Fellows was in a gang in the UK... That was his nickname in the gang in the UK.

There's a vast ocean betwixt the states and England. While it's true that people can remember both names, it's far more likely that, in the UK, they'll remember the names of those closer to home - of the likes of Harold Shipman.
Ask HN: How do you host your personal domain email accounts?
I'm looking at getting an email service provider account to associate my own personal domains email address with. Who offers the best service/price? How much effort is it to host it myself?

Never heard of this. I like the philosophy. I’ve seen users try and enforce that kind of thing on Reddit, but it often falls flat because it’s not core to the platform.
Maybe the goal isn't substance or integrity? Could be someone(s) practicing disruption techniques for the future. Or, maybe there are large-scale automated FUD operations running on all major discussion pages to change perception of debate and discussion.
Doesn’t it depend on the subreddit? My main complaint is there is less of a community feel about it than say HN, but some of the coding subreddits are quite nice but albeit a bit quiet.
This is awesome (let expressions in formulas!!), but Mesh Spreadsheets has offered most of this for a couple of years, and in a free, open-source form.

Specifically:

- arrays and objects living in a cell

- mix of spreadsheet and textual views

- functions in spreadsheet cells, and running spreadsheets as a messaging service (as a lambda function / API)

- dynamic array sizes

We deliver this by offering a grid view of (structured) JavaScript code.

I don't have a good article on this but I'd assume the rocket delivers the satellites to an orbit slightly below the target one. The satellites can then move to the final orbit on their own (small transfers take much less energy than one might guess). Since lower orbits are faster than higher ones spacing on the final orbit can be controlled by the timing of the final transfer.
Are you open to pursuits that don't directly involve programming? If so, three suggestions:

* CodeNation (CodeNation.org) - teach highschool aged kids in underserved areas how to code.

* GazaSkyGeeks (GazaSkyGeeks.com) - go to the Gaza strip and teach coding and mentor entrepreneurs

* Recoded (re-coded.com) - same as above but for refugees in Syria and Iraq.

I've done the first two - happy to answer Q's about them.
I was thrilled when I took my first microeconomics class in college. Rarely have I ever been so interested in something which I previously thought was boring and useless.

I agree with Spolsky when he writes that programmers really should understand microeconomics so that they know what affects their worth in their labor market. I see programmers too often contradict principles in microeconomics which have been demonstrated (and depending on who you ask, proven) time and time again, such as when programmers say that more programmers entering the industry will raise salaries, not lower them, as you would expect in every other labor market when all other factors are held constant.
Chump.
If you're referring to the Sardines, if you can handle the taste of room-temperature fish broth, drink the juice from the can, don't drain it. That's where most the omega-3 fatty acids end up from the cooking process.

Some of the better brands like what's found at Whole Foods here in CA will even include a notice on the package about not draining the liquid. The Henry & Lisa's stuff [1] in water is quite good, but can be relatively pricy.

Rust has const fn, which are very similar to constexpr (although the limitations aren’t quite the same).
Are you sure you’re writing it in a reasonable way? I’ve made some awfully large nets (implementing current state of the art models) with TF and I’ve never ran into anything like that. I mean I might have 30 seconds to a minute before it gets moving but that’s the most I’ve seen, and that’s including the entire init process (reserving GPUs, preprocessing enough data to keep the cache moving, initializing variables for optimizers and such, and so on). Some of these models have an absolute ton of ops.

What are you doing that requires a 10, 30, 45 min graph build?
History is full of organizations - churches, government and corporations - doing terrible things when they are unaccountable, to this day, so no. Most of that stuff actually happened in the past and into the present and only stopped under duress, sometimes requiring decades of legal action just to do the right thing and stop spreading lies and propaganda and poisoning and killing people.

Today when corporate accountants deem a thing or place or persons unprofitable enough they just abandon their employees and employee-cities where they funded everything so it's all theirs and there's nothing to sustain the population when they go. Mines, plantations, manufacturing etc have done this for centuries.

