> Concerns focus on a provision that would let publishers claim royalties for the use of snippets of information, such as tables or headlines. This was included with the aim of enabling news publishers to secure revenue from social-media platforms such as Facebook and Google. But a proposal added by a European Parliament committee would mean that the provision also applies to academic publications.

The EU repeatedly shoots itself in the foot with badly-written laws—aimed at Facebook and Google—landing on itself. Revenue thresholds, for GDPR or this, only above which these requirements activate, are a simple fix. No idea why the European bureaucracy repeatedly opposes such thresholds.
Hey man! I hope you know we are there for you, and some of us haven’t been in your shoes but strongly sympathize. Reach out to rkrzyzanowski at gmail if you ever need a chat.

Sounds like things were very rough but you’re in a much better spot than last year. If I’m right, happy to hear. :) otherwise please reach out!
Iiish. For small projects or when you want to get development versions etc that are not in a distro's repos it's pretty common to have to do a make-configure.

Then again, with Python in particular, I have often had errors either with pip-install, or after "successful" installation, for various reasons.
I disagree. I think GDPR is mostly a good law. This copyright law is mostly a terrible law, just like most new copyright laws, including those from the U.S.

For instance, in the U.S. right now, they are working to make copyright terms 144 years and they also want to eliminate the DMCA protections, also making platforms liable for user content.

So I wouldn't say this is a "EU-issue" alone. These copyright laws are getting pushed by the same type of companies everywhere (or even the exact same companies: Disney).

Agreed but if you see the picture comparison between the earthrise photos (good/degraded) you see two things: there's a "scan pattern" where different vertical lines have different brightness/gains. Also highlights and dark areas are more contrasted than the good version.

They might have added some filtering to the signal, but from the photo, that's not the most important artifact that was added.
Things that worked for me:

- Run. Blood circulation and fresh air can do wonders. These days I bike to work than run. But the idea is the same. Start your day with cardio and fresh oxygen.

- Watch your diet. Sleep a bit hungry. Eat foods that exit your system within 24 hours.

- Abstain from sex (including DIV) for 10 days, and see how you feel on the 11th. After which find your formula, similar to intermittent fasting but with sex.

- Meditation and Yoga. I practice Hatha Yoga as taught here (http://www.ishayoga.org/). This is ridiculously powerful if practiced with intensity.

> even if the effects hit smaller publishers more than the large ones, as long as it causes enough damage to the whole business model and incentivizes people to look for alternatives, it's a step in the right direction

Remember the adage “divide and conquer”? If you want to destroy something, consolidating its power base (like GDPR does to advertising in Europe) is a poor first move.
After more than two decades in the industry, you start getting cynical towards these kind of "programming for non-programmers" tools. All of them are trying to abstract away the complex parts of the programming problem. Guess what, it doesn't matter how many layers of abstraction you pile up, you never abstract away the need for consistent logic. You end up requiring the same kind of people that have the brain skills to actually program.

Good advice, I picked up some good phraseology for parts of it from the military:

Your "1 up" and "2 up" (i.e your manager, and their manager) - what is your manager working towards, what is the context in which they are operating. Understanding that can play a large part in helping to exercise the good judgement, especially things to potentially flag up early.

Appreciate they're context switching more frequently, launching straight into a complex issue you haven't discussed for a few days is going to cause a massive page fault. Give their brain a chance to get into gear, a quick refresher or catchup can help. Quick being 60 seconds.

What I meant was that it wasn't some super exotic photographic film, printed on an unobtanium base.

It was standard acetate film with a gelatin emulsion.

Aside from the special Ektachrome, they also took black and white film magazines with them. The colour slide magazines held 160 exposures and the black and white magazines held 200 exposures.

I believe the reason they used slide film was that the quality of colour negative film wasn't so good back in the 60's. A lot of the shots they took on the moon were bracketed for exposure, so they took 3 images of the same subject, but with different exposures.

Yes, I think the works of 60s/70s author John Brunner ("Stand on Zanzibar", "The Shockwave Rider") anticipated many cyberpunk ideas even before the Gibson/Sterling era. Key to this idea was a recognition that that the "third world" was going to matter more and more in the post-colonial world.
>> Granted we are still far from AGI even with these new advances, but given the progress of the field in the last few years as resources pour in, we cannot say for certain that AGI won’t be reached in our lifetime.

The progress of the field in the last few years is limited to improvements in performance on specific benchmarks all of which pertain to classification specifically and only in a few domains- speech recognition, image recognition and lately game-playing (the function of the deep nets in the AlphaGo family is still essentially discrimination of good vs bad moves, rather than, say, complex reasoning).

