I'm an expat who has lived in 15 cities in 4 countries. I'm 32 and have been doing this my whole life so it is roughly 2 years per city. I have had to make a whole new set of friends every time. A few insights that I think my add perspective on what I've noticed as I've gotten older.

1) The odds that a new person I meet will be more interesting than people I already know are in constant decline. This is because I let go of my less interesting friends. As a result meeting random people has gotten a lot less fun over the years. I'm ok with this.

2) It is far more difficult to make friends in some cities than in others. Seattle and SF are by far the worst cities for making new friends that I have ever lived in. Seattle has the Seattle freeze and SF has constant social climbing and virtue signalling. Best to move to a better city like NY, London, Sydney etc. (it's a long list)

3) If you can't move and you still want to make friends I recommend joining a religion or a cult, e.g. crossfit or november project. People in these environments are signalling that they value making new friends over the cost of believing something stupid, doing dangerous exercises, and or getting up and some ungodly hour in the morning. You don't need to stay in the group for long as there are always people looking for others to become 'disillusioned' with. Instant circle friends.
A much better feature is available in zsh, called safe-paste, that does this without the user having to insert "tap" or anything else manually. It relies on something called bracketed paste, where the terminal emulator sends special escape sequences to indicate the beginning and end of a paste. These are intercepted by the zsh plugin, which opens $EDITOR with the pasted content.

Christchurch is actually not on the fault line, and it was a surprise when such a severe earthquake hit in 2011, so they weren't well prepared. All the susceptible buildings collapsed then, and new buildings are earthquake-proof.
In Judaism, "community" is an explicit part of observance. It's also a reason Jews are nudged to be members of a temple. (Many others too)

In Silicon Valley I've seen non-theistic churches sprouting up. I believe the Society for Ethical Culture on New York is similar.
1. Intel CPUs are much more powerful and complex than a typical Apple/Qualcomm SoC, and so are more difficult to design and more expensive to manufacture.

2. Intel has its own internal fabs, which allows them to control the entire process, but also eats into their margins.

3. Intel maintains a vast variety of CPUs of different classes (Atom all the way up to Xeon etc.)

4. Intel's CPU related R&D expenses are much higher than either Apple or Qualcomm. On top of this, Intel does a ton of research into process optimization, materials science, and general circuit design, which obviously needs funding.
ICOs hard to figure out? WINGS DAO does the heavy lifting
No, but about the same distance from the Périph.
The basic idea is that all things don't remain equal. Some of the differences that can and do dominate frequency differences are the microarchitecture, resulting in machine instructions that aren't comparable even if both processors have a similar frequency, parallelism, resulting in a variable amount of instructions handled per clock cycle, and data transfer, resulting in clock cycles being wasted.

GP argues that even though frequency has not increased recently, performance has, a point better made by the article.
> Look at the Session GUI. You can click on a list of saved sessions, but they won't show up in the input configs at the top till you press load, but if you doubleclick on them a new session is started.

Of all things, I don't think that is a bad design choice. I would get really annoyed if all the changes I've made in the different tabs were to disappear because I happened to click on one of the already existing sessions in the list. Perhaps because I'd want to update it.
Tableau the New Version Is Up – SRY
I didn't want to be skeptical, much less cynical. I agree with the second bit of the article too but the operative word for me is if!

If a * clear* demonstration happens things will change, alot.

But this has not yet happened, it may never happen, that's science! Personally I bet into 5 or more years but would be delighted to be wrong.
> What I normally do with iOS teams is have the CI tool produce a new internal build for every commit to master. That way everybody, including testers, have the most up to date version of the application readily available. That starts to fall apart if developers treat master as just the place to put work-in-progress stuff. It doesn't mean that we're submitting to Apple several times a day, it just means that we're sure what's in master is "done done".

I did that, but it turned out of little relevance to our QA process: new builds were happening once an hour, while QA wanted to get a version that they can run at least a full regression on, and it takes much more than that. So they ended up not using this CI builds at all, instead relying on a "release" branch version which they would get once every few days.

