Isn't that what they said about reddit? That mod abuse would result in alternative subreddits? Didn't really work out that way unfortunately.
Because if you can't communicate with your neighbors you are very unlikely to have a sense of community with them and some people prefer to have a sense of community with their neighbors rather than feeling disconnected and alienated from them.
Ah, true then.
What's the debugging problem you're worried about? I've been debugging HTTP for 20 years at this point, and I'm not sweating it.

99% of the time I'm using Wireshark, wget, curl, or my own client or server code, which is always using an HTTP library. 1% of the time I'll telnet to the raw port and type in some incantation.

I don't expect the 99% cases to be different; by the time I'm dealing with it much in the wild, I expect the tools to be fine. And the telnet-by-hand case is still going to work; you'll just have to keep using HTTP 1.0 or 1.1. Which is going to be supported in practice for decades more.
One of my favorite quotes: "Success is the process of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." I like it because it highlights that failure is a point event, while success is a process, a trajectory. So comparing the two is fallacious. It is possible for both to coexist.
Building code changes usually aren't applied to existing structures. Retaining cables were not a requirement in the early days.

Sometimes code changes are applied at the time of sale -- either by law, by the buyer as a condition of sale, or by a lender as a condition of loan.

Pretty sure retaining cables fall into the first (by law) category, for the safety reasons you mention. It's definitely something that building inspectors look for.

But yeah, rental property is infrequently sold and almost never managed proactively.

California municipalities will come looking for property owners who fail to perform seismic retrofits, but I've never heard of anyone hunting down retaining cable scofflaws.
I have to say, I'm glad I can now build a house of cards using JavaScript. I've tried and failed too many times in real life.

It's difficult to find humanely raised meat? I just go to the farmer's market and buy it straight from the farmer who raises grass-fed free range cows. If I would like to verify, I can head to her farm and see how she raises the cows myself.

Or I buy fish that are caught in sustainable ways, which have grown in their natural habitat and not subjected to any suffering beyond the catch (which is a necessary part of consuming them).

Yes, humanely raised meat (and milk, eggs, other animal products) is more expensive, but it's also tastier, and it feels good know the people who have grown and raised the food you eat. I balance out the extra expense, and impact of raising animals, by eating meat or fish only about 2 or 3 times per week; the rest of the time, I pick vegetarian options. That also makes it easier for me when dining with people; I leave my couple of omnivorous meals for the weekend, so I can have whatever's being served without having to cause extra trouble for my hosts.
Just a minor point, but what do you mean by “sustainably raised meat”? It seems reasonable to assume that the production of non-industrialized meat needs just as much or even more energy. Meat is cheap because it is efficiently produced, mostly disregarding the animals’ welfare. How can energy consumption go down by shedding efficiency in favor of animal welfare? Is that not what you mean by sustainable?
technically, it's 1.6.6 and above, just to be pedantic, but quite a number of people are at that now, it's nearly a year old now.
I'm not vegan, but I do advocate a more reasonable approach to meat. By eating less meat, you can afford to eat better quality meat. I've heard a few good suggestions that balance ethics, pragmatism, and nutrition, either following the rule "vegan before 6", so you save up meat and dairy products only for dinner, or "meat x3", where you eat high quality meat only three meals a week, with the rest vegetarian, which I've been trying to do, and it seems to work great, even in the midst of a workout routine.

I've also tried to convince people that shrimp and oysters are vegan, but I've had less luck with that.
What is the author's race?
NATO is just connecting the dots, which is what they are trained to do. Even as an American I have to concede that the conclusions they are drawing are measured and reasonable. Allies losing faith in the reliability of your security personnel is Exhibit A in the case for being extremely careful about who you hire as security personnel.
I laughed when his link to his article turned up a 404 at medium with account suspended. Not entirely sure yet if it was a morbid or cynical laugh.

At a more technical level, do we need a 4xx code for "memory holed"? Was this an oversight of the IETF, or should Medium and other discerning and socially responsible content providers use the other available 4xx codes?

Here, 404 "not found" is a pretty lie.

We could start off with the basic 400 "bad request". This is closer to the truth. In fact, it is too close to the truth because it means "client error". (Is it a crime yet to click on "not found" articles?)

So, ok, let's try 401 "unauthorized". This is still better than "not found" but, again, just a bit too honest.

