And this is not the end of the history. Would be naively opening the door to a full hell of pain.

Try to give one candy to calm a child having a tantrum in a room full of them and see what happens when the other children realize that crying, breaking toys and banging the head on the wall equals to be rewarded with sweets.

You allow somebody to break the law and jump over the constitution just because they are inconsolable otherwise. You fell in the trap. Now you must grant the same treatment to the rest. Similar referendums were demanded (and should have to be allowed in the very next day) for Euskadi, Galicia, Canary Islands, Asturias, Leon, Andalucia and only god knows what more. Two can play this game, and ten also.

The idea is not Germany allowing or not a referendum for Bavaria; or UK trying to please Scottland; the idea would be: you must now be forced to grant referendums for each single state in Deutschland or UK to make us happy "or we will stop breathing (and will create a permanent state of confrontation and street disturbs)".

If someone doesn't want to be in the larger tribe just because they refuse to integrate, then they are in the wrong.
Yep. I replaced my Nexus 4's USB connector (and the separate little PCB it's mounted on). It was really easy. The hardest part was getting the case open, which took some patience.
Changing the constitution isn't feasible? Are there any pro-separation parties in the national parliament?
Seeing a professional is not an all-in-one solution. Often small tricks like that mean the difference between having something done and not having it done.
I just left Barcelona a couple hours ago, the capital of Catalonia. Everywhere you look, Catalan flags, signs demanding 'democracia', demanding freedom.

I'm told this is just normal for the region, but if this is normal then independence is eventual.
Would you please stop posting this kind of comment to Hacker News? It breaks the HN guidelines, specifically this one:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Also this one:

"Assume good faith." (<-- Edit: whoops, haven't added that one yet! It's coming.)

Blatant nastiness is easier to do something about because it's so obvious. But when people degrade discussion by replying to the worst about each other, the frog boils more subtly.

I guess you have never had depression then. This is the kind of comment that only makes depressed people feel worse. It's like saying to a depressed person, come on just cheer up. Criticism or kicking someone when they are down with depression like you just did is unwarranted, mean and dangerous.
Being broken-hearted for that long must be really painful for you.
Internet activity that promotes illegal actions is already illegal, and there are laws in spain allowing for these raids and closures.

Edit: "Getting away with it" is mostly a question of "which side are you on?". Independentists and most non-government supporters think that what's going on is outrageous, whereas government supporters are totally fine with it.

These laws where passed mainly to fight against piracy (think thepiratebay). Of course the excuse was that it was a tool against terrorism and pedophilia though ;)
I doubt they will be taking resources from the default Gnome desktop to attend to XFCE issues: Xubuntu = Ubuntu + XFCE, which I believe is not formally supported by Canonical similar to Kubuntu (KDE)
I think in many first-world nations, distributing info intended to enable others to commit a crime is, itself, a crime. (Which is not to suggest I agree with the state's legal ruling here.)

Edit: but of course the referendum itself being illegal does not necessarily imply that voting in it, is illegal. And it seems more reasonable that the state could determine the results of the referendum to be non-binding per their constitution, rather than being justified in preventing it from taking place.
Are there any sites out there that have a good drag/drop experience on mobile?
Despite the borderless appearance of connected networks, we still operate within society. We either need to operate within societal rules, or make an overt decision to subvert them. No different than any other activity, really, except that we may not live in the jurisdiction we're respecting/subverting (though mail fraud has been a thing for hundreds of years).
If the Spanish government wants to redirect or modify the contents of the page, then you would get a different hash than the one provided by Catalan officials.

I guess it really depends on what definition of impotent you use. To quote the author: "He’s impotent because he is captive to something else."

This author has quite a few posts that make some very strange and out there claims.
I'm not going to claim to speak for OP but having been in a similar situation, alcohol helps muffle the emotions.

Wow, I guess haters gonna hate, because E85 only has 71.94% of the energy of a standard gasoline gallon. Of course Diesel#2 has 114% and biodiesel B100 has only 104% of the equivalent mileage per gallon.

They're kind of like a facts... or is it mobile link hate?
Yeah, I was commenting on learning distributed programming, rather than configuring distributed service (regardless if goal is performance or redundancy). Configuring distributed services is boring

> More interestingly is that Highways England has now recognised you cannot share space safely between vehicles with very different speed profiles and developed design standards for delivering better road networks that support walking, cycling, and driving.

