Ask HN: How to fucking make Gmail not fucking asking me do I want to reply?
Lately, Gmail has fucking some orange fucking coloured question in the inbox asking if I fucking want to reply to this email I received, oh, 5 or so fucking days ago.

No, I don't fucking want to. Stop fucking bugging me.

How do I tell Gmail to shut the fuck up?
It should support it as well as deb or rpm does. I.e. it is completely uninvolved in drag-and-drop.
Not being the first to quote a number just means that - letting them bring up the first number.

It doesn't mean flying out for an onsite without knowing if they can match your pay. That's obviously silly.
If pay started at $10 per hour and you had an incredible amount of staff to find actually talented people, this is maybe a bad idea. If you thought you'd "disrupt" hiring at your small company this could be a solid company-ending idea...
And the (funny?) thing is that now the whole world has to suffer, probably millions of developers, because at one point tar had an installed user base of about 500 people. Yay for backwards compatibility :)

Make is another famous victim of this:

> Why the tab in column 1? Yacc was new, Lex was brand new. I hadn't tried either, so I figured this would be a good excuse to learn. After getting myself snarled up with my first stab at Lex, I just did something simple with the pattern newline-tab. It worked, it stayed. And then a few weeks later I had a user population of about a dozen, most of them friends, and I didn't want to screw up my embedded base. The rest, sadly, is history.
The comparison above was vendor-provided install scripts.

From my understanding, Flatpak provides sandboxing and asks the user to confirm exceptions, which if it works reliably does seem like I win something security-wise going from "go to vendor website, use their installation script" to "go to vendor website, get their flatpak thing, know that it can't totally screw my system without me granting it exceptions".

Parent claims it's only a usability benefit, so I'd like to know details about the problems with its sandboxing (totally willing to accept that they exist, sandboxing is tricky and not a cure-all)
WebOS was an acquisition from Palm, however. And they dumped it almost immediately after the Touchpad and the Pre3 sales tanked.

If you are in California, this is a completely moot point. The new comp law (AB168) requires employers to disclose the pay range for a job upon request.

So if a recruiter asks you to name the first number, you should ask them for the pay range and they are legally obligated to disclose the range.

The idea here seems like it would be best suited to a working environment that has a deep pipeline, from unskilled to semi-skilled to skilled or specialized workers. People can be hired unconditionally to the unskilled pool, from which they can move up to the higher tiers either through training (either internally or externally) or through natural ability.

A bakery, like in this example, seems like it could pull this off, since janitorial work at a bakery is straightforward but unlikely something you'd want to subcontract, and presents a natural place to interact with other workers in more specialized positions, through management or through learning more.

In software this is more difficult, because there's no longer a pipeline for things like data entry, assembly, or basic IT support (traditional inroads), especially at a smaller company, much less janitorial or food prep work that presents an opportunity to advance.

I think the hidden cost here, though, is that progression from one stage to another starts to resemble interviewing at a new company, with all the same biases and problems that result from hiring processes in general, with the possible exception that there's more direct information on personality and work ethic that can feed into the pipeline (for better or worse).
They borrowed more than the UI. Google hired one of the chief designers of WebOS to become the chief UI designer of Android (Matthias Duarte).

That is actually a great idea.

The best way to build a bridge between peoples is through culture, and food is an important part of culture.

The next step in bridge building is sharing meals with people of other cultures. Starting or strengthening friendships around food is a great way to lessen the power of prejudices, and put aside our national identities for the benefit of sharing a common bond as humans through our cultural identities.

Edit: even though the stated reason in the article has a political motive, I still think it helps at a human level.
7 Employee Practices That Will Make You a ‘Superboss’
> On the other, when there is a vulnerability in a major library we would have to wait for every application to be updated, if they're even being maintained.

Yes, that's a drawback, but how often is there a major library that shouldn't be part of the set of libraries included as part of the base OS install? And for the ones that aren't, if the vendor chooses not to update at least you have the option of continuing to use, or not, the older version on your own terms instead of having it broken by the package manager when a dependant library is swapped out from under it.

We live with this sort of thing every day in real world business and it honestly hasn't been a big deal.
As I understand it those forced acceptances aren’t actually GDPR compliant, and are mostly a result of bad business practices on behalf of the companies who won’t comply with EU law.

I might be wrong though, and even if I’m not, it’ll probably still take a few years to actually change because legislators move slowly.
Lady of Ice by fancy is a good start
chiming in to agree here.

for something along the lines of basic organ system operation like blood flow, you need only a small sample to show that there is an effect.

example: a sample of 12 people would be more than enough to prove that people bleed if they are cut. you could look at a sample of 10k people just to be sure -- but you're not going to learn anything new. the experimental measurement of the variable is too high level.

the point of this study is to corroborate past research and provide another avenue of future investigation. if a future study finds that the inverse is true, we now have reason to be suspicious of that study's conclusions.

Guess it depends heavily on classes. For the math oriented classes, I found taking notes from what the lecturer wrote on blackboard/overhead to be invaluable.

I very often did not have to look at the notes afterwards, but I _had_ to write them in order to remember. If I didn't write it down, I only recalled a fraction of it.

Of course, pacing is important, so that I could think about what was said and written, without having to overcommit to either. This is why PowerPoint doesn't work for me, as I have to chose to spend my mental capacity turning the PowerPoint into lecture notes, or listen. I can't seem to do both at the same time.

