Yep, exactly this. Whenever I try to grasp it, I feel like things are being abstracted beyond comprehension. It doesn’t feel right.

That, and the fact that it seems like you need to adopt about 100 completely heterogeneous tools to successfully manage a Kubernetes cluster.
The damage is irreversible now, as evidenced by the fact that we are doing virtually nothing at a global level to even slow down, much less reverse, the damage.

That still doesn't make current events apocalyptic. Harbingers of the apocalypse maybe, but the apocalypse is the fireball. It's not apocalyptic until we crash.
You use your phone for those iirc.
ID checking for age verification seems like a moat for the big few adult sites.

Can this be used for age verification for adult sites?
As with everything YMMV. Oil changes are so commoditized that it is more likely for nothing to happen. I don’t know where you live but 25 is kinda of a standard price in most places I’ve ever had an oil change at.
Many of that generation honestly believed market capitalism went hand in hand with the spread of liberal ideology, and that trade with China would ultimately bring about an end to the Communist Party. Maybe that was just a convenient excuse, but I believed it when I was younger.
It also seems odd, that they were unable to protect the capitol. It was not a storm out of nowhere.

A bit orchestrated?
To show the less radical Trump supporters, this is what your president is responsible for, chaos and anarchy in the capitol. Disturbing the democratic process.

But I guess, don't assume evil, what can be explained with incompetence.
That flag symbolizes millions of dead and generations of bitterness. It's very, very weighty.
Oh yes, clearly today was not a normal day that people should be walking in the front door. And it should have been treated more seriously than it apparently was. I’m just saying that the place isn’t a fortress by default.
Ah true, for US users it would be a lot higher. Seems to be around $10 billion per quarter of revenue for US and Canada[1], which means around 15 per user (for around 250 million users[2]. You weren't that far off! That's definitely a lot more than what the gut feeling I had was (which is why I just googled the first stat that seemed to align with my hunch - classic mistake).

I get your point, but moving people to Signal has been an accomplishment on its own, you get to say "we should move to this new private app" only so many times, before your friends and family grab their torches.
I'm not a trump supporter, but I sure as hell don't trust main stream media. They lost the ability to supply me with objective fact long, long ago
But that human has rights and can't work 24 hours a day...
Years before 0 or after 9999 are not defined in 8601 (there is some attempt to allow for them, but it's not really specified). Also, the lexicographic sorting would be ruined (if it isn't already by timezones).
Well, sure there's a difference between visual programming and natural language. There's a difference between both of those and augmented reality, which also has remained firmly demoware. And those three are different from the Minority Report-style interface that's been talked about a lot lately courtesy of the Kinect.

Note in particular the differing levels of what you might call "eventual feasibility" for each of those things... but none of that changes the fact that they are all demoware, and another demo isn't really all that intrinsically interesting until they push it somewhere actually useful, and thereby, new. Demoware isn't necessarily a permanent status, but another demo is not sufficient to escape.
FolderShare wasn't made by microsoft - it was built by ByteTaxi, the people behind the legendary AudioGalaxy using the same engine.

It was the dropbox of its day. The issues began after Microsoft purchased and then neglected it.
You know that you can reply directly to his comment, right?
It's the several hundred man hours worth of scripts, and learning to use them and making them work(and consistently) and paying for the hardware to run them that makes it cost more than $0.0.

So I would say what they do better is remove the hassle of having to spend time and resources managing and running all of those services. Just like dropbox, and cloudkick, etc.
It's probably because you are only dealing with the simple situation right now where you have few elements to display. But once you get into a more advanced level of user interface design, you will regret using tables because there are so many blocks of elements needed to be fit in.

Or, imagine building Facebook/Twitter using <table></table>.
Apple already has a Dropbox-like service.

Yep, I'm sure those rights will be restored once the "crisis" is over. That's what governments always do.
I totally agree it has been misinterpreted, I'm pretty sure the intention of Jefferson and Madison was that the government is not supposed to be able to determine what constitutes a religion in addition the right to believe & practice it* . The inclusion of the word "religion" seems a practical response to the tendency of governments to ban practices that threatened their power.

* Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," so that it would read "A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;" the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.

-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom (from which the 1st amendment is derived)
He was ridiculed for talking about "unknown unknowns" because of the ridiculous phrasing. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiPe1OiKQuk
Interestingly, this ridicule became so common that now people know more about known unknowns, and unknown unknows, which is perfectly sound logic, but just weirdly associated with Rumsfeld now.
I'm all for acknowledging the problems of free speech but I don't like the emergency powers argument either. It's far too easy to sacrifice your virtues, whatever they might be (sacrifice some privacy to catch terrorists, sacrifice social progress to pump the economy).
The legislation says it's up to the police if your action is reasonable. Police decided they could have walked closer to home. If they want, they can go to court and try and convince the magistrate/jury the police were wrong. I wish them luck (honestly).

The issue we have is we haven't enforced the very important stuff. So now we're fucked. So now we have to enforce the lot, even if this particular event (2 people arriving separately etc) seems small.

