Let me ask you this: what is the largest percentage of your total caloric intake that you, personally, have ever produced for yourself using hand/low-tech farming labor?

Maybe you should give it a try before advocating it.
They also have generous early access programs.

(And for anyone who wonders, no, I'm not paid and I don't use it - because of ergonomics - for me it is almost as painful to use as Macs are for me. I see inconsistencies and weird defaults everywhere since I'm a NetBeans / VSCode / Sublime Text kind of person. I just love Jetbrains business model.)
Of course not, they evolve over time according to decentralized usage (not necessarily from ignorance.) However, this does not imply that anything anyone says is just as valid as any other, nor that any proposed meaning shift enacted by any small group ought to be immediately and unquestioningly accepted by everyone else. Others are also perfectly free to reject the proposal and continue to use the old meaning -- and to advocate for this, too. Only time will tell which group wins.

Just as words sometimes change meaning, there are many more cases where some people provisionally use a word with a new meaning, but this new meaning fails to take hold and vanishes. This happens when enough other people fail to adopt the proposed new meaning, and stick to the old meaning.

In this case, I am one of those people, and I am encouraging others to do the same. I believe I have very good reasons, and I am sharing them.

Redefining first and third world to mean "rich" and "poor" is unnecessary since we already have words for those meanings, and we have no other convenient words for what "first world" and "third world" conventionally mean in their original usage.

The desire to redefine them is in my opinion solely motivated by the desire for a euphemism to say something "nicer" sounding than "poor." Well, "poor" is not a nice thing; it's never going to sound nice. That desire is merely the euphemism treadmill at work. if you are going to call a group "poor," at least have the decency to say so directly rather than trying to hide behind a euphemism.

Besides, we have no other convenient words to say "aligned with capitalism during the Cold War" and "unaligned with either capitalism or Communism."
"Let's just pave and plow every single inch of the planet"

How does "we don't need to use virgin wilderness" equate to "let's pave and plow every single inch of the planet"?

Be specific.

"We need to slam the brakes and go in reverse."

I'll repeat what I said to the other guy: you first.

In fact, virtually every advanced society is either population-neutral or actually losing people.

Do you have some links regarding their disastrous encryption? The security guys i know speak highly of telegram and AFAIK it has been open sourced recently, but i am open to new information.
Yeah you can search for it but it's not obvious from the site. I just think it's a shame that it's touted as open source but they don't appear to have given much thought to the open source demographic. It's not on f-droid.
This is the opposite of that. This is free speech coupled with poor education and misinformation spreading like wildfire to large amounts of people via the internet.

The solution, in my opinion, is a massive investment in public education (schools for the next generation and reskilling and educating for adults paid like a job via a stipend) and a shifting of American politics to the left so you actually have a left and a right like most democratic countries.right now you have a far right and right wing party.
> I think a lot of HN readers who are fairly sophisticated forget that half of the world is not. Diverse information diets are not a good thing, because most people are not equipped to understand what is reasonable.

Sophisticated people are just as prone to bias and cognitive error as unsophisticated people. The danger with limiting the spread of information is that the task of deciding what to censor is vulnerable to corruption by the interests of the censor.
I don't. A civil war in US is no laughing matter. US has nukes.

This matters both because some could end up being used if the country ignites, and also because US serves as the linchpin of the MAD doctrine, which kept the world relatively stable for over a half century now. US becoming unable to credibly deter other nuclear nations would probably not cause a nuclear war, but would definitely leave space for other big powers to make big changes in the geopolitical landscape.
Yes, by many metrics things did look to be improving, but overall it's strongly true that Trump did not deliver what his populist base was looking for, and would not deliver it if given another four years. One thing that is telling in this regard is that the far dissident right, who were adamant supporters in 2016, have completely dropped support.
Are you envisioning the next civil war will be simultaneous sieges of all the major cities in the US?

No, most likely the same North-South split, with a bit of interior, vs exterior element to it.
Heh, interesting read. Maybe I should adjust. I meant to imply that our equity is sizable (because we're still early-stage) while our salary is still competitive with later-stage startups (our founder is self-funding off his last $545M exit).
Exactly this. This is the first thing i though of. You need multiple entities and multiple channels, so you can manage them independently and have different permissions on each.
i'm here for the forseeable future. trying to get a startup off the ground with some other misc. income sources. not yet enough cash flow to afford an apartment :-)

Hey by the way, the slack channel, Reactiflux, is actually pretty strong, check it out. Many people there are actually using React on large scale apps, myself included, and there is plenty of discussion.
ptpython is awesome too, sort of in the middle.
There is also a difference in what is legal and what is acceptable. A good example from this case is not inviting her to an even with Al Gore because women "would kill the buzz". It's probably legal as long as it isn't part of a very explicit larger scheme to discriminate women, but it's plainly wrong.

