Well she's sharp enough to realize it, it was fine to be honest. One of the problems is that full-time museum jobs tend to be in the middle of expensive cities.

It wasn't me just saying "you need to quit", it was "we have things we want to do with our lives and we can't do them if we're both working just to pay for housing in the middle of an expensive city". We knew we wanted kids ands definitely did _not_ want the kind of mortgage where it dictates what you can do with your life, and when you look at the cost of childcare, or imagine yourself saying "we'll I'd like to have a stab at starting my own business but with a $5000 a month mortgage payment it's just not practical", you realize that if you're not careful it's really easy to build a life for yourself where you _have_ to make tons of money.

I do all right, but I'm not in the extremely high income brackets a lot of people on this site seem to be in. So I got a remote job, we moved to the country, and we had a couple kids. The house is paid off (no rent, no mortgage - we emigrated too, which helped). There are definitely downsides but avoiding the housing debt trap has had a lot of upsides.

I'd like to see ten-year outcomes before claiming this. That said, it's also hard to control for different student backgrounds.
In my experience university housing is almost always more expensive than market rate, NYU and a few other places excluded. This was true even at my moderately sized southern United States school with no land pressure. They know living close to the university is valuable to students and they charge accordingly.
To those mentioning Facebook's income is only around ~$18b, they're sitting on ~$55b in cash and short-term investments.

If they had to, they could scrounge up the $9b.
And that makes a difference.

I'm not sure whether that makes it good or bad in this case, but mainstream activity is different from fringe activity, even if the thing done is the same.

Why would the later cause record streams to be slow? Snapshots in COW FS' aren't that terribly slow either, even if there is quite a few of them, which basically boils down to the same structure, really.

> We don't know that every fortune 500 company in the world and every government in the world won't step in and snatch up every auction that gets posted. By design, there's no way for us to stop them from doing that.

Absolutely! In addition, it serves to solve issues with the CA system. It democratizes ownership of the internet and makes it safer.
In college I only had one group project, which scandalized me but apparently lots of others found this normal. We had to fire UDP packets over the network and feed them to an MJPeG card. You got more points based on the quality of the video stream.

My very industrious teammate did 75% of the work (4 man team, I did 20%, if you are generous with the value of debugging). One of the things we/he tried was to just drop packets that arrived out of order rather than reorder them. Turned out the reordering logic was reducing framerates. So he ran some trials and looked at OOO traffic, and across the three or so routers between source and sink he never observed a single packet arriving out of order. So we just dropped them instead and got ourselves a few more frames per second.
Neutral exists separately from ground only because if there is some residual resistance in the line, there will be voltage on the neutral.

So you have a separate ground that normally sees no voltage at all.

You are correct, the neutral does not go through the breaker. It is usually wired inside the breaker panel though.

Some localities want the neutral and ground wired separately (to separate bus bars), with a single point connecting them, but most don't care and the neutral and ground are attached to the exact same place inside the breaker panel.

Electrically, the neutral and ground are at the same potential, assuming magic wires with zero resistance, but in the real world the wire does have resistance, especially if it was poorly installed, so they are not always at the same potential. There could also be capacitance in the line.
Hi HN!

I am Faik from Robomotion ( https://www.robomotion.io ). Robomotion is a low-code automation development platform inspired by Node-RED. It is a web-based and cloud-native Robotic Process Automation (RPA) platform deployed into your Kubernetes cluster. It is entirely written in Golang.

We help companies to automate their manual tasks. These tasks mostly involve data-intensive repeated work, dealing with multiple-systems either web or desktop applications. To do this you install a software robot (agent software) into your physical or virtual machine. Software robots can automate these tasks by mimicking the way humans interact with applications through user interfaces.

We have been working on this project for some time now. We are currently working on our Cloudbot implementation which will eliminate the need for a software robot installation. Cloudbots will be created on-demand on your Kubernetes cluster and deleted when its work is done. The other WIP feature is our plugin system, which will enable you to develop your own custom nodes. It is still in experimental phase but we plan to support 5 different programming languages (Golang, JS, Python, Java and .NET) for custom node creation.

