Ok so a few problems, on every network I've tried.

DuckDuckGo: Adding people doesn't seem to work via QR code, at all. And the client gets weird when trying to delete the account.

evil.im: Adder never gets notified that they have been "accepted", so can't view the conversation except via notification.

null.pm: Adding works fine, but OMEMO just stays at yellow exclamation marks.

dismail.de (supposedly has a fully green bar): No QR code adding, no notification of accepted contact request, OMEMO is fucked.

talker.to Basically the same as dismail.de.

So is there an actual server that is reliable and supports the requisite features set to make this a usable experience?

Are these client bugs?

Because otherwise this is going nowhere. I'm sitting next to my mate and cannot actually find a server that allows us to communicate normally.

I'm trying to set up a Jabber prosody server and I think it's working. I have no idea how to test if it is really. I got A/A on the server test thing.

How do they compile a list like this?

Do they have a suite that I can run against my own server?

I don't understand this argument. Almost everything worth talking about has a "political" dimension, or it would be solved already. There's costs and tradeoffs, to whom should they be allocated?

"Political" need not be the same as "partisan", although people are trying to make everything partisan these days.
Interesting, but let's not overstate whatever impact this might have had. WiMAX was pure snake oil. The enormous cells had far too little bandwidth to support a significant number of subscribers. Also for most of the cell area the signal was too attenuated to penetrate buildings.

You could roll out a network quickly, but the network would become saturated just as fast. At the time I worked for MSI, a vendor of cellular radio network planning systems. We implemented a WiMax planning module but as soon as you simulated the network with significant subscriber maps, it became pretty clear it wasn't workable.

So I'm not saying this deal didn't happen, or that Qualcomm aren't culpable, just that we shouldn't take this to mean that Qualcomm was responsible for killing WiMAX. It was doomed anyway.

I also enjoy working in an open office.

For me it makes so easy to just pass by and say hello to start a conversation. But my company office is really well designed for that. We also have a lot of meeting rooms where teams can go when they want to do something together that is more noisy or needs more concentration. We have individual rooms for people that wants to concentrate or for managers that want to work on something sensitive.

But even that way you will see some teams that are more open than others. You still can have silos, but if you had teams in individual rooms the isolation will be complete. So open offices help, but are not the complete answer. The company values also play a big role on helping in an open and friendly communication.

> This isn't the trend in tech, I have a lot of developer colleagues that would prefer to stay at home, or at the very least isolate the tech department from the rest of the company.

For me this is the company values part. If you feel that you don't fit or that you have nothing in common with the rest of the people of the company that's an issue to solve.

Blocking ads is one thing, lets just say for the sake of argument that users have a right to not execute stuff on their own computer.

But replacing ads on websites is quite another. I don't understand how this wouldn't be downright copyright infringement made for profit reasons. And if they share that revenue with users, then users can get sued as well.

I also think such a business model is incompatible with what it says on the box. On one hand, this browser is advertised as being more privacy friendly, on the other hand users would be willing to submit their browsing history to yet another third-party for ads targeting.

Mozilla was harshly criticized on HN for wanting to include ads in Firefox with an implementation that was never communicating with any Mozilla servers, all the targeting being done offline.

I surely hope HN isn't guilty of double standards.

I keep hearing the promise of GPU databases but they don't seem to be terribly useful for most real world workloads.

It reminds me of the big hoopla for GPU h264 encoders. When they came out everyone realized the quality was worse and not much faster.

Some things don't lend themselves to parallel processing, notably anything linear like transactions.

I mean yeah the GPU can sort a hundred billion items a second but how often do you really need to sort that many items using a database? In 99.9% of uses you have indexing or limits on the number of results.

Just saying, this program looks more like a stream processing platform with a SQL-like frontend than a full database

If a company's doing web (as a lot are) they have processes and tools in place for that, so they would like to reuse them. These companies have also discovered that they can still hold on to most customers if they deliver merely adequate solutions.

They will then naturally choose the convenient-for-them known quantity and dismiss concerns regarding usability, performance, etc.

I don't see a real trend toward building apps using web technologies, but there is a lot of noise, making the topic seem larger than it is.
Even IF Apple did make a WiMax iPhone, it wouldn't have helped WiMax one bit. The tech wasn't ready for prime time, Intel being too greedy and NO one wants another x86 monopoly on the Telecoms market. Remember that was before the era iPhone took off and ARM has won the SoC race. Now all there is for Intel is X86 on Desktop and Server.

