Apparently someone used this on the lkml.org web server.
No quartz? How does it keep time?
Thanks for this. I really enjoyed watching it.
3 reasons: uptime (your internet connection), uptime (your electricity supply) and uptime (your hardware).
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD does the reverse. In my opinion, where Linux outshines FreeBSD is in hardware support.
I wrote a mobile application 2 years ago and since then, I managed to bring in a little over $1.6M. I price the game at $1.99. Revenue really spiked when was mentioned on the App Store.
Not really. Designers expect prettier designs than standard GUI widgets, I'm not convinced users have ever wanted non-standard widgets. In fact, more than a decade of bitching-about-java has taught me that users hate non-native widgets. But hey, developers love them so fuck users.

Native widgets play significantly better with all accessibility tools, in part because native widgets are so customizable. You didn't need bespoke "Dark Mode" that was some designer's wet dream of what an interface should look like, you could just customize your widgets for what you needed: https://66.media.tumblr.com/19cb7fe3e0eef36debbd0167d6e6e0ea...
I just looked at my submission history and I've only submitted it to /r/programming once - so that isn't spam.

And yes - I've bought all the reddit ads I can get my hands on - they are in pretty limited quantity.
Google uses it for their semantic searches and Apple/Microsoft use it for their personal assistants. So this idea that Wikipedia isn't a primary source of information is nonsense. It is.

Until it stops being the first search result for the majority of "typical" searches it will remain a primary source of information.
Even simpler, Vim now includes blowfish encryption.
I came across this finding often while doing some research on sleep deprivation - Sleeping for more than 8 hours daily can be harmful.

Quoting an article from Time -
"Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest. [...] Sleeping 8.5 hr. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr."

Wow. If the real world isn't depressing enough, start talking about a random idea in your head as though it's fact.
I have never had any luck with cold calls (we haven't pushed hard on this though). Can you tell me more about what your experience was?
A lot of my work is on avionics software. As far as programming knowledge goes, I've learned most of what I need to do my job before college, or at least outside of college. As far as avionics goes, I've learned most of it on the job. My college education has been at best marginal with respect to the work I actually do.

However, it would have been at best very difficult for me to cut through the red tape to get the work I have without a college degree. The sorts of people who do hiring in this industry seem to really want to see that.

The degree itself is valuable if you are endeavoring to work in an environment whose administrators expect you to have one. The education itself you can get on your own. Though, I personally find it helpful to be "forced" to learn some topics more deeply or broadly than I would have on my own (and this is something that I probably wouldn't have really understood until experiencing it in college).
Sometimes a term becomes so strongly associated with unethical behavior that it can't be used in a more positive context. I think this is true for "SEO". In theory there should be no cognitive bias against the idea of optimizing a site design to make it easily searchable; but historically this term is associated with shady practices.

One of your comments states that you want to make "SEO" a brand people respect. I don't think this is going to happen in the short term, when the experienced engineers you want to hire remember cursing the unethical behavior of other SEO practitioners.
Epic book, worth a read if anyone enjoyed the article.
IE6-compatibility adds to the work of creating new web apps, so the client's bill ends up naturally being higher if they want IE6 support. With IE6 still having almost 20% of the market, it sometimes makes business sense to continue to support IE6.

P.S. I wish IE6 would die in a fire.
Learning on the job is a valid point, but it's often not interdisciplinary. You learn and develop your skills in the areas you work in. Opportunities to expand your skillset and study other topics are difficult to come by in many work environments. Especially if you're in a position that didn't require a degree in the first place.

I agree you don't have to go to a University to learn, but you do have to find willing and qualified teachers and mentors which can be harder than it might seem.
I said in another thread around here, "if you're going to get a liberal arts degree, either have enough money to afford it, or be so intensely interested in the liberal arts that you're willing to pay back your damn loans." But really, what I mean by that is a slight bit more direct (yet subtle) than it seems.

It's quite possible that the study of purely academic subjects--subjects which have little chance of improving one's employment prospects--will enrich someone's life tremendously, and that the university is the best place to study some of these subjects. I'm not interested in boring arguments about what those subjects might be, or whether any such subjects may exist, but let's entertain at least the possibility that some do. Isn't lifelong enrichment worth a decade or so of loan payments?

