Huh. Didn't know this had died out; guess I'd never thought about it when I was learning German back in college. But, then....

> What is withheld is the information on the meanings of words, phrases, and sentences the students are reading.

This is not how I learned German at Idaho State University in the 2002-2003 timeframe.

Anyway, a Hebrew / Green interlinear is a very standard Bible study tool. You can find a online example at Blue Letter Bible online. They have middling worth, in my opinion. You can get an idea of what the sentence is, but you lose substantial information, possibly even the key nuance of the sentence. It would be interesting to see what an interlinear would look like for a generally factual newspaper article, as opposed to the more symbolic religious texts.

If someone is interested, I can probably translate a German newspaper paragraph into a stab at an interlinear reading (email me the request, as I have a lot on my plate and won't really be able to update it on HN).
This brings to mind a practical question - what's the largest valid file that's been located in the digits of pi? Has anyone yet found a valid jpg, say? Or gif? PDF? I suppose a text file would be easiest.

Impact is important as "monopoly" is subjective. For example, in Googles financial filings they can't break down numbers because *the search industry is highly competitive and we face challenges from the many other players in the industry".

So a company might have close to 75% market share in an industry that matters and they would be a lot easier to prosecute vs the company w/ 100% market (a fleshlight, or other trivial niche thing)
CSS specificity graphs in practice (2015)
Ghu, I've heard these arguments for so long: "it's too expensive to put a ramp in here" "we'll lose too many dorm rooms if we put an elevator in", "we can't afford to stay in business if we have to stop poisoning our employees / the neighbors"

These laws always grandfather in existing practice. UCB had plenty of time to know about it. It's unfortunate they didn't (I don't believe it was malicious) but it's fairer that we take a stand. And for chrissakes this is Berkeley the people most likely to agree with my statement!

And the fact is we all benefit long term from these changes. I didn't really care much about ramps until...I broke my leg! And years of playing and listening to extremely loud music has affected my hearing. And even "normal" people benefit from things like crash bars on doors (especially with hands full of coffee trays and sandwiches).

That is really an amazing amount of work that has gone into this next release.

This is really getting Postgres up to par with the commercial offerings, and hopefully it keeps progressing for v11.

It's especially important now since servers with more and more cores are becoming the norm.
Both A-Frame and VRML use an XML based approach to describe the scene graph but the similarities stop there. As someone mentioned, A-Frame is an entity component system that makes extensibility very easy. A-Frame is also not a standard but a JS library allowing us to iterate on the API much quicker and based on real world usage. With the lessons learned we might want to consolidate the API in a standard in the future. jQuery and its crystallization on the querySelector API is a precedent of this approach
We heard good reviews. Wanted to give it a shot because it said it sync'd to music. For people who also dance, this seemed kinda exciting.

The app was so bad though and that was the huge selling point of it and why I paid what was essentially a $150+ premium over another product. Disconnecting bluetooth constantly and the app would crash when we played a song. The idea of using it remotely was also exciting and having a partner control another's pleasure but, ultimately, it didn't work.

I'd gladly get some money back for this device knowing they also were collecting data on what we were doing.
I've had so much fun with this game. The game design is on a whole other level.

The fact I can take a regular arrow, walk up to a campfire, light the arrow on fire, shoot the ground and light THAT on fire, create an updraft and ride it with the paraglider and then swing my hammer downwards to kill everything around me is incredible.

Quite possibly one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.
Well, I was thinking purely about propelling an object that is heavier than air versus lighter than air.

An airplane only stays aloft as long as it is being propelled, after that, it's basically falling with style. Likewise, a lighter than air craft is just floating in the wind without being propelled, so the key is which is easier to propel, thus, it compares well to just throwing an object.

Do Google and Facebook really sell data? From my understanding, they keep the data for ad targeting, feature/content recommendations. Like if I place an ad on Facebook I could put 18 to 35, who likes travel, etc to promote a hotel booking site as an example. Even if you do retarget with Facebook advertising, they don't even show you the names of the people. You have like a retargeting list, it tells you how many people but not much information on them.

Even third party developers get an ID number per user associated to that app only(think of it as a proxy to your real id number). It seems like Facebook and Google cares a lot more about privacy than people think. If they just sold me the data, I could run off with it but by keeping the data to themselves and letting marketers pay them to make use of it they make recurring revenue.

