> Everything they're doing is designed to give developers better tools on whatever platform they choose

This is what people said about Google too a few years back.

The reality is: Everything they're doing is designed to increase the company value for their shareholders.
Although at-rest encryption of health data is an addressable part of US health regulations, not a required one, it's almost always done because it's easy and effective. Most electronic health records are encrypted at-rest.
that was a great read
I wonder if this is a sign Google is sad they didn’t acquire GitHub first and now feel a competitive pressure to do something.

Well it felt that way, and it seems like a show of good reputation. But I would be really happy to learn from more trustful sources! Care to share some or your experience?
Goldman have a strong political game. Even over those periods in which the Secretary of the Treasury is not one of theirs, they occupy lots of other appointed positions in government.
> It has not been reasonable to ignore such users for the last five years or so.

You're taking me the wrong way. I wrote that because I didn't feel like writing paragraphs going into explicit detail over the pros and cons of seed avoiders and how one might handle them, etc. It wasn't the point of the conversation I was trying to make, informing about the general design. BitTorrent works without you hosting the file, so does IPFS, that's the point. Nothing more, nothing less.

Which, I should have known better from HN, but /shrug. I guess in the future I need to be more explicit when I ignore a topic.
GitLab is more or less open source; GitHub isn't. (Though it is arguably an 'open source tool' - i.e. 'tool _for_ open source'...)

If we measure, say, the spin of an electron along the z-axis the only possible outcomes are UP and DOWN.

If we measure UP, the next measurement of the same thing can only be UP. The system has a narrow wave function indeed.

(On the other hand, if the system was originally prepared in a pure state along a perpendicular axis and has not been observed yet the probability of measuring UP or DOWN is 50/50. The difference between these scenarios is quite observable.)

I can show the code, I will probably do this in my next blog post, but that does not guaranty anything.

> Modern security is based on proof, not on trust.

Is it? So if there is a hosted version of a open source tool, you are sure they use the same code on the hosted version a in the open source tool? It's still based on trust.
Ask HN: What's you're go-to place to browse UI demos?
Is there a good place to browse and experience UI/UX demos? github is cumbersome to navigate, and many repos require lots of work to "build" and run. I envision a public pool of up-and-running demo apps in a usable state, for developers to experience and play with.

Alacritty isn't actually super fast, the author just opened three other emulators and decided to call Alacritty "the fastest terminal emulator on earth".

I agree that to generalize to all is pointless. Furthermore, it’s likely that in many cases the implicit goal of reporting is to rally public support, or to mollify public concerns over some government activity—-the division only seems productive for selling more papers/ad displays on some situations, or to agitate the public in others. Chomsky’s “Manufacturjng Consent” examines the propagandistic element of reporting in a US context.
Ask HN: Who needs support from a stranger with a project?
Are you working on a project and need support with coding, design, documentation, etc.

Please describe what you want the stranger will bring to the project, their role, skills required, and possible a brief description of task (if you don't want to give much away).

A stranger could be a programmer, designer, student looking for hands-on experience, etc.

I think it is too early to say if Microsoft has reformed. Fact is that a) they bought GitHub, b) infiltrated Python, c) infiltrated the Linux foundation.

Given certain recent and not so recent events, it is still very possible that they are purposefully creating divisiveness among open source developers for the long term goal of establishing Windows dominance again.
While there are a few things that _might_ slow the formation a bit, there isn't anything that will dissolve already formed stones of the most common type (calcium oxolate). Some of the less common stone types like uric acid stones do have possible treatments in some cases.

Just drinking a lot more water is the only treatment that really does help slow or stop the formation for many people.

All waves are based in the time domain (space between waves), half or double space is an octave. Slighty unusual, but not very. I hear musical terms used a lot when it comes to analog signals. (Yes, even 'digital' signals need an analog carrier).

Either they backed down, or my memory is faulty. I recall at the time the announcement was that they were doing a hard cutover support wise. But since I wasn’t developing in Angular it was more of an interesting thing and not an immediate concern.

You’re right, 5 years is plenty of time.

