John Eliot Gardiner's Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique plays Beethoven on period instruments at what he believes to be the composer's intended tempo[1][2][3]. I'm really just a casual listener, but it's my understanding that the period instruments are built for higher tempo. In any event I really like everything I've heard from him.

What's the use case for this? "Happy New Year!"?
Yeah, it sucks. Why are these companies so uncooperative? I have a Clevo laptop and I actually emailed them asking for documentation or some kind of help. They replied with an Ubuntu help page. I had to reverse engineer it in order to implement some features on Linux and I didn't manage to figure out everything.

It's very hard work and I have immense respect for people who are able to reverse engineer entire systems. There would be no need for this activity if companies just played nice but since they don't I'm glad that there are people out there doing this work.

>I'm not sure if any media creator would ever sign away their rights to that level, though.

Why not? The copyright holder doesn't have to sign over exclusive rights, they just have to give the organization the rights to license the work and collect royalties. This is precisely how copyright collectives like the RIAA and SoundExchange work.

Is pub.dartlang.org Dart's "CPAN"?

I don't know Dart, but it looks as if you need a Google account to upload packages to that central package repo. Is that correct?

Ahem... robots?

It shouldn't require any human intervention to watch for changes and bump a version number. In fact, I guess, it didn't. Personally, I'd tolerate repetitive work for several days, maybe even a week, then I'd certainly hack a script and after several days of observation return only on script's "hey, I'm confused, please help me" notification.

It's not an argument. It's a statement of what I believe to be fact. We can try legislation, DRM, or better services. The first two aren't working.

I'm not saying it's good that it's this way. I pay.
I misread that as 'recruiter' (cold-calling you) and got pretty enraged:

"Oh, hey euoia this is ___ from KPFI Recruitment Services. I noticed your linked-in profile, which is a really great match for an opportunity we have at a major company in the boxed snack industry - I was just wondering why you hadn't committed to GitHub this week?"
It is also like a bubble. A tiny pin prick, and pop! Which is also doubly apt because some consider the market price of bitcoin a bubble.
> One thing not covered in this article (and maybe the CAIB report? I don't know) is whether the Russians could have done something useful in the rescue. Could enough fuel and scrubber tanks have been boosted to Columbia on a Soyuz or Progress to get it up to the ISS?

No.

On STS-107, Columbia was launched into a 39° orbit. The ISS is at an inclination of 51°. It is very expensive to make an in-orbit change-of-plane.

A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that you would need 50,000 kg of fuel to change the orbit of an empty Shuttle from 39° to 51°. The Progress M has a cargo capacity of 2600 kg -- and the Russians launch one every two months. 20 Progresses all at once wouldn't have been very practical.

If you were going to attempt a rendezvous with Columbia from Baikonur, it would be better to send Soyuzes and bring them down two-at-a-time. The Russians do have the Soyuz on an assembly line, but I don't think they have four of them just sitting around.

For commercial conferences at least, there's a general belief that events will continue in a hybrid way. That said, I expect that conferences that just went free when they went virtual will start charging again; many have tacked on at least nominal fees already. (Some are even more.)

While, I haven't been wild about online conferences in general, it has let me dip into events I couldn't normally justify attending.

Work at Google. They seem to have many thousands of people who do very little. Just look at their product quality. The atrocious performance of
their Gmail spam filtering for example. It catches emails sent by Google itself, from Google, to people who have signed up with Google for the emails, and dumps them in the junk folder as gmail spam. Think about how bad that is. They’ve had 20 years to fix this. That’s just one example.

Clearly Google is the kind of place for a person like you.

If anything, Code Complete was for me further evidence of its subjectivity. I'd have to pull the book out again to find examples, but I remember finding a good 20-30% of the "better" examples actually more difficult to read, or there being a third way of doing it not mentioned in the book.
I would actually set Xms == Xmx, as you can easily fill up your entire heap... why let the JVM manage total heap size in a tool when you can predict the heap size? (For the record I use ~2g Xms and Xmx for Java projects, and ~3g Xms and Xmx for Scala projects).

Also you can ditch MaxPermSize if using Java8, which you should.
The gap between 'yes' and money in the bank, is why so many people have trouble with this, imo.
I don't think anyone argues against the notion that substituting a basic income in place of complicated payment/handout/welfare schemes is more efficient.
I can assure you, abuse all but stopped when putting the credit card gate up.

We tried all sorts of things with the trial over our 5 year tenure. Way too much time went into dealing with abuse. In our case, it was a visual web testing service. When someone is abusing the service, another person can't use those browsers. Adding more machines might be scalable if you've raised money, but if you're bootstrapping (as we were) there's a very real ceiling to what you can afford. We were running well above the capacity needed for legitimate usage, at our expense, and still had problems stemming from Mailinator traffic.

