While true, I know of many small businesses that give cash discounts because the credit card fees ruin the profit margin on small purchases. Sometimes they even lose money on transactions. For instance if you buy a scone for a $1.05, the credit card fees alone might come out to 38¢ for the merchant. This is why you often see "minimum card purchase $5" at coffee shops and small businesses.
Anything is possible, but it's not clear to me what advantage being in the standard library would actually bring. It is a pretty niche use-case (and I work in embedded these days), and it is pretty trivial to use a package.

Only the libs team can really say, and I'm not on that team.
I want people to earn and spend Bitcoin Cash. Almost all bitcoiners want this.
Those machines may have been a pleasure to use. I even tried some of them: sparcs, sgi and a few IBM powers. I mostly agree that " they have been proprietary stuff with proprietary apps which enabled some nice things, but lacked things I'd consider important".

Nevertheless, by 1996, linux was mostly a toy and a portable SGI would definitely impress me.

Although we had a SGI Fuel on our CG lab by early 2000's, linux pc's running compiz quickly stole their thunder.
Every complaint here boils down to: “it’s not docker, it doesn’t work exactly like docker, therefore it’s bad”.
FWIW, that's full screen mode only. I can't do that on option-Plus button sized screens.

You lose the menu bar and dock to full screen mode (they're hidden, more specifically).

In my experience there is significantly more variety.
In some markets this is called "parametric search".
I'm surprised they're not following Microsoft WSL2 and taking the virtualization approach. Ultimately the virtualization approach has better performance (fewer context switches) and much better compatibility. AFAICT one of the big reasons Microsoft gave up on WSL1 is that it's an infinite amount of work to reimplement all Linux kernel features. People kept running into obscure Linux features that were not supported.

Yes, virtualized Linux is somewhat less well-integrated, e.g. at the filesystem level, but that is getting better with tools like https://virtio-fs.gitlab.io. Most importantly, it's path that others are also taking, so you can share their work. This Fuschia-specific approach won't benefit from anyone else's work.

They even mention that they're going to support virtualized Linux as well, so here they're just proposing to do a lot of extra work.

I guess Google doesn't have to care how much extra work they create for themselves.
The avclub link makes more errors than I can count, honestly. For one, you don't combine the probabilities unless they're independent. So for example, the kid losing his knife and the murder being committed by the same kind of knife aren't independent, because it's plausible that the kid left the knife at his father's place and the actual killer used it to commit the murder.

The next problem is that prosecutors systematically reinforce confirmation bias in presenting their case. The probability that someone has brown eyes and is 5'7" tall and lives in New York and knows the victim and has a motive etc. etc. would seem to be strong evidence (especially if you're assuming them all to be independent, which they're not), but that only works if you're taking an unbiased sample of the possible characteristics of the perpetrator, which the prosecutor explicitly does the opposite of. If there is no apparent motive, or the knife used to kill the victim isn't a match for the one the defendant is known to have, or the perpetrator was wearing a suit and the defendant isn't known to own a suit, you won't hear any of that from the prosecution. And if you only consider the things that match, using the article's flawed method, all additional evidence can only ever increase the probability of guilt, since any evidence to the contrary doesn't make it into the calculation. All you have to do is keep collecting evidence and excluding anything that doesn't comport with the prosecution's theory of the crime and soon you have a seemingly insurmountable case.

Then you have the "DNA database" problem with statistics. Take a 1 in 10,000 chance and it sounds like solid proof ("99.99%") but if the population you're testing against is 6,000,000,000 people then you still have a pool of suspects containing 600,000 people. You can't then just pick one of those people arbitrarily and claim a 99.99% chance that that was the perpetrator, the probability that a person is the actual perpetrator if chosen at random from the group of individuals whose DNA would match is only ~0.000167%. It isn't good enough to prove that a defendant is statistically in the top thousand people in the city as far as probability to have been the perpetrator of a particular crime. You still have to exclude all the others or you'll convict the wrong man.

This is a nice, very readable article by a psychologist specialising in lifespan personality development: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/06/30/4840534...

