Well, god forbid a title on HN contain a bit of jargon or make use of a term that sees wider currency in the Commonwealth!
There's not much information in this blog post. They seem to be "looking" for manuscripts, but don't mention finding them yet.

I guess I'm curios why it has so many upvotes?
A while back I asked a few and they said Uber paid them extra for their first year - basically all the time they were working whether they had a fare or not.
I'm pretty sure the icons are up to the theme. You could take your favorite theme, duplicate its directory, and edit the icon definition file.
Man that sucks, although in my case it would be a soldering job concern. I can't believe the Pi Zero was the only server I've gotten crontab to work so far. Tried Debian/Ubuntu I don't know why I can't get cron to run. I just want bots but a physical thing on my end I imagine is not as reliable as a hosted server (rent) for developing bots that run constantly gather stuff.
Make no mistake, inclusion and diversity at all costs is the new "religious" standard. Your personal beliefs do not matter. You will conform or you will suffer.

>"Nobody in the last 5-10 years cared about writing Desktop apps before Electron came along, there's basically zero money in it,"

Have you ever heard of League of Legends? It's a desktop application made in that time frame. It does 10 figures a year in revenue.
I'm focusing on it as a step in showing it as evidence that outrage is a serious issue for many people and not some lone wolf claim by me. This is something you specifically requested evidence for and this backs the claim, which you've essentially agreed to now, and seem to be trying to find a backpedal approach.

"I'm sorry you feel like I'm "laser-focused on extracting something". I'm just trying to determine your view."

I don't believe you. In order to provide evidence that this is truly your purpose, explain what precondition makes you pore into my view in particular and not others. Also, explain the deficiencies in my many presentations and explanations to allow me to help you determine it. Plus, you're completely ignoring my requests to determine your view, so your persistence comes across as quite hypocritical.
I'd also guess that the vast majority of deliveries are in urban areas as opposed to rural ones (in Germany at least), so it makes sense to prioritise that.
It seems to me that the two things are not mutually exclusive, and more that every community is inherently political - if it isn't really aware of it, it's never been shook hard enough.

The political actions of communities come out of political consensus, which is exactly what's happening with this letter: people are trying to agree on political action. A "politics-free" community is just one where everyone already agrees, or nothing has ever come up for people to disagree over.

Right, but we don't really have a spread on which of those 125 was using their lenses "correctly" and which were "misusing" them.

My point is that I'm betting those 125 are a subset of people that don't use their lenses according to best practices.
I purchased an MacBook Pro with touchbar to replace my Surface Pro 3. I was tired of 4-5 hour battery life on the Surface. From high school to early career, I always stuck with Apple products until the switch to Surface a years back.

It has been a tough transition to a non-touch screen. I understand the following statement doesn't have a logical foundation...I just hate staring at the touchbar. I don't like that its there, it is never useful. TouchID on a laptop is genius. USB C, I can get use to. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on that one, but I miss the magsafe connector. I like the bigger trackpad, great! I give the machine a solid 8/10.

I would love if Apple released an iPad Pro + Macbook thing. Perhaps, I can never go back from a device with touch + pen + convertible to tablet device. I am attempting to live in harmony with the touchbar, but something feels just a tad of the mark with the new Pro.
I wonder with that privacy ISP thing... yeap this guy watches... doesn't take Big Data to figure this guy out.
Tmux solves your tab needs!
Put your site in your profile. We need to support businesses like your.

Google is no cake-walk from the other end either. As someone who has paid them for ads, over 70% of the clicks are...shall we say?... low quality. Of course if you only run Google Analytics you may never realize this, but if you cross-check with something else you will.

The idea that google can better qualify leads based on search results has basically failed. Online advertising needs to be treated the same as the other media: just a method of branding.

I much prefer to pay-per-view rather than -per-click. At least I feel like I'm getting what I pay for.
Did anybody notice the photo of the wiring rack? No wonder the inmates could get away w/ running cables: http://static-26.sinclairstoryline.com/resources/media/a6609...
I expect licensed taxis to be expensive. The problem is now I have no choice but to get an Uber because the private hire firms don't have enough drivers and don't show up. And from speaking to the drivers it's because Uber is paying them way above market rates for their first year.
It's already $70. I'm ok paying for my tools (I have a policy of no-piracy at my company, which is really weird in my country – We've bought IntelliJ, Affinity, etc), but paying $70 for a text editor is just above my threshold. I took out my credit card and went to the website thinking I had bought my first license at $50, but when I saw it asked for $70, for a closed-source license, I didn't complete the purchase.

