Harvard Study Reveals Huge Extent of Anti-Trump Media Bias
I don't like article titles in the form "X idea I just read about can set us free." If a thing has a benefit, tell me what it is, do not bs me about my freedom. Perhaps Understanding that words mean different things to different people, and a context and inflection which can be optimized is far from freedom. That sentence could be mined for a better title. Or any of the other proposed benefits would do better as well as a title.

I don't like the presupposition that I'm not free. I also don't like the idea that employing a small subsection of Wittgenstein's philosophy would free me if I needed it.

I think Shakespeare did much more for language that Wittgenstein. The artful and tactful use of language preceded Wittgenstein calling a subset of that tact "language games"

I think "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" if far better than Wittgenstein's Duck/Rabbit photo. Particularly if you're talking about words and not visual perception. You could say that the lessons are slightly different, logically, but I think it shows the power of artful language locking a powerful idea into culture for hundreds of years.

It seems to me that Marcuse, Wittgenstein, and Sandy Grant Could learn some things from the people who use language best. This is the final sentence of this piece: "We might first need to ‘be stupid’ if we are to see this."

Beautiful prose best delivers beautiful philosophy.
I keep a minimal form of journal for all life events. I briefly describe a thing I did or a thing that happened, and how much energy it took me to go through it on a 0 to 4 scale, where 0 is breathing and 4 is major life crisis. If I think there was a lesson I write the lesson too.

This creates a feedback loop for stress reduction where I aim to mitigate both the likelihood of having a crisis and train a calm response by learning how to deal with smaller stuff so that the day is full of 1's. I chuck it all in a text file once a day, and return to it because my todo is also in there so I always have a backlog. I don't distinguish between work and hone tasks although I might if I were going in to an office.

Long form diaries I don't really engage with because they'd sap relatively more time - I would get caught in trying to make it a storytelling experience.
I started keeping a comprehensive developer diary (I actually refer to it as lab notes) back in December, and it's made a considerable difference to how I think about what I'm coding.

The way I write it is similar to test-driven development — I write down each step in what I'm doing before I do it. When I run a command, I copy the command itself into my notes, then once it's run I copy the important parts of the output (e.g. any error messages).

It really comes into its own when I want to pick up on a task that I had put to one side a few days previously, or when I run into a problem that I think I'd encountered before. It also makes it much easier to avoid the trap of trying the same thing several times before you realise that you're going round and round in circles.

It's also useful for writing documentation. You can just copy and paste what you've written in your lab notes into your commit summaries, Jira tickets, e-mails, spec, help files, whatever, then tidy up as appropriate.
Regardless of who ultimately financed it, it was the common French soldier fighting under de Lafayette and others who helped the American cause. There were also many French immigrants to America during the time of the revolution (I am aware of the Alien and Sedition Acts; I never claimed there haven't been regrettable mistakes along the way).

My point was that there is a brotherhood among Americans and Frenchmen which transcends temporary political turbulence, that is all.

I just spent a half hour or so figuring this out because I have several old laptops/computer laying around:

you will not make more than a few cents per month in bitcoin as a miner unless you have specialized equipment. Setting up your home computer to mine when you are not using it is literally worth zero bitcoin unless you have top of the line graphics cards, and even then it is worth very little.
Who doesn’t know about DuckDuckGo though? This is HackerNews after all.
So people who aspire to get work visas and relocate to the US should no longer be able to visit temporarily on tourist visas? That seems like a nonsensical policy.

It’s not like he can get a job working as a software engineer for Apple as an undocumented immigrant.

Edit for anyone confused: this is a comment about the policy, not about the parent poster.
Second this.

We've just started to fully appreciate the possibilities of the Blockchain particularly. I was reading some academic paper on analyzing and querying blockchain transactions and I found it absolutely outstanding. I'm also keen on seeing what large commercial projects are built on the Ethereum platform.
I think Apple has made it abundantly clear they don't care. They've never released terribly good or performant open GL drivers on OS X. My understanding is they've always been quite behind on features.

