Google Inbox was a nice way of setting up emails as tasks, but unfortunately Google is killing it, and Gmail doesn't come close to it.

I use Google Tasks as a workaround (link a task to an email conversation) but it's still clunkier than Inbox.
Ultimately, the government will do what it wants with respect to wiretapping because the ruling class of both political parties in the US support it, so there is no electoral accountability. Thus Facebook would be wise to give the appearance of compliance and willingness to help, while resisting total dragnets.
I spent a good chunk of my Christmas break last year trying to get LLVM and bcc working on Amazon Linux without any success. So it can be difficult even on a non-embedded system.
The problem is when the benchmark is accurate, reproducible, and based on a completely nonsensical scenario. It's not libel to say "Jira is 50% slower than Bugzilla" when your benchmark serially creates 25000 tickets, but it's not a fair claim either.

That's not to say that anti-benchmarking licenses are the right solution, of course. I can just sympathize with why Atlassian wants one.

My network link is asymmetrical - I have very little upload bandwidth compared to download. This is not uncommon.

BitTorrent is abysmal for me. It quickly saturates my uplink bandwidth, destroying downlink performance. Or I cap it, or it discovers a cap, and my upload rate is slow enough that I'm labelled a leech in the BitTorrent network and get a slow download rate.

World of Warcraft's updater was absolute trash for me. I always got far better transfer rates turning off P2P and sucking up the congestion on the direct download option.

BitTorrent simply doesn't work for most of the world's commercially available home links.
Maybe OT but, how would the 40m likely be used by the SEC?
Jira is complex but no one needs that complexity. Jira is built to sell to executives, not for anyone to actually use. Executives need to know that they'll be tracking their employees time down to the second with Jira.

But then they're never going to look at the UI for Jira either because they're too busy for that.

How is that different to what OP said?
I own a small start-up and struggle with work life balance. I'm a night owl and generally not terribly productive in the morning, but once I hit my stride in the afternoon/evening, my productivity continues to increase and I often find myself plugging away at 3-5am. I have found that it's in my best interest for throughput to continue when I'm "in the zone", but it does create some friction with the spouse.

I'm very interested in how to define the "enough work for the day" question. Or we could just listen to Dan Reeder:

As an option, yes. But as the only option, no. I prefer to spend cash. It's a hassle to manage but it gives me peace of mind.
It depends. What can you really do with stolen data about the legit buying interests of 50 million people?
You pay a single price for your trip, you don't pay for the time and distance of the ride. When you agree to the trip, you see the price ahead of time and it's fixed. So what the support person is saying that since it didn't affect the price of your trip, you're not getting a refund.

Full disclosure: I'm a college physics professor.

You're making it sound like writing a good textbook (or notes to take the place of one) is somehow straightforward or easy. Believe me, it is not. I've taught out of half a dozen intro physics textbooks and served as a peer reviewer for portions of another, and some of them were just plain cruddy. Sometimes that meant actual errors in the physics (I got that chapter rewritten), but more often it was just books with unhelpful explanations or pointlessly confusing homework problems or weirdly flawed assumptions about what students using the book already know.

In the past couple of decades, there has been a lot of research on what actually makes a physics textbook work, and a number of good, innovative texts have emerged from that (some of which look quite different from the traditional approach, in one way or another). The textbook authors I've talked to (good ones!) have talked about the care they put into gradually ramping up the level of sophistication in the suggested homework problems over the course of a semester. They've thought in depth about the pros and cons of different orders of the traditional material, and about what topics deserve emphasis and which could be reduced or cut. They've tried to strike a balance between rigor and accessibility of the material.

None of that is easy to get right! And despite quite a lot of looking, I've sadly not yet found a freely-available intro physics textbook that is even half as good as the modern, research-based texts that I know. So despite having had concerns about the price, I've asked my students to buy good textbooks that I believe can form the basis of quality learning (and that don't leave me ranting to friends and family at night about how once again I'm having to teach around some substandard bit of a textbook). I have not studied the literature of Physics Education Research enough to be able to reliably write with equal skill myself. (Happily, the textbook I'm using now is sold as six smaller volumes, so at least the students aren't paying for content they won't use.)

