This casts an interesting light on my long-standing dislike for crosswalks: Everywhere else on the streets as a pedestrian, drivers will not expect me, therefore it is my, the pedestrian's, responsibility to stay safe. On crosswalks, it is the drivers' responsibility to stop to let me cross, whether they see me or not, which seems kind of unpredictable to me, and to children, too, I imagine.

As a pedestrian, I feel more comfortable assuming drivers' "get out of my way" mentality, because I cannot assume I was seen.

I imagine that at least some accidents happen in the shared windings of responsibilities between drivers and pedestrians that can grow into full-blown confusion - and accidents, where I'd rather prefer a simple, pessimistic solution for myself as a pedestrian.

I'm a senior-level JavaScript / React / front-end engineer with six years of experience developing complex web apps for startups. Over the past six years, I've contracted remotely all over the US and internationally with a variety of different clients, primarily focusing on new products for SaaS companies from prototype phase all the way through enterprise-level software.

I am currently looking for full- and part-time contracts with immediate availability.

Tray.io | London | Engineer Manager / Backend Engineer (Scala) / Product Manager / Program Manager | Full-time | Onsite | https://tray.io

Tray is a visual programming platform. It’s a low-code user experience that allows anyone* to build business logic that precisely defines how data flows through their organisation.

We’re a well-funded startup with a team in San Francisco and 100+ in our London Engineering HQ. We have secured a huge Series C in November this year, at over 8.5x the valuation of our Series A in March 2018; we’ve worked hard on creating a fantastic support layer for our technical teams and now we’re expanding. We’re small (approaching medium sized) and dynamic, very open to new ideas and the work you do now will have a big impact on shaping how we grow our team and our product.

We aim to pick the right tool for the job, and currently use: Typescript, React, Redux, GraphQL, and our toolchain includes Webpack and PostCSS. On the backend, our APIs are built in Scala, with Go and Java powering some of our custom services.

We are excited by people who want to constantly innovate; borrow from other industries, experiment with new tools and pool their knowledge with other solution seekers; people who have shipped entire projects with ownership and autonomy; people who take pride in what gets built, all the whilst balancing day-to-day pragmatism with building for the future.

I use Keepass. Like you said, I sync the encrypted storage file through an existing file sync service and use a keepass client on my phone. It's slightly clunkier than I imagine a well-built system designed for multiple devices would be, but it works fine.
I wish governments and society in general would make a serious commitment to space travel and colonization, not because of some sci-fi fantasy, but because many of the problems facing Earth are really only problems if we're stuck on this singular planet.

Overpopulation? The universe is nearly infinite and there will always be new frontiers to explore. Environmental destruction from mining and use of carbon as a fuel source? The universe is full of minerals and using fossil fuels in space doesn't really hurt anyone.

I don't know enough about the current status of space travel technology, but it doesn't seem farfetched to say that we could be mass-colonizing the moon and Mars by 2100 if serious percentages of GDP were put toward the project.

Ask HN: How to explain job gaps on the resume?
I'm interviewing with several companies for SDE roles and have a gap of > 12 months since my last job. Is this a career killer and a huge red flag for any hiring manager?

The real reason for a break was medical but then got out of hand given i had enough savings to support myself and sort of slacked for a while (like 3-4 months).

Now i feel completely healthy, refreshed, passionate and ready to rock again.
What is the best way to mitigate this issue when applying / interviewing?

Do you have any advices learned from previous experience or caveats i should be prepared for?

PS. My total work experience is 5+ yrs.

Brolgar R package helps turn plate-of-spaghetti plot to interesting-observations
For a first, all the visual style that got changed between the concept art and models shown in the pitch; especially since the devs then spent close to a year on this without communicating with their backers. And especially since they most likely used their improved graphics to secure the deal with Microsoft, instead on focusing their effort on fulfilling their promises on gameplay features, many which are missing from the current game.
A mixture of change of materials (some of those are clearly paintings done in acrylic that have been photographed then used for colour plates), and change in style - at the moment we're in a backlash against the use of multiple colours, as well as any kind of clashing. This would absolutely be laughed out of the office today: https://www.airporthistory.org/uploads/1/2/1/4/121407428/cdg... - because green and purple are high-contrast colours.
Thanks for the link. The fact that his employees agree with this instead of going the cern route proves my point.
If you mean the pseudo-code like quality that (sadly) remains a distinguishing feature, I completely agree.

Simplicity, as in terms of specifying the grammar though? Python's grammar is exceedingly gnarly by now and I'm pretty sure Go, Lua, Prolog, Smalltalk and pretty much every Wirth language are massively simpler, syntactically.
It's been a while but I remember having a lot of fun fighting hordes of cannon fodder enemies in Serious Sam series.
"Well, you don’t know that humans can’t survive indefinitely at 1/3 gee. I know that because no one knows that, so let’s not speculate on what the threshold gravity would be before we need to “become a different species” would be."

Yes, you are correct.

However, I think you'll agree that all evidence points in the direction that 1/3 earth gravity would be highly detrimental, somewhere along the scale that zero-gee appears to be...
Obviously you can get work done with it, I also can imagine that getting accustomed to a type and think about it approach while taking a breath might be worth the ability to preserve states. For me preserving states across devices/locations has been solved 10 years ago, though nowadays in extreme situations I just don't do any work if it's not my device. I won't enter any credentials on a device that's not mine or hasn't been in my physical control since being setup. I'd rather fly home. Nothing we do is that important.

