Share some information on how, or you're just whining in harmony. Something that was posted earlier on HN pissed you off? Too bad. I fail to see what's newsworthy or interesting about your feelings of irritation.
Pretty cool, did you design any of these?
I await chessroulette: lichess + video of your opponent.
> The mouth is one of the dirtiest places on the body, which is why human bites are so dangerous.

To others, with broken skin.

We're inhaling air that passes through our own dirty mouths pretty regularly without getting infected by it already.
> (3) Are the features mature enough that I don't anticipate major rewrites for code each year?

There is a very good heuristic for that. Write a non-trivial program using the last version of the language and according to current conventions. Then look how far can you go into past versions of the language so that your program runs correctly.

If the oldest version of the language that runs your program is X years old, then you can expect your program to stop running after X years in the future.
I don't think that's fair, simply because things have actually gotten a lot better. This is shown in this blog post and it also is evident to people who use Julia:

https://i.redd.it/ik4uymvb28k51.png

Also, compiling a sysimage used to be an arcane art, and now works reasonably simply/well. It's easy to imagine a future where, with the tooling that is already there and without a magic breakthrough in caching Julia code, we simply get a per project sys-image in VSC that is recompiled when needed.
What it does is give you Credibility. Don’t be surprised that a doctor or lawyer is afforded more credibility by having done something at least once.
What a list of wonderful names!

Examples:

* Lamb's Quarters
* Good King Henry
* Siberian spring beauty
* Spotted Cat's-ear
* Fishwort
* John's Cabbage
* Shawnee Salad
* Dragon's head
* Henbit deadnettle
* Nipplewort
* Gooseneck Loosestrife
* Love-restorer

I now looking forward to exclaiming:

"You miserable henbit deadnettle!"

or

"They are nothing more than a group of lazy nippleworts..."
I didnt say years of experience is equal to status

But it sure as hell takes years of experience to achieve certain status
Yea, hacker news is pretty anti religion and people generally don't care about things that don't effect them or their views.

I am also not religious but I find this sentiment sad as many of us are in the position to help bridge the digital divide.
> So far you’ve failed to convince me on how to sell this to teams or make it easy to integrate.

Yeah, because I'm not trying to convince you of anything. It's a tool in your toolbox, use it when you think it's advantageous, otherwise use your other tools. I couldn't care less of what you chose to do or how you "sell this to teams". I'm a developer who simply chooses the best tool for the job, sometimes that's Statecharts and sometimes it's something else. Also don't have any idea about what ideas are circling around in "Academia" as I'm far away from that ecosystem and only focus on shipping working products.

If you're looking for something "easy" in particular, then whatever you don't know is gonna be hard. Such is the life of a developer, where sometimes the simpler way is harder but worth it in the end. React was hard for people to grok in the beginning as well, but that doesn't mean it's bad, it just means people are not familiar with it. If you're just looking for easy solutions then yeah, feel free to stop improving and continue use the stuff you already know or is familiar to you.

So in the end, do what you will with the knowledge and experience I've shared with you, I have zero interest in selling you anything and I'm simply discussing stuff here on HN as I'm curious about things and want to have discussions with people who are also curious about things, but this discussion stopped being productive a long time ago.
So if I'm getting this right, and I might not, the author:

- Is a genius. Outside the bounds of usual intelligence and thus unrecognizable for average people.

- He however is not able to use his genius to create value in any way. He specifically mentions failing to teach others to do so but this is because they are unable to comprehend his genius.

- Finally he his also not able to signal his genius (in any of his numerous publications) in such a way that someone who does have the tools/skills(money/better communication) to exploit this enormous unused potential is willing to do so.

If it's a duck but:

- nobody thinks it looks like a duck,

- it doesn't quack and

- it isn't able to produce any offspring that

- can quack or

- look like a duck

Is it really a duck?
My problem in the current pandemic is we are told to listen to scientists, who if they were honest would admit they don't know a great deal about what will happen. So we are getting a scientists opinion about things such as lockdown, for which there was practically no evidence (it's the fist time this experiment has been tried), just Neil Ferguson and his demonstrably wrong computer models and his opinion that lockdown is the way forward.
The attacker in this case new the exact moves to insert a backdoor into .NET software. It wasn't hard to do, requiring no science.

But Microsoft's "system of trust" was undermined. The attacker was even inside Microsoft and Azure. No anti-virus, no "defender", no amount of basic or advanced telemetry caught this.

FireEye alone caught it... By accident.

The real "elephant in the room" is that software security continues to be marketing theatre. Closed-source software should not be trusted and consumers should not believe that any due diligence has been done to protect them.
Ops, fixed, yes somehow funny
Sanofi is starting production of the Biontech / Pfizer stuff this summer. They have delays in their own mRNA vaccine. So yes, competitors are cooperating. And it gives you an idea of the production difficulties.
Idk what projects you are working on that don't require any configuration.

