Amen to all your points. I find this really disappointing. The "yeah, but they are a non-profit so you can be assured they are good custodians of the product" no longer goes for me.
Programming itself is relatively low on the ladder. Generic CRUD, and clue code doesn't require very specialised skills.

On other hand for that work to be useful proper software engineering and architecture is needed. And these hopefully take input from computer science.
You are being a bit too subtle for many people. I think most reading your post above are going to understand it as claiming that the Signal APK downloadable from Signal's website requires Google Play Services or the Play store in order to run. That is not the case, as any LineageOS user can tell you.
XNU borrows heavily from FreeBSD, in the past and in the present. Apple is very much using software whose copyright belongs to FreeBSD and its contributors specifically, so I think it would be appropriate to say that it is theirs.
We purposefully didn’t create a web page for it because we wanted people to engage on our Discord server. Once we are ready for wide-spread usage, we’ll release a stable build.

This will be happening “soon”.
It's secret, so nobody knows for sure, but my guess is that most of the people on the list are not citizens, probably most are not residents either.

"According to leaked documents published by The Intercept, there were more than 47,000 people on the No Fly List as of August 2013, including 800 Americans." [1]

The recruitment and harassment beforehand is also somewhat unique.

Given that fork() isn't part of stable APIs list, it might end in seccomp list.

But there is hope, just like with mingw, termux can use the OS official APIs to launch processes.
If you go with the Many-Worlds Interpretation, then trying to remove the randomness is nonsensical: the world just branches (in proportions as described by the Schrodinger equation), people on every branch have experience, and "randomness" is just what branch you find yourself on. The randomness of what branch you find yourself in is just like the randomness of what person you find yourself born as.

All classical theories and interpretations of QM already have indexical uncertainty (the randomness of what person you find yourself born as). MWI avoids adding any new kinds of entities not implied by the Schrodinger equation and effectively explains away quantum randomness by implying that it's the same thing as indexical uncertainty, instead of being a separate kind of randomness.
#2 - Really? Nice. Any pointers on how? I'm mucking around with it right now and can't seem to get it to work :/
Neither did I. But I did see a message that my computer has won the lottery! Oh my, and I never win anything! Woohoo!!
It is broken up into separate patches as well (scroll down the homepage).

But the NONE encryption makes a lot of sense in a "use SSH more" perspective. When you need to move piles of totally non-private data, but want to use a secure authentication mechanism (and message authenticity system) for issuing shell commands...
"happens on Twitter" is obviously marketing but "gets mentioned on Twitter" isn't far from the truth
It's also worth noting that what you've mentioned about "caching dependencies" isn't caching them on disk (we do that already and extensively) but instead being able to cache it in memory to make dependency resolution faster. I don't think that's basic stuff and most users don't seem to have a problem with the speed of such things.
Chrome and Firefox don't support features within moments of someone conceiving them. I've seen discussions about what features will be coming to Chrome in the future - rarely does a feature take less than six months to go from idea to stable implementation in Chrome. Firefox is a little different because Mozilla is pumping APIs into Firefox OS and then moving them to the main Firefox browser.

IE has issues with implementations even with their slow release cycle, as does Safari. While in theory a quicker release cycle probably should result in less stability and more bugs, there doesn't really seem to be this correlation in practice. A good way to check this out is to have a look at caniuse.com and see which browsers have issues with feature implementations (although caniuse is lagging behind a bit of recent). IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari will all have issues. To Apple's credit, Safari is the only browser which seems to be willing to regularly remove buggy features.
You probably want to be using your own tap and the `root_url` in `bottle do` blocks. I'm open to improving your use-case if you can file a feature request about what you're trying to do. Thanks!

Side note, but you can use SourceTree regardless, right?

I assume it has some features that are paid (or only work with Bitbucket?), but I've found it brilliant for managing GH repos - one of the nicest free tools I use.
That sounds like a Freudian remark- the stock exchange is in fact gambling for many people.
They emailed, sent a phone notification and called their customers to tell them to switch
I seem to have upset the hive. Lol.
I think it would probably be worthwhile for the WHO to send over as their investigator the president of the microbial threats forum from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine -- the collective scientific national academy of the United States of America.

Fortunately, they did. His name is Peter Daszak.

