It seems like it should also be usable for shipping between non-remote places, in situations where you need more speed than a boat can provide but don't want to pay the full premium for air freight.

For instance, I seem to recall that Apple ships their laptops by air from Asia to keep the supply lines short. Shipping by boat might be too slow, but this thing might be able to cross the Pacific quickly enough, and at a lower cost than a conventional airplane. A route like this would have warehouses on either end, so you could easily have ballast waiting for the airship whenever it needed it. (You'd probably just pump water from the Pacific at one end, then put it back in the Pacific at the other end.)
I've worked at small to medium companies for the last couple of decades and your experience matches mine.
"If they are a league above other average programmers, what's an acceptable description that you'd use?"

Dedicated. These individuals have mastered their domain; they have spent years learning and practicing. They have built knowledge and skills that can be transferred to other domains. I think people need to stop focusing on the label, and start focusing on the process.

I don't believe a person is born a 10X programmer. It's only achieved through discipline.
It also gained notoriety because it seemed like an attempt by a Chinese actor (possibly the PRC) to force Github to take down two repositories that helped to circumvent the Great Firewall.

Github itself has weathered DDoS attacks before, but I'm not sure how different this attack was in scale.
Gemini uses TLS and it is common practice for Gemini clients to use self-signed certificates and TOFU. No dependency on centralized CAs.

This is kind of silly. Some bugs are more severe than others. Some bugs cost you money, some do not. How can you prioritize fixing bugs vs. developing features when you have "zero tolerance" for bugs?
I was more comparing it to Binance.com which has 9x more volume than Coinbase, not the Binance.us gimped version. For what is worth, Kraken (available in the US) also has smaller fees, more parings at 55% of Coinbase's volume.

Hopefully the US loosens up and doesn't continue paving everything for Coinbase while the major options available elsewhere are closed off.

>And same with Ripple

They had XRP, they just removed it, presumably because they wanted everything to be as clean as possible for the IPO.

I don’t know. Can you tell me? ;)
Small pox, diphtheria,and polio. Droughts, storm damage, flooding, and insects destroying crops. Poor medical care. Child labor. These things and many more existed in the last 200 years here in the US alone and they all endangered children in the ways mentioned.

It absolutely is required beyond small 3 person startups. Google is great to get started but when you are dealing with a dozen or more developers, especially at large organizations IAM offers that granular control and overview.

Yes its a bit of a pain having to add policies sometimes when you are first getting started but once it's up and running you can rest easy.

Learning it isn't that much more time consuming or difficult, its just a bit of effort that is all (we are talking a few hours at most).
Is the upgrade system proprietary, i.e. will I be able to get in new parts besides RAM and disks when Framework is no more?

Will we ever get a laptop component system that's as robust and modular as the desktop ecosystem?
I've seen some live performances with MSSIAH and it's even more impressive in person. The UI isn't just pretty. If you're used to working with a 303 or 909, it's just a low-resolution version of that interface. I wish I had a good excuse to buy one.
I agree.

In terms of learning new things, the vote count helps tremendously! You can tell that a security-related suggestion earning 50 up votes is sound (of course considering context), technology-wise. I've learned a lot about passwords, plaintext, server-side hashing, salting and related best-practices solely from HN comments.

Displaying scores might make the other aspects troubling (since group-think is supported unnecessarily, often disregarding novel thoughts or disagreements). But I've learned to ignore such things, especially since most of the conflicts are "opinions" anyway, so the value addition is somewhat limited.

In terms of actual facts and expertise though, nothing can beat the vote count!

Having said that, I am still not sure which one I prefer given that there is inherently a tradeoff between the two aspects.
When Nvidia announced this for Intel Anandtech used the headline - "Hell Freezes Over: NVIDIA Announces Native SLI Support for the Intel X58 Chipset". So perhaps Nvidia not insisting on things like the NF200 chip is surprising?
The fact that a comment is grayed out makes me want to read it.
For designers: good for practice, bad for business

For businesses: good for unimportant stuff that needs a bit of design, bad for serious stuff

As a designer/business owner, I'm past the point of using this service and since my product is UX/design focused, I wouldn't dream of outsourcing design work in this way.
* a rough measure of whether the HN community agrees with you or not.*

It shouldn't be. Like you said, upvoting!=agreeing. It should be a rough measure of you making your point in a good way.
That's the easiest and most effective solution, I think. But we could also do with an optional visual cue, since a lot of people want it.
Whitelisting. Only allow mail from certified domains or servers. Have a sort of certification/cost barrier system in place to prevent spammers from gaining access. That, or a distributed web-of-trust scenario with authoritative entities like google in the chain.
Blacklists weren't exactly a great solution to start with.
I am probably in your customer target group.

