This culture, while nice, cannot scale. At some point or another, an online community becomes an image of the wider social community it serves, regardless of the intentions of the founders or ephemeral royalty.

Just like Facebook or Reddit (d)evolved, HN cannot forever maintain a 70s hacker ethos and mannerisms. At some point or another the current reality of today's Silicon Valley tech bros and gold rush mentality will come to dominate, as it indeed has.

So I believe paulie has a point, IANAL is superfluous on any internet forum, this one included. And yes, that's solid legal advice I can give with full professional authority.
Hundreds of thousands of people live in high density areas of Los Angeles with densities far exceeding San Francisco's most dense areas. Also people live in LA for the same reason they live in other big cities, because it's incredibly diverse and vibrant. Traffic may be bad, but most people aren't in transit for that long anyways since the city is still pretty dense, and you can get everything you need within your neighborhood (where many neighborhoods are totally walkable).

May I ask what your specific pain points are? We've been doing a lot to try and improve our usability but there's so very much on our backlog that it's hard to prioritize. I'm always curious if people have specific requests

The ultimate fantasy of every programmer is to a) invent a new language and b) force other people to use it. It’s OK, we all get it, it’s fine. But let’s be honest about our motivations...

A previous employer had RQL, "relational query language". It was between 10,000 and a million times slower than SQL depending on what you were doing (under the covers it was just generating really bad SQL). But the engineer who invented it was sufficiently well connected to get it declared the corporate standard, so...

Show HN: Newsit 1.0 – Find Discussions (Chrome and Firefox Extension)
Last year around this time I tried to implement a bare bones graqhql API with Django.
I kept having to write boilerplate code to get it working.

I quickly learned why Django rest framework is the defacto standard... The tooling is just uncomparibly better
Hey Everyone,

Newsit is a little browser extension I created to help you find the Reddit or Hacker News discussion based on the webpage you're currently on.

The Chrome Extension was posted a few days ago, but now it's ported to Firefox too!

Check it out, and let me know if you have any feedback.

Cheers

India and China were the top sources of radioactive goods shipped to the U.S. through 2008, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Bartley, a metallurgist who has tracked radioactive contamination since the early 1990s, said there’s no evidence the situation has improved.
This is a self congratulatory lazy... ad.
I think all of the things you mention can be addressed, it's just that cities often build apartments as a way to increase density only when it's needed rather than to think things through in a density/walkability first way.

Cities can have family sized apartments, with the needed amenities in a way that's designed both for cars/walking/biking/ect.
Bickering over a misspelling is pretty petty
Thanks for your efforts, really appreciate it. I use Emacs daily so it's critical for me that it's secure
I live in an area of Berlin where about half the residents are on social security. Everybody is within walking distance to a bus stop, buses come every ten minutes or so, and trains and subways take you to the city center in less than half an hour. An hour in public transport connects almost any two points in Berlin. Public transport is an effective alternative to cars in cities with decent density.

Biking to the city center is also possible and takes about half an hour as well.
Included. Thanks :)
Well, the team is small, we're up to three whole devs now. Since 2014 we've been doing a lot of work o help bring our VT implementation up to par (to help enable WSL), as well as implementing new features such as 256/RGB color support, improved accessibility features, and we're even releasing a pty-like API for Windows.

Not only that, but since the team was founded we discovered that conhost was not the only console implementation in Windows, though it's the only one available on Desktop. There was a pretty massive undertaking to unify all the separate console implementations on different SKUs under one application, so that all of them would be improved at the same time. It didn't have a terrible lot of impact on the everyday developer, but it was important to help internal engineering efforts.
I understand your point, but in the end, isn’t it just market forces at work? I lived in Cambodia for two years, and I definitely charges a lot less than what I do now I’m back in Europe.

It made sense for me: with two weeks of work I could live comfortably for two or three months, and I still charged way below Western market rates, so I had no problems finding clients. And it allowed me to be picky about the type of work I would accept.

