I obviously would not want to work in such a bureaucratic environment where every small tech decision has to go through multiple boards.

Everyone who works on the app is making those decisions no matter what you do. The difference is that in the "old style" the decisions were made before the code is written, and in the agile "new style" the decisions are made after the code is written. Often that's fine, because developers are generally good at their work and they make decent decisions, but sometimes they get it wrong and that's when code design issues arise. It's also what leads to automated tests failing to test for a lot of cases that a good QA engineer would have written tests for. Those things have an impact on the user.

A huge amount of the code in apps we use every day was never designed. No one thought it through. No one considered the edge cases. Features are thrown together in a week and 'sort of' work. Every time you see a shitty broken website, or a bug in production, or some crappy slow thing that should be fast the reason behind the problem is that the developers who made it didn't take the time (or even have the time in really bad companies) to think about what they were building. A lot of developers like that working environment because they can hack on things and move on to the next challenge quickly. That's fun. I argue it's also bad for users, and I care more about users than I care about developers (and I say that as a developer whose been making web stuff for almost 25 years.)

I'm not arguing that we go back to Prince2 and waterfall. There's a limit to my tolerance of bureaucracy too. I'm saying that things have gone a bit too far the other way, and many developers need to spend more time planning what code is written before leaping in and coding up the first solution they think will pass the acceptance criteria someone from product wrote.
Isn't that a little bit off he didn't mutter any words after seizing the opportunity of his co-worker's unplanned leaving of the cockpit ?
Nice to see OVH doing well. I have been really happy with their smallest 'VPS classic', at a third of a price of a t2.micro or linode (2.40€) it's a lot of bang for the buck. Plus I have a top level domain from them for like one euro per year (.ovh) so I can get a free ssl cert from StartSSL as well. Dirt. Cheap.
I wonder, since the plane wasnt nosediving, it was descending, and the radars could probably detect that it wasnt descending to any place to land. Couldn't a remote operator stop the descent?
I too wondered how many where saved by this.

It certainly was debated before (here a german article from a year ago, closing with the cynical words "Than you're also dead, but at least save from terrorists. How comforting."

There is a big fallacy here that the people who are going to be working more hours will actually make more money. These people are salaried, and may get better performance pay, etc. for more hours; but it is not guaranteed. Unless you're paid hourly, then the (admitted strawman) "I make $100K, which is like $50 an hour, so its like making money to pay someone $25 an hour." really doesn't work out.

The example of Mallon making $1,000 for her company an hour, isn't clear to me that she owns that company. Based on her apartment not having sufficient hot water to wash her hair, I tend to think she is not making the $1,000 an hour herself. I'm also a bit dubious that she would be able to bill out at nearly that rate, but could be wrong.
The work should be hard (if not, is it really research?). Achieving financial stability, having a family, etc. maybe shouldn't be so hard.
This is how indoctrination works. You aren't aware of what you're not aware of. You see the world through a glass, darkly.
If this is a suicidal flash, the presence of another person might be enough to prevent that from appearing.

Nope, because that's not what I claimed.

For this type of background job use-case (ex. some backfill, processing etc), I would think the main reason for authn/authz would be to ensure that only the background job process can read and edit the appropriate user data. In that case, you would need some token-based machine-to-machine authz with scoped tokens that limit what data the background process can access.
Personally, I've never been on a Teams call. I'd say it's been about 50% zoom, 50% webex, surprisingly. Fortunately with webex, the invites include a generic SIP address that we can use with our video conferencing equipment.
Nudity by itself does not trigger hormonal responses.

Nudity accompanied with a sense of guilt, forbiddeness or assumed hornyness is what triggers different responses.

You can blame 'porn addiction' on nudity as much as you like, completely ignoring the elephant in the room [0]

Static sites are so 2004.
This is a long article but well worth reading. It describes in detail the experiences of an ethnic Kazakh woman who had studied in Canada and who, after returning to China, was imprisoned in Xinjiang under harsh conditions and forced to undergo “re-education.” It also reports more broadly on the ongoing campaign of oppression against Uyghurs and Kazakhs by the Chinese government.
'Swordfish' was 9 years ago and 'Hackers' was 15.

