The Black Mirror episode they are talking about certainly exists in various forms. I recently deleted my Reddit account out of similar aggravation.

Ideas aren't more valid due to votes in a millenial's echo chamber. Stupid popular things aren't necessarily less stupid out of popularity by a similarly uninformed collective.
By this time people have suffered a lot. Faced economic hardships. I used to make friends regardless of their socioeconomic background but the ones who were poor, always made me feel as if they are poor because of people like me. I am rich. They could justify every worse thing they did to me, just because they thought I had it easy and they had to struggle much. I never got to understand how these guys can justify scamming me. Couple of them screwed me over lots of money and made my life hell but nvm I recovered and still thriving.

> For example, why do Google searches for HTML/JS stuff result in third-party crap sites instead of pointing me directly to the relevant MDN or W3C sites?

Probably because you either haven’t searched often enough, or because you’ve been clicking on too many irrelevant links when presented with results.

I consistently get MDN and StackOverflow results in the top when I search because those are the links I click the most so Google has learned that I prefer those sites.

Speaking of W3C, in case you are not aware the site W3Schools has nothing to do with W3C, and W3Schools used to be filled with a lot of outdated information. I’ve heard they’ve gotten better but I still never intentionally click on W3Schools links and when I do by accident I immediately navigate away. Even though they’ve allegedly gotten better I don’t like them and I urge others not to use W3Schools. Use MDN, StackOverflow and the real W3C resources instead.
> results

Have you ever met a private school student who came from a well off family and their parents didn't demand "results" from them, and they still have a nice life than most people?

Because the opposite is less likely to be true for those who didn't come from a well off family, regardless of the "results".

These "results" increasingly are meaningless when most people are just prodded through mindlessly to the next step and even more so when family member / family friend was already going to give you a nice job anyways…

I guess it also doesn't help either when people increasingly conflate the "results" with knowledge or education in of itself… at best they are mere approximations, however from the article, i seriously doubt we're anywhere near the the best…
While modern languages support for parallelism is adequate, tools are still lacking imho. I avoid parallelism when it's not necessarily, because debugging all these race conditions, deadlocks, synchronization etc. is a nightmare.
I agree that it's difficult, but I've found that google gets it wrong as often as it gets it right.

Thanks. Just ordered Pebble Time Steel
Thank you, I was actually confused there for a moment.
These are very good points! I would generalize "functional" to declarative though:

Logic programming languages like Prolog and Mercury are also much more amenable to parallelization than C-like languages.

In fact, different Prolog clauses could in principle be executed in parallel without changing the declarative meaning of the program, at least as long as you stay in the so-called pure subset of the language which imposes certain restrictions on the code.
"AMP is just a way to do this properly and automatically." I don't automatically dispute the second part of that statement, but the "properly" bit requires more than a handwave to prove its point.

> RMSE: root mean square error. Most important one. Being 5 minutes off consistently is better than 30 minutes occasionally.

This is essentially why I use waze: When there is an incident or other major block of a highway, the delays can easily be hours. With waze, I am routed around them. This have saved me catching a flight and arriving to a meeting in time on several occasions, as waze routing essentially is minimizing RMSE. Being 5% late eats into my safety margin, but when a trip takes 200% my estimated travel time it ruins my day.
They're called CS programmes, but they're definitely seng programmes in reality.
That's a hypothesis that assumes that the major websites will get motivated until the users get frustrated by the low quality of search results.

With AMP it's cheap and quick to implement, how long will it take for the websites to re-implement their codebase and all the tooling to match the performance criteria?

Anyway, you're missing the point that I'm trying to make here: It's about the user's experience, it's not about the user's distribution to businesses.

It's not your god given right to have users and make money.
What do you mean by that? What bigger problems?

The thing is that "control of the DNS" can mean different things.

Anaconda can probably help
I take prescription stimulants for APD, audio processing disorder; whatever that actually is.. For me, I have difficulty hearing people talk and focusing when exposed to multiple or dynamic background noises.. Basically it's a failure of autonomous filtering or prioritizing of sounds.

I was on Belle Isle last year, two times, which is a few hundred meters from Windsor, and the sound was extremely soothing for whatever reason.. I spent days on end thinking and reaearching. I finally attributed the sound to some sort of tunnel boring machinery. There are a handful of salt mines in windsor, which i discovered after seeing more than the two tunnels I was aware of, between Detroit and Windsor, in the river, on Google Earth.

