Seriously, if they created an ecosystem and allowed 3rd party apps on there, that could sprout some really cool stuff like games that might even convince me to get one of those bikes. But yeah, it'd be a challenge to make that as profitable as their current business model.
For me, it's about ten to a thirty times a day when I'm working on defining and redefining Lisp classes. And I lose completely no program state in the process.
Can you think of any sitting president instigating a protest nevermind directing their ire at specific people (one of those tweets specifically targeted Mike Pence) and buildings (telling supporters to march down to the capital).

Anyone could see this was the most likely outcome of Trump's behaviour. I can't see how anyone could honestly argue otherwise.
Yeah, that's it. I'm not saying that because the author he uses underscores he's a bad programmer and everything he makes is rubbish.

All I'm saying is that I would use that as one of many signals to judge the library and see if I'm interested/able to use it.
Ai Weiwei isn't living in our future, he's living in an actual totalitarian-ish nationstate.

The degree to which there's this encouraged ignorance to what the Chinese government is all about is the story which is of greater concern here: they're never not been a brutal regime, they're just a trade partner now so the narrative has shifted.

What they do, and what they can do isn't enabled by technology. It's enabled by the simple political and military will to actually kick in doors and arrest and execute people.

You want to not live in that world? Then you inform people why the no-fly list is stupid, for a start. How such a list is distributed, generated or updated is irrelevant.
Number of lines of code can be used as a (very) rough metric for complexity; expressing the same application in more lines of code may mean that the new implementation is a bit more complex, harder to work with, more to review, etc.

Of course, this is quite a rough metric; some languages are much denser per line (like APL/J/K and others in that family), so it's definitely not an absolute rule. But it can be interesting to compare a direct port of a reasonably complicated application from one language to another, to see how the abstractions in each language hold up; just like it can be interesting to compare the speed when porting from one language to another, even though there are plenty of caveats there too.
Time constraints are also an important factor as to how a team can potentially function under different conditions.
Racket has loads of libraries and I used it happily for a long time for automating everyday tasks (recently I switched to Python since we use it at work and I needed to learn it.)
In typical bullheaded fashion, all of China is set to Beijing time. No wonder the people in the East are trying to revolt!
Well, of course an ecosystem as it exists in a given moment in time relies on a "delicate balance". But the fact is that all ecosystems change. Migration, and population change are the norm, stasis is the exception. It requires contextualization to define a particular change as "harmful" or "beneficial". In reality ecosystems will adapt, as they've done for millions upon millions of years. Perhaps we humans will find that the new, adapted ecosystem is less to our liking in some way but it will still generally be viable.
They are thinking that they are making a somewhat cheaper device for people who don't have the capacity to lose respect for a corporation over a lack of ad-targeting.

I'm pretty sure they're right.
First game I watched and I was expecting stalemate, but down to just a pawn (f2) and a king (b3), white checkmated the opposing king (at b1) by promoting the pawn to a queen
Exactly. Also in a small business all the risk and aggravation falls squarely on the owners shoulders with no way (or reason anyway) to blame anyone. Not anywhere near like simply writing a check and getting a new refrigerator delivered. Not unheard of either (not this example but others) where an owner will feel loyalty to employees who are operating the machines and/or feel that they have to keep them around for other jobs that they do anyway.
How about their MBaaS? I'm a fan of their Datastore API.
Would welcome Dropbox expanding their apps ecosystem support.
Besides Rust and Zig, you might want to check out Vlang and Odin, who are in the same category.
When I need to travel to an international conference around the world, I'm usually severely jet lagged and tired anyway. I bet people would mostly rather stay up late or get up early in order to get to speak to others synchronously.
The last actual code change was jan 2. Still closer to one month than two, though.
Chick Corea has Returned to Forever, what a pity.

Crystal Silence, Spain, so many good memories.
That sounds terrible. I feel like I'd get nausea or dizzy. Thats essentially driving in a circle 20 times.

Itd be okay if there were 2 mid level cross connections
Yes, I agree, but...

When that tribe has externalities to their behavior that harm members of my tribe, is when it gets rough. (I want you to stop putting mercury in my drinking water, endangering my drinking water with your oil pipeline, I want you to wear a mask to reduce my chance of infection, etc etc etc.)
Also Jim was almost certainly the one doing the interviewing, so there’s likely something interesting in there that he felt was worth his time.
That has crossed my mind actually, bring me back to my youth. Just seeing the screenshot of win98 on pcem gave me strong nostalgia.
> But the data isn't so clear.

While I am not going to answer your questions, I am very careful when it comes to comparing data across countries.

