Regarding Zoom
I think the question is what do you do with the wealth after you build it. Having your entire wealth constantly invested is making it a cog that works to make other ppl richer.
You're totally right, I could have worded that differently. I actually posted an infinite field extension that is algebraic elsewhere in this thread, but usually those are tricky and I haven't seen them pop up as often as finite algebraic extensions
Some of our changes are bigger if they touch several systems. You have to have very good knowledge of each system to make an assessment of the impact of the change. And nobody has time to really look into this. You don’t get much credit for code review on the scrum board.
In order to make the calculation 'correctly', don't forget to price in the correct amount of risk. As an example, say there is a 0.2% chance in any given year of your house catching fire, either through your own fault or from a neighboring property on fire. If there is a 50% chance of you being able to rescue the money in such a situation, then that is an estimated 0.1% loss in any given year. There is also a similarly priceable risk for theft etc, which would probably increase with the amount stored. If it becomes known that there is 500k in cash stored in your house, there are probably plenty of people greedy or desperate enough to break in with heavy tooling when you're out and steal the whole safe.
Automatic Text Summarization
You could try Selenium IDE, it might require running an older version of FF and you might need to export your sheets data to CSV first.

Or you might even be able to just automate the whole process using the IDE and the steps you laid out in your question.
Looks like it's working now?
Wouldn't something like Rust meet your performance concerns?
Vertica lost its lead a long time ago. There are better columnstore data warehouses like MemSQL and Clickhouse, and most people are just moving to the cloud with Redshift, BigQuery and Snowflake.

Druid doesn't really compete with these systems but is more of an addition if you need low-latency queries against defined and fully-indexed fields along with pre-aggregation (the source of its performance). It also has a lot more operational complexity with very basic SQL support.

As of 2020, I don't see much of a use for Druid since columnstores already support real-time updates and are adding indexing, aggregation pipelines and concurrency scaling.
Just because you use VS Code doesn't mean your have to use Github, Team or Azure.
I get that these dumb acquisition blog-posts are practically lifted from a template and hardly mean anything, but please don't tell me that your goal is to "to help as many people as we can stay dry and safe" in practically the same breath that you announce you are killing the app on the world's most popular mobile platform.
Apple acquires popular weather app Dark Sky and will shut down the Android app
Back pain causes and symptoms, treatment
Also, granting a website access to my camera, granting access to my microphone, and so on; which are really not functions I want to be granting any websites. I don't run a browser to have it randomly turn on surveillance devices. I prefer to run an app to access my camera and quit it when I'm done.
I'm in the same boat with my 2019 ridgeline. To me, this is the best of both worlds. Most days, I don't even have to look at the touchscreen much less interact with it.
I stopped using Dark Sky long ago... as it has always been inaccurate.
For context, the inflation goal set by the Swedish national bank is 2%. That's what they're aiming for, so clearly it's not "really really serious". CNBC also states that:

>The Fed considers a 2% inflation rate to be a sign of sustainable growth and a level that keeps interest rates high enough to allow for mobility in the event of an economic downturn.
There are three redundant methods to lower the landing gear on my aircraft, depending on whether you still have hydraulic ability available or not. It is not unique. One is a big, fat lever that will not go away with a hypothetical touchscreen option, since we pilots tend to like physical backups for flight-critical systems like that (though I’m curious what pc86 is flying upthread, since even the G1000 aircraft I’ve flown have usually had airspeed dials).

It is even totally possible to gravity drop landing gear on nearly all commercial airliners, I would expect, though I can only speak on the types I’ve rated on. I don’t see you asking “what happens if the landing gear lever fails?” which is actually a totally reasonable question, and one manufacturers have thought of. Touchscreens aren’t magic devices, they’re just another type of input to build redundancy behind.

It sounds like a horrible idea because you probably haven’t flown an aircraft and don’t know this. That isn’t an indictment of you, just a request to not judge so soon. I like the idea of screens that adjust to phase of flight so what I need is where I need it, because pilot workload is a real problem that automation has addressed for decades.
People still hate microsoft? I thought we were all supposed to hate google now and they are a contributor of this project.
Or you can just firewall the box?
I'm not sure I agree. Most of the US public lands are actively managed, and even the lesser-touched 'Wilderness Areas' are still highly influenced by the surrounding human communities.

The continuing 100+ year old debate around the Forest Service's wildfire policy is one example of how these relationships aren't as natural as we believe on first look.
> If you're trying to say, lower the landing gear, and the button malfunctions

If you're trying to lower the landing gear, and the button malfunctions, you use the gravity gear extension handle, which is a completely independent system. You can also land without the landing gear in the worst case.

