I'm arguing the opposite - if you want stability and time-proven code, you will find the most boring, standard library possible. So, you'd pick Jackson for JSON serialization over, say, GSON. But taken further why not just go back to C... Or COBOL? We have to trade off some stability through age for some newer code that's got better potential. Reinventing the wheel should be discouraged only on the basis of it not being tested as well in the fires of production use, not so much for being actually redundant. How many of us would write exactly the same hashing library if we were told to do it repeatedly?

So in a scenario like being stuck with Java 6 I'd say you could use libraries like Jodatime and Jodd to make up for certain inconveniences, but it's up to you to decide if your application is fine with the AOP in Jodd v. Guice v. Spring v. whatever J2EE standard is trying to catch up after the fact.
I've been through special security checks, inspections, etc. Last year I was carrying something my parents sent me, TSA asked me to take it out, and ran chemical tests on it. I said do whatever you want with it, and was nice to them. They in turn were nice to me, and allowed me to carry it on the plane, while I was ready to throw it away if they didn't want it on the plane. Maybe its just me, but this guy just had the wrong attitude through the initial part of the process. I feel sorry for what happened to him later.
Yes I was calling ?Google a one trick pony which they are. Have you looked at where they make their profits from?
Sure, you just need a particle accelerator. It's absolutely nowhere near practical, let alone cost effective.
Well, there's a question about what will calm millions of people down:

1) Lying to them that elections are secure, and telling them to sit down and shut up

2) Taking concerns seriously and addressing them

Your premise is that #1 will prevent a violence. My claim is that #2 will.

You can flipped this around. We had a lot of violence and lawless behavior around BLM protests. What would have calmed people down? Telling them we didn't have racism, to go home, and shut up? Or providing a clear process to address their concerns peacefully?

I think most folks on the right will move on from the Trump election if the left knocks it off with "sit down and shut up," which is coincidentally the exact language right wing commentators use.

As a footnote, which concerns are valid is almost irrelevant. For this, what matters is which concerns people believe.
I imagine when processing power doubles a few more times that we'll be able to do that in real time. Pick your movie, then pick which actors you want, use your Mii as the next James Bond, etc..
No, it is both. Grammar that is mandatory in English is optional in ASL. At the same time there is a lot of grammar in ASL that covers things that takes several sentences in English to get out.

This isn't unusual. Even in spoken languages the required grammar are often different. Even in English some areas there are some contexts where "the" is mandatory in some geographical areas and not others. Linguists can give you a Phd if you want to study this more.
Actually, the wast majority of musicians make nothing at all. Even fairly popular bands don’t.

I am browsing docs at https://docs.doppler.com and I noticed that in all your examples you do not authenticate even though this is needed when interacting with doppler. In most examples the required authentication is not even one extra line of code. Why would you leave that out?

I have an OCD where I want the examples to be complete, sorry for that. Otherwise the service looks interesting.

It seems that the main doppler product is not end-to-end encrypted, is that correct?
Your card is based on Fermi, an architecture that's no longer supported by NVIDIA since a long while now (last drivers in 2018, you're on a legacy branch).

That means that apps using newer versions of CUDA will not work, and your hardware is also far too old to use OptiX.

Put in another way, your current GPU is slower than the one in a Nintendo Switch...
Don’t app updates only push deltas anyway? It’s only the initial install that’s large.
> The app has a couple of millions of lines of code

I wonder if Uber is planning to do anything about that? The technique described in the article (whole program instructions outlining optimisation) is a band aid style solution, merely delaying the inevitable: the code produced by numerous teams independent of each other will inevitably cross first the download size limit threshold, and later maintainability threshold.

From my (admittedly limited) experience, yes, you will want to eventually get a Mac of our own for development. I'm not sure if there is a way to create .dmg packages otherwise, but you will definitely want to be able to take advantage of the Cocoa libraries if you're doing GUI apps. The most common recommendation I hear for strictly cross-platform development is to get a Mac Mini; it can handle pretty much any "normal" development tasks you'd need it for.
I've had some unfortunate things happen to me, in turn which gave me extreme depression and PTSD. What I did was pretty simple... I did everything I could do to have a good nights sleep. If that meant exercise, better food etc, I did it.

Now it's manageable without any various medications, doctors etc and that makes me feel pretty awesome.

P.S. The Beatles would always make me cry when I was on a low. Heh.

Stuff like this can usually be handled with a quick macro in Vim.

