And Pubsubhubbub/WebSub is a plain simple upgrade on top of that model, for when you do not want to rely on polling only, e.g. because you want updates delivered quickly (vs polling, where most implementations sensibly have logic to adapt their polling speed to posting rate of a resource).

One of the benefits closed platforms have is that they can deliver posts inside the platform immediately, WebSub brings the option for that to feeds on the open web, without requiring subscribers to poll every <5 minutes and without requiring them to do large changes under the hood, e.g. introducing new non-HTTP protocols which can't be used on all hosting options.

For end-devices other update mechanisms are useful as you say, and systems speaking them could hook onto Websub hubs to get notifications they then translate. E.g. your typical wordpress blog has no chance of offering a XMPP channel, but it can ping a WebSub hub since it's only HTTP.
We've updated the link from https://gizmodo.com/google-is-reportedly-looking-to-take-ove..., which points to this.
No (or little) commute is always a big positive, even if the salary isn't as good as it could be. I'm commuting Southampton->London at the moment and it's pretty awful. OTOH the money is good and I expect to take a few months off next year, so it's worth it for now.
Thing is, it's not about one or two large stand out bugs affecting a few. SL of course had bugs, all software has bugs.

But Lion and the next few versions after that had constant small issues, instabilities and glitches that became a background noise that made the entire period of using versions 10.7-10.9 frustrating.
The fix is not complicated. I have no issue with my search data/post viewing history providing me better results or better ads.

The real damaging data to people and society at large is a different set of data. It's the publicly visible counts next to every thought and utterance reinforcing misguided beliefs and behaviour up and down the food chain constantly. Any experienced shrink, psycologist or educator, marketing/PR expert knows applying the right amount of feedback at the right time is critical to how people process info.

Remove/delay/reduce the visibility of like counts/view counts/upvotes/retweet counts that are displayed and the world will be a different place overnight.
The poster is literally talking about my language, but implying something about me, which is ad-hominem. What they should do is say why I am wrong if they believe Im wrong. If they dont say why I'm wrong because the scope of it is beyond their ability to convey in a HN comment, then fair enough. But they're essentially hand-waving away me and what I'm saying because they've declared it racist (and indirectly me).

Actually everyone is racist so the term is redundant. La Raza (now renamed for PR reasons) is not protesting admissions discrimination against Asian applicants in academia for example. They exclusively advocate for the rights of their own ethnic group, the only reason they advocate for other groups is where such advocacy also directly benefits themselves.

You're quite disingenuous, I made a comment that slavery is expensive and slaves have to be fed and housed so slavery is not very useful, and actually more expensive that just having "free" people.

The reason you choose to cherry pick something to say about "oppression of white males" (which I would never use a phrase like that) is you know the negative sentiment that surrounds that phrase here on HN, so that's why you use it and attach it to me.
"The market is competitive and your market rate has increased, so here's a raise (of more than 2-3%)"

The point stands, but this actually happened at Microsoft in the late '90s when the dot bombs were in full swing, and anyone that could spell "HTML" was making bank. In combination with my annual review raise and the market bump, I got a 35% raise that year. Step 2 of that process is "try not to be bitter about how much you were underpaid", but 90s MSFT stock options helped ease that sting a little.
and with regards to parent comment your point is what exactly?
Possibly because large corporation do internally have a form of central planning - usually using Oracle Hyperion (which Google appears to use).... :-)

Edit: I based my guess about Google using Hyperion for their financial planning based on the job adverts....
That reasoning is a good display of the underlying problem. It’s nobody’s fault so nobody takes care of it.
In the Bay Area market rates (and cost of living) were rising at 10%+ per year for several years. Add an adjustment for experience, and the average raise for new employees should have been 20% or so to be market-competitive. But almost no companies did this, hence tons of job hopping.
>A Faustian bargain implies that we knew the price.

As someone who for years often pointed out the bargain, I am not sympathetic to your position. Almost everyone I know who knew the price did pay it. Often, it was not merely the lack of knowledge, but actively putting their fingers to their ears to drown out inconvenient voices like mine.
365.25 is a ratio- the number of rotations of the earth per revolution. In a real sense, it comes from our solar system.

If you shy away from it, any given point in your year's calendar will drift in terms of seasons. You see this in the around 354 day Hijri calendar, for instance.

(Edited: removed claim 365.25 is unitless. The unit is rotations/revolution)
The label obsession is part of consumer-culture identity purchasing, and an extension of group mentality. Sexual labels are just one more thing absorbed into that mess. A person is their music collection, yoga class, mountain bike, glasses, political alignment, etc. No longer do you have to accomplish anything to be interesting, just buy a personality.

I disagree with you on there being no liberation coming from the movement. I only agree insofar as the label obsession is mainstream.
Yup. And a smaller blemish even once paid, for something like 7 to 10 years after that. (That's the retention period for collections information on credit reports.)
I’d like to, but it’s a valuable way to get my ideas out to friends and family and to have discussions.

