I do not believe even "ARM developers" use ARM-based desktops.
Already the premiss goes wrong with "The human brain is a fascinating machine."

The human brain is not a machine and we have not been able to outperform its capacity by any means. I'm hopeful we are not on any intelligence plateau. Resources and knowledge prior to Google et. al. have been restricted to a happy few. We are propelling innovation forward at an accelerated pace and it is an awesome time to be a live. Lets stop with the limits questions and lets break more and more and even more barriers other people have thought to be impossible.
One thing requests still has going for it is that it’s used under the covers by a lot of client libraries with a dynamic import, allowing you to pass in a session object to control things like connection pooling and custom headers.

I do look forward to httpx becoming the new “standard” though. Tom is a great developer, and his ecosystem of tools are going to have a really big impact in python web dev over the coming years.
Yah-- Epstein did something nice for Hawking -- unknown if before or after the conviction-- therefore one can reasonably expect that Hawking knew Epstein was raping underage girls on his island and that Hawking participated. /s
I'd also argue that property taxes are a regressive form of wealth tax. For the average homeowner with a mortgage, they are taxed on an amount largely tied to the size of the mortgage and not their wealth. Also, most homeowner's primary source of net worth is equity in their homes, so they are effectively taxed on an amount exceeding their net worth.

Look at the following two individuals. Both live in $1MM homes with 1% property tax rates.

Individual A:
- $200k equity in house
- No other assets/savings
- $10K property tax/year

Individual B:
- $200k equity in house
- $50MM stock portfolio
- $10K property tax/year

A is paying 5% of their net worth in 'wealth' taxes, while B is paying 0.02% of their net worth in 'wealth' taxes. This is clearly absurd and should be fixed.
My first day in undergrad, I made one of those friends you hang out with for the first month or so before inevitably drifting apart to different social circles. His dad happened to have (really expensive) tickets through work to see Rush in our city the next month on the Clockwork Angels tour but couldn't use them. I'd never been to a concert before at that point.

Holy crap! That show changed and enhanced what I appreciated in music so much. It's still easily the most technically impressive show I've seen. I don't listen to Rush as much as I used to but I think about them and that concert often.
Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and this slavery of wages must go down with the other.
I'm not sure how it is in other countries, but if you look at the rental market in the US, it is fairly common to see the basement rented out as an entirely seperate unit.
"I found out later our accountant had dementia, and did all our taxes wrong"

Holy shit. I can't even imagine if that happens to my business. But really, you always want a second set of eyes to review your taxes, always. Even if you are not the expert, never trust the accountant. I always manually verify the drafts myself even if I don't quite understand everything on it. But I have a high level idea of the important line items. I have caught errors by my CPA (without dementia). So always verify yourself before taxes are filed.
Holy shit. I've been listening to Rush since I was 5 years old and I always thought of these guys as immortal. Just.. wow. RIP to one of the most talented drummers and songwriters of all time.
It turns out money and power are standard features of attraction to women generally.
Twitch did that since they preferred to use code over environment configuration. They could have achieved similar results using the GOGC environment variable but didn't want too; They even said so in there post.
ZFS doesn't work this way. The free blocks in the ZFS pool are available to all datasets (filesystems). The datasets themselves don't take up any space up front until you add data to them. Snapshots don't take up any space initially. They only take up space when the original dataset is modified, and altered blocks are moved onto a "deadlist". Since the modification allocates new blocks, if the pool runs out of space it will simply return ENOSPC at some point. There's no possibility of over-provisioning.

ZFS has quotas and reservations. The former is a maximum allocation for a dataset. The latter is a minimum guaranteed allocation. Neither actually allocate blocks from the pool. These don't relate in any comparable way to how LVM works. They are just numbers to check when allocating blocks.
No, we don't. But we do want companies firing employees for personal morality issues which have bearing on their ability to their job.

Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
Trying to answer my own question, I'd say Digital Ocean's paid documentation and whatever SEO they're doing that gets those documents highly placed in Google results might qualify as benevolent PR.

Each place is different in its own way, so replace America for whatever and this will be true. If you think "America" is less corrupt than the rest of the world I'll have to disagree.

A lot of corruption in the rest of the world serves the American government interest of the interest of American corporations. America "is in it" as much as everybody else.

