Remember you may be able to claim an exemption on your $5m estate but you need to pay the taxes and electric bill and it’s hard to do that when up to 75% of anything you make beyond minimum wage is garnished (I don’t think any state even allows this much but maybe). To be fair some states only allow up to 25%. And some states you cannot garnish at all, you can only levy bank accounts

Fat and air float. Muscle and bone sink. Your overall buoyancy depends on your particular combination of lung capacity, fat, muscle, and bone. Also, fresh water is not as dense as salt water, so it is more difficult to float in.

Decomposition produces a variety of gases that increase buoyancy.

In addition to the public-health issues of heart attacks and car accidents, the time-swaps are also a huge PITA for parents of young children. Kids between half a year and three years old have sleep routines that don't shift just because someone says the clocks have changed.

Fall back an hour? Congrats, your wake-up time just went from 5:30 AM to 4:30 AM because that's when your kid's still getting up. Spring forward an hour? OK, you just lost an hour from that shining window between when your kid goes to sleep and your own bedtime when you can actually get other stuff done.

The only clear error was this sentence:

> However, Levandowski, had disputed the ruling.

The second comma is unneeded. It’s not a comma splice though.

There are some really long sentences with awkward commas, but I believe they’re grammatically correct. It would just be better to break them into multiple sentences.
“ However, Levandowski personally filed today for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, stating that the presumptive $179M debt quite exceeds his assets, which he estimates at somewhere between $50M and $100M.”

I’m not an English expert, but I am a native speaker. Although the above sentence is understandable, when you look at it closer the sentence structure is a bit wonky. Anecdotally, I don’t like starting a sentence with “However,”, and this article has that twice. I think it is that kind of style where the author is making a statement and then forcing you to hold it in memory, so to speak, is what the commenter is referring to. It gets mentally taxing to keep track of all of the threads.
I'm a native English speaker and I don't see any problems.
I'm halfway through reading this and, and so far, the main argument I'm seeing amounts to this: the use of visual art and attention to design is increasing. Making use of artistry in your products or caring about attractive design is infantilization, since kids also happen to potentially find the art and design nice looking because it's known that kids like pictures and color (and adults should like something else?). He mentions that making things less offputting to use is infantilization.

Does this apply to cars as well? Does adding design elements and any sort of color for reasons other than making it more aerodynamic or road safe equate to infantilization? Does using an automatic over a manual? Does using an auto-starting engine over a wind up engine? Does using a car over your own two legs?

I also find the argument that flat design is childish bizarre. I hate flat design, but it's not any more or less childish than what preceded it. Things can actually be more abstract with heavy reliance on text-only elements and icons without immediately apparent meaning, but the author seems to think that's infantilization, and what preceded was also meant for children, and absolutely anything other than what the status quo was in some undefined point in time is too infantilized.

It seems more that the author has a resistance to change, and framed it as everything new being too immature.

This is the thing I've never really understood about the common objections to merging and resolving conflicts in larger projects. Sometimes people talk as if that happens all the time and it's not scalable if you have hundreds or thousands of developers all working on some huge code base. But how do you even get hundreds or thousands of developers working on the same huge code base so they keep getting in each other's way? Where is the modularity and coordination?

It always sounds like this happens at a hellish organisation where some Agile consultant once came in and said not to bother with boring stuff like management or software architecture. These must be strange places to work, because reportedly they also need to be prepared for requirements to change significantly every 27 seconds, and not being able to deploy changes in minutes is an existential threat even though the new feature has barely finished running the automated test suite and doesn't yet have any kind of user documentation, knowledge among the sales and support teams, etc.

Personally I do find rebasing and squashing to be very useful in workflows that involve Git, but there are plenty of effective ways to run a project and use a source control tool that don't rely on a 100% linear history with GitHub-style pull requests for change management.

The 6% Savings Account
Earlier today this happened: One of my employers strategic partners is a national telecom and cellular provider. You probably have their service. Just happens to not be t-mobile in this case.

Anyway we were working on a project regarding turning down some MPLS circuits at a data center we are exiting and one of the engineers from this telecom asked us to submit further updates and status changes to a personal yahoo email address of his.

I’m still waiting on a response from our account manager if this is standard and expressing concern.