I am in the habit of identifying every sound that I am exposed to consistently, which I noticed when I bought a new house. After moving I diligently inspected my HVAC system, computer fans, appliances, which neighbors parked where, and how hard they slammed their doors, etc. Not only do I identify every sound, but I also actively recognize and consider every combination of sounds.(neighbor1.carDoorSlam sounds different when my furnace is on, or furnace+fridge compressor, for example.) Once I know for certain what a sound is, I can identify it immediately, and continue with my current activity knowing that it was just some irrelevant, petty routine happening.

I can't imagine enduring a sound like that for long, while knowing I am unable to identify it; I was able to convince myself that it was due to tunnel boring; but I seldom am reminded of the sound and never disturbed by it, since I don't live in the area..

We should be building neighborhoods such that kids can walk to school. Even my single-family-home dominated 2.5 square mile "village" could manage that.
You met shitty poor people.
Being poor doesn't make you screw people over, but if you're rich, you may not have notice or appreciated how your wealth was interacting with these people.

Great example was in the show Friends. There was this episode when Febie? and Joey were broke as f--k and they got all bent out a joint having to be in situations with the others where they were spending more money than they could afford just to keep up appearances. And then they got even more hurt because of then the others pivoted to pity and charity.

Anyway, you're still thriving to it's all a wash in the end.

I'm having trouble finding a single position of her that I agree with. I'm actually listening to Brahms now, to see if maybe her choice of favourite composer is at least sensible.

But I do get the impression that she's the kind of person that one can have a deep discussion with even while disagreeing; that her positions, while wrong, are within the realm of possibilities, especially given her rather impressive biography. In other words: she's frequently wrong, but she's not batshit crazy and filled with hate like the current administration.

On a more practical note: I doubt that a board member has the power needed to single-handedly set company policy in the way implied by the criticism. If anything, her appointment is more of a symptom of the problem.

I guess it is cooperation with the national security apparatus people are worried about? With the increased scrutiny post-Snowden, especially in the EU, I'm not sure how much leeway companies have left, anyway. Yes: Dropbox almost certainly cooperates when presented with a "National Security Letter". But I would take Rice to actually be more concerned about limiting her liability than, say, Yahoo, and push back at requests that are in legally grey areas.
Mark Burgess – The Collapse of Complex Infrastructures (2014)
Moving to Microsoft due to Condoleezza Rice being hired by Dropbox makes absolutely no sense.

I'm not a US citizen, so I don't know about Condoleezza Rice and personally I don't care that much. But I do care about:

1. the Halloween documents

2. their NSA partnership

3. them being happy about censoring content on China's whims, which allegedly is also affecting international users

4. Windows 10 being a privacy nightmare

5. their ongoing racketeering practices, forcing a tax on Android phone makers for patents

Yes, please lecture me on how other companies are doing it too, blah, blah, I don't care as these are things that have a measurable impact on my everyday life.

Don't get me wrong, I'm actually not boycotting Microsoft, I just choose not to use them given the choice. And I would use OneDrive given its price, if it would be reliable, but it isn't. I tried it multiple times actually, always noticing unacceptable limitations or bugs.

And so your choice is dubious at best.
I feel the opposite, but I am in a different position.

I am a hobby programmer. I spend quite a lot of time doing programming challenges (Euler, cryptopals, advent of code) and amateur robotics.

Most of the programmers I meet are a result of a shorter non-CS education focusing on getting them employable, which means they know .net and not much more.

So far I have only met one person in real life that understood anything of what I am doing, even though I have met several people that make a living coding.

Hadn't it been for HN I would believe that undergrad maths from old schoolbooks is actually advanced programming or that moderately advanced scheme macros are dark magic :)

Being here is somewhat good for my hubris, but also pretty often makes me realise I could have a career doing programming if my current line of work doesn't work out.
If this were the case, it would be harder to find a romantic relationship as we age. Adjusting for life circumtance and type of relationship sought, I don't see evidence of this. What do you think?
> assumes that the major websites will get motivated until the users get frustrated by the low quality of search results.

Fair point - changes to Google's rankings apply more pressure to small websites than to established ones.

What?
I also dropped dropbox because of that but I doubt it has much of an effect on their user base. Most people I know don't care that much (even people who care about politics)

As someone who has used both extensively. I wouldn't say Docker and Jails are directly comparable; Jails are a lot more comparable to something like LXC.

Jails doesn't have any of the deployment, tools for creating images, building of images, registry for images etc. Docker also automates a lot of networking stuff away whereas with jails I usually have to use something like PF to set up port forwards; I also sometimes run into problems with the fact it shares the network stack with the host.