From my understanding, LexisNexis and other data brokers were the ones that are selling the data. Here's a 60 minutes clip on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAT_ina93NY

I don't have any relationship with LexisNexis, I never agreed to anything yet they have information on me. Another example is I was looking at my credit report, and it even lists addresses from childhood. I never had a credit card back then, why do they have information on me? At least with Google and Facebook, I gave consent and I see a benefit. You can even buy lists of people and their medications(sounds like a HIPPA violation but the data brokers know this stuff)
I am of the opinion that not only is traffic shaping not inherently evil but is a valuable feature that can be used to improve network efficiency but I cannot trust Comcast and the others to favour innovation and technological improvement over short term profits.
Yeah, I mean, if you don't normally go around telling attractive people, apropos of nothing, that you'd like to sleep with them, it's not really being yourself to start doing that.

"Be yourself" doesn't mean "give voice to every thought which passes your mind", it just means "don't change how you normally present yourself just because you're [giving a presentation|interviewing for a job|going out on a first date]"

Sure, "some kind of public network", but then it can't be advertised as "Internet access" because at that point you're providing access to your public network, not access to the Internet as a whole.

The issue is ISPs, who by definition are supposed to provide Internet access. Throttling and filtering for profit are not compatible with the Internet as we know it.

It may not have been the most elegant invitation to discourse, but CaptainSwing is right that Chekhov was conveying a very sexist attitude there.

The problem isn't so much that his favorite traits in a partner coincide with stereotypes of an idealized woman, it's that he goes out of his way to say that clever women aren't worthy partners because they're liars. The rest of his letter shows that he clearly values intelligence for himself and other men, and he clearly holds himself up to a standard that avoids lying, but for women, he thinks intelligence will produce an untrustworthy mate. He acknowledges that he is clever and honest, but does not think a female partner can share those traits. That double-standard is a flaw in his thinking and his character. An extremely common flaw for men of his time period, but a flaw nonetheless.

Acknowledging an author's sexism doesn't make his work any less meaningful, it just gives another insight into the mind of the man who wrote it. It can provide context for analysis of other parts of his work and open up some questions into his beliefs. Was he emotionally hurt by clever women lying to him? Or did he just cut-and-dry accept patriarchic notions of women as lesser beings who can't achieve the same standards of intelligence and morality? If it's the latter, what other false notions did he accept and do those make themselves apparent in his works? If it's the former, are there any aspects of his work that delve further into the theme of trust violation in relationships?
$ echo "1." | jq .
1

jq is great, but doesn't preserve float/int distinction. There may be other canonicalization details that pretty printers don't address.

It might be simpler to change jq and/or other pretty printers (though might be implementation or design reasons not to).

But the other advantage of a new project like SON is positioning not engineering, in our heads, not in the code: tool for the job. If so, the page should spend more time on what that job is (for when people search for that job).

And, as the jq example shows, tools not designed for this job mightn't do it exactly right.

Oooh perfect, a googleable term to capture thoughts I've been worrying over for years now.

I am a very different person than I was 10 years ago - I think so, and people around me think so. But the question of "who I am, on the inside," I think I would answer with traces of that old self, even though that old self never outwardly manifests anymore.

So there's "me, me," the version that is quick to judge others, has a hyper-inflated ego, wants to sit around and watch netflix, and eat a lot of donuts. Then there's "I wish I was this guy, me," the 15% bodyfat 225lb bench 10x programmer that everybody loves, and then there's the "me that other people see," which is somewhere between the other two versions. So which one is "me?" Me-me has a desire to become "I-wish-me" and is acting on that desire in concrete ways, and tamps down "me-me" mindsets in order to achieve that. So are there two individuals in this body fighting? What's going on?

Looking forward to reading more about Shaiva Tantra, thanks for bringing it up.
It comes down to what you are most experienced and familiar with. Choosing based on that is fine, but you have to realize that might be a very bad decision mid or long term. The author seems to be aware of that so all is good. It took a few somewhat successful projects gone wrong for me to learn to prefer objectively simpler techogies technologies even if it takes extra few weeks to start. But if your hard budget deadline is literally within weeks it makes sense to prioritize fast, familiar and easy.
I've noticed largely the same thing. I tried to purge it by unfollowing / hiding every major news source without blocking friends because MOST of the negative stuff in my feed was attached to links in those news sources.

The algorithm knows how to make you engage though. I'd get lost in really good debates with people over topics that we've discussed a before...and it just struck me about what a time sink it is because no matter how much we discuss things, nothing changes. All I'm doing it generating ad traffic for Facebook because they're keeping me engaged.

