Totally agree. And it turns out not caused by the layout algorithm but exactly the rendering.

Ask HN: Good Linux Screen Sharing Applications?
Anyone know of any good Linux screen-sharing application? We are a distributed team using Fedora 25 workstation, and need a good solution. Currently we are using Appear.in, however we are dissatisfied, since the screen becomes very blurry with any changes.
It varies greatly based on type of content. The most I have made was $20k per month on a TV show review site. We had Netflix and Hulu advertising on in through Adsense for awhile and their ads were specific to the individual TV shows we were writing about. The RPM's were amazing.

I also ran a Minecraft mods site for awhile with my son and at its top it made $9k/mo with about 130k unique visitor per month.

More tech content sites or other more general sites I have ran haven't gotten anywhere close to those #'s.

Games and entertainment content geared towards youth do well.

Ad placement also makes a difference. 1 well placed in-content ad can make you a lot more than 3 ads. That one well placed in-content ad can generate a higher CTR and CPC vs. if you place 3 ads. When you place multiple ads, the CTR on all of them even the well placed in-content ad is much lower as well the the CPC. I have tested this extensively.

Some government websites use custom-signed certificates because of some stupid reasons, so if you want to use them, it's suggested to install those root certificates, so browser won't complain. That's the only reason I could imagine that someone told you about it. You don't need those root certificates for other websites.

I think the singular use of "newspaper" here follows convention in not needing a leading article ("a").

(Had it been plural the article would have also not been needed on a grammatical basis, although I think it would in that case have been fair to specify "some" or "all").
Swinging wild-ass guess - it might because it makes it easier to damp the equipment against vibrations.

The STM in a surface chemistry lab I worked in for a while was inside a box, and hanging from the roof of the box. By choosing appropriate springs to hang the sensitive bits from and sound proofing the box, it could adequately isolate the scanning table from its environment.

Yeah, I was discussing that with my son over lunch. Even if we have other photos of him on his own website, how is this some sort of objective evidence?

I pulled out my new photo ID received days ago and showed my son the godawful photo on it. We had a good laugh about how it doesn't look like me at all. He could tell because he was looking at me right then while we talked.

I stand by my idea that if you have not seen this person in person, you don't really know how representative it is. My ex husband consistently took hideous photos of me. My sister consistently took charming photos of me. Photos say as much about what is in the mind's eye of the photographer as they do about the subject -- and sometimes more.

Your own passport or ID photos being particularly bad isn't actually relevant to the assertion that this is a good likeness of this man. How do any of us know this is a good likeness of him, other than just taking him at his word?

It may not be direct manslaughter, she's still an accomplice to his suicide. Encouraging a crime makes you as culpable as the person carrying it out.

There was a lot of pretty positive Ryzen coverage around in the last couple of months, so I suspect when something challenges that it piques people's interest and gets a few upvotes in quick succession.

Labor force participation is falling while production is rising. That is what everyone on HN and in any engineering or computing related field does all day: figure out how to get more value from less labor.

You're right. People won't make stuff. People already don't make stuff. Machines do. A tiny elite class of engineers and managers figures out what the machines should do, designs them, and tends to them. The masses need not be involved.
As much as it pains me to say so, we brought it on ourselves. Noone made any GUI toolkit that works as painlessly as React. I despise Electron and my hatred for JS can be seen throughout my comments. Yet I am forced to admit that there is no other UI library that is as good and cross-platform. What alternatives do you have?

Dear imgui ? I want something that looks good and is themeable in a reasonable way. Out of the list, it's probably the best.

Qt ? If I could build a project without bringing along all of Qmake and the shitty signal hack it's based on, maybe.

Qt-QML ? Hey, it's actually pretty close to React... If not for the crippling limitations of it.

GTK ? Yeah, I love passing GObjects around and looking like crap on every platform.

XAML ? Windows only.

Win32? Windows mostly.

wxWidgets ? Tkinter? Swing ? JavaFX ? Tcl/Tk ? They all have their massive problems.

What matters to users is that their software looks good. I'm guilty of that too, even as a developer, I'm willing to use an app that takes a small performance hit provided it looks good.