Here in Seattle, the vast majority of bike vs car accidents are (relatively) low speed left and right turns (of cars into bikes) [0]. The issue isn't just speed profiles. This is of personal interest to me as I am typing this up one handed after recovering from (among other things) tendon repair surgery on my right hand from a negligent left turner.

I don't know about motorcycles, but once you learn to control your bike beyond steering on flat ground (hopping curbs, maintaining balance at a stop or at low speeds, recovering from skids) you can get your bike out of sticky situations.

I feel much more at ease on a bike than in a car. Not to mention you aren't gridlocked in a huge box when the traffic gets bad.
Being around long enough to recognize what's going on increases the chance of some intervention. Casual criminals usually try to avoid areas with a lot of pedestrians (more chance of a do-gooder I assume), whereas roads with a lot of cars seem to be less of a deterrent.
Haha yeah, Expo itself generally works on both iOS and Android, but this particular demo in Expo works on iOS only since it needs ARKit. Here's an edit of the demo to just use a standard THREE.js camera and scene and not an AR one: https://snack.expo.io/rJCl4mnib It should work on Android. You can still edit the code (like the box dimensions) to see the changes immediately!
OK, but voting in this referendum, even under current spanish law, is not actually commiting any crime.
I really wonder why we have such a hard time to get along with each other...

Fasces are supposed to represent the general concept of law and governance. Since law is ultimately always about forcing (some) people to to do something that they don't want to do, the symbol does have violent connotations, but I'd call that truth in advertising - another take on Mao's "all power comes out of a barrel of a gun". So, it is authoritarian in a sense that the generic notions of government and rule of law is authoritarian.
Breaks scrolling on mobile, if you happen to start a scroll at the wrong place. I would be seriously pissed if I’m just trying to scroll but this thing stopped me.
Can you please define this term "cloud technology"? I always thought it was a marketing term for "the internet", which then would be just a bunch of servers, vms, and containers; all of which we have had for over 20 years.
You need a bit of feedback for this. There is a big amount of people in Cataluña that doesn't want the independence. There is people who wants a completely independence and doesn't understand the consecuences. And there is a lot of corrupted politics that wants only a partial independence to be avoid judge by the law.

I post a video in my first comment, take a look. It is nothing to be like what happens in China or Venezuela, the comparison is a non-sense.

EDIT: I forgot the people who want to use it as distraction to avoid talking about their corruption and other issues.
150 years after the US civil war, the confederate flag is still flying around. I wouldn't be to hasty to call it eventual.

So they discover that he was routing contracts to his own companies, for any other employee this would be unethical behavior and out of the door, but no, this is just fine in this instance. And then, many years later they get surprised...

This entire story is mind-boggling.
It looks like it's made by a UK or European company, which might affect their priorities.
Negativo mijo, we must strive to accept cultures that can mesh well together. Imagine a world where everyone was the same, and nobody had a unique identity. It would be incredibly sad and sterile.
Is it just me, or is the I-bar cursor positioning off? The "point" seems to be top-left corner (like a arrow cursor), when it should be the center.

Also, a typo:

> If you needed a feature that wasn’t already available, chances are the community needs it to.
> someone on the net is in no way going to hinder Musk

Depends. Is that `someone` the future employee or investor that would otherwise have played a critical role in the company achieving this task?

My point is that disbelief can stop the right person from taking the right action the company needs.
You're probably right, but I think Google could make an argument that any app which is even adjacent to "illegal activity" may be a violation of their ToS, regardless of the app's actual legal status. And there's much less argument to be made here for Google's obligation to tolerate this use-case because their store does not operate as a monopoly on the platform like Apple's does.
Cute examples, but nothing useful as far as building out a drag and drop UI. I assume this is being used on the Shopify template editor and not a new web game engine they're working on... would love to see examples that are a bit more practical.

It also took me a while to even realize the landing page was interactive. A good DnD UI should make it clear to the user what pieces are interactive.
I commented before the edit, but even after the edit I don't agree. (As someone who volunteered assisting mentialy handicapped homeless for 3 years).
I like that you're upfront and detailed about your experiences and do not generalize. Much appreciated.

