Federal law only guarantees you can't lose your job for taking that amount of leave, it does not require employers to pay you for that time off.

>Would this diminish our view of his legacy, for him to come "down to earth"?

I doubt it. Consider how the greatest minds of the 20th century thought of him:

"I have known a great many intelligent people in my life. I knew Planck, von Laue and Heisenberg. Paul Dirac was my brother in law; Leo Szilard and Edward Teller have been among my closest friends; and Albert Einstein was a good friend, too. But none of them had a mind as quick and acute as Jansci [John] von Neumann. I have often remarked this in the presence of those men and no one ever disputed me."

— Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner

"You know, Herb, how much faster I am in thinking than you are. That is how much faster von Neumann is compared to me."

— Nobel Laureate Enrico Fermi to his former PhD student Herb Anderson.

"One of his remarkable abilities was his power of absolute recall. As far as I could tell, von Neumann was able on once reading a book or article to quote it back verbatim; moreover, he could do it years later without hesitation. He could also translate it at no diminution in speed from its original language into English. On one occasion I tested his ability by asking him to tell me how The Tale of Two Cities started. Whereupon, without any pause, he immediately began to recite the first chapter and continued until asked to stop after about ten or fifteen minutes."

— Herman Goldstine, mathematician and computer pioneer.

"I always thought Von Neumann’s brain indicated that he was from another species, an evolution beyond man."

— Nobel Laureate Hans A. Bethe.

In his final days, Neumann tragically lost his genius to brain cancer. His friend Edward Teller said this about it:

“I think that von Neumann suffered more when his mind would no longer function, than I have ever seen any human being suffer."

Gwern has a funny essay about cloning Von Neumann here: https://www.gwern.net/Embryo-selection#glue-robbers-sequenci...

As Neumann seemed to be god-like intelligent, highly personable, and very kind, if we were to clone any historical figure, he seems like a good bet!
That is awesome! :)
This is the best answer, but even if you didnt want to go through this trouble... just create a new repo in git, lock down svn and assume from that day on, if you need to see older history, go look in svn. Over time the need to look at svn for history will dwindle.
> > These "green thread" systems provide concurrency, but not parallelism.

> I'm not sure if these specific definitions of "concurrency" and "parallelism" are universal. I wasn't aware of them, at least.

To be clear, since GP didn't define them: concurrency simulates parallelism through context switching. Context switching itself encompasses both cooperative multitasking (gevent does this) and preemptive multitasking (modern operating system threads when they're sharing a CPU).

AFAIK it is universal, but close enough not to matter in most cases so people get lazy with their words.
I have a respiratory illness from air pollution, and never had problem with tire pollution created by electric vehicles. Even with LNG vehicles I feel somewhat better.

Tires may create big particulates, but they are easy to filter. The small molecules that I am sensitive to are extremely hard to filter from the air.
I'll take your off-topic a step further ;) A couple days ago on one of the NPR shows they interviewed a long-haul truck driver. At one point he said (paraphrasing), "If you bought physical goods, it was transported by truck."

Given the amount of consumption (of physical goods) that's a significant amount of tire wear.
> I couldn't give two craps about "conflating concepts".

Good for you. Next time maybe say it upfront when replying to a comment that has demonstrated a clear interest in not conflating the concepts and instead be annoyed about the thing that is actually annoying, not some tangent.
As with any statistical analysis based on a sample of the total population, there will be biases (as many have already noted). That being said, these results reflect what we’ve seen in the real world in places like Washington state, Italy, Iran, and even S. Korea. More to the point: these data underscore the importance of following the advice of public health officials.

It’s fine to have an intellectual discussion about the merits of the study, but let’s make sure that we keep our eye on the prize. Each of us has a responsibility to do our part in protecting our parents, friends, and coworkers.

TL;DR - This study suggests that many of us on HN will be fine no matter what. But it also demonstrates that, if left unchecked, it’s possible (if not probable) that many of us will be grieving the loss of someone we love. There’s no need to panic, and there’s no room for those who seek to be dismissive, flippant, or ignorant. Everyone will be fine if each of us focuses on doing the right thing.
Certainly. But even those can be routed so that the WR signal for a particular address also doubles as half of the AND input which causes a read from another range to always return zero, for example. (That's not an "undocumented opcode", of course, but it can be used maliciously). It's certainly not easy to do this kind of meaningful obfuscation though, especially between different blocks, since different blocks are usually in different clock domains, too.

