I don't understand how being remote or in your own office affects how aligned your work is with the team. Today we have Slack, email, texting, phones, face-time, Skype, conference rooms, etc, etc, etc. Back in the old days everyone stayed on the page just by leaving their office once or twice a day to meet and review priorities, and occasionally go into another engineers office to get/give help on a problem.

If you don't understand your teams priorities and what everyone is working on, that has nothing to do with your office layout. It's either an indication of poor project management/leadership, or your own laziness.
I wonder how much of this is kids not realizing they can skip videos. I'd like to do an experiment to see how quickly kids change the video for different categories of videos. Maybe they just like videos, and clicking randomly on child's links at the end of videos will eventually drop you into this maze.
Twitter Is Literally a White Supremacist Website
You know what, I freely admit that I don't even give a shit that they're a white supremacist restaurant. Twitter was just a source of entertainment, and I didn't really care about the particulars of the sausage-making process.

I do very much care, though, that when I order an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, they arrive in random order. And sometimes I get two desserts, one of which I ordered last week. And sometimes the main course is one that a friend of mine mentioned liking.

If you're going to be a white supremacist restaurant, at least serve good food. Doubling the portion size isn't going to fix any of your problems.
Well, they don't really need to adapt to all situations perfectly. They just need to do well enough. It's not necessary to replace humans in order to get rid of them.

Weaponized flying drones are sufficient for a large number of environments. Even if they limit themselves to wide open spaces on sunny days, with crude sensors that just detect vaguely human shapes that move, they would have a significant impact. A perfect annihilation isn't necessary to crumble society.

The tech is already sufficiently advanced, albeit in several disparate pieces. The will to deploy it and capacity to build it at massive scale is really all that is lacking.
I find this is one of the best videos on the subject:

Derek Buck on the verge of suicide… then Zelda: Breath of the Wild saved him
One of the cognitive science labs was hiring experts in graph theory, and it turns out they wanted to express Arrow's Theorem -- and the related theories -- in the form of a graph so they could reason about decision making in the brain.

If I recall correctly, the paradox of voting gets represented as a top cycle which leads to irrational decisions. They wanted to come up with mechanisms where they break top cycles. (In these graphs a higher ranked decision was higher on the Y axis.)
Wouldn't a qubyte be 8 qubits?
I am not sure if thats necessarily true - a lot of folks are using cloud databases/datastores (Azure, S3 etc). Getting access to that is a different problem than remote code execution. Unless I am misunderstanding something, or you are specifically talking about on-site databases.

No, it helps discover-ability, and makes me more likely to come back when instead I might not bother. Marketers and someone wanting people to read their content would know the value of RSS.

Even if you're ad-supported, I'm more likely to visit you if you have an RSS feed. Not to mention any non-profit or academic website could let people follow new developments easier.
Well, why wouldn't they post a bug fix? I don't see how that says anything about motive/cause. They'd do that even if it was intentional.
Had my (parents’) AOL account terminated when I was 11 years old (1999) for pirating Visual Basic 4 from an AOL mail server chat . Listened to that sweet dial up connection sound before being greeted with an account termination message. Had no idea what “piracy” even meant.
Everything becomes better with fzf. I use it to parse git logs, checkout branches, select and download files from s3... Fzf is the single tool that vastly improved my command line productivity.

I completely agree. I just transferred schools, and I use to type all of my notes, because I could. Now, I'm handwriting my notes, and I think that my comprehension is way up.
I'm a fan of this for sites that don't include the full-text of the article:

http://fivefilters.org/content-only/

It sucks that the content producer doesn't get any ad revenue, but it also sucks that the only way they can get paid involves tracking me and building a profile despite my wishes.

On the other hand, I've found that non-profits / independently-funded researchers produce most of the best RSS feeds, and I happily donate to the non-profits.
When my pieces show up on Digg, I see a lot of refers from Hvper. Good to know the philosophy behind it. Cheers.
This is my new favorite Github project, but I only read it for the app names.
This brings back so many memories... this is where I really started my "programming" with Visual Basic 4, hunting the web for .bas files that I could load into my own VB project to create 1337 rainbow text in my IMs, punting users, trying to work around the rate limiting that they added to chatrooms... it's incredible that the AOL warez scene is essential the catalyst for my now successful career in technology 20+ years later.
I remember trying to write punters in VB, phishing bots, etc. I thought progs were the funniest things ever and I thought I was so clever because I never had a subscription to AOL, I would just use another '30 days free AOL' CD that I collected every time I went to the mall with my parents.

I am happy I never did anything too stupid but from a CS perspective I learned a lot very quickly.
Same! I used to spend hours picking the right theme song to bundle on the opening splash page to ship with my software that never worked.

