As if anyone can actually get a good enough signal to pull 100GB off the AT&T network. You have to be masochistic to use a AT&T 3G exclusively.

Also, you don't need to jailbreak to tether. I forget the details, but basically you go to a web address and install a new carrier profile and thats it.

If AT&T want to be the big boys on the block they have to invest in their network, end of story. The reason they got rid of the unlimited option is because they want to make all the money and not do a thing to improve their network.
"The union has the power to use threats of violence (at the hands of the government)"

Well, as long as it doesn't get out of hand, isn't violence violence, Western governments in general have extended their monopoly on the use of force to unions.

In the US if you have a complaint about a union engaging in violence against you (vs. individually identifiable members), it is my understanding it isn't subject to the rule of law, you have to bring it before the political NLRB instead of taking it to the courts.

WRT to your last point, unions are a conspiracy of some workers against others. Think about it, which do they hate more, "scabs" or "management"?

Anyway, imagine a world where in order to begin your startup you've got to negotiate with a union to set up a union shop with a union steward. You personally are doing (some) management as well as coding ... no can do! Etc.

> Tempo matters when you are planning out these solutions. A slow tempo uses different physical motions, and it takes a different mindset.

I can totally relate to this. I play harmonica, and what I've been working on for fun lately is the vocal parts from some Fleetwood Mac songs: Dreams, You Make Loving Fun, Gold Dust Woman, etc.

My goal is that when I play these songs, it almost sounds like Christine or Stevie singing. (Yeah, you may say, dream on! Humor me...)

Now these are not complicated vocal parts, but given my lack of musical talent, I definitely had to slow them down to learn the notes.

You might think that the vocal part for Gold Dust Woman is pretty simple, and you'd be right. But it took me quite a while playing it slowly just to learn the notes.

And that was the easy part!

I could play the notes, but they sure didn't sound like anything you'd want to listen to. I still had to practice and practice the breathing and intonation and whatever you call it that makes the instrument sing instead of just playing a bunch of notes.

I'm getting there, but man is it a lot of work. And this isn't something that can be slowed down. Can you imagine You Make Loving Fun at a slow tempo? What would that even sound like?

So it's full speed ahead with these songs, and thank you Christine, because You Make Music Fun.
In Detroit, the situation is simple and difficult. The city's population used to be much larger. The city made commitments to its then-workers based on the assumption that population and revenue would hold fast. The city's population shrank dramatically, leaving a small tax base to support huge legacy costs. End result has been a bankruptcy, cuts to city pensions, and a city that is solvent but running on a shoestring budget. The final bankruptcy resulted in the DIA maintaining its full collection and being transferred to a private nonprofit, made possible by funding from donors and the state (they basically paid the city the value of the collection, and in return, the city relinquished ownership of the DIA). All of this was accomplished by the state, which at the behest of the governor temporarily wrested control of the city's finances from city leaders and appointed an emergency manager (who, admittedly, was the one looking into selling the collection ... but with hard times come hard choices).

They are working to reduce the footprint of the city by literally plowing sections of it under, thereby reducing upkeep costs, and through this process will eventually end up with a physically smaller city that is financially feasible given the current taxbase (fun fact- you can buy a decent fixer upper house in Detroit for less than the cost of a used car, due to massive oversupply). Outside of Detroit proper, the surrounding areas have fared much better.
I don't even bother reading string theory articles even physics articles for that matter. They are just filled with useless analogies that don't make anything clear.

I have started Rippetoe's strength training program in April 2010, and it works nicely, but it did not affect my sleep.

(Although on days when I don't exercise I sometimes have a harder time falling asleep. Especially when I have just picked up caffeine on that day again.)
Good deal, but I prefer the larger screen for textbooks/reference material which is where you get the most use out of the Kindle. Paperbacks I generally get at the library or used book stores for a buck, reference books I buy and keep.

