The author of this site was on the No Dumb Questions podcast earlier this month, and gives a great background of the site. Well worth a listen.
Here's a PocketCast link for anyone interested.

I think meaningless is a little strong. We talk about CO2 emissions, even though the air contains CO2. My understanding would be more radioactive than ambient radiation, or something along those lines.

I do agree that seeing some actual numbers would be helpful (eg: types and amount (estimated) of isotopes).
Does it provide some local or online multiplayer functionalities?
The reason we have a high standard for criminal convictions is that your liberty or life can be taken away by the state, and the cost of a mistake is therefore high.

Here we are talking about... the inability to show yourself playing video games to others.
If you're in the UK or Europe (AFAIK, this applies to Europe too), by law, any company has to seriously consider requests for flexible working (e.g. part-time hours). I simply asked, and they said "yeah, OK". Obviously working 20% less hours means 20% less pay and holidays.

I work for an out-sourcing and consulting mega-corp - I get to work on interesting projects, but and honestly, it's a horrible company to work for in terms of culture, power struggles, biases, bureaucracy and lay-offs. I plan on getting out soon, going full-time on my side business. As such, I'd never recommend them to anyone.
There's no bright line between a wheelbarrow and a bulk freighter but even Hellen Keller could tell you they're very different.
To have either weak_ptr or shared_ptr& you need to have a shared_ptr to begin with. Unless you actively want shared ownership, there's little reason to use shared_ptr.
Hey, I saw one of your past comments where you mentioned being (briefly) active in the bookz scene in the past.

I really want to know more about this scene. If it's not too much work for you, please contact me at Bibliohoarding@tutanota.com

Thank you!
This guy seems to be on a crusade against Brave. Huge drama in the comments, all from one account. Incendiary title and tone, was doomed never to be constructive. Now it's on HN to get what, more views? A mob?

TLDR: Brave advertises for eToro. Is that ethical?

The way it's framed: brave scams its users.

There is probably a good discussion to be had about the ethics of advertising for a trading platform by Brave, but you won't find it here.
Do you have evidence that other politicians would have handled things significantly differently? As I said, the articles I found from the beginning of the crisis don't demonstrate that. Have you found any articles from, say, the beginning of February where politicians are calling for a much more robust response? The legislative branch certainly has the ability to act when they don't think the executive branch is up to the task (they actually were embroiled with a political battle with Trump at the start of this, but it was about impeachment).

Getting rid of Trump and replacing him with someone who would have handled this much better is great. Replacing Trump with someone who would have handled things about as well, keeping all the other political leaders who dropped the ball on this, and not changing the deep structural issues that have made things worse, will do little to help.
Not that complicated to keep things running. Lots of stuff is redundant, designed to be idiot proof and automated.

But more importantly, if you look at the way things are breaking down in different countries, the failures aren't happening all at once across every province/district/county simultaneously. So there is always going to be some crew from the neighboring town or city you can pull in.

When things breakdown over a large region at once eg 2003 Northeast blackout then expect a delay but even then you can see Hospitals and critical services kept running.
Flu can cause fever. Every fever is not caused by flu. Every flu does not cause fever.

I am like a patient asking the doctor is they have evidence this fever is caused by flu, not for example COVID-19. I wouldn't want to be referred to medical textbooks telling flu causes fever as your only evidence.
I'm curious about your writing, could you link to where I can find some of it?
Thanks. This is such a useful and insightful comment, @zaroth.
This is from 16 March. The article was published today.
In other words, "make iOS more like Android".

Granted, it looks more like what makers of cheap '80s cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic movies imagined what masculinity/power looks like.
Are you delusional or just trolling?

Shocking that people can like different things, I know.
Was it just me or did the ramp to the flatbed have solar cells on it?

Based on the 6.5’ bed and measuring the image on the product page, it looks like the vehicle will be ~210” long - has anyone seen an actual official number?
Pretty interesting. The most expensive model tows 14K pounds. Wonder if anyone would try to RV with one of these. Seems like going from RV park to RV park in a day it would work... But wonder about dry camping or even boondocking since state or national parks don't all seem to provide hookups. I'm not sure how you'd charge it then, maybe a generator as not sure if solar would be enough. For a RV park with hookups, probably someone could create an adaptor to hook it up the the 50 amps on the pedestal.

The geek inside of me thinks this is really cool, but wonder what the practicable side of this is. Does seem like something from the future for sure, amazing times we are in right now. Science fiction is becoming reality.

