> Please have the bridge delivered to my home between noon and six.

Why? Do you not already have a bridge to troll under?

> You do understand the people who actually do work at Apple are human beings, and that you are flinging insults at them, right?

Yes, and I know who they are.
In the same way we are tracked with Cookies across the web, I don't see the difference.

The only way to do that would be for a competitor to implement it and begin gaining traction because of it. Right now, the cost of the wrongfully terminated is less than the cost of wrongfully terminating them and probably always will be unless Google starts loosing people afraid of being wrongfully terminated. That number becomes much larger.

Want to incentivize Google? Convince Bing to implement it and see if Adsense customers convert as a result. If I felt Bing was treating their customers/vendors (ads is a really weird relationship :) better, I would consider using it (since as a search product it has approached Google pretty close).
why would you want to write viruses?
If I were an advertiser, why would I want to advertise on your site, if I know that visitors are supporting you by clicking but have no intention of converting? I care about the effectiveness of my ads. They are far less effective if visitors do this.

Ultimately the advertisers are paying for your AdSense income. It may not be your fault, but if you're providing less value to the advertiser, then it seems only fair that you don't participate, since your participation harms the whole market.

This is undeniably a problem with the current AdSense business model, but we all know this, choose to participate and accept the risk.
Why did Apple wait for iPad2 to include a basic feature called USB.
Is there any evidence that removing cars from cities has a negative economic impact? All the stats I've seen point to the exact opposite.

For example:

* https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/econom...

* https://cyclingsolutions.info/cost-benefit-of-cycling-infras...

* https://cyclingindustry.news/724m-in-economic-benefit-on-80m...

In my anecdotal experience from the UK, high streets have been destroyed because they have failed to keep up with what people want.

Decades back, we started copying the US and building lots of out of town shopping centres surrounded by acres of car parking. Town centres started to compete by making it easier to drive in urban areas - but in doing so, they made the environment much less pleasant (loud, dirty, unsafe etc.)

Over time, retail became homogenised to the degree that every high street and shopping centre had exactly the same set of shops. This worked until internet shopping arrived. Why go outside to shop when it doesn't offer anything that you can't get on the internet - cheaper, and with a larger selection?

Now the only thriving high streets are those that offer something more than the internet can. Unique independent shops; space for people to meet friends and relax; street cafes; art/culture and so on. Removing cars in favour of walking and cycling is one of simplest and most powerful tools available to achieve this.

Congrats to him!
We've banned this account for repeatedly posting flamewar comments and egregiously breaking the site guidelines. Not cool.

I guess this goes back to if you are DIY person or not.

For me i treat that just like I do any service in my home. I am the type that will tear about my Dryer to fix it vs buying new or bring in a repair person.

I repair my own car, appliances, etc. For me the Home server is the same.
I wouldn't say helm has won, honestly. The kubectl tool integerated Kustomize into it and it's sadly way too underutilized. I think it's just that the first wave of k8s tutorials that everyone has learned from were all written when helm was popular. But now with some years of real use people are less keen on helm. There are tons of other good options for config management and templating--I expect to see it keep changing and improving.
Aside: article points a finger at sanctions but doesn't mention another fascinating problem-- Iran is one of the few countries left that isn't party to a copyright treaty. As Iranian author, would have to do first publication in a treaty country-- but the legal definition of "publication" is outdated in several countries and might not include, e.g., streaming. Good on these 30M guys for doing the work.
Proper AR glasses would be completely see-through and not very intrusive.
That's pretty neat, I wasn't aware that was possible.
Yes and no. It is two very different experimental situations, the magnetic moment is at rest (well, in an accelerator but the rest frame is defined by the muon) and the R_k anomaly is in an collision. On the other hand, as a theorists the immediate thing one thinks about is lepton universality, that the only difference between a electron and a muon is its mass, is violated. So there will be a lot of work this year on trying to explain both results at the same time.
Please stop taking HN threads further into flamewar. We ban accounts that do that.

Both function calls are in tail position. This is what actually matters (along with the ABI return type matching for runtimes where that matters).
How e.g.datepicker implementation will look like with this approach?
Interesting suggestion, but I that would scare the crap out of him :)
you are referencing a sibling comment, not the parent.
I grew up near two villages listed in the article (Pipestone and Scarth, Manitoba).

Definitely low population but growing up there I never felt I was missing out. Spent lots of time outside adventuring around. I still sometimes miss how dark and quiet notes out there were.
> People aren't upset about losing money.

