Aren't the trigger warnings a DIY treatment themselves? In the absence of specific professional advice, I'd think the default would be to treat people normally. Why are we so eager to put trigger warnings on things without any evidence that they're doing more good than harm?
Expected caching behaviour is as important as idempotency IMHO, and too often ignored.
It's probably more like a year with actual support and updates, two years where it's left to whither and slowly die, and then a year of notice before sunsetting it.
What's annoying for me was that I was redirected to the "sign up for when the app is released" page, but if I fake the user agent I get a very nice, very usable calm.com that works out of the box with my phone.

Why, why must you force me towards your app? At max, serve the web page first, then suggest the app to me.
Wait what? There's no land value tax in USA ?

We have it here in Denmark, and I believe it's very wrong. It effectively means that you cannot own land here. You can only buy the privilege to rent it from the state, it is never yours, and if your source of income goes away, and you cannot pay the rent, the land is taken away from you.
I also love that quote, but I believe it is "There, but for the grace of god, go I".

One of the best things that ever happened to me was becoming a member of a group that I was previously prejudiced against.
First I thought that Telegram makes bots available online for users without Telegram, but it seems that they only have added a webview to Telegram.

It helped me when I realized that I am jealous of almost everyone, but I always compare my weakness to their strengths. Now when I'm jealous, I just say to myself "I'm focusing on their best attributes, I'm sure I'm better than them in other things", and the jealousy quickly fades away.
Sierra was F-in amazing! They did King's quest and a lot of others. But of course, they were mot known (back in that day) for Leisure Suit Larry...

Me too! I still drink a cup of latte at about 1pm every day. However, it's not because I can't wake up but because I just like the process, the taste and aroma. I also drink coffee when I have a headache. I know that caffeine can trigger a headache, however, I have migraine issues, so as https://www.canadadrugsdirect.com/online-pharmacy stated, this is the drink that can on the contrary help to prevent an attack.
You are pretty limited if you don’t think that a short squeeze occurred when an activist investor brute forced his way onto a board by buying shares. Not to mention tens of thousands of teenagers taking the opposite end of the trade whether they knew it or not. The percent of shares sold short is verifiable. If you know know how the basic arithmetic necessary to realize how the short squeeze conditions were there then... who is unintelligent again?

Also who makes a throwaway to call HN stupid?
As far as I know those two are equivalent. Definitely slightly clunkier, but is what it is.
I think the crux of it is how much time you spend in the command line on your local machine. If it is substantial then picking a shell you're productive in is little different to picking a graphical desktop environment (knowing that your colleagues could be running a different DE, or even OS). If the majority of your time in the command line is on other peoples machines and/or servers, then you're unlikely to see much, if any, gains picking an alternative shell on your local machine.

With regards to murex specifically, there's nothing stopping it from running on servers but pragmatically that's an unrealistic domain to target. What I'm focusing more on is a better experience for running DevOps / developer tools on an engineers local machine. The cost of that is portability - which is, understandably, a deal breaker for lots of people.
I am tackling a similar problem at [the Cutt Newsletter](https://cutt.co).

I have taken a slightly different tactic than you. I am trying to surface actionable trade ideas from the social media mentions. Can I predict a stocks price trend from social media discussion?

I think that takes two forms:

1. Real-time alerts to stocks that are moving outside their normal 'mention' bands. Most times social media discussion of a stock is following public news. For example, a company releases earnings and the social media discussion is about those earnings. In that case, the 'mentions' rate will always trail the actual news. But, in some cases, an increase in mention rate is preceding price changes that day -- I am detecting that in real-time (sometimes, so far).

2. Over a long time (months, years) a company's social media mention rate will go up or down. A long-term trend (either positive or negative) could say something about the long-term financial prospects of the company. That could be tradable.
Very unlikely. It would not be economical to finish it even at the estimated cost left when they abandoned it, and since then it's been degrading in place.
In C# and Unity, you have the class attribute "RequireComponent" which will automatically add the dependent "MonoBehaviour" when this one is added:

[RequireComponent(typeof(RigidBody))]
public class MyObject : MonoBehavior { /* ... */ }

This is not really in the type system, but still, if your language provide some meta-programing features, it can help the developer makes sense of your code.

This kind of dependency is not a "type dependency" IMHO, since the data are independent of each other. It's more like a "logic dependency", where the logic of one System requires the logic of another System.

It is the systems you want to apply to an entity that will dictate what components it needs.

Since it can change during runtime, this cannot be statically typed.
I can’t imagine the seat pitch in economy on any airliner is nearly large enough to permit rotation.

