I disagree; I think that's just a lazy way to look at an unfamiliar field.

Likewise, plenty of clueless non-techies suspect techies are intentionally making tech seem complicated. Why can't Apple make a back door for the FBI and nobody else?
That's it though, it very often does just work.

Without vendor support and with barely any investment from manufacturers, the Linux community is still pushing on to get things to a point where your dog could install it.

Your experience is an anomaly they're trying hard to eradicate.
Hello this list is too comprehensive and exhausting. Could somebody filter or sort this list by importance of each task? Ie you must absolutely do these tasks but if you skip these other tasks no big deal.
So everytime there is an error on the list, all adblockers have to be re-released to start using the new address?

Doesn't sound very practical.
Wow, this is the most in-depth analysis of dodgy Bitcoin trading I've ever seen.

Is this kind of thing still possible, or do exchanges prevent it these days?
There is not clear purpose in sinking it deliberately with the woman inside in front of a lot of people and say that she was not here. Bones will remain and everybody knows where is the sunken sub. Lets suppose instead that there was (hypothetically) a lot of blood in the sub. To what extent would the evidence be erased in salt water? could you find blood remains in sea lice/other invertebrate's guts or in trapped water bags?

Going further in the idea, could the researchs analyze the biocenosis of animals trapped inside the sub in search of an anormal number of species of animals atracted by corpses? If there was blood or organic remains or a missing/hidden corpse a lot of scavengers will detect it from Km and came in a hurry.
There is a basic rule: all languages carrying Lisp in their name implement much of the core of McCarthy's Lisp:

Emacs Lisp, ISLISP (which is defined by an ISO standard) Standard Lisp, Common Lisp (which has an ANSI Standard), ...

Languages in the wider Lisp family, which are more or less incompatible (Logo, Clojure, Dylan, ...) don't use Lisp in their name.
ElementaryOS seems to be going in the right direction. But I suppose the main "thing that works" is to have a team of people that actually enjoy making software usable by the masses rather than solving X for their own needs.
How Oracle tackles licensing discrepancies
Audio has "just worked" for years now, thanks to PulseAudio. Video was a mess for a while, but now it will generally work great out of the box if you've got Intel or AMD graphics. Nvidia is still a mess, but Nouveau will work fine for non-gaming stuff.

Man down: why do so many suffer depression in silence?
As I understand it, this is the result of Google itself having quite a strong political opinions, at least recently. They profiled themselves as being leftist/progressive... their software just enforces this.

The Ultimate Weight Loss Program in Dubai
Don’t-The secret of self-control
For me a perfect web browser is something hackable, made of tiny replaceable blocks (buzzword: microservices) as small as realistically possible, not a single binary. Everything I saw are basically monoliths. Even Surf and uzbl are, except for they move tab management and UIs away.

Would, e.g., persistence (cookies) be handled by a completely separate program, that just talks text-based protocol on the stdin/stdout, all sort of stuff (containers/multiple identities, self-destructing cookies, various tracking protection mechanisms, etc etc) would be a matter of wrapping it.

Would all networking be done by a separate process, adblocking (even in-websocket), experimental protocols (like IPFS), ensuring all the traffic would go through Tor, or just "user agent switcher" would be possible without core being even aware such things are possible. Caching could be an another program that facades this.

And non-core stuff, like history, bookmarks, saving passwords or syncing feels like something that should be separate programs that only interact with the core to obtain or inject the necessary information.

Of course, there needs to be a manager process that spawns necessary services (including extensions sitting in the middle, so it's also an extension manager, not just tab manager) and routes communications between them, so user doesn't have to do any programming unless they actually want to.

That's not a design, just a general idea^W^W some musing that mostly came out of frustration when I've tried to hack upon Firefox code, trying to rip out their accounts+sync implementation and replace it with something sane and simple.

I'm dreaming of this kind of thing for a few years, but haven't got anywhere - just greased some paper with silly diagrams and toyed with Servo a little bit, but nothing practical. Just writing this because I never saw similar suggestions and maybe it would resonate with someone.
FF Chartwell, a Font Generating Charts Through Opentype Ligatures
And people who expect others to pay for them to have the "community" they want (pay to support them living without jobs because there are no jobs they can do in that area) are not greedy? If Jane works hard to move to the city and do something others value enough to pay for, why should she have to support Jo staying back in their hometown because Jo doesn't want to experience the hardship of moving?

In my experience, people who call others greedy are expecting others to do something for them while giving nothing back in return. Economics means A gives B something B wants in exchange for B giving A something A wants. People who oppose this seem to think that A should give B something without B giving anything back in return.
Very good point, did think about that, but until now still not very sure about business model. At the beginning, when we build it, we want to have a editor for people to easily type and share their Math (even without knowing LATEX). Will definitely consider/think about Integration, or somethings else ...

Thanks.
> So to put it into the perspective you're espousing, these women are simply negotiating their rate after the fact.

The time for that would have been before the fact, not after the fact. You can't just change a bilateral agreement in hindsight and on your own accord unless you are Darth Vader "altering the deal", which might actually be the best analogy for what's happening here, dark side and all.

