Rumor is that the NEX FF will not be much larger than a current NEX-7. The Sony RX1 is also a good example of how small you can make a fullframe mirroless camera.
i dont think the number of results equates to the number of people who were unhappy with the iPad but are now supporters.

also, i think noteworthy is the converse of the searched statement - "i was right about the iPad" only produces 9 results
Does anyone else think that this also seems to work with one eye closed?
This is great stuff -- we're adding .ssh/config automation to the next major rev of https://Userify.com (we're still in beta/MVP mode but coming out soon) so that you can automate each user's .ssh/config on the jumpbox/bastion based on the nodes/clusters that each user can log into. This same mechanism could be used to deploy .ssh/config on your Mac/Linux box.. but this is a really cool trick. wonder if it could be added to Userify somehow..
borgia doesn't look like a troll to me. TeMPOraL replied to the thread that the Russia banned the US from using its engines in military applications. borgia thanked TeMPOraL for the additional information on the topic. Seems like a legit and civilized conversation to me.

You'd like Threema.
Considering that this has nothing to do with actual repository readmes, and instead about the github feature where you can have a `README.md` file for your profile, I doubt this would have any weight in your decision at all :)
Yes. It's pretty simple to insert a stub module which is imported in a try/catch, where failure to load results in a warning.
It sounds like you're describing a traditional mobile home. That part is already "solved". The other stuff is site specific - well, septic, solar, etc. Perhaps there is a market for setting up sites, but the site development items are so unique to each site in an off-grid dispersed scenario. The actual house part is readily available though, full specs and all.
If understand Dennis Ritchie's explanation [1] correctly, he started with a compiler for the B language, itself written in B, and modified it to accept a somewhat different language, which he called C.

Before the B compiler written in B, there was a B compiler written in something else. I couldn't figure out what from that document.

I think a better example might be:

1. 10% chance of returning 100%, 90% chance of 0%

2. 90% chance of returning 10%, 10% chance of 0%

Same expected value in year 1, but totally different proposition. And, with compounding returns, the expected value over time is very different.
Well that makes one of us who can live without Dropbox.

Drew would have to kill a baby panda with an elephant tusk for me to even begin thinking about switching.

I think pg was just creating a vivid image, so its factual truth is irrelevant.

I'm nonplussed at how often pg sums up my own views. One cause is that the books I read about startups are based on SV stories - while pg talks to the people who actually did them, batches of startups who are currently doing them, and he's in the story himself. Also, I've likely read some of what he's read (e.g. The Innovator's Dilemma).

So, I find YC lore very helpful, because of the truths it contains. But citing it purely as lore (without understanding it) would probably count as a severe negative. I'm not sure about the case of providing an alternative expression of the same idea, especially if pg's is more succinct/appropriate - but it's always helpful to speak the same dialect as your audience, if only for communication.
You're really not getting it, are you? I never said ZFS was the problem, as you seem to think. I'm just saying it's not the solution either. It's a crappy solution, failing to protect against host failures and creating myriad problems in provisioning around the fact that each VM's storage is stranded on one node until it's explicitly copied somewhere else. And if you don't think there are decent distributed filesystems out there, you're just not keeping up with the field and shouldn't be commenting on it.
What exactly is "core facebook"?
For any authors reading - how do royalty rates compare for paper books, international paper editions, ebooks and subscriptions on things like safari? Maybe people are buying books through mediums that make lesser money for the author? Also maybe people are buying more used books ? (I regret to say that I mostly buy used books)
Are teams allowed to audio (or video?) record their own interviews, to evaluate after?
Sure, but we think it's possible to "prepare" those videos on the client site before uploading.
That's odd, I didn't take it as condescending at all. She made similar jokes on herself:

"I’ve been a good girl this year."

Seems like you would have to control for productivity in order incorporate experience into the comparison.

Hiring a more educated or experienced person for a job in which their education or experience doesn't lead them to be more productive in that particular position is just inefficiency. On the other hand if their experience leads them to be more efficient in their job then it would make sense to pay them more.

I can totally agree with you that you have to be pretty careful when drawing conclusions from these sorts of studies.

Personally I would be pleasantly surprised to read an accurate study that showed that the government was more efficient with its payroll than the private sector. I'm not going to hold my breath though.
I don't need to read a story on mediocrity, since I'm already living it! :-)
How many people do you think will actually use this?

