Like almost anything, there's a large and vibrant subculture of people who convert buses into mobile homes.

My own grandmother actually lived in a school bus back in the 1970s while she built her home in Alaska.
I probably should create an input screen, etc. I'm not familiar with AppEngine's datastore though. Anyway, I put the tsv on github.

The data is here:

For this to work, I probably need scripts to prevent duplicates, etc.
Current status: bad things are happening in the North Virginia datacenter.

EC2, EBS and RDS are all down on US-east-1.

Edit: Heroku, Foursquare, Quora and Reddit are all experiencing subsequent issues.
for a bunch of hackers on hacker news, there's an awful lot of prissy "ew, might get my hands dirty" feedback going on here

sorry, but it's been a long day and I'm sick to the back teeth of people bitching about other people's hard work because it's not exactly to their liking

My answer to his question at the end of the essay would be "0, π and 2π". Strangely, this triple is the only one that looks nice to me, even though all of "3 and 3", "0 and 6" and "2 and 4" as well as coming up with a pair with long decimals looks OK to me for the original question.
Yeah, it's a scam to try to scare you into buying your name in those other TLDs.

I or my clients get these emails fairly frequently.

I just checked on one of the domains we got that email for a few months ago and as was my assumption, they didn't actually register those domains. They're trying to get money from you registering those domains, not trying to typosquat them.

tl;dr: Just ignore these emails, they probably won't actually register them themselves.
That is correct, but is based on a philosophy that the longer something has been in use, the less chance it has to demonstrate behavior that has not been previously observed — he even explains that in more detail in further posts where he discusses his desire to not cause regressions.
Bingo. In my apartment building none of the units had numbers. I could point you to my unit, which was one of two doors on my floor, the other leading to a unit directly above me. So even GPS + Floor wouldn't quite me enough, although that's close enough that we could figure out who the package was for.
oops. thanks for catching the error. just noticed that.
But you're making an assumption that "being able to solve problems you weren't designed to solve" is an ability that's orthogonal to desire, and that seems like a rather strong assumption, given that the only example we have of a being capable of solving such problems also has what we call free will, and so far we haven't been able to isolate separate mechanisms responsible for each.

And AI will, of course, be mortal as it can be killed, and can at best hope to live as long as this planet/solar system/galaxy/universe. But even if it were immortal (I don't see how, but suppose), I don't think we have any idea what an immortal being cares about. So far, all the immortal entities we've imagined care about quite a lot of things.
Do you have any favorite links/resources re: warrants?

I've seen quite a few people describe Python 3 as a new language relative to Python 2. Having used both now, I don't agree at all, but I have no experience whatsoever with Perl so I'm not in the same position to compare the different versions of it.

Are there really more differences than things they share in common, to the extent that "new language" is an accurate description?
Not really a great test (as admitted in the commentary). There's no way to know how many people that entered weren't familiar with all of the amps that were used (according to the author, "a couple of contestants realized that 1, 3, 5, and 8 were the models, but got all the amp types wrong"). Swap two models and your score is a maximum of 50% regardless of how well you can identify tubes vs. digital.

"Not only people who think themselves picky when it comes to tubes vs modeling could not tell the difference, but they also failed to even recognize the amp types." It was a contest with a giveaway. The only thing we can infer about the entrants is that they wanted free stuff.

I'm with the author as far as conclusions go: "Sometimes models sound great, and sometimes they sound crappy, much like amps."
It's the yeast strains. Some can survive higher alcohol concentrations than others.

For instance this[1] one can achieve up to 25% under right conditions.

No yeast can digest starches afaik. It's why you need a mashing phase to turn starches into simpler sugars when brewing beer.
The world would be a better place if we had a programming language that feels like english and could be used by managers and be 3D visualised. It would solve all the problems and increase productivity and everyone would love to code! I'd call it Cobol-3D...
Ok well intro to news in America, I can point to an instance where every major news organization in this country has disregarded facts. News in America is about selling newspapers, not distributing facts. They’re more like supermarket tabloids (if you don’t know what those are, those are the real fake news, things like lizard people are discussed there). All of them are guilty of the exactly this problem. Which is my point. Yet lefties like yourself only call out Fox News, ignoring CNN, waPo, et al. Not to mention is a bit passive aggressive. You’re not gonna get people to stop watching Fox News, so why spread more passive aggressive hate?

