Welcome to what Windows has been on non-pro consumer hardware for decades.

The difference is now Microsoft is providing the crapware, the crapware isn't malicious (like say, Superfish was), and it's not that difficult for power users to disable it or tuck it out of the way.

I love Windows 10 (at least, as much as my love for Windows goes), yes MS made some moves towards treating it a bit like Google and Apple treat their mobile OSes, but not horridly large steps.
2017: Research, Life and the Beginning of a New University: A Brief Update
The numbers may look good on paper, but the fact is, enough people were disgruntled with the system that they voted a baffoon into the White House. Although that's probably not Obama's fault alone, how many worked against him to stop him helping those who needed help.
Generally continuously, but it depends on how you scroll. If you're in `less` for example and holding the down key, you will probably see one line at a time, and it should be very smooth. It's possible with high key repeat rates that you might get multiple lines on some frames.
LG abandoning the modular smartphone idea
> We make six-figure salaries, have our health care paid for, and, because we are in demand at them moment, are frequently pampered by our employers.

But (as 'eli_gottlieb pointed out) the only people who can do that are those who can afford to relocate to San Francisco or perhaps a few other places, and the initial cost of that is increasing commensurate with demand.

We have, in the tech industry, found a very good way of creating interesting and well-paying jobs that will outlast a lot of the coming automation. We have so many of those jobs, and they keep being created, such that, as you say, workers are in an unusually good negotiating position compared to other industries.

Meanwhile, the housing supply in San Francisco is much closer to fixed; of course if they don't decide to build housing it's very fixed, but even so there's only so much land there. So if the demand for workers continues to be high, the price of housing will continue to increase.

It is a class issue to extend these benefits to people who otherwise couldn't afford the initial investment to relocate to San Francisco in this market and the emergency fund to keep living in San Francisco past unicorn-collapse-of-the-week while looking for new work. If we figure out how to increase supply to keep up with what looks like unquenchable and long-term demand, we'll be solving a major crisis for thousands of small towns that aren't San Francisco.

I don't need remote work for myself; I have the good fortune to be a 10-minute (NYC) subway ride from my tech job. I want remote work for all the people who could be my coworkers.

OP's question is about avoiding backend completely, so a webhook wouldn't help much. At that point you may as well implement your own email verification as well.
If Amazon isn't a search company, then Google isn't an OS company. Search is pretty integral to Amazon, search being the main way that anyone finds anything on their site. Sure, selling other company's products is what they're known for, but they do a lot more than that. And funny enough, a search engine is one of them. A9 (an Amazon company) develops custom search engines and search technologies.

You can't pigeonhole conglomerates like that. Google is an email company, Amazon is a cloud hosting provider, Microsoft is a tablet PC maker, Samsung is a heavy equipment company. No wait, Google is a browser vendor, Amazon is a bookstore, Microsoft is the maker of an office suite, and Samsung makes hardware for the iPhone.

Or maybe they're all tech companies and specialize in multiple aspects of that industry.
No they did not suggest doxxing, and yes the information they want to aggregate is public, but that is not the point. The point is that they want to build a tool which will primarily be used for doxxing by random internet users.

Also, discrediting WikiLeaks doesn't serve me personally – I've never said anything against them publicly until today, and I used to be an avid supporter.

However, if you read their support Twitter account they are doing a good enough job of discrediting themselves. Go read through their twitter account, it reads like Donald Trump's:

> Adding tmux just to get scrollback goes against Unix philosophy.

I agree. Rather than adding scrollback support to allacritty, maybe someone could write an independent program for scrollback support (a la dtach/abduco for detaching/reattaching)?

Such a program would be useful for all terminals which lack scrollback (alacritty, st, possibly others).

For the record I use st with dtach and dvtm; scrollback is supplied by dvtm, but it would be nice to decouple it some more.

Jwilm: This is great, and I'm really looking forward to following this project; beers on me and thanks for the effort!

A few findings from my side if you want some feedback, I generally work mosh'd into some beefy servers with a long running tmux I resume -- so I'm probably the use case this is aimed at (client: xps13, archlinux).

