If the UK wants a simple trade agreement then it can have it. But that's not what the UK wants. The UK wants an open Irish border, an open border between Northern Ireland and the main island, but without submitting to EU regulations on goods. That's impossible.

Single market without freedom of movement is possible, but the thing about the EU is that different countries disagree about what the good parts and the bad parts are. Austria, if acting alone, might be willing to agree to single market without freedom of movement, but Poland is not going accept that. And so on. If you compromise with everyone, well, congratulations, you've joined the EU.
I really like the idea of a non-intrusive analytics system that just shows you useful aggregate traffic data while maintaining the privacy of your site's visitors.

I experimented with using GoAccess (https://goaccess.io) on CloudFront logs instead of using Google Analytics. It gave me a lot of what I needed, without the overhead or intrusiveness of client-side code—and it provided a more complete view of my traffic because it isn't stymied by browser plugins that block tracking.

The downside was having to save the logs, periodically run it to generate reports, etc. It's not a lot of work, but it's more work than GA. I think CDN providers should just include managed analytics tools of this caliber as either part of the package or for a modest extra fee.
It is a big claim.

It's probably the biggest, most important claim of the millennium. And it is really, really good for hundreds of millions (maybe billions).

These two are pretty good start points. [1] [2]

In short, globalization converted hundreds of millions of would-be Chinese farmers into middle class urbanites in about one generation.

It is the most massive improvement of quality of life in world history. It is staggering to consider how much life has improved for so many people in such a short amount of time.

This is basically step one of "how do we save the world". First get everyone to a baseline standard of living, then instill ideas of sustainability and environmentalism, then try to boost everyone to a more than bearable standard of living sustainably.

Last time I checked, about half of the windows market is running Windows 7 which doesn't support UWP. So UWP is a dead end for anyone who needs broad compatibility.
A ridiculous amount of people, institutions, resources. There's just no media drama. The effort is there, although not large enough imo.
What a sad article. I'm not sure if the author is more concerned with capitalism or technology. He may not understand the difference. Somewhere in this rant I see he complains about hearing aids. Really?

He seems to have a personal problem with balance. I like to look at my phone and browse the internet, but I also enjoy walks in the park. I make time for both. What horror, such a dystopia!

Nature is doing very well in capitalistic, technologically advanced societies that make protecting it a priority. Appreciation of nature is entirely compatible with capitalism and tech. Maybe during the hours of solitude he will find in his log cabin he will find some time to ruminate on this.

>"My culture made a Faustian pact, on my behalf, with those devilish tyrants Speed, Numbers, Homogeneity, Efficiency and Schedules, and now I’m telling the devil I want my soul back."

Ah yes, your precious soul has been so cruelly manhandled by civilization. It would be so much better served toiling in the mud and hunting for prey, suffering in the cold and burning in the hear of summer! Draught? Disease? Well, tis the will of benevolent nature for whom nothing is sacred, at least it's not evil capitalism and technology!

How dare we rise above our animal destinies to create and explore, to stand on the moon and understand the nature of the universe that birthed us yet is wholly indifferent to our existence. How dare we develop cures for disease and new methods of communication and transportation? How dare we engage in the billions-strong dance of production that is the modern economy?

We have as much claim to being part of nature as a tree does! And just like trees, or algae, or bacteria, we and our creations are beautiful. Maybe one day this author will come to appreciate the inherent goodness of human civilization.

I did it once about 12-13 years ago when I was younger and had a few fabulous visions that changed not my life but who I am. After all this time I am still drawing from that one experience and wouldn't need to do it again for a long time or ever.. If somebody had told me that psychedelics would have change me fundamentally I probably wouldn't have wanted to preserve who I was at the time and would have kept it at an arm's length. On the other hand my wife is a very down to earth person and quite conservative by my standards and when told about my experience with psychedelics, she is not interested in the subject. I think some people are more open new experiences than others and that's that.

I am pretty sure people play Nintendo games in spite of their hardware choices. The Wii was several generations behind the state of the art, but still sold fine because it was the only way to play Wii games. The Switch is the world's worst mobile device... but the exclusive games are so good that people tolerate it.