Their are several ways to can synchronize the latitudes and longitudes such that you get a repeating pattern. This lets you cover the continental US without having global coverage.

a commercially viable "initial" version of Starlink's service for the US would be possible with 400 satellites, while 800 would be enough for "significant" global coverage. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/elon-musk-says-sta...

Meanwhile 1200 was required for “full” global coverage. Polar orbits of course are another option for targeted coverage of high value markets.
CD Projekt Red also has a profit sharing arrangement with its employees, that not only means they're getting compensated better than they likely could with most other game developers (certainly other Polish ones), but also created the pressure for a death march. The further the game was delayed, the less time for sales within the year (including missing Christmas rush and the like), which would reduce profit for the year, and directly impact employee compensation.

So the pressure to deliver sooner rather than later also directly benefited the employees financially, even if it negatively affected their time and work/life balance.
The risk here is that Jetbrains has significant operations in Russia. It is likely a lot easier to get an FSB agent hired into a Russian office. And in fact the Russian government can just order and enforce cooperation. The USA does this all the time and every operation is classified. I would not expect anything less from Russia or China. The companies registration in the Czech Republic (or anywhere) does not prevent this.

Kasperkey is even more obvious because the founder was involved with the KGB even before the 2017 ban. It should never have been used. Now maybe Kasperkey's affiliation is akin to a "communist youth party" card and not necessarily a genuine affiliation but the point is that you can't trust and then verify in these situations. You have to assume that everyone is hostile unless proven safe.
Probably far better than Angular, yet will still be ignored by the corporate world... which is a real pity.

Wind turbines! :)
I will listen to almost any music when focused in work, however, the volume will be quite minimal and only really audible as a background noise, I also find that it’s useful to initiate breaks too (not always) , when I hear something that triggers me particularly, I will just tune in and maybe increase the volume for a few mins break before refocusing to work. I tent to only do this when alone and deeply focused, other times there usually enough going on around to provide similar subliminal distractions.
Stand up for yourself!
To add to that - if you prefer writing the body of the post itself in markdown, and write in VIM, here's a little snippet that might help:

:%!markdown_py

where markdown_py is your markdown-to-html tool of choice.
This will take the whole buffer and turn it into HTML;
Otherwise, just select what you want transformed in visual mode, press : and go use it like this:

:'<,'>!markdown_py

Just felt the need to share - any command line utility can be used in VIM :)

(Emacs, VSCode and other editor-using people feel free to chime in, I'm sure there's lots of cool approaches to this)
The piece doesn't note the additional fun fact that the website to buy the tokens is blocked in the US presumably to avoid an SEC investigation.

edit: Blocked at the cloudflare level without even an explanation of why if you go there.
Yeah, if one thinks that kids are expensive they're probably making the right decision of not having any. It is true having that children require changes in the parents lives, which are not only financial, a lot of time gets sunk into family and children. One must enjoy it. I personally do though I can't say I would've said the same thing before having my family, I did not know what it would be like. There is a great positive side and that is the great reward this brings. My life took a different turn for sure and it is for the better.

This just isn't true. Cars, for instance, are regulated since you need a license to drive. I think the world is better off for that.
That is because there is no mining. A proof of stake coin would also use electricity but MobileCoin doesn't even do that.
There is, in many circles. But the official doctrine says that there is no reverse racism or sexism.

This doctrine is for example defended by the Python Software Foundation and its corporate activists.

It's standing on the shoulders of UPI in India. Do they also plan to bring India's UPI to rest of the world?
You say you are a startup guy and then you just sit and wait? Entrepreneurs are the guys who go out to find problems to solve and then solve them. So you say you did nothing and got nothing in return. That is one side of beeing an entrepreneur.

And by the way, if you really consider doing any work without payment, better call it "internship". Otherwise serious business people will never consider you. Who works for nothing is probably just a waste of time and energy.
We have hard labor. That's why the 13th amendment makes an exemption to the ban on slavery for prisoners.

In the gulags that effort was at least spent on public works projects, here it's to make rich people slightly richer with next to free labor.
Nope, I'm not logged in. If I am logged in, the link simply redirects to the dashboard page and that's it.

But that's off the point. Regardless of the workarounds, whatever the goodwill DigiCert has accumulated with the developer community over the years, they are actively squandering it now and they don't seem to care.
Or when they mean quadratic or super linear.
Those Eurocom laptops look neat, thanks for the tip.

I'm just a bit surprised if they manage to squeeze out significantly better thermal performance than Dell does out of a similarly bulky laptop.

