Your protobuf messages are changing that much? My condolences.

ETA: Also, you already are needing to add code to every encode/decode point for the `map[string]interface{}` handling. :P
Ah, so that explains it. I just switched from Sprint (which always gave me an IPv4 address) to T-Mobile (which gives me an IPv6 address).
Hmm, I didn't notice anything on Firefox on my Mac. I have a ton of tabs open and about and 15 programs running, including handbrake rendering some videos. I opened up Activity Monitor and watched what happened while loading and then manipulating the sliders. Nothing. Absolutely nothing budged under CPU, GPU, or Memory. The site was smooth as a hot knife through butter.

Maybe you should list your OS, your browser, and your hardware specs.
> Is lynx up to spec on HTML5 ARIA attributes? My understanding is that that's how accessibility is "supposed" to be done now

No, that's not true at all and is unfortunately a common anti-pattern. Accessibility is supposed to be done by using standard HTML elements and attributes. ARIA is there to extend / fill in the blanks and to fix things when people deviate from the norm. For instance, if you have a button, you should almost always use the standard HTML <button> and only use some other element type with an ARIA role=button if it's unavoidable. And <button role=button> is redundant. Best practice is still to use the semantics defined by HTML, as it always was.
I'm curious about a couple of things that aren't quite covered in the article?

- Where's the "Buy it Now" page for this data?

- Is the information sold in aggregate or per record?

- Do Californian's have an idea of who is buying the information?

- Do Californians have an option to opt-out?
AT&T's 12/8 is used for end-user address assignments by AT&T Services. See https://bgp.he.net/AS7018#_prefixes for their announcements.
> It has become painful to use.

I've found the opposite, despite advertisements. For one thing, Youtube provides very good auto-generated captions and makes it easy to watch a sped-up version of the video. This saves way more time than would be taken up by looking at ads.

Of course people should still host their own videos but I see this as more like a backup, in case YouTube goes rouge somehow.
Random anecdote: I moved to VA back in the 99-00 period. The then-new governor had made improving DMV part of his resume projects, and spent a boatload of money on improving several aspects - more hiring, tech upgrades, and some process upgrades like creating different lines for different kinds of business and a ticketing system so you could sit until called.

It was a great experience. show up, someone ( no waiting!) asks me what I'm there for and hands me the appropriate form (circling the actual areas I needed to answer) and gives me a ticket. in 5ish mins I was called up, handed in my form and papers, and they processed my new ID, sending me to a second area for a pic and to get my ID. Total visit time: less than 15 mins.

Several years later, after a new governor and the inevitable budget cuts, most of this was gone. Still had the intake, but no one helped me decipher the form, and the wait was much longer. The atmosphere was similarly dour, with a big crowd of people that just wanted to get this errand done but had to wait. Total visit time: over 1 hour.

But the basic contrast showed me how much of complaints about govt slowness is just a matter of funding/staffing.
We're talking about patch-based updates that happen on a frequent, not full OS updates. OS updates on Nexus devices always happen immediately just like iPhones, which is what we're talking about...

Non-Nexus devices distributed with OS modified by 3rd-party vendors and/or cheap/low-powered Androids are the big reason why Android phones stats show a lack of updates. It is not because of Google - which does push out OS updates in a timely way.

Yet Google still releases patch/delta very infrequently which is what we're comparing vs Windows.
> If it's that bad, let market pressure will push the model out of existence.

Not enough people in the market care about this for it to truly impact car manufacturers.

> Even if it's made legal, they can always sell you a 100 year lease on the car with terms and conditions.

This, however, seems like something that the market would react poorly to, unless it was made significantly cheaper than owning.
Bitcoin is a tool, it has no philosophy; its creator did certainly, but tools don't think nor have opinions and once released into the wild, the creators philosophy is simply no longer relevant. The code is open source, people will use the tool however they like regardless of the creators intentions.

The collectable market keeps growing with new products and new prices everyday. Something historically valuable will generally keep that value and increase over time (like the original Apple computer).
I guess we should go back to throwing those guys in prison, for the decorum.
Collectibles are a great investment if you're a dealer. Buy the collectible for 50% of it's selling value. Sell it to a collector for 100%. Pretty profitable, if you ask me.

If you are a collector, never buy anything less than the ones that are in the highest condition and very rare. Also make sure it's highly wanted by other collectors. Those are the ones that shoot up in value. Anything else tends to not keep up with inflation. I think that's why collectables are thought to be a bad investment.
That's not true, actually. The Wikipedia page for Linux has a bunch of direct-from-Linus citations. Here's one I found literally on the first row of citations.

