> Why are any of these things true?

Since you challenge the post here instead of flat-out ignoring it, I believe you think at least some of it may be true, and you want to know more.

To me, the bullet points read as titles in a Zettelkasten or personal wiki, or maybe chapter headlines in a book.

I'm conviced that there's depth to these points, and the author could write a lot more about everything. (Please do!)

Even though the article seems very superficial, I took away at least four points in my personal notes, for further reflection and whatnot:

* Trust through transparency

* Processes are expectations made explicit

* Make true what is real

* people x context = output

YMMV.
Eh, you can take the standard deduction and the foreign tax credit or any of a bunch of other things that don't always have great information on forms.

A whole lot of preparing a tax return is plugging in numbers from forms that are sent to you and the IRS. It would be simpler (but perhaps less timely) if the IRS sent the taxpayer the return and if you disagreed, you could send in an ammended form with any documentation, or just pay the bill/cash the check.
while there are a lot of different improvements, i'm really looking forward to the enhanced JSON functionalities (particularly the new operators [0]) and the LATERAL JOIN [1]

Thanks!

I just wanted to say that I think the way you were treated (and continue to be treated by some) is abominable.

It was a learning experience. It made for some challenging years, but I think I'll come out on top of all this.

As far as the G+ component, well, I think the proof is in how it ended up :-/

Well said. Google's problem is that it views engineering (well, specifically, C++ engineering) as "smart people work" and everything else-- product development, HR and people management, aesthetics-- as "stupid people work". Thus, Google ends up with some top-flight C++ engineers whom I couldn't possibly compete with, but... guess what kind of person ends up designing its performance reviews, or deciding how to direct your products?

I have seen eggs marketed specifically for pasta making which were darker orange to guarantee yellower pasta.
I guess because the language is more expressive.
As were airplanes manufacturers, where first visual ~workstations were designed.
No, version control can only handle textual changes, only humans with legal expertise can work out how one law affects another. Even if there was a graph that showed all the links between all the laws (which would take an enormous amount of work to build), it would take a semantic understanding of each modification to deduce whether it has any impact on other nodes.
I assume most of these conferences will be canceled till the coronavirus is “tamed” or we accept it as the new normal.
I was looking for coaching to enunciate clearly.
I think it's a safe guess that such an emulation would be made correctness-first.

But most apps are not very parallelized, only computationally heavy ones are. Those are of course going to suffer from emulation anyway. As a performance lower bound we can imagine that it would emulate a single-core x86 so the memory model differences wouldn't come into play.

Microsoft already has x86 emulation working in Windows for ARM, anyone know implementation details of that, or even publications?
This is not taking into account the slowdown of spread due to containment measures.
I read your link after reading the source article and most of these were my thoughts as well.

Regardless of what the truth is, this study takes a lot of handwavy assumptions and presents them as fact.
Aren't you equally at risk buying from Amazon themselves due to inventory commingling?

Interesting, as I'm on the opposite end of that one. I've never found sensory overload to be a significant issue in anything I've flown/driven/ridden/raced (including motorcycles). The fastest stuff has required a session or three for my brain to come to grips with the rate of sensory input and get fully on top of it, but after that it's never been an issue and it normalizes to no longer being stimulating just for the sake of the thrill of speed. (Which isn't to say there isn't something fast enough to saturate my brain's ability to process my sensory inputs.) Rather, it's the competition and pursuit of excellence that keeps it interesting.

What I will say is that maintaining full situational awareness and keeping my racecraft sharp is more difficult in a sim, because the quantity and quality of the inputs just aren't as good as the real world.

Sims obviously aren't nearly as physically demanding (though a full-length grand prix will still leave me in a sweat by the end from concentration), but I find I have significantly more mental overhead in the real world as it's far more intuitive. And if the physical risk is a persistent stressor that takes attentional overhead while racing, then congrats, you're wired like a functioning human, not a racing driver!
> They don't have shares to cover their shorts.

Once you cover a short it isn’t really a short anymore. The whole point is to speculate.
Security is always a comprise between protection and accessibility. The USAF, rightly or wrongly, thought that the requirement the codes prevented them from doing their job (responding to a nuke attack).
What difference would it have made?
20+ year tinnitus sufferer here, and recent owner of AirPods Pro. I can deal with the condition well enough, mostly by distraction, but just last week stumbled upon a supposed audio treatment on Spotify.

