How do you avoid getting mugged or murdered from people you couch surf with? Basically avoiding the scammers...? I feel like in Europe, there are so many street scams and that if police aren't even willing to curb that issue, what recourse would you have if someone were to harm you while couch surfing at some random place? The risk feels pretty high to me. I guess you would have to travel really light in these situations?
A comment on the website. I know on HN its popular to have minimal sites. But this is just rediculous. While I also dislike medium, they get the spacing right. This site is awful to read.

Generally lines shouldn't be longer than 700px or so (+/- 100px). Its harder for the eye to stay on the same line when its longer than that.

One line of CSS can fix this and vastly improve the experience.

The font size is tiny, I have to zoom in 50% to easily read. While I can do that, its annoying to have to do so.

That's another 1 line CSS fix. And then one final line of css to center everything.

I'm not asking for an entire site redesign, but literally 3 lines of CSS can vastly improve the end user experience.

CSS needed:

body {
max-width: 700px;
font-size: 20px;
margin: auto;
}

Edit to add: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ for a good minimal example site.
Do investment opportunities exist within Remora? If so, where could I learn more about them?
Hence the "Turn me up!" campaign, though it's hard to say how much of a difference it has made.
E.g. they don't get to sue you for using it and not opening your own software that links to it, since you can buy a license allowing you to do just that.

That's also why some GPL software is dual licensed. GPL for the masses, and a proprietary license allowing you to do whatever without needing to follow the GPL if you can afford it.
Healthcare workers at higher risk for Covid-19 in community than on the job
You're taking a bunch of `C` in the tank (AMU: 12) and 2x `O` out of the atmosphere (AMU: 16). This means the expected mass goes from 12 -> 44, or an increase of 3.6. My trusty calculator says that takes .71kg to 2.6kg.

This is just approximate, since fuel has a bunch of H and S and other crap, so it's not 100% C. But, yes, these figures are in the right ballpark.
In short, yes it is.

The concept of having a predictable recurring bill, and known costs can have a lot of value. In the opex hardware model, there is usually a hardware refresh built in (a lease of sorts) and also covered replacements for any failures before the refresh.
If someone can't learn a new ecosystem, I have bad news for them in this industry.

Also, rejecting someone because they can't rote memorize ecosystem specific incantations is... a pretty big red flag.
I see various hobbyist cards like this one for the S100 bus, even today, I presume because the S100 bus is is not covered by any current patents, and is electrically simple and easy to build. But AFAIU, one of the downsides of its simple passive electrical nature is you will very quickly run into clock speed issues using chips from the late-80s onward to their full potential.

There were other buses available, e.g. the VME/VersaBus designed by Motorola originally for their 68K line of CPUs and later standardized. I can't help but wonder, have any other bus designs from the late 70s or 80s been revived for hobbyist purposes, or perhaps a whole new bus designed to overcome the limitations of the S-100 or similar designs?
What was it like cycling in India? Did you feel safe? I mean from both the traffic and crime.

I'm thinking about doing this at some point, but I get nervous sometimes when I see the traffic in the cities there. Maybe its not as bad on the roads outside the cities?
People are getting increasingly enraged because there is a palpable culture shift happening in the western world, creating a giant rift in fundamental principles, societal perspectives, and interpretation of current events. When we can't agree on any of these things, the other side seems radical and unhinged when interpreted through our own set of values/principles.

The "enrage machine" is simply a product of this phenomenon. Sure, you can try and reduce the rage by censoring and banning minority views off the platform, but the underlying problem is still there. The angry division is still there, whether you're hearing it on social media, cable news, talk radio, or Thanksgiving dinner.
You absolute legend. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I think we can state definitively there 'have been some forms of life that can self-reproduce' to slightly paraphrase you (since we are an example). Unfortunately the opposite claim, that there have been forms of life that couldn't reproduce will be very hard to falsify, unless we happen to meet a very long-lived one.

