Google Maps bike directions are my killer app.
Unless you're running 64-bit, a program's memory space is not only finite but relatively minuscule, and exhausting it through wasted memory is definitely a possibility.
Do you really have people working 24x7 whose sole jobs are to look at images? Is approved or denied within a few seconds, or are they checking in batches? If I send 1000 images at once, how long would it take to hear back about all of them?
& is very handy, however it is also excruciatingly slow. It looks like it uses an O(n^2) algorithm, just from observing how slow it works.
He just brought that up as a part of a "wish list." Nothing has been implemented yet.
Yes, missing letters here (latest Chrome/OSX).
'Finding' similar items would be a very cool feature to ad. We're thinking something using NLP to find posts similar to the posts by people you follow, whether it be from HN or any other sites with an RSS that you want to follow through it. OK if we ping you if/when we add this feature?
Exactly. Tech companies are realizing there will be blowback from having a mob of rioters in the Capitol building posting selfies and videos. The government will be wanting those images.
A left-wing aligned media business has just taken a serious political action against the sitting president. They didn't even wait for the dust to settle and Trump to leave office. Twitter has not had time to link tweets in the internet world to actions in the real world; there is normally a settling after this sort of event where it turns out that what actually happened was different to the first two weeks of media reporting. When everyone calms down a month after the crisis, this will be looked back on as opening a can of worms that was a horrible mistake.

This protest in the Capitol is a right-wing escalation of a sustained left-wing effort to paint the 2016 election as illegitimate. The US is in trouble if this new thinking takes hold and businesses start exercising their right to discriminate politically. The country will be inoperable.
Trump will take up shop on Parler and be welcomed with open arms.
“War on (Domestic) Terror”
This is a coordinated escalation attempt. It's also groundwork for targeting individual conservatives who will no longer be able to easily reach out to others for help.
The media agenda is the same media agenda that there has always been and that's to make money. Whoever told you there's a media agenda is the one with the agenda that they aren't telling you about.
You can't do what for games? Avoid complexity? You can certainly try! Some bits of complexity will creep in. The important thing is to be aware of the cost and judge it appropriately, don't give low estimates for complexity-adding features. Include efforts to refactor complex stuff in the time budget. This is the same for games as other things.
And I agree with that framing, too.
ArXiv and a long list of other free repositories are way better than SciHub for legally sharing free-gratis access to scientific papers.

Yes there are many such repositories, but all are indexed e.g. by Google Scholar.
Moscow - Simferopol isn't international either.

One problem with this idea is that collective action problems exist. I truly want this new world, but my employment and promotion decisions are based on the old one (closed journals are older, and most of the prestigious journals are old and closed, and to get a job that's where I need to publish). Critically, the same is also true of all of my colleagues. So we all submit to the old journals, which thereby retain their prestige. In many ways, it's similar to platform economics, with Elsevier in place of WhatsApp.

(I'm also not sure that awesome == efficient + productive, but that's a different issue).

> breaking everyone's addons first with the XULening then with the addon cert fiasco

You're forgetting back when they first switched to the rapid release cycle they broke plugins every release. After 3-4 release breaking half my plugins each time I switched to Chromium. It was when they dumped the XUL based extensions and finally had a stable extension API that I switched back.
Stocks as entertainment. What a concept.
The west coast is heavy with tech talent because the tech companies are there. And tech companies are there because the tech talent is there. It's been a self-perpetuating feedback loop until now. With remote work normalized and proven to work to whatever extent it has, that feedback loop will start to break down.
Was just trying to do a pay-by-phone for my Chase credit card... all glitchy and wouldn’t work.
> What I want.. what I want is for people to stop accepting the world as it is just because it is in this set up in this particular configuration. I want people to realize that they can actually shape the world to fit their needs.

The more I do that - the more I want to go off into a corner and plant shit in the ground and stay the hell away from people. They are super dangerous. And honestly, I can shape the world exactly the way I want by doing it that way.

In all other efforts where people are involved, trying that for 42 years and it hasn't worked well yet.
The CCP is much bigger than the government and most CCP members don't have any government power, while at the same time there are influential posts in parts of the party that exist outside the government hierarchy (e. g. the Communist Youth League.)

So it's entirely possible to think that the CCP is full of parasites trying to mooch off the government while the people actually working in government are at least trying to grow the pie instead of just fighting for a bigger slice, or alternatively that the government is full of power-hungry people and the CCP's internal control mechanisms are at least limiting the worst excesses. So the two are not entirely synonymous.