I gave it a listen and sure enough it seemed to diminish the tinnitus while playing. For the three or so days afterward, though, I experienced the worst and most piercing spell of ringing I can recall. Never again.

Im now curious about research in therapeutic use of headphones and related manipulative technologies. They’re clearly capable of doing something.

Any connection here would be interesting.
I can imagine that a huge corporation does both fertilizers and genetic engineering. German BASF is one such example.
There also seems to be a correlation between Tinnitus and neck tension. Wearing headphones definitely adds some extra load to your neck. Perhaps you could determine the cause by wearing the headphone and not turning it on.
Welp, here comes the nickname suggestions rolling in for Trump now since now that the impeachment charges are unfortunately not sticking:

Is there ever going to be a next time to try and convict him? who knows.
What ever happened to it? I recall Groovy and Grails being pretty big in the Java world several years ago.
> Who benefits from GMO prohibition?

Literally the entire current farming industry. Especially the high markup “organic” segment.
So what would you compare it to then? The startup ecosystem?
Even if you eat a very protein-rich diet, your body is not going to accidentally slip into ketosis unless you are really fastidious about keeping carbs almost entirely out. There is no benefit to ketosis for the average person versus a diet that is similar calorically, and also low on carbs/starch but not low enough to be in ketosis.
> If it "miss" you will ear it. So there is no invisible danger, it cannot be not perceptible

not always true. Minor phase mismatch will create higher frequency sound. You wouldn't hear ultrasound, though how bad it is to have an ultrasound source in you ears i don't know.

The phase mismatch can be temporal - circuitry reacting either a bit too fast or too slow - as well as spatial - the sound wave front most probably aren't parallel to the speakers frontal plane.
That appears to be true for gofix too and probably any tool of that kind...
Some excellent work there, and interesting Supercollider projects too. Nice one!

I've got to say, I find even Monopoly to be a terrible game. My strategy for the game can be summed up as: "buy the property if I can, otherwise pay rent if I have to".

I almost never stray from that strategy, and even when I do, it's not like those exceptions make the game any more interesting.
They're not trying to make development harder but they're not trying to make it easier either. They won't put the effort into fixing developer pain points if the only practical outcome will be more mediocre apps.

As long as they don't scare away the A-list developers, or hurt the quality of their apps, the development situation is good enough and they would rather spend resources on things that more directly benefit customers.

At the same time, the marketing dept. is milking their leading app count for all it's worth, so they won't be doing a purge. Rather, I think they will work on more ways for the cream to float to the top, like the "genius" feature of the app store, and on raising the quality bar with their own apps like Garage Band and iMovie.
At this point I wonder if nickb would be willing to sell the newmogul trademark. Considering that all it would take is some marginal news.arc server maintenance and a "guess what? Newmogul is back up" and you'd have a viable web property going, the IP should be worth something.
while Ruby has blocks, which are a hack around MRI's slow function calls

Is this really the reason? I thought Ruby has blocks because Smalltalk has blocks.
You forgot how they'll also helpfully remove services that you could otherwise end up spending your valuable time on:

- Reader, possibly to make room for Google+

- and then Google+

- etc

You also forgot how they'll ban you from accessing your own paid account, and there won't even be a sham trial or even a kangaroo court, just an automatic death sentence for your data.

Seriously: Google has earned the distrust they are now facing. They have dug this hole

- one shady tactic at a time

- one let down at a time

- one deal with China at a time

- etc

until even former fan boys like me become happy every time I see Google in hot water.

@Googlers: nothing against most of you as individuals. Hope you get well paid and good jobs when Google has to cut. (Except those who think it is OK to use search as a playground for wacky AI experiments, those who implement rules to punish logged in Firefox users with Captchas etc :-)
I found the Long Sun novels the weakest of all the Suns. Some plot points felt forced, some subplots were just quietly abandoned. The Short Sun is much better in comparison, although of course 5.HoC is a better BoSS than BoSS itself.
Revise, not throw out entirely.

Optimization always adds complexity. Don't do it more than necessary.
This is the most deluded and blatantly incorrect comment I've seen on HackerNews to date.

One argument is perhaps that bad management can be stifling and it can be hard to achieve good outcomes under bad management. The semiconductor space is perhaps difficult because you have very long lead times and the cost of each iteration is high: if you have different parts of the organisation pulling in different directions, you're unlikely to have a good outcome, and iterating to unify that direction is very difficult.

