Light actually has momentum but not mass. Calling it effective mass isn't far off, but sometimes my pedantic physicist kicks in.
Are there many people that have automatic submission of each of their blog articles to Hacker News? Seems like a special sort of hubris…
Very nice. I'm going to star all of these. Reminds me my CPU model in 60 lines of code:

Thanks for the fast response and sharing this story! Will definitely take it for a spin soon.
So I don't get any points for E = mc² ? :)

In all seriousness though, I was noting the parallel "limited by … the amount of energy it can carry" and "limited by the amount of mass it can carry" in the sense that, yeah, you're going to be limited by what you can take with you.
I love 2.7's rendering engine and 49.0.2 looked great, but 50.0 looks washed out. Tried ESR 45.5.0 and it looks great again. I'm confused as to what may have happened from 49 to 50 that caused this.
Ask HN: Can my employer install a 'key logger' on my Android phone?
I don't know much about what can and can't be done with policies on Android phones.

I've applied my employer's security policy on my personal Android phone in order to access work email from my home.

Is it possible for them to intercept input across the OS?
Does Firefox 50 break NoScript on all sites or a specific case? Can you share steps to reproduce the regression?
I had two numbers at one point, tended to give out the longer one to avoid confusing people and appear "normal", hah.
Film locations can be iconic. In a motel room, bored and channel-surfing, I saw a '70s movie on a beach with a distinctive headland in the distance and a large boulder jutting out of the surf. Next channel, old B&W movie, same beach, this time a suicide wading out into the surf by the same rock. Both scenes playing at the same time on adjacent channels.
Awesome! Please feel free to share your feedback with us! Btw, make sure to check out the Clarity Seed, should be an easy way to get you started with Clarity: https://github.com/vmware/clarity-seed
No it wouldn't. At a constant 1g acceleration, you're in the .9c range in less than a year. So to get to Alpha Centauri would take < 6 years, accounting for acceleration and deceleration. And because you're constantly accelerating, and accelerating to relativistic velocities, you would experience dramatic time dilation as well, meaning the amount of time passed for the ship would be even less.
It's all personal preference, but since Opera 12 I've been addicted to ctrl-tab for most recently used switching (Opera 12 had a nice tab switcher that made the interaction very understandable/manageable), and then alt-tab for switching in "physical" order. (I run a large number of tabs, and quickly switching between two (or a small number) that I've used recently seems to be a common interaction for me - but then being able to look at favicons and traverse quickly to a closely located tab too (is less crucial, but important enough that I don't use FF (because I can't remap that alt-tab interaction simply).)

And I love it :-p
It is literally the reason (in combination with "open new tab next to current") I use the browser I do (Vivaldi; would consider Opera, but it doesn't/didn't do "open new tab next to current").

To each their own :-)
As did the New York Times. Most statistical models were biased because the data was biased. That doesn't change my perception of the entire organization (though I understand if others do change theirs.)
So they implicitly rather than explicitly say they support ECC memory. That's a first.
Unreal Engine 4.14 Released
There's a somewhat dated version (pre-Monaco) at https://github.com/Lerc/notanos

Things are a bit broken right now(like file requesters don't return the file selected)

I work on it sporadically. Now that native promises are a thing I want to go through and tidy up some of the callback structure. The App API should ideally be all promise based.

It's an intimidating task though. Next big update I'll probably get it to a point where I ask assistance.
They specifically mention acoustics in the (long) text about it. I would assume that means they tried to make it quiet. Whether I believe them or not is up in the air, as my last HP workstation was louder than hell.
Sweet :D

I'll keep an eye on the Packet website. I did try out the ARMv8 server, a bit disappointed that the hardware did not support backwards compatibility with ARMv7 though :(
Hey! I worked with John Daleske years later (an embedded project). Its good to see John and Empire getting some recognition!
Can be fixed in Sublime Text as follows:

I can google shit myself. The problem is that google shows a lot of horseshit as well, maybe the person who posted something has link to a great article or something like that.

