Especially since it is practically impossible to delete anything there intentionally.
Overabundance of choice means classics have a much harder time bubbling up organically. If everything can be published, since the costs in this day and age are greatly reduced, nothing is filtered, signal to noise ratio is much lower, and there are many signals available, which one(s) do you bandpass? It used to be editors and similar other tastemakers that filtered any media, but they don't get paid well anymore.
It's hard to quit anything you've invested time and energy into, especially when it involves relationships with other people. Only way to get better at it, though, is to do it, however hard it is. I awkwardly (and abruptly) quit my first job (for another one) and later ran into my old manager. She brought up how awkward it was, and I replied that I should have done it better. The thing is, I think it was mostly out of shyness, or worry about disappointing someone. But I think that you learn by doing. You get better at framing it correctly, or dealing with objections, and you can quit in a way that brings closure to both parties. People from my past often pop back into it from time to time. It's important to try to leave on good terms whenever possible.
DDG is getting better with time. I completely switched to DDG about 2 years ago.

I tried Google search recently and found its results are less relevant and presented in an awkward form where I cannot copy result's URL (searched for a technical paper). DDG is clear winner.

I find that Google is actually losing ground as the all-seeing-eye-reference-objective-truth due to the increasingly tailored searches. I can no longer refer to a search query and expect a peer to see the same results as I do. This social bubble phenomenon, while no doubt convenient, is sometimes a burden, and with their stricter privacy policy DDG actually has some ground to gain here. Using DDG is more like tuning in to good old ether radio instead of browsing through podcasts. I find that comforting, that break from a claustrophobic solipsist trend.
On DDG I also get the Python library as first and Apache Kafka as second result.

> (and this prompted him to replace the manual versions with the robots on a faster schedule, since clumping litter is a non-zero expense)

Interesting. How expensive is cat litter where he lives? For me, it is indeed a non-zero expense, but also mostly unnoticeable one. Definitely not worth replacing with a robot that'll most likely take more than a year to pay itself back - and I don't expect this kind of tech to run continuously for a year without major, expensive breakage.

It can do any of those or the opposite. The effect of the signals from one neuron depend on the properties of the receiving neuron.

Ie, the same neurotransmitter released can be "excitatory" to neighboring neurons in one case and "inhibitory" in the next: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030645221...
> Really, what percentage of people at Facebook do you think believe that stuff?

The very act of filtering against it at recruitment and when it occurs in the workplace /is/ "politics". And post-Weinstein scandal it's disingenuous to think that the workplace can't have such a toxic culture. Just the other day a Riot employee's post about Riot's uncomfortable "bro culture" was discussed on HN.
It's not groundbraking. At the time the iPhone was announced, I still used a Sony Ericsson 530i. And that was a normal mobile phone back then (nothing fancy, just normal). And although the software on the iPhone was basically just a browser (even without copy/paste, which amused me to no end), it was a browser that displayed proper HTML, not that mangled mess you got from Symbian phones.

Compare this to Linux: It started out very obscure, lagged behind in usability for years and finally managed to catch up. But now, at this point, everyone is so used to Windows (including the crap) that the general response is "meh, it's good enough". Plus, no Linux driven company will ever start a marketing campaign that comes anywhere near what Apple did back in the day.

Edit: Also, since you mentioned BB: From my perspective, they also never did usability right. Before the iPhone, Nokia was the usability king (at least in my circle of usage), but Ericsson and BB weren't that bad compared to them. That changed rapidly after capacitive touchscreens were widespread in consumer grade electronics.
Well, we can read the database at any point-in-time by selecting the branch and commit number. So it is similar to a snapshot. And yes, it is a type of Snapshot Isolation or MVCC (Multi Version Concurrency Control) but more than that because we can have concurrent readers on different branches.
I think that there is no better alternative to Rails to write the back-end for web/mobile applications in a very efficient and maintainable way, unless you have very demanding (and uncommon) requirements for performance and "web scale".

I also think that the most important part which is missing to make it even more relevant is a much easier (opinionated, convention-over-configuration and DRY) way to connect rails with React and similar frameworks. Something like generators to synchronise your data with a state manager in the front end (eg Redux). I even have some ideas about this, I just wished I had time to work on it.

