Please note:

1) I don't know who the folks at 37 signals are. Please refer to people that are widely known outside of your little bubble, please.

2) Writing a scientific paper is hard work. Writing a thesis is hard work. Writing a book is even harder. But Rand's novels are not in the same league as Dostoevski's. Not even close. Everyone can be an author, only few can be writers.

3) The irony is that Rand glorified a class of people she did not belong to. The world would have been different (and poorer) without Edison, Tesla, Bell, Shannon, and the like. If Rand had never existed, the world would have been exactly the same. She had zero real impact, like most philosophers of the 20th Century. Discussing "ideas" that are not even properly defined is mental masturbation, not profound thinking.
Absolutely right. That's actually what I was thinking. It should be built into the OS. Same for adblock in IE (too late for that, maybe).

And there needs to be serious backup software built into every version of Windows (not just the premium versions). The recovery discs should be as ubiquitous as AOL CDs, recovery partitions on every hard drive, etc. Backups should be on by default and as simple to use as Time Machine.

In fact, if they were really going to do it right, they'd go to a repository system for software (like Linux uses), give free online backups for user data to everyone, and basically make the process of duplicating your home computer somewhere and somewhen else a point and click exercise.

Instead, what we get is a company that manages to steal Apple's bad ideas, ignores its own innovative ideas, and delivers products that are only 90% there. It's painful to see so much wasted potential.

Ah well, if Microsoft shareholders ever get tired of Ballmer and want to give me a call, I'm on the internet.
Are you aware of the irony of what you just did?
Morality? Silicon Valley? This is a place that made its bones developing technology for the military. Now we're talking about ethics?

Google's "don't be evil" has always been a snide joke, as they pull in $60 billion a year selling their users lives to corporate America. The rest of the valley is not any better. Where is the supposition that this place ever had ideals to lose coming from? Amoral commerce is de rigeur here. Not shocking - you don't get to throw that much money around unless you are fucking someone for it.
Nope, no luck. I'm guessing that it simply won't work with Virtualbox.
Most of the people I know have never bought a Windows license for their desktops.

Heck, TBH, the only people I know personally that have licensed windows copies have them on their laptops. (and I know plenty of people who use Windows).

Why would it surprise you that people use sublime in non-compliance with its EULA?
It was generic in the sense that we use that term here. I say that because: (1) it included nothing directly related to the specific details of the article topic, and (2) it made a grand and sweeping claim. Those are shallow, because while they come with a lot of activation energy (e.g. high indignation levels), they include very little information. Shallow statements on divisive topics are automatically flamebait.

The reason we call these ideological flames is because of the effect they have on threads. The probability is high that they will turn discussion away from any specific topic and into the generic theme. Like flames, those have the habit of consuming everything they touch and destroying what was there before. It's therefore a good metaphor.

Here's another metaphor. The grand generic topics are like the black holes of internet threads. If you fly too close to them, the thread gets completely sucked in (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

This is a shame, because those discussions are so repetitive, and curiosity withers under repetition (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). What we want instead are discussions that are different from what's been discussed before. Curiosity thrives on diffs (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

Note that all of this would be just the same if you were battling from the opposite ideological position. Actually the two poles of these battles resemble each other far more than they resemble the audience between them, which consists of readers who are here for curious, thoughtful discussion—not to defeat enemies.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
So much knowledge freely available. There's so much it's hard to know where to start looking. Anyone care to point out any books available through these links that they've found helpful? Aside from MIT's open courseware (which is generally awesome, esp. Intro to Algorithms), I'm not sure I've used any of these resources.
tjmaxal doesn't have the authority include himself into the distribution list for those memos.
indeed, i've always combined wine, utorrent and its webUI. Before that it was rtorrent and another web interface, but utorrent is so much easier.
TI sell the OMAP. That should be reason enough.
Currently working on that. It's safe to say that your two solutions were the most creative. In my graph of solution proximity, they are both a long way away from all the other solutions.
Not a direct answer to your question but I like this website for 'explain the math' type articles.

While your idea is good and Apache has the CustomLog directive which could do it, the process is much more complex because of typically customized logging directories (especially where there's more than one client per host).
1) The Internet never forgets. If you post something regretful in a fit of rage you can never take it back. You are not the same person you were ten years ago (even if you have the same name). Do you want to be judged today on how that person behaved back then? It is naive to think you won't be judged so.

2) There are some really batsh*t-crazy people in the world. I prefer to be somewhat isolated from them.

