Pretty young women get hit on constantly and it is really exhausting and demoralizing to be rudely interrupted every five minutes while out in public

Holy hyperbole. I have two sisters that are very pretty and their chief complaint growing up was that men were too intimidated by them and never hit on them.

As a 6'7" man I cannot walk anywhere without being "rudely interrupted" as you say by people bringing up my height. It's the same old thing - "Wow, you're tall!" "Did you play basketball?" "How tall are you?" "Are your parents tall?" "Hey Giant" "Hey Too Tall" "Hey Stretch". Unlike you though I don't think it's rude. I think it's an attempt to initiate a conversation.

I think you're taking those staged "street harassment" videos too seriously.
Yep, better. Thanks.
err, that's not on the same level to compare
At least the cookie panels are not the fault of IT, they're the fault of greedy marketers and clueless politicians trying to rein them in.

For the inventor of floating video ads, let's just say I hope that hell exists.
Insomnia is fantastic. Never looked back to postman.
I’m interested, but only if you don’t discriminate between the conservative idiotic masses (climate change denial, etc) and the liberal idiotic masses (agitating for a complete burn-down of western civilization).

Edit: which is to say, there are plenty of idiots on the right, but if you consider yourself “woke”, I’m not interested in an alliance with you because from my perspective you are part of the idiotic masses.
Explaining your decisions is a skill in itself. When you are working in a team it is very valuable.
The fact that this is coming from a man whose people were actually in history targeted by Hitler himself gives weight to what he is saying.
At that link, we're told to select "Printers" under the heading "Printing". The only item I see under that heading is "Google Cloud Print".

I sort of like this idea, of just making changes and waiting for users to complain when those changes screw them over... I do hope that someone is paying attention to those complaints.
you could certainly run a custom window manager in win95. That's what I did during the best years of my life. No idea if with the windowses of today is still possible.
All TDM and Sigtran signaling links of world-wide SS7 network are configured manually peer-to-peer. The signaling traffic including SMS texts travels mostly unencrypted. Hence it's next to impossible to get a real SS7 Pcap log (requires an NDA), let alone access to the SS7 network, unless you work with a network operator.
I haven't done anything big in Go yet, but I loved that in their tutorial they talk in depth about the design choices they made for the language. It really feels like a language that was designed with a purpose, and they are a little obsessive about keeping it pure, not letting it get bloated with features, which suits it nicely.

On a side note, why does every discussion about Go seem to turn immediately into a comparison/argument between Go and Rust? I'm not an expert in either language, but I don't see why the two languages can't coexist.
I'm sorry, but you have an incorrect view of HTML. HTML's sole purpose is not display. If that were the case, it would be a simple matter of identifying what renders fastest and most accurately, but again, that's not HTML's sole purpose.

The destination goal for HTML is to convey information about the structure and context of the content, not just how it is displayed. So we must care about the HTML generated. It is requisite to it's function in providing additional machine-readable information.
It's not very difficult, you just have to be careful when filling the forms, they are a bit confusing...

For example to refuse the travel insurance policy you must choose that you don't want it in the country selection box...

Personally while I find it irritating, I find godaddy much worse and since unlike Ryanair they have cheap competitors without dark pattern I avoid them.
I suspect this will end up being repealed a month before it is scheduled to go into effect, with half a dozen riders attached.
Well, they didn't say hierarchy was dead. Corporations, governments and militaries would beg to differ!

Tim Ferris is too pretentious for my taste.
What do you believe would happen it FedEx and UPS (and who ever else wanted) needed to provide regular first class mail delivery and other letter services to every postal address in the United States for, say, $0.44/ounce in return for a license to deliver urgent mail and packages?
But they are academics. As most people familiar with computers and their technical usage, I also tend to organize things in a hierarchical manner. But I cannot ignore that most people around me do not: they just put everything on desktop and one or two other folders.

I.E., "CouchDB may no longer call itself 'NoSQL'." Which is ok, because it was always a pretty vague term.

CouchDB is good at different things than relational databases, and they have little to do with the strong points of MongoDB, Redis, Tokyo Cabinet, etc. It's more meaningful to focus on what it does well, use cases for which it's a good fit, etc.
I did a couple of practices before recording this. The main thing was figuring out the best way to fit everything on a page so it made sense and I didn't run out of space.

I had one of the completed practice sheets next to me so I could check against it while I was recording and not mess up. I also verified the data against computer output before recording.
No simply because it was _deemed_ socially unacceptable. It has nothing to do with retard actually being used as a slur against people with mental disabilities.
Try a word "koan", like javascript koans.
Has anyone ever considered that perhaps the particle/wave actually goes back in time?

Another misconception is that it's impossible to launch nukes without nuclear launch codes U.S president carries with him.