How it will compare with other engines, for example Unity3d. It will be only C++, are you adding a script language on top to make development faster?
Getting games running on all platforms with no modifications is something that I'm working on. I have a 2D cross platform engine, working on 3D, it's totally possible.
anyone know how they marketed this to 50 colleges?
For me the reason to always use semicolons is the same reason I always use ===. There are just too many rules to remember and I've got more important things to keep in my mind.

It's also good to have your JavaScript look like the JavaScript most other people write. I have practiced many different coding conventions in my life, and I don't really hate none of them, but the thing I do dislike is context-switching between different conventions in different projects. We already have tabs v/s spaces and several other possible differences. It would be nice to exclude the choice for semicolon placement from that list.

I do agree with the author in one point: you should understand how automatic semicolon insertion works. And then make up your mind about it. Don't just blindly follow anybodys advice.
Color me convinced by your exhaustive comparison.

Do you also want to encode race, country of origin, height, eye colour, birthdate, into every sentence? Why is gender special enough that it’s worth the problems it causes for many?
> I feel that it is a bit disingenuous to claim they are equivalent if the solution to maintaining a call stack is to explicitly maintain a stack structure.

You're funny.

Equivalent in a computational sense.
No knowledge either, but it looks to me like the "noise" is actually made of stars.

Maybe you didn't zoom far enough? At sub-maximal zoom, there is aliasing resulting from a lack of low pass filtering before the resolution reduction. That looks a bit like sensor noise.
Another +1 for Lektor. I use both Lektor and Hugo to run a few static sites and have come to dread updating the Hugo ones, while the Lektor model just seems to fit better with the way I think.
You do need to trace all predecessors in this case, but in practice I don't think it's a serious problem. The kinds of graphs you'll get in UI are probably best thought of as trees with the possibility of shared resources (for example, all buttons of the same size might share the same background). On something like a theme change, I'd just rebuild the tree, although in theory you could be smarter and apply changes incrementally at a fine grain.
Thank you so much. I read this book when it came out 20 years ago and have been trying to remember what it was called at odd times, On and Off, for roughly the last decade, specifically because of the plot point of the “Focus” virus.
Whether or not you're aligned with Bitcoin political values and goals, please don't be duped by Ethereum. It may appear as something useful, without the stigma of Bitcoin being black market money. However, you ONLY need black market money. Everything else that's ok with being regulated, does not need a blockchain. The hard problem that Bitcoin solved was "How do we create money that wouldn't collapse and lose value once outlawed". The proof-of-work solution cannot be replicated (for reasons I won't go into here, homework for you). And that's a good thing.

Ethereum is a scam and has always been a scam from its inception. Multiple reasons for that:

1) Overly complex, obfuscating its lack of problem to solve by having lots of features and code

2) Constantly coming up with new terms and features and "new hot thing" to try and pump the price and keep the interest going.

3) No real world use case. Only promises and cryptokittes.

4) Literally controlled by one guy (see the now famous "Can you guys stop trading" quote).

5) Only produced scam ICOs with 99.99% of ICO projects practically stealing money from investors with no repercussions whatsoever.

There are many more, but the thing to remember is - Bitcoin solves a real problem: it allows people to escape and bypass existing financial system and continue doing business, save and not be subject to policies outside of their control. It is black market money which governments hate and will try to outlaw in some way. That is the real pain Bitcoin solves for people: not agreeing to unjust laws peacefully and quietly exiting the system.
For the individual victim, the rape is certainly a lot worse than what those agencies do.

However, at scale, agencies that try to censor information and reports about rape/violence other than male-on-female rape/violence might do a lot of harm regardless, be it through stigma, or be it through denying victims and future victims (preventative) information and help, or by getting government to marginalize these problems.

I remember some (women) associations campaigning/lobbying against "men's shelters", trying to get their funding cut or not allocated in the first place, or trying to get local governments to deny permits to operate such shelters. WTF.
Do I have the freedom not to be filmed by your doorbell and have it sent to the police without even your permission to be processed and stored for however long they want and possibly used against me at a later date for something that isn't even a crime now?
First things first, your health is important. See a GP and possibly also get a referral to a suitable therapist. You appear to be severely depressed and understandably so. So professional help is critical.

You are not alone. Many of us have had similar setbacks to you. Recognise the sunk cost fallacy aspect of it. What has happened is in the past. Extract the learnings from the experience so that you will embark upon new projects and not repeat those mistakes.

