> "Doing Accessibility work feels like doing CSS work back in the late 90s."
Agreed. One of my first positions was doing accessibility on a government agency's app because no one else wanted to. It was a horrible, bloated legacy app with an antiquated UI framework that did not support most Accessibility features natively, so it was a lot of JQuery DOM manipulation (per my supervisor's suggestion) to rewrite CSS. I still have nightmares.
I seriously doubt you're correct. The communist regimes (as well as their demented cousins such as DPRK, Pol Pot, Viet Kong, etc.) murdered millions upon millions of their own people in the 20th century. These regimes could not have been atheistic as such horrendous genoicidal bloodshed is typically the result of Christisnity. I know this to be true, as I've read it many times here.

Stalin and Pol Pot and Mao and Kim were undoubtedly Christians. Atheists are generally rational and not given over to such genocidal tendancies. You need to check your facts.
Mac users don't even have an official client anymore.
The tone of discussion on HN around this issue seems to have become completely cynical and atypically nasty. Come on, it's a good thing fb is improving and regardless of your stance on the site you cant deny it does a lot of good for a lot of people and seeing it improve on privacy and transparency is a good thing.
Which sounds like a lot of work.

Oh, … and find an old mac to run it on …

Oh, and a copy of the right version of CodeWarrior.

OK, we've changed the title to a representative phrase from the first paragraph.
I've tried that a couple times on my own HP Proliant Server ML110 Gen9. The installation proceeds perfectly, no error whatsoever but no way I can get it to boot from the HD. I'm finding UEFI quite hard to debug when compared to MBR + GRUB... I find it odd that the pendrive boots fine, the installation happens well but the HD will not boot.

I wish there were more tips for debugging UEFIon their guide.

Ask HN: What is considered “negative market value” in the jobs market?
Can anyone give an explanation for that in this context? Also, is it possible to correct that?
I think part of the solution here is going to need to be social. We need to move beyond the Gawker-like era where if there's an awkward photo of you out there suddenly there's perpetual mass shaming about it. As we grow to know more info about each other we need an increase in societal maturity.
I'm trying to be as healthy as I possibly can be. I do this with a ketogenic diet, fasting, jumping rope, stretching, and trying to get enough sleep. I also take a lot of vitamins. I did it by evaluating them one at a time.

But at some point, maybe it's too much. So I'm taking the idea of "email bankruptcy" and starting a "supplement bankrupty." So, at some point this year, I'm going to stop taking everything, see how I feel, and then reintroduce supplements again one at a time. I don't know if this is a good idea or not yet, but hopefully it's helpful, so I thought it was worth saying here.
I tried to migrate an pretty complex sbt build to mill this week and I can say I'm not disappointed.

The developer experience is so delightful compared to the other build system in the JVM land. And the task model seems just right.

> this is not how feature development works at software companies

Is it ?
There are tons of features that don't get published because it would cause user confusion, companies don't want to support them officially, or it has business side effects that make them non suitable to open to a large audience.

Even features that are only open to support people or admins to avoid normal users to abuse them.

I wish there were more technical details on kaleidoscope. Just seems like lots and lots of borderline-meaningless high-level overview.
And we argue about how that power should be used, when we should be trying to limit that power instead.
this is just because of the shift of historical "ヱ" ("ye") getting pronounced as "エ" ("e") then just not used anymore. They're using "イ" as a semivowel here, /j/, not as the vowel /i/.
Related to the "Cutting the Mustard" of BBC part in the talk where they serve a core set of html/css and then depending on browser capabilities load additional js/css.

What are people recommending for progressive enhancement these days? For sites that don't need a whole lot of js, but enough that just slapping on a bunch of jquery lines would get too messy.

E.g. when you want to support sorting tables or saving forms without reloading the whole page. In other works, using js merely to make the experience smoother. Besides the points mentioned in the talk, setting up and maintaining a build pipeline for a fronted framework and maybe even server side rendering with it is just a vast overkill and unnecessary increase of complexity for the given problem.

I used to use backbone.js for those kind of sites, because its view layer worked pretty well on already existing html and letting you fallback to it, while giving you more structure and modularity than plain js/jquery.
I learned electronics outside of school, but as part of a job (which has turned into a 20 year career of hardware design). I remember learning by needing to decipher schematics and repair broken circuits, which is what I was first asked to do, before I knew electronics. I would read the datasheets of the devices and try to understand. I would research what I didnt understand until I did to get to the next step.

For me this worked very well - I need a goal, a purpose. Designing things is good, but I think repairing things is perhaps even better for learning and getting started. Particularly if you have one working example and one broken example, and you can compare circuits.

So my advice - if you have one of something that works and has a circuit board, and you can find a schematic for it...go buy a broken one, and fix it. Then you can sell the newly working one, and do it again with something else. You'll learn a lot, and it will be very practical stuff to have learned. The art of hardware troubleshooting is its own wonderful talent to have.
I remember teaching my kids to solder, they both burnt themselves once before they realised the soldering iron is hot.
Yeah, but this kinda proves the point, these luxuries are not luxuries anymore, they became standard.

