I've done programming on computers that didn't even have a proper backspace key, you had to literally hit CTRL+H, written hundreds of thousands of lines on a system with no windowing system whatsoever, and this guy is complaining because you can't "full screen" or use the mouse in Terminal.app?

If you want Linux, install Linux. Not hard. No reason to write an angry post about how OS X isn't X11.
Our employment contracts actually require us to open source everything our hackers build (except some client-specific configurations or templates of course)
Most of your points would apply if you substituted Samsung with Apple and Apple with Palm.
If you live outstate there's Hackers and Hustlers in East Lansing which meets this Wednesday. Theres also a Hackers and Hustlers chapter that has formed in Kalamazoo. Best place for information is on their page on Facebook. Some interesting discussions going on there.
He also mention examples on how conservatives are being shut in universities all the time.
You've simply restated the rule in a context where justification was expected.
Age will eventually catch up, but meditation, aerobic exercise, good sleeping pattern, certain video games, good tangible social connections, exploring novel things are shown to moderate the decline. While stress/tension, sedentary lifestyle and most importantly loneliness accelerate the decline.
My impression has been that python is easier to iterate on over the course of a week, while Rust is easier to iterate on over the course of a year.
I feel like there’s some kind of PTSD in the audio field. I was only talking about a fun toy project among friends and I already have two replies critiquing it presumably by subject matter experts. Just an observation, I’m not really that sore over it. But still, even with cryptography, where it is well-known you never roll your own code (and yet people do anyways) I would not expect people to get all flustered if I had said “toy EC-SRP implementation” because the word “toy” is meant to signify “I know that’s not what you would do in the real world.”
Why an implant? Why not a ring with a chip? Seems more flexible and safer than an implant. Less expensive too, I bet.
Sounds like GP would be more into the OpenBCI project Galea in partnership with Valve and Tobii [1]

All the won lawsuits kind of support the link between cancer and Roundup. Also stuff like this makes believe that there are many cases out there:

"the lawyer for the RoundUp Virginia plaintiffs had been charged with extortion after offering to stop searching for more plaintiffs if he was paid a $200 million consulting fee by a manufacturer of glyphosate."

It's not quite clear what exactly this does—apparently I can "Create, edit and delete components." and "Log incidents." and "monitor services". Some more relevant info on the pages would be nice.
For a Saas web app, HTML/CSS/JS/Bootstrap/Less/JQuery/KnockoutJS/ReactJS on the frontend and Ninja at the backend.

I think this is best taken as a half-serious, somewhat comedic take on these languages in the vein of PG's http://www.paulgraham.com/fix.html. Some of them are quite funny. I also think that a large consideration is whether the author is personally interested in trying each language, which rules out many languages that are reasonable choices from a purely practical perspective (Fortran, Ada, etc. mentioned elsewhere).
"Reactive" architecture and "Functional Reactive Programming (FRP)" are totally different things.
They tend to track upstream closely, but patch stuff to make sure it works well with their relatively novel packaging.

Packages seem to tend to be barebones, but I'm not sure if that's intentional. For example, Vim didn't ship with a default config file for quite a while, contrary to even Arch.
Yes, take a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gU6TWGynkU
In the interest of keeping things at a level of "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity", can somebody explain to me the meaning of "Happy X"?

Being on the autistic spectrum, I never understood it. Is it kind of like a programmed social contract, like sharing in the humor of looking at a lolcat? Is that why such sentiments get upvoted like lolcats?

Yeah, I'm not mad at Google, I'm disappointed with HTC, Motorola and Samsung.
The article implies that there's more to it than pitch:

Sell and his colleagues could not precisely pinpoint what qualities in a man's voice indicate strength.
"Anything is easy to the person who doesn't have to do it."
What hypothetical attack would this prevent?
and if he had referred to the average person, doubtlessly there'd be someone ripping on him for thinking he's above average.
I spent years running in my late teens and early 20s and had no running-related lasting injuries - and I have flat feet.

While swimming is lower stress on the musculature and does a more full-body workout, I know several folks who simply got sick and couldn't continue daily regimens. Once they got better it difficult for them to continue. Surely proper preparation (swim caps/goggles) could have helped.

Basketball is crazy fun but potential for injury is much higher - I stopped due to injuries.

tl;dr - all activities require proper preparation.
You can bundle .so's with the application (this is how many humblebundle/steam linux games work) or you can statically link those libaries.
> I wouldn't dream of keeping a blog that couldn't handle a HN traffic spike. That's the whole point of having a blog.

