The implication of their comment is x86_64 is EoL and a new architecture is necessary to continue improvements (this is not my own opinion, just how I read the comment)
Not from the manufacturer, no. I bought it second-hand and the seller does offer a 36-month warranty for any mechanical dysfunctions, though I'm not sure whether something like this would qualify. Even if it did, I'm not all that enthused about bearing the costs of sending the watch to way across Europe if it could just be regulated by my local watch shop instead. Am I understanding correctly that if I had it regulated, then it the deviation would be minimal for years to come or how exactly would that pan out accuracy-wise?
I really dislike that term, we can always do better up to some unknown “best”.

But if we’re comparing nature vs now then “what we can do” doesn’t factor because it’s far too unknown and handwavy.
I used it to experiment - it was super easy to set up a consortium, use their API to upload smart contracts, and try stuff out. Easy UI for visualising stuff. Can't think of an actual use-case, really.. but for experimenting, it was handy.
Thanks. I was going to put a timestamp, around 2:51, but it was ignored.

Not to get off topic but it's worth mentioning that there's scientific debate over whether an asteroid ended the rein of dinosaurs.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/09/dinosau...

Evidently, volcanic activity is also credited with giving rise to the dino era as well. So ending it isn't as crazy as it sounds.

I agree with you, But you know there are different rules for each app.

Small developers don't get same access as big developers and their apps get klled for smallest reason just by having some obscure policy or change in policy.

Developers don't have same access as Apple google eg: Screen Time
>How often do you need to parse a string in an RTS game?

Asset files, config files, shaders, obj files, CSV, XML, JSON, etc... it's not uncommon. Read the asset loading code in the posted game.

For a language that doesn't even know what a "string" is, C applications tend to involve a lot of string parsing.
If you have a hundred images in git, and one cannot be downloaded for any reason, git smudge will not be able to run, and you won't be able to git pull at all.

We had an image on AWS go bad, still not sure how. Our devs lost the ability to pull. Disabling LFS could not be done (because of rewriting history). "disable smudge" is not an official option, and none of the hacks work reliably. We finally excluded all images from smudge, and downloaded them with SFTP. Git status shows all the images as having changed, and we are downright unhappy...

It would be happy to hear that I just don't know how to use LFS - but even if so, that means the docs are woefully not useful.

I want to: 1) Tell LFS to get whatever files it could, and just throw a warning on issues. 2) If image is restored not using LFS, git should still know the file has not been modified (by comparing the checksum or whatever smudge would do).
Thanks. Are you aiming for any specific type of employers? SME? Big companies? Start-ups? Every company I've come across say (paraphrasing):

* "It's boilerplate; we can't change it!"

* "We never enforce it, do what you want."

* "Do what you want, who's gonna know?!"

* or some blanket legal statement: "Either your projects fall outside the scope of the clause, in which case you don't need to worry about said clauses, or they fall within the scope of the clause, in which case we are not wavering anything. And finally, its up to you, not us, to judge whether the project falls inside or out of said clause."

I've yet to come across a UK tech company (or R&D company) that has ever taken my concerns seriously. It's starting to bum me out. I don't want to work on releasable products knowing deep down that I might not actually own them.

How great angel investors think: a chat with Freddy Mallet
I would hate to be a garbage collector or a Facebook moderator so I leave those jobs to people who can stomach them.

And also to people who can't, apparently, and "go public" about it.
Yep, that's my feeling too. I don't know why more people aren't angry about these kinds of clauses?! It boils my piss, I've spent 15+ years developing skills, and I am still now allowed to own the fruits of my labour, produced on my own time and dime!
No, of course not. Most big stakeholders in cryptocurrencies want a manipulable asset to invest in. A long circuituous route was taken to building one when regulation cut off the ability to do what they are doing with their coins.

I mean, the whole transacting without borders, and providing a transaction medium that is somewhat immune to geopolitical power projection by any one nation state looks great on paper; but it's also the type of idealistic tool frequuently used to get someone to part with their money.

As much of a raging contrarian as I am when it comes to Federal regulation a d interference in markets; the type of market activity surrounding crypto is a spot on copy paste of the types of scammy behavior the SEC was meant to rein in, even if the rulemaking (whether I like how it's done or not) hasn't caught up. It's also market activity that's producing no net positive societal value as far as I've heard of measuring being done to account for it. Businesses popped up to facilitate movement of coins, and conversion to fiat; but the externalities (regulatory escape, lost funds by people when scam exchanges walk off with everyone's assets, greased anti-money laundering mechanisms, environmental costs, brain drain)...

I know my viewpoint on it probably means about as much in the long run as a gnat fart, but it's just one of those things that seems like a solution looking for a problem, picking whatever problem looks most likely to gain momentum this week, and to hell with the problems caused as a result.
I would love something like this to become standard, but I recall needing a specific calculator in HS. Our math classes were based on the TI-83, and people with an 84 or 86(?) would struggle because the interface isn't exactly the same. Maybe there is more variety now and classes can better handle other calculators.

