If you think the general UI of Twitter is awful, try using it as a media organisation. There's no easy way to share a single account with sharing a password as well, leading to people hijacking the account. Uploading videos is painfully slow, especially if you're used to the speed of YouTube and Facebook. The 'analytics' Twitter provides for videos is a joke: it doesn't show you the tweet attached to your video, so you only get a thumbnail and the name of your account. No way to filter or sort that list as well though.

I think many companies would happily fork over $100 per month to Twitter to have a 'media dashboard' that is as easy to use as the one from Facebook.
For shared hosting providers, or any configuration where mysql access control is actually used for anything, this appears fairly critical. Especially for the upcoming PoC that doesn't need /etc/mysql/my.cnf to be writable.

It also means that an SQLi vulnerability suddenly becomes a potential remote root shell.
Hum, For my point of view Facebook didn't killed blog. Blog is used not only to show pictures of yourself, but writing. Nobody write on Facebook, they only share things. It's totally different, but hey anyway you can make your blog what you when that they are. Multiple account kill the service. You have at less 5 social media on every newspaper website. I don't use anymore twitter and I hope people will do it too. It's really a waste of time using 10 social media. I even don't use Facebook too.

I strongly disagree with that link. Training for combat is more than just a few simple brutal takedowns. Understanding and implementing minimal force is a vary real and important skill set. Further many people study sports and get a completely biased understanding of fighting. This can be dangerous for them, but also anyone else they take a swing at while not wearing pads.

People spend years learning a mix of the useless and horrifically dangerous. They then ingrane twitch reflexes to do something often with little thought as to what it actually does in a real world context.

I think the alternative proposed by the article is clear: use the money to provide universal services.

You should try a newer version of the IDE/compiler. Delphi 10 Seattle and 10.1 Berlin are pretty damn good. Fast load times, editor is solid. The only real downside to the whole product is that the VCL (still) needs better layout management and easier ways to cope with scaling on high-DPI displays.

UI Concept for AR/MR

No, that would be illegal according to your tax region.
Maybe, but the compensation range for developers in London is much narrower than you might think. From what I've seen, most startups offer in the range £30k-70k per year, probably with some mostly useless stock option deal. I've seen salaries out of Amazon and Facebook starting at £50k, and even at investment banks, for more junior positions. These are all basically suckers, given the cost of living in London, among other things.

Anything below £70k isn't worth consideration, unless you really want to be in London I guess. There will be better offers elsewhere.

Above £70k the range is basically £70k-100k, for a number of reasons. At £100k you end up in a different tax bracket, to the point where you may want to start considering taking other perks other than salary, to keep your tax cost down. Also, if you're being offered that kind of money, you're likely accepting a director-level offer, so really for engineers the meaningful range is about £70k-100k. Since you mentioned Palantir, I'll mention that I met with a recruiter of theirs who mentioned in our first (and only) meeting that their salaries were in this specific range.

For contract work, you can quite easily break the £100k barrier, but obviously now you're running your own shop with all of the issues that brings. Or possibilities, depending on your perspective!
They haven't performed any testing with the USB Kill connected to a USB to Apple lightning adapter or to a USB-to-micro-USB adapter. I think that the device with a micro USB adapter would function identically, as it's just a pin mapping. But a Lightning adapter has a Lightning controller onboard.

Something like this (or even a USB to Lightning charger cable):

https://www.amazon.com/HIOTECH®-Adapter-Lightning-Female-iPh...

Would this destroy the Lightning controller in the adapter/cable, or would it work to destroy the iPhone?
I wonder if this is a consequence of the modern, "user-story-driven" style of UI development.

I'd claim that, back then, when UI design was considered less important, most UIs were either essentially random - or organized around the manipulation of "virtual objects" that conveniently mapped to the underlying data structures. (Files and folders, emails, DB entities, ...)

Some of that resulted in you getting a sort of UI consistency "for free", simply because the data structure had to be consistent. So you'd offer the "natural" actions for an object to the user (mostly CRUD) without thinking much which use-cases these actions were fulfilling.

In contrast, modern UI design seems to be driven less by abstractions and more by a priority-ordered list of individual use-cases. One consequence of this is that certain features can be missing even though you'd reasonable expect then to be there - because the use-case wasn't decided to be important enough.

Is there feature/API parity between Vim 8 and NeoVim? I would hate to see the community fragment and disintegrate.
My personal experience agrees with yours, there's not that much room – at least not in the higher end.
Ah ok, sorry to hear that. With such a small development team, it sounds like it could be hard to move into management. However, this should also present opportunities: if you see something that needs to be done and no one's dealing with it, do it yourself, accept the responsibility and try and make sure some one notices that you've gone to that effort (or ideally, point out the fact that you're going to do this to whoever you report to).

