I started using outlook.com and related services about two years ago and loved it. Now that I'm on Office 365, I miss the simplicity of outlook.com.

On top of that, there was no upgrade path between the two products.
Yeah I can second this. I've been using native LSP since 0.5 nightly and it's been nothing but solid. The only thing that occasionally gave me issues were tree-sitter crashes (unrelated to LSP), but even those seem to have all been fixed by now.
> Standards are good and should be followed for good reasons. They allow for both diagnostics (is that host down or are ping packets just filtered?) and the development of new protocols (nope, can’t use SCTP or anything other than TCP or UDP; they might be filtered).

That's a long way of saying "Be liberal in what you accept from others", which is a short way of saying "What security vulnerabilities? Everyone else on the ARPANET is a university researcher too, if they want an account on my system they can just ask."

Standards should be followed if and only if you intend to support the specific thing being standardized. Implement the smallest, most robust subset of the standard that you need to to get the job done (in a future-proof way, mind you; don't just skip out on things because a certain remote implementation doesn't require you to care, that too is terrible for security). If the standard is well-written, that's all of it, but the older internet standards by and large weren't.
Signal’s founder Moxie Marlinspike is famously anti-federation. His argument is that communication will break down as some clients implement some features, while other clients don't. Your client has no guarantees that the client on the other end will understand what it sends. Moxie points to the chaotic state of XMPP clients and servers as an example of this. So, he calls for a single client connecting to a single server where everyone agrees on what functionality is present.
Libel laws in the UK are terrible, so much so that they lead to "libel tourism" where rich people try to sue others in the UK courts because the law is more favourable to the accuser than elsewhere, and as you say it's expensive to defend yourself.

My reference to the UK small claims court was simply because it seems like a sensible way of settling differences with as little friction and cost as possible, and I could see that format working to level the playing field between a government and a publisher. It seems unlikely, because that's not usually the way things go, but it would be an interesting way to actually tackle this kind of problem without huge legal fees, rather than just throwing our hands up in the air and saying "free speech!"
Do you think Windows or MacOS make compromise on the way they code their kernel to accomodate nVidia ?

No, it's just a matter of economics.
> The parks really should have had better defenses.

Requiring a deposit payment at time of booking is a pretty easy one. Make it non refundable if it continues to be a problem. Increase the price if it still is a problem.

If the goal then is to make it fair for everyone regardless of ability to afford it, require a legible scan of ID or passport and restrict each person to reserving 1 spot in the future at a time, and they must be the person stating in the camp site so someone has to verify their ID at the camp site too, otherwise they can now resell that reservation like ticket re-sellers.

I don’t see other options of “fairly” distributing something with limited quantities. Trying to do it on the technical side by trying to prevent automated scripts is a losing battle in the long run.
In this case it turns out to be true. But (absent fake news punishment) in general, you can assume that such a funny-sounding headline is completely bullshit, because legitimate news only hits such headlines by accident, whereas there are tabloid and celebrity gossip sites that produce such headlines on a daily basis.
Copyright only became an issue with the printing press since no author could make a living from publishing before that.

Before commercial publishing basically all authors where either independently wealthy or clergy, or they were hired by the rich or powerful.
A political speech is opinion. Some of these opinions may have been proved incorrect in the past but not everyone obviously agree on that.

A mandatory fact check (by whom?) will end up suppressing 'incorrect' opinions and thus limit choice to one or two 'approved' candidates. (which is not far from what the Chinese government wants to do when it says that HK candidates must be approved first)
"regulations gives us passengers safety and fair prices." - We had these before Uber, and it was worse.

Uber has pushed up quality in general. Market pressure is often a better way of doing these things rather trying to have a central inspector who can't see everything all of the time.
Another factor which encourages the placement of main content on the left is that by default horizontal scrollbars start at the leftmost position, so only secondary content is obscured if the browser viewport is a little narrower than a fixed-width page layout

Is this browser behaviour reversed with right-to-left language OS/browser default settings?
I have seen a couple "cookbooks" that pulled me through pretty quickly. I like to see things that are neat, or tough to do layed out and in the process, find new toys to play with. It feels like reading a good magazine.
I ran a successful Kickstarter with what I believe to be a cruddy video.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1985705009/pimame

I think there are two spectrums to successful Kickstarter videos: Over the top really well done quality videos, and super low budget (read: $0) iMovie videos that show sincerity.

Anywhere in between that and you come off looking like a scam.

