Then by your logic they aren’t paying any tax now either. So raising the rate won’t change anything. If so why not just do it for fun?

Either they pay tax now at a certain rate or they don’t. Your premise that raising the rate won’t change the tax bill is based on your theory that whatever they’re paying now is just by their grace and free will?
The version of Firefox I'm on right now does. Most of the current URL is a light gray, while the "ycombinator.com" portion is white which gives much more contrast against the dark gray background of the URL bar. (I'm using the dark theme, but I'm pretty sure the normal theme does this, too.)
I'm with medium, but I didn't start there until they allowed for you to use your own domain.

If I want to leave I can re-house my content somewhere else and write a script to have the URLs match medium's article identifiers so I don't lose (much) Google-juice.

Not ideal, and not a perfect escape plan, but better than leaving all my eggs in one pretentious basket.

How suitable is Alpine as a desktop distribution? It seems like a low-GNU distribution with an emphaisis on static linkage. Is that a correct assessment? I'm very happy with Arch, I stopped my distro-hopping six years ago when I landed on it, but I worry that I'm getting complacent because Arch is just so easy to use.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

The problem isn’t the data science. The problem is that the show was developed primarily for data science but was described to viewers as fun, interactive fiction.

Let’s be clear here: Netflix developed this show for the primary purpose of gathering data on me. Clearly many of the decisions only existed to test the effectiveness of product placement. Some other decisions were intended to cluster subscribers into segments. My issue is that I was deceived into thinking the interactivity was purely to enhance the story.
Ask HN: Gmail Equivalent for Inbox Reminder Shortcut on Android?
I'm a heavy user of Google Inbox Reminders.

I have a reminder icon on Android's bottom bar. Looks like https://imgur.com/a/ap8yXEB

Tapping it opens up a new reminder; one tap to open it, I write it, one tap to save it.

With Inbox going away, does Gmail have anything similar for Android?

Inbox reminders really suit me-- easy creation, snooze until date/place, unified emails/reminders gives an action list and only one app to check.

My current solution is to have a Gmail Compose shortcut on Android home screen, tap it, set recipient to myself, and use the subject line as the reminder.

Google Calendar has an "add reminder", but my reminders are mostly orthogonal to my calendar and it's harmful to have them in the calendar. Also there's no "Quick Add Calendar Reminder" widget for Android.

Reddit has been known to be quite susceptible to shills for sometime. It is a source of both fake news and swayed opinion in favor of whoever has the most money to throw at it. I'm not saying that other places are immune to this, but the problems with reddit are actually very well documented, and management seems not to care. It's even possible they are shilling themselves.

Also, reddit has changed comments before, or their CEO has. They have probably also banned people for less than transparent reasons.

Twitter is even worse with their shadow banning, and limiting viewership of twitter accounts, censorship of mainstream conservatives, while notably not censoring known terrorist accounts.

Youtube is known for allowing pedophilia posts, but having conservative politics also gets people banned.

I like mastodon, but I haven't used it enough yet to have a real opinion.

I have to disagree that Agile is any kind of solution to this. I've seen it fail too many times. If implemented correctly, maybe, but that rarely happens. And why is that? Why so many Agile horror stories?

There is a real lack of leadership in the world, at all levels of society. It's not something an ideal like agile can fix. Without good leaders we end up with broken agile. I'm pretty sure NASA has a good engineering process. It doesn't matter if nobody listens.
David MacKay disagrees; the book estimates[0] that we could double our uranium use and keep it up for 1000 years, and that's without touching the sea water deposits (~200x more than on land), and without using more efficient reactors, both of which together enabling scaling up nuclear by 2 orders of magnitude without running out of fuel this milennium.

The article from phys.org you quote doesn't show its math much; I'll try to track down the proceedings it references, as I'm genuinely surprised by the difference with what's in "Without Hot Air".

Pinterest puts an IPO offering on its pinboard
I just cancelled my Medium membership. This is a step too far and I no longer feel comfortable giving them money.
Very much agreed ever since I decided to build a startup.
I think you misunderstood my intention. I (generally speaking) classify work as either productive or reproductive. In this case the productive work being the engineering and the reproductive being sales, marketing, admin, Etc. Both play very necessary and valid roles within any healthy business. I agree that some engineers have a myopic view of their function/role within an organization. I didn't mean for that comment to be self-aggrandizing at all.

> eventually get towards ownership is through increasing your billings whereby the client is hiring the productive worker, at which point, it's usually when you become a partner of the company (effectively sharing in profits and losses)

I think that this might not be considering the inherent politics of work and the power dynamics present in every business. To be clear, I don't think the comment is coming from a bad place, I just think that it points to a common fallacy that any sort of "meritocracy" is possible in business as usual. When you have a small group of people holding power there are few incentives for them to share that power. And In my experience it is the person who is able to sell themselves the best that gets the highest reward, not the most productive.
Same, I just saved it to instapaper and read it there.

I had a positive experience using FreeRTOS for a number of years, primarily on a series of STM32 parts - Cortex M4 etc.

I built our embedded platform on top of FreeRTOS - basically some nice APIs to help make everything be event driven. Millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lines of C later, it's the basis for a whole product family.

A sibling comment says something about tickless idle. It was a little while ago that I had to get it working, but I don't remember anything particularly painful about it - I think it was just a config option.

Nah, you're not the only one. The various modals and 'log in' prompts are obnoxious, and it's only made worse by how 90% of promoted Medium.com articles are paid now (so there's a good chance you'll see a 'pay to continue reading' warning instead of any content).

