> On Chrome I can see that but I doubt Firefox would make that move.

Firefox has implemented the same rules around .dev tld's as google. I use vivaldi when accessing internal company .dev domains because firefox won't let me tell it to accept the self-signed certificate.
Yes, I had a kid.
maybe the next phrase of a us president should be: "war on climate change"...
How exactly do you see Google doing anything here, outside of a general "they encourage HTTPS" (but the site still works fine over HTTP)?
How do you handle resilience? if FDB is multi-node, do you run a copy on each node? If so, how is failure detected / client traffic redirected, and what protects against concurrent access from multiple clients to the same volume?

That's how I shifted my schedule, and maybe my age has kicked in too. But I do 25 min of cardio at 5:45am and then weights for 40 min, and I do another 30 of cardio after work and I'm ready to sleep around 9:30pm to 10pm and wake up again at 5:30am.
Outside English forums climate change deniers seem rather thinly spread to me. They certainly do exist, but, for example, I've never met/seen/read a German climate change denier who also wasn't a nutjob otherwise (e.g. far right wing, Reichsbürger/Seerechtler, Hohlerder, Reptiloidenverschwörung, Geheime Jüdische Weltherrschaft and all that fringe shit).

So this might not be due to HN being HN, but rather due to HN being very American.
> But it wasn't changes in government policy that made this possible. It was the rise of microcomputers and networks that made this possible

The history of computing is precisely one of government policy, namely the ARPA funding from the 60s and early 70s.
i can use any sleep schedule it all depends on when you need to do things. it's mostly habit and can be hard to change because you need to either stay up or sleep but can be done incrementally.
>Filtering on Gmail is outrageous, especially when you compare it to Sieve. No option to match on custom header, seriously?

What percentage of users would even know what a custom header is, much less ever attempt to match one?

Is that what one would call a basic feature lacking from Gmail, for its lack to guarantee a "seriously?"?
Yes, but it's a result of age and having kids. After a few years, my routine is now in sync with my kids where I go to bed early and get up early.
I can’t find the link, but I seem to remember either an SBIR, STTR, or BAA topic a few years ago relating to de ting such backdoors.
Need to convince the remaining browsers to implement more audio APIs.
It's nice to have opinions, and as an almost exclusively PC gamer I have to disagree. Nintendo is the only console gaming company doing anything interesting, and I think part of that is because they don't chase third party support, the latest greatest graphics, or any of that hype nonsense. They make a games machine, they make games for that games machine, and they do it at the price range they target without much regard to what their competitors are doing.

Sometimes that bites them, other times they open an entirely new market of gamers their competitors didn't even consider. And at the end of the day, the reason Nintendo enjoys this 'exalted' position is because they are really, really good at making games that people of all ages want to play and not getting caught up in the other crap that doesn't matter.
I came here to say the same thing. I read this and my eyes rolled so far they almost did an entire rotation:

Well, you aren't alone: most professional economists ignore banking and debt entirely. To paraphrase Paul Krugman: "It's just money we owe ourselves."

Historically, however, debt has been social nitroglycerine, which is why Christianity outlawed usury and Judaism had a 50-year debt jubilee built into it. We will relearn this lesson eventually, but in the meantime our bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the fire.

Wikipedia Founder Says Internet Users Are Adrift in the 'Fake News' Era
Your first link is pretty light on details, but your second link from 26 years ago says that the rain was 15.33 inches in one part of the island, 10.88 in another, and 6.68 in another. Compared to that, the 50 inches in 24 hours this month are in a class of their own.
>Over the past, what... 30 years? - e-mail remains what it had been in the first place: a protocol for exchanging messages.

The difference is (a) those messages started to measure in the hundreds or thousands per day, not 5 of them at most like in the eighties, (b) people started using it for all kinds of work collaboration and organization. Not just some academics exchanging ideas.

I am a very pro-EU member of the Union and I definitely think the EU is on a roll with regulation lately (e.g. timely arrival of GDPR, reduction is subsidies for less democratic members).

However I am one of those pro people who think it's good to be critical. The nature of democracy in the EU is a good question that needs to be resolved.

Only Ireland seems to have been consistent about asking the actual people for their thoughts of big changes being made in the EU.