The president's emergency satchel (nuclear football) or cold codes (plastic card called the biscuit) contain codes to identify the president and __authorize__ nuclear attack. They are codes for authorization. They don't contain codes that are needed to execute the attack. There is also two-man rule in place. Secretary of Defense must confirm the authorization.
I'm almost done migrating all of my images over to baseimage. Most things I'm running come from debian packages, and are designed to run in a full unix environment as a service, so it's a lot easier to just make /etc/my_init/00_myservice.sh which sets up permissions for mounted volumes and calls "service myservice", then lets the OS handle the rest.

The image size doesn't bother me. Storage is cheap, and I can easily clear out the old cruft using "docker rmi $(docker images -q -f dangling=true)". Why should I care about 200mb in the age of multi-terabyte drives?
2020s looking suspiciously like the 1920s in so many ways. Great Internet Gatsby.
The Windows 3.1 File Manager definitely used folder icons that were quite similar to what Windows Explorer used in future versions. The windows full of icons you remember were in Program Manager, which was replaced by the Start menu.
Yes - please don't self diagnose.

ADHD in adults is somewhat new and some specialist either don't know or downplay it so keep that in mind. I'd suggest getting to the ADHD Adult specialist/clinic in the area. Depending on the country it might take short or long time to get diagnosed (for myself it took around 6 weekly 1.5h meetings, tests and family interviews), but I know this might vary depending on where you live.
If it's just homebrewing / for personal, family / friends consumption, how would they even find out? A lot of laws are only there to enforce if they actually uncover a big operation.

Like, during the 'rona lockdowns you weren't allowed to have more than X visitors, but no policeman would want to go door to door to see if people were having visitors.

(actually don't quote me on it, the visitors thing may have been advisory)
To me it's useful/entertaining in the ways forums and chats are, plus some additional features on top of that. Eg, you can talk to people, but in addition to that you have a collaborative 3D environment with positional audio where you can script, make games or do other stuff.

Recently a group using our project put up a Christmas Carol VR play, and the results were most impressive.

Yes.
I haven't tried Groovy but in my opinion Ceylon strikes a nice balance between Scala and Java.
It has all the aspects of a vacation except for the vacation part. Working from an enjoyable location does not make it a vacation.

It's remote work, not vacation. The ability to remote from various locations part or all of the year may be an interesting job perk, but if it burns vacation days you're just getting shafted.
FYI, SpaceX was founded in 2002.

And well rockets is really a very broad term which not just includes spacecrafts but also missiles.

SpaceX is unique not for sending 'rockets' but it for being the first privately funded company to successfully launch, orbit and recover a spacecraft also the first private company to send spacecraft to ISS.

So yes, Space transport/travel is a luxurious and emerging market.
On the one hand the article is saying, "Look at your data." On the other it's saying, "Visualizing data is hard in more than two dimensions." It doesn't really offer any suggestions to fix that.

I imagine using something like PCA comes with its own warts. What is a clustered to do?
Ha ha. The real WTF is moving him to a job where security is even more critical.
Notice that the AF447 had great telemetry reporting its position right before the accident. Searching for things at the sea bottom is simply hard.
>The mac only stuff is a real turn-off. It might be informative to look at the website visitor statistics to see the piece of the pie you're missing.

And a SUV car maker is missing on selling sportcars and trucks. Not to mention he could be selling hamburgers and get a slice of McDonald's pie.

Wanting to make software for platform A doesn't imply you want to make software in general. Some people get into software development because they like a particular platform/niche and it's APIs, tooling etc and want to create programs for that.
I've thought about creating a Chrome extension that allows you to say "This is clickbait" on any article, and then it'll remove it from other users' DOMs. Or, if not remove it, at least it'll prevent you from clicking the link.

My solution is to use StayFocusd on Chrome to block sites that are almost always clickbait. I then use FeedBin to subscribe to sites that never post clickbait (Quartz, mainly).

That's the only solution I've found that works for me. There are probably subreddits that would also serve your purposes.

The unfortunate thing is that hard news doesn't get clicks. Every media company has to use clickbait to survive.
>I find it very amusing that you would tip a server who was noticably rude.

Yes, it is an absurd system. Basically, employers offload the responsibility of paying their employees on customers. So a tip is not a tip, it is an expected surcharge. Sure you can not tip, but its incredibly socially unacceptable. Furthermore, most people leave the same tip no matter what. Even if you had an exceptionally good or bad server, many places pool tips anyways.

When I was about 15 my friends and I accidentally forgot to leave a tip for the waitress. It was truly an accident. She followed us outside and to our car asking us for her tip. We got her to go back inside and then ran away because we weren't going to give her money after that...
> If this were the USA it would certainly be bad enough to
> warrant prosecution of the researcher

Sounds like he didn't access any data he wasn't allowed to, if he read the data of test accounts. Not sure how you'd prosecute this in the UK.

