You are not an idiot...but it is annoying. Are all the IE's displaying it incorrectly, including IE9? I'm using IE9 beta and pretty happy with it. Makes me sad that I can't view your page :)
What is a bee if not a miniature flying pollination machine? :)
Notable fixes - for my current project at least - include:

- no longer crashing when calling the main thread from a background thread

- supporting formal protocols (or at least pretending to enough to work right)

- properly changing the path of the library when you embed
it in the executable, for distributing via an App Store

MacRuby has been a fantastic tool in developing for the Mac App Store with a team of programmers with a mixed knowledge of Cocoa and Objective-C. Super exciting to see it progressing so quickly!
I think we will be eating many more bananas in the near future.
Thank you. I've heard fantastic things about FreeBSD for a while now, and now in combination with the micro instances, I can learn and experiment. My EC2 playground is already ported over to FreeBSD, portsnap updated, extracted with a fresh nginx install.

It's been a pleasure to use thus far. Thank you, again, Colin.
Nah, I think what the author meant is learning pick up skills. That's one thing I'm really disappointed about the HN in general is that people don't necessarily branch outside of computers and break the nice guy-politically correct-nerdy stereotype. Awhile back there was that whole "lifehack" movement, but even that was preaching to the choir about "productivity hacks" and being generally PC. Once, hacking was about infiltration, social engineering, alternative culture and breaking conventions in any field; but now it's being reduced to getting paid and "making a difference" in the world.
You're surprised? Why?
Well, first we're waiting for someone to invent flying nanobots. Then we're waiting for someone to successfully convince the public that flying nanobots somehow won't kill us all.
Thanks for the suggestion. I sent a direct message to coinbasesupport from that subreddit three weeks ago and never received a response - public shaming must really be the only way to get traction. Which again is completely unacceptable!
Curious how being laid back in regards to work opens up opportunity from countries such as China that have some companies working 996 schedules (9-am - 9pm, 6 days a week) to overtake and make obsolete European global companies. I guess the only way EU can compete is protectionism, no?
In the big rally in 2017, the talk of the town was whether or not bitcoin could become a useful payments system with the aid of the Lightning Network, which has since completed development and has seen release.

Anyone who's up on crypto know if bitcoin is actually usable for sending payments now? If a local coffee shop or something accepts bitcoin, is there any chance I can go in and pay quickly + without a massive fee using LN?

Or is bitcoin still treated like a risky asset and nothing more?
Knew it was only a matter of time, and told their support on multiple occasions they had so much potential but there were simply to many fundamental issues they weren't addressing to get mass market appeal and be sustainable. I was one of the first customers, (early beta), and was absolutely thrilled to try it out back in 2011. It had a lot of shortcomings, but was hopefully it would iterate quickly, and was a beautiful modern interface compared to the horrible experience at the big banks (Which are still awful in comparison but a million times better now). There were so initial deal breaker issues, notably no support for written checks, no option to deposit checks in person (only mail), and very low mobile upload limits, slow transfers (no next day transfers for a fee like others offered), no joint checking, no business accounts, and countless other issues. The lack of checks and joint checking were major issues that while I dealt with, were things that prevented any non beta/technical friends and family from ever considering it. I'm someone who certainly very rarely writes checks so I was an ideal customer, alas when I did need to write checks... it was because I had to. Maybe you need to write a check for a service provided on the spot, buying a house at closing, among other scenarios. And for the the average person there are countless more use cases. Simple's approach was to avoid fees, and if they allow checks (other than mailed certified checks) then people could overdraft and thus need ability to charge fees, and the safe to use amount would be off. While I get that, if I over draft, I'm fine paying for it, and I understand if I write a check the safe to use would be less. Instead of dealing with those issues they just ignored them. There were times when needing to transfer money next day, and was not an option. Once again, when that need arrises it's because it's needed and thus completely fine paying for it accordingly. Support was amazing back in 2011 and 2012, but as they grew support become much worse since that level of support is hard to scale. Once again I was an ideal user in most ways, ad I HATED having to go to branches, and would much rather mobile deposit all checks and rarely ever used cash, but because of the very low deposit limits had to often mail in checks instead which was no good. If you don't have branches you have to have high mobile limits. Luckily other banks did offer such high limits. I spent so many years providing long emails with all the issues in detail as I wanted to see it grow and improve, and while over the years some of the issues were resolved, other deal breakers remained and then they got new ownership and still no big changes, so new it was only a matter of time until it would shut down.
I've been with Simple since it was invite-only, and used them actively since. Really disappointed. Probably going to switch to Cash App? It currently functions as a secondary fun-money account.
The misunderstanding lies in not realizing how lazy evaluation is an integral part of what makes comptime a useful tool and that removing it would break comptime horribly.
StoryWorth is a YC (W11) co.
It will likely be in some of those places soon; they've been expanding quite quickly. A motorcycle is the only vehicle I own, and it was the perfect complement for things like groceries, moving small things, vet appointments, etc. I used it in Austin, and I miss it dearly in LA.
That was my thought as well. I'd be really interested to see how these patterns are born out over time, given all the storming/forming/norming/etc stuff that goes on when teams are first put together or altered.
Can't use SMS/MMS with people internationally who do not have an international mobile plan. If they also do not have a <insert other mutual account> then WhatsApp is the next option short of email.
I speak French much better with GBoard, because it spells better than I do. It also has a pretty good sense of grammar: it will often autocomplete the correct ending of a verb. (It feels like cheating to use it with Duolingo.)

