I would just say, "The action scene was a bit over the top." If the person hears that and thinks I didn't like the movie, that's their mistake. Your first phrase still leaves the door open for you not liking the movie and it adds no clarifying information.
Piracy is not theft because, who pirates and don't have money to buy software, is not affecting the sofware developer's finances negatively. Who pirates is even helping to disseminate and to popularize such pirated products.

Piracy is theft because, on the capitalist system there are implicit and explicit rules that imply on exchange of products and services, being money the document that proves the provision of such services and products. If someone wants a product (software in this case) of complex and hard work, then this person have, before anything, work to obtain proves (money) that the society
received due contribution.
In a legal sense piracy is theft if the law in a particular jurisdiction defines it as such. My personal opinion is that it is not useful to talk of theft when the owner of a good can still use or sell that good after it was stolen.
Redirects to http://www.businessinsider.com/google-engineer-gets-6-millio..., which is a few paragraphs of filler around information taken from the actual source: http://networkeffect.allthingsd.com/20101119/the-landscape-a...
The reason it won't converge is that a very large number of the points will ALWAYS lie off of the line. While you might be able to make something that looks like a line on a computer screen when you make it smaller and smaller segments of manhattan distance. it will in fact only ever be able to intersect the real line (they are infinitely thin remember) at N+1 points at most (where N is the number of turns you make when following it along the grid in manhattan distance). because of this you will always have a very large portion of your approximation lying off of the line.
While I understand something like real backups would have helped this guy, to someone not intimate with the technology, Live Mesh looks like something that replicates your files on many places, something that sounds similar to backups.

I keep my important stuff versioned on subversion, running off a ZFS RAID-Z with weekly snapshots and daily diffs shipped to a different machine on a different site. If something goes wrong with the backups, I get texted in minutes.

I hope to be able to migrate that to BtrFS someday. Will take some work.
someone has to leap in saying "This stuff is old hat. Everyone has heard of this before. I thought of it myself back in 1843."

Aside from the last part of that, I have some sympathy for people who make such comments. Often ideas are presented as "new" which are covered in any basic undergraduate textbook in the field; if someone working in the field isn't aware of these ideas, it simply means that they didn't do their homework.

There's a place for brilliant new ideas, but it generally comes after reading a book (or doing a google search) to check if a problem has already been analyzed to death.
But that's LA/California right? Thousands is not millions, and California is not the US.
Do you know how gotty compares to shellinabox? I use the latter when I cannot use SSH.

There is WeTTY, too, that is based on xterm.js, which seems interesting. This one is listed in the readme of Gotty.
If minimum wage becomes a living wage then there are more people capable of accepting jobs that are needed and more difficult to automate - for instance, caregivers.

Besides longer blocktimes (2.5 minutes v.s. 1 minute), a higher inflation rate (7% v.s. ~4.5%), and a different hashing algorithm (SHA-256 v.s. Scrypt), how does Bitflate compare with Dogecoin? What aspects of Dogecoin made you decide to start your own project instead of working with an existing community that revolves around an inflationary cryprocurrency? I don't hold any Dogecoins, nor have I ever been a part of that community, they just seem like the primary example of an inflationary cryptocurrency to me and I'm trying to understand what makes your project different than the incumbent in that space, or if there's enough distinction that you don't see yourself as even being in competition with Dogecoin.
C++ is a poor fit for this. Proper high-level HDLs are better to understand and work with. Mentioned in the neighbor commment Clash[1], Chisel[2]/FIRRTL[3], Hardcaml[4], Spatial[5], various Python-based languages, there many[6].

This is not a universal law of the world. There are times when using a common technology is better.

In this specific case why is "competition good" and who cares about boring when it comes to developer's productivity. Being able to code against one browser and being certain that it works properly in all browsers would be a tremendously wonderful thing for everyone.

To sacrifice that ideal vision so that things aren't "boring" doesn't seem worth it to put it kindly.
From sysop standpoint there is a huge difference:

1) for user: less chance (pun intended) to actually change the file when all you wanted was to read it

2) for sysadmin: if sysadmin sees "less somefile.log" in bash history, he knows the user just read the log. If he sees "vi somefile.log" then he doesn't know if the user has also changed the log file (maybe not even knowing it).

The assumption is that you deal with non-malicious users who just make mistakes (which is often the case).
I'd just focus on the publishing aspect. As bad as it sounds, 90% of companies aren't concerned with the social responsibility side of things. Even convincing Non Profits to take on a new platform will be like pulling teeth.

And it's not clear why your product solves anything to do with social responsibility in particular. It just appears to be a nice publishing/marketing platform. What features are specific to social responsibility?
I think it's good to stimulate a healthy way to go to work (free exercise). Living in Amsterdam I'm getting 1 hour of exercise every day going to and from work. Also as cities get more crowded, bikers tend to take up less space and being less dominant in traffic.
Actually, that would be interesting...

