I don't think it does make boring reading at all. In fact, it makes very important reading - the strange drive-by downvoting culture on HN deserves to be called out. And as I have noted elsewhere, those are merely guidelines; if they are to be rules then they ought to be called as such.

I don't really agree.

Practice is important for building skills, and for knowing the piece.

The point is that you should be able to play the piece like you know how to walk.

Imagine: if you had do 'think' about walking, about every step, you would walk unnaturally. You'd certainly not be able to swatter.

When you can play as you walk - then - you can loosen up, and focus on having fun, making it creative i.e. have swagger. The actual notes are mundane, like walking, then the music can come out. If you have to think about it, it needs more practice.

Also - 'work' is not 'music'. Most of work is not practice, it's building stuff.

A carpenter who worked 1/2 days would probably get just about only 1/2 done, for example. I know tech is not quite the same, but it's mostly similar. We are not solving complex math problems, most of tech is mundane.
You can even download Netflix to your phone and watch it later.
> We'll see how strong the passive buy-&-hold ideology really is when the tide goes out.

You already know the answer to that. Passive index investors will pull out in record numbers.

I can't believe how many people I know who think "just put all your money in index funds and you'll be a millionaire when you retire." Now I don't have any better advice, but they only say this because of the gains they've seen in the last 7 years, like it's invulnerable. Even when I use my investing website's retirement calculator, it defaults to a 9% gain each year for the rest of my life.

We're in uncharted territory. We could enter a 25-year stagnation. We could be at the beginning of the most prosperous time in history. Nobody knows. And nobody can predict it.

One-Shot Learning of C++ r-value, &&, and Move
Never. Chrome had side tabs, but some being wiser than all others determined unreadable microtabs to be the appropriate punishment for the sin of opening too many (good thing there isn't a big movement towards web-based apps!). They were removed, multiple bugs opened begging for them to brought back, merged together, starred by thousands of fools (like myself), but the word came down. Someone didn't like how it looked. And that was that.
> an upgrade target for existing codebases

That might be a little naive. I pick Coffeescript in a reflex without even considering ESxx, and I regularly start new projects large and small with it that go into production. It's a breeze compared to some of the modern Javascript codebases I have to work on. My overall development speed is definitely faster in Coffeescript, less bugs, no countless babel add-ons, no linters etc.. and the codebase often speaks for itself, less annotations, less code. Efficiency means a lot to me.

I second you! I think that Keybase holds a lot more potential than most of the Blockchain unicorns floating around... I'd be happy to pay for kbfs to gain some assurance that I won't lose everything because the company went under or got acquired by someone with less scruples.
This is where technologies like TrustZone, Intel ME, Intel SGX, SecureBoot comes - you will have isolated environment, while DRM will be run in another chip or execution level. So you will need either elevate your privilegies via vulnerability, or via hardware reversing techniques. And it is already happening. Computers arent that open anymore, they became walled gardens already.
Unfortunately WWVB is now phase modulated, so that wrecks it for use as a phase reference.
call it ToffeeScript - a dialect of CoffeeScript that transpiles to TypeScript?
Cool! Pay me and I"ll build you a linux server with mattermost and git on it. You can self host all the things they're putting together here on keybase. And it's free now, but it won't be for too much longer, soon there'll be freemium and then a full paid service. Because they want you to build an environment and workflow around it, and once you're making money with it you'll gladly pay a bit in a few years or so when you're large enough to afford it.

But until then, I"ll totally build you a self hosted solution. I'll even work remote.
You also have to look at the scope of the work performed too, wouldn't you?
I live on acreage outside city limits and have had to dispatch the occasional varmint.

However, I would not suggest a firearm (or airgun) in a city environment, especially not one like Oakland, where intent may be hard to judge by authorities, and local ordinances might land one in legal jeopardy.

My suggestion in this scenario would be to purchase a Havahart live trap. Bait it with a little canned tuna fish or peanut butter. Catch the offending critter and call the local animal control agency. They will come out and take care of it for you. In some cases animal control will lend you a trap if you have an ongoing problem.