I also don't get how, exactly, women are buzzkillers. But maybe I just don't speak bro.
I work within an ISP in Australia and have dealt with providing information to the Federal Police for investigations. I was under the impression that we already recorded that information. Looks like I was wrong.
If you want to learn git, open a terminal and read the man pages, create a dummy repository, push changes to it, pull from it, clone it, merge it, etc. Don't start with something like Gitbox because its hides all the details and more importantly the beauty and elegance of git.
I can't wait for the day we go beyond simply "privacy vs. no privacy" arguments. Privacy isn't a boolean thing. It's so much more nuanced than that.
There's a spec table toward the top of the article that specifically mentions Linux support (though that's a bit vague).
You could certainly make an argument that people who are just starting to learn Python should learn Python 3 instead of 2 no? And that being the case, it'd be nice if they could just use what they are used to instead of having to learn all the changes on top of the language itself
> ...and a strong debut -- even if it didn't sell well.

I'm not sure one follows from the other... how exactly did the Fire make a "strong debut"?
It's always especially sad to hear about someone passing away who's left such a strong impression on the people around them. I was/am a religious person, but whether I think about it from a religious or secular sense, there's just not much comfort other than to acknowledge that the one truth in life is that we've all got to go at some point, and try to live for the best in the face of that fact.

I totally agree that weightloss is more mental than physical. I've struggled with mild to moderate obesity for most of my life. I'm 6'0" and I've weighed up to 250lbs at my heaviest, down to about 170lbs at my lightest. The first half of my twenties were pretty much the only time in my life I've been at a normal BMI.

The times in my life when I've been able to control my weight have taken complete self-control and continuous denial of my urge to indulge. For me there's very little I enjoy as much as a rich meal, even if I feel like crap afterward. By contrast, the constant feeling of wellness that comes with being trim just doesn't seem to measure up.
Sure. I'm just saying that they have business motives to do so, it is not merely out of the kindness of their hearts. Though I am sure it is also partly the latter, they have some wonderful engineers. :)
If you zoom in, much of the city is over $4 per square foot, some almost $5. That seems more realistic. I wonder how rent control gets factored in.

Heh. The graphic for the question: "What boards do you most typically lurk?" is broken. Attempting to open it in a new tab results with the following error message:

The parameter 'chs=345x1000' specifies a chart with

Is this a bug in the doc? Or a bug in Google Docs? It would seem to be a bug in Google Docs if the size of the chart was auto-generated based on the data, but exceeded the limits of Google Docs chart generation. Especially since on the resultant page it just looks like a broken image with no feedback to the user.
I've mentored several people who have wanted to learn Ruby. I universally start them with installing RVM (http://rvm.beginrescueend.com) and then the Ruby Koans.
Also, the progress bar that they used to have for starting up OSX (removed in Leopard I think?) had no actual relation to anything the machine was doing, it was just timed to move across at a particular rate based on the average startup speed of your computer.

A completely fake progress bar--it was just something for you to look at.

Every web developer I know is using Sublime and all the videos you see on Youtube about frameworks are also using Sublime. So it's clearly one of the favorite text editor here.
This is cool RIGHT NOW because WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT THE UNDERLYING OS IS? For a user trying to bring something to market, here's what matters:

1) it's cheaper (theoretically, due to performance savings from not dealing with hardware virtualization), and
2) it looks like a docker host

I honestly expected Docker Hub to expand into this kind of operation before anyone else, but Joyent, from out of nowhere, has done it instead. Why should anybody care that they're doing it with a Solaris-based kernel, Linux, on NetBSD, as MAME machines, VIC-20 cartridges, or with 1402 machine images and druidic spells?

To the user, it's just a magical world where your Docker host always expands to whatever size you need it to (and you of course get a bill for the usage).

The real test will be whether or not this is cost-competitive to deploying Docker swarms on other public cloud providers. If the performance and tenancy claims are as they claim (or even the same order of magnitude, which seems reasonable), and they're not insanely greedy with pricing, this could be the biggest tech since Linux itself.

React's rendering works differently than traditional JS apps. He's not re-inventing the wheel, he's adapting it to a new vehicle.

Also, hell, if you want to make a good demo project then re-writing something is a great place to start. A demo project that got me hired was just a designer and I's answer to Adobe Kuler.
Where does Machine Learning play into this? For the estimate?

kind of... you can create a hash of the video, and store the hash on a blockchain.

