> Sure, Jobs may have surrendered to the trend of larger screen sizes, but he would've insisted on something that wasn't so plainly awful as Reachability.

Like what? A different way of shrinking the screen, or are you thinking there's a way to enable one-handed use without shrinking?

Here's a comparison of the existing shrinking techniques.. you be the judge: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Whose-one-handed-mode-do-you-...

The cool thing about Apple's approach is that it doesn't actually shrink any tap target sizes. Also it seems easier to enable (2 light taps vs. swiping from the bezel edge). Having said that, I never use it, I just shift the phone in my hand, like a ninja.

How about just finding cheap apartments (or real estate) generally instead? Or is there too much manual intervention required in this machine learning?

>> moderators on SE don't actually close most of the questions, normal users with privileges to do that, do so by voting.

To a person _arriving at SO from Google_, "moderator" and "normal users with privileges" are basically the same thing, even though they may be technically different. And, those "normal users with privileges" tend to be overly aggressive when flagging questions as "off topic" or "opinion-based".
Good. So does Ghostery, for that matter. It'd be a pretty poor blocker if it didn't block one of the biggest trackers out there.
Additionally, manifestations of paranoid schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders change with culture; during the Cold War, it was a common delusion that one was being monitored by the CIA or the KGB; nowadays many sufferers report that they're on a 24/7 reality TV show they can't escape from

Well the most definitive measure of herd immunity would be, does the rate of cases stay low? And their rate of new cases has gotten to levels not seen in over six months, even though they have ended the lockdown and other such measures. So, either:

1) they have herd immunity, or

2) the lockdown wasn't really doing anything anyway

Or both, of course. But the theory that accords best with prior knowledge, is that because they have gotten above 70% resistant (either through vaccination or the virus itself), they have herd immunity because that's what we expected.

The real news would be if they did NOT have herd immunity by now, as that would imply that vaccination is for some reason not working. But, good news, it appears to be working.
Well you'll be surprised what garbage Nightly surprised me with today [1]. Seemingly the goal is to remove anything that would let users distinguish UI elements based on habit and visual familarity. When did Safari last change how their tab bar works? Mozilla changes it every year now, planless and clueless. Are there no bigger issues to solve in Firefox?

I mean, just remove compact mode if you don't want to maintain it, but playing around after removing it invalidates any excuse that has something to do with reducing maintenance burden.

Proton, ha.

This is a very weak argument given that it works in the Developer version.
My one-man-SaaS setup:

- Static frontend hosted on Netlify (free unlimited scale)

- Backend server on Google App Engine (connecting to Gcloud storage and managed DB via magic)

I realize I'm opening myself up to vendor lock-in and increased costs down the road (if I even get that far), but I've wrangled enough Docker/k8s/Ingress setups in the past to know it's just not worth the time and effort for a non-master.
Do you mean taking a company public without any co-founders and employees, or starting originally with none, then later taking some on?

If the latter, I would think Dropbox would count, since at least originally it was a single founder.
I think this issue is more nuanced than you (and many other people every time these threads comes up) make it out to be, which is why I brought up this point. Saying "certain scale duh" is just as an empty idea as "just build your own lol".

Can you explicitly tell me how you would codify that scale in law? And whatever you make the cap, what then is the incentive for a website to allow more users over the cap?

> Of course there have to be provisions for explicit content scope and spam

"Of course" they can moderate spam. Can you tell me how to objectively identify spam?

If I have a religious forum, and it passes the user cap, suddenly we have ourselves a public town square. Then someone comes in and starts saying "God isn't real!" several times in literally every thread. Is that spam? Because to me, it looks like an exercise of free speech, so you can't erase those messages. Certainly if someone was repeating that in a public space, we wouldn't silence them. By exceeding the user cap, that site would become a worse experience because you've severely limited moderation abilities by your proposed law.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Your (knee-jerk?) characterization is the opposite of what that comment is saying.

