I don’t get this article. Should Apple make an ahead of time compiler for Typescript and bridge it to Obj-C? What would be the benefit of using Typescript instead of Swift?
The GitHub Engineering team announced the GitHub Load Balancer and intent to open source its components back in 2016 - https://githubengineering.com/introducing-glb/. And commits to https://github.com/github/glb-director began in May. I doubt Microsoft had anything to do with releasing this other than not blocking it.

Bedrest Doesn't Work
You've highlighted an important point: The long tail of old technology. If I recall, for some city in Europe, it was businesses running old vehicles that were crying out for exceptions on the rules to ban the older diesel vehicles. The vehicles which are driving basically all day. Not great policy if they are granting all those exceptions.
Wow, compared to the rest of the sleek site, that is so incredibly obvious.

That makes me think it was an intentional typo.
An honest question for HN: has anyone really been in a project whose primary reason for failure was the lack of engineering talent? I have worked in micro/small businesses and large enterprise environments, and this has never been the case. The projects I have seen fail usually do so due to poor management, poor performers are typically fired unless they can pull one over management to make themselves seem more competent than they really are (not that difficult with bad management)

>the government allows them to charge

Seems like an euphemism for "the government forces the others to pay".
Every single one of these complaints can and is frequently made about bicyclists as well. Maybe the problem is the increased number of people using bikes of any sort without training rather than anything specific about the fact that they're motorized.
Ask HN: Student with little free time, where should I focus the time I have?
I'm a guy who doesn't have a lot of free time on his hands between work, school, relationship, dog, etc. Life stuff I guess, and I know there are people far worse off than me with real life children and what not. There are so many different ways it seems I could spend the little free time I have that I'm not sure what would be most beneficial.

I'm told to work on leetcode to prepare for interviews when I do have them.

I want to learn python. It seems rather fun, I love how much you can do with it, and I have a bunch of ideas for small side projects I could do with it.

I told a small business owner I know I would look into making an app for them using iOS. Would be a rather simple CRUD app. I don't know any swift yet either. (Obviously something I can learn, but starting from scratch seem would make the process a lot longer).

I'd like to learn some javascript, there are a few chrome extensions that I'd like to make that would be fun and useful.

All I know is C++ from my first 2 classes.

My attention is being pulled in a million different directions and really, I'm getting nothing done. I want things I can put on my resume and overall want to just improve my programming skills and learn new things, but when I don't have tons of time each week to do that I don't know where to begin. I know I have to start somewhere. Let's say I have 7 or 8 hours a week at the very most. Any advice?
Who said anything about failure or difficulty? Neither the complexity of captchas nor my ability to successfully navigate them has changed appreciably.

In some rural areas there are still extremely high ratecenters that are costly to call. Looking at a ratedeck, 1240655 (Maryland), most Montana numbers and especially the Northwestern Territories (up in Canada) are the costliest to call, ranging from a few cents a minute to tens of cents a minute. Most flat rate VOIP operators won't deliver calls to those numbers, and if they do, they'll close your account if you call there too often.

The FCC has been cracking down on Traffic Pumping (which is what FreeConferenceCall, AOL, NetZero, etc were all created to do) to these prefixes, along with fake ringing that companies including T-Mobile do to make it seem like the call is being connected to these high cost areas, meanwhile the person your calling doesn't ever receive the call (or it gets through after attempting to call for multiple minutes).
True, I should say "a" string theory.
It’s actually a well researched business case study and in the case of Tinder carried out perfectly. It’s too hard for existing company to disrupt itself because it takes too long for the new venture to make a significant difference to the bottom line, the value chain and company structure is too entrenched, the standard for excellence is too high for a nascent product or service. In business literature to avoid getting disrupted you’re supposed to set up a independent office far away and incentivize the “founding” team with upside and full autonomy and credit for success.
Use deliberate antagonism. Create an artillery cluster with flamethrowers and uranium ammo turrets around outside. Space these outside your main base defences. Make them high priority for replenishment. Self contained solar power and accumulators as well as grid power. Don’t use laser turrets except for very inside of cluster.

Use thick walls with mixture of solid walls on inside and every-other spacing on outer.

Main base exterior walls use a mixture of uranium turrets, flamethrowers and laser turrets.

Use laser turrets wrapped around large power pole within base. But no interior walls. Redundant connections using large power poles. Substations are for ordinary structures.
There's not much in the SIP protocol itself (I'm not talking the RTP streams here, just SIP) that can't be handled with adequate performance in higher level languages (whether interpreted or not). At the end of the day it's a bunch of XML over TCP sockets, a lot of your function/method calls are going to be into libc (networking), something like sax (xml), and likely database access (libpq/whatever), the coordination of these with perl is going to cost you some CPU time but likely not enough to justify the extra expensive (man hours) doing it in C or something similar.

