Great to hear that you continue to iterate on Persona idea. It is a little pity that Portier wasn't announced earlier, preferably together with Persona shutdown decision. Many sites that are using Persona already migrated login flows and would likely consider Portier if it was an option.

Curious too, the phrase is very widely attributed to him, if it's falsely attributed, I've been unknowingly contributing to the misattribution!
Try System 76: https://system76.com.

They make systems that ship with Linux and have one or two aluminum models. Not sure if it meets the "barebones" requirement you are talking about, though, as I usually associate that with desktop systems that have only the absolute minimum of components onboard.

The Oryx Pro looks pretty nice, but battery life is apparently only around 2 hours, which leads me to believe it uses that 10-series discrete nvidia chip as its full-time GPU rather than using something like Optimus to switch between that and and integrated card.
There are only one or two plugs because there are no cars to use them. BMW's sold just 22K i3's to date worldwide. Chevy's sold a few thousand Spark EV's. Tesla and Leaf don't use CCS. Most of the time the chargers sit completely idle. There's no need, nor financial projections to justify, building more CCS plugs per location. The ratio of CCS plugs to CCS-capable cars is probably better than the ratio of Supercharger plugs to Tesla cars. Tesla's locations are the ones known for the lines of waiting cars.

Keep in mind the Bolt hasn't gone on sale yet. Nobody's bought one, there are zero Bolt drivers available to pay money to Blink/CP/NRG that are laying out $50K+ to build each CCS charger. If they've built nearly 900 of them around the nation anyway, on the premise that the cars are coming, think about how fast the network can expand when there are actual cars on the road to justify doing so. Volkswagen is going to dump almost $2 billion into building CCS chargers as part of its settlement for the emissions scandal.

Like all technology, early adopters will suffer "just one or two plugs" for a while... or not, if you're in Pennsylvania like me, and the chargers are unused and available 100% of the time I check Plugshare... so that in a few years, when there are half a million or more EVs on the road... that is, potential customers... we will have created demand that led to those additional plugs being built.

Complaining that there are only 1579 fast charge plugs for the Bolt before it goes on sale is like complaining there weren't enough iPhone docks available before the iPhone came out. The accessories showed up after the customers that can buy them did.
My wife and I each have a car. Most married people I know each have a car, so to me that's not ridiculous at all.

My new neighbors, though, are ridiculous in their car ownership (in my opinion). They are a married couple with only a new baby, but for some reason they have three cars. I've never seen them drive the third car, it's just in their garage and they park the two cars they do drive in the driveway.
Ask HN: Seen this VC phishing email?
I've received a fake Google drive link from a few of my investors in the past month. My investors and advisors' accounts have been hijacked after receiving the same email from other VCs and members of the startup community.

The email prompts you to login to Google Drive so you can see a folder called "Investors/Advisors. If you fill it out, your account gets pwned, and a copy of the email goes out to all your contacts.

Has anyone else encountered this? Link to the email here: http://imgur.com/a/cP4jw.
And about 2:1 code to comment ratio in the C side, which seems pretty good to me (without poking at other projects for comparison)
True. I understand the emotional impact of ideas too - every time I see someone executing on something I spent time thinking about, I feel as if I've just lost hit points. That said, I try to promote a more global view on things, because as a society, we're in dire need of more of that. Self-centered view is easy to have.
It is standard. It's also why being in a startup is rarely the windfall it seems, even if there is an exit. By the time all the VCs get their 2x-5x cashout, there's barely money for the actual employees.
Today I learned:

1. Some people being polled don't take polls very seriously.
2. Some people reading poll results take polls too seriously.
Thought 1: This is Cracked, so it will probably suck, but I'll scroll through the headings real quick and ignore everything else.

Thought 2: I'm reading more than the numbered items? A Cracked article hasn't won me over like this in ages.

Thought 4: Oh, it's seanbaby. That explains everything.
It would be nice if this algorithm could be created in a more localised form, so that you could take a photo and apply the effect with different intensities as if you were using a brush.

