Nobody was ever doing that. The image in question was a crafted example of what someone imagines is possible.

Data caps aren't necessary from a technical sense, no. But net neutrality supporters remain stubbornly ignorant of what they actually do: They raise prices for heavy users, rather than raising prices for everyone else. It's simply a fairer method of offering pricing brackets.

Artificially limiting network speed is intentional crippling of service. Rather than pay for "very slow service", "slow service", or "fast service", providers should give everyone the best possible service their network is capable of... and then charge us for how heavily you use it.

Basically, by fighting data caps, you're demanding that a grandma who only checks their email once a day has to pay as much as a family of four who streams Netflix in 4K every waking hour of the day.
Sure there are, you just have to meet some requirements like direct deposit and minimum number of debit transactions.
See the post just above you.
She's wrong to imply that if only SolarWinds had followed her iPad password policy, the attack would have been stopped. And she's mistaken about Orion's use case, which has nothing to do with email security.

And while Russia conducted this attack, I'm tired of the Russian scarecrow: SolarWinds' job here has nothing to do with Russia.

But mostly I'm jaded by ambitious SoCal pols neglecting their districts to score easy points on national issues.
Yeah, I think it's more that people can't justify what I'd call luxury pricing for hardware right now. I'm not aware of any significant failures in the M1 design to suggest that Apple screwed up hard at least.

When things turn around, I'd expect Apple to pick back up pretty well. I'm not an Apple owner nor a fan, but I definitely have an interest in watching the evolution of these since they're the first real rival to x86 in a long time.

There's a real possibility I'll end up going to a future Apple, Microsoft (since they're looking into doing their own ARM chips now as well), or some other ARM architecture in the next 10 years if Intel and AMD can't keep x86 ahead. It looks like Intel already lost with almost no hope of getting back into a competitive position, so AMD's what I'm watching closest on that side.

Also, look, before anyone downvotes me for being Anti-Intel(tm), I just want to say that I'm going to remain skeptical until Intel can do 2-3 generations of good chips in succession without dropping the ball hard. Zen has two or three generations of good improvement showing up, and Intel might have ONE generation with the newest chips coming out but that doesn't mean they'll keep it up.

If Intel does that, I'll keep them in consideration. Until that point.. well, I'm just going to remain skeptical and cautious.
To me, that picture looks like baby turtles going towards the sea, probably a well-known phenomenon even back then
Are you sure you're including the amortized lifetime cost of whatever you had to do / whatever you will have to do to troubleshoot Linux resume-from-disk?

I kid, but I do use Linux, it's just a Linux that doesn't even offer hibernate and boots cold in one second: ChromeOS.

Sure, I can see "low stakes plus human review" sounds doable but not that much a evolute from "no stakes".
There is a huge difference between knowing syntax and being able to write code. I have even seen senior developers write very convoluted code because they couldn't break down the problem in its simplest components.

I would say that the ability to write good code is related to problem solving capacity and intelligence.
Hey, question... Is an LD_PRELOAD version of cosmopolitan possible?
Some friends and I have been discussing this. There is a current regime in the UAE (not just Dubai) that has established a free trade zone that costs approximately several thousand USD to incorporate and set up shop, including basement prices for established visa(s) for you and a small group of employees.

I have received an email. If I have time later I will dig around to find the link to an official website from UAE commercial authorities.

Beware though, the GCC is notorious for renegging any niceness when you cause them unniceties.
It would be extremely helpful to know what the company you wish to form does. If it's product-based that's very different from service-based... and if it's an intangible product that'll be very different from a tangible one.

If not legally, in practice. With the nomadic piece, you have a certain amount of momentum that makes it hard to pinpoint your origin, so you might be giving up freedoms by putting a flag in the ground when you don't need to.
For what it's worth (very little, since it's a medical anecdote shared online), my wife had a nasty case of hives for the first time in her life after trying a sarecycline treatment. Took us quite a while to connect the dots, though, and to this day we don't know if it was really what caused it (or stress, or the fact that she took 3 different vaccines on the same day, or everything combined)

All of that is to suggest that you think about what you have changed about your diet, medication or anything else either in May or shortly before that
32MB DRAM and 8MB flash.
There are two kind of emails. One that converts into actionable point , and the other that goes nowhere.

I have found that the best way to get action is to give the reader a choice...

Poor: Let me know when you want to get together.

Good: What time on Friday should I stop by?

Best: I can be in your neighborhood at either 11 am or 2 pm on Friday. Which is better?

