>Pretty sure this is all snake oil — both f.lux and Night Shift. I don't doubt that blue light affects our brains. But I see no evidence that color filter software has any impact.

A color filter such as in Flux and NS removes blue light.

>If the issue is the number of blue photons per square millimeter of our retinas, why isn't it being discussed as such? This means screen brightness and distance from your face would have a much bigger impact than a color filter.

No, it doesn't mean that at all.

Or rather, it does, but it's a moot point. All you're saying is: you can reduce blue light with an orange filter, but you can also go away from your screen or dim it so you can't see it. Or even not use a computer at all.

While all of those things hold, the "orange filter" achieves the same thing (removing blue light) without affecting our ability to work regularly on the computer (increased distance, less brightness, etc).

I'm not sure how people come up with such logic errors.

>FWIW the only person I've known to use f.lux is an insomniac who barely ever sleeps and is always tired.

It's not worth much. It's not supposed to cure insomnia (which has 2000+ different causes), just to keep up with the natural light changes and improve sleep.

I work in a digitization departement in a multiplicity, which translates to me doing almost nothing but replacing jobs with software automation.

Things like going through 500.000 cases containing multiple documents and sorting them correctly can be done with Azure services in 5 hours after a 14 month algorithm training period. It takes 5 people working 37 hours a week 3-5 months to achieve the same result and they will have a larger margin of error than the machine. I know this, because we did the same process as a competition between man and machine.

Getting back to the point, however, everyone loves my department. Part of this is because people aren't really fired due to automation, we solve the freed up resources by not hiring people when someone retires, but the main reason is because we automate boring stuff.

Nobody wants to sort through 500.000 cases manually, so you're absolutely correct, automation can free up humanity.

Some people will spend their time being productive, but the truth is you don't have to. That is, if we manage to take back ownership from companies.

What an amazingly horrible, ignorant, and hypocritical comment.

I presume you've been there and witnessed this mass murder, torture, and famine first-hand? I also presume you can account for never having spent a single cent on any product that may have originated in North Korea (let's point out here that Korea trades a lot with China and China exports a fair amount to other countries...). I'd like to further presume that you can account for the North Korean government not spending a single cent earned from tourism on supporting the health, education, and general welfare of any of its citizens - normal every day people with jobs and families and interests? If I may make 1 more presumption - the government to which you may pay tax, as well as those to which you've ever contributed to via tourism, trade, or other means, have never spent any money whatsoever on anything that might be deemed unacceptable according to the current Western moral zeitgeist? How does China tourism fare with you? How about Saudi Arabia? Ever paid for anything from either of those countries?

While some tourism money obviously does go to into government programmes that most of us are going to disagree with, I don't think that's an argument against North Korean tourism altogether. Such programmes would likely continue with or without tourism money.

An agency offering North Korea tourism packages is not only serving a market demand (are you claiming that anyone who is interested in visiting North Korea is "disgusting"?!) but also offering an opportunity for increased understanding. There is value in what they're offering, to both North Korean people (not just their authoritarian government) and the people who visit.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the lack of CL libraries is somewhat self-imposed. "We don't need no stinking libraries. Since CL is so AWESOME, a competent CL programmer can reimplement whatever he needs in a fraction of the time that programmers using a lesser language would need even with the help of ready-made libraries". See "smug Lisp weenie".

Not saying that the above is actually factually true; certainly quicklisp has done a lot to make 3rd party libraries a lot more approachable.

Being useful.

Yes you can use many tricks, and they work. But in the end of the day you are not different that a czsino, a drug dealer or a tabloid magazin when you use them.

It is more economically efficient to trick the user into staying in the short run. But in the long run, we are using google and stack overflow because they are the most useful, not for tricks.

Among tricks, some useful ones are also often badly implemented and become armful.

Ex: notifications are only useful if it result in more productivity than distraction. I hate most notifications, they disturb my flow, but I like being request them for specific cases to save me time.

