I wouldn't say it's completely unfair. Using proprietary data/charging cables and changing the design every so often, obsoleting whole generations of products seems like behavior consistent with my criticism.
It's either a joke or a joke, made me laugh though :)
I guess it's a good thing Google is rolling SSL searches.
I'm reminded of the common argument that some proposed solution "works in theory", if only the practice could be sorted out. But the concept of things working or not working in theory is meaningless - whether something works or not is inherently a question of practice. Outside of execution, there is no way to assign value to a theoretical model.
Did you consider tokenizing the inputs and comparing those? Based on Levenshtein distance alone you're basically saying that "++" and "!=" are twice as important as "=" or "*", which doesn't seem right to me.

Next question: How are you picking (x,y) coordinates for the graph? You've explained how you determine the connectivity, but the positioning is a bit unclear -- edges with the same score often have quite different lengths.
Yes everyone here knows that. But it's not really the point is it? I mean I can also move my mouse out through the very narrow channel between the different segments of the annulus!

Instead I'm going to use a calendar that doesn't have all the drawbacks of flash, that integrates with existing calendar/pim apps, and that - bonus item - doesn't have a broken ui.

It's interesting to see how worthless an article becomes when some "small" details are missing - such as: What's this article all about?

> Programming, maths & science, etc. are acquired tastes. Not things you can enjoy from the get-go.

I dunno, I enjoyed all three from the get-go. Ballroom dance I suspected I would enjoy, but it took me a while to get to the point where it wasn't just work to do it (even though I enjoyed watching it.)

I know plenty of people for whom those things are flipped. I don't think "what you can enjoy from the get-go" and "what takes more time to learn you can enjoy" is constant from person to person.

"I'm not sure why learning English"

If you think that's mystifying, try having an economy only big enough for 100 million people, but actually have 127 million people, and describe the problem as they "feel" rejected (they ARE rejected, not "feel" it) and if only the victims would work a little harder, a job would magically appear (why?). Its a steaming pile of victim blaming.

Another interpretation is its a confusion of micro vs macro economics. Surely on an individual scale working harder and longer and learning more always benefits that one individual. But on a macro scale if the problem is ten jobs for fifteen grads, its inhumane to tell the five losers that the solution to societies problems is for those five, or all fifteen, to work harder. If they are dumb enough to actually work harder, the most likely outcome is next year they'll be only nine jobs for the fifteen grads, at which time we'll tell the six losers the solution to the societal problem is those six should have worked harder... leading to seven of them unemployed the next year, LOL. We do the same dumb thing in the USA with "go to college and get a great job". Well, jobs aren't magically created by the granting of a diploma, so you do the math on that. Send everyone to college and you merely end up with everyone deep in debt and lots of bartenders and receptionists with really cool sounding degrees.

You give Redis a yellow rating on prioritization, noting that this can be partially achieved using multiple lists. Wouldn't it be much better to take advantage of Redis's sorted set type?
In Quantum Mechanics, hidden variable theories are ones that reduce QM to a probabilistic (or even deterministic) theory that is local and causal.
Re [1], you will want the current revision of the proposed decision: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests... (which is the same confusion i tripped across, because wikipedia's arbitration structure is as byzantine and confusing as the rest of their governance structure).
I would very much like to laugh at Andy Tanenbaum and we all should. He deserves to be ridiculed because he was being an a-hole. He was putting down another programmer based on a theoretical mumbo jumbo when he could have proven his theories by actual programming.

I think it is obvious that any scientist that can prove his theories in a practical way must do that and should not flame and criticize another. In areas where theories are harder to prove like astrophysics, social science, economics, etc. I guess people can debate and flame. We are all used to economist flame wars by now.

But in areas where theories are practically provable, such criticisms are useless and idiotic. If Tanenbaum thought microkernels were so great he should have made a usable microkernel OS.

