My gut says Juno is dark horsing and about to make a splash. I have no proof for this outside of my gut, but the way they are laying up reminds me of early day uber. My main point of reference for this feeling is the drivers, if I get a lyft driver with 4.9 or 5.0 rating, they inevitably try to push Juno during the ride, however the value prop to the rider is somewhat compelling: the drivers are compensated to a higher degree (lower fee) however, the must maintain a 4.9 on other apps, and an equivalent on their app, consequently, the caliber of chauffeur on Juno is quite high.

I thought threads and shared memory were introduced more as performance hacks than superior architecture. It is not surprising that as the performance profile has changed (due both increased core counts and improved software primitives), we are getting back those things that were deemed too expensive previously

Education is not indoctrination.

Education teaches critical thinking, science, history, numerical literacy, and the general skill and toolset to differentiate fact from falsehood, rhetoric, and manipulation-- regardless of where it is coming from.

Education is an immune system for the mind. Generally it is the manipulators who don't like an educated populace, because it decreases their power. They tend to be the ones labeling education as "indoctrination".
Or, you know, just stealing an interface he didn't create and marketing it as his own, but who's here to split hairs anyway?

Despite the downvotes, I stand by my statement, as an interface designer that pours years of effort into perfecting the arrangement and composition of elements on the infinite canvas, it's not acceptable to me that such things are not protected or even noticed by others.
I'm doing some approximation on complex SVG paths for performance reasons. Doesn't happen on non-svg paths. Need for improvement.

I honestly don't think this will ever be the case. Because there is a lot of profit from an unmoderated comment store. Also because it'd be monumentally hard to actually make all sites compliant.
Nice.

There are so many of these dream ThinkPad builds. It's a testament to the community that the fanboys don't just complain, they find ways to build the things.
>I think in this context it means that adding a deity into the explanation is adding an unnecessary extra element where none is needed.

I want to reiterate that I think the side you are arguing for is ultimately the "right" one, but I'm not sure I buy this argument.

Sometimes parsimony is having a fundamental thing that other things "reduce" to, that other things are explained in terms of. Someone intent on adding a deity can insist that it's not merely one extra thing among a dozen things. Instead, it is the one fundamental thing that gives rise to the dozen things. And therefore is more parsimonous.

I wonder if the right thing to do here is bite the bullet and admit that, yes, such a thing would be simpler, but you merely think you have a simpler thing when really you have smoke and mirrors.

New car has a CVT. I really wish it had a gear ratio "throttle" control, making it a manual (but no need for a clutch).
There's a project called SCION [1] that (among other things) does roughly this. In essence, participants announce their presence over a multicast-type protocol, and in order to send packets to anyone, you must have received a recent announcement from them.

It's a quite fascinating re-imagination of the Internet, solving many of its problems (and probably introducing a whole slew of new ones).

I live in Pittsburgh. The air is clean now and the water is clear - but there's constant reminders that it wasn't always this way. Although most of the historic buildings were cleaned of soot, a few chose to keep some parts sooty and black as a reminder of what once was - a great example is the Mellon Institute just a few blocks from my work (https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mellon-institute-columns).

It did take Pittsburgh a long time to start fixing its environmental issues, and it took the total collapse of the steel industry to fully clear the air. Even back when I came here (~2011) people had an impression of Pittsburgh as a polluted, industrial hell-hole - I'm so glad that it wasn't the case when I came.
The 2013-2016 era Retina batteries are replaceable from independent repair shops (i.e. not affiliated with Apple.)

The batteries are glued in, but independent repair folks found a way to remove them with some isopropyl alcohol and old credit cards/gift cards or sturdy playing cards.

This isn’t for the faint of heart, as they can explode, but repair shops have experience replacing them.
There is NO ARGUMENT.

An argument posits that there is a factual inconsistency that needs to be clarified through dialogue.

What you are proposing is a debate.

I AM NOT DEBATING - I am stating the fact that in American society the people have political vehicles to enforce cultural morality as codified through law.

And i continue this dialogue because it is important for people to recognize that using morality as a metric is arbitrary when discussion such matters necause at the end of the day morality varies from pers9n to person and culture to culture
Quick bar chart example with D3: http://roughjs.com/examples/bar-chart.html
As someone with almost 40 years of Lisp experience, I firmly believe that the only correct place to call 'eval' is in the implementation of a REPL. For any other purpose that you might be tempted to use it for, there is a better way, that is not only more correct but also faster. Usually, the better way is to pass a function to be called rather than an expression to be evaluated.

There are more legitimate uses of 'exec', of course, but one still needs to be very careful with it. If there really are Node modules that pass their input to 'exec', that strikes me as very poor design.
That makes them look like glorified cybernetic factory workers
Out of curiousity, how high up in the party would I have to be to get an ICE tomorrow instead of in a few years?
I don't see compliance as the only reasonable goal. I'd someone wrote code and their copyright is infringed, who is to say what they can sure for? For me it may depend on the infringers apparent motive. Companies come in all flavors, from those making honest mistakes all the way down to SCO. And then authors have their own motives. Who are we to judge the penalties sought by someone else?

