Hardly agreed, they just don't care about their privacy.

Most of us is somewhat related to the software industry. We know what's the worst thing could happen when we don't care about privacy.

On the other hand, 90% of people be like "so what? should i throw my phone to the lake because they changed privacy policy?". I really like Signal, but yeah. WhatsApp at the another level that couldn't be changed in some privacy assaulting policy changes.
That’s fair, I think it’s safe to say nobody really knows what the second- and third- order effects of 230 repeal would be.

An optimistic take is that we would revert to a ~2008 internet where Twitter and Facebook are much less dominant and “the feed” is a self-curated list of RSS feeds (or ActivityPub subscriptions). A more pessimistic one is that we all run for cover in private self-moderated Slacks and WhatsApp groups.
A part of me would pay a certain premium to keep records of all the things I've purchased online in as many different places as possible, rather than providing one company with a fairly good profile of what my interests are.
Unfortunately, every country has prison colonies. USA has more than anyone, including abroad. You choose to believe 'Database Center for North Korean Human Rights' from which this article is sourced, that it seeks to publicize the truth and isn't funded by CIA. I believe otherwise, after comparing activities of human rights organizations in countries all over the world. It makes me quite sad that the human rights cause and genuinely well meaning people are used to further US imperialism.
I like writing fractals in logo.

Most people should not be writing __del__ methods at all, especially if what they are trying to do is deterministic cleanup.
GitHub Enterprise is even more expensive than what I quoted above. The quotes above are for private "team" repos under an "Organization" on Github (they host it all).
I didn't read that as anti-commercial, but rather as anti-humdrum.
There are hilariously terrible protocol designers out there, and too often nobody with taste manages to stop them. The EDI standards are often cited as examples of how much worse than XML it could get.

Thanks for your kind word; truly appreciate it.
Are the results different from just doing something like L1 regularization?
No way, that compression algorithm is amazing. But I also would like to understand how it works by someone explaining it really simply.

I mean it's doing significantly better than LZ. Anyone want to provide simple intuition on these algorithms and where they come from?
Definitely stronglift for beginners. Not sure about starting strength though. It has power cleans in the program, which takes a long time to get proficient, time that people could have just spent on the big 3 lifts.
What's the "Hello, World!" for an analog computer? Can you build it on a breadboard?

Asking while enrolled Electronics 102 at my local community college (diode and transistor circuits, not yet op-amps.)
I used to almost exclusively speak very quickly. I've been intentionally slowing down for years. A helpful exercise for this is to convert all of your words to their most simplistic synonyms when you speak with people, such that ever younger audiences can understand you.
Furthermore, I'm pretty sure a slow device would take longer to paint four separate images due to the overhead of having four of them.

Back in the old days of 2D game development, some games would use a technique called "dirty rectangles" to repaint selected areas of the screen that had changed. Windowing systems like X did/do something similar with "damage" or "expose" events (can't remember the exact name).

It's because the logic to handle many separate small rectangles is less expensive than the loop and memory bandwidth to paint one big one.
Whoa. My memory really had a hole in it.
It is a great example of a bigger open-source Meteor apps in a wild along-side with Telescope (http://www.telesc.pe/) which is also well documented and is extensible.
I haven't actually used Manta but I think in terms of computation model this comparison is fair. According to the docs: "Users express computation in terms of shell scripts, which can make use of any programs installed in the default compute environment." The problem I see with this is that it requires you to manage a global environment which can get difficult for large teams.

Duh. Everyone knows relationships take time effort and sacrifice to be successful.

The point is this service is being marketed for those who don't wish to be in a relationship for whatever reason but want to give the appearance of being in one to others. Perhaps they are semi closeted or asexual or don't have the time to devote to a significant other or simply just don't want to give up their autonomy yet (or ever).

If someone starts a relationship for the wrong reason - because they only want to be in a relationship, not because they are in love with the other person - it is not fair. The other person doesn't matter, anyone will do, feelings won't there. That isn't very nice to the other party and just leads to hurt.

This happens all the time. All the time. Especially with marriages.

Not everyone wants to be in a relationship (for whatever reason) and that is fine. That also isn't a very socially acceptable choice. This service is marketing to that segment.

It has nothing to do with laziness.
I can't use Trello at work because some of the data that would be placed there may have a restrictive information classification.

