There is a reason movies don't price based on popularity. Because it sends a subtle (and not so subtle) signal of popularity.

People would rather do without than do something unpopular.

The people with the low prices would still not get messages, because who wants to message someone so unpopular that you're the only one interested in them?
Yeah, I hate that :( Reddit does the same, plus their image service is just terrible.
I am no pro-cheating (as I said in the other thread on this) but I don't see this as cheating.

"Why shouldn't a community of professors be able to cache and re-use questions?"

Well, the reality of having Greeks / Clubs that maintain a library makes this difficult, but even worse is what it actually says about the class and the teacher. If the class is so cookie cutter than why not just have videos from the publisher and an online test? What has this teacher learned from previous offerings? A test is a teacher's summation of the important points taught in the class. It should be improved and modified to account for new information and improvements in the teacher's teaching style. Cookie cutter tests lead me to believe he put the same effort into the lectures. I question anyone who probably spent more time proving cheating than creating the test in the first place.
That's a great idea. Did you have to stop because you're working in an office now? Being able to use a treadmill desk is actually one of the main reasons I want to spend more time working from home.
In a big text file, with raw URLs. I don't care that I can't view it on mobile. Most of the links come from my mobile device anyway via iCloud sync. I have a browser addon that copies all open tabs and coverts them to raw URLs, so I just open up my bookmarks.html, trim all the cruft from it, and then merge to the main .TXT file that has my 'master list' of URLs.
That's crazy comparative to most places I've lived. $1400 will get you a 2 bedroom apartment in a run down complex in the DFW area. Right now, $2350 gets you into a doublewide in Alameda.
> So, it turns out (and I will give it to you as an exercise!) that you can color 2ⁿ⁻¹ vertices of the cube with two colors without any vertices of a single color being adjacant to each other

For n=3, a three-dimensional cube, you're saying I can colour four vertices.

But I can colour all eight.

r --- g
|\ |\
| g --+ r
| | | |
g +-- r |
\| \|
r --- g

And I think there's a simple method to take a completely coloured n-cube and construct a completely coloured n+1-cube: make a copy, flip the colours, then connect corresponding vertices.

What have I misunderstood?
Then it's not "Show HN"; it's "Ask HN".

Besides, if you are thinking of opening it up for self hosting, what does it matter if the sample size of HN readers who seen your headline and click on it think it is a "good idea" or not?
23% (576k out of total 2515).

The rate of 169 per 100k is confirmed in this story as well.
rsync.net has "subaccounts" which allow you to control side-by-side backup directories using standard UNIX permissions and ownerships. That is, if the default configuration is not exactly what you'd like.

Subaccounts even get their own .ssh/authorized_keys file.

It's all very unix centered and command-line focused. There's no web interface for features like this.
I suppose the only viable, non-editorialized title would be:

* "Yet Another Collaboration Tool" or

* "fibery.io/anxiety"

But that really doesn't convey the content very well.
Playing semantics here, but is that porn? You could argue it wasn't made with prurient intent.
partly this is because education establishments insist on copyright assignment.

My mother got hit with this when she tried to patent the seamless sweater invention she had - suddenly the university stepped in and said it was their invention. Sure enough, she'd signed over all copyright when she started the course.

but just because it happens now doesn't mean it's morally correct. In an ideal world, do we want this?
The issue seems to be that that tracking tool does not have its data backed up in the version control system?
We have too many business interests there to speak up. See YCs recent exit.
I created an issue for it and then a PR also.

Issue: https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/issues/253

PR: https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/pull/255

Note that the version in FreeBSD ports was a bit out of date and they changed the command-line flags between then and now so I built the most recent version from source and had to make a small change in CMakeLists.txt in order to be able to build it, for which I submitted a separate PR.

CMakeLists.txt PR: https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal/pull/254

If these two PRs are accepted and a new version of Eternal Terminal is released with these changes included then I can ask the FreeBSD package maintainers to update the port and for that rc.d service file to be included in the FreeBSD port and package.
"I'm a CTO and I provide CTO services for my clients."

Blah.
(1) Stop talking with your friend. Don't talk to anyone who doesn't have the authority to pay you.

(2) Do you have a written contract? If not, what formal/legal obligation do they have to pay you?

If there's no contract, you might have a copyright or other claim.

You won't get paid until you start acting like the other folks who they pay.
Perhaps I should have expanded on why writing a spoken language as IPA is a bad idea.

Language is fluid and always changing, if you start to spell words using the IPA then you need variations for every different accent and you need to update the spelling as accents change over time.

