Just great, it just seemed like we will have something this decade, but sadly that will not be the case.

I have read the comments in Mozilla's thread http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/06/beyond-html5-database-apis-... they clearly don't give a damn about what the users want.

They should have just agreed on a simple subset of SQL instead of going NoSQL, but apparently that wasn't good enough for them, waiting a decade more for something to store data in is probably better.

I personally love the concept of NoSQL, it's just that IndexedDB needs a few more years, which means it will probably even miss IE10.

The Apple TV plays content from other providers just fine.
The thing is that it’s not even cheap. The prices you see as a customer already include a hidden commission that the restaurant pays, but on top of that there’s a delivery fee and even a “service charge”.
I've heard about 40%, which is still a lot. And it doesn't mean 40% revenue drop: non-personalized ads will still make money.
I'm also not an expert but, I said Aramaic because that's what Sid, my dad said was the earliest recorded script. Web searches suggest its a matter of discussion.
3%?! Wtf America? That's double what the rest of the world is paying. I've seen 1% for some industries in the UK.

This is home delivery. Why isn't there an AVS layer to acknowledge fraud risk? Or 3DS to better authenticate payments? If either fail, let the restaurant refuse it.

Taking trusted payments can't be this hard. It's bad for everyone.
Is the value the sense of ownership or just from people trading them like other crypto?
I was not aware the 2001 mars orbiter was still operating!
Narrow just like the English channel if one side was in England, and the other in Greece :)

Even if they were close why would you rename them? Asia and North America are close, Asia and Europe are "close" (connected), Asia and Africa... you get the point
Yes. at one point, it was the only code I could find which would reissue a certificate, using only the certificate itself as a CSR rather than making the private key holder reissue a request.
http://wasitup.com uses Tokyo Tyrant, but I'm nearly finished with a rewrite to Redis. Tyrant was abandoned because of a nearly non-existent community, poor documentation, and some replication issues.

Redis was selected over MongoDB and Cassandra since it scales down, is lightweight (with virtual memory enabled memory is not an issue anymore), and extremely easy to install and manage.
Actually, I just created the google group today.

I emailed the contractors on the HN Contractors doc list (https://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?key=tk7rUIb-2aPdk_5gFJE...), and a lot of people expressed interest in this mailing list. It fills a different niche than http://hnhackers.com, which is geared more towards public facing profiles.
Some would suggest that the best way to minimize that risk is not to look at who hasn't had downtime in the last two years, but instead to host your app with more than one provider.

(of course, if you take that route, you probably want to go with two different low-cost providers.)
I don't remember exactly when "e-discovery" became popular, but I've never agreed with "Every e-mail you write could wind up in court. Everybody knows this, but people still act like it will never happen to them."

email is fake. It can be faked. It can be forged. It isn't a legal record, but people treat it that way.
> Unfortunately, these would be very hard to pinpoint as it would be virtually impossible to get enough people to volunteer eating a certain diet

Perhaps you don't need to force people to eat certain things. You can observe what they eat and how healthy they are. If you have a large enough sample set you may be able to reach some conclusions. The internet and recent developments on it like things like Facebook may help a lot: if people start recording what they eat on a regular basis you may be able to get a huge and diverse sample quite easily.

> I would say it's way less than 10, especially in the long-term, but I have no way to prove it of course.

From what I've seen I disagree. I know people who eat healthy according to conventional wisdom, but they eat too much. As a result they are fat and unhealthy. I also know people who get at least half of their calories from things that are considered unhealthy like sweets, coke and potato chips, but because they don't overeat they look healthy. Now it's true that body weight is not the only aspect of health, but it is a very big one and the only one that you can measure by looking at somebody...

> I read it briefly, and he made an emphasis on dental health, but literally introduction of white flour, sugar, polished rice and canned food produced a huge drop in dental health.

It's an interesting study but this is not surprising, since bacteria love these things too. Fortunately we have toothbrushes.