Seeing generic crap helps me to ignore the consumerist propaganda that's being hurled at me from all angles. It's easier to recognize it for what it is: an attempt to exert undue influence over my decision making.
Where it's sketchy to find Windows is inside the chassis of some piece of specialized equipment with its own control panel. You may not even realize that what you're working with is a full-screen Win32 app until you get a bluescreen or taskbar popop or something. Then you learn that in addition to the domain-specific software/hardware and what you're trying to use it for, you've got a whole Windows desktop worth of reliability risk in there.

If it's just a touchscreen or hardware buttons, you may need a key to open a panel where the keyboard/mouse are, or to bring your own keyboard/mouse, in order to navigate the Windows part of the interface to fix the problem.

Obviously if it's intended to be networked to existing desktops for control over a LAN, the client software will be Windows, but even then you hope the server isn't.

Julia gets compared a lot to Python but truthfully it strikes me as more like a replacement for FORTRAN, MATLAB, and R. The ergonomics of the language seem good but documentation is poor and as a community it's narrowly scoped into the ML/numerical processing world.

If all you do is ML/numerical processing, against data that's already been cleaned up, I bet it's really great tho.
As someone with IBD, I really wish the hard science about bacteria would start to filter into actual treatments. I know there are possibilities there, and many patients have found avenues of success, but there is so much guesswork involved that it is very frustrating. Hopefully there will be definitive answers in the future. My gastroenterologist, who has quite a lot of training from very good schools, has absolutely nothing useful to say, in terms of the microbiome.
Even if I did pose a challenge (I wasn't, I was just curious) it would totally be ok.
I am totally with you on statically typed vs. dynamically typed languages _in general_. I'm not denying that there are major advantages to using one for most kinds of programs. But I just don't see a benefit for ML.

You can easily find out if you like it or not, you can use the C++ API for TF/PyTorch and you'll have a statically typed program running your model for you. Sure, it's not Haskell, but C++ is statically typed, and although it's not the most popular or loved language on HN, you can use it to get stuff done.
> Are you suggesting that we switch to TUIs/CLIs on touch interfaces? If not, what's your solution?

My solution is that touch interfaces are a bad design in the first place. They're significantly less accessible to people with disabilities. They present a lot more problems with feedback about which buttons you're _about_ to press. And they're ficking obnoxious because everyone and their marketing team wants a completely different interface so nothing is ever consistent even on the "same" operating system.

> For example?

Example 1: download one file from a url mentioned somewhere

curl -fLsS "$(query for url)" -o ~/Downloads/file

Example 2: download a bunch of PDF files

cat ./file | grep -P '\.pdf$' | while read -r url; do curl -fLsS "${url}" -o ~/Downloads/"$(basename "${url}")"; done

Example 2: move all PDFs that I just downloaded:

mv ~/Downloads/*.pdf /path/to/pdfs

Example 3: find what text file(s) have some text

grep -nRIiw "magic" /path/with/content

Example 4: find what pdf file(s) have some text

find /path/to/pdfs -iname '*.pdf' -exec pdfgrep "magic" {} +

Example 5: compare filenames in the two sets:

sort <(grep -lRIiw "magic" /path/with/content | while read -r path; do basename "${path}" .txt; done) <(pdfgrep -l "magic" /path/to/pdfs | while read -r path; do basename "${path}" .pdf; done) | uniq

And now, I have accepted a file from a team member which describes URLs to PDF reports with magic. I have generated a one-off report describing which files have magic content that needs to be reviewed because it contains magic that's described in in a local database.

How about generating a git-diff, encrypting it, and emailing it?

cat <(echo Subject: diff for the work you needed) <(gpg -a -u inetknght -r recipient -o - -e <(git diff new..old)) | sendmail recipient

... Okay so those one-off things are complex things. How about simple things?