Self reproduction might be necessary but not sufficient to define life. Crystals reproduce, for example, but we wouldn't likely call that life?
Sure. What I'm getting at is that I see the specific syntax of "async-await" as a synthesis of concepts from functional and procedural heritage. I agree about it being a spectrum and all that, so I think we're mostly just talking past each other about the specifics of how it came to be and using different ways of describing that process.
I quit my job in 2014. I was burnt out, exhausted and not thrilled with my life and the direction I was going. I ended up buying a touring bike (bicycle) and spent the summer riding across Canada. Those 3 months were immensely valuable. I saw the country in minute detail and was floored by the generosity and friendliness of all the people I met along the way.
There was a lot of time to think and reflect and it didn't take long for my burnt out attitude to be replaced by inspiration and excitement for what was to come next (although I still had no idea what that was going to be). One I hit the far coast, I ditched the bike and flew to Munich. I spent the next few months loosely based in Germany, visiting friends and doing some short trips out to Austria, Italy and Switzerland. I picked up some contract work that allowed me to work remotely from anywhere with an internet connection. I considered staying in Europe, possibly moving to the Alps in France. But after 8 months away I finally realized that I wanted to go 'home' and, more importantly, I knew where 'home' was for me. I moved back to Canada and now live less than an hour away from where I was before I left. This massive country feels a lot smaller now (in a good way). Contract work keeps flowing in the door and I'm living a lifestyle that is far more suited to my personality and interests. Never been happier.
Yeah, this seems nice to say but much harder to actually do.

As someone who has been quite close to death and recovered, I can say with 100% certainty you truly have no idea what that bone-chilling terror is to know that you could well and truly die soon and there's nothing you can do about it.

The unknown is one of the most terrifying things known to mankind. Death is the ultimate unknown. Why else would so many religions involve either an afterlife or reincarnation? Because believing we will turn to dust and cease to exist is incredibly tough to grapple with!

So yeah, good luck on dying as the valiant hero bravely staring down the long sleep!
> Is it still zero cost if the price to pay is a steep increase of code complexity?

Yes, because the "cost" in "zero-cost" only refers to runtime cost.
there are a lot of ways to "not work so hard" other than "just quit and go backpacking". I share your utter lack of interest in backpacking. to me, "not work so hard" means picking a good job, but not the most ambitious one possible. it means closing my IDE at 5:30 and finishing that last bug the next day. this leaves me with more time and energy to spend on non-work-related people and activities that I value.

and in a way, I suspect that backpackers and intense travelers have traded one form of "working too hard" for another. "making the most of your youth" is a FOMO perspective. I prefer to focus on appreciating what I already have.
It was also that the container had literally no advantages. It was just a meme that did not survive rational analysis. The building in which the datacenter is located is the simplest, cheapest part of the design. Dividing it up into a bunch of inconveniently-sized rectangles solves nothing.
I appreciate the fish pun! This is why we're currently offloading the CO2 every 600 miles. Luckily, offloading only takes a couple mins, and drivers are legally mandated to stop every 8 hours (< 600 miles of driving), so they can just offload while they stop, or at the end of the day. 600 miles worth of driving creates about 1,800 lbs of CO2, which is very doable to store onboard a truck.

To offload, the driver attaches a hose, which connects to an offloading tank, and the CO2 is pumped from the tank inside our device to the much larger offloading tank. We liquefy the CO2 as it comes off the truck for storage in the tank. Luckily, the pump doesn't use much energy, and our early partners are using renewable energy to power the pump! We plan to continue using
> thank you AWS, Azure, GCP...

This might be your answer. She can look for ways to transition to being a cloud engineer. There is a lot of complexity there and plenty of work to be done for the foreseeable future. As a DBA she should find that switch easier to make than moving to data science.
I'm really shocked, that's an incredible amount of damage. Lots of people lost data.
John McPhee's 1989 book "The Control of Nature" has a long section on the work the United States Corps of Engineers did to try to control the flow of the Mississippi. Most of the time it works more or less as designed. But once in while the system can't handle it and the excess is sent down the course of the Atchafalaya river and floods the Atchafalaya Basin all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
My sentiment also.
Also anecdotal:

After switching my entire collection over to CD, one of the bands I later got into, only as a "CD band" were The Muffs (R.I.P., Kim).

