> After almost 4 years, I made the difficult decision to leave Facebook, and 12/30/20 was my last day at FB. I've had a great experience in a difficult, fun, fast-growing and impactful role at the company working with amazing people

From internet:

> At Facebook, RSUs are subject to a 4-year vesting schedule: 25% vests in the 1st year (5% every 2.4 months), then 25% in each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years (6.25% every 3 months)

I guess good for him to enjoy his wealth now. I wish him good health.
Amusingly, I was warned away from using Petri nets as the execution model for a workflow manager because "you can't prove the net will ever complete". Since then I've used several large-scale petri net-based workflow engines that ran large-scale industrial computing projects without problems, so I think that complaint was excessively theoretical.
I like his observation about unsupervised tinkering with dangerous chemicals as a childhood gateway into the sciences, but I don't know what to do with it. How do you _effectively_ convince your community that the gain in scientific curiosity is worth the small potential for disaster?
You cant decouple this (fully) with UBI. Only a little research is done at a desk, a lot need equipment, sometimes very expensive. With UBI you just get the time but not the stuff.

I wish smartwatch templates adopt more multiple programmable buttons. Nice to have a functional media remote during winter with gloves on. Pepple got so much right.
So it's a form of doublespeak?
What do you make from someone like Kary Mullis?

On one hand he did create one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 20th century, the PCR.

OTOH he was a denier of the HIV virus role as a cause of Aids and actively supported South Africa's president Tabo Mbeki on a disastrous policy of ignoring the transmission of the disease.

I take that everyone's opinions must always be taken cautiously, even the opinion of smart men in their own areas of expertise.
Max Gergel, mentioned in passing here, wrote a delightfully insane memoir entitled “Excuse Me Sir, Would You Like To Buy A Kilo Of Isopropyl Bromide?” full of some pretty hair-raising stories:

Sure, but most people accept that flaws are inevitable. It's not practical (or profitable) for most industries to produce totally flaw-free software.

If you can't stop the flaws, the next best option is to shield yourself from those flaws harming your financial well being.
Lack of NFC :(

But probably even if it had it it wouldn't work with Google/Apple Pay, for me payments using my watch would be the best application of "smart" together with notifications.
I just have a weekly budget set to 11.000 THB. This money is used for food, small trips, clothing, groceries, etc... (10.000 THB is about 333 USD right now).

I pay my health and car insurance once a year and also health insurance for my girlfriend and daughter. That might equal another 90.000 THB total.

I try to maintain a 10.000 USD (about 300.000 THB) buffer in my TransferWise account. For emergencies or periods with no income.

Everything above I am free to invest in stock and crypto (mainly Bitcoin).
He said companies don’t get special deals, but then I don’t know what else to call the deal they made with Amazon, where Amazon can bypass Apple’s payment system for some users.
File system corruption is unforgivable mistake, but FS work is really hard to get right. Even stuff like VMware corrupts shared folders ... wherever they try to bypass a driver translation layer. Just Google for “vmware shared folder corruption”

This is probably HyperV. I’ve seen exactly this ext4 corruption in production on windows server 2012R2 with CentOS 7. Even to the point that the machine remounts root read only. Unfortunately our windows operations guys are severely lacking in diagnostic savvy and just reboot the machine over and over again or blast it and provision a new one and don’t analyse the problem.

From what I’ve seen it’s a combination of the storage drivers and the storage virtualisation in HyperV rather than a specific issue. I imagine it’s something similar in WSL.

I really don’t trust it as a platform at all. It’s barely better with windows guests.

I don’t know that I’d call it doublespeak. There’s a lot to be said for defining a job in terms of what it’s trying to produce rather than what it’s trying to fight.
Predictable (low) pauses. Ability to (easily) embed into other language/app as library/plugin.
I think doublespeak is when the two meanings are opposite, no? This sounds more like your standard corporate euphemism

Most software and digital services follow this trajectory.
I just implemented a recurring subscription in a nocode platform called Bubble using Stripe. I love the intuitive API support and documentation of Stripe. Also, the Stripe brand seems to give a lot of credibility to the service provided by my client.
I believe it is a criminal act under this law to lie about it (there are other laws that make it illeagal to lie on government forms), so you would be committing a paperwork process crime which USG loves to enforce. Signing the false form would literally be mailing evidence of a crime to FinCen.
Actually not at all: the elegant design of the difficulty adjustment means that even if the price of electricity went up or down by 10x, the rate of new Bitcoin issuance would change only temporarily.

