On any plane I've been on, the armrest barely reaches my shoulder when in the up position. I have no idea how you can manage this.
The core of this is financial liability. Whether that is extremely helpful, or just somewhat helpful depends on the context. I can't think of many cases where you wouldn't want to have an LLC, or Limited Company (UK), or whatever the equivalent is.

Creating one can help enforce some separation too: different bank accounts, different AWS accounts, etc. This feels pretty good, unless the company is some tax dodge which also places increased transparency on some things.

Whatever someone does, they can make a fair attempt at running their business professionally and it will limit significant risk and liability. This means taking boring paperwork and bureaucracy seriously. It means recognizing mistakes and fixing them before they get serious. Good companies don't generally get sued and lose. You can also seek outside advice so that you make better decisions. When you take reasonable measures these will get recognized when you are in a situation.
Show HN: EZBudget: Interactive budget planner from 2012
I'm reminded of the joke about the guy who threw away half the CVs he recieved because he didn't want to hire unlucky people.
True; I didn't even consider the weight.
I wonder if, as a singular "they" becomes more common, we will begin seeing it treated as singular grammatically.

i.e. "They has to make sure their code passes tests before committing it"

It sounds weird after a lifetime of treating they as plural, but is a lot more clear. I have a friend who's S.O. prefers to be referred to as "they", and I constantly find myself confused whether we are talking about his S.O., or some group of people.
? What was this supposed to be to?
I have been pronouncing it Askinnema in my head, because that's how people pronounce ASCII, and I then just added the suffix in what is the most natural way to say it for me - I'm ESL though.
But have they failed? The arrogance will be even stronger in someone who has had success so early. Risk is much higher with such an individual.

The risk associated with backing a founder who has failed at something is a lot higher than backing a founder who has succeeded in a previous startup. You can't just ignore people's experience and assume that failing at something counts for more than successfully running and exiting a business.

There's loads of evidence that people succeed in their second venture after a successful exit more often than founders succeed in their first startup. Investors are very sensible looking at someone's track record.
That's very concerning! I live in a Labour safe seat in Wales so there's basically no campaigning here, but I was wondering what the situation is in marginals.

The Super Pacs is a good example - it does sound like the Tories are (worryingly) going down this route.
> But they don't. The go compiler doesn't support yarn, npm, protobuf, open-api generators, doc generators like md2man, go-bindata-assetfs, gox and everything you need to complete the code generation done in modern Go applications.

I sincerely wish this was sarcasm, but I know it isn't. I mean, do people feel they really need it to be this complicated in order to be big boy developers?
Every time? If a person never used it I think he or she might sound stilted, since he or she would need to alter his or her speech in order to avoid the pronoun he or she wanted to avoid.

To each his or her own I suppose :)
>what do I do with the rest of this can of tomato paste?

If you're cooking for one, I recommend buying tomato paste in toothpaste-style metal tubes, rather than cans. Keep the tube in the fridge and it lasts quite a long time (whereas tomato paste from opened cans goes bad quickly).
Just out of curiosity, where does your experience with "non-STEM university and grad settings" come from that you are judging and contrasting it so harshly with STEM?

Seems like you've been in higher level STEM settings and your experience outside of that has been low level electives, you've had limited and unusually poor samples, or you're just speaking out of bias for (presumably) your own path in life.

I don't think people who are not "STEM" are generally going around navigating the world and school like uninformed, idiot freshman who don't know how to participate in their own education... At least not any more then people in STEM are ;-)
A union would not have solved that. Instead, it would likely accelerate it, like it has with the UAW. Unions don’t fix the economics of globalization. Plus, I am not concerned that something similar will happen anyway.
Fair points. My goal was examples, not toal accuracy.

And again: the key is that the language usage is metaphorical, rather than literal.

Your friend was probably talking about Diesel migrations: https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel
Architecture principles are codified. For day to day programming, you're looking for design patterns. The main reference is the Gang of Four's Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Design (https://springframework.guru/gang-of-four-design-patterns/). If you're looking for more of a systems architecture, the architecture of open source is a good resource: http://aosabook.org/en/index.html

That has a strong parallel with how I went from public transit to driving a car. Before, I had to leave at an exact time to make the train, if I didn't I'd be half an hour late. I guess private jets are the same on a long distance scale. And a few orders of magnitude in cost.
I would focus on making your PRs as small as possible. I think what you want to aim for here is getting consistent about merging some small amount of code every day; writing the code is the easy part, going through the review and addressing the feedback is the hard part. If you keep the code small, the review will be small. Then when you repeat the process tomorrow, you'll be able to take into account all the learnings from yesterday's review. Eventually review time will be shorter and your changes will get larger.
>Like Alexa - people are willing to have a Big Brother-esque speaker inside their homes for the convenience of playing some music? Is that all it takes?

