Ask HN: What's your first query to a new search engine?
I always ask "verilog" or "what is verilog" to get a sense of how the engine matches up to Google/DDG. I was curious about what others ask for the first time.
This is what we need, idiots. Catching you with such glasses, you would regret it for the rest of your life.
For me personally, I get an hour unpaid lunch. I skip the shower. 4 days of the week I lift (one main lift with 2+ minute rest, 4-5 accessories with 1:30 rest) and one day I have enough time to run 3 miles (a little faster than a 9 minute mile).

On days I run I wash my face and put on a fresh pair of underwear/socks. Maybe I'm gross but I think the shower is honestly unnecessary.
Same government - Under same authority - Same federal budget - Same concerns.
From what I understand (I'd love to be wrong here) we have currently no AR or VR technology which could conceivably be used to work with a lot of text. The resolution is not there and it's possible that it won't ever be.

Which is a damn shame, because I'd sell my kidney for the ability to work with two decently sized (virtual) displays from my couch or in the garden...
Maybe successful people are good at keeping things simple?
Crypto has actually made me had a phase-shift in my feelings towards capitalism in general. I think a healthy amount of inequality and competition need to exist for an innovative and inventive society. Crypto has taught me that it's really just human nature to want a get-rich-quick scheme and retire younger than 30 years old. The funny thing I find in all of this is that if someone purely believes crypto is the future, then exchange rates back to fiat currency wouldn't matter. This crash has taught me that all crypto people care about is the ratio to USD and that to me proves that people have faith in the Dollar.

> If the bank issued you a cryptocurrency at a rate of $1/coin then it would be same thing as giving you your dollars back. It would reduce the banks reserves.

Why would it reduce their reserves? The bank would still be holding your USD, and they only have to give it back when you trade the coin back to them for cash.
Programming really is simulating the world, through code. If you don't understand the world well enough you can't be a good programmer.

Which is why programming is largely meta-math.

This also happens to make programmers some of the most awesome people. You have to use various mental models to view the world in a way that help you simulate it.

So we have to talk and discuss about everything here.
Another feature is that the mock module is now part of the standard library, no need to install.
Understanding the Attack Vectors of CVE-2018-0101
What YAML did in this aspect is providing a whitelist of allowed classnames.
This is the fundamental issue with most of the web technologies, though: we’ve taken a platform intended to essentially display documents with a tiny bit of interactivity and turned it into an operating system.
Ah, you're right, I missed that part. Sorry, ddalex. :)
I honestly think if folks paid attention to that last bit you said - And if you do, be 100% honest and up front about doing so - it wouldn't be an issue.

I understand making composites since you can get some really neat-looking scenes from such things. But the issue here is really the same dishonesty that a long-exposure gives: Folks going anywhere expecting to see a somewhat similar image cannot do so.
The anthropological answer to this question is: Because we wouldn't be here to ask the question if it was balanced.
Why not call it photography if it is photography?
Many paintings are also depictions of real things.
Art is art, no matter the tools. Or are we not allowed to call
black and white photograpy photography, because real things have colors?

We all see the different reality anyway (think about color blind people, etc.).
The aim of the photographer is not to show the world how it is (which is not really possible), but how they see it or want you to see it.
Now, if that printer could be part of https://instantink.hpconnected.com it would be great.

> Yubikey - are a neat idea, but not everything supports them.

It's a fair point, but in general security has no silver bullets. Build a better lock, and attackers will build a better lockpick (or go through a window instead).

Lack of universal U2F support (a broader login security spec that Yubikeys supports) is Yubikey's weakness, but it only helps the attackers to be a security nihilist.

More and more sites are starting to support U2F. The biggest being Google (which covers Gmail, Google Cloud, Google Docs, etc), but also Github, Facebook, and Dropbox also support it, among others.

The trade-off between usability and security applies here - prior to meltdown/spectre, authentication cookies were happily isolated, so logging in once every 30-days seemed reasonable. Now, cycling login cookies every day or so is a more aggressive policy that is arguably better, but unfortunately, automatically logging users out after a short period hurts site adoption.
How would that negative revenue come to pass? People returning their iPhones en masse for a refund?
That's because Amazon is generally competitive. And they offer premium service. If people thought they would have to for that free "premium service" their growth rate would stall.
The next time you get a speeding ticket, ask yourself if you want public institutions to be financed by fees and fines.
HN had a major Eternal September crisis in 2011, which was widely acknowledged by many users, and Paul Graham himself. It got to the point where he experimented with the gamification aspects of the site in a token attempt to slow the decline. Naturally, at the time, many folks also made comments similar to yours. That was 7 years ago. The good ol' HN is never coming back, at least not here, but that's no justification for denying it ever existed.
Most people on HN believe that technology will only ever improve society, with very limited negative effects that can be mitigated or eliminated with more technology.

