That's interesting; care to elaborate, out of genuine curiosity?

I don't care about fashion, even a little bit. I don't agree with grand-parent post that you need fancy clothes to attract a mate. I'm happy to buy 5 copies of exact same thing that fits me. But in terms of sheer physical comfort, I'm endlessly perplexed by casual fridays and even more so by e.g. people who change out of business casual clothes and into jeans the millisecond they're home (which is basically everyone I know, so I admit I'm clearly the exception:)

A tall lanky male, I find basic business-casual pants the most light weight, practical, not-in-my-way comfortable, well breathing, perfect temperature pants. Jeans are way too constraining and hard and inflexible! In 90% of the weather they put too much heat and pressure on my nether regions. In both cut and material, they were designed to be hard-wearing, not comfortable, so I assume it's psychology that has people prefer them. And most sweat pants don't breathe as well as my lightweight casual business dress pants either, and don't fit me around hips/waist - they either fall off, or are too tight.

The business-casual pants are "inappropriate" to wear at home, so I don't, but I put them on anytime we really go anywhere. People make fun that I'm "way over dressed", and fair enough, but for the life of me I don't understand what is "uncomfortable" about lightweight business casual pants and loose, not-tucked-in polo shirt.

(not to mention that "looking good" is not necessarily a button down shirt and dress pants to begin with, but that's another relevant conversation:)
Former google employee, no knowledge of current situation, not involved in any of this stuff even when I worked there: different types of data get handled differently. If material is important enough then it's going to be backed up onto tape for disaster recovery purposes. If a user then requests it be deleted, that's a huge pain - the easiest thing to do is just wait until that tape has rotated out of backup, which may take a while.

More sensitive user data is likely to be handled differently - both for privacy reasons and because it's honestly just not as important to keep hold of it (a user's cloud data gets lost? That's a big deal. A user's location history data gets lost? Meh), so it's unlikely to end up in long-term backup storage.
I really don't think the the reduced quality in results is because the Internet is too big all of a sudden.

VecTcLab: Emulate working with linalg packages like Matlab in a Tcl environment
I don't know, and I don't really care. Any sufficiently complicated technology is indistinguishably from magic, and I don't trust magic to manage my finances. L1 chains are simple and their trust models are transparent, I don't think any L2 chain is going to see widespread adoption when decidedly better alternatives exist.
Redesigning reduces, or can reduce, waste, cost, and risk.
Windows doesn't have a malloc. The API isn't libc like conventional Unix and shared libraries on Windows don't generally expect to be able to mutually allocate one another's memory. Msvcrt as shipped is effectively a compatibility library and a dependency for people who want to ship a small exe.
Not cheaply. Milling machines are very expensive, and if your dentist bought one you're paying the note.
What makes you think countries like UAE or Hungary haven't already asked Google for this information?
A majority of Americans think we should interpret the constitution in a modern light [1]. The young, secular, internet-age population are going to challenge the constitution further as the generation of Reagan and American exceptionalism go to the nursing home. I'm sure of it. It's a shame we have to suffer the death rattle of traditionalists in the meantime.

Those high salaries remind me of the stories of heavy smokers who didn't die of cancer or COPD. I think it's very unlikely to get those high salaries in Europe. Comparing them to salaries in Silicon Valley without context isn't really smart. I have always tried to see bay area salaries as as risk compensation.

E g. In Vienna/Austria a 2-3 bedroom apartment here is about 1-2k while in the bay area it's between 5-10k. If I lose my job I still have a social net that will soften my fall, while in SV you're on your own and can get evicted from one day to the other. We have a single payer healthcare system while in the US certain health issues can, despite being insured, lead to financial ruin.

That being said my salary was until now always a 5-figure salary. In my upcoming job I will for the first time in my career path get a 6-figure salary which excluding bonuses is 70% higher and including bonuses can be up to 89% higher than currently. It took me quite some while to get there, and I can assure others that jobs paying those amounts don't grow on trees. It requires both talent and charisma, and honestly also luck, to land such a job. Constantly switching jobs and chasing slightly higher salaries definitely isn't the way to go.
I definitely agree, but for your use cases wouldn't there be more appropriate texts like for example Meaning and Argument:

Not judging the original commenters Dad, but I had parents like this, and quite honestly there is only one word to describe it and it's ignorance, close-mindedness, or whatever you want to call it. My therapist is quite happy that such a things existed, in my case. LOL.

Super helpful Mason, thank you!
I am no expert on Ada, but it was probably inspired by Dijkstra's 1965 Cooperating Sequential Processes with his "parbegin/parend" additions to Algol 60.

Or perhaps by the wildly popular Communicating Sequential Processes by Hoare in 1985 (the 3rd most cited thing in Computer Science for over 20 years after publication) which called the control brackets "cobegin/coend" in Hoare's section 7.2.2. [1]

Is it a failure to see the pattern? Or are they actively seeking higher revenue, whether or not it hurts the long term prospects of the students?
Such a thing is inexcusable! The only appropriate response must be to stop protecting your data entirely.
> Hopefully someone can tell me how to hack love!

