Depends also on the type of distribution audience.

Fedora has been defaulting to Wayland for several releases now. RHEL 8 also defaults to Wayland.

However, these distributions are probably not used by users, who consider their spacebar heating critical to their workflow.
I remember the day that Imgur launched on Reddit. The post title was something almost exactly like this. At the time it was a revolution, every other photo upload site was shady or slow or expensive or some combination of the above.

~10 years later and Imgur is basically a social network itself. I hate seeing an imgur link now.

Photo upload doesn't seem to be something that can be offered in a way that pleases everyone. I wish you the best of luck in pleasing at least some people!
Perhaps in comp sci but my experience in the mechanical/aerospace engineering field has been that most people have never even heard of latex or beamer.
And also lots of guys would freak out and get very upset if they perceived someone's price is "too high," which would make the experience more hostile to women.

I've got a better idea. Have a swiping system, but also have a simple indicator to see how often people respond to messages after first swipe. There could also be an indicator for how long those conversations typically last.

Or you could just make it extremely simple: just have something saying "this person is X% likely to respond after a match."

Or an opaque "conversation score" which is hard to game, but indicates whether or not they're actually talking to their matches. You could categorize them as "great conversationalists!" and then allow people to filter out those who aren't.

Of course, that could be gamed too but it would be better than just matching over and over with people who have no interest in actually talking to you.
I don't have a solution. I don't even live in London.

I do think that if the city tried to make navigation more user friendly, a few simple ideas could improve things. I suspect no such effort has ever been made.

I know this is very hard even in companies that live or die by their their products being user friendly, so for a city that don't have those incentives, it probably will never happen.

Not sure how bulldozing would help. It doesn't seem like a charitable interpretation of my post :)
OkCupid used to do a lot of interesting statistical reports.

One of them said that for some women, it was pretty good if you like incoming messages and interest.

But for the other women, it was horrible because you'd get ignored, except for those weird cock shots most women get, which adds a bit of creepiness to make the experience worse.

Basically, women are sorted into attractive and unattractive by whatever arbitrary standard of the day, and the latter cohort had very little interest.

The statistics also indicated that skin colour made a big difference.
I think it is because in html4 the content of an <a> element is restricted to inline elements, whereas in html5 <a> is transparent so its content can be block elements if its parent allows them.
>Did you have some implicit expectation that you could heat it for an arbitrary amount of time, at full power, and it would just be fine?

You make it sound so unreasonable to put a chunk of metal on the hot thing and wait for it to fully heat.
StumpWM is strongly inspired by emacs. It uses a similar window handling style.

Exactly this. Why are we trying to raise an army of procedural, object-oriented programmers?
This would break too many websites (I've seen it used by a lot of banks as part of their authentication systems) to get through any kind of standards committee. Instead download something like RefControl, and advocate for browsers to include such functionality in their core.
"The Ruby community, at least in the US, has proven to be very open to change, see Rails 1, 2 and 3 for example. "

That's change?

That's like saying you've moved from sliced cheese to cheese on white bread to grilled Swiss on toast, and claiming to be open to new tastes[0].

Were there a real appetite for change there would be far more enthusiasm for the dozen+ Ruby Web frameworks instead of the increasing Ruby is Rails is Ruby mantra.

(There's a selection bias in my observation; people open to change often don't self-identify as <language>-ists; they're busy using a variety of languages and libraries. The "Rubyists" open to change are using Clojure, Haskell, Lua, and Go. :) )

Referencing Chad Fowler is sort of ironic, given that he had stood before a Ruby conf crowd and told people to stop working on Nitro; Rails had "won", so there was no need for a competing framework.

Why not declare that REXML "won" (it's in the std-lib after all), that we don't need competing libraries, and leave it at that? Because, as with Web frameworks, that would be stupid.

It's worth noting that REXML got added to the standard lib because of the belief that Ruby should "do XML" out of the box. I have no idea if that's still a compelling argument, though enthusiasm for anything XML has, let's say, diminished. Assuming the low friction of installing gems as needed, and advances in non-std lib gems, it's really hard to argue for keeping it in. But REXML was a gem at the time of its inclusion, there was no great love for XML, and people still wanted to bundle it in.

None of this is new; the debate started as soon as rubygems was reasonably stable, and perked up again once rubygems was moved into Ruby proper. The biggest arguments against splitting out the std lib were that some people work under constrictive code installment policies (so just grabbing gems as needed can be an issue), and that there is an advantage to vetting broadly useful libraries to ensure they play nice with the rest of the core code (i.e., you don't end up with a DB lib that modifies Object or Class with surprising results).

[0] It also reminds me of a line from "The Blues Brothers", "Oh, we got both kinds [of music] -- country and western"
Sounds like a useful service.

