It's insanely cool to see a non-IM use case built out on top of Matrix appearing (almost) out of the blue - congratulations :)

The implementation currently freestyles a bit on the event format for the messages, which is somewhat our fault on the Matrix team for running horrifically late on MSC1767 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/matthew/msc176...) which proposes how to do rich custom event formats (e.g. blog posts) which are still renderable and visible to more generic Matrix clients (e.g. Element). As a result, if you join a Hummingbard conversation via another Matrix client currently you can't see all the messages (or vice versa). However am hoping that Hummingbard might be a trailblazer for actually exercising MSC1767 in the wild and knocking it into shape, which would hugely benefit the whole Matrix ecosystem :)

In terms of licenses, it depend on how you want the project to be used. If you want folks to run it for personal use as a decentralised social network, I'd personally go GPLv3 or AGPLv3. If you want commercial folks to be able to build on it too, then Apache is probably the best bet. copyleft + proprietary dual licensing is another option, but means you'd need any contributors to agree to the dual licensing (could be tricky), and could be seen as not being in the spirit of the GPL. that said, IANAL, YMMV.

(At the risk of going somewhat off topic, another exciting Matrix client also appeared today: https://github.com/pixlwave/Watch-The-Matrix - the first native Matrix client for Apple Watch. https://youtu.be/Jh9iewrBdGQ)
This is Facebook’s narrative, but if Facebook makes a bit less money, how exactly does that “shift everyone to a paid App model”? Facebook’s annual net profit is an 11-digit number. Apple’s move is bad for Facebook’s stock price and good for users, and that’s probably all the noticeable impact.

Even if Apple’s motives are somehow nefarious, Facebook is being scummy in the first place, so it’s a fair move for Apple to take advantage of that, IMO.
Actually, I am surprised that EU isn't competitive in semiconductors. The value of the euro is pretty low considering that you get access to a high quality workforce that ought to get at least 50% higher salaries. This is how Germany has become an export nation. Adopt a currency whose value is being pushed down by neighboring countries. This makes German exports more competitive in the global market. Why has this not worked out for semiconductors?
Could you do me (and others) a favor and not speak in acronyms, not meaning to sound combative, just the 2 seconds of someone passing over your comment they're likely to gloss over whatever you said because of the time it would take to search into the terms and find the correct ones. Thank you!
Oh wow, that's not good. In normal times, I know some European countries allowed you to enter with a tourist visa, which is much easier, then let you apply for a work visa once you got a job offer... and if you told them you came into the country for the personal job interview, you could wait for the visa while in the country! I know because I've done it... but that was many years ago and with COVID-19 now, I don't think they're even issuing tourist visas anyway. In any case, hope you manage without issues... I've been to both countries and they are both beautiful and very "European" (as in, lovely little towns, great food and very kind people).
Interesting, but questionably useful. If you're converting integer bases or obfuscating email addresses, there are much better approaches that don't involve a bad hack
France:

- never tested asymptotic people
- in the first weeks, didn't tested anyone unless they had symptoms AND came back from China or Italy
- now only takes care of serious cases, which means that if you have mild symptoms you don't get tested

Official numbers a way, way lower than reality.
how do the concentration camps in most european/russian/US countries factor into this? or do you consider those ethnicities/races as 'enemy civilians'?
I think the ties that bind in the Anglosphere are pretty much done for. These countries are basically malls that people move-to to get stuff, I think we need a little more collectivism - at least on the state/provincial level to be better balanced (US perspective).
Don’t C++ and Rust still have the memory fragmentation issue, since they have to use an allocator at some point?
As I read the article, these are some ads that I see:

* Cascade - Useful

* Some IBM Power and Storage Webinar - not so useful

* Used Cars - not so useful (I anticipate doing less driving than normal the next few weeks)

* Constant Contact - not so useful

* Nike - not so useful

* Auto insurance - not so useful

There is something funny about an article arguing against targeted advertising surrounded by ads that do a pretty bad job of targeting.
I think it would be nice if the HTTP server could at least optionally validate that the length is expected. For example I would really not expect a malformed chunked encoding lacking a terminating zero length chunk to silently succeed.

However, I think you are dead on the money. Etcd is not validating the values but Discord’s software seems to assume the etcd values must be valid. That seems like a recipe for future outages if the mentality were kept this way.
Ah it, was called JetLeak -- http://blog.gdssecurity.com/labs/2015/2/25/jetleak-vulnerabi...
I seem to mostly remember them as strings orthogonally to the idea. One particular example was "x equals negative b plus or minus square root b squared minus four a c all over two a" set to "pop goes the weasel" in high school. After knowing that for a while I came across a visual diagram of what the quadratic formula and completing the square actually mean and it wasn't until then that I understood them. Some formula formats I recognize more by shape/appearance such as the g = G m1m2 / r^2 form that applies to some contactless forces.
Very silly indeed. There's no actual explanation of how, say, "cryptocurrency" should be used. If a spec cannot provide clear examples of what a header or piece of data is supposed to do, that's a warning.

