I also vote for "do what gitignore does". My plan is to add support for the new file name, deprecate .agignore, and update docs everywhere. But it'd be a while before I removed .agignore completely.

I really like .ignore, and I like it because it's generic. The information I want it to convey is:

> Dear programs,

> If you are traversing this directory, please ignore these things.

Of course, some programs could still benefit from having application-specific ignore files, but it'd cut down on a lot of cruft and repetition.

There were only two bombs ready, and they were just barely beyond prototypes, if I recall correctly.

There's also "recorded history".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943
Approximately 3 million people died due to famine .... Although food production was higher in 1943 compared to 1941,[3] due to the British Empire taking 60% of all harvests and ordering Bengal to supply a greater proportion of the food for their army

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_of_1876–78
he death toll from this famine is estimated to be in the range of 5.5 million people. .... during the famine the viceroy, Lord Lytton, oversaw the export to England of a record 6.4 million hundredweight (320,000 ton) of wheat

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bengal_famine_of_1770
The famine is estimated to have caused the deaths of 10 million people .... The (British East India) Company had conquered the area just six years previously f... It destroyed large areas of food crops to make way for the growing of indigo plants for dye and opium poppies for the production of psychoactive drugs. It increased the tax on agricultural produce from 10% to 50%, transferring much of Bengal's wealth to the company's shareholders. The stockpiling of rice was also outlawed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orissa_famine_of_1866
In Odisha alone, at least 1 million people, a third of the population, died in 1866, and overall in the region approximately 4 to 5 million died in the two-year period ... The fact that during the Orissa famine India exported more than 200 million pounds of rice to Great Britain even while more than one million succumbed to famine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_famine_of_1896–97
it is thought that in the British territory alone, between 750,000 and 1 million people died of starvation....
Although the famine in the Madras Presidency was preceded by a natural calamity in the form of a drought, it was made more acute by the government's policy of laissez faire in the trade of grain.[8] For example, two of the worst famine-afflicted areas in the Madras Presidency, the districts of Ganjam and Vizagapatam, continued to export grains throughout the famine

Ask HN: How might a businesses benefit from using regular expressions?
I am taking part in a technical writing certificate program. As part of my work, I am required to create a whitepaper outlining some specific benefits of implementing our assigned topic. Frankly, I am a bit jealous of those people in the class assigned things like fusion power or robotics - since the benefits seem more immediately obvious - but that is neither here nor there.

So, I am reaching out to HN as a sort of hive-mind SME[1] to help me better direct my own research.

What are some interesting and beneficial ways that a company in any industry implement the use of regular expressions? I'm especially interested in cases where they might have been implemented, but weren't, to somebody's detriment (if such a thing has ever happened).

[1]Subject Matter Expert
I know that it's (now) a known bug... unfortunately it wasn't known when it happened to me, and I'd long since replaced it when I found out.
I'm not conscious of doing so, though I often subvocalize when reading. You can try humming (vibrating/pulsing the voice box area) or listening to brainwave entrainment audio to lower the amount of subvocalization. Brainwave entrainment audio should also help you better concentrate/focus and relax.

I disagree with the author. Before you go upgrading into ed25519, beware that the NSA/NIST is moving away from elliptical curve cryptography because it's very vulnerable to cracking with quantum attacks[0].

"So let me spell this out: despite the fact that quantum computers seem to be a long ways off and reasonable quantum-resistant replacement algorithms are nowhere to be seen, NSA decided to make this announcement publicly and not quietly behind the scenes. Weirder still, if you haven’t yet upgraded to Suite B, you are now being urged not to. In practice, that means some firms will stay with algorithms like RSA rather than transitioning to ECC at all. And RSA is also vulnerable to quantum attacks."

Stick with the battle tested RSA keys, which are susceptible but not as much as ECC crypto. 4097 or even better 8192-bit lengths.

There's no perceptible user benefits to using ed25519 and it's not even supported everywhere. Also you won't have to rotate all of your keys when workable quantum computers start crackin' everything.

LOL! nice try obama.

more security with a private key that is only 68 characters! and they claim that is a benefit because of all the copy and pasting you do... you know... because it's so much harder to copy and paste twice as many characters. select all, ctrl-c... OH NO!

and yet it's brute force safe! you know... because making the keyspace smaller by orders of magnitude makes brute force... harder?

elliptic curves! you mean like the last try the NSA did to weaken the privacy of everyone? let me guess... the arbitrary coefficient is 777 again? JACKPOT! WE OWN ALL THE IDIOTS.

In Japan Hundreds of Thousands of Young People Are Refusing to Leave Their Homes
It illustrates nothing of the sort. Some simple numbers.

Suppose that the 65% of poor adults who aren't in the labor force decided to enter into such an arrangement. Then 3 of them would work (or look for work) while the 4'th watched their children. The labor force participation rate of the poor would increase from 35% to 83.75%.