And that's before you even get into the content, which is usually either:

1. Pointless bullshit from some 'influencer' no one cares about filled with silly buzzwords

2. Political panicking about Trump

3. Or generally uninteresting articles in general. Medium's long since gone through its Eternal September phase, so there's no real quality difference between the stuff there and the stuff anywhere else.
The first thing I do when I load a Medium hosted page on my phone is to use uBlock origin to hide the app button and the fixed top bar. If I couldn't do it anymore, I'll stop reading those pages.

I disagree. HN's UI is perfect.
Interesting. I also grew up in the Deep South, but people are always surprised to hear it, claim I "don't have an accent", etc. And yet, the quiz positively identified me as having a Southern accent.

I assume it's because this quiz is only asking about how we pronounce words, and doesn't measure any other speech metrics like tempo/cadence. I guess I don't have the drawl, but still pronounce words with a Southern accent. Maybe this is why it confuses me so much when my wife pronounces Don and Dawn the same, which was question #2 on the quiz. ("Wait, which person are you talking about?!")

Maybe you have the drawl but not the Southern pronunciation?

Id say it comes down to the way cave diving in Briton is largely different from that of mainland Europe. So even on site the British cave divers would see the approach as different to the Europeans

In Briton cave diving is largely done to move between flooded sections of dry cave, so most cave divers are dry cavers first, and diving is just used to bypass sumps.

Also most British cave diving is done solo (so without a buddy that most systems recommend.) in quite tight conditions.

Caves in mainland Europe tend to be larger and the diving philosophy is different. There you will find team diving prevalent.

That seems like it could be true, in the absence of counterexamples.

> Lookup in the ArrayMap is shockingly slow at large data sizes—again, I don’t have a good explanation for why this is.

Probably because it's doing a binary search over a large array? I wouldn't expect that to be particularly fast with large arrays, since large array + binary search == lots of cache misses.

There is a way (the name escapes me unfortunately) to order the items of the array such that for N items, the item that would be at index N/2 in a sorted array is at index 0, then the items that would be at N/4 and 3N/4 are at indexes 1 and 2, and so on which of course is much more cache-friendly when doing a binary search.

PhD students often hold journal clubs where they evaluate current research (in my phd program in biophysics we covered everything from the publication of the human genome to quantum erasers).

Ask HN: Why can’t HN commenters stay on topic, on any given post?
The pattern has been consistent for a while. At any given time, and at any given topic. A post’s topic would be ‘A’ but the crowd here would never have a straight up comment stream on that exact topic. Why must comments diverge all the time from the topic at hand when staying on topic is exactly what one can do online in concise manner? Doesn’t this render the value of comments useless? If any given post/article can stay on specific topic (which it most certainly does almost all the time) then why can’t the collective group of people do the same, particularly when the technology is specifically designed to achieve that goal?

I don’t mean to start a flame war over the so called pathetic nature of commenting in general on the web, but HN is the last place one should expect to see such a behavior (but we do). What can be done to bring the focus back on quality so everyone’s time can be spent on reading comments on topics on any given post?
> I mind them not trying

Seems fair to me.
Wow this is the perfect analogy.
I think you could email them to rethink whether short-lived things are in general a good idea with regards to a) performance b) maintainability/overseeability/debuggability/flexibility.

IMHO short-lived by default is a wrong practice, and it's mostly a consequence of the misaplied ideology that everything should have as tiny a lexical scope as possible (e.g. make stack variables where possible). And it's a consequence of OOP thinking, where there isn't really a concept of "memory you can use when you need it" but only "objects that are always constructed". And whenever an object comes into or out of existence, work must be done to make that transition official!

If matters were as simple as using SSO vectors by default (or almost always), then new languages would choose SSO optimized datastructures almost everywhere. But is it actually the case that almost all data fits in arrays of length < 16 or so? I don't think so, and using SSO data structures causes more complicated object code and is slower in the larger cases.

I struggle to see how software developers can willingly do work on a project that goes against all values and morales!

I have previously worked with developers in start-ups and was amazed to hear some of their backgrounds. One previously worked for a company that bundles spyware with freeware MSI products. Another worked for an airline agency, where they advertise fake a discount on tickets when the price was in fact higher than market. Needless to say, their actions outside the work environment matched their actions inside.
> I'm not who you replied to but I believe "over and over" was a reference to recurrent subscription fees.

I mean that with subscription services one is unable to backup, or even "come back" repeatedly to the content. Let's say watching the same movie from time to time - it's not possible because service providers go out of business, copyright deals change, markets become more/less prioritized, different platforms are supported, the repertoire within the subscription changes over time. Thus watching the same movie requires buying it over and over again.
This takes me back!

But it feels kinda wrong to have that mouse cursor and have it not move perfectly smooth.

Thanks. Mind you, that's the theory, I haven't actually benchmarked the use case. But in general reducing the length of pointer chains to traverse is an often low hanging fruits of performance optimizations.
I’m not sure I agree, I think it’s more of a technology problem syncing owned music between devices, and that these major players, especially Apple, have an incentive to make it very hard.

For example, I buy all my music outright from Amazon & Bandcamp, downloaded to my laptop. From there I use the VLC app to propagate the music to my phone, ipad, etc.

Most normal consumers wouldn’t put up with this. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t rather own the music and pay only for what they personally consume. It just means Apple & Spotify have set up a big moat. You can’t start a startup to compete with them if your main sell is an easy way to have the raw, owned music files propagated to many devices and organized for easy browsing, because the big players (who don’t want consumers to have that) will just negotiate exclusive licenses and disallow you from having inventory.
