can we not do this here please?

Nobody wants that, nobody is saying they want that, there are mitigations against that (like backups), and it's a stupid straw man that's not even trying to engage in a meaningful conversation on the topic.
You clearly have little clue how Switzerland manages the relationship with EU.

The Swiss are literally waiting for UK to leave EU, to see what they can demand. And they also want to restrict immigration...

Guess who's going to find it harder to negotiate as a result? UK, for trying to get an ultra special deal...
Some good points there. A couple of things to add from my experience.

The asking hard questions is very important. I once interviewed with a startup that just raised $3MM. You pay them a small fee and if your flight gets cancelled they find you a new one for free. I pressed the founder hard on why someone like me would buy that insurance and his answer eventually was for the same reason you buy insurance for your car or house. Once he gave me that answer I knew I'm not going to work there. And this was actually a nice startup with some good people. There are much worse startups with founders who have no clue and god knows how they managed to raise money. One founder once told me he is well connected and one phone call and people write him checks (red flag). Then there are the ones who are really shady and will lie about everything. Be very careful and don't ignore the red flags!

Another important point is that you need to make sure the startup really needs you. In the past I talked with two startups that built their pitch around AI but they had very little knowledge of AI so what they had in mind wasn't really possible and even if it was, the product had millions of other things to succeed before AI was even needed. The problem is that founders sometimes focus too much about their pitch and how to impress investors rather than on their product.
Do you have any concrete example for "For example, in java, scanning your classes and their annotations to generate code for them at compile time is a standardized feature"?

That is primary reason why I don't like watching Dr Who. My kids love it but most episodes are magically resolved at end for my liking.
There is an old show floor demo I've heard about where a bunch of barb wire is used to transmit Ethernet data. The crucial part was spacing the wires apart to get the right impedance. Don't recall what speed them were transmitting though.
Very interesting article. It could be argued that the webapps/internet/browsers are now doing the same to the OS. For casual uses any OS is the same.

"Language" and "code" are shitty metaphors for what DNA does in living organisms, and it misses almost everything about what's needed to go from the molecule complex to the phenotype.
Divine beings (and possibly Real Programmers, who mastered the use and internals of C-x M-c M-butterfly [https://xkcd.com/378/]) may get away with doing their work despite thinking about it that way. Everyone else need not apply.

It will be crashing when the market caps start retracing previous years. Its still ridiculously high to what it was in 2016 or any year before that. We have a good five years of "evidence" to the get rich quick scheme that attracts money into crypto so a lot of ignorant naive people will keep slowly coming in to find their money lost.
I was looking at a teardown[1] of USB wall chargers. Surprisingly the Touchpad charger was rated quite well. I guess that Touchpad was good for something after all.

Rust in stable releases hasn't made any serious breaking changes since 1.0 in 2015. There were tiny breakages in edge cases caused by more or less bug fixes, in line from breakages you might get when upgrading GCC to a newer version.

If you find your dependencies are breaking:

• Keep a lockfile (Cargo.lock) committed in your project, so that your deps won't suddenly get updated to some newer, potentially buggy/incompatible version.

• If you're updating dependencies, also update the compiler. It's possible that new versions of dependencies require latest version of compiler.
Why FinTech Applications Are So Costly and Slow to Build
I've been thinking about that analogy a lot lately. Eventually (or soon) software will be much like infrastructure. People might be paid to make specific improvements to public projects. This is already starting to happen in some places.
More ironically, you’ve just demonstrated exactly why they found it necessary to address these incorrect claims.
> I wanted to check whether the official Nvidia driver uses C++,

I don't know for nvidia, but I had a problem two years ago on a machine with a radeon card: I was developing a GUI software which used LLVM at some point. Insta-crash at runtime on this computer whenever I'd oepn a window. The reason ? the radeon driver linked and initialized LLVM which didn't support being initialized twice...
I'm talking about spacecraft for humans. Going fast is much more important for humans than robots and nuclear is the only way to go. (BTW RTG's are also nuclear, just really low power and don't allow for adjustable output)
I had the XP service pack burned to a CD (or maybe DVD?) because on my college campus Code Red would infect a computer on install faster than you could download the patches.
I find the GitLab issue board to have a poor UX. For example, depending on where you click, it will open a small summary to the right or it will open a new page with all the issue information.

