I'm a Frost fan as well. My favorite is Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Wallace Stevens is a favorite of mine. His work has been described as "rigorous", which I would agree with. He is an inspiration to me due to his ability to straddle two worlds: his day job was mainly as an insurance executive, but he flowered late and won a Pulitzer for his poetry. I particularly like "The Emperor of Ice Cream":

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.
They're also often called "visually distressed".
That's probably to do with where the hammers need to hit the strings.

Different positions = different harmonic mix = different sound.

Of course you could move the hammers with long levers. But a simpler/smaller system is always easier to build and more reliable than a complicated big system.

(And it picks up less dust too.)
I'm just saying, we shouldn't be so quick to generalize :)
I think this is one of those examples where nobody's rushing in because no matter how you slice it, the product is just not that useful.

I've used it a few times and because the eco system is truly about hiring dirt, dirt cheap labor you kind of get what you pay for.

Beyond that the revenue model sucks - the concept of running millions of micro-transactions and having a little piece of all the action is compelling, but again because the product use is so limited it's difficult to make signifigant revenue.
If Nanos had the right bluetooth and WiFi integration, you could have "Star Trek: The Next Generation" style communicator badges!
"it's a Unix system; I know this!"
I've been a designer for 7 years now, and one of the things I did when I was first starting out was find examples of designs I liked and attempt to copy them very precisely. (Should go without saying that this is a practice exercise, not suggesting to rip off others work). The exercise did a few things for me:

- helped me learn new software (learned bezier curves by copying the starbucks logo)
- forced me to be really attentive to the details of design
- got me in the physical habit of making good looking things
- let me focus first on the mechanics before implementing my own ideas
- forced me to find examples of design to look at

I think this is akin to reading someone elses code when learning a new programming language. It is also a great way to study art, drawing by hand others great works. In graphic design, I would focus more on understanding typography and composition (what things are emphasized and how, I.e. scale, color, space) than on learning to draw. You can be a great designer with rudimentary drawing skills.
Or Sci-fi propaganda in a typical tyrannical setting.
I think it depend on which country within Europe...
That sucks, but it's not the common case. I personally wouldn't use even Sublime for these either as you can't do anything productive with a 30MB XML document in a text editor anyway.
Hmm, yeah. Any ideas for a less plain logo?
I could not agree more. F# has made me feel exactly the same.
Bazel uses checksums to determine if builds are up-to-date, but shortcuts the checksumming if metadata (timestamp, filesize) have not changed between builds.
Taking your South Park example, how would that work in your fictionalized world in the 90's? How does it get shown on TV and when?

There's no way your idea makes any sense. It's impossible to implement -- unless of course we have no private ownership and the government runs and pays for everything but I feel like that would be even worse.

Cable TV didn't want to run "offensive" shows because their advertisers wouldn't pay to advertise with them if they did. So who's going to pay under your plan? Who's going to pay to host all this on the Internet?
The magic words are 'phased array antennae'.
Thank you ! A good log terminal tool was really missing. Have some karme from me
Why are comments like getonit's getting downvoted on Hacker News now? I'm obviously assuming it's dwnvoted because it is appearing in a much 'lighter' font. But has something I don't understand changed about downvoting? Every article has several constructive comments at the bottom, seemingly downvoted for absolutely no reason. It's really ruining the comment threads.
As a French speaker it make total sense to me; it just describes it.

I just searched quickly how to explain that the semi-colon is somehow half a colon. I couldn't find anything.
One should set up a Kickstarter project to raise the $140k required (minimum stay is 2 nights).

Is it so you can find docs that you "deleted" by accident?
Works pretty well for me in ( Chrome, Mac ) but crashing aside its pretty damn awesome.
This crashes for me (FF4, Win7).

I would have like to have seen it working, the image on the home page looks nice http://madebyevan.com/#webgl-path-tracing
Thats cool to know. I recently made a choice of incorporating in California. I loved your response. It cleared up all the possible confusions in my mind. Great to know that I can merge it into another corporation if the need be later on.

