Kind of off-topic, but somehow I've found that blogs that use that particular template (with the blue top header and all) pretty much always have content that I find interesting or useful. Often they contain niche information that's hard to come by elsewhere. Has anybody felt similarly/know what might cause this?

Good description but from what you’ve said the car industry didn’t “lie”.

Definition of “lie”:

> A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone

The car industry fucked up a forecast and cancelled based on their forecast. That’s not a lie.
What's the minimum amount of mass/volume of equipment needed to bootstrap, and what is the doubling rate of this infrastructure?
you could def use to read some books. old ones. stat.

congrats on being financially independent!

and sorry!

that's one good-ish thing about struggling financially - you don't have as much luxury to navel-gaze.

but if you're not actively working to undermine democracy, like at least some folks with money, then good on ya.

more concretely, i think one thing that is true for many people, whether they realize it or not, is that 'living for other people' is, or can be, 'the answer' or at least 'an answer'.

it sounds either cheesy or cliche or impossibly hippie, but i think in a sane world it'd probably just be common sense.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

good luck!

I've been struggling with chronic mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy for 13 months. Progressive loading, heavy/slow resistance work and your pick of eccentric, isometric or isotonic exercises are apparenlty the way forward. The biggest surprise has been the amount of quality information on Twitter; finding the people to follow is harder. If you're interested, good starting points are @SethONeill, @UDtendongroup, @kgSilbernagel, @tendonresearch, @TendonGlasgow, @IreneSDavis, @tendonpain, @ProfJillCook, @KFarnqvist, @lorenzo_masci, @sancho_igor and @pdkirwan. HTH!
yeah I appreciate it! I usually check wikipedia first, but nonetheless a good place to start
A quick google search finds "100 Great Bay Rd, Treasure Beach, Jamaica". Given that the retreat is in Jamaica listing the specific address seems pretty meaningless, you aren't going to be able to streetview it.

So many people do this... then vote for the same policies that got the high tax rates in the first place, as though taxes won't have to go up to pay for the hand-outs.
Except that they have stolen it. Through lobbying and other means, they've gotten the laws changed so that it's much easier for them to hoard vast amounts of money and not be taxed on it (low capital gains taxes, offshore tax shelters, etc). Simultaneously, they've gutted the power of unions, reduced social safety nets, and convinced a huge chunk of America that the ones that are really to blame are other poor people (who just happen to look slightly different than them).

There isn't just some random "exception" among the wealthy. They've very specifically engineered the economy so that they get vastly disproportionate amounts out of it.
"freedom to protest is important in and of itself"

That is your opinion, and while I agree with it, police exist to enforce laws (with discretion), not to promote or otherwise engage in discussions regarding civil liberties.

> More speech = more thinking

This is as true as saying "more code = more programming" -- possibly a technically correct statement, but if your goal is to create something valuable (to your business, to society) this won't help.
For DevOps, yes. Systemd can be a simpler solution than say Docker for some applications.
While you're absolutely correct, I've never seen an ad like that. They must exist, but they're also a tiny fraction of all ads.

One might also argue that a purely factual, straightforward ad is a fairly ineffective one -- one of the reasons no major corporation would point you to Wikipedia or an investigative news piece to learn more about them.

Assuming some amount of Darwinism in the ad space, people who make purely factual ads will go out of business pretty soon.
Some, yes, but I see fewer and fewer 8' beds these days. Most contractors and corporate construction vehicles seem to be the higher trim variety with 5-6' beds and extended cabs.

You can still haul 4x8' sheets, you just have to be more creative and haul fewer at a time. Otherwise if you need so many you'd reach capacity in an 8' bed, you'd likely have them delivered to the jobsite (yes, even if you own a truck).

I'd love my TV to not run their goddamn spyware, to not autoinstall apps, to not run spam "Channel Plus" notifications.
ISP here, the netflix cache appliance boxes (a single 1RU server is the minimum) are free, but you have to provide rack space, power and cooling for them. For an ISP in a place like a caribbean island it's a great idea because their upstream/IP transit rates are significantly higher than in the US48 states.
Cheap shared hosting that costs a few dollars a month and comes with managed support. In this market a LOT of folks are largely non-technical, and want to pay for a managed system. DigitalOcean is great for people like you and me, but if I'm a mom and pop shop with a simple site, I probably just want to FTP some PHP files to a folder and call it a decade, and be sure there's someone to call if something goes wrong.

