I found this article [1] to be much more enlightening [2]. The problem is not so much that puns are bad, but that so many puns are just bad puns.

As described here [3],

> "It's not enough to just substitute a word that sounds the same (aka a 'homophone'); for example, which is funnier, 'Be kind to your dentist because he has fillings too' or 'She ate my breakfast role'? You probably said the first pun, because the meaning of the substitute word also makes sense in the context of the sentence, and it’s this second meaning that actually makes the joke funny."

I'm actually looking at migrating away from Digital Ocean. I had a recent incident that took over a week to solve with 48+ hours between tickets where support wasn't even reading the previous ticket. They claimed that someone looked at the hypervisor the system was on and found nothing, but as soon as that occurred my issue was resolved. One of the worst support experiences I've ever had where I was asked for the same information multiple times after waiting days to hear back, and was even asked if my issue started during an outage that was days after my initial report. Completely unacceptable.

Mh, there's a bunch of things, but not enough time.

I might want to look at some modern C++ style, but it's tricky to figure out a year to land on, and it's tricky to find a good book. This could be interesting for some gaming projects or simulation projects of mine.

I might want to look at salt/ansible from a professional perspective. I'm a chef guy, but it'd be good to know some of the other tools around. This is mostly a case of lazy and lack of personal project. Containers and orchestration systems as well, but that's planned at work.

Beyond that, electronics and model building. I've gotten myself some lego, an arduino, but I'll need to work more on that to do ... things. I dunno. Make my lego crane automatically pick up bright pink blocks or something. From there, I'd probably venture further into model building, like ships or planes. Or Nerf-Tanks. it sounds really useful to me to have a good basic grasp of low-voltage electronics, and how you'd wire up a home or how you'd fix simple electronic devices. It's something I'd be missing if I was supposed to build my own home from scratch.

And beyond that - but I really want to get going there this summer - get and learn to paddle a folding canoe. I need to work on my work-life balance, and paddling a canoe is a great thing to just ignore the world. It's hard to think about binary deployments if there is a duck racing you.
I think your complaint is reasonable, but I also can see their logic in making what's considered UB consistent for -O0 and other optimization levels. The reason is that for most use cases, I think it's pretty typical to develop and debug with -O0 and compile for release with stronger optimizations and other options basically unchanged. There's an argument that in this case, making UB consistent for -O0 might expose code that relies on UB earlier in the process, whereas before it may have been found much later (or never!).

I understand that there are some use cases where teams release binaries compiled with -O0 if they've identified that avoiding unexpected effects of aggressive optimization is more important than raw performance. But in this case, it seems like the right solution is to allow such teams to specifically opt in to allowing overflow via -fwrapv.
Thank you. Yes - that is my exact point!

Right, and states are free to enact single-payer/universal health care for their residents if they so wish. In fact, you might want to look at the Massachusetts health care system.

But implementation at a state level is obviously not what this thread is about.

For a US-wide health care system you need US-wide infrastructure/bureaucracy. This decreases efficiency.
Unfortunately, Google got careless with the regular updates to the Pixel phones. On the Pixel 2 and XL, back in February, they introduced an interop problem with the wifi access points on a variety of home broadband routers, including those from some of the biggest ISPs here in the UK. The problem causes data stalls even though the status icon for wifi shows it connected with good signal strength. The only remedy seems to be to toggle wifi off and on, which makes it work for a while until it stalls again.

It’s been months (with their further monthly updates) and this still isn’t fixed. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73336431 for lots of people with the issue.

Regular updates are great until they break something fundamental like this. The fact that they are issuing the updates with breakages suggest their testing is inadequate. Google’s support on that ticket is non-existent, alas.
The single greatest risk posed by ICOs is the disruption of traditional fundraising. I agree that many ICOs are scams / infeasible but “the genie is out of the bottle” and having a new option for funding a company is certainly a good thing. Not everyone can call up a VC and get a multi-million check easily, although I know people who can do that. ICOs make fundraising much more democratized and fair, and once we have better accountability many issues will be solved.

Modern browsers (send ALPN) to sites with decent TLS 1.2 stacks (respond to ALPN, even if it's just to say http/1.1) get a 1RTT handshake on TLS 1.2 with TLS false start. TLS 1.3 is nice, but it's not required to get 1RTT.

The doc you sent is titled SNI encryption, but is really about tunneling a client hello through a proxy, and provides for the proxy to not send its own server hello, but only send the origin server's server hello. That's interesting, and should be useful for domain fronting and as a general purpose TLS proxy with fewer layers, but it's not really encrypted SNI.

Jan Koum [verified checkmark] is [sad face emoji] feeling emotional.

It's been almost a decade since Brian and I started WhatsApp, and it's been an amazing journey with some of the best people. But it is time for me to move on. I've been blessed to work with such an incredibly small team and see how a crazy amount of focus can produce an app used by so many people all over the world.

