Well said. Indeed, the whole "battle" over WFH should be about giving people the ability to choose what works best for them, not forcing either option. And that may even change for a particular person from year to year or job to job.
Blockchain Technology Can Benefit the Internet of Things
I was considering the former, but I don't want to discount the latter. We identify incorrect emotions through incorrect behavior.
"Really Important Things" are usually business-internal software (for example, there are likely thousands upon thousands of perl scripts mangling data for company systems, where the original developer is long gone but they continue to work). Developer time spent on that doesn't really benefit the community as a whole beyond a blog post here and there about some aspect of how to set it up.

And when that software breaks on an OS update (say CentOS 6 -> 8) is when often "virtualize that machine and keep running the old code" becomes the answer.
It's only 1/8th of your awake time if you don't count weekends.

If you count weekends, you have 5 * 8 + 2 * 16 = 72 hours of "free time". so 5 hrs commute / 32 hrs = 6.94% or 1/14.4 of your time awake.
> The fact that a common operational mode is unfathomable to you does not make it useless to others.

Yes, that is why I said "I know this is common"...
I would think something like delivering 4 or more HIMARS systems, munitions, some troops, and medium-sized combat drones to boot. The HIMARS system can currently be transported on a C130, and they weigh 24,000 lbs each (12 shorttons each). The concern I have is how easy would it be to take out a very expensive, very big target like Starship.
By market forces alone, Chinese censors will eventually gain control of YT and tell people of the world they what they can and cannot post. It's already happened to Hollywood movies.
I wonder if I could just wait a year and pass the filter on virtue of gmail-account being 18 years old...
The whole reason that this is an issue now is that previous efforts were not deemed adequate. A “we won’t fix it, but we’ll vaguely pretend to fix it” approach probably won’t fly.
The language server doesn't do it because it's only a parser whereas making UFCS work properly would presumably require a full semantic analyser. By no means impossible to do, just no one has taken the plunge yet.

EU citizens needs to convince their government(s) that these age restrictions are not acceptable or live with the status quo.
Sorry, it wasn't intended as a stylistic comment. It just seemed you're making a recommendation about a treatment by saying that it works for all the people it works for. Would you have any estimate of what fraction of all the people who tried this fully succeed?
18 kWh per 100 km means about 1.8 kWh per 10 km, so about 1.5 kWh for 5 miles.

With 4 sq m of solar cells, 1 kW / sq m of sunshine at high noon, and 20% of conversion efficiency, it's 800 W. So it's about 2 hours to gain 5 miles under ideal conditions. Think really big shopping :)
I can accept that Starship will be able to deliver its cargo to anywhere in the world, but I can't see how it might then refuel, relaunch and return to a base. Or is it that a fully developed Starship would be able to land and relaunch without any specialised launch/landing pad and other infrastructure?
This scathing contempt for poor mental health is precisely the kind of attitude that drives people to commit suicide instead of seeking help.

Poor mental health isn't "whining"; it's the number one cause of death for ages 15-24 in the US. It's rampant, and many people reading your comment will themselves be struggling.

If anyone reading this is in a bad way, please know that most of us don't look down on you. Many downright heroic people who have changed the world have had their (very) bad patches. Newton, Tesla, Lincoln.

Programmers aren't known for their empathy, so don't pay attention to any tone deaf drum beating you hear here. Outside of Hacker News, you're surrounded by people who do indeed care about and respect you, as well as professionals who will put the best of their minds into helping you through the storm.
Most developers have good connectivity and powerful hardware and don't seem to care that 2 billion people in the world have very poor and unaffordable connectivity.
You see a lot of angry young men who are convinced of their own genius, convinced that they alone are responsible for their accomplishments, deeply offended that someone else might received care and compassion for what they consider to be weaknesses. It is all an effort to justify their own juvenile selfishness and to recast it as a virtue.

But sometimes there is a link to a cool github repo so here we all are.
Last time I drove by, they literally installed a wall of virtue signal signs at the entrance of the town. This thing is rather comical.

Not exactly 'hippie' in my book.
In the Bay Area the train and bus system is a crammed, stressful experience where you have to worry about being robbed, harassed, or being annoyed by loud music, homeless _smells_, or inebriated people trying to smoke in a packed car. Regarding cars: don't forget the increase of risk of accident and death from driving, as well as the constant stress of avoiding collisions; I can barely retain podcasts while driving.

Indeed, if you have something to hide, do not use a mobile phone. E2E chat will only help to keep the messaging hidden.

If you have a keylogger on the device, you have lost. In other words, whether or not WhatsApp opposes traceability or not does not matter an iota.

