If you read the linked post, it explains how you need to connect GitHub to your Epic Games account to see the repo if you see the 404 error. (I didn't know this sort of thing was a GitHub feature, so it was interesting to me. I initially made the same mistake.)
As mentioned in the post, you need to register for the repository. Steps are below:

"If you see a 404 page, you need to complete the enrollment process:
Create a GitHub account.

Sign up for the Epic program

Follow the instructions to associate your Epic Program account with your GitHub account.

Join the Epic GitHub Org (from the email invitation you receive after Step 3)"
My reaction to "differing use cases lend to different tools" was that tools and especially languages often accommodate multiple, sometimes contradictory use cases.

I am not writing code that thousands of other engineers are going to depend on. A company that requires this can enforce methodological rules. Go is supposed to be used in different contexts, not just Google, right?
As a person who handles mail for a living I can assure you a typewritten letter, or should I say envelope, is a sure-fire way to have somebody open the letter.

I once used a typewriter to ask a large Ranch technological Training Company company if they had any scholarships for old-time programmers ( I was one) who were out of the game for a decade or so.

I was told my letter was passed around like a novelty and - yes I did receive the scholarship and was able to learn iOS 4. (And learn about HN)

They're actually most often used as a quick way for people to support a site. I've seen it at every company I've worked for - they're easily the most common way that our site is distributed socially.
Makes me wonder if it will ever be a fashion statement to have a titanium plate attached to some easily accessible bone which has a detailed history of your life to that point on it.

And that's not necessarily a bad exercise.

Quick off-the-cuff bits (like this comment), or things I've been thinking about for a long time, can just spill out. It's the ideas I'm still putting together which I've got to struggle with most, often with extensive notes, outlines, and graphs to organise them.

It's a joy for me to see other writers who've clearly distilled their argument. Rare, too. It takes talent, clarity of thought, and organisation.

The school of writing advice that this is just words and you've got to keep them flowing strikes me as quite flawed.

I have seen that price for research papers with single digit page count.
While I'm a big fan and owner of 3+ mechanical keyboards, the force required to type out highly legible letters on a typewriter is not comparable with any keyboard.

It's not even in the same ballpark. Especially if your "ink tape" or whatever it's called isn't new, you really have to bang on the keys to get them to show up, not to mention the action lever to go to a new line.

I believe the word you're looking for here is "neon". A bright green.

I see some things that people identify as orange as more yellow.

I am certain is has to do with all cones not being equal. You may have a cone that is more sensitive to a wider or narrow range; or one that has a peak sensitivity to a slightly different wavelength than the norm; or both.

That's easy. Instagram is a cooler brand among the same demographic that is crazy about snapchat.
Individual landlords don't see (real) rent increases for apartments are all subject to rent control. They only get an incremental adjustment for inflation. If a landlord owns an apartment but it is occupied by a tenant under rent control, it doesn't matter if the property is "worth" 10x as much. His rent collected hasn't gone up, and he can't sell it for 10x as much because that tenant has very strong legal protections around his use of the property at its price. In that case, 90% of the property's annual returns is being enjoyed by the tenant for as long as he stays there. (He may be able to realize a gain after the tenant moves away or dies, but he's still lost out on the decades of rent which he would have been able to get at market rates.)

Considering that any landlord buying a property will certainly be on the hook for the downside in a property if the housing market crashed, and you'll see that this isn't the greatest. (BUT THE HOUSING MARKET ONLY GOES UP AND WILL NEVER CRASH hahahahahaha yeah right).

Anyway. In general one needn't shed a tear for landlords and capitalists of their ilk for failure to make a profit: the money is its own reward. But we do need to respect the money (because that is the reward), the precise behaviors we are incentivizing, and the impact of political risk which we are inflict upon the people we might want to spend money investing in the region. For instance: making things like this risky means that risk-tolerant entities are likely to be involved (which means the rich guys, speculators and businesses that San Francisco loves, not individual homeowners). And the price of the landlord assuming any political risk will find itself baked into the price of any new rental property.

But as I was saying: it's kinda moot from a median-apartment-price perspective if nothing new gets built anyway for other reasons.

This is cynical, and arguably (probably) a net negative, but in nearly all cases, intrusive stuff like lightboxes, modals, and exit intent stuff works. It increases time on site, conversions, whatever metric you want to measure.
I definitely don't use Firefox except when testing how our website looks in Firefox.

