I think it's a deeper cultural issue than that.

Look at how much more expensive cigarettes are in France and the graphical warning labels that accompany them and then look at how much more commonplace smoking is in France, particularly among the youth. Regulations don't change cultures to nearly the effect many want them to.
I don't think the Duo ad is confusing - it clearly shows that the install button will take you to somewhere to install Duo.

The misleading buttons are ads on download sites that just say "Install" and make the user think it's the button to download the item the user is looking at (in this case, Paint.NET).
In case yo didn't realize it, when you create a compiler, you should invent a better language.

I made HolyC from God. It is divine intellect.

It is way better than C/C++.

the switch statements are enhanced.

It hilarious when you change an opcode when you write an assembler and someone retard thinks it is a different CPU or when you change a programming langugae when you write a compiler and the person thinks it doesn't compile. I wrote the compiler, you retard nigger. I have divine intellect, yew fucken monkey.
I wouldn't recommend taking creatine if you don't work out or get cardio. Without that, creatine can cause weight gain due to water retention. If you do exercise, creatine should an essential be part of your stack.

There was a kids' cartoon from the U.K. I think, where one of the episodes was about how spiders are our friends and you don't need to be afraid of them, etc.

When the show was broadcast in Australia they left that episode out, because all the spiders in Australia probably will kill you. :)
I think it's because the named version is being used (ipns) which may or may not be involving a lot of requests to the network to resolve (perhaps to the main node even). I've resolved and pinned the original content here: https://api.wisdom.sh/ipfs/QmXj5GjZ8WApwq79EyAeNZ2E6pQkJmbrj...

It's really not that simple. That's akin to saying the people of Russia and North Korea voted time and time again for Putin and KJU.

When 90% of media is either in prison or controlled by the state, when judges are appointed and dismissed based on their politics, when massive protest after massive protest is brutally crushed, when investigations into irregularities at polling stations are ignored, year after year after year, it can't be said that this is simply what the people voted for. The opposition has been being illegally and brutally suppressed for a decade.
Oh yea, totally. I bicycle to work almost every day (it's ~6 mi one way), but I'm lucky enough to live in a location with decent cycling infrastructure. I think another aspect of why most folks drive here (the US) is because a lot of locations have little or no infrastructure for getting around without a car. In the area where I am originally from (different part of US), you'd get smashed by cars pretty fast because you'd be forced to travel on highways/freeways.
There is, it's usually pretty easy to tell the difference. Doubt anyone would mistake them, and I doubt the OP is.
Aren't there existing implementations of decentralized data storage or database that use a blockchain?

I've thought a little about it, and I wonder what could be achieved. Storing the data on peers, redundancy, private or public access... I think it's possible, but I'm not really sure. Does anyone have already studied the idea?
Mm, no, this is a different argument than "why not tell fat women they're fat?"

I agree with you. But their argument was little more than an excuse to be rude.
I've been working on a side project to bring the best of both worlds. It aims to provide git repository hosting, issue tracking, continuous integration, and mailing lists to organize efforts. But I'll also be providing web tools for submitting and reviewing patches that provides a workflow familiar to GitHub users, but backed by mailing lists.

> it was just that no matter how much I tried I couldn't predict a future where I weren't constantly in agony

That's a great way to put it. I had a few depressive episodes in my life, I know that these thoughts and feelings are symptoms. The inability to feel, even the hopelessness are symptoms of the disease. Usually, I can even pinpoint the cause of the episode. But another symptom is the inability to imagine a state of mind without depression. And no matter how rational you are, it is very difficult to believe in something that you cannot imagine.

The big news here is the inclusion of arm and arm64 specific files, which used to be excluded in source drops previously.
I am a bit reductive but I really hate it when people draw these clear boundaries and then associate certain attributes with the groups they just created. There is no clear line between junior and senior and there is no clear line between liberal and conservative. These labels hinder improvement.

Back to Junior vs senior: there are plenty of senior devs who do exactly the same stuff. So in my mind it's not junior vs senior but people who think about what they are doing vs others who don't.
I think this should be a lesson in better disaster preparation and response, not a lesson in handling payments.

