I've been coding at home for 20 years now. I really don't know how I'd do in an office environment now.

I need quiet, solitude, and no interruptions at work, and a good nights sleep before it.

I don't know how people can code with music playing or people talking and coming in and out of the work space. I can't hear myself think with that around me and it bugs the hell out of me.

I code in spurts. If I'm focused I won't stop and I'll keep coding until I'm exhausted and get a shit ton of work done, and then I need time off.

When I'm tired and "burnt out" I can't code squat. I just sit there and stare and can't really follow and track logic and if I try to write something it's garbage and will break stuff and I'm better off not mucking with anything at all.

As far as tools go, I've been using BBEdit the entire time. I use it for JS, Perl, HTML, CSS, Python, plain old text and most everything else I might code. I use it more than any other app I have.

I still use "Fetch" for the Mac to transfer files. It works for me.

I use a few Raspberry Pi computers connected to my LAN and configured similar to my production servers for development and to keep working when I lose my internet connection. Where I live, in a rural area, that happens quite a bit.

I have a collection of disk images for the Pi that I use to prototype stuff on and experiment with. I can hack on those and break them or copy them and go from there or start over again on something else with a fresh install in just a few minutes.

The Pi has become one of my favorite tools. I can emulate the internet in my office on my desk and work on building a server dedicated to a specific task and then mimic the install on a production quality VPS. I even have a disk setup to use as portable PC on trips now and don't bring a laptop anymore. I bring a small bag of adaptors for monitors and a tiny wireless keyboard with a touchpad and that's it. Everything important is on a microSD that's easy to remove and conceal and replace.
Trello is worth a look.

> By no means do I agree with much of what is on the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS)

I also could have my nuances with some things said there. But I don't think there is so big of an ideological breach among people if the debate is proposed from a pragmatic and resolutive standpoint. Wouldn't many of us agree that a government should control or manage some resources and give free land for innovation in others? Couldn't we debate about what would be the most efficient way to organize a public governing body, area by area, and how?

They can't be that integral, since I didn't even realize it was supposed to be a poem until it was pointed out.
Just a meta though.

Given this is 'false' via Snopes (as expected).... And lets say you buy into the term fake news... Well you don't get much faker than this.

I get people are easily fooled for a short period. Read a news site, it takes a hour or two to think it over. But this story is > days old. It's past mob mentality level.

And if it's happening on this story what other HN stories would it effect..... Stories on morality I guess. This is in part a 'evil Cubans' meme. SciFi, we all want cool tech that breaks the laws of physics. Appeal to authority? We're trusting in the US government officials to not be incompetent? Mysterious... maybe is actually poison seems the next step in the meme's evolution....

As mentioned in the comments Canadians have caught this meme as well. It travels well in the populous, how does one create spaces were these memes are fire walled off?
I must speak up now, economy on decline, former BJP Union Finance Minister says
For clarity, I'm neither the author nor the subject of the post.

Though I share your sentiment.
In my opinion, the best balance would be to keep the focus on short, succinct, 140 character tweets, but to also give the option to add a "read more" section to any given tweet.

So you could eliminate tweet storms and give people a convenient outlet for longer-form thoughts, without just bloating everything. I expect 240 characters will largely result in people just using more words to say the same thing.
Some devs these days are using VMs extensively to develop on different projects and environments, and those devs need more RAM.

Sure, but it's absurd to have to set up custom text entry for an unusual character just to use a programming language. Especially when every other template language manages to do so with characters I don't have to customize my text editor to simply type.
Lets home this one doesn't have more suck-tion. ;-)
> I would be interested in a car like this for commuting. Unfortunately the rule in US is to restrict transportation options toward traditional automobiles.

What about this is not a traditional automobile? It's kinda small, but what "rule" "restricts" you from treating it as an automobile? It's basically an electric smart car.

Dyson needs to make a spherical megastructure that encloses the first 3 planets and uses all the sun's energy.. Not sure what we'd call it ... but I'm sure we could come up with a name for it... (this comment probably belongs on reddit not HN...but I couldn't resist)
It seems as if the author makes a nod to that point:

>We also need to focus on cheapness. The web has vast teams of full time developers building it. Much of their work is duplicated or thrown away, some of what they’ve created can be reused, and small amounts of new development might be possible … but by and large any NewWeb will have to be assembled out of bits of software that already exist. Beggars can’t be choosers.
Probably built to unacceptably low safety standards for the US market, at lower labor prices and/or import tariffs than a car built for the US market. I'm not saying they couldn't build a similar car for far less than $35k, but it would probably cost more than $5k.