Have you actually verified the core frequencies over time with a tool like CPU-z when running a workload that pegs all cores at 100%?

The Precision model I have doesn't stutter or feel any slower under load. I've never managed to make it feel slow, even when running heavy physics simulation codes on all cores in the background. But when you actually monitor frequencies, you see it clocks down by around 20%.
TSA theatre isn't complete and total nonsense. The illusion of safety has all kinds of secondary benefits, both offensively and defensively.
I've rarely noticed that. Are you saying someone will copy both the question and the answer from a place like experts exchange or a blog? Do they post them under different accounts to make it seem less obvious? Or do you mean the semi-rare occasion where someone cites a blog post?

I think I've seen an unsourced copy only once, I think it was a new answer where nobody else had seen it yet and I edited in a link to the source. But this is many years ago, I don't remember the situation exactly (and I visit stackexchange sites a lot, more than most people I think, since it's the only social site where I permit myself to go to during work hours).
> but have you considered you might simply be wrong?

You don't have to be wrong to be downvoted, most of HN just has to feel you're wrong, and boy oh boy - can the HN group-think be wrong (even on facts)
People who know what they're doing can build a lot of things with python. It just so happens that I am not one of those people so I try to avoid it with a ten foot stick. I still use things built with python everyday.
Can't you direct users to the "report a problem" link in the email receipt that Apple sends to them? That's how I've always dealt with users wanting a refund on iTunes.
Thanks!

We offer the fastest, most intuitive SaaS platform for Dog Daycares with world class support.

Currently there are 2 direct competitors, one has a slow product with poor support and the other has a decade old product that's inexplicably convoluted. I wouldn't consider anyone else on the market a true competitor (and our customers agree).

A couple of our favorite features are photo/video report cards over SMS, 1-click check-in/out with payments, and the customer app where they can request reservations.

Depends on where they want to send the remittance to. You're not going to get that for places like Somalia.
Something like Kurzweil's Law of Accelerating Returns [1] helps explain this ostensibly unbelievable fact. It reminds of a similar statistic about the number of years that passed before a country's GDP doubled. UK did it in 154 years (early 17th century to mid 18th century) and China doubled its GDP in just 12 years [2].

Excerpt:

In the end, I didn’t go on the date. I wanted to introduce myself to a handsome stranger at my own pace, rather than be exposed in one fell swoop. I couldn’t reconcile the tectonic imbalance in power and information that came with the note: He knew so much about me, and I knew nothing about him.

But the experience raised a question I haven’t been able to shake. As digital identities become increasingly persistent across the Web, is it still possible to reinvent oneself online?
Most of the time I work as a contract software and hardware engineer. I usually wear Jeans and a T-shirt for that.

Sometimes I take a short contract doing my old job of management consultant. Then I tell the client I'll wear a suit if they want me to, but I charge $30 per hour more if I do (around a 20% premium). I make it clear that they get the same advice and analysis no matter what I wear. Every client has paid the extra. I'm sure it says something about something, but I'm not really sure what.
This is funny, I can't believe this made it past a peer review.
"If anyone mentions Dropbox to me one more time, I will scream. I'm sure it's a wonderful solution, but I have deep misgivings about handing my data over to someone I don't trust."

It's really disturbing how eagerly most people are willing to hand over personal information to corporations; whether it's data to the likes of Dropbox, movie viewing preferences to Netflix, book reading preferences to Amazon, all of one's email conversations to Google, and a list of who one's friends are to Facebook.

I could go on and on listing information that the vast majority of people give away about themselves without a second thought to get some "free" service.

And the saddest thing is that few people care, or even think about what they're doing.

Hopefully, as the general public becomes more computer literate, and groups like the EFF and ACLU educate them on the privacy implications of these technologies, their attitudes might change for the better.
Nope. I think you are dead one; and probably put the point I was trying to make even better :)
Don't forget that this is cross-4chan, not just /b/
Yup - huge fan 20yrs (!!) ago. Great community with plenty of players back then. I still log into my main character every couple of years just to check they’re still going.
This is the situation I'm in. I feel like it not be feasible for me to keep up with the very high workload for another 4-years, hence why I'm considering switching to medicine. I know realize this sounds provocative but it's not intentional, medicine is genuinely quite a bit easier here than the program I'm in. Probably quite comparable to a regular engineering degree from a good university.
> Is there any use case for cryptocurrency and/or NFT’s that isn’t going to primarily result in illegal usage, scams, or grift?