Although in many ways, WiMax do live on as TD-LTE, which is 80% similar to WiMax.

On Windows, there's EFS and NTFS ACLs for privacy (and BitLocker, of course). For portable encryption you can use 7-Zip with encrypted archives, and as a bonus: 7-Zip's archive manager lets you edit text files in-place (well, it does extract and recompress them when you're done, but the UX is such you don't need to mess around with file management yourself).
Privacy doesn't matter in case of torrents because as soon as you download one, peers will know who are you.

I've been recently driving in Australia and the behavior is spot on. Cars were overtaking on the left (inner sode of the road) as well.
Reading this made me think - maybe the work to live / live to work personality divide isn't actually real. Maybe people are divided more into two categories of those who are pessimistic that work will help them achieve self-actualization, and those who are optimistic about achieving self-actualization at work, or perhaps have already found it at work.

Does a work-to-live kind of person become a live-to-work kind of person if his workplace is genuinely happy? Does he forgo attempting to find happiness at work because he doesn't have the expectation of finding it, thus being more likely to accept poor work conditions in exchange for higher salary?

Interesting questions.

Guice is not dead, and its Github shows healthy activity. I've used it a few years back before JSR-330 existed, and your two choices of DI were Guice or Spring. At the time, we didn't want to pull in Spring (crazy, right?) so we went with Guice.

The lead being Guice actually went on to author JSR-330.

Guice was always and remains a great choice if you need DI and don't want to fall into the rabbithole that is Spring.

As a remote worker that despises open offices, I don't believe that nodding in agreement with opinion pieces such as those by Lindsey Kaufman is helpful to the discussion about it.

The 2 common cited reasons of "saves real estate costs" and "employee distrust" have become thought-stopping memes that prevents the analysis of executives who prefer working in open offices and became successful with it. I previously posted an example of Mark Zuckerberg's thinking:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13374848

Look at those old photos and then listen to him speak about his new 2015 open desk in the video. Contemplate whether he built the new open office to spy on everyone or... was it to recreate and extend the "open office" kitchen table at Harvard that let the team quickly iterate on software and get to $100 billion IPO?

Would Lindsey's complaints sway him? She says:

>A 2013 study found that many workers in open offices are frustrated by distractions that lead to poorer work performance. Nearly half of the surveyed workers in open offices said the lack of sound privacy was a significant problem for them and more than 30 percent complained about the lack of visual privacy.

Why would Mark Z care about these surveys? Of those respondents that were dissatisfied, what did those workers who require private offices build that was great? He built a multi-billion dollar company with a cramped elbow-to-elbow open office.

Opinion pieces about this topic are not convincing. Concrete business performance superior to everyone else based on private offices would be convincing.
I wonder how simulations like this transfer to the real world. For example if you want to win in the real world you just start driving like a maniac. People will very quickly get out of dodge.

Spoilers: I tried to encode this idea by setting the inputs to be just tall enough to learn the safety system and wide enough to cover all lanes with no forward visibility. This learns an aggressive lane switching algorithm that lets you hit around ~70mph though not for the reason I thought. Also needed a few more hidden units/layers to make it work.

Even a little attention to acoustics could make the open or quasi-open office much better for workers. At the moment, you're expected to deal with this yourself by putting on headphones and overwriting the noise with music.

The "modern" open-plan office in which I work is particularly bad at acoustics. The dining area has a dome, which looks nice but sounds like an echoing railway station. I avoid it because I can't make out conversations in that kind of environment. Said dining area is isolated from the rest of the office by a partial wall that does not go all the way up.

All walls and ceiling surfaces are smooth and flat to maximise acoustic reflection. When we first moved in, the glass-fronted meeting rooms were echoing little boxes that were also impossible to hold conversations in, so we had to fit fabric acoustic suppressing wall hangings.

Offices could do well to learn from the "modern bar vs. traditional pub" layout approach. The bar is open and loud; conversation requires either out-louding people or leaning into someone's ear. The traditional pub "snug" has wooden half-partitions into booths, lots of fabric on the seating, maybe a few wing chairs, and a twisty internal layout. The ambient volume is much quieter.

An office laid out like a snug would still technically be "open" but would stop noise travelling across the office. Even just an acoustic suppressant ceiling would make a big difference.

