Yes, agreed - except for the longer term, the practical repercussions are the same, whether the software or the standard is to blame (philosophically, almost). But it's a distinction that is important to keep - for me - not least to learn from.
This blog post is SO New Yorker. It is the height of arrogance to pass off what is, like it or not, a form of gambling, an expression of greed, as a philanthropic, altruistic gesture. I know as well as anyone here that this is one of the engines of the economy, but come on. Everyone is playing the same game, and you happen to be good at it. Don't insult our intelligence.
The answer to the why we have not found an alternative is simply that we value volumetric and mass energy density, and this graph on Wikipedia:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Energy_de...

shows that gasoline has both of these, along with good resistance to premature ignition, and other favourable ignition characteristics. The solution will not be in finding something new, which is superior in every aspect to oil, but instead to be willing to sacrifice in some areas, (maybe volumetric energy density and total thermal efficiency,) in order to find an achievable solution. Using a plentiful energy source (nuclear?) to perform hydrolysis, and distributing the hydrogen as a fuel seems like the most likely endgame to me, but the material properties of hydrogen are not favourable to storage and small scale use.
Hi and thanks,

Yeah I know of NancyFx and Glenn's WCF Web APIs and follow both closely - if you haven't had a chance yet you should also checkout http://servicestack.net which allows you to create some pretty responsive demos with just 1 page of C# (definitely in-line with my pursuit of DRY, fast and expressive code :).

So what I'm trying to pitch is for not a blind pursuit of conformance but to recognize the value that it provides and whether it's actually worth the effort. But yeah I'm constantly striving for better development practices, tools, designs, etc. But in the sea of tech I don't take anything at facevalue (no matter who preaches it) and need to be proven of value before I adopt it.
How do you mean? It does stay in sync with the current time.
Demographics will be different in different areas. In NYC, over half of homeless shelter residents are Black, and an additional third are Latinx. https://www.coalitionforthehomeless.org/wp-content/uploads/2...
Can anyone give ballpark effort costs for writing a parser with a context-free grammar parser generator vs. parser combinators vs. by hand? I know good error messages are the main benefit of writing parsers by hand; can you also get those with parser combinators? Do parser combinators handle error recovery and stuff like that, or are you responsible for it?
Midtown Manhattan RE is definitely seeing a contraction, as is retail across most of NYC. Can’t speak to California real estate, although my understanding is that several tech companies have paid large amounts (8 figures) to terminate leases early.

“Collapse” I’d agree is too strong of a word, but there is clearly distress in some RE asset classes.
> "If they want to become a people manager, if they want to get increasing responsibilities, or if they want to build a culture within their teams, how are we going to do that remotely?" he asked.

I love how these executives are all of a sudden so worried about my career trajectory. Maybe you should assume I’ve thought about this trade-off and decided that I’m fine with no promotions if it meant I can work remotely.

EDIT: It just seems so suspicious that a whole bunch of things they never cared about in the past are now oh-so-important. Like those now-critical serendipitous hallway conversations. In the past, we’d be chastised for spending too much time at the water cooler, but now they are a vital reason to return to the office!

It’s almost like in the absence of measurable evidence they are scrambling to find something, anything, to justify their already-made decision after-the-fact.
I don't agree with Turkey's law in this case, but you're saying that we should impose our laws and values on all other countries, and also that online services should not have to abide by any laws, with the internet as essentially a lawless state.

I view those both as bigger problems.
One would think that the delivery service like door dash would pay for the meal with their card and then the customer pays door dash with their card so the insurer in this case is door dash. That’s what I would expect, not a pass thru sale.
Modern pi4 can boot from other media. The Sd card problem is mostly a thing of the past.
Absolutely, hard manual labour 8 hours/day for 40 years will wreck anyone worse than the same time at a desk job. What is needed is a gentler average through our whole life.

If ISIS had a facebook page, I would be angry at facebook if they censored it.

Comparing it to human slavery and other illegal things and saying Facebook would remove that so why not this.

In reality a lot of Brazil runs off selling land not based on documentation, which is technically illegal, but it's also peoples entire lives, the shack they built on a hill is theirs and for Facebook to remove the right to sell that is not a small thing.

> A lot of tech “benefits” revolve around quirky office space. When you remove that you have something missing.

Trading one benefit for a different benefit is a pretty normal thing to do. If you can offer "work remotely", why would you need to offer "we have a quirky office"?

> Furthermore if they didn’t press it, there would probably be an even greater collapse to the real estate market.

...so what? Why would the companies care? To the extent they rent offices, that's just a huge, unalloyed benefit. To the extent they own extra offices and rent them out to other companies, sure, that's bad for the landlord, but that business model crucially depends on a bunch of other companies renting.
No, and luckily nobody was doing that.