'The Social Network' made me giggle in geek happiness when every glimpse of technical detail the was a legitimate tech shoutout. The following is a screenshot from 'Tron: Legacy' http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101111213709/tron/im...

When computers were exotic, any hack could invoke utter wizardry and magic. The creative types behind modern movies are sufficiently aware and sufficiently confident the median American will be aware that the serious shit that happens to make computers work is a lot of typing plain text on flat, stationary screens, and some wonderful dramatic devices have been developed to extract accessible engagement from technical scenes beyond the old attempts at whiz-bang shiny awe (which never really worked anyway). So today you see a lot of bash, because the producers need text, and the graphic artists are like "why not make this legit?"
I manage to do pretty well. A good uninstaller (which performs deep scans), a defragmenter (MyDefrag is best) and CCleaner will do the trick.

But it's true that a little reinstall once every few years can't give a slight speedup.

Nowadays I tend toward a nomad setup (using portable apps) anyway, so it's even easier.
While Intel is pretty good with the support in general, they screwed up with the Poulsbo (GMA500) thing, which was popular in netbooks.
Is that someone elses quote, or did you come up with that yourself? Either way - I like it!
The stats dont bear your claim out.

https://www.safehome.org/resources/crime-statistics-by-state...

All types of violent crime rates (including armed robbery and property crimes) are lower in the NorthEast than in the South.

I will add the caveat that 2020 might be an exception due to the extraordinary circumstances that year presented (but I actually dont think it is, because barring murders, all kinds of violent crime have actually fallen in the north east).

The only reason it might not appear that way is because there is because right wing media has basically built an identity out of painting democratic led areas as crime infested, and since democratic led areas tend to be highly populated, it's easy to build such a false picture by using absolute numbers.
"Stones" is slang for "balls" is slang for "testicles," which are attributed (metaphorically) to be the source of bravery. Acts of great bravery are said to require loins of great fortitude, viz. "balls of steel."
Any thoughts on putting a buzzer in the wristband?

There may be an interesting angle for married couples in doing so. I'm interested in the sleep-tech and prospects of "feeling better," but the thing that would be really intriguing to me is the idea of something that can wake me up without an alarm blaring, which my wife hates.
I've heard good things about this plugin, which uses clang to do autocompletion inside vim:

Well, cool. On that note, I have two questions:

1) The form I went through said $60 while the blog post says pre-order prices would be $50. From your explanations it sounds like I'm being counted in pre-orders, but it's unclear. I think I was in the paypal group that got the $5 refunded, but I honestly don't remember very well at this point.

2) Should I have received an email from you? Fyi I have not.
I completely agree.

But this country loves extreme cases. The media tends to ignore the 40+ successful CEOs out there because it's not uncommon to see someone in that age group running a good business. But when Mark Zuckerberg became the world's youngest billionaire at age 23, everyone wanted to do an interview with him and sell a story around it.

Really, the reason everyone pays attention to Zuck is because he's the exception.
Bluetooth shouldn't ever be on except for when it needs to upload sleep data to your phone though (which I assume is done right when waking up).
Hm, watched for a while, but it's just him playing the game. Hopefully someone does a highlights reel or uploads a copy I can fast forward.
Seems like the fact that a device can link directly to the plane's control system has lead to a potentially-very-useful development that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

What danger is there in allowing things to connect? There's plenty of advantages, from making your own specialized sensor displays to making autopilot algorithms, but what's the disadvantage?
Celebrity industry - it's the modus operandi of some entertainment journalists.

Depends how much tax the government collects and what the government spends it on. Obviously, the problem can be solved in a nation as wealthy as the US, it just depends what they want to give up to obtain it.
What's pretty funny is that the new features in ES6 and ES7 makes a lot of the patterns/mishaps/X-parts from the last 15 years pretty irrelevant or less-obviously-'the way'.

Examples:

* "Class" syntax
* Comprehensions
* Modules
* `let` scoping
* Generators

It's a whole new ball game.