3) How do you verify a real name from a real-sounding name?

I would also like to see some evidence that "Real Name" = "better comments".
Agreed! When I wake up I think about the jolt I'll feel from the 2+ cups I'll get in a few minutes.

By the time I'm actually done making coffee, somehow, I end up not so tired and end up barely needing to finish my first cup.
I could imagine Digg management having a similar conversation about Reddit.

Not saying you're not totally right. You probably are. But underestimating competitors is how they win.
Heck, I love fixing bugs and it gives me a certain kind of entertainment.

Making good quality software, or improving poor quality software, is something I enjoy for its own sake. The fact that it also benefits users and my employer is an additional reward.
Not really sure if Google is the right gatekeeper for this kind of thing. Google as a company has often take clear political stances.
There is a well known relationship summarized in the Sherwood plot.

Your basic intuition is correct in that the more dilute something is, the more costly it is to extract/purify it.
I’ve always chosen Apple because there’s always been very little friction, thus very little frustration. However, the past year or two has been very frustrating.

Taps on my iPhone 11 Pro sometimes don’t register because it’s in the middle of an animation or it’s just unresponsive. Moving apps around has become the biggest pain. Apps are killed in the background after about 5 minutes. Typing has become a huge pain to deal with autocorrect and swiping. Sometimes holding the space bar doesn’t move the cursor and when it does there’s almost a full second until it returns to normal typing mode from “cursor mode”. Sometimes the lock screen is completely unresponsive to touch. Sometimes the screen doesn’t even come on until 30 seconds after hitting the power button leaving me to wonder why I’m staring at a disabled screen. Sometimes the phone will lock and require the pin instead of FaceID for no discernible reason. Some of the stock apps have become the buggiest apps I use.

Finally, I woke up this morning with my phone completely off despite it being on charger and with a full battery, which means my alarms didn’t go off and I was late for work. My guess is it tried to auto update in the middle of the night and wouldn’t turn itself back on. I’m basing that on the fact that I had a notification saying the update failed and I had to start the install again manually once I did finally get to work.

That’s just iOS. macOS is becoming equally frustrating. I’m seriously considering moving to Android, but I don’t know how much better (or worse) that would be considering I haven’t had an Android phone since a couple of years before the iPhone 4 released (had a Windows Phone in between Android and the iPhone 4).
After I read those posts, ...

Well, it's not only happen on Amazon, but on another sites too. As long as there's a seller, buyer, and medium, there's always a chance to do it.

“That’s what makes spending money on free products worth it for these blackhat sellers,”

Not only on online markets, even offline store does that.
But, I apreciate for the long posts made by buzzfeeds
I wish they did. I was bummed when they hide them.
Politically motivated violence is not synonymous with fascism, it's an actual political movement/"philosophy" with hallmarks and such. Plenty of violence happens in the world, both in response to speech and not, without being 'fascism'.
To satisfy your curiosity: The reason I don't inject the stylesheets declaratively is because you can't disable them and I wanted to give people a way to toggle the hiding functionality.
Several of my favorite songs have been removed from Spotify, which is extremely irritating. That's one of the biggest reasons I'll start storing my music myself, and then streaming it on my own.
The Tech Museum in San Jose has a model of one of these:

I hope you'll agree that the discussion on the parent thread was about newbies joining the army and not about Soldiers who are through with their training and know the many ways of 'dealing' with it.
Curious how you define resource manager. Is that the scheduler or something else?

> Can we put these in specific and measurable criteria?

Yes. A single young person on a minimum wage needs to be able to at least rent their own flat, put food on a plate and be able to party.

I think we can consider case of Sweden. Norway isn't good case because they struck gold with oil and gas which puts them in privileged situation. Sweden has no special resources that would put them in privileged position.

In Sweden where I lived on a 6 months contract, minimum wage is around 180SEK or 21USD. Sweden has costs of living very comparable to those of US.

What this means, is that even if you are young person without special needs, without support from parents, working basic job like support phone you still can rather comfortably pay for your necessities.
IMHO no, it doesn't. Funding and research for Nuclear dried up ages ago, and given the impending doom most scientists think we are facing, it would be rational to be spending gazillions on developing new tech, processes etc. including storage. What we take out of the ground is radioactive - it's rational to think we can find a way to put it back with slightly less radioactivity. Obviously that's a crude way to put it to the point of metaphor, but it's not irrational either.

