It's well know that the 747 is extraordinary in terms of engineering. Why? From the naive perspective, it's the-same-thing-only-bigger. I'm not quite that naive, but I'd love to hear an authoritative analysis rather than the popular wisdom.

I would guess that engines powerful and efficient enough to fly a plane so much larger than any predecessors, and to fly it further, would also be a significant achievement.
Our kids in a standard German school has one whole week devoted to learning circus tricks and acts. At the end of the week, they put on a show for the parents and the local community. Money raised from the ticket sales goes back to the school. The kids loved it, and so did the parents.

They did things like walking on glass, eating fire, trapeze and other crazy acts.
Have you tried loading all the data required and then munging it in c#?

Edit - returning multiple result sets from the server is always an option too.
Same here, but people have come in since the first iPhone to ask the simplest question to Apple Stores.
I personally just use either Drupal, for complex websites because it's very customisable and flexible, or just write something in PHP with my own framework base.

For hosting, for smaller static-ish sites I register a shared hosting account and give the client login, for bigger websites a VPS just for the site, that I charge separately to update, and all ports except 80, 443, 21 and 22 are closed.
I'd love to but I'm guessing things like Facebook/Google/github/Twitter authentication won't work? Or will it?
Postgres does use a variation of lz when using TOAST. TOAST is the technique Postgres uses to store attributes that are too big to store with the rest of the row. Unfortunately, TOAST only works within a single attribute, it doesn't work across multiple rows, or even across multiple attributes of the same row.

If it is not next-big-thing-worthy, there is no real point for a company like Google to try it in the first place.
> Have you tried loading all the data required...

Sorry, I probably edited my post while you were typing. The amount of data to load is theoretically unbounded (could load the entire data set for a big report) and it's very difficult to estimate ahead of time which data needs to be loaded. This is because the data in the time series dictates which secondary sets of data will be loaded on a record-by-record basis.

Which is where Tesla comes in with its existing marketing and sales channels. And why it's a sound strategy to acquire SCTY.
I had a professor really into this way of thinking (it frustrated students who didn't "get it" to no end), he had us read The Waking Dream by Ray Grasse. I thought that book was a great introduction to the symbol-minded way of thinking that typically seems so foreign to us modern educated techies.
Create a docker container, mount -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix in there and run your browser that way. It's VM lite and mitigates this attack.
USB-C is the correct technical solution.

A modest cable leading to the peripheral in question is likely an acceptable form factor, and far more robust than trying to make one standard for a thing to bolt on to.

5 UX Design Trends You Should Be Aware of in 2016

Someone needs to solve bike theft... I watch as friends routinely get bikes stolen in SF. There's no way I'd take my bike (from SouthBay) up into the city, because I just don't want to have it stolen. So I just rely on Uber once I'm in the city.

Yeah, but how well did it work out for the laptop?

More to the point, how well is it working out for /modern/ laptops. Look at the drive in that market.
I think exercise also gives you high. Maybe they should ban people from doing it.
What a great comment. I went through a period in my life where I hardly traveled at all, and more recently I've been traveling frequently for work. I still feel the same childish joy every time I feel the plane leave the ground -- we're actually flying!

And the fact that basically on a whim, I can buy a ticket, show up at an airport, wait a bit, sit on a plane for a while, and then basically show up on the other side of the world in a few hours, what it used to take humans months, or even years, to do, when it became possible at all.

So yeah; from someone who's a geek about it, but outside of the aviation industry: it's cool.

Do you really think so? I have an impression that the market is kinda OK with short battery life. Otherwise there would be a trend in this way. Maybe after other specs reach their practical limits?
Isn't this all simply about correlation vs causation? Machine learning can find strong correlations and we can make predictions based on those correlations, but at the end of the day, the machine knows nothing about what is causing any of it, and hence is "inscrutable".

So it is up to us to fill the gap in our understanding because that is what machine learning ultimately says about the subject. It tells us what we don't know. If we knew all about the subject, our predictions would match the predictions of the machine because there is only one reality we're both observing. But if there is any gap, then the machine is telling us what we don't know, not what it (of all things) knows. It's just crunching numbers. It doesn't "know" anything.
I really enjoy the ease of plaintext accounting. (h)ledger rules!
GP post is correct, it is USB-OTG. USB-C is the connector and has nothing to do with how the port acts. You can have USB-OTG with MicroUSB.
I bought a waterproof phone, and it has been a surprisingly useful feature to me. Not because of all the times I've dropped it in the toilet, or decided to do scuba photography, but rather the peace of mind I get from knowing I could fall in a pool at any moment and get out without a $600 fine from the phone company. Or that I can go for a jog and use it as an ipod even if it looks like it might rain. Prop it up in a corner of the shower and listen to news podcasts while I get clean.

Or, basically, I just don't have to think or worry about water or moisture at all. Never expected to appreciate that feature so much.
Turning a previously open category of computing into a locked down experience never particularly excited me in the first place.
Enjoyably Machiavellian.

