What community centered around professional skills do you think has better philosophical discussion? Sure, there exists better philosophical discussion elsewhere, and communities centered around academic disciplines can be more sophisticated because that is their raison d'etre. But when I think of professional communities (e.g., accounting, medicine, law, etc.), I can't think of any better except insofar as they bleed into academia (e.g., blogs by law professors, not practicing lawyers).
Of course. Though it depends on what you were looking to get out of it.
Senate Intel slips sentence into bill that could lead to spying on US citizens
I pay $149 a month for a server, I was using Nginx + nghttp2 (for gRPC), until last month when I switched to Caddy (LE benefits).

I'm not familiar with Go, so I can't modify source to get the plugins I like.

I read the announcement page, and can't find what the cost is, but it doesn't matter. My work doesn't count as non-x, because I want to someday make an extra income from it.

I've found Caddy to be a cool and interesting project, but guess I'll be switching Nginx back on soon enough :(
I'll work on that. But the error message is very clear, so if any error reporting is enabled, it'll be pretty obvious what to do, at least.

The fact that people were relying on volunteer-supported infrastructure for their CI builds is a little unnerving to me, hence the move to commercial support.

This, like much of the Zen worldview, is self-refuting. If objectives can be obstacles that leave me with only one eye on the path, then the new objective is just to focus on "the path" of innovation and creativity. My objective may have changed, but I still have an objective.

I see the point you're trying to make - but have you ever taken 2-4 opiate pills per day for over a couple weeks at a time? This has a terrible ravaging effect on your body. It's not good for anybody, regardless of how much pain they are in. Furthermore, opiate tolerance goes up very quickly and that 2-4 pills can turn into 4-8 very quickly.
Except that a regular pin pad lets anyone enter the pin. Your pin code can only be keyed in by 1:1000000 people [citation needed]. So no, your pin is not on your forehead. Your pin is an organic material with color and depth and movement that for all intents and purposes is your actual forehead.

The average opportunist thief won't be able to duplicate that key. The best that they can do is use your actual face, within a few feet from you, while you're staring directly at the phone in their hands.
Caddy is OK, easy to setup on a personal machine, but nginx's performance trumped it completely in our testing. Particularly when requesting large numbers of files concurrently.

I genuinely don't know why a business would use Caddy over nginx, especially given the new commercial licensing scheme. nginx really isn't that hard to setup.
I find group sessions generally aren't very productive also. I am strictly talking about brainstorming I do independently.

Amazing that they sell so many of them then. Of course people don't 'want' expensive, but I have yet to find a laptop built with the same quality as a mac (trackpad is a biggie for me), and people are ok paying for status symbols.

Linux isn't there for personal use. I use Linux for various dev tasks, but it's painful, and when you run into a problem it's too quick to throw you to the terminal for a solution. That alone means most people will never use Linux.

Edit: I have been corrected. For the record, I still think this is a braindead move from Caddy.

This is about the second edition of a book, i.e. an updated version, not a sequel or a second volume.

There is no particular reason to refer to the first edition now, since the second edition is the same book. The second edition brought the book (originally published in 1991) up to date for 1996, and it is in a sense still current now, because the language hasn't changed since then. The update added the SML Basis library which was just being standardised, plus better coverage of modules.

There is a small info page about the first edition here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~lp15/MLbook/first/

> And if the author of the second study calls out the author of the first study

The "if" there is one big problem. What seems to have happened instead, in some fields, is that studies that would challenge the results of existing ones simply don't get published. This is partly a result of scientists self-censoring ("I must have done something wrong") and partly a result of journals not accepting papers that challenge "established science".

But also, again for some fields, the assumption that other scientists build on the existing work may not be true. The worst-case scenario is when someone does a study, the results are widely trumpeted and applied to the real world, no one keeps track of how they actually perform in the real world (which may be difficult to do anyway, in fields like social psychology), and no one bothers doing any more studies in the area because it's "settled science"...

The typescript compiler is a type checker and a cross-JS-version transpiler in one. Runtime code introduced to support generators in lower ES versions isn't exactly the same as the type system needing a runtime component. It's more like "the Babel part" which is included in TS.

I personally don't think it's an attractive part of TS; it's confusing, and it's just duplicating efforts that Babel already does best. But that's just me.

What if, instead of adding headers, you did something more like mobaxterm where there are games that can only be removed by paying for the commercial version. Like all personal caddy servers respond to /nethack?
I think your outburst might be rooted in a misunderstanding.

As stated in a few other places in this thread, the software remains 100% free, including for commercial purposes.

In order to make use of the build server at caddyserver.com, you need to have either a personal or commercial license. The build server provides precompiled binaries with your customized selection of plugins included.

The use of the build server is in no way necessary for the deployment of Caddy in any circumstance.
No schemes here, just an updated business plan.

If the current pricing is too restrictive for your business, feel free to build from source (Caddy source code is Apache licensed)!

Or contact us, sales@lightcodelabs.com, if you need a commercial license but your startup / side project has a constrained budget. We'll see if we can work something out for you.

Bitcoin Doubts and Buffett Criticisms
If you take away their right to decide what to host, they'll just take away their servers from your jurisdiction.

Or they'll always limit their userbase to be below the regulated size. If we're lucky they might opt for federation like email, so that it doesn't break up the ability to reach others easily on other servers.

Decentralized hosting is the best solution.

