No.

They brought the heat on themselves when they decided to mock DMCA requests and cease and desists instead of accommodating them.

There's a reason 4chan, Reddit, imgur, Tumblr and its ilk all still exist in the age of copyright. None of them produce their own content-- it's all user submitted, and mostly in violation of some copyright or another.

Generally speaking, my understanding is that hosts aren't liable for user-uploaded content unless they curate or promote it (deletion notwithstanding). That changes their role to that of a content distributor/publisher instead of a mere platform. This is why backpage's CEO got arrested for human trafficking whereas craigslist's did not-- when challenged craigslist shut down its prostitution ads, but Backpage actively reworded and posted them and in doing so became their publisher.
There are some people so desperately crying out for us to stop our government from killing innocent people overseas without our consent that they feel the situation is all but hopeless, so they start killing and causing destruction themselves to draw attention to the problem, and government simply doesn't want the voters to see that.
GCC and Clang are not even a thing in most microcontrollers.

You buy the compiler from the same vendor that is selling you the hardware.

Even if it is based on gcc, it happens to be a fork with changes they don't easily release. Some of them are now transitioning to clang, because the license makes it easier to keep doing so.

Many of them are still mostly C89 (not 100% ANSI C compliant due to hardware limitations) with a few C99 features.
From the abstract[1]:

> After compiling the ‘Jack the Ripper Corpus’ consisting of the 209 letters linked to the case, a cluster analysis of the letters is carried out using the Jaccard distance of word 2-grams. The quantitative results and the discovery of certain shared distinctive lexicogrammatical structures support the hypothesis that the two most iconic texts responsible for the creation of the persona of Jack the Ripper were written by the same person.

So it seems to be a combination of cluster analysis and manual linguistic reading of lexicogrammatical structures. It would be interesting if these studies were done as blind studies, with another letter from the period (or a convincing known fake) was also used as control. Do they find those shared distinctive lexicogrammatical structures in the control too, because they're looking for them now? Does the cluster analysis give significantly higher confidence to grouping the possibly-real letters, compared to grouping one possibly-real letter with the known fake?

Those would make this more interesting and less questionable, especially for a first study into this.

Yeah, running ~/.bashrc is tough, and I'm not sure even Oil will get to it. Not only do you need parsing and execution of the bash language, but you also need builtins like bind and set -o vi (i.e. see "help bind").

Maybe bind is easier than I think; maybe it's just a few readline calls. I haven't looked into it.

But also, I noticed almost no shell scripts use extended globs like @(foo|bar), whereas the bash-completions package uses them EVERYWHERE. Completion scripts are almost like a different dialect than other shell scripts.

If you want to source /etc/bashrc on most distros, you're going to end up with thousands and thousands of lines of plugins from the bash-completions project.

The parsing is a big headache, but I think it forced me to learn how people use shell, which will benefit Oil.

It's been a full year since our alternative shells thread... might be time to revive it and see what's changed! Congrats on the Elvish releases!

Last time I checked, polyfills for flexbox sucked big time. Just did not work. Maybe the landscape has changed, as it often does in JS.

Given no decent flexbox polyfills, I would doubt the existence of a good grid polyfill. If we can't do flexbox, how do we cope with grid?
Eh, you might deserve that hit. ;)

Agreed. My last project I dumped a column system for just writing flexbox and grid CSS with vendor prefixing done by a post processor. It was very nice. I find most column systems only use 75% of flexbox, and miss some of the possible settings. Flexbox attributes are named very poorly though, and there was a learning curve on which attributes did what.
For me FB has become too samey.

- News: the same articles everyone is posting everywhere. Plus nutter conspiracy theorists educating us all about why the earth is flat / we never went to the moon / we should embrace communism/capitalism on completely unrelated threads.

- Friends: same people going on about the same things. One guy has a special hatred for Trump that he vents every day. Another guy talks about local affairs for his little island community. Both people I know IRL, but online they become cartoons.

- Groups: same messages over and over, with news mixed in. Sports team group news is a filter for your team. So I see all the transfers for my team, and all the game updates and comments from the fans. Pretty low quality, as in "anyone know this guy we're buying? Yeah, he's a midfielder". And permanently "We should fire the coach / He's the best coach ever".

- Baby pics / anecdotes. These are great, but take about 5 seconds to consume and like.

If you must know, I swapped notes with my friend who lives in Singapore.