I’m sure this is true for a minority of participants in the stock market, and I’m sure this is true for a minority of retail investors.

I don’t believe for a second that this is true for a majority of retail money in the market. Most people care very much about losing money.

Just because there’s a bunch of noisy people making news about YOLOing their savings away, doesn’t mean they’re the majority. They’re just noisy and newsworthy.
> Half-measures seem wasteful.

I would be very very cautious about this line of reasoning. It can work for certain situations, but there are enough tradeoffs and exceptions that I am hesitant to recommend this as a general rule of thumb.

The ability to incrementalize risk (JS code snippets on the web just work, the compilation target is trivial to deduce, runtime characteristics do not change, no need to write wrapper code to consume npm packages, etc) instead of taking a lump sum hit to your novelty budget is valuable. Not always overwhelmingly so, but enough to give me pause.
Customer acquisition is actually a very big cost. If you're able to compute the lifetime value of having a customer you can easily make an economic argument if the acquisition makes "sense" or not based on that.

I am amazed at how well that particular calculation works some times although I understand the statistics.
FB seems to believe they are entitled to the ability to track people on iOS. Apple is under no obligation to allow that.
That makes sense. "MVP" use cases make perfect sense. But I suppose you could also make dynamic python that another app created just like HTML is the target response for many web apps. New possibilities. I will check this out more.
Well, having worked at a hardware company I think you over estimate how accurate hardware schedules are. And day one quality is more about how you define day one I think. (Some types of hardware) you can release A01 to "internal customers" but the broader public's experience is over a year and several spins later.

No disagreement on the long term planning aspect though.
They found an application! After 25 years!

Probably not cost-effective, but at least it's getting used.
I agree with everything you've said here, but I think we should understand why it happens and build a better solution to it rather than lamenting the fact that people will always try and avoid doing difficult things when those things should be easy.

We have a situation where these "correct" elements have different sets of default styles in different browsers and require different sets of styling rules to make them look how the designer wishes in each.

If your starting point is that is it any wonder that sites are generally so shitty? A good starting point would be true separation between the semantic and the visual.
> In another case, I saw an NPM package that detects if the number is odd or even. Writing n%2 == 0 is that hard thing?

Repository in question:

'use strict';

var isOdd = require('is-odd');

module.exports = function isEven(i) {
return !isOdd(i);
};
Yeah, no idea where your downvotes come from; I upvoted you to compensate. Because you're right. Adam Smith was very aware that a free market requires protecting that freedom, which means regulation. A market dominated by only one or two big players is not free; it needs to be accessible to everybody.
Then let us fill up the internet with their legal names and addresses.
Democracy seems to be working quite well.
I'll slightly disagree, and say that the optimum comment (in terms of receiving supportive comments and not being downvoted to oblivion) seems to be against the grain, but not pushing it too far.

I assume this is because those comments sometimes get people from both ends of the "debate" supporting them, or at least not voting them down.
The claim is only missing a qualification that the impossibility exists within the framework of ieee 754. It can be easily inferred from context and it is important to note because thats what the major CPU architectures use to store native floating point numbers. Therefore, the point is, we need a non-native (wrt the cpu) way to store and calculate with irrationals and some rationals if mathematical precision is required.
> facebook doesn't owe you anything for using their service

I do not use their service, and yet they stalk me around the web, with countless tracking pixels and like buttons, assembling my shadow profile. Yes, they are abusing privacy as much as real-world stalkers are.
> The largest quantum object so far—a vibrating silicon springboard —contained around 1 trillion atoms (10^12), significantly less than Avogadro’s number.

Does anyone have a reference for this? The closest I could find was http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature08967 via http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2010/mar/18/quantum... but this was for an AlN film between Al electrodes, not a Si one.
A solution is to just make everyone's tax reports public. The worst that happens is you get tasteless websites ranking who earns and owns most in your area. Really, that's it. Norway tried it and it got a little too tasteless for our politicians, so now it's a government website thing where anyone you view can see that you've viewed them.

You still get some cool stats, though:
http://www.dn.no/skattelister/#!/Norge/2013/

These are the tax statistics for 2013. The table at the bottom is the "top score". Position and name on the left with income, tax and wealth to the right, in that order.
Oh no doubt, me too - but do you really want dishonest & uninformed writing like this becoming the part of the foundation of peoples' understanding of quantum physics or computer science?

