But if you complain about bad service at a restaurant, we don't assume you're a bad eater.

I usually do assume this, at least when reading Yelp reviews.
Who cares! I remember listening to abed stuff back in the 80's, and chose to have sex anyway. As I mentioned in another comment, in 1990 I heard about the _science_ behind sexually transmitted diseases and chose to stop.
And still are in some contexts, but that creates its own confusion. Developers reserved 2 digits for the minor revision. So what happens at 1.99 when they realize they don't want to go to 2.00 (perhaps 1.99 was a bug fix for the legacy system and 2.xx is already out there).

If you want to use a decimal-imitative notation, do like Knuth and have your system's version number converge to Pi or e or some other constant.
I thought it was a text editor. It is rather curious that it cannot open large text files.
Since that is… most of us, I'm curious to hear more from the software side too.

Just move on man. I used to be a big hater of Atom, but then I realized that I was not contributing on its development so I stopped being a "hater" and continue with my own life using another editor that actually works for my use case. As the parent comment says, Atom works for some people and that is enough for them to continue its development, I am fairly confident that it will never have the performance that a native editor has but it is workable as long as you don't do resource intensive tasks.

My computer is not powerful at all so Atom is obviously slow as hell and lags all the time, at first I thought I improved my typing skills because I was typing faster than the editor was displaying the characters, but that was obviously not the case. Most Atom users — or at least the most active users — use rMBPs with i7 CPUs and (maybe?) 16GB of RAM, I don't want to buy a computer like that just to use a code editor like this, I would do it for an IDE though; and even if I had a computer like this I would not want to give most of its resources to the code editor when there are more important things to spend the CPU / RAM on.

If your intention is to open a database dump then use a different tool, a proper log viewer or something like that, I don't even understand why would you want to use a code editor — even with good performance — to inspect a DB dump in the first place.
Yep, a lesson for sure! Honestly we just had an emphasis on getting the ball rolling and working it out as we go, rather than trying to get our ducks in a line first.

I think that approach is a good baseline, emphasis on shipping, but it would have been good to have everything sorted now. In hindsight seeing this on the homepage of HN, yes I would have sorted things first! :)
I'm an avid user of Atom, but one thing I'm curious about regarding the performance issues (which I primarily see on startup) is whether or not the JIT compilation done by V8 (which is what it uses behind the scenes) does any caching of generated code that lasts beyond a single program launch.

JavaScript JITs are designed with interpretation first in mind, and then optimised native code generation for hotspots. This works pretty well for apps loaded irregularly, but I'm wondering if it happens for apps based on Electron (of which Atom is an example)?
This rosey view of the public-funded Internet ignores the reality of the network at the time. As recently as the mid-1990s, the entire Internet could netsplit, like a badly-run IRC network; there was a run of a couple days where commercial sites (like Ripco, my first ISP) couldn't reach any .EDU sites.

Telecom companies like Comcast and Verizon "own" the backbone because they built it. Not just the backhaul connections they install at enormous expense, not just the hundreds of millions of dollars of switches and routers, but the very peering centers and agreements that allow different networks to interoperate. Had UUNet been forbidden from building "private" backbones, they'd have simply built a new IP network, and we'd all be using that instead.
I was working 9-5 for five years as web app developer which allowed me to create financial buffer to live for several years without work if needed. I live in a cheap country.

At the end I actually took one year off, and during that time I learned to code mobile apps and then successfully joined Toptal and work as freelancer. And since I am in Toptal I receive also many freelance job offers from other sides, just because I mention I am their member in my linkedin profile. I was surprised that they have such a good reputation.

Anyway, I credit my success at joining Toptal mostly to the amount of free time I had during the hiring process (which took cca 1 month), so that I was able to fully focus on it.

The fact that they publicize their 32-bit PGP fingerprint on their "security" page does not lend confidence in their security practices. Granted, there's also a link to the full PGP key, but the use of short fingerprints for any purpose should be verboten.

Fun article.

> "That being said, this optimization seems to run 4-5x faster on CPU than GPU."

I'm guessing it is a question of throughput. GPUs are becoming almost like vector processors, and so if you do not 'feed the beast' then throwing hoards of threads at the problem will just increase contention, versus improving scalability.

Sort of embarrassing, as I am a Bayes guy, but I've not seen much MCMC performed on GPUs. Given the parallelism, I would expect it could nicely scream with lots of threads (if you also had lots of chains) but this is a guess.
250mb of RAM for a chat app that can display 4k assets, renders every known written language under the sun side-by-side in multiple fonts, supports a stupid number of emoji, has an inline image viewer, realtime sockets kept open for notifications, includes syntax highlighting for a bunch of languages, a wysiwyg-ish editor for posts, one-on-one audio chat, and can work effortlessly with hundreds of people in a single channel (which is about as many as i've seen, but it could do more).

I think that's more than reasonable, and trying to get that number down to anything lower would be such a waste of resources for almost no payoff (what percentage of users do you think will have their lives measurably improved by having slack use 100MB less RAM?)

