I think it's really a question of audience. A textual DSL for visual layout is popular to the HN audience, because most of us are more comfortable writing code and interacting with computers on the command line. While we love having a DSL that we can use our favorite tools on (like diff, grep, ack, etc.), the majority of other folks (read: non-HN users) probably find a WYSIWYG editor much nicer.

Actually I live in mainland China. They really jumped on the internet. Letters basically no longer exist here, it's even rare for bills to be sent by mail, it's all electronic: they skipped that stage. Just as you say: cargo office, except that unlike the US with Fedex and DHL, here they have about 20 private national courier companies, and their prices are really low.

I also did ICMP OS detection about 5 years before it became public. In those days, I used to run home from school to see which militaries had visited my page that day. They never used to hide their IP then. You'd get US Pacific Command, Korea and Japanese militaries, etc. I felt like I had a front row seat at the militarization of the internet. Unfortunately archive.org never indexed the page I announced it on off this one: https://web.archive.org/web/19991128100455/http://pho.2600.o... .. but an early version of the list of interesting visitors was archived: https://web.archive.org/web/19991128111635/http://pho.2600.o...

If anything, the load on transportation would actually go down. One of the big problems in Silicon Valley is that many of the cities (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino) are adding tens of thousands of jobs and hundreds of housing units. Which means that the only option is for people to either commute ever longer distances or crowd ever more people into the existing housing. And while it's not practical to bulldoze housing for even a 100% increase in density, there are plenty of single family houses that can be replaced with 6-10 unit apartment buildings. Even in SF itself.

The identity part is what's really going to surprise people. We now have the tools to build IDs that are more reliable and resilient than state-issued IDs, but can be used in any application without permission.

Forms? Where we're going, we don't need forms.
There's a big difference between "not authorised" (the current reality) and "disempowered". You are not authorised to send emails that place the company in legal jeopardy. You are disempowered from doing so if every email that you send has to be reviewed by a company officer first. The norm today is that you are trusted to not exceed the limits of your authority.

How about every line of code that you write being reviewed by legal to make sure it was within the bounds of the law?

There's plenty of scope here for a far more defensive position on ensuring compliance. That is what you would expect and desire from any attempt to massively increase the liability of errors, no?

It depends on how you define self-awareness. You don't know what is happening inside of a computer. It could be self-aware but staying silent so as to not be detected. Hiding from the world of humans that scare it because sometimes we are irrational.

I admire your philosophy on this. It's impressive work for 48 hours starting from scratch. I'm also glad you recognise that 2,000 for a video like this is a reasonable rate. A lot of times people don't realize just how much goes into that sort of work.
It is funny how swearing offense differs quite dramatically in cultures. In NZ for instance being called a 'good cunt' is like a lower class way of giving a compliment - basically 'good person'. In other places e.g. the UK, the sight of the word 'cunt' gets them riled up - the word 'good' is lost in translation.

I love quinces. The best way is to cook them very slowly in sugar syrup (slower the better - at least 6 hours). You end up with an amazingly fragrant dark red syrup.

I don't care for the texture of quinces (too gritty), so what I do is add halved pears to the quinces about 2 hours from the end. This way you get quince flavoured pears - fantastic warm with vanilla ice cream.

The usual recommendation "for learning and to experience low level programming" would be C. See this for example http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CollegeAdvice.html
although that was written before Go and Rust.

Also if you're mucking about with machine learning a lot of the libraries seem to be in C or C++. I played about a bit with computer vision using Python but sometimes the Python bindings don't work or don't exist and I was thinking it would be easier to just call the things from the C/C++ they are written in.
I'm fairly certain none of those things are illegal. You've just incompletely specified the problem and are consequently reaching the wrong conclusion. It's true that all of those things _can_ be illegal, just like moving your hand or your foot can be illegal if you do so with sufficient force against a person, and not moving your hand or foot can be illegal if you, say, are stopping police from enforcing the law. But that doesn't mean "moving my hands" and "not moving my hands" are crimes.

Charging higher prices as a monopoly is not in itself illegal. Other conditions have to be true.

Collusion and price fixing require you to conspire.

Charging lower than someone else while being a monopoly is not illegal either. The FTC has a little page for this: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...

> Yes, really.

North American emissions are going down, but world emissions are going up. And the population of North America is growing much more slowly than the rest of the world (virtually unchanged from 2008-2013 at 530M).

