I'm trying to avoid Facebook as much as possible. Partly because it cuts into productivity. (The "rabbit hole" effect, where a few seconds of reading a blurb lead to a longer article or video...)

But I also do believe the gist of that study which claimed that people feel more depressed after using Facebook. If you're craving human contact, visiting Facebook is a temporary distraction at best -- and the second you leave, you're no better off than you were before. In fact you probably feel worse, because now that temporary distraction is also suddenly gone....
Thanks for the links. Dart had an uphill battle on the web, but doesn't need to worry about those problems or legacy on the server side.
That's why I have never found a single useful product on ProductHunt for years now. It has become an absolute farce that it should be illegal.
You are thinking of the unity player rather than the web player which has not been ported to Linux.

However I believe the games themselves are cross platform so there is hope.

There is an easy to install wine based port of the web player for Linux.
Strictly speaking, my mind is not aimless when I walk so much at night. It is the walking itself that is aimless. That is, I don't go anywhere in particular. Often I go to unfamiliar places, without any intent to arrive at an actual destination.

When I walk I generally let my mind wander, but while doing so often come up with really good ideas.

Not long ago I was questioned by a couple Portland Police Bureau officers. I expect they thought I'd just scored some drugs, in the end I was able to satisfy them that I just liked to walk around at night.

"You know, you shouldn't be walking around Crack Central at three in the morning with that computer. Someone is going to stick a knife in you and take it."

"Thank you officer, but no one ever messes with me because I look just like a Hell's Angel."
You must be terribly bored of all these "Why Not X" posts by now, but... why not the Nokia 105? I have the Nokia 100 and it does the job (texting, calling, playing Snake) just fine.

The 105 has even more standby & talk time per charge, allegedly, and I only charge my 100 once every week/fortnight depending on use.

Worth a look but not much cheaper so if having access to the internet, or having a torch, is important to you it won't be so appealing.
Can you provide any on-WP examples of people using IAR sucessfully?
But there is infinitely more atoms out in the Solar System and beyond... isn't a more likely scenario that the AI would quickly figure out how to blast out of Earth's gravity well and spread throughout the universe? It might accidentally kill a few humans in the process, but not intentionally...like a human crushing an ant when crossing the road.
I feel that is the case every November, December before Christmas and June. Times where a lot of bigger (work) projects are due and people are tired.
The problem with modes is fundamentally that people make mode-errors; they're not sure what mode they're in. If you've got users who aren't looking at the device, then yes, they'll make mode errors, because they have no clue what they're doing. If it's an unambiguous mode, and people understand the ways into and out of the mode, sure, you've got no problem, but those conditions are typically only met by system-level conventions.
I'll provide my third result[0] from my google search "evidence twitter used to organize riots."

Can you please provide some sources for this claim?

Additionally, this may help clarify some things. [1]

Have you bothered to look at the content on Parler? It's full of speech that is not protected by the US 1st, such as threats to kill political leaders and eminent calls for violence. There are also tons of neo-Nazis calling for the deaths of Jews and other minorities.

Parler need to remove this content. This isn't Google and Apple censoring political views. It's a demand for Parler to remove illegal content.
Yep exactly. Process is like culture: you always have one. The question is whether it works well or not.
>archaeologists don't take pictures to look good, but for documentation

Before clicking the link I didn't realize what this sentence actually meant. I think I do not have the skills to figure out why these stones are important. Makes you appreciate the works of actual photographers though so that's nice
Twitter is a private company. It's their platform. You use it under their terms. You can't force them to let you use their platform.
The government doesn’t need to do it, since it has been replaced on a lot of matter by corporations. Never in history companies held that much power on people’s life. Arguing for deplatforming because "muh private" is missing the fact democracy emerged to limit the most powerful entity at the time (government). Now that companies are the most powerful element of society, their power needs to be limited as well.
Isn't that called Pascal's Wager?
I much prefer it without. I like it like this
Oh, I don't disagree at all. My take is that Sony will continue to ignore their terrible lack of security and lay all the blame at the feet of the people who happened to exploit their terrible security. As you say, Sony makes a mess of security. I don't think they'll own up to the fault (or at least night all of it). As you say it doesn't matter if consumers mod their console, my fear is that regardless of this fact the breach will still be used to further argue against modding.
Look, all metrics can be gamed.

Take an existing project find all the places that link to each section of code and you have some idea how reusable things are. Tell people your doing this ahead of time and you promote spaghetti code. Ask people how difficult an objective is and you get a wide range of biases based on how you use the information etc.

