This year I moved from Ohio (where I've lived all my life), where my parents and younger brother (1.5 years younger, we are very close when we were small) lived about a half hour from me, but I typically only saw them once a month or so, as my parents and younger brother are very busy and I have four children, which makes going out complicated.

Now I'm living in California, a similar distance from my older brother (10y older) who moved away when I was still in middle school. We now see each other twice a week, and my kids now have a real relationship with their cousins and my brother and his wife.

This article really made me think; I'm not super sure what my point is exactly, but thinking about things this way can be useful.
Two problems here:

1) YouTube videos from major distributors are monetized (Vevo), and user-contributed versions are often taken down. So, they are still making money while also promoting the artist and maintaining control over the product.

2) Songs on iTunes cost ~$1, they aren't free.
I think you've missed the point: you can program in your native tongue. I think the expectation is a Russian company would not care whether you can type their variable names :P
I don't agree with your perspective of Europe's Bologna. Universities don't need an European agreement to create shorter and shallower courses, in fact, Bologna doesn't impose any kind of restrictions on the kind of courses the universities have.

And Bologna helps a lot with your education, by making higher education comparable between EU countries, you can easily apply for student exchange programs and study subjects that aren't approached by your home university.

I studied in one of the best engineering university of Portugal and I studied for one semester in Sweden and although both universities were under the Bologna agreement, I could notice differences in both systems.

The only thing that Bologna imposes in universities is how many hours of effort is 1 course credit (ECTS). Course content, organization and etc, is up to each university.
How is that your parents' problem? How many careers (and pay your dues period) do you expect parents to subvention?

As somebody who never had a career subventionned by anybody, I am shocked by your attitude!
My comments we not meant to defend the parents. I should have been clearer on that matter. And yes there should be conversations about funds for college and any conditions that apply.

>Some might have alternatively chosen to invest the money in their children another way, like using it to start a business or starting a stock/bonds portfolio.

I strongly support this for families where this works out. There is never one model fits all.
I wouldn't even call it dumb, it's just what happens when a big group of people are writing software together. Somebody writes a function, other people see it and start using it in ways the original author didn't intend.

One byte at a time could've been a quick hack that was "good enough" in the original author's use case, because he wasn't reading a lot of data or only calling it once or something. Somebody else saw "readline" and decided it was exactly what he needed and decided to use it everywhere.
> Only if your best relationships are with people you met in high school.

Or, as in this case, with one's parents and siblings. Which seems reasonable to me: as much as I like the folks I went to high school & college with, my parents and brothers are the people I'm closest too. No doubt were I married my wife would be an exception … but at my age I've accepted that will never happen.

It amazes me how self-centered this comment is. It's your kids education you're taking about here.
What if the copy was never listened to by a human? Pretty sure that happens a lot.

What if another copy was listened to by one certain individual a thousand times? Surely the "value" is not the same for both copies.
Edit: I misinterpreted the context here. My bad.
I am reading this sipping dunkin donuts coffee made by gujarati lady.
I'm a Gujarati. My ancestors established businesses in most British colonies at the time, from Ceylon to Hong Kong, from Siam to Réunion, from Australia to the Suez, from Kenya to Rangoon. Our family names are based on places where our dad worked for a living. For instance, my mother's family name is Siamwala (an indicator that my grand dad and his family were involved in international trade based in Thailand).

This article seems more like PR but isn't far from truth. I think, as a community, Jews have probably outdone any one community out there.

In fact, a great many jewish business families in British-India adopted Gujarat, and spoke Gujarati.

Here's another biased take on the topic by a Pakistani journalist:

Are their any small form factor smart card like devices that are immune from side channel attacks like these? It seems like using constant power without much hardware to buffer stuff out is very difficult.
I think it is possible to say we have ongoing relationships with people we never see or talk to...even with the dead. Depends how intensely the person affected us.

Sometimes actually meeting someone again diminishes the quality of my relationship with them.

This would be completely logical if MP3s from Taylor Swift were found organically in nature everywhere we looked. Unfortunately (or fortunately), this isn't the case, so there are no "natural rights" to be asserted here, as is the case with things like food, water, and shelter.
I'm 20, and say I'll live until my 60's..