Wondering: Since the bot clicks every link, are there cases where there may be an 'unsubscribe' link?

Also, a little typo in paragraph two: 'adress'
"Look at our hockey stick" seems to be the answer to why they're being given the money.

Why they would "need" the money? It buys time, basically. Servers do cost money.

Agreed with the bizarre comment.
You do have a good point about adding advertisements later on.

We thought that having advertisements at the very start might turn off some users - but there is also the possibility of a backlash if we add them later.

Note that we were not planning on adding a generic ad network, but rather partnering with a pharma company and deploying ads customized for the iPhone.

The other possibility is to have 'sponsored cases', similar to what they have on Medscape - there would just a be a single line of text, i.e 'Sponsored by XYZ"
On the one hand, I appreciate the second two sentences of your post. On the other hand, the first sentence wipes out any semblance of goodwill:

"You certainly show a level of maturity that is not common among typical hunters."

This is just plain stereotyping. I don't know how you formed your perception of the average maturity level of a typical hunter, but it clearly wasn't by actually interacting with typical hunters. Furthermore, I'm not even sure what a "typical" hunter is. That's kind of like a "typical" golfer, or a "typical" swimmer. I move around a lot, but I don't like to hunt alone, which unfortunately means I don't get to hunt very much any more. It also means that I'm always looking for new people to hunt with, and I've found hunters from all walks of life, often in very heterogeneous groups where the only thing they share in common is hunting.

If anything, hunting promotes maturity: when you teach a ten year old how to utilize a deadly weapon, and all of the ways you can accidentally hurt or kill yourself or others with it, and all of the rules for avoiding such mishaps, and all of the myriad ways you can get hurt or killed outdoors even without weapons involved, the sudden load of responsibilities tends to instill maturity in a way that less hazardous activities can't. True, some kids simply aren't ready for it as young as others, but most parents/mentors see this quickly and wait another year before resuming the lessons. Much like alcohol use in conjunction with firearms, it's rather self-enforcing: would you want to hang out in the middle of nowhere with an immature kid wielding a lethal weapon? Neither would I. Does it happen? Sure. Is it common? No.
My response is pretty much the same as last time:

Location: Glasgow/Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

Dual citizen of UK and Australia

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes (when the apocalypse dies down)

Technologies: HTML/CSS/JavaScript/React, C++, OpenCV, Java, Android

Degree in Game Development from Deakin University.

One app on Google Play. It's incredibly basic but demonstrates a simple UI interacting with a local SQLite database.

Looking for entry level\junior work with any of the above technologies. Very interested in computer vision and augmented reality. Have a broad understanding of different technologies. Very flexible and ready to gain professional experience. Intend to continue studying in my own time. Think I would suit a startup the best, but open to anyone willing to take a junior dev. I like thinking big-picture and am good at seeing projects and trying to improve things as a whole.

Would also like to gain experience with React as it's in high demand and I think it's cool and interesting to work with.
Exactly. It's possible, but I did this for like six months or something and I swear I aged five years.
Also for relocations, I think it might be worth clarifying whether or not the candidate is expected to move to the area prior to the role.

Right now I'm targeting a relo and have asked this of several of the 8 or so companies I'm in process with... while some have confirmed it is okay to remain in my current home, several are unsure.

The big difference would be a sooner start date but an idea that once office work can resume the candidate may be taking a week off for relocation.
Hah, heartwarming. So many nice people pulling the same cart it gives you hope.

As much as yawaramin's comment about him poking fun at programmers is probably correct, Feynman wasn't a total stranger to computer science:

> Feynman worked out the program for computing Hopfield's network on the Connection Machine in some detail. The part that he was proudest of was the subroutine for computing logarithms. I mention it here not only because it is a clever algorithm, but also because it is a specific contribution Richard made to the mainstream of computer science. He invented it at Los Alamos.

I'd like to explicitly point out that Macrovision, engaged as it has been in copying restriction technology (even getting their standard to be required by law), probably meets the definition of "evil" for a lot of hacker types. I'm not really expressing an opinion here so much as spreading the cognitive dissonance; many people who like Steve Blank probably don't like Macrovision very much.
Swing and a miss. What’s this got to do with Camus?
What's great about Goethe? Lots! Here's my personal favorite from "Italienische Reise," his memoir of travels in Italy. It describes his intellectual awakening through study of the art of Italy, especially Rome.

> Ich habe viel gesehen und noch mehr gedacht: Die Welt eröffnet sich mehr und mehr, auch alles, was ich schon lange weiß, wird mir erst eigen. Welch ein früh wissendes und spät übendes Geschöpf ist doch der Mensch!

