So set yourself a 140 character limit when you write a list on your blog? In this case though, I really wish there was more substance to the list, because I'm finding it a little difficult to see what exactly he means. As another commenter here said: "I wish the author included more info explaining their reasoning." which, of course, doesn't work in a 140 character limit.

My personal opinion is that for-twitter content has always been sub-par compared to for-blog content, at least in my experience, and Twitter is really just useful for sharing links to other content. But that's just my opinion based on my experience. Obviously your experience is very different from mine! Luckily we have a good mix of content, so we can both be happy.

I also find Twitter incredibly difficult to find things on, so unless I happen to check it at exactly the right time (when you post it but before other people I follow post too much), there's a big chance I'll never see it[1]. I also find the way the replies are threaded difficult to navigate.

[1] On HN, popular things stay at the top of the list for a few hours, so the chances of me seeing things here are much higher and obviously submissions like this one mean that I do see the twitter content.
I wasn't - but now I am, thanks!

I have enabled it and will get to try it in 12 hours from now.

Twilight has Hue integration, gentle transition, and a few other nifty features, which I'm probably not going to want to abandon - though I'm sure the native feature will gently encourage me to re-fit out my Home with a confusingly named Google product.
my understanding is what you're talking about only applies for traditional conduction/convection, where you're expecting moving air/water/... to act as a heat-transfer medium, so you want to maximize your surface area of your radiator and fluid flow rates to facilitate that transfer.

what they're doing here is shifting the transmission characteristics of radiation to be within the infrared window (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_window) so that it's kind of like surrounding air (and water vapor, most importantly) aren't present at all and you're radiating in to the giant cold heatsink that is space.
The games aren't really about the language--which have maybe 12 instructions at most--they're about the challenge of working with an extremely limited instruction set. They're puzzle games disguised as games about assembly languages. A game using a real instruction set might be fun for some people, but it would feel a lot different, and probably have to be a lot more challenging to make up for all of the convenient instructions. At that point you're basically just programming.
I like the Windows 10 UI. It's a lot better than 8 and 8.1. I like it better than 7 too for the most part.

I'm not in SV. Just a general observation. Younger people know _how_ to do things, but they don't know _what_ to, and even more importantly what not to do.

As you age, you will discover that junior devs are much faster at accomplishing well defined tasks, but, as a rule, utterly helpless with anything open ended/complicated/requiring foresight and experience. Your value will be in helping them navigate things they can't navigate themselves.

Yup, but I like it even more out of the way - the Tasker / script approach to (via the API) tell it to snooze notifications for some years is likely the best bet.

Nobody looked into Eich's voting record. Eich donated to a campaign against gay marriage, and donations above a certain threshold are public record. Gay people and people who support civil rights who are strong enough coders to work for Mozilla will easily find employment at any of a number of other Bay Area employers run by people who support them. Mozilla was losing developers[1], and Eich took the reasonable action of stepping down instead of destroying his organization. You can imagine a CEO spending money to bring back California's antimiscegenation laws and how Asian employees and their allies would react.

I thought we were talking under the assumption that the corporate tax rate was the same as the personal tax rate (ie a flat tax).

Keeping it in the company would then be irrelevant (the more you keep in the company by not paying yourself a salary, the higher the corporate taxes).
>Why is there even an API to make a video player enter/exit full-screen mode ? That's 100% a user decision and there is no valid reason why that should ever be exposed to JS.

There absolutely are valid reasons and responsible uses for the browser to expose that API. Instead the argument should be around the irresponsible uses justifying hiding that part of the API.

Valid reasons to expose full-screen to the API:

* An "Always full-screen videos when I play them" button.
* Remote control of demo displays, kiosks, etc. Force them to all fullscreen and play a video synced up.
* Disable unnecessary features when website is full screen (e.g. stop polling website for changes)
* Exit full-screen on certain conditions. For example on a shared streaming site like Rabb.it, maybe if someone joins your chat room (assume this is configurable by the user)

In short, you can use JS to respectfully enact user decisions.

I'll also mention a related case. On Safari iOS, you can't autoplay a <video> element unless the user has interacted with it via tapping it. The goal, obviously, is to stop autoplaying videos. The goal, of stopping annoying autoplaying videos, is noble, but at the cost of removing the possibility of responsible usage. Maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not, but there is an undeniable tradeoff.

Counterpoint: software such as thermostats that control our energy consumption or phones that lock themselves while you're driving are better if people can't consume in a responsible manner.

Maybe if what you are building runs comfortably in one app, on one server, with no important discrepancies between your dev system and production.

