Doesn't smoke also wake people? One of my roommates once tried to burn my door down. The yelling and screaming prior to that didn't wake me up (I thought it was just part of a dream, I guess it was a REM sleep cycle), but the coughing from the smoke eventually got me out of my slumber. I'm pretty sure the body has a built-in smoke detector.
That's cool, I didn't even think about that!

So in your opinion does the linked article (it feels wrong to call it that...) accurately depict this (or at least depict it accurately enough that it's not deceiving)? Or like you kind of hinted at, is it close enough during this particular eclipse to not really matter?

Whatever it is can't just be fear of lawsuits. They've done the following things:

- Publicly stated that they regret the reserved list, it's a mistake, and its existence hurts the game.

- Implemented a policy that employees are not allowed to publicly discuss the reserved list.

- Released tournament-legal cards from the reserved list in a manner 100% compliant with the terms of the reserved list.

- In response to complaints, strengthen the reserved list policy so such releases are no longer allowed.
>At some other countries (e.g. Portugal, Italy, France), they have tolls for the highways so only the cars crossing that road pay for the cost.

JFYI in Italy you pay BOTH a "fixed tax" (which is function of the horsepower of the car engine) AND most highways have tolls.

You pay with the fixed tax the "general maintenance and development" of ALL roads (excluded toll highways) and you pay the toll on a per use basis, as highways are largely "private" (technically they are public but object of concession/grant to privates).

Redwood City is encouraging apartment construction in a big way. Block after block of buildings in the 8-story range are going up near the railroad station. Meanwhile, Stanford University is building an additional campus about a mile from downtown. The strip-mall area in between is starting to be replaced with larger buildings. It's happening fast; there are construction cranes all over town.

Meanwhile, real estate in SF is dropping in price. The bubble seems to be popping there.

I'd imagine the missing $8.5 million of profit goes towards the cost of services for ~10,000 new residents. That's only $850/year/person.

This study [1] should give you an idea: the median residential property operates at a net loss to the city at a revenue to expenditures ratio of 1:1.15 whereas commercial operates at a huge net gain at 1:0.27.

The hottest I've been in was in Sep. 2006 in Waco Tx [0]. Mainly due to a hurricane in the gulf that pulled the humidity out of the air, but it wasn't so bad. Road my motorcycle to work that day. Summer 2007 was even stranger, rained almost every other day and temps never made it above 100 that year. Now I'm farther south. I was going to replace my A/C unit in 2015 because it couldn't keep up in the 104+ summer that year. But for the last two summers, it hasn't gotten above 101 and the A/C has been working fine, so here I sit.

Thanks, we've dropped ”On Oskar Miłosz” from the submission title.
Please be specific. What other build systems do you have experience with?

(Because, honestly, I've never heard of a "good one", but there are "less bad ones".)
We do, while we're not doing anything crazy, ie. support for 3 major OS (Windows, Linux, macOS), 3 major build-system (VC, GNU make, Xcode), 3 different compiler (VC, gcc, and clang), 7 different product packaging (RPM, DEB, TGZ, Windows, Mac, Alpine, Android), as well all kind of debug / release custom setup.

For those into minimalism, systemd is just the straw that broke the camel's back. Over the years the Linux distributions have been adding more and more cruft on top. Systemd was a relatively large chunk of cruft and forced some to look the complexity of the whole system and not like what they saw.
Because the values are normalized to what used to be typical in each measurement location. You can't do an Earth-encompassing graph like that in degrees C because what passes for "normal" or "extremely hot" in Los Angeles is very different from Seattle.

You weren't looking very hard for such solutions, obviously, as you missed 20 years of stuff. The idea that applications do not have to have their own code to daemonize had been around for about a decade and a half before systemd was even an idea, and there were plenty of toolsets that one could employ to manage daemons where exactly this idea was part of the design. I myself was explaining not to make this design mistake before the turn of the century.

I remember using OpenOffice torrents back in 2004 as the equivalent of `:CheckHealth` to see if users had problems with their network configuration, throttling, connection speed, etc because of how perpetually well-seeded they were.

I tried the torrent download just for kicks, and I was pleasantly surprised that was still the case: it downloaded at over 40MiB/s. (yes, MiB/s, not mbps).

It's really about 'core' to the business which relates to vertical integration. How much of your product do you make versus buy? If you are an information business and you make the tools that deliver your product then I think of you as being also a technology business. If you are an information business and you buy the tools that deliver your product then you aren't also a technology business.