"while personality traits are relatively stable over time, they can and often do gradually change across the life span. What's more, those changes are usually for the better. Many studies, including some of my own, show that most adults become more agreeable, conscientious and emotionally resilient as they age. But these changes tend to unfold across years or decades, rather than days or weeks"

I use TT-RSS (selfhosted) and it gives me everything I used GReader for. GReader closing was the best thing to happen to the RSS ecosystem as it lead to an explosion of new tools, most still up today.

I don’t think GReader led to a closing of feeds. It was simply a thing already happening. And even today the vast majority of sites still offer RSS feeds, I can’t even remember the last time I wanted to follow something, and it didn’t have a feed available.
A rough figure : 100gb is still fine with postresql but even then the problem is not the database (query) but rather your pipeline to get data into it. At this point you'll probalby optimize both.
I don’t carry a wallet anymore. I typically leave the house with just my phone, Apple Watch and sometimes AirPods. That covers almost everything I need. I just find a wallet to be very bulky while I almost never need it.

I’m technically identifiable by holding the button on my watch or the medical id button on my watch. I’m just not legally identifiable.
Yes, but the main reason I use VMs is to run different OSes. When I need to run other linux distros I normally use systemd-nspawn (or rarely LXC) and it's enough.

It's less than a year old, and it's an idea that has been slowly gaining momentum for the past 5 years, but is still far from critical mass. This article could have been written today and still be timely (although I will admit that it's a bit of preaching to the choir for engineering-centric startup folks).
It sounds less computery.
I didn't see that at all. The gesture recognition stuff all looks written from scratch and the integration code doesn't match anything from UIKit. There are thousands of lines of code added by Sony with only a few commented out sections, mostly well-commented code also. The only thing I could see that remotely looks like what you are talking about is this

// Adding and removing targets and actions
//- (void)addTarget:(id)targetaction:(SEL)action;
//- (void)removeTarget:(id)targetaction:(SEL)action;

// Adding and removing targets and actions
/***
- (void)addTarget:(id)targetaction:(SEL)action
{
}

- (void)removeTarget:(id)targetaction:(SEL)action
{
}
***/

This is an unused interface in SNGestureRecognizer. The name of one of the methods, addTarget, is the same as something from UIKit's UIControl. It's hardly a smoking gun, as it is unused and doesn't even match the method signature of the one from UIKit:

- (void)addTarget:(id)target action:(SEL)action forEvents:(int)eventMask;

It's certainly not the result of a reverse engineering dump. If anything, Sony engineers thought for a second that they would mimic UIKit's interfaces and then quickly scrapped the idea. The other commented regions look like you might expect from a normal codebase:

/*** Cannot assume touches will come simultaneously
// Not a valid pan if # of touches on view doesn't match
if ([touches count] != numberOfTouchesRequired ||
//[_view touchCount] != numberOfTouchesRequired)
[_hitTestedView touchCount] != numberOfTouchesRequired)
{
if (_state == SNGestureRecognizerStatePossible)
[self changeState: SNGestureRecognizerStateFailed];
else
[self changeState: SNGestureRecognizerStateCancelled];

return;
}
***/

Love it... but it'd be much less intrusive if you displayed the red border around new comments the second time you visit a comment thread. So the extensions would only change the screen if you visit a comment page more than once.

The red border is unbearable.
This was a Computer Science dissertation (by a good friend of mine). It scratched an itch, furthered someones education and checked the box of a required component of a degree course. I don't think it was looking to change the world. I don't think anyone is writing apps in Kat.
I am speechless! Now that I read the description I understand that I've always wanted one of these. At $100, they're not that expensive either. The possibilities are endless. Of course they limited it to cockroach legs euphemistically, but no reason not to use this for your next brain-computer interface.
There's a difference between being "unhappy with life" and being "unhappy with your life." Maybe folks who style themselves as philosophers and intellectuals are incapable of making this delineation -- or that we, reading their writings, do not see them as having done so. Time, cultural shifts, language.. these things are all dense filters.

You will gain something by listening to anyone. "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." And even though THAT advice is thousands of years old, we are nothing to each other if we cannot learn vicariously from shared experience.

This is a lot like what I try to do in interviews, because I'm mostly just trying to filter out liars. I pick projects out of the candidate's resume and ask them about things they had to have learned to do the job they did.