People in Singapore have much more respect for the rules and following the rules, plus the consequences are more severe for breaking the rules.

Meanwhile in Australia, bending and breaking the rules is a national sport. Also, the consequences for breaking the rules are much less severe. If a cop caught you throwing a bike into a tree or some other amusing place, they would most likely make you take it out of the tree and nothing more.
+1 for Tachyons.

I'm not a web developer and I used Tachyons for a personal website and a front end for a tool. It felt very comfortable to work with, and the examples section they have was incredibly useful as a mix & match copy/paste source. Loved the results.
@dang, this story was on the front page and then just disappeared. Was it removed intentionally? And if so, what was the reason?
OK great, glad you have made use of the page. We had an "alternative shells" thread about a year ago between the authors of Elvish, NGS, Oh, and mash. Those were the main active/nascent shells I could find.

It might be time to start that again to see what ideas people have and what has changed. If you're interested e-mail me at andy@oilshell.org.

I'm also interested in the Shill shell, which as I understand was written in Racket, and then somehow they moved away from Racket? I'm not sure. I think it was because of the runtime. I also saw some efforts to move Racket to Chez Scheme.

I very much like Racket as an idea -- a meta language -- but I haven't gotten a chance to play with it too much.

And I did experiment with femtolisp as a basis for Oil -- the lisp used to bootstrap Julia -- but I decided against it.
If I was trying to explain humor to an alien, I would say it's a pleasurable sensation created by the resolution of ambiguity or uncertainty in the communications between two or more people. This is achieved by performing similar mental operations and reaching the same result as each other.

So typically, you say something, and someone understands that it is not serious, and they laugh at the point at which they realize you two understand each other.

Your style of humor is more evolved, in that it adds an additional step, where first they think you are not serious, and then they understand you are, and if they get it, they laugh because they have completed the path to a shared understanding. It may not be appreciated so much, because since the journey is more difficult, the listener may infer that you are trying to put down people who are not sufficiently quick witted.

Agreed. Being a human pick and place for anything more than low tens of parts is incredibly unfun, and paying someone to manufacture one or two doesn't really make sense. I don't care if it takes a few days, I'd rather not be sitting for hours wearing down my fine motor skills and eyesight.

Ask HN: Scaling to 100k outgoing transfers per account per hour
We're growing quickly and are running into scaling issues. We'd love to get some advice from the hackernews community on our biggest problem:

We're a payments startup that provides APIs to send and receive money. When our customers send an instruction to disburse funds through our API, a few things happen:

1. Acquire lock on customer account

2. Check if customer's balance is sufficient

3. Deduct customer balance

4. Release lock on customer account

5. Disburse the funds through our banking channels

As we continue to grow, this process of checking balance and deducting customer balance is becoming our main bottleneck. We've already implemented parallel processing for transactions in different accounts but the speed of steps 1-4 is impacting performance.

We are now exploring solutions that can combine steps 1-4 together, ideally using a database like MySQL that already has these capabilities.

The constraints we're working under are:

1. Transactions for each account must be processed sequentially, in the same order that they arrived in

2. Transactions for different accounts should be fully parallelized

3. We want to be able to process at least 100k transactions per account per hour

4. We want to be able to process transactions in band with the HTTP request, with latency <10ms

5. ACID

6. Auditable

We think that some flavor of SQL is the right direction but would appreciate your feedback/advice on what you think the best solution to our problem might be.

“I wanted more of a point to a lot of those games,” Brevik said. “I wanted to make an RPG, with classes and leveling up, random items, where you get more and more powerful as you go down into the core of the world and fight baddies.”

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery 8.0.0.0 Crack and Keygen Download
Absolutely. In fact, the bash manual explicitly refers to GNU parallel for this use case!

I use xargs -P all over the Oil codebase, which does what you want. The trick is to end the file with "$@", and then invoke xargs -P 4 -- $0 my-func.

That way xargs can run arbitrary shell functions, not just something like sh -c "..." ! I'm going to write a blog post about this. I also do this with find -exec $0 myfunc ';'

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/blob/master/test/spec-runner...

However I think Oil will have something built-in to make this parallel process more friendly. I will probably implement xargs so it can run my own shell scripts without GNU xargs, but then add a nicer syntax. (Probably "each", since that's what xargs really does.)

This gets into your other question about standard utils, which I'll answer now. Short answer: yes I would like something like that, it's just a matter of development time and priorities. I agree with the problem you point out.