Order book spoofing still happens all the time.

"Related to fleeting orders (inevitable order cancellations), laying involves adding volume at various price levels with the sole intention to influence other market participants into believing (observing) an order book imbalance or strong buying/selling pressure."

As a trader, this is something you should be learning to spot.

Oh, please. When are going to stop making objective comparisons between the Real World and crazy Utopias?

If we are getting closer to living in a post-scarcity world, it is thanks to these "horrible" things Capitalism brings us like private property, freedom to enterprise, rule of law that enables trade, etc, etc.

"In Socialism people have more free time to pursue their interests"? People in North Korea are more busy trying not to starve to death. Venezuela is facing shortages of toilet paper, and their government is pushing for forced labor. How can one even think that there will ever be a society rich enough to afford people universally free to do whatever they want?

Humanity currently is like a young child. We throw temper tantrums, make big messes and refuse to clean them up. We're terrible stewards of the earth and we serve no purpose as a species higher than existing and reproducing. We must grow up. But the fact that we're talking animals driven by primal urges makes this impossible through nurture alone. Either we change ourselves to the point of being a different species, or we build the better people we should have been and go quietly into the night. Either way, humanity as it exists today can't be the template for the future. Whatever comes next may call itself human, but it won't be homo sapiens.
I have to go to work to have an income, I have to go to a supermarket to get food. You can’t even order stuff online without getting a mailman at the door.

For further reading on Gödel, Rebecca Goldstein's Incompleteness is a great book. It is a biography of Gödel but also places his work in the context of the philosophical debates of the time.
He allegedly dropped her off right around the corner from the sub's dock. It is technically an island, but it is right in (and part of) the Copenhagen harbour.

That makes the story all the more strange - they ride around for a few hours (19:00-23:00), then he drops her off back at the sub's dock, and then he sets out again and cruises around all night alone, next being seen some 40 miles away, at which point the sub promptly sinks.
So does Gödel's incompleteness theorem apply to scientific knowledge? I mean, as I understand it, he proved that any useful logical system contains statements that can neither be proved true nor false. But does that apply to quantum mechanics, for example? Are there self-referential statements in QM?

Had you used Self-Destructing Cookies and if yes - have you, by chance, found any replacement?

I only know about Cookie AutoDelete, and it's great that it exists but, sadly, it's not yet mature enough - mostly because WE APIs are lacking. For example, there is no localStorage support, and there are bugs like https://github.com/mrdokenny/Cookie-AutoDelete/issues/83

(The discovery of anandamide came from research into CB1 and CB2, as it was inevitable that a naturally occurring (endogenous) chemical would be found to affect these receptors.) Gene's also seem to play a role https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/03/08/opinion/sunday/the-fee...
There is top hype in ai but also in neuroscience.
Actually there aren't scientific evidences that mind and coscience are materiale and born from the brain.
Also the emotions are really important in the logic and thinking process.
So without coscience and enotions we can't have real think on a machine.
Chrome is already built this way - tons of independent services running in separate processes or threads with limited permissions. The problem is that all the systems are deeply interdependent, so debugging or modifying the system involves reading and understanding the whole codebase.
Since you asked, it's not about cost. I've never owned a television, so I find the whole thing quite bizarre. Whenever I see how friends and family use their TVs in their houses and what plays on them, it redoubles my desire to never own one. I don't mean to be that guy, and it's not like I don't squander my time on trivia pursuits (I'm on HN, after all). But the quality is just so bad, and the ads so obnoxious. Maybe you don't notice if you're accustomed to it?

I know that in the last 10-15 years there have been a handful of great shows. Real works of art. But a house doesn't need more than one TV for such intentional viewing. Surrounding yourself with TVs flabergasts me.

But I don't think you're strange. You're normal; I know I'm the strange one.

The unemployment rate for CS grads in the UK is 10%, one of the highest. It's been up as high as 13% in recent years. The skills shortage is a complete myth designed to lower wages by inflating supply.
> I should do everything that is in my power to help myself, I shouldn't expect help from others.

That's a seriously dangerous mindset and one of the main reasons why we are dealing with a burn-out epidemic and generally massive mental health issues.

Some people are just really bad at asking for help, whether it's because they don't want to admit they ain't "perfect" and hurt their pride or because they simply don't realize they are in way over their head.

The result is that many people set themselves up to fail as they refuse to ask for help even when there's plenty of it aviable and they are clearly in need of it because they fear it might devalue their achievements by not having it done "on their own".
Not explicitly. Instead, his/her argument has the form: "Every country claims to be the important country, and nationalists are bad, so it can't be Britain."

I commented because I thought that argument was badly constructed.

Of course, anyone can guess whether the argument's author supports the alternative argument (as you claim).

From a historical-software/UI perspective, I'm curious what that Motif software looks like, and how, er, findable it is.

Studying old systems that have fallen by the wayside can often be instructive.
It applies to any formal system powerful enough to encode the properties of the natural numbers.

