I've been following Jeff's pizza advice for about 1.5 years. It's great! A few notes:

0) crank your oven up as much as possible, and let it preheat for at least 20 minutes.

1) dough is super important - a slow rise in the fridge > 1 1/2 hour rise > 1 hour rise > store-bought dough.

2) Tomatoes in a can are always better than fresh tomatoes because they have already been cooked (trust me).

3) use the best mozzarella you can find, preferably mozzarella di bufala (made from water buffalo milk)

4) for the dough, use King Arthur Flour and bottled water - it makes a noticeable difference.
Yeah, it was a Nexus S for sure. It was cnn.com I was browsing so maybe it was slow loading.

I also noticed on the Galaxy Tab that the response to swiping is noticeable slower than the iPad. It's very frustrating if you're used to iOS.
My email address was disabled by my ex-employer, which was then accessed (possibly by changing the password?) and my details were then tampered with. Example: I had about 5 domain names in a Namecheap account, the ex-employer then did the 'forgot password'. It happened for a few other services. But the worst was seeing parts of my medical files leaked on some IRC server.

Now I'm not quite sure what to do in regards to email. The whole ordeal made me quite sick in the stomach. I have my (new email) settings set so that all emails are deleted after request (on the server) - it's probably a crap way but I didn't know any other option. So I'd expect anything that backs up my email to be -hardcore- on security...

It did make me realise how much malicious damage that can be done if someone gets access to your email, and the importance of keeping work / personal emails separate. :-(
Yeah. I'm going to call bullshit here. Nobody has ever played ONE turn of civilization.
I go to Stanford. A lot of people were talking about likealittle within a couple weeks of its launch. Not startup nerds, people who found the product fun. Based on the number of mentions of it I hear about (including some people in my dorm posting >5 joking flirts in the course of 10 minutes while hanging out), I find the high number of posts and comments totally believable.

College students love wasting time and love interacting.

Also, I'm looking at the posts from my dorm, and I know for a fact that at least most of it is real.
Thanks for pointing that out (Express versions are free). You wouldn't know it from looking at that page, since the word "free" doesn't appear anywhere on it! They do mention it in passing on the next page, though.
My understanding of WPA2 is that each client negotiates its own key — so it's slightly better than having your traffic trivially transparent to all others on the same wifi. (I'm not sure if passive eavesdropping on the initial negotiation is enough to determine someone else's key, or if active MITM interference would be necessary — does anyone know for sure?)
Hi guys, I'm the creator here with a throwaway account.

Basically, most online editing interfaces suck. When you're deep in writing and concentrating, all you really need is a text field, and a UI that gets out of your way. Blogging engines are the worst: writing in Wordpress, for example, is horrible.

So, I basically made an online editor that gets out of your way, auto saves, and focuses on letting you focus. If you know Writeroom or Ommwriter, it's a similar concept, except for the web.

Would love criticisms and feedback! Oh, and this is my first major project using Backbone.js (the editing interfaces are all built on my fork of Backbone).

Things in the works:
- It works great already on ipad. I want to make an iphone optimized version.
- Offline support.
- Support to post to various blog engines, starting with WordPress.
- Themes, and better publishing.

But first a foremost, this app really is about writing. That's it. I want to make sure I don't lose sight of that.
It's all fear mongering as d_r says. Ironically, the WSJ app sends more data about a user (including the UDID) then the apps referenced in the article.

Should apple change the way UDIDs are given to developers? Probably. A simple hash of the UDID and the bundle id would get an app specific identifier but I guarantee that there would still be the same "privacy concerns".
How is reporting on a lawsuit "fearmongering"?
Seems to be true in the Bay Area as well.
Comparing light-skinned Americans with light skinned Finns is not comparing "like to like", it is making an arbitrary comparison based on false assumptions. "race" as we tend to think of it isn't a very scientific concept.

