Yeah, I think it mostly is, but by the same token it might bring some of the baggage of those terms with it, such as support consideration of the facts, or refusal to accept any negative assertion, which is also sometimes associated with fanboy/fangirl. It's more to do with whether you use the term in a positive or negative context, as that will likely control what attributes it brings to mind. If you aren't careful to define that context, you're allowing others to define it themselves (even if it makes little sense in most cases for people to be using it in a way most would consider negative but applied to themselves. Exceptions do exist though...).

I'm not missing anything at all. I commented solely to make the observation that you put words in the mouth of the commenter you originally replied to, which is way beyond semantics.
She's currently owed $2,282, meaning accounts receivable in accounting terms. This doesn't tell us anything about her overall profit.

That said, you're right in that there's definitely a discrepancy in the value of what she's getting, and the real dollar cost of what she has to pay for them. If she pays $100 for a shower head she didn't need and gets stiffed on the refund, she's out (almost) $100 even if she gets to keep the product.

I strongly recommend just sitting him or her down and explaining why this is a problem (you've articulated it well here). Either they get more diligent (great) they can't get more diligent (not great) or they refuse to be more diligent (really not great).

I think that there's sometimes a tendency to overthink management topics - there's no need to overthink this one.
Does anyone know how to trigger math rendering? I entered sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2 but got nothing.
>. . .or other reasons.

In my case, that would be anything written in Python that targets WebAssembly.

If Javascript is obviated, that's one less programming language mouth to feed.
> You won’t trade MtG cards but NFTs.

How about MtG cards that are NFTs? Before a match, both players commit to a deck of cards and produce a zero-knowledge proof that they own all the cards in the deck (i.e. without revealing which cards they have.) All kinds of cryptographic tricks will be necessary to simulate the process of shuffling and drawing cards while ensuring that nobody can cheat. Exciting!
The physical world collectibles will have NFTs associated, allowing the best of both worlds.
To quote Weird Al,

My new computer's got the clocks, it rocks/But it was obsolete before I opened the box/You say you've had your desktop for over a week? Throw that junk away, man, it's an antique/
Your laptop is a month old? Well that's great/If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight.

These days, my parent's 8-year-old computer with 8GB+ of memory, a high-end (for the time) CPU, and an SSD is good enough for everything they do.
What's nondeterministic about TypeScript / JavaScript?
This engine is still in early phase and not quite production ready, but you can already make complex narrative games with it. The scripting language is strongly inspired by renpy so it should feel familiar to anyone who's used it.

It is built in TypeScript with Vue.js and so games made with it run directly on the web. It uses VueX to manage the entire state of the game.

The scripting language is turing complete (taking advantage of JavaScript for some features like conditions), also has saving and loading, labels for separating game script in files and functions, and features like skill checks.
I am doing something somewhat similar - I have a Postgres database and I send all the user tables to the client on connection and then stream all the updates. I use Vue and Vuex-ORM to make the client tables reactive, and put a view on that. When something changes in the database, the client UI will also update.

It is indeed a very powerful and reliable way of ensuring synced state.
I really do hate full-height left and right keys, they're strictly worse in my usage.
btw my comment/question here is genuine - I want to know so I know I'm not potentially missing something critical and being a jerk
Not knowing what country you are in, I would bet that the situation of unions there ultimately is a result of the global labor movement of the 19th and 20th centuries, which came to be via strikes and grassroots union organizing activities.
It is unclear if Gmail is proportionally any worse than the others. Is the 119 suspended accounts more or less than 41% of the total number of suspended accounts?
Yep the ISO layout has the \| key next to Z!
Cmon now, Enron != VTI/SPY/index funds
I wrote this a while ago, and, if anything, the conclusions in it are too weak.

Google Analytics isn't strictly necessary these days, and more and more marketers will pick up on that, I think.
1000 writes in 5 seconds for mongo? Running 1.4, I get ~2500/sec on an old P4 desktop that I was using to test on. I've only recently started working with mongo, and I have no experience working with 1.3, the unstable development version that he lost his data using. I'm having a hard time buying into his comparison.
I think the standard way a tetrachromatic person would discover they are that way is they walk around all day wondering why everyone is wearing mismatched colors and nobody seems to notice or agree with them.
I just tried to rent a truck from them last week, but switched to penske because of uhaul's website and reservation workflow.

