And exactly what language do these fine folks do their frontend development in, Go, C++?

Google sure spends a lot of resources on this lesser language for how few engineers want to work with it.
Came here to say exactly this! In addition, you could stack and them once you have something that's at least 8 bits per pixel use Photoshop to clean things up.

I guess instead of making an HDR image from SDR images you'd be making an SDR image from LDR images. :-)

This happened to me. I had a Knology email for twelve years (when I worked for them and long after). I created it when I had that authority, then out of the blue after 12 years, I got an email saying that the mailbox was being removed due to being against TOS for being offensive. I guess someone got irritated. I never fought it or cared because I didn't want to raise the stink, because 12 years it was fun being God@Knology.net
What is this conjecture based on?

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that fasting, and even intermittent fasting, is a good thing (actually, I seem to recall some papers/articles have ended up on HN). Fasting has also been shown to regenerate the immune system[1]

Besides, I have enough body fat to supply calories for a good bit longer than 5 days :)

I was looking through the source and learned that Python's modulo operator is based on floor-division (rather than round-toward-0 division like in C). In case anyone cares how Python actually does in in C, for small ints its defined at https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Objects/longob...
That seems odd. I'm in my 20s and do bodybuilding. I have a very dialed in eating schedule. My maintenance is around 2700-2800 calories but I lift 6 days a week plus cardio. I find it very odd that you could maintain weight at >2500 calories living a sedentary life and not having a clean diet.
It is interesting that the court was arguing that there are protection measures the plaintiff can take. Makes one wonder that the legal situation is for the folks that are circumventing the default browser protection mechanisms.
It was a reasonable decision by Eastlink. There is convention that email addresses of the form 'noreply@xxxxx.yyy' are company notifications and there is possibility of confusion. Bad luck for the customer.
Politicians use economists to justify their own ideology, I can't see anything happening to change that.
It seems that he has been generally correct about the economic problem gradually ending, though maybe inequality of distribution has been worse than he expected, so we are still somewhat distant from the real end. But if his picture is right, there should have been steady progress in the ability of the upper middle class to make better use of leisure time. Has there been? I have no clear sense of this.
"Keynesian policy only works when every country in the world is not practicing it."

Most economies acted along keynesian principles during WW2. There's nothing stopping any economy from raising aggregate demand to equal productive capacity, no matter what other countries are doing. It required an existential war for elites to stop pretending, though.

Naturally Harvested vanilla currently can go for $600 dollars a pop. Although the plant was originally from Mexico, 80% of the worlds' natural vanilla is now harvested in Madagascar.

It is highly unlikely any of you have tasted "all natural" vanilla as 99% of food products in the super market utilize an artificial version of the same critical flavor compound found in the plant: vanillin.

Vanilla plantations do not have the capacity to satisfy the worlds' demand with or without insect pollination.
I think they're trying to say that the graph uniquely determines the polynomial, rather than that the polynomial determines the graph. Or at least, that's how I read it. But I agree it's a bit ambiguous.
Serious question: is a "data lake" just a really really really scalable filesystem?

I see it described in many different ways but ultimately that's what it sounds like to me.

Obviously I'm sure there's massive effort involved under the hood in presenting it as "just a filesystem" to the end-user (or end-process), but am I missing anything else?
I don't see how those don't fit together perfectly well. The first sentence describes the smooth operations of the Texas legislature, and the second sentence describes the group that threatens this efficiency, and embarrass an otherwise-well-run state.

You may disagree with the thesis and the choice of flowery language, but I dont' see anything incoherent about it.

You guys were seriously off here. That story spent hours at #1 and many hours more on the front page. Not sure how you missed that, but I've noticed that pre-existing conceptions about HN—for example, about what stories 'always' get flagged—affect what people see/don't see to a surprising extent. It's like a long running gorilla basketball experiment. (Not picking on you, since the phenomenon presumably applies to all of us.)

Beyond bananas: ‘Mind reading’ technology decodes complex thoughts
How right “Message Length” can make your chatbot better
Keynes basically advocated for massive government stimulus to make up for national economic slack. The problems with governments doing this is:

1. Governments are less efficient than free markets at spending money. See China.

2. It tends to lead to central bank stimulus (dilution and tight control of currency values).

3. Currency devaluation results in a more competitive international trade for the country in question. This puts more unnatural pressure on other nations' economies.

4. Everybody racing their currencies to the bottom to remain economically competitive. Which is why people got in a tizzy about Japan, China, and now Germany. If a politician can get away with it why wouldn't they tweak monetary policy to juice the economy under their watch? Trump has made comments to this effect and appears poised to continue the cycle. If you can believe anything he says..

These ingredients (high global trade levels compared to historical, tightly interconnected economies, disconnect from the established standard of trade ie: gold in favor of paper IOUs, yet competing and ambitious political interests) can only lead to one thing. An undeclared currency war.

Why else are we still witnessing weak to no inflation across the developed world?
Correct me if I'm wrong. There are certain areas where economics/human behavior that are well understood. Like how people behave in markets.

Macroeconomics isn't as well understood. However given the vast control the central bank has monetary policy seems to be quite effective.

Side note: I'd love to know what areas of economics, psychology and other soft sciences have predictive power, according to a consensus of experts.

Do we know things? What do we know? Let's find out!

And if it's pro-AMP then it's good for you.

As a user, I like AMP. I don't work for Google and have zero investment in whether AMP succeeds or fails. But I'm capable of rationally discussing it without ridiculous FUD or pejorative noise, which so many of you aren't.

