The article now mentions this at the bottom. I think if he were intentionally trying to rip it off he wouldn't have called it "rule of three" because that makes it too obvious. I think he just forgot having seen it.

It's kind of fortunate that it worked out this way; I like seeing people comment on a well-established idea as if it's newly postulated.
Semicolons are valid (especially) when the list items themselves contain commas - such as "its parent company's executive chairman, Eric Schmidt".
Launch HN: FairFunders
My name is Samantha Friedman, and I’m one of the co-founders of FairFunders (https://fairfunders.com). We are building the FairFunders List – it’s a “Yelp for VCs” where diverse founders can rate and review investors.

Inspired by the bravery of women who shared their experiences of unfair treatment at the hands of venture capitalists and well-established companies, seven female founders and I joined forces to start a nonprofit - FairFunders - with a mission to make the fundraising environment more equitable for everyone.

Over the past two months, we worked with the incredible founders of YouMeWho (Vivienne Lee and Luping Lin) to bring the FairFunders List to life on their platform.

We at FairFunders want all founders to know they are valued, and that they have a voice – right here on the FairFunders List.

We aspire to create a culture where VCs hold themselves and their colleagues to high standards of professional behavior. We want to hear the good stories as well as the bad, and shine a light on role models for the VC industry.

But we need your help. We want to hear your feedback so that we can improve the platform and enable it to better serve you. Please rate your investors, and let us know what you think of the platform! Thank you, and we’ll be here to answer your questions.
in sparsely populated areas with dispersed housing, this is not such a big deal.

Hot water and indoor plumbing you can go without. But the lack of clean running water is a massively big deal.
Also not able to use them if you live in the state of Washington.

I want able to find on their site which states they do support so you might want to email them first before setting up an account you can't use.
Or popups? Just imagine how realistic I could make a popup box seem know people will just think that it is from the operating system which I can also detect in another headless window along with another transparent window for bitcoin mining...I think you get the idea. UX yeah this is neat for appliances it will make for more seamless experiences, lets just hope you all are sanitizing inputs and building in secure methods of auth to make the experience worth the risk.
I completely disagree with this perspective. If I did the most carbon-neutral thing and jumped off a building tomorrow it still would not make a difference. And it has really grown wearisome to read "this is why Trump won!!" in response to literally any other perspective or action.
Did he bother thinking about what Google, Facebook and Amazon thought of the idea? Google is the worldwide leader in search because they have an army of the world's brightest engineers working 24/7 on improving their algorithms... Why would those people continue working if you seize their company and tell them they're now public employees? If they wanted to be public employees, don't you think they'd be doing that already? We are, after all, talking about people who have their pick of pretty much any job they want. Google isn't a product that you can bottle up or store in a warehouse. It's made of people. People who might have other opinions.
Google's motto was never "do no evil". Previously, it was "don't be evil".
The new problem here is that the centralization is pretty much the core value of these companies. Breaking them up would destroy that value. A way around is to first standardize and open all the protocols on which they internally operate, and then split them. But you could say that the standardization is in a way an indirect nationalization. If email was run by a company, it would easily be amongst the richest companies in the world.
I work at a makerspace and we teach drone classes to kids. We start with the Inductrix Blade (pretty unbreakable), upgrade its motors, solder on a camera to the power leads and use a cheap FPV headset to fly it around. We then hold nano drone races in our space about once a quarter for the kids.

The Inductrix is a great cheap way to get started with indoor flying that wont poke an eye out.
That's a pretty homogeneous sample. I can't imagine Bergtatt or Beethoven's 6th being as enjoyable on a poorly mastered recording.
If you want this, just press F11 on firefox. Or select from the menu: View / Full Screen. But this has nothing to do with a headless browser.
The issue is that if you can avoid joins long term, then you really either don't have enough data, enough complexity, or very rarely managed to have a data set that doesn't need joins.

If it is option 1 or 2, you just didn't need joins YET. When the time comes that 1 and 2 no longer apply it will be VERY hard to add them.

Sure you can use both types of databases where it makes the most sense but at that point you might as well just use the "NoSql" functionality in the relational db. PSQL does a JSON doc store VERY well and even allows deep joins when time comes.

I personally never saw much benefit to the graph databases. Sure the are great for a few data structures but most of the speed differences came them from being in memory more than anything else. Pretty much everything is fast with a good data structure design and everything in memory.
To be fair, it doesn't say for whom it is the right thing.
Before AWS or their open marketplace model, Amazon provided e-commerce services for established brick-and-mortar retailers (basically, Amazon-run online shops under the established retailers’ names.)