Godaddy tries to sell less add-on services than U-Haul. They seriously have like 10+ pages of add-on's that no one wants.
Which languages does it work on? I don't find this information.
Well said. I think the biggest break he's ever had was Steve Job's endorsing one of Gruber's posts as Apple reasoning.
That assumes that people would adopt a code dump that's net-negative in value. More likely, they'd salvage just the good parts.
A normal distribution implies that negative values are possible, no matter the mean. I definitely considered that the mean isn't 0.
Isn't that the whole point of discussion? Otherwise, all comments would only be contradicting their parent. The upvote count allowed us to balance disagreements (which usually need an counter-argument) with agreement, which don't need to re-iterate what has been said.

Now we get to have a lot of "+1" to counter-balance the criticism.
+1 on the functionality to insert items before. I'm surprised this isn't there yet... seems like a pretty crucial component. Regardless, great app!
with any luck, and it's looking very likely, your "mistake" is going to cost you your business

you've already enraged the community who builds apps, so your forthcoming ban from the marketplace might not even be necessary

i'm personally hoping Google takes a section from the ToS you've undoubtedly breached and sues you into oblivion
On a second thought, you're absolutely right. There's really no way I can tell what's good engineering or bad in present time until a few decades down the track.
I find it amusing that this may come as a surprise. Facebook's got so big that people think it's a government institution or something.

The outraged tone and arguments of the article imply that the author thinks he has “rights”, hence his fairness demands. This is a privately owned website, they can do what ever the ____ they want with the data that you give them. This quote from the article exemplifies this view:

How dare we post our own content to our own Facebook page

They really think it's their own. I can't decide if that's sad or hilarious.

I'm not an open web fanatic, but such naivety from a tech savvy site is scary.
Regular people must think Facebook is a given, like air or tap water.
This widespread lack of education is going to get ugly soon.

Maybe I'm just a grumpy young guy, but I can't understand why people not only use, but depend on Facebook.

Look at Hacker News, there is something interesting here everyday. I'm sure there are equally relevant sites in almost every field of knowledge. Yet, I've never seen anything in Facebook deeper than regular gossip or elevator chitchat about the weather: your friend spent last holiday at his beach house. Wow.

And regarding business contacts, C'mon. We've been doing business networks for ages. I've yet to see someone getting loads of money because of whom they met at Facebook.
X11 on a phone? I don't know whether to be impressed or horrified. I should ask usenet.

Hi HN, I'm Jay - a full-stack Software Developer. I'm a recovering Structural Engineer with experience automating structural and financial analysis calculations, but decided to pursue new challenges and use more modern technologies after VBA caused me to lose all my hair.
A big difference in 2014/2015 is the friction between an impulse to buy something, and actually paying for that something is lower thanks to smart mobile phones
If you go to the store, you're missing it for days as well. I was told a repair would take 3-5 biz days after I dropped it off - drop off on Monday, Tuesday is first biz day, etc. So.. effectively up to 1 week no computer, out min $300, and no replacement in the meantime.
Open offices are about cost saving in facility costs...which is generally a stupid way to do it. Your employees (and the work they produce) is far more important and expensive to your business.

Most places are organized into small teams, small team rooms work the best. Have a few isolation rooms for people who need intense focus and conference rooms for cross-team communication.

It's a formula that works and works well. The team can set the room rules and culture, people can still get stuff done and cross-communication is perfectly available.

Nobody needs to be trying to get work done in the equivalent of the floor of a busy warehouse.
Assuming the last question is earnest: while I think "amateur" is a tad strong, I do think that Linux suffers enormously from NIH; it remains the first system (or first Unix system, anyway) for many of its contributors, who seem to know no other way -- and this shows up all over the system.[1]

In terms of how this has changed over time: if anything, it used to be much, much worse. For example, Linus' attitude on kernel debugging circa 2000[2] is not merely amateurish, and not merely irresponsible, but actively dangerous. While his attitudes have soften over the years, there still remain striking differences of engineering principle between Linux and other systems -- of which systemd is merely (in my opinion) one particularly egregious manifestation.

It's worth noting that most gambling sites warn their employees against travelling to the US. The US has in the past arrested employees of foreign firms for actions which are entirely legal in their home country but illegal in the US.

And it's not just gambling sites, in 2001 Dmitry Sklyarov was arrested on a similar basis.
Odd, when I posted it all of the photos were there. They were a list of steam/xbox style achievements related to IT.

