These are great tidbits for how a contributor can get the attention of a maintainer but I think these tips also inform well on how a maintainer can get more contributors.

Recently I started a new project and got 7 contributors in a week - more than I've gotten for any project ever. [1] I think its partly due to hacktoberfest but also because I realized I can't waste a contributor's time. I made issues with descriptions of exactly what should be done - where in the code they could introduce edits, and what kind of dependencies people could use to implement, etc. Though I could have done myself, I didn't have to and I also got to see some ingenuity of other people!

I will make the opposite bet to sibling comment and say not too much. It's too easy to just install nginx and let it terminate connections to bother with a hardware device that you have to buy, store, and maintain.

And many sites use CDNs or cloud services for connection termination. Cloudflare and Amazon are surely on top of these things.

I understand your point, but I'm not sure Apple ever presumed more iPhone8s would sell over the X.

Rumors are that the early manufacturing issues were around one of the face recognition modules, but those issues have since been fixed. Apple knows supply chain, they know how to get millions of units made, and I think they get it done. I'll make a bold HN prediction ;) and say the iPhone X will be the best selling item over Christmas and the best selling iPhone of all time.
That isn't my position. I don't appreciate having it implied about me.
Wait I thought we were all annoyed that AMP was being served by Google (at google.com even). At least that was my beef, that and clicking the X took me back to Google instead of to the actual site.

Journey into Haskell, part 6
I've used both MRT in Singapore and MTR in Hong Kong extensively and it's simply the future. Individually owned transit vehicles only makes sense in rural areas where there are no options. In larger cities, the only thing that makes sense is public transport. The externalities of individual car ownership creates so many negative factors in a cramped city environment that I'm convinced we'll look back at it and laugh in a hundred years. There won't be individual car ownership (except for collectors) because noone will want the liability when comparing it to the options.

I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think at the end of the day this ends up mattering much, if at all. For example, when trying to press the buttons quickly to reproduce the bug, I didn’t feel the slightest need to be precise. Similarly, if the buttons were physical, I believe they’re large enough that people wouldn’t feel much (if any) need to be more precise due to the inherent “slop” buttons have. Though, if you have reference to UX tests that show otherwise, I’d be interested in reading it.

Another UX issue I've seen with the iPhone calculator:

My wife is a nurse and uses the iPhone calculator to calculate doses. She performed a calculation like

2.25
/
1.5
=

It did give the correct answer of 1.5. However, there was no animation or blanking out of the display to easily distinguish between the operand of 1.5 and the result of 1.5. She thought it was a bug and wasn't giving her an answer. I always thought it was a little scary that such a horribly designed calculator was being used by so many medical professionals.
Show HN: 170+ free responsive design blocks based on Bootstrap 4
This one gets me all the time - if the system thinks the "wheel" is still moving, it doesn't update the value. So I am always having my alarms go off at the wrong time for the same reason - I set them in a hurry and click Done while the "wheel" is still animating but my selected time is in view, and the time I wanted doesn't register.

I'm not sure why it doesn't just set the time to the number that is mostly in the selection box and is being "snapped" to, instead of waiting for the animation to stop
Stopping ransomware: Protecting your data with Controlled folder access
It is making one mistake, it is parsing and scraping in the same loop. You should pull the data, store them and have another process accessing the data store and perform the parsing and understanding of the data. A "quick" parsing can be done to pull the links and build your frontier, but the data should be pulled and stored for the main parsing.

This allows you to test your parsing routines independently of the target website, this allows you to later compare with previous versions and this allows you to reparse everything in the future, even after the original website long gone is.

My recommendation is to use the WARC archive format to store the results, this way you are on the safe side (the storage is standardized), it compresses very well and the WARC are easy to handle (they are immutable store, nice for backups).
You forget the part where the wormholes need to be prepared. First you need to feed the hawking radiation from one black hole into another.

Sure, that’s often the case, and I would even have given the usage the benefit of the doubt but then, as you noted, OP said “he”.

But in fact “guy” means “man or woman” the way “he” can mean “man or woman” or how someone will say “ethnic” to mean “non-white. It doesn’t mean the sayer is a sexis/racist/jerk/etc, but it does subtly and casually reinforce a way of looking at the world. So worth correcting without making a huge thing of it.

Facebook's News Feed experiment panics publishers
The AMP version requires a script from cdn.ampproject.org to display any content. I'm extremely annoyed by this new craziness where a 3rd-party script/xhr is required to display the content/images. This is more than just sloppiness on the development side, this risks user privacy as well.
Yes, that's the one! Those numbers refer to the number of papers in each torrent, so each one contains 100,000 papers giving a current total of 66+ million.

The torrents of 100,000 are broken into 1000-paper zip archives that can be downloaded individually, so it's pretty manageable if you want to just check out a random sampling of the papers.

I would love to see somebody do some kind of massive scale analysis of the papers, but just extracting plain text from all those PDFs is a pretty herculean task considering that many would need to be OCRed, and others end up pretty garbled / misformated with pdftotext and the like.
According to Wikipedia SF City and County has a population of 870k, Warsaw 1.8 million. The metro area 4.6M vs 3.1M respectively. So I'd say the same ballpark. That said 5000 units seems like nothing at these population sizes. I live near Wrocław (650k city population, 1.1M metro), there were 10.000 new units in 2016 and this year will be similar. And this number doesn't include private investments (people building a house for themselves), only housing built by developers and sold on the market.
Well from my point of view this is completely opposite to what I've witnessed firsthand. People DO know they have hearing loss and WANT to fix it. It becomes very awkward for them in social settings and they are not able to follow the simplest group conversation.

