This previously used the Docker Toolbox VirtualBox image to spin up WordPress development sites. This seems like a big change though, even skipping version numbers from 3 to 5. Anybody got any insight on what has changed or what it's using now?
Ask HN: Can you template social media marketing campaigns? If so, how?
I know that email marketing can be templated and automated. Is the same true for social media campaigns?
By templated I mean having an objective-specific skeleton and editing fields/parameters for re-use.
That was the icing on the cake. I went off to google "emotional labour" and still not sure I understand the point.

Might be way off track, but I think of some of this type of response or outrage-on-behalf-of-others as a form of busywork. If you are somewhat housed and somewhat fed, your basic needs are met, do you look for drama or a fight to win?
> nuclear energy

I beg your pardon?

> does not mean that momentum "is" energy by any interpretation

I never said that. You literally said "momentum has nothing to do with energy", and I gave you one example where they are directly related.

> can you transform a linear momentum into another kind of momentum

Yes, you can. This is exactly why I mentioned yo-yo.

> momentum is a vector and ... energy is a scalar and conserves as a scalar.

That's a good point, it's 100% correct and I'm not arguing with that. But I insist that saying that they are unrelated is still wrong.

Let's go back for a second to where we started. My claim was (and still is) that the only source of aerodynamic lift is the kinetic energy of the air molecules acting on the airfoil. There is just nothing else, after all. This is not conceptually different from how [solar] sail works. Now, in this specific case, the energy of particles acting on the air/solar foil is directly related to their momenta.

So, what are we actually arguing about?
Xeon Phi was supposed to power Aurora too, until it got delayed by 3 years and redesigned.
Did they remind you to define bool?
Yeah it is kind of worrying how hyped up the stock is because of the fantastic last 2 weeks. I 100% could understand "hype" investing in Tesla when it was under 350-400, since the brand is cool and they make a good product even if the fundamentals have always been shaky.

But everyone needs to know that $TSLA reaching today's levels is NOT due to people wanting to buy it, it's mostly short positions being "forcibly" covered.

But some people just seem to always invest after returns reach crazy high unsustainable returns, not before. I know a lot of people around me who went from penny stocks->crypto->weed stocks-> and now seem to talk about tsla a lot, never buying anything before it peaked.
I don't know if there's a name for them

[The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow v3.0 with Warehouse/Workshop Model](https://github.com/linpengcheng/PurefunctionPipelineDataflow)

It systematically simulates integrated circuit systems and large industrial production lines.

In the computer field, for the first time, it was realized that the unification of hardware engineering and software engineering on the logical model. It has been extended from `Lisp language-level code and data unification` to `system engineering-level software and hardware unification`.

It brings large industrial production theory and methods to software engineering. It incorporates IT industry into modern standardized large industrial production systems, This is an epoch-making innovative theory and method.

1. The replaceability, insertability, observability, and readability of the pipeline are very strong.

2. The observability, standard, fairness of the dataflow are very strong. Data standards (data interfaces, data specifications) are better than code interfaces. and non-IT practitioners can understand.

3. The warehouse/workshop model is widely adaptable, simple, and reliable, and the workshops are isolated from each other.

There are only five basic components:

1. Pipeline (pure function)

2. Branch

3. Reflow (feedback, whirlpool, recursion)

4. Shunt (concurrent, parallel)

5. Confluence.
It's weird how the keys are aligned vertically rather than staggered like other desktop and smartphone keyboards, though. I wonder how they came to that decision.
Historically small technology companies would IPO. Dell went public and was worth only $85 million in 1988. The last 10-15 years is an abnormality where tech companies wait a long time to IPO.

Slack is just team communication software, trading with a $12 billion market cap.

Shopify is just a modern remake of Viaweb handling site building and shopping carts, trading for $56 billion.

Snap is just a chat app trading with a $26 billion market cap.

Twitter is just a micro blogging service trading with a $26 billion market cap.

Zoom Video is just a video conferencing software company trading for $20 billion.

And so on. It's obviously a very good time for Asana to go public.
For Mao it was a ploy for power from the Lenin playbook.

