But some people are more open to being proven wrong. There are some who don't mind being challenged so long as at the end of the day they are smarter than they were at the beginning. It doesn't mean that they aren't skeptical, but rather that they are willing to consider the advice of those who have a very different mental model of things.

I think the writer offered excellent advice.

Now, as I said I don't know Stallman, so maybe he responds to 10 of these per month and is just sick of it. But even then, that's not a cool response IMO. If he has defended this before, point to a link or something.
Seems like controversy for controversy's sake. Sure, by mirroring to another region completely, you'd avoid an EBS downtime, but the same could be said for having another provider too. The idea of AWS being you pay less and pay for what you use with the understanding that you can mirror to another AZ in moments to recover from issues.
The pictures that were leaked ( http://www.slashgear.com/nintendo-wii-2-stream-leaks-hd-and-... ) suggest that they are abandoning the Wii motion control scheme altogether.
Why?

By framing it as 'GitHub for Guitarists' I immediately had an idea of what he was trying to do. I doubt that there will be any confusion between My Amp Head and GitHub.

Also, this is suggested by pg himself in <http://ycombinator.com/howtoapply.html>.

Now, I just need to learn how to play a guitar or a bass.
I cant picture how the end result will look, but a decent idea to start with. If I randomly came across this I would at least spend some time checking it out.
> This is very unsexy, toil-y and you don't get promoted for it - and as such barely anyone wants to do it at Google.

I don't think this is google specific. Keeping a dead product on life support is going to get boring for most people after a while.
> 400 million+ phone numbers. 200 million+ US-based valid cell phone numbers.

Sounds like a nightmare in the making for those cell phone users and their carriers when those begin to get SIM jacked.
i imagine another factor to why explaining actions taken would be harder for a unconscious competent person is that the skill of explaining that action is a different one than performing it. but, in the same manner, that skill of explanation also has its own 4 stages of (un)conscious ignorance/competence. interesting stuff for sure
I've been thinking about this as well. it's not only the low barrier to entry, because large scale is still expensive. the problem is public visibility and scrutiny. if I spread false information in a newspaper, everyone can see it and expose the lies. on Facebook, each highly targeted ad will be seen by very few people and is therefore unlikely to be publicly exposed as misinformation.
I really like Paul Stamets, but he suffers from classic hammer syndrome. If I told him I had a broken leg, he'd tell me about a fungi that mends bones.

That being said, skeptics on his fungal research for treatments of numerous diseases should remind themselves that penicillin comes from a fungus, and there's some very legitimate science around psilocybin based cures.

His thoughts on anti-viral fungi helping save bee populations seem very valid, but I'd like to see more peer reviewed research.
From my anecdotal experience, here are the main purposes:

* Hauling stuff from the home improvement and warehouse stores. Single family houses are a bit of work depending on age and when they are not, HGTV is the devil's workshop that invents the work.

* Safety: the feeling that regardless of who is at fault, you will live in a car crash. I have seen plenty of sad news reports where in a truck+car collision, the people in the car paid for it with their lives while the truck driver walked away.

* Status: possible - just don't have enough social understanding to know whether this is still a thing. I can imagine a jacked-up F350 or Silverado may be a status symbol.
Except, that's potentially super slow if the optimiser does not realise what to do. In its default state, it will make two table look ups for each row in table a. So that's 1+N*2 look ups compared to 3 look ups in my example.

For little data, that's probably fine, but for a big database, it will be slow. However, the optimiser may be able to handle that? I know Sybase's and MSSQL's had trouble with it, but I've heard Postgres' might be able to.
There is a lot of noise in the article (like mentioning Rob Pike's take on syntax highlighting), but mostly it seems to be a "I like Rust and Haskell, and don't like Go" type of articles. Could've been a single tweet.

Attempt to explain the dangers of simplicity is lost in vague sentences like "Rust has different concept of simplicity -> Rust authors wanted to protect from memory errors" or TBU (True But Useless) phrases like "every choice has a cost"/"everything is a tradeoff".
That has nothing to do with buying stuff for the memes
I'm not very careful with what I buy. If you cook from scratch, it's really cheap. You don't have to change your diet or anything.

Snacks can be a bit more expensive, but it's still (literal) peanuts in the budget.

I do shop at Lidl, and I do pick the store brand most of the time. However, I don't consciously try to save money on groceries. Good food is good living.
Excellent point, and one that I think many of us forget.

Also wanted to add that reputation and trust are extremely important in the hardware business (and the retail software business). Many people can buy Apple's next thing without doing much or any research about it, and without having to wait for reviews because they trust that Apple wouldn't subject them to a piece of crap, due to their track record. This is not something that can be said about many other companies, and it's an extremely valuable asset.