Over all they see any negative effects (both current and future) caused by technological advancement to be a technological problem that can be eliminated

In their minds the dystopian worlds depicted in scifi and fantasy just simply can not happen, "we will not allow it"
Lisp has strong typing, so 1 is 1, not "1" or #\1, which, unless mark has a built in way of annotating types doesn't give this any advantages over s-expressions.
The Kinesis Freestyle Edge Gaming Mechanical Keyboard Review
> Your choices are to adapt and avoid undefined behavior, or switch to a better language.

Sadly, a lot of people choose the third choice: write code in what they imagine C to be, fiddle with it until it compiles without warnings and, if they're trying extra hard, passes limited testing with Valgrind. Then they ship it.
I used to dismiss those obvious Hollywood cliches, but the more I looked into the space professionally, the less silly it sounds. Images-as-data are far richer than images-as-images, it turns out, and clever algorithms can extract a lot more information from them than you would naively expect.

So yeah, you're right!
Edit #2: There's actually a third option. If you really believe that the price will go up in the future and you're not in the need of the money for that time, buy more.
The HTML example is much better than "}}}}} though, since you can e.g. add a new item at the end of the list without needing a specialized editor to locate the right position. This is one of the reasons for the redundancy in repeating the tag name in the end-tag. In theory Lisp should have the same problem, but usually code (hopefully) rarely have nested blocks larger than a screen, so it is not a big issue in practice, even if )))) looks ugly. Bottom line is code have a different structure than typical hypertext documents, so just because a notation is suitable for one does not mean it is suitable for the other.
While I agree about voice (and that even though I've been working on TTS for 6 years now ;)), I don't think screens and keyboards should be the ultimate goal, but rather something like brain-computer interfaces.
It happens with all forms of stored media.

Apple is not just an expensive cloud service provider, they're an untrustworthy one.

These problems have been going of for years. Apple just doesn't invest enough to fix the problem.
Searching for answers does not leave trace. Only posting under own name does. And there are so many answers to beginners questions out there, that you rarely need to ask new one (and it is likely to be closed as duplicate or obvious homework).

The idea that every beginner programers must leave public track of beginners questions is fairly ridiculous.
Deep Learning for Recommender Systems
Thanks for posting this link!

I don’t care at all if a photograph from a photographer whom I’ve never heard of is a composite, but today I learned about the location of the moon North Pole, moon libration, and moon roll, and that’s really cool.
Because in theory, you can build an application that will work on nearly every device in the world? Think phones, desktop computers, tablets, watches, tvs. With every conceivable operating system going back many years. And you don't have to install or update any software, worry about data loss, accessing the same data from multiple devices anywhere in the world.

Seems like there's a lot of good non-crazy reasons for the web to have taken this turn. Is it perfect? Nope, but it's pretty damn cool that I can login to a computer anywhere, put a point on a map, and have it show up on my phone, and I am privacy nut. :P
Just learn your lesson for next time. Don't fall for scams.
"bad faith" actually is a legal label, and the author of this almost certainly qualifies.
I mirrored a copy this morning (UTC). It's here (single html):

As I understand it, CRDTs don’t work on atomic types you might use in normal code - they work on larger structures where the problem has been solved.

Wikipedia has some examples: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_dat...
I understood it without any significant issues.
> If you instead mean that the installed version will contain bitcode of its own source, yes, that's the plan to facilitate inlining (& specialization). It's not that big, and can be located in a separate package.

Yes, that was my idea.

> Additionally natively there still isn't any debugger / profiler integration - I don't quite know how people are using it without those...

That's the best thing about this postgresql llvmjit project. He added nice patches for debugger and profiler integration. This is needed locally only for the devs, so not a blocker.
How much Tether out of thin air would it take to do that? There's only $2B tether in total, but BTC alone trades $8B every day. And that's down a lot compared to the last few months.
I agree with this - everything should be sync first and async when needed with a keyword (similar to how Go has goroutines and channels, coincidentally this is how UNIX executables and streams traditionally worked). Javascript gets it just exactly backwards. Going from imperative to functional programming is like leveling up, and it's very hard to go back down to mutable variables, side effects and nondeterministic flow control. So I understand why Node devs prefer async how it stands now, but it's hard to unsee Go/Elixer/Erlang once it clicks.
This one has been around for a while: https://www.mimakiusa.com/products/3d-printers/mimaki-3d-pri...

