>> Does that matter? People live there, the fact that it is disappearing is relevant. "Well, those islands used to be totally submerged 115,000 years ago!" isn't really of use to the islands' inhabitants.

To the people who live there, it doesn't matter. To the people trying to blame it on human activity it should.
Two sides of the same coin: open education and copyright reform
Is Sacha Baron Cohen involved in this?
It sure will. It's a bit easier though as you can just use the ethernet port as that's already configured to use DHCP. So you can skip the step that envolves changing the files on the SD card.
Much closer to CloudFormation, i.e. people already familiar with it can convert more easily. State is not kept locally either - for AWS it's using CloudFormation for that. Also, Terraform does not support all AWS services yet, which is a no-go for people who don't want to start learning Go just to implement their AWS stack.
Excellent tip that we'll definitely implement asap. Nice username.
A renderer for ReactJS using WebWorkers to run expensive VirtualDOM calculations
If memory serves, there's even an O'Reilly Press book on this -- "Getting Started with Dwarf Fortress" or thereabouts. (And it's for two major releases ago!)
I agree in full with everything you have said.

Where I'm a little lost is how you project this into a future where drug prohibition (and other consensual "crime") doesn't exist.

So, sure, you have a few gnarly guys who will perjur themselves for you - but what do you accuse people of? What is the crime that replaces drug possession?

Without victims, you can't really make this work...?
I've recently found this gem: http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/

I haven't laughed this much in a long while. PHP was my first language and indeed I got far away as soon as I knew any better.
>Seriously, who submits feature requests with language like "the design must be changed" and "this is wrong?"

I don't know. Perhaps the awkward phrasing points to non-native speakers. I know a few people who phrase comments this way, and often they're just translating literally from their native language.

>The entitlement from some of the people in that thread is insane.

That is not a display of entitlement at all.

Users complaining about changes in a product that they do not like is a good thing and must be encouraged. If nobody says anything and just "takes it" things will stay the same. How much weight you want to give to those comments can be argued. Certainly much like in the case of restaurant reviews, a vocal minority can be negative, but you can take them with a grain of salt.
Technically it only divulges which IP addresses you're accessing. The URL, including domain name, in the request is encrypted.
Great release! I think the BC breaks are all justified :)

And all the shared hosts around still stuck at 5.3 or so, this is your time to move forward. At least start offering a PHP7 version, if not a straightway upgrade.

Huge thanks to the internals for their hard work.
It is a form of tracking. You're tracking if the user has adblock installed. Many people install adblockers for privacy do because they don't like being a part of data that will never be used in their best interest.
Ask HN: Users should go jogging before trying a new software product
My question is simple: why doesn't anyone, who have released a software product, suggest that a user should take a walk or preferably go jogging before trying to get familiar with it? After jogging mind is more ready to take in even boring information like 2-page introduction documents. It also opens up the possibility that a software product can be more complex as a user is able to comprehend better. Including few short bursts of running would prepare user's mind in a way that he/she is able to reach more of his/her thoughts, because such really wakes up the whole body (1). This also boils down to question "is it ok to say that it will be user's own fault, if he fails to grasp the idea of a product or how it can be utilized?".

(1) I think it is mostly about exercise being aerobically efficient - and what kind of reactions happens in the body because of that.
Umm, but you can always remount the SD card on your computer or even reinstall the image. There is essentially no way to brick your device by doing this.
I had exactly the same reaction.
Once it happens enough to be on the radar, it will be blocked or MiTM'd. Probably the former, possibly with a free symposium on the application of rubber hoses.
Ask HN: Assume the universe is a simulation. Why is c the speed of light?
Is it the processor's clock-speed, always constant?
A combination. HN was a good first boost https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9145007

Then got in contact with a lot of websites. Was lucky to get som really good reviews on LifeHacker and MacUpdate plus other places. And then people started telling their friends about it.

Plus I have an email list now with +10K customers or potential customers.
While there are probably 100 different ways to avoid this and retain secure traffic, I would venture to guess that the average Internet savvy-ness of Kazakhstan is pretty low, so using any of them would single you out for additional government attention (whether you're actually doing anything illegal or not).