Thanks for this! <3 immediately useful contributions.

I'm curious, how often do you have to update the selectors?

context: I've maintained various website parsers over the years, and it seems to be a constant struggle, depending on the targeted function.
Hate has nothing to do with it if it's economically motivated.
"repo" is like short for repository I think, so its a good name for the site imo.
A counterpoint would be around 2012-14 (can’t remember exactly), when secure boot was hitting the mainstream, the Ubuntu installer (and systemd) didn’t know that UEFI anything was stored on the internal disk and would wipe it out, causing many machines to hard brick (which then made Lenovo say “uh, we don’t support Linux, tough”, which wasn’t cool).

"ls" was just an example. L being a common letter in an awkward position is another, imbalance between the hands a third and other layouts get a lower score on same finger usage (pressing two keys with the same finger right after each other). See this writeup for a bunch of ways you can analyze a layout: https://sites.google.com/alanreiser.com/handsdown#h.u8i88ask...

There are many layouts that give you right/left alternation. The BEAKL layouts for example.
I can't find anything on the internet with my real name and there are no pictures of me anywhere, I love it.
I buy the problem with cultural issues around testing and possibly poor quality of the current implementation.

I do think the OP doesn't get exceptions, though. Catching and doing something with an exception should be very rare, and almost never happen in library code, unless you've been infected by Java-itis and feel compelled to wrap implentation exceptions at the API level.

Failures are a function of implementation. The stack trace includes the fact that the API was involved. Further wrapping is usually busywork. If action needs to be taken on failure, the code that must not fail should have an exception handler, which can deal with the failure if possible (necessarily failure modes it can enumerate), and retry or abort as required.

Wrapping is particularly pointless with more functional code. When code is idiomatically passed around, library exceptions are frequently from user code passed in, rather than something the library author could exhaustively list.
My problem with these resume generators is always the same: the generated pdf doesn't hold in a single page. I don't think a resume should be longer than one page unless you're an academic and you want to list all of your publications, or you have 40 years of relevant experience for the position.
If you have Symbols, you also have Map and WeakMap which don't have that problem.
I don't see any hover animations. Have they been removed?
so then it would be more accurately described as a procreation or reproduction bottleneck, not a population bottleneck.
While the Drake Equation indicates that there are probably loads of other intelligent species in our galaxy, there's no reason to think that it's practical for them to visit.
Even when you don't get it wrong (i.e., no out-of-bounds writes), you can still get out-of-bounds reads because strncpy does not always null-terminate strings. C strings suck.
What's sad is that you could do this with iSync and any phone with bluetooth back in 2003. The feature disappeared along with iSync.

You must mean Derby..
That's one sentence in a wide ranging essay on policy and he properly qualified it with "that could have".

It's hardly "acting sensibly" when something that would have devastated angel funding was even on the table, let alone that it took a major effort to mostly fix it with a comprise that will remove a bunch of angels from the game.

It well supports his thesis and especially his preceeding sentence: "Our government is just way too interested in mucking around in Silicon Valley by creating and enforcing rules based on little or no understanding of the consequences."
...yeah, I figured out that's what they were trying to do, as he kept asking the same inane questions repeatedly in rapid fire.

Turns out my baseline for him was a quizzical "Are you serious?" look on my face.

(I guess maybe that looks different to a "OMG THEY'RE ON TO ME!" reaction.)

A very strange little encounter.

And if it was just "security theatre", I can't imagine the passengers behind me were comforted by someone being snatched from the line, having their bag riffled through and then put back in line just before getting on a 7 hour flight.
Now it’s fine, it wasn’t a few minutes ago.
I very much like the idea but don't like at all how it is implemented. I would like to have it as a simple HTML page. I.e. where I can resize the browser window to whatever width and I never get horizontal scrollbars. And that there is no extra right/left border.

Maybe let's call this thing 'strip-everything-away-except-the-text'.

And I want it in Chrome, not in Safari. :)

Hm, now where I am thinking of it, it actually should be possible to just implement such a Chrome extension.
My arms got tired just watching all the people in the Apple video holding their phones for video calls.
I really like that it works with articles spread over multiple pages. Tried it on NYTimes and Ars Technica.
They lost a TechCruncher to entrepreneurship, not Y Combinator.
> I know Peter Thiel is not popular here, but his conversations about technological progress seem to be spot on: we just cant build cool shit anymore.

