This seems really interesting as someone who is currently going through the pain that is Java android development.

Unfortunately at my stage, the difference between "free" (excluding Google developer fee) and paid usage is a significant enough difference. I'm probably not the target market though.

This looks really cool, good job!

i never thought it was time to give up on rss. Facebook has become a mess, and never was a place to get news from.

After Google Reader was shutdown, i switched to Feedly, but was missing some features, so i decided to build something that would be a cross over between a regular RSS reader and a news aggregator like Google News.
So now i can manage my rss feeds, and check out the news in the world that don't show up in my feeds.
I also added automatic categorization, entity extraction, and will be adding recommendations, filters, rules, etc...

If you want to give it a try and give me somme feedback, you're welcome :-)

I extracted everything I could from those courses, which served as a basic comp sci foundation, saw that I was pretty good at it, took a few more not-as-important courses, then applied to a challenging coding bootcamp. I passed the coding tests, got in, worked and learned the hardest I have ever done so before for a few months, and continued studying on my own for a couple months. Then I applied for a job that required a practical coding test, knew someone at the company so they would at least give me a chance, and crushed the coding challenge. I was almost optimally prepared for the job and hit the ground running, while having no official credentials. It's been great since then. The only drawback is that I don't have the broad depth of knowledge/experience that I imagine can come from a CS degree. So I am planning on getting a masters.
>But the reason the US was able to do so much fundamental research in the 20th century is not (just) because the US culturally valued fundamental research - it's because the US was able to get popular support for taxing people and spending it on the war effort (both the World Wars and the Cold War) and decided that fundamental research was necessary for the war effort.

Are you implying that the USSR spent a smaller percentage of tax revenue on the war effort?

The Muskegon River (the main drainage for the area) has a discharge of 1,450 cubic feet per second at Evart, Michigan (where this facility is located). That is about 11,000 gallons per second, or about 937 million gallons per day.

The facility proposes to pump about half a millon gallons per day.

I think it's kind of hilarious that the users of HN are outraged that FB and Instagram are even a thing, while simultaneously outraged that they're taking steps to close potential leaks of the personal information of their users.
'Social' is an adjective.
I think I understand what you are saying, but it seems to me that's not the point.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but what I was responding to is your statement which I read as "the difference between an abortion and homicide is that we don't consider a fetus as an alive human". To which I responded by saying that if it was the only difference, capital punishment, euthanasia and other stuff would be considered homicide too, as the fact that the subject of these procedures is an "alive human" seems insufficient to consider these cases as homicides.

I'm afraid I'm not understanding whether you're telling me I'm right, I'm wrong or arguing another point entirely. Can you please help me understand?

(I hope I don't come across as belligerant or condescending because neither of those is my intention, I'm genuinely trying to understand your point of view and what you're saying. Also, as you may have understood, English is not my native language, so I may be missing something in my reading of your comments)

Desk Ref[1]. It's a ref for your desk.

It answers almost any question you might have pertaining to workshop activities. Speeds, feeds, that kind of thing. I keep it in our break room in case one of us needs to look something up. A lot of the younger technicians are fresh out of school, and we also have apprentices on our shift. Having a resource like this is invaluable for when they have a question, and none of us old-timers are available to answer it because something major has broken and we're scrambling to make it not-broken.

Our company prints its own training materials and we have a veritable library of Standard Maintenance Procedures, as well as manufacturer's manuals for all the different machines in our shop. We keep them indexed in a large filing cabinet.

100% this.

Any laser scanner you'd put on a vehicle is going to be ToF, as far as I know. While this is useful for indoor sensing, you'd completely wash out the laser illumination once you have to compete with sunlight.

This would be better described as a structured light scanner. The principle is more similar to what something like a Kinect uses than a Velodyne/SICK/Hokuyo etc.
iRiver H3{2,4}0 was one of the earlier devices with a 2,5" HDD able to run Rockbox. Even with stock firmware, it supported OGG Vorbis. It sports a NXP ColdFire (previously owned by Motorola/Freescale).

I can recommend the FP2, if you can afford it, since its a tad expensive. Esp for the out of date hardware. But it is unfortunately not all open firmware. Then again, is there any 4G phone out there with open firmware? The FP3 should be out within a year. We gotta see what it'll have in store.

Anyway, nice list. Maybe mention the open source router firmware such as OpenWrt (EDIT: oh, you did. Well, LEDE merged w/them recently). PC-Engines APU(2) [1] also supports Coreboot. There's also a plethora of Raspberry Pi clones out there, many of which run AllWinner which is a PITA.

