I agree, this seems like a very unhelpful low-effort post. "Want to get users to use your apps? Put ads for your apps in your other apps!" is basically it. As well as putting all your apps on the same developer account (seems like that's the norm though right). It basically boils down to "Get people to use your apps and then you can get people to use another one of your apps! Simple!"
Well not quite. At least not those in the EU. It used to be like that in the 90s, but for locals, not for foreigners.
You'd have to go a long way from the San Francisco Bay to be a safe distance away from the fault line, which would have a dramatic impact on the costs of operating the port - it'd add hundreds of miles to the distance you'd need to move the goods off the ships to where they were needed. Factoring that additional cost in over the decades between earthquakes (SF burned down quite regularly prior to 1906), I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually cheaper to rebuild the city occasionally.

Hi! Take a look at libFuzzerfication project at https://github.com/ouspg/libfuzzerfication

LibFuzzerfication project uses libFuzzer for fuzzing popular applications and libraries.

There are already some test stubs and mysamplelib stub is very good for learning purposes.
The chip is 50% bigger (12bn transistors vs. 8bn), I assume (there's no details on the card yet) the additional budget went into things like caches to give the cores an additional performance boost.

I've just taken it for granted alcohol and breathing in small particles causes all types of cancer?

It doesn't. Alcohol and small particles do not 'cause all types of cancer'.

Doesn't everyone know this?

Obviously not, since we hadn't done the required research and analysis before. Now that we have, we have more confidence and detail on what is actually happening.

But alcohol, I'd have thought a given. People don't know it gives you cancer?

They do, generally, and the numbers are quoted in the study. There is now more detail on what people's knowledge is.

That said, it's a propaganda piece,

Why is this a propaganda piece? It's an article about some peer-reviewed research.

Chinatown Report: 8 Extraordinary Chinese Teas You Don’t Know but Should
Might as well throw my own ideas out:

1. Near the surface of a black hole, spacial dimensions become time-like, and the time dimension becomes space-like. If our universe started as a singularity, then our time dimension may be the squashed higher spacial dimension of some higher order universe.

2. Black holes supposedly can have electric charge. If the space around a black hole is distorted as described in 1., the electric charge would appear to the rest of the universe as a magnetic monopole. Black holes are magnetic monopoles.

Former Dell XPS 13 Sputnik (9333 model) user checking in.

A decent dev machine for $2K-ish, save for a major flaw: "coil whine"[1]. Very annoying when working in silent environments. Frustratingly random as well - for me, backlight on/off, usb connect/disconnect and scrolling on browsers would change the whine frequency noticably. [2]

It is possible that you can hear something similar from your MBP - however it is very unlikely that this has anything to do with any of the radios.

> What's cheaper, rebuilding a damaged city every 100 years or so?

I wonder whether this is actually expensive, compared to the job gravitational opportunity. Surely landlords of the skyscrapers downtown have included the risk in their financial plans. Home owners will support the greatest cost, but once again, they would have much less if they didn't live in SF. Health costs may already be included in your insurances. The federal government may help a bit. The rest of the people may go bankrupt, but there are many homeless people who were former researchers already, so it's renewing the workforce (the wrong way). It's extremely cynical, but city planners aren't the most compelled to act.

I personally wouldn't go live in Vancouver for that reason, I don't go to conferences in USA because of the TSA, and I'll never do tourism in Japan because their conviction rate is 98%. One needs to include the risks in their life calculations.

It essentially comes down to whether you assume that the probability of an earthquake every subsequent year is independent of the result in previous years. The notion of tectonic pressure build-up suggests that that assumption isn't true.

The author has a reasonable idea in applying survival analysis to estimate the probability without making any assumptions about the underlying model.

This is fear mongering. The tectonic structure of the SA fault means that the upper bound for magnitude is limited, and building codes are really good.

Up in Portland and Seattle, the risk for high numbers of causalties is far greater due to the subduction fault rather than the transverse fault.

Sorry I'm late to this, but I'm a big AWK fan, I use it daily and have done so for years. For sysadmin things its great for doing data manipulation in shell scripts.

I get that Awkward is a shell, and I can see the use. But it seems very clunky to use.

This AWK script was posted in this thread

ps | awk 'NR>1{ print $1, $4}'

It takes the output of the PS command, tosses the header away and then prints the value of the first and fourth fields out. This data can be piped to other programs for additional processing.

The NR>1 idiom is pretty well known after you look at a few example scripts that use it. To replicate the scrip that the Awkward video uses, it's just

ps | awk '{ print $1, $4}'

It's shorter than the Awkward example. I think it's simple, for every line you get from PS print the first set of text and the fourth set of text. Not sure what Awkward would need to do to skip the header.

@erikrothoff makes a point about whats the value in knowing AWK over JS. I'd like to think that it gives you a powerful portable tool that can be used as either a stand alone application or as part of a shell script. If you are a Windows user, then it's not going to fit as well, but if you are a Unix/Linux/OS X user, it's a worthy tool to add to your arsenal.

The syntax may be "some of the least intuitive code" but investing about 20 minutes can fix that. There are lots of tutorials that can give you a quick leg up. There are also a few "one line AWK scripts" collections that are good samples.