>the latter also works if you have a file selected rather than a folder

Wait, how do you "navigate down the folder hierarchy" if you don't select a folder? There is no deeper hierarchy.
I wouldn’t mind working until the end if it was on something interesting.

How about we all end up as scientists who work on discovery?
I wish, although I'm totally aware it'll never happen, that there were no time zones, just UTC and that's it.

One clock for the world. If that meant you started work at 0900 UTC and finished at 1700 UTC then fine, but if you lived in a different part of the world your work day might be 0100-0900.

It'd definitely take a bit of getting used to, but as the world becomes more intertwined, timezones are a pain and constant source of confusion.
Very cool. I'll check it out! It does look easier to setup. Does it work the same way? By adding a trusted CA into the keychain list?

The docker use-case is tricky, as images are immutable so you have to basically create a new image with the cert in place.
IHMO the Explorer from Windows XP (this is the last Windows I used before Windows 10) was better, did the job and was simple, now it seems bloated for me and too mouse dependent, I like to use the keyboard whenever possible, other big feature missing in windows and built in in mac is the file preview, you just hit space and you can see most common file formats without opening them, maybe Windows has this but I'm not aware of it.

In general I think Mac has better UX out of the box, Windows surely has a lot of features but not very easy to use, other thing that I miss about Windows is that before with one right click and a left click I could change my network settings (LAN), now I need a few clicks to get to it (but I never remember which menu I need to click it).

Some linux distros are now easier to configure than windows, mac is the king in this regard (but there are some advanced configurations that you need the terminal for, so this is a cons, but most of them are rarely used)

Would there be anything wrong with "we really liked you but found someone else better"? That's been the situation in my company recently. None of the candidates were bad, all of them would have been capable of doing the job but we had to choose one.
agreed. science has never offered any simple narrative, it's a sprawling, incomprehensible, fascinating mess. it's a human story just like everything else.
I wholeheartedly disagree. Good development practices already encompass all of these issues and a great developer can skill up for a new language in a few weeks.

The issue is that there is a lack of great developers in the world, not that mobile development is especially hard or requires any kind of unique skill-set.
Right, that was the point I was trying to make - how can anyone be surprised at what you find there when they advertise it so well?

Personally I wouldn't expect "a culture of fear" going in but I'd at least have a pretty good idea that I need to perform, and produce high quality stuff, to survive there.

Personally, Zed, I don't give a shit about "ad hominem"; my "hominem" has been the "ad" of many an "arguendo", just like you, and (unlike you, I know) my take is pretty much "that's life in the big city". So, I don't hold myself to this standard of not considering the source in arguments and controversies, even though I recognize the virtue of doing so. I'm a manifestly imperfect person.

But I'm not talking about rhetorical purity here. I'm talking about a comment that implies Theo gave a reasonable (maybe even classy) response to the situation. Put yourself back in the position of being a lead dev at Bear. Imagine someone accused one of your better developers of, say, fraud. What's the standard you set for yourself for sticking by your people? From your demeanor, my guess is your standard for loyalty to your own people is even higher than mine.

And that's my point here. How well is Theo acquitting himself here? He's not doing terribly. He's not necessarily doing great.

But hey, either way, I'm out here with my name signed to my posts. If it turns out Theo was justified in questioning how Jason handled this, everyone can look this post up and hoist me with it down the road. I would concede up front that this is kind of not a whole lot my business; I have a minor, historical, emotional attachment to it and nothing more.

You brought it up, I responded. There you go.
I made the switch a week or two ago, and it was pretty painless. Kept most of my previous configuration, but only brought it over once I used it and missed it (to find out what I'm acutally using).

The one thing I haven't set up yet is YouCompleteMe (or an autocomplete replacement that uses neovim's threading), as at a quick glance it looked like it would be more than just a few minutes' setup.
Both of you guys missed the point.

The problem that people are trying to solve by abolishing time zones is the annoying need to deal with time differences when scheduling meetings. The "I need to consult a table to schedule meetings" problem.

But we've just moved the problem under another shell. Now, in order to schedule meetings, I have to know what the universal "04:00" means for all participants. This is just the flip side of the same coin.

