It was the inspiration for my current setup, actually!

Ultimately, pure-Bacon seems more functional, and I wanted to use something where all the "primitives" (Immutable, Bacon, etc) can be used directly, and are extremely well-supported. I may add a few abstractions (eg; a basic Mixin for event-binding, along the lines of [0]), but would prefer not to have a framework that "does too much" or has much magic, at least until it's very widely-used.

I think you might misunderstand the nature of the artificial sounds mentioned in this article. It's not talking about electric cars making noise for the benefit of pedestrians (although that does get a cursory mention), it's talking about manufacturers of pumping artificial car noises into the cabins of cars like the Ford Mustang and the BMW M5 for the enjoyment of the occupants of the vehicle.
If anything, this is just piles on hope (for me) that we'll eventually discover life on other planets that live in conditions we originally expect to be much too harsh to support life.

It seems our definition of life, or the conditions required for if to exist, are constantly challenged. From thermal tubes to 850 km from sun light, complex life forms exists in some harsh places. I'm willing to bet that we haven't even scratched the surface of the insane conditions under which life outside our understanding is able to survive and thrive.
Is it odd that I've been thinking about this one for a while now. I don't really talk to blackhat folks on the regular anymore, but given how important OpSec is, it's really sad how easily identifiable most of their code ends up being. Malware authors brag like crazy ("oh, let me just go ahead and encrypt this payload with my handle as the key...") and I wouldn't be surprised if you found some of the same from the state-sponsored folks.

I'd really love to see someone like grugq weigh in with some thoughts here. The idea of having tools to parse and rewrite my code to be as generic as possible came to me years ago.
Nitpick worth exploring on your valid point about our times: while stress can definitely be disruptive to deep cognitive work, it's a very different neuro/physiological processes than attention/focus (as you say: "attention grabbing world")

One can be quite relaxed but not at all focused and vice versa.
I surprise myself from time to time by picking up multi-year old aborted personal projects and finding them to be much more implemented than I recalled.
IIRC (this case has been going on for way to long) they didn't cope the GPLed version of the code (oracle/sun had another proprietary version).
Wine would be a much better example of fair use. It is explicitly made to allow users of linux to run programs written against win APIs. It is not so clear in the Oracle vs Google case, because it is questionable whether Google’s case was really fair use (google pretty much didn’t want to pay Sun for the mobile license and the whole thing was done as cost saving) - hence the very long timeline of the case.
You don't promote a culture by assimilating it to your own.
Here's my take, most of which is in other comments:

If you like GNU Screen, continue using that, they are very similar tools. I’m a
long term user of both, using both for a while, and now only using Tmux
exclusively. I need a terminal multiplexer, since I often use my main computer
via ssh.

The main advantage of GNU Screen for me was it was slightly more robust, it
crashed less for me. While both are pretty stable. I can run both for weeks
at a time, and not have any issues. Though, I’ve heard others report the
opposite about stability between the two tools.

Tmux has some advantages for me:

- Tmux is scriptable. You can run tmux commands to query and set the state
of Tmux. It is possible to pipe and process those results. There is some
thought behind the commands, that make them consistent and orthogonal.
Screen never really could not do much beyond listing the available
sessions.
- This has made it easy for 3rd party developers to create Tmux plugins, adding some useful features.
- I think GNU Screen can now do split screens, but I feel it is easier to do
in Tmux. Many times I have a monitor with full a window terminal, and Tmux makes
it easy to split that up into smaller independent terminal panes.

- GNU Screen development had pretty much stalled for years. Tmux is being
actively developed. Outside developers are welcome to make contributions.
- The lead Tmux developer, Nicholas Marriot, is actively engaged with
users. He responds to bug reports, helping track down bugs, and
collaborating with contributors.
- I believe GNU Screen development has started again, but to me it just
doesn’t have the same level of engagement from the developers.
- Tmux has regular releases, compared to Screen
- Tmux is more current with the latest ANSI/SGR/OSC codes, and has robust
unicode support. This hurt me most when I use a wide terminal (> 256
columns), and wanted to use the mouse, going past a certain column was
broken. There is a new encoding SGR 1006, and it didn’t work with GNU
Screen, but did with Tmux. GNU Screen picked this up in 2019, but Tmux
had it for years before. There are other codes for 24bit color, italics,
fancy underlines, etc that GNU Screen doesn’t support, but many modern
terminal emulators do. Even ITerm2 has Tmux support builtin. While I
generally don’t need these but if/when I do, Tmux just works, while GNU
Screen just ignores these codes.

