That cuts both ways. It's a great reason for government to want microservices, but it's also a great reason for contractors to never even present them with that option.
If it comforts anyone, Prince William went through the same anxiety and realized he was best served embracing the characteristic. I think that’s the best approach.

Unfortunately you have Hollywood and other lifestyle influence setting the tone for men and women. Sometimes in the guise of helping, they hurt people “accept being obese” for example.
For fun, I started work on this. It's still rather crude, and the code is hackish, but anyway: Comparison page:

Improvements are highly welcome; not just adding more clients, but also on refactoring the code, improving the UI (I suck at HTML), adding features... The TODO already lists some ideas.
We need more stories like this! It's not all about crazy growth over a year or two after founding like in the most front page stories.
Glad they smartened up, I ordered a top of the line one last year, opened the box... spent 15 minutes swearing as I packed it back up to send it back.

I have been a Mac guy since 2008, I wanted to get off the apple train and get a Lenovo as I loved Lenovo... only to find myself sitting here with another mac.

Replacing F1 keys with a touch bar? Really? Losing the Caps lock? No clue what they were thinking.
It's popular among the hobbyist / activist crowd.

People who like to talk about the "proper" way to develop software tend to like it.

People who run open source projects tend to either like it or bow to peer pressure.

But people working on in-house and enterprisey stuff? Yeah, not so much there.
Yep I was restarting the service, apologies :)
This is the the same New York City where the main industry is the transfer of wealth from the working class to the rich right?

So why am I not surprised when the courts do exactly that?
Some times, but not always. Not even sure if it's "most" of the times. "Right turn" to "correcto turno" is so wrong, anyone following directions with that would be lost pretty easily.

Still, amazing technology, specially since it's all client-side. Hopefully they'll have some contextual analysis in the future or enable Google Translation API use.
The danger is that psychopath with a gun is _really_, _really_ difficult to control.
This is and isn't bad advice. Writing your passwords down and storing them in your wallet isn't necessarily a good idea. You may be able to secure your wallet, but there may be somewhere better to secure it (such as a house safe).

Rather than writing the passwords down, use a decent tool like 1password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword) or Keepass (http://keepass.info/).
Not sure I buy the reasoning - but I will say I have seen a trend where previous unix guys (usually linux, some bsd - as per the demographics) end up going for the apple laptops just because of OSX.
So, can you, say, connect your mobile phone or your digital camcorder and view and edit the files to send an edited version to your grandmother in a Fedora Linux without fiddling?

If not, then "FWIW" should have been rewritten as "YMMV".
Many times guards will bring in cell phones and sell them to inmates for upwards of $1000/each.

It helps to supplement the (relatively) poor wages most guards receive.
>Researchers put out their best foot to try to scare the patient, who they refer to as "SM" in their write-up in the most recent issue of the journal Current Biology. Haunted houses, where monsters tried to evoke an avoidance reaction, instead evoked curiosity; spiders and snakes didn't do the trick; and a battery of scary film clips entertained SM.

The rest of the article aside: I don't think that's quite conclusive. After a few such trials, it'd get merely interesting or boring, and I have to wonder how skilled at frightening specific people researchers can ever be. On a more fundamental level, I highly doubt you can even perform an accurate test along these lines with a person's consent.

"People" as a whole? Easy, someone's always afraid of something at-hand. A single person, who knows what you're doing? Unlikely. Case in point: a little work with acclimating to spiders, and I'd pass those tests with flying colors. Haunted houses and scary film clips fall somewhere between mild amusement at the attempt and outright boredom, and I like snakes. Plus, snakes don't have legs / claws; get the head under control, and you're fine.

He was staring at it because he was looking for a shortcut that must make the problem obvious enough to be done in 10 secs. If you don't provide context on such tasks, that's expected.

Right on. "Company announces Y, but Where's Z?" is just like the "Is X is a Y Killer?" template that does nothing more than drive page views and indulge the author's preconceived biases. The tech press is the worst!
The opportunity costs are still there - maybe you can't do reckless things like climb Mt. Everest now, or maybe you can't risk your family in extremely risky startups, or... etc etc.

It's not zero-sum in happiness, but it is zero-sum in time and possibilities. You certainly sound like you've found a good solution to the problem (i.e., maximizing happiness, avoiding sinking valuable time into things that don't)

I don't think my original post was that well-written actually, and the point I was trying to get across is probably better communicated as:

- Every hour you spend doing something is an hour you're not doing something else.

- What you do contributes directly to your happiness. It is non-obvious, especially when young, what contributes to happiness in the long run, and what doesn't. Hermit'ing up and writing code like a madman for a week, for example, will improve your programming skills, but will also exact a toll on your personal relationships. One gives a larger short-term rush on accomplishment and accolades, the other is a better bet at long-term satisfaction.

