I don't have any use for this, personally.

I am both a longtime user of both tmux and iTerm, although I haven't ever used iTerm's tmux "integration". Anyone have a good reference they could point me to that explains how it works and how to get started using it.

FWIW, I normally have a single iTerm window with two or three tabs open. In tab 1, I have a tmux session running which is mostly just SSH sessions to various servers (where I usually have tmux nested). This tab is where I spend 98% of my time. The other tab(s) are just for quick little things I need to do in a "clean" shell/window. I've looked a little into iTerm's tmux integration but I'm not sure it'd really be any benefit to me. (I'm not a developer but I am a network engineer and server monkey, so I've usually got anywhere from six to 30 SSH sessions open at once.)
You just made searching the internet for an ISBN or employing the Dewey Decimal System illegal. Congrats!

I think you instead meant to imply some sort of intent test. That gets very difficult very quickly. Figuring out how to write the RIAA's perpetual money-machine into law while not destroying section 230 or accidentally banning photocopiers is your next task.
I don't serve food to the public out of my office. Thus, I am trivially in compliance with food safety laws. Same with TPB. It hosts no content which is subject to the DMCA, and so is trivially compliant.
We did have to get visas at any country that spoke Russian or Chinese which was about eight.
Using this as a defense isn't wise because then the motivation is simply to make it law everywhere with trade agreements.
Barcelona is planing somthing similar. Some streets will allow through traffic while most only local traffic + through biking and walking.

I wanted to keep this blog post as simple as possible so even beginner Python devs could get through it in one short sitting. However, it's definitely possible to integrate the command processing piece with backend APIs. I'd first try using the TextBlob library before an external service though: https://textblob.readthedocs.io/en/dev/

My colleague Rob also wrote a post that uses TextBlog with a similar bot-type application over SMS: https://www.twilio.com/blog/2014/06/using-natural-language-p...

We use Xero and still have our accountant check our books before we file our end of year returns. The bonus of Xero is that our accountant has real time access to our finances - which means he can provide a more proactive service.
About the name: Yes, it contains the word "Pirate". It doesn't mean that the actual pirates are there.

But they are. It's like a place where you go to meet people to transact shady business, even if the actual transaction technically takes place elsewhere (ie outside the back door).
Because those services which TMobile has greenlit for free bandwidth now have a large competitive advantage over anyone else. Why would a user pay for, for instance, Seeso (a content streaming service) when they'd have to then pay even more for the data to stream it when they could just keep Netflix.

It's nice getting the free data, but this is shoehorning in the 'nice' parts of breaking net neutrality before the other shoe drops.
I hate Xero with a passion. I've a software engineer background and currently serve as CEO, ala non-accountant, I'm constantly finding bugs with their software that go on unfixed for months. I'm only using Xero because my accountant prefers it than spreadsheets.
Android indeed has some of the worst APIs. They feel extremely inconsistent.

iOS and Windows APIs are so much better.

I think it's fair to assume that most people share the same experience.
It's annoying, and possible a real problem if you neighborhood does have that much traffic, but it's something that should be solved at the city level, maybe don't do construction in multiple places that causes a major jam. Either way, I seriously doubt I'll ever stop driving on a street because it's bothering the residents.
For folks in the Northeast US, the Backyard Farms brand of tomatoes has a similarly fascinating growing process[1]. They're grown in greenhouse in Maine that's the size of 20 football fields[2]. There are no pests and therefore no pesticides; no dirt, so no washing.

Good faith effort.
> I will pay you. Others will pay you. This will lower the license fee back home.

As I understand it, this isn’t necessarily the case. I understand that the BBC actually investigated making iPlayer available in the US previously. The outcome was that cable networks told them they’d drop BBC America if it was to go ahead. For most networks in the US, BBCA sits in the middle tier - not a premium channel (eg HBO), but not in the basic package. It’s used as bait/value-add to provide incentive for customers to upgrade from the basic package. So for the networks, having the same content available online lowers its value.

This is the basic crunch when it comes to geo-free online streaming vs traditional cable networks. We (customers) want both models available to us, but the two are in direct opposition. And in this case, it’d appear the traditional model is still winning, since BBC International decided that preserving BBCA’s income was more important.

