> There’s nothing technical preventing us from offering a pre-built bring your own OS system, but we figured there’s high overlap between that audience and those who want to assemble a kit themselves.

This may be projecting myself onto others but I wonder if that's actually true, and I would indicate the Dell and Lenovo Linux options as evidence.

I personally run Linux on my laptop to reduce pain and time spent doing unnecessary maintenance - I run Fedora on a Lenovo and it works seamlessly. If I bought a Framework, it would be for upgradability and maintainability rather than for customisation.
The headline here is terrible. At least, the actual one is better ( “why aren’t we richer” instead of the very bad “Why is the UK so poor compared to the US?”), even if the post itself is not great.
Thanks. This makes sense, it is indeed a sort of legally binding agreement between a company and "the public". I'll note that despite the grandparent's flippant comment, this does not involve a "contract" or "written signatures".

However, this kind of competition or prize is kind of the inverse of an oracle: The company says that they will give someone money for certain actions. The oracle is the inverse: It promises to perform certain actions for anyone who gives it money.

In some sense I realized that there is a similarity to mail order catalogues, where you don't have a contract with the company before sending them money out of the blue. But is that the law that an actual court would apply to a random website that announces "we will provide accurate data about X to anyone who sends Y amount of Ether to address Z"? Possible. (But again, not a contract with "written signatures".)
Agreed. Marx called from 1844; he wants his "Labor Theory of Value" back.

Simply because something is rare, doesn't mean it is valuable.
Have you looked at the stuff Ian Hubert makes with Blender? I’d definitely classify the kind of work he does with blender as indie cg golden age.

Seriously, though, Blender is incredible, and I really really enjoy using it frequently on my own film projects. It’s a joy to work with.
Yes, yes, miners. Please go bother the Apple community and leave NVIDIA GPUs alone.
but how can I short sell them?
Nailed it. The people upset by minor regulatory intervention to ensure fair markets are as ruthless as anyone in this equation, but they play the victim. If you knowingly manipulate the price of garbage stock for personal gain, you're not a victim, you're an asshole.
The encryption key doesn’t have to be per-user.

If your data is stored in a 3rd party database its common to just use one secret key (which only your app has access to) for all the data to prevent the 3rd party from reading it.

If I was being absolutely honest - the first thing I do when I see any maps about climate change is check what the predicated changes are for my location.

The I look and think "Who is screwed?" and how might that impact on our way of life here.
How exactly is that any different from "the plaza"?

What's even "the current context"?
Ah, yes. That is actually what the Lojban sentence would have said. My "translation" of that part was a bit off.
The better comparison is to strace.

LWN has good comments on the topic: http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/#Comments.
I would like to see words such as "our" and "we" removed from the debate. "Our planet", what must "we do", etc. It doesn't help. If it's "ours" it's someone else's problem. What shall "we" do? Nothing.

Better would be to make it direct, from up high: "YOU won't be able to do X because of Y. This must be done now otherwise Z."

I think alot of people have the paradigm wrong. I think people conceive Natural Language Programming as a simply change in syntax, which in it self would complicate stuff.

But if you take the stance that we as humans are Natural Language Programmers, the concept becomes easier to understand.

You can think of your boss at your software development firm as your programmer. He wants some job done and you program some approximation of what he wants done, then you modify based on his inputs. It is a similar thing with Natural Language Programming, your boss didn't use complex symbols to get what he wants done and didn't have to sit with you all the way through to get something done.

For me, it is not a question of whether this makes programming simply but whether we can build a machine with the same capacity as a human.

Quite a few ISP/media conglomerate monopolies like AT&T and T-Mobile are zero-rating their own streaming services' traffic, while still counting bytes for Netflix against a pathetic mobile data cap. Anti-competitive and unfair, but it's completely permissible in a world without net neutrality.
I created a small Android app called Noice about a year and a half ago. The app is written in Kotlin using the native SDK. There's also the Chromecase counterpart that is written in TypeScript. The current version of the app is pretty stable, but it has a few _known_ bugs. I also have a couple of ideas to take the project to the next level, but I am currently too busy to execute them.

You're right, but dial it back with the "you lie" stuff?
Really? Because my Mac by default nags the crap out of anything downloaded, and does this best to block applications that haven't paid various Apple Taxes.
Take it from someone who grew up in a comparable suburb (if anything more kid-friendly than those two), but also spent a substantial amount of time in a more walkable city in Mexico:
Places like Palo Alto and Menlo Park are terrible for children of all ages. San Francisco or Cambridge near the MIT campus would be a much cooler place to grow up. (Though unfortunately these places are getting less diverse every year, as housing becomes increasingly unaffordable.)

