I don't know if there is a best one, but after trying several, my cats found one they really like:

We got this expansion kit to go with it:

One nice thing about this wand is that it has three telescoping sections, so the tip section is thin and wiggly.

It's so wiggly that the cats learned to use it on their own!

My dayjob in the banking industry is strictly NIST SP 800-63B compliant for all systems we control.

Our industry partners, who are mostly large banks, have idiotic make-work policies. Some are just plain made up without justification by an internal auditor who thinks they’re smart. More than one even consider usernames to be secrets and one threatened to bail on a contract when our apps began displaying the username on-screen and in audit reports.
Speaker wire generally degrades in sunlight, so that might not be a valid comparison for the "disaster-resistant permanent installation" market.
This reads a lot like the central premise in "You" by Austin Grossman -- unkillable NPCs are occasionally found to be dead and that bug is threatening the entire game studio.
Well, being notoriously hard to get into, to the point that you have had to grind out the work/studying and also be talented to get in, probably means just keep on doing what you were.
Neural networks also led to the AI winter. It wasn't until we had enough compute power that neural networks become popular again.

Some people think that reasoning is the same. If we had a database of enough common sense facts there would be a tipping point were it becomes useful.
Agree. I went somewhere easy to get into and very very hard to get out of with a degree. You had to know your stuff. All of it.

Great, except those aren't the problems facing nuclear. The issues are cost and public perception. Reactors are already exceptionally safe compared to fossil fuel plants. People don't like nuclear and even when they do they don't want it near their home. This has resulted in among other things an absurdly expensive and drawn-out process for getting approval to build a new plant.

It would do all of those things more than a typical cup of coffee; 5mg amphetamine is the lowest common dose (something like a 6-8oz cup of coffee), whereas 10-20mg is more common.

A small 8oz coffee has ~120mg caffeine, and a 12oz cup has ~180mg. a 10mg amphetamine has considerably stronger effects on the CNS than even 180mg caffeine, and a far greater psychoactive effect.

We are of course assuming a "typical" individual; there are those who have extreme jitteryness off half a cup of coffee, as there are those who experience myocardial events off typically therapeutic doses of amphetamine.
It's not entrapment. Entrapment is a very narrow set of circumstances.

>The key aspect of entrapment is this: Government agents do not entrap defendants simply by offering them an opportunity to commit a crime. Judges expect people to resist any ordinary temptation to violate the law.

IANAL and I'm sure this will get downvoted since people won't like what I have to say.

I'd concentrate on the positive rather than the negative, that if you get to work on this project via your employer from this point on you'll be getting paid to do the thing you were doing for free.

Getting paid for past work seems unlikely. You already admitted you didn't care about compensation by open sourcing the project. You were willing to give it to anyone, including your own company as open source. Not that you can't ask, maybe they'll be nice about it, but just saying it's strange that before they asked you were giving it away for free to any company and now that they asked you want compensation.

To be harsh you arguably did something wrong by making something that directly competes with your employer. It doesn't matter that it was on your own time. It's called a "Duty of Loyalty" and basically means you can't get paid as an employee and at the same time stab them in the back by competing with them.

https://www.google.com/search?q=duty%20of%20loyalty%20employ...

Maybe you don't think it competes but you said yourself it directly relates to what they do so yes, as you admitted, you've cornered yourself in a bad place.

Some companies, like Google, have an easy way to get a signed contract saying they will not claim interest in your project before you start (or they'll point out it's a conflict of interest like if you said you wanted to make a cloud based mail service ... in which case my guess is they would try to get you to join the gmail team, contribute to it, or you could quit and start your cloud based emails start up). The point is they are upfront about the legal issues and provide a way to work out a solution. Most companies don't have a procedure for this until it's too late.

It’s pretty much just Bing. Saw posted a bit ago that if you DDG “what is my user agent”, the website preview text will show that it’s Bing. Which means DDG is just whitelabling Bing’s index.

I use bing exclusively. Sometimes I don’t find what I want, and switching to google is as simple as swapping out the authority. The query syntax is the same.
I do, as part of my work.

I've been very poor (more than once), and I'm currently quite comfortable. I've always read a lot, and would be in a very different place if I hadn't. Using libraries has been a big part of that, but they are of course much less useful for cutting-edge tech topics. I'm limiting this to those, in situations where you think absorbing the book will improve your chops.

You should buy the book, because this makes both you and the author better off.

But if you can't, you should read it anyway, because at least one of you is benefiting. You can buy the book later when you're in a better place, or at least pay it forward in some other way.

The only thing worse than not getting paid for your work is your unpaid work not being used at all.
Every once in a while something like this comes up in HN and the top voted answer is always “find a lawyer”.

My 2 cents - don’t.

You want compensation, you want to direct the roadmap. Your employer wants ownership. Where is the conflict?

Why make one?

(P.S. - my legal experience “peaked” about a decade ago when I hired Andrew Valentine, managing partner of DLA Piper Palo Alto to help bridge what should have been an easy win-win. We ended with a whole lot of losers. I got a full refund, though, so yah.)

(Also - Andrew, in case you read this, you never sent me the invoice for the out-of-pocket expenses you paid to UPS documents to San Bruno. I’d be happy to pay those. Contact in profile.)
Bigger batches are good, but they result in locking. Picking a good batch size relative to how much data you have
is important. This new technique lets you, effectively, buy a "meta batch" for free (that is a terrible analogy, but it's the best I can do.).

