Realize you're a mod, beyond that, do not know you, your opinions, experiences, etc.

Given your not saying what was wrong, just calling me names, I'll expand on what I said.

(Re: TLDR) I personally dislike long-form, especially if it's on a topic I find interesting, but to me, not worth reading; clearly my opinion, but that I would hope is obvious.

(Re: Look at the photographs.) I found the photos interesting and worth looking at; if you have an issue with this, you need to explain why.

Please don't take my response as anything other than trying to understand how you feel and why.

(On a side note, which users are mods? Ask since I plan to follow them to get a better since of how mods deal with issues.)
Comment about your marketing website: I browse with cookies and localStorage disabled, and when I visit your site it's completely blank. I understand that if I were to create an account, log in, and utilize the functionality of your app that cookies (and/or localStorage) would be a requirement, but I don't understand why the marketing content wouldn't show up at all.
We are going to suffer. I'm worried that my children are going to suffer too ;(
You're correct, we fixed this issue, the new warning will be: "Shared runners execute code of different projects on the same Runner unless you configure GitLab Runner Autoscale with MaxBuilds 1 (which it is on GitLab.com)."
Agreed, with one exception: when you as an individual have fairly deep knowledge about something and spot a market opportunity based on that knowledge, you might be able to correctly judge whether you can take advantage of it.

I've done this several times and made good money. Two times I approximately doubled my money over the course of several months. Yeah, not day trading but buying and waiting for the market to figure out what I already knew. The thing about that is, it only happens when it happens. Most of the time my money is sitting in index funds quietly getting solid but undramatic returns, and I don't have to pay much attention at all.
Tried and it's 2%. Not quite gtk's 0%, but better than my last test of an immediate mode ui.
You need to install Composer, the PHP package manager, and then install it, but there aren't a whole lot of OS dependencies there. You don't have to install node, then npm, then... ad nauseum. You just drop a composer binary on there, and then run composer install, and it installs the app dependencies.

I personally find it much less headache-inducing than NPM, but I think practically, they're about the same in terms of what they do.
Via HN, I became a fan of Derek Sivers and so I listened to his interview recently on Software Engineering Daily. He described the common internet behavior of a person saying "I like X" and a bunch of people reacting with "You are wrong. I don't like X".

There's a big space for empathy in programming. And on Hacker News. And elsewhere. It's probably a project that can keep one busy for as long as they choose to write about it.
bingo...
Like just about everybody else it seems, I use Sublime Text. Every year or so since I first heard about Atom, I give it a couple weeks. It has really come a long way since pre-1.0 days. It is very usable and doesn't crash nearly as often. However, there is strange behavior that ends up pushing me back to ST3. Over the years I've developed a "bullshit cutoff point" after which I stop using an application. If a distro/app/site/whatever is making me spend hours on getting it working/fixed/performant/whatever, I go back to what works until some months down the road. I think Atom is very close to being a top-tier editor, but not quite yet "better" than Sublime for my purposes. I do think that it's just a matter of time, though, that an army of developers will eventually surpass one developer (as long as its not mismanaged, and Atom certainly isn't). So for me, Atom's day is still yet to come, but I do think it will come.

So for example, multiple panes and session/editor restarts should be flawless for me to give serious consideration to an editor. If there is even one bump in the road, I judge extremely harshly. And problems/bugs with panes and remembering my session is what pushed me back to Sublime this spring. I should be able to drop whatever I'm doing, restart Linux, and when it boots back up, start the editor and it will be as though nothing happened, including multiple unsaved tabs. Atom has a lot of trouble with this.
Yes it does work outside if the space has enough objects around so it can generate a model of the location. When model generation fails, it falls back to a "limited mode" where holograms follow you around instead of staying where you put them.

Oddly enough, the tracking system does not work in the dark, so you need some light to use it.

I for one applaud your use of the vulgar and am doing my best to upvote you mightily.
not with that little info from Viber. According to Frederic Jacobs (one of the OpenWhisperSystems devs) they are relying on md5 for cryptographic hashing :(
Apple really does do nasty things to drive short term profits while hurting user experience. Why does Apple charge $130 for a $5 LTE antenna on iPads or $100 for a $3 64GB SSD chip on iPhones? Why do they cripple entry level iPhones with only 16GB? Why do they have a long history (recently ameliorated) of selling Macs with far too little RAM to be useful and charging ten times the market price for upgrades?

