I have projects that I manage and projects that other people manage where I fullfill a role.

So it is important to communicate and to discuss urgencys and eventual deadlines.

A similar structured reply would be.

Dear Projectlead,

I am unavailable to perform that task at the moment.
Thanks.

Regards,

normal

And even if it is my DirectX superior, there is no need to involve thanks.
Just write:

Hi normal,

I need you to do X until Y/immediatly.

Greetings,
Projektmanager

When this is done you can thank me for performing the task, but otherwise it just feels like a structure telling me:

End of discussion!

I am able and willing to follow orders without this.
I’m with you in this one,
Go’s error handling was intuitive to me. It was my first compiled and typed language, though. That might bias my experience.
> I just don't think there's all that much difference in meaning between these common formulaic responses.

My father agrees, and for a time his standard greeting to colleagues were these words:

"Friendly Noise"

I've tried it a few times. I get strange looks at first, but people adopt.
We tend to think in contemporary political categories too much and forget about the ancient ones.

A few thousand years ago, places like Xinjiang and the Iberian peninsula or Scotland were both on the outer edges of Indo-European expansion.

History had it that the Tocharians in Xinjiang were since then assimilated by non-IE people, while the pre-IE population in western parts of Europe was assimilated by IE people. (With the exception of the Basques.) But Xinjiang speaking an IE language was, at its time, about as normal as future England doing so.
Olive normally means yellow-green or yellowish green, not green.

However on that page I see indeed green, not olive.

Another poster explained the likely reason for this choice of word, but the discrepancy between the shown color and its name is slightly confusing.
> they are all pushing the limits of interactive web apps

I wonder if you realise that "pushing the limits of interactive web apps" has about as much functionality as Norton Commander/DOS Navigator from the 1990s?

It's a damning fact for the web platform that what is "pushing the limits of interactive web apps" is literally nothing more than tables and lists.
512mb probably means the power budget it's designed for doesn't get completely stomped.

If you need more memory just get the pi4 and a suitable power brick for it
And I don't think there is anywhere near a consent on how far this kind of security should be driven.
That sounds about as useful as Tesla's "auto-pilot" - good when it works but you have to always pay attention that it's not trying to kill you (or your code in this case).

A bad proposition for most people, because you can't trust it.
>"Alternative medicine" like ivermectine or hydroxychloroquine have no scientific, properly studied basis for being used.

When a medical doctor prescribes a drug for a purpose that is currently being studied scientifically, that is not "alternative medicine". Ivermectin is still being studied. Hydroxychloroquine was emergency authorized by the FDA.
Nice. I just busted out my tascam 424, and it’s so much fun to use. Does need a little maintenance tho.

I find recording with software daunting due to the unlimited nature of the options, features, plugins, etc.
Pokemon Text Battle (a text-based pokemon battle simulator written in C, and with a very large number of options; only one user (such as the tournament organizer) needs this software, and all other players only need a telnet client; it can work with LAN even if you do not have a internet connection).

Although I started it, hardly anything is done.
I apologize. I could have (and should have) wrote that comment in a way that was less confrontational.

"Best" is standard practice with Germans, and shows a degree of intimacy-- implying the two parties know each other well enough that an abbreviation is fine.

Given my interactions, I'd be cautious dead-queueing an email on this criteria.
A hearing aid is a medical product.

An off-the-shelf headphone reproduces sound that has already been engineered for consumption. Real-world sound on the other hand is unstructured and chaotic, so you'll need software to prioritize speech sounds while de-prioritizing background noise. That's going to require a bit more power to solve than a pair of headphones. On top of that, you'll need to understand which frequencies need boosting based on the patient's audiogram (basically a hearing loss profile).

Can hearing aids be cheaper? Probably. Should they be covered by insurance? Absolutely. Should you research a bit more before spouting off some sort of feelgood soundbite? Yes, as well.
Definitely not my experience, I must have shown it hundreds of times and nobody has ever scanned it, not even in hospitals
Make policing cheaper, more efficient. Continue pressuring with the ongoing cultural/political shift, cheaper policing adds weight to the argument that we don’t need as many police officers. Less officers, less assholes. If that’s clear enough for you, I’d like to add that I do not owe it to you to come up with a perfectly viable policy to solve policing in the US. You may feel that acting the entitled critic without putting your own ideas on the table gives you an air of superiority, but in the long term, you’ll find that people are increasingly less willing to engage with you in debates.
Yeah it was a bit of a head-scratch moment when those 2016 machines came out. Until then it seemed like you could just trust a macbook pro to be a great machine that could do everything you need, and that each edition would get better than the last.

Around that period it felt like Apple made a pivot away from trying to increase market share through having the best product, and toward maximizing their revenue by leveraging their amazing brand image.

One of the early things was the change from the L-shaped mag-safe back to the T-shaped one. The L-shaped one was such an improvement - those things would last forever. But the T ones would fray in a matter of months. It almost felt like someone at Apple looked at the money they were losing from selling less chargers and decided they had to go back.

