Ah good, I wanted to make sure that angle had been considered. I was super surprised at how insidious it was for me!

Good luck finding a way to make both of you happy with where you live. :)
This is a great tip, thank you.
Okay. How can we fix this? I'm dealing with it right now and this space is so hard -- likely somewhat deliberately so. I'm a 20+ year Linux user trying to get a single home network with multiple ISPs going and it just seems way harder than it ought to be; i.e. -- not that every bit of software needs to be idiot-proof, but this iptables/pfSense/netplan etc etc universe just feels downright hostile to the aspiring home user.
honestly i some times have the same problem sometimes, but I think it is because there is just so much background that you have to grok before you understand the discussion being had. And as that is not part of my knowledge domain I haven't spent enough time to pick it up as it will probably never effect me my daily life.
Replying because this is interesting. I disagree with the article and some of the contents of the thread. I've explained why and answered questions directly.

Contrarian POV isn't adding to the thread? I'm not baiting, asking a serious question.
I have been through this too way too many times. Every method I found either were as bad or added more problems (like docker, configs in git, etc.). Now I have removed almost all customisation/configuration from services I need and exchanged them with what are basically default setups of containers in proxmox. Everything is backed up and the amount of configuration needed if something did somehow go away is measured in minutes instead of hours. Luckily I don't need remote access which makes this easy.
I drive a Nissan Juke when I go to the city. If you consider that a big car, I don't know what to tell you.

EDIT: Since I can't respond to the comment below me, the Juke is slightly taller than a Mini Cooper and about as long and wide. I literally can't find a smaller car that I'd be comfortable driving on the highway.
> Roads have such limited throughput that a new bike lane might inconvenience only a few hundred people in cars, while opening up the city to thousands of people on bikes.

I think that is massively underselling the disruption to traffic. Depending on the city and the traffic patterns, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people could be commuting into a city on a given day. Reducing the car throughput on a significant portion of roads will cause backups to spread across the road network, affecting thousands.

Maybe switching to bike lanes can be a net positive, but it all depends on the commuting patterns of people living and working the city. Then again, maybe if car commuting is made painful enough, it will accelerate shifts in commuting patterns.

With careful planning the interests of vehicle commuters and cyclists can be balanced for maximum benefit, but I think in the long term changing zoning and development strategies will be what's needed to really make the shift.
My uninformed answer is that one of the things that promoted YouTube into implementing this stuff was a YT peadophile ring was discovered to be sharing 'questionable moments' with playlists, comments and timestamps. Creepy as fuck.
That's a coherent issue if you think that free speech is a purely negative right, which is the traditional liberal position.

However, if you admit this, then you must also admit that Twitch is fully within their rights.

Personally, I believe that the positive right to free speech (subject to exceptions, of course) is much more important, and not up to FAANG to decide.
The extracted quote at the top of the Forbes article here seems to indicate he was thinking along those lines: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/01/22/the-dread-...

"I imagine that someday I may have a story written about my life, and it would be good to have a detailed account of it."
If you have 100% code coverage and have solved the halting problem, yes.
I agree. This is a click bait title. The words abuse and harassment should not be used about as freely as they are in current meta-discussions of online discourse.
Do you mean that all 206-ish countries have laws on the books about this?
Curent object-oriented COBOL 2014 isn't Admiral Hopper's system programming language for writing missile defense systems in in the 1960s either. Your argument doesn't hold.
Why not just turn off your router? Lightbulbs and refrigerators are surprisingly useful
Ah, yes, that had completely slipped my mind. Sorry, I did misunderstand you: to be fair, Signal does send an e2e encrypted message-which-is-text, but referring to SMS as "text messages" is also pretty standard, I just didn't glean that from context.

Sure, being able to E2E an SMS was pretty cool! I've given up on SMS ever being replaced with a reasonably modern protocol, I think we're just stuck with siloed apps for the foreseeable future. Which is a pity. Maybe Riot/Matrix will be a fait accompli once its been around for long enough.
As opposed to them quitting at the same time? What kind of rationale I'd that.
Unity’s implementation of C# is subpar to say the least. Watch the YouTube video, it demonstrates DragonRuby’s speed vs Unity. We can render twice as many sprites and are 1/8th the size.

