So, basically a mainframe on a chip?

Honestly, how would that work? Is all that memory coherent? There are a couple of reasons why mainframes cost so much, and some of them are technical.

I keep expecting servers to evolve into a multi-CPU non-coherent RAM, but the industry keeps doubling down on coherent RAM¹. At some point servers will turn into a single-board blade hack (that you can mount on a blade hack, piled on a hack), I wonder for how long CPU designers can sustain our current architecture.

Humans during this time followed game and ripening fruits. They had huge ranges compared to the neolithic. It's easy to imagine different bands frequently coming into brief contact and trading artwork or technology. If your band ranges over 200 miles in a year, it would only take a couple dozen bands to span from France to Japan across the eurasian steppe.

The art was also not likely limited to caves. Painting on hides, or exposed to the elements would not survive. Caves are ideal conditions for preservation.
Not in countries with bedbugs.

Can't guarantee it for laptops (unless it's something common like a Thinkpad T60), but I bet there's a free driver for the X1600 in 19.04. The proprietary ones from AMD have long been unsupported on the 1600 tho.
This is something I very recently was wondering existed. I was thinking of creating a vector logo for a project, and was curious if vector software was capable of defining relationships like you have done here. It would allow for easily determining what ratios between elements look most visually appealing. I'll definitely take a look at this and let you know if I have any feedback.

Is there actually no other existing tools that have a similar functionality?
I'd argue the Middle East conflicts don't fit the scenario of total war. By total war, I'm picturing the scenarios of WW1 and 2.

1. Total mobilization of the population: drafting or conscription or calling up all reserves)

2. Switching to a wartime economy, where a large portion of the economy is directed to the war effort, with government regulation and rationing of important strategic resources. This also requires a robust industrialized economy, capable of producing weaponry and performing research.

3. A prolonged conflict (which tends to be a prerequisite for 1 and 2) so that initial stockpiles have been drained.

4. Access to vital resources and equipment is cut off, due to embargoes, blockades, and interdiction of supplies.

I can't think of a Middle Eastern conflict that fits all of those criteria.
I had lunch with a crow in Austin once! It was my favorite experience. I was having pizza on an outside table on 3rd/2nd ave, and a Crow was standing nearby looking at me, probably waiting until I finished so it could swoop in on the left-overs. I motioned it to come closer, left a bit of pizza on top of the table, and it flew up on the table with me. Then I'd munch on a bite, tear off a piece for the crow, and it would eat the piece. Went like that for like 20 minutes before I had to get back to work, but it was so cute. I had a little crow buddy! :)
BTW I was wondering about that, I have a recurring reminder to check it every week and months after it was "launched" it still says I'm not eligible (I live in the USA). Do you know when it is actually going live?
Haha "yet". Removing human doctors from the process is sci-fi, and not really 'hard' sci-fi either, as it stands now. Lawyers and CEOs will be far easier to automate.

Rather than dreaming about that, the focus should definitely be on "clinical decision support", i.e. "something useful that will save a radiologist some time and won't just get in the way". Not too many examples of that exist right now. Even speech-to-text is not a solved problem in their domain.

OT but I find the translation from 神曲 to God Songs very inaccurate. The word 神 has many meanings in Chinese other than referring to gods. Some related expression such as 这玩意真神 or 这人真神 would be more properly translated into: this thing/person is enthralling/magical/enchanting/hypnotizing.

神曲 would be the kind of songs that are so hypnotizing that you can't direct your attention elsewhere. And those songs might not necessarily be nice songs. They are referred to as 魔性洗脑神曲 sometimes, which is something like enchanted brainwashing hypnotizing songs in English. One of the first songs being associated with this term is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7U0EirV2Hw
Ask HN: Where to hire freelance web/app developers without a annoying middleman?
Hey HN,

I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is seeking to hire someone for their project (i'm a dev but i work full time) and i've always been curious as to where to actually suggest. I know Upwork/Freelancer is just a no and it's also something he does not want. All i'm aware of so far is Reddit. Would love to know of any suggestions. Thank you!
I've gotten into trade shows at Moscone for free by pushing a hand truck into the loading dock. If you look exasperated, people will get out of your way and point you in the right direction.

Actually, it sounds an awful lot like "damned if you don't, damned if you pretend you do to keep not doing it".
Yes indeed. Women just don't want to work in one of the fastest growing and highest paying professions in America. They would much rather take lower paying jobs where you don't get free lunches and flexible dress codes at the office.

