Bit of unrelated advice; in one of your other games ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thoughtsha... ) , you address people in Dutch with 'U' (capital u), which in Dutch is only used to refer to God.
My team of five software developers were all born in December. I didn't think anything of it until I saw this post on HN.
> Then HN has flag kills which are like "super downvotes." I've seen a lot of perfectly reasonable comments flag killed for no real reason (just turn on dead in your settings). In particular when they're flying in the face of the site's culture/popular opinion.

[dead] comments are different from [flagkilled] comments. [dead] comments are usually from accounts that have been hellbanned.

I've very, very rarely seen a comment get flagkilled.
They work - it's just that your average practitioner hasn't mastered them yet.
There was a build 2014 session on how it works...it was pretty in depth. The video is on channel 9.
Now this question clarifies why you think too much into simulating reality:

>Anyone else think bootstrap stock format has turned into a negative connotation?

Yes, but that isn't the case with Coinbase. Blue is their chosen brand color so they use it everywhere. Bootstrap just happens to also use blue by default so now blue buttons have become synonymous with it.

Reminds me of Malcom Gladwell's 10,000 hours rule (he wrote about it in Outliers).
Do you sincerely believe that the "random characters" that make up the plan of a terrorist are themselves illegal? A group of Saudi men planned and carried out an attack on New York City in 2001. There - am I now liable for prosecution for describing "terror plans"?

The intent to break the law, the intent to commit terrorist acts, can indeed be illegal. The intent, however, cannot be contained by "random characters," as you put it. The law does seek to ensure that people can live without fear of attack, but the act of mentioning terrorism or mentioning terrorist acts is certainly not illegal. And this is specifically what you said: you said that the random characters which make up a terror plan or worse are illegal.
Having signed up I can see the UI but the Capture button is simply greyed out with no explanation in Firefox on Linux...
But in certain areas and with certain publications this clashes with house style. For example the tabloids/red-tops are happy to refer to Boris Johnson (London Mayor) as BoJo or simply Boris, the broadsheets would say Boris Johnson first and then use "Johnson" to refer to the person as using a first name is considered impolite and/or disrespectful in formal writing (which the broadsheets tend towards at least in non-editorial pieces).

More in depth or higher class pieces that are not expected to be widely consumed may well then go a step further and assume the reader has detailed knowledge of name systems (for example Chinese "Family Name, Given Name" ordering).

So to reiterate the expression of one of the parent posts they appear to be writing to their audience. Be offended or confused if you like.

Given the massive endowments that MIT & the Ivy's are sitting on, it's borderline criminal that they're so selective IMO.
If you're optimizing for having prestigious alumni, then it definitely does matter. I saw an article by a high school student who earned 35k on GitHub's bug bounty program. I was a valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA, and I will never do something like that.
I think you are saying what I am saying: in specialized cases EC is fine and a good cost saving measure.

My only addition to that is that it’s popularity may be due to ease of developing EC databases vs ones with distributed consensus algorithms, and that personally I prefer to start with a system not based on EC, then add EC where necessary whereas it sounds like you prefer to start with EC and add constraints. I think your approach is more popular, but in my personal work experience it leads to more fragile systems which is why I advocate for at least understanding why that choice is being made.

EC systems aren’t inherently buggy. They just by themselves don’t include guarantees that you might find useful or desirable for general workloads.
Humans adapt a whole hell of a lot easier than machines.

Sure, it would be nice to have clean high bandwidth, low latency voice channels to everywhere so you could drop pins and expect the other side to hear it. Unfortunately, high bandwidth never really happened, and some places never ran land lines to everyone's home, and nobody wants to pay the high price of circuit switched voice when packet switched voice mostly works good enough and is enormously cheaper.
Address Sanitizer inserts sentinels on the stack to watch for certain kinds of dangerous stack behavior. I would be willing to bet that the stack overflow could occur without ASAN and it's not a false positive.

> You don't know what scaling problems you're going to get until you've scaled.

This is the point I keep repeating.

