The type of syncing that Things wants to accomplish is probably different enough from other products to warrant a new approach.
the thing that keeps me using firefox, yet prevents me from using the new beta releases, is extensions.

i have a lot of extensions that i use on a daily basis and yet only about half of them work with firefox 4 so far. some probably don't even require any code changes other than bumping up the version marker that lets firefox install it on a new version, but a lot of extension developers seem to wait until releases are stable before testing and updating.
interesting. Since we don't actually type any city, we get it from API. So if API is making a spelling mistake, I am intrigued.
I believe you are mentioned in this excellent article I saw on HN just today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21635896

If your compensation is ridiculous, and you've been at it 10 years, then hopefully you've saved enough money that your every day of work is completely voluntary. If not, you did it wrong. Live on way less than you make; save up enough that the interest pays that amount; you could now retire, but instead keep going to work, but just start saying what you really think.
This is very sad. I hope he figures it out.
Sounds interesting, but might need a readme?
It's funny to write such a blog post without even mentioning Cardano...
CF have booted off a neonazi site, and general filtering will very likely occur at the DNS level. At the very least, some filtering of internet content probably isn’t the worst thing in the world.

I’m not disregarding the possibility or risk, but there are far greater problems that deserve our communities attention more than CF.
No, they don't. Try putting

For corporations, consistant work is often more desirable than exceptional work. Amassing thousands of lines of code that only exceptional programmers can use, understand and modify is a liability, not an asset, no matter how efficient it is.
Unused import cleanup has been a standard part of all the major Java IDEs for quite some time. Further, checkstyle and other static analysis tools can easily replicate the check.
I'm more interested in how it works than to actually use it. I'm assuming it wouldn't be submitted here if it didn't work. Any details?
Refcounting and a single threaded runtime, instead of GC and a multithreaded one.

By compiled regexpes, I meant replacing things like bytes.Equal(foo, "qwe") with things like foo.m(`^qwe$`) or even foo.m/^qwe$/ that have the same performance. All the loops that scan through slices could benefit from it, golang has a lot of them. Plus more overall matching/scanning consistency, that should lead to fewer mistakes.
How about clicking on the link? It's in the path, the subreddit name and the post.
I mean in her defense most of us work a 9-5, M-F where we travel 2x per day, and the car sits unused 95% of the time. Some jobs do not have the luxury of sitting in an office. In those cases using a car makes perfect sense.

My local representative uses public transport, and recognizes 30% of the populace does not currently drive.
He talked about children in the article. And also, work that matters generally doesn’t leave a genius starving: it’s the difference between obsessive interest into things that matter and bus ticket collecting.

You could of course be at the point where you started too late and you haven’t time to ramp up useful work into successful outcomes through obsessiveness, as you already have dependents. Or you could be in the unlucky edge he talks about of people who only went down the wrong paths due to risks turning out wrong.

But I believe the article did address all of your points.

"Mounting social and political upheaval in East Germany and the resulting pressure for German reunification..."
Initially the "pressure for reunification" certainly didn't come from the people risking their lives demonstrating in East Germany. All they wanted was a democratic East Germany. They didn't ask for reunification. In fact, many still wouldn't today.

Speed of innovation seems to be bothering the author... really not the right industry for him to be in.
I'm not sure I follow. Giving something to the community, either for free or gratis, in a hobbyist space such as this one is not more work. It's clear people in the retro computing scene feel passionate about it -- they'd rather spend their time doing this and not something else (and if you see the people writing retro games, they are willing to put a lot of work into it). So how can this closed/proprietary mindset help "save" the platform? It only caters to the very small niche of people who are willing to pay relatively large sums for custom hardware & software with no real use (it's a hobby) and who will take it all to their graves.
I think people are using "gold" in 2 different ways.

In the olden days, gold was actually a currency. The supply of coins you could produce was limited by the precious metals you had. The amount of paper money you could issue was limited by the amount of gold bars you had. In this system, gold is still acting like a currency; but a currency with very real limitations on the ability of any institution to manage it. [0]. This was the original meaning of digital gold.

In contrast, modern gold is not used as a currency. It is used as a commodity and store of value; and a hedge against inflation.