It also feeds their ability to create the "Reality Distortion Field".
Peeve: serf comes from the latin "servus", meaning slave.
Then the CEO made the change too.
As long as they're there by free will and not silent peer pressure, great for them. Otherwise, condolences.
a system which would allow doctors to give a list of symptoms and have the most likely diagnostics listed by probability

Oh, good. Seems every episode of House I watched would contain a scene that began with, "Differential diagnosis for shoulder pain, go!" And then they'd spend ten minutes listing off all the diseases that could cause it. And I'd spend ten minutes thinking "You people really need a database."
Selling a feature that is known to not work is "insane". Nearly every time I've bought a gadget on the expectation that someday it was going to be great (Nokia N800, I'm looking at you), I've been disappointed.

Apple ships completed projects, many companies ship promises they never intend to fulfill.
I interpreted the letter more as a fleshing-out of the previous letter than a personal attack on the unenthusiastic Boy Scout.
VIII? That's not a word, it's a number.

Or, more accurately, it's a representation of a number using characters which happen to be letters of the alphabet.
You really think that your productivity has risen more than 10% every year? Do you have any numbers to back that up? I know you use a ticket tracking system. You can add up all your completed story points, by year, pretty easily. If you're really getting 10% better every year, consistently, it should be easy to ask for a bigger raise.

My experience is that developers don't increase their value as fast as they increase their pay.
If you look closely at the source for the charts, most don't actually show what the author purports them to show. For instance, the first chart actually references a tropical average rather than a global average -- and it's well-known that warming seems greater closer to the poles than close to the equator.

That said, the title is arguably correct. Because there's no good agreed-upon definition on what it means to be the "hottest year on record", such a claim is not especially scientific.
I started thinking of tinder for ideas... And I like funny gifs haha
This. I use lunchtime as more of a time to break away from the office and reset, rather than to eat (though, I eat too).

In situations where I had a private office, I was more receptive to socializing with my coworkers.
This is hardly an original insight: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-uber-makes-its-drivers-pay-...

And WSJ's survey (above) indicates that many Uber drivers are not actually aware that this is where the money is effectively coming from.
For several hundred years, Christians could hardly have been considered victors other than in the sense that they survived under often severe persecution by pagans and by the the Roman state.

A foundational element of Christian faith is the the truth claims contained in what is now the Bible. If the Bible is not true, then there is no basis for Christian faith.

You can probably read the New Testament within a week without trying too hard. If you do, you'll see several claims to be the objective truth of the matters it reports on.
The strategy you suggest is clearly good, but the percentage of people who can afford to think beyond ‘if the car breaks down I need some money’ and imagine a retirement is probably smaller than we both think.
One has to execute functions from base.js^1 to modify the "n" URL parameter and the "sig" parameter to get the fastest download speeds. (One can still download videos with the original n parameter, or without the n parameter, but download speeds will be slower.)

By itself, using the ANDROID API instead of the WEB API^2 does nothing to affect download speeds. I can block yt-dlp's POST request indicating the client and API name and this has no effect on download speed.

A website that forces users to run Javascript in order to get faster download speeds. This is not a new idea.

Not really. A battery that can last longer at a given operation rate also means you could, for example, charge it faster or draw bigger loads.
After Trump was elected, I started checking Fox News regularly (my go-to's are the BBC and NPR). On the whole, I think it's been informative as to how others perceive the world. It was definitely interesting when their tone shifted on the election outcome.
> Imagine the social media response

No, this is a key difference between the sides of this issue. The people in DC aren’t looking for a response on social media - they’re looking for a response in real life, with arms if necessary. I think they may well get it this time, too.

The Left doesn’t seem to realize the table stakes are different with this.
Fair enough. Sorry if my reply was too hostile.

The UX was, well, Marmite at best but they solved the real issues - porting the OS to Qualcomm SOC (instead of the discontinued TI OMAP) and adding 4g support.
Even if they didn't vote, Trump and Pence get fired at 12pm on Jan 20th, and Pelosi becomes president.

The only way for Trump to remain president past 12pm Jan 20th is for the joint session to declare him president.
> The short squeeze happened two weeks ago when the stock ballooned from $20 to $480

Almost certainly not. We will learn, in time, how much of the run was shorts closing out and how much of it was momentum.

Keep in mind, too, that most institutional short sellers hedge their risk with out of the money calls. Given the increase in volatility, those calls would have more than covered the short losses.
Yeah, I much prefer the macOS approach. You can get everywhere with the keyboard, too.

- cmd-tab to jump through apps (release tab and then press q to quit the selected app, nice convenience)

- cmd-` (tilde) to loop through windows of the same app - this is a thing a lot of people don't realize you can do

Keyboard control over dialogs has gotten a lot better, too.

