Perhaps it's splitting hairs, but "have to" and "free" could be construed as being at odds with one another, in some contexts.

All things considered, it's not that high a price to pay, but it does feel like a bit of a bait and switch.
I also like jitsi however haven't had any chance to seriously use it. I wonder if there is any major drawback for jitsi
People with 300k of debt are very bought into our current economic system, poor people aren’t generally getting access to and taking on that kind of debt.
It's a good thing that everyone makes their own discord "server", which naturally is resilient to any failures upstream by virtue of being its own fully contained, self-hosted software stack.

Wait, no, Discord just aped that word to gaslight users into behaving in a way which makes them more money.
It is the one treatment that is cheap, already manufactured in large scale, and not in control of any single entity. Of course people are rooting for it.
There are always vested interests and people with a financial stake, though I was talking about something much lower-level.

A number of zero-medical-experience personalities have become mini-celebrities with their boosting of it. For those who saw the movie "Contagion", their behavior is shockingly similar to the Jude Law character and its boosting of Forsythia. Some of these people are active on HN, and it's amazing how often absolute trash science is heralded like it's some suppressed truth.

A few days back Trump was retweeting one such huckster. A guy who has repeatedly tried to recreate his own Wikipedia page (to be deleted again for non-notability). Who has a pretty standard hustler-and-exploiter bio. Now he's claiming that he's at the forefront of "working with companies" to get this magical treatment to the streets. It is deplorable.
I don't know. That actually sounds like a good option to trace/warn contacts.
The NYT apparently thinks that "curry" is a spice.
"Open up the algorithm" is a fantasy where you point a function at a tweet and it returns a boolean. In reality, content moderation at this scale is a complex problem that requires a sophisticated system of many parallel strategies (some of which are more automatable, some less) and many thousands of people to manage.
Is it illegal for cyclists to take the lane where you live? If you're doing that I don't understand why it makes a difference if it's 1 person taking the lane or 2 abreast. Either way the lane is taken. Trying to leave a fraction of a lane open to drivers just seems like a good way to get sideswiped
I like this nice video from Kurzgesagt on the horrors of nuclear weapons on cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPH-br_eJQ
Those who think of errors as exceptions can further be divided into group 2a) Those who prefer Promises syntax. And group 2b) Those who prefer async/await syntax.

Also don't forget about co-routines:

co(function* () {
var user = yield getUser();
var comments = yield getComments(user);
});

Just replace "co(" with async, and yield with await, and you'll have async/await.
So did French supermarket Intermarché and Dutch supermarket Albert Heijn. It's encouraging to see that bigger chains are starting to do this. Throwing away perfectly good food just because it doesn't look 'perfect' is pretty ridiculous.
I am well aware of that misuse, as I've exploited it during a CTF before. :)

I would consider using the raw byte-output version of a function a very blatant example of "improper implementation".

Also, I agree regarding encryption. In my example I was actually referring to the random AES key as a pepper, even though it'd probably be better called an "application secret".
Not to mention timing. Even if these were /exactly/ the same product as justin.tv, releasing a few years later into a world with slightly shifted cultural values could make the difference.
I think I'll do the following (as a joke, surprised no one did it already):

>Who is buying this stock?! and

>I haven't dug deeply into their financials or anything.

should be mutually exclusive, don't you think? If you haven't looked at their financials or anything, how do you know whether it is a good investment or not? You can't just look at 'macro-trends' and determine if individual companies are a buy or not.

e.g. since 1970s, cigarette industry has been in a steady volume decline. Guess which stock has been (by far) the best performing stock during since that period? Yep, Philip Morris (which recently split into Altria and Philip Morris)
That's the key, there isn't any!

(kidding)
Just glancing at the linked spreadsheet, I see way more than 4 events in 2020 for which termination is pretty clearly justified and necessary, so this trend seems to be driven at least in part by a change in behavior by professors and not just others' responses to that behavior. Also worth mentioning that the majority of the listed professors don't seem to have actually been fired or even disciplined - unsuccessful petitions and the like are included.

The PDF is from 2006 and contains 231 pages.

> Not saying that's never true, but in this specific case there's just no way Twitter went from zero to release with this app since meerkat launched. A company the size of Twitter doesn't do weekend hackathons for important launches like this. Not that I know of, at least.

Periscope had been in a closed beta for months before they were purchased. I'm surprised no media has ever tried the angle of Meerkat being a Periscope clone.