There are several linux distros, I'm a single OSS developer. I once tried making my program available for Debian (deb), Ubuntu (ppa) and Fedora (rpm). I ended up supporting only AUR. There are too many differences in packaging managers, different requirements, too many websites I have to register on, too many config files for each distro. Support from people who work as packagers is non-existent, questions on SO out of date, error and warning from packaging software misleading or completely useless. It's a huge mess, and if you think existing system is better than Flatpak/Snap/AppImage, I'm sure you haven't tried porting your software to top 6 distributions. Also, enjoy dependency hell, Debian has old Qt and PA, Mint has PA compiled without noise-cancelling flags, Ubuntu had SQLite3 with not working encryption, Fedora had backported Qt5 patch (old Qt with latest patch) witch fixed one issue, but broke CSS on Cancel/OK button group.

I welcome AppImage and Flatpak.
I had always assumed that many Asian themed restaurants added Thai menu items because it was trendy/popular. It's common to see sushi at Chinese, Korean, or pan-Asian restaurants.

Also, where I live, many specific Latin American restaurants (Peruvian, Costa Rican, etc) have started offering burritos and hot salsa, even though it's not typical of their cuisine.
Dude, seriously. Flatpak has issues, but saying "Packaging was a solved issue" when every distro rolls out its own packaging system is the reason we can't have nice things.

If every distribution was using the same packaging system, would they still be separate distributions?

EDIT: By packaging system I assumed we meant the same repositories, and packages. Since that is how Flatpak seems to work.
I have been to Thailand about 5 times since 2006. In fact, I'm writing this from the airport returning from Bangkok this evening.

One thing I've noticed over the past decade is that the diversity of tourists has changed dramatically over the years. The first time I went to Thailand I saw mostly Americans, Australians, and Europeans. Nowadays its common to see people from all over the middle-east, Africa, South America, and of course the rest of Asia (China and Japan in particular). I was even surprised to see a Vietnamese tour group at Suvarnabhumi today (interesting to see Vietnamese with the disposal income to travel and the interest to travel to their next door neighbor). Just goes to show everyone loves Thailand.

These are all quite a lot harder to use than Go, and often they don't play well together. For example, there are lots of sync libraries (the Docker API, the AWS SDK, etc) that can't be turned async, so other folks have had to go through the trouble of forking and porting to async and since those other folks are often not affiliated with the original dev teams, who knows what the quality level of those libraries may be? We've also had a lot of problems with asyncio alone--often developers forgetting to await an async call or doing something (I'm not sure what exactly) that causes processes to hang indefinitely. It's all quite a lot more complex than Go's concurrency model.

And all of that is really just I/O parallelization; there's also CPU parallelization, and I don't believe Python has anything that's quite as easy as "Do these two things in parallel". Pretty much everything requires a lot of marshalling and process management which can easily slow a program down instead of improving it.

Python is great for a lot of things, and the community has found many creative workarounds for its shortcomings, but Go beats Python in I/O and CPU parallelism handily.
Which kind of amazes me that it wasn't obvious. When I start to think of vision recognition issues, poor conditions, missing signs, markings, etc., unpredictable human drivers... then all of the edge cases I alone have seen in 30 years of driving... I would definitely have put the problem on the very edge of what might be solvable. And that's today, not 10 years ago. What amazes me more is that companies like Google have come as far as they have. My kudos to those who sought to tackle it.

That's entirely your decision to make.

But if your question is if some huge changes have come to pass, alas nothing significant has changed in a real sense.

You'd think that based around the context of my statements that I'm not an unaware bystander and that I might already know something about Augur, what their tech is and who is involved in it. Guess not.

"I knew he was abusive and manipulative with his staff. I knew he was an asshole." So what? Pretty common in every corporate ladder. Pretty human actually.

Jobs wasn't a genius, but a great entrepreneur. He was fired at Apple, founded NEXT, that was bought again from the Apple. And Pixar pretty much looks like a side project from Jobs.

That's not a fair comparison. Mt. Gox grew too quickly and couldn't keep up with the massive security requirements for a cryptocurrency exchange. Not to mention they may have had employees embezzling money. Augur has taken years to refine their strategy and do the launch correctly, and the code is working just as expected. There could still be issues like with any innovation but to compare this to Mt. Gox is not at all fair.
I get this glitch too. Nice concept though
The companies who hire illegal immigrants do essentially the same thing. No background check (how could they) or drug test. They just shuffle people in, pay them minimum wage, and they if they mess up or quit showing up they just find some more people off the street. Just bodies to do low-skill, low-paying work.
The only issue on the table is, what are the job and my skills worth? How I spend the money, as a job candidate, is an irrelevant personal question.

The employer is the one bringing the job and money to the table. I'm bringing skills and the potential for success to the table. No employer would imagine they could not describe the job, why is it they can imagine they can not describe the money? Its all in their court.

I'm with the folks who are suggesting, say nothing about the money, let them do the talking.

Well, looking at the procedure for Snap [1] there's no review at all. Flatpak [2] defers to Flathub [3] which has some sort of review: a pull request on Github but I'm not sure how thorough that is. Traditional package repositories have a review phase before you can get your package into the system (that's how it is with Debian at least).

It's a very reasonable assumption. When self driving cars give up, they give you a second or less to assess the situation around you and avert disaster. This is now well understood to be less safe than just 100% manual driving since your attention is then on the road at all times instead of inevitably wandering when the car is doing just fine 99% of the time. Don't forget that Wayomo killed off their SAE-2 test program after finding drivers were falling asleep at the wheel of these 99.0% autonomous cars.

And to build a self driving system that can give you a reasonable time to actually assess the situation and respond to it? That's the same system that's 99.9999% reliable.

This is the crux of why self driving cars will simply not work in the foreseeable future unless sequestered to their own tightly controlled road networks.
