>You have to let them know why you are doing it.

Absolutely, yes. When I managed a tech support team in an open plan office, the indicator for "do not disturb" was either standard headphones or ear defenders. That was part of the new starter initiation, so everyone knows from day 1.
This is a cool project and a very clear landing page.

One thing I felt was a little jarring while working through the stamps in the demo video was the audio completely cutting out when a question is posed. Perhaps having some 'standby' music would help in that way, or even just fading the audio in and out when the pause happens.

Spotify do this on play / pause.

Great stuff, and good luck with the project!
We need silent updates to be disabled by default until the user opts in, and we need 7 figure bug bounties on any method of bypassing that. We also need a certificate transparency type system for updates so users know whether how unique the update they're being asked to accept is. Otherwise this functionality will be abused for wiretapping purposes.

S3 also doesn't provide a linearizable consistency model or even a vague approximation of one. You can't rely on the events you try to schedule happening in the order you try to schedule them in, or even happening at all.

This seems overcomplicated compared to using a regular timed event to trigger a lambda and having it decide what to execute conditionally.

No. They are very much are not. Massachusetts people are busybodies compared to people farther north. They very much care about things that others do that don't effect them. It's been this way since Boston was founded in the 1600s and it's deeply ingrained in the culture. I didn't notice it until I lived in northern New England for awhile.

You could write about non work stuff that interests you, and only do it on occasional instances where you feel like writing, and pay someone like wordpress.com a pittance to handle the tech. This is what most web logs were like in the beginning.

I write a post on my blog about my interests once every month or two, and maybe crosspost it to Facebook, but I like that I get to write down my thoughts on a site I own.

If you don't get much enjoyment out of writing period though, not much reason to blog.
You continue to not understand what I'm trying to convey.

They explicitly allow you to make a copy of the one you have a valid license to. You do not have a valid license to the copy over the internet.

You do have a valid license to the one you purchased.

If you purchase a game, put it in your cd drive at home, and then dd it over ssh to your laptop in a starbucks, that's fine. You made a copy over the internet of the disk you purchased and thus have a license to use.

If you do the exact same thing above with your friend's machine and their copy of the same game, you no longer are copying from a source you have a license to copy.

It is their copy, they can make an archive, but they can't share the archive with anyone else.

The important thing here is that this is about an item you have a license to. You do not have a license to the pattern of bits. You have a license to a single copy of the pattern of bits on a specific medium that you own by some means.

The law is not talking about a sequence of bits. It's talking about a license. That's why it doesn't need to forbid copying the things you're talking about, or talk about "exact physical thing"... It's talking about the license, which is even more specific than the exact physical thing in some ways.

Great work and good luck with it!

How does it compare to redbaron? [1]

> RedBaron is a python library and tool powerful enough to be used into IPython solely that intent to make the process of writing code that modify source code as easy and as simple as possible. That include writing custom refactoring, generic refactoring, tools, IDE or directly modifying you source code into IPython with a higher and more powerful abstraction than the advanced texts modification tools that you find in advanced text editors and IDE.

Forth in Literate C++
I don't see anything particularly new here - the ideas described seem like fairly standard post-modernist dismissals of quantitative geography. Great fun to study at undergraduate level and gets you out of the lecture theatre, but for usefulness I'll stick with science.
I am glad to hear someone with that view. I would like it to be fringe, and while the last weeks election here in Swedish is plainly showing how mainstream generalizations like "mens violence again women" are, I feel like looking at like it is fringe might just help push it to actually become fringe.

Equality of this kind is a topic that could create common ground between liberal left and libertarian right, with policies and laws that focus on the individual and human behavior rather than groups. It would mean giving up having a group that each side can point at and blame for all faults in society, and the cynical in me would say that this means its political impossible, but it would make for a better world and possible push people to towards each other rather than apart.
This is misleading.

Just a matter of setting the environment on the right compiler binary and retrieving dependencies

Which is exactly how it works in Python.

I'm pretty sure too I'll very quickly run into dependencies hell by picking randoms ruby/python programs. Just take a look at that SO question:

That SO question is about a tool for "setting the environment on the right compiler binary and retrieving dependencies". But you can also do it manually just fine; that's how I usually did it, in fact. Just retrieve the dependencies to a directory and call Python with PYTHONPATH set to it.

Pyenv is essentially the same as Go's new modules tool, it's just not called through the same binary as the interpreter/compiler.

Interpreted languages have their uses, of course, but there's a clear difference in both ease of deployment and development between the realms of interpreted languages (Ruby/Python/PHP/etc.), VM/IL/JIT based languages (JVM/.NET/etc.) and 'plain old' compiler based languages (C/C++/Rust/Go/etc.).

Yes; with Python, you can both run directly from source without wasting time compiling after each change, or you can produce a standalone binary (dependent only on libc) for distribution, using a tool like PyInstaller. Plain old compiled based languages are much more limited.

> Will Musk succeed in mass producing the Model 3, or will the whole operation end up as kindling for a glorious bonfire?

They are already mass producing it. Or what is your definition of mass production?

Otherwise its a pretty interesting article well worth reading. For better or worse Tesla is prepared to go its own direction some of the time, and that is in everything, designs and manufacturing. Sometimes they hit home runs, sometimes they don't.

For me its telling how in interviews in 2014 he was often asked about production problems and if they were capable of producing 400 Model S a month (or something like that). Lots of people very skeptical if they could ever produce the Model S at the numbers they were claiming. The conversations and news articles are mirroring each other 1 to 1 with different numbers, its pretty interesting to see.

