How to Stop Feeling Crushed for Time
I find it most useful as a Super key, so that I can attach all my custom keybindings and shortcuts to it.
I don't think it's too much to ask people to deny any claim made about them by, say, the four largest papers in the US, if that claim is in fact wrong.
How many habitable planets are out there?
note, for people who were briefly confused like me, that to be considered polynomial time, it has to be polynomial in the number of bits, i.e. log(N).
The "Steele Dossier" was reported on ad-nauseum, and its bona fides were suspect from the start. There little real denying the authenticity of the materials involved in this Biden case, yet suddenly new standards emerge preventing reporting? I fault the editors very much.
This. With the exception of super early stage startups that could easily go belly up fast, or small mom&pop shops, networks and connections are most likely to only get you to an leetcode phone screen. From then on, you're just going to traverse the leetcode whiteboard interview gauntlet like any other candidate.

I have a friend/ex-colleague that I would describe as a "master networker". He has a huge network including some pretty senior executives at various NYC hedge funds, and even a billionaire or two. I kid you not in that he can literally make a few calls and get a "developer job" at a hedge fund.

The downside is that he has to be extremely unpicky and be willing to settle for very unsexy jobs like shuffling XML feed files using SSIS or working with Excel VBA or legacy ASP.NET Webforms code, etc. But all of them still pay very well, so...
That is essentially what you used to be paying for with certs back in the day. You bought yourself a $500, $1000, or $1500 cert based on the level of liability insurance you needed if someone "broke the encryption". The extra money does help pay for extra betting by the issuing authority, theoretically.

The thing is, just charging extra money would probably work for the most part, even if it isn't all that fair. Also, how do I set myself up as the authority you need to pay $$$$$ to for a certificate? That seems like a pretty sweet market to be in. ;)
I've gotten a vasectomy and refuse to have kids because I think it's unethical to have children right now facing an unprecedented climate disaster.

It's going to be real bad. REAL bad. All the evidence points towards that. Most people are in denial about how bad it's going to be.
Just something that needs to be said from time to time…

If you are interested in accurate analog to digital converters (which you are, since you went to get a 16 converter instead of the 10 bit ones already included), and there is any possibility that your signal will be changing faster or really anywhere near your sample rate (which is at most 860 samples/second here, remember to include all that nasty digital switching noise polluting your pristine analog signal) then you really want to put a little RC filter on the way from your pristine analog signal to your A/D converter.

It's only two components, one takes the place of a wire or a crossover on the circuit board if you are working through hole, so it's really only one extra component.

Design of the RC filter is left to the reader and the thousand web pages which will tell you how. Further reading: "aliasing" in the context of signal processing.

Once you've leveled up to preventing aliasing, then you can spend a little bit of time thinking about reducing the impedance of your analog signal circuit, let some current flow so the electrical noise doesn't change the voltage so much. But not too much.
Some people cancel and then once it has stopped reactivate useing their VPN to renew in Turkey or Argentina at much cheaper rates. Long as they already have a verified payment card on their account.
That differs between people, I personally would not mind the NSA running ExpressVPN as a covert outlet because than I at least know for certain my is kept secret by a secure state operator that has incentives aligned with my personal interests.

Any other operator runs the risk of becoming high jacked by other state operators. If you can hack Sony, break DNC email servers, hospitals for records, manipulate windows server functionality or create Stuxnet than a VPN is a cake walk.

A VPN was until this offering from Google a trolley problem. I gladly pay for Google products because they work for me. I even upload my porn to Google Photos because of the superiority of their streaming capabilities coming from the youtube backend.
Let’s address this theology you’ve just created that you propose/project others believe. It would be more persuasive if you presented an “anti-space” (?) actually expressing this argument. Otherwise it could just be a fantasy you’ve concocted in your head...

A counter argument to your theology: I personally know of no one who has proposed banning space exploration. Banning space travel would follow your created theology, since banning is what morality normally does.

A more widely held theology might be that “anti-space” believes that human space exploration is a cowardly, and not a heroic, endeavor. One person’s exploration is another person’s escape. That is off-message for selling space tourism and tchotchkes, so there could be some pushback from those with “skin in the game”.

And it shows some unintended disrespect for those who gave their lives during early space missions.

PS: In fact, I know of nobody who, now and then, hasn’t wanted more human space travel.

They just want to choose who gets sent and whether they are permitted to come back alive. Two birds, one stone...

Indeed, but reputation is taking a hit based on the nature of what they are censoring.

Doesn't add up.

And frankly, I'm not taking a political side as much as I am pointing out their actions don't add up either way.
It's an interesting pivot for you guys from building some sort of recruitment AI (I remember seeing it somewhere) to this.