I left tech in college and only got back into in my late 20's, happy to be back but with a bit more maturity.
Having experienced a situation where I had to call select() directly, I have to completely disagree. If you run into situations like this, you need the syscall escape hatch. It's really painful to get this working, and it interacts poorly with goroutines.

Sockets are actually another good example. If you need to tweak then at all, you get to use the same old horrendous POSIX names for everything. No name aliases?
Funny enough I also got banned for "life", whatever that term meant. I got netzero for free for a while and that's actually how I found my replacement for AOL ... IRC. That community really helped me go from tinkerer to full on coder in a short summer.
I really miss the word “warez” and appreciate all usages and references.
Tjis tax plan is not likely to pass. It has major stakeholders as active opponents, and an impotant cadre of republican congress-people from coastal states. There’s plenty of reporting on Politco or Washington Post that outlines the difficult road ahead for this legislation.
These terms usually have long and weird history and often do not base on any actual observation but on layers of theory that for modern eye would justifiably appear completely bonkers. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_race_concepts
Of course, people using these terms now often have no idea where they come from.
Elections have almost certainly been hacked - the security on electronic voting machines is abysmal - and no one seems to care, so I think your 'Russians hacked the elections' example doesn't say what you meant.
> Wired and Vice need a second to write it up, and see if it hits the mainstream before declaring the issue ignored.

You're right about this new development of the functional JTAG being very recent and needing time to get around. However, security folks and others have been decrying the potential of the IME backdoor for years.

That they've been largely ignored for years lends some credibility to the thought that "we don't seem to care much." It's hard for most laypeople to understand, and it's difficult to get people excited about something they don't understand (unless they are convinced that they do understand, of course).
However, it's much more restricted than the functionality natch referred to. An app can only change its icon while running, and even then only with the user's explicit permission.
Moving to snippets was a bummer when many RSS sites stopped doing full feeds (I remember it being kind of a wave), but eh, ultimately it's been fine and it's still scads better than the alternative of having to visit each site individually, often dealing with autoplay this and popup that.
The problem is now that turns into a cost-benefit problem. Can we make back the 5% that we're paying to get access to the phone book by selling that data? Chances are we can, so it's worth it.
Somewhat related but do you guys know good resources to relearn cursive handwriting? I remember having handwriting notebooks as a kid that came with figures and steps to do the letters but I don't know if there's a better way now, years later.
At a technical level, that supposes the file you want to decrypt still exists in X years.

My actual thought was to have the secure enclave emit an encrypted copy of the key with a targeted key strength when presented with a request signed by Apple's key. It would require Apple's participation (or compromising Apple) but still require that the person spend a significant amount of money on the process.

By having it encrypt a key, you can make normal messages much stronger, such that you can't decrypt messages without the device in question (because the key can't be attacked directly, only the weakly encrypted version of the key when the secure enclave shares it). Further, because you can change how strong the SE emitted key is with each revision, you can have new phones always have a 10 year expected safety window (and even turn up the difficulty over time). In the case of a total compromise of Apple's storage, the attacker still has to spend significant funds to compromise any given phone -- so we'll only see targeted attacks. (That is, they might say, crack Bill Gates' phone, but are they really going to spend hundreds of thousands a pop to break the keys of random Starbucks workers? I'm honestly not super worried if Bill Gates has to spend a few thousand extra dollars every few years to protect his billions.)

But we're never going to get to discuss those kinds of scoping and cost-benefit tradeoffs if we don't engage in the process of shaping legislation in an open and honest way.
Isn't that one of the highest turnover jobs that exists? It's really hard to keep people coming into work when their work is to review twisted content all day.
Like a car swerving side to side as 2 drivers wrestle for control of the wheel, the 2 party system is an erratic vehicle.

But I have good news: we can steer a more stable course with score voting.

Score voting doesn't violate Arrow's Theorem (because it's not a ranked-choice system).

Here's how it works:

* Each voter gives candidates a score from 0 to 1.

* The highest average score wins. (The average can be weighted to account for abstentions.)

The upshot:

* No political parties are needed.

* It resists gerrymandering because it's non-partisan.

* If there's a bias in the system, it's towards the center.

* Simulations indicate score voting is socially optimal.

* Arrow, himself, expressed preference for approval voting (a variant of score voting)

Problem with worker co-ops is access to capital. In a world where dividends and buybacks were banned, where would they get capital? Not from investors, because few sole proprietors would be wealthy enough to invest. Not from banks, because they would be hugely capital starved without investors to fund them.