That said the study is highly biased. The "native" people are always laughing in the photos and the "modernized" people are looking sad.
If the monopoly is in an industry where the barrier of entry is very high, then yes, they could raise prices to antisocial levels and make exorbitant profits; However if the monopoly was in an industry where the barrier of entry is very low, the monopoly doesn't have that much power to raise prices to antisocial levels; If they do other competitors will jump in. Imagine, through low prices and effective logistics you've achieved a monopoly in producing wheat. You have a monopoly because no one can afford to sell as low as you do, not even the poor developing country farmer; Now imagine that you got arrogant and raised your prices by 350%, you'd start to lose the monopoly because other competitors can now enter the market. That's why you wouldn't raise prices even if you have a monopoly, if your industry has a low barrier of entry. No matter what you cannot employ defensive tactics to ensure your competitors (other farmers) can never gain traction, if your prices are too high.

Now, whether search or social networks are high barrier of entry industries, is another question. (I tend to think so)
I think the term "minimum viable product" gets thrown around too glibly, as if it's the only way you can possibly be successful.

True. Minimum viable product is a strategy to mitigate market risk, not technology risk.

I think it shut itself off.
I doubt that negative reviews online could be responsible for a company like this going out of business. The Article falsely assumes a connection to some complaints and their failure. They more than likely had deep ingrained issues which they had not overcome in many years.
It may come down to the mainstream game industry's aversion to risk. The high cost of game development has meant fewer risks are taken. Perhaps the stealth genre is considered to difficult to get right or there isn't enough interest to make a decent return on costs.
Wow, Telegram looks great! Now if I only could convince all of my friends to switch...

" Under the terms of the DPA, Boeing will pay a total criminal monetary amount of over $2.5 billion, composed of a criminal monetary penalty of $243.6 million, compensation payments to Boeing’s 737 MAX airline customers of $1.77 billion, and the establishment of a $500 million crash-victim beneficiaries fund to compensate the heirs, relatives, and legal beneficiaries of the 346 passengers who died"

In what way does the BSD license obligate that?
Don't forget that's only the fine. There was also the cost of contract breaches/compensations, the public image damage, the costs for the victims, the cost for having multiple deliveries delayed, etc

In essence, doing the right way would have been cheaper.
You can actually, as long as you want to put a company out of business. You can revoke license, freeze accounts in banks, etc., like the US has done many times. But, it's Boeing, its own boy, so why bother?
By "nuclear", my understanding is that these used thermoelectric radioactive batteries, not nuclear fission reactors. Big difference. Much lower maintainence.

(Basically you get a hunk of radioactive material that heats up from its own radiation and harvest that heat for electricity.)
The main idea with a security token is that you can not get the keys out of them.[ß]

So for a truly secure and reliable setup, get three. Enroll them all as parallel 2FA tokens. Keep one with you, one in a relatively easily accessible but non-obvious place, and one in a safe or bank deposit box. That way when the one you have with you breaks or you lose it, promote the secondary to your primary and order a new one to replace the promoted one.

The third is your emergency backup, for when both normally needed keys are destroyed or lost.

Now of course, this only works when the accounts you want to secure allow to enroll more than one FIDO2 token. Which is, sadly, not the most common setup still. For instance AWS only allows to enroll one 2FA token per account.

ß: Some functionality modes allow to extract private keys by design.
It depends. Many are paid as career OSS developers to contribute to Kubernetes.

I'm a little surprised how slow the initial image loads are (the download is choppy; kind of reminded me of my old 56k connection :)). Obviously, once the cache is warmed it's much better, but it's not like they're huge files.
That is true. What I'm wondering about is why the plane allows a pilot to take a fatal action. For example, why would an auto-pilot system allow a jetliner to nose dive? Maybe it does not. I'm certain these scenarios have been considered, and I'm sure the developers had very solid reasons as to why something like this doesn't exist (if it actually does not).

I'm curious if the plane has enough input to determine "if we continue this course we will crash into the mountain range", and if it does, why can't it take automatic corrective action and override the pilot?

