Ask HN: Which product/startup do you believe deserves more press, and why?
Couple points I’ve seen that can knock older (and not wiser) devs -

* fixing the problems they had at their last company, inappropriately so to the point of over-engineering. Sometimes it’s not elegant, but hardened against the wrong things

* insistence on older technologies and patternss that they’re familiar with even if not concise
Just the way npm handled my bug reports made me decide never use npm cli again.

The registry is something everyone has to use because npm has a monopoly. It's not open source and is making money for a for profit company. I'm very disappointed to see Node.js is still shipping this anti-foss OSS with its executables :(
Holy shit, I didn’t realize this is how Venmo works.

I was just thinking last week that I should open an account for sending money to friends to settle small balances... but now I don’t want anything to do with the service.
I think it had more to do with minimizing the number of lane merges, which just so happen to correlate with long curves
With conflicting objectives, it might be worth providing multiple versions. A version optimized for "the students' bottleneck on their upcoming high-stakes exam is arithmetic, not physics". A version emphasizing units - without which numbers are nonsensical - and deemphasizing numbers, down to dimensional analysis. A version emphasizing the equation's parts, and story, to provide a qualitative feel for the phenomenon.

Back when everyone was on desktop, I liked using mouseover popups. VR/AR is going to be great fun. :)

There's a style of research talk, which I think of as a "Cal Tech style", merely because the speaker has been from there the few times I've seen this. It's putting up a colorized equation, and spending the entire talk walking through its expressions. If someone knows of a good example on youtube, it might be one way to see the many layers of narrative present in an equation.

I had an "F = m a" interactive like this "A feel for: torque"[1], but I don't think it ended up online. That's a step beyond scaffolding a qualitative understanding of the phenomenon - developing a rough quantitative feel for it. [1] http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/ZoomB?v=A&p=CK6Ji&m=torq...

FWIW, scientific practice is to have a space between number and units. If you'd like them close for pedagogy, perhaps \thinspace?

Hello, here the creator.

LOSTSTORIES.TV is an infinite playlist of unknown and obscure IMGXXXX YouTube videos.

The titles of these videos are random strings based on the default media file names of some popular devices, such as iPhone or Samsung Galaxy. Some examples of these titles would be IMG_8869.MOV, DSC 0711 or MVI 6710.

All the videos, requested in real time, are not more than one year old. They are almost undiscovered, usually with very few views (or not even one).

Any feedback is welcome. Thanks! :)

The initial Git for Windows 2.17.1 releases published on GitHub earlier today [0] apparently didn't include the patch. So just a heads up if you updated right after this was published: You probably want to make sure you have the fixed version (2.17.1.windows.2) [1]

Not sure why the erroneous releases haven't been removed? Seems a bit confusing.

That's basically how major journals got started, long ago. Most were essentially not-for-profit. But then, since the 70s, they've been acquired by large publishers. And those new owners have been monetizing those journals' prestige and market share. Given the inertia of the academic community, they've had a long run at that. But the end is coming, I think.

There's a lot of really weird edge cases like that. A lot of the times you sort of have to make a judgement call.

There are cases where you have to make a judgement call, one way or another. Take the case where I invite you to a weekly meeting at 2pm. You live in a place with DST, I don't. DST happens and... is the meeting at 2pm, or 3pm, or what? Google Calendar (and many others) basically say whoever owns the event wins, so our "regular" meeting time would track however you go through life (at least in terms of DST), so times might change for you but not me, and vice versa.

Anyway, yeah, there's some really odd interactions once you start digging deeper.

It's funny that most of these that I read start off with a very annoying, cliched "writer" tone.

I've always had the impression that authors just can't help buy try to prove how clever they are in the first paragraph at the expense of making the story compelling. It's like everyone has delusions that the book they're writing is going to be the next Moby Dick, so that beginning must be literary dammit.

Isn't that exactly what reader mode is for?
Most of the times I've had it are on iOS, and no amount of tapping or putting it in full screen mode where you can use the native video controls will make it load.

I wonder if they're trying to serve WebM or some other unsupported codec to iOS devices by accident, but I'd think that would have some kind of error indication instead of a black box.
Are you doing subscriptions? How did you find integration? Both of them seem to rely on webhooks and synchronising to your own database which feels like it could cause problems if a webhook fails during sign-up.

Excuse me... but as a millennial, and knowing many other millennials that also care, we do absolutely care.