The tone of this article seems to be suggesting that a likely conclusion is that you should not bother with college. However, I wonder if a better way to look at the current system is that you need to pick one of two approaches - (a) if you are a genius and can get a free ride at one of the very best colleges, do that, and (b) if you can't, get the absolute cheapest degree by going to a public community college and transferring to a 4-year public school, because the goal is to get the piece of paper from a legit university for the absolute least price.
I did that for a while with my family. I think it's a good step towards being cleaner, but ultimately a bidet is the easiest and cleanest. At that point the family cloths can just be "dry off" cloths, i.e. after washing with the bidet, dry the water off. The water should be clean unless you missed some ;)

Not only that, but unless the effort is global, the impact of any AI will deliver greater effect in countries with less citizen rights.

So while it's great these protestors want to protect us from AI, those in China, Russia, India, Iran, will endure a greater threat from AI and it behooves us to be at the forefront lest we fall behind.

In other words a moratorium can only work if all participants agree and participate. Sort of like the anti nuclear proliferation treaty.

..and buggy software.
I'm not equating them.

I'm saying if that you argue that country-a service provider is required to follow the laws of a user from country-b, perhaps because you agree with the laws of country-b (regarding "protection of privacy" in this case), then that logic creates a problem when you don't like the laws of country-b or when they in fact conflict with the laws of country-a.

I was specifically responding the the assertion that "If a company wants to operate in Europe and accept European customers, they abide by the law" and pointing out that accepting that logic may not lead where you want it to lead.

Sure you can refuse to do business with customers from other countries, but now you have to have some process for determining what jurisdiction the user is from including figuring out how to protect yourself from a foreign jurisdiction that decides that you didn't do enough to discern the true jurisdiction of the user (who may have given incorrect information, clicked through the form, etc).

It is not obvious exactly what would be the best way to manage that risk.
It will work fine in that it will send the email to the server you want it sent to. That doesn't mean it'll show up in most users inboxes.
Good point. I was guessing randomly with justification. If I had guessed that 0.001% or 1000% of all sunk sailors died it wouldn't be a Fermi estimate.
Fly Edge Apps?

First I was thinking it's something to do with Samsung Galaxy S6-S9 Edge phones, for developing edge gadgets (or whatever they're called). After all, the title says "Edge Apps". See: https://www.google.com/search?q=edge+apps

Nope.

Then I thought maybe it has something to do with Windows Edge browser.

Nope.

Turns out this is just an advertisement for some geographical edge computing (CDN for code) product.

God Save Austin
As someone who follows digital advertising industry, I want to add some context to this discussion.

People tend to view youtube "de-monetization" act as something out of the blue. Story goes as "evil youtube cornered the market of online videos and now acting like a spoiled child, f--king with people who were making some small buck from their videos".

This is not the case. In fact, for last 2 years large advertisers were getting more and more unhappy and angry about digital advertising, citing the lack of transparency, fraud and lack of brand safety as their main concerns. It was brewing for a long time now.

P&G, the largest advertiser in the world, and trend-setter in general advertising, cut hundreds of millions from their digital budgets in 2017. [0]

Youtube, unlike google search engine, depends on large brands doing "brand advertising", as opposed to "performance advertising". You can't force 10000's of small businesses advertise on youtube, ROI is just not here. It's P&G, Ford, Unilever and others giants who keep the lights on in youtube offices, and giants were clearly revolting. And when they cut spend, they cut it not from youtube only, but from all digital, meaning that google mothership also hurt from their move.

So, youtube tried to save the situation, clumsily. Ads are now appearing in much smaller subset of videos, which are vettoed, and youtube jacked up the prices [1] of such inventory, to make up the lost revenue from long tail of videos.

Take into account the fact that youtube is rumored to be unprofitable or making very modest profit (due to enormous technical costs they have) and you see it more like move out of desperation than anything else.

> I am seriously fed up with Mailchimp not taking any actual action against these users after I already told them that I don't consent to receiving any messages about any topic from anybody via their platform.

I feel your pain, but it's worth noting that email, by its very design, is intended to be open to receiving unsolicited messages. So frankly, by using email at all you have actually consented to receive unwanted emails from time to time.

I think it's unreasonable to expect MailChimp to maintain a ruthless approach to prevent people from doing something that can be done with any email client, sendmail, or any number of tools that use the open protocol of email.