CNN recently, because of all of their “factual reporting”, lost about 90% of their viewership. Trump left, people got bored of Jan 6, and they had nothing else to sensationalize, so their viewership tanked. Interestingly they lost their viewers to Fox News. This is the state of news media in America, and if you’re actually interested in facts and not promoting your side of the narrative you’d easily acknowledge as much.
A large part of the problem, at least a few months ago, seemed to revolve around failures when switching between signalling systems.
I think the parent suggested joining a consultancy company. The work I did for one was regular coding work, just with projects changing faster. It was nice having new colleagues frequently when switching clients. Salary was lower than product companies in the area paid.

I joined it as my first job after graduating. I was expert in nothing but was billed as one straight from day 3. Excellent way to learn as a motivated junior, assuming the company cares and places you among seniors who know what they are doing. For senior people independent freelancing is way better deal monetarily.
> It would have been hard enough to justify a license for me (a person at the bottom with no power), it was impossible to justify a license for everybody.

"Floating" licenses are better here. In my experience, companies are reluctant to buy licenses for an entire team for something that's used only occasionally. It's easier to make them buy a few floating licenses to be shared by the team.
Fiverr and Upwork are for inexperienced people with no network and no deep skills. I am sure there are people who are good who are on both but that's not who they are for.

Most of the time, you make money consulting to people you worked with, directly or indirectly, previously. To make consulting work, you need to offer a specific, deep skill that is not widely available. This can include specific systems or toole, specific markets, specific deployments, and so on. This is specifically why Upwork and Fiverr don't make any sense - no one who hires someone to do consulting is going to look on either for highly skilled hires and likely wouldn't take seriously anyone who was on them.

Unfortunately, this does mean that doing consulting prior to getting career experience and building out your network is quite difficult and has a very different earnings profile than it would otherwise.

Being close to the customer helps in finding these gigs, especially vendor-side.
Fixing bugs without a debugger is a great skill. If you're good at it, you'll be able to figure out many problems far faster than people who depend on debuggers, and you'll be more likely to get to root causes and change things to be more robust at an architectural level.

Fixing bugs with a debugger is a great skill. If you're good at it, you'll be able to figure out many problems far faster than people who don't use debuggers. You can skip a lot of deep thinking and go straight to the site of a problem. You can explore the actual execution paths in ways you'd never figure out from all the layers of templates and overloads. You can debug other people's code almost as easily as your own. You won't get caught by some subtly wrong assumption you're making when thinking through how things are supposed to work.

Debuggers are dangerous. They're insanely useful, but once you start depending on them, your ability to fix things without a debugger will atrophy. If I had the self-discipline, I'd ban myself from using debuggers for a month out of every year.
It doesn't do any kind of graphical tooling.

IDEs also don't waste CPU cycles displaying HTML.

C is rightfully crictised, plenty of systems programming languages offer the same hardware access, without exposing the world to memory corruption and UB exploits, some of them about 10 years older than C. Unfortunately UNIX had more success than the OSes they were available on.
big consultancy sounds like BCG/Bain/McKinsey/etc to me, not freelance - aka you have a brand and other people driving the business engine and handling logistics like taxes for you
I've seen a lot of variance too. There are people on both sides of the argument who feel strongly. Whichever direction a company chooses there are going to be a lot of unhappy employees.
> we can't force the other 66% to work remotely just because a minority enjoy it.

That's not saying the other 66% wants to go back to the office, only that they wouldn't quit their job over it.
Just asking this as a talking point.

Does a quick interruption that unblocks me and allows me to continue working outweigh allowing you to finish your thing first? Because maybe you're unblocked but I'm blocked by you now, and the thing that's actually blocking me. So only 1 person is able to work.
> There are no known attacks against Telegram.

Because there isn't anything to meaningfully attack. Chats and chat backups are not encrypted by default.
In an ideal AR setting, everyone with a display will see everything everyone else sees. So the exact concept of Dynamicland would be completely reproducible in AR.

And you get the advantage of having optional private workspaces on top of that.
A dock is another ungainly, awkward piece of technology that would serve only to replace standard ports with one proprietary port that you use to get access to standard ports.

Most users don't dock. Most users I know that own docs don't dock. Actually, I don't think I know anyone who's ever used a dock, except when their laptop didn't have enough ports on it because they had to make room for the dock connector.

If you look at Apple's offerings, there's very little that one would need a dock for most of the time. Bluetooth mouse, bluetooth keyboard, wifi networking. For the average iMac installation, the only cable you need is the power cable. Likewise with my Macbook Pro, the only cables I ever plug in are power and ethernet, and the latter only when I need to do large file transfers.

