> So... if I don’t use any templating system, how do I update my header, footer or nav? Well, simply by using the ”Replace in files” feature of any good text editor. They don’t need frequent updates anyway. The benefits of using a templating system is not worth the cost of introducing the tooling it requires.
To be fair, static site generators are a thing and are very much underused in cooperations.

He could have the same scores/performance and still get the full advantages you mentioned.

But yes, handcrafting html is pointless at some point, especially if you have to update the contents every so often
Why isn't Skype suggested more often? I've been using it instead of Zoom very successfully. I've moved a lot of my family over to it for our pandemic get togethers. It works very well as a generic messaging platform.

Microsoft in my opinion is a far more respectable company compared to Facebook.
For the people lost about the connection:

Fascists value:

- corporatism

- nationalism

- "traditional values"

This guy is arguing that we've been straying from these (his) ideals, and corporations that don't stay domestic are part of a larger narrative of cultural decline.
Bitcoin is a deflationary asset. You already have a big chunk of the float in the hands of a very very few people. If they were serious about replacing fiat, you’d come up with a currency that’s inflationary and one that tracks pace of innovation. USD derives most of if not all of its entire value from...US military. No one is going to go to war to save bitcoin. NO ONE.
This is the exact thing I experienced and have been dealing with the past couple days. I wanted to create a small collection of pages as my website, intending to keep everything as small and simple as possible since it was (mostly) just to display some basic info and "posts". Well as soon as I wanted that menu for pages it was a whole new can of worms.

Sure, I could just copy/paste/replace content as it changes. But I don't want to have to be doing that any time I decide I want to change or add something. And I'm known to be a source of human error.

I ended up going Node+Express+EJS for the includes and certain more dynamic content on pages. It works well enough, page sizes are still small. Also considered some static site generators but at the time they seemed like overkill for what I wanted. Maybe there's a tool out there that will compile to plain old HTML files that I'm unaware of, I don't keep up much on front-end things.

As an anecdote, I've been experiencing symptoms in-line with COVID-19, mostly sore throat and intense fatigue. I've been using liposomal Vitamin C at 30-50g per day with great improvement of symptoms. I generally dose every 3 waking hours. If I wait too long between doses I can feel the fatigue come back, which then reduces shortly after taking another dose.
> Tell that to the Unity team. Or look at the app indicators. Or notify-osd.

Unity is (a) not fully-baked yet and (b) a big change from what Ubuntu has historically focused on in the past. App indicators an notify-osd are pretty tiny from a code perspective, though not from a design perspective.

I'm not trying to trivialize the effort of polish and design, because it's a large part of what the free software community has traditionally been fairly bad at. But it's very different from nuts-and-bolts engineering.
Sort of like how Smalltalk replaces 'if' statements with ifTrue: messages?

pg does not tell us on the register page "Hey, say bye bye to your password!". Password that probably lands on a plain text file too, in clear, super-clear, without hashing...

Arc missing SSL support, HN is a side project, pg-pg-pg-is-a-busy-man, CPU usage, $$... WTF!? You better do it right, or don't do it at all.

When months ago I registered, I used a "serious" password.
Then, curious, I took a look at the page source... aargh, no SSL!

Immediately I changed my password with an "offensive" one. And I invite everyone to do the same. Hey pg, hey sniffers, you can read my password, don't you? Go, go, go to read my password!

And as usual, pg fanboys, please be rapid downvoting me.

State of the art and best practices FTW!!!
Woz sounds remarkably similar to Stallman sometimes.
Well, everyone edits things in different ways.

The Emacs way of solving a workflow problem is instructing Emacs how to solve it for you. For instance, you mention:

1. Copy the line the cursor (point) is on;

2. Insert the copied line below/above point;

3. Commenting out the line you copied;

By the sound of things you do 1 and 2 with a command in Vim and the 3rd option with another command. In Emacs, I would simply program a function to do all 3 and bind it to a key.
There can be all sorts of reasons for this, many completely outside your control, and possibly outside the control of your recruiter.

In one of the first situations where I had to hire someone, I got caught up in politics during recruitment. I kept procrastinating on the difficult conversation I needed to have with somebody I interviewed. I’m not proud that I effectively ghosted somebody, but the whole thing made me feel so rubbish that I wanted to stick my head in the sand. Another time, somebody told me they’d called all the candidates - turns out he only called some of them due to an innocent mistake.

