Remember Google Plus? They tried but were ultimately found wanting.

Apple was focused on hardware. Their services play is only recent and my best guess is if they ever considered social, they rightfully saw how toxic it is and decided it wasn't worth the effort/risk of tarnishing their brand. Not that I think they'd have a compelling product. Personally, Apple's web products are average at best. See their stock apps.
Yeah, HTML5 doesn't even cost money to develop!
> I find myself checking resources and other code examples often.

Being in the zone does not exclude research tasks. Being in the zone is simply a state of hyper focus.

It's very possible to be in the zone and constantly switching back and forth between the IDE and API reference, the point is that even though you are switching windows you aren't switching tasks. You've got this clear model or objective you're working towards and you're just referencing details plugging them in as you go along.

> to get unstuck?

The definition of the zone, what makes it so amazing, is that you aren't stuck--you're in constant motion towards the solution. The only way to get from stuck to the zone, is simply to stop being stuck. In other words, take the first step towards the solution do something, anything to address the problem set. That may mean, doing research, checking out code samples, etc. Just because you aren't typing characters into an IDE doesn't mean you haven't started coding. The research is helping you build a model, understand the scope and structure of the thing and eventually leads to describing it in the editor.
A great trick I've found w/r/t your first tip (going to unproductive websites when feeling initial frustration) is to stop using the "Keep me logged in" option on those sites. If I hit a problem and habitually go to Facebook or Gmail, having that buffer layer of needing to log in makes me stop and think "Wait, I should really focus on the problem I've avoided by coming here."
Metal chopsticks are an abomination, gives a awful metallic taste. Should be made of bamboo! And don't paint them please.

You see, chopsticks have much more variation than ssh, which is just a protocol. It reminds me of a highly ranked recent post about a so-called magic color highlighting theme. Then at the end of the comment one poor guy said: "I'm I the only one to happily stick to the default?". Come on, there are most serious things to discuss in the world, and on HN, than a slick ssh iPhone app, or a color theme. For instance, we could discuss the next ssh protocols, those that will allow to solve the "where is my file" problem (listed in pg's list of ideas, can't find it right now).
I would think that they would want something built into Time Machine. Maybe Dropbox could be a switch in the preferences but it's seems like something they would build themselves.
It's vary easy to accidentally lift a sentence or idea if you do enough research and write something of length. Dropping a full grade for a short essay is reasonable but if you handing in 60+ pages it's rather harsh IMO.
ick... 21 URL shortend DIY projects from other websites with no indication as to where the link will send you.

I understand shortening your URLs for Twitter and sort, but this is just silly.
Can't wait to see this a-hole hit with a 10 billion dollar copyright infringement suit. I am all for fair use, but what he is doing is not fair use, it seems like outright copying.

If you are going to make money from cheap exploitative lists, at least try to create your own.
Good to see that there are people in the loop constantly correcting false positives. As I said before, I like how HN changed recently. Thank you!

Reminds me of the famous(ish) meme that came from Yahoo Answers: https://youtu.be/Ll-lia-FEIY
Sad but lets not make the mistake of thinking this is limited to the United States. It's how most governments respond to what they feel, correctly or not, are security threats.
I'm of indian origin as well and was traveling in India a few years ago. At the time, in response to the Mumbai attacks, the government had instituted a requirement for non Indian nationals to require permission to re enter the country should they leave within 2 months. I found this out when I arrived, as I was scheduled to travel to another Asian country and return within a week. While traveling, I visited the Indian embassy and sat in the commissioners office while he was on the phone and, later, while he was purchasing bananas from a vendor visiting his office. He took my passport and told me to return the next day- which screwed up my trip- but I did it. After my visit was complete I went back to India. When leaving India for the US, they noticed I had left the country within 2 months. I pointed out I received permission from the local embassy. They then claimed upon return to India I should have registered with a local government agency. I explained I didn't know this, no one had told me. They removed me
from my flight. I checked into a hotel and the following business day went to the agency. When it was my turn, they asked for copies of where I was staying, who my local relatives were, copies of their passports, copies of their electric bills - fortunately I had a uncle who helped me and sweet talked them a bit. I got a permission booklet, that night tried to rebook my flight, but nothing was available on my airline all week. I had to return to work, so i spent $800 and bought a one way ticket on another airline.

