It changes my perception of the browser state, learned through years of familiarization. That I could get used to. But its a bad idea on so many other levels. Its an order of magnitude harder to compress, bogging down remote-terminal operation. It scrambles the desktop metaphor - I have multiple monitors, the browser is just one tool that is open, and now this circus-themed "background" stands out like a beacon but with no functional value whatsoever. It obscures controls (as widely discussed elsewhere) which is plain bad app design. It increases (marginally) load time. It "fades in" creating a distraction for the power user - my desktop doesn't dance around otherwise unless something significant is happening. Honestly, I have to wonder if you aren't emotionally defending Google, because these are mostly obvious reasons to detest this "feature".
Not Russian, under any mirroring, slant, or rotation. Cannot be sure about Georgian - it uses completely different glyphs.
Things are a lot more sophisticated nowadays.

Back in ancient times, around the beginnings of Eternal September, we had Serdar Argic. He used to piss off half of Usenet with his repetitive denials of the Armenian Genocide.[1]

We also had Canter and Siegel (who I affectionately referred to as Cancer and Slime). They were the first massive commercial Usenet spammers.[2]

Ahh, good times. Such humble beginnings for the Information Superhighway.

I also wondered how much John Markoff influenced the tone of the book. I have a feeling it would have been more enjoyable in TSs own words.
Not good news for FC. See my post above.
The introduction of a language specification by Facebook is great.

The fact that it took over a decade for a language specification to appear is less so.

PHP-NG/PHP 7's troubled birth, and its contention with HHVM, does not bode well for PHP's future. I feel like it's going the route of Perl 5/6;Python 2/3.
> It strikes me as fashionable to hate on javascript.

Please name another programming language whose inventor has described it as having “a lot of stu­pid in it.”

It’s no longer a matter of fashion. It’s a matter of authoritative opinion.
My neighbors are my friends and I rent in SF. Takes time though. And its sad to see people leave, but that means I have a reason to visit and a place to stay in Copenhagen, for example
I got lastnamefarm.com there are plenty of variations on that theme to go around. My last name is common enough that if I had thought to get it in 1993 I would have sold it by now anyway.
Neat. In case anyone else is curious about this: http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/02/08/unitless-line-h...
I always thought of Dyson similar to Apple products. Sure you’ll get a more powerful machine for fraction of the price if you get a windows computer, but you’re missing out on the brand and the experience. Most consumer don’t care about cpu speed or memory size, it’s probably similar for the vacuum market. Which company can tell their story more effective that’s where the profit is.
Agreed. They have some of the smartest people working on that.
Is the justification for paying 6x more that those companies presume there's greater than a 6x increase in output due to network effects? I honestly haven't seen anybody try to justify the expenses over just trying to hire for the same qualities, but more dispersed.
random() is just a function name that could do anything. We can't answer the question if we don't know what random() means.
You're essentially correct, so I +1'd you. I don't think speed reading only works if the text is "worthless", but rather if the text is intuitively friendly and fairly straightforward information. Stories fit this criteria, news reports, lots of blogs, comments, etc. Math books require you to think about abstract concepts and information has to be digested, you can't simply get it through reading over something once like you can with stories.

would have been 'interesting' (albeit even more tragic) to see how this would have played out in that environment
Spectacle is deprecated, Rectangle is a fork that is still maintained.
Really? What makes someone view HN as "toxic content"?
They did compare to SCSI2SD version 5. Version 6 is supposedly much faster: "This board [V6] offers significantly better performance than the V5.x boards by adding support for synchronous SCSI transfer"
This is cool, but I am not really sure what they are doing for this 68k Mac project on top of what the original coder has already done when he created this for the X68000. If you look at the code, they translated his comments from Japanese to English and there are a lot of do-nothing/cleanup commits.

Turn on translation and hit the original author's site: http://retropc.net/gimons/rascsi/index.html
> but got some flack from people

How do they even know you're co-sleeping in the first place?
Hi, This is so very timely! I just got a allergy skin test yesterday for animals and in the doctor's words it was "negative" - however my irritated eyes would disagree - and the fate of the guinea pig in my living room is hanging in the balance.

Given the number of google results for this it would be great if you discussed how a skin response could be different than a sinus/eye response...

Also, in the section for the at home blood test - i'd be interested in understanding how blood test differ from a skin test and if it's less subjective. While I have a hive response to bee I don't have any to dog... does the blood test give me specific #'s on this spectrum? Do you use these as inputs to provide an appropriate dose of that allergen, or are all starting doeses very low.

How does this work for something like a severe bee alergy?