Removing even a single row of seats is probably worse for airline economics than the amount by which it would speed boarding or add flexibility. (US law also prohibits car seats from being installed in rear-facing seats in aircraft; that law I think is a slight detriment to safety, but it is the law.)
Not GP, but I'm currently using Vimium under Firefox. I've also heard of Vimperator and Tridactyl but never tried them.

If you're willing to ditch the mainstream browsers, there's Nyxt. For browsing static wikis from a tty, there's ELinks.
Oh yes, that makes sense. Thanks!
You mean, I already had a Docker in 1997?
I'm surprised as well, I would've intuitively leaned towards pronouncing it more like "cog" than "cock". Like in Coq au Vin, but I guess that cannot be ordered in the US, gotta go for rooster in wine (or freedom rooster?) to make sure nobody gets upset when their mind's first interpretation of a sound is "penis".
I gave up and just ran ANSI.

I take offense at this statement:

> The point of science is not the holy grail but the quest

If the quest is the point, you can do that anywhere, anytime, without regard of the outcome. The point is a glimpse of the truth. How we get there is largely irrelevant.
I like the default Mac US/International English/British layouts (they're almost the same as each other). Mac users are graced by an OS that actually uses the Option (Alt) key on every letter to do something useful. You can type all manner of diacritics and such without using a non-standard layout! It works great for English, German, Swedish, Spanish, French, and perhaps more.

I only wish there was good support for it on Linux and Windows. I will eventually contribute a patch to xkb to fix its version of this.
It's a simple, 1-bit image format, used by MS Paint before it switched to BMP.

Yes. You have to dig a bit to find these APIs, and they are OS-specific (and the scan codes reported by the OS are OS-specific too, even though most keyboards are USB HID these days).

Here is the function for macOS:

Well, higher quality audio is feasible to stream from a technical perspective. It's just that YouTube does not prioritize that. They likely care more about video experience.

So I would bet that any major audio-oriented streaming service beats YouTube on quality.

I tend to think as YouTube as more useful for discovery. At that, it is very good. If I decide I like something I will listen to it elsewhere with better quality.
I'll try to share some examples in a bit. Short reason this approach is "lossy": it's a huge game of telephone. Translation retains most of the translated concept, but not all of the concept's subtleties. The farther removed we get from the original, the less faithful the translation. We see this most clearly where it takes a paragraph of English to start to communicate the meaning contained in one word from some languages.

Simple example: translate namaste into one English word.

I come at this from a context of living in Alaska, and seeing firsthand the value of language retention, and the tragedy of language loss. I've also had great benefit from digging into other cultures' world views, and each of those experiences was heavily dependent on paying attention to the nuances of older languages. These concepts are hard to grasp if this whole topic is approached from a strictly academic context.
But that's why we've got oversampling. The higher sample rate can be in the conversion stage, it doesn't have to be in the transmission format.
In my experience, at the hiring level gender bias works towards normalizing the current skew of modalities. It is after hiring, when growing leaders and assigning responsibilities that bias is more often clear.
> Honestly, given that you can chew it if you have a medical prescription, no great loss.

This is not accurate. Sugar-free chewing gum (which supposedly has a dental benefit) may be purchased at pharmacies, without a prescription. It is not an offence in Singapore to chew gum, nor is it culturally unaccepted.
Here is a graph depicting desire for accuracy on Hacker News then: http://f.cl.ly/items/0f471x1F3Q063q0Z1e1Z/hn-graph.jpg
I don't think cultures are that different. It's a question of education and enforcement.

I see people spitting all the time in San Francisco, it's pretty disgusting, and not just homeless people but also techies, hipsters, Marina crowd, they all do it.

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, spitting in the street is quite rare now due to public education (government advertisements and notices) and of course hefty fines which are enforced.
NAT is an argument against TCP, not for it, because when your NAT'ed IP address changes, TCP connections break. UDP will drift between NATs without skipping a beat.

And I'm very surprised you find crappy coffee shop WIFI and 3G to be pretty reliable - those are exactly the kinds of networks which have occasional sustained periods of high packet loss which wreck havoc with TCP.