Can you name any piece of evidence or measurement which would cause you to believe the poor are not hardworking? Or is your doubt more religious in nature?

I agree about simpler, durable, repairable appliances. Eg, http://www.jamesdysonaward.org/projects/lincrevable/

One important aspect is to ditch the electronic interface (buttons, LCD, etc), since it's often the weak point, both for durability and usability.

But IMHO you still need electronic control, for function/efficiency (timers, complex wash cycles, PID temperature control, dirt sensors, etc, etc), as well as usability.

However the UI should be replaced with a single on/off button, and bluetooth; the complex interface becomes a smartphone app or web page, which can be upgraded, hacked, and is in any case much more usable than LCDs, buttons and poorly designed constricted UI. And if there were a few cheap (super-mass-produced) general-purpose standard controller boards in use, rather than each manufacturer/model having a custom board, then repair/replacement of the electronics would be easy too.
I don't know. If I were self employed, and you buy a thing from me, is that your consumption (taxed) or my income (untaxed)? This stuff is complicated.

... thinking about it further: A truly crazy idea would be a consumption tax that is based on the income of the seller, to keep it from being regressive. Things from rich people are more expensive as a result, providing a nice anti-monopoly, anti-inequality balance. Now I want everyone to poke holes in why it would fall apart.

> I am apparently becoming extremely unpopular in these circles for expressing this opinion

To be really clear: I don't think your opinion is necessarily the problem. When I first read your comment, I typed up a response that I wasn't proud of. It wasn't nice because your comment wasn't nice. I had to step away from the computer and take a moment to put things back into focus to give you the response I did. It wasn't easy.

And really, my reaction to your comment had nothing to do with your opinion that we should try to collaborate more. That's a completely reasonable thing to hope for. But some of the things you said, or implied (about me personally), were really way way off, and I personally found them pretty insulting.

I get that you took my blog post as combative, so maybe you think the same about me. But you didn't ask for clarification, you just kind of dove right into the insults and assumptions and bad faith, and personally, I think that is just a really awful way to interact with other humans.

It's clear that we have different valuations on how to spend our time, and I really don't appreciate your implicit condescension. I also don't appreciate you telling me how I should spend my time. My free time is precious, and I want to spend it doing the things I find interesting. I don't want to work on a legacy code base, in C and spend enormous social resources pushing on one of the most established C projects in existence to switch to a new programming language. That does not sound like fun to me, and I want to work on something fun in my free time. `ripgrep` happened to be it. (N.B. Fun is not the only criterion, but it's a big one.)

> but a really important aspect of open source was about people collaborating towards a common effort to build high quality software

I've spent a huge portion of my free time in the past 2.5 years contributing to the Rust ecosystem. If that's not collaborating towards a common effort, then I don't know what is. `ripgrep` itself is barely a blip in that effort. All the stuff that went into building `ripgrep` that is freely available as other libraries? Yeah, that took a while.
Sorry, it's hyperbole.
there's no conspiracy. just like-minded people who behave in consensus-seeking ways.
If you think a project is bad then you should be allowed to say so. I'm sure you have used a software tool that you have complained about despite the fact that it was open-source.

It's a bridge to far to directly attack people just for working on an open-source project, but the creator of this project did not do that, obviously.
>And of course, the bottom line is that these bombings worked. All else is speculation.

The imminent USSR invasion from the north played a significant part in the calculus of Japan's surrender. Too often the use of nuclear weapons alone gets credit, but there was a more complex political/diplomatic context surrounding _why_ they worked in the case.

Wasn't the reason to drop the bombs was to check Soviet expansion. Notably in destroyed Europe where the red army had amassed a huge force and the 1.5million manchurian offensive which was about to invade Japan on land , which it did August 9th 1945 right before the Japanese surrender
You should be able you express your own opposite political view in a proper manner, forcibly disturbing their business is not any different than some bigots doing the same to a black owned business. For the most part if some one puts a sign that says "no gays allowed" it should be handled through anti-discriminatory actions set by law.

A proper action in this case would be to contact the authorities, write an opinion letter to a newspaper, organize a town meeting.

That said there is a huge difference between individual political activity and involving groups and businesses.
I don't understand how people can call themselves liberal and effectively DOX people all the time and try to get them fired because they expressed a specific political view.

In this specific case I also find the fact that people claim that liking a post on twitter (a post in which BTW did not violate Twitter's own pretty strict anti-hate speech policy) is hate speech on its own to be quite disturbing, or amusing depending on your point of view.

But overall boycotts should ideally never be used in proper political discourse, they are antithetical to democracy, a boycott is the refusal to conduct a dialog, to hear any opposing opinion and to discuss things in a proper manner. It is effectively the "grown up" version of sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling nananananana I can't hear you.