The secret is not how to get the most reliable data, it's how to get the best outcomes including they way people try to game the system.
I had the same reaction, then I realized that, as a software engineer, I know full well that it's a very fair price for the functionality provided. At the moment, I have no need for it, but I can see how this is a 'killer app' for many, many people.

Then something else occurred to me: I had a coworker who would regularly leave his mobile phone on his desk, with the ringer set to maximum volume. He'd be gone at meetings, or to lunch, and the entire room would be disrupted repeatedly by phone calls (it seems he was a popular guy).

In a case like this, I would gladly pay $20 to provide Locale-like functionality on another person's phone. Maybe there's a clever way to market apps-for-other-(annoying)-people.
The reason is the platform vendors (Apple and Google, mostly) are doing a really poor job implementing modern HTML features into their browsers. The browsers, while continually getting better, and still far behind desktop. I'm not just talking about in performance, but in feature parity. I'm not sure why Google is having such a problem speeding up their development of the Android browser, as they have no trouble on the desktop. I suspect that the Android browser is made within the Android team and not within the Chrome team, which is a problem.

I'm also worried that because the browser is such a central part of the mobile experience (appearing in the doc, being opened from within any app), it makes it VERY difficult for competitors to gain a market, much more so than on desktop. Add to this that Apple doesn't allow competing layout engines and I'm worried that the mobile browser might never get to the point where the desktop browser is today.

The condition you identify as "IIA" isn't Arrow's condition. IIA in Arrow's theorem is best understood as the principle that only information on the ballot is relevant to the vote. The condition you cite is a much stronger counterfactual property: that if x beats y, then x beats y even if we introduce z. But this is not Arrow's condition (see Bordes and Tideman on this).
Yeah, I've taken the same approach, I've committed a few things here and there, nothing of note though. Seems people don't even get that far when evaluating me as a potential interviewee, though.
I think I added support for this, but I don't have the means to test it myself. Do say if it doesn't work to drop consolidated.db files now.
This was the best of the talks at TEDxCMU.
awesome - always wanted to try to create a vegan/clean meat ETF that isn't mostly tech - will check this out

HN also does not have a microphone sitting here for me constantly listening for me to say "OK HN, post response". It is running as a pull HTTP connection in a sandboxed browser. I do not need to imply any trust in them provided they don't have some zero day exploit running to escape my browser and hijack my system.

Just as if my location/microphone were able to be physically turned off on my phone I would not have to trust that someone isn't always listening in on me. If I can't do that it is not unreasonable not to trust it. There have been plenty of instances of these things being abused.
But usually these are 3 different jobs done by 3 different people.

Middle East nations have at least since the Obama era largely been left to their own devices (more than in the past), and operate happily that way. They're not looking to the US or anyone for approval.
I had a chat on the topic with a game dev. Essentially, the argument was that games tend to have original UI and interaction models. For example, a web dev can get away with a <Button /> and a CSS/JS framework and make spectacular UI but when it comes to games the creatives would demand that button to be designed to match games concept, therefore for a game dev to build a button it may require to deal with all the styling and button states that a web dev would never touch(because it is taken care by the browser or the UI library).

An average game dev would have much deeper knowledge on the stuff they do than the average dev that build corporate software since the game devs would de bespoke work every time. Sure, they also have assets etc. but in the gaming the originality is much more important since the product itself is meant to be enjoyable, not simply a medium to accomplish something else(like ordering pizza or keep track of payments).
I found this strange, too. They don't actually cover the fan as well as the intake to the cuboid. I think comparing to the single large filter would be more honest.
ok but what about the energy used to print and circulate dollars and the negative externalities associated with manipulation of those dollars
NPR has a very formulaic editorial/programming approach. They pick a topic and grind it for a month. Personally, I can’t listen to them for more than a week before getting bored.

Trump made that worse everywhere, of course.
To be honest I feel like most criticisms against any languages are bound to sooner or later be met with the response "well, this is how this language works, and if you don't like it pick another". If you criticize a weakly typed language for an issue that is solved by strong typing, you could even argue that they are correct in saying so, unless you come up with a way to solve it without types.

I suspect that the reason that it's so common to be initially suspected of being an ideologue is that there are so many out there, and they are very vocal compared to the majority that often couldn't care less. So if you don't come up with alternate solutions, maybe the tendency is to assume you're getting at the old trope they've already heard before.
I presume most people who use Bitcoin consider the wealth made from it useful.
That's three volumes... Anything shorter you can recommend?
Ah, the xBase days.