I would say 18% is the standard tip as that is what most restaurants (in GA at least) will charge as "automatic gratuity" for parties of 6 or more. The math on 20% is easier so a lot of people default to 20%
I do daily backups for data preservation. So my concern was more for the point where writes may fail (of course the controller will care about it). You're right. As they get cheaper, I'll probably buy one this year.
If only some authoritarian would rid us of these meddling emissions!
By delaying the second dose, more of the most vulnerable cohorts can be vaccinated more quickly. By the time you get to vaccinating significantly less vulnerable cohorts with their first dose, you will also be second dosing the most vulnerable cohorts.

So it's not really a case of denying the most vulnerable a second dose in order to give significantly less vulnerable people a first dose.
stopped reading at "If you believe the Steve Jobs iPad snake oil"

eyeroll
word perfect for me!
As an aside, I feel like suggesting this on social media will likely get you banned or in the least, you would have your posts labeled with a warning, and have to endure attacks from others for “not trusting the experts”. First doses first, and I would argue first doses as fast as possible (not having various “equity” focused schemes slowing things down), are very logical stances to hold. In the least, they are reasonable to bring to a societal discussion. The fact that we can’t openly talk about such ideas with friends, coworkers, or broader society is sad.
Nobody uses it that way — they use it to mean evil/wicked/malevolent, but then said relation will usually gibe "why yes they are very left-handed" so I have stopped using it that way lol
Godot doesn't expose inheritance to scripting AFAIK; it's strictly a convenience used internally to describe the core nodes. When you script Godot to make complex entities, it's through composition of arbitrary nodes in arbitrary hierarchies, often encapsulated as scenes. References are mostly done by relative path, and the scripting language has sugar to make this a convenient process.

So, yeah, try it. It's the best system I've encountered for the general-purpose use-case, and I've designed a fair few myself.
This seems like the shady type of thing lawmakers should pass laws against
Very close, its for black diamond. Based on the positioning of the 2 staph infections on my leg, I also thought it may have been my harness (which I disinfected now). Thanks though, it's incredible just how much bacteria is everywhere you touch.
Cute. Minor point: it doesn't check for invalid field/classnames, e.g.

{"{ [ string" : ""}
I do think it would have been better if I had said "contexts of execution" wherever I said "thread."
I think the bigger concern here isn't the risk of food poisoning from the meat, it's that we're literally forcing billions of animals to take antibiotics daily. If that doesn't encourage the evolution of anti-biotic resistant strains of bacteria, I don't know what would. It's not just bad in an ethical sense, it's bad in a pragmatic sense, too.
> Why not just sterilize it with gamma radiation?

Look at all the unrestrained horror and apocalyptic glee surrounding Fukushima and answer that question for yourself.

I know it isn't the same thing, or even the same kind of thing. You know that as well. However, convincing the masses of that will be the work of at least a generation, and, even if it is widely accepted, there will always be people who will be opposed to it for the simple reason "NUCLEAR SCARY!" and nothing else.
This somewhat reminds me of a few articles I've read of Jim Sinegal (CEO of Costco). There's a particular good read here: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/130/thinking-outside-the...

Choice quote:

"the people in that business [wall street] are trying to make money between now and next Thursday. We're trying to build a company that's going to be here 50 and 60 years from now."

This makes me want to work at Google now.
You wouldn't want to make assumptions about the scheduler if you're programming for a desktop, smartphone, or server, but you have to if you're programming a lot of kinds of embedded systems.
Please. That would take too much coordination and agreements between too many people. If they try to hold the stock's price hostage, someone else will just swoop in and make a killing - possibly even Google itself.
Another interesting case: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/revert...

I'm not sure if the "forget whatever happened" metaphor works for me. In the "revert a revert" article above, the problem is that merging a topic branch doesn't cause the first few commits on it to be applied if those commits were already merged but then reverted -- the revert has no effect on the merge. This is precisely because every commit object, since it includes it's parent's sha1, uniquely determines a history of changes, and commits in that are in both ancestries don't get re-applied.

In Bram's example, you have the opposite problem -- two commits are semantically the same but were made independently and have different sha1s. If Linus were drawing this diagram he would label them B and B' (and so on... there's a lot). To git, B' is totally different so a merge applies the change "again". If the other person had noticed this and reset their branch to the first B, the merge would be a fast-forward.

IMHO, the Don't Do That should apply to creating those commits (by cherry-picking, or not rebasing duplicated work) rather than merging. Not because such commits are morally wrong or something like that, but because git intentionally ("the stupid content tracker") doesn't handle them well. That's the tradeoff of the nice object model.