In a similar vein why do you prefer hex colors in shortened lowercase format? I've been partial to uppercase long form.
This is not a good analogy. Money is the obvious reason one stays at the "lower hill". Thus it is not a question of whether the person can stoop down from the "lower hill" and get to the "higher" one. It's a question of which hill is really higher (by that person's standards).
>I recommend you consult the available literature on Nietzsche's views on women

So what you're saying is that I'm right, there's nothing in that statement which shows anything less then the best respect for women, but because of other views that person holds those words, in and of themselves, are now /irreparably tainted/.

There is no talking to morons like you.

What a joke! A iPhone-only app, which gave usernames to people with iPhones, and now gives me no incentive to touch it with a ten foot pole as I can't have my online identity! It can be created better in a month and somebody guy recreated it in days and it was posed here. They don't even have a good domain and actually conflict with the project management app. They added payments... so what?! $4B is a lot of money. There centuries-old real businesses worth less - but they will still exist centuries from now - unlike Clubhouse! These crazy valuations should be put to an end otherwise they give no incentive to do meaningful stuff in this world! Maybe investors should recall Path.com's fate before wasting their millions!
There are several abandoned Clojure/Go projects out there, and I can’t be the only one thinking about how Common Lisp displaced arrays and multiple values and exported package symbols resemble core Go features. The catch is using type declarations to drive codegen, when so many types can be passed by value or reference. And single dispatch for methods, when CL tends to choose CLOS or nothing.

But my north star is to write REMOVE-IF-NOT and get the dozen lines of noise it takes to bubble errors and fill a new slice.

I don't support mandatory helmet laws because we have evidence that it actually increases the risk of cycling. Not using a helmet also only affects the cyclists risk of injury. Still, I personally advocate using a helmet when you cycle.
I like it much more. Yes, getting an elevator might take longer, but total travel time should be reduced. (Otherwise, the system is programmed wrong.)
Somewhat related, the classic "Respite from the OOM killer" by Andries Brouwer:

An aircraft company discovered that it was cheaper to fly its planes with less fuel on board. The planes would be lighter and use less fuel and money was saved. On rare occasions however the amount of fuel was insufficient, and the plane would crash. This problem was solved by the engineers of the company by the development of a special OOF (out-of-fuel) mechanism. In emergency cases a passenger was selected and thrown out of the plane. (When necessary, the procedure was repeated.) A large body of theory was developed and many publications were devoted to the problem of properly selecting the victim to be ejected. Should the victim be chosen at random? Or should one choose the heaviest person? Or the oldest? Should passengers pay in order not to be ejected, so that the victim would be the poorest on board? And if for example the heaviest person was chosen, should there be a special exception in case that was the pilot? Should first class passengers be exempted? Now that the OOF mechanism existed, it would be activated every now and then, and eject passengers even when there was no fuel shortage. The engineers are still studying precisely how this malfunction is caused.

I see that you have invoked ire with your comment but I have to say:
1. I have never even attempted to grok Haskell
2. I read the article, noted that the author never actually defined 'monad' even those he raised the question, and asked myself 'yes, but what is a monad?'
3. I was going to Google it, but decided to check these comments for some concise answer so that I might avoid some kind of Haskell rabit hole when I should be coding.

I found your comment to be just what I was looking for and written quite concisely. So, thanks, and haters gonna hate.
well, maybe gray then; it's not completely opaque. You know it's type, you can apply functions to the value inside. You can pass it around like a variable and if desired, completely throw it away. the point was to show that this is different than some bytecode.

I'm not sure about the head [] example, it might actually be represented by a pure value such as _|_ (bottom) which bubbles up and stops your program when running.

I've always considered it more related to craftsmanship, like woodworking, etc. Admittedly, that is also an art form, but of a specific type. Anyone can figure out / learn how to build a table. But it takes a lot more to build a _good_ table or, better yet, one that will last for a long time, or one that will best suit the needs of the person it's for, etc.

The skill set includes knowing what the different pieces you can use are (dove tail vs other corner connectors, etc), taking the time to plan out what pieces would be best, etc.
Right, or the SBIR program more generally.
> The article didn't say the reason for Fortran's renewed popularity. Anyone know why?

