Likewise, I’d love to learn more about what you’re doing! I’ve found the learning-by-doing paradigm has worked for me (e.g. with learning ML concepts by applying them alongside reading theory, rather than after) and your simulation driven learning using cutting edge tech and applications (like your protein folding example) is a very intriguing extension of that idea.

Fitbit Stopped Supporting Developers
Fitbit has a vast community of developers who design beautiful watchfaces and apps for their smartwatches. But it's been over 2 months pretty much all of the developers are not getting single watchface approved, and every single one of them is getting an email about being patient upon asking support team.

> Whatever you do with Rails, stay far away from their template markup languages (haml). Write the front-end in Vue.js, consuming APIs, don't do any server-side rendering of anything.

This is far from a consensus opinion. Depending on your application you can actually get great results with Turbolinks, meaning you write very little client side code. It's worth reading up on that option as well.

Probably because dark mode has been shoved over us through an aggresive bro culture not unlike MongoDB at the time.

That's probably why people want to be vocal about it (not as much as said bro culture still)
Carcassonne works well as a two player game (not a deduction game, though).

For a start police in the UK have been videoing crowds with Handy Cams and mounted specialist mobile CCTV for decades for manual review. They have proved invaluable in NI for example in securing convictions of violent persons.

No one is saying there isn't a right to protest. The police have a duty to enforce the law and when protests turn violent they have the support of the majority to enforce that.

This method means minimal engagement with the crowd.
Of course "a calorie is a calorie". That is how the unit is defined. Nobody is disputing the laws of thermodynamics.

That doesn't mean each calorie in what we call 'food' is as accessible to the body's metabolic processes as a calorie in other food. If i wrap a pellet of food inside a non-digestible shell, it will still burn in a bomb calorimeter or will still have about the same caloric measurement in constituent macro-analysis.

This doesn't mean calories are a useless model of energy uptake from foods, just that they are not perfect.

We also have to take into account that the food industry has not been exactly neutral with regards to this metric. If calorie counting is a thing, then they will game the imperfectness of the metric in any way possible to get the desired 'low' score on the label while still maximizing your addictive consumption cravings regardless of how fat it will or will not make you. So we can/could expect the 'calorie' as a unit of measure to become less and less acurate as a result of this gamign of the metric.

But, again, this still doesn't mean that there is no relation between food intake, energy expenditure and weight gain as some would like to portray.

If your consumption pattern is making you fat, reducing consumption while changing nothing about the diet composition or timing (yes, when and how you consume also has an influence on your metabolism) will still make you gain less weight or even make you lose weight depending on the ratio change.

The reason that previous obvious statement is still vilified is that there is an enormous industry around consumption and managing consumption. It is not by coincidence that the advice from last century about consumption moderation 'eat less' has largely been replaced by an 'eat different' message.

Finally, there is an enormous hypocrisy in creating a 'market' system that evolves through rewards the most ferocious and amoral predators that can push whatever 'food' optimized for maximal consumption addiction, and then turning around to the 'consumer' and proclaiming 'personal responsibility' and 'moderation'.

> We need to explain that the information about you can be passed among 25 different ad tech companies or it can be passed among 25 parts of Google. Which one of those is better or safer? That’s hard to know.

Really? Neither option is great but if you absolutely have to choose the lesser of two evils it seems obvious that Google is going to be a better steward of your data than 25 random ad companies. At least Google isn't going to sell your data. Those 25 other ad companies are going to turn into 2500 real fast.
So - Resigned for health reasons effective immediately, but then he's going to continue being a consultant for 6 months? Must be some fairly particular health reasons... I genuinely hope he's OK.

IMO, if it was health reasons and he still wanted to continue working for Intel, Jim would have simply arranged for some alternative working setup - more remote, email collab, different hours, a few weeks off, etc. None of these would typically provoke the need for an official resignation & press release.
A calorie is a calorie only in the tautological sense.

Paper and wood pulp are carbohydrates, but you cannot get any energy from eating those.

Petrol is 12kcal/g, more calorie dense than fat at 9kcal/g, but you can't get any energy from eating it.

"Ah, I mean the digestible things" I hear you say; well then - we've already established that "a calorie is not a calorie" if you need to add exceptions. But, with this exception:

Different kinds of foods have a different calorie extraction/absorption profile. paper/petrol have 0; pure sugar has 100%, most things defined as "food" are high on that scale, but usually not 100%; It also takes nontrivial energy to digest some foods. This is often lumped up into "atwater factors", the values of which seem to vary by 20-80% among different individuals and the same individual at different times.

