I used to quite like browsing KS in the early 10s. I didn't fund that many projects as I got burned by a couple, and a couple more were pretty underwhelming, but I used to like browsing it to see what innovative ideas people had (often my favourite were too far out of the norm, so never got funded).

Nowadays I see ads for Kickstarter and other crowd funding sites popup in my feeds quite a lot. The product is often interesting, but then when I look into it I realise it's an existing product, available now on AliExpress, that's just rebranded. The 'founders' of course give their 'story' about how they are tirelessly making this innovative product to change the world.

One notable example was a set of silicon lids for pans and plates as a replacement for plastic wrap. I saw the product, and was actually quite tempted to fund it as it wasn't very expensive (<$20), but it still had quite a while left for the campaign to complete and the estimated delivery was a few months away. I then found exactly the same product on AliExpress, for less than half the price, and it arrived before the campaign had finished funding :D
I suggest business class, it's worth every dime!!
There are living languages based on Prolog syntax, like Mercury. I think they're very useful if you want to build something like an expert system or a game rule engine.

Years ago, I would have loved a good prog station. It would have been similar to a good pirate station "back in the day", or even like a lot of FM stations were back in the late 60s/early 70s. But I've long developed my own interests and moods over decades and I find it hard to want to listen to someone else making selections for me. Especially as I prefer listening to older music and I'm much less prog-exclusive than I used to be.

Hm, number input is slow but once one is used to it it should be reliable. The problem of forgetting where you are (or being unsure if you dialed a wrong digit) is probably mostly down to the lack of any display of the digits dialed, which isn't inherently a problem of the dial interface, and indeed earlier touch-tone phones also lacked a display. That said, the slow dial speed, and maybe the slightly higher mental effort of dialing a digit, probably do increase the chance of losing your place, or feeling as if you have.
But it is supposed to render exactly what was written. You write a heading, it gets rendered as a heading. You write the number 2, it ought to be rendered as the number 2.
Isn't a single CCTV camera going to give you MB/s? To be honest I'm astonished that there are oil wells without video cameras. Or perhaps those are counted elsewhere.
As somebody who uses c++ daily and spends a lot of time compiling, I am really excited about modules. Unfortunately, the latest even unreleased g++ v11 and clang v8 only say they support them partially. Does anybody have any experience trying them out? Do they work,l and are they ready for production use?
A very large percentage of the population are uncomfortable biking when there’s only a line of paint between them and automobiles. Separated bike lanes (ideally with physical barriers) increase the percentage of the population that will be willing to bike very considerably. If biking is going to make a major impact, we need that level of infrastructure change on at least some set of major thoroughfares in cities.
LA actually has decent public transportation now, and it's getting better. it's also the perfect city for biking, with lower temperature variances, elevation variances, and precipitation rates than most cities. we just need to convert on-street parking into bike lanes everywhere, and we'd be all set (with protected lanes built out over time).

LA may have been the poster child of poor planning in the 80's, but i'd suggest cities like phoenix, houston and atlanta have surpassed it in that regard.
AI can work on real-time videos (see "ancient" techniques with C3D). A single photograph is noisy, a bunch of photographs close spatiotemporally are much more decisive.
> Try cycling through 3ft of snow or on ice... with snow-plows lumbering by.

That sounds like bad infrastructure, which admittedly is the default almost everywhere.
We all thought the s-expression syntax for Dylan was here to stay, too.
Small country, high density, etc.
There is so much more to cycling safety than this. Many roads don't have shoulders, or don't have the width for dedicated bike lanes. Drivers are often very hostile to bike riders who take up car lanes, esp. if the bikes go under the speed limit and if the cars have to wait at all.

Blindspots. Intersections. Parallel parking/parking in bike lanes. Safe and clean parking of bikes at destinations.

The entire design and build requirements of roads have to be reconsidered to make cycling/scooters first class citizens in cities. As it stands in the US, most cities are pretty dangerous for cyclists.
That's less than most Americans spend on food per year, without which you die.

I kinda have mixed feelings about it (and I plan to move out even further, since my job allows remoting.)

