"Because he isn't lying. Stuff comes up all the time. He was being polite and I'm betting he genuinely wanted to get to it. I'm sympathetic because I've done this often - told someone I'll get back to them and then been absolutely drowned in work. I always hold out hope I'll get back to to it but I never do."

I find it hard to believe that you can't spend 30s to shoot a quick email. I think you "think" you're being polite, but you're not. Leading someone on for weeks isn't being polite. That girl who you wanted to date, who leads on for a year, but always has other plans when you go to pick her up isn't being polite. She may think she is, but really she's being selfish.

"Thanks but we're busy" is the right thing to say if you're busy. And if you get busy later say, "Hey, we just got busy, gonna need to put this on hold. Don't know for how long". Took me about 5s to write.

Respect the time of other people as much as you respect your own time (because apparently your time is so valuable that you can't break 30s to send an email). That's being polite.
Yet another cash grab on technology companies by a EU country. Perhaps instead of driving companies out of the EU and then slapping them with random fines and regulation they should consider reforming their laws to be more business friendly.
VueJS SPA + simple REST API will get you a really nice experience for most CRUD type apps. For the backend I like Django.

Here's one. But where would you put it?

I really can't make up my mind. On the one hand, it's truly unhealthy for the overall job security and the social construct (which is normal given it's modelled after the US).

But on the other hand, it would have been a fucking travesty doing a lockdown without ordering on Uber eats and Co.

And those platforms were the innovators in the space. Restaurants who could develop similar platforms would have never allocated the money, and others who would never have had the opportunity to offer such services, would have never tapped the overall market (i.e. People with Internet who are hungry and need food for any reason, be it no groceries or just laziness).

Can't there be some sort of middle ground ?
I've never heard of Goodhart's law. To save others clicking on the link, it's:

> When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

In my experience, it might actually be a useful approximation of reality.
I think drones will save them. Can't wait to spend a romantic dinner in a small restaurant with my girlfriend and watch the delivery drones come and go, humming around us.
A bunch of my co-workers jumped on board, and with a good discount I gave it a shot as well.

When it's working fine it seems marginally better for wifi connections than a standard cheap consumer Soho router.

But that's the problem: it very often just doesn't work correctly. Port forwarding rules will sometimes, randomly, no longer apply. DNS issues will mysteriously crop up. Some clients seem to get a cut in downstream speed but not others (with or without enabling the setting to optimize channels). UPnP, if you choose to enable it, will mysteriously work for some clients but not others. Sometimes these issues will only happen for wireless clients, sometimes for wired, and sometimes for only a given port or AP.

It often feels like a double-NAT situation, but somehow with a regular, basic, client-only topology. My co-workers have reported both these issues and ones I have never seen.

The worst part is that you will go on the forums, sometimes find users with the same issue as you (and many responses) and then rarely see an official response beyond 'yeah that's a known bug, no eta'.

I've heard nothing but praises from friends for their other hardware. It's just the UDM that seems strangely awful.
> So I guess they never got around to implementing adoption.

If you think about this, it seems pretty obvious the reason they didn’t include adoption was that it’s overpowered. The CK series is all about managing dynasties, so the randomness of reproduction is a major game mechanic, one of the primary sources of problems and challenges. Adoption would totally negate all of that.

Like, if Henry VIII could just have adopted a son, his whole story would have been so much more straightforward! :)

(None of which really justifies the Paradox response, of course, since adoption isn’t necessary for having same-sex marriages (even player ones) and not losing.)
Depending on the jurisdiction, though, the judge may be an elected official that doesn't want to look "soft on crime" for re-election or even may be receiving a big chunk of campaign donations from private prison organizations.

It's an interesting open question whether judges should be elected or not (though I lean toward no due to the lack of visibility of their actions)... but what isn't up for debate is how corrupt the US election system is - as long as campaign finance is broken we can't expect the judiciary to fix things for us.

