in my experience people should be contributing _something_ within a month, hit a reasonable stride by 6 months, and asymptotically approach full speed extending out to 36 months.

A lot of the speed a junior, or new person has, is in not considering the things they do not know. If the system is incredibly robust it will just absorb their bad decisions. But in most decisions it means they planted ticking bombs. Often 5 minutes today costs 5 hours in 6+ months time.

That contributed nothing to the conversation.
They already knew that address though, they were waiting for them to convert the BTC to USD to find the person tied to the address. Still dangerous because the person you sent them to might give the feds your name.
Humans notoriously overestimate their competence and underestimate dangers they face. Combine that with a federal investigation that's going to be slow because 1) it's complex and 2) the feds will happily investigate you for years if it increases their chance of a conviction, and you've got a recipe for people who think they got away with it right up until the moment of arrest.
Why the negativity? You can easily filter “them” out. Even so, you can see if somebody’s advice is nonsense, it’s not the title that matters.
Apple deliberately designed their custom GPU to have the same performance characteristics as the PowerVR gpus that early iphones used.

Apple GPUs support the proprietary IMGTEC compressed texture format that nobody else uses and they use the same deferred rendering method.

Apple's deception was good that nobody realised they were shipping custom GPUs. Even with hindsight, nobody can really tell when apple shipped their first custom GPU. Apple may have even shipped GPUs which were a mixture of IMG and Apple RTL.

But at this point the internals are far enough appart that I doubt much code can be shared.
If you live in Britain and you ever hear seven pips on BBC radio instead of six, there's just been a leap second. That's the Greenwich Time Signal computer compensating for the extra second.
It may be true that books are losing popularity due to digital book readers. I'll still be using books however as a screen just can't compare with the feel, smell, and joy of reading an actual book. They might not be that popular, but they will never die.
Yeah that's not how it works. Welcome to the outgroup.
> they need to be spending more time in the gun range.

Not at all unlikely.
Those stats seem slightly misleading. The 49% of participants who had not had sex in the past month seems to include people who are single. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the 50% of couples include couples who havnt had sex ever.

Still interesting.
SLS is an irritant and can exacerbate mouth ulcers. For example, if you bite the inside of your cheek or if you bite your tongue, it will heal faster with an SLS-free toothpaste. SLS-free toothpastes are also much milder in minty-ness.

I switched to SLS-free (Squigle) about a year ago and couldn't be happier.
Google ads regularly serve malware[1], are you going to tell people not to visit Google?

Perhaps because because those two groups display caution when choosing when to have children, rather than an outright rejection of human interaction in favor of a simulacra?
Jiro would probably read -a lot- of documentation.
I see lots of people are mentioning other instances of slavery that this reminds them of. Well, here's one that's rampant, well-known, and persists right now:

I picked the newest "story" link I could find for it. There are countless articles and news stories about it, with whatever level of bias you wish or don't; you can google for it.
The reverse was also true; I worked for a company back in the 1990's that provided third part SPARC solutions - probably the only company in the Southern Hemisphere at the time that did so.

One of the more interesting products we resold were the ROSS Technology "Sparcplugs" - you basically had a SPARC motherboard and CPU that fit into a couple of 5.25" drive bays on a host PC. So almost the reverse of the SunPCI cards.

> I'll keep doing my bit to promote solutions that make K8s easier to understand like K3s (see also https://k3sup.dev) and to look into alternatives. But as you will see in my blog post - I don't think it's right to assume Kubernetes is the right solution for every team, and every project, without first talking about the problem being solved.

Thanks for doing your part. Frankly I don't believe the message is being spread enough. At least in the circles I circle, the unspoken expectation to use k8s for "everything" is persistent. The energy that I save by not dealing with it is sometimes spent on explaining why I'm not dealing with it. Yes, entirely an outcome of my circles. I will however share your links in the future, so thanks.
Yeah, this resonated with me. It's strange we need real-world equivalent stories to get a real sense for how strange some of this conduct is.

One problem I see is that the invasion/violation is abstract, instantaneous and committed by an inanimate thing. I wrote something about it here along the same lines:

> I do tend to run older (cheaper) chipsets.

The experience of running old hardware on Linux is much better than that of running new hardware.