> Terry stops

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_v._Ohio

A narrow search for weapons is permitted without probable cause, if the officer has "specific and articulable facts" that someone "may be armed and presently dangerous". Terry stops can allow a pat down for weapons; an actual search outside the scope of the immediate safety of the officer still requires probable cause and a warrant as usual (where the Riley decision would apply).

I'd like to know what kind of weapons the TSA might be looking for if the consider someone with a laptop or phone "armed and presently dangerous".

> simple safety inspections.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Department_of_State_P...

Briefly, Michigan Department of State Police v. Sitz allowed a brief questioning to gain "reasonable suspicion" of a crime (i.e. drunk driving), but only because it negligibly impacted 4th Amendment rights. Actual searches still required probable cause or arrest (Riley again), or the infamous "plain view" exception. Don't leave anything incriminating in "plain view" on your device's screen.

I live in NYC, however I'm from Toronto and spent a couple of weeks there last month. I don't use Uber, don't have it on my phone and I was surprised to learn how new lyft is to Canada. The lyft drivers I experienced seemed really good, however, when I asked them about why they downloaded lyft, they consistently said it was because of the 30 day no commission take from lyft, but they had no loyalty to the company. One guy even said he plans to delete it and move back to Uber once the entry offer is expired.

UBER has already cemented a path around the world. He is facing legal battles in an attempt to demonstrate that his business is legitimate and beneficial to society. All others will have the facilities to travel in this vacuum.

But it will reach a point where the dispute will not be with the old business models related to mobility. And at this point, it will make sense to compare these companies. But at the moment it makes no sense to compare revenue.
Asana and trello are awesome free tools. They're terrible paid tools. This is an irrational valuation.
Hi Dan — along with rebuking the poster, I wish you had also fixed the title. There are substantive issues here worth discussing.
>If theories are going to be useful, they'll have to predict something which can be confirmed with follow-up observations.

If you can name something that the multiverse predicts that could be confirmed with observations (possible observations we will not be able to make in my lifetime) I would appreciate it. My current understanding is that there is nothing predictive about the multiverse theory thus my initial question.
the last i heard of juno, they were acquired and drivers were upset about being screwed over in the deal (their RSUs were almost worthless). Just googled around and couldn't find any updates, do you know what happened? Are they seen as driver friendly again?
Awesome. I was about to ask about D3 support.

But now that I'm here... Is there any support for animation?
That seems kinda fallacious. I don't think inherently there is anything that would make an ecosystem around a library weaker than an ecosystem around a language. I.e. if you have a popular actor library then it is not unreasonable to think that there is as rich if not richer ecosystem of things built on top of that library than a niche language with native actors.
> There's no real solution to this problem.

I disagree, There IS a solution, but no one likes it.

Segway: Football aka Soccer had a problem back in the day. Games became (more?) boring because teams would go up a goal, and just play "kick the ball to the goalie". Goalie'd pick up the ball, bounce it, pass to a player who kicked it back to the goalie, rinse and repeat. Then they instituted the back pass rule - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-pass_rule - where basically, pass back to the keeper and he can't use his hands, only his feet. A generation of goalies had to learn to play with the ball at their feet, and the bit people enjoyed happened more often.

Rugby Union has had a similar evolution, although more intense. Rugby's goal is to have a game that can be played by people of all shapes and sizes, and they mostly succeed. George Gregan was a great player at 5'9", and most second rowers are over 200cm/6'7". But rugby always gets boring, because the coaches start to playing boring rugby (lot of kicks, lots of positional play, less running). So rugby, every few years, overhauls the rules. For a year or two, the game is exciting again, IMHO the best sport in the world, then it is boring all over again as coaches play safe. We then get another overhaul.

I think the Soccer back-pass rule and rugby's ever-changing-rules are models of how changes in rules can dramatically affect the quality of an activity, I don't think they are doable for online sites at scale. Instead, the only solution I can see working is to constantly change to new platforms.

I started in SEO in circa 2001, and there were heaps of forums run on phpBB et al. They had all recently started, so they were figuring themselves out. The forums all interacted, but they all had their own feel and their own rules. Over a few years, they developed "personalities", and everyone could find a place that suited them. This "personality" then morphed into a kind of group think, and the forums grew into echo chambers where the rules where strictly enforced to keep out the others, and each forum became hostile to all the evil others, and they devolved from fun places to hang out to the same old same old.

SM then came along, with sites like FB, Digg and reddit being born, and this process started again. A new place, no real rules yet, and it was the same exciting process of discovery. Over time, the bad parts set in, and these places became stale echo chambers filled with all the bad bits everyone talks about.

That's why I think the only real solution is to tear it all down and start afresh, because this process has repeated several times now. I think that partly explains why SnapChat and the other platforms exist, and why, IMHO, SnapChat et al will grow to a point then fail to grow anymore, as the "freshness" fades, and all the nastiness intrudes. Unless sites can figure out a way to change this process, which after almost 2 decades of this process is either unlikely (pessimistic), or it is too soon to tell (optimistic).