The real fundamental problem is that people like to work "during the day" and sleep "during the night". Either we solve that problem with time zones tables, or we solve it with "what is the solar time of day" tables. The author of this article is arguing, and I agree, that trading one for the other doesn't improve the situation ("is not simpler"), has a lot of human transition costs, and that the new problem may not ACTUALLY be an improvement over the old problem.
In addition to topical interest, this is exactly how I feel when I don't own something and don't have responsibilities.

At my last job, I was brought on into a role of leadership and immediately had all of it usurped by my boss (formerly doing my responsibilities) upon my first couple of this-is-unexplored-territory-so-I-stepped-on-a-rake mistakes. Looking back, I was checked out by April (and I started in February).

"Checking out" for me is hard to see until I'm not checked-out anymore. I can't even feel it in the moment, because I still like to argue and I still want to do capital-R Right, but my brain stopped really working for a while. My mental health followed. What few good projects I did and was proud of felt more like the work of other people (even though in retrospect I more than carried my weight) or were things I built out of spite to prove that, no, I really did know what I was talking about, jerks.

Of course, they're not jerks, and I'm friends or friendly with even the folks in my management chain now that I no longer work there. (Getting a 50% raise to leave didn't hurt.) But I can't be a meat puppet, it's not in my nature, and I feel like that's the case for most of the really really good programmers I know.
So that those of us who don't speak Japanese can get a feel for what you're saying - what do the original Japanese texts mean (i.e. could you give us a better translation)?

People more likely use custom types anyway, and only have to create operations on those custom types ( except maybe for go language designers themselves).

People developing whole applications use custom types. People developing libraries meant for general use seem to prefer not limiting their stuff to working with their language's comparatively few built-in types (at least, that's how things seem to go in languages with generics -- Guava's BloomFilter should work with any type, even if that type was created well after Guava was written).
I hate to follow the pattern of negative Hacker News comments, but this article is atrocious. Please don't upvote it.

First, the title is total clickbait. Heat and sound are magnetic??? More like heat and sound are affected a little bit by magnetic fields. (Giant magnetic fields at low temperature, no less.)

Second, take a look at the first paragraph:

>"Earlier this month, we reported on research demonstrating that heat propagates as a wave through graphene rather than as vibrations of atoms the way it does in 3-D materials. In 3-D materials, the collective state of those vibrating atoms is known as phonons."

What does it mean to say that heat propagates as a wave rather than as vibrations of atoms? The definition of phonon is a WAVE of ATOMIC VIBRATIONS. It makes zero sense to say it travels as wave, but not as vibrations. Also, there is not a fundamental difference between heat transport in graphene and normal materials - the main difference is that is just takes a longer distance before the wavelike motion scatters enough to become diffusive.

Interesting that you consider A Scanner Darkly minor. I'm guessing you're referring to the book, not the movie. Why's that? I found it to be really good- it'd probably be in my top 5 (Ubik being #1 so far).

I'm very new to having a kid but so far I've found it's helped focus my time more efficiently by getting better at multi-tasking, and then the remaining "interests" time is spent with a serious, no-time-to-waste approach.

Also, you might be surprised at what having a kid does to you, in a good way. Like PG mentions in his essay, once people have kids they tend to be their focus, and it's satisfying to guide them and see them grow.
It's like r/programming or such.

What I'm describing is a rather simple system. If I had access to Rings database and Google's database, I can personally create that system and I'm a very ordinary engineer.

Regarding the rest of the comment: I'm just trying to avoid what I can and delay it as long as I can to find a healthy balance. Else why worry about privacy at all.
Sure something like that, although I'd say it's to save every species that's practical to save rather than merely possible. Whether or not they're "viable" seems irrelevant.

I have such conflicting views on suicide. On the one hand suicidal feelings are often temporary across the grand expanse of life, on the other hand surely there is a better way to handle people that have suffered such hardship than sterile mental hospitals, drugs, and societal shaming.

It's so strange that we're allowed to have Do Not Resuscitate medical necklaces but they're only followed if something outside the person's power caused the trauma.
With an unmodified `debsums`, of course.
I'm using the simple definition that murder is killing with intent, barring modifiers such as a state of war or emotional modifiers, which machines are incapable of.

Computer systems are deterministic - if we give it A, we expect to get B, not C or D in some unpredictable pattern. If we do somehow get C, that is an error, not an insight. If we allow that the machine is correct 90% of the time, it's still in error but furthermore we have now codified an acceptable error rate. A human or group of humans had to make that decision, because computers are incapable of deciding what is acceptable or not acceptable.