The way the world is portrait by many would make me think the rich are keeping the AC for themselves, and actually they only keep cutting edge technologies, which will be in mass market if proven necessary, as cellphones.

Can you believe a "poor" person can have the same cellphone as Bill Gates, there isn't a ultra expensive phone that only they can afford, this is huge.

Now isn't what you pointed out more of a human psychological issue than a economic one?

Google cannot become our only source of truth, but should we eliminate it as a source of truth?

What about other search engines? Social media shares? What happens when a journalist publishes an article based on offline investigation, does the right to be forgotten still apply? Search engines need to fight libelous SEO attacks, but this is a deeply unsettling over-reaction.

Let's drop the Orwellian phrasing and call it what it is: "Right to hide the past". Forget the truth, security through obscurity.

Knowledge is power, and search engines are the map.

edit:

And hopefully it's obvious the issue of search results is separate from consumer data mining/ad profiling.

Trending cars of the week
compared to Azure, the AWS UI is way behind.

The AWS UI doesn't handle multiple subscription, it's somewhat annoying when you have multiple accounts (let say dev and prod ones). With Azure, you can federate several subscriptions.

Having no consolidated view for all regions is also somewhat annoying, as it is to search a specific resource since these can only be searched in their corresponding panel (ec2 for instances and ELB, RDS panel for DB, IAM for certificates, etc). In contrast, the Azure UI allows you to search accross all resource types in one search box.

There are other issues where I don't have a point of comparaison, but:

If you have a lot of certificates/domains, selecting the correct certificate in an ELB or a cloudfront distribution serving HTTPS is a pain. Same with selecting security groups for an RDS instance or an ELB.

The AWS UI is also painfully slow if you have a big account. The RDS panel used to timeout past 600 or 700 instances, it's a little better now (yay pagination \o/), but still quite slow (10 to 20 seconds to search for a specific instance). The EBS snapshot UI is not usable past 100000 snapshots.

I do agree that as long the API is working, the UI is not critical (don't get me started on API throttling, which are really painfull to track down and handle). It would be nice however if it worked reasonnably well, a UI is still quite efficient when you have to explore and understand what is going on.
But we're in complete agreement and that's my point, he took something (HashCash) and found out that it could be used for something it wasn't meant to. That's what's so clever about it. It's not like inventing elliptic curve cryptography designing the first internal combustion engine, it's taking something and realizing that it could be a lot more. It's not using a bread knife to cut something else, it's using a bread knife to create a more efficient battery. Or like using sleep as a sorting algorithm or figuring out that you could abuse the floating point representation to compute an inverse square root without actually having to compute a square root.

I'm not trying to diminish the discovery, it's quite the contrary, I think its simplicity and elegance is what makes it so impressive. It's a very elegant solution to a very complex problem and you could explain it in a few minute to somebody with the right technical background.
George Soros Prepares to Trade Cryptocurrencies
Because the underlying issue is right now one of the largest and most intrinsically important and unresolved issues for not just our industry, but for our society. You're effectively on the front-line of a social discourse that will eventually settle to become part of our social fabric. And on that front line there's a lot of thrashing about - but that's a good thing.

It's worth our time and effort to bring up the issues, hash them out, run through ideas, gather evidence , etc.
The irony is that with more and more sites wanting to be "portals", more traffic is centralized within a single domain and none of the lateral movements are visible to the ISP.

Then: You go to foxnews.com, then you go to pornhub.com. Based on hostnames we can make some inferences about you and your behaviors.

Now: You go to reddit.com(/thedonald), then you go to reddit.com(/twerkinggifs). Thanks to HTTPS, the specific subs you're visiting aren't visible to the ISP; all they can see is you going to reddit a bunch of times.

I don't know the current state, but a year or two ago, Facebook was making a lot of noise about 'Facebook for work'.

I would guess they are doing something like that, internally.

Or, somewhere, um, 'locked in a file cabinet in a lavatory with a sign on the door, Beware of the Leopard' (mentioned on HN yesterday by another commenter, who had the exact wording), is there a giant Google Apps contract for FB? ;-)
And yet, as we've come to better understand ourselves, human behavior actually has become better. The statistics actually bear this out.

We need to stop thinking of "human nature" as some inviolable fundamental quality and start thinking of it as the behavior of an animal in an environment.
Sounds informally like a logical contradiction at work, thus the assumptions must be wrong
True, but it can be mitigated by setting the routing table for Netflix IPs to avoid the tunnel. There's no standard way this can be done, but it's not impossible.
I'm curious that you're using Pascal's wager as an argument for believing in something, when almost everyone uses it as an illustrative example of flawed reasoning. Do you also believe in God because of Pascal's wager?
And it does a lot more work to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot.

