Maximum portability... "Of course it runs NetBSD"

From their website:
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices. Its clean design and advanced features make it excellent for use in both production and research environments, and the source code is freely available under a business-friendly license.
It's easy to blame the people who can't afford to pay their bills but it misses the point.

First, someone who misses their car payment shouldn't find themselves in physical danger. Having your car shut down while it is running is incredibly dangerous and unjustified.

Second, most of these people are being preyed on by lenders who know they cannot pay the loan on their car. The business model is no longer helping someone find a vehicle, but rather renting them a vehicle in the short term and expecting them to default so you can sell the same car over and over again.

It's much easier and more comforting to blame the victims of this fraudulent business model than it is to examine and fix the underlying issue with predatory loans in this country.
> We have a chronic shortage of psychiatric inpatient beds and very poor follow-up care

I agree with this bit. Although it's important to recognise that hospitalisation for suicidal thinking or suicide attempts probably isn't helpful, and that people need much better crisis team stuff, and that is being mostly addressed via Crisis Concordat work. (And what people need long term is much better prevention).

> Here in the UK, someone diagnosed with depression or anxiety by their primary care physician is likely to receive no more than six sessions of CBT, often after a wait of many months

IAPT wait times are published. Here are some recent figures: http://content.digital.nhs.uk/searchcatalogue?productid=2447...

> In November 2016 there were:

> 126,126 new referrals

> 87,961 referrals entered treatment

> 49,189 referrals finished a course of treatment, of which:

> 88.8 per cent waited less than 6 weeks and 98.5 per cent waited less than 18 weeks to enter treatment

> 45,607 started treatment at caseness, with 48.9 per cent moving to recovery

Your comment "often after a wait of many months" is inaccurate when 88% start treatment within 6 weeks and nearly everyone else starts in less than 5 months. (That over 6 week time wait is worrying, and I hope people have been rigorously triaged)

The executive summary says that about 64% of people going through IAPT achieve recovery: http://content.digital.nhs.uk/catalogue/PUB23389/IAPT-month-...

The other problems with current IAPT provision include

* lack of one to one provision - it's sometimes provided in groups;

* the lack of face to face provision - it's sometimes provided by computer or telephone

* reduced time per session and reduced number of sessions
Agree, SpiderOak is far from good. Haven't yet experienced data loss, but their sync is very slow and, with custom synced folder (not the 'Hive' one) pretty unreliable.

From Crashplan's web page I don't see if they do file sync, what do you recommend for this domain? I'd use OneDrive, but supported Linux client is a must.
Preemptible VMs + Kubernetes = Awesome.

If you manage to build you app/infrastructure in away that can survive nodes shutting down at random times (or if you don't care about restarts) then you can reduce your infra costs for 80%.

We have a staging cluster running on preemptive instances and as soon as one instance goes away we get a different one. Everything gets deployed automatically. Regular internal users checking out various webpages don't even notice.

We're looking into changing our 24/7 infra (which needs to be 24/7) to something that can be run mostly on preemptive (with a couple of normal instances for services that can't be randomly killed).

Super happy about our move to GCP and our K8S experience.

"For instance, I can go rent some capital equipment and use it to build some ROI. And, afterward I pay the owner for the opportunity. I don't think that is theft, so why would I view tax any differently?"

I don't really hold this viewpoint myself, but renting capital equipment is voluntary but taxation isn't. That is a pretty significant difference.
What is so hard technically about site search that there doesn't exist open-source solutions for people to run on their own sites or rent for a small fee?

Of course, there is good, free content everywhere, but it is normally in the form of endeavors that don't take a lot of time or are hobbies. As soon as something starts to take more than X amount of hours per week, it has to either start bringing in revenue or it has to stop growing. In other words, there is no limit to the breadth of the content that can be available for free, but there are hard financial limits to the depth of the content that can be available for free.

