I used it years ago and as a machine-based software I'd likely agree. I seem to remember trying to load it again and seeing it wasn't freeware, or had a 30 day trial. Might be a distorted recollection, but I was looking quite intensely before selecting Story Writer. Even like Word .dot files for formatting. Nice to see competition in the space, IMO.
I just got a giant warning popup from Parallels (virtualization software) on MacOS that I need to update Parallels before upgrading any Windows guest OSs to Windows 10 Creator's Update. The update claims to fix an issue where Windows won't boot after updating. So, maybe one would want to block the update for reasons such as this? Not sure...it was easy enough for me to stop and update Parallels first, but maybe others have reasons for not doing so.
Oh right that makes sense.

> it is as impossible to determine whether two lawful sequences are equal as it is to determine whether two lawless sequences are

I also think that's enough.

I think when you mention that it's easier to build a mechanistic theorem prover on an intuitionistic foundation that it's a bit more "foundational" a problem than it seems. Theorem provers need (some kind of partial) equality on propositions and on proofs in order to function, but propositions are too rich to support finite equality. This backs you into a more intuitionistic approach.
Quite the opposite, they wanted to prevent vendor lock-in, so they pushed for standards like service workers and NaCL that eliminate the need for Chrome Apps.

Thanks for commenting and responding.

Can you say a little more about how you hope to ensure it becomes successful? I mean, what can Stripe do to help the site?

You might spend some money on it, but that might have been done more cheaply without acquiring it. Do you plan to add some sort of features? advertise it broadly?
Great example of a headline that captures something really interesting about the story without lying or misleading readers.
Fair enough. It just seems that here people too often advocate for _never_ eating chocolate.

>No, passion and money usually aligned. That's the whole undernote of any startup pitch.

I would beg to differ. The aligned ones are the exceptions.

Unless your passion is to make money, that is.

The whole point is that if your passion is something other than to get rich, you are more inclined than the average person to take lower pay to pursue your passions.

"Wow, it's awesome employer X is willing to pay me to do passion Y. I never thought I could make a living doing this!"

"Those who use their skills to do boring work (code/CAD monkey) to make more money are sellouts!"

Most startups are in it for the money. As pg himself wrote: It's not at all unusual in the early phases for a startup to completely change direction because they didn't find a market for their "passion". The goal is to get rich, not to solve business problem Z.

>Without a proper incentive mechanism, no innovation can be done optimally.

I agree with the caveat that the incentive need not be "get rich". Making a lot of money often lowers innovation by constraining it.
Of course. Electron is just a layer around the chrome compiled engined as well. If you want anything to display a matrix of pixels changing rapidly, you need low level performances eventually.

Speaking as a random HN user (but I suspect I am not alone in this opinion), I rather dislike HN's approach to anti-vote-manipulation, and so I don't see the message as disappointing.

(If anything, vote manipulation / growth hacking is perfectly within the HN mindset: there's this entrenched organization that controls access for no other reason than that they got entrenched, and people are finding innovative technical means to get past the policies.)

>people who have neglected to renew copyrights //

Renewal, indeed registration, is largely a USA thing since the Berne Convention (adopted nearly everywhere before USA signed in 1988) did away with the need for registration in the 19th Century.

Worth bearing in mind, the USA as with "English" measurement is a good step out of line with the practice in the rest of the world. Any argument based on someone not registering is going to need completely rethinking outside USA.

They were deprecated because they aren't really necessary anymore now that you have things like service workers and NaCL. Never worked on mobile, too.

Progressive Web Apps is where it's at.
For patents you have companies fighting on the other side to limit them, so they can use the technology eventually.

For copyrights there is no resistance with deep pockets.
Possibly, though it's often more complex than that. For example, the Gautama Buddha was born into the aristocracy, but renounced his social station[1].

Ask HN: Uber wont answer my tickets and my account is hacked and being used
Hello,

Someone keeps using my Uber account. I cannot do anything about it. And Uber isnt answering my support tickets.

I am wondering if you have any advice on how to handle this situation. I got a message from Uber on both my phone and my mail that my Uber account email and phonenumber had been changed.

I cannot reset my password (email not recognized) and i cannot try to log in/register again (email already in use).

I created a ticket more than 24 hours ago with Uber but no response yet. I have created in total 4 tickets since this incident.

Anyone been in a similar incident?

It reminds me a fun fact, which I noticed when writing a TTF font parser https://github.com/photopea/Typr.js

TTF files have a 4-byte field, where the font manufacturer can put "information about himself" (like the identification). The Adobe company puts an ASCII string "ADBE" into these four bytes.

