And seriously? Google knows your search history ever since they started up, and use it for their own ads. You have something against your ISP knowing this information, but not Google?

Doesn't work 100% of the time but seems to do the trick for most popular videos.
Single-purpose accounts that are in the black typically post more concerting or at least ambivalent comments than dissenting ones.
But for perspective, 10% is a large portion of the population. As a population subgroup, Asian Americans only account for 7% of the US population.
The radical function over form design is an artistic statement. The art world continually has movements that critique and respond to restrictive conventions imposed by previous movements. Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" comes to mind.

I think this design is supposed to challenge our concept of what we think is ugly and beautiful. It's intentionally shocking, and it's brilliant.
No, there are no objective mathematical truths. I am saying this as someone who has studied pure mathematics. We have long moved away from Plato. Godel long ago proved that no system based on a finite number of axioms is complete. This isn't just a comment on mathematics. It is a comment on language and human thought itself.

Of course, the debate remains of the "validity" of pure mathematics for its own sake. Many mathematicians, while not being religious in the common sense, have longed for a Platonic reality. Why do you think Hardy was so derided for his Mathematician's Apology?

Mathematics is simply another formal game of language, based on a number of axioms which can be either held to be true or not. Look at the differences between Euclidean and projective geometry. No one is asking which one is "true". Projective geometry helps for some lines of thought, Euclidean works for others.
The problem is that a lot of what I search for isn’t boring and obvious: searching about quantitative finance, stack traces, economics, and some math equations or theorems. Of course there’s the common stuff as well: what movies to watch in a specific genre, video game reviews, etc. But while both ddg and google do a reasonable job on the latter, they both fail hard for the former, ddg more than google though:

ddg has never given me good results for technical topics. Google used to, but I feel like they changed something. Now google just regurgitates the same top sites over and over again, very rarely if ever displaying less popular sources like forums or a professor’s website or papers. In fact a lot of the time, google decides it wants to search for some other thing than I tell it because I must have made a mistake searching for something that not very many other people search for. IMO, the apex of google search was around 2010-2013.
I have a hard time believing this has anything to do with ddg. Im in europe and had been using ddg since the very beginning and cant recall ever having this issue
If you open-source your "IP" (I'm quoting it, because the very name offends me), the problem magically goes away.

But then, that's something culturally almost impossible to even imagine from people who hark from the HW design world.

I never liked working at coffee shops when I was working for myself. For me the best place to work is at home. Working at home can be very difficult but if you have the discipline and a quiet work space it can be very productive.

Definitely don't have a TV in the same room as you work. Also, playing music with headphones is great to get in the "zone."
a bit of a stranger's conversation focused on the app that I just rolled out

I find that this is the biggest problem: People can be actively trying not to interrupt you but it's no good because they're talking about something that's related to your work and you can't help but overhear. If they're in earshot and they're talking, distraction is inevitable.

It's a pity that at a time with such a high unemployment rate we can't manage to mobilize the resources to build every programmer a tiny office with a door that can close.
Not my experience. Here's why...

A coffee shop and a laptop are convenient, even fun ways to produce mediocre content. A blog entry, email, maybe even cleaning up a few lines of code. But as most programmers know, sooner or later, you have to enter another mode to get that additional "oomph" to get the important critical-path work done. Some call it "the zone".

In fact we just talked about this the other day:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2450260

A coffee shop is probably the best way to think you've entered the zone without actually entering the zone. The can be very dangerous. You've had a good time surrounded by like minded people (kinda like being here at hn), but you've never actually transcended anything really important.

I spend time at the library one or more times per week, sometimes just to get out of the office. It's fun to think and get transactions done, but fortunately, I have an internal guide that tells me, "Time to get back to the silence, large screen, and comfortable chair of the office to get the real work done."

I realize that this isn't the same experience as others, but I still often want to ask them, "Did you really get done what you wanted to get done in the coffee shop?"

This subject reminds me of a great line from Joel Spolsky's "Hitting the High Notes":

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html

"Five Antonio Salieris won't produce Mozart's Requiem. Ever. Not if they work for 100 years."

