From the very first line of the article:

>Over the course of the past few months I’ve been using Go to implement a proof of concept program in my spare time.

It's almost as if, like most people who post on Hacker News, you took a cursory look at the title, wrote some inane comment that supported your point, and squeezed out a reply.
They get it out of their system on Twitter
> Yes, it mentions gender/ethnicity/nationality in a way that is likely to incite some people to attack

That's the point. From a moderation perspective, comments are at least partly responsible for the subthreads they spawn:

The GP was well-intentioned but unfortunately that's only a necessary condition for not starting a flamewar. It isn't a sufficient one: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Btw, I don't think it's quite true to say that the touchy subject was part of the article. Even if it were, though, the burden is on commenters not to take an HN thread further into flamewar. This is in the site guidelines:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

> How much do you think the Debian non-profit makes per year? What about ArchLinux?

These are distributions. Their main role is to package upstream software. That is different from actually writing an entire OS.

You should compare to however much Microsoft pays all of the developers that work on the different components of Windows.

> How many full time developers are paid by the Linux Foundation?
>
> It's funny, their budget is much smaller than firefox

That's because the vast majority of Linux development is not done by employees of the Linux Foundation. Only a few top-level maintainers, including Linus Torvalds and Greg K-H, are employed by the Linux Foundation.

Most Linux code these days is written by people employed by companies like Intel, Huawei, Google, Red Hat, NXP, Facebook, etc. See https://lwn.net/Articles/839772/ for example.

You would do good by reading a bit before saying things online.
> what entity would provide liquidity in order to help those affected by a disaster?

For most of history, countries couldn't make money appear out of thin air (outside of mining more silver or later gold, which has practical limits). In good times countries made a tax surplus that they could spend in bad times. Or they borrow money from financiers and pay it back later.
I don’t like Bitcoin at all but I like coinbase.

Coinbase gives people what they want, quickly and conveniently, with a price ppl are okay with. A great business

Bitcoin is not a thing ppl should want (IMO)

It’s like going in a 7-11 and buying cigarettes or scratchoffs. I still like 7-11

I remember when this happened people were raving about how great it was that ICANN was no longer under U.S control.

It's likely to only get worse, until an alternative DNS-like system arises.
It's a category error to those well-versed in cryptography, like "explain the difference between mergesort and recursion" - two unrelated concepts. (Whereas "explain the difference between quicksort and mergesort" is an interesting question.)

Your answer also does not sufficiently differentiate between e.g. key agreement (DH), message authentication ("signing"; HMAC), symmetric encryption (AES), or asymmetric encryption and signing (RSA).
There's really no solid way to auto-organize photos besides the organizing a photo suite like Picasa will do based on album names and such.

You've just got to sit down and go through a couple hundred pics and sort them, call it a day, do another couple hundred pics tomorrow, ad nauseum until you're done. Then make sure to stay on top of organizing new photos as they come in.

The hidden benefit is you wind up looking at all your photos! That's what you have them for- to look at! And without motivation, the odds are slim you'll look at them all. (If you're a professional photographer and the photos are not of your life/family/friends but that of your clients, obviously just organize by client/job/)

P.S. there is ONE real sorting method- extract the metadata and divide into folders based on date. It's not very good, but it's the only one I know of you can automate.
The "pretty girl" is just the example we're using from the post. I've changed this to make it clearer for you.

Thanks.
None of those are "killer apps" in the classical definition of the phrase. Those are apps that are awesome to you, but not killer apps. People use killer app now to mean any good app, kind of how every model today is a super model if you know their name. Halo was a killer app for xbox 360. People bought xboxes to play halo, hence a killer app. People arent going to buy an android phone to use a music player with a neat cube interface.
I've been running dotCMS for 1.5 years now, and it's worked great. The templates are almost pure html, so designers will have free reign.
Plenty of non-technical people set up Wordpress as a CMS.

Squarespace is an extremely popular hosted CMS that aims at nontechnical people.

