Shameless plug - our Iglu Central is a central repository for commonly-used JSON Schemas. It's here: https://github.com/snowplow/iglu-central

You can think of it like RubyGems.org or Maven Central but for storing vendored, versioned data schemas instead of code.
But it doesn't make sense to say:

24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

That just really doesn't make sense at all. I know that the numbers means, and are for, but if someone is saying every hour in the year, to say 24/7/365 is just nonsense.

Of course, this is a losing battle. People just don't care if what they say makes sense, they just say stuff and assume that people will understand. This is one of the things that makes language bizarre, miraculous, infuriating, and impossible to analyse. I note examples like this because they are caltrops on the road for NLP.
The unlearning point is definitely true. After using CVS for many years, Arch and then git were conceptually difficult to get into, and I was an early adopter of both. Not because they are actually difficult, but because your years of understanding of "how version control works" simply doesn't map onto the new way of doing things.

The last few weeks, after using git for a decade now I guess, I had to use CVS to checkout and contribute some changes to a project still using CVS. Wow, was that painful! One does get used to the simplicty and features of git, and going backward to older tools makes one really appreciate what they give you.

It takes a lot of work for society to advance - not just technologically but in customs, mores, tolerance and freedoms. It's sad to see progress become negative . While war isn't the only way this happens, it has the additional sadness associated with loss of life.

I'm not sure I'll ever quite understand how two (theoretically) closely related groups can escalate their differences to the point that's occurred in the middle east - I guess the real question is how do you help both sides realize what they're losing?

In my experience ... spending a lot of time working in China ... most people use Astrill or ExpressVPN. I'm surprised no one has mentioned them here yet. They own the VPN market in China. Almost every senior developer I've met here subscribes to one or the other -- with Astrill being far ahead in terms of user base. They both champion their "stealth" options and other than the odd day you don't really notice the GFW.

Pretty much all the ISPs sell "international lines" as well. But only as part of their business packages. Usually it will run for about US$1k/mo - US$3k/mo with minimum 1-2 year contract for their "starter" package. Most tech companies in my area have them; they work very well. Essentially they are a hardline to Hong Kong and they ration out to subscribers.

They key thing to understand about the GFW is that it's not about general censorship of the population. Frankly the government doesn't care if someone who is middle class, i.e., invested in the status quo, gets around the GFW. They are more concerned about conservatives in lower classes trying to organize to stop the move towards capitalism. And it's mostly about protecting the market now so local companies can get access to these lower classes as their position improves and they join the middle class.

It's an interesting question. How many people have made choices that at least somewhat accounted for uncertainty in oil prices? You can't see the retirees who stayed in their suburban home instead of moving to rural Wyoming (I don't mean that there are tens of millions matching that description, I mean there are things that are really hard to measure).
Doesn't surprise me, honestly. The USA has gotten a fairly bad reputation the past two years after Snowden revealed all that. Didn't they start using Russian made microprocessors? Makes sense that they start banning Windows 10. Companies like Microsoft are at the mercy of the American government, at least up to a certain extent. It's sad, but that's how it works.

That Chinese worker may be worse off than the US worker he replaced, but he's better off than whatever else he would have done instead. That's why it's a win for the Chinese worker. It's also a win for the consumer who gets a cheaper phone and a win for the US company which reduces costs. The only loser seems to be the US worker, but is that really such a bad thing? Isn't this a force for equality? The poor getting richer and the (relatively) rich getting poorer?

I won't disagree that a privileged minority is making huge profits from this, but it's not a zero sum game so it isn't necessarily bad that that's happening.

I'd like to know if there's any other reason to restrict the international labor market beyond US workers being seen as more deserving than foreigners.
Any technology can be used for both good and bad. There's nothing inherently wrong with technology.

> I thought it was just a consequence of being on spotty < 5mbps(ADSL?) connections.... I can't imagine what living in these conditions 24/7/365 is like.

In my experience splitting my time between North America and China, the difference is not terribly noticeable once you invest in a solid VPN -- which everyone does.

The network speeds here are generally far better than NA -- in tier 1 and tier 2 cities at least. If you're accessing site in China, i.e., not going through the GFW, the average is far better than you'd find in the US. However the GFW slows everything down. However, there are a handful of VPN providers that specialize in getting through the GFW: notably Astrill and ExpressVPN. This those on my phone, tablet, and laptop it's easy, you'd never know you were in China -- expect the odd day when you have to hunt for a different server. Most experienced developers here subscribe to one of them.

Also, a lot of tech companies subscribe to "international lines". Pretty much all the ISPs offer them to business customers. They are expensive but they work very well. Usually about US$1k/mo to US$3k/mo on contract. The international lines are just hard lines to Hong Kong.
We use selenium tests as a last line of defense. Using it as your only integration test, however, seems a bad idea to me. There are more specific and faster possibilities for testing.