Just because they aren't guilty here doesn't mean Apple hasn't behaved badly at some point. And when a company prizes short term profits from loyal customers over long term profits and gains of market share, that isn't a conspiracy -- it's a strategy.
Yes, it probably does not, and I think that using STM is actually fine in Clojure. Just you have to pay attention to the limitations.
Would you mind sharing how long you have done this for.
There are a handful of people who are in the same boat you are and handle their taxes on their own with no problem. That said, for the vast majority of us, setting money aside and not touching it is really (like, REALLY) hard. Painless gets cash from freelance gigs out of sight and out of mind before you feel like it's money you should dip into. Beyond that, the automation of a process you'd have to do manually otherwise is something we think everyone can get behind whether you have a process in place currently or not.
lol that was the idea, glad you enjoyed it!
I wish Azure would improve Blob Storage. It is really a shadow of S3's capabilities.
I assume that this is to prevent people from making an infinite number of trial accounts and never paying. If you're on Windows, Netflix will use Silverlight to fingerprint your system too. On Android, they will grab the device ID. Not sure what they do on iOS, since I don't use iOS.
What do you mean by "reference"? I was talking about corporate environment of dozens or so F500 where I participated in various projects personally, and saw myriads of archaic in-house development tools that would embarrass even prehistoric. DO was used in a couple of cases, not too widespread, but I had a feel it's one of the places it could really make a difference. And introducing Git to that would just make the whole deal so much better.
Consider that an average Global 2000 enterprise has over 10,000 in-house apps, and a lot of them are being developed in a dedicated environment.

Ok, but what about...

Someone:

* buys an apartment and decides to turn it into an office for a few accountants.

* buys a house and decides to build a corner store, like this: https://goo.gl/maps/jcHex9ndsFv

* buys a house and tears it down to create a small used clothing store.

* buys a house and turns it into a small restaurant.

* buys a house and turns it into a bar.

My guess is that people are going to complain about some of these things, but not others. However, if you don't allow anyone to change things ever, you get a very rigid and brittle city. What would we do with the stables if they had never been allowed to change into something else?
If I can save time and not have to figure out security, reporting and everything else, I'm on board!
The All-Black Utopian Ghost City That Lost Its Soul
The evangelical Christian concept of "abundant life" is already an attempt to monetize the religious imperative of tithing. It's the "prosperity gospel": give us money and God will make you rich. I say this as an evangelical Christian myself.
And there are services now which automate this. For a management fee (generally 0.025%/year) you can set up automated recurring deposits, choose a risk tolerance, and let the algorithm continuously rebalance your portfolio automatically in a tax-efficient way. Just click some nice big friendly buttons and enter your information and forget about it, and watch your portfolio grow (or drop, with the market).

I work at a startup (https://www.sigfig.com) that does this, and lets you view in-depth information about how your portfolio is performing through rich charts and tables on our site and mobile apps. Our competitors (https://www.wealthfront.com/ and https://www.betterment.com/ among others) offer a similar service with slightly different value props.

There's really no excuse anymore for not signing up for something like this. It's insanely easy and ridiculously cheap. Like, maybe an hour to set up with zero paperwork to send in, and a tenth of the cost of an active fund.
>The ideal attitude is what she calls Abundant Thinking

When I see a marketable name for such things, I immediately know it's some BS mix-match of hogwash to sell to people in need.

And sure enough: "sought-after executive coach Katia Verresen, who counsels leaders at Facebook, Stanford, Airbnb, Twitter, and a number of prominent startups".
>You will never, ever beat the market by making smart trades.

Agree. Just buy ticker VOO and get on with your life. Even Warren Buffet has said to buy 90% VOO and 10% bonds. And you will never be as good at this as Warren Buffett.

That said, I take 10% of my net worth and put it in a 'casino fund' where I can buy whatever I want. Startups, peer to peer nonsense, individual stocks, and so on.

Attachments to fame, money, and power inherently limit your power. This is why you always see cult leader types who use "real" spiritual tactics eventually fall into an ego-trap.

If you are truly "on the path", you will eventually be challenged to drop your ego. It matters not how you got onto the path, but how you respond to each challenge.
I agree with this, once you are aware (or think of) what you're doing as closer to gambling than "investing" ie. use money you're prepared to lose as opposed to the kids college fund
Isn't it weird how it's not affordable to pay for a new public service but as soon that job is being done you're told not to get too attached because a robot will be along promptly to replace you?
Well, you might do better trading for short periods of time, but you probably won't beat stock index funds over a 25+ year period.
There's a system for this already, sign up for EFTPS and the Treasury Department will automatically schedule and take out estimated tax payments. I just set mine up for next tax year and it's easy. Their website is awful and stuck in the 90's but it does work. https://www.eftps.gov/eftps/
If all the PHP nay-sayers used Laravel, the public opinion toward PHP would shift dramatically to be more favorable. It's a modern framework that makes using PHP a true joy, as opposed to the wrangling we had with PHP pre-5.4.

