Ask HN: OS Chat server implementations?
Looking for Open Source chat server that can be extended to integrate or embed with products. Preferably mature and active project.
I am kind of surprised that there's not much available out there.

requirements:

- Mature, not one of hundreds "node.js chat server in 15 minutes"

- based on mainstream language platform, Node/JS or Java

What is available so far:

There's Matrix Synapse https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse but it's based on Python stack and really cumbersome to deploy.

Another one is Signal server but it's tightly coupled with Signal specific features, like requirement to register via SMS, etc.
I hope someone will treat the concept in greater depth than I can, but in my mind it seems imperative to universally tax robots and AI for some measure of their income, to balance new distortions placed upon real people's innate capacities to produce. I'm especially interested in a convincing argument of why not to, as none have come past me yet.
There is no such thing as an “iOS emulator”. The iOS simulator uses an x86 compiled version of your code and links to it an x86 build of the iOS framework.

Again there is an existence proof you can deploy code directly from Windows to iOS devices....

Microsoft tells us that it talked to Apple about this functionality and that it has its rival’s blessing and that the Live Player application complies with all of Apple’s usual rules..

It's unproductive and inefficient compared to any alternative, but calling it "evil" requires that the result be a monopoly power, and the only monopolies in the scenario here are the government itself and any exclusive contracts it may grant to private entities. These are evil, I'll agree.

But in other circumstances, the more general forms of rent-seeking can be a way to re-internalize an externality (e.g. a quantum of atmosphere that a factory could pollute), and is thereby critical to preventing "tragedy-of-the-commons"-style scenarios without violence such as rationing.

Don't you want to be able to protect the environment better than the EPA's incompetence and corruption could possibly hope to?
Neat!

I used to work on this[1] program that allows you to visualize and model SPL (volume) and Frequency patterns with a given line-array setup. Unfortunately it doesn't look like they released the Mac or Linux versions despite it being a portable Qt app, but if you're a Windows user it's pretty fun to play with.

What about GP's suggestion: The more a particular animation occurs, the faster it runs. Remove some milliseconds from it each time, down to some very low limit, so new users get the clarity benefit and experienced users get the speed.

I remember reading about such auto-adjusting UIs long ago, but the idea from then was things like shrinking labels to make room for more advanced features showing up. Not good for consistency, but auto-adjusting animations...
I'm not suggesting that you lie on your resume or in your interviews. But there may be ways to frame your situation more positively that don't raise red flags for potential employers. Instead of saying the last three years were "spotty contract work", say you were self employed. And if you're worried about your skills being rusty, start working on a side project or contributing to open source. That will boost your own confidence, help you get back into the swing of things, and give you something to talk about when interviewers ask you what you've been working on lately.
That was actually another detail I discovere, although with much less data behind it, that mixtures of ethanol and isopropanol [1] could be more effective than just one alone.

Mixing the two works well for liquid formulations, where the dispenser is a fine mist sprayer, but I'd be concerned that anything gelled or with additives for a foaming dispenser might not mix evenly enough.

[1] The usual alcohol in "rubbing alcohol" and, of course, for the previously-mentioned reason, ethanol is excluded if it's 99%

Primary training is done around 1500-3000 feet above ground, so you're expected to go through your troubleshooting checklist in less than a minute. If the engine failure is on takeoff or approach to land, which is the most common phase of flight for engine failure, you have tens of seconds for troubleshooting because you must leave spare time to get configured for an emergency landing. (CFII in a previous epoch.)
how does this compare with google's OR-Tools?

That does not imply satellite maps.
And this is sad either way since people moved to GitLab likely specifically to seek a still-independent code hosting site. I wish more businesses didn't seem like they were built to be acquired.

I hope you're wrong. :|
No, it is you who are wrong. You can't write down a table if you don't have a proper explanation of the possible event chains, and in this case you don't. Instead when people write down these event chain they add information that isn't there and then think they actually solved the problem. But all you really know is that this one time the host opened a door with a goat, you have no idea if the host always does this since the problem statement doesn't actually say it outright. It might be a good assumption to make, but it isn't in the description so it isn't a mathematically rigorous answer.
You’ll find plenty on https://www.trade-a-plane.com/ for example. Although I would be extremely wary of actually flying one that was selling for that price. You’re probably buying a project, not an airplane.

Textron still deliver some single-engined 172s and 182s eastbound like that. They've recently started staging through Belfast Aldergrove airport, which is what brought it to my attention. I had assumed they'd go as deck cargo.

Daher send TBM turboprops westbound by the same route but at least they're pressurised. Pilatus stage PC-12s through Prestwick in Scotland.

Occasionally at Belfast we see unusual types being ferried by Southern Cross, who specialise in such work:

I am a male whose experiences you describe are incredibly congruent. I am 1 year older than you and honestly struggle to find any differences in the details you share. The one is that I do dress myself but that might be because I am male and can get away with wearing the same thing every day for about a month at a time. I have a regular aspergers coach who helps quite a bit but mostly by compiling their understandings from working with others and relaying them to me.