This is weird. I would definitely fail your interview. Yet, at the same time, I've shipped over a dozen products, dozens of releases, consistently, to hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people. I have a solid track record of clean, bug-free, efficient code. In 14 years of development, I've never had a bad review, and I've consistently ranked on the 'A-track' at all companies that I have worked for. I have low ego, work well with others, am a great teacher. Yet, my top priority is the craftsmanship of software: understanding user requirements and shipping great products that meet those requirements. My priority isn't being able to describe the intricacies of closures.
Whoah, aliasing shell commands to Docker one-offs for ethereal runs. Super useful, never thought of that.

This comment was a hidden gem in this thread, I've bookmarked that blog post.
Settles on a proposition that the iPad will consume and replace the Mac.

I don't agree with that position; I think the form factor of the Mac and the capabilities of MacOS are going to continue to be relevant, even in a world where a fully featured Xcode can be run from an iPad Pro.

It seems more realistic to me that apples' efforts to get catalyst to a point of usability is about enabling software to make a seamless transition to the arm architecture.
Well, fine, but. He gets lumped into existentialism whether he liked the term or not. And, yes, Nazis and the resistance. But there’s also Rieux’s struggle as an individual to confront the plague, ie the meaningless of existence and death, and define his existence.

Here's something I've been thinking about for a few days.

Suppose the government does a massive bailout of everyone. They guarantee jobs, they give everyone money so they don't run out.

And it works. In a few months from now, the economy turns out to have just hit a speed bump and everything is back to how it was.

What does that say about the economy? I mean if we can stop working and basically just lend ourselves money, and we're fine, what else is fine?

Why don't we borrow some money to fix climate change?

What about poverty, why would that exist at all?

Should we have a reckoning with all the people who said austerity was a good idea?
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3030563/big...

They want to make the networks transparent to the government, and apply machine learning for understanding the data and warnings the monitoring system will provide.

You either provide decryption keys, or your traffic will be dropped.
Specifics about how to make the military more efficient are probably out of scope (and out of depth for anyone here), but I agree we should spend less on it (and I think we could, without making any other changes, and still remain the dominant power by a wide margin)
Makes sense to me.

If you torrent a movie, you have to find it from a decent place (otherwise it could be a completely different movie, shitty release etc) then you may need to find captions for it, if you need them. This kind of thing isn't actually easy for non-technical people.

However I think it comes down to the fact: most people want to pay but shit is just so expensive otherwise.
>Not a good bet in my opinion.

McDonalds in one of the most popular restaurants in the world. Is it because it has better food?
Or to make it less abstract: Look at a rubics cube. Taking out all edges, just leaving the corners, is a homomorphisms that isn't an isomorphism.

Funny this. I created the Ruby Gem for this (gem install contextio to install it).
There's a theory about this. If one starts by learning object orientation first, it becomes second nature and easier to write well structured code afterwards(thinking of making smaller component, good structures etc) instead of vice versa, starting with procedural code and learning objects afterwards.

That's why most colleges start with Java and learn basics and object orientation, then move to C to learn memory management,pointers etc, and then Lisp and data structures to expand one's mind.

Though some courses start now with python which I find extremely cool. If I were to start again I'd like python since you can hack fully functional programs more quickly, and think about lists and data structures first instead of way later on. It also helps to rule out faster if the person is meant for programming or not.
No way! I wrote an opinionated comment? How rude of me!

> So either come up with your own filters, but don't try to push them on everyone else here. We are diverse enough to enjoy a bit of everything.

Are you suggesting that if I build filters I not share them with the community?

I think the point I'm trying to make is that Hacker News is no longer one size fits all. If I have to spend my time here searching amongst the crap to find something I want to read, it's just flat out not worth it. I've already started going back to Reddit much more often, because of their subreddits (after years of maybe once every 6 months or so browsing).
I wouldn't go into a panic, as if EVERYONE is using tumblr and doing this. It's just like those spam emails, where its a forward of a forward.

Relax, like all trends it'll run it's course and the next hip thing will happen. I don't see any problems with this because you are making a HUGE assumption. That if you use tumblr you are lazy and shallow because you didn't take the time to write out your thoughts? How do you know they aren't using other medians? It's just a big conclusion to make....unless you have the data to back it up.
I suggest everyone move to the hi quality stuff and start reading some Greg Egan, Vernor Vinge, or Charles Stross rather than this piddle.
"Standard of living" means different things to different people. One could say that you've acclimated yourself to a lower standard of living by burning up lots of time and money commuting and taking care of a car and large house.