In fact, note taking are a fairly effective learning strategy. Whether you read a book or learn a new language, it all pays off if you write down the new information correctly. In this article, you can find out why this is so important: https://ivypanda.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-...
It matters, sure, especially if there are great alternatives handy that really do spend much less resources for much more benefit AND working on the example at hand rules out alternatives. But without those qualifiers, it is a weak line of reasoning. It's pretty rare that we can attack a social problem only one way at a time.

Is it a reasonable argument to say that the USA's carbon emissions do not need to be worried about, because the USA does not emit more carbon than anyone else? China produces about 40% more carbon than the USA.
I don't remember what the exact number was (maybe 75mph) but I had a rental for a business trip out west somewhere--maybe Arizona--and it turned out the car had a governor set to whatever the number was--which at the time was presumably significantly over a lot of speed limits but was right at the speed limit where I was driving. It was very annoying as the car would suddenly drop the throttle and slow down. Only time I've ever seen that though there may be governors set to speeds I just don't hit in other cases.
Interesting, but that is about novels written on a cell phone.

Would you feel the same way if you didn't wake up and you missed it? This is not some two bit web app and there are plenty of people that can't manage to make those work.

Instead of being irritated the lesson to learn here is that it is better to abort 10 times than to blow up in mid-air even once.
Nah, we've had Stripe since 2013. Added Shopify billing in 2016 (which was a nightmare using their old API). We'll be too small for an exemption/wire transfer method.
Smart people don't use force to get paid. They usually obtain a pay rise through offering a better product,not through extortion scams (public sector workers striking).

FOSS blocks ads and third-party cookies by default, all cookies can be blocked. If you really want to go minimalist, try links running in Termux on your phone. I have nothing against Mozilla making money to pay their developers (or for profit). However, as the user of their products I obviously have the right to decide when the experience of using their products has become so annoying that I choose something else.
> It breaks my heart how few people in HN appreciate/understand BTC.

Isn't bitcoin nowadays a big pump-and-dump scheme where a hand full of collosal industrial players manipulate the market at will?

Hey! Just want to say kudos for your work. I've been flirting with using Lua for some projects, and from my research, I feel like Lua as a language and an ecosystem is widely underappreciated. Teal seems well thought out and something that might pull more devs to the Lua space.
There's an analogous argument to be made about every $BigCo though. People's perceptions of these, and of how the community relates to them, are hugely conditioned by their pre-existing feelings.
> Early adopters bought their way out of taxation

I wouldn't phrase it that way because it's not what they did, even if decades down the road it turned out that way (it could well have gone the other way like it did for homeowners in Detroit years ago).

What they did was buy a home they could afford, based on monthly mortgage + taxes payments, which is the entirely reasonable and responsible thing to do.

Having the property tax balloon out of control and out of any conceivable affordable range due to actions of other people in the area, is hardly fair.
The Pinkertons have been fighting workers for more than a century, I'm sure Amazon is disappointed Pinkertons can no longer gun down troublesome workers without consequences.
It keeps it open as long as it is used and usually a bit past that. So if you have any traffic or are making periodic requests then it won't close the connection. If you are using SSE that can also use the same shared connection for streaming realtime updates to the client.
They sure do! You can tag anyone, not just users!
Your analogy is off: if you suggested that government officials sent police offers with instructions on how to vote it'd be closer to what is the case when an employer instructs its employees to do something work related (vote "no" on the union, in this case).
I'll be completely honest... you're mostly screwed. I say this with full love in my heart.

Your best bet is to use Amazon and then leverage their ELB offering with sticky routing. HOWEVER, now you have a new problem as capacity dies, gets removed, cycled, added, etc. Sticky routing was designed with the assumption that it was an efficiency play as opposed to a deterministic play.

What you will see happen is that your internal state will be split brain, and people joining the chat will not be globally consistent. Some people will be on host X while some will be on host Y. So, you have two choices.
You could use a database to provide the global state, at which point now you have a whole bunch of problems. You can start with polling the database, and the key advantage of the websocket is moving the polling from client to server, so that will be a win for users. However, it will cost you. Second, you could introduce a message broker, but then you have the problem of how to initialize the state. Ultimately, everyone ends up with a hybrid database for storage and message broker for real-time.

