That facility sort of exists for sandboxed Mac apps, since all incidental files related to the app are under a single container that iirc is deleted if the corresponding app is removed.
All rules are arbitrary, though, and if you want to participate in a community you have to abide by the rules. If the rules are stupid enough, anybody can splinter off and say they're starting their own community, especially on the internet!

I mean, look at HN here. I'm on my third account: the first, I have no idea why I got hellbanned; the second, I know exactly why; the third, I don't really care about. But it's interesting to read the stories and ideas I fundamentally disagree with, and occasionally I post something detrimental to my fully participating in this community. Those are the rules.
Even if the fear of bringing down a plane and killing everyone on board is overblown, what about doing thousands of dollars worth of damage and delaying a whole bunch of people in their travel plans?

Interesting, same here but my parents are likely your generation. Grew up in 70s-80s communist Eastern Europe, lots of food shortages from government obsession with self-sufficiency. Stories of waiting in line for 3 hours for a maybe loaf of bread.

No sort of unusual relationship with food, especially compared to mine—I grew up with all the food I wanted and I stuff my face with pointless garbage every 30 seconds.
Ask HN: Jobs with non conventional schedules
Unfortunately, at 31, I've realized that the work I do isn't too valuable, though thankfully there are people willing to pay a decent salary.

As a product manager for large enterprise applications, I am neither someone with a ton of business domain knowledge, nor am I an engineer capable of building and shipping. Sadly, I also don't have the skills to contribute to a large start up, as I don't work on consumer products and very rarely do early stage start ups need someone with my types of expertise.

Slowly, I've realized that my dream of starting an internet company just aren't going to pan out. As stated above, the skills I've acquired over the past few years just don't translate to that type of work.

But I hold out hope I can take on other ventures outside of the IT/Software world. To do this, I need to have some time during the day and during working hours as these types of ventures aren't typically something you can do on Sunday afternoons.

My girlfriend is a nurse and works 3 12-hour shifts per week. This schedule is awesome, especially when she works Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and still has plenty of weekdays and a saturday to do stuff.

Are there any jobs in this field with some sort of flex schedule like this? I know there are some IT jobs where admins/techs are on call at odd hours, but this isn't really in my wheelhouse.

As far as I know, these jobs don't exist, but I thought I'd ask here to see if someone had any ideas.

Here's a thought: this pattern probably applies to other natural human needs as well. That is, developmental scarcity leading to brain re-wiring that compels overcompensation.

It almost sounds Freudian (probably is), but people who lacked love early in life probably tend to try and get more of it later on, and have a harder time being on their own, often feeling more lonely.
It's really easy to paginate data with SQL - just use LIMIT and OFFSET.

limit = page_size
offset = (current_page - 1) * limit

For example, let's say you have a table with 1000 products in it, and you want to display page 3 with a page size of 50. Here's how you would write it:

SELECT *
FROM products
LIMIT 50
OFFSET 100

I love these linguistic studies beyond all reason but also take them with a grain of salt; Julian Jaynes (origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind) based his whole argument on homer's greek. So did the Singer of Tales; neither of these are what you'd call prime scholarship.

Laravel Spark: Forget the boilerplate and focus on what matters: your application
Theres an IEEE paper by H. Zhang from 2008 where the author was surprised random open source java source code followed zipf law.

It would be interesting to combine that paper's idea of analyzing source code with your idea of peculiar modes of thought and see if zipf still holds under those peculiar mental models for large enough code samples. For example does intermediate OCR API code follow zipf the same way as numerical analysis code, or some weird string theory code?

Going into the hard sci fi (or weird fantasy) arena of fictional writing, I think an elaborate yarn along the lines of ye olde fortune teller or program correctness prover or traveling salesman router, based on zipf and compression algos would make an entertaining story... "So back in the 22nd century when they proved 11 dimensional string theory was true because it was the only geometry where the DSL describing it followed zipf-law statistics, and everyone knows only real things that are true follow zipf therefore the simulation must be accurate..." I suppose the plot twist would be something along the lines of outright falsehood documents also follow zipf...
I agree, for emacs, I find the official documentation nicer to use, because it's about the version I'm actually using, while a lot of the web stuff is years out of date, whether it's in blog posts, StackOverflow, or EmacsWiki. This matters for some things more than others of course, since some stuff hasn't changed in years, and other things have been overhauled more recently (like packages).
I think exposing the rules will make them stronger.

It is indeed Persian art. The arabs didn't really have much in terms of art or culture coming from a bedouin culture, they conquered the Persians, forcibly converted them to Islam, and subsumed their art. Most of what we know as "islamic" is actually Persian, spread by arab conquerors.
Of course not.

