Smartphones are great for books, but you need an OLED screen (and hence no backlight). I was a very early adopter of eInk tech - got into it when Chinese started making the first affordable alternatives to the very first Kindle. It was great, but eventually, the smartphone won out of sheer convenience - it's always there in the pocket with me, so whenever I have to wait on the go, I can just whip it out and continue reading.

It is entirely out of the realm of possibility.

There is absolutely no way in hell that even ten engineers for a couple of months could replicate all of Slack's functionality. Even ten times that much would be a stretch.

They could maybe make a decent chat app prototype in that amount of time. If they are very talented, they might even be able to make a decent chat app MVP that would get some actual users, but there is absolutely no way that they could replicate all of Slack's functionality.
Sorry man, communist or socialist utopias have never and will never exist. There’s too much history as proof to ever conclude the opposite in human nature.
Those who recall Web Hosting Talk might remember that the term “unlimited” was banned from postings. The correct term is “unmetered” as unlimited data is a physical impossibility (“Infinite bytes, please!”). But it’s possible to have a shared bandwidth (potentially subject to throttling) which isn’t metered so you’re not subject to charges for your usage.

I don't think it's about regulating words. If you promise to sell a blue dog but sell a green dog, I don't expect a regulation saying blue has to be blue.

Even if a platform tends to encourage meanness, stupidity, and radicalization, the specific direction that takes can depend more on founder effects. I don't know of any interaction design that made Tumblr in particular so radically left-wing.

It's also easier for a nice community to become mean than for a mean community to become nice, so maybe give Mastodon some time and exposure and see what happens.

> Like they're afraid to be serious for a moment (so many exclamation marks).

I rarely speak with enthusiasm... but teaching or explaining programming to people just gets me really, really excited. Putting myself in the shoes of a novice who is about to have some realization about the nature of an algorithm makes me shiver with anticipatory glee.

It's hard not to put that into my writing. It's not fake in the slightest—it's the only time I can let it shine through just how much I love this stuff, and it'd be fake to hide it. Even the constant "cute analogies" are part-and-parcel of this exuberance—symptoms of temporary hypomania brought about during the writing process.

Certainly, I could go back and edit all this stuff away. But, really, should I? I never had a role-model who was as excited about programming as I am. I wish I had had one. I, therefore, find it hard to restrain myself from being that person for others.

I think this is good advice for learning any topic in general. Learn from a diverse range of sources.

When I was first learning to code I can remember deciding to stick with one learning resource so as to not overwhelm myself. Eventually I hit a road block and wasn’t able to push past it. I blamed myself for not being able to understand what I was reading. I wasn’t smart enough.

When I tried again years later, instead of sticking with one resource I flicked between several different ones at once. Seeing how different people explained the same concept was extremely helpful in getting things to “click”.
Perhaps the smart thing would be to practice in situations where an error does not cause someone else to get electrocuted.

Dividing by ~80 instead of 100 lets most people eat 1 point per hour. I've been working on this to replace my "cheeseburger equivalent scale".[0] With this system, add kcal/80 to the current hour, and that says when you should eat again. For example, if it's 8am and you eat 400 kcals, add (400/80)+10 = 15 or about 3pm is when you should eat again.

[0]Cheeseburger Equivalent scale:

- Average plain cheeseburger = 350 kcals. (Not a Whopper, Big Mac, or any deluxe burger - this is a "Where's the Beef" cheeseburger.)

- You get 6-7 cheeesburgers per day. And no other food.

- Trade 1 cheeseburger for 1 item of equal calories. Examples: Slice of pizza, Donut, 24 oz soda/beer, 5 chicken wings, etc.
I wonder how many people read the article to the end, let alone the addendum filed by SCCFD [1].

This has nothing to do with the definition of "unlimited" or the fine print for it. OES 5262 (that's a CalOES resource) had sufficient bandwidth for fire response needs up until the Mendocino Complex incident, when their connection was strangled so badly that it wasn't just slow, it was unusable, during a major state disaster. This put a lot of lives directly at risk.

Their brief is arguing in support of the lawsuit against the FCC that's attempting to overturn the repeal of net neutrality. They argue that in a deregulated environment, providers like Verizon can and will use disasters to strong-arm responding agencies -- state and local governments -- into paying higher fees. This is well supported by Verizon's emails, which flatly refused to assist SCCFD until they ponied up the extra money for a plan upgrade that they didn't need until the Mendocino fire.

