Your argument does essentially shoot down any merit to 5 second login attempt delays, and a cap on the number of attempts in 15 minutes.
I didn't even know there were multiple videos until you said something. I wasn't expecting a built in playlist, and the website design is so minimal that I bet people will skip over the other videos just out of not knowing they were there.

I'd be interested in seeing the view stats for each video in a couple weeks to see how this approach has worked for them. I imagine though that there will be considerable dropoff for video 2 and even lower on 3.
With your situation your best bet might be looking for a gently used laptop or trading services.
Can someone come up with a way that any of the Zynga stuff (or even better, Facebook-generated content) genuinely infringes on their rights? If they start getting takedowns for things that make them money, that might make them think about reforming their procedures.
I don't know the technical reason, but most 32 bit apps on Linux are limited to 2GB (2^31 bytes).
Do you know of any manual or book-style treatment about using those tools for investigating the performance of Linux systems? Every once in a while I have to look at performance problems on Linux systems, but I always start from zero. I need a place where I can study the topic and refresh myself when necessary, because I'm apparently not capable of mastering it via occasional piecemeal experience.
He mentions a useful life of three years - but within three years, I'd expect ARM laptops to have largely replaced intel laptops, and be lighter, slimmer, have longer battery life, etc.

Dual-core machines are out this year and are already fast enough for non-intensive tasks. Quad-core are expected next year. As a guide, in three years (2014) Tegra (Stark) is expected, which 100 times faster than Tegra 2. Apple's internal cpu could well be faster. Three years is a long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra#Tegra_2_series
I use Instapaper free and am happy with it. The ten article cap doesn't bother me because I clear my backlog quickly. I actually like choosing from ten articles, reading one, archiving it and seeing a new one pop into the menu. Free used to not save my place in the article and I almost upgraded for that, but then Free started to save my place and I didn't upgrade. I am vaguely aware of some other features Pro might offer, but ignorance is bliss...
> Node.js was a contender but lost steam

My guess is that Node.js either saturated the market of web developers looking to do backend, or people realized that type safety is a good thing, and JS doesn't have a good story for it.
Because there are programming languages people hate and programming languages people don't use.
Thank you for your feedback. We will definitely add tool tips. Zoom is on our road map in next releases. Regarding tech stack, the core is: electron, nestjs, sharedb, mongodb, angular, codemirror, aws and docker.
For online collaboration we use a modified version of sharedb (https://github.com/share/sharedb). Its using the operational transformation algorithm (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation).
I know you need to go through customs. But why do I need to pick up my bag, leave the airport, and go back into the airport?

For example international transfers in a major airport like Frankfurt you do customs but you don’t see you bag and you don’t basically leave the airport.

In Newark you go all the way out to where people are being dropped off for departures at the curb!
That's what the OP is about: hiding implementations behind an interface.

Effects are different because side effects are impure which is not allowed by default in a pure language.
Machinery is needed to hide the effects in effect-managing containers so they don't contaminate pure code.
+1 for this feature! It would be pretty neat to combine this with a service that prints a 2D image using physical lego bricks. This is nerdy and silly, but I could imagine "printing" a successful fortress in DF this way (or another sliced 3D view.
I also did something like this in JS with video support https://github.com/kirkegaard/legofy
not even in the top 10,000. get some perspective.
I think that there is a misconception about how the industry looks. Many of us don’t do web services and sites or anything even related to those such as adtech. We do boring software that runs in government basements, dishwashers, cars, intranets.
We do huge desktop software with thousands of man years in them like cad packages. Probably most significantly we do boring integrations in ERP/CRM systems. Just Sharepoint alone is its own massive galaxy in the developer universe.
The two branches “Enterprise” and “Government” are underrepresented in the discussions but not on the job market, I think that’s where the perceived difference comes from.

Also we shouldn’t forget C# has a resurgence on many fronts not least unity and as a very good nodejs replacement these days.
Indira Gandhi declared an emergency and used the emergency powers to amend the Indian constitution in a way that benefits her ideology.

That’s in a completely different league when it comes to authoritarianism.

The current PM just keeps winning large electoral victories and is passing laws that benefit his ideology. And sometimes in ways that circumvents the constitution of India.

I think there is a difference.
My problem with Excel isn't the principle of spreadsheet software, but that it's bad spreadsheet software. It has a bad expression language and a bad API and bad type-safety and bad automatic type coercions and bad range behavior and bad copy-paste functionality...

There are so many boneheaded things wrong with Excel that they can't fix because they must stay bug-compatible.