Pretty impressive what they have achieved overall, specially in terms of batteries. In terms of cars they should probably have relied more on industry experience.
> The best way to avoid settings updates it to throw it all on the user. eg, Arch Linux ...

actually I prefer Slackware's way to do it: you can keep either the new or the old file, or launch vimdiff and merge them yourself
What you're doing here is a technique called the Gish Gallop - in which rather than engage with debate you just try to introduce more and more "reasons" you're right, most of them entirely spurious, hoping to somehow win on the numbers.

That is not an honest way to have a conversation. Knock it off.

Of course that only applies to the laws of physics. You'd still have an effectively infinite universe of maths, geography, biology, etc. to explore.

Par for the course price volatility for bitcoin.
True, I am on the tail end of an all-nighter, but I have no idea what that webpage described. It was like a buzzword smoothie. Pleasant enough but empty calories.
I didn't downvote your contribution, but I suspect a lot of the downvotes were due to your argument being, at best, tangentially related to the point made in the article you linked to.

So the article makes the claim that left to its own devices, science wanders off into the weeds, spending a lot of money and brainpower on things which have absolutely no foreseeable application to the real world (e.g. stuff like string theory). FWIW, I do have sympathy for this viewpoint; while I think there is a place for purely curiosity driven blue-sky basic science, perhaps a smaller pie of the total R&D spending ought to be spent on such things.

From this you then conclude that government financing of science is bad (which goes against the econ 101 reason why the state must shoulder some of the R&D responsibility, so I won't bother to discuss that further here), whereas the article makes the opposite conclusion, namely that the state should take a much more hands-on goal-oriented approach to funding science (e.g. "get our boys to the moon before the commies").
Ask HN: How to get invited to give talks
I am wondering how you got your start giving talks and traveling the world to attend conferences.

I am VP title at a prominent bay area startup, and I have people in my team with strong online presences that have given talks to multiple conferences around the world. I myself have never talked in public or made any kind of strong online statement. I 've asked how they "broke the ice", but the answer is (truthful but) not exactly satisfactory. Usually it's a recommendation of a friend who knew someone who knew someone...

I 've only been invited to weird recruitment and awkward "let's have dinner but by the end of the dinner your company is using our product" parties, by grace of my position and LinkedIn. (And I appreciate all the effort, time and resources put by everyone, but it breaks my heart to say "Thank you but our needs do not align at the moment", so I stopped attending those. And I get some kind of PTSD from too aggressive pitching... It's just too hard to have to say no when they are actually cool people, doing a good job, and you feel indebted to them, but you currently have no real reason to work with them. Anyway, maybe I am just too awkward and soft to attempt public speaking?)

So how do I approach this? I applied to a few conferences and got no answer at all... Should I start writing a blog? Get someone to vouch for me? I am not looking to make money or gather fame, just an excuse to travel a bit and meet like minded passionate people, and I believe that due to my experience and position (even though nothing really special) I have interesting insights and "battle-stories" to share.

Thanks!

The type system of Kotlin is pretty much the same as that of Java (the only addition is that of declaration-site variance, which essentially allows you to elide some of these annoying wildcards at the use-site).

I'm not familiar enough with the others, but I have A LOT of doubts. Only Scala's type system is clearly more powerful/expressive than Java.

Also, through templating, C++ type system is made quite expressive.

Big pet-peeves of doctors:

1. The Academic Elitist: When they act like know-it-alls, poo-poo informed patients or any information that didn't originate from them.

2. The Thickheaded: When they don't LISTEN and go about diagnosing whatever it is they're more interested in.

3. The Evening News Anchor: When they act with over-confident, pseudo-infallibility, which seems to correlate invariably with being wrong.

4. The Snakeoil Salesman: When they hard-sell products and services that aren't even FDA-approved, like this certain brand of CBD that this one doctor was pushing. cough kickbacks cough

Bonus: The Histrionic and Defensive: When they gaslight or accuse their patient of behavior they didn't engage in, especially when they miss lab results and clinical symptoms that would explain said symptoms.
They're popular because, for better or worse, Microservices are popular.

If you want to serve Microservices from a common host name as if they were a single application, e.g. for public users of an API, you need some sort of mapping between internal and external URLs.

Service discovery is another approach but that's probably only applicable to internal service usage.

Entirely different idea. The book is still about different types of violence (political, social, military/physical, financial).

To put it one way, it doesn't embrace violence for the sake of violence, e.g. Ares, god of war. But uses the possibility of violence to enforce peace, like Athena, goddess of wisdom.
> Astronauts are highly-trained, but I haven't seen any evidence they were necessary - they don't do the orbital calculations, and if there was an emergency, Ground Control would solve the problem.

Although the normal procedure was to get navigation instructions from earth by voice and uplink, the Apollo astronauts that flew on lunar missions were trained to navigate without assistance, if that was necessary in an emergency. They could even navigate without assistance from the onboard computer, if that wasn't available, by using charts and a sextant.

Buzz Aldrin had a doctorate in astronautics and helped develop the navigation techniques that were used by NASA at that time.
I've touched on a few URL parsing issues lately. Valid UTF-8 code points depending on TLD and determining the user level of the host e.g. 3rd level for co.uk seem to require gathering a bunch of disparate sources and making a best guess.

No, its not even a single bit outlandish, it is the normal procedure how cooperations operate that are too big to be affected by markets or laws. Google, and Facebook are big enough to have a virtual monopoly in their respective domains, so the logic of markets doesn't apply to them anymore. They are also big enough to brazenly ignore certain laws, soley based on the size of their legal departments -- they might be successfully sued in some instances, but it doesn't really matter in the big picture, as long as the average joe is deterred from taking action ("they have so much money for lawyers, you don't have a chance").

These conditions make actions like this not only "not outlandish" but outright reasonable (as seen from the logic of the cooperation). If the system that encourages this behavior doesn't change, the cooperations certainly won't act any different.