I'm not sure why this works so much better, but I have a theory. This infers that my schedule is filling up. If one time is better than the other (which is almost always the case), then the reader would want his preferred time slot before it's gone. Scarcity and choice and 2 good motivators.
Theodore Rubin, in "Overcoming Indecisiveness" wrote:

"The Big Fact is this: In very few instances is one decision actually better than another.

"In the majority of issues, almost any choice can be converted into a constructive decision."

His point is not to waste time and energy dithering - it is the commitment to making a decision work that is most important. Just substitute "idea" for "choice".
"The math follows from the basic assumptions made about nature."

I disagree. Most physicists have expressed great surprise that math, which has nothing to do with the physical world, is so good in explaining it.
Judging from the URL, probably the website code.
To call it gluttony is insulting to those who work 50+ hours a week, can barely get by, and yet are still overweight. Food is not a significant part of cost of living in the US, especially if you eat poorly. The paradox is that eating poorly actually ends up being gluttonous if we're looking at it from a health standpoint.

But many of the people you're insulting do not have the luxury of eating healthy meals and going for 30 minute runs every other day.
The timezone is an issue. I'd prefer to see the times in my timezone rather than South Africa.
It makes sense that this surfaces 1 week after reformatting my Ubuntu box to use OpenSolaris and native ZFS.

Also of note:

This ZFS on Linux port was produced at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) under Contract No. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the operation of LLNL. It has been approved for release under LLNL-CODE-403049.
There should be more people like him/her who are willing to put time in answering questions about their specialty, although some may be unexplainable to the general public. For another excellent example of such a guy, see Terence Tao.
If you wait long enough it goes away, but yeah I agree I didn't bother reading due to the ad.
Big Five personality traits have a decent association with social class (1). I think what the map is showing is that the social class split is uneven in Britain.

Positive association with higher social class: Extraversion, Opennes and especially Conscientiousness.

Negative association with higher social class: Neuroticism, Agreeableness.

Alt+Shift+Enter in VS is full-screen mode, which removes most if not all floating windows as well.
In the last few years, for various reasons, I've been through Google Apps, Zoho, back to Google Apps, Outlook.com, now Fastmail.

After 6 weeks I can say that Fastmail is by far the best and I'm sad I didn't try them sooner. The only thing that's missing (IMO) is Exchange-compatible push email (you can do push if you use their app, but if you want to use another app it's POP or IMAP pull). The interface is lightening fast, as is sending and receiving email, and their blog shows a great technical understanding of their product (and it's based in my hometown so happy to support local businesses!)
I was tempted to think the same thing, but I'd assume his work with the government will not actually involve coding.

It will involve driving adoption of web technology, which WordPress has done incredibly well.

I'd also say that WordPress has/had a rotten core of code, and it's now 11 years old. This guy has only been working on it for 5. If you inherit a code base like that and make huge strides forward, people will still judge you without seeing how much you've cleaned it up. So unless you look at the code base before and after him, you can't judge his engineering skills.
These things need to come with example inputs. I kinda wanna see what it can do, but not enough to make up stuff to fill out all those forms.
Love the story! Honestly I often stare at the loading icon until the favourite icon is fully loaded.
That's exactly it - this site is run to help people sort good investors from bad. How many YC funded companies have said that they regret it? (Probably not many that would post on here, but how many overall?)
Selection bias. The people most likely to respond are those who have more than "no" to say.
In practice in properly implemented systems all requests and responses are screened against blacklist and with special sensitivity detection model.
I totally disagree. The whole market sold off both times GME squeezed, then popped back as GME receded. Bonds did the same this week. I could be wrong, but this tells me that people on the short side had to liquidate positions in order to maintain margin. I don't know any retail investors who can move the ten year. The fact that PFOF brokerages are the ones that halted buying tells you something about the nature of the buyers.
Is it just me or are none of these related to incognito mode? Is the title just bait?

Yeah, but most cities aren't global commerce centers, and the ones that are take up relatively little area compared to the total planet.

We could lose most of the cities on earth with largely local impact. NYC would be a problem, but what about Buffalo? Even most national capitals aren't that important globally.
Yes, and bitcoin isn't an alternative to the entire traditional financial system.
It is not Church Slavonic, at least not in any type of Cyrillic script. Could be Glagolitic but this is extremely unlikely because (a) does not look like Glagolitsa (b) Glagolitsa mostly died out 7 centuries ago.

