Messages are events.

Reactive programming - you mean like reactive like reactive manifesto?

That seems to be more about idealized system properties than about a style of programming. (Plus at least one bit of silliness, w.r.t. blocking / non-blocking being inherently inequal.)
I would love to use this for compiler analysis, I need to research how this can be used with tools/ssa to do whole program logic queries.
Left shift + left alt + PrtSc = dark mode for word and all sorts via high contrast mode on Windows
Oh well, I'm more of a rolling stones fan anyway. (smiley face)
China would not hesitate to use your Chinese branch as a leverage to influence your business even in the US, e.g. Airlines, NBA, etc. Unless you are decoupled from China, you are not immune.
Great feedback! Thank you!

- "No dual monitor support"

awesome feature! I'll work on it.

- "set the wallpaper as the small-sized version of the photo"

Should be the hd image. I'll investigate it and hopefully fix it soon!

- "How can I quit the app ?"

cmd+q when the popup is opened. Right-click the menu icon is definitely a very good suggestion! I'll implement it.

- "The textarea doesn't support mouse wheel scroll."

If you tap "Read more", it will allow you to scroll. There's a known bug that shows the scroll indicator when the textarea is minimized though. I'm working on it.

Again, thank you so much for your great feedback!
> If you misrepresent me here, what do you do with any news article; just twist it to fit your agenda? Why should anyone listen to such a shameless misrepresenter?

You’re the one who’s twisting news articles to fit your agenda. Here’s what you’re doing: you’re denying firsthand accounts of the actual conditions inside the camps, and then you are turning around to justify what’s happening inside the camps.

Did China have a terrorism problem in the first place? Did Xinjiang terrorists hijack an airliner and fly it into a skyscraper in Shanghai? Of course not. Uighur “terrorism” is a lie that you are telling to justify atrocities at the very same time that you deny that those atrocities are happening in the first place.

Meanwhile you’re accusing me of not being open to dissenting views, such as...having a state-controlled media that doesn’t publish dissenting views. You’re accusing me of being unwilling to think differently while championing the cause of throwing “steppe people” into prison camps for the crime of being so stubborn that they think differently from the rest of China.

I’m not threatened by your opinion, because your opinion is an incoherent mess built on a foundation of lies. What I am threatened by is the geopolitical power of the liars, torturers, rapists, and mass murderers you are defending.
CRTs had way better contrast and brightness than the early LCDs. And since CRTs don't excite phosphors on black pixels you could literally extend the life of your monitor (and spare your eyeballs) by using dark mode.
Whenever I find myself in a situation like this, I always ask myself "what can I do to move things forward?"

The answer is always to not wait for other people. They have their priorities and you are rarely one of them.

Call the engineer you spoke to.

Call the recruiter. Don't email: find his number and call him.

Call anyone else there you had contact with.

It's perfectly normal to want to know what's going on after any phase of an interview. Be proactive.
> and really ensure your mindset ("set") is positive and open

Everyone says this and it's little more than bro science. So if you have a bad experience from the drugs, it was because you weren't in a positive headspace? Sounds like No True Scotsman.

Hype of course, do you really not see that?
I always remember "100 basis points = 1%". It's a little confusing since percentages are scalars, so really 1 bps is just the scalar 1/10000.
Windows 11 ARM runs blazing fast when virtualized on the M1 Mac. The best Windows machine is ironically a Mac. Only problem is...its Windows 11 :/

I think Windows 10 ARM images are floating around but it seems like Microsoft has discontinued them.

Wish there was a way to properly virtualize Windows 7 or just to even see earlier Windows OS run in this M1 environment.
Yes, it is the same people, and it is the same company which used to be called AdventNet until about a year ago, when the popularity of the Zoho brand made us change the name to Zoho Corp to avoid confusion. AdventNet itself was bootstrapped, started in a bedroom, never took any outside capital. ManageEngine and Web NMS are our other divisions.
I don't think that would qualify as explicit consent. According to GDPR consent would have to be: "freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her."

How could "anything you type into our forms may be captured" be construed as a clear affirmative action by the person entering data into the form that has a submit button for submitting the data?

Also, to make it unambiguous and informed, it would at least have to be a very-very obvious statement, which would make it useless for the sneaky purposes, wouldn't it?

Edit: I know it's not only GDPR that is being discussed, but I think would follow the same definition.
"Smart" also can have a lot of different meanings/outlets/vectors.