Typically companies that have that technology component are able to respond faster, more creatively, and in a much harder to compete with way than companies that buy their base technology from third parties. The get a valuation boost from that.

> I hope fully gplv3'd init wins

That's a bit of an odd thing to focus on (and I say this as a GNU person). But if you're looking for an init under the GPLv3 (or later): the GNU Shepherd fits that query.

https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/

I like the Shepherd but I don't see it winning over people who compare its feature set with other more featureful init systems.
That plan is from 2003. Not familiar with the area, how did it turn out?
Or you can get an iPhone SE, which uses the same SoC as an iPhone 6s starting at $300.

> It's amusing that a company named after the book/film "I, Robot"

The book and film or so un-related it is almost an insult to mention them as if they are the same. While a few character names and the three laws come from Asimov the plot of the movie is mostly original work adapted from a screenplay Hardwired by Jeff Vintar completely unlinked to Asimov's stories.
I don't think "being great" is any more of a differentiator here than anywhere else. In fact here in the Bay Area who you knows matters more than what, just like anywhere else, and in some ways more.

Definitely agree with respect to opportunities, though. Even at double the cost of living or slightly more, the doubled salary means one is saving more in absolute terms and has access to a much better job market.
Hey, sorry this took me a while to respond to -- I have a script which polls HN to custom-order the posts I see, so I am not often on the main site.

SICM is basically a mainline classical mechanics textbook of the form that I was able to do my Bachelor's in, but combined with some tantalizing snippets of Lisp code which make it seem like there's something deeply interesting there, too. There's a magical feeling where you're like "holy crap if I could nail down the mathematical notation a little more and get some of these routines as efficient library built-ins, this would be like a programming sandbox that could teach a student physics by direct interaction."

> What if the company actually hires on one or two engineers to build it? Would that company have made the jump from "non-tech" to "tech"?

Can't speak directly for Chuck, but probably not. Does the company see the software they build as a living organism that needs care and maintenance, as well as adaptation to new technologies and platforms, and do they expect to make more software to solve other business problems in the future?

Hard to tell when hiring one or two engineers what the company's longer-term intentions are.
I've been working professionally in Elixir/Phoenix for the past 4 months.

Summary: It's amazingly productive, pleasant to work with and simple.

Coming from a background spanning Python/Django, C#/.net and Node/Express I really believe it blows them out of the water.

Thank you for all the hardwork of the Phoenix team and the amazing community you've made.
> Why is that now a systemd thing? Just cause systemd is the creepy uncle that likes to touch everything it can? So I'm just gonna pipe that crap into syslog anyway... and don't get me started on LP's shenanigans.

Feature creep falls under the umbrella of sticking to the UNIX philosophy too closely, the first point of the UNIX philosphy is:

> Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new "features".

In any case, I think it's arguable if it's feature creep or not. The goal of an init system is to start your system up, it makes sense that the thing that starts daemons would also monitor them, take logs, and do other support actions as well.

The only complaint I actually agree is that systemd/journald uses a binary format to store logs, but I don't think that's a good enough complaint to warrant all the hatred.
It's on ice. Nobody is building anything in Coyote Valley. But it's a wonderful plan.
Dear lord... it's revealing how little effort you will put into any research or understanding of these results. You come off as proud of your ignorance, and it's not the article's responsibility to cater to your obtuse and idiosyncratic response.

These are average summer temperatures for a network of land based temperature sensors across the entire Northern hemisphere. Please read the source link at the bottom of the article before you ask such frivolous questions. Do you think this work was done by some lone guy in his garage?

Conveying scientific research just feels impossible when this is the kind of response you can get even on a more educated place forum like HN. Depressing...

It's absolutely because the other options for CMake are worse. I don't think my disgust for CMake is entirely predicated on familiarity either--I have much more experience with CMake than I do with Go or Rust's build tools, but I still prefer them. Moreover, as far as I know, none of the new languages are shipping with a fully-imperative, stringly-typed build tool with first class support for dozens of compilers, linkers, package managers, IDEs, version control systems, language libraries, frameworks, precompilers, etc. suggesting they've learned something from hindsight. Instead, the field is narrowing on tools with well-defined responsibilities and interfaces. Instead of knowing about (for example) each compiler, build tools know about a compiler interface that compiler plugins may implement. Instead of writing an imperative script to find your sources, you point your tool to a source directory (if the tool doesn't already assume a convention).

