Ask HN: Alternatives to Namecheap and Godaddy
I currently use Namecheap and would never think about transferring to godaddy.

I don't like NameCheap because it gets unorganized when dealing with multiple domains.

What do you use to manage your domains?
pfSense running on an old laptop or other lightweight system, along with a VLAN-capable switch and a Ubiquiti or Cisco WAP371 wifi point. Bridge pfSense to your modem, and you have a full stack. You can run your pfSense box on a stick via VLAN-ing, so you only need one interface.
Its focus is still on being a file browser though, right? Last time I used it was even less about spatial features than the Finder, and more about cramming every possible gizmo into a single-window browser.
For some reason I am surprised that anyone would want to ship the data whole and as is, to the GPU. Wouldn't it make more sense to use a representative, transformed "GPU-ready" data set, both much smaller in size & designed specifically for the queries that are to be optimized?

>> If they disagree with you, it's probably not because they are being irrational...

It's interesting to compare this POV with the Scott Adams'. In his school of thought all people are mostly irrational, even if they think otherwise: http://blog.dilbert.com/post/147595892021/how-persuaders-see...
I recently switched back to Windows after using OS X exclusively for about five years. Windows has the ergonomics and aesthetics of a U-Haul. :)

I don't know how regular people can use Windows productively without breaking everything. All the controls and settings are so persnickety and janky, built upon strata of earlier generations that are still in the way. There are so many little things Microsoft could do to streamline the user experience and make it feel solid without alienating existing users, but they just keep adding more to the stew or throwing curve balls like Metro.
I definitely see what you're saying. I guess all I can really say is it's such a gray area for me personally, given the people I've worked with. There are people who demand respect for absolutely no reason, and then there are generally arrogant, toxic people like you're describing. It's an emotional minefield!
I use http://www.gandi.net/. I chose it partially because like you, I didn't want to give money to godaddy.
I love end of world books, and I had only read one Stephenson book before, the Cryptonomicon. I was not ready. Eventually I thought, "okay, this must be almost over and can't get much worse."

And then: FIVE THOUSAND YEARS LATER.
I tried a few podcasts I subscribe to, only 3/4 were present (http://www.microbe.tv/twiv/ was missing), and none of them had any 'similar' podcasts come up.
It is amazing to me that people care so much about what other people think; they want to be told what they should and should not like.

There is some truth that having more practice with fine dining aids in better distinguishing flavours and textures, but most of it has to do with practice in identifying what Other Important People Tell You are desirable qualities. For example, in identifying fine wine, the average, untrained population cannot, study after study has shown, discriminate. One study(1) even showed that perceived quality and neurological response could be manipulated by simply mislabelling bottle price, regardless of actual price.

Should you like or dislike food because of what someone else told you to think? Maybe being told what to think is a sign of inept judgement and a lack of resolve--a different interpretation of having a "sophisticated palate."

Besides, different qualities--textures being particularly notable--can be desirable in one culture and entirely undesirable in another.

My advice: Just enjoy what you like and explore whichever foods you so desire. Take time to really absorb the quality of the food, and try out reasonably priced family owned restaurants. Stop reading the NYT to tell you what to think.

Particularly ridiculous addendum: This critic ordered, in the review in question, gluten free noodles even though less than 1% of the world's population has Celiac disease. If I went to work and addressed the problem I was given by tailoring it to 1% of my clients, I would be fired for being an idiot. Probably you would, too.

Ask HN: What's the easiest way to make a custom Captive Portal?
You know those things where your iPhone latches onto a wifi network, and is instantly redirected to some ip address or domain on the network? How can that be done on a regular home router such as Belkin, Netgear, etc?

From what I understand, you need custom firmware eg OpenWRT and then customize something like Wifidog on top of it. Otherwise your only option is to use some crappy-looking portal that lets you customize text and photos?

I would like to do one thing: simply redirect all HTTP requests without a given cookie to a certain URL hosted by a machine on the local network. Is this possible? What is the easiest way with regular routers?

If I can do this, I can build a local-area social network, I can take attendance very easily and have people automatically check in simply via their devices trying to connect to the wifi, etc.

But how to do it?
Personally I prefer at least desktop hardware for my pfSense boxes, with a physically separate WAN and LAN port. Maybe that's just because I'm bad at VLANs.
I like your concept of darlings a lot.

How about the part where people come out of the ground after five thousand years of isolation speaking an intelligible language?
Step 1) become facebooks majority shareholder. Step 2) do whatever you want with their censorship policy. Publicly traded companies are still private in the sense of ownership, their publicly traded because anyone can buy that private ownership, but until you do (and a lot of it) Facebook doesn't have any obligation to put what you want or don't want on their site. I still agree that their censorship policy is ridiculous, but they get to decide what kind of forum they are. I suggest you find a better forum cause imho fb just sucks in general

I don't think the model is 750N, more likely that's the max speed. Probably you have the 56u or 66u. The Merlin firmware for Asus routers has really improved my experience with the ac-87u. It keeps the stock UI and fixes bugs/adds features. https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca
Ok , you read this theories about how moon was initially formed and you think sounds plausible .