If you find yourself needing to scale, the way you scale likely does not match what anyone else is doing. The way Netflix scaled does not look anything like the way WhatsApp scaled. The application dictates the architecture. Not the other way around. Netflix started as a DVD service. Their primary scaling concerns were probably keeping a LAMP stack running and how the hell to organize, ship, and receive thousands of DVDs a day. These scaling problems have little in common with their current, streaming, scaling problems.

It's a weird thing that developers love to discuss and hype up scale and scaling technology and then turn around and warn against the dangers of premature optimization in code. If you ask me, the mother of all premature optimization is scaling out your architecture to multiple servers, sharding when you don't need to, dealing with load balancing, multiple security layers, availability, redundancy, data consistency, containers, container orchestration, etc. All for a system that could, realistically, run quite adequately on an off-the-shelf Best Buy laptop. We have gigabit ethernet and USB 3 on a Raspberry Pi today and people are still shocked you could run a site like HN off a single server. We've all been lobotomized by the cloud hype of the 2010s that we can't even function without AWS holding our hand.
> Sounds more like the Federalist Society to me...

Bingo.
Reeder has a pretty unique look compared to all other RSS readers on the iPad. You wouldn’t mistake another RSS reader for it. The bar on the left side, for example, is not a standard UI element on the iPad (iPad apps usually have bars at the top or bottom) and, as was said, the popover UI is also unique to Reeder (icons instead of lists).
Could you tell me the name of the site? I've been out of New Zealand for awhile, but it would be interesting to see what's available.
I guess I misunderstood the part that said "(let's imagine for a moment that Netflix is watchable over 3G)"...
This will be a good move if it's true.
In the non-pointy end of the plane, I find United slightly less annoying than American... though the only reason I can think of is that American has a really annoying tune which they play with their safety announcements, whereas United has some nice Gershwin. That may not seem like a big deal to you, but... I'm over-sensitive to annoying music.

My personal order of preference is Virgin, Southwest, drive, train, ride donkey, United, American, walk.
On EC2, I increased write throughput on one table by 3X by mounting 2 additional EBS volumes to the server and partitioning the table across the three volumes. That may not be as beneficial to you though if you have many different tables that are being written to.

I you need to clarify your positioning, first. Then work on your GoToMarket Approach.

I think you make a more powerful Value Proposition to developers, instead of individuals. One or two home runs with wildly popular apps that choose to deliver their notification with Notifo will do a lot to drive up the number of devices with your app installed...

I was a freshman at Columbia at the time. CUcommunity's interface was MySpace-esque. The first version of Facebook was very spartan. No photos other than your profile pic, no wall, no messages. Basically nothing other than your info page. The upshot was that you used all of Facebook's features and a (small) subset of CUcommunity's.

Facebook was several months ahead on spreading to other schools, and that was huge. Probably the decisive factor. By the time CUcommunity spread (rechristened as CampusNetwork), I think Wayne is right that it was simply way too late. By the beginning of summer 2004, Facebook's position on college campuses was pretty obviously unassailable.

Edit: found some screenshots of CUcommunity/CampusNetwork: http://www.wikicu.com/CampusNetwork
I use to change my birthdate on a few social networs every few months and I would get always the same people sending best wishes and such.
The stimulus checks, unemployment benefits, at least 85% of PPP money, and education funding all solely benefit regular taxpayers. Large corporations got the equivalent to subsidized loans. Let's say that random pork projects benefit both groups equally. I don't see how regular taxpayers are losing out here.

You're in a fantastic company for networking, and Microsoft is a great partner for many small dev shops. Being a more niche Microsoft partner might be a good differentiator based on the Microsoft name on your resume.

Funny comments, but jokes aside, I think we're missing a very obvious reason why he has signal. Mark most likely has contacts that are super high up in governments and coorporations who use signal since they can't trust any other app. People who say that he just tested out competition, I think you guys underestimate his technological knowledge and his resources waaay too much. If he wanted to do that he could have easily ordered someone to get him a clean phone with a sim card not linked to his name and let that device sit on his desk for testing.
LoC is an old and classic software size metric. It's not perfect, but not completely useless either.

> This is the nature of our business, to constantly do battle with poorly understood problems using imperfect tools in a world where we are fooled into thinking everything is black and white because at the core of our technology everything is a 0 or a 1.