Also you'd need to convince the CPS that it was in the public interest to prosecute, and they're not elected officials who need to appear Tough On Crime unlike the US. And even if both of those things happened, you'd then need to convince a magistrate that the case warranted a conviction.

Still, he should have gone to ICO first and foremost.
If the "articles" permit comments, post the links to NoScript, AdBlock Plus and Privacy Badger.

Alternatively, email the links to the author.

Writing articles is one of the best ways to earn money online, but the common practice yields poor results. Most articles are only long enough to make the ads fit on the page without leaving too much blank space.

What works well for me is to spend quite a long time - anywhere from three days to a month - to research and write an in-depth, insightful article, ask for constructive criticism from readers, and then to post just a couple small ad units.

This works because those who read my article will generally give me organic links.

Clickbait articles might get clicks from those who actually read the articles, but they're not likely to get any inlinks.
Both your comments make me want to dive into the storage space where I have all the bricks from the sorter project to see if I can come up with those sets. Bookmarked for when I have more time.
if(random() == 1% chance)

This really threw me for a loop. I'm not used to seeing the percent sign used for actual percents! I was wondering "Why is he doing 1 modulo some 'chance' variable?"
Instead of quitting FANG you can join a night college and acquire new skills/challenges;
I largely agree, though to be fair, I did spend quite a bit of time tweaking my config and learning elisp during the first two years. At the time I was a PhD student and could afford it, but today? not sure. It was quite an investment of time but since I spend my days mostly processing text (code and prose) it paid off spectacularly well. Side note: Emacs is massively underappreciated as a tool for writing prose. So many wonderful tools that make writing more effective and pleasant.
> the journey to a perfect secure world will take some time

The author argues that it will never happen because we are WORSE today than we were before and I agree with that.

The overwhelming majority of Magic cards are bought by people to play the game.
And for what it's worth, it took a hell of a lot longer than a couple of months to build something useful. Years later and it still isn't a full port of what was available at the time in Cocoa.
Isn't it 250% loss in buying value? So because of inflation everything now cost 2,5x what it did. Usually your paycheck can afford 100 apples but after inflation your paycheck can only afford 40.
GNOME developer loves macOS so the result isn't surprising.
I get what you are saying but cmon. We very well may have had a recession without covid but covid has certainly majorly shaped what our current economic situation looks like.
So anyone who dials your apartment gets through the gate?
It is my opinion that people won't start copying until you become profitable, or at least popular.

People can't just copy whatever people come up with, because lot of these ideas will fail. So they will try to copy successful models/products. The only problem is, if they wait too long, they will lose most of the potential profits.

That's called the first mover advantage and I believe it to be sufficient incentives.(Because ya simply got there first, before anybody else, therefore you get looot of money!)

Sometime people also just never got around to copying you. This is especially true in my experience. My website once got a huge traffic spike from digg one time. Despite the overwhelming traffic, nobody ever forked my site despite its liberal copyright policies.

Heck, the first mover advantages apply to the American publishing industry centuries ago, when there is no recognition of foreign copyright. In some cases, the British authors actually earn more from their sale of manuscript to American publisher(so they can be first), than they do from royalties in their own country.
Actually it has several answers, some of which include +i, -i, +j, -j, +k, -k, if you're working in the quaternions, for example.

It also means otherwise intelligent and erudite people who aren't mathematically inclined won't be able to comment, which seems a shame.
The professor giving the lecture is Fyodor Urnov, and by the end of the lecture he is on fire.

This lecture is part of Berkeley's webcasts of the MCB 140 General Genetics course. It's a fantastic example of how great it is that anyone can now download the lectures and materials of entire university courses.
Nice link, thanks!

Actually, this book is one that I'd like to keep on the (virtual) back burner. But there is no way I store more paper on my shelves. Fortunately, I bought Practical CL before I set this rule :) But how do I thank PG for On Lisp?
You're willing to question the ability of these students by saying "they couldn't get it."

You haven't examined the possibility that you couldn't teach it.

I don't want to question your intelligence here. I'm sincerely interested in your answer to the question: how do you know it's the one and not the other?

Here's some historical perspective. Before he became "The Great," Alexander's father Philip arranged for the young man to be tutored by Aristotle, who was already a world-famous academic. Philip was famous as well, for having his political enemies flayed or boiled alive. Imagine Aristotle saying to Philip, "Your son Alexander is a very bright young man. If he would only apply himself. B-"
In case you're monitoring replies, you might want to remove the typo from your headline - it doesn't give a good impression.