It's even questionable if Junker was 'elected' indirectly by the elected governments and it's almost certain he would never have been directly elected by the people of the EU given what would have emerged about tax 'avoidance' in Luxembourg.

Without wanting to give support to the English tabloid media, I think those questioning the democratic nature of the EU have a valid argument and the downvoting of those doing so above surprises me.

Credit Score model – data from the kaggle “give me some credit” competition
I doubt they just went out and did it randomly. I'd guess it was done via court order. The ACS got a court order against them that also ordered that 'internet search engines, web hosting sites, internet service providers (ISPs), domain name registrars and domain name registries cease facilitating “any or all domain names and websites through which Defendant Sci-Hub engages in unlawful access to, use, reproduction, and distribution of the ACS Marks or ACS's Copyrighted Works.”' (https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/11/court-demands-search...)

Alternatively, Microsoft might have had something to do with it (they're super anti-piracy, and have a contract with all the CAs that requires them to unilaterally revoke any cert at Microsoft's discretion), but I think that's far less likely than the court order.
I've tried those and Tylenol PMs too. I took PMs for years (and still do) just to get to sleep for work.
I’m not surprised. It seems like engineers tend to have a strong contrarian streak. Climate change is an ideal target for contrarian tendencies: it’s controversial enough to not feel like you’re just tilting at windmills, but it’s still extremely lopsided. And it’s fuzzy enough that a smart person can dig into it and come up with a lot of good-sounding reasons to hold the contrary position.

It’s not just climate change. Another prominent example that comes to mind is dark matter. HN posts about dark matter tend to have lots of comments about how it’s a cop-out, or how MOND is a better theory despite failing to match many observations, or whatever.
Learning from Imbalanced Data, a Lecture by Ido Zehori, Data Scientist  Bigabid
So if I understand you correctly, you’re looking for a web app front end to organizing your github repos and ideally hosted on GitHub. Is that correct?
You realize what you're talking about (pre-filling data).. is exactly how the majority of the industrialized world do taxes.

You log on to a website, and if you're just taking a standard deduction, you can basically just next, next, finish your way through the whole thing, and just verify everything is correct.

And of course, if your taxes are more complicated, the options for you to itemize or whatever you want are right in front of you.

Most standard deduction people can have their taxes completed and filed in 1-2 minutes.

I've never heard of a good argument not to try and make things easier on people, and "free options exist", is kind of a lame excuse because it requires that people know about these first, and second requires people to trust third parties with sensitive information, which not everyone is chomping at the bit to do.
In college, I went to bed around 2-3:30am every weeknight because that's what the people around me were doing. Also, I was regularly staying out at least that late on weekends.

In the last few years, I've been forced to get to work by 9:45am due to team standups. Also, my girlfriend-at-the-time was waking up around 6:30-7am to exercise almost every weekday. And I don't really go out partying at night anymore so waking up at 7:30am and not feeling miserable is doable.

Keeping the consistent weekend schedule is the key. I've been pretty driven to continue my CS education and self-teaching and so having more time in the day to continue that goal motivates me to get up early.

Any way for me to contact you in a non-intrusive manner outside HN?

I'm 38 year old programmer with 16 years of career (26 with all the hobby stuff before that) and my soul cries for a break. I am working my ass off to start my first ever mortgage (don't ask, I was stupid with money most of my life) and even though investing in future stability and security sounds good, my entire being screams for a much more fulfilling job, ideally related to aspirations I had ever since I was a teenager.

What are you guys doing, if you don't mind me asking? I'm on the hunt for people like you. I need your kind in my life, very badly.

Hope this isn't creepy. Just an honest guy who's about to get fed up.
Yes, you could easily reverse the criticism. In Europe, it seems, nobody is seriously considered to have a good idea unless they're already rich. If not, they must be scammers, and avoided like the plague.

As a European, let me say this is sort-of what people think (and it is what the IRS here thinks), but obviously ... thank God that that is not the world we live in.
hah I love it.