Drupal seems to be one of the most popular CMS qua CMS's.
The link I posted on this thread is actually the lite version of the game, where the super pixels are limited etc. In the main game, we have levels, more super pixels (virtual goods) which we plan to monetize. But monetization is really not our goal right now. We are looking to first establish our user base and get them to like the game.
And indeed who voted and who spoke and how they spoke was far more consequential to our country than hot air from 5 random commentators. I was watching PBS NewsHour and saw people like Representative Cawthorn give very calculated speeches that were very disturbing if you read between the lines.
This sort of "data," that optimizing contention free locks could have big rewards, isn't something that you need to control the OS or compiler/profiler/debugger toolchain to understand and learn. And for that matter, Intel has excellent compilers and profilers too.

All it takes is looking at what's going on in commonly used code, deciding to optimize for X, Y, and Z, and commit to it. If Intel isn't doing this already, that's all the fault of current management for not making it a priority.

The only way that Apple's vertical integration helped them make that management decision is that they were able to say "our customer is a typical laptop user." Intel tries to cater to much larger markets, so perhaps when management goes to plan a laptop chip, they are less aggressive with deciding to optimize. But I have a feeling that Apple's optimizations are generally good for nearly all code, not just for specific use cases.
So again it took them years to realise that WhatsApp === Facebook? Just like we told them that Instagram === Facebook

Then, they recommend another messenger that isn't Facebook, but STILL requires your phone number. Signal.

At least the name 'Signal' is good unlike 'Element', but get rid of phone numbers sign in.

Seriously, come on.
won't control it but it will be the Apple of cars, and that's better than controlling it if you ask me.
That's right. You have to have a society with enough moral fiber that it self-polices and restrains itself almost down to the individual level.
There's no need for China to officially ask Apple for backdoors when the Party can force citizens and tourists to install their app with full access granted[0], and can get Apple to store the keys in China[1] while working with local Chinese state-owned 'partners'[2] which do the Party's bidding without even needing to go through Apple.

I've been meaning to benchmark but NGINX in a container like this kinda wrecks performance in most cases.

The situations you stand up a container infrastructure these days you usually always already have a cloud load balancer like an ALB in AWS in front of it.
It does not require much technical innovation, but it does require quite a lot of investment, and also some administrational red tape must be handled (how to allow and how to encourage it in terms of certifications, construction permits etc).
I run a full UniFi network for some family members. 5 x APs, 7 x cameras and 2 x backhaul radios to connect buildings. They don't need to do anything as I can manage it all for them remotely. While this doesn't solve the "Mom" test it also allows them to not have to worry about anything. If something fails I just send them a new one that is already preconfigured. Couldn't be easier for them. I've been doing this for over 10 years now and have had one failure during that time. Things weren't as easy in the beginning but with the addition of UNMS and more features in UniFi I was able to remove the jump box (RPi) I had previously used to manage things that had been inaccessible without those new tools.
If you move with the flow without resistance, you don't feel the pressure.
Why can't we simply configure clients to use a phonebook we like, rather than the phonebook we don't like?

Today, it's relatively easy to create something like a piece of software and a db of alternative roots. And any clients which have that kit installed are suddenly simply ignoring pieces of what the traditional roots say.

Yes it would be fractured for a while. But it's no worse than say, dns over https, and the way say, you can't reach archive.is while your browser is using doh, but can when you turn doh off. (unless they finally fixed that, but that was the situation for a ridiculously long time after both cloudflare and archive.is were made aware.)

We already have such things today, so might as well employ it as well as suffer it.
A warrant to do what?
Codecs teach you if the high fidelity of the data you store may not be as important as you'd think it is, and sometimes you'd be able to process all of that with a fraction of the compute power and cost involved.
are you seriously telling people that they should run their application as root?

you do know that ports <1000 (http: 80, https: 443) require root, right?
> The purpose of qualified immunity is to permit officials to carry out their discretionary duties without fear of personal liability or harassing litigation.

