I find it funny that many people are constantly posting " Twitter censorship bad" on Hackernews, a moderated web site.

It's like the people who describe how utopian things would be without government, but for some reason don't want to move to Somalia.

I'm sure there's some unmoderated site filled with Nazi's high fiving each other you could be posting these thoughts on censorship. I don't belive there's any other kind of unmoderated site.
Personally, I just installed ClassicShell and never looked back.
Troll. You clearly know what is meant in this context. Asians are indeed minorities in the context of the United States, just as Caucasians are minorities in Asia. It is pointless to say that Asians are the world's leading majority, when in an individual context such as this one, they are not.
I don't think clinical psychology is dominated by women due to bias.
I can think of two off the top of my head:

1. Professional sports

2. Trading
I had an uncle who was involved in the initial rollout of ATMs in the United Kingdom, for one of the major banks here --- Barclays, maybe? He was managerial track rather than engineering, but he'd still tell horror stories about the high-level executive discussions about the fundamental technology.

Seems there were two choices: the one where PINs were held centrally and all ATMs had to be connected to a phone line so they could validate them; or the one where PINs and your balance were stored on the card, which allowed ATMs to be completely disconnected and so be much more flexible (and cheaper).

Luckily they chose the right one.

Also I have heard, but cannot find a reference for right now, that due to a bug they managed to issue a large proportion of the early cards all using the same PIN. This was apparently the best kept secret in banking until they managed to get them all changed. If anyone's heard of this, I'd love to know more about what happened.

So to stretch this analogy: the snowblower is the Snow Master 1.0, your own unique design, the pinnacle of years of research. Someone else comes along, magically copies it without your permission, and, having no costs to recoup, undercuts you in the market.

I don't know if that's stealing, but I do know you'll think very hard before starting work on Snow Master 2.0.
Which OS/browser are you using?

Thanks!
Please use this stuff sparingly though, especially things like resolveClassMethod: as it makes for some incredibly difficult to follow code that can segfault with some very strange error messages. Your future team members thank you.
The nice thing about Vim mode is that it glosses over latency by making simple edits take fewer keystrokes. It's sort of why vi was invented.

In the words of Bill Joy himself:

> ... you've got to remember that I was trying to make it usable over a 300 baud modem. That's also the reason you have all these funny commands. It just barely worked to use a screen editor over a modem. It was just barely fast enough. A 1200 baud modem was an upgrade. 1200 baud now is pretty slow.

> 9600 baud is faster than you can read. 1200 baud is way
slower. So the editor was optimized so that you could edit
and feel productive when it was painting slower than you
could think. Now that computers are so much faster than you
can think, nobody understands this anymore.
I've been wanting to move away from Chrome for a while (too many issues in too short a space of time). Opera looks to be the near-bleeding-edge browser I actually want. Minimal UI, draft standards support, efficient and still finds time to be innovative. If you stick with Chrome for the UI give this a try.
"Vegetable" is a culinary distinction for plant matter eaten at dinner; tomatoes are vegetables. "Fruit" is a biological distinction for plant matter that contains seeds within an edible shell; tomatoes are fruits.
Now, now. This poor student is just trying to get a job; it's not nice to give him the finger....
I agree with all the TSA articles on HN. I have also flagged all of them, because they're obviously preaching to the choir, and per the site guidelines, they're not specifically interesting for hackers.
I wonder if HN could stem the inevitable flow towards oblivion by requiring real names.

I would definitely support a requirement that real names be used. That said, I don't think that real names will "stem the flow toward oblivion." Having to provide your real name might stop someone from posting porn (as on 4chan, Reddit, etc.) but when it comes to quality of posts as we demand on HN there is nothing immoral or particularly embarrassing about submitting an article on the TSA. Non-anonymity only stops people if what they are doing will embarrass them or get them in trouble.
I strongly disagree with your characterization. MJ has even said he wasn't sure who'd win him vs. Kobe.

There is plenty of debate. Don't forget the league-wide diluting effects of the '89 and '95 expansion drafts, something I neglected to mention. People really do underestimate how less competitive Jordan's era was than today (but many fans do get it).

I'm a longtime NBA fan, and I follow basketball news regularly + compete in bball fantasy leagues.

And no, Kobe and LBJ are not assholes on Jordan's level. Jordan is notorious for being an asshole, unlike the former two.
> Because there are teams of people who jump on patches as soon as they are released, backward engineer what they fixed, and use that to produce attacks.