Microsoft employees surely post on HN, although perhaps none are authorized to speak on behalf of Microsoft. People can have opinions that favor or disfavor particular companies whether or not they work for those companies, so I wouldn't assume the place of employment of any participant here merely from what the participant posts.
Looking at her earlier posts, there was one in mid-May "Is blogging innately narcissistic?". I almost left a comment that Hers sure is.

It's even worse than he says: try using Safari to visit the VR demo at http://www.apple.com/html5/showcase/vr/ and you might be greeted with this:

This demo requires a browser that supports CSS 3D
transforms.

To view this demo, you’ll need Safari on Mac OS X Snow
Leopard, Safari on iPhone OS, or the latest WebKit
Nightly Build.

Here I am, some poor schmuck using Safari on regular Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Serves me right for being a few months out-of-date. (N.B. You'll never see a Snow Leopard on Safari—Snow Leopards live in Asia, not Africa.)
While the author makes some good points, I think he gets a little too enthusiastic, e.g. near the end:

"Your program will always be better off if you spend a day writing it 6 times, rather than designing it 6 times and writing it once."

Yes, but something like design, write, redesign, rewrite, rewrite... will likely be even better. And the more experienced you get---in the domain, the particular problem and orthogonally, the language, libraries and so on---the more you can do detailed design upfront and less code rewriting.
There's a difference between being socially rebuked for stating an unpopular opinion (which is what happened to Eich), and being followed and threatened by the FBI, wiretapped, put on a no-fly list, or imprisoned.
If you're wondering why the wolves weren't given the impossible food challenge at 5 months, the author notes in the comments:

> @K9TrainerTina: they were, actually. however, the 5 month old wolf pups mostly just went to sleep after initially failing to get the food, so they were excluded from the analysis.
I was just talking about the potential problems of FX last night - very interesting to see such an impressive and simple alternative approach. I'm not sure what the drawbacks are, but looking forward to seeing the discussion that grows from this.
I don't think he missed that, I think he used the wrong word to refer to non-commercial vehicles.
It looks like he has his emacs config on github [0]. emacs-modeline-mode-line{,2}.org [1] are probably what you're looking for.

[0] - https://github.com/howardabrams/dot-files/blob/master/emacs....

[1] - Yes, he writes his configs in org-mode. This is the first time I've actually seen literate programming used and it's beautiful.
Can agree. I used to be like this and loved the free pizza. Now I'm earning more working my slightly less shiny corporate job with sensible hours. I have time to cook decent pizza though!
I've become a real believer in the "portfolio". I make the assumption that any person with a github (bitbucket/etc) site with a track record is someone worth looking at; if their portfolio demonstrates quality work and the resume looks all right, I'll recommend them.

Yes, false negatives, people with horrible IP agreements get screwed, etc. False positives are much worse than false negatives in the common business wisdom.
That is literally the only reason I use Github for Windows. I'll have to check out SourceTree.
Don't forget the Pirate Bay!
The job of a journalist is to fact-check and separate fact from fiction.

Which is to say, when the subject of an article claims something, you should probably not print it verbatim without thinking it through at least a little bit, and maybe determine the credibility of what's being said.

It is not the job of a journalist to regurgitate sources blindly.

Otherwise... hey journalists, I am literally the second coming of Jesus, you guys should interview me and tell people I'm the Son of God.
More interesting is checkmate with two knights which is only possible if the other king makes a mistake. You cannot force it so if two good players end up in this situation, they mostly agree on a draw.
Thanks, but sarcasm aside, I was going on the premise of a far smaller share (<5%) for an innovative technology. I can see what everyone is saying though, seems like a bad idea. I'll just keep trying to flog it to investors.
sure i can work on that next. what initial categories would rock your world?

also, should i brand each category as its own site, or is the current model ok?
Twitter is a platform for communicating with the world, Facebook is platform for communicating within your social network. For the majority of people, Facebook will always be the more important platform because we _all_ have an interest in communicating with our social network. Fewer people have a reason to communicate with the world. Many here have start-ups they want to share, some people are trying to create music, and some just want to create a self-contained cult of personality.

As these kids get older I expect the division between who does and doesn't "graduate" to Twitter will depend on who evolves into having a reason to communicate with the world.