Then when viewing the video in the future, you can check it's hash and compare it to the one stored on chain to be sure the video wasn't tampered with.
oh, that's more dysfunctional! yikes.
You honestly think people are tackling senior citizens just because there are fewer police officers to stop them? You might be the one with a questionable worldview here, not the author.
The 10x engineer being an enabler is a nice interpretation but the original definition of a 10x engineer is a skilled engineer working unhealthy hours.

The enabler 10x engineer may be true - even though I've never found managers so good to multiply their team output dramatically while I've met 10x engineers building incredibly fast and slaving away for a chance to make millions. It could be that's because I found enablers in large companies, where no-one is motivated enough to make millions for rich shareholders somewhere.
I really think a lot is economic motivation. Asians tend to carry more cash and seniors are easy targets. If you look at recent home robberies in the Bay Area, most that were targeted are Asian, particularly Indians because they usually have a lot of jewelry/gold.
I agree. We should really try to keep this crazy US bullshit outside of Europe, but unfortunately I see it creeping in already :(.

US had a big cultural impact on the rest of the world.
Where’s the “Why this question is a trap” section? Honestly companies asking this question are a red flag.

Here is how I fixed it.

(Error 81 due to a false positive filament jam -- occurs because the encoder wheel gets stuck and isn't turned by the moving filament)

The problem was indeed the encoder wheel getting stuck which triggered a false error.
Your instructions do discuss the encoder wheel here. They say to move the encoder wheel to the "back side." This was confusing to me for a few reasons:
- I didn't know which side was the back side
- I didn't know why this would help
- The wheel didn't seem to move when I nudged it anyway.

If this is indeed the right fix for some people, can I suggest that the instructions give a little more detail? Like:
- Check if the wheel groove is not aligned with the top plastic hole. If necessary to fix the alignment, use a flat head screwdriver or a similar tool to gently push the wheel closer to the back side of the Smart Extruder.

_The real problem_
For me, the real problem was that the wheel didn't turn because there was a combination of too much wheel axle friction (between the wheel and its axle) and/or not enough wheel groove friction (between the wheel groove and the plastic filament)

_Verifying this problem_
While the printing is in progress, shine a light through the top or right side of the 3D printer case. You can watch the encoder wheel. It should turn in sync with the filament passing through the wheel groove.
If there is an error, you can verify that the error happens because the encoder wheel stopped turning while the filament was flowing. This was happening for me in one particular sticky part of the encoder wheel's rotation.

_The solution_
1: I applied lubricant to the encoder wheel axle.
- I didn't even need to take the cartridge apart, I just used a needle to carefully apply some to the axle and manually turned the wheel while letting it drip down into the bearing.

2: I roughed the plastic of the encoder wheel groove.
- I used an exacto knife to make tiny scrapes all around both sides of the inside groove of the wheel.

3: Test that these steps are working by holding the (cooled down) extruder in your hand, and manually inserting a small length of plastic into the top hole. Move the filament in and out and ensure that the wheel is turning smoothly in sync with the filament passing through the wheel groove inside the cartridge.

I hope this helps others! I know it's a very old product now, but maybe there's still some people out there still having this problem. Good luck :thumbs-up:

That does sound very different than Python. Admittedly, I haven't used Julia, because I never had to for professional purposes. For personal projects, I use PyTorch, because I find it easy to use, intuitive, and I have a lot of experience with it. Maybe one day I will be forced to use Julia and will appreciate what it brings :)
Having implemented a code editor, I can assure you that not re-rendering lines and blocks of code is also a worthy effort. It probably just doesn't fit into react's incremental computation model yet?
Nothing better than ambiguous language in psuedo-legal documents.
It gets better. It really does. Yeah, you have to learn the lifetime formalism and how to express the stuff you want in it, but once you get your head in the game, learn the Rust patterns, it's no more frustrating than your average statically typed language. Or maybe it's a bit more of a pain than C++, but the payoff is worth it.

I'm not necessarily on the "CEO salaries are sane" side but..

Failure does not mean that salaries should necessarily be low. If you take the argument(s) above (1% profit increase is worth $100m to a $10b company), it applies equally to negative salaries. When you have such big companies, the best possible CEO is worth a lot (in dollar terms) more than the next best one.

I think correct question is are CEOs being selected for these sorts of reasons or are they being selected for other reasons. Is the system corrupt?
Actually it didn't it ran in the bog standard 320x200 256 color mode. mostly because using "mode x" back then wasn't as widely supported on lots of low end machines.

> If you want to explain this to a nontechnical person…

It would be interesting to get the materials from the trial and see how both sides explained the patent to the judge and the jury. During pretrial both sides will have made a technology presentation to the judge to explain their take on the background of the patent and what it does, and then during the trial both sides will try to explain to the jury what the patent means.

Some of these presentations can be very good content-wise and very well produced and presented.
