I think they were just artistic flourishes added by the tracker groups, crackers, etc.

I think "Tracker" is the name for a service that keeps track of p2p links. Some trackers are/were extremely exclusive and tight-knit with interviews and quizes to get in. You also had to work hard to maintain an upload/download ratio. Some, like thepiratebay are open and simply highlight quality downloads.

What.CD was a legendary private tracker if you want to look further into it.
I believe Pud is on HN. He can perhaps provide the DistroKid response?
Ada does a great job in this regard. Using some examples in the article:

>> For example, say that you want to represent the number of books ordered. Instead of using an integer for this, define a class called Quantity. It contains an integer, but also ensures that the value is always between 1 and 240

The Ada code to implement this is:

type Quantity is new Integer range 1 .. 240;

>> instead of just using a string, define a class called UserName. It contains a string holding the user name, but also enforces all the domain rules for a valid user name. This can include minimum and maximum lengths, allowed characters etc.

The Ada code to implement this is:

with Ada.Strings.Bounded;
package UserName is new Ada.Strings.Bounded.Generic_Bounded_Length (Max => UserName_Max_Length);

Dynamic predicates or even a string subtype could be used to further refine the UserName definition depending on exactly what restrictions are needed.

While it's not perfect, Ada does make it pretty easy to specify constraints on data types and will complain loudly when the constraints are violated.
Proactively shutting things down and restricting freedoms are politically impossible to implement. There's no incentive for any single politician to do anything like this because if it actually worked there'd be no visibility to the general public and thus nobody would understand what they actually did.

It's like the proverbial secret goverment agency that stops a bomb from going off and nobody knows what they did.

In politics this mean that the general public would only see the downsides of such measures and not the gains. This would not get a single politician re-elected.

Therefore in terms of politics it's much better and safer to be reactive only rather than proactive. Later speech can include statements "we could not have possibly known", "there was no indication that...", "it was a complete surprise...", "we acted as quickly as possbile..."
I meant that most of the people who are not self-isolating are not jerks.

To convince them to participate in containment, their more responsible friends, family, and colleagues need to reach out, and more importantly we need to have consistent messaging from the government.
About friggin’ time...
Why can’t they survive by issuing corporate bonds?

And as far as I know this Fed policy isn’t to buy failing stock it’s to inject cash overall through treasury bonds, since the Fed isn’t allowed to buy stock.
It might be different since those were in public places, and not in shops.
Wait, you mean all my jokes about banning guns just leads to increased stabbings so they'll eventually have to ban knives has come true? Blimey!
That's the NSA's rationale too. Except often times a collection of data points that are supposedly "anonymous" can eventually be correlated to a specific person.

Battery life was talked about on the original Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/offpocket/off-pocket

I never ordered one as I missed the window of opportunity. But it was claimed by the creator and users that battery life was variable depending on the make and model of your phone, and whether you had lots of background apps attempting to do things.

The claim was that in some combinations you get better battery life by using Off Pocket, and with others you get worse.

Phones don't drain greatly when they don't have a signal. A day riding the tube system between meetings in London doesn't significantly affect my battery life, so I've no reason to believe that Off Pocket would've resulted in a different outcome.
I'm shocked that anyone would see arrest as a solution to this problem. Thats just great - 3 hots and a kot to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars a year. Great idea.
Why did POSIX disallow +options?
This also happens when there is a younger sibling who shares the bike.
That’s very interesting. My immediate reaction to the pandemic was less driving but by May ‘20 I too realized people will have to buy cars (outflow from urban areas and less public transit usage).
isn't that like throwin the baby out with the bath water? i've never had problems with duo mobile, but then i don't use FB so i've never seen how it behaves with FB. so dump FB, but why dump duo mobile?
Reminds me of 'English as She is Spoke', a 19th century Portuguese-english phrase book that was also an invented translation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_as_She_Is_Spoke
No, but I've had that feeling before. Stay strong and find something that gives your life a purpose. It could be anything as small as fixing an old car or getting better at reading and summarizing articles. Open a social media account and talk about your life's wisdom. You'll be surprised how many youngsters will listen to you. You have so much to offer that you have not even discovered yet.
I understand your point but I also think that no startup will be truly successful unless you are working on the startup because you want to and love what you do, not just because you have to, or because you want to get rich.
Although I don't have a Swiss Army knife myself, a buddy swears by it. He even breaks it out when we're just grabbing a bite to eat. Other restaurant patrons always cast sideways glances at him, but hey, at least he's able to open his bottle of beer. ;)
I'm sure atom will be fantastic for some people but I found it really started to chug when opening some of my larger files (as you would expect with a giant DOM). Hopefully performance improves as I liked the UI a lot.