As far as I'm concerned, the more people see enforcement, the more lives will be saved. So it's a good thing whether either of these women actually transmitted and actual covid etc...
The infosec aspect of this whole event has been fascinating to me. That tweet from that guy in Pelosi's office with the computer with her email open was pretty shocking. Every company I have ever worked for enforced the pc auto locking after 10 min or so of inactivity. Its unbelievable that the Capitol doesn't enforce this.
Note that Zoom only has this for Windows. It doesn't for their Linux client, which is unfortunate.
WhatsApp has been owned by Facebook longer than it has been independent. The founders aren’t responsible for what Facebook, Inc has done for it.

You can try to attach a bunch of clauses to try and imprint your legacy, but at the end of the day if you sell your stake you sell your stake. You aren’t in the room anymore.

And if you aren’t in the room, you aren’t responsible, either. I can’t help if someone buys my car and crashes into a telephone pole. I didn’t cause that damage to the world by selling my car. Maybe, I could have found a more qualified driver if I accepted less payment for it! Or, my interested buyer upon seeing my clauses and restrictions might say “thanks but no thanks, no longer interested.”
Healthcare can definitely be expensive and you'll need a plan for that until Medicare kicks in.
The guy with a carbine in the video is a police tactical officer. The main question about this scene is not why the secret service officer shot the woman who defied a lawful order by entering the chambers through a broken window and over the top of a barricade. The question is why she hadn't been shot long before.
This may be a stretch, but can you point to any examples or articles about using SymPy outside of a strictly mathematical context?

That might be on purpose. Way too many people (even seasoned Java pros) tend to dismiss GWT based on the WRONG assumption that "GWT runs on Java".
Not mentioning Java in the very first sentence might by an attempt to avoid this seemingly minor yet critically important misconception.

Given machete-bearing lunatics are far less likely than depressed teenagers, perhaps your cost/benefit analysis on being prepared is lacking a few variables.
I think the 70% number includes inefficiencies associated with the generation cycle. A coal plant efficiency is around 35-40% subtract off transmission losses and you are close.
Given you are pretentious enough to use words like pleb, you may also have the wit to be aware that none of that in any way supports your initial claim.
I'm slowly slogging my way through Project Euler in Erlang, it's my default way of learning anything new and so far I've been making progress but I'm pretty sure that what I'm writing is absolutely horrible non-idiomatic erlang. I will probably take you up on that but after I've learned a bit more so at least I stand half a chance of understanding you.
The page load time is currently pretty good. I love the idea. I chose pink and got some nice looking donna summers album. Really cool. I am 29 and used to buy cds on artwork merit.

I imagine the Iranian government might express similar sentiments about anonymous internet mobs. The power they wield might be used to all sorts of ends, some of which we might admire, and some which we might find distasteful. Would a world where we forbid the anonymous mobs from having that much power be so much better?
replying to your update:

yes, that's exactly the problem :o)

if you start by assuming that sunspider is very fast because of dead code analysis then adding more dead code shouldn't change anything. but it does. so their deadcode analysis seems less like "real analysis" and more like "this looks like the sunspider test so we know we can ignore this piece of code". and if that is true then they are "cheating" because the result no longer reflects normal behaviour - it is tailored exactly for this test.
I don't find it depressing that people want to make a living from the kind of stuff they like to do, even when it's open source. If I work on database technology and some giant company with huge amounts of data wants to use it, that's an interesting challenge. That said, I would very much prefer to get my pay checks signed by someone whose vision I support, or ideally sign them myself. So, personally, I would not work for Facebook.
> Why should we not alter our "natural", i.e. legacy based, communication when dealing with computers?

Or when dealing with each other, for that matter. In Lojban, it is grammatically incorrect for someone to give me vague directions like "we are at the pub to the left of the central plaza". They would instead have to say something like "we-not-you are now at the only pub to the left (when seen from the cinema) of the only plaza".

Imagine political debates where imprecise language and double meaning are much harder to express. Mmm...

I'm interested to hear what the HN community thinks about this article. Last time I said anything about the "environment" a bunch of people responded with "Whatever hippie, go back to the woods then!" I'm an entrepreneur and a lover of tech, but without our environment... we're sorta ya know... screwed!
... but a certain precision of thought that is easiest to teach just by teaching students to program.

Thank you, you have just pointed out a likely cause for my improvement in writing scientific papers. I learned how to program.
Anyone know how this compares to oprofile? At first glance it looks very similar. http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/news/

[Also, related, why do people still introduce new tools that have generic, and therefore un-searchable names? Google is useless for "oprofile trace difference"...]
I use D5B390. It's very pleasant.

Worth noting that if you really care and have less than 250 karma, you could always install GreaseMonkey and change it (and other things) yourself...
Facebook can be disorienting for some older employees, who feel their past experience and accomplishments aren’t valued.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. Past experience and accomplishments get you in the door but beyond that those things don't matter, the question should be: what are you doing now to bring value?
DNS doesn't allow 8-bit characters, so UTF-8 is not an option. I think punycode is more efficient than UTF-5 would be.
It's more complicated than that. Many MIT professors are unapologetic about their relentless focus on engineering, but the MIT administration sees it as a problem that so few alumni achieve business success and make big donations.

