Look, I too accept Israel's legitimacy but it's hard to take for example people complaining about NPR as being biased against Israel when (as someone on HN put it) every Palestinian they seem to interview is always conceding they see the reason why Israel is doing <thing they're being interviewed about>. Does that sound like an interview of representative Palestinians to you? If it was, would the conflict be an issue?
That's a highly unlikely "if". I doubt they'll sell any logos for much more than $400, which averages "only" $146.66 per logo. That's pretty good one-off revenue if the logos were already finished, especially considering they can probably sell the remainders on the side for some extra cash, but it's probably not a sustainable business model.
There is no requirement that tax returns be kept secret during an audit. He could release the returns tomorrow. Nixon did it.
Just wanted to add that Christian Couder that is part-time on our team is working to integrate LFS into git itself to make it easier to use.
That's right! In fact, Aaron was used to provide the Platinum theme on Jeff Goldblum's character's PowerBook in Independence Day.
Even if it would be possible to fast track an audit, why should it ? The IRS has confirmed that there's no issue with publishing tax returns while being audited.

I want to hear that argument.
"Can anyone imagine Facebook deleting the posts of prominent Israelis calling for increased violence or oppression against Palestinians?"

The author is suggesting censorship is good and bad at the same time. ;)
There's no default utility for this. There's some sysctl values for the CPU and the GPU but they don't actually give you a temperature.

There's an API for this in IOKit. Easiest way I've found to get at it on the CLI is:

gem install istats
istats cpu temp | awk '{gsub(/[^0-9\.]/,"",$3);print $3}'

I'm not a gitlab employee or anything, but I'm curious: How is gitlab CI not flexible enough for you?

I mean, it basically just runs arbitrary docker containers. From my mostly amateur (when it comes to this, i'm a professional developer but I don't manage our CI system directly) point of view it seems like the gitlab CI is more flexible than jenkins not less.
Ask HN: Should you tell the story behind your work?
I am making a portfolio website to showcase my work to employers. After having written the stories behind each application, I noticed that the story is nowhere near as glamorous as the bullet points on my resume. For example, 60k downloads, 20k in sales, etc. sound way better than the story of you failing at a million things to get there.

Should I just show the bullets instead of the story?

> but thankfully we outgrew them.

Did you, really? Have you looked at the gay-bashing that Christians indulge in? Or how about actively encouraging the destruction of Palestinian property and removal (even murder) of Palestinians, simply because they believe that "Jesus" won't reappear unless all of Palestine is ruled by Jews??
You seem to very much understand Stay22's business and product ! Very impressed!

Haven't finished the article, but it boggles my mind how anyone would be afraid of Chinese competition because Apple copied wechat and removed the headphone jack second. The features they are talking about where available in most other messaging apps, notably Facebook messenger, ever since Line and other Korean [Edit: LINE is Japanese] apps introduced it (there may be an even earlier case, it has been around so long). Apple plays catch up from time to time, nothing new to see here. And removing the headphone jack is not innovation.

Will continue reading the article, but if this is what America thinks is innovation, that's the dangerous thing, not China.

Besides, I'm as patriotic as the next American, but if the Chinese start making better products and we start copying them for a change is that really a bad thing besides some jingoist pride? Letting Chinese companies foot the R&D bill in a few cases would certainly be cheaper. As long as we continue to attempt to compete, and don't throw our hands up because they had chat stickers before one of our American companies.
None of those situations are very comparable.

TV is paid on viewership numbers. Newspapers are paid on circulation. Gliding past ads on a site is factored into the CPM values. Books in a library are paid for and covered by the first-sale doctrine.

I have never trusted the ABP people. But this is not the "opposite of the expected purpose of the application." In fact ABP is working exactly as designed, by blocking other people's ads, and allowing ads that ABP profits from. From day one, the business model was shakedowns of large advertisers. This is just a slight evolution in technique.

why would you keep them secret during an audit? that just sounds like you are trying to scam the irs and don't want to accidentaly release anything that could expose you.
I disagree. See the Stack Overflow model: https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2016/02/why-stack-overflow-do...
Correct, that's a detail I'd left out for simplicity.