Maybe other companies have a different experience and Mailinator users turn into loyal, paying customers. In our case, they did nothing but waste resources (both computing and human). And in 5 years, not a single one turned into a paying customer, yet many were happy to leech over extended periods of time (we could see the sites being tested, so tracking it was fairly straightforward). I admit, it was weird being able to classify one whole source of traffic as simply negative, but we had the data to back it up.

And just to clarify, abuse is being used in two contexts here: 1) people trying to use the service indefinitely without paying for it; and 2) people trying to actually DoS other sites, screw up our browser cluster by firing up pop-ups and print dialogs, and other general scumbaggery.

Precisely this. "It's not hard to learn to use a crypto library" is not an interesting conversation, and so I actively tried to have a more interesting conversation about "it's actually pretty damn hard to implement crypto software".

Since when is learning a single crypto library the end-all solution to writing good crypto software?
Looks like it's iOS only right now? Can't see any mention of Android in the docs?

If I recall, that was a hilarious optimistic view of things, where there was high level/scholarly debate online and people were persuaded by great rhetoric.. quite a departure from the race to the bottom, cesspool of online commentary as it exists today.
>Alternatively, maybe different people genuinely prefer different environments.

I fully agree. My comment was in response to the fact that the person I was responding to was casting a smaller town ad unequivocally better from a social perspective (ie saying that the economic benefits of big city life have been removed so now everyone is free to enjoy the social superiority of a small town).

> You appear to be an extreme extrovert

That's a fair assumption but believe it or not I consider myself quite far from extroverted. I just kinds go through moods where I feel more social and other times enjoy being alone more. The nice thing about the city is that it offers more freedom in both directions. For those days where I don't feel like socializing, I can still go wherever I want without recognizing anyone or bumping into anyone (for the most part) if that's what I choose to do.

There is an information and availability API for the federal parks system. The more people build apps that people use, the more examples we have to demonstrate the utility of this API in providing better experience to the public, and reinforcing the "Govt as a platform, via APIs" narrative.

The Federal Parks system took the first step in creating an availability API (with an intention to open up bookings via API as well). California then forked the language (with minor revisions), so they are slated to have an Availability API "soon" (who knows when it will actually come). This sets precedent at the federal and state level for parks, and also establishes a data schema that all the other state, county, city, local govt parks can build into, which would allow us to have a fully integrated discovery system for the public when looking for places to get outside.

A big part of persuading governments to follow is showing examples of what's possible, and the Rec.gov information & availability API, however limited, enables 3rd parties to do just that.
Because there are only a few investors, and they are all in on the scam. Even admitting the existence of red flags would have tanked the S-1, so they just hoped that the public markets wouldn't ask too many questions and buy shares at the desired IPO price.

The price jump was +8% for 24 cores and +11% for 32 cores. It wasn't really a "huge" jump. The reason it seems so much more expensive is because the cheaper SKUs were simply removed instead of replaced.

And entry-level TR was never $250. That's the EOL "we need to dump old inventory" fire sale price.

Of course PC principal can’t stand for this but being able to argue any issue from any point of view is considered to be a hallmark of the well educated by people who have been in the education business for centuries. In 9th grade my history teacher routinely randomly assigned us to write one of two positions on the same issue (capital punishment is unjust, etc). Much of the present state of modern electoral politics can be traced to a widespread inability or unwillingness to understand the people who disagree with you.

You can even use google docs for free if you want, at least they have the decency of working in Firefox on Linux.
A lot of the things on the list confound me, too, but I suppose we should use caution and not be too quick to judge. It is possible that schools are really that different in some countries; the author never had the opportunity to go through normal schooling due to illness; family issues; drugs; and, well, the list goes on.

What confounds me more is how the list got onto the front page of Hacker News to begin with (not being flippant). They are basically assertions with no references, there is little to learn from it, and there doesn't appear to be a lot of context/background on the author that hint to why this may get upvoted so much.
It could also just access the physical memory via the direct map (the 1:1 mapping of physical to kernel virtual address space). In fact, this is kind of easier now, since you're guaranteed to find all the interesting stuff in physical memory since MAP_EXCLUSIVE memory cannot be paged out.
Match is not responsible for your lack of success in online dating. Having a lot of brands is not a good reason to involve the government. Hilton hotels has over a dozen brands. There's nothing stopping you from creating a competing dating app. If you have some insight into what's "extremely broken" and a solution for it, you might even attract customers.

Sorry for being brash, but I've been seeing a lot of unjustified "just bring in the anti-trust hammer, that will fix all the problems in tech" posts lately, and most of them are fairly baseless.

My point is that a claim like "Bitcoin [isn't] like your average software-project, where you fix a bug and just move on," is a potentially valuable insight if you can elaborate and support it.