Imagine a world where the government came out and said: for optimum health eat nothing but meat, fish, poultry and lots and lots of vegetables.

How in the world would you feed a population of 300+ million eating this way? You can't.

For this reason, we're encouraged to consume things that are easy to grow: wheat, rice, etc.

That was just a thought experiment - I am not trying to have the debate here of what the optimum diet is. I am just trying to provide a little perspective as to why under some circumstances the advice we're given may not always match up with research.

Why Is This Matzo Different from All Other Matzos? An Unintended Side Effect
This is one of my preferred methods of development.

I use jQuery because I'm not worried about the 40kb and I'll take all the free backwards compatibility I can get. Besides it'll inevitably be a dependency for one of the libraries you want to use.

your link says:

The next keyword may be used with link, a, and area elements

of course it is allowed to put it in <link>. And if your badly sanitized HTML (which hopefully did strip the malicious onClick handler ;)) includes an <a rel="" href="">, are we sure that parsers will prefer the <link> in the header? Or will Google and others actively ignore the <a>, despite the standard allowing it on both? That would be useful to know.

For simple bots putting it in an easy-to-discover link in <head> might be good, but a search engine and a browser both have to parse the entire page anyways...

From the sounds of it they just don't know and need to fund some research.

"And pilots have also called for the DoT to fund tests into what would happen if a drone got sucked into an engine or crashed into a plane's windscreen."

"Last month, the British Airline Pilots Association noted that while the threat of bird strikes had been well researched there was little data about how much damage a drone could cause a plane."

I wonder if any other organisations have conducted any rigorous testing?
Well, probably because sins of gluttony and sloth are much more common causes then some "God knows what" condition, which become more serious when combined.

Looks like controls are completely different from https://xmoto.tuxfamily.org/. In Elastomania and original XMoto left/right just adds momentum, and in XMoto.js it just tilts the player forward or backward, which is more realistic. Is this behaviour intended?

They are orthogonal in 1 technical sense. But the benefits are reaped from the combination.

You say this based on what? Me and other Haskell users believe that the costs are very minimal and the benefits are quite huge.

I'm no DB programmer, but despite the inefficiencies of the first approach (fetch entire article each time and display a different chunk) it would allow for users (or admins) to change page length after the article is written a LOT more easily than if each page was stored separately. Is this a potential concern of using the second method where each chunk is in its own field?

> ... Apple does exactly zero things for me and still wants 30% ...

I'll bite. The Romans, err I mean Apple have done nothing, except at least these:

* Maintains a user database including authentication, plus all the support costs (lost password support is very high)

* Payment handling (you dismiss it, but no one does it for free) including keeping up with tax authorities and legal systems in much of the world

* Almost unlimited (re)downloads for users to a reasonable number of devices. Bandwidth is cheap but not free.

* Backup and restore for application data. (You may not use it, but that functionality is available to apps without extra fees.)

* A curated walled garden including a review process. I'm sure your app is fine, but Apple keeping the dregs out and avoiding the place turning into a cesspool means users can be more confident about the apps and that halo effect helps all apps in the store.

* Mechanisms to extend your app such as IAP, and an advertising solution etc

* Access to a large user base, with reasonably fair rules that everyone has play by

* They make all the above work together

The case can be made that the benefits used vary by app, but in aggregate it isn't an unreasonable amount for them to charge. It is worth noting that competitors haven't done anything substantially different.

There were a few big controversies on Twitter and Reddit that I can recall. In one instance in particular, someone called out some Haskell users trying to make Haskell look better by publishing code examples of common algorithms that "cheated" (i.e. the Haskell quicksort that's so popularly paraded around isnt a true quicksort). After the person argued this, they were banned from the Haskell subreddit.
Sounds like a non-issue. How many of today's "policy heads" would know anything about the situation on the ground of that hypothetical nation? I personally think anybody with sufficient STEM background has a higher chance of assimilating and interpreting policy knowledge than pure policy-heads.

You'll find plenty of Physics students with whom you can have an advanced policy or philosophy discussion, but I've never met a Policy or Philosophy student with any Physics knowledge.
The truth is that real estate in SF is limited largely by anti-growth laws.

Someone in another thread pointed out that if this were the problem, New York would be the cheapest place in the country.

The local anti-growth political sentiment is a problem but ultimately there's just not that much space in SF to expand into, being a peninsula. Any sustained expansion of housing in SF will have to happen vertically, at which point we're back to the NYC example. The additional housing won't be "affordable" unless the developers are forced to build the 21st-century equivalent of Cabrini Green.
If subsistence is effortless and never a problem, is it really a problem that they never make tools? If humans had a matrix-like virtual reality, you could do whatever you wanted, and never to work a day in your life, I would imagine many people would never work or make tools.