The RTP streams, that you may want to handle in a lower level language since you're talking soft real time being a must.

It’s been ~10 years since I was at Fermilab working on the CMS Tier 1 team; when I was still new on the team, I expressed concern about data loss due to scheduled maintenance on our Nexsan clusters (coming from the private sector) and my boss would chuckle and say “Don’t worry, they’re always making more data”. Also, scheduled maintenance windows during the day! As an ops guy, I was spoiled for that period of time in my career.
For those wanting to play around with an FPGA, this looks quite interesting: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14829

It's about half the price of the other FPGAs I've seen commonly used for hobbyist projects [1], doesn't need any separate programmer board to interface to your computer for programming, and has an open source tool chain available.

I've not played with it, as it just showed up in a mailing from Sparkfun about new products.

Renta4's commission is 0.15% but I use it only for Bolsa de Santiago. Most of my portfolio is in Vanguard's ETFs that are significantly cheaper. I understand that Fintual's offer is still much better than any "fondo mutuo" from a local bank but hopefully they will be able to reduce the fees in future.

Anyway, I'm just picky because I have a choice. Meanwhile, the average person in Latin America definitely needs better instruments for investing. Best of luck to the team!
Using services like loader.io I could simulate high traffic. That opened up a new world. I was able to test different configurations under stress to find the setup that performed the best for a specific application. Highly recommend stress or load testing.
Google will say it is for better user experience, but we users know its a privacy breach. The same thing happened to me many times, without GPS switched on, without location history enabled, many times Google maps used to ask me to write a review about a place which i visited recently. Recently Google Drive asked for permission of using Wifi information. Why to ask permission just abuse it internally.

I like to learn new things.

I have a (bad?) habit of spending all my energy learning as much as I can about a new topic until I get either bored or distracted, and move on to the next thing. Never fully learning one thing (jack of all trades, master of none).

Some examples in the last year: Etching circuit boards, woodworking, ZBrush, speaker design, reading Cyrillic, photography, Erlang.

> I guess is the goal for everyone to join in some sort of majoritarian social contract? Being a lgbt person growing up I didn't interact in my local small community at all, because there was a damn good chance the local community would band together and mob me for being what I am.

Alternately, by removing yourself from your community you failed to give them examples that would've broadened their horizons.

Like, this is one form of problem with today's filter bubbles--they help polarize communities by preventing the natural mechanisms of discovery and compromise that are required for groups of humans to coexist in meatspace.
Moving expenses from one to a quarter affects profit and loss, but it's a distinct thing from cash flow. The latter is the one that looks gloomy.

No matter how rosy your income statement, if you run out of cash, the GAME OVER screen comes up and people laugh at the glowing biographies folks wrote about you and your company in $PREVIOUS_DECADE. And while your accounts payable will often deal with being fobbed off for a bit, it becomes harder to do this. And certain folks expect cash, now, and can force you to cough it up: foremost being the government, but also employees (hard to do things when people quit en masse) and key suppliers (if the electricity goes off, or the parts don't arrive, you have to shut down the line).

This article took a long time to say three things:

- Don't make your readers feel dumb

- Don't use `foo` and `bar`

- Use short sentences.

Also, why not give an example? Or some links to well written coding articles?

If my memory of a Processor Design course is correct, arranging the desired functionality onto the finite resources of an actual FPGA chip, let alone in such a way as to get good performance (i.e. have critical paths be as short as possible), reduces to bin-packing.

Often when comments on a legal case, what you say could be misinterpreted and used against you at a later time. For example, if you said "we believe the claim that X did Y is untrue", it could be used later to say "they obviously agree the other facts are true then!".

If you use this stock statement, then it won't be used against you at a later time.
The mechanism by which a tumor suppresses and evades immune response is tremendously complex. And while directly "locking" helper cells in bone marrow may seem a most pernicious defense. It isn't the only one.

For immunotherapy to fulfill its promise. Every type of response for every category of tumor cell must be decoded. As well as every effective ligand to boost immune cell strategy.

Currently there are only a handful of therapies approved globally. Among hundreds of ongoing trials that need patients to sign up.

The inefficiency in the marketplace landscape then is a disconnect. Between patients for whom there may be a potential cure. And researchers who lack the reach to connect with them.

There is probably potential for a startup here that connects the two ;)
Law is code, and the words used in legislation or case law do not mean the same thing as the same words used in everyday scenarios.

Entire cases are won or lost based on interpretation of “and” versus “or”, and even whether the presence or absence of an Oxford Comma changes the meaning of a law.

PS: code as in secret message, not code as in logical and prescriptive language for specifying tasks to a computer.
It's quite illuminating that both you and your parent are making unsubstantiated claims (I'm not criticizing, just observing), but only your comment gets downvoted. I believe the reason is that you are expressing a forbidden idea, a taboo. "Behavioral differences based on sex? What next, are you going to compare races and then grow a narrow mustache?"

