While I certainly get why you’d get off Facebook for privacy reasons, I feel like a lot of the “addiction” comments here and in similar posts as OP’s are a bit of a weird thing to me.

Are people nowadays not capable of moderation? Purely anecdotally, but I mostly see older generations being the ones that hop off. Is it because they didn’t grow up with this kinda of social media and can’t seem to balance what is a perfectly fine way to interact with friends and stay updated without pulling a cold turkey on it?

I personally mainly like to have my FB profile as a catalog for my pictures, and might casually browse it when I got nothing else to do. There’s a lot of value in various FB groups, for example, I’m currently in South Korea for a year, and there are communities in the different areas for posting apartments and asking questions for expats and internationals.

I don’t know what I’m trying to get at, but I feel that the cold turkey approach is rather an indication of a persons lack of self-control and moderation - you don’t have to choose an all or nothing approach, simply disable notifications if that is what’s bothering you, unfollow people that annoy you, and a ton of other methods to handle these things other than going nuke-all.
Because the system is rigged, folks.

It's not just by the Chromium project, but this is a standard used by Google in general in their code repo.
Ignoring immersivity etc., the sheer number of people who can partake in AR vs VR means that AR will kick off hugely more than VR.

AR can be used practically anywhere, by almost anyone, on a consumer-level phone. VR, by contrast, requires a fixed space, a certain amount of physical wellness, and expensive equipment.
I think Gitlab recommends a 4GB of memory and suspect this helps with caching and thus page loads. In an organizational context it should not be too hard to throw hardware at the problem. In my organization we run a Gitlab instance with at least 20 active users (70 users total) and quite a lot of repositories and usually it runs quite fast. This is on 8GB of memory and 2 cores.

For personal and home use Gitea/Gogs is probably a better choice indeed. As you point out it runs with much fewer resources and as an added bonus it runs as a single go binary which simplifies hosting it tremendously. You could literally just download the binary and run "$ ./gitea web". Gitlab is another beast in that respect, especially if you do not opt for their Omnibus install.
I'm quite surprised with everything the internet is teaching us on a personal and social level.

I noticed on reddit I seek for shallow agreement too. And if a comment gets 0 I'm a bit disappointed. It also taught me that sometimes you get a few downvotes at first but later some people upvote, some even comment. Patience ..

I agree. Companies and consumers alike need to step back and ask themselves "How much time does it take to complete this task without this product? How much time on average will it take me to complete the task with this product?" Those are the hard numbers you should look at when buying a home automation product. I wouldn't be surprised at all if for Roomba, the numbers are 1 hour and 45 minutes, respectively.
> One thing fascinating by "analog computers" is the way they seem to be practically instantaneous regardless of n. That is perhaps part of the efficiency reflected in the article.

I unfollowed every page and all of my +-400 friends. Now I follow only my wife, mother and brother. They do not post much. This cleaning helped me a lot. But every time I add new friend, I need to remember to unfollow him, because than my wall is constantly cluterred with random post from viral pages and friends interaction on the site. I wish there still was the option to deactivate facebook and keep messenger. I don't want to delete facebook and then recreate the friends on messenger only again.
You're right. A big thing in the news around here lately has been one punch kills. I have no idea is it was always a thing and not reported as such or if we've somehow become softer.

I think a lot of techies would be surprised what all that stuff costs as well.

The question you should ask yourself is whether saving concentration camp victims was the main reason for entering the war.
If you roll one die you get 1-6 equally.

If you roll two dice you get 7 most often, 6 and 8 slightly less, 5 and 9 even less, etc.

Say you only have 1 die and want to generate the random number distribution that 2 dice give. Easy, just roll twice, and add them.

But what if you only have the output from 2 dice, and want to pretend to roll 1 die. You need a more general way of converting one random distribution to another.
As previously discussed it's allowed by POSIX and supported by major distributions and Unixen. The systemd team's assertion that it's not is based on a couple of programs, mainly one Debian utility. Basically they don't believe that it should be allowed and they don't want to put in even the tiniest fix, so they're asserting that it's invalid based on prejudice.