It pretty much ships with everything you need to build an app: scaffolding, migrations, authentication, middleware, templating, caching. Most of getting up and running is really configuring a bunch of settings that takes virtually no time at all.

I'm a huge Laravel fan. They also have a slimmed down version called Lumen, which is pretty much specifically for APIs. Lumen stays up-to-date with Laravel, so you get the benefits of both worlds there.

I highly recommend William O'Neil's "How to Make Money in Stocks" [0]. There's a lot of chart study involved and high-level advice that's necessary for gaining a higher understanding of what drives the market.

While I agree that you won't ever beat the market by making smart trades, this book will teach you the discipline needed to keep from losing money or being lured into stocks and index funds by Wall Street bullshit.

> Calling things amateur is sad - who are they to decide?

The owners of the platform?

> Let the market decide, don't decide for the market.

That's completely nonsensical, every content owner or provider makes decision about the content they want to publish, at best "the market" "decides" whether it likes their content or not.

> Seriously? This is progress?

This is old news, mostly. These are a curt form of the developer agreement (with a short form of the reasoning behind them), the original version was leaked back in 2010 or something, back when it was still an internal guidelines document for appstore reviewers.
I learned about them in a bizarre, backwards way; starting with commodities trading (which is more comprehensible because it is zero-sum and its purpose and flows of cash are comprehensible.) Then I moved to bonds, through munis; then insurance, then finally stocks and other derivatives. It's probably a more historically ordered way of learning than is normal.
Ask HN: Systems programming at AWS/Amazon
Hi - Anyone on here work for Amazon or AWS and working operating systems / low level networking / virtualization type work?

I've seen some job postings for os stuff but that was in Dresden and also some EC2 networking (VPC packet pipeline). Anyone here with any information about teams doing work at this layer? Also does anyone work with ECS (elastic container service)?

Thanks

The more I think about how exciting this could be for education uses, the more reality kicks in with a dose of cynicism that no matter how whiz-bang fancy the presentation method might be, it takes actual personal work and investment to 'learn' things. I mean, sure, watching videos and clicking on stuff is great, but from my studies, I saw very little evidence that such engagements result in much of any valuable retention. Or, in other words, now instead of begging to quit piano lessons, kids can beg to stop having to work through their AR/VR Serato Club DJ Training Modules.
You're getting free CI runners where you had none. Is that not enough benefit? It's not as if there is a scale where newbies get EVERYTHING and vets of 10+ years get nothing.

I'm one of those anti-Facebook people you're talking about. I have several issues with Facebook.

It's principally designed to profile people. This makes it extremely dangerous and a powerful weapon against you. Got nothing to hide? It doesn't matter if someone has something to gain. In the future, someone could easily generate a list based on your political party of preference. I can think of many scenarios how I could aggregate and abuse such information.

Facebook is also one of the least sincere communications I can think of. Many comments here reflect it .. "friends didn't know I was gone". They're not true friends. My friends all speak in person or on the phone. We catch up for coffee, lunch, dinner or as a social outing. I can't even imagine how people equate the synthetic "had a baby" tag (or whatever FB uses) even constitutes worthy communication. You didn't know a friend had a baby? Not a friend. They don't want to send you photos if you're not on FB? Not a friend.

It's fascinating to watch FB users chat online or see them in real life. It looks synthetic and there is a significant emphasis on minutia "[chuckle] my brother just had KFC for lunch".. To which I reply "aaannnnddd??" "Oh, he normally eats Subway".. "Aaannnnddd?" "Oh, you just don't get it!". That's true, I don't.

It is odd that we make so much noise about secret courts and encryption impacting privacy, yet, we give our privacy away freely on FB. To quote OMC, "how bizarre". I don't think I'll ever get it.

In large part due to massive governmental inefficiencies, massive defence spending, and because the richest individuals and corporations hardly pay any tax on their (real) earnings...

One of the reasons I made this is to lower the entry barrier in the world of open source. If we get good contributions, I'll definitely want to include NLP / ML.
I think it depends on the primary use case (for accounting vs banking) - I know a lot of people who are earning barely livable wages as 1099 employees and they are often tempted to spend everything they earn (need to make rent and feed themselves) but then come April they haven't saved enough for their taxes and get screwed. Having a separate bank account that withholds the taxes for them first and then deposits 100% spendable money (just like a W-2 employee) would be really helpful for people in this position.
If you're coming at the problem with this use case in mind primarily, the approach they took makes sense. I think those people can benefit from this service the most too.