Would you mind elaborating this shift?

Anyways, Good luck with the launch!Will give this a go.
This isn't about tech at all. I agree that Congress is out of touch with many tech challenges, but it doesn't apply to the issue under consideration. You don't need to be tech-savvy to understand or consider the implications of media control over public speech. Society has struggled with this issue since the dawn of mass media. It's fundamentally the same concern we faced with yellow journalism a full century ago, and back to the dawn of man in many ways.

I don't trust our politicians when it comes to complicated tech issues. I may not agree with how they handle current social media issues. But I don't think tech ignorance is limiting their understanding of this issue. It's a social issue and a media issue. It's not a tech issue.
The PyCon incident had nothing to do with the code of conduct. They even added a rule against publicizing incidents before staff can investigate.
That's a good idea. When I recorded the piano I hadn't built the tetris machine yet so I didn't have the proximity-test library part. Now it would be so easy to test if there is a hole or not (or a bump) in a block working as a sheet as it moves down. And now that scripts have editing powers, I can see how I could add a block to where the "cursor" is when I'm recording the song.
See ... what I do not like or agree with is the essentially paranoid, mistrustful nature of your statement. No, not everybody will "will just ask for the moon and over-sell whatever their team in particular is focussing". A couple of points here that go way, way back to pre-1985:

* one of the major problems at corporations is lack of openness. People BS all the time. Worse, and I've seen several of these in my job, people believe that if you do not manage-up and BS then you're a chump. Part of the management is to cut this BS out. The difference between you and me at this point in time is that it's an unchecked assumption for you, but not for me.

* Cross functional coordination is essential to proper corporate governance. In particular, manager's damn well drill into internal service suppliers they'd better be customer driven and not make whatever they want - see also Conway's law. A lot BS at companies is half-assesd internal suppliers who underperform because they get management cover 'cause we have to use them ... and they cannot be essentially fired without extraordinary cause. Cross functional coordination is essential to getting and keeping people on the same sheet of music.

I'd read "Human Element" (Dr. Schutz) and "Total Quality Management the Japanese Way" (K. Ishikawa [might be sp there but title is good]).

In my experience manufacturing knows this is true, even they don't always practice it. But most service companies are clueless.

Yes, if you don't have a management approach (TQM the Japanese way), you don't have a solid framework to human organizations and teams (Human Element), you don't have cross functional coordination, you don't have customer driven teams, and management tolerates the BS ... then you don't in fact have management and you do have politics whence I refer you to my original statement.
The next step is "discounted" year-long subscriptions as the month-to-month price steadily rises. And suddenly we've returned to the world of annual contracts as the standard.

Greenwald has a contractual right to a lack of editorial oversight and they pushed it anyway telling him certain things need to change concerning the content and who exactly is painted as corrupt before the story will be published.

As far as I can tell, the "tantrum" they allude to is better stated as 'exercising his contractual rights he negotiated as a founder for exactly these sorts of cases'.
A number of companies have asked for popcount to NOT be included in the base spec for B (certainly Zbb for embedded), because of the expense of implementing it vs the relatively small speedup it givesfor quite specialized use-cases.

Of course popcount will have an opcode allocated and binutils and gcc will (already do) know how to use it if it is present, so anyone who wants/needs it can implement it.
Intelligence isn't the only requirement for any particular role.

e.g., S., finance, is asking questions about the team's progress as if we were doing waterfall, unhappy with missed dates, when our team was agile.

Our director, quite confidently, says to us: "There's a disconnect here, I'll book in 15 minutes with S. and get it fixed up.", as if it's not a big issue. She does not do programming at all.

On the other hand, my ability to implement a red-black tree on the whiteboard would not have helped with this situation.

Previously I've been in startups where the managing director, who was a PhD, and much smarter than I was, who could not resolve the smallest of conflicts safely.
I’m the wrong person to help, I think. I can only relate my own experience. Unless you get lucky and meet a natural extrovert coach like I did, seek out a coach, or even a therapist.

I limit my LinkedIn network to people I actually know, no offense.
There is whether those leaks are factual, or not too.

Good thing he's not an editor then.
Sounds like he founded The Intercept so he could write journalism free from having to adhere to political narrative that are pushed by the major news outlets of today in order to be used to promote the interests of powerful people and corporations.
Great article.

TL;DR: Kotlin has GC and you'd think that would make you more productive than Rust if your problem space allowed for GC. However, the author found them to be equally productive over similar projects that each spanned around 2 years.

