I'm really surprised there's still a lot of people out there that don't use ISO 8601, I haven't used anything but for nearly a decade :/
I'm all for https everywhere...but really, what's the issue here? There's no data being transmitted over the wire on the OP's site. No sensitive data anywhere. There's little gained by putting this site under a SSL cert.
As this technology develops it will set the groundwork for the future economy, period. This just isn't an invention, its the trajectory of the future.
That's not actually true. Our site search is having issues, so better to just add the site name to the search, but note that youtube-dl.org is just one page and for other sites (that are essentially vertical search engines) you're better off going directly to them since their index is going to be more up to date.
I think it probably falls more into the category of removing a restriction rather than a new feature, but I'm still waiting on HKTs - not for traits (as a former die-hard haskeller, I have been gradually converted to the side of "rust doesn't need a Monad trait") but for data types. There's a design pattern in haskell called "Higher-Kinded-Data"[0] where you parametrize a datatype on a type-constructor, and use that to generically define either partial or total versions of that data type- something like (in rust syntax):

struct Person<F> {
pub name: F<String>,
pub age: F<u32>,
}

where you can then have `Person<Option>` be a person that may or may not have all fields filled, and `Person<Box>` be a person with all fields definitely filled. This is something I find myself reaching for surprisingly frequently when writing rust, and I feel like it's a missed benefit of implementing higher-kinded types.

All that said, I'm really excited to have const generics land! Props to all the amazing work by withoutboats and the entire rust team.
Glamorous jobs tend to be extremely competitive, and therefore pay out less. If anyone is interested in animation as a career, I suggest specializing in design and motion graphics, it has better demand and therefore pays a little better.
Most dentists are small business owners.
Easy, get up, do a bit of work. Have breakfast, spend it with the family. Do some more work. Play with dog. More work, then lunch. Another task, then break time with the boy. A bit more work, then dinner. Family time, kid/wife goto bed, stay up and do a bit more work.

I found it far easier to do that, than to veg out in the office when I needed a break to go out, see the sky, walk around, breathe, etc.

Also, this was fairly early on, sphere was a new company and we were having growing pains. And its not like it was a nighlty thing, more along the lines of often enough to not be weird, but it wasn't often.

Also, before we were quasi-detelecommuted (meaning hires in NYC that went to the office) when something broke, everyone would pitch into fix regardless of hour. After the original peeps (well, most of us) left, the replacements (in the office) had an office mentality. That is, anything that happened after hours wasn't their problem.

Maybe that works better for them, but not for me. Doing things my way got more of my awake/alert time for actually doing things, and the flexibility it imparted helped keep me sane. Offices and rigid schedules drive me batshit insane.

Typo "textare" in footer.

You mention creating a signature "like this one" but then the actual signature creates an ad for the service as an extra - obviously you want word to spread, but there might be a more subtle way to do that, and also disclose it in the example - a ? icon maybe?

I know it's an MVP, but you could have a few theme/style options pretty easily - different layouts, icon sets, colour schemes, etc.

Good luck.
100C is not important to everyday use. The fact that water boils when heated is important, but that could go anywhere from 70 to 200 and the change would barely get noticed.

Only 0C is relatable.
That's a good point. It seems to be very difficult for mathematicians to formulate their thoughts in a non-formal manner. When they try to, it's almost like they speak in a learned second language.
That said, mathematics is not really bound by any type of "reality" either, whereas other fields, even physics, certainly are.
A little more reality in math and a little more abstraction in the rest would probably help.
I'm not attempting to make a value judgement about one commodity vs another, I'm just outlining what is the necessary and sufficient condition for something to be short-able, which I think is widely misunderstood (I say this because of Elon's tweets that "we can't short cars").

Cars, chairs, etc, can't be shorted, since they aren't fungible. This reason is mostly a practical one. If people really wanted to short cars, despite the fact that they aren't fungible, they would be able to, they just need to prepare the necessary legal paperwork. Nobody does this because it would be extremely annoying to do so, and for very little benefit.

Things that are fungible can be shorted easily with minimal legal legwork. Stocks are fungible and therefore can be shorted.

Now regarding the supply of a commodity that's available to short, in the case of stocks that's determined by the executive team and board when there's a need to raise funds. I wouldn't exactly call that a cartel. They're just doing what they think is best for their business (i.e., issuing new stock when the company needs funds and they don't wish to raise through debt).
Well it's Google. So yes.
Isn't this a known trajectory for all such [solutions]: ease of use, multi-platform, originally advertised privacy and security concern, critical mass gain ==> sell / be acquired (latter requiring a little extra $$$ effort from the acquirer part) to FB/Google/Amazon/etc.?
This article makes no sense, and Google isn't "locking down Chrome".

