I would suggest lobster tastes worse when boiled alive. Any animal that has an endocrine system is likely to taste worse when boiled alive. My understanding is that adrenaline rush caused by immense stress eat up the glycogen stores in muscles which in turn prevents the production of lactic acid to tenderize the meat postmortem. I can't imagine this would be any different in lobsters than basically every other animal.
By "laser printer" do they mean regular office printer or laser engraver? It's a bit hard to believe that the super thin layer of black paint produces an imprint thats significant enough for this to work.

Yes, I had a job like that. At one point I literally had nothing to do, even after asking.

I made getting another job a priority, which was compounded by a 360 review (job feedback) that was meant to be anonymous, but turned out to be anything but. The fallout was my supervisor left (might be been asked to) and I got a job elsewhere - 50% better pay and infinitely more stimulating.

Find a way to the exit.
These organizational breakdowns in tech communities (recently Rust,.NET, Elm) make me much more appreciative of long-running, relatively healthy communities.
No. Guessing they were self-elected. The fact that they won’t disclose what the issue is or the nature of the issue, it’s likely they were being little whiney kids.

To me, it looks like moderators somehow want to usurp power that the ACTUAL devs should have.
I have to admit that Flatpak's runtime deduplication is impressively good, despite preferring the Nix approach.

It's a shame to hear that kind of talk coming from the openSUSE world when Zypper did so much to raise the bar for high-level Linux distro package management tools. :(

openSUSE does an awesome job getting a hell of a lot of mileage out of RPM, from the vendor-based repo management to BTRFS snapshots to the huge and powerful (cross-distro!) automated build service.
You can now buy a flying car for $92,000
If there is traffic, that means that your spot behind the cyclist will immediately be replaced by another car. If everyone acts like that, the biker caries a bubble of faster-than-average cars with them. Hardly ideal.

I propose a different protocol: Slow down, and follow the cyclist until the situation allows to safely overtake the cyclist at a nice distance without speeding up too much. You will still travel faster than the cyclist, and you have actively contributed to the safety of the cyclist.
It's more them saying be skeptical of anything the accused says about the situation, which is common sense in that the "wrongdoer" will more than likely spin the story to save face. Unlike a court of law, they're under no oath.

They may make a statement about the situation if the core team decides to release details on the situation, but they don't want to be the first to do so, so they're simply saying be skeptical if the core team speaks out because it may not be the whole story.
The question is price. If capacity is cheap, then you don't need to fill it with a billion dollar sat to justify the launch. We can start sending cheaper things to space, such as product/medical design labs to fill the cargo bay.

It's always been true ;)

If you put it to a vote, majority of americans will allocate public funds towards terrestrial concerns over a new space lab.

What’s odd? Supply and demand. More people want direct flights so they cost more money.

I just find it hard to understand on how you are suppose to see if the group is above the rules or how you can find any possible solutions, when what is supposed to have exemplified the problem is kept in the dark.

I remember reading a story many years ago a about a boy that got a nerve severed and later they opened the wound to remove the scar in the nerve and reconnect the nerve, so it regrows. The problem was that after cutting the scar, the nerve was shorter, so they have to take a shortcut in the elbow.

Any business has fixed costs that are ignored in toy examples.

Let's say the drug costs $750M to develop, $1/dose to produce, sales are free and no other fixed costs exist. Let's also pretend that you can sell during the full patent period of 20 years, but expect to be out-competed by generics after that. Also you need one dose per day.

750 million divided by 20 years and 365 days per year is 106000 (rounded up).

The company could sell the medication for

1) $107 per dose, 1000 people can afford it and the company makes $0 profit.

2) $1000 per dose, 900 people can afford it, the company makes $880 profit per dose, for a total of $792,000/day

3) $10000 per dose, 100 people can afford it, the company makes $9882 profit per dose, for a total of $988,200

The research raises the lowest viable cost, and becomes more expensive per dose as you make fewer doses, but with an example as extreme as GPs it doesn't really matter (with the exception that we now have to assume the existence of some kind of insurance with copay, otherwise I don't know how 900 people afford $365k/year in medical costs). And you can still come in with the offer to purchase 1000 doses per day at a price that satisfies both sides.
about two or three months ago, I added type annotations to one of my libraries, but the intellisense didn't make any use of that.
But it's the parts that are easily forgeable (fingerprints, retinas, etc) that are being relied upon. By "forgeable" I mean "things that someone else can also have by creating copies."

I don't think we have yet good metrics on how to detect specific individuals using a full-body scan. Not to mention the invasiveness of creating your personal initial dataset. Most folks won't stand for it. So right back to parts that are forgeable...

