> Maybe driver-less buses would be a new sweet spot? Maintain detailed road maps for the driving software instead of tracks?

Would be a political nightmare. One of these autonomous busses hit a passenger and it becomes a policy nightmare. Public control center gets hacked, its a technical nightmare.

To problems like this, sometimes the solution isn't tech.
I really dislike the full screen on macOS. I wish the little green balls would maximize, not full-screen. Even on modern hardware, the transition between spaces is a waste of time and resources. I much prefer immediately switching to an open application.
Not good -- having to read some additional link to a top post of a reddit thread that mentions the term over 10 times but never explicitly defines it is really tough for a reader c'mon.
I saw that the link went to some reddit post without a specific comment or anything and wasn't going to click it.

So on that post after reading paragraph after paragraph I kind of get it but man it's really not explicit and just talked about even there like it's a thing. It isn't. Using the term is as wacky as the actual topic being discussed about 'normal people think Defund means Defund'.

Let's create a definition then of something like:

sanewashing • deliberately glossing over or attempting to conceal unpleasant or insane facts or actions about something or someone.
You're right, I'm luckier than several billions of people in the world. But my point is simply this: the fact that I wasn't born in the US was not in my control. If I want to move here, some people want me here, and it is in my control to do so, I just feel that I have the right to do so.

As far as the last few lines in my comment go: I was expressing bitterness at the fact that we foreign workers are being dismissed as worthless talent-less job-stealers. In my comment I wanted to be dismissive of those who are dismissive of me. I am not really so in real life, as I know that the ones being so vile here are not like that in person, because everyone is more complicated than that.
Each community decides what is "fair" in that community. Each community "represents" a slice of people. People leave communities that don't seem fair to them, that don't make them feel represented.

TL;DR: Tribal people have mores. That's how tribes, people, and mores work.
Disappointed they did not forge their own engine like those foundry shops in India. /s

Made a disk wheel for a Bugatti, but the brakes look like they’re from a Corolla.
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!

That said, why does an “asymptomatic” senator get a test, while symptomatic medical personnel still gets denied them?
Honestly, if this goes through, New York should just bus people to the closest states that got the coronavirus bill money.

This should ensure that people get the proper care and definitely won't cause large amounts of spreading outside of New Tork.
This is an interesting hypothesis, and I've also heard something similar said of clojure: it makes lisp just a little bit less opaque (by way of macros not being so popular, introducing {} and [] as a little bit of extra syntax, emphasizing a very targeted philosophy on several aspects, etc.
King Arthur is absurdly expensive. I'd say Gold Medal is a much better benchmark and it's usually about half the price.
People are still allowed to go out for solitary activites, e.g. sports, walking. They are required to stay away from other persons at least 1.5m, except for members of their household.
Then you are doomed. ;-) (On mobile, it's your browser anyway that mutes any not currently on top and visible web sources, without any "help" by the particular website.)
Consider "Sign in" and "New user"
I was thinking more of small, 3rd party developers. Right now, if I'm deploying a client-server app, I ssh into my machine, send lots of debug json at it via curl, and do a lot with "arbitrary data" that would end up costing me a lot of money under their proposed scheme.

The last thing I want is for my ISP to have a developer program where I get certified to send the packets I want to across their network. I just want to write a server to back my app!
Care to elaborate why? (If not, just vote down or flag instead of posting.)
What a joke. If I had any respect left for institutions like time, I'd be shedding it.

Facebook is a new, proprietary way for people to do what they were going to do on the internet already, without Facebook. I don't feel that it has been influential on society as a whole - the entire electronics revolution has.

I'd rather see Steve up here with an iPad, personally. Or perhaps someone who has influenced the actual direction of history.

Nice safe choice for Time, huh? Underscores their commitment to undermining the entire world of journalism by making news as bland and irrelevant as possible.
Poor boy, he doesn't have a life, never plays a video game, never go to the movies, doesn't have a girlfriend, all he has is the satisfaction to be a winner, let him brag :)

I am a winner because I do almost whatever I want, most of the time. I don't leave for the office until 10:30; I keep time to read books, work on Beethoven's sonatas, and run outdoors. I don't give a f*ck about money, rewards and other people opinion. Find your inner winner!
How does this compare to JSqueak? Does it run Morphic?

It seems to integrate better with the host JVM (like GST integrates with unix).
Agreed, as an Admin having alternate browsers available in in an environment can be incredibly beneficial. Security/patch wise it's a real pain to maintain Firefox so this is a big advantage for Chrome.
If you take a closer look at my example you'll see that the long name is there of course, it's still very close to the point where it's used. It's only aliased for a moment in this single section of code and because of lexical scoping there's no danger of name collision. Of course, doing this in a global namespace makes no sense.