Ergo, when you step off the curb into the path of that self-driving car, someone has already made a decision that 10% of the time, you die. The stated intent might be to maximise the preservation of the lives of the vehicle's occupants or that group of schoolchildren or a dog or whatever, but the unstated intent is that someone has to die.

Which means it is codified killing, or murder. It is not a happy (or unhappy) accident of the universe.
> That assumes all thumbnails or pictures hash to the same value.

The same set of values, yes.

> Why would that be? There can be different algorithms, resolutions, crops...

Yes, so you do normalization and reduction before computing the hashes.

And ‘hashes’ doesn’t have to mean literal SHA. Any non-reversible fingerprinting algorithm will do.
Take for example Comcast buying up all the local ISPs, Disney buying up every media company, and FB acquiring Instagram to eliminate potential competition. These were all very successful acquisitions and the right business decision.

However I'm not convinced they were in the public interest.
The silence of the corporate media on Ivermectin is so deafening.

Dear BBC how about a mention of Ivermectin from you. We await with bated breath.
I think the other aspect is inventory-time-cost. There's probably a narrow category of things that are high-value/(kg OR L), but not so much so to justify air transit. Or can't be.

Maybe loads of lithium batteries? Autos? Some foodstuffs good for 7 days but not 21? Trains can make lots of stops, but that can make a lot of sense for global goods.
When corporations censor people expressing skepticism of corporate profit motives, are they not helping to reinforce those beliefs?
> So, effectively, APIs are copyrightable if there is a linked patent claim in the same lawsuit.

I suspect the Supreme Court would not be happy if a pattern develops where companies include spurious patent claims in order to get their copyright case heard by the Federal Circuit instead of one of the other circuits. They won't want another mess like this case, and if the Federal Circuit again rules in favor of API copyright and against fair use, I would expect the Supreme Court to rule on the API copyright question directly rather than merely clarify the bounds of fair use as in this case.
..and forced them to bitcoin right before the latest massive uptick. If they've been sitting on them, while I'm sure only a tiny percentage will bother converting their account to BTC, and likely not enough to make up the difference, they could not have asked for a better timing.
By extension it can, by declining to service some customers.

I think internet access is a great case for common carrier, there the service exists to put two parties in direct communication with one another. I dont know that it applies well to a website, which conceptually looks more like a community newspaper, with little editorial functionality.
I use some paid applications on Linux: inSync, MATLAB, StarUML, Pagico, Spotify and Dropbox. Last two are maybe services but, they have clients which change capabilities with license level.

If you want to sell me Linux software, provide a fair pricing model and provide a native app (Spotify is Electron but, it's not a bad offender). Also, please do not neglect your app just because it's on Linux. I don't like to feel neglected just because I use a free & open source OS. You'd kill my loyalty.

Some of the applications are subscriptions, some are not. Some require paid upgrades, some do not. If I feel that your software worth the money you ask for, I'll pay for it, no questions asked.

I think inSync, StarUML and Pagico has great pricing models. The other examples I have work as a subscription already.

All of the applications I install (except MATLAB) comes as a .deb package. No frills. Plain .deb. Sometimes a repo is attached, which makes it nicer.
Tons. There still exists some holdouts with long histories (such as anandtech). That said, once upon a time nearly all "social media" was forums for things of interest.

It sort of makes me sad for the internet bygone. I really miss the fact that nearly every product had a half dozen fan pages dedicated to it. Things like https://www.massassi.net/ were amazing back in their hayday. Now everything it consolidated into big social media locations :(

I'd assume you'd mean segfaults. It's somewhat painful to track down a segfault in PHP, but if you can compile PHP with debug symbols and then invoke a failing scripts under gdb, it's fairly straightforward.
You go where the best chance for what you're trying to achieve is. For pg it was silicon valley, for you it's NYC, for investment funds in Europe it's going to be London, for engineering in Europe it's going to be Germany.

I don't think your analogy is that accurate, we have plenty of successes here (James Dyson, Theo Paphitis, Alan Sugar, Richard Branson) as well as the many smaller ones noone knows about. Also, failure is relative. In the industry I work in, there are people that I know well who have exited on good terms, my main business makes a fraction of what they made, but I enjoy the freedom more and (to the best of my knowledge) so do the guys that work for me.

I do agree about the difference in the cost of failure though. Personally I blame Del Boy Trotter for a lot of that.