Either way: nothing about this is a model 3 competitor. They're in entirely different segments.
Seems like a good idea. You could start a crowdfunding campaign now, right?

You could reach out to hardware accelerators like Bolt, Dragon Innovation, to see if they would gift you some advice.

I think you should avoid mentioning asthma as caused by smoking and pets unless you have non-anecdotal scientific consensus for it. I don't know what causes asthma myself, though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis seems popular and is in direct contradiction to your claim.

And, uh, wasn't there less asthma around a few decades ago when smoking was everywhere than there is today? Like, it seems like asthma rates have risen dramatically literally while smoking rates were decreasing dramatically. If I had to pick one side of the argument to argue, I expect I'd choose to argue that exposure to smoking actually reduces asthma, if it has any effect on it at all.
My guess: your own spies were monitoring your own diplomats, not dissimilar to what happened to the Senate Intelligence Committee [1], just with injuries this time. I wonder if the CIA disagreed or were concerned with what seemed like a Pope Francis/Obama led initiative to mend relations with Cuba, given the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, and wanted to see how things were progressing at the diplomatic level.

Would explain why the US has remained quiet and why relations with Cuba haven't soured, at least openly. In a country lacking internet infrastructure, a passive surveillance method makes sense - even if it comes with risks.

I clicked on that and selected California where I live, the search defaulted to 2015. In that year 0.007% of people had a firearm related death (3095 deaths in 39,144,818 people).

That 3095 deaths however includes:

* non legal gun ownership (felons, carry without permit, etc)
* clinically depressed people killing themselves, I'd be fine with mental health checks for gun ownership.
* terminally ill killing themselves (because there's no right to die in the California). Seems batshit insane that you can end your dog's life when time is right, but not your own.
* accidental deaths when a negligent gun owners lets it fall into the hands of kids, drunks, addicts, etc.
* gangs
* drug dealers
* illegal guns
* very high crime areas that I don't live in

IMO, the number that should be discussed is how many (non-suicide) deaths are there caused by legal gun owners/legal guns. My understanding is that it's a very tiny fraction of that 0.007% and once you remove the fluff the numbers are actually pretty comparable to the number of times people have actually protected their homes.

Personally I'm fine with someone who wants a gun, is mentally stable, not an addict/alcoholic, and will keep their gun locked when not in use so a kid can't find it, a thief can't easily steal it, etc.

However what I do see missing is that doctors, friends, family, etc should be able to vote/warn police about someone in an unstable state. Maybe like a fixit ticket where you could go in for an evaluation.
An exact copy of Google's compute billing system would be a step in the right direction. It is predictable, straightforward, and customer centric. Frankly what you would expect if Amazon retail designed it.

Update: I realize that their ability to offer this pricing schedule also has to do with their specific technical infrastructure and migration capabilities; but it's clearly not impossible to make these features a reality since it's been done already.
> One major problem with static schedules is that if you want more IPC, you generally have to change the ISA or have machine-specific loaders which mutate the code at load time (this is the approach the Mill folks take).

This isn't a problem with static schedules, it's a problem with VLIWs (well actually any exposed pipeline machine).

(And really not that much of a problem anyways)
They depreciate really fast. I'm not sure about still having years on the warranty, but fairly young EVs can be had for far less than the new price.
From things I've seen used:

Google spreadsheet (or more if needed, which can be linked or used to conduct polls, scheduling, manage sharing permissions, and have chat functionality (not saved))

And you could use something like groupme or slack and then link the documents from there and encourage group chat.
"Doing what you do to seek for what you desire is like climbing a tree to seek for fish." - Mencius

Coding interviews test for skills that aren't really the same skills you need to do well as a software engineer. I'm surprised the industry hasn't found any better way to evaluate job candidates yet, given how much is at stake.

US vehicle import laws are incredibly arcane. Ask any tuner who has considered importing a Japanese car. There is a huge amount of money involved in making a car safe for the US and having the appropriate tests administered.

Making people stop and think, and sometimes abandon what they were going to say, is a really good aspect of Twitter.
If you pass links to known sticker images, and the recipient has to retrieve them by means outside the Signal protocol, that reduces security. An observer can detect when a receiver fetches a sticker image, and they can tell which one. For example, noting that a message has forced the loading of collection "Gay"[1] provides much useful information to an observer.

