As a foreigner, I really don't get this attitude.

Hillary's a hawk, so let's support the obviously erratic, racist, bigoted, tax-dodging, incompetent, incoherent, sexually assaulting idiot who looks very much like a new Hitler and thinks if you win an election you get to lock up your opponents like a crazy third world state.

Boggles my mind that 'Murica' 'Freedom' can bring out such a petty, childish and obviously self destructive urge to vote for Trump.

What am I missing? Like with brexit, what the rest of the world seems to miss is the EU is a corrupt beuracracy with a privileged and out of touch political elite marching toward federalisation while deliberately ignoring it's citizens explicit wishes (I voted remain). Foreigners don't seem to report that, they portray the single market as somehow free, without a heavy cost and the British as inherently self destructive.

So what is it about Trump that's so compelling that is not reported to us? As the rest of the world is so horrified by this vile person, this demagogue. Why, America, why? How did he almost win? How did he even get 5% of voters?

>I also eventually got bored

Not really sure what you mean here, I choose a particular WM setup which best serves my workflow, and that's pretty much it, it's not as if you have to continously tweak your setup.

>This is yet another reason why GNU/Linux lost the desktop

Can't really see how it 'lost' the desktop, it never had it, nor was it ever in the runnning to claim it, same goes for OSX despite having a ton of product placement, straight up advertising and riding the huge wave of pro-Apple consumerism in the mobile space.

In short, I don't believe for a second that standardising on a particular UI would have made any difference in 'drawing the masses', if super wealthy Apple at it's prime couldn't, then neither would Linux.
Fedora/RISC-V should run on the lowRISC chips, but probably won't ever work on the embedded ones. We're targeting RV64G (64 bit RISC-V, with general purpose extensions) and given that it's a Linux server/desktop environment it also requires a fair amount of RAM.

We're not building any 32 bit binaries at all.
Both drone and lights last for about 10 minutes, according to the voice on the video (about 35 seconds in)
It always amuses me how short political memory is.

> At least Trump built houses and apartments for people. He didn't build his wealth by leveraging political power.

All he said during the primary was that he was leveraging political power by donations in the past and his selling point was being self-funded.

On top of that he didn't build his wealth. He inherited it while declaring bankruptcy several times along the way. He doesn't release his tax returns and has been involved in fraud multiple times eg. Trump university.

It escapes me how from your premises you conclude that the problem you identified, big finance, will be broken apart or regulated by Donald Trump.

Unbelievable.
HTTP is over. How are you securing your web and mobile apps?

>Thiel understands that should Clinton win, there will be war

Sounds like something you "understand". Clever little rhetorical trick though, similar to "it turns out that..".
水色 is blue. I have never seen ブルー being used.
I used to be a flash developer.

It's worth considering.
Why is this news when the fact Clinton received donations from major corporations, banks, and foreign governments isn't. It's like the media wants to paint a target on anybody openly supporting Trump.
Speaking as a Finn, the sort of hybrid/proxy warfare techniques Russia has employed against Ukraine and Georgia would not work in case of Finland. The closest thing we have to a separatist movement is probably some Ålanders who wouldn't mind if the island belonged to Sweden instead.
Looking forward to the day i can get a RISC-V board in a standard desktop format (or perhaps a de-facto standard like RPi).
Have you had a look to the finance world? Git for data seems to be something we in finance really need, especially the possibility of seeing all the changes and of reconciliating things.
From this discussion, I conclude that we are both way too good at being evil.
But but...that is what communism is about too, just with a different set of rights. Making "rights" some abstract thing means you end up saying nothing at all.
> That said, I haven't found anything worth leaving Emacs for.

Exactly. Every so often I try to make a half-hearted effort to move to a more moderen editor, or even an IDE, but for all its flaws even nothing comes close to Emacs. Vim is pretty good, but tries to do too many things it's not supposed to; for vi-style editors I prefer Nvi.
I use PiP all the time when watching televisions, I switch between channels during ads.

About always-on-top in Windows I'm pretty sure nVidia drivers had this options years ago? I discovered TurboTop recently, it does this one job and it's great: https://www.savardsoftware.com/turbotop/
My original though as well. But eventually I prefer the DNS resolver to just forward whatever the DNS server says.
Therefore, the issue can be said to lie in the DNS protocol.

