When two worlds are different, each is "another world" to the other. What pg means is—well, actually, he tells us later in the same paragraph:

All the computer people use Macs or Linux now. Windows is for grandmas, like Macs used to be in the 90s. So not only does the desktop no longer matter, no one who cares about computers uses Microsoft's anyway.

Obviously, pg is exaggerating slightly here for effect, but if you go to a conference for a "cool" language like Elixir or Go—or even for a more established but still slightly edgy language like Python or Ruby—what you'll see in the audience is a few islands of Windows in a sea of Linux and Macs. Go to a more corporate-y conference and you'll see a lot more Windows. So—which world is the past, and which is the future? (Hint: At the corporate-y conference, are there more or fewer Macs than there were five years ago?)
Oh yeah it's super nice.
Anecdotally, I've just moved over from Linux development to Microsoft, for web stuff. Visual studio and F# are sweet, in some ways I feel like I've been living in the dark ages of development.

A year ago I wouldn't have imagined myself saying this, but once they started open sourcing their stuff, I decided to take a look.
They didn't understand why the article says that comparing hashes is "a completely ludicrous waste of time." In some cases, it's not (as you both mentioned).
i bought a house on redfin (my 2nd house) and if you are willing to put in time to scout out your house, it's a good cash savings. (which, probably you should, since you are going to live in it!)

I ended up touring maybe 15 houses. Reasonably sure that the house we got was the best deal out of them too.
And to add to that, how repairable if something breaks?

Frankly it sounds like google asked for what Porsche said no to, and had to relent (after Porsche had walked away)
Even if the FF number were not printed on the boarding pass, the booking reference/PNR and surname are generally enough to log in and retrieve the FF number from the booking.
Yeah, you're right. Total brainfart there.
I assume he is going to find money for people who want to make great interesting things and not have to worry about business stuff or the interests of investors.
I find that anything involving a lot of regular expressions is easier to write in Perl than in Python. Perl and JavaScript are the only two mainstream languages I know of where regular expressions are first-class citizens (compared to Python, where you need to do `re.compile(r'...')` and store that somewhere).
I secretly hope Microsoft and Windows dies. Then we can unite underneath a common core -- Unix!

Postgres is pretty mature, robust and easy to use, it does a reasonably good job of adopting ANSI SQL standards. It has partitioning and replication support out of the box, scales well across multiple processors, large amounts of RAM, has a decent query planner, performs sequential scans and hash joins efficiently, parallel scans, can do a form of index only scan as well as bitmap index conversions, supports data warehouse friendly functions such as analytic/windowing functions as well as connect-by clauses and (recursive and non-recursive) CTE's, pipelined table functions and custom aggregate functions. It also has Foreign Data Wrappers (FDW), so you can map your CSV's and other databases to virtual tables/partitions, MVCC concurrency (readers don't block writers and writers don't block readers) and row level locks, you can set the transaction isolation level appropriate to your requirements, logical constraints (foreign keys, uniqueness, CHECK constraints, uniqueness within intervals), extensible domain indexes (GIST/GIN, GIS geospatial indexes, full text search, k-Nearest Neighbor search support). Basically, it has a ton of functionality for data analysis, it's easy to use, reasonably efficient and reliable. You could build a whole company on it (Instagram, Pandora, Skype, and many others) and there are many SaaS options (eg Heroku, Amazon).
You made HN much more enjoyable for me today. Please consider continuing this trend in the future.

In the startup world, it's definitely dead, which is probably a decent indicator of a trend that will eventually engulf the entire business world. If my business goes huge, there's no way in hell we're running on Windows and I suspect a lot of other founders are thinking the same thing.
> "Furthermore, don't confuse password hashing algorithms with simple cryptographic hash functions. They're not the same thing:"

"Password hashing algorithms" should probably be replaced with "key derivation functions" - which makes it clearer what they are, and makes further reading (by the reader) into KDFs easier.

> No American could ever conceive of establishing the HQ of a US corporation outside the US

Maybe incorporation in US really is better, at least for US citizens. It's easier to deal with local courts than foreign courts. If your European subsidy runs afoul of some regulation in a major way then they probably can't take your assets from your US based parent company. Then US is arguably more business friendly in many ways.

Agreed. This is an 8-word tumblr post stretched out to be an entire "article" of content.

I honestly see no value added with any of the articles I looked at. Every single one could be replaced with links to reddit comments, maybe with some quotes of the reddit comments, and the images down at the bottom.

It's a little less sensationalist than Buzzfeed, and I'd rather look at this than Buzzfeed, but I really don't want to use either of them.

Seems like a moot point given that proprietary isn't free to begin with.
Well it's not so secret anymore haha. But why do you want Windows dead? I'm not much of a fan either, but competition is good.
In part it's because they were inflating/exaggerating legally recognized incomes (which were being systematically understated for the purpose of tax evasion), in a fashion which corrects the number towards a borrower's actual ability to repay the loan.

