I'm a C# developer who has been learning React for the past year, and it really is an exhaustive job to look for the right JS library for every case, this is my process:

1. Facing a code task.

2. Asking myself, should I reinvent the wheel or should I look for a library?

3. Google for libraries solving the task, open at least 5 npm/github tabs.

4. For every tab, I should make sure the library is not too big for my needs/popular/still being maintained/not too many open issues.
-Closing the tabs that didn't pass this step.

5. Taking a look at documentation/examples to determine if it can solve my problem.
-Closing the tabs that didn't pass this step.

6. Testing the library and see if I can make it work.

7. Implement it in my project.

It's a really different environment, and it has its advantages, it's just that Microsoft has spoiled me a little with their out of the box implementations.
Question: can SodaStream carbonate arbitrary liquids like orange juice, or just pure water? If it can only carbonate water, which you then mix with flavoring, what’s the advantage over bottled seltzer from the store?
Certainly archaeology could demonstrate disease if human remains were found. But like all things that outlive us, we forget that cities aren't permanent. Perhaps they moved on because the grass was greener elsewhere (there was a 'Little Ice Age' in 1650), or maybe political strife split their loyalties.

What will become of a hundred thousand towns across the world as the temperatures rise and their water dries up?
The guidelines also ask you not to insinuate astroturfing or shillage without evidence. People having opposing views is not evidence of anything other than that a topic is divisive. Mixing in accusations of astroturfing is like adding saltpeter to a fire. It's a toxic internet move, so please refrain from it here.

People tend to find the bias they are looking for through a big serving of...selection bias.
This rant seems out of character, but personally I appreciate it. People are always suggesting getting rid of cron, but I have always liked and trusted it. I prefer using tools that are old, battle-tested, and standard, but I do try to appreciate the advantages of new things. Cron seems to be a favorite target of NIH, for as long as I remember but especially in these days of "serverless", so it's easy to second-guess my appreciation for it. Thanks for clarifying where their problems really were. There seems to be a common temptation to think a new tool will solve your problems, when really many are in the irreducible specificity of your own code or systems.

EDIT: Oh by the way, Ruby folks struggling with cron might appreciate this: https://github.com/pjungwir/cron2english/
Did you just argue the US is a worse abuser of human rights than China?
How can we volunteer to advise groups who didn't get an existing advisor?
Genuinely curious, how do archaeologists catalogue items found in sand bars? Through correlation with upstream sites? I can't imagine stratigraphy would be terribly helpful.
But legally...he was a criminal (probably).

Just like people who drove 80mph were criminals during the Emergency Highway Energy Conversation Act, but they weren't before or after that.
I disagree that millions of people "lost their homes" in the crash of 2008, as the author states in the introduction. Each word in that is not quite right.

With a No Income, No Job, No Assets loan where the buyer was paying a teaser rate, or in some cases interest only (or less than interest only with negative amortization) the occupant was paying less than they would have had to pay in rent. When the property was foreclosed on, they often remained in the property for a year or more until there was a hearing. Nobody ever paid income tax on the imputed income from the free rent (the unpaid mortgage) during the foreclosure period.

And when the loan was called in, nobody was ever made to pay income tax on the forgiven debt, even though the law requires that they do. The government didn't go after people because it would be an unpopular move.

Most if not all of the people unable to pay their no-verification mortgages actually did quite well. They lived in a big house for a couple of years for less than the cost of rent.

The people who lost were the foolish investors who invested in these terrible loans, the people whose pension funds invested in then, and most of all the True Taxpayers (those 5% of people who may more in taxes than they take in services and entitlements) who paid for all of this and are still paying.
Ask HN: Self hosting video lessons?
If you self host video lessons both free and paid, what platform or system do you use?

I have always wanted to create some learning content as video, but I would prefer to keep it all on my own domain.

If this is true, then how do you explain where it says in the article they sold the fewest macs for the quarter since 2010?
Overheard: “this thing has more translation steps than C??”
Indeed, I couldn't help but think the title was clickbait, once I read that part of the article.

The charts toward the start suggest the penalty maximums are 15% + 25% (the article mentions a 100% penalty which was avoided).

That would make 500k 140% of the back taxes, which means the penalties are only $143k.

