Nobody needs an app for anything, but the Reddit app is far superior for me vs. their mobile experience. So much so that I refuse to install it because it makes Reddit far more addictive. Same for Facebook. A huge percentage of their usage is the mobile app vs. mobile web. Like Reddit, part of that is due to them making the mobile web experience crappier to drive app adoption, but that's not the only thing going on. The web just for UX in many ways, and will never beat a well-built app for anything other than ease of initial installation.
Well, the difference for the CPU analogy might be that we know exactly what to have them do, and they do exactly that (sans bugs, hah). Brains, whether it's architectural or hormonal, have many other factors that influence their workings, and aren't necessarily deterministically programmable as processors are.
Yeah, their idea will fail on "add only your closest friends" guideline.

If one really cares - they may just do the same on FB or just add closest people to the group designed for.. closest people.

Most people active on socials likes to see their counters grow. Likes, friends, subscriptions.

Just another social network to register and install the app isn't going to fix that.

Why Pursuing Your Dream Is Still Important
Interesting. My experience is the opposite - in dynamically typed languages like Erlang, Clojure or Common Lisp, flatten is understood to flatten lists, and flatmap is something else entirely - from what I gather, it's Scala that made the weird choice of naming a concatenation function `flatten`, thus creating `flatMap`[0], and then people started borrowing the name.

From this I provisionally conclude that "flatten" being non-recursive is an artifact of Scala confusing things; not an unusual thing in my experience with this language, but this time it seems to have gotten out of hand, instead of being contained within Scala ecosystem.

A dystopian vision of the future: Announcement on Beijing-Shanghai train
If nobody understands anything other than passwords, how has 2FA taken off at all? How have password managers taken off at all?

What if the password manager were in charge of logging you in _directly_, through some new protocol between browsers and PW managers? How could that _possibly_ be more friction? It would be strictly less. Hell, it could be done without even informing the user that this new feature was being rolled out, and they sure as hell wouldn't complain about inconvenience because of a step removed from the login process.

Asking people to deal with more and more and longer and longer passwords is a usability nightmare. It's a absurdity.
The idea isn't that everyone gets up at sunrise. People in equatorial regions would be the last people to care about this stuff. DST is not an issue there. People in more polar regions tend to not care that much about daylight in the winter. There is so little of it and it is so cold that it makes no difference. There is so much light in the summer that it makes little difference when you get up. People in polar regions might actually like a sort of anti-DST offset so they can get some darkness in the evening in the summer.

It is people in the temperate latitudes that tend to care.
> At this point such a contraption would be less painful than some of Apple's recent transitions (e.g. from PPC to x86).

I find that hard to believe. Apple only had to build emulators for their ISA changes, just translating instruction set into another. Doesn't sound painful at all. WINE on the other hand has good reasons for pointing out that it's not an emulator.
This. They run millions of Linux systems in Azure and need well known tools for it. So they ported ProcDump to Linux. And open sourced it, because customers may also need it.

They needed some grip on developers to promote Azure. So they hand out VSCode and .NET Core.

I don't understand what you mean by updated situation? Have things changed in the last month or two? From a commenter above, that's apparently not the case.

Microsoft is large enough and profitable enough that if they actually cared, they'd pay out the agreement's terms and stop it. They could actually use it as a "We're sorry, we've stopped doing this" marketing to the folks who're pissed off about it.

And to repeat that again for eeevery damn ad/preload application. It takes a damn sight longer than 5 seconds to remove the ones you can actually remove. But there's still other preloaded apps like OneDrive that I can't remove or even hide.

Biometrics are really more equivalent to a user name than they are a password.

Sure, they get used in some applications as a "password" because it's "cool" but it's fair to say biometrics is public information so while many biometric services do their best to avoid being spoofed, they're really more akin to a user name.

I'd also like to point out that fingerprint scanners don't work if you need to use then when you've just gotten out of the bath / been swimming. If something is going to replace passwords then I'd want to be damn sure I can use it 100% of the time I need to (baring when I personally fuck up - eg forgetting my password).
Show HN: PHP-FPM 7.4 (Seven Four) dockerized sneak preview
Right, as I said: stderr is not only for errors
It is a loss making concern. Hence offloaded to PSA. There is over-capacity in the market, too many cars, not enough buyers. Life is on hold due to Brexit plus there are unions, politicians and the media to manage.

They have cut the shifts from two to one, let go of a few hundred workers, so, as of now it is half closed already.

There is another Opel plant in Poland making the Astra, the Astra being the only model they make there. The next Astra model comes along in 2020, which is two years away. There is no money on the table from the UK government to make this happen.