I'm not at all clear on which part of all that is "valuing kickbacks over what's best for my students". But I can tell you that I agonize over the choice, and I worry about cost, and I have still concluded that the best learning experience is going to come with the help of well-written textbooks by people who actually know what they're doing.
Most relevant here on HN I think would be the ability to communicate and articulate ideas very quickly and efficiently. I say dividends because while you can get rusty, the skill never really goes away; I constantly feel grateful for all the time I’ve put into improving my drawing skills over the years.

“Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” is the book I typically recommend for anyone at any skill level.
Finally some sort of explanation. Thee feature set is great for complex use cases but the cloud version is unusably slow. Worse the support team seems trained for pretend like it's not a problem. The last web app I remember being as slow as Jira is Friendster.
For tracking my personal task list I'm quite liking emacs org mode so far but I'm still getting the hang of it. It's not really a solution for teams though.
Since at least the early 2000s, and certainly throughout the Bush and Obama administrations, the media has felt perfectly free to basically ignore any Presidential press conference they didn't think was interesting. You were doing good if the media passed on a few soundbites or put a story about it (in their words, with their framing) on the front page.

Twitter, for better or worse, gives you direct access to normal people. I'm no fan of Musk, but I'm inclined to believe that if our financial (and in the example, political) system is so fragile that tweets can blow it all to hell, we have a serious problem and system collapse is inevitable.
It’s not just buying interests, though, is it? It’s where you go, who you talk to, what you talk about, your sexual preferences, bank balance, religious views, whether you have weapons in your home, whether you’re having an illicit affair, what medications you’re taking, etc.
I think it's reasonable to take that bit as implied. Making it explicit leaves the title sounding a bit weird.

Edit: since people are continuing to comment about this, I've added the word "surviving" above.
That is awesome. Nothing wrong with that at all. I was mainly responding to the fatalist side of your comment.
This isn't reddit. If you don't have anything worth saying just keep your pointless political snipes to yourself.
No it's not. If you talk about the world's oldest woman, no one expects you to include Cleopatra in the running.
That's certainly how things should be. But this clause was one of Oracle's early innovations (https://danluu.com/anon-benchmark/) and they did pretty well. Do we need to understand how they got away with it to have a good chance of changing the norm?
Nope. You don't need to protect us from people who do a bad job benchmarking we can do that ourselves. If we read their methodology and disagree we can make up our own minds. Anyway my experience is terrible with Atlassian's services so without benchmarks I can just continue to assume that is true forever and always recommend against them when we're making infrastructure decisions. I guess I can thank you for a big bundle of products less to consider.
I think he did. No one reads press releases...

I am not a fan of Trump but I think it's cool (terrifying?) that we can get his stream of consciousness through Twitter.

Is this older than the Book of Kells or is the fact that it is so well intact the remarkable thing?
hey so I noticed you were getting downvoted, but in a way you are right.. I worked at a large bank in mexico and construction business is divided by different firms, some more corrupt than others, the construction isn't really controlled by cartels or mafias, but their own construction corrupt syndicates, kinda.. but definitely it is a pain to deal with them when they decide certain bribes are not enough, they often block entrances to buildings with heavy machines or interfere in other construction firms work.. But is is a seperate problem from drug cartels completely
Bit torrent is probably more absolute bits sent per byte downloaded than http, just because there's the management traffic.

Ignoring that, bit torrent is likely to do the bulk transfer over different links than a download from a central server. This seems likely to result in an overall higher number of bytes downloaded, but it's hard to model. It can also lead to congestion in parts of the network that were not normally congested.
BitTorrent doesn't necessarily mean everyone seeds, nor that access is free.

If there was some kind of micropayments infrastructure for seeders/leechers/content owners, I would happily seed arbitrary-but-legal torrents with my 1000/1000mbps connections in exchange for credits towards media or cash to cover the connection ... While I imagine you'd pay to download using BitTorrent, with some tiny fraction going to me (proportional to resource consumption) but never seeding to others.
Not complex? We have to hire entire teams of people just to handle that confangled mess of options and wierd defaults and strange behavior to not slow down the developers and everyone else.

> I am pretty sure System.Type is partially implemented via unsafe code.

Metadata discovery can be done with safe code, it is stored in the PE (on disk). Cecil is a good example of this in action.