This should serve as an incentive to stay on the bleeding edge of security updates. Make automatic updates automatic without requiring a restart every time. Not an incentive to sit on our hands and wait until the second Tuesday of a month. The term Exploit Wednesday was coined in response to Patch Tuesday. :)

Ultimately, I think this change from a monthly security release pattern to a "as soon as it's ready" security release pattern is what needs to happen. For the good of everyone.

Then if people get 0wned, it's their own damn fault.
What work? Data gathering. Put sensors on your kid, to track movement and stillness. And whatever else you can think of.

It's a time/motion study!
Congratulations! It's been a long time waiting!

I've wanted to develop desktop UIs that look professional and are lightweight, and I wonder if Racket, with its built-in UI framework, could be a good choice.

I did try it once but the hello world app was already really heavy (200MB of RAM instantly taken , if I remember correctly), but maybe I did something wrong (debug mode perhaps??)

Can I package a Racket app with a MacOS installer and sign it? How about Windows and Linux?
There are formulaic requirements based on volatility and risk, but those aren't specific to one stock. The clearing exchange exercised discretion in applying a new collateral requirement, and in doing so put its thumb on the scale.
> Alcohol's a useful tool for keeping a population compliant and sedated

The same could be said for most forms of recreation.
Unhinged sounds about right, the blog post started out normal but it became increasingly disconnected and unsubstantiated. It read like something someone on adderall would churn out
It was an ad-hoc decision to go beyond the formulaic requirements.
Frankly, if the Vice article is true (and it seems plausible given the rambling style of this one) he sounds pretty unhinged. Is this the effect of feeding only on Soylent?
You can’t do a trial when there is no outbreak.
There is no need to paint such a bleak picture. You might have made life choices that makes bicycling harder, that's pretty common but if you look at the population as a whole it's an extreme view.
Commuting 35km one way everyday by bicycle is very possible, when I dropped off the kids at school about 20% of the parent commute with bicycle 15km to the city center all year through winter etc. Which reflects official stats with a 12%-20% modal share in Sweden.
I think this depends on what you're graphing. If it's an application, I think it has a better chance of working.

If it's something like a driver or something with a hal or tables of functions or callbacks it might be harder. If your codebase is large... hmm.

Last time I tried something like this was a decade ago so things might have gotten better.
It's amazing how regularly people reinvent this. Truly the perennial failed paradigm.

I once worked with a programmer who had a bee in his bonnet about visual modeling languages. Every week or so he would arrive for another hour-long harangue on the topic. Nothing I said could convince him of anything, until one day it occurred to me to suggest that he take a moderately complex real-world model (from one of our clients) and mock it up in his visual language. He disappeared for three months, then showed up at my office, said "You are right! Can't be done," and left. That was the end of that. I was lucky, though, because this guy was smart. Had he come back with visual spaghetti instead I would have been done for.

I should add, though, that people have told me that visual programming languages have found a niche in industrial process control. I have yet to hear a good answer as to what it is about this domain that makes visual programming actually work, since it's so infamous for being useless in pretty much every other area of computing.
I like eating lunch with my coworkers some of the time. (Maybe once a week.) It's good team building.

However, I'm an introvert, and I pair program nearly every day. This tends to leave me wanting a nice break in the middle of the day where I can have some time alone. Also, my idea of a good/healthy lunch usually doesn't intersect with any sort of work-provided lunch, if such a thing is being provided.
I guess it depends on a text editor. Mapping a key to insert that character is one possible solution.
What is really needed is a common chassis. A common carcass that allows me the put whatever I want inside it. If I want a pinebook[1], I want to be able to put pinebook guts inside it, if I want a mnt reform[2], I want to be able to put mnt reform guts inside it.

Too bad eoma68[3] is still sci-fi.

TOFU seems to work pretty well for SSH. AFAIK not many people actively verify host fingerprints on first use. It doesn't protect against MITM attacks on the first connection, but I wonder if that's not a case of better being the enemy of good to some extent?
I was more guessing that these people have a bunch of money tied up in commercial real estate and they want people out and about again.
The youtube channel vsauce tried putting people in this situation by putting them in a fake railroad switching outpost and having the operator step out for a phonecall. They took care to educate the subject exactly on how the system works without them suspecting anything, trying to eliminate many of the factors you mention.

The video is well worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sl5KJ69qiA
do you have any idea how big the num_workers number is? I'd wager for the average employee the benefit will be neagative, as in paycheck - union dues. The real benefit goes to the union bosses as num_workers * union_dues.
This is awesome, has the same "spirit" of the Fairphone. I think this is the direction the industry should be moving. However it will not be easy to break this vicious and wasteful cycle that feeds many companies nowadays.
If we can justify expecting an impoverished single mother with a million other things demanding her time to jump through those same hoops to own a Glock in Massachusetts then we can expect her counterpart to do it to vote in Georgia. (Don't get me started on the judicial process series of amendments, they're ignored by the state(s) to an even worse extent.)

