I know me and a lot of other parents with young kids probably wouldn't go with this. Our cars are stocked with a diaper bag, stroller, some books, a few car-friendly toys and a stroller. If I had to haul all that in the house everyday, it'd be a pain in the ass. If the car never 'parked', that'd be a pain in the ass because I'd be hauling it into wherever we'd go...if I was shopping I'd need a shopping cart just for that stuff. Then when our 2nd kid comes around and I have to work but my tiny wife had to haul our two boys around, there's no way that'd be possible.

Autonomous cars may be the future, but it'll be decades before not owning a car really takes off. Maybe for single people or couples without kids it will be possible, or those times you don't have the kids, but for the rest of us it's just not feasible.

The detail was right there: debugging something in security caused massive logging which caused CPU bottlenecking.

Performance is the hardest thing to integration test for. Keeping careful track of CPU/memory/network/disk load with automated alerts can help.

(Fancy systems like running a traffic replica can help, too, but at a much higher cost.)
Actually, I was thinking of making it myself to learn more about mobile apps as it's been awhile since I made my first and only.

Though, as I looked into Phabricator I realized it was very extensive, and I was surprised and very curious why a mobile app didn't exist. I thought maybe there was a reason I didn't understand yet.
As Fredphophile pointed out, you're fundamentally wrong about sensor size importance. There are only so many photons hitting a given surface area unit. Smaller sensor size means more noise. You can't fight physics.

I'm not particularly bullish on lensless cameras either. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect those to meet modern quality standards in a small form factor for a long time.
Minors shoot and kill people all the time, too. In US culture and jurisprudence, we tend to weigh heavily factors that diminish offenders capacity to distinguish right from wrong, and teenagers have both diminished judgement and impulse control capabilities that are at their lifetime low.

We generally try, at least ostensibly, to recognize that long sentences serve no practical purpose when applied to someone who will in just a few years be for many purposes a biologically different person.

Microsoft released the Anniversary Update to Windows 10, but increased the free space requirement needed to install the update to exceed what’s possible on devices with only 32GB

I often wonder whether we have completely lost any notion of how big storage devices have become or how much data is required to do something, because 32GB is still extremely huge to me. Thirty-two billion bytes. It perplexes me what Windows would need that much space for, and whether most of it is actually really necessary. I suppose it could be a case of "little things add up".

I really wish people would put more effort into differentiating which form of diabetes they were talking about, because they aren't all the same. Type 1 and type 2 are only superficially similar. And now Alzheimer's is being called diabetes type 3.

As a parent of a type 1, it's hugely frustrating to be reading an article on diabetes, only to discover they are talking about type 2 when I'm half way through it.

Wanted to share a computer science resource a couple of us in the HCI group at Brown have put together.
It’s a crowd-editable spreadsheet of data of ~3,600 computer science professors. For example, where they got their degrees, subfield of expertise, their join year and rank, etc...

It might be useful if you’re applying to Ph.D. programs or faculty positions, seeking external collaborators, or just to better understand hiring trends in CS departments.

For me music works only when I am in what I call "mechanical mode" i.e. when all the thinking etc is done and I am only left with doing code review, refactoring, cut paste rearrangement, comment editing etc. Sometimes it gets distracting even then but that usually means I haven't reached the mechanical mode yet.

Anyway, I have a set of songs that I turn to specifically for what you call 'working music'. These songs generally have a broody, even melancholic, feel laced with trance or psychedelic like aspects and there are no sharp rises or falls. In other words, these songs quickly drift into the background and won't interfere, even when they have lyrics. I play these at the lowest possible volume where I can just about hear them, almost as if they are coming from a concert a many kilometers away. And oh, this is my home office routine, not a workplace thing, as I like to hear songs from speakers and not headphones due to the concert thing. And this is usually an after 10.30 pm affair. And of course, played in a loop.