I'd like to imagine Ford Motor company could have been a worker co-op, but truth is it couldn't until later in life. Henry Ford raised $28,000 to start it in 1902, nominally that's around $1M today, but it's actually far more than that. Average income was around $450 a year, so he raised about 60 times the average worker's annual salary. Without wealthy investors, there was no shot at starting Ford. Once it was churning out Model Ts by the millions the workers co-op could have succeeded, but they could never get there.

Datomic honestly sounds amazing based on everything I've read and heard about it. I wish it wasn't completely proprietary though. Even an open-core model would make it a much more viable option.
As a left-handed writer, I hated being forced to learn cursive and resented the teachers that forced me to use it, especially on timed writing, since I was always much slower at cursive than print writing. Although to be fair, none of my teachers had any specific advice for left-handed writers.

I think the overall difficulty and pain of left-handed writing was part of what pushed me to computers at an early age.

Your understanding is wrong. It has more to do with pent up emotions of soldiers and dealing with the trauma of war in violent and unhealthy ways when alcohol is involved.

Also Marines get roudy when drunk (source: 5 years in the corps) and the culture there encourages fighting and violence.

It has very little to do with sexual assault.

This is great! You've nailed one of the major pain-points in creating and producing high quality podcasts/audiobooks.

The other major pain-point that I've identified after spending 10 years in the podcast and audiobook industries is audio mastering. As a mastering engineer, I know how troublesome it can be to master audio so that it is at a competitive dynamic range.

Would you be interested in implementing an "auto-master" feature that I've developed? If so, please reach out! My email is in my HN profile.
Ever since I took a technical drawing course the sophmore year of high school, I haven't wanted to write in anything other than draftsman's block letters. I always had atrocious handwriting, cursive or otherwise, but at least now I and others can read what I write.
It's like, the opposite of what you wrote. Swift apps are much higher quality than Objective C apps today. I know because I write large commercial apps for a living and wrote in Objective C and object oriented C for 20 years.

There are too many ways to blow up your app from C. A disciplined developer who uses safe libraries/classes to shield themselves from dealing with naked pointers can succeed at making an Objective C app reasonably stable, but it's really hard.

Swift was designed to protect you from wild pointers. All you have to do is NEVER FORCE UNWRAP and 90% of the typical crashers can't happen. Our current app is 90,000 lines of Swift. It's been relatively easy to maintain and update with Swift versions, and it almost never crashes. Our crash rate is in the top 10% of Social Media apps.

You don't have to write clever code in Swift. Just use the strong typing and optionals, the language is succinct and powerful and you can be very productive (outside of compile times). Swift is the professional tool for building iOS apps, Objective C is fading away.
Is RSS/Atom sufficiently unpopular that it need somebody stepping up and making a case for it?

If so, that makes me sad, I rather like it. I am currently on my fourth iteration of building an RSS reader with a web UI, using a Bayes network to distinguish between interesting and boring articles. It is not very sophisticated, but it works well enough in filtering out the items I do not want to see.

Needless to say, this thing relies on RSS to fetch news items. Kind of what it was made for, as far as I could gather.

Your described use case for a "friendly / internal" system has a limited definition in any non-trivial sized organization. It would only apply when all users of the embedded webserver already have root access to that server. This might make sense, for instance, in a small development team with a flat security hierarchy, but would be a red flag, security wise, otherwise.

I spent 20 years in the Objective C world, and wrote my iOS apps in Objective C for nearly 5 years. If your apps virtually never crash you are an outlier, and you are working far too hard at it.

Swift's strong typing and optionals make it easy, fast and natural to write safe code, stuff I used to use masses of libraries to help me do in Objective C.

Idea is to prebuild lists of domains that will likely to be sold - for this you can create categories, like industry or product hunt topics, and for each topic have list of words and synonyms and then use it to offer domains. User can click on topic, ex Photography, and see list of suggestions.
If I want to build startup in photography, I have hard time to come up with words from which I can create domains.

Also, one more suggestion, try to market it in non-tech related websites and for not tech people - they might not know how to buy domains cheaper or have preference for registrator.

Hey, please don't use phrasing like '... infected with ... autism'.

Explain then how they are "evading" tax? Every explanation attempted ends up back at "well what they are doing is legal, but they should voluntarily pay more". Just like the linked editorial.

Apple actually has a large reserve for taxes it owes when it repatriates it's foreign profits. It's choosing to legally defer that tax by waiting, just like a private citizen defers taxes by not selling profitable stocks before the end of the year, or by keeping money in their 401K instead of withdrawing it.

Deferral isn't evasion. It's an important legal part of the tax system to incentivize savings.
