A great list of points and I agree with all of them, listening to death metal and hardstyle myself most of the time. However, I so best with dead silence (I think) so it's a work in progress. I'll try out your playlist as well.

> I look for music that will keep my heart rate high and isn't created to evoke an emotional response. My aim is to be voracious in the office when it comes to completing tasks. I average 5 times the daily throughput of my coworkers. When I run out of new tasks, I set myself on building alternate versions of existing code to see if I can improve on core metrics or malleability until new work arrives. The best version goes to production. I never stop moving.

This is where I want to get to and feel like it's possible. I just left the office to go to a coffee shop because there's more going on. I usually get sucked into troubleshooting very easily, and excelled the most when I worked at a sports retailed as there "webmaster / all-around IT guy", as it had be programming most of the time but also running around and working on a lot of different things all the time.

I'm good at handling context switching between problems and scopes, but not as much in a meeting vs programming. They seem to require completely different modes for me. I'm very social, so if I'm interrupted by something remotely social, I'll usually—willingly—get absorbed into it and forget that I'm supposed to be doing work.

Thanks for the responses, you're killin it.
If only there weren't interruptions all the time this would work. No problem getting into flow state but keep getting interrupted out of it.
Is this the new PlayStation 5 controller?
Nice, I'll take a look on that one as well.
In my experience, its not good to be the smartest or most capable person in the room. I like to surround myself with smart people that I can learn from. I'm good at what I do but there is always room for improvement and learning new things. Being in over your head is a good way to learn a lot, it might be hard but you will have new skills on the other side. My advice, being willing to fail and stick it out - you are at a point of personal gain that you don't want to give up without failing out. Just do you best, get an A for effort.
"Tracking" is not a property of any particular network connection, it the act of correlation in the back end.
> If you're spreading anti-vax propaganda, you're complicit in killing kids.

Also if you're spreading pro-abortion propaganda. And pro-war propaganda. And anti-war propaganda. /s

Obviously ridiculous. Repeat after me: speech is not violence! Only people actually doing violence are violent. Want to criminalize not vaccinating kids? Be my guest, but I'll now and forever support people to campaign against it, and that shouldn't be illegal.

We appreciate your openness about how you collect data, but that's still not enough because literally every other advertising company is deceptive when they talk about privacy.

The openness must be paired with privacy that is guaranteed under all circumstances, and the most common way to achieve that would be to route the anonymized data through Tor.

Your search engine being also available on Tor has nothing to do with data collection by Cliqz on other sites. Your search engine website is not the avenue through which the Cliqz browser and extension collects data as you browse the web, I'm confused why would you even bring it up.
CSS files are in a league in their own for how badly they represent the state of my app. In no other data structure would we say "oh sure, lets arbitrarily name groups of key/value pairs in a nested hierarchy that may or may not match where they are applied. Also, its a global namespace so let's preface every name with our application name". At scale, CSS classes are really difficult to find when looking at your component and have ambiguous naming and nesting patterns. They shouldn't exist.

Styled-components solves all these problems, randomly generating CSS classes under the hood, while still creating CSS files for you. Check out https://www.styled-components.com/docs/basics#motivation.

I'm not sure I can be sympathetic to "the final HTML DOM output" matching your expectations here. Think about a Dropdown select. We still need to create a library with a bunch of absolutely positioned <div>s here because you literally can't build a good looking dropdown with normal HTML. It's really hard for me to think fondly of HTML/CSS when all they provide is assembly-code level specification. Flexbox and Grid are great counter-examples here. Still no nice looking dropdown.
It certainly does. The sun on your skin makes vitamin d which has all kinds of happy effects on us.

I don't see how this is relevant to HN. Just because it's a story about someone related to technology doesn't mean the story has anything to do with anything but politics.
Why do waves split and gather again ?
A couple of takeaways:

I’d love to see a XAML implementation for wasm, because it’s cleaner than html/css.

Looking forward to .NET Core running in warm.

I could see hackability actually improving since data and API access could be well-defined.

I could see Publishers adopting wasm so their websites are more under their control.

But most of all, software development getting out of the scripting business, which has such a wide range of misuse that it becomes expensive and unwieldy to maintain.
Can you come back in a day or so and answer some questions? I, like others, need some time to digest it.
Not the parent but I use a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 both for the camera and the mic. I don't do anything special for the lighting but my office is well-lit, both from natural light and overhead track lighting, and my background is on the opposite side of the room from the window. Main thing is not to be backlit.
I agree that these discussions are healthy. I would like to explore your initial comment though as we're dealing with culpability and intent.

