I consider myself extremely risk averse, and would probably agree with you on most things.

But with unbeatable Major Depression you are dealing with a significant suicide risk, and the risk to your legal status may be worth the benefit to your overall happiness.

People who want to replace a little Prozac with Psilocybin can afford to wait 10-15 years for treatments to become standardized, legal and affordable.

I spent 15 years assuming that I would kill myself someday, and basically all of life was a delaying action to put suicide off as long as possible. So for me taking the plunge into illegal self treatment was worth it. A yearly Ayahusca session for me does more to combat depression that years of therapy and legal medications.
Yeah, my read of the SEP is that they are delicately saying ("metaethically") that Nietzsche was an A-hole.
Not shoreline specifically, but commercially-viable shoreline. Ports, harbors, rivers, etc; places where you can move people and things to other places. Generic stretch of beach is not such a place.
My .emacs on this machine is almost literally this:

(custom-set-variables
'(indent-tabs-mode nil)
'(inhibit-startup-screen t)
'(menu-bar-mode nil)
'(show-paren-mode t)
'(tool-bar-mode nil))

On my home computer I have somewhat more involved .emacs, but apart from the above (and huge list of totally random variables picked up by customize-save-customized since 2003) it consists of long-irrelevant compatibility hacks and somewhat complex logic for creating correctly sized frames on additional X displays (which I stopped really using when I got 4k monitor)
Whatever the counter is, the fact that it's 32,768 instead of 65,536 suggests they used a signed int for something that presumably starts at zero and increases monotonically... Avoiding just that mistake would've given them twice as much time - nearly 7.5 years - which seems like it'd be longer than these drives would typically last anyway.
Same. It's a bit like Dvorak. Yes, in theory you could make your life 10% better by carefully customizing, but there's also great value in just sticking with the default for the most part. You can sit down anywhere and everything just works.
They could have the rule be "all inactive accounts with less than X followers".
Rclone is not a backup system, it is a sync system. It does not do any archiving, deduplication, pruning, etc. It just syncs two directories (with possible encryption added on top). It can be efficiently utilized as an extra final step in a backup plan.
Comparing duplicity to something a deduplicating software suite is not really correct, they don't even provide the same functionality (like mounting snapshots, like handling moving around of the files on the hard drive, like space-efficiently backing up files from different machines, like smart and efficient pruning, like speed of access(impossible for duplicity to achieve), etc.).
Anyone remember flipcode and gamasutra?
> holding judgment until further evidence

You're writing off a sustained torrent of multi-source evidence. Even the CCP admits they're "re-educating" an entire race.

If you can ignore those, I do wonder what it's going to take to convince you there's something bad happening.
This website has a very thorough Firefox de-bloat and anti-tracking guide: https://spyware.neocities.org/guides/firefox.html

I find that some of those options are excessive, but it's good for the privacy-minded in general. Just change the options based on your threat model.
The mandates are not that though. The mandates are government forcing the business to demand the card, and shutting them down (with police) if they don't feel inclined to enforce it.
Yes. If you look at protofascist movements, very often there's a hearkening back to a mythical golden age.

As an adult, I now am also not so comfortable with Tolkein's strong emphasis on race and tribe. Or how it's the intrinsically evil dark or unnatural peoples from the south versus the fading pure white peoples from the north.

Fun stories, and I'll happily read them, but I think it's instructive about some human inclinations that, if indulged, take us to ugly places.
Hilarious. As a comic fan as a kid, I always wanted to see my X-men, Avengers, Stark, et. al. on the big screen. I had no idea how nightmarish it would turn out. A lot of it has to do with growing up, but as I sit with my kids through these movies I can't help but think: Every one of these movies is nothing but a goddamned Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episode.
I'd suggest sticking "Mac only" somewhere in the submission title, to save a lot of people a little bit of time.
I wonder (genuinely, no trolling) if the mentality has changed with the startup explosion.

In other words, would large companies in general be as keen on signing away rights to pet projects by their best and brightest today as they seem to have been in the past?

Or maybe I'm just young/naive...

I don’t think anybody is arguing speed limits should be abolished. At least not in any general sense. But, it’s plain enough to see that speed limits on some roads are wrong.

I-495 in VA is a prime example. It’s posted at 55mph and traffic regularly flows faster (or slower, during rush hour). It really needs variable limits based on traffic volume instead of a dumb 55.
What are interesting things you can do with a minimalist neural network, or even a full blown neural network for that matter?

You just kind of like... train a data set, hope you don't under or overtrain, and then what? Feed it some input, get out an approximate output?
It's really easy in Zig to be honest. Just put `defer thing.deinit()` in the right scope and you're done. You gain explicitness and know exactly what's going on in your Code. Everything is obvious. That's the reason Zig is so incredible simple and easy to read. Zig also has a GPA that will tell you about memory leaks or anything.
It's potentially recoverable, but stuck in some "private" object your JavaScript application will never bother to look at. It's still a memory leak.
If a mathematician is someone who knows that

The best trackpad I've used was on the Tegra K1-based Acer Chromebook 13. It had a good size for multi-touch gestures and was just really well integrated. Combined with a nice low-friction surface and a positive click, I still haven't found its equal.