I have always been obsessed with humanities, art, art theory, art history, etc. and have had to internalize this almost entirely. It’s hard to articulate all the problems I have had related to this but they all seem to boil down to an issue of an intensely systemized approach at pretty much every level. For one example, I started out making films, but that was short-lived because I had zero interest in working with people or actors. I was very good with camera and lighting, and planning in pre-production. My film projects were always completed in my mind and fully documented before the start of production. This drove collaborators nuts. I could always see the film in my mind so it made no sense to leave things to chance. I didn’t realize that was the problem until much later. I did identify my habit of using actors as mere props but I made the mistake of trying to overcome that and it led to giving the wrong impression of my skills. Things like navigating curation and promotion were a challenge but making good work generally cancelled them out. Nonetheless, still too many people skills required. Relatedly, I also love critical theory and articulating social organization. I cannot discuss or collaborate with other academics on these subjects. It’s not a problem with disagreements, but that I cannot tell whether they are actively being self-centered or just lack conception of systematic imperatives. In return, they find me to lack empathy for whatever is right in front of me. As such, I don’t want to judge them but I am too bothered to continue associating. All of this stuff is harmful to my well-being but letting the problems go unsolved is not an option, so I aim to occupy myself with other things. I do programming now, every day, whether I am getting paid or not.

My happiest moments are when I can fully immerse myself in activities of technical implementation and technical problem solving, as I do when I am programming. My whole body becomes healthier and happier, but the moment I am not doing that, I compulsively identify social chaos and get anxiety. This is a problem in the mornings and evenings. I can get thrown off easily and it will interrupt my ability to start working or going to sleep. I identified this a long time ago and my first solution was to just not stop working once I started, and only sleep when my body forced me to, but that was of course problematic. I have to ask: do you experience something similar? Is there anything you do about it?

Archive has actually lost some of the archives I stored on it

Who currently controls the domain? One of the ways stuff can be lost is if a new domain owner fiddles with robots.txt. (The Archive has recently changed their policy about that)

We have also seen an upsurge of the use of robots.txt files to remove entire domains from search engines when they transition from a live web site into a parked domain, which has historically also removed the entire domain from view in the Wayback Machine.

LVH and I are Latacora. Matasano is long gone; our joking nickname for Latacora is Matwosano.
Apologies if it was perceived this way. But I don't see how my comment link non-atheists with Holocaust deniers? My point is: Some people are going to believe things which are wrong (from your perspective) and that can happen at large scales. There are extremes (like flat earth) or socially-emotionally driven (like religious believes).

I say give anyone the freedom to have any opinion as long as he doesn't incite violence or act on it.

For antivax it is really a complicated one. I don't have a problem with antivax advocates but I have a problem with parents that don't vaccinate their kids. And I think the government should act on the best interest of its minor citizens.
Making the tax different based on the type of car is not the kind of 'complexity' that risks the nature of the tax. In fact, that's pretty easy.

Getting 'right of way', building permits, hiring firms, planning massive construction projects involving 'new technology' etc. etc - this is 'complicated' beyond the threshold that I would trust the NYC government.

But some kind of tax on cars is within feasibility.
Is there some way of doing 3D diagrams?
Roads are public spaces, living spaces are not.
I'm sorry I misinterpreted you. My reaction to Holocaust deniers and, come to think of it, to antivaxxers is visceral, and I saw an equivalence argument that wasn't really being made. I'll work on being less jumpy!
Hah, yeah that written in a rush and went a bit Department of Redundancy Department. Not gonna edit my silliness though, the point was there and I was honestly curious if there was some device out there for which it made a difference. The history is WiFi is so convoluted and implementations so all over the place I'm not sure any level of device weirdness would surprise me at this point, but it could still just be interesting to see exactly how off the rails something could go :)
Bets on whether Intel is behind this?
There is honestly no way Intel would be stupid enough to do that. I hope.
It sounds like you just overwhelm them with dead-ends so they don't have the resources to exhaustively search for the things that aren't dead ends.

And I have written a simulation which proves her wrong, doesn't matter. I mean, when we deal with ambiguous questions like this a simulation doesn't really help since you had to add information not originally stated in order to write it. It just happens that most people make assumptions which aligns with this answer, but you could just as well make other assumptions and get another answer.
Oh thanks! I don't even know that's possible with extensions. Just installed one, works like a charm :D
There's a large number of xmpp implementations. You can choose one with the features you need. You can either put your server together from libraries or use https://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/ if you want Java.
What a fascinating story. Thanks for sharing. I was surprised that the route went from Canada straight to the Azores. I'm imagining this is much risker route than Greenland -> Iceland -> UK -> Europe? Do you know why he selected the direct route with 14 hours over the ocean instead?
I'd suggest just switching to movement first, by way of visual mode. "v" turns on visual mode, "as" selects/highlights the sentence, then "d" to delete it or escape to return to normal mode.
It's an inevitable outcome from the myopic viewing of rights as enumerated primitives, rather than qualitatively - the mob is constantly looking for ways to justify why those rights don't apply to a given person. Prisoners are a super easy target, as their right to liberty is already being violated (justifiably, I think).