The director of my business unit was apoplectic when I showed him.

This will be an interesting conversation.
My snarky version of this is: ideally head of master is deployable (no regressions, yadda yadda). In reality, how many times has head master of master been broken and one had to rollback, and then had to scramble to find the rollback?

Gitflow is fine - better to use it (w/the girl extension) than spend time arguing branches.
> As it is, I see the preponderance of arguments on the side of it being regular employment without the expected benefits.

Let's evaluate this for a moment.

Suppose the people driving for Uber could get a job somewhere else as an employee. In this case they willingly chose the driving job with e.g. more flexible hours over the other job with employment status, so why are we second guessing their choice and trying to take it away?

Now suppose the other job isn't available to them. Job prospects for unskilled workers are pretty bad, so it's either Uber or unemployment. Then it's the same thing -- they'd rather drive for Uber as a contractor than be unemployed, so why should we take that option away from them?

The theory behind forcing them to be employees is that it's "better" for them. If they're employees they get employee benefits. But then they can't work part time anymore, because if the company is going to pay full time benefits then they're going to want full time hours. Flexible hours go away too, because if they're forced to pay benefits they can use them to attract people who don't need flexible hours and no longer have to accommodate people who do.

Then the benefits cost money, but the company's margins are pretty thin so the only place to get the money is by making rides more expensive. That hurts all the working class people who have to pay more for rides, but it also lowers demand for rides. Lower demand, fewer drivers.

So a lot of the existing drivers, and specifically the most vulnerable of them who can't find another job or need the flexible schedule, lose their jobs.

They might be better off if we don't "help" them like this.

It would be cool to read the magnetic field of the cores directly. The first problem is you'd essentially destroy the core stack disassembling it to get at the planes and expose the cores. The second problem is the cores are sub-millimeter sized, so you'd need a fairly high resolution probe. I think a typical Hall effect sensor would be too big, and a magnetic-force microscopy probe would be too small. But if anyone knows of a probe that work work, please let me know.

Gitkraken is easy as pie to use and does everything you are mentioning.. not sure why people are so obsessed with command line stuff for version control.

Also anything like visual studio / vscode you have 99% of what you normally do right in the UI.

I'd be interested in knowing what core memory computers are still in use, if it's not secret.
Really tempted to run some through an AI upscaler.
Giving memory back to the OS is usually a pessimization; especially so, if the program runs more than one thread, on more than one core. Therefore, not giving it all back is not a failing, but an optimization.

In a self driving world of well behaved traffic, police and highway patrol are going to need some way to maintain their jobs.
I expect you're right about keeping the driver around but napping. The robot can do the highway parts, and then wake up the human for the much more challenging parts, from highway exit to pulling up properly in the right loading bay.

And then I think the next step after that is to have local humans meet the trucks right off the highway, sort of like how pilot boats meet cargo ships and guide them into port. The truck cab stays empty for most of the run, and drivers get to sleep in their beds each night.
Currently extensions either request access for a hardcoded list of websites, or it can request access for all websites. I really want the ability to install an extension for a particular website of _my_ choosing.

You can ask, but likely maintaining a large number of partners in the LLC structure is creating headaches (or is just a nuisance) since you're no longer around.

Unless you think there's an imminent payday and he's trying to claw back some of your equity at a below-market rate (doubtful), do them the favor of accepting the offer.

Actually—my mind just took a trippy turn on this—

At an abstract level, this stuff is still derived from works done by humans.

I can't process this (at the meta level), ha ha.

Basically, the universal question, but where does art begin, and where does it end. This is in essence, taking something already abstract (I'm assuming) created at the hands of expressionists, and turning it back into something—random—

AGGGGGHHHH I can't process it!!!! ha ha
>I don't understand why this is so complicated. If someone works for you, they are an employee. If someone works with you, they are a contractor.

Well, no, it's not that simple.

For one, how many employees at your company could stop coming in tomorrow, and then six months from now go back to work like nothing happened?

Being able to work whenever you want seems like a clear differentiator from real employees. There's no requirement from Uber for you to actually work.
The problem is no one is saying not to get in to these industries. In fact quite often there are posts on forums and even on HN stating how you should become a truck driver or coal miner because it pays well and doesn't require education.

