I really hope banks get disrupted from the bottom (as you're mentioning with N26), and yes, I've worked for a Fortune 500 financial group that was a huge mess (they had entire buildings of software developers, but their software was god awful).

But your statement "they're simply not competitive" is extremely misleading. Most of the big banks don't have users as customers, maybe something to be tolerated. They're not competing on user experience.

Industry and Corporate is where it's at, and I guarantee they're getting very good support, personalized attention, etc... (even if the financials are cobbled together in Excel for a multimillion dollar loan). You're probably small fish for them.

The paper argues that, because it is possible to doubt whether you are doubting, and to doubt whether you are doubting you are doubting, and so on and so forth, that this is an infinite regress, and because infinite regresses are ugly and inconvenient, we should just throw out the whole chain and declare ourselves sure of the world.

Frankly, this is a bad argument. The author mentions you can solve the regress by simply denying that you can even know your own mental states, but dismisses this on the grounds it doesn't help reach the desired conclusion. (!!!) The author also goes to the trouble of claiming that some infinite regressions are 'psychologically stable' while others are not; no real argument is provided as to why it matters whether a regress is such or not, except that the author wants to get rid of inconvenient ones but not convenient ones.

The way to attack Cartesian skepticism is on its grounds and assumptions, not to accept the premises. Descarte was right, if you assume his priors. There are many people who do this, but the most systematic and determined one is probably Heidegger. I suppose that people who want to believe in 'pure reason' are not especially likely to go down that route, though.
To follow up on this, the reason is that excess protein is converted to carbohydrates in the body. It’s more expensive, and takes work to eliminate urea derivatives, but as long as someone is getting enough protein, they will be okay. There are risks to having too many saturated or polyunsaturated fats, but those risks aren’t inherent in low carb dieting.
Sincere question, but PHP is still widely used?

I remember that around the year 2002 it was almost the only choice (besides Perl) on shared hosting, but on this days its just a nasty language and with so many beautiful languages like Python GoLang and Ruby why would anyone use PHP for a new development?
It's a fig leaf they can point to when lobbying to avoid stricter regulation in any jurisdiction that hasn't yet enacted new rules.
It is a common problem. Although it can be improved it can NEVER be fixed. Why? Because until they see it and use it they will not be inspired to say 'Well why did you not ...' Until they have the product they did not know they had a requirement xyzzy.

I remember a computer history class, where the teach mentioned time sharing was invented in the mid 60's and one guy was insistent it should have been invented earlier. He felt the requirement was always there, and should have been done in the 40's...
No one wants the Carl Sagan of plumbing.

Haha that sounds awesome actually.
While you might not need moment.js and can remove it from your project. The problem is that every other project is using it, so you're already picking up the dependency. Many months ago I went digging into if we could remove it and while I successfully pulled it out, found that three of the packages we install all needed it -- thus having one date library was preferable to extra code size.
Handling Notch on iPhone X, XS, XR, XS Max
If sites just hosted their own ads, blockers wouldn't stand a chance. I wouldn't trust a third-party, centralized, site (users should have demanded that their browsers block third-party content from the begining of the web) and it wouldn't stop the host from doing their own on-site tracking. Self hosted ads are the only that will ever be allowed past my blocker, and I've seen about 3 sites in the past 10 years that do it.

I would suggest the author to place long-term bets on those blockchain predictions on the Augur prediction markets : )
This is wrong in almost every detail, and superficial where not wrong. But the underlying point, that we get useful things out of hype cycles even if they’re essentially side-effects is true. I feel like there’s more skepticism about blockchain than there was about XML, so maybe it won’t have the same sorts of impact. On the other hand, maybe there’ll be a blogger writing pseudo-history in 15 years arguing that we got Git’s versioning system because of blockchain, so that’s nice.

My oven has a Shabbat mode: when you activate this mode, touching the controls doesn't make any sound anymore, opening the oven door doesn't trigger the light, and when touching a button the effect is delayed by a few seconds so you're not technically getting any result from touching the button while still getting the effect from touching the button.
ISP Can Charge Money to Expose Pirates, Canadian Supreme Court Rules
Same, I basically taught myself C from that book!
I don't understand that. If the owner of the laptop approve by an initial validation, then he could as well approve by accepting unsigned binaries? Having a cert which cannot be validated seems more or less the same to me as having no cert. All the usual caveats apply: vendor loses signing key after expiration, etc... Vetting which firmware is safe is exactly the responsibility the end user didn't want to have to begin with.

And if the owner doesn't get that power from whoever designs the OS, it makes a reinstall of the device impossible.

