Downloaded the app. Don't really understand what its for. One thing that makes me hesitant to use it is the constant popups to create an account. Let me try the app out, and think about using Facebook or OAuth to let people connect.
I would prefer to keep control as decentralized as possible. To that end, I support sending loads of corporations to the internet governance meeting, as well as universities, non-profit groups, and random dudes with too much time on their hands.

It's fine for them to discuss things like improving rural internet access. That's legitimate. But if they get up to any authoritarian shenanigans, I want those discussions to get bogged down in endless arguments.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the two-slit experiment the "first" evidence that other universes exist?
Several years ago, my producer forced me to stop coding, because it was cutting into my time to manage, and I was frequently becoming "critical path" since I couldn't stay focussed entirely on coding tasks.

I do miss coding. But, at the same time, when I want to play around (at home), I'm not completely burned out on it.
Only tangentially related: how do you use the LLVM bindings on Windows?
Out of curiosity, how does iTerm2 help you more effectively use the command-line? I've seen many people say it's better.. but the features listed on the site just don't seem to be things I need (or things more appropriately done elsewhere, e.g. my zsh does completion).

The author cites mouse events, but this is something I've never missed (and never use it when I'm working on Linux). Is that something you use? If so, what for? You use MacVim, so presumably you don't need mouse events in your terminal for vim.

I should note I don't use a vanilla Terminal.app - I use it with Visor (http://visor.binaryage.com/) to quickly invoke the command-line from anywhere, and I use MacVim as my editor.

I get what he says about package managers. MacPorts really was something I loathed. I recently discovered homebrew and "breath of fresh air" covers it exactly.
This was my initial reaction as well, but I think that the works in question have very little real value. They seem to mostly be news articles and photographs, both of which are presumably created in large quantities by the newspapers. My guess is that the newspapers didn't really sign on to prevent people from using their works, they just saw a way to monetize something they already own and took it.
I think you overestimate Node's popularity, compared to other languages on the server side.
what’s the ongoing costs on the bmw like? i assume mx-5 cup is not hugely different from spec miata, which i race now.
Sevendof | Front-End Engineer + Embedded Software Engineer + Flight Operations Manager | Trondheim, Norway | ONSITE, VISA, Full-time | https://www.sevendof.com/

Sevendof is a startup focused on building the drone infrastructure of the future. We seek to make drones available as a service to businesses for purposes such as inspection, mapping, and search and rescue. Sevendof will operate a network of long-range drones which are stationed in the field, enabling missions to be carried out automatically.

We are now hiring a Front-End Engineer, an Embedded Software Engineer, and a Flight Operations Manager to help bring our first production system to life. Your work would be centered on developing the web interface for interacting with our drone platform, integrating necessary sensor and compute units in our drone architecture, and working to facilitate our automated flight operations.

We will soon be announcing new engineering positions within autonomy and back-end development - please feel free to reach out if this is of interest. We will accommodate remote work until on-site work is possible.

Some experts say. From the article:

"Americans must be persuaded to stay home, they said, and a system put in place to isolate the infected and care for them outside the home. Travel restrictions should be extended, they said; productions of masks and ventilators must be accelerated, and testing problems must be resolved. But tactics like forced isolation, school closings and pervasive GPS tracking of patients brought more divided reactions."
That's why we had tactical nukes ready to go to try to counter that threat
I'm not sure why you're getting modded down, I think you make a very obvious point. There is a programming language (syntax) and there are libraries. PHP syntax is not informed by much of Computer Science of the 30 past years, and it can't be fixed, that would be a new language. Frameworks can evolve and as long as the syntax allows enough, can be as amazing as anyone bothers to engineer them. This has nothing to do with how good a language actually is.
This is exactly the problem with so many HNers - they have no idea what they're talking about.

5 years ago, you may have been right. Now? You are so wrong.

Before bashing something, you should make sure you're correct.
PHP Core is not some Mount Olympus, if you have C skills you can contribute!
So what to do about mnemonics? What about keyboard placement?

> This means when the key combination is alt+/, the shortcut should be triggered when a german layout user presses alt+shift+7.

Really? The / is conveniently accessible on a US layout; shift+7 isn't. So this gains you the benefit that you don't have to change documentation (it is "/" however you type it), but much less usable on other layouts.
Alternatively, you could try to use the key in the same physical position, but - is already used for other shortcuts due to its meaning.
> SmartGit […] GitKraken

> I would be really interested in understanding why so many developers are reluctant to doing anything other than the Git command line.