They quite aggressively mined this for data that was used competitively for Amazon's own online retail operations. I'm not surprised that this combined with Amazon making a big move into brick and mortar retail would worry existing retailer, especially Target, who along with Borders was, IIRC, one of the noteworthy retailers that had been dependent on Amazon's earlier service.
They do actually hunt for denser populations of krill. So, IMO it's closer to predator behavior than pure browsing.
I just spent the better part of a week getting myself off of GMail. I'm still using Chrome at work for development, but have Brave browser for personal use now. I'm using DuckDuckGo for searches. I have an iPhone, but honestly, I don't trust Apple to not act like total dumbasses and so I am now lamenting the consolidation in the smart phone space.

Google and these other companies are blowing themselves up over idiotic politics. It may be a trickle today, but it doesn't take much for a trickle to become a raging river of people migrating off your ecosystem. Are you listening Google? Or are you so tone deaf and smug that you can't hear anymore?

Maybe it's time anyways--Google and Facebook are so lame. They are so anathema to what the original Internet was all about. Hint: It's about humanity and open access to ideas, not closed plantations with no diversity of thought allowed.
You don't need a strong math background. I got through a few books (PDSH included) and a couple of MOOCs on data sci/ML over the last couple of years with high school level math skills + some extra reading. Not everything is explained in minute detail but there are plenty of other sources to supplement it if you want to go deeper.
That's not headless, it's chromeless.

Anyway, IE11 on Windows 8 (tablet mode) had that, and it was amazing (assuming you used the touch screen, that is - the UX wasn't so fantastic with a mouse).

It's the only thing from Windows 8 I miss in Windows 10.
The Risks of Investing into ICOs[Initial Coin Offerings]
Golang: Context isn’t for cancellation
As someone who owns stocks of Google and Amazon, I'd like to compare the effect the title of this article had on me, to what a woman would feel if she stumbled upon an article titled "We need to legalize rape : here is why."

I'm all for free speech, but this guy is dancing on a thin line.
I think you've hit it on the head. Mostly you shouldn't be trying to codify what a scraper is, you should be collecting little utilities that are useful for building scrapers. The more lego-like the better.
or does he...

Perhaps like in the matrix where Neo was in his own little mind trap where he was the "One" while the machines still had control.

or inception where your in a dream inside of a dream...

...maybe arguing about this BS is the circus deju to keep
people from really getting involved and actually effecting change in the world.
Franz Kafka had similar wishes, that his friend was to destroy all his work. I can't say I'm "glad" per se that he didn't since such emotions are antithetical to Kafka, but I suppose it is for the best, culturally that his friend went ahead and published them ...

I suppose it's a little different given Pratchett's stuff here was "unfinished" tho Kafka could have argued all his stuff was unfinished too ...
Damn those Hyperspace bypasses!
Object-relational mappers (ORMs) in Python
I don't think it's fair to individualize the problem in that way. Just like yesterday with our security thread, it's not reasonable to expect every individual to go to the extremes necessary to prevent data leakage. There's plenty of excuses and the one you're most likely to get is "I didn't think it was a problem" or maybe "I have a busy life, how can I be expected to do/know that?"
The thing is, these sort of situations (creating dependence) are very hard to pick apart and point out who is at fault.

Say an organization 'A' funds another organization 'B' (maybe non-profit, maybe not), and over time 'B' becomes very dependent on the donations they are getting from 'A'. Then say they start to have a conflict of interest, and 'A' drops funding(which probably kills 'B').

Who's the bad guy here? How should've 'B' known there might be a conflict of interest in the future if not immediately?
Given how much space in newspapers that CEPOS' press releases gets, I'm considering it as being taken serious.

I couldn't put out press release on my amateur research and expect to get articles printed in several national papers, simply because they wouldn't take me seriously.
I'll add that there's an emacs Jupyter mode if that's of any interest.

I agree in principle that a better plaintext format could be interesting, but I don't see how embedding graphs etc could be easily done without a special interface of some kind.

