Journalism seems to be just looking out for such things these days. If you are on lkml you'll find these mails floating around and it's kind of fun to read them, but making up stories and putting them in mass media and headlining Linus every time seems to be just click bait for the uninitiated and it's sad these people are just looking for ad revenue instead of actually contributing anything productive.
It would be very possible and also related to RE code from the OSX stack though.
You mean like meet has?
Much of DDG's privacy stems from not having any user data to store in the first place. While that can be circumvented to some extent, it's hard to do so without outwardly visible consequences.
The word "Soft Skill" is so undefinable, it is often used to attack people you simply don't like.
It wasn't anything special. We used Java because it's what we knew, with a mix of spring and some home grown framework stuff that we've developed over the last 10 years.

MySQL over Postgres because that's what we had experience with at the time. Redis as both a cache and ephemeral store.
I suggest meditation everyday for some time. During meditation, over a period of time, you will pull all of your thoughts which are currently on different worldly material things back into your mind, remove undesired ones and re-release them towards desired goals. It is like sending car into garage for washing. It is automatic process, which happens during meditation/chanting mantra like "om".

Please note I am not suggesting isolation or moving to forest for meditation ...etc. You can stay where you are but consciously allocate some time for meditation, in a room where you may not be disturbed by others for some time. Please note it is not reflection on past activities of yours or others. During meditation, just forget outside world,time,circumstances and focus on mantra. It helps in bringing mental peace, strength and this will bring change in behaviour, feelings towards others. It takes some time and practice.

Also, please understand, though we are in same place at the same time, our origins,destinations,paths all are different in this journey called life. Once you realized that, you will start some mental search on your destination and its place in this world and focus on your material goals i.e. focus on others will be reduced i.e. qualities like jealousy will be reduced over period of time. Also, during interactions with others, ensure your focus will be on positive things. Our mind is like horse and as rider, we need to preemptively focus on what we want. It won't change on its own to where/how we want to go.

Hope it helps and if you wish, let us know after some time (may be one year) on your progress. There may be many books on meditation also. They may further help.

EDIT: Minor grammar corrections.
Reports from experts in the region indicate that, as crazy as it sounds, (2) is correct.

ISIS has built up an excellent reputation for stamping out corruption and running efficient social services and police forces within poor communities. Their horrifying acts of murder and collective punishment are often unrelated to the simple business of day-to-day-life.

Think about living in a poor town with ongoing struggles with organized crime and local tribal warlords. Assume you're already Muslim like everyone else you know. A new military comes in, swiftly takes power, and cleans out the criminals, ousts the corrupt autocracy, efficiently runs services and healthcare, vaccinates your kids... suddenly life gets better for everyone you know and care about.

Sure, if you look under the carpet you find all the dead bodies, but if you plug your ears and look at the modest improvement in your crappy life? ISIS looks pretty good.
With "we" you presumably mean the U.S. Don't you have a roadworthiness test, something like the MOT test of UK?

Without digging up statistics, I'd say technical failures of vehicles are not a very common primary reason for fatal accidents in West Europe. Bad tyres surely are sometimes a contributing factor.
It's not a real ad. "Hanscom Networks" doesn't seem to be real, although there is a military base by that name in Massachusetts. Example.com is protected by RFC from ever being used.
People in the West will be up in arms about that, but it's happened in the UK as well:

Yeah, I didn't think it was a real ad either. :) But the point stands, if a real company were to attempt something similar.
Great advice. It took me years to learn it on my own. One thing I would like to add is there are times you have to clam up completely and refuse to give out even a range. At one of the companies I worked for, they had a weird policy of not hiring people if their new salary would exceed their old salary by more than 20%. Now, I can understand some of the reasoning behind it, but I personally find it detestable. The best policy in such a case is to either pass (which in this case would have been a shame, because the job was good in all other respects) or clam up and have them decide whether to hire you based on your merits alone.
What other options did Google have in this scenario? Being a software and data-focused company, they clearly were not positioned well to build and ship handsets.