[0] Unlike gold though; bitcoin actually has a predictable issuance schedule. There is no sudden spike in Bitcoin supplies because prospective suddenly discovered a rich vein.

Can't you use Matrix for everything Signal does?
I haven't written anything up anywhere, but I have a rough outline of it - I can pull it together today and see if it's consumable by others. If you're at all familiar with the tools, they're deployed in their most vanilla capacities. The grief for me was the tiny amount of configuration each piece needed to fit with everything else. Components: postgres, Synapse (Matrix server), Signald (Signal client daemon), mautrix-signal (Signal-Matrix bridge), mautrix-whatsapp (WhatsApp-Matrix bridge), Element (Matrix client)
>The position of ‘Indians’ as particularly ‘rapey’ is also explicit in Stagecoach,

I think historically, invading/raiding soldiers were always ‘rapey’. One only needs to look at the Romans, the Vikings, the French in Spain, and more recently the Japanese, Germans, and Soviets in WWII.

Being on the losing side in a battle or war sucked, even if you were a civilian.
I wonder what is the true story behind all this DRM. There has to be some corruption, selling out, some people who are staying silent on the issue to this day. Everyone seems to consider this as a negative - why did this get passed then?
Recreation.gov has existed at least since Obama's presidency and probably before then.
I wouldn't call it total BS. Ergo doesn't make you comfortable. Ergo reduces discomfort. There are tools that are very uncomfortable and tools that are only slightly uncomfortable. They're not too expensive either; MS Ergo 4000 keyboard is getting lots of recommendations here for a reason.
Backblaze is a backup service, not a file storage service.

If the computer you are backing up isn't online for 6 months, it clearly isn't that important. If it is, you can use B2 to store files indefinitely.

We're using zmap to basically scan 0.0.0.0/0 on ports ranging from 5900 to 5910.

Adresses that have at least one of these open then get passed to a Python script that attempts to connect to those machines and take a screenshot.

The web frontend is built using Go httpd by the way.

Edit: We are able to do this because we're at the 31c3 with an enormeously fast internet connection. The machine this is running on has a 1Gbps connection to the internet.
Isn't this just fortune telling or astrology for geeks?
as someone familiar with the swedish prison system, 4-10 months will be cut down by a 3rd (a reduction for good behavior is automatically granted to each prisoner, unless proven otherwise.). A prisoner also has a nice private room with cable TV and internet.

These snarks appear because of Wolfram's writing style, he comes off as a kind of Steve Jobs who he himself is the product he is selling. Though at least this one is lighter than usual.
Sure. And I'm in no way arguing for that notion. What I am arguing against is confusing the theft of a copy or object with interfering with said right, legitimate or not. My point is that you have not deprived the owner of the copy/object/medium of anything, but that is a straw man. The real question is whether these rights, which are in fact being violated by the reproduction, are legitimate. I agree with you that they are generally not, from my own moral perspective at least.
This seems to be a perfect fit for the author, does it now?
What makes you think the flaggers didn't click on the link first? I tried to read the text but the pictures of Brazilian models kept getting in my way...

I'm sure most of the HN crowd that value Ferris' inspirational titbits already know where his blog is, and there are probably more relevant inspiring stories submitted today that won't make the front page.

Think of it as PKI for Let's Encrypt certificates. LE certs are great, but Certera is aiming to make it simpler, easier and more useful.
FYI, obrajesse has this to say about the April 21st delivery date in response to my comment:

> Multiple items I’ve ordered this weekend with April 21 or later delivery dates got their dates moved up by 3+ weeks after order.

I can tell you that, as a seller, we’ve been seeing 2-3 additional days for delivery vs. normal. There’s not really a reason I can think of that delivery dates would suddenly get delayed by an additional 3-4 weeks. Delivery times should degrade gradually as demand ramps up. My personal hunch is that Amazon is setting expectations super low (or there’s a big!).

It is already a fantasy when the virus outbreak outside China like late Feb.
Very useful app, got what i searchin from a long time.
It's highly variable and depends on region but I've found that particularly when it comes to hiking trails, OpenStreetMap blows Google Maps out of the water. In my area there are tons of little paths in the forests that are on OSM and none of the other mainstream mapping services.