I'd love to be able to buy a different tier of Trello service instead of stickers, but an open source clone will do too!
Filth, pure filth.
The problem was not a few large objects, but large numbers of small objects eg thousands of orders per market. I considered using manual memory management but it would have required rewriting most of the code (it was almost all business logic). I sketched out a prototype in clojure to see whether a better GC would help and found that even with hastily written code and much abuse of persistent data structures, the G1 collector could keep the pauses under 100ms. I expect that carefully tuned code would reduce those much further.
I've tested the passphrase:

password password password password

and most of the online entropy checkers[1] says it's really safe to use such .. is this true?

Please correct the typo note for not; because this is most correct thing that can be said about Pikkety's work.

His conclusions are arguable, and can even be dismissed. But the data he collected and organized can and should be taken seriously and reworked. Yes, revised, treated with different assumptions in mind. But dismiss his whole work because he might be wrong on his final politic suggestions is a disservice to the science (no matter how small amount of science there is in Economics).

If you want to make Economics learn some things from hard sciences, you should take Piketty's data seriously.
The article mentions using this for your master password. Quote: "For logging in to websites and other servers, use a password database. [...] Then lock up all your passwords behind a master passphrase that you generate with Diceware."
It's a step in the right direction; it just isn't much of a step. Ultimately I think we need a fine-grained capability system, where every process runs in a sandbox which can only see the resources I choose to grant it. Access to the specific hosts ought to be resources... and I should be able to provide dummy resources so that recalcitrant apps which refuse to run without the ability to call home can be run in an environment equivalent to a "hellban".
As Nintendo supports Unity on the Wii U, this would have been a great project as a tutorial for indie Wii U devs.

Now though, I can't see this as being acceptable for Nintendo.
luckily the new regs don't allow you to invest 50% of your net worth.
> They've become militarized to an extreme degree, which is in turn either moving their rank-and-file more to the right

I'm not sure if I buy that this moves them to the right. It might make them more authoritarian, but that's separate from left/right politics.
One of the instructions not caught by the article asks that you write your name on the envelope else it won't be counted. Is that really the case? Alongside the new mailbox it looks like a way to track who has voted.
If this is possible, I know my breaker box has enough room, but is there any risk with all those cables with the 3.5mm end causing arcing?

How do you route them out of the box? Should the wires criss-cross? Bundle them?
For the most part I believe countries act in their our economic interest. If its banning products or services, spying or starting wars.

I don't really draw this out to an ethical debate... But if the everybody is playing dirty (Americans, Europeans, Chinese, etc) What do the country gain by following the rules?

Maybe I'm cynical, but I really don't think any country is capable of up holding up the standards. (Even the Israelis spy on the Americans and "we" are supposed to be best friends) All countries distribute humanitarian assistance, but we all know that increase influence.s
Usually people are referring to the Paris Climate Agreement in this context.
Kind of like with Bitcoin itself. Buying one satoshi gets you lifetime membership in the meme cult of mammon, but keep buying more and you might lose your shirt.
I wonder if brain damage/CTE has something to do with it.
That's not exactly true. A lot (low level) human labor will be made irrelevant, but AI tools will allow people to easily work productively at a higher level. Musicians will be able to hum out templates of music, then iteratively refine the result using natural language and gestures. Writers will be able to describe a plot, and iteratively refine the prose and writing style. Movie producers will be able to describe scenes then iteratively refine the angles, lighting, acting, cuts, etc. It will be a golden age for creativity, where there's an abundance of any sort of art or entertainment you'd like to consume, and the only problem is locating it in the sea of abundance.

The only issue I see here is that government will need to take a hand in mitigating capitalistic wealth inequality, and access to creative tools will need to be subsidized for low income individuals (assuming we can't bring the compute cost down a few orders of magnitude).
Yes, one huge challenge of P2P over the internet is piercing the NAT veil of ignorance. WebRTC hides this complexity, but I found it highly informative to read about how NAT traversal works even if I'll never touch this mess in my line of work -> https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/
Yup. I agree with you (and your pragmatic approach to helping the raptors!)
That's exactly what you would expect if a "low end disruption" is just getting started. The low-cost disruptor picks off some but not all of the market, and doesn't immediately compete for the most attractive customers (because that fight's too hard for them at the moment).

That's what puts the incumbent in an "innovator's dilemma": do you chase the high end and high margins, and if so which high-end niches do you chase (gamers who want graphics performance, design-lovers who want a precision machined marvel of industrial design) or do you go lower cost and high volume? The latter is a race to the bottom, so the incumbents tend to pick the former and retreat up-market. It's not unusual for the incumbent's profits to increase temporarily when this happens because of their focus on the most profitable customers.