I donate 1% of my revenue to open-source, by the way.
>zero tolerence in schools, acceptable police aggression, war on drugs, expansion of post 911 power...

These all seem like things that were lobbied for by police unions rather than the people electing the representatives enacting these policies.
They went that way because of TypeScript I suppose. And in the end VSC is great marketing for successful open source JS/TS project.
Nice, I really like that Dribbble icon. The new official one is a generic ribbon that we see too much of.
Patreon has a rather large problem for poorer people. Patreon's insistance on taking the money on the 1st of the month is a pain because that is rent day for most people.

A service that allowed a person to select a day (e.g. 12th) or better yet pick a day the way a lot of people get paid (day after third Thursday of the month) would be preferred.

[edit] To give a concrete example. Suppose someone on Social Security wants to pay for their sites/shows/etc. SS pays on the third Wednesday of the month. This person, in order to avoid any bank charges or other foolishness, wants the payment to come the day after that. "Day after 3rd Wednesday of month" would be a good thing to allow.
Our brain is a computer. That fact may or may not offer useful insights on the properties of brains that we care about.

Likewise, our brains are engines, converting energy from one form to another, and hence governed by thermodynamics. Again, that fact may or may not be useful for investigating properties of the brain we care about.

Our brains are also matter, meat, networks, made of atoms, and squishy. These are all facts, they may or may not be useful.
I think using inmate labor for money should be illegal, but I'm not sure prison would be workable at all without the 13th amendment. What counts as "forced labor?" Does that include forcing inmates to clean up after themselves in their cells or in cafeterias? Note that e.g. the German constitution has a similar carve out for prisoners.

Communities have always been free to choose their members and morals. If I can kick someone out for being verbally abusive, why can't I do it for whatever the community agrees on?
As I've said before, I don't think any evidence you've presented is sufficient.

Issues "for many people" have previously included: Whether women should vote or not.

Was that an indicator of a serious issue, or should the answer have been obvious?
Byte by byte? Where does that come into it? I don't think there's much Production work on a Commodore 64 these days. You don't have to "worry" about anything. I/O is asynchronous, but your High-level Language doesn't know about that, it will appear synchronous. Meanwhile tons of other stuff is going on, and I can't really think of any of it that would be "byte by byte".
I spent months implementing an undocumented, custom, binary protocol to speak with an IRC bouncer.

And I still prefer doing that over writing a matrix client with HTTP and JSON.

Specifically because my solution works via throttled internet with dialup speeds, while matrix doesn’t.

I’m not saying Matrix is bad, Matrix has some awesome properties (especially regarding encryption). And maybe someday it can become awesome, once it gains a proper binary transport system, which is more efficient and keeps a single socket open. And maybe then, we can finally replace IRC, XMPP, etc. But until then, I’ll keep working on improving IRC.
It's not that the new MBP isn't "fine" - it's just that the gap with competitors has closed a lot. People asking me which laptop to buy used always be a very simple answer ("Buy a Macbook"). They were head and shoulders better than anything else. But it's down to mere inches now and the additional drawbacks which I won't go into here since as you rightly say they've been covered ad nauseum - are far more glaring now than they would have been a few years ago.
No. The idea that you could discern the difference between keys based on their relative volume due to their distance and angle from the recording device is complete nonsense. OP is living a fantasy and taking HN along for the rise.
@nnx Thank you for sharing this!

"Officers reportedly ignored his father, Tom, and his cousin telling them there was no hostage situation and that the so-called hostage taker was actually asleep."

Of course, it's hard to judge without knowing the whole situation, but this all (military) approach of "shooting first, ask questions later" is not suitable for a local police imho.
I'm interested in getting this, but am concerned that it is much less battle-tested than PRK. I'm currently leaning toward PRK since it is so tried-and-tested.
So, how can I launch a matrix client that has never been used before and chat, with only a dialup connection, in less than 4 seconds?

I can do that with IRC. I can do that with all IRC bouncers.

And it’s a daily use case for me, and many other users (mobile networks provide free 64kbps network in many places)

Isn't cmd.exe the Windows terminal emulator?
Some of those whales are the folks who sit at casinos spending their social security and eating cat food for the rest of the month. They're not all rich.
I'm currently recovering from a PRK surgery (Epi-Bowman Keratectomy specifically). I had the procedure last Thursday and for the first 2 days my eyes felt like they were on fire but then it suddenly stopped and now my eyesight is slowly improving (I can use a computer but I have trouble with focusing my sight on distant objects so driving a car is out of question for now). It's interesting how people are scared of laser eye surgeries but at the same time they don't mind using contact lenses that greatly increase risk of infections.
That's Apples problem. Hopefully Apple gets the message that consumers want actual pro laptops. What I'm suggesting is let's discuss something more important on HN at this point.
No. The idea that you could discern the difference between keys based on their relative volume due to their distance and angle from the recording device is complete nonsense. OP is living a fantasy and taking HN along for the ride.
You're right. Selling latency may be more reasonable. Certainly cheaper for a creator.

