> Etc. Why did I have to Google around for it?

Googling for something is more convenient than going through the man pages, and Google is awesome at providing you with the best content associated with your query.

The highest voted question regarding git, «how do you undo the last commit», is the very first example listed in git's man page on git commit.

Convenience always trumps availability.

Recruiters are sharks. Its quite funny when you play them at their own games though. I did a few interviews with different recruiters in my last hunt. Told them all 'I am interviewing for one other job' so I didn't look desperate but at the same didn't look too committed (so I was a good horse to bet on). Then once I got the offer I wanted I dropped all other interviews immediately (one on the day). Got some anger for that!

I often get the impression that Sam Harris is passively meditating when he speaks.

Though I listened to a 3 1/2 hour train-wreck of a conversation he posted on his podcast with someone who'd reviewed a recent book of his unfairly (in his opinion). He made a very strong effort to keep the conversation on track, and communicated as clearly as ever, but it didn't take long for the frustration to become clear to anyone who listens. My impression is, that as good a communicator as Sam Harris is, there's almost no way to salvage a conversation with a terrible communicator.

Apple is not even trying, or is leaving their Maps team terribly under resourced. I've been running some experiments submitting the same edits to Google, Yelp & Apple simultaneously (since Apple uses Yelp data), and timing how long each takes to update. The last time I publicly recorded my results:

Google Maps: 40 minutes

Yelp: 3 days 20 hours

Apple Maps: 13 days

https://twitter.com/syneryder/statuses/668473075365642240

I know Apple's policy is to screen edits carefully to ensure accuracy & avoid vandalism, but it's actually making their maps more inaccurate, because it takes longer for errors to be fixed. Google has also started incentivising frequent editors with rewards (like free 1TB Google Drive subscriptions), which helps encourage people to make the corrections in the first place.
Apple was once considered extremely innovative despite its secrecy because it regularly shipped ground-breaking new products like OS X, its breathtakingly high-design computers in the late 90s and early 2000s, the iPod, and of course the iPhone.

Apple hasn't shipped a successful new product line since Steve Jobs' death, and sales of its last successful major product — the iPhone — now seem to be slowing. Their cloud efforts are famously flailing, and their software is increasingly stale: who here has a folder full of unused Apple apps, with better third-party replacements on their home screen or dock? Almost everyone with an Apple device.

I sit here writing this on a Macbook, unironically. Their hardware manufacturing capability is best in class, and they've managed to hone their existing products' hardware increasingly close to perfection. But innovative? You can't be innovative just by spending money on R&D. You have to ship new products. And for now, Apple seems like it can't.

> Usually the more complex the system, the more satisfaction the hacker feels when he or she pwns it.

Equating "selling" to "pwning" is not a good way to think about any kind of sales. Talking about "hacking" a customer suggests that they are somehow inferior and that the goal is to somehow beat or triumph over them, to trick them or exploit a vulnerability. No company should think of their potential customers in that way.

I think the main difference is that Scrapy is async - it downloads pages in parallel by default, so it is more efficient. But async APIs can be harder to use - you need callbacks or generators everywhere, so sync packages (like RoboBrowser) can be easier to get started.

It seems to me that the implementation issue is just a symptom of a deeper problem: copyright and DRM by definition grants a monopoly. This monopoly can be abused. For instance, if you want to watch movie X and it is distributed in such a way that you have to give private data, your options are not to watch it or get a "non official" version.

Could the copyright law be extend in order to prevent its abuse and protect the consumers, for instance by using the concept of "abusive clause" [0]?

I bought a 2012 MacBook Pro (which Apple still sells in stores) instead of a 2015 model partly because it still has an Ethernet port. Apple could definitely make laptops with Ethernet, they're just choosing not to in their desire for ever thinner machines.

I also feel the keyboard and trackpad quality has deteriorated on the thinner devices. I much prefer the snap of the click on the 2012 MacBook Pro trackpad to the Force Touch simulated click.