> What if the glass breaks and the capacitive layer fails? Or the software running the screen crashes? [...]

You use the other screen, which is controlled by the other computer. There are also knobs to switch which computer controls each screen. In the worst case, there are the standby instruments.

Airplanes have a lot of redundancy.
Hard agree on ‘that’s what compiler writers think they’re doing.’ I don’t even think the concept of C being the ISA for some abstract machine is a bad concept. However, and I think it gets to the heart of your point, the compiler writers only do this or adopt this attitude when it allows them to hand wave. There isn’t the consistency that should be present in an abstract machine implementation.

Now that I’ve rambled, I may make the most of this Stay-at-Home situation and write something up using the C as abstract machine concept.
No but the OS could have fixed a bug or tightened the spec.

I have evidence in other domains, as per my example.

But thanks for moving the goalpost. /salute/

OP asked for an explanation, I gave one. Was it correct? I don't know, I just provide reasoning skills.
That makes a case for non-centrally-manipulated assets like gold or crypto
But it's not really cause its using parts of vscode on the backend to even function, so it really seems like their just trying to make it seem like more than it is, which is their cloud-editor project.
Great points.

BUT - touch screens can be used if people are trained, the layout is rational, the device is responsive.

There are two underlying things:

1) Tactile. As you spelled out.

2) Changing interfaces. This is the real killer. 100 screens, don't know what's what, supposed to be driving.

These UIs need some thinking but I suggest that the 'knobs and buttons' can possibly be mapped to different functions depending on.
I don't have a study to back it up, just my empirical observations over the past 12 years, but I'm kind of convinced that hiring engineers almost randomly (let's say they can speak clearly and write a fizzbuzz) would have almost the same outcome as designing and implementing these complicated and convoluted hiring processes.

I have yet to work with the mythical "really really bad engineer that completely screw up your project and does it in such a stealthy way that you don't even fire them before it's too late".
I recommend to combine i3lock with xss-lock to get automatic screen locking on suspend:

xss-lock --transfer-sleep-lock -- i3lock --nofork
Holy cow, is Recursive Cactus me? Lol I can totally relate. And I believe a lot of people on cscareerquestions subreddit and people at Leetcode forum can relate. 100%? Accurate.

Also, just to give a context of the hiring bar these days. The FAANG companies coding question is no longer on Easy even on phone interview. Expect at minimum 2 Medium difficulty questions in a phone interview that need to be able to be solved in optimal space time complexity in under 45 mins (or more precisely, under 20 mins each because if the first question is not solvable under 20 mins then they will skip that and you already failed).

So for those FAANG engineers that were able to get in early, whether by acquihire, by diversity hire, by luck, by normal hire. Stay there as long as you can especially in today’s times. Because once you quit you’ll experience a rude awakening for getting right back in, unless those companies waive you in because you’ve been in before.

And yea, I’m talking for both fresh graduates as well. There are instances where a fresh graduate get 4 out of 5 hard leetcode questions in an onsite. Yea, its that crazy.

I'm strictly speaking from personal experience and by reading subreddit cscareerquestions and Leetcode forum on people's experiences.

So at this point, a lot of people (including me) already solved hundreds of Leetcode questions, and still got rejected. So this is now a luck of the draw game, apply to those companies every year (because once you get rejected then you are not allowed to apply within a year), one day you will get your lucky strike.

One way to maximize your luck if you really want to get in, assuming that you are not lucky, not part of diversity hire, not part of acquihire:
- internship
- contract work

Damn I have to EDIT so many times lol. But due to this Leetcode style training that a lot of us are going through, we literally have less time to learn anything else, for example, learning new libraries, new frameworks. I personally think learning new frameworks or libraries are kinda dumb because it is easy to pick up on the job anyway, but nevertheless when you want to look for a job you need these on your resume. Say you only know REST but now companies want gRPC and Protobuf then you gotta learn those on the side. Assuming that you are a normal working person with hobbies, families, responsibilities, activities on the side you need to pick your choices carefully.

So this has an interesting result. The more you prepare for FAANG and doing Leetcode style questions, the less time you prepare for mid-tier companies and the lesser the chance you will get a better offer from them. So you have to go ALL IN one way, can't go half ass one way or the other.
In airplanes touchscreens are less of an issue than in cars. In cars you have to have a hand on the wheel 99% of the time, and your gaze on the road. You can't afford interaction with a complicated non-haptic touch screen menu.