Crunchbase shows the first funding in Feb 2012. The accountant started in 2014. That's under $72k/year.

"Lack of CFO costs Amicus $72k/year" wouldn't be much of a headline, though.
Sales recruiter here: yep, companies will not sponsor visas for salespeople at all.

Also, New Zealander working on getting his Greencard: it's a real bummer seeing what some of the bigger tech companies have done with the H1B visa in the past 10 years. They've really abused it and ruined it for everyone.

In short, physics.

It's not the PIN they'd have to brute force, but the encryption key... and that's where physics comes in.

No, it's the CBD, and no, I'm not distracted - I know that feeling well :) It's reasonable to be skeptical - I get some kind of pushback every time I mention this.

I'm not high when it happens. And it's not a moment - at least one time was over ten minutes, involved parking a car, doing some shopping and who the fuck knows what else. I spent an hour searching for my car.

And it's never happened, ever, unless I'd smoked high CBD cannabis within the last 24 hours. I've smoke vastly more regular cannabis - but hadn't been, at least during one period when this happened. And, I'm not otherwise prone to this kind of episodic memory problem - as far as I've noticed :) I haven't had one since I stopped trying CBD cannabis.

Fwiw, I've been practicing mindfulness meditation on and off for 20 years. For a couple of years, during a period of disability, I was meditating over an hour each day.
yes. That makes perfect sense...

easy to write and understand is something completely different to correctness, robustness, scalability, etc.
All those must be considered if you think you have 'solved' parallelism, but they are orthogonal to 'easy to understand'.

Religious slurs, and religious flamewar, are a bannable offense here. I'm sure you didn't mean anything huge by it but please don't post like this again.

I only received this email, and no other rejection or acceptance email.

We are deeply sorry, but an error occurred in the software that triggers acceptance emails and you were actually supposed to receive the email below accepting you into the Startup School Advisor Track.

I guess that means, unlike the apparent screwup narrative for others here, we were actually accepted and really did make the cut.
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. …” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about 100 miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?”

Then it was quiet again. My attorney had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. “What the hell are you yelling about?” he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. “Never mind,” I said. “It’s your turn to drive.” I hit the brakes and aimed the Great Red Shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
I totally agree! I am very excited to see how the community evolves.
It should be possible to design floating trash collecting buoys in swimming areas that would gather trash due to wave action, no power or active mechanisms needed.

Perhaps someone would go by and empty them every morning.

Hotels and resorts on beaches would love to have something like this.
It's not. Plenty of people read what you wrote and understood it for how you meant it and also understood that the person who responded to you wildly distorted your point. You're not going to find a good conversation there. Its very sad that this type of distortion happens so often, but we live in a world where some people don't appreciate subtle truths.
Yea. It's just adding pressure to liquid. You can carbonate whatever you want in it. Tried it was apple juice once and it was neat, but ended up really using it almost exclusively for carbonated water.
> The Visa lottery system keeps workers locked into lower paying wages that what they could get as full citizens under the same exact circumstances.

FYI - you can switch jobs in H1B. I don't live in the USA, but everyone I know who is from my home country (India) and is on a H1B and in tech, have switched jobs atleast once (mostly between FB, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Amazon).

OTOH, if you're talking about L1 Visa (which is NOT a lottery system), then everyone I know who is on L1 (interestingly they are all at Amazon and Microsoft), then I agree - none of them have switched jobs so far.
Unlike real art, computers can produce a trillion unique works an hour. This will apply to all forms of art in the future, including stories, music and movies. So where is the scarcity?
Great article. I’ve struggled with the good vs. bad when it comes to cannabis.

I’m usually wildly productive, I’ll clean my entire house and get a bunch of other things done when I smoke cannabis. I’m much more balanced and my wife says I’m friendlier and more considerate. Otherwise, I tend to have a negative outlook on things and am apt to have emotional outbursts such as anger. I don’t know. I want it to be the miracle drug so I hate to think of it in a negative light even though I am a firm believer in scientific findings and would be disappointed if it were anything less.