> When we're considering regulation, it's important to consider the activity we're regulating in context. Here's one extreme: it's legal to light a match. It's not legal to light a match and toss it into a gas pump.

As you allude to intent matters here. Let's assume they went to the gas pump specifically to light a match and throw it into the gas pump. That is very specific and obvious intent and culpability is clear.

Now assume this person was merely lighting a cigarette in front of the pump and an ember falls off and causes a fire. Well the intent was not to set the place ablaze, but they were still either negligent or reckless in their actions, so while they are still culpable, intent is lacking here.

As a third hypothetical let's say they had a matchbook in their pocket and one match is dislodged and rubs between the striker strip and the person's cell phone, thus creating a fire while they're in front of the pump. Their intent was never to light a fire, so what is their culpability here?

Limiting ourselves to matters of scientific inquiry as related to free speech for the moment, how would the idea of culpability and intent as mentioned above factor into this? Someone espousing anti-vax opinions clearly does not have the intent of killing kids, their intent as I understand it is to prevent children from becoming autistic regardless of whether science agrees with them or not. Perhaps they could be considered negligent given current scientific understanding, but how do you even begin to consider culpability?

What if this is an area where science does not have an answer yet, but there's enormous public pressure to outlaw speaking about X or punish those who do. How does intent and culpability factor into this? Is it just "the law says x, you intended to violate it and are going to be held accountable" without any sort of deeper explanation as to why your rights were restricted? What happens if the science settles in the opposite direction as the laws and speech was curtailed wrongly in this specific framework? Similarly what happens if the laws are based on the science of the time, but the science itself discovers it erred in some way thus flipping it from being in agreement with to disagreement with the law?

Lastly how does this extend to matters where science may not provide a useful answer?

I just listened to the oral arguments given for Voisine v. United States and it's very analogous to this line of thinking. I'd highly recommend listening to it and reading the opinion.
It's Time to Replace Amtrak
Whataboutism applies here. The Democrats can get away with murder. Obama did nearly the same thing during his 2008 campaign.

Where is the real justice and why do we only care when its politically motivated it helps someone we dislike?
Ah yes, I do have other hobbies that I pursue.

But I do want to improve better in my technical skills. Idk, as I get older, I want to weigh what my options are, since going into management isn't exactly I'm excited about.
I'm firmly in the no-tilt camp, and it's very frustrating that all the pinball games out on Switch right now have no option to disable the tilt controls.

Brush up against the analog stick? Sorry, TILT.
"I saw a way out, computers, and I took it. I was able to pivot to a better career by building skills in my free time."

So clearly, everyone can follow that same path, right?
how did that change go for you? because I'm living through that transition right now at my company and it's not been smooth.
That will be nice, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Tech claims are usually exaggerated, or ignore overhead in the real world.
In this timeline a ruling like this probably increases their valuation, too bad they filed for bankruptcy.
> It’s still a trivial fraction of the company

It's an activist position, not a takeover. The shares are acquired for (a) shareholder rights, which can be accomplished with a single share and (b) economic upside.

When a hedge fund pursues this strategy, it typically purchases advertising to make its case. (The case isn't just made to current shareholders. Shares owned by a sympathizer who bought on your activism vote the same as shares held by longtime holders.) That puts a lower bound on the deal size.

Galloway has his own channels. That reduces his costs and thus minimum transaction size.
It's likely selling to developers. You'll probably see Magic Leap experiences get demos at conferences or popup events. And maybe some niche use cases in industry.
The only reason that money losing startups “business model” works is because they don’t have to worry about silly things like profits. They are also being subsidized by VCs who are being subsidized in part by public pensions.

Maybe if we didn’t give special treatment to VCs Capital gains, many of the tech bro’s would also be out of a job. If we want to stop subsidizing bad business models let’s start with not allowing public pensions and tax free endowments the ability to invest in VC.
That worked wonders for Tumblr whose value went from 1.1 billion to 3 million.
> You are not the primary target audience for the article. The many colorodoans who have read his column for years have the context to understand what his title is referencing.

Again, I knew what it was referencing. That's not sufficient for a good title.

> It hooks you from the start, because you want to know why he couldn't write about her, and the explanation doesn't need to be explicitly stated. Reading the article makes it clear how much he loved her and how painful this has been. Spelling it out explicitly would just detract from the story - he wants to focus on her, not his own pain.

That was obvious from the very start! The article doesn't slowly and implicitly build an understanding of that. It's something you know from the very first sentence, static and unchanging.

