The assumption underlying the whole article: property values rise because a neighborhood is "cool" and appealing, because artists live there. (And then artists must leave because they can't afford rent.) There is data showing that's true, but I don't think there's any general consensus yet. (So more people can understand what the article is talking about.) Rising property values, the cool factor, the vibe, beautiful people, whatever you want to call the thing that attracts people to an artsy area. I called it "quality of life" but yes an abstract concept, I was deliberately vague because that's hard to define. I think people do care, which is why they spend good money to move to these neighborhoods. Also the artists care because they want credit for what they helped create.
Fairly often. Since the selected DOM element is the value of this in any event handler callback, you can migrate out the function and use it for different things (i.e. validation of, say, autofill after a settimeout) and different contexts with call/apply.
CosmicOS is a nice idea for what to put in a message: http://cosmicos.github.io/

State bars don't want outside investors or non-lawyer executives directing the conduct of lawyers. (Also, why would you want to allow non-lawyer ownership of law firms? The reason you have corporate structures is to be able to raise capital. Law firms require very little capital.)
My reading was that as a consultant, he had to fly more often.
> "Contributors can post" ... is based on email FROM

Sounds somewhat mislabelled then.
Or maybe a blog à la alistapart.com but for hackers.
I was going to say the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy blew any chance he had of being "acquired" (read: hired) by Apple by that political maneuver. The "cc someones superior on a follow-up e-mail" move is smarmy no matter what, in this situation it was suicidal. What did he expect to happen?
What is also funny is that there was also the JavaStation which was once going to use special Java CPUs.
Keep track of what?
Neil deGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox (not NASA, of course) have been doing a great job, and things will only get better, with more discoveries, and better ways of communicating those discoveries.

I didn't say "single". I'm out of this convo.
This is insane. Best software find in a long time. An open-source alternative to Fusion is very welcome for me.

And, lovely work on the UI!
Because they're paying for a platform to deliver services and the platform then tries to dictate how they run their business. It's questionable at best and should perhaps be illegal.
What about Pure OOP? It has one way to represent things, everything is an Object. Details of the data-structures can be hidden behind the method-interface.
Regulation such as this undermines my faith in governments. Regulation should be written based on principles that our society is built upon. If a regulation is going against those principles then there has to be an extremely good reason. Australia has not demonstrated this.

I don't know how to feel about Australia. On the one hand, they're a well off developed country. On the other hand, Australia has this new Media Bargaining Code, general media censorship of video games and movies, and they have the Access and Assistance law.

This new law will likely cement Google and Facebook's influence. It ties the fate of news media to American tech giants.
No, it's not about "Gazan vs Palestinian". It's that Arabs sometimes refer to someone using his city. For example, if someone is from the city of Khalil (Jericho), he might be called as "khalili", people from Nablus as nabulsi. This is a trend in most Arab countries, in Jordan, people from city of Maan refer themselves as Maanis, from Irbid as irbidawi, etc...
I guess I’m not very familiar with these offerings. I was really asking “how do I acquire a real time feed to plug into this open source software”. But it sounds like it’s not valuable to have that in practice?
I know. Have you seen what the author has been up to lately?
No data sorry, just a belief from Japan documentaries stating that people work a lot more than the usual 8h a day and quite a strange culture to not leave the office until your boss does, which is usually really late (can't really say an estimate, I've seen 8pm but also 10pm sometimes).
Have you thought about trying a different keyboard? I use a Pinky4 and have ctrl (and alt and super) on a thumb key. It both moves these keys from your weakest finger to your strongest, and keeps your pinky free so you can maintain homerow even for something like C-a.

Alternatively, you may be able to hit some of the modifiers with the side of your hand instead of your pinky. That's what I did with my previous keyboard (Pok3r). It also made it easy to hit ctrl and super at the same time for some of my window manager keybinds that use both keys.
you delicate flower.
That depends on how you define Additive, whether it includes the concept of commutativity, associativity and so on.
> Make it suitable for someone coming from a language that doesn't have Monads.

Most languages either have or support particular examples of Monads, but what is missing from many is the ability to write code that works on all Monads.

Writing a Monad tutorial is pretty cliche now, because basically everyone who finally gets what the fuss was all about then blogs their own way of explaining it (guilty of this myself), so I'm not at all surprised that the author of this post didn't want to add yet another to pile.
"And in its perfect state"
There was a backstory. Janet Reno's DoJ forced Microsoft to sign a consent decree that forbade them from tieing products to Windows but allowed them to add functionality to Windows. Therefore, IE had to be a feature of Windows not a separate bundled product.

