Sometimes it's better to turn off for usability reasons, and the browser doesn't have a clue about when that's the case. For example when the page has its own autocompleter, which has more information available to it than the browser does.

A good example is the branch-switching widget on Github's repo page. Browser autocomplete is a major pain in the ass when trying to use this widget. The page can load all the branch names itself, but your dumbass browser is "helpfully" autocompleting a bunch of branch names that probably don't even exist anymore, or exist in other repos. Gee, thanks soooo much.
It's already been done, you're just too vehemently guarding your non-point to admit it. IPO. If these ridiculously over-valued companies ever went public, as stated MANY times in this discussion, they would get REALISTIC VALUATIONS, and come crashing back to earth quick, fast, and in a hurry. Companies are actively SCARED to IPO now, as it almost always means lower valuations once they have to prove feasibility, rather than convince rich people dumber than they to pony up the money. So how about come up with a cogent argument or GTFO?

-Also, good things with money? One words. THERANOS.
I've generally had good luck with Rails just working as expected on Windows, as long as you install the Ruby DevKit. JRuby works well too, as long as you're not using any gems with C extensions.

As an alternative, I've run Rails apps using Docker, which also worked well.

If you haven't tried Cmder as a shell, I'd recommend it. You can run cmd, Powershell, and bash tabs in the same window and if you get the full Cmder install it comes with most of the Unix command line utilities you're used to.
The chances of that are probably lower than the chances of someone breaking into your house, and stealing the PC containing all of your DRM free games. Every case I've ever read into regarding this, had a lot more to the story than was being led on. Steam isn't going anywhere, the thing is a giant cash cow, and it's in their best interest to keep users active and making purchases.
That sounds like what they're doing.

In my opinion the new spec is overly-complicated and will probably not be followed by web developers, but on the other hand a binary "on"/"off" choice was way too blunt of an instrument. I don't know how the authors of the original autocomplete spec didn't see this coming.
There's a couple of Hack Reactor alum-dedicated groups (Slack, Facebook) and someone posted the article to the groups. Out of the however many thousand alum there currently are, a small handful are really active in engaging with people on those groups. I'm one of them.

I went to HR, finished the program last year, took a residency for three months, and then started my job search around August and landed in seven weeks. Like a lot of the people in that group, I'm very grateful for what Hack Reactor's done for me. Not downplaying how much of a grind my job search was or how much effort I put into it.

I think the outpour of support is in reaction to what was, in the Hack Reactor community's opinion, both a disagreement among points made in a critical post on someone's experience with the program and a response to some of the less thought out comments from people who didn't give it five minutes. Most (if not all) of them are incredibly grateful to the program for the doors it's unlocked for them. I get that it can come off as fanatical.

I recognize a lot of the accounts that you're alluding to. One of them belongs to one of my best friends from the program, they mainly lurk on HN. As for the accounts that are 1-2 days old, I'm utterly embarrassed they didn't feel HN was interesting enough to create an account prior.
Citation, as it says in the article:

"Two matched-filter searches used coincident observations between the two LIGO detectors from September 12, 2015 to January 19, 2016 to estimate the significance of GW151226. One of these searches was the off-line version of the online search discussed previously. The off-line searches benefit from improved calibration and refined data quality information not available to online searches."

True, yet they can be and are in a lot of cases "perceived" as victimless or atleast neglible victimhood. (For ex: read iceberg slim and you get the sense that for him the women were either better off with him(less poor) or just loved sex and drugs anyway they'd be prostitutes without him too.)

Which I guess/believe was the point OP was making.
i love autocomplete and i hate when the page tries to turn it off for no logical reason. I have an extension installed that forces autocomplete on for everything.
But that's what a heuristic is.
Does anyone know if the ECMAScript group is seriously considering adding something like TS? Maybe in ES8 or ES9? TS 2 will be impressive and it seems TS has a lot of momentum (such as Angular 2).

Things were different in the eighties. I think the precedent-setting anti-sampling lawsuits came about in the early nineties. The Beastie Boys album Paul's Boutique was famously built from hundreds of unlicensed samples, and was one of the last albums that could be made that way, because shortly thereafter it became necessary to license samples.
That certainly isn't a given. Not even close.

