skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Thank you again.

No, what I meant by:

>> "I may just want 5GB out of my 3TB, even for that "the browser restore interface" is just sad"

Browsers are usually (or maybe never) good for downloading very large files. For example I am downloading a 6GB file or ZIP from BB using my browser and it crashed when I was done downloading 5.6GB. In most cases those 5.6 GBs would be gone and I will have to start over. Where as in a desktop or some kind of download manager/helper (which will have my login state/credentials just like Backblaze app has) it can be done over a period of time and will withstand machine going to sleep, shutdown, network disconnection etc.

But since you mention:

> what if we built something that looks IDENTICAL to the local Finder or Explorer but in a web page would that make some people more happy?

As I've mentioned above - it was about the functionality and not the look and feel.

And, imho, it will really be good if you could move the "restore" functionality to the main BackBlaze app:

- where I can see my files and hopefully available versions too and select version > file at that version or version > then files at that version (some apps first let a time to be selected and then files at that time are available for restore - and some apps do the opposite)

- or, at the least I can do all that on the web and the BackBlaze app starts restoring when it connects to the Internet again in a folder designated by me (

- restores retain the same folder structure. e.g., I am restoring a.png which was at ~/MyFolder/A/B/C/Z/B/A/CoolPics/a.png and restore function dumps it like this ~/<BackBlaze Restore Folder>/a.png. Ideally it should give me option to either dump just the file or give me the restore like this: ~/<BackBlaze Restore Folder>/MyFolder/A/B/C/Z/B/A/CoolPics/a.png or at least recreate it where it was and if another copy with the same name exists, rename the other file but this (latter) option will be a mess in case of many files

> I can ALMOST guarantee you the Backblaze data retention policy is about to change

That's very good to hear. Probably the best thing I head since yesterday :-)

PS. Please make sure this retention is something really cool and preferably not something like "well, let's make it 2 or maybe 3 months from 1" :-)

Because, as you must be knowing, the point of backup is that if I am looking for an important Excel sheet file after 7 months and somehow it was corrupted or deleted I'll turn to my backup and with a short retention it would have been gone forever defeating the purpose of my backup.

While we are at it, here's another feedback: Maybe start warning users when Backblaze sees some files (it was backing up previously) deleted before actually deleting them from archive (mark for deletion in a month or so). Maybe let the user do some action like "yeah, go ahead get rid of them", or "Uhuh, didn't mean to delete them - please restore it or put it where it should have been".
> The 2nd degree murder charge means that the killing was NOT "willful, deliberate, and premeditated."

The choice of charge just means that the prosecution is not yet convinced that it was a planned attack, as opposed to a spontaneous decision. Additional evidence might cause them to change their mind. In any case, it does indicate that they do not regard it as an accident.

Is a Muslim man who gets enraged by a gay couple kissing and stabs them an Islamist terrorist? I have no idea, but he might very well be tied to an organized movement that encouraged his behavior, and then I'd definitely call it terrorism, even if it wasn't the result of long-term planning.
My sources say the number was 600 million.
> Was on the front page for a brief moment is how I actually discovered it and the link. Gone after I finished reading it, doesn't show as 'flagged' yet but it's definitely been removed cause I can't find it in the top 5 pages.. unfortunate.

This really surprised me!

I feel like this is evidence that HN cultivates content beyond merely 'flagged'/'removed'.

I've never thought that lobste.rs "moderation log" feature was very interesting until now.
> Since this font is very similar to Roboto, glyph outlines from Roboto are indeed being used, mainly as "placeholders" while the glyph set is expanded. The Roboto license can be found in the source directory.

Mainly?

If this is a deliberate near-clone of Roboto, then at the very least there should be some explanation of how it differs and why.
One problem in C++ is if you define a struct then you have to define a bunch of operators yourself (operator<, etc.) which gets annoying after you've realized you've needed them a bunch of times.
While it looks cool, this seems to be the equivalent of swatting a fly with a humvee.
Because in the days of lower resolution screens the commonly accepted (correct) view was that a serif font reduced readability.

Maybe not Nazis, but violent bigots are quite abundant. 19 trans women have been murdered just this year, and that's just what gets reported. I hear personal accounts from LGBTQ friends daily about threats and actual violence. Then there's all the other stuff people like me deal with: losing housing, jobs, family because we finally got up the courage to live as who we are rather than what powerful sections of society expect us to be.

I'm a lot more afraid of someone who's decided it's time to "show them queers who's boss" with me as the target than someone who wants to keep that same person off Medium. There are ample publishing opportunities for bigots. Unlike refusing to serve someone at the only grocery store in town, one of a million publishing outlets refusing to take an article has minimal effect.

Relevant aside: the picture of the Nazi book burning often shown when talking about free speech was from a clinic in Germany that researched and supported LGBTQ people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_f%C3%BCr_Sexualwissen...

Good stuff.