In airplanes it's different. Here, outside of takeoff and landing, it's OK to look at a screen for 10 seconds while interacting with it with a hand.
I wonder if they ever used their barometer data. After announcing collection of barometric pressure from devices years ago, there was never an update.

FWIW I do this on Android in the US, expanding to iOS and internationally soon:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allclearwe...

Am I the only one doing barometric pressure data research on Android now? Maybe IBM does it, it's also hard to say.

The areas of research that Dark Sky did not follow through with are disappointing. They seemed very focused on making math-statistics estimates of forecasts and never doing the real hard science.

Maybe Apple will pick up the slack.
Ask HN: How often do your projects miss deadline
I just missed another deadline on a project. I think over the course of a ten year career this has happened basically EVERY single project I've been on. I am feeling particularly bad about it right now so I want to ask the general hacking public: how does this compare with your experience? Are your projects usually delivered on time neatly wrapped in a bow, or like me are they usually late.
Interesting that they just unilaterally state that your data is now subject to Apple's privacy policy.

Checking the policy in effect before the acquisition[1], it seems they disclosed the possibility of transferring data to an acquirer.

Do you mean I am wrong that standard users won't notice ssh broken?

You're right, my statement may have been too strong.

We do know that Catalina isn't broken for everyone though as alluded to by others in this thread. No one in my company or anyone I personally know with a MacBook has been affected. There must be another interaction happening.
This is asking for a lot, but maybe this crisis will help Americans re-evaluate why we think it's such a good idea to set up society without a safety net, such that temporarily shutting down the economy for a few months is such a disaster. Can we make structural/political changes that reduce the impact of such shutdowns? I know this is expecting way too much outside-the-ideological-box thinking from politicians, but maybe this kind of thought will inch toward the mainstream.
There’s a reason they’re called cash “equivalents”.
Oh no! DarkSky.net was my first open source Swift project (back when it was called ForecastIO)! I'm sad to see that the API seems to be going away next year.

Wow, there are so many mac problems in your workflow that WINDOWS is easier to use? Ouch.
The tech interview process is just so badly messed up. Even if the process were a reasonable proxy for IQ (it's not), or correlated somewhat with use of actual required technical skills (it doesn't), it still almost entirely ignores the EQ (emotional intelligence) and CQ (cultural intelligence) factors which comprise the other 2 legs of the "good hire" stool.
> Android and Wear OS App

> The app will no longer be available for download. Service to existing users and subscribers will continue until July 1, 2020, at which point the app will be shut down. Subscribers who are still active at that time will receive a refund.

IBM bought the Weather Underground app and ruined it, and now Dark Sky was bought by Apple and they're ruining that too. Now I will have zero good weather apps for Android. Just so Apple can flex on Google, even though I was a paying customer for both. During a major pandemic when public services are heavily reduced and poor access to good weather apps could put people in danger.

Extremely disgusting and extremely horrible. Always feels great to know that my reward for supporting startups is to be cannon fodder to rounding errors at major corporations.
Yeah , plus what else is there to do? This is a once in lifetime opportunity to risk your time

Ending live daily coverage of Trump press briefings
We may not agree (and I don't agree with Apple's move here) but it's hardly surprising that they would shut it down for their direct competitor platform.
In Tokyo I was blown away by Apple Maps- found it way more useful than Google (gmaps is my default). Maybe only useful to tourists who are used to simpler transit systems, but I was happy to see Apple was driving the state of the art there.
Et al - maybe, but Dark Sky built their own near-future "hyperlocal" forecasting engine and they were the first ones to do that. They basically invented the whole genre.

Perhaps they expanded into repackaging NOAA data now, but that's not what Dark Sky is about.
How to Sew a Face Mask
Ugh. We just implemented a bunch of functionality using their API. Now we have no path to production with any of it.
It's blowing my mind that I just did a ctrl-F for "compound interest" in this thread and got zero hits. It's not even part of the discussion any more.
Title should be 'Apple acquires DarkSky'

Everyone has a price.
This is (selfishly) disappointing as I just built my first Twitter bot[0] using their API. At least it can be live in it's current form until EOY 2021.

What part of the world are you in? I have always found it incredibly accurate in regards to precipitation in the midwest US states.
Instacart and Whole Foods employees were also striking at the same time.

I'm actually in favor of the general idea. And these folks seem like they might know a thing or two: https://www.w3.org/community/wicg/participants

I would be way more impressed though if there was a nice "related work" section.
> Are you patient enough to sit through questions like "how many kegs of beer on a schoolbus" and "how to build a datacenter on the moon" from some grinning techbro only to be told youre re-invited to another round of interviews?