I use an app called sizeup to tile/position windows on screen and it is wonderful. It will remember different monitors too so that you can easily rearrange everything when docking/undocking a laptop.
Looking at the examples in the doc. That’s just tuple/list unpacking in Python. Am I misreading it?
Such simple, but informative guides should be how official documentations should be written.
On Mac I always install Shift it for window management. However, it works via keyboard only. I prefer to still be able to move windows to the edge of the screen without them getting tiled immediately.
Really appreciate this perspective - couldn't agree more and you framed it eloquently. Thanks!
Before getting any hardware for such a keyboard, I worked on the configuration I'd use. Defining the layers and placing all the keys I wanted.

I initially though I wanted more keys, but as I went I found out I wouldn't use them. It made a lot more sense to have a couple of layers on the thumbs and place all I needed around the rest position. In the end I had nothing important to put on extra keys.
Must feel amazing to have so much faith that the justice system will hold those in power accountable for anything
I think it's perfectly fine to see this on HN. Much better than endless TSA stories around Thanksgiving. Unlike these it actually provides some interesting detailed information about something from a person with intimate knowledge of the matter, with minimal amount of opinion.

And instead of endless anger and frustration it seems to generate healthy debate of whether some of the details seem appropriate, or at least makes reader think how would they cope with situation.
That reporter was too annoying to watch. I recoiled in horror every time she asked an aggressively offensive question, and I can't tell if that's a particularly forced accent or a speech impediment.

I liked the Vice Magazine video myself:

I don't see this as Pandora's box, in part because we've already got that; I think you have a bad feeling about this because you're insufficiently worried about things that are actually really scary: cancer, heart disease, HIV, malaria, and so on.
But doesn't take two minutes to load a page.
Lesson learned: Short selling should be regulated.
I am more interested in how to save memory to disk and restart...
I've been watching the car industry for a few years now, and I'm still waiting for an "Apple" to emerge.

Give Tesla a few years
I like to support Mozilla and I know they need funds... But don't mess with my interface. This is a bad bad move.
@logn cites a couple links explaining how CryptoLocker worked[1].

Each file gets its own key, and those keys are stored on the victim's computer, encrypted with a single key.

DeCryptoLocker can defeat the encryption and restore your files[2].

Symantec says CryptoWall similarly uses public-key encryption with a 2048-byte key[3], but no indication if it can be defeated like CryptoLocker was.

It depends on the depth of the comment and other things. If you really want to reply to something, click the permalink and make your reply there. It's an attempt to restrict huge deep trees.
Is that definitely true? Permethrin sets off the explosive detectors?
Yes, title is definitely misleading. He's not even announcing new modules (both are available for about half year now), he just announced massive performance boost in them.
Ive been using the final build for two weeks and been having a mail issue. I use the mail client to receive and send my Gmails. Many times the count number even after checking my mail remains and the count is wrong due me seeing in the mail client phantom emails with no content. Also it does not do search well returns no results at times but when I go to gmail on web search works fine. Hope they fix this a bit annoying.
So you picks your horses and you takes your chances.
We use Gremlin for some of the more complicated stuff as well.
I've never heard of Alice.com until today. Incidentally, I feel the same way about most of the "shuts down" posts that manage to make the front page.
This is just one of the many issues with Google products these days.

I dread using anything from Google because of the confusing accounts mess, the language and localization chaos, the forced de-anonimization, the consistent ignoring of explicitly set preferences and the countless bugs in all of those.

The way I feel about using Google services today mirrors how I felt about Windows a decade ago. You start out trying to accomplish a simple task, like doing a search or watching a video, end you end up spending minutes jumping through all kinds of hoops.
>Calling Trois-Rivières "Three Rivers" is as weird as calling San Fransisco "Saint Francis".

Is it really _as weird_ as calling SF Saint Francis? This link would suggest that the name "Three Rivers" exists at least in some capacity

http://www.cqsb.qc.ca/MyScriptorWeb/scripto.asp?resultat=253...

And the Wiki article says

>Traditionally, Trois-Rivières was referred to in English as Three Rivers

although it then goes on to say that this is becoming less and less common.

Edit: and a completely irrelevant but somewhat interesting piece of information, the city's inhabitants are called Trifluvians. I say interesting because the fluv- part obviously comes from the other French word for river, fleuve, rather than the one used in the actual name of the city, rivièr.
Just signed up. This is literally exactly what I want.