It's a lot easier to like a baby picture and walk away than it is to walk away from a topic you like discussing (and there are a lot of political topics that I like discussing). One of my good friends is a teacher and at some point in our discussion I made an observation that I'd never really thought of before (that had some negative implications)...and he did not take it well and got really, really upset with me. I apologized by phone, we cleared it up...

But at that point it really just finally hit the "enough is enough" point where nothing good is coming from this activity anymore...and I was done. And it's been great...except that now I notice how much time other people spend on it a lot more.

Regarding the observation point of contention, we were discussing the limits of current attempts at implementing school choice where schools had to opt in rather than giving people the money to go wherever they wanted. I realized that by including any type of religious name in a school, it basically legalized discrimination against poorer families since government funds wouldn't allow them to attend those schools. Struck me as an angle of the discussion I hadn't considered before and he took it as implying that he endorsed discrimination against those families - which would understandably upset anyone.

Illiberal arts colleges: Pay more, get less (free speech)
I don't think anyone here is going to argue that the internet shouldn't be open.

The real question behind that – and where we differ – is how the role of government fits into that.

If you believe government is inherently good and necessary to enable a "basic right" like the internet, then yes, of course, government should be the one to keep the internet open. This is Sam's view.

On the other hand, if you distrust government and believe their own interests for power and control are always in play, then handing them even more control of the internet is absolutely not the solution.

Knowing what we know of the NSA's mass-surveilance and CIA's targeted hacking and surveillance for unclear-at-best purposes, doesn't that at least give you pause about whether government should be the one to keep the internet open?
I'd argue it that does hurt (a lot) to let go of what you belive in, and that is why people do not desire englightenment.

Thanks for the link, I think it's a step in the right direction. I've stopped wearing Pebble Steel because it's too ugly, though the functionality is perfect: you can see what's happening with your phone to decide whether you want to take it out of the bag to respond to a call or a message.

What would be perfect, is a classic timepiece design with really high-contrast and high-resolution display as a watch face, which would display something only in case of incoming notification. I.e. a smart watch should have a mode where it looks totally "dumb" and classy.
> it's outside their sphere of control

It is absolutely within their sphere of control. They can not show photos or names until the deal is done. Why does a renter need to see the face and name of the person renting?

As the market maker it is up to AirBnB to verify legitimacy of buyers and sellers. Photos and names add little to the transaction itself and are clearly reducing the buy side with no gain on sell side.

This guy makes his situation sound pretty fucking dire and then blames react for slowing him down? It takes awhile to learn any new technology. So he goes with what he knows. How is this React's problem? I worked with React for a year and know well enough to get a brand new app up in less than a day. So it'd make sense for me to choose React. I don't understand why this guy is blaming React.

I wonder if the view of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units would change based on the number on one place. For example, a single building with 12 SROs in the middle of a single family home neighborhood is less offensive than one with 100 units, or 1000.

Or a single unit SRO, tiny house, that could be easily incorporated into existing properties. Again, the tech exists to create a living space in a 100sqft footprint, but the regulations make adoption difficult.

TL;DR: Author already knows Angular 1.x, doesn't have the time to learn anything new.

"The stack you already know" is generally a good choice, yes. But the title is misleading and somewhat clickbait; he's not "throwing out" React; he's keeping Angular. He doesn't list any technical advantages Angular 1.x has, and in fact he labels it "obsolete" and says using it in the long term is "suicidal".

A better headline is "sometimes you gotta use the crap stack you have instead of learning a new one"; nothing he says has anything to do with specific frameworks.
Last time I tried (6 months ago) I couldn't find a proto3 implementation for Haskell that was complete ( https://github.com/google/proto-lens doesn't do Any, https://github.com/alphaHeavy/protobuf doesn't do proto3). Maybe one exists, or I could use proto2 and rewrite the other system I was working with.

I decided it was easier in my case to just output JSON.
I wonder about the difference in success between "genuine" people who's "genuine self" happen to align, purposefully through self-development or as an accident of their upbringing, with whatever their culture views as a successful/leader personality. Even better if that could be compared to a very good "liar," i.e. someone who "fakes it until they make it."

It's a good self realization to have.
Ding-ding-ding! That's the ticket. I just didn't look around close enough.

Thanx muchly
Sure, if you know you're faster with Angular 1.x than go for it. With your circumstances, building the product with speed should be number one priority. Personally I'd be infinitely faster with React, but thats because I have a lot more experience with it than Angular. Best of luck!