Apple has an API they make that will be nice and fast and do everything they want and they can update anytime they want. And because it's the same one it's going to be used on iOS and other places it will have support and people use it. There will be tooling for it.

They tried open CL and lost, along with their approach on the Mac Pro, I don't really see them going forward with it. It seems pretty clear that CUDA is what people really want right now, that's another proprietary API.

I'm not sure what the big drive for having Vulcan on Apple platforms is other than to be on the "standard". That gives Apple some benefits but they don't seem to think it's worth it. I'm not entirely sure they're wrong, especially given that Apple can make an API that fits very well with their custom chip that they put in hundreds of millions of devices. The fact that Apple operates the whole stack lets them do some of the stuff they do faster than anyone else, using Vulcan wouldn't give them that.

The very presence of a keylogger makes the machine insecure for entry of any passwords, no matter how you do the entry.

The UK is a setting of quite a few prominent dystopias (e.g. 1984, Brave New World) and that imprinted in my susceptible young mind that while the UK seems to have always been on the "free" side of the societal spectrum, it's not guaranteed to continue in the future.
Does depend where you get your figures from. Bitstamp, a popular European exchange is listing a daily high of $1989, and it's actually dropped back a little from that.

I'm so sorry for you and your job, I guess.
Difficult interviews serves this purpose as well.
"... the additional cost for them to get location tracking and reporting integrated in their mobile apps is trivial..."

As a professional developer I would say that its not trivial, at least not cheap to develop. Theoretically all problems you know how to solve are trivial. Professionally you know that developing a solution that is flexible, reliable, supportable, extendible, user friendly and maintainable takes time, expertise and money to develop.
1%? What does that mean?
Sounds like you've mentally set up an adversarial relationship between yourself and 'them' (managers). This is only going to continue to drain you.

Ideally, look for a job with a smaller commute or better attitude to remote work, and get out now. If you can't do that and need to stay in this job for a while, think about changing your mindset to empathise with your managers, even if you dislike them. Be helpful, think about what they are 'actually trying to achieve', which might not necessarily be what they asked for. Remember this is only a stepping stone til your next, better job.

If you're never going to like working 8-10 hours a day you need to figure out the necessary stepping stones to move into working for yourself.

But whatever you do, don't spend years in a me-vs-them mental battle with management at your current role. I made this mistake and deeply regret the lost years (though I did teach myself JavaScript in that time so now I'm massively employable, fuck that employer, har).
How does this compete with putting a big script tag at the end of the body in the HTML that contains all the code necessary ? What settings can make this way of requiring scripts useful ?

I guess this can be useful, to load extra functionality at run time, in very big single page application.
Sorry for my wording issues -- I wasn't making a statement about whether giving such an option is good or bad, I was trying to talk about what went wrong in that case when the humans had to take over.

We both agree that the humans need to be provided critical data (including AOA) so when they need to take over, they have a proper set of information and aren't missing anything and don't need to reverse-engineer the AOA from the stall warning horn and the airspeed when the aircraft measures it in the first damn place!
Well, according to Wikipedia, the history of tablets goes back to the 1800s. But I know for a fact that I bought two tablets on December 31st, 2011 that were priced at $2000 (after getting a 2 year internet service contract plus a 20% employee discount to reduce the price, I paid $800 up front) and it was kind of the hot new item at the time. And I know for a fact that proliferation of apps we have now was not the norm back then. I had enormous difficulty getting things done on it and I noticed that painfully because I essentially had no other access to computers at the time. I can now do all kinds of things on a tablet bought for under $50 that I could only dream of and wish for 5 years ago.

Honestly, I don't have confidence in Bitcoin as a viable tangible asset to the world. So even if it goes up 100x tomorrow, I'm still content with not having invested any of my energies or resources into it. It's too heavily speculative to be useful in the way proponents purport it's usefulness.

The blockchain as a protocol and concept I think is very interesting and potentially extremely valuable, but the specific coin and technology called Bitcoin - I really don't care for.