See: GoDaddy hosting, BlueHost/DreamHost/Hostgator, etc.
Perhaps I'm weird, but I enjoy reading precisely because I can do it on my own schedule. Some days I'll read nothing, other days I'll spend hours reading. It's one of the few 'unstructured' things I have, and I would be loathe to put any kind of schedule on it.

Besides that, looking at my bookshelf, I have books ranging in length from roughly 200 to 1000 pages, some of the larger books with very small print. A fixed 2-week schedule seems to ignore the actual time required to read different length books; it imposes a possibly impractical 'beat' on what IMO should be a more organic process.
Really appreciate that link - and definitely a fact I will tuck away. Pacesetters and track surface... fascinating!

Still, I think the fact that the fastest man in the world at the time had tried multiple times to beat it and could not definitely puts a damper on anyone else trying to break a record.

Clearly technology and social forces were at work. Believing you can do something does not make it so. But NOT believing you can do something sure as hell isn't going to help you make it happen.
Oh, I see. I think VMs and containers are great for different reasons. I just don't like Docker. One of the cool features of Nix is that it can manage systems on bare metal, a VM, or a container.
Right, as can see by page 9 of the book,
traditional library cataloging techniques,
e.g., the Dewey Decimal System,
has a tough time knowing just where to
catalog a book, say,
History of Nineteenth Century European
Military Technology, that is,
in history, Europe, European history,
military history, history of technology,
military technology, European technology, etc.?

So, facets are a generalization
of the Dewey system that is supposed
to provide better options for such
cataloging challenges.
Okay.

In a sense Google's YouTube has a similar
problem: Often, maybe usually, at the
end of playing a video clip,
there is a display of related video
clips. So, if play a video of
Heifetz playing the Beethoven violin
concerto with von Karajan
(assuming there is such),
then what to recommend next,
anything by Heifetz, Beethoven,
violin, von Karajan, or any concerto,
any violin concerto, any violin music,
or just something related artistically,
determined however, any music from
near year 1800, etc.?

Right, there needs to be a better way.

Okay, been working on that. Got some
ideas and the code written. Loading
some initial data now, and intend to

Maybe you're right about that, but as long as employees like him, who are very dedicated to their companies, exist, then his point stands, I think.
I've started plenty of companies as well and there's a big difference between smart money and people you like. There are plenty of investors that are nice and friendly but are completely clueless when it comes to critical decision time. Some of the most knowledgeable and effective investors are not the kinds of people you would get a beer with at the end of the day.

I regret exactly the opposite decision - going with someone I preferred to work with over someone who would have been a better board member.
Site down already?
Yes! At some point my identity shifted to be "software developer" and then I stubbornly worked hard at making it a reality.
It's an inflammatory word whose use is designed to associate with despicable and unpleasant deeds. It's in bad taste to dilute the meaning of the word for personal vanity.
> I can buy a $10 microchip that's the size of a dime that can do it. Give it electricity, wait 15 minutes, the location comes out the other side.

How do you know when the 15 minutes starts, though? Dedicated GPSs tell you things like how many satellites they have in view and how accurate their fix is, but dumbed-down devices like to pretend location is magic. I'd hope they'd at least provide the gritty details through CoreLocation so a user can buy an app if she wants to know which bench outside the train station to sit at sipping coffee while the phone orients itself.
HN autocapitalizes the first letter of submissions. So it's most likely not the submitter's mistake.
Looks to me like guys trying to get banned PS3s back on the game network, not steal user info and credit card numbers.

[user12] know this, sony in realtime, monitors all messages over psn
[user12] I verified that, its part of my privacy threats thing I am doing
[user5] ok too bad id like the psn messenger on pc
[user12] the realtime monitoring is a bit bothersome to me

It seems plausible though that people were using this info to do things which violated Sony's security model and that their security model also didn't effectively separate credit card info from the game data.