In fact, that line of chromebooks had the best overall package. Slim, but very sturdy plastic body, a surprisingly good keyboard, ~10 hour battery life. The 13" FHD screen was OK, but not amazing, I would have liked an IPS panel instead of TN.

The major downside is that it was a 32-bit ARM-based chromebook and everyone was going 64-bit x86 instead. So it got slower and slower with each successive update, eventually it couldn't even play 1080p Youtube videos anymore, or even 720p60. Such a shame.
A coworker of mine got into trouble when he named a directory ~ and then tried to delete it.
* It is (with a lot of ifs and buts) a microkernel

* it is optimized for integration with third party software from people who don’t have the source, so for instance the driver model is interesting

* the built in configuration system (the registry) and how it’s used throughout

* the (underused) personalities system you can use to show different apis to different binaries

* the security model is much more interesting, while in Linux you have ‘root’ and everything else, on Windows this is much more granular (unfortunately it’s so complex it’s basically impossible to use).

The architecture is really quite interesting, even though Microsoft didn’t make a lot of use of a large part of it.
Presumably your application would just be creating new windows and your windowing system would take care of displaying it as either tabs or separate windows.

What other evidence do you expect? It can't be based on future behaviour.
Author here. The name was chosen mostly out of playfulness to describe Windows since I seem to recall XENIX being the earliest example of Microsoft dipping their toes in the water with UNIX support.

I tried to add a file using Windows file explorer, but it just complains "The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted."

7-Zip doesn't even see the folders for that matter.
You can't have a passphrase on the key which IMO probably provides better security than rotating SSH keys.

Just sitting still and quietly will calm the mind, but without penetrative insight into the nature of reality, we are beading up on the pyrex sheet of reality instead of coming to know what is common to all. Essentially, there are a lot of habitual patterns of grasping and aversion (mainly grasping) that keep Awareness tethered to the mortal coil and also tethered to a lot of cramped psychic space.

While I have not tried Transcendental Meditation, I do have some knowledge of the fundamental notions of Buddha's teaching and would say that meditating on compassion over and over again until you weep for all sentient beings is essential to eliminating the hard shell of the intellect that keeps us from being receptive and sensitive to the abiding nature of reality.

In a similar way, you can consider one mushroom and its limited awareness of the forest. If the mushroom were to contemplate a compassionate wish for other mushrooms, the identity-difference would dissolve and the mushroom could become aware of the whole forest floor. Just a simple metaphor, but perhaps the image is clear.

Meditating can sharpen your focus, but meditation cannot take you all the way there without knowledge of the way things are in a phenomenological sense.

So if you need a recommended regimen, start with compassion and when your compassion is strong ponder identitylessness and interdependence.

Pray to find the perfect resources and they will find you.
"the goal is to slow not stop"

The goal is for it to stop. But anything that slows it down, is good.
I've only had it when demanded by managers, who generally associate "work" with yakking in person because it's often the only thing they know how to do. I've never been requested by another dev to switch the cam on - what with talking, typing and screen-sharing, it's just an unnecessary thing to distract focus.
It is not rational to ignore entirely predictable parts of human crowd dynamics.

Even if you could override human behaviour, there is still concern that the virus will mutate to fast for anything remotely similar to herd immunity to be possible.
Amazon has insanely cheap shipping rates. I sell on Amazon and we use Amazon for fulfillment. The rates they charge us for shipping are so incredibly good. We would need to do insane volumes to achieve their rates, but they would still be more expensive because their rates include customer service and returns. It's nuts.

Both the article and the video mention daily exercise as essential.
- SQL Server

All of those were "cloud-adjacent" even in their proto-forms as on-premises–only offerings. Even if they weren't "real cloud infrastructure" they were big Capital-E Enterprise products and a lot of selling cloud is still B2B Capital-E Enterprise work at the end of the day.

> Traditional marketing. Tesla spends millions on marketing annually, it's right there in their financials. Just recently a pile of pro-Tesla Twitter bot accounts were banned. Did you know that Tesla is paying people to post messages on social media?

Umm what? I can assure you that most pro-Tesla Twitter accounts are happy owners. I know cause I am one. The amount of FUD on Twitter directed against Tesla is insane!

I created my Twitter account in February 2008 and it has pretty much stayed dormant for the most part. Until I bought a Model S and discovered the TSLAQ trolls and often challenge their B.S. claims with actual sources. Case in point: https://twitter.com/teslahistorian

Wow. Haha. I laughed. Hard. Almost woke up my girlfriend, actually. That was pretty funny.

The Google system is immensely complex, involving thousands of machines distributed through several continents. Somehow I manage to interact with it by typing a few words...
The (original) headline asked the question "was it Apple's fault?"