I haven't met any Bitcoiner who wouldn't want CO2 emissions to be heavily taxed.

The problem with proof of stake that it decreases the security of the system. There are many ways to trade security of Bitcoin for convenience and extra features (Ethereum is a great example), but so far it seems that the market chooses security.

Defy not with 4MB of storage.
poor quality joke alert Maybe Microsoft still believe Linux and the GPL are a 'cancer' and WSL2 is there to attack it?
Gp is talking about at the federal level, where that is indeed the number. You probably had to pay state taxes, those have much lower limits in some states.
Happy new year everyone! Having a source of news that focuses on science and technology rather than politics has been a great way to keep from “doom scrolling”. I’ve learned quite a lot from the community throughout the year and I’m grateful to be a part of it!
His official title was Dir. of Product Management, which as you probably know, does not project integrity either.
Well, each 'message' is different from the last one, taken from a group of text files. Actually, I built this for fun while learning SDN, not as a replacement for motd (or similar). Sorry about not introducing the thing in a separate comment.
There are reduced rates of VAT for certain categories of products and services so payment processors would need to know what the charge they are processing is for.

It's not uncommon for invoices to include multiple VAT rates in certain industries so that would add another level of complexity.

A grocery store will charge different rates for essentials and non-essentials, a builder will charge different rates for materials and services, and there are probably other examples that apply to online sales too.
I'm a libhurdurian and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. A public goods argument can be made for strategic investments.

I also don't think it's been conclusively shown that there have been "repeated successes with this style of investment". Demonstrating that would require knowing what the opportunity cost of the spending for these projects was, which is impossible. Claiming it's an open-and-shut case that these kinds of investments will yield positive results is just as ideological as you accuse dissenters of being.
Agreed. I moved from smart watches back to an old Casio sgw-100. Battery life is the main reason. It's nice just to always have a watch that works, and be able to go on camping trips and really be able to rely on the device.

I've changed the battery once in 2 years (and that was simply preventative). The fact that it just keeps on working for years at a time is a nice contrast to basically every other modern device.
So if humans became immortal* and couldn't feel pain anymore then they should not have rights anymore?

* I assume that with "alive" you mean "can die", because I see no other reason why "being alive" could be relevant to your argument.
So Rust is Scala but with some extra complicated additional syntax around borrowing references and generic lifetime constraints.
Weighted by distance between capitals perhaps.
GPS enables distance tracking of runs that aren’t on tracks. It could also allow turn by turn navigation if this thing had an sd card slot (4mb of storage isn’t going to carry many maps).

You could also use it as a bike speedometer or a running pace monitor.

(Though, the battery may be too small for all these use cases.)
I agree it is generally not what people consider virtualization today, but it was still a form of early virtualization. It was amazing for the time, letting people run most of their DOS apps under Windows 386.

(Note VMware Workstation, as another poster pointed out, and even earlier "emulation" solutions like Bochs existed before 2003.)
I mean, "Advertising Integrity" and "Facebook" shouldn't appear in the same sentence. Amazon is bad enough with fake reviews and retailers that ship terrible products when advertising them as something better.

So it takes a lot to make me think something is worse and meaner to consumers than Amazon. But sure enough, Facebook is it. Their ads are about 60% complete scams, from what I can tell. I get all these ads for $200 Lego sets for $30! And there are hundreds of comments from people who have bought. Guarantee they all got 1 Lego brick in the mail 8 weeks later, and the site that sold it to them is gone.