I should tell you that these big body shops have a reputation for hiring really bad programmers, basically because they have "processes" that they use to turn these people into problem solvers in very specific domains. More often than not, that is what their clients want as well: human eyes on a system designed and written by someone else. When in college, these were known as "bus" companies, because they would give job offers to a busload of students, but all the offers were pitiful and the work horrible.

Just like you noticed, if you want to see real talent, look elsewhere.
Probably the same way China banned WhatsApp earlier this week.
>This racism is again mirrored in the huge salary difference. Are those Indian workers really worth so much less?

Nobody anywhere in the world is paid what they are "worth". They are paid whatever is necessary to keep them at the company. In other words, as an employee the competition is other employees in the same market.

It has nothing to do with racism, that's just intellectually lazy.

>By not paying a competitive salary, those IBM offices in India are lacking the deep experience of western programmers.

Paying a higher salary doesn't suddenly make the Indian workers smarter. It just makes the job more attractive to where the stronger experience is (currently the US).
Without understanding the history of Spain and Cataluña it is easy to make false assumptions. I post a video in my original comment that talks about this. Take a look to it. The referendum is a big mistake and going against it it is also another big mistake. Things are being done the wrong way on both sides.
Nintendo has sold a great many NES and SNES Classics with non-working cartridge drives, and I'm sure a lot of the people buying those were geeks, so it must not go too strongly against it.
You are right, and I made a huge blunder while "prettifying" the code and then commenting it. It should be corrected now!

How to make execution speed 250 times faster, without changing hardware
Too late for me to edit, but the Analogue-NT Mini is also FPGA. I got that wrong. Pretty sure the original NT was fully hardware, not FPGA, but I don't think it's available anymore.

Main difference between the two linked products, then, aside from appearance and maybe build quality (can't say which is better, don't own either), is output options, as best I can tell (the NT has a lot of AV out options). And price, obviously.

[EDIT] The reason video out options are important, aside from aesthetics, is that some peripherals require a CRT. Notably the Zapper.
Integration is often just tribalism at a larger scale. In Russia, for example, there's a popular line of thought that basically denies that Ukrainians are a separate nation - the claim is that they're just a "misled" subset of Russia, that their language is just a particularly badly distorted Russian dialect etc. It's not about integration - it's about Russian domination.

For another example, Turkey treats Kurds in a similar vein.
Critical Code in Millions of Macs Isn't Getting Apple's Updates
I fully applaud efforts to "get humanity off the rock". To the extent that building a rocket airline helps move humanity toward this goal, great! But, other than as a stepping stone to something bigger, this just seems like a silly distraction.

As for the very HN-ish "why don't you just go make XYZ?" retort, obviously it's because, like most of us (and unlike Elon Musk), I don't have the necessary truckloads of $100 bills necessary to make that happen. I'll get back to you after my windfall from selling PayPal...
I would agree with you if you would have compared Austin to Bangalore. But the fact is : San Francisco is in as terrible shape as Bangalore is. So moving from San Francisco to Bangalore would not lower your quality of life at all.

Sell benefits. If the tech is the benefit, sell that. You have to really understand what are the benefits of the solution you are providing. What problem are you solving for these people? Tell them your product will solve those problems.

Perhaps a link to the product would help us give you some ideas of what those might be.
No its not. Labor laws in the US specifically state you are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of national origin.
I don't think overuses should be a reasonable cause for defects within 2 years. If 99.9% of users use it less than X, then covering the last 0.1% is not a significant issue.

The top 5% on the other hand are IMO within normal usage patterns.

The exceptions seem to focus on using consumer products like a coffee maker in an industrial setting. But, 2 years is rather short term to be replacing these devices not to mention the overhead of a regular breakdown > replacement process.
"cloud technology" is "servers, VMs, containers" that is also SER (Somebody Else's Responsibility). Hence the term "cloud", as that was always used in network diagrams to refer to network connection infrastructure that wasn't yours.

Hey Dan, I really appreciate you responding here - I know things like Create React App have come in the past couple years, and that people love it - I'm not trying to take anything away from what you've built. I know the way I learned React isn't how anybody is ever going to make anything production quality.

