I'm amazed at the hostility here these days :( It's very accommodating of you to offer to share additional metrics.

To be honest, my interest isn't intense enough to warrant my time for a screen share, much less yours. I will keep an eye on your blog, though.

ETA: I can't seem to find an RSS feed for your blog :(

ETA2: It's at https://standuply.com/blog/feed/, but don't see a link to it anywhere.
> I hope this "screw the OS, I'm rendering everything myself" strategy doesn't take off on account of that.

Dude, that battle was lost when Electron gained traction. I hate it with all my heart, but it's a sad reality.
We are not talking about self-applied labels, since parent explicitly says "are referred to as".

So I think it is a very valid point to wonder why some regions came to be referred to (in american english) as latin america, where others that would in principle fit the logical criteria didn't.

I agree it could be put in a more constructive way, but yourself assuming they are not familiar with a particular culture just because you don't like their comment is what actually comes across as rude and dismissive to me.
Don't get me wrong--I bought it, too. But I'm not disappointed in the author. I am disappointed in the userbase that wouldn't put up to make it viable. Like I said, this stuff is a two-way street.

(This is also why I, for a project I'm about to release, am doing an OSS/commercial split with higher-end features not part of the OSS version. But my software is designed for enterprise use, and they're used to paying for things.)
What matters is motivation. A person who is trained in sabotage, is used to doing it, and is being well-paid to do it is a lot more likely to so behave than a regular person who knows they will likely go to jail if they get caught. And there are lots of actors out there who have both the funds and motivation to hire such a person.
I've used debian and arch (on different machines of course) for years. I like that debian never breaks. On the other hand, I like the rolling release model of arch. :)

That's right, the GAU-8 is inadequate for killing modern MBTs, but is complete overkill for any other sort of armored vehicle. It might get lucky and disable a MBT with the autocannon (it may not get through the tanks armor but could still disable the tracks, optics, etc), but really for modern tank killing it would be using something like an AGM-65 Maverick (it can carry up to six.)
Oh, that wasn't a Tesla, just an ordinary car, driven by a person who was terrified of that many young black people in one place. Which rolls around to a point that I keep making, that humans are emotional, and their emotional states greatly affect their driving, to the point of deliberately doing things that will hurt or kill others. Road rage is a common problem.

I agree self driving is not the present, but I think it's the near future - 10-20 years.

And to be absolutely clear - I believe that full-on self-driving technology, with no human assist or failover in normal on-road cases, will be a better driver than me within the next decade. I've had my driver's license for 37 years, and I love driving. I've had two moving violations in my life (last one over a decade ago), haven't been in an accident in 17 years, and haven't been in an injury accident ever. I'm a really good driver. And I'm kind of neurotic about being in a car with other people driving - it makes me nervous, even when I know they're good too.

But I'm totally looking forward to the day I can trust my car to do the driving for me, knowing it's better than I am.
Somebody is going use a technology similar to this to defeat ad-blockers.
If you are comparing to Go then just regular Haskell has all the same capabilities and more (lightweight threads and communication primitives, plus extra cool stuff like software transactional memory). Cloud Haskell is trying to put it more in the Erlang camp where you can distribute beyond a single process transparently, but I don't think it is well maintained or really production ready.
> So it would seems this is only a concern if you had a secondary drive that was encrypted but a root volume (or some other volume mounted to `/var/folders`) that was unencrypted.

Not really. It's also a concern if:

* the encryption to your root volume is broken somehow (either through one of the APFS encryption bugs, you've been compelled to hand over the keys, etc.), or

* the secondary drive is not available or was destroyed,

* etc.
What it seems we are facing here is pure, unadulterated greed. They want to rake in billions and do the bare minimum. We, The Human Race, cannot continue to reward this behavior.

Good write up. For better or worse, I think most the issues you mention apply equally to React.
I think it's creating manufacturing jobs in China. If Trump had instead put a 25%tax on assembled electronics and not components then Apple et al would have an incentive to move manufacturing back to the US - and Adafruit and Sparkfun would not be effected

On the other hand I'm a small open source hardware manufacturer in New Zealand, I manufacture and ship from China - because I couldn't make a competitive product is I built or shipped stuff from here, I live at the end of the world's supply chain - NZ has almost no trade barriers, removed all govt subsidies propping up industry decades ago - we do have free-trade agreements with China - this new regime is good for me Trump's 25% trade barrier let's me compete better against American competitors, driving up their costs but not mine.

Remember you (in the US) have a higher standard of living than China - it's why your labour costs more - frankly you can't compete (and as their standard of living rises China can't compete with Vietnam .... we're already seeing that) - this is how 3rd world countries become 1st world ones, it's how China is building a middle class, which is a good thing, countries with large happy middle classes have a lot to lose and don't like to go to war.

Long term this process will tend to drag the US and China's standards of living to similar levels, if you can keep growth happening in the US at higher rates than China then you may see no change, if you stifle jobs you'll see it drop. Short term this is a problem, longer term looking at the bigger picture it's probably a good thing, a safer world
The obvious answer is to completely to the instructions the cpu uses internally. That would mean recompiling for every cpu revision though.
Certainly Apple is a wobbler (and Microsoft is questionable).