PyDev of the Week: Rami Chowdhury
BigData and ML Examples and Libraries Weekly Roundup – Sep. 12, 2016
Very interesting read. Especially for someone like me who is on the verge of completing his undergraduate education. I have always feared that life might be too boring in the industry. This provides some fresh perspective. Also thank you for pointing out the downside of reading 50 Manning books. I wish wherever I end up working I manage to carve out time to continue reading and educating myself like you did.
Neovim already fragmented the community. Bram seems to have stepped up to the challenge bigtime since neovim announcement, as judged by his github activity graph.

Yes, but old-school MPI style supercomputer clusters are closer to Hadoop style clusters than standalone machines for the purpose of this discussion.

Both have mechanisms for doing distributed processing on data that is too big for a single machine.

The original argument was that command line tools etc are sufficient. In both these cases they aren't.
What is that? I can't (easily) tell what it is that you are trying to suggest looking at.
Most people over the age of 20...
Thought about this as well. I agree that the concept of using electronics to create a sort of "prosthetic" photographic memory is interesting but going with the theme of the series, it did an interesting job of dramatizing the potential pitfalls of being able to rewind and review everything you say or do. I liked that wasn't even about conspiracies or surveillance but rather the way that sort of access to the past can allow you to dwell on it and constantly second-guess yourself and past actions.
You sound like a good candidate for something like Elm (elm-lang.org), with its Elm Architechture.
Vim 8 released
This is the default user-generated policy, others are able to tweak and adjust using policy rules, i.e:

p.AllowURLSchemes("tel")

I chose conservative and safe defaults, not everyone wishes to whitelist telephone links.
Reaching Customers via Trusted Advisors
Many companies, particularly the larger organizations, have pretty strict boundaries though. Case in point: in a large corporation we tried recruiting an incredibly talented developer, but because of company rules, we couldn't offer him what he asked for despite us thinking he was definitely worth it (and really, it wasn't outlandish in any way) but HR would never let it fly because rules. His problem then, I think, was that he mentioned what he'd earned elsewhere, so some policy dictated we couldn't offer more than 20% than that, or whatever. Stupid, silly policy, and just goes to show you should never divulge information the other party just isn't privy to. (I've never told recruiters what I earned before, that's not their business.)
Maybe find some GNOMES along the way.
Yep. I know a guy who was falsely accused of sexual impropriety by a female student who made it up when her parents discovered evidence of her promiscuity (which, it was discovered, was with her boyfriend).

She goes unnamed and unscathed. Thanks to Google, he will never work in education again.

If it happened to him it could happen to you.
HN's algorithm for deciding what gets on the first page is not totally trivial. Is it published anywhere?
> The discrete fourier transform is actually finite-dimensional linear algebra.

Not only that, it's the most interesting kind of linear algebra: it shows that, though every (finite-dimensional if you don't like choice) vector space has a basis—so that we can pretend that all n-dimensional vector spaces are the same for a fixed n—the simple act of changing that basis (which is all the DFT is doing) can have a profound impact.
Right. Frankly that's a disappointing response. One source software shouldn't be a competition. I'm still holding out for some kind of grand unification in the future. I'm sure this is becoming a nightmare for plug-in maintainers, because it's certainly a pain in the ass for users like me.
Actually, HP is an Ink company. Printers are just an unfortunate distraction for them.
IMO, both Facebook and Twitter are just victims of the trend of using the web browser as a full-blown application platform.
Notable improvements:

- Async /Io

- Async Jobs

- "Packages", which allow easier built-in bundling of plugins

I'm pretty excited for this release! I've been using Neovim for several months now, but really great to see mainline Vim get these (IMO long overdue) enhancements.

Actually, in this case, it's the justice, not the government. At it makes a huge difference!
I have a Samsung ML-2165W, which is a wifi printer and every time I want to print something is a pain regardless if I am on Windows, Mac or Linux. It does a decent job when it works, but the software is a crap.

I hope they improve all the drivers and firmware.

Aren't Flask and CherryPy very similar, in that they're minimalist 'micro' web frameworks with very little scaffolding? You kinda make it sound like Flask is some passing fad. It's been out for over six years now...

Anyhoo thanks for the link. I'll be checking out CherryPy at some point as I much prefer minimalist frameworks.
Yes, it is important. However, some project managers obsess over it. Instead of focusing on delivering something the client wants and finds valuable they obsess over estimates, minimizing change orders, and time spent, to the point where it becomes the single determining factor in what we do and don't do.