Thanks. Snatched up one of those bad boys up immediately.
Wish this came before I refreshed to one of their newest models. The iPhone 5 form factor is still my favorite.
The upcoming sony xz4 compact may be the only small phone with premium components, and it's extremely frustrating. It's not even /that/ small.

You can find small phones but they have terrible cameras, sub HD resolutions, and bargain basement SOCs.

Is the demand for a premium (or even mid range) small phone really that low?
> Which are a joke

Sure, professional licensing provides fairly weak guarantees, but it's more than exist in software, hence FizzBuzz.
> You are being rude here.

I don't think I'm being rude. I only presented a fact.

> He is sharing a credible information here.

Absolutely. But he then undermines his own credibility by trying to make money in the manner he criticizes others for doing so.

> With the adsense amount I'm pretty sure he can't buy coffee also..get it right?

Author never drew this distinction; I presume they feel profiting off of personal information is the problem, not the amount.
A bit of weird one here, but thedailywtf.com. I wasn't able to find any sort of "delete my account" functionality. Not that anythings changed post-GDPR, but...

(The only reason I was reminded that I actually had an ancient account is that my password from there was apparently leaked and spammers tried to convince me that they'd gained control of something important. They couldn't connect the password to the site, obviously. It was just a leaked password database.)
> 200 come up on ICEs at 120?

This happens to me regularly, and I'm not even living in Germany and driving on the Autobahn, I'm just living a little further to the East where the police is less rigorous in pursuing this type of traffic infractions. As long as you use the passing lane only when needed you're fine, nothing bad happens.
They all intend that. That's what I assume, for all intents and purposes.
Needs a spec bump.
I wouldn't worry about it this sort of nonsense.
Just tell them yes, sure.
Then tell them no, you changed your mind after you thought about it overnight and need another 30k.
I've tried looking for contractors in the past who can make small changes to static HTML landing pages.

I've since given up just learned to hack together changes myself as everyone on the big web design markets ignores the original request for alteration and instead spins up a $50 Wordpress theme they try and resell to me for $800.
Epik.com seems to be the cheapest. Most providers are at least $10/mo but for only one address I'm paying $3/mo at epik
>OK, what I'm going to say is not constructive, but, boy, how I hate this type of comments. Where were you 40 years ago? Why did you not prevent it from being terrible? What did you do to replace it with something better?

I'm not saying that they should have come up with something better. MIDI was an incredible breakthrough in 1983, but it was designed in 1983. That's a very, very long time in technology. We've known about and dealt with the shortcomings of MIDI for decades, but it's difficult to replace a deeply-entrenched standard. MIDI has been pushed as far as possible without breaking backwards-compatibility, but it is now long overdue for the industry to move in unison and create something fit for the 21st century.

Imagine if you dealt with lots of devices on a daily basis that had a 33kbaud serial interface. Would that kind of annoy you? Would you say "this archaic serial format is just great!". No, you'd be kind of cheesed off that you were stuck with it.

MIDI 2.0 looks great. It's a really big deal for the electronic music industry. You can only usefully say why it's a big deal if you acknowledge all of the crummy, annoying parts of MIDI 1.0.
It's why MSR has employed him for almost as long as he's been working on GHC. Not specifically to work on Excel, but to have him help integrate ideas from GHC into Microsoft products.

And I've got to say, they made a great choice. He's one of the most effective communicators I've ever seen when it comes to teaching new ideas.
And a signing bonus.
It’s much easier to modify a 2D static photo than it is to modify the real world.

If you want to make a self driving car think there’s an Ostrich in the road, the easiest way would be to put an Ostrich in the road.
Also, the name actually refers to the John Carpenter & Dan O'Bannon film! A rather curious early movie for them, considering that O'Bannon went right on to writing “Alien.” Recommended for nerds, I don't even know how to otherwise define the audience. The bomb is cool.
It baffles me why you would do all that serious planning to commit such hifi murders but, somehow screw it all up by carrying a device that is designed to track your location, activities and probably other data (like heart beat rate) that would simply undo all your efforts?

