Frequently, but it's a bit harder than that. Days on different planets don't have 24 hour durations. Try and adapt that to every date library ever.

I work on display libraries for multiple projects including MSL, and the standard solution is to use "slow seconds" and force Mars days to be 24 hours.

I did ask moment.js how they might support Mars time and didn't get far.

I believe the majority of Hacker News readers could run OpenBTS on an Ettus as a weekend project, provided they had a little systems programming experience. I think the greater problem is expense: an Ettus USRP is into the 4 figures, although you could probably make something similar with the HackRF. [1]

It's high, but DDoSs over 500 Gbps have been observed in the past 2 years. So relatively speaking, it's not that extraordinary.
And I would add, many of the best founders (tech startup or otherwise) are those willing to ask for help and listen to advice. Those founders who fear revealing their flaws and so avoid talking to mentors and colleagues are always woefully underprepared to go to market (where, you know, you not only reveal your flaws but do it in the context of asking for currency).
France is a massive homogenous market with high penetration of their target platform, and large comfortable middle class. It's probably easier to pilot in France than it is in most other markets. And launching globally has non-trivial implications for cashflow & risk.

I think cravings are mostly an expression of a finely tuned feedback mechanism of the body to tell you what kinds of nutrients and minerals are currently lacking the most. The better you train this system by eating very varied, trying out all kinds of non processed foods, the better it works.
Search for 'magnesium deficiency and cravings' for a start. There should be other papers on the topic but i can't find anything right now.

But i'm not saying that there is no such thing as the microbiome directly influencing your brain, bacteria produce a wide array of by-products. In which way these by-products affect our bodies is exactly the question.
I just want to point out that there are types of dysbioses that can reduce the ability to absord certain nutrients and by that could exacerbate the problem of cravings.

I understand what you're saying, but my argument is that the 5K in credits are actually of fairly low value to the startups getting office hours, because they don't have real profits/revenue at that stage, at least not enough where 5K makes a difference to the long term survival of a startup.

If I'm a very early stage startup, I'm worried about being alive next year. Yes, 5K may help, but that 5K will likely not make a significant difference in my company's prospects. 20 minutes with an advisor at YC could completely change my company's trajectory.

I'd imagine there are very few companies that apply, and then get selected for office hours, that will walk away from the meeting saying "I'm so glad I did that because I got 5K in Amazon credits." That said, it is still a great perk.
I have never used stack: I went from cabal-install hell straight to NixOS.

My current approach is: write the usual .cabal file, run

cabal2nix --shell . > default.nix

then build and install the package (with `nix-build` or `nix-env -if.`) or open a nix-shell (just `nix-shell` in the project root) where I can run cabal-install to do things like uploading to hackage, building haddock docs, using cabal repl.

The nix expression is deterministically generated by the .cabal so unless you update the nix channel it won't change and you can safely delete it and regenerate it at anytime. While stack.yaml is not, or not entirely generate, if I understand correctly.

Are there other advantages over cabal2nix beside parallelization and incremental recompilation? I hardly handle 2 package at once so it's not really an issue for me.
really nice work.

If Squid can't proxy sites with bad certs in a reasonable way, that's Squid's problem, not a problem with HTTPS.

The fact that some open-source software can't do what you want it to do doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with other people trying to be secure. The most obvious solution would be to fix Squid, pay someone to fix it if you can't, or at the very least write a bug report to let other people know that you need it fixed.
"In preparation to join US wars, Japan dismantles freedom of the press". What US wars? Populist hogswaddle. Such assertions should be backed up if you're going to make them. As for the supposed rise of "nationalism", to the average liberal, ANY movement in the direction of national security, or any display of pride in one's country, is not just nationalism but fascism, racism, and worse.
Split any "download dependency" steps from the rest of the code copy.

I've got an example with benchmarks here: https://github.com/aspnet/aspnet-docker/issues/123

old-speed
Start: 06:03:13.313
Finish: 06:06:40.640

new-speed
Start: 06:00:36:036
Finish: 06:00:45:045

So essentially you copy the package.json or project.json, run dnu restore/ NPM install then copy the rest of the project.

COPY ./project.json /app/project.json
WORKDIR /app
RUN ["dnu", "restore"]
COPY . /app

EXPOSE 5000/tcp
ENTRYPOINT ["dnx", "-p", "project.json", "web"]

What this means is that if dependencies don't change the step where you downloaded them will be a cached binary.

It makes iteration a LOT faster.

True, though Volvo != Volkswagen.

We're left with three options, each of which is unappealing to some group.

1) Leave affected VWs as-is. Fine VW as necessary. Cars will continue to pollute above the permitted amount.

