Bringing in someone's personal details to use against them as ammunition in an argument may or may not be 'doxxing' but it's a shockingly bad thing to do on HN, clearly a violation of the guidelines and a bannable offence. We won't ban you this time, but please don't do it again.
Google isn't an ISP, and you don't pay them for access to GMail. So I would say you're in an even worse position with regard to Google than you are with respect to your ISP, as far as expectation of support is concerned.
Yup, and furthur refinements can detect intent, hesitation, emotion, and other kinds of social signalling. (Drivers, bikers, and pedestrians will use non-verbal cues to negotiate; this happens in other contexts too)

The difference being that Apple has a huge percentage of the market share and Android isn't the only game in town.
At least in London another difference is that you don't often see traffic lights across the intersection from cars, so it is harder to peek at the traffic signals and know when your crossing is about to go (or whether that approaching car is going to stop or go through the intersection.) Annoying.
Mixed use zoning is my biggest frustration with the suburb I currently live in. The city has done a nice job of increasing density to levels approaching that of the the "big city" we share a metro area with. The trouble lies with the fact that sq mile areas still tend to be entirely residential or commercial with no intermixing. This leads to driving since there is no good way to walk to shops or restaurants. It could be so much better.

(D) Use Hotmail (1996) or Yahoo mail (1997) or one of several other similar services

(E) Use university or organization e-mail account [1]

[1] Okay, not really much better than your ISP account, but it's a different dynamic and still slightly better, though not everyone would have this option.

[2] I can't actually find a positive reference to mail forwarding being an option around the exact time-frame, but I know I had done this for some people around the early 2000's at least. Though it's a variant of (A) it's still distinct because it's a domain, not just an account.

Elon Musk said that as time passes, technology continuously degrades, not improves, if people don't make a hard effort to keep improving it. The Egyptians knew how to build giant pyramids, and forgot how. The Romans built fantastic aqueducts, and forgot how. We built vehicles that landed on the moon in the 60s, and the next vehicle we built could only go into earth orbit, and then we no longer even had a vehicle that could do that.

Today, for some reason, everyone thinks that writing software for a platform on a platform on a platform with no interconnecting standards or protocols is a great idea. Instead of trying to improve people's lives, we're just making things needlessly complex, buggy, and bloaty. You need 8 gigs of ram minimum just to browse the web, and god forbid you want to do something like back up your data. I was just in a meeting where nobody could get Google's video conferencing to work.

Instead of building internet technology, we build web technology. The web is harder to write software for. It's an ephemeral, inconsistent, difficult thing. But if we try really hard, we can turn the tide on the unnecessarily complex box we've forced ourselves into.

The proposed fixes are good ideas, but they're bandaids on axe wounds. There are much deeper problems going on that won't be fixed by a feature add or a pivot. We need a re-evaluation of all internet-based technology, how we develop it, how we incorporate it into our lives, and what we want as a society from it.
For my own projects: Straight away to an extent. I take pride in making things work fast, within reason.

For work: I just try to avoid making things slow out of stupidity by avoiding things likes n+1 queries. On modern hardware this get's you to the "good enough" point. In enterprise software no one paying me has every cared about performance, they don't have a problem if it takes 15 seconds to load a page showing 10 items for instance, they certainly won't pay me to get that 500ms request down to 30ms.

And that's why commercial software is so slow and bloated, no one will pay a cent to make it otherwise.

I don't understand this either. Perhaps one has to look further into the details of the model. (My general fear with these models is that they are so abstracted from reality, that by tweaking parameters or assumptions you can find anything.)

> She also speculates that interspecies transmission of microbes — from dogs to humans, say, or the other way around — could affect interspecies altruism, another prediction that could be tested using animal models.

This reminds me of the speculation that index funds hurt competition between firms. (In brief: Nowadays, every investor owns both United and Delta; so why would the investors want them to compete with each other?) The microbial species is the investor.

Please don't post unsubstantive partisan comments here. They wreak tremendous damage.
Creator of ack here.

The three biggest reasons to use grepalikes is not necessarily the time to execute the search, but

1) The reduced amount of typing. It's much faster to type "ack foo --ruby" than it is to type "find . -name '* .rb' | xargs grep foo"

2) Better filetype matching, because ack and ag check things beyond just file extensions. ack's --ruby flag checks for *.rb and Rakefile and "ruby" appearing in the shebang line, for example.