People are so afraid to find that not all humans are equal in every respect other than body that they are willing to stop, mute, censor any and all discussion on the subject and even block research into human nature rather than face the danger of having to deal with this (granted, difficult) issue.
The act in question was not an "airdrop". It was a bounty (payment to parties in exchange for services rendered).

The tweets in response to the original tweet further criticize the interpretation that this means airdrops are securities:

Democratic socialists are conquering the left. But do they believe in democracy?
“Theory of everything” is a bit of a misnomer. Rather, the goal is to understand the fundamental laws of nature. That doesn’t mean all problems about complex, composite systems like turbulence will be solved. Think about it like finding the underlying simple rule of a cellular automaton, as opposed to all the phenomena such a rule gives rise to. Sometimes the fundamental is more simple than what emerges from it.

Kind of a disappointing read; guess I've scaled past them.

I was doing over 1 Million Metrics every 60s; I big problem I always found wasn't statsd. It was carbon.

Once you configure carbon on a big enough host with the right tools (haproxy is great here) you can really scale.
Ask HN: Help (no life thread)
Hello all, I made this burner acc on HN to try and ask people without showing exactly who I am.

So in short, I am going down the hill, I am starting to loose interest in almost anything but sitting and staring at the wall.

Now I am in this state in which nothing really interests me, I do not cook anymore, I do not go to the gym, hell if I leave my flat..

What is wrong with me?

I am a 26 year old, have been working in web dev since 19 trying to make a startup for the past 2-3 years, but I fail to see any progress. I just do not know how this life thing works!
I have ambitions, I do not want to remain in a 40-60k job (this is Europe) for the rest of my life, but through my work experience I was always seen as the young one and given no choice but to quit and get a new job in order to advance a bit further.

On the other side, I have made 3-4 projects, first solo and then with other people and all turned to ashes. I understand that the chances are incredibly low, but I cannot even find people that want to try and make something. It is literally insane, I have this feeling that I cannot find the people that I should be working with, either in a company or for a startup.

I used to work in 3 companies in Berlin and people were 9-5 and thats it. I had to keep on going to my bosses and ask for more work, more difficulty etc and when they all failed to deliver it, I quit.

I finally found out what I am actually good at. I consume a problem, find the solution, apply it and move on. If I dont do that constantly I get bored, but not like "oh this again?" I can handle this, but please! if you see the same thing over and over again let me automate it!

In my first work, I told them lets automate the provisioning and hibernation of our QA servers and save 2-3k per month. I got a no..

I could go on forever.. is this a normal thing?

> Bitcoin charges something like $4 per transaction lately, and they take on the order of a day to process. It's unstable, and it's confusing to most people.

Bank transactions take that or longer to fully settle. The merchant and bank are just giving you credit to bridge the gap when you use your card at the checkout line. Your bank sends a best guess that you actually have the funds but won't know for sure until the daily batch job is run. If you look at the actual mechanics of bank transactions you'd find it much more confusing than BTC - everyone just papers it over for you in exchange for a fee which you probably don't know your paying.

You could do the same thing with BTC, look at the source addresses balance since everything is public and make a short term credit decision.
Dropbear SSH, a lightweight alternative to OpenSSH
I live in China and walked by one of those e-bike food delivery guys the other day. He was casually sitting on the sidewalk with his gear halfway taken off (I guess on break). Most of the skin on the front of his knee was completely, all the way down to the muscle and kneecap, gone. Looked like it was a few days old.

If you look at the road mortality statistics for those countries you'll see that safety equipment and regulations are absolutely necessary if you want to avoid lots of pain and suffering, and externalities. It's just those places simply can't afford them and deal with it in ways more advanced economies aren't prepared to accept.
Note how T stands for temperature, so we can use the symbols NIL for absolute zero and T for absolute hot.
> In meatspace social pressure exists unlike on the internet.

That is my point and what is changing, as people figure out how to interact in the platform. In Oklahoma yesterday nearly all local news outlets reported on a group of adults threatening violence (or to have their children/grandchildren commit violence) on a 12 year old transgender girl. They did that on Facebook, and their names are out there along with their identities. People are moving towards more identifiable or at least moderated spaces, because frankly most people don’t want to interact on a platform that’s main feature is they allow anyone to say anything with no consequences.

Alex Jones may not exist if it weren’t for the internet, but the backlash to views like his is real as public spaces on the internet figure out how to deal with bad actors.

> Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty — so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom.

I've been nervous about "owning" cloud-based media since Amazon deleted Kindle-purchased copies of 1984 [0].

Even today, media you "own" on services like Amazon can disappear when the cloud provider's license for this content expires. In my opinion, it is far better to purchase a Blu-Ray or CD copy of media titles you wish to retain, rip them to disk, and stream them to the device of your choice via Plex or Kodi.