Edit: sorry, my neurons got all jumbled and I was thinking of a far more general case, i.e. undocumented behaviour in general, not just undocumented instructions. Indeed, only a relatively small subset of all these transistors is relevant in terms of undocumented instructions specifically.
Okay.

What I gather from your comment is that you believe Sweden is superior to the US in the sense that culturally, they are not as enamored of the rat race and reinforce their preferences for a more balanced life with social policies funded by relatively high tax rates (when compared to the US).

Whereas in the US, we are more into “getting ahead” in our prime years and this is reinforced by our social and tax policy allowing Americans to keep more of their money and make decisions on their own that support the individual’s values.

My original comment was simply asking if anyone has as data that can show what the net income of an American vs a Swede after paying for the costs associated with raising a child. I made no value judgements there, simply wanted to source the data.

>I genuinely do not understand the spam of capital letters or the weird aggression about a trivial reality.

Then you better get with the program. Talking to people like the way you did won't make you any friends and will gain you many enemies. Don't worry though, I'm not that pissed off, just slightly miffed at your attitude. Also I like to use capital letters for emphasis. I guess you had a problem with that and decided to make it personal. Just a tip: don't act this way in real life, when you're older you'll understand.

>If you use Redlock to make a distributed lock over a Redis cluster and you allow two NodeJS fibers to acquire resources locks out of order by way of making asynchronous requests to it (noted only because you have a curious grip on that as being distinctive or meaningful here), you’ve still deadlocked and it is for all meaningful distinctions a deadlock of your processes (N >= 1).

Yeah because you're replacing your boolean in the earlier example with an isomorphic value. Either use a global js variable or a global value from redis. Same story. Nothing has changed from the locks you invented earlier.

Let me repeat my point. You shouldn't ever need to do the above in NodeJS because the area where the asyncio in python and NodeJS operate in are stateless web applications. That's why NodeJS doesn't have locks. You have to go out of your way to make it happen.

>There is no magic border at the edge of your process in which no, no, locks do not happen here. Locks control concurrency. When the problem set requires them, you use them.

And your point is? I don't understand your point. Clearly nothing I said was to the contrary.

Let's say your problem set is writing a database. Then locks makes sense. Does NodeJS make sense for this problem set? No. Do Locks make sense for NodeJS? No. Global mutable state is offloaded to external services and that is where the locks live. This is the trivial reality.

Let's stay on topic with reality. In what universe does your diamond dependency need a dependency injection framework with locks in nodejs? If you need locks your fibers are sharing global state and you've built it wrong.

b, c = await runAsync([B, () => C(await D())])

Git annotate is a fantastic tool, even if the developers aren't great contributors.

A lot of developers do not write good statements. They don't even link to a ticket. But you get to know those developers real quick when you're doing spelunking using annotate. And developers who don't write good commits probably didn't leave any other documentation behind of use.

I've used this to illuminate "technical debt" from a different perspective. If you take a critical code path, find the important commits for critical logic, and then just show the "context" you're left with, you'll often be able to say "this is why your quality sucks" in a real concrete way.

Managers love proof, and showing them what little context you have for critical areas can be a very different way of looking at the quality of their systems. Otherwise, I've often seen a LOT of overconfidence largely because "we have automation in place".
Unfortunately Chris works for Intel now so I don't think he'll be giving any more of these talks in the future. (At least until his NDA expires)
That is more or less what my US based health insurance plan is like, if a bit more expensive ($1200/month for me and my wife, $1500 if adding 1 child).

No deductible for in-network care, usually just some small copays of $20.

Is this supplemental insurance to national healthcare or the standard cost based on your income?
I have observed that most of the times, when I am not motivated to work, it is becasue my sub-concious mind is unable to correctly traverse the behavior tree and find a route from 'the non intuitive task' leading to the 'sexy results' I am after. My concious thinking mind has already done that.

But your sub-conscious brain being able to link the results with the efforts is not a precondition to start working. It only facilitated the process, and does not act as a deciding factor.
Agreed. The focus on the interior world (feeling) versus the exterior world (results) is one of the reasons recent generations have not innovated
Not talking about universal healthcare, a policy position held by both democratic socialists and social democrats?
They’re embarrassed.