Isn't that extremely sad though? We finally have a perfectly precise tool, yet we keep building gooey piles of uncertainty on top of it.

Sure we're just imperfect humans, but that is what compilers and tooling are for - to point out our mistakes and help us get it right

I'm hoping that in the next 5-20 years Rust and Haskell (and later Idris) will change everything.
There's always the freebie users for every media form - piracy, adblock, etc. As a supplier of such things I can only really hope you'll spread the word to those that do fill my pockets with delicious fractions of a penny and not let it bug me

The rest? Not really my problem - I wouldn't redesign a website to save you time when you're (objectively speaking) worth nothing to me - that's bad business

On paying more - You might (might, I don't believe you) but you'd be in the minority. Having a system that allows you to paypal the site a penny every few months would be infeasible anyway
> Emacs support is on by default in MacOS.

Given that the author is siding with the usability of macOS with something like Emacs over using it in a GNU/Linux distro is somewhat a surprising discovery and perhaps an insight into the falsehood of having a 'consistent' Linux Desktop; even for power-users like the author.

If one has to go through a maze of settings and config files to configure Emacs shortcuts to work 'consistently' on either a GNOME or KDE desktop even for a typical developer, then I would at first question myself if such an endeavour is 'worth it' for something as arcane as Emacs.

While it was a great spectacle to watch the Vi/Emacs wars, I'm afraid that I would favour getting my work done on my MacBook, thank you very much rather than messing around with something that could be easily mistaken as the editor for the prehistoric years.
Judging from the content of this thread, Google’s investments in union busting consultants and their PR strategies are paying out in spades.
I'm speaking within the framework of what is sensible, given the science. If you want the trip to have more lasting effect then according to the research you should have someone guiding you along. It kinda makes sense too. You can spend a trip looking at butterflies and admiring them taking with you from the experience a certain wonder for the beauty of nature. It might even help you with your depression somewhat but will not substitute professional guidance that will help you confront what is an underlying psychological issue actually causing the depression.
Linux wasn't so great in 1995 either. We regularly rebooted for various kernel, ip stack, etc, bugs that would crop up after a fairly short amount of uptime.

Our Sun workstations were very stable though.
Do most people them them on to college as well though?
You're totally right. I agree, and wasn't disputing these facts indeed. Just thinking out loud I guess...

> Other companies like Apache, Redhat, etc also offer us free things to use/play with while monetizing their enterprise/support services. A much more ethical method in my opinion.

Totally, this general business model can get as close as it gets to sustainable open-source. It seems hard to pull off though, lots of dead startups and projects out there, despite a few resounding successes.
This is an active area of CS research into what is called “tracing” - looking at a program and reasoning what it’s output would be. In a research study I was involved in 2 years ago, the efficacy of various teaching methods for introductory computer science were measured by student’s ability to trace program execution rather than by the ability to write code.
The simplest solution is to make a static website of your dynamic one using wget, and then publish that. I did this e.g. for Wordpress sites, works really well and is very reliable. The process can be triggered via a cron script or manually (I wrote a small Wordpress plugin for it). No special hardware, infrastructure or cloud services required. Just make sure all resources are reachable via a link (so wget can find them) or manually point it at a list of otherwise unreachable files (e.g. using a sitemap or .txt file).

The advantage is that you can still use your existing CMS, so your staff won't need to learn a new system, and you also don't need any third-party cloud services.

Actually, if your CMS is properly configured (e.g. correct cache headers) you can also simply put it behind a CDN like Cloudflare, which will handle the caching and scaling for you.

AIDS cases have been to every country in the world which easily satisfies as a pandemic.

Epidemic is different with Covid19 not yet qualifying.

What’s useful about separating the ideas is discovering the root cause. Scurvy used to be epidemic among sailers, making it easier to find the root cause and treatments. Highly localized diseases generally have a specific local cause.
Please don't recommend things for a cough that you clearly know nothing about.

Tonic water absolutely has a medical history. It's not hard at all to find that out by reading the label and doing a little online research.

It makes me extremely uncomfortable for you to talk about tonic water for a very long list of reasons.

