Cool! It just reminded me that yesterday I have stumbled upon a 'visual programming' environment built on Haskell: http://www.luna-lang.org/

Haven't had time to play with it yet.
AFAIK most SDC companies are using all kinds of control inputs, whether they are based on classical Computer Vision (RANSAC, HOG, SVM), on Deep Learning with 2D convolutions, on Deep Learning with 3D convolutions and RNN (2D + time on a series of images), Deep Reinforcement Learning (lane keeping, realtime path planning/obstacle avoidance), LiDAR+Radar+Ultrasonic combo via Kalman or particle filters, GPS, IMU etc. and then mix all those signals together to figure out which ones are the most probable. And this all has to happen with super-low latency. With the latest NVidia 500W GPUs for cars we might get far better precision than what was possible with Jetson TX2. You are right Deep Learning alone won't make it reliably, as sometimes output goes completely wrong and simple filtering/averaging past few frames might not be sufficient to prevent your self-driving car becoming a self-flying car. But combining all these inputs together, maybe via another DNN, seems like the best way forward.
Hacking Facebook accounts using CSRF in Oculus-Facebook integration
Depends on the system. In Germany, where you don't automatically buy a seat, you can hop on any train last minute at a high (but reasonable) price. You'll stand for the journey but in some situations I preferred that over some waitlist with an airline.
Up to a minute with SSD? Okay that's odd. I totally see your point.
One example are JSON/XML/HTML responses over HTTP: you need the 8-bit ("binary") data in an ASCII format to fit into JSON/XML/HTML, while HTTP provides gzip (or DEFLATE, Brotli, etc.) compression over the whole response if both the client (by including the "Accept-Encoding" header in the request) and the server implementations support it.
Surely the problem is that there are more jobs than skilled programmers out there? It's hard to get through the door the first time.
Securing the Linux filesystem with Tripwire
The UK is not a good example on how rail systems can work. Rather look at France, Germany, Switzerland or Japan. HSR tickets in most countries have an upper limit, only the (partly) privatised UK system has these absurd prices.

Glass can only be recycled so many times and then it is worthless as you say. Value depends on the quality, color, and clarity of the glass. Given that cullet is necessary to make new glass, there is always a market for it. Best of all though, bottles can be cleaned and reused many times for a fraction of the energy cost of making new ones.

There are a lot of subtleties to recycling, some in favor generally, environmentally, and economically... some not.
I didn't take a deep look, but it reminds me to Bret Victor's proposal on "Inventing on Principle" from 2012:

Opposite of my experience. Been upgrading from LTS to LTS in production for many years. Non-upgradable OS like Windows and Suse Linux used to warrant new server hardware, but now the servers live far too long since there is no need to migrate.

Please don't respond to flamebait with flamewars. That's taking the bait.

Instead, as the site guidelines ask, flag the comment (if you have > 30 karma) or email us at hn@ycombinator.com.
It takes far more energy to make new glass than to clean and reuse old glass. Even melting existing glass is valuable, as it lowers the melting point of the raw materials and therefore energy expenditure. Until glass manufacture uses solar or wind or something similar, it’s an issue.

The problem isn’t a lack of silica, it’s yet more waste of energy and pollution purely screwing is over.
Hi, just to clarify, is "Engg" a shorthand for "Engineering"? I've never seen that form used before ... usually just "Eng" suffices ...
Fair point, I took your “one man alone” comment to mean something it didn’t necessarily imply. I’m sorry for any offense I’ve caused with that unwarranted assumption.
Which assumes rational government. Our government is controlled by one party and yet we are heading to a government shutdown over immigration. Rational seems far away.
If Googlers make a nicer Debian desktop theme please contribute it back upstream.

Also use Debian home/work switched from Ubuntu/centos/Windows. Using Debian is very stable and has most dev packages needed.

Show HN: Remotebootstrap.co ‍ – Community for bootstrapped entrepreneurs
Launched this today in 5 hours: https://www.remotebootstrap.co

Problem: I find that myself as a remote bootstrapped entrepreneur I need to do three things to become succesful:

Learn from other bootstrapped founders in order not to make their mistakes
Build my skills about sales/marketing/understanding customer needs to build my product.
Stay accountable - in order to hit my goals I have to a/ Tell the world about them b/ Have someone to check up on me everyday.

Solution:

The result is .. RemoteBootstrap ‍ :

Profile pages where you can update your goals (example: https://remotebootstrap.co/vinrob.html)
Curated, premium content about sales/marketing
Private Facebook group of remote entrepreneurs where we help each other, check on each other progress & exchange
Earn badges ‍ if you are productive and hit your goals.
We interview ️ founders
Not cool. Please don't.
> Just compare how well the roads crews do in California versus Germany, it's night and day.