This is a grand argument. Can you explain your reasoning?
I agree, I think the environment sounds toxic.
XEP-136 is a good example why it's a bad idea to squeeze
everything into a single specification (or XEP in this case): The reason it was not implemented by most XMPP stacks was, because it's so much you have to implement. XEP-313 focuses on what is important to achieve WhatsApp like persistent chats in XMPP. Functionality which is lacking in XEP-313 can be specified later on in a different XEP. After all that's why it is called the "Extensible Message and Presence Protocol (XMPP)".
I'm postponing any judgement on the pilots and airline until the information situation has settled down over the next few weeks.
You joke, but you bring up a good point. Would we have been as outraged if some big company was buying Radioshack as a whole for a small price? Because in effect the same thing would be happening... customer personal data would be transferred to some other company.

But this pcworld article frames in such a way that "customer personal data being sold!!!" is emphasized and makes it more pernicious than it really is -- or rather, makes it sound like it isn't business as usual, when really, it really is!
Moderator of /r/rust and #rust here, I honestly have no idea where these people come from. We have rules against language bashing, so I guess we ended up exiling them all to HN?
> 1 year is enough to become an expert in any field having enough focusing and persistence.

In this case I'd agree with you because the company probably does specific things and learning to do those well enables you to do your job well. But I don't think it's generally true that you can get an expert in any field within a year.
Some large enterprises (including the one I working in) are using it as a next gen technology to upgrade client facing portals.

I'm not in WEB Development area and I think it's not the best approach, but because this is happening - angular.js is going to have very long momentum.
I think the importance or practical impact of a profession is a whole another issue I'd rather not get into. I take your point that there is a hint of entitlement to anyone complaining about a job that, comparatively, is better off than many other jobs.

I am all for people who are willing to tough it out for something they are passionate in. However, I hope these people are passionate because of some kind of internal motivation and not due to external pressure or culture to accept the status quo.
You may find that infantile but if the great things in life are taken away (or substituted with tofu), what remains?

I gave up refined sugar four months ago and have found that, after a couple months of adjustment, most fruit tastes much sweeter than before. I suspect the body adjusts over time to whatever level of sweetness it is tasting.

Personally, I can't stand tofu, and don't eat it. But then, I find that it has many of the same issues as refined sugar -- it's a rather artificial, modern food that isn't deeply satisfying.

I find using ReST syntax more intuitive than the one used in H3RALD, and it produces HTML and PDF (actually, LaTeX, which you can then output as PDF) as well.
I actually like this suggestion. People don't want to switch to IPv6 because there's no business case for it. Make the situation they face more drastic, they get their their business case.
There are three co-chairs currently, who are employed by Apple, IBM and Microsoft respectively. Paul Cotton, the Chair who is employed by Microsoft, has lots of standards experience, including as a former chair of the XML Query group. He's been very helpful in dealing with W3C inner workings, but has mostly stayed out of technical debates.

Notwithstanding the history of Microsoft's engagement with Web standards, I think Paul has been doing a fine job and I can't really say a word against him.
"I know the usual advice is to take something only slightly bad and turn it into something positive. But I don't think that's honest. So I guess my problem is that I don't like to play games with interviewers."
Aerial photograph maps are barely more informative than line-maps, and they're filled with much more misinformation. Colors are not correct, I'm on ground-level so I don't see buildings from the top, trees, cars, construction, etc are all incorrect as well by usually over a year, buildings aren't skewed like that (especially tall ones)...

Besides, I'd only stated I use it for distances and paths, not color. Where the exaggerating / downplaying of features destroys the ability for comparative analysis of locations with other maps, I find I have little use.
i'm not sure why it sounds like i'll do well to you. it's looking pretty bleak from where i'm looking.

> If you like games, do simple fun indie games (world of goo, bejeweled, uplink, etc). These will make you happier and richer than working in the salt mines.

i agree. deep down i don't think the employee/employer relation will work for me.

> B) Find some semi-programming business to go into. My first love was airplanes. I absolutely adore them. So I combined that with my love of technology. I get a good mix of different disciplines which keeps me sane.

so you write software that keeps planes in the air?
I do a lot of coding. Hours and Hours a day. A lot of that coding is for other people. I like coding, but there is something else I like. I like when people receive my code, take a look at it, and say "Wow. Erm. Thanks."

I like being appreciated.

I like thinking about how I am going to code something, and then doing it in an efficient algorithm; I like feeling as if I did something clever. I also like how I view everything in life differently because coding is a huge part of it.

The other day someone asked why I always respond to their texts 'no matter what,' and I said, 'well, people with a friendship level of 1 or higher always get a response.' They asked me to give them my friendship levels, so I had to make up a system on the spot- I said 'lowest should be (-2), wait no- (-1) so I can use bitwise operators,' and then structured the system around the use of bitwise operators just because I thought it was cute.