- It is also sometimes non-obvious (especially when young) of just how much you're missing out on or damaging in your unrelenting pursuit of "winning". Your obsession with winning can also blind you as to just how good the reward is.

It's more or less a generalized form of something I've thought about over the last couple of years - human relationships matter above any material achievement. All the trophies, medals, and awards in the world pale in comparison to good relationships. And there are no easy hacks for relationships, they take a great deal of time and effort - and running an extreme "achiever" lifestyle poses an extreme risk to that.

I fucked that up in high school, and some of college, and it took meeting someone with a far better grok on life than I do to set me straight. I'm hoping fewer people fall into that trap.
Except that the incompetent woman really did deserve to be sacked. This guy did not deserve to have his money kept from him. He is also probably correct that some brainless automatic filter went off over gay phone sex.

Paypal cheats. Hard. End of story. The more money they can lock up for longer, the more they make. It's a great big moral hazard built right into their business model that creates a disincentive to operate fairly so huge that even Mother Theresa would have a tough go of it.

Squeak whatever wheel needs squeaking to get attention. Even if it's a gay wheel.
Finally, someone is inventing these.
I don't think speed of light is a limiting factor yet (if it will ever be) for DRAM: even as memory bus speeds have been increasing, tCAS/tRCD/tRP/tRAS/etc, the number of clock cycles it takes a RAM card to actually perform the commands sent to it, have been increasing too.

For a DDR RAM "speed" of, say, 1866 MHz you have an actual clock of 933MHz and typical timings of roughly tCAS=tRCD=tRAS=9 to tCAS=tRCD=tRAS=11 (measured in cycles of the actual clock). If you're lucky and the correct memory row is already open, then you'll wait 10ns for a memory request to complete, but you will regularly wind up waiting 20 or 30ns if you need to open or precharge+open a row -- and that's assuming that there are no refresh cycles blocking the request. This adds up to a lot of inches when you multiply by 6in/ns, not to mention a lot of CPU die area to optimally order memory requests & refreshes (you can have one in-flight per bank).

You're right that light should be the limiting factor, though. It has long seemed to me that we need to undergo a DRAM->SRAM shift analogous to the HDD->SDD shift. Drop the capacities a bit (factor of ~6 from 6 transistors/cell vs 1 transistor/cell?) in exchange for speed. I'm sure there's a reason why it's not happening (energy efficiency?), but I'm an industry outsider and have no idea what it is. If anyone reading this does, I'd love to hear.
The recruiters I hear from on linked-in use a shotgun method where they send out 100 e-mails and hope to get a few people to write back. Paddy, do you get personalized e-mails from recruiters?
>I think this activity should be regulated and should be an opt-in thing for users.

I think any possible regulatory hurdles that could be imagined will make life for anyone who does anything neat with wifi or some other combination of information miserable. The credit card thing makes me wonder.. like what exactly are they grabbing? Just the fact that a card swipe was recorded at the same time that X wifi radio was in front of the register?

Somehow I'm still not bothered by this. As long as there's no "hidden" information being exposed (say, my CC#), my response is a big fat "meh". Combining different kinds of public information (as in, things that any person could just walk by and see) doesn't somehow combine to become private information.

I mean, let's see what pieces of data we're dealing with here:

* Entry to the store. Public. Via CCTV, door sensor, etc.
* Items selected. Public-ish. (Recorded after checkout, some stores use RFID tagging)
* Location in the store. Public. (Anyone can see.)
* Time card was swiped. Public. (Anyone in line can see)
* Basic WiFi information (Mac address, SSID, etc). Public. (Anyone with a smartphone can see.)

Given the fact that all of these pieces of information are freely available, I find it impossible to call for someone's head or feel even vagely "creeped out" by simply combining that info.

Put yet another way, the information's always been there in the open, but now that someone decides to collect it, there's a problem??
I'm not convinced it's that broken, though - at least from the recruiter's perspective. I have no doubt they pick up many candidates - those of us that are more "discerning" as just the collateral damage.
I guess it's worth sending a thousand unwanted emails if you get just one conversion.
I thought this looked familiar! It is from 2011 https://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/kopf/pixelart...
> There are plenty of people on the internet claiming 5g causes covid, etc who are extremely uncompelling.

100% agree with that one.

> Any evidence of harm or a plausible theory of the mechanism for the harm

How would you create those? What is an usual way to find possibilities of harm?
The difference is that we could have prevented the wildfire by putting out the small fires in the first place instead of viewing them as legitimate activities.