Edit: the only downside of UDP VPNs is that stateful firewalls can have extremely short timeouts of UDP "connections" (e.g. 30 seconds!), which necessitates the VPN to constantly send keepalives, which kills battery life on mobile devices. TCP connections tend to be given much longer timeouts.
I'm not sure I totally understood the system that you are envisioning. For example, at one point you say something like: banks will need to find some other way, besides lending at interest, to get profits. How does your system not just disincentive lending all together? And if lending money at interest is immoral, how should a first-time home buyer find money to buy a house?
NYT is a rag. The power play they‘d attempted on Scott was for ideological reasons, and shows what culture this organisation has. And what kind of people seek to be part of this.
Pressing prisoners to hide the mass graves which likely held bodies of friends and family is some pretty dark stuff. Each time I learn more about the Holocaust it just seems to get worse and worse. I didn’t think it could, but here we are.
The real question raised in this blog is actually why we allow capital to move and not labour. People who are wondering why living standards in the West have underperformed productivity should take a look at that question.

Of course he's right about location based pay, too.

The thing that ties it together is negotiating position. Chances are if you're a firm that many of your employees will in fact be OK, implicitly or explicitly, to share the gains from relocating to a cheaper area with your company. If you move to a place where you have 20K lower expenses, it's reasonable to think you'll share some of that with your employer, if only because you find it inconvenient to find a new one.

It is of course true that you're as useful to the company as before, but it's a poker game. It's perfectly fine for you to insist on the same pay, but you'll have to run the gauntlet of your employer calling your bluff.

I foresee more movement on this issue. Different firms will try different policies, and different employees will try different jobs. We'll get some moves to read about shortly, once this has played out a bit. One thing is for instance simply representing you live somewhere other than where you spend your time.

Someone is going to find a friend in central London, NYC, or SF, and swap addresses with them. For instance if I live with my family in the suburbs, I could "swap" with some younger person living in town centre, and give them a piece of the action instead of my employer.
O, yes, I agree. It would be ideal if peoples actions are like state archives (accessible 50 years after the fact). However, I wanted to underline how inconsequential people actually matter in history.
It's not an invented problem. Multiple college acquaintances of mine have specifically announced they're ostracizing people for a similar naming dispute at my alma mater. I'm not saying you'll be instantly expelled from polite society for disagreeing with the consensus, but there's an increasing range of topics where you have to seriously weigh whether the benefit of thinking critically about them is worth the risk of losing friends.
They really could have done with having someone with no knowledge read it and ask questions.
Nowhere does it explain what a flat or a sharp note is, for instance.
"Towel of Babel" made me laugh. Not something you want to dry your face with!
100% agreed. My hypothesis (previously unstated) is that some slice of people who start out in the first bucket inevitably turn into the second bucket. (They get bored of "doing the same old thing" or they "just want a change".)
Curious how you feel Idera ruined Delphi? Is it the introduction of a free Community Edition with all the features of Professional including mobile platform support? Or maybe the all new Linux compiler?

Sounds like you haven't looked at Delphi in a while. It is better than ever in my opinion.
"The amount of "bad" is very low to barely measurable in most real-life scenarios (#2)."

When you constantly apply this "only things bigger than X matter" reasoning you still end up with slow, shitty software but you just died by a thousand cuts instead of 1.
>it comes across in literally every piece of snobbery about how a spin bike can't simulate real road feel and you'll never get your proper position and couldn't possibly train the same muscles and so on. I just smile and nod. The bike world is full of snobbery.

None of that is actually WRONG, though. A spin bike is its own thing, with its own set of desired features and aesthetics and behaviors. It's not snobbery to say it's different from training done with cycling trainers and "real" bikes.

Your final paragraph is kind of odd, since the questions you asked were already answered. Power interval training for competitive cyclists involves longish (45-120 minute) workouts with many intervals set at different percentages of your functional threshold power.

Manually adjusting for each one is a tremendous pain in the ass. For example, on my workout last night, I would've had to manually adjust it 16 times in 55 minutes.

Smart trainers have more or less taken over for serious riders precisely because they remove this problem.

If this isn't a problem for YOU because you prefer the way spin-type workouts go, that's awesome for you, but it really just points out that serious outdoor riders are mostly looking for a different experience than Peloton sells. Again: not snobbery. Just an acknowledgment that spin <> outdoor cycling.
You betray your ignorance about firearms. You cannot shoot to immobilize. Every shot taken is practically and legally a shot intending to kill. Real life is not a hollywood movie.
They were let in. The guy with the zip ties is likely an undercover agent.
Speaking of lock screens (and Speakers), did you see Pelosi's screen? Wasn't she on the floor of the House at that time? Why wasn't her screen locked? I can think of half a dozen scenarios of carelessness or time pressure. The first one comes to mind is that she was using it, suddenly evacuated and didn't flip the lock on, and the mob reached her desk before the lock timer expired. But I do wonder if the was even a screen lock.
Ok, we've merged the comments thither.