The thing that would make selenium a lot better, would be if browser vendors could agree on a standard for instrumentation. This is of course a perfect-world line of thinking.

This is pretty much the same bullshit as the key escrow systems that governments have been pushing.

Indeed. If the city loses its power, others will help. Trucks will come shipping food. If the whole power grid goes out, there won't be neither food nor enough fuel for truck to ship it.
I've spent a lot of time investigating nootropics over a couple of years, and I really don't think Modafinil does much.

It is great for feeling a little more awake when you're really sleep-deprived, but the tunnel-vision effect on high doses isn't always useful.

Exercise , healthy eating, and mindfulness will yield more benefits than any smart drug.
No, that is not true. Look at the atomic bomb for example. The technology here is not just nuclear fission – the bomb itself has a lot of unique technology.

There can be a lot inherently wrong with technology, and there quite often is.

you have to realize that sometimes it is not that easy for people to just leave. it's not like they just quickly buy a plane ticket and fly off to some safe country and the happy ending is complete.

you'll have to to be wealthy enough to afford finding a way out.
you'll have to be willing to leave your family/friends.
you'll have to be willing to leave the place you might be very attached to.
you'll have to be willing to put up with all the bullshit and xenophobia you'll be faced with, once you arrive in your "safe" destination.
As an expression of time, its origin is a relation to business hours. 24 hours is "we don't close overnight." 7 days is "we don't close on weekends." 365 days is "we don't close on holidays." Those are the standard periods of unavailability.

If the sole holiday were a single Golden Week sometime in the year, the idiom may indeed have been "24/7/52", but holidays are simply scattershot like that.
I can imagine that this is not easy. I'd like to hear some ideas to that though, as I lack all the details on what's going on there (just been there once on a business trip - and I know they treat foreigners with money much different)

> What you're describing isn't a modern power user OS -- you're describing iOS.

Hardly. Windows, Linux and OS X do not let you monkeypatch the entire system.
As is mentioned on the WebExtensions page, they want to add APIs enabling things like that.
Only if you know nothing about copyrights and intellectual property laws.

First, there was NO theft. Copyright isn't about theft, no matter how the media likes to portray it, what matters is the law. License violation. Not theft. Not stealing. Violating license.

Further,

> He went to a website, not under CERNs jurisdiction and downloaded a cracked copy of the software

Has absolutely no bearing on the license violation. None whatsoever. No theft, no "illegal downloading" (whatever that means), especially in the world's saner jurisdictions where reverse engineering and/or cracked software by itself is NOT illegal.

It doesn't matter where he got the copy, because a copyright license has nothing to do with obtaining or possession. So it can't be theft. Copyright license only covers WHAT you can do with a piece of intellectual property.

CERN has a site-license. If the student had downloaded the cracked software, from anywhere, but used it only on-site: No problem. Covered under the license. Bonus: no dongle required.

> It really is that simple.

It's not actually that complicated to stick to the legal facts either.
The strict requirement of using the exact title as the article was lifted a few months ago, but it doesn't mean that someone can editorialize freely the submission title. I think that the preferred alternative is one sentence of the subtitle / opening paragraph / abstract of the article.

In this case I can't find anything useful. I guess a correct alternative is to use the title of the previous submission to provide context so my proposal is

"Saving 25,000 Manual: It Is Done"

Anyway, the mods can disagree and change it back to the original, so YMMV.

(Note 1: They saved more than 25,000 :).)

(Note 2: I think your proposed title is good, but I tried to create one using cut&paste text from the article.)
To be honest, I haven't spent a huge amount of time exploring mecab and chasen, although I probably should. The decision to write our own was partially just because it seemed like a fun academic exercise, and we learned a lot from building it. We also have some features in mind for the future that it will be useful to have deep control over the the tokenizing and deconjugation, but those haven't made it into the app yet.
This has been the plan for several years. I remember seeing block diagrams for GlobalPlatform's Trusted Execution Environment[1] that were based on the idea of the "Rich OS" (OSX, Linux, etc) being able to run more or less normally, with something that isn't really a hypervisor providing the "secure"/"trusted" environment.

The idea is that a combination of a SecureBoot-style trusted boot sequence and technologies like Intel's SGX instructions to create an area that is protected from everything else, root included.

Ever since (heavily controlled) iOS was accepted by the tech crowd as a replacement for a proper General Purpose Computer, we've been slowly loosing more and more control. At least there seems to be workarounds for this particular OSX "feature". It is incredibly important to stop this trend now; it will be a lot harder to work around these restrictions when it gets hardware support.