Also wonder if the range when towing would end up being less compared to not towing... I know some people are happy with 7 to 9MPG when towing their RV. However Diesel seems to do better than Gasoline... I know I heard Diesel has a lot of torque, but electric is even better.
The tri motor version will go from 0-60mph in under three seconds. That's insane!
Have you considered that your assumptions may be heavily flawed?
That either-or choice isn't fair. I'd guess it's a third - his mind races ahead (or off to the side, or the clouds) when he's doing presentations.

Many people have poor presenting skills. Just few of them get to be CEO and still insist on being the public face of the company
That’s about how much average F-150s cost anyway.
Wait. Does the average American shower more than once daily? Is water consumption/heating for showering even a measurable component of GHG emissions?
Well, I could ask why Pigeon needed to develop their own system instead of piggybacking on GV. I could also ask why nobody else tried offering GV setup as a service, if the alleged difficulty of setting it up was great enough to create a market for Pigeon.
PS. the missing field error is now resolved.
My editor ozette is like that (http://www.github.com/marssaxman/ozette/). I wouldn't call it "done", or suggest that anyone else use it, because there are a dozen unresolved bugs and maybe half a dozen unfinished or unimplemented features that seem important - but it's done enough that I spend all day every day using it to make a living. I fix bugs when they annoy me enough to justify the time spent, and I add features when I have time and inclination in my off hours. I suppose I assume that it will be "done" when I've fixed all the known bugs and implemented all the features I had intended before I began working on it, but it seems likely that I could spend my entire career using this tool and still manage to retire before "finishing" it, which suggests that "done" is not a very useful idea here.
everyone can be a designer just like everyone can be a programmer :)
Problem is, learning to use a tool to accomplish a few low-barrier-to-entry tasks is a lot different than developing taste and practicing a craft. I don't think designers (or programmers) should fear much here.
Thanks. I'd actually prefer to by through Namecheap as well. I saw RapidSSL and PositiveSSL certs, but I thought they are not suitable if I want both w/ and w/o 'www' subdomain.

So if I buy RapidSSL or PositiveSSL through Namecheap for www.example.com, they will automatically come with example.com in SAN?

Also, why do they have "You also need to have a dedicated IP address" in the requirements? Is this used somewhere in the validation process? I'm asking because the website runs on top of AWS S3, so I do not have dedicated IPs.
A few years ago I went to an exhibition about Charles Dickens at the Museum of London. The exhibition tried to depict something of the poverty and misery that was the daily experience of many people in the city at the time.

One of the paintings on display was by the Victorian painter Arthur Boyd Hougton and called Itinerant Singers (painted 1860).

The painting shows a family of beggars singing in the street while most of the public ignore them (not so different from today perhaps?)

I suppose we read into these paintings what we want, but for me it is the look of despair in the faces of the family (especially the mother) that has always made me remember this painting.

A simple explanation that Leiningen is a build tool/package manager/whatever-it-is-exactly for Clojure and Cryogen is installed using it would go a long way in clearing any confusion. Please define tools you require people to use, especially if they do not follow absolutely obvious patterns.
Presumably the cause is that their boss told them to use Java.

Now why did their boss tell them that ... Often these decisions have all sorts of legacy issues involved which don't make the real reasons all that clear cut - and if one were to really dig back the initial answer is likely "because that's what people say we're supposed to use"
"Despite the extension, however, it’s hard not to wonder why the EU decided to impose such an idiotic policy in the first place. It has long been industry best practice to leave domain names alone and allow their natural expiration dates (people typically register a domain for one or two years before they are prompted to renew it) to drive changes, rather than insist on arbitrary deadlines and impose new ownership requirements."
How could you tell they were immigrants?
> In France we work 35h

You, as a software engineer, work 35h / week? I thought it was mostly less qualified jobs. I don't know the law exactly, but none of my friends working in Paris work 35h / week.
"Do Things That Don't Scale" is not a choice which founders make even if they have all the resources and technical chops. If you don't know or unsure what to focus on then how do you decide to optimize and improve it?

Take Instacart for example, what would you have done differently to build the catalog given you had same information what Apoorva had at that time? Same for Pandora & Airbnb...
To me, using Firefox on desktop is easy. It is at least on par with competitors, if not better.

Firefox on Android on the other hand (the one the author worked on), IMHO, is simply an inferior product.

This is kinda understandable due to their small team size (and it looks like they're overworking too), but what I didn't get is why they kept revamping it. I don't have a clear timeline, but in my recent memory they at least did it twice.

