I've noticed that this is especially prevalent on LinkedIn, where you often see people making non-controversial claims (eg implicit bias is bad, the best leaders care more about what they can do for their employees than what they can get from them, ageism should be actively avoided) in a tone that sounds like they're saying something risky or bold. These statements certainly garner a lot of likes/shares, but I'm unclear what the tangible benefits of this behavior are.
Yeah, this is the classic trick known as "picking": https://www.opengl.org/archives/resources/faq/technical/sele...

It's what developers went to after the even more classic GL_SELECT render mode was removed.

It's not suitable to happen every frame because the CPU stall waiting on the frame to render is unacceptable. Most engines will do a CPU raycast into the scene. I don't know why that you say it wouldn't be pixel-perfect, because it should be. The math will work out.
I'm curious (genuinely) - is there evidence that this form of marketing is effective in terms of ROI? My initial reaction would be that people are savvy to the fact these are paid posts, but perhaps I'm just not the target market!
The bay area is currently depopulating. People are demonstrating, with their lives and futures, during one of the biggest boom periods in history, that the agglomeration effects are not sufficient to deal with the housing crisis in the bay area, even with the unprecedented slush capital flying around. The crisis is more happening because they're not even building enough housing for the people that already live in the bay area.

Honestly, from my experience living there for a year, the agglomeration benefits of the bay area are pretty oversold. I met some great people there, usually too far away to meet with regularly (transit is beyond terrible), that can't work on anything with you because they're too busy working an all-consuming job so they can afford rent, lost in an endless sea of people I would never want anything to do with.
It seems strange that the falsehood about the gas tax wasn't corrected in the text but rather in an endnote.
Thank you for this. I found the most precise and concise definition of mindfulness on this page.

> It is always now. This might sound trite, but it is the truth. It’s not quite true as a matter of neurology, because our minds are built upon layers of inputs whose timing we know must be different. [11] But it is true as a matter of conscious experience. The reality of your life is always now. And to realize this, we will see, is liberating. In fact, I think there is nothing more important to understand if you want to be happy in this world.

Depending on how big the files are, you should look at the file system format of the USB drive. I have come across this issue with NTFS formatted drives, but I personally don't know of an automounting solution that supports files larger than 8gb.
"Expert F#" by Don Syme et. all. is a great starting point. It explains how to get started and contains lots of non-trivial code to type in and try out yourself. Don Syme designed F# as a no-nonsense industrial language and this book is a great introduction from that point of view.

Then there is "Programming language Concepts" by Sestoft - which, while being a language book, at the same time exposes lot of beautiful patterns how to exactly use F# for data munching.

Then, thirdly, Jon Harrop's "F# for scientist" is a great introduction for us that have a penchant foe writing numerical code (graphics or whatever). It's a great companion for the Expert F# as it shows how to use F# effectively in place of sonething like C++ or fortran.

Do all the downvotes mean people merely disagree? Surely none of my points are so obviously invalid as to warrant silent dismissal.

After all, if there had been a blog post (or other similar discussion topic) that could pointed to, no (repeated) explanation by moderators would be necessary. The discussion would already have occurred, and the reasoning would be clear enough for anyone interested to examine it.

Or is it merely an expression of disapproval at challenging an HN moderator, or, more subtly, the interests of those posting to this job-board-within-HN?

> if you're actually following your words with meaningful action that could directly impact the problem, it's not virtue signalling.

Wouldn't the opposite be true?

If you are doing it, you are signalling your actual virtue.
If you not, it might not be, but that's missing the point. Signalling you support a philosophy by stating a related behavior is the whole point. Actually doing it or mentioning an intent, is functionally the same.
Washing dishes, thinking about dishes at hand - mindfulness.

When I said they'd optimized it "as much as they've felt comfortable doing" I was referring to things like profitability and ease of use as limiting factors.

If you understand that changing one of the defaults only affects ease-of-use, and you're a power user, more power to you! If you want to turn off analytics, cool!

But it gets trickier when it gets to the safebrowsing feature. The gist says to turn off all of those components, rather than just the ones that send hashed or partial file and address metadata to Google. That's not helping anybody.

(To be fair, I'd actually reword my original comment to change "worthless or dangerous" to something milder at this point, but HN won't let me do it. Oh well.)
> colleges refusing to host talks by people who traffic in trolling and bigotry. But that's just me.

It's not just you. There are plenty of fascist minded extreme leftists who are working hard to censor everything they don't like. Luckily, most americans can see through that. It's pathetic to label everything you disagree with as "trolling and bigotry". And it's fascistic to try to silence them.

I find it so ironic that the "anti-fascists" are the real fascists in today's america.