There is another field for the font manufacturer, which has only two bytes. Guess what Adobe puts into these two bytes? 0xadbe :D

That could just be a matter of attempts at a crackdown failing spectacularly. Reddit mods have been pretty aggressive in trying to prune United stories, without actually blocking or removing them. It can be enough, in other words, just to increase the friction in the system, not to eliminate bad press, but reduce its volume and persistence.
I've seen it, but it's nothing like even Quasseldroid. And quasseldroid is already a horrible codebase (mostly because I took over maintenance when I knew nothing about code quality).

Yet even Quasseldroid manages to be better.

That said, there is truly a need for a really good, FLOSS irc client ob mobile.
Different people have vastly different use cases. I haven't experienced a performance issue with desktop Slack or any other (non-game) application for many years. Sure, if I look at how much RAM Slack is using I'd probably conclude that it's more than it needs to be, but I haven't had an issue with RAM usage for, gee, probably ten years.

As for battery, again, my laptop battery has been little more than a UPS for at least five years.

I do, and this is one of the reasons I've never bothered with all of the details and shortcuts that you like.

Vim attempts to make the best possible text editor. It doesn't let "OS conventions" dictate what makes good text editing experience. What you get from apps staying to strict OS guidelines is a bunch of average -- not terrible but not inspiring -- applications.

I used IRC a lot as a teen back in the late 80s early-to-mid 90s. This was back when to make a private channel you would have to join a channel that was a negative number and hope nobody else wandered in on a guess (which was unlikely to happen since the number of users was literally under 200 at peak times). Pre-Eris, Pre-EFNet, etc.

Despite the nostalgic kick of it, I never used it as a serious work tool at any of my jobs, haven't used IRC at all in probably a decade, and totally agree that options like Slack are just plain better work communication tools.
Chrome Apps aren't different from tabs, though.

If we stick water vapour and co2 above the weather layer in the atmosphere, it will act like a pane of glass in a greenhouse? Right? You can't rain anything down from 35000ft can you?

Look at the warming graphs/animations, most warming happens in the northern hemisphere (where most planes fly), since about 1970, which is when air travel became popular accross the northern hemisphere.

Call me crazy (I know it's dangerous to make assertions without 150% of the facts) but that seems to me like an obvious thing that would affect warming. Please don't reply with some fact based rebuttal - hasn't helped so far.
Cost of programming is going down, with all the new game engines... It's definitely becoming easier and most work is becoming gluing things together. Plus you can literally flip switch to enable graphical features..
That's a false dichotomy. There is no reason to believe that we can't have modern technology without catastrophic climate change. If for example we switched completely to nuclear energy and electric cars we would greatly reduce our carbon footprint to the point where the rest might be offset by planting trees and turning them into charcoal.

Incredibly comprehensive article. Thanks for sharing.

First thing that jumps out at me, though: in the photos at the top, the UPS is on the floor.

Get that UPS off the floor! When your house suffers minor flooding (burst pipe, overflowing toilet, leaky roof, etc), it will be sitting in it. You think it won't happen--but then it does, and if your electronics on the floor don't get damaged, you're lucky.

I've heard the feeling expressed by many Brexit supporters that their concerns about migration have nothing to do with immigration or foreigners per se, but more with the pace of change due to mass uncontrolled migration. Also I don't recognise the image you portray of the UK being 'the country that calls foreigners scum'. This might be what the vested interests including the media would have you believe, or what you might choose to believe if you are pro-EU, but I suspect the portrayal of Brexit supporters as arrogant racists is a little one-dimensional and doesn't have a strong basis in reality.
It's great to see 3D printing winning on cost, because this is normally a great reason to adopt a new technology. Norsk's RPD process looks to be built for high speed and low cost (plasma torch, argon gas, titanium wire).

I think processes like RPD, Sciaky's EBAM, and Arcam's EBM are generally going to win on price compared to traditional laser sintering like EOS DMLS in the long term, especially for big parts. They replace expensive metal powder with cheaper powder (EBM) or wire (EBAM, RPD), and expensive fiber lasers with more powerful and cheaper electron beams or plasma torches.

It's hard to get fast large-scale metal deposition with a laser: the EOS M400-4 seems one of the highest power laser based solution with 4x 400W fiber lasers (Concept Laser has a 2x 1 kW model). Sounds fancy until you realize that's about as much power as a nice microwave. For comparison, Hypertherm sells 80 kW plasma torches, and Skiaky sells 42 kW electron beam welding systems.

