It's a puerile attempt to be edgy or authentic. Not that it shocks me, judiciously used swear words can be effective -- most often in spoken English, but occasionally in written as well. It just adds nothing to this title.

This case from yesterday: http://fuckinggodateformat.com/ is slightly better. It tells the reader that the author of the page doesn't like the go date format in a succinct fashion. Though, on the other hand, it primes you for a rant rather than a cheat-sheet.
Why do you think people have trouble breaking things down logically?

I think one, emotions demand immediate action, no immediate action is apparent, more emotion. Breaking things down is a detour - if it wasn't I don't think I'd hear "a journey begins with a single step" or "baby steps" nearly as often as I do.
Two most people don't have as strong of an urge to analyze which is the ability to break things down and look at them individually.

For these two reasons I think that's why it can be so helpful to talk over with someone else - they're not feeling the emotion so they can be more objective and help break, or they have more experience to help fill in the gaps in your breakdown.

Also, When you say most people don't appreciate how to give clear instructions ... That's a tricky line. On one hand, people should (and don't) think through enough to shape their general idea. I'm a growth guy and surprising how many people basically say "we need more users, can you help?" But why...? How is their retention, activation, monetization? If those are not good you're just throwing money away.

But I don't think you should expect people to spell out line by line. At a previous job I served briefly as temp product manager and I felt irritated how I had to write the algorithm for the engineering team. When you start crossing into "how", I think you're giving too much instruction.
Your giving up does not mean others should. I have worked 40 years with practically no contact with anything MS-bound. (I have a few times had to chase down a bug in, uniquely, the MS port of a product; and used a full-screen Linux VM running on top of W7, elsewhere.)

All the highest-paid programming jobs are not MS-bound.
While there is definite correlation with sitting and not being super healthy, going to other extreme, using standing desk all the time would also give you varicose veins.

Some healthy balance of being active and also being knowledge worker and smart Alec would definitely be best.
In the past such services have used geosynchronous satellites, at least far as I am aware. The problem with that is the great height of the satellites means a pretty serious lag. IIRC, about 250 ms, round trip. LEO satellites, however, would have a tiny amount of lag added.
Made this script over a cup of coffee a while ago. Enjoy :)
Is the lack of incremental compilation aproblem with dub or with D compiler in general?

The Z80 Softcard was popular because it gave businesses an affordable way to run WordStar and Visicalc under CPM.

Many Apple IIs in the business world were only used to run CPM.

Yep, the Dyson might perform worse in some tests but the box fan is very noisy, and I hate noisy fans... especially for sleeping.
Oh good lord, I'm in the middle of one of these right now.

My team runs a fair number of K8s clusters, mostly on Azure AKS. Of the pods in our clusters, a few talk to the AKS API server for their cluster. Those pods that do, will, occasionally, lose contact with the API server. API calls will start timing out. It'll usually resolve on its own after some time, but then come back later. It's somewhat affected by load. (If we reboot a node or nodes, it usually happens after that reboot.)

I think SNAT port exhaustion is likely. Azure claims it isn't, and they don't provide monitoring on it, so I'm forced to take their word on it.

Azure support has been less than helpful. They think we're putting too much load on the API server. The sum total of all of our custom pods that make k8s API calls is only like ~1/3 of the total load. The rest is core k8s components, like the kubelet. That to me, doesn't smell like a lot of load. Their other suggestion is to buy the "Uptime SLA", a contract that adds an SLA to the cluster. Otherwise, all they offer is an SLO. (Which, empirically … we don't get.)

If someone would love to write the rest of this story… I'd love it. We're rolling out the SLA, and it seems promising, but we're hitting what we think is a separate issue. (Sometimes, the API server will refuse connections from particular nodes, usually for good: we've had to reboot the node to unwedge it. This is the second time that's happened; the first time, Azure support told us to they couldn't debug without a live example. Now we have a live example…)

(I do, on the whole, like Kubernetes. It does a lot of things well.)
"Those who never learned to touch type are not likely to grok the appeal of mouseless work."

I think this is the problem. If it can't be explained, it makes me doubt there are objective improvements.
why make a promise you intend to break?

