Why is anyone surprised? The house always wins. Always.
I love HN and it works well for me, even on mobile and I'm seriously handicapped, including visually impaired.

It's also got known accessibility issues, including for people who are blind or otherwise more visually impaired than I am.

The lead mod has acknowledged this in comments.
A physical printer (like a dot-matrix one) couldn’t care less whether you told it to CR LF or to LF CR, you’ll end up at the start of the next line either way; neither does a terminal emulator, nornally (but mind the generic kernel terminal driver in between, which normally has the onlcr knob turned on). Apparently some systems even used LF CR as the line terminator. (Bare CR is more well-known, having been used by classic Mac OS, and also makes a bit of sense if you remember the parallel port had an AutoLF line that instructed the attached printer to translate CR to CR LF. I don’t know if that is the actual reason for the convention.)

The caveat is that advancing the paper vertically is relatively fast, but backing up the carriage[1] horizontally can take some time, so on a dumb and slow printer LF CR abc might end up printing abc in the wrong place while the carriage is still moving backwards, while on a smart but slow printer it will just be slower than CR LF abc. I suspect the dumb part is the origin of the CR NUL convention in Net-ASCII[2]; at least both termcap (dC capability) and terminfo (padding machinery) can describe, and curses handles, the possibility that the terminal requires a delay between issuing a CR and printing new characters at the beginning of the line.

[1] It’s a carriage, as in a moving thing that contains useful stuff (cf 3D printers), not a carrier, as in a bare unmodulated signal (cf modems).

[2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc20, which probably takes the prize as the lowest-numbered RFC you could still encounter as an up-to-date reference.
There's no need for conspiracy theories about adding delays. CR and LF were just separate functions and it's useful for them to be separate. CRT terminals (or emulations thereof) still work the same way. You have to send CR and LF to a VT100 to get the cursor to both move to the left margin and then go to the next line down.

The Unix stty command lets you set cr0/1/2/3 modes for inserting NUL characters after a CR for exactly this reason, to give the carriage time to return on your printing terminal.

10 of the 13 posts I have vouched for are no longer dead. I wonder if I singlehandedly resurrected those or many people vouched?
That’s interesting. I find it very much a “personal” device. There would be a daily battle in my household if we only had one.

However, I wonder if you could use the new focus feature to sort of mimic multiuser. Not so much with data, but perhaps controlling apps for kids?
I'm beyond puzzled. The multiple COVID vaccines weren't developed so quickly because of competition. They were developed by an unprecedented worldwide effort and government support.
Thank you for the link. I'm watching it now, thanks to you.
Yes, just the job to help them clamp down on leaks. :)
The other big problem with healthcare is the opaque nest of regulation, data privacy laws, physician buy-in, retail distribution, insurance coverage, and myriad other challenges that get in the way of good design.

There is an elephant's graveyard of cool medical concepts, products, and initiatives that have died because they didn't factor in the realities of medical product design and instead focused on disruptive UI/Business Model/etc.

My company is working on a competitive product (http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662351/blood-glucose-monitor-fo...) so I know how much of a challenge it can be. Good luck to them, the health market needs energy, hopefully they will expend it in the right directions.
What a terrible article. The author bought a Mac, expected it to work exactly like a Windows PC, and then returned it when it didn't. Somehow this is Apple's fault. Some choice bits:

TextEdit, essentially a stripped-down version of Notepad.
The program had an excellent array of font options, like
"Bigger" and "Smaller."

Does Notepad have fonts at all? And, who uses Textedit as a Word processor? Does he use Notepad as a word processor?

I began to miss my old, five-button mouse.

So plug it in. OSX supports USB mice just like anything else, out of the box. I've never understood people who complain about this.

unlike a PC, the Mac wouldn't let me move files to and
from my external drive, only copy them.

I don't even know where to begin.

The final straw came when Mac's Firefox took me to my
website. To my horror, all the spacing was askew, the
graphics tossed left and right like the wreckage of a
hurricane.

And this is Apple's fault... How?

I can understand the guy writing this, but I can't understand his boss agreeing to publish it.
Others have mentioned the media uploads before, that's definitely the killer feature.

The other great thing is the lack of censorship. Vkontakte doesn't censor posts and doesn't have Facebook's policy of selectively banning links to outside websites.

You can't post a picture of a titty on your FB wall without the Facebook Nazis coming down with threats on you. Vkontakte doesn't ban adult content or adult-related groups.

The two things they do actively fight against are spammers and pedophiles.

About respecting copyright law, Facebook does nothing about people posting stolen photographs. It's just more socially acceptable to pirate those.