1) If I create a vertical split view (tmux_key+v) while I already have some output in the left side of the split, and have nothing but my prompt in the right side; then resizing the split is instant/snappy.. However, if I then do a find / in the 'new' (right) split, ctrl+c it after a moment and then resize it lags/judders hugely -- I'm not sure what's going on there but let me know if you'd like me to try and explain that more if you can't reproduce from that.. This doesn't happen in termite..

2) I had to set offsets and use a giant font to make it look reasonable on my (highdpi) lappy:

HOW I CAN FIX WATER DAMAGED PHONE

Not all people are equally sensitive to graphical performance issues. The default Ubuntu terminal is capped at approximately 40fps[1]. This is deliberate and hard-coded. It's not an integer multiple of any common screen refresh rate and it looks very bad. There is no way to configure keyboard autorepeat so new input is shown with consistent timing. I consider this bad design and I'm happy that Alacritty is limited only by the monitor. But some people might never notice the timing problems in other terminals.

... or the downstream program could ask the upstream one (or get automatically along with the stream) about meta-data/type information for the stream it is being passed, and then it could benefit fully from already-known information. Though that does not solve the need to potentially read the full stream and buffer it before doing the processing.

I think this exposes a bit of a flaw in Google's rollout of their 'Assistant'; they only released it to Pixel devices early on which has alienated Nexus owners (or at the very least this Nexus owner).

I have both a Google Home and an Amazon Echo; the Echo shows some real strengths from its early lead -- a lot more connected and a lot of baked in bespoke interactions. The Home has Google's existing work on knowledge graphs built in and is surprisingly good at knowledge based queries (today I asked both 'what is a normal heart rate'; Google answered with some 'According to Mayo Clinic...' answer and the Echo said 'I dont know how to respond').

The thing CES this past week showed me is that the battle lines are being drawn. Amazon has a lot more partnerships rolling out; the only one I saw for Google was with the Shield, which is mainly because it's running Android TV.

I don't know which will win out. If I had my druthers, both would be available on 3rd party hardware -- I want to know that they are listening when I explicitly want them to listen, and I don't trust their own proprietary hardware to do so.

I didn't, and I should have.

I have been programming for 49 years. I lost my government job in an agency downsizing, worked for a university for 3 years until I could buy into a small pension with health insurance. I bought a house in Mazatlan, Mexico for the winters and am a camp host for the Forest Service during the summers. I'm still hacking.

I didn't have the balls to leave the profession even though I wanted to. Now, I'm comfortable, but I regret not having done something adventurous and feel too old for an adventurous life now.
I use st as my terminal application. Inside, I run dtach to provide detaching/reattaching functionality. Inside that I run dvtm to provide multiplexing and scrollback. Inside that I run bash. Inside that I run ad hoc commands.

Everything's highly composable, e.g. I can switch out bash for zsh, fish, etc. I can switch out dtach for abduco. I can switch out dvtm for tmux or screen. I can switch out st for xterm or urxvt. And so on.

Adding an extra layer for scrollback, separate from a multiplexer, wouldn't disrupt anything, and would provide more flexibility for composition.

I actually went to app academy. Their placement rates are definitely deceptive. For example they touted a 95% placement rate on their website when my cohort went thorough but we had huge job hunt issues with our cohort. But that number never changed on the website even though we were at 80% at best and I can't believe that we didn't bring the average down. It's a great program but they are deceptive with numbers.
I am not sure I would call that a money quote.

This analysis seems to assume that the concentration of celebrities among the population is roughly fixed, which is weird. It clearly isn't.

The whole concept of mass market celebrity is largely the product of American post-WWII prosperity and the explosion of a consumer class. It was rare prior to 1950 and arguably peaked around the early 2000s, when mass media went into steep decline.

Most "celebrities" alive today would have been active (or the topic of public discussion) during that period. So should we really be all that surprised that, as the Boomer generation rapidly approaches peak mortality, celebs are also dying in greater numbers?

The article concludes that this year was a "once in a century" outlier. On the contrary, I predict an even more grim 2017. Regardless, this analysis is incomplete without at least a cursory discussion of the distribution of celebrity birth years. Line that up with an actuarial table and then tell me how anomalous 2016 was.
Is anyone else concerned that tools like Alexa are making the whole automated home thing too easy? I see it as creating a bunch of automation "experts" out of people who don't truly understand the whole feature surface/attack surface coupling. There are multiple tutorials on Amazon's website to learn how to implement the whole path, end to end. There are "smart" outlets that are actually pretty dumb, at least when it comes to knowing whats plugged into it.