What’s not to like?
I agree. Many of the checks in my "netsec" branch does take inspirations from Firefox and Chrome. However, there's a fundamental distinction - Emacs currently has 4 security levels (hopefully soon reduced to 3), whereas browsers only have one. There are also a few RFCs that demand terminating your connection say when you've negotiated SSLv3. Emacs doesn't terminate and won't terminate before asking the user first (with caveats). Another difference is Emacs is used for all kinds of comms including email and Jabber, so browser practices may present compatibility problems with protocols other than HTTP. This is something that needs to be tested when my branch is merged into master, but this is difficult, as the current strategy seems to be just wait for a while and see if anybody complains. There's also a tendency for some people to avoid the emacs mailing lists, so the signal, or lack there of, may not be representative.
You're actually trying to argue that judges have an active decision making role in deciding whether or not a grand jury issues an indictment? You're really destroying your own credibility and making my point for me the deeper this conversation goes.

I've grown to accept it. However, sometimes I wish we had something to replace braces like some IDE coloring schemes to clearly represent indentation levels. In larger programs it gets difficult to tell apart levels sometimes.
I'm not bickering.

This is the internet. All I have to go by is the actual writing on my screen. I was merely being as accurate and clear as I know how to be and not assuming it was a misspelling. I was merely covering all bases to make sure we are as on the same page as possible.

Nope, Android v1 was a no-name product from a highly competent web service provider without any track record whatsoever in mobile OSes.

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a good product, so it needed to be open source to gain traction, since no one in their right mind would pay for it. Furthermore, it needed the device manufacturers on board, since Google had zero mobile HW experience, as can be seen on how they handled their Motorola acquisition.
So Google actually owes device manufacturers quite a lot. It couldn't have done it without them.

And you completely fail to appreciate how complex and important the Linux kernel is. Look at their Fuchsia effort: it was published in 2016 and was in dev for a couple of years probably. Still not ready for production.
Now try to imagine what would happen if Apple had 3 extra years to develop iOS before Android was launched. Android would be stillborn.
That's what Linux brought to the table.

I agree. The AWS S3 outage postmortem had a much more specific description of the technical problem (even though it amounted to bad parameters being passed to a script).
Not the parent, but personally, my only real pet peeve with PowerShell as an IT admin is that the right click start menu replaced cmd with PowerShell despite it still being drastically slower to load on many PCs. There's a setting to change it back, but if you are working on other computers all the time, that's not useful at all. This is my main peeve with the Settings panel as well: It's slower to get things done with, but the legacy panels have been intentionally made harder to reach[1] before performance parity has been reached.

My understanding is that improving PowerShell's start time is a big part of the next release of Windows 10, and that's great, but once that's done was the right time to put PowerShell as the default console on Windows, not before. 98% of why I open a prompt is to run "ping", and waiting for the prompt to actually show up in PS takes longer than a ping timeout. (Which is to say, if you need one takeaway from this post: Remember that no matter how cool you make PowerShell, most of us are only opening it to ping something, that's the most important experience to get right.)

Especially some of the decisions with the install screens for Windows 10 seem to highlight that people at Microsoft aren't aware how some subtle changes cause significant pain/delay for IT folks. Like with 1803 being forced to come up with security questions when creating the local account on a PC you're about to domain join.

[1]Example: Programs and Features from the legacy control panel no longer appears in search, even if you type it all the way out. Typing "appwiz.cpl" is the fastest way to see what's installed on a computer (and what versions) at a glance, but kinda a pro trick.
This is true of larger cities and metros, but the size of the US is too large to get rid of cars. I’m currently on a road trip through at least 7 states, and the car is the only way I pull that off.
I think serverless GraphQL is the future of the backend. And honestly, not as familiar with the Python landscape but if you use tools like Prisma (Node-based) or AppSync (AWS Lambda based), a lot of your GraphQL queries and mutations can be generated automatically based on a typed schema file.
I’m aware. That set of characteristics is more straightforward than other definitions I’ve come across. Umberto Eco’s definition is commonly used but requires more context.

