I find it interesting for a different reason. At the risk of sounding like these fake news peddlers, I see the problem like this:

BULLSHIT SCALE
|[------]----------[---------------]-->
| | | |

| news publications |

as close to truth
as one could get

That is, "fake news" is only a little bit worse than the stuff mainstream news publishes. It's different only because it dares to make that one extra step, cross the line and detach completely from reality. The goal of both is the same anyway - to drive ad impressions. To me, news publications writing about fake news is like pickpockets getting all outraged about muggers, who don't engage in the fine arts of trickery, and instead just hit their victim and take their wallet. They're just angry because they have competition.

And I don't buy the argument that the contents of news is just innocent bias, and that everyone has one; when one publication makes a square look like a circle, and another makes it look like triangle, then that's taking it a bit too far.

Evidence for my view is evident if you add up all the little things HN readers encounter regularly. For instance, it's a rare news article posted on HN (or in other relevant communities frequented by experts) that doesn't get thoroughly ripped apart when someone posts the original source behind it, or when someone who knows the topic first-hand or second-hand chimes in. Gell-Mann amnesia is a known phenomenon. The fact that you should always review articles quoting you prior to publications because journalists will misquote you, making you look like you believe the opposite of what you do, is a well-ingrained cultural meme, speaking to the ubiquity of the problem. Etc.

> I would be pretty happy if someone came along, took the super extensibility of emacs (which at first glance atom appears to do) and spun up a sexy, modern, not-lisp-using alternative.

That's the other factor. At what point do you decide it's gained enough and make sure to cash in?

How many people have the discipline to buy something at $1,000 then watch it increase to $5,000 and not sell if it starts to come back down? Now imagine when it went to $20,000 previously and then back down to $6,000.

There's nothing wrong with cashing out. Can't go broke taking a profit.
I wonder why they vanished immediately. When 3.5" disks came out, didn't people have data on 5.25" disks they wanted to continue to access for a while? I would have thought they'd be kept around as second drives on newer computers of the time for at least a few years.
Twitter should be closed down

It probably can't be closed down in a way that's not even worse than current situation. Even if there's no coercion and management just has the revelation and decides to close shop, some (probably Chinese-owned) clone will probably reach the same position soon, what's the win?
It's this new frontend craze of putting artificial loading bars as a placebo effect. Github does it, for example. The site is just really slow, and the status bars are rarely, if ever, hooked up to the actual loading metrics.
In the first video a bunch of cars are crowded in one lane of the double lane road (a problem that plagues much of the traffic in the game)
If that syncing is done through Plaid (or maybe even if not), it might be fixed now. I use a similar product, Lunch Money, and syncing didn't work for a long time but within the past month it became possible.
Hey. You’re being a jerk. It’s making me mad. But let me see if I can help you understand.

Hyperfocus in ADHD doesn’t have to be about the focus being rewarding. It can be about the reward of getting the unrewarded thing out of the way. The exact opposite of what you’re describing, and what you might perceive as a “work ethic”, but totally absent any kind of time allotment or sunk cost analysis.

We can get hung up on something so displeasing to deal with that we cannot get it out of our heads, no matter how insignificant the resolution, and not let it go. For days, weeks, months. I’ve been through a fairly severe stretch of this recently. I hated every minute I couldn’t break out of it. But I couldn’t walk away and let the thing be unfinished, even knowing the “reward” at the end would be totally meaningless to me and the whole world.

I would even tell myself at the beginning of my day I was going to abandon these things. But I couldn’t do anything else! Things I wanted to do that I would enjoy more!
Well, maybe you were on to something-- your thoughts inspired me to think about this a little more- we just need a unique salt only the user would know.
Slide #21: "Bert Belder is the man behind enemy lines doing the Windows work. We need more help."

After he spent 2 years on this project with great success, how come you suddenly know better than him what he should or shouldn't do next?

Breaking into Windows on a solid, non-hacky basis will be crucial to bring NodeJS to the next level. As some other poster said, this will further enlarge the node community and result in even more/better/faster utilities, libs, fixes etc.

Look at it this way, Enterprises are stuck on Windows and their devs don't have a choice about that... but they can influence the development platform that their upcoming projects will run on. Many of those will be highly tempted to break out of the ASP.NET routine. Maybe server-side JS for most is just a shiny toy... maybe they don't "get non-blocking IO" or will resort to old learned threading/concurrency patterns when they shouldn't... but who cares?