This also shows a very negative practice in the software industry which should be discouraged. And this is the criticism of the thing that is working now in favor of some new shiny project that is still in development but it will be all so great when it comes out. It is a very easy pitfall to get into, because the thing working now usually has some problems and disadvantages while the shiny new thing that does not exist yet is usually perfect in every way. But in practical matters, one usually does better going with the thing working now. But worst of all, this practice of worshiping the nonexistent solution is usually used to strike down newcomers and disruptors.

By the way, unikernels have absolutely nothing to do with microkernels. So, no the day of the microkernel has not arrived and there is no indication that it will come any time soon. Maybe there will be a practical working microkernel based os some day. I have no idea what will happen in a thousand years or ten thousand years. But if that happens it will be more of coincidence than evidence that Andy Tanenbaum is some kind of genius living in the future. If you have long enough time frame a lot of predictions about the future will eventually happen in one way or another.

Regardless, Linus never disputed the fact that microkernels are theoretically better. He just knew how impractical they were because he actually buckled down and did the work to make a useful OS instead of bloviating on theory.
This is a bit of the stretch. Philadelphia is a complex city with complex problems and its police department reflects this. It has plenty of problems but it also has a lot of cops who care.

Shoot, somebody tell the exchange services that keep shutting down because they lost gazillions of coins that this was a solved problem.
When I lived in Miami in the late 80s/early 90s there was a story about how the main courthouse in Dade County had to clean up various parts of chickens, goats, etc. most mornings from around the property. Allegedly, these were sacrifices from practitioners of various Afro-Caribbean religions (just like the article says) seeking to influence ongoing court cases.

It sounds a bit crazy, but at that time there were fairly frequent stories in the news about Santeria, etc. followers being arrested for sacrificing goats in their backyard and so on.

I stepped into an elevator in an office building once and there was a (live) rooster in it...
I might be way off here, but does PyPy-STM works at all with the new stdlib asyncio?

I mean, the whole purpose of asyncio is running non-blocking I/O in a single thread and delegate blocking CPU-bound executions to other threads (with the run_in_executor method), but it would be awesome to share the asyncio loop event between multiple threads. I don't know if this is possible though.
Hasn't Japan been printing tremendous amounts of money to try and prevent it, with no end in sight? At what point does that get discredited?
Thanks. I just tried a few at random (Adding Persons to Groups, Displaying Hierarchical Data, and Displaying an Image for the Title of the Navigation Bar). Xcode complained about "Missing SDK in target" because I only have SDK 4.3, but they all built fine nonetheless. I didn't find any that had a problem finding a framework.

I'm assuming you installed Xcode into the standard location, /Developer, right? Let me know the name of at least one project that's messed up so I can duplicate your problem on my computer.

Thanks,

Brian
Running multiple languages (each with it's own strengths) on platforms that natively support only a few languages. e.x. GWT, CoffeeScript.

While this may be a valid arguement for some - I just can't accept it - if you are targeting a specific platform you really should (completely imho) use the tools meant for it. Anything else will easily lead to issues that may not be debug-able if you aren't already familiar with your target.

Enhancing an existing language. e.x. Objective-J, Stratified JavaScript.

Both of these enhance an existing language by creating a interpreted scripting language that gets compiled down by the original language. I wouldn't classify these as a source-to-source compiler imho.

Performance. e.x. HipHop for PHP.

HipHop is indeed a good example and I stand corrected there. The slight difference is that this is specifically targetted at creating highly optimized C++ to be compiled for quicker execution. In a Ruby-to-PHP example it's certainly not going to add performance gain and is a silly idea - but as I said, I didn't think about a valid execution like HipHop in my initial blanket statement.

Quickly building new languages. Objective-C (and I think C++?) was originally just a preprocessor for C.

I didn't even think about preprocessors and they are indeed another valid implementation for source-to-source compilation.