Example 6: move a file.

mv ~/Downloads/foo ~/Documents/

Example 7: open a file

xdg-open file

Example 8: delete a file

rm file

Example 9: mount a thumb drive

mount /dev/device /mnt/filesystem

Example 10: unmount a thumb drive

umount /mnt/filesystem

Example 11: shutdown, and don't let any bad app stop the shutdown

systemctl poweroff --force

All of these are IMO easier than in a GUI

You mentioned exchanges own ~50% of the mobilecoin supply, how did they come to posses that amount of coins? Did you give them away for free? Or did they pay some price for each of the coins they have? If it's the latter can you disclose at what price you sold the coins for? This would give mobilecoin users a good baseline price for what the creators of the coin believe it's worth. Thank you.
Location is the key. The places listed in the article are all "new districts" of growing major cities, so they will be filled as planed. But not all major cities are actually growing, or growing as fast as planners hoped. And no official will admit their city is not growing, so as new districts are being build, some of them are going to be ghost ones.

However, the real ghost cities are mostly not going to be the ones you see in the media, for the reason of not shiny enough. If a project is on the failing trail, both the government and the developer will try to back off, to cut loses. So if you see the buildings are properly finished and streets well maintained, just lacking people, then it means the government and developers have not lost hope, and usually they have some good reasons.

STAR*D presents us with a "glass half full" problem. It's absolutely true that the majority of people will recover from depression with suitable treatment, but that leaves us with a minority who won't.

I'm not sure how to communicate those facts effectively to a wide audience. It is absolutely imperative that people with depression seek treatment and keep trying even if the first or second or fifth treatment fails, otherwise we're condemning people to unnecessary suffering; conversely, a lot of people with treatment-resistant depression are doubly stigmatised because of unreasonable expectations about the efficacy of treatment.

I do think it's useful for treatment-resistant patients to shift their focus away from recovery and towards symptomatic management - it's easy to get disheartened because you're not in remission, but a treatment that takes you from 10/10 depressed to 8/10 depressed is still useful. Eking out small reductions in symptoms and small improvements in functioning can be tedious and frustrating, but it's better than resigning yourself to interminable misery.
I don't think you understood the article. Pihole or any blocking DNS server based on blacklists won't help here (thats the point).

By using random, frequently updating CNAME's it effectively defeats the mechanism Pihole uses.

You could still block IP addresses of the advertisers, but often time's they don't do BGP, so they aren't going to have blocks under the same ASN you can simply block.

It's a nuanced and challenging problem for sure.

Thank you. Sigh.
What would convince you? It should be pretty clear at this juncture I don't have evidence. However I did give a reason; if in general depressed people feel they are not contributing or participating in society then that is pretty clear.

You can look into this further: a lack of physical activity tends to worsen depression, and a hunter-gatherer with reduced mobility and/or other issues that make it hard to interact with the group is most certainly a resource drain. It goes on and on.

Evolution isn't directed but structures and instinct that are truly against the organisms interest are the exception, not the norm.
I very rarely see system that distinguish between "this new feature can be safely ignored" and "it's not safe to process this message if you don't support this new feature", but I've always thought it a good idea. Like semantic versioning without a global ordering over schema changes.
Sure, it's unguarded, but how much damage can a motivated attacker actually do by sabotaging a rail line?

The worst I can think of is spilling a few carloads of radioactive waste. That requires knowing when the train will be coming, as well as whether there's any trains in front of it. (Obviously, you don't want your efforts going to naught due to an unexpected lumber train.)

Since freight trains don't particularly travel on any schedule, you'll have to have a man watching the tracks all the time, and be prepared to break the rail or commit other mischief on short notice.

If you choose to break the rail outright, you'll want to note that most track in the United States is protected by track circuits, which detect when the rail loses electrical continuity, and lights the "track occupied" light ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_circuit#Circuit_failures ).

Even after you go to all this trouble, it's most likely that the only failure you'll cause by derailing the front of a train is a delay to other trains. Garden variety milk-tank cars are designed to survive a derailment, because derailments happen and the product is worth money. Cars that carry radioactive waste are almost certainly better reinforced.

