This. In my experience I've found plain bookmarks arranged in a sensible hierarchy of folders to be the most portable and incurring the least unnecessary cognitive load on me. Unfortunately once you allowed them to build up uncategorised, the effort to shelve them away properly will appear arduous. But better late than never.
> It has nothing to do with other nation's being an effective check on U.S. power.

The example proves you wrong. Without another gov't protecting him, Assange would absolutely be in a US jail right now, or dead. I didn't say that the Ecuadorian military kept him safe. It is the nation states playing against each other that has kept him safe. Whether that play is social or economic or militaristic is just a minor footnote.

> He might as well be holed up in a private citizen's condo in California, if he could find a private citizen who was willing to take him.

Not an acceptable alternative. Gov't would find him. Very unlikely he would make it out of the airport. You have to have the power of the nation state to play against the other nation state. Ecuador provides that in this case. It doesn't always work (US rolls over nations in middle east all the time), but it does work most of the time most of the people (for some definition of "most of the people" which would be people who live in nations that play the nation state game).
That's just a recognition of the existence of that particular quirk of Arch, and that people may need to cope with that. It's remarkably painful, in practice, to deal with the one special distribution that makes "#!/usr/bin/python" do the wrong thing. And unfortunately, some other distributions don't have a "python2" or "python3" binary, making it painful to write portable scripts; you can't write "#!/usr/bin/python2" or "#!/usr/bin/python3" and expect it to work on every distribution out there.

As mentioned, Debian is working on migrating scripts to support Python 3, and doing so using /usr/bin/python3 , which already appears in the shebang of a large number of Debian's Python programs.
I'm at 11,688 bookmarks now ಠ_ಠ. I'm certain that many of them could be deleted, and periodically I'll scan through a section of the list and delete the ones that are obviously no longer of interest to me.

I started using a CLI bookmark manager called "buku" [0], storing the bookmarks database in a Dropbox folder to get multi-system sharing.

One nice feature is after running a search you get dropped into an interactive buku prompt where you can do further searches, open results in a browser, and edit entries.

My motivation for the switch was that I kept encountering issues (mostly performance) when using a high number of bookmarks maintained by the browser. And then there's the hassle of moving all of those bookmarks if I switch browsers again. It has been a positive experience overall.

If the nation state is to go away in favor of one global government then you sure as hell are not going to get those nice things like decenralization. You are by the nature of what you are doing getting more centralization. And thats bad, very bad. Just to give you an example, look at modern events. Edward Snowden can leak information of the USA government and he can get away with that because there is Russia which acts now "as the protector of free speach". In a global government there would be no way to run. States needs to compete against each other. A monopoly never benefits the customer!
Nice to see this release; I'd already started upgrading some of my lightly-loaded servers over the past few weeks but the "real" ones will wait a little longer.

One thing that is new in this release is the availability of mod_http2, for Apache. I'm looking forward to seeing if that will increase the response-time of my various websites.
Same here. When I'm writing something, I pay more attention to related threads here. And my comments sometimes get incorporated into the piece.

Thanks a ton to the whole debian team. You do amazing job that keeps the modern computing running day and night.
This comment sharing more of my life than I'm strictly comfortable with and coming off as patronizingly preachy is my highest point earner. Go figure.
This has been tried before, Holy Roman Empire, Soviet Union. None of those were solving these most pressing problems. We cannot expect a "global government" to solve these problems either.

Nation states are much better.

You are a digital hoarder.

My advice: Delete it all. If you need it bad enough, you'll find it again. It's digital.

With 10K+ bookmarks you'll never organise it.

An alternative (but imo too hard with 10K+) use some kind of hoarding 'zen' approach - look at the link - if it brings you an emotional response - keep, else delete.

Upset? I am not upset about anything. If anyone is upset, it seems to be the fanboys who come across people like me ( I mean, My account has gone from 170 to 140 points by participating in these threads. That is a whopping 30 downvotes for being skeptical!)

>So what exactly happened to hyperloop, and why does that relevant to a discussion on plans to go to mars?

I don't know what happened to hyperloop.

My question is simple.

If Elon Musk thought the idea could work, why would not he pursue it himself, or if he is too busy, why not at least
fund a prototype (you don't seriously consider the "student competition" to be in the same league, right?) Do you have a straight answer to this question?

> why does that relevant to a discussion on plans to go to mars?

It is not relevant to the idea of going to mars. But it is relevant when considering the credibility of the person who is proposing this idea.
Alex Jones literally thinks that alien Satanist lizardmen run the world. That's not hyperbolic mockery; he has actually expressed those opinions.

I absolutely agree that automatically dismissing anyone whose news sources don't completely agree with yours is a big problem. But I think intelligent people can agree that some people have proven themselves utterly unworthy of trust.
Devuan is evidence that stupid people have stupid priorities.

