I went to a big tech conference in San Francisco a couple of years back. Walking back to the hotel from Moscone Center, I found myself pacing evenly with what looked to be a bag lady. All of a sudden she loudly yelled "Watch out for that sh*t!"

I honestly thought she was having some sort of episode. But then I looked down and saw I'd stepped in it. She tried to warn me.
that’s a problem, yes, but orthogonal to it being in a monorepo. the google monorepo is NOTHING like a git monorepo
Envoy proxy seems to solve it reasonably.
Copper mountain has some decent VNAs given the price point.
> but when I see someone who believes a single company is universally good and their competitors universally bad, I get suspicious.

Ah, so you're suspicious of Google then? Good, so am I.
true, but sometimes, you don't have the jackhammer and have to improvise. c'est la vie :)
My statement giving the previous submissions got downvoted, then someone upvoted it again. Similarly, as I reply to you your comment is on 0, and I'm about to upvote it back to 1, because even though this discussion adds nothing significant to HN, neither (I believe) does it subtract significantly.

The issue of re-submissions comes up repeatedly. I flag them in part because I'm working (in a desultory fashion) on something I think will improve the situation and commenting on the duplications makes them easier for me to find later for my experiments, in part because sometimes the earlier submissions had useful commentary that's worth reading rather than repeating, and in part because it raises awareness of the problem.

Here's one suggestion I made for at least identifying some duplications: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1012215

Like you, I believe that some things are worth seeing again, but as such I think it would be better to have a library of well-regarded and well-respected articles for people to browse. To me, they don't really belong on HN, and I, personally, would like to see the problem/situation dealt with cleanly as an issue of "separation of concerns."

But I'm probably in a minority of 1, so I trundle away in the darkness. At least it keeps me busy.
Google voice is one of the most innovative apps? I've never even heard of it before today. Everyone I know uses Skype (which is on the iPhone, right?).
In my experience in Accenture I've seen several people 'benched' during a re-assignment, in some extreme cases for as much as 3 weeks - 1 month, but eleven months is utterly exaggerated. This is obviously bogus.
Plus, when you're in stand-by you're supposed to be at the company's main offices (normally, you'd be working at the client's premises) doing online or offline training.
Should be good for companies that lay cable. The parts of the world that most of us live in will now want to ensure that we do not rely upon traffic flows through the USA for the efficient operation of the Internet. (It is just a tad bigger than the President of the USA)
The first reply is rather amusing: Become the farmer. The life in village brings advantage for health more.

I think these sites are trying to cater more toward FUD-encumbered newbies than those for whom installing and having a play with a new language is second nature.

How condescending is it to write someone a letter saying that they don't understand people, and they should try falling in love?
I need a little more from my e-assistant.

A few tasks:

- answer appropriately my e-mail

- selecting the events that I'm interested in and booking the

- calling at home to tell that I'll be late or out for dinner.

I was just going to say I don't see any practical use-case, but you outlined one I didn't think of. One problem I foresee is the cross-email compatibility problems. It's a magnitude worse than browsers. This problem is obviously extenuated by the fact that misalignment could produce unrecognizable images. Assuming the technical side is rock solid, I could see people using this for logos in their email signatures along with social icons. I still don't see many people paying for this, much less understanding it. I also hate seeing company logos and facebook icons in email signatures since I just think it's useless and annoying.
In fairness, I thought he did a pretty good job. Better than I would have expected for a CEO :D and some of the audience questions were pretty good too.

I suspect he won't be going after Jimmy Fallon's job in 2020, though.
Apple was already mentioned. Tyco and ITT both come to mind as well, although I think the toy company and the for-profit college have licensing agreements with the respective industrial conglomerates.
I'm not sure that "killing" is the best word to use here. I would say that it is definitely making a dent. I've been using Netflix (and hulu) more and more, and torrents less and less.

Being able to instantly watch is a huge incentive for me. I also like to think that my views help the show stay on the air. Realistically, Hulu and Netflix viewcounts probably don't count much, but better than nothing right?
Really? Mine is definitely 50mbit/10mbit. Maybe it varies by location?
Stay prepared!
Anyone who thinks that solar will only double in install base by 2035 hasn't been paying attention. If it is, as the article says, up to 2% now, then by 2035 it should be up to a very large percentage of our current output.