We are very excited to share with you and we'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts.

Thanks,

- Faik
Personally I'm really excited about the potential of JPEG XS for wireless VR. Currently most of the high quality wireless setups require expensive, high-bandwidth solutions like WiGig in order to avoid the latency penalty of compressing the video stream. If JPEG XS can get those streams small enough to fit into a regular 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection, that would be a _huge_ deal for the affordability of wireless VR setups.

60Hz is the 'flicker fusion rate', meaning if you were changing the frequency of a flashing, stationary LED, ~60Hz would be the frequency where perception transitions from visibly flickering to apparently continuous. It's a lower threshold for refresh rate in the human eye. When you have complex refreshing images (a 2d computer screen rather than a point-like LED, diverse motion, depth, etc), you are likely to notice flickering (or tearing, jittering, non-smooth motion) if the refresh rate is near this minimum.
Check the github and the docs.

Funny reading this now, I literally just implemented something in 15min using C++/pybind11 (and operates on numpy arrays) that is an order of magnitude faster than when I used numpy operations.

The newer Thinkpads are garbage compared to the older ones. I own both an X200 and a T590.

* I wanted to install additional RAM in my T590, to bring it up to the 48 GB maximum. It is impossible to open this machine without a splitting lever/tool. I had to haul out to MicroCenter to pick up one of iFixit's tools just to take the bottom off.

* The USB-C port is a joke. Even with the USB-C firmware fixes, and even with the branded Thinkpad USB-C dock that was sold with the laptop, half the time the dock doesn't connect, connects but doesn't charge, charges but the Ethernet port doesn't work, it's completely unreliable and I can't believe it ever passed QA.

* The legendary hardware support for Thinkpads on Linux is basically gone. Neither the cellular modem, nor the fingerprint reader, nor the IR camera work in Linux and I'm quite cynical that I'll ever see them supported.

* The integrated graphics aren't strong enough to push multiple 4K screens, even for purely business/console purposes there is significant UI lag. Single-screen 4K on YouTube lags.

* The TrackPoint on the T590 is a pale imitation of the TrackPoint on the X200 and is practically unusable in comparison.

Not to mention the solid range of old features that have long been missing from the ThinkPad range - the old 7-row keyboards, the hardware LED status lights, the external swappable battery, the roll-cage that made the laptop feel like a tank.

It's not like there's anything better available on the market, though. It's just the lesser of evils. And yes I'm familiar with the X210 project and similar.

I got to know the nuances of the language by working with it for years and having to figure out why various things didn't work at different points, but it doesn't sound like that's your style.

This isn't comprehensive, but it's probably the most helpful deep-dive I've ever seen about some aspect of JavaScript. It's about the Event Loop, which is one of the biggest differences between JS and comparable languages like Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ

Contrary to what you might think, even though the event loop is in some sense "distinct from the language", it isn't simply an API. You can't really have JavaScript without the event loop; it exists in both the browser and in Node, and is the basis for most of the language's advantages.
Is that true or does it just seem that way?

Cars today are pretty reliable. Random other stuff seems pretty decent as long as you don't buy the absolute cheapest stuff around. I'm working on a solid wood desk with no nails or screws (it's called a "puzzle" desk because it fits together in a stable configuration without any connectors). I'm looking at a backpack, which I assume is nylon, and it seems pretty tough and has lasted through a few adventures. I'm looking at my metal-framed bookcase, which has fake-wood shelves but it still seems pretty sturdy.

There are certainly some things that seem worse. Furniture is probably worse overall, but that's because good wood is so much more scarce now. If you buy metal/glass furniture than it's fine. There are also some worrisome practices that are pretty widespread, like using plastic-threaded screw holes rather than metal; or just using really cheap metal that can be stripped or cross-threaded easily.

On balance, where are we? I have a feeling that we're basically better off. We remember the old stuff that lasts, and forget about the stuff that breaks (unless it's still celebrated/historical, like the Liberty Bell).

