Honestly, I am not lured by any particular company based on what it does or it's image or even it's culture. Because a company does X, it doesn't mean my job at that company will be good. Also there might be super interesting roles hiding in boring looking companies, like for example a pension company or a staple manufacturer.

However to answer the question as best as I can, doing a CS PhD would be the most exciting thing - especially in those moonlight months at the beginning when you are exploring the space and learning. Maybe less so when writing the dissertation!
The implication of what you're saying is silly. Yes, making a marginal copy of the latest Star Wars film is nearly zero. However, the first instance cost $275,000,000 to create. We split the cost across each unit because if we didn't, the movie wouldn't exist, because nobody would buy the first unit.

You are getting too caught up on the fact that some things have low marginal costs to produce that you're entirely neglecting that overhead costs are a thing that also exist.

Even for something like Linux, there are gigantic overhead costs. The vast majority of Linux commits are made by people sitting at their paid job. Those lines of code are not free, they are financed by the companies who are willing to pay Intel/IBM/RedHat etc for their products and services.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Just checked out your site - landing page looks very aesthetically pleasing and I think the product does have a ton of potential. I can see how others thought this was too good to be true 4 years ago.

Goodluck with everything!

He did love his job. He enjoyed handling hundred-million dollar checks, among other things. But the glee that he got out of denying a claim was perverse.

Maybe you should go read some CDC statements because they definitely indicate their level of confidence when they communicate.

There is plenty of blame to go around which is valid, so let’s actually place the correct blame where it is due. For what this thread is complaining about, the blame falls on the media for their reporting and on the people for not reading the details.
Close enough to zero that for our purposes, we can safely round down to it.
They absolutely should care. I’m not adding you to a group text if you have an android. Life is too short to read green text bubbles.

People definitely do.

The worst part is, an excellent upgrade exists. The RCS experience between Android users is pretty much as good as iMessage. Apple could support this; not to replace iMessage, but to upgrade SMS conversations. My tech-illiterate mom's Galaxy S negative 12 has it. Of my contacts, every single Android user I text (maybe a dozen) has RCS. Its standard.

When I put my iPhone XS and my S20 Plus side-by-side; chatting with Android users using rich text via RCS; animations at 120hz on a display so blindingly bright the brightness slider turns red at the end; so seamless with the device's edges its like looking through a portal; unlocking with a sonic sub-pixel fingerprint reader; swiping notifications away at a rate the iPhone can't approach; charging my computer keyboard, mouse, phone, laptop, and smartwatch with the same cable... I've religiously used both iPhone and Android, I switch every year, and the iPhone feels like its years behind Samsung right now. Its not close.
GoAccess is cool but it won't help you much if you have a static website or if you serve the majority of requests from a CDN. In those cases, Matomo (previously piwik) is a good solution for client-side JS-based analytics similar to Google Analytics.

Every part of the world has its own messaging apps. Depending on where you live, it might be WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, LINE, or I’m sure others. In Europe I know for a fact that the popular app varies from country to country. So you could just as easily dismiss LINE as a “purely Japanese phenomenon” but the fact is each app is popular in a certain part of the world.

Because network effects are more important than UX or features.

Why is he shifting with his right hand instead of his left? It seems obvious, but maybe isn't: you should shift/ctrl with the opposite hand that is going to type the letter.
Network effects. All your friends are using iMessage.

This is mostly a US phenomenon because in other countries people had already adopted other messaging apps due to higher text messaging costs and for free international voice/video calls
> Steven Pinker describes how that went

Well as Wikipedia describes how it went beforehand:

> In the first six months of 1969, there were 93 bank robberies in Montreal compared to 48 bank robberies in the first six months of 1968.[5] In January and February 1969, the FLQ staged 10 terrorist bombings in Montreal, and between August 1968 and February 1969, there were 75 bombings linked to the FLQ.[5] In February 1969, the FLQ set off bombs at the Montreal Stock Market (injuring 28 people) and at the offices of the Queen's Printer in Montreal.[5] March 1969 saw the outbreak of violent demonstrations as French-Canadians demanded that McGill University, a traditional bastion of Montreal's English-speaking elite, be transformed into a French-language university, leading to counter-demonstrations by English-Canadians to keep McGill an English language university.[4] The leader of the 'Operation McGill Français' protests was ironically a part-time Marxist political science lecturer from Ontario named Stanley Gray who could barely speak French, but who declared that McGill must become a French-language university to end "Anglo-elitism", rallying support from the Quebec separatist movement.[11] Over two weeks of clashes and protests, McGill was reduced to chaos as Quebec separatists stormed into the meetings of the McGill's Senate and administration chanting such slogans as "Révolution! Vive le Québec socialise! Vive le Québec libre!".[11] The climax of the 'Operation McGill Français' protests occurred on the evening of 28 March 1969 when a 9,000-strong group of Quebec separatists led by Gray tried to storm McGill, and clashed with the police who had been asked by McGill to keep Gray's group off the campus.[11] In September 1969, rioting broke out in the St. Leonard district between Italian-Canadians and French-Canadians with differing opinions of the language issue.[4] Italian immigrant parents had kept their children from school to protest the fact that the language of school instruction was now French instead of English, and on 10 September 1969, a group of 1,500 French-Canadian nationalists attempted to march through St. Leonard's Little Italy district to protest the school boycott.[12] Upon arrival, the marchers were attacked by the Italians, leading to a night of violence on the streets.[13]

