> I finally broke down and included my "Man, Economy, and State" by Murray N. Rothbard

Too dense for me, reading pace was too slow. It's good, but reading it is hard work. I'd recommend "Mystery of Banking" first, which is smaller in scope, easy to read, very informative.

Sometimes I think HN should rename itself to "The Hacker Factor".

They're saying "Happy Holidays", not "Happy Holiday". There are all sorts of holidays in December, including New Years.

I read it several different ways.

Pressed for time, I use google reader and flip through the backlog rather fast. When not way behind, I check each one, again through google reader, and manage on weekends to often clear the queue.

I also check the postings and comments of several of my favorites to see if they have spotted anything interesting that i have missed. I do this when my time is even more limited.

If I am able to drain the queue, I check "ask" or "comments".

And of course check "threads" to see if there are any replies to my comments.

I seldom visit the home page. It seems that whenever I do, I have already seen at least the title.

It might be a bad sign that I have such a thorough multi-pronged approach.
I'm really excited to hear this, especially after the Pyramid announcement earlier in the year.

I used to do a lot of Pylons development, and although it was a great framework that gave you a bunch of ways to do just about anything, I always had lot of trouble figuring out the right way. Jarring especially considering the guiding Python principle of "There should be one - and preferably only one - obvious way to do it".

As a result, Pylons always felt like a big jumble of modules that were all sort-of right for what you wanted. I'm glad to see some of TG's full-stack opinionism coming into the fold. I hope all this merging will lead to something with the strengths of both projects, like the Rails+Merb merge.
The "voltage spike" method caused a cat-and-mouse game between Nintendo and the unlicensed game companies, where Nintendo would make a new NES board revision and then the companies had to figure out a way around their new current protection. Some companies even published directions in their game manuals for how to modify the NES console to get around the protection: https://files.catbox.moe/9t03p6.png
This is great, and I really appreciate the time you took to explain your thinking. I have similar feelings about the social networks out there, and I’m working on my own take on what I want. It’s very different than what you did, so I’m curious to try yours out and see what everyone has to say. We need more experiments like this - unabashedly anti-engagement and pro-utility.

Good luck with this!
I for one think this is exactly the right attitude.

Sure. Maybe it's literally always a Bad Thing to show a loading screen. But plenty of apps have made that choice, for some reason or other. Maybe the developers are incompetent, or maybe they have a combination of technical and resource constraints that make this the best choice for them. It doesn't matter. At least this loading page can improve users' experiences with apps that have, for whatever reason, made the choice to go this route.
There's nothing preventing you from writing imperative code in Lisp.
Google's IME (input method editor) for Chinese characters was the first of its kind. It's been cloned by Chinese businesses, and it had its initial teething problems re the data problem, but I still use it when on the web from Windows.
Good question. Early on when I was trying to create a milli-cent currency for subscription buying of content from a website we wondered if we offered a refund for our digital cash tokens if we'd get in trouble for it.

As it turned out the Digi-cash folks had all the patents and were being real dicks about licensing so we never got to test the question.

I can absolutely predict that if you can buy several hundred thousand dollars worth of bitcoins from person X, and then go to persons P, Q, R, ... Z and redeeem them back for cash, that the authorities will shut down that sort of thing quite quickly.
Yes but can you be sued for discriminating against lawyers?

> While it’s possible that some homes in this category are indeed being kept off-market by an owner holding out for a larger payout down the line, given the breadth of this category it’s implausible that this category represents any meaningful part of that total number.

The article doesn't show that it's a myth, it just says roughly half of the vacancies are market vacancies (lease ended and looking for new tenant), the other half are non-market, and then waves its hands and speculates that the non-market half probably isn't livable anyways. Maybe that's true but the article makes no effort to figure out if that's the case.
We'll definitely be there in under a hundred years, just probably not in a huge way. I just would be surprised if we're fighting wars there before then.

That said, humans are surprisingly belligerent, so maybe.
I agree, which is why I think a nuclear conflict is not that likely to (intentionally) happen between large nation-states. I was just responding to a hypothetical scenario where nukes are used in an attempt to neutralize a country's military, which I initially thought was what you were proposing but I see now you weren't and were making a different point entirely.

I don't think hard numbers were the focus of this post, and 10% vs 12% doesn't really change her point as far as I can see.

edit: Even 20% doesn't change her point or personal experiences.
Has anyone tried iOS 4.2 on the iPhone 3G and could comment on the performance?

I wonder if the perception is true in many cultures.

And you might wonder why he did not join board and what background check he failed ? Surprise .. in his SEC filing he said he is going to be a passive investor and then suddenly tried joining the board and then when was not allowed he tried to just waste news cycles by trying to buy the whole company . I understand lot of People are Elon fan boys. Which I don’t .. I prefer people who are good not horrible .. yeah great job with Tesla or space x .. but give me a break on him making Twitter free speech bastion .. if he had so much interest maybe he should go buy his buddies truth social and make that amazing .
Hard disagree that Win 10 is ok. The last decent Windows was 7, everything after that is a tailspin
Actually, funny story-

Originally, my co-founder recorded this himself. When we posted it, people complained that it was too 'unprofessional.'

