> I strongly agree with your point regarding Vue template strings and JSX being the future of Vue.

I wonder whether that's really true. Most adoption of Vue is from after React and JSX were a thing, and many of the Vue adopters (or at least the ones I encounter online) are adopting it because they found React to complex, or had trouble collaborating with their designers. That sounds like templates are one of its main selling points, especially when compared to React.
> Having said that, I find it to be rather unproductive and pessimistic to assert corruption is endemic to humanity and has nothing to do with ideology. Instead I would argue that the nature of the corruption has everything to do with the ideological foundations of said system.

This kind of blank-slate, "New Soviet Man" idea has been tested and found lacking.
I find that the only scenario that Airbnb still comes in handy for is when you want to book a large place for a group of 8 people or more to stay together.
This has to be the case. I just polled 2 separate offices informally and there's not a single person that said they have complaints about it, even about the volume of the keys, in a sample size of 30+ people.

FWIW, I also prefer a mechanical keyboard but that's not specific to my MacBooks. I prefer to them to any laptop keyboard or normal keyboard out there.
I know only about asyncio.BufferedProtocol. Anything else new in 3.7 which solves any of the mentioned problems?
Mindfulness is the willingness to turn toward our experience
> to donate to open source developers who develop the tools they use

Are those people available to work extra hours for pay though?

I help maintain some open source software but if someone offered me money to work on it more then sorry but I don't have magic extra hours in the day to do that - I've got a full-time job and hobbies of my own.

I think it's better the companies step forward and put the hours in as well as the money.
Cloud Functions PM here. I can give some insight:

* We've been running a private early access preview/alpha since last August.

* This was our first compiled language on Cloud Functions, which came with its own set of challenges.

* It took us a while to find the right approach for supporting dependencies (both Go Modules and vendoring are supported). Unlike other providers, when you deploy your source code, Cloud Functions will automatically install dependencies listed in your go.mod file.

* Our testers gave us a ton of feedback that helped us polish the developer experience -- we identified and fixed many rough edges related to error messages during deployment/build and errors at runtime. Serverless products can be a bit opaque (since you can't just ssh into a machine), so getting this right is important.

I'd like to say that there was one big, interesting challenge that we had to tackle. But the reality is that we worked through many small details that only became apparent during testing. We wanted to address these so that we could offer a high quality experience for our public beta launch. We owe our alpha testers major credit for helping us find and solve issues.

Speaking of testers -- if you have feedback on the runtime, we'd love to hear from you in our Cloud Functions Beta Tester group [1].

You just said it - you can't use them on battery without destroying your battery life.
And some places "rely" on knowing a full name or just a phone number.

We would call that an error on their part, and I don't see why the same logic doesn't apply here.
> The question is, how does one generally control this?

How does one generally control becoming addicted to any addictive substance? Generally, moderation or abstinence, particularly for those susceptible to addiction.

Food addiction is not so different from drug or alcohol addiction, though food has a much shorter 'high' associated with it than nearly any drug. And food addiction is societally acceptable, whereas drug addicts are generally looked down upon.
Exactly. And no mention of the where or what company. Sounds suspicious to me.
As an example, one I often used for persuasion during sales, we had to dial into a location, which gave us access to a corporate network. From there it would VPN into an offsite office. From there I would connect with point to point radios 10 miles apart to a Gas rig running on solar panels. The radios had huge SNR numbers because they were near other commercial comm systems, high power power lines and were mounted on masts that would sway in the wind.

To load up a 25x80 area would give me all sorts of bad characters. Doing single lines, and find and replace made it almost feel like I was right next to the hardware.
It enriches lawyers.

I'm sure they some other veneer for it.
I used to engage in a lot of yak shaving (needless refactors, redesigns, etc), but I never actually shipped anything. I was tired of having a big pile of unfinished projects, so I forced myself to take a more waterfall-y approach to some smaller projects: define the requirements and build only what is needed to meet those requirements. Once it's shipped, I allow myself to look at biting off another chunk of work, but until that chunk of work is done, I'm not doing anything else.
As Upton Sinclair so aptly observed "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

There was a thriving core to the software industry that existed well before the ad-fueled web and still exists today. Plain old business websites, line-of-business internal software, desktop apps, embedded and IoT software, etc., none of these things depend on ads. If you can't see that there is plenty of things to do for software developers to do if ads are curtailed, you need to broaden your horizons.
Some of the earlier users of distortion concocted various home-grown tricks, before dedicated distortion equipment was manufactured. The Kinks would feed one fully-cranked amplifier into a second or third layer to pile on the distortion caused by over-cranking them all, giving them the "you really got me" sound in '64, arguably the first heavy metal hit.

Another musician said he'd poke holes in the speaker with a pencil. And another said the "drunk band" dropped the amplifier while loading it, damaging it, but they liked the damaged sound and kept it.
I'm addicted to coding, I spend 10 hours/day writing code, passion or sickness?
In Brazil law requires services to keep logs for a year. This made me very wary of services like ProtonVPN that put some servers there. A lot of people trust them, but I for some reason don't...
That makes no sense to me. Airbnb has changed travelling for these reasons:

* It is cheaper for the location

* It has a kitchen

* It feels like a home

I don't understand these kind of comments. Can you remember any of the hotel room you've been in the previous years? I can't. Can you remember any of the airbnb you've stayed at? I remember every one of them. There is a true home feeling to them.
The problem with this approach is that it takes years to understand adtech. Reporters try to understand it but simply cannot. It would be a like a normal reporter trying to find the root cause of a financial crisis.