But still, whatever the protocol, the browser is the program that does something privacy sensitive by basically being used as a remote code execution tool, and it should not trust whatever information from whatever source, including name resolution regardless of the protocol. Therefore the browser trusting DNS when something obviously shady is going on (such as a resource ip changing to 127.0.0.1) is a bug in the browser, I think.
I would feel safer, for instance, if the same origin policy would apply to the same TCP connection for instance, so that no amount of name or IP spoofing could work. Of course internet giants would not like it, but that would be their problem not mine, and really not so hard to solve.
$17k for a drone with 10min flight time? Ok, it can carry up to 20lbs which is quite impressive. [1]

I hope not. It's the only real choice on the front end.
Yep, and before the "FRA law" they were almost certainly already doing the same thing, just illegally.
Let's c, Republicans, voters and many others.
I'm curious as to whether these laws make a positive difference in practice.

If someone is truly racist/sexist/ageist then they could probably invent a lawful excuse for their hiring behaviour anyway. On the other hand, if they are rational then (a) they would already benefit from hiring these workers cheaply because the demand is lower, so they would win in the market, and (b) the discrimination laws would increase the expected cost due to the increased potential for lawsuits.

It reminds me of the recent Linux discussion about how lawsuits are poisonous to the community and cause companies to avoid participating. [1]

Does anyone have any empirical data on the actual outcomes of these laws?

Ask HN: Do you log your time at work?
At work we are required to log time spent on each JIRA task. I can see the value of it: it makes us better at estimating tasks, but it's quite a burden to do.

Some colleagues log time at a macro level: at the end of the day they enter what they did, based on what they remember. I believe this way of logging is not precise enough though because you can easily overlook time you spent on some tasks. For example I do a lot of reviews: there is no way I can remember at the end of the day how long I spent reviewing each pull request. So I track my time as I go, using Toggl. At the end of the day I sum up time spent on all tasks and enter them in JIRA. That's annoying to do, as I end up logging time slices of 20, 10 or even 5mn (some reviews take short amount of times, others requires more).

Do you log time at work? If you do, do you do it at a macro level or do you try to be more precise? Do you use any tool to help you?
This is a response from an old friend of mine: http://imgur.com/a/4MSRr

I think it's fair to say that both of us believe that women ought to have their own place to comb their hair, fix their lipstick and gossip about clothes and boys.
One could use a bicycle lamp easily enough and I suspect it would be smaller and lighter than the DIY setup shown.

http://www.lumicycle.com/mountain-bike-lights/summit-range/s...

That lamp is 1,100 lumens on standard high power, lasts over 4 and a half hours at that brightness. And if needed, there is a boost mode that gets you 1,650 lumens but only for a couple of hours.

This is for the smallest battery, a 2.6ah that weighs 220gms.

And if you're wondering, yes my bicycle has insane lights. 2 of those and then a 605 lumen dynamolamp giving 3,905 lumens on a bicycle. Yes,I chose tight beam and aim at the ground about 10m ahead, unless I leave the city when I put one wide beam lamp on and raise it a little.
水色 is one kind of color blue. ブルー is used for another kind of color blue, or for a broader spectrum of blue (it's also used for melancholia).
The only way to make that happen is to make them responsible for service.

It sharpens the mind when they know that.

Unfortunately this takes a culture change that management need to drive.

At the moment the typical developer contract might be only 6 months or a year so they are not invested in the proper running of their code.
I also have a problem with the word "fluent". Ok you say you're fluent, here's a simple self-check: Explain to someone in the language you claim to be fluent in how you'd go about making a fire without any matches. (hint: you need to use words like tinder, kindling, flint, etc.). If you can't do this, or grapple with the fact that you don't have a repertoire of these words in your vocabulary, you might want to reconsider your definition of "fluent".
Well yes, my wording may have been off: the factory workers will remain unemployed no matter what.

But converting factories to data centres would be a way to avoid demolition, and create a demand for specialised tech knowledge and make Finland somewhat relevant to the internet, which is what the government is after.
I find it slightly concerning that the word "brake" isn't used anywhere in the article.
Or "french toast". Or "french fries" (well, we have fries in France, but they come from Belgium).
It's cheaper than that. A HackRF and some sort of better clock and you're done.

I think the flight time was lower due to the weight of the light and battery array?
I don't think we're going to agree on this one. Hackerspace vs. "own workshop" are completely different things. If objective convenience is your only metric, Hackerspace might well win, but living near one places a lot of constraints on other areas of your lifestyle, and it's never going to give a feeling of self-sufficiency.