Microsoft Studios is still active, however, Ensemble Studios who developed Age of Empires was closed in 2009. Then you have Skybox Labs who built "HD" versions of some of their games.

Some guys from Ensemble has since formed Robot Entertainment, released e.g. AoE Online, and is supposedly (?) using Microsoft as publisher once again but I don't think they're part of Microsoft Studios anymore. AoE Online was shut down in 2014 though. :/
What's the statute of limitations for such things in NY?

The very point of the statute of limitations is to limit how much of the present is spent digging up the past.
I think this poses a real threat to the open web itself.

First we have DRM video and soon after music.

Next the game industry wants to protect their source code. And app developers.

After that come images. A lot of companies would love to display their pictures but keep them from being "stolen".

And, at last, normal text will also be DRM'd and the open web is history.
> What we need is a GUI app for controlling git.

Why?

I mean, I don't oppose anyone investing his own time developing yet another GUI interface for git.

But the thing is, a command line gives you much more control and is actually quicker to operate than any GUI app.

Similar boat here. I abandoned Firefox back in the day due to the memory and freezing problems, and general lack of responsiveness compared to Chrome. The difference in everyday use was massive here; we went from having a browser that could hardly handle having 3 tabs open while using a gigabyte of memory, to one that worked flawlessly and used a fraction of the resources. Firefox then put in a lot of effort fixing those issues. By this time though, Chrome's built-in DevTools was more robust for my tastes compared to Firebug or the horrific early versions of their built-in replacement. I had a good development setup, all the addons I needed, and a fast browser. I simply had little reason to switch back.

I did spend a brief period swapping back to Firefox for the sake of perceived privacy, but then they started bundling all sorts of third party bloatware and it was just too much. I'm not a superfan of the information I imagine Google collects from my using Chrome, but the browser itself is just too good to give up. Firefox now only gets opened to verify cross-browser functionality of frontend UIs I work on, and on rare occasions when I want to use a proxy in a browser without it being used system-wide.

> It always baffles me to see parents offload absolutely everything on teachers, including responsibilities that should at least be shared (e.g. sex education) or downright theirs (e.g. manners).

There are strong social benefits to having sex education & relationship education provided by schools.

Most parents leave it to late. Their information is out of date or incorrect. They don't cover the relationship stuff, especially the consent stuff. And they tend to avoid the newer problems or they give simplistic prohibitionary advice. (An example of a newer problem is "sexting". If parents do talk about this they tend to say to girls "just don't do it"; they tend not to say to all children "don't ask other people to send you an image" or "some people are visual, but other people aren't" or "don't send unsolicited dick pics". Some people describe this as weird social conditioning, but frankly I'm okay with conditioning people to not send unsolicited images of their genitals to random strangers.)
Exactly! IPFS already has a web proxy to their content addressed network. (e.g https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXZnH2WVmFoiE7tRJQk9QstLGhSKpVyEQ4Rywx... ) And hopefully browsers will learn to speak the protocol natively so then there's no need for a http proxy at all.
Thanks to all those banks that have seeded Apple Pay with more customers than they could possibly have hoped for.

Quite the opposite -- there is some evidence that disfluencies are good. Here is a study hinting that disfluencies improve recall:

Stripping a speech of ums and uhs, as Toastmasters are intent on doing, appears to be doing listeners no favors.

On the other hand, if you want to give a powerful, short speech you may care less about people remembering specific content details and more about people remembering that you gave a good speech. In that case you may want to spend some time removing the disfluencies in your speech.

Ask HN: Which browser is the safest to use when making money transactions?
A friend of mine was stolen recently (on his SKRILL account) and I wonder which is the safest browser (at least in theory) specially regarding money transactions.
One more important thing you need to know about the enterprise you're selling into: what spending approval levels does the champion and his/her management chain have? Often they'll have discretion over anything under 10K, and will have to seek higher approval for larger sums. This is one of the factors that has driven SaaS monthly charges as opposed to traditional perpetual licenses with six or seven figure tags.