I'll try to clarify. If you don't mind another comparison to Vue, their equivalent page: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/ says "Or, you can create an index.html file and include Vue with:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vue"></script>", while your get started page says "If you’d rather use a local development environment, check out the Installation page." I know, if I click there it'll say I have an index.html and I know I shouldn't do it that way, but if I have none of the infrastructure on my computer and I want to build my thing on my computer, I'm looking for the script - not installation instructions.

On that 'how to follow along' page, under prerequisites it says "Note that we’re also using some features from ES6, a recent version of JavaScript. In this tutorial, we’re using arrow functions, classes, let, and const statements. You can use Babel REPL to check what ES6 code compiles to.". If this was the first React tutorial I ever looked at I'd be completely lost here and concluding I don't understand the prerequisites. If I know anything about 'relatively new' things in Javascript or Babel then I assume that I'm expected to use it somehow to actually use those relatively new things in my browser, but I have no idea how.

Also, scrolling down a bit, "if you prefer to write code in your editor" is a list of 6 steps, one of which is installing Node and another is "Follow the installation instructions to create a new project." I might not need deep knowledge, but this feels like a lot of stuff to do to follow a tutorial in my editor.

Here's my story about the old, do-it-all-locally tutorial: I'd just started an internship, and got a brief about doing some dynamic UI generation from schemas in .net stuff I'd never used, and was meant to be designing a schema to use. I had no idea what that should look like, so I learned React with your old tutorial and within a few hours could iterate on a schema to build UI components like theirs in the browser. This was amazingly helpful to me, and looked way more impressive than it actually was when I showed the boss! I just doubt that I'd do that based on your current tutorial, because I'd be on a Windows machine and get hung up installing NPM or something silly.. and that feels like a shame to me.

Well, by that loose definition, there is absolutely nothing that is not 'natural.'
Many transportation systems are built using funds from selling land acquired at very low prices and then sold at much higher prices, once the transportation system is in place. Trolley systems in LA in the 1920's or road systems for the famous American suburbs.

Land on Mars is for the taking at the moment. What people will pay to live there is not known yet, but will be in the millions for some.
You mean besides all the agencies that have already gone to Mars?
It’s ironic in a tragic way that people fear monger about Oracle changing the MySQL license (which has not changed from before Monty sold it to Sun) and advocate for a fork operated by a company that shits on the very concept of open source.

If the MariaDB MaxScale licensing bullshittery didn’t make you think twice about relying on MariaDB, why do you worry about Oracle?
Minor, not patch.
My eyes hurt. Even though I was just "looking" for something like that I can't look at this landing page for more than 2 seconds :(
The attack mentioned on the page is brute-forcing someone's details from partial information:

"it can be used to “fill the gaps” of information about any citizen. If you know someone’s birth date and the area where they live, you can obtain their government ID by trial-and-error on that website."

The mitigation is slowing down the number of guesses/second that an attacker can try. In a well-designed key derivation function, an attacker with 100x the resources should only be able to try out guesses 100x as fast. That's what scrypt/argon2/bcrypt/PBKDF2/... try and achieve.

SHA and other general-purpose hash functions tend to be easy to parallelize, at least in parts, and you can get huge speedups on GPUs or even better, FPGAs/ASICs. That's why no-one serious still mines bitcoins on CPUs and the big mining syndicates [hire planes](http://uk.businessinsider.com/cryptocurrency-miners-rent-boe...) to ship GPUs a little bit faster.

This has nothing to do with collisions. It's to do with hash functions being designed to be fast, and key derivation functions are designed to be slow and memory-hard.
>We have a Spain-wide constitution. The Catalan government decided it has a democratic mandate by the people of its region to not abide by it. The NORMAL reaction by the state is to apply it, and stop the Catalan government from breaking it. It's only oppresive insofar laws and the judicial system are opressive.

Of course, the American Revolution was also illegal by the laws of the British.

It's also oppressive in the sense of trying to rule people without their consent.

If you try to let people choose, but the other side says no, what's there left to do?

I went through this at the same time as experiencing a major business failure. It sucked, and honestly 14 months later it still sucks but it does get better with time. Very very slowly, but it does. Be careful about creating a chemical dependency, it was weed for me, as that actually prolongs the recovery. I think these things help us in the early days, but eventually they block you from processing the feelings you have to process. Stay in there, it will get better.
Oh right well I guess all the ops in the world should just pack up and go home, it’s “boring” so no one ever need learn about it?
