Yikes. Any time I hear material design and associate it with an open source project I know the UI is going to be a nightmare.
Nah, in this case I agree. We thought the IPv4 space was more than we were ever going to need, and see where that left us...

Now we just took what we thought we needed, and added a few tens of orders of magnitude.
What about bigger hosts, such as AWS and Google Cloud?
Skin color effects your future.

Should parents change their child's skin colour.

If you think that has ethical issues, then so does height.

Cosmetics can change your life path

Crooked teeth we accept as ethical to change in children.

Breast size we don't.

I think ethics is involved, even if it's wrong.
Fully agree, but the announcement is pretty bare-bones so no reason to think that adding InfiniBand is totally out of the question, particularly since this offering seems to be pretty far from a standard GCP experience.

Having experimented with IB on Azure, I can comfortably say that the problem is not so much the fabric but the general usability of Azure itself - hot garbage doesn't do it justice.
"You need a radio to play with GNU Radio" is the most common misconception. There would be more fun if you have one, but GNU Radio itself doesn't require a radio. It's actually a general-propose signal processing and simulation tool, and a lot of things can be done without hardware.

For example, you can simulate different modulation techniques and observe them in time and frequency domain, or you can simulate an amplifier and change its the input level on an interactive GUI control panel you programmed to understand how an overdriven/saturated amplifier produces intermodulation distortion, or experimenting with different transmitter/receiver architecture (superheterodyne, direct conversion, etc).

Traditionally, these experiments can only be done in a lab with a scope and a spectrum analyzer. But now it's all possible on your desktop.
As long as the constraints are maintained within the DB correctly, it's cool. Some constraints are more complicated than FK constraints allow. Implementing as close to the DB as possible is a good idea.

To do it in app code would be a terrible idea because it throws FK referential (and data) integrity out the window.
Like everything else in the software world, I am sure they always had a "we can change or cancel anything anytime we want for whatever reason or no reason at all" clause in their written contracts.
It’s an interesting approach but I find some people who practice this end up taking up more time by needing meetings to clarify the items from the email.
Category error: people have brains.
I think it really depends on your framework. Good ones have upgrade paths that work.

"Move fast and break things" frameworks are not good ones.

My first job, I was working on a Tapestry 5 web-app. Very nice framework, very opinionated though.

And the creator, Howard L Ship, was very opinionated about breaking things. So we could never upgrade past 5.x (where I think x was 4 or 6), because it just broke everything for us, and we put weeks of dev time into trying to overcome that.

In the end, we just ported the app to Wicket, it was faster to do so.
It is? I am in Germany and I was actually wondering if it would be possible to get insurance from a foreign insurance company. The "public health insurance" is REALLY expensive for me (500€/month), but I don't see a way out.
I can't see how they would be, and you'd then not only have a criminal issue with fraud, but also driving without insurance.
As long as they serve to humans, they can be highly helpful. However, there are certainly moral and ethical issues that should be addressed prior to creating them.
No, it doesn't seem like the same issue at all. I used to use Python for most (production) things, between 2003 and 2008. Due to work, I more or less switched over to PHP and Java, and hadn't written any new Python in anger in years until a month ago. Despite all that, doing some simple stuff in Python 3 felt exactly like Python 2 always had. I'm sure that people who use it on the daily will notice and stumble against lots of differences, and porting large codebases is hardly ever fun, but it's fundamentally the same language.
And they're confident in the "performance" not the security of the device.
No, he's right. Perl is shitty. Have you ever read a random Perl script? It's impossible to interpret.
>I do wish I had a better method to scan my old negatives and skip the printing part I did try it without much success in the mid 1990s with my first flatbed scanner.

You can get this done for you relatively cheaply (about 25 cents per frame). I actually have a slide/neg scanner that's out on loan but I decided a while back to just send my scanning out. It was never going to all get done if I waited until I got around to it.
You always have the option to unfollow or mute certain keywords.
Standards are distinctly not products. Also, the thing that tends to win in this space is lock-in and network effects.
> In theory, the market should create its own institutions to deal with these situations.

Clearly, this is using "theory" in a sense other than the scientific one of a falsifiable model that has had some success in withstanding testing aimed at falsifying it.
So I'm not a really good systems guy. Its more like, knowing random stuff sometimes comes in handy.

For sockets / pipes / terminal stuff in Unix, I ultimately just had to skim over "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" cover-to-cover.