End of year: That's your P60 + end of year payslip, isn't it? PAYE overcharging is certainly possible when you change jobs if you lose the P45 or end up on an emergency tax code for some reason, but if you take the 30 seconds to check your payslip every month you're more likely to notice.

What's more messy is the tax credit system. I hear that the way to maximise tax chaos for yourself is to have two self-employed divorced parents alternating custody of a child every month and claiming WFTC.
Moreover, despite the author's continued invocation of the term "cryptographic hash", SIPHash was designed to be a default hash table hash. Very few things use it as a standalone cryptographic hash. You don't see a lot of SIP-based KDFs.

It's not the fastest general purpose hash --- but it's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be performant enough to be used as a default, and in being a default, it's supposed to take a pretty common attack off the table.

It's the right default. In the rare situations where container hashing winds up high on the profile, the faster hash should be the optional hash.
I've pretty much done all the steps you've listed. My problem now is how to get those build docker images onto servers somewhere.

This is a conflict of values between users and the devs.

- Users want ads to just go away, period, the end.

- The devs want ads to be nice. So they swat down the nasty ones and permit the nice ones.

Ransomware was probably the wrong way to do that, but I can see why it was superficially appealing. "We check your ads for niceness, and then permit them. We won't give our effort away for free", being the idea behind it.

Well, for one thing, this isn't even attempting an objective comparison. The article basically grabs whatever third party benchmark numbers are available and pretends all the metrics are comparable. In many cases, the external benchmarks are testing entirely different things, so it's meaningless to give those numbers in a "review" of all the options.

It's really just a "top ten list according to my arbitrary thoughts", which is fine. But it's not really a useful comparison at all.
As others have pointed out, the audit excuse is just that -- an excuse. It holds so little water that others have done it while in office (Nixon released his tax returns while they were under audit in 1973).
The reference creates the law.
That's a fair point. The wealth inequality is high because a lot of people rent rather than buy housing and because savings are less important with the Danish level of cradle-to-grave government services. A lot of things that you would need savings for in other countries come in the form of welfare services instead.
Someone also mentioned that Nim should be in this list. I wonder if anyone has a good description of that one.

This is a very interesting pricing model. As the supply decreases the equilibrium price is forced to rise regardless of demand. Also interesting that theoretically worse logo options are what's left at a higher price in the end. Could put pressure on buyers to just settle and go with something.
Here's my anecdote. The fans on my MacbookPro12,1 spin up to annoying levels if I even watch a YouTube video.
This is also the purpose of using DNS management like Umbrella from OpenDNS, which has been serving me very well. It catches most malware sites, and I can add in my own whitelist, blacklists. I did get a bit overzealous and add a cdn once that caused a ruckus, but besides that, one by one blocking ad networks based on which ones generate the most traffic is not only keeping my bandwidth cleaner but makes parsing through dns logs much easier.
And I respectfully disagree. I don't enjoy ads, I never click on them even if the item is something I'd use at the time, I will not click on it. I'll just go to amazon or whatever and get it there. I will never, ever click on an ad. So I'd rather not even see them.

"...if they allow the public to view their content, they cannot dictate how the content is viewed..."

You could not be more wrong. I am having a hard time imagining any art installation, public park, etc., that does not have rules about how you use and consume it. Offering something to the public does not mean the method of consumption is suddenly a free-for-all.

This is a ridiculous assumption that gets played out here a lot. There is an agreed-upon trade taking place - you get to consume content, they get to advertise to you. If you don't like the terms, you should avoid engaging in the transaction.

I do believe that tracking your activity borders on an illegal invasion of privacy, and so I support blocking trackers. If trackers come disguised as ads, they should be blocked. That said, trackers are most often invisible, and a person is unable to make a decision about the agreement at hand. There, the transaction is unfair. Ads however, are immediately clear, and make the value proposition very easy to understand.