Docker scripts that e.g. clone a remote and build from the HEAD are not reproducible. Another example would be downloading fancysoftware-latest.tgz

Nixos will have you either pull from a specific git commit, or will hash the sources, so the default behavior is reproducible.
I just wanted to add as another Git developer (with patches in this release and others) and with no affiliation with GitHub, that this skepticism of their motives that's taking up 1/2 the comments here is entirely unwarranted.

I think it's also much better for a general audience like HN to link to these summary posts made by GitHub, Bitbucket and others than to the official release notes.

The official release notes are quite terse, and much too long for someone who just wants a quick summary without getting into all the obscure details. They're also mostly ordered in whatever order Junio happened to integrate the patches, not by some order of importance or user-visibility. They also never show practical examples of how the feature can be used.
Happened to me a couple weeks ago.

They messed with my playlists and added a bunch of Portuguese songs to my library.
Seems pretty journalistic to me.

You might want to think about what the basic definition of "journalism" is, then. And how maintaining a relentlessly detailed, universally accessible dossier on the 1 percent of the population that qualifies as truly notable persons (such as politicians or notorious criminals) -- i.e. what traditional "journalists" do -- is in fact, quite different from ...

maintaining such a dossier on everyone, which is what Google does.
I don't really support the right to be forgotten specifically for the reasons the gp poster outlined, but that needs to be addressed with the governing body making the law. I am still against the perception that if it's not on Google it never happened.

ok, we can define it like that. but its useful to distinguish between these different ways supply and demand can act then, under your definition. One is concerned with just the number of available jobs, and concerns the "efficient market" situation where employers simply can not increase wages and stay profitable. This is the more common
"supply and demand" notion, afaik. The other is artificial - workers can unionize, and what the employers can do is described in the article.
Oh man, I remember this too. A friend of mine ended up leader of a huuuuuge alliance for a number of years back in 2004 or so and a few years ago I had a few sit down meetings with the current owners of the game when I was doing an analytics startup. (AFAIK the game is still running)

I also thought of Mani Matter immediately. And I think you are selling him short. I love Lehrer's songs, but IMO Matter's lyrics even surpasses them in wit and poetical talent. His public body of work is more extensive, too. Shame really, that potentially only a few million people understand them.

Going to throw another book in the ring. I generally recommend this book for people getting started, because it teaches them how to solve specific problems with real examples. The theoretical side of electronics can be quite daunting because of the sheer number of concepts and understanding of mathematics that are required.

Practical Electronics for Inventors covers a large number of important circuit/electronic concepts but grounds them in real world application. Perfect for getting your hands dirty while learning the most pragmatic aspects of electronic theory.
I worked on a project professionally to find out why we were corrupting SD cards. Turned out that the SD card firmware is just garbage in a lot of cases. Ended up with a test program that could corrupt an SD card from a given manufacturer within a couple hours with slow (80kb/s) continous reads and writes from any hardware running Linux. The manufacturer couldn't have cared less and essientially blew us off despite having a support contract.

Long story, short, buy 'industrial' SD cards if you care about them not getting corrupted.
Money. Money is the driver.
The real problem is internet makes everything look like it happened yesterday. Traditional news is, well, news, but Google doesn’t really distinguish between yesterday and 20 years ago. Some 90s articles and pages are still perfectly relevant and should be on the first page of search results, others very much not so.

Beyond #DeleteFacebook – A Step Towards Meaningfulness
If I may take advantage of the numerous highly knowledgeable people in the industry here — has anyone recommendations for accepting payments from the UAE?

We use Stripe to receive card payments there in AED and then need to pay this money out again in AED. As Stripe don’t settle in AED the funds get converted to USD and then we have to convert them to AED again to pay out.

Stripe charge 2% conversion fee over market rates to convert the funds. What’s most annoying is AED is pegged to USD and there’s no conversion risk, yet Stripe charge the conversion fee anyway. So we pay 2.9% or 3.4% (can’t remember which it is off the top of my head) international card fee, 2% Fx to USD and another few % back to AED :-€
I agree -- BTC is an extremely volatile speculative vehicle. God only knows if it will be worth nothing or everything in 12 months, but everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows not to treat it as a currency.

Well the founder was recorded admitting to creating fake news for political purposes in an untraceable manner. The FB data would have let them target and personalize it.

And the 2016 election was flooded with targetted fake news from obscured foreign sources. I don't personally have access to CA's operations and communications. It's for investigators to prove if A and B are connected.

You are right, I was a bit cynical there myself.

But then again, I can't refrain from the fact that is way better today, I talk to older people and see how thing worked and it does look way better than it was.

so when you forgive someone you never forget? Sure you list some good examples to remember but there are far more reasons to forget. To remember should be meaningful. Should anything other people believe to be bad always be remembered of you? If this was the case everyone would hate everyone.