As the PLAs and CCP old guards power grew he had to cut that down a bit via the red guards. It morphed a bit and there was infighting but it was a tool to wrest control from other factions.
Linux is swiss cheese. Back when I had access to Vupen via a shared account the commercial product exploits had an expiration date internally called EOL (End of Life) when disclosure occured. Interestingly the Linux exploits appeared to be perpetual until public disclusure. Some of them were available for over 3+ years. I always assumed it was because of some legal issues. Nobody owns Linux so there is nobody to answer to.
ZipCam | Multiple Positions | Full-Time | Remote (or Palo Alto) | www.zip.cam

ZipCam makes a smart, connected, automotive dashcam for driving safety. In the U.S., more than 37,000 lives per year are lost in automobile accidents. Worldwide, an unbelievable 1.25 million people die from car crashes annually. We don't need full L5 autonomous cars to save these lives: we can add computer vision and machine learning to existing vehicles, to save lives today.

ZipCam is seed-stage and well funded by angels. Multiple positions available, all full-time, either Onsite (Palo Alto) or Remote are OK:

* Midlevel or Senior Machine Learning Engineer. We do neural network analysis of driving video clips: lane-keeping, accident "near miss" detection, sign reading, stop light classification, stop line detection, other driving tasks. Also with a driver-facing camera: classification of various kinds of distraction (cell phone use, etc). You should have experience running accelerated ML models on video data. Experience with IoT is a plus. Experience with low-power (embedded) inference is a plus.

* Midlevel or Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer. We're looking for experience with video streaming, intermittent data connections, remote firmware updates, IoT security. Ambarella experience a plus... accelerated NN experience on Ambarella even better.

* Midlevel or Senior Full-stack (database + web) engineer. AWS (incl. Redshift) experience is a plus, security mindset is important. The scale of video data will be: 15TB/mo this year, 20x that in 3 years; please mention the scale of data you have handled before. For web: python on server (just a preference) + whatever client-side js framework you like.

Management experience is a plus for all of the above: we are a small, growing startup so it will be hands-on architecting & coding at the beginning; then hiring more folks.

Drop us a line to learn more about the product roadmap, it's exciting. This is a historic moment for real-world ML applications. Please send your resume + linkedin & github URLs to jobs - at - zip - dot - cam. Please include relevant publications or mention relevant projects you have done. Looking forward to speaking with you. In your email subject please mention "ML", "embedded", or "full stack" + " job".

P.S. We have free office pop-tarts.

If you use metrics to evaluate performance, expect EVERYTHING to be gamed around them.

My friend at Facebook says that everything is based on metrics. So people will ask others to give them a “thanks” in the Performance system for Mundane things like going to a meeting. Numbers of reviews that are commented on are also a metric, so people will +1 a review.

This happens everywhere, not just Facebook. Whatever metrics you employ will incentivize your employees to target those. If you value LOC then those will be targeted. If you value number of checkins, then those will be targeted. And that’s how it should be because that’s what you as a manager are defining to your employees is what is important and valued.

So if you do choose metrics then be aware that it will change the culture.

VoIP can be “backtracked”.

Takes a bit of effort, but the DOJ got providers to do it for the fake IRS/SSA/INS calls.

There’s a standardized process for it.

Might lead to a deader-end, but “it’s VoIP so we can’t do anything” is a cop-out.
I worry that adblocking ultimately hurts only the little sites. Google and Facebook have first party ads which could be made significantly more tricky to block. Or Google could use Chrome’s dominance to slowly switch over to a variation of Encrypted Media Extensions, which is impossible to interfere with.

Not a lawyer, but play one on TV, I mean have one on speed dial (cause he is a buddy, the reason he is on speed dial is cause I wanna know if he wants to go to the bar not cause I need label advice all the time. He half jokingly answers his phone from his friends “this conversation ain’t legal advice, what you want?”).

Tl;dr: Yes and no.

Under some recent cases it’s been determined that fair use is actually a right under copy right law (and thus should be considered before filing suit, but there is no harm if the filing party honestly believes there wasn’t fair use).