Take movies, for example. You used to buy a ticket, and watch a movie. Then theaters started running commercials (not previews) before a film. I stopped going to theaters that run commercials. I understand that previews are also commercials, but I've made an informed decision about which types of transactions I'm willing to engage in with theaters.

The same should go for websites. I'm very happy to be passively advertised to in exchange for content. (Same happens on TV while watching football on the weekends - I've accepted the transaction.) Ads that auto-play videos with audio turned on? Absolutely not. And so sites that do that have become sites I don't visit.

So, I am all for sites refusing to provide content without a value exchange. I remain against illicit collection of private information without consent.

Edit: the down-votes are silly. Try engaging in conversation instead.
Funny, but the subtitles are obviously fake.
Yes, this is primarily a neat marketing idea, surprising that HN seems to have collectively missed this so far! Guess the hive mind is having an off day.
I like all the guesses on which company “Scaling R Us” represents. My guess is RightScale.
There's an easier metric. "If your hotspot cost less than 150$, it's probably crappy".
I agree with an acceptable ads program. It shouldn't be an ad blocker running it, not if it's monetized. Paid access onto the acceptable ads list is the reason I stopped using ABP in the first place; this just put the nail in the coffin.
Cute idea. Note that it was just changed to go up by $20 per logo sold, but that still doesn't really solve the economic problems posed by some of the comments.

From the article, it sounds like they record every single innocuous interaction. The city portion of Charleston is fairly small, confined to a small peninsula. Given the small size and not-so-large population, there are actually quite a few well-known bums in the town that one would just run into every day or so walking to and from work, usually in one of the major areas of the city. So imagine if you've got cops working the streets, it's totally conceivable that one or more officers run into one of those guys several times a day.
If the machine is on the verge of melting already, it's likely just going to hard-shutdown below the OS level.

All this could really open them up to is a hard-shutdown, and I imagine they would have implemented this as a higher threshold, not a complete disable -- at least, it seems like a really easy problem to foresee and circumvent.
If this happens, do I get benefits on the debt I've already paid off? I would be pretty pissed if I didn't. I worked my ass off to pay my loans.
Community policing. Beat cop. 1 a day is even possible. You should be alarmed if such cases stop being outliers and start approaching the mean i.e. papers please.
> The thought of the little [things] is what still makes me stick with OS X.

This rubs me the wrong way because it's a vicious (positive, I guess) cycle. You keep buying iPhones, they stockpile billions in cash, and they can "think of the little things" (which is really just "How can we make OS X more like iOS and less suitable for power users?").

It's sad... but I can't imagine anyone taking the time to hack this together on their *nix laptop, and even if they did, it's not likely to be portable until a handful of other tinkerers donate their time. This will bring the downvotes, but the way we're stuck on Apple these days is far worse than the MS lock-in we revolted about in the 90s.
Using a .pizza domain and using "Hot & Ready" in the tagline might make the casual consumer think these are logos made out of pizza, or are on pizza with cheese in the shape of a logo, or would have to do with pizza in general.
AFAIK most systems have an emergency shutoff anyway, so if it gets too hot, the machine simply powers off. At least, my old desktop did.
Yes, of course your anecdote is true and the poll the headline is based on must be lying. My own personal anecdote is that everyone around me thinks the tax level is appropriate and that they are sad whenever the government wants to lower taxes.
It's not a bug. Interfaces are reference types. In this case, the interface is implemented by a pointer type. The interface can be thought of as a pointer to a nil pointer, but the "interface pointer" itself is not nil.

This is a tricky concept until you learn that interfaces are reference types.

Here's a simplified version of the previous example that illustrates this concept: https://play.golang.org/p/pODBgaHXq5
My work paid for the 2.8 ghz upgrade on my macbook pro 15". When doing video chat in chrome it scales up one of the cores to max and heats up quickly making the fans run at max after 10-15 min.