You're asking for a 'smart' product that respects your privacy, which generally isn't something that exists for the consumer market. Your easiest option is refusing to give your TV an Internet connection and doing things your own way instead (input from a computer or other small device you can actually control easily). If that's not an option then you can mess around with firewalls or VLANs and so on for it, but it's still quite a bit of effort.
You're getting downvoted because you're nitpicking vocabulary. Most people understood "infinite amount of product" to mean "functionally infinite, given the low demand and large supply."

The quality of HN is more important than winning. Let's have a conversation worth reading.

The reason I laid out some creds is because you seemed to ignore the substantive part of my comment, twice now.

It is tradition in the security field to make every security incident seem like a very big deal. (See tptacek's comment on cloudflare's memory leak, for example.) But just because there exist vulnerabilities, it does not mean that (a) anyone has exploited them or (b) that you are in any kind of danger.

I was shocked that I've been exposed to a dozen TLS vulns that might cause arbitrary code execution the whole time since package.el became a part of Emacs back in circa-2013.

This sentence makes it sound like anyone who has used emacs in any way since 2013 has been in immediate risk of having their computer taken over. Maybe that's true. But even if it were true, what precisely would the steps be to make this attack happen? Have you proved that it can be done?

EDIT: The main point I'd like to get across is that it's worth fixing security problems, but it's important to maintain a spirit of cooperation rather than accusation. Everyone has security issues. Even (perhaps especially) the big names that you wouldn't expect to. That's why people pay pentesters a lot of money -- we're effective at making sure no one else finds them before we do. But emacs doesn't have the resources to get a pentest, and out of all the security vulnerabilities they could possibly have, a few TLS flaws wouldn't even be marked as medium severity unless there were a direct way to take over a user's computer via the flaw.
I don't know if such a thing exists.

But I remember Vizio got hit with a huge fine for spying on viewing habits and had to make everything opt-in in response. So they might ironically be your best bet, despite a terrible history before this.
> Noise/smell/bugs from neighbors is awful to deal with, crummy stairwells (never an elevator), fighting for a parking spot and hauling groceries was a hassle.

That's unfortunate. One of the things I love about my apartment (Chicago) is that I've got friendly neighbors, it's well kept, there's decent parking, and I've got a deli and 2 grocery stores in walking distance.

I'm a big fan of park and rides though, esp if it connects to rail. They seem like a good compromise to help alleviate congestion from a city and work to collect from lower dense areas where there's not enough density to support rail.
mapbox is totally a reasonable alternative, and in a lot of cases you can build something quickly with leaflet that gives you everything you need.
Having seen a lot of these, I knew before clicking that it would be:

a) android skinned to look like ios

b) based on a mediatek reference chipset/rf baseband platform

c) riddled with buggy apps with huge security vulnerabilities

basically if you go to dealextreme, aliexpress, dhgate or a similar website. search for android phones, find things that cost right around $70-100, they'll all be very similar.

The more amazing part to me is that they actually bothered to duplicate a lightning port rather than use microusb or usb-c for charging.
No alcohol.
I drink lots of tea, if you want to consider it as caffeine
Depression/Anxiety is often caused by nutrient deficiencies, especially vitamin D and magnesium. Even with bleak prospects or a meaningless life, depression/anxiety becomes mostly cognitive when properly fed/supplemented. "Hey, this idiot just ruined my life," for example, but as vitamin D + K and magnesium are being supplemented, it's like a passing thought slowly creeping in.

I'm mainly referring to general depression that's not clinical. Many get depressed/anxious "for no reason," but it's often due to deficiencies or imbalances. It's not hard to believe when poor sleep, excess stimulant/caffeine use, poor nutrition and eating habits, high stress/drain, insufficient sunlight, etc all combine.

Many would benefit from a high-quality multivitamin, D + K, and chelated/TRAACS magnesium supplement. And maybe DHA + krill oil.

Take enough vitamin D3 to keep 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in the 40-60 ng/mL range. Dose calculator: http://www.vitamindservice.com/node/87. Take at least 10 mcg vitamin K2 MK-4 or 2 mcg K2 MK-7 for each 50 IUs of vitamin D3. For example, add at least 1,000 mcg vitamin K2 MK-4 if taking 5,000 IU vitamin D3.