I have seen much and thought still more: the world is opening up more and more. Even all those things I have long known are finally becoming part of me. What a creature is man: So early to gain knowledge, so late to use it!
Thanks! It was a bit more work than I expected to be honest. I wish I had started originally using Mozilla's polyfill: https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill
We've been using Google Meet at my work for daily "standups." Typically 4-6 people, lasting 15-30 mins. Been very smooth sailing, even using Firefox. Out of curiosity, what kind of issues were you running into?
I think that's a naive view. It's not just academics optimising for money. It's academics optimising for a balanced relationship, or a family, or even just friends (since the current academic system will also often mean displacement).

I was very passionate about the work I did in academia, but I did not want to force my wife to live in a region where she could not really get a decent job, and my income would barely have been enough to support children in the early part of the academic career. I am strongly considering going back to academia in a few years, after the income doesn't matter as much anymore.

Making the financial disincentive even stronger would filter out a certain type of person, and is not a great way of achieving diversity of people.
In my view, $150k-$200k is already low. Anybody with the drive and focus to become a professor, can already earn more as a doctor, or even as a computer programmer. It's already the case that it only attracts people who are in it for the love of science.

In a similar fashion, lowering the incomes of classical musicians won't make classical music any more creative.
It's still private files. So an oversight by Zoom. A picture of you is absolutely a PII.

>They also don't store your files.

Nobody can prove that. Assume the worst, especially with a company like Zoom.

Remember it was about:

>They have to name every possible thing they can potentially receive

And files certainly fall into that.
I've been using exactly the same approach for spinning up local COVID-19 support groups around London, one nice example is at https://holloway.coronacorps.com/. Really like the branch to subdomain mapping feature from them.
Or even if they were, the "real" drivers are trained to respond to a completely different set of sensations. The simulation can be perfect, but when you're sitting still, you don't feel things such as whether the simulated car is slipping at all (just an example, there are of course a thousand other things).
We're all aware that casting to an integer does truncation, not rounding. Right?
"Put it another way. Imagine you simply magically eliminated all forms of chattel slavery, but then immediately put all those magically freed ex-slaves in deep debt to their ex-owners (with heavy interest), and left them just as socially isolated as they are right now, and then gave them a chance to either take their chances and try to find a job somewhere else, or let them work off their debts to their ex-owners. Are they in a better position than they were before? Yes. Are they in anything remotely close to a good position? No.
"

I don't think you understand the difference between voluntarily entering debt, and being forced into a situation against your will. Whether they are in a "good position" or not is irrelevant so long as they weren't forced into it. We all make stupid mistakes, and we have to live with them. Sometimes those mistakes are huge, and we will spend the rest of our lives "repaying" or fixing the damage.

Though, it's different with the mentally handicapped. They're not able to make informed decisions for themselves, and could quite easily (and voluntarily) get into huge debt. That is why they need to be protected by their family, which we are sorely neglecting by increasingly injecting the state as a surrogate parental figure when the parents(or family) are available and it is not necessary.
They should try putting the BTC address in a format which you can copy and paste.
Impossible on the Mac App Store, but perfectly possible on the Mac. Which is the appropriate comparison. Tim's web browser wasn't released on the NeXT App Store, after all.
Nothing has gotten my money faster.
Interesting article. I guess the author wants America's economy to be as sound as Russia's?
wouldn't it make more sense, assuming they are trying to incentivize investment, for this change to apply to investments made after the change takes effect?
-1, generic politics.
Seems that this guy has mastered what I call 'going into hyperdrive'

It's a phrase I always half jokingly tossed about in my mind when I knew I was behind on my academic deadlines. It's the idea that you can reach the theoretical maximum work rate for a sustained period. Put aside leisure time and sleep and just crank out the assignments, surviving on Doritos. Don't stop to edit, refine, just keep blasting through.

Of course it never quite works out, partly because I get distracted too easily, and partly because I hate composing something that represents less than my best. But looks like this guy really does pass the hyperdrive threshold and doesn't stop.
A well, not a native speaker, sleepless night… but I do apologize for this being interesting! ;-)
Not to mention the eWaste created by all the useless ASICs, burned out graphics cards, and wonky otherwise-useless motherboards.
Yes. We changed it back to that from "Gender gaps in promotion and pay due to female attrition". To cherry-pick one detail to highlight from the article is a form (actually the leading form) of editorializing, which is against HN's rules about titles.
Why is this always the first comment on posts like these?

"This hiring process is messed up."
"This guy has an inflated ego. We shouldn't listen to him. DISQUALIFY!"

Pretty much anytime somebody posts a story about bad hiring practices this is the first response I see. Why? What does it add to the discussion but an unhealthy dose of ad hominem?
I am working as a external contractor for few clients, fixing 15 years old shitty code bases. Do I like it? No.

But the pay is great and they don't take a huge amount of my time, so I can spent about half of my day working on my own stuff.