For example, I use the macro `zEkzfggj%jzfG` (minus backticks) to fold everything above and below the current { and it's corresponding C block.

And now that I see all of it typed out like that, I'm not sure myself if this is an argument for Vim, or a parody of an argument for it ;)
Matchit.vim is great too, but you have to position your cursor on one of the block delimiting keywords (e.g. class, module, def, if, do or end) to make `v%` do what you want. The nice thing about text-objects is that the target area where you can trigger them to achieve the desired effect is much larger.
Serious question: How do you feel about the way plants are treated?

I'm an environmental studies major. I've read stuff that indicates that plants "scream" when harmed (emit a pulse which humans can't detect but which other plants can) and they also communicate to other plants about dangers in the area (such as insects chewing on them and harming them).

Curious as to how far you think we should take this stand against "speciesism". (EDIT: I mean, for example, should we protest that the sheep are stepping on and eating the grass? I'm sure the grass doesn't much appreciate it -- and, no, I am not being facetious.)
Like most things, making a capital investment results in a cheaper cost than consuming a service.

The problem is, you need to invest $30k to save $50.
Sometimes I feel my government (US) is so inept that they deserve a pat on the back if they successfully tied their shoes in the morning, but I'll be damned if I can help but feel the US and EU governments delivered Russian a pretty frightful blow.

I am in danger of entering conspiracy theorist mode, but I can't help but wonder if the oil prices were manipulated by more than just simple market theory here, with the idea of turning the bite of the economical sanctions against Russian into a full on festering wound.
You can add Certificate Transparency to that list http://www.certificate-transparency.org/ though it's pretty new and barely used right now.
IBM has re-invented itself more times than you remember. They did it when mini computers came along, when the PC hit (an own goal if there ever was one), they did it when the Internet came of age (and when everybody else was still playing catch-up or even ignoring it) and I'm pretty sure they'll be able to survive the transition to the next phase of things (the cloud or whatever is fashionable). IBM is about as stable as they come, they do IT in whatever form it comes. When it was big iron they rolled their own hardware and software to go with it, now it is Linux, so they'll do Linux (on mainframes if you want it), if that changes, they'll change again.

I'd write off a lot of companies long before I'd write off IBM and while they're laying off in one set of divisions they're hiring in others.

So they're not 'magically' going to reverse course, they are gradually going to change course, like they've always done (and like every other supertanker does, move too fast and you'll break things for real, this is not a start-up).

Each and every one of those changes was heralded as 'the end of IBM'. They definitely messed up during the OS wars, I'll give you that but for the most part they rode the waves better than just about any other tech company that has been around this long. Rumors of IBMs imminent demise are most likely vastly exaggerated and any prediction of lay-offs should be henceforth accompanied by some evidence or I'll simply not buy them any more, especially when they entail 100K+ lots of employees.

How are Sperry, Control Data, Data General, Burroughs, SGI, Cray, DEC and a whole slew of others doing these days?

Have you actually looked at ACLU's policies, legal actions it's taking, or talked to anyone who works for/with the ACLU, especially at the state or local level? They are absolutely defending our civil liberties.
So my brother is a doctor. He told me a story about one of his colleagues, also a doctor, one of the smartest doctors my brother knows (which is no light praise), who happens to be a brown colored Muslim. My brother's brown colored Muslim doctor colleague tells him that it is increasingly humiliating to be constantly harassed by TSA when traveling and that he is thinking of leaving the country. My brother follows up by telling me that one day someone is going to need this brilliant, brown colored Muslim doctor and when that day comes the brilliant doctor may not be here.

The bottom line is that we need to ask ourselves what kind of environment are we creating for the country, it's citizens and it's visitors. At some point very smart people, who happen to be non-white, are going to realize that they would rather be somewhere else and we will be the lesser for it.
There's a difference in reaction between someone nervous of cops vs. someone about to die in the willful act of mass murder.
No. Even if I leave my door wide open and piles of glittering jewels on the floor, that doesn't give you the right to walk in and help yourself. Likewise, if I walk down the street in a fancy suit, you don't have the right to mug me, and I don't have the obligation to arm myself against your attacks. It might be prudent to do so, but there's no obligation. In this case, Craigslist's C&D letter gave 3taps abundant warning of what not to do, and what consequences might ensue.

We had this discussion here on HN some days back when the ruling came down. Just because something is possible doesn't give you the right to do it.
Did you and I even read the same story?! The guy was clearly being profiled on race and religious background, not just the false positive of the explosives machine.
I'm actually kinda surprised that the number is that high.