Devuan spends a lot of time and energy to remove libsystemd, a library that is introduced so that software can function properly with or without systemd. Not necessary for Devuan, true, but why not remove critical services shipped by systemd first? They still ship systemd-free.
Well, you can't harsh these findings too hard. Considering yc is a pretty successful unicorn hunter, having many exiting startups in their portfolio is par for the course. I suppose the board at yc would rather see a bunch of exits and a few IPOs than one Uber and a bunch of "great ideas".
Anyone else tried to get debian running on Macbook pro late 2016?
It would be true, but someone like Brendan Eich mush be onto something, right? He can't risk all his reputation for just 33M?
Again, Alex Jones has literally claimed that the world is controlled by Satanists and lizard men from space. It is not to his credit that he hasn't retracted those claims.
and fewer censorship ?

Problem is, if you want to advertise ideas (such as: "Democrats are good!") and influence public opinion, is Mastodon a good place?
Aaron Swartz would be proud of this progress.
I think the specific psycho phenomenon is that if there were 5 good things and 5 bad things about dating in the 50s, we generally remember the good things and talk about the good things. Now with tindr there's also 5 good and 5 bad and we say "wow all these bad things suck, back then it was just [the 5 good things that they remember]".

Remembering the good vs the bad probably aligns with someone being naturally upbeat or sad (glass full vs half-full personality).

Also I'm skeptical of that Democrats and Repubs line. In the good old days they got into fist fights on the congress floor.

London (not the UK, but just London) does indeed have a wider variety of food than Italy, but quality wise I would strongly disagree and feel that Italy is leagues ahead of the UK in terms of food quality.
I like trains. Because of different reasons, Europe and China is better suited for trains (e.g. public transport in cities available).

What I would like to see:
1. An inter European Rail network. Possible 4 Tracks (freight and personal.

2. This trains should be able to connect and disconnect wagons automatically. Hence a fast train may ride from Lisbon , 3 wagons get disconnected outside the city in a railroad shunting yard and then continue to Madrid, the rest of the train bypasses the city and heads to the next big center.

3. See this technology widely used for the freight trains:
http://www.cargobeamer.eu/

The big advantage of trains is that you can run them nuclear and with Thorium reactors in the future.

I suppose so, but I'm biased against Alex Jones now only because of hearing so that so many dubious people like him.

Yet, I don't know anything about Alex Jones himself. It'd be nice if that were included in the critique.

I agree. But this were different times. Nowadays competition and requirements (especially looking at good companies in e.g. Germany) are much higher in IT. Beeing a lateral entrant is (and will always be) possible but it is much much harder.

Yeah, there aren't many situations where that really washes - it's a reasonable rule to have in mind when designing your API, but it seems to clash with the principle of designing "for your clients, not your data". Your clients are often using a browser and don't get to pick the content-type they request.

I guess you could contrive to have /resources/xml/apples and resources/json/apples serve the same content, but otherwise it's query strings or interposing a 'choose a representation for your content' page.

Naturally, none of this is a problem if your clients are not humans, I suppose.
The thing is that resource should have ideally one URI and selecting representation should be done through content negotiation (e.g. Accept header). Of course having an option to use file extensions makes debugging easier in a browser.
>Even so it took until 2012(!) before Minitel was finally decommissioned.

As a point of interest, there are still buildings that use (local) minitel systems to manage security, elevators, electricity, etc. It's not uncommon to see contractors with a minitel terminal in the back of the truck.
> the politician who wanted to drone him is an American, and the reason he's still alive isn't actually any guns or tanks protecting him, it's the PR outcry that would happen if an assassination took place

Are you talking about Hilary Clinton? I wouldn't trust the sources on that. Additionally, it's just plain ridiculous. A Predator drone dropping 100lb bombs on an embassy in London? A PR outcry of an assassination would be the least of the repercussions that this would incur.
Sorry but I think mastodon is DOA. The user experience for on-boarding is atrocious. Think of what the average user would do if you tell them to join mastodon.

First if you search for it and go to the first page it talks about open source (no average user knows what that is; some have vague ideas but in my experience none of them know what it is beyond the very rare person who heard a report on TV and thinks it's "nerds doing something for free"). Then it talks about "blah blah blah social should be decentralized blah blah blah you cannot sign up here because we believe in decentralization!" (paraphrased, of course)

Now the user, the average user who very likely doesn't understand why this pure decentralized thing is better than Facebook or Twitter since he or she can go to one one place, sign up and immediately start posting, has to somehow find somewhere else to sign up because of some purity stance?

Look I'm all for decentralizing things. But it's never, ever going to see the growth of average users having this much friction. When you want to take growth away from highly popular incumbents you need a way to have less friction than them (at least usually, in my experience). Decentralizing, at least in this form, adds an order of magnitude more friction.

Illegal or not, it resolves the issue for the majority of the demographic that needs regular access to publications but for some reason does not have this granted to them through their institution.

> group health insurance in the US is worth at least $75k a year in income. At least.

Would you be able to expand on this? The math isn't adding up on my end. At 35 in California, you'd be paying $350/mo for a Silver plan, with an OOP max of $6800/yr. So the max health costs for a year would be $11k. Plus you get a ~30% discount on premiums from tax deductions under your own company.
A lot of the core development packages like Postgresql are already several versions behind. And who even uses DVDs to install any more? Why are they still sticking to that dead medium?