Also, plenty of "great features" for some reason stay in beta/alpha/nightly forever. This is particularly obvious if you visit /r/Firefox on Reddit frequently; you see "oh for that, just use beta/nightly version!" as answers for help/feature request threads too often. It's like they never finish these features to push into release channel.

Anyway, it's getting harder and harder to stay using Firefox on Android. Especially after they essentially killed the extension ecosystem in Fenix.
If you can think of another couple of examples, you'll persuade me to change the word 'marginal' to 'minimal' ;-)
I doubt HN would ever be that sympathetic to her situation [1] because this is a website of people who overwhelmingly find the tradeoffs of software development to be worth it.

[1] and that's probably OK. We don't need to feel empathy for everyone who feels dissatisfaction in the world. That would probably be debilitating, honestly, seeing as how so many people are dissatisfied.
These are great, I found myself trying to predict the related areas, “..Slow connections..” ooh that must be conntrack! Been burnt by kube2iam too.. I guess it’s k8s failure bingo.
Data Analyst/Engineer/Scientist

Location: Europe (UTC+3 hours)

I am a data professional with a data oriented PhD. 10+ years of experience in research and industry. Currently on a job. I am open for a remote data related job.
I think he meant ids or slugs in the url as opposed to query string parameters. You are correct that both are GET request.
I don't know about that. Sure the perception is that "technology" is constantly accelerating. But if you look at it a more finite, measurable sense, for eg. Steam Engine/Steam Propulsion technology (I picked an arbitrary one, based on my assumptions, so apologies if this technology is "accelerating"), can be said to have decelerated. In this sense, the constant "acceleration", IMHO is more of a perception thing.
However, companies setting higher and higher sales forecast no matter what, is the type of acceleration that is quantifiable and not quite sustainable indefinitely. There are limits. You can keep profiting till you've got a monopoly on EVERYTHING... and then you just make all the minions work harder, or make people produce more babies so there are more consumer? That type of acceleration is unsustainable and quite frankly, absurd.
I was just thinking along the same lines, but with pilots.

To flip the question somewhat, what is an industry which managed to successfully turn around its gender balance? From mostly men to a somewhat more natural ratio. What can we learn from that industry?
Because maybe a lot of women know
some things the OP does not!

Before we ask women to charge into
programming, we should be quite
clear on why there are so few
women in programming now and just
what will happen to the women
who go into programming based on
our encouragement based on our
guesses of what the situation will
be like and what the results will
be.

It took me a very long time to get
some understanding of women. A
first lesson is, in both obvious
and deep ways, they are not much like
men. In a word, they are different.

Be careful.
> Theoretically, yes, but that means you need a pretty complicated setup to serve static assets.

Why? There's no difference on the server side, you would have multiple versions of the same file anyway. You're just exchanging the responsibility of getting the right file from the markup to responding with the right file on the server (which is way easier to keep consistent, IMO).
eh -- anecdotal evidence != real data though
Also because growth improves lives. In 1800 if your child contracted polio he would die, now they live. If you don't think technology and growth make lives better, then HN might not be the most like minded community for you.
Exactly. When you want to show results to a client, for example.

>2. Following from 1, notebooks are meant to be shared with output in place, so others can understand without executing code.

We wanted to let others execute the code without being overwhelmed by the code, but we also wanted our colleagues not to write an application or parametrize the notebook by adding metadata or tagging cells, so we added a feature named AppBooks[0]. We automatically detect parameters you want to expose, build a form on top of your notebook, and then serve a clean page.

The user gets a page with a form with fields corresponding to your parameters, they just change the values and hit Run. The notebook runs with the new parameters and the client/stakeholder gets the result.

This solves the problem of: "I have a notebook, how do I not only show my work, but allow domain experts to tinker and run this with specific values". Especially useful when the parameters are pretty domain specific (like instrumentation for nuclear power plants where the client wants to try the model on edge values).

These runs are tracked in case you want to share a training AppBook where it produces a better model, for example.

With managed servers I meant: Keep the LAMP stack up, running and secure. No App development. From my point of view it makes sense that a managed server provider does not give out root access. So theres no discussion whos responsible for what.
I find Applescript quite readable, especially for its purpose, but it's a pain to write, because, unless you use it often, you never know which subset of English is valid.