A friend once did this at burning man. He was in a tower at an intersection with a light and a megaphone and as cars went by he'd tell them to stop or go or wait. It was overall pretty hilarious (and before people get on me about safety - this was not in a busy part of the city and you're supposed to go ~5 mph inside the city so there was no real safety issue fucking with traffic flow)
Sorry you feel that way - sounds like you need to relax :)

You can always use the downvote button if you feel strongly about a post, flagging something you don't agree with is a bit extreme.

> One thing that's helped me in general is a light alarm - 30 minutes before the alarm, it gradually starts turning a light on.

I can’t recommend this enough. I suffer from horrible seasonal depression which only makes getting out of bed during the darker months that much more difficult. I bought a light alarm last Winter and it was an amazing switch. Rather than waking up in an awful mood from a blaring alarm I wake up a few minutes before due to the light about 95% of the time and feel a lot less cranky and depressed in the morning.

/shrug, language matters to me. I like knowing what code i can interface with. Generally speaking, written in Go is a boon to me (as a Go dev obv), written in Python/Node/Ruby is a negative with runtime requirements for me.
When I need to adjust my sleep pattern for work or travel, melatonin has been a big help. Food and light exposure also seem to play a big role in my recovery time. If you haven't already enable Night Light / Red shift to cut out evening blue light.

None of these will turn a night owl into a early riser but they will help you adjust when needed.

Isn't it pretty trivial to implement?

Define an "inner" interface, set up the "outer" object with a default implementation (available to caller so they can wrap it rather than replace it entirely) and the "inner" calls simply delegate to it. Make all classes involved sealed/final.

The degenerate case is the humble callback.
Ah, 8 people. If we remove the protocol violations, we get (57 + 137 + 144) / 8 = 42 spam message per person per day. Between 3 and 4 times my amount. I may be lucky, but frankly that doesn't sound extraordinary.

I also get no more than 1-2 spam message per week in my inbox.
in this case, drug cartels extracting rent from them would be a boon to the environment, since it is now less profitable to grow avocados.
Exactly and there are apps to process business cards though I don’t use them enough to bother most of the time and only need one or two pieces of information—and LinkedIn for their faults is mostly my Rolodex anyway.

And, as I say, I strongly suspect I don’t want something that is bump wristbands or something convenient or, worse, doesn’t require my permission at all to add me to some list.
Being spam free was revolutionary when Gmail was new. It also revolutionized email by offering enough space that you could actually keep an archive. When most providers offered maybe 10MB, Gmail offered 1GB.

If those don’t sound revolutionary today, it’s only because Gmail revolutionized things so hard that everyone had to jump on board.

I think this is a really great summary of burning man and what it aspires to be.
he's talking about infrastructure (streets, trains, water, ...) and similar.

all the stuff you're supposed to pay taxes for...
If you believe that theft is an isolated incident then sure. I'd argue that someone who steals a coworker's lunch is not a good person in other areas of their life.
Intentionally sentimental, indeed. The first thing you do here is elevate your 'engineer work ethic' above your brother who is merely an artist.

You go on to describe how your brother did all this nice stuff for you and didn't judge you despite you doing nothing to prepare and coming to the event as a spectator.

You mention how for the first time ever you realize maybe you aren't that important to society. How surprising it is to find out maybe you aren't the most well-rounded person ever.

Like a 30 minute sitcom you wrap up your story saying your relationship with your brother is now a team of equals due to the experience. What was your brother's growth in this little story? That his big important engineer brother might not look down on him now?

Are you really a changed person due to this one week experience? Someone who doesn't measure their life value by their engineering contributions, who respects artists and their lifestyle? Is that the story you are telling?

On top of that, being top comment means this will undoubtedly influence HN readers to ask themselves, "What a nice story. Maybe I should go to Burning Man this year. Maybe people will accept me as a spectator and I will be fine going in with no preparation and have some major philosophical realization about myself."

So I'm reading this episode of Friends comment, hoping you at least do some justice to these potential attendees. But, no. After a successful sparkle pony ride down your memory lane you make a point to acknowledge drug use and bartering. Which shows you really don't know how to represent the event and that this is a weak intro to what it is for HN readers considering attendance for the first time. Doubling down by invoking a description by "the media" is fitting.