Google's best option is to ensure to ensure that their services (search, Docs, Maps, etc.) are the best available options. They were able to unseat Yahoo earlier in the decade due to quality of results, they just need to continue innovating and convince users to do the same again.
So many ways people come up with to boost productivity! yet they all forget the point. If you want to be more productive, you have to produce more. Granted tiredness, and other distractions can reduce focus, but lets be honest if properly motivated these shouldn't be huge issues. I'd like to think that getting work done is similar to being a boulder on the edge of a cliff. while its staying on top work is getting done (work with me here) but if its tumbling down... thats distraction, and that means no work is getting done. I can only speak for myself, but what I've noticed is that when these distractions interrupt my productivity, its because I was barely on the edge anyways. If you really want to boost your productivity, you have to find what motivates you about doing your work.

Recently I found myself in a low productivity spiral, I tried everything, changing my sleep schedule, disconnecting from the internet, EVERYTHING. I found even with distractions gone, my productivity didn't boost. So I quit my job. The work i'm doing now interests me again. Productivity is at all time highs almost to the point I was at when I first started my career, and did the 16 hour work day (i'm doing 8 hour days now though... i now know about "burnout")
Hi, this is a side project started about a year ago that we’re finally launching. We combine automatically generated statistics with manual curation on the most popular data science and data engineering projects. We are independent consultants and the idea came from helping clients choose the best open source to build their applications. Rather than a lot of manual digging, you can find the relevant projects in one place, get a quick comparison, and have a starting point to probe deeper. We hope you find it useful. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Do you feel the same way about people that wear cleats for soccer? Or should they just tough it out in dress shoes? Like i get you read it as some sort class signaling, but i think that says more about you than the person wearing it.

Seriously cycling kit can be super cheap and makes a huge difference in comfort.
Great write up. As a fellow bootstrapper, I applaud you on making it to $1M ARR so quickly. I'm not quite there yet, but working towards that goal. I'm kind of curious how Luis found you, and how you attracted him to Missive. Did you bring on a growth hire in the early stage with a company % stake, or was it later once you passed that profitability mark and could afford the hire? I've been looking to attract a similar hire myself but haven't had any success yet.
What difference does this make? In your threat model the only serious countermeasure between you and state-level adversaries is a Logstash implementation?
While I agree that, in practice, programming is most popular with people who like puzzles, I think this is actually the result of bad tools. We will all run into actual real-world puzzles from time to time ("how can we fit this large operation into this small time envelope"), but generally the problems I have to solve are not puzzles at all. It's clear what I need to do and most of the puzzling is how to get my tools to do it. With more mature tools, I only feel like I am solving puzzles when I am trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat.
Maybe. I do tend to take lists like the one above as heuristic rather than absolute. One that I've noticed that's semi-related to puzzles is games. Board games, card games, tabletop games and video games all tend to get more interest in programmer circles. So maybe the puzzle rule of thumb is satisfied for someone who hates crossword puzzles but loves Eurogames.
I vaguely recall that Loom is an implementation of a research paper that purported to implement this for C/C++, but I don't know if that implementation is available/production-ready. In the worst case it should be relatively straightforward to back-port Loom to C++, since Rust also uses the C memory model.
I miss the voting. I don't even bother reading comments anymore.
I understand that Google is big on defensive patents, but this one seems over the top. Here is the abstract of the patent application Google has filed -- it has lots of big words, but doesn't seem to describe anything that is in any way non-obvious. Ditto for the claims...

"Hubs for social interaction via electronic devices are described.

In one aspect, a data processing device includes a display screen displaying a social interaction hub, the social interaction hub including a collection of records. Each record includes a counterparty identifier identifying a counterparty of a past social interaction event, a mode indicium identifying a mode by which the past social interaction event with the counterparty occurred, and a collection of mode indicia each identifying a mode by which a future, outgoing social interaction event with the counterparty can occur.

The counterparty identifier, the mode indicium, and the collection of mode indicia are associated with one another in the records of the social interaction hub."

> Drug opponents aren't just some religious nuts though.

You're making a comment in the context of the article. All of the parent comments to mine made much broader statements in response to the root comment that was a more general statement. "If you break the law, then you have no right to complain when you go to jail." This is what I was responding to. It touches more than just drug law.
I have this one tacked up on my wall. Not only is it inspirational, but I am impressed by the syllabic structure of the poem (alternating 11/10 syllables, iambic). Having never really studied poetry before, I found this really cool.