While both are capable and usable, there are a lot of details that make Tmux better to me.
Welcome to dependency hell
"Cannot function in society" is something of an exaggeration. I have never used WhatsApp and never really suffered for it. The only issue I noticed is needing to check in with individual members of the board game group and rock climbing group every now and then to see if there are plans.
Perhaps if the insurgents had faced the same violent police response as BLM protestors the outcome would have been very different. But if the police let you in instead of engaging in violent escalation, why not pose for pictures and have a chat?
I find it odd to say taking him off twitter is censorship. Twitter is used by 22% of adult Americans (according to Pew).

Trump and any president, on a whim can speak live to all Americans through all cable news channels. He could have called NBC, Fox, CBS, ABC etc to the Oval Office and in 5 minutes be live on basically every channel (including being streamed live on twitter). Instead he choose Twitter.
Yes telegram is more usable IMO, but worse security.

In the past I might have said to people try telegram or signal, but now with the momentum of this whatsapp policy change I am pushing signal so I don't dilute the efforts.
M1 on 49" dell U4919DW 60Hz at 5120x1440 no issues
Why would anyone's employer do this?
Neither did I. In both cases the police should have shutdown the protests once things reached a certain point, regardless of cause.
>What does "passively supporting" mean, really?

You'd be fine, most patients on ventilators are AFAIK heavily sedated anyway. So don't overdose yourself, please
the answer, or part of it, lies with methane clathrate [0]

> a large amount of methane is trapped within a crystal structure of water, forming a solid similar to ice. Originally thought to occur only in the outer regions of the Solar System, where temperatures are low and water ice is common, significant deposits of methane clathrate have been found under sediments on the ocean floors of the Earth.

deposits of solid methane ice can exist trapped on the seafloor [1]. this is possible only at the extreme pressures of the seafloor [2].

so, on its own, a little methane in the atmosphere is not a big deal, because of the short half-life.

except, you have methane ice deposits in the ocean that can melt if the oceans get a little bit warmer.

this can enter into a fun little runaway feedback loop pretty quickly. little bit of methane melts, causing a little bit more ocean warming, causing more methane to melt, etc.

if this feedback loop were to occur, the evidence you would expect to see would be spontaneous release of methane emissions from the ocean, and you would expect it to be happening in places where the warming ocean put methane clathrates right at their melting point for that depth & pressure of seawater. which...is exactly what's happening [3]

> The study, to appear in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, a journal of the American Geophysical Union, shows that of 168 bubble plumes observed within the past decade, a disproportionate number were seen at a critical depth for the stability of methane hydrates.

> "We see an unusually high number of bubble plumes at the depth where methane hydrate would decompose if seawater has warmed," said lead author H. Paul Johnson, a UW professor of oceanography. "So it is not likely to be just emitted from the sediments; this appears to be coming from the decomposition of methane that has been frozen for thousands of years."

a similar feedback loop is possible in the Arctic tundra [4], where permafrost can melt and release trapped bubbles of gases that include methane, which in turn will warm the planet a bit and cause more permafrost to melt.

and of course the two feedback loops are able to reinforce each other, because a bit of methane released from the arctic also helps heat the oceans, and a bit of methane released by the oceans also helps melt the permafrost.

That's not a solid argument on its own. Today if you want to talk to someone then using a phone might be the first solution you can think of.
That doesn't indicate phone was a bad patent in a past.
Good question. I followed the citation in wikipedia and it points to this article:
https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1997 In the comment thread there, people are discussing the question you raise.

Essentially, it's the inclusion of the word "they" which makes the sentence incorrect. If the word "they" was removed it would be valid and would mean what you read it as.
This sounds super dumb - but given their acquisition was blocked, would Nvidia be stopped from simply buying the majority of shares at IPO?

To be clear I'm not suggesting this will happen or not, I'm just curious if it would be allowed?
How long is extended?
How did they make the concentrate without destroying all the subtle things I hear that wine is supposed to contain (and the yeast)? Did they boil it? Reverse osmosis? Vacuum?
They're probably anonymous in the same way downvotes are. The relation is stored on the system, but users can't see it. Otherwise if it was just a counter, you could flag something multiple times.
I've been out of the industry for a while, is Selenium still a thing that people use or do we not do that kind of testing anymore? I was assigned a junior SDET role long ago and I really struggled to find any use out of the testing I was doing for Selenium. It seemed extremely useless and only there to satisfy the requirements for the PM to show to the shareholders on progress.

