It’s like finding a spouse - you’ve got to date a little before deciding and also remember they’re also judging you - so perhaps asking yourself how can I be found is the right approach to take instead of sticking to your checklist like culture fit etc.
I think Dyson was misunderstood in his criticism of climate science - he admitted that he didn't study the science itself, but he was concerned about how the scientific culture in the field seemed to be working
think about the 2d equivalent - a ball rolls down a hill because the potential gradient directs it that way. a ball sitting on a flat pedestal isn't being pulled in every horizontal direction at once by some forces that are proportional to the height of the pedestal. it's not being pulled horizontally at all

there is zero space-time curvature within the sphere, it's "flat", so there's no force. nothing is "cancelled out", force is the derivative of energy with respect to space. it's like a 3d pedestal (or rather, a cylinder excavated from the earth with a flat bottom)
Exposing an application server to the internet is not a good idea. It is always better to have a simple proxy that has absolute minimum set of software installed on it and let it to handle the requests coming from internet and forward them to the application server. With this kind of deployment, your attack surface will be much less and you will be protected from the bugs described in the article.
Total was floating the idea of doing just this in Alberta a recently as the past decade. The science really seems to work but the idea of a small nuclear explosion in your backyard (on purpose is a hard sell (even for the relatively open-to-nuclear French!)

> it did not have the objective of an immediate near-term change in government or its policy

This is curious to me. It's pretty clear to me that Assange's disclosures have made significant impacts right from the start, which have only compounded considerably over time. This very trial is evidence of that fact.
> For example, become a hairdresser.

I didn't suggest that. I did suggest that he/she works for a hairdresser. (probably doing errands around).

> I wouldn't hire you if you looked homeless

Not for a customer facing job. For some businesses, that would destroy the business. That's why I suggest that he/she starts with jobs that do not care too much about your current status.

> Empathy is not a constrained resources.

I have a hard time giving empathy to someone who doesn't have it. By squatting other people property, you might be risking putting these people out of their homes (maybe they are looking to rent it and are paying a mortgage/loan).

Not all properties are hold by rich people and closed to make people on the streets. Some of these are by normal hardworking people and that's all they have (or maybe less if they are borrowing money).
I don't block ads but I do block all javascript by default. They are essentially synonymous now.
A few years ago, I asked Freeman Dyson what we should teach our children so there would be more Freeman Dyson's. He gave a surprising answer.

He said we should teach children to genetically "play" with plants. He thought we needed that kind of creativity as a human species if we would ever be able to populate the asteroid belt. He said that most of the surface area of the solar system is in the asteroid belt -- but the only way we could really live out there was if we could create warm blooded plants.
Virtually no email sent on the Internet is protected by DANE, DNSSEC, or TLSA. Nor is it likely ever to be, since the major email providers standardized MTA-STS specifically to avoid DNSSEC, as you can see from the opening paragraphs of the standard.
It makes sense to me that SPIR-V be a complete instruction set for an abstract GPU shader core. You can then have a GPU compiler translate to raw shader instructions. Much like a WASM compiler can translate from wasm to raw CPU instructions. I think an important design consideration in either case is "no surprises" meaning the translation should be fairly tight and predictable and serve just to smooth out some small surface area differences. If they do any funky magic/startling behavior the combined stack will start to exhibit weird performance properties
In an age where world wars could potentially start via Twitter and getting verified is the stamp of approval of being a political/celebrity/public figure, this is pretty wild.

The processors which are creating this flattening of the curve are for low-power, mobile or embedded use-cases where transistor density comes at a bigger cost. The more cores you add, the more overhead power consumption there is for switching.

It's hard to make out what Huffman is referring to in particular. I'm sure TikTok tracks user behaviour on its platform but I assume so does reddit when it sells ads on its platform. As far as we know tiktok does not appear to store American user data on Chinese servers.

Parasitic is definitely what I'd call a flat out inappropriate label in particular in the context of attacking a Chinese company without much evidence to back it up. I think Sandbergs comment highlights what the real problem here is

>Sheryl Sandberg had similar comments, noting that she was concerned about the fledging video app on NBC’s “Byers Market” podcast. “They’re huge, they’re growing really quickly, they’ve gotten to bigger numbers faster than we ever did,” Sandberg said.