I often store my password using PHP's password_hash('password', PASSWORD_DEFAULT) function. This function has been baked into the language since version 5.0 I think. I'm sure most other languages must have a similar function too, yet so many sites save the password in plain text. Doesn't make any sense.

Show HN: Qwiki Got Even Better
Show HN: Node.js-based Raspberry Pi compute cluster
I recently open sourced the code and build plans for a NodeJS-based compute cluster. The cluster is different from what's out there in that it uses microservices and a recently open sourced NPM package called Hydra. It's all released under the MIT license. https://github.com/cjus/hydra-cluster
The problem with those socialist countries is that they failed to evolve. They'll still be making the same car in '85 which was succesfully launched in '65, and nobody would want it any more.

This is perhaps because of lack of competition (there wasn't much common market even between different Warsaw Pact countries) and overspending on military preparing for wars which never came.

http://jalopnik.com/these-were-your-car-options-in-hungary-u... this article makes the point that there was some competition. Lucky for Hungary. In USSR there were not.
IMHO the difference is time. When you are single in college or just out of school, you can socialize every night. When you are married, and have kids and a demanding job, you barely have enough time for existing obligations. Just less time for new social bonds, or they come at the expense of old ones.

I used to have 2x the personal social network connections (Facebook) than professional (LinkedIn). Now it's flipped.
Dear browser makers: Please don't. There are legitimate uses for this feature.

If websites are abusing it, simply stop visiting them, or install an ad/content blocker. What maybe browser makers could introduce is a "switch" to disable autoplay and audio, and manually enable it per tab. But this feature should be not active by default.

Also, we should be complaining with the ISPs and Carriers about their data caps, not at sites for using data
You need to double that, unless you exclude females. Why do you stop at 55?

"15-24 years: 12.11% (male 1,050,889/female 1,010,596)
25-54 years: 39.83% (male 3,400,998/female 3,377,311)"
There are tons of libertarian support on HN and other Internet forums. They are about as persecuted as Christians in the US.
Yeah that's the thing. They ought to be on their own, but if the democrats return the favor (and I do also feel we were way too nice in 2008) and filibusterer everything, Congress will still have a hard time doing anything.

The supreme court is the exception to this.
My experience is that Chrome's incognito mode limits information but does not seem to do so in a way that affects Google's business model. For a clean slate, use a different browser or a whole different Chrome identity or run in a VM...or adjust your Google settings to forget about you (which means Google remembers that you're a person who they need to apply "forget about me" settings.
That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

Do you have any opinion if we should open-source the project?
That's a great point. I see it in effect in my life in several indirect ways. Some people I might want to hang out with (because I find them interesting) give me the impression that I'm below their status level. I'm conscious about this and probably concerned about this too much. Another part of me really hates this attitude in people and then resorts to thinking that if they're that centered on status, maybe after all they aren't that interesting.

Of course I could try harder, but with social situations this usually just leads to the inevitable impression of being in need for something (which is majorly off-putting).

There's so much that could be said about this topic but in the end everyone's time is limited. So we decide: Do I want to spend time with person X or do I rather use that time to work on... my career, ... or maybe just read a book.

Since this applies to another person as well, this makes me afraid to ask: "Hey, do you want to hang out with me, or do you think the time spent with me will be less valuable than what you normally would do?"

The harsh truth might be that the other person deems us less interesting than doing whathever else they do.

And we ought to be ok with that. I'm quite aware of this and it's one of the reasons why I oftentimes don't engange in social situatioins in the first place. I've encountered dozens of awkward social situations where I left the party early on some pretense when in the end I just thought you're all boring as hell, I want to go home. Some of these situations were quite painful. However the risk of having to go through such a situation shouldn't keep me from enganging more actively. I'm writing this partly as a statement to make myself be more active again in that respect. Most of _ is crap and social groups are no different. But allowing the average to prevent the exceptional (great friendship) we might run into shouldn't be the case.

So I'm saluting all the weird interactions to come as the price to pay for finding friends close to my heart.
This problem has already been solved with decent success using deep learning.