If Greenpeace had not killed nuclear, I suggest we might be in a considerably better situation vis-a-vis climate change. Possibly a couple of Fukishimas worse off, but that's not hugely bad either, given the upside.
Isn't there a 1-2 year old project that claims to have made great trackpad driver behavior in Linux?

I think this is the case I remember:

Force touch is useful feature last missing on other PCs.
I can understand the use of kubernetes in very large orgs to manage clusters of hundreds of nodes, but it seems to me the complexity isn’t justified if you only have 1-100 say. There are lots of possibilities between 1 server and 100, and lots of ways to have simple replicable deploys if your needs are simple (probably 95% of businesses).

Simple load balancers without auto-scaling work fine!

For smaller non-critical services sometimes even one reliable server is an acceptable trade-off.

Do most companies really need kubernetes given the complexity and difficulty it introduces?
The amount of nuclear waste (spent rods) produced in the US since the first reactor could be fit into ONE football field about 7 yards deep. We can surely store it somewhere safely. In the mean time we have produced probably thousand times more toxic heavy metals which will also last millions of years and they are leaking into the earth all over the world.
> How about client-side validations? Easy. On every input change, round up the form values and send ’em down the WebSocket. Let your server framework validate and send back changes to the HTML of the form, including any errors that need to be rendered. No need for JSON or complicated error objects.

Maybe in an ideal world where responses are 1ms this would work, but imagine real world, real-time validating user input (ie email) and the user needs to wait before they find out their input is valid.
The pre-mine has to do with using stellar consensus protocol. Basically if you don't have staking or mining (which I personally believe are detrimental to the longevity of these networks) then you end up with a pre-mine. Essentially all of the game theoretical systems for rewarding operations of the network pit the interests of the miners/stakers against the interests of the users of the network.
Which is why I will never enable fingerprint or face unlocking ever. I'm fine with physically typing in my password. I like real security.
The irony about these (at least in NZ) is that they're normally some of the most expensive, flash-bound websites out there.
I downvoted you for asserting that animations have nothing to do with usability or design, and that they are "nothing more than interface bedazzling." Animations and movement can communicate a lot. They can give a sense of place and aid navigation, especially in "Navigation-based" apps (those with that left-pointing button in the top-left). They can enhance the perceived speed of the software. They can be annoying if abused, and on iOS I do not believe they are. They can lend a touch of consistency and increase the perceived value of the software or entire device. And that's off the top of my head.
And how much of that spending goes into supporting online efforts of other divisions. I imagine the "online" division handles everything most everything that goes online even if it is supporting offline products.
I'd guess the answer to the article's headline is "yes," if not only because of Facebook's size. Being so big, it makes sense that it's one of the largest referrers to anything.

I mean, India has almost as many English speakers as the US. These things happen when the population is a significant portion of the universe.
And I've had it hanging on my wall ever since. Helps remind roommates and enlighten guests. Definitely warrants revisiting from time to time.
Those are not the same topic (reservation systems vs. restaurant websites) but there are indeed many, many examples out there.
The dogs are to keep any stray sheep from escaping. Before that, they used behavioral methods on the sheep. If a lamb wandered off, the shepherd broke the lamb's legs and then carried it around until it healed.

I think the sheep probably prefer getting herded to getting their legs broken. They probably also prefer it to getting eaten by a coyote, a not uncommon fate of lost sheep.
Don't you find it exciting that you can sculpt something visual that ANYONE can see, just by typing code? After a long time, it still gives me a bit of that 'wow' feeling.

It's the browser idiosyncrasies which suck...

JetBrains is nice, but we try to avoid proprietary tools when we can.
Before anyone talks about a bubble and how easy this service is to replicate, consider that by putting $12M in, Magic was selected to win the space. Now to win over Magic you need to replicate the concept AND get matching resources.

Even spaces that are easy to get into and replicate still have winners, household names to rule over all others (Dropbox, Github to name a couple of services that, ignoring scale, can be replicated pretty easily).
At the seed stage, investors mark those winners in advance. At later round stage, investors back the de-facto winners (A16Z style). At some point the investment creates a momentum of its own, preventing viable competition and drawing in even more money (all the way to an IPO or acquisition).

The competition eventually dies and if the business case/segment has merit, the winner and their investors will stand to make all the money.

So Magic has just been marked as the winner in their segment (whatever you can call it). Whether or not this service is easy to replicate is irrelevant.
No one cares. I took 5 extra semesters myself and am doing just fine.
Yes, that's an ES2015 (formerly known as ES6) feature called destructuring. It's just one of the great features of ES2015. You can use ES6 today by transpiling to ES5 with https://babeljs.io
1: Individual/Company takes a song that is playing on the radio.

