skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I totally acknowledge that it is missing the "why", I knew that from the beginning. The widget I built simply answers the "how". It's a very focused tool, and this kind of tool may be very useful in itself. It's a tool to be used in the context of other tools, like books and courses. Your ordinary calculator never answers the why question. And if the audience, who includes both students and teachers, isn't qualified to judge the quality of the work, who exactly is?

On a side note, it's disgusting (I find that an appropriate word) how hackernews threads are so harsh and negative. You can do a fun exploration: search for historical threads announcing tools and services that were revolutionary (Angular.js or React.js, to name a few), and you'll find a plethora of negative comments. If hackernews discussions are good judges of quality, absolutely everything in this world sucks.
Has the storage problem of hydrogen been solved? I thought that a) most containers leak hydrogen, and b) hydrogen makes (most) containers brittle over time?

Or do these new trains use some kind of (electric) hydrogen fuel cell, that doesn't work like traditional combustion?
> What is there on /r/Golang that they expect to see edited?

This is an insane question to ask. This is as flawed as arguing for mass surveillance because you have nothing to hide now.

The questions should instead be "can we trust our comments to not be edited when management disagrees?". What if future management starts loving python so much they decide to do something malicious to other programming languages? It wouldn't be hard to really hurt Go with the eyes of 25,000 Gophers subscribed.

All sites have this ability but few successful ones have demonstrated a willingness to use it. I fully expect that if Twitter or Facebook were caught doing this we would see an enormous backlash and huge drop in stock price. Then shortly after stockholders would demand the CEO leave.

Either you are the outlier or I am - I'm honestly not sure. But having consulted with a dozen or so digital agencies over the past year not a single one had the sort of monitoring that you're suggesting. This doesn't mean that it's a bad idea, quite the opposite, but in my experience the reality of a small to medium sized agency is that if a client isn't paying for it than you're not working on it.

The North parts of China did go bust (factories moved south) from being the wealthiest. Did not lead to a massive resistance.
As someone who almost lived on IRC in the 90s and now employs several people who use Slack almost all day, my take:

- it's an integrated system with a reliable client on iOS, Android, Mac, and PC that all work somewhat similarly and support all of the features

- dragging and dropping media just works

- the way URLs are expanded is nice, I've not seen any IRC client do this as well as Slack

- 'reactions' on chat items

- the search is great and it's integrated with every client on all those aforementioned platforms

- you can set quite complex sets of notifications for specific channels or conversations.. such as don't mobile notify me between certain hours, but then never mobile notify me for our #random junk channel.. stuff like that. Employees are very thankful for this feature.

- custom emojis, we use these more than you'd think.

- having our backend systems ping messages onto Slack is very easy, basically a single liner - I'd probably have to write some sort of HTTP to IRC bridge to replicate this.

- syncing of read/unread messages across clients

It all adds up.

There is a difference between a job you like, and a job you do because you believe "work sets you free" or because you believe work is a some sort of value or a necessary pain everybody has to take part in.

I'm unemployed and I really don't think I have any duties to work in fast food or to deliver pizza because I must contribute. If I decide I can live poor and be happy with welfare, I will. I think it's a great thing to be able to live a frugal life and still be healthy enough.

I hear so many people yelling about moochers and parasites, it's becoming weird. Everybody wants everybody to behave like superman, yet nobody realizes you can't educate everyone to have enough qualified workers.

My great fear is that as time passes, more and more people decide to live like I do, and economies might change because people stop consuming.

Until then, if there's not enough jobs, that's an artificially induced shortage (e.g. austerity).

Social anxiety seems to be really common for anxious people. I'm quite anxious, but I have no social anxiety. I have medical anxiety, like hypochondria. I was able to fix this by being really logical about it. Ie. if I was anxious I was having a stroke or something I would list the symptoms (fainting, paralysis, blurred vision, extreme nausea etc.) and tick off the ones I had (I invariably didnt have any of them, so I determined I was fine)

I was a big fan of Braintree. It got acquired by Paypal. They cause their users pain quite often since they're a dominant company that doesn't have to care:

https://lifehacker.com/5821634/why-you-should-ditch-paypal-a...

That puts Braintree into liability category as Paypal's influence on them increases. Leaves Stripe as safer bet for now if they don't pull stuff like that on customers regularly. If Stripe IPO's, they might turn into villains as well. However, there will be another startup or mid-sized company differentiating on quality of service by then. I'll recommend that one.