I wrote a couple of Clipper applications back then, started with Summer '87, enjoyed the OOP improvements on 5, but then they blew it with Visual Objects on Windows, leaving FoxPro as the only xBase clone around for a while.
> in house engines are incredibly inflexible, they are made for one game only usually and it's a titanic amount of effort to use them for anything else

Hah, one of the reasons I left the industry was I was frustrated that we were supposed to build the sequel to our game using a different custom engine intended for a different genre of game.
It might be faster to train your off hand to mouse than to train it to do all the typing.
I'm not sure reverse engineering the mechanics and custom engine of a game infamous for terrible AI, stability issues and bugs and experience-degrading optimisations provides the best starting point for making a new game...

Particularly not when there are properly documented, stable and widely used game engines your devs are probably already familiar with available for no-up front fee.
As one of the authors of Phusion Passenger, I've found Ruby to be an excellent tool for writing Unix server apps/tools. Maybe not high performance servers (the Phusion Passenger core is in C++) but it's perfect for servers in the low to mid performance range that you want to write quickly. Ruby is very, very, very good for writing things like sysadmin tools and installers. The Phusion Passenger and Ruby Enterprise Edition installers are written in Ruby and it was a much more enjoyable experience than writing such things in bash.

As for multiple libraries, each language has multiple libraries with the same purpose, Python is no exception. If you want to know which one is best for your purpose you can just ask on StackOverflow these days.

DRb works. It's not broken. There are just two issues:

* Documentation can be better. It seems people haven't worked on its documentation for a while now.

* Few people actually need DRb.

"ghetto" here doesn't imply that the stdlib is a horrible broken mess, it implies that some things are better split outside the core Ruby distribution.
I like having multiple libraries for things...Really, it's not a big deal.

Right up until the point you try to deploy your program over a large number of platforms. Sure if all you're doing is hosting a webapp on a server you control (which seems to be the main use case for Ruby), then it's not a problem. Once you start trying to deploy on platforms you don't control a complete standard lib becomes really handy.

That is one reason I really like python. I can say something like "install any version of python 2 after 2.6.2" and that's all they need to worry about. There is very little you cannot do using only the standard lib. No hunting for and installing third party libs with all the troubles that can cause.

Obviously I'm not arguing against third party libraries. I use and love many in python. But the fact that they are optional in most cases is really handy.
I'm not a GAE expert, but using the GAE memcache clone wouldn't be a good idea in this case? The low latency requirement should be met and it looks like that his data structure would fit well in a k/v store.
Am I the only one who'd stick with pascal? :(
psst: the submit button is labelled as "sumbit" ;)

Nice idea. If you can get enough people on it I think it could be really useful. I'd drop the 255 char limit, and put a space for a twitter account/blog url. And link the (user24) to my HN profile page. Also not sure that "join" is the right label. Maybe change to "Do Lunch", or just "Contact". Ability to edit your entries would be useful. Love the fact that you don't require me to register.
Have you looked at ebook pricing recently? Often they cost more than the paperback, and sometimes more than the hardcover.
There is no rational basis for claiming this was a trial balloon.
It's an Apple page promoting Apple's adoption of emerging standards. I've never before seen criticism of a browser vendor adopting standards too fast. In general, web developers normally wish browser vendors had magical resources to implement proposals the next day and be able to iterate them just as fast as the proposals iterate.

Apple is at the forefront of standards adoptions, Safari's got some stuff that other browsers don't, and they want to show it off! What on earth is wrong with this? Firefox has better standards support? So what? Are we claiming Apple has a moral imperative to create demos of Firefox-only standards support?! Or, is it the even crazier claim that only the "best" product is allowed to promote itself? If you're selling Porsches and you say they're fast, is this offensive because Ferraris are faster? Good God.

I've also never before seen anyone so self-righteous about the use of the term html5; there's nothing about Apple's page which deserves special enmity for its "misuse" of this ambiguous term. In fact, I'm pretty sure in the future we'll see plenty of articles talking about html5, just as we have in the past, e.g., scribd converting from flash.

If you can't see how a company might find value in illustrating how quickly it implements emerging standards, I suggest you aren't thinking about it very hard. This page isn't about why web standards are important for cross-platform compatibility. Criticizing it for not demonstrating something which is not is purpose is awfully silly.

The outrage stirred up by the last couple of posts on this subject strikes me as follow-on to other perceived "evils" by Apple, and seems to be heavily biased rather than treating this issue on its own ethically distinct terms. But then, that's what people do.
Shouldn't a fix come out with that announcement?

If they're offering a temporary fix, shouldn't they at least push that temp fix as an update, and fully update the issue later? This leaves the non-technically inclined out in the cold, and informs those who may not know of the exploit of its existence.