Because it contains an actual for serious drug -- quinine -- you can get serious side effects from overusing it. These include vision problems, headache and nausea similar to migraines. IIRC, you can cause yourself permanent vision problems.

Because it's a powerful alkaloid, overuse can cause your stomach to become too alkaline. This can cause you to be unable to digest food and can result in vomiting.

The name "tonic water" is medical in origin. The bitter flavor you speak of was common to a class of medicinal herbs typically referred to as "bitters."

Quinine is a drug related to the drug currently being tested as a possible treatment for covid19: Chloroquine. So casual and uniformed use of it could create resistance in the virus, making actual medical treatment less effective in the future.

I highly recommend you keep a journal and actually read up on anything you are finding personally helpful.

I'm not here trying to tell people what to do with home remedies for casual use. My consistent framing has been "If the shit really hits the fan and doctors have nothing for you, there are other options that may make sense to gamble on if your options are take a chance or die."

I know a helluva lot about medical stuff. My mother wanted to be a doctor and she personally changed the practices of two cancer clinics when she kept my dad alive after they wrote him off for dead. I have another relative who works at the CDC and has for years.

I've been surrounded by medically knowledgeable people my entire life. I also absolutely don't hawk home remedies.

I've spent a lot of years trying to figure out if there is any way to effectively share what I know about CF and other health issues to either be helpful or to somehow get actual medical professionals and scientists to do studies.

I would love to finally have credibility and be taken seriously in the world and have actual respect.

And it matters vastly less to me than avoiding potential harm to potentially millions of people because I'm cute and charismatic and people want to be my fwend and it goes amazingly bizarre places and always has.

I know you mean well. I know you think I'm pathetic and sad and a social outcast and a poor person and you think you are doing something nice by publicly patting me on the head.

I absolutely don't see it that way. I'm extremely uncomfortable with you and other people here clearly desiring some kind of feel good emotional attachment to me personally as your primary goal of engaging me, very much at the expense of best practices for disseminating medically useful information.
Little endian is natural memory ordering and was specified in Von Neumman's EDVAC design doc during world war ii, so the question isn't so much, "why little endian?" but rather, "why not?" Only reason computers were ever designed to use "traditional" ordering is because business mainframes loved BCD and they loved to code GUIs that just blit'd raw fixed memory onto the display driver.
so where's the guide?

Xcode will probably run on iPad soon. I still won't care. As a developer, I need two kinds of freedom: The freedom to choose or build my own language and IDE, and the freedom of my customers to install my software without paying a tax to or needing approval from $FAANG.

Apple has made it quite clear that neither of those is ever going to happen on IOS.
Likely one of two (or two of two) reasons:

1) A particular location is running BSD - a branch office or the like. The whole company isn't migrated.

2) Migration doesn't extend to rebuilding the legacy internal software built over the last ten years, which is Windows based and still needs to be supported so that the current business processes run uninterrupted.
Thanks for that. Has a lot of my favorites so it must be good!
Redefining or extending methods or classes at runtime isn't reflection; that's monkeypatching and/or rebinding new definitions to existing names.

I would agree that Java, C#, and PHP lack the ability to do this without a lot of overcomplications, but at the same time, I've never really found myself in a situation where rebinding or extending classes at runtime was really the best solution. I would actually be quite interested in seeing a usage of that sort of magic that actually makes the solution easier and simpler than other options.
This has actually been a major issue in light of the recent damage from the earthquake/tsunami. Poser generation on the 50hz half of the country has been greatly diminished and the frequency matching stations have insufficient capacity to meet demand.

I really found these lines in braid-00

> Braid is a proposal for a new version of HTTP that transforms it from a state transfer protocol into a state synchronization protocol. Braid puts the power of Operational Transform and CRDTs onto the web, improving network performance and robustness, and enabling peer-to-peer web applications.

> At the same time, Braid creates an open standard for the dynamic internal state of websites. Programmers can access state uniformly, whether local or on another website. This creates a separation of UI from State, and allows any user to edit or choose their own UI for any website's state.

to be very useful to set the overall motivation. If I could humbly request, I think having them in subsequent drafts would be very nice! Thanks for the reply and thanks for all the good work!