Saying the poor have it better in Germany, would not be contradicting me. I openly acknowledge that there are numerous nations in which the poor are clearly better off than in America (eg: Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Germany etc).

There are exceptionally few large nations in which the poor are well off however. Nobody would want to discuss the poverty in Indonesia, Pakistan, China, Brazil, India, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Iran etc. In the top 20 large nations, there are only four countries that aren't mired in extreme levels of poverty: France, US, Germany, Japan. When I say extreme, I mean levels so horrible, that if you attempt to compare the standards to the US, people stop wanting to talk about it and consider the comparison to be inherently unfair.

The parent comment for example was being almost comical in their standard, given China has half a billion people living on $3 / day (people with few rights, that by law can't even own the farming land under their feet). Those half a billion people have seen very little improvement in 50 years if you inflation adjust that $3 backwards, and they've seen very little improvement in rights.

Germany is an exceptional nation, without a doubt. Just to be in the same neighborhood as Germany, while having 330 million people and to be as diverse as the US is, is a compliment.

Germany however is also in trouble, with poverty becoming a serious problem. Their lack of economic growth since 2007 is probably playing a big factor.

Thanks, it's useful to hear that the difference between "uncommon" and "rare" was unclear to you. I'll think about how to make that better.

I definitely would love to have a distinction in the app for "this is a word that any educated Japanese person would know". I haven't found the dataset yet that can let me build that, unfortunately. I checked, and in the case of 自問自答, it actually doesn't appear even once in any of the corpuses I'm using. So it seems like we need some other source of data.
I don't understand, how does it work exactly ?

If its just "follow your potential customers; unfollow them after a few days; repeat" what causes the potential customers to become actual customers ? Is it the act of following or unfollowing or the repetition of the sequence ?
I guess it really depends on what you care about when you think about "failure" and "success". The type of languages that are popular in the industry is just like the type of operating systems that are popular in the offices of companies. Nothing to do with being actually good. Just barely good enough to make something the company can profit off.
Thanks! That's something we've actually been working on. I've been pushing for less than a paragraph on the home screen so people can stop reading and go explore the site. I definitely agree with you.
> The strict requirement of using the exact title as the article was lifted a few months ago

The title thing seems to have caused confusion. dang has said that there hasn't been a change in policy (nor in the way the policy has been applied) and that the policy has always been "the original title is preferred except when it is misleading or linkbait."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8227198#up_8228566

But this meme of "you must only ever use the original title, even if it's terrible" is pretty strong.

I think people don't understand that HN seems to prefer titles that convey little meaning over titles that create kneejerk reactions. There are plenty of posts on HN from people who are responding to the title, and who haven't read the submitted article.

> By taking the license without paying for it

What do you think a software license is?

A physical piece of paper or something?

The student didn't "take" a license, if he could have, and did, there would not even have been a case because he would have had a license!

For clarity, not attacking you, just pointing out your completely inaccurate view of intellectual property law, with the intention that other people may not get any ideas this is actually how copyright works.

But don't worry, I won't call you out for being patronizing, not when you're the one being taught.
I'm not sure that you can shut down the power grid at 12hrs notice. From what I read, the closer the equipment is to the actual power generation, the less likely it is to be able to shut down like this and survive the process. So the end result would be that everyone's fridge still works, but the city can't get its electricity anyway.
What's the bodycount? Incidentally, may I ask how far back in history you are going, is it something more recent than this:

Historically operative systems was named after their kernel because each individual user put together the program that they wanted in their system. The actually term used was "Linux based operative systems", which comes from users starting with a linux kernel and then built everything else on top of it.

GNU is a project to create the individual parts which users need to make a operative system, which is why Stallman calls it GNU based operative systems. This is also attached to the historical context of users building their own systems by assembling parts to compile and run.

While we should recognize their historical and current contributions, Debian is based more on their community and policies than on any specific package.
I think I would introduce the new APIs through Jetpack (which has a formal separation between the extension proper and the APIs it uses, but ships the implementation for both). Once an extension uses only stabilised APIs (APIs taken from chromium could stabilise first, assuming there aren't too many abstraction leaks), label it as Forward-Compatible on AMO (similar to restartless addons). Help the top extensions port, and start breaking internal APIs more aggressively. Maybe start measuring the latency introduced by cross-process wrappers (assuming the extension that uses them can be determined at runtime), and warn about extensions that use them. The perception that Firefox is slow largely comes from that kind of compatibility hack, and people would probably make an informed choice to speed up their browser.

I think you mean "at least", rather than "but"? You'll notice the WP quote I gave includes restrictions post-Bernstein (and links to that case). Even these restrictions count as 'interfer[ing] with someone's publication of code', no?