On Android, OSMAnd is really good and there's also Maps.me. There are open-source versions of both on F-Droid as well.
Yes, just like me.. Although most people are not, and a lot are marketing people from Fb/etc to bury certain posts. But that's a different story
> What can I do to improve my attitude toward useful areas of my life and convince myself to stop wasting time?

You need to decide whether you're procrastinating, or you have a deeper problem like being a loser.

If you have finished substantial projects in the past, and are taking a break, for whatever reason, that's fine.

If you really haven't accomplished anything in life and are still fantasizing about doing something, you're a loser. All those dreams are just noise in your brain. I'd suggest setting those aside and focusing on things you must do, like your job.

I can give you an example. I knew a young guy who seriously dreamed of joining the Army, but was 300+ pounds. I said to him, "Have you ever exercised in your life?" His answer was no, so I said the Army is not the right place for you. None of his friends was willing to offer objective advice.

The old school way to get things done is with a todo list. By writing down 5 - 10 tasks and then turning to that as your boss, you add structure (discipline) and reduce your internal debate over what to do and instead turn your energy into action.

Try a todo list for a couple weeks and if that doesn't help, then embrace the fact that you're a loser, and focus on necessary things.

Also, two of the hardest things to do are learn guitar or build an airplane. They both take about 2 years part-time to make substantial progress. The best advice I've heard for both is the same: every day, pick up the guitar, or the airplane plans or parts.
It's "lock rotation", not "lock portrait". If you have the device in landscape when you lock it, it will lock in landscape.
Information can only escape if you let it escape.
That's what I thought after the last buyout, too, given that I'm also paying really high prices (more than you are for a slower connection, even). I figure I'll at least wait until I actually start getting bad support, though, before leaving. I probably would have torn my hair out trying to solve these repeater issues with any other company.

If these other companies had any clue (and they don't), they'd train their staff to just go ahead and escalate the call to someone high enough that they don't have a script if the caller sounds like some kind of geek.
It is actually less than a millisecond away, even within fiber, which is a bit slower than vacuum.
The user database is centralized (from a talk that lead Skype engineer given couple of years ago), so I too wonder how would a traffic routing nodes affect signing in. I am sure non of the client code has their user database credentials... So supernodes can only prevent communication, calls, video from happening.

So there's something else they are hiding. My Mac skype dies on start since yesterday (trying to sign-in), supernodes would have nothing to do with that.
In general, Wall St tends to use this nomenclature (i.e., $X billion dollar company) when referencing revenues. For instance, Procter & Gamble is referred to as an "$80 billion dollar company" - which speaks to revenue, not market cap.

This gets murky with private firms, since revenue isn't typically shared, and even more so with startups where so much of the value is based on future, projected earnings.

In general, though, I'd say the nomenclature more commonly refers to revenues and not 'valuation'.
I've never understood what sort of wrongheadedness produced the concept of employer-managed pension plans. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket -- your employer goes bankrupt and you lose both your job and your lengthily accrued pension benefits.
Functional languages rest on two main principles: (1) Immutability (2) Transforming inputs to outputs

Shared mutable states creates a lot of accidental complexity and makes writing concurrent applications harder. I recommend the talk "The Value of Values" by Rich Hickey for a more in depth analysis.

A traditional while loop like while (x < 5) { ... } involves mutating state, so it's not possible to implement in a purely functional language. In the case of bitwalker's implementation, a value is returned to work around this limitation.
good advice. you might also check some existing tracking apps in your area of interest.

Almost everyone one of those requires that someone actually read the blog, so the title is completely wrong.

In Europe there's not only power limitations but also duty cycle on some bands. Eg on 868Mhz you can only transmit 1% of the time.

I don't think the equivalent US band of 915Mhz has this, and it has a much higher maximum power which is really nice. Wish we had something like this here.
Clean room reverse engineering is for the case where you want to translate source code to source code and prove that you didn't just copy and paste it. (It's pretty easy for two people to generate the exact same bytes of source code for any given algorithm. The documentation around clean room reverse engineering is to prove that you independently came up with the same thing. The code is copyrightable, the idea isn't.)

