I agree with you. Cosmo's Makefile is hermetically sealed and it works on every LInux distro. I don't do development on any other platform. I wanted a way to write my code on Linux be able to target other systems without ever having to use those systems tools. However I believe in supporting the development use cases other people have too! That's why there's the binary releases. You can take the .h and .a file and use any compiler / os for dev you want. But you can't use the Apple Linker.
We need to re-decentralize the web
The difference does not need to be always in the same direction.
A week is a subset of eventually, so technically the statement is true.

On a serious note - the article mentions repeatedly that many of the techniques can be trivially defeated. The main purpose of the article was to highlight some interesting, unique properties of PhantomJS that most people are not aware of (e.g. stack trace analysis).

Please don't do this here. Your comment becomes much better if you simply take out that rude bit.
> AWS has to think of everyone.

Sure. That's why you make it optional. And configurable in a way

But at a very basic idea, blocking new services from being started and throttling of existing ones would go a long way in helping. A very long way.
That’s awesome. I did have a brief look at using the half rate GSM codec and I got it running. But it did take almost all the CPU with not much left over for anything else. The ESP32 does have two cores though so you could have one core dedicated to encoding and put everything else on the other core. The other option I’m looking at is SBC which is supposed to be lightweight. Opus looks very promising.
It is. Its also a security issue - Phone numbers aren't unique. It was interesting seeing signal say my deceased father was 'on signal', it's just the same number recycled to someone else.
Same thing in Spain, many libraries with no cost whatsoever.
Not a great headline. What if I touch thousands of surfaces?

Better (and based on the text): Few SARS-Cov-2 transmissions reported to have been via surface transmission.

And note: However, it is not clear what proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections are acquired through surface transmission. Probably not many.
This sort of possible

> AWS Budgets now allows you to configure actions — responses to cost and usage in your account or set of accounts— that will be applied automatically or via a workflow approval process once a budget target has been exceeded. There are three action types: Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, Service Control policies (SCPs), or target running instances (EC2 or RDS). Actions can be configured for actual (after they’ve occurred) or for forecasted (before they occur) budgeted amounts.

Maybe I’ll start a drama free one.
Unless you think it's a winner-takes-all market that's ripe for the plucking and believe you need to be first to even have a shot at capturing it.
That program looks so simple. Never wrote a program for an Arduino before but I guess its time now.
I think it has less to do with having a large selection and more to do with having the apps you want. I dont care if the app store has 1 trillion apps; I do care if I can't use Gmail and Google Voice.

Also the internet doesn't seem to like IE as much as the WebKit browsers, or at least that was the case before I gave up on WP8. And then there's the lack of a notification pane..
sigh I figured something like this would happen, considering it's being hosted on fairly small-bandwidth webspace.

1) Absolutely not.

2) Are you in a position to change the culture? Doesn't sound like it. Generally only execs can do that, and generally only the CEO.

Being the smartest person in the room, unless you're a C-level executive, is terrible. (And even if you are a C-level executive it's non-optimal.) You're not learning anything. You need to quit.
please note, i said "left the world of finance". i wasn't a banker.

I've sent you an email with the exact file. Cheers.
I looked this up and was not disappointed. Thanks for sharing!

Who/what's there to stop you doing just that, once you have taken "the opportunity to take the money and run"?
Just yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of Dreams, a PS4 entirely visual development tool.

The concept is similar to the UE4's blueprints, but even more visual and with a much more "general" language approach.
(it also combines 3D modeling and music creation in the same editor).

While I think code is faster and more direct, it also require a quite specific type of person to "enjoy" it. Most people don't.

Humans are mostly visual creatures, so that's a great way to approach and create a piece of software, without having to learn an entirely alien dictionary and grammar just to thinker around.
As an FYI I’ve really enjoyed (Austin-based) Matt Risinger’s home building channel on YouTube [1] recently. He often discusses efficient building trends and materials. You think about your R-value much harder when it’s 9°F outside...

that's nice - it would be even better if they paid artists remotely equitably.
T is being assigned a string value that looks like line noise. I assume it's Perl.
Nope, SQL database can split large values over multiple pages so selecting and extra column can mean more dusk IO.
Huh, you're right! The current #500 system [1] consists of 1496 20-core Xeon processors, for a linpack performance of 1316TFLOPS. The GPU of an iPhone 12 is ~800GFLOPS for FP32 on the GPU, which implies that ~1600 iPhone 12's combined are more powerful than this cluster of Xeon's when you look at raw compute power.

The difference is that a Xeon is significantly more flexible than a GPU, though. I cannot find good performance numbers on the A14's CPU, though an estimated guess suggests that it would be more in the order of magnitude of ~10GFLOPS instead of ~800GFLOPS per A14. Or ~100.000 iPhones to match the #500 supercomputer.