Our git workflow at my job is pretty messy and does run into this sort of stuff. I'd love something just a little more darcs-y, like say grafting together the two branches in the second example that arrive at the same content (without having to manage a local grafts file separate from the repository), but that opens many other cans of worms that I'm sure I'm not intelligent enough to deal with.
There are a couple of places in .net where json can be deserialized into a c# class you provide, for example posting json to an asp.net mvc controller action. I find it is a massive pain to go through and create the classes manually.
> the fact remains that crudding up the title tag does actually provide tangible SEO benefits.

Source/study?
Storage and grid stability problems are still largely unsolved. When wind and solar starts to be 30-50% of the capacity, this problems will get serious. If you factor the cost of storage solutions, the cost of wind and solar against nuclear is not that lucrative any more
I hope this never takes off.

This whole machine learning, optimization etc, story, but the end goal is that Google can easily transcribe your voice calls and store it as text. Then it can apply all shady practices that it previously was too expensive to do because storing voice and extracting information from it required huge storage costs and actual human labour.

Or worst, just imagine what some government you don't trust could do with all those voice call transcripts.
It could be called "The Grand Unification" in the history of software development.
agreed. I have just found by my own experience that when nice free lunch is supplied (finance company, not SV startup), we typically talked about work and tech stuff anyway.

those who went out for lunch did because they needed some air and distance, and that was not frowned upon at all. but trust me, good free food is a powerful motivator to stick around!
There's no problem with FSF or Stallman being discussed on HN. All that is on topic in principle. What's not on topic is endless repetition of a same-old flamewar.

When there's a major ongoing topic, one important test is whether there's SNI (Significant New Information) in a submission—or just a follow-up that's continuing the same discussion. If there's no SNI, chances are high that the discussion will be a repeat, and when the topic is highly polarized, you'll get a repeat of the same flamewar. That's what we really don't want here, so we downweight such follow-ups.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

These principles are well-established on HN and have nothing specifically to do with Stallman, let alone whatever opinions the mods have or don't have. You'll see the same patterns about any major ongoing topic that's highly divisive. Assange stories, for example, are pretty much an exact parallel.

Your comment suggests you may feel like there's a bias in which opinions are being "allowed" - that's not the case. See my explanation above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26713636. It's all too easy to feel like the local authorities are biased against your view, but that perception is in the eye of the beholder—i.e. it's rooted in cognitive biases, such as the one where people notice the cases they dislike and overlook the others (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).
> there is no doubt that there is a direct link between the AZ vaccine and these rare thrombosis cases

Given that the article doesn’t say this, can you say why you are so certain?
LOL, this might be one of the biggest truths I've ever read on HN. An expanded, micromanagement style of leadership just isn't necessary in a remote style office. Trust in your employees and a flatter structure, with fewer executives and more people who produce is ideal for a remote office business style. This is a direct contrast to the mantra of the 80's, 90's and 2000's logic of grind it out for as short a time as possible producing and move to middle management. It's been a detriment to our school system and many businesses. Lifetime crafters/creators/producers are looked down upon in our society, more often than not.
Making more money isn't the only potential life improvement that is possible. Yes, there are things that a person working at Starbucks can learn that will still improve their lives, and make it more fulfilling: languages, philosophy and knowledge are often their own reward.

Further, it seems obvious to me that hunting money is a fools game. If money made people happy, at some point, then why do billionaires push for tax cuts, and more power and wealth? As research is starting to show, wealth is an emotional hunger that you can never sate.
That's not my choice to make
Please do me the courtesy of writing a reply if you're going to downvote. Thank you.
I grew up in suburban, then rural New Mexico. I spent a decent chunk of my adult life in Central Florida. I even lived in tiny, beautiful Bend, OR.

There's not a single one of these places that can hold a candle to the SF Bay Area in terms of opportunity, smart people and great employers. As a tech hub, it's an optimal destination for someone with technical skills.

"Bigger cities have more opportunities" isn't self-righteous. It's just common sense.

So, yeah, you can make it happen for yourself anywhere. But why would you struggle to extract juice from the oil shale that is nowhere, USA when enormous wells of real opportunity have bullseyes painted right on the map? Why make it needlessly hard?
In Canada (where I'm from) our party leaders are elected by the party members. Whenever there is a change in leader, there is some party convention and paying members of the party are asked to vote. Anyone can pay to be a member, but it's not a public vote like in the states. I wonder if this produces better or worse candidates? With our parlimentary system, we also don't vote for our Prime Minister, we vote for our local representative.