And my question was serious. If you think that what Netflix was asking for should be given as a matter of principle, then it shouldn't matter how large they are, and absolutely every website should never have to pay for bandwidth again. What exactly am I missing?
Discussed this with a few friends also recently, even now during short seller week and future expiration - where billions of Bitcoins are sold to push the price down the impact is about -10-20%.

So $30 billion maybe make a maximum of 40-50% damage which isnt that unusual in its history. Also, unlikely that Satoshi would sell it all in one shot (or sell it at all) - she could just sell a billion a month and market wouldn't care.
I think a particularly determined and curious non-professional can reasonably expect to be successful at stock picking, but yes, for the vast majority of folks, I agree.
I suspect some big players in the book retailing industry gave him a big donation, and then told him why his previous advocacy for "an iPad for every schoolchild" might not be such a great thing. It's amazing how a lobbyist can clarify a politician's thinking! :-)
Let me rephrase a bit, and this is now my opinion not op's. The UX is the most important problem to solve. Sure making a secure federated chat app may be harder in quantifiable sense, the structures are not really know. But for UX, honestly speaking I feel like nothing is known. We can copy WhatsApp interface, just like you can copy signal/WhatsApp architecture. But is that really what makes them successful?
From my understanding HIV is a virus that infects immune cells and uses them to replicate. What happened is that this man had his immune system almost completely destroyed to defeat leukemia, and received stem cells from a donor with the mutation CCR5 known for its reduced risk of HIV infection.

Basically they destroyed the HIV's food source, and likely (at least temporarily) changed the man's new immune cells to the CCR5 variant in them that reduced the effectiveness of the HIV's ability to replicate.

Again, from my lay understanding, HIV changes its cell protein markers to avoid being attacked by immune cells. Often there are multiple HIV variants with different protein markers at one time active in a person.

IMO all but the 'newest' variant likely died of attrition, leaving one or two HIV protein marker variants that the new highly bolstered CCR5 mutant immune cells managed to latch onto and defeat.

I could be way wrong, but from my understanding this is the closest 'model' I can think of for how this would work. However, it's past my usual end-of-day so it may just be gibberish of an overtired mind.
It is sad is how little we have progressed since then.

Agreed. Take any of the modern mainstream languages like Java or Python, for example. If you were to describe them to a non-programmer who didn't know what a programming language was, or why it was needed, you might say something like, "Well, they look a little like English and they use some of the same words from English. But they have very precise meanings which are not exactly the same as in English, and you can put them together in ways which are different than English, and the reason why is to be much more precise and explicit and concise than what you could do in English. And because a programming language has nothing to do with emotions or conveying concepts but instead in purely carrying out a sequence of steps and manipulating and storing data. That's it." In other words, their designer's started with a natural human langauge, then left out the parts that were irrelevant to the computer, then zoomed-in on and enhanced the richness of the expression capabilities when it comes to certain other areas. They threw out the bathwater and made the baby bigger and better! In other words, they were designed starting with the premise (or perhaps it was a conclusion you reach along the way) that so-called natural language programming is pointless or inefficient, and so they want and made another kind of programming, which worked much better. Their requirement was to make a machine that propels itself under water. They knew they were going to call it a submarine. They realized early on there was no need to make that submarine "swim" like a human. They just added propellors and rudders, etc. Making a submarine "swim" was irrelevant. It just had to move through water.
I don't think it's a good idea to spread FUD based on irrational fears of 'radiation'. That has done enough damage to our lives already. These machines or no more dangerous than microwaves, GSM telephones or regular flying.

Now of course, people will respond to me citing authorities or papers claiming otherwise. However, that doesn't mean a thing. There is no issue in the world on which you can't cite someone or something seemingly relevant to support some point. However, if that point is a minority opinion, we usually trust the majority. We accept the majority opinion of doctors, engineers and other professionals in science-backed professions all the time. Straying from that principle in this specific case, because you want to believe that this case is different, is being inconsistent. Inconsistency breeds distrust, which is a reason not to behave inconsistently if you can help it. Therefore, don't just start believing stuff and spreading FUD about it because it suits you. There's nothing to complain about the radiation of these scanners, if you accept there is nothing sufficiently unsafe about microwaves, WiFi, GSM and regular flying.
It is worth also reading Paul Krugman's take on this blog post:

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/30/ben-bernanke-blo...

In particular Krugman notes that the average retiree has basically nothing in interest earnings. The median retiree has a bit more than $100K in total net worth (most of it in housing), and earns bupkis in interest.

In my view, among the many arguments to be made for higher vigilance among the general public (such as mask wearing, limiting social gatherings, etc.), it's to help lower the risk of operating the schools.

> Not a single reasonable company will be willing to pay you more that’s bare minimum to keep you to stay.