No. Browsers should not interfere with autoplay. It is still a tool. Don't drop features because some abuse it.
There's millions of votes still uncounted, largely in heavily-Clinton states (by the latest official report, over 4.3 million in California alone), so comparisons to final popular vote count in prior elections are rather premature.
Major props to Anthony https://github.com/ircmaxell for adding this as a language supported feature to PHP as well for his work on techniques for preventing injection.

I work with C#, Java, Python Go and JS on backends a lot and no other language I worked with had such a simple but secure API.
There is substantial evidence that a lot of people voted for Trump because they did not like Clinton. If Clinton was a popular candidate I don't see a path to Trump winning, but she was a historically unpopular candidate, only Trump had a less favorable approval rating of any other presidential candidates since approval rating has been measured.

The author seems to really struggle with reconciling the click-baity title with the rather dull conclusion that native apps aren't that doomed just yet (if at all), within the last couple of paragraphs.

A better title would have been: A collection of highly useful resources for getting started with progressive web apps.
Watching later with youtube-dl is actually the recommended way to do YouTube on OpenBSD; various "OpenBSD as a desktop OS" tutorials mention it, and in practice it works very well. On that particular OS it is due to the lack of a native Flash plugin, but even with YouTube offering most of their videos via HTML5 it actually makes for a better experience to download and then view them. I'd imagine it could even be automated trivially, by calling youtube-dl via a browser plugin, or by writing a script to pass YouTube URLs to with a simple GUI thrown together in FLTK or TCL/TK.

As for the hosts file, a hand-edited file works great, and you don't have to do thousands of entries on your own. You can find some great examples all over the web, then tune them to your own needs, saving a lot of time. For example, there are at least two out there for Windows 10 users to block all communication with Microsoft's servers, avoiding any telemetry and tracking by the OS. If your router is smart enough, you can even upload your hosts file to it to block any device on your network from getting ads and being tracked.
But all things are not equal.
Some bot's default?
Yep, banning would have been an alternative solution. But with the choice they made, it requires more human intervention, both on the shorter term (i.e. policing comments to find trolls and mark their accounts) and the longer term (i.e. policing marked accounts and unmarking them when their comments become consistently high quality), and that's a lot of work, and too subject to flawed bias, which is why it's a flawed choice.

You might be right. I don't know. A better phrasing might have been "anti-left" or "left-critical" viewpoint.
The question is, can you effectively replace a meeting to discuss the nature of life and existence with a meeting to discuss games and movie fandoms?

Or does that deeper topic interplay with meeting and socializing with people?

BlackNurse attack, how to knock big servers offline with a laptop
Yes, there are earthquake standards for new buildings, and mandatory retrofitting for older buildings (as they are updated).

From what I've seen, this is pretty similar to San Francisco. It would be interesting to see data comparing the standards across earthquake-prone countries/regions.
si.com seems to have been redesigned so it doesn't do that stuff. Time Inc. was spun off in 2014.
HopsFS has multiple redundant, stateless NameNodes.
All things are not equal. Different architectures and pipeline setups result in completely different outcomes.

Frequency is far from an accurate measure of performance. It doesn't take in IO, context switching, pipe lining, interrupts, and multicore systems. Even within the same family clock speed may not have much to do with performance. Clock speed is just a measure of how many times a second some increment in an operation may occur. Doesn't mean it will increment it's progress in an operation, doesn't mean the operation can't happen between then, it just means the CPU will find out about the state of that between those updates.

You also need to take into account the BPU and the vector math sections of the die which this sort of metric completely ignores.
> How did it happen? They were hacked via a Local File Inclusion exploit and you can read more about the situation when it was initially reported from this link.

> LFI vulnerabilities allow an attacker to include files located elsewhere on the server into the output of a given application.

How did they do that ? append /../../../etc to an url that is supposed to serve a file and hope the server doesn't check for directory traversal ?
Psychologists have long theorized that when the need to belong is unmet, people start to pay more attention to the world around them. Imagine times when you were driving down the highway, feeling hungry, and you noticed every single food sign you drove by. Same with friendships and loneliness. When you feel left out, or feel unconnected, then you notice social cues. You become hyper-aware of yourself and of other people.