Yeah, if you're making $70k and you could only get $40k elsewhere, you're probably going to work really really hard to not lose your job.
There are "commercial" boards, but they price by appointment only and probably cost 3-10x as much.

Here's an IO comparison

Udoo Bolt

* 1 sata 3 port

* 1 m.2 type B (2x PCIe 2 lanes)

* 1 NVME drive (over 4x PCIe 3 lanes)

* 1 eMMC 5 (32gb soldered -- a mistake IMO, but one could potentially solder on a different chip)

Rockchip rk3399 (raw specs)

* 1 eMMC 5.1

* 2 SD/MMC 4.5

* 4x PCIe 2.1 lanes

The Helios64 is stretching all their SATA across those 4x PCIe 2.1 lanes. The single m.2 type B on the udoo has that much bandwidth by itself (and the NVME has the equivalent of 8x additional PCIe 2 lanes). If you really wanted, you could probably find an adapter that could turn the NVME into PCIe and then into quite a few SATA lanes as that's basically all they're doing anyway with the helios.

If it costs 350 million people 1 cent to hand me 1 million dollars they don’t notice, yet that’s a net loss. Critically, even when you include those who benefit it’s still a loss.
Typically, you will look for a "Sales Engineer" role where you are involved in Sales process discussing detailed technical requirements with the prospects.
Yes, good point. On the other hand I wonder if there is any person who aged well who had been a couch potato their whole life. I've seen very old people who were no longer very active but had been very active throughout their life. They still had some light and slow walks on a daily basis !!

Movement helps with digestion is something I learned from firsthand experience. Due to a broken leg I was confined to a bed for nearly 2 months and remember bowel movements were extremely affected. Movement helps with arthritis,
helps the brain, helps the bones.

Also, the lymph system requires breathing and movement from the body's muscles to help move fluids and remove waste from the body.
Amazon/Microsoft TC, probably. Base salary is a different story.
It wasn't recently if you were willing to shell out the bucks.

Aonix, PTC, Aicas, IBM have been selling real time JVMs for embedded OSes and bare metal deployments for quite several years, before Azul came into the picture with their pause-less GC for multi-GB heaps (which still does minimal pauses anyway).

So recently is more the addition of Azul's ideas into Shenandoah, ZGC in OpenJDK, and Metronome in OpenJ9 as free beer GC for the Java community.

There needs to be a dialogue about a reasonable mechanism by which China can compensate the rest of the world for their losses. Many lives gone, billions disrupted, and trillions in wealth destroyed. It is fundamentally unfair for other countries to be saddled with the expense, and if China is permitted to externalize the costs of covid 19, chances are we’ll be back here for covid 20.

Yeah, the Embarcadero is already pretty pedestrian friendly and it's a rather essential thoroughfare that can't be easily bypassed.

In downtown-ish area? Presumably in and around Union Square somewhere. You already have a mini restaurant version in Belden Place. There's a lot of traffic through there but it was already being messed with by lots of construction for ages.
Another plausible view is that it never sneaks in. Nondeterminism would only lead to free will if the mind somehow controlled the nondeterministic outcomes. We know the brain can't do that, so it's clearly a metaphysical question if you want to go further (the mind would have to be an agent distinct from the brain.) The answer to a metaphysical question is not always "no," but you will never be able to prove it.
If you were using Go for those four years, you'd also see very little of the criticisms regularly leveled at Go. What you see on the internet is the union of everyone's complaints and frustrations. Each individual sees only some of those, maybe even none depending on the type of work they're doing. And the ones that are generally happy don't tend to post big rants, so the overall impression of an outsider can be pretty skewed.

This is the article Day 4. For a bit of context, from the article Day 1:

"in the courtroom itself, Julian Assange is confined at the back of the court behind a bulletproof glass screen. He made the point several times during proceedings that this makes it very difficult for him to see and hear the proceedings. The magistrate, Vanessa Baraitser, chose to interpret this with studied dishonesty as a problem caused by the very faint noise of demonstrators outside, as opposed to a problem caused by Assange being locked away from the court in a massive bulletproof glass box.

Now there is no reason at all for Assange to be in that box, designed to restrain extremely physically violent terrorists. He could sit, as a defendant at a hearing normally would, in the body of the court with his lawyers. But the cowardly and vicious Baraitser has refused repeated and persistent requests from the defence for Assange to be allowed to sit with his lawyers."