In your model, the database becomes like Slack, and your Server becomes a proxy. This could be super neat, but what is the value-add of the Server?

The interesting thing to observe is that the solution is how to turn your front-end app into a database like thing. If the load balancer could route traffic like a database traffic controller thing, then you can put all your state in the front-end and move crazy fast. However, you will move so fast that you will fuck up your state. State is VERY HARD and exceptionally unforgiving to manage yourself.

There is great wisdom in using a database with versioning and all that. It’s a great abstraction having lasted so long. I’m working on the state bits and trying to figure out the people side of discipline with my silly language, and I have some novel contributions to provide over the coming years.

There are some linked pdfs on http://www.adama-lang.org/blog/some-thinky-thoughts-2021 which may provide some more insight.
Okay, so I'm not crazy. Phew.
It's the current W3C view of standards. Also

* of course we have multiple implementations of python: CPython, PyPy, IronPython...

* Python isn't a W3C standard, nor does it aim to be one.
I'm running it right now. It's great when it just works, but that's rare in my experience, especially when it comes to video drivers.

I'm praying for the light of gaben to descend upon the driver ecosystem and make *nix gaming a thing.
I agree with alot of the authors criticism's.

Julia's sweet spot seems to be anyone who needs to do statistical work who also has an existing C ABI based environment.

The ability to seamlessly plug in Julia to your production system via C code is a boon for those of us who have to use R in an "offline" capacity and then feed data to production systems.

The downside of alot of the Julia posts is that its not R. R, for better and worse, has many years of bug fixing and library design behind it.

I have yet to stump cran (http://cran.r-project.org/) when looking for a library and after 5+ years of using R I still am amazed that I can learn some new ability that ggplot can do.

My advice to people who ask what language to use is always, I think Julia is still a bit too early on to use unless you already know what code you want to write and are using a C based enviroment.

The reason is that most programmers just want to get one task done. They aren't an expert on the mathematical domain they are trying to use, they just want to plug their values into a library and get their results and maybe print them in a nice format. With Julia I still run into issues too often where you have to second guess the langugage or library and if you aren't fully sure that your math is right you tend to assume you are wrong:)

Otherwise use R. It just works and it will make googling for answers much easier.

EDIT replaced jvm with C ABI. Not sure how I made that big of a typo:(.
Although I find it interesting how Ocamlers only rarely reach for the OOP bits of the language. I think that this is in part due to the powerful module system that language has.
Good for you! When I tried the test last week, the installation instruction was outdated, so that became my first contribution to Nim. :) I suspect most of your baffling cases are simply the case of outdated documentation.
I'll add http://pike.lysator.liu.se/ to that list of "unknown" languages - It's my go-to language for doing simple prototyping.
You'll have more success if you use the 'Show HN' format. See https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
This. At my old job we had a repository of résumés which management used to promote the company and the people working there.

The repository was full of nice-looking and sometimes funny (in a good way) résumés. One of them even had a nice xkcd comic (http://xkcd.com/378/).

Then the company started to attract bigger customers, and these customers had their own HR departments. The next month, all résumés had to be resubmitted, no formatting, no images, table-based two-column layout.

It took the fun out of an already boring document.

The company I currently work for never asked my résumé, they saw a talk I gave at a conference, they knew my public contributions, and asked me to join them for one day. That was enough to convince them, as it should be.
Yes, there's a workaround, but that's not the point. So many layers of cruft in the early days of a language is worrisome. It took C++ two decades to dig itself into a hole this deep.

Is this the price of not having exceptions?
The 6+ is awkward to hold and almost impossible to use one-handed, but for me, the bigger screen and longer battery life (almost double) more than offset the shortcomings of the form factor.