Thanks
Open source and extendable software makes this argument redundant, surely?

We write good code (as opposed to quick code) in order to make it re-readable and updatable later; making the logic machines more dynamic and, ultimately, functional to end users?

Equally rock star, ultra-pretty code like rails (or even ruby itself) which writes 9/10 of the program for you is also a massive win for customers who get the benefit of cheaper logic machines (because people only have to write the unique/problem-domain components.)

also, I agree with DanielBMarkham, putting a TLDR at the top means I don't read the whole post (which was definitely TL...)
This looks great. We have too many markdown editors now BTW and none of them provide WYSIWYG like Typora. We really need an open source Typora clone.
Not sure your performance claims are valid without (1) profiling the performance and (2) accounting for the different access patterns/performance concerns between rendering text and icons. (That is, the dominant pattern in rendering text is rendering strings of characters in a line/rectangle, while for icons it's a relatively much smaller number, one at a time.)
Good point. Convenience rules.

But I was certainly trained to buy peanut butter instead of putting peanuts in a blender.

When the only source of food are giant super markets 95% filled with aisles of packaged processed products (be they generic or otherwise) then yes people are trained from birth to buy them.
Yeah, have hugely over provisioned disks for IOPS. Am still using public ip + cloudsql-proxy because the alternative didn't exist when I first deployed, but I'll try switching.
The concern is not the HN users.
Curious about the downvotes on this - I know I recapitulated the summary on the main page of the Wiki, but I thought I added some context.
I feel like there should be a contradictory meme along the lines of "Don't need 100 wrenches, just a crescent."

While it's doubtful there's a single programming language to rule them all, I seriously doubt the panoply of languages we are faced with is the optimal solution. At some point as a developer new languages stop bending your brain in new ways, they just become the same thing with all new baggage to deal with. I can certainly see where a person is legitimately in search of the last language they ever need to learn.
This is a team member/team lead perspective. So this may not be what you're interested in.

I think the team members themselves should be fine. In normal conditions, they should mostly be able to function and keep moving forward without strict and constant guidance. And we're all feeling some degree of pressure right now. So at least team mates should get that leeway will be needed.

A few points:

* Be sure to be clear with the team. It's reasonable to need some leeway, but just state it clearly. You may even get volunteers to handle some of your typical technical responsibilities. Good for them, good for you!

* Give other team mates leeway too. Odds are they are in similar situations. So if somebody seems behind or there are just more issues than normal, don't assume bad intent. It's probably similar to your situation.
The premise of 'benevolent dictatorship' is absurd to begin with because it's a living contradiction.

Politics, power, and hubris are inseparable.

Powers exist to benefit and protect themselves, even agencies with the 'best intent' fall into traps of self-delusion and aggrandizement.

We saw 100 revolutions in the last century, most of them 'in the name of the people' - and almost all of them failed and did mostly the opposite of that even if there were a 'few wins' here and there. Literacy and some kinds of healthcare increased dramatically in Cuba ... and yet ... we still have Castro Inc.'s totalitarian fist 50 years later.

The very authoritarianism of any regime which gives it the power to do something possibly good in the short term is exactly the thing that prevents it from adapting in the long term.

Also, authoritarianism tends to limit the scope of influence and authority to a smaller groups, which is not good for many things that require a lot of voices. Creative fields, research, even market economies have lots of actors.

If Hungary were willing to give 'temporary powers' to some person who was not Orban, for say 6 months, well then maybe they'd have something, but otherwise, this looks like a power grab Putin style.
Democracy can be called dictatorship of the majority. Problem is even communism looked good on paper assuming perfect people and conditions. Nothing you'd find in any real scenario. You can't guarantee you get the benevolent dictator more than you can guarantee the fulfillment of the majority's wishes. They both rely on "hoping" that the person in power actually does the right thing regardless of how they got there and what powers they have. And more importantly, you can hope that you are on the right side of that "right thing".

