My problem is that they are coupling security updates and user-interface updates. The fact that they were offering the switch to Windows 10 didn't make it something that I wanted.

I can't stand the trend toward flat design. It was stupid with Windows 8, and I held out on Windows 7, hoping that 10 would bring some sense back to the interface. Instead, they doubled-down on the poor design, and I'm finding just how little I need to use Windows on a day-to-day basis, when Linux is becoming more and more user-friendly.

Unfortunately, it does mean that I only have until 2020 to finish up my backlog of Windows-only video games, before the long-term support of Windows 7 runs out.
It's not clear to me from the article that Village Capital has attended a YC Demo Day. It only mentions that organizations like YC helped popularize the concept.
Of course I know it's complicated; I was making a simplification to express a point. The violence in cities wouldn't make me want to give the violent more voice in making decisions, rather to the contrary.

And the votes of those who are second-past-the-post are not "nullified"; they just didn't win. We have a different system (d'Hondt) and it has its drawbacks as well.
> rubber stamping of surveillance of the entire US population

It would be good to post specific evidence of such a major claim. What "rubber stamping" are you referring to? What are you defining "surveillance" as? I cannot find a solid source for the specific claim above.
I know I have a lot to learn. I am not a programmer for my job role. I program has a hobby. I run the operations side: support, deployments, and business analyst type work. I am not oblivious to the problems because I see all the problems when I am facing the product side of the business.
This article is about Zenimax not paying the second half of his earnout for the sale of id Software.

I hear you about reatrictive covenants and NDAs, though.

edit: I get Zenimax said it was about him going to Oculus, but it is really just Zenimax being dicks. They will most likely have to pay.
>He told me, “Oh, he’s a good writer, but he tends to get over emotional about things and let that get in the way of his writing. He’s kind of a girl like that.”

>I stared at him, not quite believing what he had said. To me. The only girl he had ever hired. He knew immediately that he had fucked up. He stuttered, tried to backtrack, un-backtracked, ultimately apologized and acknowledged that it was a wrong thing to say. But that didn’t matter. Message received. I put up my walls, and buckled in to try to survive at this job.

This is so horrible. I feel so sorry for this poor girl, having to endure such awful treatment at the hands of her misogynistic boss. It's so absolutely disgusting that people like him are allowed to continue working after abusing his employees like this. How many casualties must we suffer in the war on women before something is done about this? How many more women have to be abused before we put an end to this? I'm absolutely speechless at how people can stay silent and give their implicit endorsement to such abhorrent mistreatment.
You can always put different tasks to different files (per project for example).

There no need to hunt for todos; use `C-c \` (or `C-c /` for more options) to create a sparse tree. It supports the same queries as agenda tag searches. For example, `/!` to show all unfinished tasks, or `/TODO` for just the ones with TODO as the keyword.

You can also use the timeline view with a prefix argument to see tasks in the current file (`C-u C-c a L`). Or you can restrict other agenda views to the current buffer (`C-c a < t` for a task list). Custom agenda commands can also specify their own set of agenda files (they can also be chosen by a function whenever the agenda view is created).

Cars Will Talk to One Another. Exactly How Is Less Certain
> The greatest frustration among potential users is that a hearing aid cannot distinguish between, for example, a voice and the sound of a passing car if those sounds occur at the same time. The device cranks up the volume on both, creating an incoherent din.

It may be a simplification of the article that I'm misinterpreting, but as someone who got a hearing aid in early 2016, that's not how (modern) hearing aids work.

I got my hearing tested which enabled a frequency response of my hearing loss to be plotted (my hearing at low frequencies is fine, at higher freq I have moderate loss). My hearing aid is then tuned to match the inverse of that freq plot (ie boost volume of high frequencies, leave low freq alone).

You don't actually want a HA that arbitrarily boosts 'speech' since that won't be matched to your needs and has unintended side effects (like music can sound overly harsh/bright) because un-needed frequencies are being boosted or supressed).

--
On a tangent, after I got my new HAs, I complained to the audiologist that they didn't sound very good. Everything sounded far too crisp. She pointed out that having lived with hearing loss for 5-6 years, I actually had almost no idea what something should sound like since my brain had got used to a world with muted high frequency sounds.

That blows my mind ... a bit like how do you know the color green is green. Maybe it's purple, but you have been told by someone else that it's green.

After a few weeks, my brain re-learnt what sound should sound like and now it sounds 'normal' with HA in. Without HA, everything is a little more muffled (as you would expect) and I really notice how much I used to struggle understanding people (I believe my untreated hearing loss contributed to me losing my job a couple of years ago).