The thing is, money "lost" are spend on wages for people building roads, infrastructure, houses, etc. And this type of work more often done by local workforce, not some international company with bank accounts in caymans.

So... how exactly money are "lost"? Lost by whom exactly? People found jobs, which otherwise would not exists, and more infrastructure is built. Which in turn bring more people to live there, which in turn brings more local jobs (i.e. mom-n-pop AC/plumbing/electric company, Homedepot, etc)

And built roads are not quite wasteful too - as far as I know roads drive economy, not subdue it.
Current HN title “The experimental railway in London that never stopped” implies that the railway is still operating. THe actual title “Wembley’s experimental “never stop” railway line” is much better, as it uses the actual name of the train – the “Never Stop Railway”.

Don’t we get enough clickbait titles here so we have to make the HN titles even worse?
I agree. Back in my day most of the grad students TA'd and RA'd. No one was this entitled.

Great to hear then.
I was incredibly bitter too when my parents left me hanging and I had to pay for most of tuition and rent. But then I realized lots of people pay for their own education. I certainly didn't achieve the impossible.

They don't actually explain how to disable AXFR...saying just: "The easiest way to fix this issue is to re-check your dns server’s configuration file. Make sure that the nameservers only allow AXFR to subsidiary nameservers and that these aren’t allowed to answer AXFR requests."

In BIND, this is configured by the allow-transfer option. You can explicitly allow your slaves with an option like:

allow-transfer { 192.168.1.1; };

Or, disable all transfers by specifying "none;". This can be done on a per-zone basis, as well, though the global section will apply in the absence of zone-specific configuration, which I suspect is how so many servers are misconfigured (i.e. there is no rule in place to block it in the global section, so it is allowing all for zones that don't have an allow-transfer section). I just noticed that some of my zones on slave servers fall prey to this, as well, even though I know better. The default seems to be to allow all, if allow-query allows all.

That said, I'm not overly alarmed. Very little (roughly zero) sensitive data exists in my world-facing zones.
Not necessarily. Those "getChild()" and "something()" methods could, for example, return new objects. this is only the root of child and something if this retains references (i.e. member variables) to these objects, which I'm guessing was not the case in this example.
Some people derive personal enjoyment from answering questions.

I know this won't be a popular response, but there are so many problems of greater significance (sexist or otherwise) to worry about than the pronoun usage of your outdated textboook in your outdated cs introduction.

Is it distasteful? Sure. Is it tactful or responsible? Not very, on either count. Was it intended to hurt anyones feelings? Probably not. Will it prevent this person from reaching their maximum potential, professional or otherwise? Probably not.

I wonder how many more Oracle will do? They have been consolidating the market pretty heavily. Maybe they will make 1 or 2 really big ones rather then a bunch of smaller ones? Who is left for them to buy?
We've been working on this for about three months, and Facebook's team -- both engineering and especially product -- have been closely involved.

The IP initiatives are important to Facebook, and they appear to invest a lot of effort in each one as it reflects on their strategic view of the web.

Can Advise pins are in a funny state right now. We had a feature in place called TripFriends which allowed you to message friends directly to ask questions, but we need to reintegrate it into the rest of the IP experience.

There is a much, much better way to add pins. Add the Cities I've Visited app (also from my team): http://apps.facebook.com/tripadvisortravelmap/

She was young when she made this choice. To suggest that she should be liable for the rest of her life for this decision is crazy. Student loans should be dischargeable under bankruptcy, or should be debt that one can negotiate with the lender. There's something wrong with allowing mortgage and credit card debt to be discharged by people who buy McMansions or go on vacations, but not to some poor girl wanting to get a college education.
If the law were changed to allow student loans to be discharged, then it would have the effect of lenders having to verify that the borrower would have a reasonable chance of paying the loan back. This would involve looking at the tuition costs and the expected salary that the degree in question would provide. If that were the case, there would be no way any lender would allow this girl (and the thousands of others like her) from pursuing such a degree at such a high cost. As a result, she (and others) would not have been able to attend college, thus decreasing enrollment nationwide, resulting in universities decreasing tuition in order attract sufficient students.

