It really it isn't so much about race as it is privilege (race only in that statistically a lot of white kids in the burbs are well off). If you don't have to work for anything it is hard to become good at anything while at the same time since you aren't failing at something you end up thinking you're such a super duper special person. Basically even the nice people get screwed up by being a special snowflake all their developing life.

The only part that is probably really about race is that the well off white kids are probably less likely to get told they are unhelpful idiots on these trips.
Is there a "ctags / etags" utility for nim yet?
Buzzfeed's sponsored ads are pretty good for the Buzzfeed audience. I agree on the point yes, content links can be posted over and over as people get enojyment from them, posting products will soon lead to unfollowing, is why I'd like to find a good niche and something people want and build a community.
> This program makes me nervous because its primary use case is to obstruct justice

Given the number of raids that happen based on false CI information, typoed street addresses, or government overreach... it's not clear that the program is meant to be used primarily for that.

The police aren't our friends. They don't protect us individually or collectively. Often we need to be protected from them. Any tool that can help with that is a good thing.
I'm sure Amazon is constantly adjusting their prices in order to maximize their sales and revenue; they even have some price automation tools as part of their inventory management system for people who sell their stuff through Amazon.

However I'm not sure these adjustments are meant to make people perceive that Amazon has the lowest prices. Instead it seems like they're meant to ensure that Amazon actually has the lowest prices on the most popular and high volume items. On those items they are pricing for high volume, while on the lower volume items they need a higher price to get an equivalent margin. That's what this looks like to me: maximizing margins across products with different sales volumes.
If you want my take on what went wrong with Tcl and Tk:

Company A, without a doubt. Culture matters a whole lot. And the experience of seeing how one of the behemoths does it from the inside, good and bad, is valuable. (Don't have any info about your job history; this last point could be less important if you've already had that experience.)
Physicians use this book:

It has huge spreadsheets of antibiotics based on organism, resistance, etc. But there are a LOT of nuances to choosing the right medication.
I'm afraid the typewriter defeated all computers--including the C64.
I use emacs every day. You'll soon find emacs is a terrible xterm/gnome-term/iterm/whatever-term.

* The emacs terminal is very slow. Run a command that produces a few hundred lines of output and you need to wait 30 seconds for it to catch up. A dedicated terminal program displays the output several orders of magnitude faster.

* Emacs crashes or freezes from time to time forcing you to kill all your emacs terminals anyway. It isn't nearly as stable as tmux.

That said you can connect to a tmux session with an emacs terminal. That fixes the stability issue - even if emacs crashes your tmux session lives on. It doesn't handle resizing well, and it is still slow as molasses.

I do use emacs server. That plus emacsclient allows you to open files instantly, and your term mode and gui mode emacs can share buffers.

If you live in a San Francisco apartment, “big enough space” is going to cost a lot more than TechShop membership.

The SF TechShop did have a waterjet, capable of cutting through basically anything.
Wouldn't it be easy to just rewrite the software if you leave the PLC?

That said, as long as it works...
How do you measure "prose quality"?

I read books for the story (well, aren't books stories?) if it is written poorly - I don't enjoy it. And for me Gene Wolfe is written poorly the world is interesting but the story there was not entertaining at all for me and I read just the first book.

(BTW. I'm probably the only one but I just couldn't bear the constant mentions that some females face was shaped like heart).

Hyperion has interesting story and keeps you on your toes (just the first book).
It's the other way around, AWS/etc are more expensive. Linode is just a VPS provider, and it's been great for me for the past 6 years. There are cheaper alternatives, though.
okay, thanks :)
There is no need for magical thinking, but you do need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Many countries view it as a much simpler problem of optimizing their society as a whole:

1. There are N doctors & medical supplies.

2. There are M people that have an illness.

3. How can we as a society make sure that these M people don't die?

Then, you (as a society) make up a set of rules and incentives and economic structures so that longterm you are able provide treatment to M people and define what "adequate" means based on your resources. If someone wants more than "adequate" treatment, you add some way to pay for things. Ideally in wealthy countries these are never actual medical necessities.

Once you're there, you just solved 80% of the problem and nobody dies just because they weren't rich.

Of course life is messy, so you need to have some resources to spare for edge cases and exceptions to the rules out of compassion, where there are e.g. experimental treatments, etc. It is true that there will be limits as to what you can provide, as treatments will cost money and disability-adjusted life years gained will go towards zero the older you are.