In the spirit of curiosity, I downloaded the two packages. SmartGit shows me a document and outright threatens me to "deactivate". https://www.syntevo.com/blog/?p=4148 This is a euphemism for other people coming to my computer and deciding what I am able to do or not. I declined here. GitKraken shows a log-in screen before letting me use the software properly. It does not refer to the account I already have on my operating system and which is entirely under my control, but some other account which is under the control of other people. That account could be revoked at any time without my say in the matter and then I would not be able to use the software, on the face of it that's the purpose of the log-in screen. I declined here. As such, I did not even run the central part of the two software packages and cannot tell my opinion how well it would work, but I already learned what I needed to know.

I object to other people desiring to restrict how I use a software. This is fundamentally not compatible with my view on how I want to run my life, and that software/the people responsible for it have no business telling me. I will never consider these packages again. The software I have been using for years, namely qgit (a GUI) and the command-line tools, impose no such restriction.
Won't someone think of the monkeys!
Yup. But without the credit cards, it will be used only for crypto mining. :)
If it can be characterized as social anxiety, you might want to check out some studies done in Turkey with adults who experienced social anxiety (SA) and some with ADHD too. There were on an antidepressant that was supposed to relieve their social anxiety, but it didn't. When the two patients with ADHD and SA started taking Ritalin for their ADHD, it helped, and to the surprise of all, a positive side effect occurred: their social anxiety went away. Eventually they were allowed to stop taking the antidepressant; the ADHD treatment was the only drug they needed. Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25955266/
Done again with 18 patients https://www.mdlinx.com/article/methylphenidate-improved-both...
Neither study had a placebo control. Who cares When something works for social anxiety, it works. If people could wishfully-think their way out of that debilitating state of affairs, they would.

There are massive risks with Ritalin/methylphenidate. How to you ever stop taking it? Does it impair health over the long run? Will you abuse it, sell it, or smoke it? Ideally it could be used like training wheels, briefly, until the person got into the habit of not being socially anxious,and then kicked to the curb. I cannot say I recommend any psychiatric drugs. When people "try" them, they should be aware that it is easier to enter drugworld than it is to leave it.

Optional: If you observed Scott Staph's (Creed singer) 2014 or '15 meltdown, you already know what a bad result on stimulants prescribed for ADHD can look like. It was hard to piece his story together because it's a story of harm by pharma. Most mainstream stories left out the part about an antidepressant making him feel like hell and his attempt to feel better on Adderall instead. In childhood he'd had an ADHD diagnosis and was prescribed a stimulant for it. ABC had the details:
https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/creed-frontman-scott-st...

Unfortunately he got sucked into the BS "bipolar" fantasy world after that. The drugs prescribed generally do not work and each class of drugs has a way of making life exquisitely hellish. When I read that he was going for treatment, I figured that was it for his career. People can't function on those drugs. If only he could just get away from it all for a while... https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/creed-frontman-scott-st...
I just use Cmd+Shift+G (go to directory) to get around anywhere in Finder. It's worked out well so far, and I can still use ~ to go to my home directory.
...after Italy I think (and I'm italian) =)
I did not like the rhythm. Lots of consecutive short phrases. What works well for HN comments doesn't everywhere else? :)
Cars similarly don’t directly employ as they’re not sentient beings.

Computer production is just one part of the economic puzzle. The real question is what economic activity do computers and automobiles enable.
This made me think of Steve Jobs solution for the Mac team:

The Mac team they were all in one building and they eventually got to one hundred people. Steve had a rule that there could never be more than one hundred people on the Mac team. So if you wanted to add someone you had to take someone out. And the thinking was a typical Steve Jobs observation: “I can’t remember more than a hundred first names so I only want to be around people that I know personally. So if it gets bigger than a hundred people, it will force us to go to a different organization structure where I can’t work that way. The way I like to work is where I touch everything.” Through the whole time I knew him at Apple that’s exactly how he ran his division.

I was looking into this a while back, and I'm curious: does anybody know whether it's even possible to develop a sophisticated add-in for Mac Office? MS added VBA support back to Mac Office 2011, but VBA can only do so much. On Windows, sophisticated Office plug-ins are typically COM add-ins, which can be implemented in C++ or .NET and thus can pretty much do anything you want. Those are obviously not cross-platform, though. I believe Mac Office also supports AppleScript, but it's not clear to me whether that's any more powerful than VBA.
Sweet! We made HN! This is Gareth from 7cubed. In fact we're not restricting ourselves to mobile apps; yesterday we wrote http://uwchat.ca, a chat client for classrooms in Waterloo, and its a pure web app.

We're hacking hard on today's app, but if anyone has any questions I'll do my best to answer them.
So how do you explain recruiters who strip candidate contact details from all CVs?

I work in this industry, and it is absolutely all about preventing employers and candidates from contacting each other without giving the recruiter their cut.
I think from a founder's mentality it is 100% true that more people = more problems, not more success.

