I had high hopes for the original series, but couldn't watch a single one past 2-3 episodes, including Alpha House (which had the great pilot with Stephen Colbert). They just didn't have the writing quality for me. They were like some average network show.
In the same way "woman" is. That is, not at all. I thought it was an obvious irony in context of the comment I replied to.
"wild assumptions" ? That's a bit hyperbolic, no?
> It actually asks if you want to restrict your app to certain carriers,

Google play allows you to do this too.
These documents are simply sent to our client apps. All the processing happens on MySQL. And since we are sending JSON, so instead of creating JSON on runtime, we store as a document and retrieve that and send to the client.

We retrieve documents using the unique id generated in mysql table.
it should be nice if it was like react( html in js)
I think they have some weird security rules. The 21 day thing happened to my brother after his first ebay sale. He phone them though and they released it immediately after verifying a few things.
I like mosh but you can't scroll back in it. That's not nice.
The Olivetti-Underwood Programma 101 was the first computer I ever programmed before graduating to the "big iron" of Fortran on punchcards fed into a mainframe.

There is a Programma 101 on display at the Computer History Museum a couple of blocks from the Googleplex. I was walking along a glass display cabinet with my kids, saying, "I used that one, and I owned that one, and that one...," when there it was in all its ancient glory.
Yeah, we're thinking about it. The problem is that a successful conference is much more than just the tech stack - helping guide the organisers through how to get the most out of it and then being around to support the event is a lot of the effort. My hunch is that it might be time better spent focusing on making the core of Matrix & Element better.
Yes, but presumably the buyers know what they can do with the CO2. I do think that knowing what happens next is important if you're interested in reducing atmospheric CO2.

> When our president announced that schools were closed, you could hear a huge yell in all households (including mine) and I let the children celebrate a day or two.

I love France.

> This also goes the other way round. Last year "end of high-school exam" (baccalauréat) is said to have been given for free. This is not fair to other years, and the pupils that got it may be seen as "the nes that got it for free, so they are nto as good as the others".

Does it really matter? If it's used to judge peers all mostly from the same year it doesn't matter too much one year was an outlier.
This is a good video somebody did to compare the Toyota's stock system (latest one known as tss 2.0) with Comma Openpilot

> City planners have to predict what is going to happen in the future decades ahead.

Current trend: single family houses have shot up in demand due to remote work.

So is the prescription "tear down single family houses"? Seems like cities that do that are just going to push people even faster towards other areas which aren't so saturated.

If this trend continues some sort of balancing between not just SF/NY but even Dallas/Austin and smaller, more rural areas, is inevitable. There just isn't enough land for more single family houses in the most popular cities! But reacting as if consumer preferences for housing type doesn't matter seems like a recipe for putting yourself into an even worse position long-term.
it's pretty cleared being sold as a devkit. would you buy a PS5 devkit and expect it to be exactly the same as the retail PS5? I don't understand the issue here

That happened in July of 2007.
After watching the history of Silicon Valley video which told of the raw deals old school founders got from their VCs, it's hard to have much sympathy for the investor class. Mark Zuckerberg cashing out enough to buy an Acura TSX probably isn't going to raise eyebrows about future liquidity terms. However, the recent Slate article about Sean Parker chartering private jets and buying a $20M carriage house might be what's really causing investor concern.
Second on all the requests above. Looking forward to the update to this soon-to-be frequently used tool of mine. Great start!
A friend of mine at Gawker told me that Nick Denton got the idea for the redesign and made them do it despite the protestations of members of the team (like, everyone selling the ad inventory). It is regarded internally as a colossal fuck up forced upon them from above.
No.

Technically, we're a federal constitutional republic and a representative democracy.

The "representative" part was implied in my previous comment.
The lyrics are not necessarily critical... you could argue they are meant to celebrate Gaga's antics ("I'm not crazy... I perform this way"). But the possibility is there of course.
I have no doubt that if humanity wanted to, it could sequester all the carbon necessary to reverse climate change, and more. The question isn't really whether humanity is capable of doing it (we are), but rather whether we will do it.

In particular, for those who have the majority of "ability" to make change, would it be easier for them to take more and more clean resources in a zero-sum battle or have a short to medium term hit in allying themselves with the rest of the world to fix climate change in the long term?