That is comprehensive! Good job. I still do about 1/3 of all of my consulting work in Lisp languages, and even though not the subject of Dan's survey, I suspect that Clojure will help keep Lisp popular with developers who are looking for high productivity languages.
OK, having read the article it's not even vaguely fair since their paths with and roles in their respective companies are not at all alike. Jobs is still rebuilding Apple after his return and his role in the company is a lot more central than Gates, who it sounds like after a certain point made sure the key people design people had a clue (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html) but then left a lot more details to them.

Plus as the author acknowledges Jobs may be making anonymous donations, which I'll note are by definition less well tracked than the prominently named ones and that have also been the style of many in the past. E.g. the bulk of the money necessary to relocate MIT to its "new" campus before and during WWI was anonymously donated by George Eastman (Kodak). We might be surprised someday to learn that Jobs has been making significant donations, or perhaps he'll move into that mode later ... or perhaps he's sufficiently concerned about his health that he's focusing everything on Apple and his family and if he passes away he will leave it to his wife to do the philanthropic phase.
Oh, I don't know. He seems pretty keen to invest in the new technology, if only so he can write about it on his web site to generate funds to buy more new (and old) stuff.

Would you think any differently of this article if it said 'Canon 5D Mark II Video: Why I Don't Care what you can do with this camera right now in 2010'? Because I don't read the article as saying 'video on DSLRs will never be useful', just 'this is why video on DSLRs isn't as useful right now as you might think it is', and that's a useful piece of information if you're thinking about buying one of these cameras today.

That said, what's probably odd for a technology review is that the only bit of futurology is the sentence 'DSLRs are not yet optimized for focus for video shooting as are camcorders and pocket cameras.' Subtle use of 'yet' there: everything else discusses the here and now.
Wasn't Silicon Valley built by major government handouts in the form of defense spending?
Is there a method for proving biologically that this woman is 157 years old?
Though I don't know much about fashion, I can't help but think that the investment required to think up of a new fashion design must pale in comparison to the investment required for innovation in other industries. Perhaps years to write a book, millions to shoot a movie, millions to design a chip.

That probably makes all the difference in terms whether or not IP is a socially beneficial system.
Good stuff - I only half-cocoon with the wrap because I can't sleep so well completely under the blanket. I might try one of those head pieces after reading the article - I'm usually on the road for a while so I fight hard not to pack around extra gear, but if I'm doing a lot of flights in a short period it's probably worth the $10 just to see if there's a benefit. I'm flying tomorrow but it's only a two hour flight, I might try next time I do a long haul - cheers for the recommendations.

Wifi is also slower, M1 Macs have only 2x2 MIMO chip (Broadcom BCM4378). In AC mode (5 GHz, HT80), it maxes with 866 Mbps link speed. Intel Macs are faster in this regard.
The risk of purging legitimate voters on a scale that could actually affect the election results is substantially overstated, from what I can tell. In particular, there was a claim which went viral after the 2016 election that this had actually happened in the swing states whose (award-winning journalist) author clearly knew it couldn't work as advertised. It compared the number of entries on the purge lists with the victory margin, pointed out it was smaller, and claimed this proved the vote was rigged that way. There were two huge issues - the first is that many people genuinely wouldn't have been eligible to vote in those states, and the second is that in at least one and probably all three states being on the purge list wouldn't actually stop the people from voting if they did turn up at a polling station, and all three were necessary for Trump to win. (People are only actually removed from the register if they don't vote for a while after being added.) The author clearly knew this, because buried in the article was an odd little disclaimer about how what happened when people were added to the purge lists varied from state to state without any further details. The ACLU and the press in general also like to run articles claiming every name removed is a "suppressed vote".

I think that may have been after just a few years of not being able to purge voters due to lawsuits from the ACLU, so there is definitely a big enough pool of registered voters who are likely no longer living in that state to potentially swing elections at least some of the time. If I remember rightly, some recent key swing states have a lot of outward migration compared to the victory margins.
Compare to Sales. There are slimy people who sell products that don't work. There are great salespeople who transform businesses and people's lives for the better.

I'm sure lots of salespeople cringe at the thought of being associated with the slimeballs. But yet... It's all Sales and they are all salespeople.