This article made me sick. Terrible.
When you have low self esteem the only thing you know is that you can't do shit, you may work as hard as you want. Like Henry Ford said: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right."

So I just wanted to say that for me, using a psychological tool (a hack if you will) really worked.
There is no sane person in the world that believes that a torrent site's primary purpose is for legal downloads.

As someone whose colleagues work on BitTorrent for distributed systems research, that's patently false. At the moment I'm in the planning stages of a service which will use BitTorrent for distributed computing a la MapReduce.
Remember that the audience wants you to succeed. Watching an uncomfortable speaker makes an audience uncomfortable as well, so they will be on your side when you take the stage.

Rehearse like crazy and visualize yourself speaking to the large crowd. It's possible the stage lighting will be so bright that you won't be able to see the audience when you present. If that is the case, visualize your most successful practice and pretend you are speaking to that smaller group again.
Netbook makers are getting too good a deal on Windows to switch back to shipping flavors of Linux, at least for the US market. There is far more demand for "cheap Windows laptop" than just "cheapest laptop", if that makes sense.

That said, the rumor is that Chrome OS is only going to ship on ARM, and will do so Real Soon Now. I'm not convinced that Chrome OS is going to be a hit, but I can see more people being willing to give up Windows for it than for a typical netbook Linux distro.
The car crash threw me for a loop, very entertaining read. Not sure if this is exactly relevant, but here's a good TED Talk ("Keep Going Until We Stop"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cakm2nIQWo
On the topic of annoyances, we have white noise generators in our offices - these are terrible. I hunt them down and turn them off wherever they are nearby.

The fans in your servers? :-D
EVE is also one of the major contributors to Stackless Python. The EVE client and apparently quite a lot of the server-side software are written in Stackless.
Comments on a blog do not a community make. I run a news site about a band, and I've never allowed comments. However, the site is closely affiliated with an entirely separate message board, which our staff are regular contributors to.

I see it in kind of the same way Gruber sees it, but without nearly as much hubris and ego. To me, it's my website, and I prefer it to be an editorial publication. I select who writes for the site, because I want a higher quality end result.

That said, some sites benefit from public comment. I remember being ticked off when News.com got bought out by CNet because they eventually turned off comments, and often times the comments helped balance out the ridiculous spin in the articles posted to the site.
I actually think that it's better than the Segway for making you slightly shorter. One of the problems with the Segway is that the increased height (and width) makes you so conspicuous as to practically be flaunting your use of it, and how independent you are from the lowly ambulating masses.

Whereas someone riding a Vespa can still come off as cool. (Though they'll immediately look silly next to someone on a Harley.)
Thus the "trying to" bit, as in, they haven't done it yet, but are getting there.

It still makes sense to go with a physical keyboard if you're strapped for cash. Touchscreens big enough and responsive enough to handle a soft keyboard do not run cheap.

What's wrong with the text rendering in Photoshop? I can't tell the difference between the Safari text and the PS4 text.

As a side note, why is Photoshop re-implementing text rendering? What's wrong with the OS-provided implementation?
I am very curious of 4Chan's "Anonymous" userbase.

Most community structures have identifiable leaderships of some kind yet 4Chan has no usernames and no way of communicating provenance of a given user -- either in terms of reflecting reputation or simply being able to accurately know that two posts in a thread were by the same person/the OP/etc.

Hoaxes and stunts like this (if this is true) are either truly, truly remarkable or the work of a closer sub-set of folks who are in more private inter-communication away from 4Chan for the purposes of coordination but represent themselves to be part of the massive 4Chan community, perhaps for plausible deniability more than anything. It also makes wonderful fodder for the media to make even more of a FUD story out of.

Given that most of 4Chan does seem to be bored teenagers posting pornography, penis jokes and occasionally child pornography I'm inclined to believe it is the latter.
And they say that ruby guys are annoying posting stuff here
Very interesting video, these concepts seemed to have progressed a lot since last I checked in on them.

That being said, I'm finding it very difficult to find any objective comparisons of these algorithms to other, more mainstream machine learning techniques. In the talk, he gave the impression that there was a tremendous amount of data to back up these claims, and that he just didn't have time to present it all. I went through many of the white papers available on the Numenta website. Many were just overall outlines of the approach. A few of them demonstrate tasks for which some form of learning is occurring, however, it was hard for me to know, in the absence of objective comparisons to other techniques, just how good the results really are.

So far, the only objective comparison I could find involved handwritten character recognition, and that was against what appeared to be a standard feed forward neural network with only a single hidden layer. Not exactly state of the art.. why not compare to SVMs, convolutional NNs, deep belief nets, etc..?

