It's not that common and it wouldn't make it any less of a travesty. It's like taxing all furniture on the off chance you'll use it to store your vinyl records. And like with furniture an increasing majority of your media is used to store your own content (e.g., the video of your kid from your brand new 4K camera) so this isn't even directionally correct.

On linux you can force enable ECC on an unsupported motherboard with

Most motherboards have the extra memory traces in place even if they don't enable ECC.
Do they really need to combat airbnb? I travel a lot (relatively), but I can't get the idea of this service. It's a bit cheaper, but a) I can't cancel it b) I can't book it without interaction with a host c) I can't move in without interaction with a host d) it ends up even more expensive after cleaning/service/whatever fees.

I've just checked [1]: NYC, a shitty "private" room with shared bathroom for a weekday is $150, with crazy "strict" cancelation policy, that literally says "Cancel up to 7 days before your trip and get a 50% refund plus service fees back."

What's the point and why is airbnb still alive?

> Your opinion piece is fine until your last line where you support using the state to ban other people from making the choice that you prefer not to make.

What's wrong with that? Virtually every regulatory law does this. Unless you are arguing that the state should not be able to regulate anything, I don't see why supporting regulations in one industry or another is a bad thing.
So marriott finds many guests order pizza delivery. They create new uniforms, new name, hats and a separate number for pizza delivery. (Could not find article but ~15-20,it's old ) It goes directly into their kitchen where they make the pizza.

Why can't hotels do the same. Make it look like an ABB. ???
How about this: I hope the hotels successfully lobby to enforce existing zoning laws. I don't want my neighbors running a business out of their house. If they break the law, punish them. Simple as that.

Nobody wants politicians to decide what we can and cannot do with our money. What we want is a free market with a check on human greed. For example, do I think all people deserve cheap energy, personal transportation, and inexpensive plastic products? Yes. Do I think they deserve them at the expense of millions of peoples lives/livelihoods? No. Therefore, I believe there should be regulation in the "free market".

You're looking at a GitHub repo that accepts PRs...
I did not get the feeling that the original authors were trying to promote their existing systems over Jigsaw. My impression was more the were trying to run their existing systems on top of Jigsaw and were frustrated that they couldn't get their existing use cases to run on Jigsaw due to missing features.

For example to the best of my knowledge JBoss does not promote JBoss Module for anything other than the implementation of WildFly / JBoss EAP. Users of WildFly / JBoss EAP should only need to know about JBoss Module when they want to extend WildFly / JBoss EAP or access or hide internals of WildFly / JBoss EAP. Normal applications should have no need for this. Also JBoss discontinued OSGi a long time ago, they created JBoss Modules because they were unhappy with OSGi.

I do not agree with Mike Hearn on the altruistic motives of Oracle. Jigsaw seems to be entirely driven by Oracles vision for the JDK and everybody else second. Which is fine as long as we're talking about a module system for the JDK but suboptimal when we're taking about a module system for applications. Many of the design constraints in Jigsaw are only presents because of requirements for the JDK.

Jigsaw seems to be entirely driven by Oracles JDK team with input of other teams (WebLogic, GlassFish, ...) ignored. To be honest I do not see how Oracle can deliver on a modular Java EE 9 in the time frame they have communicated (two years).

To give you an example for what I perceive as NIH-syndrome from the Oracle side people have been trying for years to tell Oracle how Spring works and trying to get an answer from Oracle how they expect it to work in Jigsaw. The issues here are really basic and apply to many other frameworks as well, namely runtime class generation and frameworks reflecting on user code. The current state is to get Spring to run on Jigsaw either a JVM option or Unsafe is required. Any framework doing runtime class generation is having to do this. If anything Jigsaw is causing a proliferation of Unsafe.

Oracle keeps changing fundamentals of Jigsaw while it has supposedly been "feature complete" for months.

Mike Hearn also seems to confuse AOT and jlink.
With innovation and more pricing options that would ultimately result in better overall experience and more viable choices for everyone? You're insane.
I like this, this could be useful. The easier it is to access this kind of information the better.
> And No, I dont want to read hundreds of reviews before I make my decision. I am back to hotel stays. I hope their lobbying finds success.

The great thing about the free market is you get the choice. You don't have to pass a law to force everybody to also do as you choose.

There are definitely problems with some AirBNBs. Renting out an apartment as if it was a hotel room should not be allowed. However. that should be a contract issue between tenant/landlord or owner/HOA, and also a local zoning issue.

That said, there are also times that AirBNBs are very worthwhile. I've stayed in homes in the desert, far away from anything else. I've stayed in non-touristy neighborhoods in Venice, Stockholm, and Havana, that let me get away from the common areas and see local life.

Hotels definitely have its pros and cons, as do AirBNBs, but there should not be federal regulation outright banning it.

Ubuntu still needs to make money and serve some kind of audience. They have a philosophy and goals as an organization. Writing software that no one will ever use does not serve their organization. If a feature is just going to go to a black hole it is a waste of their time.

There is no real problem for the community, but there is a problem for Ubuntu. Also, I think you could argue that there are, effectively, gatekeepers for the most important projects (Linus/Linux, etc.).