But it's not because of laggy behavior. Come to think of it, it's because Firefox just feels... weird and unnatural, compared to Chrome or even Edge.
Thank you, this is very useful information.

That's pretty quick actually, didn't expect that they'd be so fast.

Edit: I'd be pretty interested if other developers could share their experience with the approval process too.
Considering Instagram was founded on ruining pictures with crappy filters, I doubt HD photos are anywhere on their radar.

The sentiment expressed in your comment, the belief that racial and gender issues are unimportant or nonexistent, is exactly one of the shared values that defines the HN in-group.
More reason to treat information as a public good and decouple access from payment.

Universal content syndication, broadband tax, universal income. Something.
This feature already exists and you don't need a button for it. It's part of HTML metadata, specifically the <link rel="shortlink"> tag.

You could either provide some sort of button to your browser to place this into the clipboard, or use an extension like pentadactyl to add a keyboard shortcut for it. (It's simply “y” by default - so copying URLs works like yanking in vim)

In my opinion, there is no ethical question to answer regarding general content I receive via an HTTP request. There's no expectation on my part other than the server provide me a valid response, which I will make use of as I choose (within the law, of course).

The technology to implement a paywall is well established, and while it may be annoying to have wasted time making the request, I'd simply learn to ignore certain domains. If that becomes unmanageable, I'd look for, or write, something to filter the blacklisted domains.

I already do this for forbes.com and Wired, among a few others, and my life is not measurably poorer as a result. It's a slight annoyance that Google, for example, returns these sites in my search results. Perhaps I should campaign the major search engines to implement custom filters for me.

Really, I don't care much if the current ad-fueled ecosystem of adutorial content and click-bait thrives on the Internet, as long as I don't have to see it.
>One involves "green" status LEDs on electronics, which seem more in common with yellow than green to me.

Almost all "green" LEDs emit at a wavelength of 565nm, which is almost equidistant [1] between green and yellow. Most "green" LEDs are thus green solely by convention, and seeing them as greenish yellow (or yellowish green) isn't unusual at all, because that's the color they actually emit. You can find green LEDs that actually are green, but they're relatively uncommon, and tend to be costly unless you order in bulk direct from a manufacturer.

iPhone has a computer in it, but it is not a general purpose computer. Why is this concept so hard to get? There are tons of things that have CPUs and billions of lines of code to run them, but they are not personal computers.
Or even if it's not random: Start with the exercises. I've found great success through a "problems-first" approach, and that's been my default since I was a child. Anytime I diverge from it I find notably worse results.

Maybe people have different learning styles but this is the only way I really learn well.

Huh? The overlap is probably one of the largest of any social networks. Simply take a look at the sheer volume of Instagram's that are obviously touched up Snaps.

First Steve and Second Steve were the same person. And he was always about the money, for as long as he'd been involved with Apple. Otherwise he wouldn't have had the Macintosh require a special case-cracking tool made only available to authorized dealers and repair shops to open.

Engineering the Tests that Matter – a short reflection on test engineering
I always understood it as RGB being additive -- each color directly stimulates a given color cone in the eye. Whereas process colors (CMYK) are subtractive, because they are a tint. White light hits the paper, but each color (Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow) takes out a certain RGB color leaving the remaining two colors to reflect off the paper. For example, Cyan is a filter for Red, leaving Green and Blue to reflect.
Instagram also cloned Vine and the responses were pretty similar if I remember correctly.

Right, I probably meant RBY not RGY; I wrote from memory, and meant the one most commonly taught in primary schools in Europe.
No worries — I don't blame you personally. FWIW, I loved the article.

But it does sadden me to see the once-promising Web turned into what it has.
Along this point, I feel the 'medium' preset's removal of the logos is odd as it's not typically done. I'd rather see the medium preset be '[logo] Twitter' instead.
You can easily just use a unique identifier that already exists - your teeth, then just a database somewhere that uses that as its key. Provided the service is around in 3,000 years.

But - I dunno. People don't often get buried these days, and those who do, often are dug up and burned once the lease on the grave site is up.
Puff piece. Despite "twitter" being in the title, the article doesn't discuss twitter. The title's use of the word "how" also suggested i might read something about the technology involved, something like a backdoor in the twitter api. Nope. No discussion whatsoever about the hows. In short: Governments use spyware. Thank you Washington post for that important public service announcement.
> Have we reached the point where everyone is completely sick of another way to "share", update, and post every moment of our lives.