I feel like there's a point far into the future where they might consider the current technology age as a turning point in our evolution as biological beings. Consider a future 1000 years from now, after we've spent a thousand years interacting with the virtual world. Imagine a world where the virtual is indistinguishable from the physical - where the virtual IS physical, and the physical IS virtual.
Virtual worlds that are infinitely customizable, creating scenarios for your mind that are infinitely more compelling than what you can experience in the purely physical realm. Reset your life to any point in time. Fast forward. Rewind. Play through every conceivable event. Travel to any destination you can imagine. Meet anyone or any creature. BE any creature. Live an existence that can be shaped by your very whim; reality could be whatever you wanted it to be, changes made as quickly as thoughts come and go. For all intents and purposes, you are the architect of your own reality. God.

Computer chips implanted into the body to regulate vital functions. Nanobot technology to repair or modify biological cells. Countless methods to sustain and prolong your biological life.

Eventually the biological dies, but the virtual simulation is not interrupted. Instead, your consciousness is uploaded to the world's mainframe server, where your mind is allowed to continue on it's journey of self-discovery within the virtual world. You and your loved ones can continue to interact virtually, forever. Where you can continue to explore, to learn, and to experience life long after your death.

You are virtually immortal.
I was in that situation as well.

Being 10 years older than the rest of the crew, sadly I believe they simply perceived me as 'old'.

The clarification is correct, just for the record.

I agree that "forgery" doesn't quite seem right for this, although it's close. If they had claimed to have an original Twain work that was being published unedited, but was in fact a new creation, then it would fit, but they're not really hiding the fact that it's been altered.... "Appropriation" and "misrepresentation" both fit, but are overly general.
Dave Brandon had an exceptional track record and the business community thought so, maybe still does for all I know. He was just disliked by a popular (in the University of Michigan community) sports blogger. See my post below.
Can you point to these Stac-M3 results and maybe at least mention that language? I wasn't able to find it.

Static languages are universally recognized and demonstrated as faster than dynamically typed languages, even if you claim to have found one rare exception. This is not just an opinion, it's scientific and objective fact.

But please share with us that code that runs more quickly on a dynamic language than a static language for you, I am genuinely curious (and equally curious to find out if you just made this up).
I love Coffeescript. Even with ES6+ around, I ALWAYS used coffeescript when I work on projects. Because, my end goal is a business user who cares if his software functions correctly or not, not whether my stack consists of bleeding edge.

It's easy to oversee the benefits of CoffeeScript - "It just has a nice looking syntax", but in reality, it saves me a ton of time, not having to type all those braces. I'm a Ruby guy, it's really the difference between Ruby and PHP for me.

This is perhaps one of the best news items I woke up to.
The funny thing is, if you just eat the cost, any halfway conscientious worker is going to pay it back in kind. Maybe a few extra hours here or there, maybe a little bit more emotional investment in the work.

>The part I don't understand yet is who is the dumb money buying shares in these hollowed-out debt-laden husks from the private capital vultures? It almost always ends up badly.

Is this based on reliable statistics or on highly visible anecdotes? Perhaps the "dumb money" isn't as dumb as you think.
Respectfully, I see your complaint as conflating or combining several orthogonal issues. Addressing your sight-impaired grandmother's needs is a matter of accessibility; user-centric responsive design considerations relate more to CSS than JS.

Gotta push back against the "create more standardized doc types" bit (wat) -- it sounds like you want more APIs and more user-friendly tools for consuming them, which would be great and is more compatible with reality. SoA and recent shifts toward empowered-client approaches like GraphQL are steps in that direction.

I'm also glad you mentioned "documents" so often, because your ideas relate to a document-centric web. Which is not what we have. Rather it's evolved into an application delivery context.
Agreed! This is probably why Protolabs (NYSE: PRLB) is so profitable. They have incredible CAD/CAM automation technology along with proprietary part fixturing technology. This enables them to have unique efficiencies compared to a traditional shop. Most of the complexity is in the CAD/CAM.
To be fair, I would expect people to 'check in' on vacation as well.