Of course I speak only simple French, and those are the cases where its primitive learning is most apt. When I speak English, its suggestions are less useful, because I use a much wider vocabulary and more sophisticated sentence structure.
What this approach doesn't really consider is that the same contents may appear multiple times on a site:

- actual post

- teaser on the front page

- RSS feed

- search index

- title in multiple "tag" pages

- title in sitemap

- title in a paged list

etc. pp. Sure, you can maintain all that manually, but it's so much easier using an SSG like Hugo.

Bloomberg terminal?
In an effort to eat healthier I also went about analyzing my cravings. Maybe I don't really want fast food, maybe I'm actually in the mood for something salty. I spent a long time finding a healthy alternative to these base cravings and eventually my body adapted and I found myself craving the healthy alternatives. Being mindful in this case led to an outcome that I considered favorable.
Having worked in finance on the buy side, I can say this was not true for me or the dozens of people I knew who use it. Neither I nor others I know in the space use the terminal as a place to "hang out" with wealthy people.

Bloomberg's tooling is quite good, and you can get 80% of the way to a bespoke chart with 20% of the work.

Not sure if the above is speculation, or parody, or just a projection of a stylized view of how finance and the world works. But definitely the above comment is confusing / misleading to people who don't work in the industry.
SSL may require "trusting all your trusted CA's", but that statement is a tautology. If you don't want to trust a Chinese CA, remove them from your root certificate store. SSL will continue to work, and you probably won't even notice the impact.
Seems likely that it is "aimed at the average," and the complaints come from people who notice the "better" side or the "worse" side not being served and complain accordingly.
I like this one a lot. Simpler CSS, less verbose, and the in-context visual examples make it a lot easier to follow along.
Back before the "cvv" number on the back of the card you could download a bit of software of the net that would generate random account numbers with valid ICA/BIN and check digit. You just picked the name of the bank you wanted the card to appear to be from.
OT: is "make -j64" overkill unless you have dozens of cores or am I missing something?
While the author does not seem to know much about computer security, he identified a legitimate threat. Brute force isn't so brute anymore.

i whish something similar could be ported to BSD/Darwin, OSX. I have a MBP 6,2 (i5) with 4GB mem/5400 rpm disk and it's quite easy to hog it down, to almost unbearable sometimes.
It was clearly an exaggerating joke.

One reason would be to use their own silicon in their data centers. They're using Linux servers after all.

That does not require graphics, though. Actually I would not be surprised if they would release information for everything but graphics and wireless.
Yes quite frustrating I had morels pop up on my property once -- which I also noticed while mowing -- and then they never returned to the same spot. So delicious.

I remember as a kid finding a large puffball mushroom in the woods near my house, and brought it home and my dad made a delicious stew with it. Every year I went back to the same area and never found one again.
We just really, really, really need those manufactured meat to work if we are going to survive as 7 billion and growing people.

I wonder what are _those_ made of? Its not like they comes out of thin air. I guess its _waaaay_ more efficient?
On some fronts it even feels like things have regressed. Trying to resize an encrypted partition is way, way too difficult. And it seems like GParted doesn't handle LUKS so you're back to manually typing block offsets on the command line.

If you wanted to use a TPM to store the FDE passphrase, well, you have the patience of a saint.
Compare this to Mac or Windows where you click a single button and it's all setup, including TPM!