PS: a magnesium deficiency can be corrected by applying an oil spray all over like lotion (rinsing after 20-30 minutes) for a few weeks.
We could start by pricing in the damage cars do to the environment. A first step would be raising taxes on fuel until Joe Sixpack thinks twice before burning a gallon of gas to get his beer.
Question: Wouldn't it just be easier for Emacs to link to libcurl which has pretty much reasonable defaults (afaik, correct me if I'm wrong). The result would be that Emacs wouldn't need to link to a specific TLS library or have to maintain this. libcurl's API has a good reputation for not breaking :-)

Also big thanks for putting this work into Emacs. I use Emacs for hours at least every work day and many non-workdays as well.
And in that case, the worst possible outcome is to have many competing funded companies in the same space. Merit doesn’t enter into it much.
I have three cars.

I have a four wheel drive, for going out to collect fire wood, go camping, and do generally outdoors things with.
I have a race/track car for being a general nuisance to society and shooting flames at people. And then I have a silly little automatic Honda for doing errands around the city when I need something cheap to operate and nimble around tight streets and things.

Having these cars all fit particular requirements I have. However I still end up riding my push-bike or taking the bus, because the normal day-to-day commute doesn't always require storage capacity.

I can certainly understand the reasons that people can be sufficiently happy with doing without a car. I can also understand the reasons why people are forced to need a car. I don't, however, like seeing people vilified or interrogated for being on either side of that fence.
I have always driven manual cars for that reason. But when we got a Spark EV (the least possible electric car) my wife and I had to argue about who got to drive it. Even a crisp shifting manual with a lively engine feels sluggish and unresponsive compared to electric drive. It's like using an old budget phone with a resistive touch screen compared to using an iPad. Both sort of do the same thing, but one makes you happy and one makes you sad.
Can't speak for OP, but I tried migrating some of our workflow to Windows. First annoyance I hit was this one:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30418886/how-and-why-doe...

This may be by design, but there has to be a better way. Unix/Linux consoles have allowed mouse copy/paste for as long as I can remember and I've never experienced this bug over there.

Really annoying when you go out to lunch with a job running, only to come back to find that it's right where you left it. So many solutions to this problem like making the copy/paste mode harder to trigger accidently. Visual feedback that it's in that mode, or allowing the buffer to expand indefinitely when copy mode is triggered.

Pausing the job is the last thing I'd want, especially since this seems to easy to trigger accidentally.

> This lifestyle can't work for people outside of cities

I'm not sure. You have to look to other places in the world to see examples of lower density living, though. I live in rural Japan in a small town. Officially I think it is officially 25K people, but that's only because it is more efficient for a single city hall to service a larger area. In reality, I think that it is closer to 5-10K in the town itself and then a spattering of people around the outskirts.

The main street of the town is 6 blocks long, if I remember correctly. I live 2 km away from the "hustle and bustle" of the town ;-) I live in a 3 story walk up apartment building surrounded on 3 sides by rice fields. Here and there, there are similar small apartment buildings, single family homes and small farms. In the walkable area, there are 3 grocery stores, a variety of restaurants, some clothing stores, some hardware stores, one electronics store, many bars (Japan is a drinking society), etc. There are many factories in the area (including TDK, Suzuki, and a few other big ones). There are dentists, doctors, etc, etc, etc.

I have to walk to the "down town" to catch the bus to the nearest big city, which I probably do once a month or so. However, that's it. Near the main street, it is mostly houses and shops, but by the time you get out my way (which is only a 20 minute walk) more than half of the land is farmland. The main street is right by the beach, too, so it only spreads in one direction. That should give you an idea of how small it is.

There are definitely places where it would be very difficult to live without a car, but it's pretty darn rural here and it's extremely comfortable to live if you are able bodied. If you have a bike, you can even easily ride to the next town (or the one after that). When I was teaching in the high school here, most of my students rode from 2 or 3 villages away, because there weren't enough students in the area to fill up the school. So depending on your definition of "city", I think it's completely doable. You just have to intentionally design the towns to be accessible. (It also helps that farms in Japan are extremely small, by law).