One thing democracy gets better than dictatorship is that it guarantees that it has to keep at least a consistent slice of the population happy, not just one dictator and their apparatus. What dictatorship gets better is that a single person's will and vision is easier to plan and achieve, instead of the many voices and wills of the "majority".
Yes there is evidence. From Pro-Med Mail:

"hee-pah" ... Is English your native language? Or did you perhaps study another language extensively?

I ask because "hee" isn't a likely pronunciation for "hi" for me unless it's Japanese that I'm looking at. Certain other languages, such as Spanish, I think might also get the same pronunciation.

But in English, it's pretty rare. Pronunciation as in "hit" or "high" are a lot more likely.

And once you've decided that it's "hi" as in "hit", the rest of the pronunciation just follows as "hip-uh". And yes, trying to spell from pronunciation comes back as "hippa".

"Hee-pah" wouldn't come out as HIPAA, though. It'd be HEPA or something, but that's actually already used and is pronounced "heppa" as in "head".

In short, there's no real good way to pronounce a lot of acronyms that doesn't end up with some kind of pronunciation or spelling problem at some point. And people generally just go with what sprung to mind first.
Hi Jasper :)

Do you think so? I checked the Go http server code and my not-so-careful reading seems to confirm their suspicions: it just reads from the body io.Reader, which doesn't seem to validate length. (They DO use a limit reader to prevent DoSing with huge bodies, at least.)

Now if they were phoning out to a remote server, I’d assume some kind of fabric or load balancer. But I assume they’ve got a local etcd on each node or something along those lines so it is very possible that it’s all local networking.

Though in most cases, outside of this use case, I’d agree that this is not particularly useful because it would never be terribly reliable. I know for a fact Amazon ELB rewrites the entire request, as an example...

My group at MUFG Americas and UnionBank is looking for modern broadly skilled and security-minded engineers.

REMOTE is fine in certain hub areas such as NYC, SF, LA, Charlotte, Tempe, Dallas, etc., where you'd be able to attend team meetings in person from time to time (most teams prefer at least weekly) after location-based work restarts.

Excerpt from my profile here:

We are building a platform supporting the pace of evolution of financial technology, to unlock new businesses and exceed commercial and consumer expectations for managing money.

I am seeking engineers with deep experience in, IaaS/PaaS platform development and operations at scale: specialists in security, ML, analytics, multi-CSP, hybrid-cloud, cloud abstraction, CI/CD for software defined infrastructure, data as a service, event stream logging / processing, distributed computing, etc.

We have global scale problems to solve in an industry that needs big changes, and the capital to see it through.

There are plenty of hateful and sociopathic people across the political spectrum. There are also people across the entire political spectrum that care about helping others. It's narrow minded and bigoted to suggest otherwise.
I switched from a Line6 PodXT to a Fender DeVille. I actually prefer less options, since I'm now no longer paralyzed by choice. The tube amp sounds much better than anything I got out of my Pod.

Having said that, the amp wants to be loud in order to hit the sweet spot, but it's already screaming with the volume at 3. I can't really get it to the optimal place without blowing everyone else off stage. Also, I never thought I was going to hurt my back hauling the Pod up a flight of stairs. I wouldn't go back, though.

I'm a full stack software engineer with ~4 years experience developing full stack applications. If you need React work done, chances are I can help!

My experience includes building responsive and performant user interfaces using React/Redux from designs or from scratch as well as creating robust APIs using TypeScript/Node.

Some other things I enjoy: modernizing codebases using tools like ESLint and Prettier, autogenerating documentation, optimizing build times in CIs, refactoring code, adding tests.
Yeah I remember reading about web components, getting excited and building a prototype. Then when I worked again on the project shadow DOM API changed and HTML imports were removed :| At this point I highly suspects the people behind the Web shit-show (spec writers and implementors) keep things bad on purpose as a way to get job security.
Love the pitch and the culture. If I want a job at some point, you will be one of my first choices!
> healthy and well run businesses following reasonable best practices

A business with zero debt financing would not go bankrupt during this crisis, but they would still have to lay off employees in the meantime, and those employees might "starve" without another source of income.