I'm sure you're right.
It’s not suggested as a ‘solution’. It’s an ‘option’ some of us women would like...that’s all.
I haven't watched it in a while, so I may get some specifics wrong, but it goes through various hypotheticals, until finally getting to the point where you are innocent, and you only tell the truth, but talking to the police gets you convicted. IIRC the example was you saying "I was out of town visiting my mom when the crime happened" but they have a (mistaken) witness putting you near the scene. The fact that you (supposedly) lied about where you were combined with other circumstantial evidence may be enough to convict you.

Note also that even an innocent person will almost always give contradicting accounts of a situation if interrogated for long enough.

[edit]

There were several such examples, including the one I remembered from 14-23 minutes.
Ask HN: Salary offer significantly lower than consulting arrangement
Hey HN -

I've been working with startups for the past 12+yrs, many of which have been YC companies. I've been a consultant for the majority of that time.

I've been working with a YC company since June as a consultant for $10k/mo flat rate. If I take any days off, I pro-rate my invoice accordingly.

I received a written offer today for a full time role - something I've been looking forward to! However, the offer was for $90k with 0.1%. I would have to relocate across the country to accept the job.

I'm left feeling like I'm being asked to move, surrender a significant amount of freedom (I have no commute now & can travel as long as I'm online during business hours), and take a pay cut at the same time. A big part of me thinks I'm being selfish by focusing on what I'm losing - rather than what I'm gaining (I LOVE the people I'm working with). I don't think they'd be interested in extending my current consulting contract if I didn't accept the full-time role.

Would it be fair to ask to maintain a $120k salary (equiv to my $10k/mo contract) plus benefits? I realize that technically this is a raise, though I feel like the raise is justified by the move across country + loss of some freedom.

If you were in my shoes - what would you do?

Thank you!
It's true that few on the left will assert that there are zero sex-based average behavioral differences, but you can't deny that it makes most progressives...uncomfortable. I'm pretty far left and I've seen it; people won't deny the possibility outright, but they'll look for every other possible explanation first, even if they sound substantially less plausible.

Seriously?!?!?!?!?! You call that open source?!??!?! OK, let's leave the semantics aside for a moment. Yes, a dataset like that would be very interesting and I would happily play around with it for a few weeks and see what I can come up with. If it's something worth exploring further, I'll happily document it and open source it. But that isn't something I can really estimate without being to explore the data and see first hand what it is. For that reason alone, myself (and dozens off the top of my head) will roll their eyes and pretend like it doesn't exist.

False claims, over-hyping with no real understanding and bureaucratic crap like this is what is slowing everyone and everything down, the sooner people understand it, the better.

By any chance are you reopening a previously created animation? If so, it may get 404'd. The server ran out of disk space and I had to delete a large number of animations.

I was looking at the site that's linked from the augur.net home page, which now only lists two markets:

https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmaM5kLjo21i2eCSiaDQh4S1dG4...

I don't know enough about Augur to understand what the difference between the two sites is. What does seem strange to me, though, is that predictions.global claims that $2.6M is at stake, but the top 10 markets sorted by "money at stake" only sum up to roughly $288k at stake. (The last one in the list is under $1k, too, so I have a hard time believing that the remaining $2.3M is all in the long tail.)
Most good employees do this quarterly at performance reviews. Asking for feedback is absolutely the norm, and good managers will give it to an employee in an honest fashion. I've seen truculent employees of either gender giving a hard time to managers of either gender.

I also don't think that the sort of screaming you described is ever an appropriate activity in which any manager should engage. If you don't like the work he's doing, fire him; a "a voice quivering, temple throbbing, blue vein screaming episode" is never appropriate.
> pay scale disparities would also disappear if women had gender segregated work spaces.

Okay so here's the thing. Even with my typically-European limited view into the salaries of others at my work places, from what I've observed and from the statistics I have consulted the actual "pay scale disparities" between genders are tiny / non-existent if you compare the same jobs. There is a major difference in gender-split GDP (~15-25 % depending on the country), but that is mostly down to women and men having different distributions of jobs, and not down to women getting paid less for the same work. Whether, globally speaking, different job distributions are a major issue, is an open debate.