Still, back to sublime for now...
I think ResearchGate is trying to fill this gap (and perhaps Academia too?).
It very much depends on the niche. Among C developers I would think vim does quite well. Among Java developers there is no vim usage to speak of.
I have to say I was of the opinion that Sublime was pretty much as good as it gets, but I've recently started using Webstorm and I am definitely impressed. I do think it is probably one of the best for JavaScript development IMHO.
The only way that affordable internet access is possible in any country is with explicit and complicit action from the government. You can't get everyone online if the government is run by a group of people who actively don't want it to happen. For example, if a government wants to stop its citizens accessing the web all they need to is make the necessary equipment illegal. When the price of being found with a satellite modem is 30 years in prison most people are going to forego internet access.

The sad thing is there are governments that not only have that sort of power but willingly use it.
I'm building an 8-bit microcomputer myself using the popular AtMega328p (basically and Arduino board), as an excuse to learn electronics. Turns out I'm mostly learning AVR stuff, because the MCU will do most of the work; but I digress.

What I love about this project is the keyboard. I'm using the "follow the standards" approach implementing PS2 protocol with a Mini-DIN-6 connector to use an standard PS2 keyboard, but turns out rewiring an existing keyboard could be a good option too (although I guess it depends on the keyboard type).

"Replicability" is a nice thing to have in this kind of project, but not really essential. Well done!
Heh, you could imagine Bitcoin HFT shops spinning up EC2 instances until they happen to get one close to Coinbase's.

(I don't know AWS networking well enough to know if this would make much of a difference, or even if the overhead of the HTTP API wouldn't make the difference negligible)
In addition to their always valid "because we can" this would also add another: revenge.
I think for many investors the large appeal of Tesla is in the batteries and infrastructure put in place for charge stations.
If it is validated perhaps advocates for change will be able to make the argument that we are literally running out of time and it will prove sufficiently engaging that 'skeptics' lose traction in trying and failing to refute it. I use scare quotes because many self-styled climate skeptics are not sincere inquirers after truth but rather shills for established economic interests.
Without really understanding much what is going on, this seems to be related:

> Your citations do not support the claim that "It's only a matter of months before Adblockers won't work anymore.".

Yes, I agree. I removed that part of my statement.

Still, the declarativeWebRequest API does not allow to filter out tracking-related headers from incoming responses or sent requests.

I mean, you cannot declare the rules via the RequestMatcher and know what headers are going to be sent or received in advance, as the API expects full declaration of all protocol schemes and host suffixes; which is very bad if a website can pretty much do whatever it wants when it executes js code.

> In fact, the very blog post you cite states that "There is not an exact date for removing support for Manifest V2 extensions" and has a quote from the Adblock Plus team, praising the collaboration with Chromium.

You know that eyeo GmbH were the ones with the "Acceptable Ads" initiative that are literally forcing websites to pay them money so that their ads continue to work, right? Personally, I would take their comment with a grain of salt.

For their whitelisting-ads use case the API works; for the use case of uBlock Origin et al - it doesn't.
For anyone wondering about the specifics:

You're just wrong about this. A democracy is the rule by the people. That's why the Declaration of Independence says rulers derive their just powers from the governed. Democracies aren't particularly good at ensuring a peaceful transition of power as history shows (just look at the Roman Republic). "Peaceful transition of power" is a phrase that's not even relevant to other forms of government where one administration rules indefinitely.

>The crowd is intensely stupid (as a vote on lockdown would certainly reveal)

Oh, thanks for admitting that lockdowns are undemocratic.
That's fair, and I hope I don't come across as crass or overly privileged, but the problem is still _what_ you are spending the money on. I could make $250k/year, budget to spend every penny, and still live paycheck-to-paycheck. That is a recipe for disaster for when a real emergency arises. Having an emergency fund is the #1 goal for personal finance, and reduces the severity of a lot of other issues like slightly overspending in a category one month.
The MVP I sold for over a year.
The interactions are totally real. Perhaps I'll change my landing page to reflect this.
An excellent point.

Alternatively, some customer pays an absurd amount of money to add Function X to the chip, and pays a premium to be the only customer who can use Function X.
Perhaps the measure should be "miles per dollar of fuel or charge", which would have to be averaged and could vary by region.

You are eventually going to forget most of what you read few years later. So to me, the extra effort in trying to "remember" a book seems pointless.