My wife is still using my old TI-89 about 20 years later, but if that ever dies I will probably pick up something like this for general use. I would also much rather my 6-year-old learn python instead of spending her time making goofy games in TI-BASIC like I did.
You can't make a huge return holding USD. We just need to pretend this is real adoption to recruit more to the ponzi.
I think that in this case like in many others, the more the tool approximates the behavior of something you already know, the easier it is to use. I don't want to lose time learning yet another tool just for syncing 7 dotfiles from a machine to another.

I've been going with `vcsh`[1] for 2 years now -- essentially a wrapper git that works with a home directory git repo without all the annoyances. To be fair I don't even exactly knows how it works (which may be a testament to how nicely it is done). It's just basic git commands and it doesn't create a .git in your home folder.

As simple as :
$ vcsh {name_of_repo} status # check changed files
$ vcsh {name_of_repo} add ..
$ vcsh {name_of_repo} commit ..
$ vcsh {name_of_repo} pull ..
$ vcsh {name_of_repo} push ..

> Pax6 is only one of thousands of genes encoding transcription factors

Last time I checked humans only had ~1800 TFs. I don’t know about “thousands”. Maybe if we count all TFs in all organisms excluding homologs...

> While geneticists have made leaps in understanding how genes with relatively simple, direct functions could have evolved, explanations for transcription factors have largely eluded scientists.

Is it that much different though? TFs bind short DNA sequences throughout the genome. These sequences don’t have to be exact, some variation is allowed. Now, random mutations can change the DNA and enable TF binding, thus increasing the fitness(since TF increasing or decreasing expression of a gene can give some advantage).
Did Docusign really have a problem that couldn't be solved by any other means of publishing the hash?

Ultimately the hash comes from Docusign, so I'm not sure I can think of the problem case where someone doesn't trust Docusign to self publish that hash but does trust a hash that Docusign publishes to the blockchain.
Weird to call these one liners, they're just invocation commands.

Some Steps to Implement ServiceNow ITBM in Your Business
The successful implementation of ServiceNow ITBM can potentially change the way businesses function. It is proven to increase efficiency, reduce time to market and improve service delivery by multiple folds. However, a change this big requires planning and management. In order to leverage the full power of this tool, it is vital to follow the right implementation plan and ensure a quick ROI by eliminating unfortunate pitfalls or detours. Let’s look at the essential steps of ServiceNow ITBM implementation.
Define and Measure Business Goals
What is it that you’re looking for from ServiceNow IT Business Management? Whether you want to improve your service delivery, outages, customer experience, or employee experience; it cannot be achieved until you document your goals and target outcomes. Take some time to clearly define your vision, drivers, desired results, and key milestones on the roadmap. Lay down some metrics to accurately track results against performance. Start with understanding the major challenges within your organization in several departments and explore how ITBM implementation can help solve them. Once you’ve identified all that you need, distinguishing features that your firm requires right away from those that the business can mature into. With this exercise, your priorities, goals, and objectives will become crystal clear.
Engage your ServiceNow ITBM Sponsor
Most stakeholders at a firm are not from the ‘IT background’. Yet, it is crucial for a successful ServiceNow IT Business Management implementation, to ensure consistent engagement and reviews from your executive sponsors. Make sure you pick the right team of executive sponsors who are committed to successful implementation and continual engagement. Engaging all major stakeholders from the beginning also ensures that the entire firm is benefiting, and also eliminates the chances of re-work later on.

It was well written, but has the affect of an apparently quite depressed existential crisis. I’m not in that emotional place in my life so I didn’t really enjoy it, but since I have been in the place before I’m at least able to recognize it.

I’d imagine many of the people it’s striking a chord with are in a similar place so they feel represented enough by the affect to appreciate it as beautiful.
That's considerably more gross than the out of context version. You find human lives being described as "useless baggage" with the same worth as "a box of shotgun shells" inoffensive?

Geographic internet addressing would work fine. It's not that we can't It's that we don't.

In like sense, BGP is mostly a wank. Most routing is static and its 70,000 ASN not 800,000 prefixes which matter. Rebalance the IPs, easy to do. Nobody with addresses wants to, that's all. Incumbent advantage.

Monopoly networks are fine. Its a public utility function. Look at Uruguay. Digital access is free to the unemployed and pretty ubiquitous urban FTTH was achieved in a small economy by ANTEL the former monopoly telco. Or look at reliance/jio

I'm in addressing distribution and related.
Protecting people's basic rights and dignity is important.

Or to put it a different way, you can have an issue where the different factions are not equally important, are not symmetrical.

If I want to burn down all green houses because I dislike green, I am engaging in a petty distraction. If someone tried to stop me because they prefer blue that would also be a petty distraction. But the people stopping me because they're anti-arson are doing something important and very much not a petty distraction.
Seems like you're just lacking robust statistical analysis. Survey 10,000 digital nomads on personality traits, where they have/haven't enjoyed, and then do factor analysis to identify buckets of digital nomad "types". It's extraordinarily unlikely that "every person needs to find out for themselves by trying a bunch of places."

Use similar questionnnaire to identify which nomad "type" the user is. Recommend them cities using a bayesian adjusting system.