Can we ditch the "treason" talk? It is just technically inaccurate. I wouldn't even say "insurrection". This was basically a low-grade riot at a symbolically significant location. Everyone should be prosecuted, including perhaps the people responsible for the atrocious police preparation and response. Even if the mob had managed to physically control the building there was no way that would have resulted in any actual change in the proceedings.

I'm not going to defend Trump on this either, but it is a mistake to think that Trump is the source of the discontent. He has taken advantage of the discontent but he isn't the source.
Absolutely, where that occured, and unlike Trump, both Facebook and Twitter has no problem suspending and removing accounts of BLM advocates when they made calls for violence.
This is a dangerous short term move. In the end it may create a division and popularize other social medias where this content and worse will still be available in an unmoderated space.
I don't know if "right bias" is enough to simulate my experience in traffic which includes trying to get in the fastest lane and also trying to get over to the exit for my exit. As well as when my exit is backed up a couple of miles but the lane I'm in is moving faster such that I have to block my lane to wait for an opening into the lanes that will exit.

Not very. The car's core logic doesn't seem to have been affected – which is understandable; I wouldn't trust your average non-specialist to write that kind of software, and this code all looks like it's been written by generalists – if I'm guessing the kinds of project right from their acronym, anyway.
I worked at a small company for a short period of time where we would run a "contest" on social media, but then our social media guy would just comb through the entries and find someone attractive, in the right demo, and very active on social media and just give them the prize as a way to generate more social media buzz.
No. I'm just a guy on the Internet. I'm not American. You're asking me to spend time. You presented some evidence. I spent time. I'm not convinced. Why would I sink more time into this? Maybe next time before you ask random people on the Internet to go spend time to understand your position you can spend the time yourself to make a more compelling argument and not just copy-paste random stuff from Google.

Why is this a question of "view"? Isn't the picture pretty clear? I don't really have a view here other than "someone is wrong on the Internet" ( https://xkcd.com/386/ ). And that someone just happens to be you ;) (oops, condescending again). My political views don't really align with much of what's going on in the US on both major parties.

If President X won by 1 vote, and you didn't vote for President Y (oops, ignore that's not how "democracy" works in the US, doesn't matter how many people vote for X), then I'm sorry but your not voting is what made X president. You can spin that anyway you want but it seems like a pretty universal fact. Can US presidents be recalled?

Anyhow, I will agree with one point I think you're making, democracy in the USA is really screwed up. Keep in mind there's other ways of participating in the democratic process, you can run to office yourself or get involved in the campaign of someone who resonates with you.

"condescendingly phrase" - I'm sorry. I probably am being condescending. It's age and my annoyance and disappointment with the USA. Really, what the heck is wrong with you people? Try and tune that out and listen to the core of my position. I.e. there's no credible evidence that the result of the elections is due to some massive fraud or conspiracy.

EDIT: I also want to add that I'm not shutting you out. I'm just asking for some sort of evidence that I can go look at and is going to be compelling/convincing and pointing out that asking someone to watch a one hour video (I watched a portion, randomly, and it had nothing) or to follow some random links (I followed one, randomly, and found nothing) isn't really the way to go about asking someone form an opinion or change an opinion. I don't think (in my biased opinion) that this is a situation where I'm clearly holding a wrong view, there's a mountain of good evidence to that extent, and I'm just ignoring it and sticking with my views. But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

EDIT2: I should know better than arguing with random people on the Internet. But like I said, this is actually important stuff that impact everyone on this planet. If you guys can't get your act together, who can?

EDIT3: Let's use my edit window fully. So you're saying the election was not stolen except there's no way Biden really received all these votes? Or am I misreading your original commentary? So it was stolen? Or it wasn't stolen?

Did Obama also start a war? I honestly can't keep track any more.
Maybe Hasegawa's interpretation has new implications regarding nuclear deterrence theory, but not how the author suggests. The idea that the nuclear bombings were not decisive factors in Japan's surrender does not mean that nuclear weapons do not serve as a deterrence. Nuclear weaponry advanced so much in the aftermath of WW2 that now nuclear countries can literally reduce entire nations to pixie dust. And the potential of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) all but guarantees that nuclear countries will never attack each other for fear of nuclear escalation.
> What about women? Mother's in Nazi Germany sent their sons off to war with proud smiles on their faces.

Is that true? I would have guessed that most mothers, everywhere, do not want their own sons in war.
I've never formally studied CS, but I can definitely see the benefit. I can divide my own (amateur) programming experience into pre-Haskell and post-Haskell. Before I started learning Haskell, I thought I knew how to use a good half a dozen or more programming languages. After I started learning Haskell, I realised I'd really only known how to use one all along, and that they were all fundamentally the same. I wish I'd had the experience sooner (plus, learning Haskell is just plain fun).
Just to be completely clear here. The problem with that talk is not the bug. That bug is legit (although it was caused by an inexperienced developer who didn't read the manual).

