This in turn makes workers' pool smaller, which increases salaries, and encourages employers to move to the better connected areas.

Can't be that many spy shop related assassinations in NL, so probably this guy, Ronald Bakker.

A search on his name brings up Dutch results that badly Google translate into English, but it seems (from what I can decipher from a translation) police suspect he may have been shot after being suspected of passing on info related to another criminal investigation.
Nice! I would probably use this if there were a web front end where I could browse/search all the notes I'd taken.

>I'm guessing we need a few hundred years before we can use these things without it being associated to Nazism.

Imho this has more to do with a lack of knowledge among the general (western) populations which mostly only know the symbol from the Nazis. But not all swastika are same as there are quite a few differences in orientation and details between the Nazi Swastika and the actual Hindu/Buddhist symbols.

It would defeat the purpose of federation if there's a different server for each political persuasion. Why bother with federation if you don't want to see anything you disagree with? Each server would be its own hugbox.
I have used ncurses to build a simple backend interface, that I use for testing new features etc. The end result looks nice, and is functional, but ncurses the library is a pain. It feels like something that would not be written by a programmer today: C, manual pointer-management, the interface feels too low-level. I ended up writing a C++ wrapper around it, adding thread-safety, better scrolling and some convenience functions (the ncurses form library I believe was a particular pain).

What I would like is a high-quality redesign of ncurses with a modern C++ interface.
Federighi pretty much confirms this; in the 4 years since the Mac Pro, they realized that the Mac Pro won't handle hotter GPUs. But rather than immediately beginning work on a Pro that would handle better GPUs, they just thought better iMacs would be good enough "and really put a lot of our energy behind that". They thought iMacs would be "pro" enough, until the backlash got too much and now they're scrambling to regain developer/professional confidence.
The common use-case is laptop vs. desktop. If you have a 34in. WQHD display, full-screening one app is going to be silly; if you're stuck with the built-in display on an MBP when you're at the cafe, it's much more practical.
Since they tacitly acknowledge that it still makes sense for people to be on 5,1 graters, I hope this means those machines are officially supported for a couple more major OS X versions.

Who is worried about nazis? Really? Any why take any default political stance as a medium. About as smart as voat's strategy of going the opposite direction.

This would be helped by doing a bit of extra research to include a summary of existing solutions; ideally the interviewee would explain a bit of detail about anything they had experience with (why it didn't work).
Not to mention a small anarchocapitalist (black/yellow) flag under the snakes near the top left.

Supposedly the Trump Supporters at The_Donald attempted to create a few Trump memes and Pepe frogs, but gave up and concentrated on keeping the US flag intact.

Other than that, the right couldn't get much traction at all.
Wow...pretty amazing how easily that site killed my desktop.
As I understand it, most organizers used bots to help coordinate the process. People who care about politics on Reddit are no less likely to be tech savvy.
In essence, I think what makes HN work is having had a very good "seed" of users and high quality contributions at the very start. Every new user is then peer pressured to only submit/post content of equal quality and will be punished if they don't (by being ignored/downvoted). But also good moderation. I am yet to come across a web community that works and doesn't have good moderation.
That's a reasonable case for an Apple laptop. The Mac Pro is targeted at different use cases and competes against different products on computational power. Signal processing workloads like Audio and Video editing that rely on Fourier transforms and parallel array processing benefit from big power hungry CPU's and GPU's; gobs of RAM; and large fast persistent storage arrays.

Someone who is processing lots of video or audio for money may spend most of their week at a desk in one or two apps and the faster the throughput of their machines the easier it is to meet client deadlines. And hardware starts to matter a lot and throwing hardware at the problem is often a good idea...the logic of rendering farms is the same as server farms.
I'd honestly rather have it on my machine, rather than on a server. I get a lot of work done in places with pretty dubious network connectivity.

You should offer training. A problem I see in a lot of businesses is old school thinking.

I recommend Torkel Franzén's Gödel's Theorem: An Incomplete Guide to Its Use and Abuse. It is readable without sacrificing rigor.

> I don't have to experience something to know anything about it. I'll make my opinion from a far from statistics that have no correlation to whether a datacenter could actually thrive in Kenya.

First of all, I reject the notion that only first hand experiences are a valid way of forming opinions. In fact I would argue that statistics and facts are better than feelings and impressions for making business decisions in basically every single way.