That being said, all the configuration is quite simple and building exactly what I need for running an application isn't too difficult. The big advantage after that being that I understand how everything is wired together and I can debug easier when something goes wrong. Doing it manually however takes up much more time.
Your example will not run in parallel. The go runtime will schedule your goroutines concurrently, but they will be run by a single OS thread, and consequently on a single CPU core.

Once you execute truly on multiple CPU cores (by increasing GOMAXPROCS), you'll be having the same kind of race conditions in Go as in any other imperative language (inb4 Rust Evangelism Strike Force saying "except Rust").
while this may be extreme, don't think that the same types of things don't happen in more affluent schools
- special projects, make up work, multiple times to take a test, parents and administrators pressuring teachers, etc.

The only thing I haven't seen in the more affluent schools is the tolerance for unexecused absenses and tardiness.
> If a car manufacturer can't get something as simple(1) as the clearance of doors right, how in the world would you trust them to get any of the more critical aspects right?!

One where the interior is total crap, but they obsessed over the drivetrain until everything purred like a kitten

One where the whole thing is junk

One where every detail was obsessed over.

Dropbox provides great value and I dearly miss it, but I can not support a company that willingly hosts a person so closely connected to illegitemate war and crimes against humanity. I doubt this has significance for Dropbox. It is more a matter of personal moral hygiene.
You don't need to be aware of the time to use an alarm clock. On a phone, you can set it to an appropriate time with a message. When it rings, start doing whatever the message tells you to do.

I'm very absent-minded and frequently forget things like eating and cleaning, but out of respect for other people, I frequently take notes and set alarms, which at least helps me stick to agreed schedules.

Another useful way to manage it is to schedule things loosely when possible. Agree to meet at some point in the span of an hour under circumstances where neither party will be bored waiting. For example, invite the other party over an hour before going to a see a film.

This is really great to see unconditional grants! It would be really wonderful to see this catch on as a norm for aide.

It seems a lot of time the specific conditions that are attached to a grant are used as a way of trying to hedge against the PR risk for a foundation/nonprofit that a grant was used improperly. I don't think empirically it's that effective of a hedge against money being used poorly anyway, organizations that will squander money will squander money.

It's also super exciting to see that they're offering in-kind support from employees as well. We're working in rural Kenya where the internet can be really challenging and I know that we'd be incredibly excited to work with some of Dropboxes team on sync'ing problems. My impression has been that the reliability and seamlessness of sync'ing at Dropbox has been primarily driven by some absolutely world class distributed systems talent, and it'd be phenomenal for organizations to get access to those employees/teams.
Most software is fast enough when written in a naive sequential style. For the parts that parallelize well and matter, there are already decently mature ways of using all cores. Languages like Go, Rust, and Erlang make it fairly easy to write concurrent programs.
You only need a license for the copyright though, in the worst case you waive your right to distribute your derivative code if it has been used for commercial applications (which would be a weird interpretation, but I can't find a precise explanation what the 'non-commercial' license covers).
I suppose when you're not able to give an unwavering commitment to protecting your customers data, coming up with a completely unrelated corporate social responsibility plan like this makes sense.

As a Dutch citizen it took me a while to realize that we are in a luxury position where we do have such an application. Its called Flitsmeister[0] and in the circles around me it is used by over half of the people that are driving frequently. It also works in several other (European?) countries as long as it is legal. (For example, in Germany only non-portable speed traps are allowed, and in Switzerland the use of something like Flitsmeister altogether is disallowed.)

Properly means properly for the user, that is, without the aesthetically breaking the page or losing content(as it happens with google cache sometimes).

Nobody cares about the business that runs the website, businesses don't have god given rights to get users and make money. If some other business serves the users better(i.e. Google with AMP) they can get all the users. Who felt sorry for MySpace when getting killed by Facebook or who advocated the right of having users for Digg when everyone moved to Reddit?

Another thing is being a monopoly and exploiting that position, which is always a concern with giants like Google but at this moment with AMP doesn't seem to be the case.
Very glad this is the first comment here.

The solution to tech security, (which, eventually, as we're seeing, is ALL security), is education. Early and often.

Jessica's story isn't one that falls neatly in the lines, but there's plenty of easily observable instances where people don't bother to become familiar with the tech they need to literally function on a day to day basis - and because "they're not good with computers", that's just okay.

Not everyone measures their happiness by the balance in their bank account. These "miserable people" might be genuinely enjoying their "useless" trinkets and adventures. If it's not for you - OK, but don't judge other people like that. Contrary, I know plenty of older, rich people that worked hard their whole life and are still miserable, because they are missing the time they could have spent with the loved ones (especially when they pass away) or didn't do things they enjoy.