Given the complexity of allergies and the numerous ways they have symptoms, it would be great if you discussed how immunotherpy can help individual symptoms. Perhaps your UX could have a journey that the customer goes down. What are you alergic to? Where do you see symptoms? How bad are they? -> here's our recommedation and research that backs up why this will work for you.
It would be a dark web service paid for in bitcoin. Seriously, if you want sell raw dairy products in Canada and evade law enforcement, just pretend you are a meth dealer or international money launderer as a cover because they'll ignore you.

It is bizarre to me how many problems I've literally never seen before in my life some people on this site can come up with to defend Apple's decisions, especially things like this on a website which purports to be Hacker News.
Everyone saying Apple is finally taking Maps seriously: shit does that mean they brought their C game against Google?

Their serious "A" game against Google was what you saw with the first version. And it stunk. Just terrible. It wasn't that they weren't "serious" about Maps. Apple just completely dropped the ball. Terrible data, no bus/transit routes without third party apps (if this wasn't a huge red flag for, "we are not ready to release Maps" I don't know what is), and an icon that subconsciously told their users to drive off a bridge.

They assumed users would give them a pass on their lack of data because they would be too busy being wowed by the Flyover views. Well they were wrong.
I went through the same BS about not registering myself.
The system is incredibly bureaucratic and frustrating. But on the other hand, you never really threatened.
KairosDB is less popular, smaller, but with different limitations and is more flexible. It was inspired by the OpenTSDB design but then took a different path.

OpenTSDB relies on HBase, KairosDB has configurable and pluggable datastore - but the only production-ready so far is using Cassandra.

OpenTSDB always does interpolation of values for aggregation (which I found to be an hazardous decision), KairosDB does not really do proper series "vertical" aggregation (by vertical I mean not downsampling).

OpenTSDB is GPL, KairosDB is Apache 2.0 (that counts for closed-source integrations).

OpenTSDB supports only numerical data but supports annotations, KairosDB supports Strings and numerical in baseline but is compatible with any data type, it does not have annotations (but you may use string for that).

On their baseline OpenTSDB produces graphs on the server, KairosDB produces graphs on the client.

Both are integrated with Grafana time series dashboard, OpenTSDB has more side projects, KairosDB is the only time series database I know for being integrated with a reporting tool (BIRT).

OpenTSDB requires to create the metrics in advance using a special tool (needs to lock the cluster to allocate a new ID), KairosDB can have any kind of new metric on the fly.

If you need something modular for building custom features I strongly recommend KairosDB. Look at the code, it's really nicely crafted.

Otherwise, they both have goods, I found that KairosDB is also much less limited on the cornersides (while having less side-projects), and we now use kairosDB intensively.
A dark filter of some kind ? Can be as simple as smoked glass. The ones manufactured for modern photography are called Neutral Density filters, and they're available in a variety of f-stops, but the intensity reduction is insufficient for observing the sun safely. Higher reduction filters are built for astronomy.
Didn't even know about this when I wrote the comment. Now I'm a little more inspired to look into hardware hacking. Thanks!
My wife and I aren’t having the greatest time reading them to our toddler (she’s probably too young for them, but she says she really likes them). Calvin’s parents don’t like him! I don’t like exposing her to parents who are resentful toward their kid.

Also, shortly after he retired Bill Watterson ate at my dad’s restaurant. My dad recognized his name on the check, and told him how much of a fan I was. Bill then drew Calvin on a napkin for me. And... I can’t find that sketch! Each time I visit my parents I spend half the visit digging through boxes for it.
Yeah, this does make the comparison less fair. Mozilla might have been similarly unhelpful about this issue.

But some other points still stand, like how Firefox got back to us quickly about the "delay", and how they showed our position in a queue. Google, on the other hand, was worse than just opaque about the process.

Why were we worried about Mozilla? Because things were so bad with Google that we figured something had to go wrong with Mozilla. So we put our psychological guard up just in case.
Thanks! If you happen to use it, any feedback is appreciated :)
Thank you Aaron!
>The atrocities and genocides that Europeans brought to the world for centuries should be focused on deeply. Context: I am European and disgusted with the way we treat our impact on the world.

Well, depends on the Europeans. Some of us Europeans have been victims, rather than perpetators of colonialism for example...
Calling it "economically motivated" diminish the heinous act of mugging and theft, which is predatory and driven from greed and wanton disregard for others rights and property.
My threat model is focused on remote attacks, I consider physical access to my workstation game over. So one stays on my keys, one on my wife’s keys, and one stays plugged into my workstation.

If I’m enrolling the keys with a given service I make sure to add or remove all three at the same time so I don’t have to track which is associated with different accounts.
When you do contracting, you outline a maximum number of hours you can charge. It's usually <=20/week for any given client if you have high rates.

You don't usually get overtime or benefits, so working more than ~120% time sets a bad precedent. (It's good to do right by your clients, and people appreciate not being specifically billed for small things)

Setting aside time to not-work is a good hedge against getting over-committed, especially since individual contracts can ebb and flow in the volume of work required.