And this was all while the police were on the job, so it seems like pretty important context (especially considering the article is not the headline and we're talking about policing scope here).
Well encryption was already ruled as munitions previously, though restrictions have lapsed a bit.

Some others (such as chacha20) are pretty popular too. This is the only cipher used by wireguard and one of the ciphers used by ssh and tls.

No it was not. It was designed by two Belgian cryptographers (the same ones that did SHA3).

Symmetric

No offence but you seem quite clueless.
I am definitely going to give it a try but I wish statistical/scientific plotting libraries' documentation would include example comparisons with matplotlib and ggplot2. I usually just want to know how much easier/prettier will library X be to use compared to those two.
Once one side starts speculating on things like this, the other side starts speculating on things like what was an intoxicated man doing in the driver's seat on a car.

It's not helpful to the issue, which is that he was murdered by police, and that something needs to change to prevent something similar from happening again.

Yeah, I feel like Deno will reduce dependency usage, and people will hurrah and say "look, using URIs as deps actually worked to make things easier!", when in reality the reason dependency hell freezes over is because Deno actually has an STL.

would it be possible to link this up with multiple user selectible legend that then update a table? What I'm thinking is a table with multipl entires, where the legend on the right of the plot serves specify characterstics in the table. E.g. gender, age group, and then these selections would plot them but also update the table below them?
“Intelligence is situational — there is no such thing as general intelligence. Your brain is one piece in a broader system which includes your body, your environment, other humans, and culture as a whole. […] Currently, our environment, not our brain, is acting as the bottleneck to our intelligence.”

“Human intelligence is largely externalized, contained not in our brain but in our civilization. We are our tools — our brains are modules in a cognitive system much larger than ourselves. A system that is already self-improving, and has been for a long time.”

“Recursively self-improving systems, because of contingent bottlenecks, diminishing returns, and counter-reactions […], cannot achieve exponential progress in practice. Empirically, they tend to display linear or sigmoidal improvement.”

“Recursive intelligence expansion is already happening — at the level of our civilization. It will keep happening in the age of AI, and it progresses at a roughly linear pace.“

> Try ASDF versus FDSA on a QWERTY layout. ASDF feels much more natural, doesn't it?

It doesn't for me. Is it significantly more difficult/awkward? Maybe I'm used to it from playing scales on piano?
I can just type both Dvorak or Qwerty, it hasn't been much of a problem switching between the two. But in general, I use a keyboard that has an embedded layout, so I just bring my keyboard with me and all my bindings, macros, etc are with me. Very nice!
I get the impression that you are not very deeply connected with the general conlanging community. Eurolangs are only a very small part of the vast diversity!

Instead of borrowing around, use a random seed in generating a minimum set of unique basic “native” words according to language rules and build on top of that (borrowing for meanings outside of that set).

So freaking common I can't even begin to list a representative set. The whole category of oligosynthetic languages does this (although the initial generation may not be completely random). There are multiple software packages for assisting with the generation of this kind of language.
I think Google Duo and WhatsApp are the competitors to Facetime. Zoom is more of a competitor in the video conferencing space along with Google Meet, Skype for Business and Cisco WebEx. Regular Skype is more of a competitor in the all-in-one consumer messaging space along with Google Hangouts.

Unfortunately all are proprietary and it was the previous generation, iChat and Google Talk, that were based on the open XMPP standard.
The US is a big place. WhatsApp has plenty of users in the US. It’s easily the third messaging app I use, after LINE and iMessage. And the people I talk to on WhatsApp are US natives, it’s not like they picked up WhatsApp in some other country and brought it here.
One IDE I used likes to dump hundreds of megabytes of binary crud in there, with names suggesting it's an actual copy of the IDE rather than anything useful. Run two or three configurations of the IDE and goodbye at least a gigabyte.

Tukwila, Bellevue, and Southcenter are not in Seattle, and are not covered by the blanket Seattle curfew. And, quite obviously, the looting there had nothing to do with the police attacks in Downtown/the East Precinct.