That said, there's a remarkable tendency in countries as corrupt as Kazakhstan for a "shadow" telecom network to pop up. Just run in some fiber from a neighboring country on the down-low and distribute locally via microwave dish. Yeah, it's not exactly difficult to locate a powerful dish, but it's also not glaringly obvious so you can usually pay someone to look the other way. After all, the government officials want to look into everyone's communication, but if their own communication was ever intercepted, they would be the target of blackmail! They want to use the information they gather to blackmail citizens like the Stasi, not the other way around.

Of course, the flip side of that are the mobile phone networks operated by the Mexican drug cartels and ISIS. But the only surefire way to avoid government surveillance of this sort is to bypass government regulated telecoms entirely.
Minuteman 2.0 released
You might even want to go a little further back from 0.40.24 to start out. The game has grown and evolved over time, and some of the recent features raise the price of entry. (These days, for example, you need soap production and a hospital up and running before the beginning of your second year...)
That is true. But Mozilla had a deal with Google before, I'd be curious as to the reason Google would not do so again.
If the js asset cant be trusted, what would stop an adversary from mitm-ing the application level implementation?
Maybe manager says "So it's not just me thinking that", or "I've noticed guys can be pretty hard on you at times. Since you haven't brought it up, I thought you're ok with it"...

I can think of million other things that might or might not happen.

And I know only one way to really find out - try and see. Are there other ways?

Gravity is not the same around the Globe, there is something called the Geoid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoid.

Also, sea level is determined by a number of factors including astronomical and predictable, like moon, sun and other planets gravity influence, or random meteorological events like winds, low or high pressure systems and land mass configuration. All these contribute to the tide cycle and the sea level anywhere in the globle.

For example, there are places in the world with huge tide amplitudes like 12 m or so and other with no tides at all (excluding meteorological events).

The problem is the "mean sea level rise". The "mean sea level" is usually determined by and average of at least 19 years of measurements of the sea level, which is approximately the time it takes to complete a full moon cycle.
Perhaps we could conclude that cosmic rays cause increased rate of aging. Actually, it seems pretty obvious really, that a body healing itself from radiation damage would "age" more quickly. Doesn't every cell division increase the cost of further cell divisions through mutations? And isn't there actually a mechanism to ultimately shut down cell division i.e. Telomere breakdown?
Show HN: Torch – AI to Help Run Your Business
Really need feedback on the site, the software and just about anything. Appreciate the help.
I actually expect it will be something like that (eventually). Only with the resources mostly going to other in-space activities. Like the Disney Deathstar/StarWars theme park.
Why not have the obvious API call for making a query only accept constant strings? You can still have an escape hatch for the rare cases where an expert needs to do something fancy, but hide it well and make it scary and you shouldn't have many problems.
> Laravel ... solved lots of existing annoyances regarding PHP coding for me.

Can you name a few such annoyances and how Laravel addressed them?

And do you mean to say that Laravel addresses them, while other frameworks don't?
It's only virtual money anyway, I've been multi-millionaire in monopoly startup money a few times myself! I bet that if you have stayed an had been worth anything, they'd have made life impossible for you to try to grab that 3% back over your dead body (if possible).

I was explaining a little while back to a Junior that the only way to leave a project is when you think your integrity is intact. Don't leave earlier, or later. If you do that, in 10 years when you think about it, you won't have any regrets because it'll still be the Right Thing to do.
How would this affect access to bitcoin/blockchains in Kazakhstan?
I'll just take your word for it then.
Pretty sure that Netflix loads a Flash client (or some other trusted code module) to prevent this. But you're right; the browser isn't secure enough to enable client-side encryption over HTTP as it would be trivial to MITM and sideload JS code to defeat it.
>> "When modern science swept away this dualistic symbolic schema, Europeans came to see themselves as inhabitants of a Euclidean void: we lived on a planet that orbited an insignificant star in potentially infinite space."

Such a gross misunderstanding of late antiquity/medieval cosmology.

"As an admirer of co-ordinate geometry, I like Tononi’s concept; at the same time, I don’t accept information theory as a bridge to subjectivity."