As much as I love linux for server environments, it remains a failure when it comes to modern desktop environments.
You also might not want to have stacktraces on a public web site.
Ah, awesome. Nice find. I'll get this fixed. Thanks!
So does it give additional test-taking anxiety to the male students, who do worse than those in the control group?
If you read the article it does not suggest that men did worse because of the affirmation excercise. These were two different groups of men, so presumably the control group happened to be a smarter bunch.

In which case we can equally well say that the women in the non-control group just happened to be a smarter bunch. Even more easily, since the sample size of women was even smaller than those of the men. If the results aren't statistically significant I'm not sure why they were even published.
Fair enough, but then a followup question, and don't take it the wrong way. If there is a known, os agnostic, way to fix issues with upgrades, and you do not employ that solution, is arguing about upgrading without trying that option productive? I understand you don't listen to the os vendor, but in that case I can't see the logic you'll use as all os's have issues/quirks/edge cases and "trusting trust" of someone. If you're not getting value out of OS X, then honestly you should be moving off it regardless of what anyone says.

As a note, here is how I do the entire thing, I rsync my home dir on each home wifi connect (scripted for years with ControlPlane), and midnight as well. I also rsync before upgrading, then I upgrade the os, rsync again, reinstall the os and rsync home dir back and reinstall vmware.

Sounds hard right? Takes about overnight really most for the rsync back and that just happens while I sleep. I do the same thing for linux/freebsd also. As an example, freebsd 10 upgrade had issues with bhyve not working after upgrading. For linux as an example, things can be markedly worse for things like ubuntu upgrades. Which is/isn't my experience as a (thankfully now ex) devops admin. Nothing is perfect, especially upgrades. That said I have tested the tires out on upgrades of OS X and not really seen issues that others do.

I understand no time, but setting this up, which granted for me is trivial as vmware is about it that I reinstall, the rest is in ~/Applications, means its trivial to not encounter dragons needlessly. I understand you might have the adobe creative suite or whatever installed and reinstalling might be worse than crossing into mordor, but this wisdom is passed on not just by me but from those that came before me. The rsync bit could be improved but I'm lazy and it works well enough.
Since the cultural turn of the 1970s, liberals have focused on cultural change as a way of achieving justice. They assumed that people conform to dominant social norms which they learn about through the media and through others in society. So the operating hypothesis is that, if you create the impression that (for example) racial equality is the dominant social norm through consistent and uniform expression of those views and the suppression of racist norms, then racism will disappear as people start to conform to those new values. (This is in contrast to the prior Marxist-influenced social science which assumed that culture mainly reflects economic realities, and you can't make racism just disappear while keeping the same economic conditions.)

Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist and one of the co-authors of the paper. His work theorizes five foundations of morality—basically, ways of assessing the moral value of an act: harm, fairness, respect for authority, loyalty to one's group and purity/sanctity. The impact of the cultural turn shows up in his research. He found that conservatives tend to use all five foundations, while liberals only use the first two. Obviously for liberals, the remaining three are associated with patriarchal authority, nationalism and religious oppression.

So, he's not just demanding equal representation of political ideologies. It seems that Haidt believes that the dominance of liberalism among social psychologists is harmful to the field because it is associated with a strategy of cultural change which obliges liberals to avoid lines of research into these other foundations of morality.
This stuff gives me an unreasonable fear of getting lost. If you had some magical hyperdrive ship and bumped the controls with your elbow at the wrong moment, you'd never find your way back home.
How do you validate the authenticity of the first certificate without revealing any hostnames?
A problem with social isolation of groups leads to tension between groups. It is very easy to demonize a group when you have no contact with anyone from that group.

Case in point: Gays in the US. Acceptance of gays an gay marriage has increased DRAMATICALLY over the last decade in the US. Why? It is thought because people are starting to know gay people. Gay people are coming out and becoming visible. When you find out your neighbor or coworker or friend or even child is gay, your views of gays change. Suddenly they aren't the demonized other. In 1993 22% of Americans report having a close friend or family member who is gay. Now? 65%.

I also think social isolation leads to radicalization. When you start feeling its US vs THEM. It also leads to a loss of personal freedoms. One isn't free to integrate into a culture that is hostile to them and they lose that freedom of choice of lifestyle.

Like it or not, the US is a multi ethnic multi racial multi cultural place. I think even the majorty of countries have minority populations.

