That's just more work for the ATM owner, determining whether to confiscate a card, keeping track of which cards have been confiscated, disposing of confiscated cards... consequently it has been over a decade since I've seen an ATM capable of confiscating a card. Since I prefer cash for everyday transactions and move around a fair bit, I feel I have sampled a wide range of ATMs in midwest USA and some small portion of ATMs globally.
"How about showing a timer on the traffic light when they will turn green"

You've got several options here, none of them great.

1) Use a resin printer and print the meta-molds at very high resolution, then lightly sand with high-grit paper or use a gap filling primer paint.

2) Use ABS, HIPS, or another acetone smoothable plastic and vapor bathe the meta-molds (would probably slightly mess up the split lines though).

3) Use a paint-on epoxy to manually smooth out the meta-mold interiors.

4) Manually sand as best as you can.

The normal process for this would be to print the 3D model you want and then do a bunch of post-printing cleanup and treatment to get it to mold-ready quality, then cast a silicone mold of that. It's not super fun, but you can get good results without years of practice.
R&D Consultant/Developer/Software Engineer | Clinton, New Jersey, USA | ONSITE VISA | Dyalog Labs | Full Time

Full Listing: https://www.sacrideo.us/dyalog-is-hiring/

This is an intense, APL-driven position working closely with both Dyalog, Ltd. and one of our major customers as a full-time consultant. You'll be working with both new development and large, legacy application code bases.

This position includes extensive training in "the APL way" that I've spoken about in the past, and we're looking for people with the aptitudes and the motivation to go far beyond a simple "code monkey" or software engineer.

Our hiring process is very hands-on and somewhat unique, and you should expect to be doing more hands-on programming and exploration throughout the interview and probationary process than just interviewing.

Ask HN: How relevant is the Business Model Canvas still ?
I am a little surprised to see Steve Blank's course on How To Build a Startup (2012) still live on Udacity [1].

The class aims to build a business model around on Alex Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas.

The years have passed since the introduction of this model. Have you recently seen any entrepreneurs/gurus using or praising that approach ?

Steady Health | Software Engineers | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite

Managing your diabetes well can be the difference between a long, healthy life and heart attack, cardiovascular disease, amputations, and blindness. Today, diabetes care is based on guidelines that are the same for everyone, regardless of motivation, lifestyle and other individual factors.

Steady Health (https://steady.health) is changing diabetes care by leveraging a new technology and dataset, continuous glucose monitors. These sensors let patients track their levels throughout the day without pricking their fingers with complex equipment. We’re building an entirely new clinic experience that use data analysis to help patients understand how diet, physical activity, and medication is impacting their blood sugar levels.

I’m an experienced founder who previously sold a company to Dropbox. My co-founder is an MD who specializes in internal medicine. I’ve also been diabetic for 18 years so between us we know both the patient, and care side, really well.

We're looking for passionate people with a low ego and a drive to learn. Our first clinic will be in San Francisco and we are currently building out our founding engineering and care teams. The company is backed by top funds and angels including former Dropbox CTO and Head of Data Science at Airbnb.

Come and change an important piece of health care with us, email me at henrik@steady.health and read my story https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...
Actually, it is not because I particularly care about uploading videos to YouTube (never done it, no particular plans to do it), but with the fact that Google specifically and forcibly links everything.

Sure, in some ways, the fusion is very convenient.

But I've read a few too many credible stories about how a loyal Google customer does some innocuous action that happens to set off one of Google's triggers, and is instantly banned from the entire ecosystem.

Google's complete lack of customer support, and indeed hostility to the concept of ever being reachable by or accountable to a user just makes it worse.

Bottome line; Google is ok for casual use, but as a biz, I'll never touch them, and advise others to avoid like the plague.
The visualization doesn't interest me nearly as much as how Twitter classifies something as "toxic". It seems subjective enough that one person's "toxic conversation" is another person's "sick burn". Unfortunately, the post doesn't contain any explanation or links regarding their classification algorithm(s).
Yea having been to cities where this is deployed widely (e.g. Taipei), it's a shame that they aren't in use everywhere.
This was my method until widespread and non-terrible password managers. The fact is that once you're dealing with an adversary who is sufficiently motivated to capture passwords from you and derive the algorithm, you've already lost.

Sure, it's a form of security through obscurity, but aren't we essentially relying on our computer systems' flaws remaining obscured to not get hacked?
It's reasonably easy (or at least feasible) to sneak runnable code as an indirect dependency of a development project (node.js, rails, etc), or of a Homebrew formula. No pwning needed - at least as commonly conceived.

Presumably, running `pbcopy` is easier and less detectable than writing a keylogger?
There at least four different strands of Christianity in India followed by
different linguistic and cultural groups across India.
The Syrian Christian Church in south India (Kerala) is over 1000 years old.
Roman Catholicism was brought by the Portuguese (Goa) after the 1500's,
followed by the Anglican Church by the British in the 1800's.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_India

While older strands of Christianity have long since adapted to the culture of India the recent arrival of Evangelical Christianity from the U.S. since the 1980's is a problem since it is culturally jarring, morally self-righteous, and backed by donations from the U.S.

Christians are just 2% of Indian population (20 million out of 1300 million) After dividing into the various Christians sects you are talking about small groups of people that are linguistically and culturally disconnected. A Goan Konkani has little in common with a Keralite Syrian Christian or a Mizoram Presbyterian.

For Hindu nationalists, these distinctions don't matter and they have been very successful in creating a common Christian bogeyman to rally political support. Sadly, you can find these talking points repeated on HN by educated Indians.

