I think it's just one of those things that doesn't really make sense to anyone, but one way makes slightly more sense to some than others.

In reality there is no week end. The only periods that exist are days and years (and lunar cycles). Weeks are artificially constructed and it can begin and end whenever we want. I can see the sense in saying the week ends at the end of Sunday so the weekend is the bit before that. I can also see the sense in saying the week ends at the end of Saturday and the weekend is around that.
I like the images. Seems like something you'd see on those wall screens of the future.

Is there a business model for this, possibly subscription based in the future?

They have job postings:

"We're a small start-up with a big mission: to reduce stress and increase calm in an increasingly stressed-out world. We're just starting out, and we're looking for talented and driven folks to join us.

On offer is a competitive salary, meaningful equity, great benefits, holiday when you need it and the chance to make a real difference in people's lives. We're based in San Francisco's SOMA district and all roles are based here in our office."
This will help getting rid of the Maybe monad pattern in our code (at least partially) - all patterns are patches for missing language features. I cannot see any drawbacks personally. Would much rather prefer the 'object! paramName' not-null enforcement operator though, but it is tricky to make it backwards-compatible.
It could also mean they are going the Cloud 9 route (unlimited free public editing, limited free private projects) for the web version, which would essentialy be the same as their current subscription model, while still open-sourcing the editor itself.
I wonder what sort of government the mainlanders would elect if they were ever given the opportunity to do so.
Nice to see this much interest; sadly it's not clear what to do. Thanks bhickey for the pointers below to the VA AG and IRS.

I'll try to keep that blog post up to date. Today: PIR posted an official response -- low on content, no additional redeeming tidbits.

Tellingly, they do not once mention the word "endowment" or derisking [for ISOC]... which seemed like the one plausible argument in favor of this move: ISOC sacrificing the public registry for the rest of its mission.
Providers don't give out publicly routable /126. Generally most providers aren't going to give out anything longer than a /64 partially because they don't need to and partially because routing tables [0]. They want to route to you via a prefix that's pre-allocated to carve up for the region you're in.

Ok. I’m not a corporatists.
That's only a partial solution, rational thought has little to do with sexual selection. I don't think we can come up with anything better though.

Audiobus can do this, but each app needs to have support built in.
Don't forget a minor, but relevant, acquisition (Redis).
The power of unity is that you don't have to delve deeper, just start it up, make a script and start writing code. The weakness then is that all the components you code against are horribly bad/slow, so for a bigger game this approach wont scale, but if you are a programmer and just want to code a simple game unity can get you there in a weekend. First project I made in unity was a top down shooter with simple random map and powerups, took a weekend, I've tried using unreal but it is way harder to interface between code and assets and ui there.

Edit: My point here is that in unity you can easily write your own replacements since it is so easy to write new components in C#. This means you don't have to learn how unity did things, just write your own if you don't like what they did. The only exceptions here are physics and the renderer, you can't easily replace those.
All databases should offer an --i-am-a-dummy mode, and probably enable it by default in clients. It prevents you from running update or delete statements that don't have a where clause.

One self luminous exit sign contains about 0.00074 PBq of tritium. The Fukushima stored water contains about 0.76 PBq of tritium(as of 2018), enough for about 1027 signs. I suspect there is far more tritium in the exit signs in Tokyo then there is in the Fukushima water.

If you want to more than net out the radiation release from dumping this water, close one small coal plant.

Since then he has also written a lot more as well, for example http://martinfowler.com/tags/domain%20driven%20design.html .

While less a direct connection, folks who use DDD a lot also find CQRS (command query responsibility separation) a natural fit and are often seen being used together.
That's not the work of Communism, that's the work of a mad dictator using his power to change his government into an authoritarian sovereignty.

If it was actually communism, he would have never had that kind of power.
Actually the OP refers to Korean culture. Not the state.

Korea lacks 'freedom of speech' and 'free and fair elections' whilst the National Security Act is still on the law books.