Except for certain products at least (I run latest nvidia compute cards and the drivers just work).
I want mouseless everything. Unfortunately mouseless browsing isn't easy and mouseless usage of the rest of the apps is next to impossible because of inconsistent hotkeys (except on Mac perhaps).
None of those are barriers. If you want to live on the amazon platform, you end up being a serf on their platform. That's a given.

If you want to start a small business to compete with amazon, then of course their logistics, pricing and SEO is better than you. That's like saying that you want to start a garage car manufacturing plant, but you are out-competed by automanufacturer's investment in robotization and automation, and streamlined inventory management.

That's not a 'barrier' per se - it's the point of amazon. As a small operator, if you do not have a value proposition, you don't have the right to exist.
you can do with simple cheap Anne Pro 2
It's a problem with dub. The D compiler operates basically exactly like a C compiler would as far as I'm aware.

Note that in most cases an incremental build isn't really required for D because for moderately complex projects you're often limited by linking speed, not compiling speed.
No, it’s segmenting which information goes to which company. Apple already has your IP address so why also give it to Google? Meanwhile the https traffic is only proxied through Apple, so they don’t see the content.
"Charity" as in the Principle of Charity has a specialized meaning. It isn't about being nice (though we should do that too). It's about keeping discussions substantive. Since that is the raison d'etre of Hacker News threads, I do indeed think we can expect HN commenters to be charitable in this sense.
>So what is the hack that keeps us from constantly taking our luxuries for granted?

There is no hack. Humans are wired to seek novelty. Novelty by definition wears off. The best thing I've found is to try to seek novelty in creating rather than consuming, but our very nature ensures contentedness is an elusive goal.

Many people attempt to attain contentedness through religion. I'm religious myself, but I think that man was made to create, and to improve the world, so being content with the status quo isn't really something I've tried to work on.

That being said, I think that it is important to attempt to be thankful for what you have while still working towards the future.
I spent last 3 months building AngularJS + Flask where the client talks to server only through REST. There were 3 options:

1. Bare Flask
2. Flask RESTful
3. Flask Restless

I've spent quite some time investigating 2nd and 3rd options. Problems with 2nd:

a) Didn't bring much to the table comparing to pure Flask. Extra abstraction and complexity that without much improvements
b) Swallowing Flask exceptions
c) Risk that the project will be abandoned and poor maintenance (commit frequency)

3rd: Direct mapping to SQL-Alchemy models is too restrict. Hard to change stuff - very opinionated

I end up with pure Flask. It's already good with enough rest framework!. Great balance between power and abstraction.

I'm looking forward to dig into this project. Would be great if it has great integration with flask admin and security. Also support for OAuth flows would be awesome.

I have a few question for the author - of top of my head. How do you handle pagination? one example returns json array, what about JSON vulnerability?
A good host will redirect to the proper version of the docs when presented with a root URL, but how do you link someone to a specific language, if the Accept-Language is the canonical source for this information?

The author conveniently ignores that that frontier mentality resulted in the massacre of entire civilizations that were already there.

The frontier is a white man's myth. In reality there was only bloody conquest.

So yeah, protecting innocent people from this frontier mentality, might not be such a bad idea.

This pretty much falls right in line with the "disruption is good" mentality. Fuck the human costs.
I have a roommate, which is pretty essential to affordable living in a place with expensive real estate. I live in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, which is a very different neighborhood from what it was in 2001. I eat out a lot, travel reasonably often, ride bikes on the regular, attend events regularly, and so on— it's certainly possible to spend more on lifestyle, but I don't think it would make me much happier.

Tech job benefits certainly help keep expenses reasonable, too.
Doesn't really help the vast majority of people living in the Seattle area. Still holding out hope for Google Fiber, or, really, anyone but Comcast.

About half of Seattle is still zoned for single-family housing; the economics of attempting to wire single-family house are not good.
There are thousands of sociology and history faculty around the country who study this for a living, publishing hundreds of peer reviewed books on the topic annually in top university presses. The research has been ongoing and clear for decades.

This is a bit like saying "citation needed" for "the mitochondria is the workhorse of the cell". You just sort of gesture broadly at literally an entire field that studies this stuff.

It takes almost no effort to look up some faculty member at your alma mater who studies crime, race, and policing, look up one of their books, and check it out.