Engineers see the cost of college as a variable in a purely financial cost-benefit analysis, and don't understand why philosophers would even bother because it fails that analysis. But philosophers get something fundamentally different out of college. Is it worth the money? That's a personal question.
Requiring Safari 4: How is that any different than requiring a plugin, unless you just happen to already use Safari?
I think this is a good point. Has there ever been a point in history where literally anything you wanted to know wasn't locked away in some obscure institution? It's hard to sometimes remind yourself how lucky you are to live in our times (though I imagine they've said that about past decades as well).
They don't come any larger than 0.3 karats, which is too small for a solitaire. You can't get them to match either, which makes them bad for side stones. I tried.

A good alternative is Canadian diamonds, which are not owned by DeBeers, not mined or polished by slaves, and not the cause of any conflict. That solves about half the problems with diamonds.

Get them from Brilliant Earth (I'm not employed there, just a very satisfied customer.)
Read Clayton Christensen
Having been a sw PM for 20yrs I think self-awareness and willingness to explain highlight those that are truly brilliant. They recognize their abilities and become accustomed to explaining their ideas. Your awareness of your own limitations is credit to your intelligence IMO. Others who get frustrated when having to explain or posture do so from posturing or insecurity. Being in a new position requires computation of many more inputs than a old timer too, slowing down thought by an order of magnitude. Who knows, you may be the smartest dude in the room. Good luck!
Sadly... Me neither.

>I disagree. The more commenters that are available, the more likely it is that one commenter will be an expert that can supply a unique perspective.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. My fault. More commenters don't necessarily increase value. If that were the case, Digg would be much more valuable then HN.

I do think you are correct, in that more commenters means a greater chance of getting an expert answer, but it also increases the chance of getting poor answer. How do you determine which one to take?

> Really now, what is it about knowing your name that makes your statements any less questionable?

If the choice was between taking the advice of pg and RandomDood123 regarding startups, I'd probably take pg's. I wouldn't disregard RandomDood, but at the same time, pg's comment would gain more weight.
A long piece but one of the few I've read in full lately - this is a great article and if you're interested in ideas and semi-formal concepts relating to communicating ideas, I heartily recommend it.
Whether this is the best way to do it depends on how much you value miles, which depends on the airline / your location / what kind of flying you do. For a lot of people, just taking 2% cash back might be a better deal, though.
I got the "default" Gravatar image (the placeholder logo). You might want to filter that out. Interesting idea, though! Didn't work too great with my details but I'm wondering whether I could have really expected it to.
I'm not sure it is treating them as inferior consumers as much as it's seeing what they value. Teenagers are generally self involved. They aren't information consumers except when that information involves their immediate surroundings (aka gossip, updates from friends, etc...)

The iPhone and Android are all about information consumption. Check your e-mail, superior web browsing, news, weather, stocks, etc... Most of which, I'd assume, is of little value to a teen (even if they're in to celebrity gossip the Flash-less iPhone isn't going to do much for them)

Again, I'm not a teen. I don't know if the Kin appeals to them. But I can see how they'd have different values and how something that appeals to me (iPhone/Android) might not appeal to them.

This hardly captures Apple's strategy. It appears to offer an insight into one step in their strategic thinking for one issue, but the title of the post is quite misleading.
"It's just not included in the major browsers atm"

Thus my statement which was factual and not incorrect. If the browser vendors don't vet the certificate authority then most people will get the warning.
The landing page doesn't have enough information for me to want to register, perhaps some screenshots of the user area, at least?
Agreed. Hopefully Rackspace will re-price accordingly.
No one gets burned without a burner.

The secondary market is therefore also an excellent place to burn someone big time.
Does this work well or at all on the Cr-48?
I see this as part of the challenge - being able to access archives while maintaining and controlling a hierarchy of usefulness/meaningfulness. I think the author would agree with you on the issues you bring up, but worrying about spam is part of building tools where you still get to choose who accesses your 'memories', as much as we choose who comes into our house and into our lives. Open standards for controlling access to data is needed alongside any building of memory aggregation tools.
Going to the movies must be beyond gouging if you look at it from that perspective.