That's definitely not true. Indeed, I think that's a pretty bad way to think about comp, leading to an adversarial employer/employee relationship.

As examples, consider Netflix, which is widely known for paying above market, or Gravity Payments, which changed their minimum pay to $70k/year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Payments

I'm just about to post 3 new positions, and I have no interest in squeezing people on cash comp. I want people who are happy, relaxed, and feel like they're being treated well. And I also want a fair salary structure. Could I pressure bad negotiators and naive people and pay less? Absolutely. Will I? Fuck no. Maximizing shareholder value has been called "the world's dumbest idea". I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly up there.
a 10 month calendar with 6 week of 6 days would work for me as well. If July and August were dropped, it would allow some of the original meaning of SEPTEMber, OCTOber, NOVEMber, DECEMber to ring true again. I would propose 4 days of work and two days of leisure per six day week :-)

People have strong tendency to describe things how they think they "should be", especially when someone is looking.

Assets are typically "reverse engineered" by writing tools that convert them to and from whatever proprietary formats the game uses. Other than that, there's not much else to do with them once they're in standard format.

As for the legality of the whole project: there's several different legal objections one could raise under copyright law:

1. That the EULA prohibits reverse-engineering

2. That the resulting reverse-engineering project is infringing the copyright on GTA3's program code (which it kind of has to in order to be a faithful disassembly)
>How to make a living creating apps for Linux, whether it be for the Desktop or the phones?

I want to phrase this with as much hostility as possible: Don't. Software cannot be owned or paid for and any attempt to normalize the opposite is cruel to anybody with a functioning brain. You cannot own a thought, or data, or bits or bytes, and much of the software you will no doubt use to create your premium software was made with this philosophy.

If you want to solicit donations that's very cool and there are people who will donate to you. But any attempt to abridge access to code without mandatory payment is not only ridiculous but purely unethical. (and no, I don't care how many HN points I lose by saying this)
"Passion not spent"

What's my great fear?
I'll tell you; come near...
To lay down in death
with so much left.

Passion not spent -
Oh cowardly regret!
For fear of others?
The thousand deaths.

I'm afraid to die
With no twinkle in my eye -
To pass meagerly by
Yet hidden inside.

To walk through life
Not truly alive,
And to pass in the night
With an unfelt "goodbye".

I tried to delete my Spotify account a while back. Was beyond tired of their constant UI changes and decided that silence was better than constant frustration. I wanted not just to cancel, but delete the account.

Ending the subscription was relatively smooth, only some sad violin music and a questionnaire about why I wanted to close it, but man oh man did I have to go through an obstacle course to actually terminate the accounts. Emails had to be exchanged where I repeatedly confirmed that yes, this was actually something I wanted to do, and yes, I knew I could cancel the subscription instead.
Thanks for introducing me to invidious just now!
But is it efficient? I would say web programming takes about a decade to become proficient in, after you learned to program. There are so many (perhaps accidental) things to know about the DOM, CSS, HTTP, web standards and practices, interactivity, hosting models, database tech, caching & CDNs, integrations & APIs, and god forbid, any "connect the dots" design and ux work that lands on your table.

If poster's boss is advocating for them (or reporting that they are) without any effect, it's a fairly hollow gesture.

If you respect me as an engineer, you do what needs to be done to address my genuine and valid concerns. If you can't, I can still like you as person, but you've ceased to be an effective leader. (I hold myself to that same standard with the teams I lead as well. I'm only as good as 9 parts what I deliver and 1 part what I wish I could deliver.)
Yes! It is a complicated problem. And it just leaves me laying awake wondering how a 19yo solved it so effectively by himself. (agar.io's author) How could he possibly have such depth of skill and knowledge at such an age?

This has been stressing me out this week. I have had the Pinephone and Purism shopping cart tabs open for a week, and I just can't bring myself to do it.

I could maybe justify the current iteration of Pinephone as an experiment, try and make an app and buy it through my company as a freelancer, but Purism would need to have quite a few major apps before I could justify the cost. My heart wants me to support these projects. It almost feels like a moral imperative if we want to actually own and control our mobile hardware ever.

But it almost feels like going off and living in the woods to save the environment, the altenative needs a few more of the mod cons for any kind of serious adoption.

This has genuinely caused me a lot of anguish.
I'm in the same boat as you! Looking to build a real-time multiplayer application (think Figma), and I'm not so sure of what to go for: Mongo is fine I guess but I have a feeling it'll bite me at some point. I've looked into CouchDB, as well as Redis and SQLite.

If anyone has experience with building this kind of thing, I would gladly pay for some consulting.
This got me wondering. Is there much storage space in other vehicles with intelligent driving systems like my Forester for its Eyesight system? Does it have a black box with Linux or something? Or is it going to be some hardened RTOS that does all the optical work in memory with no history?