As opposed to the other PayPal dude that is building spacecraft. It's more about what Peter Thiel can't do.
Roundabouts seem to be spreading internationally, too. That’s at least my experience. My small hometown in Germany (pop. 40,000) went from no roundabouts only ten years ago to at least four today. My even smaller university town (pop. 30,000) also has at least four brand new roundabouts. My own impression is that roundabouts were very uncommon in Germany only a few years ago but are no uncommon sight today.

I have never heard of any protest against them in Germany, only recently the exact opposite happened: the city wanted to put a traffic light at an intersection which lead many people to demand (unsuccessfully, in the end) a roundabout.
240(base10) == 1040(base6)
Except 240 in base 10 in 1040 in base 6. (When moving to a lower base the number will always 'look' higher.)
If you use the Tweet button, either embedded in a page or installed as a bookmarklet, it will run through Twitter's own shortener. A long version of the URL will then be displayed in the Twitter UI.

> you should find yourself a delicious decaffeinated coffee.

Decaf coffee is universally worse than caffeinated. It's impossible to remove the caffeine from coffee beans without also removing a good deal of the chemicals that contribute to the flavor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decaffeinated_coffee
In my post, I was specifically talking about privileged YC posts, not all HN posts in general. I agree that for normal HN posts, the flag feature is useful (and it also is unobtrusive, since the rightmost link is a link to discussion, not a flag link).
I'm running Nexenta / Solaris zfs with samba, but it supports accented characters just fine. Perhaps this is a limitation of Mac smb support. zfs also doesn't have a repairing fsck as far as I know, but I have more faith in its monitoring and scrubbing features. It also bulk reads and writes at about 100mbytes a second, approaching the limit of gigabit ethernet.
I set up something similar for myself recently, using the OpenID delegation system:

<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.livejournal.com/openid/server.bml>;

<link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://andrewducker.livejournal.com>;

which now means that I can use andrew.ducker.org.uk as my OpenID, and any third party I like to confirm that. Very useful if I want to move my provider by keep my ID.
But, I suspect, for most people the world is a strange and mysterious place, governed by principles they do not understand, which affect them severely but cannot be controlled, only coped with as best as possible.

The world is a strange and mysterious place, governed by principles we do not understand, which affect us severely but cannot be controlled, only coped with as best as possible. People that think otherwise might not be as smart as they consider themselves to be.

I do agree with the overall point. Jargon can be used to simplify communication by using a language all parties understand, or to mask the fact that the speaker has no idea what they're talking about. But I take issue with the argument that everything can be described in a simple way. To quote Feynman, "If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize".
Or the problem could be that the decentralization hasn't been taken far enough. Why should comments be tied to a particular website at all? Comments can be federated in exactly the same way people are talking about opening up Twitter and turning it into a "distributed service" or even a "protocol". Even without true federation, you can still extract comments from the major aggregators via their APIs. So the notion of where a comment ultimately "lives" starts to get blurry.
Humbled to hear that.
I had a girlfriend complain "you always have to be right!" to which I replied "no, I'm just willing to admit when I am wrong". She objected, saying that I win every arguement. I recalled many occurances where she won arguements and pointed out how breif those discussions were because I allowed her to be right. Then she got even more angry at me for being right again...
That's how it works on my laptop... (running Narwal).
I don't know what route you took to decide that this form of advertizing is "the best" for the user. Do you really think that waking me up in the middle of the night to look at an advertizement is good for me as a user?

You contrast it to TV ads. With TV ads, I know what program the ad is sponsoring. My TV doesn't click on at random times to show me ads just because I have something saved on my PVR that I never watch.

I'm very glad your app got yanked, and I don't say this lightly, I am still divided on the idea of a moderated app distribution channel at all.

The idea of terraforming Mars seems increasingly quaint given how hard it's been for us to keep the Earth comfortable for humans.

I think it makes far more sense to work on geo-engineering solutions to climate change first - it's also more likely to have a viable business model, on the assumption that the people will eventually demand action rather than applaud their leaders for pulling out of the Paris Accord.

I think pretty much all of the tech applicable to terraforming Mars could also be useful for reducing Earth's CO2 levels, no? Maybe let the problems on Earth guide development and drive funding, and pivot to Mars once it's clear success is being had on Earth.
