We, as technologists, can improve upon this by...

We can do some of it but most of the 'do no evil' goes away in favor of what the money wants to do. Even well intentioned designers, developers/engineers, entrepreneurs, etc get pushed/pulled in directions of the money and usually understandably. The money machine always gets what it wants.

A big problem with our society today is, the people with all the power (lever on the money) are the same ones selling us out to dystopian lack of control of privacy, rights etc. We are a system setup where the only good that can really come is if wealth, or someone wealthy, wants to see it happen. We are basing all our opportunities, hopes, rights on very few people that are actively getting paid to cut them down.

Inequality does us in more than we realize because it is easy to throw the people under the bus for the money, once you are in the money you aren't in the people by design. We live in a 'free' country, but combine that with the feudal/sharecropper setup at our dictator-like controlled companies we work for where corporate rights overpower individual rights on the regular, and well you end up with a recipe for dystopia.
Coinbase has horrible support. if you are out of the USA, there is not support. In the USA, it can take at least a week before they will respond. I would not recommend.
>Have you ever seen UltraEdit?

A long time ago (>10 years) but then I mostly used IDEs for development. Didn't know it was still out there, I'll may give it another try, thanks

If that's what you want, then again, you have multiple sources for that. Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, your own blog, etc.
Yeah, it bugs me too. What about letting "natural consequences" befall Equifax (or rather its customers)?

I take no action now. Scammer gets a $10k loan from BigBank using my info. I get the bill and report it as fraud. Write a few letters to clear it up (http://www.kalzumeus.com/2017/09/09/identity-theft-credit-re...). BigBank will be out $10k and is now motivated to figure out a better way to make loans.
I have no idea why you got the downvotes. Also, you can check it out with the device emulator in chrome devtools.
Nice to see you again, naasking :) It doesn't require any "mysterious discomfort." Believing in the existence of a physical reality may seem like a totally reasonable extrapolation to make from our experiences, but it's not the only one.
Too bad that first bubble chart isn't an animated GIF showing the changes over time. Or it could have a 'Year' slider under it.

How long have you used one? I bought one thinking it'd be a fun toy for the gyroscopic effects, but after using it for less than a day, I was able to spin/fidget with it completely absentmindedly using only my off-hand.
Previously my method of fidgeting would be fairly destructive, like breaking pens or picking nails. The spinner has had a very beneficial aspect on that, allowing me to fidget in a way that wont cause my fingers to bleed.
Apple New ARKit it's much more than you think
I've never used it for anything quite that large. I have three windows open on my first virtual desktop: Editor, terminal, and browser. When I want to poke around in log files or other really long files, I'm using grep, tail, awk, and Perl (and vim), in the terminal.

The biggest file I regularly work with in the editor is 10,631 lines long (I just checked, and it's longer than I thought). Atom works fine with it, including syntax highlighting, and cutting/pasting/typing/etc.

Actually...out of curiosity, I just opened up a ~110,000 line file (a log I had laying around). It seems to work fine. It took a little longer to open than it would in vim (which is effectively instant), but not as long as I would have expected. It was well under a second, and within my comfort zone for opening files. Switching tabs seems maybe a little more sluggish with it loaded, but not uncomfortably so.

I think I have to accept Atom into the category of editors that can work with pretty large files. I can't imagine having a source file any longer than that 10,000 line file I work with regularly (and I would never make a file that large, but historic codebases sometimes have weird things in them), but it seems like it'll work even if someone did.
In reality if you are one of those edge cases, you'll still get what you need, you'll just be inconvenienced by having to wade through bureaucratic morass. Temporary inconvenience is not dystopian.
GTK (and EFL, which Elementary actually uses and was absolutely indistinguishable to me in casual use, but I know GNOME and derivatives better) feels bad and makes me sad to use it. Like...that's it. And I realize that's not a satisfying answer, and that it's super subjective, but that's pretty much it. Navigating around feels off, the way it nods to OS X but adds very obviously Windows stuff on top of it is kind of hard to deal with, it doesn't feel cohesive. It also looks pretty rough (too much unrelieved flat-panel gray) and text rendering is nowhere near as nice as OS X.