We tend to paint it as rather protectionist, but in most cases, the content-providers do have the option of walking. That they don’t want to, tells us that the existing model is still the more profitable. There’s not much we can do to fight it until this changes.
Ha, that's my exact comment from the related reddit thread. Kinda cool, I wonder how often that happens?

https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4msf41/elevate...
Could well be on the first point. I have no idea.

On the second point, I tend to disagree, believing that local government governs best and that travel/turn restrictions on residential side streets in Cambridge ought to be a city matter, not a state matter, IMO. (As a thought experiment, why shouldn't they need Federal approval for them? Why state exactly?)
>)I might not think that I have to compete on salary to get top talent. I may have a method of convincing talent to work here based on non-financial incentives.

Great point and I sort of side stepped that. It's not one not talked about enough. I didn't get a sense of that from the poster I replied to, but perhaps there is a compelling story there.
Surprised me how much came from Canada -- has that been a thing

Looking at the absolute number of immigrants per year skews things a bit in Canada's favour; the low barrier to movement means that there's relatively more Canadians who live in the USA for short durations.

I'm sure that Canada is a much smaller proportion of the stock of immigrants than than its proportion of the annual inflow.
W3C, EME and EFF: Frequently Asked Questions
Has no one seen the parallels and thinly veiled references to Anthony Bourdain's TV shows here? In fact its referenced directly but in quotes with the "no reservations" quip. Bourdain was frequently criticized for the fact that in extremely poor areas of the world he threw money around and caused unintended consequences for the locals. Take for instance his Haiti visit after the earthquake, when he tried to buy a meal for starving kids but then couldn't feed all of them when the word got out.
This is actually being discussed by some politicians, and some are past the discussing step AFAIR.

>it just doesn't have green threads in the stdlib

Green Threads is one of the most important features in golang - to pretend that "Rust offers almost everything that Go does", but ignore the number 1 feature is dishonest.
This is obviously a little tangential to (or sensational than) typical hn content - but I thought this video of high school students hatching a chicken without the egg was a fascinating example of both great science education, and plain amazing in and of itself. As the article mentions, the technique was published in 2014. I still find it a bit mind-boggling.

Easily one of the more interesting "easy" biology experiments I've seen.
It's called an example. Please do take it very seriously.
I may be wrong, but aren't you replying his quotes using a logic of a non poor human being? That's what I understood when reading your replies. The parent comment is meant to share the 'biases' that poor people have, their mindset, such as "Save less: because you can only save if you have money.".
> This is a conscious decision on their part from their learnings about abuse - it isn't accidental.

I also think it serves a very different purpose.

You're seeing them as something that could be the same in order to lower abuse, but I don't think that's true. Some of the things you say are bad about Twitter are actually things which make it a great public discussion tool.

They're different tools - they cater to different parts of the market. If you want to have a public discussion about something, because of Twitter's decisions here, you take it to Twitter, not Facebook.

All of these decisions are things that make Facebook a better tool for interacting with people who you know and Twitter a better tool for interacting with people that you don't.

They're completely different markets and both serve a purpose.

> That said, I think it's also an error state that these services attract a "different crowd". Human behavior is incredibly circumstance based - people will behave as the system encourages or discourages. I'm willing to bet that nearly everyone on Twitter is also on Facebook, but they act very differently on the two services. It's too simplistic to model abusive bad actors as inherently prone to abuse.

This is somewhat true, but I don't think that without Twitter there would be no popular public discussion-oriented service. I think it's a niche that needs to be filled. Despite the fact that that niche sometimes breeds hostility.

I feel fairly confident saying that Twitter wouldn't exist anymore if they tried to clone Facebook's protected and personal-style rather than paving their own more public style. Things like filtering who can see your messages and who can enter a discussion are just not things people want in a service which is oriented towards the public. You'll take those things to Facebook instead and they know that.

The abuse and hostility risk is simply an inherent part of being a very public-oriented service, the odds of an actual problem arising for any individual user are infinitesimally small. It's something people are willing to risk and get involved in sometimes. There may be some minor tweaks, but nothing that would inherently changed the way the platform is used as you're suggesting would allow them to continue their existence or to effectively serve the niche they're in currently.
awesome, that really helps!
The "board" screenshot looks suspiciously similar to Trello. I wonder how much they aped its design for this?