Apart from that, good luck, and kudos.
It will still operate as their own entity, run by Tony

For now, at least. As staunch commented on the other thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1409915), this is still really a honeymoon period.
> A lot of people are replying to point out that this demonstrates the judge is technically illiterate like that's a bad thing. I think it's a good thing.

I think it's a double edged sword. Alsup took the time to learn Java, and it probably had an impact in his decision to rule that APIs weren't copyrightable.

> There's a growing disconnect between what we in the industry consider acceptable and what the non-technical public would consider acceptable.

I'm not sure I agree with this either. Most of the arguments I see that aren't from people who -work- at the companies that do the tracking. Otherwise typically what I hear from technical people is at worst a 'defeatist' argument; that it would require all of the world's governments to enforce such regulations against tracking, otherwise it's a zero sum game.
> and price is a function

There are tons of things that are paid for on a percentage basis, and the "is this value added or not" line is pretty difficult to define clearly.

It doesn't make sense to think of it as a tax, really, sure taxes can be used to provide services (or other things) but the fee being paid here is directly tied to the service you are receiving. If you want to draw parallels with government, it would better match a toll road or bridge; you can still argue the total collected toll doesn't fairly match the cost of providing the service, but the mechanism is at least clear.
Interesting. What's the materials cost for the pi-based setup?
For me, Pocari Sweat is the king of Japanese sports drinks. It has been a few years since I visited Japan, and I still have a unopened bottle of Pocari Sweat "on standby" :)
That's a weird reading of what I wrote. To expand:

Conway's Law suggests that each module maps to one team (or subtree of your hierarchy), but not that each team is mapped to only one module. You would have one team responsible for, say, your authentication service (assuming it is a singular service and not a collection of services) but that team may also be responsible for some other services.

If you have multiple teams responsible for the same module/service, then over time they will generally gather together under a new hierarchy or merge into one team. So if your authentication service is presently managed by teams under Alice and Bob (and this is a singular poorly decomposed service) then the following are typical outcomes:

1. Alice and Bob's will become co-leads (teams merging).

2. Alice and Bob end up with a mutual manager Charlie (new or shifted hierarchy).

3. Either Alice or Bob's team because the sole responsible team (shifted responsibilities)

4. Either Alice or Bob is placed above the other (similar to 2, but one gets a promotion).

5. You're lucky and Alice and Bob are able to coordinate their respective teams effectively despite the lack of common hierarchy (uncommon in the long run).

6. You're typical and Alice and Bob and their teams fail to cooperate and you have frequent fires that your all-stars put out (and likely caused) and get promoted for.

(1)-(4) are what Conway's Law suggests will happen in the end. Though it's impossible to say when, it usually happens after (6) becomes an embarrassment to someone.
if the point is length of code, then:

SELECT p.*,b.* FROM employees p JOIN employees b ON (p.manager = b.id) WHERE (p.name = 'John')

is only 8 characters less than:

(join (select (table {:employees :p}) (=* :name "John")) (table {:employees :b}) (=* :p.manager :b.id))

but that isn't the point. the point is composabilty. you can take 8 simple functions (select, project, join, rename, aggregate, take, drop, sort) and build any query you want. these queries can be passed around your code, reused, modified, and refined, in a way that plain SQL strings cannot.
I can't believe that even on HN there are so many posts about something so dumb. Our country is up in arms about some new X-ray machines that a corrupt defense contractor sold to an overzealous department of homeland security in a panic after 9/11, and yet we are hardly this angry about the 2 wars we are fighting or the fact that the New Start treaty is about to be ran over with a bulldozer.

Please, let's get over the stupid X-rays machines. Let Fox News and CNN cover this one.
i like publican, you have to feed it docbook (xml), but it then outputs pdf/html/epub, allows for pot-po based translations and is nicely stylable.

in one setup i put asciidoc (a wiki-syntax-to-docbook tool) before publican to make writing/editing the docs more straight forward.

i cannot give you one-size-fits-all documentation tips, it depends heavily on what document you work on (api docs, a user guide, etc.) and what is the target audience.

personally i like to avoid the word "you" in documentation.
The problem with doing this via IP is it somewhat ties you to your hosting provider. I believe it's somewhat difficult to find places that will let you bring your own IPs.
But your missing the point. You can store parts of queries and reuse them, recombine them however you see fit:

(def users (cql/table db :users))
(def photos (cql/table db :photos))

(def users-and-photos
(cql/join users photos
(cql/where (= :users.id :photos.user_id))))

(def photo-titles
(-> users-and-photos
(cql/project #{:photos.title})))

Note that my queries just keep getting smaller and smaller ;) By writing the mundane portions of your SQL queries again and again by hand you will have more duplication.

He needs to upgrade his website (which has great content). Right now the article is not appearing for me, so maybe HN has the power of slashdotting now.
