"First of all, both books are very short"

Both tools are small and self-contained, because they date from an era when that was the style. Most programmers don't seem to want that any more. ("Those days are dead and gone and the eulogy was delivered by Perl.") They want "batteries included".

Does anyone believe that even Kernighan could write a short book covering C++17?

The most important first step, then, is picking a subject matter which it's possible to isolate. Everything has become so entangled, though, that I'm not sure how to do that any more.

Your point is that apache default config is horrendous regarding log keeping policy ? I agree.
I've found that brushing and flossing my teeth right after dinner to be very helpful. It makes me think twice before snacking because I don't want to have to re-brush and re-floss.

It also seems to improve the outcomes of my dental checkups.

Exactly why every language, from here until the end of time, should have a “go fmt” equivalent.
The question I was answering was why my company is collecting this data. We have email subscribers from the EU because...they subscribed to our email list. We don't advertise in the EU, we have no EU-specific languages or currency on any of our projects, etc. But EU users still want to subscribe to our content, visit our site, etc. So we're "collecting their info" because they voluntarily send it to us and we're not specifically trying to block them. Perhaps we should.

We're not compliant with the letter of the law of GDPR (and according to some it doesn't apply to us at all due to the above), but we treat all user data seriously, regardless of where they come from. If that's not good enough, then people can stop visiting / subscribing / purchasing, or the EU can try to levy a fine and collect it. I'm not particularly worried about either scenario.
Thanks for the Great takeaway points from The Obesity Code

> - Raised insulin is the key driver in weight by preventing the burning of fat and triggers the storage to fat. Insulin is the hormone that tells allows cells to absorb glucose

> - Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, which happens over years of prolonged periods of raised insulin without periods of lowered insulin. Carbohydrates and sugar convert to glucose, insulin resistance prevents it being used by cells, triggering the ask for more glucose by those cells to be available, by way of asking for more insulin. Raised insulin and glucose contribute to more fat being stored.

> - The western lifestyle is based around eating evenly throughout the day reducing our fasted state. This means our insulin levels don't have a chance to lower.

> - Fasting is a way to give your body a break from raised insulin, use up the glucose energy first, then switch to fat burning (Ketosis).

> - Sugars and carbohydrates do not trigger the hormone that says we're full when compared.
TLDR

"So the Answer is No

So, dear readers, all signs point to no: blowing in the cartridge did not help. My money is on the blowing thing being a pure placebo, offering the user just another chance at getting a good connection. The problems with Nintendo's connector system are well-documented, and most of them are mechanical -- they just wore out faster than expected.

Having said that, it's true that kids can be grubby, and getting crud into the cartridge or slot was a real problem -- I suspect that most of that crud was not just dust, though, and required a more thorough cleaning than a moist mouth-blast could provide. In fact, Nintendo released an official NES Cleaning Kit in 1989 in an attempt to keep both the slot and cartridges clean. Ultimately, Nintendo redesigned the NES console, releasing an NES 2 console in 1993 that's commonly known as the "top loader." Its main feature? A top loading slot. It was more like the original Famicom, using a slot that held up better to abuse. Similarly, the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) was a top loader."

Why does this not work without location access?
If I do provide location access, how do I use it?

I started up the site on my laptop, denied location access, and clicked around a bit. Nothing happened and I didn't receive any UI feedback.

Trying again, I started up the site, allowed location access, and clicked around a bit. Nothing happened and I didn't receive any UI feedback.

If measuring between arbitrary points on the globe is what this intends to allow, then that seems like a worthwhile utility. Needs a bit of work though I think.

Is there any altimeter access available through the browser? Would be neat to use this in 3D, could be done with a native app but I don't think in the browser.
I really want to use Black, but we have a particular style point that we’d miss so much that we haven’t adopted it yet...

Double quotes for strings that need to be human readable, single quotes otherwise.

This makes it so obvious when something is going to be sent to the user, we find it really useful. That said, I think Black’s appeal is it’s uncompromising nature, so I wouldn’t ask it to change. Adding the option to turn off quote formatting would probably go against its vision. Also, it could be argued that we should use the internationalisation functions to denote strings sent to the user, but hey we don’t do i18n yet.