What VPNs do compression? And don't speed tests normally use TLS?
I somehow missed the "no sign-up required" in the front page, because of the login link.
Counterpoint, it’s really hard to explain social media for users who don’t have an account - which could be a reason to do a "mock" profile with some of the most popular accounts in the feed.

Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr didn't do a good job of showing what they were good for either. Not that it's an excuse to get lazy in trying, of course.
We shouldn't expect one person to solve these issues though, I think. In my opinion it's perfectly valid from him to just point out the problem, or give a recap of the state of things and point out trends. It's up to everyone else to make of it what they will. I personally tested many of the foss games myself, and then pitched the ones to my group when we wanted to play games. Due to me trying them first and work out some kinks beforehand, onboarding was easy and we ended up having a good amount of fun.

I also like your train of thought however. Which is why I'm happy to support Steam in their effort with Proton. They surely can't make everyone release a Linux version, so what if Wine could run all of the games instead? I like this idea in general and it also enabled me to not reboot into Windows to play some of my favorites.
You can change that easily, with izip from itertools.

The fact that a bunch of builtins and the values/items methods of dictionaries have become iterators is not very siginificant IMHO. Python 2 code could already be written to use iterators or generator expressions, so in the parts where it was crucial it was already done. In this regard Python 3 has not added new functionality but only changed defaults.

The unicode change is the big one.
From the note:

> Toward the end of the day the power company speeds up/slows down the frequency as needed so the total cycles in a given day is 5,184,000

That's incredible! I had no idea it was that accurate.
The comments on the article's page are amazing; they practically alternate between understanding what an RSS feed is to being completely oblivious to it.

Is it a win for the NYT if I feel like I should register with them so I can comment on the article? Would anyone even read my comment if I did?
I think that don't accepting cash is a little too much. However I agree with you. Managing cash could be even more expensive then managing money on electronic bank accounts.
They did say they didn't want to test Amazon's capacity. Also, presumably, running on their own servers is cheaper.
To perceive time as a dimension is useful

If you want to do space-time calculations, yes.

because it helps you realize you actually perceive four dimensions the same way a flatlander perceives three

Absolutely not. We perceive time as time and space as space. The concept of spacetime does not help us understand or visualize higher dimensional spaces at all. It only confuses the issue, which is exactly the original complaint against the video this whole discussion is about.

Edit: One more example: Can you visualize the difference between a 3D cube moving in time, and a 4D cube moving in the 4th dimension? If you project the 4D cube down to 3D, it will look like a double cube that twists itself inside and out, but the 3D cube moving in time will just look like a 3D cube. Spacetime does not help you understanding 4D space.
I can see an objection to that, but it's pretty clear the NYT lawyers don't understand that they are sharing their content freely on the internet via the RSS feed and there's no coinbox on the front-end to gate it.

This reminds me of companies complaining about web sites not getting approval to link them.
I also started with a ZX81, I still have all the docs that came with it, the ZX81 got binned while I was away at University to my horror. I used to play 3D Monster Maze on it all the time.
It the same mentality that cabbies are against taking cards in taxis.

They did studies and found people tip more when using a card. And I know if I don't have cash myself and I know the cabs will take a card I'd catch one rather then find some alternative.
Calling emacs a text editor is a bit disingenuous isn't it?
I would classify being able to live at his office without being tossed out into the streets, and being given a home after that got to be too much for the school, as living off his celebrity. The "technically" in "technically homeless" is a major difference between what Stallman has to deal with vs what non famous computer scientists/software engineers have to deal with.

I understand he's forgone the amount of wealth he could have accumulated by just working in the software industry in the name of his cause, and that is laudable. However he thinks everyone should do this despite the greater burden they'd have to shoulder. All the people he tells shouldn't be making non free software so they can support themselves and their families are not going to be given free lodging by MIT.
The meta message of the parable is programming is, in actual practice, an art, not a vocation or profession. For political / economic reasons we sometimes have to pretend its a vocation or profession, but it really isn't in actual application. Software architecture should be in the "fine arts" department at university, not a branch of finance, engineering, or math.

In art, people expect the highest quality producers to instantly produce effortless appearing product (music, dance, painting, sport, drama, whatever) and are generally willing to pay for quality unless they're a hopelessly tasteless neanderthal. The only time effort is rewarded in art is when parents watch their (own) kids perform.