I don't think that's how productivity works
I think you are missing the point because you are thinking too short term. Reddit likely won't exist/won't be as popular in a decade or two, the current owners would still own it but it won't be part of the cultural zeitgeist in the same way. Think AM Radio, Cable TV, Friendster or MySpace. Instead it will be replaced with something else, that something else might not even be called social media, and that thing will be controlled by people with a different political ideology than who currently control Reddit.

I don't know how old you are but do you recall the mid to late 90s/early 2000's in the US? Back then we had to fight so shows like South Park could be shown on cable television (a private platform) due to the fact that the general consensus among the population was that content like that offended their personal and religious values and should be prohibited. Those exact people won't be in power again, but people similar to them almost certainly will. Moves like this hand them a weapon to use against you.
> can revert policies once a situation de-escalates

This is rarely observed. See all of the legislation and policies that have remained, and even expanded, after 9/11. Politicians tend to make laws, not remove them. See the tax code for a good example of asinine infinite expansion.
Is there any evidence whatsoever that outside walks are serious vector of transmission.

Imagine you wrote a post like this, and then you get an offer for $19B. I really wonder how many here would sincerely FU that (anyone who saw FB doing the move knew what they were going for)
I thought it sounded like a cool place to work too - I took a look at their homepage and it just creeped me out. Apparently they've got a large community but I can't see it ever including me (I couldn't stand to eat my own dog food).
Yes, the UK has questionable politicians. A quick survey suggests this isn't limited to either the UK, English speaking countries, medium sized countries (by landmass or otherwise), or the EU.

Anyway, the UK is realistically still a global great power (the US being the only acknowledged super power):

6th by GDP (nominal)
8-10th by GDP (PPP)
Permanent member of UN Security Council
Declared nuclear weapon state
6th by military expenditure
3rd biggest European country by populace (excluding Russia)
4th biggest importer and exporter in the world
7th biggest R&D spending

The only European countries to consistently be ahead of the UK are the French, and most of the time the Germans.
It sounds like the technology forecasts in the 50ies and 60ies but with a pessimistic instead of an optimistic undertone.
Corrected! Thanks for the heads up!!
Since we're talking crazy stuff, what if similar to how we control matter a super advanced entity could control souls (say, like a form of slavery, or laboratory testing on animals), gathering them into batches and injecting them into simulations, that they control, without having control over the subjects?

I'm not proposing this as the situation, but if we're talking simulations, it's fun to think about.
Yeah that's not really up to you, whether or not knights exist. If a government has something called a "knighthood", then they exist, full stop.
It sounds like a good idea. What game would you suggest?
Ha, ha. I read that as “expert sex change” lol
Wait, you can access Plex from VLC?
I don't think I would pay either. But then the question becomes: Why do you publish your software? Why not just keep it all to yourself?

If you have some incentive to share your code I assume it is you want your users to have and use your code. If you want them to use your code you want them to be able to trust that code too.
Ah thanks for the correction! Edited my comment for accuracy =)
Have you tried f.lux (or equivalent built in blue light filter on your devices)?

I remember one evening where friends didn't get the point of f.lux, until we switched it off as a demonstration, and they went "aargh, put it back! Put it back!"

Not having it on my phone actually led me to buying $1 orange goggles, and eventually a newer phone with a real blue light filter.

Also, do you find sunsets aesthetic? Twilight is the natural blue light filter.
Most of their (30'ish) stores were in California, but they had a number of stores in Texas and the Western states. The SF Bay area had a few locations including Fremont, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and San Jose.
In case anyone's forgotten, there was also that story where Upwork cut off a freelancer with no explanation, and falsely told the client they had to upgrade, on the pretense that Upwork had to comply with the California law about contractor status.

(Which is indeed an issue with CA's contractor laws, but in no way requires them to ghost you or you to use their payroll service.)

To the best of my knowledge accredited investor laws are preventing this.
Yeah I am as well, but we are all sick of paying rent and yet we do. It is what it is and there's no way around it.
Would you spend $5k for the streaming rights to an mp4? Thats generally where people see NFTs going.

Mark Cuban was talking about this yesterday on bankless podcast, how an NFT can contain all the royalty payments for e.g. a film or tv show, director/producer/actors/editors, and when someone wants to show it they rent it for a period of time (or buy it to rent to others), their rent payment instantly divided across everyone involved. That utility saves a lot of time and money. His comparison is to how he still receives physical checks for $1 from some episode of a tv show he did that are barely worth cashing, saving time/money in that process is potentially big business.
Try to get the cops to care about this. Try to get campus security to care about this. Try to get your campus IT department to care about this. (They probably don't want you running servers anyway.)