My version:

"Five workers in the coffee shop won't produce the killer work that one in a dedicated space can produce. Ever. Not if they drink 100 lattes."
I think the problem you need to tackle is not whether your source control system can scale to handle your huge project as a single entity, but whether your whole development process is being hampered because you're looking at it that way. I would recommend you break your system down into a number of separate modules and manage them separately, giving the modules their own release schedules and properly managing the dependencies between them. "The granule of reuse is the granule of release" [1], so if you don't have a formal release process around individual modules, you can't reliably reuse them. If you do that you can create separate repositories for each module, and you'll then find that your branches are more tightly scoped (to a single module), merges are simpler as a result, volume of change is localised to the less stable modules and weird file types can be restricted to specific modules.

Once you've refactored your codebase you'll be in a position to make better choices about a source control system.

I didn't go to University, and wasn't much for science in high-school, but (using your figures) sunlight is 1000watts/m^2/second (or millisecond or minute), isn't it?

No, sunlight is 1000 watts / m^2, or 1000 joules per square metre per second. The Watt is a unit of power (ie energy over time).
I dunno.. your article only has 2 links - 1) 'Websites that suck', 2) your own article about how 'incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their abilities'.

The last 6 paragraphs are fairly obvious points where you do not go into detail or give examples. How is the reader supposed to know what you mean in a way that is useful? Some links to examples or how to implement would be useful advice.

Also, I'm curious, why the snarkiness? Do you consider being critical of others to be part of your online persona? Is it for entertainment value? Is it an effort to improve something? I don't mean to pick on you - I'm actually curious.
Ah OK, didn't read carefully enough. Thanks.
could you tell me which personal information of yours was sold by google?
you can't really opt out of facebook, if you interact with ever a few people who are on it, you're as good as on it.
It's netbooks all over again.
I would think having two USB-C connectors poses a problem.

If you allow charging over only one of the connectors, customers will find that highly confusing.

If you allow charging the device over both, you have to be prepared for the case where people plug in two power sources (yes, some users will do that, if you give them half a chance).

I think your best bet would be to go for #2. I think that requires software (or maybe hardware) that reliably handles the 'two power sources' problem. I wouldn't run that on the main OS and CPU, so you need something else, maybe a single chip that drives two USB type C connectors. I guess those may not yet exist.

(That's quite loose thinking, so it may be hugely incorrect. Educate me)

Can I install gentoo on this?
Your concern is why CC released CC0.

They don't seem to be ambivalent about people using it.
The CC0 has, iirc, a 'rescue' clause in it that specifies the license's intent to retain the least amount of rights possible.

A much larger problem with any free license is that it's usually impossible to check a work's complete provenance. I. e. whoever attached the license might not actually be the creator.
You didn't give an argument. I'll leave it at that.
Been there, done that, decided it wasn't worth the continued effort.
TfL mandated black cabs must - as a condition of license - take card payments, almost certainly in reaction to Uber's claim that they were serving a cashless society that other options weren't.

Black cab drivers also got into Halo and other apps for ride hailing, and there are now a few other third party private hire apps for non-Uber drivers. I also think it made Addison Lee - the largest private hire company in London pre-Uber - shake their game up a little.

A few people will complain, but genuinely, London will be a better place without the fleet of thousands of Toyota Priuses circling all day, every day being driven by people who TfL suspect are not fit to hold a private hire vehicle license.
Yes, you can delete old images. I also plan to have an option per-image to auto-expire after a few days, for ephemeral images for when I need to show someone a screenshot or something.
Or make it so that people can't drive on major city-center/core roads. Make them pedestrian and bus lanes. Encourage people to take public transportation and away from using their own personal vehicles.
>> Thread + Ripper was a clever play on words: anything that had plenty of threads, the hardware was designed to ‘rip’ through the workload.

> Tangent, but is this really a play on words? And if so, what is the other meaning here?

Perhaps the OP was thinking of a seam ripper? Which, to be fair, does rip threads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_ripper
Austin got a non-profit ridesharing app after Lyft and Uber left a few years ago. It was pretty solid, although the mobile UX wasn't quite as good (which was to be expected).

When Uber and Lyft came back, they artificially lowered prices by subsidizing rides to claw business back from RideAustin, and it worked. Within a few months, RideAustin was pretty much defunct and hard to use since drivers were using the other apps.

Word of mouth only works when the local option is also the most lucrative. The problem with gig apps is the company can take their VC cash and underbid the market to weed out competition.
Those quotas are very much part of the problem. There are thousands of kids who have to settle for their second, third, fourth choice of college, because someone else needed to get in, even if that someone had scored less (often times laughably less) than them in the qualifying exams. Because you know, quotas

I am sure it all started with good intentions - you set aside a portion of admissions for the historically oppressed people, they come up - they win, society wins and everyone wins at the end. Right? In practice though, it is more used as a weapon by politicians to expertly divide and conquer votes, kinda like redistricting in the US but much worse.