It's worth noting that this proof implicitly uses the parallel axiom (since it assumes a Cartesian coordinate system). The linked proof is independent of that, and applies to non-Euclidean geometries as well.
> *Note: Promotion code available for new DigitalOcean customers only.

This type of promotion really aggravates me. I'm not just saying this only about the announced GitLab/DigitialOcean partnership, but rather as a general comment as I see this customer acquisition ruse quite a lot elsewhere too.

I spend money with DigitalOcean. I don't feel particularly rewarded for my loyalty when I can't enjoy the same promotion as some new customer, who may never spend another cent with DO.
Donald Trump is a problem, yes, although arguably for bigger reasons than just his stance on climate change. Ted Cruz is from Texas, so... :).

I'm not sure where you get the impression that Hillary Clinton thinks climate change is "not a problem". Her website certainly states otherwise: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/climate/
At that point (with the baby etc), you want to use ALL the time you get the chance to sleep.

You are not gonna waste 15 minutes meditating, nor do you have the courage to...

It's like asking why one can't go surfing/running/whatever after a 14 hour work shift. Yeah, you still have 10 hours left in the day, but you hardly have the power at that point...
"buy the same amount of most things"

You are then talking about the thing / currency exchange rate.
Yes, the holograms are literally objects made of light so at low brightness they are transparent, but if you crank up they will appear solid but you still won't confuse it for a real object because they are so bright.

I haven't watched a whole movie on it yet, but it wouldn't be a problem, the device is reasonably comfortable so you can wear it for hours
Apple’s Organizational Crossroads
Another climate change story on HN where the top comment is a denier citing logical fallacies about how statistics and science work. :(

As crass as it may sound, I really wish Hacker News would talk about all the money that can be made by building startups that aim at mitigating the effects of climate change, about the routes to renewable, sustainable energy sources (also worth untold trillions of dollars), etc.

Instead, HN seems to mostly be composed of climate change deniers.

-------------

Edit: HN tells me I'm not allowed to reply to rsync's comment below. Here's my reply:

> You don't have to be a "denier" to be annoyed by hearing that the "most (X) ever" is based on ~150 years of observations.

The post author was not expressing annoyance. They expressed that the climate is not changing due to human activity:

> Since we are coming out of an ice age a mere (on the geologic time scale) 12,000 years ago, we should expect increasingly warm temperatures.

That is not "a reasonable comment and a reasonable sentiment." It's an extremely damaging falsehood that does not have a place here on HN.
I know that. There is the possibility though to have a human readable EULA side by side with the lawyer readable one. That would actually be fair towards the users.

> itunes scrolls at like 1FPS on the retina, as on example

if you want to be even more frustrated by this, try scrolling by clicking and dragging the scrollbar on the side of the window. note that it's buttery smooth.

so it's almost certainly caused by JS scroll event handling, since the iTunes store on OS X is just a big webview.
The point of my previous post is that your supposed trade-off is a false choice.

There's A LOT of middle ground between today's limitations on drone operators and a world where we expect to shoot down aircraft near crowded airports. If you try to sell that either/or to the public, you're going to lose. And rightly so.

FORTUNATELY, there's a lot the FAA could do to make the USA more drone-friendly while also ensuring the safety of conventional aircraft and critical infrastructure. Good drone policy, if ever enacted, will follow from this observation. It will not follow from a false choice between militarized anarchy and industry-crippling regulation.

(It'd also be neat if we could introduce technical solutions to the stupid/clueless person problem. For example, it'd be nice if the FAA funded the development of open-source, optional, and easy to disable software that warns the pilot (and only the pilot) before the drone enters a restricted area. It'd also be really nice if drone manufacturers voluntarily installed that software on capable drones. We're all better off if Johnny doesn't commit a felony and ground the next 30 minutes of take-offs while trying out his cool birthday present...)

Hey now, you're assuming Apple learned anything from being legally held liable for collusion with respect to the publishing industry, which if you read the statement from their lawyer following the verdict, they apparently did not.
I don't get your line of thinking. You are condoning their actions because they own the platform? It's their garden, they can do whatever, so we just stop talking about it?

Can we then do the same for, I don't know Korea, Middle east and the like? It's their land, they can do whatever with human rights. Why talk about it?
