There's a second part to a Deja Vu phenomenom that often gets overlooked... the feeling that you've had this experience before is coupled with the ability to predict what will happen next based on the 'memory'.

Next time you get deja vu, try to "remember" what happens next. It's scarily accurate after you willingly try it once or twice.

My overall hypothesis is somewhat inline with yours (although I don't have nearly the expertise to properly examine these things) - that somehow the brain 'skips' filing the memory properly, and the experience being recalled milliseconds later as "now" is being mis-remembered as "past".

Very cool machine our brain.

Are they hiring? :D
Two questions spring to mind that are not immediately obvious from the website - how do they get access to your messages in different accounts?

Are they using some API? Or do they ask you for your username/password for each service and "helpfully" login for you?

2 months ago, HN was ripping apart IH:

But at HN, it seems we have short memories and money triumphs morality.
I doubt it's a bandwidth issue. It's probably that they have to keep more servers/servers with more ram up to index all the messages. Keeping something on a disk that never gets read is far less expensive than keeping it in RAM and indexed so that it can be quickly and easily searched.
In every industry hiring people is a last resort, that's why Trickle Down Economics doesn't work.

Let's set aside the legality issue for the moment and assume that United was not legally allowed to have the man removed from the flight. What then is the appropriate response of the passenger? Is non-cooperation (i.e., require people to physically remove you from your seat) the right thing to do? Is physically resisting (hitting, pushing, grappling with, etc.) those sent to remove you permissible?
If it was overbooked those excess passengers weren't on the plane. United wanted to fly 4 of their own employees (who showed up after everyone was boarded and seated) and "asked" for 4 seats from boarded paying customers.

Without the employee passengers they were not overbooked or any overbooked passengers were not on the plane and we're irrelevant to the situation.

I have flown plenty of times with other airlines when they overbooked and asked for volunteers. They do it in the terminal before boarding starts and generally don't have any problem getting someone to take $800 to hang around for the next flight.

In those cases:

1) the terminal attendant can tell you exactly when you'll be able to resume your flight

2) you can know whether or not the delay will have you sleeping in an airport and can negotiate for a hotel if necessary.

In this case no one (and why would they) took them up on a game of $800 flight roulette, so they had security drag a random guy off the plane.

It was ridiculous when they made some kids have a dress code and refused to let them fly.

This, on the other hand, should be illegal.

From that snopes article: "the “claim that the name is an amalgam of star and Orion is daft, but then this is a company that called one of its economy cars the Lettuce.”"

I had to google that, and got http://uk.complex.com/sports/2012/07/the-25-most-ridiculous-.... If that's a joke, it is taking it too far, so it just be true. => Apparently, the 'Lettuce' was a car, and they also sold the "Mitsubishi Mini Active Urban Sandal". Most cars there are Asian, so I guess this is a sign of a cultural chasm between 'the west' and 'the east'.
I've tried to give IRC a chance a few times, but it always felt like there were a few too many odd little things to learn before I could be productive and comfortable. I didn't get used to it and dropped it. It never felt inviting.

I use slack at work and love it. I fully agree that it isn't that different from IRC and I hate that it's another walled garden (of sorts), but it fixes a lot of the little annoyance in dealing with IRC.
Symantec had already concluded that Longhorn was a group based in North America. That was partly based on the American time zones they saw, but also on the finding that Longhorn primarily targeted devices in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East—and seemed particularly averse to American computers.

Now the CIA is going to claim that for national security reasons, they're going to have to hack American computers too.

> Why not DNS round-robin?

Round-robin may be sufficient for your needs. However, the load balancing techniques that linkerd employs solved real production issues for us. These techniques allowed us to be paged less frequently for minor errors and we could more reliably make changes to the system without causing user-facing issues.

No, he's just implying that it's a smart move for Stripe. He doesn't even know the cost of the transaction.
If you dive head-first into Python's string behaviour, you'll eventually learn the hard UnicodeDecodeError-way what the difference is between a stream of bytes/octets and a text made of unicode code points.
Much the same as learning that a timestamp without a timezone is not worth much, a text as a stream of bytes is not much worth without the encoding it is in.