Just something as simple as removing authplay.dll for Acrobat and Reader, and even upgrading the current version of Flash Player to the 10.1 beta, just temporarily… anything other than just announcing it and not patching it at all.

I don't know if this is a standard way of dealing with zero day exploits, but it sure doesn't seem like a good way.
I'm guessing it had to do with the graph DHH linked to earlier today?
Great explanation, thank you. Now that you say it, it reminds me of how a law school lecturer explained that often litigation was exactly as you describe: there wasn't a breakdown of relations, but it was due to a bankruptcy/death, and insurance companies then litigated it to the hilt (which, rationally, they should do, so they know exactly what the law is, and can adjust premiums appropriately to reflect the risk they will bear. But in practice, the fighting and blaming is pretty unpleasant)

The meat of the case is the story of the previous agreement of the parties, so you could get an excessively jaded view of business if you assumed that people kept on turning on each other afterwards. In law school, every agreement ends in disaster.
At least there was only one draft of N.
I've been doing this with sshfs (Linux/Mac) or ExpanDrive (Windows) for years, with whatever my editor of choice is for the file in question.
Despite all the disclaimer's that this is some sort of loose collection of "ideas" -- the beginning of the report contains about 4 pages of FTC "staff’s key observations and conclusions to date".

Reading that is makes it clear to me that the current FTC regime wants to bail out newspapers and traditional media by erecting costs & barriers to new media and citizen journalism.
Why don't you try scraping book reviews from Amazon onto your own website and see what happens?
> US will be able to blackmail all the world's leaders to do what's in the interested of US instead of their own citizens.

I am very interested to see how much longer the world will tolerate this nonsense, before they eventually tell the US to fk off and get out of their affairs. Obviously Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, etc. are doing it, but I really want to see a whole stack (all?) of the OECD countries stand together and make the US irrelevant.

I think it would be pretty effective if they all agreed to sever all trade with the US, and stop using the US dollar for anything (gold, oil) etc. This can't continue.
I can strongly recommend buying the complete Calvin and Hobbes collection off of Amazon. Especially if you have kids.

I bought this when my son was around 7 and he absolutely devoured the books. He's older now but still goes back and reads them over again, giggling all the way. I love when he recites me his favorite strips, because they are all hilarious - usually involving interactions between Calvin and his dad.

I think Bill Watterson's comedy is completely on point and as relevant today as it was when he wrote the comics - providing insight into the interactions of family, school, and growing up while making you laugh. He's a comedic genius in my opinion.
Terry Jones, personifying GvR's brainchild, sits alone.

If you take Bitcoin as speculative asset and nothing else it's perfectly logical advice. Entirely depends on viewpoint. There is likely still some money to be made from trading it. But some of us believe that it will end one day. And some people are the last ones who paid for it.
While personally I feel adding features might be cointerproductive, there are probably two features that would gain unanimous acceptance: (1) removing the GIL - involving an unimaginable amount of work, (2) increasing the speed of CPython itself.
Yes! We are 100% HIPAA compliant
IMHO, it makes no difference. The more important point is to consider the reasons for having a (1) public repo and (2) hosted by a third party in the first place.
Specially when nothing indicates that cyclical nature has ended. It will come down again. So buying next up is less stupid way to get in...
This diversity thing is really getting on my nerves.

I recently had to do a job interview for a programmer, and on his resume he put he worked on some "ethical project". Then during the interview, he asked how our company looked at diversity, and how women should get equal chances and all that. He technically wasn't good enough to make the cut. But even then, I don't want some political complainer in my team.

In fact our team is pretty diverse. I helped hire most of them. But we hire the ones who technically make the cut, and look like nice people to work with. Hiring "for diversity" really gives me the cringes.

Keep your political bullshit out of my team.
i hope if someone have luck on this free lotto site, they post for us some screen about it, right? :)
Quoting Bryan[1]:

> It's not that he rejected the pull request...it's that when he was overruled by Isaac some hours later, he unilaterally reverted Isaac's commit. (And, it must be said, sent a very nasty private note to make clear that this was no accident.)

Rolling back the commit or disagreeing is and was not the issue. It was his attitude and behavior after reverting the commit.

100k of WHAT? :) It is easy for a 100k solid circles lines up in a grid.
Impossible for 100k mitered lines overlapping the full screen at 1% opacity.

In addition I would guess webgl would get around 10% performance vs native because it is missing a lot of useful API for that kind of stuff and has a significant overhead in javascript - rendering vectors needs a lot of CPU work and not having floats (only doubles) does hurt in use cases like bulk geometry.