But in the instance of this phone, a more straightforward strategy seems clear: to break down the monolithic phone market and suppress the unique market position of big competitors like Samsung. As in this quote from a wowed reporter from The Verge --

Just as importantly, though, Project Ara could have a ripple effect on the entire mobile industry. One of the goals is to "democratize the hardware ecosystem, break it wide open, basically disintermediate the OEMs," Eremenko [then the project lead] says, "so that component developers can now have privy [sic] with the consumer."

I've used it for about half a year, it's alright but doesn't work as well as advertised. Just buy a high quality metal brush, inspect before and after use, replace often. If it sounds like too much trouble you shouldn't be BBQing in the first place.
I can see that. I just tend to engage on threads about ddos/security where I share what I do and tools I use.
Unfortunately the last two release cycles of the Note series have been feature downgrades ever since Note 4.

Fun fact - this is not a maths error, Samsung skipped Note 6 branding and went straight to 7 to match their S7 release names.

> As for your final paragraph about word choice: I'm not sure what you mean, I'm just talking about any software that is running somewhere and accessible across a network.

Well, a web browser is accessible across a network. An email client is accessible across a network. What fundamentally distinguishes a mail server from either of those that justifies rejecting to run one of those yourself outright, while presumably being fine with the others?

You seem to have some implicit assumption that a piece of software that opens a listening TCP socket is somehow much more vulnerable than one that doesn't. I don't think that that is justified, and if anything, gives you a false sense of security.

> but I'm getting the sense that if I did that, you would just be dismissive of all those things as "not a big concern", "because of complexity", "because of C", etc., and I would be wasting my time.

I am not dismissing anything, I am just pointing out why those aren't problems. If you disagree, feel free to disagree. And maybe make an actual more specific argument than "there are a lot of things one can do wrong".

I mean, how is it relevant that there are tons of ways to screw up buffer handling in C when the obvious solution is to just not write your own personal mail server in C? Yes, it is hard to write secure software in C. Very hard. Yes, there are cases where there are good reasons to write network software in C despite that. Is your own personal mail server one of them? No.

Or how is it relevant that the web is a hugely complex mess of inherently insecure APIs when the task at hand is writing an email server? Just don't write your email server as a web application and you don't have to deal with any of the myriads of security problems that plague the web.

> There are plenty of places you can go read about this stuff if you want to, but I don't think you do, I think you're just looking for an argument. Good luck to you!

Thanks, but I think I have found enough vulnerabilities to not need any introductory books to understand how people constantly screw up security in their code.
Question about on-boarding email: does the strategy lose its effectiveness as more products do it?

Software developers are among the most cynical when it comes to marketing, so I expect us to say that these suck.

What I wonder though is if every company starts to take the same approach, does a public collective fatigue set in?

I imagine that the conversion rate on direct mailers that look like novelty checks started off quite high, but the public eventually became immune as the "trick" is absorbed.
Every grill spatula is a great beer opener whether it was designed to be one or not.
The whole point of barbecue is indirect cooking with smoke.

Unless y'all mean grilling when you say BBQ.
When I see articles about security related topics I immediately expect them to be served over HTTPS and get frustrated when they are not.

It makes me think if HN should perhaps make a stand and either display some sort of lock icon next to secure links or make it harder for insecure links to show in the front page. Where is the right place to discuss this?
Airplane assembly lines are amazing. I did a tour of the Lockheed atlanta plant and ir blew my mind. Seeing a handful of c130 in line in various states of assembly was mindblowing. The scale of the place is just ridiculous. I can't imagine how the 747 line might have been.
Wow, I know how terrible Google is with keeping a product, but this surprises me still. Project Ara was really popular among Android enthusiasts, and even though I didn't really expect it to make them a whole lot of money, as it isn't terribly interesting to the mainstream consumer market, I would have still expected them to at least release it, even if it's just for research and PR reasons, kind of like they did with Google Glasses.

Currently working as Android Developer in Tokyo and looking for an opportunity in the US, preferably in SF. I have 5 years experience in mobile development.
Meanwhile elsewhere: Fairphone 2 is available, is modular and user-repairable (iFixit: 10/10: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Fairphone+2+Teardown/52523). Ara looked cooler, but I guess I should cease any high hopes for Google innovation or market disruption. Which is sad, but probably the way things go in this world.
Which is just a PR strategy.

It's alomost certain that other companies, like Apple and Microsoft are working of similar things but they just don't make public announcements about their internal hackathon proof-of-concepts
Great link thanks. I had no idea they were that effusive about venture money. Really hammers home the idea that if you have a killer tool, money will find you.
It'll only need to be used on the bars with gunk on their underside, so you wouldn't necessarily have to do it for each bar.
A key advantage of mobile phones is that while a PC is around 50 liters, an iPhone 6 is 0.06 liters; almost 1000 times smaller.