Merely because sometimes it gets things wrong, and I think a normal human could correct things if they had more control over the process.
We're talking about definitions, so you may continue to refer to 'functions' however you like, but from a functional programming perspective, I'm going to posit that it is useful to distinguish between functions and 'impure' functions. :)

I think your position is that because there is an escape hatch in languages like Haskell, that negates the usefulness of equational reasoning. I'll argue this isn't true, in the same way it's useful to pretend ⊥ doesn't exist and that we don't bork our unbound recurison or whatnot. Once we do that, we now can reason about our functions as if they exist as arrows in a cartesian closed category (of types). This is incredibly useful. We just have to restrict ourselves to a subset of the language. We still get that same benefit even if part of our program call impure functions. This is the reason we want to model as many side effects as we can in the types (an IO monad or Task in Scala).

I saw your twitter convo, I don't know what you mean by this:

>"If we define functions as pure, then functional programming doesn't exist outside of extreme specialist applications."

All kinds of Haskell applications are built with side effects. Are you under the impression UnsafePerformIO is the only way to interact with the world in Haskell?

Forums should always provide a Hide button which instantly hides any post and its replies. Often times I want to reply with snark and I just hit hide (not always; it's still my choice). If I'm reading and I see a troll, it's really not worth my time, but hiding the troll means I don't see them when if I re-read. Blocking a troll should be easy as well.

I decided not to read this after the page scrolled back to the top twice while I was reading, and then threw a popup demanding an email address when I dared move the mouse. That's when I closed the window.

I've had about enough bullshit "engagement" today, and marketmedications.com won't be getting visits from me until I forget how rude they are.

I'm pretty sure that if Ben Franklin were writing today, he'd want to publish somewhere that wasn't so annoying it chased readers away.
> If you’re a big picture person unwilling to grind out the gritty details on your project, you might as well just forget the whole damn thing — no one is going to stick around if you don’t.

yes. in a corporate context, i've see this same thing happen in a research group which was very "vision driven."

the prevailing belief (at the top) was that the group could just implement a bare bones, buggy, semi-documented version of the visionary's idea and simply "hand off" the whole project to another group which could then "realize value" from it.

but it never worked out that way.

the receiving groups didn't want to spend the time learning about it, setting it up, working around bugs and deficiencies and asking the research group questions about their vision-implementation.

in short, the receiving groups never believed in the vision group's implementation enough to invest their time and attention.
Some of those, I really wonder what was going through the "designer"'s head when they posted...

No. This is the usual case of user flags and the flamewar software. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12738677.
My comment was less about the underlying platform and more about the approach of sharing their work.
That's fine with GM. If you go to a Chevrolet dealership, they'll usually have a Corvette Stingray on the showroom floor. Most buyers will admire it, then buy the sedan or mini-van.

The Bolt is there to be bought, not admired.
At least in my social circles the hard g has won. Unless they rename it Giraffe Interchange Format I'm sticking with the hard g.
These EVs have been around long enough that this information is based on hard data. At least 5-6 years for most models (the Leaf is from 2010).

A Prius has regen-braking too, so you can get 100k on a set of pads. You still need to flush the fluid though because it is extremely hygroscopic and begins to break-down and lose effectiveness with age, so it isn't something you want leave for the decade it takes the pads to wear, lest you find the brake pedal on the floor when you need it the most.

But tires are the biggest maintenance expense of a car. And EV's weight + torque can make them eat tires. Edmunds didn't even get 10k miles out of the $1600 tires on their Model S.

You may not realize, but EVs should use special tires. Michelin makes EV-specific variants of their lineups that are designed to handle the heat and load requirements of an EV.

https://www.wired.com/2016/05/hidden-battle-make-perfect-tir...

So, until EVs ditch their tires, maintenance for them is still going to be pretty close to their gas counterparts.

Further, CCS barely qualifies as "quick." The Bolt will add up to 90 miles of range in 30 minutes. Teslas do about twice that.
I would love to see architecture and comparison to other kernels described!

Also, I wonder if this can be made to run on Cortex M4 with "MPU" but not "MMU" hardware? Something to run on the Teensy 3.6 would be interesting.

BTW: Binary compatible function driver interfaces are great! They served us well on BeOS. The Linux "recompile everything under the sun" approach really gets in the way for many real world situations.

Finally, I'm sick and tired of POSIX I/O. It's a really old model, and a really bad match to modern hardware and use cases. Someone needs to develop and popularize the callback/messaging based kernel/application interface of the future, complete with something other than the main() entry point...
"There is no reason to believe this time is different."