But that is also the case when you have a "pay money, get service" system, even if you are extremely rich you will not be able to extend your life forever.

The rationing happens either way, and in most countries you would need to be extremely rich to be able to come out on top. Actually you would need to already be born rich in order to be able to pay for anything that comes up in your childhood. That is extremely cruel, but unfortunately a reality in some places in the world.
This seems like a huge gaping loophole in capitalism. I think companies should be disallowed to buy competing companies (even via proxy) and companies beyond certain threshold should by law be divided into smaller companies.
There's a service built on top of Lynx called Logware.io which is a data storage API service. A small amount of Lynx is burned to create each storage transaction. Over time this will both deflate the overall supply plus create natural buy pressure as the Logware company will eventually need to buy more Lynx for their own service to continue operating.

The more clients they get the more data will be stored thus the more Lynx will be burned.

You poor sods that the circumstances even exist to make this a problem...
> A person's physical attractiveness should play no role in hiring

Are you also against in-person or video interviews?
Agreed on it being PM/Communications problems. Definitely easier in the office though.

Another thing is that it's often harder to write your question/problem in text as a message, when in verbal communication it's a lot easier (personally, YMMV). But having to organise calls to get that verbal communication is a pain.
I think the fact that most viewers aren't sure where the vandalism begins and the original ends about encapsulates my opinion of this contemporary art.
I can assure you that we have the best minds in the regulatory and legal worlds thinking about this and there just isn't a lot of regulatory clarity. If you had told me that 4 years after I started MobileCoin we still wouldn't have guidelines on how to issue a cryptocurrency in the US I would've told you that you were insane, yet here we are. This isn't to point fingers at the regulators, I really think they have a humongous task before them; regulating cryptocurrency is the institutional challenge of a lifetime.

We want to make sure we operate out of an abundance of caution. Correctness is more important than speed.
> it's not good to cherry-pick paragraphs from the whole artile

Isn't that exactly what you just did?

There's nothing wrong with showing only small quotes, the problem would be cherry picking them in a way that leads people to draw incorrect conclusions about the whole.
Considering the legal costs BitMex and Hayes currently face I would say the comparatively low cost of regulatory compliance would have been money well spent.
They were talking about illiteracy. The "low literacy" stat is dominated by people at level 1, which is not illiterate.
The expectation is societal by their participation in the political process; because the voice of the population carries far less weight than that of a large corporation, there will be strong internal pressure for the company to take a political stance on an issue.

The corporations opened this Pandora’s box; if they want the workplace to be apolitical again they need to work with Congress to muzzle themselves and stay out of politics altogether.

(Also those “arbitrary metrics” now largely include diversity metrics because they do actually increase profitability in the long run.)
For me going remote was a huge improvement for my sanity. The loud office and the daily commute were wearing me down. But I understand other people prefer the office. Let's hope companies will adapt and support different personality traits.

Problem is that most managers are extroverts and don't really understand the needs of introverts.
Having friends who had the same experience, that's been my attitude as well, but since I have a knack for sounding like I know exactly what I'm talking about even when I don't, let me candidly say that this attitude cost me a low but significant amount of money when my last employer got acquired. I didn't exercise my options.

I don't regret it, because the money I'd've spent to exercise helped get me through year #1 at Matasano, but if it hadn't, I might be upset.
"Each toplevel window is mapped to a canvas element"
Does this means it's not crawl-able, or is it?
I wonder why they only offer $10k. It seems cheap, particularly, as you say, they probably spent WAY more than that trying to do this in-house.

$10k is honestly hardly worth my time. I guess they're hoping for that one bright high school kid... good luck!
It might be true that Windows will block the 300dpi screen era for another ten years or so, but so will Linux and OS X.

FreeType on Linux handles scaling fine. And considering that the iPhone 4 has a high DPI display I think Apple has it figured out, too.
I just implemented something to the effect of:

"if the preceding substring was dot space, and the user types another space, just ignore it".