The answer is no. I cannot believe that Apple would do anything intended to lower their stock price.
Because magnets have two poles, the force drops off by varying amounts, depending on the shape and size of the magnet. (The closer pole attracts, while the farther one repels. The other magnet also has two poles, which makes things even more complicated. For example in a short magnet the second pole has a greater influence than it does in a long one.)

It also depends on if you are interacting with another magnet, or with unmagnetized iron. ^3 or ^5 is just an approximation - it can go to ^7, and it's not a definite number, it varies.

I'm not so sure that it does. I live in Australia, where we've always had limited downloads and speeds. When I first got ADSL (about 6 years ago), my AU$60 bought me 2GB quota at 256kbps. Now it gets me 120GB and I sync at 19Mbit (the fastest my phone line will allow).

The lack of competition in the US broadband and phone market is the cause for slow growth, not download limits. You can say that Australian broadband is still expensive and slow (in comparison to some countries) but that is at least partially due to the low population density and the massive distances between cities. Australia has 219 ISPs offering ADSL (source:broadbandchoice.com.au), and as a result the value for money offered has increased significantly in past years, and will continue to.

The main page does talk specifically about issues with running crypto in the browser:

"Unforunately, this is not as great as in desktop applications because it is not feasible to completely protect against code injection, malicious servers and side-channel attacks."

Nevertheless, I wonder what tptacek thinks about the implementation.
I would love to see a comparison between some of these different frameworks. HN is abuzz about React Native, but is it really that much different than the others? In particular, do the others attempt to be declarative like React Native? Is the performance comparable?

The main advantage I see is that it's open source and free (with some patent caveats).
text editing is mostly ok for me: biggest bug is the full screen bug on OSX (it'll create a modal on the wrong full screen, but when you switch, the modal disappears, but still blocks the UI - only solution is hard kill, meaning you lose progress if the modal was a Save dialog)
Not the person that you replied to, but he probably means the book on the right. It's a good recommendation especially if you are trying to understand how and why DevOps / SRE works and why it's important.
You could argue that we've had the low-level API since JavaScript was added to the browser
This is more common than you might think. Back when I worked on a COBOL compiler at IBM one of our test cases was an "expert system" that turned ~20 lines of business-specific DSL into ~100k lines of COBOL. It was extremely un-fun to deal with.
So, sick people will have more storage space?
Yes. The only reason I chose Clojure over Racket was the increasing popularity of "Practical programming" books for Clojure. Let's see Practical Common Lisp in Racket?

we're nowhere close to building anything sophisticated that's mechanically self-replicating. Imagine how much infrastructure we would need on Mars say, in order to have a self sufficient civilisation capable of building robot probes. They'd need ore extraction and refining, smelting, chemical synthesis for a huge range of materials, silicon chip fabrication. Now package all of that into a single vehicle. The management system alone for all of that under automatic control would likely have to be a functional strong AI and we're a very long way from knowing how to build one of those.
Yeah, Teen Vogue has plenty of solid journalism.
Access logs are almost useless for analytics these days... all they give you is the URL that was visited and some extremely rough idea what OS and browser the client is using (UA parsing is a hellhole).

You don't get any more detailed information (e.g. device class, screen size/orientation) from analytics logs.

Also, if you're using one of the free hosting providers (GH Pages and the likes) you're not even going to get access logs.
This looks really cool. I'm especially loving the weight. I really dislike a lot of recent laptops for their fragility and lack of upgrade capacity, so currently I'm using a T440P which comes in around 2.26kg - so if this is 1.3kg that's nearly a kilo of weight savings.

The replaceable battery is great, the weight is great, the design is pretty good, and the keyboard seems fine - 1.5mm of key travel is usable. (The T440P has around 2.2mm, and according to [0] all current Thinkpads are 1.8mm except X1 Carbon/Yoga/L14/L15 at 1.5mm)

My big question, though, is the durability. If you drop this thing a few times, will I have any problems? What about water damage - have you tested anything (intentionally or unintentionally?) Any drain holes? If I was to spill a decent bit of water on the keyboard, would that have a 10%/30%/80% chance of killing it?

Create a website this week called Google India. Make the UI look about the same as Google.com, but with a little different color scheme. Then send an email to Google's founders asking if it's okay. That's similar to what you're doing with HN India. :)

The situation is not exactly the same, because you did start with a code snapshot that PG made available to the public. However, it's generally considered bad form -- as well as confusing to visitors and search engines -- if you use a name that is extremely close to the original site's name.

Things would be different if you created something in a totally different medium, or if, as others have pointed out here, you first got explicit permission from PG and YC to do this. The site name "Hacker News", though it is composed of two generic English words, does now form a unique reference to a specific site that carries a certain cultural cachet and set of expectations. To "ride" that, without permission, is not a good idea, even if you can get away with it.

One good thing that may come of this, however, is the notion that perhaps there's enough demand to make PG consider adding a "sub-Reddit" like feature to the HN codebase. So folks like you who basically just want to not reinvent the feature set, and also want to address an approximate subset of the core HN readership -- where in this case the subset is Indians or India-ophiles, etc. -- could do so freely with explicit support and functionality that enables it.