There are enough open questions when it comes to interpreting the data from a single country (a very common being selection bias, as it is unclear what the preconditions are for conducting a test and I am still missing the numbers of how many tests have been conducted).

However, when I look across countries, there are some very odd curves, which I have a hard time to explain. I find it much more likely that in some countries someone manipulated the data (by whatever means). I still think the data is valuable, but when interpreting it, it should be considered, that not all data is 100% valid.
Not believing he's a Kremlin agent without evidence isn't making excuses for him.
That is not true at all. Browser extensions are written in JavaScript, so the source code can be inspected before installation or at runtime (Debuggers are present in major browsers). It might be the same as running a script or binary without looking at it first but it's not the same as just running a compiled proprietary binary.
They don’t mind which gmail account I use. I work at a university so we don’t have gsuite. I guess it’s a good idea to use a separate account for this but I don’t want to create yet another google account.
I was being honest.

If you're reimplementing Java, this project isn't going to take you very far and it's probably not the optimal approach.
According to Kim Zetter's reporting, Brown's communications with Stratfor had the overt effect of concealing Jeremy Hammond's involvement, so much so that he was charged with obstructing the investigation, not simply for being a spokesperson. His assistance was allegedly material, not moral.
This comment reads as if I thought torture should go unpunished.
I'd still like to know what Apple is going to do with PrimeSense. Thanks to that purchase, I have to rely on used Kinects for all of my depth sensing needs.
so, this is my point. your assumption is wrong. very, very, obviously wrong. that isn't at all the meaning of the word "banker" in finance. and it's not "my" use of the word. it's the broadly used / accepted / understood meaning. and they aren't small percentages. the percentage they receive for making deals is published, look it up. banker != trader != portfolio manager, etc.

also, i didn't say they weren't likable. generally they are very likable. and i didn't say they don't know what they are doing. they know very well what they're doing.
Trying really hard to just plain get laid is a self defeating quest because you'll probably creep people out in the process and make them not trust you enough to share their experiences (much less their sexuality) with you.

If that's the stage you're at, creeping people out, and making people not trust you enough to share their sexuality with you, getting laid is probably a worthwhile thing to practice.

The real reason getting laid is a self-defeating quest - It's very hard to get laid by people you find very attractive. By the time you're good enough at getting laid to get laid with people you find very attractive now, they won't be attractive to you anymore because you've become a lot more attractive than they are. When you're too good at it you can hardly find anyone you could fall in love with, because your expectations have become sky high.

It's worthwhile to get to know the fundamental principles anyway, for those special nights when you want to engage in some special moments between you and your wife/girlfriend, you get how to do the "dance". Being good at this aspect of a relationship makes the relationship that much stronger.

Because that's what you get better at every time you're getting laid. As with everything, more deliberate practice will result in more skill.
That's IT!

Thank you for reminding me.

I totally agree, we hear so much negativity his approach to showing how humanity in general is better off today than any time in the past is encouraging.

We play a little game called: Get the mouse! Get the mouse!

Great fun. Fortunately she is rubbish at actually catching the mice. Eventually they fall for peanut butter in a live trap where they are lovingly relocated to the railroad right of way where they either freeze to death or are eaten by foxes.
Hmm I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. I've known just about as many people who would say this seriously as would sarcastically...

[My experience with Dell has been quite mixed...I have the impression they used to make fairly reliable machines, but recently not so much.]
I still have the computer too! (Sinclair ZX Spectrum+)
Perhaps Wired is only releasing those parts of the logs that they are able to find some corroboration for. Considering the Salon author's prior poorly researched reporting on Manning, the idea of actually checking on things before publishing may be alien to him.
If the class he's calling "Suckers", in between the Rich and the Majority, includes Scott Adams -- as he says it does -- then I can't help thinking that this is just the old, familiar gambit where rich people try to redefine a term like "middle class" to include themselves, so that they can portray self-interest as looking out for the poor beleaguered middle classes.
This is the first time I've heard of Greenwald. I don't read Salon regularly. However the occasional article I have read has been decent.
I haven't used, but PhoneGap seems to offer something similar:

AirBnB's first acquisition? Seriously though, this is my new list of San Francisco date ideas: http://www.vayable.com/bay_area
I don't have the greatest of impressions of OVH either, though I didn't have any problems during my short period trying out hubiC.