Not only that, but just ssh'ing in and blindly rerunning the failed job isn't the answer anyway. Research why it failed. If the job has to write a file on a full disk, you can rerun that thing a hundred times and it will never work. I'm sure they must have missed something from their write up as I can't imagine that's their on call playbook.
Thank you for sharing the link.
this class of substances is the worst of all the drug problems, except possibly alcohol...
Let's see what they do for the real YC W19 :D
I'm not sure who's worse but the case can definitely be made. There's the direct killings from questionable wars like Iraq and Guantanamo Bay but usually the US will prop up some dictator (again like Iraq) to do their dirty work for them.
Use gradient checkpointing.
When a relative entered into the advertising business out of college she would tell me all about the tricks they did to make foods look good in the photo shoots.

No, legally people who are convicted of crimes are criminals.
On remote beaches I have visited in Australia there are large items but nothing like the amount of small items in this photo. I wonder if you could use machine learning to automatically classify plastic in photos like this based on color and shape. People could then submit all photos like this from all over the world to build a database of plastic levels, which could be used with ocean currents to provide source information. Maybe it has happened.
Thanks for the links. I suppose the appropriate action would have been to not perpetuate/exacerbate the cycle of negative selective recall and perception.

Although it did make for some good faith debating, I'll refrain from doing so in the future... for as long as I can, at least :)
It goves me an appreciation for the energy required to lift something heavy out of Earth’s gravity, as well as the expense. It makes missions to Mars, or even economical asteroid mining seem further and further away.
At least for me the prompt isn't a one time thing, unless you consent to enabling telemetry. I get asked whether I want to enable it all the time when logging in.
you can use logspout to send docker logs anywhere
Thanks for posting this; I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who sees it. More likely, most people see it but are just not the ones who feel motivated to comment—for the same reason as the original phenomenon.

This polarization has always showed up here but in the last year or so it seems to be upticking around nationalistic questions. We may be in for rougher waters.
Fair enough, yeah - proper lighting even with a smartphone on a tripod would go a long way
as is plainly stated by the literature and companies that make them, benzos are not supposed to be used for long lengths of time. these people you talk of are abusing them by definition.
Thanks; you've already stood out by not immediately accusing the mods of being pro- or anti-$topic. Appreciated!
Never mind: you can very probably find a security vulnerability that you can exploit to take over the machine so you can maintain it all yourself.
(For background, I was responsible for figuring out GDPR compliance in a past job, so I've picked through the literal text and a lot of interpretations of it.)

I think there's a spectrum, but I think the vast majority of the cookie notices I've encountered have been implemented in a sneaky way that runs counter to the spirit of the law.

The spirit of the law is that sites should explain how the data is used in a way that the layperson can understand, and it should be clear to the layperson that (in most cases) the site is legally obligated to give you a way to say "no."

As it stands, most GDPR notices give you a choice between "OK" and "more info" (where the "no" option is hidden) or between "Yes" and a subtle X in the upper left (because upper right would be too obvious). And they don't tell you that by clicking "Yes", you are consenting to having your information brokered and sold to innumerable advertisers.

I think that's a dirty UX trick, and that for the purposes of getting consent the "no" button actually should be an obvious "no" button.

The reason the badge isn't possible is that GDPR did the right thing to enforce privacy by default, and all of the sites that want to monetize your data for advertising have to get your explicit consent. So you get all of these notices because they have to and want to ask you. Were it not for advertising, you GDPR would have been a pretty peaceful transition with a few exceptions like "oh yeah we keep crash reports, you're okay with that right?"
I know about cri-o for the server, but are there any good alternatives for local development?
What art would that be? Part of art is not just the physical piece but the message it delivers, or a message that can be interpreted in many ways. Computer generated images can learn to do the aesthetic part but if the piece has no human context from which it comes nor has anything to say, how would that be art? Why did the computer create the image, and what is it trying to tell us with it?
Officially, just pure water.

Unofficially, you can hack it [1].

Back in 2015, there were plans to unveil something that could officially do more [2], but that seems to not be for the consumer market.

Bit on the weirder submissions for YC but our family genome sequencing facility is generating more than $500/mo on the side.

Currently growing at over 100% YOY (somewhere around 26% QOQ), closed out our last month at over $23k, and on pace to do somewhere between $350-400k. This is not an easy side project and there's been an insane amount of learnings on both the wet lab and informatics side. We've had some set backs but it's worth it when we get to hear what sort of life changing (literally) work we get to contribute.