Well as a German I can say that most road workplaces aren't even worked at during the day - you need to be lucky to see a worker there, and heaven forbid working on weekends or during night. In addition it's rare that politicians have the guts to say "okay we close $Autobahn totally for a year instead of having a 2-to-3 years halfway usable Autobahn", even though this mode of work is way more efficient. Something like the 48-hour sinkhole repair in Fukuoka/Japan or the Russians repaving a whole massive street in a single day (https://sploid.gizmodo.com/watch-a-huge-swarm-of-machines-pa...) would be unthinkable in Germany.

> Locks keep honest people honest, and the threat of losing your license prevents holders of licenses will discourage some shady behaviour.

But requiring a license to work in moving is a US oddity. Germany, for example, seems to work pretty well without (and we Germans have a reputation for licensing everything to death).
I know plenty of people who like Steam, including myself. Netflix also does DRM but it Just Works (tm). What sucks is having many platforms.

For example, cable TV (from whereever you are from), Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime is 4 already.

For gaming, there is Steam, Origin, Battle.net, GOG that's 4 already.

If you take a smaller "app store" like Origin the question arises why does this even exist? It brings nothing on top of Steam.

If you want to compete with a product you need to compete on price or features. Well, price is zero, so you gotta compete on features. They can't compete on features, so EA enforces you to use Origin. Screw that. I want all my games in one managing app.

The reason Origin and Battle.net exist is because EA and Blizzard want control and keep people within their own infrastructure and offerings. I do get that from Blizzard's PoV. From EA's, not so much.

Plus that only works because they're reasonably big, and I doubt it works on the long term.

Valve, instead, choose to not only distribute their own games but also provide a complete platform for other publishers. They even allow you to import games which aren't on Steam such as Battle.net ones.

GOG specialises in DRM-free games which Steam doesn't.
Pulling into the parking lot at work, or the driveway at home and turning of the car (and radio), opening the door, and just sit there for a few minutes is oddly relaxing to me. It's just a few minutes of nothing, and it's so comfortable.
I share exolymph's preference, though more weakly than I used to. I'm just a software engineer, but I've long found the number of emails I get frustrating. Each email is an additional task, and I have often felt like I'm drowning in a firehose of life-administrivia, even before I get to the challenge of communicating with people I care* about and responding to them well.

This preference has weakened because for the past 3 months I've been practising an improved the way I manage email. I now have a separate explicit triage step and a bookmark to the specific Gmail page which lists untriaged email.

* yes, I do genuinely care about these people. If you're thinking, "If you really cared about them, you would have responded already", then your experience of the world and of tasks is vastly different from mine.

I was initially excited about this, because I'm a huge Lua user and fan, but then when I realised it was something other than the object of my love, was immensely disappointed it had nothing to do with Lua.

So I'd be one of those who'd suggest a re-branding, because the Levenstein distance is not big enough and there is too much potential for brand pollution on both fronts. Lua got to the moon first - you should shoot for another distant body, imho.

I don't mean colors instead of indentation, I mean in addition to. Indentation works well when there are very few replies and few indentation levels. But once there's a long debate, it becomes a well. Then when the well ends it's very hard to immediately tell what it's responding to.

No clicking required - I mean clicking to jump to parent. That's introducing GOTOs to online discussion. If possible, I'd rather have a more intuitive way. Or maybe even something as blunt as printing the indentation level directly as a number!

I think you've answered your own question here. An organisation the scale of google could use a tool like Gentoo to customize and build their binary packages. They haven't, and this perhaps speaks to the suitability of Gentoo as an operating system for use en masse.

Presumably individual engineers are still free to use Gentoo if appropriate but from a support and maintenance perspective the costs may not be feesible company wide.
> then the shareholders will invest it.

Or use it for consumption. And that consumption or those investments are not necessarily in the US.

Where do you think that money is now? It's not like it is stored as dollar bills in some warehouse abroad. The 'repatriation' they are talking about is purely an accounting/tax fiction. If you look at Apple's yearly report [1], on page 49, it details how its cash and equivalents are invested. Most of it is in US treasury securities ($42 billion) and commercial securities ($131 billion). Repatriating it will not magically make it somehow more productively invested in the US. In some cases, quite the opposite: as a foreign Apple shareholder, any dividends I receive are spent outside the US.

By the way I believe I've found source code of some ancient version of the original Pain.Net and used it (barely working, buggy as hell of hells though still handier than GIMP for quick and simple picture edits) on Linux before I've found Pinta which is, AFAIK, the same code fixed to run correctly on Mono and extended to include some Paint.Net features that have been introduced later.