I'm leaving at a time when people are using WhatsApp in more ways than I could have imagined. The team is stronger than ever and it'll continue to do amazing things. I'm taking some time off to do things I enjoy outside of technology, such as collecting rare air-cooled Porsches, working on my cars and playing ultimate frisbee. And I'll still be cheering WhatsApp on – just from the outside. Thanks to everyone who has made this journey possible.
DO support has gone majorly downhill (I have a comment about this that goes into it) in the last year or two with more issues cropping up here and there on hypervisors that go unattended for absolutely no reason. I still haven't found a good alternative but I'm looking.
I started doing this recently, but I want to use a laptop. Blender seems better suited to a full size keyboard and proper mouse. Does anyone use it with a laptop keyboard and trackpad?
I'm not the OP but since the early 1990s I've had an uneasy feeling about Apple, primarily due to their ability to sustain a cultish following.

It went beyond encouraging loyalty bymaking good products ( though that was the era of the dire Performa ) and into mocking and belittling non-believers, and rewriting history in a sort of Soviet-airbrushing style.

I don't know whether the company itself nutured that but it was unsettling. Microsoft was explicitly dominating like a tyrant, but Apple was a cult leader with a thin smile and an army of vehement adherents.
This is exactly what countless people on Hacker News ("why can't Facebook have some sense of the trustworthiness of a news source") have been demanding for years.

I'm sure we will now hear complaints that Facebook shouldn't be choosing which sources are trustworthy.
Thanks for your feedback. I ran into #2 myself when trying to add a DigitalOcean node to a Rancher server running on my laptop. We will address these issues ASAP, at least make the failure scenario more obvious.
> They supplement it, I don't believe they are leaving it, unless they are wealthy and can afford to pay out of pocket because they want to use a doctor that is not participating in the medicare program. Do you have a cite?

No, this is wrong. Private Medicare plans fully replace Original Medicare. If you are on a privately-managed Medicare plan, you receive none of your benefits from Original Medicare (the government-run program).

Unfortunately, you're still subject to some of the care delivery restrictions that Medicare sets, which means people moving from privately-managed plans (without Medicare) to Medicare Advantage (privately-managed Medicare plans) will typically experience a drop in coverage, because private insurers tend to be more forgiving with these limits.

> they want to use a doctor that is not participating in the medicare program

I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Though yes, one of the big advantages of Medicare Advantage is that it's dramatically easier to find in-network providers, even for Medicare Advantage plans that don't cost anything out-of-pocket above what Original Medicare does.
I just pronounce it the same as the planet Jupiter.
Incorrect. Provisioning profiles created by free Apple developer accounts only last for 7 days. After that you have to fire up Xcode and rebuild your app and reinstall it.

This is a very well known fact that you can find documentation for on many sites outside of apple.com, such as right here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/ios/get-started/ins...

The sad fact is that it's not your phone, it's Apples.

Locked and closed compared to what? What makes Android what it is to most people is a bunch of closed sourced Google Services and a bunch of closed sourced binary drivers. That are so closed that not even Google was able to upgrade some of their Nexus devices because they were dependent on closed source drivers.
> They provide major OS updates for 2 years,

In iOS land, 2 years is just getting started for OS updates - generally you get 5 years or so. That's one of the reasons so many iPhones get handed down and resold compared to Android devices.
Perhaps it's still not decided, but are you going to move all the build history from travic-ci.org to travis-ci.com? Can you add an automatic redirect from the old URL to the new URL?

I have a few links that say "... an it's good enough to pass all the test in Travis CI", "... but it fails miserably in the test in Travis CI".
The success was massive, the innovation aspect just part of incremental (small) progress in the grand scheme of things I would say.
My partner actually has the opposite pain-point:

Yes, I've stood under the Congress Avenue bridge at dusk too (while wearing a hat for guano protection). It's an amazing sight. And it's true that not very many bats have rabies, but a few do. The risk is small but not zero.
Haha "pressed to disk and posted" that was a fun remark :)
1. Get your phone number in another city that you don't live in. Make sure the area code is the most common for that city. Now all the calls you get on your phone from that area code are spammers so ignore them.

2. Callers you don't recognize can leave a message if they want to talk to you.

3. If you do end up in a call with a spammer, then work your way into the conversation to get a real business name out of them. While you are on the phone, you can press them to help you find their business on the web. You may even find a BBB rating on them and inform the caller that the BBB rating is pretty bad. Or you can ask them for a callback number (which they probably won't give) and you will call them back to continue the call. All of these questions should prevent them from calling you again and if you are lucky you have a business name you can further report on the web as a spamming company.
One. There is one, and Apple makes almost all of the money in that market.
I can give you a nobel in economics on it if you wish.
I despise the cashierless checkouts too, however, the recent advent of scan-as-you-shop options here in UK(Tescos and Sainsburys have it) means that I walk into the store, put items directly into my own bags that I brought with me from home, scanning each as I put it into the bag, and then at the end I walk up to one of many terminals(there's never any queue), return the handset, pay with card and literally walk out. It was transformative to my shopping experience(as in - made it a lot better).
Then it sounds like the real answer is to work on consistently better time management.