If COVID has shown us anything, the answer to the last question is unequivocally no. COVID has been a very obvious salient problem and most nations failed the test. If we can't beat COVID, we will not beat climate change. No technology can change human nature.
This is standard operating procedure for HN. Even when the market proves you wrong, continue parroting the same bullshit about tech you know absolutely nothing about.
Indeed, like fighting systemic racism with systemic racism.
Intelligence isn’t so simple. Imagine this hypothetical example, an alien copy of us identical in every way save two: (1) the average IQ is 115 on our scale*, and (2) every biological process from metabolism to synaptic speed is 95% of ours. As a species Homo sapiens been around for 0.3 Megayears. This other species would be 15,000 years behind us in subjective years, which may or may not be something a one standard deviation IQ boost could overcome.

* IQ adjusted only for the subjective speed difference caused by (2)
This I agree. Last time I tried setting up Taler, the whole stack felt archaic (it even uses GNUnet I think).

The good thing is that all the protocols are documented and it should be possible to have alternate implementations
Using your example, in the limit you end up with a data type carrying a chain of conversions with it, that reference some database that you don't own, but have to maintain access to. That altitude's reference itself is a particular geographical coordinate system (of many possible GCSes) that references a particular datum ("on what planet are we, and how does it look", of many possible datums), both of which are maintained by third-party organizations and political in nature. And then when you have another altitude with a slightly different reference, you have to handle conversions between them.

At which point you may decide you just want to represent altitude with reference = "same as everywhere else in the program, because if it's the same, it doesn't matter what it is". Which is what most non-GIS code does, except it isn't documented explicitly, and it's up to the user or integrator to ensure the data fed to the program uses the same reference as the user expects to see.
Are there any real examples of exploits of unsafe payment systems that could have been fixed by programming language features?
I will say, as much as I agree with you, even software organizations have problems that are well suited toward these low code platforms. After working through some of the quirks of retool, we have developers just adding things in the fraction of the time as they took with our first solution. I also saw another developer create an "excel++" solution with Airtable that allowed us to solve some problems that would have taken twice as long with twice as many people otherwise.

Now, this isn't every problem, but it's a very useful tool that will reduce the number of developers for some tasks. I think there is a world where a business has six or seven licenses for no-code solutions that reduce the head count by 10-15 FTEs (or redirects them)
Well, Google might want that, but I don't like ads and I don't like products that are subsidized by ads.

It's all about revenue streams ergo98: if you take ads away from Google they collapse. If you take ads away from Apple they shrug and move on.

I'm not an iPhone expert at all, but I thought that you could use 3rd party apps to play music & read books. e.g: Amazon Kindle.
You should do a "Show HN" for it. I think a lot of people will like it.
"including close to 260 million in the US."

So basically, _everyone_ in the USA minus those not online. And I bet this will go unreported by the mainstream media.
Good catch...working on the edit!
I make enough with MTH Software (http://www.mthbuilt.com) to not have a full time job. My sales are seasonal in nature, so I either need to scale down living expenses or to supplement with some consulting in the summer.
In fact, a lot of code does this to avoid mallocs. Just be sure to check the length before you put anything into the buffer.

Also, making it a power of 2 is a good idea if you are concerned about alignment.
My favorite sentence: "Since we don’t know the students are that are getting these boards we decided we needed to do some assembly and, because electronics bought in bulk are so cheap we threw in some LEDs, resistors, wires and a breadboard."

Why are writing skills so abysmal? I didn't go through any special writing classes, yet I manage to form relatively brilliant sentences compared to my peers. And this, yes is more than jsut a typo too. The sentence is just structured poorly from the onset, has commas in the wrong places and is missing commas.
Lack of foresight can kill you too...
You don't have to partake in any of that to be adversely affected by it.
In many cases, you will get better short-term results by drilling recipes or factoids than pursuing deep understanding, though the latter is far more valuable in the long run (and in early schooling, long is the only run that matters). There's too much trivia-memorizing in schools as it is.
pointers to structs for things like network protocols...

struct packet_header
{
uint from_addr;
uint to_addr;
ushort flags;

}

packet *p;

read(socket, somebuf, sizeof(packet));

p = &somebuf;

printf("from = %u to = %u flags = %u\n",p->from_addr, p->to_addr, p->flags);
A quick search comes up blank on that name.
Telegram has nice stickers.
Yeah, I can't imagine that scenario at all. In fact, Obama publicly refusing to attend Trump's inauguration would have probably been met with thunderous applause from the "not my president" crowd.
I’m confused about this and hope others can explain. My understanding is that the capital is not the jurisdiction of DC police but rather the Capitol police which is under the control of Congress. Am I misinformed about that?