Part of me wonders whether in addition to the cultural factors counseling loan repayment whether some buyers did not have an actual, and possibly reasonable, fear of the bank taking extrajudicial measures to collect on debts. (i.e. "If you don't pay, we send thugs to beat up your family.") This is suggested as a standard enforcement mechanism for hui, which were known to be a common funding practice for the bank's borrowers, and those borrowers might naturally assume that the big, well-connected bank had levers stronger than sending a strongly worded letter in the event of default.

One imagines that the yakuza have a better repayment rate than borrower profiles would suggest, too, but that isn't primarily a consequence of their fluffy-bunny-community-involvement.
An interesting thought experiment is "What would the Internet be like if everyone used 6to4, without the anycast gateways?" I think it would have been deployed more rapidly, at the cost of being architecturally hideous.
this might be something to expect after all these years...seeing lots of dudes wish Windows to come back just to give Apple more pressure to make the next revolutionary product...this might be a alarm to Apple somehow by lacing breakthrough all these years.

Basic income is actually pretty rare, even among democracies. So it would seem you are empirically wrong. Not only will people not vote to augment basic income, they won't even vote for a modest basic income.

I don't think apple cares about the laptop market any more. Apple is and wants to be a phone company. Their MacBook Pro line is a legacy product. Also, their desktop OS is converging towards locked down mobile appliance and away from UNIX roots (it seems Apple won't be happy until they kill the file system access for the regular user and lock down OS X so only App Store apps can be run on it). In the end it will be a choice between buying a computer or a Mac.

So, to me Apple are out if the game. It will not be Apple who will give us the mobile workstation quality OS in a pocket device that can hook up to a screen around you and allow you to work like you do today on your desktop.
A few years ago everyone in the office was sick of answering the phone just to buzz people into the building.

So I rigged the downstairs call-box to call a Twilio number instead of ringing the office line. The Twilio bot would then prompt the user to enter a passcode, and would then buzz them into the building if the passcode they entered was correct.

This allowed us to give guests temporary passcodes to get into the building, and allowed us to track who was coming and going (because we gave every employee a unique code to use as well). Worked pretty well, and total setup time was just a couple hours.
Raw production cost only factors in slightly, there certainly is room and customer demand for boutique designs and customization options of such designs.

redfin gets more money with a higher price. And there are some homes redfin will not show you at all because the price is too low (and a middle range where they use "partner agents" rather than their own). And I'm not talking your 5-figure houses in suburbia, I'm talking condos in the city of boston. I have a rooftop pool, fitness center, and concierge in my building, but the price I bought my condo in 2014 was too low for redfin. Meanwhile, my buyer's agent from century 21 got 10% knocked off the list price for me, despite list being 75% of what I was willing to spend.
How does that not defy the single market system within EU? If they can get taxes on cars why can't they do it for other goods as well effectively introducing tariffs which aren't supposed to exist withing EU.
This is actually not the same thing. You can actually do the same things in Go/Python as you do in Java.

Windows is the one and only OS that runs video games well.

Same with a lot of other industries dealing with professionals who are not programmers. Example is modeling software (https://www.rhino3d.com/mac-feature-compare).

Maybe Valve will succeed with their Steam Boxes, but it's not the case yet.
And if you go to anything game dev related, you know, that place where all the cutting edge GPU related stuff happens, you'll see Windows everywhere.
If you're a US company and some of your users happen to be European, and you just ignore this and store all users' data in the US, what kinds of sanctions can be imposed by the European Court of Justice or national authorities in individual European countries? Do they have some way to block your site at the national / continental level or go after your users? Can they fine you, send you a bill and ask US authorities to seize your company's assets if you fail to comply, even though you're breaking no US laws?

If they can't take any enforcement action against non-compliant companies outside European borders, how does this decision even matter for non-European startups?

Sadly, that's the reality of most of the travel tech. Lots of legacy software using proprietary protocols running on IBM mainframes.
I know what you meant to say by "unlikely anything baring the Falcon name will ever leave low earth orbit", but note that the Falcon 9 upper stage drops off the satellite in Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) for every geosynch launch. Presumably DSCOVR's launch to L1 also involved some kind of not-low transfer orbit. And the 2nd Falcon heavy launch is planned to send the upper stage to much higher than LEO, where it will drop off a variety of small satellites, including Lightsail-B.

Ask HN: Let the community set a year on titles
Too many links are posted that are years old. Often with inflammatory titles, they look like link bait.

Then you get the obligatory comments about how it should be flagged as [2007] "please mods update the title".

It would be neat if HN allowed the community to flag a year on an article without particular permissions, with the ability to be overwritten if need be.

I don't imagine flame-wars of year changes on title happening or it being an issue. It'd be more like Tagging a title and have an official'ish [2007] after the title...

Anyway, it's just a thought. Clearly, the original poster does not care / left it off intentionally.
I suspect if you asked a historian you would get a much more nuanced view of the concept of a movement being "discredited"; especially any American leftist movement that was under significant state suppression for virtually all of its lifespan.

There were possibly more anarchists predating the first Red Scare using violent tactics than state socialists, but Eugene Debs still ended up in prison, and I think it's pretty impossible to claim he was somehow violent.

Further, a historian would tell you that a societies' definition of "violent" is highly contextual; for example, the Occupy movement was classified as "violent" and subsequently subject to significant (and actually, physically violent) repression because as other comments in this very thread have pointed out, they used nonviolent civil disobedience tactics similar to the 60's civil rights movement.

