I'm with you there. I can't help feeling babied when I visit most websites these days, for more reasons than simply the commonplace (over)use of web fonts.
From looking through the source (mind you, I don't code in Rust, so I might be totally wrong) it looks like they used the serde crate for some stuff but mostly rolled out their own.

Telegram Bot for HN?
How about telegram bot for HN ? I searched in telegram didn't find it.. Is HN provides some API's to access Top stories, New etc ?.. I never visit Techcrunch, engadget, reddit sit for updates. All the stories link and Title of the stories I get in telegram only. I click when It's get interesting.

Serverless computing seems to just be reinventing hosted CGI. Is this not just a trade of Perl and php for Python and JavaScript?
Exactly. Forcing supply below demand through zoning restrictions does help, but once speculation begins this hurts supply also.

It amazes me on HN where on most other complex behavioural problems if someone came along and shouted "it's because of X" they would be laughed out to cries of "it's more complicated than just one thing".

Yet when it comes to millions of people with varying priorities interacting with government and the banks anyone who comes up with anything more complex than "it's supply and demand" is told "no, I've done econ 101 thank you".

Hacker news can't be bothered with Georgism, they've done econ 101 syllabus (provided by their establishment).

I think of that as a good communication style.

The more concise you can be, the more likely you are to hold someone's attention.
We can afford a t2.medium or an m3.medium at the price he quoted, which will have better RAM, processing capability, and probably equivalent networking capability, so that isn't really the takeaway point.
I was interested until he said "npm".
The idea is really still the same, just the naming and structure changed a little bit. I'm not sure why he labeled it a farewell since the core concept is the same.

Either way, it's not like it changes every day - it just hasn't left beta yet. This change is definitely for the better, and its usually good to make big, beneficial changes as soon as possible rather than waiting for a 2.0 release.

How We Replaced React with Phoenix
That was the road scenario. I had brake lights and only had been stopped for 30 seconds or so. I am pretty cautious as well and happened to look back a little and saw them just in time. It was a SUV also so that could have been very bad.
I'm sorry but you're mistaken. 60 police officers have been killed this year already, and we're only halfway through. For many tragic reasons, the crime rate is disproportionately high in the black community, including the killing of police officers. This means that unfortunately, police have to resort to lethal force more often when confronting black people than other groups. (But don't forget that, in absolute numbers, more white people are killed by police than black people). When police officers have their life threatened, they are totally justified in using legal force.

Reaching for your gun while you're resisting arrest is ample justification for the police to shoot you.

Where there's mistakes, they should be investigated. If the evidence shows that police acted unlawfully, then they should be charged with crimes. But painting these broad strokes is dishonest and divisive. It's given rise to the false myth that police are hunting down black men en masse.

This myth has consequences. If I believed that police were hunting me and my family down due to the color of my skin, I might take some drastic actions too, and feel justified in them. But it's not true for me and it's not true for black people in America either. The vast majority of police officers who have to use deadly force in the line of duty act lawfully in defense of their lives or the lives of others.

No one argues that police are racist against whites because Asians are much less likely to be killed by cops.

In my experience, the majority of people who interview at the big tech companies don't get offers. It's not even necessarily because the interviewee made any mistakes, just for whatever reason many companies like that are super picky because they can afford to be.

You shouldn't feel bad about it at all, but I know the feeling- it sucks, especially if you really got your hopes up. However, the fact that you got those interviews reflects very well on you, and the fact that you didn't get the jobs does not reflect poorly on you.

Just going through the interview process is a really useful learning experience. It builds confidence for future interviews and gives you a feel for how you might want to further develop your professional and/or interpersonal skills.

Sometimes job-seekers get lucky and get an offer right away. Sometimes people interview at 10-20 different companies before it works out. All you can do is not take it personally, learn what you can from each experience, and keep trying. If you keep trying you are guaranteed to eventually succeed (well, on an infinite timescale :), but if you give up you are guaranteed to fail immediately. Good luck!

Other countries have excellent small-scale beer producers too. But some of them also have quite good mass-produced beers too, which is my entire point.

There's actually a very large collection of Saturn games archives at archive.org. They're MESS compatible CHD files (I wish other emulators would support it, it's a good way to handle large drive copies), but it's a fairly good collection.

The Birthday Paradox
I don't have much to add but "complete losers" don't get invited to Google's and Amazon's campuses, nor do they get several hours (at the least) of top talent devoted to finding and interviewing them.

But that perspective is hard to see right after being rejected. The worst thing you can do is let that drag you down into a self-fulfilling prophecy, unable to meet the plenty of opportunities that will come your way.
Other than central banks (and index funds....), who would want a negative interest rate bond? And when the rest of the world is going negative why would the the fed raise rates here at home? And why on earth are governments everywhere not taking advantage of these wildly low rates to invest heavily in infrastructure and stimulus?

This is a totally surreal environment, unprecedented.

- Negotiation : I am finding that for a given "level" (SD1,E3 etc...) the wiggle room for negotiation is not that high, i have never been able to negotiate more than 5% more on the base salary.It might be because i usually get a competitive first offer, but there is no way to verify that

-Job fit : good to know; I do know a friend who seems to get pretty high salary compared to his experience and domain. I kinda assume that the fact that he was very active in conferences and blogging was the root cause

-Company : Very true, the delta between companies is almost unreal...

- Competing offer : agree, the only advice i give to my friend is to bundle their interview into the same two week, not only allows you to amortized you study time across multiple interviews, but having a "competing offer" from a respected company is gold.
Well I assume they integrate with pocket. Good enough reason to mention it I'd say.