It's in the same class of unfounded speculation as creation theory, homeopathy, astrology, etc. It's crank science packaged up as real science.
Point of note: that model is now explicitly illegal in UK company law -- any directorship must be occupied by a human being: if you interpose shells in the way, they're collapsed until a human being is identified as the responsible party.

(Let me also add that I approve of this. My opinions have shifted in the past 10-15 years and I now think that permitting autonomous corporations to exist -- or even continuing the doctrine of corporate personhood -- are a terrible idea for humanity (because they're effectively AIs that compete with us, and not in a good way).)
You can also join an engineering union. They can usually tell you what salary is common for your CV. Some may also negotiate on your behalf. All offer legal counsel. Depends on where you live, of course.
I find Cinema4D’s UI and approach toward everything just brilliant. Tried using Blender 5 years ago and it was extremely unintuitive to use. UI consistency was all over the place. Has that changed since?
cells, not towers ...
worldwide, not in US
Also, there is a magnifying effect. Every one of those "9" drivers will notice the "1" driver. They'll talk amongst themselves about the terrible drivers they've seen, never knowing they are all talking about the same high-visibility driver. But if one of those "9" drivers is actually a "10", the others could drive alongside them all day long and never even notice, because the "10" driver never did anything to call attention to themselves.

Conclusion: "Most drivers [that I notice] suck."
On the other hand, I'd like to assume that other people are making the best decisions they can in their own lives. Picking fruit for $10 an hour could likely be better than their alternatives. I've worked for much less than that as a programmer. At the time I didn't see better options. People have different limitations. Some limitations might not even make sense to others, but those are the constraints that they work around.
Many people who rely on ASL are illiterate. Turns out a phonetic portrayal of language they don't know isn't the easiest to learn, assuming they have the support to do it. Sign language exists because it is the best tool for the job.

Offhand I'm not sure what functionality Firefox is missing that has caused them to only support Chrome. I'd be interested in taking a look though if you have their paid support and can persuade them to either file a bug[1] (or to give you sufficient technical information so that you can file a bug).

In that case, Apple's pending change would have no effect on you.

The dialog pops up and you give your consent for the FB app to track whatever it wants, because you're fine with that.

Other users similarly are allowed to make their own choice as to whether they accept that trade off.
I read that in the voice of Cecil B. DeMille narrating in The Ten Commandments. Well done.
I've been using OS X since 10.2, though I keep a Windows box around for games. I also feel that OS X has become less stable and performant in recent years, and every now and then I spin up a Linux distro on a spare hard disk just to try it out.

These experiments rarely last very long, and almost always end because the video/graphics support is just so terrible. I have yet to find a reliable way to play videos without horrible screen tearing.

But I don't know what alternative there is. Windows' experiments with Metro was a disaster. PC-BSD has some really nice features (I love ZFS and use it on my fileserver) but has the same issues with hardware support, especially graphics hardware support.

I fear for the future.
Their "Humble Tip" was set to a lower default on the Humble Bundle #2, their last multi-developer bundle.

Interestingly, one of their stats at their Independent Games Summit talk was that the average tip % went up from the default...
The barrier to ubiquitous encryption on the web is the requirement that everyone purchase an overprice certificate.

What we need is HTTPC, which would be SSL without verification. It would not show up as verified like HTTPS-- no green bar, etc. It would look just like HTTP, except with encryption.
Ow. Resonance can tear down bridges, and this. This just dropped a bridge on my amygdalae.

All I can say is, he's lucky to be a writer.
[Early adopters] stand to make a fortune if the currency were to take off and it seems that would leave us with an economy controlled by a small number of participants, defeating much of its potential benefits.

This is only true if early adopters keep holding onto their bitcoins as the value rises. In practice, only a very few will do this.

I started mining about a month ago, which will qualify me as an early adopter if this really takes off. And I can tell you right now that if the exchange rate were to spike to something like $10 within the next year or so, I would probably cash out all or nearly all of my holdings, on the hypothesis that a correction was coming soon. Anyone who buys now and continues to hold at $10, at $50, at $100, ... and finally cashes out at $1000, probably deserves their fortune for exhibiting that level of foresight, patience, and self-control.
Good timing. You can also use the results of the Lisp Game Jam that starts today.

This is amazing the UI is really nice and intuitive. I did a dubstep playlist http://instant.fm/p/5r . It's interesting to notice that everything is on youtube now.
"Are you going to work on your startup even if we don’t fund you?"