EDIT: By all means call yourself "constructive." But it is not a requirement of hacking. How was stealing telecommunications services constructive for the telecommunications companies?
That's not why they're wrong

I would argue that it's one of many reasons they are wrong.

I'm equally as concerned about the privacy and civil rights violations. But it's still a problem that the machines pose a physical risk to passengers and TSA employees.
I didn't realize that the Kayak founders have a member from basically every other major competitor. I would love to hear that story.

Hacking in India is a total different context.
The west hacks because it's cool.(To increase the happiness.)

Something like this is totally necessary, but this approach is very wrong.
Its sad Pratik keeps mentioning 'profit' in terms of money. Glory to the name is enough a profit imo.

The misnaming works well though. The hacker part covers all the technical posts, and the fact that it's on the YC domain covers all the startup posts.

If it was called startupnews, everyone would complain about the technical posts.
Hey, instead of asking for one sponsor, perhaps you could set up a donation system (kickstarter?) so that people can contribute whatever they feel comfortable with.
It amazes me how widespread is the notion that a cache can be used to "store" things. Case in point:

"SecureSocial uses the Play cache to store values while signing in users via OAuth. If you have more than one server then make sure to use a distributed cache (eg: memcached)." [1]

I don't even see the option to downvote. Maybe I have to be more of a vet to get that privilege. I appreciate all discussion here, especially that which challenges my assumptions.
What Bill and Melinda are doing is amazing and quite admirable. My only question after reading this is... Shouldn't there also be some focus on lowering birth rates in poor areas? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that go hand in hand toward achieving their goals?
Hiii everyone, this is my first time posting here! I have read Hacker News sometimes but only thought about sharing my own post after seeing Manara's post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25849054) last month. I asked them if I can share this here and they said it was a good idea. :)

I’m a 19-year-old Gazan female who participated in Manara last year and got internships at Google and Repl.it. I’m so excited I will spend this summer at Google in Europe! I got lots of questions about my experience when people heard about it on Facebook so I wrote this blog post to let other young engineers in Palestine and the Middle East know how they can get into amazing companies like this too.
I think it's 2 conflicting things going on. An owned brand/private label has higher % gross profit, but a name brand will often have a higher $ gross profit per unit. There's a balance for total profit between the whole set of products, because some people are brand loyal and others will switch depending on the price difference and options.
Latitude matters! I grew up outside of Atlanta, which is 33N and similar to Tel Aviv at 32N. My dad's Irish skin probably faired much worse here than it would have at 53N (Ireland, Berlin).

I don't burn too easily in the sun here and it's easy to avoid in prolonged exposure with a little sunscreen. I was shocked the first time I ventured close to the equator. In southern Mexico (15N) and Costa Rica (10N) my skin burns in about 10 minutes without sunscreen.
Eh, no. I’m not charismatic enough to handle my own post apocalyptic cult. Just want to how this relates to equity and asset pricing.
Please forgive my ignorance of military processes involved.

Could that be addressed by old software trick of modularising components - software and hardware-alike - and rely on some extensive semi-open protocols to connect these? I think car manufacturers have faced that at some time in the past, even inside single manufacturer (not sure if they have solved it completely). Sounds like they need Ada-like project, but for hardware side.
Exactly, and Bill Gates also understands that you can fall into all kinds of legal and regulatory traps by making public statements about your investments, something Elon Musk has never seemed to grasp.
As one of the complainers (and the person who filed the bug you linked to), I'm happy to see Google make some progress here. I'm even happier to see that they hired Adrienne Felt, who is excellent, and are letting her improve the usability of Chrome's warnings.
I've replaced on my X220 the screen (TN->IPS), keyboard, bluetooth chip, memory and drive. But I really respect that cell replacement thing! Please share your knowledge! Maybe it is above my level but it can help everyone :)
The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday is the book that I read daily (it has an entry for each day) for the past 5 years and has helped me immensely. I tend to write one sentence in it after reading it, and then compare to all the previous one's I wrote - useful for uncovering (bad) patterns.
Is avoiding accountability the whole point of anonymity?
I really like your bookmarklet. Few quick notes I have after using it for a few minutes.
- It will sometimes begin to read source code.