The other thing about Vkontakte is it's very popular with CIS diaspora and exchange student communities abroad. Lots of people keep accounts in both Facebook and Vkontakte, but the latter gets used more for things like organizing social outings and events.
Also, in case no one connected the dots, Silverpop Inc was the compromised party for both this and the McDonalds incident yesterday. They recently pushed password resets and new login procedures for their clients so presumably a lot more people got affected.
A big "Aha" moment for me was that I could just grep the big scary tar.gz source code of a project. (And that the big scary tar.gz wasn't that scary)

Before that moment, I had to post a question to the project's forum or submit a bug report if I had a problem with a project. Then one day, all of a sudden, I realized I could just go ahead and grep the source myself and that the source wasn't scary. I realized that not only could I look at the code myself, but also that I had enough skills in general that I could follow along with other people's code.

Essentially, my "Aha" moment was actually exercising Freedom 1 from the four essential freedoms of free software.
Thanks, bro. Reading this made my day. You're awesome for standing up for your friend and giving hope to strangers like me on the internet. With some luck, we'll get through this. My only consolation right now is that I'm not going through this alone. :)
I want to stick to the common meaning of 'disabuse.' That sounds like a good problem worth solving, though.
> "Why?"

A few reasons I'm not their biggest fan:

* I have no choice in my area.

* Comcast costs more, for less, than it does in neighboring towns where they compete. The brashness and sheer monetary disconnect between what they charge when they compete and what they charge when they don't casts a certain light on the rest of their shenanigans. (approximately 50%)

* I can't get a residential cable internet package without paying more than if I got cable internet and television service.

* They moved essentially all the popular cable channels out of the 'basic' television package during the DTV switch, under the auspices of people needing their digital set-top box anyway. Except that's a lie and they know it. It was just a convenient excuse for them to push popular channels into a higher-priced package. Channels that, conspicuously, are still basic in neighboring towns where they compete.

* CableCARD nonsense. I never got a working card from them. The cards they're legally required to provide upon request. So a newer TIVO wasn't an option. And every conversation regarding the CableCARD involved a sales pitch to just get their (ad-bearing, convoluted monstrosity of a) DVR.

* Their backwards router policies from yesteryear: when they would lie to, threaten and refuse service to their customers, because they didn't feel like providing the service they were advertising (an internet connection), but rather the service they felt like providing (an internet connection to a single Windows PC.)

* The bandwidth caps and (more troubling) their inconsistent enforcement.

* Their traffic 'shaping'. AKA screwing up my ISO downloads because they're on an anal quest to outmaneuver people they refuse to simply cut off or charge more. They just up and decided that they could 'shape' my traffic to not only prevent it from harming their network, but that they could 'shape' my traffic to prevent someone else from harming their network. (If I'm not in their 'extreme downloaders' demographic, why is my traffic getting molested?)

* They decided to change their shaping policy without telling anyone. And to add insult to injury, they then denied doing what they were quite clearly doing for months.

* And what were they doing? Effectively impersonating my devices. If they want to delay or throttle a stream, that's fine. But inserting data into the stream as if that data came from my devices? That is not OK. That is a violation of the trust principles the damn network is built on.

* The DNS ads. I mean, really? Intercepting and perverting standard protocols to show ads? Incredible weak-sauce. It essentially removes "DNS lookup" as a service their subscription price pays for.

And that list is by no means exhaustive.

I think this is an increasingly more interesting and useful space. Have you thought about metrics specific to types of startups? For example, a SaaS startup would be most interested in churn and customer lifetime value, but a consumer web app would most likely care about activity, retention, and how frequently users come back to the site.
In some companies, HR looks at the previous salary to approve an offer. You can convince them that the employee is worth it, but you have to have a good justification and it will probably involve approval by higher execs.

You also have to compare the offer to what other employees in the same position in the company are making. If the offer is too different it will also require further justification.
In Houston TX, 80-100k for a job is pretty much a given if you can write code. .NET, Java and even PHP jobs easily pay that here, >5yrs experience can/will get you above that range.(sometimes by a large margin)

Yes, this is not an entry level salary, but its easily attainable in 5 years if you are someone that is attracted to a site like this. From the limited experience I have seen, its not uncommon anywhere in Texas or a large part of the US. I have seen some exceptions in Oregon(Portland had a bunch of 65-75k "senior" developer jobs when I looked into that city and North Carolina seems to have a strangely low market average)

I know that not everyone here is a developer or even technical but seems that those that aren't are more entrepreneurial which could lead to far higher pay when you get it right.
Sure, in general. In this case managers were fairly familiar with her and the teams and posited that the success was due to what she added to team discussions. I think they were probably correct.