It’s more valuable and more personal than, say, a blog, because:
* my post + all the comments show up in the same UI where people go to see dumb videos or cute photos of friends’ families
* I can share a link or thought, and have more follow up with these friends and family, because they know me on a personal level, and know that the conversation is limited to people who at least somewhat know me, rather than all manner of internet trolls.

They trust me more than random other person on the Internet who might share the exact same information... just like I trust them more than random people on the internet.

If Facebook is going to keep a shadow profile on me anyway, I want to get a little something out of it. Whether they should be allowed to keep the shadow profile on me or not, though, is a different question altogether. And I think only legislation could decide that effectively.
We leave it to each team to write and manage their own, gently nudging them in the right direction if they stray.
WordPress Deployment: Deploying WordPress with DeployBot
If I were in your shoes, I would start with vanilla ES 5 (no package manager or framework) and build a simple project. In the beginning, you want to figure out big concepts like the event loop and all the ansynchronous stuff. When you first get started, all sorts of shit is going to be undefined, so log everything to the console and pay attention to how variables go from undefined to defined.

If you can't think of an idea, try building an accurate HIIT timer with vanilla JavaScript. Have a simple backend where you can save/retrieve/edit results and build an interface for that. But, don't get bogged down in package management, Webpack, libraries or any of the other shit.

Once you're finished that, ideally, you'll be in a position where you feel in control of your variables. You'll have some understanding of how JavaScript chains together, and a sense of how things will happen under the hood. Hopefully, you'll also be good with your chosen browser and its developer tools, especially the JavaScript console. And, with some luck, you'll have enough exposure to the 'interesting' parts of JavaScript that moving to ES 6 will seem like an actual upgrade.

At that point, you should be ready to start learning slightly more modern JavaScript. Then, it would be wise to move into a framework. Currently, your three big choices are Vue, React and Angular. I have little experience with Vue, so I'll let more experienced people weigh in there. Angular seems to be getting a little less popular, though it could just be because, since they started using semver, they've seemingly released a new version every eleven minutes.
So adding that button requires downloading and installing a file, and it has some references to openwith@darktrojan.net. I am not a web programmer but that doesn't seem right. The open with mpv browser extension, seems cleaner. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/send-to-mpv-p...
Average Girl- Fighting to Change Our World
> I can imagine some use cases, but since you've been thinking about this a lot longer

I don't know the future but I'm happy to give you my prediction in case it's interesting for you now and hilariously entertaining when we look back in ten years.

> 1. Use cases

We built it for fun but I could see myself using to quickly spin up small little hobby projects, kinda like how you might use Heroku.

We've also talked about the idea of "open services". Think "open-source" where the source code is free, "open hardware" where the blueprints are free, so this would be services where both the code and the data are free. You could fork the whole service including data kinda like a blockchain but without having to have the overhead of a decentralized service. You don't need Codius for that but open-services seem to mash more nicely with the anyone-can-pay mentality of Codius than just running on someone's AWS account.

Another use case is if somebody wants to create a decentralized application, today they have to run around recruiting hosts. I used to work at Ripple and we'd run around and ask people to please run validators. It required a whole team and a lot of Powerpoint to get to a decent number. Many other projects like BigchainDB went through a similar process. Codius basically makes this a one click affair, you just upload to whatever hosts you want, publish the source code and anyone can verify that the hosts claim to be running the code you say you uploaded. So people have to trust a majority of the hosts (which all distributed consensus systems provably require) but not you as the uploader.

Another idea we had was beneficial digital organisms. We already have "viruses", i.e. programs that replicate without permission. But Codius provides a platform where programs can run by paying without having to steal computing resources. So you could imagine programs that earn money and then pay to run longer or on more hosts.

> 2. Long term vision for different paths along which you might see this evolve?

I just started a company called Coil which is building tech so websites can make money. I think this could come together with Codius to make websites that earn money from users visiting them and then pay for their own hosting. Those websites could in principle survive their creators by centuries. I think that's pretty cool.

Obviously, all of these ideas have been talked about by others long before Codius but my pitch for Codius would be that it's a nice and pragmatic, web-y way to do it vs the clunky, blockchain-based approach.
Well, it's hard to change the number of solar days it takes to go around the sun one full revolution. Anything different and we'd see the seasons shift.

As for number of hours in a day. 24 is very divisible which is better than say 10. You can divide it into 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 without fractions.

As for 60 minutes and 60 seconds, these again are very divisible: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60.

