IMO Google+ circles were a step in the right direction, but Google shot themselves in the foot with their "one real-name account to rule them all" bullshit.

People don't just want to separate their "lists of other people", people also act a different role in different contexts.

In other words, humans want to maintain different identities too. That doesn't always mean pseudonyms, but the single human behind "Bob from the Accounting Department" probably wants to use a completely different set of contact-information and profile-pictures when he's in the role of "Bob, Death Metal Biker" or "Bob, Single Parent Looking For Love."
Nope, it only applies to "state employees, officers, or members", which students are not.
That is only applicable to pre-made tags, not to a random range or position, I believe.
Ask HN: Did anyone try to build Vue.js-based hybrid mobile apps and succeded?
Greetings,

There are multiple native frameworks that are based on Vue.js version 2: Quasar [1], Onsen UI [2], Framework 7 [3], Weex [4].

[1] http://quasar-framework.org/

[2] https://onsen.io

[3] https://framework7.io/

[4] https://weex.incubator.apache.org/

This is by no means a complete list and I might not be aware of truly great choices in this niche.

I do truly wish you success in your endeavor, and if you have reached it by using one of these frameworks, please do share your experience. I'm quite sure the rest of us will be genuinely grateful if you do.

Sincerely Yours,

Don't worry! Facebook is working on an AI to detect such posts and refer the suicidal users to help! No need to bring his friends down with his negativity and decrease their engagement! /s

I wish I was joking: https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/28/16709224/facebook-suicid.... Social networks like Facebook have contributed to a big rise in depression, but instead of course correcting, we get buzzword tech band-aids.

With enough thrust you can make a 10 ton safe fly, and you would be OK in it, but you would need the thrust of a Saturn 5.

In the future?? I suspect we will get stronger and lighter armor, and we will get more efficient thrusters - who knows if we will ever make something like Iron Man, we will try, and we might get there one day

I think both time on site and engagement are narrow metrics to judge a site's usefulness and effectiveness.

Reduced engagement on Facebook is probably a good thing for society, but it could arguably mean it's also achieving it's goals as a social platform more succinctly.

As an advert stream of course, that's bad. But I suspect an amount of truth in Zuckerberg's somewhat altruistic new vision.

No it just means someone published the story without proper fact checking.

One thing I find fascinating is that when you hold your breath long enough and your body is forcing you to breath, your lungs still hold plenty of oxygen. If you exhaled into an empty bag, then inhaled that air back into your lungs, that reflex would be quelled for awhile. Of course after each cycle the O2 content would drop an CO2 would rise and the period of each cycle would get shorter.
Oh OSTree was definitely around then, but it wasn’t building a competitor to ContainerLinux until rpm-ostree, which made it insanely powerful in that it could build images from existing (and pervasive) redhat package repos. I’m definitely not arguing that much whatsoever. Only that it wasn’t building a full distro in a way to put it on par with ContainerLinix until after ContainerLinux was a thing and CoreOS was a company.
A hole? In that Swiss cheese? It's hardly surprising. He uses hypothetical Chomsky language device to support his idea of "there couldn't be general intelligence", while there's provably optimal intelligent agent (AIXI) and its computable approximations. He uses the self-improvement trends established by entities which aren't intelligent agents (military empires, civilization, mechatronics, personal investing) to predict what self-improvement of intellectual agent will be like. It's a pure London-streets-overflowing-with-bullshit level prediction.

Your service seems pretty useful in the context of e-books (which seems like your primary market based on your website) - I'm not sure why the medium article starts off with wikipedia as an example, seems like a weaker use case (just my opinion though, I may be wrong)

What happens when the content of the wikipedia article changes substantially - where will it lead to, or will it show a warning that the target content has changed?

seems interesting though

I have also noticed that’s a trend on a lot of websites now and I see the benefit of it as the website owner but I can also see your frustration as a user.
Thanks for good feedback. Wikipedia keeps versions on its content so that the URL will be still valid, leading to old version of the article that was what it was at the time of quote. The platform doesn't work on blogs where no versioned data is kept.

So that means the people living in these places don't matter? There were hundreds of houses in these places, enough for 4 churches. I asked people living there. They eat nothing but the crap that they sell at the gas station or fast food. These are real people...thousands of them in just the states I went through.

Their quality of life is completely fucking abysmal. Living in these places would be like living in hell.

> I'd rather see Ads about things I'm interested in than things I'm not interested in.

You're not going to see more ads about the things you're interested in, you're going to see ads that have a higher potential to manipulate you into commercially profitable behavior. There's a big but subtle difference between those things. You are definitely not going to see ads for your interests that bring you more joy but aren't easily monetizeable.

The coarseness of TV targeting meant people had more opportunity to assert their own priorities against the less effective manipulation.
See, you are "lawful neutral". You are not particularly missing out.

Wow I really think this is nonsense. I'm a mechanical design engineer. My job is most certainly not just calculating shit. There is a substantial amount of thinking about how to solve problems in a way similar to software engineers. I'm a hobbyist programmer and programming can sometimes be "plugging in" code to solve a problem they already know to solve.

Edit: I want to amend this to say it's not just mechanical design engineers that have to figure stuff out. The electrical, industrial, and all other engineers I have worked with have to be creative in some form. And that includes classical mechanical engineers. Calculating the stress on a part may require you to really think about what sort of assumptions you can make or bizarre scenarios it may run into before doing anything.
Nope, that's the opposite of luck. Run!
I'm going to echo the comment about aggregate functions.

I don't know how "hidden" they are, but they are one hell of a gem!