Yes, the DOM sucks. Yes, React + Redux is reimplementing the Windows message passing loop, something that is 30 years old, reinventing the wheel, but now on the web. Yes, the entire stack is a terrible hack, and we're reinventing CSS through things such as styled-components. Yes, React needs to implement a shadow DOM and diff-rendering to have something that performs well enough. But it benefits from the amazing theming abilities of the browser. Layout with flex is no longer completely batshit insane (only slightly mad). And, eventually, software like Servo will make rendering faster, leaving only the issue of the DOM being slow to update.

Maybe if we native developers stopped, took a good look at what developers wanted and needed, maybe this wouldn't be our situation.
It's also fuzzy because money doesn't just come from one place. I know grad students who were paid off NSF grants but worked on projects also funded by private companies.

From the number of times in my life I've pulled up to a McDonalds drive through looking for breakfast only to find I misjudged the time slightly (and left, because I'm not in the mood for a burger at 10 AM), or the times I looked and found I couldn't because it was already a bit too late, I can totally believe this. Jack in the Box became a go-to for me in college for exactly this reason. Morning classes let out, it's 9:45 or 10, not enough time to get McDonalds breakfast, but I can always get breakfast at Jack in the Box, even if I prefer McMuffins.

Largely a moot point now, since I try to eat fast food sparingly, but boy do I wish they had all day breakfast when I was in my early 20's.
One thing that I know is that it is easier to dump vibrations by hanging your device with springs than by supporting it above springs.

But I don't think this is relevant here.

EDIT: Yeah, pohl answered it. Vibrations are not relevant.

As someone else in the thread said, what's the difference between this and yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater?

That is the case in Hungary, where I'm from. I was surprised by this the last time I had a passport made. It came out looking good, I was just upset that I had had photos made before because the rules weren't communicated clearly. Other than that, I see no drawbacks.

That would be really sad. Every bachelor student in particle physics learns about the "look-elsewhere effect", but in a way, our field is about nothing, we do it out of intellectual curiosity. But in medical studies, where it is potentially about lifes, you see sometimes so sloppy statistical analysis. Sometimes I get the impression that it is OK, even fashionable, in certain fields to know nothing about statistics. Like in school when it was not cool to be good in math. (Source: anecdotes from fellow medical and non-medical researchers)

Thankfully, there are also many good medical studies, and I know there are many researchers in medicine who are much better statisticians then I am. I haven't looked into this concrete study, so I can't comment on it. But I'm a bit worried about the field in general...

"are finding talent in an unlikely place: a college race-car competition."

I am sorry but are we to believe that people who build racing cars for fun on their spare time are more likely to be worse Engineers than those who don't? Because certainly that sounds like the perfect place for recruiting great Engineers.

I am one of the creators of a huge (maybe the largest) Spanish Maker community https://makersupv.com/ and I would bet and highly recommend absolutely anyone who has been in any of the leading positions. We have won a worldwide NASA competition, best design for Hyperloop, made Robot competitions and a really long string of achievements and projects while developing people and managing skills. Meanwhile our average school mate can barely make an LED blink with Arduino, solve a small dispute in a team or just about any real world problems.

I am actually surprised that only few companies are poaching them; I have come to realize in what a poor shape Spanish tech world is with this. I am pretty sure in the US with the same achievements all of them would get 10s of offers/week.
That's just Bayesian priors. Easy peasy for ML.

dis-sys, throughout this thread you seem a bit upset, and seem to be carrying luggage on HN in general, given your outsized participation in China-centric threads. I really don't think the post is as negative as you expect.

The OP is also the author of LinuxFoundation's laptop security guidelines. LF has been targetted by a number of DDoS's intrustions and worms. At least one was successful, and it's not clear if it was a criminal org, or a state actor disguised as such. So their laptop configuration policy is designed to thwart all comers. Hard drive / swap encryption, SSH keys on GPG cards, secureboot, SELinux, encrypted backups, NoScript, HTTPSEverywhere, FireJail, etc.

China's policy appears to be that you must provide them with data should they request it. Making this happen is pretty much in direct contravention of the same laptop configuration policies designed to thwart the NSA, Europeans, Russians, cybercriminals, etc. But lets look at it this way: LF knew the facts on the ground in China, and proceeded anyways. So their IT manager responsible for preventing another break-in publishes a guide for adhering to China's laws while keeping the LF safe.