Apple MacBooks to embrace new CPUs, big RAM boost, analyst says
I was doing a very similar schedule for about six months a year ago. Come in on Monday, do all the status meetings and email and planning work for the week, all the low-concentration, collaborative stuff, then work from home the other four days. It was probably the most productive I've ever been; unfortunately management likes having butts in seats for some reason, so it couldn't last.

Gotcha. Your quote at the top regarding long-term storage had me thinking in that direction (the long-term stuff is still "notes" to me).
Also:

- if you bought a laptop with preinstalled Windows, you can activate a fresh install with the key that's stored in the laptop (in ACPI tables IIRC). Just make sure it's the same edition and language.

- if you're a student, check if you have DreamSpark (er, Imagine) Premium. Apparently Windows Server is available even in the non-Premium program (for all students).
CI yes, CD no - in my mind CD is pretty much fixed to compact disc for eternity.

When I first read the title I thought "oh, Yahoo must have had some cool automatic system to burn CDs that is probably so old and pointless that they are opensourcing it now as part of their mothballing". I was fairly disappointed to see it's Yet Another CI Tool.
You are also at the mercy of where you are seated, not just wrt acoustics, but also how loud the people nearby are.
I confess I read it as Compact Disk. This made me curious enough to read the post, which I probably wouldn't have bothered to do otherwise. It was interesting though.

> Employees want private offices, so they'll tend to view and upvote articles praising private offices.

That's a very sweeping statement. I don't want a private office, and I'm an employee. I can (and do) work remotely on occasion, but I'd still rather be in my office 90% of the time.

Actually, Chelsea may indeed have considered herself a he during the epoch of Bradley(we don't know and shouldn't proclaim) so by you in proclaiming that you can't use he for referring to bradley, may in fact be misgendering in of itself as you're proclaiming bradley should be referred to as "she" when for all we know Chelsea could rightfully so refer to Bradley epoch as "he". This would be misgendering.

Schema-less data always sounds good in the beginning until you actually try to use that data. Then you end up encoding all the validation and data munging logic into whatever process reads from it.

An internally-schema'd database just recognizes that this is absurd and lets you put the bottom three layers of validation logic inside the database, where you only have to do it once.

Where in that link does it say that organic techniques use fewer pesticides?

Organic farming is restricted to naturally occurring pesticides which are often less effective than synthetic ones and so they need to be applied more often.

Also, organic yields are often lower than conventional ones, so more land may be needed to compensate. Clearing land is way more environmentally unfriendly than using pesticide, so any gains from organic techniques are nullified.

But i guess it depends on crop/climate and exact techniques

Pinch your nostrils, and blow through your nose gently. The blocked air will build pressure in your ear and you will trigger the mechanism.

Do it slowly, but at one point, you'll need to force a little to trigger it.

Then the ear will go back to it's original state.

Do it several times. At one point you won't be able to do it anymore. The ear will stay like that for some time. Rest a bit.

Then practice again.

Once you got it, force yourself to yawn, and try to reproduce the effect while yawning.

The once you can do that, try to do it without yawning.

In the end, it's not a useless skill. It's very useful when you take the plane a lot, go skying in hight altitude or dive in deep water. It let you release the pressure from your ears at will.

We should teach it to all children. You often see them crying in planes because their ears hurting while the pressure changes. If you encounter that, ask them to do the first exercise (blow with the nostrils blocked). If they can't (sometime it's too late, the pressure is too high and that would hurt), make them chew something.

For self-driving cars, I'd much rather your code control _all_ the cars, not just an individual.

Individualistic driving leads to worse overall performance for everyone. One of the things I'm most looking forward to in an all-code-controlled driving future is seeing efficient highway traffic moving fast and smoothly.

(And yes, clearly there's a long transition period where some cars are controlled while others are still human-driven.)

I use gist together with https://gistlist.ksdev.pl/gists which allows me to tag them. There are number of apps that can allow me offline editing and management such as ruby gem gist.

The main benefit is that, as it uses gist, you can use number of markup languages - I have notes in rST, mardkown, textille or as pure <inser_language> scripts with comments.

The other main benefit is that I am not locked in and notes are versioned.

Besides, you don't need any installs for this. I seriously don't get why people still make note apps.
Try out the examples, tweak the models, and let us know how you get on!