So glad birds don't make that kinda noise.
And I'd say that a significant portion of the remaining 16% is a byproduct of platforms for selling ads (e.g. Android) or just monetizing infrastructure Google had anyhow to serve ad related services (GCS, Google Drive).

The one thing coming to mind which is not designed to boost advertising is their Pixel line (after they killed the rest of their hardware, of course) but even that is not as much of a standalone activity as it is a way to effectively steer the future of the Android ecosystem.

Ask yourself this: Which Google products or services would have justification as standalone P&L units, without collecting user data and sending it to the mothership? Not too many.
The article confuses the Sesame score (credit score computed by Alibaba to be used within their app) and the social score (government project which isn't really deployed yet but intended to rely on multiple private sources like Alibaba's sesame score)

In the 2018 state of things, the social credit score is not (yet) as invasive as the article suggests. AFAIK it does not change according to your purchases, daily habits or online comments unless you get arrested. For now it mostly is influenced by credit repayments, debt and previous condamnations. I lived there 3 years and my "sesame score" as displayed on Alipay is still the default one.
worth pointing out because i don't know if this is also the case in other countries: if the jurors think the law is dumb, they can return a verdict of not guilty even if there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

That was in February 2017 [0]. Not exactly recently IMO.

The unicode power symbol looks like someone's giving you the finger. Nice.
The most important take, which took me years to sink in, is that code does not matter. So many things stem from that simple fact.

> Or does nobody use ssh X forwarding any more?

For a few years I worked with a bit of peculiar setup: I had a laptop with Windows and Xming (X impl for Win) and a headless desktop with FreeBSD under my desk. I didn't actually use SSH X forwarding - if I remember correctly, I configured it such that X apps run on the desktop would display on my laptop communicating over LAN with a raw X protocol. So I would SSH under my desk and run gVIM, RXVT and a few other tools which displayed as windows on Win. It was cool in more ways than one, but - even in that setup - the latency, or lag, between a keystroke and the effect, was visible and occasionally irritating. It was still much better than doing the same over SSH - which was the reason why I opted for the insecure open-to-the-world X setup in the first place - and that was over a wire less than 2 meters long.

Needless to say, the lag when working on remote servers over SSH was much greater than that. It was kind of OK for displaying things which (optionally) updated on their own once a second or things like that, but I would be very unhappy, to the point of quitting after a week, if I had to actually work over such a connection. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating and I could get used to it - still, the experience, when compared to running things locally or remotely, but in terminal (ie. VIM instead of gVIM), can be summarized with one word: LAG. Lots and lots of it :)
It's given away by your eye saccades.

You can meet an at-rest encryption requirements in a lot of environments by flipping on disk-level, filesystem-level, or database-level encryption where the encryption keys aren't stored on that disk.

I expect those that defend the system see its appeal as a more rational alternative to guanxi, the informal networks of trust and reciprocal obligation that pervade Chinese society. Do you want a loan, or need a good hospital for your parent? You don't need to bribe or schmooze with the right person, only to be an orderly, hard-working citizen.

On the other hand, you're trusting your score to "the algorythm", and any SEO consultant can tell you how brutally flawed and unfair "the algorythm" can be, even without overt malicious intent.
It still baffles me that we went from a common wisdom of "don't share personal information on the internet with anyone" to "chronicle your life on the internet publicly" in a few years. I think the first was a bit of an overreaction, but far closer to a sane level of prudence than the current state of affairs.

Obviously, but what are the means to that end? All public companies are in the quest of increasing shareholder value - some of them do this by selling tobacco, others by monetizing user data (in other words, ad services) and others by providing developer tools and platforms.
I would put it simply: Apple is a hardware company, Microsoft is a software company, and Google is an ad company. Because that's what these companies sell to keep themselves alive.
Issues of violence aside. The notion of a stranger in your community helping to correct a child used to be normal and welcome. A slap was always better than your kid being hit by a car. But people seem terrified of each other now. This xenophobia is no longer racism, but fear of our own neighbors. I hope there is a more civil and engauging way forward. "Stranger Danger" is bullshit.