Sometimes equation of "if you don't like your job then quit" doesn't work.
Hmm, fine point, so for the lazy and old ones that one has served the purpose for a long time.

I’m not saying that this is a good solution, I don’t know that. All I’m saying is that there are use cases.
Developers were given a preview of Xcode 4 at WWDC. Based on feedback from people who broke NDA, at this moment it is apparently quite buggy and unstable.

Obviously that will improve before Xcode 4 is released.
It isn't hard to do, but a painless way to learn is to install a ubuntu 10.10 instance in a virtualbox and try it all in the box. If you screw up, who cares. After you have been through the process once it won't be intimidating to do it for your real OS.
But you can use it from a desk! Imagine sitting at a smallish desk with a keyboard and a projector/large screen a few feet away. Gestures whenever you want them (if you wrote the software right, you could even do most of them with your elbows on the desk), typing whenever you need, voice commands the rest.

I don't know what the near point on the kinect is, but if they could drop it down ~foot, then you could use it at your desk right now. It'll be nice for some image/CAD stuff. Shame it's not really sensitive enough to pick out wrist/finger movement. Then you could use your entire desk as your touchpad! Magic-pad eat my dust.
I don't want to launch my own apps, I just want to consult. I've only recently learned to develop for Android (did some very cheap consulting gigs - including porting a small game for practically free).

Any advice on how to find clients?
You might want to have a look at the source of readability:

You were early to explore and early to retreat. Why are you so ready to give it up when last year there were what seemed endless possibilities? What did it? Was it because people called you a glasshole?
Well maybe you were a glasshole. Maybe Google Glass was not made to be in your face public. Maybe it was made for places that are interesting but not so much in the public.
Take GoPro for example. What is GoPro anyway? It's just a device that can only see what you see and can't tell you nothing. I bet if you showed up to dinner with a gopro on your head, people would not like that either. You would be a goproass.
No Google Glass is not done. Maybe for you. But Glass is just getting started. I see Glass as the ultimate expert assistance tool for everything from on site construction to medical operations. Having more than one set of eyes on you during crucial times might just be the next killer apps of the century.
I sure wish the pilots of AirAsia were wearing and streaming and getting assistance from a top notch Glass app. Maybe there's a Sullenberger out there who could have helped them through the storm.
I would wonder then if you were ever really friends. The people I call friends would tell me if I'm doing something that bothers them and then let me correct it (and vice versa).
"Install" button on Chrome/Ubuntu runs xdg-open apt:<package> that on Ubuntu 10.10 opens Ubuntu Software Center.

The homepage is not so updated, it does not mention the last Ubuntu version.

I don't see who that site can be useful to.
I hate a "me too" comment as much as everyone else, but I'd like to second what vidar said. The way you described the situation with your mom touched me. I'm quite glad there's still people like you around.
No, this is a legitmate question. Android will have the largest market share, but if Apple continues to own the profitable top of the market, then HTC et al will tear each other apart and destroy profitability until they are as worthless as commodity PC makers are today. And then it really will be a replay of Apple vs Microsoft - Apple is a profitable software/hardware company, Google is a profitable software company and the hardware-only companies are worth nothing.
His indoor voice, I am guessing.
This may be too far out there, but does anyone believe that perhaps Poulsen has some closeted sympathy for Manning given his black hat history and subsequent history with law enforcement? I'm not saying that is his motive, but I do wonder if it plays into his decision at all. He once did also actively pursue freedom of information through non-legal means.
Hey, can you shoot me an email? I'd like to ask you a few more questions off-thread.

It is going quite slow for me. All three tools.

Usually ajaxwhois.com and instantdomainsearch.com are completely instantaneous when I use those tools.
I don't think binary is really subtle enough to have a fine gradation of shades of grey. I interpret "Understand binary" to mean something along the lines of "be comfortable with the notion that the numbering system we use has an arbitrary base (10), and that you can still have the same radix notation with a base of 2." If you get the joke about 10 people, you probably understand binary, and vice-versa.

And now, for a completely different binary joke: I've got 1100011 but a bit ain't one.
Slow as in I didn't wait around to see the results, like >1 minute.
What I don't understand in the first place is why we want to create persistent sockets on top of a stateless, request-response protocol like HTTP. Sounds like a travesty to me.
>The crime here wasn't even that she was banned, it was threatening others with the same if they reported about what happened to her.

Hmmm, yes, there is some meat to that issue. I guess I must have missed that bit after getting fed up with the 14 paragraphs before the article brought it up. I will maintain my point that the article is trash, but now its for so thoroughly burring the lead in addition to overall bad writing style.
Mozilla actually has done this (sort of), once. They restricted French agency ANSSI's root CA to only be valid for TLDs ending in .fr, .gp, .gf, .mq, .re, .yt, .pm, .bl, .mf, .wf, .pf, .nc, .tf.