IMO, even the dumbest of murderers don't carry their phones with them because they know very well they can be triangulated long after the murders. So, why would you carry a smart device that precisely does just that? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They tried it. It didn't work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law
Why does everyone love this phone so much? Clue me in?
People already got washed in radioactive rain in 1986. Nuclear waste is leaking from barrels in an old salt mine. In France, the sea in front of La Hague is contaminated with plutonium. No thanks.
>This event was the largest recorded creation of space debris in history with more than 2,000 pieces of trackable size (golf ball size and larger) officially cataloged in the immediate aftermath, and an estimated 150,000 debris particles.

This single event massively increased orbital pollution. Thanks, China.
I believe it’s the size. I don’t get it, but many of friends prefer smaller phones.
This is a solid list, but front end dev has gotten a bit absurd.

I feel like I need to install 86,000 dependencies via NPM to do something that server-side frameworks already figured out. I was following a simple Vue/Vuex tutorial the other day and my node_modules directory was 200MB+.

Use yarn or npm to install XYZ.... What's the difference? Why do I have to google this as step 0?

Why do you assume I know the intricacies of Webpack? Is this tutorial for Webpack 4 or Webpack 3?

I'm exaggerating a bit but honestly, I get the same feeling of rage that I used to get trying to understand the box model during the IE 6 era.
They prefer a large format phone. (Compared to the iPhone 3G)
I realized halfway through reading the article that I had not checked for a 'sponsored by' disclaimer. I rarely do unless an article feels 'off'. Hmm...
a literal advertisement
It comfortably fits in one hand, has a headphone jack, with adequate battery life and performance and camera.
You shouldn't bargain with people who are willing to screw you over this blatantly. You don't know if you can trust what they say or their motives.
Z ... F ... S.

And at least Raid-Z. Raid-5 and Raid-6 are now at probability of failure levels that your rebuild is likely to throw an error.

I guess it's time for all those HN people who were moaning about iPhones being too big/expensive/lacking in home buttons/etc... to put their money where their mouths are.

It's a 2016 model, so it should remain supported until at least 2021. Not far off, but still better than some (many?) Android phones.

I'm not sure how $299/128GB compares to Android products, but it's cheaper than its previous $449 price.

I'd pick one up myself, except that I have a 5 that keeps on chugging along.
Oh wow, I didn't tried it yet, but reading the doc, it looks exactly how I imagine the perfect "make"/"task runner" should work.

"make" frustrated me so many times. I'll definitely try "task".
The various media outlets seem to be overlooking the fact that he was retaliating for his own injury and near death experience?
MeWe has some pleasant groups too
Personally, I want to deliberately make it difficult to spend my life looking at my phone, but still have a tool to use to look at maps, navigate, etc.
I didn't know that.

A similarly surprising fact is the Omega-3 fatty acid actually comes from algae the fish eat. As a result there are vegan-friendly algae-derived supplements as an alternative to the popular fish oil ones.