In your position, I’d make clear that you’re worried about losing other offers, so you need a response by end of Thursday or you’re going to withdraw your application (or something like that). See if you can also go through the generic company address, in case somebody’s off sick and not dealing with emails.
> If you obtain the inode number by fetching the metadata you're already accessing the inode, defeating a part of the optimization

Actually this is what fclones does, because it needs other metadata of the file as well (e.g. its length). I've found fetching metadata is lot faster than reading anything from a file, so most of the gains of this optimization are still there.
Love this idea. Would definitely love to fund some of my fav authors, esp ones that post on free sites in spare time. I am wondering how this would work though. As a reader I'd totally do it for an author/excerpt I was psyched about.

As an author I'm wondering how useful it would really be. After all, if you already have a large following, getting a publishing deal would be pretty easy. And if you don't have a large following, then you're getting little to no money through the site. Is the site designed to actually help you gather an audience, or is it expected that people will divert their existing audience from other means (social media, etc)

I'm assuming if I give money I'd get the book for free (at least digital version). And how much would I have to give to get this. Would I get anything else? Like maybe a "funders-only epilogue" or something?
Hi all,
I am interested to know if any of you have used Tweetbot for iPhone and would like to hear your feedback to wrap up my piece!
There is a solution to the described problems that has been around for several centuries, but vent out of vogue with the emergence of modern online media. Any good magazine is an example of this solution. A good magazine works because it collects information related to a certain subject of interest and has quality control. This can be done online too. Moreover, it is easier and cheaper to do this online. Unfortunately, this simply isn't being done very often.
Does anyone else have slow framerate while scrolling on that site? I'm too unfamiliar with javascript profilers to figure it out entirely, but it looks like it's doing a bunch of recalculations on every scroll event, including almost a thousand eval calls per second.
The TPM and TPM state are used to unlock the filesystem that contains the hibernation file. If the TPM state is altered, Bitlocker won't boot without a recovery key.

Unencrypted Windows installations do not validate the hibernation file as far as I know.

Then again, encrypting Windows is a lot easier than setting up TPM encryption on Linux. On Windows it's just a button, "enable Bitlocker". On Linux, you're reinstalling if you didn't enable encryption on startup or messing about with moving files in between encrypted and and unencrypted partitions, followed by random tutorials or Github shell scripts to enable the TPM. Or, if you don't care about the easy of use of the TPM, enter a passphrase during every boot.

However, even on unencrypted Windows, you never needed to disable the system enforcing signature checks just to enable hibernation.

It allows you to store money without any middlemen; it's permission-less. Therefore it empowers the individual over the state. It's much easier for the government to pilfer my bank account than it is for them to torture me in hopes I tell them my seed phrase.
I still use Word 97 for most of my writing, because it never nags me for anything, it's always ready to go in a split-second, even though it's running inside a VM, and it always saves a file with no more than two keypresses, one if it's already been saved before.

I remember signing up for Facebook back in the day. They tried to get me to share something about my email contacts list. That just made me not use Facebook instead. Unfortunately, everyone else didn't seem to have a problem with it.

It only matters to people that enjoy taking tests and those that can't be bothered to understand what being successful at a job requires.
I once asked someone "how is this function used?" He put a breakpoint in it, ran the code, triggered it, and showed me a stack trace. "Here's how it's called." That was a nice specific example, but I wanted an understanding of intent or architecture or something he clearly didn't have. I almost never use a debugger, but my approach was developed in a time of 8-bit machines that didn't have debuggers. That said, I have seen bugs that could probably not be found without a debugger - including compiler errors.

Of course not, and that's a highly uncharitable reading bordering on bad faith.

1) the current state of affairs does not remove threats, because the agencies are starting trouble, too;

2) the people are the ones who have to live with the effects of something, in the US a result of a democratic system where the agencies may prioritize their own imaginations over citizens' actual lives, where the agencies may have perverse incentives.

Actually, Android 2.2 does provide some security measures for applications installed to the SD card. The "Move to SD" feature only moves the signed APK package. The package is encrypted with a randomly-generated key that remains in secure storage: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/apps-on-sd-ca...

This is not perfect copy protection (nothing is), but it protects apps against tampering by other apps. But it also means any files outside of the APK cannot be moved completely to the SD card; those files remain in internal storage. This is why apps with native libraries (like Opera Mobile and Google Earth) still take up so much internal storage even when moved to SD.

[The "apps2sd" feature found in some unofficial pre-2.2 ROMs like Cyanogenmod does not provide the same security features. Your criticism is accurate in those cases.]
All this patch does is add a smarter default for just such an API: cgroups.