So I keep dealing with text getting mangled into dates and iso8601 dates getting mangled into God knows what and papers getting examined and people finding out "oops your data got screwed up by some counterintuitive behavior of excel and your findings are all wrong".
earlier in the thread someone provided a definition along the lines of: "a pimp is a manager who is allowed to use violence, drug addiction and other forms of non-consensual coercion."
I am into proprietary trading too. For retail investors like myself, seems only NinjaTrader & MetaTrader allow algorithmic trading capabilities via API. But both uses its own language.
Agreed with others about the interface - very slick. Great job getting it launched. A few comments/thoughts:

- I'm interested in the game mechanics portion. Would be interesting to have additional badges based on whether a task is completed on-time or ahead of schedule rather than just completed at all.

- Some kind of crossing-out animation when you mark a task as completed (like w/Google Tasks) could make it more satisfying. Right now the item just disappears quickly...I want to revel in my accomplishment of completing a task!

- In your welcome email you may want to include a confirmation mechanism to ensure that person is indeed the owner of that email address.
hmm, i was thinking 'All problems can be solved by another level of indirection' should be somewhere pretty high up...
Boy, wanna talk about perverse incentives? How about this "typical assets" business? One more way today's world proves you're a sucker to be frugal and save. Stanford is indeed a luxury, and there's no reason a well-off family should not pay for it. But these free rides are not coming only from endowments. If you're paying full freight, you're not covering just your kid but a couple other kids too. This is a mad way to price products. Only maybe healthcare is less rational.
Seems like the math portion is becoming less about math and more like an MBA reading comprehension test.

If you want to play with VPS servers, use DO. If you want to virtualize a data-center or series of globally-connected data centers with racks of servers, use AWS.

So maybe AWS isn't the right solution for you. You say in another comment that warnings about billing overages aren't enough. AWS can't hold your hand and provide Netflix-capable services at the same time.

Amazon chose the latter. I would recommend you not choose AWS until you have the time to dedicate to it.
Not really. WhatsApp do store messages on their servers for sometime.

Clean data and uninstall the app from your Android, uninstall the app and then install again. WhatsApp you ask if you want to recover some of your history.
OK. I thought you were getting it confused with one of the message saving snapchat proxies (which then got hacked). But whatsapp is clearly not a replacement. snapchat may have failed to delete videos from the users device, but whatsapp doesn't even try.
It cheats; the characters are stupid; I felt sticky leaving the cinema.

Why go to immense effort to part your ship outside the orbit of a black hole (yet somehow matching the orbit of a planet further in - which is impossible in any inertial frame I can think of), so you can land a dingy on a planet further in? Then get back and act surprised that while you spent 1 day on the planet, the universe spent 20 years.

That was actually what they meant to do... so why act surprised? Then act surprised that the ship had spent half its fuel over those 20 years keeping the lights on? Why the urgency to land in the first place, when you knew it would take years to return? A couple days thinking could have avoided all that, and not wasted any time compared to those years. Maybe park the ship around the planet, so it would age approximately the same as you ... and save all that fuel, not to mention the wasted years of life of the guy who stayed on board.

The so-called plot was exhausting, trying to keep my belief suspended. After a while it was just inertia that kept me in my seat.

And the wasted talent, playing thankless roles that could have been omitted without any effect on the movie. John Lithgow! Playing a taciturn grandfather, with maybe 3 lines that made it out of the cutting room. Who dies 2/3 of the way through, with an offhand comment by someone else on a video call, no death scene, no farewall, no real purpose in the movie at all.

And the brother, another guy with maybe 3 lines total, no personality to speak of, no reason to be in the movie. And the baffling decision to have the father love the daughter, but care nothing for the son. And never address this in any scene anywhere. Just let it go.
S3 explicitly changed their license to allow copying the S3 API. I forget the year, ~2010? I was working an S3 at the time and it was a strongly debated decision.

Google’s initial launch of their cloud storage copied not just the S3 API, but also the error codes.
This right here. GIS is accessible to anyone who knows Javascript, Python, and SQL thanks to the open source GIS ecosystem. Previously it was the sole domain of ESRI priests.

Now this is a net good thing, but there are downsides. Generalists wielding specialist tools means that a lot of the wonky basics aren't known until things break. But this is a blip compared to the step-change of making an entire field accessible to anyone who's a decent programmer with a healthy appetite for research. It's crazy how much you can spin up with PostGIS, Python, Mapbox and/or Leaflet...no ESRI license needed.
Actually, I find this a bit underpowered. The whole idea is that the invention (in this case the API design or QWERTY in your example) is so powerful that it becomes a 'utility' - so Java's implementation was so powerful it really should have been 'patented' not copyrighted. Then after 20 years, you can take the true 'utility' of the API design from Java to the commons.

And yes, if ease of use will be a differentiator why people like Apple (whether it's right or wrong), then so is the ability to learn is an attribute to be protected from theft.