To me relational connection is more important that "remembering" a book. For instance if you can point out "x event" in a book I have read (if it is a particularly interesting part of the book), I can give you a gist of what that x event in the book was talking about and things related to that event. I can also recall similar events in other books I have read. However if you ask me to remember a "hard number" or "hard fact" I will most likely not recall it.

"Remembering" a book seems like ridiculously thing to do unless its a programming book or you are preparing for an exam in school or work related.

You tries to remember books in casual reading?
> I think people in Italy feel that the quarantine isn't working because it's not strong enough.

That's also because, in my view, those in power have no idea how to read the curves and the scale, and the fact that you have at least 10-14 days in lag before seeing any effect. Also, this is about growth, so the number of cases (and, unfortunately, deaths) will keep on increasing even with a perfect containment until it "burns out". Again, the powers that be, at least in their public statements, seem to have little to no understanding of this fact.

But they also prefer cherry picking those who don't follow the rules (or go with statements that can't be traced to the data itself).

What is needed most now is field hospitals, staff and protection equipment, because the system, again even assuming a perfect containment, will take at least a month to get relief from the pressure. But those, as opposed to quarantine measures, still go through bureaucracy (note for the non-Italian HN crowd: it's really hard to explain because it is something very peculiar of highly burocratized governments, and in some aspects, unique to my country).

Also this won't be able to go perfectly for more than a couple months at best, IMO. Let's not mention economy, for now, but isolation (despite the "reassuring" messages from the media) will start taking its toll sooner or later. We're at week 3 and for me (in Lombardia) I'm already starting to feel that. Not that I'm going to break quarantine, but if the period extends for too long, some may tempted to do so, with potentially bad effects.

>https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/fmgs93/governo...

Here's the latest reason you're wrong. It's a link to a tweet from the governor of NY. Same has been reported in multiple countries in Europe. When ventilators run out, even young people start dying. The death rate in Italy is already higher than 1-3%, especially if you calculate (num recovered)/(num recovered + num dead).

There are dozens of reasons not to trust the Chinese numbers - statistically perfect (Reg coeff>.999) quadratic growth curve, claims of all being well while pollution maps showed nationwide shutdown, admonishment and disappearance of whistleblowers, including doctors, scientists, billionaire tycoons, and activists...it's all been floating around the internet since January. Little of it is picked up by "official" sources because when a government shuts down any unapproved media in a nation without free speech, people can only leak through channels like WeChat screenshots, tweets and Twitter videos. But the rationale makes sense in addition to the wealth of circumstantial and empirical evidence.

An authoritarian, autocratic nation can only rule so long as the people are kept by respect and/or fear from revolting. That is why the CCP has a history of controlling narratives to save face. This is not unique to the CCP, which is an offshoot of the former CCCP which practiced the same manipulation for most of it's history.

The CCP spent two critical months trying to hide this from the world, and now we are all going to pay for it. Do not let their propaganda machine set the narrative. This is not a reflection on the Chinese people, their hands are tied by a self-preserving bureaucracy.
One thing I don't know is the level of utilization. For instance, are the mills running 3 shifts?
I could pull up pictures of police kneeling with BLM this summer.
They may be referring to the first statement, which in my experience doesn't seem true. I've never heard conservatives, Republicans, or Trump supporters argue for a one party state. That may be my failing, however.
this is good though
Afraid you're somewhat incorrect on the GNOME repos. I happen to be one of the org members for the GNOME org on github:

https://github.com/gnome

It isn't the primary, but it is very much an official mirror. GNOME and the FSF often disagree, even if RMS will have you think otherwise.
Yeah. Any boring money printing machine has to offer fatter salaries to attract talent because there is no other intrinsic appeal. Finance is just a particularly big one.

I might also add government, though you want to avoid lower-level contractor positions there and go for higher-end stuff or becoming a direct Federal employee. Also avoid sexy areas like space if your goal is to get rich, since these will have intense competition. This is part of why science pays so badly -- people want to do it.
I was responding to `go generate` as a subsitute for generics because that's what PopsiclePete was proposing.

But while we're at it, `go generate` as a substitute for lexer/parser generators is another example of Go being decades behind programming language research. C# and clang have both innovated a lot in this space by writing sophisticated functional parsers by hand using libraries which in C#s case is then exposed in the language. You could go even farther and look into combinator parsers.

Yet again Go ignores decades of programming language research.
Indeed. I wanted to switch to Google Drive a couple of times because cheaper storage. But the client is always slow and crashes regularly for me (without any notice).