Have to say I had to laugh at this. I went on a bicycle ride with my wife this evening, just the two of us, we left all three kids at home ... alone :eek: House still standing when we returned :)

Be aware that having kids is like starting an avalanche. You have no idea where it's going or what's going to happen. I really mean it.

Good luck!
You don’t have to read it all. Also I think you can turn off issues/wiki on github as well.
Government services can work - but at what cost?

We routinely had multimillions public projects to build crappy website for our universities.

It was something the students could have done better for less than 100k.

After you factor in all the corruption and inefficiency caused by not having competition, you can end up paying a high multiple of what is reasonable.
This might get a bad rep but I've had this experience too. It's not a blanket statement though.
Outsourcing is fine but you definitely have need to do your homework. That's why you see a few of the outsourcing companies being bought over by their employers, because they're good.

Out of curiosity and related to another HN topic, have you ever hired freelancers directly?
Not really. Use whatever technology that you know best, but hide unnecessary complexity through the right tools. I'm not sure about the OP, but I had extremely good experience when I was in Netflix. A single engineer, Joe Sondow, created the app Asgard. Using Asgard, I didn't need anyone to teach me how to configure clusters or networking topologies. The app got affordance, consistency, and constraints right, to the point that at any point what I guessed was either right or the only way to complete my tasks. Michael from the cloud team created command-line tools for managing AMIs. They exposed just what one needs to achieve while hiding anything about how things were done. As a result, I can still remember how to use these tools, years after I left Netflix. Similarly for doing service discovery, fault injection, load balancing, autoscaling, predictive autoscaling, logging events, publishing metrics, and the list can go on. Everything in Netflix, at least when I was there, followed the unspoken principle of making everything a non-event: zero unnecessary mental load, maximum flexibility, maximum freedom to engineers, and full transparency. Things just happened. Tools were just in place. The tools could be primitive and could lack of features, but the they did not get in my way whatsoever.
I’m happy to chat if you like. I’m a Dating Coach - www.alittlenudge.com. I will say, though, that I don’t allow people to say “still” anything. You’re not still unmarried, as if there is only one solution. You are simply single and looking. This is not a contest or a race. It’s your life.

Simple intro to FPGAs, but way too optimistic and promotional. The "Cost" section in particular is detached from the realities of the industry. (It's written by Goldman Sachs.)
This misses the point of my comment. When you put faith in malloc, you're putting hope in a lot of heuristics that may or may not degenerate for your particular workload. Windows is an outlier with how bad it is, but that should largely be irrelevant because the code should have already been insulated from the system allocator anyway.

An over-dependence on malloc is one of the first places I look when optimizing old C++ codebases, even on Linux and Darwin. Degradation on Linux + macOS is still there, but more insidious because the default is so good that simple apps don't see it.
I have a friend that’s kind of similar to how you’ve described yourself. She’s in her mid thirties, and she calls me for dating/relationship advice and we always laugh together about how absurd her situation is.

At the end of the day, for her, she doesn’t really know what she wants in a partner. By that I don’t mean she doesn’t know whether or not she wants to get married or have kids, but more granular detail like “Do I need an exercise buddy?” “How important is it how they comport themselves at sex parties?” “Do I want to be involved in their family?” etc.

I read your entire post and learned nearly nothing about you as an individual so I can’t really dispense any earnest advice.

I do have questions though!

1. Is there a common theme of what ends these relationships or stops them from maturing? If so, what?

2. What is your relationship history? e.g. have you ever had a serious or long term relationship? If so, what happened there? If not, do you have any idea why that is the case?

3. Have you dated any of your male friends? In my experience, the absolute best way to start a healthy relationship is to start with a healthy friendship. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but companionship rocks.
They do, but I find emails easier to sort and review later. Push notifications quickly become a pile of clutter on the Lock Screen
I suppose that is true, if you reason narrowly.

There is another force in play: the degree to which support makes the individual more powerful. I am much closer to my full potential as a problem solver when surrounded by effective management/facilities/IT/legal/differently-specialized-peers/enough-people-to-work-on-truly-large-systems than when I go it alone. Having spent significant time both as a freelancer and in mind bogglingly huge corporations, the corp lifestyle has its drawbacks for sure -- but I myself find the benefits of support and large problems to dramatically outweigh the drawbacks of politics and lack of freedom. Your mileage may vary, of course. Shoot, my mileage has varied over the course of a career. Still, the intuition seems solid: you aren't going to be solving Google-datacenter or Amazon-logistics levels of problems with your personal startup calendar app. At least, not usually, not for a while.

If there is a minimum size market which can maximize the impact of a good developer, I suspect there might be a minimum size company, too.

What are your weaknesses? Finding someone who has the skills that compliment you are more important than finding someone with identical interests. In my opinion you would want someone to be independent and have their own interest and be willing to blend their lifestyle with yours. I'm married to an accountant and her technical skills and background are substantially different from my own. We don't have the same opinion on everything and don't need to be perfectly aligned to feel like we both have the perfect family.
People are actually afraid to say that directly for fear they'll be forked out of their own project. It's a legitimate fear, but it's also a fair fork. OSS maintainers are not responsible to us, but neither are we responsible to them. That's not how gifts work. If your maintainer is having an emotional breakdown or just wants to do something else, you route around it.