The article also adds that the FCC's removal of net neutrality removed the ability for SCCFD to complain to the FCC about this behavior.

A few people are saying that maybe the fire department should have more carefully reviewed their plan information, or they should have had more qualified people in IT. Well, maybe. I looked up Eric Prosser's LinkedIn profile, and he's spent his whole career in management. Maybe there was a technical issue, or maybe it was just an oversight.

But ultimately it's hard for agencies to attract strong technical talent, especially in Silicon Valley, where so much of that talent is working on the much more interesting problems of squeezing more money out of advertising or debt collections. If you want your first responder agencies to have working technology, get involved. Somewhere in each of those agencies is a human being who may not think about things like bandwidth throttling as carefully as HN's nerds.

It's pretty much like SNAP, as I said, minus ideological cruft. SNAP is means tested and cash-like. Farmers are lobbying for more SNAP? Do you have some references about that? I haven't been able to find much. You get to buy most non-prepared food on the open market, it's not like you stand in line to receive a government-procured potato. As to 'enormous bureaucracy' - over 93% of SNAP funds go to directly to benefits. As far as I can tell, your idea is pretty similar to SNAP but you don't want to say it is because, I dunno, government and welfare are bad. That is, in the words of political economist W. Sobchak, an ethos but it's not all that much of a serious argument.

If your work laptop is issued by your company and you work on side projects whose IP you want to continue to fully own, you need a separate home device. Surely you don’t want your employer to have ownership over your personal emails? Your contract may even have policies that when read closely or interpreted conservatively prohibit doing things like social media browsing, gaming, or online shopping on your work computer.

Even if you’re founding your own startup, keeping IP separate can be worthwhile from a legal and governance perspective.

I find it can also help with getting into work vs relaxation mindsets to configure the UIs a little differently to create a sense of boundaries between the two.
I wonder if it will follow the path of Android: start with a huge open source base and some propriety bits on top, and as they go on, move more and more of the functionality to the propriety part until the open source part is useless by itself.
> The same argument could justify slavery.

Not to be pedantic, but this is slavery, allowed by our own constitution. Of course this argument is used to justify it although under the law, no justification is needed. What we need to do is to get rid of slavery altogether in America in 2018 and beyond. It's ridiculous that we call out other countries for human rights abuses while we have slavery all throughout our prisons, especially in the south (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and Texas).
Theia IDE folks are working on this as well. They have a very similar project/product. I'm curious how much of the work is overlapping...

It's important to keep in mind that most people never know what other systems are like and so don't know what they're missing when they're missing it. I similarly reflect positively on the stunning relative clarity of freemobile in France selling 50GB high speed plans with free international data roaming for like 20 Euros per month. And now it's 100GB for the same. In the US for that price Verizon won't even spit on you.
Yes, Datomic is the killer app for Clojure [^1]. Have a look at Datascript[^2] and Mozilla's Mentat[^3], which is basically an embedded Datomic in Rust.

Hickey's Spec-ulation keynote is probably his most controversial talk, but it finally swayed me toward dynamic typing for growing large systems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk

The Clojure build ecosystem is tough. Ten years ago, I could not have wrangled Clojure with my skillset - it's a stallion. We early adopters are masochists, but we endure the pain for early advantages, like a stable JavaScript target, immutable filesets and hot-reloading way before anyone else had it.

Is it worth it? Only if it pays off. I think ClojureScript and Datomic are starting to pay off, but it's not obvious for who - certainly not very ever organisation.

React Native? I tore my hair out having to `rm -rf ./node-modules` every 2 hours to deal with breaking dependency issues.

Whenever I try to use something else (like Swift), I crawl back to Clojure for the small, consistent language. I don't think Clojure is the end-game, but a Lisp with truly immutable namespaces and data structures is probably in the future.

I also found them interesting. However, regarding costs I found the direct opposite: the pricing is far too high. Might make sense in SF, not globally. I emailed their team expanding on this. We pay less than half those rates for design, fabrication, testing, high quality English documentation and delivery inclusive. I suggested they generate high quality documentation as well as the PCB and consider lead times to different parts of the world.

What does it mean for an autopilot to fail, in this case? We're not talking about an automatic guidance system, like in fixed-wing aircraft. We're talking about a thing that translates high-level commands on the stick to low-level commands to the motors, like a car's automatic transmission.

