In the end, the solution does not have to be perfect. Just have to hide the song well enough so the content ID cannot be made. As you say, the sound that will manage to bypass the "inverted balanced-like filter" will be distorted and hopefully content ID is not accurate enough to recognize it.
Because Eclipse is so slow and hangs quite often :((
Because I've realized that for the things I want and need to build, I would be an order of magnitude too slow to go alone.

I rarely write any code myself these days (and when I do, I make sure I'm not doing that in any critical path of the company).

Barely just enough to stay sharp to remain an effective tiebreaker and stay respected by a highly capable team.

Mostly prototypes, tracer bullets, idea scribbles and PoCs.

Other than that, I focus mostly on distributing knowledge, connecting the dots and lay the tracks forward to make sure we as a team build something that creates value for the company and doesn't have to be thrown away.

Writing more code myself would be a dire waste of company resources.
> You might have one author using `[a]` where another uses `PositiveNumeric a, Fin n => NonEmptyList n a` for the same thing. You can always just annotate whatever the library author used (e.g. they return a list of strings, so you use List[str]).

The difference between these two cases is that a function that returns [a] will always return [a] and if you convert it to `NonEmptyList n a` you will be nudged towards handling the case where it didn't actually return n elements, whereas if you annotate someone else's list as returning List[str] then it may well silently not do some of the time, and you won't get an error until a long way away.

> Apple also sold 4.69 million iPads, a steep decline from the 7.33 million iPads the company sold during the fourth quarter, during the peak holiday sales season.

> However, Apple was not able to compare them with sales figures from a year ago, as the company had not yet established a full quarter's worth of results for the iPad.

The pixamid situation is similar to the reason the breakup notifier got banned by Facebook originally. A large amount of users were deleting wall posts made by the app, causing the app to get flagged and automatically shutdown temporarily.
Great highlighting based on caret position, easy-to-read syntax and the output updates quickly.

Very well done.
It used to be called "Startup News".
There is an option to encrypt backups.
http://lifehacker.com/stats-month shows lifehacker pageview declining pretty significantly this year and a dramatic decline in "new visitors." (Somewhat fittingly, the buttons on the stats pages don't work quite right for me)
I purchased it. I really like it. The Jetbrains folks are really responsive to requests for features and bug fixes. Happy so far.
Bump. Thanks for this. Taxis, microbuses and shuttle buses... if they have 'em, use 'em. If they don't, opt for the next one.
If I wanted to read sweeping, content-free trollish comments like this I'd have stayed on Reddit.
I have nothing pinned at all, and it would be crazy IMO to pin everything by default. I'd have to unpin every program I install. Isn't that what the start screen is for? Aren't pinned programs supposed to be the exception?
Land is a very finite resource on this planet.

The easiest "carbon capture" (though it is slow) is and has always been: Trees. We need more forests than ever and we keep bulldozing them instead.

Rural development is often at the expense of trees and forests for at best mostly unvariegated farm land and at worst useless (but "pretty") green yards.

(Here again the externalities of the greenhouse gases aren't felt by corporations building the houses nor the average home owner. We'd never pass Carbon Taxes in the first place, but especially no one wants to talk about Property Tax Carbon Taxes on their homes. But we need to reforest a lot of land to better deal with climate change and that's not going to happen with just market forces at work. Trees, deer, and birds don't have the money to buy land/houses.)
Whenever I get into an airport taxi I always mention "Oh you take credit card right?" due to the queue system at airports they either reply yes and, if they actually don't, I get out guilt free at the other end - or they reply no and I move to the next taxi down the line. A significant number of airport taxis do shady stuff to try and extract extra or under the table payment.

(Edit, just to clarify - I get out of the Taxi on the other end guilt free because the driver lied to me about payment options. I don't like skipping out on service payments - I think people should be paid fairly for the work they're doing (even if I could get away with not paying)... but if you're lying to me you're doing me a disservice)
lol using a mixer means that the feds don't know which account contains the bad funds. So they don't find the identity of the perp. So no possibility of beating the perp.
They're starting to be required on most Maine homes. I don't know all the details, but it came up recently in a discussion with my builder.

I think this link is for commercial, but there's something analogous...

Lots of people other than shops take money. There are lots of one-man businesses or tradespeople who take credit card through services like SumUp which require a seperate device paired to their phone. For people like that this will be very useful.

Both my plumber and the guy who fixed our washing machine used SumUp, as did most of the market-stall holders at the Christmas market this year. All of them were using the phone-linked version (rather than the one with its own SIM).

Sure, it's not right for everyone, but it will be perfect for a lot of people.
> Drink at home.