I say all this seeing exactly where Swift is heading, and probably why Apple created the language that will run their unified APIs... because there's no other way to join except through their Swift gates.
I have a 30 year old diesel camper van which we use once every few weeks. Being a mechanically injected diesel Toyota so it's pretty reliable, the only thing that lets it down is the battery, especially over the winter when it gets used even less frequently.

The obvious solution to this is a small solar panel to keep the battery topped up.

It had never occurred that I'd have to be very careful to park the van in an area where it has good direct sunlight (it's only a 10w panel so anything less than direct sunlight means it's barely producing enough to support the charge controller). The street in which I usually park is south facing but has tallish buildings on both sides.

The upshot of this is I can can't imagine how frustrating it would be if I was counting on the solar panels on the car contributing to its range.
Sure, but nothing magic happens when you go from 69 ppt to 71 ppt. And tests have accuracy of +\- a few ppt. Number can fluctuate day to day.

80 ppt is probably worth watching but when the limit is 70 ppt it’s much less alarming (11% over limit) than if the limit is 10 ppt (8 times!!!)
Is the universe changing, or just your references to it?
It would be dumb to declare true the opponent’s case in the argument, wouldn’t it?
Please don't take HN threads into ideological flamewar. This sort of boilerplate just leads to predictable, boring, and nasty discussion. It's also sensational and gets lots of upvotes, which fans the flames. It's a failure mode for large internet forums, which simply can't do anything interesting with this material.

Hotspot has sub-millisecond GC pause times.

"But as long as your system isn’t heavily over-provisioned, you can expect to see average GC pause times of around 0.05ms (50µs) and max pause times of around 0.5ms (500µs)."

I always thought we asked two simple things from the police as they carry out their duties. Professionalism, which as you said is the ability to withstand provocation to anger without acting violently. And courage, which is the ability to endure fear also without acting violently.

I think they are still doing a pretty good job on the whole as far as the former goes. Its the latter I find them slipping on as of late.
works for Samsung at first.
It is valuable to make a distinction between state and government, but I can't agree with how you are classifying military and police. The military exists to defend the existence of a state. Police cannot perform this role in a democracy, because a democracy _should_ be able to destroy itself peacefully.

Police exist to promote social order and peace, and should have no allegiance to the state, but to the people. Conversely, the military must be obedient to the state in order to prevent internal fracture, as that would weaken the military as a combat force. The police cannot work in the same way: they are fractured simply by the fact that they have no strong central command structure. They serve their communities.
Why the downvote? Is discussion of a previous discussion too meta or otherwise off topic?
I second this. We use PositiveSSL from namecheap for https://curious.io and it works very well. I had no prior experience so I had some help trying to get it up there, but compared to other SSL certificates, it was cheaper and (so I've been told) no different from most of the costlier alternatives, atleast for how we'd be using it.
This is the opposite of Reddit where, in theory, the downvote is not meant to be used to indicate disagreement but rather low quality comments

I'm not sure HN has changed for the worse, but this is the first time I recall someone suggesting that the cause of HN's decline is that HN is not enough like Reddit.

Except most people won't know about this or care. You get the government you deserve, which is to say, a shitty one.
By being in the general markets, bitcoin will finally have mass access to leveraged trading. The result will be that bitcoin will finally see a 'true bubble'. While the bitcoin price has been decreasing, it's not really been a bubble as the popping of a bubble is usually twice as fast as its inflation, the opposite of which is true in the current bitcoin decrease.

A good resource on the connection between leverage and financial bubbles is Kindleberger's "Manias, Panics, and Crashes"
I can't recommend that book enough. It's extremely well written and approaches advanced concepts in an approachable way. The book is worth the price on the basis of fizzbuzz in lambda calculus alone.
> Deepfakes don't provide any fundamentally new capability

I'm not sure this is entirely true, although your larger point is quite good.

People have been faking video since the dawn of video, yes. But for several decades, a clear, high-res video of a specific person has been pretty much inviolate. Faking a steady closeup of a president or famous actress would have been unthinkable - no VFX hoax ever convincingly impersonated Nixon. As a result, bad actors had to resort to deceptive editing, low-quality "covert" footage, or very rarely an exceptional look-alike. Even Hollywood had to rely on old footage and rewrites when an actor died.