It's not right therefore to refer to Korea as liberal democracy. It isn't.
How does it work in practice? I tried it about a year ago and it still stomped on /usr/local for some packages. If I remember correctly, that was due in part to the package not making it easy to install elsewhere, but Homebrew didn't handle it well.
Someone learning to play the piano (an unnatural task) needs to monitor their behavior and look for good habits to reinforce and bad habits to unlearn. But you do that during practice, not performance. By the time you're ready to perform, playing the right way should seem "natural" even though it's still a highly artificial task.

I think there's something like that here. Thinking rationally is an unnatural act and some folks are interested in figuring out how to better train for it. Maybe it's a bit of a weird hobby, but I'm happy there are people investigating it.

However, it's still early days for figuring out which training techniques are effective. This checklist is a sketch of bad habits to look for, but how best to use it isn't settled yet.

(There are places for checklists in production. They're useful in high-risk situations where error has to be eliminated. Pilots rely extensively on checklists, and they're starting to be used more in hospitals.)
"Unpaid overtime" in this context usually means no extra compensation, other than the 1-1 compensation if working less next week or next month. That is, a 50h week followed by a 30h week. Ordered overtime still has to be paid, but just at the normal rate. Having this in your contract isn't very good, and you should have at least 10-20% extra compensation. An extra week vacation isn't a good compensation for this, but it's common, sadly.
Agree that experience shows that it is possible to build successful projects in OO. But nobody have suggested otherwise. It might still be that some other paradigm might be better, e.g. the successful project might have been done faster and cheaper using a different method.

The existence of crappy programmers definitely does not suggest that all methodologies are equally good.
>> Any distortion of that market would have deleterious effects somewhere in the chain.

Regulation, collusion, and asymmetric information all seem to be "distortions" we're dealing with today; "The market pays what the market allows" seems to be an oversimplification as we're not operating in a free market.
> What I hear about more often in the United States economy than employed wage-earners not being paid overtime is employed wage-earners not being offered even full-time hours, because shorter hours remove a requirement to provide employee health insurance benefits for many employers.

As someone in the States, that arbitrary cut-off drives me nuts. I would much rather have scaled benefits, all derived from formulas.
I am very impressed with WA first cut at a web interface. The login is simply genius and the interface is clean and minimalist.

When revealing it to my friends in a Whatsapp group some where very curious and hesitant to know if the service is more vulnerable that it's now has a web service.

I initially assured them that is practically the same it being on any other platform, however I had some doubts myself.

Thought Id open it up to HN... IS whatsapp now more vulnerable with the new web interface?

Right - but let's say they get less dorky and more comfortable - and really do have the visual quality we really want - objects look solid and real.

That seems much more useful than a VR that you have to plug out of the real world and immerse yourself in - at least for collaboration with others on real world things... like the example with the motorbike design.
So..uhh...Where are the files stored? Is it a rebuilt of Syncthing? Are they stored on other users computers? Are they stored in the 'cloud'? Are they using OVH's public cloud? Or are they using OVH's hubiC ($1/TB)?
>In fact anything computers ever do is not real intelligence

No, he doesn't say that. On the contrary he names the principle ('Universality of Computation'; see paragraph 4) which guarantees that computers are capable of true intelligence, since, if programmed correctly, they can simulate the behaviour of any physical object, including human brains.

>there is some divine truth and wisdom that only humans possess.

He also explicitly repudiates supernatural explanations (see para immediately before the one mentioning John Searle).
Thanks for your kind feedback satysin. You are not the only one to request a preview ! I will add it when I have some time.

I will include maybe the Table of Contents and a couple of chapters.
No, they are not. Both are capital-intensive industries, so simplistic one-sentence remarks are not going to get any closer to an answer.
Are you familiar with the Brandenburg v. Ohio's "imminent lawless action" test? If not, I suggest a quick review of that case law.
The researcher's job is to properly do an experiment and document it in a paper. If we require more than this, then we will incur in damage to the scientific process for two reasons: (1) companies are not willing to make available software developed by their researchers, therefore they will publish even less; and (2) universities don't have money and staff to produce and maintain software at these standards, so professors will be required to publish less papers.
That's a fair point. I don't think it's likely that FB execs were waiting for the results of the Georgia runoffs to decide how to moderate Trump, but it's at least possible that they were. I don't think the same can be said for the certification of electoral votes.
And I am not complaining about it being downvoted. If HN doesn't want to hear it, then I am fine with that. Regardless, please check the comments guidelines[1].