Unless you're in Quebec, where the unvax don't have the right to buy alcohol for home consumption, either.
Exactly. Apple is arbitrary when applying their own terms. Like Darth Vader.
I agree. While I disagree with the central claim of this essay (it's not about wages), I also think the US should have open borders (as it once did), although I also realize that that is never going to happen.
Yeah, a prior illnesses like high blood pressure or diabetes with which you can live many more years and which are very prevalent in the 50+ age bracket.

We're still very early in the epidemic. The people dying now are naturally the weakest. Even among young people a percent or two needs hospitalization. If you cumulate up to 50 years, 10% or so need hospitalization and 2% need critical care. Good luck providing for them when millions are infected.

You're also discounting all the additional deaths caused by a healthcare system that runs way over capacity.
I'm working on a REST API generator for small app projects that I've been building for a couple of months now: https://stackprint.io

My tasks for the coming days are extending the permission configuration and looking into generating fully typed client code for generated APIs :)
I find writing documentation very relaxing. After a particularly busy dev cycle, it almost feels like a nice break. Maybe I should take one of these courses; I think we have more ageism in development than in technical writing (just a hunch without any evidence/citation).
It's not unreasonable in normal times for normal situations.

Last I checked, "ethics" were supposed to protect life, not uphold some arbitrary abstract standard while people died by the raft loads.

But pay me no mind. I learned my ethics from military culture which deals with life and death routinely. So I might have some weird ideas about upholding the value of life as sacred or something.
I guess not feeling like rewriting uLisp compiler/runtime in uLisp/Assembly, and not being the author,
1. it's both :) we're keeping a lot of the features in place but we are taking the chance to renew some parts and drop or redesign some
2. KIE (Knowledge Is Everything) is the collective name of the development group that works on Kogito/Drools/jBPM/OptaPlanner. It's not a legal entity so it's not technically "owned" by RH, but the majority of us work for RH

I’m working on a problem I have myself as a developer-founder: how to prioritize my dev and product time and focus on one project. Happened so that this is not only my issue. It is pretty common that it was a topic of one of the y combinator startup schools lectures. Here’s a link to the early version built on firebase and react: https://www.priorittime.com/
Still have to figure out how to make it smooth and intuitive. But using it now myself: dogfood.
So if anyone has suggestions, pls comment. Thanks.
Ultimatums are bad faith and basically anti-liberal so I don't care for that sort of rhetoric, and I think more people should try that as a baseline.
When the ultimatums themselves do not account for the well-being of the elderly and vulnerable, we should not be giving that rhetoric credit. There's an ideological and intellectual distinction to be made between people's behaviors; those who want to discuss the "COVID tradeoff problem", and those who simplistically repeat talking points "but the economy will cause deaths too" (in reactance to the other narrative, the prediction of collapse of healthcare systems).
I'm not sure either what they are looking for exactly either.
great idea, glad to see you executed on it

i'd love to see this be able to be hooked up to a bike for a mechanical recharge option

lamp post detaches, and wheel and battery snap onto bike

idly recharge while on your commute, or actively with a stand allowing for stationary cycling
Godwin's law should be taken out the back and shot along with the person uttering it. Is a lazy form of attempting to neutralize any argument a person makes by simply mentioning Godwin's law.
Is there any legal trickiness to trading bitcoin for goods? AFAICT, FinCEN is OK with it but I'm no lawyer.
It's an old bike wheel, a metal pole, a battery, some wire and an LED light.

The BOM on this is probably under $50 tops.
Thank you very much everyone for all your useful comments. This community is awesome.
That means now they have to do everything twice.

And also deal with "they say they respect privacy but they collect data" complaints. Because people who talk about privacy are rarely a sound market segment for anything other than privacy tools...that are free.

The market segment for most products is people who don't care about privacy. Or at least people who don't find privacy a reason to spew moral outrage on the internet.

I mean there are endless HN threads where people are complaining about the privacy evils of products they don't use...e.g. Windows.
It sounds like we both agree that the fear of the power of rich individuals with regards to campaign finance is overblown.

People want to believe that there is some conspiracy of rich people screwing things up and if there weren't then everyone would have roses and unicorns. But I don't think that's quite right. Sure, entities that have a lobbying budget have a bigger say in policy than people without. But they get to influence a couple paragraphs in a 2,000 page bill. You add it all together and you get a bad bill that squanders public resources on private interests. The bill making process is broken, but that doesn't mean there is a cadre of rich people acting as puppet master.