It seems possible that some people don't care that much about HN traffic spikes.
If you already know one method is faster than another, then it is post-measurement, even if you measured it in a previous project, and thus not premature.
It's $7.37 now. But it doesn't matter how much they charge because I will never be using their service, anyway.
That's really surprising that the experiment subjects could not tell that the white wine dyed red was not really red wine. I can't stand white wine and I like reds quite a bit, to me they taste very different.
Hahaha. I've been using the new GMaps for ages, and always thought it was fine. So I thought, I'll check out the old one and see how different it really is.

Holy crap it's fast. Wow. There's no loading or giant pixels, zooming is instant, scrolling around is instant. I can't get over how much faster this is. Woof.
Certainly that's been true for every hotel I've booked. It's also true of some busy restaurants (they normally charge a fixed fee per head for no-shows).
Managing and using private keys safely is still a huge unsolved problem in general.
False. The objective of crypto isn't to force everyone out of the banking system, it's to provide an ability to opt-out and be your own bank for those who need or want it. If you want to use a traditional bank or custodian instead, go for it. And indeed, for many people who cannot and should not be managing their own keys, it's the preferable option.
There's a lot of stuff I want to know about that I don't know where else to find out about it, and much of this is outraging. For example, a lot of my Twitter feed is people pointing out how the Canadian media misrepresents events with a pro-conservative bias. Perhaps ignorance would be bliss, but I opt for a daily dose of poison to keep my tolerance up.
Is this an ad? It reads like an ad. I imagine that imprisonment and joblessness is highly correlated. At what point in time is this illegal? A lot of people in jail are not convicted, and a lot more are not convicted of felonies.
A lot of WiFi hardware implements a substantial portion of the stack in firmware or driver blobs.

So even "the same few chips" can be manipulated to perform very differently. Stuff like retransmit, frame timing, power/gain control, and even tx/rxchain selection and MIMO configuration are often done in software and can be altered between suppliers. Additionally, vendor drivers often perform very poorly at the higher levels as well - the MAC level (associate/beacon/disassociate), the framing level, scheduling encryption/decryption, keeping track of associated clients, and so on, are also all often handled in software and can be optimized.

Plus, once we reach the router level, we also get into the often abysmal IP stack configuration on consumer-grade routers.

In short, there's a lot that can differ, both in IP-land and in chipset-land. Anyone who's "fixed" an ailing consumer router firmware by reflashing it with something else can understand the IP-land pieces, and a quick read through a driver written on the Linux SoftMAC stack (for example) can really illustrate how much goes on at the driver layer (not to mention firmware).
Yeah. There are definitely people on their Discord I'd call extreme, but none of those people work for or speak for the company. They aren't people I would choose to associate with, but it's a free country.

I thought about it quite a bit, actually. But there is a line there and they haven't crossed it.
This ends with the author promoting his new 'bootstrapped app': https://keepthescore.co/

That website uses Google Analytics!
It's easy to laugh at this, but the SEC really wants to regulate the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It's not in government's nature to leave something alone.

You may wonder if the SEC has the legal authority to do this. The answer is that it doesn't really matter. All the SEC wants to accomplish is to establish a precedent where it's authority over cryptocurrency is legitimate. All it would take is a judge (who probably doesn't even know that much about crypto) to rule that the SEC is within it's right to do so and then bam! we have crypto regulation forced down everyone's throats.
I'm with you in having come around on not trying to cram everything into that hole of testability. But I do think there's room, specifically when it comes to testing your ideas. It's rare to look at data and see what the problem is, but it's common to come up with a hypothesis for what the problem is and a way to experimentally measure whether you new solution has actually made a dent.
I recently flew JFK->SFO and back on Virgin. There are no backscatter machines at the Virgin terminal at JFK. They do have them at SFO. About every 10th person was selected to go through the scanner. Nobody opted out. Contrary to most reports, the TSA agents at both airports were pretty nice and helpful. At JFK, they were helping a number non-english speaking travelers speed their way through the line so they wouldn't miss their flight. If anything was off, a couple of the agents at SFO were too chipper at 6am, which made them seem slightly insane. Privacy and health concerns aside, an issue with this machine is that it does nothing to speed up the security line. If anything, it is slightly slower than the metal detector.

I wonder if this is really a cancer risk. For instance, I feel like living in Toxic Williamsburg is probably a worse cancer risk than going through the backscatter machine twice a year.

There is definitive proof that millimeter wave does not cause cancer, considering it's basically far infrared light which hits you all day every day.

Millimeter wave and X-ray scanners are not the same thing and should never be confused.