Throughout this thread I see people suggesting that they're never bothered by state apparatus, so nobody should worry. I don't know which of that sentiment's implications is more insulting: that kernel.org isn't worthy of state infiltration, or that China isn't competent enough to pull it off.
There are a whole host of alternative Ruby language implementations out there, but I only see MRI and sometimes JRuby in the wild. The same goes for Python: largely compatible alternative interpreters like PyPy have existed for years, and often have better performance than the CPython standard interpreter.

Why don't we see more adoption of alternative runtimes? Why doest the community push for the adoption of higher performing implementations as the standard? Does anyone run a more esoteric interpreter for one of these languages in production?
> Nobody can operate effectively in a 100% transparent environment. > Many leaks seem to stir up trouble where nothing illegal or malicious is actually occurring.

A distinction has to be made between secrecy and privacy. While Assange built a great tool against secrecy (and that's what scares Washington and alikes), it may be something good for privacy (hypothetically, the relationship with your aunt is safe, and maybe safer than before Wikileaks).

Things work when the penalty is commensurate with the bad behaviour, if there's no penalty than you're inciting "the bad things"...

If your definition of "bad things" is "everything that's illegal", you're making a reference to the law, but what we should consider is that the law is made by humans. Wikileaks targets those who think they are exempted not only by law, but also by morality, and do this using the threat of completely exposing them ...

If you partially expose things, choosing what to publish and what's private; than not only you are implicitly expressing a priori judgment without clearly exposing it, but you’re manipulating the data and decreasing the punishment too (effectively incentivising the wrong behaviour).

I think that exposing some of the dirty little secrets of these big players is not something that the average Jane/Joe can do, and is definitely not something that you should expect from someone with a strong moral integrity, or excessive scruples of conscience.

Trust is something tricky in intelligence chess games.

Penalty is what is needed here, things won’t change until we require the governments to put the people responsible of killings, dragnets, … in jail. But Hacking Team is still happily up and running despite their actions and the same goes for the attitude of the American intelligence community.

I might also agree, but I’m sorry to say that we still need Wikileaks.
Yeah but he's talking about blocked/filtered traffic.

No CDN that I have used (and we've used Panther Networks, CDNetworks, Cotendo, EdgeCast, Akamai and Fastly) has ever charged us for ingress.

Usually you pay for egress from edges and whatever is going between the edge and origin.

So it would be good to get that clarified so we know.

I find it odd that Prime Now has alcohol, but Fresh does not. There are several other differences in what is offered. It's confusing why there's a separation, and why I should pay $15 a month for Fresh while Prime Now charges a smaller fee per delivery.

Heck, it's even confusing why they separate normal Amazon shopping. If I add an item to my normal cart that is also available on Prime Now (or Fresh), why wouldn't they tell me?

Instead of downvoting you someone should explain why you are wrong.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can't commit a crime by using speech. Plenty of crimes involve speech, like fraud. Most relevantly, encouragement of a crime has long made someone an accomplice in a crime.

If you talk someone into murdering someone else, you will rightfully get convicted. Here, just change someone else to themselves.

The crime isn't the speech. The crime is him killing himself. How she brought it about doesn't really matter. That's why the first amendment isn't strongly implicated here.

Though the first amendment would likely protect someone who said "killself nerd" if the person actually did it. In that situation there is no intent for the person to actually kill them self.

Because all she did was give advice to somebody else. We can't even definitively say it was bad advice, maybe committing suicide was indeed the best option for him.

Anyway I hope all the people commenting here don't support the right to die, because these kinds of rulings make it much harder for a doctor to ever have the ability to advise a patient about suicide.
>details of the famous 1990s McDonald's coffee scalding lawsuit.

Yes, the burns were serious. Educators have latched on to this example to argue that it wasn't frivolous.

>The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) recommends a range of 175° to 180°F (80° - 85°C) for holding and a serving temperature range of 155° to 175°F (70° - 80°C).

McDonalds was holding their coffee at 180-190, just slightly hotter. You're getting a beverage produced by pouring near-boiling water over coffee beans. It's going to be dangerous. Maybe don't order it at a drive-through.
