The tight coupling to systemd which refuses to standardise any "internal" interfaces and insists on taking over the entirety of one's system. You can't run Docker if you're not running systemd, you can't run systemd if you're not running udevd and logd and so on, you can't run those if you're not running not just Linux but essentially only the "current" version of Linux, and if you ever implement a compatible replacement for one of those pieces they'll break compatibility with it in the next minor release.

If Docker were an open system it would already be running natively (not that ridiculous docker-in-a-vm thing) on Solaris, FreeBSD (which have offered similar functionality for decades), and probably MacOS by now. Instead their maintainers are actively hostile to portability patches as a matter of policy.
I drink a specific brand of bottled water because I don't like the taste of tap water. Filtering it takes some of the bad taste away, but adds none of the good.

I'll have to add "microplastic" as another one of my favorite spices.
> "Respondents were asked to score how each of the social media platforms they use impact upon issues such as anxiety, loneliness and community building. The site with the most positive rating was YouTube, followed by Twitter. Facebook and Snapchat came third and fourth respectively."

YouTube had the most positive rating!? I'm honestly not sure what to make of this. The experience of 14-24 year olds must be vastly different to the comments etc I've seen there.
There was a time in the early 90's when you could make a long distance call from a residential number and get AT&T to bill it to a third number without their consent. I guess the idea was that if there was a dispute they would go after whoever originated the call. What they didn't account for was the rise of COCOTS or Customer Owned Coin Operated Telephones, which were payphones connected to normal lines where all of the security was local instead of at the telephone company office. Long story short you could make long distance calls from a lot of payphones and bill them to random strangers.
> We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competitive race without time for adequate safety precautions. Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project.

Wouldn't it be much more likely that a non-value-aligned project comes close first? Wouldn't the Google/Apple/Microsofts of the world have insanely more resources to dedicate to this, and thus get there first?

Oh yes, I'm well aware of this. I wouldn't still be using GIMP after 10 years if I wasn't a patient person. :)

Though I fiddled with an example file for ~5 minutes and it crashed twice in that timespan. Exactly like the last time I tried FreeCAD a few years ago. But I would really like to move on from F360 so I will try to give it more of a chance this time, and hopefully I'll find the time to contribute something.
Even better, a bunch of my older repositories now have broken images since I had to host the images outside of Github for them to show up in the markdown, so I hosted them on Dropbox. Dropbox has since taken down public hosting of images (or changed the method in which you can do it) so they are all broken (and I"m too lazy/repos are too low traffic for me to bother hunting it all down).
At last, one would say: doing extreme AI research at the very forefront (aka reinforcement learning) while letting results available to every malicious party out there? Headless chicken hubris or naive daydreamers, tertium non datur.
This really confused me, thanks for the clarification
Oh I thought these are minutes of something that actually happened.
Sounds like you and the GP aren’t in the same boat - they want wood, you don’t...
Sounds like the best option is to buy bottled water, and then filter out the microplastics.
Even AIM allowed basic HTML for profile pages.
APEMAN A80 (or something like that). It uses a Novatek SoC, which I figured was a clone of the Amba, which as I understand it GoPro used to use, but no longer does. Did I get it right? The device does have real-time streaming capabilities that I used but I didn't investigate the protocol.
Anecdotal, but there is a documentary right now on danish television, on 4 young girls stressing about, having to be perfect, and bad mental health/self esteem.. and it looks a lot like most of them have an instagram addiction. One chooses places to eat etc. on what would look best on instagram. One aimmessly browsers pretty girls, to see how should look herself.
The sad thing about this is that you're probably exactly right. I don't think the politicians on either side of this truly care about our privacy and Facebook has never been good about privacy. The EFF and other advocates have long been consistent on the fact that FB was bad for your privacy and I never joined FB as a result. And the sad thing is, I know they still have quite a bit of data on me due to various relatives, etc.
The theoretical pottery class is the practical result of what happens when education budgets are reduced.

Ok, you're arguing on a false premise then. When education budgets are reduced, kids don't have up to date textbooks. Classrooms don't have proper supplies and too many kids get crammed into too few classrooms, which is not a situation conducive to teaching or learning.
> OP was talking about margins and padding etc which just are a lot less important than designers like to think

Are you just saying that or do you have evidence to back it up? I'm not a designer but I work closely with them and I'd say it's the exact opposite. Developers (myself included) tend to get tunnel vision on finishing functionality but the actual end users of the software care a lot more about the 'small things' like that than you're giving them credit for.