What I think would be a really nice killer app would be using OCR to extract formulas directly into Matlab code. Would be awesome for reproducibility studies or just people trying to implement algorithms for whatever reason.

Anyone know if there's an app for that already?
Good highlights there. Just one correction: Dodgeball was bought by Google and was pretty actively used in SF tech scene before the acquisition. So doesn't really fall into a category of a sideproject that went nowhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if such feedback loops have been excluded from the models of climate change because they paint a picture so dire that no amount of mitigation (if there were any serious attempts at mitigation going on) could save our way of life.

"Sooner and worse than expected" is a phrase I expect to hear with increasing frequency.
I'll let the parent answer you (though I have similar sentiments as someone with language implementation experience, and FWIW, I have professional experience with Go, Ruby, JavaScript, Clojure, C#, and I've used Haskell, F#, and much more in my free time).

I will, however, point out that you're likely using a different definition of simple ("easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.
") than is often used in technical circles ("composed of a single element; not compound"). Simplicity and ease are distinct, and one does not necessarily imply the other; it's not hard to find convoluted designs that feel easy due to familiarity, while a much smaller, consistent design will feel difficult because the concepts (while fewer in number) are foreign.

Rich Hickey (creator of Clojure) gave a great talk on easy vs simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI8tNMsozo0

Here's something familiar to most professional web developers: JavaScript.

But it's also complicated: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

Here's the spec: https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/8.0/index.html

And here's something unfamiliar and often considered difficult: lambda calculus.

And yet it's very simple. Here's the entire definition of lambda expressions (lifted from Wikipedia):

---

Lambda expressions are composed of:

* variables v1, v2, ..., vn, ...

* the abstraction symbols lambda 'λ' and dot '.'

* parentheses ( )

The set of lambda expressions, Λ, can be defined inductively:

1. If x is a variable, then x ∈ Λ

2. If x is a variable and M ∈ Λ, then (λx.M) ∈ Λ

3. If M, N ∈ Λ, then (M N) ∈ Λ

Instances of rule 2 are known as abstractions and instances of rule 3 are known as applications.

---

So, while JavaScript programmers might find the lambda calculus unapproachable, it would be difficult to argue that the former has fewer gotchas than the latter, as the former is wildly complicated and the latter is so simple that you could fit its definition on business card. Once you appreciate the difference between simplicity and ease you can better evaluate your options, as it might be worth investing time in learning an intimidating, foreign solution if you believe that it will provide better stability/correctness guarantees/etc. Also, simple things are generally easier to work with compared to complex things assuming a similar degree of experience -- so investing in unfamiliar-yet-simple things will often save you a lot of effort in the long run. Strictly adhering to familiar things is a recipe for being stuck in a local optimum.

To take this full circle, Go being easy doesn't mean that it's simple.
I love the concept.
I would love to have anentry point to cost function with the following parameters:

- type of street
- a way to represent the distance overhead compare the other segments.

You're pretty close. Basically they used to be about the price of a nice car, but it become fashionable to sue the pants off everyone who was involved with the manufacture of the airframe if it was involved in a crash, fatal or not. An entire sector of lawyers emerged, taking advantage of lax regulation surrounding liability in the sector. This began at the end of the 70s and the prices skyrocketed to the point where Cessna actually ceased production of the 172 airframe. Congress had to get involved and passed the GA Revitalization Act which, among other things, limited liability duration on airframes. This was enough to cause the 172 to return to production but I've heard that something like half of the total cost of a new 172 is for liability insurance. This become apparent when you start to look at newer designs that have similar price tags and seat counts like the SR-20/22 line. For $330k you get a skyhawk that can barely break 110ktas. For $400k you get a composite Cirrus with better performance than a 182 (the next level up in Cessna's line). It's also possible that the inclusion of the whole airframe parachute system in the Cirrus design was enough to get the insurance companies to give them a little more of a break.

The other big factor is the construction. Cars are largely stamped and then welded together. Aircraft are either stamped/milled aluminum that is then manually riveted together (production volumes are orders of magnitude lower than cars so no robots are used) or they are made of fiberglass/carbon fiber composite which is even more labor intensive to form. The issue with the comparison with cars is that they're way cheaper than they reasonably should be because of the sheer volume that they produce. In the time it takes cessna to build one plane, ford can pump out 1000 new cars.

Yeah there have been quantifiable "bubble bursts" multiple times.

By disproportionate I meant that it feels like a slightly condensed font without really being a condensed font. This paired with this too small letter spacing creates this disproportionate look.

Another poster just commented that it looks like Roboto (or is even based on Roboto) and Roboto faces the same issues but not that worse. Roboto itself is a mutated Helvetica Neue which is admittedly a reference sans serif where every other sans looks inferior amd kind of turned out badly in comparison.

>What you are suggesting is like designing how a hotel will look before you know where it will be or how big it will be.