If you feel that's good then I really don't know what arguments would make you see

Of course. Allude to the greater knowledge that the ignorant fool just doesn't get. 2 for 2 now.
There is none, appart from making the Oracle employees life easier. They don't have to deal with the backlash of breaking customers by accident when touching private APIs, so it gives them more liberty. They decided to take the blow in one go, instead of spread over time. Now, the blow was bigger then they thought, so they've retracted and spread the change over Java 9 and 10, by making 9 an optional setting, and saying 10 will be the cutoff.

In an ideal world, it makes sense. This is defensive programming, they're protecting themselves against unplanned usages of their libraries. That's always good when you're a maintainer. You know how annoying it is when you're trying to change and improve things and you realize you can't because someone was using your stuff in a completely dysfunctional way and now you'd break them if you proceeded.

But in a practical world, the world of business especially. You should also know that part of the popularity of your software comes from all those use cases users have managed to somehow satisfy without you explicitly planning and building them. Take those away, and your software also loses a lot of value, until you reimplement all these use cases in a more sane way. Tjis will take time, and your customers might move on to something else. We'll see how this impacts Java.

>1. Governments are less efficient than free markets at spending money. See China.

It's worth noting that the free market is less efficient than governments in other areas, or at least, it does not optimise for outcomes in certain areas.

I have a very fond memory of BeOS, I had a BeBox way back in the second half of the nineties. It was my first multi-processor (now "multicore") system and I've never looked back since. The system, the philosophy, and the OS were ahead of their time by leaps and bounds. That said, at the time it was a solution in search of a problem.

I've been trying out Haiku for several years. I have to say that it brings back very fond memories and is astoundingly feature-complete, but the limitations of its architecture is beginning to show: the system has no in-built notion of security and lacks even the most basic primitives for such purposes insofar as it isn't multi-user and has no notion of access privileges. The architecture is POSIX-complete but without users it is surprisingly limited.

Of course there is no real chance of extending the architecture to 64 bits or of porting it to non-x86 architectures.

Haiku is a great effort, but it's a requiem for what BeOS could have been.

EDIT: it seems that there is a 64-bit version I was unaware of.

Institutional identity providers (from government passports to FB) are getting more abusive. They want more from you in exchange for being allowed to use their platform.

Hard to know what the causes are here: could be anything from the dominance of free services (i.e. you can't 'take your money elsewhere') to laws that make it harder to do business anonymously.
Running any npm module install script through sudo is a bad idea unless you are very sure of exactly what will be installed and how. There's a reason why distribution packages are generally signed and package managers require packages match repo sigs.
Back in the very early 2000's I owned a domain and a month after renewing it, the registrar refunded me the registration fee and took ownership of it - the new WHOIS entry was for the owner of that registrar.

Similarly; you are at the whim of the NICs, with the .ly domains being a great example of a TLD taking back domains for whatever reason. https://benmetcalfe.com/blog/2010/10/the-ly-domain-space-to-...
This is such an interesting point. When I was young my dad and I remodeled a 300 year old timbered home. Many people who had done the same had used foamed concrete between the beams and used modern paint. The outcome was similar to what happened to your garaje. Humidity lead to the beams starting to rod. So my dad and I used clay bricks and used lime based plaster and colors. Much more similar to how timbered houses used to be. Not only did the work come out well, but working with those materials especially the clay was a great experience. Traditional mortar will mess up your hands if you don't wear gloves whereas working with the clay was like a spa treatment.

Almost all the complaints on technical site performance I get from tools such as PageSpeed Insights and WebpageTest are indeed about Google's stuff, not mine, and as far as I can tell entirely unnecessarily.

Eg leaving at least some of their own static site-furniture graphics not fully minimised and not cacheable? Likewise the CSS. I keep removing Google stuff from my properties because it outweighs my stuff by typically 10:1, again entirely unnecessarily AFAIK!
Government creep results in suboptimal outcomes for everyone, raising tensions and exacerbating economic books and busts. I point to Greenspan and the housing crisis. Maybe the U.S. shouldn't be subsidizing housing and student loans?

Additionally, currency and trade wars tend to become the violent kind.

You could argue that the real problem is that Keynesian backed governments never turn off the spigot, but why should they when the chosen stimulus policy neatly aligns with their own professional goals?

Trying to impress somebody is a situation I am not comfortable with, so in this particular situation I would not drink. I consider this a sound policy (but then of course, of course I would, because it is my policy, so I'm biased).
> But I'm capable of rationally discussing it without ridiculous FUD or pejorative noise, which so many of you aren't.

Well, since you are commenting across many threads in the same vein I don't see what gives you the moral high ground on this.

You as a user like AMP, but what's good for you as a user may very well be detrimental to the web and your personal temporary inconvenience need not have taken a backseat to 'the greater good' if Google had simply increased the penalty for web bloat.

That's what I'm getting at when I say that AMP is solving the wrong problem, or if it is solving the right problem that it is solving it in the wrong way.

This is just Google replacing one kind of bloat with another and we need neither. It is also a fantastic example of how a near monopoly position can be abused to extend your grip on other markets.

Whether you work for Google or not doesn't interest me one bit, what I wonder about is if you do not remember the past where we had all these systems that wouldn't talk to each other and where a few very large players dictated what the rest of us should do.

Google is outright coercing content owners to support AMP 'or else' and that's just not the web that I want to see. Giving Google a free pass here means that other players will take it as a sign that the time is ripe for the next land-grab and then we will all - including you - suffer.

My web properties will never support AMP, they're not bloated to begin with and whatever penalties Google assigns to them are proof positive that this never was about bloat.
