I don't know, but this whole "I refuse to consider [product X] before I've even seen it" thing doesn't strike me as the sort of open-minded, objective attitude a good engineer should have. Great for Apple's bottom line, though.

I've gone back and forth between Mac and Windows boxes for years. I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell XPS 12 with Win8.1 and I use them interchangeably. They're both perfectly usable and both have their pros and cons.

I want to see what Microsoft has to offer--especially curious to see if they can leverage their desktop size to resuscitate their mobile platform.
So when Keybase added Stellar support for payments, this was met with lots of hostility and disappointment, such as 'cryptocoin bullshit' [0] or 'Yeah, I am not going to use any product associated with anything cryptocurrency. Just smells bad. [1]

Now the same thing has happened on Signal; HN's favourite messaging app. So why is this met with warm welcoming arms especially when they are also going into cryptocurrencies?

Maybe the HN sentiment back then was filled with those who missed the crypto bull-run of late 2017 and the same ones have missed it again last year.

He was a radical honestly type guy. It was all on the table and we had lots of success stories. We would give anyone a chance which let a lot of self taught, entry level people get work. I got a ton of experience mentoring people, as well (difficult people, too). Unfortunately, he got screwed over by a shotgun clause in a business agreement and lost the business that to an ex-partner. That's what led me to my current job, though, where I've been happy for over 10 years and it's much more stable.
My company has offices in the neighboring countries and we travelled often to the branches abroad. The teams are very close because we frequently work together.

Having guests in the company was always an excuse to do fun stuff. Like driving one weekend to a beach/volcano in one country, planning to go to the movies in another one, and lots of tasty food. We could expense the food so we only paid for a bit of extra gas or extra bus tickets with our pocket.

As a perk we have full kitchens in our offices, and a couple of times a week we cooked lunch together with the foodie/cook ones. It was usually tastier than buying food nearby. And it was fun to learn about each country's home cooking style.

I miss that and hanging out and sight seeing with coworkers on weekends or after work... The daily commute to the local office not so much.
It’s a mistake to assume this is Israel. It very well may be, but there are a lot of other legitimate possibilities, some more likely than the other.

Iran has a lot of enemies in the gulf. In Saudi Arabia’s case it is fighting a a proxy war in Yemen. Iran’s partner in that war, the Houthi’s, has not been shy about attacking Saudi Arabia directly (not going to get into who is right or wrong and if it’s justified or not). It could be the Saudi backed Haida led Yemeni government attacked an Iranian ship at the the Saudi’s request as an act of revenge. But it also could be one of a 100 other possibilities. Either way we are unlikely to find out the real answer and it’s best not to speculate. None of the parties involved will ever admit to it and it’s likely whoever did do it used a proxy.
Paul Krugman tweeted this article that he wrote in 1999:

> Later Mundell would broaden this initial insight by proposing the concept of the “impossible trinity”; free capital movement, a fixed exchange rate, and an effective monetary policy. The point is that you can’t have it all: A country must pick two out of three. It can fix its exchange rate without emasculating its central bank, but only by maintaining controls on capital flows (like China today); it can leave capital movement free but retain monetary autonomy, but only by letting the exchange rate fluctuate (like Britain–or Canada); or it can choose to leave capital free and stabilize the currency, but only by abandoning any ability to adjust interest rates to fight inflation or recession (like Argentina today, or for that matter most of Europe).

Yeah, I like that. I think having an office with flexibility to be there anywhere from occasionally to every day is a good thing.

There are also people who don't work well remotely, especially if the salaries don't increase enough to rent a big enough apartment with decent lighting, or if the employee has children who constantly distract them, among others.
This type of comment has no place in HN, keep it to reddit.
Fair. My comment did imply that managers / those who feel "drained" by remote working are extroverts, which may be untrue.

On that: I think extroverts can tend to derive value from external factors, which may make them more hungry for praise (especially public).

(Edited because earlier version was murky)
Somewhat on topic; I experimented with making my own soylent-like derivative back in university. I think that was about $2.5 per day for 3 meals. Prettty miserable but the whole process was a lot of fun, felt like a mad scientist.

These days I just bake my own bread, mostly because it's 100x more delicious. I'm probably not saving any money due to experimenting with all these expensive-ass flours
Casualties in "the food and restaurant industry" are ones you're applauding? How about casualties of those in economic precarity, full stop? A food supply chain shortage is not a good thing for society, and to purport that is laughable. I get the impulse to presume that constraints breed creativity, but when it comes to survival, constraints also breed death, suffering and starvation.