Not every day - but if you have real responsibilities - others may depend on you.

I know it's not ideal ... but in a 'week off' I'll glance at my emails every few days, and maybe once or twice fire off a little note. That little note can make a huge difference to the machine.

Unless I plan to be 'in Rome' or whatever, in which case I would plan ahead, confer and make sure there was no reason anyone needed me and they knew I could not be reached.

But those expectations should be set.
What’s the value in raw vs cooked vegetables? I thought cooking makes their nutrients more bio-available. Do you really eat tubers raw? I can't imagine eating a potato raw. Our ancestors even always cooked them.

If it helps, AWS' default auto scaling algorithm specifically takes into account instances which are nearest to their next billing hour and prioritizes those for termination accordingly to, in theory, save money.
> I'd much rather have a clean, secure and well implemented option, rather than each company trying to hack together a solution that will be buggy, insecure and inefficient.

So with EME vendors can still do this: "hack together a solution that will be buggy, insecure and inefficient"

EME just gives a basic API and a way to get this DRM stuff into the browser. This doesn't do what you think it does.
Nice. I was just reviewing some TCP fundamentals with my friend for his class, specifically sliding windows and window control, etc.

It's as if they took what we were just reading in a compsci textbook for class and directly monetized it.

I hate reading on my phone on the way to work plus I'm lazy. Is there a book that does descriptive explanations of algorithms / data structures in audio? I realize not all concepts are easy to convey in this medium but it would be great to listen to.

I have the same issue. I have a Netflix subscription, but I also pirate things that are available there e.g. via PT, because I can then just use VLC and have that better user experience, including the possibility of taking the movie onto a train.

I think the limitations on playback are an unreasonable burden. More fundamentally, I think I should have the right to gain the fullest possible degree of control and knowledge of the workings of my computing equipment without being punished by the legal system. Just like I should have the right to repair, inspect and modify the physical objects I buy, should I be allowed to do that with my computing hardware and their information contents.

In the near future neural networks will recreate full software packages just from being connected to cloud-based applications that stream video and commands back and forth from a browser window (or a VNC-like desktop client/app). The DRM systems will always be cracked, because you fundamentally can't and should not be able to control what people do with the information you give them, and eventually even running the DRM by not sending the executable code at all will not be enough to make software impossible to copy.

However, I don't think this will be a large problem, because you can still fine people for sharing copyrighted material with randoms (I'm not sure I think that's a good idea, haven't thought about it enough), and once you have enough clients that integrate content stores and payment functionality with playback, you can get a user experience that is so much better than that of Spotify.

I think the right to free computation and inspection, repair, integration and modification of computing systems should be enshrined in national constitutions, as it is as fundamental as the right to free expression, and perhaps just the newest incarnation (and necessary extension) of that same principle.
Last year's macOS Sierra won't install on my wife's 2010 Macbook Pro. Apple doesn't seem to always roll off support every year. I'm guessing some version adds new tech and they drop support for 3-4 years worth of hardware all at once (that hardware is usually at minimum 5 years old).
The Language of Thought Hypothesis
I wonder if there's a similar correlation between the gut and something like ALS.
Is there a breakdown of the expanded HTML/JS?
I'm somewhat sympathetic to the argument for DRM (we need to ensure artists receive fair compensation for their work), but I wonder:

If the entertainment industry could survive the age of "DVD ripping with abandon", can't it survive the age of "people copying Netflix movies with abandon"? Do industry leaders anticipate the latter will be much worse than the former? Is the cash flow situation that dire?

Or is DRM about something besides preventing piracy?
Lol. So back crypto $ with trillions of $ of debt going back to the Louisiana purchase; kept alive by a pyramid scheme dependant on a certain and limitless supply of debt free immigrants, after they continue to prove they don't require anything concrete to generate demand & subsequently value?