2) Neuter affected VWs. Fine VW as necessary. Owners will suffer performance loss.

3) Neuter/recall affected VWs. Require VW to compensate owners the price of a replacement. Not sure how VW would fare with such a steep fine.

I wish this post gave a better treatment to the discussion. By presenting such a stark claim on a blog, with little justification it leads to polarization that may make some who are open-minded to the issue actually take such concerns less seriously.

I don't have any answers myself, I'm learning a lot but here's what I glean:

- Reporters without borders (RWB) is a neutral cause dedicated to investigating freedom of the press in various countries, they explain their methodology on their website.

- RWB has moved Japan down to 61 on the list of nations with the most free press. However, the US is at 49 for comparison, so saying Japan has "Dismantled freedom of the press" because they are 61 seems to be an overstatement

- The piece presents a theory that America is trying to use Japan's military. Time will tell.

- The style comes across as vaguely rambly

If anybody who's not too emotionally involved in the topic has some recommended reading I'd love to hear more.

I have a really standard Win10 machine, nearly new, nothing fancy, and Skype just updated itself to whatever the newest version is. About a minute after the update the machine BSODed (or whatever the BSOD is now on win10) and rebooted, saying it had a problem with an app had had to restart. Kind of worried to start Skype again now. Those adverts drive me absolutely mad though. How much could they possibly make off those ads that they're even worth running in Skype?

What? Why doesn't it work like this:

Cell phones have SIM cards with an ID and a secret key. Cell service providers have a database of these SIM associations. Cell phones encrypt IP packets in their entirety with the symmetric key and send it as the payload of some cell protocol packet that might expose my ID, if anything. Assuming the cell provider is secure and not on the dark side, this is the safest part of my my packet's trip.

I don't understand how a cell-site simulator could see what websites I visit, much less the messages I send, without knowing my key. And it's not like one could trick my phone into thinking it's the actual cell site, because it won't be able to respond to my transmission with a message that my key can decrypt.

What the heck am I missing?

In Atlassian's case the salaries of founders probably add up to around $3m, which is insignificant next to the $4+b value of their shares.

Also, high salaries for founders is an issue only when the founders did not fund their own business.

You're right, in a startup, funded by VC, that pays the founders significantly more salary than their employees, is a lot less equitable compared to a bootstrapped startup funded by the founders' credit cards, or a VC funded startup that pays its founders little. In the latter cases, the founders take a lot more risk, and so their reward, should their startup succeed, would be a lot more "deserved".

> Bullying may not be violent to the degree that it physically hits people over the head, but it is far more violent than anything feminism complains about.

Anything? Like rape, beatings, and murder? You have some listening to do, friend. In fact, your comment is a perfect illustration of the fact that misogynistic men are bitter because of their experience of being shunned or ignored by women -- essentially the non-act of not getting loved -- while women are afraid of getting abused, raped or murdered by men; acts that happen in communities all over the world.

Not all men; but the minority that do are poisoning the well. If a woman didn't risk slander, abuse and rape she would be free to be flirtatious and gay, but if she's experienced that, she will put up her guard, and rightly so. Responding to that with more bitterness and slander, well that's just rushing down the spiral.

People want to have fun with each other. But if one has interactions with 100 others every week, and even one of them threatens you, then you will be threatened every week. Racism and sexism exist and is carried out by a minority, but that doesn't mean that you won't meet it constantly throughout your life. If you don't have that experience, then you are privileged. But since you haven't seen the other side of the coin, you will think that those who do are hysterical and exaggerating.

Err not really. The typical vegan diet contains large amounts of potato, heavily refined carbohydrates, and processed foods. It also lacks an emphasis on probiotic and prebiotic foods such as sauerkraut. The article also didn't say the diets were massively different, but rather that they had a different emphasis. You can eat a vegan diet and avoid all of the prebiotic and probiotic foods.

This is just unspeakably wrong about the importance of HTTPS. You're basically equating HTTPS to criminal activity.
There are two reasons for me. First tech-related, second political. (main reasons anyway, there are more)

1. If you allow any website which has a login/payment/refer link to download over HTTP, you potentially lost the security game. It doesn't matter that the payment site is secure if the site that directed you to the shop was on plain HTTP and changed in flight. Making things secure by default is not solving everything, but definitely helps.

2. For keeping privacy, imagine you're doing 99% of your browsing via the default HTTP. Only connections to 1-2 servers ever go over HTTPS. Which are the connections you're trying to keep private? Now compare that to browsing 99% of the time via the default HTTPS. Which are the connections you're trying to keep private?