The fact that you say 'tweaking things 1px at a time' shows that you don't quite understand that it isn't about moving things around arbitrarily, it's about creating a design system that does it for you. Every header should have X amount of spacing between it and other elements, every paragraph should have the same size that makes sense with the headings it sits under, backgrounds should draw the users eye to important places, etc.

Using the old/new Reddit is a horrible example, because the old Reddit absolutely had a design system that made sense to the user. It might have been simple, but the spacing was consistent across every element. Watch the comments when a subreddit mod team updates their theme and small things like the padding around the comment preview is missing, it's the first thing that the users of the sub notice.

I've done a lot of end-user interviews, and actually paying attention to your padding/margins and making sure all of the elements fit your grid can be the difference between the user trusting your app because it looks professional, and giving up on it because it looks like a side project (or to use the Reddit example, the difference between using the home page and a half-baked custom sub theme).

HN might not be the demographic that you're going to get that feedback, but unless you're writing your software specifically for developers you're going to be losing a lot of trust regardless of how solid your software is behind the UI. It's not about creating 'art', it's about making your work look trustworthy to the end user.
Ooh you may want to make it (much, much) clearer that this won't work without an Apple device.
Looks like they're bundling MAME[[1] that's under GPL, but I can't find the sources anywhere. Seems to include the games too, which defiantly isn't legal.

I've been looking at Apache Arrow (https://arrow.apache.org/) and trying to figure out how to integrate it into the browser. It's an in-memory data format, and the idea is to share the same data chunks amongst various clients, but shared memory in javascript got nuked by Spectre, unfortunately. I'd like for the same data to be accessible from, eg, multiple tabs or session-wide without copying, so it's like a shared cache that mmap's or shmat's its objects into each consumer on a read-only basis.

If we get this to work we make data a lot easier to play with in the browser; the user can load the data once and then play with the presentation or slice and dice it in multiple ways without overhead.
Just got my hoodie.

That being said, I do not think giving money to eff is enough to get the changes necessary to be implemented. I am at a loss for what could be done you actually make change happen and am open if anyone has suggestions or other links to take a look at.
The channel is not very deep compared to an ocean. (max 180m, the cable could well be in shallower waters - if it is cut it probably is)
They are supposed to but only if your wife endorsed it too.
`xsv` looks great, I will try it out.

My main hesitation:
Its another DSL to learn, there is a big benefit to keeping this kind of work within the SQL world for me (or R, python, etc depending on the user).

On the other hand, getting table stats and frequencies right from the shell is a huge time saver over SQL.
I have a kegerator and always have 5 gallons of soda water on tap, I highly recommend making your own water. I would buy a 5 pound tank of CO2 and a few 2L bottles instead of a soda stream.
They rolled their own crypto. Just Google "telegram security" and you'll find explanations of why that's a red flag.
Libre Office - alternative to MS office

I thought you can reference relative pathed images in the same repo.

I been trying to open JUMP inside Uber for the past 2 weeks. Every time I click the "Bike" tab, the app crashes.

Now that it's all the same company, maybe they can figure out how to integrate it properly?
> For this reason, the Smyth Report focused heavily on information, such as basic nuclear physics, which was either already widely known in the scientific community or easily deducible by a competent scientist, and omitted details about chemistry, metallurgy, and ordnance. This would ultimately give a false impression that the Manhattan Project was all about physics.

Fascinating how easily the public's perception of science can be manipulated, intentionally or not.
> Consequently, couldn't nix's upgrading routines be modified to call out to pip/cargo/whatever to upgrade things best upgraded by pip/cargo/whatever?

No. pip/cargo/etc are nondeterministic. Nix packages should not be. Where they are, things often break in bizarre ways.

In order to access the Internet, a Nix package must declare the hash of its output - given that pip can produce different output from run to run (it contains a constraint solver which depends on the versions available in the external package repository) this is impossible.
You might not call it a conspiracy, but in any event there are consequences to "strategically pushed for policies—such as relatively low minimum wages and business-friendly deregulation" that need to be acknowledged and reversed.
>The tight coupling to systemd which refuses to standardise any "internal" interfaces and insists on taking over the entirety of one's system.

systemd is also open.

Open (as in "open source") != modular (or "inherently portable" for that matter).
Yeah, the use of the word "quits" implies employment. When I saw this article, I thought "Wait, I didn't even know he was working there".
> The government of PR basically didn't do much to try to replace that industry.