Part of me wants to make a stumble-upon that grabs a random csv from GitHub. I feel like there's probably some really interesting data waiting to be explored.

I would recommend " What is Zen" by Alan Watts,

Siddhartha.

"Ready Player One".

I would also suggest, "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, and would echo "Cyptonomicon".

Approaching Zero: The Extraordinary Underworld of Hackers, Phreakers, Virus Writers, and Keyboard Criminals by Paul Mungo and Bryan Clough is excellent.

Stick with it, when I started using Python I thought significant whitespace was daft - now I think it's brilliantly simple.
Fair enough, I was more thinking similar to how Google searches do it, a sort of yellow-backed "Promoted" link as an alternate/additional source of income than artificially bumping something to the top through fake downloads
Hey, the site is: http://betalyst.com/

It is just on a stock wordpress theme at the moment as I am currently developing a better site for it.

The algorithm selections can be seen here: http://betalyst.com/tips-zone/

Still a lot more work to do on it! - Feel free to share are potential improvements, I am not afraid of constructive criticism! It is very much something I threw together to get the algorithm into the wild, an MVP if you like.

The app is currently not available on the app store as I have to re-launch it with some changes as Google were not happy with the amount of 'gambling' content in it, they paused it when it got to 200k downloads!

It is due to be re-launched before the end of the month once I have time to make the changes they requested.
is most of the income from the nfsw section?
Yurts!
In my experience, I've been unable to detect any discernable difference compared to other 16bit or 24bit Hi-Res audio at 44.1 or 96KHz. What _is_ totally discernable is the file sizes in the gigabytes ranges as opposed to tens of megabytes for equivalent 44.1/96KHz flacs. Ive found this a good resource for comparison: http://www.2l.no/hires/
No argument there but my response was to the rhetoric that falling 6% after hours was nonsense.
Barring GUI libraries that depend on WinForms/WPF, surely there are very few libraries now only available for dotnet framework?

I work at a consultancy for enterprise-size orgs, and Windows servers are indeed still frequently used - but almost exclusively on-prem, and I've never even once come across Windows containers being used. Seems the shift to the cloud, and Microsoft's shift to OSS and Linux love, has tamed even the most fervent of Microsoft shops. 10 years ago you'd be laughed at if you suggested anything other than Windows, but now it's the default for anything in the cloud.
Years back ( DJGPP ) when I was learning 3D graphics I made similar thing, which also had functionality for rotational axis, so that even cube can be made. It was fun.
Because it was simple for a long time, then it became very popular and you have to listen to the idiots.
> The countries on it are the worst offenders

The HRC is about 1/4 the size of the UN itself in seats, and countries are elected to by regional allocation in staggered 3-year terms for a maximum of two consecutive terms.

“The worst offenders” is not a fair description of the current membership [0], or even a dominant faction of the membership, of the Council. There’ve been a couple times in history where the 15 or so countries elected in a single year have included several notably bad actors, and where people have mistaken that group for the whole council rather than about 1/3 of it, but that;s not reality.

Suggestion, change * for commands to something else. I like to use * to correct typos.
It looks like a killer app to me. There is a similar service in India called SMSGupShup which is a big hit.

best luck!
Ouch, does Your Groups work? I typed in my mobile number and it said it couldn't be found, now it's alerting THROTTLE since I probably tried too many times haha.
I have a reputation for being a bit harsh about design critiques, so before I say anything:

* Great work on taking the time to build something cool.

* Awesome work at keeping the functionality simple, intuitive and easy to use. Most people fail at pulling that off.

* Much props for asking for feedback.

...as for the design...

* Some boxes have sharp corners, some have round. Pick just one for a uniform look. You can put stuff like the Facebook fan widget inside a section with rounded corners.

* Doesn't fit in a width of 1024px.

* That green background is hideous and is causing me much gnashing of teeth.

* The logo doesn't seem to fit the rest of the page, in style or in size.

* What is that giant empty blue bar between the header and body of the front page supposed to be doing?

* Some of the small rounded boxes with text in them ("World Cup 2011 Contest coming soon") are center-aligned, but off-center.

* Heading on the left nav bar on the match page could use more uniform spacing so that the match name (sort of redundant) doesn't look like its trying to break free from its rounded div prison to re-join its slightly larger twin to the right.