My older macbook pro 15" with the stock CPU doesn't get as hot and the fans run much less on that one.
It's such a weight off of the shoulders to have paid my wife and my student loans off a few months ago. Instead of the 20 or 30yr plan we put every extra dollar towards it and paid it off in 3.5 years. It feels fantastic! It's bizarre that student debt has become the norm and students who have potentially low-earning majors such as History are still given similar amounts of money from banks as a CS major.
I like the idea of a website listing a lot of logos, me scrolling through them and picking something I need.

But I wish new logos would be added continously, priced separately, and definitely price increase on something that did not sold in the past is ridiculous. :D

I feel that your attempt at summarizing my comment falls far short of the mark in many ways; not only was that not the entire meaning of my comment, it is not only its main point, and in fact it is not even among the things my comment said. In fact, it is mysterious to me how you could read that into what I wrote, to the point that it tempts me to question your sanity.
> I'm as patriotic as the next American, but if the Chinese start making better products and we start copying them for a change is that really a bad thing

No, it would be a great thing. Competition is always good, that is practically an axiom of capitalism. I expect serious competition to enhance R+D, not diminish it. No CEO buys back shares or increases dividends when they have a serious competitor. They pour money into R+D, new equipment and strategic acquisitions.

It is always amazing to me when politicians say they "regret" an action, or "take responsibility" for a vote (see Clinton's statements on Iraq since 2014).

What does it even mean, apart from lip service to those who disagree with their vote? Politicians don't hold personal responsibility for the fallout of their policies, so it is just rhetoric intended to neutralize your negative opinions of them.
If it's impossible to reverse the tide, what if this could become a database of innocence instead of a database of guilt?

Instead of cops pulling over some poor innocent guy every few weeks because he has a suspicious looking beaten up car, instead the police computer would green flag the person. The records might show that:

1. CCTV shows the person has not been driving in the vicinity of any crime they might currently be looking for suspects in connection with

2. The person has been stopped before, but was not involved in any criminal activity. This prevents unintentional repeated harassment.

3. The person has no known associations with any people involved in criminal activity.

Just like Uber, we'd be glad people were recording feedback about us because it helps people get a ride even in a high crime area where taxis would be otherwise afraid or unwilling to service.
> The other popular self-balancing trees are good candidates as well (AVL and LLRB/Red-black). While they do essentially the same, they can have very different performance characteristics, and switching can influence the program’s performance vastly.

In what scenario would you prefer an RB-tree (or AVL tree) to a B-tree?

My understanding is that the performance characteristics of RB/AVL trees can mostly be described as "worse." Maybe insert speed? But in that case, you'd really prefer an LSM tree.

The author is also very confused about how hash table DoS attacks are protected. And what a cryptographic hash is. There are very fast non-cryptographic hash functions like xxHash (in fact, I thought siphash was much faster than 1GB/s, but I could be misremembering).
A lot of this article might be a matter of opinion, but the discussion on HashMaps seems to be outright false. The author has set up some kind of a double hashing strawman, when the actual implementation uses linear probing (which is the only kind of Robin Hood hash table anyone would implement today).

Heh, advertisers are getting what they deserve for ruining the internet. I worry it will escalate the arms race and ublock origin users like you and I will be affected, though I tend to avoid sites that are ad-heavy anyway.

As for being illegal? No idea, but Google are doing something similar - reducing the rank of sites that don't use Google as their source of advertising. More or less ;-)

Google frame it the same way as Adblock Plus - only sites with intrusive adverts are going to be punished, while those with Google adverts are wholesome and pure. But it is a very similar technique to AP. It's not quite the same, as the adverts are not blocked "merely" the whole site is downgraded in Google's search. Ouch.

Then there's Brendan Eich's Brave browser that follows exactly the same model as Adblock Plus. Remove sites' adverts and show Brave's in their place! It seems cheeky to me, but not sure what law it breaks. Is there are "don't be a jerk" law in the US? Maybe there should be :-)