There's a good chance someone commenting here has worked in this area and could provide a very insightful response.
Looks fantastic! great app
Another advantage of "first come, first served" for a limited number of customers: you can performance test your app and use the data to determine the N you allow to signup. Your slow site doesn't piss off your early adopters AND you delay performance tuning until you want to go to a larger audience.

You also make your own exclusivity. In fact, you should stipulate that during the early access period, idle accounts will be reclaimed. That'll get them to come back (if they're at all interested in your service).
To clarify, you quit, or he fired you because you fell asleep?
That's not completely true. You have to separate universal moral framework from a relativist system. In this case is-ought doesn't come in to play (as Hume himself acknowledged in the answer to the question of induction). I'm more focused in epistemology myself but I also happen to be a Hume nut.

Seems that there's a <title> in the original text where the text stops. Apparently the HTML wasn't escaped on that line.
I disagree with almost every word in this essay. So lets get started.

"Imagine you are a newcomer to Javascript development these days. Which librairies should you pick to get started?"

Who cares. What's stopping anyone from just writing a JS file and adding a script tag to their html, that's how most of us learned it.

"There is, however, a price to pay to the approach of coding through instant gratification."

No there's not. It just depends on what type of coder you are. I like to think a problem through BEFORE coding and then hack, when I come to another problem I pause, think, solve the problem, (all away from the computer) then want to code super fast again. Anything that
makes the "turn my idea/algorithm" into running code faster is good, when writing C/C++ anyone will tell you they hate
compiling, why? because its slows down the "idea-to-code" part. To the authors credit he seems to prefer this approach as
well, it just doesn't follow that you have to hack super fast all the time and never think just because you don't have to
wait for code to compile.

"The hardest thing in Javascript development today is maybe less the development itself than knowing which libraries to pick."

That's a problem? Seriously, I think many languages would love to be able to "complain" about this.

"It is Torvald’s “Release early and often” without the community smashing the ego of anyone publishing sub-par code."

Here's the way I think about it. If you can't find what you want, build it yourself, maintain it, and use it. Everyone does
this in any other language and it works fine, its also working for JS too. see here: https://github.com/sorrycc/awesome-javascript

The only thing I would agree with is that yes, it is ridiculously easy to publish something to npm so there is a lot of garbage.
The days of submitting your email patch are winding to a close and I for one am happy about it.
Then it comes to this, it depends upon why you are posing the question. If you are a researcher and it's important to you to isolate factors that can decrease addiction in the name of science then that is one things. But my feeling is this question is usually asked because it can be used to poison the well of this kind of policy.

Asking this question in this context seems to me not an exercise in good science but an attempt to score a point for opposition based on people's generally icky feelings about addiction.
The evening stuff is nearly always just minimal email check that seldom takes more than 10 minutes. At my last job (where I was full time remote), my schedule was working 6am-4pm working, taking a break to spend time with my family, then real work from 8pm-midnight. This is a huge improvement.

Not all that 9.5 hours on campus is working time. I generally take a break for breakfast & lunch, hit the gym a few times a week, and try to spend an hour or two a week on fun, non work related things (like author talks).
"Any kid over five can be allowed to run around the town like a kid in the 50's"

The reason kids over 5 are not running around town is not fear of cars, it is the fear of abduction. The abduction does not require a car either.
'I almost did run down to Walgreens to buy one when I heard about it. I thought, "Android is open source, it should be fun to hack right? How bad can it be?" It seems the answer is really really bad.'

If Android using the Apache license means that vendors only have to provide the (Google) source they started from and not for the final result, you basically can't hack what you got, but have to deal with code that was never customized for the device you've got. In effect the source was open for the vendor, but it isn't for you. So much for fixing bugs in what you get...
As a member of the Dropbox team, I can say without a doubt that everyone on the Dropbox client team is working hard to make the next version of the Dropbox client as stable as possible before release. The Release Notes Page ( https://www.dropbox.com/release_notes ) shows that we have been making fixes to the next (testing) version of the client on a near daily basis for months.