The article shares the author's thoughts on why. Some of the reasons: Rust is great at modularity, it has nice language features for programming in the large, and because it scales down to low-level and up to high-level it feels like possibly a universal language.
Mutation events/observers were made for this, glad to see it used for more that devtools.
One protocol for remote casting both single-application and composited desktops with:

1. free (bsd) implementation

2. all the remote use cases of x11, rdp(vnc), ssh (not as a suisse army knife netcat with encryption, the interactive thing for text clients), spice, rdp (not usb/printer), ...

3. at about ~300LoC pre-auth attack surface and less than 4000loc implementation, sandboxable down to read/write syscalls

4. preserves original type (passthrough rather than recompression, native formats for vector content, ...) and identity (tray icon with a popup child, ...)

5. compression/packing based on content type

6. covers both audio/video/exotic input devices (accessibility, games, ...) and (soon) 3d/vr

That can runtime 'jump'/redirect (nearly) seamlessly between devices and change the look and feel to match that of the viewer with special provisions for VM like metadata (clipboard) and input bindings.
> The Paris Agreement is non-binding, virtue-signaling nonsense

"non-binding, virtue-signaling nonsense" is a politician's wet dream. If it made the US look good without actually requiring them to do anything, why did Trump withdraw? Do you even logic?

> Anti-US, Anti-Republican bias is becoming very tiresome.

In that case, make sure you go out and vote. You can help MAGA by voting out the buffoon currently leading that nation. As a bonus, a republican party without Trump and the white supremacists he emboldened would be a party more people will find palatable.

Not-so-humble-brag: I am the first author in the first paper referenced in the linked PDF. I came up with the original PSPACE-completeness proof as well as the model of computation from which this is all based. So, yeah, it's kind of awesome to read this 22 years later while browsing HN.
The title made me think it was about dual/triple monitor setups.

I grew up playing video games and watching tv at the same time, never impacted me back then, but do with phones ... hmmm.
You highlight the word economic as if it is some kind of right-wing conspiracy.

Economics affects us all. It is nothing to do with rich or privileged versus poor. It is to do with the accumulation of wealth versus the consumption (dissaving) of wealth. By economic damage, I am referring to the destruction of wealth, which does not bring any net benefit to a society even if it is "redistributed."

Economic growth, aka, creation of wealth means improved standards of living. Creating wealth is the only way which man improves their standard of living. Without any wealth, your time is consumed entirely on basic survival - you must hunt, gather or scavenge for food just to exist. You can only have any leisure time to invest in other pursuits if you have fed yourself. The way to ensure that you can feed yourself and engage in other pursuits is to accumulate wealth - that is, have some means of feeding yourself without using all of your time for survival. It is no good merely feeding yourself though - if you want healthcare and other luxuries, you need to create excess wealth.

Creation of wealth is not a zero-sum game, which is the fallacy most ancaps seem to hold. By creating wealth, you can improve not only your own standard of living, but also that of your neighbours, and not merely through charity. There are no losers in wealth creation - there are only some that don't do as well as others (which isn't something that needs fixing, because it is not the problem).

> a deep fear of equality and perceived threats to their privileged position in society. Hence, going down with the ship (a good economy & status quo) seem more rational than changing course.

It's more that we don't like seeing the wealth our ancestors worked hard to accumulate being pissed down the drain by people who do nothing but consume, rather than create wealth, and when it is not their wealth to consume in the first place.

By "changing course," you seem to be implying that their exists another course in which more wealth is consumed than created, which obviously has a dire end result: there will be no wealth left, and we will all be back to scavenging for basic survival. You are damn right that continuing economic growth is more rational than such regression.

BTW, I am a big fan of altruism as a means for lifting those who are less fortunate. In order to be altruistic, you must yourself have some capital to expend, or time to volunteer for helpful causes. Only people will such wealth can help their neighbour. If everyone's wealth is in decline, who do you think is going to help the poorest?

Giving more money to the state is not really altruism, but is avoidance of having to be altruistic of ones own volition. You must remember that a large portion of that money you give to the State is used on weapons of war, expansion of a police state which comes with increased abuses of power, and so forth. Are you really sure you want to be giving more of your money to the State?
Define "better". The mocking story and the rspec syntax itself is insanely better than in python. But the actual internals are pretty much comparable in my opinion.
> WaPo and NYT aren't trash but they have fallen mightly

I would imagine its probably because their advertising revenue has been falling down because of the internet. You have to be flexible with your standards when your revenue is declining.
No, racism is not an inherent human feature. A claim like that needs better justification than ... none at all.
Is `kLabelPlaceholder` an absolute or relative address? If it's absolute, you start executing at `kLabelPlaceholder`. If it's relative, you start executing at `buf + kLabelPlaceholder`. You could see the final value if you compile with debug info and run the binary under `gdb` or some other debugger.