I just really cannot ever see mass use of azure and visual studio in the web ecosystem. The people writing nodejs code are all using vim and unix, and you're asking them to give up their workflow and change operating systems. I want to be able to poke around in bash. (edited back in)

Sure, some people new to web programming might go this route. But the next big web framework certainly will be on unix first. MS is now in this perpetual state of trying to keep up, and I just can't imagine why anyone serious about web programming wouldn't be on *nix.
Why should Comcast care whether Netflix pays their ISP or not? Either way, someone's trying to give them data for free.

And Netflix has its own CDN, which wants to connect directly to last-mile ISPs. In that setup, they aren't paying anyone other than the end ISP.

>When a Comcast customer uses their Comcast internet connection to use Netflix, or Google, or HN, or any other site, it is that customer who is using Comcast's bandwidth. It is not Netflix, Google, or HN using it.

This is pointless semantics. If I send you something, we can either call it me using the bandwidth, or you using it. Doesn't change my point here.
Did you have a point or were you just posting to feel superior to strawman fat people?
I use it on a regular basis to connect to industrial networks. Wireless is not typically available in that situation and for good reason.
That's essentially loyal wingman.
I don't know what it means to live in a "right to work" state. I assume that means that everyone has a right to reasonably paid employment?

I don't understand how this situation could come to be. What if there were no employers? That situation can only occur if there are enough jobs to maintain gainful employment of every citizen of the state. In such a situation I would likely only remain around as long as there was work willing to pay me what I need to maintain a lifestyle to which I was attracted.

I left Kamloops, BC in 2001 because the only jobs available there sucked (in my eyes). I was frowned upon as a snob because I turned down 3 union jobs which appeared to be the pinnacle of success in Kamloops at the time. I couldn't understand why that seemed to be the height of ambition there. I moved to Vancouver Island in the hope of better. I loved it there, but I left there in 2004, because again the only jobs available had shit pay and I couldn't afford any kind of enjoyable lifestyle. Now I live outside Toronto and enjoy a much more financially comfortable lifestyle... at the cost of an almost complete lack of scenery admittedly. I've never been one to stick around when the economic situation wasn't viable. I couldn't see myself sticking around in a "right to work" state if that's what it meant. I don't really see how it would change my opinion either.
> All the "saved space" in Apple laptops become amazingly wasted space in your bag with tons of adapters and wires.

A good dock solves this- it's not mobile, but I find that I'm not really that productive when I'm travelling anyways.

I only wish that docking solutions became standard offerings with the laptops that skimp on ports.
Hey, please correct this disinformation, its not a good look. Unaccompanied minor immigrants without documentation are safeguarded in facilities now, not jailed in cages.
I disagree that tooling makes up for the lack of human readability in a binary protocol. One of the reasons text-based protocols are so convenient to debug is that you can generally still read them when one side is screwing up the protocol. tcpdump: “oh, there’s my problem” Custom analyzer: “protocol error”

That recessed port trick is something I've thought about every time I snag my Logitech universal receiver on my laptop bag. Only difference is that USB-C puts that idea on steroids.
Education: http://www.rumie.org/

Rumie is a Canadian non-profit who makes $50 tablets containing built-in educational contents to make education more accessible for kids from the developing countries. These tablets have a long battery life and they only need to be connected to the Internet once every couple of months to update the content.

I believe they're also working on creating a community to produce more open sourced educational content for kids. They also don't go out and "sell" their product; they only work with organizations who come to them believing that the tablet is suitable for the intended community.

I'm not affiliated with them but learned about them at a conference last year and thought what they were doing is pretty awesome. I could've remembered some details wrong though so check out their site yourself.
"In those days, a startup wasn't a guy who paid some overseas software shop to crank out an MVP to run on a couple of cloud instances hoping to be the next WhatsApp"

Don't really have an opinion on the rest of the essay but I do hate this when I see it.
Thanks for your comments, I want to reply all but it's taking me time. First some facts.

I live and work remotely from Bolivia, work in Odesk and I mainly a Wordpress/PHP Developer but I have experience with Django and Sysadmin.

I will reply all the comments, I'm feeling better emotionally reading your ideas, and yea Probably I'm being optimistic.

:)
For internet transactions a lot of ppl use payment from they internet banks. Debit cards are mainstream.
As the other commenter said, you definitely want the db on a different server. Hosting the database on your application servers is generally a terrible idea as the DB will starve for resources.

I'm not in anyway sure why would want a VPN in this case as it's "Virtual Private Network." Are you trying to anonymize it or protect it from some sort of local authority? I don't care either way, I just can't figure out the VPN deal.