You're spot on that D is lacking a batteries-included IDE, but there are some good options available.

D in emacs works very well, but you'll have to put some work into it. Spacemacs (https://www.spacemacs.org/) makes the work a little easier, here's my .spacemacs file if anyone is interested https://gitlab.com/snippets/1942930

Using that .spacemacs file you should be able to launch a fully prepped for D! The only other dependencies are a D compiler and DCD (https://github.com/dlang-community/DCD) built and in your PATH. I'd be happy to answer any questions if something doesn't work.

Other IDEs with a languageserver implementation can make use of DLS https://github.com/d-language-server/dls. VSCode and sublime are two I've had good success with.. but I always end up back with emacs ;)

As for a debugger, you can debug any D program with GDB/LLDB (depending on if you compile with dmd/lcd). Then you can use any graphical debugger that uses gdb. Nemiver is my favorite, then there's a few web based ones that are nice: https://www.gdbgui.com/

In either case the company risks losing to a more focused company valuing meritocracy and contribution over either nepotism or seniority. And we see this happen when starts rise up to the top. But our current system gives a lot of protection to existing players, be it through regulatory capture or be it through more natural phenomena like brand recognition taking time to decay even in the face of numerous bad products (in the world of games, look at how many people are still looking forwards to TES6 despite the issues with FO76).

There is also some cases where valuing meritocracy is only the best option when employees are willing to leave, but many employees are very stuck to their existing jobs. This is why pay raises do not keep up with the price of new hires. Consider the case where the cost to hire a new employee goes up 6% year over year while the company raises go up 1% year over year, potentially losing out to even inflation. The reasoning is that the extra costs to hire the few people who leave to another company to capture the 5% difference is smaller than the 5% savings for each person who does not leave.

To some extent, unions help to balance out the issue where most people are not perfectly rational actors.

Halliburton uses a different scheme. Its assets are physically offshore, though there are R&D and depreciation shenanigans (buy out of American profits, depreciate against onshore expenses, and tax the production where it happens).

Facebook, on the other hand, claims most of its assets, which are principally intangible, live in Ireland. Its American sub is charged massive licensing fees by the Irish sub, thereby shifting away profits.

Legally speaking, apples and oranges.

Re bioinformatics /residues / lingo / life - bioinformatics is a catch all term for a set of loosely related tools being applied across the full field of disciplines. The early pioneers in bioinformatics (like Pevzner himself) were all physicists and electrical engineers who moved into the realm of biology. Your exact terminology is generally dependent on the specific problem you are solving and may be slightly different that the more general uses of the same words. Either way, I hope that if you are interested in the underlying topics that bioinformatics deals with, you won't let some issues in vernacular trip you up!

> Everything above that just makes switching and buffering needlessly expensive, SRAM was hella expensive back then. Still is today (in terms of silicon area).

Why does a larger MTU make switching more expensive?

And why does it effect buffering? Won't the internal buses and data buffers of networking chips be disconnected from the MTU? Surely they'll be buffering in much smaller chunks, maybe dictated by their SRAM/DRAM technology. Otherwise, when you consider the vast amount of 64B packets, buffering with 1500B granularity would be extremely expensive.
I am not saying there is more sexism towards men forever, but right now in the IT-industry.

I don't care about what happened 200-300 years ago, I care about what happens today. I have stopped listen to women complain in media about sexism because people never seem to give a shit when sexism strikes men. Just as people don't care about racism against whites. It's the same kind of shit ideology and I want to escalate that. Just read the responses to my post, many are claiming that there can't be any sexism against men or racism against white people. It's so unbelievably stupid it's hard to actually comprehend that these people actually are capable of being programmers. Most of them are probably white and men as well. Such self-hatred is just incredible to watch.

As you can see from the sources I pointed out, some of them even thinks it's a good thing. This disgusts me and makes me not care about sexism against women.

In your example, I think that the white is 100% right and he is correct in saying he's not racist. He isn't guilty of what other white people do. I completely disagree with your kind of thinking in other words.