Below is an example of someone trying to write about ad tech, but just making incorrect claims throughout the entire blog post.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18732538

It also doesn't really make sense that every single person who works in adtech is biased, and unable to get around that. If a single person could "fix advertising" then they'd make billions of dollars by changing the entire industry.
It is not a property of human nature. It is endemic in human societies. That hair splits easily, if your knife is sharp enough.

We tolerate the corruption that comes with certain societal structures, because we gain more by having them than we lose from the corruption. You can't scale anything to national or international size without introducing a principal-agent problem.
I'm continually amazed by the number of recruiters I work with who lack the communication skills needed to do their jobs in an environment where everybody's increasingly picky. You'd think they'd step up, considering it can mean the difference between a $30k year and a $200k one, but most of them continually choose low-effort, low-reward paths. It doesn't make that much of a difference to me whether any one recruiter can land me a role. I'll get one eventually. But it matters to the tune of $X0k to them. Boggles my mind.

I need to start coming up with filters to weed the grifters out. Spending 10+ hours on a homework assignment only to find something important wasn't communicated is getting old.
Apple charges about $1/GB for upgrading SSDs in their laptops. I think Electron adds at least 150MB to everything. If you have 2 or 3 Electron apps it's not a big deal, but if you have 20-30 it gets a bit annoying.
Great team player. I hope you hired him.
Yeah, it's really hard to tell what's deliberate and what isn't with false information. I mean, many people would say the likes of Info Wars is fake news, but... I'm pretty sure Jones and co are crazy enough to believe much of what they pubish there.

And given that a lot of media outlets also make mistakes, well it feels like such a situation would basically just make anyone publishing anything absolutely paranoid about ever being 'wrong', which wouldn't really make things any better.
Ask HN: How to get started with open source contribution?
What is the best approach to getting started with open source contribution? It feels a bit intimidating to think about where to start. First of all, how do you pick an area to contribute? Do you go with something that's related to your field of expertise? Is it even feasible to instead pick an area that you want to learn more about? Do you jump straight in and start fixing bugs to get started? What's the typical timeline by which you feel like you are being productive?
I really can't fanthom the thought process that could bring anyone to the point where he wants to strand someone on an airport with a huge bill.

I get that you're angry... but this is vindictive beyond words.

Sue the guy on small claims court, blacklist him, shame him publicly. But cancel his plane ticket so he's stranded and broke on an airport? How inhuman has to be a person to do that? Over a single dumb interview?
Am I the only one who read "director" and thought "Jesus, he must be busy"
WireGuard is very hard to run without logging. It simply wasn’t designed for that and the maintainer was paid once to write “a rootkit-like” piece of code for a VPN provider which hired him to help them fix that.

It’s still an open question afaik

edit: I've worded this weird. I was typing on my phone at lunch stuff I'd just learned this morning[0] which referenced this[1] article saying running a log-less Wireguard might not be possible.

AirVPN in [0]:

> "Wireguard, in its current state, not only is dangerous because it lacks basic features and is an experimental software, but it also weakens dangerously the anonymity layer."

and Perfect Privacy:

> "WireGuard has no dynamic address management, the client addresses are fixed. That means we would have to register every active device of our customers and assign the static IP addresses on each of our VPN servers. [...]"

Things may have changed, but it appears that running a log-less vpn provider is actually more complicated with Wireguard than at first glance. Namely the issues around DynamicIPs.

I'd recommend Git Extensions, still, as a good compromise between porcelain and plumbing. The most useful commands are all at your fingertips, with deeper ones available if necessary. Visualization is best I've seen - clean graph display, easy to read, and _doesn't lie in complex cases like SourceTree does._

SourceTree tends to treat commits with multiple ancestry in a very weird way that has led to difficulty on multiple occasions, where people think changes 'went missing' because SourceTree decided the other ancestor wasn't important enough to show.

When you donate to someone, there aren't strings attached. There are no expected hours. It's merely a "thank you", and an incentive for the person to keep at what he's already doing.

Of course, with enough donations going on, it would be possible to quit your fulltime job like this fellow has done, freeing up even more of his time.
If Land Rover built guitars, it would be a Telecaster.

Basically, their simple construction makes them as simple to modify; when you pick up a Telecaster in the gig shop, you’re just getting started; tuning it to your preference is an ongoing process some people take lots of pleasure in. (Whereas others, as with Land Rovers, curmudgeonly quip that it is a pity Fender didn’t just get it right in the first place; the latter group are IMHO missing the point. :))
They all log, and they all turn those logs over to police agencies when they get court orders to do so. These services are only intended to prevent ISP snooping on legal activities that may be personal or embarrassing, but not illegal. That's it.