I am fighting my insurance company right now on a charge that I didn't have health insurance when I used their services this January despite having enrolled last September.

The idea that once you have insurance the problems just magically go away is wishful thinking. These companies are predatory and stupid, and if I hadn't taken the time to read every single line for the 4-page, 10-pt font bill they sent me I wouldn't have even known they were charging me as though I was uninsured.
Here’s a naive question.

This all sounds noble and all , but doesn’t Apple know just as much or more about you via phone / watch / iCloud / iTunes / Apple Pay / Apple TV?

Are we celebrating here that they’re not openly selling this information or using as primary business model ? Or that it’s only used for internal business?
I do the exact opposite, with the same results. I just let the call ring. There is one number that has called me about twice a month for the past 4 months, but all of the others spoof their numbers, and it's impossible to tell if it's the same entity, or another one.

I sometimes go weeks without a scam call, but I also sometimes get 3 or 4 in a week.

I dislike tricks like this too, especially because in the end you're still going to get access to it. If a product is good enough, as you said, then I'll tell everyone about it. I think technical or non-business people see this kind of trick and perhaps don't think of the deeper consequences of it - it's not quite a dark pattern, though it feels manipulative.
I migrated from a Palm Treo 650 to an OG iPhone. Superficially they're similar in functionality (I didn't really need a stylus for most Palm apps) but there was so much you could do with an iPhone that the Palm just couldn't touch.

Execution details like Apple contracting with Cingular/ATT to provide unlimited 2G for $20/mo was a huge substantive usability difference. I had to pay $40-$45/mo for similar ubiquitous signal on my Palm - needless to say I didn't - so Palm apps weren't built on that assumption.
Ask HN: How to get time for learning coding?

The thing about an experiment like this is I don't know how you'd distinguish between "ways of thinking" and "styles of communication" here:

"Asked to describe what they saw, the Japanese subjects were much more likely to begin by setting the scene, saying for example, ''There was a lake or pond'' or ''The bottom was rocky,'' or ''The water was green.'' Americans, in contrast, tended to begin their descriptions with the largest fish, making statements like ''There was what looked like a trout swimming to the right.''"

The article talks about artibution errors, where a series of movements gets ("wrongly" or "rightly") translated into a belief about intentions. I'd say it would be more useful to talk of "attribution incompleteness" - how one speaks of a given scene needs the context of many scenes.

So maybe, in my interpretation, both Easterners and Westerners inherently have to have the context of a large (and different) culture to speak of something as simple as a film about a fish. But that's my interpretation of the experiment and researchers gave their interpretation of the experiment and I'd say such openness to interpretation probably makes any conclusion fairly debatable.

Just generally, psychology experiments have quality of doing a high school physics experiment except where the laws of physics are entirely unknown and generally vary from place to place in an unknown fashion. In an ordinary physics experiment, you can eliminate all but one or two variables and use your test to find these. Here, you have a multitude of variables and can't really eliminate any of them so you more or less pretend you can and thus add to a stock of debate and unreproducible results.
Just to clarify, are they developing a universal trust ranking for all users or developing a per-user ranking of what sources that user trusts most? The first option is awesome because it'll hide propaganda outlets that are universally mistrusted but masquerade as legitimate news sources, while the second will entrench polarization deeper.
The trouble I have is assuming that one can measure "managerial performance." Measuring worker performance is straightforward, after all, they do the work.
It's useful when working with remote servers that may not have a graphical interface at all. There's rsync and network drives are sometimes an option but it's very convenient to just ssh into a server and edit/view with vim directly.

In the cases of vim/emacs, people who dive deep enough will often find them superior than <previous fav text editor>.

> And sure, I blame the neoliberal third way Democrats as much as the Republicans. Their whole "let's move the party right and follow the Republicans" really muddies the waters here.

It sounds like you're rather committed to the belief that right-wing ideology is responsible for destroying otherwise-viable public healthcare models. There are plenty of other places where the data might support that belief. The VA is not one of those cases; the VA has gone from bad to worse over the last 50 years, and it's not simply a partisan problem.

This seems to be the central dispute. Facebook promotes the opinions of friends and family over articles on nytimes.com. I don't think nytimes would care so much but for the fact that so many people are in fact paying more attention to the opinions of friends and family. More than just the lost advertising revenue, this is an existential issue for nytimes and similar content creators.
I was there. It was an absolutely massive leap. It captured people's imagination and proved that imagination could be reality in a way nothing else has since.

It's quite easy to trivialize things in retrospect. But at that time, in that context, that device was pure magic.

It changed so many people's relationship with general computing period.

And like many people pointed out here, it's not about any individual piece, but it's more about how all the individual pieces fit together into one product, and one story that was so different from the prevailing story at the time. It was absolutely the execution that set them apart and moved our industry forward.