The United States government is more like a boat where the captain is drunk and passed out than one highjacked by some nefarious pirate.
Many, if not most Americans do not (pardon my lack of statistics). They work in service jobs that will be trivially automatable in our lifetimes.

Most jobs that truly are "trivially automatable" have already been automatized. I think it's extremely unlikely that most or nearly most of Americans' jobs can be replaced by computers in our lifetimes, barring something like the Singularity happening (which I'm not holding my breath for).

Wealthy people will actually own the means of production in a very meaningful way

Like I said, this is a Marxist bromide. Fundamentally, the means of production is mens' minds. Marx mistakenly believed that production amounted to physical human labor + expensive heavy-industry capital (like factories), which leaves work requiring intelligence and skill (MOST work) out of the picture, and is inaccurate - and is becoming more and more innacurate.

those that aren't equipped by their genes, upbringing, or education to participate in the information economy will be unable to earn an income.

Everyone is equipped to participate, barring exceptionally low IQ. Human beings are not automatons; they are not determined by the environment or their parents or their genes; they exercise choice.

Secondly, despite the information economy, it is still very much about what you own. If you are capable of making something amazing, you still need savings or investors who will feed and house you while you make those things and pay the still significant costs of infrastructure that many products require.

Big projects typically require capital investment, but so what? That can be gotten if you have a good idea. Also, lots of people that work in service jobs and don't need heavy capital investment do important, creative work. My point here is that, no, it's not "very much about what you own." Most people in America are doing just fine, especially those with an education, and most people in America did not inherit a trust fund or something.

Concentration of wealth matters. That doesn't necessarily mean that government intervention is a good idea.

If it has no implications, then by definition, it doesn't matter. So if you claim that it matters, you should give an implication.
Something is said that he/she wants 'stricken from the record?'
Why would you want all this log encryption if the actual IM exchange itself lacks privacy?

I could understand encrypting the logs to protect them in the event of a computer loss or some such, but I can't quite fit in the need for selected logging and editing. AOL, Google and Yahoo still have a complete copy of all your IMs.
I second Hearst Castle. Goes well when paired with Citizen Kane.

Also, Monterey is cool. Can also be paired with Cannery Row by Steinbeck.
Baller!
uniformity of thought in the media has increased. media consolidation cannot be blamed on trump.
EDIT:my first statement is unqualified and based on personal feeling. the bitter partisanship i'm confronted with whenever i tune in to american news outlets form my opinion. i cannot present a historical decline in journalistic diversity. my second point is the main one. consolidation of an industry is a more symptom of capitalism than the actions of one man.
> This shows up as a pain-point even in a spoken-language setting. If everyone is introducing themselves, what order do they go in?

On team meetings, we usually go clockwise by the order of pictures on the screen of the PM. That order is both seemingly non-deterministic and persistent over weeks - we have a little in-joke where we try to game the sequence by joining early or late, aiming to be sorted last. We haven't been able to figure out a pattern for it, though; it seems MS Teams sorts pictures in whatever way it feels this month. So for instance, whether I join before or after our PM, this month, I'm the first in the standup queue. Last month, I was the but-last.

Personally, I'd love if there was a shared ordering assigned and windows were simply numbered, and the numbers were displayed on screen. Would help both sign and voice users.
What? I don't think people write lots articles for newspaper are called journalist. "columnist" is the right term for people write lots of opinion pieces.
Yes, a browser should be content-agnostic.

Browsers filtering "known trackers" is a very quick slide into "known malware", "known spammers", "known foreign propaganda", "known conspiracy theories", "known fake news", and more.

It's the exact path that social media and other online platforms took, and guess what? The same companies build browsers.
> I think it’s a net positive to have more social justice with maybe more homicide.

One thing that's genuinely complicated about this is that the communities most affected by over-policing are simultaneously under-policied [0] (and more likely to be the victims of violent crimes).

I believe that this observation is 100% true. And I agree that six months is optimistic. I'd say that if you wrote code three months ago and haven't looked at it since, then it might as well have been written by somebody else.
The modularity of a Framework Laptop promises a lot of good. I know there are some workplaces where having wifi working is not permitted. Is this modular enough to have a wired networking plug and not have a wireless wifi ?

Thanks for your info
There's a reason big tech companies have entire PR departments with "We can do better™" statements ready to go.
Furthermore. The Obama admin added transparency and accountability measures while the Trump admin ditched them.
Well my favourite joke goes:

Starting code changes, notice some bad code, wonder who the hell wrote that crap, have to find that nasty person.