And I liked mag-safe but honestly I don't miss it. USB-C charging is fine and having one standard charger you can get anywhere work for everything more than makes up for any relative drawbacks.
Saying this about one of the fastest growing languages on the scene right now feels… weird?
Windows NT (as a usable thing available to the naive general public) didn't exist before Microsoft built it, so it was technically correct to call it new technology technology. In the same vein, this is arguably new compression technology.

The above being said, my reaction to the article's key point was "you've been shipping forward and reverse diffs this entire time???"

I guess my point is that it's kinda sad that it's most correct to generally describe things like this like as "new technology", because customers who've never seen something like it before don't apply any distinction between that and the idea having existed for however long. </rant>
Will it?

I can't see it myself, but happy to educate myself.
No. Ivermectin is not officially approved in the UK for the treatment of COVID-19. Source from the government : https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/freedom-of-inform...
The Italian word "ciao" [0] comes from the word "slave", meaning exactly that - "I am your humble servant". Became popular in Venice and then spread elsewhere.

In defense of using thanks for everything, the "thanks" (at least in my case) is meant more as a "Thanks for taking the time to read this email" and less "Thanks for reading this email" Time is the valuable part there, and someone dedicated the bit of it they have on this earth to read my email.
No.

" Ivermectin is currently not approved in the UK for the prophylaxis or treatment of COVID-19," [1]

There are no good studies demonstrating the validity of Ivermectin, and the Oxford study is not complete and there's no indication results are positive.

Why are people so crazy about this drug?

It doesn't look like it works, though there is some possibility it will, but we'll only know when the Oxford trial is complete. Given the knowledge we have today, it just isn't a therapy for COVID.

> Layout change occurs when elements are added or removed from DOM or when they change their size

Layout change happens even as you as much as glance at a web page. See e.g. https://csstriggers.com Also things like getting the size or offset of an element would cause a layout recalculation (I don't know if it's still the case).
I was just wondering this
I am confused as to how you would tax share buybacks.

Also, would you give a credit for share issuance?

1) if company A issues 100 shares in January, and buys back 150 shares in February, then would company A accrue a tax liability on 50 shares, or 150 shares, and how does A's tax liability change? What rate does the liability accrue at? What if it's more than 12 months -- can you bank this somehow?

2) if company A lends $100 to company B, and company B buys $100 worth of company A's shares, then would company B incur a tax liability, and if so, what is the liability?

3) Is this a general tax liability incurred when a company buys shares of any other company?

4) Is this a general tax liability incurred whan a company buys other instruments -- preferred stock, long term debt, etc, of any other company?

5) Does this tax on corporate purchase of financial assets also extend to banks or is it just the non-financial sector?

6) What if a hedge fund buys shares in company A, do they incur a tax liability?

7) Is a company allowed to retire its own debt prematurely under this plan without incurring a tax liability?

8) Can a company do a repo or reverse-repo of its own shares without incurring a tax liability?

9) If instead of buying back its own shares, a company were to buy gold or shares in another company, would that trigger a tax liability?

Thanks!

> They’re already on the top end of the distribution, you can see pretty accurate numbers on Levels.fyi

Just how wide is this distribution? I'll look at levels.fyi but I've always found those surveys to be dubious. Also why is so bad for FB if engineers are turning down offers? That they stayed in the recruiting process long enough to get an offer indicates a basic willingness to work there, so declining the offer was simply a matter of some details not lining up.

I worked with a placement agency last time I was full time job hunting, and the agent urged me pretty hard to interview with FB but I refused. I ended up accepting an offer from a company that claimed to pay mid-market salaries with higher than average equity, and which didn't seem evil. I'd still never consider FB but I'm wondering how big the difference might have been. Wow.
Amazon is volunteering their customers, however. If the police can identify Ring customers through the tools provided by Amazon, that's definitely outside the bounds of an ordinary business relationship, regardless of the legalese in the TOS. Even if the police can't identify customers, only request anonymous tips, that feels only a little less insidious, more along the lines of signing customers up for spam or selling purchase history.

I do many different things, depending on situations:

- Write notes on paper.

- Write notes in a private note file. (I use whitelisting instead of blacklisting for files in the repository, so I do not need to add it to a ignore list.)

- Write notes in a public note file. (Others may also read this if needed.) (For example, the TODO file in Free Hero Mesh.)

- Write notes in comments in the code, especially if they are closely related to that part of the code or if it seems that someone who reads it might find it helpful.

- Write notes in the public bug tracker.

- Write notes on IRC and/or NNTP. (Notes on the IRC may get lost; although they are logged, they may be hard to find again, so important notes will usually be copied into a note file too.)

It depends.

I can tell you that (1) you don't really need it for an industry career and (2) you surely need it if going into academia.

On the downsides, a PhD means a number of your best years spent with a lowish salary and without a clear career path forward. It can be frustrating to spend time on some open problem without being sure you can solve it properly. Depending on the exact place where you do your PhD, you may need to play some number games to graduate, like having a certain number of publications in certain venues.