Hope that works for you.
"A house can be built for as cheaply as $70k" Not in california. I looked into building a house, and was given an estimate of $300-500K just for permits!
How is this private alpha targeting developers any different than already having the code pulled from GitHub and running using `rails server`?
VC and founders, holding preferred shares, take money off the table first. If things get tight, later VC's may take 2+x preferences. Deals can be structured that return cash to the VC, wipe out the rest of the equity, and leave existing employees grants or bonuses for retention; this latter deal element is an incentive extended by the acquiring company, not an entitlement owed shareholders.
I just used delicious last night for the first time in years and through weird linkage discovered angry video game nerd which I find to be one of the best web shows ever.
I enjoyed reading Steven Pinker's Sense of Style. With its analytical approach to writing style, it helped me significantly improve mine. For example, he argues a reader should not be made to use a large stack when parsing your sentences.

Another great book that came out in 2014, and I couldn't recommend enough, is Sam Harris's Waking Up. As a neuroscientist and renowned atheist, he explores the possibility of adopting a certain spiritual attitude (i.e. mindfulness) without believing in a religion or having to have faith.
Or the 14,000 lb towing capacity (about on par with a Ford F-250, though more expensive).
Well, I posted my previous comment before seeing this. This is good news for Chromebook users, at least.

German speaking kids learn inverted system. And it's a struggle to quickly realize and do mental math once they start speaking other languages like English where double-digits are non inverted.

You can also use structs and preprocessor macros. Have a look at the PostgreSQL source sometime.
Don't worry it'll be OK, we still have HP ePrint.

Finding a better place to talk about politics is not HN's problem; politics is specifically called out as off-topic in the site guidelines.

I don't think you'd keep someone with Matt Maroon's portfolio of complaints just by eliminating politics; after all, people do also write pointless comments about Apple. But that doesn't mean the politics stories aren't a correctible deficiency in the site.
Many people in the community have tried exactly this already, but it was hard to achieve without first-party support, which prompted us to build this.
>Arguably not even Amazon.

They can't even be bothered to follow up on vendors dumping foreign country SKUs in the US and stomping on licensed frequencies. I got a nice letter from AT&T a couple months ago for a European SKU DECT phone from an Amazon listing that was confirmed to be the US SKU that I had purchased a few times prior. The order was even fulfilled by Amazon and they couldn't be bothered to check that the SKU on the box didn't match the product listing.
To call out the woefully common hyperbolic rhetoric of calling having to compare the default natural state of being, having to work to survive as slavery. Take any given natural environment no matter how idylic and stick bands of naked humans in it.

Plus the whole "demand something with zero regard as to the hows of the process and what it would take to maintain it".
Not so sure that making it legal alone will stop trafficking (not saying it shouldn't be legal though). People are trafficked to do legal work all the time, like in nail salons, laundromats, construction, canvasing, etc.
Can someone explain to me and maybe to great industrialist Shahbaz Sharif how Pak is supposed to compete with those two countries with a 20% lower literacy rate in comparison?
Isn't the line in "Rule Britannia" that Britons never shall be slaves meant quite literally?

Muslim slavers went as far north as Iceland. IDK why this isn't being taught, it is a part of history like any other.

(Central Europe OTOH had its own share of trauma with Ottoman slave raids. The northernmost Habsburg fortress that was built to contain them was in Těšín/Cieszyn. Look the city up on the map!)
Authoring tools.
A working environment where you set your own rules is an ideal breeding ground for bad habits to fester and take hold, you just have to develop new strategies to counter this.

I have found that maintaining a daily routine is an effective way of dealing with procrastination. I still get those moments of thinking I should be wasting my time rather than doing something productive but knowing that it is only an hour until lunch, or 2 hours 'till nap time helps me push thorugh the tedium.

I have also found that anything that requires creative thinking is best done early in the morning and simple mechanical stuff late in the afternoon.

My easiest rule to adhere to, and my one concession to my procrastinating alter ego, is that from 12 noon until 2pm I can do what the hell I like.
Uncanny valley is a context problem. Weird-looking teeth aren't just a trivial detail, they ruin the credibility of the whole.

Great artists don't just notice and represent (and abstract) details, they frame them in a context which is greater than the sum of its parts.

The Van Eyck isn't really photorealistic. It wasn't possible to paint true photorealism back then because you need modern pigments and media to do that. But it isn't even what Van Eyck was trying to do.

The painting is really about a story, and the details are there to make the story feel more vivid. There's certainly an element of exploring representation and technique for its own sake. But the point of the painting is the story it tells - the experience it creates - not whether the dog's fur and the mirror are perfectly rendered.