They probably had some great general models where the dome would work anywhere and shoot down any kind of missile but time and money ran out, the code is a sprawling mess, it only works when the batteries are spaced in a very specific geographic configuration - probably Israel-shaped and can only shoot down the specific missiles their local enemies had a year ago.
Yall, let's be real.

Realizing your dream into reality will entail hundreds if not thousands of hours of suffering, in some form or another. It will cost you, there ain't nothing coming to just drop your dream lifestyle into your lap. Even if you have skin in the game, you will lose battles and you'll be forced to remember the war, you'll be tested boundlessly, endlessly.

That being said, whatever you are fixated on, that may be a good place to discover what direction to work in. If you dream of writing a groundbreaking video game, I can promise you that you'll spend a lot of time coding it all, but you must also consider your rent, your car note, your family, etc.

It ain't simple, but you CAN dream your dream. And if you feel, you SHOULD.
This is my rewrite of a chart I made about 10 years ago (using Protovis, the predecessor to D3), hence the old data. Back then there were no baby bullets on weekends!

If someone wants to collect the new data and send me a suggestion I’d be happy to update the chart.
There are several concerns that warrant good encryption.

Privacy for instance if you surf even with encrypted dns you still leak the sites you query (SNI). Depending in the traffic it can be known what kind of content you consume or even identify it explitly.

Also there is the case of broken encryption. We got our fair share of ssl/tls exploits. Also the traffic inside your network is mostly unsecured or can you issue certificates for your NAS? (yeah you can if you do it right but who does that?) Your media libraries or samba/nfs traffic is probably unencrypted. Got in home security cameras connected over wifi?

So yeah there are _plenty_ of reasons why you should have good security on your broadcast of your private data. Even if you got most of your lan in a VPN (which is a good practice tbh) your smart devices aren't probably in it.
It's not just might, I think something crazy like 80% of olive oil is adulterated. For whatever reason the olive oil industry has become the target of choice for Mediterranean crime syndicates.
My experience suggests that successful organisations need a good mixture of specialists and generalists to be successful – although "specialists" is maybe the wrong term, and it's more about having a team with a diverse set of skills in different areas.

It's beneficial to have individuals that have a broad understanding of how complex systems work without necessarily being able to develop all of the components in full themselves; there's equally a requirement for developers who are capable of understanding and implementing all the detailed intricacies of particular fields, like front-end or embedded code. The former are usually able to develop working solutions to a given problem, but they often end up being sub-optimal; the latter can often implement those solutions more effectively, but can struggle to effectively work with a broader system.

This idea is related to Cringely's military analogy about the different kinds of personalities and skillsets needed to build companies – the "commandos", the "infantry", and the "police". The "commandos" can move quickly to build creative or disruptive solutions to complex problems, but can leave unfinished tasks in their wake, and get bored easily. The "infantry" build on top of the work of the "commandos" – refining, improving, and professionalising. But they need more infrastructure, process, and understanding to do this, which can slow them down. And the "police" are there to manage the system when the speed of development slows down – the focus is on maintenance, economy of scale, and more-stable-if-less-exciting work.

It's all a bit of a thin metaphor to be sure, but I've definitely seen these and similar personalities in different companies, all offering different kinds of value. Nobody belongs exclusively to one group, in the same way that nobody is exclusively a generalist or specialist. But I've found that understanding how different personalities and "skill shapes" can contribute is important for building an effective and productive team.
"If you’re Google, it makes little sense to hire a generalist, I think."

I'm a Googler and a generalist. This is of course just my opinion.

In the two roles I've had, being a generalist is far better than being specialized: as a Product Manager and as a founder on a new project.

A big part of being a PM is being the connective tissue between specialist ICs and silo'd organizational structures. A joke is that we are 'failed engineers' but many of us just got equally interested in UX, entrepreneurship, and business strategy as code. We end up not being the expert in any of these. But we are pretty well qualified to coordinate among them. I.e. our strength is we're generalists. It's a bit like the nervous system that coordinates the heart and lungs and other specialist organs.