How would you feel something like Help Jar (https://helpjar.org) fits into this space.

It's a platform I've created where you can allocate anywhere from 0.1 - 5% of revenue to causes you believe in. Right now it's geared towards charities but I'd love to include open source sponsorship in there too.
I don't think the animation type influences the information in a misleading way and I think that the suggested effect is real.

Whales use sound to gather information about their surroundings rather than sight. So it isn't about visibility range, but rather about auditory range. In addition, sound travels at a different speed under water (I don't know how it affects the range).

The movie 'The last Giants' [1] is a documentation about the whales in the Strait of Gibraltar. While I don't think it is a particular good movie (too emotional), I think the basic information presented, gives a good impression of how whales are affected by modern ships. It is cruel.

Proving it is inaccurate would involve a third-party audit of all of Google's internal code and machine learning models so it will never happen.
As always, a Bloom filter can improve search times.
It is very common for nasty people to have some kernel of reasonable belief that they take to an extreme. Agreeing with that reasonable piece does not "align" you with the extremist. That's just tribalist rhetoric.

Find me an honest person who is knowledgeable about IQ and denies that IQ is somewhat heritable, and there is some meaningful (not completely determinative!) causal relationship between intelligence and class indicators such as income. That's all Scott has ever "aligned" himself with from Murray.
We should attach some IoT sensors and stream user behavior back to our server, either forward the data to the vendor of your item and let them provide some support[1], or do some machine learning for credit assessment[2].

If you are an innovator in a space - first to market - by definition you'll have the majority percentage of the market. Online dating is a very young industry compared to hotels. Why not give other firms the chance to compete organically with Match, instead of itching for regulation so eagerly before we've really seen the industry play out?

My point is that competing hotel brands did not need the government's help to come into existence, and the barrier to entry for a new hotel company is insurmountable compared to writing a dating app.
Counterpoint - J-pop and K-pop groups often have contractual obligations to not enter into a relationship, since that would mean that they become less attractive to their fans. So "no kissing scenes" might just mean "we want to let the viewers imagine that they could eventually date this person" or whatever.
I'm generally allergic to "let the Big 5 run your services", but I have to admit that "sign in with Google" looks like a major improvement on "hand PII to whoever tried to home-roll auth".

With a password manager and careful shepherding of your PII, maybe there's not much risk; if someone takes over the site your account is compromised either way, and nothing else is lost. But most people don't actually use password managers, and lots of sites that accept Google sign-in require lots more data to actually create an account on the site. (Plus, losing password stores is not necessarily the same as losing all control.) Newbies storing creds is a perennial source of leaked credentials that get used to attack more important sites.
I'm interested in buying the site, but I don't want to pay $999,999.98 per year. That sounds like renting. Shouldn't it be a one-time thing?
avx512 is a spectacular instruction set and absolutely speeds real world workloads up a ton, and makes it easier for compilers to auto vectorize too. the only catch is that is is new so not many things leverage it yet.
Before Match bought them OKC had an excellent blog post in which they demonstrated that Match customers were 12x less likely than the general population to get married...
Indeed. This is a thought experiment libertarians often suggest. Just substitute "The government should ..." with "We should send men with guns to people's homes in order to ...". A bit hyperbolic maybe, but a useful lens.

> If all that stuff works for everyone, why did we invent new stuff? Just because? Or perhaps it wasn't really as amazing as well all remember.

To better track people and push ads. It's really mostly just it. Modern web has very little to do with providing value to the end-user; any utility that's provided is mostly a side effect, and/or a vector to lure people into situations where they can be monetized.

Text browsers aren't holding the web down, they're anchoring it in the port of productivity, even as the winds of commerce desperately try to blow it onto the open seas of exploitation.
Well, I actually like Groovy, and was trying to keep my personal opinion out of my original post. The fact remains, though, that whatever strengths Groovy has as a language it has struggled to gain significant traction.
For those who've watched the show Black Adder:

> The parent was using "efficient" in the same way that a non-profit or other fund might say efficient (i.e. that money in is mostly money out, administration _by the program_ is not a significant source of cost).