I just started a new Vue 3 project with typescript, Vite, VuePrime and some other dependencies, and there were a lot of undocumented steps and annoying issues to get everything working. JS-shims, beta version browser extensions, colliding ESLint rules, buggy dependencies that get compiled into broken JavaScript, etc.
For desktop? I am not sure what we have is superior. Unless you count, which was designed by the same guy who did Delphi.
I think comments like this dismiss all the people who are using bitcoin for actual, good reasons. They are mostly in developing nations which is why they seem to be getting ignored. There are people who otherwise have to pay very high cross-border transaction costs or can't get a bank account and have real utility for using bitcoin.

It would be like going to a drag race and claiming "cars are gambling". It ignores all the people using cars for commuting to work, getting groceries, etc. How about re-phrasing this to "cryptocurrency speculation is gambling"?
> K8s is enterprise stuff

The comment you’re replying to already said whom.
Reading cutting edge papers is not something the layman can do, it's a waste of time.

This is why we have things like the CDC offer guidelines, taking into account the changes and growth in our knowledge base. Knowledge is collected and verified over time and eventually becomes distilled in easy to understand ways to the public.
I agree with this.

And it's not only teams who would use this service, since it has a generous free tier.

If I hadn't built my own system, I'd definitely use this one, and receiving an email would be nice as a reminder which could hang around in the inbox until I have time to deal with it (if I'd had the need to, since it's all automated). I don't use Slack, nor Discord, but XMPP, and if I'd set up a Webhook handler, it would end up sending me an email and XMPP notifications.

I have a small custom SMTP server which serves as a "webhook" handler for me to get USGS Earthquake Notification Service (ENS) notifications as well as backup success notifications from my VPS provider, since they don't provide Webhooks. So I'm basically doing it the other way around.

Maybe offering it as an experimental "no guarantees" service would be useful for many of us and give the service provider a chance to learn how to send emails from their own servers in such a way that they actually reach their destination without getting flagged as spam.

I also found no information on what happens if the Webhook endpoint is not reachable.

I like the idea of this SSL expiry checking service and the site looks nice.
Certainly we had people who thought that Japanese were more apt to side with our foe due to their being Japanese and being easy to tell apart. However as it pertains bombing, which is the discussion here, we were indiscriminate towards both. We did try to steer clear from cultural targets such as avoiding Kyoto. We did not have the same view on Dresden as it had more strategic importance. And people forget we had restrictions on Germans in the country and interned a few thousand as well though not to the extent we did Japanese. Italians on the other hand we didn't take seriously --not even sure we labeled them enemy aliens
>In the US, is it cheaper to live rurally?

Absolutely. You're probably not going to land a high-paying professional job, but there's always manual labor to be done, the cost of living is generally very low, and the lifestyle is typically healthier than in cities.

I've lived in many cities ranging from 1,400 people to 20,000,000 people, and the trend is the same everywhere I've lived. There is much less destitute poverty in small American towns, and there is much greater class mobility.

I'm sure the UK is different because it has almost 7.5 times the population density of the US. The US is huge. Most Europeans can't properly appreciate how large it is. If you go out in the countryside, even very poor people are likely to have a few acres of land that they own outright. Countryside land may be valuable in the UK, but here in the US it's dirt cheap. That's not to say wealthy people don't own rural land. I'm currently living in Texas, and it's common for the wealthy to possess a smaller urban residence and a larger rural residence, often with tens or hundreds of acres of private land. It's possible to get hundreds of acres for a few million USD.

> Even after Hirohito made the personal decision to surrender, the intention was to continue the war if the kokutai (Imperial institution and national polity) would not be preserved.

And here's where I don't understand the reasoning: Did they seriously think the kokutai would have been preserved if they had fought on? Did they seriously think the Allies would have allowed Japan to continue as it had? It seems the most obvious thing in the world to blockade and bombard the Home Islands for six to eight months, destroying farmland especially, and then engage in the beachhead assault that had already been planned.

The American Armed Forces are still using Purple Hearts made specifically for the invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. They're all new-old stock, to use the common phrase; that's how serious the plan was.
YAPF is slower than Black for many degenerate cases, a fact I notice most strongly since I use an "auto-format file on file save" extension in my editor. The case I found in particular was editing large JSON schema definitions in Python, as they're represented as deeply nested dictionaries. Black seems to format them in linear time based on the number of bytes in the file, while YAPF seems to get exponentially slower based on the complexity of the hard-coded data structure. It was a niche case, and the maximum slowdown was only ~1-2 seconds, but that editing freeze was quite annoying.
If you're interested in issues like this, you should look into why Elgin Air Force Base is the "most Reddit addicted city".

