I begrudgingly admit that the M1 Air is one of the best computers ever made, having never liked Apple as a company. Not sure what kind of smaller you’re aiming for, but that thing is borderline too small, which is just about perfect.
Widespread use does not help the user: whoever wants their secrets will still insist on production of ever more secrets whenever the user is found to be using a PDDB.

Widespread use can only help if that widespread use leads the State to accept it and that it should not insist on production of secrets from PDDBs. However, how likely do you think that would be??
Consider that the source of frustration in traffic is the condition that you, the driver, are stuck behind the wheel, having to focus on creeping along. If you didn't have to pay attention, really, to your surroundings and could multitask your trip away, I suppose a driver would be less concerned with a drive taking 5 or 10 extra minutes.
99% of the opposition to Signal integrating cryptocurrency payment seems to be from people who generally disagree with the idea of cryptocurrencies (the article has this position). These arguments of course are veiled as keeping the Signal app "pure" and focused on encrypted messaging. I've rarely seen people kick up this kind of fuss with other messaging features so it just reeks of being disingenuous.

At least be honest and just say that you disagree with cryptocurrencies, instead of dancing around it with other strange arguments / conspiracies about government attention.
We lost the environment where the whole OS was a debugger, and everything could be inspected and modified as the system was running.
Proper headset is the first step. Just by everybody having good headsets and small lag -> everybody wins.

But in some situations having the extra help is what makes the difference. For example: today my room is noisy because some neighbour is using a drilling machine. With those softwares, I'm helping everybody else in my meetings, even if my life is miserable right now.

Nah being broke isn't being able to afford a domain. It's eating fast food 3 days in a row because your paycheck isn't coming for another three days and the gas bill was $50 higher this month and your kid needed to see the dentist.
> if you live, breathe, drink and eat on U.S. soil, you are already fucked and it is only a matter of when the timer goes off.

In fact, come to think of it, this holds true almost everywhere. Us humans are in the middle of a mortality epidemic.
> Do the "plenty" of people have an issue with you having a German ethnicity? How so?

But he doesn't have German ethnicity...? His ancestors moved to the US in the 19th century.
Depends on who wants the privacy though. The US government has become increasingly secretive for example. It seems nobody even really knows how much money this surveillance effort is even costing us...

I'm glad I found this post because I enjoyed our dialog and was looking for the fundamental difference between our perspectives.

People change how they act when they are being watched. Is a life lived while watched as free as one in private? Are you willing to argue that a man influenced by the panopticon is just as free under that influence? A life spent avoiding shame, embarrassment and condemnation is an oppressed life if you ask me. It is also a society which will subdue creative and divergent thinking, in turn slowing scientific and cultural progress. Compare Chinese schooling grades in maths and science with their performance on the nobel prize stage. An educational system which enforces strong conformity and strict rules performs well on paper but fails to produce as much innovative thinking.

Just one novel example I came up with while examining PISA scores recently. The negative effects of the panopticon are well documented.

Such thinking, that there is "bad people" and "good people" is a very scary path for a government to walk. "Pose no threat and you have nothing to worry about" is not freedom.

Ultimately I believe a nation's amount of freedom should be determined by how it treats its dissidents and marginalized people, not by how it treats the loyalists. In a free nation I shouldn't have to be loyal to conventional behaviour to feel free. The two do not go hand in hand.
I find it unfortunate though that quite a few of the requirements for those standards is "buy more ARM IP blocks" rather than asking defining blocks that can be implemented by others.

It feels like a self defeating cash grab.

There are other ways to validate transactions besides proof of work, which is what Bitcoin uses, that can prove that a transaction is valid without using extreme amounts of compute power. Proof of stake is a good example.
It's not like GME is a fixed supply. Can someone explain why at some point GME wouldn't just issue more shares and capture the short squeeze themselves? Basically you buyback if you're undervalued and you sell (and issue if necessarily) if you're overvalued.
I believe the Memphis Pyramid used to be a basketball arena, but that was shut down a few years back, and now it just serves as a Bass Pro Shop storefront.

I do like these UI/UX services but that's too rich for my blood. We used DesignPickle and ManyPixels for much less.
the options are still too expensive. they are over half the price of buying the shares and they’ve been up to 90% of the share price.

>[Brian Hook, the U.S. Special Representative for Iranian Affairs] also blamed Iran’s leadership for its coronavirus woes, saying that Iran “spends billions on terrorism and foreign wars” and that if it spent one tenth of this “on a better health care system, the Iranian people would have been much better off.”