Fire up 'git blame', check code lines in question, "oh that was me, seems it is not that bad after all".
"Reinventing wheels" are represented by the machine-code outlining :)

These are code. Swift is a safe language with more runtime checks than other "zero-abstraction" languages. It also support "value" semantics and can deploy monomorphization for generics (although no guarantee). All these means you can have functions with slightly different view models duplicated many times throughout the binary.

Not to mention the language itself need to generate a lot of retain / releases for refcounting purpose (the blog post also pointed this out).

All in all, Swift as a language is not particularly optimized for small binary sizes, and there are a lot of trade-offs made to improve the usability rather than binary size. That has been said, there can be more opportunities exploited (and right now not) to reduce the binary size from compiler side.
What do you expect when people are raised on dystopian literature? Of course they will be more likely to draw comparisons to what they are familiar with.
Google Adsense didn’t always used to do with user tracking.
Adsenses original business model, heck, Google’s original business model, had nothing to do with user tracking. In fact, it was possible to share links with people (at least locally) by simply telling someone to search for a specific keyword and look halfway down the results on the 2nd page.

It’s kind of amazing to me that it’s now become ingrained that advertising must involve user tracking when even 15 years ago companies like Google did almost no tracking at all.
Thanks for your comments, guys. Yes, I did push the verbosity setting to the max to underline my point. Unfortunately, there is lot of naive, bloated Java code out there (often much worse than this!) and some of us have to fix it for a living. I'll try to add an abstract singleton proxy bean factory next time :D
Lots of people spamming/flooding/DoS'ing "for fun", but no clueless bots stumbling in accidentally yet.

Btw previous HN thread about ssh-chat here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8743374
I was interested in this aspect as well. I'm a big believer in the ability for teams to work remotely and asynchronously at the same level of effectiveness as in-office teams; I wonder what the research would look like for those types of teams.
Nah, it's at a company called RentPath. They own Rent.com, Apartment Guide, etc. I'll be a remote engineer.
er what about blind people using screen readers? not a grate idea IMO
Using a setuid helper (even if it's called sudo) is still starting a program as root.
The article's title is both linkbait ("Stop Doing Bad Thing, Plus Famous Person") and misleading: people are mostly not misquoting Knuth, as the article itself points out ("Donald Knuth once wrote these unfortunate words"). To leave that title unchanged would violate both of the HN guidelines about titles.
Way more awesome. And I did not. Many thanks for the link!
I wish this was done more often. When I read the paper I spend most of my time wondering why an article was published and who made the phone call.
Yes, 2 birds, 1 stone.
It's awesome to see this whole comment section be about Julia! As a community, evebtually we'll realize that we dot have the bandwidth to keep inventing the same thing over and over just so a new technique can be used efficiently. Currently, Julia is the only language that makes this kind of deep reuse possible by bein efficient through just-ahead-of-time compilation that specialises well through open multiple-dispatch.

Ah, thank you for that! Should be fixed now!
I think it has to do with maximizing revenue, not necessarily by tricking drivers, but by using paid/free parking as a way to change driver incentives.

One example would be Downtown Austin. There are streets that are closed down to allow for maximum pedestrian traffic, but this is only at night. During the day, the parking is needed for people who have business in the downtown area. However, to discourage too many drivers, the parking during weekdays is paid. On the margin, this will discourage some potential drivers and they will take alternate methods of transportation. On the weekends, when the downtown non-retail businesses are closed, there is no longer the need to discourage drivers. At this point, you want to encourage retail traffic, which means making parking free.

Now, whether all this incentive manipulation is worth it, is another story, but I believe the above is the rationale for having multiple rules.

In many cities, there is also street sweeping to consider. I know that is the particular reason that has caught out many of my friends in LA.
Seriously, read the book. You're grossly misjudging what the book discusses.
I hope you are too, you can crack me jokes I won't get.
Doesn't customer imply a paying relationship? If I put some code online and let people use my software I'd say that makes them at most my users, not consumers.

When you get it a certain way through Azure you both enter a contractual agreement with each other, and that does make you a customer.
I read somewhere that Tom's Diner is used for lossy audio codec evaluations because it is a clear, strong a capella voice. It's been said that humans are sensitive to even minor distortions in vocal quality. You can sing a capella in any language, and it is not limited to western music. Sorry, I don't have references to offer.
Thanks, I didn't know about this! Do you have any links to learn more? In any case, this is on the dev who uses the library and specifies a palette rather than the library itself though.
The market seems to reject cars seen as too small. That is one of the reasons people give for passing on the Bolt (even though the interior is surprisingly large due to good space utilization)
That's good to hear! I was under the impression that it was much more common for sites to not support a second device. Glad to know most do.