Not quite. They are two distinct business ventures linked by the operator and name. The name is irrelevant, and the operator clearly ran them as distinct entities.
Rest assured it would be officially authorized diverse/opposing views only.
> Besides, bitcoins should be considered as virtual messaging service, rather than a currency as in the traditional sense of the word.

There are many good arguments against government regulation, but this is not one. It doesn't matter what something is, it matters what you do with it.

Another common mistake is to try to reduce all rights to free speech, as if conceding that other rights do not exist.
These all seem like simple peephole optimizations to me. So why doesn't the Python compiler (and yes, Python has a compiler) do these optimizations?

(I am aware that some of these are not in fact equivalent, but at least some of them are)

On an unrelated note, the website would be easier to grok if it did diff-like highlighting of changed lines.
it looks like a distributed search for sets of values
having their sha256 starting with N zeroes, N+1, N+2 ...
with target values having property something like this
Kth value = (K-1)th || <value to find at step K>

One can only wonder where the seed money came from (and whether the current price of 50BTC x $0.25 = $12.5 per newly found value is self-sustainable in the system or still seed-funded) and
whether the NSA have a listening node in the system (as all the transactions are broadcast to all nodes).
You can't use finch instead of pidgin?
I would say that if your area is web development, your best options are the Ruby language and the Ruby on Rails framework, or the Python language and the Django framework.

You really can't go wrong with any of those.

I come from a .Net background and currently learning Ruby and Rails, and I'm impressed. Ruby is a very expressive language, not at all verbose, has good libraries and the community for the Ruby on Rails framework is impressive.

Before making the choice of what I wanted to learn myself, I spent a bit of time comparing the two and decided to go with Ruby.
> 2. What does apple.com have to do with the Beatles on iTunes? Most people I would guess access iTunes through the iTunes application.

You can link directly to a song or album within iTMS (the application) through an HTTP
URL, which happens to be rooted on a subdomain of apple.com, which then redirects you to the actual itms:// scheme URI that opens iTunes.
>So basically females that think they are supposed to do poorly at physics, but affirm they are good at something, do better than ones that have no particular preconceived notion...

So we have to tell women they're going to fail at physics because they're XX and then at the last minute say "ha ha fooled you, you're really awesome". Then we'll have a well verified strongly supported ToE by next Christmas.
I've always been offended that there's a gender gap when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. Perhaps a writing exercise could be devised that would erase the horrible, oppressive and misogynistic stereotype that prevents men from becoming pregnant and giving birth. That is necessary if we are to ever achieve true equality.

Interesting idea, but one of the uses I have for a thumb drive is to store things when I don't have access to wifi. If I have wifi then there are a myriad of other possibilities.
I wonder how these students did in their other classes? It was not even presented to the students as a physics specific event.

I am also very skeptical.
The value of it is IMHO marginal.

The value of dynamic OPML on the other hand is strictly negative, especially if it was recursive (you'd subscribe to a dynamic feed that could subscribe you to other dynamic feeds etc.) - a perfect storm of data.

There wasn't much public evidence of what J. Edgar Hoover was doing until well after the fact.

Personally, I feel the burden of proof falls on the near-omniscient spy agency that brazenly lies and reinterprets basic diction to sterilize all methods of oversight. Again, silly me.
I am from London, in the UK.

Pretty much everyone has enough calories (too many in most cases).

As for schools-of course the rich people send their children to much better schools.

Those who can't send their children to local schools. What happens there depends on how bright they are, how hard they work and how committed their parents are to education.

In the case of some ethnic groups there is a strong aversion to educating their girls properly.

None of this has much to do with poverty, emotional closeness or whatever else you claim.
We are building a community where venture capitalists and angels can inspire entrepreneurs to think about ideas.

The concept was inspired by YCombinator, who created a Requests for Startups site in September: https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/

“There are a lot of startup ideas we’ve been waiting for people to apply with, sometimes for years. In an effort to be more direct, we’re introducing the RFS (Requests for Startups).” - YCombinator

YC’s Request for Startups was a defining moment in the relationship between venture capitalists and entrepreneurs.

Rather than waiting for pitches, YC made the decision to be proactive process by telling entrepreneurs about ideas that they would be excited to fund.

Yesterday, Andreessen Horowitz followed YC’s lead by releasing their own Request for Startups - and it was a fascinating list: http://a16z.com/2015/01/22/16-th...

We believe that every venture firm, angel investor, and company should create a similar list, which is why we built Request for Startups.

We are creating a place where investors and companies can post a Request for Startups and tell entrepreneurs about concepts and verticals that they would fund or partner with.