This is a general problem with the US court system. People with more resources can use it to destroy people with fewer resources, because litigation is expensive and time consuming even if you ultimately prevail.

This isn't a problem for the rich because they can survive the loss, and then the incentive to frivolously harass them isn't there when it costs you as much as it does them. It isn't a problem for government officials because of qualified immunity. It's a problem for everybody else.

Maybe we should take the exception away from government officials, to increase their incentive to solve it for everybody else.
The people concerned with AI doom stopped talking to journalists because journalists typically didn't report very well on the issue.

>...something I’m very concerned about is the use of AI for autonomous weapons. This is another area where we fight against media stereotypes. So when the media talk about autonomous weapons, they invariably have a picture of a Terminator. Always. And I tell journalists, I’m not going to talk to you if you put a picture of a Terminator in the article. And they always say, well, I don’t have any control over that, that’s a different part of the newspaper, but it always happens anyway.

To expand on just how absurdly narrow courts interpret "clearly established", there's this example from the wikipedia page on qualified immunity[1] for eg.

> Critics have cited examples such as a November 2019 ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which found that an earlier court case ruling it unconstitutional for police to sic dogs on suspects who have surrendered by lying on the ground did not apply under the "clearly established" rule to a case in which Tennessee police allowed their police dog to bite a surrendered suspect because the suspect had surrendered not by lying down but by sitting on the ground and raising his hands.

The net effect of this appears to basically be that it's impossible to prove literally anything pierces qualified immunity unless it was ruled on prior to the establishment of qualified immunity as a defense. How exactly can you create precedent when you require nearly identical precedent to set it? It's a blatant catch-22. Like, literally something that could have been in the book Catch 22.

Many people had to try it to really understand what the hype is all about, so it's pretty clearly difficult to explain.

If you give the combination of Tailwind + Alpine.js + your favorite server-side templating engine a try, it may just click. At least for me, that was the key.

I have to disagree: I think this one works out just fine. And there actually is an arrow to go forward as well.

For me, pagination makes reading long documents a lot easier than scrolling. For example, I love the pagination feature in Instapaper.

Also, this is the prettiest thing I have seen coming from Google. By far.
And some people don't enjoy the CHUNKY BACON(!!!) vibe either, but it didn't stop _why from being awesome.

The first thing you'll learn in radiation safety is that the nature of the dose matters a lot. Sometimes you're A-OK if you can survive the initial dose. Other doses are accumulative. It depends on the energy of the radiation, the tissue's scattering cross-section, the time, and the flux, among other things.

This means that the Sievert (a unit of biological impact due to radiation) is only meaningful in the context of the dose geometry. It's great for talking about a chest X-ray, where the dose is spread out over a big volume of tissue. Where it's unclear is in the case of rapidly-thermalizing or compton-scattered particles: like backscatter. Look at the graph in that article. Something like half of the energy is deposited in the first couple centimeters of tissue.

We haven't done this before, and don't have a good model for the long-term effects. My guess? This kind of exposure is a hell of a lot worse for melanomas than a chest X-ray delivering the same energy. Claiming compliance to a metric like the ANSI limits is meaningless.

Edit: Oh, and the concern raised over the beam stopping and delivering a couple Sv to a quarter-sized patch of skin is definitely scary. We did exactly that to several people with medical cyclotrons.

Edit: I should also mention that tissues have varying tolerance to radiation. Rapidly-dividing cells tend to be hit the hardest, which is why your stomach lining, skin, and hair slough off after acute ionizing rad exposure. Your skin, stomach, lungs, breast and thyroid are also the most frequent to undergo cancer in radiation-linked longitudinal studies. See, for example,