Naturally, our response was to hire a professional voice actor to re-record the lines and upload the new version.
Direct listing is kinda novel, nah ?
The challenge with technology these days is that while the capabilities have gone in one direction, the culture has not necessarily gone in the direction many of us who came of age during an earlier era wish it might have. To some extent, I guess this is just a part of what happens when cutting edge things go mainstream -- no frontier lasts forever, sadly.
I wonder how much time this CEO spends in the office themself vs working remotely from various locations like business trips, hotels, planes, second homes, yachts, beaches, etc.

Anyways, the pandemic was the aberration. It brought about the new normal and many things, including increased remote work, will never be the same again.

It seems that neither Apple nor Facebook is particularly attentive to the developers who build on their platforms once the app is released. Curious models for companies whose success is largely due to the developer community.

Here's something that makes it easy for you to remember - from the PHP Manual - http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.using.php#faq.using.paramet...

'Array function parameters are ordered as "needle, haystack" whereas String functions are the opposite, so "haystack, needle".'
HTML5 is part of the way there but many browsers still crap out over trivial stuff. For example, for a long time (still might be true), Chrome would go nuts if someone tried to play an audio link that produced a 404 error.

So, this isn't a comprehensive answer, but hopefully shines some light on where HTML5 actually is with regard to providing an experience similar to a native app.
What if the name of A is only known at runtime? Referencing function and class names and if need be, also variable names, as string is very transparent to me. It also maps nicely to how it's implemented underneath - everything is stored and accessed in hashes.
This exact same line of thinking went through my head a few days ago. Since I'm starting to toy with learning Japanese I wondered how a programming language with a SOV ordered syntax would look like. I guess now I know.

Isn't this just Java?

But what are you comparing, the interpreter or run speed of bytecode? I haven't seen any comparisons between languages for several years, but PHP used to be fast for its class, and I can't think of many reasons myself of why that would've changed (doesn't mean it hasn't, but I'd like to see some evidence).
Sure, internally you will store it in something less ambiguous... but you still have to display the correct time & timezone and be able to set the time correctly (and note when the clock has been set). Time is generally set by humans according to their local time. So you do need to differentiate PST from PDT, even if something like that is kind of an edge case..

You’re taking about the dangers of living in a bubble and from consuming misinformation, right? Two things that FB hasn’t exactly helped with.
I have an instance running for about 5 days+ with 1,300,000 docs. It's mostly huge amount of porns, some weird forums & lot of marketplaces.

There's still some good finds like a 'sysadmin' forum with huge amount of good posts & tips.
In my opinion, this is a symptom of weak/ineffective regulation in the personal information space. The consequences for data breaches to the guilty parties have been minimal at best. Meanwhile responsibility for fraud has been pushed onto individuals via concepts like "identity theft". Even if the company in question was indeed reputable and well-known, most people don't have the technical expertise to evaluate any claims about security or privacy. Who would take that risk knowing that at the end of the day most of the consequences will fall on them personally?
I don't mind if the "worst corporations" do something fun like this every once in awhile.

At least it distracts them from their focus of "shortening your lifespan".

Also as far as marketing to kids goes, KFC is not really the problem that other fast food chains are, so its not really fair to level that criticism at them.
I really like that you are working on something original and different. Wish you luck.

What is the tech stack behind the product? Do you use WebRTC? Something home-build.
It's not exaggeration. It's disrespectful and taking their effort for granted.
If you're going to argue back against someone who's post has already been deleted as misinformation you're probably the reason we shouldn't be trusting the System.
All ontological arguments for God are of the form:

1. I carefully define God as having to exist.

2. Therefore, God exists.

All the work goes into the first part, however many volumes of obfuscation (hi, Dr Plantinga!) one hides it behind.

There are a number of problems with this approach.
> Imposing it on everyone is economic segregation.

I agree but only in the sense that it should include 39 more acres. And a mule.
It would be fine if you could for example pick up cobertura reports or maybe some other coverage formats (Golang reports, Xcode coverage reports)
I know I can do this with all my Jenkins plug-ins. And maybe GitLab does not want to do all of this and people should use Sonarqube instead.
But it is hard to go to GitLab when I have seen the light with Jenkins.
wow you're more accomplished than I am at 35 haha... really impressive. You'll go so far!
Yes, I was a little confused at why the article framed it as "a loss for ISPs". Did ISPs pay Ars Technica to put a spin on it?
I don’t know if I could live somewhere without a Trader Joe’s. Though, I only buy the pound plus chocolate bars and chocolate treats there.

I've seen a lot of weird antipatterns on the web, but this is my first time seeing this. What's the point of doing this???
>>> Government enforced 1 acre lots is a good proxy for "keep the poor people out".

Uhhh not in the very least. Many of us want to live in areas that have 3-acre minimum lots because of a little thing called nature. Those who want to live crammed into micro-apartments with 1 tree for every 30 people can, but those of us who want a whole town that is more grass that pavement should NOT be accused of classism or racism.