However, I'll admit it wasn't really a good tech company nor was I even half interested in the work because, let's be real it's really monotonous and tedious especially if css selectors get changed all the time by the dev team.
At my old job i switched to 4 days a week. I'm pretty sure I got more work done overall and only got paid 80% for it. It should be a no brainer for employers

Hi from Argentina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convertibility_plan

At least a cryptocoin plan that makes minimal sense, but I don't like to encourage people to do this kind of things. Anyway, two old timeless advice:

* The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

* Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Yeah, I guess it's not fair that the Dutch taxpayers and the small/medium sized companies there have to foot the bill for running the country while the trillion+ dollar Apples of the world pay next to nothing.
An embedded engineer which is unaware of flash wear is incompetent. It's the number one failure mode of flash and more often than not drives the design decisions around it.
This is not my experience. Driver developers don't use oscilloscopes. Changing HW once the first prototype is done is expensive and it takes a lot of time for you to get the second iteration. Or you flip a bit in the driver to disable the new broken feature. Most of the driver development happens before the physical hardware even exists. Everything is virtual.
Unless I'm wrong, the only valid reason to not use a better random number generator is for performance / simplicity, which then demands benchmarks and evaluation.
Because for the plebs it's anything but a tax haven
I get so many invites of recruiters; not to offer me a job, but to sell me their data science services and products.

And what about the 'your expertise is required' messages that turn out to be questionnaires.

It's getting a bit like FB.
Then you still need to distribute the location of the metadata in the blockchain, wouldn't you? It's as silly as people who think they can store information as digits in pi.
Slightly disappointed that it doesn't have syllables. Should be easy to add, I have a list here: https://github.com/SomeKittens/Haiku-Generator
There are some core and calf muscles in play, though this is not going to make you break any sweat.
> I find it interesting that at first that sentence talks about how much the degree "adds to a person's salary", but then pegs the ratio at "four-to-one". Assuming the person entering the MBA program already had a 4 year degree, their salary potential wasn't likely $0, i.e. it didn't move the needle by a 4:1 ratio.

The Financial Times' MBA surveys assess the "Salary Increase" and "Value for Money" of various business schools.

How do you define what it "actually" is?

The 10,15,20% is still what I hear. Perhaps it differs based off where you live in the US? I've lived in CA (both northern and southern) and the norm is generally accepted to be 15%.
It would probably be more effective to update your account with nonsense details.
There's a short story, Manna [1] by Marshall Brain, which illustrates two potential outcomes of an AI revolution.

In one scenario, the people who are out of work (i.e., most of them) are housed in prison-like welfare dorms. Most jobs are done by robots, so ending up in the dorms is basically a life sentence. They are "strongly discouraged" from even going too far from the dorm buildings. This scenario plays out in the United States.

In the other scenario, taking place in Australia, the AI/machines handle all of the infrastructure of the society, and due to the efficiency with which they do so, the human members live a leisurely existence. It's essentially a post-scarcity society in which energy is the only limiting factor, so everyone gets a certain amount of disposable credits per month with which they can do what they choose--be it create art, buy custom clothing, participate in entertainment, perform research, or donate it to someone whose work they enjoy or find to be worthwhile. It reminds me of the outcome hoped for by proponents of Basic Income, which is that letting everyone do what they are most interested in doing will result in a richer existence for all of humankind.

The author also explores interesting interpersonal and technological aspects whose degree of plausibility will depend on how much you buy into the Singularity, but my main point in posting this, besides hopefully introducing someone to a good read, is to say that AI does not represent some inevitable force that is bound to change the course of human existence in one particular way. AI itself and the environment in which it exists are things that are continually shaped by human actions both individual and collective. If an AI revolution is brewing, it is in its very early stages. I have no doubt that powerful interests are interested in remaining powerful, so those of us who pay attention to developments in the field should also pay attention to the uses they are put to, and to do all we can to guide them towards humanitarian ends instead of pure profitability.

We do use SPF. It was related to the bug that caused this. It's been fixed now.
Hey guys. I'm the cofounder of Posterous.

We have looked into this issue and have confirmed this is not a security hole. No personal information is revealed to users other than through obscure links that are only available to the true site owner.

This url is only available:

1. In the emails we send to users to claim their site. So only the true owner receives these
2. On the Posterous site itself but only when we know it's the site owner (based on cookies and other tests)

That Google search does include a bunch of unclaimed sites. However, none of those sites will include the secret hash, and therefore none will expose the email address.

The fact that we include the email address in the form is definitely odd, and we're removing that now. But nonetheless, it's only visible to the person who created that site, behind obscure URLs.

We're very confident in the system we have built. While making things super simple for the common user, we never forget that our users care a lot about keeping their information secure.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We always need to be one step ahead of the hackers/spoofers, and we thank the Hacker News community for keeping us on our toes!
I have 3 but I'm not sure when they appeared since I mainly interact with GV through my phone and email.
I don't wish I had a road with better opportunities; I wish everyone had greater access to those opportunities.