Google is removing proprietary Google services like sync from Chromium.

Which honestly makes 100% sense. Chromium is supposed to be a bare-bones open-source browser. Other browsers can build on it, and they do. They can provide their own sync capabilities and everything else.

If you want to use Google services, wouldn't you already just be using Chrome?

So this seems like a positive development, untangling Google-specific features from the Chromium project.
Swedish sign language used to be my native language due to having a deaf sister. After relocating to another part of the world and discussing languages, it surprised me how many times I had (have) to explain how "sign language" is not a language.

That said; it is amazing how many sign languages can come to similar conclusions due to "always trying to find the simplest way of explaining yourself".
I didn't review the millions of lines of vim code either, yet notepad.exe lets me use it to edit passwords.txt and banking_details.txt just fine.
My suggestion is purely intended to improve ergonomics, not to actually push the device to its breaking point, but I see how that could be a problem.
Nodes. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=532.msg6306#msg6306

"The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate."
I have a contrarian view about reading productively, which is: READ WHAT OTHERS AREN'T READING.

It's as if there is a similar process as the Efficient Market Hypothesis happening with books: the best-sellers define our shared reality, and apparently (at least for me), they aren't worth reading.

For example, think of Outliers, by Malcom Gladwell. Virtually everyone has heard of the 10'000 hour rule. That means that the first thing you have to do to be more productive in your reading is start by NOT reading Outliers: all its content is already common knowledge.

Which brings me to this post. No matter how many books the author is reading, he is simply reviewing what everyone else (Atomic Habits, Thinking Fast and Slow, Grit) is reading too. So there is little value in what he reads, because it's discounted by what "everyone" knows already.

What do you guys think about that? Am I too off course?
It does resonate to some extent, but I still like software.

If you dislike the industry, you might still not like product/engineering-management roles.

It seems to me like myself, you need to find out what kind of work you like, what you'd explore for your own curiosity even if you are not paid.

Trying out OS/networks/compilers/data-science/research roles might be worth your while. But, if core CS is not your thing, it's possible you will find management roles (product/engineers) more satisfying.
Nature physics is covered by the read-only access thing (48 journals are in total) [0]

The read only access link has to be generated by someone with access then shared, rather than them just making all the papers free to read.

#2 (crypto transactions backed by traditional currency) is far and away the most useful of these categories.

Unfortunately, it doesn't offer the speculative upside of something like Bitcoin. People don't actually care if their transactions are carried across a blockchain or a database, as long as it gets done.

Bitcoin is hot specifically because it's so detached from any real-world use cases or metrics that might put bounds on its price. There's a narrative that because no one can determine an upper limit for Bitcoin price, there's infinite upside. Of course that narrative is no different than any other arbitrary asset, but the Bitcoin narrative is strong because it's been in the news so much.
I find the gdpr-popups themselves to be far worse than any ads I’ve ever encountered. I really don’t care that they profile my data, build models, try to trick me into spending as much money as possible etc. I’m like the meme dog in the house fire - This is fine!
Update: I forgot the worst. FileVault 2 + HFS+ corrupting metadata and becoming un-fsck-able (Repair). TimeMachine restore and 5 hours loss per incident.

Also Xcode 6.1 took a week to fix a docset feed bug that they duplicated a docset dmg url. I found the exact correct dmg url, and it still took 3 days to fix. Everyone had broken Xcode Tools docsets until they fixed it. (!)

iBooks can use 100% CPU trying to connect to the (nonexistent) internet when reading an ePub.

All-in-all, these aren't show stoppers, just a collection of things to whine about. It would cause more happiness if they were fixed, but they're mostly navigable.
The point is many people forego having children, and then keep dogs or cats to fill in their need for nurturing.
Sure, you can tell yourself that, and it will remain true. Or you can act like a professional and seek out places that value that. I have, and know others who do. I don't think we've sacrificed anything.
I flatter myself that I was a pretty competent computer science student, but I'm certainly not a security researcher. I think you're overestimating how much basic computer science knowledge has any applicability to offensive black hat hacking.

