Indeed, my bad – I meant the first generation of the Macbook Pro (2006 Aluminum model). The retina came later in 2012.
While I've never bought their electronics, Amazon Basics have been some of the lowest quality worst purchases I've ever made.

I mistook Amazon being in the name as some sort of sell of approval or quality bar. Wow was it the exact opposite.

I will never buy another Amazon Basics product again. Everything, fades, wears out, breaks, so much faster.

It really seems their approach is get someone to make it look like the top selling product for an online photo, and then give the contract to whoever makes it the cheapest.
This is no longer true about the returns - I may have to go to court with amazon over a warehouse item that was empty, and then they stuck me with the non-returned item when I returned the empty box, wiped my review of the 3rd party seller (fulfilled by amazon). They are currently lying to my credit card company about the chargeback. Not fun...
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you've emailed me a few weeks ago and gotten radio silence, it may be because I've been having technical difficulties. My @yahoo.com email is suddenly starting to reject a significant number of legitimate emails as SPAM, so, I'm switching to an @gmail.com for my job search communications, and I'll dig what I can out of my SPAM folder. TL;DR: If I didn't write you back in the past several weeks, please feel free to try again at pwmiller74@GMAIL.COM

I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public companies.

Location: SF Bay Area.

Remote: Possibly.

Willing to relocate: Unlikely.

Technologies: Python, Django, Pyramid, Flask, Postgres, MySQL, Docker, AWS, and a few other web technologies. I'm very willing to branch out and work with others, such as Ruby, Node.js, Golang and others, so don't consider this an exhaustive list.

>It strikes me that one advantage of the written word is that the information density is so much higher than in other mediums.

This is true, but it also goes beyond density. Long-form written works tend to have more room for breadth, depth and nuance. I find that's where much of the value sometimes comes from, e.g., I didn't get anything much out of the main text of the last non-fiction book I read, but three of the footnotes introduced me to other sources that did turn out to be useful for my work.
Wouldn't simply stripping comments before doing any other processing solve the problem? I know there are plenty of programs that sprinkle code into comments, from Emacs to linters. Or is this obviously naive?

Seems to me that if you need to put code in the comments, you've got a bigger problem. I know people like tab hints and lint overrides, but maybe it is time to focus on separation of concerns at a higher level?

Why can't the time someone wakes up or works change with the season, but using the same timezone? What is the point to call it 7a when it's actually 6a?
Hi all,

Currently some work is being done to improve computational primitives of scikit-learn to enhance its overhaul performances natively.

You can have a look at this exploratory PR: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/20254

This other PR is a clear revamp of this previous one:
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/21462

Cheers,
Julien.
Thanks! I just pushed an update to fix that :)
It wouldn't change a thing. The deeper cause of the day rythm is the daylight cycle. We adjust all our times, like start of work day or school start relative to that - mostly so that you get up after or not too long before sunrise and have most of the daylight during work time. If you change the time zone setting, day times are going to adjust accordingly.
Yeah, one of the fuckups that the presidency of Dubya left behind. It wasn't like this before 2005!

> I assume someone must think it's still a good idea for some reason?

Nobody does. But ask a group of people what the solution should be and someone will start screaming bloody murder about how the correct time is standard or daylight. As a result, politically, forcing a move will get you (a) lots of people with meh level support for you and (b) a small, pissed off group. Which is, electorally, worse than useless.
GIST o-auths with google and is approved by them so not a "random website" - we're based in San Francisco, are privacy-focused, trying to bring awareness to how the things we buy impact the world around them. What do you mean by typical spending patterns?
Retro emulation like MAME has a lot of details the dedicated hobbyists think about.
Noon is generally not midday for most people. Far more stores are open at 7 PM than are open at 5 AM. Far more people are still up at 9 PM than are waking up at 3 AM. And the "9 to 5" song would center the day at 1 PM. It seems that in general society has decided hours after 12 PM are more useful than hours before 12 PM. It's far easier to just change the clocks to have 1 PM be midday, keeping DST year round, than to change society.

The situation with government data in the US is extremely frustrating. Between the government themselves and quasi-governmental private companies (the credit bureaus) they know practically everything about us—but we refuse to let them use that information in any kind of helpful way to make our lives easier and reduce our stress & workloads, because that would be "big brother" or a step toward ushering in the end times (for foreigners: yes, seriously, that's not a joke) or whatever.
This is rubbish. I like to ride my bike after work, which ends at 5pm. With DST I can ride all the way up to this week and still get home before dark. Please don't take this away from me, I hate it when it gets dark by 5pm.