The problem is it doesn't last: the low-cost producers who are already good enough for the low end of the market continue to improve, until they become good enough for the middle of the market too, and grab more and more market share and more and more profit share. And then, looking for even more growth, they head for the top end of the market (or get disrupted themselves).

Ironically, if there wasn't an up-market to retreat to, there would be no dilemma. Android and iOS would have to compete head to head for the same customers with the same requirements (rather than one taking all the budget consumers and the other taking the gamers and others with higher requirements).

As it is, we could be seeing a low-end disruption, and the high-end consumers will be the last to notice.
This is nonsense: "can’t regulate the speech of a corporation or its employees"

Entities have rights over how they are used in promotions, i.e., the right of publicity / personality rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights

Probably the majority don't. The poorer you are the less choices you have. If they can move its probably to another undesirable location. I doubt that those who live by power plants are wealthy.
There are plenty of ways you could be 'free' without owning a company.

Oh yeah, no doubt. That's the problem with engaging in too much reductionism in conversations like this. Human motivation is always more complex than just one or two things. I want to build a startup for other reasons than just financial independence, for sure. I guess the way I'd put it is:

"Founding a startup and growing a successful, profitable company seems - to me - to be the best path to satisfying a large number of my goals and ambitions and priorities, to an adequate degree, without compromising any of my fundamental principles".

Or think of it as an optimization problem... my calculations optimize the system of equations best by starting a company, based on what I know right now.
In Italy, I believe it used to be a crime to mismanage a company such that people lost their jobs.

On an unrelated note, Italy has never had a tech startup worth a billion dollars.
> No, emojis are incredibly expressive and enrich all forms of writing.

I certainly find many (almost all?) highly ambiguous, which is the total opposite of expressive in my opinion.

I'm aware I will sound "old man shouts at cloud" to some, but if you need emojis to express yourself, you are lacking language skills.
It's set in the 80's future. Just like this truck.
> I would define simplicity as "the approach that minimizes cognitive load while meeting all other objectives"

That's one dimension of simplicity, but it doesn't take into account some of the other benefits of simplicity, such as, eg: robustness. Another definition would be "the approach that minimizes the total number of possible interactions" (akin to "moving parts" in a physical machine). In that sense, the fewer total possible interactions, the fewer places something can break. There might be MORE cognitive load to a human in direct sense, but the system is far more constrained to only do the "right thing".

I sometimes think of the generalization of it being "the approach that minimises the total state space of the system, including the brain of the human trying to understand it".
> Handling large arbitrary JSON objects where I need to operate on their keys but don't need to work with their values by unmarshaling to map[string]interface{}.

If you just need the keys, you should unmarshal to `map[string]json.RawMessage` to avoid the overhead of parsing the values into objects only to throw them away without ever using them.
I wish I could use ON for the selection criteria for the first table instead of a where clause:

Select A.value, B.valuue

from tableA A
on A.id = 77

join tableB B
on B.id = A.bId
Work trucks are those plain white base model trucks with steel wheels and plastic interiors. You get them cheap and they will basically approve anyone for cheap financing of a few trucks through their business. Nobody is catering to those buyers when they design a truck. You look at those things on the lot and they look like one of the nicer trucks except only partially assembled.

The $50k trucks are basically for suburban dads. They used to drive luxury sedans while their wives drove minivans. Now the dads drive trucks that have replaced the minivan and the moms drive luxury SUVs. Trucks need to fit 6+ people, have nice interiors and enough space for hauling kids' sports gear and Home Depot stuff on the weekends. The Cybertruck is perfect for this segment. Fits 6 people, has plenty of hauling capacity and will take down a Ferrari in the 1/4 mile.
I can sell dollars for $0.90 each and have a tremendous amount of customers and growth.
Agreed, HN people are in the middle of the IQ spectrum.
I absolutely hate type detection in Excel. It's at least comparable to type coercion in Javascript, maybe even more capricious. I know the type thank you very much.
Nope, that looks awesome though thank you! My current work doesn't let us use g products
Attribution is one thing.

Right to legal remedy (read: lawsuit), far more powerful.
Perhaps they only understand "to which vehicle are you referring?" :)
I agree with this sentiment but I feel like the barrier for entry for another discount broker is rather low right? If RH gets bought I assume another startup will rise to fill that space now that the business model has been proven.
I agree. When I first heard of it, IFTTT was basically Pipes done right for me.