I personally would never go through an X-ray scanner. Are the scanners marked in some way so I know which is which?
RESTAS (http://restas.lisper.ru/en/) and web4r (http://web4r.org/en/) are both built on top of Hunchentoot.
Maybe I'm just cynical but I'd imagine the answer would be something like, "The scanner. The devices are safe and we feel their use is important for ensuring the safety of US citizens. Next question?"
This makes me being too dumb to work there burn even more.
There's a letter here from a group of X-ray imaging and cancer experts recommending further study:

Neat, but I question the Windows only choice here. A lot of C programmers are developing on a *nix platform. But I see this as being more useful for students learning C and memory management. It's a neat project and might recommend it to students but I'll stick to vim, myself.
Yeah, we don't have content ourselves, our value add is the ranking and filter service. Also, allowing you to see the conversation across the web.

UGC would be tough, because I'm at a chicken and egg state right now as you pointed out. And crap comments would lead to more crap comments. Imagine if Quora or Hacker News had a comment bot. Sets a bad tone for the future.

i guess there may be a flaw in my initial strategy.

when training my algorithm (and as i make iterations), I compare the results to google news to make sure we're as good if not better. That's why a lot of the initial top-level categories match up pretty closely.

Sports vs sports

However, once I'm more confident in the algo, I'll let it loose on something more niche, like college football

http://collegefb.rawsignal.com/

that's how we can differentiate from google, but i never realized that having too many options would paralyze people.

maybe if i release each vertical under its own domain . . .
Google and Facebook are starting to get more and more boring and annoying. I am starting to think they are doing all of this petty fighting just to get even more press and free marketing. Sometimes it seems like some of the management from both companies took this fight personal and now fight for their own pride.

Why don't we start talking more about new and interesting stuff, and leave this two to just cool off and start working on making their services better, instead of spinning in circles and trying to catch their own tail.
Referencing past submissions about the same topic, whether they are exactly the same or merely similar is very useful, especially if those past submissions contain discussions.

You should always link to those past submissions and remain otherwise neutral (or positive if you like). It is not and cannot be the submitters duty to closely track Hacker News for all stories that have been submitted in the past [0]. Duplicates are inevitable, just writing “dupe” helps no one. Be constructive!

[0] I’m not entirely sure whether the submitter should check the front page before submitting. Since a bookmarklet is officially endorsed and prominently linked I would rather think that checking the front page is no requirement. You should maybe only be careful and check the front page or the new page when you want to submit a story about an event that you know will be a hot topic on Hacker News (say, a Google press conference).
Noisebridge has had some issues (actually ongoing issues) with people that treat it as a living space, or just "forget to take the last BART" with suspicious regularity. Maybe your idea would solve that problem. Or maybe it would exacerbate it, not sure.

Unrelated: there's also another movement called "cohousing" which tries to strike a middle ground between the post-WWII standard of one-family-per-house, and communes that tend to have a complete lack of privacy.

Using twins as the anecdotal sample for whether children have best friends is another point against the thoughtfulness of the author. As a twin myself, I would argue that twins have a built-in best friend and thus rarely have another "best friend" like a singleton would, so they are a particularly poor choice to illustrate anecdotal evidence that kids don't have single best friends.
Yes, but I think including Gmail in the aggregate of "Google Apps" makes it seem like Google Docs is kicking Office's butt.
I can almost assure you that they're probably easier to use. That's always been WordPress' strength, despite its weaknesses.
Great idea, for both these companies and consumers.

Kind of odd though to have 4 products that last an entire year, 1 for 6 months, and 1 for 2 months.

Perhaps. But I still think that computation is fundamentally different from everything that’s come before.

I’m allowed to be idealistic about some things. Aren’t we all?
in Atlanta there's a stretch of interstate at 50mph, and the traffic flows at 70+mph. driving the posted limit is dangerous, and possibly even illegal (delaying traffic.)
That first tape you mention looks identical to the "bondage tape" from the list. Very different application, but same stuff!

I have also heard that it's used in veterinary practices, as it will not stick to fur.
I think what I was trying to get across is that you can do things more in a blog post styles as opposed to Twitter style quick bites. But maybe you're right it's not worth mentioning. The copy for the site hasn't gone through any focus group testing or anything like that.
My wife is a lawyer. She checks all contracts that either of us sign. And we realize that there's a lot of stuff we can't change with regards to a contract we sign with large companies, like Amazon.

Nevertheless, we do push back on those things that are most important to us, like my ability to support existing open source projects like NTP.org, which I have been involved with since 2003.