Under trademark it’s more a defensive against infringement. If it’s an obvious parody you should be fine (Mad engine “recently” lost a case against using the word “DAD” instead of “S” in the superman symbol as it was deemed not obv that it was a parody of the trademark [0]) but it’s a defense so if I was in such shoes I would be expecting some sort of “trouble” to be coming my way, even ifs it’s just a C&D, followed up with a conversation about it’s just a parody of Amazon.com so see if that would chill amazon’s lawyers down. But I would would be prepared to take it down unless I was prepared to drop the cash needed to defend such a case.

But I ain’t a lawyer, I ain’t your lawyer. Call a real trademark lawyer if you want more advice than what a 2 min IM conversation with one relayed via a third party can provide.

Conspiracy theorists will be out in force, but it's important to remind people that the State parties run the elections and their processes.

Edit: Seeing downvotes on this, but it's in support of tptacek's comment. The DNC and State democratic parties are separate and the latter run the elections. You might believe that the DNC is fixing the process, but the reality is that they have little influence in how the States choose to run their election/nomination processes.

In all honesty, the Iowa caucases are likely a huge pain in the ass for them and this failure is probably driving a lot of DNC folks crazy right now.

This is what clicked for me on microservices years back. That the language wasn’t important and if I couldn’t do it in python or C, someone else could in Go or Java or etc.

Compared to if I wrote something in house entirely in C... lolno
I got off the rollercoaster today. Hurt to do so after 4 years, and still regretting it a bit.

I really want to see TSLA a success as so much potential and cool disruptive tech to an industry that wants to keep us all in the dark ages.
You should copy the Dutch then. Their car+bike road designs are something else. Roundabouts included.
If you're okay with Google tracking libraries, why not just use Chrome instead?

Re: cooking -

What are you guys eating if you're not already cooking/eating leftovers 4+ nights a week? This is absolutely mind boggling to me... I eat out maybe 1-3 times per month, I don't think I would even want to go out more than that.

Are people actually eating out 3 or more times a week? I'm convinced that you aren't actually saving that much time vs cooking.
The thing is that it’s just not a browser making API calls. The wrapper is so that you have access to lower level APIs, like access to the filesystem. This gives the Electron app more power than a browser.

I've used CouchDB on and off for some years[1], although I've used SQL databases for longer. I've also used NoSQL databases ranging from MongoDB to Cassandra, Hadoop, BDB (and variants), DynomoDB, etc.

CouchDB (or any other NoSQL database) just isn't the best choice here. The application is literally tables of relational data with multiple simultaneous users which is pretty much the perfect use case for a SQL Database Server.

There are other ways to expect differences in velocity. A bit like the venturi effect in a pipe constriction, a constant flow rate will have to involve faster velocity when the area of flow reduces.

If you trace a line on the wing cross section between the stagnation point and the trailing edge you will see the upper surface restricts/squeezes the flow more than the lower surface. So with a constant flow rate, the upper velocity will be higher even without equal transit.

I think you’re missing professionalization. Writing mortgages would sound implausible, too, if each were the product of an artisan, but there is (effectively or actually) a company here, plausibly with an office, payroll, quarterly targets for on-target compensation, etc.

(This scam has unit economics strikingly similar to being a mortgage broker, with lower capita requirements, minus all the pesky compliance bits.)

Also note that a lot of the folks working for this economy don’t have high-quality access to the legitimate side of the software industry, because they live somewhere we don’t/can’t hire.

One of the best things we could do to drain the swamp is outcompeting Evil, Inc for some of their lynchpin specialists and managers.

That's just silly. The process has a lot of faults, but they're mostly around their inclusiveness. If anything, the fact that a bunch of people can visibly see the results of their respective caucuses, can report (e.g. tweet) on them real-time means that the ability to manipulate them is much, much harder.

Picture it, there's 100 people in a room who all have to move themselves around to their respective candidates and people count them and shout out the numbers.

All of the candidates are represented (they're reporting the numbers) and can hear the same numbers, all of the voters can hear them too.

It's messy, but it's probably one of the most difficult systems to "hack" in terms of real numbers since so many people know the results immediately.
In my observation (at a major research institution), some grad-level CS students lack an even more fundamental skill: touch typing.
Indeed, but it also doesn’t maintain locality of access nearly as well for young objects (the most commonly manipulated ones) and even older ones that survive.
It’s closer to 1 word per minute than per hour. A 120,000 word novel / 50 weeks / 40 hour weeks / 60 minute hours = 1 word per minute.