Obviously, no. Snapchat's rise is all the proof you need.
Yes, exactly: HN is optimizing for something other than the usual, easily measurable metrics of "success." Well put.
> more importantly it's more comfortable since there's less movement involved

This is far more important for me. Even typing a couple of words on Qwerty feels uncomfortable.

Assuming your keyboard is Qwerty, try typing

"feels uncomfortable"
"yddp; flismysokanpd"

The second line is the keys you'd type if your layout was Dvorak. Notice only two letters are on the bottom row, and the top→bottom pair is an unusual letter combination (MF) rather than very common ones (UN, OM). The hand alternation is also more even, with at most two letters typed on the same hand, compared to Qwerty's four:

"LLLRL RRLRRLRLLLLRL"
"RLLRR LRRLRRLRRLRRL"
> Well, you can't trust anyone 100% but as organizations go I don't have much problem with Google having access.

Which means you trust every Google executive, manager, employee & contractor, as well as every agency of every government Google is beholden too.

I trust myself, and myself alone.
The user can close your page at any moment, so you need to design your web app to save data continuously and automatically anyway.
"This browser is so dumb, it's saying that I can be identified by my battery level! Stupid Google!"

... I suspect many wouldn't understand the tracking implications, and even many who can understand it wouldn't immediately make the connection.

That said, this isn't the first such thing used to identify users. Other things like resolution, browser, extensions, etc, can be used to make a nearly unique fingerprint and this has been known for years. Search "browser fingerprint" and you'll find many pages on the subject.
I think there's more to it. By turning material into a problem or an exercise, you've already turned on an active learning response. There's no way to coast through the text if you have something to grapple with already.

it could be a recessive trait carried on the X chromosome, and women have two copies of X, whereas men have an X and a Y, so could never satisfy the two copies criterion for recessive traits.
I hope somebody mirrors this elsewhere. This is just perverse.
Actually, there's the third option - heavy sandboxing with privilege spoof.

Let the app think it gets access to all it wants. E.g. fake battery stats, never ringing buzzer, empty or fake contact list, throwaway email address, geolocation in random place (around the world or city of user's choice), random per-installation device IDs, etc.

Parabiosis: Potential Fountain of Youth
There's two equal and opposite misrepresentations of reality. If you're not either the main bad/good guy then a single gun shot or punch will take you out completely. Often people fly backwards from a gun shot, which is just crazy. Conversely, if you are the main hero/villain, you can probably get shot 10 times and be beaten with a lead pipe across the head quite a few times and still be going along just fine.
I left that for the two to settle between themselves. I just explained the thing to the guy that asked me first. He was on the RGB side, having shown me a picture similar to this one[0] on his mobile phone. My guess is that he ended up claiming victory, because when I tried to explain the details of the problem, he was going all "so this means RGB can be considered primary colors, right?". I never met the other guy.

404 is Github's default answer for when you try to access a private repo you don't have access to.

You can test it by logging out of our account and attempting to access a private repo url you usually can access.
ok, thanks. if this is your goal, then it seems like the right tool. monadic syntactic sugar helps too, so... ir fits.
As someone who restores older Teletype machines, I get to type on a real mechanical keyboard. It's a strange experience at first. When you press a key, it locks down for 200ms while the mechanism cycles. During this period, no other key can be pressed; the other keys are physically blocked. You can't press two keys at once; that, too, is mechanically interlocked. Efficient typing on these machines requires typing at a fixed speed of 5 keystrokes per second. It's like playing a piano; rhythm matters.

In the pre-1930 Teletype machines, the keys are ordinary Underwood typewriter keys. If you type too fast, you blunt your fingers against the immovable keys. In 1930, Teletype switched over to spring-loaded keycaps, with about 1mm of spring motion in case you hit a key before the machine is ready. This made fast typing much more comfortable.

Western Union expected their Teletype operators to be able to type "blind", with no display or printer to see what they were typing. Outbound operators often used a machine with a keyboard and a tape punch only - no printer. Here's one at work.[1] The machine she's using doesn't have the 5 keystroke per second limitation - notice the loop of tape between the keyboard machine and the tape reader. That's buffering. Operators were expected to type without errors, of course.