Your argument is close to "Nobody should teach basic chemistry in the middle east, because hey, terrorists might use that knowledge to make bombs."
itch.io is stellar. thank you.

any chance you would consider a spiking or daily/weekly popularity chart?

> yes, they are demanding someone else to only use the words they deem tolerable.

again, no.

They are insisting that Stallman only label individuals with the labels the individuals have defined.

This isn't about Stallman being allowed to use words any more than insisting he not rape people is about him not being allowed to have sex.
Back when I lived in Japan, stores had plastic dummy phones to show you what they looked like and let you pick them up. I guess that went away when the “Galapagos style” phones died off.
Then we need public services for communication to save the world from private dystopia, the same way we have public roads. Every country should set up a free mastodon account and email for every citizen.

Plus i m not sure the principle of Free speech is that limited, speech doesnt count as speech if it cant reach anyone. And giving to a handful of employees the power to shape the messaging of millions is directly affecting democracy itself.
I am surprised too, it trully is home computer, connected to all computers inside and outside, and yet usual routers are cheap and dumb.
This brought back some memories. Some years ago,I worked for a gas/oil infrastructure contractor. Essentially got fired for trying to cool myself too often by pouring water on my face. At the time,I was spray painting gas pipes under direct sunlight with pretty heavy PPI in the middle of hot summer. Anything below 30 degrees would have felt like heaven.

In all this story,there was someone,who had a nerve to tell her that she can't have a bottle of water...
I prefer the lower overhead of having things hosted elsewhere, but keep regular backups and have a well detailed business continuity plan for each vendor that could go hostile, belly up, or otherwise no longer viable.

You take advantage of off-the-shelf options at the same time that you prepare for the worst.
Yeah, same here, it's the Facebook leak. So why does it have my number? Maybe I activated it for something, changed the number, and forgot. Its not impossible with me.
Or, how about we continue to work from home? I used to fill up my car with gas weekly. Now I'm filling it up monthly or longer.

I had no problem with hosts kicking off Parler, and I don't really have a problem with this Twitch policy, but those are very different things than the grocery example. Social media companies, webhosts, etc. are directly enabling speech as a core part of their product. As was mentioned above it would be against the principle of not coercing speech to force one of these companies to continue serving a customer.

But I really do not think allowing someone to buy lettuce should be considered a form of speech, or even an "association". Banning someone from using a grocery store - or perhaps more relevant to this example Amazon.com - for actions completely unrelated to the service is wrong IMO, even if it were somehow restricted to 100% accuracy rate of only blocking very bad people.

I haven't seen it happen yet, but if it becomes in vogue to worry that selling a random material good to a customer is some kind of endorsement of that customer, that will lead to a very concerning situation down the line. It is now all too easy to gather information on people, potentially dating back decades. I don't see any reason grocery stores should know anything about their customers outside of what can be observed when shopping.
>but setting it up in any distro is also never more than one command away, unlike the other languages mentioned.

No, exactly like the other languages mentioned. If you are seriously going to try to pretend installing python or ruby or perl is harder than installing PHP then you can't expect anyone to react as if you are being serious and genuine.

>I can't even find a tutorial on how to run Ruby under FastCGI

That sounds like a serious problem. I would suggest looking for a local "introduction to computers" type class. They tend to teach basic usage of windows and the web, including how to use google to search for things. I think it would help you a lot.

>and RoR appears to be the de facto way to run Ruby websites

While I'm sure the rails guys must be flattered, I don't know how you got that appearance. There's a whole bunch of frameworks, just like with PHP. And you don't need to use any of them, just like with PHP. But of course, you know all this and are just trolling.
A serious heart condition in one's youth (infancy, even), regardless of insurance coverage at the time, could exclude one from all future private insurance (as in: there are zero options, they will not do business with you) leaving only incredibly-expensive state-provided (but privately administered , of course—profit over all) insurance as an "option", i.e. leaving the only actual options as being employed with a large company, going without insurance at all, or being poor enough to qualify for medicaid (so, avoiding employment).

>> That 2 GB, 64 GB model just looks painful to use.

That really depends on your use case.

I've been using the Asus Vivotab Note 8 for several months (2gb/64gb), and I haven't even come close to feeling a need to put an SD card in it yet. I use it as a complement to my laptop. Mostly for consumption, communication and note-taking with OneNote. I don't think you'd want to do any heavy lifting on an Atom-based machine -- you'd be better off with a Pro in that case.