If, by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

I heard of Rhino a few years ago, but never got too into it. Node caught my attention recently because of the copious amounts of plugins that have come around. Kind of like JQuery; the community is so good that it makes sense that it's getting much more visibility than rhino. imo.

This is quite good. I love the 3 item limit. Forces you to pick what's important, and get it done.

I currently use TeuxDeux list, but only to track my "One important task" for the day. I rarely need to see anything other than today's tasks, though, so I might switch to this.
No, what I meant was - what side of the argument are you on, 'desktop apps are harder' or 'web apps are harder' ? ('harder' can be 'more difficult' or 'more tedious' - I'm not making any moral judgements here, my point was that web apps can be made faster and with less knowledge of details that nobody should really know in the first place).
you arrest them and make them buy their freedom

In the context of singularity sci-fi literature, the important question here is "How do you convince them to let you do that?", because a sufficiently advanced intelligence doesn't need your permission to do anything. It's like ants versus Toyota: you lack the mental capacity to see the breadth of the system which you're enmeshed in -- your moving around little grains of dirt doesn't even register at the smallest scales of operation of a multinational company. If you're thinking "the government could regulate the fleshy-AI-corporation-thingee to bits", you're playing the game so many levels below the AI that you very might well be one of his pieces and just not know it.

Some people would argue that is the status quo in the political system regarding regulation of megacorps. I'm close to agnostic on that.
You don't know whether or not you'll like the book.

Under EU Distance Selling Directive, you can return the book for a full refund within 7 days for any reason, even if you changed your mind.

USA Amazon sites seem to honour this and allow you to get a refund within 7 days.
I'm not emulating anything or investing time in emulating his idea. I just thought it would be a good idea for someone that wanted a simply project that would be useful to somebody.It seemed like it would be a good fit in terms of the full spectrum of utility and self interest. I apologize for the name misspell and I cleared it up for the readers, and to make you happy.
Are the primary and backup DBs in the same data center? If so, how would you restore from an "unplanned event" there? I ask because I faced that situation once years ago, and very quickly learned that uploading 10's of GB of data from an offsite backup will keep your site offline for hours.

In the end I ended up _driving_ a copy of the DB over to a data center. Adding a slaved-replica in another location is pretty easy these days.
Although those are impressive numbers, the comparison does not really make much sense.

XP is 9 years old. Ubuntu(10) a couple of weeks afaik. And for a real benchmark there should be information about what kind of initialization XP does (virus app, startup processes, ...).
It doesn't matter how much it costs. I still don't want to lose my backups due to financial circumstances. I would say a fire destroying multiple safe places to store a backup (i.e., leaving a flash drive or DVD at my partner's home) is a lot less likely than financial mishap.
In case you are interested in iOS, you can check out the Open Toolchain project: http://code.google.com/p/iphonedevonlinux/wiki/Installation

It's not seamless, and you might need to learn Objective-C (don't worry, it's not Java), and you can't submit to the App Store, but it is possible.
Can we really compete on that point? Corporations have quite a lot of money compared to most generous private citizens... even those private citizens combined.
I believe if you use the native C/C++ development kit you still have to write the interface in java.
> the perspective of someone who seriously does not care what others speak

I'm sorry but I can't help to think that you're only able to speak from this perspective if you were never threatened. Of course I care if someone says all Jews should be killed, because I know the next day someone might actually try to kill me and my children. It's a simple as that. My inner organs shake when I see something like that online because I know some people do actually take it seriously. I'm happy for you that you don't have to worry about this, but history shows that certain words are not only distasteful, they are dangerous.
It actually worthed all the single scrolls I did. Curious about what HN community will think about.
> "I almost always use a reverse proxy for some or all of the following:

- Serving static files

- Not needing to care about binding your application to a privileged port (below 1024)

- SSL certificate handling

- Hosting several applications on the same IP"

All of this should be handled at a higher level with load balancers doing your SSL termination, and CDN for static files. There's no reason your application server should care about any of that stuff.
Perhaps that's also why there are two variants, so that it works whichever month you are currently in!
I would love to see the gymnastics required to keep boiling hot oil safely transported by Uber drivers.
FYI the comparison is to the A72, not A73.