We also expose C Extensions to the end user if they what blinding fast performance for critical paths.
https://aspsecuritykit.net/features/#mfa, ASPSecurityKit mentions it can integrate with different token providers and Saas Pass has custom integration via API as well
Interesting. While looking at this dB, I wondered if my other accounts had been compromised and surely a few were. What was interesting is an email which I had all but forgotten like 6-7 years ago.

I found that email in a leak /paste.

Anyway to get a copy of those collection #1,#2 and others? I tried a quick search but there are random forum threads asking for cash.
"Vapours" actually were a major thing in medical research once, cured by bloodletting and mercury IIRC.

There are all sort of models still widely believed today. Some are unassailable (evolution, germ theory), some seem right more often than not ("don't eat bacon"), and some seem so right but nothing based on them works ("cholesterol is bad").

So this sort of naive belief in our ability to model the processes in a body or a cell has out of fashion at least since WW2. It's still used to come up with ideas to try. But even there, purely random exploration of the search space is not consistently worse.
Nah I think that’s a more valid “I don’t know when I might need it”-situation. I never felt that “who knows, I might need to tow a sailboat any day now”-feeling though.

You can't tax carbon coming out of the ground in other countries.

If I produce something and emit carbon in a foreign country, then import that thing into your country, you need to make sure that import gets taxed on the emitted carbon. So you need to estimate that emitted carbon.

Your proposal only works if every single country worldwide agrees to tax carbon at the same rate, and effectively applies it.

Are the prekeys generated/saved per potential contact (signed/encrypted with the contact's public key of course!) or is it a general pool for everybody? If it's the latter than couldn't a malicious user flood you with 100+ messages and prevent others from async contacting you?
Actually I wonder why doesn't Microsoft do it for every one? No tracking, no ads just plain old good results. Google has been attacking Microsoft with its scorched earth strategy in many areas (google docs, chrome OS, etc.) And given that google is just a one trick pony, this might affect them more.
I know everyone sprouts this as a big reason, but I reason network effect was the bigger reason. Facebook spread around the cooler demographic, mainly college kids, built huge momentum and just became a steam roller. I think initially design of facebook was minimal only because they didn't have a good designer and disregarding the importance of hip factor in social sites is misleading.
The general quality of the logos were poor. Like others have said, it's best for simple little jobs or logos that aren't that important and don't need too much creativity. Maybe some side project website you made and you just want a quick logo for $50 or something. Also, many of the designers were from Indonesia (I think) and there was a bit of a language barrier and difficulty communicating ideas.
Alcohol is a drug, too.
Since HNers are so divided on this issue (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2445039), why not do one month on, one month off for a time to do a sort of A/B testing over a sustained period while keeping everyone at least semi-happy half the time? This would have the added benefit of letting cumulative totals get updated on searchyc from time to time.
Well life has to go on, pick up the pieces and move on to better things.
The problem with cases like this is that the only reason Like.com was able to get away with it is because of how much money they had.

The patent system, in cases like this, is merely camouflage for anti-competitive drive-bys.
I'm yearning for the day when we can't tell if something is printed or rendered on a computer display. We need to get rid of the backlight, so maybe e-ink or OLED, and then...8K might just be good enough.
Except of course if there is no oss alternative and you can't conceivably build it on your own.

But yeah - Pretty much agree. The fact that most oss products are best-of-class makes the choice even easier.
Most cars, if any, didn't even have power steering back then.

And I recall a few years ago listening to Marcus Gronholm - two-time WRC champ himself - asking his team for permission to drop out after his power steering failed.
"the MOOC is an iteration on the textbook." Spot on, and this is what politicians and administrators don't understand. How many kids learned calculus out of a textbook alone? Not that many. But it's cheap.

MOOCs don't want to try, because the multiple-choice mode is cheap. That's the major appeal of MOOCs: cheap.

A few alternatives: SPOCs (small private), with discussion weekly and weekly face-to-face meetings between profs and students. I know some folks who ran one; it was effective yet very time-consuming. Programs like NetMath at University of Illinois: self-paced, hires real people to correct & provide feedback on written student work. Online coaching services like CoachingActuaries have adaptive exams and diagnostics, which is at least a step up from the static multiple choice.

None of these is free.
Well the number ten has obvious origins. Thanks to evolution we have ten fingers that we like to use to count with. I don't think many people believe it's based on some rigorous data.

A lot of people comment on HN that there are no 10x engineers, which I find strange. How can you work in this industry and not be convinced of the huge gradient in productivity?