There is a reason for brain drain ...
I agree, some results were great, but the long term philosophy is bad.

I wonder if it will trigger some social structure / device to avoid too much stagnation without requiring a shark-like company to try wiping the traditional market with infinite pockets.
Simple is too vague. The goal is avoiding unnecessary complexity, but not all complexity is the same.

For instance, I'm not an audiophile, so I have no investment in audio equipment. A Sonos soundbar is, in absolute terms, an extremely complex device; you could measure all the steps to production and the complexity is pretty astounding. In some ways, a consumer product may be more complex because it'll have additional circuitry to provide the "simpler" interface.

But that's counting the wrong complexity. It's the interface that I care about, because I'm trying to minimize the number of tasks and things about the device I have to memorize. So now we're studying a different class of entities: tasks I have to both learn and perform, and some amount of information I have to organize. There's also a degree of risk, as the damned thing can break, and I can sink a tremendous amount of time on the phone trying to remedy it, or have to throw it out, which I don't like.

I've only used Ubiquiti products a bit, but they seem to have all their own special sauce. And, I'll bet the design tends to assume you recall things you did months ago or take perfect notes. So while I'd probaby go with the Ubiquiti, especially if the defaults just work, I might find it's simpler to set up a Linux box.

How? That's advertising a ton of complexity to me, the entire Unix OS. But... I don't have to learn anything new, any configuration goes into a repo, and updating can be automated.

That means the marginal complexity is still quite small. Managing complexity, like risk, cost or time, is very much an economic function.

And, of course, since there's a limit to the amount of complexity you can manage in your life, a production-possibility frontier naturally emerges from these choices. When you're overloaded, you're dropping unmanageable complexity, most likely unconciously.
Plan9 style.
If you can write a FizzBuzz solution in bash in 30 seconds, you are definitely a programmer. You don't have to program as a profession to be a programmer.
Lets run with the OA for a bit.

What textbook is there that is easily available in English that could support a 30 lecture introductory course?

What 'environment' would you use? Text editor plus browser or a browser plugin for JavaScript editing or something else?

What base selection of libraries would be included with each project in your opinion?

Possibly linked with my first question, what kinds of projects/assignments would you suggest?
Clifford Stoll is awesome, definitely check out his TED talk!

They're pretty neat, but people often think I've a bong on display on my bookshelf. :p
>> "I'm still not sold on this whole Beats acquisition."

Why not? They need a streaming service (iTunes Radio isn't good enough) and Beats is IMO the best one out there. Plus if the streaming service doesn't work out they're still covered as they've purchased an incredibly successful hardware company and brand. They'll make the acquisition cost back in sales pretty quickly.
It's not just animals. Wheat has been ridiculously successful by adapting itself to feed humans, who seed it in good growing soil and drive off its competitors and predators.
The previous generation of rovers already drilled some small holes, so I'm not sure quite what you're talking about.
>You don't seem to care that the game forces you to kill hundreds of men

Seen that "shoot people in the streets", above? That was the first thing I wrote describing the game.

Also the whole rant re: feminism totally misses the point of my comment. I could not care less about modern feminism.

I just wanted to point out that it's a BS fast-food-like violent game, not some great cultural achievement.
On Linux, yes. On Mac it uses Cocoa and on Windows - Win32 API. i.e. it is a wrapper for native controls.
Doesn’t need to be large or a dedicated room.

Over the years I’ve done it a variety of ways. Currently using a small 3 foot by 2 foot wall mounted ikea whiteboard. In college I bought whiteboard tiles and double sided taped them to the wall to make a whole wall a whiteboard... I’ve had tiny 2x1s... never had a room, apartment or house since high school without a whiteboard...

We’re engineers and designers... we can do hard things.
I fail to see how "might actively be murdering and imprisoning innocent people" is an invalid counterpoint to "wants to save lives".

I would accept the same argument if someone were to suggest that the US releasing low security prisoners during this crisis were done to relieve the burden of imprisonment on minorities, when it would clearly be done primarily to prevent the prison population from becoming massively infected.
The studies show you can UV-C them (it reduces the physical strength of the mask but not the filtration ability, and can be done many many cycles: I think I saw at least 20); have you actually tried searching for how to sterilize masks yet?
And he did it on an Apple 2. Those machines were good programming workstations, in the day, fast storage, lots of tools, and so forth, but high resolution graphics were hard to do fast.