Well, that's a bit ironic and hypocritical.
In case people from this project are still checking this thread. I am actually looking into Drools at this moment so the timing cannot be better...

I have a few questions:

1. Is this a new skin/interface for existing tools like Drools / jBPM or re-implementing that functionality?

1a. If new skin: is it fair to say, once the business application is built (there maybe bugs along the way due to the stage of this project), since the foundation is Drools / jBPM, we can expect production quality that we would expect out of Drools/jBPM?

2. What is the KIE Group? Is this owned by Redhat? It is very hard to tell by reading the footer.

3. Does the team provide consulting services to use these tools for an enterprise adoption?
We've got all those 737s...
Yeah they doubled it after I left. But in return they give everyone an automatic 5% on top of their salary.
Her understanding of AI does not translate to an understanding of how a society runs or how laws should be made. If anything, many people overgeneralize their expertise at one task to suggest bad solutions to problems from other domains. Especially engineers and PhDs.

I agree that she's still better than most US politicians. I have some faith in politicians from Western Europe to do half the correct thing, or at least not be swayed by arguments coming from money too much. Not that much faith, but still..
> Anger from purists who care about the fact it's not decentralised

You can call me a purist if you like, but every single project starts failing when it becomes too big, unless it's decentralized. You simply cannot afford to serve millions of users without a profit. Telegram now has to include ads.
As tinkerers, the personal website is seductive. And that’s fine if you’re mindful of it, or you’re just starting out. But at a certain point it’s a good idea to be clear on what problem you’re trying to solve. And be wary of solving a problem that doesn’t exist, and may never exist.

There’s an opportunity cost to spending a bunch of up-front time setting up a bunch of crap you may never take full advantage of. You could be focusing on the content, finding an audience.

It’s helpful to zoom out and remember the timeless mantra: “You ain’t gonna need it.”
I was incorrect in saying that stimulants are SNRIS, they are NDRIs as you say, however my point still stands.
I don't understand the difference between e.g Adderall and Wellbutrin (which is an NDRI antidepressant)

Amphetamine is a releasing agent too good point but this additional aspect aside, dextroamphetamine should have the same antidepressant effect as Wellbutrin and I don't think that is the case, for an unknown reason.

Different drugs have different receptor affinities.
Oh I thought Adderall was non-selective (affecting all receptors) but I might be wrong and that would be a possible explanation!

And the different metabolites do too. I don't know what this can imply.
Whatsapp does, so it's probably not that critical of a feature.
> It is a memory hog

This is different from my experience, when working on Java projects with a few thousand source files and about 1 million SLoC.

Eclipse - had some problems with the autocomplete being slow to open, IDE was overall unresponsive and used around 2 GB of RAM
NetBeans - the cache folder filled up weirdly quickly (though that was NetBeans 8.2 not the new Apache NetBeans), but the IDE worked fine with around 1.5 GB of RAM usage
JetBrains - project was slow to open (+while indexing), but the IDE performs okay with 0.5 - 1 GB of RAM usage (though more needed when running/debugging)

Currently i have a computer with 24 GB of RAM and an 8 core CPU, both of those seem sufficient but in my experience the IDE isn't the main thing consuming memory, it's actually all the services you might want to launch through it (if you need breakpoints across multiple ones).

Of course, this would become more of an issue if you have something like 4 or 8 GB of RAM available.

Disclaimer: this is anecdotal data and i may be wrong in regards to latest versions of the IDEs, since i only use JetBrains products nowadays.
Is there a legal difference between unlawful and illegal?
DeltaChat, it's encrypted email that present itself as a chat.
You can use your own smtp, or use a existing one. It only needs to be able to create a folder locally and use GPG.

This possibly the best comment I've ever read on Hacker News - it so succinctly points out what is wrong with the modern world.
I have no idea of the percentage of English speakers, but I didn't have a problem. This Quora answer [1] mentions that younger people are more likely to speak English, and I saw that but the interactions with middle-aged people was OK too. There's usually a way to get by. With the professional class there, their conversational English was excellent.

The CDC, and the federal government writ large, has exceptional authority in times of pandemics, including the implementation of actual lockdowns.

It is almost certainly legal, and precedent has shown much worse.
Do both. Building an audience takes time, you're not going to see much fruit from that labor for a while.
I watched the stream live, and instantly unsubscribed from Destiny's youtube channel.