Frankly I think that level of restriction if bullcrap when applied to what is a plainly written right but this level of restriction is applied piecemeal to various rights by various states both at present and in the recent past. Legislatures does not see things as plainly as you or I do. They deal in these kinds of mental gymnastics as a routine part of their business. Just because something's obviously incompatible with the constitution doesn't mean it can't be the law of the land (especially at a state level) for a generation or three.

As an aside, an ID is typically required for all sorts of things that poor people do a hell of a lot more than rich people (change jobs, use a check cashing service, sell scrap metal, sign a lease on a new apartment, register a car, apply for .gov assistance, interact with the government in general, etc.) so they do tend to treat acquiring/renewing IDs with more urgency than the HN crowd because not doing so will cause them problems in shorter order.
Ok, I spent much of yesterday working on this issue. I reduced the line spacing a decent amount and I have a Kindle version under review with Amazon. It should be available in the next few days :)

Thanks for the constructive feedback.

I'll update here and on twitter when it's ready.
There is undoubtedly warming of the climate, but "hottest year ever recorded" without mentioning when these records started is just sensationalism.
Obviously overkill/unneeded overhead, but most window AC units have a 'fan-only' setting that doesn't run the compressor. They aren't entirely sealed when not in use, either, of course. It does seem like it be easy enough to build a box with a fan and some louvers, maybe even a frame to hold an insulated cover on the inside...
There was this blogpost a while back which I can't seem to find, suggesting that the division is between:

* people who view democracy as a set of values, and if you do not share those values then you are against democracy.

* people who view democracy as the democratic principles (voting, representation, freedom of assembly, and so on)...

In my world (I belong to the second group) democracy is freedom of speech, the exchange of ideas, and coming face to face with values and opinions that you do not agree with (in fact you may find them abhorrent), and thinking that that's the whole point.

I found it an enlightening take on the situation, and thought that I'd share it here.
Specially if:

1 - The community was repeatedly infringing the TOS.

2 - Reddit has liability to what's being posted on it
Didn't Reddit literally get called out for "reddit conspiracies" from a senator recently?
Or anonymous interwebz commenters?

(That's a general comment, not directed at you or any other specific person)
Not what you are looking for, but there is ImgurViewer app on fdroid. Works well with imgur, gfycat, redgifs and more
There are, for instance, buildings with large areas that are open to the public and other areas which hold large amounts of money that are very important to protect.
Curious what those were.
To be fair, solar mix places more stress on the electrical grid and likely requires more expertise to maintain in countries struggling with brain drain. That said it's still preferable to building more coal plants.
A bit outside your original topic, but these days I kinda almost wish there was a scratch like application for prototyping things, but with access to real API's for doing useful work.
Do they even claim to hold an equivalent in cash still?
It's absurd to intimate the grievances people have surrounding the 2020 election are cult conspiracies. I have enough reasons to dislike Trump, and I'll tell you this election was an absolute disaster. It's obvious to any neutral party.
Oh, no submissions, what a surprise. No one knows who you are.

I'll tell you more when you give me your email address to discuss. And a public profile with your real name. I'll share mine, if you have the cojones to share yours, friend.
Bitcoin has seen a 300%+ rally in less than three months[1].

It might be related to the connection used. I've heard that the issue doesn't present when using DisplayPort as opposed to HDMI, but I have tried different dongles.

And it's not terribly bad, just that I pretty much draw the full 92W the power adaptor supplies and get the mentioned thermal throttling much sooner than without.

Running a bunch of docker containers, slack, and general everyday workflow. Doing all the good stuff like ad-blocker and checking process monitor.

Our solution isn't the most lightweight, but still the end result is that plugging in an external monitor (1080), my productivity goes down dramatically which is the opposite of how multiple monitor setups are supposed to work. :-)
Consider what social media would look like without Section 230. Could it even exist? It would need automated tools to verify the accuracy of millions of posts in real time. I doubt they could be built even with a massive budget. If you rely on user reports of inaccuracy, you'll need a huge staff to deal with everything, and will be bombarded by trolls acting in bad faith.

Ironically, given all his complaining, if Section 230 didn't exist, Twitter would have no choice but to ban Trump. He'd be an absolute nightmare in terms of liability.
Markets have a way of humbling the intellectually honest. Many smart developers have lost more than they thought possible trying to outsmart the market. It's just numbers right? Bitcoin is up 3.7 million x now from 12 years ago, with average fees of $11 a transaction now. There's also less retail adoption than 3 years ago. I could point out other counterintuitive facts, such as, the price going up higher when inflation was higher (100% inflation year 1.)

