I was disappointed that I had to search for how to enable the caching services. That's done via the "Sharing" part of system preferences.

This is one of the features that was only in the Server option but is now available for free. We have a Mac Mini that's an iTunes server and always on. So I expect it will work great going forward for caching apps, music and photos.

My bad, I was actually talking about a very common tar idiom which is almost an automatism for me:

tar cvf/czvf/cjvf archive files (or -cvf/-czvf/-cjvf).

I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually using tar by going:

tar -c files -f archive

Online tutorials seem to also use my form: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/04/unix-tar-command-example...

Either way, bad form, I'm glad they fixed it :)

I really like the core concept of saving ideas/etc in one place and then splitting them up into categories based on how I'm going to deal with them.

The navigation isn't intuitive, but that's probably because it's new to me rather than inherently complex.

It's nice, but I wouldn't pay to use it, which I gather is the intention.
I'm just saying that just because you're willingly giving your DOB, doesn't mean it's not considered "sensitive information". An employer can use it to determine if you're old enough to work there (Arby's for example), but if it got out, someone could possibly use it against you, so it's considered sensitive.

I also have very poor performance with my 2015 rMBP and external Dell 4K display, but it's almost as bad without the display.

Although performance is greatly improved (and, seriously, the developers should be proud of the progress), there's still a lot of work to be done. There's significant lag in even non-network UI (e.g., highlighting the row under the cursor in about:config lags behind the mouse cursor by almost a second).

As much respect as I have for the developers for this progress, I still can't really use software that makes me feel like I'm intoxicated.
I'm not suggesting Google be the moral police: I'm suggesting Google take the necessary measures to ensure they are not operating a criminal enterprise. Generally, doing business in illegal goods is considered a crime, and Google was well aware that they will profiting on illegal rehab ads. But right now, they're not legally responsible for that, so they had no reason to do what they should've done: Individually have humans vet the ads.

Most businesses have to take reasonable steps to ensure they're not aiding and abetting criminal activity. Pawn shops register stuff sold to them and who sells it, and they lose out if something they bought turns out to be stolen. Gun stores run background checks. Banks end up on the hook for fraudulent charges. Google just profits and has blanket immunity from prosecution. Google made millions of dollars (at least) off sending people suffering from drug addictions to scammers, and got to walk away with all the profit scot-free.

I made the switch from Chrome to Firefox a couple of months ago primarily because of the open source and privacy aspects.

I have to say I was impressed by the speed improvements, and since I started using Firefox Nightly a couple months ago, it's gotten even faster. Only complaint is that I don't have a working LastPass plugin yet, though they claim they'll have it released by the time v57 is finalized.

I'd recommend anyone give it a try for a week or two and see what you think.

EDIT: I meant from Chrome to Firefox
Not unique to SV. And to be fair, fundamental constraints wax and wane, as well.
This is a terribly stupid bluff. Nobody is going to march on city hall because they won't relax regulations for the whims of a single, multi-national company.

It seems at least once a week we get another story showing how utterly incompetent the executives in charge of Uber's public image are.
There is local competition, Teo Taxi, I'll take them over Uber anytime. The prices are about the same, though their coverage is still somewhat limited.
In case we have any Arch users, I took this opportunity to learn more about AUR and created a Komodo-IDE package for it

I ride my bicycle all winter. When the weather gets bad, I go a longer route with better bicycle infrastructure where it's safe to go slowly and I'm not being tailed by a car. If I lived in a city where no such route existed I would resort to other means of transportation.

Why do you "have to" build more car infrastructure? If traffic gets worse when the weather gets bad then there's even more incentive to bicycle despite the weather. That's the whole point of cycle-first, transit-first, pedestrian-first city planning: Cars don't scale, so stop trying.
These regulations arguably put Uber at a significant disadvantage. 35 hours of training is annoying if you're going to be driving a taxi for 60 hours a week; it's prohibitive if you're considering driving an Uber for 6 hours a week.
There's a lot of simple improvements that could be made to the syntax. Some DBMSs (mostly Postgres) do make syntax improvements, but I'll never understand why Oracle still doesn't support "is <not> distinct from". If I want to do a join where null == null is true, I have to write

(NOT (a <> b OR a IS NULL OR b IS NULL) OR (a IS NULL AND b IS NULL))

instead of "a is not distinct from b".