I think a lot (over 50%) of JavaScript devs 5 years from now will still be using <= ES5, but only because they've so settled in their ways over the last 10 years.
According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipod_touch#Models) there is actually a difference in processors for the 1G/2G iPod Touch:

1st generation: ARM11 620 MHz (underclocked to 400 MHz, then 412 MHz)

2nd generation: ARM11 620 MHz (underclocked to 533 MHz),[1] with internal ARM7 core for Jazelle acceleration

This seems inline with my experiences. My 1G ipod touch seems slower than my sister's 2G.
Sparkle (the update framework) uses WebKit, so everything that uses Sparkle links against it.
The "advertising clause" is only found in the old 4-clause BSD license though (or licenses derived from the 4-clause BSD). But that style has gone out of favor, as people found the advertising clauses caused problems, such as a proliferation of required attributions (especially obnoxious in the case of "badgeware" clauses which require something displayed as part of the UI), and not being GPL compatible.

But as long as you maintain the copyright notice (which is required by the vast majority of licenses) then attribution is implicit... you just have to read the code to find it.

I don't understand why that's an advantage? It's just another of Apple's control vices. The hardware of the phone functions independently of the software and vice versa. Maybe for things like fragmentation or updates it makes sense, but I don't really see Google putting on the brakes because they don't make the hardware. Ironically that's the very thing leading to the so called "fragmentation problem".
I think Thin should be added to the list as well, given that many newer Rack deployments are using it...
It would be "less brutish" if the app developer were to have done it?
Creator of the Mongrel web server that is used for Ruby web apps. Also, the creator of Lamson, the email framework for Python and several other projects. He has a reputation for speaking his mind, regardless of how you may feel about it. Personally, that gives him some serious marks in my book; saying what you mean, _and_ executing on it is an admirable trait.

I'm not trying to be an apologist here, but he's accomplished far more than I have on a good week.

> They did a great job hitting the big outstanding issues with the iPhone and pulling ahead in some key areas.

The only pain point that they didn't hit hard enough (as hard as they could) was battery life. They improved it, but they also traded away some of the improvement they could have made for thinness. Maybe my data points are biased, but I can't recall hearing anyone complain about how thick the previous model is. Whereas annoyance about remembering charge pretty much every day was something I've heard about lots of smartphones from moderate to heavy users.

Maybe those users are sure enough to upgrade from an iP3 the iP4, so they skipped that point of annoyance in favor of going for the "fits in a smaller purse" factor?
From the about section:

> How much does maintaining the servers cost?
> It depends on the amount of traffic, but the minimum baseline is around several thousands of US dollars every month. This is expected as inference is very GPU intensive and a sufficient number of instances need to be spun up to handle thousands of requests coming in every minute. Everything is paid out of pocket.

Wow, impressive commitment for something that's free.

The difference between 6 feet and 2m is about 20cm.
If using an ATMEGA is considered "cheating" as some in this thread have said, then using a RaspPi as the video chip is most definitely so.
A few other thoughts I want to get across here (I've been thinking about this a lot, and have started drafting a blog post, but probably won't post it because I don't really have answers, only want to encourage people to ask the right questions).

A computerized tracking system can't do a lot by itself. It needs to be integrated into deployment of health care services, including testing and treatment for people who get the virus, supporting a small army of people doing contact tracing using a combination of low-tech and high-tech methods, not to mention equipment and supplies.

Lastly, I'm surprised Maciej didn't bring up China's experience, as they do have some of this surveillance in place, and it also seems to help them be effective. I've been trying to learn more, but there's precious little in English. There's a "mini program" that is deployed in Alipay called sui shen ban (随申办), seemingly voluntary but with strong incentives.

I'm not what the best way forward is for the US, but I do strongly feel we should be talking and thinking about it. If there is a tool that can help significantly and we're not using it, that's a tragedy.

One of our early automated tools on the inkjet cartridge assembly line was controlled by a hp calculator that had an expansion slot. I think the app that opened and closed valves and actuators was written in BASIC. The workmanship of those things was at least as good as some modern PLCs.

In my district, it is not ideal, yet it is better than I expected.

The Junior high is sending out independent assignments where it makes sense - math, mostly, as there is existing online cirriculum with automated scoring. For English, they are reading books, then getting on a Zoom call with the whole class to discuss it. There are some ongoing Zoom calls to talk as a class. They are probably only covering half as much as they did while in the school building, but the topics they do cover are working well.

The elementary schools are varied - they are covering more topics, at a shallower level. Mostly, they are handing out online assignments and independent projects to do, and the kids are reporting back to the teachers. One of my kids' teacher is recording video each day to talk the kids through the daily plan and give them some encouragement.

