DARPA has been thinking about this: https://www.darpa.mil/attachments/AISS_ProposersDay_LeefSlid... (aside: fascinating example of a US military slide deck, like a 90s fever dream made in Harvard Graphics) Here’s also

Yeah that's a great point, the data really makes you pause and say "is this worth the cost?" The other wearable that has had an extreme impact on my lifestyle has been a Dexcom CGM through Levels. I could write pages about

In terms of wearables, it's quite unobtrusive because it's literally just a ring. There is no display to become distracted with. The inside of the ring will glow when it's taking measurements (red for blood oxygen, green for

Sharing my own anecdata: my Oura ring shows that on days I drink, RHR is 10bpm higher and HRV about 15ms lower. Exercise has a huge impact on sleep quality too. My theory is that when you're young, your body has a much wider margin for

I don't get to exercise my dusty algorithms knowledge nearly enough to follow this nearly as well as I'd like. Are we talking about the bin packing problem and approximation ratios? So, is the intuition here that when the ratio of

Slightly younger old-timer here: I feel I've gone on the full spectrum on .emacs files and keybindings, at least for emacs versions commensurate with my own vintage. In the early 2000s I used emacs while writing C++, I was writing Lisp

This is approximately one of the opening ideas in the Commonwealth Saga by Peter Hamilton. Highly recommended!

I did something similar for emacs here: https://twitter.com/hagmonk/status/1338965551775764481 and got similar looking improvements. I also benchmarked Leiningen startup times: https://gist.github.com&#

Not going to help you in this case; Kubernetes does not log an OOMKilled event. Issue tracking this has been open for some time: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/69676 Tracking OOMKilled counts

In my mind, a media organization censoring a story that could aid Trump just days before the election is acting for the greater social good. I don't feel that optimizing for Greenwald's personal value system at this particular ti

I ordered two of them (one by accident, LOL) two months ago. Haven’t heard anything since. No order updates. Emails to their sales team have gone unanswered. Not sure if my case is typical but that might have been $450 I never see again …

I'm not offended in the slightest. Except by your misuse of the apostrophe. I agree that nobody was hurt in "it is making." Note that this is my idea of fun, and you don't have to be offended by it. The purpose of my com

The project banner depicting a damsel in distress on the railway tracks is going to make some people twitch. I'd avoid that distraction by picking something gender neutral. My 2c.

Why didn't the OP turn on two step verification? Amazon does support this.

This is perceptive. As a society we must tolerate a diversity of opinions. Everything must be open to question and debate. But after questioning and debate, there must be a final disposition that lets us move on to other challenges. How we

I kind of love the idea that it's an optimization because the universe would have a shitty frame rate if light's quantum state wasn't lazily evaluated based on whether anyone's viewport was aimed at it.

I wholeheartedly agree with the need to make cultural fit bigger than just "happy hour" fit, but primarily on moral grounds. I haven't seen strong data to make a technical case here. Do we observe discrepancies between compan

Yes, @dreamcatcher is misinterpreting my sentiment, or I was not clear in communicating it. I absolutely do not support any racial stereotypes of Indians or anyone else - my point is that others do this because they wish to oversimplify t

The article comes across as whiny because he's a New Zealander. So cut the guy some slack, he can't help it :) As an Australian working for a large tech company, I totally feel this guy's position. It never leaves me, the sen

What specifically is slow about Yosemite? I'm sure there are plenty of Apple engineers who read HN and take note, even if they don't chime in. As for Linux it looks like you're stuck with something that fiddles with/repl

I know where you're coming from there. It depends on the company. I think hiring is the most important thing a company does, so it's really critical to get everyone wanting to participate. I'd suggest that most push back folk

Yes, the candidate should know in advance if there is a particularly structured interview technique being used, for sure. Because it also requires a lot of mental commitment from the interview team as we'll as the candidate, I'd r

So I tried a new approach inspired by this kind of interview question. In a nutshell: it aims to simulate the interactions you'll have with the candidate when they receive their first project, without the time burn of a full pair progr