I use Aurora just for this reason. RDS is just a great product. Doesn't even need the cloud sql proxy equivalent since you can just install the authenticator into the database.
It’s probably private because it is used for internal systems.

It’s probably .com because it’s for Mozilla Corporation as opposed to Mozilla Foundation.
I'll go ahead and shoot. The fact that this topic would be off-topic is just not true as the person speaking is in fact rms. Does this mean he is recuperated now? Everyone was calling him a pedophile and the FSF lost a lot of contacts over him being re-appointed. What does this mean then?

Tbh, I was curious what happened since last year and I didn't realize at the time he was somewhat apologetic, and honestly, it is hard for me to determine a lot of the veracity of the claims around him at the time and more so now. That said, as a leader of FSF and the free software movement, is he now recuperated, because his reputation since this episode, due to the truth or not, is pretty bad now and his being seen as a continuing leader of the movement could be seen as a liability. Should he be recuperated or should he not be?
takes kind of a strange person to make even a single "rat city" on a quarter-acre plot next to one's house, much less the 24 (presumably) successive rat "utopias"... what a strange (great) story.
Is it worth letting people die to fight snake oil salesmen? I’d say no imo.
perhaps you could explain where lethal characteristics come from.

are virus always absolutely lethal and then lose lethality as they evolve?

or do virus of non lethal character spontaneously become more lethal?
Small potatoes, but last week I started working through Project Euler problems as a soothing distraction. A good number of #1-50 are solvable as nice Python one-liners.

I’m getting bored of prime number puzzles though, so next up is dabbling in generative art and music.
But that's what you want -- if the tourists save a couple bucks on lodging then you get more tourists, who buy more food and merchandise etc. If they have to stay in an expensive hotel where you are but can get a cheap room in a competing country, many will go there instead.

And if you're worried about losing housing to rentals, now you've got some disused hotels you can turn into apartments or condos.
They said masks aren’t effective at stopping people getting sick. That’s misinformation. If they weren’t effective at reducing infection healthcare workers wouldn’t wear them.

Saying there aren’t enough for healthcare workers isn’t. Save respirators and surgical masks for healthcare workers. Wear a mask if you’re going outside even if it’s just a tshirt covering your face.
Hamachi was amazing. Just amazing. What.. 15 years ago? I still miss it after LogMeIn bought them.
Working on an extendible hashing based database. 10 years ago I've built a storage product with the extendible hashtable functionality. Seeing haveibeenpwned recently I realized there's a need for this kind of db so I decided to redo it as a standalone program. I'll do it in Rust instead of C++ this time.
I've seen it on the BBC news. The place is swarming with activists and reporters. Its definitely not being done in secret.
Luckily the difference in response is absolutely not emblematic of any serious structural issues in American policing, and we can all move on from this with no real reforms.
This is maybe the only “how we work” I’ve ever read that is actually appealing. It really does sound wonderful.

My only question is around health insurance for the US based folks (I’m guessing the answer is “take the money we pay you and go buy some” which is unfortunately not a good solution) but otherwise yes, sounds ideal.
This is no longer just the “President’s voice” being shut down. This is the shutdown of a man who incited a mob to attack the US Capitol.

It's very fair. Fox - and its equivalents - are run in a knowing and cynical way.

"No reasonable viewer would think Tucker Carlson is news." The media barons believe their consumers are idiots, and treat them accordingly.

You're going to have a hard time finding an equivalent statement from the progressive media.

This is about clash of fundamentally incompatible moral systems - one in which one group would like to operate entirely above the law on the superficial basis of skin colour and inherited wealth by appealing to lies and fantasy and the basest and most distorted human instincts, and another which wants humans, politics, society, business, science, and art to be better than that.
As of 2:00 PM yesterday, the underlying context that several of his supporters are ready, willing, and able to commit sedition in his name is painfully obvious and to deny it would be willful ignorance. After all, they were in the act of committing it [1]. The statements that Trump made would almost unquestionably meet the Brandenburg v Ohio bar of incitement to "imminent lawless action" given that context, urging his supporters (some of whom, given the context, would be willing to commit a felony) to march to Congress to--I don't recall the exact wording--tell them what they think.

If Trump gave that speech this morning, with full knowledge of what transpired, you would have a strong case that he incited to "imminent lawless action." However, that key context isn't necessarily present yesterday morning when Trump actually gave his speech. You can make a case that a reasonable person should have known that a portion of the crowd would react in "imminent lawless action" (which would meet the bar). Likely, the courts would have judged that it's just "politicians saying things they don't mean" and dismissed it on the side of caution. However, the knowledge that imminent lawless action did occur as a result may persuade some people that a reasonable person really should have been able to predict this outcome, and thus that the speech actually meets the bar for incitement. It definitely is not a slam-dunk violation, but the fact that it isn't slam-dunk clear really should give you pause.