Supply and demand should be what determines the cost of any degree program. As long as the demand side is subsidized by the government through loans and debt that cannot be negotiated/discharged later on, then tuition costs will continue to rise and young lives will continue to be ruined.
That's another choice, of course. I'm in my lazy era. I don't tune/fix anything up unless it's broken :)

Since Armbian doesn't write to the SD card too much anyway, keeping the box compact is the more attractive option for me, for now.

High Endurance SD cards are not exactly expensive anyway. With the rise of dash cams and Go Pros, every major manufacturer has clearly labeled HE SD cards.
Maybe he needed to get that off his chest. Maybe that’s part of what people do on mailing lists, public or not. I don’t think everything that one posts is supposed to be rigorous, even though anything a person with a certain amount of fame writes in public can draw the ire of the whole internet against them with one off-hand sentence or paragraph.

There’s not much to discuss here. Just accusations of propoganda.
> If the zig and rust creators understand that then they should stop measuring their success as a percentage of the size of their user base to the size of C’s user base ...

Please provide a source for these alleged success criteria.
The profiles seem more propagated by Keirsey Temperament type material (e.g. Please Understand Me). Their existence could be viewed as more of a downside of MB relative to Big 5 because they exaggerate the meaning of the measurement and/or category. { These profiles "read a lot into" the various categories - as do all the English names for axes/groups. }

EDIT1: Also B5 just names 5 axes instead of MB naming (4*2) groups which always bugged me. Beyond that, because B5 does not discretize, it puts the measurement error center stage. Emphasizing measurement error is a major positive for something already so vague.

EDIT2: Also, while situation, context, how well you slept, or whatever absolutely matter, I believe this vagueness underwrites much of the "MB is pseudoscience" hostility. To some, it's so vague as to be meaningless jibber-jabber. To others, it's specific enough to be just on this side of the "science" line. Even if you think it is science, science can clearly be misapplied by those who don't understand it, and this "science" probably is..a lot (as bemoaned by the article).

As the author @dyno-might points out in fledgling steps to harden the ideas, there could be an intermediate 'x' value for each of the 4 axes. He does not say how far out from the mean one has to be "to not be in 'x'". Far enough out for each of the 4 and, boom, 99% of people are XXXX. At that point, the tests become only outlier detectors (again modulated by other, unmeasured variables) discriminating only 1% of people. Note 0.317 is also about outside 1 standard deviation for a normal curve and assuming independence, for simplicity of the example, 0.317*4 = .01. At 1.25 SDs that goes to 0.002. (Not random values - @dyno-might's distributions looked a little platykurtic.) So, it might easily be the test is only very informative (i.e. maybe predictive) for a tiny fraction of people - so not exactly unscientific, but also not exactly very useful if "over-concluding" is likely for 99% to 99.9% of the "modal" test takers. Textual profiles (or book chapters!) can take that over-concluding from just binning up a few notches.
You might consider how you connected with the acquirer. Did they find you? Were you shopping your project to buyers? Are they the only game in town, considering what your project offers?

It sounds like you're not excited by the deal. If you can sustain the status quo for a while more, I'd advise you to ask for more than you really want and be ready to walk away.

Although, many links to data are broken, that is very frustrating...
Upskilling is always a good thing to do, but don't always expect a job out of it. The reality is most developer jobs are pretty bog standard webdeveloper roles. Webdev is in serious demand because thats where most companies need a developer.

If you want an embedded developer job for example, arguably its more complex and closer to silicon, but there are significantly less jobs and from what I've seen webdev pays better anyway

It's an annoying metaphor anyway. If you've defined a swan as a particular type of white bird, it's impossible for a black swan to ever come. "Black swan" is just a tautological term for new thing we've never seen before, but pretending to be a term for known thing that suddenly behaved differently.

Sometimes things happen that, in order to make money or cut costs, we convinced people were impossible.

Great Depression was in the epoch of fiat money and most likely was a result of inflating money supply during 1920s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_Great_Depression#...).