Other than that, looks great.
Thanks for detail insight. Will keep me busy during the holidays.
Integration with Facebook is definitely in pipeline.
Was thinking of rewarding the winners but wasn't sure if it would be legal. Had asked HN few days back and currently it is on hold. The discussion is at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2017757
The government is doing this because the record labels are lobbying them to do so. While the incompetence of the agencies in question are laughable, the enemy isn't DHS as much as the lobbyists from the recording industry who are increasingly talking the government into spending tax dollars to enforce their civil rights, which they should have to continue funding on their own.

Writing this off as a government power grab is not seeing the forest through the trees.
I think there's a reason so many startups happen in Silicon Valley. The proximity to others in the industry is a huge factor. Grabbing lunch with another startups founder, or a VC, or a mentor, etc. is extremely valuable.

Also, being nomadic makes a good cofounder relationship difficult.
I feel like the first character of this title should be lowercased, URLs traditionally are and I thought it said "LSP" instead of "ISP"
Every programming book I've ever bought has been way outdated to the point of feeling kind of useless.

I mean yeah there's a lot of algorithms and other fundamental concepts you can learn from books, but specific tooling? I'm not sure.

> they go back to firing up the old VPN and torrent client they haven't touched in years.

95%+ people are not capable and/or bothered to do this. Even in my circle of friends from engineering school, where everyone pirated in college, we’re in our 30s now and I don’t know anyone who still does.
>while our civilization may have become advanced, our DNA hasn't caught up. We are programmed to blindly accumulate as much as possible, because for most of our evolutionary history scarcity and disaster was always just around the corner.

Yes, we'd be much better off if we'd just stop progressing at some arbitrary point, and just accepted:

- 35 years of life expectancy

- no running water

- famines every decade

- zero modern technology, like electricity or even healthcare
Then why did you say it was not an answer?

The reason I didnt answer the other question is that it is not relevant.

Another dog barked at and chased our dog after their owner couldn't hold onto the leash.

That's not really important since not being able to hold the leash is a violation of the law. The other party didn't even have a dog license. They decided to call the police because that makes them the "victim" and protects them from their infractions.

Not to mention, it's irrelevant. The law is stated in an absolute liability/immunity fashion. If you are involved in field training, then you are not in violation of the law (civil issues could still be brought if your property caused damages).
Regular glasses also "cover your eyes", you are aware that AR uses transparent lenses right? They augment the world around you, they don't take away from it.
The problem I face is that I am quick to turn off the greyscale or any other measure I would have taken.

I do read a lot on mobile so it is a productive entertainment for me but the problem is that constant exposure is not a good thing especially if the time it occupies is your family time.
Ditto. While Mozilla shut down the mailing lists this week, there's now an alt.comp.software.seamonkey newsgroup.
In the event that Godot becomes insolvent, the engine loses the ability to export to console. You must have a business entity to get access to those parts of the SDK. Losing the ability to go to console is a massive hit to the viability of the engine.
It's possible to steal a box of candy bars, or a case of beer, or the iPad cash register and on and on. Cash is not the only valuable a robber can target. Having large amounts of it on hand may make you a more appealing target but it is only one type of valuable.
second column, there is keys. you can import them without problem.
no, server not will be informed, they check balance by javascript on blockchain.com, not on server side.
What do you call the opposite of clickbait? I thought the article was more interesting than I originally expected.
Then by the same token they should block cellphones and charge $10 a minute for calls.

Some hotels in Paris tried that a few years ago. The FCC clamped down hard on attempts to block cell phones in the US. To report a jammer, call the FCC at 1-855-55NOJAM. Or "jammerinfo@fcc.gov". Or http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/jammer-enforcement
I agree. We may not even be seeing the Rift CV1 until much later this year. Who knows what the experience on that will be like - DK2 is close but not quite there.
Any choice of language is going to satisfy your requirement of one app server prior to your first hire (for most everything not involving huge amounts of data processing). If your code performs poorly enough that this isn't the case, the problem isn't the language — it's you, and no language would have saved you.

That said, there are so many benefits of running multiple servers behind a firewall off the bat, I can't fathom why people don't do this. It more or less enables trivial failover for many classes of problem, and deploys are no longer as large a source of instability: deploy by launching a new box, route a small amount of traffic to it at first, then route all of it. If there's an issue, route to the previous app servers.

Compared to the time wasted by getting the architecture wrong off the bat (and months of pain while you wait for there to be enough time to do the work, which never happens), this is a massive win.
Still a game of probability either way.