For me a low latency is the single most important thing when using a computer. Having 1000hz input device rate on the mice, proper NVMe SSD and 144hz/240hz Display rate makes all the difference of a decent computer experience.

why care about the long-term existence of our species? certainly we should strive to leave a better world for our children, their children, and their children's children, but past a certain point it seems very abstract to me. even 10,000 years is about three times as long as the totality of recorded history. in 100,000 years, our genome may have diverged enough that whatever humans live at that point in the future wouldn't be the same species anyway. why should I, a sentient sack of meat living in the year 2020 care about these things? more to the point: why should I sacrifice improving the lives of any currently living beings for the sake of ones that may live in future millennia?

But at least, Oracle automatically converts the empty string into NULL, comparing with DynamoDB which would actually fail the query.

A lot of climate research is based entirely on experimenting with these climate models.

We have a lot of data measured at many points on Earth spanning many decades. The data clearly shows that our planet is warming up and that there is a strong correlation with greenhouse gasses. One can extrapolate from these data points with certain reliability.

What is hard is to take into account are tipping points (which is why the IPCC excludes them in their projections), such as the effects of methane release from warming tundra soil. As far as I understand, most known possible tipping points only make things worse, not better.

At this point the question is not if climate change is happening (there is near universal agreement on that among climatologists), but whether it will be bad, but manageable, it will be ugly, or life-threatening to mankind. In any of these cases, we have to act now.
Is this similar to GreenPlum?
I got into ham radio when I was 15, before that I was fascinated with CB radio, FRS/GMRS, DXing distant AM/FM stations, and radio scanning. I also played a lot of video games and texted nonstop, built and fixed PCs for my friends, played in the school band, cherished my first car, had girlfriends and breakups, like a normal kid.

I'm 28 now, and it's basically the reason for my career. So to "pay it forward," advocating for youth in ham radio has turned into my (very unpaid) side hustle. The current run of leading amateur radio organizations are aged, and more-or-less self serving the older demographic. I'm not sure if ham radio just was and always will be an old persons hobby, or if younger people can enjoy it too.

Right now I help run a ham radio club for youth (https://yarc.world/), with a 1300-member young hams discord server (https://discordapp.com/invite/E7GY7fR), as well as a youth advocacy organization named Youth on the Air (https://youthontheair.org) that will be running a summer camp for 30 young hams from North and South America at the Voice of America museum in Cincinnati, OH.
> There are many fundamental discoveries in computer science that are yet to be found.

That's a strange claim. It could be, but there are large evidences that we discover most of the fundamental things immediately up to the 80s, and then the other improvements are kinda really incremental, a program from 1970 is not alien today. Technology of computing progressed a lot more than CS itself, a computer of 1970 kinda is alien, and a toy.
Because of how outbreaks and pandemics normally progress. Essentially they run like a video game with horrible lag - you don't really see the results of what you do to contain them until one or more incubation periods for the disease have passed.

The first major action taken by the Chinese government was to quarantine Wuhan. Prior to that, people were traveling freely to other places for the lunar holiday. We're about to reach the end of the incubation period (by the 6th) for people who were infected prior to the quarantine being established.

That means if the quarantine of Wuhan contained the outbreak (it's looking less and less likely that it did) we should see some change in the rate of infection in China. That's going to be difficult because of the Chinese government.

The flip side of the incubation period ending is that after that point, all new cases should be from people traveling who infected other people. So far, almost all the people who are in quarantine world wide were physically in Wuhan.

We don't know yet how many people who have been infected by travelers there are because we haven't hit the end of the post-quarantine incubation period.

At present, there could be people all over the world who are infected, don't have symptoms or only mild symptoms, are contagious and spreading the disease, and who won't be discovered as carriers for another week.

This week is going to be telling... we may suddenly see a massive uptick in infected outside China (and outside quarantines elsewhere), and if we do it's likely that it's too late to contain the virus, all we can do is limit its spread somewhat and treat the infected.. world wide.

If it's really out of containment, given its apparent level of contagiousness it's likely that eventually a significant percentage of all humans alive right now will catch it, and that 2-3% of those people will die - quite possibly a lot more since the numbers of infected are going to overwhelm health care systems worldwide... too many people won't get treated even in western countries. In the third world, in places where people are packed together in slums and large cities, it'll be far worse.

For your consideration, if the virus only spreads through China and India, and if e.g. 20% of the people become infected, that means something like 13.6 million people could die, and the rest of us will be dealing with the impact to health care systems, reduced food production, lost wages, reduced military strength and attendant weaknesses in defense, and a host of other problems.

So... this virus is rather concerning, not because it kills lots of people (although it can) but because we likely can't control it, and even the number of people it will kill is far too many, and the rest of us are going to be dealing with the consequences for years.

Look at this interview with Cornelius Lanczos: https://youtu.be/avSHHi9QCjA?t=141

At the linked timestamp he talks about how he doesn't like the split of "pure" and "applied" math and how it's a very new concept of the 20th century.
But is does imply that implementing specific policies to counteract what specific models predict might not be the best idea.

Mars still has some useful properties when compared to Luna or asteroid. It mostly relates to having quite a low gravity, but still having a thin atmosphere. We really don't have anything else suitable with these properties in reach (Earth has high gravity, Venus is effectively hell).

The atmosphere is very thin, yet should be enough to get rid of most micrometeorites (a possible isue on lunar surface). Also thanks to the atmosphere, you can do various orbital maneuvers (aero-capture, aaero.breaking, aero assisted plane changes, etc.) that are not possible on a body without atmosphere. IT even makes some very specific aircraft designs work. Also with an atmosphere, you get less insane temperatures, you can mine it for CO2 for fuel and other uses.

All in all, Mars is a frozen desert, but still a very useful frozen dessert providing many benefits in comparison to a barren rock floating in space.