- There doesn't seem to be an obvious way to close the reader?

- Customization for colors/fonts/positioning would be great!

Great work!
> plus it's lossless

Only if you define the vinyl copy to be the primary one, in which case vinyl is lossless by definition. However, if you take a live performance to be primary, vinyl is lossy because it has a reduced dynamic range compared to both live performances and digital technologies.

Grandparents transmit culture to their grandchildren. This is a very good bet as to why humans live such absurdly long lives.

It might even be testable.

I often wonder if the Upper Paleolithic Revolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Paleolithic_Revolution) could be correlated with genetic changes related to longevity. If the genes responsible for our double-lifetimes (we live about twice as long as you'd expect a mammal of our heart rate to survive) were small in number and had mutations that could be traced back to ~50 ky BP it would be strong evidence for this idea.
Once per 30 seconds. That's in our robots.txt: https://news.ycombinator.com/robots.txt. We've been working for a long time on (edit: what we expect to be) some serious performance improvements that might allow us to relax that limit. For now though, HN's process still runs on a single core and we don't have much performance to spare.

> How could tenant rights be improved, and how would you answer that question in a world with "ideal" tenant rights?

It's difficult isn't it? You need to somehow reconcile the fact that it's not the tenant's home with their desire to treat it like it is.

I've had to fight to get basic repairs and redecoration work done. In some of these cases I've still had a battle despite funding them myself!

I think something you could probably address is the lack of security with tenancies. In the UK, after the initial fixed period of an AST, it's very easy for either party to terminate the lease. I'd prefer for this to be tipped in favour of the tenant, so that they can be flexible and leave if necessary - but they're not also in danger of homelessness at very short notice.
I think this is fair. The problem in most western democracies is, that it is nearly impossible to enforce a law that is not accepted by the people, at least not for a long time. A complete shutdown in Wuhan-style may be more effective, but in any western country the people would, after two or three weeks, start to find loopholes. So i think its better to make a law that is a bit less effective but accepted by the people instead of a law that invites people to get "creative"
but what happens to those skills when you stop taking the pills?

That might be a problem if you've only got enough money for this month's rent, but otherwise any company that would pull that would abuse you in other ways had you been hired.
Yeah the in depth look helps before forming conclusions like "you have to render everything every frame." Key thing is immediate mode can often mean just the sense of the API, not necessarily the draw scheduling.

re: widget-local state -- React is one of the most popular models for that. Basically if widgets are identified over time by the sequence of ids (includes array indices like React keys) on the path to them from the root, state is coherent across that identity, and mount / unmount events exist at the boundary of the identity. Callstack / push-pop based APIs like ImGUI maintain this sequence either impicitly or explicitly in the stack. Then there is some API to read / write to the state store (like React hooks or ImGUI generic state storage) with optional update triggering in async APIs like React's.
I assume that's including precompilation, otherwise something is seriously wrong with your computer. Precompilation can take a while, but it's cached between sessions, so it should be much faster the second time.

Also, in version 1.6, we have multithreaded precompilation which happens at installation time instead of when you first try to load the package. This makes it much faster.
"runtime" is a term that has conflicting colloquial and precise definitions.

In a precise sense, any non-assembly language, including C, has a runtime. In practice, this makes the term "runtime" not super useful to many folks, so they mean "virtual machine" or "large, featureful runtime that's required to support critical language features" when they say "runtime."

Rust is the same as C in this regard. It technically has a runtime, but not in the way that many people mean.
He continued to post daily updates of his held options until I believe 5 February, but I'm not sure what he did after that. I'm not sure if anyone but him knows, since that was around the time he was summoned by this committee.

As of that last update he was still holding most of his options, but it is believed that he had converted at least some of them and profited more than $10 million.

I don't have a better source than random Reddit comments, though.
Oh, by the way, Starbucks has "fair-trade" coffee, which costs more because the farmers get a decent wage.

There is such a thing as violation. There is such a thing as teacher or boss abusing his authority to get sex where he has upper hand. In US, that topic is not taboo. If where you are such option is not accepted as possibility, then it is not US who has taboo.

Non american women do get touched inappropriately and they do not like it. And they do complain about it, if you know them close enough.