Docks don't work, people don't use them, and it's just an awkward workaround to a problem that should be solved elegantly.
Oh man, with that kind of macro "metaprogramming" (if it can be called that), you're bringing on a world of error message pain. It's almost not worth it.
The whole post is just a rant and trolling bait, almost flag-worthy.

the real problem with OS X is that it tries to be Windows and Linux

Every single major window manager for Linux uses a taskbar, something seen and introduced primarily in Windows.

Why is he bitching about placement of keys? Windows has two soft-wired MODE KEYS in the keyboard, one of which silently switches mode.
Sorry to say, Harvard's reputation in CS circles is pretty abysmal.

I'm sure there are some fine folks there, but compared to the status of the school....meh.

In hiring circles folks with CS degrees from Harvard are generally frowned upon, "couldn't they have just gone to a better school for CS/Engineering at a cheaper cost? Musta gone for the brand name recognition...we'll pass"
I'd just presume that the number of people submitting links is a relatively small part of the HN population, people who tend to submit tend to be serial submitters, and the current serial submitters have TC and Mashable at the top of their RSS feeds.

If I had to guess, I'd say that HN doesn't drive anywhere near the traffic that a Digg or Reddit front-pager does, so there's not nearly as much incentive to try to game it, but that may just be me being naively optimistic. :)
Would you consider this kind of action as 'scraping the bottom of the barrel'? In the design community so-called 'competitions' are considered rorts and shunned by anyone worth their weight.

What is ironic is that the NSW govt. probably have spent 50 times the figure working with private companies attempting to develop an acceptable solution, and this stinks of a last ditch effort.

From http://www.seas.harvard.edu/faculty-research/people:

"Harvard ranked # 1 in Mechanical Engineering; # 1 in Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; # 5 in Mathematics; # 3 in AI, Robotics, and Auto Control (Science Watch, most recent data)

Harvard ranked # 7 in Theoretical Computer Science

In terms of citation impact, Harvard ranked second nationally in the category of Engineering and Computer Science in a 2002 analysis by ISI (for 1998-2002 data; most recent)"
My two kids had a completely different personality when they were each 2 months old. Their personalities have hardly changed in 4 years. So, none of these 3 theories account for this - I think genetics is a much bigger deal.
I'd also like to see Haskell, which tends to be popular on Internet forums.
Is this different than something like the following?

SELECT
app_name,
MAX_BY(version_number, updated_at) as version_number
FROM table
GROUP BY 1
No, I am saying putting someone at ease is only half of it you need to keep them at ease. The standard script I see people use is basically some warmup conversation where everything seems fine, followed by a grilling.

Conducting a full interview “without letting things get confrontational” is difficult. However, unless the job actually requires intense face to face confrontation you want to know how well they can do the job, not how well they can interview for it.
Thanks :)

Also, in relation to what you said about xD and SMC being the same that explains why those adaptors go that way I suppose. Will check out the details about xD for sure.
> Is that Crystallizing Public Opinion?

Propaganda.

> For voters, improve their ability to make the right choice via education and representative (not direct) democracy

The common theme of Le Bon and Bernays was that such groups as "the voters" are inherently not capable of making deliberate choices, and those choices will be made for them by propagandists. I find that depressing, but their arguments for it are convincing.

Easier to glance at an emoji than a commit message. Thanks for this guide.
They reverted some of the things because the paradigms around them have changed, such as "running applications". That paradigm is dead on iOS and Android and is slowly dying on desktop operating systems too. We're getting over the times when we have to carefully consider which apps we should be running to conserve memory, CPU etc. That's not something users should be thinking about.

Modern equivalent of the Start Menu is still the start menu. When you click on it, it shows a list of applications available on the system. Shut down is also the nearest available option there.

So, I disagree with your sentiment that Windows 10 has rolled back good ideas. Windows 10 is simply the best Windows to date ever in all aspects.
>Edit: The emoji I added to the above message was stripped by HN's submission system.

Obviously correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't some of the stuff mentioned by the poster migrated from a higher tier to a lower tier over time? I get the impression that the poster's experience was a while ago...
> He constantly makes comparisons about his comedy and how much more of an experiment it was to showcase the "hidden prejudice" of people

Was that his original intent or is that a retcon? Maybe I was too young to "get it" at the time, but I watched the original Da Ali G Show when it came out and don't really remember that being the point. Maybe if Ali G asked legitimate questions despite his low-status dress/speech mannerisms you'd have a point, but the character was actually incredibly stupid.
I watched it entirely. He is arguing for censorship (because terrorism, pedophiles and racism), nothing new here. Attacking Facebook of course helps to gain attention of people who are happy to be separated from freedom.
"Late state capitalism" is a Marxist term.