Things are bad enough as it is with closed and segmented communications methods on the rise. I'm pretty happy that email exists the way that it does, and MailChimp strikes me as a company that really works hard to strike a balance between the competing needs of being useful for sending mass emails while being mindful of spam.
War is not primarily about hatred. It's about irreconcilable differences, where the calculated risk and cost of war is preferred to losing some perceived national interest. Your sweet sentiment that we should all just act nicely and get along does not survive serious contemplation of the incentive structures that drive nations (or individuals, for that matter), or the thousands of years of human history marked by pervasive warfare.

Philosophically, it is strange to make agreeableness the standard for the behavior of nations. Being good is much more than being nice, and any thoughtful conception of moral goodness will sometimes require actions that upset others.

And finally, you seem to be assuming that my country is the only possible bad actor. But of course, that’s not true. My country could do everything “right”, only for someone else to start a war.

>Why do you (whichever country you are from) have enemies in the first place? What did your country do to make others hate it? A lot of people seem to focus on how to defend against "those who hate us" without spending a passing thought on the why of it.

Are you really arguing that it's Poland's fault for having a country in the same place that Hitler wanted lebensraum?
I find comments like these amusing.

First, you don't need to spend hours configuring the Touch Bar for it to be a functional machine, like you would trying to run Linux on a laptop... But some people do, because it's there. The Touch Bar works just fine without this article.

Second, having a myriad of workarounds for its problems is a positive not a negative. Everything has problems; I'll take the platform that has a myriad of workarounds over the one that has a handful.

Be my guest to use something else for all of your programming. I'll keep using my MacBook Pro.
From the article:

>> But despite deep public opposition, the agency concluded that the company's plan met with legal standards.

I’ll take equal interpretation of the law over mob rule any day of the week.
With respect to software I refer to Programming Elixir/Phoenix (although both Programming Elixir 1.6/Phoenix 1.4 should be released soon). I'm also going through Functional Web Development with Elixir, OTP, and Phoenix by Lance Halvorsen at the moment.

Outside of software I have:

- The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham

- Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel

- Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting by Syd Field

- Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant

One book that I have been meaning to add next to Syd Field's Screenplay is Story: Style, Structure, Substance, and the Principles of Screenwriting by Robert McKee.
In cases like that, you also compile the Python GC to wasm and use it. It ships with your app, adding bloat to your binary though. It does work!
> In this way, the entire democratic process was corrupted.

Let's call this what it is: Propaganda. Same as it always was, just with more input tailoring & curating it.

The biggest problem I still see here is that people expect "truth" from random Facebook posts. It's a website where basically anybody can upload anything. It's 4chan with a few more rules.

Democracy works best with an informed voter base, but misinformation has been there from the beginning. I don't see how this "corrupted the democratic process" any differently than in the past where propaganda was being pushed through other common media outlets, and making money off catering to their audience's outrage and gullibilities.

Judgment of information is something where voting citizens need to be personally vigilant, no matter their sources. That vigilance includes recognizing echo chambers and lack of exposure to a breadth of ideas.
Not sure it's the same thing as the ranting, foaming condemnation that I see even here on HN for shooting sports.
These are fairly old, but I've gathered they don't make a profit based on articles like the following.

Awesome!

It'd be pretty sweet if you could send things sampled using Vector over to FlameScope. I know the flamegraphs PMDA is experimental but it's always worked fine for me :)

(It'd also be pretty sweet if there was a fleshed out PMDA for bcc tools. And Vector supported them. And, and, and... I have a really long wishlist.)
> MailChimp should add a feature IMO where if somebody uploads an email address of people opting out that this person will be blacklisted from further using MailChimp.

That would be the easiest way to eliminate spam from MailChimp's platform. Also probably the quickest way to eliminate a vast majority of their paying customers.
> Press the power button.

In older macbooks I've used, this also would put the system into suspend mode. That's fine, but it would also disconnect any terminals on remote systems because the system would no longer be on. Is this still the case or has that changed recently? For a coffee break button I wouldn't want to have to reconnect to everything I was working on before, or have to worry about any long running processes (say ML training, copying a file, etc.) that were going on when i'm just walking away for two minutes to fill my water up.
Love all those books. Hadn't heard of the last one though. Looks like it's available online [1].

And actually, it has a few cool links on its homepage to similar books. In particular, there is a link to this gem [2], which, for example, has a chapter [3] on what appears to be a very interesting generalization [4] of the "master theorem" of CLRS. Another good resource that pages links to seems to be [5], which was recently mentioned on HN.

Of course, for an even deeper treatment of asymptotic analysis check out Flajolet and Sedgewick [6]!