You can have a man sitting next to the track with dynamite on a radio detonator. He's going to have to have a good deal of it, and time it right to be under the cars that matter. This requires, again, knowing when the train is coming, and visiting the track on short notice. You'd not want to leave the explosives in place permanently, because the tracks do get inspected regularly. And then you'll have to deal with the reinforced railcars anyway.

I'm going to cut this off here, since I'm 8 hours late to the discussion.

I've gotten quite decent jobs off of my resume being posted someplace completely mundane (like monster). I'd say it's about 50/50 between connections and job sites in terms of recent jobs. That being said, without that other 50% my career would definitely be far worse off. Networking is pretty important.

So, don't buy industry. Buy local, humanely raised and killed animals.

e.g., our turkey for thursday was processed today, at a family's small farm here. Our eggs come from the back yard. We've gotten pork from another local person who raises a few pigs on the side. FWIW, poultry seems to be the hardest to source for us, and maybe that's because the margins are so damn slim for the factory birds.
I don't eat animals or animal products because I personally don't want to. What's wrong with that?
Hah, excellent. Now it does that for me too.

It's not waking up that's hard; the problem is getting to sleep. The symptoms in the article definitely apply to me (and I'm working on resolving them).

Yesterday I woke up much earlier than I'd like (via alarm clock) in the hope of being tired enough to get to sleep before midnight last night. I struggled to concentrate and keep my eyes focused all day, but I was still awake until 3am.

I hate spending 12 hours in bed and get up feeling like I've had 6 hours of actual sleep. It's hard to understand if you don't have this problem yourself.

It could have been intentional. Whoever designed the hardware might well have realized that it was important to be deliberately and obviously different from the iPhone, and that the various managers at Motorola/Verizon/Google just didn't get that until they saw the ad campaign.
As far as I can see, there is still no way to do anything with a part of a string without making a copy of it first. This is a major performance problem in scheme string handling as scheme implementations usually don't (and maybe can't) check to see if an original string is ever modified so that substring can safely return a window into the existing string instead of a brand new copy of the substring.
Some of the IP video solutions coming out from the bigger cable companies are actually pretty good though facing some limited content at the moment. I don't think they can compete against Netflix for movies but as basically cable TV on your computer/phone/tablet it's a pretty good start. In the long term it will probably depend a lot on how people prefer to watch video. Traditional linear programming or on-demand -- though they do integrate with DVR functionality so you still get the on-demand angle to a large degree. Since they've already got people on the hook for cable Internet and most people will want to continue having some level of video service if not for sports/live events alone, I think they're in pretty good shape to compete against Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. The missing piece is still a good set top experience. The vintage late 90's Cisco/Motorola boxes are so antiquated it's amazing. A smartphone I would throw into a trashcan has more power and a better UI.
I'm not sure I get your point. Everything in my blog post was true. The writing style is irrelevant to the facts. So what if I wrote it in a manor interesting to HN readers? That's the point, to get people interested and spread the word.

You assume "everybody understands those things" which simply isn't true. Not everyone understands how Dropbox works. Not everyone understands security though obscurity (which I should have linked in my post for people to learn more, will fix).

As I said in the post I understand Dropbox is attempting to play damage control. The way they went about it was inappropriate. Removing the file from their service is one thing. It's their company, they can run it as they see fit. Requesting all files hosted elsewhere to be taken down and HN comments be deleted is going too far. That's an obvious attempt to kill the project, hence the title.
I've definitely thought about that.
Awesome playlist! Hope you were able to figure out how to rename. The other commenter is correct - click the edit link next to the title.
well, i think that a main aspect is definitely dedication. if you have to handle a full time job while doing this project, so be it it, you gotta live. but then every other second should be on this project. if that doesnt happen, then the project wont happen.
another aspect, i think, is an awesome partner. going with PGs' philosophy of you almost always need a partner to succeed. but good luck =)
Yeah, this is a known bug. We're going to fix it soon.