Looking at it now, it seems that the cache link expired. Googling the original address and viewing cache will show a version with the images.
TLDR; It's marginally faster than the Boxster architecture, but slower than the Carrera architecture.
The apparent source of this information is hardly a person that is considered to be reliable. Eldar has a track record of false rumors for the purpose of gaining more attention to himself.
I do all of my development on a machine in my home office, so I have the same files and tools whether I'm downstairs or across the world. So mostly it's ssh/vim/cscope. I build/test on other machines, so throw in rsync as well - most often directly, but occasionally into an sshfs-mounted directory (actually editing via sshfs is a bit painful sometimes). When things seem particularly flaky I'll use tmux to keep stuff going through disconnections, but usually I can do without.
I've gone ahead and posted this over on Quora for a longer lived discussion.

I have been thinking of learning a new language, would anyone recommend go over haskell (simply for the sake of learning, real world applicability aside)?
I wonder if I'm the only Go Player who is annoyed by Google naming their language after one of the worlds most popular board games.
Historical correction: the monad idea originated with Eugenio Moggi not Philip Wadler.

dear god, this is from 1998 when CVS was state of the art. Why was this posted?

The point is that leaks of this magnitude have much broader effects than you can imagine. You can argue about whether it is a net positive or negative, but there WILL be negative consequences and to pretend otherwise is just fooling yourself.
the thing is, self being explicit makes it more consistent

unlike 'self' in other languages as a keyword, 'self' is just a variable with the same scoping.

i.e self always refers to the most inner scope in other languages (a special variable), meanwhile self in python is
wherever self was bound in the current scope.

and fwiw: len is a holdover from earlier python (you can define a method __len__ if you want...)
The problem with that is that many non-business people don't have audible notifications turned on for email. When I receive an SMS I know it's a real person and thus important, whereas when I receive an email it's probably a group-buying site email or a server notification or something else not worth interrupting me. Until we get much better prioritization tools, it'll be hard for SMS to replace email.
Same here, but it may be an age thing rather than a wealth thing. Both correlations exist.
Here's the problem that I see that few people discuss. Why should China and India care? The vast majority of their combined population, about 30% of the world's total, live under miserable circumstances by western standards. Move 100 million people off the coastline? No big deal. More typhoons? Oh well, we'll just rebuild the shacks.

China has a far greater problem in balancing the needs and wants of the haves and have-nots and they are going to address those issues first. They have everything to gain by continuing to industrialize and I think that anyone who believes that they will actually cut their emissions is kidding themselves.

I think we could take a huge step towards energy independence by building nuclear plants and driving hydrogen cars. Instead of dozens of smaller problems to solve, we could focus on just one: what to do with nuclear waste.
My understanding is, the more hardware/software reliability,durability increases, the less may be the need for humans to intervene.

If we look outside, technological trends and intents of organizational leaders are in the direction of more automation and lesser human dependence.
Related: Some of us know where we're trying to go, though. Maybe.
As I understand it, murder in space is easy to deal with. You simply call a meeting to decide who the murderer was. After a majority vote, the guilty party is evacuated from the airlock.
Async/await is specialised syntax for a more generic concept of monads which haskell was the language in which this was heavily researched.

Specifically continuation monad describes asynchronous computation (promises) and was one of the motivating examples
In the early 90s going back all the way to Moggis original "notions of computations" paper from 1991
http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/monads.html

Async/await and LINQ were the brainchild of Erik Meijer. A haskell researcher.

Also see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25565229 from a recent discussion here.

Specifically http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.72.... where Eric tells his story about bringing haskell concepts to .NET
Xanax is for people who don't want to think, psychedelics are for people who feel they can't think enough. Accidentally, (too much) Xanax turns people into zombies who can't think while (too much) psychedelics turns people into aliens that talk a different language than everyone else.
The data was from people’s public profiles, it’s not unintentionally public. the issue was making it scrapable.

Interestingly the page for polarization of light has a very significant mistake in it. Since the demo allows the use of more than two polarizing filters, what is missing is the quantum effect that occurs when you have 3. When the outer two are the same polarization, and the middle one is opposing, the light will show through at approximately 50% even though it seems to be "stopped" at the second lens.

It's not the same as the double-slit example, but is related to it.

Either way, this site is really good. Unfortunately the first thing I tried to replicate didn't work because they haven't taken quantum effects into account.

Here is a video about the effect with 3 polarized lenses - it sounds crazy enough I want to add a bit of proof to avoid downvotes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqZHYo7ONs

And here is Action Labs demonstrating something related, where light seemingly shines through a solid ball for a slightly different, but not unrelated reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM9alPcOMcU
Thats a great start. But blocking entire data centers seems too aggressive for public SaaS applications.