Second, I never said a datacenter wouldn't thrive in Kenya. It probably would, as Afrika is in dire need of a datacenter, which is the context of this thread.
That said, I wouldn't build a datacenter in Kenya, because I - in contrast to your assertion that Kenya isn't "the backwoods that the west thinks it is" - think that the facts conclusively prove that Kenya is, in fact, a shithole.

Other countries (like America) may have their problems, but not at this scale and severity.

That's my impression, too. It offers a really nice feature set and surely is the one piece of windows you can get the most done with out of the box.

Christianity is a completely political phenomenon (as a cursory historical examination will demonstrate) and public advocacy of it is a political act.

Similarly, most things, including fandoms, are political in nature whether they want to be or not. By liking Star Trek, you're buying into a box of propositions, some related to the art and some related to the real-world universe around that art. By (as in the Reddit experiment) working to expand it, you're making a political claim.

People are political, people are never not political, and drawing an imaginary line to try to separate some political acts from others is pretty fruitless.

How Do Hundreds of Your Genetic Variants Impact Your Heart Health?
Thanks for the info j_s.

The project has been going for some time and as far as I know, headless Chrome wasn't an option back then.

I've come across it in the past but I didn't realize it was as far-forward as that page suggests - looks really neat and sadly, might render my modest efforts obsolete.

Windows and macOS are the priority now since we are using it for rendering web content inside my company's primary application and for us at least, the focus is on those platforms. There is a working Linux implementation - it just needs some love from someone who knows what they're doing.

I'll take a closer look. Thank you!
I'm interested in this. Whats your progress so far? What techniques are you using; can you point me to any research papers? Best of luck on your project.
If you don't want to code on it, windows is fine. (and if you can get past them violating your privacy)

If you need to code on it.... just don't

I love my windows machine for doing all my leisure activities. Its a shame that after all these years they can't learn from linux/mac and make a decent dev environment

I remember how mind blowing it was to install pip/python on my windows when I was first starting out. Easily installing packages from the cmd, so revolutionary! /s
Induced demand occurs when the price of using something is not dependent on demand. A road without a toll is a good example of this because the cost of using the road, relative to alternatives, is low.

It's like a restaurant that gives out free food - why wouldn't you want to eat there? Forget other restaurants, and forget cooking at home. Free food! Except the line will likely be longer than at a restaurant that costs money.

If you add a demand-priced toll to a road, and adjust the price to maintain a certain level of traffic flow, induced demand will not occur. If traffic is congested, raise the price. If traffic is flowing freely and sparsely, lower the price.
> consensus

So you're saying that we need consensus to do things now? My sides are splitting.

Can you name a thing that you think we have "consensus" about?

edit: and wait... "easier to find consensus"! I admit you lost me there. We just don't live in the same world. Do we have consensus for the policies we have now? So what is the justification for favoring them?
For something like this the level of organization is tiny. I added to tux, and all I need was the picture of tux. I barely needed that because I just refilled pixels people poked into him.
0AD was great two years ago, still in alpha though. I try it once a year but the progress is very slow, and things are more broken (AI) than two years ago (tried it in Dec 16). Don't get me wrong you can play many map styles, and get hours of gameplay out of it. It's an open source project, so one shouldn't compare it with other triple-A games, for a open source game it's superb and very much comparable to Age of Mythology . The project needs more supporters. Though 0AD is my biggest hope, maybe a sister project forms that use the same graphics engine and code base to develop a C&C Generals inspired game as well. In the era when Triple-A studios forgot about RTS, it's time to solve the problem of no new games through the community.
I can see that. The overall message, though, is people want less negative impact from upgrades, and there are multiple ways to address that, of which LTS and rolling-release are only two of the possibilities.
I think we've been LA for a while.
It's definitely better for customers if you have a constant supply of products to sell, but for niche hobbyist groups (like mechanical keyboard enthusiasts), it's the only way to get some stuff made. I like it. I was able to get a keyboard PCB fairly inexpensively, which is a big deal because getting one-offs of PCBs that size costs $$$.
There is no complaint to be made about Apache or MIT outside of ideology, while there are some developers who simply aren't aware that they're excluding a large part of their potential user base when selecting a copyleft license

Not sure what you mean.

It works as easy with Mutt. Open IMAP folder, select all, save to [other IMAP folder or local folder, as you wish].

Works reliable even with very large folders, you just have to wait a bit longer until it's finished.
You switched topics. They were talking about contribution (albeit enough contribution to be the main cause), and you tried to make it as though they were saying causation (meaning no other causes).
I've been working for about a year now on Juicebox, which is like turntable.fm but better:

If it's a prescription drug, then the doctor might write a prescription for the name brand drug. It's possible for a prescription not to allow a generic substitute, and it seems particularly easy to do in a case like this where the name-brand drug is not identical to the generic.