This seems to be a common rationalization from prosecutors and police. What they fail to realize is that falsely imprisoning even a 'bad guy' undermines the whole system. It has led us to the point where no one should ever speak to the police. A cycle that makes it even harder for police do properly do their job.
Nice to see you're using the same animation technique [1]. MP4 could not possibly provide this level of quality/size (~150KB per animation).

Pngcrush is rather limiting though. I could compress the PNG textures by ~8% more with optimage [2] (I'm the author).

And for newer browsers, serving the textures as brotli-compressed BMPs would actually make them >30% smaller (probably more with filtered but uncompressed PNGs).

Personally I believe that those altcoins trading despite serious consensus issues is a sign that we’re in an asset bubble of some sorts.

In a healthy market, assets that do not deliver on their most basic premise should trade down to zero eventually.

Perhaps. But then where do the bands make money? From their Spotify streaming royalties? That's not enough to buy coffee.

In other words, free (or historically close to it) music comes at a price. If you calculate what is __not__ being spent on listening to music, I suspect you'll see that decline made up for via touring / ticket prices.
Well, you also saw society as something you’re either in/out of. You view us as elitarian/non-elitarian. If someone aren’t respected or have a hard time getting heard, it’s a complete waste for them. You either have high morals or not. You think you know the motivation behind the people who mistreated you, and define them as evil. You think that everyone participating in the system are evil.

I mean, I’m sure you didn’t mean these things exactly like I interpret them now, and I am taking what you said extremely literal.

I’m sure you had a miserable time, but how do you suggest we change that for other people, when your own solution seem to be chosing whether or not to be a good person. I mean, do you really think being a terrible person gives you advantages in life?

Maybe in some areas it does, and maybe for some periods of time, but it usually catches up to you.

Accurate, but that's 70 years of social development they'll miss out on. In the meantime the west will continue its shitshow into some undetermined darwinistic future, as it has always been. Things are speeding up so we both know it won't be 70 years, the social score thing is just an expression/attempt at central control, wich has never worked. Economy and social values as a chaotic system, predicting the future, etc.

Also, that I would deeply regret going to school to learn progamming once Udemy became a thing.
I did a Show HN on my side project, AutoMicroFarm, two years ago (although I have been working on it and posting to HN about it much longer than that).

Thanks to HN, I was able to get into the YC fellowship program. After launching and not getting any traction, I almost quit. However, I realized I did not know how to do marketing, sales, or customer dev (the "people want" part of "Make something people want"). It wouldn't be fair to the idea of AutoMicroFarm, or to myself, to quit without trying to learn marketing/sales/customer dev and applying it to AutoMicroFarm.

So this year, I hired a business coach (https://solacelessons.com/) and continued working on AutoMicroFarm. I can't claim it's successful in any meaning of the word yet, but I have a solid framework in place for my social media/email/blog outreach, I am talking to people to figure out what they want, and starting to make revenue--all while having a day job, a side gig (both related to web dev), and a family. I've been really happy to make this progress while keeping the hours spent on AutoMicroFarm to 5-10 hours per week.
February 2017 is very much recent days, though?
That’s why I said “more or less”. And apart from being used for open-source, GitHub is obviously built upon git (which is open source).
Is that an automatic process, or is it something I needed to specifically watch out for? (In other words, a headache)
You are right, but there also lies a problem - even 2080ti pulls barely 60fps at best today's top games, sometimes not even that. Meaning games whose development started around the time when 1080 were introduced. The new ones will be much more demanding, and even if more clever antialiasing helps, that's only small part of performance.

I mean, 2080 is +- on par with 1080ti - this is 3 years of development in top graphic card segment? For sure it will find its buyers, but this group will be tiny - pro gamers, people who have too much money, and maybe once there are some proper VR games then vive pro/oculus.

I am currently looking for an update over my old 760 gtx, but since I play in 1080p (actually 1200p), I think 1070 will suffice. Anyway for the type of single player games I play it will be enough in details for years to come. And the simple fact is, after 1 hour of gameplay I don't care much about some details.