Your story reads as possibly accurate yet wildly incomplete portrayal of your relationship with your brother. To quote another commenter, this was a "great comment" to someone who has never gone to Burning Man and does not have a sibling. Hence, my summary of it as "cute."

For folks considering attending Burning Man for the first time here are some things OP missed:

1. Don't show up unprepared.

2. Don't go expecting some kind of breakthrough. Don't go with expectations of any kind.

3. Read the 10 Principals that Larry Harvey wrote in 2004.[1]

>In general, I think that EMRs try to cram as much information onto the screen as possible, without enough thought toward what pieces of information are useful at particular times.

The thing is, healthcare has so many variables it's hard to know what is relevant and useful at any one time. It's not a static website where the designer knows the exact content. The best solution has been to make sure it's all available to the physicians and nurses that can then decide what is relevant. It becomes a trade off of what to hide behind more mouse clicks or to cram into a small window. Now that data analytics are advancing, the system can be designed to show the most relevant stuff, but obviously it takes work to write that system and ensure it's trustworthy for being used for healthcare.
Quite interesting that rain in America is measured in inches ... per square meter.
Whenever I’ve worked, I was always advocating to use subclassing as a last resort solution. It’s the most intimate and brittle relationship you can have between your classes.

Unfortunately the majority of OOP books don’t emphasize this, so beginners try to do everything by subclassing, as if that was what OOP is about...

I agree with the establishing the habit. And I think all of the steps are important - exercise, caffeine, screen time. And alarm clocks! I personally found giving up the alarm clock was the biggest thing. (Also it giving it up gave me the feeling that my quality of life improved. For the curious I wake up at 6am, when it's plenty dark, but the habit alone is enough to get me up on time.)

After the switch I found (for me) caffeine wasn't much of a problem, I can drink an after dinner espresso. And it wasn't so much the screens - with flux installed, and all the lights in the house off, I can code till about ½ an hour before bedtime.

So although the transition can be rough - you are not necessarily giving everything up permanently, just doing so to make the habit. And once the habit has stuck, you can try adding things back in.

Yes I can’t tolerate Material Design anymore, especially on iOS it is so frustrating. Too bad there’s no good alternatives to Google Maps because it’s the only Material app on my iPhone.

Beside this, the loading indicator in material design gives me ... anxiety. its animation is so uneven ... (like the windows 10 indicator which is even worse. i can’t believe this kind of irregular animations have been so widely accepted)
What sets Dank Mono apart?
The author's experience with GMail seems to be the opposite of mine. The new features for disappearing/unprintable/etc. emails sound like they're just going to cause annoyances while Gmail sorting things into promotions and updates is absolutely fantastic. And I use the "forums" tab too. This is the "good method for telling users what they need to read" that the author wants - that's what Primary is. This is the way to help manage the number of emails you get. This is the efficient way to categorize and sort the emails that you get. It's really not Google's fault that you've got 6gb of emails in the promotion and updates tabs without realizing it - they've been prominently showing you the new emails you've received in those tabs every time for years now.

Here's the feature I keep wishing for in Google: when I attach a file, it should let me rename the file. I want to store it on my compute with a name that's meaningful for me and to send it to someone with a name that's meaningful for them. Eg: I want to have cv_google.pdf for my copy of my CV that I'm sending to Google for a job application but I want to have them receive it as cv_tgb.pdf to know that it's from "tgb". Similarly, when I download a file I want to be able to rename it.

"An art historian raised the alarm after noticing that paintings attributed to Etienne Terrus showed buildings that were only constructed after the artist’s death in 1922."

I literally laughed out loud at that. I guess that is pretty solid proof!
It's interesting, but I can see it leading to much frustration when, as an overrider, you don't want it to run that before/after code.

The thing is, the developer doing the overriding generally has more information about the final system than the original - after all, the code is more specific. So taking away their power is generally problematic.

I could see it being useful if it was optional. Something like:

class ScaryMonster extends GameObject {
void render(Renderer renderer) {
super(function() {
renderer.drawImage(Images.SCARY_MONSTER);
});
}
}
Where did you get that this is a "four sigma event"? I don't even understand what it means here. Is the calculation using the distribution of the daily rainfall in any day of the year? In a day that it is raining? During the rain season?
