I get the feeling that they are trying to adapt, desperately even, but they still keep hoping that the internet will someday just go away.

The casual nature of Wordle is one of its biggest strengths. Don't underestimate the allure of the zen/meditative angle of the game. It's something to look forward to everyday because of it.
The Rate Limiting and Throttling techniques limit all webhook events but have different purposes: rate limiting protects a webhook by applying a hard limit on its access. Throttling shapes webhook access by smoothing spikes in traffic.
Stripe might lower their rates for Tap to Pay. I also think you underestimate the friction of getting extra hardware for a small business and the advantage of using hardware you already have (iPhone).
> a new perspective on how the information on the Internet can be indexed and searched

I wholeheartedly agree! In order to fuel the brainstorming with some divergent ideas:

- Queries answered/improved by real people (you didn't find what you wanted with "X", now people can suggest alternative search terms to help you find it. Whoever helps, gets a reward)

- Reputation-based search based on reviews (can be networked [as in social network] as well to put "trusted" reviews/hits at the top)

- Expose the query-language for your search engine, allow anyone to build a UI around it, link them together somehow so it's easy to jump between views

- Highly curated search engine, have a team of people insert pages manually after review

- Adjustable ranking. Some people might prefer links to are used a lot on Twitter, or from a special blog they like

Mix/match the above ideas, add/remove some, experiment and deploy prototypes for people to try. I'm sure there are better ways of doing search than what Google has right now.

(if you feel like contributing and adding more ideas, please use your lateral thinking, instead of convergent to disprove the ideas above)
Well, I got rid of the native iOS app because the modal nag dialogs had become so annoying that I didn't want to put up with it anymore.
The author of the article is in way over their head, and doesn't understand the jargon that he his hearing.
I misspoke. I meant directed at kids. I don't think speedruns are directed at people below the age of 13. It really doesn't seem like the target audience.
Even if you find a game that has a gender balanced community, that's no guarantee that it will be as attractive to an equal number of each gender on your team. Also if you're going for gender equality why would you not also go for racial and ethnic equality too? At my last job we had three developers from Nigeria. All thought games (excluding actual physical sports) were for children and looked negatively upon adults who played games. How would you not end up excluding them?

Not everyone is going to pay a massive premium for Macintosh no matter its alleged advantages.

What are the advantages anyway? I used it for a while and came away mystified. Is it all about the appearance? They spend so much effort on its appearance that I suspect that's a big part of it. It does look and feel much nicer than a typical laptop.

From a practical point of view, it felt like playing Candyland. Big silly icons bouncing around, stuff like that. The Unix shell is nice, but you can get that cheaper and better elsewhere.
My Lenovo W530 still has a socketed CPU which I've replaced from 2 core/4 thread i5-3210M to 4 core/8 thread i7-3610QM and it will happily chug along without down throttling in parallel compilation, benchmarks or games using eGPU. It's a 45W TDP CPU and there are stronger ones doing fine still. And before you say "that's outdated" - well not really https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/753, it's about as fast per core as 2013 retina MBP and has 4 real cores. I guess my point is "you can make it work".

Now, my work's 2018 15" MBP is suffering massive overheating problems and throttling down just on some light work + YouTube.
For a moment I read that as truthbusting and got a little frightened
The British during WWII had probably the most successful counter-espionage program in history, because they understood the personal motivations of the people who were interested in spying on them and used those motivations to their advantage. There are many books on the subject, my favorite of which is [0].

Just saying the categories are always there. It could be the position of a vocal minority, but also of the government that seeks to change what you are doing politically, or a mass uprising wishing to change what you do.

Control will always exist, so I think it just needs to be integrated into a small order that can be managed, rather than jump into one of the always/never/any categories to stonewall it.
Thanks.

I always fail to understand the word 'highways'[1]. I _think_ Autobahn, and compare it with that in my post. Sweden, according to the infallible Wikipedia, seems to have a speed limit on their version of the highway/Autobahn of 110km/h, in exceptional cases 120km/h.