Specially with historical subject 'just googling' is dangerous because you often land on pages that have a agenda. Very often nationalistic Interpretation of history for example. Specially if you are not familiar with a subject that is a huge problem.
Lucas used a lot of footage from The Dam Busters for storyboarding the Death Star trench run in Star Wars. Some of the dialogue is lifted as well.
Miranda was my go to for years! We used to tar up our bundles and drop them into our work stations at our call centre jobs where messaging was a strict no no! Due to its super slim design and hotkeys it was the best tool for the job! Thank you for building it! I spent days upon days customizing it and hacking it as a young techie. It truly is my favourite messenger of all time. I wish I could still use it on OSX to consolidate all the different messaging services that are popular these days; slack, FB, imessage etc. It's funny how history repeats itself.
Yeah sorry. But when i see MS having such a commitment to backwards compatilbity, and then the supposed "vanguard" of desktop Linux can't even be bothered to keep things working within their domain (while trying to dictate how everyone needs to build their distros to be "user friendly" and attractive to developers no less) i just get riled up.
So taking your project as an example, and having Carbon Ads, how much $$$ do you get out of them?
It's amazing how they blew it.
I remember, back in the day they were dominant messaging platform. And now they are relic of the past, while WhatsApp was purchased for $19 billions.
All of this because they missed mobile revolution.

EXACTLY. This starts at home and it's exacerbated at the government learning centers.
Outside of my personal use cases but I can definitely see how many, if not even most, people would need that at some point. :)

Thanks for the response!
The few times I've tried VR I've had post-VR sadness, but mine was sadness because it totally failed to live up to the hype. I could see the pixels, for one, so I never forgot I was in VR. And the other thing is, as "magical" as those experiences are, they just don't measure up to real life. I've played virtual instruments and games and visited a VR villa and so on, but none of it was as magical as watching my kids do pretty much anything on a regular basis. I dunno, though, maybe I haven't tried the right thing in VR.
This is something I have been looking for, thank you!
> Chiang turned down a Hugo nomination for his short story "Liking What You See: A Documentary" in 2003, on the grounds that the story was rushed due to editorial pressure and did not turn out as he had really wanted.

This seems to fit your theory.
That example is all on Emil Vikström, who unilaterally accepted a bad edit from Akshat (with minor corrections of his own) after two reviewers had already voted to reject. That's two edits. The third edit was undoing the bad change they accepted. The undo was also contentious, with 2 votes to reject and 3 to accept.

But, Akshat has only 18 points. Even if you're lucky enough to have worthless suggested edits accepted, it's not a very good way to earn points.
Not too much different from people coming down from intense psychedelics or mystical experiences.

Among the spiritual seekers for these kinds of mindblowing experiences, there is a seeking for greater and more intense experiences. What follows is a sort of emptiness or depression. It's touching on dukkha, that is, existential anguish.

The key, as it has always been, to be present in the present moment, whether that means being present during the VR experience, or being present in meatspace. Being present to that emptiness will allow it to bleed out and dissolve.

I'm personally glad to hear about these reports. There is a good possibility that VR and AR is the gateway towards mainstream exploration of consciousness. Up until then, honest discussion about existential anguish has been buried and suppressed, and I don't think that has served our civilization well. Here's a shoutout to all the explorers to come.
I had a 5-digit in low 20K at the time.

It was stolen because of a weak password on the account.

This is how I started my way in cyber security, thanks to the frustration and further research on how that happened.

Ask HN: Is a chronological timeline wrong approach?
I admit that this will be a little bit a whining question, but it is something which has bothered me for a long time:

What's wrong with a chronologically sorted list of information?

In last decade, I have started using all these social networks and get used to the way they sorted information. Initially, it was very simple - for example initial Twitter's timeline was awesome. It has been great at how to take short information, insert it into chronologically sorted list and display it to users. It was simple and for me it worked great.

But then something happened at Facebook and they started to "sort" my News Feed. It escalated so brutal, that 90% of information presented to me is barely relevant. Even the "Most Recent" tab has somehow sorted data, from previous week(s). I understand that there is algorithm which is suppose to sort posts based on my previous behavior, preferences, location, etc., but where is the simplest option? Why I can't sort it chronologically?

When trying to figure out this "problem" I've came across multiple browser extensions(seriously?), some hacks and some "pro tips" and none of them seemed like viable solution.

Is here someone else with the same problem and wondering what is wrong with showing data in chronological list?

I truly believe that the way the data are being curated and presented is over-engineered and the final solution basically reduces the readability and usability of these products.