Like, to be blunt, Americans are snorting most of the cocaine from Latin America and having sex with most of the children in Thailand. That doesn't mean those children will wrap themselves in American flags or shoot guns after being fucked, but if you follow the money the trail ends in America and no one is doing anything to stop this. People get killed and raped in the trafficking and cocaine business all the time and I would call that pretty corrupt.
Why isn't "integrity" on the list?
I've used MS Money and their "cash flow forecast" for just this style of budgeting for close to 20 years now. The software was discontinued 5 years ago. No app since has had as good a cash flow forecast. I admit it's a crutch at this point. So I'm going to have to build my own replacement.
That’s right, it hasn’t. Just as almost every other candidate in the NIST competition. However, none of the currently employed public key crypto systems has even been proven to be secure against standard computers and they can definitely be broken by a (powerful) quantum computer. So I would still favor taking a scheme that most likely is secure against quantum computing over one that can definitely be broken by it, especially if their performance does not differ too much anymore.
You're going to have to put the (many) pieces together yourself. The people who would normally be responsible for doing this (the media, the government) are the same people working to suppress the story. And yes, there is plenty of evidence for this (Amy Robach hot mic, Acosta's "intelligence owns him" quote, destroyed video tapes, the plea deal Epstein got...),
MIT is not one person. The report details exactly who knew what, when. According to the report, the President of the institute (Reif) did not know until the reporting linking MIT with Epstein.
Same here man. I remember exactly the scene when I first heard them - Subdivisions it was. On a music video, on VH1, 1992. Spent the next decade and more listening to absolutely everything they did and would do.

Happy to say I saw them in concert for their 30th anniversary tour, and another time on my birthday where they played the entirety of Moving Pictures. To this day, there hasn't been a concert experience like either of those days.
Interesting, it would great to extend the idea to maths. They say 'you dont understand math you get used to it'. And it does feel the same internalizing complex physical knowledge. One morning you wake up and some concept is commited to subconscious.

Very strange.

Amen to that. An Acorn Electron was what got me hooked on computers and programming. The Amiga was a giant leap forward and dominated my life as well, during the same period of my life.
I guess I'm just not a nostalgic type of person, so I never bothered to make it run again. One of these days I'll have to go up to the attic of my mother's house to see if it is still collecting dust.
> People like the author are unwilling to see how focusing on the "truth" of trite, inconsequential "facts" like whether Trump's inauguration was the biggest ever is pointless when compared to issues that really affect people.

I expect an administration to be truthful in both important and trivial matters. If they lie about trivial ones, folks at the time knew they’d lie about important ones (see attack last week, child separation, etc)
No aggrieved parties stepped forward. And you can make whatever "cases" you want, but if no one was "aggrieved" you don't really have a case.

>> you could make the case that your career was
>> harmed because she's sleeping with the head of Google X

Funny how otherwise "progressive" people automatically assume that the only reason women would sleep with their boss is to advance their careers. The romantic component doesn't factor into it at all.

Thankfully, simply making a case is not enough under US law. You have to prove it as well. Best I can tell Rosenberg did not experience any meteoric career rise. Nor would there be any way to accomplish that without drawing attention: Sergey is not in charge of promotions, committees are.

In fact, as an ex-Googler, I'm not sure Sergey was in charge of _anything_ at Google for the past 15 years. He had his hobby projects, but he was as checked out as a founder can really be. He's literally probably there for the dating pool. :-)
This sounds like the plot of Michael Crichton's next thriller.
How to Learn How to Surf [video]
Snapshots are one thing ZFS is fast at. All the blocks for a given snapshot are placed on a "deadlist". Snapshot deletion is essentially just returning this list of blocks back to the free pool. A terabyte snapshot will take a short while (in the background) to recycle those blocks. But the deletion itself is near instantaneous.
Yes.. great advice. They're all fixed now, thankfully, but yes that lesson was a painful one.
I'll admit the Hawking part was poorly worded. I didn't intend to specifically point the finger at him. However Mark Newman's own descriptions of spending days on this Island, eating breakfast with Epstein and all of his guests. Well I'm very suspect.
This is the same Ben Horowitz who defended illegal option price fixing and other ethically dubious behavior in his last book. I'll probably get penalized for this, but achieving success is not equivalent to being a role model.

There is nothing that needs to be squared. People are responsible for the predictable consequences of their actions. We hold women and men equally accountable when their having sex produces a child.

The fact that women, by virtue of their right to control their own bodies, can abort a baby before it is born, doesn’t change the analysis for either. Both are still responsible for a baby that is born. The fact that the woman has additional options to avoid the consequence doesn’t absolve the man of responsibility (both to provide financial support and to be a father). Women may have many reasons for not aborting a baby. (Maybe they even believe it’s morally wrong!) But if you take action that predictably may result in an outcome, you don’t get off the hook because someone else had the power to avert the outcome at a later stage and chose not to. Both people are responsible.
Right, but at the same time what Carmack considers quality code may well be considered low quality by non-game devs because it's too complex, too magical, not documented enough or whatever. Context matters; some code is one game developers beauty; while it's some other developers nightmare.