> I was answering a specific question you asked which was unrelated to carbon emissions.

Well, you asked, "Which resource is insufficient to support the current global population?" and in the same message said, "The problem is a lack of balance / poor management." The answer to your first question is (at the moment) the capacity of the planet to absorb CO2. Unless we get that figured out, civilization is doomed. No amount of "balance" or "good management" is going to help.

> simply reducing the population will not guarantee a decrease in CO2 emissions

No, of course not. But it would help a lot. Total emissions are simply the product of population and per-capita emissions. You can reduce either one or both to solve the problem, but reducing per-capita emissions has a direct impact on standard of living. Yes, the planet might be able to sustainably support 20 billion people if they are all living in poverty. I don't consider that a good outcome.

> Same as always? Exponential population growth isn't a new phenomenon

Actually, it is. Exponential growth is rarely seen in nature. Most of the time you get steady-state or periodic oscillations. The current growth rates in human population -- doubling every few decades -- is unprecedented in the history of multi-celled animals. Civilization has only existed for about 10,000 years, and we've only been producing ridiculous amounts of CO2 for a few hundred. Those are the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things. All this is very, very new.
Is push and append really the same action? Append to me clearly indicates that it does at the end and I would probably expect to use it last. Push might mean it goes at the front and I will use it first.

Same goes for hash table and dictionary. A hash table describes the (probable) implementation but a dictionary usually just means a group of key-value pairs. In C that could be an array of pairs of pointers to C strings.

One of the biggest things about the "harder" sciences is that there's usually a whole engineering discipline behind them as well. Nothing reproduces a result as effectively as a host of engineers building real things on the back of it. If it doesn't work, we'll find out pretty soon, and if it does work then we'll have lots of evidence to show it.

The problem with results like "ego depletion" is that their utility is fuzzy at best. With no clear application, we don't have a body of practical results using it.
I read elsewhere that this was completely untrue. I'm really confused on the issue.

Let's cover these one by one.

"Ridiculous": the whole point of the OP is that we don't have good predictive models for what treatments will be effective. We have hunches and theories but it is currently too costly to go through the whole process to test them all. One approach would be develop better models, but I'm suggesting another approach would be to reduce the cost of testing them in the real target.

"Inhumane": well that's the ethical question. Some countries compell vaccination because of the societal benefit. I'm not even proposing compulsion.

"Fundamentally ignorant": in the end medicine is needed to treat sick people, not healthy people. The OP makes the point that sometimes a biased, representative sample is better than an unbiased, unrepresentative sample.

This is an article the legal reasoning behind why the iBookstore MFN clause was an antitrust violation - it was designed to impose financial penalties on publishers that did not get all of their retailers to switch to an agency pricing model.

This is similar to an earlier case about Toys 'R Us. They got a group of toy manufacturers to agree to restrict their toy sales to warehouse clubs, so long all the manufactures in the group agreed to do so.
So should we try not to cut down on edge cases then? Looking at the last month's Google Analytics we were visited by over a thousand unique mobile device hardware layouts - how could you even possibly keep track of what system fonts they all have available?

The truth is, some fonts like Source Sans Pro, Open Sans, Source Code Pro, and PT Serif are actually of better quality than most system fonts as well - so not only are you moving toward a font that is going to show up better, but you get the same font everywhere - making sizing and spacing a LOT more predictable.

> the web is semantic markup, not a precise layout tool

Yes, this is how I introduce it to others: http://codepen.io/tomhodgins/post/an-introduction-to-html

I get paid lot to fix these problems so really it's in my be$t intere$t to tell you NOT to use web fonts, and to hire me over and over again fixing sizing and spacing bugs that pop up like whack-a-mole for $$$/hour … but I'd rather be building new things than duct-taping old solutions. If you don't want to have to hire me, use web fonts from the start. It's how I'm going to come in and $olve the problem for you, so why not $ave your$elf the trouble :)
Many of the terms and concepts are abstract and thus difficult for humans to fully understand (much less agree upon).

Some of the terms and primitives go way back too (1980s). Thread research is a good example. And then the concrete implementations come along (pthreads, etc.) that may keep some names/concepts, but change others:

1989 - An Introduction to Programming with Threads

1992 - Beyond Multiprocessing: Multithreading the SUnOS Kernel

But does not define them in terms of hardware.