My Linux Mint desktop runs Cinnamon, but it's a lot less of a pain there because the only apps I run are Atom, Chrome, and Terminator (which is not a great terminal emulator but whatever, it's fine).
My garbage is privatized and my ISP is as well (an advocate for net neutrality) and both of those work just as well as my utilities do. I don't think providing two examples is a sufficient counterpoint to rebuke free-market principles.

Either way, are we calling Google, Facebook, & Amazon natural monopolies now?

> Let's be real though. This is a result of Russia being completely isolated from most major internet services due to the overwhelming amount of malicious traffic originating from there, not any inherent superiority of Russian tech companies.

Not really, although I'd imagine some companies in defense space or those operating with consumer data might take stringent measures.

Russian annual Internet ad spending is just north of $2 billion (136 bln rubles, src https://www.vedomosti.ru/technology/articles/2017/03/21/6820..., US digital ad spending, for context, is $77.4 billion) and requires a business and banking entity setup to accept payments from other businesses. They recently started requiring anyone with a business entity to also host their data in Russia, and booted LinkedIn out for not renting data center space locally.

Credit cards payments are not widespread, so accepting consumer payments involves going through local transmitters (Qiwi, WebMoney, Yandex.Money) whose total volume is also low. English is not widely spoken, and at the language level Russian is unsuitable for drop-in translations due to flexions and conjugations being expressed by suffixes and occasional stem changes.

So overall it's a small ad market with complex payment setup requiring a significant investment just to get started. Most Western companies have Russia "on the list" when they talk about international growth, but it's an afterthought.

Those are daytime running lights. I wish headlights were mandatory, that would eliminate people driving in rainy twilight without lights on.
> the more phone calls they will get, and the easier they can do the hard-sale

A couple of reasons:

1. It lets them be flexible with what solutions they can offer.

2. For companies that do a few things, it can be really difficult to be clear and concise

Example: You own a company that makes consumer facing apps with a focus on QR codes. A potential customer who wants a website for an internal use may not choose you so you end up with garbage like "we create dynamic and flexible end to end solutions to enable your core competencies"
You're right that there's a strong preference to use the original article title. That said, the guidelines go into more detail under "In Submissions":

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

In this case I suspect the mods agreed with 'XR0CSWV3h3kZWg that the given title wasn't very good (and not obscure in the intriguing sense, maybe whimsical sense). Personally I find the "I did x. This is what happened"-type quite click-baity. As an aside, I wonder how far one could go using only "this" as a filter for click-bait titles.
Why do you assume the original inventor profited from it? It seems at least as likely that they got left in the dust when someone else noticed the potential in their idea and grabbed it -- especially if the main driver behind the craze were Chinese manufacturers, who are not exactly known for their scrupulous respect for intellectual property...
In Math usually the peer review time is very long. Perhaps one or one and half year (unless you are unlucky and when you contact the editor after a year he realizes that one of the referees "crashed" and must be "reseted").

In Physics people gets mad if the referees+editor take more than two months.

Each branch of science has its own typical time.
Then I guess it depends on if you view the military doing things that most of the people who they are supposed to protect disagree with, as a violation of trust or not.

I personally don't believe that saying one side followed all the rules when they have the power to make the rules has any weight as a moral argument
> You would still need an escape mechanism for something like...

Yes, but that's a pretty rare case, much more so than embedded strings.

Even that case could be solved by having two different quotes, like Python which allows both 'string' and "string". So you could do:

«This is a string that mentions the ” character without escaping it»

“This is a string that mentions the « character without escaping it”

Yes, there are still some edge cases, like embedding both “ and « in the same string. But that's really rare.
So, the answer to "Who is the Web Audio API designed for", according to you, appears to be "people who want primitive FM synthesizers".

Not game developers, not professional audio production people. It's... not an answer I was expecting, but I suppose it's valid.
I see a difference between reasonable and obvious.
Point/Counterpoint: Twitter Is an Echo Chamber
That's a simplistic scenario and does not apply at all here. Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that can run thousands of containers over thousands of compute nodes and directing traffic to them will require some sort of routing/proxy system.
Hi Matt! I've been using and advocating for Caddy for a while now, but I have to say this is a huge put-off.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm in full support of a commercial version... but as you can see from the feedback here, this kind of thing is really frowned upon in the personal / OSS space for a variety of reasons.

