Warming up for Fedora Workstation 28
I routinely rack up thousands of steps playing my cello, even with my Fitbit on my left wrist. I suspect the numbers would be significantly higher if I wore it on the wrist of my bow arm.
I trust Github. If it were up to me, I'd remove the logout confirmation from Github but having it there doesn't particularly bother me.

When Facebook does it, I do have a problem with it because I don't think their motives are as pure.
And that is entirely Apple's fault.

That is one of my main frustrations with Apple: In order to compel more people to use their platform, they made a proprietary communication service, and preloaded it on all of their devices. Now I have to deal with this arbitrary segregation, just because some corporation decided it would help their bottom line.

This is exactly the kind of practice rms warned us about decades ago, and there is nothing any individual can do about it.
Tried the multiplayer VR experience at Disney in Orlando recently (Star Wars themed shooter game in teams 4 of connected headsets).

It was cool but the ability to integrate the physical side is definitely a limitation (i.e. getting shot at by Stormtroopers, and I think they tried to add an unconvincing rumble effect using the backpack if memory serves).

I don’t think companies who have profited from the declining power and wealth of American workers should be able to buy themselves a new labor classification that serves their interests. That’s not how a healthy democracy works.

This seems like a very interesting question.

After an exhaustive investigation, we found, surprisingly, that there was only one possible combination on the whole planet that would permit the eight vertices of the cube to emerge on solid land. (The results of the investigation made with the AMQ were later corroborated in a study carried out by highway engineer D. David Fernándes-Ordóñez.)[0]

I wonder how difficult it would be to replicate this finding (or a similar finding). I'm naturally skeptical given the extreme remoteness of the islands (Points include the Cocos Islands (Australia), the Corn Islands (Nicaragua), and the Hawaiian Islands (USA))[1] and the not-perfect-sphere shape of the earth, but I also know that I don't have a good natural intuition about the shape of the earth. This would be an interesting project!

> I'm not saying it needs a universal client, just that it's the only real reason I can think of for including all of that.

I already gave several examples of reasons why you would do it this way in my earlier comment.

Why have we leapt from the garage remote example to a FitBit that tracks vehicle mileage? I don't see why you keep leaping to "it must handle everything everywhere". Stop thinking about handling everything under the sun – we're talking about a garage remote.

> If you were going to craft a client UI based entirely off the server responses, you are going to recreate the Gopher experience, and nobody wants that.

REST is a distillation of the principles that make the web work. Can you see the parallels with how HTML forms work? Browsers don't need to know that contact forms need to be POSTed to /contact, the server sends the client a document describing the action to take.
Music festivals are the corporate dystopia we deserve
I am not sure retraining is necessary. Even in states where weed is legal, they probably want to clamp down on "illegal" (untaxed) weed. No one has to go to jail or even lose their stash - I expect a fine would suffice.

That pushes the question as to whether "regular" law enforcement would involve itself in weed searches or if a state revenue department would handle it. Moonshiners might have a useful perspective on this.
I also had the initial impression that the article is misleading, but later on the author made the point that the C compiler is doing significant work to reorder / parallelize / optimize the code. I agree that x86/x64 is not a low-level language either, but even if it was, with the description the author provided, I'd agree with his point of C not being low-level.

Regarding cutting off backwards compatibility to improve the design, Intel's Itanium (affectionately called "Itanic") was a very progressive approach to shift the optimization work from the CPU (and the compiler) to just the compiler. I'm not sure what the reasons for its failing were, though.
Thanks :D. My bad.
See! I learned something new today! :D
This article makes it sound like people are forced to be social addicts. Maybe some of us our outliers here so it may be odd for me to say this but I honestly have spent more time coding social networks than actually using them. So no, I don't get how people are forced to use them.
I think the problem is fairly well defined, the headline just doesn’t define it fully (with good reason).
Surely you mean venv or docker! ;)
Ted, any reason why you don't permit pasting the 2-factor auth code into the input box?
Commure, Inc. | San Francisco, CA | Rust Engineer | Fulltime | ONSITE

"Orlando Punslingers" is a popular event that happens at SAK Comedy Lab in Florida every few months.
I feel like the 'do it right' comment is a bit speculative or entitled. It does create a usability barrier that I was trying to avoid. Even the extra button click is a pain in the ass when you're rebooting dozens of machines (sometimes daily).

