clearly "management" lost sight of the big picture. Why would you charge for finding new leads? Let us inspect the car for free, and if we find something that needs repair, then hey we can take care of that (for a fee). Even better, the customer feels like they got something for free - someone is caring enough to look at my car for free, looking for dangerous shit that I'm not aware of.

I suppose you could apply the value of the diagnostic to the eventual repair, but I'd feel trapped with that kind of arrangement and prefer not to enter it.
And Java had it on its SDK before node as well.

The original ASP pages could also be written in JScript.
Along the lines of adversarial inputs, how hard do you think it would be to construct a test page to determine if a machine is affected? Such as front loading most of the page with 8's and then putting some patterns of 6's and 9's. Confirmation is overlaying the copy on the original, and seeing where it differs.

Similarly for this approach, it looks like it does a great job, but some simple image processing would help smooth out the noise of the "traditional" pipeline and provide at least a more mathematically deterministic output. On the other hand, this points out that our brain only really cares about a few bits of information out of an image (e.g. the title of the book is readable in the processed image). So if it fills in the dark portions of the image with junk data, perhaps it isn't all that bad in practice.
> Partially, this is based on a disconnect between engineering and hiring. For example, the people who are writing the job descriptions got a 1-line email, "We need to expand the engineering team; could you take care of it? Thanks!", and so they're basically having to come up with all this on their own.

And to think that hiring will have one of biggest impact on the engineering team.

Depends on where you live - in North of England and parts of Scotland the water is so plentiful you don't even get a water meter in your home, you only pay a flat delivery charge each year, but are otherwise free to use as much as you like. In which case, I'm happy to use a program that uses loads of water, but obviously in other locations(Cape Town) the amount used should be restricted. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Would this be similar to past studies[1][2] in how stimuli responses (e.g., fear to smell) can be inherited between generations?

The question is if we can ever transfer complex structured memories (knowledge, past experiences) or if these transferable memories are limited to basic emotional responses to specific signals?

I thought more complex memories were spread across many cells in the brain, in a seemingly random structure when compared to another brain, making transfer between brains incompatible.

Am I assuming that? Where?

This sort of "somebody should have thought about that (and fix it), so don't say it", is probably the safe way for people working in a big company that needs to fit in a hierarchy and please their boss. We aren't in this context and have a bigger margin to freely explore any idea and talk about it. To wonder about the dust storms is a valid question.
I agree, after getting the details it's fair to say that while some MUAs should fix their handling of encrypted emails PGP implementations and the S/MIME standard shares a part of the blame by not detecting and preventing the decoding of tampered documents. Still, the way the problem was disclosed is rather misleading and confusing.

I think it's time people start using something better than bash/zsh that is decades old, like fish or even come up with a more modern shell.

Even by looking at these examples, you see it has less verbosity like "then" and "do", you can reference arguments as $argv instead of cryptic $@ and exit status code as $status instead of $? which is confusing with $! and the likes.

Shell is such an integral part of admins and programmers workflow yet I find it hard to believe this field has been so slow at improving. Even the fish site jokingly states "Finally, a command

Eh. Binging's not so great. Especially with serialized shows that reward discussion and measured consumption like Westworld, I much prefer traditional week at a time discussion.

Exactly that. I would explicitly allow it, esp since most have some interest in some of the topics. Even off-topic chat can be fine if it's in an extra category. The only thing to avoid is pure spam but with some threshold to sign up (e.g. verification) that can be kept relatively low.

Serious question - people connect their washing machines to the hot water line? I have lived in about 8 different houses in UK so far and I have never ever seen this - it's just the cold water line that connects to appliances like washing machines and dishwashers.
That's interesting but counter-intuitive.

In the real world we shakes things to mix them up, not to revert to a previous state i.e. shaking increases entropy.

I wonder who at Apple decided otherwise and why. Perhaps someone with a doctorate in cosmology who is fighting against heat-death.

I sincerely wish you would put also this outside of Facebook. Anyone who doesn't have a Facebook account or is not logged in would have a really terrible experience viewing this page and reading it. Facebook is very hostile to user experience on this matter, occupying a large amount of screen space for its own banner and making it difficult to read, unlike any other large platform I have seen.

Nowadays you have a much larger internet community. 20 years ago, the number of people online was maybe a few hundred million (likely lower), now it's several billion. That increases complexity, any forum that's too broad will attract so many people that you only get noise. HN works well because it's relatively unknown (esp outside of tech). Reddit only works because subreddits are individually managed (and it's a company that can dedicate resources to it).
For 32bit ints that in the order of 3.6e88 TBs....