First 10 years of my career, I felt bearded Unix Sysadmins were the smartest people I knew :->, whereas I was fully Dilbertian in view of The Evil Pointy Haired Management.

I've been trying to develop "PeopleSmarts" or "Soft Skills" or "Emotional Intelligence" or whatever we call it last 5+ years, and it's... just as much harder and more challenging than technical skillset, as my mentors always told me and I never believed. It's a far fuzzier, squishier, less certain set of problems, and there just isn't O'Reilly-quality literature out there :P.

I have confidence that given time I can learn technical concepts or figure out technical issues.

I think path in front of me to be soft-skill-savvy, emotionally intelligent, is going to be long and hard.

So, how to properly setup LUNs on AIX or optimize a SQL statement or design an ERP architecture is one kind of smart; how to work with your own team to figure out productive way forward is another kind of smart; how to work with client and business and management stakeholders to satisfy their actual needs is another important kind of smart.
OS X does memory compression.

A few years ago I was trying to reproduce a memory issue in a C++ app by sending it a ton of the same thing over and over again.. on my OS X laptop I couldn't reproduce the problem at all, until I had it send random data.

If you open "Activity Monitor" and look at the memory tab, it will show you a value for "Compressed"

see https://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/13/compressed-memory... or similar for more info.
Specifically around the security guard example, the mere presence of a security guard should deter thieves (in theory), so I think the analysis is a little more nuanced than "security guards investigate weird noises".

Unless this all went over my head and that's all sort-of the point of what he's getting at . . ?
They're using neither. It's a cross-domain call so Github could block a regular AJAX GET by just not including ACAO headers. So they are using $.get with dataType 'script'. This is basically like JSONP without the callback - it adds a script tag with the remote URL to the page which means the client has no choice but to run the contents.
To add to the other responses, I believe the end goal of "programmable specialized instructions" is being successfully explorer by other options than FPGA, ie the Raspberry Pi Pico state machines, for one example. Then there are also the hybrid CPU-FPGA models (or FPGA SoC) mentioned in the other replies, like the Zynq.
Wow that playground looks awesome, is it open source? It really makes sense to have these graphs and trees, makes it way easier to understand.

Nice work there!
it was really scraped, not "hacked"

It was really a spraying attack, which counts as "hacking".
I read this as "just do it" (sue me nike). Learn by doing something, what you are able to do will increment organically so start somewhere you can start doing.
To summarize,

The article asks the question, Why there really aren’t 2 million podcasts? and goes on to say, 1/4th of all podcasts are out of business, or more likely, were never really in it.

The rest of it is filled with incoherent bullet points? it has been difficult to follow. Honestly, this feels like someone was taking notes on a napkin about an article that they'd wish to write and what's with the author's picture and name in an image? There are better ways to stop scalpers to get an email address.

I don't want to be too harsh here but the data sources, graphs and charts are of poor quality.
Please don't post unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN, and especially not ideological clichés. If you have a substantive point to make, that's great, but just dropping tropes guarantees a lower-quality thread.

I love my Real book, for me its a lifetime worth of music.

Though I consider its versions as vanilla, it would be cool to see a real bebop version.
Nice! How would you differentiate from existing assistants?

If a paper describing the new theory of special relativity would be round-filed today, it tells me that Einstein got lucky. In 1905 he was in the right place at the right time, getting reviewed by Planck, perhaps the only reviewer who wouldn't have summarily rejected the papers. If not for Planck the anomalous perihelion shift of Mercury might well still be a mystery, for Einstein's answer to that came a decade later. Presumably he'd have been ignored if his 1905 papers hadn't already opened the doors to academia.
> Meanwhile, ebay is losing ground in ecommerce. But don't worry, Donahoe (and Icahn) got paid.

Ebay is an abstraction about which no one actually cares fundamentally, they only care about it as a means to an end. If investors are getting paid (and a general stock buyback means more than those two got paid), they are getting what they care about out of eBay.

Investors care about performance only as a means to get paid, not because they care about the abstraction that they are investing in independent of what it brings them.
This isn't directly related to the article, but I cannot imagine wanting to plug into this kind of infrastructure.

All it does is commodify your work. Commodities have their price driven down, because they are, by definition, substitutable.

So, if you want to have your labor driven down to the global minimum for the work you do, sign up for an platform like this.