One must come to crypto with an open mind if one wants to discover the truth of it. Bitcoin, and other coins go both higher and lower than you think possible. disclaimer: I am biased.
I would only go to your competitor if you have a really good relationship with them, and you know that your report won't be taken as a threat.

If you don't, you're exposing yourself to many problems for very little upside, and my experience is that, when cornered, most people don't tend to react in a reasonable and logical manner (or even in a manner that caters to their own interests). For example, the competitor could accuse you to have came across this information illegally (whether you did or not in the eyes of the law is irrelevant: once you're faced with a lawsuit, your best likely outcome is that you will only have to pay your lawyer's bills); or, they could think you're preemptively covering your ass before starting a smear campaign against them, and beat you to the punch with accusations and threats of their own, and so on.

On the other hand, as some have pointed out, this is a good marketing opportunity for you—you just need to be careful how you use the information. I would, however, avoid making _any_ references to competitors (even indirectly by referring to “our competitors”), because you don't want to be petty, and you also don't want to ever have to answer the question “Who are these competitors of yours?” in front of a court stenographer.

You do not mention if the PCI violations could flow through to your competitor's clients; are the credit cards those that customers use to pay for the competitor's SaaS, or are they stored on behalf of customers to provide the service itself (e.g.: the way, say, Stripe stores your customers card data for you)? A breach that leaks credit card data in this case would be catastrophic not just for you, but for your customers as well—and these are consequences that have a material impact on the quality of your product over your competitors'.

From a marketing viewpoint, keep in mind that the value this piece of intel is also likely to be proportional to the sophistication of a prospective customer. A potential large client that could is more likely to be sensitive to something like PCI than small fish, and knowing that you can plant the bug in their ear that your competitors might not be as up-to-date on PCI as you are could make the difference between a sale and a missed opportunity.
If you're running someone else's code, imo that's not reproduction in the first place, just like re-running an experiment using the original experimenter's preparations and lab apparatus is not what's usually meant by "reproducing" an experiment. Too much undocumented stuff can creep in if you don't independently reproduce, with independent apparatus, preparations of samples, etc. (I don't think having someone's code is useless, and it can be especially useful for elaborating on the original experiment, but I would purposely avoid looking at it if I were aiming for an independent reproduction.)
I would personally alert your competitor before disclosing anything the public.

As far as putting them out of business, I wouldn't be so certain of that outcome. For one thing the matter of PCI compliance is between your competitor and their payment processors. If you figure out a way to report them, their processor may just give them a chance to fix it and it will all be handled quietly. Or it could result in an audit, fines, their processor dropping them, etc. Those are all bad for the competitor, but not necessarily something that will put them out of business.

Posting on a public forum has potential to scare customers if there is such a place to post your message for your niche where "everybody" will see it. But there's a lot of ways for that to backfire as well depending on how you handle the posting of the message.
space exploration is awesome but it will be more awesome if we find life because that will tells us more about life and us.
Without knowing anything more than what you've said here?

Groovy and Grails

Postgresql

JQuery + Bootstrap + ??? on the frontend
I knew this was going to happen.
Intermediate mode: You could program the discrete logic onto a tiny CPLD and probably still hide it inside the 74'193. That way you'd still technically be complying with the "no microcontrollers" constraint.
I don't know anything about PCI violations but I doubt that reporting someone would "put him out of business".

Reporting someone is a pretty weak move. A strong move would be a campaign emphasizing the superior features of your product, such as PCI compliance. Seems like a pretty easy sell, especially in today's environment when there's a security breach every five minutes.
Hmm, I find $120/year (after official release) quite a high price for what seems to be different open source software and a 4 slot server packed together.
I am convinced the only way to shut this down is probably for
Apple and Microsoft to band together and remove support for external content entirely from Mail and Outlook.

Sure all (intrusive, privacy-violating) newsletters and email messages will turn into "click to read" links, but that's probably a better situation than what we have now.
Interesting - we used to have tracking pixels and now we have upgraded to active code spy pixels?

Tracking pixels go way back, they were used primarily for deliverability and engagement analysis.

The article says that now the sender can see what street you are on. I thought google proxied these so you got a google IP - how do they defeat google's proxy? Also you would think that most email providers would filter out spyware - I have not picked up any of these spy pixels through google so far.
I guess we can all agree that if someone wants to include analytics in their product, an opt-out would be nice.
