I don't think PayPal was bought for $50B, it was valued as that as a separate entity. The PayPal share has doubled in value since the split.

the issue at hand is how they determine reliability and where they draw the line at acceptable vs unacceptable. I'd argue the left-leaning equivalent of the Daily Mail would be BuzzFeed, complete with regularly posting skewed or outright false information (see this example from a couple of days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/19/business/media/buzzfeed-n...). If they want to be consistent you could argue they should place the same warning on BuzzFeed. But then how much falsity constitutes "unreliable"? And how do we warn about places people go for news that aren't news organisations, like twitter or facebook? There's loads of nonsense on those too and plenty of people rely on them as sources.
I stopped cold turkey, better sleep, better diet and exercise helped me deal with it. The headaches go away after a few days, as for muscle pain I don't recall noticing that but I hike and climb a lot so my muscles are often sore.

>it's from 2016 so the title should be updated

I will try to update the title. There are no changes since then that diminish this document's value - the einsum notation is still the same. The biggest change since then is that the numpy.einsum implementation has been tremendously optimized and has become the benchmark in capabilities that other libraries follow.

Edit: Opt_Einsum is amazing and was a big part of the optimization efforts - it has been merged fully into numpy since v1.12. See https://github.com/dgasmith/opt_einsum#news-opt_einsum-will-...

Swimming ticks all the right boxes for me but the nearest pool is a bit far from here and I wasn't sure about the quality of water and general upkeep.

If those variables can be controlled swimming is definitely the best way to get a full-body workout without taxing the joints. Just the fact that I don't end up a sweaty mess with an extra load of laundry after each workout is a major win for me. Only problem is I don't trust the people running the pools here.

You also can use lots of python functions directly in nim too.
Do this in nim:

let datetime = pyImport("datetime");
echo datetime.datetime.now();
let pysys = pyImport("sys") ;
echo pysys.version;

It is really cool.
Tyndall Effect
It is not. You are talking about a hack/workaround/different methodology. That hack cannot be natively integrated with the other software that uses a regular idea of what is a package name and what is a package version (for example, puppet, which ships with Debian). It is a garbage approach just like the APT approach of using a repo manifest for signatures is garbage, and just like approach of not storing crypto hashes of every file in a .deb inside the .deb is garbage.

I have provided the challenge in another reply:

I have in a repo:

package: nginx
version: 1.99.77

I need to add to the repo:

package: nginx
version: 1.99.78

Both of the versions must remain in the repo. Packages must be signed. Repo must be signed. The name of the package cannot change and neither can the version number. Both of the packages must be installable using a flag that specifies a version number passed to one of the standard Debian package install tools (the tool must be in "main" collection )

What is a tool that can be used that is listed https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup as existing in the "main" part of the Debian? For half a point, you can use any tool listed in the wiki.

Everything else is the hand waving.
The obesity rate is the US is at over 36%, so at quite a distance to France [1].

The overall rank of all countries by body mass index places the US at #9 and France at #43. [2]

Evolutionary psychology is fine for producing plausible-sounding explanations, but I have not yet heard a single case where it actually produced something of scientific value.

Sure, aeons of scarcity obviously made us like food. But as can be seen with this example, culture often plays a much bigger role.

This is soo funny.
The index at the end of the file is definitely a serious drawback for zipfiles; it privileges the writer over the reader (it makes sense given the hardware limitations at the time). For someone archiving their own stuff that's neither here nor there. For container images, JAR files etc the ratio is lopsided.
I get why this kind of things would be necessary (e.g. calling TypeScript from JS), but man, if it isn't ugly and confusing.

Also, the language should proably offer to generate these guards (and the requisite reified type information) for you on demand.
I have too, which is why I singled out hyper-converged.