So, unless classificiation -in fact, classification in speech and image recognition and game-playing- is sufficient for the development of AGI, yes, we can say with pretty good certainty that there is no clear path from the current state of affairs to AGI and therefore, no good reason to assume AGI will be achieved within our lifetimes.

Of course, we can't ever say anything with absolute certainty. Perhaps we live in a simulated universe and the Simulators will switch it all off tomorrow. Perhaps aliens will make first contact and hand us all the tech we're missing - or exterminate us all. Perhaps dread Cthulhu will rise from his sleep at R'lyeh Ia! Ia! etc.

But- reasonable predictions can only be made based on what we know so far. The rest is only wild speculation that doesn't really serve anything, except of course to satisfy one's imagination.

I didn’t downvote you, but I understand why others may have. You claim the EU isn’t a democracy and then mention reaching out to your MEP. Additionally, calling out those who disagree with you as “ignorant as usual” may be seen by some, myself included, as a premature conclusion.

Once again. Nim is superior to D in terms of interoperability with C, C++, and Objective C because Nim can compile to either of those languages. For C++ interoperability this is a huge benefit.

I'd love to hear why you disagree if you do disagree. Otherwise please give Nim a try and stop spreading this as a disadvantage of Nim.
Open Letter to a Software Intern
This is not my personal experience.

Lemmings are fearless creatures that will scream to any animal, including humans, that cross their path.

I have seen a Lemmings confronting a crow. The crow sends the lemmings flying on three different occasions until it took the lemming dead body and left flying. The lemmings never tried to run or hide, it just was screaming at the crow until its very last moments.

So I can see that "mass suicide" is a myth. But it has some true on it looking at the lemmings' behaviour.

Forgot to say thank you for this. I had a look at this yesterday and I love it. So clean. - pass on my thanks to your dev friends.
I'm taking it as OP saying as ideas are a dime a dozen, so are people's opinions. Put them in place (meaning, get some from people, or cut them out of your life, if their bad) so you can get feedback.

This is double edged. I left my wife about 3 months ago now - I was really, really, not happy and I finally had enough after 8 years. Everyone had an opinion. People I thought were very good friends turned on me, gave me shit for leaving (friends of mine; not friends of ours) and others were very supportive (mostly family). Sometimes to many opinions are a bad thing; but to few can be bad also though.

Take the opinions you can get; run a filter or 2 on them and go with your heart.

(I don't talk to the people that gave me shit for doing it anymore; and I'm much more happier now, both without the wife in my life, and without those friends in my life)
Ask HN: Are there still developpers using non-Apple laptops, and why?
I code exclusivly on a Linux laptop and it feels like I am one of the few remaining ones.

I see far less developers using a PC nowadays ; all my developers friends are now using a mac, even the ones who were laughing about Apple's computers 10 years ago.

It seems to me that diversity is important, that you should not have one company providing the same hardware for every developers (same reason I stick to Firefox: I think Chrome should not be the only browser for web development), eventhough I sometime envy iDevices' big batteries or slick designs.

So I would love to hear your opinion on this, I am the only one worrying about every developers using a mac? Should I really worry about it? Am I the only one sticking with a PC, just by philosophy?
We've ether passed, our will pass in the near future several points of no return with regards to our dependence on technology. There's a good chance that this will be to our detriment. Here's a talk I have about the topic recently with more details: https://youtu.be/q5x7njMMugw
I feel my sibling comments (I paid $x y years ago, get off my lawn) are missing your point. If you're looking to fill a whole datacenter with Optane the price compared to current storage tech is eye watering. This technology is aimed at servers with a high IO load and a lot of RAM caching, not home users.

Of course, as with previous SSD tech, the price will come down fairly rapidly.
What do you mean by "git support"? Surely you could just store the markdown sources in whatever repo if you need to, and skip that part if you don't. There is no reason to put that feature/requirement in the blog tool, as with any other static site generators.

I think there might be a point where recommendation algorithms kind of 'overfit'/become a filter bubble. I remember reading a article about the youtube recommendation algorithm led to increasingly more radical videos until you end up on 'that weird side' of youtube (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/10/opinion/sunday/youtube-po...). Depends entirely on what metric you are trying to opimize, I guess. With youtube is probably something like "time spent on the site".

Einstein's problem was that he used "religion" in a very different sense than what is understood by the term.

If you're a web developer you need to use all the browsers. If you're developing for Chrome (or Firefox, or Edge, etc) then you aren't developing for the web; you're developing for a particular browser, and that's not web dev.
The author doesn't really get cyberpunk hence the confusion. Cyberpunk is an aesthetic, yes, but it is no mere aesthetic a la Romanticism or abstract art. Cyberpunk is an aesthetic that asserts that it is real. It's what troublesome about Cyberpunk; unlike goofy classical sci-fi which deliberately juxtaposes a fictional future with our present Cyberpunk insists that it actually is the future. Further, the Cyberpunk aesthetic itself advocates nothing more than the triumph of the virtual/digital/illusory world over the real world. This is the postmodern demon: an illusion that insists illusions are more real than the real world. This is the dreaded hyperreality [1].