Okay, aside from what you think about being unable to just turn off autocomplete, those semantic tabs actually sound super useful, and i hadn't known about them.

> As an example, if you have an address input field in your CRM tool that you don't want Chrome to Autofill, you can give it semantic meaning that makes sense relative to what you're asking for: e.g. autocomplete="new-user-street-address".

Um, "new-user-street-address" does not appear in the list of recognized values from the WHATWG spec that was linked to above.

How do we find the list of values that Chrome actually recognizes and what they mean?

Am I missing it somewhere else? How does Chrome expect devs to use something completely un-doc'd?
The major and minor version of the types modules corresponds to the version of the underlying package; the patch version will increment when the type definition changes.

We're still figuring out what to do with scoped packages in this scheme. Most likely we'll end up with a single types package for everything under a specific scope, since that's what people seem to be using scoped packages for. They're pretty rare so far so this is kind of TBD.
'The semantic meaning' hack is bad for readability. You don't actually mean 'new-user-street-address' you mean 'do not autofill this input chrome.' The next developer in will assume the semantic meaning accomplishes something, and decorating your markup with things that may or may not do nothing seems is bad practice.
Agreed. Unless everyone starts developing in TypeScript then external types for JS files is always going to be a bit of pain and not quite where we'd like it to be.
ignoring standards worked for IE.
And, that's the routine setup. Some games require you to crack it using a separate application. Others require you to disable networking during the install process to make sure it doesn't phone home. Then others disallow multiplayer because it requires logging into the game servers, which authenticate for legit copies. The pirate group reroutes multiplayer servers to a pirate server to play.

And, this was like 5 years ago before I joined Steam. It was a convoluted mess.
> This is a very useful concept, because when you think like that about every action you take, you end up making much better decisions. You don’t take dumb risks, and you don’t miss great opportunities.

> In life, we need to make decisions under uncertainty. When you know your values, and take actions with maximum expected utility, you can take the optimal way towards achieving your goals.

Like all things statistics, it's true in the long run, over many trials.

But in many real life circumstances we don't get many trials.

Sometimes a better strategy is to disregard statistics because our sample size is small. Decision making is different when you can only make a small amount of spins.

I also think about the cost to reverse a decision that doesn't end well. As Jeff Bezos famously said (paraphrasing), it's not about the mistakes you make, but how you recover.

Some other aspects to consider are opportunity cost and diminishing marginal utility.
but then as soon as you try to write your first program you run headlong into the fact that programming is nothing like other tasks you have done before. The tricks you have to learn to make imperative programming work are not really any easier than the tricks for other paradigms.

There you go again, equating good and natural.

It seems like even functional decomposition can be unnatural for people even given the commonness of "one big loop" mega-functions as the solution created by a lot of contractors.

Certainly, the problems of mud ball and simple imperative programming styles is that they get harder as you go along.

Indeed, programming methodologies are more or less unnatural ways to program that allow programmers to be more productive and programs to scale in compensation for that unnaturalness.

Consider that mathematicians among the general public, pre-computers, were actually far more rare than functional programmers among programmers. Mathematics is also an unnatural construction. I grew having a great deal of difficulty with handwriting before computers appeared and I learned to love math shortcuts for the writing they saved me. But I also learned most people are more mentally lazy than physically lazy and on average would rather do more work than learn a new thing.
I'm a solo founder. When I started my current company, I first developed a prototype then tried looking for a co-founder shortly after. There weren't many options within my personal network (few risk takers or people with savings to burn). I expanded my search to those I didn't know, which meant going through essentially an interview process with potential candidates, but I couldn't find a match. I even had people do reversals and pitch me their ideas.

My feeling is that this kind of co-founder matchmaking is just plain hard. First, like they say it's similar to getting married. You really need to trust the person, which is why your personal network is the best source if you can pull it off (see PG talk about college buddies). Second, many people interested in entrepreneurship probably have their own ideas already.