The only way out I see apart from never expiring the certs is having a central third party vet the signature ('Yes, this binary with this signature was in our storage before the expiry.') A microsoft update or debian firmware repository could assume that role. But then you are depending on a third party for hardware you own yourself, and if they would rather have you upgrade, you're toast.
Awesome. I don't know why they stress over the need for a skilled pilot, this could easily be a drone/AI project.

hmm GEB was a charming book which popularized CS, you could say. uh .. The guy in Mr Robot? ...

Well, I guess if you had to ask, the answer's no. Well, Cosmos (the Sagan one, haven't seen anything from those other 2) was about a lot more than just physics. And it was a story of many centuries and countries, about many people who are household names. CS has a relatively short history, with most of the developments fairly if not extremely abstract and not easy to explain in a popular form. >layers of slightly out-of-focus binary digits flow across the screen< I'm not sure how much of it people want to know. But still, most things are fascinating when presented well.

> You don’t have to believe in anything, but wouldn’t it be considered “hate speech” to essentially besmirch those that believe in God?

Just because someone doesn't believe in the existence of a god doesn't mean they "believe in nothing".

I believe in all sorts of things. I believe in a naturalistic universe, that came about, and operates, in a naturalistic fashion. This is not the absence of belief.

> Edward Teller's idea to use a nuclear bomb to destroy a hurricane.

But of course he did. Teller really loved the bomb. He proposed using the bomb for every problem.

* build a canal. just use a H-bomb.

* mining, a H-bomb.

* need a new a harbor in Alaska, a H-bomb.

* reflection seismology, use a H-bomb

* stimulate natural gas from tight fields, use a H-bomb.
You mean, the iPhone 6S camera is horrible as well? Because the SE and the 6S share the same sensor...
Sure, it doesn't have the AI-powered features of newer camera software and it also isn't a dual camera system, but I reckon it's still good. I prefer the Pixel 2 for photos to any iPhone anyway (still waiting for the new iPhone Xr/Xs features, fake bokeh effect et all, it may lives up to the Pixel's standards).

How to be alone: the difference between loneliness and solitude
Too true.

‘a-b’ is safe enough in JS if you always know the input will be within a safe range regarding integer sizes and types.

NaN can give you all kinds of trouble so I’d usually test for that in a real case, either before the sort or in the comparator—if necessary.
I blame this on the attitude that everyone needs a 'College Degree'. It has caused people to not value real work the way they should.

Most people using ad blockers don't care whether the ads are self-hosted, nor do the makers of most ad blockers.

If sites hosted their own ads, those ads would still be blocked by almost everyone as soon as the blacklists were updated.
First rule. PostGIS is your friend. The PostGIS people have done a lot of work with making processing large sets of GIS data fast and easy, so always start there. If for some reason that doesn't work...

As a general rule always try to ask yourself, what am I actually trying to do, mathematically, and then ask how would someone go about solving that math problem, if you didn't tell them it was a GIS problem?

Much of raster analysis, for example, is just a combination of matrix math and convolutions. So look up how the numerical analysis people do matrix math and convolution on huge matrices. In python, for example, you have tools like numexpr for fast elementwise transformation of matrices and via numpy/scipy you can call BLAS and LAPACK. If you're dealing with rasters that don't fit in memory take a look at solutions like Dask.

Same principle applies when dealing with vector data. Many problems are 'just' graph theory, so find out which library that graph theory people use to solve that sort of problem on large graphs and use that instead. Or if a problem reduces to a line/polygon intersection problem, well that's just raycasting, and the games industry has spent a lot of effort in making that really really fast.

Finally, learn to use the underlying libraries from the command line and scripts rather than via the GUI and how to divide that work across several processors/machines. GDAL + GNU parallel from the command line will transform 1000 rasters faster than QGIS could ever hope to do.
> I repeat, keep off Google!

Many would agree, for many different reasons; some because of privacy concerns, lack of long-term guarantees that a service will work in the future, some because they don't like being a product instead of a customer (hence "customer support" being as it is), and so on. Many valid reasons, even if I don't necessarily share them.

> Short their stock!

This, however, feels like a completely different matter. Yes, there are reasons for not using Google, but they are very unlikely to influence the price of their stock. MSFT would be bankrupt at least twice in the 90s was that the case (and that's just one example).

So, I think that if you want to argue that their stock will tank, you should point out reasons other than that they treat their "customers" like crap. That, in itself, hardly ever resulted in financial problems for tech sector companies - as sad as it is :(
>> Carbs aren't absolutely necessary.

