Closing /r/golang would only hurt the people who subscribe to /r/golang, which is probably not /u/spez.

If I'm mad at the US president, burning down my house isn't an effective protest and would hurt basically everyone but the president.
Wal-mart pickup for groceries is amazing, too. You don't even have to get out of the car, and everything is cold and fresh (they have separate fridges/freezers for pickup orders).

... of course, you still have to carry the stuff in and find space in the fridge yourself ...
About 4 years ago, a friend i know used a 3-4d level computer against me for a fraction of his game. I noticed something was off, i actually thought he was being substituted, but it didnt cross my mind it was a bot. However, it was a very tactical situation.

Looking at alpha, something similar but at higher level happens: it looks so profoundly tactical that its hard to catch character from it. I can tell how Lee felt however: like i felt playing people close to his level, like you play a wall that you cant read.
I always find myself saying the same about humans... usually when I'm sitting on an airplane:

It concerns me that in approximately 195,000 years of human history (arguably), this is as far as we've managed to come in terms of intra-planetary travel.

It boggles the mind that with the combined ingenuity of the human race, over a period of 195,000 years, we haven't come up with anything more efficient than airplanes. I find it quite pathetic honestly. I expected better of us. It's quite disappointing really.

We wage pointless wars to extract resources from countries we don't want to negotiate fairly with in the name of riches and greed and frankly we've got better things we could and should be doing.
VLC probably has a lower barrier to entry than some projects, but this advice still grates every time I hear it. There's a lot of things that could potentially stop someone contributing to VLC, even the ability to build it from source.
Murder is illegal but that doesn't prevent it from happening. Because the law isn't a prevention method - some people choose to keep their personal views private rather than risk their lives, livelihood, or even just scrutiny within their social circles. (Not all punishments have to be as extreme as death for privacy to be important. I want to make that clear since I started with a rather extreme punishment for having the wrong beliefs.)

>If I uphold "wrong belief", last thing I want to is to make it secret. The more people know about it, the more popular it is, the more people understand it, more chance for it to be not 'wrong' anymore.

Oh, I agree with this! But I also think it is a personal choice if someone wishes to strongly advocate for their beliefs - with all the repercussions that may follow - or if they would rather privately hold their beliefs without fear of repercussion. Not everyone wishes to be made a martyr.

The keyboard on the new MBP is an improvement from the new MacBooks, but it still doesn't feel as good as the keyboard from the 2013 MBPs IMO. On the other hand, the larger trackpad is fantastic and makes a big difference when browsing, etc.

The touchbar is a wash for me, not having a real ESC is kinda weird, but it's not a deal-breaker for me (although I don't use terminal-based editors often.)

The biggest frustration for me is the dongles, I have to carry around 4 of them in order to maintain my workflow and device connectivity. I get the argument that Apple is nudging us forward on this, but they sacrificed a lot of usability and convenience in getting rid of the current gen ports, and I notice this daily.
Countries following a rule "you own the land, use it whatever way you like" are living just fine as well
What kind of safeguards could be put in place that couldn't be disabled or overridden by the admins?
Seems odd so this means the money making isn't going that well.
I understand you when you say "it's just surviving. Dead time", that is what I think about it and that's one of the reasons I'm fighting now. I don't reach the point of not getting out of the room/flat but I tend to avoid dinner or lunch in restaurants with a lot of people, and doing some things alone like going to buy clothes or so. It helps to go accompanied by someone you trust but I also understand you when you feel bad talking about it with others, I also feel the same. Some situations are avoided because you had a panic attack in the past and think it can happen again in the future. Social interactions are feared the most. That's why in your room you feel safe. I've heard about people not even moving from the half of the bed they feel its 'safe'.

After some months with bad mood, kind of depressed, and after realizing my psycologist wasn't working I told myself to go find another one specialized in this kind of disorders. The change was unbelievable. He told me what I was feeling was totally 'normal' symptoms, we went broke down the Cognitive aspects, motor aspects and psychophysiological aspects (I have them on paper) that we feel when we suffer anxiety. He explained to me a lot of what is happening and WHY, that brought me a calming sensation of not being alone/rare/unique. I am now working (I have homework from session to session) about what situations activate bad feelings and automatic thoughts so we can reprogram them and deactivate those bad beliefs that provoque anxiety/panic attacks. My psycologist assures me that if I work hard with the tools he gives me I will definitely overcome anxiety, and for the time being I'm amazed at how he understands everything I'm going through. He has given me hope, which is something I needed. We also talked about taking medicines, I haven't tried them, but as a friend says, I think they just help you to work on this, they kind of push you forward (a little), then you just can stop taking them.