A72 is a mobile chip, so still not particularly relevant to tuna-fish's claim about high end servers. The raspberry pi 4 is not a high end server.

> half the die area

Much of this is free when comparing a 16nm design to a 7nm design. See footnote 1 in your link.

EDIT: I was curious, so I looked up the transistor density of tsmc 16nm vs 7nm.

16nm: 28.8 MTr/mm^2

7nm: 96.5 MTr/mm^2

So I think that sifive core with "half the area" is actually not quite as good as a die shrink of the A72.
To buy an equivalent home within biking/walking distance of my job we would have had to pay literally double of what we did.

The difference equates to ten times the average yearly salary here. That's the difference.

You get a whole lot of miles (and cars) for that price...
Yes, it's done all the time. Suppose you have a model A that predicts some value for input x and you also have model B for the same problem, and they both work, but are not optimal for all cases, so they do the following:

C(x) = alfa * A(x) + (1-alfa) * B(x)

tada.

Imagine a concept called "Additive". Any type that defines a '+' operator is "Additive".

In most industrial languages, integers, floats and strings are Additive, because these things support the '+' operator.

Monads are at the same level of "concept" as Additive. Something is a monad if it has a set of operators that map to the Monad concept. The level of abstraction you need to be at, mentally, is "supports a specific set of operations with specific rules". A lot like an interface, but at the type level.

It is definitely a single concept, but there are variations on it, like Functor and Applicative, which are related. The core concept is adding a layer of indirection between a value and application of a function to the value. What the indirection does is the chief distinguishing feature of the monad. A Maybe monad only applies the function if the value is not None, for example. A List monad applies the function to each value in the list. The IO monad, on the other hand, logically stores the function and keeps it for later - the result of computing a pure functional Haskell program returning IO is an imperative program, which is then executed. That's how Haskell gets its side-effects in a pure fashion.
Thats one of the things about americanism, we have little reverence for tradition or authorities - we culturally value results more than process to achieve them. It has some downsides yes, but in times of crisis ie means that, we all just pick up and do our part - and frankly the best ideas usually float to the top.
It says "when you use or otherwise interact with our Products."

It's not unreasonable. I'm not sure what your claim is here, because you'll find this language in every single online business. You realize Zoom sells enterprise video conferencing right? They have no use for your data otherwise.
I don't think every country can or has agreed on that. A lot of people argue that we shouldn't let the healthcare system collapse, that it's worth paying any cost no matter how large to prevent, but healthcare systems have collapsed in pandemics before and it's never been the end of the world. And to justify some of the proposals I've seen floating around, where we'll all be imprisoned at home for 3 or 6 or 18 months, "end of the world" is pretty much what you'd need to believe.
Prettier is one of my favourite pieces of software! I only wish they had a binary that doesn’t rely on Node.js

In their heads. But meanwhile, the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish had more than their fair share as well. This whole re-writing of history is what enables 'MAGA' and other idiotic revisionist trends, please don't contribute to them. It only gives more credence to the kind of exceptionalism and nationalism on display.

Yup, now that I've "swallowed the red pill" so to speak, I can't even look at quats/dual-quats in the same way. They are very much a small cross-section of something much bigger (more expressive/powerful/etc).
I read that typically about 20% of passengers will catch a bug on a commercial flight. The main problem seems to be contaminated surfaces, not air recirculation. A flight steward told me that wearing gloves drastically cut down on infections among the staff.
This is a great example of advice that might be true but is completely useless to anyone who is actually struggling.

Psychology says no.
Trump can do all he wants, but empirical data shows that folks just ignore him without consequences so these apps won't be banned any longer than Tiktok was shut down or Chinese companies were delisted from the NYSE.

That doesn't mean he is wrong and China hasn't infiltrated America at every level, but it's a lost battle now that America will be rolling out the red carpet for the CCP.
One of the best books I read last year. Can highly recommend it
These bans also seem kind of weird after the TikTok ban. They were supposed to find a US buyer or leave the US market. They’ve done neither and are still live.