Correct. Example: Watsi.org. They are amazingly efficient at delivering healthcare to people in the third world, and they run off donations. [+]

[+] Its true they are partially funded by YC now to run their ops, but I believe all of their healthcare provider spending is still entirely donation driven.
So they could have reported the stolen coins it as income, paid taxes, and they'd be in the clear?
That isn't a thing from Vue3 though. It has come from esbuild and swc projects. Both are now looking to fully support typechecking in a lower level language rather than having JS tooling written solely in JS. You can use vite for React too but it does lack certain features for us. I could get reasonably the same gains using webpack with swc loader or esbuild loader too. It is really just a preference on type of projects. For small starter applications a tool like vite is cool. If you're looking for ways to distribute many common applications with shared vendor libraries and seamless transition between microfrontends then federated modules is a big feature of webpack.
If he works for MS he has zero right to even be mildly annoyed, since we have for decades been living in a world where "only runs on Windows" isn't even in the small print.
Except that the attack you mention has no bearing on the standard 14-round AES-256 that everybody uses.
The signs are too small to read easily from a car trying to find a park. As the hours are not in standard positions, a small block of red high in the green bar would only mean 'sometime in the morning' when seen from a distance.

Similarly, the allowed parking duration is far too small. Even if it's green all day, you still need to know if it's 30 minutes or 4 hours or whatever.

I wonder if it would be any worse than cooking on cast iron.
It's not just "business people". This was published the same year as the Agile Manifesto. We know which route developers chose.
Hello SoloX5. Open Food Facts contributor here.
I absolutely love examine.com. Would any of your data be reusable under some open license or is it a strictly proprietary database?
Ah, this is interesting. I had always though that it was something about the graphics system. Forgoing an update due to radio firmware is even more embarrassing. They probably could have done a shim layer, to translate between the old & new APIs.

Even shipping 4.4 with a 4.3 kernel would be far superior to having what is essentially a brick.
Undeveloped film is arguably not a tangible medium suitable for communication and this film is obviously not being developed by its author. The development process of film renders it suitable for copy.

If it is not tangible; that is, there is no significant change between unexposed and exposed film, how do you explain how the process of development works?
Very few people have actual BTC to donate -- this is the big one. Some of those may be holding BTC as an "investment" and may be unwilling to part with it. Depending on how they hold their BTC, there may be significant friction involved in spending it, ie. in almost all cases I expect it's more difficult than entering PayPal or credit card details.

And as you note, it's not like people are super eager to donate using other methods. (And while some might say that a site like TPB, which attracts "freeloaders", is even less likely to get donations, I'm not convinced -- folks might consider TPB both a service worth paying for as well as a cause worth supporting.)

Of course, the upsides remain. It costs you nothing to post a BTC address on a site, especially if you're already handling BTC. There is no interaction with payment providers and all that jazz. There are no immediate fees. Payments are "anonymous" for both sides, with the usual and serious caveats involved in BTC transactions[0].

[0] E.g. some dude being able to audit your total donation amount from the public ledger. :) Did you write up anything from that research? It's an interesting idea.
You don't own the repository so you have no permission to push to it.

What you have to do in this situation is create a fork on the github site, make your changes there, which you'll have permission to do.

If you make your changes on a branch you can then send a "pull request" to the original author to get your changes.

This might be a helpful read:

Your argument is basically "It's not exactly like California". In general, in Latin America, internet access is slower but like all sevices, a lot cheaper than the US, and phone carriers still can afford to offer unlimited 3G plans so people use that instead of wifi. Spanish as a native language isn't a disadvantage -basically every single developer or indeed any techie in the world knows english anyways.
What's the difference between bad luck and "we just don't know"?

This is more Twitter and MSN territory than Gmails's.

I feel that there has been some space for a MSN replacement for a while. Microsof lack of innovation of MSN is a sign. (Wave tried to get it but failed though)
The link you supply clearly says that wage slaves do not have freedom to leave the work they're doing. They are forced to continue working, just not always with threats of violence.

Most "wage slaves" have no freedom. They're not free to chose the work they do, nor to control how that work is performed, nor to leave if working conditions are unacceptable. http://www.antislavery.org/english/slavery_today/domestic_wo...

You appear to be saying that "wage slavery" is clearly separate from "slavery". I am saying that there are considerable overlap between them and that most people who are "wage slaves" are just "slaves".
Minimum wage laws and excess credentialing can definitely be considered rent seeking.
Let's not forget. Stuxnet is 15ish years old also.
Only on HN would you find people seriously arguing that focusing on product development is a good reason to remove analytics from a site. I've worked almost exclusively at companies where the product is the website, and initially this idea struck me as laughably naive. But let me be fair and think through this.

