I wonder how much this has to do with peoples common initial exposure to bad seafood. Good fish doesn't smell fishy and most the fish you get at a supermarket has a strong fishy smell/flavor. You shouldn't be able to smell the fish until you put it up to your nose.
As larger proportions of the infosec community get hired or contracted by law enforcement, intelligence, and other government agencies, you'll find that the respect for liberty that the hacker manifesto espoused is increasingly hard to find.

Neat. Reminds me of Star Guitar's music video, which I assume was just done by hand in After Effects or something.

Since a lot of people are thinking about this: Is there a good way to compose SQL?

I see a bunch of repeated items in many SQL queries, things that would be functions in another language.

One of my colleagues pointed out that this is indicative of poorly formed queries. What do you all think?

That's exactly the one I read! Thanks Jenya! So, not only was I right they could make Intel-grade chips: they've been doing it at Intel since 2004. Haha. There should be some more in Russia, though, that could support a larger team of hardware people. They could also try to lure the best ones back or get some from IBM's POWER team.
The fact that the second revision of the watch is actually bigger than the first makes this all quite surprising.
They've paid shareholders close to $100B and will pay more. But their hands are tied on most of the money until congress passes a tax holiday.
True... But I'd say IBM is the exception to the rule.
american chinese food is still quite similar to cantonese food.

at least, much more similar to cantonese food than it is to northern chinese food, which in my (cantonese heritage) opinion look more like korean, given its extreme use of sour preserved vegetables and grains.
Set this up earlier for github and a few servers. It's very convenient, and I like having the kr commands for adding the public key to whereever. As others commented, the licensing is important to get worked out
I'm highly skeptical that no matter how successful the logistics could have been, that I could ever describe anything involving Blink 182 as a "dope experience".
You are a hero. Thank you.
Not wanting your users to have an "experience" that matches their OS IMHO is bad design.

Buy the rumour, sell the news
I believe that I'm in my right to buy drugs. If I were a vendor I would be proud of my job, and I would take any jail time as if it were for homosexuality in the 40s.

People ruin their lifes, some using drugs. It's true that drugs, like alcohol, may be an existential risk to the life and potential of a small quantity of people. So are casinos, fast food, extreme sports, or videogames.
AAPL just fell to where it was early yesterday. People bought it hoping for blowout numbers and stock going crazy and then sell off when it doesn't happen.
Yeah I like it. That sounds like a relatively easy thing to implement, which could "fix" having your phone's default alarm sound instead of the song of the day.
What does ML, initially developed for theorem proving, have to do with Lisp?
That's another condition I'd probably not call a "minor nuicance".
except that it comes from China, with chinese Windows installed and good luck with the warranty. No thanks.
The whole Windows, AD, O365 etc. experience is a PITA. I know there are all sorts of technological legacy and legacy business reasons for that, but let's face it: in the current form, the Windows model can't compare to something integrated like a Chromebook. It's not about who is 'better' or technically more capable, it's about what works for users, and Windows isn't it. Most of the time it is just what 'happens to be there'. That seems to be forgotten quite often.

I do wonder when some form of revised windows will come along that does away with 16-bit/32-bit legacy stuff, removes all the ancient API's and just focuses on the here and now. Breaking hard is of course not really Microsoft's way, as they make far more money by keeping legacy and tradition around, touting 'business support'.
Is the XPS 15 good? I went on Amazon to buy one, but the reviews are 50% 1-star, and I got scared.
Also from Europe, I was always surprised by the quality of the meat in the US.
Ehh... the actual "make a container out of this chunk of the filesystem" bit can be done in a couple hundred lines of Ruby/Python/Perl - Docker is, of course, just telling the kernel to create new uid/filesystem/network/etc namespaces and what to put in them. Most of Docker is the image management system and build tool.
Regarding #5, Whatsapp ought to have one of the most impressive employee:user rates ever.
This doesn't seem logical at all. Big chains usually have the lowest price, because they can enforce unfair deals on logistics and producers. Most things you buy cheaper from the super market than from the factory. Why should it be different with vegetables? It's not like the garden is next to the Chinatown shop.

Also Chinese people are not known for their empathy. They are usually fighters. If they run more efficient than another shop/chain they just conquer them. That they stay that small means they can't beat the big chains.

It sort of depends what we mean by liberal. Very few Socialists would be arguing to have the population woken up by the commissar in the morning to commence their 9 hour working day, in return receiving labour vouchers which guarantee a position in a lottery for the confiscated possessions of the bourgeoisie.