Here is the city's 2015 housing inventory: http://default.sfplanning.org/publications_reports/2015_Hous...

It has more specific numbers, like in 2015, the city built 3,000 units and tore down 25. 15 of those were single family houses, which is not a category of housing that is affordable by any measure in SF in 2015.
Vastly more affordable units are lost in SF through merger, Owner Move In evictions or just the previous tenant moving out and the new tenant being charged more than by demolition.

It very much confuses the housing debate to believe or claim that every time a new apartment building goes up, it means by default that dozens of low income people were kicked out to make that happen. That is just not true.
At least this proof didn't come with an NDA :-)

There seems to be some confusion on whether the iOS kernel was or was not newly open sourced and whether it's the complete iOS kernel or not.
I'll have to give this a read. I understand superdeterminism as not an interpretation of quantum theory itself, but a (often derisive) categorisation of Bell experiment explanations/loopholes. It could conceivably describe a class of interpretations, but I haven't seen a well-defined interpretation which falls into this class. Perhaps this book will change my perspective.
So is it a totally new story that iOS kernel is open sourced?
Not sure we should be giving advice. Our situation has worsen during the last 15 years. The quality of food is going down (and the prices for good food up), the health habits are too. Not in the same proportion of the US yet, but it's significant.

Compared to my parents or grand parent generation, the new ones:

- spend much more time seated;

- spend much more time in front of a screen;

- have much less people knowing how to cook. Or choose tasty fruits or vegetable for that matters, and hence they believe good food taste like crap.

- have more fat people, especially young ones;

- eat less home made food;

- consume more cereals, dairies, meat and refined sugar and less vegetables or fruits;

- eat more, and more often;

- consume products with less nutritional density, and a bigger concentration of additives of all sorts;

- eat while doing something else, faster, with less mastication.

So clearly our society is starting to fail on the health part as well.

Eat an apple. There's at least one door that you can get through on the first level (at least, there was for me, I dunno if it's randomized).
Beyond actually coding stuff, the day job, the primary focus of senior developers should be to educate and guide junior developers.

As a general rule the thing that gets a developer to start writing better code is when they eventually come around to the idea that writing tests and documentation is actually worthwhile. Then they start write code that they can write tests and documentation for, and then, as if by magic, their code improves.

As a senior the only thing you need to do is show them your tests and documentation, demonstrate why it makes life easier, and make sure they have time to do the 'additional' work of writing tests and documentation (juniors think it adds time rather than saving time; they think in the short term).

If you're feeling a little mean then you can decline their pull requests because the code doesn't have good enough test coverage. :)
You can get the size of an amplifier down with class D technology, but I am seriously annoyed at the whole "let's make tiny expensive speakers that cost $1200 a pair that sound worse than the $40 a pair speakers I picked up at a yard sale that belonged to a teenager who played the guitar in the 1970s" thing.
(disclaimer: I'm self taught, did a few months of University but couldn't afford more - dirt poor family).

I'm a little confused(and more than a bit shocked), isn't this what University is suppose to teach?

I agree with the author about mentoring and passing on experience(infact as soon as I have reliable net I'll be checking out his links in that article, and any previous posts he has made), but how can you pass any course without learning the basics of a switch statement.

Although I do admit in guilty of copy/pasting some code I have gotten online :-p (purely just to get-shit-moving again when I'm stuck, I'll always refactor later to learn how it works exactly).

Unless I'm missing something (hell I would kill for a junior dev job without the expense of University :-p), how did these juniors pass their exams?
Yeah, a public API anyone can sign up for, get a token, and call from anywhere to store key/value data, without needing to setup a server/database. Basically like Web Storage API, but saved in the cloud instead of locally, so that it persists.

I wasn't able to find anything that exists like this (if you know of any, please share). My interest is in using it, but if it doesn't exist, I wonder about building it as a service.

> What if people get depressed because their lives suck and they had a shitty childhood?

But people don't only get depressed because of those things; plenty of people's "lives suck" who aren't depressed, and plenty of people with good lives _are_ depressed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_depressive_disorder says:

"The cause is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.... About 40% of the risk appears to be related to genetics."