(Edit: this shouldn't be taken as a criticism of Hackerspaces -- they're a great compromise for people who otherwise like the tradeoffs that urban lifestyles bring, and can be fun to visit even if you don't need to borrow the tools).
What about ACID? How far do you plan to divert from it?

Great to learn about all the other services in the list of competitors. Some years ago, I did an Ask HN about why there wasn't a specialized "Netflix" (akin to an indie movie rental store). It only got a few answers but they all said, if memory serves, it wouldn't happen.
I don't believe it's the 'best food city' even for vegetarians, let alone vegans :)
As I've said in other comments, I think the line is when you decide to move from "I believe this" to "the law should enforce my beliefs on everyone".

There have been plenty of people calling to pressure people who support Trump; pg is one of them, and has been getting lit up on Twitter recently for continuing to work with Thiel.

Finally, you seem to think this is something unique to "left wing politics". Which is perhaps true: left-wing movements tend to resort to social pressure, boycotts and similar methods. Right-wing movements tend to attempt to outlaw or in some cases just literally exterminate the people who disagree with them. Which sort of world would you rather live in: the world where people who disagree with you simply refuse to associate with you, or the world where people who disagree with you seek to have your existence made illegal?

(and for the record, I no longer work for Mozilla, but that's unrelated)
Same experience - i did my phd after building my business, which allowed me to be an academic "tourist". Academia is largely a bureaucratic job, with short breaks in which you do research. Just the amount of time spent on formatting papers, writing grants, catching up/organizing conferences, handling students is full time for most PIs. What's worse, funding agencies and grants sometimes explicitly promote this constant "career building" track instead of, you know, plain simple curiosity-driven research.

I also have the sense that academics live in a sort of bubble, prioritizing concerns that are secondary, such as ego contests, impact factors, building CVs etc. (to me at least, this bubble is reminiscent of another microcosmic bubble sector - the army). Of course there are among them true scientists, with intact childlike curiosity and passion, but they are increasingly hard to spot in the overcrowded academia.

One needs to be a part-time scientist so that he has enough time to concentrate on a subject.

This resonates with some things I've found myself saying recently around misunderstandings of the DRY principle.

It's so catchy an acronym, and so seemingly self-explanatory, a lot of people don't realize it was originally framed in terms of knowledge, not syntax. So if syntax happens to be the same in N places, but in each of those places it is the way it is for a different reason, consolidating may not be "DRYing up the code". On the other hand, if I need to say "there's a text field here" in my markup and also in my logic, that could be more DRY even though the syntax looks nothing alike.

Tying this back here, we find as a corollary: when factoring out code we can ask ourselves "what piece of knowledge does this represent?" If it is knowledge about the language (this is a good way to sort things) it probably goes in a library, and should probably be very general. If it is knowledge about your domain (this is how we escape HTML), it probably goes in a domain-specific library, and it should probably be somewhat less general. If it is knowledge about your application, it probably goes in your application or an application-specific library, and should probably be pretty specific.

Reading through articles and comments on micro services I can't help but think the same. Much of it seems to be moving complexity from the application layer to the ops layer.
The project looks interesting but something about it rubs me the wrong way. Which organization is behind vanadium? Is it google? Then how is grail bio involved? Or is it a side project of google employees who now work at grail bio? I'm confused.

Also, why are syncbase sources not on github?
This is great for search and rescue.
We can argue whether Trump is an authoritarian or not, but what we can't argue about is that Clinton openly stated during the election she wants to take away your right to bare arms. Democrats can call it "common sense" whatever, but that's what it is.
With the situation as it is right now, I'm not sure there is anything that could protect you from Russian aggression.

Here it is like with surveillance cameras. They won't jump down from the pole to help you. Still they are all over now being sold with the argument of protection.
No, front-end and back-end cultures are too different. Front-end people like things that are shiny and new, the latest framework in the latest browser and it's only got to last a year at the very most before it gets re-written again (or the company is bust). Back-end people like things that are proven and stable and don't care if it's a decade old, because they want something that will last another decade. If you try and cross these streams you get things like MongoDB and Node.JS - lol.

It's why I never trust anyone who claims to be a "full-stack" developer. They will be bad at least one of them.
Well, this is a SigTBD paper (http://sigtbd.csail.mit.edu). I would expect nothing less.
It's easy to dismiss Page Shot as just another screenshot tool. In fact, that's exactly what I thought of it at first.