That said, I'd rather have my backups on many cheap providers than on a single expensive one. There are inherent risks in relying on a single company.
Depends on how you define "wrong". The S stands for secure, that's been pounded into people's heads. HTTP 1 and 2 are miles apart and get the same protocol marker. So a secure connection with TLS gets shown as HTTPS, and an insecure connection with TLS gets shown as HTTP.
I wrote a blog post defending GMOs awhile back, with examples of non-Monsanto GMOs that have saved papayas in Hawaii, promise to deliver food to Africa, and improve nutrition. The thing many people don't realize is that all food is GMO. There are no such things as tomatoes, peaches, apples, or corn in nature. These are all products of just a few thousand years of selective breeding. With GMOs, we are also constantly performing a massive ongoing experiment involving over 100 billion livestock animals, and livestock farmers have seen no deleterious effects in the health of their products:

That would be infinitely better than the Faux News sponsored one we are actually in.

It's very simplistic. ADHD is not only problem with just focusing, there are many other symptoms. And yes it's hard to diagnose if someone is lying, but if someone is honest then there are many easy to spot patterns. And I think most honest people do not go for meds just because of work-related problems. ADHD cause problems in every aspect of life.
>This comes with downsides around dicking around with trying to jam every part of the computation into the type system (not unlike C++ template meta programming).

Those people dicking around with C++ templates make the whole project slower to compile and more difficult to understand though. I don't really know anybody that can easily read the finished template magic that you need to achieve anything meaningful in C++. Something which I think is not so much the case with using a good type system fully.
Xojo Web works well for me. It's transitioning into API 2.0 right now. Some are disappointed but for RAD, it's pretty good.
I've seen it fail as well, an old friend had some rather intimate pictures leaked. They sank a lot of money into suppressing them but ultimately it seems to be a fruitless endeavour.
They didn't say it was specific to Haskell, the wording was "than most other languages".

My intuition is that they are right. More powerful and fitting tools with a higher learning curve attract different kinds of people than stuff that is tailored for the mainstream.

There are also pragmatists who are extremely smart and capable and choose to deepen their expertise in Java (for example). But at _first glance_ it says more about a person if they are proficient in a specialized language than a mainstream one.
> astrology, cryptocurrencies/NFTs/etc

they are eating rather a lot of the experts; there was prior concern here on HN (if I remember correctly) about the negative effects that has on the Haskell community as a whole if most talented devs work on virtual beanie babies. I think, because the crypto communities are putting so much money into formal verification and dsl writing advantages, it is good for the whole.
FWIW Arm still files accounts in the UK (apparently for the Group).

I don't understand the meaning of this response. You seem to be suggesting that all memories are in the limbs. I don't think that's what was being suggested here.

Trying to stay within what I think you are saying, don't forget that if you amputate some insect's legs, they will keep flicking around for a while, even though there is no connection to the brain. Surely the insect doesn't suddenly forget how to move it's now missing leg. But the leg does seem to have its own capacity to remember how to jump or whatever even without the brain. Until it runs out of energy, of course.
Cool! Looks fun. What exactly is open source on the site? Is it the recipes? If so, then what license do they use? Is there any disclaimer of that on submission?

I'm not dissing, just making sure your ducks are in a row. It's a fun idea!
We just released themeing in the past few weeks, so there's definitely more options than there used to be! We'd love to get any additional feedback about the types of customizations you'd like to see.
I want what you want, yet how can society reward the work involved in creating a turnkey version of such, other than through the standard capitalist selfinterested paradigm?
I guess there are some users who expect something in this vein after seeing it in whatsapp or imessage? Still, bundling some unstable opaque cryptocurrency to it instead of just normal money seems a bit disingenuous.

Or they want to become WeChat.
Ok, but if you have a coworker who's going to maliciously overload operators to behave differently than expected, then all bets are off and you have much bigger problems than how to check for null.
You know I'm not saying that. ;P

That's just how it winds up working there.
Apple should be officially supporting this project and turn it into an independent, but full-time gig. If the maintainers decline, Apple should hire someone to manage their own.
Is there a way you can continue to teach in some capacity?
I'm doing something similar with a NUC that I colocated. $27/month for a gigabit port + 5 IPv4 addresses, and it's far more powerful than any VPS I could get for the same amount of money.

It was a little bit of work to set it up initially, but now I maybe spend 30 minutes a month making sure things are updated. Hosting my own wiki, DNS over HTTPS server, Matomo analytics, and a few other random services.
Very good point, and a poor choice of words on my part.

OTOH, there are companies now that can handle mainframe SaaS ( outsourcing your mainframe apps). Huge gains for companies that want to take the leap and dismantle their mainframes.
What I tried to capture in this interview is Tim's belief that you can get 80% results with 5% effort. And that the other 95% effort (or whatever the %) is either the facetime that we feel we must put in to feel we earned our result, or an attempt at perfection.