I'd love to see Microsoft release a Surface Mini with that Surface Pen. Having a Wacom pen on my Vivotab is great, except at the edges.
I would be inclined to agree with you, but this just isn't true in my case and many other cases - usually the people who care the most are the ones I have to work with the least. When I have a meeting, I suck it up and come in on time. But otherwise, there really is no reason I even have to be physically in the office. There are benefits to it, and I like being in the office because it lets me interact with people in ways that I think makes me better at my job, but really I could be on the other side of the world and it'd be fine.

We still ape the rituals of our industrial revolution predecessors simply because no one tried anything else.
"without itunes" is a pointless constraint that the parent did not have.

Searching "transfer mp3 to iphone" will give you hundreds of results telling you how to install iTunes and transfer the mp3s.
I think the only thing I can say about this is..

Good.
It isn't just OVH although OVH/Hetzner/Online.net are the obvious examples. I can list something like 50 providers that can sell something like that [with 10TB of Bandwidth and/or 100mbit+ unmetered] for under the 3 year reserved price.

On a technical point, is there a reason that javascript doesn't tend to be signed in any way?

A good point. I think it's convenience that we don't do it, but I'd hope we move in that direction. It seems like a prudent move.
I hate this type of argument because it completely circumvent the point. The point isn't that if you're rich that means you've stolen something from the poor. It's the belief that the way our civil society is organized is broken, and plenty of riots have occurred for that reason in the past. The idea is that increased concentrations of wealth to an increasingly smaller percentage of people leads to a less innovative and content populace. And that we should be trying to avoid those trends, it's says something about what and who we value as a society.

So stop bringing up the strawman of "rich people are evil" when the article wasn't even trying to making that point. Can we have a discussion about income inequality without that bogus line of thinking?
As a paying customer I am glad that Heroku is cutting down on the free usage. They are using AWS so free usage means actual expenses. Sure, it can be seen as a marketing expense but Heroku is well known now and don't really need it to gain awareness.
From what I remember, the percentage of programmers/tech-workers who have libertarian/free-market views is much higher than percentage found in the general population.
The problem is that they are already paid market rates. The claim is that market rates are not fair.

Someone on the thread mentioned that some safes have false floors that might not be possible to see with an endoscope.
ah, the good old "I can't see why they doing it so they must be wrong" line of thinking.

dunno, on top of my head:

how much does shipping frozen good costs over short-medium distances?

how much does slaughtering cost in either countries?

how do you track if food was processed according to that market expectancy and codes?

why wendy is so big on touting his beef was never frozen?

and there's not even a general rule, shipping meat can be cost effective compared to animals depending on country of origin and destination, yet alone distances, i.e. https://library.wur.nl/WebQuery/wurpubs/fulltext/420339 and the result vary according to whether you're optimizing for cost or environment protection (and we know what companies tend to go for, right?)
the unknown confuser!
Absolutely agree with you. I'm not sure why this post got 200+ points. Enforced Association is perfect description and it's something that every company must be aware of. I try to get our team together once a month to go out for lunch but that's where it stops. Everyone likes each other and they spend time together at lunch when they want to, not when they're forced to.

For me lunch is a time to stop thinking about work and get out of the office.

If people don't like sitting together at lunch, all you do is force them to think about creative things to say rather than letting them rest their mind and come back to work more productive after lunch.

It's another one of those time where I don't agree with Joel.
Any phone running CyanogenMod 7 and the Xperia Play, at the very least.
Actually it would pretty much be that easy as $100mm is way more than it's worth. The reason you're reading that it's for sale is because the buyers and sellers probably havent agreed upon a price and Fox is shopping it to a bigger market in order to drive up valuations. If the buyers and sellers had agreed you'd be reading about a buyout.

A better and way more interesting question is if you had the $100mm to buy it what would you do with it? I've created an Ask HN if anyone is interested in a more thorough discussion.

Yeah. Glad to see that was the answer. It's the only one that would make sense.
Besides the legal side of things, the code might be being built with an company internal tool-chain, and comercial compilers, so it would be a bunch of work to even get it ready for a public release. All of this reinventing of the wheel probably limits nice fixes for common bugs over the years.

I think his point is that there's usually a bottleneck somewhere, and unless the bottleneck lies within the specialist's realm of specialization, the generalist is in a better position to spot it.
Fantastic observation and I agree 99.9%... definitely something that is unique in the U.S. that would be difficult for someone who did not grow up in the current and evolving climate and culture to understand.