For now, this, and one or two places that it fails to have an opinion (number of lines after imports) are keeping us from using it.
Any advanced system of philosophy should incorporate information theory.

If you are implying that Apple sued HTC for utility patents alone, you are definitely wrong there.

Further contrary to your claims, the originality wasn't what iOS was going for. One main reason Apple's patents never gained traction beyond their hometown is because of prior arts -- meaning most of Apple's designs/utility claims were "thrown out" on the ground that there were already invented or readily available in other phones. What iOS did differently was their different implementation and integration, but nothing beyond 'non-obviousness" to warrant a exclusive right. Further, this design case is precisely about rounded corners with a circular button in the middle.

HTC was still the king of smartphones in those day, albeit slowly dwindling market share, and but what stopped Apple's abuse was HTC's newly acquired LTE patents. Apple decided to settle only when ITC ALJ warned that Apple'd better have really convincing argument that those patents were invalid, or would have to face import ban.

Your revisionism isn't really that funny.
Why wouldn't PowerShell count? It's the standard scripting and command environment for modern versions of Windows.

As of Windows 10, Microsoft has even phased out cmd.exe from the menus and for shortcuts like Win+X. It's still possible to get the legacy environment back, but it's exactly that: a legacy environment.
Let's agree to disagree about GDPR.

Anyway, it boils down to enforceability. EU is a huge entity and probably will be able to enforce the GDPR by forcing payment systems and gatekeepers like Google and Apple that legally operate in the EU not to do business with businesses that do not respect GDPR. Maybe it will be a bargaining point in some trade talks between other countries and the EU and EU will insist that the countries will help with the enforcement of the GDPR in exchange for something that other countries want from the EU.

As long as we don't live in some kind of libertarian anarchy world order, these things will be determined by the politicians.
The concept is a bag of very different meanings.

Define "free will" as acting mostly based on internal reasons and we all have it. And this is the meaning of the word for the masses.

Define "free will" as a kind of supremacy of human will over physical determinism and nobody has it.
Factors like water supply make me think that the Sunbelt migration, whose targets, especially the southwest, were are among the most water-poor areas, is a trend that won't last beyond another 40 years. As these areas become built out, they will begin to experience factors that make them less appealing: rising property values, rising utility prices, and demographic pressures from natural deaths among the elderly and low incomes among new arrivals.

Areas that are unremarkable now because they've gone through a deindustrialization transition (upstate NY, northeast Ohio) will cycle back as sites of opportunity, and non-southern metros that have heretofore been able to maintain a liveable compromise between affordability and demand (represented by Chicago, but also Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis) will face an influx of out-migrants from the declining fortunes of the southwest.

Southeast metros that are targets of opportunity now (Atlanta, Dallas, Raleigh, Nashville, Charlotte, Orlando) will have cycled further along the affordability transition, so they won't draw nearly as much residents during the southwest's decline as they do now.

Generally pilot programs have a limited scope. Presumably, one of the business advantages of being allowed in the pilot is to establish awareness and a customer base before the market is completely open. Doesn’t seem like there’s much advantage to just sitting around during that time.
That is not in fact what I am using to classify gambling as negative-sum. It is also negative-sum in cash terms, but I'm speaking of value.

When I was in kindergarten (maybe first grade; not sure I remember which), I called Carnegie Mellon's main line and was redirected to their Robotics Institute where I asked when I could expect to buy a regular robot. I may have told them I'd have to grow up a bit and help them speed things along when the answer wasn't "soon." I also called Learjet around the same time. They even sent me a set of photos and a sales prospectus my parents still have. Though they were less than enthused when they realized I gave them our address and had to explain why a sale wasn't likely to the salesperson who followed up.