It's just more fun and rewarding to make money by investing in things where I have a strong conviction about their usefulness. The moment you add layers on top of Bitcoin to make it usable to a broad audience you destroy the initial value proposition of anonymity and vague notions of "democratizing finance" (see: Coinbase).
> The fact that Apple operates the whole stack lets them do some of the stuff they do faster than anyone else, using Vulcan wouldn't give them that.

There isn't anything I'm aware of that Metal can do faster than Vulkan can.

The situation is simply that Apple doesn't care, since they're invested in Metal and see no reason to switch. Developers are forced to use Metal because it's the only thing Apple supports, and Apple sees no reason to make it easier to port applications to competing platforms. This decision may or may not be a conscious effort to create lock-in, but whether malicious or not, it hurts developers like me who have to develop modern cross-platform graphics applications.
Thoughts on Learning a Little Scala
At its core, Google remains what it originally was, a computer science library project, basically a computer version of a library card catalog subject index with results sorted by a gross measure of popularity. So, as for a subject index, it's searching by key words. Okay.

It's a guess, but I think the whole living-together-on-an-island can explain a lot. Maybe in the current world with cheap airplane tickets, a tunnel to Calais, and of course the whole internet thing and globalisation, it may look like that doesn't matter. But this is in the blood, in the culture, in the history of the British. It's what I often hear at least.

Living on an island where it's difficult to escape makes it that you have to find a way to live together. That makes it more important to tolerate eachother, to live with eachother, and politeness is a way to do that. Compliance is a way of surviving if you cannot escape.

I've heard that the Dutch are the least compliant. Well maybe the source is not reliable, the source being Marina Abramovic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Abramovi%C4%87), a performance artist who worked over the world as well as in Amsterdam, and said that the Dutch were the least cooperative during her performances. I don't know if that is a compliment, but being a "Hollander" I can relate to it.
That's the goal, yes, but IMO, this design is cheating to beat it. It stretches the idea of what is a boat (for example: can it be wider than it is long?), and of where the boat ends and the stuff loaded onto it starts.

You can also be clever by designing a 'boat' that is nothing more than a mast with a large counterweight standing vertically in the water, attach your permanently inflated 20 meter long 'life raft' to it, and live out of that life raft during the trip. Such a 'boat' could easily be less than a foot long.
Even if you have a top of the line graphics card you will be spending more on electricity and wear than you'll ever make back since you will likely not mine enough in any pool to qualify for part of the block reward.

The top GPUs are looking at thousands of mhash/s. Where the most common ASIC miner does 14,000,000 mhash/s.
I think the idea for using airships is that you could basically attach any old container underneath it, effectively using it as a flying container crane.
it's easy to minimize Google's accomplishment, but doing this at scale in a useful way and monetizing through advertising was revolutionary and has added billions of dollars of value to the market.
Bitcoin can't be mined even with graphic cards any more. You need specialized hardware (ASICs). The current total hash rate of Bitcoin is over 10^18 hashes per second which is insanely high. However, it's still profitable and relatively easy to mine on other public blockchains with graphic cards because the hashing algorithm is ASIC resistant (like Ethereum).

You could make a couple hundred bucks a month with 6 graphic cards. Check out https://whattomine.com/
Are those serious questions?

The EIF has frozen funding to new UK VCs
Oh, I'm almost certain that the cases are far fewer in America. I lived in the US for most of my life and I've taken tens of thousands of photographs there, some of those in places which are actually legitimately vital to national security. I've never been stopped by an officer (for photography at least) as far as I can remember. Meanwhile in the UK I've been stopped by officers multiple times.

I think the reason why you hear about it more in the US is because it's rarer and thus more shocking. If I was improperly stopped from taking pictures by a police officer in the US I'd raise a giant fuss and contact the department and Tweet about it and all that. Meanwhile it has happened to me multiple times in the UK and I haven't raised a fuss at all aside from a mildly heated argument with the officers in question.

It's the same with other things too: I've been within meters of a politically motivated execution, and I did nothing. That was in Iran though, and any efforts I would have made would simply put me next in line. Meanwhile, if a politically motivated execution was happening in America I would raise hell and I expect many other people would too. People's reactions to something are completely different depending on where that thing happens.