On the plus sides, a PhD can be incredibly interesting, if you enjoy the research of your advisor. It will also develop a number of other skills, such as networking, critical thinking, reading, possibly programming, patience, which could be useful later on. After the PhD, you will have some degree of freedom to pursue your own interests in an academic position and the pay will not be bad, although nowhere near what you would get in industry. You will be in a good position to start a company, though, if your research has immediate practical applications. In certain fields (AI, vision, systems/cloud) it will be easy to get a well paying industry job afterwards.

It used to be (pre-Covid) that you would travel to conferences in various places (in Computer Science, at least), which was a nice benefit. If you do a PhD, make sure you choose a lively venue, with other peers that you can discuss interesting topics with.
I like the article, but it comes so short on describing what economists do it’s almost a strawman. The possibility to convert money into labor in a labor market is not rendering the labor irrelevant and leaving you with capital only, because, simply put, the money spent on labor is _not_ allocated capital - in the worst case, it’s purely cost! Cash and capital are not the same thing!
This is why Java went with type erasure...
If it indeed points to a n^100 algorithm (or p!=np), I’d do it. It’d greatly expedite collecting the Clay’s prize money to have someone recognizable validate the proof ;)

If it was n^10, well, likely different story, involving three letter agencies, I’m afraid.

Taking a step back; this website is a piece of Art.

Its message stirs passions, it is written in the very formalism it talks about, and presented in a so unusually cumbersome way that it triggers the same kind of response (or questions) a surrealist setup do (essentially boiling down to: "why the f...?").

Thank you, it was delightful to experience.
>Pedantically, we can't actually witness anything at the same moment it happens for the same reasons.

the best kind of antically, when I first read the title I snorted as everyone else and rushed in to observe the obvious (ironic given the subject) but your observation brought me up short - then again observations that are only milliseconds in remove from the occurrence as opposed to millions of light years may be given a pass about the 'same time' crack.
According to the launch post, they also couldn't find a single-die 1 GB RAM module, so they couldn't physically install more unless they upped the complexity of the design significantly.
I for one am happy with the small digital screen. Since I enjoy+prefer round faced analog watches. That coupled with 30 days battery is definitely perfect for me!
The touch bar was just awful. Not only did it lack software support, but occasionally it would just become non-responsive. And that's really bad when you are trying to mute or turn the volume down quickly, and you have to wait a couple seconds for it to recognize touch input again, or fall back to the mouse.

Also it's on the keyboard where you're not looking. If you want analog controls, either make them tactile - like a physical dial or slider - or just make the display a touch screen.
I’m 100% with you. Including all these legacy soon to be dead ports (seriously, an sd reader?) feels like a big regression

I am from the UK and work with a lot of Americans. I often sign off emails with "Cheers," which gets a lot of positive comment.

As well as being what you might say when clinking glasses, in the UK "cheers" is a jovial way of saying "thanks" as well as something you might say for "goodbye" so works in all these contexts simultaneously.
Anything that wouldn't hamper the battery life, I'm onboard! Otherwise I already very much enjoy this (Scanwatch) watch
I find this article unconvincing, in that it looks at this issue through the usual bias and superiority complex of HN folks.

Politicians no longer want any company to be able to mass manipulate their constituents. The fact that operating a platform at scale relying on user submitted content would be impossible with this bill is precisely the outcome being sought. This requires tech companies to either change their business model or take editorial responsibility for the content promoted on their platform.

I actually find this bill clever and elegant since it excludes search engines, discussion boards and more. Yes certain business models and startup dreams relying on making algorithmic recommendations without being accountable for the outcomes on individuals and society will die, but is this really a bad thing?

To me this is a total positive, there are still plenty of opportunities to build large scale platforms with the web. Simply moving forward, this will require bringing more value to the table rather than just putting people in a walled garden and making money by poisoning their mind and society at the same time.

Hedge fund long term results struggle to match the S&P 500. The owners of the hedge fund, however, do far better than their customers. All those commissions, fees, percentages and loads.

I put my money where my mouth is, and it's not in hedge funds.

The Pi 3 model A/B have a lot more electronics—check my video and blog post about the Pi for more on power efficiency—the Zero 2 W can run at 0.6W (100 mA) vs the Zero W at 0.4W (80 mA).

Both idle a little higher if you're actively using HDMI and WiFi.

In case anyone wonders, I think the same argument is made in a somewhat easier to understand way in one section of the the P vs NP wikipedia page [2].

But I think that would turn (b) into a special case of (a) i.e. a bizarre algorithm that is completely useless. And it would also be an algorithm of mostly unknown complexity (with P=NP, we'd know it to be ∈ P, but we won't necessarily know anything else).

64bit is great news (if only because I can target it with the same binaries), but only 512MB of RAM and no EMMC is disappointing, regardless of power budget constraints.

I have been using 3As because of the reduced size (and the full sized HDMI port, which comes in handy), so I hope those get updated to a 4-grade chipset —- I feel that there is a gap between the Compute Module and the A that needs filling.
Sadly your experience matches some of my own (in particular there are companies which purely exist to take part in these funding programmes which is a bit of a perversion of the aims).
There are some great exceptions, and it's unfortunately really hard to design the right balance of admin overhead to programme effectiveness (intuitively I suspect many smaller companies / startups / research groups that could potentially create great work are put off by the admin overhead).