The total amount of solar installed grew by 100% in 2010 http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/14/us-energy-solar-id...

The historical rate of growth for solar has been more like 33%. http://solarisforever.com/category/compound-average-growth-r...

Therefore, one has to ask, what is going to change? There are billions of dollars invested in scaling as quickly as possible. Are we going to run out of silicon? Unlikely. Are we going to run out of rare earths? Nope. Are we going to run out of space or demand? Perhaps, but not for a long time. I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to google for the sources to back those statements up so that I can make my ultimate point in a reasonable amount of text.

33% growth is doubling in a bit over 2 years. 10 doublings is a factor of 1024. So it is pretty reasonable to think that solar output will be well over 100% of our current output by 2035, and perhaps as much as 2000%.

Semiconductors is a space where mistakes take a while to bit you.

Although as we've seen with AMD, it is possible to come back from them. With the right course correction, Samsung is diversified enough to tough things out. Didn't they have a massive turnaround sometime in the 80's too?
I practice this by writing API documentation. When I can't seem to write code or want to take a break, I write out a plan of what I'm going to do or flesh out the documentation. Not only does it provide me a rigid framework for what I need to code, but it helps the user using my product as well.
Would have to make it an option, because we check in various AWS keys into private repos.

Also how do you differentiate an AWS root key (bad) vs an IAM Key (good)?

Nim's super power is being ridiculously productive (at least for me). Hack stuff out like a Python script, yet it runs really fast and is a tiny self contained executable, so you can just use it as is and move on to the next task. If you want manual memory management, that's easy too. Want to use a C/C++ library? No worries you have ABI compatibility. As you mention compiling to JS lets you use it as a web language and share code and types between front and back end.

Then you can automate code generation with the sublime macros, which are just standard Nim code to create Nim code. No new syntax or special rules required - any Nim code can be run at compile time or run time, so you can use standard/3rd party libraries at compile time to write macros and give the user a slick syntax whilst removing boilerplate.

I really miss languages without straight forward metaprogramming after using Nim. It's something that multiplies the power of a language, rather than just adds to it.
It's a little like AOL in the 1990s. A great business model, but one that won't outlast reliable internet access from service providers. Businesses like webcam studios bridge the gap until internet access catches up.

There are unsexy, short term business models for entrepreneurs.
> NATO need merely declare it has no offensive ambitions. Which it doesn’t. Then there’s no existential threat.

Let's examine that from a counterfactual standpoint. Let's say that during the invasion of Iraq Russia had decided to impose a no fly zone and then proceeded to shoot down American aircraft when they violated it. They of course declared that they have no offensive ambitions, they're simply helping to defend a sovereign nation against a larger aggressor. Would that have caused the United States to attack Russian forces?
FWIW if you want to run your Jellyfin on the public internet, you can use NAT hairpinning in your local network and have that subdomain resolve to your public IP, and still access it from within your network :).
> No reparations were made for 350 years of de jure oppression

This is what all the other posters are saying. Nearly everyone has some ancestry that was oppressed for an extended period of time and they are not receiving reparations for it. Why should black Americans be different?

When you consider how small changes made early amplify over time, there’s other groups of people with orders of magnitude greater claims to reparations.
did you just waste a min of your time by stating the obvious and trying to add some fuel to fire?

I'm not throwing a slippery slope anything out. You are failing to see the interconnected nature of all of the things I mentioned. Twitter and all the big tech companies should be nationalized, but they won't be because like financial institutions they are more powerful than any government at this point. If you think this power trip all these companies are currently on is going to end with the bad orange man then you are not very well versed in history.
There is a large research base on how companies can hire to gain the best workers. The smart thing to do is ask job candidates to go through a work-sample test. An additional thing to do (which involves some special legal steps in the United States, but can be done routinely in other countries) is to give each job candidate an IQ test. Evidence to back up these statements can be found in a FAQ

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5227923

I've posted here on HN from time to time, which I expect to add to my personal website in a while. A job candidate who doesn't want to do a work-sample test is a job candidate who doesn't want to work for a smart employer.
Well, what you can tell is wrong. The atomic bombs were horrific in their destructions and death toll, but not really any more than the conventional bombings. Even the Japanese didn't think much of Hiroshima based on that alone (they had gotten used to cities getting wiped out) and it took Nagasaki to make clear that this was really a game-changer.