Apple sold ~40 million iPhone 11's in 2020, with iPhone 12 sales being ~20% higher than those of the iPhone 11. That's about 10 supercomputers worth of iPhone CPU power sold per week.

The effect is much more muted living somewhere like SF or NYC, because there's a bunch of companies around those areas that pay similarly that you could switch to.

If other high-paying companies started also paying major tech hub wages to anywhere in the US for remote work, then this problem would be similarly alleviated.
I kinda feel for this guy.

Sometimes I feel like we're under the tyrannical yoke of algorithms.

Not modern algorithms that display ads, but like super-simple ones.

E.g. consider a basic rope pulley or some simple gears. Rig some of those up and suddenly it becomes easier to move a weight. Why? Because Work = Force x Distance and you're increasing the distance for the same amount of work so force goes down.

.... okay, I understand the maths, but why does turning a small gear more quickly than the big gear make it easier? Forget the equation that models this for a moment - intuitively my brain does not grok why it gets easier to move something by pulling a bit more rope than usual. Most explanations from the teachers at school was something like "Because physics", but I am still not comfortable understanding intuitively what precisely is going on with the physical forces without just shrugging and and going back to the mathematical model W=F*D ruling our lives without really understanding why.

...so I guess I just have to see the universe in numbers like this guy, and so am also a genius ahead of my time?
I'm surprised no one has put on a hoodie and sledge-hammer the heck out of it.
Any sane ORM will allow you to specify what data you want, and only select that.

I'd argue that using an ORM as default and handcrafting optimized queries for specific edge cases should be the way to go.
If Einstein were around and publishing in today's environment would he not be widely considered a crank? What's a patent clerk doing disputing laws of physics that have been established for 100 years?
Most of the people outside the US would read "food insecurity" as "there's a sizable possibility that one will starve".
Corvettes are mass produced. German ICE import like Porsche is far more likely to hold value.
“ But if you ignore that then the actual advice with regards to math education was pretty solid”

But not new, either. As you say, it (https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11...) is CRT sauce poured over non-controversial advice on teaching.

That, IMO, makes it dangerous, as it associates CRT with things everybody will agree to be good, indirectly instilling (or at least trying to do so) the notion that CRT is good.
No, "it's fast because it's C" doesn't hold. You can write slow code in any language.
When I am on a longer vacation and I do not use a certain password, I struggle remembering it.

If I were chucked into a prison and let out after several years with no computer use in between, I would likely forget all my passwords in the meantime. No brain damage needed, just disuse.
We liked Tengen Tetris so much we "bought" it from Blockbuster by telling them we lost it and paying the fee. We couldn't find it to buy any other way, and now I know why! If they are rare and expensive now I guess that was a good move. I should call my parents and ask if they still have it.
> Luckily, I learnt it by buying a house which appreciated fast and showed what a disaster savings would have been.

The better way to learn this is to be able to look at a graph like this: https://inflationchart.com/spx-in-m3 understand it, and make an informed decision taking in to account your personal risk tolerance.
There are times I wish I could go back to my younger self and explain exactly this. Unfortunately it took me almost a decade as a software engineer before I realized there was a career barrier without being able to communicate effectively when writing or presenting.

It's possible to stay as an average engineer for a long time, but if you want to try being an Architect, then at least 50% of your time is spent writing or public speaking. If you want to be an engineering manager, that's over 90%.

Fortunately a company I used to work for believed pretty strongly in cultivating these "soft skills", so they incentivized things like Tech Talks, and covered the cost of courses like Dale Carnegie.
Yes it is. Some sites take 5-7% on top of processing fees.

"a play on the stereotype" - this makes it humorous, not racist.

Please, please, please, oh dear people. Try to be a little bit less busy with the showdown maquillage of political correctness and overthinking. Putting variables X, Y, Z instead of any real references in this passage would have made it politically correct, but would sterilize the point away from it.

The stereotypes are useful in being able to predictably and easily recreate a vivid image that can give the backdrop for the core message.

This all has nothing to do with Arabs and everything to do with certificates.

Those particularly concerned are welcome recreate the same scenario using the image of the "new-russian" Ivan, a representative of the Russian Business Investment Network.
I think he's attempting to explain that he hasn't actually done anything (maybe loading up some programs, getting reference material together, etc.) and then does something unrelated. I wouldn't bill for that either unless it took a significant portion of time AND I wouldn't have to do it again later.
I think what I'd just like is a JS primer that goes through certain features in the language that could be useful for server-side things, including Node. Especially closures.
"Lighten up, will ya? Why can’t we all enjoy a little racist caricature?"