Here's my workaround: my smart speaker is tied to the lightswitch. It's only on when I'm in that room and if Google can somehow make use of the fact I stream a podcast or the local NPR station while bathing and shaving more power to them.
This reminds me of my MSN Groups groups I had as a kid. I wish I could go back and see them, but I wasn't "big" enough, even though I had like 80 members.

> Using "sie" to specify one person in german sounds a lot like "pluralis majestatis" to me."

no. we have that too, but it's the second person plural. Nobody uses this any more though because we killed our kings back in the early to mid 1800s :p
If the mistreatment is for example regarding an individual's behaviour, usually some manager, it's much better to talk to a union rep than HR for obvious reasons.

Your acting like this is new, the poor have always been crapped on. It was common for wet nurses babies to die in the 18th and 19th century. A mother can make enough milk for 2 babies, but the wealthy who hired wet nurses didn't want poor babies around their precious rich babies.

Wow, some people are quite something, acting like whole universe revolves around them. I guess I would respond (in rather forced) polite manner that you are disappointed by his reaction, that he should take steps to have more control of his emotions for his own good, that because of his insults you are hereby stopping any other communication with him, unless he offers 100x more as compensation for his hurtful actions.

We all can do our little to teach a-holes of this world a lesson or two in good manners. Nothing crazy or vengeful, but something they can and should take as a lesson to become better human beings. Or suffer, their choice. Even most broken people usually understand that kind of basic logic.
What about 'startup/tech' companies like Telegram? I can't bulk delete data in group chats, which to me seems in violation of my GDPR rights. I also have no idea where they are permanently based or how to properly contact them? They are an immensely shady outfit...

In fact, some unions set minimums but don't discourage negotiating a higher wage. And could cover stuff like overtime pay for being on call.
I couldn't tell you the timing. I would have said in the mid-90s, constructions like he/she or deliberately making sure to explicitly have both male and female personas for the purposes of examples in tech writing were still pretty common.

I think if I had guessed, I'd have thought this particular hidden role game was easily beaten with AI since the meaningful choices are so limited. Still, it was worth actually proving. I suspect something like one-night werewolf is unbeatable by ai since it's so heavily based on communication, and there's only one a single vote in the game, though..
In the the last couple months I've drastically cut down on my caffeine intake noticing more even energy levels. In the past two weeks I've been on a (not fully strict) vegan diet. The improvement has been dramatic, I have much more energy/motivation after hours and on weekends and started digging out stored equipment to sort through, use, sell, discard.

True, but it would reflect real experiences of patients having the respective procedures done under normal conditions by ordinary surgeons, rather than under trial conditions. If there is a big difference in real world clinical outcomes, it would be evidence for the need for a new study.

The 2016 report is free (including supplementary appendix) at https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa1610227 The appendix includes an extensive list of trial participants and institutions. It was a global study.

The press release[1] has contact information for several people involved with the project. Perhaps you could offer to translate the course into Catalan. It doesn't hurt to ask. If you feel really strongly it should be offered in your native language you could also just do the entire translation and then contact them. Once you've put in all the effort it will be much harder for them to say thanks but no thanks.

Not sure about seq2gif but I think using ttyrec to capture data instead of asciinema has some benefits.

For example, ttyrec is a 33KB standalone binary while asciinema needs python. This might be a problem if you are recording something on a remote machine with limited access or resources.

You can upload ttyrec data to asciinema so nothing really changes on that front.
I see a few notable companies, and then the option to search. Can you include a full list of Data Brokers available to be easier to browse?
Hi, I created this budget planner tool back in 2012 and haven't really added to it since, but I've found it really useful tool over the years. It projects your budget into the future and makes it easy to see if you've overspending or underspending.

I'm looking for some feedback on it:

Do you find it useful?

Are there features you'd like to add?

Are there other products that do a better job of this?

All the budget data is stored in localStorage, nothing is being tracked, there's no server just a backbone app on S3.

Thanks!

Though "organically" falls perpendicular to "randomly" as we've made sense of much of what has arisen over the long term in the actual organic world right?

In the same way many (perhaps reading Douglas Adams' puddle analogy) sided with evolution over creationist fervor, I think eventually many will begin to sympathize with the minority of thinkers who have "made sense" of why it was so important for pre-21st-century speakers to know the sex of everyone in a discussion, over an explanation that might be more incentivized...
Most people already carry a Big Brother-esque device with a camera and microphone in their pockets everywhere they go.
It probably is and they just don't know or the policy is lax enough to allow it but triggers an alarm in OIT.
Unions as an abstract idea are valuable; however the implementation is often a nightmare of protectionism. Also unions value conformity which is not exactly a programmer strong suit. Imagine the horrible processes you are stuck in today and double or triple them. I have worked in union places with reasonable interactions between management and labor and places where you were required to negotiate with 4 unions to move a box from one cube to another. Programmers also tend to be idealistic and unions are often hard core realists which might wind up disappointing to work for. I am not convinced any existing union would be able to represent a large group of programmers as opposed to a large group of longshoreman without the programmers jumping ship.
I've never studied parenting across the country, and I acknowledge that there are definitely cultures around the world where women are treated like property, but I've never witnessed a parent enforcing some gender stereotype for toys. It's hard to imagine a parent even caring what toy a kid is playing with, unless they are hurting someone.
If a friend clicks a photo of me and uploads it to Google Photos, IMO, it's not okay for Google to use my face to train models without explicit permission from me.