I don't think it's so much the particular diet, as it is the lack of refined sugars and highly processed foods. Every person I've met from outside North America always makes fun of American food. Things like canned vegetables, frozen meals, etc. simply do not exist in most of the world. We as a culture have chosen convenience over health and nutrition.

From the cost perspective in retrospect, it's going to save them at least hundreds of millions from the tarnished branding, stock market lost and future lawsuits if their employees were to take a taxi / coach bus / or even private charter flights to commute.

I'm holding off my downvote to see if i can get a straight answer out of you. Nylas Mail bills itself as the best email app. Them's strong words, but maybe you're worth the claim? Let's see!

I see from screenshots that Nylas has folders and labels. Can i use either of these in the following fashion?

- i can have a tree structure of them

- an email can be in two separate folders/labels at the same time

- folders/labels can be configured to learn which emails to automatically sort into themselves, based on the email contents, by dragging and dropping the email into or out of them

Ball's in your court.

E: Bonus round! In this screenshot there's only 6 emails in the list: https://www.nylas.com/static/img/nylas-mail/hero_graphic_mac... Is there a way to get a list of emails where each line is actually only a line of text tall?

Lack of experience in AI is not necessarily disqualifying. I'd like to see some evidence that the person applying is capable of doing the thing they are setting out to do, though.

>C# has been the default way to write Windows apps since the early 2000s.

No, it really hasn't. It was just the way Microsoft proposed businesses to write bloated internal enterprise apps, what they used to use VB for.

Those are not the same as desktop apps -- and no, or very very few, desktop apps, ever turned to C#. Not even MS own apps, like Office, and surely nothing like Abobe's or countless others.

>It is no more "closer to the metal" than JavaScript.

Actually it very much is: it is statically typed, it has scalar types and contiguous memory allocation that allow for much better speeds (hence the effort to add some of those things asm.js and the like for Javascript), and it even has AOT compilation.

Besides, it's not JS itself that's the problem (though it took millions and top notch teams to make it fast): it's the web stack on top of it. C# just runs on a thin CLR VM layer -- and the graphics are native.

I doubt Discourse will run on a $5 VPS. The last time I checked its crashes on 512MB RAM, needs at least 1GB just to start. Have the minimum requirements changed? 1GB minimum and 2GB is recommended by Discourse itself.

Discourse is also not easy to setup, its quite involved and complex and you need some Ruby and systems expertise. Infact I think Discourse only supports Docker installs. So you need to know Docker too.

Given the complexity you should be pretty comfortable with Ruby to run it with any amount of confidence. The hosted option seems much better than trying to run it yourself.
If every government entity can fake/scrub/modify time zones, how are time zones are a "tell" at all?

Let's say the US uses French time zones and France uses US eastern time zones. You've discovered malware that for whatever reason has time stamps for US Eastern.

Ok, so is there any credible way to figure out whether somone is buying a Qualcomm iPhone or Intel one?

As a totally noob to state-of-art in mobile modems, I guess Qualcomm chips support the latest specification than Intel one, on paper, but in reality Capex intensive telecom operators are hardly on bleeding edge specification, so performance may very well be equal for the ~2 year cycle-life of a iPhone.
It's similar, yeah, but actually it wasn't binary or text mode, it was IMAGE, ASCII and EBCDIC modes. Image was essentially binary, but the other two would translate text encodings so that you could convert documents to a format that was readable on other machines.

A few comments that I hope are constructive. Looking at your page, I'm not confident you're avoiding the issue by which these tools proliferate:

https://xkcd.com/927/

Your users and their clients are still going to be using Slack and email, but it seems like you're giving me one more thing to log into. You write:

> Schedule your time spent and group distracting reminders and notifications in one place

If this "one place" is a separate silo from Slack, Outlook, Basecamp, Skype, SMS, Discord, Hipchat, IRC, and Github...it's not the one place I'll need to check. It's the n+1th place.