And it is not even palette shifting. The Apple has absolute colors. He literally made another draw routine that performed the XOR operation.

For a modern day example of similar dedication, check this out:

Python scripts create in line assembly for the ray caster, PLASMA byte code interpreter, big world, animations, and excellent use of the 6 colors and artifact art.

A game this big would have been epic in the day. The team has been grinding away at it for some years now.

It will end up being an exemplary example of an RPG, and on the Apple, that kind of game is in the sweet spot.

What Jordan did was not really considered possible. PoP amazed many people!
I like the idea of this but the process required to deploy it needs to be more carefully thought out. As it is, this currently assumes that any local agency or whatever contractor it works with will:

* Be familiar and comfortable with npm

* Be familiar and comfortable with netlify

* Be aware of this as a possible option

The bar for these folks is pretty darn low. A lot of organizations end up contracting with individuals or organizations not because they're up to speed on modern web development but because they knew them from somewhere else.

Setting this up as some kind of hosted service would probably be a good next step.
Not to mention we have designs for ventilators. Companies have been making them for almost 100 years -- the first one was made in 1928. All we need to do is have the government tell the companies to do so. New designs are not required.
PV energy payback is typically on the order of 1 or 2 years.
We really don't have a shortage of space to put solar panels. The challenge is making solar panels that are cost effective (e.g. $ per Watt).

In response to your edit: That is a possibility, that yes they may find a niche in the fancy of the rich.

But the point I'm making is that the article is hyperbolic and misleading.

Transparent solar is not the future of utility scale power generation. It is not going to solve any of the problems currently holding back solar power from becoming ubiquitous.
Everytime I see Geocities mentioned I feel sad as I could never find my old Geocities site, I tried searching through the archives. All I remember is I was in SiliconValley/Lakes after that I'm stumped.
this is a belated answer to the geophile's question a few days ago at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1898257 : if you feel you're assaulted, you should call for the local police. They tried to discourage him, but he stood his ground. Here's what happened:

Finally Metro PD shows up. It's really interesting. First of all, the cop is a BIG P&T fan and that ain't hurting. Second, I get the vibe that he is WAY sick of these federal leather-sniffers. He has that vibe that real cops have toward renta-cops....

I tell the cop the story, in a very funny way. The cop, the voice of sanity says, "What's wrong with you people? You can't just grab a guy's crank without his permission." I tell him that my genitals weren't grabbed and the cop says, "I don't care, you can't do that to people. That's assault and battery in my book."
If I recall correctly—I could be mistaken—some of the parts of the article that were supposedly "...in need of editing..." were the verbatim historical recipes, which used the archaic spellings found in the original documents (e.g. "To make pies of grene apples.") Which would make it even more entertaining, in a schadenfreude-filled sort of way.
Boxers punching with no tape is a good way to get broken wrists.
Because she’s pushing a narrative (meaning fiction mostly) to the non-subject-matter-expert masses that are conditioned to unquestionably swallow everything from sources like the NYT.
Have you considered cloud services? For example you have GCloud compute engine: https://cloud.google.com/compute/gpus-pricing
All OLED TV, including non LG OLED currently ships about 5M unit per year. The volume of those high price range OLED are tiny in total shipping volume.

And if that specific LG model charges 3 to 5K, Apple will have to sell it at 6 to 10K.
I don't think there's any reason for a 100% migration. It would be impossible to get consensus for that, like you said.

Anybody who wants to move their coins over can. There are plenty of economic, technical, and moral (climate change) reasons to do so.

Besides, when it's voluntary, people can choose to lock their coins into whichever network they like Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot. (note: ETH is the only network that has currently has contracts able to lock BTC)
The point is that if the owner has chosen to required signature verification to boot, one shouldn't be able to get around this by restoring from a hibernation image. Imagine you as the party who booted the original kernel, and an evil maid as the party injecting the fake hibernation image.

The real problem with TPM and its ilk is that keys owned by the manufacturer are baked in, rather than being owner-changeable by some suitable procedure. Overall, local cryptographic integrity does make sense. Remote Attestation is the actual threat to Freedom, but that's a separate discussion.