Also, it is ridiculously expensive to have epics, compared to every other issue tracker I have seen, in GitLab issues.
I haven't tried it in 4 years myself. But I invested in a company that just launched their product two months ago and already regrets building it on Mongo.

So there was a full office suite that ran under XENIX? Was it ever released? Character mode, graphics mode? Did it have printer drivers? Do you remember the name? I'm fascinated by the idea of an unreleased piece of work that significant.
You phrased this cynically, but yes, that's correct, and ideal for democratic values. You should elaborate on why you think those two cases show inconsistency.
And, that's exactly why it only costs $30.
The metaphor of early startup employee as investor seems really smart at first but is ludicrous in reality.

It is physically impossible to choose a startup like a VC because you cannot diversify your portfolio like they can. VCs can sprinkle (relatively) small amounts of money across dozens or hundreds of startups. If one fails then the impact to the portfolio is negligible. In fact, VCs expect that most of their portfolio probably won't pan out.

Good luck diversifying as an employee. Working part time at even 2 startups is obviously laughable.

If you're in it for the money, working at a startup is probably not for you. It really is akin to gambling. There may seem to be more information available than gambling, but there is so much unknown and hidden information it's damn near impossible to make a 'rational' decision.

That's not to say you should never work at a startup. Startups are often great learning opportunities because you usually have both broad and deep scope of responsibility. There's also often better alignment between management and employees because people tend to be working stuff that is materially relatable to the bottom line. It can also be a career accelerator if the company grows headcount rapidly and you suddenly become a 'senior person'™. YMMV.

> There are ways the historian can read between the lines of the recipes, so to speak to answer questions that are not directly related to cooking or material culture but may deal with gender roles, issues of class, ethnicity and race. Even topics such as politics, religion and world view are revealed in the commentary found in cookbooks and sometimes embedded in what appears to be a simple recipe. The most valuable of cookbooks and related culinary texts also reveal what we might call complete food ideologies...

> Nor should any of these caveats prevent the historian from cooking historic recipes today. There is something palpably direct to be gained from tasting food from the past, in much the same way as one can learn from hearing a symphony on period instruments or viewing an old painting in a museum. The esthetic values that inform flavor preferences of the past are indeed very different from our own. Some ingredients people enjoyed would today be considered abhorrent; some flavors and textures bizarre if not disgusting. But this should not deter the intrepid investigator... What one learns from such an exercise is a feeling for the embodied experience of physically carrying out certain culinary tasks and a direct apprehension of what the palates of our forebears might have experienced.

I believe the number assumes that you can get hashpower at the current price for (a small amount of) hashpower. However, as demand increases, the price goes up, making the attack more expensive in practice. Also, if people notice what you're doing, they'll probably stop selling hashpower to you (since you're attacking what makes their hardware valuable), driving your costs up further.
It's almost like living in a bubble is bad for ideas.
Reading between the lines, I think what he's really saying is that outsourced work will be bolstered by VR which will have much cheaper tooling.

Anything complicated enough -- like most software uses are -- will remain so.

Some niche fields aside (e.g. games, robotic surgery, immersive education, exercise, and obviously porn, the niche field to end all niche fields) VR only makes using the computer more tedious (as you have to move your body). We have seen mostly the trend of disassociating with our bodies through computers...
Hey HN, Stavros from TileDB here. We are excited to announce this newest round of funding to help us continue the development on TileDB! There was some excellent discussion about TileDB on HN previously here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15547749. We are happy to answer any questions.
It's international espionage. Four anonymous sources is all we're ever going to get.