My guess is TIPS would outperform gold for low to moderate inflation and get absolutely crushed for high or hyper inflation.
In most jobs (outside of the hyper-unionized, hyper-bigCo places that are policy, checkbox and butt-covering driven and internally function a lot like government) management will cover for these kind of actions even if they're not officially sanctioned by policy. Basically what you do outside of the rules is on you but if the outcome is good you don't get fired like this guy did.
Chain Replication (and friends) are vastly simpler than Paxos (and friends) in many ways, but do have the same requirement for determinism. That's because chain replicated systems typically need to be confluent (see https://pathelland.substack.com/p/dont-get-stuck-in-the-con-...), which means that all the replicas need to have the same value in them when replication is done. Conceptually simpler, for sure, but many of the same challenges remain.
Safari used to make it easy to reject all cookies with an exception list. I wish this feature would return. They have also made it very difficult to access and manage cookies outside of Safari. Seems inconsistent with Apple's public stance on tracking.
Fact that they had to do that does prove the point, doesn't it?

How about organizations that hit the scaling point, but are not big enough to invest into tooling like that?
I feel like Scala started a trend in language design, where every language adds features from other languages. Not because there's a need, but because some people are used to language X.

Example: adding OOP in PHP and Javascript. In both examples, especially the first attempts, were half-baked. Why bolt on half a language feature? Both languages would be much better served with dependency management and / or modules, which for both languages came out of the community at first.

Counter-example would be Go, that resists change - especially if it's requested with a "this feature is in language X! I NEED it!". From the FAQ: https://golang.org/doc/faq#Why_doesnt_Go_have_feature_X (followed by some features other languages have. Generics / type arguments is one that will probably be added in an upcoming version of Go, but they only considered it once they fully understood the problem and need)
There's a blooming ecosystem of pure functional programming libraries. Or even two ecosystems: Typelevel and ZIO.

My company uses Scala a lot with with these ecosystems (my team is on Typelevel, another one is on ZIO) and in fact Spark and Akka is what we're trying to avoid as much as possible. Once I got used to the composable nature of FP and static types - both Spark and Akka just feel clumsy and unintuitive, like maintainers of Spark chose Scala because it was a "Java with fancy syntax" back then, ignored most of benefits of static types, HKT, immutability, type classes etc. If there's future behind Scala - it definitely doesn't lie in Apache land. Akka is slightly different and probably has higher potential, but just an overkill for most of use cases it's advertised for.
the main thing that I dislike about it is that they try to highlight certain - relevant - comments instead of showing the comment thread as is
this happens a lot when searching, and is especially annoying on mobile where it's not clear at all on how to view the entire thread.
This could follow with information density in general, I think another important piece to consider is most of the people who are using old.reddit.com probably still use RES (reddit enhancement suite).
it was indeed cool. also generating audio. fun times.
I never managed, no tried, to put a jpg on screen though. Not sure how many lines that would require.

You point is irrelevant, an internet connection is becoming more and more essential in day to day living.
also opposite:

what is considered good c++ has changed pretty dramatically from what I learned in the 90s. Though afaik none of those changes were breaking.
You could get a "Business co-founder" while you focus on the technical side.
India has massive problems to do with poverty and public health that are massively linked with infrastructure. India needs to inspire new engineers and scientists and also needs to keep the existing ones in the country. On that basis alone, stuff like this is massively more beneficial than the price tag.
It seems to me that the essay tried to answer the question "What is it that you want to have as your career". Now, whether you can actually make that your career is an entirely different question. I might love playing tennis, but if I'm 30 years old. There is no chance I could start now and become a professional player.

short answer: features.
they were targeting foreigners outside of the usa. which by chance happened to be taking to an American, much to the spies surprise.

This really isn't true. I know it sounds trite, but if you love somebody, you'll find a way to make it work, and it won't seem a chore. That isn't to say long-distance relationships aren't challenging, but small issues like time zone differences (even large ones) just melt away.
Your thoughts, ashark, are exactly how I feel. I love software development and have worked long days on websites I've developed with buddies, personal projects, etc. But on the job, even doing very similar things, it's not nearly the same level of enjoyment.

I crave the freedom you mention, and it's why I loved college so much. I'd spend a couple hours a day programming, a couple hours a day at classes and doing school work, a few hours hanging out with friends, some time reading, some time as parts of different organizations, some time at church, some time playing sports etc. and I loved it. To this day I think life is best lived like that.