Maybe not as humiliating as what this poor guy had to go through, but my point is, governments can act incredibly irrationally in response to security threats. I realize the need to keep its citizens secure - but when they claim they don't want the terrorists to win, one has to wonder if they haven't, in fact, actually won already by slowly decimating our democracy.
What other countries are better options?

I have a baby coming, so I've slowly been teaching my body to work during the day, and to sleep at night.

I haven't reached perfection, but I've made incremental progress. Here's what I have so far.

0. Don't work at night. For me, this is a practice in necessity, when my son is born I want to spend a lot of time with him. So i've been practicing on losing that time. The benefit is it's really made me focus on packing as much stuff into my "productive" hours as possible.

1. Stop drinking caffeine at night. Sleep is important.

2. Stop drinking alcohol on weekdays. Mornings are important.

3. Eat a balanced diet (i used to live off easy to obtain tasty food) Nothing is free, that means if you save time by eating fast food you'll pay somewhere else. usually your health. Being unhealthly leads to feeling lethargic. That's unproductive.

4. Before i get to work in the morning I have a realistic to do list of what I want to accomplish. On the drive home I re-evaluate how realistic it was. Since time is important, I want to maximize the return on investment for each minute. I make that decision in the morning, and I stick to it as much as is possible. Just like investing, you need to have a strategy, and you need to stick with it. Don't throw good money after bad though.

5. I keep a detailed log of what i'm doing as i'm doing it. This solves two problems, first it let's me pick up where I left off after distractions come, and two it provides a good way to remember things.

6. Nip things in the butt early. I used to say "this item is a low priority, i'll let it go, and do it later". But when it comes up later, even if it's not a big deal, it means someone is going to interrupt you. That makes it more expensive. The cost of that issue is now <time time to fix it> + <time to track that it exists> + <talking to someone about it> + <time lost on something more important when someone comes up to you to ask about a weird issue>
And this is probably why I religiously Gruber's blog but have never heard of applematters.com
We gave up on the fairness doctrine because it didn't work. It forced news media to give equal time to the 1% of crackpots who disagreed with the 99% of scientists on a number of topics, including climate science. It was always going to go this way, regardless of the fairness doctrine existing or not.
Those poor Lighthouse scores are what you get when you put no work into refining your site's performance. This is especially true for an out-of-the-box Wordpress implementation. I have a React project with 100s across the board, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend a React implementation if high performance is key.

This doesn't even touch upon the topic of good developer performance, which is just as important as a set of Lighthouse scores. It's far easier to jump into an app with established build tools and documentation than it is to wade through a block of static HTML. Though if you're the only one working in your zen garden, have at it.
When one person you meet in a day is an asshole - you met an asshole.

When every person you meet in a day is an asshole - you're the asshole.

Right now - you're the asshole. Every party involved, from the courts, to the (republican) GA government, to the media, to the pollworkers, to me, is telling you this was audited to hell and back, but you don't give a shit.

Instead you post a video that was actually discussed in the call you're so concerned about, where the Secretary of state clearly says the edited version you posted was designed to make it look fishy, and after review of the full footage by auditors and the media, there wasn't anything there.

You're not arguing in good faith. You're either ignorant or intentionally deceitful, and I want no more part of it.

There are times when I try my upmost be very careful with my language. And this is one of them: What was undertaken on Jan. 6th was an attempted coup. It was insurrection. It was sedition. I refuse to allow that fact to be downplayed or obfuscated.

If you raped two women, encouraged people to steal Chinese intel, and then worked with Russian intelligence to spread propaganda, yes, indeed you would be a bad dude.
Interesting. How do you make money on it?

When something is free it usually is paid for by selling my data, as the free-tier of a paid product, or the owners haven't figured out how to make money on it and are hoping to figure that out later.
You must cross public property ie roads to install a large scale wired network. That said, it’s a difference in scale creating a difference in kind.

Very, very old news.
Instead of Google Analytics look at Matomo. Since you are self-hosting Nextcloud, standing up a self-hosted Matomo instance won't be difficult. https://matomo.org
This used to exist and was called DMOZ. The search engines used to give more credit to dmoz sites at the time as well. There weren't enough moderators and gatekeeping was a big issue. I wonder if it could work today.

I think they did the experiment in the 50's with mice, but they didn't understood transplantation and rejection so well back then, so many mice had serious problems.Now we can prevent those.