> Expecting Google to frame their mission

They're not just framing their mission - they're redefining privacy. And there are plenty of companies that minimize the data they gather for exactly this reason ("considering themselves a threat", as you put it). Signal, Red Hat, Canonical, Duck Duck Go...
I didn't want to turn my comment in a did they already or didn't they debate.

The fact that this data COULD be asked for should be enough to stop collecting it.
What specific data retention laws are you talking about and how do they apply to what is essentially involuntary telemetry?
This is how you grow a winter crop in a warehouse. Right now we are burning tons of fuel to ship fresh produce between northern and Southern Hemispheres depending on which is experiencing the growing season. This could be the path to local fresh produce year round. Possibly more environmentally friendly than the current method.
There is no paradox. Buying a house is more expensive than maintaining it, partly because maintenance is somewhat independent of purchase price.

I think you’re trying to say that an expensive house is more expensive to maintain than a cheap house. That’s true. But the salary required to buy any given house is higher than the salary required to maintain it, for the most part. I’m sure there are counter examples, but on the whole most people who pay off their mortgage experience a pay raise, effectively, which has been my own experience.
100%. Relatedly, this is why I'm ultra-skeptical of just about everything AI is hyped up to be these days. Computers are nowhere near us in terms of being able to synthesize all this stuff and actually doing helpful things for humans in this space.
What data retention law are you referring to that requires search history retention?

I understand your perspective, but disagree.

Central governance is, in some ways, a response to complexity. If you extend the "governing as close to the local level as possible" too far, you risk an unnuanced understanding because the local level can't be an expert on every system they interface with. For example, do you have the knowledge to accurately assess the risk when you take a flight? If you're like most people, you probably don't know enough about aircraft maintenance, or avionics, or pilot training etc. I know libertarians may disagree but don't think a mish-mash of localities helps in this case either, at least not in the short-to-medium term when you risk a lot of bad days before everyone agrees on a set of standards. This is exacerbated because of a lot of cognitive biases regarding how we perceive risk. Particularly with big systems with lots of complicated interfaces, the lowest level of effective governance may start looking an awful lot like a centralized government.

I would argue it could be better improved with fundamentally refocusing politicians attention. When half their time is spent campaigning, it obviously constrains their ability to craft policy.
Yeah I’m very confused. Every single thing mentioned can be improved through better designs.

Looking back, I sort of wish we'd started with the kids somewhat earlier (#1 was born when I was 34).

Having said that, we did a load of stuff before that that we couldn't have done had we had kids sooner.

Life has a habit of throwing curveballs. Having kids just adds to that, massively.
Just because something could potentially backfire doesn't mean you have to avoid it, but you should have a contingency plan in place.

You have to opt-in to location history, and it seems to me Google is trying to act in good faith by automatically deleting information that might be sensitive. Who are we asking to bet their lives? People who don't feel like turning off their phone before going to the clinic and have opted-in to location history?
Even without the standard deviations I think averages are an often abused tool. If you take any statement following the lines of "group X is better at task then group Y on average", while it might help you win in the long term in a betting scenario it doesn't actually provide any information on whether any individual from group X is better at the task then any individual from group Y

For B&W negadoctor is very easy, nothing major with it other than setting white balance, then setting the film base colour and then adjusting D-MIN/D-MAX to the exposure you want. You can then leave it there or go crazy.

Colour is a bit more hands on and with negadoctor you really can get a nice starting base but it's much more manual. You need to make sure colour profiles and white balance match your scaner/dslr scan. The you need to set up the shadow casts and highlight colours. Much more manual just to then get a rather flat image with correct colours to your liking. Then it's more regular raw workflow so altering contrast and saturation but it's nothing too hard still. But it's 100% more hands on the using NLP (this is what I'm assuming you are using. Check YouTube see what you think.
I don't think phsyical assault cannot cause lifelong damage. Is it a terrible weakness of my privilege that I would like a society where other people have such a good life as I have had, instead of a difficult stressful dog-eat-dog life to try and toughen them up to survive a dog-eat-dog life? As if that's my business?

Overcoming challenges builds character, but wouldn't it be nicer if you chose the challenges? If you had built strength by choosing to do Karate and learn Mandarin instead of being badly beaten up being foisted upon you? Women report being catcalled from puberty around age 13; is your response to that "if anything it makes them stronger; women who didn't get catcalled are just privileged and weak"?
Not sure why but I laughed out loud reading this.

It's open source, you can change anything. The UI shouldn't be so annoying and hostile out of the box regardless.

I suspect they are actually talking about the modern/redistributable C/C++ runtime, not the old msvcrt.dll.

Microsoft refer to the modern libraries as the "Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries", so shortening that to MSVCRT doesn't seem unreasonable.

there's a weird licensing thing for the VC runtime where you can't redistribute the dll alongside your code unless you have a special license. instead, you have to install it as an MSI. I have no idea why they created that restriction. I even work for MS and it baffles me.