It's important to be on time. I've found that it's more important to solve the client's problem. And if you solve the client's problem well enough, the client will give you flexibility on the time.
Except for the fact that unemployment rose in Europe in general in that time period. Greece and Spain both had peak unemployment at the exact same time as Portugal - despite both Greece and Spain not using Portugals drug policy.

It probably begins as a bug, but left it there by the reasons you mentioned. Or saw it as good enough and doesn't care about users who wants to know more than what happened in the last day/week/month.
Against Minimalism
I wouldn't say he's stepped up. It's all a reactionary response to Neovim. I dont think we'd ever have async in vim if it weren't for the neovim project.

That being said I hope they pull an io.js and merge taking the best of both vim and neovim, whatever that may be.
Can anyone comment on how significant this discovery is? Are we talking unprecedented or has this been hypothesized for a while? Are the conditions on such comets more conducive for organic molecule formation than the surface of a planet or large moon might be?
I'd say it more turned out that Circles were decidedly unintuitive, and far more of a pain to use than Facebook's single list (which can still be heavily customized, most people just don't bother.)
IMO in software industry there are only two kinds of jobs that are interesting - ones where you create non trivial user applications using complex high level technologies and one where you create those underlying technologies. It seems you are doing boring CRUD applications, and that at a very high level too, so it is natural to feel bored. If you can't find the former kind of jobs, I would suggest that you learn/improve hardcore CS stuff and apply for a job where you would be building things at lower levels.
Dynamic hedging: Game changer for currency management
>No, no they are not. JavaScript is a privacy-destroying technology. It is a security-impairing technology. It is also pretty neat: it can be great in self-hosted applications, and it can add nice functionality when users trust a site.

First, whether it's "privacy-destroying" or "security-impairing" is orthogonal to it being a prerequisite for the modern web. Especially since 99% of the people don't see it that way in the first place.

Second, they (government etc) can read all your mails, tap the backbones, and store your phone-calls, even track your moves through cell towers, and know everyone you spoke with. The websites you visit is probably the least interesting information about you.

>Requiring it is akin to a restaurant requiring customers to deposit their wallets at the bar; it's akin to the police requiring the ability to read one's mind

قصيدة خليل يُمتحن ..بمناسبة عيد الأضحى المبارك
I have a friend who does this and I went to watch one of their events. He says he only does 1-on-1 fights for safety reasons and I can understand why. At least you always have your opponent in front of you in this case. The group fights are super fast and dynamic and the biggest strategy is basically covering distance quickly, teaming up on people, and tackling from behind. They're less about weapons and more about American football-style tackles from the side/back while the opponent is busy sword fighting with your team mate. The armour is also so padded and thick that ordinary weapons like swords are really more for just point fighting. Two handed weapons definitely do more damage. Also, getting jabbed in the face with the edge of a wooden shield looks pretty serious, not to mention quick and unexpected! Watching their event was super exciting, but at the same time there's a looming feeling that someone will get seriously hurt at any second.
I would be quite surprised if the EU didn't take a pretty dim view of this deal.
It seems like the obsession with collecting memories on your hard drive is a great way to never collect any of them in your head.

I don't see why. Once you have a working setup, life logging can take less time and effort than manually taking pictures with your phone.

Like I mentioned, anyone doing proper Engineering (as in, professional liability) will have the same level of confidence in a number coming out of your Hadoop system as they would in a number their colleague Charlie calculated on a napkin at the bar after two beers. Same goes for people in the pharma/biomolecular/chemical industries, oil and gas, mining etc etc.

What are you talking about?

I personally know people working in mining, oil/gas as well as automotive engineering (which you mentioned previously). All rely on Hadoop. I'm sure I could find you some in the other fields too.

Are you seriously thinking Hadoop isn't used outside web companies or something?

Terradata sells Hadoop now, because people are migrating datawarehouses off their older systems. This isn't web stuff, it is everything the business owns.
Serious question: Is URL shortening still a thing? What are the use cases?

Down votes. Makes sense. Sure, one might be tempted to think that advocating a paperless world would be non-controversial here.

I wonder if HN know how much it parodies itself at times.
You mean the browser achieved it instead of the JVM. It could have been something other than JavaScript as the scripting language. What mattered was the platform everyone ended up using.
Yeah, i know Tweetdeck does that. But then everyone needs to use Tweetdeck, which doesn't have apps on mobile.