3) More features that grep doesn't include, like better highlighting and grouping, or full Perl regular expressions (in ack) and a ton of other features.

Here's a command line to find all the header files in your C source. It takes advantage of the ability to use Perl's regular expressions to specify output:

ack --cc '#include <(.+?)>' -H --output='$1' | sort -u

Here's an article I wrote a while ago on comparing the features of ack and ag. https://blog.newrelic.com/2015/01/28/grep-ack-ag/

Even though I created ack, I don't care which tool you use, so long as it suits your needs and makes you happy, but if all you're using your grep/ack/ag for is "grep -R function_name ." then you're only scratching the surface of what the tools can do for you.
Same here, I do bursts of 120-130kmh highway driving every day and occasionally go higher.

But I usually switch into Hold mode (turns on the combustion engine) so I don't waste too much battery.

To be honest, the extra torque of an electric engine makes slow speeds seem faster. When I was in my diesel VW I found myself at 140-150km/h quite often by accident. In the Volt I'm comfortable going slower because it "feels" faster somehow.

(E) Pay your registrar to forward your e-mail to another account.

I used to run my own server, but I got tired of constantly dealing with spam filtering, RBLs, etc. I just forward several accounts across a handful of domains to my gmail account, and I have gmail setup to send 'from' my own domain (with validation).

I could switch to another service (or my own server) and other than me, no one would notice a thing.
This "back exercise for posture" video was the first one I ever favorited on Youtube. It's helpful for anyone like me who is doing zero today. Kind of a "YTWL" reaching your elbows behind your back. (I did them standing facing a wall, less crushing.)

I wanted to share this as a first-step, almost as easy as nothing type of thing that could help someone considering a more serious commitment to "real" exercise.

Macbook Pro Light Just Came on in Gmail.com
I tried to use google voice to make a call. When I clicked call and it connected, the green light came on for a half second or less.

Didn't happen on the next call.

Ask HN: Where are the blockchain jobs?
Blockchain is hot these days, but, finding a blockchain job is not easy. Whenever a position opens up, the typical requirement is that you supposed to have 2 years of BC experience. That's a bit unrealistic. Would it make more sense if the companies were looking for developers who are willing to obtain new skills and would let them learn these new skills while working on a cool new project? Are there companies out there that have the blockchain projects in their pipelines, and are willing to hire enthusiastic people with 0 blockchain experience?

I'm trying to get my kids to play Human Resource Machine. I hate the name but the game is okay. Because it's basically drag and drop assembly language the amount of steps for the challenges quickly rises. That's a bit of a shame, but the upside is it does sort of teach how a primitive computer would work at a low level for a kid who was grabbed by it.

The blog author and a commenter make a good point about how back in the day getting the computer to do just about anything was thrilling, whereas now expectations are a lot higher but so is the knowledge and effort required to make that happen.

Switching on a computer and getting nothing but a ready prompt somehow made it easier (or more necessary?) to make your own fun.
The brain is obviously perfectly capable of doing lots arithmetics very quickly, otherwise it couldn't process vision and audio signals.
Yeah, this too.

> "There are real issues in IT generally is Aus, eg large orgs outsourcing all their dev work to large and small SI's, no in house capabilities for anything other than limited governance, a reluctance to take on and train grads and a million other things.
Security is definitely something that needs to change. In my experience IT security has often been seen as a infrastructure job rather than a holistic practice that covers the life cycle of systems"

This is spot on I think. I work for an Australian private enterprise-ish organisation almost all of our IT is outsourced. The contract gets renewed every few years and goes to basically whomever is cheapest bidder which means offshore Indian/Malaysian etc support.

As far as I can see cost is only consideration given to who gets the IT contract. And I'm pretty sure these outsourced workers are under pressures of their own the impression I've gotten from my limited dealings is they seem to be mostly focused on closing tickets - I'm guessing they have some kind of performance metric based on open tickets. Often if I report an issue ticket will get silently closed and I have to escalate several times before any action - This isn't really an environment that encourages "best practices" frustrating.

Musk never knew how to make a good electric car people want to buy so I guess he has nothing to worry about.
Flagging for editorialized title.

Original: "How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF"

Submitted: "CNN Forces Apology from GIF Creator by Doxxing, Threatening to Publish Identity"

edit: Besides being a change in title, the editorializing here comes from the fact that in CNN's account of the events, it did not force an apology; the user didn't respond to inquiries but preemptively deleted his comment history and posted a public apology before CNN actually interviewed him.