It is funny that they love the spatial finder so much. Remember when Gnome did this with Nautilus? It was not a popular decision at the time.

Although it obviously did have a few very vocal proponents.
I hear it tastes great when covered in chocolate.
Just because they are pushing iPad Pro as replacements for full laptops doesn't mean people can realistically replace their daily workflows with iPads right now.

There is "Productivity" (Generic Office Productivity) and there there is Productivity (Making Industries Turn). No doubt they could have iPad Pro's do both, but by the time you've made the iPad Pro able to do Maya, Premiere Pro, Da Vinci Resolve etc, you've turned it into a desktop again.

They may very well try to do that, arguing the iPad Pro is a better platform that embodies the vision of how they'd like desktop computing to be, but that platform is years and years away.

Also worth realizing that Developers aren't the bulk of people using computers for "Productivity", our use case isn't the primary one. Not that I'd be happy if Apple decided to ignore it. That'd be really sad.
Hopefully eventually this will become more prevalent https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile .

Also, I will say that some of the AOSP-based distros, such as Cyanogenmod, run just fine without Google Play installed; you get most of the (open-source) apps from F-Droid or if you need something from the Play store, sideloading or downloading from APKPure is a possibility.

There is no way to tell the Google Play Store where your stores are in the developer console. This is just a beacon, and the security researcher confused Google Play Services with Google Play Store.

While the distribution of mass might quickly redistribute itself into a toroidal formation, internally, I think that area of effect (the fuzzy red zone in the diagram) would probably be pretty opaque to visible light. For a period of time, a gas cloud like that would probably have a really interesting appearance.

I'm imagining that, as the hot gases cool off, and condense onto floating debris, the molten/solid debris field will probably look pretty nebulous, and then settle into unstable bands. At that point, I figure the torus shape would be very apparent.

Once the hot gases were gone, I bet it probably took a while for the rest of the debris to get swept up into decaying orbits, and impact on either body (earth/moon).

If they could visualize it with a simulation, it'd probably be fun to watch, and tweak the parameters of the event.
Yeah, I'm very happy with newsblur, and sure it's got things about it I'd want changed, I'm going to keep giving them money for a long time.
Personally I really like the new Draytek models (like the 2925 and 2860 series). Lots of nice features like central access point management (Draytek APs only) and central VPN management to configure remote Draytek routers are great features on top of fail-over/load balanced multi- WAN and even a model with built-in LTE modem as a WAN link. They're intended for always-on/highly reliable situations. You can even pair 2 units into an HA cluster.

They're very popular in Europe but oddly never seem to have had the same impact in North America, although you can find them if you look around a bit.

They did do a linux based variant at one point but switched back to their custom rolled OS a couple of years back. Not sure of the story there or if it's possible to do a custom firmware. There was something on google code at one point.
I what thinking about that the other day. Programmers are in the business of transforming data.

It's just finding the easiest method to do so.
We censor censorship cause censorship is bad
I've learned plenty (and changed my mind many times) from having people simply tell me that I'm wrong.
Could you unpack this a little bit.
The marketing site is really bad.

Here's a little feedback.

As a shareholder, I get that not everything in research will be profitable... but I don't see how you'll be successful with this -- I don't see any ROI.

I've played with the application and in the cases that you've showcased, yes... if you have a light source behind people when taking a picture, the picture won't look great. You've come up with some clever software that helps that I guess? Playing around with it... it sure didn't do anything amazing when I was taking pictures of my dogs, and it didn't help me take better selfies -- I'll have to wait until tomorrow to test it on people.

As of right now I'm really scratching my head what the value of this is.

I know that's hard to hear, and I know it takes courage to post on Hacker News... but really guys, you're Microsoft. Figure out what you're trying to do, and put adequate resources into it. This WordPress site is pretty amateur... a flat image with text you can't read on a phone to advertise the benefits of a mobile app? No guys, that's just really really bad.

Do you not take pride in your work? Or were you rushed? Either way, why are you posting something half-baked here? You've got resources most companies on here would only dream of.
Why Gov. Brown's plan to stem the housing crisis failed
This isn't about myopic security recommendations. These are just plain bad defaults and a failure to manage tech debt. No one that "knows what they are doing" wants to accept these risks and addressing them doesn't hurt users. Fixing these problems is totally realistic.
The way you imagine productivity works like that. The past is funny, because it seems like that way worked for us and so it should be good enough for anyone.