Saying that you feel like the situation allows for lethal violence to be used and that you would bless it is certainly, without a doubt, inciting violence.
Absolutely agree I doubt it was on purpose. I bet there's a cheeky browser plugin in that "feature" somewhere that helps you disconnect from an argument by literally frustrating you until you stop trying haha
This, meaning a replacement for using excel as a database?

That would be nice, but you just wait until the root cause analysis of a catastrophic failure gets traced to a backside that was inadequately obscured by "engineering judgement".
Does your banking application, Google Pay, and other services that (needlessly) rely on SafetyNet work on that phone?
It is getting buzzwordy, probably by virtue of being in proximity of the Big Buzzword: "Industry 4.0". But it's a real thing.

I work with digital twins in chemical manufacturing, and there the term is directly coupled with Model Predictive Control. The basic idea is that you build a model of the system (e.g. a chemical plant) you want to control, use that model to optimize controller behavior, apply the results to real controllers in the real system, and then sample the system to reground the model. Rinse, repeat. Such a model is called the "digital twin" of the real system - the idea is that it exists next to the system and is continuously updated to match the real world.
The author doesn't understand the stupidity of wanting to re-implement HTTP over raw sockets... No, the future of HTML software is just HTTP version X... not raw TCP-IP...
Thanks. This is a much better reply than the OP's. Now what do you do for things that don't get tagged?
A few points:

1. If you are right, that's why it's better to use your own product and scratch your own itch. It aligns your companies goals with your own.

2. I don't think you're right. The reason they don't respect the competition is incomplete information. "We have awesome feature x" or "We have advantage y" and you don't know if they are going to deploy awesome feature x tomorrow or feature z which is better than x.

3. To me, Entrepreneurship is the ability to create the lifestyle I want, by providing value to others. I think providing the value is part of feeling empathy with their needs and wants.
http://mormon.org/people/ is interesting to check out. It's the LDS Church's attempt to have it's own "social" site, and add a human face to their faith.
I fell in love with fish while watching a video tutorial for Babushka[1]. I immediately switched all of my boxes over to it as the default shell. Switching over decades of bash scripts was tough at first, but I bought into the whole simplified shell philosophy.

But unfortunately I had to abandon fish after a solid month of using it exclusively. Active development seems to have ceased on it. There are a lot of bugs in the code, at least a couple of which make the shell almost completely unusable for me (for example, running fish from screen is problematic). The mailing lists have some activity, but nothing much from developers. At this point it seems like an abandoned project. As an example of the lack of oversight, the main project web site's domain registration lapsed earlier in the year and it is only back thanks to a good Samaritan.

So I switched to zsh. And it has been pretty great. The configuration files are daunting, but it can do pretty much everything that fish can (and a whole lot more), it is under active development, and is backward-compatible with bash.

Cool…that's not what the link sent me to. It was a 3-page I9 from–iirc–1991 that said nothing about paperwork reduction.
We got tired of waiting for OTA sync and true delegation support so we built our own:

http://heliumnow.com

I will say that getting the edge cases for sync is difficult (We also integrate with email which has made it even more complex). Having spent the last several months fighting through it I can empathize with Cultured Code's perspective. But the user community has been vocal about this issue for years. OTA sync is a critical piece of a task management workflow, you've got to have it.
Sorry you missed some steps there:

- Just set up a sip server with appropriate SRV records in the DNS.

- Discover that you also need A records (that now collides with webserver on your domain), because not every client supports SRV. (and some also need NAPTR)

- Discover that half of the phones are not compatible with your server out of the box.

- Discover that to support vendor A you need to enable X and to support vendor B you need to disable X.

- Discover that you cannot call users on network xyz.com because you're not authorized to.

XMPP, email, etc. are nice and well defined (yes, even email with all its problems) compared to SIP. SIP works ok-ish within one limited domain and one set of (clients-servers). It does not work between unrelated people. Additionally big internet telephony "supporters" like Cisco will do a lot to make sure your phone works correctly only with their gateway and almost nothing else (voip non-supporters like MS will do the same).
Another very useful tool along these lines is sysdig. It can do pretty much everything in this article and more.
That's PG's most important piece. By occasionally publishing short references to it (like TFA), he re-surfaces it for people who haven't seen it before or haven't thought about it for a long time.