Whenever you are in a space that is not your own, you have to read the room at least to some extent. If your views are against the general views held by the members of that space, you have to choose your words more carefully and present your opinions more diplomatically than if you were in your own space or a space that is at least more in agreement with you.

This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Not everyone is equally welcome everywhere. Different owners/moderators set different limits, often based on precious situations, which you may not be aware of.

Specifically the argument of doing things that a lot of people consider irresponsible, even if they are not disallowed, is a very sore subject with a lot of people during this pandemic. Authorities in a lot of countries have been way too lax in imposing lockdowns and restrictions, leading to much higher numbers of infected and dead than would otherwise have occurred in the same amount of time.

Odds are that the travel subreddit you mention has seen a lot of people arguing that if there is no travel ban, they should be free to travel wherever they want and however they want, which really rubs a lot of people the wrong way, especially those who have lost loved ones and consider such behavior highly irresponsible. Odds are also that the moderators previously made an announcement or even rule changes prohibiting those sorts of discussions, because of how they rile people up.

In the eyes of the moderator, you transgressed the rules of the subreddit, so they firmly showed you the door. I make no judgment on whether whatever you posted was morally reprehensible, what matters is that the proprietor of that particular space found it so.

Reddit is a collection of many little kingdoms. Some of them have kings that just don't like you, for whatever reason. That's their prerogative and there's nothing you can do about it, except maybe creating a rival subreddit that potentially becomes more popular.
This ended before landlines did - When I was growing up it was common that you only had one phone line connected (or only one period). Multiple handsets were handled by a base station which used some form of wireless transmission. If the handset hadn't been used to pick up a call, it wouldn't play back the signal (I'm sure given the time period, it was still being broadcast, and unsecured, but it was still a bit more involved to listen in than just picking up the other handset).
Platform providers like Google and Apple could tear down app walled gardens by simply saying "If your app has a significant chat component, it must make available this API to allow other apps to integrate with it".

Suddenly multi-billion dollar chat apps with big network effects are mere service providers... And since Google has failed so many times at producing a popular chat app, I'm surprised they haven't gone down this route...
I don't think there is any reason to exaggerate. People have a will and a right to protest against their perceived injustice at a state or federal level. A coup also usually involves the military and a taking of government by force, neither of which happened yesterday. If this were a coup then the BLM "protests" over the summer were also a coup, and they were causing significantly more damage to small business with destruction and looting.

You are being disingenuous if you label this as a "coup" regurgitating biased media talking points.
So what is the point of the web if people have to get permission to publish native apps to make money off their own content?
> It's helpful to know if you're hiring someone who rolls his eyes when asked to do something he thinks trivial.

I'd rather have someone who rolls their eyes at something trivial (then gets it done) than someone who appears to simply find any task engrossing and worthwhile.

If you don't find trivial and repeated tasks mundane and irritating, you're probably going to be a worker bee who spends more time acting as an automaton than thinking.
Please read the thread.
Someone might even write a Safari 5 extension which implements the reader functionality, and which is automatically updated whenever sites try to block it.

And Safari extensions loads automatically, so the user don't even have to hit the "reader" button.
Sourceforge itself is kind of an eyesore for all the projects hosted there, regardless of the design of their primary website.
Nobody uses Safari and a fraction of this nobody uses Readability (however apple brands it)

Are you sure about the exponential decay? My first guess would be something closer to inverse quadratic, but that's probably wrong.
Newspapers, magazines, cable television, DVDs, movies in the theatre, all of these you pay for and yet still see ads.

Why should a product just have one revenue model? If it weren't for advertising, these products would have to charge more to generate the same revenue.
I agree about the need to really strip out the bad stuff, not just deprecating.