How long identifiers are acceptable depends on a language. With languages without namespacing or modules you obviously have to use some naming convention so that there are no name conflicts and this makes your names longer. I'd say 5 words is ok in this case.

But I'm not arguing against long names of things: on the contrary, I like having names as descriptive as possible. OTOH, too long names are also bad, because they make the code less readable and harder to work with. Like almost always it's a matter of balance: you need to know when to stop adding words to a name. I think that "name is too long when it starts making other names in the same line much harder to spot" is a good heuristic for this.
It's a lot more metaphorical and more fanciful but there's "Evolution" by Langdon Smith: https://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/int/evolution.html

When you were a tadpole and I was a fish
In the Paleozoic time,
And side by side on the ebbing tide
We sprawled through the ooze and slime,
Or skittered with many a caudal flip
Through the depths of the Cambrian fen,
My heart was rife with the joy of life,
For I loved you even then. [...]
Nice to know that the US legislature has deemed this a more important use of their time than the pandemic and the economy.
Though everyone'll flame you about "the future", you're probably right.

If you read the PLOS One acceptance criteria:

http://www.plosone.org/static/publication

you'll notice that scientific merit doesn't show up in there. The official policy is that if the methods and analysis are sound, then it will be accepted regardless of how irrelevant the actual study is. This is well known in academia and has resulted in a generally negative opinion of the journal among publishing researchers.

edit: I'd also like to point out that this isn't the case for all PLOS publications.
Before you dismiss compile time as "an overblown concern", I recommend reading Rob Pike's paper version of his talk, "Language Design in the Service of Software Engineering" (http://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article).

In particular, take a look at section 5, "Dependencies in C and C++." From that section:

The construction of a single C++ binary at Google can open and read hundreds of individual header files tens of thousands of times. In 2007, build engineers at Google instrumented the compilation of a major Google binary. The file contained about two thousand files that, if simply concatenated together, totaled 4.2 megabytes. By the time the #includes had been expanded, over 8 gigabytes were being delivered to the input of the compiler, a blow-up of 2000 bytes for every C++ source byte.

As another data point, in 2003 Google's build system was moved from a single Makefile to a per-directory design with better-managed, more explicit dependencies. A typical binary shrank about 40% in file size, just from having more accurate dependencies recorded. Even so, the properties of C++ (or C for that matter) make it impractical to verify those dependencies automatically, and today we still do not have an accurate understanding of the dependency requirements of large Google C++ binaries.

The consequence of these uncontrolled dependencies and massive scale is that it is impractical to build Google server binaries on a single computer, so a large distributed compilation system was created. With this system, involving many machines, much caching, and much complexity (the build system is a large program in its own right), builds at Google are practical, if still cumbersome.

I think that Pike makes a convincing case that fast compile times at scale are a reasonable requirement for their needs.
Either create a firewall rule or if your router isn't good enough create a null static route of 8.8.8.8/255.255.255.255 and 8.8.4.4/255.255.255.255 to the routers IP address with a metric of 2 and you'll achieve the same affect as a iptables/pf rule.

Chromecast WILL degrade back to the resolver provided by your router if 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 are uncontactable.
Witter has historical significance as being an accessible ice-free port in winter. This is why the train tunnel was cut, to support a navy outpost and shipping. Prior to the tunnel it could only be reached by sea.

Nowadays i'm sure the primary industries are tourism and shipping.

I was excited about the possibility of federated XMPP over mobile hidden services, mainly because of the built-in NAT traversal. It could make creating a "good enough" XMPP server as simple as buying a cheap Android phone, installing an app, and keeping it plugged in somewhere.
This arrangement looks a lot better than the norm in that area. The typical 200-person remote Alaskan town is more of a shantytown, a depressing collection of low-quality single-story shacks. This at least looks like solid construction, probably more weatherproof than the norm, and with some indoor community spaces. Seems like a decent solution for such a town, in the rare case where the capital to build such a building is available (in this case it was only because the U.S. military built it).
This article makes it sound like some remote wilderness where you would freeze instantly when you go outside. The climate there (according to wikipedia) isn't that cold, right now it's -12c with a high of 3c over the next few days - there are plenty of European cities with colder climates.