> I'm finding it challenging to reconcile your personal example with the images of the smashed windshield

Really? It seems fairly obvious to me. The sensors are in the front of the car, lower down. So anything on the ground in front of the car registers as an obstacle and the car stops. Such as a small step.

The front of this trailer (they keep referring to it as the back, but it's clearly the front) was too high off the ground to register as an obstacle. You'll note that the front of the car has plenty room - there's nothing blocking it - but the windscreen doesn't!

So it needs to be fixed; you could imagine a Tesla running into, say, a small truck with timber sticking out the back when the speed was low enough that the safe distance between vehicles was small. But it hardly seems life-threatening in any way.
When it was launched, Chrome/Chromium had 2 advantages over Firefox: Speed and superior developer tools.

Chrome was unbelievably quick: the moment you clicked on the launcher and browser 'chrome' (heh) appeared instantaneously, Firefox was comparatively sluggish, and notoriously memory hungry (though that might have been the fault of sloppily written plugins)

To my mind writing off Go is table stakes for having an interesting discussion about modern programming language choice - anyone who takes Go seriously is coming from a position so different from mine that it would take many pages (all of which would be rehashing of old discussions) to bridge the gap, and I honestly can't be bothered. While I would try not to be so rude about it, I think GP is right to dismiss the language without going into detailed reasons; there are any number of threads about Go that cover the case for and against already.
> Apple hasn't shipped a successful new product line since Steve Jobs' death

I disagree.

The Apple Watch is only "unsuccessful" using a yardstick calibrated to the scale of existing Apple product lines -- in its first year it appears to have achieved sales revenue on the same order as Rolex ($4.7Bn, per Forbes).

(Apple's secretiveness makes it hard to tell how many Watches they've sold, but the low estimates are in the millions, and the high end estimate -- 12 million shipped through 2015, per Canalys -- would put them in the same league as the market leading luxury watch manufacturer, if not ahead.)

If any other company had released a product that replaced the century-old industry-wide #1 luxury brand within a single year it would be seen as truly disruptive and a major breakthrough. But the wristwatch industry is small by Apple standards, and the nascent smartwatch market is still embryonic compared to smartphones, so the scale of sales doesn't match onlookers' inflated expectations of an Apple product.

(As for Project Titan, I expect a bit more than just an electric car, given that scale of investment. Possibly an attempt at redefining how we do intraurban and suburban personal transport, the Apple way. But they'll have an uphill struggle to supplant the automobile with something better, because of all the built infrastructure and regulatory constraints, so at least at first it'll look like "just an electric car".)
You are comparing across industries. Apple is a mix of software and manufacturing. As is Samsung. VW is a car company. Further, a better metric is to look at % of revenue spent on R&D.

Parsehub is pretty great, the free tier is interesting and the support is excellent.
What Firefox needs to be saved from, it's from Mozilla.
Actually, no. From RFC 1738, Section 3.10:

A file URL takes the form:

file://<host>/<path>

where <host> is the fully qualified domain name of the system on
which the <path> is accessible, and <path> is a hierarchical
directory path of the form <directory>/<directory>/.../<name>.

And then in Section 5 (the BNF):

... elements may be preceded
with <n>* to designate n or more repetitions of the following
element; n defaults to 0.

fileurl = "file://" [ host | "localhost" ] "/" fpath

fpath = fsegment *[ "/" fsegment ]
fsegment = *[ uchar | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" ]

So that first slash isn't part of the path, and the path starts with a directory name. The fact that the root directory in a UNIXy environment doesn't have a name (or has a zero-length name) is a source of much confusion. (Nobody would accept "file:////etc/passwd" as a URL, but that's how I read the spec.)

This is also why Firefox insists that there are five consecutive slashes when encoding a UNC string (a Windows/Samba share path, like "\\server\share\path\to\file.txt") into a URL (e.g.: "file://///server/share/path/to/file.txt")

And let us not even begin on the fact that file: URLs are specified in an "obsolete" spec, and explicitly allow characters in the path that are disallowed by RFC 3986. I'm working on fixing that [https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-file-scheme] but it takes time.