My take is the same. And to add to it, being constantly analyzing every aspect of one's life leads to loss of creativity, spontaneity and joy. I understand we do cost benefit analysis when we make serious choices or even for all choices but as nathan_compton points out, we don't need to do that every single time. And to further add to it, being an artist in this day and age is a f-ing privilege because only rich people can afford it. There are lots of artists who are not rich but they are stressed out and find various jobs to make ends meet, specifically very modest ends, food and shelter.
Thanks again!

I'm working on it 2 days a week beside writing the book.

The next major milestone is receiving emails in the inbox, but I think it will take 2-4 months to have it working.
How much time do you spend supporting/interacting with your users? Have you had to sell any of them on your product directly?
Actually, buying gas is one of the few ways that you can immediately use a credit card without interacting with a preson and without having to give any info except possibly the zip code on the account.

I'd bet that it's not the person who stole the 75e6 credit cards that is buying gas, someone bought that number for $5 on some shady site.
What I found interesting here was the fact that gains in status that secretaries enjoyed after 70s, in turn, made them easier to get replaced more and more with computers (or offshoring):

"... in the 1970s, when the second wave of feminism began to undo the traditional dyad of male boss and female secretary, more than one secretary was fired for refusing to make, fetch or serve coffee."

This, of course, was the start of real professionalism for the vocation; however, with the loss of the human touch, i.e. being reduced to just a professional function, you will get replaced when/if that function can be replicated more cheaply.
This just makes financial sense.

1) Assume that square being successful will increase the number of credit card transactions.

2) Assume that Visa will make some money off of a fraction of those transactions

3) This means that an investment by Visa at market value will payoff at above market value since they make more money than just the market-value returns from their investment.
Hello Julien, the cluster and diskstore are completely different projects from the point of view of priority: Redis Cluster is all I'm doing every day more or less, but I stop from time to time in order to focus also on 2.4 since the cluster release date is too far (later this summer) to block everything else in the meantime: we need to provide something to the user at the same time we develop the cluster.

Diskstore is just an exercise for now. Likely we'll ship 2.4 that is an improved version of 2.2. Then Redis 3.0 that is 2.4 + cluster and other things. Later if even diskstore will be good enough, we'll ship it, but it is possible that we'll mark diskstore as "off topic".

About Redis Cluster, it is no longer into a private branch. It is into unstable, and you can even play with it, check the latest antirez.com blog posts for instructions. Currently I'm designing the second layer, that is the resharding and how master-slave nodes interact. It does not need much coding, but requires to get the details right now that we have a base.

You'll see something about Redis Cluster soon.

About scripting, don't think that every blog post I do means I'll spend a lot of time on it. What will happen is that in the following weeks at some time I'll send something like one or two mornings of work to get an alpha version with scripting and put it into a topic branch, post a message on the mailing list and a blog post. Everything else will wait for the later times.

I've the attitude of talking a lot, at the point the development of Redis is almost completely a public process.
I also change ideas often, that I think is a good idea, as to go forward without reconsidering what you are doing is not good. But this does not means that the development of Redis is a complex path that goes forward and backward, we actually are trying since Redis 2.2 to provide continuously updates not about features but about the quality of the implementation.

A more precise view of the actual development path can be seen looking at the 2.4 and unstable branches commit log messages.
Not only the DRM restrictions, but that they limited manufacturing licenses to other companies. MinkDiscs are the perfect size and a little more durable (scratch resistent) imo. It's a shame CD's won out.
"I once heard someone say that reading a book is like having a conversation with the author. Which means I’ve been able to chat with some really smart dudes: the former/current CEO’s of General Electric, Zappos and Amgen (one of the most successful biotech companies in the world) for instance."

Well, or a chat with their ghost writers.

I think that a lot of business writing really is pretty bad. On the other hand, it's pretty rude to tell somebody that a book that he is holding is a waste of time.
The majority of the calls I get are from entrepreneurs asking for business advice or my thoughts on their concept/ideas. I barely get any calls re: 37signals products.