For Theano sure, but maybe for someone else it could be worth a try. I think the draw was less how much blood needed to be drawn and more how invasive the needle is. You can always hide the blood from view if necessary.
I think gas stations will gradually turn into something else. Already in Australia the serious ones are developing beyond just car refuelling.
In many major areas there are only one or two refineries anyways - it all comes from the same place and is rebranded. Sometimes with a tiny percentage of some special fuel additive poured in when they fill the gas station's tanks. For example in western WA there is Cherry Point or Anacortes. ARCO gas comes from the same place that refines petrol and diesel for 5 other major brands in the area.
Yes. In general there are two real paths to long-term archival of games: emulation and reproduction.

Emulation is the best possible path IMHO since it enables the games to be played (and experienced) on pretty much any hardware. I think this work may do quite a bit to help in that area, there's really no reason the Saturn isn't nearly perfectly emulated these days.

Reproduction is the next best and much harder than Emulation. Basically figuring out how to build the hardware again. There's several versions of this with much older hardware (C64, 2600, etc.) with new hardware being produced that can run the old software natively. There's also "lesser" versions that use modern CPUs, etc. to run the code basically also in emulation, but this is not the same thing. However, reproduction is both technically more difficult and has a smaller audience who's willing to add yet another machine to their collection to see old games.

also, MESS's emulation is also not too terrible, I was pretty surprised with how many games worked under it
Ask HN: Moving overseas to a 250kb/s connection, any life hacks?
I do freelance software engineering, and my wife accepted a job with the US State Department overseas in a country with low bandwidth/flaky internet (the power goes off frequently too). Fortunately the bulk of my work is coding which can be done offline. However, I still maintain web servers, use GitHub, Slack and email for communication on projects.

Any hacks for low bandwidth/flaky internet? I'm wondering about tools to heavily cache webpages, maybe setting up a proxy or VPN that does server-side compression? Anyone have experience dealing with this?

Update from Niantic in this Game Informer article
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2016/07/11/pokemo...

"We recently discovered that the Pokémon GO account creation process on iOS erroneously requests full access permission for the user’s Google account. However, Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected. Once we became aware of this error, we began working on a client-side fix to request permission for only basic Google profile information, in line with the data that we actually access. Google has verified that no other information has been received or accessed by Pokémon GO or Niantic. Google will soon reduce Pokémon GO’s permission to only the basic profile data that Pokémon GO needs, and users do not need to take any actions themselves."

For comparing the danger of jobs, shouldn't the metric be odds of dying in a year, not odds of dying per encounter?

Police officers will tend to have more encounters per year than the average person, so even if the odds of the office dying in a typical encounter or lower than the odds of the non-officer dying, the officer could have a much higher chance of dying over the course of a year just from having more encounters.

One one hand, the analogy is imperfect with billiard balls precisely because they are big collections of particles, not actual particles. It might help to imagine instead a collision of, say helium atoms.

On the other hand, if you see a "video" of two warm, vibrating billiard balls colliding, which then cool off and stop vibrating, it's still only a good guess that the video is in reverse. It's only highly improbable that the motion of the atoms in the billiard ball, air, table, etc cancel out to produce more order, not impossible. That improbability, AFAICT, is the linchpin of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

> Care to qualify that assertion?

The most recent example I can think of is you posting about containers on GNU/Linux[1], claiming that they were implemented primarily using cgroups (and that the main purpose was resource restrictions). That is not true, and hasn't been true for a long time (if ever). Yes, the very first upstream "container" primitive was cgroups -- but that was very quickly replaced with namespaces and cgroups took on the resource restriction role. What most people call "containers" was always about virtualization (ie isolation), and the isolation primitive in the Linux kernel is namespaces.

There are almost certainly more examples, but I don't feel like going through any more of your comment history at the moment.

> And yes, some or the problems GNU/Linux is hitting today have been solved on Solaris more than ten, others more than twenty years ago.

Believe it or not, but constraints have changed in the past 20 years. I'm not saying that illumos doesn't have awesome technology (it does), but it is not a panacea. I get it, you're an advocate for alternative free operating systems. Good for you. Solaris does have a 25 year headstart -- on solving problems 25 years old. Modern computing has many more problems that weren't even concieved 25 years ago (cloud and distributed computing being the main ones, as well as embedded devices which is something that Solaris can't put a candle to GNU/Linux on). So it's very dismissive to claim that Solaris has solved all problems that may face GNU/Linux. Both operating systems have problems they need to fix.

> and it has professional kernel engineers working on the code base

So does Linux, I'm missing your point here.

Finsight (New York)
www.finsight.com

About Us: 3-year old NYC-based enterprise fintech startup. We create web-based tools that help investment banks use data to automate workflows and sell fixed income and equity securities.
You can very loosely think of us as an Angelist for institutional investors. Every month, $10-20 billion of financings are exclusively marketed through our platform (Angelist did $150 million in 2015). We work with all the leading bulge bracket investment banks (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citi, JPM, Barclays, etc) and hundreds of the nations leading corporations like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ford, Hyundai, etc.
We are bootstrapped and profitable and believe we are in a very unique position to significantly impact an extremely valuable segment of Wall Street (new issue offerings).

What We're Looking For: Full stack is ideal but we are flexible. Most important for us is someone who enjoys coding and is self-organized. We are a very lean team and need a lot of help - we don't have bandwidth to do a lot of hand holding so we need people excited about taking ownership over their work. We have great clients who are supportive and we have a roadmap that can easily get us into 2017. We know what we need to do, need help doing it...

Stack: Front-end: angular and express Backend: laravel, php, node.js Database: MYSQL Deployments: chef and docker
Interview Process: 1. Resume screen 2. Phone screen with hiring manager 3. Onsite interview with team (expect some technicals) 4. Done.