Everyone deserves a presumption of respect and dignity. I don’t make bigoted caricatures at the expense of others just to make some point about trust and certificates, and I don’t expect other people to enjoy and defend it when someone is ignorant enough to resort to racist caricature.

It’s the whole Ruby sexism debate all over again, I guess.

The feasibility of a challenge to any reigning monetary scheme creates great incentives to bolster its integrity. Lacking integrity, the last resort is of course coercion.
The best quote from the article:

"And it’s good, Tapjoy said, for publishers, who are able to monetize users who wouldn’t otherwise pay."

So basically, Tapjoy admits that developers are paying them to send them users who don't pay for apps... so that they can be monetized by more Tapjoy installs. Pay-per-install is a huge pyramid scheme.
Yes, it's similar to a game loop, but in Node it's called an event loop. All JavaScript code executes in the main thread, with the event loop (libev) coordinating asynchronous IO APIs, the thread pool, and signal handlers. Node continues executing until there are no more pending operations, then exits.

Most IO in Node doesn't require additional threads; it uses libeio for asynchronous IO on POSIX systems (I believe they're currently working on an abstraction for asynchronous IO in POSIX and Windows).

It does need to use the thread pool for IO operations that only have a blocking API (stat() and friends, legacy database libraries, etc). The blocking API call is executed in a separate thread so the main thread is never blocked on IO.

This is a bit of a (necessary) hack, and ideally all IO could be done using non-blocking APIs.
That's pretty simple. You mentioned much, much more complex stuff.
I'm sorry to tell you that, but maybe you should think about remote work? If you can work on the road, why not stay at home completely?

Sure, doesn't work for everbody and every job, but if more companies would allow remote, work many people would live better lifes! :)
You see you just cut off your whole market. There is no possible way to find someone in their 20's that meets your specs. Also it is really ageist. Look for what you want not the age.
My guess is that he turns "possible strategic plan for 110k layoffs over the next five years starting in January 2015" into "110k layoffs in January 2015."
I feel lucky like yourself of being in one of the divisions with massive growth.

I don't think people appreciate the size and breadth of IT IBM does, my "tiny" division of security if an independent company would be the 3rd biggest Security vendor in the market.
Us-versus-them antagonism doesn't often trigger thoughts about centralization, except among specific kinds of people I expect represent themselves disproportionately here on HN.

I'm seeing a lot of talk about standing up competing platforms. I'm seeing a lot of talk about destroying incumbents, as through antitrust. I'm seeing some promotion of specific, arguably decentralized, alternatives. But the more successful of those do a lot to hide "decentralized" as an implementation detail, since so few potential users understand, much less care.
What's a national secret?
Well, a habitat with propulsion in space is itself a deterrent.
Imagine if HN was not allowed to moderate its posts. They give a wider berth to comments than they need to, including some I have made (apologies and thank you hn). But I can't imagine I would want to be here if Trump's post were an unfiltered part of the experience.

edit: and to be clear the thing I am most disappointed in my comments is the brevity. I am disappointed in myself the most for making terse comments.
It really is truly hilarious and baffling.
You should at least give an example to such a claim.
Well of course they can, it’s just legal.

And odd example to pick since it seems like he was a suspect in smuggling? That alone is enough to detain anyone.
/me wonders how old you are.
Thanks. We're still working through the kinks in the PHP but we're confident this will be smoothed out soon. We wanted to get something up there that people could start using right away.
When I see more significant venture capitalists in Portland (or SF VCs willing to invest in Portland based startups), I'd move within days.

-- Software Engineer in SF
I don't want to say anything against Patrick or other consultancy oriented entrepreneurs, but I'd just put up a price on the saas app and be done with it and move on with the next thing. I'm functionality-oriented, create a lot of functions that automate work and let the product sell itself.

It might be a little foolish and leaving money on the table but I just think more and more code is better than more and more marketing. Software should eat the world, and as fast as possible.
They have been working (very hard) on this for 4 years. If that's a shortcut, what is a long cut?
If he had remained anonymous, the naysayers would have called him a coward. By revealing himself, he's labelled a narcissist.
Indeed, this is far different than just a left/right thing.

Assange, for instance, has been pushing a lot of these disclosures but he is not a leftist. He denies climate change, opposes unions (and social entitlements in general) and says the best politicians in the U.S. Congress are in the libertarian wing of the G.O.P.

Note that I'm not trying to denigrate his political views... just agreeing with you that it's not as simple as left-wing/right-wing. Just because you believe in 'no secrets' doesn't mean you believe in the workers controlling the means of production.
He reliably set off the chemical detectors. We can assume that earns anyone additional scrutiny.