Yet this doesn't drive toward social interaction. That's why you see lonely people standing in the back of the party, watching everyone else. Gardner's research suggests that people struggle to "self correct" (as you phrase it) because of feelings of loneliness. [0] This doesn't sound intuitive, but here is the idea.

When nonlonely people are surveyed, they cite commonsense solutions to making friends: clubs, sports, coworkers, coffee dates with acquaintances.

But when lonely people are surveyed, you'll likely hear something researchers call fantasy findings. Instead of planned coffee dates or the monthly photography club, lonely people believe that friends are made in chance meetings, blind luck, unlikely encounters, chatting someone up on the domestic flight. Lonely people may be unable to think practically about social outcomes and devise effective social strategies.

The author says "The ratio of times I hear, 'We should hang out!' to actual hangouts is about 10 to 1." These kind of fantasy offers express feelings of connection that bypass the difficulties of forming real relationships. Lonely people are very good at relying on these when thinking about forming connections.

It's not that lonely people don't know how to meet other people, it's that they associate friendships with daydreams, conjuring up images of togetherness.

well on java it's at least:

PBEKeySpec spec = new PBEKeySpec(password.toCharArray(), salt.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8), iterations, digestSize)
SecretKeyFactory skf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBKDF2WithHmacSHA256")
byte[] hash = skf.generateSecret(spec).getEncoded()

ant then using MessageDigest.isEqual (on newer jvm, older ones had a bug up to 6 45 or so) to compare the passwords.

well the biggest problem is probably generating a truly random salt with SecureRandom, which will slow down your program if used incorrect.
Beg to differ. Priorities change. "Kids" are an absolute life highlight, and come above pretty much everything else.
It's perfectly fine to shop around for other opportunities while you're working for a company - In fact you should always do it - There is nothing deceptive about that. You're selling your time, your employer doesn't own you.
It was the same in the UK. Labour (left wing party) lost the election big time. Despite the obvious swing to the right they decided that the problem was that they were insufficiently left wing and ended up with Corbyn, who is the Bernie Sanders of the UK.

That's over simplifying a bit, "they" in this case was a flood of new party members who weren't previously involved, but could be similar.
I agree. I'm annoyed the Dems seem to think they are okay if they just stay the course. Here's the scorecard:

The Republicans will control the House, the Senate, and the presidency, have the chance to appoint at least one and probably several Supreme Court justices, run 68 out of 99 state legislative houses, and hold 31 gubernatorial seats.

Sounds like to me the Dems are in deep trouble and they need to wake up. Good points above.
Is it possible for such a leak on Google searches? I.e. massive leak of accounts to search data, or 3rd party leaks?

A big problem in the Christchurch region is liquefaction. There's not much earthquake codes can do to keep the ground from turning to goop.
> He has a problem with two women.

How do you know he has a problem with (just) two women? Did he say that? No. Even now he hasn't said that. On the contrary, he specifically said "people like" the two examples he named.

Are you genuinely telling me you don't know what "people like" means in this context?

> It's you that made it ambiguous by claiming he had a problem "with women".

The words "with women" don't even appear in any of my comments, in any context at all, so I don't know where you're quoting that from. I actually said "I have no idea what proportion of women he has a problem with".

And if my understanding of another person's comment (which is still there, in his own words) somehow made that comment "ambiguous", why are you not finding it ambiguous?
firefox isn't included in these competitions; it was a while back but has been removed.

not 100% sure why, but I figure Mozilla don't pay out significant bounties and compromise of the browser is relatively easy compared to other targets given there's no real sandbox.
When we talk about immigration, we're really talking about jobs. Yes, there are other aspects as well, but U.S. history is filled with conflict over new waves of immigrants encountering fierce resistance from prior waves of immigrants (see Howard Zinn's "The People's History of the United States", et al).

That's why Trump ultimately won, because he played to people's fears about jobs, as well as profiting from decades of manufactured hate against Clinton. I have many issues with the Clintons but when I encounter people that hate Hillary they almost explode with hate and then cite Fox News talking points (that are usually lies).