In many ways Pipes was far too ahead of its time. The Web simply did not have as much computation and reason for integrating data between different web apps at the time.
One reason the West is prosperous is we have the rule of law. This obviously doesn't free investors from all risks but it does reduce political risks, i.e. being arbitrarily dispossessed by the government is mostly not something you factor in. In poorer countries it does get factored in: people take less risk and demand a higher premium for doing so, since why bother if it's just going to get seized? This goes a decent part of the way to explaining why they are poorer countries.

A Georgist would counter that land is special in this regard: unlike investment in productive enterprise, we don't actually need investment in land to create wealth. I think it's an open question whether markets would actually buy this designation, or see it as open season on all kinds of property. The latter would be very, very bad!

The science does not support that. Your particular corner of the planet is not indicative of the world's changing climate:

Let’s stipulate for the purpose of this discussion that VRML is satisfactory, though IIRC it isn’t for various reasons. The real problem in the 90’s and today is that we haven’t figured out user interface hardware that people can/want to actually use for extended periods of time.

Even today, literally every player in this space thinks it’s going to be a head mounted display/goggles/glasses. Until someone produces 3D/holo displays that don’t require gadgets affixed to your head and body in one way or another, I think AR/VR is going to be a failure for general consumer use no matter how slick the underlying rendering technology.

Edited to add: something like Tilt5 where it’s very inexpensive and you aren’t expected to wear the device forever might be an exception.
The deployment story of the PHP tool in question is pretty good thanks to the semi-official Composer package management system (it hasn't been officially endorsed, but everybody uses it).

People just run `composer install --dev vimeo/psalm` and it works. It can also run on any web server that runs PHP, so I have it running on psalm.dev

OfC the Rust equivalent is very easy to package, and also runs reliably in the browser via WASM (currently ~1.5MB compressed).
That’s what I was hoping for! dall-e-nd-d

Why does the title have the 'i' in 4 MiB of RAM? That's 4 megabytes, right? Traditionally 4 MB?

What does the extra lowercase letter indicate? I'm not used to that, and I've been dealing with bytes from the kilo-size to the peta-size for 40 years.
One thing I learned in that internship is that 2D is way more useful for navigating most information than 3D environments. Only when the information itself is 3D it becomes more valuable, and even then a projection to 2D might give a better overview.

Games have done Metaverse like 3D multiplayer environments for years now, but always combined with gameplay or construction elements. I don’t really see the point of going to a 3D chat environment if there are no work/entertainment benefits in them that are clearly superior in 3D.
Perhaps the first book should be on historical mistakes to be avoided..

Part of the objection is Firefox has 122 dependencies, and some of those need Perl, some need Python, and some need both.

If developers are writing code (or build scripts) in the wrong languages, you can't fix that with a build system - you have to convince the people doing it to change their ways.

In a cathedral, hypothetically that could be an edict from the architect. In a bazaar, you find a soapbox to stand on and shout as loud as you can.
Just 10,000 visitors per day on a 64 core machine with 256GB of RAM? If were per minute (or even hour) it would make sense, otherwise, it seems poorly designed.

Doesn't matter how far I fold the screen back, the vents aren't blocked by it.
It's just a sample reason, nobody says it's the only use case. What if you run library computers or an internet cafe, and don't want customers browsing porn on your machines? (ethics be damned, they are your machines, you make the rules!)
Now it's legally possible to SaaS MinIO and sell S3 storage to customers.
You don't get the interest compounded though, this isn't a bank account, it's payment on a bond. You'd have to find other south sea bubble bond holders to sell you their bonds (which would only be done in whole units, you wouldn't be able to dribble in your 4% every year) to get the compound effect.

Basically you look at the interest paid over the whole issue yearly and linear sum it, not apply a compound interest calculation.
Would FSF really use a "dislike" button if it were available?

Good stuff. Compared to the more "popular" generic behaviours like gen_server, gen_fsm doesn't get a lot of attention. It's nice to see it added to your tutorial with this level of detail.
It's easier said than done, though.

No kidding!

Sometimes I think that the definition of success has less to do with intelligence, hard work, and breaks and more to do with finding a way to do that which is easier said than done.

Didn't mean to be negative in grandparent, just to take advantage of sharing some of the best advice I ever got. There's a lot to be said for making progress every day, no matter how hard it is.

Best wishes for your continued success!