A light gamification can be fun, but if it's at the price of my main usage of the site I'll leave.

Unfortunately, hn readers are not a good sample for user behavior. We all have ad blockers, we boycott sites with behavior we dislike and we know how to by pass stupid tech decisions.

But if you manage to engage hn users with the same content and design than regular user, your model has a good base to be sustainable because it has credibility.

Credibility is harder to build than addiction. It's not quickly as rewarding, but it more reliable. And more satisfying for you.

". A single parent who is working 2 minimum wage jobs to feed their family. An extremely common example."

But nobody forced her or him to make a child and then split up, right?

So you can argue, they had a choice of taking care for safe income first and a stable relationship, before making babys and then complaining it is hard to feed them, without proper qualification and then demanding society has to help them ...

So, I indeed think that society should help those in need, but I don't think it MUST. Because it means in the end, forcing other people to work for other peoples mistakes. (in general, there are exceptions obviously)
As an ex Gamebody (pre Advanced) developer that got a great job doing professional development after playing around with developing on an open source emulator, I have to say that I got into doing it because it was just great fun.

These machines are small enough to fit in your head when you're developing, and you really learn to get 'down to the metal' when your builtin libraries are memory addresses and ranges. The development is fast and fun.

I totally recommend checking it out and making a couple of games on something like the Gameboy or Gameboy advance. An excellent learning experience.

More likely, websites will blacklist your IP address. Tor Project wants everyone to know all exit IPs.

The general consensus on tor-relays seems to be against running relays, or at least exit relays, at home.
Disk space is cheap. And we've got multi CPU core servers.

So now we have the issue that you have lots of applications running on the same server, and how do we make sure the right version of some shared lib is on there. And that we won't break another program by updating it.

Containers solve that. No more worrying if that java 8 upgrade will break some old application.

So now every application stack is a static application.

There are a number of Chinese keyboards (with "Cherry-like" switches) for about $40 (e.g. [1]). As others pointed out, the switches are the more expensive part, especially now that only few manufactures make them (Cherry, mostly). But it seems that the market amongst gamers has grown large enough that there's some competition coming on. Regarding their quality, I'll doubt they'll outlive Model M buckling springs, but shouldn't fare worse than modern laptop/Apple scissor switches. (This being a gamer thing, styling is often not that great, either. The "tenkeyless" ones are minimalistic enough to be okay, and you don't have to turn on the "Tokyo by Night" mode)

[1]: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016MAK38U

I'd disagree with the pricing though. Even a good non-mech one should cost more than that, it's just that keyboards have been getting crappier as people don't use them anymore.

> the same shlib, then no, you don't need this mechanism

And if you want to use a modern development tool chain you don't really have this choice. They produce statically linked binaries that need, at minimum, their own process and TCP port (if you run a proxy which when you think about it is pretty wasteful).

There is no good reason (other than ease of tool chain development) for that, and it's probably cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in servers and power, but there you go.

PHP and Java are essentially the only languages with good support for running without containers, and Java isn't even used that way usually.

May be a good time to reconsider that move abroad. There are quite a bunch of places that still cherish privacy or don't even bother about privacy (so you run your own infrastructure as you like), while you still get to conduct your business reliably. With an Internet connection and a few good bank accounts (and of course a BTC wallet), you can be anywhere these days and still accomplish so much. But you must be willing to be quite flexible about your worldview and learn.

Ha-Joon Chang is quite the champion of List.

He was also charmed to hear of a find I'd stumbled across -- a bit of an economic policy edit war between the British editors, and American publishers, of Chambers Encyclopaedia. Seems there was a slight difference of opinion on matters of trade (and other issues). The publisher also produced a number of List's books in the US.

Clojure variants are incompatible in various basic ways, since they use the host language for various things. The underlying platform also restricts what the implementation provides. No TCO in JVM -> no TCO in Clojure. Numbers are internally floats in Javascript -> Numbers are internally floats in ClojureScript and use Javascript semantics, not Clojure-Semantics.