Also, do you realize exactly when you are asking this question? It's two days before Valentine's Day, and a Friday evening for most readers. I know this is Hacker News, but I'm kind of surprised at how tame the responses are.
Maybe revisit that comment in your mid 40s or 50s.

Up until around age 35 or so, I was generally very lean and did not get noticably fat regardless of my lifestyle.

I know I haven't gotten any stupider. Hormonal changes are the most likely difference for me.
I wonder if they're considering Postgres? I bet that's a hotly requested feature.
Given the past feats from Theo de Raadt, my guess is on a nice stunt to get a free thorough code check :)
No! We are seeing time and time again that big companies acquiring sites that are not directly relevant to their core businesses leave those acquisitions floundering. Google has the same problems of acquisitions that have just disappeared.

If delicious is to survive and flourish, then the organisation that should run delicious should be an organisation that solely concentrates on running delicious. Perhaps spinning it off as a separate business entity is the right way.

Delicious has stagnated for far too long as it is. So either spin it out into an independent business entity with fresh ideas and initiative, or replace it with a federated platform to allow others to innovate on top of it.
As I said, I'm tempted.

I have started outright flagging anything with "dying" or "dead" in the title that isn't about medicine.
I fully agree with the article, however, when I think of most the big successes of the last 10 years, they all fall in the exception category.

What does that tell me? Would that have worked for twitter? No. For Google search? Barely. For Facebook? Probably not. GroupOn? Probably.
> (took a few hours because they are experiencing a lot of traffic right now)

Honestly, I think that's unacceptable for a relatively unknown service that charges a steep price ($25/year for _bookmarking_ is pretty crazy). To not get good uptime and speedy access and have a bold red banner on the top of your homepage claiming poor scaling is not encouraging.
"The gold age of SciFi is between 8 and 12"

Only someone who doesn't truly love Sci-fi can say that ... Also, if you are saying that Dick is dull (by the way, Dick is totally different from Heinlein), than you have no clue and your opinion does not count. :-)
http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:YHOO&fstype=ii

Yahoo makes $6,000,000,000 (6 B) in revenue every year.

Yes, they have some problems. But "Absolute Disarray"? Come on. Their problem is just finding out how to leverage that cash into more cash. That's not a bad problem to have.
The guy who wrote this is making linear correlations on likert scales? SERIOUSLY? Looks like some pretty poor understanding of stats.
I have no idea what are you talking about regarding OOP issues. From the Lamson project you can see he is using OOP.

Also, how and when is he arrogant? When he is being called names over and over? And just now you've insulted him saying he doesn't understand OOP. You know Linus Torvalds is not very fond of OOP as well, right?

Always use OOP where it makes sense. I don't think he ever argued that.
35 minutes is a stretch. Starting at Penn Station, Google Maps has 52m as the minimum and 1h11m as the max.

And that's from Penn Station. Add the time it takes to get to Penn Station from where you're going, it can easily be between 1h30m and 2h. I did this trip yesterday, and from where I started in Soho until the airport, it was 1h45m.
GL tracing a drone built from part kits bought of deal extreme or Ebay.

Most of those drones are built from general purpose electronics which even if they were original and no knock off which is very common these days they would've been bought from some reseller in bulk and no one actually tracks individual components.

While i agree that it's easy enough for a detective to go and ask around who has a drone but once you have enough of them flying around that won't be as simple either.
The merge button status is always in sync with the diff. It is disabled if the diff won't merge correctly.

To answer your earlier question more directly: the diff that is shown is a diff against an earlier master. (It's in fact a diff against the point where the branch forked off of master.)
why is 'out' inbound, and 'in' outbound?
Yup, they do "big" integration well.

The actual system is inferior UI wise (personal opinion) compared to DropBox.

Sync is worse then DropBox [edit: meant, better then] Google Drive (I find Drive worse then DropBox).

As far as reliability, its top notch, but I can't state anything on DropBox/Drive except that Drive has screwed up version control at a prior company.

Second biggest failing:
Its own "collab" format is horrible (think google docs, etc.). Very poorly done.

Its biggest failing:
No tree view. You can't "expand" folders.

That is ludicrous and makes it extremely hard to navigate. We'll have VP's joke about how they gave up on finding stuff, and just email a group to find X / Y doc / presentation, etc.

Its permissions need work, but overall decent.

Summary: as far as Enterprise level software? It does pretty well, and far less buggy then most things that get plugged into AMS (asset management), Content management, Project Management (several) systems.
I am all for more clarity on this stuff. Income inequality is a real challenge and the tax code is a significant way to redistribute wealth in a county.

That said this article is a bit tough to swallow. It starts by saying how they cant actually be sure how many people are evading taxes because it is too difficult to figure out and then go on to put a plot with explicit percentages around the amount of tax evasion per income bracket and use very specific numbers to back up their points.

