Hehe I engage with people like that all the time and I think I’ve learned a lot. In my humble opinion the people who are easily offended aren’t really worth discussing difficult problems with. Actually I find that I learn a lot more from people who don’t get hung up when their ego happens to unintentionally get bruised.

What a load of bolax. A language is nothing more than a hammer or a saw. PHP is just like the other languages you mentioned very mature. It's up to the developer to make good furniture. Entirely different skillset and not linked to a language.
I have seen low level drivers for hardware written in PHP operating for over 15 years. I have seen JavaScript used in a medical device.
You sound like that creepy negative 'you don't wanna hire' developer complaining about everything you have never worked with.

Can someone give a useful example of HTTP/2 Push being used?

I believe I understand how it works but I'm curios what IRL techniques could be achieves.
Users tend not to think about these sort of trade offs at all. Users will also complain about not having the features they want just as readily as they will complain about something being slow.

But that’s really besides the point. As long as an application is fast enough that a user doesn’t notice a problem with it, then you’re done optimizing for performance (in most cases at least). So if new hardware comes out that’s twice as fast, you could very sensibly keep the performance at the same acceptable level, and use the new performance budget in other ways. Such as by introducing various inefficiencies via abstractions that make feature development faster.
She has been advancing her agenda for a while by strategically picking fights, and winning them because she's been on the right side of a political wave and knew how to ride it. Then she got blinded by her own success and overplayed her hand, a classic cautionary tale. Fun fact: many people, not necessarily managers, won't be shedding tears seeing her go.

Moving to the UK from Norway was a shock to me in the sheer length of employment contracts. Prior to that most of my contracts had been a single page: Norwegian law regulates default terms so strictly that long contracts are rarely needed. In fact, they are hard to make enforceable, because any additional concession to the employer needs to be justified, usually by extra consideration. But many rights are inalienable.

It's a recognition that few employer-employee relationship approaches a negotiation between equals.

Companies discontinue products all the time due to acquisitions, bankruptcy, restructuring or simply re-orienting investment and I've never seen them held to this standard of having to host it somewhere external. I'm not even really sure how that would work.

> Why would a developer be in charge of testing the user experience from the user perspective?

I can count on one hand the number of companies I've worked at in the last decade who had in-house QA teams. Most companies just rely on the developers to test their (our) own code. The exceptions are banks, gamedev companies and big corp products (like Windows).

Most web software I've seen - especially in the startup world - just assumes that "it works well enough on the developers' specced out mac" means it works. The most tragic version of this I saw was our app looking awful on a ‘normal’ 19” desktop monitor. The problem was our designers did all their work from 27" imacs. They never thought to design and test on smaller displays. Or the designers placing adjacent colors that look great on color graded displays but are almost indistinguishable on the trashy 6 bit TN displays that were ubiquitous in offices a few years ago.

Even in companies with dedicated QA I haven't seen many tickets of the form of "the program runs slowly on this old computer we have". Sadly the creeping performance rot is mostly invisible.
These are not philosophical questions.

>This is not surprising. Black faces and White faces are not the same data manifold.

in particular because features contrast (dynamic range) is lower for darker faces.

>Is the width of their convolutions racist?

Not width. As a result of the above mentioned lower contrast, the racist here is the sensitivity of the resulting Gabor filters produced by the training in the first convolution layers and the Gauss filters in the next layer's. I suspect to deal with that problem one would have to normalize dynamic range of the faces, i.e. it would look something like kind of lightening of the dark faces and/or darkening of the white ones.
I guess it's good for outsiders but pretty bad, inaccurate and overhyped for insiders.
golang is basically Java pre-generics. Working with large golang codebases is quite annoying and error prone, partly due to the lack of generics. They didn't get it right at all.

Neither of us are on her team at Google. (I'm certainly not and I doubt you are.) We have no idea how easy it is to work with her.

Certainly if I were working with an AI ethics researcher I would expect them to ask difficult and uncomfortable questions. I think that's part of the job description.

It's also commonly used in astronomy to measure the distance on the sky between two objects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula

I could imagine these could be useful to be defined by computer libraries, as (see article) it would help reduce large reductions in accuracy for some calculations (e.g. by subtracting similar numbers, or wanting to calculate sin^2).