Also not a fan of their little mini-formats embedded inside the format. Pick a structured encoding system, and stick to it. Like cryptocurrency, if it has to exist, should have two fields, type and address. Not this silly parse-text-look-for-semicolons. This kind of stuff leads to people grafting on all sorts of extra bits that require special parsing. It's bad and pointless. Use a binary JSON or something format and call it a day, and don't cram anything else into a string field other than a single value.

And the Phone field definition provides no format for the number, thus making many numbers you receive potentially ambiguous. Does 502 refer to Kentucky or Guatemala?

Seriously though: predefined fields to refer to a user or organisation's "vision statement"? Someone discovered that when you're just typing specs in Word, there's no implementation cost to pay and you can literally type in anything you please. This is the same problem that plagues various other specs. The same reason HTTP has line-wrapping in header fields, or why email URIs can contain comments, ffs.

There also seems to be a lot of "mays" and weird behaviour. Like, images can be 16MB. But you should keep them at 1MB or less, cause maybe clients might not display them if they're over 1MB. Probably. They can ignore them over 1MB, but they have to "handle" up to 16MB. This kinda stuff serves no purpose but to harm interop and split implementations.

Seriously, the more I read this, the more I see someone just having fun re-making email. Hey, sky's the limit! This is pretty funny considering: "DMTP is intentionally simplistic". Simplistic, but they cannot even agree on LF versus CRLF. Seriously. Brand-new protocol, and line-endings for the transfer part is implementation defined.

Disclosure: Given Lavabit's past, I was inclined to think Dark Mail would be more snake oil, so I am definitely biased.
Wow, thanks for digging that up. It even costs $152 right now (converted from GBP). Apart from the fact that you seemingly have to remove it to charge, looks good.
Millions of emails for developers and no one harvesting this info thought it wise to obfuscate it in some way?
I remember an old news about Foldit from 2011, where Foldit players were able to decipher the structure of an enzyme that is the key to the way HIV multiplies.

Source : http://www.cnet.com/news/foldit-game-leads-to-aids-research-...

"Gamers were able to do what biochemists have been trying to do for a decade: decipher the structure of a protein called retroviral protease, an enzyme that is key to the way HIV multiplies...People have spatial reasoning skill - something computers are not yet good at."

Strange thing is, if you Google "foldit HIV" or "foldit AIDS" - there is no follow up news. There are some new articles on 2013, but they link straight back to 2011 articles.
I go with the be lean advice. Spend as little as possible. Only spend money that is absolutely required to help you get the first sale.

The cellphone may or may not be in that category.

Other things may be a domain. For an MVP you can use a $1 for first year .info domain.

You don't need to pay for hosting, use Heroku or something on the free tier. Stationery and furniture can be free from friends / family that have too much. etc.

Live like a tramp.

Exception is if you are cashflow rich and time poor - i.e. you have a good job. Then you could invest into time saving tools and SaaS services (that you need to help you make the first sale more quickly). However such investments would still be a tiny fraction of the $10k. Actually it will be none of the $10k because you pay from your net salary.
I used to work for an import/export packaging place and the owner was a really into high-end electronics. He showed me a trick where you place a waste damaged device into a sealed bag with molecular sieve (kinda like silica but way better) and 24-48 hours later is dry inside and out. I do regular (every 6 months or so) drying maintenance on all my daily use electronics (phone, laptop, etc.) Plus I've fixed many friends phones and laptops using molecular sieve and a mylar zip seal bag. Putting electronics in the oven is risky biz. Rice sometimes works but actually can do more harm than good. Best alternative... through it in the vegetable crisper in your refrigerator. It usually is the least humid place, best for drying.
Maybe you should rethink your policy either way.

In my circles, at least, it's standard practice to use environment variables.

But I would think clearly it'd be an option.
This pattern really ruins the experience for me. I know of a few apps that while loading will show an inspirational quote or some other distraction. For me it cheapens the experience. I understand scaling is #hard but there are better experiences than a loading screen that can make the end user experience much better.
Folks may prefer that, but the original policy in Berkeley was put in place 100 years ago specifically in response to the perceived threat of the African American influx.