And the consensus appears to generally be that NK did hack Sony in 2014, so I don't know what you're on about. There are suggestions of alternatives but nothing concrete or in accordance with the known evidence.
There's no easy way to inspect the runtime in js to find all functions or all classes that can be loaded/called.

There's no way to hook into the loading of modules in a standard way - you have to know how the modules are compiled and required.
Ask HN: Migrating from Webfaction to where?
I've used Webfaction for many years but having seen the company become increasingly irrelevant in the past years and now acquired by GoDaddy, I would really like to hear what alternatives there are out there. Looking for:

* shared hosting aimed at devs and indie hackers who don't want to manage servers or services (so no Digital Ocean or AWS type of providers).

* a powerful control panel that does DNS, email, etc yet offers convenient features like 1-click installers for Wordpress

* shell access
You know, my advice is colored by the use cases I have: I'm usually in one of two situations:

First, situations where performance doesn't matter, and it needs to be cheap and Just Work. Intel beats everyone else here. (I'm really eager to see what Intel does with their upcoming discrete video card.)

Second, situations where performance is a Big Deal, and I'm willing to both pay money and jump through hoops to get it. Nvidia was winning here the last time I looked closely.

ATI products exist somewhere in the middle, and I can't remember the last time that I needed anything like that.

I think your first paragraph is on the money, this is indeed how many engineers and engineering managers think. You seem to throw in your cards with that viewpoint in your second paragraph, though, and I think the logic there is circular. Engineers and engineering managers persistently devalue the skillset behind being an excellent technical writer, and the value that an excellent technical writer brings to a project, which in turn weakens the “bargaining foundations” of technical writers artificially. It’s been my experience as an engineer that this artificial devaluation is harmful to projects both directly and indirectly, because technical writers are inevitably aware of the fact that it’s happening. That technical writing maybe has a greater foundation in so-called “soft skills” doesn’t mean that it’s less valuable, and especially in cases like Rust where the documentation can very reasonably be considered part of the product, it’s a huge mistake to undervalue the work of someone like Steve Klabnick that way. In general, I can’t imagine being resentful of a technical writer earning as much or more than me as an engineer: a perfect gem of software engineering that no one uses is a failed product, and it’s very much because of the work of technical writers that good projects see widespread use.

Oh yes, and make the tomatoe sauce in the morning when you eat in the evening, adding extra virgin olive oil, pepper, salt, oregano, whatever you like, but I think the flavors are getting better with more time, just like the dough. That said some pizzaiolos from Napoli seem to make the dough at room temperature or 18° with around 8 to 12 hours rise, which is not that much. I've had great problems last summer, even with 2g fresh yest per 1000g flour it was crazy how fast it has risen... way too fast at around 24 degrees room temp... then in the basement at around 19, but still

For me the refrigerator works way better with a constant temperature :)
The "legitimate" fork can only be identified if you were online when the 51% attack started. Users who have started up their ETC client after the attack started will just see two forks and will pick the one with more blocks (which will be the 51% attacker's fork). No one wants a permanent fork, so the clients that were online the whole time disregard their knowledge of the previous "legitimate" fork and adopt the attacker's fork because it has more work and because that's the one everyone else is using.

Also, if you have clients follow the rule "never switch forks" to protect against 51% attacks, then any network partitions will cause a permanent fork.

Audi incorporates car movement into new VR system
6 is useful for non-dense high-bandwidth environments where you might need to get 10G-BASET a little further than 5e will manage, but 6 doesn't address enhanced alien crosstalk. This means in dense environments it may struggle. 6A does, via shielding, and so will work better in dense environments (where you're likely to see 10G-BT anyway).
Word Spectrum: Visualizing Google's Bi-Gram Data
Government organizations should be required to adopt open social media networking protocols such as ActivityPub, a W3C recommendation:

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

What I envision is instead of having various elected officials and executive agencies all managing social media accounts of various centralized third-party platforms, these organizations would self-manage their own social media infrastructure (much in the same way these entities already self-manage their own DNS, web presence, and email infrastructure today.)
I just bought 1k feet of Cat 6 cable and ran it through my house two days ago. Would have been useful to know then.