Edit 2: The CNN reporter tweeted this: https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/882429541981052928

Their last post is Jul 17, but there's signature and even if there was, how would we ever know.
I don't think that's all of it. The Internet used to be these networks that we could, through tools, arrange to be around us. We'd have our e-mail network and our Usenet network and our IRC network, and we have ways to view all those things that aggregated among different e-mail servers and different USENET groups and different IRC channels, and gave us a view around How We We Engaging With The Content (e-mail for one-to-one or one-to-many longform discussion, USENET for many-to-many longform discussion, IRC for short-form discussion, both one-to-one and many-to-many). Now, instead of forming the center of our own Internet experience, there's these silos -- Twitter, Facebook, Slack -- and we form a network around the silo instead of our networks having us at the center.

Now, having large number of people makes many of the features of these silos more desirable, they're not unrelated. But if you could find a way to scale up the "me-centric" view of the web to modern needs, then everyone -- early adopters and the mass audience -- would both benefit, I think.
That's California for you:

The people who use the lanes, by and large, don't need them[1], and simultaneously, California subsidizes and encourages electric car driving while having, by far, the absolute worst electrical infrastructure in the country, with no real plan to improve it[2]

Don't worry, somehow, they are saving the environment in all this, despite the fact that most cars these days probably put out less emissions than a family that ate too many beans.

[1] They are pretty much rich people lanes. None of the very large number of day laborers, etc, could afford an electric car (and there are no electric trucks they could use), but also probably spend significantly more away from their families than people who do use them.

[2] Yes, the math says that if everyone in california drove an electric car, we'd be in trouble. Even if they only charge off peak. The same is even more true of the US, I did the math out in an earlier HN post, IIRC it comes out to something ridiculous like double or triple all current residential electric usage on a yearly basis.

One of the primary intents behind the creation of Redux was that it would provide structure for synchronous state updates, but leave handling of async logic and methodology as a plugin system. Middleware was explicitly intended to be an extension point that would allow users to plug in their preferred approach for handling async behavior (as opposed to libs like Flummox, which had a promise-handling capability built in, but no way to modify it or use anything else). I recapped the intentions behind Redux's creation in my blog post "The Tao of Redux, Part 1 - Implementation and Intent" [0].

The idea of Redux middleware has been an unqualified success. There's several hundred middlewares now available, covering a wide range of capabilities like general async side effects, API abstractions, logging, action transformation, and much MUCH more. I have a list of just about every existing Redux middleware [1] in my Redux addons catalog [2] .

The most common Redux async side effect middlewares allow you to handle your async logic via your preference of syntax and implementation: simple functions, promises, generators, observables, or even Elm-style descriptive effects. I listed the most popular side effects libs in "The Tao of Redux, Part 2 - Practice and Philosophy" [3], there's a really good article comparing the various approaches at [4], and I have more articles on Redux side effects listed at [5].

This particular middleware appears to be primarily for transforming the contents of actions as they pass through the middleware pipeline, with the ability to resolve the transformations synchronously or asynchronously. This would likely be useful in ensuring that responses from an API have been transformed into a consistent format before they are processed by the Redux store. So, it doesn't look like it handles or implements async behavior itself, but rather allows you to write transformation logic that can be async.

If it's a concern just use a language that's within an order of magnitude of C and don't write anything exceedingly stupid.

The first court cases where someone purposefully throws themselves in front of a moving self driving car will be interesting. Obviously I hope this never happens, but it's inevitably going to happen at some point. Hopefully the sensors are gong to be good enough to be able to save those individuals with no injuries. Though I guess from the car's perspective, this is identical to an animal or child darting into traffic, so this will have to be accounted for in some capacity anyway.

Weight loss isn't "known intractable". Physically it's very simple, if an overweight person is physically prevented from eating too much, they'll lose weight, just like physically it's very simple to quit addictive drugs.

And the drug analogy is a good one, because just like quitting drugs, you can't quit overeating (barring the aforementioned option of someone physically preventing you from doing so - which is literally what gastric sleeve surgery and the like are doing) until you actually choose to. When you wake up in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror, and instead of "oh I'm so fat" or "it's not fair" or "I wish I could lose weight", you think "I choose to lose weight by controlling what I eat", then you lose weight. And it stays off for as long as your choice holds.