I think non-technical founders have the best chance at recruiting technical founders than the other way around. The technical role is more straightforward (write code for the idea that the non-technical founder came up with), and potential technical recruits may be more wealthy on average.

If you're a technical founder, I'd say recruiting a "biz" person is a lot harder. Fortunately, you can just do everything on your own anyway (not that it'll be easy though!).
It's averaging in the sense of a long integration time. The signals of interest are glacial w/r/t speed of light, in the few Hz range, so you can integrate the optical signal over a longer period of time to improve SNR and beat shot noise.
" For example when the page has its own autocompleter"

Wouldn't that just override whatever values Chrome throws in there anyway? (If you're using JS.)
I prefer to use LastPass for password/form autocomplete, and disable the browser's autocomplete entirely.

This enhancement just encourages me to use Chrome less. It looks as though I'm in the minority here, however
Google's own Search field:

<input class="gsfi" id="lst-ib" maxlength="2048" name="q"
autocomplete="off" title="Suche" type="text" value="" aria
label="Suche" aria-haspopup="false" role="combobox" aria
autocomplete="both" dir="ltr" spellcheck="false"
style="border: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; height:
auto; width: 100%; position: absolute; z-index: 6; left:
0px; outline: none; background: ....

oh....

autocomplete="off" and autocomplete="both" really strange.
But how do we know what good automation is? It's easy to see terrible ops work, but it's hard to see amazing ops work. This leads many organizations to end up thinking that ops skill is about outage response. Guess what: The person that is best at fixing at outage is typically the one that caused it!

Imagine I have two people in an ops team: One writes a lot of new code, and ships a lot of buggy features, and quickly reacts to the problems. People get the impression that they are working on something hard, and they are grateful for all the hard work. Another one takes longer to ship, but the automation just works. Therefore, whatever he was doing was easy, and they are just slow at doing it.

So sadly, in most environments it pays off to actually have problems in your ops automation, for the visibility that you get by saving the day.
Would Youtube even exist if it had to have something like Content ID when it first launched? Its existence definitely took advantage of the relative lawlessness of the web back then. Don't see much difference between how Youtube established vs Uber/AirBnB as far as break shit and pay for it later goes.
Might be because it requires more complex database querying and/or is less cacheable.
Selections aren't entirely universal, which I think hurts a lot. I subscribe to Spotify and it's mostly great, but sometimes it just doesn't have something for no discernible reason. Usually I'm discovering music in the app so I never even notice, but every so often I want to listen to something specific and it's just not there. YouTube becomes my backup for that.

And specifically for "latest albums," they seem to do a delayed release a lot. I saw this recently with Clapton's I Still Do, but it shows up with many others too. Often they'll release a single track for streaming, and have a link to purchase the whole thing. And even now that they've made the album available for streaming, there's one track missing!

It's a bit frustrating to pay a subscription only to have it show me an advertisement to buy an album they refuse to stream. I'm less familiar with other services but it sounds like they're similar.

One trouble with the Steam analogy is that there's nothing for games like YouTube is for music. I can go from zero to listening to a particular piece of music in barely more time than it takes to type the name of the song. Pirating games takes a lot more work.
So can "specially crafted" gravity waves converge into a point of negative mass?
I don't know if I agree with the transformative justice ideas of the article, but it is a delight to read an excellent post by someone with very different values from my own. The article reveals the thought process, and why they believe in their system without exaggeration or polemics.

Most anarchist/socialist writings that get passed to me are bogged down in vocabulary specific to them, or have hidden assumptions that don't make sense to me, and difficult to understand. This piece was extraordinarily clear, and shows the advantages and disadvantages of their system. It certainly made me re-think my concept of justice. I would like to think mainstream society could learn a lot from the author.

> Parker thinks Patreon works for some artists — like those who have heavily cultivated their social media presence — but the major drawback is that artists are forced to spend more and more time creating exclusive content for the highest-paying patrons to continue receiving funding. As she elaborates:

> They start to get pissy when you make art they don’t want. Like they have a right to be involved in your life.