The main problem with the talk is that almost every single thing he says is wrong, except for that bug. He may have reported it, but he knows almost nothing about the language, and is complaining because he never actually learned Perl, but expects Perl to conform to his expectations.

The fact that he pretends he is correct makes it even worse, since it means he is spreading his ignorance and misconceptions to others who take it as fact.

He is like an english person complaining about the fact that pronouns are gendered in german.
Even easier, you just submit a help ticket online (and they included copy-paste text templates)
> SSH has a lot of checks to make sure you can't switch usernames in the middle of a login (go figure) so this was a bit tricky to bypass.

Go figure.
An approach that I just took with my underperforming cofounder was to give him a week trial to prove himself. The goal wasn't to actually get him to prove himself, but rather to show him that he no longer was a good fit so he could make the decision himself. On Friday, I said the following:

"I'm concerned that something is seriously affecting your ability to be productive with this startup. You and I both know that you aren't accomplishing what you're capable of. So instead of letting this grow into a problem I wanted to talk about it and see how I can help. I'm also afraid I haven't communicated my expectations reasonably. I'm sure you can understand my concern since this our entire lives right now. I don't want you to feel like you're trapped or forced to do something that you're not interested in. You know by now that doing a startup takes more than a 100% dedication. If you feel like you have lost some passion for it, then I want you to pursue what you are 100% passionate for. I won't have any problem at all because I know how hard it is to feel like you would be letting someone down. If I'm completely mistaken, then I want to be clear about my expectations and give you a week to make sure that you want to pursue this. [Outline expectations]. This is a decision I can't make for you, so I want you to think about it and starting Monday you can start to see if you're still interested."

On Sunday night, he resigned without me having to "fire" him.
Oh, ok. The article seems to be talking about designers as the user-centric UX guys, or at least that's how I took it. I believe that this is critical to mainstream adoption, but agree that your point is excellent as well.
I can vouch for the "do it for a living" route. Spent almost ten years obsessively tinkering with electronics. Started a career in electronics. Pretty much abandoned hobby electronics; I do it all day at work, get my enjoyment, and pursue more casual interests for fun. Although life still gets empty if it's just work/eat/sleep.
You're using PG's code in a trademarked/copyrighted environment (the domain is called exactly HackerNews). That's blatant copyright infringement, you should have gotten YC's permission before, not after the site went live. What you have done is illegal in both US and India.

You should respect the law and change the name or take the site offline until you receive appropriate permissions.

Please note that even licenses as GPL or MPL (that govern the Firefox code for example) give you permission to use the code, not the trademarks of the project. Ubuntu had to make a Linux package called "abrowser" ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/abrowser ) simply because Mozilla didn't agree with branding their modifications as "Firefox".
Hacker News, as far as I can tell, belongs to Y Combinator, which is a Limited Liability Company, not a non-profit. It may be something of a loss-leader, but it does belong to a company.
Use a proxy with a 10 terabytes cache, it should be enough :) You don't really need HN in real time anyway, do you?

> Getting built-in support for Eithers would be super awesome.

Wait, what? Swift has sum types (ie. enums), so there's no need for it to be built in.
For me, productivity. For maintaining large projects or building applications, I'd absolutely go with Scala or Python, but I cannot be as productive in other languages. R has performance issues, but once you know it, you can avoid them (see the recent dplyr benchmarks ~2x faster than pandas).
Not really a proxy - it's pppd in Linux with a vty redirected to a socket. More like a cloud-based dialup ISP that tunnels over existing connections than a proxy.
For me, the word "maker" embodies some kind of wannabe hacker culture (much like the "rock star programmer" crowd). Somehow in most people that label themselves "maker" I see more of self-marketing than actual technical know how.
"if the money runs out the data will disappear."

I wouldn't expect anything else - data storage is cheap these days but not free.

The same can happen when physical archives (private and/or state run) are not properly maintained because of lack of funds.
> 3/ More asian penetration into the US market will come from the messenger sector as both Line and WeChat make strong moves to gain a share of the lucrative US messenger market

I get that it's very hot right now, but is the US messenger market actually lucrative? Who is making significant money from it? My understanding is the leader in the sector as far as revenue goes is WhatsApp, which last I heard was on track for ~30M in 2014[0]; doesn't seem like enough of an incentive for a bunch of Chinese players to enter the market aggressively.

Given the pretty stark class and education gap between prisoners and non-prisoners, the difference in percentages between prisoners (53%) and non-prisoners (33%) in the "reads books daily" category is something I found a bit surprising.