Also i think you'd have a hard time to get money for any "anti aging" research up until recently.
As a set of hex wrenches, it's not useful. You'd probably scrape your wrist trying to get it into position for use while wearing it. If you take it off, you don't have enough leverage to do much. One flat bar with hex holes, like a bike emergency repair wrench, is more useful.

Also, the web site coding was botched. Notice how the hex holes aren't regular hexagons. Now do a "view image" on the image. Whatever generated the HTML mess for that site (it's clearly from a generator) botched the IMG size information. Demandware, "Online shopping with the leader in On-Demand eCommerce solutions", would be better off just using Wordpress.

By the way, is this thing metric or English?
actually that was a fork of PTVS :). we'll look at adding more advanced editing, intellisense, visualization, debugging (cross-lang, cross-OS, ...), etc.
> vulnerabilities that are publicly-known before a patch is available

We already have a term for that, though: "unpatched vulnerabilities". Using the term "zero-day" erroneously communicates to the reader that Google surprised Apple et al with this thing out of the blue, and just handed crackers the tools to start exploiting it without giving Apple time to develop countermeasures.
As in the general economy ... competition between similar open-source projects is good for developers. Spine provides an alternative way of accomplishing the same goals as Backbone, written in a different style. I'm sure there's lots that both projects can learn/steal/share with one another.

Open source isn't a zero-sum game, the more you share, the more you have to give away.

There are exceptions, of course. Try imagining Twitter, Facebook or any of the other popular (not-such-geeky) sites without javascript, or any client-side scripting for that matter.

(FYI, HN has an onclick='return vote(this)' on votes, so it does use javascript too - although, very little, and it's optional)
Why? I'm guessing, but maybe because of the recent scrutiny on spending, and the price of real estate there?
Edit: Ok, I can rephrase this "I don't want to write no glue"
That is indeed a nifty use case, but also kind of a special case in which a serialized AST is the required output of your program. For the general case where the DSL is just a sexy API, I wouldn't recommend building a parse tree.

EDIT: Actually, for your case I don't think I would use sexps. I would write some primitive validators in Ruby that can also generate equivalent JavaScript code, then use those to build higher order validators in Ruby alone. Compare that to maintaining complete validator engines in two different languages.
I guess it depends on what desktop stack you're using. It's certainly far easier to toss together a CRUD app with Rails than it is with MFC. "4GL" environments like Powerbuilder make this pretty easy on the desktop too but people don't seem to use them much anymore.

It's certainly a lot easier to build a multi-user app as a web app.
Backbone doesn't become any less great because a similar project has appeared. If we are to believe the claims of the creator, Spine is fundamentally different from Backbone, so I dont think a fork would have sufficed.
The conclusion seemed a little simplistic to me, what would have been interesting is seeing how facebook usage varies between NFC's and not-so-NFC types. As in ... do the NFC's try to get news updates and participate more in intellectual discussions on facebook or do they also make banal status like the rest of the folks on facebook.

Missed opportunity.
Think about ZFS - ZFS works perfectly fine for me and I don't have the foggiest idea how it works beyond "copy on write" magic.
I'm saying this somewhat in jest, but this would give disproportionate political influence to families with larger quantities of children. And don't sit here and tell me with a straight face that children will make up their minds independently of influence from their parents. Cough religion cough.

Article is paywalled, but headline implies mRNA tech is behind all Covid-19 vaccines, whereas J&J, AZ, SputnikV, and several others being used around the world are not (most of them adenovirus based, I think). Should say something more like "...the mRNA tech behind two Covid-19 vaccines", or "...behind Pfizer and Moderna vaccines".
It goes a lot further than that. I had a very brief stint at a company that looked good on the surface but was toxic as hell underneath. As part of my employment agreement I had to sign an NDA stating I could not discuss my compensation with other employees. If memory serves there was an exception for HR and my manager but I wasn’t supposed to talk about it with anyone else. I honestly don’t know if conditions like that are legal in Ontario but I also didn’t have the resources to contest it.
Mátalos a todos y que dios elija a los suyos.

But at least it's not EBCDIC, the day I find that in the wild is the day I will retire from computers and become a farmer.
> Looking at my daughter of 13, I’m confident she’s world smart enough to make a more sane and well-informed decision than half of the adults I know.

Without commenting on the objective intelligence of your child, I think this observation speaks more to either the set of adults you know, or the set of adults in your society in general.

I would feel safer if we focused on resolving the situation where most adults around you were more sane / informed / rational / smarter than a generic 13yo.
Well, good, then they won’t mind.