Quantum Mechanics, as a formal system can encode the natural numbers, and thus can form a substrate for self referential Gödel encoding. The same principles would apply to a quantum system, and any other capable of encoding natural numbers.

> This is a really bizarre assertion: my bubble is such that I've literally never met someone (that I'm aware of, just as with your claim) who _doesn't_ pay their credit cards off in full each month.

That's one hell of a bubble. Almost no one does this. Source: worked customer service for an issuer for 18 months, ~150 calls/day, saw a broad cross-section of the customer base, and it was a rare day in which I talked to a monthly PIF.

Not so incidentally, that experience is also the reason why I so assiduously avoid revolving credit. If you're comfortably upper-middle-class or higher and assured of enough liquidity to cover whatever balance you choose to carry, it's a game you can play and win. If you're not, you're subsidizing those who are, not least because you're ineligible for the low-rate, high-credit-line points card products that monthly PIFs tend to qualify for.

And even if you're in the former category, it's still a hell of a risk to take, because if anything happens that negatively affects your liquidity in a significant way, you're suddenly a lot more screwed than you would be if you hadn't been using credit the way you were. A few times, I dealt with people who had found themselves in just that hole. There were worse kinds of calls to take, but not all that many.
And the remaining 10% will give a tirade of verbal abuse before hanging up - cold calling in the UK is not welcome.
Well, in that way, there's no undocumented proprietary software either. The documentation is just in an even more technical language, called machine code.
Maybe people should get their shit together and realize that true free speech include allowing videos that seek to recruit people into despicable organizations be available! Yeah, even Hitler had a right to say what he thought and it'a a good thing he had it, despite the consequences that ensued.

The problem that needs to be solved is how to educate people into not being lured into those organization DESPITE having access to those materials... This kind of censorship is just as STUPID as banning drugs like heroin and cocaine (instead of just making them unavailable to children, or without a "license") or the "war on drugs".

Imho the problem comes from the fact that corporations try to hard to be "democratic" about things and "please the majority". But this is not a good idea: sometimes the majority of 99% is against freedom, and they are wrong, despite being the 99%. And the majority should be opposed and freedom protected even when the cost is someone's blood. For me personally, there are these words from my native country's national anthem: "life in freedom or death [for all]"... and I will sure as hell fight, die or kill for them.
Broadcast something interesting to your city and find other users on hackernews
Hey, We have a school project called Spotwire which is an app which broadcast your live photos and videos in your city but due to the fewer users the post can be been seen around the world, for now, so now people who are using hackers news can see from where others are from and explore their cities.

We need few users for testing for feedbacks.

The app may have some bugs but it will be updated soon

The app is in IOS only.

Let us know the review so we can make improvements to make a better project.

Please no negative comments we need genuine help

Thank you
I'd love to find a time series of those proportions; my sense is that 29.7% is wildly overestimated, but it has been a very long time since I was in that business myself. Curious whether the proportions have changed, or whether my perspective at that time was skewed by the nature of my tier 1 customer service role.
I'm going to disagree with that ABET part being preferable. Stanford's CS program isn't ABET. It's an outdated notion and very limiting to CS programs, since it forces certain classes instead of potentially more modern ones. Also very few employers will care. Just go to a good non profit school with a real campus.

Mechanical engineering would be different since it is far more regulated than software development.
I think it's more likely there'd be operating restrictions/conditions put in place instead.
I feel like YouTube uses its monopoly to create a walled garden focused on (in their own words) advertiser-friendly content.

The thing is, it makes perfect sense from their side - they will make people angry, but why would they bother if those people can't go anywhere else?

I'm starting to feel that a competitor providing the same quality of service while allowing all kinds of videos has a chance to succeed. It's OK to have both child videos, porn and Syrian documentation, as long as you can filter - maybe have some sort of a "curiosity" slider that filters child content on one side, YouTube content in the middle and all content to the other side. Also some category toggles,... If you're unhappy with the current selection, just take a few minutes of your time and change your preferences.
True, but experience is often what helps gets you in the interview seat to begin with, and also helps with salary negotiation.
As someone who invests in Index Funds this does worry me. Surely we can't all invest in Index Funds and still have everything work?

I don't think it's an issue for now, but something to keep an eye out for 10, 20 years into the future once many more people move into Index Funds.
Sure, but it hadn't been done before. They say they'll go for 5v5 next year, and if it wins I'm sure we'll move the goal posts further again.
It is more subtle than you think. In the UK the Consumer Credit Act means that the protections offered to the buyer are vastly better when paying by credit card vs debit card. Particularly online, you would be foolish to pay by debit rather than credit. That also drives consumer behaviour.

One thing that is hard to have in a lifestyle business, especially one that is combined with constant travel, is innovation. A lot of people do startups because they want to create something radically new and impossibly ambitious, something that doesn't currently. If that is what drives you then doing web dev consulting will not be very exciting, even if you do it from a beach in Bali.

A key difference from OCaml's modules (besides the lack of type parameterization) is Liskov's data types have associated data. So it's more like Rust's structs. Also, like in Rust, there is no support for multiple implementations of a single signature.