But Amazon is kicking ass as always, undermining industry after industry. They're still managed with the same tenacity. And dont count out Alphabet, Facebook, etc.

Whether or not we like these companies, they're a different animal from the norm.
So according to this it would be ok for them to not provide any customer service if they were breaking even or running at a loss?
Patents aren't a peer-reviewed academic journal. They're just a way to gain exclusive rights to an idea for a period of time, whether or not that idea pans out. If I am doing competition research, it's not to determine the feasibility of the patents, but rather if I will get sued if I attempt to build my idea. My incentive is not to validate their work, but rather my liability.
They sued him because he was critisizing Erdoğan.
Yeah... a lot of articles like this seem to equate poor security practices like "using an encrypted disk with a non-encrypted root" with major issues in the OS. I do agree that it's an issue that thumbnails stored should be wiped by default when the drive is disconnected unless the root is encrypted also but you're already open to compromise the second you access an encrypted disk from a system where the root isn't also encrypted. Having read access to an encrypted disk in any situation where you're not certain there's a secure chain is, by definition, insecure.
60 and 120 are worlds apart, especially in VR. I would be shocked if many people with healthy mind and vision couldn't see the difference after having the basic idea explained to them. In VR some people might even physically feel the difference.

Doubtless there is some refresh rate where it ceases to matter, but the point here is that we're still struggling to push an acceptable frame rate in VR (and 4k, and other high resolution "formats") without making significant sacrifices in other aspects of the video quality. Assuming that image quality and available processing power both continue to increase, it will continue to be important to include framerate in the balance, i.e. we want to draw enough but not be wasteful.

Rundeck, as others have indicated, will do just that.

I've used Tidal too, it's utterly horrible and universally hated by anyone I know who has used it. What took months to set up and debug in Tidal, took us hours in Rundeck.
Ask HN: How do you effectively communicate between a dev team and stakeholders?
Hi HN,

I've started working a job as the only developer. It's the most senior position I've had, and my employer has given me a lot of trust on how to run everything development wise. They are planning to hire more developers in a year and let me be a senior dev over them if I can perform well.

Communication has been very minimal. It's a mix of emails, phone calls, and Github issues. There is no documentation in place for the current system. When I go through a list of issues, many times there either doesn't appear to be enough information in the issue to resolve it. I will either need ask for more clarification or I need to dig through emails to find out what is being talked about.

Is there an effective workflow to start documenting all the issues, feature requests, and how the business works? I want my communication to be efficient so I can spend more time developing and less time trying to figure out how the business wants things done.
Oh totally, like for sure.

The iceberg that sunk the Itanic was the HP-Oracle-Intel deal.

HP was the only one who could sell them and Oracle put restrictions on how they could be used.

Wheb you have an ultra niche product that also happens to require a lot of ground work which is utterly incompatible with everything else on the market you aren’t likely to succeed.

If anything given the handicap that Itanium was playing with it can be considered an astonishing success.
I tend to agree, though I doubt there's anything specific to unicorn success levels about that. Even the smallest business I ever started, with positive but very modest results financially, felt like that. I think it's probably the sense of building something completely new and open-ended that attracts a lot of us in the first place, and that drive doesn't disappear just because you finished your MVP or shipped v1 or hit this or that financial milestone.
Killerway on Showcasing Your Idea in  PowerPoint  – 2018
I have a feeling where they were going with that was to push the internal data-flow representation to the CPU and have it figure out the register allocation, instruction selection and scheduling etc. right before execution.

You know who. You KNOW WHO.

> I mean who's interest does it serve? Who had the idea.

Guess who had the idea.

> Because afaik movie and music creators are already winning the piracy war right?

Urm. Nice guess, actually. And guess again: you might be a bit off there, because this is about "publishers" wanting to monetize "summaries" when you're "linking" their content.

The laughable part of this ridiculously huge pile of BS is that your Dori - "Just keep swimming" meme or your Marvel'ous "I get that reference" meme is precisely what they're after. - Because somebody ... just keeps suing, just keeps suing.

I'm thinking about getting a dog. It's suppose to be great for validation and against loneliness, and also, taking care of a dog seems really compatible with the spiritual path - a caring, compassionate relationship - but a silent one.
LastPass seems to have a decent system (thankfully I haven't needed to test it yet):

1) I set an "emergency heir" contact

2) They can request access at any time

3) I'm sent an email notifying me of the request

4) If I don't deny the request in X amount of time (custom, I think), they are granted complete access to my account

Granted there's a potential for abuse; but that's somewhat mitigated by only allowing 1-2 people to make the request and if someone already has access to my email they can cause all sorts of other trouble without having me declared digitally dead. It shouldn't be hard for Facebook to implement something similar.
In America, Naturalized Citizens No Longer Have an Assumption of Permanence
The classic way of leveraging private investment in some kind of capacity-carrying infrastructure for public good is to rule it a common carrier [1]. All of this 'Title II'/'net neutrality' spat of the last few years is about how one regulator, the FCC, interprets various laws (including the Telecommunications Act of 1934 and the Telecommunications act of 1996) about where ISPs fall [2], court cases and ruling that have been brought in its wake [3], the FCC's change in approach in response to those court cases [4], and a bunch of complicating factors about whether the FCC or the FTC is the appropriate regulatory body that decides the exact regulatory regime. So, without further lawmaking, that ship has sailed.