However that’s in terms of a finished product which typically has a lot removed or edited over time.

"The article says that the data is basically "per-user","

Given that this is a table of who is "online", I don't think that's per-user in the sense that you are inferring. I infer that it's not a whole bunch of little local data that doesn't interact, it's a big global table of who is online and not online, constantly being heavily read from and written to in real time. Consider from the perspective of Bob's Erlang process that he wants to go offline and notify all of his currently-online friends that is is going offline. Bob's Erlang process doesn't have that data. Bob's Erlang process is going to get it from the Big Table of Who's Online. That table is the problem; it can't be stored in Bob's Erlang process.

I was at least imagining that the table could be partitioned into pieces pretty trivially (first X bits of the hash), but with Erlang's design, that implies an IPC just to ask some server process to give me the PID of the chunk I need to talk to, which itself is going to bottleneck. (In practice we'd probably cheat and use a NIF to do that, but that amounts to an admission that Erlang can't do this, so....)

At smaller scales you could try to live update Bob's local information as it changes, but this breaks down in all sorts of ways at scales far smaller than Discord, scales much closer to "a single mid-sized company".

"Another could be storing the data in mnesia, BEAM's internal mutable in-memory DB."

I have used mnesia for loads literally a ten-thousandth as small as this, if that (I could probably tack two more zeros on there), and it breaks down. It is an absolutely ludicrous idea that mnesia could handle what Discord is doing here. Last I knew the official Erlang community consensus was basically that mnesia really shouldn't be used for anything serious; my experience backed that up.

I think a non-trivial part of the reason why Erlang hasn't taken off is that its community still seems to exist in 2003, where it's a really incredible unique language that solves huge problems that nobody else does. In 2003, it rather has a point. But a lot of things have learned from Erlang, and incorporated its lessons into newer designs, and moved on.

See my other comment for what other runtimes have Erlang's advantages, but I'd invite you just to consider what we seem to basically agree on here; Erlang would be wildly slower and require a lot more hardware than Rust, the Rust code probably wasn't that hard to write, ... and the Rust code is way more likely to be correct than the Erlang code, too. I mean, what more "catching up to Elixir's inherent concurrency advantages" in this context than "did a job Elixir couldn't possibly do" do you want?
Combine a few pieces of information like this and you get a decisively unique fingerprint.

Benefits I've seen people actually take lower pay to join:

Forced leave policies, especially during certain times of the year, everything goes lights off.

Casual dress code.

Flexible hours, especially in a city with heavy traffic. One company sets their work hours around when kids go/return from school.

Nap rooms. Or just let people doze off at their desks.

Childcare benefits at the office, so they don't have to worry about the kids being watched by a psychopath.

Paternity leave (I took about 3 months off at half the hours).

Office toys - pool table, bowling alley, PS4, warhammer 40k miniatures. Nobody touches them during work hours, but they're prestige items.

Open device budget for monitors, laptops, keyboards, mice, except Mac Pro.

Cover things that insurance normally doesn't - childbirth, wife's childbirth, death. The actual cost is minimal, but morale bonus is huge. If you have people doing dangerous jobs, life insurance is a major perk - a lot of poor people live day-to-day and would be happy just to know their families are safe without them around.

I cook most nights and frankly am starting to see the appeal of frequent dining out.

I cook for three and that's generally in the 10 minutes prep, 20-45 minutes cooking, 15+ minutes cleaning. And that's dinner. It adds up. Eating truly fast food takes 5-15 minutes.

If fast food were reliably better for you I think it would be a wash. Financially I used to order out in NYC and get two+ days meals out of a single Indian seamless order for $30 and no cooking time.

The compromise, I think, is cooking a meal 2x quantity and freezing half for a week, but then you get into some very tiresome food routines.
I'd like to introduce you to my friend, the state of Georgia, for the past 20 years. Only this year, by court order, are they reintroducing a paper trail. While you're correct that Iowa has a paper trail for their caucus, it's not a concept that is ubiquitous, and has severely damaged the integrity of elections in the US, and especially in the state of Georgia.