Ever since I've co founded a startup, I've been meeting ppl I've never thought I would ever meet. My pre-startup era relationships are just regular ppl who have 9-5 jobs. I am def not through 90% of my BEST relationships..hell probably not even at 5%. I've got a lot more to meet.

This article is based on if you were going to live until 90, meaning after 30 ur basically fucked..while it may be more true, I still think it's way too early. Especially if the target demographic is ppl who browse HN
I've lived outside the US for four years. I move about every two years. I have amazing friends from all around the world and I work hard to keep up with then; even meet up with them on other sides of the planet.

Honestly, I think I'm on the better end of the quality vs quantity agreement (plus my sister and I never really got along either).
Well, they are actually trying to extract some meaning from it for optimization purposes, so I wouldn't call it 'ignored'.

'inline' would be a better example of another "ignored" keyword.
I agree. I picked up JavaScript recently (I'm an embedded systems and firmware guy, so gimme a break!), and decided to play around with designing a basic game. Using parts off of the shelf (bootstrap, parse, and google's APIs) I could build a very pretty, responsive thing that worked well on a variety of devices.

While doing this, I was fumbling around from tutorial to tutorial, figuring out what's what (I still mis-type "backbone" and "bootstrap"). Reading through the questions that others are asking on stackoverflow, I saw a recurrent pattern. Someone would ask "How do I X?" Someone would answer "You do this, this, then that," explaining fairly-articulately the correct answer. A reply to that would be "I don't get it. Can you post a fiddle?" Sometimes inside of those, you'd see (what I think) is a mis-use of a framework. It would work, but either dragged an entire framework into the picture, or caused a tremendous amount of work to happen, when there would usually be a much simpler solution (i.e. do I -always- have to use jQuery?).

I feel like the entry level of programmer might need to change into a different title. "Software tradesman?" I'd describe these as people that know how to assemble a list of components into a working whole. They can replicate a pattern, filling in blanks where appropriate, but can't nip / tuck to change it, and certainly can't design and create a whole -new- component.
That's ignoring entirely the possibility of children, grand-children, nephews and nieces etc.

Plenty of opportunity for meaningful relationships with younger generations.
You'll need a better source than a Google marketing page to support claims of "feature parity". An objective comparison also shouldn't start with "Please look into Google cloud".

Hey, I work for SatoshiLabs makers of TREZOR, just a small note.

Jochen did a responsible disclosure and this has been fixed already in the firmware before the article hit. Also he is actively submitting patches to the firmware, which is awesome.

I will also note we have a bug bounty program - see http://satoshilabs.com/security/

Even on desktop...

One of the reasons why I prefer to use "cloud" tools instead of LibreOffice is LibreOffice being slow...

Xcode on the MacMini I use to work is just terrible, it is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

I wish I could code for iPhone with TurboC, the thing just worked, no loading time, if I hit a button, it do what I want instantly.

Games are also getting notoriously bad, I've been seeing 2D games, with no particularly important special effects, get extremely slow on my computer (that can run some very beautiful older 3D games easily), Starbound is a very bad offender at this.

But the one that pissed me off, is Epic Games launcher... Shadow Complex is free in december for PC, to get it you install Epic Games launcher, that then downloads and installs it.

My gaming machine is old, and has some parts of it failing, and playing shadow complex tipped it over some edge and now it is overheating easily... at least I thought it was shadow complex fault, I eventually learned it was the launcher's fault, if I close everything and leave only the Epic Launcher open, it uses 100% of my GPU, and make its temperature shoot from 56C to 92C, it is just absurd... it does not even have any 3D on it, I have no idea why it uses the GPU, and why it needs that much GPU power!
Most people don't carry the necessary cable around with them, though. NFC doesn't require any additional hardware.

I use it for generating 2FA codes, Yubico Authenticator works like Google Authenticator except that it requires touching the YubiKey to the phone before it shows the 2FA codes. The codes are computed on the YubiKey: https://github.com/Yubico/yubioath-android/blob/63387c02a39b...
The fact that the author is 34 and the notion that future relationships with children weren't even mentioned is a fairly telling comment on the evolution of society.
Some of my favorite people I first met by moving far away from those I loved :|

There are also lot of sad things. There was a moment of time someone picked you up and then put you down for the last time.

Many of the things have already ended. I wish the article touched on at least 1 thing that may still have 100% left and some things that have 0% left as well for some contrasting.