Their games would be a lot more enjoyable if they could be played with mouse and keyboard on a 240Hz display.

If you want to replicate Nintendo's success, you need to make really good games. The hardware doesn't matter.
This is similar to what I did: https://learn.adafruit.com/proper-step-debugging-atsamd21-ar... . That is for that specific platform, not sure if there is something similar for the other versions.

I used the J-Link but I wanted to do it on Linux, so I used the JLink GDB Server along with the GDB build that comes with the Arduino IDE. It probably takes me a good 5 minutes to get everything set up, but the basic stuff works: breakpoints, stack trace, reading and writing memory locations.

The setup is a little convoluted, I'm not sure if there is a better way, but here are my notes:

Procedure for running w/ debugger attached.

1. disconnect debugger's usb
2. connect device via usb
3. arduino IDE program device
4. identify elf, set up gdb with elf.
5. plug in debugger
6. run jlink gdb server
7. attach gdb to jlink server "target remote:2331"
8. "monitor reset", "continue" to re-run target from beginning.
9. observe device is recognized by Arduino IDE
10. open Arduino IDE serial monitor to interact with device.

Now, Ctrl+C in GDB halts device, and stack etc. can be inspected, and
then it can continue running with "cont".

To rerun the device with the same program without redoing everything,
go to step 8 and reset the device. and continue from there.

To find .elf on linux:
==================================================
find /tmp -name sketch_name.ino.elf 2>/dev/null

gdb location:
==================================================
/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/arm-none-eabi-gcc/4.8.3-2014q1/bin/arm-none-eabi-gdb

JLink setup command:
==================================================
JLinkGDBServer -device ATSAMD21G18A -if SWD -speed 4000

gdb attachment:
==================================================
(gdb) target remote:2331
The person installing your application may not know anything about Java. They don't want a 35 page installation document.

With a container, they just plug in your application and it runs. They don't know and don't care what technology it was developed with.

You have complete control of your dependencies, which exact Java runtime you use, any other native libraries or tools you use, etc. They are all part of your container and independent of the host system. You can't see the host system, and the host system doesn't care what is in your container.

The container is like a giant simple JAR file for any technology that runs on a Linux system.

Once you know how to install and run a container, you can run apps developed in unfamiliar technologies. You don't have to know about their conventions for paths, or classpaths, or other things you don't care about. That is all packaged up inside the container.

UWP apps are not as limited as people seem to think they are. They require a different programming model, but are capable of just about everything you'd want to do with a non-UWP app.

Fluent Design is even pushing out a lot of "Enterprise" controls lately to bridge the gap in making sure that apps that want things like Fluent ribbons, traditional menu bars (why?) and dense scrolling datagrids (ugh, sigh, we will never be rid of the business pox of spreadsheets) have official options now (and at least some ability to fit in beside other Fluent Design controls).

Beyond that, traditional Win32 applications are allowed in the Store now (have been for some time), so S Mode isn't even limited to UWP anymore. Applications like iTunes are already in the Store, with better, more reliable install/update/uninstall now.

at list this won't be as damaging as introducing an overly complicated programming language or something.

As a 15 year veteran of the Java salt mines, this made me chuckle.

The publication of the J2EE 1.0 spec left me feeling queasy. If I had known instead of just suspected what this meant for the next ten years Rube Goldberg would rule Java, I might have made different choices.

I don’t think it’s an accident that the two projects I’m proudest of were an embedded and a mobile Java app.

What is wrong with writing a raw SQL for such a simple thing? I never want to fight with a tool for achieving such a simple query. Tools are supposed to help and when queries tend to get complicated, I think that's when ORM starts to fail with performance. So, I don't find a room for it. I'd rather learn how SQL works instead of how to get random ORM of the time to work like it should.
I'll check it for sure. Thanks!