”It is still possible that these newly identified neurons will also be found the brains of primates like monkeys or chimps, Lein says.”

Possible and, in my universe, quite a bit more likely than that these cells are “unique to humans” (cursorily reading the paper, these scientists didn’t even look for this type of cell in anything but humans, but only claim that, if rodents had them, they would have been found there, given the amount of time spent looking at rodent brains)

2. In re:

> To dominate their markets means they degrade the value of the written word.

I don't see how you draw that conclusion. Marketing copy is utilitarian. The existence of advertising has nothing to do with literature's value.

3. It's not hard to see the shift in literature's import to our society. There's more media to consume than ever today, and modern storytellers have more ways to convey their ideas than just written literature. If you're going to get gripey about something degrading the written word, ad copy should be at the bottom of your worries and TV / new media is a more likely culprit (...which is kind of the point of the article).

All that said there's a good argument to be made that television is one of the greatest storytelling mediums to date, with unprecedented reach and a lot of expressive latitude for artists.
I know a fair bit about Islam, but I'm always ready with an open mind to hear out different points of view, which is the ultimate topic of this submission. I'm also not even able to downvote, so take that as you will.
I'm not related, but any small ISP is going to need transit. Larger ISPs have pretty high requirements to peer, but random sites will be single homed in those networks; to say nothing of overseas sites.

But, most of the networks that provide the majority of the traffic have pretty open peering policies, and the LA area has a lot of places to peer, and peering places are also usually a reasonable place to get transit so... If you're seeing at least a few gbps from FAANG, they'll peer with you, if you're where they are, and all of them have PoPs in LA, because everyone is there (this is a little circular, LA was highly connected in the PTSN because of population size, and that lead to early internet exchanges and undersea cabling, which leads to more people wanting to be there and so on)

I'd imagine if they have the traffic to justify it, and the space to house it, they'd get the CDN caches. It's a pretty good win, peering is settlement free, but access to the peering point isn't free; keeping traffic from using your ingress capacity is nice (depending on your network architecture anyway)
Ummm what's bizarre is that link doesn't mention they probably were widely popularised by Roald Dahl.

Especially since they use pics in the article from his book?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gremlins

Certainly that's what I think of first, over the film. Especially when talking about aircraft.

In the book they were not bad luck demons, more mischievous. Roald Dahl was a fighter pilot.

I suspect there's more great writing being produced than ever before. I've seen wonderful insight and brilliant craft on random blogs, on people's Tumblr or Medium, on fanfiction sites, on 4chan, even in newspaper comment sections. But the pile of dreck it's buried under is bigger than ever.
Another angle is that I would like to have the right to demand that FB remove any and all mention of me, my handle(s), or posts I have made on any non-FB property.

I would want to ensure that FB can't host data which I submit to twitter/reddit/HN without providing me the authority to be able to request its removal from FB.

I'd think that this could set some precedent to allow for this.

Clearly, though, the FB anti-stance would be that it cannot do so in such granular fashion, which clearly is not true given the fact that any data/posts are tied to both source site and source person...
It's expensive enough to be anything but ssds really. Glacier is more expensive that b2 from backblaze and they use hot storage regular HDDs

And that's not taking into account the extra money Amazon makes from the requests and data transfer that could offset storage costs.

I wouldn't be surprised if the glacier data was mixed right in with s3 storage. Just deprioritized when io is high.

I'm actually feeling google worse every day, I developed a way of searching by only typing important keywords. eg: "js unique array"

Now that's not working well anymore, google is ignoring 2 of 3 keywords to give me a general answer.

And even the search tricks, such as using "" don't work as before.

I think google is using far too much AI in the search is ruining it for me.