Over here we have that, well something similar, outside of towns and cities for one lane. In cities max 2 lanes, with a 50 kmh speed limit. And those are rare, street cross section have traffic lights and those from parking lots are scary enough. And slow enough, it is sometimes faster to not cross lanes and just turn around at the next traffic light.
Almost anything in the real world that works and is not dysfunctional is built on hierarchies. Where hierarchies are not explicitly spelled out they are implicit and without accountability - "some animals are more equal than others".

How to promote on merit and not nepotism or corruption is the hard problem.

This isn't a fork of the type system. Python's type annotations are formally part of the language, a program correctly typing on mypy will also typecheck on Pylance etc. The OP is a different implementation of type checking, runtime as opposed to static.

Python's problem is that there is no equivalent of @types/*, which is in fact a notable issue but also entirely orthogonal.
Big tech companies rarely have a problem pushing a start date a few months in the future. At my last positions at G and Snap, HR had no problem accommodating my request that I not start until about 5 months after my interview. I was just upfront and told them that for some personal reasons, I'd be taking an extended break between positions, and wasn't interested in interviewing unless they could promise me a start date around that time.

So? Are you going to blame them for seeing the reality as it truly is?
IBM i and AIX still run big, in fact. Important for IBM's institutional customers.

As for endian shifts, technically every OpenPOWER chip goes big for every OPAL call into the low-level HAL, even if the OS is little. The overhead is minimal. I can't think of much application use for that, though (per-page endianness which some PowerPCs supported is much more useful).
Does this moderation team even contributes to the code base to feel that the members of the core team have to adapt to follow some stupid code of conduct?
If the suggestion is that Flask should use a random other available port: that could be done, but generally people usually prefer to manually pick a different port themselves. Having a dev server come up on different ports all the time is not a great user experience.
Heh. I couldn't help it, even if it doesn't make much sense. Still, I wouldn't trust them on teams where the goal is transparency and fairness, that's for sure.

> terrible keyboard, terrible screen

This sounds like a problem with one device, not the whole concept. I have used devices with great keyboards and screens. You just have to pay more.

> terrible shell experience

In what way?
In context, I read this as:

"We're not going to say what, specifically, one or more Core Team members are being held unaccountable for. If the Core Team does say what, specifically, we aren't necessarily going to respond. Don't take our non-response as an endorsement that this is what it's about."
I really wanted one ever since they announced the first model, but something has been stopping me. Now that I'm a little older and mature I realize that my instincts not to buy this thing were completely right.

How can a device like this not have an ability to make annotations?... What's worse, the highlights you make on the book are not indexed. To me, it's insane.

I think one can hack this together with Kobo, I believe. But should you really buy a device for $500+ to hack it together?

Once this device supports proper E-Reader features, it will be a great iPad alternative, IMHO. And I'll be a big purchase candidate.
This is a good point. I would suggest this sort of branching out too. But I hope you realize how rare was your hire in the industry.
Ask HN: How do you quickly add calendar events in Linux?
I'm coming from Mac with Fantastical installed. With that I could quickly add an event to my calendar by opening Fantastical's quick add menu (a single click in the mac menubar, or a keyboard shortcut) and typing a natural language description of the event "Call with Mike tomorrow at 10am EST".

I'm finding a lot of friction when trying to add events in Linux. So far, the only ways I really have are to open up Evolution, which is very bulky for such a quick task, or open the Nextcloud calendar web app, which also takes quite a bit of time.

Are there any faster always-on tools for adding an event to a calendar in Linux with a single keyboard shortcut or click? Any good menu-bar apps for interacting with calendars? What do you use?
The port registration system effectively broke down somewhere in the 90ies. There are just too many software projects that need ports in a very limited space. The software we're discussing here (AirPlay apparently) also did not register this port.

This is true for far too many people for it to get anywhere, I suspect.
There are always types of events that are not suitable for public discourse (pretty much any form of harassment or abuse, where victims are still subject to pressure or were yet unable to process what happened falls into this category). I have no insight into what happened but it's not hard for me to imagine what could prompt moderation team to resign w/o disclosing specific instances.
This is my point. Gelsinger milked all the profit out of VMWare when it was a cash cow, but sacrificed VMWare's future. They were #1 in virtualization, setup to dominate the cloud. Not only did they let it go, their partnerships made it EASIER to migrate to competitor CSPs.
> I've been looking for a simple package management solution that doesn't interfere with my OS and simply puts all packages in /some_location/package/version, and that allows me to install packages on remote machines together with the other packages they depend on.