The project has no licensee, so it's effectively all-rights-reserved. To make the code usable by others, you should select a license, but be sure you understand that with many licenses anyone can copy/fork/rename/translate/extend/repack the project.

> It was not intuitively clear to me how a place could be both isolated and centrally located, but, to be fair, if pretty much the entire rest of the world had perished, any settlement of living humans would have legitimate grounds to proclaim itself centrally located.

"still allowed" vs "increases risk of transmission" is important to consider here. Unless it's a live in nanny that is sheltering in place with you, then you are increasing the risk of infection for your household, or potentially many outside it if you are say, asymptomatic and transmit to the babysitter who then goes out to other places or households.

I realize for some this is a choice between doing what is necessary to not get fired so you don't lose food and shelter. For many on HN that is not the case.

That sounds very odd.

Programming languages too. It seems to me that popularity of programming languages is directly tied to amount of corporate backing behind them. There's plenty of popular languages that have a large company sponsoring its development and marketing.
And I believe it was also buried by dang, on the logic that bills rarely go anywhere and are thus usually not worthy of a thread.
Not at all. You're going to give me a take-home, and you're I've only got a 2% chance of getting hired? Get lost.

Maybe he had requirements to get actual code samples from applicants. He probably trusted you could do it, but companies have protocols, they probably would want to run analyses on the answers, too.
> just like AIDE is an option on Android.

It's an option but it's pretty terrible. It's basically the state of the art on Android and it gets worse from there.

> A command line doesn't need to be yet another bash clone.

No, but if your platform already runs Linux then it's a pretty good choice. Plus, at this point, it has the largest body of code/scripting available. I don't want a command line that doesn't run anything just like I don't want an OS that doesn't run anything.

Well, when you have a rococo interior, the house looks filled even when it's empty :)

I'm hardly an expert, but from what I've read about the 18th century, the idea of filling your house with bric-a-brac and bibelots was very common - though probably more among the bourgeoisie than the aristocrats.

An example:

Victorian interior design was characterized by three words: gaudy, ornate and formidable. Following fashion, private and public rooms were stuffed with objets d’art, bric-a-brac, heavy velvet drapery, tables, chairs, paneled walls, Oriental rugs, potted plants, gilded reproductions of Louis XVI furniture—intricately carved, fragile sofas and chairs—Chinese ivory figures, German porcelain vases, ormolu clocks, and miniatures lined the fireplace mantle, the mantle itself shaded by heavy, ornamental fire-shades, and all was overlooked by wall to wall portraits and priceless paintings, richly framed in gold.

I feel the issue is that the governments are primarily protecting property owners, which are not all of the city's residents. Property owners may prefer the status quo, but there's still an effect on the citizens who rent, which shouldn't be disregarded.

I mostly agree with the sentiment of the article and it's fair enough to allow a Free Software project and its maintainers to defend themselves from being misrepresented by using trademarks.

This bit is trickier though:

Neither the terms “Open Source” nor “Free Software” are themselves trademarked, which unfortunately allows anyone to use them to describe anything – companies regularly exploit this to undermine public understanding of the freedoms which the words originally conveyed.

Should those terms have been trademarked in the past? They seem awfully generic and nebulous. Could you have even gotten a trademark for "Open Source" or "Free Software"? Do trademark registrations allow you to be specific about what these two terms mean?

> What role do _you_ think they play? I'm not aware of any Google projects to help with government surveillance in Gaza.

I don't know, I don't work for google, and after buying a Nexus 5 I never bought another google product and I adopted DDG very early on as I never left the Mozilla platform... but one has to ask with Google being such a high profile customer for nations state's survielence model what role it plays in allowing Isreal to keep the gross violations in Gaza underwraps is a critical question.

I know throughout the years and several UN inquiries that stated Israel committed war crimes in Gaza was brushed under the rug almost never appeared via most search engines when I tried to look [0], but that is anecdotal at best.

Delphi was ported to Linux with Kylix (using Qt as a backend for the GUI) but didn't saw much use.

However the issue with Delphi was really that Borland got greedy around the turn of the century, started chasing enterprises and jacked up the prices considerably. Turbo Pascal originally costed less than a game yet you got both one of the best compilers and a book to learn from and Delphi until around 5 or 6 or so (do not remember the exact version) could be bought for around $99 at its cheapest version (AFAIK upgrade was cheaper) which was still affordable even by highschool students and provided a very high quality package. And during the 90s Borland Pascal and Delphi had a TON of mindshare - something they lost as they moved away from being affordable to everyone.

People wouldn't mind much if Delphi wasn't free as long as it was still affordable to everyone and good quality. Sadly not only it became unaffordable to the most important segment of programmers (the new ones who want to experiment with stuff) but it also degraded in quality.