Constraint-Based Register Allocation and Instruction Scheduling [pdf]
I also love it !! great product
Reminder app runs locally on a server listening on the port you can configure during installation. With a use of a process manager, pm2, it can also start reminder-app during your machine startup (we support all platform Linux, Windows, and MacOS).

Reminder app allows you to setup up reminders and can notify you, when they are due, using a web push notifications. The notification only works if the browser is open, however, the reminder-app tab does not need to be open to get those notifications. We also plan to write an extension in near feature so you can add reminder's easily.

Well the start of the '90s was still Amiga time, which was the biggest leap in home computing ever but that really happened in the 80's. Then it was followed by the dark ages of PC gaming catching up while people played on dumb consoles.

Around when the Voodoo cards came along (1996?) things got really interesting again. Also about any keyboard that shipped was decent still, Silicon Graphics and Macs (even the beige ones) were really nice looking but expensive machines. Had a SCSI drive hooked up to a PowerBook 1400, that was pretty much as cool as having an external Thunderbolt SSD now.

The ASUS P2B of course was amazingly stable for it's time, however if you had a dual Celeron 300A @450MHz you were really the king. Dial-up modems getting upgraded to T1 lines or cable modems. That was a huge speed boost.

So yes the 90's were nice, but just no comparison to what happened between '77 and '87 (the year the Amiga 500 got introduced).

Binary Mint | San Francisco, REMOTE/ONSITE

Here at Binary Mint, we fundamentally believe in the value of blockchains, which enable the creation of “decentralized applications,” or DApps. DApps are trustless, transparent, interoperable, and unstoppable, and thus have the potential to empower users in unprecedented ways.

But just like how web 2.0 did not take off until it started seeing usage outside of the military and academia, blockchains are not going to take off until DApps are being used by the average consumers. And yet, it’s the unfortunate reality today that DApps have very little usage outside of finance. The reason is that it’s currently extremely difficult to create DApps that can handle a large number of users efficiently, due to technical limitations with existing blockchains and the lack of good tooling for building DApps.

Binary Mint is all about creating technologies that will make consumer DApps a reality. Our first product is the Tenfold Protocol (https://www.tenfoldprotocol.io/), a practical and versatile platform on which developers can easily build DApps that scale.

Binary Mint is an early-stage startup. As such, you can expect to be wearing many hats, becoming a leader in the company, and making a large impact. We are looking for people who are responsible, driven, and great at what they do. We are a distributed team with a base in San Francisco; both local and remote hires are very welcome.

The final viz looks awful. In the attempt to make it look like a tree, you did get a tree but lost the informational value. I thought the earlier iterations had less noise and more signal.

In general, materially less secure than an iPhone, but more secure than a Macbook or a Dell Windows/Linux laptop. We like Chromebooks a lot; more companies should issue them to non-engineer employees.

`Vary` is tricky because it potentially forces the cache to do many more disk reads per lookup, hurting performance. Without `Vary`, there's at most one cache entry per cache key, and logic is simple: load that entry, verify it hasn't expired, and then return. With `Vary`, there could be many entries matching any cache key, and you can't even compute a hash bucket upfront because you have to examine the `Vary` header on the cached response to find out which headers matter. You either have to do a linear scan of all entries for that URL, or you need to maintain some sort of fancy index, and even then it's going to be slower than without `Vary`.

FWIW, with Cloudflare Workers you can implement logic that is (almost) strictly superior to Vary, and doesn't have these performance challenges. Instead of varying on a header, you can write code to vary on arbitrary properties of the request. For example, `Vary: User-Agent` would normally partition the cache not only for every browser, but for every minor version of every browser and every OS version, ruining your cache hit rate. With a Worker, you can parse the User-Agent and decide the buckets in your own way in code, then compute a custom cache key (or just add a query parameter to the URL) based on that. (Workers run "in front of" cache, so you get to modify the request before cache lookup occurs.)

The only down side compared to the header is that your code has to know what to vary on at request time, whereas the `Vary` header can be determined at response time. But if you're writing code specific to some application or web site, usually this is not that hard to determine based on URL alone.

(Disclosure: I'm the tech lead of Cloudflare Workers.)

Was my preferred option, but I had too many niggling difficulties (driver problems, hdpi not working on essential apps, etc). Most (not all) are fixable with research, but I don't have time right now. TBH if I did I'd rather spend that time running or sailing or playing music, not setting up an OS.
I would want to try this out but $8.99 and not some kind of free version makes it really hard to encourage me to use this. Have you thought of a free version that possibly:
* limits the amount of snippets
* limits certain languages
* limits storage sources
> Because the plugins are not part of the main code base you can't introduce new functionality without breaking them.

This is a very simplistic explanation bordering on FUD. Jenkins defines something called 'Extension points' you can introduce new functionality as long as you don't break extension point contract you can continue to add functionality. For example, Greenballs plugin[1] is almost 11 yrs old and still works. Surely jenkins added new functionality in past 11 yrs.

> If you add functionality to the main codebase you can keep running your tests to ensure nothing breaks. T

Another comical statement. You only need to write tests against the contract of extension point and make sure you don't break the contract.

> I have just written a more extensive analysis of the blog post in https://about.gitlab.com/2018/09/03/how-gitlab-ci-compares-w....

This is full of misinformation too. eg: You can checkin Jenkinsfile in the root of your git repo too, you don't have to copy it around.

I don't want to attribute maliciousness to you but hope you correct the blog post.

The current narrowest house in the United States is also a spite house. It's a small house in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia, a historic suburb of the DC metro area. It fills the carriageway between two houses and was built to keep people's wagons out of that carriageway. It predates the NY house by 50 years.