Totally agree about the privacy concerns of Windows 10. I would even say with Sierra I have definite privacy concerns for macOS. The direction is more and more in the walled garden direction for macOS and I do not like it one bit. I ditched Apple/Win for a Linux system even though it meant several weekends of tweaking to get a Linux laptop correct.

An amusing anecdote regarding that, I think a lot of the time cost is just knowing which things work well on Linux. Things are not always "seamless" on Windows or macOS and once you know how to configure a Linux software stack into a productive desktop environment it doesn't cost you that much more than any other OS.

Thing is, most folks make an effort to migrate over and conflate two separate things of learning the hardware and the actually dysfunctional Linux desktop things with finding software that is similar to what they are using on macOS.
Do you have any pointers to the recommended Right Way to do modern PHP? I'd be interested to explore it; I have a number of places where I want to add tiny bits of interactivity to otherwise static web pages, and this totally seems to be what PHP does best.

Hi Jon! Great to see you here. Much of what I wrote is speculative, especially paren matching based on monoids. What actually went into xi editor is much more conservative. I didn't actually intend this to be posted to HN, but am not too surprised it did.

As to being a young person, I don't know if you remember, but I was already of drinking age when you and me and Adam Sah hung out a bit and talked about the "rush" language.

I admit to being excited, but because I think "modern" editors really are too bloated and slow and it causes a thousand paper cuts throughout the day, and I think that can be fixed.
Before I even opened the article I knew it was going to be a legislative rather than customer-focused approach.

God forbid hotels recognize their inherent strengths and AirBnB's weaknesses and cater their services/marketing to that end.

Can someone explain to me why Japan has an agriculture industry to begin with (though I assume the answer is WW2)? They have an incredibly high population density and are an incredibly small country -- why on earth would you want to waste land on farming? And more importantly, why would you be protectionist about that industry when it will be responsible for land shortages? Import economies are not a bad thing. In fact they are the reason the export economies can work at all.

Fair point. That's also a local concern (and more legitimate). Although I need to remind people that in a democracy, its about the number of people who think a certain thought... not the legitimacy of those thoughts that count.
Not really. All of the tech people like to talk about how easy trucking is because of the distance aspect. That's like saying pilots are obsolete because autopilot does 95% of the work. "The work" is actually the 5%.

Cabs need to drop you to a 50 meter circle adjacent to a street address. Trucks need to land at a specific dock at a specific warehouse at a specific time. Some warehouses are highly optimized and organized. Others are a total shitshow... Amazon warehouses for example often have trucks queued up for hours due to staff shortages or general incompetence at the docks.

So the business case for the automated truck is to take a trailer from X to Y, and be capable of taking direction from a $10/hr temp who can't find his ass with both hands. Or... you need to deliver the trailer to some staging area, and pay drivers to figure out that mess. Or some other solution. In any case, the "getting on the interstate" part is the most trivial problem to solve.
Or just try something outside of tech completely. You have time to explore. Yeah you'll likely end up with more money having worked at a big firm your whole life, several of my peers are more advanced in their careers than I am now, but it's not like you end up in the poor house either. I spent five years away from tech, seven in a startup, three freelancing from home before finally going back to big corp, and no regrets.
> If you have a happy life won't you be pissed/scared at the idea of death?

Why? Because it is the normal thing to do? Is it expected of you to be afraid of death? Is the natural inclination to be afraid of just thinking about dying?

I am "fearful" of death in the sense that if something is likely to cause my death in the present moment, I will act towards self-preservation.

But the idea of death, that just thinking of one's demise would cause one anguish is a sign one hasn't calibrated his priorities correctly. Pragmatically speaking, there are so many things to think about (and even moreso to do), so why would anyone focus on something that they cannot ever change? Besides their own self-imposed torture in the name "philosophy."

This will come off as snarky, but I recommend you find some more things to fill your time.

The situation with the Amiga emulation was more related to compatibility issues. When I tested about 100 images, only about 15 worked properly. This was related to configuration issues, but also due to the use of the free Aros ROMs. Most software resulted in s Guru Meditation error. At the moment, the real kickstart ROMs are distributed/licensed by Cloanto and not available for online distribution. But ad mentioned, it likely wasn't a legal issue why they took it offline... It wasn't mature enough.
That's... a surprisingly (and refreshingly) pragmatic way to deal with that percieved problem

Unfortunately, it usually results in collecting money based on people buying recordable media, regardless of what material they're going to record on that media, and redirecting that money to large, high-profile content providers, also regardless of whose material was actually recorded. In short, smaller content providers and the citizens who are enjoying that content (or using the recordable media for other purposes entirely) are being systematically ripped off.
It's not a con. I am hijacking the phrase. What I meant was that it's something that takes a long time to payoff.