So yes, thoughts and beliefs are part of depression, but they certainly don't explain all of it.
Raw carrots and celery then.
There is a strong tendency in some people to create unnecessary splits everywhere. In this particular case being a senior developer means little. The author could well make a point without creating an artificial divide.

Great idea. I usually make checklists for small things when I feel lost and achieve them and feel accomplished. Things like "check x", "read about xx", 'backup file", "congratulate people with birthdays on FB"

When i mark them as done I feel better.
Posts like these make me very happy I'm hellbanned from this website.

An article talking about making life easier for women by removing all this odious, absolutely bullshit pressure to see themselves primarily as sex objects, measuring themselves against unrealizeable standards...

And the first top-voted reply is some complete nonsense about how we need more of that shit not less.

Fun fact: Obesity has far more to do with car-centric america.

Fun fact: Obesity has far more to do with poor cultural diets, food deserts, and poverty in America.

Fun fact: Making a goal seem completely unreachable is a great way to get people to give up before even trying.

And, since I'm already hellbanned: fuck you.
Why is water weight gain an issue?
Whole heartedly agree, I can't believe how well it breaks it down. I'm already looking forward to the next post about transaction verification. I'm actually going to try and solve it myself before reading the new post.

Or maybe some people legitimately were concerned for your health? The statistics are indisputable, being obese causes permanent damage to your body and reduces both the quality and length of your life. Wanting someone to frame this differently is a bit of an odd complaint.

I also used to be obese, and I also made my own decision to become healthy. I don't think you can force someone to become healthier, but I doubt that I would be in my current state today if nobody mentioned my weight to me. Maybe you feel differently, but ignoring a problem rarely helps make it go away.

Blaming your environment (Elevators? Really? Every building has fire stairs...) or society at large for people not being motivated to lose weight is an odd perspective (especially blaming people who are trying to help by bringing the problem to your attention). Letting things slide, and a lack of constant affirmation is what caused to me to remain obese for several years. There are better ways of helping (offering to go for a run with someone), but ultimately that's just a nicer way to remind someone of their weight.

Also, GP was pointing out the double standard when it comes to how anorexia and obesity are treated by society.

Show HN: “Nothing” Can Help You Be Productive [video]
Typically, videos that aim to help you avoid procrastination have a fatal flaw: most likely the watching of the video itself is procrastination.

This realization lead me to create a video to actually help people avoid the "YouTube procrastination effect", try adding it to your watch queue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dU56Hvp-kI

If you need a little context I talk about the concept (and give you an opportunity to make some actual progress on your own project) in Episode 4 of my series "It's Not Perfect": https://youtu.be/eWZyT4QQ_aI

Had feedback on Episode 4 that it did help at least a couple of people make progress on things they needed to do. Did it work for you?
I've always wondered why newsgroups aren't used instead of email. They pretty much have the same advantages of email and they're far better in terms of searching archives compared to email. Web interfaces for searching email list archives are painful to use. If it wasn't for services like gmane (and later public-inbox), it would be very difficult to view archives of those lists.

It's a democracy that brought this upon itself.

This is the country that gave us the expression 'deep state', so the idea that this was a strong institutional democracy that foolishly but genuinely voted itself itself into the current situation is pretty facile.
Half of the problem is not the infrastructure, but peoples priorities and the public perception of the pros/cons of a car. Also the value of the car as a symbol.

A couple will make 3 kids and say "I can't do without a car". But the couple never ponder the cost of making a family. The fact or having a car or not, and other matters of life style, are an after thoughs. And if you raise the issue, you are a cold robot for thinking that way instead of with your "heart".
I can only talk about Paypal from the payer side it's virtually frictionless in my experience and transactions can be disputed via Paypal or my bank. Buying and using bitcoin adds a number of extra steps as well as transaction costs in moving dollars into bitcoin as well as giving me no dispute mechanism.
One problem is that "junk food" is an ill-defined term, even though it may seem obvious.