Now, if I can put my credentials into Calmbird (securely would be nice, but you can have the plaintext if you can make this insanity stop) and have it do the API connection to - or, if necessary, the nasty DOM-manipulation, Windows message hacking, and client-impersonating - to put all these services and their notifications in one place, that would be a solution to the proliferation problem.

Also:

> schedule automatic emails to your clients with updates

My clients don't want automatic emails, especially from templates/digests. They want me to hand-craft them as if it was the most important thing in my life. And while they can understand a curt update message or a missed daily status notification, the real point of these updates are to confirm that I'm still on the project. If a message accidentally went out with a placeholder like "I'm still working on {todo-insert-task-here}", and I didn't know about it, that would be...bad.
You're not wrong, but the article the author linked to[1] specifically deals with the problem of modern web page size bloat (which is why it feels out of place to the rest of the article, IMO.)

Other than declarative vs imperative, please substantiate your post with examples of what isn't possible in WPF or Cocoa.

Ditto. The apps I have were chosen because they already work the way I want. Changing it will (likely as not) make it unsuitable for my purposes.
I thought I recall reading someplace that the angles and the walls constructed from them created some kind of auditory dampening/scrambling effect so that sounds did not emanate out from the structure in any intelligible way.

Congrats, Courtland! If I were to be acquired by any company, I'd want it to be Stripe!
> I think all these "massive cost" comments come from sheer ignorance.

I can't speak for others, but for me, the "massive costs" isn't about having to learn another language or framework. It's instead the massive costs to my employer. It might even be a massive cost to me as a single developer.

By developing a cross-platform app using a single set of easy-to-use tools, a large audience of users can be gained, that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive to support if native-only was the mantra. Instead, that application would have to be developed for only one, maybe two of the "major" platforms (and guess which platform it wouldn't be developed for - that would be the platform that I like most).

Supporting and maintaining a single codebase for one platform is a monumental task for any company, let alone a single indie developer. Supporting and maintaining multiple codebases for multiple platforms can be debilitating for a company, let alone a single developer.

I lived and played in those times; back in the "second gen" if you will of the microcomputer days - you had games and apps by different companies, and developers. In most cases, a game or app was only developed for one of those machines (usually the Apple IIe or the C=64, sometimes both - maybe an Atari too), but the other systems were all considered "second tier" by most developers. You might get a port of a game or app - but most times, you had to settle for something else, or buy a second system (ha! only if you had real money! I look back on the costs of those systems back then, and wonder how my parents ever managed it).

There's a reason you see a lot less of that going on today; it isn't because devs are frightened of learning a new language or framework.
Am I the only one struggling to understand the hex dump? The author says "0x79 is the z in the ASCII table." That's wrong. 'z' is 0x7a.

The author also says "In UTF-8 all characters after 0x79 are at least two bytes long." That's also wrong. All characters after 0x7f get encoded as two or more bytes.
If you saw a picture of it (remember, it's shaped like a pentagon), would you recognize it? I'd bet yes, making it recognizable.

You might try to see if it's come kind of contextual speedwriting. I learned a version of speedwriting in college in which the letter "e" and the letter "i" are exactly the same and deduced later by context; likewise, the letter "h" and the letters "la" appear to be the same. In other words, it might be more of a crude symbolic code. Just a thought.
Nope, those figures were after adding up all the processes. What I have noticed in switching between platforms is that applications tend to report a far lower memory usage in Windows than on Linux or OS X.

Might just be an accounting difference. Forked process applications in particular are very difficult to account, because even their private/RSS may be COW from another process.
Are you asking for highly regulated products and services that aren't terrible?

If so, automobile manufacturing is highly regulated, as is banking. Plenty of competition exists. In both, I have a very granular range of choices at different price points, and have no trouble finding ones I am happy with. Airlines generally have two tiers of service, and business/first does nothing for large parts of what makes the experience terrible.

Or are you asking about less regulated industries, like hotels or restaurants?

Or maybe things that are completely unregulated?