Do they really ask that? Do people really ever answer anything other than "Yes"?

I could see it if you had some idea that needed millions in funding to start moving, but then you wouldn't be at YC, I wouldn't think.
Note that the first comment there is an illumos developer offering to help -- and when Chris tweeted about this issue, he was offered similar help from the community.[1] It would be great to have a better characterization of this issue (which is not as simple as it not working, but rather is apparently a performance pathology that appears under load) -- it's entirely possible (if not likely) that this is (just) a driver bug, and not emblematic of larger issues. Certainly, taken alone it does not indicate that the OS is "struggling" (speaking for ourselves, we're 10G everywhere -- though not 10GBASE-T).

This means the author doesn't know what they're talking about, and is asking a dumb question.

The article's title is "Why aren't we using SSH for everything?", not "Why don't browsers support SSH?". Both make no sense. It's like asking why FTP clients don't support Voice-over-IP.
I know basic of PHP, I have experimented with Laravel too, but I think just the HTML and CSS is what I can do, I'm just not a programming person...
What causes the performance degradation at sooner and sooner levels of fullness?
It’s fine to hand-dig a well when the water table is 2-3m below grade, but when it’s 20-30 or more, you really need to have it bored. That said - if you’re ok hauling in water, you don’t need either.
How is it that such atrocities still happen? How do we need to change ourselves to make the world a better place?
At the bottom of the Python doc page for itertools are “more itertools” in which the functions “grouper” and “roundrobin” seem to do the trick. Overkill?

Usage:

```
queues = grouper(names, minimum_number)
serendipity_teams = roundrobin(queues)
```
> The only thing this patent covers is the physical circuit implementation

The claims in that patent are not limited to a physical circuit implementation.

The description includes a circuit diagram as one possible embodiment of the claimed invention, but the patent covers any implementation (and the description indicates it was intended to cover instructions running on general purpose processors).
And hopefully a short future!
Serious question:

Is there any use case for cryptocurrency and/or NFT’s that isn’t going to primarily result in illegal usage, scams, or grift?

I completely understand the desire for a non government controlled currency; my issue is that it seems this is a nightmare of theft, money laundering, etc. that completely erases any possible positives from it.

I also understand that this stuff also happens with fiat currency, but it seems to me the magnitude is on a completely different scale.
But Spring also saves you the time of putting those wrapped technologies together.
often companies are the sole providers of needed products and services.

or increased efficiency which is important too. I work on software that makes factory and warehouse operations more power efficient, and that feels meaningful to me!
The animation of the characters dancing in "The Jungle Book" (1967), was created based on video of the musicians, Louis Prima and his band, performing this number:

"I guess that's why the Go compiler is so fast - it barely checks for anything!"

Any serious Go programmer ought to have golangci-lint or equivalent running somewhere. I prefer pre-commit, but CI/CD will do too.

An advantage of golangci-lint is that is not in the core compiler, so you can get some really opinionated linters from the community, some of which you're going to love and some of which you're going to hate, or linters written really quickly and hammered out in the real world rather than waiting for the full release cycle.

A disadvantage of golangci-lint is that it's not in the core compiler, so you have to actually fetch it yourself, maintain it (configure it), etc.

With golangci-lint, Go is still not Rust, of course, but it gets it a pretty decent way towards being a serious, quality language. Most languages need some augmenting to be serious, quality languages, because it isn't generally appropriate to put all the requirements for code into the compiler, for many reasons. Rust is somewhat exceptional in how much they've put in their compiler. Things like C and C++ need immense, high-quality support from static analyzers to be even remotely safe to use on a network. (So, yes, I don't consider C or C++ "serious, quality" languages in the absence of that static support. I don't even consider it close, honestly. I don't consider very many languages to be serious, quality languages out of the box.)
As the saying goes, work to live vs live to work
>> if this is happening in the workplace, that's completely wrong for anyone to do

This is the most important part. The comments and examples of gender specific comments/comments males may not make in front of females or vice versa are accurate, anyone denying that there isn't some truth to this is simply wrong (right or wrong, humans have some natural tribal tendencies that lead to this). However, there's a huge difference between comments made on a "guys night" playing poker or a trip to Vegas (or a girls night out, playing poker, going to Vegas), etc. and it happening in the workplace. While the underlying motive of a comment like "we can't invite women to this meeting because it will kill the buzz of a bunch of guys shooting the shit" impacts a career, the career of someone who is clearly highly capable.