The interesting thing about the hyperreal is that the best Cyberpunk art captures so well well is that there's no escape. There's no "going back" to the real world. It is a perfect philosophical trap: all attempts to separate "fake news" from "real news" will accomplish nothing but to further undermine any notion of "real news", all attempts to separate "fake humans" and "real humans" will lead only to the creation of better, more sophisticated, more real "fake humans." Nobody can build a "reality detector" and no victory is possible against the AIs and the other Super Simulators. The horrifying truth is that organizations which embrace this and pour real resources into producing fake news and fake humans have such an enormous economic advantage and that their victory is all but assured.

Show HN: Haps – Configless Dependency Injection for Python
- Many well known people in tech are charlatans.

- There is no integrity in keeping silent when witnessing wrongdoing, even when speaking out may harm your current business prospects.

- Most "interesting" ideas in tech currently simply aren't.

- "Software Craftsmanship" is a scam.

- Programmers are far less logical than they would themselves believe.

- Non-tech project managers in tech teams are beyond useless; they're often plainly harmful to the business.

This is not an exhaustive list, and I didn't learn all these things in the past 12 months. Some have just been beaten into me more over the past year.
5 Proven Ways to Increase Average Order Values in Fashion ECommerce
After over a year, I came to the moment when I'd like to show my library to other people.

Haps is a small python IoC library, that lets you handle Dependency Injection easily, without any XML/JSON/you-name-it configuration. Everything is done in the code of your application. And there are no external dependencies.

My motivation to start creating this lib was lack of such tools for Python. Of course, there are some projects like spring-python, but they seem to be forgotten. I needed something fast, small and easy to use. Sugar, spice, and everything nice, accidentally mixed up with Python Annotations and that's how Haps was born.

Now it's heavily used in a couple of commercial projects that my colleagues or I work on, and also some private apps.

I'd be happy to see what do you guys think about this.

Don't forget to enjoy life. Travel, go to restaurants, go to museums, go see music live in concert, go to festivals, hang out with friends, get drunk (if that's your thing), forget about your worries for just an hour, a day, a week, to clear your mind and get a fresh perspective. Throw off the shackles of modern civilized life once in a while. "Forget" your smartphone, you can live without constant social media updates and news articles. It's perfectly OK to be bored, don't be afraid to be alone with your own thoughts for a while. Daydreaming is healthy.

Everything is all fucked in the end, anyway. Might as well remember to live life while you still can.
India's government's AI strategy paper [pdf]
OP isn't perfectly unambiguous on the subject, but it's an industry conference, and since asking the manager is a thing, I think it's fair to assume that it's a work conference and that the manager actually has a legitimate say in this - participants in industry conferences are typically identified as representing their company.
I actually spent the better part of 2 years homeless and/or living in a car etc. I made heavy use a local college campus lab computers by copying student ids off sign in sheets which were used for login. Also used a lot of discarded free meal coupons given to new students.

Took random contract gigs from IRC, elance style sites, and Craigslist. Also did telemarketing, and random day labor jobs off and on. Eventually a startup gave me free room and board in exchange for programming help. Saved and relocated to an area with more jobs after that startup imploded.

Found an abandoned trailer some property owners agreed to let me squat in. Got to tap their electric line in exchange for helping out with deliveries and tech work for their tractor store. Kept up with random craigslist tech gigs etc and started my own consulting company bootstrapped with retail work income and help from friends from IRC for bigger jobs. One of the random contracts I took let me code with free reign and ended up keeping me on as a full time software engineer and gave me several years of experience making custom prototypes and doing pentesting for fortune 500 companies as well as angel funding for a startup of my own.

Never had a problem getting work since.

Be relentless and don't limit yourself to tech work until you have some buffer in the bank. Be willing to relocate if the market is dry in your area. Never ever stop learning marketable skills and taking interviews you are not qualified for until you are. Most of the "mandatory" minimums on job postings are optional if you have some quality open source code to prove your capability.

That's an excellent point. I definitely prefer working in small companies, then you're closer to people's crappy ideas. But still you never get the full benefit as you never take the full risk.

> Don't ask people what they think about your idea. They'll either be supportive or mean to you. None of these are about your idea.

There was a talk about this recently on HN [0]. Asking for feedback about your product/idea is useless because people also lie. The only way is to ask them about their problems around the area you are looking into, or else get users in to test your product and video them.