RFS will help existing startups find the right investors for their ideas, and will also help entrepreneurs discover their next big idea. Likewise, it'll help investors manage opportunistic inbound and proprietary dealflow.

We are starting with a curated newsletter that features Request for Startups from some of the brightest investors in the world - and we have plans to create something much bigger very soon!
White people are privileged. Being privileged doesn’t imply anything about a person’s actions or beliefs. As a straight white man, I’m privileged because when I walk down the street, I don’t need to worry about men whistling at me or trying to grope me. I don’t need to worry about being detained by cops for looking “threatening” just by virtue of my skin color. I can cross the border without anyone suspecting me of forging immigration documents. I can easily get married to my partner almost anywhere in the world. I don‘t need to worry (in the workplace, or in political discourse, or just talking to strangers in the street) about being seen as an outsider, and I’m treated as an individual rather than continually judged against a stereotype.

Being privileged doesn’t have anything to do specifically with my actions, and if a gay man, or a woman, or a Latino points out that I am privileged, they are not making any claim about my beliefs, and it’s nothing personal. (And they are absolutely correct, I am privileged.)

You should not be offended when people call you privileged, unless you are sure that they are making a statement about your individual beliefs, rather than just neutral statements about the prevailing structure in the society (and then you should still try to avoid responding with anger; it’s almost never really personal). Instead of taking offense, you should try to talk to these people and understand where they’re coming from and why they’re frustrated. If you listen carefully and empathetically, you may find yourself just as outraged at the injustices in our society.
(Note: This link points to my web site, it's my story.)

You can't erase the capacity problems that cause issues like latency. Depending on your gear, however, you can shift them.

In this case, I used traffic shaping to transfer the latency to the customer that generated the traffic.

It let other customers get the normal usage that they'd paid for.

Why?

This is not meant to be mean. I really want to know. Gimp is honestly great. Coming from Photoshop the UI is a bit confusing at times, but once you figure it out it's a great piece of software.

To me, Seashore (I haven't downloaded it... just looked at docs) is just Gimp with less features. Am I missing something?
Oh yeah, the graveyard behind Google is massive. haha

Honestly, I can't recall much outside my area of expertise. There were quite a few fitness folks on there, though.

I wound up doing maybe a dozen or so "Helpouts" and it was a good experience. I still have my hoodie!
Given that we'd sunk about $300K of our own cash into the company, I don't think $750K was out of line for what we were doing, or for the VC firms we were talking to which tend to do much bigger deals.

The bigger problem was we were doing something really technical that required a lot deeper pockets, and people were nervous to invest without seeing more traction. Which is reasonable; capital isn't flowing like champagne like a lot of people seem to believe.
Appreciate it's just an MVP but I think there's a good niche you can go down. Big Data on AWS is such a pain to set-up (Glue, EMR, RedShift, LakeFormation), with IAM policies and roles a simple data pipeline is around 500 lines of YAML. Would be good if you could add native support for that, so say you have some CSV in S3 you want to convert to parquet, drop null fields, and then make shareable with another AWS account. Would solve a massive problem for me
This is joke news, right?

From the article, quoting the lawyer of one of the women being sued: "Her breasts look terrible. I mean, I hate the way she looks. She looks so bad..."

What kind of lawyer would talk like that?
> there seems to be a legitimate point in here about the difference between consoles and ordinary computers

I still can't for the life of me understand why any self respecting geek would cheer on the 'console' model as the future of mobile computing. Sure, as a developer you have to make practical decisions about which platform to develop for. But as the platform you chose to use yourself? It's like saying that you've decided to use xBox as your main environment instead of Windows/OSX/Linux.
Well, http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/os-x-109/ has the list of open sourced code from Mavericks. Let the code analysis begin, it would help everyone out.
"In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of stimuli in different ways—to reframe them in positive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”—changes how they experience and react to the stimulus. You can train people to better regulate their emotions, and the training seems to have lasting effects."

For some additional prescriptive details.
Yes, at a high enough level of wealth you don’t need to own anything other then controlling shares in a corporation.

Your spending cash is just a loan from a bank to you backed by the value of your corporation.

All major assets are held by the corporation.

A global tax of some kind is the only way to slow the divide. As the growth of wealth is finally taxed, and inflation can start to eat away at it.
Is that where "builds character" comes from?
the alternative is stakeholder capitalism. Giving workers, customers, and locals ownership in the business. I love people owning companies, but in my opinion it should be the workers and customers.

In Germany for example, large companies are obligated to have a third of their voting seats be workers. If we want to fix Uber, why not start there. Give drivers a third of the seats at the table, and make it so that the management and ownership is as diverse as the people Uber serves. Would be interesting to hear if they have disabled people in management.
Well I guess I’ll be forgetting my account creds.
