Not only that, but the higher-level concept I took away is that, given the size of his features (~6k loc), it takes about 75 days to write a feature. Assuming those are workdays, that's 15 weeks, a little over a quarter. And, indeed, tech companies do seem to measure their process and projections in quarters, and everything tends to slip to the right a bit, on average.

Also, the code coverage numbers line up with other estimates I've seen: life-critical systems should have upwards of 95% code coverage. Standard project: 85-90% coverage.
For the title, it prompts, then for the description, it lets you either enter an editor of your choice.

The thing I like most about it in a little use today, though, is when it goes to create the PR, it lets you choose to create it directly, or open a 'preview' of the PR in the browser. This is nice for creating Draft PRs which you're still working on and should not yet be merged (since, right now, there's no way to create a PR then put it back into 'Draft' state).
i saw someone talking about a blackberry-style Android phone the other day with a square screen and people were going nuts for it, even as they were making fun of its huge size. I sort of want one myself, the ruggedness and battery life are an OK trade-off with size and weight.

We have not 'converged on the most useful design'. Equilibrium points are often just the lowest common denominator as a technology matures enough to become commodified. Then you start to see a variety of alternatives optimised for different use cases and market entry becomes more affordable to smaller players.
I think that unless a single form of AI is dictated for all vehicles, we can't safely make the assumption that autonomous vehicles will obey the same rules. Hell, we can't even get computer to obey the same rules now, either programmatically or at a physic level.
Wolves do not live where livestock live in Colorado.

There is very little overlap in area.

Also, cheap meat is not a good reason to eradicate a species from an ecosystem.
Clickspring's work on the Antikithra mechanism (and the Pateron exclusive Byzantine Sundial) is particularly interesting, because not all of the movements created by gears are circular or even. The input can be purely rotational, but the output is not.

For example on the Antikithra mechanism, it has to account for the procession of the moon's orbit which causes an uneven time to complete one orbit. To properly simulate this, a pin-and-slot system is combined with an offset pivot to turn the rotation of gears into a movement that lags behind and then speeds ahead, mirroring the actual orbital period.

I worded that poorly; the video does a better job of explaining it (within the first minute), and the rest of the video shows the gear train coming together

Yes, that's my point. It's too simplistic to say "well, the data fits in RAM", you have to add parallelism to make the workload tolerable. In the past, some people have done that using MapReduce or Spark, GNU parallel or just writing parallel code in their favorite language. But RAM by itself isn't the only limiting factor to whether a problem is solvable in a reasonable amount of time.

If that allows you to simplify your architecture so that stuff just runs on a single machine instead of needing to develop, debug and maintain a distributed solution, then you save much more money in engineer salaries than this.
If someone ever makes the creation process for this type of visualization accessible to the average university professor, it could blow the lid of the digital textbook market. Most digital textbooks I've seen are basically just putting the text and images on a web page, and maybe integrating multiple choice quizzes. That's seriously under-utilizing the medium. They need to be interactive, and encourage the student to ask questions and run mini experiments.

I'm aware this would be extremely difficult; maybe impossible.
So dumb, these are the people who literally created GitHub, show them the damn respect they deserve. `hub` (a tool I use to this day) is clearly the predecessor to this official CLI.

To put a point on the entitlement, ranching in the midwest is often synonymous with grazing for minimal cost, on federal land. That's basically a giant subsidy.

SO the true cost of meat SHOULD include erosion, pollution, and management of federal lands, antibiotic release into the water table, water use, and GHG emissions. But instead we pay most of those costs through taxes and have lower cost at the grocery store.

Browser sync seems like a really cool feature but the last time I tried to host my own version of the sync server from Mozilla I found the documentation to be sparse and the software ultimately non-functional.

Has anyone had any positive experiences with self-hosting the Firefox Sync Server?
> I should think they could get ahead of the curve...

What makes you think they haven't?

What you are describing is straightforward regulatory capture. Every previous industry that has gotten large enough for regulation of it to get public attention has done it. There is no reason to expect big tech to be any different.
To your first point, not even that alone.

People aren't paying (only) for stable and correct software. They actively seek out fancy UIs for example. I noticed that in a former company. We had the best algorithm and the most correct numbers (for what we were selling) but the customers didn't like them because they were lower (and more realistic) than some competitors' numbers. Also they had better and shinier UI, they won the market.
today, it would be bribes. Same method different "goods" passing around.
I'm sure in the average gift economy, people had a sense of value, and whether they were getting screwed over, too.

Graeber is an interesting guy, but he is also a Socialist with an agenda.
Ah, that makes sense. I've never seen that shortcut before, but the tap & brew pattern is more familiar.
> Brand is a proxy for the level of functionality delivered by that brand.

100% agreed.