But, really, Medium.com should be responding with 403 "Forbidden". This is the unvarnished truth from the mouth of the server.

403 - Forbidden: "The request contained valid data and was understood by the server, but the server is refusing action. This may be due to the user not having the necessary permissions for a resource or needing an account of some sort, or attempting a prohibited action e.g. creating a duplicate record where only one is allowed)."
The robotic voiceover video, and "product range" that looks like it came from a miniature barbie house suggests this might not be very real.
Seems like a design project.

Well, it's not like you're treated any different by anyone except losers so why care?
I got to try the purism librem and it was snappy and responsive. touchscreen input was fluid. I didn't try a lot of apps.

In comparison I saw some pine videos and every one seemed to be laggy and stuttery right at the main screen

I'm uncertain the root cause of this.

It could be hardware performance, but I would guess that's not all of it. It might be performance tuning.

I think apple does really good tuning on their hardware. The reason everyone senses apple is good/solid is because they've tuned the UI to be very responsive. It doesn't mean apple stuff will execute an app faster, it means that the touchscreen input and graphical output are highly linked/tuned. I think it's designed in.

I think that's probably the key to all of this. Put the touchscreen and the graphics in the same library, and dispatch to the app while preventing it from impacting the feedback loop. Then it won't matter that you have a slower phone or that your app is a script instead of compiled.
Only if you want to look like a drunk driver. I wish it worked like that, but all it does is jerk back to the center of the lane about half the time and then complain that "steering is required".
Your conscience will be vastly different depending on what culture you trained it in.
My entry is pretty lame in comparison to the rest of them. I think the judges did a phenomenal job picking the finalists.
Are there too few judges? Is expanding the judiciary an option? Are too many lawyers incompetent?

That's certainly why I don't connect any personal devices to the company Exchange infrastructure - they pay for an iPhone so I use it for work.

I have a dumb phone, iPod and an iPad for personal use - which I find a better combination than one do everything device.
Decades ago in grad school, I was under my 1969 VW bus doing maintenance. Had a set of combination wrenches at curbside. Ten year old blind kid who lived next door came out and wanted to know in detail what I was doing, and I talked him through what I was doing to get ready to pull the engine to install a new clutch plate & throwout bearing.

I could see the nuts and bolts, and knew what wrench size I needed, but when I'd reach for it, I'd often pick the wrong one (13mm felt pretty much like 12mm, etc.). He asked me to say (only once) the wrench size each time I picked one off the curb. Thereafter, he told me what size I was about to select as soon as I touched it, making it scrape ever so slightly against the concrete. Saved me some time by telling me when I was about to pick up the wrong wrench.

I wasn't surprised, as I'd seen him on his bike in the neighborhood, doing the click echolocation described in This American Life. I was in a neurophysiology program at the time, and was totally impressed with his living demo of neuroplasticity and audio world mapping.
I, too, want to hear about this mythical columnar database in Elixir (or databases!!, if there are two!).
> Florida is banning books

I don’t think they are banning a book, they just aren’t choosing it for their curriculum. These are very different things.
Ah ok fair enough, I didn't see that. Just looked for a link to click. In that case I'll participate!
"...We consider in this paper the problem of predicting the ability of a startup to attract investments using freely, publicly available data... As illustrated in our experiments, the method we propose yields results comparable to the ones making also use of structured data available in private databases..."

No, your 1, 2 or 3 don't help at all. If you see the elves or detect them, then they are not "invisible, undetectable elves", and your observation has no bearing on the truth of the sentence. So the sentence absolutely cannot ever be tested, cannot be said to be true or false, and therefore is in some sense outside the domain of logic.

You can have a separate argument about whether an untestable statement is necessarily "meaningless" (maybe the way it makes you feel is the meaning) but I believe the only point the author is trying to get across here is that some statements make predictions about the world, and some don't, and it's worth being aware of the difference.
What else do you use besides it?
As a young kid, you could drool over the Hero-1 and then Hero 2000 in the Heathkit catalog, but the prices put them well beyond conceivably obtainable. :)

Nowaways, it seems more like buying a DeLorean. Yes, one could swing the eBay price now, but it's not so practical, and you'd be buying it as a vintage restoration project, and hopefully the coolness of eventually driving it around town. Except that last part, but one could get a blog post out of it.
A wonderful reason to have pre-release testers for every piece of software that communicates with other software, any time you plan to push updates. With pulls, your early updaters are your test beds; with push, you have to create your testing groups.
Officials can be personally sued if they were exceeding the bounds of their official duties.

