Gotcha. Never ceases to amaze me how some parts of the world work...
I know it sounds crazy, but I've found teaching my mother to use VMWare had an easier learning curve than BootCamp.
Climate change will inevitably result in a reduction in biodiversity on Earth. I would argue that that is automatically bad. Biodiversity is the single greatest untapped resource that we have - it's the reason this is Earth, and not a rock. It would be beyond irresponsible to allow biodiversity to be lost before we have even scraped the surface of understanding it.

I can't believe that the argument has shifted from "climate change is not happening" to "even if it is happening, climate change doesn't matter". At least some scientists would agree with the first statement. I doubt that any would agree with the second.
I love Joe but he was wrong about JSON in exactly the way you describe.
Micro note: today I learned that "IIIF" is the International Image Interoperability Framework [1], a standardized way of, uh, delivering images over the web. You pronounce it "triple-aye-eff" (which seems like a failure of tradition, since I2C is "aye-squared-see" then IIIF should be "aye-cubed-eff", right).

The distinction goes back to typewriters.

The author mentions that the typewriters had a return lever that could also do a line feed.

What they missed is that:

* You could still freely move the carriage without advancing the paper if you wanted: there was a carriage release button;

* You could also advance paper manually at any time, while keeping the carriage at its current position;

* You could often adjust line spacing, including setting it to 0, which means that the big lever would only return the carriage, but not advance the paper.

In short, CR and LF were separate useful functions on a typewriter.

The backspace key was useful for the same reason; obviously, it wouldn't erase text - it would move the carriage just like the space bar would, but in opposite direction.

These were necessary for:

* Underlining text (by overtyping the underscore character over lines of text);

* Adding accents, or crossing zeros with overtyping;

* Bold text by retyping the same line;

Etc.

Tab stops in your favorite document editor come from the same era: the "Tab" key would release the carriage, and the spring would pull it forward until the next physical stop (whose positions you would manually set). The feature was made to make typing tabular data easier, hence the name.

That said, the author has a solid point about why we have CR and LF in that order.

To wit, on typewriters, the LF+CR lever would advance the paper first, because it made sense both mechanically and from the UX perspective (you would nudge it to advance paper by whatever line spacing you set, as opposed to manual advance which could be a fraction of that).

Returning the carriage, and then advancing paper indeed makes more sense on the terminal, where all operations but CR take a fixed amount of time.

That was the value of the article, really : to give motivation for CR+LF rather than LF+CR for line ending.

The former works well with the terminals, the latter - with typewriters.

Computers therefore use CR+LF.

If you treat them right, why would they leave? You are just planning for abuse in this case, which no amount of tooling will make okay.

Is the permission popup that asks users to allow/block access to the location, tracking, etc, tied to the App Store?

On Android, it doesn't matter the source of the app. If the app wants to access your location, camera, files, etc, you need to give it access. I don't see why this new iOS feature to "ask apps not to track" has to be different, isn't it all part of what the "app sandbox" lets them do?

Apple can't control what's in the 3rd party stores, but they control iOS and what apps are allowed to do.
I have always felt that nice, filterable lists of data tailored to non-technical users is severely lacking in the web of linked data. This is a first attempt at filling this gap.

Produpedia takes the sophisticated rdf tuples of DBpedia[1] and somewhat dumbs it down to tables of different categories. This allows for fine-grained search configs, easily shareable by URL. (While interactive, I assume it is not enough so to be eligible for a Show HN prefix, so I omitted it.)

What I would ultimately like to see is an open data alternative to common commercial product search engines like Google Shopping. DBpedia and Wikidata[2] datasets (both related to Wikipedia infoboxes) are not very useful in regards to actual "products", but this is a first step towards that goal.

Some more details are explained on the site itself.

Personally, I'd like to see his enthusiasm more focused toward space megastructures, such as O'Neill Cylinders and Dyson Swarms. It seems to me that humanity would benefit a lot more from mastering industrial-scale manufacturing and construction in space than sticking ourselves in another large gravity well.
Where did he say that was the ONLY requirement? It's possibly the most important for him but unlikely to be the only requirement.
>Tab Groups like Chrome

I knew it had added that feature but I didn't actually try it until just now. And oh my god you can FOLD the group... tab management just got a lot better for me!
>(b) we allow businesses to profit wildly while not paying enough (by exploiting (a)), because we have the taboo that not meddling with the market is the best course of action. A more englightened society that didn't pay too much attention to economy pundits working for rich people, might find a way for better revenue sharing with employees...