I don't understand the reasoning here.

Human physical work had become obsolete, so, new jobs appeared in intellectual domains.

Now, machines are going to be more efficient than humans in intellectual work, what are those new wonderful jobs that human can do but machines can't do cheaper?

We could argue that the last wave made obsolete the horse, not the humans, it's just that the new horses are so powerful that one human can control innumerable horses. This is the first time that we are the obsolete worker.

That's what makes this time different.
I'm sure they meant well, but logo design is a skill that not everyone has.

Tech Titan Peter Thiel Explains Support for Donald Trump Amid Controversy
My main point was about how Franklin's methods used a lot of tedious overwork. Hand-copying is an illustrative aspect of that, yes, but memorizing the text of an Italian grammar book is of similarly limited value even if you are using Anki and distration-free writing software to do it.
There's a couple that are nice. A good logo doesn't just come from nowhere though. There's a lot of work that goes into all the really good logos you see.

No, actually not. That's the point.

I think about this every time someone on HN discusses Twitter's problems with finding its role; there's a huge community of Twitter users with a distinct culture and engagement that can't easily be replicated elsewhere, they're just very different from the Silicon Valley community/Twitter's board.

Looks like Yellowdog Linux is discontinued, but at the time it was great: http://www.fixstars.com/en/technologies/linux/

One of the best features of that distribution was none of the standard pre-compiled root-kits would run on it, plus all the buffer-overflow attacks had to be customized for PowerPC, something few script kiddies had the capability of doing. It made for a surprisingly resilient system at the time.
I'm currently working on a large-ish code based designed primarily to run via Emscripten. Current optimized .js size is 3MB. While the WASM size is noticeably smaller <2MB, startup time is actually worse due to browsers compiling everything ahead of time.
Actually yes, this was the main reason I moved from apple. I was looking for a new laptop and apple still used a 1400 something resolution as a standard with a 1600 something as an upgrade. Most windows oems used full HD panels at that time and some of them 99% ore more adobeRGB. I was forced buying an ugly laptop because apples screen tech was years behind, even now the air has a ugly and very cheap low resolution panels.

Apple was really good at making basic consumer ideas work not at inventing stuff. Most inventions (by apple, MS) are based on older ideas. Don't get the invention religion anyway, who cares if apple was first or not. Just use wat you like

That's the most common fallacy within the Linux community. I use Linux to do something else and contribute there. Wasn't that the intention behind Linux? Provide a common OS to create and contribute different things? I do not use Linux to maintain it. I use it to create something new, as an instrument. I neither have the knowledge, nor the time to acquire it, nor to maintain it. There are people who can do it better than myself. So, after all, it's my fault that maintainers abandon ports, because no one appreciates their work, including me?

All I read now is, how dare I to raise the issue. Who am I anyway to raise such an issue, without even being willing to contribute anymore. And that's just plain stupid. As an IT-guy I just begin to hate anything that smells like a "software-community", because not just the software stinks, but also the arguments about it.

The GNU GPL v3 does not contain such a provision. However, a different license, the GNU AGPL v3, does. Your post is entirely incorrect regarding the GPLv3.

As Wikipedia notes, some drafts of the GPLv3 contained such a provision, but this did not make it into the final version.

"If you've believed the Or model of introversion and extroversion your whole life and resist the And model, try this challenge: try believing the And model for a week or a month."

"That depends on whether you believe the prime mover has communicated with us. If you do not, then there would not be much you could do with the knowledge of its existence."

I think you've hit the nail on the head here. This brings us to the question is how do you move from the existence of a prime mover to the belief that the prime mover has communicated with us. It's not clear to me that existence implies such communication. And if it doesn't, it's not clear to me that the existence of the prime mover in and of itself is doing any useful work.

On the other hand, proving that there is no prime mover is a well-known difficult problem as well :)

It's hardly miserable. I mean, I get along with my coworkers just fine in a professional way, but I'm not exactly buddy buddy crushing code sharing gifs like it seems like most startups want you to be. I don't go to work to make friends.
I don't disagree,but I'll also caution that you don't know me, and I think it is fair to say I've had some objectively horrible things happen to myself and those I love.

But years later, I do believe that negative experiences are part of the human condition. One certainly should not seek them out, but stoicly accepting both the good and the bad is part of being a mortal.