For example, there were claims a few weeks ago (Wired or ARS I think) that they were all mixed together in the same SSL stream.
> Could I emit 500W or more with whatever modulation or lack thereof and not be prosecuted

You could emit 500w in the 2.4GHz ISM band legally as a ham radio operator, as there is an overlapping ham allocation, so long as you complied with the ham requirements (which limits you somewhat on the 'whatever modulation' front).

But why would you? You're limited to line of sight communications -- far less than 500w will get you to the horizon. :P The only application I can think of for 500w at 2.4GHz would be moon-bounce. :)

Outside of the ham radio overlap, any intentional transmission in that band would have to be via a type-certified device. ... So it's more a question of what devices the fcc will certify than what you're able to do.
The DPI doesn't need to buffer packets. Searches like this are performed using a regex compiled as a DFA or similar state machine. The state maintained per flow is a few machine words at most.

You'd have better luck sending the TCP packets out-of-order. But some DPI boxes will buffer these to a small degree to catch such shenanigans.

Source: in a previous life I worked on the layer-7 inspection subsystem (among others) of a DPI box.

EDIT: Also what @cpitman said. DPI boxes will often err on the side of caution. The DPI will happily kill your goofy-but-standards-compliant flow if it can't figure out that it's safe.
I just sent up an LXC container in 10 minutes to do GPU folding. Docker is much easier than LCX to configure, especially for GPU stuff. Really isn't that difficult. It's a single deb package.

Got that. My point was that you are choosing between a language that looks like Ruby and a language that looks like Lisp. That's a big difference and many people, I would assert, would choose one or the other without hesitation. For me, that would be Ruby.
There's this Sam Feld/Heartfeldt soundcloud playlist that I've been listening to for years and that song has been on there several. Never knew it was a recorder!
Also, the article's claim that most pages on the web make use of several iframes is laughable conjecture. Using their own site's poorly put-together home page as an example does not prove their point. And claiming that all free content on the web only exists because of advertising is disingenuous, to say the least.
I was referring to parent's claim "[in 1998] the concept of webapps must have been completely foreign".
IE 11 has automatic updates, check out its "info" dialog! Though I saw several corporate PCs where the admins turned the autoupdate off.

Older IE got updates through Windows Update. The last IE version for WinXP was IE 8.

If IE 12 doesn't come with a transparent IE compatibility mode and just starts a IE 11 window, corporate admins will probably set IE 11 as default browser.

So developers of enterprise websites are stuck with IE 11 and its almost finished but a bit broken HTML5 support for years to come :(
Sounds more like confirmation bias than cognitive dissonance. Still, nice read.
So math is not real? (So if science uses something imaginary, why is it better than religion?)

I should have been more clear.

By "argument", I mean't rock solid logical proof from axioms.

(This is more of a logician's term.)

I will show you a neat simple trick used in introductory logic classes.

"Reality is measured by evidence, not arguments."

What is the truth value (or probability of being true) of that sentence? Where is the physical data for that?
"But Moorcock, one of the most prolific living fantasists, sees Tolkien’s creation as little more than a conservative vision of the status quo, an adventure that brings its hero “There and Back Again,” rather than into a world where experience means you can’t go home again...”"

Can someone explain this to me? Well Bilbo does go home, he knows it is temporary and home - to/for him - is not what it once was, and Frodo's story line out-and-out states that he is going thru a change where he cannot go back.

If this is truly what Moorcock thinks, I don't see it.

nginx works very nicely as a DNS-over-TLS to DNS-over-TCP proxy, but yes you might want to choose stunnel instead if you don’t also want DoH.

(I have run DoH and DoT in production since 2018, using OpenResty, i.e. nginx plus LuaJIT, with the DoH protocol conversion written by me in Lua, and DoT using basic nginx as described in TFA.)
Right there in the boat with you.

I've used Linux extensively in the past (and OS/2, BeOS and more. Even spent a few years as assistant head developer to a deceased linux distribution), and MacOS X just works. Yes there are usually bugs in new major versions, but _nothing_ comes close in integration, be that between apps on the machine itself, or various devices in the Apple eco system.

Yes, you can do it all with different apps on different platforms, but until you've been "all in" you have no idea what i'm talking about.

Maybe you have an app that will extend your desktop on your tablet, now right click the desktop and select "scan document with iphone" and use your phone to scan a document directly to the desktop.