The more interesting question, should we have chosen base 12 instead of base 10. It would of course be harder to count using your fingers.
Hilarious:

You can do this with (the awesome) Citi 2% cash back card as well, just use their normal website to generate virtual numbers.
Sarcasm and humor are a big deal. They are active attempts to identify resonance with a crowd and common ground, and can be used to assess if there is a strong cultural basis in a community. In the internet it's become very hard to have cohesive communities, so sarcasm has to be labeled (perhaps hoping that it will help people learn to identify it without labels in the future - in vain, i think).
Again, I would say that relations have not improved regardless of interracial marriages.

Public approval has increased likely in lockstep with how functionally illegal it is to not approve.

There was a lot of coverage of the 787s problems in Polish media recently and it brought to light one thing regarding these engines that really frightens me. Quoting the (leaked?) memo:

>The experience with General Electric Engines, which had experienced perhaps two shut downs on the Boeing 767s in over 20 years, had given the airline a sense of security so that the shut down of one engine did not cause any pressure, the probability of the failure of the second engine was rated minimal.

>Rolls Royce on the other hand had taught the airline however, that this was not true. From RR bulletins it is clear that the shut down of one engine dramatically increases the likelihood of the other engine failing. This forces us to revise our approach to ETOPS.

I hope they continue doing this work. Very interesting
As an evening person, personally I find it more optimal if it stays light until later in the evening, and less light is wasted on morning times like 7am

But now that I think about it, maybe moving time like that also moves around when other people will be awake/asleep. So what actually defines an evening person?

-a relationship between when it's light and when it's dark?

-a relationship between when other people are awake and asleep and schedules like typical working hours (a desire to be awake after others went to bed, as opposed to a desire to be awake before others get up in the morning)

-a relationship to the 24 numbers assigned to certain times of the day?

I'm an evening person but especially in winter would like more light in the evening. So I guess what I really prioritize is being awake after other went asleep, instead of when it's light/dark, even if it makes me miss out on some light that I would like to see. Or maybe my biological clock thinks differently than what my mind wants...
Funny enough, biologists complain about the very same thing. Common wisdom is that biologists who study "charismatic mega-fauna" get traction with public opinion / may find easier funding streams than researchers who study small ugly things.

And as an aside, Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle had a snow leopard kitten this year. Snow leopards are indeed adorable, and I did think to myself about Apple scoring a win in having such an illustrious association.

It might be the greatest if you have a decent amount of money. My experiences with poorer rural communities really changed my perspective on the US (and I assume inner cities communities would also have the same effect).
5 military phrases for DevOps practitioners
Just want to point out that the idea that males are being persecuted for their gender isn't necessarily a fringe incel position.

For example, Doris Lessing--yes, that Doris Lessing--is expressing concerns about treatment of men:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2001/aug/14/edinburghfestival...

This is a complicated issue, and I agree with a lot of what you wrote, but by the same token I think it's important to not understate or dismiss certain concerns or problems. Two wrongs don't make a right, etc.
Why do IVRs universally suck? They seem incapable of transferring information you already entered and blare obnoxious advertisements every 12 seconds while on hold. It's like the designers of these systems had "make it as painful as possible" in the requirements.

The tech industry does overwhelmingly vote for more housing, but many people in tech are young, newly arrived, and very busy. In California’s Byzantine political system, whoever can sit in the right meetings for longest and file the right paperwork at the right time has political power. This ends up being elderly homeowners, and the nonprofits that earn their money servicing the homeless (SF spends more money on this than they do on streets and parks).

The forced update stuff can be a real pain even if no reboot is needed. Many updates cause high CPU usage, making work rather slow going. Some even do this during the downloading step, so they can cause you trouble even during your active hours.

Even if you disable this stuff with the Group Policy Editor, you still have to be careful, because if you click the 'you need updates' notification (perhaps to see which updates are ready) you approve them for installation sight unseen. The entire system is unfathomably user-hostile.

> Rather, the sophisticated targeting systems available through Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other Big Tech ad platforms made it easy to find the racist, xenophobic, fearful, angry people who wanted to believe that foreigners were destroying their country while being bankrolled by George Soros.

This is where the argument collapses. It's well known that the right-wing have carefully and diligently constructed their own parallel reality [1]. There are endless right-wing news sites, blogs, and forums that tirelessly aggregate these people and pump them full of propaganda [2]. Facebook here is acting, at best, as a viral multiplier. Even if Facebook were to disappear tomorrow there are a plethora of sites ready to leap in at a moment's notice. Facebook's disappearance would not degrade the propaganda effort. Heck, there's always email.

Cory doesn't have the courage to say it but his real issue must be with the internet as a whole. Propaganda is the internet's real killer app. You can see just how nicely this works: propaganda relies completely on repetition and copying [3]. And what is the one thing the internet does better than anything else?

It may feel good to blame Facebook but this will ultimately accomplish nothing. Propagandists will literally build their own social networking sites if Facebook goes away. The sort of people who obsess over immigration aren't going to simply log off. They are connected now and there are plenty of people out there eager to connect with these people and validate their most elaborate paranoid fantasies. Where there is demand, there will be supply.