My personal experience says otherwise. Whenever I have tried to reduce carbohydrate intake my system goes haywire. I suffer constipation, body aches, overall weakness in body during night while sleeping, I sleep worse. I workout every day and I have realized carbs are extremely important (even though I try to take plenty of protein). When I resume carbs most of the problems I cited above, go away.
Author here.
It started as a technical demonstration for fluid dynamics in the web browser. Then I saw the js13kgames competition and the decision was made to make a game out of it. A game in which the fluid mechanic counts. The decision for the Lunar Lander genre then was quiet easy.

Does someone know more games then the two I mentioned in the README (Plasma Pong and Pixeljunk Shooter) with more or less realistic fluid dynamics?
There is quite a bit of leeway when you have real world data. You have to clean it. You can always find some justification. This is not neatly black/white at all. Similar in all other fields from accounting to law. I think it's a serious issue that we managed to make so many people believe way too strongly in absolutes ("science" as a magic word to end all discussions, because hey, "science" and "data" - now we have an objective reality!), when in reality the world is way more messy.

If the energy of the hurricane is not allowed to be released where does it end up?
Maybe one of the more interesting technical aspects is the usage of WebAssembly here. I used Emscripten, so the main part is written in plain C. But I threw away all the JavaScript overhead and used just the plain size optimized wasm file. This was easier than expected.
There is so called marker traits Send and Sync that are used to track whether something is tread-safe or not. https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/nomicon/send-and-sync.html Regardless of whether you use unsafe or not, thread safety is tracked with these and they allow the compiler to detect and prohibit data races.
I personally think this will all go back somewhat. With which I mean, information about us being collected without our knowledge and everybody having all their data made available to big companies.

One reason for me to believe this, is that it's already getting somewhat creepy, even for the general public. When the new invigilation systems at china get demonized in public media, people will start to care about privacy a lot more. Which will open a lot of market space for companies focusing on privacy. Apple is one company I have in mind here. But, especially with articles about homomorphic encryption coming up more regularly and a lot of research on how to train ML systems with anonymization on end user devices (a blog post about Siri and differential privacy comes to mind) going on, I think companies will start to cater more to those needs of society. End-to-end encryption is already a standard feature in new messenger applications.

Another good sign, at least in Europe, is GDPR.

Show HN: Etch a Sketch and Python
Learning your own doesn't give you a grade or diplomas to prove how much you've studied.

Another benefit of the degree is the already plannified roadmap, taking it's time to learn the basics in depth. And, of course, the teacher who answers the doubts that are coming and shows the advanced tricks he already know.

Definitely, learning in your own is a good choice if you don't plan to work on infosec jobs. But without a grade the most tech job I can find in my country is formatting broken windows machines, installing printers and routers, and no much else.
Really cool stuff! Both technically and on the game design side

> Does someone know more games then the two I mentioned in the README (Plasma Pong and Pixeljunk Shooter) with more or less realistic fluid dynamics?

A friend of mine, Thomas ten Cate, tried but eventually shelved a project to make a fluid-dynamics based game tha he called Archimedes[0]. Before he moved on to other projects he blogged about it[1]. Does that count?

Is E Ink anything more than a marketed technology with no real purpose?

One can calibrate the brightness, white balance (e.g. Apple's True Tone), resolution, etc of a regular LCD or OLED display so that the same amount of photons hit your eye (and are more tightly controlled when you move the display around) as with an E Ink display, and get better resolution color, and saturation to boot.

Besides the idea that it was easier on the eyes was never backed by any substantial scientific studies, it was just "but it's like paper, so it should be" plus some manufacturer sponsored crap.

Well, there's the extended battery life I guess...
Awesome!

Opinion vs. Skill on Hacker News
I disagree. I think that companies have such a vast and strong grasp on public discourse, opinion, and even whole countries, that it will only get worse and worse. I'm sure some companies will sell "privacy" at a premium for the few that can afford it, but I don't see any future where there will be actual riots in the streets for privacy.
If I can wear out my welcome,

I can see the construction from D onwards - jumps of 7, but how did you get to D? The instruction was 7)semi tones down, which from A is D "in previous scale"), but what about the 5 semi tones up?

One new question that popped in my mind- is this series of instructions (7down, 5up) a reverse engineering of the A major sequence to fit the 7- jump rule or is there some theory about it? I have no clue what different scales even mean or what major and minor means. Feel free to ignore the new questions (or the old one!)
Out of interest, could you name a couple? I just happened to come across a couple students that are tackling this problem via drones.

The author states that RSA collecting data isn’t “wrong.”

Let me share a harsh reality: Nobody has to do anything wrong other than the act of collecting and storing the data itself - someone else can infiltrate, hack and leak the data - look at equifax.

The other day I was reading this post from APNIC and realized that even they are data mining[1], and nobody noticed because they just used different vocabulary.