Some people with children don't like that because "[their] children will have to go to school in the dark" during the winter. That's what killed legislation to make DST permanent where I live.
I don't know that I would consider writing macros a sign of language expertise. I work on a large, intricate Rust project and macro stuff, while it does come up occasionally, is not what I would see as the "elite" bit of writing Rust. The best Rust folks I have seen understand Rust's type system, how it relates to the memory model and how those relate to the underlying machine.

> I think poorly written and inconsistently applied laws is a big part of why the UK has become so selfish

It's much deeper than that. The UK's national identity is tied up in things that no longer exist: the British Empire and WW2. That was the peak, and everything since has been a decline.

People have become selfish because the British nation has evaporated. It barely exists. There is no sense of being compatriots, because there is nothing to be compatriots of.
>If you have doubts about the scientific understanding of the greenhouse effect, study up on that. But continually bringing up that 0.04% makes it sound like you are clinging to that fact as a "gotcha" and avoiding learning anything more.

After having spent decades debating "climate change deniers", I came to to the realization that the greenhouse effect as thought in schools is vastly oversimplified, and essentially no lay person understands it.

This is not to say that climate change isn't real, but most people don't have the technical background to educate each other, and attempt to do so based on inaccurate models.

Having read hundreds of articles, I still don't understand how to reconcile the greenhouse model with the fact that infrared radiation only travels ~10m in the atmosphere in the bandwidth absorbed by CO2.
Yep about licensing. Thank you.
Great feedback. I wish people knew that we can't read anything besides receipts (and we don't do anything with the data besides give it back to you)!

The Chinese people aren't evil. One can reasonably argue, however, that the CCP is. The greatest victim of the CCP has been and continues to be the Chinese people, who live in a dystopian surveillance state controlled by an authoritarian ruler who has fashioned himself as a new Mao and uses whatever tactics he deems appropriate to crush political threats, suppress dissent, and eliminate ethnic and religious minorities.

I have been living in Asia and for the past several years have lived approximately 100 miles away from the Chinese shores in a free and democratic country that is in grave danger because a man who can't stand being compared to a cartoon character and his sycophants believe that it belongs to them.

The US is not the land of saints, but to anyone who feels the urge to engage in whataboutism regarding China, I encourage you to read about the history of the CCP, what it has done and continues to do to the Chinese and Tibetan people, its ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs and what its goals are for the Indo-Pacific.

> China has triple the population of the US; it should be doing better.

Doing better by what metric? Look at China's GDP per capita. The country is desperately trying to escape the middle income trap and a lot of the growing tensions in the region are related to the fact that the real picture of what's happening in China is not as pretty as the one the CCP projects.
Yet it is so far from rigorous which makes it ripe for abuse. The "extreme" deviations are defined arbitrarily, evidenced by the fact that different offices of the Fed come up with different inflation numbers. Hence the chairman can choose one which is conveniently on target.

AMD has had multiple hiring rounds for Linux kernel engineers and their efforts regarding GPU support were never interrupted, so I dunno where you got that AMD fired "all their Linux engineers".
We got into this mess because the activist wing of the Democratic party doesn't know how to accept a win.

For example, in 2019, Pennsylvania did a bi-partisan electoral reform allowing widespread mail-in voting: https://www.governor.pa.gov/newsroom/governor-wolf-signs-ele...

What did Democratic activists do then? They sued to gut every compromise in that bi-partisan bill, including provisions that are common in mail-in voting systems all around the world, like requiring ballots to arrive by election day.
In the far west end of many timezones you never have post-work sunlight in the winter and the DST fight is over keep some post-work sunlight in the spring/fall and even parts of the summer.

Western edges of timezones often favor/prefer year-round "daylight time" because that's closer to their natural noon as US timezones especially heavily favor natural noon on the eastern border.
I mean, I'm not sure that _many_ would argue that. Most people would either take the view that Jesus had a human father, or that a miracle was involved. If nothing else, if he'd come about by this pathway, he'd be XX, which you'd think would have merited a mention in the Bible.