There's just a lot of things the UNIX dudes have already implemented with regards to inter-process communications, files, threads, processes, signals, and the like.

Once you know what UNIX (and Linux) have to offer, then you can start leveraging it. You don't really need to understand everything, you just need to know things to a level that "I can look it up later when I need it".

Again: you're going for breadth, not depth. Skimming over concepts and "remembering them for later". You'll know when you need it, and can come back to the book for depth later on.

For "Tee", and "Awk", and "expect", and stuff... I followed blogposts at Linode and Slicehost back in the day which covered a lot of interesting sys-admin tricks. I'm pretty sure the Slicehost pages are lost (the company was bought out by Rackspace years ago. I don't know if any of that stuff was archived)

I never was a professional sys-admin. But knowing about Awk, Tee, or various other "standard command-line tools" that web-developers use all the time allows me to script up a lot of things related to testing code, Makefiles, and the like.

I basically got that experience from just messing with servers: trying to run my own mail server or web server on the side. Cronjobs, automation, etc. etc.
You're still not out of the game, since those insane prices are reflected in the rent prices.
It's not a lot of code, a couple of thousand lines tops including the relevant parts of liblgpp.

Translating that into sane Java takes some experience but it's totally doable.
I suppose this is one way to make it clear you haven't studied the history of collective action.
> If your company doesn't want to pay for the aggravation, put your phone on silent, make sure alarms escalate to your manager, and start looking for another job.

There was a story floating round a company I used to work at, where (well before my time there) a manager had dropped the "on call" phone onto the desk of a dev with no notice, who was just told "$otherguy just quit, so you're taking the rest of his on call week". Said dev was leaving for (pre arranged and booked/paid for) vacation the next day, so he just surreptitiously slipped the on call phone into the managers briefcase and left for the week...

Manager ranted for a few hours about getting woken up, until senior management heard about it and very publicly slapped them down for it.
Personally speaking, if you're interviewing and you discuss your interest here, it tells me you think a lot about programming and your own thought patterns, with a curiosity about what's beyond what's "dreamt of in your philosophy". As long as you don't expect us to let you rewrite a whole service in it just to make you happy, these kinds of interests generally score you big points with me, conveying that you are a programmer who is eager to learn and try hard things.

Fun story about one of the devices mentioned there that I worked on. We used to store the saved wifi creds in a file named exactly what the SSID was.

Some user managed to break things, and with their permission we gathered detailed wifi logs and found they were connected to an SSID that was an ASCII depiction of the equation: boobs plus penis equals a smiley face. The issue was the forward slashes, presumably there to add fingers to the scene. Must have been an awkward customer service follow up when we told them to change their SSID while they waited for an update.
I believe the implication is that these should be law, not internal policy.
I agree completely! Widespread ban is silly, but so is a certificate that allows people to basically bring their animals where ever they want.

I have been to plenty of stores and restaurants that are dog friendly(some go so far as to have water bowls and treats around the establishment for them). It's neat and people going there know exactly what they are getting into. If I was at a movie theater and someone has a dog that freaks the fuck out every time there is ambient animal noise in a scene then I am not going to be happy. I have no expectations of any animals being at my local AMC theater, I don't see why a $200 dollar certificate allows that.
I remember when we did MS Access basics in my ICT class in what Americans would call middle school, and my teacher correctly mentioned that a telephone number is text, not a number. :)
Bremsstrahlung is not the creation of virtual particles, though it does involve a virtual photon. It is rather the radiation of (real) photons by electrons when they suddenly "decelerate" (i.e. collide with other charged particles). In fact the name "bremsstrahlung" means "braking radiation," if memory serves.
Now that it's warmer outside, having tea with my wife on the porch while soaking up some rays. Also, like you OP, I started to walk around the neighbourhood. Fresh air, the sun, and enjoying the wind. Nature is a hell of a drug.
No, it's not society. That makes it sound like everyone has a say.

It's only a very small minority of people are the ones that decide who gets punished and excluded.

It's not society, its the powerful.

This is how you have people getting banned for supporting a national politician who won election with ~49% of popular vote. Those 49% clearly didn't get a say in who gets punished and excluded. Only the powerful get that say.
Motorbikes, not bicycles, are the dominant transportation method in all those countries. Also, because of the hot weather and pollution it's just much more comfortable to sit in an air conditioned car. And then there is the factor of owning a car, used to be the symbol of wealth but is now more affordable.
A quick entry point might be found here: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/42247/are-the-met...