Does Delta have to “import” the airplanes? As an airline, can’t they pretend the planes are based elsewhere, and just fly inside the States? Must be a loophole here somewhere.
To be honest the hair dryer is perhaps one of the best things I've ever bought -- it's literally worth more than the price point. It's a time machine. My spouse shaves 10+ minutes off her day every morning.

Having gone through many, many hair dryers, ranging from cheap to inexcusably expensive, the Dyson is hands down awesome. Perhaps other people have different experiences, but I love it.

A sidenote: I've owned two Dyson vacuums in the past, and I didn't really care for either.
I am a heavy car2go user, and have been for several years.

The previous generation fortwo was certainly a very unpleasant ride. Shifting would take literally seconds, uncomfortable suspension, and a not good entertainment system which would freeze up regularly.

car2go however has been replacing their legacy fleet with the new generation fortwo which is an amazing change. I find that the new cars are quite good to drive - all of my gripes from the last model are solved. I cringe on the days that I have to drive the old model, but the current one is great.

Even better are the Mercedes CLA and GLA that car2go now offers but sometimes the nimbleness and size of the fortwo is hard to pass up :)

Overall though I can say that the current fortwo model is an order of magnitude better than the last and it's certainly worth trying out if you were put off by the last.

4) So here i am, asking for help. This is not the first community i have reached out to (Imgur is a tough crowd to get support from) so i have little expectation of progress, but i think about it too much and i will keep trying to find support every year or so until something happens. Thank you for reading and please feel free to make any type of comment, question, suggestion, addition, or reproof. To reiterate, should this take off, i want to make sure that at the end of the day it is a net zero venture in terms of money (i am a historian and filmmaker, not an entrepreneur).

May you have clean air and a cleaner conscience.
Minimum 60 seconds = per minute billing.

Nice try google.
I've heard this story before and I think it might be apocryphal. Usually that same LA Times piece is cited as well.

More likely is that 160 characters was what the GSM signaling channel comfortably allowed, essentially making it free.

Its still this way today - SMS uses an out of band signaling channel and cell phone companies charge you as data.
Foreign carriers aren't allowed to fly domestic routes but must have an international connection.
Today's control plane is fairly smart about which routes are required for a given config change event (there's a lot one could speculate about here, especially around the word "required") -- fwiw, I also don't work on the control plane -- I have spent a lot of time on the GCE hypervisor network dataplane. So a fair amount of hand waving follows -- just assume details are missing because I don't know what they are :)

We aim for global convergence of network state as sort of an ongoing goal, but it's a distributed system with failure domain isolation, so that goal is necessarily flexible. There are different rates of convergence, and Solomon is certainly right that routes to first party services are some of the easiest to converge. Internet connectivity is to a certain extent the hardest thing to converge, as in our premium tier (which up until recently was our only tier) we aim to keep data on Google's network for as much of its journey as possible. At the extreme, this means a lot of edge nodes learning that a given external IP belongs to your VM.

Part of it is also just the mundane business of reconciling what a given configuration event means and propagating that to interested parties. With respect to your firewall example, it's really just another config change event with some set of implications for routes that are added or removed.

Anyway, that's my hand wavy explanation. Hopefully it's helpful!

You can lease them (from a Canadian/offshore holding company), NetJets is likely to be more competitive as a result of this.
epic rant! love it!
I believe the 'importation' counts if a US company buys anything, anywhere.
Also, the Chinese government's main goal is maintain 6-7% economic grow and by any mean possible.

It will do anything possible to expand manufacture base, use all necessary means to acquire, absolve, develop, own technology/market.

US government/society has diverse conflicting interested.

* Walmart wants import.

* Consumers wants cheaper goods.

* Defense industry wants war.

* Biz want less regulation.

* Environmentalists wants less/no pollution.

* Other groups want more/less spending/tax on their own pet issue/projects.

I hope Boeing has done their napkin math correctly, because the Canadian government has threatened to cancel their Super Hornet purchase over this dispute.

That's a $5 billion dollar order that may have just gone up in smoke:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau threatening to scuttle the country's plans to buy $5 billion worth of F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets from Boeing

It would cost the Canadian government a lot of political capital to back down on this threat, so if the US is intent to apply an import tariff to the C-series I can absolutely see Canada cancelling the Super Hornet order.
I remember hearing something identical to this about ships: The Jones Act [1] which requires all ships moving from US port to US port must be mostly US owned and mostly US crewed.