(It isn't totally unknown for XX people to be phenotypically male, and it'd fit with him having no kids, but really this seems like a needlessly complicated backstory for Jesus.)
Panpsychism: Not in Conflict with Physics
I tried again got it working this time. I turns out that in versions below 12 the way to set up mirroring of only 2 out of 3 displays is: "Press and hold the Option key and drag one display icon onto another display icon to mirror those two displays.". 10 years of using Mac every day and never knew it was possible.

It is pretty buggy though, "Arrangement" tabs stops working and I cannot change relative screen positions anymore, so to get it kinda working I had to set my real and dummy displays to the same lower resolution before dragging one onto the other and then I could set my desired resolution on dummy screen and it got mirrored onto physical screen.
This is not correct. In winter months, solar produces one tenth the power it does in summer - and even that is on average.

One cloudy January, and people would live in the dark for a month.
Bingo - I’m likely planning on returning my 16” for a 14”. After using the M1 air for the past year, the 16” just feels too big.

But even with a 14 day return policy, Apple cant just turn around and sell this as new. I have seen a few open box items at Best Buy though, usually discounted ~$100 or so.

Grandeur is one thing, but is it too much to ask for more than squalor? My experience using the NY Subway was immensely disappointing. I was shocked at how such a rich and important city could have such dilapidated and grimey stations.
yes - we had a specific hammer that worked pretty reliably where the potential energy from a light swing was close to perfect. You could use the hammer end of a splitting wedge too, but you had to be a bit lighter on the touch. Of course, the smaller nuts were always harder to crack.

We have open positions for backend (primarily Golang) and frontend (Typescript) engineers, SRE, as well as DevRel / Developer Advocate: https://angel.co/company/xata-inc/jobs

Xata.io is a fully distributed startup building a serverless database service. We all work remotely, usually from home, and we meet in person a couple of times per year in a nice location (once the pandemic allows). We value work-life balance, we don’t track hours and we don’t count PRs. We evaluate productivity and quality over a 3-4 months period.

We were featured on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28590816

If you are looking for greenfield development on a highly technical product that you can influence directly, this role is for you! We believe in well-tested and clean code, simple architectures, progress over perfection, and addressing technical debt early.
They may not allow in-store pickup of online orders, but they did have plenty of stock of the new MBPs when I checked last week.

Also, for anyone considering an MBP, it appears Apple will again offer 6% back on Apple Store purchases over Black Friday/Cyber Monday. They had this deal last year, and it was offered to some folks (seemingly accidentally) last week. It was quickly removed, but they're apparently honoring it for anyone who got in under the wire.
Well, to begin with, the the United States has never been completely democratic even at the best of times. If you run the clock back 50 years+ full rights were denied to many minorities. This was not microaggressions. It was full out refusal to treat people equally based on race.

For example, my first grade class in Alexandria, Virginia was in a segregated school. It was appropriately named Robert E Lee Elementary. Alexandria desegregated in 1966 and I went to school two blocks down the street instead of across town.

For more on how uneven progress in rights has been I highly recommend "The Republic for Which It Stands - The United States during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, 1865-1896" by Richard White. [0] It's a weighty tome but helped me see through a lot of the myth-making about American Democracy. Also, at least some of the issues dividing the nation seem like replays of disagreements that were never resolved after the Civil War.

CampusOptics | Senior React Engineer | Austin, TX | Onsite OR Remote

CampusOptics is building a first-of-its-kind campus safety platform for distributed campuses, starting in higher education. We enable teams of facilities and safety professionals to see the big picture, stay on top of the small details, and prevent harm on their campus.

A key piece of our strategy is our mobile application, built in React Native¹. We'd like to find an engineer to join us and serve as the linchpin of the mobile app going forward and take the lead on continued development. You'll walk into a high-quality codebase that's easy to work with, but you'll have something between input and autonomy on everything from ESLint rules to testing strategy to product direction.

We're a small team with big goals and lots of experience. We'd love to find someone excited to join early and eager to help lay the foundation for our practices, product, team, and codebase.
Email me (I'm a cofounder, the CTO, and the hiring manager) at jcody@campusoptics.com to hear more or start a conversation.

I had no idea there were that many salmonella infections in the US every year. Could irradiation be a solution? I know it is sometimes used on fruits and vegetables (wish it was used more, tbh).
Credible death threats are already illegal and can be handled through both criminal prosecution and civil restraining orders. We don't need any new laws. Sometimes the existing laws aren't enforced effectively, but piling on more laws won't solve that problem.