We took away their magical money machine and those lazy bastards didn't even bother replacing it. Why do they keep themselves so poor‽
I found it interesting to read that Starlink will use optical links between satellites. You don't need fibers in space. Aim well and your bandwidth per watt will be comparable to fiber on earth. I don't know about the capacity through the atmosphere which is what you're getting at I assume.
ditto VLC!
Arguably if you're just building prototypes then integration with a third party provider is going to be overkill. However over the long haul you're right about the benefits of a IAM provider. It's not only about data security but also the expanding feature set that will likely follow. Think roles, entitlements, user policies, MFA, consents and GDPR etc. Not to say you cant build this in but at some point you may consider how much time you're spending developing auth vs core product. I work for OneLogin so often spend time thinking about this and you're right that not enough devs seem to take the time to consider it.
What do you mean? You can now run Docker fine on ChromeOS 67 and personally am doing it now on the machine I am typing this.

But you could even use Docker before all this new stuff by putting in developer, install Crouton but you had to use rkt to launch the Docker containers but worked fine.

With ChromeOS 67 no longer necessary.
Technically, using consultants as French SSII do is illegal, but nobody cares. In factories, it used to be the same until 10 years ago when labour inspection finally intervened. We can only hope it'll be the same for IT/CS jobs in the coming years.
It's a luxury, and a remnant of outdated conceptions of what the purpose of university education is. As much as some hate reality, and wish for some never-existent golden age of well-rounded liberal arts education, people engage in higher education because it is the gateway to a career, and as such, what they really want is relevant vocational training, which, outside of a few rare disciplines (engineering, namely) they rarely get, and instead faff around with trivialities for most of four years, at a toll of 35-60k per year.
As someone who has not used facebook in years, this drama is getting ridiculously annoying. I wish hacker news had filters like 4chan.
Meanwhile weechat w/wee-slack is lightweight. I do miss a richer (g)ui though - the standard console setup tends to break urls. And I haven't figured out if weechat supports soft line endings for eg: posting code snippets as a single (slack) message.

Maybe at some point I'll find the time to revisit qweechat and see if it might be possible to strike a better middleground between "it's just chat" and all the fluff slack adds.
I literally put my foot down with one of my fellow developers about a year ago, because we kept wasting 30 minutes everytime we'd discuss some bug, because he'd be referring to SD132v2, SDK11, NRF52832, but since I was developing for a client that day who prefered SD132v3 SDK12 NRF52832, I kept saying "dude, I promise you that bug does not exist", while he keeps screaming "bro, I've got the breakpoint hit right now!!!".

Our solution was to standardize all of our conversations, by first saying, 52-132v3-12 has this bug, yadda, yadda. And that worked great for a couple of months, until Nordic decided to release a better product, the nrf52840, but couldn't find enough courage to make a unique name for it.

So, I predict that in the very near future, Universities everywhere will make Linear Algebra and Deep Learning prerequisites for Introduction to C and Embedded. Because thats the only way you'll ever stay ahead of anything for more than an instruction cycle.
A license means that "their actions" don't matter.

Weren't the Kulaks essentially massacred?
You know, there once was a time when we did everything in folders and didn't need the overhead of containerization just to keep well behaved things from stepping all over each other and breaking everything.

Like all progress in computing we've reinvented the wheel, but now with a few additional layers of abstraction and the consequential performance degradation.
Well then the answer is that you can't.

Edit: Why would you expect to be able to use a Chrome OS feature on other operating systems?
I have been a victim of a 1099 misclassification scheme. At the time I had graduated just three months ago and taken a job at a small web development agency that was run on a very tight budget- mangement was "top heavy" meaning there was about 1-2 managers per in-house developer and designer, and the rest of the team worked in India.

They expected me to show up to the office every day 9-5, while I was working as an independent contractor, along with other treatment as employee (was given my own computer and desk, etc). As a few people have pointed out, yes this is common in exploitative job shops.

Unfortunately it was beyond the statute of limitations when I found out I could take action by verifying status with the IRS. But I still have the physical printed out contract with me. It says $15/hr on 1099 as contract-to-hire with conversion to $20 on a W2 after 3-6 months. I was never put on a W2 and I have worked there for at least 18 months.

Now to answer the actual question- how to prevent it? It's hard to say. The US has laws in place to prevent this but without acknowledgement of the problem, the bite is weak. A lot of these things occur due to simple ignorance of the victim's part.

Perhaps a general "professional development" course to be taken in a junior of senior year of college could help smooth things out? Then less college graduates will be left behind, and there's less risk for them to go through the school of hard knocks after graduation.