Even if 1% of projects need a fully imperative language, it's absurd to foist that on every other project by default. Besides that, I have a lot of criticism for CMake the language, starting with its implicit import mechanism, ridiculous syntax, everything's-a-string, slow execution speed, etc.
The Preschool Inside a Nursing Home
All this work, and you released the book for free? Are you mad?

Just kidding, but I feel like I need to donate something to you, for all of this; where can I do that?
An overwhelming number of people I know are convinced all of this data has been falsified (usually by Democrats, but I hear all manner of wild conspiracies), and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise. To them summers are not warmer, and anyone who remembers otherwise has a bad memory or isn't old enough to know better.

Is there anything at all we can do to change the minds of such entrenched folks? Or do we just write them off and move on?
The beauty of CMake, for me, is that it can generate both Makefiles and VS2015 files. An example that I've posted here before about was a userland USB driver backed by libusb. I wrote it in idiomatic C++11 (or C++14, don't remember exactly), and amazingly I was able to generate a .so, a .dyld, and a .dll from the same source code, without needing a single #ifdef. Built using gcc on Linux, clang on OSX, and VS2015 on Windows. CMake would output Makefiles on the first two, and a VS solution file on Windows that I could build. I'm still amazed by it a couple years later.
Cargo and Go's build tool are great.

Things not to do when anonymous
or even "A story about how I tried to get my game to go viral and failed".

The game exists, and it's playable. Is it perfect? no. Is it making tons of money? no. But it was developed - you only "fail" to get into game development if you stop trying to make improvements/changes/optimizations.
Well, wait a minute.

The author started with a simple, fun-to-play game, worked on it iteratively until it reached a certain level, did a release push, and continued to iteratively improve the game. (I realize that "fun-to-play" is subjective, but that's the author's call at that point.)

I'm trying to see how this is fundamentally at odds with what you're thinking the approach should be?

If you, as the creator of a game, think dealing with the lag is necessary to making your game fun, then how could you possibly justify not resolving it prior to release?
Well, the iphone...

But the "cost" I'm referring to isn't just money. It's the amount of people who have done it, the expertise that's out there, the incubators, the support networks, the people willing to invest in hardware, etc, etc, etc.
Considering how much Apple is focused on Apple Music, I'm not surprised. Both the Shuffle and Nano don't support the service, only able to sync content within an iTunes library.

It would've been great to see Apple Music support added to either device but I imagine there's many reasons why they couldn't/wouldn't spend the resources doing it.

"Wasabi’s durability is 11 x 9s, the same as Amazon S3. To put that in context, if you stored 1 million 1 GB files in Wasabi, you would expect on average to lose one file every 659,000 years"

Can someone walk me through the math here? I specifically curious about why the size of the file being 1 GB is relevant to the calculation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_heat_island
Exactly.

Another point I'd like to add here: CMake basically takes to you what autoconf/automake can do (+ 5/10 years of improvement on UX/UI), but it:

a) doesn't use absurd amounts of slow shell code trying to detect features that no (non-EOL) OS has been missing for the last 20 years.

b) is actually reasonably readable. (Ok, m4 is sort of readable, but it a bit weird in places.)

c) is actually better documented (IME) than autoconf/automake. What people usually do for autoconf/automake is just copy/paste another project/snippet. .. hence leading to the 20+ years problem. (I'll definitely agree that the docs aren't great, but that's at least a problem that can practically be fixed unlike the copy/paste problem of autoconf/-make.)
Is this something that is in scope for FDA?
re 1.: Support the 10 most used email providers and you will probably cover 99% of users. Most people have a Gmail even if not as their primary email, but so they can use various Google services on Android, or an Apple ID to do the same on an iPhone. Unless you have data that suggests differently, I really don't think this is a valid issue nowadays anymore.

re 2.: If you don't want to use your private email for everything, then you already must have another secondary email, because there is literally no registration process which you can get past without an email. So just use the email which you find appropriate for a given website.

re 3.: Same as 2. You must have any sort of email to register anyway, so whether it's your primary email or your secondary "anonymous" email, it's still the same principle.

re 4.: Not doing something smart today, because there could be potentially a futuristic abuse scenario in some point in the future is not smart. Do what's best today, if tomorrow all email providers turn evil, then re-introduce your own login system, but you'll still need these email providers to verify your users.. so not sure how far you will get... but anyways.. this is a non-existing problem today and probably never going to happen. So why degrade experience and security for a Utopian future?

So yeah... I much rather use a secure and convenient auth system, because it has way too many advantages and we already rely on it, we just don't admit it. Might as well go the full length to get the best experience from it.