Whats to prevent someone from connecting this to their smart door locks? Then if that person has a big party, and someone with bad intentions shows up, they can simply say "Alexa, at 3:30am tomorrow, turn off the alarm system, and unlock the doors". Or "Alexa, turn off the dialysis machine".

Sure Amazon might make it more secure in the future, but probably only after enough of these unintended consequences stack up.

I also understand that the average HN reader is probably not rushing out to introduce a single point of failure into their home security system. My point is that Alexa is essentially saying "don't worry about how it happens, just dream big about what awesome stuff might happen".

Which Go package do you use?
I wanted to use Clojure for a long time, and finally I found a project that was "simple" enough to use it on (but which exercised some of the benefits of functional programming.

Mine was a backup purge scheduling tool that read a user's (admin user) CSV file for dictating backup retention rules and then did analysis on the Bacula system, ultimately generating a shell script that would delete the appropriate backups.

In some worlds that would be considered insignificant, but it was a real world problem with great risks (deleting the wrong backups can be really bad).

When it was done, I did a code review with different Ruby and Python colleagues. That's where the benefits really began to show - I could illustrate the simple rules, the facts and behaviors, and we were able to build upon those solid rules. People who didn't know Clojure and who had no exposure to Lisp could confidently agree that the behavior of the program was to spec.

That, for me, is the beauty of Clojure (or perhaps Lisp).

The article says the problem with Blendie is you have to make a decision for every article. What if the default was you paid a micropayment on an article if you just had it open for more than, say, 30 seconds, and in the relatively rare cases where you didn't want to pay you could hit a button to stop it. I think that would eliminate maybe 90% of the decisions and make it a lot more attractive.

That's not at all true.

In a democracy, "the government" is a reflection of the will of society, however imperfectly expressed. Paying taxes is as social obligation with known consequences for failure to comply (in this case, the threat of confinement).

As a parallel example, perhaps I have a housemate who gets upset when he finds dirty dishes in the sink. So I take care to clean dishes when I use them-- perhaps not because I particularly care if there are dirty dishes in the sink, but because it upsets my housemate. Again, to prevent myself from accruing the negative utility that comes from failing to meet a social obligation.

The other part of assistance is integration with the physical realm.

As a global store front and supply chain, Amazon has a serious advantage in that area... manufacturers are more inclined to cooperate and integrate with the Alexa ecosystem. Amazon's end-game is obviously "sell more stuff" - obvious benefits for the manufacturers. I can't see a clear vision behind Google's plan.

However, so far every device is a walled garden, a locked-in ecosystem - bleh, huge turnoff.

Is there prior work in developing an an open assistant/querying protocol for these kinds of devices? Some standard way for devices to get data after the device has handled wakewords and speech-to-text? It's a fascinating domain, but I don't have enough knowledge to bootstrap myself yet.
I'm gonna be trying it out, since another commenter mentioned it's powered by mpv. Although, as I have very basic requirements, I'm already perfectly content with starting up mpv from the cli or by using mpv.app.

If you try this out and feel like it's not what you're looking for, I'd suggest trying out mpv [0] directly.

It integrates youtube-dl [1], so you can easily watch YouTube, as well as from the other hundreds of sources they support, very easily. For example:

mpv "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

The most recent macOS update brought a picture-in-picture feature, where you could keep videos playing on top of everything else in one side of the screen. With mpv you can get a close approximation by using the "--ontop" flag. Although admittedly it's not quite as nice as the new built-in feature.

And a bit tangential to the whole thing, I found mpv's C API [2] to be very approachable and well documented.

In an effort to prop up pixel sales, Google is not rolling out the assistant to all android phones. If you read the latest blog post about the assistant conning to the shield and other devices, they have very carefully used language that excludes phones completely. They said the assistant will roll out to android tv, android wear and I think chrome books too. But not a word about it being released to phones other than pixel.

Risky move, IMO. If it fails, it has the potential to take the entire android ecosystem away from Google.