Overall "Trump" to some extent is the outcome of the current political climate, there are many liberals that still hold true liberal values that are scared shitless of what the left is doing, they look to the alt and see crazy nut jobs, the alt right has been dubbed as "closet racists", and the center is pretty much deserted.
Partisanship and political extremism has pretty much taken over everything, and everything now is binary and almost bundled together if you don't support A+B+C you are X, and we hate X.

I really wonder what happened to the ideal of free speech and appreciating the fact that you can be "offended" and having your opinions challenged as a healthy sign of living in a pluralistic and free society.

I'm not going to claim that I am in my right mind all the time but I read Capital. Well, the main volume. In English. And I skimmed the others. I think it was worthwhile. I value the experience especially in light of how often the text is reinterpreted and cast off in the US without much attention to the text itself. If you dare try, this is site might be helpful. http://la.utexas.edu/users/hcleaver/357k/357k.html. Pro tip: don't start at the beginning of Capital. It's abstract and your eyes will glaze over. Start with Chapter 26, finish it out from there and then loop back.

If you have any RHEL machines, you might wanna keep an RSA (or ECDSA) key around. RHEL doesn't support Ed25519.

I haven't checked, but I presume this also goes for CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other derivatives.
I don't think the imperfect mapping between IP and user is the real problem with tracking down botnet controllers. You have a network of compromised hosts, and you can disguise yourself as one of them. There are lots of schemes for this sort of thing when you have a whole bunch of compromised machines under your control. For example, even if you made it illegal to run a Tor node, you could still just have your compromised network of hosts start running their own Tor (are you going to arrest all the people who just got a virus that starts a Tor network?) and you deliver commands from a hidden service. That's a huge effort on the part of society (banning Tor, implementing that, etc) that's easily circumvented.

In any case, like I said, you can't even get ISPs to do egress filtering of spoofed IPs, so even if it were going to solve DDoS, I don't think you'll get them on board for all the complications of implementing the protocols necessary and buying the equipment necessary to log all the traffic necessary to track down botnet controllers (who may be in a country where knowing who they are won't help you much anyway).
Why would you say that? The browser has become the most successful app platform ever built.
I'd add that it's entirely optional for anyone to take any job and this includes a start-up. If you want a regular job with regular hours with regular stress levels, then please, don't even bother looking at entrepreneurial employment opportunities.

But if you do, you might as well go all in and mix your salary with options, work your ass off for a couple of years, learn as much as you can, build a network, and then if it pays off, great. If it doesn't, don't have regrets that you "lost" a larger salary during that time. Be thankful for the opportunity.

Obviously some situations can unravel in a highly negative manner (the partners sell, but disavow all options, the partners fire you before paying out options to other employees, etc), but those are just normal risks in start-up land. Buyer beware.

But if I were actually in my twenties right now, I would bust my ass at a start-up, have a blast, kick-ass writing code, learn a shit ton of technology, and be grateful for the opportunity.
Anyone remember the Russian Proton Rocket failure of 5/15/2014?

Some may immediately judge me a twit for mentioning this, but it seems quite factual (and interesting to me) that in both instances (SpaceX and the Proton) an aerial object appears from the right and passes the rocket almost simultaneous to the malfunctions. If interested, please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdY1W9A2fbg - Set the vid to the highest resolution possible, slow the speed to 0.25, and look at the right-edge of the screen mid height at minute 1:22. A blurry object is seen approaching the rocket and upon direct proximity, the failure occurs, or seems to.

As stated, a similarly peculiar aerial object was spotted simultaneous to the Falcon 9 explosion.
Did Referly have a two sided marketplace? I knew Referly as a platform that allowed individuals (bloggers, authors, content marketers) to track the referral links that they themselves share.

I thought it was basically a database of referral programs where Referly was attempting to reach high enough volume to negotiate a rake from the company already offering that referral program. I never saw them offering to setup referral programs on behalf of companies.

edit: The answer to my question is: Yes. Not exactly what the top comment asked for but it was close. https://techcrunch.com/2012/07/23/referly-gets-more-social-l...
Please use periods at the end of sentences. This is Hacker News for crying out loud.
Did the UN report actually set out to rank countries by order of "greatness" or was that the mass media's contribution? The compilers of the report probably stated something like "based on criteria x,y and z which are based on data we obtained from organizations 1,2 and 3, or their equivalents, in countries around the world we ranked these countries from 1 to 100 (or whatever) according to their scores".

So...being #28 in the list doesn't mean that country is the 28th "greatest" country in the world. Obviously there exists no objective definition of "greatest" or "best" country/city/region in the world but every time I see that written somewhere I cringe a little. It could be my inner pedant but it's also because I know somebody will take this as meaning the researchers meant x country is THE greatest in the world and argue why this is, or is not, the case. Probably not so much on HN but preventative measures have been taken just in case.