Maybe you're talking about setting an "upstream" connection to proxy requests to? That is to say, you want to set up a load balancer so you can distribute requests amongst many app servers?

If you can give us more details on the environment (web server, app server, or your end goal) I'm sure someone here will be happy to fill in the blanks.
Mobile is actually highly demanded today. Our “friend” company (one owing a lot of contract-locked money to ours) just drowns in complex reports and tries to move everything on iphone, like round pie charts, bar graphs, etc. Their business is too complex to manage on a desktop screen. Right now it requires one of our directors to be present at theirs office full-time, resolving all contract conflicts and accounting errors, but once charts will be done (by me apparently), it will be much easier for them to control the flow of the money and other shit to take profit.

Single data point, but sure it’s frequent. Businesses need a breath of fresh air or something like that, you know. Old methods don’t work.
If you actually care about that—as opposed to complaining for the sake of it—you shouldn’t be allowing new software to establish outgoing connections without your consent anyway.

So if you actually did care, you the user would know because your operating system alerted you.

Nagging everyone to comply with your interpretation of “the right thing” might feel good to you, but it’s actually a very weak and porous form of security theatre.

This is a known and old dupe, as well as being intentionally derogatory
and inflammatory. The rule for stories that are critical of YC, critical
of YC funded companies, or critical of the people involved with YC, is
to let the stories stay on HN to prevent the unfortunately common but
entirely unfounded accusations of censorship. Knowing that the folks at
YC want to prevent false accusations of censorship is the only reason
why I'm not going to flag this poor and duplicate story into obscurity.

Though I won't flag it, I do take offense to the endless repostings of
this flame war inciting crap. Here are the previous submissions of this

You can always remove CNNIC from your own trust store. Saying they should be removed from all trust stores would rather annoy people actually in China, I'd assume.

I wonder if certificate transparency could be mandated for intermediate certificates sooner than a full DV rollout could. It seems some CAs can't quite resist bending the rules when a sweet contract is dangled in front of their faces. It makes me wonder how much CNNIC was being paid to do this. Given that MCS Holdings sells "security products" it makes me wonder if this was an attempt to do or prepare to do bulk SSL stripping. I guess the blog post says there was no evidence of abuse though, so I guess not.
JLE? Or JLS? If you mean the spec (JLS) then I agree, you can find everything there. Including what I wrote above - that "Java object references" are the same thing as "Java pointers" (both in the JLS). The JLS also describes parameter passing in excruciating detail, and it matches the definition of "pass-by-value" (not "pass-by-reference") exactly.

But if people in this thread could read and understand the JLS, this thread wouldn't exist. Since it does, some of us feel like we should contribute and correct the false statements we see.
The main issue, as I noted, is people who come from other languages and have preconceived notions about what "pass by value" and "pass by reference" mean and preconceived expectations about language behavior as a result.

In Python, worrying about whether it's "pass-by-X" paradigm is practically worthless; instead, what you want to know in Python is which types are mutable.
I think the economic notion of "rationality" actually gets a lot less credit than it deserves. While there are definitely situations in which consumers do not behave rationally (in the economic sense), they are relatively few and far between.

There are lots of situations in which consumers do not behave according to an observer's (non-economic) notion of "rationally". This is rarely a failure of economic rationality, and much more often a failure of the observer to understand the consumer's notion of utility or cost (or both).
Untrusting CNNIC wouldn't really "fix" it. There are hundreds of trusted CAs, and any of them could do something like this.
The writing style on this post is so bad I almost didn't make it to the end. Random distracting comments and grammar that looks like Google translate... Fortunately I was so curious about the attack I plowed through.
Alternative, real life scenario: navigate through 6 months of daily MySQL dumps, assorted YAML files and Rails production.log, looking for some cross product between tables, requests and serialised entities, for analysis and/or data recovery (pinpoint or retrieval).

zcat/cut/sed/grep/awk/perl crawled through it in a couple of minutes and required less than half an hour to craft a reliable enough implementation (including looking up relations from foreign keys straight from the SQL dumps).

My colleagues, who still don't get the point of a command line, would still be restoring each dump individually and running SQL requests manually to this day (or more probably declare it "too complex" and mark it as a loss). Side note: I'm torn between leaving this place where nobody seems to understand the point of anything remotely like engineering or keeping this job where I'm obviously being extremely useful to our customers.
Great software is that which solves your business problem.