When I was a child it seemed that society could distinguish moral judgments from epistemological ones. Now it seems that epistemology is the only remaining hiding place for judgmental moralists. Fake news!
Nice. Wifimask looks promising, esp with ad-blocking built-in. A few questions:

Where do you purchase your servers from?

How trustworthy are the underlying VPS providers across different countries that you've got presence in?

It was recently pointed out that PIA was $30 million in debt... Looks like VPN is a brutal business, but your pricing is (low?) at $4 for unlimited devices and you're bootstrapped. How do you manage to pull it off?

What are the upcoming features that you plan? Consequently, what are the most requested features?

Thanks.

This is almost exactly how it is in real life though. The more people you approach for a date -> the more chances you might have. And forget actual dating apps - people are using regular social media like Instagram to "meet" people too.
They aren't cutting hours with the labor market this tight. That's scaremongering.
I've been able to do this after re-arranging my life over the past 5 years. I bought 7 acres of bare land for $35k and built a 200 sqft tiny house for $4,000. I homestead as much as I can and my bills are approximately $40/DSL, $40/Electrical, $35/Car insurance (I drive a 90s Honda), and approximately $30 a month in property taxes. I spend about $40 in propane for heat in the winter and my air conditioning bill is an extra $15/month in the summer. I'm halfway between Portland and San Francisco and do telecommute node.js/angular work. I'm saving up to build a nice house and a this summer backhoe. Some projects I'm working on this summer include a biodigester to supplement my propane for cooking gas, a rocket mass heater to eliminate my propane, a backyard blacksmiths area, drip irrigation and cistern system, and more fencing for livestock. My property search took me several years and I had no experience in construction but learned most of it from youtube and asking friends. I lived in a camper trailer while I built my place. So to answer your question, about $200 a month is the cheapest I can survive on.
Used travel trailers and RVs older than 15 years are ludicrously cheap. Arrange with the seller to drop it at your property if you don't have a big enough tow vehicle. You can find small patches of land in rural America for very little money. Say $10k for an acre in woods of no particular scenic beauty with power and water. Once you pick an area a real estate agent can help you find someone's old wilderness retreat or abandoned farmstead.

Speaking as someone with a solar installation, I wouldn't screw with solar if I were worried about cost. Live like you are on solar and you will buy $0.30 of electricity a day from the power company.

Your limitation is going to be fast enough internet, that will keep you close enough to be under cable tv or a benevolent telecom.
Would love to say we thought this far ahead but this was a total coincidence through a text from a friend who is avid on HN
I see 1-indexing as an artifact of a lot of linear algebra texts, whereas 0-indexing is more popular in analysis. Julia just wants it to be easier to directly copy formulas from publications.

I also think it’s blurry as to whether mathematicians and programmers see indexing numbers as merely indices or richer numbers.
Apologies for making you sad and sorry bringing party politics into this conversation.

Perhaps a more constructive way to say this would bave been:

"I worry that this story may lead individuals to conclude there is a broad pattern of reverse discrimination across the country."

My argument is that there is not such discrimination against White males in the population more generally.

Thanks and apologies again.
Ditto to David and we expect to have info on this in the next few days

One of my favourite quotes: "Constraints are like structured programming for variables". https://web.archive.org/web/20070422104545/http://www.donhop...
Listening is a very significant skill that should be cultivated in every individual irrespective of age or role played in the society (https://ivypanda.com/essays/how-to-enhance-listening-skills/). This is because it touches on almost every aspect of life that necessitates communication: for instance, education, job or even family relationships. So, I totally agree with you!
Prior to the advent of modern medicine people didn't heal themselves. They died at record rates from things that are minor inconveniences now.
Solar is only a piece of the puzzle.

The main issue is that in the US, we use up twice the amount of electricity in the day than we do at night. Spinning up and spinning down the turbines / generators causes enormous amounts of waste.

Green energy can't "spin up" and "spin down" like coal, oil, or nuclear.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2013/10/07/what-is-the-hol...

Some large percentage of our grid (in particular, the "dynamic" portion) will have to be Coal, Oil, Gas, or Nuclear. The Gigawatts of energy differential between day-usage and night-usage foregoes any hope of storing that energy.

PyCharm supports Django (1.3) at least. I see there is a ticket open for jinja support 2 though.

I've no experience with pycharm, but if it has some of the qualities of intellij (and to some extent rubymine) it should be usable.
Why would hardcore environmentalists not like those solutions? If anything I think they'll move to deploying these solutions to more targets.