However, I think it's hard to find a life like that in "the real world." I wish that would change.
"I'm just not passionate about sofas. God knows I've tried. Try as I might, I just can't seem to shake off this damnable sense of perspective."
As a solo-founder, I've never run into a customer that cared how many people were involved in my company. Once you get to the point that things look professional, most just assume you aren't running the company out of your apartment. Maybe this matters more for sales-intensive B2B startups though.

To say nothing of Lisp. Or C with its ?: operator.
Sometimes you can sit back and let the other person drive.

Exactly. I am more than happy to pay my fair share, which is considerable. But I am extremely not happy to have to fight through arcane, barely understandable accounting homework each year - and as a small business owner to boot, shell out a few hundred to a tax service to make sure I don't screw it up doing it myself.

It's absurd.
It's because his comment is essentially "Republicans are evil and the US should be more like Europe." Even if you agree with that, by now you're probably tired of seeing it on every single thread everywhere.
> Tether isn't a small component of the Bitcoin ecosystem. It's at the heart of Bitcoin with it being the primary currency used to buy Bitcoin with at most exchanges

So if you were a big company, let's say Tesla, which wanted to buy a lot of bitcoin, let's say 1.5 bil, would that mean that you first need to convert that 1.5 bil to Tether, since that's the most liquid denomination of BTC?

Could it be that some of those "fake" $500 mil daily Tethers were actually really backed by Tesla dollars?
When it comes to std::optional, the answer is no. In fact, std::optional<T&> is explicitly forbidden (see here: https://www.fluentcpp.com/2018/10/05/pros-cons-optional-refe...)

It is used in some other places though. For instance, std::string implementations typically employ small-string optimization (SSO) which means that there might be a limit on string::size() since some of the bits inside that value are used for different purposes (example: https://akrzemi1.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/common-optimizatio...). The "niche" in this case is the realization that strings are unlikely to be exabytes in size, so there is no reason to always store zeros in high bits of _size.
Yep this is a huge cultural problem with the Scala community. On paper and in marketing material, Scala is flexible enough to empower you to slip into mutable/OOP style or more FP style. But in practice the pure FP enthusiasts are the ones who totally dominate the ecosystem (aside from Haoyi Li). You simply cannot just ignore the Haskell Larpers/Wannabe's and get on with it, because they infect all the community watering holes like Reddit, Gitter and Discourse. Every time one talks about using non-pure-FP features of the language, they have to go through the same tired patronizing lectures about how "yes I know this is not 'safe'" and "yes I know what I'm doing" and "I'm very sorry that I am not as smart as you smart FP people" before you can actually talk about what you want to talk about.
I don't use Rust often (sadly), but I really appreciate its goals and its steady progress. I read every one of these Rust 1.x stories on HN. Around Christmas I made an n-player chess clock with Rust and websockets [0] (because my friends are really slooow Agricola players :-), and it was incredibly easy compared to my first projects 5 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long. So thank you to all the folks working on it, and also thank you to everyone helping out 5-year newbies like me. Especially steveklabnik, I think you've helped me personally several times. :-)

Interesting you bring this up. Actually, our implementation was intentionally de-coupled from the product and it's based on auth API endpoints. (So yes, for something beyond basic conditional logic, this needs to be enabled first.)

Before a call, this diagram comes with manifest of what data has to be supplied into it. So once it's called, all prep data is there. Whatever happens inside is data manipulation and some basic operations. The output of it is also described in the contract.

Very similar to how customized pricing/rating engine might work (as, in fact, I was PM for one of such).

Your project seems fun, too. I'm pretty sure you are going after some specific use cases.
Off-topic, but is your game open source? I'd love to see more examples of Bevy being used in the wild.
Sure, but perhaps he chose to keep his professional career as free of drama as he could while still quitting because of this. Prospective employers are now more likely to hire him, knowing that he won't be likely to blow things up on his way out.

Keep in mind that there's more to the sentence you're quoting...

Ah, so Lyra today will not work on RISC-V, i386, Power, MIPS, lower end or older ARM chips like the Allwinner H3 (very popular in Single Board Computers) and any other new architecture that comes out?
