I have to disagree. I enjoyed the use of metaphor, and actually highlighted several on my Kindle.

# "Zuck had once famously derided [Twitter] as 'a clown car that drove into a gold mine'"

# "One of the Harvard mafiosi got into the habit of theatening engineers that he'd "punch them in the face" if they messed up. Quod licet Bozi, non licet bovi. Gods may do what cattle may not."

# "Eventually, Russia, India, Brazil and parts of Africa will fall into the Growth team's patient ministrations. Then, Mark Zuckerberg, like a young Alexander the Great at the Indus River, will weep for having no more world to conquer."
But if the K8s cluster is managed by cloud (e.g. AWS, Google, even DO), is this/Dokku still worth it (easier)?
This is very impressive. That'd have required a lot of bandwidth between the computer and the terminal. Did it have the plasma screen or was one of the later CRT-based ones?
Microsoft already builds ARM Office for the Surface Pro X, and has the only official ARM-based Chromium browser, Edge, as well, so I suspect they'll be well positioned.
I suspect the second-order effect would be people just mostly stopping doing those breakins. They just don't pay off if you know you will be caught.

I read this as "embeds anywhere. ... I don't think you'd use Pycopy to write a desktop application

That's pretty much it in my opinion. There's a huge difference in available libraries. Yet for simple things and special cases there still might be reasons to choose MicroPython over CPython even on desktop platforms. CPython startup time is a multiple of MicroPython startup time for instance (ok, not a lot of chance that matters, but you never know) and some things are more performant (but others arent; due to optimizing for size). I initially got to know it when looking for an embeddable scripting language working on unix/windows and intime which is a real-time extension for Windows, and of all major and less major implementations I checked MicroPython was the only one which only needed a small amount of extra code to make it compile, because it was written from the start with the idea to use C99 and make no assumptions about availability of libraries. CPython on the other hand was pretty messy (and LUA, and ...) E.g. if CPython sees an msvc compiler it automatically assumes it's running on Windows and has access to the complete CRT. Of which intime is the prime example where that is not the case. So, not easy to workaround and moreover it assumes e.g. it has registry access and that's not something which can be disabled with PP directives. And so on. I'm not really blaming anyone for that, makes sense from a certain point of view, but it's not too ideal. MicroPython on the other hand has like a hundred PP directives making a lot of features configurable, even language features so it can be made really minimal. Also MicroPython's source code overall is really nicely written, very readable, again in contradiction to some of CPython's source I've seen. And some parts like interpreter and compiler are pretty genius.

School Bus Companies in MA will not drop off a kid till 11-12 age range unless there is an older child or adult there to pick them up.

Yesterday I came across the article with review of Jelastic cloud. The author explains this service in the following way: "It’s kind of like WHM/cPanel but hosted on a cloud and can also manage server clusters rather than just one server, and integrate many other cloud services (storage, CDN, DNS, etc)"
https://wpjohnny.com/jelastic-cloud-platform-review

Seems as a good suit for you to start with. They have control panel and automation of some infrastructure management processes, so you can get started even without profound technical cloud expertise and dive deeper eventually.
Nice. I added your codec-beam project to my Erlang resources gist: https://gist.github.com/macintux/6349828

> I am not sure if any serious academic work has been built on this model, but it's a nice short hand.

Not that nmodel specifically, but cache-oblivious data structures are specifically designed to scale well in a hierarchical cache model, no matter the cache block size. So they scale excellently across L1 cache all the way down to hard disk.
Two suggestions come to mind:

- Check side-project directories for inspiration! For example you can check: https://profithunt.co/

- Find an old idea/startup and try to make it better in some way! Sometimes we try hard to find novel ideas, but making an old idea better, is more rewarding actually.
I was reading a post yesterday about how someone found difficult to gauge the level of violence in the current protests. As media is so polarised that you either get shots of peaceful protests or complete mayhem, depending on the paper's bias.

This got me thinking: What if we get the police radio transcripts, and extract every mention of an address.
Then have a central hub of drones that get dispatched automatically to any address of "interest" filming.

It's a bit crazy, most likely illegal. But definitely would be cool to see! Arguably truly unbiased "reporting". If you want to know the situation, just plug in to the feeds and get a decent overview of how it looks.
Since things are coming to a close I dont think OP has any leverage in the situation.

That would actually make sense. I was kind of surprised to see many Hackintosh builds with Ryzen CPUs and reference motherboards working pretty much out of the box...