I think the parent's concern is that there should at least be SOME way to audit everything. That doesn't necessarily mean that everyone ought to be doing it every time they clone a repo.
That people like something doesn't mean it's good for them, or even makes them happy: anything that some people really like and that is undoubtedly harmful can serve to prove that point. It doesn't put social media and heroin "in the same ballpark", it doesn't even say social media is harmful, it just says the fact that some people like it isn't saying a lot in itself. (I might add, especially not when it comes in the form of "you don't love it but people love it".)

That's not a very charitable interpretation of the GP. He's not criticizing hash tables because they aren't radix trees. He's criticizing this and other hash table implementations because they have undesirable performance characteristics with respect to his needs, and noting an alternative data structure which he has found to be more suitable. I think that's fair game.

Note that there exist hash table implementations which support incremental resizing.

I do agree, though, that it's a leap to go from "hash tables with this property are inappropriate under these constraints" to "hash tables with this property should not be considered further", precisely because there is such a broad spectrum of data structure requirements across the industry.
Having seen the sort of incorrect categories Facebook slotted me into via their data broker partnerships, I wouldn't expect that to be anywhere near 100% accuracy.
I keep it around $2000 to $3000, so it's not high for me. We go to the doctor about once or twice a year for random stuff, so it doesn't make financial sense to have a zero to low deductible.

I want to protect from the hospital bills from something major though, like a car wreck. I'm not sure that those $50 copay per doctor visit right from the start are even available anymore. That's the insurance I had when I was a youngster.
A candidate that lasts under 6 months is a very bad candidate that has cost the company money (for a technical position, that is).

It's in the interest of both the candidate and the company not to make such a match.

If it was only the resume-sorting part, it wouldn't be a problem, but it's also all the work spent training the candidate.
I think the major difference is that, if you're in this regime where you're getting diminishing returns on increased pay, for the employer it can be a lot more cost-effective to improve working conditions.

Trucking companies paying drivers 30-50K/year are probably not in this situation; software companies got there a long time ago for engineers.

It's emphatically NOT lightweight. It's basically just obese, rather then the morbidly-on-the-deathbed obese that is electron.

There are a lot of potential reasons to use something like this, but having a main selling point of it being "lightweight" is just flat out lying.

Who's idea was the medallion system, the city, the drivers, or both? Were taxi drivers in favor of the system when it first came out? Were they still in favor of it in the mid 2000's before Uber/Lyft?

If the answers to the last two questions are "yes", then I can't help but not have any sympathy for the plight of drivers and the expense of the medallions, especially when I read about taxi customers complaining about rude drivers, credit card machines "not working", having to wait over an hour for a taxi, etc.

The writing is on the wall. It's been on the wall for a couple years now. Taxis as we know it are a dying industry, being replaced by Uber/Lyft/etc.

And good riddance.
Another thing not mentioned in the post, although admittedly more obscure, is that a 2.17.1 client will still happily ferry the evil objects along in its default configuration. I.e. in this sort of setup:

unpatched hosting site ->
in house (patched) v2.17.1 --bare mirror ->
unpatched client

The transfer.fsckObjects setting needs to be explicitly turned on for the in-house mirror so that it doesn't collude in passing the bad objects along from the unpatched hosting site.

The protection in v2.17.1 only gets enabled by default if you're checking out a repository yourself, not if you're merely fetching and re-serving git objects[1].

Turning on receive.fsckObjects as the official v2.17.1 release notes suggest is not sufficient to protect against this attack. It needs to be transfer.fsckObjects, which also turns on fetch.fsckObjects, which is what's needed here.

> As your ending suggests, older developers tend to rock the boat more. As their bosses tell them to do something, the old timers see failures of history repeating themselves and try to steer the direction elsewhere. Younger devs fall in line much easier.

I've seen this in spades. One of my greatest frustrations as an older developer is seeing history about to repeat itself, yet being unable to convince management of that fact.

Because I need the paycheck I can't walk away from some work. But it makes me die a little every time I work on such projects.
A trip to the ER with your phone may mean injury lawyer ads for weeks
'Targeting your ad spend' is the thing under fire here, and under a very specific attack.

Before online advertising you kind of had an idea of what the target audience of TV channels, news, and radio was like, but it was very fuzzy and you certainly weren't excluding people not in your target demographic that happened to utilize those media platforms. Women reading male fitness magazines or men reading female lifestyle magazines weren't the primary target of ads in those platforms, but they could certainly utilize what was being advertised if they so desired. The same is not true of online advertising today.

Facebook is more in the position of a newsstand than anything else, and it would be blatant discrimination if a newsstand wasn't allowing older people to buy technology magazines, for example.

Yes, same here. I used Yelp during a US West Coast trip and always found good too great places to eat near any place we drove through. The highlight was finding an amazing, fresh Vietnamese on a concrete island in some random part of Fresno.