Case in point: my dad and grandma. They both got the 'free' hearing aids (we live in Canada) and these supposedly really cost the government (or taxpayers) upwards of $2000 for each ear, and they SUCK. The alternative was to dish out $5000 per ear for a marginally better product. They both ended up not using them because it was such a hassle and it basically drove them nuts. They didn't fit very well and constantly amplified even the slightest noise, and basically did nothing in ways of helping their hearing at a normal conversation.

Recently though, they finally got a great hearing aid (forgot the name) and paid less than $500 (from their wallet) and it vastly outperforms any other hearing aid they've ever tried. I know they work because because they actually WEAR them now because they are NOT ALWAYS BUZZING and amplifying ambient noise and they are ADJUSTED PERFECTLY to hold onto their ears. That's disruption for ya ....

- You'll never have to say the same thing twice (since the system you communicate through remembers)

- You'll rarely have to say something explicitly (because most of the things can be anticipated for you)

- You'll never say ambiguous things (because everything is semantically clear and verified)

- You won't be able to contradict yourself or express paradoxes (because the meaning is verified and tested for coherence)

- You'll never have to adapt your output to an other persons input (because the translation and contextual reformulation is made for you, think responsive speech)
You could say he’s a ... loser.
In a rational market, yes, absolutely; if prices are driven by a supply deficit then increasing supply cuts prices (or at least reduces price growth, if a smaller deficit remains).

Housing markets tend not to be all that rational, though; there's often an aspect of speculative mania to them. It's likely that increasing supply would cut prices, but it's not actually certain, as it may just increase speculative 'investor' demand from the "house prices always go up" crowd. The Irish property bubble in the late 90s to late noughties was originally driven by supply shortages, but even as supply started to meet demand prices kept going up for a couple of years due to property "investors" (before crashing spectacularly).
Which is a good way to do it. QM is basically the most general protocol possible and most of the math can be derived from assumptions about what can in principle be communicated. For example:

Not an nginx user here, but I do know sometimes certain modules in Apache will add significant latency on POST payloads by waiting for the entire POST payload to complete before sending to the backend (in a reverse proxy setup). The idea is that if the backend fails, it can retry on the next node. For large payloads this sucks for latency.. No idea if nginx has this problem.

Yeah, i was hoping for the long overdue death of header files.
I commented to the same effect on reddit: This doesn't ring true to me at all.

The numbers have the same animation, but it's both shorter and interruptible, so the people who built the app seem perfectly aware of the problem and how to "fix it".

This seems deliberate, as if somebody figured that, while it's a legitimate use case to rapidly tap digits to input a longer number, tapping an operator multiple times is likelier to be an input error, so they purposefully block it. Clearly a mis-feature, but a feature nonetheless, rather than a bug.
So what do you use instead? FYI you can reduce animation in the accessibility menu of both iOS and OSX

Some of them cost that much yeah, but not all of them. Nowadays you can get 10BA(though it's more likely 5 doubles each side from china for $600). There are a few exceptions like noble audio that are premium priced with custom units, but most people use factory devices.

You can get 3 BA sub 100 iems on aliexpress. Are they good? sometimes, but the point is I would say there's an audio revolution going on that is hardly noticeable unless you're actively watching it.
That first picture is embarassing - my Nexus 5 looks better than that. I never liked Samsung, but their S8 is miles ahead if the point is "looking modern".
In modern Western thought voices aren't suppressed

Well, "incorrect" voices are still suppressed. There are still things you can't say [1]. The first question is whether the number of things you can't say is greater today in the West than it is elsewhere or it was in the past. The second question is whether that number is increasing or decreasing over time.

In fact, the assertion that we don't punish speech is a pernicious one, because it puts the burden on the other person to prove you wrong... at which point you can punish them!

No one's suggesting that people should be forced to go without.

Rather, the problem is that people are currently going without because hearing aids can cost as much as a used car. And the batteries - which do last longer, yes - are one-time-use instead of rechargeable.

Given the choice between recharging something in the middle of the day that costs $20 to a few hundred dollars, or theoretically having multi-day battery life with hearing aids that you can't afford, the former is an easy sacrifice to make.

I think very few bits here are actually stored in-flight on the copper/fiber/radio at any time. Most of them are probably stored in various buffers of networking equipment (which are ordinary semiconductor RAM). It would be interesting to see someone do an actual breakdown for, say, a transatlantic link.

My gut feeling says that only geostationary satellite links have any significant number of bits in-flight.
Your determination to make the point that this experiment does demonstrate some level of understanding seems to have led you into thinking that any discussion of how deep that understanding goes is counterproductive, for some reason. When, however, you asked "what more is there to understanding?", the answer is that in this case, there could be more than that which the experiment actually demonstrates, but it will take further experiments to determine whether that is so.

While you may not be interested in this question, the biologists performing these experiments certainly should be (and I am sure they are.)

There is also the distinct possibility of this experiment being misunderstood by those with a casual interest in biology and/or cognitive science - just because our understanding of the experiment involves buoyancy and displacement, it does not follow that the raccoons' does.