It's not a bad article. It does slowly build a detailed and emotional understanding of the relationship. But none of that development gives any more insight into why he couldn't write. It's just a broad stroke of a background detail as far as the article itself is concerned. The details of that personal journey are left untold.

> Spelling it out explicitly would just detract from the story - he wants to focus on her, not his own pain.

I'm definitely not saying he should be spelling it out in the article devoted to the story of his wife. I'm saying that the title is wrong. He could write about his own pain later, if he wanted to. And the title would be appropriate for that article, not this one.
One of the reasons of the downfall of Flash were those tiny Flash sites in the middle of a full screen page when we suddenly moved from small screens to 1366x768 or better. Many sites didn't have the resources to upgrade and started looking like something 100 years old.
In terms of Hanabi, this bot arrived at conventions that are pretty different from how humans play the game. We invited an advanced Hanabi player to play with the bot and he pointed out a few things in particular that he'd like to start using. For example, humans usually have a rule that if your teammate hints multiple cards of the same color/number, you should play the newest one. The bot uses a more complicated rule: if the card you just picked up was hinted then play that card, otherwise play the oldest hinted card. That gives you way more flexibility to hint playable cards that would otherwise be tough to get played.

I think one important general lesson is that search is really, really important. Deep RL algorithms are making huge advancements, but Deep RL alone can't reach superhuman performance in Go or poker with search. Here, too, we see that search was the key to conquering this game, and I think that will hold true in more complex real-world settings as well. Figuring out how to extend search to more complex real-world settings will be a challenge, but it's one worth pursuing.
AFAIK, in Europe you find either 10A (2300 W) on older installations, or 16A (3680 W) on newer installations. This is for your regular wall sockets.

Then you can get bigger stuff for your garage etc, you have 230V three phase in either 16A or 32A (blue connectors, physically incompatible across amperages) as well as 400V three phase in 16A and 32A (red connectors, again foolproof), i.e. 22 kW max power, generally only available if you have a new-ish house and you're running some sort of industrial equipment.
What's curious to me is how Twitter made so few improvements so slowly during the past few years, when its Chinese counterpart, Weibo, could release waves of new features in fast pace. Not that all the new features are good in users' eyes, of course, but isn't fast iteration a motto in the Bay Area?
Great suggestions. I do get plenty of exercise during the week, but not usually BEFORE work. Others have suggested that it has a similar effect to medication, and if I can get my morning in order, then maybe that would help. The engagement is I think the core thing that's really hard to get. I've floated in and out of University for a number of years as I've been fired or have become bored with the work I've been doing. It always provides a renewed sense wonder that is hard to come by I find. Likewise, I've always been in programming centric jobs from day 1 until 2017 when I couldn't find work and took up a moving job. It was incredible. I could hustle and work my ass off all day, then sit down and program during the evening. Likewise, working as a barista at Starbucks last year was refreshing. My first experience in customer service/food service showed me that I'm great at speaking to people and handling cash, but AWFUL at remembering things. As in, 3 months in I still wasn't sure how many pumps of syrup went into X.
You're arguing against a position I never took. This discussion is about Reddit comments versus hacker news comments. I never even took a side on the whole ISP debate. I'm not sure where you're going with this.
"Despite a national action plan to control LA-MRSA in the Danish pig population, 88% of pig herds tested positive in a 2016 cross-sectional study of 57 herds."

Ref:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-37075-8

Also although I cannot reference it, I also recall a documentary on MRSA cases jumping from livestock to Humans in Denmark, it was mostly farm and abattoir workers.

I am not one to disagree that we need to reduce antibiotics on livestock as a whole. But the reality is that this is likely hard to achieve without decreasing the population density of livestock per square meter in farms and that is likely to not be possible at the price point people are willing to accept to buy meat. So something eventually will have to give or nature will take it's course and find a way.
False equivalence applies here. Barack Obama did not hire a foreign agency to accept laundered intelligence from a hostile foreign intelligence agency to target American voters for disinformation and propaganda to materially affect an American election.

It's not illegal for American companies, complying with American election regulations, to be hired by an American campaign to help with an American election.

It's very illegal and fundamentally a Constitutional crisis to involve foreign firms and foreign militaries in your campaign, however. Our founders discussed this in the Federalist Papers and elsewhere, how protecting our elections from foreign influence was of the most important parts of maintaining soverignity (and helps understand precisely what we lose when we legitimize Donald Trumps work with foreign militaries to attack our own country by limply comparing it to non-equal and legal counter examples).

It has never happened in our entire history, that a candidate for office would work with foreign firms and hostile militaries to attack our own elections. Well, until 2016.