Law enforcement has bigger issues. In a world where HBO can send a letter to my roommate from an IP in 10 days, and the police investigating a robbery have to wait 9 months for the same thing. You did the right thing.

I would have played a longer con game instead of nuking some random ftp server, he probably just set up another one.

Digital reception will start to store the received signal within a buffer, and the decoder will interpret the signal from within that buffer. With poor reception of a digital signal, the buffer starts/stops being filled. Once the signal is back, it starts filling the buffer again with data missing from when the signal was lost. The blockiness you are seeing is the decoder attempting to decode that incomplete data.

The difference between poor analog signal vs poor digital is just totally different. Analog was much more forgiving for receiving less than full signal strength. With digital, the signal stops, starts, stops; there is no partial reception of the signal. Lost packets are not re-transmitted like TCP/IP packets.
My school district sent out an email basically saying they won't educate us on anything new for the unforeseeable future. They're not going to give any graded assignments or really collect any work from us. Essentially, it's just us reviewing things for the next month or so.

On a side note, College Board plans to make students take AP tests from home (presumably they have a plan to stop cheating): https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/about-ap/news-changes/cor...
> I run 4K at 32" in Ubuntu and it's perfect.

That's actually quite exciting to hear. I run Ubuntu on a 34" 3440 x 1440, and it's been a major step-up from dual 27" 1080p displays, but it has made me wonder what is the optimal display for programming.

4K at 32" seems to be pretty close to the most pixels you can fit into a display without either a) making the display so big it becomes unwieldy, or b) making the pixels so small that you have to use display scaling to see anything.

> Gnome allows you to specify the scaling of individual apps (if you edit their launch shortcuts), so depending on the app I can run 1:1, 125% or 150%

Oh, that's a useful trick.

> So yeah, 1080p/14" really is the sweet spot.

Yep, in general (i.e. typical home office use as well as programming) I would say that displays with a density between 120-150ppi are probably ideal for desktop use, whereas a density between 140-170 is right for laptops.
I've seen B&W snow but on the other hand, the description seems to apply equally to a bright uniform blue. However, I may have a different perspective because in the 80s and 90s, the "TV" in my house was a computer monitor connected to a VCR with a tuner, connected to a cheap antenna. Any time there was no signal, it was blue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz54Ij1fYNQ

The thing is, it doesn't make sense to me in the way it was apparently intended, because I've never seen a sky that literally looks like B&W static. Today it's snowing where I am, but the sky itself is a uniform blank light gray, as I would expect.

We could equip the police and the rioters with this gear and have an independent third party (UN maybe ?) count the points and announce a winner.

Well I guess you still have to resort to "real" violence when one party refuse to accept the results and start to bring guns to a tonfa fight.
The last paragraph:

> FSB representatives served on the board of at least one of banks that wired billions out of Russia as did Igor Putin, Putin’s cousin. He was a manager and executive board member in the Russian Land Bank. This bank wired more than $9.7 billion to Moldindconbank in Moldova, most of which went on to Trasta Komercbanka and from there on to the world.
My emphasis is on the word need. I'd happily consider any evidence you've seen.
> For example, does lsp for Go in Emacs allow searching for the implementers of an interface?

That’s unfortunate for NJ, the $900 person just turned 60 last Friday and the couple paying $800 are 63 and 64.

My brother in law is a low income 1099 earner and gets a special insurance for his kid that’s about $30, called PeachCare and it maxes out at $70 for 2 kids. Depending on income it’s $10-$35 dollar max per child.
How about Avalonia. https://avaloniaui.net/ The assertion that there are no .NET core GUI frameworks and that resorting to the abomination that is electron is the solution is just false.

Or go full functional with an Elmish architecture using F#, .net core and Avalonia.

Hi HN! I was researching charities a while ago when I came across this excellent presentation by the founder of the Against Malaria Foundation, Rob Mather: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5wr3u8Gjwg

During the Q&A at the end, Rob mentioned an idea for a website that would make it really easy for anyone to donate just a single net. This is the result of me building that site + reaching out to AMF!