After actually trying it out, however, it quickly became my favorite screenshot tool for web content due to its awesome UX made possible by having full access to the actual DOM of the page it takes screenshots of, namely things like being able to index all text in screenshots to allow you to search through them, and being able to intelligently limit the screenshot area to specific elements when you click on them. OS level screenshot tools simply can't offer an experience like this.
There are different fluencies, all context dependent. A woodsman who knows all about kindling and flint would be bemused in an office environment where KPIs and stakeholder deliverables are core terms. In a programming environment they'd be utterly lost regarding the detail, even if they grasp basics like who's in charge. Or a chemistry lab, a surgical theatre, etc.

This is why there are courses in "business" versions of languages, for example.

So someone can be functionally fluent in the contexts they typically encounter, while being non-fluent outside them. I doubt any native speaker can be fully fluent in all possible contexts.

I've personally found jobs with high levels of physical tedium good for contemplation, and they don't impinge on time outside work with stress. I can see making cardboard boxes pretty rewarding for a budding philosopher with access to a good library and some peers to converse with.
To each his own. I'm French, I've lived in Paris and in Japan (in Kyoto with occasional stays in Tokyo). I'm biased though because even though I'm French, I tend to enjoy Japanese food more than French food.

I'd say that Tokyo has a much more diverse choice of food and that the best non-japanese restaurants in Tokyo tend to be as good or better than the restaurants in their respective countries. In France, a lot of foreign restaurants tend to adapt their food to the local palate whereas in Japan, they are more likely to be authentic.

Paris is also a good place for food but outside of French food and modern cuisine, there's not enough diversity and it gets a bit boring for me after a while.

Kotteri Ramen Naritake are decent but not great. Most ramen shops in Nakano are better than them and it cannot touch my favorite ramen place in Kyoto.

That said, I tend to think that everyday Japanese food in relatively inexpensive eateries is much better in Kyoto than in Tokyo. And it's a better place to try Kaiseki food than Tokyo.

And the author's argument are not great either. Convenience store food is not that great. I'd never qualify their egg-salad sandwich as amazing when there are so many kissaten that make way better egg-salad sandwiches. Convenience store food is at best decent.

Though seriously, I don't think anyone can argue that Trump doesn't fall squarely in the "Authoritarian" camp. Also, the parent doesn't even mention that Trump is "Authoritarian?" Only that he "appeals to white identity politics?"
As far as I know even the US only has a very limited supply.
>Niantic is not beholden to anyone to release anything, add any features, or do anything.

I disagree. Some people with rooted devices paid money for this game and now they can no longer play it. In any other industry, this would give rise to a series of lawsuits and the company doing it would be in big trouble. Somehow, though, for games, it's acceptable to just take away the thing you paid for.
'The question for me is, does it deliver more, less or the same amount of knowledge than during Higgs's time?'

I don't think that is the right question. Say it produces more knowledge, but the fields that are studied are selected, not by how intrinsically interesting they are, but instead by how much low-hanging fruit they have. I don't think that would necessarily be an improvement.
Doublethink, newspeak. (If you're referencing 1984)

> A large group of popular open source contributors wrote an open letter to github and even then, there was not much change until gitlab responded

What is a large group? Is large 10 people, 100? 1000?
What is a popular open source contributor? Name me one that was on that list?
What is not much change? Was there no change? Or was there not the change that YOU wanted? Also what exactly did you think will happen? Someone writes a letter today and tomorrow all the features will be implemented out of nowhere? Things take time and if you want to make them great, then maybe even longer. The fact that there WAS some change since then is evidence enough that GitHub did take it to heart what was in that letter.

By the way... GitLab is fucking slow. They are so bloody slow that it is painful and as a developer my time is too valuable to waste it on badly implemented software that I have to use every day. The issue has been raised many times and GitLab still didn't do anything until today to speed up their bloody service. So if anything then GitLab hasn't done anything until today except being a bunch of cheap copy pasters. Lol
Well, I mean, I understood the sarcasm and it was funny. Part of why it was so funny is because it's true. Haskell is amazing at many things, and one of them certainly is writing toy interpreters.
> Clinton openly stated during the election she wants to take away your right to bare arms

I'm pretty sure going sleeveless will still be legal in a Clinton presidency.

Spelling aside, it's still incorrect. Nobody is proposing a repeal of the 2nd Amendment. Basic gun control-- for example, requiring a criminal background check with no gun show loophole-- is not the same thing as taking away your right to own a gun.