Re: Netflix: I think Netflix is a good example of a distribution platform that is in a more symbiotic relationship with its content creators. The content creators get the eyeballs for their work and, more importantly, get paid, while Netflix takes their cut. However, this is also changing as Netflix becomes both content creator and distribution platform. As to being able to purchase Netflix content elsewhere, I think it all comes down to the extra revenue vs. possible loss of subscription revenue. For now I think the equation is tilted towards the latter, hence you won't see that content elsewhere. My understanding is that other content creators are getting more than a little nervous about the Netflix-branded content, so they might start playing hardball.
Note how listening to all suggestions mentioned in the HN comments but only to few or none of those recommended in the blog post is a good indicator of what you think about the power of ML/AI.

That the ecology is able to handle variations in temperature, even large ones, does not mean it can handle an absolute shift. 10±5 degrees is not the same as 11±5.
That looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
I used XMonad for many, many years. During these years it served me well and I really loved it. However I switched to AwesomeWM about 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. I was able to easily make Awesome behave just like xmonad for parts I cared about, so the transition was pretty painless.
Top 3 reasons I switched:
1. Multi monitor support is far better with awesome and it worked perfectly out of the box with my 3 displays.
2. Programs that were a bit glitchy under xmonad had no such glitches under awesome.
3. LUA configuration files make it far easier for me to customize behavior and extended it. With Xmonad's Haskell I always felt like a noob.
> I don't think you even need P(W = 0) = P(W = 1) = 0.5.

You do,

In the article, the prior of interest is the prior gender of a child, which can be safely assumed to be 0.5. Similarly, independence of children's genders is a very good approximation as well. It wasn't necessary for the article to state these assumptions because they are obvious common knowledge.

Not happening according to github repo. https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/38

"Not happening, because xmonad is too tightly tied to X11. No matter how hard you try, the result would not be compatible with xmonad, its contribs, or any configs.

Significant parts of xmonad are also not applicable to Weston because they are no longer part of the window manager component; they were moved to the compositor or application level themes, etc."

Sway is a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager, but for Wayland instead of X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3's features, and a few extras.

3 Ways to Narrow Down the Customer Expectation Gap
I have found our original discussion, it was 57 days ago. So let's do another analysis of their timeline two months ago (December+November, for example). But this time, you tell me how to categorize their tweets.

For example, should this picture count? It is not somebody working at Google, just a stock image of somebody working in the food industry: https://twitter.com/lifeatgoogle/status/813410799725215744

And how should pictures like this be counted: https://twitter.com/lifeatgoogle/status/800818789122129926 or this https://twitter.com/lifeatgoogle/status/812002215267139584

Maybe from the last two you can also see why perhaps simply counting people is not the best metric - a single group photo could distort everything.

You mention you work in statistics, so tell me how you would approach the problem?

Also maybe I didn't express it clearly enough, I didn't look at the whole timeline, only the media timeline: https://twitter.com/lifeatgoogle/media (which is media they posted, pics and videos).

I also didn't claim I can tell bias simply by looking, I said it was my impression they don't want to hire white men anymore. If I was convinced I could tell simply by looking, I wouldn't agree to do an analysis.

As I said - I am sure they still hire white men, but that particular account (and some of their other publications) give the impression they are not interested in that anymore.

And they claim to represent Google's demographic, not the demographics of the general population, so contrary to what you say my numbers do show bias against white men. Not as extreme as I perceived two months ago, but still.

If your company is 70% men and you only report about what women are doing, it is revisionist.

Imagine if all stories about WWII would only be about female soldiers. The impression would be women fought and died for our freedom, all the sacrifices of men would be forgotten. That is revisionism.

XMonad hits a sweet spot no other window manager does for me:

import XMonad.Config.Mate

main = xmonad mateConfig

and just like that I have XMonad running inside my mate desktop, without the need to manually configure a status bar for volume, wifi, keyboard input language, clock, etc.