The statement that "a calorie is just a calorie" is incredibly useless in the context of human metabolism.
Aviation requires years of training plus training for the specific type of aircraft. Commercial pilots need thousands of hours as co-pilots before they can be in command. Pilots are also in constant contact with coordinators (ATC) or follow exact routes, dozens or even hundreds of miles apart from other aircraft, where contact is not possible (e.g. over the North Pole).

How is this comparable to the relative mayhem on public roads?

Ask HN: Solo developer – Recommended architecture/patterns for building a SaaS?
Across SaaS offerings there are some common functionalities that must be built but as a solo developer my time and resources are limited.

* Authentication / Authorization
* Usage monitoring
* API Gateway
* Billing calculations
* Invoice generation and sending
* Customer support (including portal to manage account)

I have left the specifics of the software out on purpose however it is primarily REST API based.

So far I have looked at building on top of Kubernetes with Keycloak for auth; Kong (free) for API gateway; cron jobs to calculate daily bills, update a database and send monthly invoices. It's ugly, takes more time than I would like to spend to maintain and develop and means I lose time spent working on my core business.

Are there any best practices/design patterns/architectures for building a small-medium scalable SaaS platform?

I am open to experiences with managed services and heavy vendor lock-in as previously I tried to avoid it but the flexibility (that I have not used) is a tradeoff with time and effort required.
You can see the same pattern as in the English Channel, in the Antwerp and Rotterdam areas.

My guess is higher traffic of ships probably running at lower speeds (higher concentration of gases in the same volume).

Ships are also meant to change from crude bunker fuel (which spews really high concentrations of SO2) to finner diesel fuel (which spews high concentrations of NO2) when they get closer to ports.

It's a case of choose your poison with shipping, SO2 kills you now, NO2 kills you in the long run (it reduces human lifespan)
The use of the phrase “techbro” immediately makes me sceptical of this article.

Surely the use of Dark Mode is purely on ascetic grounds.

This reads like a massive straw man argument.
Also the timing w/ WWDC coming up and rumours of an Intel → ARM switch.
I can't remember one that's more recent than 20. All these languages were introduced before open source became the clear winner it is now.
If Apple switches Macs to ARM this or next year as rumored, all the interesting problems w.r.t. chip design must have been solved at this point.
My IBM Model F keyboard (83 key XT) is probably the oldest gadget I engage with daily. I've tried every keyswitch under the sun and nothing comes close to the smoothness and tactility of the capacitive buckling springs. It makes basically all other keyswitches feel like flimsy chinese garbage. Also, it's indestructable and quite heavy. As in, you could bludgeon someone to death with it.

> Facebook advertised to Walmart with union busting capabilities. Walmart has a union busting history going back 50 years minimum.

I am pretty certain this particular feature went the other way around: Facebook has to work very hard to retain customers on Workplace, because they're competing against Microsoft (who have extremely deep pockets, and arguably a better product in many regards).

I'm willing to bet Walmart went to Facebook and told them to implement this feature, or they'd jump ship. Certainly that's what's happened with other Workplace features in the past, such as the ability to control access for hourly employees.
Thanks for your work and your team's work on Git!
I had a different idea. Maybe you could craft a zip-bomb response. The bot would fetch the small gzipped content and upon extraction discover it was GBs of data? Not sure that's possible here, when responding to a request, but that would surely turn the admins attention to it.

Hey, I live in Seattle and my (not WeWork) coworking space is in the CHAZ. Pretty much all of the press coverage feels like a broadcast from another dimension when I compare it to the place itself: mellow and kind of boring. The only real risk is that some wing of the government will send in uniforms or agitators. If that doesn't happen, I think they'll just do stuff like grow vegetables in Cal Anderson Park. Capitol Hill is usually a pretty fun and mellow place, so if outside forces don't change that it'll just keep on keeping on.
Part of the problem the USSR faced at implosion was that its major export, oil, was not only produced in increasing supply (by saudi) but was priced in a weakening currency (USD). If it turned out the US doesn't like countries like Iran or Venezuela, a weaker dollar would serve foreign policy.

Also, a weaker dollar would be better for young people in the US. Making exports expensive and imports cheap doesn't help an economy grow over the long run* (see JPY), it only benefits those who already have lots of USD. So depending upon the generational balance of power within the US, a weaker dollar might also serve domestic policy.

* for short term goals (like M&A of the DDR) a strong currency can be beneficial.
Ask HN: Tips for students before starting their first job
Hi, I'm 19 and currently in my second CS semester. I've got some projects on my portfolio, did some internships and will start an job as an research assistant at an institute next semester. However, I really have no clue how I can prepare myself enough before landing my first job after university. The only things I can find are: build a portfolio and contribute to open-source.