One of the most powerful things about AWK is the ability to use regular expressions to see if you want to process the record. The ability to go through a file, pluck out the record(s) and process them is very nice.

ps | awk '/astro/ {print $1, $4}'

will give me any user that has astro in it. Not sure how that would work in Awkward. The use of regular expressions like this is what makes AWK a go to language for text processing.

Not here to add to the AWK vs Javascript debate, but wanted to add AWK is a powerful tool, having it in your toolbox is a good thing.

> Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it

In cities, everyone needs their car at exactly the same time, that's why we have congestions. When I'm not using my car, no one else needs one (that's an exaggeration of course but not by much).

So in order to get to sustainability, we need to understand why remote working (for instance) hasn't happened yet.

It depends on the codebase.

Open source projects are probably a bad example, as they tend to be well (or at least decently) written: code has cohesion and is organised in a rational way, so that you can usually find pretty quickly the piece you are looking for, and you can often just change the functionality you are interested in without examining every single file.

Other codebases, like the ones that you may find in your typical enterprise environment, have ofter much less cohesion, so that they require shotgun surgery, and behaviour is also spread throughout the codebase randomly. If this is the case, you'll be forced to look at more code, figure out the relationship between pieces and maybe proceed by trial and error.

This is not a rule, as of course there are lots and lots of private enterprise codebases well written, but I haven't seen a lot of them to date.

Brazil wants Facebook (WhatsApp) to release information it doesn't have -- it's not clear to me what data exactly, but presumably message content which they historically did not store and now, due to e2e encryption, cannot store; or maybe message metadata which I'm not sure they store (does anybody know?).

This is about data Facebook, like most web sites, does store (site access logs including IPs). Though I wonder how long they store these kind of logs; different jurisdictions may have both minimum retention times as well as maximum retention times for personal data such as IPs.

Think about it. There's an electronic system in place. So he's registered as a passenger and border control police closed their eyes on his visa. But system will generate a notification and this notification will cause an investigation: why exactly is border control police didn't do their job properly? Did they took a bribe? They'll have to fill a lot of papers just to stay in their work and it's possible that they will be fired anyway.

They have clear instructions so they must follow them. If they don't follow the instructions, they might get in trouble, because there are other people who control them. So they did what they have to do.

On the other side, court made a right decision and let him go without any penalties, because court have the authority to make those decisions.

So overall I'm proud of Kazakhstan officials and I think that they did their jobs properly (except for a bribe episode, it's a real shame).
The numbers on the keypad appear in a random order so you’re touching different parts of the screen each time, even though you’re entering the same code.
I'm less convinced that world class city inherently means "not owning a car is the norm and isn't really a compromise." That seems to give a lot of weight to what's ultimately your personal preference.

But, yes, if that's the definition, only New York (Manhattan in particular) really qualifies in the US. You can get away with it in other US cities but it tends to depend on stage in life, income, specific situation with respect to job etc., recreational activities, and how much hassle you're willing to put up with.

That said, living in Manhattan is a very specific lifestyle choice that isn't for everyone. I like visiting it now and then but the summer I worked there was enough.

If you want to point out the kind of value professional managers bring to the table, please do so. Such an approach, in my opinion, makes the debate productive and moves the discussion forward.

I feel "professional" managers are bad for tech companies. Here are two reasons :

1. A lot of management techniques that are taught in business schools apply to traditional manufacturing based businesses. A lot of these underlying assumptions are invalid in the tech businesses.

2. Tech businesses require a deep understanding of what is possible with the current state of the art. This is requires a deep understanding of technology so that when there are fundamental changes to the landscape (which happens more frequently in tech) the company can adapt and stay relevant.

I think you need to approach specific users (like forum moderators or reviewers of similar app) and share your app details. If they like they will respond to your app otherwise not.
And also promoting in app specific places is good. For ex, xda, reddit's android subreddit where app can get noticed more quickly than posting it HN, where users have different interests.

Few days back, I posted a new app (that allows you to run mobile apps from sdcard.) which gained more comments and feedback on android specific subreddit more than HN.
So narrow down to specific group or even individuals is one of the option.
Well that makes 2, possible 3, of us - thanks for your comment.
The official reason destructors are discouraged from throwing exceptions is that one reason destructors get called is that something already threw an exception, and there is currently no way to handle two exceptions in flight at once, so in that case the process gets killed.

It's also true that with more experience, we've figured out that cleanup code is special. When I throw an exception during normal processing, I want to abandon what I'm doing. But if I discover that one step of a destructor cannot be completed, I do not want to abandon the rest of the cleanup. If I throw an exception in a destructor, I can't come back later to finish any remaining steps.

And, as I asked earlier, if I throw an exception because I can't close a file, what do I expect the exception handler to do? I guess it could try closing the file again, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that working. Perhaps the file is on a network share and the network's gone down. Perhaps closing the file will involve writing some cached data to disk, but the disk is full. In my experience, in this case your only real options are "ignore it, either because there's nothing you can do or because you're already dealing with an exception and you've simply discovered another symptom of the original problem" or "kill the program because there is no hope." You can log the fact that a step failed, but remember that it's possible for logging to fail, if the disk is full.