The existing right to refuse service is currently only limited by very few laws, like discrimination law and some utility regulations. Taking away the right to refuse service will not work well at all
Don't be so cheap. Sublime is worth every Dollar and if you use it professionally it is well spent.
This was the easiest upgrade to consider in my career; $30 is nothing compared to the value and ecosystem around Sublime Text.

I'd entertain such a model as OP to ensure the ongoing viability of the app.
When I need to trim part of a clip in Kdenlive, I just use the Cut tool on the timeline and delete the portion I don't need. This doesn't create a separate file, it just tells it to only use a portion of the original file. It's been a while since I've used it though, so there might be an even easier way.

For muting you can apply the Mute audio effect for the required portion of the video.
Still the gold standard as far as I'm concerned. It seems to be the only editor that focuses on my happiness by providing a flawless text editing experience. It feels like using a modern iPhone compared to a 2005 Android phone (and yes, the Android phone was probably more extensible).

> discover natural social order - almost always the leader will be male.

I would want to mention that the definition of leader don't perfectly match between alpha males in animals and human leaders.

I recall this troop of baboons. As usually the alpha male leaders the group in the morning to the feeding ground, but a new male had recently joined and won the alpha spot and he didn't know where it was. The flock followed for a while, but at a point the older female baboons simply decided to break to the right place and the rest of the flock followed. The alpha continued walking forward, oblivious that the flock behind him had gone elsewhere and was quite surprised when he finally noticed that the flock was gone.

There were no punishment for the older female baboons. No fight when they stopped following the alpha. The alpha is permitted to lead, but only to a point.

The fact that PG does this (even with longer essays actually) bothers me to no end and always has. It's as if he doesn't have confidence in what he is saying. Or as if he thinks that what he is saying has some earth shattering implications or impact. [1] And it's not printed in a book. He could easily change it and update it after reading what others said afterwords.

I can understand if he were to write an opinion piece for a major newspaper. Or perhaps having Jessica give it the once over. Or another person with no need to acknowledge or thank them.

And it's certainly not representative of the world that the rest of us operate in when posting comments here on HN. You know the downvotes and gray out comments when someone doesn't like what we have said or doesn't agree with it.

How about an essay on why he has people read his essays before posting them?

One other thing. I don't think honesty requires someone to even give thanks like he does. I think that detracts from the essay and doesn't add to it. There is no requirement to give acknowledgement in that fashion if you are getting help in that way. Assumes the help is minor if the help is major you have to question why someone even is writing essays.

Lastly, I think this sets a bad example for younger people on the way up. The reason? You have to learn from your mistakes and from the brutal honesty of people and how they react to what you say. While this is not importantly to PG (he has already made it) I think constantly having others 2nd guess what you do is not the path to being able to think on your own feet.

[1] Like he is a world leader, or a corporate CEO, and has to tread carefully for fear of a bad outcome from his words.
I think there is another simpler short term vested interest. A lot of people are moving long term savings, and stock market holdings which are managed and profitable for banks and wealth advisers to Crypto Currency that they manage themselves. And for the last couple years, they have been outperforming traditional investments.

Obviously financial advisers will be getting up to speed quickly, but for now I can't ask for ANY % of my 401k to be placed in Crypto. This means less commission and activity in the traditional investing marketplace.

I don't know about lambda functions but I think you can do all of this with rsync.net since we have both s3cmd and git in our environment:

ssh user@rsync.net s3cmd get s3://rsync/mscdex.exe

ssh user@rsync.net "git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git freebsd"

So you could run a cron job that would clone a repo to your rsync.net account and then publish (or backup) that repo to an s3 account.

Or whatever.
Sublime is probably the first GUI text editor that left me satisfied. Everything else over the years was either non-portable, slow or lacking features. After two months of use I just had to buy it, it's worth the price.

- It's fast and responsive, can handle large files and personally I've never seen it leaking memory or crashing

- Love the goto anything and command palette, brilliant

- Text editing is great and can be easily enhanced with existing plugins

- Theming is great

- Project handling is a bit weird, but once you get the hang of it it's fantastic

I don't do use IDE-like features (auto-complete, linting, compiling, etc.) nor integration features (version control for example) so I can't say how it fares in that aspect.

Recently I tried VSCode and Atom. They are portable and feature rich out of the box, but God are they slow and memory hungry. I can definitely see the appeal for web devs but it doesn't work for me, I value responsiveness above all else (that's the main reason I avoid dedicated IDEs)

It's not just a workspace layout, it does have those but they're separate from the modes. Different modes (object mode, edit mode, sculpt mode, texture paint mode, weight paint mode, etc.) all have different hotkeys and in many cases have functionality that aren't available at all in the other modes. There are some conventions shared across modes, like G/R/S hotkeys for move/rotate/scale, or X to delete things. But the majority of blender's operations are mode specific.

If you're in one of the painting modes, F is the hotkey to change brush size. But you can't add faces in the painting modes.

If you're in edit mode, F will create a face from the selected vertices or edges. The concept of a brush doesn't exist here.

If you're in object mode, F doesn't do anything.

For another, I is "Inset Face" in edit mode, but "Insert Keyframe Menu" in object mode. This one is a bit different, because the keyframe menu is actually available in any mode and it just doesn't have a hotkey unless you're in object mode. But like the other mesh editing tools, Inset Face only exists while you're in edit mode.