I feel guilty fighting with my fellow man. I feel guilty for out-doing my neighbour.

I feel... confused. Knowing that the key to monetary success in this world would require I turn into a person I could no longer be proud of. So I'd win, but I'd lose.

I feel angry, knowing that there are people in this world who knowingly work to make things harder for others.

But that's the world we live in.

I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the only true success in life is that which you create for yourself. Doing something you believe in. Providing for your family; contributing towards the community; making the world a better place. Everything else is just a proxy for that.

I am currently between jobs with nothing on the horizon, because I chose to leave a place, a career, that I felt was abhorrent. I don't know how it'll work out. I could end up as one of those statistics; an unemployed or underemployed graduate. But there's no other option but to keep on trucking - if you think you have potential, anything else is a waste.
According to the wikipedia article, the various investigations (by UCC, the government, outside consultants) all failed to reproduce the failure mode alleged to be behind the disaster (water backflow into the mic tank). There doesn't seem to be direct evidence of sabotage, only circumstantial - all the accidental failure modes were ruled out, so what remains is deliberate introduction of water.

Note that the Indian government significantly inhibited any external investigation into the disaster.

I have CS degree and what i feel is if you already taught yourself code, you passed step 1, but I think to go to next level please focus on more Algorithm Analysis part first example Coursera -> https://www.coursera.org/specializations/algorithms. It will take a while if you have full-time job but consistency is what it matters. Once you comfortable with those concept then move to more advance distributed system areas.
This is great if there isn't a blanket ban on VPN's, but unfortunately, it won't work in China. I've had next to zero-luck keeping my own VPN tunnels open for more than a couple of days at a time when behind the great firewall.
I've been wondering whether CPR breaths could be used in extremis. It'd be pretty hellish, but I could imagine doing this for 24-36 hours if it was the only option to save my wife, for example.
I said

"I was comparing the current situation with the state where everyone is forced to stay at home. Right now, everyone is not forced to stay at home. If you're saying that the current situation is closer to everyone staying at home than to business as usual, you're probably right."

So I'm not saying this is sustainable. This definitely gives us a better idea of what pollution and driving may look like if people who can stay home do stay home, than by trying to guess what it would look like before the shutdowns started. I also said "The current situation is definitely biased towards less driving though".

I just want to point out that we shouldn't label this situation as some unobtainable ideal when it comes to pollution, but rather as a real world glimpse of what pollution could be if more people worked from home than have in the past.
they have jim keller though
same has happened to software engineering:

things that have a chance to be quantum leaps for a software project get shot down. instead we choose incremental improvements with less risk of failure.

incentives driving this include performance review cycle length, focus on immediate impact, and the startup/vc fundraising norms.
Can you elaborate? I found the description of the two quite fuzzy.
Definitely.

Propane to boil takes up a lot less space than water itself. Sawyer filters cost less than a couple days of water. Etc

If I was in a city I might understand collection of a water is the issue, where I am and seeing bottled water disappear we have no shortage of non-potable water.
If Tesla keeps growing 40% for 10 more years (which would be hugely amazing achievement), in 2030 it will become the biggest car producer in the US, selling something like double the number of the next biggest competitor, GM. I'm not going to speculate on likelihood of this, but consider this: if the optimistic scenario is that future revenues are expected to be twice that of GM, wouldn't you expect Tesla's value to be something like twice of value of GM, additionally discounted by time needed for these revenues to materialize? Alas, the market cap of Tesla is >10x that of GM.

Moreover, the market cap of the biggest car companies have been relatively stable over last 10 years, as the market cap of Tesla was soaring. If the expectation is that the Tesla will eat the automotive market (as it well might), wouldn't you expect the market cap of other companies fall accordingly? As of right now, it seems like the market expects insane increase in revenues of entire industry, not just Tesla, which doesn't seem likely to me: Tesla's growth is almost certainly mostly predicated upon cannibalizing sales of its competitors.

I think Tesla is great company, and I think Elon Musk is exactly the kind of person we need more of, if we want to have bright future instead of stagnation or degeneration. My only point is that Tesla's market cap seems to be greatly inflated, by factor of at least 5x, and possibly even 20x.
There's a big difference between competing with another business in a market on a level playing field (e.g. Android vs iPhone) and essentially deciding to ban another company in a sector from competing with you (e.g. Admob vs iAd). I think the prior is fair game, whereas the latter is anticompetitive (even as retribution for daring to compete on a level playing field).