Whataboutism is a perfect description of your tactic: a rhetorical trick to create false equivalence to hide far greater crimes under the guise of "everyone does it"
All self-checkouts? At my neighbourhood Walmart, the checkout area is split into three sections: regular checkout (cashiers behind long conveyor belts, separate queues), express checkout (cashier with no conveyor belt, combined queue), and self-checkout (no cashier, combined queue). In Ontario, Canada.

I was impressed with The Home Depot's new self-checkout "machine", which is basically a touch-screen monitor sitting on a big table with a handheld wireless barcode scanner and a regular old receipt printer sitting beside it. Importantly, they ditched the weigh scales which are far too sensitive.
I don't know if there is an option, at least not legislatively. Risk is so subjective, and trying to force people to be 'rational' in their risk assessment is futile. Even if we could force people to be rational, there is still the subjective nature of the 'value' of the risky behavior. I personally think BASE jumping is way too risky for me, but I wouldn't tell someone else that they are irrational for deciding it is worth it for them.

So what do we do? What we are currently doing, really. We try to educate people about vaccines, we pass laws saying unvaccinated kids can't go to public schools without a medical reason (which yes, that loophole will be exploited, but it is an improvement), and we work to reduce the risk as much as we can. We are never going to 'solve' the problem of people making risky decisions that hurt society as a whole, so we just do our best to mitigate where we can, and accept the rest of the risk as just part of being a human in society.
Instead of fines, I would rather see mandatory SS7 circuit decom for any business that facilitates these calls, spoofed text messages, etc. Same goes for ISP's. Facilitate this nonsense, lose your AS number and IP allocations.

If Google went back to the original algorithms it would return even worse results. Much of the noise can be attributed to two factors: (1) the explosive growth of the Internet itself, which was much much smaller and had more focused and authoritative content 20 years ago; and (2) aggressive SEO tactics today that would easily fool the early versions of PageRank.
Drivel. Nothing directly actionable. If a CEO has to be physically in his office to successfully run the company, he has done a poor job in building leadership under him/her. Jack is doing what he should be, finding new growth opportunities. Milking the users with more Ads will just piss off users for short term gains.
I have rarely run into this issue, but they do occur which is why WITH RECOMPILE exists. The majority of the time caching the plans is a benefit and therefore has been the default behavior with a opt out option.

With that kind a of plan instability I start looking at query hints though which PG doesn't have either...
Your issue is with a person using spoken English in a text medium.

No way to convey intonation in text so people often use a question mark to convey it.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
Not really. You can't be fired for religion. I wonder what would happen if someone (like Damore) said "I religiously believe that women shouldn't work".
> In fact one of the very best things about Twitter is it gives regular people a way to refute journalists, bad journalism and media agenda.

It also gives those same journalists easy to use tools to dunk on people who criticize them, to a huge audience. So you know, swings and roundabouts.

> Though it's not that new, we've had Avanti Markets at my workplace for a number of years now, and it's an honor system.

We got them at my workplace a couple years ago.

In the case of Avanti, I feel it's different. Getting caught stealing from Avanti could cost you your job. I wouldn't risk my job for a ham sandwich.
It's using some mixture of Wordpress, React "styled components", Core.js, and other libraries. WP is the backend and returns the post as JSON so the JS is needed to turn it into HTML.

It's poor website design, but JS is turning into the new Flash. People want glitzy websites and don't care about load times.
I'm the author of "Crafting Interpreters".

I really like "Engineering a Compiler", but it's probably not the best first book for implementing a programming language. It's primarily a textbook for backend optimization. It covers just enough front end to feel like a complete book, but you can tell the authors assume you've already taken an undergrad class in compilers before.

It is an excellent second or third book after you have a working compiler and you want to start understanding how industrial-grade compilers make code go fast. It's the best textbook I know on optimization. Most other compiler optimization material lives in academic papers, which can be scattershot and difficult to absorb.

One of my goals with "Crafting Interpreters" was to give people an intuitive feel for PL implementation so that they are better prepared to approach deeper works like "Engineering a Compiler".
Those are good questions and part of my soul searching as well. I think I want to get into top tech companies (financially motivated), but I've been studying DS&A a lot and definitely think it was a diminishing returns. I think my DS&A is pretty good but I'm still experiencing failure for FAANG interviews. I don't want to do more DS&A if I have to, but I want to get better so that I can move beyond just doing APIs and widgets.

I am not that interested in management track. As I get older, I think technical skills aren't as valued anymore, except in top tech companies.