In highly developed urban/suburban areas today all over the country (not bucolic hamlets that people imagine), this zoning policy (along with others like large minimum lot sizes) effectively function as a demographic and economic sieve.
AROS is anything but new OS. It started in 1995.
From the study:

“ Although 90% of women report acute breast and nipple pain during the first week of breastfeeding initiation”

“ 30% of women who continue to breastfeed at 2 weeks after birth report persistent breast and nipple pain”

That’s certainly quite different from the suggestion that it’s a year of suffering in the normal case.

Breast feed if you want to, and quit when you want, without worrying about what other people think.

We took a few weeks with child one for mother’s nipples to handle the pain. The biggest issue was psychological for the first 2ish weeks, as we’d been told by some midwives that it will not hurt if you’re latching correctly. Visiting a breastfeeding specialist (for free) at 2ish weeks who told us sometimes the pain is unavoidable but normally goes in 4 to 8 weeks made a huge difference. Weaned completely at 9 months.

With child number 2, basically no pain. Weaned completely at 2 years. Mother is very glad she breastfed both, and was ready to stop when the children were.
Good eyes! That’s a handy feature of this MCU: power-on boots start the application, not the bootloader. External resets switch to the bootloader if HWB is pulled low.
At data copy rate of 100 MB/s taking a backup from one of these drives takes 50 hours.
I wouldn't chalk it all off to "low-pay" and "little-training". Those things wouldn't necessarily be a problem, even if they were the cause, if adequate repercussions were in place for such behavior.

Everything else aside, how are we to expect them to behave accordingly and justly if we do not punish/reprimand them for doing the opposite?
Wikipedia has shown itself to be firmly in the SJW/Quinn/Sarkeesian/Wu camp. So I'm not sure what he is upset about.

(tech @ producthunt here - hope i can help a bit)

our moderators receive several hundred submissions per day.

only a handful of those make it to the frontpage daily.

the whole process is at the moment not yet where we want it to be. we are working on making it more transparent.
Ugh not getting it. The problem isn't the new ones being better, its that until every last one of the old ones is melted down, it'll be a PR nightmare trying to sell new diesels to people who were just choked in a school bus smoke cloud yesterday or choked in a semi truck cloud this morning. It doesn't mean anything to those customers that the new diesels aren't like that, or the cloud generator was a 1990 model. All that matters is they can almost still smell that stinking cloud.

One effective although expensive way to sell diesels in 2015 would be to buy every pre-2005 or so diesel and melt it down into scrap metal. We can't afford that, although over a very long period of time it'll eventually take place naturally.

Another way would be to enforce emissions limits and emissions testing such that nobody ever sees a 1995 diesel truck laying down a smoke cloud. We've pretty much chosen not to do that, as a society.
Are you using Hacker News Enhancement Suite on Chrome? I'm seeing the same thing with that configuration, but not when it's disabled (or on other browsers).
You have a plugin causing that.

Someone posted an imgur screenshot to HN with a title something like "bug on HN today". This was within the past day or so.

The Algolia search is fucking hopeless so I can't find the submission now.
Even within the EU it can be a total pain to set up the proper taxing documents and everything. It's certainly simpler, but not that immediate, you still need an infrastructure to support it.
Add a capable person to your team who's sole task it is to find investors for the visioned expansion. Its a full time job, especially with such 'raw product'. A person to work out the numbers (investment needed, market size, product placement, target price level), contact VC's, setup/lead meetings etc. Maybe even on no cure no pay.
I think it's highly subjective. What worked for the sample space might not work for me or you. That's why I always take these type of researches as a grain of salt, and try to figure out what works for me and what doesn't.

I believes many of these claims will be debunked as the 'The Human Connectome Project' and 'The Human Brain Project' nears completion. But I think many things like creativity will always remain subjective.
Why not have said "high level" methods available at a low level? What if I want to write Chinese in my config files while editing with vi on a tty running through the system fb console?
You are assuming that the idea is actually to "kill the Internet", and not that it is just horribly, horribly miscommunicated using that concept. What if instead of this they were saying something like "we may at some point need to kill all traffic from all ISPs going to any IP address with the ASN 31336 and a TCP destination port of 80 or 5151"?
Maybe just rebrand to be pronounced 'coke'?
How would the plane know it's weight? You could measure the forces on the landing gear, but that would be subject to huge errors (inflation of the tires, stresses from the hydraulics, etc.), much higher than the 1% error required to notice this discrepancy. They do have checks in place, which is how they noticed the issue, but it still comes from keeping track of what goes on the plane.

