I guess this is sarcasm. I was only responding implicitly to your initial question:

>>When was the last time you engaged with a company with a view to working with them because you saw an ad they happened to post in the right fora?

So, yes, hn is where I engage with a company with a view with working with them where they happen to post in the right forum. Suddenly your point is that it isn't a good place to find jobs? Maybe not, but that wasn't your original point. You're moving the goalposts.
Wooo! I am the 3%.

I purchased a 2015 Subaru WRX and it is a huge upgrade from a 1996 Dodge Neon when it comes to using a manual. It isn't jerky when you shift and has features to keep you from rolling back on a hill when you press in the clutch.

I learned to drive on a standard, and I feel like I have much more control over the car with a standard transmission.
Ask HN: Is Julian Assange both dead and alive?
The Car Talk guys addressed this and agreed with you. It's better to use the brakes to slow down since they're ablative and designed to be replaced with wear. Causing the engine to do extra revolutions means extra wear on something that's quite difficult to replace/repair...

That said, I drive a manual and use the engine for braking...

you implying that I support the idea of any person telling any other person to kill themselves.

!? Holy shit dude, if that's what I implied, I apologize, because that was absolutely not my intent whatsoever. That statement was directed at Twitter, not you.

That was an awfully artful way of saying you were full of shit without having to actually admit you were wrong.

I was wrong. Better? I was more interested in trying to figure out how and why I was wrong.

but instead you went with "a liberal conspiracy to allow threats towards conservatives" despite the incredible ease of finding counter examples.

Fine, we'll instead go with "a liberal conspiracy to to place angry conservative tweets as more important than terrorist propaganda", something for which there is plenty of evidence of.
I agree. Just as long as we don't let safety fall by the wayside in order to speed progress (it has happened before, and it will happen again: see early nuclear refinement).

Map Caps Lock key to Escape key, or any to any key, on Windows systems.

I am very happy about it because my wife (then girlfriend) was the first user of this little tool and she still uses it everyday. She likes that this tool is unobtrusive and it silently remaps Caps Lock to Escape which is very convenient while using Vim.

From the download count I know that there are more people using it now but I don't know who they are.
Why are you belittling it as a knee-jerk reaction and sad?

A group of people is experiencing horrible and unjust treatment. The implication of the situation is they don't matter, and the correct reformist statement is that they do matter.

Black lives matter also is not the correct statement. It is the correct understanding of the while situation but you need to keep in mind the nuance of language.
How is that shocking news?

I've setup my iPhone 7 from scratch without backup and curiously found my call log after logging into iCloud again. I was surprised but didn't think too much about it (my privacy threshold is perfectly fine with meta data being privately stored 'in the cloud') and it's not exactly hidden.

Honda Civic 06 i-Drive (CVT) will shift into lower gear, thus engine brake, if you brake hard enough to trigger the shift threshold. And you can go directly into manual override whenever you hit the wheel paddles or push/pull the stick.
>> Just what the previous commentor said: saves on wear and tear on the brake pads.

When I was learning how to drive a manual, my Dad was a huge fan of them and all of our family cars were manual. I was taught that it makes a huge difference when you're driving in the mountains to use engine braking instead of your brakes. He also explained the difference in braking in traffic and using engine braking to do so and how it supposedly saves on gas as well - something about idling the engine versus continuing to have the engine running?

I'd be interested to hear from people who regularly drive in the mountains and the advantages/disadvantages of engine braking versus using your brakes and if that was some myth or actually real.

The problem is of course that Trump winning is actually GREAT NEWS for the majority of the writers of the dross this article rails against.

I mean sure Bezos might feel a bit silly, you buy a whole newspaper to help influence the proles and they still vote wrong! But he's not actually writing the articles. The people writing the articles now have a whole juicy 4 years to peddle outrage and the eyeballs that fund them will lap it up.

The problem is that the vast majority of people creating content are not selling that content. We do not have a market of ideas or a market of information we have a market of viewer eyeballs. And in that market peddling emotionally appealing hyperbolic lies is apparently great business.