A very important thing he has also told me is to do Sport, have hobbies, etc. He names them "valves" that lower our anxiety levels or help compress our problems to generate less anxiety.

I don't accept living with anxiety as I think it is not permanent and I've seen improvements over time. I think this couple (she) hasn't received the right treatment. It's not easy but you have to confront your fears, analize them and create a new belief that substitutes them, some of these beliefs come from when you were young or have been there since you were a kid but now they hurt you more.
That's horrible PR for AMD, whether it's their fault or not.

I don't really care about Apple losing some money over this, they are ridiculously rich, they will be fine. AMD, on the other hand, is the only company that forces the CPU and GPU prices down. Though recently they have fallen quite far behind Intel.
Legal votes? Not likely and also not likely she got the plural vote. Yes, even if 100% of the difference were legal (they aren't) it's not a majority, it's a plurality.
Very nice CSS Visual Guide.

My other wish to really really learn CSS.... A list of CSS problems to solve ala project Euler. You get a visual example and you have to make it look identical. Then you get to see other solutions for the same problem.
Ask HN: Feeling stagnated after 5 years of building software
I've spent 5 years building and shipping relatively interesting and cutting edge projects for the startup(s) I've worked at. But I'm at a point where I'm feeling stagnated in terms of value.

Although the project I'm working on (for my company) is quite complex, I think the I could have shipped the same software 3 years ago with the current state of technology. With just a little more time, and not too many more bugs. It's like the trough of sorrow (http://www.plab.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/startup-curve.png) but as applied to building software and products.

How have you gotten past this stage? How have you leveraged your experience to create significantly more value than you would have 3 years ago?
No. The story is about fakenews. It's not about whatever other problems you might have. Talking about a specific problem doesn't mean we're disposing of other problems. On the other hand, requiring us to talk about other problems before we discuss a specific problem is a form of censorship (or trolling, which often has censorship as its ultimate aim).
Is it really true that /r/golang is friendlier than go-nuts? If so then Golang should make /r/golang official and wind down go-nuts. Community friendliness is way more important than platform politics, and the unfriendliness on go-nuts might turn some people off to Golang.
Microsoft gives company access to telemetry from every device running Windows 10
I pay Netflix with my paypal account that has a fake address that doesn't exist anywhere in the world.
Of course, but like I said in another post, human beings are not 100% rational 100% of the time, particularly when suffering from a barrage of abuse.
What is a census if it's not a form of mass surveillance?

It's mandatory, you get in trouble for not doing it and it's a legal document, thus you can get in trouble for not filling it out properly.

How is that redefining anything? That is in itself mass surveillance... albeit manual and participatory mass surveillance, but still mass surveillance nevertheless.
The worst side effect of how my ISP implements this is the failure mode for DNS queries. Instead of returning an error code, they actually return a marketing page. That page contains a fake search engine, with results. If you look at the "results", they are all ads for the ISP I'm already on...
In the 90s in my little corner of the mid Atlantic US at least, it was very commonly called a T1 or DS1 and the terms were used interchangeably even though they refer to slightly different things (at least by sysadmins; use the terms wrong around a telecom equipment engineer and you'd likely get corrected).
Don't give them any ideas. I'm sure they'd try to tax torrents if they could.
I like to share what Windows 10 actually collects from us and discuss seriousness of its consequences if there are any.

Under Privacy > Feedback & Diagnostics settings, there are these four options. One must choose one of these four options.

Security level

> The Security level gathers only the telemetry info that is required to keep Windows devices, Windows Server, and guests protected with the latest security updates. Data gathered at this level includes the Malicious Software Removal Tool reports, information that Windows Defender and Endpoint Protection require to function. This includes anti-malware signatures, diagnostic information, User Account Control settings, UEFI settings, and IP address. No user content, such as user files or communications, is gathered at the Security telemetry level, and we take steps to avoid gathering any information that directly identifies a company or user, such as name, email address, or account ID

Basic Level

> The Basic level gathers a limited set of data that’s critical for understanding the device and its configuration. This level also includes the Security level data. Basic device data such as attributes, Internet Explorer version, hardware information, operating system information, network attributes and more are collected at this level. Collected data includes app usage data, Internet Explorer add-ons, driver data, system data, Windows Store activity and more on top of that.

Enhanced Level

> The Enhanced level gathers data about how Windows and apps are used and how they perform. This level also includes data from both the Basic and Security levels. Operating system events, app events, device specific events and "some" crash dump types are included at this level.

Full Level

> The Full level gathers data necessary to identify and to help fix problems, following the approval process described below. This level also includes data from the Basic, Enhanced, and Security levels. Microsoft may pull additional information from a device if the diagnostics request is approved by Microsoft’s privacy governance team, including privacy and other subject matter experts.