Further, since we can't experiment, we can't make statements about whether or not there were delays in civil rights because of any particular thing. It could very well be that violent tactics from "extreme" leaders like Malcolm X caused backlash, but it might also be that media presentation of these events in a certain way was more causal of backlash, or that these events were polarizing, resulting in some people identifying more with the civil rights struggle while others identified more strongly with white supremacy. So no, it is not enough for me. Why is it enough for you?

If you include the relevant IRS paperwork for handling it, Bitcoin is relatively expensive.

I bought and sold bitcoin and paid for things with bitcoin, but the associated paperwork to account for the gains and losses incurred by the inherently fluctuating price was onerous.

I believe in the premise of bitcoin, and still own some, but it's way easier to pull out my credit card to buy a cheeseburger than it is to use bitcoin and then compute the capital gains tax owed on my cheeseburger the following spring.
Which is not usually the case. At least for Start Alliance members I see my FFN printed on tickets.

I've got a Symphony account.

> 5. If you show up to a traditional brokerage and want to buy a 200k house then do you think they will send their top agent? On the other end, someone with a 1~2+ million budget will get the best agent and they will bend over backwards to keep you happy. This is true for Redfin or any traditional brokerage.

Do you actually know what redfin does for a $200k property in a city where that is "inexpensive"?

Let's look in Boston at a $229,000 property:

https://www.redfin.com/MA/Boston/198-Allston-St-02135/unit-1...

Quoting from redfin:

> Below Minimum Price
> To ensure every client gets the highest level of Redfin service during strong demand, Redfin is currently unable to service this property. Get more details
>
> To learn more or see this home, contact the listing agent directly:
> Jerome Bibuld: 617-642-5456
> Red Tree Real Estate

Yeah, redfin really is beating out traditional brokerages with that response.
great insight from the articles and comments.
It's not only about that, - cleaning logs is just simple example. The main big thing is about IF-Then-Else and it's up to you to choose what you put after that IF.

Things like:

* Building fully automated and really complex CI/CD workflows from several tools

* Do something with your AWS or RackSpace clusters based on monitoring event from NewRelic, Sensu, Nagios

* Automatic node replacement in cluster, migrating MySQL master (sleep well!)

* Security automation, based on detecting erroneous events and automatically freezing account/activity and then notifying human about the incident

* Create JIRA issue as part of Workflow, kind of detailed report after some action being done

* Listen for new events/changes in Trello/Kafka/GitHub/RabbitMQ/anything even Twitter and trigger an action

* Folks even using it for Smart Home Automation

* ChatOps thing: obtain info about your infrastructure from Chat or trigger your favorite CM tool: Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Salt.

Most probably anyone can imagine lots of use cases with their favorite DevOps tools, how to tie them together.

Moar Automation, - less routine!
My sense, playing with Perl 6, is that it could become a "pro tool" -- very deep and powerful. It needs to mature some (though it is very solid already) and to grow its ecosystem (though it can run much of CPAN via Inline::Perl5).

Larry's talk was a lot of fun, especially the way he zipped around between vi and terminal windows -- no need for presentation software.

The barcode is PDF417 and there are phone apps that scan and convert it to text (http://www.pdf417.mobi/) - in case you do not want to send this to some website. I played with it, decoding my own boarding passes, but did not find anything that was not already printed on the pass. Granted there was a lot of abbreviated gibberish which may have been something sensitive.
Personally, I've always found Redfin so much better than Zillow in the areas that are covered by Redfin (better data, better UI, overall better user experience). Having lived only in such areas for more than 10 years, I was surprised a few years ago to discover that Zillow was the industry leader.
Here are some other keys that are a massive waste for 99% of users:

* Home

* End

* Backtick/tilde ` ~

* Backslash/pipe \ |

* PrtScn

* Break/Pause

* Any F key that is not F1 or F5

When's the last time most users typed a backslash? A pipe char? A backtick?!
(If you say "in a command prompt" you are not talking about the mythical 99% of users)

Depending on the audience, [delete] is a waste of space too - a lot of people just use backspace. Would you abandon it?

Not being useful for everybody doesn't mean it's useful for nobody.

The simple answer is, yes.
One of my Twitter followers posted a gist: https://gist.github.com/paulodiniz/39698ac1fe5f62e3180e

Sure, I was just addressing the "I don't know how to do that." Rails offer this for models in certain circumstances, for example.
Backlashes are not a hypothesis. The idea(s) that all movements can or should avoid militancy or that there is some easy guide to when mililtancy is and is not appropriate are extremely weak and questionable hypotheses.
Interesting; I haven't tried messing with the drivers since Windows 8.1 but using the default ones didn't support two finger scrolling and just seemed wonky. The two finger tap works on either though; I want the two finger click. Taps don't work well in games :)
I don't get it.

If you don't like it, just leave, work with another team. It IS that simple.

The headline says 10 billion, the article says 10 million. What I'm wondering - honest mistake, or is this a tactic to get more views even though they know it's wrong? If it's a tactic, it worked on me.