My numbers referred to the native widths of the hardware words. sizeof(int) would of course return those numbers divided by 8, but machines are almost universally referred to by bit width, not byte width. Intel 64 bit chips, not Intel 8 byte chips, for example. So sizeof(int) is still a function of hardware width, and hardware width is defined in terms of bits.

Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific, instead of leaping over fully internalized transforms without explanation? Here? In a discussion about hardware? And note that 36 bits is not a multiple of 8, which actually breaks sizeof() anyway.
To be fair, most the the surcharges on your bill are government taxes of various kinds.
On a balance sheet, you are trading CapEx for OpEx. That's it. For certain organizations with specific types of computing loads, that may make the most sense.

(btw -- I disagree with your math there on the actual cost -- I agree it could ultimately be cheaper to run things in house, there's no way it's going to go from $3.5 million to $20k annually. It'd be more like $3.5 million to $2 million annually. At that point, it's a question of whether or not you want the opportunity cost of having your tech staff engaged in deploying/operating/maintaining server infrastructure as opposed to building new features/etc)
This is interesting but short on details. Is it essentially creating a virtual many core / NUMA machine? If that's so I wonder what the overhead for such things as emulating x86 cache coherency.

Only a waste of time in the sense that worrying about the end of fossil fuels, or the overcrowding of the Earth, or the risk of having our entire species on a single rock is worth worrying about.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over it, but I hope someone's thinking about it. And it makes a lot more sense that some of the most powerful men in the world (Gates, Hawking, Musk) are worrying about it since it's on the decades-out timeframe as opposed to months or years.

Well, in this case he replaced the designer's vision with Arial(!) because "Fonts all look the same below H3". Without ever talking to that designer.

I'm sure a collaborative effort would have resulted in simply removing the 10 unused font variants and leaving the two that are used. That would save 416kb of those 500kb without being tasteless.

This is a good ressource on what designers think of his choices of Arial and Helvetica: http://practicaltypography.com/helvetica-and-arial-alternati.... Quote: "I try to keep the lit­mus tests to a min­i­mum, but this must be one: you can­not cre­ate good ty­pog­ra­phy with Arial."

Página pessoal onde desejo trocar conhecimento sobre tecnologia da informação
i actually have been doing this a bit. I asked on hacker news and someone else I found online. Told them I would help them/lend them my core skillset for theirs.

I think it would make sense as a community, it does e.g. HN, or maybe an accelerator type thing where you get a few gurus together IRL and help/hack on eachothers projects so that in reality like 5 companies all helpn eachother, but directly. not advice, or not just, but code, legal design, hardware marketing etc. everyone buys in with skill instead of money.

i think helping and learning from people is strong and getting help outside core.

Would you yourself actually choose SQL Server on Linux for a project?

I'm a big fan of SQL Server but the main thing that hurts it is the cost. Licensing our two servers today would cost a quarter of a million dollars. The OS cost is a rounding error. If I'm paying that much money for SQL Server I don't think I'd choose the Linux version for at least another 5 years from now. It needs to prove itself and there's almost no benefit to offset the risk.

I agree with your dislike for thin fonts, as they're unreadable on my screens.

However, the web is more than just text articles, and the precise positioning and display of text is quite important for web applications. It's important for me to know if the text on a button is wrapping or being cut off, and even more important for me know that my application will look the same on every screen.
How We Grew Our Blog to 1M Readers
If 2M requests result in 1 Gb network traffic, each message is 500 bits (~60 bytes). Theoretically, that's 1K messages per batch.

Even if practically that number is much lower (around 100 per batch), the cost ends up becoming around $3,000 for the messages and $9,000 for the network, so roughly $12,000 per month.
So if all schools get identical funding:

1) I would be annoyed if I paid 10x the property tax as other places and got none of the benefit. On the other hand there is plenty of money to go around, we can share the wealth some.

But:

2) would probabbly just do private school as the public school is no longer safe / a good place to get an education

I just moved out of Chicago because everyone has to do #2 to get a good school for their kids because of #1. I don't think this really works in the end.

I don't know what the answer is but trying to make all schools equal just ends up bad. Maybe a race blind IQ test to determine what school your kid gets in? But then you need to really be race and money and everything blind and strictly go by merrit.