(1) It seems like the article is trying paint with a pretty broad brush on a currently well despised class of individuals without much evidence. The argument is -- "their business arrangements are too complex, thus they must be hiding something". It really seems like the kind of headline that reinforces a bias that the system is rigged. Which there is inherent truth too.

(2) Instead of trying to change the tax code - why don't you go arm the IRS to actually pursue tax evaders? The policy that we're just going to change the whole tax code to solve our tax problem ends up in the same place after the fact. New tax code, unarmed IRS.

(3) Seems like Washington post is pushing an article to provide cover for the Dems to change the tax code and foment further anger towards inequality. I am angry about inequality but I am also angry at low quality reporting with a clear axe to grind.

(4) Any Americans who file taxes from abroad know how laborious the reporting requirements are - I would be surprised if most people don't file all the required information which includes all your bank accounts and assets. I highly suspect there isn't nearly as much fraud as in the past - especially with the incredibly painful fines associated with non-disclosure.
The bang syntax is specific to ipython. I'm not sure it's really desirable outside of that context. It lacks a lot of process control features you'd want in order to make things robust for general purpose scripting purposes.
The fact that their entire business and privacy policy is built on that idea? Trust isn't a binary thing. You can trust someone but still, rightfully, be concerned that what they're saying may not be 100% accurate.

But if you have to choose who to trust more between two established companies, with one stating 'We don't collect your personal information, here's why you should care.' and another saying 'When you use our services, you’re trusting us with your information'. And the latter proceeds to hit you with a 50+ page doc explaining how they track essentially every interaction you make on their services, or services that use them, which would you trust more?
It’s probably not easy/possible, but vote with your feet to a less corrupt country?
Nominally, by providing capital to companies innovating in the market, allowing them to improve their business and provide more value to their customers.
Does that make it better? IMHO, it‘s even worse.
my only complaint with the pg_upgrade (with or without the --link) is for some reason, it does not move the statistics over, and you have to rebuild them, or have horrible performance for a while, until each page hits it auto-analyze thresholds.

I'm doing some testing now for my DB, and the rebuilding all stats takes far, far longer than the upgrade. The upgrade takes seconds, and it takes a while to analyze multi-TB sized tables, even on SSDs.
Yes, and: Apple's UX is getting better. Controlling all the devices has enabled better integration. Stuff like Handoff and Siri-capable multiple devices. Often still frustrating, but definitely improving.
Your statement intrigued me, so I fired up the ol' googles and started looking to see if anyone had tried this. And within the first page of results I found a comment from you a few months ago saying the same thing! :)

This seems really interesting - at least for debugging (I worry that it would tank performance under load). Have you considered trying to work on it? My googling suggest that you seem rather interested in the idea! The postgres community is overall really welcoming to contributions (as is the OpenTelemetry community, hint hint).
Probably because scripting is programming.
If you run their client you've already made the decision to trust them to behave responsibly. The rest of this discussion is simply about obfuscation.
What I find really iritating with Twitter and Facebook logins is that the rights an app asks for (e.g. post tweets, read DMs) is an all-or-nothing proposition.

It should be more configurable at the point of login so that you can refuse to grant something that a 3rd part app is asking (e.g. often I don't want 3rd party apps sending tweets as me), and let the app figure out if thats ok.
Most people will experience noticeable side effects from antidepressants for at least a week. It doesn't sound like you ever tried one honestly.
Spoiler: At the end of TFA, they actually reveal that they are already working on it.
This paper attempts to classify and evaluate mitigation techniques for flawed metrics. https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/90649/1/MPRA_paper_90649.pdf
Model X doors are pretty mechanically exotic and the normal way they're opened requires electric power. E.g. the prying done at 15 minutes into the video is not at all how you'd force a normal car door.
Terrible examples, the 3rd one was after the event, the first one literally isn't inciting anything unless you have a sheer irrational hatred for trump and only see things through an incredibly one dimensional, emotional POV where he can't even scratch his chin without it upsetting you.
From looking at previous pardons, it can simply be "Anyone in DC on Weds or Thurs has any and all crimes pardonded during that time spand and location".

The President actually has the power to simply write "I Pardon Every US citizen of all crime for all time," and it would work.

Go read on some previous large group pardons. There is no limit on what can be done, as the Constitution gives none. There is only question about if the President can pardon himself, which may be tested soon.
Were both houses of Congress and the VP certifying the vote of the next PoTUS at the Pizza Hut? No? Then there's a big difference.
Oh yeah! That is usually what I end up doing, but even as you forbid lane switching on the nodes preceding the turn, the sims still will all switch lanes at the node closest to the turn which does not have lane switching forbidden. Causing the backup to happen, not at the exit, but 3-4 nodes before the exit! Lol, I don't know how to solve it