This would be bad if it was an occasional thing, but most Facebook ads I see are EXACTLY like this. Bait and switch. They send you a thing so you can't claim they didn't send you anything, but Facebook is making bank off of these dishonest scammers and seems not only not to care, but to encourage it. Oh and the thing they send you is from China, so sending it back costs more than you spent.
That depends on where you buy. If you buy a Dell UltraSharp you can expect that there will be no dead pixels. But that's not because Dell has technology that completely prevents them, it's because Dell has good QC. If you buy a cheap screen from a manufacturer that does less QC you might seldomly have stuck pixels. And of course there are the bottom-of-the-barrel suppliers that buy whatever other suppliers discard because of QC defects. There's always someone who will buy a screen with a couple dead pixels if it's half the price.

I don't know where pine falls, I would guess they buy straight from the factory without extensive QC and might seldomly have stuck pixels.
Then add some high fat foods to the veggie meals. Nuts, avocado, etc are all super nutritious and fatty.
Wasn't the main purpose of WSL2 to make WSL finally usable because before v2 it had really bad IO perf?
That’s what the parent is saying. In a nutshell by taxing money it becomes legitimate. The trick lies in not drawing any scrutiny on the business itself, I believe it is basically attempting to make the said business appear as ordinary as possible.
I’m not agreeing with the author, however he accepts ML is an exception, and Jupyter notebooks are the same as mathematics notebooks except that they are open to languages other than wolf.

He does cover this.

Again, I don’t think you are necessarily wrong, but the author does cover Jupyter and ML.

None? That's not what they are arguing against. You can see and compile the F# code, but since you need for that to use an already built compiler provided by Microsoft, you need to trust it.

Even compiling the compiler and then use that compiler to compile your code doesn't help, because the first compiler that was compiled by someone's else might tamper the resulting compiler binary.
Try to have more positive interactions with people. Leave them with the feeling that they have been acknowledged and their existence matters.

If the environment is so violent, why wouldn’t you want solitary confinement? (Is there a downside?)
Do you state that it has its own display RAM or doesn't it?

240x240 is ~56.25 kB at 8 bpp. the screen is RGB 65K colors, that is, 16 bpp; so the framebuffer size should be twice larger. I assume that the display controller has its own memory. True, you would need another 112,5 kB for double-buffering, but maybe you can do without it.
If nothing else you have to muse on the separability of man and idea, at least a little.

PCR is an amazing idea. It’s inventor was a deeply weird guy with a large pile of really bad ideas and an even larger pile of not-even-false ones (e.g., the raccoon spirit animal thing).

Like Pauling, or Watson, a lesson to learn here is that just because someone got a Nobel for true and legit reasons doesn’t mean that what they have to say about other things is of the same caliber. Or even in the same neighborhood of that caliber. Or that a Nobel is a mark of moral character, or anything of that sort.
He also would give scientific presentations, then slip in some completely unrelated slides of scantily clad women. I've never understood why old-school male scientists think that is appropriate.

I've been doing a lot of research that applies here. The answer comes down to a few things:

1. using vector graphics wherever possible and then encoding it as SVG

2. if bitmap graphics are absolutely required and they can be procedurally generated, then do that

3. if large photographic data, video, or any other kind of data is required that can't be handled using the above steps, then separate that data set as you normally would using the file system directories, place the data set subtree into a ZIP archive, write your code so it references items by file paths relative to the ZIP, and then put your page into the root of the ZIP file, too, e.g. as index.html—your readers and reviewers follow along by using their system's native ZIP support to explore the contents of the ZIP file so they can locate index.html and then double click it, and index.html opens up with an "open dataset" button which you use to then feed in its own parent ZIP archive

The last part might sound complicated, but it's not much different from asking someone to use MS Office or VS Code or an IDE to open a file/project. (It's just that instead of requiring then to already have that IDE installed, you're giving them the IDE they need at the same time that they're getting the document/dataset they're actually interested in).

These approaches are robust enough that they're very unlikely to be broken by future browser changes. It's not that the tech is lacking right now, it's that human habits are lagging behind and we haven't yet established this as a cultural norm/protocol/expectation.