On a brief vegetarian experiment I used a methylcobalamin sublingual B12 supplement, but it had strange and totally unique side effects. After a week of daily use, and this was consistently reproducible, my neck would become very stiff and painful to turn. I don't know why, but it didn't take much of a leap for me to connect this stuff diffusing into my system from under my tongue and the surrounding neck tissue being effected. I find it preferable to just eat sardines regularly.
$250/32 is barely competitive. however, you cannot buy an android phone this small that isn't complete garbage
There’s also this: “As seriously as Fellows seemed to take his preparation, he did not appear to consider witnesses would notice a cyclist wearing both commando gear and a hi-vis safety vest while toting a gun (they did, and they told the police).“
Don't take it personal, but it's hardly a challenge. The process of download and burn then reboot really taxes you?
This was in a low cost of living area in a low-regulation state. Paying cash was what made the price fixed regardless of depth.
The comfortable one-handed operation is my top reason, I'm a pretty active person and a phone that I can comfortably use with one hand (and also easily stow in and remove from the front pockets on my jeans) is much more useful to me than a phone that I cannot. I also enjoy the headphone jack which allows me to use any pair of conventional headphones, without requiring an adapter. Finally, the square edges (in contrast to rounded) make the phone a great bottle opener.
Carbon taxes do seem regressive and problematic. On the other hand if we wait for an ideal world, it will only be ideal for plants, insects, rodents, and pathogens. Truthfully though, taxing consumers seems half-asses in the extreme. Of course what we need is something the average person is terrified of, which is to say we need nuclear power en masse, and we needed it yesterday. That can give us some breathing room to push hard on solar as wind, as well as using nuclear power to produce hydrogen through electrolysis.

It’s not perfect, it’s expensive, it produces waste we need to deal with, but the alternative is going to be waiting for too-slow progress on the renewable end, only to realize it’s too late. That’s when the desperate geoengineering attempts will be made, likely kicking off some very unintended consequences.
Yes, the demand really is that low. People who want a smaller phone in 2019 are a very small yet very vocal minority.

If there was a large untapped market for smaller phones, then the limited number of small phones on the market would be selling a lot better than they actually are. Somebody would notice and start making more of them.

Like phones with physical keyboards, phones with small screens have become a niche product and they will probably disappear in the next few years.
Not really. The iPhone SE has been in a recurring topic here because it suits the needs of a certain market segment, and there wasn't a suitable equivalent after it went away.
Data for the Netherlands is pretty consistent: https://twitter.com/sustainable2050/status/10866390860671713...
Then you're not high up enough yet. Look up what it takes to 'shadow' Jeff Bezos, for example. People don't get to that top echelon of a multi-billion dollar company without being insanely competent and calculating. These aren't people who get out of bed on Saturday morning and wonder what they're doing that day, or spend time idly browsing Hacker News (just, you know, as a personal example.)
I have looked and looked since 1998, tried rsync, RAIDs, striped drives, ATA over Ethernet, lvm, ZFS, all sorts of things.

What finally clicked for me, is https://www.greyhole.net

It's like magic. Decide how much redundancy you want. Then just add drives to it. It balances files automatically across drives. You can have remote drives in the mix.

What it is not good at, is many small files. But for my use, media files and backups (tar archives) it's a breeze. And the files are stored as normal file on the drives it distributes too, so there is nothing complicated to dig into should disaster strike. (Not that it has happened to me.)

No affiliation, just finally in a Zen state of mind when it comes to my home NAS.

Next step - make sure all of that is backed up off site too, but that is another thing altogether...
If you uped your rate to 75, they know your value and probably wouldn't jump ship. Even if 25% did you still make more with less total hours and more potential revenue for any referral business you get. You also get the benifit of not feeling under valued which can drive you to increase the scope of services you provide to existing clients.
A Man on a Mission to Make Humanity ‘Future Proof’
Yeah, I was at Motorola when they were supposed to be deorbited. I knew a guy that worked in the lab when they went through the lab to start to destroy all the equipment as part of the liquidation process. He saved one of the iconic brick handsets for me. No sim card. Just Accelerated Life Test Unit 4. It's been a proud possession of mine for years.
Fits neater in a pocket. Great for basic communication and tasks such as maps. Not the center of your life.
How is it vetted?
It's really not about ideal vs. non-ideal, it's about how to get the largest reduction in the fastest way, for the same public effort, political cost etc.