In hyper converged environments the storage and the compute live together on a service mesh and thus some processing is done on the hypervisor to manage storage, those processes don't have an affinity (in the case of vmware for example) so a guest VM core gets suspended for a couple of hundred clock ticks sometimes.
Miracast is not an alternative to Chromecast (officially called Google Cast nowadays). Miracast is a standard for wireless screen mirroring. If you play a Netflix show on your Miracast device, it plays on your phone, which then subsequently mirrors its own screen it to your Miracast display. This mirroring includes your entire phone UI and stuff like incoming notifications. At best, Miracast is an open standard alternative to Apple Airplay.

Chromecast is a standard for remote controlling video and audio devices. When you play a Netflix stream on a Chromecast display, you send it a video URL that the Chromecast dongle/box/built-in device plays independently. You can then pause/stop/rewind/fast-forward it from multiple devices in your network, none of which are playing the video themselves. Chromecast is immensely more useful and practical as a result. As a small detail, Chromecast additionally supports display mirroring but that's not why so many people use it.

There are no open alternatives for Chromecast. Some Kodi remote apps create a similar experience to stream video to Kodi. But the key of Chromecast's success is not its technical sophistication, but the fact that it has been adopted by a huge number of media services in their Android/iOS client apps. The reason for this is that it's (1) built using an easily available SDK from Google and (2) Chromecast devices enforce DRM, it's not possible (anymore) to cast to uncertified third party devices.

It also spells out that the new API can consist solely of static, known ahead-of-time rules[1]. The rules are json, so that kills any logic beyond pattern matching. We already know that approach severely limits the effectiveness and usability of an ad blocker. It's pretty much the same as ad blocking with a hosts file, other than being able to also statically provide path info. Imagine a list of "bad sites" and/or "bad uris". Limited to 30k entries to cover the entire internet.

The fact that the plan ends with extensions still able to see all web requests, record all web requests, forward a log of all web requests to any arbitrary endpoint, etc...means the "privacy" angle is pure bullshit. I suppose the "performance" angle is somewhat true, but the net performance gain of NOT downloading all the ads makes up for any performance loss of processing/filtering requests. Sites with ads are faster when you load an adblocker.

The only thing being taken away is the ability to dynamically observe a web request and cancel it. Who uses that functionality outside of ad-blockers? Not many. There's no hyperbole in the headline.

As a C programmer for 20+ years, I find most "don't use C" articles banal and snobbish (even when parts of them are correct) but this one's really good. Well reasoned, well explained, not condescending at all. Kudos.

I like the fact that textual includes are at the top of the list. What an abomination! Modules have been known and clearly superior since forever, both for correctness and for compile times. Every time I see macro abuse in C, or exploding compile times in C++ (which oddly doesn't even get mentioned in this section) I cry a little for the future of my profession. Optional delimiters, default fall-through, weak typing - check, check, check. Good points, well argued. I've had to fix bugs caused by all of these. I happen to agree on type first, disagree on single return (and it's a shame Zig doesn't seem to be on the radar especially because of this), but these are certainly discussions worth having and the OP provides a good starting point.

It's definitely a bit long, but well worth it.

The Codeless CTO
I built new media box last year and thought I would try AMD Ryzen 2400G APU. Turns out it was a bad choice. Those graphics drivers are extremely unstable, it keeps crashing frequently, kernel bug reports have many reports from multiple people with info on how to reproduce them but those cases are still in status "NEW" almost 1 year later.
And while their Windows benchmarks are decent, anything 3D related on Linux is a glitching disaster with poor performance.

My friend bought latest Intel NUC with AMD Vega graphics and he could not even get Linux to boot with that.

Meanwhile I have Nvidia GTX970 on my desktop PC and everything works fine, even G-Sync works. I have used Nvidia cards with Linux for 10 years now and I have not had any issues like I have with AMD now.

To me it seems like AMD dumping their drivers as open source is a call for help on maintaining them rather than being all friendly to community.

The ones that explicitly detect adblockers and refuse to show content are usually sites that deal with more... shady material. When I need something from one of those, I find that Google's text-only cache is often enough to get the content, and if not it's really a question of how much the content is worth to me --- the back button is only a click away. What I won't do is enable JS, however; I'd sooner reverse-engineer the script and figure out how to get the content it loads than let dubious arbitrary code run.