Tempeh is a great source of protein and easy enough for many people to make at home. You can add it as a source of protein to a wide range of dishes with surprising results. It's even good when cubed and added to spaghetti marinara as a meatball substitute.
I wish there were more literature about film directors as managers, as opposed to visionaries. A lot of film workers talk about their favorite directors as "knowing exactly what they want" or "having a clear vision," but it's harder to know how they get what they want, or how they express their vision, or how they navigate situations where their vision is wrong or conflicts with someone else's. Or simply how they do that at 4am at the end of a 14-hour work day. I like the stories about how Tarantino will make everyone say "because we love making movies" as a rallying cry. I wish there were more stories like that.
William Shockley, one of the primary inventors of the first practical transistor, was basically a Nazi, as was Henry Ford. Thomas Edison tried to build a radio to talk to ghosts. Nikola Tesla claimed his inventions were channeled in dreams. Jack Parsons, one of the key rocket scientists of the early space age and the primary inventor of modern solid fuel boosters, was a follower of Aliester Crowley who tried to invoke supernatural entities with sex magic while high on peyote. I know two biology Ph.D's who are Biblical-literalist 6000 year creationists, and one of the most brilliant artists and writers I've met thinks we faked the Moon landing. In the Silicon Valley orbit I've met many neo-reactionaries and neo-fascists and on the flip side people who are so "woke" they see every human interaction in terms of racial and cultural power dynamics. I've met yet more engineers who are into occultism, ghost hunting, and... I could do this for a long time.

In my experience the more intelligent a person is the more likely they are to believe bizarre and extremely heterodox things.

One of my issues with the modern skeptic movement has always been how they try to whitewash the history of science and engineering and forget about all the wild ass shit all these people believed (and that present-day scientists and engineers believe when you get a few beers into them).
So it takes a lot to make me think something is worse and meaner to consumers than Amazon.

That's a comment about yourself and not about Amazon. The idea that you can't find a shittier company than Amazon is completely laughable. What a completely insipid comment.
> the law also exempts some entities from the disclosure requirements, including domestic investment funds that are advised and operated by a registered investment adviser. Gascoigne said that exemption was the result of lobbying by the private-equity and hedge-fund sectors.

The Simple Ways to Refactor Terrible Code
I don’t see anything revolutionary about rust.

It is an very well designed piece of engineering and an extremely useful and tasteful set of tools, but it’s no paradigm shift.
Sadly I'm not sure what I'm allowed to make public just yet because I write the thesis for my company :(
Enabling hardware virtualisation opens up a significant and deep attack surface. Considering the vanishingly small percentage of users which benefit from it, I hope it stays off by default.
Scala has many features Rust does not have as well.
[caveat emptor: my knowledge of WASM stuff is mostly based on blog posts and HN comments, and may be outdated. corrections welcome]

in general transpiling to JS lets you reuse the JS runtime (if your language is similar enough), e.g. the garbage collector. also, DOM/window APIs, which are likely why you'd want your language to run in a browser.

with WASM, you have to ship a runtime/interpreter for your language, often adding more than a few MB of overhead to any page using your wasm-compiled-language, and interop with the DOM and other browser stuff is (afaik) still in a pretty rough state. i think C# with Blazor managed to work around it, but it's tough
I wish more people considered this. Lots of people keep pushing to get rid of cash, for example, because it will "reduce terrorism" or "reduce money laundering" or whatever. But I like using cash, because I don't want my bank, or an anti-money-laundering authority, or anyone else to know what I buy, when, why, how much, or from whom. It has nothing to do with illegal activity, or buying drugs, or whatever.

My parents and grandparents told me about the days before centralized documentation. A birth certificate was sufficient documentation, and of course those could be changed. One could lie about his birthday and not get caught. These days, no one is a person at all unless the government says he is, and even then, he is only the person the government says he is: I knew someone who was a transgender; she couldn't call herself a woman in many contexts until the government said so. This idea of constantly proving that you are who you claim to be, backed by government verification, strikes me as a bad direction to go.