In my master thesis on consciousness, I dealt with Tononi's thesis and, in spite of the publicity he gets, I too find his theory to be bogus. It's like saying Maxwell's equations are light. Or, put differently, it's like saying a computer is information because it processes/produces information.
Mostly differences in the geoid [1]. The planet isn't perfectly round, and gravity varies quite a lot [2].

There are other factors, such as the cold/warm water cycle creating very slow currents that push water towards certain landmasses.

But as I understand it, gravity is the main cause.

Hackers selling lifetime subs to Netflix, Spotify and HBO for less than $1
So how about hacking and leaking their certificate and then making all Kazak government traffic vulnerable to public posting all over the internet?
That's interesting work. Hardin is the name that was on the other ones. No surprise they dragged LLVM intermediate form into ACL2 to leverage their prior work. Good that it's fast but I'm more interested in what analysis they can do and how easily. Wish it had more of that.

Still added it to my collection as it might come in handy for future ACL2 work. :)
Depends on the client implementation. You should expect applications like Twitter for iOS to become inaccessible as it pins the certificate (correctly), i.e. adding the world of (rogue) CA's still wouldn't make the certificate valid. Apart from replacing the (hardcoded properties of the) certificate
Justin Bieber – NO SENSE – Choreography by Hamilton Evans
Professor: What do you mean when you say "I"?
Which is fair enough. It does make me wonder though if you tried representing the duration in base 4 of pi, or something like that, whether you couldn't create something that sounded quite nice. Probably not, but I admit that if it was something I could whip up easily, I would do the experiment :)
You would be shocked if you would look into the log files of a webserver.
Paris Review Author Interviews from the 1950s to Present
I'd love for someone to buy me a Lamborghini but it's gonna feel much better when I've earned enough and can afford to buy it myself.

If you've ever bought a house without someone else's help - it'll be a similar feeling accomplishment / self respect. No one "given" anything truly respects it or appreciates the path it took to get there.

But - anything is worth a try.
Ketosis and IF – How Many Kcals to Consume [Situational]
Which modern frameworks never do. The parsed data is usually cached in a php file. Then the (compiled to bytecode) files are cached in opcache. The interpreter doesn't even hit the filesystem on every request.
just noticed this comment, but that's what the scheduler is for. same amount however many times you set it to.
It's true enough that postmodernism is dead in the water, though. One of the mysteries of the contemporary world is that all of its ideas are stagnant -- and yet no one has any idea what's going to replace them.
This article provides a great context for why Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is typically sighted as the first Science Fiction novel. There are other SF-style stories that can be cited prior to Frankenstein, but I am not sure any of them truly qualify has Hard Science Fiction.

(While I do love Hard SF, I don't hold it above other forms of the genre. I do think that Hard SF is the easiest to define and to separate from other forms of story telling.)
= What I've read is that many units stopped using tracers altogether on pure fighters because their different ballistics at long range meant that they were not useful. =

You mean stopped using tracers against fighter aircraft, or stopped carrying them on fighters? The parent seems to be talking about ground AA gun crews using tracers -- presumably a lot of these would be firing at bombers?
Slightly OT - if the bad guy can't fiddle with the trust store of your computer, whats his another methods of analysing a users traffic? Is https breakable by other means?
In addition to this -- I'm not sure I understand why the primary discourse around this text is whether or not it conforms to a particular literary movement/genre's specifications. Those are all constructs that help us historically situate texts within a broader context; what is the goal of this exercise/conversation?
Wouldn't an acid on your skin feel like it's hot as well? (I never had such an experience, so I don't know). I recall reading that "temperature sensors" in the skin can be triggered by many things, not just temperature.
Henry Spencer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Spencer
If I remember that scene correctly, the gun stations on the Millennium Falcon seem more like the B-29 sighting stations than directly operated "local control" guns (but located directly behind the remote controlled gun rather than next to it). The biggest problem that I see is that this causes the MF's sighting station's FOV to be smaller than the one pictured in the B29.

But yeah, that scene is mostly artistic license.
I sometimes wonder why nobody ever attaches real world success data for different styles of resumes. Like most(?) people, my resume has also undergone an evolution in style and layout. I would gladly trade whatever I find aesthetically pleasing about mine, if that meant a greater success rate in having my resume read/chosen.
Right, well, "constant strings" don't really exist in scripting languages, and before you mention objects that encapsulate them, what's to stop developers from building them elsewhere before passing the string to an object that encapsulates them?