What is "the issue" he's referencing?
I think most of us use Pandas for data exploration and one-offs, so it is completely reasonable to discuss what our likely use of RAM is going to be in this circumstance.

Web application using Pandas and "highly optimized web application" would seem to be nearly disjoint sets...
Is it always a mistake for the BOM cost to be higher than it hypothetically could be? Can't a designer reasonably trade off some BOM cost for other things such as development cost?
Exactly this.

The revelations with Snowden were in the details of things people already knew at a high level. People knew about the NSA's Echelon program, but didn't know things like how they tapped the un-encrypted intra-datacenter links.
Platforms have the problem of scale. If I don't like how facebook or twitter are contributing to the information ecosystem I could go hang out on Gab or some other niche platform - but the tradeoff is that the people I want to interact with aren't there. These systems are inertial - while it is a great idea that future platforms should implement design choices that incentivize a well informed public and discourage conspiracy-mongering and misinformation that doesn't fix the issues with the current information ecosystem for years if not decades to come. Even if users were well informed about content moderation policies (they aren't), and users were rational actors (they're not), there are other goods involved that prevent that sort of ordered transition scenario. Frankly large scale platforms need to make significant changes to how they handle their role in information-space.
You're probably right, it's just that I'm more of a programmer than a web designer (this is my first site) so I just built everything with Clojure/Clojurescript. But I'll definitely do that once I have some time.
> There's no scientific reason we are aware of that would make living in artificial habitats worse than living on a planet, and a lot of reasons that it would be better. It's just that those of us talking now live on a planet, and find the idea of continuing to live on a planet comforting.

But this is just so obviously backwards. Your assumption is that an artificial environment would be monotonically better to live in than the one in which we evolved? There's simply no evidence for it, and if you take a look at how the people on the ISS live, a strong argument against it. As for scientific caveats...well bone density and muscle mass loss in low-g (pretty much every target location for colonization) are fairly well substantiated, as well as the cosmic ray issue, which is even harder to deal with.
Wait until they require Widevine or some other DRM crap. Then, with the help of your CPU's Trusted Execution Environment, the video will only be decrypted in memory locations you're prevented from accessing.
I think it just shows you how much time people spend watching TV, so much that they have (or at least think they have) consumed all the worthy content on Netflix.

I wonder how many HNers would be happier if they replaced their excess TV consumption with something more fulfilling than working out how they can subscribe part-time to every service just so they can watch even more.

Aside, add "The Alienist" to that list. Great period piece in early New York with Dakota Fanning and Luke Evans. Has nothing to do with aliens btw.
> He is more concerned with upholding the principle of the first amendment than supporting the ideology of the moment. Supressing information because its not convenient at the moment is the very definition of hack journalism. Something he wants no part of.

This is a pretty uncharitable read. The Intercept's issue with Greenwald's article is not that it is "not convenient," but that Greenwald doesn't adequately support his own conclusions on a story with tenuous evidence. That's not hack journalism; that's journalism. Journalists and editors are obligated to review stories and ask the question "is what we are reporting true? is it relevant? is it timely?" and if the answer to any of those is "no" or "we're not sure," to hold off. THAT'S the standard that The Intercept is using, and that's where Greenwald fell short. Anything less is the very definition of hack journalism.
I don't think that you'd ever want to literally have sliding mechanics. However, the dual rail logic used is a type of reversible computation. Thus, thermodynamically it is theoretically much more efficient than standard (irreversible) computation because bits are never erased (which accounts for most of the energy loss).
While you can‘t configure it per recipient in Outlook, changing the message format is basically a single click in the message editor (you may even be able to bind it to a keyboard shortcut). Talking about desktop Windows Outlook here.
I'm going to try to describe something I only half understand in the hopes that someone who does fully understand it will come by and provide a better description.

For normal PC hardware, you have a SATA controller, the device company commits a driver for it to the Linux kernel tree, and thereafter every subsequent version of Linux can use the SATA controller in any device with that kind of SATA controller. If the device company doesn't provide a driver but the hardware is popular, somebody else reverse engineers the chip and eventually the same result obtains. Likewise for the network controller, the GPU and so on.

Typical ARM devices like cellphones are beleaguered by some kind of shameful omnishambles whereby that doesn't work. The device maker provides a hideous binary blob with the device, it only works with that specific kernel version and everything is terrible. The exact source of the tragedy is the part I'm not quite clear on.

But making whatever that is not apply to RISC-V boards would be highly satisfactory.
The software industry is starving for senior software engineers who can lead a team of software engineers. Brainy and skilled is where it's at.
Seems to be heavily flagged.