But like I said, the back button is effortless and if your content is not rare, I'm going elsewhere.
Heh I only joined Instagram for my wife (then a would-be girlfriend) at the time. I do like finding funny videos on it, but otherwise I hardly post. Sometimes I use it to chat with some friends, but if I had them all elsewhere I'd outright delete it.
My last skim of casync suggested that it's heavily block-oriented. That's fine for backups and FS duplication, but as a distribution format it doesn't really fly.

A lot of folks want two levels of insight into the image's provenance or trustworthiness:

1. Has the image been tampered with? This is mostly solved by TUF / Notary.

2. What are the files and where did they come from? This means you need a file-level abstraction that is simple and fast.

Insofar as casync is block-oriented instead of file-oriented, it's a poor fit for the second problem. It doesn't matter how efficient the streaming and storage is if you make people download the entire layer each time you want to check a single file.
Google and Amazon aren't friends, so their apps can't work together. Hooray for proprietary protocols!

That is very interesting, thanks for sharing that information. I never did use Chrome other than testing it out for less than a day, finding issues with various sites and uninstalling it. Firefox instead since it was in beta (Phoenix) and never left. Never had a real problem with it.

I do use Gmail, and don't have any but have long planned to move to Outlook.com.. perhaps knowing about this ShadowDOM issue will spur me on to make the move.

Google only has one product that's truly best-of-breed (Maps) and I don't mind using it, but don't want to be entirely in any one vendor's ecosystem. I would say Youtube is the best of its kind, but it's really held up by its community, not functionality as Maps is. Outlook may not be the absolute best for privacy either (it's also no-charge), but it at least gets me to a place where I'm well diversified.

Google Maps, Youtube, InoReader, Outlook, DuckDuckGo all on Firefox with containers is a good enough of a spread for me.
Dear HN,

Last week there was a fantastic thread asking "Is there still money in building websites?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18945658).

I think the answer is "Yes, a ton of money" - if you know where to start. There are WordPress freelancers making $200k+ doing standard web-devvy stuff solving client problems with WordPress.

Why WordPress? Because...

1. There is already so much WordPress work to be done
2. WordPress - though oft maligned - is one of the most efficient ways to build client websites

I wrote this book with the advice I wish I had (both general freelance and WP-specific) when I started freelancing 7 years ago.

Happy to get your criticism. Thanks!
It's kind of crazy how we've been playing cat-and-mouse games between ads and ad-blockers for over a decade and yet websites still serve ads from third party domains. If they started serving ads from their own domain and randomized the IDs of elements, then they would be much harder to block.

Moretti’s idea, which has been echoed by some urban development activist groups, is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revitalize flagging regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated areas.- This is actual a nice idea..!!
the aztecs had an empire, a civilization, with pyramids, systems of agriculture, public schools, museums full of massive detailed gold statues, and organised sport. they invented basketball and chocolate. there were many kther advanced civilizations that we will only ever know the tiniest amount of, because they all died of smallpox. the only groups to survive were the nomads, cherokee, lakota, apache, etc. because they could avoid the spread of disease.

the view that they were cavemen is part of the whole terra nullius argument, trying to cast them as essentially fauna.

You can't. But Google is an ad company and an ad company does not just give away their most valuable resource, the data. So it's more about the devil you know then the devil you don't know.
I feel your pain. I've got a Firefox window open full screen on a 1080 display and I still lost some of the links on most of the overlays I opened.

I think this is one of those sites that was designed and tested on the developers machine and looked good on the browser they used, but wasn't tested anywhere else. But given it's probably just a hobby project, I can't really blame them for that at all.
The nice thing about being incredibly out of shape is that any plan will work. It's only the people that are in relatively good shape that need a good plan to see improvements.

This is common technique, mostly used to get scouting drone back through a walloff (own unit stands on "hold" in a small choke) or when a mineral line is under siege (e.g. Siege Tank, Liberator), the player can select all his workers to mine a single mineral patch (has to be spammed, otherwise workers redistribute) outside of the siege range until they siege is cleared up.