If you really want to help poor people, figure out a system that doesn't box them into ever-decreasing concrete apartments further and further from clean air.
Where do you draw the line with co-routines in that mental model? Languages like Erlang/Elixir built on BEAM are one approach to solving this problem of "synchronous programs calling components with varying scaling needs". It feels fundamentally wrong to me to deploy the components as isolated services simply because of scaling differences.

Maybe, over time, the ideas behind k8s and Service Meshes will start to close this gap of complexity? Or is it a language problem that will create the solution, ala Erlang?

How does one manage authentication/authorization in a distributed system? Is that on the service mesh also?

Complexity is a bitch!
I've had that happen repeatedly as well, both now and "back in the day". I have no idea if a higher or lower proportion of the tougher questions are being answered now than they "used to be", but my sense is that it is about the same. The tougher questions are just tougher to answer; that hasn't changed through time. What I do know for sure is that a much higher proportion of easy questions can be answered by searching google and following one of the first few SO links, which is valuable.
It's a good thing strict CS degree requirement is dying down. Hopefully we'd reach a time where companies automate how they find a fitting candidate. This is how I envision the system:

* A test on the core technologies, programming languages and paradigms the company uses.

* Test can be taken over a period of time, say 6 months maximum.

* The system is able to recommend questions that really identifies people good at a particular thing.

* The system is able to recommend books and other resources for job applicants.

* As an applicant, starting a test is only a declaration of intent to work at a certain company or related (in terms of core tech, etc) ones.

Maybe there are products like that already or are in the making. It'd be a more useful job application process. Otherwise I'd be happy to join anyone build it.

> Apple can't hurt Google by undermining it profits because it doesn't make the hardware and it gives the software away.

Apple can undermine Google's profits from mobile advertising, by giving the advertising revenue from iAds away (keep a small cut, give the rest to developers.) Google is trying to commoditize hardware, but Apple can do the equivalent with respect to advertising revenues. Apple doesn't need to make money from ads, google does.
Yes, it seems like it won't go as fast as a Segway, so it will just make you look lazy.

1) links, easily workable solutions to this - including your own just dont have them.

2) speed - it can be done without becoming sluggish, please dont hold the scrolling accountable for people who dont implement it correctly

3) tracking - aka bookmarking, if you cant use push state thats your problem, again please dont decree the scrolling broken because you dont know how to do it right.

4) impolite loading, it should happen automatically thats the whole point, it should happen before you see the end of the page but not as the page loads.

All in all sounds like your claiming a good usability technique doesnt work plainly because you cant make it work.

Real-life fallout 3?
I'd much rather see this as an on-demand permission request... when I see permissions that make no sense for what I think an app is, I tend not to install said app.. right off the bat.

I don't know if Android offers similar on-demand permissions, but it would be a much nicer experience.
It is stealing but it gets lumped into the "things that happen in NYC that screw you over" category where you lose patience over in taking more seriously past getting your own money back.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_line_%28telephony%29

> Later, independent systems applied multiple ringing frequencies for fully selective ringing. (The Bell System eschewed frequency selective ringing.) The ringers in party-line phones were tuned to distinguish several different ringing signals so that only the desired party's phone would actually ring. In this arrangement the only inconvenience of a party line was occasionally finding the line in use (by hearing talking) when one picked up the phone to make a call. If one of the parties used the phone heavily, then the inconvenience for the others was more than occasional, as depicted in the 1959 comedy film Pillow Talk.

I was going to say "not that ancient!" because I remember using a shared party line but that was in the 1980s, so pretty old I guess.
Is that what he did?

There is obviously a very large spectrum of how you could obtain a password, of varying degrees of "ethical". I have to ask you to be specific which you want to talk about.
Most revenue means more than 50% of revenue, not all significant revue. If a work get 10% or 20% of its total revenue in its second decade than there is a significant increase in the incentive to create and publish if the creator owns that work for its second decade.

Again, I agree that Copyright lasts much too long. I was responding to the statement "no economic advantage of copyright after 5-10 years" (which it seems I misunderstood anyway, Houshalter replied that they were referring to no net economic benefit to society).
That's lovely apart from the fact that having a camera button is inconsistent with tab navigation.
There's much more variety on the Internet and barriers vanished.

Everything is more accessible and it's easier and cheaper to deliver content.

Sounds like a major improvement to me.
I am 99% sure that they did say glycogen. It was glyco-something, anyway. It might have been on HN, although I think I remember fittit. Regardless, that's not important.

Also, it's probably true that it's not very good to exercise after waking, but nobody said you have to exercise after waking, just that you have to do it before eating breakfast :)
I don't see the problem with this. Etoro is not a scam and CFDs are not shady in the least bit. It's just an ad, which other browsers have as well. I don't think this guy really knows what he's talking about or if he does, maybe he should state more clearly what he finds objectionable. Ads in brave? The kind of ad?

I find it funny that we can find plenty of bread but flour is a completely different story. I'm a little surprised the demand - I recognize how useful flour is, but I'm surprised so many people actually feel confident enough to do anything with it (not that baking is that uncommon, but I only know a few people who know how to stuff like bake bread). On the other hand I guess it is the perfect time learn