[1] 18 USC §2384 is the statutory definition of sedition. The mob yesterday meets all elements: "two or more persons" who "conspire[d]" to "by force" "delay the execution of any law of the United States." It isn't hyperbole to say that their act was sedition, it was literally sedition yesterday.
Not heard of half of these but looks like Signal is by far the best alternative
I didn't realize how broadly Personal Health Information applied. Thanks for the information.
> If you bothered to read your link as far as the third paragraph, you would realize they redefine poverty to be $41k/year.

Considering I quoted the fourth paragraph...

$41k is a pretty small sum for a family of four. My family of four's health insurance premiums would eat up 1/4 of that. Our copays would eat up another 1/4. Not much money left for rent, insurance, food, transport to work, education, etc., let alone longer term stuff like college and retirement savings.
Does anybody but me find it sort of comic-booky that the head of Project Vigilant, a group surveilling the Internet so the government won't have to, is named "Uber"?
Even if the wealth came from a weekly poker game where purely chance determined who was wealthy, and it was zero sum. Wouldn't it still be reprehensible to expect the winner to pay the tab just because he won?
A country-wide move would make Linux being learnt in school much more useful. However, if the systems used in school are low powered and using software like, say, LXDE and then moving to Compiz-powered GNOME in situations where the specs work, would anything be accomplished?
If the chat logs say something different and the government lies about it to get an indictment, then it would be a disaster for the prosecution.

To be fair, MSFT revenue and net income has climbed steadily these past 10 years. AAPL finally overtook them in 2011-12. Microsoft very publically bumbles their consumer products, but their enterprise division is doing well AFAIK. And that's a steady reliable revenue stream compared to the fickle consumer market. AAPL is one bad iPhone away from getting beaten by Samsung.
Some people are claiming Balmer deserves some credit for keeping Microsoft profitable/status quo, but it seems like they're forgetting the stranglehold Gates had on computing when he left. It's not hard to keep the gravy train flowing. This is part of Balmer's problem, is that Microsoft thought it could stay current by essentially continuing its model of releasing new, sleeker versions of the same software every few years, ignoring that the fundamental way in which we interact with computers has changed drastically over the part decade. By the time they do innovate, they're too far behind to matter.
I really don't think Microsoft's main product offerings are that bad. The biggest issue with Metro and Windows Phone is a lack of developer support - and I think a significant part of that is caused by a lot of the best developers being either Apple or Google "fanboys". Office remains excellent, Windows 8 is excellent at what it intended for - office productivity, games, VS development etc.

But the media hates them, OEMs mostly don't seem to care very much about making good hardware for PCs, Windows tablets and windows phones. To me this is at least partly a symptom of their image problem.

EDIT: I say this as an open source advocate - I would love it if Linux based systems became more popular, but I recognize the quality of Microsoft's products in terms of what they are intended for.
Kind a similar thread with some answers and tips.

I’ve used the perl one as well. And while I’ll agree the XML handled needs to be simple, I’d say the the use case needn’t be.

At one job dealt with 10 and 20 Megabyte XML files on a daily basis - and I never thought of throwing XML::Simple at those. The results would be anything but Simple.

On the other hand I’ve run production code for years with an XML::Simple client to XML only RESTish API with ~100 endpoints. And that suckers still critical infrastructure - and barely being touched. Just humming along.
Yup. For example, one can camp > 1/4 mile from shelters/huts and more than 200ft away from of a body of water/trails/trailheads just about anywhere in the White Mountain National Forest in NH and Maine. Below alpine zone of course, except for winter (where you camp on greater than 2 feet of snow, but not many folks are that adventurous :)

they were regularly using uninsured drivers and not vetting. So unfit is fair.
No, there are properly decentralised domain name projects like namecoin which uses blockchain to control ownership of domains and zone edits in a more secure way.

There are a few other projects that decentralise domains and fix security issues, but our current federated system has become a heavily established billion dollar industry and the people in control of it have no incentive to give up that control.

Any move to a new system will have to come from end users who don't know there are issues, and don't care enough to spend the effort understanding the issue and solution.
Can someone help me imagine what a world with different math is like? It’s easy enough to imagine a world with different physics (such as in video games). But math is just a list of rules/axioms and the results of following those rules. They might find different axioms more applicable but our math should still work in their universe even if it’s considered pure math with no applications.