I wish to remind everyone citing 1st Amendment that Jack Dorsey of the Twitter Party was not elected to Congress.
I believe one of the best explanations for the power of tiling WMs is "Tags are not workspaces"¹. It describes that beyond your way of working there is a parallel way which exists with no extra work.

I think this is also true for different layouts. You can happily work with simple equal size window layouts, but you can also have per-project or per-app layouts should you wish.

The software grows naturally with you, or if you prefer the other functionality just stays out of your way.

What a coincidence to see CRLF discussed in HN front page, this bit me just yesterday!

While using the aws cli tool on Linux (the Docker containerized version) with the "text" output format, it turns out each output line ends with CRLF ("\r\n") instead of simply LF ("\n") as is common for any Linux cli tool, so I had to add a post-process step in my commands to remove CRs (a chained call to tr -d '\r'). Otherwise, my bash variables would end up containing those pesky carriage returns, and debug logs would show up unexpectedly bizarre.

In retrospect it's obvious what happened, but it got me confused for a good while. Why would it output CRLF at all? Also of course, not a single mention of this in any of the docs I was reading.
It's important to understand that the way many people understand heritability usually isn't what most scientific researchers mean when they say "heritable."

> Heritability is an important concept in quantitative genetics, particularly in selective breeding and behavior genetics (for instance, twin studies). It is the source of much confusion due to the fact that its technical definition is different from its commonly-understood folk definition. Therefore, its use conveys the incorrect impression that behavioral traits are "inherited" or specifically passed down through the genes.

...

> Heritability measures the fraction of phenotype variability that can be attributed to genetic variation. This is not the same as saying that this fraction of an individual phenotype is caused by genetics. For example, it is incorrect to say that since the heritability of personality traits is about .6, that means that 60% of your personality is inherited from your parents and 40% comes from the environment. In addition, heritability can change without any genetic change occurring, such as when the environment starts contributing to more variation...High heritability of a trait, consequently, does not necessarily mean that the trait is not very susceptible to environmental influences. Heritability can also change as a result of changes in the environment, migration, inbreeding, or the way in which heritability itself is measured in the population under study. The heritability of a trait should not be interpreted as a measure of the extent to which said trait is genetically determined in an individual.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability
wouldn't that keep wages stagnant though. I see wages rising in SV.
I can certainly see this is the case for new languages intended to introduce new and paradigm shifting concepts.

To move the goalposts somewhat I primarily had languages like say Python, Elm, maybe Rust or Go, in mind. I haven't done Python in ages so this is probably an unfair judgement in light of tools like PyCharm but it still seems its supported use-case is text-mode script writing and the ecosystem is still lacking when it comes to large-scale application development. Yet it seems to be far more popular (on here and from a developer happiness standpoint) for application development versus languages which provide tools specialized for this (Java, Kotlin, C#, etc).
no one is acting surprised, they’re acting upset, and rightly
Massive increase in personal computer power (cloud or physical).

Internet and resources like stack overflow.

Back in the days, I remember the isolation.

First from the domain, we could only run part of the application or use unnaturally tiny dataset meaning that the application behaviour in prod was an abstract concept. Hell, we could not even build the app at all on large application.

Second from knowledge. If you didn't know something, you needed to pick a book and read or find someone who knew. Nowadays, with a few hours on the net, you can build enough of a working knowledge of a tech to at least know if it is worth the investment.
Thanks! I hope not but it's an option. I still have savings for a couple more months, which should be enough time to launch the 1.0 version I have in mind, I'll see how that goes first.

Cool! Agreed, although I do a lot of iteration in the code at later stages I find it useful for exploring different style options and setting a general design direction at the beginning. Indeed, it's much easier to not have to worry about design when you're on a coding mindset.
Using CouchDB on our team has been a pretty good experience; nothing like a nightmare.

We used replication on the native apps for offline mode, kept things simpler with online-only for our web app, and have had a very good time overall.

We are also using JSON schema for our CouchDB documents so we ensure we don't have all kinds of wild / wrong data showing up; if you had really hairy, unstructured data, I can see why a dynamic language might help with that bad situation, but for our use case, we were able to take advantage of the powerful replication built into CouchDB and get solid offline syncing for all of our native apps that also plays nicely with live updates in a web browser.
No comment on whether the $1M AUD goal is reasonable (other than you have to start where YOU are and don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good). But, since you mentioned your age and other posters are also commenting on it:

1. Ignore those who say "don't be so serious at 20." You're VERY WISE to consider the path that you're on: you're not going to magically become experienced when you reach a certain age, and it's a competitive job market, and brutally so for the younger and less experienced. You're facing the classic dilemma of how to get enough experience to be employable...one which I'm also struggling with and I'm older than you. I wonder if some of the "superstars" in your program had parents or older siblings who were in software, to provide them with "tribal knowledge" and connections.