Also think about server-side products. FogBugz, HelpSpot, SharePoint ... all provided not just hosted on the cloud but often requested to be installable by admins locally or in a private company-owned/hosted "cloud". Basing future products in those categories on NodeJS will require smooth Windows support to achieve wider acceptance and adoption.

You cannot tell enterprises to change their corporation-wide OS policy... but if you can run your stuff on it, you don't have to embrace the whole rest of the MS stack, they don't care about that one bit.

In what scenarios can they not do that in the post-iOS 4 world?
why is this getting downvoted? taxes maintain aggregate demand for dollars, this is not controversial. spending hasn't been a function of taxation since before WW2.
Or maybe you are expecting one context and the author is using a different one. This is quite likely given the author (a well known hacker, and having worked in particular on this exact problem through his project codeville)
And from the company that makes the engine, lots of white papers and tech goodness: http://publications.dice.se/
Same in vehicles. Another factor: lots of people simply prefer to face forward.
I’m down for the years to be counted from the storming of the Bastille, personally...
Rumour has it that they're planning to bring back all the ports in the next version, and that they'll be an 12-core version. Personally I'm waiting for that (but then I already have a 2015 model, so I'm in a good position).
It was also such a fast-moving era that your 486 would get crushed in a couple years by the arrival of Pentiums.

I still regularly use a 2012 laptop, but if you were using a 9-year-old PC back in 1991, it would be a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088, or something like a Commodore 64.
Yeah. Couldn’t find it. As always, the fastest way to get a correct answer to a question is to post an incorrect one. Thanks.
Unfortunately no.

IIRC, all "RequireComponent" does is allow you to omit the "add(object, B)" when you "add(object, A)".

A simple example of this is when you add A to the object, then edit A to require B. The Unity Editor won't add B automatically (which is in fact a pain).

NB: removing A will not remove B, and B won't be replaced if it existed before.

I usually use "RequireComponent" whenever I have a "GetComponent<...>()" in my behaviour just to make sure I have an initialized value.
What exactly is it you don’t like?
I think odds are strong Finney was a big possibility in the SN guessing game.

A single entity or group of entities keeping the faith this long and not busting open the SN wallet w/ all those btc's is an insane commitment to values. I'm not sure someone could really pull that off. And, short of something like a multisig key for that wallet was held between a few core folks, of which Finney held a key (DNS root servers works like this at ICANN I believe), I'm not sure a group of people could hold strong for this long, given the price rises.
Now it’s all coming back to me. I remember it half supporting in-house pip repositories but not quite
The nonpartisan approach would be a carbon tax along with paying higher prices for energy that provides guarantees that it won’t be interrupted during a cold spell.

Then the research should center on how high the carbon tax should be and how much higher prices Texas is willing to pay for frost hardened energy.

Unfortunately both sides are playing partisan politics and try to tilt the playing field.
This is the crux of the problem. In the organizations I have worked at, there were job positions for "business apps developers". Those people would make quick and dirty apps using whatever they can find (Excel, VBA, Windows Forms, etc.). They would have very little programming experience but would manage to bootstrap enough knowledge to get shit done. My view is that these people want web-based apps, but they struggle with html/css/test/deploy. Problem is these people are usually fine with what they already have.

In other organizations, such roles don't exist because it's too expensive to make business apps, and they don't want shitty solutions. It's a little hard to find how to put the foot in the door.
Posted this site because I have been browsing Github for database design ideas, for applications similar to the one I am building. Without reinventing the wheel (or missing common use-cases), I have already come across lots of ideas I would not have thought of (especially ones which would help make the system more extensible in the future, because in general, I was looking at more mature projects, who have already been through a few schema redesigns)

Idea:
I would like to see a site (similar to this) which lists common application domains, and lists relevant data models for each, along with use-case, ERDs with annotations, description of the intent. And, "Stackoverflow" style, it would be interesting to see models voted up, if they were particularly useful, extensible, and so on.

Example would be a "blog" use case, and then show the default data model for Wordpress, Drupal, or other popular applications. In each example, we could see a graphical ERD, with notes ("This M2M field allows us to keep all revisions of a blog post" or "Each blog post can have multiple categories").

Relatedly, having a Gist-like ERD tool which supports annotations & feedback would be helpful too, for realtime collaboration in IRC. Example: "I am designing an calendar event system for my application, which needs to support views like "Show me all events containing 'change requests of X type"; How would I model the tables & relations?"