The C# and Go parsers do not use a parser generator, iirc.
Happens to me every time. Every major product I've built from the ground up was first greeted as heresy by those already in that particular industry, and then later copied by the same people.

By now I'm used to it, and use it as a gauge of how sneaky I'll have to be in marketing it.
That's exactly the taboo aspect of it.
Private transporting is not sustainable and it is not something that has to be affordable for everyone

I am curious how you get to decide on what should be affordable? And what if somebody disagrees?
Well to be honest if antivaxer asked a doctor to compare vaccines to essential oils you would probably do the same, or flat earther asked you to compare theory of flat earth vs cube earth vs geoid earth.

Interesting - thanks for posting. The difference in cortisol is useful to know about.
Hold on. What I'm talking about is someone putting a gun to another person's head and taking that person's can of soup to scarf it down in the bombed out ruins of a building[1]. I'm not talking about anything else. That people are facing hardship is not a surprise to me, but we're not quite at The Road yet.

As someone supporting a household with a cumulative 200k of debt, I know what the possibility of a chaotic new future feels like, believe me (and I AM privileged!) I'm specifically talking about the fantasy of blowing away armed marauders with a shotgun. We're on the edge, a job loss would be brutal to us, and I recognize that many have it even worse. I guess I'm pushing back against grim (and I believe largely baseless) cynicism about human nature.

[1]Mind you, I'm talking about the United States. Yemen, Libya, Syria, many other countries graced with the interference of the US and our allies are another subject.

> I've always thought that a language like Idris based on Dependent Types would by far be the best language for this.

As someone who loves the idea of dependent types, it seems to me that this is the best theoretical solution, but maybe not the best practical solution. If solving a simple-seeming domain problem involves modelling, not just first-order types, but the whole theory of dependent types, then I think people are going to start looking for escape hatches rather than upgrading their mental models.
Artillery must be guided to do that correct?
Depends on the attack, really. Some realistic threats:

- The hosting service doesn't wipe physical disks they discard.

- The hosting service doesn't wipe virtual disks between customers.

- Your offsite backup provider gets compromised.

- Someone conducts a non- targeted attack, dumps whatever SQL database they see, and leaves before they get noticed.

- Someone conducts a targeted attack but gets noticed before they can develop a working patch to compromise the service.

- Someone (e.g., a government) pressures your hosting provider for data but doesn't want you to know. Modifying your JS files would risk being noticed.
1 second might not be too agressive for initial log-in -- that is where the real problem he is trying to solve is. If the username + password are not unbounded strings, but say, fit in an array of a 100 chars, then you should expect to get that data a lot sooner than 1 second (maybe 200ms?). So then maybe you can handle 5K connections... Yeah you are right, this is still not as good as a good async framework but the point was that some smaller things can be tried before a complete re-write. It might just be good enough.
Killing connections after a full second has elapsed probably isn't at all aggressive in the context of a game server. If the connection is legit but takes a full second to send authentication info, then there's no hope for the game actually being playable over that connection.
Considering that you currently get 0%, that's not bad. If the cost is low enough and people could reduce they're electric bill by a small amount why not dual-purpose your windows? It might even pay for the upgrade over ten years.
This seems clever, but isn't this problem obviated by Push Triggers in iOS7?
We don't disagree, I think you are reacting to my post without actually reading it.

I'm not advocating that what's happening is ok. I'm talking about the physical act of speech, not the cultural or psychological aspects. I agree with you on those.

It's just that in the 1700s, if you were working on a newsletter or pamphlet (like, say, a Federalist Paper), your draft would be on paper in your home. If the government wanted to read it, they had to come to your home and seize it, in which case you don't have it anymore. Your speech is directly prevented in a physical way.

Today, your draft might be stored a server that is owned and operated by a 3rd party. The government does not need to come to your home to read it. In fact you would have no clue that it was accessed at all. You could go on with your life and publish as though the access never happened.

Am I saying this is OK or right? No. It just is.
I agree it's counterintuitive to walk out without talking to them. In a normal interaction that would look suspicious and rude. That's why it's good to think about what you would and should do in rare and fraught situations before you encounter them so that you aren't just reacting on intuition or on autopilot if you do.

I think the advice of walk out and don't talk to law enforcement unless you must and then not without your lawyer is good advice even if it may be hard or uncomfortable to execute.
Thanks for clarifying. How do you factor in considerations other than resilience? I assume the resilience question is an overlay that is applied when finalizing a decisions.