Your second paragraph is spot on. Very good point and kind of why I posted here in the first place. Two minds are always better than one. I forgot about the image attack. I've seen this used in the past to 'win' contests by sending in votes over GET.

Luckily my IP's are pretty hard to guess, not a standard range, but you're right... that is a totally valid 'attack' vector. I'll make the change asap.

I think that if .app becomes widely popular, it would set a precedent to force HTTPS across the web. That's really the only positive I see here. Other than, it just feels like a marketing gimmick to sell domains.

Sure it does! I've used most of those features in Rust, except for Address Sanitizer. But even ASan is available now: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/38699

I remember spending hours using Valgrind on Rust code back in 2011 to track down codegen problems in the compiler :)

I'm not debating whether you come off as condescending. I know the answer to that question. Even if you were right, which you are, I don't appreciate your input because of the way you present yourself.

See how that works? You could be the smartest guy on the internet and I still would't listen to you. Because I don't like the way you conduct yourself.

> It’s baffling and depressing to me that so many people in this industry get this wrong. It’s like the tech equivalent of the word irony.

People like you make the industry worse for everyone.

Cheers!
I'm curious about what optimizations you are making that reduce your need for sleep (as someone with lots of things they want to do and not enough time in the day to do them all). If you wouldn't mind briefly sharing I'd be much obliged.

There was an explosion at a refinery in Superior Wi last week. The blast and resulting fire was within 200 feet of a tank that can hold 76,000 pounds of hydrogen fluoride (only 15,000 lbs were in the tank at the time).

Needless to say, officials are reconsidering the use of Hydrofluoric acid at the facility:

Ask HN: What is your programming language of choice for web development?
For anyone who only reads the HN comments, the title does not really include the interesting part of the article. This case revolves around the question of who gets remunerated in class action lawsuits against a company. The case in question was a privacy lawsuit against google where the two representative plaintiffs received $5,000 each, the lawyers received $2.1m, and the rest of the money went to privacy non-profits.
Ok, w/o dipping into machine code, show me a low level language. Any snippet of C-code is transparent in that you know roughly how it is going to be translated into machine code.
That seems like an arbitrary distinction, especially since Facebook can be used as a personal blog via its posting feature.
I started using Firefox for Android partly because of its excellent Save page as PDF feature.

Relative to dozens of years of "portable assembly" and "C makes you understand how a computer works" and "C is efficient because it maps to almost 1:1 with CPU operations" and a jillion of related claims.
So I have a Namecheap account and trying looking at an .app domain just now, but it says "We don't support this TLD". Because of this I am now on GoDaddys page pre-registering there.
Actually, I would use the Edge line for exactly what it is marketed for e.g. your network interconnect (internet <-> internal network) and internal network backbone and the Unifi products to connect the Edge powered backbone network to devices.

This way you get the best of both worlds. Especially since the EdgeRouter line is absolutely one of the best on the market when it comes to network throughput (which you really want if you have 1000mbps+ fiber behind it)
SEEKING WORK | Austin, TX or Remote | iOS

I suppose in the case of programming, there should be a belief in what a function does, because somebody wrote the function in the first place. I'm thinking about my own work, in areas such as physics and electronics. On one fine day, I measured the characteristics of about 100 Zener diodes, to inform a design decision with about 3 or 4 possible outcomes. I don't see where pinning myself down to a particular opinion of the expected outcome before making the measurement would have changed the outcome.
>Much of the iOS experience is knowing which things to shut off, and which things to work around.

Sadly, this sums up myy mode of behavior when configuring an iOS device.