Words have almost always been written down as they sound, but then the way that we say them changes. Some changes in written language happen, an obvious contemporary example being the differences between UK English and US English. But writing in IPA would mean that we need to update our written texts as our language change or it would mean that every person has to speak it the same way and in every location forever, and that you need to police it so people don't speak incorrectly.
> For me, I'd rather have an explicit form for bodies that implicity return their result and have the default be to not do that. So that's what I did for Wren.

That strikes me as an excellent decision.

> A single-line body implicitly returns its result, but a multi-line one does not

That, i'm sorry to say, does not! Assigning different semantics to two passages of code whose only syntactic difference is in the composition of their whitespace seems like it might be a misfeature.

Is it too late to consider a louder way of marking the difference? How about:

name = { "Fred" } // implicit return

Or even just introducing a terser explicit return:

name { = "Fred" } // explicit but barfulous return
name { ^"Fred" } // explicit return, also homage to Smalltalk
I don't even know of a client that implements this, but SSFP DNS records are the way to do this. http://www.openssh.com/txt/rfc4255.txt

A security conscious client can manually verify a host's SSHFP with a dig record. You'll also want DNSSEC in place to ensure the dns hasn't been spoofed either.
Mistakes Node.js Developers Make, or a critique of Node.js?
- A free chrome extension that lets you screenshot a page and copy to clipboard or upload to imgur (without watermarks etc)
- app that monitors flights for very flexible weekends (eg. a weekend stay in boston for anytime this spring)
- app that tells you which airplane flights are visible in the sky above you right now
- chrome extension that lets you clip images directly to your google drive/dropbox
- an in-browser way to send people images securely with client-only encryption/decryption
He claims ZFS is bad for databases - where is this documented?
Same here - that's how I found out about this. ISTR that Symbian let you run & receive USSD commands.
This helps some I guess, but I don't think it'd be that hard to take out all or almost all of the hardcoded initialization nodes if they're able to get IRC taken down, too. btc really needs a more robust method to locate peers. IRC with a few hardcoded fallback nodes is not very decentralized imo.
So you don't actually have the conviction to refuse to pay the criminals?

If you really believed what you are saying you would move to another country and give up your US citizenship. Until you take that kind of stand you are just a blowhard.
PG's time would be better spent arguing for top marginal tax rate increases. Or something else that's testimony against self-interest. I think it's not at all surprising that the overall reaction to his transparently talking his book is blind rage. (This isn't a particularly great response, but it's in line with every other one I've read.)
There is a history of modern worldwide homelessness. A single law signed by Reagan was only a small part of this phenomenon. The bipartisan law itself mainly concerned ending indefinite detention (sound familiar?) and for the most part, added programs to help the mentally ill. It did affect funding.

I would love to see a detailed journalistic endeavor comparing moving from California to another state, and try to match up the areas. Housing is cheaper, but what about groceries? Fuel?
The pop-up is a little sneaky to be honest. I am quite enjoying the content sifted has been putting out recently so I decided in this instance I would create an account.

I then tried to view the article again and then the pop-up appears again with different wording, letting you know it is actually a paywall, so creating an account isn't enough.
Capitalism fuels imperialism, and fascism.

Few problem with this approach:

- first customers of iterative release is a very small sample size and not always indicative for a larger market

- by building minimal versions, or selling products before they are build, you are always behind in development, causing lots of stress and presure on the dev team and increases the risk of releasing products that are unstable
My dad always said it succinctly: software no one uses is a piece of shit. Build things that someone can immediately use.
A common problem with math and some other science topics is that they often seem to be written by people who are overly fond of using the equation editor and are also often written in a very formalistic way that can be quite inscrutable to anyone who isn't already familiar with the topic.
While "Day One Patch" is basically a curse (and a reminder that pre-ordering games is a sucker bet since even people who buy it when it's released aren't sure yet what they'll actually get) it's worth remembering that even when things were "written to physical cartridges, floppy disks or CDs" there actually were version changes.

If you get into speed running you'll find that on some of these very old games it's specified the exact version you must run, e.g. the Japanese original CD release with no version on the title screen, not the English or German versions, and not a later Japanese version showing 1.0 on the title screen. Because even if a casual player doesn't care that there was a glitch where you can phase through walls by pressing PAUSE once per frame ten times in a row on the other versions, the speed runners absolutely do care.