The environment I work with has docker containers for

Web App Server
Background Task Worker Server
Database
Redis Node
Cassandra Node

Getting all of these to work nicely together on linuxes/macOS/Windows in a repeatable fashion across multiple developers is a major headache. Being able to spin the whole cluster up with `docker-compose up -d` turns the whole mess into merely a minor headache.

Most of the time, I only need to work on functionality that depends on DB and WEB nodes, but if I ever need to debug some issue with the worker tasks, it's much easier to have a whole working system available.

This is awesome! I'm glad to see this on the front-page of HN. I believe core value alignment is one of the most important things in a team, both from the company as well as the employee's perspective. Unfortunately very often ignored..

I had just blogged about the importance of culture last month [1] where I heard a talk from a CEO that grew his team rapidly to 60 strong, only to have to let 21 go in one day, due to a lack of cultural alignment.

Right so each of those are specific vulns. like all code gets, and not a systemic "linux containers aren't a security boundry" as suggested by the OP, which was the point I was asking for more info. on.

All code has bugs, some of those are security bugs. There's a big difference between "if you haven't patched or I have a 0-day I can compromise you" and "no matter how well patched you are this isn't a security boundry so it can be bypassed"

My reading of the top comment was it was suggesting the latter with regard to Linux containers, and I'm not sure that's true.

> Docker is basically the equivalent of a sign which says: "don't walk on the grass" as opposed to an actual wall which FreeBSD jails and Solaris zones have.

I think this is dramatically overstating the risks. It is possible to run containers securely, it is just much more difficult to secure containers on linux than on BSD or Solaris. It is significantly difficult to break out of a properly configured container (using user namespaces, seccomp, and selinux/apparmor), and I know of no cases where it has been done successfully.

I still separate tenants onto VMs because I don't want to be the first example of a breakout, but I don't think people who isolate with containers are crazy, just a little less risk-averse.

When I was in my twenties, I didn't think marriage sounded that great either. I am 42 now and love being married. Here are a few thoughts:

* I really understood the desire to marry when I found someone who was right for me. My wife and I are highly compatible. It is great having a teammate in life. I had many relationships which were good, but didn't rise to this standard. All the time, I think about how much I respect and value her.

* I value stability for my children. I love my children more than I could ever have anticipated, and the home we create for them matters a lot to me. Also, there is no one else who understands your parenting project the way your spouse does.

* My wife and I laugh a lot together, usually just before we fall asleep or just after we wake up. The intimacy and comfort is fun.

* For me, I didn't like the idea of marriage until I was ready for it. What I mean is that when I was young I wanted to work all the time, and I felt poor and was constantly worried about money. By the time I met my wife, I had had enough career success, and had enough savings, that I was ready to be really generous without feeling stressed about it. I mean generous in the broadest sense: with my time, with my emotional security, with my financial resources. Marriage seemed more threatening or risky before I got to that point.

* The 'contract' is negotiable - we have a prenup. That said, I don't ever expect it to have any meaning for us, but don't get hung up on that.

I could name a lot more reasons, but those are the main ones that come to mind.

My advice is: Keep trying to meet a lot of people. Eventually, you will meet one who after a year or two makes you say "If I could lock this situation in, I would be ecstatic," and she will feel the same way. Then, marry her! The day I got married, I couldn't believe my luck. Many years later, I feel far more lucky than I did the first day.

Also, I love this essay on marriage:

Gentle transition periods (I have mine set to a half hour), offsets from sunset/sunrise, hue (and other smart bulb) integration. A few other features that I don't use. I'm experimenting now with native compositor, which hopefully presents a better colour mix than Twilight was able to (good but not perfect).
While it is true that some people probably need a nanny, I feel like forcing everybody to have a nanny is highly unfair and not a viable solution.
15 years later, I had professors that said the same thing. And it was true in a lot of classes. Even though the mid-aughts was a time when almost every CS student had a laptop to bring to class, the arguments for actually "needing" them in class were usually pretty contrived.
Ya I guess..

Thanks; reading the source, the 3% figure is for old technology turbines, while 1.5%/2% is for newer ones. Doesn't look like so high to me.
> Inflation is a feature of currencies...

Inflation is a tool of countries. I think it is a useful tool. In this topic one should compare Bitcoin to gold - no inflation [* insert caveats here about mining both physical and computational].

> In 2017, traditional currencies work pretty well for global business

I agree.

> Without reversible transactions...

Ultimately, removing the overhead of mediation will make transactions cheaper. It is possible to add mediation in another layer and I hope it would not be more expensive or risky than our current system.

Imagine a small business where charge-back fraud can really hurt. Cryptocurrency gives the ability to accept payments risk-free. This topic is really a double-edged sword.