Obviously, any change to the default behavior is going to require building a new kernel.

Hmm, I guess my understanding of hacker norms, at least in the communities I've been in for some years, was that there was no particular requirement to ask permission before building derivative versions of stuff, and generally you should assume it's allowed and encouraged, though credit is appropriate (and generally more prominent credit than this asciimo site gave). There's a half-dozen or so Hacker News repackagings that never asked pg's permission before going live, for example (e.g. http://hacker-newspaper.gilesb.com/).

So I'd definitely agree credit was poorly given, and this guy's motives probably aren't good either, but "code theft" seems a bit silly. "Nobody can use my stuff without permission" seems sort of out of place in hacker culture. I mean, TAAG itself is built on reusing a bunch of other people's work.

I use gettext since years in different projects coded in different languages.

My main reasons for using it:

* it just works, since years

* libs for many programming languages

* tools to help edit the po-files for every major operating system

* I prefer to write plain English strings into my application instead of symbols for example.
Wow, what a dick this Marak guys seems to be. He steals someone's code (possibly laboring under a mistaken idea of how copyright law works) makes snarky comments about the original and then when he's called on it instead of just admitting his mistake he is rude and nasty about it (and still doesn't bother to check what the actual law is, which just makes him look like a total idiot).
I don't get it. If every change is tracked by github and he gives links and attribution to TAAG what is the problem? Is there any license issues involed that i can't grasp? What is the original codes license? In what license the new library is distributed?
He is head of the diagnostics department (which consists of him and his team). And – as he says in the pilot – they are looking for zebras [1], not horses. By the time patients get to him all the horses have already been ruled out.

If Apple's engineers have no other ideas, I'm sure they could improve search by scraping the result of the Google (or even Bing, I suppose) search:

and then using that to drive their app search results.
Right now it's just a HTTP server and REST framework. It's a very first release and I don't have any DB drivers for it yet- they would need to be non-blocking as you mentioned.

I have plans to write dbslayer like "access DB over REST" service as a companion to Luaw so that it can use any and all databases that have JDBC drivers available without having to write non-blocking driver specially for each new database. This kind of arrangement where DB connection pooling is abstracted out of application server itself has other advantages related to auto-scaling in cloud and red/black or "flip" code pushes at the cost of slightly more complex deployment.

All depends on how much spare time I actually get :(

That sounds highly disingenuous. F-Droid appears to have over 8 million downloads[0]. Amazon's store is probably well patronized too (and they seem to have good deals on paid apps). I'm sure there's some piracy, but I don't think it's that prevalent (at least not in the US). Either way, as a user, I'd rather be on a platform that is open enough that piracy is possible.

I wonder what the future for Atom will look like with respect to performance. I use both (Atom + Sublime) infrequently; load times for Sublime are "instant" on my Mac Mini vs. ~6 seconds for Atom with only minimal packages installed (minimap, color-picker).

I remember reading that perf wasn't going to be looked at until after 1.0. The pace of Atom's development is impressive but I find myself cringing slightly before launching Atom in anticipation of the slow load time. I guess I'm spoiled but I like my editors to load in <1s.

I appreciate your balanced take on this - but i disagree. Airbnbs discounts for long stays make it pretty competitive here. I pay 3500 pesos a month for a room. That includes power, internet, Netflix, toilet paper, all kinds of other amenities.

It's not ideal, but the barrier to entry is way lower for a premium that is not really high imo.

Out of curiosity, where are you from?
> but maybe i just didn't knead it long enough for the flour to absorb the water

If you let the dough mix sit for a 10 minutes or so before you start kneading, it allows the flour to hydrate and thus it'll get less sticky. This is one of the arguments for "no-knead" bread recipes.

But when kneading bread you should always knead it until you can take a piece of dough and stretch it thin enough to see light through it (this is called "the window-pane effect"). This indicates that the gluten in the dough is strong enough for a good rise and crust. Once you knead it to that point it's almost always no longer really sticky.
It's bad in the U.S. as well. At least in Wisconsin, toilet paper, bleach, etc. Are nowhere to be found. Not in the supermarkets, not in the corner stores, not in the hardware stores... Milk, flour and eggs are also scarce. The limits are there but it's hard to say if it's helping.

Radio hosts are pleading with people to stop hoarding and just be reasonable.

Fortunately, my wife is a soapmaker, so we won't run out of at least that.
Nobody goes around hugging, shaking hands with, or kissing strangers in the US.