Ha, that's some mighty fine trademark infringement ...

I'm usually pretty vigilant but you passed off quite well until I noticed the domain name writ large in the address bar.
This statement can be true if 60% of the PC's were low end configurations and(or?) 60% of the Windows desktops have high-speed, HA internet connection. Eastern Europe suffers from unstable, slow and expensive internet connections with high traffic restrictions. In my country, the most used internet package is limited to 20GB/mo traffic up/down and after you exceed it, you get 64/32kbps speed.

I pray every day for Linux to replace 60% of Windows desktops. And I am talking about OS thats far more mature, usable and functional. I don't think this will happen in near future, and I really don't think that ChromeOS will achieve that.
My bet? Probably most of them. But that's only because almost every service is abandoned by most of its initial users. I set up a site once where literally the instant you made an account you were adding content; you typed your name, hit enter, and then filled out a profile field. Still this led to a great deal of blank profiles.

Probably if their goal is to make a load of money they should start figuring things out. I don't know if that's their priority, though; they seem to enjoy being Internet superstars. Hopefully they'll hit on a wonderful profit plan, but really, no hurry. Plenty of companies have spent excessively long times getting profitable but they've pulled through anyway.
I wonder what process ICE go through to have a .com redelegated. Since Verisign operate the .com registry they would have to be involved at some point along the line.
Again and again we see people migrating from closed to open technologies, often despite initial strong advantages of the closed platform.

I wonder if the same thing could happen with innovative startup markets.

You think it could be as least as powerful as the standard Windows 7 calculator - which is actually pretty nice.
You don't get infinite acceleration from one velocity difference. End of story.

Given a steady source of energy, you can accelerate as much as you like, up to the limit of losses due to friction. What do you think is going to prevent that? More energy, more acceleration.

And again, remember that the ability to extract energy from the velocity difference is independent of the vehicle's speed. The acceleration isn't infinite of course, because the energy has to come from somewhere--but so long as the velocity difference between the media persists, energy can be extracted. In this case, that means "as long as the wind is blowing", since the energy to move a lightweight vehicle around isn't going to make much of a difference compared to the total energy in the atmosphere.

Funny; demands to make a bet seem pretty common around this whole matter.

Demands? More like an offer of free money, wouldn't you say? I mean, you'd just have to prove that their clearly impossible machine indeed doesn't work, right?
What I want out of a conference: what technologies are out there and how they address the headaches of development and/or solve problems that I am having.
I think the solution to this has to be mainly technological, not (primarily) legal. Fake cell towers are not NSA-level technology and it seems that they are being deployed in lots of places [1][2], probably by lots of different parties. If a bunch of people are doing it, changing the law won't help that much. Probably not all of these actors are 'legit' (police or whatever). The networks themselves have to be secured better so that this is impossible, or at least much harder, to pull off.

Old fart version: Back in the days of $1000+ 10mbps ethernet cards, I figured out how to transfer 3mbps over the net and then use an 8 bit at a time state machine (not enough RAM for more) to de-huffman 12bit diffed pixel values to achieve 10mbps lossless transfer of greyscale images with a 3mip CPU.

With a fortuitous natural interleaving effect on the network combined with an inability of the computers to send more than about 3mbps, it could support three of these transfers simultaneously, 9mbps on the wire, leaving people scratching their head about ethernet being "proved"[1] to not be able to carry more than 1mbps.

Interestingly, the state machine approach is almost certainly a loser now that CPUs are so much faster than memory. Better to take the 8 little branches (~4 mis-predictions) and stay in cache. Probably… maybe a 4 bit at a time state machine would keep the table small enough for L1 cache…

[1] proved for a certain set of givens, which turned out not to be true in real life, thank goodness, or we'd all be using Token Ring and FDDI networks now.
I am building my own system that is a little bit like Evernote. I wrote a Firefox plugin for capturing clips from the web, I can upload all the eBooks, PDFs, etc., that I have accumulated, and as I search for and view stored information, my software automatically detects topics, entities, etc., and tries to pull in other information from DBPedia and from Bing search. I use simple tagging of information to collect stored information for different uses. I am just now rewriting it to be a multiple user system (I wrote it originally as a single user (me!) system).

I am trying to decide whether to try to sell it as a commercial product or open source it. The codebase is a collection of Clojure, Clojurescript, Java, and Javascript and is fairly easy to hack on.