Do you know about a deflationary spiral when gold was the money? (Almost all the history before 20th century).
The code was written by outsourced people. And yes - another developer already talked about a rewrite, but it was postponed. Thing is, if we postpone and add lots of features, it will cost more to do it later!
We can always rewrite portions of it, and make it more stable, but I truly believe in a rewrite - while the project is "young".

Another factor is the lack of budget in the project =/
It's expensive for starters and the bed is small and odd.
If you want to win against a view, select a leader from your pocket, make him look plausible and make him take control of the whole view. At any point you desire, let that person discredit himself and take the whole view down.

Here, your view "to provide a free speech public platform" is under attack because such platforms would give people freedom and power. We are about to separate people from freedom. So-called "white" people will go first (they still have some power), the others will follow. Technological evolution is brutal.
I've also noticed a trend of college graduates who in interview struggle with general software engineering practices and more fundamental coding skills and CS knowledge, but have knowledge and proficiency of ML. If you're a CS BA or MS, and don't plan to do an ML PhD, I'd suggest asking yourself if you want a data science job or a software engineering one. If the latter, remember to focus more on that. Surface knowledge of ML is a bonus, but the rest is more important.
Adam Neumann jacked $10B in funding from dumb, rich, foreign investors (SoftBank). Over 80% of that money was pumped into salaries and domestic real-estate deals.

> So the ancient WPS printer in my garage is entirely unsupported without deploying a computer running Windows or macOS, installing Chrome, and registering a "classic printer"

I think the support text is wrong—you could do this on Linux as well. It'll be a moot point though when Cloud Print shuts down.

> Why is CUPS gimped so badly on ChromeOS?

Have you tried recently? I don't think it is anymore. Yesterday my Chromebook seemed to just see my printer on my local LAN (via Rendezvous, I assume).

I agree these product/support docs you linked are pretty alarming. But I think the actual situation is (or if not is, will be) much better for basic ChromeOS in simple situations:

* auto-discovered network-connected printer on the same LAN as the Chromebook

* network-connected printer where you know the hostname and it's reachable from the Chromebook

* USB printer connected directly to the Chromebook

Hopefully those docs will improve soon...

Note that while I work for Google, I don't have any inside knowledge of this.
This is a great way to describe it. I love any Fountainhead reference.
My understanding was that voice transcription was stuck at around 95% accuracy (one word in twenty wrong!), and wiki says only 80% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition#Performance
Of course, you'll do far better in severely curtailed domains (eg. recognizing digits, since there's only 10).

Is there other evidence for voice transcription improvement? Otherwise, this sounds a bit like "AI is just around the corner".
It said "world record" not "technological breakthrough." The Guiness Book of World Records lists things like the world's largest candy bar or world's largest taco, not anything like significant technological breakthroughs.
I saw Dan demo this at a conference a while ago. I also watched Don Knuth critique it. Fun stuff.

As a colorblind myself, I can think of at least one situation where this app might be very useful. My young daughter asks me all the time what color the objects she is interacting with are. About half the time I don't know the answer. Maybe with this app and some practice I can save myself the embarrassment.

By the way, in the sample tests shown on the article, while the app allows me to easily distinguish the number in the first picture, I can barely make out the number in the second picture even after it is enhanced by the app. So maybe the app could use some improvement or the settings needed for me could be different from the default ones.
I just installed i386 _Braid_ (which was the main reason I bought it). It plays without a glitch or problem so far, and seems smooth enough.
This seems very likely. The first example that sprung to mind (I don't know why) was a robot card dealer. I imagined it shuffling and dealing the cards in the blink of an eye, and my immediate emotional response is creepy and untrustworthy. Interesting.

But these are writers speaking as writers, not members of the general public. Their criticisms of state-backed surveillance should therefore be different than the generalized chilling of expression felt by the public at large. Writers have always known their words are inspected. The public, those who previously did not expect their communications to be monitored, they have far more to fear from electronic surveillance.

The OP, and several commentators here, also conflate fear of surveillance with fear of the burgeoning police state. They are different concepts. A police state can/will attack a journalist without any surveillance beyond a police officer reading a newspaper.