An extreme example maybe, but nevertheless I doubt you'll find many Socialists, today at least, talking about forced labour. It would be extremely hypocritical of them, considering the fact of forced labour within capitalism.

All forms of Socialism rest upon the communal ownership of the means of production, and the gradual removal of power from the state, in the direction of Communism (though let's be sure as Marx said in German Ideology, Communism is not a state of affairs to be established). This relies upon some kind of confiscation of private property.

What divides the 'liberal' Socialism from regular old Marx and Engels's Socialism, I'm not sure. Though if I must I shall paint myself as a a liberal Socialist. That doesn't mean I want capitalism with health care.

There might be a correlation between effective workers and large companies. A person who is willing to memorize "Cracking the Coding Interview" is the type of person who has his or her life on guided rails and would prefer the upper middle class of a large company rather than the scrappiness of a smaller company which results in poor/rich. Chinese culture especially has a long history of exam guided lives dating to ancient dynasties. Stereotypical desired professions like lawyers and doctors are also very credential-gated and similar.

So small companies are left with a much smaller pool of candidates, often less credentialed and much stronger willed. They cannot grow a workforce of highly credentialed/technical workers who do what they are told.

Are there mavericks who are also very technical out of passion rather than trying to oull their families out of poverty? Yes. But they usually aren't willing to play second fiddle.
Same. I think people are starting to figure out what it is and that it's not just a toy for geeks.

I definitely see it much more on women than men.
From the article I think that's backward. AMD's RDTSC is a constant-rate cycle counter and APERF counts actual cycles. So with clock boosting from XFR, etc, APERF will increase while RDTSC will not.
I'm not convinced this is really a problem.

The two websites I read most are Hacker News and Reddit. My terminal font size is 11pt and my code editor font size is 10pt. Most macOS interface text looks like it's either 11pt or 13pt.

I have a retina MacBook Pro and I set the display setting to "More Space" (look like 1920x1200). Sometimes I might switch to "Default" (looks like 1440x900) for a while, e.g. when watching TV. But if I wanna do anything serious I need the screen space.

I've been using Safari as my primary browser recently, and it has a Reader mode, which I use when documents have hard to read colors or poor typography.
Apple took the macbooks up by $200 for little reason. There was an article just a week ago that the surface book line was not doing well.

The obvious reason is because they are overpriced. And now they have made it even worse. This does not make much sense. Hopefully manufacturers like Asus can step up with even better quality Zenbooks and do not join this 'premium' binge.

It seems the 'premium manufacturers' see this as a non-elastic market and want to take the prices to around $2000. But is there enough differentiation in laptops beyond the screen and build quality to justify that premium. Everything else is off the shelf components and these dual core chips just don't seem to be worth this kind of money.

Even 'premium' phones are becoming dramatically more expensive with every refresh that are way out of sync with component prices.
In fact, there is little evidence many investors don't rent a their investment properties. Stories about how them are almost exclusivily in areas where landlord/renter laws are so onerous in favor of tenants that there are risks in renting if you want to be able sell the property any time soon.

But in areas without those laws, no one is going to give up an additional income stream that will increase their returns substantially.

I'm not too sure what "jumping on the goof-troop bandwagon" means to you, or what difference you are referring to.

Cloudfare /did/ invest a lot of time communicating and trying to remedy the situations with the DDoS. The is evident in the amount of communication that can be found in the bugtracker.
I hope I can make you more skeptical of the "Cloudflare is the bad guy" trope. Cloudflare is lightyears ahead of any CDN when it comes to supporting Tor.

They specifically built controls so that web sites can remove CAPTCHAs for Tor users completely.[0]

They also do not block/CAPTCHA Tor users automatically. They treat Tor IPs like any IPs: if they detect abuse from the IP, they start giving the CAPTCHA.

Finally, Cloudflare has stated publicly[1] that they have a desire to setup .onion sites for their customers automatically. But they cannot do so until the Tor project is able to upgrade the hashing algorithm used for .onion addresses. If the two organizations could work together, this could be game-changing for online anonymity. Imagine millions of web sites automatically supporting Tor!

I can't understand why the HN crowd is so anti-Cloudflare. This Tor thing seems to be one of the major misconceptions.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with with either Tor or Cloudflare in any way.

I find it annoying that you have to purchase the high-end $2200 configuration if you want to have 16 GB of RAM. I'd be fine with an i5, 256 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.
That is the correct solution, a surrogate key.
Electrons move a lot faster than molecules, you could invent X in the United States and a person in China could be using it tomorrow without any cumbersome shipping or cultural barriers to adaptation.