That was certainly true for older automatics. However, the tranny in my 2 yrs old bmw 3 seems to be freaking prescient. It seems to always be in the right gear at the right time and transitions are buttery smooth. I tried playing with manual gear control, via stick or shift paddles for old times sakes. But the result is noticeably messier. And btw, it's not a dual clutch.

I grew up in a rural area with gravel roads. You can totally drive 55 mph with an automatic. I will agree with you on the traction control features; they are not very helpful when they engage on gravel or in any significant accumulation of snow. However, if the traction control is engaging regularly, you might be driving a bit too aggressively.

How Python Makes Working with Data More Difficult in the Long Run
Yes, that. I always feel managers are pressured to make sure devs are worked 8 hours a day, necessarily or not. As for side projects, it is really hard to keep a flow doing that knowing that at any time you may be given a "real task" or a maintenance issue to work on. Maybe contractors have a different work day since they are paid by the hour to do specific things, but full time always have the issue of nothing to do but not being allowed to go home or work on something to enhance knowledge.

May I ask you what you hope to achieve by raising these points?

This question is not meant to be facetious, I would like to hear from you what effect you hope to have by raising them and who you hope to influence.

I have seen many many people raise points like this over and over again and have come to the conclusion that it seems mostly to be tailored towards people who already think such point raised are 'bad' and so it's of limited effect on those who might support Bad Thing regardless.

But I may well be wrong.

I'm aiming to come across as non-combative here and am interested in hearing how you or others who raise point like this hope them to influence others.

Perhaps you don't intend for them to do so and are just sharing an opinion? I have seen lots of people share this sort of thing e.g 'He's not X but others near him are X so I imply you shouldn't support him'.

That might not be your intent, but if it is, can you expand on how you think this would be effective?

And again, this isn't meant to be singling you out, I'm interested in the conceptual argument of how we influence others.
What scenarios would you suggest to have?
I appreciate your work, and I see that the site has improved a lot since last time I visited it! I also noted that some of my complaints have already been addressed (well, at least by gitlab. bitbucket not so much)

I have two suggestions regarding discoverability: when I visit a developers homepage I normally want to see his bio and his projects, not his latest commits (which is the current landing page). I assume the former is also more cache friendly and less expensive to generate for gitlab.

Furthermore, on github when I find a great developer I always look who they follow and sometimes also who follows them. This together with the star system is a great discovery tool (although it also fills your start page with endless commit messages from other people). Something similar to this but more automated and less noisy would be highly appertained.
I kinda assumed that after I had my call history on my Mac and iPad Facetime apps, since it is possible to call using any iOS/macOS device in the network.

You don't always have the phone reachable, so I assumed it syncs over iCloud.
All lives matter is a direct response to black lives matter and is trying to nullify the claims of the latter. It is functionally abusive because it actively fights increased awareness of the racism that BLM was(is) working towards.

It’s not just regular call logs that get sent to Apple’s
servers. FaceTime, which is used to make audio and video calls
on iOS devices, also syncs call history to iCloud
automatically, according to Elcomsoft. The company believes
syncing of both regular calls and FaceTime call logs goes back
to at least iOS 8.2, which Apple released in March 2015.

...

Generally, if someone were to attempt to download data in an
iCloud account, the system would email a notification to the
account owner. But Katalov said no notification occurs when
someone downloads synced call logs from iCloud.

Apple acknowledged that the call logs are being synced and said
it’s intentional.

> You are not paid to write code

Well, actually yes, yes I am. You can make a compelling case that this shouldn't be the case, or that they people paying me are shooting themselves in the foot running things the way they're running things, but the fact remains that in today's daily standup/weekly status report/what have you done for me lately "agile" corporate environment, I am absolutely paid to write code and if I don't write code, they'll stop paying me.

Feeding large amounts of excess PV solar-generated power back to the grid is problematic because neither the grid nor most residential solar installations have any storage capacity. If you return power to the grid, it must be used somewhere else immediately. As I understand it, peak PV generation times don't coincide with peak grid demand times.
This appears to be an update to a content blocker that has existed for quite some time. I've had this app installed for a long time, but the integrated browser is new.