Oh, and mine is only using 100MB and has been running for a few days at least.

That's a solid point. I've generally avoided password managers because not knowing my (unique-per-service, strong) passwords makes me nervous in exactly the same way as not actually knowing the phone numbers of the most important N people in my life.

Well, water is not any worse than alcohol, so that first statement doesn't really make sense. In general LSD is orders of magnitude safer than alcohol, even based just on the LD50. LSD is very potent, but not addictive, and for a few casual uses, which can be mind-expanding, it generally doesn't have any negative effects, outside of a few very rare cases.

This is exactly how evolution works though. The genetic makeup of an individual organism doesn't change according to its environment. Only the offspring can have different genetic makeup which can be for better or for worse - this is where natural selection comes into play.

And if I write on the side of the gun "for hunting and range use only" does that mean the gun manufacturer isn't liable anymore?

Also last time I've checked automatic weapons are illegal for civilians to own or carry in the US so no one is buying an Assault Rifle in the US unless they spend north of 30,000$ on a pre-ban firearm or have a license to make or sell firearms to law enforcement and military customers.

But that's aside you cannot shift the liability of an action to anyone but the perpetrator.

This infantile idea that some how some one can be liable for you own actions is not only morally bankrupt but is completely the wrong fight if you want to implement sane gun control in the US.

I am not American, I have no particular support for gun "rights" as I do not have them.

Any objection I might have to gun control activists in the US is due to their ideology tactics and methods rather than the goal at large.
Your argument assumes it's not within their power to end this threat. In fact, the Senate proposed a bill that does just that [1]. There's nothing inherent to the current architecture that prevents the government from compelling companies to do their bidding. We've seen that time and time again with NSA surveillance. The crux of this article is that the Internet was largely funded by the public, then handed over to an oligopoly of telecoms in the 1990's. There's nothing about this arrangement that protects average users. In fact, it is partially responsible for the U.S. having the slowest average broadband speeds of any industrialized nation [2].

Super cool! I used to use Taskforce and actually cold emailed you way back in the day (4 years ago?) back when I didn't know much about web development!
from the readme:

"I started with "s3cmd sync" but found that with buckets containing many thousands of objects, it was incredibly slow to start and consumed massive amounts of memory. So I designed s3s3mirror to start copying immediately with an intelligently chosen "chunk size" and to operate in a highly-threaded, streaming fashion, so memory requirements are much lower.

Running with 100 threads, I found the gating factor to be how fast I could list items from the source bucket (!?!) Which makes me wonder if there is any way to do this faster. I'm sure there must be, but this is pretty damn fast."
No.... it's a constitutionally limited democratic republic. That's supposed to prevent "the majority of the voting public" from mandating stupid laws and forcing the minority to live under them.

As such, place the blame where it belongs: the majority of Democratic and Republican party politicians, who have employed the drug war as a means to preserve or increase their political power, and to distract and propagandize the aforementioned voting public away from any issues of real importance that cannot be solved effectively without doing something unpopular among certain blocs of the electorate.
I wasn't doing speedtests though, I was running torrents 24/7. High school was fun like that. Torrents were the only way to get music, movies, and TV shows back then.
That's sort of true, but OTOH vi, Emacs and even Notepad++ can write code and view huge log files. People who are holding out on Atom because of speed maybe don't want two tools where one will do, which is perfectly reasonable.

StackOverflow lost a lot of trust with me. It used to be the goto place to find answers to programming questions, but they must've gotten the incentives wrong, or something, and it just took a long time to surface.

In my naive view, you can't post anything on there without it being scrutinized to death. I don't know what the impetus is that brought this on. Was it people gaming the system for reputation?

> Paying less in taxes is equivalent to "taking money" from others either though increased debt or higher tax rates.

Not at all. Taking away a tax deduction is equivalent to raising taxes, and will do absolutely nothing to decrease taxes for anyone. Now, if you wanted to propose a bill that eliminates a tax deduction and simultaneously lowers the tax rate to keep it revenue-neutral, then at that point you could argue for the benefits of that tax cut. But a tax increase in any form defaults to becoming more revenue, and tax cuts occur separately. (I'd love to see those two things inherently connected by law, but that hasn't happened.)

Also, if you actually proposed that bill, opponents of it would reasonably ask, of all the sources you might use to fund your tax cut, why you decided to start by raiding charitable donations instead of a thousand different items in the "expenses" column. Do you really believe that, of all the possible ways to fund a tax cut, the most important would be to target charitable giving?

> Further, your sidestepping the crap argument.

If you think some charities shouldn't receive 501(c)3 status, I'd agree, and I'd argue for stricter review processes. If you think all charities shouldn't, then I invite you to make that argument to the general public and see how they respond to it.
Just to be clear, you mean Wi-Fi retransmits in the case of a collision a-la Ethernet, right? Was talking to someone a while ago who was under the impression that a TCP packet that didn't get ack'd within a certain window might be retransmitted by a Wi-Fi router that was closer to the destination. I was pretty certain it was wrong, but since you said, "Wi-Fi retransmits", just checking that's not what you meant.