2: Individual makes crude and lossy recording of the song.

3: Individual now considers the recording as significant changed from the original, and starts selling CD's with the recording.

4: And the story ends, and the individual get sued. A crude and ugly conversion, be that from radio to mp3, painting to photo, text-to-audio version of a book and so on is all transformations, which the copyright owner has exclusive right to.

The reddit comment also says this, so I am not where the "easily circumvented" conclusion is derived from. The people in charge of this company risk huge fines and prison time, as with any for-profit infringement of copyright.

OTOH the ultraviolence on display in a typical 80's OVA might actually make you barf.

Darwin is that person since he discovered the only universal principle in biology. There is no more universal biological concepts to discover since evolution by natural selection makes universal properties impossible.
If you want to read a book on how your body will react to conflict situations, I highly recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Meditations-Violence-Comparison-Martia...

It's not a book about fighting. It's about how your bodies mental and physical senses react to violent situations.
Comparing mobile internet "growth" to desktop internet growth is a little misleading. It's like comparing DVD player growth to VCR growth. Obviously DVD players grew much faster because the infrastructure (having a TV set) and comfortability with the technology was already there.

Desktop internet growth was closely tied to the overall growth of the internet-- as the net became more useful, more people started using it. A lot of what makes mobile internet useful, on the other hand, was already created.
logstash doesn't currently support saved queries (if you mean letting you save queries you like for later, easy recall), but I'm open to all feature suggestions.

File a request, or email the list:

I'll know what to work on (besides my own priorities) based on requests/feedback :)
This post talks a lot about stance and how to throw a punch, and it does mention grappling but if you're talking about your standard bar fight then I think grappling is where everything happens. How often have you seen a bar fight where two people circled each other, jabbing and feinting like a boxing match? More often than not they grapple messily, go to the ground, flail around some more at each other, and then their friends break them up.

I wrestled (scholastic wrestling) in high school and college, and that experience has helped me tremendously in whatever bar scuffles I've ended up with. If anyone did want actual advice on how to win a bar fight, the first thing I'd suggest is they take lessons in something like freestyle wrestling or judo. If you can handle yourself in close quarters, you can negate a lot of what a bigger or stronger opponent could do.

One more thing, since I see some people advocating "just knock him out with a 2x4 while he's still jawing at you" -- as I almost learned the hard way in college, if you throw the first punch, that's assault. It's very tempting when some idiot is jawing at you to just end things before they start, but then he could call the cops and press charges and you'll have a huge legal hassle to deal with for the next year. Once he swings at you, retaliation is self-defense and it's fair game.
Hi Jason, check out Tonido. It works across windows, Mac and variety of Linux distributions.

It has an underlying peer-to-peer and data sync service as well.

My advice:

A)Don't anger people deliberately/don't fight

B)Don't think (harder than you'd imagine). Thinking leads to calculating, which leads to hesitation, even in the best. In fact good fighters become great by going on instinct rather than conscious decisions.

C)Go bleeping crazy. He's trying to inflict real harm on you- looking cool/honorable is for movies. Go for the eyes, nose and groin; that's actually Bruce Lee 101 -- fast, and to the critical areas. Become an animal. Disable (psychologically or physically) them as quickly as possible.

D)Run away. Fast. No one comes to a bar alone, and there will likely be "vigilantes" anyway. High tail it ASAP, and throw come courtesy cash to the bar/host.

E)If you're losing from the beginning in any way, you're not going to pull a comeback. This isn't Rocky. Break away and get out ASAP. See D.
The mixed content is, fundamentally, not secured by HTTPS. If your page is important enough to warrant HTTPS in the first place, why are you allowing user-specified content into the mix anyhow? Users are not trustworthy, in general.

Bear in mind if you implement the proxy solution that others suggest, you aren't just serving the content, you're approving it. Blind proxying is not really sensible; again, if it were, then why are you HTTPS in the first place?

You're probably talking about images. You should probably let them upload images and host them yourself, at which point you should actually examine them somehow for security guarantees, such as "yes, this really is a JPG".

If this sounds a bit utopian or a bit hardnosed, what it really comes down to is, do you need HTTPS or not? I won't necessarily guarantee there's never an in-between answer but it's an awfully narrow space. And if the answer is "yes", well, follow through then.