If not "punt to a human", what's the solution? We've already seen that giving users a free-form text box is a cure worse than the disease. Do you analyze every country's address scheme and make a dynamic form that covers all the cases? (worse IMO - it's not going to cover all the cases, and it's going to be even more infuriating for users when it goes wrong. See the Jersey example in another comment) Some wizard solution that I can't think of? Saying this approach is "lazy" is all well and good, but do you have a positive proposal?
I don't know either, but it looks like the transcripts are initially generated from speech recognition (text dump + timing meta data?) and then hand-edited/annotated by a producer.

They'd add punctuation, sound cues, fix spelling, annotate the speakers (e.g. name + host, subject, or interviewer). Then that data's got to go somewhere...

It looks pretty labor intensive. I sure hope they have great tools!
It's brave because it's talking very honestly about something very personal.

I don't know whether I'd say it's beautiful, but it's definitely well written.

It's cynical, but that's also part of why it's funny.

And of course it's attention seeking. All writing is?
I didn't downvote you. I actually think I probably agree with your point(s). And I'm exactly the liberal populist kind of guy who perfectly fits into the most sympathetic of audiences. But I have trouble trying to understand your point(s) because they seem to meander a bit, almost like you're trying to say too much with too few sentences. And the comment starts off with a paternalistic tone and with an quasi-insult.

It looks like there could be really good information in there - I'd love to give it an upvote if it were unpacked a bit, and cited and argued more clearly.
BTW, if you're interested there are DNA tests where for under $100 you can find out the breed or mix of breeds you've got.
Again.

This is really starting to feel like a weekly occurrence. I use a few services to scale up and down my job workers so when this happens I end up with a huge back log and processing issues on time sensitive jobs.

They still more than make up for the hassle with the other time I save so I'm not going anywhere yet but this is getting ridiculous.
It's pretty ridiculous that device manufacturers don't include them.
Came to post the same thing. Some of them are still on the web if you search, for example Paul Bourke's tiling page is now hosted on his own domain: http://paulbourke.net/texture_colour/tilingplane/
Yes. This would be extremely helpful for experimentalists who spend a lot of their time pointing out, for example, that one's new theory can't violate the equivalence principle by very much at all. Similarly, it would be helpful for people planning new experiments to know whether or not their proposed experiment will probe new ground (i.e. CERN's anti-hydrogen experiments are of intense value for spectroscopic studies, but existing experiments [1] show that antimatter, at the 10^-8 level or better, obeys the equivalence principle and therefore will reliably fall in every experiment of which CERN is capable.).

As a sibling comment points out, it is difficult to implement the markup that spans the space of all possible theories. Kostelecky's parametric Standard Model Extension offers one avenue to do so.

One could implement such a test as a checklist, too, which might already make a difference.

Exactly, there are other things that might get you shown the door on the spot like considering leaving to start your own business.

Once had someone think I was going to compete with them and worried I was taking inside info to help myself. Showed up one day and one of the partners met me in the parking lot with a box full of my stuff. Funny how business can screw up friendships.
If IBM had a clue the first flavor on their list would be Amazon Linux.

(yes, I know it's a RHEL derivative, but I also know some large fraction of 'developers' are oblivious to these matters, which is why no one hesitated to list 'CentOS' when that still made sense.)
They are right to have concerns.

There was an island where they used poison to kill all the mosquitoes because it was a big problem. All the mosquitoes dies and then all the things that ate the mosquitoes died.

And then all the things that ate things that ate mosquitoes died. And it went through a few more layers of this, like some modern day version of the Biblical plagues.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. It just means it is correct to not take the decision lightly.

(Unfortunately, I've never found a good write up of this true story on the internet. I read it long ago back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I had a bright yellow rotary phone and got information printed on dead trees.)
I keep listening to that while falling asleep, but the moments where I'm still awake are quite informative

If you go on Facebook and say "Hey, I'm going to go shoot up a school on twitch tomorrow", then Twitch can ban you. Previously, it was unclear that this was bannable because it didn't occur on site.

Phrasing this as an argument against "Cancel Culture" is the ultimate moral hand-wringing. There is nothing even closely resembling what you're talking about in this change. This is no slippery slope. This is just the obvious result of people realizing that the internet is real life.

Unfortunately, the Gödel number of a proposition does not

represent the order of the proposition.

Consequently, the [Gödel 1931] proposition I'mUnprovable

cannot be constructed in foundations because the Diagonal

Lemma used in [Gödel 1931] does not work for propositions

with orders.

Provability Logic is built on the

existence of the proposition I'mUnprovable :-(
I wonder if having a bias toward adding things provides an evolutionary edge when the situation gets gnarly and you're starting with nothing working.