Anyway, it's your life, and I commend you for examining its direction so that you can do something about it.

2. Consider reading "Seasons of a Man's Life" by Levinson. It starts very slowly, and is somewhat dated (life today is a little more flexible and fluid, but not that much), but it's an interesting guide to the different stages of adult life. Again, if you're like me, you had some idea of what was expected of you in childhood and teens (Prepare For University!), but not so much after that. It turns out that for most of us, life is both richer and less predictable than "secondary school, university, job, marriage, gold watch retirement, death."
It's not confusing if you know that, in the US, the average person doesn't think about buying a Motorola or HTC. They are buying their phone from Verizon, so it's up to Verizon to market them. That's why Verizon licensed the "Droid" TM.

HTC wouldn't be able to come out with a Droid 2 because that's Verizon's decision. The Droid 2 is coming out later this year, made by Motorola because that's the way Verizon wants it.

Could she not have said "blood sucking insect"?
Yea, how could 80 year old Ms non-Unicode-squiggle's parents have been so cruel and thoughtless that they didn't check the unicode spec before naming their child. Screw them and their lack of foresight and time machines.
It also tends to remove the inefficiencies of duplicated work as over the long haul, open source projects tend to merge and dominate, after a phase of intense competition between rival projects. This means software developers spend more time creating unique software, which is significantly more productive over re-implementing the same commodity software over again. This is REAL economic value. Just look at what the very mature GCC project has done for so many platform companies and developers in general. It's also much cheaper to procure open source software, because there's no purchase justification, budgeting, or sales process.

Even a privileged person should not think like that. When you are looking for a job, do you want a controversial political opinion from 10 years ago to get in the way? Ward Churchill learned this lesson the hard way:

> can anyone name one open core product that is really successfull?

Mysql? Was doing really well even among the OSS crowd until Oracle, and post Oracle still seems to be doing alright.

Postgresql while not traditionally open core, there are a couple of companies that employ core contributors that sell addons fairly similar to the way Mysql used to(maybe still does I haven't looked at Mysql in a while.)
Could you give an example of a constructive comment that was killed? While certainly there is a lot of optimism around what Elon is trying to do, I don't think that "I feel like I at a One Direction concert surrounding by a bunch of screaming teenage girls" is a reasonable reaction.
Is this a replacement for gist?
It is already there ... as long as the provider allows it.
_that_ is the death trap. You can download a file (and locally backup it), not a stream.

Well, yes, technically, we as tech savvy people could, but the commoners (not to say technophobics), they don't know how.

and that is how it is designed. You don't need backup, it's in the cloud. What happens when it is not anymore ?

It is not owning but rather preserving that is the concern. Is everything worth preserving though, I don't know.
I've always found a connection between brilliance and "yelling at cars on the side of the road." Take the good with the bad.
> First, when you're playing, you can hear incredibly tiny details that no one else can hear.

I wish people would learn music. it's such a weird thing. the amount of unheard details that comes to you, tone, rhythm, harmony, texture, syncopation... And even playing. I never played on live amps pushing back at me, but just driving a few guys sitting behind the drums is like voodoo. Owning time is mystical, as is losing it; seems like our mammalian brains have a direct feed.
Perhaps a better (yet still poor) analogy would be going into an Islam Mosque and telling them to install some crosses.

Or complaining that your baker won't make bagels because he's doesn't approve of using lye on human consumables.

> The fundamental issue is that for RMS (and perhaps you?), using software is like going to church and accepting the the moral code of whomever produced that software

RMS and the FSF are pretty lenient in this case (there are licenses which literally wrap the use of the software in a moral code); you have no need to accept his moral code when you use the software. His licensing (and moral code) only matter when you want to change the code and distribute those changes.

Fortunately for all of us, there are plenty of licenses, and plenty of tools which use licenses which better match the "free with no restrictions whatsoever" point of view.
This is what I don't like about this headline and study. It seems to conflate pretty easily iPads/tablets and "ereaders", because it doesn't look like they only tested e-ink ereaders, but "ebook readers", and many use iPads for reading ebooks. That's how they got the eye strain.