So the claim here seems to be that he received too much additional scrutiny because of his background. This certainly seems plausible, but he's not the first person to miss their plane due to the TSA either.

But unless we know how people of other backgrounds are scrutinized after they set off the chemical detectors are traveling alone, we can't conclude that he was racially or religiously profiled.

Even still, this is a substantially reduced claim and none of it really supports the conclusion "Don't fly during Ramadan".
Yes but that changes the real difference between conversion rates of A and B. Even though trend won't get affected but actual numbers will. Not that serious but given that this problem is easily avoidable one may want to not announce the test.
No, because Google is not /restricting/ it. They're using the advanced features, not being bouncers deciding who to let into their party or not based on the color of their shirt.
Steve Jobs was 30 when he was pushed out from Apple. He was 28 when he asked John Sculley to take over the CEO seat. Probably because people told him to "step down".
To quote directly from the above link:

I can't believe the DIY'ers really think BP is filing their submissions anywhere but the "circular file".

However sometimes when I watch the "oil cam" I secretly wish to see someone in some kind of DIY "iron man" deep-diving outfit suddenly appear and walk over to the pipe and start fixing it themselves, lol.
Second vote for Piwik. It's free and open-source, install it on one domain and you can then add multiple sites to it, just like Google Analytics. In fact, I've found it's significantly sped up my page loading times, although need to test this further.

In addition there are plugins for every major CMS and blogging system out there. I'm just waiting for the time that the ClickHeat* plugin works :)

"join to increase user experience"? While I'm sure it will the headline makes it sounds like they are doing some sort of humanitarian project. The NYTimes headline is much better
Dismissive article that misrepresents both why "normal" people out there are unhappy about section 230 and what the higher levels of conversation about changing it really look like right now[1]. Articles like this are read meat for Hacker News. You endlessly reassert your political bias while pretending you are "informing" some imaginary group of stupid people (who in reality isn't even here to be "informed").

[1] Here is a recent discussion about 320 from a few lawyers and an YouTuber who used to work for the mainstream media:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a5H1A65wOM

As you will see if you watch the video, it is much more nuanced than the aggregate straw-man set up by the article.

...

The crux of the issue is that Section 320 was drafted with a lot of assumptions in mind. At the time the Web was a fledgling thing. At the time Section 230's practical effect was to empower emerging platforms to do some common-sense moderation without fear of being held liable for all content they distributed.

Does the law still has this effect? Yes, it does. But that is no longer the primary effect in terms of how this law affect most of the people out there. Today its primary effect is to give an impenetrable legal shield to giant tech corporations that engage in deliberate society-wide manipulation of information. That is what most people out there are unhappy about, even if they don't quite know how to phrase it.
There is no question of excuse and it does explain the situation. I think it's just that you do not quite get how exporting/importing works. It's standard and has nothing to do with Brexit. What Brexit does is that this now applies between the UK and the EU.

If you are in the EU and import something from the UK (e.g. you buy online from a UK-based company) :

- you do not pay UK VAT (exports are not subject to VAT)

- the item must go through customs and have the necessary paperwork.

- you need to pay your local VAT

The carrier will handle this and collect VAT from you. They will charge you a handling fee for doing that.

That's the way it is and has always been. It's the same if you're in any country (UK, US, any) and import something. Politicians did not misled anyone. It's just that many people don't usually import and are not familiar with the process so are surprised.

Try to order something like a laptop or whatnot from the US and the same will happen plus potentially custom duty (tariff).

The UK has decided to leave everything: EU, single market, customs union. So it's basically completely 'foreign' and both sides only agreed not to impose tariffs. This was made quite clear.
I love Signal and want it to be "the winner" here... but I mostly agree with you, with one caveat.

The internet kind of functions differently in some parts of the world, and if you've spent time in those regions, you see it's pretty aligned with what you've described. Like, there is a reason that Facebook bought WhatsApp to begin with. Those "ecosystems" are incredibly valuable.

Now, the thing that makes me open to being wrong? The absolute horror of a reputation that Facebook has as of late. I think if this was the debate a few years ago, it'd be much harder for Signal to pull people away, but now...

Go, Signal, go.
While we are on the topic of multi-year propaganda campaigns, can you help me spell Benghazi?
This is the right conclusion, but for the wrong reasons. A vaccine which induces antibodies should prevent spread because it will prevent your body from producing large quantities of the virus and hence prevent viral shedding.

The remaining factors which still require masks are the non-perfect efficiency (~5% of people will still get it), social factors (related to creating two classes of people; the immune and non-immune) and perhaps some others I forgot.
Wouldn't your rate account for this already?