It’s funny that you say all this. DNA (and many actual living things like plants) last a REALLY LONG time under correct conditions. We haven’t got any kind of digital storage with even remotely that level of information density that would last that long without extreme degradation. DNA can last hundreds of years at non-freezing temperatures and still be read, and for thousands of years frozen.
Frozen embryos will eventually become a vital source of information for future historians. Simply defrost one, wait for it to learn to talk and then you can get first hand information about the historical period from which the embryo hails.

Why game development? It's useful everywhere! I have never found a genuine usage of atan(), it's always atan2() that is natural to use.
Yep, Star Trek computers understand addressing, the conversation is modal: one does not need to begin every sentence with the keyword, a first use of the hotword (or implicitly in some cases, like entering a turbolift) combined with a specific tone makes the computer “open” the conversation. From then on, tone only is sufficient for the computer to know when it is being addressed. With a conversation opened, context is remembered.

I am flabbergasted that the following hasn’t been an option:

- W X and Z

- Play the first one

- <playing W>

- thank you Siri

Also, with attention tracking that -already- exists with the FaceID array, the phone can know when it is addressed and when it’s not. You know, just like when you’re talking to someone, you usually look at them...

Having worked on large golang code bases, I'd take Java exceptions anytime. golang error handling is not only atrocious (you end up having to manually re-invent exceptions anyway), but also error prone and dangerous.
There were concept houses in Germany, where they had a water tank of 6 cubic meters which was heated through the summer via thermal solar collectors and stored enough energy for the house heating in the winter (and even in the winter the collectors would collect heat on sunny days).
There's always a price to pay for all the innovation that happens in SV. It's just that it ends up being paid by the people rather than by the companies. Companies can afford to pay for the most exclusive of bodyguards, the government.
Virtual Whiteboard in Jira Cloud
I know, I was just surprised because .it used to be fairly strict (I’m Italian but I’ve lived abroad for a long time, so it was annoying for me). It looks like they’ve since relaxed the rules so that anybody in EU or with Italian citizenship can register, which is a weird halfway measure but I guess it wouldn’t feel like Italy without some meaningless bureaucracy.
The issue is that not all users can buy that new hardware that’s twice as fast.
Jira is bad for a completely different reason. Jira is bad because Atlassian has grown from a company that sold software to its users, to a company that sells software to people who work in corporate procurement. Atlassian only has to impress two people to make a sale now. The person box ticking the features, and the person who wants to see the reports that it produces, and neither of those people are the ones who actually use the software.

For me this was a good starting point.

The obvious solution is not to let cold water flow into the water heater unless you have the electricity to heat it - and if needed make it a bit larger so there is more buffering capacity.

Because, especially at early-stage phases, many decisions will depend on them. So, their way of doing things, the culture they want will depend on these decisions. In other words, if they're an assholes when it comes to managing a business, they'll probably fail.
> Why isn't anyone studying the Arabic states as UBI models?

Perceived cultural differences, possibly leading to more interesting, uncomfortable parallels than many would like. On the ground in the kingdom, in the field, there is an enormous cultural bias towards status, and low-status jobs are shunned. This is made more complex because of a subtle, more recent cultural bias that emerged from having foreigners perform almost all the work for so long, and foreigners in Wahhabi faith as it is practically practiced (in theory it is different) are considered inferior in an unenlightened sense. A halo effect emerged around private jobs, and now any job at all that used to be performed by foreigners is considered low(er) status.

This is changing rapidly and gaining steam in numbers at the margins with many younger generations. I've met some incredibly brilliant, young KSA native engineers. Many are working hard to reverse the rot the Resource Curse visited upon the kingdom.

However, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that kingdom's experience as unique to it, saying that does not apply to America or many other developed nations. Considering the penchant for superficial solutions, get-rich-quick adulation, and de facto class stratifications in all developed nations, I'm not sanguine a UBI would elicit much better results than a Resource Curse. Norway is an exception that proves the rule, from what I've seen so far.

And I wouldn't point fingers at just nations, either. Even here on HN, where startups with fast 10-1,000X liquidity events receive gallons of ink compared to the inkjet droplets miserly begrudged to to self-funding, slow organic growth companies, we engage in similar dynamics.

Making someone or a nation fabulously wealthy and/or powerful doesn't change them, it only discloses their true character and moral fiber. The uncomfortable truth is a substantial portion of us, whether at the individual or nation-state level, when granted free reign with no one saying "No", are jerks. IMHO UBI is like pure communism or pure capitalism: they only sustainably and consistently work if the vast majority (I'd personally guess around 95%) are truly not jerks, and thus have the means to keep the levers of power away from those who are.