There's something truly inspiring to a lot of kids about what engineers can build. Inspiring to me as an adult, too.
The question is really whether those high salaries are achieving long-term payoffs. For certain things like image and audio processing, they've made some remarkable strides. However, many of those strides have to be remarkable to people outside the HN/AI community. For example, typing dog in Google photos and having it find pictures of your dog is great. However, when it misses a few and people notice that, they wonder why it's so bad. Almost as if Google should correctly identify 100% of them. Someone needs to sink the money into doing the grunt work of getting close to 100%, but the last few percent of improvement cost a lot of money. And to productize that to a user base of hundreds of millions of people is not cheap on the infrastructure, either.
Skydio R1 is actually on sale and has some seriously impressive tracking and sense-and-avoid functionality going on. FliteTest (a well known RC Youtube channel) has several videos where they test it with several interesting use cases, including high speeds, running between trees, going indoors and otherwise attempting to trick it, and it performs very well, not crashing once. If the next version is a little quieter and smoother on the video tracking, it'll be a serious competitor to manually-flown drones for various sports and "outdoor activity" types of videos.
That's not how jurisdiction normally works. A French citizen working within the US for a US company can't demand that they follow French employment regulations.
This matches my experience. I've found that when I'm unable to resist the compulsion to eat, I can at least save on the calories and be better satiated by eating something high-protein rather than the carbs I'm craving.

Not a perfect solution, but it beats the heck out of losing control and bingeing on carbs.

My understanding is what matters is if you are a EU citizen, not where you live. So they'd need to know you aren't an EU citizen.
That's a gross generalization. In fact, the parent explained quite well why GDPR can become a problem for smaller companies.

It's not the law itself that matters in this case but the clients' (quite possibly wrong) interpretation of that law. As of now, GDPR unfortunately leaves a lot of room for interpretation.
My anecdata agrees. My brother in law's first two kids were born 11 months apart so their developmental stages were pretty synced up, but their third definitely took a lot longer to start talking. His older brothers just spoke for him and understood what he wanted without him having to speak, so he didn't.
Thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated.

You need to use this application on a mobile phone. It uses the phones GPS to meassure area. It's a good point about the lack of UI information on the laptop. We should probably add some information to the user to make clear that it has to be used on a mobile device.

There has been a lot of progress in the questions that have been considered philosophical but as soon as they get answered they are no longer considered philosophy. So something like how did all the animals get here or how many primes are there become biology and maths. Some of the current questions philosophers ponder like what is the nature of consciousness or what is quantum weirdness about will likely go the same way eventually.

Ask HN: Are thousands of Bay Area workers going to die in a big earthquake?
Looking at liquefaction maps of the Bay Area, it really seems like we're in for a huge disaster at some indefinite point in the future. Many buildings are very old, made of brick, and seem unlikely to survive a big earthquake.

1. Why is it that we have people working in San Francisco in buildings that we know will likely collapse in a large earthquake?

2. How is this legal? How are companies able to ignore the obvious safety implications of having people work inside deathtraps?

3. Will the families of workers get paid when workers are inevitably buried under tons of rubble?

4. Is there something workers can do to force their companies to provide earthquake life insurance and/or move out of unsafe buildings?

If payment is optional then you are only likely to hand over money out of principle, or your own personal values.

I don’t think it’s as simple as finding the same news elsewhere for free though, or accepting this level of data collection, or subscribing to every site with micro transactions.

I would pay to use HN if the articles I clicked through to (or upvoted, or engaged with in the comments) got a piece of the pie. I’d pay a fair amount because I get a lot of value out of the aggregation and community HN offers. There’s no obvious allegiance to a particular perspective on life so one day I can enjoy a spiritual read and another I can learn about baking bread. I’m not only challenged, my curiosity is being piqued. It may be that HN works this way because there is no direct profit motive in HN itself except to point budding startups to Y Combinator.

I’m unlikely to pay an individual publication (say, The Guardian) because such publications have a specific editorial viewpoint, and more often than not it’s going to be the point of view that supports my own. My money is wasted on an echo chamber that makes me mad about the state of the world.

Neither am I likely to pay a publication that I persistently disagree with because our values are incompatible. I might read them if they have something profound to say but I’m not going to commit to them for that.