Zerowatt Inc. | Lead Web Developer / Evangelist | Full-time | San Francisco (3/2 Hybrid ONSITE)

We're a brand new startup building a serverless platform--a new kind of "Cloud Operating System", composed of storage + compute abstractions that will power future Internet companies. We just raised a seed round led by Neo, with additional investments from a16z, Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, General Catalyst, and lots of other great folks.

We're looking for an individual who's really deep on the web/react stack and community who can help shape how APIs and SDKs should work in this new environment. You would be hire #1 with the founding team--we're formerly three of Dropbox's most senior technical people, that lead most of dropbox's storage + database systems for the last ~8 years.

Our backend is a pretty radically new way to store + compute built in 100% Rust. It's fun and potentially hugely disruptive stuff.

You can email me at jamwt@zerowatt.io if you're interested or just have any questions/ideas for us! Thanks.

The sudden wave of UFO propaganda has me wondering, "Why now?". Will UFOs suddenly become the new enemy we must mobilize against?
Then I don't understand. You said you don't make any money from your investment. So it's a bad investment, regardless of COVID, right? What am I missing?

The government is telling you that as a provider of homes to people, you cannot make them homeless during a global pandemic. This seems entirely reasonable and recalibrates the idea that properties are primarily homes, where people live, and not investments.
The whole point of US spy agencies _is_ to spy on non-Americans...
Holdens are Australian, not American.
Absolutely but that's a serious problem with any language that does automatic dependency handling this way.

I would argue that the problem you see isn't so much with perl (although it's definitely less popular) but with the exponential dependency explosion with little verification that results from these sorts of systems.

I installed this to test it out (in a VM) and got a login prompt asking for a password. I went to their site and found no documentation about this at all, so I just never touched it again. It could be changed and no such prompt appears. I might have to try it again.
I'm from the Midwest US, near where Flynt Michigan experienced severe water poisoning for years. Nestle (the food company) pays only $200 a year to bottle water out of fresh supply while residents have no access.
I'm with OP, it was hard to stop buying their products because I had no idea how many products they have their hands in. However, if your dollar is your vote, stop buying product from corporations that operate in this manner.
It’s like playing roulette. Will they know what’s inside of the food they make? I don’t mean this as a dig, sometimes it is difficult. Most places don’t make _absolutely everything_ from scratch. There are various sauces and bases that they outsource, and keeping track of all of the allergens is difficult.

I have found that the small restaurants do go above and beyond to _find out_ if they have an allergen. Once I had an owner call two suppliers to check the ingredients for a particular sauce they were using and had mixed in to a lot of the entrees.

But also, I’ve had horrendous experiences, from being purposely served croutons (“gluten isn’t real”) to arguing that a dish lacking milk did not mean it was gluten free (turns out there was barley in it and my wife got sick).

Homogenization has definitely made _our_ lives easier, although I do believe there is something lost in it.
It used to be carried at the Whole Foods Market in Philadelphia where I used to live. They stopped before I moved to Sante Fe 2 years ago. I have not seen it here or anywhere else since.

I used to shop every day at WFM back east. I also used to eat about 400g of El Rey Caoba every time I shopped. Not good for my weight, but I was a pretty serious triathlete most of that time.
That would make definite sense and should be straightforward. Instead of sharing your data, you would generate a certificate with an expiration period with which they can access your personal data stored in the system. Ideally this would be short lived and require periodic regeneration.

Here is the interesting excerpt from the PDF [0] that this refers to. It mentions a few more things that did not make it into the article:

"Rocket Cargo uses modeling, simulation, and analysis to conduct operational analysis, verify military utility, performance, and operational cost. S&T will include novel "loadmaster" designs to quickly load/unload a rocket, rapid launch capabilities from unusual sites, characterization of potential landing surfaces and approaches to rapidly improve those surfaces, adversary detectability, new novel trajectories, and an S&T investigation of the potential ability to air drop a payload after reentry. This is not a rocket engine or launch vehicle development program. It is an S&T effort to leverage the commercial development into a novel new DoD capability."

Yes, there was a US invasion attempt into Cuba. A long time ago. There is zero risk for any invasion into Russia. Yes, the US likes to spread their influence and likes to have military bases around the world, but even interest in that is reduced. As soon as there is no one to protect against, those bases mostly lose their importance. The only state in recent history expanding their territory was Russia.
I must have missed that comment, just saw "I have work in about 4 hours"
Programming for this made me feel like I wanted to die inside. This was some years ago, maybe the client libraries got better somehow, no idea.