You have to be careful there because the overwhelming surplus of cheaply acquired goods/services goes to the people who received the goods and services and not the person selling the goods and services.

Businesses only capture it when they have a competitive advantage (either because they have no competition or b/c the cost savings can't be matched by a competitor).

Grocery clerks are lowly paid. But grocery is a competitive, low margin business. So those low wages mostly mean cheap food.
Besides, on the server the real trend I've seen is Alpine. Far less attack surface than CentOS anyway. If your applications work with musl libc, you're in business, and worst case you can install glibc (which packages like OpenJDK do).
github has a lot of constraints due to their size and services, most startups don't have those same issues.

cloudflare is a good way to do it on the cheap. as revenue comes in, you can either do internal, self-hosted mitigations and the like, or you can go with cloud mitigation providers. both cost a bunch and require significant IT/operations spending and staffing (self-hosted more so) to afford it and make it possible.

once your at a sizable pipe to your upstream provider(s), talk to them to find out where to call BEFORE an attack occurs, figure out how to navigate their offers as needed QUICKLY and efficiently to keep your service outage minimized, and see what it will cost you. almost every big ISP does this.

if all you do is buy a firewall, so what - your pipe will still fill up. that's why you need the upstream ISP.

in short, it's not cheap or easy but do this NOW before you need to.

if you're cloud hosted - e.g. DO, AWS, Azure, etc - look at your terms of service and call your account manager and find out what they can do for you and what it costs. again, do it before hand.

ABSTRACT

Psychologists have repeatedly shown that a single statistical factor—often called“generali ntelligence”—emerges from the correlations among people’s performance on a wide variety of cognitive tasks. But no one has systematically examined whether a similar kind of“collective intelligence”exists for groups of people. In two studies with 699 people, working in groups of two to five, we find converginge vidence of a general collective intelligence factor that explains a group’s performance on a wide varietyof tasks. This“cfactor”is not strongly correlated with the average or maximum individual intelligence of group members but is correlated with the average social sensitivity of group members, the equality in distribution of conversational turn-taking, and the proportion of females in the group.
And Tarkovsky himself died of cancer likely from that exposure.
So you admit that total case numbers are not very good, particularly compared to a neighboring country that has not started vaccinating. Thats a good first step.

Scapegoating the orthodox jews? More than 92% of 70+ in Israel have received both doses of the vaccine. Are you blaming the high number of cases on this very small segment?

What happens when elderly all cause mortality is elevated substantially in 2021? This is the ultimate test for the vaccine.
I attended FOSDEM'21 as a speaker and the overall experience was very pleasant & smooth. No technical issues that occurred during the talk or q/a. Very well done to everyone involved!
> 2008 should have demonstrated that SEC is virtually powerless to take on the big guys.

They are the ONLY organization mandated to do so. Lacking specific power "to take on the big guys" (whatever that means) is a different issue. The SEC has the awareness of the market manipulation, as this monitoring and analysis is what they do. Congress should be speaking to them, not holding some theater.

> The purpose of a congressional hearing is to create awareness.

The awareness comes from media more than any other source. Are you implying that there is a lack of awareness for any individual interested in this topic? I feel like I'm talking to someone who participates in a different reality. GL with whatever.
Either works for me, the key is to draw your attention away from the thing you were previously working on as much as possible.
Hi there,

I'm very happy you found it easy to install. This has definitely been one of our priorities from the beginning — I personally feel like it's a very important, but often overlooked detail, particularly in open source projects.
I see so multiple page loads are also possible. Is the threshold documented ? Say for example for postgres ?
No idea why you're getting downvotted. I'm in a not-so-rich country (though definitely not poor) and I can totally understand that some things you just can't afford, even if they may give better value for money.

Isn't the obvious solution for Microsoft in the case of the Kinect to just up the price so they aren't selling it at a loss (assuming they are)? Hobbyists will still buy them and do innovative things with the device, especially if there appears to be less risk of C&Ds down the line.
Also, we are not making money off this and if YC wants to run the place, we are more than happy to let them :)
Boy was U2's first album, so the sentence suggests Edge was using delay before he started recording U2 songs.
I don't think Haskell training per se would ever work.