My original statement was a bit too quickly posted - thanks for the correction!
Not to be snarky, but I won't read anything by this guy. Back in the 90s when I subscribed to Forbes magazine he had a column for a couple of years, and he consistently wrote the most content-free columns I've ever tried to read. It's a tribute to something not-very-good that he makes a living as a pundit.
Unfortunately, it isn't really possible to understand CoffeeScript without understanding JavaScript, so it's not a very good choice of first language. JavaScript is. So, the book assumes at least a beginner-level understanding of JavaScript.
Unfortunately, XML still prevails in XCode config and xib files. Modifying them makes for a completely polluted diff in your commit. Makes me rage.
Or to look at it another way:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as = 0 + 2 x 9.81 x 2,000 = 39,000

KE = 0.5mv^2 = 0.5 * 300 * 39,000 = 6MJ

I.e. about 1kg of TNT. "Crush"?? I'm with you on this one, mmaunder
From what I understand you file a counter notice, then in 14 days Facebook is on the hook.

From ChillingEffects.org the service provider is then required to restore the material Not sure how forceful required is.
I bought a license over 2 years ago, I don't recall any such limitation back then.

Here's hoping this isn't retroactive.
Full Disclosure: I'm the founder of Makemake.io.

You could use an online website creation tool. There are several robust solutions available including Weebly, Squarespace, and Wix. There are many integrations and add-ons available that target small businesses. It does cost a bit more than running a cheap hosting plan on Wordpress, but you do get support and it requires no technical expertise at all to get started.

If you have only static content and want to create an animated brochure-ware site, I would ask you to consider looking at Makemake.io. It features a simple drag-and-drop editor with no coding required.

If you need to integrate database driven features (contact forms, a shopping cart, etc), I would definitely investigate one of the former options. It just depends on your requirements.
Aye...I'll leave unsaid how one of our goats ended up in our attic. She had a much easier time getting around up there than I did while trying to catch her.
Big companies create a lot of projects, some of them are bound to be in Java.
I in no way intended to state Java was the only language for business applications.
In particular, the Apache License 2.0 is the most appealing license for "commercial-friendly" open source, whereas the GPL with its "developer-friendly" license correlates highly with FSF-hosted, Gnome/KDE/... or independent projects.

The Java/C(++)? divide also seems to correlate with "commercial-friendly" (Hadoop, Lucene) versus "developer-friendly" (Blender, Linux) software.
I think this is especially important for programmers. While learning a new technology (or programming in general), many get trapped in an endless consumption cycle - there are enough books and blogs to fill many lifetimes of reading for any semi-popular topic. It's extremely important to balance consumption with a healthy amount of creation (practice). Otherwise it's really hard to gain real knowledge.
More or less still like the first generation of it?
It's defiantly got a Cylon vibe going on...
The point of using a commercial VPN is that you can share an endpoint with multiple users. Thus "blending in" with the crowd. If you choose to use a VPN endpoint that only you use, you lose all privacy benefits except the one against your ISP.
I'm guessing that the lighting might be doing something to how it appears to be moving.

There's something flat, and in a very weird way, about the people in the composite videos.

Other than the lighting, resolution might be an issue - but we've been dealing with low res video for years - and it generally doesn't trigger the uncanny valley ticks.
it's all 1s and 0s. there is no post

That's what the ballot box is for. You can.

Isn't the optimizer fooled by some inadequately set parameter, for example "effective_cache_size"?

The planner may be fooled due to a too small data sample, you may try:
ALTER TABLE table_name ALTER COLUMN column_name SET STATISTICS 10000;

Can't you use the autovacuumer in order to kick an ANALYZE whenever there is a risk of data distribution shift?
ALTER TABLE table_name autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor=X,
autovacuum_analyze_threshold=Y;
I don't know but I never gave my phone number to Facebook (but I also never used the app, only the website).

Ethics? Morals? That is what we would expect from "delete my account".
Which is exactly what they did, and is how we ended up here.

Yes the game is afoot. Everyone is hedging. I’ve lived in the city for 12 years now and even in that short time I’ve watched it change. The value of these company’s stonks have sky rocketed and that translates in to people on the ground and buildings in the air, in my city as well as others. We know what Amazon did to the Seattle real-estate markets and the culture. Well they (FAANG) did it to NYC too. There were other biggggg problems before but this feels like people are upset, maybe as you point out at the wrong target.