So if we can't adopt some rule that would treat privately-owned cables, let's say on the last mile, as common carriers, what are some other options? Deny further vertical mergers affecting telecom infrastructure? This doesn't solve the current entrenchment. Let localities take the issue into their own hands and build out publicly-owned networks that would support open access for providers running on top? This is a sensible idea, that's currently difficult to pursue in almost half of the states [5], and most legislative efforts to make this difficult have come from Republican lawmakers [6][7], despite citizens of all political leanings in favor of localities being allowed to do this [8][9].

I watched your video and you made some great points.

As an aside, I have to wonder if you've thought through your desire to serve your website over HTTP instead of over HTTPS.

You noted that you use ad blocking software because ad networks are a common route by which malware propagates. HTTP websites comprise another salient target for malware. If I am at a coffee shop with a compromised wifi router and I load your HTTP website, that compromised router can inject malware into your page and my browser will run it, just like it would have run malware served by an ad server. If your website were served over HTTPS, the router wouldn't have been able to do that.

I imagine you knew all of that, and you're right that HTTPS does have some problems, but trying to avoid those problems by opting for HTTP is exchanging those problems for (imho) much bigger problems.

Who maintains the source of truth for this record of agreement? If it is one entity, that's the unaccountable middleman. Blockchain is not right for every environment, but there are industries where the middlemen are taking more than the equivalent of every party maintaining a blockchain team.

Indeed, and it would be interesting to see how the most recent Itanium would perform if it would be ported to the current 14nm process instead of 32nm. While it once was considered to be a monster chip in transistor count , it no longer is.

I think the real problem is that Microsoft worked so hard to obscure the relationship between the two via the branding and naming. It feels slimy and damages trust.

I'm a career JavaScript developer and I didn't know there was a separate, "truly open source" version.

There's also https://qmlweb.github.io/, which renders QML into a DOM tree. Which will probably never be a full-featured an implementation as QML as one painting onto canvas, but is a lot more web-native.
Qt has the option to use an internal font renderer (FreeType, Harfbuzz, or ?), or rely on the host system for one.

Unless Webassembly provides a common type rendering system or links to the Browser's host renderer, I'm not sure this can be fixed.

All the most used dapps are games and distributed exchanges for coins. Distributed exchanges do not justify the existence of these coins (which are meant to power distributed apps not just be tokens for speculation). The games don't need to be dapps they are just novelties.

Find me a dapp that isn't one of those two things with appreciable usage and I'll be impressed.
One thing that has changed: we routinely see hardware outliving software these days (e.g. Android phones that would still be perfectly adequate if software updates were available), this was hardly imaginable in the days of the "Itanic". Back then new hardware was typically bought to run old software faster.

Also, jit runtimes, once you have a hardware specific build of your browser (or of your server stack) you are 90% there.

One must love the selection bias of all those articles about startups.

If you were the head of a 9B$ "startup", would you really say you "made it" ?. No , you would probably do like Patrick and John and say it is "so hard everyday", and we never "made it" to better subscribe to the startup narrative.

In summary, there is no content in this article as it is usually the case whenever successful founders are interviewed.
Because most people on HN have never read this, here is article 13:

Article 13

Use of protected content by information society service providers storing and giving access to large amounts of works and other subject-matter uploaded by their users

1.Information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users shall, in cooperation with rightholders, take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightholders for the use of their works or other subject-matter or to prevent the availability on their services of works or other subject-matter identified by rightholders through the cooperation with the service providers. Those measures, such as the use of effective content recognition technologies, shall be appropriate and proportionate. The service providers shall provide rightholders with adequate information on the functioning and the deployment of the measures, as well as, when relevant, adequate reporting on the recognition and use of the works and other subject-matter.

2.Member States shall ensure that the service providers referred to in paragraph 1 put in place complaints and redress mechanisms that are available to users in case of disputes over the application of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

3.Member States shall facilitate, where appropriate, the cooperation between the information society service providers and rightholders through stakeholder dialogues to define best practices, such as appropriate and proportionate content recognition technologies, taking into account, among others, the nature of the services, the availability of the technologies and their effectiveness in light of technological developments.

YouPHPtube could be a nice option for the Blender Foundation if they don't mind paying for their bandwidth usage. It is pretty easy to install (the hard way). I'm going to make a docker container for it and the encoder sometime. One advantage is that it can use amazon s3 storage and there are instructions for setting up live streaming. AFAIK, peer tube doesn't have a live stream capability (though I realize that the blender foundation may never use such a feature).
