Well now that you told me, I found the 12pt text that is the same color as the hundreds of other links on the page. But when I looked, trying to find it, I could not.
Well one issue is that too much of this development has been one sided. What needs to be done is force standardization of road markings and signaling and correct it where it is not compliant. So these systems have had to accept the fact that ideal conditions never exist.

The easiest opportunity in the US would have been to dress up the HOV and Express lanes and use them. They have controlled access and are specifically marked already to distinguish them from other lanes. however too many seem bent on doing it all at once for everywhere.

And the market currently has intel at a price/earning of 9. Pretty much the lowest of any tech company. If you have any semblance of hope for intel it's a solid buy.
Women do benefit from likeability bias though, and likeability is certainly a factor when hiring and firing.

As for fake resume studies, the problem with those is that male and female resumes are evaluated differently. If they made a male looking resume and sent it out with a female name it will do badly. But a female looking resume with a male name will also do badly.
Thank you for the detailed explanation.

So any interaction with the file would put it in memory will do. Of course assuming that you interact with the whole file.

So if you have a big file and use "head", I guess it will not be enough. But you use "less" and scroll the whole thing you achieve the same result as in the command above right?

Stock value is a view on whatever people want to think it is. If you look at pure financials, INTC is very undervalued. It's a dividend stock, it's trading at a PE of 9. Do we really think that Intel has lower growth potential than Exxon or AT&T?
You are using the internet wrong.

It has become too popular, and so the most popular content is what sells to "the masses".

There is still niche content out there that is a lot more like "the old internet" and that is fun to discover.

For example, I often tune into a daily livestream on Youtube by a former pirate radio host in Limerick, which is viewed by only 10-30 people - very fun and definitely gives you a different perspective.

Then there are some obscure Russian personal blogs on livejournal.com.

All the content is still there, it's just that there are many more "internet tourist traps" now.
Up until now, the bottom bar was all for the user: profile, my likes and notifications, search, go home. Profile, home, and search are still there, but right in the middle are two content buttons, dispersing notifications to what looks like the top bar? Is instagram really that focused on pushing content (especially shopping) just a little closer to your thumb? It's all very interesting.

Edit: I missed the main point, the create a post button is gone, making it easier to consume and shop than to add content, and revealing the value of the average user's posts, I guess.

>Obviously some things are going to be bothersome, such as the idea of people holding business meetings in your living room when you are away.

and also stupid, since the needs of a business meeting are rather different than the needs of a living room, and living rooms must service all sorts of people and families.

And finally families own stuff because kids need and want stuff, you're not going to have your kids favorite doll delivered when they want to play with it.

I was biased when I married, I’m biased when I pick people I’ll spend time with, I’m biased when I apply for a job, and wouldn’t like it to be any other way... Of course, unless it’s me deciding for everyone else what they should optimize for their decision making process.

You could still use Nancy. It sucks a whole lot less than the pile of abstractions that have been built into ASP.NET lately.
This paper is a prime example of not accounting for Simpson's paradox:
"These numbers suggest that women and White applicants are proportionally more likely to get hired compared to their counterparts."
No, you haven't given us the men/women breakdown by ethnicity. It may actually be that there is an over-representation of women in the white category compared to other ethnicities, and therefore the bias towards hiring females carries with it a bias towards hiring white.
However it's possible that if you compare ethnicities separately between men and women you might find no racial discimination exists.

(and vice versa for ethnicity vs gender).

The fact that they don't show these breakdowns is a major weakness of this study.

Or strength. Depending on whether the desired metric is scientific correctness, or political marketability.
The benchmark has to be read with some knowledge. For example Plaintext is given you an indicator how good the runtime and the HTTP stack is. JSON goes one step further and gives you the comparison with common REST APIs including JSON serialization. One step further is then there is Fortune which also includes some DB layer and should representative for applications.

However, also check the definition of the rows. With Plaintext there are 3-10 entries for ASP.NET Core with different level of comfort (from "do not do that at home", to express like middlewares to "rails like MVC")

I had been looking for an alternative to Google Picasa for browsing my own photos and finally came across one that I think is a pretty good fit.

Not really a cloud replacement, but it works pretty well for what it is.
The idea of riding a motorbike terrifies me. I cycle regularly for fun and exercise, I do about 45 km at an average speed of about 30 km/h, and I have a couple of near misses every time I go out.

Whether it's someone opening their door on me, someone pulling out in front of me (either because they haven't seen me or they don't realise how fast you can go on a bike), or someone passing me so close I'd be able to rap on their window, or a myriad of other reasons.