There are musicians who clearly don't see the recording as the primary outlet, and so aren't bothered if the CD goes out with a mediocre attempt at a song because for them the live performance is what matters. That's not something that really exists for video games.
I think it would mainly be useful for posters, especially of movies or events where you can assume people know what the name is already (and where you more quickly infer because you know it probably), in which case the type works as art primarily and then gets interpreted as the title of the event, leaving a sort of heightened sense of experience regarding that poster that you would not get from things that need the title to be recognizable to draw clients.
I created the very first Twitter client for Android, sold it to Idealab and was instrumental in a strategy to move our huge market share (IIRC it was ~40% of all clients) to a new, compatible network/app. As you can tell, that didn't work out and when Twitter got notice, it kicked off the new era of official vs. third-party apps.

Good luck to anyone trying to do the same.
Maybe the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Given my experience with the network quality of Tor, I'd be surprised if scraping was A) efficient to do over Tor and B) that Stack Overflow would even notice it because as I said, the network speed is too slow, so can't add that much traffic compared to the absolutely staggering amount of traffic they get from non-Tor.
> Is their site really so sensitive as to make reading with Tor impossible?

Very much so, strange if people here don't understand that, even at the best of times APT's could be discovered down the track by their SO queries, now compare today, with heightened tensions and certain nuclear armed superpowers talking about going to war with each other.

How is this even slightly surprising? SO is vital shit, if you don't agree feel free to null route the site the next time you have a major incident at work :)
Look into EmCell.com - there's a free documentary on the clinic here: https://stemcellsmovie.com/ - under the round "Watch Movie Free" button.

They've not received much attention, nor do Western doctors/researchers have much to any knowledge at all in regards to what they're doing - because for the last 30 years they've been using fetal stem cells to successfully treat a variety of conditions; and last 25+ years offering treatment clinically.

Conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, which have "no cure" in the Western world, EmCell states and their experience is (which the documentary done by independent film maker follows at least one person treated for beginning MS symptoms) that if you treat MS earlier enough, before there's too much disease progression destroying the body's healing abilities, that the fetal stem cells will cause the dis-ease to stop progressive and even to regress (to heal) potentially fully (to be cured); multiple dystrophy, ALS, etc. are other "uncurable" treatments they offer treatment for.

As in the documentary it will be explained, they used fetal tissue that is 7-12 weeks of age, which is before the tissue begins to differentiate into that specific human tissue - before the immune system starts to develop, and so they argue it's safe to inject in anyone - as we all started from those base tissues.

I'd suggest looking at their website (which they updated recently so it's not as easy to navigate IMHO) but then also to email them to ask them specific about your daughter's issue. My guess is they at minimum would state that you could try to see if it helps - but maybe ask if they have treated other rare genetic disorders with any improvement seen.

Lately they've been diving into more specific research, like trying to improve fertility - injecting the testicles - which initial research showed a 30% increase in motility/health in sperm, etc.

They list a lot of success stories - https://emcell.com/success-stories/ - where they include (at least in their previous website they did) long-form video testimonials following them.

They also inject placental tissue into a patient's body, as placental tissue apparently has powerful anti-inflammatory and immune regulation mechanisms - so it's possible that a large amount of benefit may come from re-balancing/re-regulating the immune system however the placental tissue works to do so.
> At this point why does anyone expect any electronic to be relevant after 2 years of ownership anyway?

I pray it is a joke or sarcasm.
In their early days, they were paying affiliates $2 per email submit.
Would be awesome if you add the link to the HN page too. Sometimes I want to read the comments too.
Why? It's a fruitless endeavor. Keep internet facing things patched, limit exposure of internet facing things. If the idea of seeing those events in a log bothers you, restrict your logging to the paths you care about. :)

iOS for privacy, security updates, integration with other devices.

Android for customisation, custom roms and more varied hardware functionality (e.g. foldable devices)
It's really two different paradigms. One is about the hardware and the other is about the data. To me we shouldn't be worrying about the hardware, but rather the heirloom data and where and how it's stored and accessed. To me the implies the cloud and not local. An earth-sized computer, governed by a benevolent VI (not AI), would be ideal IMO. Terminals to access the data could be anything, from RaspPI to an Amiga to a Chromebook.
Right, so we cannot assume it's profitable. It may or may not be.

It may be that Musk uses a string of companies to shuttle money between, who knows. He did manage to convince shareholders to buy his cousins'/brother's company which ended up being a huge liability. It seems to have saved him from the public seeing one of his family's companies fail.
I hope you are being willfully disingenuous with those arguments. Parsing words in just the right way to make a partial point does not count as compelling evidence for your alternate reality.
Setting up automatic bill pay and recurring deposits reduces the time needed to manage your money (probably), but it doesn't really help with following a budget.