AWS-cli only really got robust S3 support in the last 18 months or so. For a long time it couldn't handle multipart uploads and didn't support a bunch of corner cases (versioning, glacier, cross-account, etc)
The CFAA, which states "exceeding authorized access" to a computer system is both a crime and a tort, and the Copyright Act, which has been interpreted to mean that copies of HTML pages, even if they exist only for microseconds in RAM, are subject to copyright and thus, copyright infringement claims can be brought against anyone who downloaded the page.

It's also breach of contract (which I'm labeling separately from "illegal" to avoid nitpickers, even though it could be included) due to the individual ToS on each site, which almost always include boilerplate forbidding the access of the site by "automated means" in addition to forbidding "commercial" or other non-personal use.

Before you raise the common counterarguments, please know that others have done so before you, and the courts have generally sharply disagreed with them. There is no respect for non-Google data scraping in the judiciary.

> No.... it's a constitutionally limited democratic republic. That's supposed to prevent "the majority of the voting public" from mandating stupid laws and forcing the minority to live under them.

No, its supposed to stop the majority of the voting public from mandating laws that violate essential liberty and forcing the minority to live under them.

Its not supposed to stop the majority of the voting public from mandating stupid laws, though of course one hopes that stupid laws would, if they fail to be recognized as such before passage, be corrected in short order most of the time.

Though experience would, perhaps, show that to be overly optimistic.
Yes I did (I didn't want to say it, disappointing most HNers).

I works for most of the major websites (Google, Amazon, etc. I think you can look them up). And also handles multiple google accounts pretty well, even when an google account is logged in, without logging it out. And it definitely doesn't works for the majority of the websites.

(And now for the skeptical ones)
I'd say use it for websites you use 2FA since any bug (or intentional backdoor) won't be successful.

PSA: If you're using LastPass for managing passwords, DONOT use their 2FA authenticator app, since now it offers an option to autofill option. Now that is the point where you're crossing into al eggs in one basket territory.
Has anyone had success with Amazon Drive? 60 USD for unlimited storage or just 12 USD unlimited storage using stenography is hard to beat. If it works better for backup than Backblaze or Crashplans terrible clients and horrid performance it would be a good alternative.

A store I go to usually has good produce but occasionally fails to take aging stuff off the shelf. Getting the picker to follow my subjective taste as far as what is too old is a bit of a problem.

Of course the solution is for the store to rotate the produce faster, but there is probably a reason they don't.

Show HN: We built a social network for Pokemon Go to chat, share and connect
Hey everyone!

When Pokemon Go released in early July, I was on of the crazies that was looking for a way to help players communicate and chat with each other. I quickly created a slack group for them to join and a few weeks later there was over 1500 members chatting and sharing about their Pokemon journeys. I knew there was an opportunity to built something real. A true social network for Pokemon Go.

A person named Trevor emailed me around this time and we quickly chatted over the phone and realized we had a common goal to create this. Trevor has the technical skills as a genius designer/developer and I had experience in marketing, strategy, user experience, and growth (hopefully). The result is Pokechat. www.pokechat.co

Pokechat is simple a way to share, post, chat, and connect with Pokemon Go players! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Pika Pika.
Never. People like to build things. Just like asking, when will the last muzzle loader be made? Simple answer, never. People love hobbies.
Good point. It's the same dynamic as with burnout, where it's common to assume that it's the burned-out employee that is sick/weak, rather than the company.

I did both. Have a look at other responses I gave in this thread. As far as AbEd education, who cares. I never listened to that stuff back in the 80's, and now we have the Internet, so we've got all the information.

Here is an anecdote for you. I was once held up at gunpoint on a business trip and my wallet was taken (gotta love Orlando, FL).

I went to the airport 3 hours early with no identification and told them the situation. They still printed my boarding pass and put SSSS on it. I went to the huge long line and I went around it entirely and went into the secondary screening room. They did a full patdown and entirely emptied my carry-on. It was no big deal and was done in 20 minutes, less time than I'd have stood in line. After that I boarded the plane and went home.

I've sometimes contemplated putting SSSS on my boarding pass with a red sharpie when there is a very long line just to get around it entirely.
Diligent savings over many years combined with low-risk investments. The stable income it generates now covers all living expenses for my family. I'm still part of the 9-5 crowd by choice while I search for my next calling in life. However, the main job is now more of a training ground and networking center than a primary source of income.
I guess it depends on the data we are talking about?

I have a huge photo library, but I'm not a professional photographer. I'm not going to sell any of the photos I have on my computer. So when Apple told me I could offload all that data to the cloud, and worry about it less (from a backup perspective), I said "absolutely".

Sensitive data is more problematic. But the vast majority of people aren't handling "sensitive" data.

I don't, but would the extension in-effect need to have all your passwords too? Since I don't know of any battle tested (multiple very bad vulnerabilities exposed in public) password managers that offer this other than LastPass, I say check out the public opinion of that extension.