If you do something illegal on a VPN connection and think the VPN providers have no logs/evidence, you'll be very surprised when the cops show up.
The Bar Association is a cartel. The motivations should be obvious.

No, why would any host have security cameras in the living quarters? This is a huge privacy issue.
> there is nothing explicitly illegal about what people like the WeWork CEO are doing

Not sure why you say that. This seems to be textbook self-dealing, which is illegal under Delaware law (where WeWork is incorporated) unless the self-dealing party can demonstrate fairness:

> Most of the alleged good effects are in caffeine itself...

I vaguely doubt that.

I mean, this could be tested. Three groups: cold turkey controls, crappy tasting instant coffee group (or even just give them a caffeine pill or something), and full-aroma real coffee group. Groups 2 and 3 get the same amount of caffeine. Now compare the outcomes.

That would be very interesting.

Well, the obvious reason is that it may not be possible to get “big” as a search engine, without chipping away at the privacy gaurantees. Even if they get the users, can they sufficiently monetize them without turning into google?
> It makes the public records easier to access than they previously were

You have not demonstrated how this is so. Putting the records up on S3 is sufficient for the purpose of access.

> immutable

Immutability has no practical benefits that were not already possible using cryptographic hashing and signatures. If you disagree, please explain.

> Once published, the council nor any new government can wipe the records for any reason

This is already solved by the inherent decentralization of the internet. This inherent property of the internet is so pervasive that it is actually a serious problem for situations like "right to be forgotten" and revenge porn.

> The experiment is part of the Open Government project aimed at increasing transparency to the public

You don't need smart contracts for this, if a government is willing to be open the problem is already solved, smart contracts don't add anything to the mix.
Never, and can never remember what rebase actually means.

The new title tells me what the submission is about but not why it's here on HN. For context, the old title mentioned why it's relevant - that Pure VPN kept logs that assisted the FBI in its investigation of Ryan Lin.

Every time I've used Airbnb, the review process would prevent one party from seeing the other party's review until either the review period ended OR all parties would have posted a review.

In other words, you can't retaliate because of the other party's review: you don't get to see it until you post your own review.
I'd rather have a great amp and a crap guitar than a great guitar and a crap amp. The amp has as much impact on the sound as the guitar itself, probably more.

Fender was by far the most important innovator for amps, too. Most tube amps today are derived from early Fender designs like the Champ and the Twin (although they're often two or three generations removed at this point).
It was kinda funny when I showed one of the VP's my setup. He had started the company in the 70's using minicomputers. ed was the editor he used to write code. So when I showed him that I was using it on our system he smiled and then questioned how old I was.

Sometimes people just need a self aware person to talk to with the same issues they have, if the guy can make money at it, more power to him.
How would you make phonecalls on the Librem 5 without a mic?
If you use PureVPN, you're a sucker, plain and simple. You failed to do basic research into your VPN provider, or failed to consult with someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

Let's do a very quick experiment where we evaluate a few popular VPN services at a glance, and critique them using non-technical insights which can generally be applied to any business trying to sell you a product. In other words, there's no excuse for not being able to develop these insights just because you aren't a "tech person".

Googling PureVPN provides the following summary:

"The best VPN service in 2018. PureVPN leads the industry with its massive network of more than 2000 encrypted VPN servers, around 300000 anonymous IPs..."

PureVPN only has a 150 character limit to describe their business, and they use it for:

1) Overzealous claims about being "the best" and the "industry leader"

2) Throwing out large numbers which they hope the user will correlate to excellence as a VPN service. The clueless user will think, "the more the better, right?"

Nord VPN's summary:

"Protect your privacy online and access media content with no regional restrictions. Strong encryption and no-log policy with 5000+ servers in 60+ countries..."

1) No regional restrictions? That's a given for any decent VPN. Useless noise meant to paint the product in a better light.

2) They claim strong encryption, but again, that's a GIVEN for any decent service. More deception.

3) They immediately try to sucker people in with the "no logs" bullshit

4) More stupid large numbers.

See a trend?

Now look at Mullvad VPN's summary:

"Mullvad is a VPN service that helps keep your online activity, identity, and location private. Only €5/month - We accept Bitcoin, cash, bank wire, credit card..."

Wow! No claims about being the best, no claims about anything. It "helps" keep your data private. No claims about 100% privacy. Then they list the price and payment methods. Informative and non-deceptive.
>You don't need to know a lot about something in order to reject it

Ok, but in that case you also shouldn't hold an opinion as to whether or not it's a sound investment. The discussion here is concerned with people who hold strong opinions based on poor understanding and reasoning.

It's always a little sad to me when technology companies make sure a big deal about logos, marketing, and brand. Im not sure if I disrespect them more but Id rather such focus be on the technology aspect of what they do vs the look at the font we made, or the logo marketing put together.

I think that the vast majority of people (narcissist or not) will never do something unless they personally benefit from it in some way. Everything that people do is for themselves. Even when people give money to charity; they do it because it makes them feel good.

I think that maybe the difference between a narcissist and an altruist is that a narcissist doesn't derive any positive emotions from helping others.
Looks good imo. Not much else to say about it. Good job!