Some optimistic things to think about:

- people who do not have access to banks but do or will have access to the internet and smartphones

- "streaming money" / micropayments

- smart contracts

Nope. Grandparent had it right: you should be basically exactly like one another. I know there are exceptions, but I assume one party is giving in a lot to the other in those situations. Unless that's something you _like_ to do, then you should probably not be married in the opposites-attract scenario.

It's still not /great/. I have had to switch from my mac to a new Win10 laptop for development because the app server in my docker container would take around 2 mins to detect a change and reboot the app server, which then would take a few minutes to reboot. Now it's much closer to realtime. I do hope that docker get's it sorted out soon, as the tooling on windows isn't as good as what I am used to on osx.

And by tooling, I mean command line. I am using Cmder with Linux subsystem for Windows, and it STILL isn't half as good as even the terminal built into osx, let alone iterm.

> That seems like a false dichotomy. There were third party candidates. Plus, you can always choose not to vote.

I've voted third-party a number of times, but that's because I've lived in unflippable states and I'm playing the long game. If you care about the short-term results that are this specific election and are in a state where it can change the results, voting third-party is the wrong choice. Not voting is an even more wrong choice--"both are bad and I'd like us to have better choices in the future" can best be achieved by voting third-party. "Both are bad, so I'll let other people decide" seems less likely to influence future elections, and it's obviously not the right way to effect this election. The one economic principle I always cite rings true here: Rational people think on the margin.

People who think abortion is infanticide saw an opportunity to fill the Supreme Court with justices who might ban abortion. Given their goals, not voting would have been a worse decision than voting for Trump was.
I suggest reading about search engine technology as a field of study. That would give an overview of the various approaches and their strengths.

If you're worried that Bing is also censorship, then use Yahoo, or Baidu. They all order results slightly differently. You could argue each censorship til the cows come home. I don't see the point. You could say I'm censoring you right now by not telling you everything I know.

Is there something specific you feel all the search engines are censoring? Or you just suspect they are?

>They want to deport kids who have lived in the US their whole lives through no fault of their own.

Why are all white people being asked to pay for some white slave owners? Why are they being punished for the sins of their forefathers? No white person alive now, ever owned slaves, it is illegal. No black person alive now, was ever enslaved, it is illegal.

Are you giving a clean sheet to all white "kids" because slavery was no fault of their own?

Ben Affleck's ancestors were slave owners, does that mean Ben should be punished and have to pay reparations?

>They want to deport kids who have lived in the US their whole lives through no fault of their own.

The interpretation for someone considering crossing border illegally: If you can sneak in with a less than 10 year old child into USA, stay hidden for 5 years or so, you can claim that the kid grew up in USA, is in USA for no fault of her own, and her family of undocumented parents should get to stay as well since USA doesn't want to separate families, which means we are all safe. That's Amnesty for entire family. I would be safe. Totally worth giving lives savings and taking loans to pay the human traffickers, there is risk of death and rape, but after that ordeal we would be safe. May be I will carry some drugs on me to pay for the trip.

Tell me why that interpretation is wrong?

You sympathize with the well-off, but still illegal, DACA recipients in USA. I am concerned about that family in South America starting the journey where enslavement and rape is real certainty.

>Muslim ban

Campaign rhetoric vs. reality. See his Saudi visit. That was a way to explain extreme vetting.

> Civil rights of gay

Trump is the first USA President who came to office while supporting Marriage Equality for gay and lesbian. Hillary and Obama declined Marriage equality for political gains.

I see this as a pure power play: Let me do what I want to do without any questioning, because somebody somewhere somehow, by some interpretation, is being oppressed.

Not sure. Batters already look back to the dugout sometimes in order to know if they want a bunt, squeeze play, hit and run, etc. That doesn't take more than 3-5 seconds. If they already coordinate some kind of sign between the trainer (in question) and a player, then it shouldn't take any more time.
The problem is that the heat is in the wrong place, right?
We're not going to stop needing electricity. If you've got an IR beam and you can point it at something you can heat whatever it is and run a generator.

You need to cool the building anyway, so the added energy from displacing the beam to a (presumably turbine) generator would essentially be 'free.'

This is more efficient than the photovoltaic because you don't have to produce install and maintain a photovoltaic (all of which costs some energy), and you were going to cool this building with this method anyway (so there's little downside to harvesting the energy aside from complexity, which is a concern).

I assume you'd need line of sight from the panel to the generator, which it does seem would be tricky, but doesn't seem insurmountable. (Put the collector on a tower for example, in most areas of the country I think it wouldn't have to be higher than a few hundred feet). It just depends on how much heat you're displacing and whether you can collect enough to run the generator.

If it were "I'm just trying to produce energy", I'd agree that the photovoltaic is better, but if this system happened to be dual use and doing two things we already want to do, it seems like it would be a pretty substantial win.