I think it's obvious if the US worked this way, the Republican party wouldn't have selected Trump. Perhaps you end up just electing the same old boring white guy time and time again.
There are parallels, but surely there's a large, morally important difference between sneaking onto a half empty train with $50 seats, and stealing $50 from someone's wallet.
FYI the ORIGINAL Grist article much better and full of detail:

Of course it has evolved. But some landmarks of it (e.g., using single letters for "variables") have been used since 2500 years ago. Now I laugh when programmers tell me to be "civilized" and name my matrices with full words.
Thank you! I wish I could contribute. I'll certainly keep an eye on the content that does turn up as we're getting increasingly restless in Vienna. In addition to the immigration related stuff mentioned in another thread, I'd be much obliged to anyone who could contribute cost-of-living related info. Basics like rent, utilities and food and any expense I might not be expecting coming from Europe...
The current one can do that already, with a sharpie. It has managed to replicate its own electronics in this way.
In my case, I loved my Atari 800 and 800XL, but when the Amiga came out and someone brought theirs in to the university lab where I was working, I knew I had to have one. I finally got a 500 a couple of years later and still have it.
You would be in the red too if you were forced to keep providing an unprofitable service, and prevented from raising your prices.
There are always more jobs, but not always of equal desirability. Knowing that this company is the only one in the perfect location, on a project that fascinates you is about as high-stakes as it gets.
It's funny because in practice probably all of us use Wikipedia as essentially gospel when it comes to almanac facts such as historical people's birthdates or survey numbers, ie average rainfall or the region some tree owl lives in.
If you run Gnome and Wayland it's possible to configure universal 3 finger gestures using an extension, e.g. I have back and forward configured via extended gestures, this works in Nautilus, Firefox and any other apps that have bindings for back and forward.
You said you are in a "quite desirable software company", so I assume it is not a small one (especially if people have a bad mentality).
Just hang on for a while, and try to move on to another team: you can claim that the culture in your current team doesn't fit, and try to find one that's more open to juniors.
From my experience a lot of senior engineers are more than happy to help if you "do your homework first", which you seem to be doing since you work very hard every night.
> Basically, they have a monopoly on a service covering an area, and they're refusing service.

They don't: http://www.codepublishing.com/wa/kitsapcounty/html/Kitsap14/....

See: 14.32.010 Terms of franchise.

"(2) Any franchise granted pursuant to this chapter shall be nonexclusive and shall not preclude the county from granting other or further franchises or permits or preclude the county from using any roads, rights-of-way, streets or other public properties or affect its jurisdiction over them or any part of them, or limit the full power of the county to make such changes, as the county shall deem necessary, including the dedication, establishment, maintenance and improvement of all new rights-of-way and thoroughfares and other public properties."

If he's 2,500 feet from the nearest equipment, he's probably living in a low-density area that's not worth anyone's while to serve.
> It is fascinating that this article comes out in context of Broadcast Board of Governors announcing that US is losing the information war with Russia. Surprisingly it does not occur to the media that telling the truth is the best antidote to Russian propaganda.

Is it though? I know that in a business context I've often been told that I have an 'incredible ability to see both sides of a question'; that's actually a problem, because at some point one has to decide for one side or another on a particular question.

Likewise, in real life there often aren't cut-and-dried issues: rather, there are two (or more!) sides, each with valid perspectives, valid grudges, and they can't all win; indeed, in some cases compromise is simply impossible. And yet people must decide between them.

Indeed, the more one learns the truth about an historical conflict, the less obvious is the Right Thing to do in that situation. But what great masses of people need is a clear, obvious Right Thing. You don't win WWII by emphasising that the post-WWI plebiscites were fixed against Germany, or that Japan had some valid grievances against the U.S.
I used to live in Kitsap county and this story is very familiar. We had a house not far from the bridge where there was no (and probably will never be) cell phone coverage by any provider, dsl also wasn't an option, and comcast was the only game in town. You were lucky to get an FM/AM radio signal. Some of the problem is that houses are built sporadically outside Poulsbo and Bremerton proper - there really aren't neighborhoods so much as somebody bought an acre in the woods and put a house on it.

But, this is certainly not isolated to Kitsap county or Comcast. Now I live in the other side of the state, in Walla Walla, and I assure you that Charter is just as bad, even when you pay for a business-class connection. It seems once you get outside Portland/Seattle, the population density isn't such that the cable providers (or other potential internet providers) are much interested in the infrastructure investment. For the big guys like Comcast, Charter, etc - HQ is far far away and has no idea of the local situation. The only option I've found is to become buddies with the local field guys (and there are only like 2 for the 4 county area over here...).

Frankly, while the isolation and quiet of the peninsula is nice, you are better off selling your house anyway unless you are willing to hold it for 20+ years and hope that King/Pierce/Snohomish are finally so full that people have no choice but to move to Kitsap county. House sales are horribly slow and values barely move.

Can you elaborate on what searx is and why folks have their own instances?