I'm not sure I agree with him completely, but my goal in the interviews is to learn, not to argue for "my side."

My other goal here was to find out how he identifies that 5% that gets outsized results. The salient part of his answer was that he find people who achieve freakish results, then he mimics their approach.

(If you read those last 2 sentences, you may not have to listen to my hour-long interview, which strengthen's Tim's 80%/5% message.)
I'd like to see the textures applied to the common red and white. Perhaps the hospital colors can be used while not feeling like you're in a hospital.
I don't really see why we should try to be indpendant in energy rather than copper or cars or anything else. Trade and specialization are important and its only nationalism to want to try to produce everything in one's own country. Now if you're saying that we shouldn't be dependant on the the particular countries that now produce oil I might agree, but what would be wrong with the US being dependant on Mexican solar energy or Brazilian sugarcane?
If you are building almost any type of company today, it makes no sense to build your own datacenter.

Except for when it _does_ make sense.

I'm starting a project at my company to add a single server in-house, and move some data storage away from Amazon S3. This will save us thousands of dollars a month -- the payback period for the project is 3 months. (!) That includes the engineering cost to set up the new server. This particular project is compelling because we don't need S3's other advantages, we just need raw storage.

Moral: Don't be dogmatic about decisions in your business. Just weigh the pros and cons (including cost) carefully.
i'm definitely working on more unique gifts for females. sorry for the generic gifts.
The following might be rubbish, but it also might be very relevant: http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/18

Remember, this is the country whose government argued "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion" actually meant "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion or we deem them a terrorist"...
Back in November I spent a lot of time trying to get an A+ for my site throwpass.com. I couldn't get forward secrecy to work and found several places saying node.js doesn't support it. So I ended up forwarding through nginx.
Maybe you should show the same thing on every device? Like Your App here blabla. These triangular patterns caught my attention and I though you were selling wallpapers or something for a second haha :D Actually they would make pretty nice wallpapers.
You should temper that first sentence with an 'only'.
Sure, HN has particular implicit ideological biases. Many a good faith comment has been censored (i.e. [flagged]/[dead]) for challenging those biases.
I feel maybe too much is being read into the word "experiment". I meant it in a hypothesis-action-result sense.

Every action taken by every govt was in effect an experiment since nothing of this sort had occurred in living memory, and past instances occurred in a very different world.

In SA there was a hypothesis that reducing the burden on the health sector was a priority, and that a significant contributing factor to hospital load was alcohol, hence limiting alcohol consumption (via limiting sales) was worth testing.

The experiment upheld the hypothesis, but at the same time highlighted negative impacts on the alcohol sector as a whole. To determine the best hospital outcome, while balancing industry requirements, a number of approaches short of an outright ban were tested. These outcomes will likely influence policy moving forward and equally provide important data for the next time hospitals need to be protected in this way.

New Zealand experimented with a sealed border, and eradication approach (successful), Australia did the same with somewhat less success. Again the impacts of those policies can be studied for sometime to come.

The opposite of these experiments was to experiment by doing nothing (Sweden for example) - even doing nothing was an experiment.

I'm not saying covid was fun, or that the very real human cost should be minimised, but clearly some countries fared better than others. Being able to understand why that is the case will be really important next time.
I love that URL.
That's exactly what they do at the Apple store, and they don't seem to be hurting for business
How could everybody who wants self owned real estate actually get real estate.

I guess it's usually an infrastructure problem.
Plots are cheap in locations with bad infrastructure so the solution could also be to get infrastructure wherever you want.
Any possibility of adding this kind of functionality to libotr?
If you overlap Elon Musks behavior (or a number of quite famous musicians) with ADHD diagnosis charts, you’re going to have a fun time.

Like most things, we celebrate the high functioning folks and denigrate those who aren’t. Kids are also expected to fall in line and be easy to manage, and those that aren’t get medicated.
Europe isn't going to be happy about getting targeted twice in a day by the us. First for charging a digital tax and now for having low corporate tax. I think this kind of thing will drive apart NATO if the level of hostility continues.
Already many crimes go unpunished, you’re proposing that nearly all “petty” crimes be consequence-free just think for a second how much worse Seattle or SF would get if the police arrested even fewer criminals and even fewer ppl would prosecuted for theft and home invasions?

What you’re suggesting is a total breakdown in societal norms bec you see a problem and don’t understand the root cause so you just want to treat one symptom. Why not take some time to understand the root cause instead, and come up with a solution that doesn’t have immediately worse outcomes for literally all of the rest of society.