If anyone has come across a tool like any of these, would love to hear about it!
"They're patriots"

This is the same argument Obama tried to use with Abbvie while trying to block their takeover of shire for tax purposes. He used the phrase "economic patriotism".

But in the end the government had to go with a more mundane solution and reward Abbvie 100% of contracts for their new hepatitis drug with Medicare rather than give split the cohtract with gilead.

My point - look for some large government contracts with apple and google in exchange for dropping encryption on their platforms.
The extended quotation is:

When Hinton’s group tested this model, it had the benefit of something unavailable at the time neural nets were first conceived — super fast GPUs (Graphic Processing Units). Though those chips were designed to churn out the formulae for advanced graphics, they were also ideal for the calculations required in neural nets. Hinton bought a bunch of GPUs for his lab and got two students to operate the system. They ran a test to see if they could get the neural network to recognize phonemes in speech. This, of course, was a task that many technology companies — certainly including Google — had been trying to master. Since speech was going to be the input in the coming age of mobile, computers simply had to learn to listen better.

How did it do?

“They got dramatic results,” says Hinton. “Their very first results were about as good as the state of the art that had been fine-tuned for 30 years, and it was clear that if we could get results that good on the first serious try, we were going to end up getting much better results.” Over the next few years, the Hinton team made additional serious tries. By the time they published their results, the system, says Hinton, had matched the best performance of the existing commercial models. “The point is, this was done by two students in a lab,” he says.

I'm not sure how you're drawing a conclusion other than "GPUs performed this task extremely well given the resources put into optimizing their performance."
speaking of openbsd. I didnt see any follow up on presumably fbi backdoor. Does anyone know whats going on?
Yep, it's not the Chrome version. It works fine for me using Chrome 10.0.648.204.
I don't see why that would make any difference. It certainly won't make HarperCollins back down from their stance.

EDIT: Well, that might not be true about HC. But libraries would hit their limit a hell of a lot faster with Kindle users added to the mix, so they'll be really motivated to continue boycotting HC's e-books.
I would just like to explain my reasoning behind posting this in case anyone thought it was a simple karma boost or an irrelevant post. I am a system administrator in a company which uses mysql 5.0.x as its primary data store. He are heavily reliant upon the relational database and use the rich features that mysql provides like triggers, procs, functions and temporary tables. Part of my job is backups and hot standby. Some of these mysql features impose real problems with replication especially in version 5.0.x with statement based replication. Its led us down many paths to fix the problem, even to a point of research mysql proxy and drdb. I found percona's xtrabackup which provides incremental snapshots and goes beyond just looking at the binary logs. Its actually looking and mysql's log sequence numbers which are used to maintain save points. These are crucial in innodb crashes and its part of what percona use to get you back into a running state. This is the closest we've come to easily getting something thats upto date, yes its not going to beat replication but its the best we can do with the constraints we are under.
Put the quotes around DND... It was mostly unimportant mostly already public do not distribute data but you can't be sure what was actually on the laptop. NOFORN would be a good exact version.

This was also years ago, and for obvious reasons I don't want to be more exact.
It's a bit silly to link directly to something that doesn't support your claims. You'd be more persuasive by having no links at all.
Seems like the kind of expendable person they might send for what is basically a smash-and-grab.

How undercover does he need to be if American citizens are openly planning online to storm the Capitol? He just needs to wear a MAGA hat and walk in with them.

Ok, probably not a spy, but who knows?
There's a lot of effort being put forward to extract data from unstructured reports, with some pretty nice results from what I've seen. Convincing every doc to use this type of format is likely to be impossible.
I have a different idea, it could be the global warming. A lot of snow and ice melt and flow down from the mountains in to the ocean. So a lot of mass does come a bit closer to the center and would it make it more fast.

And wasn't lately not also something with the magnetic field?
Hint: the intolerant people are the ones violently storming the Capitol because their guy didn't get elected. That's the actual "dictatorship" threat.

"Democracy" is when the person with the most electoral votes assumes office on Jan 20th. The US is a democracy, and Biden is your next President.

hardcore leftists weren't using twitter and other platforms to incite violence?
Your replies are a classic case of “moving goalposts”, which only aim to further the notion that Britain must be praised for their anti-slavery efforts. Simultaneously downplaying slavery and modern colonialism, you are pursuing this argument without acknowledging the concept that the enslaved see the world differently than their /glorious/ enslavers. Anyways, since you fail to address the original discussion, I’ll end this thread as it will gain me nothing.
Their webapp isn't exactly the greatest creation too, I feel sorry for the poor little servers that run that site.
I remember when it used to be called Black and Gold because those were the colours of the homebrand brand for Foodland.