Execution of reflected entities is done with runtime intrinsics. Strictly speaking it is unsafe code (as it is written in C/++), but it isn't roped in by any usual means.

Skimming over this article shows that Swift reflection is, effectively, an interface implemented by every object. While the automagic dynamic reflection sounds cool, my alarm bells are ringing because a huge amount of useful tooling needs static bindings. It's one of those cool ideas that is better left unimplemented: it's far more reliable to write a utility library to do this.
Tracker?
The funny thing is, it was in the HN comments about the source of that story (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10962253) that was revealed that the Fanimatrix torrent was still being seeded.
In the rural South, lots of people do this with guns.

Guns are easy to sell, but you don’t want to sell them. They hold their value but you’re emotionally invested just enough not trade them unless you have a true need.

It’s an informal banking system, complete with unwritten rules about how you should offer a gun back to the person you bought it from before selling it yourself.
>most customers with an unmetered connection would take it because it's effectively free money

not really, because have to pay for the electricity costs of leaving your computer on 24/7. assuming a modest 50W power consumption for a PC, that works out to 36KWh per month, or $3.6 at 10 cents /Kwh. That alone wipes away your $1/month you're saving. also, that's a third of the monthly plan cost, how much of a discount can netflix really offer here?

as for hard disk space, I'll grant it's "free" space (as in the consumer wasn't going to use it anyways), but running consumer drives 24/7 with frequent seeks can't be good for them.
Now that I know the ceo’s life story, I’d like to know how the technology works. How is it an improvement over existing technologies?
This way they can make you spend a ton of time bringing up a trial version on your internal systems to do the benchmarking. Effectively forcing lock in and sunk costs fallacy thinking then put you into tons of meetings that are really just attempts to upsell.

No, it is much more advantageous for them to engage in stuff like PRISM which has no public oversight or accountability and then play pretend in courts. Also this gives them more leverage, they would much prefer these things come in the form of legislation that creates barriers to entry for social media.

They'll probably offer a free year of credit monitoring. Hopefully it was a really good cup of coffee. At least those accepting the offer have a (somewhat) better understanding of the price upfront than those on the web do... that's something.
> It's not that there's anything to hide

Clauses like these make me think you think there is. Which is perhaps a bigger red flag than the attempted censorship in itself.

> Spreading wrong performance information can hurt a business.

Firstly, I'd suggest you should perhaps focus on trying to educate your users on how to make better performance tests - if they are bad at making benchmarks then they are likely bad at running your server as well.

Secondly, boohoo. Not spreading unflattering but correct performance information might not hurt your business but will hurt your customers.

Lastly, you are curtailing speech which isn't ethical and due to that I'm pretty ambivalent if any hurt visited your business. Imagine if everyone did that about everything.

> complex

> requires expertise

I'm sure every despot anywhere used a variation of your argument, something about economics being complex offshoot of mathematics that requires expertise to handle so you best not share any overly rushed opinions.

> Apache-built binaries

Which people can benchmark to their heart's content and I'd hope the clause would irritate many people into publishing their own benchmarks..
In practice this is not as easy as you think. More often than not, you don't know the email address they will use. I often tell them up front that they'll get a spam checking email that they are free to ignore. I whitelist once I get their email.
Its always the people/expertise, rarely the tool or language.
Why did they switch back to central distribution?
because if you're offering customers $1/month discount to use their computers as cache boxes, but dedicated 1 caching box is equivalent to 500 customers in terms of capacity, then if the amortized cost of 1 caching box is less than $500/month, it's cheaper to go with the dedicated cache box than to pay customers to run cache boxes.

(all numbers are hypothetical)
The biggest problem is that once everyone switches, it will get manipulated like Google and the cycle will repeat :(
20% is not enough, you need to wrangle the remaining votes which is not a sure thing.

'Hedge Funds' do this by forming a cabal with other funds and institutional investors.

This is totally unlike Alphabet or Facebook etc. where there is real and direct power.

I don't doubt is shareholders really wanted him gone they could punt Musk.
To be frank, this is a concern to me, and I think I'm already on some spam lists. Recently two folks using Gmail told me my (regular, written by me) email showed up in their Junk folder. I checked others who use Gmail and it showed up fine for them.