Mimaki is a pretty awesome company.. we have one of their fabric printers, the tx300p-1800.
The situation with older buildings in central Berlin is quite interesting though, because so many quite grand buildings on the eastern side went untouched for 50 years after the war. Then in the late 90s large areas of east-central Berlin were restored at some speed, from bullet-holed crumbling blackened stone to smart painted render in what I assume was something like the original style.

I once wrote a rather personal ramble that touches on this, here https://thebreakfastpost.com/2014/09/23/alte-schonhauser-str... with some pictures taken in 1993 of the area around Hackescher Markt. If you click through on one of the photos, there are a few more on the Flickr set that don't appear in the article.
Can't understand why you're downvoted, you have a refreshing perspective on this.

When I learned one thing about collaborative apps, it's that there is no automerge that works for all use-cases.

Couchdb does it the right way, it simply keeps all versions and lets the application logic decide which is the "one true state".
If you look back just a few years, Apple has responded multiple times to saturated markets by introducing new product classes. We don’t have iPods anymore for instance, now we have watches (even though at one point you could have argued that the music player market was full too). If phones really do start to lose steam, Apple should have plenty of opportunity to create a new interesting product.
Withdraw of bitcoin was possible for many months while withdrawal of USD was blocked.

I can't tell you how many /r/bitcoin posts I saw in the months leading up to the final closure of BTC withdrawal that went something like: "why is the BTC price so high on Mt. Gox compared to other exchanges?"

This post gives you an idea. Note the first response and how difficult it is for users to actually see the dead canary:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1w6qxm/mt_gox_arbi...

Mt. Gox would accept USD deposits, but not withdrawals. You could move your bitcoin out, but not your USD. There were also shenanigans with trading bots.

The post you linked to applies to USD withdrawals only. BTC withdrawals continued for some time, but many users decided to ignore to the dead canary and let the Bank of Gox hold "their" money for them. One of them was a well-known Bitcoin Core developer.
> In v5.0 we decided to improve this experience by adding a new active provisioning system that uses config files. This will make GitOps more natural as data sources and dashboards can be defined via files that can be version controlled.

Yay!

For me the best two things of the release:
- dashboard folders
- dashboard provisioning

Keep up with the great work!
Most Haskellers I know think that library is too complicated—it's trying too hard to make Haskell look like Perl. I haven't seen it used in serious code and I never use it myself; chances are, if I want to parse anything even remotely complicated, a library like Parsec is a better bet.

Reality is different - in the heads, for certain.

What I'm saying, that in my read, photography is capturing something, that, for at least a brief second, existed in the physical reality, as it was.

Could that be something that a web browser or other client could translate to a more user friendly message?
Exceedingly few people are in a position where they can't do any of these. I've lived on little money, and wondered how to make it stretch to get enough food, and none of these were "nearly impossible". It changes some of what you can do to meet them, it does not make it nearly impossible.

It may be psychologically hard. If you're tired and worn out, yes, you'll find it hard to buy that you should make space to rest or exercise or have fun, but that's exactly when you need it the most, and when it will benefit you the most.

Not taking breaks and setting aside time like this is more costly than taking them. Yes, it may be logistically hard to do it in ways that prevent a boss from yelling at you - I've had times when I resorted to going to the toilets to get a few minutes breathing space. But if it isn't possible? That's a strong signal you need to find something else (and yes, I know it is hard for many, but it is rarely impossible).

A lot of these are traps in that it's very easy to get into a cycle where you think you don't have time. But if you think you don't have time for exercise, for example, you'll soon find yourself with even less time as your energy levels drop and your performance tanks.
Got it in one.
Oh, that is pretty cool. I didn't know about json5. This would also be quite nice for config files. Regular json is not nice for config files due to lack of comments.