If you open up some chip and look at it under the microscope and translate the transistors you see into C code, that's not copyright infringement. (But it might be patented. Patents are super weird in that if you come up with an idea completely independently of someone else, and the other person patents it, you're not allowed to use the idea!)
In one sense we were a can't-turn-down state. No limit on the premium, though, and note the response I received from an insurance application. The can't-turn-down option wasn't meaningful.
That can't really be a relevant example of an impaired high-price game though, because it's free everywhere.
Way to take the maximally uncharitable interpretation.
Do you mean Apple, whose usage of the PSL caused this?
Even with the amount of hype around CRISPR, that is... incredible. Turning patients into their own donors feels magical.

I suppose in this instance, the patients wouldn’t need immunosuppressants after their treatment, as I’d expect standard care patients currently need for life?
How do you know that the source code they published is the same code that the site uses?
The concept is sound, but new MacBooks do not have removable batteries.
That's actually something I noticed when I moved here, people are a lot less likely to know their neighbors (even if they have fewer neighbors than I'm used to).

I bought a condo in San Rafael, and when I did a round to introduce myself to my neighbors, I had TWO people ask me if I was a sex offender! That made me wonder what kind of crazy place I had ended up in!

Then someone explains to me that sex offenders have to do that by law, and just about nobody else does that.

At least nobody yelled at me for doing deliveries by unmanned rover.

Then I left for India for work for a couple of months, and when I came back, someone was living in my place... Americans are very interesting :)
You say that as if it was possible to move 25% of the world's oil production to the United States.
I'm responsible for a relatively large site ( http://www.foreignpolicy.com ) that was down for 12+ hours over this failure today.

One fallacy that I think that many people make in the whole cloud debate is the idea that a given cloud provider is any more or less failure prone than a given dedicated server host.

We have assets on Amazon, Slicehost, and Linode. Sometimes these go down, whether it's our fault, software's fault, hardware's fault, or a construction crew hitting a fiber drop, things happen. If you're not backed up in a fully tested way on not just another server or availability zone, but whole different hosting infrastructure (preferably in a different time zone), then you're not really backed up. Being on a host like Amazon, or even a fully managed host like a Cadillac Rackspace plan doesn't remove the need for good BCP.

What these cloud services allow you to do in theory is have that backup infrastructure ready to go on relatively short notice _without_ keeping it running all the time. We can't reasonably afford to replicate all of our servers and hot data to Western Region or the Rackspace cloud 24/7. We can, however, afford to set up the infrastructure and spin it up on the fly within an hour with slightly stale data once a month to test it, and when for things break. Requisitioning that kind of hardware and then dumping it for only a few tens of dollars a month is difficult if not impossible on a virtual host.

The big question is not 'Is the cloud more reliable?', but 'Do i need what only the cloud can offer?'. If your current infrastructure can handle getting drudged or reddited fine, and you're only on a few servers, you're probably better off just paying to keep a hot spare up at softlayer.

On the other hand if you have 1) Occasional traffic bursting that you don't want to pay to handle most days and 2) Can accept a few minutes of downtime, then the solutions offered by cloud hosts blow the competition out of the water. I guess what you're gaining is not the management software, it's the ability to turn off & on quickly when something goes wrong (or, in the case of a redditing, right).

Part of figuring out the right hosting solution involves asking the right questions.

(..and for reference, we were all ready to go with a backup... and then we learned that our hosting company was storing our nightlies on S3 and couldn't retrieve them, and that our offsite DB solution was having an unrelated issue). Had we run proper tests (I'm brand new to the job), we would've been ready for this one. I also worry big time about DNS and load balancing being a big SPF, but that's a plan for another day.

I used blueproximity successfully with my Linux laptop. I bought the smallest bluetooth headset I could find ($25), removed all extraneous parts, and carried it on my person (not my bag). It was so small that I didn't notice it. Effectively like two-factor authentication for unlocking my laptop.

It's unwise to use your phone for this purpose, because a phone and laptop might both be swiped if you're not holding on to both. This has happened to folks at cafes or on mass transit in the Bay Area.
It's completely unscientific, which is why I said "I like to think." Not making any larger claim than a personal anecdote and thought.