The main songs are these: Russian National Anthem, Israel National Anthem, Dexter Soundtrack - (Blood Theme, Wink), The Last of The Mohicans - I'll find you, Tom Petty - Last Dance with Mary Jane, Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower, Chris Isaak - Wicked Game, Doves' (Blue Crush soundtrack Firesuite, Rise, Here It Comes), Niel Young - Southern Man, Bob Dylan - Knocking on Heaven's Door, JJ Cale (Magnolia, The Sensitive Kind, Crying Eyes), House Soundtrack - Teardrop, Die Toten Hosen - Ich bin die Sehnsucht in dir (German), some country songs too.

Really? Coming from PGSQL to a MySQL-only shop made me really miss PGSQL's performance. Sure, MySQL is faster on `select pk from tbl where pk=1`, but the second you get into complicated joins, including subqueries, or doing any analytics the performance is very random.

With pgsql, I can get a clear concise explain and if I disagree with what's happening (because I know exactly what my hardware is capable of) I can tune any query to be decently performant.

With mysql, you get... I mean explain is ok, but I wouldn't put it above that. "EXPLAIN ANALYZE" is my gold standard forever and ever. I even liked it more than SQL Server's equivalent; which is also fantastic.

This was exactly my thought. It's also possible to create new URLs leading to the same resource through e.g. a link shortener like Bitly or a proxy service. Pushing this further, would something that is not itself a URL but from which the URL could be recovered, e.g. a hash of the URL, be in violation? Is it transitive, such that a URL from one page linking to another page with the original offending link is also in violation? I'm not a lawyer but this ruling seems to open the floodgates.
Design Your Way to a Happier Life
Right - and even without any shades, there are places where I can't see at all the light that permits vehicles to cross my path.

For instance, if I'm crossing the road here
https://goo.gl/maps/favpGxyKTLk (this is on my daily cycle commute)

there is no way for me to know when there is a green arrow light for vehicles that come from opposite direction and turn left (and therefore come my way).

The buttons requesting green man for pedestrians and cyclists is, btw, known here as "humiliation button" (because it forces cyclists to stop; there is automatic detection for motor vehicles on the driveway, but for pedestrians and cyclists they haven't found a reliable way to do it).
> Spending power around the world varies by several orders of magnitude. If there's one "world price" for a crop, that price will be incredibly cheap for rich countries and incredibly expensive for poor ones. Agricultural poor countries will not be able to afford the food they grow.

This is just bad economics. If food is "incredibly cheap" for rich countries, and agricultural poor countries are unable to afford the food they grow, then the prices will rise. Humans can't survive without food.
We actually have a traffic replica (dark client) setup for the new webserver architecture we are gradually migrating to. It likely would have caught this before deploying to users.

Without knowing the level of automation and unique data associated with the records stored within the first ESP it is not fair to cast blanket judgement.

Having migrated ESPs and selected/on boarded new ones, vendor lock in can be a major concern and headache. This is due to all of the automations you add, performance data, audience segmentation data, etc. Often, particularly for business users, this can be in a proprietary format locked inside the platform.

If for example, your entire welcome onboarding flow is locked away like this, you need to be very careful not to disrupt a major touch point in your funnel or you risk losing very real dollars.

Email platform transition/setup and management at scale with any complexity is one form of hell i hope most people never get subjected to.

If you take a look at the data, I tested the database in cross-az functionality as well. Still better reports than what Google has shown in their benchmark. The only thing I can gather is they were testing from an instance on Google's platform.
iPod was a initially a failure. Only when they created iTunes it became successful.

It is strange to think that a piece of software lots of people hate so much was so decisive in turning around Apple.
I think the rare earth mines that tried starting up again were promptly driven under by China. For example, Molycorp (which started up production at the Mountain Pass mine in the US) was driven into bankruptcy a year ago soon after reaching full production. Not a bad deal for China at all - they got an almost decade-long monopoly on manufacturing using rare earth metals, which they can probably continue now, and those that tried to break their monopoly suffered massive losses.

"grab a new kernel" he said, after dhclient & mount. Using dhclient hints that he's grabbing it over the network. I can't remember if bsd.rd ships with ssh (it probably doesn't) so ftp it is. But usb ought to work too.