It is hard to explain so kindly forgive the butchering. But there was a point in my meditation where everything was perfectly still and calm, and suddenly, I don't quite know how to explain it, a thought formed in my mind. It is not a thought in the tautological sense, where one idea flowed to the next, but it arose from a state of nothingness.

At the same time it couldn't be nothing, because how can something (a thought) come from nothing. It wasn't quite gross enough to be perceivable hence I termed it subtle nothingness..
I just alias 'pull' to git pull, it's much nicer. Also 'push' and a few of the other most common ones.

Don't use Plivo. It's the worst provider ever. 5 months ago they forgot to renew their domain and all services were unavailable for 2 days. and this was not the first time we experienced such issues with them.
Europe is full of sub-$9K models like Toyota Aygo, which has 4 stars on NCAP. So doesn't look like unacceptable safety standards are the reason.
Someone stole my identity on Upwork (2016)
Right, but coliveira didn't mention import. I for one would love to own a Hilux instead of a Tacoma, but if Toyota made a Hilux in NA then there would be no rule that restricts you from it. I agree that the legal standards for occupant safety are far too stringent, I feel like occupant safety should be an optional feature (especially for people who drive in conditions where you're either guaranteed to die no matter what, or guaranteed not to collide).
Heh, for me ctrl-w means "extend selection to enclosing expression", which leads to the same issue in browsers.
I don't have it in front of me but I would assume the FromJSON instance for Float expects a JSON number, not a string. If the remote API makes the (puzzling) decision to put numeric values in strings, then parsing those will be necessary. Although, I agree that the 'read' function is the wrong one to use here, due to it making the function partial (consider 'readMaybe' instead?)

What if anyone in the world who had an idea for a "new web", could build it tonight, and have it used tomorrow?

My solution to the "new web" problem is radically different (though to be fair, trying to reinvent the web is in itself a radical idea).

I've posted my idea to many similar threads, so I apologize for repeating myself, but I feel pretty passionately about it and I feel it's a good idea to try to spread. Until I start receiving convincing evidence / arguments that the idea isn't worth spreading I'll probably continue.

Imagine if we didn't have to decide what the "new web" was going to be, BUT we did allow that experimentation to take place? I say we shouldn't make it a requirement to "convince people it's the right thing to do before it gets built and people start using it".

What if users didn't use "browsers". Instead they used "meta browsers". An application which hosts browser engines. And not only could apps / documents / etc. be downloaded by this "meta browser", but the experience of switching between browsers was also seamless to the end user. If they didn't already have that browser engine they would be prompted to download it if a particular app / document developer decided they were supporting it.

In this "new web", the "document / app" developer decides which browser engine the "meta browser" should render their app with.

What if a browser engine developer decided he didn't want to support RFC https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986

It probably feels like they're on a suicide mission (for their browser), but why should it be a "requirement"? If the ideas are bigger and better and eventually catch on (ie. things we haven't even thought of yet) why should "the web" somehow dictate what core set of ideas are the right ones?
Safer than a motorbike and we allow those, and many commutes are entirely slow traffic - could be an opportunity to write a special law to allow these, within reason - what do you think?
It looks like Buzzfeed is the source of the claim here (everywhere I go, the Buzzfeed article's copy is what's cited), and they didn't provide a source for it that's easy to follow up: https://gizmodo.com/the-pentagon-worried-trump-was-about-to-...

I'll leave it to your judgment whether or not you think Buzzfeed's journalistic quality was up to par that day or not. (It varies.)
Personally, I don't want my typos corrected when I enter commands. I prefer the negative reinforcement to encourage fewer errors. I also don't mind an occasional error.

As background: the Quebec government bought $1B worth of the 'C Series program' (in terms of share value, who knows what that means, and it's a murky thing), which is the primary source of concern I believe.

Of course one could argue Boeing receives massive 'subsidies' from the US government in terms of pork-laden defence spending contracts. And other things, like incentives for various factories etc..

Airbus receives massive benefits from their network of R&D centres affiliated with Universities.

It's almost a farce to talk about aircraft manufacture as 'purely free trade' - its de-facto a partly nationalized industry everywhere.