Otherwise, in the eventual anti-trust trial, Microsoft won the browser case 2-1 on appeal.
security "researcher" does something questionable in order to generate publicity, news at 11
Why go to all the work to embed an interpreter when it only has "minor" uses? I can't see any reason to embed something as large as Lua in a mobile app if you aren't going to make good use of it - I would think this would include only something like parsing/interpreting algebraic expressions, e.g. for a calculator. I guess since it's on a case by case basis though, it could mean anything, and they could decide it means something different than it originally did at a later date.
I'm a little sad that the entirety of SF is now considered "extremely expensive neighborhoods".

What's your response going to be when Oakland also becomes "extremely expensive neighborhoods" (if it isn't already)?
You could easily do this with Elasticsearch. I've created a search UI(http://www.github.com/romansanchez/calaca) for Elasticsearch, which is what I think you're trying to do. You may want to recreate it on your own for learning purposes.
Yes, they used to be more conspiracy theory- and fantastical-oriented years ago. In this case, they're still playing fast-and-loose with their interpretation of "journalism."

The FBI didn't "confirm" anything. A pilot said he saw something cylindrical fly over and reported it to ATC. That's about all there is to this event.

There supposedly were other similar reports of unidentified flying objects tracking airliners around the Pacific Northwest.

It makes one wonder if it's an anti-conspiracy theorist trolling secret society of civilian and military pilots having a good laugh. The odds of some "miracle" domestic or foreign tech, or ET explorer robots are vanishingly small.
> I mean, Firefox sends Do Not Track when in private browsing. So clearly it's trying to do more than just hide local history. It obviously can't guarantee it, but it's trying.

You got scammed by Mozilla if you think that.

Please have a deep look at the various documentation on how the Internet works and realize that sending that header does absolutely nothing for users. It is, as it has always been, up to the receiving server to decide whether to even consider that data point or not.

This means that Firefox is not "trying" to do anything there, and it's actually doing an incredibly hypocritical thing as a browser vendor, making non-technical users believe that Firefox sending that header is somehow proof that Mozilla cares.
If there wasn't a commensurate increase in price, then yes it is free. If you are receiving service X for a certain amount of cash each month, and then suddenly begin to receive service Y without paying more, service Y is free.

You guys sure love to argue over semantics. ..
No, but that's where the Five Eyes concept comes into play, previously known as ECHELON. The idea is that agencies such as CIA and NSA can work around the limitations imposed by their own charters by cooperating with foreign agencies who have no such prohibitions. Then, the doctrine of parallel construction takes care of any remaining legal hangups.
Lists in pinboard.in and... lots of text files on my desktop & post-its on my monitors :)
Fair enough, in group differences it's tough to be certain about causality. It's interesting that my teacher never gave this as feedback. Well, that just shows that when it comes to HN, people simply care more about science (as my teacher was a neuroscience researcher).

Personally, I do think the brain is plastic in this sense though. I haven't looked deep enough into it to be a 100% certain. Nevertheless, from all the research summaries I read, I gather that whenever a skill is practiced in a focused manner for 1 to 2 hours, neural plasticity occurs.

I wish there was a literature review around this idea. But I got the feeling that 4 years ago the literature was mostly on clinical patients. Normal people and neural plasticity seems to be researched less well.
There's no problem with using any of those features; they just come with some drawbacks and in many cases they're not the best tool. But in some cases they are, and then by all means go ahead and use them. They exist for a reason.
Thank you for writing a comment about environmental impact that is actually well thought out. I really appreciate it.
Also, IDE integration works a lot better. IntelliJ with Maven is a joy, with Gradle its a dog-slow shit-show.
You can do that in Fortran, too, since 1990ish. Out of curiosity, when did you last write Fortran code?
Exactly. It's not hard at all to get into EU, compared to US. Getting a visa is straightforward so long as there's a job for you.
Strongly disagree - COBOL apps are strongly tied to their obsolete hardware. On the other hand, containerized applications are "portable" - can run on everything that runs Linux.
can anybody who uses it compare it with mithril.js ?
The difference with a hobbyist and the entrepreneur is that the entrepreneur is motivated to follow the market, whereas the hobbyist is motivated by their inner passion for their hobby and hopes the market finds them.