As a single data point, I'm more and more drawn towards Fortran lately. I never used it before this year, having done all of my work in various non-Fortran languages, mostly C, C++, Matlab/Octave, lua, python+numpy, and Julia. I'm quite fed-up with limitations with all of these languages, and it seems that Fortran has actually its shit together, at least for purely numerical computation (which is all I do and all I need).
Also, a heart attack is a rare event, and presumably one that would be covered by a real insurance policy.
He is talking about a very specific issue not about telsa engineering as a whole. The issue is wasting over-engineering small irrelevant stuff that provide no real benefit.

Trade War/Tech export control.

Also recent developments of TikTok's business in US is also a red alert. If indeed the regulation extends to capital markets, then YC's US investors will put themselves against greater uncertainty of guarding their investments.

If the Corp US are smart and watching, they need to reduce/spin off/get rid of their Chinese ties as soon as possible, because they might have to endure long term consequences if the conflict in between two countries get worse.
Blizzard fans would disagree. A small amount of voices has lead to massive awareness in that community.
It will be difficult to make any change in this to open up for alternatives like Google; there's so much entrenched interest/power among cable MSOs and telcos. Hence, the best shot at succeeding is just reclassifying. This would be fantastic, and flip a switch to enable significantly more competition.

I doubt that you need a dedicated "government relations team" in countries other than China.

As for ordinary public relations, in Russia they are executed by women more often than not. Editor-in-chief of Yandex, VP of marketing in Mail.ru, Director of PR of Google Russia are all women. I fail to understand why would you think this might be a problem.
"In a way", yes. We're talking people who killed their own families, and both Christianity's arch-betrayers (Judas and Satan).

Wikipedia: "The traitors [who are suffering in the deepest circle of Hell - me] are distinguished from the "merely" fraudulent in that their acts involve betraying a special relationship of some kind. There are four concentric zones (or "rounds") of traitors, corresponding, in order of seriousness, to betrayal of family ties, betrayal of community ties, betrayal of guests, and betrayal of liege lords. (...) the traitors are frozen in a lake of ice known as Cocytus, with each group encased in ice to progressively greater depths."
Doesn't Google Compiler do this for you?
By the way, the "safe" alternative in your post roughly describes how C++ started its life.
Yeah. She dedicated her life to her own likability. A never-ending schedule of official state visits and wreath-layings. Venturing into politics would have pissed off a lot of her fanbase.

I argue that because she focused so hard on being seen positively that she hurt the monarchy in the long run. Her son has nowhere to go but down. She also forced the British Supreme Court to invent the idea that advice given to her can be unlawful, and did not stay out of politics as you said: she was laser-focused on making sure her privileges and money didn’t get touched by denying Queen’s consent. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/08/royals-vette...

She didn’t want to have to wear seatbelts on public roads passing through her property. That’s being involved in politics; it’s just the public didn’t know about it.
>Fish raised in a fish farm is reasonably sustainable

It's not though -- thats the myth to be debunked. Also the parasites were disgusting -- farmed fish are slowly being eaten alive -- for every four salmon produced only 1 makes to the chopping board for human consumption. The others succumb to the parasites and are simply discarded creating their own pollution problems.

I didn't know this before the documentary. He covers advanced countries like Norway and Japan as well. So this isn't like some developing country who can't even get onboard with human rights or international law.
You've not been paying much attention to the Japanese nuclear industry. This is the industry that allowed junior staff to mix nuclear materials together unsupervised, causing a chain reaction:

It's also a total mischaracterisation of what happened here. This was not a case where someone implemented the feature and we were forced to go with they syntax for compatibility reasons. There was extensive discussion about the use cases, best approach, and so on. It turns out to be a much harder problem than you might have thought. For just one example of a subtlety, browser vendors find <picture><source> type syntaxes harder because they can't be processed atomically; for example:
<picture>
<source src="foo">
<script>document.getElementsByTagname("source")[0].src = "bar"</script>
[...]

is complexity that simply can't happen with srcset. Similarly one needs to consider the behaviour of preloaders in extant UAs; if existing browsers will start to download all the images that will create a much worse user experience in the short term.