A 'personal tax increase' does not have to be across the board. You could e.g. increase the marginal rate for incomes above $1 million, while keeping other rates the same. That would not be politically difficult. Divide et impera.
Indeed the most dramatic improvement I saw in battery life was when macOS and Safari started cooperating around timer coalescing using App Nap.
It also matters to use something that everyone is more or less comfortable with. The more customizations you do, the more overheads you have to deal with.
There exist people who voluntarily live in some form of solitary confinement, like hermits and some types of monastic orders - very few though. You may well be one of the edge cases of humanity that would be ok with it. Are you asking if that is possible, or if everyone is like that? Because yes, you could actually be like that, and no, most people aren't like that.
Maybe there's some sort of connection? Like maybe the port happened because there was some sort of universal platform where a dedicated developer would be sure to get a large readymade, appreciative audience as opposed to a small group of highly vocal micro-critics. And maybe that was more important to them than whether the language adhered to some paradigm that's really important if you look at things always from a single point of view? I dunno where these thoughts come from...

I'd select the section I'd want to crop, copy it, create a new image, resize it to 1x1 or something else small, then paste. The canvas would automatically resize to fit the pasted selection. It sounds a bit more involved than your version, but for me it worked.
I remember that Goobuntu was usually quite outdated as it is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS plus trailing behind a little. Googlers themselves were not tempted to use it at home. That does not matter for Google development, because all their tooling and code comes out of a monorepo.

Thus, I really wonder if gLinux wants to follow Debian testing closely? The might trail behind like the Ubuntu releases.
I'd say that their largest execution problem right now is their online offering.

It is really, really lacking now that some friends have got a Switch and we are trying to play some Splatoon together, it sucks to have to use Discord in my phone or computer while playing on the Switch just to have a proper voice chat.

I understand that Nintendo want to be as family-friendly as possible so removing the toxicity from voice chats is commendable but... Please, give me the option for that with my friends, I want a party system that works across games, in the system.
Yes, GOG is the only place I buy games from. I don't want to have spyware installed on my PC in a form of DRM or be able to play games only while connected to Internet, so I don't use Steam at all.
This isn't the only reason.

It's obvious that coding is becoming a skill on par with math for its utility in the modern world.

If more people understand the fundamentals of coding, it will completely change the user interfaces and sophistication of applications in the future. People will be able to code up simple features and behaviours they need, for example.

> According to a much-referenced study, we humans are worse at concentrating than a goldfish.

So, I decided to fact-check that nonsense.

Found an article from the Telegraph [1] which links to an older article [2] which supposedly supports that claim. But it isn't mentioned there. It only says that Golfish “can remember where they found food up to 12 days previously.”. The university itself explains the “media feeding frenzy” around the research [3] but does not actually dispute it. Also, the Microsoft study seems to have been reported without context [4]. The article says that, “it turns out that there is no evidence that goldfish - or fish in general - have particularly short attention spans or memories, despite what popular culture suggests.” Finally, I found another article which did some in-depth research into proving these misleading claims false [5].

In cases where customers can’t install or run antivirus software, Microsoft recommends manually setting the registry key as described below in order to receive the January 2018 security updates.

There's a compatibility problem between some AV products and Windows, so unless you jump through hoops, they won't deploy security updates to systems that don't have any such products installed? How does that make any sense at all?
I spent about 8 years running my own Thailand-related web site. I had a lot of photos, a lot of content, interviews, articles, a blog. I had people write me saying the site had changed their lives, or they moved to Thailand because of my site, or my site helped them when they decided to relocate. It just didn't seem to be going anywhere in terms of traffic so I canned it. When I closed it down I had mixed feelings - it was a labour of love, but closing it freed up time to work on other things.

We have a strong tradition of boiling meat and vegetables in Northern Italy. You get a delicious stock where you can cook pasta into (either standard, or filled, such as tortellini) and also very delicate, yet tasty, boiled beef and chicken. These often come with additiomal mashed potatoes and sauces based on parsley, bell peppers or mustard, sometimes mayonnaise.
In Cremona they make something called "mostarda", which is candied fruit spiced with a shitload of mustard. It's absolutely weird and burns like hell, but boy how delicious it is.

The Death of Free Checked Airline Baggage
But is it criminalised? At least in Brazil voting is compulsory but a failure to vote only gives you a VERY meager fine (something less than US$ 1, even for Brazil that is cheap) and if you haven't sorted that out the only penalty is not allowing you to request a new passport. Then you have to pay the fine and go on your merry way again.

It's mostly a deterrent by being annoying, paying the fine is a bit bureaucratic so people try to avoid it.

Not that Brazil is a beacon of democracy and good leadership but at least it's pretty sensible on the penalties you get for non-participation.
There are a few really good low-ish cost options on Mac. You should take a look at Pixelmator, Acorn and Affinity Photo. I think all have free trials. Out of those, Affinity is the one I use most, but that's because I also really like Affinity Designer (an Illustrator type application).