The only thing I'd add is that I hope at some point down the line there's some level of customization (even the ability to add an external stylesheet.) For this kind of thing, I'm much more attracted to the backend than the frontend, and the ability to tinker with fonts and what not is important to me.
I was in the same boat until I ran into a problem that was perfectly solved by promises. Took a while to get to that point, though.
Can you back that up, or at least name that ISP?
If you are having fake security like de-mail I'd rather sent my official stuff for the authorities with traditional postal mail than this.
I agree, but we have never done so.
I don't agree with your opinion, but I love your last line.
Actually, evolution is almost entirely dominated by selection at the individual level, with a modicum of kin selection thrown in. The notion that selection acts at other levels is highly speculative (I wrote a novel based on the idea, but it's the purest kind of speculative fiction: http://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Theorem-TJ-Radcliffe-ebook/dp/...)
Yes, but this is not the sole hyperloglog
I'm nowhere close, roughly 10:30 to 7:45. But judging from e-mail and other activity, I think half my team is shifted about two hours earlier.
That alternative isn't even plausible. Hosts have no practical way to determine whether the users own or have licensed the content they post so it makes no sense to impose liability on them. The realistic alternative is the CDA safe harbor which has no takedown procedure. If you have e.g. a libel claim you have to go after the actual poster.

It also isn't clear whether they would even have any liability without the safe harbor, because it was put into place early enough that we don't really know what happens without it. But you don't generally expect the Post Office to be liable for what people send in the mail.
I'm working on WebbPSF, a tool to simulate PSFs for the Webb instruments. I'm also adapting it for WFIRST, a future mission. It's going to be kind of like TinyTim is for Hubble when it's done.
Depends on the definition of "signed up". 99% of them may have signed up for the free 10 text message trial. Without knowing the conversion from signup to paid, retention rates, and so on it could be either wildly profitable or losing money.
By greatest marketing concept you mean a quick and easy way to make money, yeah? I wouldn't be so hard on yourself for not having thought of it. Personally, I believe humanity would be at a net gain had no one thought of or executed on this idea.
Unidentified Flying Object =/= aliens.

It could be one of many phenomena that we don't know much or anything about (for example, ball lightning).
This could happen in the U.S. as well. Our esteemed politicians and federal police have proposed a new law with exactly the same approach. I disclosed some of these efforts in this 2012 article:

"The FBI general counsel's office has drafted a proposed law...requiring that social-networking Web sites and providers of VoIP, instant messaging, and Web e-mail alter their code to ensure their products are wiretap-friendly. 'If you create a service, product, or app that allows a user to communicate, you get the privilege of adding that extra coding'"
http://www.cnet.com/news/fbi-we-need-wiretap-ready-web-sites...

Here's another article from 2006 talking about Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colorado). She had originally proposed legislation imposing data retention requirements on ISPs, but then wanted to extend it to Facebook, Xanga, MySpace, etc. (to be fair, Rs have made similar proposals):
http://news.cnet.com/Congress-targets-social-networking-site...

I can't easily find the link to another piece I wrote, but DOJ/FBI reps have also talked about including photo-sharing sites. This is in addition to the FBI wanting to force ISPs to keep track of every web site that customers visit (not just IPs assigned):
http://www.cnet.com/news/fbi-wants-records-kept-of-web-sites...

So far these proposals have not become law, meaning that the types of companies well-represented here on HN don't have to keep records of their users' activities for future police access. I've been critical of AT&T/VZ/Comcast/etc. over surveillance here before, but I'll give them credit for this: Those of us working on social/email/etc. startups aren't targeted by all these regulations today because of ISPs' defensive DC efforts over many years. They're doing it because of self-interest, true, but the spillover effect is real.
I'm building a SPA with a REST backend, and I don't think there's anyway around this. It seems fundamentally if you are exposing your API over HTTP, then it will be accessible. All of my API actions are behind an authentication and authorization layer, but they are still unavoidably accessible once a user has authenticated. Similarly I can write a standalone client that logs in to Facebook and then do whatever I want with the data returned to me over HTTP.
Don't get me wrong, what Canonical has done here also isn't good. But what they've done shouldn't have been possible because Microsoft shouldn't have given Canonical the information in the first place.
why not, your browser or operating system remembers all your logins for you
Remote with Java works great via SSH for me. With attached debugger to app servers, code completion, and all that. I have literally 0 problems with remote development.

It's unbelievable how good VSCode is.
I think the question is not if you *can* work that many hours but if you *should* do it.

Ofc there will be a minority of people that perhaps even enjoy it, but the vast majority is gonna suffer serious mental health issues.
Not to mention that, as others pointed out, some people like to have a life outside of work.
If you work 60 hours a week you either don't sleep much or your life is just working and sleeping.
Except we are talking about licencing here, not buying. If one likes it or not, buying of physical or non-physical goods has long been very different (I'm not supporting it, but it's the reality.)
Up until a few years ago, something similar used to happen when you bought a TV set here in Sweden.

If you bought one, your information was shared with the entity ("Radiotjänst") in charge of collecting the mandatory TV fee (funding public service radio and TV programming).

The fee is now collected as tax instead, so that's no longer the case.