It also seems to have louder speakers than any iPhone I've compared it with. (now if they would just add another speaker on the top end to get stereo when watching movies or playing games).
This article shows the true value of innovation over time in saving time, money, and effort.
You overestimate how consistently and thoroughly people read HN.
So, the main point of this article to avoid that site, is that they could google SHA256 for a known simple number, namely "11111111111" and boom!, this way the site programmer would reverse back to know your number?

If that's the case I suggest he would google Bitcoin's SHA256 numbers too. Heck, at ~55k USD per bitcoin, he would become, literally, multimillionaire overnight. What a buffoon! And it hit HN top as well, pfff.
This is like your bank saying it's not their fault your money was stolen because someone took it away without permission. The point is that Facebook has a responsibility to keep the data you provide them secure. But the purpose of this press release is to make this responsibility seem either trivial or nonexistent.

You can show them that this responsibility is paramount. Stop giving them your data.
>It's not a conspiracy when it's all out in the open. Calling things you don't like a conspiracy theory to discredit them is a poor form of argument.

This statement would work better if that's what I was doing, but I'm not.

You (and nobody else) on this thread knows for sure what's going on there, and if Moxie's been advising MobileCoin for years I don't see how it falls under a handshake deal.

There is nothing to indicate that he, or Signal, are directly profiting from this, other than some MobileCoin people saying they want to donate to Signal (which is a good thing - I'm really not bothered by that particular point).
Moving the bodies themselves seems to be an issue, and I expect there would be awkwardness about allowing farming where there had been a cemetery for perceived health reasons, but there have certainly been cases of repurposing cemeteries. Pioneer Park in San Diego, while having a scan few recent articles about how it was probably a bad idea, didn't seem to cause a huge controversy: the city took an old cemetery in disrepair, took out most of the markers, put up a little memorial in the corner, and turned the rest into parkland. The primary school right next to it, at least when I went there, even used it occasionally for classes, though I expect that has stopped for perceived security reasons.
First time I saw one I was sceptical but tempted. After a few you realise how obvious it is. (I am assuming a 419 scam is along the lines of the Nigerian prince wants to send you money - I haven't heard the term before).
I believe the Pantheon dome was, not sure about the Parthenon though. But it's definitely very old. A lot older than some people realise I think. But yes, not disagreeing that it can be beautiful. I've seen many beautiful concrete sculptures, but I don't think it's the first thing that springs to mind for many.
Read TFA - it's not just that Amazon is encouraging workers to vote no, they've set up mailboxes on-site that they're encouraging people to send their ballots with, making union organizers wary that Amazon is trying to keep tabs on who votes, even though it's supposed to be anonymous.

"Such admissions can arise, for example, when an employee takes a polygraph tests as part of a renewal of a security clearance."

I also want more internal checks than "hoping the bad actors can't fool polygraph examiners".
They build better software. They are both strong contributors individually, and strong team members. Better is relative to whatever the purpose of that software is. If it needs to be fast, it is. If it needs to be secure, it is. If it needs to be made quickly, it is.
As a Linux user I can relate to that. I always avoid spaces in folders and filenames as they make it more annoying to manipulate them using command line tools. Years later I carried this habit to whatever OS I am using.

They're both hosted on USA-based services, they both have proper encryption on the client and apply it also to calls and video calls. There is no significant difference to me in terms of privacy.

Usability is slightly different, yes, and you might also trust Signal more because they do better PR (they say outright that they're from the USA and get money from Facebook, while Wire has devs in Berlin and claims to be a German company, while taking money from USA investors... which imo comes down to the same thing), or you might trust Wire more because they were actually audited at all.

Modern high refresh rate displays (100/120/144 Hz) come in VA and IPS flavors and good ones are factory calibrated to UltraSharp levels as well. 2560x1440 monitors are the sweet spot in terms of price to performance.

Linters should be frustatingly non-general. They should alert for the common case and special cases should have a "#[allow(xxx)]" or "#pragma warning disable xxx" (or whatever does that in your language) and, possibly, a comment.