I'm curious, is this a money issue, i.e., you refuse because it feels like working for free?

Not OP, but it doesn't "feel" like working for free. It is working for free.

Having someone perform work for you without paying them is illegal in the United States (see minimum wage laws).

There's a simple solution; pay them $x per hour to do your 3 hours of work. Even if you pay them $100 per hour that's a cheap way of filtering out pre-screened candidates.
Thanks for your unqualified, unevidenced opinion.
I wouldn't mind if YouTube showed me comments from people I know on top. It's not like YouTube comments could get worse...
It is a hosted solution and you pay for it, for starters. Ghost will be open source, you host it.

One thing I learned over the years is that "rhythm, size and spacing" is as effective as using different typefaces.

So one type, plus its italic form, is enough for most of your need. Two types and you can rule the world.
Sounds like one of the latest Stargate Universe episodes: "The Ancients discovered complexity and coherence, neither naturally occurring, in the cosmic background radiation left over from the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe." http://www.gateworld.net/universe/s2/207.shtml
Java's influenced all the languages now built to run on the JVM. Groovy, Scala, Clojure. Not sure if these will be used in several decades, but the fact that there are several already around is a good sign. Not to mention that I can guarantee we will be using Java in several decades.
Technical University of Madrid. I love the city but the university is generally out of sync with reality and passing is very hard, let alone getting good grades.
Illinois Institute of Technology. I love Chicago too, but it's cold!
I am going to be that nitpicking guy.

Raw resources don't matter that much. We have a lot of oil in the ground for example, what matters is how much human labor and energy it takes to extract the oil. Given enough energy and labor you can just recycle materials endlessly, you can take the CO2 in the atmosphere and turn it back into oil. The same applies to semiconductors. As others have said the earth is 10% silicon, but the real question is, how much does it cost (energy and labor) to extract it?
Start your own business, take your own risks.
I deleted my facebook account some years ago. Also, I set my Twitter account to private. I use it to be connected to some people, and read their stuff. I'm pretty happy.

Also, I have a second account for "open" discussions and work-related stuff that I barely use. It would be awesome if one could set certain tweets in a locked account to "visible for everyone".
SJW cancels another noble person
> If A forgets the ticket and B approves the building permit because of it, this is corruption.

That's not what I meant, there's no quid pro quo in my example. My point was that neither A nor B are above or below each other in a hierarchy, and there's no permanent power imbalance between them, and yet they could both be corrupt. Corruption doesn't require a hierarchy, and a flat hierarchy doesn't prevent corruption.
I think both comments above have taken the argument to the extremes on both ends.

OHO, I think RMS is making a point about the excuses governments and LEOs make in favor of censorship/anti-encryption - a good one, at that.

OTOH, he does a pretty piss-poor job describing it in that blurb. I'm not convinced this is an argument in favor of child pornography. I'm simply choosing to believe it's poor wording on RMS's part trying to make a point about encryption and he's not actually in favor of child pornography.
I sure he'd rather that he wasn't the topic of discussion.

If some people on HN started talking about AndyMcConachie would that be justification enough for getting you kicked from HN?

This is awesome. Minimal and elegant.
While I agree that sweatshop labor is deplorable, the flip side of that can be seen by looking at the number of tailor shops in your area or mine. It won't cost $3500 for any of them to make you a bespoke shirt, that's a guarantee.

Now a bespoke pair of shoes on the other hand...
I've never heard of one either, but it sounds like someone needs to start a competing one in that town...

How does the server process this information? I assume it uses a server-based language? Which languages are usable?

Sorry if i have a lot of questions. I understand it could be annoying.
My wife just got an tablet and she absolutely loves it. She now uses it for absolutely everything she used to use her smart-phone for (except phone-calls I guess).

She can't understand why she has to pick up the phone to use Whatsapp. Her solution has been to just use Facebook messenger instead.

That was my reaction as well when I considered whatsapp: Why would I sign up for a IM service which only works on my phone?