Cooling the parts being printed is a big problem since printing a big glowing puddle isn't very useful, but increasing build volume / part size helps drop the power density.
So they should not call themselves engineers - any more than they call themselves doctors or lawyers. They are programmers or software developers. Or potentially software engineers - but certainly not engineers.

Empathy is a trade-off, like most things:

- If you hold too much empathy for those who would destroy society, society will weaken.

- If you hold too little empathy for those who would support society, society will weaken.

Farmers don't tend to have much empathy for invasive weeds or pests growing in their crops. I believe Ayn Rand saw communists in a similar light.

Of course, that is all based on the presumption that society should continue in the first place. Feel free to replace "society" with "your family," or "your company."

yes, precisely. that is a pragmatic attitude that ought to be sufficient to prevent heartbreak and career dislocation. however, it is clear that many people are not so pragmatic and act with greater naivety and do get exploited by taking a job as an employee in something they have enthusiasm for, and conflating that with their passion, inevitably leading to a poor outcome for them.

"in the spirit of IRC" is a bit of a stretch. This is all a massive blob of web technologies which contrasts IRC's minimalism and it's lightweight clients written in C. It doesn't appear to require any specific service though so at least it has that.
I don't have to drop (as much of) my mental state in order to communicate via chat. It's asynchronous, so I can finish typing out whatever I'm thinking about, or looking for whatever I'm trying to find, kick off a build, etc., and then turn my attention to the chat window and bang out whatever comes next in the conversation. Once written, I can switch right back to whatever I was doing - I type quickly, so it's usually only a few seconds of interruption. I can easily carry on a couple of extended chat conversations while simultaneously continuing to get my actual work done.

If someone wants to talk in person or via voice instead, my heart always sinks a little, because it means I have to drop whatever I was doing and give the conversation my full attention instead. Once we're done, I have to try to remember what I was thinking about before the distraction happened, get myself back up to speed...

This doesn't come up so frequently anymore, but it was very noticeable when I used to work remote. Some coworkers were happy with chat, and it was easy to communicate with them; with others, it'd be like twenty seconds of productive conversation, then "can we please just have a call about this" and, oh god, that's it for getting anything done for the next 40 minutes.

IH is a refreshing flip side to the VC/YC narrative that's become canonical in the startup world! As againsit VC valuations, and pressure of growth at all costs (mostly profitability), IH companies prioritize organic, sustainable growth without loss of founder control. Many of them end up financially successful, which is inspiring to aspiring entrepreneurs.

Well done Courtland Allen! Without IH, this flip-side view of startups wouldn't have a platform.
The main thing we can do is free up Courtland to spend more time on it rather than having him sell ads. We're also going to invest in it so that his brother, Channing, can join him. On top of that, we expect that there'll be some Stripe users who'd benefit from discovering it earlier in their lifecycle and getting advice and feedback from other community members. Most people building a business on Stripe are doing it for the first time.

Longer term, there's a lot that we're interested in adding. (The site isn't even a year old yet -- check out https://indiehackers.com/timeline. There was no forum or podcast in the beginning.) But we're flexible on the details there and we'll experiment and adapt based on what we learn along the way.
That's a really unexpected announcement, but congratulations! Hope this changes the site for the better, not the worse.
Agreed. I went with a 1700, and clocked it the same as an 1800X, saved $170 for effectively the same performance. The thing is a beast, for really cheap.
You're saying they're nothing like each other but are providing no examples. Besides one being an app and one being a website, what are the differences? Neither quasseldroid or Lounge have push notifications or searchable messages yet, so they seem to be pretty identical feature-wise.

EDIT: and we aren't talking about code-base, are we? If so, Lounge's is pretty solid (although it is in a pretty constant state of transition from ES5 -> ES6)

You can use type hints with Python 2 in the form of special comments (http://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python2.html#type-check...). Guido has been working on the type hint project for dropbox specifically to help them to migrate 2.7 code to 3.

But let's be fair, type related tooling in Python are not close to the ones you have in Java yet. It's just that eventually, everything comes around. Java got faster. C++ easier. Python ...toolier ? Etc.

If you want to place binary data in CouchDB that's entirely possible. However, you have to create a document and then add an attachment to it. Attachments themselves can have multiple revisions.

When PUTing[1] the attachment the appropriate Content-Type header is required to be set. If both of these things are done properly I see no obvious reason as to why they'd run into the encoding issue mentioned. Which makes me suspect it's not properly using the attachment feature or not correctly setting the MIME type.

Or they're doing something weird when grabbing the binary data from the user, like not using FileReader.readAsArrayBuffer()[2] from their JS code and instead getting it as text. readAsArrayBuffer is specifically designed to deal with binary data, usually used with images in web context.