That said I can imagine a mode where you simply have any editor open on one half of the screen and a browser that autorefreshes on the other.. this is more or less how I work with Emacs and Evince when working on Latex and it's great. Synchronising vertical position with the cursor position might be a challenge.
Nexchange launches the first open source/API crypto exchange
Ha! No.
Also worth talking about and springing from similar causes: wetland reduction has made the region more vulnerable to floods, as this local article highlighted a year ago. http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/a...
A market is a market, whether it's distorted or regulated or monopolized or captured or unhealthy. The fact that markets can behave poorly because they are embedded in the wider world is absolutely intrinsic to the concept of a market.
Relevant is this quote from another link recently posted here on HN: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/08/when-it-comes...

"Europe has more stringent privacy regulations than the United States. In general, Americans tend to mistrust government and trust corporations. Europeans tend to trust government and mistrust corporations. The result is that there are more controls over government surveillance in the U.S. than in Europe. On the other hand, Europe constrains its corporations to a much greater degree than the U.S. does. U.S. law has a hands-off way of treating internet companies. Computerized systems, for example, are exempt from many normal product-liability laws. This was originally done out of the fear of stifling innovation."
What email service did you switch to? I'm thinking of doing the same.
That was a hyperbolic response to a hyperbolic claim.
I made a multirotor (a tricopter specifically) out of wood, and it was damned fun. It even flys quite well, when the electronics aren't burnt out or defective. That's been the biggest bummer.
With Chrome and Firefox finally adding a headless mode, could I replace Lynx for Chrome or Firefox?
If U.S or E.U would want to break up Google, how would it realistically work?

I hope we see that happening, the company has become a monster and can literally tell the world what to think and how to feel.

Especially interesting and limiting with the current implementation is the lack of feedback that a cancellation has been properly done.
You've got the wrong author. You are thinking of Douglas Adams.
> It's basically the Breitbart of the left

Please. The Guardian is establishment liberal media. The opinions they publish aren't even that extreme. There are plenty of journals that are far more radical and much further to the left.

It's funny how conservative HN looks when posts like this appear.
Then, how does he deal with the the pentagon? because that needs sqrt(5+sqrt(5)) or something similar with two nested square roots.
This was intended as humor, right?
Not allowing requirements to change like in other engineering disciplines leads to products that nobody wants or components that don't quite do what you need so that you have to implement various workarounds.

Software is so tremendously successful because it's much easier to adapt it to changing requirements.
That's a really terrible comparison, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
centralization isn't the problem, bundling is.

Very similar bug was in Digitalk Smalltalk 25 years ago: conversion from integer to string used a global cache... I notices this while running a batch with progress indicator on UI. Sometimes integer to string conversion in batch didn't work and I couldn't find the reason. After loooooooong period of extensive debugging the issue was pinned down to global cache in integer to string conversion, which was not thread safe. At first Digitalk didn't want to fix it "because of performance issues", but in later versions it was fixed... This bug can cause very serious side effects...
This is very nice. What's the recommended way to run end-to-end tests in headless firefox _and_ headless chrome?

Can't wait for a cross-platform headless Edge :-)
> In my experience only maybe half of people actually use much of what they learned in college in their job.

How on earth is that the _college's_ fault? If a college graduate went on to become a barista, they would be using almost none of what they learned. Would the college somehow be to blame for that too? I think not.
Also of note, the water system built after the 50's as a result of the recurring floodings in the area [1]

With both you can use a normal transmitter if you have one and that's the best way to get a similar experience of real flight. The FrSky is the easiest to setup but a Spektrum can be made to work w/ a special adapter. I like both of them for different reasons.
Wow, I hadn't seen this until now,but it is definitely the best video I've ever watched to explain the basics of digital sampling. Great find!
nope its currently bound to kontraktor actors.
Cows also seek out denser grass, so that hardly destroys the analogy.
Fewer hours. And yeah, I agree -- that's how I got mine done.
C Pitfalls – What will be printed?
No it isn't, the URL is unreliable source of truth with Unicode spoofing attacks and things like that. Safari only shows the domain at this point; the URL is an unimportant implementation detail.
I think the big problem is the ad bubble not Google itself at this point, though these kind of problems still needs to be traced.
The language itself is general purpose, but its community is targeted towards scientific computing, so the ecosystem for web dev isn't (yet?) there.
CEPOs and AE get approximately the same airtime. I don't like any one them but claiming that somehow CEPOS gets more simply isn't supported by evidence.

Furthermore they get less and less time because they do more and more lobbying.

Without looking into it further, it smells like a scam ...
Agreed, and that's to say nothing of the speed at which blindness can occur. Then there's those pesky IR lasers which at the right class level can blind you in wavelengths you cannot see[0].