The query structure is odd as well. I think it should more like

from <tables>
[declare] <calculations, scalar variables>
[group by]
[where]
select

Where declare is a section to declare variables (or virtual variables), so that you do not have to rewrite a calculation every time it is used. You could also declare scalar variables there. There's also no reason to have both a where and having clause.
They are obviously safer though, as evidenced by the differing rates of pedestrians injured by cyclists vs cars drivers.
While I agree that there are situations where "network egress" can become a large part of one's bill, I encourage you to think of the technical impact of having something like Spanner and something like the Google network.

A large part of what Spanner does to sustain its high cross-regional availability at strong consistency relies on Google's powerful network [1]. Spanner isn't just source code - it's vertically integrated custom hardware + software + Google network + Google SRE - you would have very limited use from Spanner if you had just source code.

Example: Recently Google introduced "hot potato" network tiers that closer match AWS and Azure offerings (aka degraded Google network)[0]

I've heard that if you get off and lay the bike on its side, it can help trip the sensor. Usually they're electromagnetic, so on its side the bike is a good inductor, but not in its normal position.
LastPass has announced that they will have their extension updated by the time 57 hits release. I'm not sure it's fair to expect them to have something for Beta even if their competitors do.

I'm a longtime NYer who recently moved to SF. for the past 10 years I've commuted by running each way, ~3-5 miles each way. plenty of experience with bikes and cars in urban areas.

Biking on the sidewalk is WAY more common in SF than in NYC, especially in manhattan. In SF, there seems to be a few main reasons:

1 - Biking on the street would clearly be unsafe. An example here is 3rd st between portrero and soma.

2 - Biking on the sidewalk on the block where you are stopping. These are people that usually bike on the street, but pull onto the sidewalk when they are leaving/entering a building. I understand this, but wish it wasn't so common.

3 - ignorance of, or just not caring about, biking rules and conventions.

It's easy to assume that #3 is always the case and get angry about it, but it's frequently #1 or #2 and I do think some empathy is called for.
React 16: A look inside an API-compatible rewrite of our front end UI library
I have previously in several HN comments been vocal and adamant about leaving the Mozilla shipwreck before it foundered on the shoals of 57.

And I may have been wrong.

At long last there is meaningful information on addons.mozilla.org about what actually works now, and what doesn't. Looking nowhere near as bleak as it all sounded just a few months ago. I can have my uMatrix, I can have something Flagfoxish, I can open tabs by rightclicking links, I can have meaningful search from context menu. I can have something which doesn't look like Chrome. I may actually give the thing a chance.
The third level sounds rather like navel gazing.
There is a solution to this problem - the Freedom from Equifax Exploitation Act, drafted by senators Elizabeth Warren and Brian Schatz.

Naturally, not a single republican supports this legislature.
Ask HN: Running Node on Linux with RSS More Than 16 GB?
We have noticed that Node's spawn() is not asynchronous on Linux with memory RSS more than 16 GB, blocking the event loop for as much as 2 seconds.
The issue comes down to Linux copying the entire RSS each time spawn() is called from the main event loop thread. Moving the call to uv_spawn() to the threadpool would likely fix the issue by not blocking the main event loop thread.

If you think you might be affected, there is a short script to reproduce here:

This is the correct answer. The tort system is designed to make people whole. If you haven't suffered damages then there's nothing to sue about. Copyright infringement is a red herring, IP is an entirely separate area of law from torts.

If you've been harmed by Equifax but it is difficult for you to legally prove the chain of causation, that's a problem that tort law needs to solve. The law is flexible enough to come up with such solutions, albeit slowly. See for example the doctrine of market share liability.

Only when training is lacking. And I don't mean this in a derogatory message, either. People that are trained with a keyboard are pretty much guaranteed to be faster than folks that have only learned to work with a mouse. Discover, though, will be much much faster with an exploratory interface. To that end, the mouse will lead to faster discovery in most cases.
I didn't mention bragging rights.

Your comment supports what I wrote.
I've been feeling that way for a while and whenever they send out surveys express my opposition to it.

They do seem to be working more with NAS OEMs to get Plex up and running on their devices seamlessly. And their recent support for Network based TV tuners is an interesting move.

The cloud integration works pretty well and I've used my 1TB of O365 OneDrive storage to host somethings in the cloud. The biggest problem I have is that some of my content has to be transcoded for the client and Plex doesn't do a very good job telling me what so I'm hesitant to throw it all up there. Otherwise the idea is sound and I'd use it to avoid consuming my ISP allotted bandwidth (fu comcast) when streaming remotely.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they offered a STB or SmartTV that ran the Plex Client exclusively.