I remember one looking through the rule book for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG which had an interesting concept: players had a certain number of "plot points" (I forget exactly what they called them) which allowed them to overturn an unfortunate die roll. It was based on the idea that in the TV show, the main characters would often manage to get out of a tight spot through well-timed luck.
As a LastPass user, my main defense against the possibility of someone accessing my LastPass account is the fact that all of my important accounts have 2FA completely separate from LastPass.

Unfortunately I can't cheer you up except to say that I sympathize. I enjoy many different facets of programming but trying to understand modern web development makes me want to tear my hair out, it feels like it's almost designed as a "moat" where you have to specifically specialize in the area to understand best practices and why they exist.

I do enjoy JavaScript, and I've found much more happiness sticking to the absolute minimum for personal projects: vanilla JS or sometimes React + JSX without NPM.

I have a sister-in-law that I recently learned is making $275k in a tech job in Seattle. She has no college degree or formal training. She has just learned things on the job over the years. I was frankly astonished. That is more than double what I make as a senior software engineer 3 hours away in Portland.
Really cool to see you guys talking about your journey, hope to see you succeed.

I caught Posthog a bit early as it was trending on Git, and sent the repo link out to a few startup + dev groupchats on WhatsApp because I think it complements Metabase incredibly well. The combination of PostHog + Metabase lets you stand up a really powerful free BI and product analytics stack in a few seconds, and these are two areas I see so many early-stage startups faltering on. Not collecting product and usage/user data and using it to gain actionable insights.

Excited to continue following along from the sidelines to see what the future holds for you.

When the Iraqis set the Kuwait oil wells on fire as they left, it was predicted that they would burn for years and be a global environmental disaster. They were put out in six months. This was never celebrated. The news just moved on to something with more drama.

In the aftermath of the fires, the combination of ash and water used to put many of them out caused the desert to bloom like no one had seen in at least twenty years. This also was not widely promoted as some kind of good news.

When I was pursuing environmental studies, there was a cartoon in one of my textbooks depicting microbes giving off oxygen and some of the microbes protesting that they were destroying their environment and needed to stop. Microbes that off-gassed oxygen are how we got an oxygen atmosphere on earth.

One of my professors once said "We're like fleas on the butt of a dog trying to figure out which way the dog is going."

The truth is we don't really know as much as some people like to pretend we do and we do present stories in a biased fashion. The people who are convinced we are hurtling towards our doom generally don't want to have a rational discussion of the evidence. They are too busy trying to insist that our lives are in imminent danger and there's no time for rational discussion, we must do something to stop this.
My thoughts are to reform online education by teaching subject matter that is more relative to life, business and self. Such as Emotional behaviour, Financial management, Relationship building, etc.

Show HN: Startizer – Startup Incubation System (MVP v2 Made in Access)
Hello.

I have been working on this longer than it takes for some to get from idea to exit, so maybe I am the last person who should have been working on this, haha.

Anyway, I started working on a system to guide founders from idea to launch and early traction. The first MVP was made in Excel (took around 4 years), covering the whole shebang (and some other bits). I shared part of it Jan 2019, crickets, but it was not unexpected.

I then started working on MVP v2, this time in Access, finished October / November 2019. It does not feature all the steps, but rather, only the first few covering:

1. Idea Breakdown
2. Problem Research
3. Market Audit 1
4. Audience Disposition
5. Audience Outreach
6. Audience Interviews
7. Interview Results
8. Signals (ICP and Persona Generation)

Currently, I am working with a few founders, working on bottom of the funnel content for Startizer, and continuing targeted outreach one to one.

Once in a while, I will also be posting in more public places to see the response, get feedback, see what I can improve in Startizer and indeed any blind-spots I might have. Much to learn... always much to learn really.

So, anyway, please do check it out, comments, feedback, would be much appreciated. To finally reiterate, it's made in MS Access which makes it PC only: https://startizer.com/

Cheers, Ace.

Second sentence of the article is "I doubt Google will ever release a fix for this issue". We could argue about the semantics of "issue" vs "bug" (though I'd rather not), but it seems pretty obvious the author thinks of this as a fixable "issue", when the parent comment's point is that it absolutely isn't.