What is your take on this HN?
Its wishful thinking to imagine anyone 'controls the NSA'. They spy on Senators for gods sake.
https://github.com/darrell-d/tracker

It's a simple time tracker. No cloud BS. It just uses local storage to track how long you've been working on any task.

I still have some features I'd like to add (like a countdown timer and clearing individual tasks), but I'm real happy with it and I've been using it at work to track my project time.
Right now I'm adding many different image sizes in the ICO file to cover many types of browsers and devices, but it's probably not a good default. I will expose sizing options or default to fewer sizes in the future.

Thanks for feedback!
They don't need WhatsApp's help to do it.
WhatsApp voice calls are done over different ports, so only these need to be blocked.

The UAE (and Saudi Arabia) went through the extra step of asking WhatsApp to perform a block server side because of legal regulatory issues. Oman has made no such demand.

My family regularly makes WhatsApp calls to me from Oman; they just have to switch on a VPN to tunnel out of Oman's censorware.
It's a perfect example. Bias != Fake. Bias is fine. People are always going to share articles biased towards their views.

RSVP: Matt Torbin on Cultivating the Hacker Mentality in Your Team
I still remember my ICQ # (147xxxxx - set up around 1997 or 1998 I think) and my password - looking at the list of contacts, I suspect most if not all haven't logged in over 10 years. It's like a time capsule.
As long as the developers didn't chunks up the ending with silly mechanics to draw out the experience, games can also have this effect.
And because they were too greedy with their annoying ads.
Those aren't really messengers.
I remember there was a license issue about ICQ where they made you license everything you wrote on ICQ.. that's when I left the platform.

It's good to see that they eventually added end-to-end encryption.
Of course. Basic needs first. Let's start with a 4 days work-week, so people have time to breathe and think. (You can keep the same net salary, because if done in the whole country, this mechanically reduces unemployment and related insurances).

> "I'd like to also point out that, from an artistic perspective, the game had a coherent atmosphere and story. It was the first game I've seen where you could see the beginnings of games borrowing a little from movies. Visuals, story, and music told the same message and expressed the same spirit."

Maybe one of the first 3D games in its genre, but not the only game that had such things.

There were other games at the time or before that had similar aspects:

- Diablo (1996)

- Resident Evil (1996)

- The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall (1996)

- Warcraft II (1995)

- Command & Conquer (1995)

- Star Wars: Dark Forces (1995)

- X-COM (1994)

- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992)
Stupid question but why does it take more time to rebuild a 10 disks array than a 6 disks array. I mean modern PCIe can go several GB/s and the disks are in parallel, so it should take the same time to rebuild irrespective of how many disks.
Wow, let me be the first to say Thanks! I still use Miranda daily, both at my desktop computer at home and at my computer at work. Just chat, no fuzz.. Just the way I like it.

It seems that Miranda has forked into Miranda IM and Miranda NG, what are your thoughts about those two? Personally, I use Miranda NG because the Facebook plugin worked better in NG last time I compared the two.
You just posted a critique of the most prolific living computer scientist as not productive and then proceeded to compare yourself to him. Who are you? More to the point, how did you get to be so delusional?

Everybody is missing the elephant in the room with ICQ, which is why it was popular:

In my mid 20's, i'd come back from the pub drunk, login, search for girls online now near me and send them messages. Was usually somebody drunk at the other end, had a few fleeting relationships from that.

Nothing since, including Facebook, has had that same immediacy.
In lecture 6 of "How to start a startup", entitled "Growth", Alex Schultz touches on this point specifically in a hypothetical concern people might have of being too spammy. His point was that one should worry about the marginal user who doesn't get notifications, not about the power users who are grown ups and can set filters. Granted, SO is no longer a "startup" but growth is still relevant to it nonetheless and it is interesting to note that the question of emails is far from being over and done with.
Anybody using it in production yet?
Reminds me of Optimizely that was born out of Obama's campaign. Nice work!
> Every new email, except for transactional emails like “Forgot your password?”, sent through this system will have three links at the bottom: a one-click unsubscribe, a direct link to manage all categories, and feedback.

It's terrific that they're doing this. The first two links are what the CAN-SPAM Act requires. The "feedback" link is not a result of complying with CAN-SPAM, but is a good idea for any online business.