So I am at this point hopeful, but fairly skeptical. If nothing else these are some inspiring ideas.
Totally on point, but they dont provide "space" for their businesses.
I disagree, though, because it's more subtle than that. I mean yeah if they started threatening people or stuff they'd get shut down pretty fast, but they're master trolls and aren't that stupid. I actually think remarkably few of them would get partyvanned -- and that as the vanning ratio increased, it would be totally counterproductive for the authorities and only serve to inflame things further.
Using your own domain with different local names lets you get around that. But requires a domain.
Forgetting how big the world is. I get a spiritual awakening every time I take a flight longer than 5 hours.
I've been using this technique for 10+ years. Sadly it doesn't work with Gravatar because

However, it is really interesting to see the amount of spam I get sent to certain 'snowflake' email addresses I have only ever used to submit a comment to top well known blogs. Shows how much database hacking for email harvest goes on.
Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? This one combines personal attack, political flamewar, and nationalistic flamewar. We're trying to avoid all that kind of thing here.

The spec says "Intel Xe Graphics". Any more details on this GPU? Is it this one - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/211013/... ?
You're totally right. From the moment I published this post to now (15 hours period), I made $4,833.16 in sales, which is completely insane.

Dealing with the highs and, more importantly, the lows is what differentiates success from failure.
I think that applies to air source heat pumps, but if you have another medium that might be better.
Interesting read, have you ever used federation? It looks like it's built for exactly this purpose.
Because Conservatives are always on the wrong side of history. And new things replace the old, and there is a reason C is the biggest language of them all.
Yep tribalism/racism is probably the major factor, but nobody wants the local youths to be income-deprived and at a loss for something productive to do, because then they turn to crime, or start ISIS. Which I guess is fine if it's on the other side of the world. /s
Since you linked to several thousand words explaining the differences between the languages, as well as the following quote: "The plan is for the GUI to be considered stable with version 4.0" then I'll assume you haven't used either product. I assure you that I did not spend $4k just to insult the open source community.

Love open source, glad they're doing it, much love to the devs -- and life is just too fucking short. If you're broke or screwing around--ok, maybe. If you're sitting in it more than an hour a week, maybe Photoshop is worth the $10/month vs GIMP, dig?

And if you're in school and get it for free or are interested in getting up to speed with the state of the art in machine learning and qualify for the personal license at under 200 bucks? I can't think of a better tool.
Thank you for the response. You're right, I think discovery needs to be resolved statically, but a persistent DNS record hosting a server that can give you the rest of the info seems reasonable.
WSL could have avoided all of this. Windows has never, ever been a friendly place to install programming languages of any kind.

With WSL I've been able to use Windows for actual development. Want Node? Got it. Python? Done. How Windows has never come up with something as slick as apt baffles me. That shouldn't be hard!

It used to be a good day to wrangle it into submission, with all sorts of ridiculous things like restarting or logging out/logging in depending on the package in question.
At Hampshire College, I studied ethnomusicology and did a thesis called Universal's in Music, coming to the same conclusion. This was 1983.
There's still very important independent journalism payed using donations that uncover the corruption that's going on in my small country (Hungary).

The government took over all media, they are what's left for us, and this year was the first time that they were able to change the result of local elections.
Ok that's reassuring, though I'd prefer if the process was less random.
The only thing that helped me with decades of depression was real hope. And even then it took years of having hope with lots of support from family (generic support in life, I kept my depression a secret) before I finally beat depression.

I've been free of suicidal thoughts for about 6 or 7 years now.

I don't think there is a short cut.

Keep working at it. Look for reasons to keep fighting and you will find them eventually. If you look for reasons to be depressed and give up you will find them too.

Stick with it even if you don't feel better. What other choice do you have? It's a sucky reality while you are in it. But one thing that helped me was to focus on other people. Especially when I felt my worst. It gave me just the tinniest amount of reason to keep going. And sometimes that is all you are going to get.

I am really sorry you are stuck here. There are a lot of people who understand how truly awful it can be.

I just put an email address in my about. I don't check it often. But feel free to email me if you just want to vent.

Depends on your definition of well paid.

Living on $50/h remotely in Vietnam is much more luxurious than $120/h butt-in-seat in San Francisco although it’s a lot less money in absolute terms.
This is a horrible idea. A lot of people commit suicide because of treatable depression, i.e. the wish to die is temporary and could go away with treatment.

There are certainly a lot of things that could make society a better place, suggesting more people start killing themselves is not on the top of my list.