I don't remember what all the considerations were here, but this is a much harder problem than many people give credit for, and certainly isn't a case where a single vendor controlled the whole process.
Hi HN, I'm Eric Hanson, the guy behind the Aquameta project (http://aquameta.org). With Aquameta, I'm trying to to break down the technical barriers between users and developers by putting the development stack in the database (PostgreSQL). Right now users edit data, and developers edit code, but with Aquameta, everything is data, so it opens up huge new frontier of possibilities. We're challenging the assumptions baked into Unix that date back to the 60's, that the file system is an acceptable way to organize the dev stack. It is not, and once you see the inefficiencies that the old paradigm has plagued us with, you can never unsee it. They are everywhere. By putting everything in the database, we gain a huge multiplier of interoperability and reusability, almost for free.

Here's an intro video from a couple of years ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0C8AsXNPAU

Aquameta has a functional IDE and is getting very close to a v0.3 release, the first release that users can easily download and install. I have a lot of ideas for how to monetize.

I am foremost a systems engineer, but I very much value biz dev as an essential part of bringing something into the world. We're mission driven, but missions don't get too far without the Benjamins. I'm looking for someone to flesh out the business side of things, someone with connections to the investment world, and skills in market strategy, sales and marketing. I'm currently in San Francisco. Hit me up at eric@aquameta.com.

Thanks for your comment. I'm creating RestBackup to save software vendors the pain of setting up an internet service to protect their customers' data. Every system takes time and energy to design, implement, install, maintain, and retire. The value of that time depends on the organization's skill set and priorities. I'm betting that it's worth about $20/mo for small businesses and $1/mo per license for software vendors.

RestBackup keeps your data until it expires. You specify the retention period for each access url, up to 60 months. When a file is uploaded, your account is billed for the cost of keeping the file for the entire retention period. I'm still working a suitable way to facilitate deletes. I want to be flexible and find the right balance between functionality and safety. Since this is a backup service, I feel that safety must take priority.
I'm tempted to start using this just for the novelty factor. Anyone glancing over your shoulder will probably assume you're an alien.

>the "masses" have simply become accustomed to the antics of the shock jockeys, and no, there probably are no longer any depth of depravity that an artist can sink to that will shock the masses any longer

Just the other day there was an article on here about some guy outraged about big breasted women in comic books for adolescent boys, comics about as wholesome as Family Circus in the grand scheme of things. A certain group cheered as GTA V was pulled from stores in Australia on account of their petitions, and they almost got Hatred banned from Steam too. Respected news organizations like the BBC publish such articles without the faintest hint of irony: https://a.pomf.se/odchri.png

If common people are actively protesting, petitioning, and colluding to censor art for portraying elements of the human condition as banal as sexuality and violence, we still have a long way to go towards mass enlightenment.

That said, if you can name any sacred cows ripe for the slaughter, I'd be happy to listen.
>> If you are looking for a locked-down consumer appliance of a computer then linux really isn't for you.

I enjoyed this paragraph:

> Tegnell, who is sixty-four and tall, with round glasses, has often said that lockdowns are not supported by science and that the evidence for mask-wearing is “weak.” His stance is a startling departure from the scientific consensus, but he maintains that if other countries were led by experts rather than politicians, more nations would have policies like Sweden’s. The world has been left gawking. American liberals were shocked that the country of Greta Thunberg could seem so scientifically backward. Right-wing activists in Minnesota held up signs during anti-lockdown protests reading “Be Like Sweden.” Within the country, Tegnell has become an icon of Swedish exceptionalism, believed to be excessively reasonable, levelheaded, and rational.
Static photos are inadequate for interpreting emotions. There is no context and context is critical for understanding emotions.

The pandemic caused this realization for a lot of people because much of what really matters in life was taken away: friends, family, food, health, travel, education, recreation. In contrast with these things, nearly all work seems pointless and unfulfilling.

If there is a bright spot to the pandemic, perhaps it is that, having had these realizations, more people will be inclined to create work scenarios that work for them... ala the classic movie 9 to 5.