Well, you know most things. You know you're making a car, you know it will have LIDAR, you know it will be self driving etc. You are free to (and if you want to win time, you pretty much got to) design the car, the interior, materials, displays, etc -- even the transmission, engine and wheels -- independently of the self-driving algorithms.

If and when those self-driving algorithms are ready, you don't then have to spend another 1 year to design the rest.

There's not any real dependency between them -- so much that you can even test your self driving algorithm in ANY random car as almost all companies do. It's not like being a self-driving car dictates the car form and the latter has to be designed around that property.

(That said, before even Google's car and the self-driving hype, a lot of rumors insisted on Apple merely making an electric iCar -- Tesla competitor, not some full self-driver type 5).

>Apple did not do that because they "knew what they would need, so let's get started", they did that because they had no clue how to make a self driving car, but despite that, the team needed to show something, anything.

I, for one, have no doubt that Apple got some top notch researchers in ML and driving car technology. I also have no doubt they got some top notch car guys (plain car). I also have no doubt that there's nothing to know about "how to make a self driving car" that the Apple team doesn't know (or any team for that matter), apart the ML/self-driving algorithm aspects. So there was nothing about the form of the car holding them back.
Definitely. Anchoring bike lines or bike infrastructure to any one sub-set of people is asinine. Hell, linking bike riding with any one sub-set of people is problematic.Spend any time around a bike co-op and you'll see that lots of people need bikes and bike lanes — from decked-out road bikers to those of lower income who don't own a car, and yeah, maybe some hipsters with fixies.

That part of the article left a nasty taste in my mouth. The only reason anyone would make such a statement would be to backup their own shortsighted, backward-looking way of thinking.
Ask HN: UI/UX advice for Clubs
I built Clubs, a web app powered by Slack that provides channels for instructors with a review and rating system.

But I feel like something is missing in the design and UX, like it could be more readable, or the mission is hard to understand.

I also feel like the design is missing something.

Any advice?
It's correct if you take "without branch prediction" to include any pipelining of instructions after a branch.

The very first branch prediction algorithm ("predict taken") is to simply enable pipelining by assuming the generally more likely branch.

>...this seems to be assuming that 100% of branches are guessed incorrectly...

Rather, it's assuming that 100% of branches are not guessed at all.
> What may be initially most important to C programmers is memory safety in the form of array overflow checking, no more stray pointers into expired stack frames, and guaranteed initialization of locals.

Are there any docs about this anywhere? http://dlang.org/spec/betterc.html doesn't really describe this stuff.
"The study, based on aircraft measurements of carbon dioxide and methane and tower measurements from Barrow, Alaska, found that from 2012 through 2014, the state emitted the equivalent of 220 million tons of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere from biological sources (the figure excludes fossil fuel burning and wildfires).

That’s an amount comparable to all the emissions from the U.S. commercial sector in a single year."

I don't think this is specific to Alaska - there's something similar going on in Siberia and other places where melting permafrost has the potential to do serious damage.

Thanks for your great question. I'm not sure how much you'll like my answer though.

I think you can, if you think you can, and can't, if you think you can't.

In other words, it's a matter of belief, action, and continuing motivation.

Of course I don't know your exact circumstances but controlling your expenses is only part of the equation. If you've trimmed your expenses down to the bone it's now time to focus on increasing your income while maintaining low expenditure. Most people don't do this and their spending grows faster than their income does. The mentality you want to avoid is "Get a raise? Buy a bigger/better (x)!"

So until you control your income with the discipline of a general controlling an army during war, the amount of money you make is irrelevant. A great example is sports personalities or entertainers that end up broke.

Assuming you've got that discipline, a sure fire money making scheme is a second job but this is where you can get creative... such as going around your neighbourhood and washing windows/cars/lawn mowing. The internet has flipped this idea on its head so you could freelance late at night after you've tucked the children in bed.
Whatever you do make sure it is bringing in cash right now and not some risky or highly speculative idea.

Imho you've got to earn the right to speculate and you can make sound decisions under high levels of risk when you know you got a properly funded emergency fund and pension.

But yeah, there was a reason why I emphasized LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. If your life depended on you getting 1000 Euros in one week you would come up with the money. If your life depended on you getting 6 months worth of expenses you would come up with the money. If your life depended on putting 15% of your income each month into your pension you would do it... you get the picture.

The sad thing is peoples' lives do depend on this stuff but they don't act like it does.
They will babble about 4 hour flight times (and not mention that they're talking about 4 hours at <50kts) but at the end of the day, everyone has to contend with the same battery tech. All current airframes in the category are looking at about an hour of 65% power.

A good rule of thumb is that nobody is going to be getting more than twice the flight time of a state of the art quadcopter.
It's probably safer to assume that we're pretty much screwed at keeping the status quo and we need to start researching ways for humanity to survive the resulting changes. Of course, we should still keep ongoing efforts to curb and eventually eliminate the emission of greenhouse gases in effect, but we're past the point of pretending the worst case isn't possible.