Exactly. And once you look at the sub fields, medicine stops looking so gender equal. Most nurses are female. Most surgeons are male. Most family doctors are female, etc. In aggregate the field is about 50-50, but medicine specialties are not gender neutral at all.
Implicit bias also guides interests and choice. Many women I meet today simply did not consider the possibility of an engineering career, not that they were forced out of it.

We look to outcome equality to gain some kind of insight into this.

>It could start erasing a ton of subtle abnormalities and this would not be possible to check for since the original scan will be lower quality.

Radiologists are notoriously conservative for that very reason. Dreamy-eyed image processing and computer vision researchers have been trying to get radiologists to abandon some of their caution for many decades. All in vain. "Hard pass", they say most of the time. The dream usually doesn't get as far as their malpractice insurers, but it certainly dies there if it makes it that far.

Imagine thinking that either of the two pablum offerings the Brits have to choose from would actually accomplish anything meaningful. Imagine thinking Boris would close off immigration and deport all the non-native people, or that Corbyn is really an anti-Semite like he's been smeared as.

They're both stuffed suits. Nothing that matters to the life of the average native Briton is going to change for the better under either option.

Erm, actually James I know quite a few people in Marin that are totally fine with a deer on the hood. Somehow I never saw you hanging out with any of us.

But, then, none of us are multimillionaires who are worthy of running around in Mr. Hetfield's social circles.
Mavericks is the last version before Apple did a huge visual makeover, to bring everything more in line with the visual style of modern iOS. I could rant for a while about why I dislike the new visuals, but my single biggest issue is the lack of contrast, which I find physically tiring on my eyes. Old OS X has a wide range of tones and well-placed accents, which make everything easy to scan.

In some ways, I actually see the advent of dark mode as Apple recognizing this problem—and papering over it with a bad solution. Old OS X was neither light nor dark to begin with. (Particularly circa-10.5—after Snow Leopard they began slowly brightening everything).

Separately from the visuals... this is a bit more opaque because I'm not a developer, but Yosemite introduced a lot of instability, and I'm convinced that Apple has never fully recovered. El Capitan (10.11) and High Sierra (10.13) were pretty stable by their final releases, but 10.9.5 is just really rock solid.

> In the 1960s and 1970s law schools started admitting gender balanced classes.

Be specific, because this could mean different things. Were the genders balanced because the applicant pool itself had become balanced, or because law schools started enforcing balance in admission, or a mix of both?

> In the 1970s and 1980s there was a series of lawsuits as a result of which law firms began to hire gender balanced classes of entry level lawyers

And what were the graduate pools like at the time, re: gender balance? Do you have sources that talk about these points, because it sounds interesting.

Part of the issue for tech companies is that there are fewer women with CS degrees, something they don't directly control, and have only modest at best influence over. And then at the university level, they've had issues getting more women to sign up, though I understand some schools have had more success than others.
The broader principle I'm seeing is, when it comes to competence, a small company is probably best off looking for reasons to accept, not reasons to reject. Small companies aren't subject to the same corruption-control constraints that large companies are, so they have more flexibility in onboarding someone who doesn't fit in one of the usual boxes but nevertheless can probably provide more than enough value to the business.

(Incidentally, the main reasons I'd reject an engineer candidate who did seem individually competent and motivated enough relate to trust and team collaboration.)
Motherhood.
I understand that 'culture' is more important, the smaller the group. You have to get along with everybody in the group, or conflicts quickly take valuable time that should be moving the project forward.

But this often devolves into discrimination. Everybody from the same socioeconomic slot means cliques, doesn't it? How can it not?

We used to have something called 'professionalism', where you worked with somebody in a role because, they had that responsibility and you had yours. Not because you could hang out with them.
Making breaking changes and pushing them to your customers without warning is bad, no question.

Staying compatible with everything forever is equally bad, but we only realize that over relatively long timescales.

I think there's a middle-ground between these two extremes that hasn't been explored: when you make an incompatible change, fork. Patch only the worst bugfixes and security fixes on old forks (but continue these indefinitely). Point new users at the latest fork in each point in time. Support switching forks on your users' schedule.

This approach adds some overhead for authors and maintainers. But I think it's not as much as we fear. And it can be automated over time.

There's a selfish reason this never happens, but we don't talk about it in polite company: if you start forking yourself you make it more acceptable for others to fork you. I think that's a good thing. We should all stop playing shallow politics and encourage being forked by others.
If you don't like the smell then you could simply stop selling (political) ads. Facebook made the decision to enter the advertising business, this is just par for the course.