We measure productivity with #bugs, #points of features, etc. It's pretty crude, but better than lines of code. It really doesn't tell the whole story though, because most of what makes a 10x engineer is not solving problems faster, but solving the right problem in the first place.
Most likely they will argue that you can use it 24 hours a day, just that they will cut the 750 free hours in half.

Does that mean you'll pay $7 a month or $3.50 a month for a 24/7 dyno?

I agree with you though, they might think they're kicking out X freeloaders, but how many of those freeloaders have production apps and how many of them are in decision making positions?

If I have to leave, I'll move /everything/.
I really think this comment is overblown. Until 2-3 months ago, I was using a T400 from 2009. It had 4 gigs of ram. I could happily hum away with Firefox with like 30 tabs open, Chrome with like 10 tabs open, IPython notebook chugging away, and Grooveshark/Flash burning up my cycles. While it certainly was not as smooth or as fast as I would have liked it, it certainly never really held me back.
You'd think it was trivial, but it's shockingly hard to do without using iTunes. For a person who frequents HN, that's extremely unintuitive. And iTunes is terrible, so that solution is out.

It took me forever to realize that just because I can kinda-sorta interact with my iPhone as a storage device doesn't mean that it's even remotely going to actually behave as one. The whole process is infuriating if you go in expecting it to be simple (which, given it's an iPhone, one might reasonably expect). Try to find an obvious way to put an mp3 on an iPhone without some odd middleware software; some of the software looks sketchy - and/or has a cost, and a many suggestions are to just use Google Play or Amazon Music. I also like the Winamp plugin from 2010, as well. That sort of list is pretty much the opposite of trivial. I mean, if it was drag-and-drop, sure, but this that ain't.

Personally? I ended up just uploading my music to Amazon and use their app. It's less infuriating than the Music app on the stock iPhone.
Your post seemed to be wrong about the stylus - it's not required, you can just use the touchscreen like any other tablet. It's a convenience for drawing.
Input is noticeably slow for me as well.

i5 3570K, 16GB DDR3, FF36 and Chrome 41, Xubuntu 14.04 input speed seems to be equally slow on both, very noticeable if you press and hold a key.
200 karma is not an onerous burden. I've been reading HN for years, but only started posting comments regularly in the past couple of months (maybe two or three posts per week).

Right now, I'm over 100, and I'm not that insightful. If I had something to say and paid more attention to posting in threads that are likely to be popular, I'm sure I'd have much more karma.
It is a huge shame that the recipes are not "free" with a GNU FDL or Creative Commons license.
"Tomatoes in a can are always better than fresh tomatoes because they have already been cooked (trust me)."

Completely true, but not just because they've been cooked: tomatoes in a can were usually picked ripe, so they actually taste like, you know, tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes from a grocery, even "vine ripened" ones, aren't truly ripe and will almost always be lacking in flavor.

I make my own salsa, and I typically use a mix of fresh and canned (diced) tomatoes: the fresh ones for the proper texture, the canned ones for flavor. It's not ideal, but it's better than either alone. The ideal solution would be to grow my own, but I inherited my mother's black thumb.
As the article concludes that such an exercise is mostly pointless, the question serves as a rhetorical device and does not need a direct answer.
If all the chips have an RFID serial number in them, wouldn't they know which chips were used in the poker rooms as opposed to the craps table?

You could argue that a poker player could launder the 25K chips back through the bellagio craps table, but I bet any high-demomination chip presented at the table is checked out somehow during play.
I think these should take into account the number of people on land and the time they spend on land vs that of water when comparing such statistics.
That article says that the B-2 contracts were spread over 46 states. I don't see anything about the F-35.
RE "browser support". Synergy has support for "modern" browsers (e.g., https://caniuse.com/mdn-javascript_builtins_proxy_proxy). It would certainly be feasible to provide a legacy version to provide support for some older browsers. Thanks for asking the question though, I should call out "browser support" in the docs as well as the github page.
abstruse

Completely agree, your solution is more clear.

Theocracy doesn't necessarily have something to do with being a software powerhouse.
I've always felt the same, but a few situations have required separate accounts:

- education savings accounts for children. There's some tax advantage to keeping them separate.