At this point our one application has more SQL code in it than application code. The postgresql json* aggregate functions make querying and formatting data easy enough that it can be done directly in the database and the result basically piped to the output without any need to reformat it.

I'll also add CTEs. They might also not be very "hidden" but they are fantastic once you get used to using them.

While the article is focused on transfer of various pathogens from ticks to humans, there is also a risk of developing and allergy to mammalian meat:

http://www.mydr.com.au/allergy/mammalian-meat-allergy

There is evidence of similar allergies occurring in the US and Europe due to tick bite.

So it is very important that you remove a tick carefully to minimise the potential for the tick to vomit. Permethrin creams (used to treat scabies) can be used for small/juvenile ticks.
I'd like to know what the efficiency gap is - you can see in the graph that early on, quic is better saturating the connection, while TCP is still scaling up. The other problem is related to how TCP connections work with HTTP/1.1 or similar protocols - one TCP connection per concurrent HTTP request, where with quic any arbitrary number of requests are all part of the same quic stream. It doesn't seem unfair that adding more TCP connections doesn't make quic reduce its share of bandwidth, any more than adding 1000 concurrent http requests into the quic stream should reduce TCP's share of bandwidth.

That's won't happen. The mistake you're making is assuming that Facebook wants to "please everyone." It doesn't. It only cares about pleasing itself, and it does that through manipulating the algorithm to attempt to get its users to do what it wants.

Giving up control of the algorithm means giving up control of its user-products, and it's not going to do that.

I use Brave everyday as a secondary browser, particularly when I need to access sites that run anti-ad blocking scripts which Brave handles better than any other solution I’m aware of. And of course I use Brave to get familiar with the Brave payments system.

I'm saying you might not see schools easily off of the interstate (though it varies by state). I lived in a rural state (Iowa) most of my life, where small town life is pleasant enough that there's an annual bike ride during the summer during which highways are closed off so thousands of people can bike from town to town stuffing themselves with homemade pork chops and pie. You don't see a ton of niceties other than gas stations off of the major interstates because, unsurprisingly, people choose to not live next to heavy truck traffic. Undoubtedly there are people who are not well-off and don't have much choice but to live near freeways and train tracks, but I don't think that means the majority of America is in hellhole conditions.
I’m with krapp; it is completely disingenuous to say this is a one liner.

If you read the back story of Diablo, Brevik was definitely involved in the decisions one would typically attribute to one credited with creating the game, it was certainly a team effort so he definitely wasn’t the only creator. Keep in mind this was a different time and everyone was generally expected to wear more hats back then and blizzard north wasn’t that big of a company at that time regardless.

Particularly he had a lot of experience with the rogues which heavily inspired the original Diablo. Because of this he was initially opposed to making the game real-time as opposed to the traditional turn based, enemies only move when you do rogue style.

However as he tells the story he programmed real time movement in a few hours on a Friday night just to see what it would be like. When he tried it out for the first time and clicked the mouse; almost magically the warrior walked over and smashed a skeleton into a pile of bones.

He was convinced right then that real-time was the right choice.

That moment may have been the birth of the ARPG genre.
Major Google Cloud Outage for “Multiple Services”
To me, here are the most relevant bits of why they chose the CHMT36VA over others:

Let me say that the needs or SparkX are slightly odd.
We need to build 10-50 of a design and see how it
sells. As it sells we may need to build 100-500pcs.
If a design needs more than 500 pieces then it
immediately gets moved over to our proper SMD
production lines with much more capable machines.
SparkX needed something small and quick to setup.
After evaluating all the various vendors we decided
on the CHMT36VA. It seemed to be the best fit of
low-cost and most flexible while being able to get
the job done.

Right before it:

... the nail in the coffin for the Neodyn 4 in my eyes
... he says the feeders aren’t that great, they are
challenging to load, and machine makes mispicks quite
often. Why spend ~$10k on a machine when I can have a
cheaper machine with less hassle? The CHMT36VA is far
from perfect but I can work around the problems.

It's not that the CHMT36VA (the $2.8k PnP machine in question) is great or competes with "industrial" pick and place machines, it's that it's optimized for small to medium runs. To me, this is very much in line with "fail fast" or "lean startup" philosophy but for electronics. SparkFun can make a small experiment with minimal risk.
Not often, but sometimes it's surprising. Companies that you wouldn't think would do it. Also sometimes one company sells it to many vendors.

The worst offender was ScotteVest. I signed up for their list in I want to say 2001 or 2002. I can find at least 50 vendors they sold the email address to.

I'll amend it to calling a hyperthread a vcpu.

People are constantly confused about this. It's not just me. There's very little common terminology across leaders in this space. Think VMware, Digital Ocean, Bluemix, Tier 1 cloud providers, in house data centers, etc. Some talk real cores, others talk hyperthreads. Business and non techie IT people do their own math without knowing the 2X difference.

If you put (hyperthreads) next to "vcpus", when appropriate, it would be more clear.

"Direct connect pricing for egress traffic ("Data Transfer Out") is here"

Attend an AWS sales meeting with a F500 company. It's never mentioned, even when talking about obvious problem areas...like moving a data warehouse to AWS, while leaving the ETL and analytic tools on premisis. People like me are left holding the bad news bag.

AWS sales people talk up the "all in" business case where all your stuff is in the cloud. They are suspiciously quiet about the transition period where the 10 to 100x market bandwidth pricing of AWS kills you. That's especially frustrating for AWS direct connect where your global network adds no value. In my mind, AWS direct connect should be competitive with market rates for bandwidth. I understand the premium for general internet connectivity because your global presence and investments add value. For direct connect, it's just plain old gouging. You're penalizing me for not going all-in on day one, which would be risky and stupid.