The React ecosystem is growing out of control! JavaScript was a revolt against the overcomplicated Java ecosystem, but it is now worse than its original enemy with favors, opinions, and best tools for the job changing daily! Remember when JSON came out as an alternative to XML? Now all XML technologies have JSON equivalents - schema, pointer, etc. What was the point of the switch then - keep spinning wheels and not moving forward? With Babel being the centerpiece of JavaScript development today, can we at least apologize to GWT?

95% of the people I see on the subway every day are glued to their smartphones without interruption the moment they enter the carriage until they leave. And around 80% of the time I get a glimpse of the screen of those it's facebook/instagram/snapchat/<insert your social network of choice>. This is somehow independent of age. So moderation? Balance? Probably depends on the definition.

I don't use ReFS in production, only for personal use, but Win 8.1/Server 2012 R2's version of it should never be deployed in production.

If you're interested in ReFS, use Win 10/Server 2016 instead. Microsoft has made a lot of updates and changes to the codebase, including ones to prevent data loss. They're now essentially pitching Storage Spaces+ReFS as a Microsofted ZFS.

Unfortunately indie creative tools are not a great business (with only a handful of exceptions that have found a sweet spot, like Sketch).

If you want a tool that will be around in two years, Oculus and Google are still a better bet. I wish the market for creative tools were better, but I don't see the prospects for small developers getting any better in this space.

Yeah, I feel like a lot of people here are confused by the notion of Facebook addiction because they don't personally find the content on Facebook particularly engaging. I certainly don't, but I have experienced the same time sink addiction on reddit and HN.
The best part? Weeds will still evolve resistance — just like they do for herbicides — but they'll do it by growing into shapes that the ML models misclassify.
Some people just collect resources for later use. I keep Evernote notebooks for certain topics. Collections of such posts give me a quick overview in case I need it later, and the combination of the reputation/upvote system and the discussions (which I usually link in my notes too) allows for some kind of ranking of the resource I collected. I interpret it as a vote of confidence.

You can solve it using a SAT solver like Z3. There are particularly elegant solutions in Haskell that basically interpret the regex but on "symbolic" characters rather than real ones. You can then ask what values these characters can take such that all regexes match.

They swooped in but wouldn't say that they won. At least in the UK I seem to see more people with a Fitbit than with an Apple Watch.
I realise we're beating a dead horse at this point, but to my mind, "what POSIX says" is a red herring. It's the unexpected behaviour that's the problem (as you point out).

Say I have two users, "nodigit" and "1digit". Given "User=nodigit", Exec is run as user 'nodigit'. This is expected behaviour. Given "User=noexist", the unit file is rejected as invalid because 'noexist' does not exist, creating a syntactically invalid unit. This is also expected behaviour. But given "User=1digit" the unit is accepted as valid, and runs, but the User stanza is ignored as the user is invalid. So the unit is run as if the User line didn't exist, and we get root.

I don't care what posix says. I don't care if these usernames are valid. All I want is one defined behaviour. If a non-existant username rejects the unit, then an invalid username should also reject the unit.
Like you I also dropped it and never looked back for the following simple reasons:

1. It offers nothing while it takes a lot.

2. When something is free, then YOU are the product.

3. Massive violation of privacy (that "like" button on most websites and any other facebook element which now I block with ABP and NoScript)(and all known FB URLs on my hosts file).

4. I can still be in touch with my friend without informing FB (via facebook, instagram, whatsapp) who is my friend and when are we texting.

5. FB is the devil :)
I think that certain people get addicted in this way, and the lack of self control is an indicator of it. Logically it's seeking short term reward over long term, but I think its bio chemistry too - dopamine.

So I think the thing that makes them addicted and the thing that stops them regulating themselves is the very thing that Facebook uses and promotes.

I get it, I think. On the other hand I don't think South Korea would exist without intervention.

My grandfather spent the rest of his life after the Korean war (as an an anzac, artillery, ironically I guess) in a mental hospital, "shellshock" as they called it then. My grandmother and my mother were terrified of him. He got let out a couple of times and always got put back in.