I don’t think it’s about liking Apple, its more about not having any choice.

Considering how many of their target audience will parse it too literally, perhaps it is the message that is wrong. It's not purely on us to learn to communicate, the business and recruiters must learn to communicate with us as well.

On the other hand, I think recruiters take it way to literally too. The will quiz candidates and their experience on everything in the list and drop people that don't know 1 or 2 of them (and the liars will get through).
I'm writing a Haskell compiler in C as a hobby. I didn't take a look at GHC code but now I find the way they deal with optional indentation interesting.

Try getting a list of transactions, or working out what you are paying with a margin account. Their reporting is inscrutable. On top of this, their recommended way of buying USD securities with a foreign base currency account is to short the forex in order to tie your margin to the exchange rate at purchase.

Pretty much any other brokerage lets you see a clear historical list of transactions, balances and fees, without having to configure a complex report or jump through any hoops.

agreed I worked as a consultant for a company that had exactly that problem. They based promotions based on lines of working code.

Result: You would see huge bloobs of autogenerated code getting shipped that could have been done with about 5% of that code, and then later get discarded by security as a security risk.

Even after my consulting(I was hired to fine our how mouch of there code is rly a security risk like there industry partners claim) they did not change there practice for 3 Years.

Im surprised the Company even survived, but it did and after 3 Years a big restructering basicly fired all of IT management.

I find MVS to be a very natural and simple solution to versioning - I feel like it's much closer to how people actually manage their dependencies in practice.

I still use forums today for all sorts of focused topics and community discussion around games, audio, design, software etc. The best forums have always been where you learn something and get help and share your work.

Trajes de Gitana En Cordoba: Estilos, Formas Y Colores Segunda Parte
A tip from me, based on a mistake I made yesterday: don't `source ~/.bash_history` instead of `~/.bash_profile`.

(Luckily it entered vim relatively soon, from where I could kill the process).
I do feel the same. Back then i have published several blog of what i was learning, and interacting with visitor.
I also met one of the friend i made online, guess what all that is past...
Or May be i have become boring.
It's also amusing to portray the internet as being some small entity. It's basically infinite at this point and it supports a million different interests, way more than it did in the 90's. Back then the whole internet population was in the millions and it was mostly geeks. Now it's in the billions and it covers everyone. So there's a ton of normies, but if you don't like what they're going, there's still at least the same amount of geeks available, probably more.

As you said, you just have to go looking for the weird and interesting places :)

I sort of agree with you. I have a full-frame Canon system and that's what I go to when I want the most capability/versatility and I don't care about size or weight.

But my Fujifilm XE-3 is what I take with me the vast majority of the time if I'm not shooting action or long tele/very wide angle. And, yes, it's in part because it feels like a rangefinder in a lot of ways. (Never had a Leica but used a Kodak Retina for many years along with various other cameras like Olympus XAs.)

I keep seeing this statement but this absolutely does not apply to everybody.

How often can you just install fish or use other programming language instead of being forced to use bash?

It's sad people keep using the default just because of being afraid that the next system you touch might not have it and you waste tremendous amount of productivity without using something better.

I know a guy who used vim with default config for that reason. Utterly nonsense.

> Partially, this is based on a disconnect between engineering and hiring.

I have the feeling many see this as malicious by employers. But it's already hard to find good developers, employing them as recruiters is a waste of resources. You'll try to find recruiters who have some idea what to look for and then only include engineers in the last stage. Having every application for a senior dev scanned by other senior devs won't work.

As for the recruiter, they can only learn so much about the job because the company probably has 20+ roles to fill where they need to know the basics for all. They can't be expert in all domains.

Ask HN: Is Berlin (or Germany) a good place to start a startup in Europe?
it really depends, if the features are difficult to implement it may not be very quick at all, we see this with XMPP often where features take years to implement or never appear. If a homeserver targets a particular use-case then they may actively choose to ignore certain features that are not relevent. Really when people talk about the flaws of XMPP they often have in mind the problems of private e2e encrypted chat on mobile which is a hard problem to crack, but there's many more private servers inside organisations that don't even federate and work fine for how they are used. This flexibility perhaps makes it better to view XMPP as a toolkit for building networks out of, similar to how IRC networks which have a converged set of servers but outside that network all bets are off. The idea of viewing XMPP as a single network inevitably causes it to look fragmented but there are pockets within the network that interoperate just fine they just don't identify themselves as a group.