However, from a consumer mentality, more employees means (potentially) more revenue and stability, but it all depends on the industry. I probably wouldn't buy an airplane from a two man shop, but wouldn't blink at going to a dentist with only two employees.

The problem comes when the founder starts looking at things from the consumer perspective and wants to use headcount for appearances or marketing.
It means "British Columbia Innovation Council"

A quick Google found the actual jury instructions for this trial: http://www.scribd.com/doc/260138329/Jury-Instructions-for-El...

14 pages of fairly dense legalese. How difficult can it be to understand them all?
Good stuff. The general guidance we put in front of folks at bugcrowd:

Its important to note up front that Bugcrowd programs differentiate between technical validity and rewardability, in order to maintain fairness to researchers and organizations alike. This means our customers only pay for issues with impact to them and researchers get solid technical feedback about their submissions.

We’ve found it is not uncommon to have a submission that is technically an issue, but lacks the impact necessary to reward it. In other words, it’s an ‘acceptable risk’ to the organization. Conversely, we’ve handled situations where features were ‘as ­designed’, but turned out to be major security flaws that were fixed. This process has helped our customers determine what to do in those cases. If you’re thinking about starting a program, we’d encourage you to differentiate between these concepts as well.

The Golden Rule(s): If you touch code or configuration because of the submission, reward the researcher.
Here’s the detailed process:

1. Does the submission adhere to the terms and conditions? If not, mark as invalid and explain.

2. Was the submission communicated as an exception in the program brief? If so, mark as
invalid and explain.

3. Has the submission, or its root cause been reported previously? Duplicates can and
should be traced back to the code or configuration change that would resolve the issue. If that change has already been made, is in the queue to be made, or has been accepted as a risk, mark the issue as a duplicate and explain.

4. Is the submission technically reproducible? If not, mark as invalid and ask for clarification if you think it has technical merit. If so, it should be communicated as valid and you can move to determining the reward.

5. Will it cause you to make a code or configuration change now, or in the future? If so, it’s rewardable within the terms specified in your bounty brief. Issues with more impact should be rewarded at a higher level. Additionally, if it’s noted in the focus areas for the bounty, it’s worth more. If it does NOT cause you to make a code or configuration change, then provide reasoning to the submitter, and to the extent possible, push it to the brief as an exclusion for future testers.

It’s very important to consider the work of the researcher in step 5... If you think of other areas in the target that are impacted, or your security posture has been improved by discussion from the submission, we encourage you to reward it. If you’re on the fence, push the submission back to the researcher and ask for more information or how they view the impact. Remember, the researcher put effort into finding it for you, and it’s in your benefit to work closely with them and encourage them to go further.

The Golden Rule, transparency about your choices, and proactive communication should guide your judgement at all times.
I never considered this possibility. Could you recommend some link where I could read about the field and see if I have chance?
It is not really what motivates me, but it is worth informing myself before discarding it.
How is using a VPN different/better than tunneling through your home ssh server? Honest q.
My language uses left arrow* for type annotation, it is simply typed as <- and the editor renders it as a unicode left arrow. Assignment is =, but it is rendered as a unicode :=; equality is == but rendered as a more compact unicode ==. Check out:

https://youtu.be/__28QzBdyBU

Back the future, I guess.

* I wanted to use Pascal-style ":" for type annotations, but I based my syntax on Python, which uses ":" for blocks.
This is why humans invented contracts. No two businesses enter into a $1 million deal together without a contract to describe the expectations of the partnership. For this reason, no service provider should be "surprised" by the level of commitment required to fulfill its end of an enterprise deal, because all the expectations should be in the original contract (literally, the service level agreement). There are no surprises.

Also, (pedantic) in your example, $1m a year is beyond sufficient to cover the costs of two engineers and some support staff. Besides, realisically the biggest support issues will be problems with availability, which presumably will be network wide and not limited to one client. I highly doubt slack needs to hire dedicated engineers for each new enterprise client. Instead they can reallocate existing engineers when needed, and grow their total labor capacity as it becomes constrained.
I'm guessing in the case where parking is forbidden entirely at certain times there'd simply be a second (visually distinct) sign beside it as in most of Europe?
You only played with it an hour and you reached all these conclusions?
People won't trust the technology until people around them are safely riding in it. To be expected.
Good news, you can invest in my new startup where we are solving just that issue with a decentralized social technology blockchain oracle that will make and enforce these decisions, reducing tech churn and enhancing developer productivity.
Seems pretty unlikely to make it through the us senate no?
I really like your view of the world, that programs should be portable, tiny, and just work. The slamming of so much functionality into a zip file is inspiring.