> The only chance in hell this country has of surviving is if Republicans widely condemn Trump's behavior

Trump acted like a clown, but he's hardly the only agitator in this mess. The entirety of 2020 has been a shit show from all sides, and near as I can tell no one is interested in backing down.
I’ve been sitewide banned from Reddit twice. It’s always been this way.
Are you claiming nobody has ever called for murder on Facebook or Twitter? By your line of reasoning those apps should be taken down too. We know for a fact that Facebook and Twitter have been the direct causes of far more numerous deaths than Parler. How do you reconcile this view?
Its the opposite.
The hope is that they will go back to watching sports, wrestling, nascar, porn, and whatever else these idiots watch. I feel bad that they got scammed by Trump, but they really should do something other than echo chamber themselves into a deadly mob again.
If TOS will begin to also apply to famous people then I welcome its opening.

Four years too late. Maybe even more.
s/half the population/a little less than a third of 70% of the population

Or maybe about 45% of 70% of the population.

Sources: Pew Research says registered voters are about evenly split between R (29%),D (33%), and independent (34%), and also notes that the independents are pretty evenly split between “leans R” and “leans D” for a total of 44/49% here: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/10/26/what-the-20...

And the Census bureau says about 70% of the population is registered to vote, with about 60% voting in 2016 here: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/election-day.html

(Feel free to go find stats for 2020 for both of those, I can’t be bothered)

Also as a moderator of a Mastodon instance, I can say that this decentralized tech is quite capable of making people STFU, I sure have defederated with a constantly growing list of fediverse nodes full of the exact same kind of shit featured in these Parler screenshots because I just do not wanna talk to anyone like that.
No, that's not just you. They probably wanted to align with other social media platforms, who had already permanently suspended him yesterday.
Niels Bohr: "Two sorts of truth: profound truths recognized by the fact that the opposite is also a profound truth, in contrast to trivialities where opposites are obviously absurd."
There's also way more to Flash than websites. Using Adobe AIR, developers can take their content created in Flash, and package it into apps for iOS, Android, and also for Windows and Mac.
Also legal in the UK. Many retail investors use them, since they offer tax advantages.

Please do argue javascript. How else could you do dynamic and logical operations in the browser presently?
The choice of a platform has nothing to do with the response times. The author was referring to a typical "enterprise" app, which might call several backends at once. Java or no Java, some of them will not be that responsive, and it will increase the overall response time. His point was that the "enterprise" way of thinking of what is "normal" should be reconsidered when you switch to GAE -- Java has nothing to do with it.
Just a convenience note - you can associate multiple OpenIDs with your StackOverflow account, which might save you remembering which one you used.
I imagine this is why Microsoft's Live ID was originally called Passport.
I didn't know him, I just did a quick scan of his blog, at least the articles on finance, which seem to be limited to posts in which he can find something snarky to say about Wall Street or macro economic policy. Plus the blog is titled 'Infectious greed', of course.

But yes he does seem to have a Master's and Doctorate in finance, and he's worked in the financial industry; it looks like he's not a complete quack. But his blog is not a balanced, objective study of economics, either - it's more infotainment than academic discourse (at least that's my impression after a 5 minute visit of it).
And d) you have to take a test to get one.

According to http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-06/20/harley-davids... they are working on a new sound for the electric Harley-Davidson.
To forestall the most common objection:

Yes, the joulies store more heat than water/coffee, by virtue of being denser. The phase change is irrelevant except as a trick; think of it as extra density you don't have to carry. You also don't get to drink it; it's more heat, but less coffee.

Water/coffee stores more heat per gramme than either the phase change or the joulies, so unless you're short of volume, just insulate your coffee.
Also SPDY does everything HTTP does, as seen from the 'upper layers' it looks and acts just like HTTP. Maybe more like HTTPS.
I'm usually a big TechCrunch fan, but I really dislike this article.

From the last paragraph:

"It remains unclear exactly why Spark– a firm known for treating entrepreneurs well– acted this way, and there’s enough he-said-he-said behind the scenes that we may be missing some details."

A VC that is known to be entrepreneur friendly, they know they probably don't have all the details, and yet they still write an article that portrays Spark in a terrible light? I would really rather have all the facts first.
Maybe, but I was curious as to whether there is some reason those specific CDs were included.