> People didn't switch to GMail because it was a "cool" brand,

Less agreed on this. Brand is also a proxy for PR, marketing, and the general image of the company. Gmail had an awesome feature set - better than its competitors at the time, but also spread wildly by word of mouth. At that time, Google was an exciting company for most people (it still is by and large, but that's another discussion). Gmail's "invite-only" onboarding was done well and made it exclusive. FB did the same thing when they rolled out to one school at a time.

Ultimately, I think we're on the same page. People want good UX; they want a product/company that their friends recommend; they want something that just works.
You don't need to barter 1:1 every time. Of course you can track of what people owe you, roughly.

Maybe specific bartering gets more important with bigger societies, when it is not possible to keep track in one's brain anymore.

Way back before Sirius and XM merged, XM used to have a bunch of stations that were DJed by humans. I don't remember ever hearing repeated blocks of content on those. There were other channels that were DJed automatically, and those could get repetitive, but the channels with human DJs were always fresh.

Sadly, it appears they started firing the human DJs several years back -- see https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/02/10/will-firin... for an example.

In another recent HN thread, someone posted that due to the way emergency dialing is implemented in the cellular stack, dialing "911" will dial the local emergency number because "911", "112", etc. aren't treated as actual phone numbers, they just trigger the cellular network to bypass normal dialing sequence and connect you to the local emergency system.
Tried it, works.

Liability insurance and details like that would of played a bigger part. After all, panic spreads far quicker with better logistics and vectors than any virus ever will.
Rangeland sheep or cattle on public land is a pretty small percentage of total meat production.

What always gets my goat in particular is ranchers pay $1.35/head/month to graze their cattle on public land.

At that price, which is about 5% of the market rate to graze on private land, I don't feel like we the public owe the ranchers particularly much.
A bestiary of single-file implementations of programming languages
Agreed. I happen to have my old Moto X handy; I stuck it to my fridge to access OurGroceries, and it's still working fine at the ripe age of 7.

The 3A is nearly an inch taller than the original Moto X: https://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Motorola-Moto-X,Go...

As you say, that makes it awkward to use the phone one-handed. I'd definitely buy something more the Moto X size if it were otherwise equivalent.
Yeah, except Hadoop provides redundancy, easier backups, turnkey solutions for governance and compliance and easier scaling

I’m no fan of distributed systems that sit idle at 2% utilisation when a single node would do : BUT, reducing it down to “cost” and “does it fit in RAM” is way too reductive

I disagree. The problem is that the skills to get hired are very different than the skills to do the job.

I'm reminded of a thing I read about not too long ago--an organization trying to help those who had stumbled in life to get hired. They had a guy who seemed qualified but nobody would hire him. They tried asking a company to give him a practical test before an interview--then didn't hear back about the interview. A followup call revealed they had hired him on the spot based on the practical test.
There are other links between vision and schizophrenia - e.g. https://www.wired.com/2009/04/schizoillusion/ (although that may better be described as a link between visual processing and schizophrenia. vision -> visual processing is a fairly well accepted link however, so vision -> visual processing -> schizophrenia seems plausible enough to look at a bit more.)
Pretty cool that single boxes have > 10 terabytes of RAM.

I would definitely imagine that most workloads rarely need more than a few to a few hundred TB in memory, since you may have petabytes of data but you probably touch very little of it.
We don't have GitHub Enterprise Server support yet, but that's something we're planning to work on after gh is out of beta.
Last year we moved out of our old (large) home in Philadelphia, where I had stolen the back 1/3 of the separate garage to be my office. My commute was about 50 feet, but it was to a separate (physically, acoustically, psychically) building.

Now we live in a lovely but much smaller house where I still have an office, but it is inside the house. We've been here for 9 months so far, and we have still not really figured out the details of how I can still "go to work" the way I used back in Philadelphia. My wife only has to speak here, somewhere in the house, and I can hear her.

This may improve when some specific physical details are addressed, but I think they won't solve the whole problem, which is a psychological/emotional/relationship one: how to be in the same "space" as someone else but also make it clear that you're not available.
Nicely made. And as soon as the fan appeared my cpu fan started to spin like crazy. It felt real
> Possibly, though if we want to be pedantic "weighting" has shifted from merely meaning "increased in weight" to meaning "biased through manipulation"

Not sure what your point is here. Yes, that is the meaning that is being discussed. You understood it yourself. Grandparent understood it as well. What value do you feel bringing up this point brings to the debate?

> like a weak magnetic field acting on a magnetized coin

Probably not. The field will act through the other face of the coin as well. The coin is pulled towards the magnetic surface, but it doesn't alter the revolution of the coin. If the field is sufficiently weak to not pass through the coin then it wouldn't have any impact on the other side either.

The exception would possibly be mu metal or something else that prevents the magentic field from acting on one face entirely, in combination with a strong magnetic field, and I'm still going to lean towards "probably wouldn't work". It would still intermittently pull the entire coin towards the surface, it's not clear that it would counter the rotation of the coin itself.