Is this all perfect? No. But to go from in-classroom teaching to online with only 2 days to plan... I think they are doing fine.
Do you have recommended resources or advice with the online high school?

For some of us in states that cannot legally move forward with instruction, it might be an option to apply for an online high school.
Yes, I checked and all I see is 22 requests. I don't know where OP got the 504 numbers. It also loads instantly for me.

Ignore my comments, then.
Right now it’s paradoxical: according to the government, masks are useless for civilians, but essential to medical personnel.
Flour and Sugar are also gone here.

Come to think of it, this makes sense historically speaking. You can't eat it until you catch it.
Something about this bothers me a little.

For me, at least 80% of the value of HN comes from the discussions in the comments. There are some incredibly smart people here with extremely diverse backgrounds. I've benefited greatly not only from their insight, but from being forced to step back, rethink, and reevaluate my own thoughts on different issues.

By turning the contents into an RSS feed of hyperlinked articles, I think it strips away a lot of this value and removes the incentive to participate in the discussion. It devalues the site and turns it into just another source of links.

Maybe that's just me.

It'd probably bother me less if firstly, the feed linked to the HN article & discussion itself, and secondly, it came from somebody whose contribution to the site went beyond commenting on their own articles about creating RSS feeds of said site.
The biggest problem I have with this article is that it seems to believe the attraction of a musical career is the adulation of fans, despite several artists fairly clearly making big life decisions to avoid it. I’m not saying that isn’t what motivates some, but it’s worth considering that maybe, they do it because they love making music.
Thanks, this is what I was wondering! Seems a new language needs to have 200 repos which use it before GitHub will consider adding syntax highlighting for it..
Something I hadn't considered. I'm not sure I'd go in that direction but I'm curious what this would look like. Are you thinking of something like a weekly status update on projects/etc?
Monero's Market Cap is 4,2B & Volume was $164M today so... Kinda.

but also, no one moves that kind of money without thousands of microtransactions, plus the arbitrage bots start to feed when there's alot of volume making it more stable than the normal financial system.
A most inferior list. It's got trademarked versions of ordinary kinds of tape, but not my favorite tape: glass cloth tape.

Glass cloth tape, such as 3M 361 https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40068300/ , is remarkable stuff. It is, ironically, a much better tape for ducts than duct tape. It is also the only tape approved for use in Antarctic intermittent duty hot water systems, which have to swing from -40°C to +100°C and back. Daily. ("Approved for use" meaning here "doesn't fail right away".) It's not an all-purpose tape (especially not once you see the price), but nothing else can do what it can.
I definitely wish that Non-Lexical Lifetimes would eagerly drop anything that doesn't implement Drop.

It would probably be a breaking change to automatically call an explicit Drop implementation anywhere other than the end of the current scope, so I think that would have to be left as-is. String doesn't implement Drop, so it could easily be dropped eagerly within the scope as soon as it won't be referenced again. Such a change would be roughly equivalent to any of the compiler optimizations that reorder statements in ways that should be unobservable.
> I want to be elevating the voices of women, non-binary and trans people in these kinds of spaces so we can change the culture of our industry.

There is a kind of radical meritocracy about a github account. Nobody knows the gender of the member unless they make it explicit, so the counts of stars and watches and forks are largely unmarred by gender bias.

But this system does not noticeably elevate the voices of marginalized genders. To do so you would have to emphasize identity over blind merit. E.g. require that members identify their gender and highlight it as part of their profile or avatar, award some genders more stars or watches than others, prioritize their pull requests, etc. It's difficult to imagine a way to do this without compromising the quality of the code. Does equity require it anyway?

If we prioritize the hiring and promotion of some genders over others for coding jobs, the same tension exists between quality and equity.
wouldn’t that take years fo fix while this seems to be a short term shortage? i assume TSMC could ramp up before we can build factories
Arguably the entire reason that Rijndael won the AES competition is because it isn't "randomly mashed up". Each of the individual steps in AES is (relatively) simple and has an explainable design motivation.

Unfortunately I don't have any good advice on where to read up on designing ciphers, as I learned this in a uni course on symmetric cryptography.