Note: If Stripe management is reading, I suggest that they continue to pull less crap than Paypal with better service as a continuing differentiator from this point on. It should always work. Braintree also succeeded that way when competing with payment processors.

but even this still has issues. Such as, what are the electors based off of, state wide popular vote? What about rounding, up or down? Each congressional district (for states with more than 1 congressional district, and how about the other 2 electoral votes? At-large, a hybrid approach, what else?), Some predetermined electoral districting? etc.

And even with that question answered, this doesn't necessarily fix the problem, as it's still quite easy to have the electoral college votes not match the popular vote. So what's the real point of the modern electoral college? It just makes for a more complex, less precise, less democratic system overall.
Indeed; if you have the Active Kernel Exploit Response feature enabled in grsec, and a root process triggers a kernel OOPS, it will panic() the kernel.

You can combine this with the panic= kernel command-line argument to set a reboot delay, but for headed (rather than headless) boxes it may be more desirable to keep the panic message up to see what process triggered it.

Ask HN: How do you switch between projects simply, quickly and efficiently?
I work on multiple projects at once, mainly saas / web apps. I do everything: sketching, designing, developing, writing, marketing, etc.

For each project I need to launch multiple apps and documents: a few terminals (let's say task runner and server), at least 1 browser window, an IDE like Sublime, and maybe Sketch, or a spreadsheet, or some evernotes, etc.

Because I'm working on 2 to 3 different projects in the same day, switching a lot between them, I prefer to keep ALL the apps and documents open for all those projects. All. At the same time.

Which is, if you ask my laptop (more specifically, its RAM), a bad idea.

Now I have 2 (unsatisfying) solutions:

1. close all apps and documents for projects which I'm not actively working on. Then, few minutes or hours later, spend multiple real minutes opening all the apps and documents related to that project, so I can pick up work where I left it (hoping I didn't forget what I was doing, but that's another issue).

2. be a lot more organized and focus on 1 single project per day. Heck, that would still mean I have to switch apps every day. So let's say I need to focus on 1 project per week. I'm not sure I can do that. I know, context-switching is bad, etc. but I can't see myself working on 1 single thing per day.

Am I simply bad at organizing my work? Should I try sticking to 1 single project per day? Does anyone else have the same issues, and need to do a dozen different things every day, on different projects?

What solutions do you have to switch between projects simply, quickly and efficiently?
Chinese factories aren't that bad....whence I started talking about the labor standards in nearby Indian factories he was shocked.
Tesla's "Gigafactory" currently has just the assembly line for battery packs that used to be in Fremont. LG's factory in Holland, MI is the largest battery factory in the US and is set up for easy expansion.[1]

Tesla is still learning how to scale.

What I've tried so far:

- setting up shortcuts / shell scripts to quickly open my terminals + apps. That's cool for the first few days, then scripts are obsolete because no, I don't need to open Sketch anymore, and the command to run the server has changed again, and... ok, I'll just launch everything by hand.

- same solution but a bit more elegant with https://github.com/TomAnthony/itermocil/. Same issue.

- this one is definitely a win: I set up different tab sessions, ready to be opened in 1 click, with this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/edacconmaakjimmfgn.... This answers only a small part of the problem though.

- use multiple desktops (macOS): all apps related to the same project are grouped on the same workspace. I like this a lot, making it really easy to "switch context" between different projects. But that doesn't solve at all the performance issue.

The correct answer might be both.

There's a really nice ASP.NET Core SPA Service plugin[1]. Basically, it handles integration between ASP.NET Core and Node/Webpack/React or Angular 2 so that when you run your application from Visual Studio or the .NET CLI, you also get React/Angular server side pre-rendering, hot module reloading, and server/client side route syncing that mostly just works.

For Presidential elections the electioneering arithmetic is significantly more complex than voters per elector though, and doesn't evenly favour states of any particular size.

Ultimately what matters is percentage swing to the other major party for the state to change electoral vote, scaled by the size of the state and realistic probability of the swing actually happening.

Wyoming might have fewer voters per elector than Florida, but as solidly Republican as states get there's not much point in paying it any attention beyond the primaries, whereas the priorities of a few thousand Cuban exiles in Florida can shape foreign policy because they frequently play a major role in determining the eventual president. And a smallish electoral bribe in the form of investment allocated to populous areas of large states Michigan and Wisconsin would, for better and for worse, probably have swung it for Clinton.

California is at the rougher end of both scales, both under-represented per head and unlikely to change hands. But you'd also probably be less likely to be ignored in a pure popular vote election if you lived in Wyoming, especially if you were amongst the minority of Wyoming residents willing to vote for either party depending on the individual candidates' programmes.