Years later, seeing their albums that I loved so much released on vinyl, I thought, why not? The instant I put the needle down I knew there was magic in vinyl that I had traded for convenience years ago. It sounded that much better.

The significance for me was that this was a band I knew digitally before I ever heard analog. Somehow, going that direction, and enjoying the vinyl better convinced me there was something there.

Explain away. I am happy when I put on my records.
Evaluating DevOps Maturity
Art generally, and poetry specifically, ideally elicits emotion based on its engagement with universal human experiences. If I'm reading a poem from 200 years ago, I don't give a fuck who the poet supported politically; I give a fuck that their poetry is artistically durable enough to make me want to keep reading 200 years later.
Working toward fairer machine learning

A Case Against Hardware Managed DRAM Caches for NVRAM based Systems
This is why I'm such a fan of digitizing. If you have 1 film master you effectively have none. Do some 8K or 16K scans of that master and effectively manage the resulting data and you're effectively 100% immune from future loss in perpetuity.

Losing parts of history like that is tragic.
>If everyone who collected unemployment correctly identified the tax implications and budgeted appropriately then we would have a very screwed up problem on our hands: a drone-like population of box-checkers who shockingly ignore more important aspects of life.

I think you're being hyperbolic here. If you knew about this it takes less than 5 minutes for you to get out a calculator and figure out how much you need to have on reserve. If you didn't know about this add in 10-15 minutes to research it. That doesn't seem like very onerous to me. Some sibling commenters also mentioned that some state's unemployment application contain a checkbox asking whether they want their income tax to be withheld for them, which reduces the time spent to 5 seconds.
im going to answer a different question to give you a broader perspective since you indicated that your driving motivation is finances (not a bad thing).

since its a small company and you’re the only dev, have you considered negotiating with the owners to become CTO and ask for partial ownership? i think the leverage you have is tremendous and you haven’t realized it yet.
Not the OP, but I have a significant amount of anxiety sometimes about if something bad has happened or if my pets are okay or whatever. It's an extreme version of "did I forget to turn the over off".

Being able to remote in and go "ah, everything's fine" basically can instantly turn such anxieties off, rather than say, having to live with it until you finish out the work day and can head home.
> That American don't remember their capital being taken and their most important government building burnt down by another nation is kind of funny however. And that's why nobody remember it, no movies about it.

Going to beg to differ. We learned about this in elementary and then in more detail in middle and high school. Don’t know why so many commenters seem to think the 1812 war isn’t taught in US schools.

Conversely what I find odd is that the American revolution doesn’t seem to be taught in British schools at any length. I’ve talked to multiple British friends who have almost know knowledge of it and say it’s not taught. I get that the UK has a long history, but losing your biggest set of colonies in a revolution that go on to become the most powerful country in the world seems like a big deal. Something worth spending at least a little time on in public education.
>This raises questions about the credibility of WIV senior researcher Shi Zhengli

It's a straightforward although time-consuming exercise to trace through Shi's research from the last 15 years and see that she and her team have clearly been developing a bioweapon based on SARS and gain of function stuff pasted in from bat coronaviruses and elsewhere.
Wait till you try to find the boundary between species!

Many plants, and some animals such as birds, can produce fertile hybrids after being separated for millions of years. Especially true for organisms that have reproductive barriers besides genetic and physical incompatibility (different pollinators, geographic separation, birdsong differences, etc).
They’re suggesting that other areas (not near Chernobyl) have higher than typical rates from more close-relative interbreeding, which pulls the global average up relative to the more distant breeding pairing near Chernobyl.

(I’m not taking a position either way as I have no data, but they’re clearly not accusing Chernobyl neighbors of mating with cousins.)
Fun fact: I wrote the initial version of that page. I taught networking lessons at a university, IPv6 transition mechanisms were one of the topics we covered, and this one didn't have an article, so I wrote it. It was quite funny when one of the students realised it was who wrote it when they went to Wikipedia wanting to learn more :)

> ... speculative instruments like baseball or pokemon cards.