You DO realise this is used IRL too?
Jesus, we've sure defined down "beautiful" haven't we.
Can you suggest how to determine which are the "right things"?
I think your logic is a little bit overcomplex. I understand what you are saying - nobody wants to kill, people want to feel safe. They buy guns to feel safe, not to kill. I believe that to be true.

At the same time, guns are designed to kill, not to satisfy your need of safety.

There are many other items that work in a similar manner - airbags are designed to save you in an accident, but you want them in your car to feel safer. Burgler alarms are designed to react when someone is breaking into your house, but you install them to reduce the risk that someone will even try, contracts are designed to cover your ass in case of a court case, but they are signed in hope that it makes court case less likely etc.

But coming back to wepons, they are designed to kill. You can argue that fake guns are designed to scare attackers, but real guns are designed to kill. Their parameters, their tests, their ads, their designs, are all focus on precision of shooting, targeting, and efficency of the bullet to penetrate the target. They are designed to be a good tool for killing.

Tor is designed to be a good tool for privacy and anonimity.

You can test it using a simple mental experiment - if the needs of pedophiles and people needing anonimity diverged and became incompatible, I honestly believe that Tor would be developed to fulfill the needs of the latter group.
If the need of people looking to feel safe would diverge from the efficency of a weapon in killing, then I honestly believe that the weapon manufacturers would keep designing weapons to be efficient in killing.

> but I don't know anybody that regularly uses tor or pgp for emails and such.

That's a fallacy here. You may not know people who use it, because you may, guessing here, not spend time with people who have a reason to be afraid of their governments. You may not be part of the wikileaks movement. You may not know journalists who track mafia in Italy or Russia. Those are just examples.
And, because I work on multiple open source projects, I definitely know many people using PGP on daily basis.

> if you say the purpose of a handgun is to kill a human, I wonder what percentage of their regular use for that purpose is by criminals, it has to be pretty high, much higher than non-criminal use.

I guess you are right. :)

But I'm not sure how it relates to the topic of authors intentions.
I'm nearly certain it did, which is in line with submission guidelines; certainly the title led to our mutual confusion. I do not know how/if titles can be edited.
>Now, go ahead and name some non-gaming uses of CV1. I bet you can't come up with anything compelling

False. I own a DK2, which I regularly show to other non-gamers. It always blows their mind and they immediately start considering possible applications in their fields (film, medicine, architecture, dataviz, installation art, etc). I've even gotten people to introduce it to their coworkers and bosses to consider using it in some capacity.
On a tangent, I'd be interested in how you format heavily piped bash code for documentation. Can comments be intersparsed there?
Then it's not a GPS coordinate, it's a lat/long one. GPS measurements include altitude; whether or not one chooses to use it is a different matter.
Thanks for posting this. Given you were dealing with superiors, you treaded a fine line and did so well. I hope this encourages others to be similarly proactive whenever they see anything that appears to be harassment, regardless of whoever is instigating the act.
The fact that TXT records don't work for some people shouldn't stop us. Anything that isn't currently widely used is broken for lots of people, because that's how networks are administered. Once it gets deployed and people start complaining, any specific network problem will get fixed.

Delaying proper network security because it won't currently work for a few percent of people seems like a recipe for never getting there.
You are not getting the difference. People like the abstract concept of their enemies being defeated. What they don't like is when they are the ones that have to pull the trigger.
The DNS traffic doesn't need to be secret ("encrypted"), it just needs to be authenticated (i.e. the payload has not been modified and there is a chain of trust).

If a client is pre-seeded with trusted root keys, DNSSEC protected payload can be validated to the apex.
Biggest problem is that all those businesses you listed will balk at paying 1-2k for a website. Good luck convincing a hair salon owner why they need a website even for $500.

To start a web agency you need a network and connections to business owners or it's a real uphill battle doing it all cold. Or gotta just be really good at convincing people.

Shoot me an email at art9 at fastmail if you would be interested in a partner I am also doing exactly this! Let's see if our visions match up.
And so? Would they be able to handle a bike? I don't think so. The point is that large parts of the population can't make the transition to this bike shangrila because of age and/or health.
"Beyond that you are toiling, and if you like your job, it's glorious toiling like gardening (pleasing, but not important, but you love it, so it's great) or terrible toiling for living that eats your soul."

How beautifully put.
Not green paint, but safe cycling infrastructure would absolutely convert my girlfriend to a cyclist.

The amount of people who call me insane for cycling on London roads is no joke.

Why is it an anthropocentric concept, did you never place anything on a scale? Or have a wire rip from a weight hanging on it?