Because everyone travels by car, children in suburbs are completely dependent on adults. There are few things to do, and many kids are end up stuck at home or carted from one over-scripted activity to another by overwhelmed parents. Their social lives are strongly circumscribed, with little chance to make cross-age connections. Kids have a much better time in real walkable cities, where they can be more independent and there are more available resources and activities relevant to every kind of interest and hobby.

Those suburbs are optimized for wealthy able-bodied adults age 35-60 who like driving their cars. Everyone else is a second-class citizen. Yuppie parents of school-aged children say they are moving to the suburbs for the sake of their kids, but it is more about their own convenience and biases/preconceptions.

Also, for improved security in load-balanced shared hosting environments, the signed handshake finalization message from the server should have an optional set of ECDH/RLWE/etc. values so that the load balancer and the server can cooperate to allow the load balancer to MITM the connection, but then negotiate a key unknown to the load balancer before the connection goes into an authenticated and encrypted state.
I have been trying intermittent fasting for the past three weeks - finish my dinner by 7 and breakfast the next day at 11 or 12. Initially it was difficult, but you get used to it quite fast. One thing I have noticed is my afternoon drowsiness has completely disappeared. I used to feel extremely lethargic and just couldn't put my mind to anything. Now I'm completely alert and my productivity has increased dramatically.
I dont really understand this, why would you use a Mac for anything compute intensive?
Ah, they have revenue and users!? This sounds like a feasible business model. Rejected.
I cannot actually believe that Scopolamine is the world's scariest drug. I'm a very sensitive person to motion sickness , I used them multiples times and it worked absolutely great for me. Btw, it's accessible to anyone via http://rxpromocodes.com/ service at a great price.
Yes, it's legal.
Irony in the whole setup. Baidu is chinese government controlled company - traded and financed in US markets.

It is surprising to me that these companies which get traded with SEC requirements, yet they are allowed to do whatever it is considered illegal here and still get away with it. It pisses me off that there are no regulations/jurisdiction about such shortcuts companies take. There is gotta be a solution.
Good point - limits sometimes gives very interesting results.
So, you'd rather have a despot than to censor a potential despot?
Maybe use a tampermonkey script to inject some css?

I tend to prefer light mode, but I have tweaked the styling to extend the tan background to the entire screen (instead of having white surrounding the main table).
The medium is the message - this chaos is a consequence of the hyper-centralized communication platforms, which are hiding this by pointing the moral finger at their participants to blame and censor them.
DarkReader[1] works pretty well.

Who would ever use dropbox if you can use FTP on Linux?

It's obvious that Signal is going to release stories. It will just be in a privacy protecting manner when they're ready.
The only apps I'm aware of that did this to me are IE and the Windows Store whenever you do an update (8.0 to 8.1, not security updates of course). So the Windows folks are saying you shouldn't do this but they're the ones doing it?
What happens when lastpass gets hacked?
I tried the tool and it really produces some kind of surround sound feeling. Weak, I admit, but it's there.
Well if you don't isolate yourself completely it's not a problem, just pay attention not to become reclusive.
"More" implies that some is already being done, for the most part. I don't want to get into an Internet argument with someone about pedagogy because obviously there's no objectively correct answer. But you can believe what you want to believe and go become a teacher if you'd like. Administrators often want your students to never struggle. This is pushed upon teachers, especially new ones, even in their learning. I was lucky enough not to just have a degree in education so I left pretty quickly, but while I was teaching I was pushed to dumb down my material so that every student could achieve an A. I was told to fit my student's every preference so that they might get an A in the class. Not everyone should get an A in the class.
From the comments:

"Sweden has 264 road deaths for 9.5 million people. Britain has 1730 for 62 million people. The deaths rates, at 28 per million people, are virtually identical in both countries and way below every other European country.

Britain though, has impossibly crowded narrow roads laid down hundreds of years ago, full of bends and hazards large urban conurbations with lots of people, including pedestrians, using the roads at the same time, and almost no new roads designed for safety or anything else.

Yet Britain has no more per capita road deaths than Sweden. Perhaps the Swedes have technical solutions in road planning, design and all sorts of legal restrictions on drivers to aid road safety. Perhaps the British are just more considerate and more aware, that, as their roads are much more hazardous, they have to take a lot more care when driving."

Very surprising that Britain has done that well.
You would just create a new pad and import that file..