Almost anything that achieves this will necessarily be as "overengineered" as Nix. What you're asking as it turns out is not a simple problem at all, and a "simple" approach to it will end up rather fragile.
I'm generally in favor of enforcing high-level "behave professionally" norms in OSS communities. And not as a new phenomenon, either. I've been kick-banning disruptive people from IRC channels for several decades, I've run forums where I appointed mods, and I've always avoided participating in completely unmoderated communities beyond N=20 or so (not worth the headache).

But for some reason, the formalization of conduct enforcement stuff around OSS projects still feels weird, off-putting, and very "Corporate HR"-y to me. I still get a kinda awkward feeling every time I see a code of conduct in a freaking code repository as opposed to an MOTD or mailing list welcome email or the like. The contents is normally reasonable and if it were in one of those other formats it'd feel normal, but checked into a code repo just feels wildly out of place and needlessly in-your-face?

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Most of the time, you buy fewer than one ticket per leg. Often the interfaces or forms are more fancy or extensive; perhaps implying security.

Hindsight /km payment for international travel would not readily take your mind off of distances beyond the travel time; you'd never know how much to pay. Every international card has recognition issues in some countries/places, or limited ticket stations serve special deals. Countries probably vary in their use of smartcard gates etc further complicating such deals.

I was wondering about train pricing and train pricing ideals. There's a large factor of involvement of the cost of finance, as they're expensive projects. The market-technical pricepoint relates to alternative modes of travel, but the nature of mobility does not. This relates to hyperloop etc.

It would be neat to have fast-train New York - London/Paris/Amsterdam - (... more stops, have skip-trains ...) Bejing - Seoul/Busan - Tokyo, maybe Australia would even pay to have one next to a brand new city in the northeast of the country.. But the scale implies enough industry to have issues being expressed in regular currencies - and it should have fargoing implications to live so proximate; in one of the world-cities.

But how many people would you expect to make the journey? And whatfor? Is the economy of it the leading choice, or is prestige a factor? What is the balance of advantages at different price-points, or at different expectations of traffic volume. It might be added value for tickets to be ~20 euro's (cheaper even per hour than 'typical' train fair, probably impossible without large volume and subsidy), instead of the 'serious hassle' <300 that a "regular international intercity" tends to go for. In fairness to potential comfort, fares could be 2000 euro's, but this would greatly reduce the potential volume and application range.

Another question could be, why are countries ran 'retroactively' nowadays? I'd rather the news stated there was debates about future trains, proactive regulation of automation and small electric vehicles, something to tie science like a horse for improvement, rather than to consider (promoting) improvements indirectly; through a market.
Why does a language need a “moderation team”? C++ seems to do fine without one.

I reckon, Ruby and Rails while still heavily used has fallen out of fashion since it's peak time, whereas Python has gotten a huge boost in recent years from data science and being a common teaching language which spilled over to other uses of the language.

In the mid 2010s the python web application space felt very stagnant to me, many semi abandoned projects, lots of people leaving for other technologies. But there has been quite some reversal on that since.

"In this case, one of the objections has been that the final destination of the traffic is not German. There are similar challenges with other countries. But if we are to have train traffic in the EU, we must accept and let traffic through, says Minister of Infrastructure Tomas Eneroth"

Everything donkeyd said paired with critical advice:

The moment someone offers you an opp to do something in the direction you’re interested in going, moonlighting or not, and the finances work at at least a minimum level for you, take it. No, doesn’t matter if you’re a little or a lot under-qualified - say yes and figure it out later.

The highest chance of pivoting successfully, and IMO why many people never pull it off, is how you evaluate the above situation when it happens. Grind it out for 6-18 months, and you have a whole new resume as entry level in tech/w-e your goal is. From there, things open.

By saying yes, once you get something tech-y on your resume and enter into that new network, things just expand and expand. At that point it’ll hard to fail on your transition goal.

Many people however say no - they’re not ready enough, they have too many other things going on, etc. What they don’t realize is, especially with an incomplete resume (no college, college but non-technical, a bootcamp but a so-so one, etc), this is how many (or my guess - the majority) of career lateral transfers happen: seizing the opp when it shows up. They say no out of talent insecurity and fear, no realizing everyone one else is sort of making it up as they go along too early on.

Say yes when opps open up. That’s your window, your “shot,” will look like.

This exactly. You sound very risk averse. If you're going to take a small pay cut to work 40 hours at Target paying 15$ an hour this is exactly what you should do.