And on Saturday, they started off kettling protesters, and then followed it up with unprovoked gas attacks, long before the curfew, or the burning started. Again, there is plenty of video footage, and detailed timelines of all of this.

> To what end? Seattle is a progressive city that could reform the police tomorrow if they wanted too.

Seattle is a progressive city with an abusive police force that has successfully resisted reform for two decades. Its police union is one of the most sheltered from accountability in the country. It is under federal sanction for police brutality, that both the union, and the city has done its best to push back on, and ignore. The current mayor is a former federal prosecutor, that ran on a campaign of, among other things, police accountability that she immediately abandoned, as soon as she got into office. She is currently turning a completely blind eye to what is happening in her own town.

Meanwhile, the governor is telling everyone that everything is fine, and that the Office of Police Accountability will handle any police misbehaviour. The OPA consists of 9 police officers, and 1 civilian... And its decisions aren't even binding - but are carried out at the pleasure of the police chief.

If reform were so easy, we'd have done it a decade ago. Instead, we have a nightmarish quagmire, where the none of the checks and balances work, and the government is actively covering for the police. For an outside observer, if you didn't know this were about Seattle, you may assume that I described the political situation in East BuFu, Flyover Country.

From the docs at https://deno.land/manual/getting_started/permissions:

Exactly. These are social products. Features are meaningless if you can’t talk to the people you want to reach.

It’s true, but GA also does a pretty good job at filtering out bot traffic for example, so it depends on what your definition of more accurate is. There are also ways to send GA hits through a sub domain to make it look self hosted and bypass ad blockers.
Other messaging apps have the same features as iMessage, but not the same user experience. For example, WhatsApp has a pretty massive spam and fake news problem, and Facebook messenger is significantly slower and applies a high degree of compression on media. iMessage offers the best UX, and that’s why, in my experience, iOS users will almost always opt to use iMessage over competitors when communicating with other iOS users.
> certain users are given a lot more weight

Almost certainly not. My submissions regularly reach the front page, but it's still a very small fraction, and, as you observed, often only at the fourth or fifth try.

HN's "submission success" is indeed highly random. Your submission gets between few minutes and two hours at /newest (and if it's got longer that's because it's a time of low activity: nighttime in America).

Either the "right" readers for your submission happen to be active at this timespan, or they don't.
How does Matomo work better with a static site, than GoAccess? GoAccess reads the server logs and creates metrics. Matomo requires javascript; that isn't 'static website'.
Guessing that they are using Apple Business Chat. We've looked at using it, too.
I'm with you, but I think the parent comment is right. Because generally comments here are either over-criticizing or over-defending JS.
Something like Matomo running on a cheap VPS (less than $5/month) is a good Google Analytics replacement for small projects.

It's cheaper than Simple Analytics (mentioned in the article) and no data is sent to a service operated by a 3rd party because it's self-hosted.
Pygame is all this is. I'm not saying that it's the only way. It's probably one of the worst ways in my humble opinion, though I can't really say that without understanding their vision for the project tbh.

Should I assume they are looking at scratching every single line of code they've written for this and restarted? Why would I make that assumption?

I don't want to quibble with you. My only point here is that an all-python user space is a significant undertaking if you are willing to acknowledge the scope of what the user space actually entails. It's totally doable, but this project isn't even a step in the direction of solving those problems. It's a totally different thing.

Depending on the objective in a "python only" operating system, I may be inclined to strongly advise not trying to reimplement everything in python. The nature of C is such that you can write a C compiler in C, compile it, throw away the source code, and use the compiled binary for the new compiler to start developing a new compiler for C. But you can't like, make a python interpreter for python, in python, delete CPython, and then use the python version. It is dependent on CPython. And so, to build it, it's dependent on GCC, make, a shell, etc.

These are great tools. I think you should keep them, and define a specific surface area that python interfaces with. That's all I'm sayin'.

"Quis custodiet custodes" means "Who will watch (the) watchers?" With the "ipsos" - "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes", it means "Who will watch the watchers themselves?" - i.e. it puts emphasis on "the watchers". Basic meaning for both is the same, but I think the original version used "ipsos"

The hole can also get filled in unexpected ways. This past weekend during the riots and looting, when the police in Chicago were stretched too thin, some people were happy the local gangs were protecting them from the looters.

. dependencies are carefully considered by users

. dependencies are not added recursively

. dependencies try to be dependency-free themselves to assist with the previous point

. dependencies are not blindly nor automatically updated

. dependencies solve important domain problems, they are not trivial one-line-functions

. dependencies are typically developed and tested by a known team or company, which you trust, not just someone random

. binaries can be signed

. support contracts are a thing