Json5 is still not as "editable" as it looks though. You need to separate values with comma (except the last value), so there is more syntactic noise. So you get:

{
size: {width:100, height:100 /*yay*/},
}

This is not an issue when the text is machine-generated (as Json typically is), but is an issue when it is edited by hand as config files often is.
And the people frothing at the mouth to get this out there are the advertisers.
I bought facebook at 25$/share shortly after IPO. It was getting hammered, and I got scared out of it and sold at 22$. a year later it was in the 150s.

i bought alibaba for 115$/share shortly after its ipo. it sank like a rock almost immediately after. it continued to the 60s I think, but i held onto it because i believed in the story and its worth. I eventually sold at 185$/share about a year later.

not sure if this helps you though, stocks and cryptos are fundamentally different. I didnt look at current numbers, I looked at the story and what I believed was ahead.

Other OSes just install a “python3” binary, I’d expect Apple to do the same.
I'm curious if you could DIY the mask used for example in FlatCam that they mention, it looks a really interesting area.

Apparently for the mask they use "a custom-made chrome-on-quartz photomask that consists of a fused quartz plate". I was wondering if you could make a very poor equivalent through just acetate and printing.

It vaguely reminds me of an old fashioned technique such as:

You end up spending lot more money than you make. To counter that, you invest $20 billion dollars in a game changing innovation but it fails leading to a write off. Then you go acquire a company that also becomes a dud. There are 100 different ways to go broke. Take a look at how GE messed up.
As Apple moves into its middle age, the rational move is to become more like the established vertically-integrated companies.

* Intel

* Samsung

* The British East India Company

If Apple leadership decides to accept this, they will begin to act like their peers:

* Recognize that the smartphone market will not grow like it has in the past. Create and then dominate standards using IP - barrier to competitors that simultaneously blocks a lot of regulatory burden.

* Recognize that Apple will not be the "innovator" that it was in the past. (Apple will still innovate, but not home runs every time.) Nurture the ecosystem around their product - allow small companies to find exciting new products, then acquire them.

* Recognize that their financials will need to adapt. Diversify their revenue stream beyond just one or two plays.

Apple still has the baggage of its own proprietary reinventions that they try to tightly control. iCloud. Lightning port. AirPlay. MacOS. The net negative impact comes as they gradually end up falling behind nimbler companies, like Amazon.

And yes, this will lead to the ultimate death of Apple as all behemoth conglomerates eventually choke on their own red tape and drown in their own largess. But Apple's days of youth are gone; no amount of dieting or exercise will bring them back.

I don't actually think Apple for the next 5 years will make the dramatic changes needed to realize these ideas. But perhaps a more interesting question is:

Is there any other avenue for a company who has reached middle age?
I think the idea is that Bitfinex might have enough money to prop USDT up as long as the trading volume is low enough. Just buy on kraken when the peg starts to break.

Similarly they can probably afford to actually exchange the USDT for USD up to a certain limit, the question is how deep their pockets are. Do they actually have the full amount in their accounts? $1 billion? 100 millions? 10 millions?

We'll know that for sure when there's an actual audit or when there's a bank run and they collapse because they don't have the money to pay for the USDTs.
I would be excited if these can display charts, graphs, pictures and video -- stuff that's too detailed for a smart watch and Alexa can't speak out loud.

Only the very richest approach any sort of 'escape' from the system and that's really only with regard to the laws of human society.

That's why they're desperate to 'solve' aging.

Honestly, I just wrote my Dockerfile using the example from the official Python container: https://hub.docker.com/_/python/

Then I push the image to my company's internal Docker registry, ssh into the server, and pull the image.

(also, aside from using Python 3 on RHEL 6, it also means using Python 3.6 on RHEL 7 without having to install python36u)

Edit:

Dockerfile (script name redacted)

FROM python:3
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY . .

CMD [ "python", "./redacted.py" ]

Build and push commands (company and script names redacted):

docker build --rm -t dreg.example.com/redactedproject/redacted .
docker push dreg.example.com/redactedproject/redacted

Pull and run on the server (same stuff redacted as above, plus I redacted the actual port number to be on the safe side):

docker pull dreg.example.com/redactedproject/redacted
docker run -p 1337:1337 -d --name redacted dreg.example.com/redactedproject/redacted

And at some point, I'll make proper startup scripts for them. On RHEL 7 boxes, I've made systemd unit files. On RHEL 6... well, I suppose I'll be writing initscripts soon.
So the tech geek in my wants to love these things. It is so SciFi future-y. I just cannot see using them.

2. I am not sure what value any of this brings. I have not see the killer app..

That being said there is an irrational part of me that wants to hold out for the in eyeball version of this. The real issue is the killer app, now that I think about it, is the brain interface where you can think about they information you want and have it come up. Until then...well.