Passing some sort of funding bill for the defense of US companies against DDoS attacks might be the only immediate option that could be done on a short time frame. Otherwise, it could (potentially) be something like the government holding on to spare capacity in some way/shape/form that it leases to affected companies for a very low rate.

As we move on further into the 21st century, I can't see this as something that's going to go away. We definitely need to plan ahead.
What about the thing you have built is uniquely targeted to social responsibility versus general purpose publishing?

Whatever the answer is to that question, it should be on your home page.
You should try tea as caffeine source.
Hi Bemmu, I found something similar on PH some time ago (japancrate.com), although is seems more recent, do you know them? How common are these 'subscription box' services (I had no idea this was a thing)? Do you have more subscriptions in Europe or the US?
captive portals don't work with VPNs. A captive portal is simply a redirect to a login page for the purpose of authorizing a device to use a network. No VPN will work until the device has had a chance to open a web browser and pass through the captive portal. Once the device is approved to pass traffic through the network, the captive portal no longer plays any role.

what gogo did was make some very poor decisions regarding proxying. in which case, yes, VPN can circumvent that.
I'd love to see those responses correlated against subjects studied, and qualification(s) achieved.
Death threats are the new background radiation of the internet. Too many parts of the subculture accept negative hyperbole; people accustom themselves to torrents of abuse as regular communication in a dark corner, then step out and apply that to other situations.
The LightSail website has a nice comprehensive overview of how the technology works. Well worth a read: http://www.lightsail.com/

Particularly impressive: 90% thermal efficiency.

And some people might feel all of that is not GitHub's job. Maybe because they like the tools that are familiar to their technology stack, for better or worse. And maybe GitHub doesn't feel like stepping into that minefield?
I think you need compassionate teachers and functionaries who are capable of bending rules when appropriate, and rules that allow for such bending.

And, I guess, everyone else not trying to take advantage of such a system.
You just triggered a thought:

Reddit originally had that goal. And was self-sustaining, basically funded by users. This has all changed, and that's all I want to make for a point here. (why is another discussion)

HN isn't self-sustaining that I know of, though it's also not needing to make it's users into products too.

So, is there a middle ground?

Take the HN code base, clone it, and enable these discussion norms?

We have amazing moderators here. Wise.

That's needed too, or the outcome is something we will see elsewhere, and that's by definition, not what we have here.

How to fund that?

Need hosting, moderator or two, and what else?

Maybe not too much. So maybe it won't take that much money either.

I would find any experiment along these lines both something I would want to participate in as well as very interesting to observe, depending on my role, and the nature of the discussion focus.
> “Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”;

This is true, antiracism is active in the presence of racism, “not racist” may or may not be.

> it’s a Marxist ideology

No, it's not. I suppose if you met “Marxist” metaphorically in that, like Marxism, it posits the existence of a status quo struggle, and calls for consciousness of that struggle and activity within it rather than indifference to it or denial of it, it would be accurate, but that's kind of a weak basis for such an emotionally-loaded metaphor.

> purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes.

Antiracism does not call for “purposeful systemic racism” for any purpose.
The why is access to additional capital.
I find that storing ZonedDateTime in your database as a UTC epochTime (long or int datatype depending on precision required) handles the use case where you need to store a precise moment in time, and is guaranteed to work across DB implementations.
You’re not far off. The Snapdragon is monitored by some more radiation tolerant hardware (FPGA if I recall correctly).

Great talk about it from the FSW Workshop in 2019.

Lol. That's hilarious. My puns get me in trouble :)
It's also an indicator of wealth.

Not a single firearm? https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/17/politics/capitol-insurrection...

However, I'm not sure where you got the "opinion" that an insurrection must be carried out with a firearm? You can do a quick Google search for the definition of the term. Here's one from the Cambridge dictionary

> an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and take control of their country, usually by violence

5 days ago, not sure how I missed this one before.

So a few points on this:

1. Depends how you define overpopulation. Can we still feed all of us? Yes. Do we? No, because while we can easily grow enough food, 50% more than our current population at least, people still starve, just not due to lack of food in the world. I think when we get to the point that we’re seeing a mass die-off of humans because of resource exhaustion, you can start calling us overpopulated. This is not to discount the possibility that we may become overpopulated, but I don’t think we know where that threshold actually is yet.

2. That said, population does tend to level off once the people of a country are well off enough, and so some countries are facing population contractions. Even within countries which are technically growing, subsets of their populations have leveled off and part of the difference is being made up in immigration. We may never actually reach overpopulation if that trend continues.