I don't think isolation of cultures is a good thing for a society.
I'm pretty sure this wouldn't violate Tennessee's WETB.

There should be more asians on HN, maybe I will create a version of HN specially for Asians, the amount of western anti-chinese vitriol is disgusting, I just gave you an upload, good luck.

Read past headlines. The issue author raises is clearly with it's dual use. Secrecy in the title comes from that.

Satellites and UAEs have long replaced planes, no matter how fast or stealthy, for intelligence gathering. One thing this thing will do good is deliver a some payload to any place on Earth REALLY fast.

Thak you both,

it was SICP, I finally found the article http://thecleancoder.blogspot.com/2010/08/why-clojure.html

And this is the paragraph that pop in my head today:

On page 216 they introduce a concept so familiar that most programming books start with it. On page 216 they prove to you that you've had some wrong ideas about programming all along. On page two hundred and sixteen, after talking about algorithms, data structures, recursion, iteration, trees, high-order procedures, scoping, local variables, data abstraction, closures, message-passing, and a plethora of other topics -- after all that, they introduce assignment!

To clarify: I havent read SICP, I donw know LISP, but I am attracted to Clojure.

I am puttint SICP to my to.read list right now.

And also this to my to.watch list http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussma...
Hmm, I just looked and apparently this code isn't part of the open-source protobuf release. :( This code exists inside Google, but apparently hasn't been disentangled from the rest of the Google source tree to be released outside.

Same here. I got two FB firsts this year: first death of a friend I learned of via FB (I've had another since), and first "update" from a dead friend who's mother now controls his account.
Nothing is stopping you from jumping in. Just brace for a rough ride.
Big companies like Google or others are likely to continue to need ever increasing numbers of people. If dropping $100k upfront guaranteed them someone in 4y it could be worth it. If they could structure contracts same as rotc, so if you leave you owe repayment, it could work.

If they had this program they would probably prefer Waterloo coop style students; get them for 2y out of 6y while in school, and then after.

Loan guarantees would probably be the most sane commercial way to do this. You are on the hook, but iff you join, we pay off your loans, and creditors could then reflect that in creditworthiness decisions.
Creators assume you have enough self control to get on without hurting yourself and enough common sense to avoid getting your legs and hands cut off.

If you are one of those people that lack both of them - you should take the stairs.
The gzip parameters should be identical, since all implementations are the GNU one. The compress program, on the other hand…

EDIT: My information was obsolete – apparently some BSD’s reimplemented gzip. I stand corrected.
It's clear that you're "ignorant" of the black magic involved in high speed communication. I felt that your post amounted to "I don't understand this stuff ... therefore it is probably a scam".

"ignorant"? That's really jumping to conclusions...

I've worked with DDR, DDR2, PCI, PCIe, and USB (2.0 only, but that's still 480MHz), in mass-produced designs. Also some proprietary busses operating in the 600-800MHz range. It doesn't have to be perfect. That is what is so great about digital signaling.

My post is more of a "I know from experience how much you can get away with, and fancy test equipment that can tell the difference does not always reflect how something performs in practice."

On the other hand, I won't comment on high-frequency true analogue stuff like microwave/RF.
Well I use it (and I assume most people use it) because I don't want to see ads. Advertising on the web is largely just obnoxious, ugly, and crude. Also the relentless tracking is a little creepy, so there is another small benefit to using an ad blocker.

I know there are some small groups trying to do good advertising on the web but it is so insignificant it doesn't even register. Large and important websites don't care enough to curate their advertising (or won't curate it to an acceptable level because of the financial hit they'd take), it is a lost cause.

The worst part is that this shit-show is steadily seeping into the mobile app ecosystem, at least on Android (I'm not on iOS enough to make a judgment). I don't know how many times I've seen beautifully designed apps with a damn ridiculous yellow flashing banner (etc) shoved in the middle of it. And 99% of the time there is no option to pay for a version of the app without advertising. I get why people do this (gotta pay the bills, Android users won't pay for apps, etc) but it sometimes seems like people don't take any pride in software anymore. :(

In contrast, I was quite surprised with how pleasant the advertising is on my Kindle. I suppose that can be a benefit of having a closed ecosystem and a device with limited capabilities.
Do they? Or is it someone with opposing view points that also happen to be racist/belligerent getting banned, and think it's because of their opposing view points rather than being racist/belligerent?