One epic fail of the parable is it was written in an era of C (pascal?) dominance where 500 LOC means something different then from now. That would be at least 2000 lines of boilerplate-ish java (think of the classic "enterprise hello world" java implementation) or 10 lines of clojure and pretty much everything else fits in between. Something that has stayed constant over the decades, from my observation, is a "complicated functional block" takes maybe three hours long term total average, a "little bit less than before/after lunchhour", and the only determiner of how many LoC are produced in that time is language quality and programmer quality. Maybe another way to phrase it, is a correctly sized block on a project flowchart takes a couple hours in all languages for a given class of programmer ability.
That's not much consolation, is it? A group or an individual that would attack someone based on an anonymous online posting a) isn't going to care about punishment after the fact, in fact will revel in it and b) won't have any assets anyway.
He falls in the same mistake of many people: thinking that because there's operator overloading in the language, you have to use it. The same for templates.

Most successful C++ projects never use some features. Some even use C macros instead of templates, like wxWidgets. It both works and compiles fast.
It's exciting in a way - like 15th century Venice.
So is this a rebranding of NoNoSql, or something new?
How wonderful. However can you get more than a glimpse of the real thing without one of those extrardinary keyboards? ( see for instance the later http://www.asl.dsl.pipex.com/symbolics/photos/IO/index.html )
So were you having manic episodes?
There is a fun program from the book "Huge in a Hurry" where sets are to perfect rep failure. The gist of the program is, for example, pick a weight you can 10 reps of. Now do 40 total reps stopping every set when you no longer do a perfect rep. Take as many sets as needed to get to 40. This was a great program for me early on, as it taught me about the focus on perfect form above all else.

But yeah, working out is life changing. I've been lifting in some form for over 20 years now, and try to exercise every single day.
Even thinking youtube is being used primarily for review when someone is out of practice isn't really the most calibrated way to think of it from what I have seen. It's more about new technologies like sophisticated robotics or edge cases and outliers. Conferences, papers, audio and presentations are all part of the continuous education on these topics. If something is crucial there is probably more direct mentoring and gradual responsibility going on.
mandatory plug for Starting Strength novice program if you want a can't-miss first 12 weeks of starting lifting. Regardless of what you do after it, it'll establish a base of strength and safe movement patterns to go down whatever body building, strength, powerlifting, cardio direction you want.
Isn't this actually fraud?
I know the WHM. Wim himself claims that the WHM is not tummo.

And with good reason, it isn't. It might use similar breathing techniques (vase breathing seems to be similar to one WHM breathing technique) but that doesn't make the WHM tummo.
Reminds me of another female virus writer "Gigabyte" who she references in the interview : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte_(virus_writer)
Thinking of the GPU - what choices does Apple have if they are considering a GPU upgrade? Not sure how much better SGX540 is in dealing with greater number of pixels and if Series 6 is not that much far in the future to get in on an iPad2.

Tegra2 is technically a better solution but with all the A4 hype it would be tough for Apple to switch to Nvidia.

Given all this, the iPad2 is more likely to be an modest upgrade with cameras and SGX540 at the best. Or a little more wilder guess would be Cortex-A9 based A-5 and SGX540.
If you are a rockstar and don't plan on living past 41 then it's a hindrance. Otherwise it's a personalized situation which we really can't answer.
What is this "general news" you speak of? Between the hundreds of bookmarks on tech related articles, piles of RSS feeds, stacks of programming books around me, constant work and a single blog for local news on the state legislature, I can't remember when I last had time for "general news". Maybe Bush's 6th or 7th year in office? Back then I'd spend at least an hour on NYT. Now with the work load of two others I just don't have the time.

As far as HN's format, more "hacker" articles would be nice. I enjoy when my jaw drops at the thought of interesting or clever solution to a problem.
Would someone be willing to break this down and explain it?
If you do, you are likely to be waiting until June or July.
In my ideal world ISPs should honor customer-provided QoS flags, while limiting total bandwidth as necessary. They can also limit high priority traffic to a certain percentage of a user's total available bandwidth (i.e. 50mbit/s connection, only 8mbit/s may be high priority when the network is heavily loaded). Anything beyond that is abusive, and will reduce the amount of bandwidth-intensive innovation coming from startups that can't afford to pay off the ISPs.
My brother in law (to be) started teaching me C++ on a road trip. When we got back I snagged a old Apple IIe from the high school that they were just tossing. After a few months of Apple Basic and a giant program where I didn't leave enough room between lines to fix a bug... I went back to C++
What are these lucrative high-margin industries?
The sad fact is that most bicycles sold in America are not equipped properly for inclement weather or for utility. They should all have fenders and bike racks/baskets and the utility increases immensely. Fenders alone are super helpful. Without them you can't really even ride right after it is done raining because there will be spray up your back.