I encourage you to re-consider added headers. Perhaps look at a more heavy handed download process such as the "Pay as you want" system used by ElementaryOS's download page (https://elementary.io/).
Honestly, a lot of people consider Russia western simply because they are white. It's not intentional for the most part, it's subconscious. But the fact that we look alike just makes it so much easier to not consider them foreign.
Yes, or in some versions of libertopia you simply pay for what you use. Need a contract? Pay a contract tax stamp that pays for the courts to adjudicate the contract as necessary. Need to drive on a road? Pay a toll to drive on the possibly privately run roads (in any of the various ways that driving tolls can be collected).

This approach obviously has some problems to be overcome, but the idea that people are currently made to pay for things they don't need or don't use just because a majority of their neighbors want them to has problems too, like fairness.

Linux users should enable the compose key, it's very useful.

Test it with:

setxkbmap -option compose:menu

Then press the menu/compose key (next to right control), then C, then =. You get €.

Try compose, 1, 2 for ½.

Compose, ^, 3 for ³.

Compose, A, : for Ä.

It's pretty intuitive for the most useful characters, and easily the fastest way I have of typing the ö, ñ and å in various colleagues' names.
"people movers" made me laugh.

You could, but might face liability. Also, perhaps not a full time job but also not easy to schedule. So you'd be paying someone to sit around 90% of the time.
Quoting from the article:

> Briefly, p is the minimum size of a collection of infinite sets of the natural numbers that have a “strong finite intersection property” and no “pseudointersection,” which means the subsets overlap each other in a particular way; t is called the “tower number” and is the minimum size of a collection of subsets of the natural numbers that is ordered in a way called “reverse almost inclusion” and has no pseudointersection.

In short, there are two infinities, p and t, that are implicitly defined by some characteristics. It was previously known that there was a relationship between them, but it was not suspected that there were, in fact, equal.

Considerable work is required to understand what these are, and what the result means.

And to answer your explicit question, yes, the reals can be put in 1-1 correspondence with 2^N, the power set of the naturals.

> Part of the problem is that people used to call something "fundamentalism" but then the word "fundamentalist" started being a negative word and people had to find some other ways to describe themselves.

Literalism was not coined as a term in response to fundamentalism becoming negative with other groups; fundamentalists still call themselves fundamentalists.

Literalism has always been a term for a doctrine within they fundamentalist and Evangelical traditional, which is distinct from the simple inerrantism that is a more common Christian doctrine (simple inerrantism is basically the doctrine that the Bible, understood as intended, is correct in what it teaches; there are slightly different forms of this doctrine in the Protestant and Catholic communities, but they are generally similar and similar in how they differ from literalism.)

> When people say they are "biblical literalist" (yeah, words drift), they basically mean that they trust the Bible to be absolutely trustworthy.

No, that’s just inerrantism. Literalism at least purports to be a stronger position.

(In practice, I agree that it's actually not and that “literalism” is an empty conceit.)
Despite federal law allowing certain federal agents to conduct search and seizures within 100 miles of the border into the interior of the United States,[5] the Supreme Court has clearly and repeatedly confirmed that the border search exception applies only at international borders and their functional equivalent (such as international airports).[1] [2]

With you up to the very last sentence. Labor force is an economic term with a specific meaning. It is not the same as saying that someone is not working for someone to not be in the "labor force". Since there's an economic purpose to the definition as-is, I don't see how you can possibly claim it is condescending without misrepresenting what the term actually means.

On east/west streets, numbers in Berkeley increase heading east, and in Oakland they increase heading west. So if you follow Alcatraz itself from east to west the numbers:

- at first decrease, from Claremont to College (in Berkeley)
- jump down and then increase, from College to Dover (in Oakland)
- jump back up and then decrease, from Dover to Essex (in Berkeley)
- jump back down and then increase, from Essex to San Pablo (in Oakland)

It's really just dumb luck that the numbers don't collide somewhere.

(I have ignored Emeryville, like everyone does, but I think its addresses follow Oakland's?)
Stop SESTA: Whose Voices Will SESTA Silence?
I'd agree with you except this is a bait and switch. They're allowed to do it, but it's rude. 30 days is also minimal notice.
Still, the cross-browser thing seems quite bad.
Not sure if this is a nice idea, a nice execution, or nothing at all. There was a HN post not too long ago on "please tell us what you do first thing". Guess you should (re)read that. Any action requires my twitter or a new account. And you call people without Twitter old school?

