Well, actually, we do. If our overhead for producing working development code is greater than say, oh, 5 seconds, then somebody out there is definitely kicking our ass on cycle times. That developer can fail 300 times in an hour. If it takes 200 failures before success, it will take a miniumum of 40 minutes to resolve an issue with a 5s cycle time. If our cycle time is 5 minutes because of all the multi-compile overhead, our minimum time for success will be 72 times longer, or over two full work-day. So we can pick 40 minutes or 2.1 days to resolve an issue to the same level of completeness. You make the call.

I'm presently working my way through Programming in the 1990s. In it's controversial premise, it states:

Basically we are taught to guess our programs, and then to patch up our guesses. Our errors are given the cute name of "bugs". Fixing them becomes puzzle-solving, as does finding tricks that exploit or avoid poorly designed features of the programming language. The entire process is time-consuming and expensive.

And while I appreciate short cycle-times between code and result; I find "guessing my program into existence" is the most sure-fire way to shoot myself in the foot.

Now I don't write a specification for every program. However one doesn't have to these days to gain the benefits of fore-thought and reasoning. Functional programming has revealed many patterns and algebras for programs that work well in practice. If compiling a higher-level, soundly-typed language into Javascript takes an excruciating 5 seconds it'd still be worth it because I will have fewer bugs in my code, by design, over the developer that continually adds code in a hurried frenzy.

In spirit I agree that frameworks are restrictive but I don't see how Javascript is there to help prevent you from writing errors. A framework would at least give you the ground work to avoid egregious ones. Though better still, use functional programming patterns or languages if you can and compile down to Javascript if you must. Works well.

If after the overwhelming evidence, you can't still reach a reasonable agreement, I think that is a very good reason to not marry someone. That is a the kind of pattern that would repeat for the rest of the life, and at some point you will max out and burst by spoiling the marriage.

Why not instead be with someone who you can reason?
Surely a nice car. But I wonder where all this electrical power for all those electrical cars in the future will come from? Probably from nuclear power plants with their still unresolved nuclear waste problematics - not even speaking about nuclear accidents. From this point of view I have some doubts that mass adoption of affordable electrical cars will be beneficial for the environment...

They must have changed how it worked for a while. I've been subscribing to YouTube channels without a YouTube account for about a year now. In the "Uploads" section of a channel, there's been a "link" tag to the RSS feed in the markup which most RSS clients will detect, if not, you could copy the link right out of the markup.
I personally did a lot of classification of my personal preferences when I was younger also.

When I saw a model that I felt an attraction to, I would study her features until I could say, "Her eyebrows" or "Her lips" were what I found attractive. After years of this, I knew what my ideal idol would look like.

Its funny, now that I am married happily, that my wife doesn't look anything like that idol. I value her love, companionship, loyalty, and other traits of behaviour, more that her appearance.

Having worked at a place which sold software to TLA's among other customers, I heard (let's say) stories of those agencies being able to pirate software at will. The main reason is that they are installed on secure computers, physically disconnected from the Internet at large, so there was no way to phone home in order to detect if more than one copy was using the same key.

Who picks their operating system first? IMHO, the OS is only there to support the applications I need to use. If those applications are available only on Windows, then your advice isn't very useful.

So I would say your advice isn't helpful. Microsoft has a financial relationship with their users (especially their business users) and despite what many people think, they do listen to their customers. So I would say the best way to fix Windows 10 is to continue to let Microsoft know that you aren't happy with specific changes they've made.

I certainly can do the substitution. But there are multiple options for the substitution:
* Substitute from my own hyper-progressive stance. (Great for feeling good about myself and hating on him.)
* Substitute from his stance. (Great for understanding my opponent.)
* Substitute only a logical equivalence.

I recommend the second, but as a neutral starting point to break out of the mindset of the first, I'd recommend trying the third. As in, put yourself in your formal symbolic logic class, replace "women voting" and "good governance and policy" with X and Y and evaluate it.

Your statement, "X doesn't necessarily result in Y" (which admittedly is not his statement), logically means exactly "It's possible for X to happen and Y to not happen."

So, Thiel believes, to use the logical evaluation of your rephrasing, that it's possible for women to vote and for there still to be bad policy.

Women DID vote, so the only the determining the truth of the logical evaluation of your rephrasing is whether we have (or will have post January 20) bad policy. Right now, Trump's promising some bad policy.
Thank you and well done. It's very nice.

Unless you are accessing the Pi over SSH you will probably be using a GUI. VS Code will be running inside the window manager (LXDE). It's not something you run from a CLI.

The main version of NOOBS has X starting by default these days. Even the standard Raspbian image has a GUI, but you can use the lite version for headless servers (https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/). This is similar to Ubuntu Server but different to NOOBS lite, which is just a small network installer.

> something really bad needs to happen to move things in the right direction.