Hearing aids have changed my quality of life (at age 40).
You don't need to know every single detail.

Usually we switch stacks when we switch customer, on average every six months or year.

Sure there is a kind of adaptation period, like the first week, then is back again to full speed.

I also use both on personal projects, so sometimes I use the stack that I currently don't on the project.

There are also mixed projects where the frontend is a native desktop application written in .NET, with the backend done in Java.

Basically, it is no different of mastering several human languages at writing, reading and speaking levels.

Yes I agree, with the Pascal architecture we have a really solid mobile GPU offering.

Suppose I include 'ü': LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS in my password. I switch to a different browser/OS/language and now when I enter "ü" I get 'u': LATIN SMALL LETTER U + ' ̈': COMBINING DIAERESIS. I can't log in anymore, though what I do is identical and defined to be equivalent. Especially if the password is hashed before comparing it, you can't treat it as just a sequence of bytes.

You don't need to use IDNA for this, though. There are standards specifically for dealing with Unicode passwords, such as SASLprep (RFC 4013) and PRECIS (RFC 7564).

Had them replace my alternator (I'd had AAA tow the car back to my driveway) and the guy showed up early, did good work, and had it ready to go within an hour. Cost me $200, but it was a lot more convenient than having the car towed elsewhere and then getting the work done.
And don't think he'll accept the sudden 20% drop that exactly coincides with inauguration as "proof" if he doesn't accept the current 10000x larger temperature change gradient than anywhere in earth history as "manmade".

It's helpful to remember that nobody knows how to hire good candidates (it's an unsolved problem) so everyone has their own favorite, ineffective techniques. This results in a lot of puzzling behavior, like being told you need more red-black tree knowledge.

There's probably no way to know what they were looking for, short of asking them directly. But you have at least two options: (a) roll your eyes at anyone who tells you that you need more knowledge about red-black trees or hash tables to be an excellent engineer, or (b) realize it's a game, and play it with a passion.

Both routes are perfectly valid, and personally I prefer route (a). But if you're deciding to do route (b), you could study as much as you can on the subjects, quiz yourself on various trivia related to red-black trees, look up related interview questions, etc.

This is a bit of a tangent, but from a motivation standpoint, I've found it's optimal to think of interviews as a lottery ticket with 10% chance of winning regardless of your ability, rather than an as an obstacle that can be failed due to lack of ability. There's no reason to be discouraged when someone rejects you in a world where people reject engineers for reasons that are essentially random.
Ok this may sound abit harsh, sorry, but you were asking for feedback in another thread, so...

There are plenty of services offering this "Uber for advertising" (inc. a,b & c), the biggest of course being Google. And I'd wager some have been around before many HNers were born. So why would anyone use your service? You have a big chicken and egg problem to solve.

So you may have a very nice solution technically but I am not sure how you can compete without some kind of twist or an edge.

Assuming perfectly balance dice on a uniform, moderate friction surface, rolled after being shaken, I would be guessing - probably. Would be interesting to roll one 600 times and see how close to each number comes to appearing 100 times.

How about a DIY project where you build a gadget (robot?) that rolls the dice, records the result and repeats it 60,000 times ? And that is to test a single dice. Why 60,000 ? because if the machine could do one test each second, then it would take 17 hours for a result. Any more than that and most of us would be getting impatient.

In perspective, of course, they are not directly linked, but we on a server, for example a total of 3 or 5 IP, we put the domain name binding to a major IP, but after a long time or some other reason you IP binding domain name Lord be attacked or invaded, room for you to avoid you suffer firewall, which will automatically for you will this IP packet drop, generally blocked time about 6 to 24 hours, that is to say, your IP is restricted use the shortest time in 6 hours, up to 24 hours, but our website have to run, or it will cause a great loss, we can eliminate this problem at this moment, our domain name can be bound to the other spare IP, as well as the normal operation of, will not suffer, if is a IP, can only wait until after the unlock can use.

> Unfortunately I think you would need to lock yourself in a room to achieve the kind of solution you're trying to get at.

While addictions can be so extreme as you described, this doesn't describe me, and I don't think (correct me if I am wrong) it is very typical of someone who would consider themselves addicted to pornography. Typically before my session, I would be in a worse than normal mood, or just really wanting to release. If my computer suddenly locked up for an hour, I would likely "sober up" and go do something else.

> You need to replace the stimuli you're currently using with other stimuli of some kind. Just flat-out removing it absolutely stupid and not going to work.

I agree that is very hard to remove a pleasure source all at once, and a plausible route would be to go incrementally. Reading the other comments, I would agree that spending more time with people in general (not just romantically) would be a healthy alternative.