As a kid I always hated having to buy that particular brand because it indicated to everyone that we weren’t able to afford “real” brands. (I’ve thankfully grown out of this mentality. Even now that I’m earning the most I ever have in my life I still try to stick to homebrand as much as possible)
Call me stupid, but I am curious to know if Bitcoin or distributed ledgers became large enough and large banks decided to spend big $$ in purchasing mining rigs could they not hold a significant amount of that particular coin.

Also, how does borrowing and interest work with something like Bitcoin or other distributed ledgers?
So maybe have a typical address form and add a checkbox labelled "My address doesn't fit the required format" that would replace your usual form with a freeform text field?

Hi there, I am muzamil sofi. I am a Software Developer specialized in Web Technologies and Nodejs and the love child of these two i.e Electronjs. I like to work on interesting and challenging projects in JavaScript/TypeScript and believe in Web-based future of Software development. I have used many Technologies in JavaScript ecosystem and can achieve any task in it, traditionally done in Native Desktop/App development only.

Over the years I have have worked with many clients as Software Consultant and Developer and also contributed heavily to open source. I prefer to work on contract based projects, but am open to good full-time Remote offers also.

Thanks
Just because the US/AU/UK/Can are better places to live than Russia, China, N. Korea, or most of Africa doesn't mean we should allow the stuff Western governments are pulling to slide. I don't know if the countries that are orders of magnitude worse than the Western governments were always that way, but my guess would be that they were, at one point, not so bad, relatively. It was likely a slow path that led them to decline to the point they have today. I don't want to see my government go down the same path.
Haha, thanks! Sorry if the title wasn't clear. Out of curiosity I tried searching on Google Image for "medical user interface" and was somewhat disappointed with the results.
I know non-technical founders get a lot of flak on HN, but working with one, if you're looking to build a track record, can be a great learning experience.

If you limit your involvement to building prototypes (Android, iPhone, RoR) , you can get a good feel for the nature of working with requirements and deadlines, as well as picking up incidental knowledge specific to a platform that will make you a standout candidate.
I really don't know how to conceptualize such audacious malfeasance. How do societies heal wounds like this?
One thing I always say to myself when I start to really rail on the US/AU/UK/Can etc is that they are still orders of magnitude better places to live than Russia, China or other places of the sort.

Or so the story goes, anyway, since we only hear one side.
I've heard - though nothing more substantial than rumor, it seems like it could be true - that some pirates had modified their PS3s to sign in to PSN dev channels, and then hacked the dev channels to pirate games via direct download from PSN. Although not directly related, some of that would have been facilitated by GeoHot's publishing of the signing keys for PS3 binaries.
As another anecdotal data point, I have had f.lux working fine for months with 3 monitors on my Mac Pro (running the latest version of Mac OS X).
Sorry for the shaky camera.
Why don't you just call it Thailand? That's what most people call it.
You make a number of very valid points. When a program is distributed without its source code, users don't have as much control as they would otherwise. Internet censorship is on the rise and presents a serious and credible threat to society.

open source != free software, but RMS was definitely talking about both

Yikes. I was going to reply this is my biggest question/concern.

Cap Gains on btc profit is crazy insane. I guess it's offset if value increases 100% since you bought - but that's still a big tax tax on anything you buy.

Maybe you can get lucky and set some type of tax advantage first in first out during down swings to take a loss?
Embedded databases where the db is a single file are the bomb.

We build several products in Java using H2 as our database. What a pleasure. Full SQL support, zero configuration/installation/etc.

Just copy data-files/dbs around using normal file tools.

Just start up one process and your app is ready.
In some extreme cases they can go up to ~20. But after 25, it becomes really a corner case.
Unfortunately, no. Litestream uses the SQLite API for locking and state but reads the WAL file from disk.
> Yep, the Spark codebase is a great example of what a big Scala codebase should look like.

A lot of the hardcore Scala community hates Spark which sort of summarizes the situation.
Seems so. You can hide both sidebars in the main window by resizing them smaller, hiding icons in the toolbar is also possible.