Which advice did/would have helped you landing your first job after university? And whats your best tip for life in general?
That's based on the company, tech...yes, insurance..probably no ;)
Interesting. Where did you hear that?
I think this shows how counting on horizontal scaling to handle inefficiency only works for a while, and will eventually introduce its own set of complexities - and dealing with those might be more trouble than coding things more efficiently in the first place. Then again, maybe it's worth it for a huge company like Shopify, because they save work for the feature devs by adding extra load on the test infrastructure devs, effectively increasing developer parallelism.

Finally I wonder if they could have done more to speed up their tests? I'm maintaining a Rails codebase too, and I cut test time down by two thirds by rewriting tests with efficiency in mind - e.g. by ignoring dogma like 'each test needs to run completely independently of previous ones' (if I verify the state between tests, do I really need to pay the performance penalty of a database wipe?) The test-prof gem has a great tool, let-it-be, that allows you to designate db state that should not get wiped between tests. That and focusing on more unit tests and fewer integration test has really gone a long way toward speeding things up again for me.
I considered it. That was after my time in hospital IT. Really I wanted to stop getting my eardrums blown out by a robot. Luckily I happened to be working at a phone company so changing my number just took a couple clicks.

"Everybody" who has some knowledge in security (espcially with respect to side channels) knew from beginning that these CPU features were a ticking time bomb in terms of potential side channels.

What was unclear was how this (at this time played down by CPU vendors) potential threat could be used to create real attacks.

Going from potential threat (that "everybody" knew about) to real attack is the central achievement of the authors of the Spectre and Meltdown attacks (and their successors).

Dark Mode is a bad solution, because it solves the wrong problem:
- Having black caracters on a clear background is a good thing.
- The problem is that using "pure white 6500K" for the background is plain stupidity.
- The solution: Amazon has found it, with his software "Kindle for PC"
- Having "Sepia" color for the background do the trick : Less blue, that's all
- My solution: Tweaking my monitor, to lower the blue component when I work
- Only when I play video games, do I restore the normal color temperature

I wish Windows Save/Open dialogues would have links to already open Explorer windows (much like the links to Documents.)

Rationale: Project are often contained in a single root folder. I often start by opening this folder in Explorer. Some programs can be started by double clicking files. Others cannot. Saving new files always requires interacting with the save dialog and thus browsing to the project folder again.
If that did happen it’d be the Nuvia ISA based on ARM no? So devices that used their chips would have their spin of the arm arch —- I read that every ARM chip is indeed an ARM chip but each vendor puts enough of their own spin on it that they are different enough — is that the case? If so, it’s unlikely that Apple will use something from them not built in house and custom to their needs imo

> Articles describing this seems to say it's caused by the film medium, rather than being an optical effect.

Halation in film is caused by reflection from the back of the film. Most of them have an anti-halation layer to reduce this effect. I don't see any reason why one's eye wouldn't also be vulnerable to this effect (and probably has some biological mechanism to prevent light from being reflected out of the eye. Cats sure don't have this, though.)

The world is slowly becoming a better place.
"Health reasons" is probably one of the broadest categories of "leaving" reasons you can give, could be almost anything.

I myself is leaving the company I worked for a while now because of "health reasons". My coworkers and me are not getting along, so in order to save my personal sanity, I'm leaving. If the culture would be wrong at Intel for Keller, they could also publicly say for health reasons rather than blaming some specific reason and admitting the culture at Intel is bad.

Point is, could be anything really.
Is currency stability correlated with sustained international investment?

Belt and Road Initiative implies construction (labor/resource deployment) to solidify economic connections between regions/hemispheres where there are various career specializations and resource concentrations. "Currency" implies "current" (immediate) access to these things, therefore leverage to wield as enabled by inevitable research breakthroughs?

Like can't I just send something like "hey coworker, lets do the thing that's opposite of ionized!". Or will the AI block my message (or more scarily, subtly rewrite it) and inform my manager?

This seems like tech with huge unintended consequences if perfected (even for their intended benign uses in workplaces) since it has the potential to be scaled up to censor society.
Well I never made a decision based on a pretense that I was going to save my eyes by switching. I just prefer one particular scheme better and find more pleasant to work with all day, it doesn't need to be anymore complicated than that for me.

Your comparison to the cigarette discussion is an interesting point. The article didn't present anything particularly strong in regards to studies around this though so I'm unsure what there is to discuss, aside from speculation on whats good and bad for our eyes. If we're speculating I'd wager regular breaks and getting away from your screen as much as possible is far more impactful that which color scheme you choose.
Or Apple could switch to AMD. Maybe both! :)