The fun in coding is the same fun that you receive in web design, however, I like to think that coding gives me more pleasure in more areas because I can use concepts I learn in everyday use, like ranking friends.

Working on my site that lets you annotate and skip around youtube videos - tubenotes.xyz

I built it mostly to organize and catalog guitar tutorials that I learn from.
Too much noise to signal for this to be reliable.

I’ve tracked my resting HR for years, and there’s so many other things that can affect it, including (in rough order of magnitude) alcohol & dehydration, lack of sleep & stress, ambient temperature, other illnesses, and finally exercise (which has a big impact long-term, but also gets lost in the short term noise).
I have a Figma plugin that shows different display sizes with their respective market share. It helps designers to test their mockups for different devices and make decisions based on that.

I'm currently working on a BE that would enable you to bring your own product data for a small fee. But as a designer, it takes far too much time. If there would be anyone who would like to join, let me know.

I think that once this crisis passes we will have an updated view on the true effectiveness of masks. All the Asian countries that flattened the curve heavily endorsed the wearing of masks. But there may be other factors at work rather than the direct efficacy of masks (not touching your face, sending a social signal to keep distance, elevating humidity around your mouth and nose, etc.).
especially the logo, looks like a sports fan (besides the mask)
Go-away-corona would certainly be an improvement.
If you don't quarantine everyone, you spread the disease. Hospitals are already crowded, look at Europe. If you, 30's something, have severe a health issue for some reason, you won't be treated properly. You'll die or crowd the hospitals more. As will hundreds of thousands. Your antibodies are useless against an heart disease or an accident. Don't spread the disease, don't be a selfish idiot.
I think many people do as that is why there is so much focus on them.

This is the first world pandemic in a hundred year, why should it become common ?
I think the site is hideous (and not very readable), so I didn't bother to read their advice on site design.
I downloaded Kod.app to check it out. Great Nordic looks! But this is really not even ready for prime-time, is it?

Given the amount of work involved, I'd like to throw in the suggestion here that if you are thinking of building your own (programmer development environment -- these things are not simply "editors") on top an OSS foundation, to review and consider IDEA:

http://git.jetbrains.org/

(Not in any way associated with JetBrains).
The two of them are exactly the same thing, but in recursion you have an implicit stack that maintains the state of each iteration. In iteration, the stack is either explicit or else condensed down into a few state variables (eg. if you're just keeping a sum, you don't need to store all the intermediate partial sums). Given that Python's philosophy is "explicit is better than implicit", it doesn't surprise me that he prefers iteration to recursion.
I prefer the syntax of recursive CTEs (as many others have mentioned).

A simple use case that I have in my work is generating a date table, and a recursive CTE sits at the core of this script:

TSQL Syntax:

WITH dateCTE (FullDate) AS
(SELECT '20100101'
UNION ALL
SELECT DATEADD(DAY, 1, FullDate)
FROM dateCTE
WHERE FullDate < 20101231
)

In the example above, we generate a table of all dates in 2010.

I don't get much chance to play with Postgres, but from their documentation[0] it seems the concept transfers over readily by using WITH RECURSIVE.

Well the space launching is interesting but I want to hear something about what the NEXT will be able to do. Will it have a broadband global coverage? That would be pretty awesome! So that they wouldn't have to use so many modems for stuff like this: http://www.dailywireless.org/2007/11/03/artic-expedition-liv...
I was on Slicehost, and I really struggled with whether to change to Linode. It's not that I was having any problems with Slicehost. I loved it. I just kept looking at that extra RAM on Linode, and all those data centers.

When they got the UK data center, that clinched it. I had been hoping to someday expand to UK, so when Linode did that, I changed over that day.
I haven't found a single .NET CMS that doesn't drive me completely batty. I think most CMS tools, including non-.NET ones, break down when they start trying to be able to do all things for all people. It's debatable if any are able to pull this off (though admittedly I'm not up on current CMS tools to know if that world has improved.)

Because of that, I've been rolling my own basic backend for my own personal use on projects for myself, friends & family for about a half-year now; the ultimate goal being dead-simple templating using standard HTML pages, fast & secure data & code, and ease of extensibility. It does what it needs to. But, because it's domain-specific, I'm not trying to make it a general-purpose "CMS," so I currently don't have to worry about stuff like registration/authentication, comments, etc. I would never release it in its current state, though, and likewise I'd probably never plug a bunch of other junky code into it, expose a ton of dubiously-designed interfaces & reflection as "extensibility," require master pages (ew) or some custom markup language (ew x 2) to make templates, and call it a full CMS.
And the US gov't does not insure its stuff.
This is a good example of "just because we can do it doesn't mean it's a good idea."
It'll cost you more than $200k, but dense suburban housing is still more affordable in Austin than it is in the Bay Area.