If these conservatives are so laughable, let them speak so that we can all laugh at them. But I guess free speech and intellectual honesty is a bit too much to ask nowadays.
They did mention it in TFA but regardless CNBC clearly thinks smoking pot is “bizarre” which I suspect is actually a pretty mundane and socially acceptable thing.
Whups, my bad. Arrays are rare, lists are very common.
I've definitely felt this. I'm more 'mindful' as the article says.. in the sense that I can step outside my emotions and control them.

As in, if I'm getting angry, I can step outside the anger and evaluate whether it's necessary or helpful at the moment or not. If it isn't, I stop it. Otherwise, I let the anger creep into my voice to make the other person more receptive to the urgency of the situation.

It works similarly for other emotions: like, fear, shame, jealousy, frustration or even sadness... which is why I don't often cry at funerals.

I don't know if that makes me a sociopath or not, but it definitely makes me more rational.

That said, I also seem to feel a lot less pain than my wife who tends to panic easier. If I stub my toe, cut my finger or even accidentally grab a falling soldering iron from the wrong end, I can disassociate from the pain, or at least give it a back seat. The hand is mine, but the pain feels like someone else's.

As such, I get a lot more cuts and bruises than my wife. I've even had instances where I had bleeding cuts on my hand that I kept thinking were itches.. I kept confusing the blood for mysterious coppery liquid oozing out of the device I was repairing. Turns out I'd nicked my fingers prying it open.. explained how the liquid kept coming back after I wiped it.
Dictators can do a whole lot of good (for certain definitions of "good") by ordering for things to happen. Say, like building roads and hospitals in backwater shitholes of their land. It's good in the sense that people in the said poor communities get access to some amenities, but can be bad in the sense that dictators can simply order doctors, teachers and engineers relocate to the said backwater against their wish. For concrete examples, check out the history of Soviet Union and Cuba.

Well, with regards to iPhone development at least, it's not that you're buying the platform you're targeting, it's that you have to buy a specific separate piece of hardware, running a specific separate software OS, which are not the same as the target platform, to develop for it. An then, as the GP notes, you have to keep updating them for reasons unrelated to the targeted platform.

I mean, I understand having to have a Mac to develop for a Mac, but having to have a Mac to develop for iPhone is just Apple being Apple.
Antirez has said for nearly a decade that if he was rebuilding the system he would use different terms, but changing the terms would break too many clients. Redis is backwards compatile to v1 - that's an impressive feat!

I just finished a ReasonReact project which I started about 3 month ago and I found the experience quite nice (working with VSCode). ReasonML is still in an early stage, but I prefer it over JS/TS for React frontends. The language is a great fit for React. The only thing that I was missing was the amount of Q&A that I'm used to from JS/TS.

> Along similar lines: WAT 15. Under what circumstances do you expect a nil var return to become non-nil? Did you even know that was possible?

Yeah. Typed nils are a horrible, horrible feature: when you cast a value to an interface, it creates a fat pointer of (Type, Value). From a nil, that's (nil, nil) but from a nil Foo that's (Foo, nil). And since `==` just does a straight value comparison, (nil, nil) != (Foo, nil).

YC is much closer to an index fund than typical VC (or even other accelerators - due to YC's much larger scale), but there's a big difference as index funds don't use any "gut instincts" - the criteria for a stock to be included in an index are fixed rules.

A better (though less succinct) analogy for YC in the public markets would be an "actively managed mutual fund investing in a broad range of early stage companies with a long-term time horizon."
Not all games rely on the behavior of the renderer on sharing vertices with the previously-drawn mesh. It seems like a pretty unlikely thing to do.
How do people not earning $100,000 afford to live there? They commute 2 hours each way (for real).

I think it's unreasonable to expect a live-and-let live attitude to NIMBYs on online forums, while NIMBYs are pricing out the people who work in their neighborhoods through housing policy.

Sure there are other issues like global warming but it's not like having a place to live is a trivial issue. It's more than reasonable for people to care or be upset about it.

I'm talking mostly about the Bay Area here which I'm most familiar with, where a rule allowing you to build if you follow every law to the letter was shot down (building anything is a guaranteed long political fight), and minor things like having one apartment level above a shop are fought tooth and nail.

I actually can somewhat respect the position, that young people should just move away and other places in the country need to deal with growth. But I think to do that properly, you should still zone for a proportionate amount of housing as you do office space (jobs). And if you don't want growth, do little of either.

But approving lots of jobs, not zoning/approving the necessary housing, and then making excuses/blaming others as there's a shortage and prices/commutes go up - it's hard to see it as anything other than a massive political failure. Maybe calling this policy combination NIMBY is painting NIMBYs with a broad brush. But whatever you call it I think it's reasonable to be upset by it.
Nothing you’ve said contradicts the argument that they have a monopoly over websites. The fact is, is that people once chose their search engine and today they no longer make that choice even if they have the ability to exercise it.
I think you vastly underestimate how easily impressionable teens and young adults are. Why do you think companies still use celebrities? I sure as shit wouldn't buy anything because a Kardashian said so, but millions of young women would. Savvy to it or not, they just don't care if it's a paid promo.