No. Only the malicious or naive will tell you otherwise.
how do we know that the magnetic field is a product not just the iron core of the Earth but perhaps large quantity of selected molecule in the atmosphere? Nitrogen or oxygen?

Just to clarify they are in 4 countries. They also appeared to be doing the last mile delivery in these countries themselves (at least I could confirm in the USA) which probably helped with their premium brand.

That said, I still agree with the above post. Fitbit has 1,600 employees and actually ships globally. This was excessive.
Debugging Cloudflare Tunnel is PITA. We are using it in production, and have most random outages that leave us guessing what triggered it. The errors are vague to say the least, and there is not much in terms of existing community. Otherwise, it is easy to setup and works great when it does.
> Where do you find your sense of purpose working in the private sector?

In some sense, I don't.

At this point in my life, my tech job essentially funds my living expenses: a place to live, food, etc. That isn't to say that I don't like my job - I do, I am still passionate about doing a good job, and I know that my work helps other people - but my purpose doesn't involve work necessarily.

My sense of purpose lies outside all of that. I practice martial arts regularly. I volunteer as a crisis counselor for a local crisis center doing all sorts of things. I love getting outside on a cold day and just going for a walk. I love being with friends. Work provides me the money and the flexibility to do all of it.

I would suggest that, if you are moving into the private sector but still want to serve without worrying about profits, look for charities and other nonprofits in your area and get involved. Maybe even think about what fields of interest matter most to you (is it homelessness? LGBTQ issues? immigration-related issues? mental health?) and find resources near you that are addressing those things.

Working in private sector can provide you the foundation for doing other work elsewhere at the same time. Work doesn't have to provide everything.
1 and 2 make no sense unless it's a long-term business trip. But if you're working and expected to work, it definitely shouldn't count towards vacation (otherwise it's a vacation and you don't do jack shit for the company)

Title of the hn entry should be: Path.com gets contacts from your iPhone's address book?

Nice find - I couldnt believe if they are doing this.
Sometimes good posts are worth rerunning.
For the last week I've lived utterly alone. I didn't leave the house or interact with other people at all, except to buy some groceries on the first day. I didn't even have internet access until yesterday.

As a 15 year old I'm sure this would have sounded like a dream; I get to do whatever I want, and there's no one around to bug me? Sign me up! And yet, when I actually lived it, it felt more like a kind of personal hell. I became depressed, anxious, and apathetic within just a few days. Turns out human contact is a lot more important to me than I would have guessed. I won't be repeating that experience any time soon if I can help it.

The scary thing is that there are many, many people who have lived this way for years or even decades, and will probably continue to do so for the rest of their lives (see http://www.wizardchan.org). I can't imagine how a person could stay sane.
How many vacation days? I have relevant experience for SoundCloud (and also use and like Ableton) but I've recently decided I should probably try to visit my family more often.

You don't really understand why things are done a certain way until you've experienced first hand at how horrible it is to maintain a 6,500 line php file that's mixed with sql, php, html and a ton of inline css in a project that has about 500kb of mixed php/html/css files and like 30 different dynamic pages.

It's quite possible to write PHP applications which aren't that terrible, tightly coupled or unmaintainable. Perhaps you can blame PHP's low bar for entry for making those kind of bad practices possible, but it's not as if the language requires you to work that way.

Although I do see that kind of thing a lot in Wordpress, still.
Unfortunately, no. I intentionally constrained an ethernet link at 10Mb (in the PHY layer, so any bugs in the network stack is irrelevant) and both Fast.com and Cloudflare misread the upload speeds up to 20 times (what should be 9.something Mbps became >200Mbps). Speedtest.net is immune to this, even using their browse client. I don't know what's causing this, but I've ruled out browser bugs. I haven't tested Google's though.
Whilst asking your bank/CC company to block a merchant is possible, it's not a reliable way of ensuring you aren't charged by the same company again — they could make use of a different payment processor (e.g. going from Stripe to BrainTree) or merchant account, and from the bank's perspective, a different entity made a charge and the ban would not be respected.

That's not to say that asking your bank to block Merchant X isn't useful, but the bank can't guarantee that the merchant won't be able charge you again via a different payment processor/etc., and is why some banks are hesitant to offer this functionality.