This has lit a fire in my arse. I'm going to create a repo tomorrow for ExpressJS (I'm a NodeJS nerd).

It can be used like this

app.use(blacklist.middleware)

It will compare every request to a known .txt of strings such as '.env' and others.

Regex is NOT my forte, Can I count on some of you guys to pitch in?
It certainly will get you more emails. Even the unwanted kind.
My (moral) problems with von Neumann are of entirely different nature, namely his persistent advocacy for a "preemptive" nuclear first strike, before the USSR could roll out a thermonuclear bomb in production. Which might be regarded as attempted, cold-blooded genocide. So, not my personal hero.
They consumed a fish tank cleaning chemical, not a pharmaceutical prescription.
That link has absolutely nothing to do with whether Trump "recommends that the public obtain and self medicate with chloroquine"
The article says Trump instructed the FDA to clinically trial it, and describes the conditions under which a doctor can currently prescribe it. What exactly are you claiming is irresponsible about this?
Please just delete that. You're being irresponsible.

There's evidence of Chloroquine working, but the pro/con benefits don't seem to be clear yet. And it's a potent drug with harsh side effects that needs to be administered by someone who knows what they are doing.

Meanwhile, Forsythia was entirely pointless in that movie.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding your point, but :markdown isn't a tag that gets output to html, it just designates the beginning of the block to be processed with markdown, so classes and ids aren't applicable. If you want the markdown block in a class or id, you just do this:

#id.class
:markdown
[A link](/path)

outputs:

<div id="id" class="class">
<a href="/path">A link</a>

You're probably going to forget everything you read in this article in a month unless you review it on a regular basis, and if you're going to go to that much effort, you might as well sign up for a real class and get some experience throwing another person's body around!

If you don't want to spend time learning and practicing fighting techniques, but you're worried about how you'll fare in a fight, add this to the long list of reasons to keep yourself strong and well-conditioned. Technique is a strength multiplier, and you don't have any technique. An experienced fighter is a wonder of efficency and minimal effort; you won't be. It's amazing how fast you can get tired in a situation where you're going all out (and it's a bad idea to work any less hard than the other guy -- that's another strategy that's only for people who practice and have real skill!)
I had to look up the story Gavin de Becker was quoting, I never heard it before but it was the Unabomber. http://articles.latimes.com/1995-07-09/news/mn-22130_1_suspi...
Aren't they different?

The fact that they use roughly the same engine doesn't count for very much. It's the implementation that matters.
1) Go to a doctor, and get diagnosed as to how bad things have gotten. You catch it early, and you just change behavior. A little later? Cortisone injections. Too late? Surgery that may cripple you.
2) Get your doctor to get you to a physical therapist that specializes in this. When I did mine I was in Silicon Valley and they were everywhere, but where you live YMMV.
3) Listen to the physical therapist and do what he/she tells you. ignore everybody else here.

For me, my #3 was "Code only, exclusively, and forever on a Kinesis Ergo or Maltron Keyboard, and never, ever, ever, for any reason, use a mouse; only a Logitech Marble Mouse". That might be the right story for you. It might not. My particular problems are with the messed up way I type on a flat (or flat-ish) keyboard, and wrist pronation from bad mouse usage.

Here's the thing: My Symptoms Are Useless To You. As much as this thread could turn into 50 people recounting their RSI stories, it's rubbish to you. Follow my #1, #2, and #3, and you'll be fine. Ignore any of them, for any reason, and you may cripple yourself.

There's a time and a place for "Ask HN". This isn't. This is a time a place for "Ask a bloody Doctor".

Looks great! I'm very happy with ST3 on Linux, it's my favorite editor by far.

I didn't know v4 was coming out soon, but I'll probably upgrade just to stay on the bleeding edge and to support independent development.
Have you tried making multiple bookings in the same account or multiple emails since Feb? They seem to have a job that checks for duplicate bookings (based on email and/or names/passports) and emails you to warn you if you don’t remove the excess bookings they will cancel all of them. Don’t actually know if they follow through with it...

Yeah the system is broken. Lots of people were running tools to automate bookings in order to find and secure a date, given how quickly they get snapped up. It’s marginally harder now they are using a captcha.
It depends, for other python REPL/Env not really but it is the standard way to call shell command from ed [1] for example. Julia have also a shell mode in its REPL [2]. Personally, I like to use Raku [3] instead of Python or Shell script. It make it easy to drop one-liner, call shell commands [4] and you can super easily make a script a small CLI utilities by writing a MAIN sub [5].