We don't allow officials to be sued for official actions for many, many reasons, not the least of which is that it would effectively render enforcement impossible.
I think you missed the point of the article. The ultimate goal is not to create startup communities but to create governments that are ran as startups.
The other difference is capturing the surplus. Fixing the economy would be worth trillions, but how do you get your piece of it? It's much easier to capture the surplus if you can insert yourself into the payment process for an already existing product.
Yeah. I think I'd file MUMPS under 'lifetime employment for my worst enemy'.
It's not more valuable, it's just possible, unlike most (all?) of the things you listed. (Not trying to be a jerk, those things are just virtually impossible with today's technology.)
Why 0.05? because 1 in 20~22: two standard deviations. so if your distribution isn't normal Gaussian you don't even have tradition on your side, (or perhaps 1 in 20 doesn't fit your risk model for say, testing pharmaceuticals?)

http://www.jerrydallal.com/lhsp/p05.htm

"Still, why should the value 0.05 be adopted as the universally accepted value for statistical significance? ... It was Fisher who suggested giving 0.05 its special status... The value for which P=0.05, or 1 in 20, is 1.96 or nearly 2 ...Deviations exceeding twice the standard deviation are thus formally regarded as significant. Using this criterion we should be led to follow up a false indication only once in 22 trials"
but computer like structures do pop up in incredibly simple situations. seashells for instance.

Because it's really messy, involves a lot of counter space, takes a fair amount of extra time, and isn't shelf stable.

Making your own pasta is a great idea. Also delicious. But it's like a Sunday afternoon idea.

Turning dried pasta into alkalized ramen-style noodles, though, is something you can set up in 4 minutes on a Tuesday night and then on Thursday when you remember you did that setup have for dinner in 3 minutes of cooking time.

The two cooking techniques just aren't comparable. The point of the Ideas In Food technique isn't to approximate fresh pasta. It's to make a better and more interesting use of dried pasta, which is simply a different product.
As another IBM employee, I second that. His rumor caused panic for a lot of people.
GB & Germany are getting closer to a balanced budget (Germany will probably get there next year). It's not impossible to pay off all debt, especially if inflation returns to healthy 3%.
You're argument is the same as this:

I'm poor and I like chicken sandwiches because all my friends like chicken sandwiches. I can't afford chicken sandwiches so I steal them instead so that I can fit in with my friends (sometimes I leave a couple quarters on the counter because that is all it costs them to make one and I'd like them to break even). The company I steal them from shouldn't be upset with me because I've been able to find out who has the best chicken sandwiches and when I have money I'll pay for my chicken sandwiches.

Yes, the company can say "consume and pay or don't consume" because they paid all the money to make the content in the first place. Any other option is stealing.
Seems to be back up.

On a related note, why do so many 3rd party clients fail to wrap their requests in a try/catch? Chromedeck just keeps spinning when Twitter goes down.
Possibly related to the English Royal wedding?
We're picking up the newer series of 5 tons, which get about 7 MPG with the latest revision turbo diesel. Earlier ones get about 4.

Little hard to swallow the fuel cost if you're planning on back-and-forth trips, but my route is a long, drawn out squiggle across north and south America, so we'll only be doing a few hundred miles a month. And, hey, no rent to pay!

I'd like to hear some examples.
I don’t think hacker news’ guidelines were assembled via consensus... I believe they were mostly a priori and the community formed around them
1. I dread that but it may be one option

3. What do you mean by system design?

5. Not in the US. Here everyone pays taxes and when you retire you get some small pension (a lot of senior people digging through dumpsters for bottles to earn extra money).
His point is if it were truly lethal they wouldn't just add it to the public water supply like that, or hastily dispose of what might be a biohazard in a public trash can.

In other words the TSA is full of shit.

If macOS wasn't UNIX-based it wouldn't have taken off for professionals to use. I quite enjoy the much better screens and my eyes are less tired when sitting at a Mac, but again, if it wasn't for UNIX, it wouldn't matter.
I think we are seeing the difference between software development and software engineering laid bare.

The distinction is similar to a property developer and a civil engineer. Both create buildings, but one does it at scale by offloading functions to known entities and prepackaged solutions, while the other understands one domain in depth.