I'm not a game developer, but I've worked with enough game developers to realize they have a completely different mindset and point of view from mine. It doesn't make them wrong, and it doesn't make me wrong either, it's just that – different points of view, different contexts, different constraints. I have immense respect for game developers.

I'll play Battlefield 1 or Horizon Zero Dawn and marvel that they can get a stable 60 or 30 FPS despite seemingly infinite complexity, all the while I'm struggling to filter a grid with 250 rows in a web browser...

You're absolutely right – no one knows better where to sacrifice quality (whatever that means) for dev time or performance, than game devs.
occam's razor says you're wrong.
Accidentally deleting video of not one but two separate events along with the backups of that video seems pretty far fetched, but how often are they asked to recover video from hours ealier? Maybe the buffer period is just way too short and it is incompetence?

Stable for each major and minor release is still a vast step up on Linux.

Having a stable ABI for two years is vastly easier to support than an ABI which changes every two weeks. This is reflected by the number of binary modules which are packaged for FreeBSD in the ports tree, and provided by third-party vendors. This stability makes it possible to properly support for a reasonable timeframe, and vendors are doing so.

I've handled a decent volume of small tech startup m&a and I've never seen an escrow. Better advice is for the sellers to spend a decent amount of time in person with the buyers. Get to know who you are dealing with. It's a lot easier for a buyer to mislead (intentionally or otherwise) via email as opposed to in person lunches and dinners.

Like many commenters here Rush defined so much of my teen years. Songs like Subdivisions, Limelight, both written by Peart, captured much of what I saw in my life. So sad to see Peart gone but the Rolling Stone article outlines how much sadness he had in his life. May he find some peace in the afterlife.

Not sure why this is downvoted. One of the criteria when the term "open source" was decided on by the people who went to form the OSI was that it must not have (much) documented earlier use in order to become eligible for trademark protection.

It was always meant to be a trademark, even if they ended up losing that particular battle. It was deemed to descriptive and generic to be trademarkable, IIRC. The OSI published their criteria anyway, enforced it as much as they could, and really publicized the term over the years. Of course they get to define it.

This [1] seems to be the "head pointer", and I assume it would conflict when merging. In fact, would it not conflict on every merge even if unrelated code was changed, since it hashes on the value of the entire codebase?

Edit: After thinking some more, it wouldn't conflict on a file-level, since the file itself has a different name. But there would be now two files in the _head folder, and I assume the `ucm` tool would detect that and present the user with merging options?

There were definitely young women around when Hawking was there. I don't know if they were underage, but it I don't think it's safe to say Hawking knew nothing. By all accounts the island was full of girls and decorated with photographs of nude photos of them (some underage).

You can see Hawking surrounded by women on the island here:

Ask HN: Team Hire
Hi HN-ers, throwaway account.

So I work for this startup in Germany, pretty toxic environment, and while the company has some huge upside, I just think it's not worth it to hang in there. I feel for the founders but some of the people they hired are really pieces of s*.

Now for me it wouldn't be any problem to just quit. But I would really like to continue working with a few people I work with.(2 other guys)

Are there any companies/job boards where you can apply as a group in Europe or remote?

We have a lot of experience and as a group we probably delivered to millions if not hundred of millions of customers throughout the years.

I was more addressing the habit of colonial power structures to use violence and intimidation to push women and minorities out of positions of economic prosperity.

"Violence and intimidation" in a modern context is exactly what #MeToo was about, so it didn't stop just because women have equal rights under the law. Frankly, a lot of women don't want to put up with that kind of crap and so choose careers in industries where they feel safe (which often pay way less).

Reif's e-mail [1] indicates he was forced into administrative leave, and that the leave was not Lloyd's decision.

> The actions of a senior faculty member have raised new concerns. In keeping with MIT practice on faculty discipline, I have asked his department head to consider any appropriate action. In the meantime, in consultation with the provost, dean and department head, I have placed him on leave.

Also I think administrative leave is different from other types of leave, which are all also different from sabbatical.

> If the mother has a right to decide against the burden of a child, the father should as well (all things being equal).

This is your false premise. Nothing about fairness requires the law to give someone additional rights to offset someone else’s intrinsic advantages. Neither men nor women have a “legal right to decide against the burden of a child.” If either has a child, they’re on the hook for it. The law doesn’t need to give men an additional legal right to “make up” for the fact that women can terminate a pregnancy by exercising their natural right to control their own pregnancies.