Funny enough, I have been stopped for photographing things in the Netherlands at least one time that I can remember. The officers were a lot friendlier however, made small talk, and reminded me that my photographs were perfectly legal.
Maybe the selling point is "we place your ads where they will be relevant and users won't be so inclined to block them" and back that up with statistics.
I don't know if it was explicitly part of the campaign, but UK's government was one of the biggest blockers on European Union's net neutrality laws.

Also, the conservatives mentioned the interference of the European Court of Human Rights and its ability to override sentences inside of the UK as one of the reasons they wanted to leave the EU.
> An important corollary in this doctrine is that IKEA should go all-out Unbraco or Torx on their screws; wretched be those who advocate Philips heads in any application!

Aren't most main fasteners in IKEA furniture shear-loaded though? The last assembly I can remember doing was exclusively the post & socket type connectors in pre-drilled holes.

And if you're not actually torquing a fastener then Philips+ seems a bit overkill.
Maybe it's the cue to vote for the other party, which will mean the end of Brexit?
To clarify: Chromebooks are (last I checked) unlockable.
To be fair, I don't think this is a partisan thing. The Labour government were getting pretty authoritarian towards the end of their tenure too. Remember the ID cards debacle?
I'd bet on Apple having more leverage with the government than Tencent just because Apple indirectly employs millions of workers.
You know what's frighteningly ambitious? Replacing ALL apps and websites by a single one. That's right, my plan is to build one system that will make all the others obsolete.

I've been expecting and actively looking for this for more than a decade. I have never found anyone discussing this idea, even less attempt to implement it. People really can't imagine what the post-app world will look like. Even people here on Hacker News. I don't expect most VCs to appreciate it either. I'm on my own, and I hope people will realize how important this is when they'll see it.

The key to understand this is to realize that it's not just about building another app. It's not just about building another OS. It's not just about building another programming language. We need to completely rethink the way we think and communicate. We need to invent a new communication paradigm, a new medium for thinking.

The goal should be to eliminate the gap between the thought of something and the existence of something. I should be able to think about X, and X should then exist. That's the gist of it.

Obviously, it's unreasonable to expect that gap to disappear within the next 10 years. However, I believe that 10 years is enough to reduce that gap by more than it was reduced in the past 1000 years.

Google asked themselves what email would look like if it was invented in 2009. I'm asking what language would look like if it was invented today. Who else attempted anything like this in recent history?

Now back to something more concrete you can all relate to. How many apps do you have on your phone? How many online accounts have you created in your life? How many different messaging apps are you using? Most people are very adaptable, and don't realize that the answer is "too many". We've seen many attempts to improve this situation, with things like the semantic web, OAuth, WeChat, personal assistants, ethereum, Vurb, bots, Google Lens, etc. That's not sufficient. We need something much more ambitious. We need real disruption.

I intend to make 50% of existing jobs obsolete within the next 10 years. I'll need some help. Who's in?
I have a ton of Bitcoin FOMO. I have two friends who are holding ~5000 coins each. They bought in the $15 range. I can't think of anything that's gone up 125x
I believe it applies, as someone who doesn't know much about crypto AND is interested in protecting myself, this small tidbit of information moves me closer to being an aware and self-defensive computer user.

Any bad guys with sufficient ambition and intelligence are going to get as far as they're going to get, and if you're afraid of talking in public because a "bad guy" might overhear you and become smarter, you really are living on the wrong side of matters.

>> What the hell does `2>&1` even do?!

It redirects standard error to standard out? That's what it does in powershell anyway. Frex, I got this line in my $PROFILE:

$p2 = & $env:Python_2/python.exe --version 2>&1

To get the current Python 2 version on my machine. I'm not really sure what it's an alias for, but I like having the shortcut of the more concise syntax.

The real problem is that, for some reason, python.exe --version outputs to standard _error_. That, I don't really get. I'm sure there's a good reason for it but it's not obvious and that's what's making the "2>&1" at the end hard to figure out.