- a checking account for a personal assistant to pay bills from, limited to a few months cash

- when living together with separate finances, a household account that you both contribute to with a debit card. Convenient for splitting groceries, home improvement, etc. Otherwise, you have to keep receipts and settle regularly.

- if you're paying tax to 2 countries with a tax treaty, you may have to prove that you've already been taxed on money you're bringing in. It's best if you can do that from an account with only a single source of income, or else it gets complicated.
Name one CEO of massive company with good relationship with US government that ever went to jail for things like 2008 financial crisis, or similar moral failures and criminal acts.

As much as those names you named are important, they are peasants compared to power wielded by the big guys.
Faculty and staff rarely live on campus. Often they live in suburban enclaves and drive to campus. They also tend to have spouses with jobs elsewhere and children who don't go to school on campus. Faculty parking can be one of the most contentious issues for any college or University.

This idyllic myth of presented a college campus is only true for the students.
I am 28 and have spent the last 9 months as a non-degree student taking courses in discrete math, computer architecture, and algorithms and data structures. My undergrad degrees were in finance/econ and I spent a few years in banking. I thought hard about going the DIY route, but I can honestly say that taking some of the foundational courses in computer science has really helped. Plus I know what I don't know, and perhaps more importantly, I know what CS grads are supposed to know. I am more interested in an entrepreneurial route and not really in being the best programmer I can be. But, I would still recommend this route to anyone who is serious. At the end of the day I think an employer is more interested in what you're able to do than what degree you have, especially in software development. Plus, to be frank, most of the CS kids I've met can't hack their way out of a box. So, if you know what they're supposed to know and have some real projects to show off, nobody cares about your degree.
Classic? SICP and PAIP are the only two I'd really consider classic. The Reasoned Schemer is 2005 and is IMO the most important introductory text on relational programming since Warren's Abstract Machine: A Tutorial Reconstruction. ~200 lines of Scheme and you have something as fast Prologs written in 150K of C.

I don't consider Art of the Metaobject Protocol to be introductory or conceptual. Alan Kay considered it one of the only interesting books published on object oriented programming for a decade! Lisp in Small Pieces is also not particularly introductory or conceptual - that's a hardcore compiler optimization text.

I'd love to hear of a domain where a Lisp dialect isn't as well suited as anything else.
I have to say that I have great respect for Zynga. They have overcome their roots in "Scamville" and built a growing business that now looks like the Facebook to EA's Google.

Despite the fact that I don't play any of their games I find myself rooting for their success since I'm very tired of the EA sequel factory.

> When I joined the company after college

Kids: all corporations suck. The bigger they are, the more likely they are to suck. Your corporation is not an exception, you're just lucky to work in a non-sucky corner of it, or have not yet glimpsed its suckitude.

Ignore perks. Unless they come in the form of things you need that are expensive and rare (health care, child care, 401K match, maternity/paternity leave, continuing education fund, remote work).

HR is not your friend. Executives don't care about employees. Do not tell your boss what's really on your mind. Your co-workers are not your friends. Do not expect anything of them. Do not be completely open, honest, and transparent. Do not be vulnerable.

Do not compromise, and do not extend yourself. Do what you are required to do. Help when it is convenient, but do not become the "go-to" person, because it only looks like job security. Do not argue or complain. Send e-mails reiterating verbal agreements. Take screenshots of anything that looks fishy, abusive, manipulative.

Keep your next job in the back of your head. Prepare for it. Make contacts, network, learn marketable skills. Develop soft skills, be friendly and outgoing, but lay low. Play nice, do not burn bridges.

If someone is harassing you, intimidating you, making unreasonable demands, or otherwise disturbing you: slowly document evidence and record eye-witness testimony, first in e-mails, then in screenshots (e-mails and other documents get purged regularly to protect the company when they get sued). Find co-workers to corroborate your story and co-sign a petition with you. Find your harasser's corporate enemies and recruit them. People in your company may try to bury your complaints, either to protect The Company (again, HR is not your friend), or to further a manager/executive's political needs, or because they just don't believe you. The company may try to discredit you and will use any ammunition (that they have been silently compiling) against you.

Finally, if you feel like your mental or physical well-being is at risk: Quit. Your. Job. It doesn't matter if what's happening to you is unfair or unjust. You are a very small cog, and the corporation is a very big wheel. If you decide to write a public tell-all like the author's here, it will work against you at future employers. It is not worth the fight. There is no prize to win.

It's just a job.