I'm hoping nobody actually does this in production. As an academic exercise it is interesting.

Maybe I'm old fashioned - I'm all for flexible APIs and all, but to its point. If a customer sends rotten stuff, it should just be rejected with a 40x code.

At minimum, check to make sure it is proper JSON... I know that a lot of stream processors will put it into a queue and 200 right away and then process in the background, but I don't think that ensuring it is at least JSON and doesn't have a content size of more than X could be too intensive.

In this case, if the data was already accepted and you've got no choice but to deal with it, you've gotta do what you got to do. I've been there, and it ain't fun cleaning up a 900 GB JSON file.

For every fuel-injected engine the ECU should cut injection when coasting. So "recently" in your case applies to carburettors which will behave as if the engine were idle and thus still feed fuel to the engine. I'm not sure 25 years ago counts as "recently".

It's an interesting discussion. I've driven both stick and automatic for 35+ years. The choice was usually whatever I could lay my hands on, such as various cast-off, used, and borrowed cars.

My family owned a full size Dodge van with a 3-speed automatic that was quite primitive, but we took it on vacations, and drove it under the most absurd conditions -- snow, ice, gravel, dirt, off-road, you name it. There were specialized vehicles for off-road use, but not a lot of people had them. It was before the era of the SUV.

I think if you drive an automatic car for a while, especially one as bad as that Dodge van, you develop a feel for when it's going to shift. You can nudge it up and down with the gas pedal. This is just a matter of being an attentive driver.

Today, I prefer automatic, but am not in a hurry to get rid of our one car with stick. I just like automation and convenience. Stepping on a pedal and pushing a lever back and forth hundreds of times, just to get from A to B in one piece, seems gratuitous. Hell, my wash machine chooses gears by itself, why shouldn't my car?

I definitely made sure my daughter learned to drive stick. She took her drivers test on it.

Is fuel economy important? Sure, but I save fuel in many ways: Driving a smaller car, combining / eliminating trips, riding my bike, carpooling, etc. When I see a giant SUV being used for daily commuting, I doubt the automatic tranny is the reason why it's a waste of fuel.
National intelligence chief Clapper resigns
Is there any word on this being released for Android at some point?
I mean, the data is still there, fwiw. I'm not sure how generic bitlocker is, but i imagine i have to have a tool specifically tailored to decrypt the bitlocker data.

With Camlistore it's one level extracted. You'd need a tool to decrypt and scoop up all the chunks for a given file - but you could write that in Bash. The Camlistores blob store doesn't do anything fancy (that i recall! i could be wrong), it's just a bunch of json documents with the file contents in them.

Though, Googling it now, it looks like BitLocker comes with Windows, so i can see why you like that. Your family doesn't need any tool, it's built into Windows. Not sure how that works with OSX though.

> What if the ABI breaks, the CPU architecture changes

Totally valid - but i could throw what ifs all day long. What if your family isn't on Windows? Here[1] is what i got for OSX (no idea if it's accurate).

Though this does raise a good point - while a binary is nice for dependency free solutions, having non-bin solutions might be nice too. Eg, a Pyhton solution included is likely to work on all operating systems. The user has to of course install Python, which is bad. A platform specific solution (bash or dos) might be handy too.

Binarys only would indeed be potentially bad, you are correct, thank you!

> or the project gives up at some point in the future?

Well in my proposal, the project is irrelevant. The exporter is already made. As long as the user can run one of the compiled binaries they could access/export it fully (in the concept, of course)

Ask HN: Where to find technical cofounders for side projects?
I'm looking for a technical cofounder who can help build out a SaaS app for a simple and free productivity web app that I currently own. The site gets 300K visitors per month, and a paid tier could generate a good side income.

However, I'm having trouble finding development partners. I would rather split any income with someone who can build out the site and spend 1-2 hrs maintaining it every month than just hire someone to do it one off and pay every time a small bug pops up. Any ideas on where to find good 'cofounders'? Or people interested in joining a side project?