I think being friendly to programmers is a pretty good way to actually get things flowing with blockchains. You mess that up from the get go and it's just no fun for anyone
> The problem is if the sites aren't delivering any additional benefit to the user in return for that bandwidth.

While this isn't directly tied to bandwidth metrics per se, there's also something to be said about usefulness from a utilitarian perspective: Instagram infinite scrolling experiences full of HD beach selfies aren't exactly advancing civilization in any meaningful way, both in the sense that the impetus to appear "successful" is essentially glorifying sloth, and in the sense that consuming that type of content takes time away from more productive pursuits. Even political news, which in theory ought to serve to increase understanding of policy, these days often looks more like real life soap operas.

It's tricky to talk about this in terms of metrics, since obviously downtime and "useless" entertainment have their place as a decompression activities, but I often get a feeling that nowadays there's too much emphasis on vapid fun at the expense of "productive" fun (e.g. activities like hacking on a side project, or even just reading a properly intellectually stimulating article over yet another shallow hot take).

Sometimes I can't help but cynically think that perverse "engagement" incentives are at least somewhat connected to ballooning bandwidth consumption.
Nothing about Starship changes the basic calculus of why ICBMs (which is what this would be, no matter the fuzzy spin on it) never became a viable option for payloads other than nuclear weapons: there's no way for other states to tell if a a launch is a nuclear attack or not, so MAD means they must assume the worst. This is a very dangerous and destabilizing idea and I had hoped the US military wouldn't be so stupid.
What, 9000??
Are you simply saying that quaternions can be used to perform the same rotation as the Euler method or are you saying that the rotation information along the Euler axes can also be lost even when using the quaternion method?

Said another way, are you conflating gimbal lock the physical property, with gimbal lock the common bug of creating irreversible rotations or is the bug still possible?

for things I need to work I generally buy from walmart if posible.
Fuck American hypocritical Hollywood, puritanical bullshit. Their kids are already watching gay horse sex and sheep bondage by the time they're 10.
This is a very good point - many perl scripts are simple text-processing programs that don't depend on much from CPAN - but others are large projects that pull in multiple dependencies, and as those begin to break so do the programs.

And now you have a situation where you may be stuck - unable to update your program even if you want to until all dependencies are updated.
The tech interview process is different for every company but it's definitely not broken.

As a CTO, one of the things I look for is experience. You can look up all the "basic shit" you want but if we're talking about a specific problem, I want you to be able to give/walk me through a solution even if we don't finish the problem. If I'm interviewing a senior engineer, I want you to be able to show your seniority one way or another, if we talk about architecting something, I want you to be able to talk about why we want to solve it this way, pros-cons etc. Experience also shows me that it wouldn't take you a long time to solve the problem, and in our industry, at least my experience in startups, speed is key.

Windows Package Manager 1.0 Is Finally Released
I've had the same experience on Safari—in addition to the issue with Find no longer working in Google Docs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27351855).

I strongly suspect that at least part of the reason for these is to discourage people from using Google's properties with browsers other than Chrome (whether it was the reason for creating them, or just noted as a benefit for refusing to fix them once they were identified).
I generally don't like to quantify things that don't have hard numbers behind them, but just to get some napkin math down:

Let's say there's a 1/1000 chance in infection of the parent if the [adult] child is actively infected during a brief outdoor hug. The chance of the child being currently infected depends on the current base rate but for the napkin's sake let's put it at 1/10. (As an aside, in actuality while there is evidence of pre-symptomatic transmission for SARS-CoV-2 the overwhelming evidence shows that asymptomatic transmission doesn't occur so just a heuristic of "am I actively sick or not" gets you good risk management anyway but let's avoid that for now)

Now let's say that the chance of the parent dying or having a seriously bad outcome given SARS-CoV-2 infection is 1/10.

That brings us to (1/1000) * (1/10) * (1/10) = 1 death per 100,000 of these hug-events. If we stick with my earlier example of someone with 2 years of life expectancy, that would factor out to (365*2*24*60)/(10^5) = 10.512 minutes "lost" per hug, if we assume that hugging someone doesn't have any positive effects on their physical wellbeing whatsoever.
"Different" is not a reason to switch, but "not different enough" is a reason not to switch.

When switching is costly, the potential upside must be big. When the other language seems similar, the upside also seems limited. When there are few differences, you can rationalize staying with the old language, because it may catch up with the features, or you can emulate the missing features, or just live without them, if the differences are small.
I worked in a company which was hiring tech folks without coding interviews.

I am glad I left.