Its the opposite - Whats App is storing nothing which limits what they can do.
I don't think the 'The Ancients' really cared if they lasted 100 years or 10000 years. They used concrete, or stone, or wood, based on basically the same factors we do: ease of procurement, cost, suitability, and so on.

Anyway, just because some stone tablets are still around, doesn't make it a good storage medium. Most of them are destroyed or lost. Even the ones that are still around, don't give you the perfect fidelity you get with digital storage. And of course, once it's gone - smashed into bits or lost at the bottom of the sea - it's gone. Meanwhile I can copy data stored on a digital medium as many times as I like, with virtually no loss in fidelity or transcription errors, and store those copies anywhere.

Someone else mentioned that archeology of the future will likely consist of a Google search or something like it. I suspect they're right.
Not at all.

First of, these modern messaging/social/mobile-first messaging apps we see getting popular have a fundamentally different model than what most of us desktop-first are used to.

They are not centred around an account, but around a device.

If you delete your Line app, all messages are gone. Hell, even if you log into Line from a new device, messages on the old one will be deleted. A friend of mine recently lost her phone and she saw no other way than to create a new account. Another friend had Docomo help her in-store to transfer all her Line messages when she upgraded her phone.

I don't use WhatsApp, but reading other post here, it seems that they use a similar model (but not as extreme). Your phone is your account, and all your stuff is stored only locally on your phone (or at least only accessible locally).

This explains why the web-app works so poorly.

Yes, WhatsApp got big by being on all devices, but they provide the software and the software model is a "one device per user"-model. This works great in a mobile-first (or should I say mobile-only) fashion.

This is SMS on steroids, not messenger for your phone.
Horrible, but scarily brilliant.
There is no mention of Antonin Svoboda. He developed linear computer which would target moving airplanes in pre-nazi Czechoslovakia

His book from 1948 is probably first book about applied programming:

Yeah, then the Internet could route around the damage, as designed.
For a counter-point, I'm slightly proud of how our (English) language is able to flexibly accommodate a vast array of other-language grammars, while still maintaining understanding and clarity.

The two points that the previous poster highlighted: while perhaps the native-fluent speaker will notice that the phrases have a non-standard form, both sentences are completely intelligible.

Living abroad from the United States has only served to stretch my conception of "proper English" even further.
Are you saying these are remotely exploitable, as in over-the-air?

Yes. See my previous post:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8769816

And having separate baseband and userspace processors doesn't protect you, because the baseband processor is usually the master, and the app processor is a slave. In fact, the paper in my previous post exploits an iPhone 4 and HTC dream -- both of which have separate baseband and app processors.

Here's a quote from the first link in my previous post:

The insecurity of baseband software is not by error; it's by design. The standards that govern how these baseband processors and radios work were designed in the '80s, ending up with a complicated codebase written in the '90s - complete with a '90s attitude towards security. For instance, there is barely any exploit mitigation, so exploits are free to run amok. What makes it even worse, is that every baseband processor inherently trusts whatever data it receives from a base station (e.g. in a cell tower). Nothing is checked, everything is automatically trusted.
Ceylon is very nice, and probably is more consistent; first-class union types are a really good idea. Its Java interop story isn't quite as good as Scala's (without existential types, you can't express many Java generic methods - and try calling a Java generic method with a Ceylon tuple), and I don't think I could live without higher-kinded types and some equivalent to for/yield (do notation). But it does feel pretty elegant so far; we'll see if it can keep it up through years of language evolution.
Regarding the sound card, from the description it looks like the "crappy" sound card also employs a high-pass filter.

Is there a reason for it? What kind of circuit design in the DAC could cause low frequencies/significant distortion to require a high-pass at these frequency ranges?

Genuine curiosity here.

You can change stuff in the Swedish forms as well. Since everything i prefilled you just need to add in a number and recalculate. But most deductions would be done for you based on automatic reporting to.
There's a distinction between "healthcare crisis laws" (such as the initial lockdown for a few weeks in the UK), and making it illegal to visit friends and family indefinitely.

I'm just repeating myself now though.
To be fair, this same exact sentiment holds true for every publication in existence, since entering the digital era.

No secondary or tertiary sources are deemed acceptable anymore. Everything seems to be entirely based on primary sources now, while simultaneously, trust in primary sources is being eroded by deepfake tech in audio and video.

So in the end, we will need to find a way to create consensus of what happened in reality, to a degree that sufficiently satisfies all people that want information on a topic.