I do expect the percentage of people who will have a reason to "communicate with the world" will steadily increase, but slowly relative to one generation growing up. (As manufacturing/information technology increases, the size of companies will decrease -- smaller companies mean more people will have the role of "communicating with the world" for their company.)

Everyone will use Facebook.
I tried a Nexus S demo phone the other day, and was disappointed (comparing it with an iPhone 4). The Nexus (and most all Android) phones are jerky compared with iOS. It's also not as responsive. An example, when I zoom in to a webpage it takes a second to respond and then it zooms with a jerky motion. Android doesn't seem to respond as fast to swipes as well. I've had the G1, Nexus One, Evo 4g... and they've all been horrible to me. The biggest advantage Android has over the iPhone is price and a wide selection of handsets. I'm hoping Android 3.0 will bring a big design overhaul.
It's a cliche by now that oldsters always think that youngsters are spoiled by having it too easy. "In my day, we had to walk to school uphill two miles in the snow" etc. And, like so many other cliches, it's true!

Things used to really suck, and now they're a lot better. That happens every generation--mankind's physical culture does keep on improving in a lot of ways. Older people are proud of all the progress they've made. And young people take the new and improved stuff for granted and complain.

But that complaining is a good thing! Expectations keep increasing with every generation. If we didn't always have new people coming on scene and getting frustrated with the status quo, then we'd stagnate as a culture.

The kids are all right. It would be nice if they appreciated what they have more. On the other hand, they'll get old and have the same experience too.
Pardon me but I see only one kind of reference here. The five references above differ only with the kind of object they refer to. The "qualifying characters" you're talking about do not qualify the reference, but the referenced object.

I agree. It is a handy catch phrase that describes a real phenomenon. I tend to think in terms of variance. Programmer A is 3 standard deviations 'better' than programmer B (again, no mathematical rigor implied!!!).

Think of it in this way. Most of us are smart people, and learned relativity in high school or college. Those that didn't, could have. It ain't that hard. But how many could have discovered relativity at that time in history? None of us, I suspect. Put it how you want, Einstein is a 10x, he is 6std outside the mean, or whatever.

Same sort of things in software in my experience. If you have something really hard to do at work, you know who to give it to, right? You give it to (say) Jessica, who will come back in 3 days not only with it complete, but with all the ambiguities in the spec fixed, with 4 enhancements that you never thought of, documentation, and a framework that lets others in the company extend the functionality into other company products.

Or, you could give it to Jacob, who will need to be prodded for status updates week after week, and he'll eventually 'deliver' 10x the number of lines of code (hence just as productive by SLOC estimates!) for a substandard solution that is unreadable and fails on all the edge cases.

I call that 10x, without worrying about the math or quantitative part.

To anyone that disagrees, why all the hand wringing about hiring? Just hire anyone that crosses your door, they will be fine, right?
My bet is on Google stadia in a few years.

Not really. Most is pretty well standard SQL (CTE optimisation fence pre PG12 being one exception, and there are a couple more, but really it's mostly standard stuff).
Well, your “examples” was concerning the “market” for search engines where Google is the dominant player. Not some made up market of “search engines you can access by going to google.com”. The same type of “market” you are trying to make up for iOS.
Actually the "Garry's Mod 2: VR" will be that game-changing VR game.
I thought the same thing. The main difference is we don’t use “onety-X” and some of the vowel sounds are harmonized whereas in Chinese they remain in their base forms.

We also lack[1] the 10,000[2] word (but also Chinese doesn’t have the 100,000 word like some others do)

[1] that’s a near-pun.

[2] No one says myriad to mean 10,000.

This article brings up some good points regarding strict atheism, things that affect me personally.

I don't really believe in any God, to the extent that if someone were to ask me on the street if I believed then I'd flatly say "no", and explain a few reasons why I don't believe.

However, this article brings up some good points -- like the fact is that I find myself asking for help from God when I'm going through difficult times, wondering why God did this to me, etc... Sometime I can get behind God in a "power greater than myself" sense of the term, even if I don't exactly know what that is. Not all the time, but sometimes I also find myself wanting that feeling of connectedness that religion seems to bring. If I had to really describe my feelings on God, i'd say I was mostly an atheist, especially about any objective aspect of God, but, on a personal level, atheist-ish with a lot of confusion and uncertainly.