As I watch my kids using iPads regularly, I realize they don't really know anything at all about a 'desktop' or why its so complicated. We can argue well they need to learn how a computer works, its important etc etc. Maybe they don't for the most part and could just build on top of our knowledge base to get to the next place. We are the old people telling kids to get off our lawn.

>but poor senior engineers

By the time the bootcamp junior reaches the senior level he/she would have already accumulated 5+ years of experience. That experience surely negates most benefits gained from a degree.

it's not like the bootcamp grad will still only know one specific stack by the time they reach senior. Any CS knowledge initially lacking should be acquired through experience and self-teaching by then..

That may be true, but diabetes rates have spiked in the US (and in every country that adopted a Western diet) during the 20th century even though our genetics haven't changed.

That points to the proximate cause being the change in diet, which means we should figure out 1) what changed in our diet and 2) which change led to obesity.
That's an exceptionally revisionist history.

Please provide a reference to your comment about where robots are used completely unsupervised in surgery so we know the comparison is similar. The marketing message from autonomous car makers is that you can not only take your hands off the wheel and your eyes off the road, but also that you can put your full attention to a completely different task.

I think Amtrak uses cellular connections to the outside internet. Depending upon the part of the country, there is a good chance that the weak point is their link to the cellular network.
Not really sure the numbers make the point you're suggesting they do.

The "Classic" Mac OS UI developed incrementally over about 15 years, in a mostly evolutionary process. Even Platinum wasn't an especially dramatic change except in the context of that conservatism. But over the product's lifespan, it represented significant improvements.

Over about the same amount of time, OS X has ping-ponged around, undergoing a series of major reskins, without much in the way of consistent direction. It seems to be a lot of change-for-change's-sake, and it's not clear to me as a user throughout the entire period that the end result now, in 2016, is all that much better than where we started out back in 2000.

Apple's had nearly as much time with OS X's Aqua UI as they had to take the Classic interface from its start (512x342 1-bit pixels on the 128k) all the way to Platinum, and the results are not exactly impressive.
I'm assuming that's their point.
Did you watch Heavy papi new video lol
Thinking about it you make it a good point. How you do it is "central" but much less of single point of failure than something like LDAP. It would require a pretty contrived scenario to go undetected for an extended period that could be slightly more likely depending on how often you rotate keys. It would be nice if OpenSSH supported CRLs.
Almost nobody is using Bill Joy's vi and most systems don't have it. They might have a symlink to vim named 'vi'.

Church of Haskell
It seems like a large number, but at Google's scale it might actually be rather small. Google is a large company, and each product is something that takes resources that could be better spent somewhere else. I don't expect Honda or Ford to keep around a car that only sells a few thousand a year, knowing that it requires continual work and refinement, space in their plants to build, space on the lots to sell, and a business strategy. I don't expect Google to act any differently.
I think the whole reason "first tell them how they are right, then how they are wrong" works is that most people are irrational.

Also very rarely do beliefs exist in isolation. They're usually a part of a framework or ideology. Seeing that greater context, I would imagine, helps to empathize with the other party's POV.

I agree that NewsBlur is very good. I spent a while on Feedly, then moved to NewsBlur a year or two later and found it much more configurable and fitting with how I like to use my feeds. I started giving them money shortly after that.

I see the argument about the page size potentially being large relative to the size of a jitted function. But,

> modifying a memory mapping is very expensive

It used to be true that operations on memory mappings were appallingly expensive. However, the advent of virtualization has driven a significant change in performance. IIRC, ARMv8 has a TLB invalidation operation that is per-entry, addressed by the virtual address being invalidated. You don't need to flush the entire TLB cache.

Agreed. In a way, I see both of those people as sides of the same coin, but probably at different stages in their career. Does that make any sense?
I have found programmers to be far more receptive to blunt criticism than my other non-programmer friends. I think it's just a frame of mind to accept that will be wrong a lot and that is fine.

It would take a whole lot of cognitive dissonance to get through a decent sized software project and imagine it is all flawless or couldn't be even slightly better in some way.
Often people are not as irrational as you'd think. It's just they only connect the dots one or two at a time. So, much of the knowledge they already have is not questioned. More often than not people appear to be irrational because they have learned something that is either false or perhaps true but very different to a false belief you hold. They appear irrational when assessing the same situation as you but arriving at different conclusions, because they are holding to a very different set of assumptions. People (my self included) are not very good at being aware of our underlying assumptions.

I guess that is being irrational given that you are not taking all the assumptions into account, but it's the level of rationality that most people operate at.

However if your talking about an emotionally charged situation, yeah rationality be damned emotions are running that show.
Look at the linked mailing list thread. It wasn't rejected, there were several adjustments for coding conventions, naming, etc and the last thing Bram mentioned was basically "we'll consider it".