If the us tried to become your ideal world, you would lose a huge chunk of the doctors you have, and the amount of medical services you would provide will be lower than it is today.
For JVM (Java, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, etc), Quartz with JDBC (backed by DB instead of in-memory) works best for us.
Why adding bugs to software can make it safer
There was a story about toggles in apis on HN a few months ago [1][2], basically the toggle function was called for the garage door, which is clearly not idempotent, rather than an action like open/close so that is wasn't repeated. The toggle action led to opening and closing of the door repeatedly. Non idempotent requests are especially bad when tied to real physical machinery.

SPAs too, it will depend on every project, of course, but a lot of projects don't actually need a REST API, and don't need a client side SPA with all the bindings and parameters coming and going, a lot of projects will be perfectly fine with server rendering.

I'm not trying to argue. I'm trying to terminate a cliche.
Critical thinking is what your "one step thinkers" are missing. It's an academic tangent to the grotesque topic at hand, but I think there's a dearth of critical thinking in modern society because all our brains are being DDOS'd with smartphones, social media, 24 hour news, etc...
Like the vast majority of software engineers, my work is not open source.

But since you seem like arguments from authority, I've got around 25 years experience in software ranging from hard-real-time embedded defence software to safety-critical train braking systems.

I've architected and implemented software on servers, desktops, embedded and mobile platforms.

Have you investigated that GI issue in depth? You could have Celiac, Crohn's, or a number of other issues. Covering up the symptoms with cannabis sounds like a surefire way to risk some sort of GI cancer down the road.

My family has a long history of GI issues that went unidentified and untreated for several years. They're extremely damaging over time. If you're constantly uncomfortable you should really diagnose the root cause ASAP.
I don’t agree that Chinese labour is cheaper is because the government forces people work for low salaries. Sure there is a lot of intervention, but that’s a stretch. In any case, using your example, there are Indian, Vietnamese and Turkish workers that are willing to do the work Cisco needs at a cheaper price than Cisco is required to pay in America. If Cisco doesn’t recruit them, a competitor does and that competitor gains a material advantage over Cisco. Some companies and industries can absorb the inefficiency better than others, and it might not kill them immediately, but in the long run forcing your country’s businesses to operate uncompetitively is very bad.
Yep that is true, our jobs have no forward or reverse dependencies, no knowledge of what came first or what is next. Just a scheduler. If I picked up an open source tool, our company would be in process hell including managing how to integrate it with our stack.

I don't know why you would mention this because you don't have the requirements I have. If I had solved all scheduling needs for all people in 114 lines of code I would have written so.

>I (and I think a lot of others) would be pretty disappointed if the TI showmatch happened with the turbo mode couriers still enabled.

Totally agree. This one change alone is _so central_ to both the bots laning strategies and meta-game team strategies. They can't just leave heroes in lanes forever no matter what, and have all 5 heroes literally never go back to the well if there aren't 5 couriers. Not to mention their initial item builds, stats-only-4-man-the-lane-for-first-blood bullshit wouldn't work at all without constant ferrying of regen on the couriers.
genocide: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group

Kidnapping a single ethnic group from their homeland and accepting that some percentage of them will die while transporting them in cages sure sounds like genocide.

What incentive do hospitality services have to perform this on bodies of water they do not have control of? Won’t it just be swapped with the same quality of water the next day?
Absolutely. It's like a mirror that helps keep you on one track. I need to be relaxed/stress-free to be in the mood for that, though.
Yep, not there. Probably GMail's fault not yours, it's been randomly dropping emails recently (have same addresses since 1990s ... heaps of spam .. apparently exceeded daily limits for free GMail tier) so I am in the process of attempting migration to Fastmail. Unfortunately they don't allow Chinese phone numbers to sign up, and their SMS never arrives at my HK number, sigh. Nothing ever easy.
It's not, and the parent reply was uncharitable, yet I can understand why someone would feel revulsion at your post. It feels a bit like a parlor game with numbers. Not technically wrong, let's say—but so incongruent with what it's talking about as to leave one feeling chilled and dehumanized. In that way it does come across as minimizing.