Or paintings, or pretty baubles. People like what they like. If the number of people liking something grows large enough, the "something" can apparently become an exchange medium.
> In an over-simplified world of Good Developers and Bad Developers, the Good Developers generally don't get fired or quit much, and if they do, can usually get another job through references they made at their last one. If they happen to not have any references who can get them a new job and enter the general recruiting market, they usually get snapped up quickly.

They will also get snapped even before they end-up on the open market. For college hires, might be more than a year before they graduate or accepting a full time position at the end of an internship.
This comes down to where Alphabet/Google/YouTube's "Nexus" is. They are a U.S. based company, and therefore the U.S. Government has a stronger claim to taxation.

Nevermind the M1 - what about an Apple watch? I'm wildly out of my depth with this but I look at stuff like this teardown and X-ray of the Apple watch where they describe the distance between components in microns and think that maybe that's reasonably difficult to repair that component.

That being said, I would like it if the screen/battery/soc could be replaced independently.
100 years ago we would have called this yellow journalism.

If you want to make a system that is solely on getting eyeballs to look at advertisements the best way to do that is controversy. If you really understand social media how to get an advertisement for free on CNN is to say something controversial enough on Twitter that CNN will show a story of it. What we are witnessing is the disruption of original sources of information (TV / Newspapers / Magazines) into a more algorithmic system. A bunch of people do things like "blame the algorithm" but instead you have to consider that it is a cybernetic system with both artificial agents and people interacting with each other and the accountability doesn't disappear at the part of the algorithm the accountability is with the organizations that deploy it.
That's not what pioneered means.

They're different things. NAT64 is useful for bridging between ipv6 and ipv4 networks, it's just a way of encoding ipv4 addresses in ipv6 addresses. It's more straightforward than ipv4 nat because there's no port rewriting.

IME it depends on the shop and it's own skill level. If you've got a bunch of devs with only experience in the tech stack the company is using, they'll be heavily selective for a match to their stack. If they've got a broad set of internal tools in a bunch of languages, they're likely selecting more broadly based on overall skill or the ability to get up to speed.

And I'm 100% with you there, learning a new place's codebase can often take as much or more time than learning a new language (at least if you've got experience with a couple of languages already). There's at least tutorials and guides for a new language, and there's rarely good docs and resources for the codebase.

I'm part of a think tank (not for or against Bitcoin) speculating on what, from an analytic/continental philosophy tradition. Stuff like: Universality and its species: The Market is the empty universal element that contains the Money Market (aka banks, hedge funds and day traders) but also its species of particulars that fail to be contained by the Money Market: the Real Economy. The Real Economy concerns the production, purchase and flow of goods and services within an economy. (Laclau). Crypto is the antagonism between the particular element (The Market) which hegemonizes universality and the element (the Real Economy) which, within this universality stands for what is excluded from it.

I didn't say it was for "road noise". Car stereos was one of the popular places for listening CDs at the height of loudness war.

> So the recording and mastering engineers began to produce recordings with limited dynamic range that would sound "better" on iPods and car stereos that are used in areas with more ambient noise than a quiet listening room. [1]

> Today, many people listen to music primarily in the car or other noisy places, where louder music cuts through against the background noise. Record companies, especially today, tend to cater to this market of casual, “on-the-go” listeners and make heavy use of compression and limiting in order to make their album louder. [2]

That's what carbon sequestration is? The proposed pipeline is: C02-in-the-air => biofuel crop => biofuel => carbon capture => sequestration in concrete, etc.

This is just a clever way to get trucks and farms to do the work with the infrastructure we have (mostly) in place, rather than a radical reimagining of our energy infrastructure.

Not that I've seen proof this process would work, but I think that's the proposal.
I have not quit my job to travel, so my comment is only partially relevant.

However at the beginning of the pandemic, when the company decided to become fully remote, we terminated our lease and started exploring the Pacific Northwest of the USA.

For last year or so we moved every week around 300 miles to a new city to explore it. If we like it, we stay longer. If we don't, we move faster. We work from the hotel rooms and Airbnbs, which proved to be less challenging we initially thought.

I spent last 15 years mostly in California, so this trip opened my eyes to the "rest" of the country which I greatly underestimated before.