Thanks OP, this actually made me laugh uproariously. Anyway, I'd be willing to bet 100 push-ups that (unless it was malicious and not a bug), this thing is caused by some clean up code somewhere that originally intended to do "rm -rf /path/to/squid/socket" but the function that was suppose to generate the "/path/to/squid/socket" string instead generated a null which was then parseString'd onto a "" via some + function that was trying to do "/" + null.

But I'm neither a redhat user nor an OS dev, so I might completely wrong.
From your link:

"for 3 cashiers, it’s about 3 times faster than having a single line for each cashier.”"

I would very much like someone to take me to a place in the physical world and show me an improvement of this magnitude. I simply cannot see how (in a setting like a bank or grocery store) this theory is nothing short of absolute insanity.

EDIT: I just watched that video - is that guy trolling viewers? If you lose 1/3 of your cashiers, it has no effect on total throughput if you are using a single line queue?

Just wow.

Not this particular attack, as this was a test intermediate only valid for 2 weeks, but the attack was limited to an internal corporate network. For other cases it would allow browser vendor to demand audit reports for example.
This is crazy! I've never heard of DSPD before, but I've explained to my girlfriend several times (as recently as a couple weeks ago) that no matter what time I go to bed, I don't really fall into a deep sleep, or fall asleep at all, until around 4am. I'll either be fully awake tossing and turning or I'll have a really light sleep. I'll wake up by myself around 11:30 or noon.

I have the same guilt about it as you do, and I'm a total baby about being woken up early. It's been this way my whole life.

I stopped contracting in 2001 (in the UK) and the rates I was charging then don't look much different to what is on offer today. It doesn't help that the UK tax authorities have been waging war against contractors, their latest wheeze is to force them into being employees.
I don’t think the price of home sales is a good measure of housing affordability.

Here’s a graph from Zillow which does not show a huge increase in last 30 years: http://www.doctorhousingbubble.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/0...

According to the American Housing Survey, housing as a percentage of income only increased from 19 to 22% from 1985 to 2005.

Overall, wages have exceeded or kept pace with inflation since 1979:

cap_net_bind_service is all or nothing: you either get permission to bind all service ports or none of them. So in this case it'd be more relevant for running authbind rootless too.

The actual modern solution here would be to use systemd socket activation (systemd binds the port and lets your process inherit it on startup).
it is not new, it is called Projection. It has been around for as long as humans existed. it is easier to spot today because of internet and archiving tools that means everything you ever say or do is recorded for all time.

Ah, well, yes, looks like I was right, too, though.

Unless I'm mistaken (and that's possible, I've changed my opinion twice now), my example outlined above is

- conceivable, and

- has 85% accuracy (85 people correctly identified as liars, 85% x 9900 = 8415 correctly identified as non-liars, thus a total of 85+8415=8500 of 10k total "accurately" identified), and

- still only 5% or 6% of flagged liars are actual liars.

EDIT to add:

And if the system is tweaked as you suggest, to very rarely fail to flag a liar:

- suppose it correctly flags all 100 liars as liars

- suppose accuracy is still 85%, thus 8500 people in total classified correctly

- thus 8400 non-liars flagged correctly, and the remaining 1500 non-liars flagged incorrectly

Now still only 6.25 % (100 of 1600) of people flagged as liars are actually liars. Thus, even with the tuning you suggest, this remains.

(Note to self: 1. think 2. write)
They won't run Linux-based software but they'll buy into a programming language called "Groovy"! ... LOL ...
Some architectures use 8 bit bytes, but not really. What I mean is: some architectures require a word bigger than 8 bits (16+) be aligned. As in: to read a 32 bit word from memory, the first octet must have an address ending in two zero bits. But if you want to read only a byte, alignment doesn’t matter. IIRC, ARM used to have this “alignment” requirement.

i think the right word is maybe "consumers" instead of "users"... the thing is, ipad and ios are fine for those use cases (super locked down, "safe", limited capabilities, better revenue funnel etc), dumbing down macos to get those users just hurts the macs value proposition imo
