It looks like a decent device, but Onyx's attitude towards open source makes it a non-starter. http://bbs.onyx-international.com/t/please-provide-source-co... https://www.reddit.com/r/Remarkab

Huh, looks like a modern-day WinHelp. That looks like it's moving in the wrong direction though. I doubt many people want a big completely offline doc blob in this day and age.

Interesting to see that people do in fact receive this information. My guess is only the first key hires will be told this and not the rank and file joining after series A, for example. In my experience laughter may be overstating it a bit

And even if you manage to convince your manager to consider you for the promotion/transfer often they'll ask you to start doing the new job on the side for a bit to prove yourself. Now, how good are you going to be at something n

Why databases specifically? Would you be open to other systems-type work? That would probably significantly expand your options. My last job was at a company that makes data storage systems ( https://www.purestorage.com/ ).

Kids versions don't come in anything higher than 1mg and one can make it a half-dose quite easily. It's really more of a last resort thing, and definitely not for every night's bedtime. How last resort? Maybe once or twice

Benadryl, no. But melatonin, sometimes, yes. My rule is to have a hard cutoff time after which it's better to take melatonin than to continue the cycle of whining, sleep deprivation, and next-day misery. The cutoff is late enough to

Hmm, the weight loss definitely happens, but I wouldn't call it easy. Non-stop headache, complete inability to focus, and terrible crankiness. At some point one starts to wonder if it's better to just be chubby :)

Here's what's interesting. We take this "projects have deadlines" idea as gospel and if you dare question it you are an immoral heathen with a poor work ethic. So you have a software engineer at Apple ruining his mental

Imagine saying "Yeah, there are human feces all over my living room and kitchen, but the bedrooms are clean. Overall it is a great place to live." Whenever I visit SF I run into someone who looks like an extra from a zombie movie

But an individual person is not a foreign entity, especially not if they are a US citizen. There is the loophole for "representing interests of a foreign principal before US government officials" though, so I guess this is written

In 1890s? In other words, soon after China lost the second Opium War. The British took Hong Kong and secured their right to poison the populace with opium. Are you sure colonialism was not at play?

That is unfortunate. I tried them out based on a blog post, so I knew about the monthly subscription after the trial period, but that is poor marketing for sure. I have no relationship with that startup (other than being a user).

No, companies can be rich and still have a culture of cutting corners and rushing stuff to market.

A lot of legal departments have a mental image of AGPL (and GPL) as a bogeyman that will steal all the company's code if allowed anywhere near the building. I've sat through a presentation one time that tried to paint these licen

They are just really good at self-delusion or not very good at lying. Either that, or that's some really crappy meditation, book paragraphs, notes, or all of the above.

The real takeaway, for me at least, is the degree to which all culture is mass-produced by a small cabal. Books coming out simultaneously around the world due to work of nameless translators with timed bathroom breaks? Movie tie-in coming

The people who propose this kind of regime change should be honest about it. They should come outright with "first we'll kill a couple of atom bomb's worth of you, and the rest will live happily ever after". The human

Can you share any positive stories about a US-led outrage about human rights, followed by regime change, followed by prosperity? There are plenty of examples of the first two conditions, but I don't recall any that meet the third one.

FCC has issued guidance for manufacturers to protect against modifications that would break FCC rules. The easiest way to do that is to have a closed-source baseband firmware. https://prplfoundation.org/fcc-open-source-rout

But it could have worked. At some point the hype cycle could have become self-sustaining. What you are calling pump and dump could be seen as starting an internal combustion engine. It's just that Clubhouse sputtered instead of firin

My own view is this: money is a metric that our society uses as a measure of usefulness of a certain individual for others in the collective. Like any metric, it is imperfect and doesn't capture nuance very well. When you optimize for

Well, the whole article is about the flaws in the format :) But the answer in this case is Huffman coding. The most common sequences compress to just a few bits, but backreferences and such are not byte-aligned, they just follow literals i