Essentially, for most PGP workflows, PGP encrypts the body of the message but the entirety of the metadata (things like sender, recipient, subject line, basically anything you’d think of as “metadata”) are fully unencrypted.
If someone signs a bad contract because they refuse to read and understand it, and just signs it anyways, they're still generally bound by the terms of the contract. iOS and Android both have pretty clear descriptions in their permissions dialog of what the app is asking for.
I have one coworker like that. It turns out that we're not able to schedule it until near the end of the day and it's just a simple question that could have been typed by them and answered by me far sooner had they typed the question instead of can we have a quick call.
I also wonder if it's somehow specifically engineered to keep your attention. The alternating yellow and black lines specifically seemed like a weird feature, and it made me wonder if the whole thing wasn't somehow calibrated, rather than low-effort and arbitrary.
Most "scientific studies" in this area are worthless as they use untrained college age males and only follow them for 1-3 months. Virtually any sort of training will produce significant gains in these subjects and the variance will usually be due more to outside factors than the training regimen itself.

As for the "why", this is obvious to anyone who actually trains with heavy weights. Perform 8 reps of an exercise to failure. Rest 30 seconds. Repeat. I guarantee you will not be able to perform anywhere near 8 reps on the second set, you might not even be able to perform 4. OTOH, rest 4 minutes and you very likely will be able to perform 7 if not 8 reps.

Again, I totally get your point about broscience vs actual science, but this is one of those instances where I'm not sure the "30 seconds between sets" even rises to the level of broscience. You read about it in meathead magazines and some may even claim to adhere to it to demonstrate how manly they are, but if you go to the gym and watch serious lifters lifting heavy weights, you will not find them only resting 30 seconds between sets.

It's what I use for mountaineering in the alps. It has all the mountains as searchable POIs, so it's much better than other consumer apps.
Why do you think consistency in itself is a moral obligation? To me that seems weird. For example, if I make one bad choice, am I then morally obliged to keep making the same bad choice? The NYT is morally obliged to apply its editorial policies in good faith, but it’s not obliged to ensure that the many thousands of editorial decisions that it makes in a given year are all perfectly consistent.

I notice that other than consistency (which is symmetrical and could equally argue that the NYT should have published the other person’s real name) you haven’t given any reason why the NYT should have colluded with Scott to keep his real identity a secret.
Yes. Which is why it's a fine approach in the free market fir someone actively choosing to be a freelancer not an employee.

But employment (or rather the thing that the vast majority of people get paid via, which is normal employment right now) is protected because the vast majority of people get paid cia it. we want most people to have a reliable income stream for social reasons.

Setting employee vs employee is not a good path for that.
On the local level things seem to work, they're just not getting nearly enough vaccine. The machinery is there, it's just sitting idle in the parking lot.

This is a huge, enormous screw-up which can be almost entirely pinned on promoting people that have achieved nothing but failures into EU offices, the latest and most egregious case of which is Ursula von der Leyen. Guess what, when you're promoting an incompetent moron who failed at every job so far into an office with actual power and responsibility, they're going to fuck things up. Previously they'd only promote idiots to Commissioner level or so, which was already pretty bad if you ask me, but not this bad. Not "billions worth of economic and innumerable social damage"-bad.
This is about moderation efforts, not content. Apple/Google think Twitter has good enough responses to reported violations.

Since content isn’t premoderated it’s obvious that it will always be some of that content.

The banning of this app isn’t because there are death threats but because Parler couldn’t present a moderation strategy to uphold their own ToS.
Looting is stealing. Is stealing violence?
There are two problems here that exist for Path. The first is the interface problem: the complexity of your social relationships rarely fit into a neat, usable, and efficient design. The second bigger problem though is that to achieve any level of intimacy with the people you actually care about you have to first already have a good percentage of your connections already using the service to make it work. Since new services can't achieve that scale quickly, the only option is to optimize for loose-tie connections until you can. Facebook, despite all its privacy woes, is in the best position to do that. It's too bad, because while Path does have the right intentions and something that people might actually want, the likelihood of them reaching a scale where it can be achieved while still keeping to their principles is highly unlikely.