> even a one surfaced approach is possible if you make use of carvings on the surface of the coin to get a favorable result from air resistence

No, because air resistance is acting on both sides of the coin at once. The air resistance is a constant A+B, not A,B,A,B.

> lastly you can even achieve it through density

No, this is the entire point of the article. The coin doesn't revolve around its geometric center, it revolves around its center of gravity. By changing the density of one side (balsa wood and lead, as I said) you change the center of gravity but the coin itself has the same rate of revolution.
I don't know if they're all rich. Ralph Lauren certainly is. But I tend to agree. There simply aren't that many ranchers. But there are millions of Coloradans—and visitors to Colorado, outdoor/nature tourism being a much larger business in CO than ranching—who favor reintroduction. If Yellowstone is any kind of guide, ecosystems would benefit. Wolves are all over the Northwoods of Wisconsin now, and the negative side effects are basically nil.
It doesn't - it's just the code on that PR, but you can also use a --preview flag on pr view to get render the body of the PR in your terminal. We may explore something around incorporating comments down the road as well.
The MWC was going to be attended by 100,000 people, 75% of them from Europe and the US, 10% from Asia-Pacific (excluding China) and 9% from the rest of the world. Only 6% of visitors were going to be from China, and less were expected much less due to the COVD-19.

Can any of them come infected by the COVD-19?

The probability is very low. Almost all of the participants will come from areas where the presence of the COVD-19 is nil or extremely low.

By comparison, a number of passengers equivalent to three times the MWC go through the airports of Atlanta or Los Angeles, two times pass through the airports of London, Paris or Amsterdam each day, and 1.5 times through Madrid and Barcelona each day. And none of them closed so far.

The basic hygiene measures (handwashing, not sneezing or coughing to the open) and common sense are more solid and effective.

If we follow the same line of thinking (we shouldn't), we would have to close all the airports tomorrow.

edit: typo
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

Your friendly conversations are about building a more inclusive environment. All else being equal, that results in a more diverse workforce.

Measuring inclusivity and fairness is hard, so coorporations instead optimize for a more measurable metric: demographic diversity. The easiest way to optimize that metric is discrimination. Coorporations, being optimization machines look for the most effcient way of optimizing the metric that is (broadly) legal, which still looks fairly discriminatory.
NeXTSTEP and the UI thereof are thoroughly abandoned. Apple doesn't sell it anymore, last I checked (hell, I don't even think Apple acknowledges its existence at all at this point, beyond the parts that it now calls "Cocoa"). While I wouldn't put it past Apple, actually suing someone over an open-source reimplementation would be - to put it as diplomatically as possible - a dick move of the highest degree.

Legally speaking, though (as a not-lawyer), I reckon it'd be contingent on however the Oracle v. Google war goes.
The reason you don't have a way to disable a background app on Android is because you don't have means to do so. Google could have made controls easily, but they give you automatic guarding instead, which you can't refuse.

What are Google's motives? Do they really care about their users, or do they simply want more control over user devices?

The answer is simple: do not buy foreign made network technology. That is difficult but the intra European market (if there is trust there) should be big enough for e.g. Ericsson to keep up their Network tech group
Better write off the entire thing while it has some market value.
For me the big difference is that a tablet is a good consumption device, while a laptop is a good production device. I have a Galaxy Tab 4 which is much better for me for reading, watching video, and playing (some) games than either my laptop or my phone. It's when I need to write, code, or research something that I reach for the laptop.

I dont understand why African nations dont gang up and get rid of ths whole free trade bullshit. This nonsense has given rise to so many unethical industries. Be it the charities that collect donated clothes and sell it in Africs devastating their local industries or these lending apps or the so called poverty tourism. I hope these countries can band together and get rid of this pludering behaviour.
It doesn't have to be formal. Everyone does this today, and keeps a kind of list of debts in their head. "Bob asked me to help him move this weekend, and I really don't want to, but he helped me move last year."

I think the vast majority of schizophrenics have relatively mild symptoms (just as most diseases have more sufferers of a mild version vs. more severe version) and their diagnosis is made primarily because they have a disease that makes it hard for them to be 100% self sufficient, and there needs to be a paper trail in place that documents this.

Although the majority of blind people have essentially 100% self sufficiency (maybe with some occasional help from family/friends on some edge cases) I suspect it is relatively easy for a congenitally blind person to get financial and other assistance in the US, since as a society we are fairly supportive of people with obvious congenital disabilities. I could therefore imagine that if there was mild schizophrenia in a congenitally blind person, there'd be far less incentive for the affected person or their family to establish a formal diagnosis to this effect.

I wonder if this could be a partial explanation for this surprising statistic (and the lack of evidence for severe schizophrenia could maybe just be due to inadequate sample sizes in the OP study to detect this smaller set of people.)
This is me and HN. I save so many articles to Pocket but only are ever fully read.