+1 for React-Virtualized as well.

FYI: there was a new "MultiGrid"[1] high level component that was added in 8.9.0 [2] which helps facilitate fixed columns/rows with less boilerplate.

Though, nearly every time I've used the MultiGrid component, I've found myself eventually dropping back to ScrollSync + Grids/Lists. As the product grows in complexity, adding more complex interactions to MultiGrid is difficult as it doesn't expose all of the Grid API.

Love this, from one of the answers the author gave:

> "You can indeed become enormously wealthy and still be a good person just playing the game. That point needed to be raised because, as Orson Welles once pointed out, everybody has their reasons. Very few people are thinking as a sociopath might think, that nothing matters to me."

Glad to see this sentiment is a driver in this book's dystopia. A little slice of healing for our political climate.

Maybe because of captive portals? Anyone connected to hotel wifi for example will just get an unresponsive application if it doesn't try to connect over http before switching to tls. Not sure Spotify should trust that connection as much as it appears to though.

Also, as long as it's only streaming audio over http (no auth details etc) the security risk is fairly low considering the added overhead, so it might not be a terrible decision.

Project: I'm working on a visual web app designer that will enable non-developers to build sites, and developers to build sites much faster. It exports to Docker+React+Node.JS but could feasibly export to other platforms too, and is automatically responsive and isomorphic.

Problem: cleanly representing different types of logic (positional/layout, CRUD logic, maths, styling) in a cohesive GUI is challenging. Fun though!
Everything is relative to what you're used to I guess. I'm from a Canadian suburb, where a 16 years old girl who got attacked in a dark alley at 3:30 am while alone made the news for 3 months because that was the worse thing that had happened in decades.

Now I'm in Boston, in a heavily gentrified area, and I'm scared shitless after 11 pm. People all tell me it's a super safe area, but I know a few people who got mugged a few blocks away in various occasions.

Maybe it's just bad luck. Maybe compared to other areas, a few people getting their backpack stolen is nothing. But feelings are not always rationals. I don't feel safe here.
Wait, you are saying mathematics exists independent of humans but logic does not. But mathematics is build on top of logic, how can it gain independence from humans if its foundation does not have such independence? Or am I just misreading your statement?
I'm designing a 3D printed robot arm that doesn't suck.

It uses all brushless outrunner motors for at least the 4 large axes (final two in wrist may be hobby servos for now).

The arm is similar dimensions to a human arm. Initial calculations show it will be able to lift more than 2kg at full extension if I can make it strong enough. Actually the (rough) calculations say more than 10kg but that would break something. It's also 200 milliseconds for 90 degrees of shoulder movement, supposedly.

All hardware and software is open source, including the brushless drivers.

It uses low cost 3D printers. I am currently using a $320 Monoprice Maker Select modded with a 1.2mm nozzle and I will be adding a $450 TEVO Black Widow modded with a 2.5mm dia nozzle to the mix. I may try a pellet feeder. The goal with the large nozzles is to increase strength and reduce print time so it's not maddening to print. This will make it easier to iterate.

My goal is to make an open source low cost arm that is useful for manufacturing, and then design open source workcells for it and actually use it for productive work.

HN quality has certainly declined and honestly some areas of Reddit (even /r/programming) are quite comparable now.

But strong moderation and a culture that abhors the typical meme crap that fills other forums is certainly helpful in keeping HN reasonable.
As someone with the 6,1 and a recently upgraded 5,1 (single CPU tray to dual, GPU, RAM, SSD), I hope you're right. I like the idea of the 6,1 but in reality the 5,1 is what I'd expect from a pro machine. The upgrade procedures for a 6,1 are not ideal and in some cases almost impossible. That's not a 'pro'duct.

Hopefully you're right!
I don't have one but what seems like a killer feature to me is automatic screen brightness and adjustable screen brightness via keyboard.

Absolutely. I think Kotlin might settle in a specific Java platform tooling category where a bunch of code in Java can be concisely expressed in Kotlin.

With Scala being more than a decade old, its most popular usage is Apache Spark project which is not saying much. Kotlin would first have to reach beyond Scala which itself is small percentage point of Java.
Sure. Isn't that what I just said? That people tend to use "FPS" to mean a genre rather than just a description of mechanics.

(The point being, it doesn't mean much to say that few FPSes have deep stories, because if a game has a deep story then people tend not to consider it an FPS.)