A blockchain for accountability in journalism should be established, whereby they are paid for their work by providing and verifying accurate information.

Said blockchain could also be used to manage the entire lifecycle of what is deemed fact.
Over time, a rating system will establish the best in their profession while also working out the bad actors.

The tricky thing to me would be figuring out who should manage the rating system, as that would be akin to being a guardian of all historic fact. And as we know, rating systems are a suppression mechanism in the hands of the majority groupthink opinion.

I'm not an expert on any of this, and I can already find flaws in this implementation, but I think we should really figure out a way to deal with the situation we have created for ourselves, since, you know, we probably gotta live with this crap for several more years.
Friendly reminder to anybody reading this with a Google account: it's not a perfect solution, but head over to Google Takeout and grab a dump of your account data while you're thinking of it. I did one last year, and at the same time reconfigured my phone camera roll to back up somewhere outside the Google ecosystem, so now all I'm missing is an up to date email mirror.
Very proud of the great success of India here. Was very worried they would have a calamity but they have managed it better than anyone else in my opinion
This is video of the San Francisco School Board renaming committee making a decision to rename Sanchez Elementary School. They researched the wrong Sanchez.

In the Google Sheet of renaming recommendations, they put a Wikipedia link to José Bernardo Sánchez, a Spanish missionary who in 1806 accompanied a military expedition against the Californian indigenous peoples.

Sanchez Elementary School was named for Sanchez Street in San Francisco, which in turn was named after Francisco Sanchez. Francisco Sanchez was Mexican, born in San Jose when California was still part of Mexico. He died in 1846 and is buried at Mission Dolores near the school in San Francisco.

SFUSD reports the student body at Sanchez Elementary is 81% Hispanic with many students whose primary language is Spanish. Sanchez is one of the few schools in SF with a name tied to Mexican heritage.

This wasn't an issue of morality, or even of rule-breaking; rather one of community standards (for mefi). Not too much integrity was on display here by Adams. They simply asked him to either operate as himself, or cease the pretense of being someone else.

I think the most illuminating comment of of the thread was the rephrasing made here: http://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/gqzgx/dilbert_creato...

He wasn't using anonymity for the sake of interacting or learning, while negating the effect of his 'fame' on discourse. He seemingly joined to leap into the fray in his defense, quite aggressively. I guess the admins at mefi weren't quite wanting this sort of thing: http://www.reddit.com/user/plannedchaos to happen.
I don't think this is true. Auctions definitely didn't put any nails in Amazon's coffin.
I don't think that's the same at all. The hallmark of a compiler isn't its command line arguments, it's the output. I think you would have more than a little difficulty arguing that all C compilers produce the same output.
And CloudMagic is available for both Chrome and Firefox. This is important to me because I'm a strict FF fanatic.
Except the wiki page about monkey patching talks about it in the context of dynamic languages :-) It doesn't talk about C, C++ or other compiled languages.

Definitely nice work!
Where "better" doesn't mean "more efficient, more powerful, more understood, or more effective", but "more standard-y".
IANAL and I would say no. Anyone is free to imitate any else. A machine doesn't make that different. It would be a violation to claim you were someone else while doing the imitation.
Breadth of current standards is more of an issue, I would argue. As the number of browser standards has increased, the number of browser engines (and platforms capable of running those browser engines) has decreased, and the computing power needed for web browsing has increased.
I joined Facebook 7 years ago as an IC3, and am still around so you could probably do the math.

Had the same vibe to me when I was a new grad (well, maybe a less polished one) and got a lot of respect then. I also knew which people I enjoyed working with and trusting without ever knowing their level. I could make an educated guess of course. But those cases when your guess is wrong are the important ones.

This is all not to say there's not plenty of issues with this system, and I totally get where your snark is coming from, but I would personally still stand by this idea over many of the alternatives.
Yes, simplicity is so important. I often adopt the stand of designing and writing software that I could forget. The intent is such that when I come back to the code I've written, it'd better be understood easily. That means keeping things simple, keeping things clear, keeping things consistent, and keeping things well documented. Simplicity helps a lot.
What makes you say that? I suppose you could add as much complexity as you want with differentiating units from different standards and adding uncertainty in the unit definitions and on and on. But for 99% percent of users, just conversion factors and basic arithmetic operations are all that is needed. What application do you have in mind where this would fall short? In 15 years as an engineer I have not run into one.
Really enjoyed this description of the creative process that I came across in Geoffrey West's book.