3. This is the part I hate when discussing population concerns. Let’s throw away my arguments above that we are probably not overpopulated, and suppose you are right. Then what? Genocide? Eugenics? Voluntary societal suicide either directly or by mass scale vasectomy? Just do nothing until something gives?

Acceptance of the idea that there are too many people leads you down to a much more uncomfortable conversation.

Also: all of this is off-topic. San Francisco could support plenty more people. Both California and the United States grow enough food to be net exporters, and California specializes in cash crops. Doing so would require upzoning. Upzoning would lead to neighborhood change, and that’s really the thing San Franciscans are fighting against. Every single time the Earth’s population vs carrying capacity is brought up in the context of San Francisco’s seeming inability to build more homes, it is a distraction.

We could, but we make it as difficult and expensive as we can to keep people out because San Franciscans taken as a whole don’t like outsiders and don’t like change. We’re not the only populace or locality that doesn’t like these things, but we are some of the whiniest and most hypocritical.
Do you have the study reference?
In the mid 80s, my high school used a similar setup on a TRS-80 with I think 8 serial terminals for their COBOL classes, replacing a Burroughs minicomputer with an actual cardpunch and card reader.
It was cool hitting college already knowing vi, a shell, and how to write crap to other student's ttys.
To anyone who wishes to get a feel for the country, I would highly recommend watching anything by Abbas Kiarostami or Asghar Farhadi. Some are a bit new-wave-ish, but The White Balloon is very approachable and family friendly. And each film often has little nice touches that reveal aspects of the culture, and characters and writing with plenty of depth.
Every hobby could be seen as a mindless addiction. Heck, talking to friends in person is much the same - people fall into the same conversation patterns, have the same arguments and reminiscences over and over, miss them if they're not having them even if they don't really take pleasure in them at the time. At some point Facebook is just life.
At least they didn't start using the acronym "DASD" until the following year.
I am really a huge fan of esbuild. I know evanw is working on implementing css module support that has the same tree shaking ability as the js bits. This means the bundler only ships the css that is actually used.

I feel tailwind is somewhat going down that path, but I wonder if this is a problem that a bundler can solve.

I use tailwind with tsx react components and it seems the tailwind just-in-time mode won't work with that.
It’s the same with all medicine. Pain medication, antibiotics and so on. Doctors try stuff until something works. You may have overly positive views of science if you don’t think it’s being made up as we go. The body/mind split is artificial too.
...but are not techie enough to want to set up PGP themselves. Therefore usability should be a concern.
They sure do seem to be investing a lot in viral advertising though.
The estimates I've seen mostly suggest damages in the range of 0.5-10% of GDP https://www.brookings.edu/research/ten-facts-about-the-econo...

Here's a quote from the IPCC consensus report: "For most economic sectors, the impact of climate change will be small relative to the impacts of other drivers (medium evidence, high agreement). Changes in population, age, income, technology, relative prices, lifestyle, regulation, governance, and many other aspects of socioeconomic development will have an impact on the supply and demand of economic goods and services that is large relative to the impact of climate change." https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/WGIIAR5-Chap...

Another IPCC quote:
"Under the no-policy baseline scenario, temperature rises by 3.66°C by 2100, resulting in a global gross domestic product (GDP) loss of 2.6% (5–95% percentile range 0.5–8.2%), compared with 0.3% (0.1–0.5%) by 2100 under the 1.5°C scenario and 0.5% (0.1–1.0%) in the 2°C scenario."

he also has a %70 premine of this coin with his buddies. Eth also have a dynamic issuance schedule exactly like USD, EUR or any other fiat. Except instead of a Central Bank, a few devs decide it.
Ramanujan died in 1920. If anything, I'd rather they self-named rather than besmirch Ramanujan's name in this way.
I mean, it is great to see people get into security stuff and build chat stuff. But I have some points on your "philisophy".

You hate big billion dollar Companies? Well, your domain is hosted on AWS so are the servers. To prrof your point, you should've got the domain somewhere else and host the serveres somewhere else. Additionally, how is the weather in Middlesex, GB?

Now to the software side. Man is that repo a mess. I mean, you put a lot of work into the documents which is great, but until you find the damn source code of the actual important shit it takes years. (if anyone interested it is this billion character long mess: https://github.com/ba9f11ecc3497d9993b933fdc2bd61e5/temporar...).

What am I trying to say here? Great to see people starting coding. But split the project up or at least order it. The source of the server should be on click on `src` and done. Maybe extract the client to another repo. Hide the whole deployment stuff in another folder. We people who click the link to github want to see code. Not configuration stuff. First look matters.

And, if you want to be so "security hacker like nobody knows", create fancy profile picture with no face. Get a decent username no hash gabage. Hide your WhoIs Information from the domain. If you care about security and "not being dependent on multi billion dollar companies that collect all our data", don't use AWS. Go to a decent server hosting n your country (or where privacy matters).