Figuring out how many digital nomads "types" there are will take a while and be tricky. But I don't think this is an intractable problem.
Client support for the features you’re talking about has everything to do with the protocol. How are you threading if not based on SMTP headers? What SMTP headers are meaningful for threading? What does SMTP have to say on the subject? Nothing - because it only talks about MTA behavior not clients.
Are that any that can serve the same index.html file to any request with an Accept: text/html header?
That particular phrasing and calculation, suggesting that every chute deployment without fatalities represents that number of people “saved” is quite controversial and IMO not supported by an analysis of the data.

I think it’s great that the system exists, it has undoubtedly saved lives, but unless Cirrus crashes are overwhelmingly fatal compared to other airplanes, it’s overstating “fatal accidents turned into non-fatal accidents” by likely a factor of ~3 and number of fatalities avoided by ~4.

This type of mishap is probably the best scenario for a chute, though. I have no illusions that following a mid-air that I am still a strong favorite to bring my non-chute airplane to earth without fatalities. (The stats say I’m about a 60:40 favorite to do so.)

CAPS saves lives. CAPS has not saved the lives of every person who survived a CAPS deployment, because most of those would have survived anyway. In most off-airport arrival scenarios, I’d be wishing to have a chute.

>Time was, you could apply to a job and get trained on the employer's dime.

In some things yes, but if you want to really dive in the past, time was that in high School there were 2 tracks, College and Vocational, Vocational was where welders, carpenters, auto mechanics, etc came out of.

Today many schools focus solely on College track as the only valid path for K-12 Schools, this has lead to an extreme shortage of people in the Skilled Trades, like welding

Most of the time when an employer would wire an Apprentice or Junior trade person they would in fact have a base understanding of the concepts, processes, and terminology but needed experience and limited on job training(and maybe certification) which the employer provided

It was a partnership, as an employer you generally did not take a completely green person that had never saw a welder in their life and make them a welder.

Further if you are already short staffed, adding a bunch of green persons will make matters WORSE not better as your experienced staff will be slowed as they train the new people...

>>because there ain't any left to hire, and you need 'em, then guess who just got into the business of teaching welding, or is looking for someone else who can?

High Schools... I strongly believe we need to re-balance K-12 to have a better mix of College Prep and Vocational. This nonsense of "Everyone must get a college degree to be successful" that is rampant in society needs to end

I posted the link to the first PEP yesterday (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27134290) I think this looks like a very promising project.
Comments on the points being made based on my experience

- without breaking anyone's code (did that for the print function etc and delayed py3 adoption for a decade but not for the most user requested feature which is speed)

- No large PRs (how a 5x speedup can take place with small patches that no one figured out yet?)

- a small team (not enough money, less risky if they tried to adopt other pypy-esque projects that are more advanced speed wise, a more comprehensive plan that would invite donations, I would certainly give. For this presentation I don't know)
That's a common belief but there are a lot of exceptions that mean we should question how true this really is.

1. Mobile-first, mobile-only apps.

2. Minecraft or really any game.

3. The proliferation of Electron apps that are basically downloadable versions of the website.

4. Apple's own suite of apps. Keynote is pretty darn popular.

In the case of a user who is really, really unmotivated to comment on a doc, sure. Then every click, every second counts because the user doesn't really have a fixed need to complete the task to begin with. For most other things, users are willing to download apps and may even prefer it.

It's also worth considering that Writely/Docs never really supplanted Word and is still rather feature poor even after a decade of continuous development, perhaps because they keep having to rewrite the rendering engine. If Docs was a downloadable app with a simple web-side static renderer + commenting engine, it might have obtained features that could offset any loss of casual users due to needing a download to collaborate. Especially if the download was fast, tight and transparent.
> They are not looking through the code but simply playing with the app on a range of devices.

Hence, security theater.
No, but it's reasonable to expect the Swiss government won't happily continue employing you.
There are several reasons it's mostly a China-operation. Interestingly, it's a textbook example of deficiencies being the competitive advantage.

#1 - China's electricity grid is not very efficient at distributing, which leads to some areas with constant surpluses, directly translating into extremely low electricity prices in those areas

#2 - almost all computer hardware is manufactured in East Asia. Chinese miners don't buy their hardware on the open market, they snatch underhanded special deals with the manufacturers who're then deeply sorry about their "unexpected manufacturing shortfalls"

#3 - Crypto is essentially banned in China for private citizens. Chinese Communist Party is actually quite happy about the mining though - when you zoom out a bit, it's just a money pipe from the rest of the world (mainly US) to China. It also funds bootstrapping of their silicon industry

#4 - crypto in general benefits from weak rule of law. Try running a crypto mining operation in France - the tax collectors will be knocking on your door after the first mined block. Corruption and nepotism is absolutely endemic in China - "sharing" a bit of the mining profits with the local officials has a high chance of skirting the rest of the tax burden
I’m sorry what?

Buffet shouldn’t have just cut the IRS a check for $2B because it’s “meaningless to just send the money”?

So unless all the pieces are in place there is no value in paying the amount in taxes you publicly claim you should pay?

That’s like saying alcohol should be illegal, but drinking all the time. “Well, there is no point in me not drinking, the point is to change the law”.

That makes zero sense.