I'm fully lit up day and night, I have high vis socks, reflective shoes, reflective strips on my bibs and jersey, I have a rear radar, my front light at full beam is as bright as a car headlight on main beam, and I cycle about a metre out from the kerb. Not sure what else I can do.

Having all those same issues, plus travelling at a much greater speed? No thanks.

Not judging people who enjoy motorcycles, I've bombed down a country lane which I know well (has no turn offs, good surface) at 80 km/h on my bike so I can well understand the thrill being on a motorbike must give you. I would just never get on one myself.
I too am skeptical (but happy to be proven wrong) about Honda's L3 claims. I think the "automaker optimism" is really just referring to Tesla loudly claiming they "will hit L5 this year" every year since 2015 while continuing to struggle. I don't see other automakers making such aggressive promises, thankfully.
That your post is on the top shows the "white male" bias in hackernews audience. People are up-voting your personal anecdote and your "I am a white male victim" post more than the discussions about the actual results on the original article.

Embark – Our Continued Journey
Hi Joe, you will probably find more resources on the Max side. Lots of people build things like this and talk about them on the Max forums, and then they can be run either in Live (as M4L devices) or aside live (syncing and piping audio in over soundflower or similar) or both. The Cycling 74 forum and the Max/MSP facebook group have a lot of traffic and helpful posts. For whatever reason it seems like those are more active for what you're talking about than the actual max4live pages/forums, which are generally more about using devices than building them. There are some differences when you run something in max 4 live, but they are pretty small and not hard to figure out (i.e. Live owns the tempo, you have access to live DOM, etc). I would highly recommend the Cipriani and Giri books on Max, which will give you everything you need to get your loop controller working just as you want it! It's definitely doable. When I was doing shows with Live, I basically never used the Ableton UI after setting up my device chains and midi maps, all realtime interaction was through my own scripts and objects. Good luck! maybe see you on the forums. :-)
Ask HN: When will skin color be as uninteresting to talk about as hair color?
It seems the extreme left has become increasingly interested in skin color and segregating identities based on race. I was raised to be colorblind and I know in my core that race has no effect on a persons character. When will race be as important as skin or eye color?
You can give up and lose or you can try again and maybe even win. If your environment sucks that's just one more reason to improve it.

When I graduated, there were absolutely no jobs in machine learning and I used to get blank looks when I told people about my work. Fortunately, I was able to get a job in the systems field and worked there for many years. I was able to get back into machine learning about 8 years ago and am semi-retired now.

I'm not complaining as I was always well paid in my career. But sometimes, being too early in a field can be as bad as being too late :-)
People (especially video professionals) tend to not use QuickSync because the quality is pretty low and you have very limited ability to tune the results. It's optimized for real time encoding and not high quality or small file sizes. I think on H.264 it's about equivalent to the x264 veryfast preset, no clue how the H.265 quality stacks up, only the more recent Intels even support that. NVENC has better quality, but still a software two-pass encode will give much better results.

It's the same on these phone chips, sure the encode is much quicker, but it's not a fair comparison because you have much more control over the process using software. We'll have to wait and see how the quality and file size on the M1 encoder stacks up.
So you believe YT's growth rate == 0?
At this one job, we had only two remotely viable candidates for an open position. I was on the hiring committee, as I often was in those days.

Candidate A: Had worked in the industry, had all of the qualifications, already chock-full of some interesting ideas I wanted to hear more of from the interview alone. Excited at the prospect.

Candidate B: Had never worked in the industry, had only a handful of qualifications, barely responsive. Seemed indifferent to getting the job. Additionally, not too fluent in English, to the point where it was more than a little difficult to communicate.

Candidate A was a white man, Candidate B was a recent immigrant and a woman. The immediate supervisor for the position -- a woman -- wanted Candidate A, as did most others. However, the person running the show said, out loud I might add, that our group already had "too many pale males." I would like to repeat that: too many pale males. A significant glance was then cast at me and the guy in the wheelchair on the hiring committee, both being not-particularly-dark men. Presumably by "virtue" of our disabilities we would automatically be down for the Diversity Squad.

Candidate B was hired and turned out exactly as she was in the interview: disinterested in doing the job, lacking even some bare understanding of how to accomplish many things, always trying to find ways to do her grad school homework while on the job and pushing off her duties on someone else, rather than trying to learn her tasks. Her poor English was a significant barrier. She remained a leaden weight until she went off to be someone else's problem. She wasn't a drag due to her skin color or sex, but she was hired because of those things.