The plant in Poland is brand new, Ellesmere Port is vintage. Wages are cheaper in Poland, Poland will also have better access to the EU market if Brexit happens. Brexit is happening unless there is some fluke event that obliterates parliament and miraculously restores sanity.

The engines, transmission and much else that lurks beneath the Astra all comes from Europe, none of that is made in the UK. In Poland these important sub-assemblies can come from over the border in Germany, no post-Brexit WTO tariffs needed.

Everyone wants crossovers these days, the Astra as it exists is at the end of the model life, is not a crossover and limps on in the UK market because it is notionally British.

Luton is a different story, vans come from there and PSA like their vans. Right now their main van is a joint venture with Renault, effectively from the purchase of GM Europe PSA get to where they need to be with vans.

There are dealer networks as well as factories, the former, particularly with vans, is of interest to PSA.

Renault have ended the joint venture with PSA, they now have a partnership going with Mercedes. The depths of this I don't know, they share engines and South America is a big part of the plans.

Here is an earlier story about how Ellesmere Port must 'shape up', note how the Corsa (made in Spain) already has plans laid out for the new Corsa and electric Corsa. There is no 'electric Astra' mentioned. The 'electric Astra' (if it ever exists) won't be designed from scratch for some people in The Wirral to put together with their existing screwdriver operation, you can good-as-guarantee it will be an electrified PSA model with a different badge on it, if at all.

I've always been of the opinion that biometrics are much more closely related to a username rather than a password. There will always be ways to either fake or compel biometric scans, and having a second layer of proof required to authenticate and authorize seems like the only responsible thing to do.

Syncronized directory permissions

When using dockerized LAMP stacks for local development, you probably also came across the issue of syncing file permissions between the local system and the Docker mounted directories. This has been addressed as well by parsing the uid/gid to the container which will then internally assign the same user/group for running process as your local OS user. This has been proven to work for Linux, Mac and Windows. To read more about the concept go here: https://github.com/devilbox/docker-php-fpm#unsynchronized-pe...

Let me know of any issues, I am always happy to improve, discard outdated ideas and try new concepts.

To be clear, I didn't mean it in the sense of "there is a global trend towards less app installations", but rather "I already have 100 apps on this phone, I'm not installing this one too". I think that's anecdotally true for most people who have had a smartphone for a while.

Of course strictly speaking I will install more apps in the future, but the chance that it's going to be the kind of App that I could just use as a website is practically zero.

Alright, so here you finally hear it said out loud - it's all about whether interviewers like you, not whether you are a top performer. Increase your likability by any means necessary, don't spend too much time on building your technical excellence, it's pointless and not rewarded if you want to be at FAANG.

> IMO this is too restrictive. You reduce philosophy to a job title or diploma title. I guess, many philosophers would not agree with this definition.

I'd say that it is usually what we treat philosophy as when these discussions come up. As you said, it's probably too restrictive, and the truth is we're all philosophers to some degree, and all working off of certain philosophical underpinnings. But the article (and many philosophers) end up treating philosophy as the above poster describes ("what academics who work in philosophy departments do").

If we use a broad definition of philosophy then of course it is useful, and of course its changed over time (most would consider it progress, some wouldn't). But this doesn't seem to say anything about whether or not the small subsection of philosophers who work as academics in philosophy departments have made useful contributions recently. The fact that they struggle so much with this question suggest that they might not have.
I wouldn’t say 2FA or password managers have “taken off”. I don’t have numbers, but just from my small sample of friends/family, only people who are technically advanced or who I have forced (my wife ;) use password managers.

People who remember the Microsoft from the 90's and early 00's are justifiably wary of them "embracing" things they like. When we used that word it was generally followed by two others, none of which was "supporting".

Ads everywhere, dark patterns in the UI etc... There are reasons to be cautious when we see them setting foot in FLOSS world, there's history here and it's not like MS suddenly turned into a non-profit open-source advocacy organization.

>Electric power is current times voltage, that means with higher voltage you need less current.

It just do not work like this.

Logic gates are constructed from voltage-controlled variable resistors, to simplify things. When input voltage is 0 (Vgnd), some transistors have high resistance and some other low one. When you switch the voltage to Vcc (5V/12V), they revert roles and these that had high resistance now have low one.

The resistance they have at different input voltages is fixed in the manufacturing process and cannot be changed.

Thus if you put power voltage Vcc=12V you will have (for same input voltage) 12/5 higher current than for Vcc=5V.

Here's the "password" killer: generating random passwords on the server and never letting users input their own passwords.