What's the over-under on PPACA's contribution to the deficit? Anybody still think it will be negative?
"The Little Schemer" and "The Seasoned Schemer", maybe? They're well-regarded around here and written as a lighthearted back-and-forth dialogue. I haven't gotten around to reading them yet, but quickly skimming through them on a hunch it looks like normal variables don't show up until midway through the second book (and even then are used minimally). The books use lots of small examples to teach functional programming from the ground up, and so use literal data values instead of variables to keep things concise and focused.
If the demo video is any indication, someone is going to fall off the top of a building playing this.
Do you know of any good sources to read up on this? I'd always thought that the rise of plea dealing was linked to minimum sentencing guidelines.
Also, an "interface" is more of an enforced duck type annotation than an interface or ABC in Java or C++ terms respectively.
People would have said the same thing about Linux compared to proprietary Unix or even early Windows in 1993-1994. Also Linux has millions of lines of legacy that people are having to maintain and work around while Fuchsia and their team gets to start from scratch with all the knowledge learned.

As to your ad hominem in the end there, perhaps you should learn to engage with a level of respect presented to you by your peers, as it is that kind of discourse does little but put on display how your harsh words are little more than a projection. A better type of conservation is expected here.
Strange, because the phone interviewer told me that I was ineligible because of the drug usage and ended the call.

So you'll have to go through the improbably strenuous exercise, mustering all your strength, and .. not configure and/or push the button. Then go to the Amazon website and order a button you can configure to deliver whatever product Amazon stocks for the shockingly ruinous price of zero.
Clickbait title aside, this piece of "writing" exists solely as a host for in-line product ads. The written content is essentially garbage and seems as if it was written by an illiterate teenager with a list of 'deep' quotations.
LEDs tend to give off a good range over the visible light spectrum. Incandescents tend to bias towards the higher end of the spectrum (towards red).

Agreed that some research can also help find a good light. There are plenty of "full spectrum" light solutions out there which may work for the original poster.

Yes, but not the utopia devs in big cities want. They're in for a rude awakening when they realize people with way more talent will do the job for less, not only in the US but worldwide. And I don't mean typical outsourcing bodyshops, but truly talented people in say, the midwest US or eastern Europe.
From the article:

> An answer to the now age-old ARM-ed Mac question now emerges: With the emphasis on the iPad Pro as a real computer, there’s no reason for Apple to move the Mac off of trusty if perhaps less glamorous Intel processors. Does this mean that iPad Pro sales will cannibalize the Mac? We’ve long known the answer that one. It doesn’t really matter to the company as long as customers enjoy their Apple devices.

I don’t think Gassée is arguing that the iPad definitively will replace the Mac, or that this is Apple's intention. I think he’s arguing that Apple is positioning the iPad in a way that it could, and that this positioning lets the Mac off the hook for an architecture transition.

It sounds like you're thinking of the "strong anthropic principle" where the constants have to be set so as to produce life at some point in the future. It leaves the question as to how that worked unless you cite devine intervention. I find the multiverse idea easier to believe.
Badly aligned expectations are perhaps worse than badly aligned interests because they spoil what could be an otherwise good relationship.

Shares that signify that the owners want a person to help run the company are different than shares as a form of payment. There's nothing wrong with either so long as everyone understands which it is. If it's compensation, then it's mostly a distraction from evaluating the job offer. The ringside seat to a rocket-ship ride comes with or without shares.
I know, right? Better yet, why the hell would anyone take anything with that much incriminating info out in public like that?

I wince when I read of security goofs like those mentioned in the article or Poulson's book Kingpin. These are bright guys who should assume they'll eventually get raided or otherwise targeted by the law and have safeguards in place.

Makes for good reading, though. I'm ordering popcorn for this one.

I think you're a being a bit disingenuous here. Within 24 hours, Apple did respond.... but in the negative.

A quote from the article:

> The next day we finally received a response which indicated that Apple had no intention of helping us with this situation. They asked that we communicate with the developer and keep them apprised of our progress

I'm not certain of the contents of the email from Apple, but it readily appears that there isn't any transparent procedure. Essentially, they're saying you should sue the company, get an injunction, and turn it over to Apple because Apple isn't going to help you without legally being forced into it.