I may end up using a separate domain for those emails. I'm pretty sure that's a weak solution.
It matters when it's a big chunk and the fund leads a movement among shareholders many of whom may be tiny, dispersed, or possibly passive.
Optical network surprises sometimes like when certain wavelengths on a cable will become unreliable due to damage but others work fine.

The hyper distributed micro services are definitely one of the big reasons for unnecessary complexity and latency problems. It was surprising for me to see that the JVM based services were load tested for 4-10 minutes to call the test successful.

I love DDG! It's been my main search engine for some time now. But sometimes when I am searching for a solution for complex problems, I fall back to google by using `g!` because that, time and again, seems to take me to the answers faster.
The Chinese Government has many advanced methods of social control, from constant cctv surveillance, direct access to every social media network, massive censorship powers, etc.

The comedown from empire isn't pretty and even if the trade war somehow delays China from superseding the US GDP it is somewhat inevitable. Although the social credit system probably comes to the US it is naive at best to assume that the vast majority of other forms of control that China has developed don't make their way over the Pacific.
When the clock hits 4pm, I have a daily standup meeting. About half the time, this meeting occurs, and I go home afterwards immediately. If it doesn't happen, a quorum of people had something better to do. If I don't have anything actually urgent or interesting, I tend to bail with the others. Otherwise, I work away until maybe 5:15, then I go home.

I'm basically paid to be on-hand 9-5, so that's what I do. I don't check email outside work hours as a rule. If there's something technically interesting, or is important to do but cannot be done within the constraints of a business workday (basically, anything that involves deep thought, concentration, and sustained effort), I may choose to do it when that's convenient for me. And I know things; I remember, and I've been around long enough to know the whys and wherefores and sequences of events that led up to the present state of things.
I gave this talk[0] a few weeks ago at MyData 2018 about ActivityPub. Dmitry was going to come and talk about Solid on the same panel, but couldn't make it last minute. So I spoke a bit about Solid at the end too, and compared and contrasted.

> I think a Tesla shareholder should be pretty happy with this settlement. The $20m fine at a time when Tesla is already running low of cash is certainly tough news, but every other part of this settlement is probably good news for the company's long term health.

Hi there. More than 1/4 of my net worth, and over 1/2 of my equity holdings are in TSLA. I agree with every word of this. The $20M hurts, but on net, I think this is better for Tesla than if Elon had won the lawsuit.
Not that I have mastered it, but what I have found richly rewarding, and in a similar vein, is learning about MIDI and beatmaking. I bought a MIDIFighter 3D from DJ Tech Tools, and just started messing around. I'm still a novice, but expanding out from there and purchasing a Roland TR-8 (rebooted TR-808) and learning how to program beats into it has been a blast. And I have learned a ton in process. You naturally move into how to get better sounds for your recording, and learn what you need to know to try to get the sound in your head into the recording. You get to experiment. You get exposed to new types of music, and whole subcultures of enthusiasts and professionals that you probably never knew existed.

I've mostly tried to practice "controllerism" or "finger drumming". There's tons of different soundpacks for Ableton (Lite is free, but limited), Traktor, and other software. It's really relaxing sometimes to just sit and tap out beats and clear your mind by concentrating on it. It's like an adult version of Simon where you get to set the pattern. It's really fun, and you can get a capable USB MIDI controller for a hundred bucks, even better deals on Craigslist. There's a lot of tutorials on Youtube to get you started, if you decide to give it a try.

Here's a good example of what controllerism is, if you are curious: https://youtu.be/mUUbbaBkZHw?t=28 (skipped ahead of some cursing at the beginning of the video).
Following Tesla is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

The next few steps are painfully obvious. I hate to watch.

The board can now officially outvote Elon, so the first bond that defaults will result in Tesla getting sold to BMW or Mercedes (or ?). I predict this will happen within 24 months.

And no.... I don't hold a short position. I actually do want the home team to win.

Curiously, C# provides the behavior one would expect.

It does so by distinguishing IEnumerable<T> [1], and IEnumerator<T> [2]. The first would be the result of the map call (Select in C#'s LINQ), representing a sequence, that could be generated, and the later is the one, that actually generates it one by one, and has to be consumed.

I wonder why Rust did not take C#'s approach.