Both are needed in any team or organization, because not every solution needs to be "engineered" (a Dockerized Redis instance without SSL or auth behind a corporate firewall may survive untouched for a decade), but sometimes you have to engineer something that withstands gale-force winds at 1000 ft height.
This makes sense, although having a great and a crappy job is a wide scale, with most people probably being in between somewhere. And switching jobs is not just about offers.

In my experience, looking for a (good) job takes a lot of time and energy, and OP's experience reflects this well: you do have a lot of calls, emails, interviews etc. that lead nowhere.

You may do the onsite interview to learn that their pay range is way off or that the office is just not a good workplace physically.

Even if everything looks nice in the benefits package, you can end up having a bad manager, teammates or too chaotic/boring/legacy/complex/(insert your nightmares here) projects - these are risks that you take on with any job switch, not just the risk of the job search itself.
Thanks, this was interesting. I'm also autistic but have been lucky enough to adapt my life around it (short commute, private office, understanding people I delegate to, live in a very small quiet city, etc. so public transport is not even an option.) Taking medication isn't something I want to do, but I'm interested to know how/if it's working for others.
They could create a database with hashes of these passwords and compare them with the recently leaked Gawker hashes. Not all of those passwords have been cracked yet, especially the more complex ones.

They're interested, but it couldn't be done. Any new tax would be a hammer for his political opponents. Not only does that scare his allies out of it, but even without that, there are some sincerely against it. So it couldn't possibly pass without basically forcing unanimity within his party.

There was a similar situation with the Affordable Care Act, a law which on its face is more popular (in that people actually favor its provisions, with a lot of benefits and relatively little tax consequences). Despite that his party got absolutely massacred in the next election -- in part because they spent so much capital getting it passed that they were unable to run on it despite its popularity.

This is something with far fewer immediately visible benefits, only costs. It's also something enormous numbers of economists say is by far the best solution, but voters don't particularly want to hear that when they can see that the price of gas went up. So not only wouldn't it work, but even trying would make it effectively impossible to do anything else.
It is a domain specific skill in many domains.
I remember the BYTE magazine article on the Agat:

The industrial design of it really stuck in my mind. Red!
Yes, but authorisation to do so must come from somewhere. In Java it's ambient. In a pure caps system, I'm not sure how it'd work.

>Furthermore the XML-based syntax is pretty ugly and needlessly verbose. It’s tiring to write by hand and just as tiring to parse or generate automatically.

What's even worse is that because XML is a garbage fire of a format, SVG actually builds its own micro-DSL to work around limitations.

So for instance you have something like:

<circle cx="10" cy="10" r="2" fill="red"/>

Ok, fair enough. Readable, self-describing.

But then you have:

<path d="M 10 10 H 90 V 90 H 10 L 10 10"/>

Oh. You can almost hear the designer saying "well fuck it, we'll just jam it all into a string.

The fact that SGML-based formats managed to become as popular as they are is really proof that there's something fundamentally rotten in software engineering.

I do quite like SVG though. I mean, if the alternative is drawing with CSS, it's pretty amazing. I don't really agree that it's hard to generate programmatically either, you just have to decide what subset of the format you need, look at what inkscape generates and go from there. If you need to generate basic shapes it's fairly straightforward.
I remember when Halo 2 came out, and there were so many people playing the game that a new glitch was discovered every day. When you have millions of users, flaws that you never thought about get discovered and exploited. Intel's long running dominance of the market means that a large number of smart people are trying to break the product every day. This is not complacency, but rather a consequence of success.
My cashier, although I do recognize them and enjoy a short conversation with them occassionally, cannot offer me any real benefits. They ring me up, take my money and let me go. Nurses? I (and my insurance) pay a hell of a lot whenver I visit any sort of medical professional... so no tip (frankly, I wish I could visit a medical professional more frequently and get their insight and reward them for helping me and my family live longer and better). I don't take public transit (it's not available/convient for where I live) and what would they offer me over the fare? Cleaners... I don't use those either, but I can see how a relationship based business transaction may be useful there too.

I'm not saying "tipping" is the only way to run an economy, only that in my experience I've found that it can be a very useful way to get a very nice experience in a way that doesn't exploit anyone; me the customer, the server, or the business owner. I'm sure many people take advantage of this either as customers, servers, or business owners... which is shameful in my opinion... but, for me it's worked out ok enough to be something I prefer enough to now want to give it up.