[0] Which to me has always been one of those "hard to believe things" and, indeed, I've never worked with an IR laser or tested this (nor would I be interested in doing so) but I can't think of something more terrifying (related to blindness, anyway) than walking into a room, looking at something, seeing nothing particularly interesting and then ... seeing nothing at all ever again.
And yet, it's an interface, as a user you don't notice this performance improvement at all - it returns a string version of an (immutable) data structure, how it does that and whether it caches it is not something that the client can control, and thus not something they should care about too much.

What they should and will care about is the performance of BigDecimal.toString(), and if it's cached then the 2nd and onward calls will be very fast.

Mind you, I'm sure there's a lot of similar optimizations in a lot of toString() implementations; a generic implementation that is threadsafe would be preferable to a roll-your-own-caching.
Climate change is the most likely reason behind rising sea levels, however, Houston is far enough inland to not have gotten any storm surge. What happened was the storm stalled over top of the city instead of moving on through. This meant that it picked up water on the south-east side of the storm and dropped it on the north-west side, right over the neighborhoods. And did it over a couple of days.

What it was .. was a severe rainfall event.

And the photo she led with, with the people walking along the highway divider? Houston's road network is designed to be a last-resort flood buffer to collect rainwater temporarily until it can drain to the east into the ship canal. So yeah, that's going to happen.

The good news is the $700+ million in FEMA money that was spent over the years since Katrina to prevent flooding at the city's medical centers appears to have worked. They stayed open.
Because we're angry.

I had no problems with sysv init since the 80s and SVR2. Did it exist before? I'm only drawing on personal experience.

I have failed to see any benefits of systemd and it has only caused me problems. Most in my circle agree with this, and I have never heard someone express gratitude that systemd exists. We feel it has been forced upon us, and we don't want to make a full time job out of maintaining our own platforms to be rid of it.

We are crotchety old men who have generated hundreds of millions of dollars (maybe more) for our employers and customers. We have never had a problem with init. Compared to ourselves, we think Lennart is a noob and examining his work leads us to conclude that he has no rational foundation of applied computing.

The software developers I've known in my career have all been professional and responsible. Our industry has zero tolerance for failures and hazards. During ten years I worked there, one place shipped one defect that I found out about, and the manager who signed off on it after incomplete testing lost his career. I deal with bad software every day and wish more of the industry had this focus on quality. I used to respect rhel because of their QA, now they hired this guy, did he even have a job before?

I wish Lennart the best in his quest to make a Windows out of what used to be Unix, with his audio mixer and cli version of 'services.exe.' Legions of misguided people who believe that Linux is the golden desktop OS for laypeople will certainly appreciate this. However I hope I never meet him because I do not want to pay his hospital costs.
Nope. mvn still reuqires a native node install. In addition it does not provide JSX rendering import shims and bundling
To deal with pentagons you need to extend the field of rationals by an additional element. Wildberger is kind of ambivalent about finite field extensions.

Please read the above advice! In 2008, I saw the crash coming. I got tipped off, kind of: My bank was NetBank and it was the first one to fail. I pulled all my money out of stocks and sat out the crash. Brilliant, right? Yeah, except in 2010, I didn't re-invest it! I sat on a lot of cash and missed out on tons of gains. So while I preserved my wealth (and that was dicey because Money Markets nearly collapsed and that's where all my "cash" was). Had I stayed invested I would have taken some paper losses but I would have come out further ahead by now.

My one concern is that these markets are just pretend bs because of QE and the effects money printing has had on all assets.
Changing furniture demo with ARCore in the browser
Yeah, I think it is a mistake to try and think about the market and the political environment as two separate spheres rather than deeply linked entities constantly influencing each other. There is no such thing as "free market" without a government creating the conditions for one, whether that means subsidizing flood insurance or creating a navy to force other countries to go along with free trade (a development largely coinciding with the rise of laissez-faire theory).
Distributed systems engineering explained
What's your point? They acknowledge taking inspiration from another city where they already implemented this 20 years ago, that these particular ways of coping with climate change are considered proven technology, and that the only thing preventing more wide-spread adoption is political will.
Another ICO scam ? (though the "scam" bit is redundant)
It's not only npm, its also jsx transpilation, bundling (incl. a shim of npm, es6 imports and html-imports) and java-javascript interfacing.