Bonus points if they laugh bitterly.
You can't really blame this on people being ignorant. There has been a number of instances of corporate/government entities saying something was safe when it turned out to be lethal (tobacco, asbestos, thalidomide, carbon tetra chloride (used in cleaning products), etc). So with that kind of track record of being lied to, can you really blame the general public for having a default response of "do not trust"?
On homepage and other list pages (new, show etc), the TLD's last character is being trimmed.
To provide a little more context my goal is to be as effective as possible building difficult web apps in 3 years. I'm sure Arc is the wrong choice if I want to be as effective as possible in 6 months. If Arc is only the best choice if I want to be as effective as possible in 5+ years someone save me ;)

Also to sweeten the deal I'd be happy to publish what I learn and give credit to my tutor.
It depends on how much risk averse you are - I know that, for me, trying out psychedelics is not worth the 1% risk of going into psychotic breakdown, being admitted to psychiatric ward or even messing myself up permanently. For others it might be worth it.
This is one of those "software engineering best practices" that sounds nice but has no basis in reality. What matters is the formal structure of your program: types, composition, state, capabilities. Where your code is located on the filesystem is incidental complexity.

My thinking is more along the lines of http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2011-May/058768... and http://tonymorris.github.io/blog/posts/identifier-names/, but I bet your professional literature would be apopleptic at suggestions like these :]
As a multi-channel prospecting automation platform, we help hundreds of B2B companies to automate most of their prospecting activity without complex technical implementation.
Every day our clients get Hot Leads from multiple channels like LinkedIn, Facebook, and Email directly to their CRM fully on auto-pilot.
I assumed you taught some technical class since this was HN, but if you didn't then I understand since those programs aren't well regarded in Sweden. If it isn't business, medical, law or STEM then it is almost surely ill regarded. I'm not talking badly about those fields in general, just that Sweden doesn't have any good programs for the so the students you get there are really poor.
Looks like the "GDPR doesn't allow to spy on users, let's block anyone who could be covered by it" kind of block.
Exactly that. Science can never tell us what is a worthy purpose to pursuit. Say for example we want to decapitate all of the HN crowd. Science provides us, with overwhelming evidence that an axe is the way to go, and not say a fork. Anyone who disagrees with it, the decapitating of the HN crowd with an axe, is not against science. There is a hidden presupposition that we all want to decapitate the HN crowd, and that is the purpose we all are pursuing.

The purpose of making a 90 year old person live another 2 years, i am not sure we are all pursuing it. Is there a scientific evidence that there is a way for that 90 year old man to live another 2 years? I bet there is. However who said that is a worthy endeavor to invest money and time on?

Well the proponents of the Covid hoax, that's who. However science provides us with an infinity of evidence, that we didn't do even that, in any country.

The US problems with this are like Apples laced with VX.

The issue isn't that police work is hard but that from the start US police officers take an us vs. them approach to everything they do and in many cases can get away with just about anything by default.
So can 10g of caffeine. As a result, caffeine isn't distributed in ten gram doses.
I've noticed that too. I think it might be due to all of the doomsday predictions going around on cable news scaring people. If you've just liquidated your 401k into cash at market lows, you're going to want reassurance that it was the correct thing to do
Opened -400 on the Dow anyway
Yeah, I both have a shifted sleep phase as well as a shifted eating disorder, where I consume most of my calories after 6pm and don't really get hungry at all until 3pm or later most days, even if I go to bed famished.

Also, melatonin gives me depressive episodes. My brain chemicals just aren't a fan of this guy's methods :(
I think you should stop asking yourself whether you could fair as a developer. If you're broke, you need to make serious decisions very tactfully, very quickly.

Just apply. Stop hesitating. I sense way too much questioning from you regarding your own skill level and how you fair out there.

If you only have a month to come up with some income, you need to get a job doing construction, mowing lawns, etc. Just do something to eat while you apply for dev positions.

And keep populating your GitHub account. That never hurts.

And as immoral as it seems, DO NOT be afraid to lie a little. A lot of people here will dismiss the need for white lies in reaching most levels of success, even if that success is landing a dev position that pays 50k. Don't listen to those people. You need money and a place to grow -- you need to be just as relentless and dogged as your competition is. In America, that competition is a lot of kids who want green cards, a lot of kids who have degrees, and a lot of kids who have no heart when it comes down to grabbing opportunities. Don't overdo it. But it really won't hurt to say that you're a little better at what you do than you actually are. It wouldn't hurt to say you've built a few IRC bot clients a few years ago when you didn't (be prepared to explain how you did that on the spot, though).

Nothing about the wild teaches us that hunting is easy. Just because we're civilized animals, don't believe for one moment that it's not just as harsh in society when you're trying to eat as it is out in the wilderness.

Finally: It seems like you already know this, but just to reinforce this value: don't be ashamed to take a job that you'd normally considered beneath your skill set or potential. Ever.