That's a much more general point than the specific one at issue, which is the CEOs illegally conspiring to not hire staff from each other and terminating someone who refused to go along with the illegal conspiracy. This wasn't something the managers organically came up with.
This title has been misleadingly edited, removing a crucial word.

In the linked article, it states that the course will be available "in all official EU languages", which is indeed the case. The word "official" has been removed from the title, thus giving a very different indication of the actual set of languages in question.
They get close to that theory, but from a zoo animal angle as opposed to local animals.

"Add that to the fact that children frequently conceive of a vehicle as an enormous living creature—“It has lights and those look like eyes, so suddenly it’s got a face,” Toubes pointed out—and it’s almost no wonder that some kids look at garbage trucks like gigantic zoo animals visiting their home."
So why are kids often afraid of big angry dogs? Surely the parents will protect them against any threat from big animals?

Evopsych "just-so" stories are designed to explain a single fact or observation, so they may sound convincing until you look at the bigger picture.
They're not fast enough, and disks aren't free.

People don't have just a few bytes that they'd like to store content-addressed. We have, as a commons, about 3-4 PiB of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21752320data to store, at a minimum. This data cannot possibly live in one place, it cannot possibly be checked all at once, and it cannot possibly be enumerated or searched.

These all operate over the existing Internet, by the way. There are proposals like NDN [0] for doing something different from TCP/IP, but odds are good that we don't need NDN, we just need less bad content-addressable systems.

I suspect that we'll need either a compression revolution, or an ISP revolution, in order to get more speed. It doesn't seem like existing distributed systems can improve on their use of local CPUs much more.

>I pretty much never partied and spent my time studying at the library. I wouldn't have been able to usefully work on Rust without a lot of the PL theory that I learned at university

Did studying by yourself at the library really require being enrolled in a university though? I mean which part of this education is not indefinitely scalable? Pretty much only the personal attention of a professor. Did you require the personal attention of a professor to learn PLT? Somehow I don't think so.

>Before learning PLT I thought that the C type system was all anyone needed.

Using C for a while would've fixed that for you, too.
This list will help me with all the steps I need to consider now, later and in the future.

It's akin to "Wall St" back in the 2000s. Financial firms rarely were located on literal Wall St. Yet, the firms were referred to as such.
Wage fixing aside, doesn't it shock anyone to see them talking about people in this way? "the sourcer... will be terminated within the hour", "please make a public example of this termination"? You can almost hear them gloating about the crucifixion they're organising

Two wrongs don't make a right, and I make sure to disable all voice commands from my smartphone (which is admittedly useless if my device is compromised because I'd need a hardware killswitch, but it's a start). On the other hand those assistants' whole purpose is to work with voice controls, they're useless without them.

It's not completely different but it's far from completely the same in my opinion.

If a little downtime here and there doesn't matter, then either customers don't care about the product, or the company doesn't care about the customer. Ops's job is to keep customers happy by keeping the applications from going down; it's not like they think a dev can't set up a service in AWS themselves. But you're right, you don't need a dedicated ops person if a dev has the time and knowledge to maintain a service reliably.
The historically "correct" way to do it in English was just to default to masculine unless the person in question was known to be a woman. (Or unless the person was in a role that you just assumed was a woman, like a secretary.)

Which is one of the problems. You're using the third person pronoun to make assumptions about genders for some role. (And beyond that, you're assuming binary gender identities.)
You may not be quite as different as you think. Nerds often "wear" trendy frameworks and laptop stickers while patting themselves on the back for not caring about designer labels. In clothing and couture at least the superficiality is up front.
What made it more galling in this specific instance is that Peston and Kuenssberg didn't even use the usual weasel words of "A source told me..." -- they reported it as a fact: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ELYQnrMX0AEJ4-i?format=jpg&name=...

Is it really about memory access or disk loads?
When the other poster said "pointlessly excluding", I understood it to refer to examples such as the deep sea one, where there is an easy and straightforward way to design the page and allows it to fail gracefully. This design doesn't require more engineering effort. In fact, I'd say it's quite the contrary.

It's not a coincidence that this design also increases accessibility -- it encodes the most meaning.