Did this wake my interest? Yes.
Got I disapointed? Yeah.
Did I got disappointed way more than I thought? Definitely.
Would I trust this app even if the source code would be readable in any way? No because security is expert stuff. That's why we have Matrix, Signal, Threema (which is open-source now too).
Is this a little harsh? Yes, but this is the Internet.
Do I want you to re-make the project in a more professional way? Yes, because that is the best pratice to become a better developer.

Sorry for the hard comment. I hope you take it as an motivation. Always fall to learn, always come back stronger.
Alas, RTVE no longer lets you watch Ministerio Del Tiempo episodes for free (sort of like a Spanish Dr. Who time travel show).
Not the Nintendo Switch at least.
Another person who think the internet is available everywhere.
For both technical and UX reasons it's in Apple's interest to make app updates lightweight, and those likely far outweigh any driving force they might have to encourage people to move to higher storage sizes.

(1) if it takes a long time for people to update their apps, that's a crap experience that people are having on Apple devices, which goes directly against the grain of Apple's whole value proposition ("use our stuff and your life will be great!")

(2) For technical reasons, it's in Apple's interest to reduce app image sizes; less strain on infrastructure, easier to scale, etc. (300MB * 1.2M (# of app store reviews) = 360 terabytes transiting their networks whenever Uber pushes an update. All that has to be load balanced, CDN'd, etc.)
Amazon would happily make multiple accounts with the same email. I've managed this twice. Unwinding it is somewhat complex.

Yes it is dangerous, they are at times unresponsive, visibility can be obscured depending on daylight.
Travelling at 60mph you move 45 meters or yards in one second.
Would you run full steam ahead 45 yards in a tight jungle?

I will give it a pass.
I don't think the article makes this clear but animators are the people who are responsible to create the frames between key frames designed by the actual designers. This also means that the person described in the article is competing with studios in China and other asian countries that do the same work for very cheap prices because they have access to cheap labor.
"The battery invented 120 years before its time" I'm not sure what this article is trying to prove, the Nickel–iron battery has done its 120 years service already and it's questionable if it has a future life except in limited applications where ruggedness is needed as it's electrical capacity it's pretty terrible—as so much bulk battery material is needed for so little storage capacity and there are likely better ways of producing hydrogen.

We need to put this into perspective the Nickel–iron battery has one great feature and one good feature and the rest are rather doubtful by today's standards.

Their great feature is their longevity. I can recall a short but memorable news article about nickel–iron batteries of some decades ago in an electronics magazine, which I thought was in Electronics/Wireless World (but I can't find it in the index). It was a report that the Nickel–iron batteries in a London telephone exchange that were ≈80 years old had been removed from service not because they needed replacing but because they were surplus to requirements when new equipment was installed. What was memorable was that they were still working after 80 or so years after installation. The only maintenance that was needed was to replace the electrolyte (potassium hydroxide) every decade or so.

The good feature of Nickel-Iron batteries is that they're reasonably ecologically sound (but even this is a little doubtful given their very low capacity—meaning more batteries are need for a given storage capacity). Frankly, they're pretty woeful when it comes to output capacity. Below are some Wiki extracts that compare nickel-iron, lead-acid and lithium iron batteries:

NiFe/Nickel-Iron:

Specific energy 19-25 Wh/kg

Energy density 30 Wh/l

Specific power 100 W/kg

Charge/discharge efficiency <65%

-

Lead–acid:

Specific energy 35–40 Wh/kg

Energy density 80–90 Wh/L

Specific power 180 W/kg

Charge/discharge efficiency 50–95%

-

Lithium-ion:

Specific energy 100–265 Wh/kg (0.36–0.875 MJ/kg)

Energy density 250–693 Wh/L (0.90–2.43 MJ/L)

Specific power ~250 – ~340 W/kg

Charge/discharge efficiency 80–90%
Interesting that the AI understands sunglasses but still "blinks" them like eyes.
To answer my own question. It appears that short interest went from 120% back when the first spike hit to around 40% now.
When I bought my VW GTI, there was one model above the base, the "Wolfsberg Edition", that didn't have a screen. The controls were straightforward and tactile.

I checked recently and that option's gone, which made me a little sad as I wrestled with having to restart CarPlay in our other vehicle to get it to talk to my iPhone.
You can, by hoisting it up as a calculated column and indexing on that. We have support for sparse indexes as well.
Obviously not. I do, of course, disagree with your reduction of prototypal OO to "looking up missing keys in another map".

That said, I do need to clarify. I was talking about implementing classical inheritance with prototypal inheritance, and implementing prototypal inheritance with classical inheritance. You can implement either using base language features if you want to create a new object system, but that's not what I was referring to.