> The point of this DDoS attack is to prevent people in China from accessing content on github. To null-route chinese-origin traffic would mean that the attackers win.

True, and as I said, my single link research is by no means proof, just the nearest I could find that seemed to make sense.
Except for you, right? People like to feel better about themselves by declaring defects in everyone else but themselves. Even me.
I'm surprised no one has developed a way to upload all the frames of a film to various image hosting sites(imgur, flickr, etc) and written software to piece them all together to recreate them as a single movie file.
True, but gotta wonder how much better this latency is than a more reasonable amount of RAM backed by a super-fast SSD.
Don't have a dog in the fight, but interesting how the uberX page doesn't mention specifics of the proposal beyond "put hundreds of drivers out of business and effectively shut UberX down." Where are the links? The specifics?

The actual proposal may be found on the city's site [1]. It also would help to provide some context for the types of changes, which both an opinionated summary from the local newspaper [2] and somewhat impartial summary from a local tech site [3] do fairly well.

For the tl;dr who don't want to click away:

1. Seattle defines uberX, Lyft, etc as Transportation Network Companies (TNC) and declares all drivers as "for-hire" drivers, which is a legal distinction that means Seattle can regulate them.

2. TNCs are taxed at $50k for first year. Second year is the greater of $50k or .35% of gross revenue.

3. No more than 300 drivers may be associated with each TNC (it's a permit lottery regime, if you are curious), and each driver can work only 16 hours.

Yes, that means that each TNC is limited to 300 x 16 = 4800 hours of work per week. A previous proposal had a limit of 100 drivers [5]

4. Drivers can't double dip: They can't both drive for-hire cars and also do uberX on the side. They also can't work for both uberX and Lyft.

5. I can't find a cap on the number of TNCs that will be licensed, even though that seems to be one of the (perhaps past?) sticking points.

6. Rates may either be flat-rate between preset zones OR subject to RCW Chapter 19.94. RCW Chapter 19.94 [4] defines appropriate measurement devices that may be used with commerce, which I think precludes most cell phones... uberX would need to install meters it seems.

Details likely only I will find interesting:

1. TNCs have to have valid insurance for all vehicles, and this insurance looks like it is stricter than what uberX and Lyft currently have.

2. TNCs must have an office in Seattle that is open and personally staffed all business days between nine a.m. (9:00 a.m.) and five p.m. (5:00 p.m.) with toll-free number

3. The TNC shall submit to the Director a report detailing all rides that were requested but not accepted by TNC drivers. The report shall include the location and zip code of each rejected ride. There are penalties for discriminating against underserved zip codes.

4. 30% increase in the total number of taxicabs, including an immediate increase of 8% "today. "

Sorry, I miscalculated. I counted whole weeks instead of work days, which is 250 days, so really it should be $520 for $2 a day for 260 days with 2 (full) weeks vacation.

Your logic is strange, though. You mention that considering the high cost of living, $14 won't go very far. The insinuation, I guess, is that because it doesn't go very far, it isn't worth much? When really the fact is that since goods and services in SF have much higher value, each dollar you save is that much more important to being able to afford even the basic necessities (like rent, much less food and transportation!)

"What you consider" to be a minimal amount of money is what some people consider %3 of their annual income. For you that's probably what, $3,000? You can probably afford to lose that and it doesn't really affect your life much, which is why you have such a skewed view on what is minimal or worthwhile and what isn't. For a lot of people, $56 a month is the difference between having to borrow money from family to pay the rent or not, or having to decide between feeding everyone in their family for the week or not.

Hybrid car? Okay, I get it, either this is a troll or you seriously just don't consider anyone other than yourself to matter, and thus this idea of saving money is nonimportant to you. But it could be life-saving to other people. Like someone once told me, "Hey fool, this ain't no football game!"
seattle appears to be the focus of large astroturfing of comment pages and council meetings on behalf of lyft and uber. the problem of an wild-west/unregulated for-hire-car industry has a solid history in all major u.s. cities. in the end, despite some vehement haters of the yellow cab hegemony (and astroturfers, of which there are many with lots of money backing), some solid citizen protections must be kept in place or it devolves into hazardous polluting uninsured lawyer-fest http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/goldy/Author?oid=4904583