Chicken and egg.

Education is the security strategy that pays forward the most.
Some nice thoughts.

> All you need is a sewing kit and a set of repair instructions.

Or, more practically for most of us, you pay some guy to repair your stuff.

Look around. There are little shops all over offering services like zipper replacement. They often don't charge much. Make use of them. And when buying a product, consider how repairable it is.
Suppose the manager has those reactions. What then? They'll sit down with the team and have the "don't be mean" talk? I'm just not sure I see that working well. That seems more likely to breed resentment even if it resolves the superficial "combative" behavior.

I'd probably try talking to the individual team members 1:1. As uncomfortable as that would be, I think it is a better bet than having it come from the manager.
Stark is just as based upon older tech moguls like Larry Ellison, Richard Branson, or even Steve Jobs. Interest in archery jumped after the Hunger Games comes out. SV culture is significant, yes, but is it disproportionately so compared to other things?
I still remember the day we drove by our house - saw the sold sign on the front lawn and the wife and I jumped out of the car to go take a selfie with it.
I guess you feel it less only because the support (pressure) is distributed more evenly along your skin. Inside your body, almost everything is fluid, so there it does not matter much, I'd say.
Well, random signals can sound nice... I do enjoy the white noise of wind blowing through trees. :)

But it's still a random signal, regardless of its apparent aesthetic qualities. Any hint of structure is just the human brain doing what it does so well: pattern matching.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a grilled cheese sandwich I need to pray to... ;)
Then they think I am from London, my IP is 188.29.165.147. But no, I am 200 miles away.

'Crackpot' is a several thousand word article on how climate change is submerging the Marshall Islands when all the hard data shows that sea level has done fuck all except bounce around for 23 years.

But sure, yeah, I'm a crackpot.
I've never had to produce soap even during extended sieges. The only instance it would have helped in was with a FB that had poisonous blood (and killed half my fortress). I always felt that the medical aspects were a bit too easy.
Maybe it's attributed to the rigorousness of the selection process but I have noticed the longevity of so many astronauts.

John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Edgar Mitchell all lived beyond the average life expectancy of American males born when they were born.

Our bodies have incredibly complex feedback loops and we evolved here, with a constant 1G of gravity.

It's not surprising to me that exposure to Zero-G can have long lasting and unexpected consequences.
I mean actually crashing.
"Well", it's not a complaint about direction, it's more that the ability to create interesting stories hasn't expanded a lot in a long time. Early on in my time with DF, I really enjoyed the exploration, mastering the subsystems involved and developing cool stories out of both my successes and mistakes--but then the mistakes stopped happening because the game ended and it became a time sink rather than a growing and evolving challenge. I have built most of the stupid dwarf tricks (I have an embarrassingly large attempt at a CPU lying around somewhere) because of the lack of breadth to the stories that can be told, but eventually, I very much hit the end of the interesting and challenging things and reached the point of "this would take a dozen hours to do and wouldn't be fun." It's not much fun if you can't fail, and the mastery ceiling of DF is much lower than most people think it is; the self-imposed challenges are artificial ones, and while mechanically they can be interesting, I do not find them fulfilling when I know how it's all supposed to work.

(Minecraft would have this problem if not for the tremendous mod support, Forge, etc. that enables you to make what you want of it. Crash Landing is still one of my favorite things in games--not because of the use of HQM, but rather just the profoundly different environment and options for exploring the same rules in a very different milieu.)
Microkernel and RTOS work shows anything it needs can be about as tiny as itself. Tinier, actually, if it's a networked service with a single app running. It already has networking, needs a driver, a few special-purpose components... not much left to add.
I used to play around with Inform 6 when I was starting to program. It was an interesting step up from QBasic, and they had a really great tutorial that stepped you through writing a William Tell based story.

I never could get the hang of Inform 7, the syntax is just too free-form, and I couldn't work out how to get things right.
Can either of them be truly considered "startups" anymore? And Facebook wasn't even invented in SV.
Yup, it's just scoring the revisions. Currently there is no straightforward way to feedback to the tool for learning false positives yet.