I systematically end all interviews when they've reached this point. As soon as the smart-ass finishes their stupid question I just say "I think we're done here". I can stomach take homes, even whiteboarding, but don't ask me how many tennis balls would fit in the Empire State Building.
This really needs to be said more. For those of us not in web devel or microservices, the lower level of coupling between components really makes using multiple languages a pain. Plus, you have to learn all those languages -- sometimes I just want to actually get stuff done.

I consider it significant code smell when a project has multiple languages, particularly when each language seems tied to a particular developer.
Greatly reduced Rodinal, on the order of 1:100, will bring some "normal" tones out of hi-con film. At $0.30 a sheet it's not a bad experiment.

I was gifted a roll of expired Kodak Imagelink microfilm stock and once it's cut down to sheets that's my development plan for it. Similar tonal range and ISO.
Really? I have my ~/.ssh/config file set to “AddToKeychain” on all entries and it doesn’t seem to be a problem.
You started off with "for hardware companies"; so I assumed you put Apple in this bucket.
> It's not like it stops people from just using their phones anyway.

I'm finding that more and more people are bringing a software mindset to cars.

If it can be done wrong, we should add a technology fix to stop them!

It hasn't always been this way to anywhere near this degree.
This makes it sounds like the forecast won't be available on the website after this summer? Actually kind of annoyed about this; it was great on desktop, and a nice sort of demo version of the full app on mobile.
Best thing that ever happened in the automotive industry. Thank you, Honda. The many accident victims will thank you for the rest of us.
Ah, so legal liability is to protect the company from prosecution?

It is not clear to me that a company needs to say they don't support illegal behavior by the users. It also isn't clear to me that a non-paying user can ever prosecute a website for refusing a service on the basis of the companies terms of service. If the company is already doing something illegal, then it is based on the current legal statutes that they can be prosecuted.

I probably don't understand legal liability here.
a great reason to buy a Honda... if this becomes the new normal, I wonder how much this will hurt Tesla since it'd be a pretty drastic change for them.
> "how many kegs of beer on a schoolbus" and "how to build a datacenter on the moon"

I interviewed at Google and Facebook in 2015 and never got any questions like that. I don't think they've had those type of brainteasers for over a decade.
> No, at most it sounds like retaliation.

Full paid leave is not what most people in the US would call retaliation, particularly in the case of a warehouse worker.
Dark Sky claimed to do significant weather data collection themselves, via barometers in phones. I don't know if that data was ever used or available in their API, but definitely, the data Dark Sky had was all not public data.
This is the part where everyone stops buying from Amazon as a show of solidarity right?
What a horrible status page, for a project of 1 person or 1 million persons, this is slightly above useless.

Stripe [0] and Segment [1] have pretty useful status pages, which provide, in my opinion, the real reason for a status page -- to confirm there isn't a problem on your end or that an issue you're facing is or isn't a problem with the service so you can escalate accordingly.

Signal won't switch to a distributed or federated model because it does not serve Moxie's interests. This has been brought up again, and again, and again, but a centralized design gives Moxie more power so it doesn't matter if it cripples security, privacy, or reliability.
Not only that but some states will probably see multiple peaks if they relax restrictions too early.
Noooo, the Android app and website are going away?

I've been using them the last several years and loved the simplicity and balance of detail.

That's awful.
A two year wind down time seems more than reasonable for an API though.
It works fine with pnpm. The client package has a postinstall hook that generates the client after you install it.

Not necessarily. There are many moments during the operation of an aircraft where full attention is paramount. Yes, you see a pilot leaving the cockpit to use the lavatory while the co-pilot is monitoring the autopilot, but the margins are just as small as operating a motor vehicle.
Attacking an open-source software to promote another open-source software. You needed to do better dear Eclipse Foundation. This isn't the philosophy behind open-source.

Those presidents had remote wars and recessions as their triggers.

Trump has a pandemic. Ultimately, you can't really go out and build a high speed railway during a pandemic, when you want to enforce social distancing and isolations (construction is the opposite to social distancing). And the US is so big that high speed rail would still be an awful way to go cross-country (it's only really effective within states), perhaps effective for transporting goods but a guess on the data suggests this isn't economic. Dumping money into schools won't fix education, either.

Trump could've perhaps weaponised coronavirus better, but not by through of these ways. That said, he has chartered a course for the most 'socialist' action in recent American history, though: free money. I'd like to see if and how this impacts the future, perhaps it may affect the timeline of implementing a UBI.

There’s a chrome extension to do tiling:

Which is even more infuriating because it shows that missing tiling in Meet is just a frontend issue.

I’m completely baffled that this is not implemented.