Still an interesting place none the less. They have an official website with more details: http://begichtowers.com/ - there is a unit for sale for $40k if anyone is interested :D

If I am getting rid of someone, it's usually for cause. However, if I terminate someone, then they can file for benefits, then I have to fight to say that the employee was fired for cause, prove my case, yada yada yada. It's much more time efficient for me if the employee just resigns, as all I have to show is the resignation letter.

Unemployment insurance is paid for by employers, and the more former employees that collect unemployment, the higher the employer's unemployment insurance premiums. I save a ton of money by making sure my former employees do not get unemployment benefits. This is also why a resignation is important, in that it gives me assurance my premiums won't rise.

I haven't had to let anyone go simply because I didn't have enough work for them, so I can't say I've screwed anyone out of unemployment benefits. I'm just making sure my costs stay down when I do need to get rid of someone. However, this is also why companies may offer severance. They can either pay increased unemployment insurance premiums to the government, or they can win goodwill from employees by giving them some cash and also releasing the employer from some additional liabilities.

How do you believe this is misleading users? It seems quite clear to me, and while this is anecdotal rather than data, based on the people I know the feature seems to be quite popular.
Yeah that totally applies here. Because all situations are alike and all statements apply to every situation. All thoughts that I have can be summed up above. This is simpleton thinking. Sorry I'm not falling for your completely irrelevant shit.
The current attack injects two TCP packets containing javascript that makes a person's web browser perform endless requests to the two Github URLs that host the apparent targets. This is a huge amplification. Also, the attacker is hitting fewer than 1% of the Baidu Analytics requests, which might indicate that the attacker is overloaded. In that case they don't yet have unlimited access to Chinese bandwidth.
I'm in the UK and don't drive but have a provisional drivers license issued for learners that's pretty much the same as these.

When I got it I was actually planning on learning to drive, but just never got around to it.

When it expires (it's valid for ten years), I might however get a new one, because it's been convenient to have as a second ID separate from my passport.
I'm sure a lot of the work is done through the dolphin fork, but a lot of code also has to be injected into the melee iso as well. Which is why project slippi doesn't allow rollback for all dolphin games (sorry project M)
Easy. Most likely you don't need any database.
You’re right, that’s probably not the right term. What I mean is that hotels are considered a quasi public utility, in the same way as taxi services - private businesses that are essential to proper functioning of a community and as such are heavily regulated. And in part for this exact reason - when there are emergencies, we expect them to be available for people to use as temporary housing without being charged “surge pricing” - and that’s written into the law in most states.
It’s honestly extremely funny to see Google burn millions in R&D on the AMD hardware, Linux porting tools and runtime, as well as the improvements to WebRTC while their competitors just used AWS GPU instances (like Shadow) or their own GPU farms (GeForce Now) running Windows to run games with little modification.

Stadia is an unmitigated disaster outside of playing Cyberpunk and I’ve been a longtime fan of the streaming games concept -
I was an early fan of OnLive and used the GeForce Now beta regularly. It’s ultimately a case study in how investing only in tech isn’t necessarily customer obsessed.
The problem with your concept is determing who is responsible for „.hackernews“
This is RHEL6.7, it doesn't use systemd.
If you're happy with emacs or vim then you probably shouldn't use it. Many people aren't comfortable with those two or prefer a mouse based approach without the overhead of an IDE in which case Sublime is a pretty good choice with lots of customizability and available plugins.

Edit: For me I do my coding/most everything in vim but if I get a new project I have to learn about I find it much more easy to navigate an unknown project in Sublime while I get it sorted in my mind.
Yes, I'm the author, and indeed the UI is at a very early stage.

We'll make it stable this year.
> way of programming that encourages *allocating many individual objects* on the heap

Quoting and bolding. I think this is the thing that I need to change most about my own style of programming.
Please don't double down. I've raised several dogs, and fostered at least a dozen throughout my life. I am regularly the "last guy" for problem dogs because nobody else knows how to handle them, and have dealt with many dogs who have attacked humans (and I have been bit many times dealing with these dogs).

I saw from your other comment that you learned this from Cesar Milan. Well like most celebrities, his advice can actually be harmful. You have to realize this entire guy's job is to sell you himself so he can make money from his brand.

EDIT: Redacted recommendation based on comment. Normally I'd leave it, but if there's even a 5% chance that comment in the reply is true I do not want to encourage it.

You can get ~$200 pi 400 + touchscreen deals. That's a lower nominal price than anything but firesale deals on 80s PCs without displays were, and a lot cheaper in real (adjusted for inflation) terms.

Sub $100 would be nice, sure, but it's not like what we have available today is bad.
"you are a terrible human being" is not really a simple disagreement.

"That seems like a rude thing to do" would be.