Take the House of Commons, which is the lower house of parliament in the UK. It is made of constituent members (whom some liken to planks...), which are routinely replaced. It remains the lower house of parliament, despite switching out all components on a routine basis. If you collected the ex-members of the House of Commons and made an identical grouping of people out of them, you would not have a second House of Commons - you'd just have a gathering of people. Abstract concepts don't nail themselves to physical objects.

Besides, create an entirely new ship out of the discarded planks, and the question becomes not "is that Theseus's ship?", but "why is Theseus removing perfectly functional planks from his ship and replacing them with identical ones?". :)
I started the article as a nant vs psake (PowerShell based build tool). Psake relies on PowerShell tools for things like copying files, which makes sense.

I'm working on a similar one using make instead, which uses shell commands and it's a lot better than both.
I know it's a lot easier to wholesale resell them, but it'd be so awesome if you could dedicate a portion to be sold to the homelabbers among us.
I'm not arguing things would not escalate that far. I'm arguing that things would not escalate so far that people are doing bombing runs on each others nuclear reactors without escalating to the point that nuclear weapons are used. At which point the damage from a cracked reactor seems minuscule in comparison.

I think I was introduced to ICQ when I started playing Ultima Online. Good times, better internets back then.
> What means simple?

Just things like not requiring complex set up steps and wiring up many different services with complicated configurations etc. Keeping things stateless (as much as possible) etc

> Also, do you talking about to stop CI/CD flow? Why not to provide a way to keep that flow on production?

Not sure what you mean, but slow tests can be a major problem. Most of the time these end up being due to no thought going in to not repeating the same setup steps zillions of times. As new tests are constantly added, it makes it harder and harder to keep builds/ci fast.
Yeah same here, mine was an 8 digit, so not super impressive. But still was stolen. Associated with a .ir email account now. Oh well.

Same sort of thing happens with low SteamIDs.

I'm always glad to see PLATO getting its due. We had a PLATO terminal in our house - beautiful wood frame with an orange plasma screen, hardwired in to the University of Illinois mainframe at 1200baud. Besides remembering playing a lot of Empire with the college kids, there was also a cyber-nanny called "The Enforcer" which admins could place on "educational" accounts to limit access to games at certain hours of the day (or if games were taking up too many resourced on the mainframe.) My Dad used The Enforcer as a very effective incentive to get my homework done.
This app looks fantastic! I'm impressed by the various photos posted on Primitive's twitter account: https://twitter.com/PrimitivePic

On a separate note @fogleman, would be able to talk a little about how you architected the app? I'm curious about how you've set up Objective-C communication with Go using NSTask and NSPipe.
Hm, never had a feeling like this at all. Been using VR since DK1, DK2, and CV1. At its current state, I think VR is really cool, and at times immersive, but it's just not immersive enough for me yet. I don't know about others, but the fact that I can see the peripheral edges of the lens breaks immersion for me most of the time. There are moments of immersion, but those are very rare. I tend to experience it in moments where I'm moving from an enclosed space to a very large open space (i.e. a tunnel in Half-Life 2 out to a city view). I think I will find VR very immersive when the lens are somehow able to wrap around your vision completely so that I can't see that I'm looking through goggles. Don't misunderstand me though, I think what we have now is incredibly cool and immersive. I did try the Vive controllers, and that really kicks up the immersion a whole lot. I'm waiting to buy the Oculus touch controllers.
And they always used their own software, it wasn't like a mobile eye product they licensed.

Islam works just as brutally even when it is not enforced by someone in power. For example in suburbans Muslim dominated parts of Indian cities, some streets of London etc. The only place where I see muslims being able to live peacefully and shed their Islamic beliefs is in USA where the law is applied uniformly and state does not feel the need to create a "safe space" for Muslims.

That's the point of filtering inputs from multiple navigation sources, though. One of them should be able to go wrong, it should be apparent, and the rest of the system should just be able to continue to function. There's ample experience integrating GPS, inertial, stellar (!), and so on.

Mostly I was responding the parent's comment about inertial, which is way off base. Inertial navigation is amazing.
Hey! I'm not sure if we ever talked, but I maintained Licq and did the rewrite when the protocol got switched to be like AIM.