A URI should represent a resource, regardless of its serialisation format. Serialisation really is part of the HTTP headers, and the support in there is great. Using this allows the web browser and the web server to completely negotiate an acceptable format themselves.

Adding the serialisation format to the URI also creates a conflict: what would happen if you request a .json, but the web browser doesn't accept this format ?
Two factor identification is dangerous, yes.
He wouldn't, though, because with no nations, the U.S. wouldn't exist as a nation, nor would it have jails, nor would there be an "it" to have them. You can't take one side of the thought experiment, eliminate it, and then assume that the other side will run amok without it, because the whole point of the thought experiment was to imagine what would happen if we eliminate the concept of nation-states.

The bigger question is "Is there some person or organization who would cause harm to Assange that he would not be able to protect himself against?" I don't know the answer to that. Go back to the Middle Ages and the answer would be that Assange would pledge his loyalty to one particular lord, who he agreed not to spill the beans on, and he would get protection from them in return. With city-states (popular in antiquity, and perhaps rising again), he would reside in a city, and (assuming he wasn't exiled), that city would provide for his defense and refuse to extradite him, and all the other cities can go to hell.

The complexity today is that we have this whole other level of trans-national organizations: multinational corporations, NGOs, philanthropic foundations, Internet communities, hacker collectives, etc. Many of the "attacks" on these organizations can't be stopped by a national border; for example, Assange can continue releasing damaging information against the U.S. from within the Ecuadorian embassy, and he has done nothing to physically violate U.S. territory, and yet this doesn't matter because our lives are half lived in cyberspace anyway. The nation-state arose as a protective force to ensure that violence occurred only within well-defined wars at the edges of their territories, and citizens could basically count on peace when not at war. It basically succeeded at that, but it succeeded so well that the "battlegrounds" now have nothing to do with physical location and often little to do with physical force.
IMO, the issue is not that they are not eloquent and not written by talented writer. Talented writer who just decided to be "nasty" is not all that much different in results. The issue is large group of people who decided to make your life on the service as miserable as possible. Whether they are talented writers or not, insults, spread lies, harassment and vivisected animals are the same.

Talented writers are good at making people hate you. They excel at stating that you are just offended snowflake or whatever after they misrepresented what you said and intentionally made the the dogpile bigger.
I sold one of my extra 6700k and had $320 hold burning in my wallet and almost bought a 7700k but got a ryzen 1700 instead to try it out. The MSI mobo was terrible, but i get nearly double the crytonight hashrate of my 4.6GHz 6700k with the 1700 @ 3.9GHz which was pretty easy to do. Temps are around 60C with stock wraith cooler and only takes about 110watts full system hashing. I'd say ryzen is a nice win. Skylake X and Coffee Lake though look like a pretty nice improvement from left field. AMD might have some problems fighting those.
I'd like to thank HN for that. HN gave me a bunch of information/reflex/frameworks to understand how to create a company and how to understand various signals, and my first solopreneurship has been successful for 4 years.
It's so weird that this guy thinks he invented email in 1982. I wrote one of the first email programs for PC-DOS in 1982 [1] [2], and we certainly didn't think we were "inventing" email. As you note in your article, it had been around for years! (We called it "electronic mail" back then.)

The only novel things about our program were:

1. It used a graphical user interface built with the character mode graphics on the IBM Monochrome Display.

2. We had the ability to connect to multiple email services using a scripting language, along with point-to-point dial-up connections to other users of our program.

But the email services we connected to had been around for quite a while before that. How else would we have gotten the idea of connecting to them - and more than one of them?

We had definitely never heard of this guy and his EMAIL program!

The references are from 1983, but we were working on the program though most of 1982.
Maybe that's your perspective, but...

LA is way less polluted than it used to be. People used to go to speed dating events where they have a pool of maybe 15 people who might be compatible. Democrats and Republicans both used to be racist and sexist. The weather in New England is much more pleasant in winter than it used to be. These days it isn't a black mark against your name if you've changed jobs 3 times because you wanted to try something new.

All about perspective. If you want to reminisce, go ahead, but there are two sides to the coin.

"Western" is too big of a category to be meaningful here. In several large European countries US material is viewed with mistrust.
If it usually comes from a library and is not implemented by yourself, then to almost all programmers it's an advanced algorithm. Yes, that includes sorting. Most code is incredibly trivial, midsize state-machines at best. The problem is that we still expect the run-of-the-mill CRUD programmer to have a degree.
I agree that Crepes are amazing - I make them often (Nutella and banana mostly, sometimes just sugar), but I disagree that Flambe improves the flavor at all.. There is no need to Flambe the dish prior to serving it.

Almost all flavor is in the aroma. Flambe does nothing to add flavor - at best it is removing those precious aromatic compounds and at worst an inexperienced cook is going to burn down their kitchen. Flambe is all for show.

If you want to add flavor from alcohol (like Grand Marnier), you should just render it down into a syrup. Anyway, that's the advice I got from a better chef than myself, just passing along the knowledge.