Look.

After a certain point, software engineering becomes less about handling raw data structures, or coming up with some whizbang new algo and devolves to a matter of A)plumbing and B)bridging the gap between what everyone thinks the machine is doing vs. what it really is.

I keep around my old CS textbooks. Why? Because I know they have valuable details on algorithms and such in them. Those have been sorted out, are good things to refresh every now and again, and are important in terms of knowing in which circumstances they should be applied; but don't ask someone to play the part of a compiler. Also, all that pales in comparison to the importance of actually being able to cobble together, understand, and reason through systems, and to explain the "why"s of different implementations.

I also don't believe anyone should come out of an interview empty handed, which happens more often than not with places that fall back on "lets see how they do on brain teasers!" I do my best to shift interviewers towards actually talking problems they're having or things they think they'll have problems with to get a feel for whether I might be able to immediately help them or not.

I don't find that the traditional whiteboarding exercise is helpful, especially when I tend not to do my best work until I have time to reflect on a problem without it being the spotlight of a social interaction.

All that being said, I'm not sure there is much that will change about it in the long run. So, I just try to get practice when I can.

I wonder how this is going to change the tweet prediction markets. I’ve spent a significant amount of time on my tweet count models and have finally reached the point of 5% weekly returns and it would be a real shame if this fleets thing becomes popular among certain people (rdt, aoc, etc)! You spend months making a model and then when it finally starts generating real stable cash flows, you get sent back to square one. Such is the nature of zero-sum games though..
Don't forget teaching them how to swim on their backs.

>> At HelloFresh we run hundreds of microservices that do everything from supply chain management and handling payments to saving customer preferences. Running microservices at scale is not without its own challenges and many companies are beginning to experience the pain of complexity.

At this point i really believe that software architects who don't code, don't belong to this industry. If the implementers and operators are suffering, there should be a feedback channel.

Except with 1 major twist. The longest most and used stretches could be automated while the "last mile" could use a human. Best of both worlds.
From another non-lawyer perspective, might it be different since there is money involved? I view it as potentially infringing on some people’s livelihoods.

Again, just spitballing. I have no idea what the reality of the situation is.
Depends on how fast it happens. Long-haul trucking is the most easily automated driving, and it has the strongest financial incentive. The lifespan of a semi truck is ~15 years, while the career of a trucker will be 40 years. Even if 2/3rds of truckers retire before automation hurts them, that still would leave us with more than a million long-term unemployed.
I’m impressed by what you guys have built at Platform.sh and not surprised to see you chime in here. Incidentally, I applied for your open PM role back in January and was rejected (algorithmically?

Thanks for clarifying that; I was actually aware of the link to syntactic sugar and it's probably true that you want to control that independently. After all, who doesn't want to hijack unary minus for the purpose of as hackneyed rendering of EBNF? C++ certainly does it :)

Anyway a serious answer to your comment would be to create a field or ring concept. This would unify some or all of the arithmetic operations.

A neat bonus would be the ability to overload the one and zero literals for the set. So in field of nxn matrices on real numbers 0 is the zero matrix and 1 is the identity.
I am not too happy with the phrasing "Outside of a company there are two types of meetings; 1) When you want something from someone, 2) When they need something from you."

I like to think about my meetings as "1)Am I building a relationship? or 2) Is this a transaction?" If it is 1, then I would invest more of my time into this. I do not want to spend a lot of time in building a relationship with my plumber, even though I do want something from them.

I believe the author was thinking the meeting as a relationship building while the founder was treating as a transaction and hence the disconnect.

OK, I understand what you're saying. OpenAPI can be used for what you're describing. I just don't really understand the false dichotomy between validation and parsing.

> Isn't that what the develop branch in Git Flow is for? Your project might need some additional steps as part of its release process, and those can take place using the corresponding release branch, but the idea is that you can start a new release off develop whenever you want.

In gitflow, “develop” is master. The master branch serves no real purpose.

The intent of “master is always deplorable” is really that every commit, on every branch is deployable.

To me, this is the whole point of CI. Commits need to be restructured in such a way that everything works incrementally, otherwise you’re asking for trouble — how do you even bisect problems?