I guess you could call it a loophole, but this loophole is incredibly important for a free internet. Without it, there's no way for a public service that hosts user generated files to exist because people will use it for piracy.
Here's an awesome, well funded idea that didn't work - the AvroCar. A true flying saucer powered by three jet engines, it was built for the U.S. Army in 1959.
(Reposted, per request in HN email.)

But it didn't quite fly. It could hover, and move around like a hovercraft, but didn't have enough lift to get out of ground effect. It was also unstable. One of the prototypes was brought to NASA Ames in Silicon Valley (it wasn't called that yet) and spent a lot of time in the big wind tunnel. It turned out that, although there are some theoretical advantages to disk-shaped aircraft, the negatives outweigh the positives as the disk gets bigger.

Around the same time, the U.S. Army was testing the UH-1 Huey helicopter, which worked, carried more payload, and was far more useful. So they canned the AvroCar program and bought many thousands of Hueys. That was the end of military flying saucers.

(The National Archives has posted good, full-length high-resolution copies of the original films.[1][2][3] Short AvroCar clips have been around for years, but they'd usually been through broadcast TV or VHS, with heavy loss of detail. Amusingly, the earliest film was classified SECRET, the second one was marked OFFICIAL USE ONLY, and by the third one, there's no classification.)

"There will be further changes in the future, but nothing as radical as modules, classes and the different asynchronous-related features"

I expect huge changes. I foresee a future where each webpage is an almost empty <html/> tag that does little more than defining a grid that loads a big blob of WebAssembly that builds the actual 'page' (if you can still call it that by that time). One advantage would be that, say, a Python or Rust framework can run Python/Rust in the browser. Another 'advantage' would be that large companies could keep their front-end code more secret (WebAssembly obfuscates better than minifying does)
Your comment directs me to Google which directs me to The Pirate Bay which directs me to Host that contains illegal material.
> Why doesn't society tell people "keep to the right lane" or "signal your turns"?

It's funny, because I live in California, and I find myself wanting to yell these things a people all the time.
Of course you have the right to say you don't find it funny and don't think it's an appropriate way to introduce code, but put some subjective terms like "I feel" rather than "it is." One acknowledges personal preference, while the other implies an objective truth-claim without the possibility for disagreement.
That example doesn't really work - the BBC enforces geo-restrictions because it sells its content internationally, to those who do not pay the license fee. There isn't really a library equivalent of that.

Chatbots, Conversational Interfaces, and the Rise of Messaging Platforms
Based on the video on the page, looks like Microsoft Trello with Office 365 file sharing integration. More tools for basic project tracking... and I just can't wait to meet clients who will use this instead of (heavier) TFS/Visual Studio Online for the same purpose, complicating work of our teams even more (I work at an offshore software house). Duh.
That's a terrible plan, or at the least something you shouldn't post online.
The left opposition in Germany has actually recently run a bill in Parliament to establish a "Willy Brandt peace corps" next to our army. The line of thinking is that the army is well-regarded because of their development aid during foreign missions, and especially because of their help during domestic natural desasters. If that reputation went towards a peace corps instead, we would have an easier time arguing for less military spending.
>The second error message, on the other hand, proves that the first one is a lucky accident.

No, the second error message just shows that there's more options there so the error message is vague and not very helpful. The first one is not an accident, it is the standard type mismatch error.
Definitely. Other commenters are not wrong procedurally, that Google owns their servers blah blah. The worrying part is how people have been conditioned to use software designed around centralized and furthermore not-even-federated namespaces, and seem to actually enjoy the groupthink and marginalization it fosters.

As an aside, what a cringe:

> The extension was developed by a far-right group called alt-right.

Mintruth has to be a lot more competent with subtlety than that! I doubt this particular altar boy will go very far in our nouveau church.
I think you are referring to this type of law:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam

However, it is common in Sweden to respect unwritten laws and social conventions. Many neighbourhoods also have neighbourhood watch and such things. I haven't lived there for over ten years but I'd imagine not taking shortcuts through neighbourhoods with children would be a convention most swedes will respect.
You forget that a sugar tax is increasingly popular in progressive circles.

Gah, I hate this line of thinking. Buying healthy food and preparing it at your home is enormously cheaper than eating KFC 3 meals a day.

In the paper they state that they tried giving it more power than the version that played Sedol, but found that it had rapidly decreasing marginal value, so they decided on a level that was pretty close to optimal.