I'm personally not too worried about the non-compete, because I'm so low on the totem pole that I really don't think the company will care about me if/when I leave. I strongly suspect they won't even notice -- there's at least six or seven layers of management between Andy Jassy and me.
This sounds like https://fraidyc.at which is delightfully weird and really functional at the same time
The 286 is a 16-bit CPU, whereas the 386 is 32-bit CPU.

This alone made the 386 far more capable and compatible with modern software (Linux requires 32-bit).
> But in the real world, even the good guys might screw you if it ever turns into a situation of You Vs. Them.

Then I guess the "good guy" in your world is only a seemingly good guy (as PG may state it) in my world, since it would be at the core of my definition of a good guy to be fair even in a "you vs. them" situation.

> Ultimately, if having to choose between feeding my family or feeding yours, the choose is obvious even to nice guys.

It is rarely as easy as that. How about feeding your family involving you screwing me over vs feeding my family involving nobody screwing anyone?
Wow! That's an excellent question that I only barely know about. I'll give as much of an explanation as I'm able to and I apologize to any enthusiasts who cringe at my response!

So I'm not sure where Musk's project is going to go - as schiffern stated below it seems they're going to go with a LOS phased array, and if they've actually got the price down that low with stable performance then they've really brought some incredible innovation to the field!

As I understand - ViaSat1 used a hybrid design antenna in space that allows them to do some pretty incredible things on the ground. Consumer internet is provided via traditional Ka-band ground antennae that have to be carefully positioned and installed. They also have services for Ku-band, S-band, and L-band antennae. These applications do generally use some form of phased array antennae so that they don't have to use any sort of mechanical tracking apparatus.

Needless to say, I'm mad excited for Musk pouring some funding and engineering efforts into such an awesome project!
One thing that needs to be considered is that SpaceX is operating in a space that has far higher risk for a (relatively) indeterminate reward right now. A single accident could severely damage the company's reputation and revenue stream, and I think their valuation might reflect this cautious approach to their business model.
Don't you think that implementing the Google crawling scheme [1] (i.e. returning a snapshot of an Ajax application) is a programming or programming tools question?

For anyone who doesn't get the reference, "Crash Override" was a handle used by the male protagonist in Hackers[1].

20 TB of outgoing traffic is included with a Hetzner Cloud VPS, any additional TB costs 1,19€. Incoming traffic is free.
There are a few foreign-language shows interesting enough for me to watch but it doesn't stop it from being a major downside. Subbed is an inconvenience but dubbing makes me feel like there's something wrong with my eyes or like I'm watching a desynced video file from 2005. I can't do it.

A couple things like Kingdom eventually get watched but I can't imagine getting really excited for a new episode like I was with Game of Thrones or Chernobyl. It's simply not immersive enough for me.

One also wonders which is happening faster, streaming services making Europeans more like each other or making Europeans more like Americans.
As a developer, having an open source client side is hugely beneficial. With closed source mapping libs you often know what is wrong with the providers library from your stack traces, but have no way to fix it. Open source means trivial bugs handling things like nulls and deallocation and even more serious bugs like CPU use regressions (which are easy to introduce with an incorrect condition somewhere and can slip through the cracks until end user's batteries are dying) become trivial fixes instead of: notify provider, provider may or may not road map a fix, provider may or may not provide the fix weeks later in their next closed source SDK update.
I understand that. I'm saying that the same people that are patent trolls would add misuse of copyright to their set of tools if it became that became a viable option available to them. Today's patent trolls would just be called IP trolls, but they'd be the same set of people.
The nano with WIFI-6 is $99, the decent all-on-one routers with wifi-6 I've seen are around $200.
I did the exact same thing and assumed I was seeing some strange behaviour on mobile, until I came here.
Shucked drives are very often SMR so caveat emptor.
But is US minus Detroit safer than Cz minus Prague, or UK minus London and Manchester? Most murder happens in cities. You can't just handwave the problem away and say it's not really America.

The US system of policing seems to be both repressive and ineffective.

> Rucker estimates that each additional year of exposure to desegregated schools increased black men’s annual earnings by roughly 5 percent, increased their wages by 2.9 percent, and led to an annual work effort that was 39 hours higher.

Also, what exactly does that mean? E.g. a person going from an all black school to a school that's 90% white is going to have almost nothing in common with someone going from an all black school to a school that's still 90% black. I skimmed over the study, but I'm having trouble understanding how they are controlling for demographics and what they call the 'black-white exposure index'.
Pretty cool!

Thanks!
Chicago is pretty segregated as whole. The North side is predominantly Caucasian and the south side (save for a few neighborhoods) is predominantly African-American and Latino.