So I still think the GP is wrong, at least in terms of 'driving faster'.

1: I'm unsure what constitutes a highway, what is the difference (if there's any) to an interstate and .. what you'd call the 'normal' roads between cities.
> Sorting out what was returned requires a "match" statement

You can unwrap it if you want an error. Or use a helper function if there is a default to provide. But it explicitly makes clear that the function can fail, and leaves error handling to the consumer. The Python version gives no indication that something may go wrong.
I printed out mockups for the 6 and 6+ to get a feel for them before they came out. Tested them with pockets etc... I'm fat so they actually do fit in my pants pocket (the plus by a hair).

My pants usually press against my leg when I am sitting, and I am almost certain this pressure would, over time and repetition, bend the phone. Possibly not the 6, but I'm sure it would with the plus.

I do like the larger screen though. Colbert had a joke where he was going to have a large pocket sewn into his suit jacket to carry his ipad around, and I actually considered having a phone pocket added to my jeans. But I think I'll stick with my 5 for a while longer and if needed upgrade to the 5s at some point.
Have you also evaluated Kafka? as it is a common choice feeding Storm .
I realized the format makes it somewhat confusing, but only some positions are REMOTE at Realm (at the moment only our Android position, and only from some locations). Apologies for the confusion, will try to word this more elegantly next time.
Myspace and Geocities had a baby? But they're both dead?
The problem I see with your question is that you have a bias towards a solution.

"The goal of that question from my perspective is to watch them solve a problem that requires recursion"

I wouldn't use recursion for my solution. It takes up stack space for no reason. If I'm going to be allowed to use more space, I'd just loop through the list, add them to a set, and check if I've already seen it. No recursion, but extra space. Is it more space than another stack frame? Depends on the type of set I'm using. But at least I know I won't blow up the stack (maybe the heap :-)

Since you are asking for opinions from others, I'm going to assume you wouldn't be upset with me solving it this way. So am I less of an engineer because I didn't immediately go for recursion?

With that said, everyone has a baseline - answers they expect to see. But everyone has to keep an open mind.

My company is trying to come up with a corpus of questions and answers to those questions at the junior, normal, and senior level. I've voiced my opinion that it is a slippery slope. If you get someone who isn't a skilled interviewer, and the interviewee doesn't use one of the prescribed 3 answers, what happens to that candidate? Granted it is one data point in the loop, and not the only data point. But as I stated, it becomes easier to be "lazy" during the interview.
There are other languages that run in a browser and might be suitable for teaching. How about Dart or Scratch?
Are Victorian values to thank for the Opium Wars as well? You can't cherry pick in hindsight to create moral justification for evil.
One of the issues I've had using Python to teach in the last few years has been the glacial transition to Python 3 for some packages, often with some annoying cross platform inconsistencies (trying to keep up with two or three different tool kits for one purpose because of different support for Windows vs OS X is annoying).

I really enjoy Python as a language, I enjoy using it for teaching fundamentals, but I really don't enjoy using it for teaching 'the fun stuff' as far as high school kids are concerned.

I might consider switching to JS in my new school. I was looking forward to perhaps using Swift but the new place is Windows-based.
What happens if I forget my pin then?

Your 1 example requires the person to not check their statement for 2 months. That means there is a 2 month safety window. Do you have numbers on how many people actually have that problem vs the numbers for the ones it works fine for? I would put money on the former being less than a hundredth of a percent

Your second one has been debunked where you originally posted it
"Shameless" really does seem to me the best word to describe the most important aspect of networking. Or at least, the hardest part - once you've read How to Win Friends and Influence People, it's still really tough to approach strangers or ask acquaintances for introductions.

Carnegie doesn't teach you how to get over that. The only thing I can think of that might is Theater; acting or improv classes. But I'd be very curious to hear how others have overcome social inhibitions and learned to go for it.
The title makes this seem very sinister, but having read through it, I actually think that a lot of these "skills" are basic conversation skills that can be used in non-networking settings as well.