Nobody here can help, and you shouldn’t trust them even if they happen to say something helpful on this forum. You need a business/contract lawyer in your locality.
Most hard drives have platters made of glass that are covered with a magnetic film, so a hammer is highly effective at physical destruction.

You can permanently wreck most electronics by putting them in a microwave oven for a few seconds. I'm certain you could blow out the controller of an SSD this way, but I am not so sure you'd blow the actual bits.
Everything is negotiable, but based on the info you've given here you don't have much leverage in any potential negotiation. The only thing you might be able to use is the fact that the acquiring party will likely want your cooperation and possibly to keep you on for a while post acquisition.

This is far from completely necessary though so it doesn't give you much. You are not being unreasonable but don't be surprised if your partner doesn't respond positively to your attempts at renegotiation.
Well, yeah, but if you're a jerk you don't care, so...

I recommend reading “Why Nations Fail” by Daron Acemoglu. At a very high level, nations often fail because of elite-driven rent extraction. Sometimes they don’t just fail for a few decades, they continue to spectacularly fail for centuries.

When people are forced out of their social and economic agency by a narrow elite, they will continue to be deprived of their agency long after that elite is replaced by another elite and another elite until people forget that they ever had culture and wealth. Now, I don’t think we’re seeing the worst manifestation of that in the U.S. Far from it. But it was striking to see not only how consistently problematic elite stratification is, but how good it can be to give power to the people.

Working from Home – Cons and Pros
I've been using portainer for managing a handful of basic containers on my home server (zoneminder, deluge, jellyfin, unifi controller). Overall I really like it, but some kind of feature to do this is probably the #1 thing I'm missing. It even lets you launch "stacks" from a compose file in a git repo, but doesn't have any facility to remember that info or do a redeploy, so you're basically starting from scratch every time:

Ask HN: How do you track your monthly spending
Very interested to hear of ways to track your spending without providing access to a 3rd party service, but that are also more sophisticated than manually typing it in excel.
> If there was only a library that did date manipulation and arithmetic with longs instead of Instant :(

You can always pass around long timestamps and just convert to Instant whenever you need to do any date/time processing. Provided the Instant doesn't escape the method it's allocated in, it should be optimized via inlining and Scalar Replacement so that it doesn't generate garbage. Of course, you'd be adding in the overhead of dividing up your long in to seconds/nanos each time.

Note: if this doesn't work on OpenJDK, try GraalVM: it's Partial Escape Analysis should do a better job at finding ways of eliding heap allocations.
There is visible flickering during the last second. Moving frame by frame: the blue highlight goes unseen together with Clear History, then it's Settings for This Website, then Hide Others, then Quit Safari twice, the highlight reappears on Hide Safari, then disappears with Clear History. A little bit later Settings for This Website is highlighted but the text stays dark instead of becoming white.
Absolutely, but iOS and its "security" is holding it back.
It seems that the initial plan is that only "MacBooks" aka budget macs will have the ARM cpus. The Pros will remain x86....for who knows how long though.
Proven Way to Minimize Subvocalization
The keyboard "fiasco" was fake news. Overblown by the loud minority and with later iterations probably not an issue at all. But it's a stain that couldn't be washed away (they tried with the replacement program, but likely wasn't effective enough).

At worst the keyboard "issue" is just a preference.
You can't really get good advice from strangers on the internet, you really need to talk to a lawyer and dig into the details, and even finding the right lawyer can be a very hard problem, so try to ask around to other technologists in your area and see if there are contract lawyers they have been happy to work with.

(edit: And to be clear, a good lawyer is 10% the written details in the contract and laws and regs and 90% understanding the relationship dynamics and your interests, being able to suggest a range of written structures and terms that capture tradeoffs, and being able to negotiate effectively. Ideally, a counselor.)

Some meta thoughts-

* there are all kinds of contracts and all kinds of relationships. Reasonable is in the eyes of the beholders, and depends on what they value (the business vs the person, etc). I have heard of much better (for the developer) terms, and much worse, than yours.

* from business perspective, the question ultimately is one of leverage. The question isn't how much you have contributed to the business- if your partner thinks that way then they value the relationship with you over the value to the business, and the terms you work out are dependent on how you value the relationship with them.

* a business is acquired for the future value it will bring to new owners. The question there is how much is your future contributions are worth to the business. If you are not needed or are easily replaceable and the product is turn key, then your value is zero. If your contributions are needed, then your value is very high and you should try to structure the future relationship accordingly.