I don't even use tiling that much as I prefer to have one app per workspace, but just having focus-follows-mouse and the option to tile if I need it is really sweet.

If you question the dogma of social justice, you will be lynched on social media

lynched on social media is an unfortunate construction. Excoriated? Mocked? Humiliated? Harassed? All things that can happen on social media.

Anyway, what are the arguments against building a just society? Since you call social justice a dogma, I'd ask you to separate out arguments against the concept of a just society from arguments about whether specific ideas and policies represent progress towards a just society.

Realistically, when are we going to see the modules situation resolved?

ES2017?

ES2018?

I know, I know, just use a transpiler and emit a bundle... but really?

It's been a draft since 2015, and no browsers have any support for it yet, despite full support for the rest of the standard?

Are modules really that controversial?

I'm kind of disappointed, honestly, that despite all the progress in the ecosystem, this long standing issue still remains mysteriously unsolved, by anyone.

If you're using a transpiler anyway, who really cares if you have native support for the language features?

What sorts of programs, what kinds of glitches?
Atlanta has always felt snubbed by hostility from the IOC, who didn't like the level of private corporate sponsorship used to fund the 1996 Games (nevermind that two decades later, it would be considered modestly quaint today).

However, it was overwhelmingly a successful Games. It created a lasted economic boom, and much of the construction saw continued use or was repurposed afterward.

Today, Atlanta is not really remembered as a "bad" Olympics (because international sports organizatinos like the IOC and FIFA have become more disgustingly capitalistic than we ever were). We are likewise not really remembered as an "success" story either, frankly because most cultural commentary prefers not to think about southern American cities at all outside the context of sweeping generalizations about racism (1). But quietly, it was an example of a success story for the host city.

(1) Yeah, between the '96 Games and this year's Super Bowl, Atlanta sports fans are a pretty bitter crowd. Don't mind us!

2. Does XMonad work well on Retina/HiDPI displays? A year or two ago, it still had lots of rough edges.
Yes, but at some point the applications you want to use might not support.

I'm not an expert either, but one should keep in mind that this was an experiment with a single vessel. Even the shiny PR images in the articles show clusters of hundreds of vessels for actual operation. So it's more "few thousandths of a degree times X" and that seems less harmless to me.

Per the Google's statement: "On April 1, 2017, Google will discontinue sales of the Google Site Search. All new purchases and renewals must take place before this date. The product will be completely shut down by April 1, 2018."

If I were you and you really had already finished the Google Search dev work you referenced, I would pay for service as soon as possible for the duration up until April 1, 2018. Use the service, see how user users are really using it, then use what you've learned to plan for the future.
Problem is, people on HN are making decisions and building tools and startups. If everyone loses faith in Google, we'll stop using their platforms and tools which translates to loss of money.

I wonder how many other people have a "anyone but Google" approach? It's not just cancelling services, it's the churn in APIs; they seem to be less stable than products from almost any other company.

I live next to the olympic park in Stratford and it's pretty great.

- The main stadium is now the local football team's home ground and gets used for concerts as well.

- The olympic pool is an open public pool that anyone can use and looks like it gets a fair amount of use.

- The park itself is a nice open space to be in with lots more flats and shops being built in and around it.

- I have several colleagues who train at the velodrome.

- The athletes housing created thousands of new flats that, are pretty much filled and provided a lot of homes for low income families.

I really like living in Stratford and I don't think I would like it anywhere near as much if the olympics hadn't been there.
Not me personally, my employer is quite big, and any consulting company will happily sell such services.
'Average overrun for Games since 1960 is 156% in real terms' [1]. On the whole, costs of hosting Olympic Games is a net-negative for most cities.

I think it isn't as popular as it once was in attracting tourists; soccer world cups are probably better for that. Given that this is the case, they should just fix one host city/country and host the Olympics only there. It will save unnecessary expenses, especially for developing nations such as Brazil.