In many ways the new client has been updated to be as stable if not more so than the current stable build. However, new features open new possibilities for bugs and we want to make sure that our software is bulletproof before we label it a stable build. Pushing the client out before completion would be far more dangerous in our opinion. I do apologize that we have not been able to release the latest build sooner, but I can assure you that we are working hard to get the current release ready.

While the client has been under development, we have been able to complete a large number of other features including mobile clients for all of the major handheld devices, an API for interacting with Dropbox as well as numerous improvements to the Dropbox web portal.

I can assure you (because I can see the client team right now) that they are working as hard as ever to get the current testing build ready for every one of our users.

Been using Streamlit at work for over a year. It's great for quickly building internal apps where latency or styling is not a concern (though it is a lot prettier than notebooks).
I don't think it's about forcing anyone to work remotely, it's about being allowed to continue and not being forced to go back to commute times and water coolers.

My employer is in an industry that thrived on in-person interactions (save for any field writers/photogs). They had no remote working policy prior to the pandemic for the bulk of the staff.

They have made a complete 180° change on that and acknowledged that there has been anything but a drop in productivity, and vast improvements in some areas. Remote working is going to be a first-class option going forward (at least looking that way for now). They closed two offices downtown Toronto; one at the Rogers building, and one in a heritage block on Queen E. They were landmark locations for highly visible brands centred around the city, lifestyle, society, and politics. (read: It was not a decision made lightly for the company)

Now, the company owns its own print operations and those, of course, stay on site. I'm in digital operations—we're now scattered around the GTHA. After I got sick last year I underwent a bit of a sea change in attitude: my partner and I bought a used car, packed up and moved to a beautiful heritage townhouse in a smaller, greener town from our sub-500 sq/ft shoebox-in-the-sky. I'll never move back into one of those, and rent for anything else has gone off the bloody rails.

There are a larger amount of remote opportunities than ever—I like my job and my employer, but I would consider switching if I was forced to move back into their remaining office in North York every day. As it is, I can make it in there by car in about an hour for the odd all-hands.
"I think people would be made worse off if Amazon's retail operations were to be made worse (or shut down in the limit case).

"

Maybe short term but the in the long term I think everybody would be better off with more smaller competitors instead of a few dominant ones. Same for Apple. I don't think their size is good for the economy or technology in the long run.
> I'm basically in a job that is quite important for my org, I get compliments for good job, but I hate most aspects of my daily work since the tech stack is complex and fugly. I probably _appear_ motivated but I'm just a neurotic who hates failing. If I didn't need to feed and house my family I would have moved to a lower paying position long ago that is intrinsically more motivating.

I too hate failing. And many times end up working extra to get things done properly. This keeps me in very different position where my manager, team relies on me, praises me but end of day it takes toil on other parts of life. I have seen many people in my career, who just don't work, don't bother about product at all, do things at last moments, have literally zero affection for the craft and still survives in industry. I really envy them.

I am grateful to have good paying job in pandemic while many people laid off. But these days what I really need is to close my laptop at 5 pm WITHOUT ANY WORRY.
I have indeed often seen the names referred to without the term "nuclear".
Study is published by a staffing firm, who surveyed around 1000 people. It seems like the people who would respond to a staffing firm's survey might not be fully representative of the broader working population.

I did not expect to enjoy working from home, but I thoroughly do. I feel like I can be almost as effective, but I sure wouldn't quit over a return to the office. (And I sure wouldn't be reachable by a staffing firm to be surveyed.)
Strictly speaking the problem isn't that the kid is expensive, it is that, per your two options, 1) childcare is expensive, and 2) London / their spending habits are too expensive to support a stay-at-home parent. There are lots of other choices that one can make, although they are problem not the common choices. They might actually be happier with some of the other choices, from stories I hear of people that sat down and thought about other options.

These articles appear from time to time but they never give any sensible reason. Just take it as given that languages must be saved. This one has a long diversion into indigenous medicine - not something that needs a language, but rather needs knowledge, using any language. Here's the closest thing I found to a reason though I only read half way:

"But the loss of languages passed down for millennia, along with their unique arts and cosmologies, may have consequences that won’t be understood until it is too late to reverse them."