The Generalized f-Mean
Capitalism != Anarchy. Free markets still require laws addressing theft, property ownership, contract law, etc. Protectionism, however, simply rewards first comers. Disruption is the crux of a free market and should be embraced not lobbied against. Services that people dislike the most due to cost or service rendered (airlines, health insurance, telecom providers) are often the most regulated.
Windows NT had full blitting of windows while moving them instead of xored wireframe - it was the single easiest way of distinguishing between it and Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. That was in 93/94 - I don't know how it compared with Be of that era, but Wikipedia says the first developer release wasn't until late 95.
The problem is, people still inexplicably think that they are delegating this representation to people who actually care or who are bound by some type of moral code which mandates acting in the person's best interests.

How has this basic falsehood persisted for so long and in the face of such damning evidence to the contrary?
Most languages let you cut corners and code in a sloppy way. This is not limited to PHP.

I think anyone can show anecdotes to support "coding in [language you don't like] is bad".

Replace "unsafe" with "non-performant" and go back to early Rails days and you'll have plenty of examples where naive framework implementation led to programmers shooting themselves in the foot with the "easy way" in a different context..

Like I said, all languages and frameworks have their caveats and learning to code properly is the developer's job, and the "right way" or "best way" is often a work in progress that evolves as the community develops best practices..

And I'm pointing out that treating PHP as a framework is not a "flaw in argumentation". The default installation of PHP gives you a setup that parses HTTP requests and returns HTTP responses, and provides a bunch of web-centric functionality in between. ie. it's a web framework, albeit not a very good one.

Hotels have lots of advantages. Often better location: downtown. A 24-hour desk. You can ask for info. Get deliveries. They can give you extra soap if you run out... without emailing some guy. Ask them to get you a taxi (yes I know about Uber), etc.
I agree, and I think we're on the brink of a real revolution in decentralising the internet once more. Many people are working on this problem, from masotodon to the bitcoin economy to ethereum, I2P/TOR and so on. I think what we really need is a "browser" equivalent that talks P2P - the internet would have never taken off if not for the web, and many of the companies working on decentralisation now are either talking "web" or providing infrastructure/protocols that no-one really talks yet.

Even the fact that journalism is getting dominated by citizen journalism speaks to this, imo. We just need to free citizen journalism from the shackles of twitter.
Titus Brown also a blog post on this earlier this year "The top 10 reasons why blog posts are better than scientific papers" http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/2017-top-ten-reasons-blog-posts.... and it generated similar discussion.

There are a few elements they emphasize.

One is what the blog format enables that traditional publishing doesn't support. Those are things like having real-time feedback and comments, being able to version and making the blog post interactive, rather than a static document. Another element to the format is a lack of gatekeepers, so it can be quickly disseminated and disseminated by anyone, so there aren't barriers to participation in the scientific discourse.

Another is norms and expectations. In blogging, it is more the norm that data and code are open. Open is still possible in traditional publishing; it just isn't yet the norm. A new format however, enables new norms and it's easier to set them from the start, than try to revise existing ones.

Finally, there's the element of 'correctness'. Going through peer review and being in a traditional journal certainly doesn't ensure that the paper is correct. You can just look at retractions to see that http://retractionwatch.com/2011/08/11/is-it-time-for-a-retra.... However it would be interesting to see more evidence around whether the blog format does ultimately lead to more 'correct' conclusions, on the whole, and not just for the posts that lead to a lot of discussion.

In a way, I think social networks as currently designed as a mistake since it requires a centralized authority to share the content and verify our identities. Compare that to hosting your own content on a VPS where you're in charge of what you do and share on it. The problem comes from how do you connect people to together? How do you build a social search that links people based on what they share? In a way, I've always hoped Google would've been the one to get clued in and realize that they didn't need to make a social network but a social search index which would connect people based on that active sharing on websites. Obviously, there's no money to be had in such a search index so I have to wonder if it has to be something done on a voluntary basis like Debian or any other FOSS project.
This Woman Knows How to Take Your Money
> Nobody wants politicians to decide what we can and cannot do with our money.

This seems like an essentially true statement, but a substantial majority of evidence points to the contrary.
I've seen (from both sides) two things that seem to work.

Firstly, write actual code to solve a simple but real, or at least realistic, problem. That could be a take-home exercise, or it could be on-site pair programming, or some other format. Memorable examples: a stock exchange (submit orders, get trades); a Tetris engine (submit blocks, get rows filled); an auction house (submit bids, get winners); an uploader for the Azure blobstore (submit blocks, get files); an online metric summarizer (submit samples, get summaries). This tests someone's ability to actually write code.

Secondly, suggest an algorithm for a real, or realistic, problem that doesn't have a well-known good solution. Memorable examples: subset-sum, but on an ordered set, where the solution must be contiguous; placing primers for PCR [1]; online k-anonymisation [2]. This tests someone's ability to think on their feet, and synthesize facts they've learnt into something new.

I'm a bit dubious about the "tell me about something you worked on" question. Firstly, because it requires the candidate to have worked on something chewy, and there are lots of capable people out there who are unfortunate enough to have had crummy jobs where they don't get to do that. Secondly, because it attempts to evaluate the judgement of an individual by looking at the work of a team. Too often, as a candidate, i've had to answer "why did you do it that way?" with "because the client specifically asked for it" or "because my colleagues who were working on it at the time decided so", which isn't useful for me or the interviewer.