What you said was a personal attack, and a quite rude one at that.

C'mon Apple, we all know Chrome and Chromium can display your HTML5 too. Probably Opera as well.
+1 for Apple educating people on the awesomeness of HTML5.

-1 for being Safari-only.

Then again, when you think about it - the Safari-only filter implicitly tells people that Safari is the 'only' browser (or the best browser) currently supporting HTML5; that other browsers have to play catchup.
Thanks! I'd read Costikyan and plenty of Gama Sutra before but not the others.

When sitting down to prototype a game I usually find the first iteration turns out to not have the fun gameplay you had imagined at all. It's then a matter of how to think about the problem and what things you should try in attmpet to make it fun and challenging. Perhaps you could identify that the idea just stinks to being with..

Having not worked along side an experienced game designer I'm always curious as to whether they know of ideas and tools to apply that aren't commonly known or whether it is just instinct.

I feel like there must be a large catalogue of game design rules of thumb in the heads of successful designers that have not been written down and I'd love to know them :)
Rippetoe has a book titled 'Practical Programming for Strength Training'. It's good as well.
It seems like all the samples are targeted at the creative ad bureaus, and the goal is to educate them that HTML5 has all the features they need for their creative sites.

First the book publishers, now the ad agencies. The creative sector has really been in SteveJ's focus for the past half year.
So much for "standard". I wouldn't have expected understanding of "open" from this company, anyway. Yesterday Flash was bad, but today it's fine to write websites that only work in Safari, while using some Apple-specific HTML/CSS-tags.
Extremely lame that they check the user agent. They probably all work fine in Chrome since it uses webkit also (I believe Chrome uses a newer version even).
Since both chrome and safari use webkit to render - chrome should work too shouldn't it?

Granted - Apple's definition of open is "you should only use Apple products".
From a PR review I thought it was clear messaging - understanding but not apologetic and got me to read their case study - well played tynt, well played
Author here. I am happy to hear some comments from you HN readers. This is the start of my attempt to blog more often, get some experience in writing and help others about a topic I think I have some experience in.

It is understandable that the topic is kinda junior level to most of you, as you are not the target group to learn from it. Nevertheless, more experienced programmers and writers can hopefully give me a few tips. Anything welcome!
I expect not to have content that is unreadable by probably 90% of HN readers ...
The whole notion of a "modern" programming language is a big joke considering that mainstream languages have been playing catch-up to Lisp for decades.
Dear Recruiter, You are a middleman. Your job is pointless. Your industry will go "kapoom" soon. Enterprising young people are already figuring our ways to automate you out of your job . Take me off your list. I am not a 'lead', or a 'prospective candidate'. Show me the money. That's what she said. Goodbye.
That sounds like a pretty good approach to it. It might become a bit of a problem if it involves a regular investment, so choice and scale have to depend on means available for that to really work...
This means that the 33% of Americans that are "in the middle" (between the 33% with less income and the 33% with most) are in the range of 30K to 62K

My main problem is that I don't see a satisfactory way for me as an individual to safeguard a wallet.

Cold storage is an interesting concept for an exchange, but it still seems fundamentally inferior to normal banking's procedures for undoing fraudulent transactions. N-of-m encryption schemes are nice, but they only really make sense if you have each of the keys in a different hardware crypto device. Even then, in practice I suspect all of the exchanges are set up such that 95% of their cold storage is accessible via machines that are connected to the public Internet. (I'd be interested in independent audits that show otherwise.)
Atom is a cargo cult.

Atom is eventually a dead end. They are paying lip service to eventually partially opensourcing it.

It is the opposite direction of the magic of git, which enables easy sharing and collaboration.

Beware the promise of later opensourcing of projects. Without an early commitment, the developers of atom will invariably include proprietary software to ease development which will preclude later opensourcing.

You are better off taking the hard road and investing your time in tools that are not cargo cults.
Wouldn't the use case be just "link to the right spot in the docs" and the user's client requests the appropriate language automagically? That way the link is valid for everyone, and it shows each their preferred language.
I'm surprised nobody just puts together a new little tech town on the front range where there isn't anything, say just south of Pueblo or north of Ft. Collins. Plenty of foothills to go around.
Jordan is the best. There really isn't a debate. Kobe and Lebron would tell you this without batting an eye.

Kobe and Lebron are both giant assholes. I'm not sure how you don't agree with this. Do you not follow sports news? Jordan is also a giant asshole. He is just far enough removed from playing the game that people forget about how he redefined/saved the NBA, they only judge him on the past 5 years.