Yes, how positively odd that after giving you lots of money, they want something specific in return.

> Friendster seemed lucrative, so why not try something similar in Myspace? Facebook? Snapchat? They’re all variations on a theme.

I've noticed this attitude is widespread among marxists: glossing over differences between businesses, or the products they offer. To a marxist, as long as the high-level descriptions of two products are similar, the products are functionally equivalent. That Myspace got crushed because its UX was basically a dumpster fire means nothing to them, they just seem to view one company winning over the other as the whims of unknowable capitalist machinations.

They view business as a whole as essentially a big black box. This is not because they are stupid, but rather because, to borrow a phrasing from Upton Sinclair, it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his ideology depends upon his not understanding it.

The continued success of Reddit (basically wiping out flat by default web forums) and the fact that Facebook has at some point between then and now introduced threading seem to prove it isn't too complex for most users. Only the old vBulletin pagination + threading model was.
I'm not kidding. I am saying there are tradeoffs between suburban living and urban living. You give up a yard in the city. It is more expensive for far less space. However…

- I have Fishing, a Steakhouse, McDonalds, several seafood places better than Red Lobster within a 10-15 minute walk in NYC. Up until a few years ago, had horseback riding as well.

- If you expand this to a 10-15 minute subway ride, the selection gets insane.

So, no, you do not get access to more things in the suburbs, not by a lot. But as you said - you are closer to outdoorsy activities, have a yard, pay less.

These are the tradeoffs.
Indispensable != better at their job.

If someone you work with gets hit by a bus tomorrow, can you still ssh into the server? Can you continue working with the code they wrote?

I radically disagree.

Most piracy is not a service issue. Most piracy is a greed issue. Yes, there are region locks. Yes, not all content is available to all people. Yes, purchased content may only be usable on certain devices. Yes, we could list edge cases for hours.

But most content is available to most people in a way that has never been easier or faster to access in the history of time. It just costs a little bit of money.

Do you realize how incredibly easy iTunes is? I can purchase and start playing almost any TV show or movie ever made in approximately 5 mouse clicks and 15 seconds. (Yes, if you don't live in the US it may not be available. I covered that already. Thanks.) It's insane how easy it is.

It's impossible to compete with truly free. Netflix can offer a good deal thanks to copyright laws. Were it not for such laws piracy sites would be of such high quality that no paid service could possibly compete.

If you had a credit card with infinite money the paid would be pretty god damned good. Better than piracy. The single biggest advantage piracy has, by far, is it doesn't cost money. That's a pretty damned big advantage.

I think service is a piracy solution. But the problem is greed. Old fashioned, simple greed.

I expect downvotes. But this is my opinion. I hope you don't downvote simply because you disagree.

It's not for the developer to decide any more than the browser. It's up to the user.
It's only for Hacker News, but Colin Parcival daily posts the top 10 HN posts on http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/. It lacks your feature to show the top posts on a weekly or monthly level (and more sources), which are cool features. (I'm not a big fan of the UI style thought.)

Then there's also "hckr news", https://hckrnews.com/, which shows the top 10 or top 20 per day, or the top 50% of every six hours. But also that one is just for Hacker News.

The one thing that I really wish GraphHopper could add (though I doubt they will, because there's no open sources of data for it) is routing via traffic information - both a) routing around traffic jams and b) giving an ETA based on current conditions instead of optimal ones.
You are correct. Perhaps this is OT, but I have 100% respect for youtube as a useful service that I use every day even if its due to something illegal. In contrast, I have very little respect for any artist that bites their style wholesale from another artist esp if they have a successful career from it...even if it is legal to do so.
That's also a token effort.

While many clips were affected by this, you can still (and could always) find almost anything, uploaded pirated, on the first try -- from songs and shows to whole movies. The main exception is for 1-2 very vigilant artists (e.g. can't easily find non-officially uploaded Dylan tracks that are not bootlegs).
This looks interesting. I've been searching for a modern book which explains the algorithms behind many of the building blocks of modern distributed software such as zookeeper, consul, etcd, mesos, etc.