Again, these are meta-thoughts only, the most important task is to try to find a good lawyer who is in your area and is familiar with these kinds of situations. Good luck.
Content marketing doesn't have to be spam. You can create a genuinely good article/source of information without trying to sell anything. Having good content on your site boosts SEO, or you could publish it somewhere else and just have a link to your site at the bottom.
Underweight elderly people also struggle with mobility. Muscle atrophy and loss of bone mineral density causes falls and fractures. They often break a hip and are then stuck in a bed for weeks, which triggers an accelerating downward spiral.

The first entry on this list is McCulloch-Pitts nerve nets whose expressive power were analysed by S.C. Kleene [1]. In his article he coined the term "regular events" for the class of languages that could be expressed by nerve nets/finite automata, and this is where regular expressions got their name from. If you have ever thought the name was strange, rest assured that Kleene didn't actually like it either, he just couldn't think of something better at the time:

> We shall presently describe a class of events which we will call "regular events" (We would welcome any suggestions as to a more descriptive term.*)
> [...]
> * McCulloch and Pitts use the term "prehensible," introduced rather differently; but since we did not understand their definition, we did not adopt the term.

So, had McCulloch and Pitts been a bit clearer in their seminal paper, then maybe it would have been called "prehensible expressions" :).

It will most likely be forgotten 500 years from now or at most mentioned somewhere in a footnote. This culture will not exist for too long because it is not self sustaining. For each success story there are way too many abused, overworked, misled and lied to. What makes it sustain itself at the moment is exactly this type of holiwoodisation, selling the dream. But this eventually turns stale.

For another POV on pain perception and it’s role in driving decisions and behavior, Dan Ariely’s Predictably Irrational book talks about his early experiences with immense physical pain and his research into the impact of pain perception. A great book in many ways, this part comes early and is a small part of the book, but puts a new perspective on some of our cognitive biases. If you haven’t read it yet, worth the time.

Then I will have to learn then. I feel most productive and comfortable working on a hobby project if I don't need to spend all of my time dotting the i's and crossing the t's with cli and configuration files. I just want to build. I don't see the value investing my time learning the ins and outs of tooling that I will use maybe a few times when it makes minimal impact, as it comes with an opportunity cost for me elsewhere. That's just me though, I have no gripes with people who love to tinker with their set ups. It just isn't my thing.
So you're advocating for a union that pays a premium for those employees who have seniority but whose skills are no longer in much demand? At the cost of salary for those whose skills have remained in demand or who have kept up to date with trends? After all, otherwise what advantage does a a union have in your scenario?

I doubt many well performing SEs would be happy to have coworkers like that in the future.

The ones worried about future marketability have many options including saving a lager percentage of income, investing money in passive income sources, moving into management, etc.

> We now know that China locked down domestic flights originating from Wuhan in Jan 23. While at the same time pressuring various world governments and WHO to continue accepting international flights.

As someone else pointed out, this is not a “now know”, it was public the same day in January that it happened.

Also, international flights mentioned were from other places than Wuhan - the international flights out of Wuhan were stopped at the same time as the domestic flights. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/05/trumps-flawed-china-travel...

> 1: This paper claims that the virus was circulating in micro-clusters earlier than currently believed. It makes no claims as to any coverup.

If the virus were circulating to the point of significantly increasing hospital visits in September, that means the Chinese doctors were covering up/hiding atypical pneumonia cases for months. (This doesn’t actually make sense because a virus doesn’t stop spreading because of a cover-up of course and would have escaped Wuhan much earlier)

> However, Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis expounds that language acquisition occurs only during exposure to new language and not while speaking.

I think exposure and actively speaking are the wrong categories - your learn a language by using it to participate in a common experience with another human being. For this, you both have to use the same protocol, and at the beginning, you have to figure out this protocol using a simpler fallback feedback protocol. This is something I am currently realizing as a father of a one-year old. This involves of course exposure and speaking, but I strongly doubt that you could learn a language just by listening to it and re-producing the words. I expect this would only result in text/speech resembling GPT-2.

I also think that you can have a common experience without actively producing text or speech, for example by watching a movie / TV show were you want to follow the story and participate in the lives of the actors. In fact, I know many people who effortlessly learned a second language by watching foreign movies and TV shows for years.

I’m probably missing something (and would gladly welcome correction), but this only seems to address a limited form of determinism. I’m not sure how the existence of randomness at the molecular level or the fact that psychological experience can influence human biology challenges determinism at large, much less proves the existence of free will.