Or when in a rush ignoring all what and whom you meet on the way to the target, not happy where you are at the moment? Are you aware of the reasons why you take certain decisions? Is it really your decision, or is it just because of some inner monologue that you are not aware of? Do you sometimes step in a dog shit on the pavement?

Rent has significantly increased in the Portland metro area and gentrification is in full effect. There are vacant luxury multi-tenant properties littering the city and many more in the planning stages. As more tech companies enter the Portland market, expect this trend to accelerate.

Only part of a hash of the url is sent to get an update for all the URLs in the partial match block. The actual url is never sent.

The exception is when download malware protection is on. In that case, when downloading a file the actual URL is sent. That's a regular preference, though ("Block dangerous downloads"), doesn't need about:config changes, and is well described in the help docs.

> The first generic drug approved gets 6 months of exclusivity where no other generic drug can be approved by the FDA.

Not quite. The first patent that files a lawsuit challenging a patent on the non-generic drug and wins said lawsuit gets 180 days exclusivity.

This rule was established to incentivize generic companies to challenge drug patents and get their products to market sooner.

In the case where the patents aren't being challenged, there's no exclusivity for generic drugs.

In practice, this 180 day exclusivity is a very big deal to generic companies, because typically the first to market among the generics will have a big edge in capturing the market (once a drug has a generic, pharmacies will typically automatically fill prescriptions for the brand name drug with the equivalent generic unless the doctor specifies not to).
The questions don't even have to be unbiased, they just have to be something you would know only if you have actually looked into it. They aren't meant to ensure that you have equally read all sides, just that you have done some research.

Each question would be assigned some score, and you would need a certain minimum to pass.

As long as everybody is given the same test, and that the questions are objective, the same determination would be made for everybody, no matter what their political leanings were, so in a sense whatever knowledge you require your opponents to know, you would also your side to know.

Even if it is so blatantly biased that every single question is a positive statement about Hillary (say), wouldn't you want somebody voting against her to do so on an informed basis, and so as a minimum they should know her platforms/positions?

An old thread, but the discussion covers a bit on how Delaware actually has extremely pro-shareholder laws relative to other states, including requiring disclosure of the cap table.

If we want to also talk about misleading, I think choosing a subset of the reasons that businesses choose to incorporate in Delaware and selling them as the sole or even primary reasons is pretty misleading. If you even do a short Google search on why companies incorporate in Delaware, you'll find that one of the top cited reasons boils down to predictability. Because Delaware has been the place companies incorporated for so long, it has a long and established set of case law and precedent, which brings of stability that states with fewer corporations will need to build over time. Add in feedback loop contributions, such as the amount of lawyers who have studied and are experienced in the state's corporate law, and the choice continues to make more sense even without the factors the author listed.

An "index fund" means something specific -- a fund designed to track the performance of a standard index like the S&P 500. Index funds don't actively decide which companies to invest in, and they don't help their portfolio companies. While index funds and YC both have large portfolios, otherwise they're not similar.

One thing I like about this idea is that there doesn't seem to be the impact that, for example, a hydroelectric plant would have. In other words, because the streams are intermittent, and because most of the flow seems to be restored by overflow downstream, you don't interrupt things like migratory fish.

It's a neat concept. It gets the water beneath a thermal mass, stabilizing its temperature and preventing evaporation. The water can become available to deep-rooted plants and trees, too. I wish I'd thought of it!
The aim is not to document performance generally. The aim is to counteract the natural tendencies of managers to soften their critiques in conversation and of employees to underestimate their poor performance by memorializing feedback in writing.

It's better for employees because it makes it easier for their managers to paint a clear picture of how they need to/can improve, and it's better for managers because in the case they eventually do need to let the employee go, they've already set the expectation clearly, so there are no surprises. As a bonus, there's a paper trail for HR.
It was never policy. There have been lots of cases with further investigation that there was more to the story. Why would Apple single out his app?

The post said

Since other apps still get to do this, it's clear the policy change message was BS. I've suspected a lot has had to do with Apple's ambitions in the streaming space and their desire to be in a position to offer bundling and other over the top services.

There are literally dozens of cross platform streaming apps on iOS. There has been no policy change. Apple would be more than happy to take a 30% cut on a cross platform streaming service.

I disagree simply because the push toward electron and the like are rooted more in developer convenience and the corporate drive to turn client developers into a one-size-fits-all dirt cheap bottomless resource than in any kind of user preference.

Also, a big part of an individual’s platform preference boils down to things like conventions, look + feel, workflow, etc. By using electron one is tossing these choices made by the user in the garbage bin in favor of whatever the developer feels like supporting or what the designer thinks would be fun to design.