My guess is that this kind of discrimination (I use that word specifically) goes on all the time in at least some segments of the industry.

I tend to support these things but only if they are brief and consistent. The more you add the more loopholes pop up and the more it's likely to piss people off.

Some examples where you can see reasonable people starting to take issue:

>The only exception to sexual topics is channels/spaces specifically for topics of sexual identity.

Eh, why? Why should there be any sexual topics at all? Why do sexual preferences of a certain kind give you a pass to breach an otherwise taboo subject here?

>Making light of/making mocking comments about trigger warnings and content warnings.

Why? Even people who use these can make light of them sometimes. Imagine a thread starting with "TW: copyright fetishism" that's funny for a service that lets you stream your own purchased music to your friends and family!

>Any attempt to present “reverse-ism” as examples of oppression. Examples of reverse-isms are “reverse racism”, “reverse sexism”, “heterophobia”, and “cisphobia”.

Again, these things can and do happen. Different groups and communities have different norms. And it's human nature to punish/mock deviance from the norm. That can happen to anyone. I totally get that there is a longer andore fleshed out history of racism in, say, the US against black people than against anyone else. But still, this seems unnecessary and guaranteed to cause problems...

>Any of the above even when presented as “ironic” or “joking”.

They will ignore this of course when anyone jokes about how conservatives or whoever is a racist / sexist / etc.

I actually like the anti-meritocracy statement. If people take the time to read it, they'll find it largely agreeable. I strongly dislike the code of conduct though. That's guaranteed to stir up conflicts.
The intent is to allow even earlier preloading than what `Link` headers in the response or `<link>` in the HTML would typically allow. The insight here is that most application servers/webservers get a request and only send the response headers all at once, with the body, once everything is ready. But many times you already know some static resources ahead of time, before you know what response to send back.

For example, if you make a request for `GET /users/id/12345`, you know the user probably needs `style.css` like most do. You put that into a `Link` header in the response. But the browser won't fetch that file until it is told about it. It will only be told about it once it has seen the entire response, because again, the server (probably) sends it all at once, body and headers together, anyway.

But, producing that page in the first place may require running database queries for user info, your template engine to get run for the page body, an external HTTP call to happen in the background for their Gravatar, etc. So all of that has to happen on the server side before style.css can be fetched by the client browser. Even though you (the developer) knew they (the client) probably needed it. Let's say that `GET` request needs 500ms of computation (DB query + API call) before a reply is sent. That means the client has to wait at least 500ms for the server to produce any Link headers -- 500ms before it can fetch style.css. More importantly, it's literally 500ms where the client browser does nothing while it waits, while it could be concurrently downloading other assets, for example.

With Early Hints, when someone issues a `GET /users/id/12345`, the server can immediately reply using an Early Hint and tell the client about style.css first-thing. Then the client can immediately go fetch style.css, without waiting 500ms for the server to produce the body, or the headers, or even anything at all.

One interesting advantage of this is that, like Link headers, but unlike Server Push, early hints can be statically computed at at "application build time." You just need a mapping of URIs to URIs, like preload. So you can imagine for example your Django Middleware or Rails App or NodeJS Thing-Doer might have a step where it calculate asset dependencies for your frontend, and has a middleware layer that automatically issues 103 Early Hints for statically known page assets. And unlike Push, Early Hints are client-controlled. A big problem with Push is that it has no knowledge of the client-side cache, so it can push assets unnecessarily and cause slowdown. Early hints has no such drawback; the client has complete knowledge of its cache state and can make the correct decision.
This is a great point and one reason I am left scratching my head when considering building applications on the JAM stack.

We are working on a solution to this with WeBase [1] and I'd love to see us do an integration with Netlify here where you build with WeBase and host on Netlify (and get automatic API integration with your data models).

No, but neither photos or e-mail sizes today are anything like what they used to be either. And remember the quota is the general Google Account quota, not separate to photos. I already have 8GB of other data in Drive.

Most of Googles products are also geared towards encouraging people to develop a habit of not deleting things, which creates a very different situation.

So while this may not be a big problem at the moment, we'll see. I see Photos suggest that at my current rate it'll last ~4 years before I'll need to start paying, which isn't awful, but it's a question of when not if, and image / video sizes still keep creeping up.

That's with my photo-taking being at a far lower rate than it used to be when my son was younger. I'm not a very social person and don't travel much at the moment - a lot of people will hit those limits far faster.
According to these slides, each stripe is a separate replication group. Although the figure depicts replicated rather than erasure coded files, I think it's safe to imagine that the idea holds for both.