Today, we're right on the edge of changing that. MIT can revive the President, but not perfectly, and only to the standards of a 70s news video. Lucasfilms can revive Carrie Fisher, but not well enough to fool an alert viewer, and not in a natural/unedited setting. Within a few years, we might hit a level that tricks even the most acute viewer, and is only caught by forensic analysis. We've been there with photographs for years, but it's new ground for video.
On GSD:

You do this for long enough without ever cleaning up after yourself, and you're left with a massive, steaming pile of garbage that you have to then support and maintain. Maybe you're lucky enough to be able to write fire-and-forget code, but in my experience, writing hacky terrible code to ship something just means that I'll have to spend 3-5x time on the phone troubleshooting with a customer, analyzing logfiles and then writing the code the right way in the end, than if I had just done things right to start with.
I realize you may have omitted some nuance, but to me, "debating" whether you have to consider the entirety of a mass when modeling gravity sounds incredibly boring. If you use 9.8 m/s*s you are papering over all the nuance, and otherwise 2 masses and a distance is pretty obviously fundamental.

Was the real conversation better than that?
An experienced developer is almost certainly going to start by asking you more questions, trying to find out what your expectations are.
hmmmm what about: "twitter is now rolling out the ability for you to click on stock symbols with a $ sign in front of them. Once you click them, you’ll be able to see all of the conversation about a particular company, much like you would a hashtag."

"Companies with their own police force."

Yes.

I believe in being able to verify that a device or app isn't leaking sensitive information, and I enforce that using HTTPS interception. As an app developer if you attempt to lock me out of the communications leaving my network, I the choice of potentially compromising my security and privacy or the choice of blocking the traffic, and I choose to take a hard line when it comes to security.

The frustrating thing is that HTTPS is typically seen as good guys (server operator) vs bad guys (anything who isn't the client browser). But there's a lot of gray areas.

Take any network that wants to scan HTTPS traffic for incoming viruses at the perimeter for example, which is a lot of corporate networks. Any use of certificate pinning restricts the network owner's ability to virus-scan or apply Data Leakage Prevention rules to that traffic.

We probably both agree that virus scanners are unlikely to catch emerging threats and that DLP rules are easily bypassed, but they are also layers of a much larger security onion.

Edit: HSTS headers can be stripped in transit, but certificate pinning requires significantly more effort to defeat and IMO isn't worth the effort, that's why I talked about cert pinning.
YT Kids doesn't have great browsing abilities, unless you're old enough to search. You're watching a video, and there's a carousel of related videos below it. It's very easy to get stuck in a loop.
People underestimate how much of an honest, plausible mistake this can be if you've lived through World War 1 but not World War 2.
yuck. Frozen meat has a different texture and is not a substitute except in emergencies. Though if you are not for cooking yourself you probably have enough other bad things happening in your food chain that you cannot tell the difference.
On one hand, W3C doesn't matter anymore. Google is the internet. On other hand there's Apple with their Safari and I have high hopes that even if Chrome implements that, Safari won't so Google will have to play by Apple's rules in the end of the day. Weird power play we are to observe.
Misses the point of what a 'leak' is.
With a good CLI setup good speed can be achieved. For example ZSH with the Git plugin from Oh My Zsh and history based autocompletion with arrow up gives you super speed. I rarely type more than a few characters for all my regular operations, including auto completing all branch names and origins.
Any of those as discrete events would be less serious than distributed commonplace bike thefts. If your region gets such a reputation for petty crime that anyone has a thread of nervousness that they'll be victims when visiting, it's not going to be great for anyone.
For some animated videos, the difference was quite impressive to me.

AV1 100 MiB
H.265 500 MiB
H.264 1.5 GiB

At this point, the audio codecs and track count start making a difference, so this isn't really a fair comparison. And BTW, in terms of video quality in the files above, AV1 > H.265 > H.264.

In non-animated content, the difference is less impressive, but comes at about ~20% in favor of AV1 vs HEVC, in my subjective-and-not-rigorously-benchmarked opinion. But "video quality" is subjective anyway.
Fantastic feedback. I would co-locate the servers but we can't afford to buy the servers. The most expensive thing is the software for us, SQL alone costs ~£6k.

Hardware itself is cheap, setup times are long and exhaustive.

I just priced up Rackspace, its not an option, well expensive. Azure is hard to price up, could they make their form any more difficult to understand??

My current dedicated hosting provider has just put our prices up another £200 a month so thats the reason for looking round. I love our host but it annoys me that if I purchased the hardware then I would save us in 6 months what we spend in a year.

It just means me spending weeks setting up the hardware etc. I can't load balance, I won't have access to a SAN. I feel tied in.

EC2 say that the package I was looking at has good disc IO. Although I can't scale it without purchasing it really
How is this vs seomoz?
I don't think banning countries from the Internet is the answer, but net neutrality seems like a completely separate issue.
You can serve an X-Frame-Options:"DENY" (or "SAMEORIGIN") header to prevent browsers from loading the iframes.
Rubinstein was also behind the work on using pixel intensity variations to visualize... stuff. They used it to extract heart rates. I am guessing sillier methods used, but now to recover induced vibrations due to sound. Interesting work.