If the hobbyist and the market should meet?

There is a very good but also complex set of reasons why creative professionals stereotypically are not very well off and have poor labor conditions.

Agree it's not impossible to create something out of nothing when you are not motivated by following the market, but also very unusual.
State government or a bank although at a bank, while you don't have a lot of work, your monitor is usually public facing.
Obviously right now is probably ill advised as various countries in Europe are dealing with the pandemic differently and vaccination might become a factor at some point down the road.

Find out which European country you want to live in, it's a wide ensemble of laws, culture and practices and simply "moving to Europe" will vary a lot depending on which country you move to.

Language is probably on top of the list, I know in some countries just speaking English will be ok and companies won't care, but you will want to do some research on that (i.e. I lived in Germany for a short time and I'm glad I knew enough German to get around).

As far as software development goes, there isn't a shortage of companies hiring, you might even be lucky enough to find a company that is willing to sponsor your.
Check your own countries rules re earning money in another country, they might want to tax you.

Overall I'd say you need to research:

- Which country do you want to go to

- What are their immigration requirements (not all of Europe has the same immigration rules, despite what anti EU idiots think)

- Daily language use

- How much does it cost to rent a place

- How much does it cost to live there (food prices vary a lot)

- Right now this is a terrible idea, but go to the country and stay in the city you think you want to live in and test it out, this isn't a substitution for actually living there, but is a start to find out if you hate it or not

In ref to buying a passport, yes this is an option, some countries still do it, usually quite expensive.
I don't agree.

You can't finish a project without developers and you can finish it without testers.

I've seen a tester changing requirements on the go, delaying features for things that aren't even the case. Those change requests then cause bugs, because... Dev.

The most important thing for a dev is domain knowledge and letting them care about the product.

Usually, when the original Dev leaves ( monolith), it's enough to call the project abandoned, but maintained. Leaving the devs wanting to spend a minimal amount of work with it.

And that's going to trigger sloppyness.
It doesn’t have to be fair.

They could charge x.org $15 and y.org $150,000.
That assumes that you'll have a healthy offering of wireless providers. If you're from Europe, then I understand that's the norm there, but in the US, it's the same story as your local ISPs. For home internet, you'll be beholden to whatever companies own the towers near your property.

Similar business model to Uber, differing somewhat in the details
Depending on the terms, I would probably subject myself to it so I could drum up interest in the art project I’m working on (as I would be working on it live). This kind of seems like a win-win (assuming the hotel actually comes out ahead somehow.. which doesn’t seem possible)
Writing fractal shaders is great fun, agreed. I found mip mapping introduced artefacts around discontinuities in the texture coordinates - this was doing orbit trap texturing, but the UVs in the described method would have similar discontinuities. The artefacts can be reduced with a bit of care, iirc
More than money what I think was terribly effective in recruiting moles in western countries was the appeal to -then- popular communist ideology.
Take a look at forestry.io - it's a CMS that can use various different static site generators, but edits in the CMS are committed directly to your git repo.

So all your content stays in git, and yet you can still collaborate with non-technical partners.

I built https://www.wildernessprime.com/ (https://github.com/dave/wildernessprime) with it.

Also check out https://dlvrit.com/ - this posts new articles to social networks automatically. I've configured it so that:

* There's a tick-box in the forestry config for posting to social networks.

* When this is ticked, Hugo includes the article in a special custom RSS feed.

* dlvr.it uses that custom RSS feed as its input.

So as far as my non-technical collaborator is concerned, when they're happy with the article, they tick the Socials box in the forestry admin and it magically posts to all the social networks. It's awesome.
That makes sense.

I suppose it matters where you're going, and to what extent you're traveling "rough".

I used to hesitate taking out my Nook or Sony on the subway (I'm in NYC), but this morning there were six other people reading from e-readers as well, so it's become less of an oddity or security risk.

If I have the Geek Atlas, the LP guide for general info, a Zagat's for the restaurants, etc. I'd prefer to have them all in digital form rather than lugging around three or more paper books.
This might be worth looking into:

Assurances that they aren't crooks, scans of forged documents, religious claims ("I am a good CHRISTIAN brother"), that sort of thing.

It was my plan to build a markov process which oscillated between various sets of states (curious but untrusting, trusting, suspicious) as new emails are received. Now that I think about it, it is definitely a project worth revisiting.

It depends on where the shares were borrowed from.