As batches get bigger and can't fit inside a single gpu or single compute node, your challenge becomes data transport. So anything that will be able to decouple your computatational agents can be a win.

In this case, it's a more clever way of decoupling your agents. Normally asynchronous batches are awful, but this is kind of a very clever way of allowing for asynchronous batching of your data.

If I may opine on the matter, I think we're reaching a point where machine learning researchers should start thinking about abandoning python as a programming medium. For example, the other decoupling strategy (decoupled neural net backpropagation) doesn't really seem like something I would want to write in python, much less debug someone else's code. Python is really not an appropriate framework for tackling difficult problems in distribution and network coordination.
Yep. Happens all the time going northbound on 280 at the 101/280 interchange in SF. You'll always see at least one person clogging up one of the two 280 north lanes by trying to squeeze into the (almost always near-stationary) 101 north lanes. Then, further up 280, the same thing happens with the 6th Street exit, without fail.
JWTs and sessions are not in any way orthogonal in a system as a whole. We use JWTs primarily for scalable backends - if a session is setup or not in the front end is not a concern for the API backend services. In a microservice environment there could be many of these - that’s the whole point after all. And with JWTs being sent to these they can simply verify the integrity of the caller without asking a central authority. Coupled with OAuth2 and OIDC as protocols for delegation/federation and you have a system that scales extremely well. Of course, it might not be the first concern that needs to be addressed in a small startup but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a place.

I mean, the lens of history is firmly nearsighted on the aristocracy, so we don't have a lot of good data on the normal folk. But smaller communities were not any more or less nice than the larger ones.

People are still just people.

One somewhat clear example is the Huguenot riots of France after the Medieval warm period [0]. Towns would routinely tear themselves apart.

Another is actual Socrates. He was killed for teaching the youth 'bad' things, essentially [1].

Yes, flexibly applying situational tactics to follow the principle and spirit of the strategy rather than the letter of the rulebook, is what leaders generally want their people to do. They communicate intent and let good judgement do the rest.

The way I have always thought of strategy, though, is that it should be directional. Say what input variables you think we should increase or decrease, in order to get closer to the optimum, relative to where we are currently.

Taking your example of cost vs. quality. Obviously we want to find an optimum. If a manager can state which direction we need to move in and why, to make progress toward the optimum, I will take their strategy seriously. But if they just tell their people to "optimize," I dismiss them as having no strategy. A manager who's responsible for formulating and communicating a strategy, has to at least have an opinion about which side of the curve we're currently on.

Early in my career I was an analyst at an ocean shipping company--lower rates meant fuller ships, higher rates meant better unit margin but lower utilization. Corporate's strategic message? "Fill up the ships with high-paying cargo." It became a joke among the employees.

Wikipedia says of Autocode,

> The first autocode and its compiler were developed by Alick Glennie in 1952 for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester and is considered by some to be the first compiled programming language.

which seemingly contradicts the implication in the NTY article that Booker was the principal author of Autocode.

It seems Booker and Glennie were coworkers at Turing's lab. Anyone know more?

EDIT: The Glennie claim is sourced to a 1976 paper coauthored by Donald Knuth, where Knuth says

> The unsung hero of this development was Alick E. Glennie of Fort Halstead, the Royal Armaments Research Establishment. We may justly say "unsung" because it is very difficult to deduce from the published literature that Glennie introduced this system.

No it is merely a act of divestiture of capital / wealth that shareholders already own.

What is peculiar is that this act has nothing to do with running a company well in the long term, yet is the most immediate way executives can improve their "performance based compensation". Execs seem to have found a hack around stock based compensation that biases companies towards divestiture over investment, and the short-term minded shareholders are onboard with this scheme at the expense of long-term minded shareholders.

This looks largely like a bug in the executive compensation system...I'm curious what kinds of fixes are going to come out of the world of MBA academia.
I think one issue I had as an occasional reader is that they were too invested in one perspective only.

But this is the obvious answer. OP didn't need you to tell him to get a lawyer. If he had that kind of money he'd be talking to a lawyer not us. I mean I know you meant well and I know I probably sound like a negative jerk but yeah of course it's a legal issue and he should talk to a lawyer. It's like if someone has a stomach ache and they asked online what it might be and someone tells them they should see a doctor. It's obvious and doesn't need to be said.

I think what OP needs are good resources so that he can educate himself as much as possible. Yeah he also needs a lawyer, if this is that important to him, but being informed will be a force multiplier here.

in my experience people are generally shity when you ask for legal advice online but you could try that. For example stack exchange has one but you'll probably get condemned on there instead of getting helpful advice.

An out-of-the-box idea might be to find a paralegal on FIVERR and ask them to dig up resources to read up on.

Again I apologize for being such a jerk about your suggestion. I'm a terrible person.
> The point though is that if password changes are required, even with a long expiration time, people are only going to make minor and probably predictable changes to their password.

More significantly, if changes are required or weird composition rules used, people are more likely to store their password in a convenient unprotected form (historically, often paper kept next to their main computer, which is a risk, but these days the convenient form may itself by subject to remote compromise, making an even bigger risk.)
These kids mostly got straight As and perfect SAT scores in high school, so I don't think it should be that surprising that it continues in their college studies also. I think it kind of depends on whether you think students should be evaluated on their own or in comparison to the rest of the class.