I may switch to something else soon.
RDF/OWL, and the various vocabularies built around it.
I've often wondered how feasible it would be to combine thermal storage with battery storage and solar energy production. During the winter such a system could heat water while producing excess solar power and during the summer maybe produce ice with excess solar power during. I wonder if that could be more efficient than storing chemical energy through batteries alone.
> A robotic cat box is a luxury, not a necessity, and when it fails on the "luxury" part

It doesn't really fail on "luxury" part, it simply exploits the fact that if you can afford a luxury cat shit robot, you can also afford buying expensive, DRMed consumables on a regular schedule. Uncharitably, it's parting fools from their money. Charitably, it's making money on your opportunity cost.
Doesn't look like the "slave" as etymology theory is confirmed:

>>>

Medieval Latin, from Late Latin Sclavus, from Byzantine Greek Σκλάβος (Sklábos), probably from the Greek verb σκυλάω (skuláō), a variant of σκυλεύω (skuleúō, “to get the spoils of war”).[1]

The origin of σκλάβος has been disputed historically. Modern etymologists accept that it refers to the spoils of war, as it makes sense morphologically, but there is an obsolete theory that the word comes from plural Σλαβῆνοι (Slabênoi), from Proto-Slavic slověne (plural; the singular form Proto-Slavic slověninъ is derived from it), although this theory requires unexplained and unattested phonetic irregularities. It is argued that that the originally the term referred to Slavs (Old Slavonic словѣнинъ, словѣне), who were often enslaved during the early Middle Ages, and that the originally ethnic term came to have a more general social meaning, possibly around the 9th or 10th century when it appeared in German texts - but nowadays it is commonly regarded that it was only old German propaganda pseudo-etymology.
I'm guessing it may be temporary. Either a by-product of change or intentional(wipe Facebook of the tweets to drive home the message they've eliminated this feature, then silently start displays the old ones in a few months). Seems unlikely that Facebook deleted something.
Honestly, Clang does seem like it would be pretty easy to embed in comparison. They do mention their app is written in C#, and integrating C++ code with it on every platform may carry its own challenges. I know it's relatively easy to do with desktop platforms with Mono and Microsoft .NET just using normal PInvoke, but have no idea about iOS; code signing looks complicated on iOS, though I'm sure you know it inside and out. Either way... yeah, if you consider Clang, it really does appear like a waste of time to write your own C++ compiler, even for just a subset.
300 is kind of a paltry number. One high school’s population, for a medium sized town.

What does it mean to have a monopoly on a product that costs nothing? Saying google has a monopoly on search is akin to saying that Tolkien has a monopoly on high fantasy novels; just because it's the most popular on the market doesn't mean its your only option, and the same is true of search engines.
If the problem is the recommendation system, you can still get recommends the old-fashioned way, like by r/NetflixBestOf. A glaring deficiency for me in Netflix's dashboard are the presence of various consumer opinions and reviews.

If I want a quick-and-dirty prototype or breakout board and I don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks, I use dirtypcbs.com. Always good quality and crazy cheap.

If I want full-up assembled prototypes I use macrofab.com. I can usually get fully assembled prototypes to my door in ~3 weeks for $30-$100/unit. Manufacturing and assembly is so cheap now I don't even bother doing any of it at home anymore and only keep a small stash of parts for troubleshooting/debug in the home lab.
Well, yeah, but ape brains from deceased apes in captivity are probably short-listed for science experiments and not cremation or natural burial.

So it’s probably less difficult than finding a match for an organ donor, no?

I think they have some currency to start a search for samples, with this first stage finding. But really, as we’re finding out, replication will be important too.
Still. If you are innocent, you might not be able to afford the bail and receive irrecoverable financial damage -- lose your job, insurance, etc. (Enter plea agreements...)

If you are guilty, I expect you actually don't want to end up in jail no matter the cost. Let us say you face 10 years in jail, you have actually committed the crime: what are the chances you think you will just take it one step further and ruin your family?
> Twitter removed their app from the Facebook platform which had this as an unfortunate result.

> TechCrunch also heard from a source with understanding of the situation that the deletion of the app took Facebook by surprise, as well as the fact that Twitter didn’t immediately tell them to restore the content

These statements seem to indicate that Twitter was to blame for removing their app. However, from the axios link:

> ...the Twitter app for the Facebook platform was essentially made useless earlier this month once Facebook officially removed the ability to cross-post.