Their coverage is not uniform across different countries (Germany is not bad but still occasionally spotty) but it's a great filter of the crap restaurants.

I worked with @iarna over at npm to get a very similar bug fixed - https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20198. I'm pretty sure this is just a special case of that bug - if you're not on npm 6.1.0 it might be fixed there. Otherwise I'd encourage you to comment in on that PR / the attached issue with a flow to reproduce.

Lifelong Columbus resident here. The changes taking place are amazing. Columbus too has opted for density - multistory apartment buildings used to be somewhat rare in this city and now they've suddenly become the norm and are popping up everywhere, but especially near where people work so they opt to bicycle or walk so the impact to traffic has been negligible. We'll see how long that lasts, especially without much in the way of public transportation outside of countywide bus service.
Which is what the Windows Subsystem for Linux does.

If I recall correctly, Azure uses some combination of Windows Docker container and WSL support now to run Redis on Windows.

Though from what I heard (as scuttlebutt/rumor/lay person reading the tea leaves), that isn't why they abandoned the port (as native ports are still handy for performance, and encouraged by Microsoft as much as they can), I heard it had more to do with the usual OSS reason of abandoning a port: not enough upstream support/enthusiasm for merging necessary, underlying patches, and not enough time/energy to devote to keeping a fork up-to-date with a wildly diverging upstream in such a situation.

(Compare Git for Windows or Node for Windows, which have been officially recognized upstream, and directly merge a lot of patches upstream from Microsoft's contributions.)

I don't have a dog in the fight and think you (antirez) are doing a good job, and Microsoft independently are doing a good job with OSS the last few years, and while I'm disappointed there wasn't more Reese's Cup peanut-butter-and-chocolate collaboration here between y'all, I'm okay eating my peanut butter and chocolate separately. That's OSS, in all its bazaar beauty.
His ska-sort (a really fast in-place radix sort generalisable to almost all data) is also very interesting, I'm surprised there aren't more people working on the data structures he builds to make little improvements.

I may actually have figured out a way to (theoretically) make it faster, but I don't grok C++ templates so can't write a pull-request (the general idea is: instead of a standard full swap, use two temporaries and ping-pong between them while swapping elements to do half-swaps. This reduces required assignments to move an element to its final position from three to two).
Imgur has been using video files instead of GIFs for years already, they call it GIFV. Anything over 2MB is autoconverted to (IIRC) h264 encoded mp4 files. They just added the ability to include sound.
You're confusing time zone with UTC offset. The two are not the same concept. You can determine a UTC offset given a time zone ID and a date/time but the opposite is not necessarily true. A time zone ID cannot be reliably discovered given only its UTC offset; the mapping is not unique.

As someone who runs ads on Facebook and other platforms and has a lot of devs who respond, this isn’t true. Not only do devs not all block ads (and it’s kind of offensive to imply that only the good ones do), they even click on ads!
I'm not sure I've ever been to a hospital with anything non-hospital related within a 100 yard radius. And you can always adjust the center of your geotargeted area to make it more effective.

In an urban setting, sure, but most hospitals I've been to are MASSIVE, sprawling facilities.

Seems like the parking lot is close enough to being in the ER anyway.

Regardless, the 'waste' will be more from targeting health care workers, janitors, visitors, etc, but the targeting will still be more effective than not doing it at all.
i was just thinking the exact same thing, I'm glad that I'm not the only one. i really loved vine greatly, and I had been thinking about making a service to replace it, since I really liked the format. Though I think having a 30 second time limit like the imgur video would sort of lose something in the transition, as vines sort of have their impact and memorable nature from their shortness. however there are also often times where I wish a vine did have more time to develop and formulate a cohesive story so I could see longer times as perhaps useful in certain situations.
Why is it more interesting for the go packaging situation? As far as I'm aware, most packaging systems run scripts from inside the packages anyway. If you're running the packages' scripts, being vulnerable to this is a side-note. You have to trust the packagers anyway.

Former trial attorney here...Would really like to know the source of those claims. $20k would cover most civil litigation cases not involving serious injury or death. $100k would cover pretty much any civil or criminal action. Beyond that, you'd have to be employing some extremely expensive specialists.

And that assumes that the lawyer isn't handling the case on contingency.

Generally, the reason people overestimate the costs of trials is because standard contingency fees are 30%-40% of judgements.
I've been enjoying pnpm as my node package manager for about a year now.

<https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm>

It centrally downloads all of the modules and then "symlinks" them into your `node_modules` folder.

This is nice because one, it uses less disk space, two, if you've already downloaded a package at a particular version it links it out of the local repo.

Also uses shrinkwrap to handle package locking.