You are relying on the assumption that the "modularity" is independent of the form factor; that if it worked in the PC, it can work in a mobile phone.

Maybe the success of mobile phones is because of their lack of modularity, not in spite of it.

I've always felt each 747 flight I've taken has been special. Dunno why. The thing just speaks to me aesthetically.
I'm not sure you get what I have just said. The process doesn't work. People clearly mentally unfit to own guns can buy them legally. The process is not followed and they don't get barred. People who are unfit don't get flagged as unfit and then buy guns. How many examples would you like? Half a dozen come to mind. There are no shortages of publications that state this.
In my first job, 70+% of the work force within the division had the same job title, and any number on that title had a pay range associated with it that could easily cover many years of mediocre raises with little basis on performance. During the 10 years I was there, my job title changed twice, with the second change reverting to the previous title (including an associated pay increase for both title changes), because the division did not have enough work that they could give to someone with that particular title.

In my second job, I was a Software Developer 3 for 5 years with relatively good annual raises, and I worked on two different contracts in that time. The only way my title would have been likely to change would have been due to being hired onto a contract that required different titles (Web Developer or Software Engineer, for example), or to move up to a Lead Developer, which would have been somewhere between a developer and a manager. With that employer, moving from Developer to Lead meant that a Lead quit on your contract (and you interviewed for it) or you were hired onto a different contract as a Lead.

With my current employer, the numbers were removed from the job titles several years ago. For the most part, raises are even worse than they were with my first employer, and job-hopping internally is the only way most people can see a significant raise, regardless of merit. Promotions come from people in higher positions leaving, which seems less likely (except through retirement) than I've seen elsewhere, but you have to apply/interview for the promotion against internal and external applicants. Most of the people in this location which make more money with the same title have been hired in the 4 years since I started, and I make roughly 50% more than my co-worker with the same title who has held his job for over 10 years. On the good side, there are still a couple of other job titles I'm qualified to hold before I become a manager (though again I'm tempted with that Lead Programmer title which blends the roles). On the bad side, there isn't a lot of chance of vertical movement, so it's a struggle between the comfort of the known environment and the internal job search to see if anything interesting is posted.
If only commercial adoption was driven entirely by "technical solutions"... (It isn't. Form, design, and UX matter a lot. Dongled peripherals suck.)
You know, you're not forced to buy a new phone, if you think your old one does the job just as well.
No, I just looked up Copenhagen's climate, and it's less extreme than many US Midwest cities. Thank the Gulf Steam.
Ouch. Before reading this article I was seriously considering deploying a signing service as a HaLVM (Haskell) Xen PV unikernel running on EC2. The service would receive its private key after startup, such that the key never touches disk. Now I'm a lot less inclined to pretend that the Xen interface actually protects me...

If it's not possible to do a few big queries to pull all the necessary base data (all the related Ys and Zs for the last 10,000 Xs) and then join/filter it yourself in code, then I think you are stuck with many queries. The options I can think of are: 1) keep the logic in stored procedures; 2) find a way to fetch the raw data in a few large queries, then join yourself; 3) let the reports be slow and generate them in the background; 4) write one complex SQL query that does all the crunching (if possible, you're saying it's not).

I once ordered a kratom extract powder from some website many years ago, while on a quest for novel ways for my friends and I to get high. After calculating the suggested dosage, and swallowing an uncomfortably large number of gel caps filled with the stuff one Friday evening, we each experienced a sedated, euphoric effect.

The shocking part for us was during the next day and a bit of the day after, we found ourselves unable to perform basic math, and reasoning in general felt fuzzy. Thankfully, by Monday, we were able to function normally. We came to the common conclusion that this is a truly stupefying substance in the proper sense of the word, and that usage should be avoided if you have anything important to think about in the next several days.

While the book is very much dramatic in tackling the subject of "psychopaths", I submitted this mainly because there's a really awesome description of a "healthy" workplace -- definitely something I'm going to keep an eye out for on my next interview.

...
- Your workplace is creative, and effective. Everyone
brings problems and ideas to the table, and solves
them without delay or fuss. There is a lot of chatter,
and few meetings.
...

As opposed to an unhealthy one:

...
- The coffee wakes you, and you find the energy to start
on the report. Except, it's meeting time. Everyone
crowds into the meeting room. Planning time. Always
the same. Your mind goes back to sleep.

Yes, we could argue that user should use more secure password, but on the other hand, I always wonder why startups these days are still busy rolling out their own custom account management than leveraging OAuth or hosted solution like Auth0. Seriously, in how many cases do we have a feature that is so unique that is not available via these alternative solutions?

Even though I have 1password setup, I would be so reluctant to create new passwords, I'm more willing to use OAuth whenever I can.
TL;DR... so how did they get it?
This is a good point, but how do you apply that sort of sanity to guns?