Aka: how interested are people in a cryptocurrency worth market value minus 20 trillion $?
It disappeared before that, under Rich Rodriguez. Rodriguez lead Michigan to maybe the worst season in its history (2008), his recruiting was awful (I forget the number, but his predecessor and successor were among the best in the nation, as Michigan always is), and he is the only Michigan head coach since 1900 with an under-.500 record overall. He never beat either of Michigan's rivals, Michigan State and Ohio State, and earned Michigan it's only NCAA sanctions ever.

Brandon fired Rodriguez - an easy call but one which earned the enmity of a sports blogger who loved the coach and maligned Brandon (which is what the post above is really about; see my response below) - and hired Brady Hoke. In Hoke's first year, they went 11-2, beat Ohio State, won a bowl game, and the team's defense went from ~110th in the nation to the top 20. Hoke did slowly decline after that, and was fired after an under-.500 season; his weakness was offense, which he just couldn't raise to an elite level.
I'm just annoyed that PHP doesn't handle HTML tags natively as their own distinct entities. Not having to quote HTML as strings or switch into and out the rendering context with PHP tags makes templates a lot easier to reason about and cleaner. With that, you can natively get features like auto-escaping, HTML tag validation, extending or creating custom tags, template inheretance, all of which you can do in PHP but only if you include the overhead of a framework.
I won't pretend to be an expert, but very vaguely, if I know anything about react: you would have to modify the local state of the form (if it's possible at all by a 3rd party in fb frontend code) and react/flux will modify the dom for you. If you go more directly (on the DOM for example) you will get overwritten by the current state as soon as react re-renders
We got along fine without them for tens of thousands of years ;)

I spoke too soon. We were an hour late getting the food in tonight and sure enough it was back in the food. They must "round" every night. One down. At least this article helped with mental preparations.

I wish there was something more preventative we could do. Probably just not have outdoor cats and not care what creeps around at night. Having chickens and active predators all the time would be a different story altogether.
I think it's foolish to think that. Right now, if you wanted to share a video from HBO to your friend (assuming you couldn't give your account), what are your options. There's no easy way for you to just give that content to your friend. You'd have to link them to a third-party site hosting the content, which is not the same thing.

With no DRM, it would be as simple as doing a right-click and copy video link.
As far as I know, if a malicious user compromised the CoreOS update central and pushed a new rolling update, then everyone using CoreOS and (presumably automatically) received the rolling update will also be hacked, the end.
This is an even bigger evil. It's no difference to a botnet . I don't know if CoreOS has some kind of update signing/verification or what but based on my assertion I wouldn't suggest using it.
At the very least, it's ridiculous that we allow humans to do this with only minimal training and infrequent, often nonexistent, ongoing testing.

Humans are always fallible no matter how well trained, but there are differences of degree. The way it is in the US right now, it seems like half the drivers can barely manage to keep their car in the lane.
You're looking at this as black and white, when reality doesn't work that way. It being infeasible to completely remove DRM from everything doesn't mean there isn't value in discouraging its use. And that's exactly what economic and practical incentives would do if including DRM meant they lost users.
Caution: loud
I decided I wanted a laptop, so I got a T520 (i5-2520M 4gb ram) and put a little SSD in it.

True perfection comes with NixOS and XMonad, though. ;)

You do get better quality, but only if your system has an OS-level DRM implementation and the browser uses it. This is the case for IE Edge on recent Windows, but not much else.

Chrome on Windows uses its own Widevine DRM implementation instead of the OS-integrated one.

This shitshow is referred to as "robustness requirements" and Netflix apparently agreed to serve high-resolution video only to DRM implementations of certain "robustness" level (OS-integrated DRM with video drivers that co-conspire in enforcing restrictions on the actual device owner).
Could this be related to the push for Microsoft Visual Studio to be used as an IDE for WordPress and other open source dev.