It's not immediately obvious to me that the statement is true, though. Certainly it's not an average software project, since it's, among other things, a protocol. But, if you look at the history of others, like SSL/TLS, there's a lot of precedence for fixing buggy protocols, too.

> The NSA are irrelevant to this discussion.

NSA certainly is a resourceful adversary. But may I point out what Thomas wrote in his FAQ about this?

”If over the next 5 years nothing more is done to shore up Internet security than is already being done, targeted CA-based attacks will become much riskier for NSA and GCHQ because of key pinning. To man-in-the-middle an HTTPS connection, NSA will need to know that the browser they’re targeting hasn’t already cached the correct key fingerprint for the server. If it has, the browser will scream bloody murder and, hopefully, report back to Google or the EFF about the discrepancy. People watching those logs will quickly discover which CAs are signing bogus certificates, and compromised CAs will be evicted from browsers. NSA and GCHQ will have to risk burning an entire CA every time they launch this attack. If we do nothing new at a protocol level, every Chrome and Firefox installation on the Internet will become part of a global anti-surveillance surveillance system.”

Browserify can be as easy as

browserify entry.js > bundle.js

That's simpler than any decent concat build process I've seen that needed to be able to concat source files from multiple folders and control the order. Browserify gives you a full NPM-compatible CommonJS setup for less effort.

(If you want to do stuff with source maps, minification, or automatic rebuilds, there may be a few more steps involved, but they're the same or even simpler steps as you would have to do those same things in a concat setup.)
Of course.

The people in power has one priority: to preserve their power at all cost.

It is human, or even social animal nature. Any social animals have alpha males,an alpha females. They fight for power.

In Politics any politician has a dossier with the life and errors of each adversary. Now the dossier is digital.

Really? Because it seems to me like they are chugging along just fine. They have plenty of wiggle room unlike real adversaries like Snowden. If they've seen a dip in public support I'm sure short and long term projections have it not only solved but completely countered. They may never convince the HN crowd but the HN crowd doesn't need to be convinced.
The only thing I don't get about events like this where a botnet is stopped is that if the security researchers have caught it and also can get control of the servers through law enforcement, why don't they turn them on itself and tell the infected machine to download a program which clears the infection?

Is it too complicated, or perhaps perversely against the law?

The other one is like the recent worm that was peer-to-peering the commands. Why can't they just take it over?
Caloric equilibrium in the physical sense is a tautology that provides no enlightenment to the long-term obesity solution.
Great point -- Oracle has a solid capability that is easy to operationally screw up. Database recovery is usually a real shitshow.

When you go to other platforms, you need solid process AND deep exterior in whether the database can do what you want. Can MySQL handle the same recovery scenarios that Oracle can? With which storage engines?

It's pretty insane to spend 31 months building something like this when the market is so crowded. Hope it was a spare time/weekend thing. Thought it was just a joke so didn't consider signing up; however, product looks really strong! Hope they make it.

But for example

> "It only gets worse from here. It's not just the creator who suffers, but everyone else too."

Funny but maybe a bit too literal. That's when the page turned into complete satire to me and I had to come to the comments section on HN to realize that they actually had a product offering.
I mostly see myself using this as part of CI workflows or to monitor jobs that I run overnight/over the weekend. I also see it as a good way to, for example, start jobs on remote machines by sending a text message.

1/2. I can still make semantic URLs against your service, just with some caveats that they have to be globally unique. I could also proxy over to your domain from mine. Authentication would mean that some random person couldn't just come and POST or GET to my routes so I'm happy. $5/month for a DigitalOcean droplet on which I have to manage the server vs $4/month of using patchbay.pub where all I have to do us GET and POST HTTP requests, the latter wins every time (even though I can run other things on the droplet).

3. Semi-persistence would be great for failures on the consumers or on systems running the consumers. E.g. if I had a Comcast outage, I could still apprise myself of messages published during the outage.

(This last point is also why I would love for you to host my consumers - it also makes it a lot easier for you to make the consumers more reliable.)

Good point about paying for a large number of services - that's why I really like Twilio's pay-as-you-go pricing model. Might be a good one to consider for patchbay, as well - a per message published or consumed cost?

Anyway, really nice job. I think I'm going to use this a bit.

If you want to monitor my usage, I will set an "x-hn-user: zomglings" header on my requests. :)
You can't retaliate against employees for speaking out publicly and expect no consequences, either. This is going to hurt Google -- in the public eye and with its workforce.
This is a question we get a lot! The short answer is yes; men can use Scanwell as a screening tool, to identify a UTI.

However, men aren't able to get treatment through our telehealth partner. This is due to clinical guidelines––when a man presents with a UTI, additional testing is typically required, so in those cases we'd recommend in-person treatment.