Here's one I tried with "wood" and I was able to sort by price with the drop down: https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=wood&sort=price-asc-rank

I stripped out a bunch of the tracking and referral stuff from the url but if you click that it will take you directly to sorted results. If you go to just https://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=wood there is a drop down to sort by price and the results don't appear to be in any specific category.

e: I think I understand now, the drop down is there but you don't get search results if you select a price filter like you do with "Relevance".

Atheism is a lack of belief, not a belief.

Saying that atheism is a belief would be like saying that bald is a hair color.

Also, I think that the title is loaded to convey that atheism is like another religion, which has to be taught.

The idea of "teaching atheism" is silly. Just teach to reason and think for themselves, and form their own opinion based on facts rather than blindly accepting what someone told them to belief, let everyone think freely and provide the mental tools to do so instead of indoctrinating children.

Education is the worse enemy of religion. Religion preys on the ignorant.

The reason I mentioned it was because it was rather relevant to my having the incentive to remember the timelines of FB launching various features almost a decade ago.
I've been thinking about related issues.

Probably the first cut will be an "app bundle" format for Oil + busybox + arbitrary user utilities.

I'm more interested in the subset of busybox that is PORTABLE. busybox doesn't run on BSDs, because a lot of it is tied to the Linux kernel. It's more for embedded Linux.

I actually worked on the toybox project around when starting Oil (toybox is the "busybox" on Android, started by the former busybox maintainer Rob Landley.)

So I don't want to necessarily create another package manager, which is sort of implied by your question (?). For shell, the package manager is traditionally the system one -- "apt-get" on Debian, maybe homebrew on Mac, etc.

But I definitely want to solve the dependency problem, and I think the best way to do that is through some kind of support for app bundles. Of course you can also create a container image if you like.

Why all that negativity? CSS frameworks are mostly about good defaults(initial decisions) that you can build on and I really like the defaults of Bulma.

A CSS framework doesn't need to do something unseen before to be good, It's not competition.

UI Frameworks that try to be something more use JS and this breaks some frameworks, especially frameworks with virtual DOM like React or Vue.

I like Bulma, the only thing is that the community is still small, so you can't browse through endless button or dropdown alternatives.

As for "better understood," the authors of this standard work for Google, Verizon, Microsoft, and Comcast. Combined they probably serve most of the email in the western hemisphere.

There is no excuse for overcomplicating a proposed standard -- and "we have this stuff lying around" is no exception. This plan has the effect of causing a networking protocol to depend on an entire series of unrelated networking protocols.

It does not bode well for the future of independent email operators and it provides no path forward for integrating existing devices. It pushes many, many extra steps onto client devices, necessitating entire additional libraries of software to deal with them. That's not a problem for companies with tens of thousands of developers at their beck and call -- but it is only going to raise the barrier-to-entry of operating an independent service.
(author here) I didn't intend to criticize PHP, and I don't think I did.

I said that you can't convince people not to use bash or PHP by writing posts on the Internet, which is true.

I also said that Facebook is replacing PHP, which is true. That's not a criticism of PHP. The fact that huge companies like Yahoo and Facebook can be started with PHP is amazing.

I think PHP is a good analogy for bash. It gets the core things right, and it gets a ton of work done. I like languages you can get work done in! That's why I use bash.

But both languages also evolved a lot of warts. That's inevitable when you have so many users. They have diverse needs, and you need to preserve backward compatibility, which leads to an awkward evolution.

Alchemists are trained in how matter behaves and how to manipulate it... turns out they're not any more competent at it than anyone else. It seems obvious that a student of philosophy who has been trained in logic and critical thinking will be better at it than others, but obviousness is not in itself evidence. Lots of things sound obvious but later turn out not to be true.

The other thing is that you've made a dichotomy out of a quantitative problem: how much better are philosophers at it than anyone else? A little? A lot? Is it a skill that persists after graduation? Better at certain types of problems, maybe worse at others?

In any other context, on any other topic, a philosopher would never dare to make hand-wavey statements about how obvious and straightforward it is that X leads to Y. Only when it comes to their own field of study and its value do philosophers become sloppy and claim the value of their field is self-evident and frankly beyond discussion, or they try to turn it into an irrelevant meta-discussion about the nature of evidence. That's the irony I was pointing out. If you boast about being rigorous, be rigorous even when it doesn't suit your purposes.