Need a password on your phone that is only on your computer ? fine, select it on your computer and paste it on your iphone. No special keys involved, it just works(tm)

No other platform offers that amount of integration.

considering that Apple is in the hardware business and relatively uninterested in my personal data, i also have a tendency to trust them with my data far more than i trust anything Microsoft or Google.

I've been a very happy Mac user since 2005, and nothing i've seen in recent years has done anything to change my mind. Whatever "obstacles" people run into, they somehow miss me completely. I still run homebrew or macports on my machine, install just whatever i like, and everything works as well as it ever did.
Agreed. But given the audience of HN, the argument appears to be one of bad faith.
Yeah I don't know either, at first I thought that someone made the "Asus AI" Windows app for Linux since you can control the BIOS "OC" settings via software too you can apply them in real time no reboot is needed.

But this is literally just "turn auto OC on in bios" and run some stress tests, P95 isn't a particularly good tool these days some of it's more demanding stress tests can crash stock systems, it's not super useful, OpenSSL isn't hard enough on the CPU in most cases, Blender is OK but again not necessarily THE stress test you should run.

Overall when it comes to OC you stress test should be your "production" workload and then it's a compromise between speed increase and stability, it all depends on what the likelihood of you encountering an error due to OC and how expensive it is to recover from an error.
This is a problem with floating point operations happening at a lower level than the error correction you're imagining. In principle, that's not at all necessary. Are you arguing that it's infeasibly expensive to design a chip with operations that are error correctable?
Yes thanks to Larry Nassir and Jerry Sandusky every volunteer parent on every youth sports club is seen as a potential pedophile. Mandatory background checks, mandatory training on bullying, harassment, hazing, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual misconduct is now required. It has really made it much more difficult for leagues to get volunteers because though many parents want to help, most don't want to have to submit to this level of scrutiny and demands on their time.
> economic conditions do not change someones quest for knowledge

Come on... are you for real? You're telling me that subsistence farmers should have the same "thirst for knowledge" as scholars in a rich economic and cultural centre of an empire? Of course economic conditions matter! Some people are even of the opinion that they're the only things that matter.

That's not true, I live in West Europe and I never used Whatsapp in my life. There are always alternatives to get informed here.
I've run both cloud and non-cloud applications. In my experience, you won't get 99.95% annual uptime over 5 years without a full-time sysadmin, the ability to provision a complete offsite infrastructure and fail over to it within a few hours, and a backup/restore process that you rigorously test every month or so.

You generally won't get all that for $2K to $3K a month. Sure, you can drop $15K on an expensive database server, and co-locate it somewhere. But that only works until somebody takes a backhoe to your fiber, your RAID controller fails catastrophically, somebody pwns your production server, your sysadmin flakes out, or you discover that your backup scripts have been broken for months.

Realistically, if you're only spending $2-3K per month on hosting and administration, you'll eventually experience one or more of the above, and your site may be down for a day or more.

This isn't to say that I'm happy about Heroku's long downtime. One of my clients was offline almost as long as you were. But I'm pleased that Heroku recognizes just how badly they screwed up, and that they're taking the two most important steps they can to prevent a recurrence: multi-region support, and continuous backups for everyone. Multi-region support may not be sufficient to protect against cascading Amazon outages, but it's a good start.

I think people jumped to the conclusion that Apple was logging your actual location, which would be a big deal, and published it as fact. It's a great story and gets traffic.

That said, I cannot imagine that if they'd contacted Apple about the issue they would have gotten a useful answer without the publicity.

Bottom line though is that any sufficiently sensational story gets traffic regardless of its truth or lack of attempt to even verify the veracity of the alleged problem.

The vocabulary was the most mind blowing feature of the book for me.

He is talking about people and creatures and things that are far removed from our everyday experience in one direction (the remote future), and he is doing so through archaic words that are just as far removed in the opposite direction (the remote past).
Thing is a good public option decimates the market for advanced private care of the level you have in the US.

Here in Norway the private health providers that do exist mostly deal with low-investment, low-asset, high-return cases. They will look into your psoriasis but ain't going to treat your cancer.

Fortunately the advanced care in public system is great. Still it's not unheard for patients that can afford it to go to the USA for specific treatments.