I'm all for investment in nuclear but it would take a really bloody colossal nature preserve. The Chernobyl exclusion zone is only 2,600 km^2 but about 3,900,000 km^2 of Europe - about 40% of it's total land mass - was contaminated with caesium-137 after that disaster and about 2% of Europe was contaminated to 'high' levels. Even as far away as the UK there are restrictions on hundreds of farms related to that radiation.

Ask HN: Resources on how to build internal/enterprise tools?
There is a lot of attention given to consumer facing tools and how to build an MVP for that market segment. But what if your customer is internal (or a known enterprise)? Are there any good resources that discuss strategies on building these tools?

It seems like there is a lot of knowledge out there, as every company I have worked for has teams for internal tooling -- but very little public or communal knowledge.

Perhaps it's because the problem isn't as "sexy" as consumer tooling and products?
I don't understand why Europe and the US expend so much money and energy upholding the very laws that allow the big players like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Starbucks to evade taxes. The whole notion of 'intellectual property' seems purpose built to evade taxation. How are these governments funding these cases? With taxes. Taxes not paid by those who are benefiting most from these laws. It's a negative feedback loop. The more they spend, the more they ensure it is a winner take all scenario, and the more the winner will avoid paying taxes.
I'm likely to get flak for this, but i keep finding that the difference between the left and right is in degree rather than kind...
It not the kind of thing that would happen suddenly, but gradually. A little change here, a little change there and after 10 years, its changed a lot.

All it would take is the right political climate and circumstances, combined with ad campaigns and lots of lobbying. Many arguments would be put forth to convince people a minor change is a good thing, that due to the current circumstances, its necessary. Many people would likely agree, despite the risk it opens up the potential for the system to be abused with another minor change in the future. And its voted through by popular demand.

A few years later, the political climate changes and the government isn't perhaps as trustworthy/predictable as it might have once been.

Now of course it could go the other way. However, power creep rarely goes backwards.

The article makes no mention of repeated measurements or a time period over which the subjects were studied. There's evidence of an association, but I see no evidence that exposure to air pollution causes diabetes. It might have been more effective had they studied these people longitudinally.

One confounding factor is that homes which are in direct proximity to high-traffic areas are cheaper than homes which aren't. The price factors in the noise pollution from the road, which also likely correlates with air pollution. It would be interesting to see what the relationship is between pre-diabetes and income, because I think that that's actually the relationship they're seeing.

We do know that poor air quality has detrimental impacts on the body, though, so I could be wrong.
> but why are they still using CVS

If it works, why not. I can state one reason: change for change's sake isn't fun.
>Why is it always an external failure rather than an internal one whenever a media outlet of some kind screws up?

I don't believe that is the case, and the question is not pertinent to (or alluded by) what I wrote so I am not qualified to answer it.

I merely pointed some historical developments behind less good news coverage.

That doesn't absolve anyone of their responsibility -- neither the journalist that puts his name under a bad article, nor the people who are not willing to pay and award good content, but nevertheless complaint for its lack, as if the deserve it by birthright.

In other words: you get what you paid for (and the corollary: you only have a right to complain for what you paid for).

You want to replicate as much as possible, but if we ran canary on the same machines we could have testing code bring down production. That's bad.
The fastest smartphone CPU was last year's chip from Apple. The old Apple chip just got beaten by the new Apple chip which is 40% faster than second place--which is still the old Apple chip. Even if the camera stuff wasn't better in any proprietary way (it is), it still operates on the best chipset in the world by a huge margin.

So I guess if you're looking for a marketing gimmick in all this, you might say Apple's engineering dominance is a pretty good marketing gimmick. I mean, I can't really think of a better 'marketing gimmick' than designing better core technology, patenting it, and using it as a platform for launching other new tech that also contains better core technology. I'm even hesitant to call it a gimmick. It's more like... the actual way capitalism is designed to work.

Oh come on, what is this crap? You are talking about people like they're almost subhuman. People more more adaptable than that. Maybe not everyone, but at least some will take any advantage they get and put it to good use, and the rest will follow.

"Primitive" people are most likely smarter and harder working than you. Surviving off hunting is not easy - you have to know a lot about the environment you're in.

Also, historically many scientists were well off people who did it as a hobby. By this theory they should have done nothing with their lives.