The hammer, fertilizer and the metal press are all part of our tool-making culture, ways to adopt nature to do our bidding and in the case of the hammer and the metal press to shape it by brute force. In contrast, something like TensorFlow is a tool of the mind which means you can encode it as bits and those will travel the world a lot faster than your average bulk goods or container ship every will.

So they are comparable at some level and totally incomparable at others.

Soma sent out a really self-congratulatory marketing email on Black Friday a few years back, telling people, "Don't buy a Soma today." gushing about living in the moment and enjoying time with friends and family instead of shopping.

I wrote back and asked if they were so serious about that message, why didn't they take the Buy button off their website?

Shockingly, no response.

The making-ofs are incredible and worth watching. For one piece of footage, the camera guy was in a bird hide for weeks on end, waiting. I can't imagine the boredom! In another, they used a hot air balloon. And from a technical perspective, the bit where they're shooting sharks in super slow mo is interesting. All of those are on the Planet Earth 1 DVD box set - I'm sure there are digital options around.
It actually has first class server rendering support! The linked website is statically generated, with the app bundle that enables live editing downloaded afterward.

As for me the only thing I admire in the MBP is the form factor and build quality. I dislike OSX and the purely technical specs are nothing to write home about (especially at that price), so the Xiaomi 13 is great for me.

Many of these pledges require potentially expensive legal defense against the U.S. government. Will YCombinator commit to providing funding for the legal work committed to here?

Who cares...?

Really, you've got to wonder why, for such "hardscrabble," "salt of the earth" people we keep getting thousands of words and photographs that blame all their problems on the "urban folk." The entire setup is a fantasy and it's a very stupid fantasy at that. We never hear about why these towns are so poor. We never hear about the decades of malinvestment (see the relentless drive to increase the military budget and rollback health access) or the pervasive racism that makes any kind of social welfare impossible. Not one word about the decades of shitty, under-funded schools or the culture that actively denigrates intellectualism. It's like magic -- these people just rose out of the earth, poor and bitter, through no fault of their own or anybody else's. And then we get the noble command, "Just listen" -- as if these people have anything worthwhile to say except vile hate and bitter recriminations (see comments above). It's so laughable. A bunch of shitty writing about a shitty place that manages to say absolutely nothing worthwhile, nothing interesting, nothing verifiable, nothing actionable and nothing real. Again, it's a bad fantasy.
I don't know if there are any studies about this but I don't see anything that would make it different. Social media gives us 24/7 opportunity to feel good being on the "right" side of an issue.

I wonder whether there's an inverse correlation between social media use and direct action on civic and social causes: writing a Congress person, volunteering at a homeless shelter, or giving to charities.
I moved to lower Lower Eastside just a few blocks away from Chinatown two years ago. I can't really say the article is on the money. I was really excited when I moved here first and thought the grocery shopping would be the one of the pro's. While I don't cook home (so not much veggie), but I used to buy a lot of ready-to-eat fruits and snacks. Perhaps it's that particular supermarket I visit in Chinatown, but they cut corners and the quality is fairly low. I learned to never to buy anything packaged by the supermarket themselves. Perhaps, I should travel a bit further into Chinatown to enjoy the benefit of such supply network. But for now now, I go shop at the Whole Foods or Eastside Market for all my needs. I no longer want to mess with what I eat.

You are conflating "self-monitoring" with "not actually doing the work."

When you are a chameleon who actually does the work, you're a charismatic and effective employee/leader. When you're a chameleon who doesn't do the work, you're a bullshitter.

If you look at manuals on effective leadership, one of the first pieces of advice is to figure out each person's social style and engage them the way they prefer to interact. Being a chameleon of sorts is part of the skillset of an effective leader. (Specifically, referring to this: https://hbr.org/2000/03/leadership-that-gets-results)

Have you ever tried to teach someone who is uninterested in learning? Or simply unable? They do exist, definitely. Right now I've got someone on my team who has excellent knowledge of academic computer science principles, and no appreciation for practical reality. This is a constant source of friction since real life so rarely looks like a textbook problem. We have tried, and tried, and tried to explain that, but he continues to be a merciless pedant and on top of that his code is simply atrocious. This is what I would call a bad programmer, and I don't feel the least bit snobbish for wanting him off my team.

ISPs charging their own customers for prioritization is completely compatible with net neutrality.