OTOH, having a project success divining rod could have its own value.
Any idea about Windows? Because it seems it doesn't even let you manage network settings by location like OSX does...
You are assuming they are all new positions, when we know that fast food has extremely high turnover. Just putting in a two-week hiring freeze in advance of the date would probably generate a huge number of open jobs.
One thing to think about here is that US electoral system practically counts different peoples votes differently. A voter in Georgia mattered a lot more than a voter in California or Wyoming. Small polling errors in either state are inconsequential, but hugely consequential in Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, etc. Lots of polls are national polls, not state polls too. As it happens, the average of national polls predicted the vote totals overall very well. But that doesn't matter. Because it still came down to a few thousands of voters in a handful of states.
If by open hardware you mean open source chip then yes but I’m not sure that 1. that’s a big advantage for users or 2. going to happen at the leading edge of CPU design where most of us actually do our computing. It takes real money to design and test a high performance CPU and (even for RISC-V) an open source ISA does not mean an open source chip.
You'd do a lot better with one strong example rather than seven weak examples.

For instance, if you are interested in Bayes Theorem like a lot of rationalists say they are, you could talk about the medical test which is 99.99% accurate but for which 90% of the positives are false positives.
Can you use it for deep packet inspection process?
Yeah -- It reads like they didn't have the evidence to prove they hacked Bitfinex, but plenty of evidence they're the only ones that moved the hacked funds. Hence the lack of CFAA or other charges in favor of money laundering ConFraudUS.
Well, I've sold a few pieces (not for megabucks). I also don't feel at all "snooty" about it, as it's been a long time, since I did any real art. I have had training, but I have family that has far more training than I. My wife is a very good photographer and watercolor artist. She is also more in touch with the structure of the art community, than I am (I went geek).

It does, however, give me some insight into the community and mindset.

> Enjoyment of visual art is entirely subjective, you like it or you don't, but it's still art.

100% agree.

In my heyday[0], I was actually considering becoming a professional artist, but I knew that there are a ton of folks out there, that could blow me away, and didn't have programming to fall back on, so I went geek.

I used to get sneered at a lot. Fantasy art isn't really considered "art."

[0] http://littlegreenviper.com/art (I did these in the late 1980s. There's a bunch more, and I might end up putting more of them up there. My FB page has them. Feel free to judge whether or not I qualify as "artist." I couldn't do this again, right now. I'm out of practice).
but everyone I know who uses one complains that
RAM limitations come up fairly quickly with all
of these devices

Everyone?

The initial 2020 M1 machines maxxed out at 16GB; however the 2021 M1 Macbook Pros are configurable with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB.

I'm not sure what to make of "RAM limitations come up fairly quickly." 16GB configs haven't been a problem for developers at any of the shops where I've spent time in recent years. Places where developers were not shy about complaining. Of course, I recognize that lots of workloads do require more! Working with big data, video work, etc.

My problem with the 16GB limit was more theoretical. If I'm shelling out $2-$3K for a machine, I'd like a more future-proof amount of RAM.
There was no hard censorship of the lab leak theory. It was posted everywhere, including here on HN I'm sure.
Wish I could tell you exactly what I was doing at the time, but I don't remember :( I only remember I was entering guesses as fast as possible even while the slow return animations were going on, maybe it has something to do with that.
That is the point though, the #1 Fallacies of Distributed Computing: The network is reliable.

There is no such thing as a well designed and maintained LAN. All networks are unreliable.
I can explain it, but don't consider my explanation authoritative, or for that matter accurate. The problem is the format of your writing. It's essentially indicating low quality content and is using link bait titles. --I know this is not a very nice thing to say, but it is not intended as an insult, and there's very good reason to say it...

http://paulgraham.com/nthings.html

Additionally, you should reread the guidelines for hacker news:

http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

The problem you face is if you get flagged by enough HN users for violating the guidelines, the site gets automatically black listed.
It'd be nice if you got into the details of integrating a themeforest theme with an existing code base.

Honestly, it's pretty simple: you have the HTML for each page that is demonstrated. Chop out the relevant bits for headers, footers, and then any tables etc. that you might need, copy across the various css, js and images directories and you're done! It really doesn't take long. Sometimes the themes come with PHP versions as well, but not always.

If you want to test yourself, why not try downloading an open source theme (e.g. http://www.oswd.org/) and take a look at what's in the HTML? I can't guarantee it'll be an identical process, but it should be fairly similar :)