Driving a car (even though it's de facto mandatory) - bye-bye rights. On privatized commons (like a shopping mall or Faceboot) - bye-bye rights. Forced to contract for (employment, housing, food, etc) - bye-bye rights. Affecting your own consciousness with substances - bye-bye rights. Caught peeing in some bushes - bye-bye all of your rights.

And all the while, the majority cheers because it is inherently their norms being enforced. The concept of rights wasn't meant to protect the majority, but good luck getting that point across to the majority!

I guess you can read it that way if you try. But neither I or the other commenter got that meaning.
Portion size is probably a big (hah) part of it, but the lady also commented that the food here is more appetizing/indulgent than what she was used to.

OK, I was just hoping that it would have found the relevant data sources for me already.
I would rather have read a polemic.

The article doesn't necessarily make a claim. It seems to be getting at something akin to: "Science is important so we shouldn't underfund it. We shouldn't kill science funding to pay for Boomer's retirement. It's not the country's fault that the Boomers pushed for massive government deficits and plundered social security, and now they need it."

I'd rather he have just come out and said it.
Ask HN: Why/how do you choose to work on side projects?
I guess this is just my poor perspective on the whole thing, but I keep seeing people working on not-your-typical-stuff kind of projects such as compilers, computer graphics, low-level stuff in general, and I keep wandering whether those people do this as part of their line of work or just have enough time after work to learn about those fascinating things on their own, and what the reason is behind it.

This is also sort of dilemma for me because I can't find the best strategy as to how to approach self-learning. On one hand, I want to improve in my job, so I can do it better, but on the other hand I want to have a hobby or work on other skills to move on to another job. What is your reason for working on side projects and how do you select what to improve on next?
Such a ban is pointless unless you block every business which does business with Russia and that is not possible. Eastern European countries, ex soviet satellites, etc would have to pick sides and that kind of final decision isn't in our best interests or theirs.

If you only block doing business with Russia, then middlemen in other countries will just have to be go-betweens making a politically inflammatory action (blocking a world power) that wasn't actually effective beyond being offensive.

Blocking Crimea is a symbolic but also mostly ineffective practice done to make a statement. Making that statement about the entire country wouldn't be prudent.
Any pointers for particularly interesting memos in this collection?
That's much better, thank you :)
Or pragmatic? Is google a church or anything, and requires idealogical purity that is not relevant to its core business, advertising?
And if I would not know better I would still believe all the images in IKEA catalogues and all the shiny cars in the car commercials were real. They are not. IKEA started rendering product images about a decade ago and the portion of rendered images is ever increasing. I don't know of any recent car commercial in which the product was filmed instead of rendered. The interesing question is: who does even suspect?
Oh whoah! That’s very cool. I was wondering how much work a project like this would be...

Thanks! So it looks like AuthorizedPrincipalsFile/AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand gives us a method for doing this. This would have to be combined with some sort of user ID management system still, like distribution of /etc/{passwd,group} files, LDAP/AD, etc.

Now you are playing word games, just to avoid the point.

It’s not a word game. Both of your assertions were incorrect. You no more need Apples proprietary “emulator” to develop apps for iOS - Xamarin is proof of that, nor is there a “policy” against developing or deploying iOS apps without a Mac - again Xamarin is proof of that.

Calling Apples simulator an emulator is just as technically incorrect as saying using Safari and setting the window size to match mobile screens an “emulator”
By the way one of the best investments you can make is a gym membership to get access to showers, wifi, and workout equipment. You can still look professional while homeless. If you have a YMCA they might be able to waive your monthly fees.

Also check out your local library, they usually have free subscriptions to pluralsight and lynda.com among others so you can learn places other than youtube. There should be like 10 to 15 in your city given its size.

Checkout couchsurfing.com to potentially have someplace to stay on someones couch. Portland is full of hipsters that would probably be more liberal and open to this kind of thing too.

I didnt think about curfew times but yeah thats something too. If you need other essentials checkout any nonprofit community centers that can help you out there. Usually you'll get assigned a case manager who can help you stay on track too, or redirect you to other resources you may need.

Lastly local churches are really helpful too. Consider reaching out to them even if you arent religious, most churches have meal outings once or twice a week

Interestingly it seems limited to wifi networks that implement the roaming extensions to 802.11. When setting up my network at home with several AP's throughout the house I decided that, whilst roaming is nice, I don't trust most devices to select the strongest AP to latch onto after some trial and error, so disabled it wholesale.
A 256-bit pre-shared key is used in WPA authentication. If you type a password, this key is calculated by applying the PBKDF2 key derivation function to the passphrase, using the SSID as the salt and 4096 iterations of HMAC-SHA1. In my case, I am entering the raw PSK manually, so I can't say for sure that some passphrase exists that map to my PSK. Hex digits make it easier to enter this 256-bit binary value and it is a standard way to enter raw PSKs.