Useless bytes have a few properties however. You can do more silly things with them. People like to do something unreasonably silly from time to time.

You can treat useless bytes as virtual goods. You could serve: unicode code points, animal names, or even sentences from public domain books. Then people can explore the catalog and have a tiny bit more personalized experience, than just buying 40ms.

They can also serve as a manifest against ads, because they are honestly useless bytes with a safety hatch.
I guess there are many zoroastrians among HN readers.
No, it's not a prestigious publication or special as this article already was on HN previously, and discussions on how it's just meaningless non statically valid ratings from internal staff. Alas, many cling to any chance to sing the old song of Apple is doomed, it can't innovate, x wouldn't have happened if Steve was alive, how people are threatening to switch, etc. But with Apple's uncharacteristic Mac Pro announcement perhaps years of griping can eventually move the needle, so I suppose whatever works for people.
I didn't think of that, but that makes sense. I first saw the tattoo machine and was instantly turned off because it broke the minimalistic and utilitarian vibe of the rest of the collection. Also, I wouldn't trust myself or any of my friends to give me a tattoo... I'd rather go to a professional for that, the internet is already filled with bad tattoos.

What sort of thing would you accept as evidence for the claim "a particular social issue is being discussed seriously in a widespread manner"? Social systems are not science experiments, and your verbage doesn't seem to indicate any social study background.

What specific predicate would disqualify major media presenting the discussion as a serious social issue (and not a dismissive hit piece like vitamin C or bigfoot) as being a reliable indicator of the subject being discussed seriously in a widespread manner? Given that it's a serious discussion in a widespread manner.

I'm sure whether women should vote or not was seriously argued in the newspapers and such, many writings and essays poring the issue, and the subject being discussed in common discussion forums of the time.

Are RGP lenses less likely to cause this disease than normal soft lenses (daily or monthly)?
Introducing NATS to Go Developers
I'm not skeptical that this problem is correlated with wearing contact lenses, I'm skeptical that this problem is not correlated to wearing them correctly.

My point is: who is more likely to get an infection? The people that sterilize their cuts and scrapes, or the people that don't? Same thing here: for such a tiny subset of total contact wearers, it's unlikely that it has nothing to do with your lens hygiene. I doubt any one of the 125 AK sufferers in the UK were following recommended lens care/application to the letter. That does not seem unduly skeptical to me.
Well with respect, you brought it up ...
Didn't medium launch something like this recently?
It could be tied to Patreon. Reaching $1000 target cuts latency by X or serves Y less useless bytes.

* https://californiasunday.com - super interesting articles, beautiful design and photography

* https://inside.com/readthisthing - 1 interesting piece of journalism per day

* https://tedium.co - weird deep dives on random topics. This week was on adhesive licking stamps

* https://stratechery.com - high quality essays on tech

* https://nytimes.com/newsletters/morning-briefing - daily summary of news. NYT has it's biases but the daily briefing is useful for picking up on stories quickly and deciding what's worth reading more about.

Lastly, I have a small newsletter of my own where I send out a weekly-ish plaintext email with interesting articles, essays, and links that I've found. You can check it out at https://tinyletter.com/levthedev. I'd love feedback on the format/content.
I agree in the sense that I think "news" alone is rather worthless. You need an analysis, a context to make sense of it. Agenda and partisanship are not necessarily deal breakers IMO, as long as people are being forward and honest about it instead of faking "neutrality", whatever that is. You can be partisan while keeping your eyes open and your thinking critical instead of devolving into propaganda pamphlets. In a sense I believe that the idea of a completely fair and unbiased reporting is completely absurd.

For this reason I only subscribe to weekly or even monthly newspapers. It means those journalists are not racing to be the first ones to relay any information completely raw. Instead they can take a bit of distance, take time to analyze the situation and think of its possible consequences.

I don't know what to do when I'm told that there's been a terrorist attack in a country thousands of kilometers from me. Then we get a stream of picture, and a death count updated every femtosecond. It's sad, sure, but then what? Learning about the causes and consequences of this attack and how they fit in the history and geopolitics of our societies, now that's a lot more interesting and maybe even actionable.
Much better, more unique and somewhat memorable, says a little something about what it does instead of just communicating "orange S" like the last one.