I'm now in a part of the company (Area 120) dedicated to funding new projects and businesses. The shape of the talent needs are very much like an external startup. We're headcount limited to 3-5 per project, so we really need people who can design and code, develop sales pipelines and do product management, "full stack" engineers and so forth. These people are super valuable where I am, because they are generalists.

I think anywhere entrepreneurial will need many generalists. I believe think Amazon has this culture too.

This also why I can create a lot more value in a company like this than if I was an individual contractor. I see comments on HN sometimes along the lines of "companies must be underpaying you, because if the value of your labor wasn't greater than your pay, they wouldn't make any profit." This is correct in a very narrow sense but missing the hugely important piece that the value I can produce embedded in a large organization is much, much greater than I can as a singleton (because I'm a generalist). As a rough example, maybe as a contractor I can create $100/hour worth of value and for the sake of argument can capture nearly all of that. Because whatever discrete task I'm hired for I'm Ok but not world class at it. But in a company like Google, I am leveraging huge assets and connecting them. If I identify opportunities and coordinate execution between (for example) specialist orgs like Search and Maps, the value I can create is massive because of the size of the levers. It's nearly unbounded but could easily be worth 1000s of dollars an hour. So if they pay me $200, everyone wins. The pie is grown, by being an embedded generalist, and I'm still doing better off than I would independently (even if my employer captures a bunch of the value I produced – which is fair, since they also provided the levers).
In Oslo, Norway the city builds a lot of bike lines . It narrowed streets for cars or removed parking places. I talked with a few folks with cars in the city and their typical response that it made them to get work faster with a car. Surely they have to walk more to a parking spot, but after that they drive faster through the city. Apparently street parking creates a lot of congestion.

A lot of my friends are children or grandchildren of Boomers and have been spending a lot of time lately asking and not answering the question of how they got like this, and so I’ve been trying to answer that for myself. Below is my barely half baked theory as it stands today.

After the War, there were kids everywhere. So, so many kids. They had to open schools. Whole industries about kids exploded into existence. But as one of those kids? There must have been ten other people wanting to be what you wanted to be and half of them were better at it than you could hope to be. That, my theory states, fucked them up badly.

When they had kids, they pressured us into being unique snowflakes, to be exceptional. It was too goddamned much pressure, and that fucked us up. So the next cohort started congratulating their kids for doing absolutely nothing at all. Which fucked them up worst of all.

So, like, we are very sorry, but we were just trying not to pass our neuroses down and ended up giving you different ones. Same as our parents.
I think I understand the motivations, but this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. You're already limiting it to "safe" packages, so why not use unattended-upgrades and take the human effort out completely? Or if you need to vet updates before pushing them out, use Pulp or something to control the rollout rather than a custom tool that you have to maintain in the face of edge cases. Heck, I'd probably take Ansible with a list of package versions over this setup.

Edit: Actually, let me slightly walk that back. The described system is probably a reasonable way to maintain a small number of pets. My objections are mostly based on the idea that you're dealing with more than a handful of servers.
True, reducing the cargo would require more trucks to carry the same load, increasing demand for truck drivers.

On the other hand, wouldn’t reducing the amount of cargo a single truck can carry makey individual truck driver less valuable?

The end result would probably depend on a lot of other factors, including the supply and demand curves for alternative forms of transportation (trains, boats, investment in autonomous solutions), as well as the supply and demand curves of the goods being transported (because if the cost goes up to pay for more truck drivers, maybe people will just stop buying that product).

There are many issues that go into making the stereotypical Millennial psyche. But I think an issue overlooked is the loss of context for your own life in your own community, which in my opinion has been brought on by the internet and media machines, overwork, and with the individualist movement pointing the spotlight squarely on yourself. We have disconnected and disenfranchised a generation from the community, then told them to compare themselves on the global stage of highest achievers, while their local avenues for community support get diluted into commercial ventures and shallow social media connections.

Couple that with the commercializing of pretty much everything that the sun bares down upon, such that nothing around you has much authenticity, which leads you to have bizarre situations like humans who think brands are their friends, and there being no non-commercial spaces to meet new people at. It's no wonder there are so many confused Millennials who don't really get how to fit into society anymore.
You have a good point about CC'ing too many people. And that care should be taken when including others in a discussion that could affect their reputation.

Thanks for pointing this out.