I do not think this is true at all. See, for example, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/aug/24/google-se...
We've talked about this before many times, but as a person who used to live in Europe I never quite understood why Americans don't have a national ID. Maybe something with a chip, anything better than a social security number basically. Make it free so anyone can get it.

I've heard all kinds of reasons to not have IDs they don't make sense - IDs are racist apparently, or some kind of a right wing conspiracy about government controlling people. Many other countries seems to manage with national IDs, some are more poor, some just as technologically advanced.

I'm not sure what Uber thinks is so different about what they provide at this point. There's a lot of work in Montreal already on alternatives for Uber -- I'm sure that will continue.
But will it include these updates, or they are limited to developer edition only?

When I am a pedestrian I would much rather take my chances with a inconsiderate biker than a inconsiderate car driver.

Bikers killing someone are extremely rare. Bikers getting killed by drivers is more common (citation needed).

When I am biking I'd much rather be riding slowly on a sidewalk than getting killed by a inconsiderate driver.

Where I live it is legal to ride on sidewalks in streets with no bike lines. So instead of taking my chances on a busy street I'd much rather ride slowly(10-15 km/h) on a sidewalk.

In an ideal world the cities would have specific bike only lines which cover all areas. I hear Copenhagen and Amsterdam are good with this.

Speaking as someone perpetually puzzled by the American healthcare system, from an economic standpoint, it seems like it is primarily the responsibility of government or perhaps the insurance industry to fix this. (Government, of course, is paralyzed. As for insurance companies, I don't understand that well their incentives and the impact of regulation on them. For instance, could they refuse to pay for expensive treatments or for relatively ineffective treatments, and would it be worth it for them?) It is good that Google is finally cracking down and bad that they didn't earlier, but it is a bad idea to present corporations (or people) with opportunities to legally make huge profits by doing harmful things (or allowing harm to harmful things to happen).
At least such a support is not listed on

I'm sympathetic towards the argument that Google should do more, but besides banning these advertisements overall, how should Google verify a legitimate clinic vs an illegitimate clinic? Would these proposed solutions actually get in the way of scammers, or would they just add to the cost of doing business with no real gain for consumers?

I'd agree if Uber was really acting as a ridesharing/carpooling service. I don't know that I've ever had an uber (or lyft, for that matter) driver who drives less than 20 hours a week.
Is the 6 hour a week Uber driver really a significant force?

I know early on it worked like that. I thought now you either have 20h a week drivers who only drive during busy times, or 60 hour a week full timers. With the bonus structure etc. I thought it was hardly worth the 6h a week plan?
Austin was doing fine with the competitors until the Texas State Govt. passed a law overriding city regulations. I think that was a huge mistake. We were doing fine with the competitors, and I would have continued to use them despite them being slightly more expensive, if only in spite at Uber's actions.

So I kind of rely on Xmarks since I have to run on multiple browsers, and afaik it's still the only cross-platform sync system. Unfortunately it's also pretty much abandonware and highly unlikely to get ported to WebExtensions :/ Is there anything else out there that has similar functionality that would be compatible?

Non-austenite here. If I arrive in Austin by plane and Uber or Lyft isn't working, knowing nothing about the local alternatives, I guess I have to take a cab.
It IS an outliner. I tried using outliners back 10 years ago and became frustrated with options available. There were no good online outliners and the best desktop outliner, OmniOutliner, is only available for Mac. I tried a bunch on Windows but they were really buggy or didn't meet my needs. Then Workflowy came out and just worked.
I suspect they make you get out and call a cab home ;) Plenty of police at the airport, wouldn't be hard.
You're kind of assuming there's no moral weight on the other side of the scale.

Statistical morality is not something that humans or even moral philosophers are very good at, but that doesn't mean it can be ignored. Statements like "the probability of a flood exacerbated by sea level rise causing X million people to die in Bangladesh goes up by Y for every liter of gasoline you use". Y is very small but it's not zero. Does that mean that if some disaster happens everyone who uses gasoline is very slightly culpable? It's difficult to talk about.

> forego the comfortable high-energy lifestyles

One interpretation of the IPCC reports might be that "if all 7bn+ people on earth use American levels of energy from fossil fuels then the average temperature will rise by an amount which will cause massive crop failures". That is, it might be impossible as a matter of physics for everyone to have comfortable, cheap high-fossil-energy lifestyles while still growing enough to eat.