In this case the "kids" are at least 26. At that point surely we can expect them to be able to fend for themselves?
Yeah. const_cast (and C-style casts) and mutable existing in the language make const pretty useless to the optimizer. But at least they are trying to get some benefit from it in some cases.
A C++ variant (compiler flag) that would remove const_cast, mutable and the cast-const-away parts of C-style casts from the language and allow the optimizer to put more value into 'const' could be interresting.
Conversely, articles like this remind me I'm just a dust in the wind that exists for a speck of time; a few less friends here or few more books there mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, so don't sweat it. I'm repelled and paralysed by the thought of death as much as the average guy but "fear of missing out" is not among the reasons.
Inside North Korea's Totalitarian Operating System
Nearly every SP has made investments in "synergistic internet businesses." They appear to expect to extract the benefits of vertical integration in those businesses without making Google's investment in access.

Also, Google has announced the intention to bring Google Fiber to several major cities. It's not a demo, or hobby, anymore.
I don't think the above comment is disputing that someone should pay for his education, just suggesting that it should be him rather than his parents.
This article shows zero understanding of the relationships one has with their spouse and children. Those grow and build over time, and are the people you really will spend your time with in your elder years. Thinking of them, someone who is only 30 has possibly not yet even met the people you will spend the rest of your life with. There is far more to come.

I would argue that it's not so much that people ignore or have forgotten the stellar sky.

Instead for most of us we cannot see more than 30 or so stars plus a few planets, due to light-pollution. So trying to do back-yard astronomy or simply star-gaze is futile and therefore we carry on with other pursuits.

Take people out to a dark site and they will always be awe-struck by the real night sky. Once you've persuaded them to go 100 miles into the wilderness... but in daily life the stars, galaxies and nebulae are simply pretty pictures in books.
Thanks for sharing this. I am thinking about creating a smartwatch. A nicely built smartwatch can replace smartphone. Instead of building the parts ourselves would not it be better to import parts?
The more I understand of life and myself the more meaningful my relationships become. So getting older is a blessing in that regard, not a disadvantage.

I find the article too subjective. After 30 I am finally able (financially) to travel around and meet interesting people, travelling increases probability of meeting more people and forming interesting relationships.
Ask HN: Who is behind the Linode DDOS attacks?

Am I the only one who finds this bit of social conditioning (relationships with other people) as hugely overblown in terms of what's important in life?

Only in a culture that's so far fallen into degeneracy could something as tripe as that be considered (near or THE) ultimate purpose of life?

What about technology, scientific progress, our guided evolution as a species and so on?

We're far too obsessed about "relationships" with other walking-dead sacks of meat instead of what really matters, our legacy and the future. Which is why we find ourselves in this sad state of affairs today.

Endlessly bombarded and distracted by cheap entertainment (social networking, sex, porn, consumerism, money) and all too happy to leave the important bits in the hands of who exactly? People who have turned academia into a filthy whore that is constantly being pimped out to the highest bidder.

We have become the plebeians while mega corporations and elite government groups are free to write history and dictate how we will evolve.

I'm not saying we should live life as automatons, but this article is the perfect example of someone who's completely missing the picture. It would be great if we had a stabilizing factor to counteract this sort of bullshit but alas it's pretty much non-existent these days.
Writing an interpreter is much, much harder than implementing a simple, straightforward compiler.

Interpreter is unavoidably convoluted, it is full of very complex things like environment handling, it cannot be split into smaller parts in any sane way.

Compiler, on the other hand, is nothing but a trivial sequence of very simple tranforms (as simple as you like), each is nothing but a couple of term rewriting rules. You do not need a Turing-complete language to implement a compiler.
Is baseball is a thing elsewhere?

Aside from Japan, and now apparently Cuba, I haven't heard of it being played anywhere.

Most of the world plays football (soccer for the US folks here).
An ironic twist to this is, that those 'low-signal' clients that get 'downshifted' are often victims of noise. And much noise is periodic or intermittent (think sparking from a microwave tube or a faulty car ignition). Packets in the air are essentially getting hit by random darts. When the AP 'downshifts' to a lower rate, it makes the packets bigger targets for the darts. So the AP slows down some more. Often in a matter of a second it shifts all the way down to the bottom rate. And now has a harder time getting through.