Probably a lot of us on HN can get by without a budget, because we are generally highly paid, so just keeping spending within reason is all it takes.

If you actually need to budget, then it would be nice to have tools to remind you that you've spent all your X money for the month/year, so either no more of that, or you need to adjust the budget.
I agree that he is thoughtful. His work on PTSD and psychedelics is interesting.
A lot of people hate being corrected on language, but many welcome it. In my life, I've certainly had my fair share of people come to me upset saying "I've been saying it wrong all this time and you never told me!"

I once saw content I found to be "objectionable".

Therefore universal censorship should be instituted in every medium to make all communication conform precisely to my own opinions, sensitivities, and preferences.

Thanks for the suggestion of `winner-mode`! Swapping between buffer arrangements based on task (coding vs shell work, etc) always felt weird.

I solve it with having a giant editor on one monitor on one screen and a large terminal w/ tabs on the other, but that doesn't work so well if I am accessing in a headless way (e.g. remote work).
In five years will the failure rate of 3-4tb drives that are harvested from external enclosures matter?
I like this.

I've seen a number of "Falshoods programmers believe about X" and they almost never provide examples or explanations, which is rather frustrating for some of the more obscure or weird cases.
Just a little backstory for ya'll.

Somewhere in late 2014 there was a thread on the /int/ board joking about how moot was apparently having a relationship with a known "SJW" as they call it. Coincidentally, /pol/, the most ass annihilating board for politically correct types was ruined after the relationship leak, chaptas were removed and keywords were replaced with the political opposites.

After this, the /v/ board started calling moot a "cuckold", to elaborate, cuck has been a meme for the last few months on /v/ due to the huge rise of affairs and relationship problems in SGDQ 2014. Moot was ridiculed based on speculation from /int/, but most of all for ruining a controversial board dedicated to news and politics.

GG was never banned on 4chan, GG threads were deleted on /v/ since it was considered spam, the GG threads continued to strive on /vg/, the "video game general" board.

In the end Moot restored /pol/ after harassment from 4channers, which may be the reason moot is retiring.

I'm probably in the minority, but while I hate Apple's trackpad less than the ones on its competitors, I still hate it.

I constantly struggle with right clicking items on Apple trackpads (and the PC trackpads that attempt to copy Apple's).

I would prefer to have two distinct buttons below the pad. To me, the new trend of pivoting pads as buttons don't work for my clumsy hands.
> Normally coworkers are excited to update and get new features.

Really?? I'm a software engineer and I'm usually pretty loath to install major updates because there's usually a greater chance that something will break, costing me hours in fix time, than I'll actually get something super useful that will improve my workflow.

Maybe I sound a little "old school", but I think for most people that at least for the past decade OS updates have been so minorly incremental that any individual update is more likely to cause pain than pleasure. This follows most "mature" technology patterns, e.g. in the late 90s and 00s there was always a pretty good reason to update your mobile phone, for example, but for the past 7 or 8 years the updates have been quite minor (slightly faster processor or better camera) - I really don't feel like I have any significant reason to upgrade until mid band and mmWave 5G become widely available.
They were pretty solid last year.

This year they're terrible. 18-25 record. That's not likely to improve in the second half, and that's in the east where it's drastically easier to win. Certainly it's a step up from the prior epically bad years.

I think it remains to be seen whether you can build a consistent winner in a city like Charlotte. The NBA is dominated by a few franchises, with the concentration of winners being twice as great as in the NFL and MLB. Going by the last 30 some odd years, there are roughly 20 teams that can never win a championship under any circumstances.
It can also totally depend on what you need, instance-wise. I have a workload that includes a lot of processing and high-memory requirements.

A 60GB r3.2xlarge spot instance on AWS will cost you about $50/month while on DO you'll be paying $640/month for a 64GB machine.

Granted, the DO machine will be way more performant, and you have to have a workload that suits spot instances.

Every time I look at things like DO to see if I'm missing out I price up my current AWS setup and they're always astronomical (for my use case).

Then there's all the other control around AWS; it's so much more advanced than all the other services. Nobody else really comes close to the flexibility they give you.

For a lot of (probably even most) web apps that probably doesn't matter. Have a look at your use case and decide if AWS is worth it.
Can you use a pre-paid credit card with Amazon? (Not that that would absolve you of owing the balance - but they might halt your account for lack of payment and prevent further charges from accruing).