Well, isn't it what NIMBY is about?
So, they should close Starbucks because some people meet there and later discuss their shady business elsewhere?
>You're still free to quickly sketch out ideas without worrying about type checking,

That's a terrible work flow though. Quickly sketching out ideas is so much easier with types. So much so that you do that with just types, you don't even need to write the code. Then once you've worked your intuition into something that could actually work, you fill in the code.
As quoted, "Edens acknowledged the amount is "seemingly high" and the judgment "may seem extreme for the breach of contract for the purchase of a printer." But he wrote that he's constrained by how the Supreme Court had previously interpreted a state trial rule, called Rule 36, which sets the 30-day deadline for responding to requests for admissions."
ok - this is pretty amazing too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vga8FZzv5GE&list=PL0EpikNmjs...
I think I see your point. So in order for TPB to be considered out of compliance with the DMCA there would have to be a clause in the DMCA where it clearly states that magnet links to copyrighted material are not allowed?
The average American commute by car is about 12 miles. In the Washington DC area mentioned in the article, it's 9.1 miles.

As this particular moment, a bike ride from Takoma Park to downtown DC is 41 minutes, versus 35 minutes by car.
That doesn't work either. What happens, for example, if I sue you, you don't show up, I tell the judge you owe me a million dollars and show him a bill I printed on my computer that morning for a million dollars. You aren't there to tell the judge otherwise, so going on the "facts" I present doesn't solve the problem either.
I didn't say unfettered access, I said access. Unless there are specific, justifiable reasons, public things should be publicly accessible. i.e. you can't rifle through your mayors paper's or freely walk in prison, though many are sickeningly privately owned. You should, however, be able to use a public park. Would it be wrong to limit the use of a park to only the people within a block of it?

Look, my street is used as a through street and I hate it, but at the same time unless cars begin to consistently pose safety problems, there isn't much that can be done, and arguably should be done about it. Some go to fast, but on the whole most follow the posted limits . Even if they didn't, traffic calming measures would be more appropriate than cutting off access.

Once again, please state your opinions rationally instead of once sentence quips. Everything is a "fundamentally juvenile, silly idea" when summarized into a few words.
"Keep Right Except to Pass" is a pretty common sign.

And in at least some states you can be ticketed for improper lane use and failure to signal.

Ransomware is dope
This is easy with smaller items, but what if you wanted to sell a couch or a treadmill? In the past I thought it would be nice if there was a sort of consignment style store where people could park their Craigslist goods for people to come look at. I think this might go against Craigslists terms of service though... I am very apprehensive to have strangers over to my house, but I also don't know of a better way to sell these types of items without owning a large truck.
Is slack actually big enough now to be a platform?

Is it a B2B platform ?

While this is a nice "how to use Python" my mind tends to wonder back to the old days of "let's make a IRC bot to do X and ... Profit"

Just wondering if anything has really changed, (that was not a successful venture) even in a world of hubot and scrums X is something most people don't really need, for any value of X I can think of
Just try it.

Look at what is the output for the following code:

class Cat {
talk() {
console.log('meow');
}
}

It's something along the lines of:

var Cat = (function () {
function Cat() {
}
Cat.prototype.talk = function () {
console.log('meow');
};
return Cat;
}());

The methods in that output will be enumerable. They shouldn't be. The reason is (most likely) that the output for non-enumerable class members is TERRIBLE (try the same thing on babel's "Try it out" page), thus why Babel provides loose mode. Still, it's the kind of very subtle things that can bite you in the rear big time.

Then again, if you have good unit tests and move those over too, it won't be a problem I guess :) Also most likely not a problem if you use ES6 as the compile target.
it is true but both trello and this app is based on Kanban, which tons of other productivity tools like Jira implement so I guess it can't be blamed too much

This is true (I too have used it to download a distro from time to time), but it is simply not responsive to GP's point, which is that, unlike Google, TPB does not comply with DMCA takedown requests and is "setup explicitly for the purpose of finding pirated material."

When it comes to piracy, Google's situation is exactly opposite of TPB's: TPB is primarily designed to facilitate piracy, does not comply with DMCA takedown requests, and has incidental noninfringing uses. Google is not primarily designed to facilitate piracy, does comply with DMCA takedown requests, and only incidentally facilitates piracy.