Personally, I've used them at holiday parties to engage in civil conversation with other guests, or even young children guests.
What TOS does it violate? They explicitly recommend creating machine users in certain areas of their help docs.
Better to embrace that you can find common ground with someone you otherwise have wildly differing views from.
> The real comparison would be between SSRI-treated patients and untreated depressed patients, because healthy people aren't prescribed SSRIs.

I see it very differently, as you are focusing entirely on the parents and completely ignoring the children. If the untreated patients weren't going to have kids, the question is only whether or not the children are happy. If the children of parents with antidepressants are more likely to require antidepressants themselves, I'd say that's indicative of a serious problem.
Coffee seems far more expensive than this to produce, especially for good/specialty coffee.

YMMV, I guess. Red Bull always tasted like liquid SweeTarts, to me.
Careful, memory barriers/fences have nothing to do with caches, they're for establishing an observed order on when the processor is using out of order execution. The cache still has to be strongly consistent at all times or else there's nothing that a memory barrier can do to save it.
Wow, that's an insanely brilliant evil business plan. And plausible, too.

The copyrightability of APIs will have to be determined.
Same reason an NBA team will draft someone who isn't ready be a starter averaging a double double. If I believe the team is elite and that the potential is there, there's potential for such an asymmetric outcome that it's a worthwhile bet.
Ah, we've reached the self-awareness in the face of doom part of the Michael Crichton novel.
Android? Termux will run it, even the Termux in the Play Store.
This is stupid. At the end of the day, a lot of these clowns are going to be injured and/or in jail, and Joe Biden is still going to be president on January 20th.

EDIT - Just to be clear, I'm saying the rioters are stupid, not anything/anyone else.
> If the republican leadership had unequivocally come out against the narrative that the election was stolen, this wouldn't be happening.

They all came out against Trump when this started in 2016. Was not even a speed bump.
The national guard was deployed at BLM protestors during Trumps bible photoshoot.
Attacking a seat of power is an insurrection. Occupying / disrupting a seat of power in a protest. It’s a thin but critical line.
Blue collar IT. Racking and stacking, help desk, event space A/V, wrangling desktops and phones, installing WiFi access points in the office, etc.

Tech companies don't pay particularly well for these things, but their benefits packages are very competitive.
They literally stopped the certification of Biden's win. What exactly do you call it?
A slightly different take would be: check on your expectations.

Make 3 columns (for a start) :
1/ Explicit your expectations of the world.
2/ State what you see.
3/ State why you think things are this way, and how you could contribute to change them.

Putting this explicitly might transform anger into contemplation first, then understanding (of the disconnect, of the possible courses of action).

Then use this table to discuss this with people that could help you doing so.
You’re not arguing against a generalist (varying depth over a handful or many areas), you’re describing, sure, let’s call it a poser or dabbler (little to no depth in any area).
Dithering was always sexy.
I was once discussing how cults were formed with a friend. Most cults revolve around one crazed person who's the focus of the group's adoration. I said to my friend: Who was the first member of that cult? That's the guy who got things rolling. A crank on his own is just a crank. Thoroughly convince one other person and a cult begins. It has to be something like this with companies too.
I absolutely LOVE the sound of these Vuvuzelas - I don't understand why there is such a fuss over them.

I find the drone puts me into an almost trance-like state where my focus and concentration abilities increase dramatically. I imagine I'd quite like having these things blaring while playing on such a grand stage as the World Cup.

One of my treasured childhood memories was getting my first library card. I remember my mother teaching me to read when I was four because I asked her to. I remember devouring every book at home, and in the children's section of the library. I could only read the adult section while Iw as there, so I spent long days doing just that, until I turned 14 and could check them out. I remember vividly Ben seeing em reading the dictionary in elementary school, laughing, and telling the whole class.