> With the app's sole function eliminated, Twitter decided to delete it from the Facebook platform, having no reason to think that doing so would remove old tweets that were cross-posted.

> It's not clear whether Facebook knew this would happen, either.

Looks like Facebook did not know that Twitter would delete their app, and Twitter did not know that deleting the app would delete the content. I can understand why Facebook would have such a policy for deleted apps, and I can understand why Twitter doesn't want to have a "dead" app that's active on the Facebook platform. They probably just ought to have spoken to each other.
That's mostly true, but only if the temperature difference isn't too high. During the coldest days of winter -- or when boiling water, I'd imagine -- the COP can be as low as 1, ie the same as resistive heating.
If you're interested in sci-fi, for example - literature is the best choice 'cause only 2-3 Cinema/TV projects per year are good.
Sandsifter is dealing with the problem of "how do I find valid instructions in any 1-15 byte sequence, which yields 2^120 combinations?"

In RISC-V there are currently only 2 byte and 4 byte instructions, which you can brute force your way through. The specification does technically allow for longer sequences, in which case sandsifter will work just fine. [And the RISC-v privileged specification has existed for years].
I would answer both of those questions with "sometimes" or "maybe".

Psychedelic experience is often a trigger that allows the one going through it to quickly bypass some (but not all!) obstacles on their Path.

e.g. a single MDMA experience might allow the person going through it to be more forgiving (albeit temporarily!) than they would otherwise have been able to, seeing the value of such a perspective and increasing the likelihood that they will engage in the on-going work that you describe.

As with most experiences, its impact (and duration of) exist on a spectrum.
Nice! I did not know your repo. I guess they have different use cases. Yours is good to store the db inside of a git repo. I had only read about storing the dump of SQL commands on the repo and then use the git diff. But it requires dumping and rebuilding the db each time. LiteTree focuses on very big databases, in which making a file copy is not feasible on a branch creation.
You could easily fit 10PB in the back of a pickup truck (a thousand 10TB hard drives). San Francisco to NYC is a 4 day drive at 12 hours a day.

You're right, keyboard shortcuts only become useful when you spend most of your time in that tool. If the tool is only used occasionally, i too prefer GUIs, because they are easy to get started with.
So, if I'm understanding this correctly:

- Lerna is no longer free software (per the FSF's definitions) or open source software (per the OSI's definitions), so calling it "open source" is inaccurate

- Lerna is effectively illegal to host on GitHub, since its license terms prevent GitHub's parent company (Microsoft) from being able to legally distribute it in source form

- Lerna probably can't relicense anyway without explicit consent from all contributors, since there was no CLA establishing copyright assignment
There's a lot of architectural influence on the new CodeMirror from our ProseMirror work, but the actual systems are different enough that code sharing didn't really work (or, at least, would add enough levels of extra indirection and complexity to the reused code that it's not worth it—code size is a significant cost in JS components)
Pulling from a Git remote
Some datapoints:

* Many of my conversations with friends now go "did you see that new show X on netflix?" << Usually I reply that I did! Usually because it was conveniently recommended to me or advertised to me when I turned on the TV before bed.

* I got turned onto the japanese reality TV show "Terrace House" thanks to a NYT op ed https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/25/magazine/letter-of-recomm...

* NYT book review and the front bookcase of today's bookstores still have impact. I buy books based on that sometimes.

* Amazon's best sellers list is important now the same way netflix's front page is important; if you open your kindle or go to buy books on amazon, you'll get recommendations.

* My youtube habits are mostly thanks to subscriptions + recommended videos based on my watch history and subscriptions.

> If everything can be published, since the costs in this day and age are greatly reduced, nothing is filtered, signal to noise ratio is much lower, and there are many signals available, which one(s) do you bandpass?

To me it definitely seems like my bandpass is a mix of old tastemakers + recommendation algos, the algos being the relatively new addition.
Initially I thought this was commissioned advertising, and it did read as such.

However, the ex-CEO has mentioned that it only operates for existing customers (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17865294), which conflicts with that view somewhat, so maybe this isn't an ad.

In any case; where can I view 1995 copies of NYT for free? :)