Clojure:

Clojure 1.8.0
user=> (/ 3 4)
3/4

ClojureScript

cljs.user=> (/ 3 4)
0.75

Looks like these are different languages...

Common Lisp implementations OTOH implement most of the standard. There is also more choice in implementations:

* native implementations AND hosted implementations

* actual Lisp interpreters or a mix of interpreters and compilers, interactive compilers, batch compiler

* compilers written in Lisp itself with good error messages, forms of compile-time type checking/inference, and advanced error handling (like SBCL, CMUCL)

* compilation to C, full embedding into C programs (ECL and others)

* full embedding in C++ (CLASP)

* compilation to shared libraries, embeddable into other applications

* whole program compilers for delivery of compact applications (like mocl)

The main Clojure compiler is written in Java and it shows...

https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/cloju...

If one targets a certain host environment (JVM, Javascript, ...) then this range of options and choice might not matter, even hinder - besides getting a poorer version of interactivity.

If we see a Lisp as a language on its own, then it matters a lot.

It would be nice to have a third option when building binaries: some kind of tar/jar/zip archive with all the dependencies inside. It would give the pros of static and shared libraries without everything else containers imply. The OS could the be smart enough to only load identical libraries once.

I've always wanted to explore the topic of diff in depth, but so far haven't been able to. I have some links that I've stashed; hopefully they will be useful.

I believe the classic for typical textual diff is this article by Myers, whose algorithm is still the default in git: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01840446

Git has two other diff algorithms, patience and histogram: http://alfedenzo.livejournal.com/170301.html https://github.com/git/git/commit/8c912eea94a2138e8bc608f7c3...

For binary/executable code, I believe Colin Percival's bsdiff is the best: http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ although he hints that his thesis contains a better algorithm.

For just executables, however, I think Google Chrome uses Courgette, which actually performs disassembly first: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/softwar...

Also useful is libxdiff, which is a C library offering various diff utilities: http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html
While I'm not sure I agree entirely with the "Complexity == Bugs" section, the main point, that containers are first-class citizens but a (useful) combination of independent mechanisms is spot-on. This has real repercussions: most people I've spoken do don't know these things exist. They know containers do, they have a very vague idea what containers are, but they have no fundamental understanding of the underlying concepts. (And who can blame them? Really, it was marketed that way.)

For example, pid_namespaces, and subreapers are an awesome feature¹, and are extremely handy if you have a daemon that needs to keep track of a set of child jobs that may or may not be well behaved. pid_namespaces ensure that if something bad happens to the parent, the children are terminated; they don't ignorantly continue executing after being reparented to init. Subreapers (if a parent dies, reparent the children to this process, not init) solve the problem of grandchildren getting orphaned to init if the parent dies. Both excellent features for managing subtrees of processes, which is why they're useful for containers. Just not only containers.

But developers aren't going to take advantage of syscalls they have no idea that they exist, of course.

¹although I wish someone could tell me why pid_namespaces are root-only: what's the security risk of allowing unprivileged users to create pid_namespaces?
The hot use-case of the PGMs approach has often been in the discriminative setting (see M^3 and latent SVM) - which is good because discriminative classifiers work well with fewer data points (see Ng, Russel).

Buy Best Domain from EASY – Select Domain Plans
I was an Excel expert before becoming a sql expert.
Following this I changed the way I created large excel models, now 90% of my data is in Excel tables.
The main benefit of these is they are much easier to use and manage than range names and the ranges automatically change their size to contain the data. Wish ms would add unique row ids (as we'll as the unique column ids they have) is a bit cumbersome having to setup index match everywhere to link rows in different tables.
It's amazing what you can do with sumifs and countifs these are far more powerful then the sumif - very similar to sql where clause, with multiple criteria such as <= , works with text and numbers.
I used to use tons of pivot tables but no longer, they are too unstable and confusing and very hard to format nicely.