I really, really don't understand the need to bail out companies here. If the problem is a loss of income for the employees, then strengthen unemployment insurance. If the underlying business was sound, then it will start back up again when the crisis is over. If the owners of the business were leveraged and cannot sustain debt payments during the crisis, then they can go into bankruptcy protection and emerge with new ownership.
>It feels like we keep trying to get the exact nanosecond when something happens, but the only thing I ever see humans use that information for is to reverse engineer a sequence of events that resulted in a peculiar state in the system.

Lamport clocks do exist and can provide a partial or total order of events.
Not sure if that would've helped with your problem but such algorithms do exist. But it feels like they are rarely used (subjective feeling).
I don't know whether a smaller change means necessarily a lower probability of small blast radius, but the larger a code change is the higher the probability is of a high blast radius. Blast radius isn't necessarily going to be smaller because of change size, but the chance of it being smaller certainly does decrease in relative terms as it becomes smaller even if it never reaches zero and is still in absolute terms quite high. It's still a noticeable improvement and because of that still a worthy goal to pursue, nevermind the ancillary improvements to product/design/engineering/business coordination and delivery volume as a result of lower iteration cycle time. That's the larger win for me.

This site is flagged as "Sites likely to contain little of no useful content" by my Universities web filtering software.
Interesting idea. Though it took me for or more times looking at the name to get it right. It is a poor combination of long, difficult to pronounce and difficult to remember.

I went and looked up the definition, a manuscript or piece of writing material on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for later writing, which of course makes sense with your product, but I'd try to find a name which is simpler.
Wow. Thank you. I wish I could upvote you more. I have never looked into Google's "MapReduce" but if what you say is true then my assumptions on it were completely wrong. I assumed it was 1-1 with map and reduce. But if it is generating a set of unfolds into 'essentially' fold (is it? I only skimmed the first pages due to time) then that is a very important detail and makes the name a bit of a misnomer. Why don't people make a bigger deal about this - unfold, fold is not harder but it requires a different mindset and approach than map fold.

If you are approaching it thinking it is just a map and fold then you are going in disadvantaged and will have to unlearn that fact to properly leverage something that is actually even more impressive/useful/powerful than a mare fold o map.
Women don't buy heels to impress men, they buy them to impress women.
That doesn't contradict anything I said. My whole point was the government will have to impose hardships on the private sector once the amount of debt gets too large to otherwise service. At which point people will start leaving.
I hang out on /newest a fair bit. Interestingly, it sometimes doesn't take all that many votes for an article to hit the front page - I've seen it happen with as few as 3 if it's a slow time of day. That gives people on the New page a disproportionate voice in the site.

It's also great for karma, as often you can get in the first comment, and if it's halfway decent, everyone will see it and hopefully upvote it.
The tech reporter in my local paper made a great comment about the Playbook reviews.
He just didn't think the issues the reviews were picking on were either relatable or cared for by the purchasers.

The things that I remember about the reviews were that nobody liked the power button, and it didn't have a native email app. The email app thing is strange, and how bad can a power button really be?

I'n keen to hear what return numbers are like in the coming weeks. That would probably tell more about the device than many of the professional reviews.
Which made you go "errr..."? We try to get an idea of who a person is. Also, if they have founders in their network, or if they are just lazy and skip questions ;-)
You'd think after 10 years having model after model of aluminium built laptops, Apple would have found a way to solve the heat issues they always have... but nope, they still think it's a good idea to put the heat exhaust vent right up against the bottom lip of the screen where it is still blocked when the machine is in use.
Same here, would buy a in a second if I believed it would make me the customer.
Not necessarily waste, no. It just needs to be unpredictable.

I think PrimeCoin was a great example of a PoW that had very small but non-zero value.