Cars with automatic transmission don't have a "backup manual transmission" for when the automatic transmission fails. The automatic transmission doesn't fail.
What am I missing?

The article starts out talking about the airport being surrounded by shacks. Airports cause tremendous air pollution and noise pollution.

The shacks are likely concentrated in areas that wealthier people generally wouldn't want to live as those areas tend to take a toll on health no matter how nice the building.

There is plenty of evidence that poor people generally live in places with serious environmental issues which negatively impact their health. This just compounds their poverty by adding medical expenses and reducing productivity.

I think we need to rewrite budding codes to say, in essence, that you can live in a small space, but it needs to be one that doesn't harm your health. This would eliminate one of the mist profound differences between rich and poor, a difference that helps keep poverty entrenched.

> If the only people going to prison were rapists, we wouldn't have the largest prison population in the developed world as an absolute and a percentage of our population.

That's not the point though, it's that no distinction is being drawn here. We already put a considerable effort into predicting recidivism, but people in this thread seem to assume that the majority, or all prisoners warrant an expensive supported release, despite the obvious likelihood that a certain number are virtually guaranteed to want to reoffend, and would use any resources they're given to do so.

As much as anyone, I am against the excessive policies which force fine people into a lifetime of criminality. However that problem can not be solved with release policy, it has to be solved in criminal law.

New Yorkers, don't seem to bring issues like their ridiculous knife laws (which frequently target innocent people who use folding knives at work; knives which are sold openly in major cities) to the ballot; many states chock full of people who complain about excess imprisonment don't vote on issues surrounding the policies and law which make soft recreational drugs an underground criminal enterprise, and produce unexpected black markets in services like hair styling.

Ironically, the people who complain about the prison population most vocally, are frequently the same people who say "there ought to be a law!" whenever the slightest issue arises in public life.
>they’ll probably be forced to steal to survive after release

Given the welfare system and what I've seen of crime stats, my impression is that crimes that could be described as "stealing to survive" are nearly non-existent. Even mentally ill homeless people rarely "steal to survive". The soup kitchen, subsidized apartment and welfare cheque are a lot easier.

And anyway, how many times do you need to shoplift bread from the market before you get sent to prison? Is such a thing even possible?

People commit prison-worthy crimes because they need a lot of money fast for drugs, or out of anger or for revenge or over gang disputes and personal disputes. "Stealing to survive" doesn't really exist in developed countries, so your argument makes no sense.

I'd be really interested in any crime stats to support the idea that a substantial number of prisoner are there for crimes that were necessary for survival. Do we even send people to prison for crimes like this?
It comes with a bent swizzle spoon just to confuse people.
You are right that they are making something new available, but they are not open sourcing it according to the commonly accepted meaning of the term -- and the original article actually says "... any software under this new license is non-open source by definition".

Now you might think that commercial use is a small semantic detail. But it is one that the open source / free software community has always insisted on, up to and including left-loonies like Stallman.

Of course none of this means that it is wrong or unfair of RedisLabs to do this. It merely means that what they are doing is not open sourcing anything.
I don't even understand how the fire department was able to get such a plan in the first place. Nor sure about the US, but where I am, there are consumer plans which are cheap because they are oversold in hope that the consumer won't use the bandwidth all the time―and then there are company plans that cost at least 10x more but have guaranteed speed. And you can't buy a consumer plan for a company.

Selling plans with consumer-oriented limitations to companies sounds inane to me, it's just headache waiting to happen, or a shot in a leg like we see here.
The article makes it seem like Verizon told them it would not be throttled.
"We made a mistake in how we communicated with our customer about the terms of its plan"
Spot on daenz. As with everything, as long as people (if we can call those who work in HR people - see: 'note' below) allow consideration and thoughtfulness to guide their policies and practices, things will usually be agreeable for all involved.

Speaking from experience, shooting 1~2 very detailed hypothetical situations (i.e. 'homework') to a candidate 1 hour prior to their interview and asking them to think of responses to a few 'hard questions' that they will be asked to 1) answer and 2) explain their reasoning during the interview tends to work well. This usually reduces candidate anxiety, helps the evaluating committee get a better look at the candidate's approach to problem solving and validates (or not) their previous experiences, and improves the flow and time management of interview itself.