Jokes on you!

(So:

1. create a proper landing page

2. Allow us to check on what this is without sharing our data with you; because we won't without knowing what this is in this era.

3. Twitter new school? Ha!)
Three Lies Big Internet Is Spreading to Kill the Cali Broadband Privacy Bill
I assume the JIT isn't optimizing until the functions execute a certain number of times. Given the speed difference maybe it isn't even natively compiling at first and using the interpreter.

I don't know about Java but in .NET there's a call you can make to force the dynamically generated lamba expression to be compiled immediately.

Of course if you're being really adventurous you can use IL emit to build a function up from IL opcodes.

There's another, and IMO, a better way to make Java reflection faster. It's to disable checks on reflection calls. Just call setAccessible(true), and you will notice substantial improvement.

I don't have access to the actual study, but the abstract very much reads like a study that came to the conclusion the authors wanted.

Eh... no, I never said that second part. You might want to read through the thread again.

How Far Ahead of Academia Are Government Agencies?
Sorry but I disagree. The most valuable part of the MBA is the accounting bit. This can be learned by smart people OJT. It's valuable to study cases but you don't need an overpriced MBA for that.

The rest is mostly horseshit. Source: 20 years building technology businesses.

In my view an MBA is good if say you work for a paper towel company and you're trying to decide how many paper towels go in a roll. That's something you don't need the big brains for but you need someone who understands simple P&L.

I can't for the life of me understand why a person with MBA is almost automatically considered "leadership material" at some companies, particularly technology companies.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the caddy folks come across fine in that issue. In fact everyone does, except for the person who thinks everyone working at a company are on the list of contributors of a github project.
You are right. I view emacs as a sort of religion or philosophy of computing. I don't use the metaphor lightly. It is pretty apt. It is my religion, so I would never put it on anyone else. I will share the cool stuff about it, but not in an annoying way.

The philosophy of using it is that eventually, in the long long term, the productivity gains should be reasonable or at least competitive with any other editor or environment. It should be a joy to use. Since I know I will probably only ever make a living crafting text I view it as an imperative to deeply master my primary tool. The other aspect is that it is free and old and stable. I can't ever achieve an RMS level of using open source things, but everywhere I can, I want the truly open thing, even if it isn't practical. I run Linux for this reason, even though it was a giant time sink making it behave and getting everything just so. But I can make things just so.

This fits in also with creating a distraction free environment. i3wm, emacs, I barely even see application menus these days, but I still use a GUI, I am not crazy. But it fits with my philosophy/religion of computing, so I am going to do it this way. If others agree, great. If they want to know about it, I will share. If they think it's crazy, from their perspective they may be right!
Isn't his point that the context is what determines the classification?

A foot crushing a glass is just that. But the classification and regulation of that image may be different if the context is sexually explicit versus first aid.

To use the Nazi example - someone with a SS flag might be a collector or history nerd but if they start marching through the streets with it while chanting racist slogans they will likely be interpreted differently.

Defining that in law is difficult but most people know the difference, including those hiding behind free speech.
The new study suggesting sitting will kill you is kind of a raging dumpster fire
I agree strongly with this.

If you use Caddy but don't pay for it or contribute to it's development then your criticism of the developers should reflect that imbalance.

We're talking past each other. Please revisit Sipser's proof for why the halting problem is TM-uncomputable, and you'll see what I mean.
Absolutely not. Especially support for PKK diminished recently after they sabotaged peace process. During the talks Kurds in southeast of Turkey has seen what it would be like of truce. Unfortunately PKK saw an opportunity in Syria and upped the bargain and started playing hard again. After they killed 2 police officers (in their homes) state went after them like no before.

Evidence, yes. Even Turkish government give serial numbers of captured weapons.

"interface", "method"... One man's obfuscatory is another man's revelatory. It heavily depends on the "axiom set" you first learned about computer science concepts on. I would contend that "interface" and "method" are objectively more obvious concepts.
I'm saying that political theatre is important and necessary. When it comes to everything else the UN has a really bad history of ineffectiveness.
While there is potentially an argument to me made that a hostile government could use this expanded power to "regulate" for some nefarious purpose, you have to actually go that far for it to be an argument.