TL;DR when a platform gets entrenched, it starts to exhibit more nasty traits, and a new platform started afresh is the only solution.
agree.

That all depends on how you rank jobs for "best" status, including cost of living, nuisance of living environment, commute, socializing preferences, and effect on your family. For many, those costs and environmental factors quickly negate any wage differences compared to living and working even just a few miles outward from downtown.
I think a caching daemon would be good option for PHP, but it does add a level of complexity.

Another option would be to add EnvKey support to confd (or similar project), and provide config and template files that write the env vars to Apache and Nginx configs, and reload when they change.

Though neither confd or a daemon would work for PHP sites that use a PaaS or shared hosting, which I think is a large percentage of the market for PHP.

Using one of the existing PHP caching solutions (like opcache) might be an option.
ABSOLUTE RIDICULOUS IRISH ANIMATION
Can you provide some specific models? Because I'd love something modern that looks and feels like X61 but can't seem to find it.
Well the library provides simple drawing methods. You would animate it the same way you would animate anything on a canvas. (Note most D3 charts use SVG)
Back 15-20 years ago, forums didn't like personal abuse or being off-topic. Now, the problem seems to be "dangerous ideas" or "might influence people to believe something I don't". It's changed from staying reasonable to trying to influence real world politics by silencing dissent. Why not have freedom of political ideas on a political forum? Stop worrying about influencing voters in the "wrong" way and meddling in elections and all that nonsense.

Even on HN, there are "wrong" ideas that you can't even hint at, even when they're on topic and you're being non-abusive. It's dominated by aggressively enforced political opinion.

The choice of escape in Vi was because it was originally developed for a keyboard like this terminal.

https://vintagecomputer.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/LSI-AD...

Where escape is in a similar place to tab on PC keyboards. Also note the arrows on the home row.

Most dedicated vim users will move to using C-[ probably with caps lock mapped to Ctrl.

Other alternatives are map caps lock to escape or even have caps lock as escape when pressed and ctrl when held.
The way to understand this sort of thing is to try to think like someone in their shoes.

First, you're innocent. What would you do over time to try to survive the accusations and suspicion?

Next, you're implicated in past bad acts. Maybe you were forced to stick malicious code in a past version, or maybe you had a rogue employee. What would you do to try to move on?

Finally, you're an active part of the state intelligence apparatus. What would you do to try to appear like one of the other hypotheticals?

There are other possibilities; people get themselves in all sorts of weird situations, but most of them are some shade of the above.
You can explore the tree of life including extinct branches. It is incredible to see that for each live branch there are many branches that didn't make it.

I don't find it to be a big deal. Everyone in my group tried iguana in Curacao where it's illegal to hunt them. They're absolutely everywhere but you can eat the ones that are farm raised so they show up on the menu at many places.

But yeah if you have a pet iguana your perception will be vastly different. If you come from an island full of them where it's normal to eat them then you wouldn't think twice about it. If you're somewhere in the middle of that spectrum you'll either be the curious type, the snakes/lizards are gross/not for food type, or be the non-adventurous type.

I wouldn't make a habit of eating iguana or horse or other things many would consider oddities but if I'm visiting a place where it's part of their culture I'll see what it's about.
This is the right decision, but is it normal for M&As to be blocked by executive order rather than by a DOJ decision, or is this a Trump thing?
We're in perfect agreement on the substance of the issue. But my point was that, from the title to the content, my perception is that the author emphasizes self-improvement as the issue per se, instead of an unhealthy attitude towards blindly plunging into instant-fix "lifehacks", etc. He's behaving as if a modest, incremental, low-judgment approach to self-improvement doesn't exist, instead of simply being harder to do.

I've always had a strong drive for self improvement; in fact I'd go so far as to say it's one of my primary drives. The reason I haven't really faced the issues that the author is describing is because what I do has nothing to do with "productivity porn" or "disgusting consumerism". I buy books to learn things or use the library, I weightlift regularly in the school issued gym shorts from my high school soccer team, and everything I've learned and practiced about mindfulness cost me nothing but my time.

I don't have a problem with the author's castigation of productivity porn, but rather with his lazy conflation of all efforts at self-improvement. Hell, look at the verse he chooses to quote from Fitter, Happier[1]: it's about eating well and exercising regularly.

[1] incidentally, I had an OK Computer poster with this songs lyrics on my wall in college, so it's not like the complaint about productivity porn doesn't resonate with me.
I'm currently on my fifth ThinkPad, so you could say I'm a fan. But I'd like to warn everyone that uses Linux to be careful about buying one.

I bought a T540 3 years ago that shipped with a Bay Trail processor. This processor was absolutely unusable on Linux due to this bug (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051). Even setting max cstate to 1 resulted in regular freezes.

Not only would Lenovo not accept a return of the laptop, I could not even get them to update their Linux compatibility page to warn other users!

To this day:

- The cstate bug is not fixed, and running Linux on a Bay Trail processor will cause lockups

- Lenovo continues to recommend laptop versions that are flat out broken on Linux (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd031426)

So be careful!