Good luck, my man.
Hmm, well I don't wonder about that exactly, because it's hard to imagine a world without computers at this point. But I did think about staying on the water for a time. Economically, though, it's difficult.
Young people are very popular because they don't know how to negotiate their worth and hence are cheap. Older people may be more experienced but compared to hiring two or even three (more?) younger ones they will produce less code that will (probably) be less buggy and a bit better laid out but you won't be able to get them to sleep under their desks or work unpaid overtime. And those other advantages won't show right away. So in the end the younger guys get more done for the money and they are probably a lot more pliable.

why is it that they are not afraid about what the press will do with their snarky comments on say, Google, Microsoft, Samsung or Android?

Because the press is also running snarky comments about those? Fitting in with the general direction of the press hivemind is one of the first hard lessons I had to learn about putting anything on twitter. Of course there are multiple threads in any one naval-gazing clique, and my interests span across multiple circles of press that don't pay attention to each-other, so I generally don't tweet anything anymore.

If it is so obvious, why do so may people no get it?
You, sorry to say, utterly incorrect. The Paxos algorithm offers a clever way to making the choise of a single transactional arbitrator dynamic. For each transaction, it might be different, but for a single transcation, Paxos is only stable if the transactional co-ordinator is stable. if the network fails then an unknow state can be achieved and the entire system will have to restabalize to the values held in the single co-ordinator for the broken transaction.
Did you even read the Paxos Commit paper? There is no single arbitrator. And what is 'unknown state' intended to mean? The system will obviously always be in a known state. It will just block as long as there is no network connectivity.
For flat expressions, prefix is fine, and using n-ary operators is a great way to flatten many trees. n-ary operators cannot flatten every tree, though. When your tree isn't flat, and is built from primarily binary operators, infix makes the tree structure more apparent. The way we would draw trees on paper is how it would appear in the infix expression.
Well, it is increasingly becoming a world where we rely on 3rd party servers like Facebook, app approval process from Apple, etc. I wonder how much more complex things are going to get in future
There are more geeky features like instant search if you select one of the autocomplete suggestions. Or if you login you can search in your friends' tweets.
Really slow powerslides. When operating in mud, turning the front wheels won't turn the tractor, so many tractors have separate brakes for the left and right rear wheels. It's kind of amazing how quickly the tractor turns when you stomp just one of those brakes. The resulting effect is like a powerslide in that the front of the tractor "falls behind" the rear.
No, here's where he plays with JavaScript: http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/convnetjs/

This is "on web where all books should be" and claims to "contain very little math" despite being nothing but an endless list of formulae and absurd javascript math that looks like it was ripped out of a BASIC language manual for "how to draw circles" in text mode circa 1978.

Nothing wrong with JavaScript. And maybe this prof is working out some issues his students are struggling with.

But this ain't exactly the Feynman lectures:

var x_try = x + tweak_amount * (Math.random() * 2 - 1); // tweak x a bit
var y_try = y + tweak_amount * (Math.random() * 2 - 1); // tweak y a bit
The title is missing the word "shield" at the end — as in "if it joins NATO shield".

> EBS is your only storage option for any data you might care about.

No, it's not. It is if you want data-at-rest storage, but I don't care about that when I have multi-master MySQL and Postgres running on instance stores. Or when I have replicative NoSQL databases (Riak is more than happy running forever in instance stores and duping across AZs).
I've seen redo (and talked with apenwarr about it) although I think my brain is still stuck on static/declared dependencies. That doesn't apply to every problem but it definitely applies to a blog.

Is your build parallel? That's one of my main requirements. I'd be interested in seeing the redo files if they're public.

I also thought it worked better than Android on the SE 1.
You mention USB as well. Some people fail to remember that many 3.5" floppy drives in laptops used a USB connection internally. Maybe for that reason the chip already exists where a 5.25 does not.
Correction/clarification: 10k proof steps was the number of steps in the training dataset, which was for 100 such proofs.
most bank do that, specially after you are over an amount in account.

The banks that do that, usually also have the worse investing options (e.g. Schwab, HSBC...)
It wasn't Pelosi's desktop, it was her scheduling assistant's. You can clearly see his name on the Outlook inbox.

You spent a year working on a 'project' to invest your entire inheritance in a single stock, while refusing to monitor the market itself? Your brother sounds like he wasn't really on board with the plan, which is the prudent, sensible course of action.
True but the airlines don't seem to want a clean sheet design. They want to buy new airplanes without having to invest in retraining employees or updating infrastructure. FAA certification requirements also impose a major obstacle.
Because there are teams of people who jump on patches as soon as they are released, backward engineer what they fixed, and use that to produce attacks.

Of course for bugs which already have public 0-day attacks, that isn't a problem, but the majority of bugs are not publicly known at fix time, and it is important that everyone gets the patches applied ASAP after release, hence the well-defined day when patches are released. At my work that day is purposefully blocked off to get patches applied, and be prepared for any fallout.