CO2 in automobile fuel is already heavily taxed in EU. Fuel used for aviation - guzzled by definition by the rich - is not taxed at all:
https://www.greenaironline.com/news.php?viewStory=2453

The massive industrial CO2 outputs of cement or steel factories is taxed at negligible levels compared to fuel, EU could easily reduce emissions by increasing the tax while applying a similar levy on imported products. The revenue these taxes could generates could be reinvested in electric transport infrastructure to benefit all, or industrial and technological upgrades for housing, manufacturing etc.

These crap policies like speed limits have a single purpose, to avoid tackling the real issues of carbon emissions in the context of international trade, with the largest emitters getting a massive subsidy by destroying the planet.
"It’s as if they didn’t spend enough time to realize that they are missing the forest for the trees."

In their eyes, they have given you a problem involving a tree from the graph theory and you are insisting on an "out of the box" solution involving woodpeckers.

Let me elaborate.

Usually hypothetical situation is just a way to talk about an abstract problem.

It's easier to visualize and to talk about an egg falling and breaking (or not) than abstract measurements.

Now what you call 'thinking outside the box' is just attacking the irrelevant details of an imaginary situation which is there purely for convinience and can be replaced with another hypothetical situation corresponding to the same abstract problem.
Personally, its price. I would never buy an Android and I don't want to pay full price to own an iPhone. It sucks that you've got to be wealthy to have privacy and security. The small screen blows, though. (That's not to say I like big screens, but 4.7" would be so much better...)
While you are right with the conclusion that it's not going to happen, you are wrong about who made the proposal. I suppose by "minority oppositional party" you mean the german green party (btw: more than 20% in recent polls) had nothing to do with it. The proposal actually came from the "Verkehrskommission" (English: transport commission), which is a commission of the federal government.

TL;DR: a power surge killed my PSU and maybe my motherboard, causing me to freak out and btw I don't have any cold storage.

I'll bet this guy did not have a surge protector in front of his Synology PSU.
I love btrfs, but I love my data even more.
ZFS is great, but won't help if there's a power surge that fries all the disks at once. To prevent that you'll want to store snapshots remotely somewhere.
"oneof" construction is here for two reasons:

1. It enhances readability
2. It would be a surprise to you: oneof actually enhances type safety. It is just lacking type system of Go where you cannot express the feature and thus loses type safety.
Even in your blinkered view of the world, don't you realise that choosing who to team up with and who to exploit is ethics?
Seems like it's $299 now...
>I don’t know what happened for sure, but I think it may have been a power surge that fried the boards on both the Synology and the USB, as they were plugged in to the same socket.

He didn't have a surge protector? Sweet Jesus. I don't plug my backed-up PC into anything not surge protected.
"done and done" ?
Great software in term of both quality and active development, and I also have very positive experience interacting with their dev/contributors (reporting bugs etc.).

But not sure why this is on front page today, as it has been released almost a month isn't it?
If you read the article, he didn’t carry the device during the murder, he was carrying it a couple months before while he was doing surveillance for the future murder. And the only reason they found out about the GPS device was because they were already pretty sure he was the guy as witnesses saw him on his bike carrying a gun and wearing “commando gear”, which sort of , you know, stuck out like a sore thumb. They used the witnesses to track him down and arrest him, and only found the GPS data later.

Obviously he’s not that bright but the GPS was sort of a secondary issue.
Going 200 in an electric car will be a great learning experience for the relationship of drag and speed.
> The real problem is that people are selling this bullshit that the only alternatives are someone spying on you through your metaphorical bedroom window or you blindfold every company that interacts with you.

There's a middle ground, called "regulation".

For many decades now there have been rules regulating advertisements ("commercial speech"), sources of addictive behavior (gambling, alcohol, cigarettes), and monopolies. It seems reasonable to propose that these rules should apply to Facebook and other "new media", to the extent that they are ad-supported, may promote addictive behavior, and may be monopolies.

Applying these regulations to the internet does not mean shutting down ad-supported websites, any more than they prevented ad-supported newspapers and TV stations from thriving back in the day.