Either they were borrowed from the brokerage firms inventory or they were borrowed on margin from another clients account. If they're borrowed from the firms inventory, it's unlikely the short seller will be affected, because the firm will just have you borrow against different shares in their same pool of inventory. If they have no more left, they can borrow from another firm. In the very unlikely scenario that the firm decides to not hold ANY more shares of that company, then you may get called on the stock.

In the second scenario, if you're borrowing from another client, however, you may be at risk of getting a margin call -- in which case you would need to purchase the shares on the open market at their current price and return them to the lender.
A value investor would not have bought a broad market index in 1999, where the P/E-10 was, IIRC, somewhere around 40!

I have to say I'm not particularly interested in discussing this with someone who thinks the classic value investing paradigm is comparable to buying and holding an index at the worst possible time.
Could you elaborate this further? Just want to understand this better
This raises the obvious question, then who is going to pay for them?
I think it was someone on HN who said "I wish we focused more on moving slow and fixing things" and I still think of that remark whenever something breaks or isn't quite working as intended on my computer or phone.

So quite often, I guess.

I do think "move fast and break things" has a place, but that place is mostly limited to so-called transcendental problems: situations where the status quo don't work and we need to try something outside of the established solution space. It's kind of comparable to the over-use of brainstorming; quite often brainstorming is not going to help you find the solution to a problem.
I don't find it offensive (it is not), I find it untrue and unsupported.

Social inequality does not make a pandemic to hit harder, for example the lack of rich people (reduced inequality) would not decrease the rate of infection of the rest of the population. A city with all poor people (low inequality) would probably be hit even harder, so the living conditions are a factor at amplifying the effect of a pandemic, inequality is not. Inequality in theory slightly reduces the hit if you assume the rich will better take care of themselves.
I agree with wanted to blanket the country in tests, but you don't need 1000 tests to do contact tracing for one person, even normally, let alone during social distancing.

You don't need to test people every day for 14 days.
My current company seems to apply the following variation of the motto:

Move slow, break things anyway, disable tests to hide it.

Yeah, I've quit.
People have finite attention tokens to spend per day. Attention tokens are consumed when you make a conscious and deliberate decision to invest time in something, but they are also consumed when someone approaches you and talks to you.

Of course, people close to us usually are mindful of not consuming too many of our attention tokens. And some interruptions are useful to you, so they are welcome. Advertisements, on the other hand, consume the attention tokens of everyone who views them, and because they are optimizing for the revenue to the company, and not the benefit to the person, the expected benefit of each advertisement to the person is extremely low, if not downright negative.
Thanks for sharing first hand experience. So basically, "it depends".
I remember when SA and UAE wanted to build fabs in the middle east in their never ending effort to diversify away from oil. They soon realized they don’t have the workforce without importing skilled labor. SA has one of the [hardest-to-motivate workforces] in the world.
Well, its just that people who made the decision are not paying for all the business disruption, productivity and health damages (including deaths) they caused.

For some reason if you mop the floor without the "wet" sign, you could be liable, but if you let the whole powergrid collapse twice, you bear no fault

Moore law is only that the price of a given set of transistors will diminish over time.

Nowhere in the original definition it says that all of those transistors have to be in the same processor.
Having a background in biology with an interest in physics and extra-dimensionality, I found this article very intriguing. I immediately thought of the mathematicians who developed the theory of prions (the likely causative agent of Creutzfeldt_Jakob Disease otherwise know as Mad Cow Disease) being a protein only transmissible infection even before it was though to be biologically plausible.
Except the iPhone effectively has no DRM. Load the application into gdb, dump memory, and you've broken it. This is even worse than Android, even: the developers cannot add their own DRM on top, due to both technical and App Store restrictions.
XMPP does work well in the browser, you can connect using websocket nowadays, and we have some really good web clients (Converse.js or Movim for instance).
What’s more likely to happen is to have users fork off to a different PoW algorithm or even PoS, rendering the mining equipment of miners useless. If the economic majority of users run the new fork software, the network effects and value of Bitcoin gets preserved. This is how the segwit movement managed to pressure miners into activating the segwit soft fork.
Home row cursor movement is one of my favorite things about vim. Same with w, e, b, ^, $, and the c or d commands used with them. I think just knowing a small few navigation keys and a small few modification keys, your capabilities are multiplied.

That’s why I use the vim plugins for vscode and jetbrains IDEs. Best of both worlds.