It's very difficult to get engineers to think in terms of viewer/user experience. Engineer brains are focussed on solving technical problems and creating tools, not on creating delightful or captivating experiences for non-engineers.

Business people can be slightly better at experiences, but there's always the shady temptation to create manipulative and exploitative experiences.

The arts are the only place where the audience experience is the main point of the exercise. Technical skill is only ever a means to an end, and if the end doesn't work on its own terms the technical skill is irrelevant.
This sounds interesting, but I think I don't fully understand the use-case here. I mean I get it, you "cpu in" to another system, and the session you have there will transparently mount all your /home, /etc, /usr, /bin and so on from your system to the remote host.

What are some actually useful commands to use with that? I mean if all you're doing is remote-execution of bash, you could just start bash locally since your filesystem looks the same anyway? If you run vi through that tool, it can edit the files that you have on your host (because all directories are "passed through"), so why not just run vi on your host?

Edit: two usecases that I could think of where this is useful, but both don't really work I guess:
- If you have a very small flash-constrained system (think router, embedded, IoT) ... but these are usually different architectures (i.e. not x86_64) so this wouldn't work
- The example from the article, if you have a different Ubuntu version running in a container than on your host. But this would create a "hybrid" Ubuntu after CPU'ing in, since many directories simply come from your host, and only some stuff is from your container. I don't think this would be very useful?
I'm surprised 3MF doesn't have it.

The history of 3D formats is littered with weird stuff that doesn't really describe everything and needs separate texture files and metadata.

Meanwhile other things like text documents have embedded thumbnails and all kinds of stuff.

I'd expect 3D to have multi-material plus texture support(So the same file works in VR and 3DP) by now.
Yes, probably not my coworkers line, but he's the one hammering it into my way of working. :)

(and me translating it from our language back to English probably jumbled it a bit up)
> We're seeing a trend towards laptops becoming harder to repair but also intrinsically more reliable.

The trends are separate and not related. I have a 10+ year old laptop with replaceable parts and it still runs great without any issues. With the European Union introducing the Right to Repair bill, I expect to see a reverse of this trend soon, and more repairable electronics in the future. If Apple and the others stop their selfish and unethical lobbying against the Right to Repair movement in the US, then the American consumers will also enjoy the same benefits and not be taken for a ride.

> The idea that Apple did all of this extraordinarily expensive R&D just so that they could sell a few more RAM or SSD upgrades is bordering on a conspiracy theory.

Perhaps it does for the ignorant. But it is already recognized that firms like Apple that indulge in this already know that the profit from such unrepairable devices offset the additional expense on the R&D required to create it. Even the wikipedia page on planned obsolescence specifically points this out:

Producers that pursue this strategy believe that the additional sales revenue it creates more than offsets the additional costs of research and development, and offsets the opportunity costs of repurposing an existing product line.

And, as mentioned already, everyone already knows how Apple is actively lobbying in the US against the Right to Repair bill thus clearly proving that what you call a "conspiracy theory" is indeed a deliberate and entrenched business practice in Apple.
Not to criticize a free OSS project. It is very cool, but comparing it to Bloomberg terminal is a misnomer. Bloomberg gives you data, analysis, models, news, document access + Bchat which is highly useful to professionals. OTOH, Gamestonk Terminal is just a couple of python scripts. You have to sign up for the data feeds API access yourself. Free tier data access has limits by minute and by day. Even though GamestonkTerminal can be useful for small individual investors it will not float your boat for anything more serious.
Sounds like you have a wonderful ecosystem, only that it is very small.

My recommendation is to make your next side project a package manager, or coopt an existing one. It is amazing that the project is as vibrant as it is without the network effects of a package sharing ecosystem.

I would really recommend using git itself as the basis for a package repository.
> But.. bills? As in receiving letters to find out how much I'm supposed to pay and then somehow manually paying them?

No obviously not literally 'paying a bill'. I mean managing your personal life. Investments, preparing data for your accountant, budgeting, that kind of thing. Do you not have any hobbies that involve managing things or focused reading and writing? Any volunteering that involves managing an organisation and people? The need to take non-work calls to organise things? What room do you do these things in? Do you not have a desk and chair somewhere?