He was saying that we don't communicate via everybody writing on the board simultaneously, not that its not a valid form of communication in groups. People take turns.
Most video conferencing is fairly crap to it's actual potential, 2 decades in. I'm not so confident VR will be there either.
That wouldn't be the real problem, since multiple people could "escape together" in the same VR world.

"Very very few people who don't believe in the mission of whatever their organization does make it very long in government. Government organizations are such a political and bureaucratic nightmare that you need to believe in what they do to be able to see past all that.
"

That's simply not true. Go to DC and you will meet a lot of dedicated and highly qualified people working at agencies. And they stay around. The real problem is Congress and some of the media that just scream "government bad" and "deep state" instead of doing their job which is to give the agencies guidance and fixing problems.
It really depends on the project and the contribution(s).

I have experience with many open source projects, and the large ones are generally closed to small new contributions (the ones that can be studied and written in a few hours). Most of the time, they will rot, even if they're useful (as in "solves an open issue" useful) and competently written.

Some time ago, there was discussion (commotion) about the years-old Python bug fix that was never mainstreamed. In the real open source world, that's routine. Even Torvalds once acknowledged this phenomenon; I stress that I'm talking about competently written code.

Once, the maintainers of a certain project, which is structured around donations, essentially ignored my company's development contribution offer, even if it was significantly more valuable than the donation(s) they typically get.

To summarize, for small projects, or those who desire traction, contributing by all means, but for large ones... money, or just shift the attention to smaller ones :-)

> This prohibits the public official from engaging in viewpoint discrimination in the use of facilities which control who can participate and how.

Would it prevent a public official from creating an account on a social media site which only allows members of one political party to leave comments? Presumably so, at least for an account that was used as part of the official's job.

But what about a social media site whose sign-up rules discriminate against other classes of people, such as ethnicity or gender? What about Iranian-Americans living in Iran? At what point could a site's terms of service make it unconstitutional for a politician to use that site?
I used to take the city bus for a quarter to the public library in the fourth grade, 2 miles away. My mom's the one who taught me to use the bus. I know it was fourth grade because we moved to another city when I was in the fifth grade. That was in 1988.

My wife would barely let the kids play in the front yard despite us living in signficantly wealthier, lower-crime neighborhoods.
What works for companies doesn't work for cryptocurrencies. Companies have actual assets and cash flows, while cryptos do not. Companies are routinely acquired for a bonus above the total market cap (a premium on the share price times all shares outstanding). The same would never happen for cryptos.

A better analogy would be to calculate the "market cap" of gold.

Hi Pia, we love Open Collective and are using it to donate to one of our sponsored projects. The platform is a great way to relieve a good deal of pain that OSS devs would have to endure in running a funded project.

One of the hardest things we've found is helping small projects (1 or 2 people) that don't have/need the structure of Open Collective but still could use the funds. PayPal is surprising bad since you can't even accept a recurring payment without going through hoops to set up a page/button.
Sorry I wasn’t clear: I can invest well more than the home equity people are building in normal markets. Just not enough to own in my local, extremely expensive market.
Not if you're much larger than the alternatives, which tends to be the case.
I don't think it's fair to call nouveau developers' work garbage – they did a tremendous job with the resources they had at their disposal. They received close to no support from nvidia.
Look at the graph of spending on children, look at how the lines for the bottom 3 quintiles have gone down since the '80s and '90s. That's very disheartening to see, parents are going to try their hardest to give their kids the best chances, and yet 60% of families have been squeezed by the economy into providing less for their children than previous generations. This despite inflation adjusted per capita GDP nearly doubling since the early '80s. The economy is growing, wealth is being created, but it's being funneled into a tiny portion of the population. For so long "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer" has been a common refrain without being strictly true, but now it's become true.