Domains vs. pay per click: Do new TLDs work?
Surely aviation safety is based on trying to eliminate or mitigate low probability threats.

Yes, this is part of the equation, but you also need to balance your efforts based on the "risk landscape". Spending effort in one place generally means that less effort is spent elsewhere. I think it's a direct parallel to optimizing code: measure first, then optimize. Making your inner loop 10% faster will make a difference, while speeding up your logging won't. Or vice versa, if you have no single inner loop and your logging is abysmally slow: measure first!

If it turns out that drones have 1000x the per impact likelihood of causing a fatality than impact with a birds, but that you are 100000x more likely to hit a bird than a drone, then are you better off spending your efforts on reducing the risk of drone impacts or bird impacts? Or (seemingly perversely) is it better just to tolerate both risks as they are if measurements suggest greater return by concentrating your efforts on improving airport security (or mental health checks for pilots, or testing English proficiency, or even traffic safety on the way to the airport).

In this case, my guess would be that adding regulations to reduce the risk of accidental drone strikes by aircraft will have negligible returns, that common sense "don't fly near airport runways" is sufficient, and that there is lower hanging fruit that makes more sense to concentrate on. Normal Accidents by Charles Perrow is an excellent book if you are interested in this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_Accidents
I think that's a bit of a generalisation :)
Memory management isn't solved though. In a lot of applications, it takes up a significant amount of memory and/or cpu time, which can be of importance if you have time constraints, space constraints, and/or power constraints. Deterministic memory lets you, for example, know that the 256 bytes on your microcontroller is more than enough, or that you will always hit the timings needed to guarantee that your project will always output at 60 frames per second. Yes, there are a lot of times you can just throw RAM at the problem to make it go away, but there are a lot of really interesting problems out there that do require you to be able to intimately manage resources.
> early childhood

I think this is a property of neural net style memories. Old data isn't "deleted" from the network; instead, new reinforcement makes older memories less accurate. This means memories that were particularly strong can persist for a long time; a lot of "overwriting" with unrelated data is necessary to dilute out a traumatic memory.

This can start at any point in life, but memories that happened in childhood have more time to cause the problems you mentioned.
> Nobody needs to be flying drones near airports.

But who defines 'near'? At present, this is defined by the industry with a vested interest in passing the costs onto regulators and law enforcement. Not in investing in drone detection or mitigation technology.

CTRs around airports already deprive residents of their airspace rights, often to a radius of 5nm from an airport. In many cities that means no drones in a large chunk of residential area.
I agree that one shouldn't apply ML in a commercial context without understanding it. But I think that's true about almost anything. I can't think of a technology I use for which I don't have a corresponding "novices did it all wrong" story.

But here we're talking about a series of intro videos and the appropriate pedagogical approach. It really could be that ML has more subtle failure modes than programming, although I'm suspicious; I remember a lot of my novice C issues where the program did happen to appear to work, at least for short periods, even though my code was terrible. But if it is, I think the trick there isn't to prescribe a heavier dose of theory, it's to get people to experience problems like you describe in a way where they can quickly detect and learn from them.

It's handy if you're looking for the methods definition using a regex. Instead of doing something like (in pseudo-regex):

$[public|private|whatever-else-can-behere](FUNCTION_YOURE_LOOKING_FOR)

you can do a slightly simpler

$(FUNCTION_YOURE_LOOKING_FOR)

Obviously your code editor/IDE should handle that, but maybe if you wanted to whip up a quick script to something a little odd, it'd be quite handy to have the function name on a separate line.

Interesting thought, and I've been there before, but I've also come to think of technology as an extension of humans. As computers are not currently capable of independent thought, they must [generally] be instructed by humans on what to do. We've also laid out their CPUs and GPUs and busses and power circuitry. Their physical evolution is based on the business roadmaps at places like IBM, Intel, AMD, NVidia, Micron, Dell, etc driven by tasks which they can perform to further the economies of humans. Contrast this to animals, where there is a drive for survival and furthering the species. Computers don't have this sense because they don't have life. Technology is impressive, but in terms of what a computer wants, I don't see it as much different from a shovel; it's a tool created and used by humans for the benefit of humans.
So in essence you have solved the problem of a mail client not properly notifying the user when mail does not send? I use Gmail, Mail, and Outlook. All of these notify me nearly instantaneously when a message does not send. On the odd occasion that my mail doesn't sync, I know almost immediately. Really, from my experience, email works quite well. As you say, you are reducing the time wasted by emails not sending and accounts not syncing so that time can be spent managing your email. That's fine, but we already have that. You say there is nothing you can do about the amount of mail people get. Unfortunately, that is the problem in the space I think. Mail clients and servers are very good at sending and receiving mail. But making the mail relevant, now that's a problem.