Such a course doesn't have to be limited to employee-employer or contractor relations. It can cover issues related to how to deal with workplace politics, understand what perception does to others at work, etc. There are many gotchas that people do not see entering the white-collar workforce.
I thought Woz had gotten a job there. Maybe “deactivated” is a better word.
TaxAct has been great.
I am waiting for the day when I can buy lab grown meat. I am a vegetarian since March 17, 2012 and boy do I miss meat. I had to give up meat because I couldn't stand killing animals for my taste but now lab grown meat will give me the pleasure without the guilt!
Same thought. But So why was it cut?
So boosting the post, but that wouldn't count as a political ad. I'd like to see what Facebook would count as a "political ad".

The top image here (http://nymag.com/selectall/2017/11/house-democrats-release-r...) is one of these Russia ads. However, I wouldn't call that a political ad, just a terrible meme that happens to be about Clinton and the election.

> Don’t you know any good source with some sort of domain expert explanation, why shouldn’t it be used or trusted?

People like tptacek have talked here at length about why Telegram is not trustworthy, you can see a history of his comments with a simple search: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=tptacek%20telegram&sort=byPopu.... Moxie Marlinspike has also pointed out a bunch of problems with Telegram, and even if you don't consider him a trustworthy source because he runs a competing service, the technical reasoning behind his opinions is sound.

If you want a personal POV, here are three reasons why Telegram is a bad idea:

1) The large number of unsound technical decisions. See Thomas and Moxie's many comments for details, or the "Security" section on its Wikipedia page.

2) Within days of launching, they had a critical security vulnerability: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6948742. Frankly, this alone should have discredited them forever, especially considering how much boasting they were doing beforehand, but people are stupid.

3) They have a consistent pattern of responding to criticism not with technical defenses, but with ad hominem attacks and conspiracy theories ("You're paid by the US Government!")
I figured maybe he was like on the board or something? Yeah, bad headline.
There are much easier methods to spam, and they're very good at dealing with them.

Yes a full dev environment as of ChromeOS 67.

How you want to use is your choice.

But it looks like Google will package GNU/Linux applications as containers that you can just run.

You can use what they have enabled in other ways as I am already doing on a PB with ChromeOS 67.
I knew this project sounded familiar! I was following your medium post[1] when I was setting up my old Shapeoko 2. It's a good read for anyone interested in how the parts are manufactured.

Well, properly done analytics of this sort can be quite interesting from a data science perspective, especially if the products or conversion goals are themselves driven by data science and machine learning. So maybe you're on to something here.
I believe the statute of limitations is 3 years, correct? I have been a case of being misclassified as an employee but paying me on 1099. But that happened over 9 years ago so I don't think I have a case anymore.
Can confirm, my F50 large organization is conformist to a fault. We're super white though, but that reflects the surrounding city (for not-great reasons).

Apparently Wired's editors take care to fix even small errors of fact.
Your conclusion doesn't really make sense. The EFF was talking about this data being shared with app developers, they were not talking about Facebook collecting this data. Facebook only needs to do the latter to run ads against it.
All you need is a basic key/value store. Zookeeper/consul/etc if that's already running, or use the numerous cloud services where it would costs pennies to have a globally replicated key/value db.

Increment the "ids" key by Y amount, get the current number N, and you now have N - Y as the range to work with. No paxos or network splits to worry about, and far better performance since its 1 call to get a batch of ids.
I think the argument that these bikes clog up the sidewalk or are going to be a nuisance is pretty silly. Undoubtedly if that becomes more of an issue there will be laws and regulations around where you can lock up your bike (as there already are). More bikes means less cars, less subway crowding and generally more transit options in cities that are becoming increasingly dense. Cars just don’t make as much sense as bikes do. Look at the toll that parking, roads, traffic, noise and pollution that cars create. I think these bike options are (generally speaking) good.

>The A7 III which just came out is amazing, and dominates any of the DSLR competition at the same price point.

It has not yet been released. I'll await reviews comparing it with, say, the Pentax K-1 Mark II.

My question: Is any Sony camera that is similarly priced to the 2016 Pentax K-1 better performing (mostly in terms of noise)?

(The amusing thing is that my older APS-C Pentax uses the same sensor as some of the Sony cameras - yet Pentax had lower noise).
Not a fan of the text baked into your image on the home page… this is pretty much a solved problem by now…

I did a cmd-F to search for certain technologies and didn't find them, before I realized they _were_ mentioned in the big grid image, just not as searchable text.
Don't look at comments.