I also like to know if MS also collects anything beyonds this without my consent.

I would think that deleting a comment would be less controversial than editing a comment. Deleting a comment without needing the moderators involved is a power I would entirely expect an admin to wield.
Just picked up a 32" 4K monitor, and I think it's about the perfect size for dev.

- 140 DPI is about perfect IMO. It's "almost-retina" for a 2 foot viewing distance. Yes, there are benefits from having a higher DPI, but once you hit retina you definitely hit the point of diminishing returns. The DPI is also low enough so that if you very occasionally use an app that doesn't scale, it's still moderately usable.

- it's a good height. A lot of coding tasks really benefit from a reasonable amount of vertical height, and the shift to 16:9 screens has really hurt that. But too much height gives you a crick in your neck if you use the full height. I think the 16" of a 32" monitor is about right.

Unfortunately 32" UHD is quite expensive. 40" UHD is inexpensive because it has the volume of crappy TV panels, and 27/28" is inexpensive because it seems to be the volume point right now. To get a reasonably priced one you need to get a Korean model from EBay. I have the QNIX UHD3216R.

What are the best (relevant) deals for early stage startups for this years Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Especially interested in SaaS deals.
> For a given SKU Amazon takes the memory cards from its own inventory and inventory from all other resellers who have opted into the "Fulfilled by Amazon" program

No. Sellers have to opt-in to co-mingle, so it's certainly not "all other resellers".

Besides, I think co-mingle only applies to resellers's stock, ie Amazon stock and 3rd party sellers' stock aren't put together in the same basket -- although I could be wrong about that.
Chromebook that I boot elementaryos on, vscode, azure, redis, jupyter notebooks, and Julia language.

With these tools I can do basically anything. Better put, I have yet to find something I CAN'T do. Maybe someday...
Hey x0f1a,

Just laziness from my side, I have to admit. It is just a preview, so I thought one build using 32bits is fine for everyone, it's not an everyday build.

The nightly builds are still both 32 and 64bits and will work fine, as soon as all patches are in.
Yes, except... What if saturation is 0.001? Or 0.01? Where is the limit?

I don't have a better solution though.
Just because something makes money for someone doesn't mean it magically becomes ethical. Neither does it become ethical if other people do it too.

Late 2013 MacbookPro, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd. I do all my development in a VirtualBox 5.1 Ubuntu VM. I keep my host OS 100% free of any development stuff now. Just SSH in and let rip.

macOS seems to be more stable under this setup, and if I need any tools I'd normally get from homebrew on the host (say, I want to download a Youtube video using youtube-dl) I just do it in the VM into a shared folder.

I'll probably replace this laptop when it dies with the HP Z2 Mini which was on HN a week or two ago running Linux directly since I want more than 16gb ram and Apple doesn't think that's worth supporting.

Quick, someone sell the water rights to Nestle for pennies on the dollar and let private industry extract it so that we can avoid paying taxes to get it ourselves and have it sold to us for a premium!

What do you have against my binary and ternary definitions of existence and moral obligations though? Don't you see how a) they usefully match your actual experience b) they seem to eliminate any "mysticism" in Rand's words?

To answer your question: because beliefs is what we have. We don't really know things. We believe things. And we use language to communicate our beliefs. If you define knowledge to be "true justified belief" then you'd be stuck as you wouldn't ever be sure of something 100% so you wouldn't "know" anything by that definition.

And before you ask how come we know mathematical truths are true, it's because they are part of the language we have chosen to use, eg logic and math. If we used some sociological mumbojumbo arguments to convince each other eg of institutional oppressio then maybe mathematical theorems underpinning statistical results wouldn't be as certain in that context.

Again, I haven't read Kant beyond the "categorical imperative". I just noticed that people usually face all these difficulties because they fail to precisely DEFINE all their terms. This set of definitions just seems to best match what's really going on.
Everyone else seems to be recommending laptops, me, I don't have that sort of lifestyle and prefer desktops and the superior keyboards you can get for them (https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=special&filter=s...), a mouse which least aggravates my RSI (Scope Node, curiously enough, since I think it was designed to more be cool than ergonomic), and a big high quality screen (currently a NEC with a 4 year warranty), my eyes are getting old (and this does double duty for watching DVDs and Blu-rays from a conventional player), etc. etc., so, as of 2014 (last time I built one):

Supermicro server or workstation motherboard that supports ECC.

Xeon processor to support the ECC, either the near cheapest or the fastest one before the knee in the price/speed curve hits, each generation was getting me another 100Mhz for "free". Arctic Silver heat sink compound, stock CPU fans (which I'm not sure they're shipping anymore). Arctic fluid bearing fans in general, BTW, and I use a non-contact thermometer to make sure there's no hot spots on the steadily fewer chips on these motherboards.