So maybe there’s something in a co-operative effort where the community collectively funds the content it engages with. But rather than it being an individual thing like with Patreon or individual subscriptions, it’s a pool you contribute to in order to participate further in the community.
It seems many people think content worth enjoying is somehow created and delivered freely.

which would you rather go clean up?
I know! Just imagine...your (likely dynamic) IP address exists in forgotten log files all over the web. The horror!

One of the most annoying things about the GDPR fandom is the black and white nature it seems to inevitably take. If your log files store IP addresses, you're clearly evil and shady and are violating human rights, just as bad as if you're recording people's conversations at home with the intent to deprive them of insurance or publish their sexual histories or whatever.

What possible "horrendous" harm is there from apache's default config storing IP addresses? Can you give me an actual harm that has befallen someone as a result of this that isn't some freak one-in-a-billion example?
> The posted article is about proposed regulations, not resources for enforcement.

Proposing and negotiating regulations and creating a pilot permitting regime costs money and, more expensively, attention. It is remarkable that, given the multitude of political failures currently going on in San Francisco, that this has been prioritized.
Mine was the opposite. I was impressed how early my second son started to make complete sentences.
>For the first six months of the pilot, a total of 1,250 scooters may be permitted. If the first six months are successful, the total number of scooters may increase to 2,500 in months seven through 12.

While I support the city's efforts to balance the downsides, mainly the sidewalk parking issue, with the upsides of cheap, clean, and accessible mobility, I think there are two wrongheaded decisions the city is making.

1. Why limit the number of operators? Is this an effort to create a medallion system or similar? That failed tremendously as it was administered under the old Cab system. It also risks preempting new developments, e.g. at some point the scooters will be able to drive themselves to you. You do not want to give incumbents a legal mechanism to block that competitive challenge.

2. Why limit the number of scooters? It is already difficult to find one of these for a ride to / home from work. Limiting the number just creates incentives for bad behavior by users. Ever seen someone 'guarding' an inactive scooter? I saw someone hiding one under his lunch table (it was 'available' in the app), presumably so that he could ride it home when done. Artificial scarcity is likely to create many more problems than it solves.

In both cases a better public policy proposal would be marginal taxes per unit on the scooters themselves with no cap on number. The community incurs an externality in allowing these operators to enjoy free on sidewalk parking, simply set a price to balance that and let commuters decide how many units should be around. Or to put it into econospeak: Pigovian taxes are better than quotas.
Altitude data is available in principle from the GPS (although the precission is worse for this). So it would be possible to implement support for altitude too if that is needed.

Do you have more information about what exactly you would like to achieve?
American entrepreneurs who are proponents of GDPR are experiencing some serious Stockholm Syndrome. Or possibly they're just faking their love for GDPR to virtue signal.

Toward Human-Scale Brain Computing Using 3D Waver Scale Integration [pdf]
I guess I should have phrased that as "even the most technologically illiterate users will come to recognize the superior user experience of a phone running stock Android after getting comfortable with it. This effect works regardless of their ability to understand exactly what the reason for the improved user experience is, it's just so immediately apparent they can't help but notice."

You're right in that gimmicks move phones in a retail environment. When a consumer will only give ~1 minute's worth of attention (at best) to each phone in the store, selective pressure rewards flashy gimmicks that leave the greatest immediate impression. The thing is, there is a huge portion of consumers who have moved to buying phones online based on research conducted entirely through online sources. The tech-savvy reviewers who these consumers are likely to come across are always vociferously supportive of any attempt to use stock/stockish Android. That bullet point always gets a favorable mention even if the total sum of the phone's features leads to a poor review. Build a following among those who make informed and objective decisions and eventually you'll get the attention of the retail/tech illiterate consumer.

That's how Samsung managed to become the king of the Android world, the Galaxy S was the first decent phone hardware-wise that could be flashed to stock or custom ROMs that fixed the issues with early versions of Android. The Galaxy S, S II, and Galaxy Nexus became the phones for the tech-savvy Android crowd and their objectively supported recommendations to less savvy friends and family created a sales tsunami that kept rolling long after Samsung abandoned the key feature (making flagship quality phones that were hacker friendly) that led to their success in the first place.
Maybe. That's entirely orthogonal to the question whether or not the person who's server it is, is affected by the GDPR though.