All issues with reused passwords, password strength, hashing passwords with slow hashes, etc. instantly solved.

Also improves conversion rate since there's no risk the user gives up signing up because he can't be bothered to think about or generate a password.
I received my first fake from the UK site recently; a microSD card. I too was prevented from leaving a review due to “unusual review activity” for that product.

Checking the reviews I saw that many people had also received fakes and left one star reviews. Most reviews were five star, so I guess there’s some commingling or similar.

They’ve sent a replacement but, rightly or wrongly, I feel not only was my time wasted but that I’m subject to a minor coverup.
It's a weird world. Women want to stop being women so they can be like men, intellectually, mentally, and physically. Still though, many want the best of both world. So there is not much equality when you actually just don't want to be a woman, but have to struggle with being one.

A recent article was saying, roughly, that women sports for example are not at all popular for men to watch, and therefore that is sexist, and because of this sexism, these sports don't get watched which reduces the income into these sports, and doesn't equate to big payouts for female athletes.

The cause of this is all male sexism of course..

As we know, there are only two genders, but masculine women and feminine men just dont fit into the typical 'men and women' mentality. As we continue to deplatform traditional male and female ideologies, and replace them with the misbelieve that men are all feminine and women are masculine, and telling people that traditionalists are all Nazis, we're never going to improve anything.
Yes, it almost certainly is quite sketchy... I can’t think of any way it could be securely implemented. In the case I’ve seen it’s the only password used...

I wonder if there is a hashing scheme that would work with some kind of ambiguous entry... I.e. “is the 3rd digit between 5 and 10”.

If you could confirm certain properties of a password/pin from its hash...

Case in point, you are disregarding what he has to say as branding him as an ideologue. You don't have to agree with everything someone says, and doing so would be philosophical suicide by the very definition of it. Just be a little more open on what you can take out his ideas, and if you're not interested in a specific subset of his subjects such as religion or identity politics or his diet (as one of the students in the audience asked him a question on), then just skip that. You be the judge, but be reasonable in your judgement.
As a rule of thumb (pun not intended), biometric data is a username, not a password.
> It usually involves partisan press, activist organizations and whipped-up online crowds with no stake in the platform they're trying to affect.

For someone claiming the moral high ground enfranchising speech, you seem pretty free basing arguments on knowing that certain voices should be ignored. Fortunately, we can skip the boring discussion about the character of different activist groups because it's the listener's opinion that matters -- in this case, the platforms who thought these folks (or their ideas) were worth listening to.

> Speaking of Cloudflare...

I brought up Prince as evidence that platform managers are making their own decisions, not being bullied by crowds. Framing them as victims belittles their agency, ignores their responsibility, and perpetuates this BS chain of victimhood that is required by your arguments in order to make deplatforming look like a conspiracy rather than a big swath of society trying to spend less time with a few jerks.

And of course Cloudflare (or FreeDNS) have the same right to provide services to Gab that others did to deny it. Digressing for a second, I'm personally glad that Prince et al. hold a steeper standard for cutting service than Facebook or even PayPal. DDOS'ing is an infringement of freedom of speech in a way that deplatforming isn't, and right now we're all depending on a very few companies like Cloudflare to be the equivalent of a police force that maintains any notion of commons.

> ...By all accounts, this does not look like a consistent application of TOS.

PayPal felt Gab itself was getting paid, through PayPal, to run a platform that promoted hate speech. That's related to the transaction, and related to the TOS. You can disagree with them, and people can post potentially irrelevant screenshots, but both are sideshow.

> the only context in which deplatformers engage in this faux-libertarianism is after they've gotten their way

Yet again, you're resorting to ad-hominem about the long-term behavior of a group you're barely bothering to define. You don't know anything about me outside this conversation. Lots of different people support or are fine with deplatforming, and many of us also care about the quality of the commons on which the deplatformed can continue to exercise their speech.

But instead of yet another conversation about which broadly defined online group says the most dumb things, why don't you put forward a concrete vision of what your definition of free speech is? It seems to me like it involves something like a right to an audience (sincerely, how is that not a right to force people to interact with to you?). Or perhaps some sort of protected class situation, where you want to clearly define the difference between "passively" enforcing TOS and singling someone out (what would that look like?).

Since quite some evil tactics have been employed by MS against the FLOSS community, it is also good if an official apology would be issued. I really believe such a thing can "clear the air". They are supporting Linux now, and contributing in FLOSS: so we know they do not thing that open source licenses are "evil". Yet they have advocated for them evil in the past. So make a public apology and move on, now it's like they simply hope every one forgets.