> As part of the prestart procedure, the flight crew reviewed the flight plan, which gave an expected takeoff weight (TOW) of 66,495 kg (Figure 1), and the load sheet, which gave a TOW of 64,889 kg (Figure 2). They noticed that there was a discrepancy, with the load sheet showing 1,606 kg less than the flight plan. They noted that the number of children shown on the load sheet was higher than expected, at 65, compared to the 29 which were expected on the flight plan. The commander recalled thinking that the number was high but plausible; he had experienced changing loads on the run-up to the temporary grounding as passengers cancelled and altered trips at short notice.
There are plenty of games today (probably more than in the 80s) that are all "thinking" based with puzzles, that doesn't require a lot of coordination nor grinding. Myst, The Witness, Obduction and The Talos Principle comes to mind, but I'm sure there are more.
Civil suits are optional. Discussions between parties in civil suits are mostly optional. The only thing about that isn't optional are the procedures and a final ruling on the matter. In most cases of civil suits the lawyers negotiate the expenditures going in. This is why many plaintiff lawyers won't accept every case that comes their way.
I don't know if that analogy holds. A fake book is indispensable for working dance bands who want to play at banquets or whatever where someone will request songs the band hasn't played before. The Anarchist's Cookbook is just for teenagers to download and feel like they are sticking it to the man. There are not, to my knowledge, a whole lot of practicing anarchists.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the tone of your comment, are you suggesting that we don't rename things that lead to people feeling unwelcome in a community?

EDIT:

Turns out I was misunderstanding the context; I misread it as something like "look how offended these people get omg", but in reality it looks like the poster was saying that it's sad that we live in a world where this might need to be changed [1]. Entirely my fault!

Regardless of wether "Miss" is a pronoun You understood what I was saying. And the fact that You argue the fact that it is not a pronoun just enforces my argument.
The author appears to be mostly speaking from their experience of working at Mozilla, so I hope most of their claims are at least somewhat backed up by empirical (although possibly anecdotal) evidence
I had COVID in December and just last week I had my sense of taste go out for two days. There’s no way I was re-exposed. Before that my taste had recovered completely. Such an odd thing.

I also had really bad Parkinson’s-like shaking a few times, but luckily that’s gone away. Post viral issues do happen with other diseases and I’m personally glad COVID’s symptoms of it are so unique. From personal experience doctors have a hard time acknowledging fatigue. This should lead to more research on the matter.
The typical engineer is not a genius. Don't compare yourself to geniuses. The typical engineer also makes more than you do, and you should find a job and close that gap. If you are feeling like you are unworthy, go talk to any chaps in London about the guys making 50k sterling while being unable to do FizzBuzz. (I assume you have them in London, too.)

If you're worried about your portfolio being insufficiently graphically impressive, well, pick an off-the-rack template which looks pretty, then build an example site off of that. You can reference the case studies of what you've done without actually showing the sites. Just tell people that your previous bosses are uptight corporate types.

The Internets is full of people looking for competent PHP developers, if you can't find them locally. Network network network, develop a speciality, blog, all the usual advice here.

I would start by reading The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham. If you like it, then move on to Margin of Safety by Seth Klarman. (I have a value investing bias.)
> We've even got it ingrained into our laws. Minimum wage for servers is barely nominal, and much less than what anyone else in the restaurant is making.

That's only if the tips don't make up the difference to get to minimum wage.
I just ran into this last night: I took a cab home from the airport. One: he had no gps and took a wrong freeway change getting home. Two he barely spoke English. Three I basically had to navigate him back on track and painfully turn by turn.

End of the trip I go pay, and he's sad that I want to pay with a credit card. Then the tip meter only has 20% or other. I hit other with a much lower tip. He cancels the transaction from the front, and says that the ride is actually 150 not 100, and that's why I need to tip. So I say fine and end up tipping him the 20% at 100.

But seriously isn't a tip like a bonus!? Why are we all required to give 20% tips even when the service sucks?

Next time I'll just uber.
Do you know Meteor - http://www.meteor.com ?
I think your idea is a quite similar to what Meteor does with MongoDB.
This is actually our 1st choice for now, but we are not closed yet.
Why are you saying the fault lies with the vendor? Do you think nobody knows that? Do you think that's not obvious? Do you think that's what I was commenting about?

There's a difference between reading and comprehension.
Articles like these are great. For those working with ultra-low power MCUs, it's a gold mine of knowledge, data, and wisdom. For everyone else (like me), it finds value as an inspiration. The article stands as an example of what good engineering looks like; the kind of attention to detail and depth of thoughtfulness we should strive to pour into our own projects.
I don't think it's accurate to count stuff like youtube and google cloud as part of the %. It's gigabyte heavy but attention light. Just raw data about cat videos.

Compare it with say whatsapp traffic - that has a crazy high amount of attention crammed into each gigabyte.

Doesn't really change the message/conclusion but the metric used here seem flawed.
Probably AI written content.