Something really bad already happened: genocide. What else needs to happen?

The Netherlands (among others) required everybody to register their basic info, including religion, with local authorities. This made it very simple for the Germans to know whom to deport.

Your data can be used for other things than originally intended. But people do not learn.

So you may be right. More really bad things need to happen.

That is interesting. I wouldn't say it puts Tesla in direct competition with LG & Samsung, but does address the 'how will they ever catch up?' questions wrt traditional car makers. (Not that I'd give these arguments that much credence.)

A commoditised battery/drivetrain solution allows the incumbents to focus on what they do best - building high quality cars at scale. So in this respect the challenge lies with Tesla.

(FWIW I'm a huge Tesla fan but I enjoy reading EV articles on HN because the discourse is a bit more balanced than more pro-Tesla communities.)
I find it interesting to read everyone's reactions here, both positive and negative. As long as it's not trolling, or being rude to others, why shouldn't one feel free to leave their thoughts?

GPU passthrough.

Requires a recent or non-K intel CPU with IOMMU though and the chipset has to play nice.

I'm using it on my machine in conjunction with Synergy to passthrough keyboard and mouse between host and VM seamlessly.

Performance hit: somewhere between 5% and -2% (some games actually run faster in the VM than on baremetal, most notably KSP and CSGO)

Setup is not trivial, as it will probably require an ACS-patched kernel if your CPU is older and also needs VFIO kernel parameters to be maintained.

If you do this, I recommend Arch, as the performance on the newer kernels is sometimes better (due to KVM/Xen and QEMU improvements)

Also lots of RAM and Swap. You're gonna need lots of it.

If you are in the US, the same phone has different submodels for each US operator, and some of these submodels (likely from AT&T and Verizon) may have a locked bootloader, preventing you from installing custom ROMs.

This is - I think - an arbitrary question. What is "sane" in this context is simply what's culturally normative: it varies from place to place, and has no practical or logical reason for being set at any certain number other than the cultural history of that place and happenstance.

People are very good at adapting to and becoming comfortable with what is considered normative.

There are two things that make me trust WhatsApp more than the competition:

1. In the UAE, where VoIP is illegal, the government was not able to selectively block voice traffic since it is indistinguishable from text traffic. So they had to ask WhatsApp to block voice functionality whenever a user is in the UAE.

2. If you lose your phone, you cannot recover your messages. Now, you may claim that they're just not providing a frontend option to do this, but would that make financial sense? You are potentially losing users who want their messages backed up so you can... falsely claim that you don't store messages?

3. Similar to 2), WhatsApp desktop cannot work without your phone being connected, again because that's the only way to access your messages.
I'm sorry, who exactly is us? I didn't realize that by becoming a programmer, I'm now morally responsible for the actions of every single programmer out there in the world. I didn't realize that i should now look in the mirror and blame myself because some guy I never met decided to follow his CEO's orders and implemented a backdoor in their product.

There is no us. There's just hundreds of thousands of individuals, each doing their own thing. Some are angels, some are assholes, and a lot are in the middle. If you think that getting 500,000 people to make a pinky promise to be good is going to prevent shit from happening, that's just delusional thinking. No matter what you or I do, there will always be some asshole Investor/CEO/PM/programmer out there who will screw over people's privacy in order to make money, and you guilt-tripping the other 499,999 programmers is not going to change that.

If we want to stop shit from happening, we need systems in place to do that. Either regulatory, certification or market-based systems that catch and punish bad actors. In the absence of such systems, expect dysfunctional outcomes regularly.

Here's a link to the actual paper, the times article read more like a footnote.
Ask HN: How do I pitch my dev services to an agency?
Looking for some advice. I've been out on my own doing contract for over a year now. Right when I started I lucked out and got a long term contract through a friend. That contract is now coming to a close and I need to start looking for some new clients. I've never had to search for clients until now.

I've followed the advice from a lot of different threads on HN and Reddit and have generated quite a few leads to follow. I did some research on the companies and now I'm ready to send out an email to pitch my services on an agency lead. This is where I drew a blank.

I'm sure I've gotten into my own head now, but this company didn't ask for my services. I want to come off as a good resource for them to reach out to if they need extra help on projects, but also don't want to sound like I'm desperate for work. I really want to stay on the contract/freelance side of things because I like the lifestyle and the hours so full time is out of the question at least for now.

So basically how would I go about formatting this email so that it's not long-winded/doesn't sound desperate/gives them a good look into my skill set so that actually has a chance of getting read?

Just FYI, I have almost 7 years experience. I've been working on frontend for most of the past year with React, Node, and React Native, but just finished building out a full stack mobile and web app. Consider myself to be pretty well rounded with a frontend focus.

Thanks.

Pretty much it'll use whatever desktop environment you have installed (if you have one installed).