I wonder how that delicate shadow holds up at small sizes and in monochrome.
I agree, especially for development.

If you want to do non-Microsoft development, your main choices are buy a Macbook or buy another laptop and put Linux on it.

Personally I still prefer macOS to any other desktop OS out there by a very long way. It makes my life so much easier and more productive.
I agree.

However, not everyone is convinced of such faults. There is still a considerable part of the current political movements that still believe that: a) neoliberal democracy is perfect, and any failure is only the fault of who has failed; or b) communism is the perfect solution, and the failures of USSR, Cuba, N. Korea, etc were only caused due to capitalist interference.

For these convictions, a well developed critique has its merit, for it at least can question such certainties and unblock the way towards thinking of a better solution.
Release or not release is just a name. You shouldn't let that be a factor. In my experience it is absolutely stable and as bug free as software can be.

However, I'm not sure how well maintained it is. I fear all the time that the author, jps, has quit, but then every few months he has a development sprint and releases a new version.

I'd rather have it permanently called "beta" but a minor update every month, than one version declared finished, with rare or no updates afterwards.

They are purpose build for door to door postal letter delivery, sturdiness and low maintenance. Top speed is quite irrelevant and electric motor assisted operation is how is compensated for the weight and terrain. They are legal on bike paths since they are throttled to 25km/h so they still classify as normal bikes.

Unrelated, they do manual powered boats too:

Prices per item can widely differ depending where you buy them from. I checked prices from Uniqlo and made some small guesses (in favor of LOT): 19.90 + 14.9 * 6 + 7.90 * 12 + 49.90 + 7.90/3 * 12 + 10 + 2 * 40 + 3 * 40 + 4 * 29.90 = 615.2$

I do have to say, they can make the margin a lot higher by giving lower quality clothes. But I have seen lower quality clothes for higher prices.

How do you personally differentiate between hit pieces and serious social issues?
What if you run a ToyBox userland then? Or BusyBox for that matter
What "virtualization magic" do you mean?

You mean taking a program which hasn't been recompiled since 1970 and running it (the 1970 executable) on hardware released in 2014 under an OS from 2015? Of course, it will work. There's no virtualization there, just reality. What 70's technology in particular are you thinking of? The latest Enterprise COBOL compiler is just over a year old.
The common thread is that robots look like people or animals. No one would call a CNC machine a 'robotic machinist' but an industrial robotic arm is still a robot because it is visually similar to a human arm.
How do you? Please let me determine your view on your lone wolf dismissiveness of socially accepted conditions. And I will continue to point out your dodging and hypocrisy, as you seem to be doubling down on it by not answering my questions and deflecting.

You know, this will eventually degenerate into me asking you in the exact same pointless way, "How do you personally differentiate if sexual harrassment has occurred?" as that's one of the major Uber issues. "How do you prove that your view of sexual harrassment is socially accepted?"
Instead of writing blog posts as a vital sign, maybe it would help to offer some regularly updated pre-defined "bundles" of ST together with package sets for a certain audience (JS/TS/Python developer, etc.). Many packages have a higher update frequency, so even when there is no new ST build it would make sense to also update such bundles on a more regular basis (I know packages are updated automatically -- but this would give a better impression regarding the activity and the size of the ST community for new users).

I imagine the introduction of something like "Sublime Text distros" in package control, which would provide ST users something akin to the different Eclipse flavors (or the various .vimrc settings available online) could be quite useful. While the package control setup is already pretty straightforward, it is still rather confusing for new users that they have to manually install such a 'basic' feature (and Atom, for example, is much more polished in that regard).
I can't work out why nobody does HTTP 402 to pay for the content on a site.

Then use the Quassel IRC bouncer, with clients. Web client? https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver Session persistence? That’s the entire purpose of it. Search? https://dl.kuschku.de/videos/2016-09-16_04-03-36.mp4 Emojis? Check.

> So for that, there's obviously going to be more complexity compared to IRC. And IRC feels so hacked on when fit it with the modern features one wants today.

That’s why IRCv3 is a thing, slowly replacing the hacks with proper specs. No more NickServ, but instead SASL and account-notify. No more guessing where some batch of messages ends, but a batch message type.

> It's riddled with […] chromium based applications.

So is Matrix.

I’m not saying Matrix is bad, Matrix has some awesome properties (especially regarding encryption). And maybe someday it can become awesome, once it gains a proper binary transport system, which is more efficient and keeps a single socket open. And maybe then, we can finally replace IRC, XMPP, etc.

But until then, I’ll keep working on improving IRC.