Also, Google Drive misses some basic functionality, like getting an actual list of of shared folders and with whom they were shared [1]. Instead you have to check every folder manually.

Same here !

Microsoft's Onedrive has been surprisingly good for me - on Android as well.
I would caution that it's a fictional premise. Luck and marketing played a large role in the author's success which aren't reproducible. There may be some universal nuggets there, just take care.
Thanks for your comment. I'm also a computational biologist by training, but have never worked in the private sector.

I'm familiar with the idea of re-purposing drugs for rare disease treatments (most of my adjacent work has been in very early-stage academic research), but I'm curious about the financials here. Could some of the financial risk here be minimized by aggregating multiple groups of patients, all suffering from different rare diseases? From what I know about the process, the answer is yes, but I'd be curious to hear from somebody closer to the process.
My children need wine!
There was a similar submission 16 days ago: Automatic Ripping Machine (2016) (b3n.org) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30043497 ("Headless Blu-ray/DVD/CD Ripper")
The challenge is to prove you have something that works. Animal studies are helpful here. Because once you have something, you can partner with the big pharmaceutical co’s for the regulatory hurdles.
> a measurement 1 sigma from the prediction would mean that there is roughly a 84% chance that the measurement represented a deviation from the prediction and a 16% chance that it was just a statistical anomaly.

No, this is a p-value misinterpretation. Sigma has to do with the probability that, if the null hypothesis were true, the observed data would be generated. It does not reflect the probability that any hypothesis is true given the data.
Left wing totalitarianism is hard to distinguish from right wing totalitarianism.
Clicking around a bit, I ended up reading https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.08570.

It's describing an apparently faster way to identify prime numbers.

Looks pretty legit to me, but still, reading the website, there's something... not quite off, but still... quirky, in a way I can't put my finger on. :/

TL;DR, what do others think of this paper?
Does the order of the sections matter in the text format?

Been poking a bit here and there at a wasm binary parser and know in that format they're supposed be in order (with custom sections sprinkled wherever) but can't recall seeing anything about the text format order.
Someone will need to get ROCm on MacOS, or something like that.

God, I really hope AMD goes out of the deal with Apple as well. I'd rather people abandon macOS early than have to put up with Apple imposed implementations like Metal, HLS and Webkit.

At the end of the day, Apple should realize that having money alone does not make you , by any means, a popular company. It's the little things that make people sign up for Apple.
Yes changing the global template would involve regenerating all 100,000 pages in most static site generators. The only exception being those rare ones which offload template rendering to client side (there's a couple that I've seen). Still, some static site generators like Hugo, are built for bigger sites specifically by being able to generate massive amounts of pages very quickly. Even in your 100,000 page example a site probably would be completely rebuilt within a second or two.
I really wanted to do the opposite one day:

Part-out a car. The numbers actually looked pretty good. Not for the hours, but I would learn about every part of a car, outside-in while making money.

I think there’s a sweetspot for parting out though: probably 5 year old cars because they are worth repairing. May 6-8 year old cars for more luxury models.
Lacre Void é um sistema que protege produtos em forma de etiqueta adesiva tipo lacre. Quando o lacre void é violado, aparecerá escrito a palavra VOID tanto na superfície lacrada quanto no próprio lacre na maioria dos modelos. Usado normalmente de forma direta nos produtos para que proteja de aberturas indevidas durante a vigência da garantia. Quando for colocar na embalagem em vez no produto é usado neste caso outro tipo de lacre: lacre destrutível. Vende-se a etiqueta lacre void com as seguintes opções: lisa sem impressão ou personalizada com o impresso a critério do cliente.

A impressão personalizada no lacre de segurança ajudará bastante a evitar a clonagem dos mesmos. Por exemplo, se você compra um lacre genérico vendido pronto e tem apenas os dizeres "lacre não remova" ou algo parecido, saiba que, quem quer violar seus produtos também tem acesso a este mesmo lacre e poderá fazer a mesma compra. O melhor a fazer é solicitar o lacre personalizado e colocar além dos seus dados também uma numeração sequencial. Colocar um QR code é uma ótima opção pois seu lacre, além de proteger, vai servir como uma etiqueta de divulgação pois levará o comprador ao seu site, telefone ou até contato direto via whatsapp da sua empresa.

Normalmente temos sendo oferecidos no mercado dois tipos de lacre de garantia que são os de qualidade superior e os de qualidade duvidosa. A diferença de valores de um lacre de segurança simples de qualidade duvidosa e outro de qualidade superior é pouca.