In high school, I remember how many students asked me for help with specific challenges, and I was happy to help for free. I remember discussing with my fellow nerds doing experiments at home that easily exceeded what the school taught.

None of these memories will surprise the audience here. Or that so many people over my life have told me how lucky I am to just be born smart. But the lesson it took me the longest to learn was to value my thinking skills and ignore those who make less of them. And to charge for their use, of course. Just because it come easily to me now, doesn't make it worthless.
If indeed they do it will just open up the stage for more commercial spaceflight endeavors to take its place. Private industry works faster and cheaper than NASA could ever hope to. Try to see the silver lining.
Why not take one or two of the oldest payments Google is withholding and file a small claims lawsuit against Google as a test? If the courts allow the case to proceed and you win, then just batch up your claims and over time you can get all your money.

You will just have to be careful not to exceed the small claims lawsuit money award limits. Name Larry, Sergey, and Eric as the defendants if you really want to get Google's attention. Also, after you hit Google once or twice with a suit, they will probably get you all of your money quickly.
I did a newsletter on family business about eighteen months ago, and came across this article - the 100 oldest companies in the world http://www.bizaims.com/articles/business+economy/the+100+old...

Saw the title, and thought it is going to be about what Erdos referred to as The Book, in which God keeps the most elegant proof of each mathematical theorem.

Wasn't UTF-16 explicitly created as a "backward compatibility hack" for UCS-2 when it became clear that 16 bits per code point isn't enough? They should have ditched 16-bit encodings back then instead of combining the disadvantages of UTF-8 (variable length-encoding) and UTF-32 (not endian-agnostic).
I agree with this. Liberty, for the most part, is a buzzword in America and most people with major party political allegiances either don't believe in it or have a dwindling idea of what it is.
I ended up with a page on IMDB for participating in an episode of a tiny web streaming tech show years ago, and apparently you can't just get them removed. It isn't a high bar of fame/publicity to get stuck in there, unfortunately.

Or just believed by developers who know what they are talking about you know... Nobody's really siding with Oracle in the industry because their case did not make much sense.

> they chose to steal what they wanted instead

They reimplemented everything you mean, there's no Oracle source code at all in Android and there's not even a JVM.

This is Bret Taylor, CTO of Facebook. I responded on the other thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1932259), but cross-posting here since it is largely about the same issue.

This was a mistake on our part. In the process of dealing with a routine trademark violation issue regarding some links posted to Facebook, we inadvertently blocked all mentions of the phrase "lamebook" on Facebook. We are committed to promoting free expression on Facebook. We apologize for our mistake in this case, and we are working to fix the process that led to this happening.
Do you have any access to company lists at Google, MS, etc? Usually former employees have listservs discussing job opportunities.

The introduction to the article says:

"The observational signatures of such “Dyson spheres” include waste-heat from the absorbing sphere, obscured di�rect star light (resulting in both an apparently underluminous star and potential temporal variations in brightness) and the effects of feedback on the properties of the star from the surrounding sphere."

So there are ways to distinguish probable Dyson spheres from the majority of these natural infrared sources.

Generally only for technical things. Over the last few years, HN has grown a significant population of social extremists that make minefields out of a lot of other discussions. Even on entrepreneurial articles, this can get out of hand. These days I just avoid all of those comment threads unless it's a technical article. Life is less stressful this way.

I've been fighting the flash of invisible content problem while using Google's web fonts on Safari, so I bit the bullet and built a command-line tool that would both 1) host them locally and 2) inline the woff version that's supported by most modern browsers as a data: URL.

You can install this via:

npm install -g webfont-dl

And download a set of fonts like so:

I think this is not a useful or productive mindset. I mean the idea of "I spend hundreds of hours learning $TECH in order to get a job in it".

If you learn it because it is interesting to you and you enjoy the process of learning and using the language/tech, then that's all good. How to "monetize" your hobby is a separate question that should not factor in whether you should or should not cultivate it. There are probably many ways to monetize it. Landing a job is just one way.