Wrt removal of language features:
They seem to be in the process of cleaning up some there as well.
For example in 5.4 they removed safe mode, register globals, magic quotes (and those were really awful).
see: http://php.net/releases/5_4_0.php

I also agree that there is a lot of bad stuff still around.
Just recently passed Acid 1 https://twitter.com/metajack/status/371041675633647616
I think this is a very different scenario. In this case you have the option to not give up your personal information and walk away. If one particular grocery store is gaming you, you can go to a different store, or use an online store. If all of them are inflating prices unfairly, there are checks in place to make sure that doesn't happen.

In the case of internet and Google, we are being stripped of that basic choice. Google's browser, browser extensions, cdn, site analytics, dns, their prepackaged apps that are hard to uninstall on Android, all these are making it virtually impossible to walk away from that "loyalty program".

There may be people who like personalised advertising and I think they should have the choice to let Google and other internet companies scrape all the personal data they can from them in exchange for targeted ads. I'm not one of them. I want to surf the internet on my terms. I want to pay for the services I like to use like I do now for those that are available and uninstall apps from my devices without breaking warranty from my mobile manufacturer. I want that choice. After all, that's what life is about. If anyone says that we can't find that middle ground where people like me can browse the internet without personalised ads, then fuck personalised ads.
>It would be more useful if it was the otherway round i.e. there was a way to bring the project to the students.

Why do you think that?
I'm not a dentist, but I do know that bacteria feed on sugar and carbohydrates. There's some info that says refined carbs are just as bad as candy. If all you eat is meat, vegetables, and some fruit, you're probably not gonna get as many cavities as a refined grain-based diet with more refined sugar.
Wait, what's the point of having anti-'bad cop' laws if they're unenforceable in practice ?
It's starting to filter into actual treatments. I've been doing research in the field of host-microbiome interactions for the last 8-10 years. And in the last couple of years, it's gone from a fringe to a mainstream topic.

I know a few places in Europe where they are already doing fecal microbiome transplants on a daily basis. For example, Quadram Institute & NHS Norwich. They have had some adverse events, so it's not totally safe, but I think the benefits already outweigh the risks if it's having a significant impact on your quality of life.

New research avenues include, for example, doing a phage-only transplant. And obvious things like matching donors by HLA haplotypes. Both should improve safety.

Still, I understand progress is too slow for patients. Most research institutions are pretty bad at polishing, industrializing and translating basic theories into clinical benefits. They just like to churn out small papers. I have sometimes considered to spin off as a non-profit maybe to speed things up.

Theories are beginning to be understood quite well. It's mostly about cross-reactive bacterial epitopes and self antigens [1]. Plus metabolites. A very complex network, but some epitopes are central. For example, Ro60 in Lupus or insulin in T1D and their corresponding bacterial mimics. With sufficient data, we could easily throw in a personalized cocktail of phages that could halt many autoimmune disorders and tumors with high probability. That's the vision for the next 10 years, I think.

It checks every ~5 minutes. Ouch this looks like a bug. Looking into it.

edit: I think the amount you put in is less than the amount requested. You put in 0.01560016 LTC ($3.17 at $203 per LTC) and the project requested 0.0244 LTC ($5).
Well, at the very least Category Theory can help keep things organized. Let me quote Tom Leinster:

K-theory and K-homology have become indispensable tools in operator theory; there is even a bivariant functor 𝐾𝐾(−,−) from the category of C-algebras to the category of abelian groups relating the two constructions, and many deep theorems can be subsumed in the assertion that there is a category whose objects are C-algebras and whose morphism spaces are given by 𝐾𝐾(𝐴,𝐵). Cyclic homology and cohomology has also become extremely relevant to the interface between analysis and topology.
same here. i reread it every so often and marvel at how universally relevant it is.
Or a whiteyboard for a super-cheap, mobile solution.

The major reason my small ruralish home town has a brain/talent/youth drain is the lack of high quality jobs. I'm pushing to move to my partners small ruralish town now that we can work remote but her fear is the lack of like minded friends.

Wirth did "start to think about it": He developed Modula, Modula-2, Oberon, Oberon-2, Oberon-07.

It was not addressed in his Pascal versions because he moved on from Pascal, not because he didn't recognise that Pascal was too limited for many use-cases.