Cheapest Intel enterprise SSD for the system (e.g. 80GB SATA, only 1/3 the capacity in writes for 5 years but that's enough; I expect my next motherboard will use a more serious PCIe one, though).

Seagate Constellation "Enterprise" SATA hard disk for media, distribution software and other "cool" or cold storage (that might buy you better firmware, it will buy you a 5 year warranty, which you will statistically end up using).

Seasonic higher quality power supply.

Cases, well, I really liked a Lian-Li model they don't sell any more, I bought a bunch of those for myself and my parents and just cycle through them for each new build.

For my development (and media watching) purposes, Intel's on chip GPU is entirely satisfactory, and as of late, Supermico has a line of what are clearly workstation motherboards, plenty of slots including 1-2 for GPUs, no IPMI management port, HDMI output which covers video and sound output (I use a Turtle Beach USB analog dongle for Skype), really very little is on the board anymore.

And the systems I've been building with these parameters for 2 decades, and always run on a power conditioner or since 1999 an APC Smart-UPS, have yet to die in service, besides some of the Seagate hard drives (and I used to build, and still have in service, 15K SAS drives before I trusted SSDs enough).

But that'll be put to the test now, since there's no major speedup available from a newer system besides e.g. PCIe SSD support which I don't need, and 32 GiB of Kingston memory (lifetime warranty, which I've had to use once for a stick on a non-ECC Mini-ITX board) "ought to be good enough for anyone" ^_^. Although I note that Ubuntu 14.04 + BackupPC full backups actually consume all and more of my DRAM....

Last time I priced such a system, it weighed in around 1,000 US$, note of course I'm recycling the case and external peripherals.
I'll have to see if I can dig some of the responses up. It bugs me that I still don't know if this algorithm is actually safe.

The original purpose of the electoral college was NOT to provide disproportionate voice to non-populous states. In fact, the states backing the college were some of the most populous as long as you count slaves.

Also, the founding fathers weren't all supporters of the electoral college. Appealing to their ultimate compromise is a strange argument, especially since the original political motivations have largely become either irrelevant or reprehensible.

> It's the person who wins the most games.

That's the senate, and is not at all an accurate analogy for the way the electoral college works.
Huh?

Oh! Sorry! I misread your comment. Yes: HTTPS can leak hostnmes.
First: Yes, it does. Because it was presented as an "explanation" for problems with popular vote, and it's literally the opposite: it's an advocacy piece, and readers need to know that before clicking on the link.

Second: my response wasn't to Heritage, but to skirunman above, who didn't explain any of this stuff either. If you want to ding me for attacking the source, you need to cop to the fact that the whole subthread is an appeal to authority. And that authority is pretty suspect.
> Like my loud friend. It's totally his right to be loud, and it's unfair to him that someone like me lives next door.

This is not even close to true, and I suspect even your friend doesn't think it is true! You shouldn't have to hear the person you live next to, period. You feel angry because your friend's behavior is either clueless or inconsiderate—likely the former. Educating him would help both of you.

Please though, stop living like this. It's almost certainly fixable with a conversation or two. If it isn't, talk to a landlord. If it still isn't, talk to the police.

I've been there. I know how you feel. Don't blame yourself.

> Sometimes when I wake up just right after a perfect sleep, hit my routine properly, get everything done, then I feel great, and can go out, and do things. But I have to feel extremely great, and it takes so much work to get there. And it only ever works rarely.

I recently saw the GPU passthrough you're describing being done and thought it was really cool. Are both of those cards internal or is one external?
nice one, took me a while to find the developer category:

I work in game development writing c++. All our workstations are 32GB ecc DDR3 ram, dual 8/10-core Xeon processors with hyperthreading (so 32/40 cores per machine) and at least GTX 970s. Would absolutely recommend a machine with this much parallelism if you're compiling c++ regularly. We all run Windows 10, with 3/4/5 instances of visual studio open at anytime.
It's pretty safe to think that the Republicans will do exactly what corporate lobbyists will them to do. I am not sure what the telcos' agenda is but this what most likely will happen.
except Pakistan is not really an ally but a lynchpin in starting another nuclear cold war style standoff in the Indo-Pakistani region which distracts them from US core interests in other more important areas.

but I agree with the other comment below OP, IMF & WB have destroyed economies that threatened US interests, ex. Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Ireland, so on. There is a clear pattern of market manipulation and subsequent destruction and using that chaos to reign them closer to US interests.

We should all but expect the same from China but with much less subtleness.