I haven't really figured out the "why", but the observation is that people that start using the typical functional portions of a language (map/reduce/whatever) are more likely to get bogged down if the code doesn't do what they expect. And this is even for people that seem really good at it.

more specific: when i want something left alone or displayed as is, markdown does its own thing and wrecks it completely. and there is usually no easy way to negate it. no, pre-pending each line wit 4 spaces, only to get nowrap now, which works like shit in small displays, is not easy. it makes the user think and do extra work at minimum.

While this is certainly an interesting point, it really doesn't seem feasible for Apple to partner with any existing car manufacturer while escaping a higher level of human rights scrutiny than other firms. They've had many instances in the media over the years documenting this type of exploitation, all in non-US locations to be sure, but nevertheless, it's a concern that has tarnished the brand a bit over the years.

Furthermore, non-unionized partners seem unlikely to be part of the criteria on the face of it, if you're attempting to build a presumably high-end product like an Apple car. If worker benefits deriving from union activity are a large enough threat to your product, it's unlikely that you're going to be able to command high margins on it, as Apple seems to do.

Lastly, while it's one of many minor concerns, perhaps, I find all of this quite implausible, given the stature of the Apple brand. It's a huge risk to potentially dilute the Apple image with a failed or likely initially not-quite-great partnership with a company like Hyundai. Why do that and not approach one of the dozens of other higher end manufacturers like Mercedes Benz, or BMW, that are likely wanting for battery tech anyway?
How does it do these things without a high CPU overhead?!
Total hypocrisy. I also find the behavior of those that attempted to destabilize American democratic processes disgusting, but after the initial Clearview AI stories came out, for all the privacy concerns and nay-saying that was asserted and discussed at length - to then return and say "Oh wait, I actually like this tech when it can be applied to my political enemies!" is particularly odious.

Maybe, from the outset, there should be more careful evaluation of the costs + potential benefits of tech before indicting it, and then wanting to bring it back when it's convenient.
Should’ve thought about that before deciding to have children.
I like these rules, and you do great work keeping things on track. This scenario got me thinking, though: what if all but one thing in an article falls into the "doesn't add any significant information and is therefore not a good HN submission" bucket? Is it better to move on without discussing it here because we only discuss complete works, or is there a mechanism to have this community discuss just one particular fact that unfortunately doesn't have a URL dedicated to it?

Actually, it would have a URL dedicated to it if the submitter used a `#:~:text=` fragment.
I argue that LINE is really suck for multiple device support. LINE won't allow multiple iOS/Android device login (unless using "Lite" app or iPad app only for messaging) and basically the app stores messages and other data on the device. They requires to user to manually backup the data to cloud storage when changing device between same OS. The most pain is that they still don't implement data transfer between iOS/Android so chat log and other data is disappeared. Modern chat apps mush not like this.
Thats not how the crypto markets work. There is no breaker needed. They allow people to bet on falling and rising prices. A crash doesn't make people go away it makes winners and looser just like if the price goes up. The more it move in one direction the more people will be interested in betting on counter movement anyway so if it swings more its swings more likely back too.

There are certainly "cheating" exchanges out there but cheating by stooping trades every once in a while is absurdly inefficient and makes people leave the exchange even if they dont know about the cheating.
Exchanges can cheat way way simpler by front running the order books.
> I'm a Brit so I'm not familiar with Highway 1 but a quick search seems to show it is a CA road. My first virtual run on it shows three lanes on both sides, so I'll head north to SF. OK one lane. It's a provincial coastal road with adjustments.

It is a CA road, and the section that the GP is talking about is specifically the coastal part between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, or south of Monterey. These areas are one lane in each direction.

> Either get a car with a massive acceleration and overtake or enjoy the view.

It is frequently impossible to overtake. Both directions of traffic tend to be fairly steady, and there's enough turns and blind spots that safely passing is not possible. The turnout sections are often too short for more than a single car to overtake the lead car, and only if its right behind the lead car -- if you're a couple cars back there's no chance.

We're not even talking about insane speeds here. Doing 50 or 55mph on the 1 in those scenic parts is wonderful. That happens to also be just about the speed limit. But far too often there will be someone either taking in the scenery a little too much, or too scared to go any faster. Then you end up in a caravan of cars all doing 35-40mph on the road, and little chance to pass.
At that point, it becomes hard to 'calm down and enjoy the view' -- you're no longer driving for pleasure, you're effectively stuck in heavy traffic.