Haskell is beautiful because smart people find it to be a really good way to express their problems and solutions. Haskell is the way their thinking comes out. So if you're in that 3% you probably know and possibly even use Haskell already because you have that sort of train of thought. If you're in the remaining 97%, you could only do much less or barely nothing at all until you had had a long series of "aha!"s, not often even related to Haskell itself.

Instead of language training, effectively a mindset-changing smartness training is what would have to come first.
The Beatles have already embraced MP3, last year's release of the box set also saw a limited edition USB key containing FLAC and MP3 versions of the songs.

I read it in Arnold's interview, years ago in a print magazine.

But I now took an effort to find a reference for you:

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features...

Grep the text for "Rockwell".

Rockwell was listening to a speech by Malcolm X – the Nazis and Black Muslims
had formed an alliance – and this was the real reason Arnold was there.

So as you see my initial point stands. A person who is a supremacist and hangs out with Nazis is a bad role model for children. Would you agree?
We're already at a point where machines do most of the work.

There are so many homeless Americans because our government has failed to manage the resources of our country to provide even a basic poverty level standard of living for everyone. There are countless reasons and studies about how or why this occurred but I think the reality is rather simple. People in power exploit those they control to get more wealth and power. Whether it's the manager at mcdonalds or bezos himself, if they can abuse their power they will. The reason there is so much anger against handouts to the destitute is because this reduces the power these oligarchs hold. Unless you're topping Forbes richest list then you're a peon in their game and they're not going to capitulate to the life of a pleb without a fight that'd make Hitler look like Rosa parks.
Well, looks like they are planning to do this not just with smartphones, but also with smart TVs and even computers. (I guess the latter means that you wouldn't be allowed to install and use an OS that is not supported by the required software.)
Assuming they are well connected to ARM, I wonder if they get to be working on uArc based ARMv9?

And I think this also shows that Apple has no intention to build an ARM chip for its Desktop and Mac Pro products. Had this been the case I think the three would not have jump the chance for its own Startup.
This is pretty close to what I do, but I also try and keep track of what I read. To do this, I just bookmark everything I read in pinboard so if I remember some tendril of a thing, I can search for it. In general my memory is horrible, every little bit helps.
To say that Godel's proof is essentially Anselm's is somewhat shortsighted. Godel used not only modern notation, but also modal logic (which would not exist until the mid-20th century) to prove the necessary existence of God.

My biggest point of contention with your claim is that Anselm didn't make a contingent/necessary distinction. Instead, he was caught up in a muddled "exists in understanding/exists in reality" distinction which is decidedly not an analogue of the former. To go a step further, Anselm merely assumed the possibility of God, whereas Godel actually proved it.
yet what about all the people who are deprived of the content because the don't have the income to pay for it?
content creator slightly worse off for hundreds of thousands if not millions of people better off seems like a fair trade to me.
Have a type provider ;)

And yes: syntax is not quite so nice.
That cuts both ways, though. It would be pretty easy to argue that it is not the "appropriate course of action" to implement the copyright or patent system in the way we have, and that, indeed, the "appropriate course of action" is to have minimal -- or even no -- protections.

I am currently sitting in my room across the street from a church that is in full swing, 100+ people singing together in a single room. I don’t live in the middle of nowhere, I am in Oakland CA. We have many confirmed cases and have been getting quarantine and stay in place messages for the last 9ish days?

It is totally baffling, do people really need military and police intervention to force them to not get a deadly virus?

It would be nice if they start a Great War Against Disease, and spend as many trillions as needed so no one ever gets the flu, any cold, or any other disease ever again.

People keep saying "that's not possible" but there are already a lot of companies working on it.

Show me a place I can make $300,000 working on curing diseases and I'd happily spend my life working on it. At the moment making websites pays better.
The British Empire was the pivot of world power through to 1947. Yup, then it dissolved and Britain was bankrupt, but the transfer of wealth didn't go from London to New York, the continental power of the United States made all the wealth anyone needed. Bismark said it “God has a special providence for fools, drunkards, and the United States of America.”
Indeed. Early Hans were not genetically distinct from us, but they did not have iPhones to distract them.