Tech startups do definitely have this problem of focusing on website analytics where the product is NOT a website or app. If we're generous we can assume many people here develop for these kinds of companies. Some waste a lot of time looking for up-and-to-the-right arrows for investors or trying to be data-focused when data about the website isn't actually all that important. Many of these companies might actually be better off with no analytics to waste time on. I'd still argue it's better to check in every once in a while to look for problems and ask yourself some questions.

The idea of removing analytics where the product is an app or a website is silly. This would be like arguing a grocery store shouldn't track what people are buying from their stores, and instead just source good products. You need to do both. What are you going to do when I ask what is or is not working? Tell me your feelings? Shake an 8-ball? Aside from detecting problems, analytics can be a jumping off point for innovation if you're smart about it. What can we do that's more like what's working? How can we improve this page type?

There are for sure people who over-focus on analytics (often on the wrong data points) instead of creativity, but these are not mutually exclusive. If I were to list the millions of dollars I've earned and saved via analytics this would be a very long post. Sadly, most of those millions were for other people, but it's a very valuable tool for optimizing and creating if you use it correctly.
I personally do not care about Problem 1. I mostly use Twitter in a passive way -- following people that are experts on the topics that I'm interested in. I assume if you want to get a reasonable following you need to put quite the effort in it.

Problem 2 appears but I've noticed that muting works well enough to avoid it.

Problem 3 does not seem to be Twitter-specific but again blocking and muting seems to work for me as well.

My personal take is that something brings value to you or not depending on how you use it. Here is a quote from (https://perell.com/note/the-paradox-of-abundance/) that resonates with me:
"The Explore Tab on Twitter is the most important newspaper in the world. It’s littered with celebrity gossip and exaggerated political drama — both of which yield a wide reach but incentivize empty content. And yet, as the Paradox of Abundance predicts, Twitter is also one of the world’s top intellectual communities. It’s the bedrock of my social and intellectual life. It’s a place to make friends, raise your ambitions, and connect directly with people at the top of their fields. And yet, most people use Twitter to consume information with no nutritional value."
Just because something is illegal in certain jurisdictions it doesn't make whatever no longer decentralized. If running tor nodes was illegal, it wouldn't mean the tor is centralized.
Yeah there's a 30% 'solidarity' tax and then another 35% tax once we're at it, but the second one you can discount from income tax or get a rebate if you go through some bureaucratic processes.
i thought not downloading images in email was the default in pretty much all clients since.. maybe 2005? Am i wrong?
The integration offered by some of the apps on android trumps those that exist on the iphone in my mind. Facebook, Twitter, and a 3rd party linkedin software i use integrate with my address book seamlessly, personally i find it a neat feature that my address book is populated with my friends social profile pictures, current status etc..
CEGUI is really nice in terms of the flexibility and design, but the API is terrible. BUT, don't let that stop you from using it. Spend a day writing a wrapper around the API to CEGUI or whatever bindings you're using (e.g. the Python bindings) and you'll absolutely love it.
I have looked at Panda3D, but I haven't built anything with it, so I really can't compare the two very well. That said, Panda3D's goal is to be a game engine, rather than just a graphics engine, as with Ogre. I imagine between that and the poor documentation for pyogre, it may very well be easier to get a game going with Panda3D. But personally, I love ogre and the bindings that pyogre provides to other libraries, e.g. Bullet, make my life damn easy. Also, the documentation issue is an issue, but most things are wrapped so closely to the C++ counterpart that you can just use the Ogre docs and be fine.

I spent a couple days writing wrappers around pyogre to do things like game state management, nice GUI APIs, etc, and after that it was clear sailing. I wish I had more time to work on the game all that stuff was for, really, but such is life.
If there are 3 As in the first string and 4 in the second, it fails. A boolean value can't count to 3.

The linked doc seems to show only what python does as tuple unpacking, but as far as I know elixir can also do the matched unpacking. Based on [1] (which also gives a more matchy example), elixir just has a warning when not using the variable in the case block and you can denote that you want to match against the contents of the variable by prepending ^.

That's all fair, and your hypothesis is pretty much spot-on in terms of what happened. The huge productivity boost was basically key to the success of the project.

I'm not sure whether the argument now comes down to "it would have been possible to gain that sort of productivity boost in C++ too, with the right design" or "it would have been possible to implement a new CSS engine without this sort of productivity boost". If it's the former, then you're right that one can't prove a negative. If it's the latter, then I think that's where the "schedule and manpower constraints" come in.
This is a great bit of work. I've been looking for an excuse to do some projects on MT.
Interesting article, but they kept trying to build a strawman about how Americans don't care about the metric weights since it doesn't affect their price of butter.