Well, yes, these are controversial opinions. If they make you feel uncomfortable, that's fine - controversy does that. If you think anything that makes you feel uncomfortable should be illegal to say, then maybe you just don't care about free speech.
This is a well-reasoned response. The comparison to the tenant / landlord relationship is excellent.

It seems that breaking up monopolies as in the past is not viable with tech empires like Twitter / FB, therefore some type of regulation in this area is where the focus needs to be, and I say this as someone who usually takes the libertarian position.
Long commutes are something most bike-enthusiasts want to fix too! That means more affordable housing, usually.

But I agree, weather and disability issues definitely require some kind of supplemental modes of transportation. Even then I’d rather we invested in public transportation instead of cars.
Lowercase Sigma
Yes, my 386SX 20Mhz with hopping 2MB and a 40MB HDD was about 1 500 euros in 1990, when the minimum wage was around 300 euros.

It was bought via credit and if I make the inflation calculation for today's money it would be a big pile of notes.

I think people generally mention accountability when it suits them, specifically when it suits their group morals.

Accountability to me is that the government teaches them a lesson, some company doesn't need to jump in line to punish them for me to feel satiated -- that job is done by the government. Moral communities are just that though, tiny groups that would like to exercise their power and worldliness on others in pursuit of their utopian society free from democracy and government oversight. Having come from a repressive religion, I have no argument against why this paradigm is flawed, but maybe it takes the eyes of someone who has lived that to see it.
You have to be lucky enough to have your job align with stuff that makes money.
Which I'd hope you would state openly in the job posting. There is nothing more defeating for an applicant than to spend the time and energy putting together cover letters and tweaking the resume for your company, only to be disregarded from the start.
Using a carousel instead of requiring a full page load for each image would certainly help. Or making the "view all" link more prominent.
No. Are you suggesting that Apple's highest moral obligation is preventing the collection of data that might conceivably expose their users' wrong-doing—e.g. their betrayal of their spouse?

To be clear, the collection of the data is only a "problem" if it exposes you as a liar. And it's not a "problem" for the person who was lied to; it's a boon. And if you weren't cheating, well, showing your call or location logs might be a way of saying, "Look, I have nothing to hide."

Privacy vs. disclosure of data is a complicated issue. It involves issues of personal autonomy as well as trust. Do you give up some autonomy because you know that people know what you're doing at any moment? Of course. But there is often a pay-off to doing so: people actually trust you.

Life is complicated, and you can't down-vote moral complexity out of life, no matter how high your karma is.
1) as far as physical locations go, libraries are awesome, followed by coffee shops. I have a tethering plan on my phone though, because a lot of free wi-fi places have everything but port 80 and 443 blocked, so I can't ssh, VPN, or anything else useful for working.

That is not a good analogy. The reason knowck-off luxury purses get confiscated is because they are using the luxury brands' marks. The fashion industry is actually the perfect example of not being able to sue for 'look and feel'. There are very few trendsetting concepts or designs in fashion and 99% percent of the products sold are knock offs of some other product. The fact that you can't sue to protect a design is why there is tons of innovation and creativity in fashion.
great idea - definitely why haven't I thought of this pain point that I run into all the time. No fussing with dynDNS, opening ports, or scrambling to deploy a public interweb accessible version of dev code.

Kudos, man.. kudos.
Besides of windows, one of the first real-world applications of this technology might be in our smartphones in order to gain in battery life.
That's what WYSIPS ( http://www.wysips.com/ ) has planned to do with their similar technology. And they seem a bit ahead.
i'll chime in as somebody who likes it.

This. Right here. We could perhaps forgive the memory bloat if it was only in proportion to the feature set, but stuff is in all practical cases actually SLOWER to do the core functions than it was years ago. Only Chrome, for all it's faults, actually seems worth its memory demands among the major apps I use when you consider how many tabs loading crappy bloated pages you can have open simultaneously while it all pretty much runs. But in general, it's absolutely unacceptable how most modern apps run given their resource use.
Sometimes I use Office 2000 under Windows2000 under Virtualbox, and it's amazing how snappy the apps feel when the whole VM has only 64MB of RAM. Everyone should try it once in a while, just as a reminder of what is possible!

The only Office app that I strongly prefer in its modern form is Excel. Modern Excel has some really nice enhancements (sequences and spillover, let and lambda, flash-fill, table formatting, etc) that I miss when I use older versions.