I have a Tesla Model Y and I love it so much. I also paid $10k for “full self driving” and I’m in the beta program and I’d ask for a refund for that if I could. It behaves unpredictably - sometimes it seems smarter than you could imagine and then it does something that seems obviously dumb. That unpredictability makes it stressful to drive because being ready to take over instantly means trying to predict what it will do. I couldn’t live with myself if it did something I wasn’t prepared for and someone got hurt. So I don’t use it.
It’s unfortunate that Elon has gone all in on self driving being the future of Tesla because they built a hell of a car on its own merits.

These Tesla threads are always tense but there’s a lot of important discussions to be had about Tesla and FSD wrt technology and society. That said user: omedyentral seems to be farming anti tesla rage both here on HN and on their Twitter page. I’m not sure that’s in the spirit of what HN is trying to be.

You don't have to enable port forwarding to get your router exploited. I'd argue that port forwarding has neither positive nor negative effect on your router's security.

I've been hosting from home for 20+ years and I've never been troubled. But I only run static websites.
Having Microsoft and other platform owners to cover your back as a semi-big game also helps. :)
In fact, it has been shown that there are languages that have syntactic constructions which are context-sensitive (in a generative linguistic PoV. cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chomsky_hierarchy). For example Swiss German variants (http://books.google.com/books?id=JOjoWrP4tnIC&lpg=PA165&...)
There are some choice ones in there. "Perhaps if we enforce a 'if this is your first night at nyc.js, you have to

Do you include Python in the fringe? It seems that Python has gone quite mainstream recently. I'd still count Erlang and Haskell in the fringe.
Okay, now pretend to hold a gun in your hand. Point the gun up and point the gun down. Which path does your hand follow?

> (because C gives you more time before you run into scalability problems)

That's true for implementing the same algorithm. But C is so hard to get right, that you will probably be able to use only the simplest algorithms in your C code. (Or the other way round, you can scale by using better algorithms in a higher level language like Python much easier and longer than you can do so in C.)

That makes the comparison more complicated. Also Python (and most other languages) work quite nicely together with C. So you can start with Python and replace the hotspots with C. (And be sure to identify the hotspots with a profiler---lest you guess wrong.)
I have built a house. You don't necessarily need professional blueprints but it's a good idea to at least have a scale drawing of your floor plan. Otherwise you won't really know how much of various building materials you will need. How many windows? What size? Where will they be positioned? Will they actually fit there?

Also from a practical standpoint you probably won't be able to get a building permit without blueprints or drawings of some sort (though this varies).
Surely the more relevant dichotomy here is monism(materialism) vs dualism?

For those who find determinism unsatifying, I doubt indeterminism feels like much of an improvement.

Haskell didn't take it from Lisp, and the taking didn't happen in the '90s. There were Hope and Miranda, long before, darlings of PL research.

And the language that took the research baton from Lisp was Peter Landin's ISWIM, and its descendant, the Meta Language of LCF.
What's wrong with Nerdtree? Just its looks?

I find it much more useful than the file trees in any of the gui editors I've tried. You don't need to leave your keyboard and you can create, delete and move files directly from the tree which some gui editors don't even allow you to do. If you haven't tried it give it a shot.
I replied to your second link already. I will note that the profile "DupDetector" came across to me as obnoxious, cold, unfriendly and hostile and as having an ugly agenda. Part of the value your prior efforts to cross-reference duplicates had is that they were associated with a well-known, trusted member of a community who was (by all appearances to me, as someone who isn't here all that much) held in quite high esteem by the community as a whole. That serves a very different social function from a robot intent on weeding out duplicates as ugly and intolerable imperfections in our collective garden.

I am about to get off line and do other things for a bit. Might as well stop here. I'm not a hacker. I'm a people person who has been dragged kicking and screaming into learning a little code because it serves other interests of mine which have been poorly served by other approaches. Historically, hackers and other more technically oriented types tend to not much appreciate my views, especially so on issues like this one. In the interest of not wasting your time or mine: sayonara. :-)

It depends of what you want to do.

IMHO it is really stupid trying to do what makes old standard programming shine(c, c++,python{this could be used to program web too}) with web programming, as it it not good idea to use old languages to manage documents and information(in which web programming shine).

You will find people that only have experience with one of those camps that will tell you that you only have to know one of them(when you only have a hammer see every problem as a nail.)

So I recommend you: first understand where you want to go, then learn the best tools for getting there, not the other way around.
Well, trollish or not, I'm kind of curious. HAS anyone put together a technology breakdown of YC companies?