BTW, I'm one of those jerks. Maybe not the biggest douche-canoe you've ever met, but I'm definitely a jerk, though I chip away at that.
If you order all possible draws and assign an index to each counting up from 1, we can ask "which pattern is not suspicious" by index. The first such one we identify in that list (with the smallest index) will end up being suspicious for being the first non-suspicious pattern .. and that's a contradiction. So either all draws are to be suspected or none of them ;P
golang definitely did not get it right. golang errors are error prone, I've seen several cases in production code where they were either accidentally ignored or overwritten. Makes it terrible for writing safe software.
The polymath gentleman scholar who pursued & learned the key points in those fundamental subjects over a lifetime would be functionally becoming familiar with a much greater percentage of the total publications up to that point than we could ever accomplish today. A difference like night and day, or a significant percentage of academic literature studied versus an insignificant percentage resulting from the same intensity of lifetime study.

Well this is just academic knowledge. Which is a tremendous advantage, but when you include everything else known about western civilization at the time, there's a much lesser percentage difference. And when you bring in the whole world, we're in the same state of confusion as 300 years ago.

You have to go back a lot closer to the cave man for us to be much more fully baffled.

Even though there sure are a lot more people now spending lifetimes making things un-necessarily complex, it's been pretty gonzo the whole time.

I would also say we may now just be more aware of our complete misunderstanding.

I think it applies to emerging complexity not much differently than it did in antiquity.

Regardless of what you are saturated with, anything more is an overload.

Note: it's just the greatest recession this century. So far. Well, probably until now. The century's still young. Plenty of people saw 2008 coming, even more knew it was inevitable, and way way more than that FELT a downturn like that was going to happen sooner rather than later.

I've been in contract with the leading bank in my country ever since they introduced their "online focused" branch and never had any issues nor have I directly paid for any of the provided services.
Now, every time I saw someone work through software of some other bank, it was an atrocious experience.

So, look into the offer of the largest bank in your country. It's most often the main bank in your country. If they promise to not bill you for the services you need, there is nothing to lose from switching to them.

Before the draw every set of numbers has the same probability of coming up. Your expected win differs on the uniqueness of the numbers you choose though, so you might as well choose unique ones.

Yes, of course you can say ex post that you should have picked the numbers that won, but that's not really useful.
The point is, a failing turbine makes not a noticable dent in the electricity production when there are tens of thousands of turbines. At that scale, the number of turbines which are shut down for failures/maintenance becomes a constant. A huge power plant going down in an instant is another problem however.

Perfectly determining company data from personal data on a personal device is impossible. "We would never access your personal data" means "we would never access your personal data deliberately, only accidentally in the course of an investigation of your work-related activities". Obviously no company is ever going to sign an agreement promising to do something impossible like perfectly avoid inspecting any personal data during a device audit. The person from the story might as well have been asking for the moon.

If they are well prepared then they will actually do better after the oil is gone. The resource curse results in countries focusing on a few narrow industries. Resource extraction is easy but it only benefits those who are directly employed by it. Usually governments don't make it easy for other types of businesses to flourish because they can entirely support themselves on resource extraction.
Daniel Stenberg: Twitter lockout, again
I mean, I completely agree with you. As a non-American, the concept of "at-will" employment is utterly bizarre to me.

But, as a matter of practicality, it's less likely that, after you've signed your contract, Google comes to you on your first day and says "I'm altering the terms of our deal, pray I don't alter it further".

This is all mostly about managing unexpected risks, and my point is that it's actually pretty common for contracts to contain/omit clauses that you really take issue with. I'm just saying it's prudent to know what you're getting yourself into before you up stakes and move cities.

14.1, but it seems to have stabilised and working well.

Comments so far:

1. I really enjoy the deep integration with iOS, I have not experienced an app that works in this way.

2. It would be great if the notes attached to a contact were saved in the iOS contacts notes, as from my testing this didn't seem to be the case.

3. I would like to be able to export all data into some format, and ideally import from a standard format as well.

Thank you for creating this, I've been using Notion which often feels too slow and separate from the flow of "keeping in touch".
in my previous job, as a PM, I was creating tickets all the time to work on the speed of the app, but the developers didn't not want to work on them, they were saying the users don't care.

The reality is that they didn't know how to fix the speed issues.