You may play this as a strength, but for a considerable amount of the user-base it seems like a pointless limitation. And the user-base sees that every other competitor offers this feature, and to them whatsapp is suddenly no longer that interesting.
Could you link to your friends in Twitter’s archive of state-linked information operations discussed here: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2021/disclosin... ?

Not only would that be very interesting to see, but I’m sure Twitter would like to improve their anti-foreign-propaganda efforts - slash it’s an opportunity to embarrass Twitter.

Wow! I like your C solution. I'm glad that at least the speedup is still measurable, but it's a close shave.

I implemented your "free 2x speedup" in asm [1]. Sure enough, solution time improved to 4.6us on my machine [2].

The web did win on the desktop. New desktop apps are web apps, except for clients to sync your files with a cloud service. The popular desktop apps all predate the rise of the web.

Also, having books and movies stuck in your amazon or apple account is convenient for consumption, but horrible for creation. You can't DO anything with that content. I've wanted to extract interesting stuff from books I own before and was forced to make screengrabs. If you don't understand what's wrong with the media rental model, go read "the right to read" by stallman.

Or just use a version control system with issue tracker support, like Fossil ?

Your mom and dad, or grandparents probably didn't need to know, even though they know how.

Most of their interactions were with local businesses, with people who, like themselves, were part of the local community. The unofficial grapevine worked pretty well for rooting out the good and bad mechanics, lawyers and florists. Your dad could change the oil, but almost certainly knew which mechanics could be trusted to have done what was on the invoice, and the few to avoid at all costs. Mostly if really was OK not to care, because they knew someone who did. The network meant something. Doubly so in smaller towns, and yes, small town life came with some downsides too. :)

That breaks horribly when recommendations are of global mega-multinationals, and most businesses on most high streets are national and international chains. A recommendation counts for nothing for a business of that scale, and an individual vote may be an employee you might never encounter again. The network means nothing, except as something to be gamed. Taking your custom elsewhere means nothing unless a million or two others do too. You have to care as no one else gives a shit about your interests, just the sale or commission. Except precisely none of us have the time for that.

If we want the benefits of larger scale business I think we need to start giving them some responsibilities too. Like a duty of care in law as exists in some areas already, but further reaching to consider the public interest as a priority. Without something the power imbalance is impossible.

Without constraint, large business takes the piss. It's time for some constraint. Then maybe we actually can depend on each other again.
I'm always on the lookout for climate hyperbole, but I don't think this is out of bounds. There's definitely anthropomorphic climate change happening and odds are it's not good, given the scale of the issues 'crisis' isn't a such a bad choice of words. Slightly alarmist but reasonable.
I envy the bubble you live in. If you have say $3M in the bank and you spend $50k / year then it lasts you 60 years doing nothing.
Not at all. Edit and continue is only a small part of what debuggers can be.
I have the opposite opinion on culling the data. This "preserve everything" attitude just smells like digital hoarding to me. Especially in the context of Twitter, which is mostly the noise with rare blips of the signal. And even in those cases the signal often is very specific to that moment in time and not that important later. The vision of a huge pile of digital trash with a few gold nuggets inside has zero appeal to me.
Have you used Swype? It's a touchscreen keyboard, but works in a very different way. Since your not physically lifting your finger you can really plow through words really quickly. Much faster than I ever could with a blackberry style Keyboard for me at least.
In my experience, there's certainly some truth to the Apple tax, especially here in New Zealand where Apple products are sold through third party distributors who want to add their margins to the retail price. Dell and HP will both sell directly to you, which can result in their prices being lower.

In saying that, what often gets overlooked is the "Apple rebate" that you get when you come to sell the machine. This would be difficult to measure with any degree of accuracy, but in my experience Apple products tend to hold their value for longer than Windows machines.
Still, that has little to do with politics ;P

Or at least .. little to do with banning political discussion.

I fully agree that a subject can only really be discussed a few times before it's boring - and only a few more after that before it becomes downright annoying - but I think this is a separate issue.
I can't speak for iPhone (though I imagine it's similar), but pretty much all your data can be recovered to your phone just by logging into your Google Account, from what I understand. If you use AppBrain, the apps you have installed will be saved too.