I don't really know what it means to intervene in things, I suppose we would have to talk in some way about the moral value of South Korea existing even if that is unpalatable.

My point I guess is that you are talking about our yes, corrupted set of moral objectives, without maybe considering what happens if we do nothing.
Thanks for feedback. I agree that a huge wall of text is not desired. I think a single sentence answer is fine.

For instance: "Yes, we can. We considered most of that and also have some enterprise customers with similar setups. Check out "googleterm A", "googleterm B", "googleterm C". If you don't find all of that join our slack chat to get more details."

And a more likely answer, also single line: "WTF are these questions? We thought docker+k8s already solves that." (I would've also expected solutions from there but don't hope for it anymore.)

PS (actually an edit to the previous post, but it's already too old): For instance Openshift, as I just found, considers the docker-version kernel-version problem via "xxx-excluder" meta packages: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.4/install_co...

A step in the right direction!

Chromecast is only successful because it's so cheap. Similar as much of Amazon Echo's success is due to the discounts they often offer. That's nothing a startup could really compete with.
Of course not; at that time few or none among the Allies knew the camps existed, so they could not possibly have been the reason. But many lives were saved from those camps, nonetheless, in direct consequence of actions such as Dresden which made it eventually impossible for Germany to continue to prosecute the war.

So the question still merits asking - and answering.
Does anyone know if large scale capacitors are being investigated for this sort of application (or in home storage)? Strikes me as more appropriate than batteries; don't really need to store that energy for months, but rather hours or days. I know that Tesla utilises economies of scale, but still curious why I've never heard of large scale capacitors even being researched.

That was brief and sadly disappeared. However OD is still cheaper than DropBox for 1TB of storage and comes with Office. I'd still mark that as a pretty good deal since most people are required to have Office around.

That's the most curious part, that he wants to go more low-level with Swift instead of high-level.

Systems programming seems well catered for with Java, Go and Rust while high level application programming is left at the mercy of javascript (I like TypeScript but it's mostly improvements borrowed from C# that are bolted on). I think there would be a lot to gain there first and foremost by compiling Swift to WebAssembly.
Meanwhile me and others are having a blast in VR day in, day out.

Funny definition of "vaporware"...

1. Microsoft's Windows VR platform announced and launched to devs.

2. Bethesda announced 3 major AAA VR titles at E3: Fallout, Skyrim and Doom

3. Valve's innovative Knuckles controllers are in the hards of developers

4. Several new headsets announced - 3 for the new Windows VR platform, another Steam VR compatible headset from LG and some standalone headsets.

5. The Rift and Touch is now under 449 Euros

6. Apple announced SteamVR support and their own VR framework for Metal

That's just from memory.
as a hacker news reader it's your responsibility to become an expert in the basics of things like computer vision, machine learning, wavelet algorithms (even if it becomes irrelevant) and so forth.

at the end of the day, someone has to build something using all this, and that someone is us.

I mean what else are you going to do while waiting for another javascript framework to appear? surely we can't all write new front-end frameworks. It just doesn't make sense.

Neither implies the latter the former.
That was kind of my point. Phones and VR are anti-social in that they allow you to ignore your current surroundings; but they are also pro-social in that they allow you to virtually interact with other people.

That's why I believe VR will become mainstream as soon as the technical challenges are solved, just like phones.

But the failure to avoid civilian casualties, however necessary, is regarded as a failure nonetheless, and weighs heavily on those involved - perhaps you overlooked the mention of an increased need for anti-suicide counseling after strikes in which civilian casualties occur. One does not often find "the complete devaluation of innocent human lives" coincident with contemplation of suicide as a potentially proportionate response to having taken them.

I don't know.

You need to distinguish between the "soldiers" such as those in the article and the ones you describe as needing counseling and suffering from the effects, and the people up top calling the shots and deciding policy.

While a soldier may decide on a per-case basis what is acceptable collateral damage, that decision doesn't exist in a void, it's rooted in the policies and guidelines of the organization set by people that, one could argue, are not placing the same premium on human life.