What percent of the cost is spent on EC2 instances? Curious how much that can be reduced by using something more "lightweight" like Elixir or even Node. Basically, not needing to spin up thousands of OS processes. (Discourse uses Ruby.)
This is clickbait journalism at its worst. Let's look at the all the ways this story is designed to mislead and deceive:

* Provocative headline, designed to attract attention

* Use of the word "Exclusive" to imply that this is important information

* Says acquisitions talks *are* underway, despite having little or no evidence of that

* Reliance on anonymous second or third-hand sources - the only evidence for "acquisition" is something that an employee overheard the CEO say

* Update, placed at the end of the story, that disconfirms the story

* Placement on aggregator sites like Reddit and Hacker News in order to drive pageviews

I rarely say this about stories on the frontpage, but in my opinion, this story should be flagged and deleted. There's no content here, and driving traffic to bgr rewards them for putting out this kind of fake news. This story reads like someone took Ryan Holiday's book, Trust Me I'm Lying and treated it as a field manual rather than a set of warnings.
> Punks, at least, most certainly do listen to cassettes.

In my years playing punk / indie music (which only ended last year) I did find a few people who said they listened to the tapes. Most people told me they didn't have a tape player, and just bought the tapes for display. But there was maybe one or two people, the hardcore types, who found an old tape deck in a thrift shop, or had a used car with a tape deck.

Even in those cases, I don't think tapes were for every day listening. I would see the same people playing music on their phone or what not. Tapes were for special occasions.

> Punk music sounds good on cassette.

I agree. So for certain projects, I used to record my music onto a tape, and then feed it back into the computer before I uploaded it. I don't know why more people don't do this.

I don't know if it's just one company attacking another. The sources in the HN thread do paint a specific picture, one that Proto has only hand-waved away as either "muck raking" or "a mistake".

I wrote something like this last year https://www.ryanmercer.com/ryansthoughts/2017/2/13/i-miss-th...

I miss the face to face interactions, I miss community, I miss boredom and a considerably simpler life. At the same time though I love that I have friends all over the world, many of which I've never met, but know just as well as local friends. I love that I can go on YouTube and see all sorts of amazing and interesting things. I love that I can share and discuss ideas with strangers on BBS/forums/sites like HN and Reddit. I love that an an adapter from Automatic tells my phone data from my car that then gets pushed to various places via IFTTT so that I can create a record of all of my driving and vehicle diagnostic alerts for potential use in the future.

As I said in my blog post I have my foot in both worlds, being born in the mid 80's I was there for the birth of the modern internet and still had several years of my life where I didn't even know the internet existed. Now the internet is effectively an augmentation to my own person.
I mostly read patents about chemistry, materials, and electronics. I find a lot of older patents to be straightforward and informative. Occasionally I will run across a 21st century patent that is as readable, but they're a lot rarer now. If I had to estimate when the transition happened, I'd guess around the 1980s, maybe late 1970s. Weirdly, this is also about the time that academic publications appeared to decline in information-per-page and reproducibility-per-procedure.

The societal disclosure-value of the patent seems to be dropping off over time, both because reverse engineering has improved and because the body of a typical patent is becoming less informative about how to construct a useful embodiment of the patented invention.
I wouldn't be surprised... Seeing how bad we generally are at infosec. But it'd definitely be against a sane totp spec to allow a "one time pass" more than once.

In general you should store the most recently accepted counter (or epoch timestamp) and never allow travel back in time. That allows for clock drift, if the time between authentication attempts is less than the otherwise accepted drift.
You can, right now on eBay, get a machine with many high powered cores and 256GB of RAM, for under $3k USD.

Then, you can colocate it for $200 per month or less, with a huge amount of bandwidth included. And $200 is not the much-cheaper colos that are out there, so it is on the high side.

HA? Buy a second one and mirror in a different DC.

HA config via this method: $6k servers + $2k disk + $400/month colo. First year: $12,800 (still cheaper than AWS). Second and third year: $4800 per year.

They probably mean quality cassette players. Even that Tascam is made using standard cheap mechanisms, it only has the most basic noise reduction (Dolby B) and no tape type selection.

To even come close to justifying its $500 price tag, it should have a proper high-quality direct drive 3-head mechanism, Dolby B, C and S, as well as HX-Pro, at the very minimum to take the cassette tape seriously as a medium for music.

A Type IV "metal" tape with Dolby S and recorded using HX-Pro can sound seriously good, but nobody wants to sink the money into doing it, when they can just sell crappy Type I tapes at hipster prices.