It would be helpful if APs could distinguish between 'low signal' and 'high error rate', and respond differently. It should actually speed up when the periodic error rate is high, to make the packets smaller targets in the air. Or make them shorter. Or even try to time transmissions to the fit between the occurrences of noise.

Yes, I agree. For static content pages, the content should largely render and its content should be largely digestible whether or not the client's javascript engine is running.

That being said, an easy defense against webscrapers and content re-purposers is to make sure the client is running javascript.

Of course, there are ways around this, but I liken it to this scenario: If there are two similar houses on a block and only one has an alarm system, the cat burgler will choose the one without the alarm.
This is honestly fascinating. You should write an article about this.
While I agree React without JSX is terrible and React with JSX isn't too great anyways ("className" vs "class"? "defaultChecked" vs "checked"? everything has to be wrapped in a parent or it errors??) it really doesn't feel bloated to me. I do almost everything inside of class method functions I define or inside of the render itself - if you're heavily leaning on stuff like shouldComponentUpdate that really feels like an antipattern regardless.
Yeah it was somewhat confusing (why did the Senate not restore order after the last movie? Why are the Senate's own troops called 'the resistance' and not 'the army' or some such?)

Then, after a spectacular job of building character in the first few minutes, they all drop back into one-dimensional fantasy characters so the big special-effects show can start.

Finally, the weight of the fan-service sort of dragged things down. Sure its neat to see the old characters and themes - but the magic of this franchise was its breadth of vision. To recapitulate every significant scene from the original movies was lazy.

Disappointment is the perfect word.
People pay for convenience. AWS is just convenient. Managing your own servers requires more work. It is far far far cheaper in terms of server costs. You do have to:

- Know how to maintain a server by yourself

- Hire someone who can

AWS removes part of that and thus people pay for it. An average (good enough) sys admin costs the same as a programmer.
> Intel is also catering to the market for supercomputers for scientific use. Intel's Knight's Corner ... a small niche market ... RAM speed is now often a serious bottleneck.

Many of the scientific supercomputing applications are migrating to GPU workloads with OpenCL and CUDA. One enormous benefit of making this migration is the extremely fast memory that's available on GPUs.
I agree with much of the article, but I also sort of question the idea you'll automatically make money being a freelancer. Because you see, a lot of small companies and individuals don't really respect freelancers and single developers as much as they do companies, and often see them as a cheap way to get things done. An awful lot of them think you can pay someone a couple of hundred quid for a clone of Facebook or the likes.

Agencies may pay their employees less individually, but they tend to be able to negotiate prices better, since there's a certain perception of 'leigitimacy' that individuals don't have. The same company that pays them ten or so grand for a site might think they can pay the random freelancer a couple of hundred quid with a few extra beers thrown in.

This gets even worse if it's someone you know (like say, a friend of a friend) asking for a site done, since the price usually ends up dropping even further (from a couple of hundred quid to less than a hundred quid or free). Working freelance is an easy way to make people think you'll help them with their 'world changing million app' for nothing.
Don't shoot the messenger.
nothing is immune. Any crypto is breakable by someone who is sufficiently smarter than the person who invented the crypto. This is why crypto security is so hard. There is always someone sufficiently smarter.

In general the strongest security is always physical security (attack dogs, machine guns, etc). The problem with that, of course, is that someone more vicious might come along. Also, physical security is somewhat vulnerable to physical degradation (earthquakes, fires, etc) Also, physical security is pretty awkward to implement and maintain, plus it really complicates access and transfer of secured materials.
You can buy a test spool of 25km of single-mode fiber for $130 on ebay. This is about 125 us of delay, so how can we directly observe this delay? It's easy with electronics, but if you could mount visual indicators on a rotating drum the delay would show up as a physical separation: ~1 mm for a .1 meter diameter drum rotating at 2000 RPM..
Nonsense. If you don't like relationships that's fine, but calling humans "walking dead sacks of meat" is just misanthropic rhetoric. Talk about this being a particularly "degenerate age" is typical of cults. Most people find social life to be a crucial source of meaning and enjoyment, and view technology as a means to that end. If you have another set of preferences again that's alright but why frame it as everyone else being wrong and call a basic facet of human existence "tripe"?
An ultimately futile thing to do until we change our own drug policies which fuel the economic incentives for such cartels to exist. Unless we change out laws and end prohibition new cartels will continue to spring up out of economic necessity.