For example, years ago Greek Yogurt became popular in supermarkets in the U.S. If you look at the nutrition label of a yogurt like Chobani, it contains roughly 4 teaspoons of sugar in one small container. And yet yogurt is advertised as a healthy food.

If you "quit sugar" in the U.S., you'll quickly realize just how many items at supermarkets have added sugar. I'm more concerned about "sneaky calories" then straight-up junk food.

I didn't realize he said 853 passengers. In the article it mentions 40 cabins. So I rounded to 50. We still don't get enough for fuel. And 1000 flights is pretty optimistic. Especially at this stage. Their rockets already aren't fully reusable (only just having tested reuse) and they have to replace parts. 10 flights is optimistic, let alone 1k. I'm sure we'll get there at some point, but I see no evidence of that technology currently.

I'm just saying that there are a lot of red flags and that one should be really skeptical.

>The officer said, ‘When I find someone with one of these knives, sometimes I arrest him, sometimes I give him a summons, sometimes I just let him go.’ ” Galluzzo’s partner, Zachary Johnson, also a former district attorney in Manhattan, adds that such discretion is supposed to be exercised by prosecutors, not cops on the beat. “An officer should be making an arrest every time or none of the time,” Johnson says. “Otherwise it’s just not fair.”
i'm implementing a webmail app as we speak (from the bottom up). my immediate thought was "wtf are 'conversations', gmail? of course i want threads!".

then i started actually handling the raw email messages. i got threads working pretty well but noticed frequent rendering issues and digging into the cause. my conclusion is, email threading is mostly a pipe dream; it can only be done properly if you have a view of the entire conversation (as is the case with centralized forums/message stores like HN).

the 'References:' header only represents the message ids of any particular branch up to the root. if you try turning a number of messages with the same root into proper threads, you quickly discover missing branches, partial branches/holes, missing leaf nodes, etc. If your knowledge of a thread starts with a message forwarded to you, no thread is possible (even though one clearly exists as indicated by the References chain in the header!). side-conversations that happen (selective replies, cc/bcc), additional fwd/reply chains are all invisible to you. sadly, an incomplete thread view is an extremely common thing (at least in my inbox/sent of ~15k messages).

the client can only thread the actual raw messages it has; those simply quoted in any replies or forwards (which established the Reference chains) don't count. the only commonality you have is knowing the root message id and the timestamp for ORDER BY. everything in between, you may or may not have to reconstruct a partial view of the thread...and each user will have a different view of that thread based on which parts they've been party to.

the threading that i did get working was nice, but not as useful as a bulletproof solution would have been. unfortunately, i don't believe that's possible with email.

i now understand why gmail does flat convos.
Thank you. VLC is a near-perfect product. I love the focus on utility, speed, and simplicity and nothing else. It is the WinAmp of video. It seems like you know what you're doing, but please resist pressure to iTunes-ify what you've built.
Exactly. Gnus is a marvelous client because it has really good NNTP and threading support (silencing and automatic scoring) that allows you to cope with gigantic volumes of email.

It's a bit sad the code is messy and it's a tad slow compared to other options.

Notmuch for Emacs has so much potential to replace Gnus. The interface is incredibly fast and friendly (a classic tree view and a threaded view that IMHO surpasses Gmail). Plus super quick search.

I think it could become a killer application for Emacs (the other two now are org-mode and Magit IMHO).

However, there's no good tooling to keep Notmuch in two-way sync with maildirs right now. Everything works based on tags, which is incredibly flexible, but there should be some tooling to implement logic that allows moving mails around based on their tags, so that the remote IMAP store gets tidy.

People usually rely on scripts for simple use cases, which is fine albeit a bit hacky. Some DSL that resembles Sieve, but implemented in ELisp would be cool.

I don't know that it's a badly written law so much as one which gives its enforcers and arbiters a lot of latitude to decide its jurisdiction because the bad behavior it's trying to control is so hard to pin down legislatively. The law could certainly be abused, and probably has, but the cases I've read have left me with nothing but admiration for the wisdom and consideration with which it's been applied. And that's despite the fact that I have a generally libertarian bent and a general dislike of over-broad laws.