A ridiculous amount of the apartments go unoccupied because they are someone’s pietaterre or just an investment asset. That to me is insulting and am a little bitter that they benefit, cause rent prices to sky rocket and yet don’t even live here and barely visit.

I have watched the culture; food, art and music scene die here as the rich buy convert and transform everything in to their playground; Hudson Yard, and Avenue of the worlds school where tuition for kindergarten is $60,000. The restaurants are worse yet more pretentious and more expensive than ever. Many business store fronts go unoccupied, because the asking price is too high yet the landlords never drop the rent, because they don’t have to. The building is an investment asset. So premium storefront goes unused and papered over for years and in some cases, decades.

The rich maybe aren’t the problem but they seem to be causing a lot of problems...

Edit: to be clear, I live in one of the neighborhoods that is actively being “gentrified” after it was already gentrified in the 90s so I have a front row view to all this development.
Actually, It was very well coordinated between federal agencies and local police departments:

I think you got it backwards:
Why is it okay for manufacturers to lock phones from us? It cant be because they are enormous metal machines that could easily get into an accident and kill its passengers, yet a locked phone is still more or less the only option.

Now the cars are enormous metal machines that could easily get into an accident and kill its passengers, yet, until recently, were "open" to any and all modifications by anyone. And it didnt affect their safety.

The point is, locking cars isnt happening for our safety, its happening to increase profits. But people dont like to hear it, so the pitch is safety.

By this tempo soon the bananas will be legal to be peeled only by certified servicemans, because wrong disposal of the peel may cause injury to a person.
I know exactly what you mean, there's only so many times you can append "New" on the end of a contact name!

A good chunk of people will probably communicate mostly on platforms like WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/whatever that don't need numbers at all or facilitate switching of numbers without your contacts having to do anything. I don't think that will constitute anywhere near the majority of people across the world though, switching numbers will definitely be a pain for most.
I can use skype but I cannot go on the web. Strange

Memes kill my experience on so many other websites, that’s why I will downvote every comment which makes reference to a meme. (Other meaningful content might save the comment sometimes.) Others seem to agree which is why those kinds of comments always get downvoted quickly.

All the other stuff – sarcasm, jokes – is not always downvoted, it sometimes even receives a lot of upvotes. Don’t expect every joke to be upvoted, even if it’s a witty one. I guess it is consensus that we don’t want to see HN flooded with jokes and sarcasm.
It'd be funnier if they weren't originally associated with building 37 Signals' offices. It'd be hard not to become a fan of 37signals if you were responsible for building out their entire place.

Like seeing a C-list celebrity in person and shaking their hand - odds are, the next time you see one of their movies, you'll have a special place in your heart for what they do, even if it, previously, was of no interest to you.
I don't understand how this transfers through though.

Hypothetical Bob distrusts the medical industry and science, but then tKes fish oik supplements for heart health. Science tells us that fish oil has no benefit over placebo for heart health, and supplements are produced huge mega businesses who are out to make profit.

I know I am subject to my own biases, and I'm using an example where I am aware of my biases. But still, I don't get it.

As I posted last time this came up here:

This is a billing question, not a technical question, and looked at through that lens it's easy to put a hard limit on a monthly bill: just don't ever issue bills greater than that amount.
If I say I only want to pay a maximum of $1000 a month, and I hit that limit but it takes a bit for the provider to shut everything down so really $1100 of resources were consumed, then the provider eats the $100 overrun and I get a bill for $1000.

With an actual hard limit you create a financial incentive for the provider to minimize this overrun. Yes it might be difficult to fix but I assure you, if hard limits existed, the technical issues would be solved soon enough because now there's a reason to invest in a solution.
>Then you have to still subtract the days you are going to be sick (Google says 18.4 days on average per year)

What? Do I understand correctly that "Google says" and you find credible that on average a person takes 18.4 sick days every year? That sounds high by at least an order of magnitude to me. Even if I took a day off every time I had a slight sore throat or a moderate hangover, I still wouldn't take more than 3-4 sick days a year most years.
Similar experience. Class action?