Would it be possible to do something similar with Free Pascal, allowing the recreation of something like Turbo Pascal, except really, really portable .com output?
I laughed at that statistic the first time I read it, but it isn’t ridiculous. 80% of drivers consider themselves better than what they think of as the average (mean) driver, not average (mode) driver. Same for most surveys. People see how bad the worst is, how good the best is, and then place themselves somewhere above the middle of that range.
After riding in a Waymo in Chandler, I can say that it's incredible how quickly that apprehension turns to boredom.
Selection bias in a survey. Bad drivers do not spend much time on road, do not own vehicle, do not have an insurance on their name, do not even have a valid driving license...
The cool-kids answer to this problem is --- in very Tailscale-fashion --- not to have static keys at all. Instead, you issue short-expiry certificates, ideally from a strong root of trust, like an IdP that does 2FA. There are other benefits; for instance, you don't have to directly provision keys to machines anymore.
Maybe they’ve used software before?
I agree as well to be honest. After spending an hour looking at alternatives it is well worth the small price.
But today increasing the despots are living via media - twitter, Facebook and major news outlets. Basically in this case his physical rallies stopped but he is continuing the same by having daily live sessions. Berating news reporters and media outlets and getting away with which strengthens himself in the eyes of his followers thst he is the chosen one

In other words if nobody could hear him or very very few people could hear them then the damage would be that less right?
I am working on bringing my Honda Rebel 250 back to tip top shape. I have been riding a bigger bike for just about a year but want to get the Rebel working properly so I can sell it to the next new rider to get them into one of TK favorite hobbies.

Never underestimate the power of working with your hands. It has a wonderful effect on the mind. And when you are able to, get your motorcycle license. It’s the original social distancing machine, gets you into fresh air and the Rebel gets 65-70 mpg which will be great in the apocalypse.
Jordan was a horrible basketball player. Just look at that time he missed an easy shot.

Nobody gets a perfect score at anything, but on balance Musk is quite an engineer.

As for business: I consider success to be measured as product of value created and profit. Casinos and herbal quack MLM companies are highly and consistently profitable.
Loved your post. Thanks for writing it
That's such a great analogy.

FWIW I am (was) seriously considering moving to Wyoming or other net beneficiary of our own federal largess.

Noting your work in asset planning, I'd love to find a counterpoint to VOX's David Roberts coverage of the energy industry, with respect to climate crisis, renewables, governance, financials, etc.
I believe the "premium" ones are extended validation (EV) certificates. These give the green bar on newer browsers.

The $12 ones just validate domain ownership and not organization identity. I believe they also ignore the Organization and Organizational unit fields in your CSR and replace it with the common name in the certificate they issue.
As a musician I set up a MySpace page, but disliked the site so much, I shut it down. Soundcloud on the other hand ... that I really like and the API makes it much easier to incorporate into your site, something MySpace never really figured out (maybe now they do)
I'm not talking about any sort of voting, just restricting the inconsistencies only to answers from the corrupted authorities. If cryptome.org redirects to thoughtcrime.dhs.gov for DNS servers using US roots, it has the same localized effect as any current national dns tampering. All uncorrupted authorities would all continue to agree that the domain hadn't been deregistered because they saw no signed update from cryptome.org. (And of course an 'authority' can even be your local upgraded DNS server if you care enough about having uncensored DNS)

edit: Actually I guess I'm talking about a quorum of 1 for legacy clients (nationality of chosen root servers), and updated authorities/clients relying on the total quorum that's easily established before the domain becomes "of interest".
I don't think we'll ever have a good idea about what happened with flight 93. If the plane was 100% under control and in communication with other planes/ground control, it wouldn't have been shot down.

But the real point is that now no one would allow a few guys with boxcutters to take over the plane in the first place. They aren't getting in the cockpit, because that isn't going to open in almost any circumstance.

I know if I see some guy stand up and start threatening the plane, I will do whatever it takes to disarm and disable them with what I have available on me- even if I am outmatched physically by size or weaponry. I'd feel certain that if other passengers think that someone is going to take over the plane, they will help out.
iOS developers have more powerful tools than a task tracker app available to them in the SDK.
If your philosophy is so good you should subject yourself to it first.
I would love to see X die. Over the years it has become a very complex beast. But I don't think X will die anytime soon: Replacing it with something better is a daunting task, but it's kind of trivial compared to rewriting all the applications that use X.

Of course we can run X on top of something like Wayland, but we'll just have added another layer, and X will still sit on top for another 10 years.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm barely starting with rails. On Mac all I did was:

gem install rails;
rails new hello_world;
rails s

Then I watched the damage on localhost:3000

Rails has been fantastic. I'm a designer — I don't really have a background in programming — but rails has been incredibly accessible. It makes a lot of sense to me.