WTTE-RNN: Less Hack-Y Churn Modeling
Parsing templates at run-time is a run-time cost, possibly amortized by caching. If it's done at compile time then it only has to happen once (or anyway a lot less frequently than your program will be run).

On the other hand, perhaps it could parse them dynamically in debug mode (and statically in release mode), but notice that the library creates a structure to hold the data that is inserted into the template. In debug mode it would have to do dynamic lookups into that structure, which means capturing its layout for use at run time. All the other template features would likewise need some run-time implementation. You'd end up writing everything twice. If you're willing to do that extra work, you might instead think about writing a JIT compiler for your template language. Instead of caching the AST of a template, a JIT implementation would generate and cache runnable code.

On the gripping hand, one of the things that makes static compilation possible here is that the template compiler uses macros to generate Rust code, which the Rust compiler then compiles. To do a JIT you would either have to write your own compiler, or embed all of Rust (and LLVM) into the application. You wouldn't be the first to make a language that makes the entire compiler available at run time, but there's always a cost to that.

Thats a big of an exaggeration. Some people in some industries are hostile to women - and it ahouls go without saying that those people need to be reprimanded.

But painting it as society actively fighting half of its population is a bit much.
Oh.....
I feel sorry for her, and her story is probably an example of sexism at the workplace. That is when her boss says that Martin's style is feminine and that that is bad.

However, the linked Martin's story is not a good test of sexism, because the one customer example is anecdotal and sometimes if you pretend to swap customer reps, you end up with a better experience because the customer feels like they are "starting over".

The week-long experiment is also a bad example because it is not a double blind test. Martin could have acted differently than he normally does knowing that he signs as a female.

And even if they did do a double-blind test, another reason for more rude replies directed at female employees could be that social expectations are different. That is the same word choice by people of different genders/sexes can imply different things. This is not necessarily "bad".
I can't trust Nylas because you have to trust yet another third party with your email, in addition to Google/Fastmail/etc.

AFAIK Nylas doesn't work locally, but through their "cloud APIs". They are not alone in doing this, for example Outlook for Android does it too.

That's not acceptable for me. The email client should only communicate with the email provider. Trusting Google or Fastmail with my email is a leap of faith on its own without an extra third party involved.

I'd also question their business model. If Nylas Mail syncs via their own "cloud", it means it's not free to operate on an ongoing basis, which means it will end up either milking users for ads or die.
Well that clears everything up nicely! ;-)

Ask HN: What translation services for localisation?
Currently looking at localisation for a B2B application (focus on small businesses). The technical side seems quite straight forward and now focus on translation of all texts.

Googling ends up with the following alternatives:
- Google translate (not a real option)
- Mechanical Turk (two iterations for proofing?)
- Professional translation services

What translation services are you using? Looking for something not too expensive.
Only if you don't lose too much yield. Look at high mountain plants on Earth, they're hardly edible and live in a much friendlier environment than Mars.

No matter how complex a computer gets, nobody will ever be considered a murderer for destroying it. It has no feelings, but only simulations of feelings.

Humans have a soul, a consciousness which no amount of material complexity can generate. I at least have never heard of any legitimate theory.
Have you guys thought about trial employment with payment -- that was an idea suggested a couple months ago. I think the upfront cost would be better than having a false positive.
It could be entirely the men's fault. However, the article struck me as odd. She presented the issues seemingly from a moral high ground and overly black and white. It's somehow always the other's fault (even her helpful coworker). I get the impression that she's a troublemaker. Visiting her Twitter profile, she is out and "smashing the patriarchy". I think it's important to hear the issues of women in the workplace, but we shouldn't let the extremists take over the conversation.

Reading about a patriarchy in the US makes me escpacially angry, because it belittles the suffering from women under actual patriarchies.

AirBnB is a now usually a terrible deal for guests and increases resident rental shortages/costs by illegally converting residential units into commercial rentals.

When they started, they were great for guests. Now there's an abundance of guests and a shortage of hosts, so the system is strongly tilted in favor of hosts.

- Hosts always get rebuttals on reviews

- Guests cannot comment when their stay is cancelled before arrival

- Guest reviews are public which discourages honest feedback

- Dealing with a problem is nearly impossible (how do I take a picture of the fact that my 'apartment' is a hotel room? And why can't I talk to anyone?)

- AirBnB's compensation for a failed stay is a 10% re-booking bonus which doesn't begin to cover the additional cost, time, and stress of having to find a new place at the last minute at 10pm because your flight was 6 hours delayed and the one you booked with great reviews was misrepresented

In some markets AirBnB can be the last/best option, but I do my best to avoid financially supporting them if there is a reasonable alternative.
