I will find a cafe with my atmosphere.
BTW, I met my wife at a cafe. She was freelancing there as I was!
Chromium: [Media Session] Enable API on Desktop (all)
Actually now that you mention it I bought some screws on Saturday at Home Depot and they were made in the US (Spax).

It's a bit of a bummer about Apple's computers. On my self-built desktops there are basically two types of screws that are interchangeable between any computer I've ever built (the normal ones and the ones that self-thread into plastic fan). If I add a PCI card and need an extra, the ones that came with a Pentium 4 motherboard will do just fine.

I kinda get the "we need this very specific screw" thing for laptops or phones where thinness matters, but the trashcan Mac Pro is an exercise in weird priorities.

It feels like Apple's design team has forgotten that standard parts exist even when they'd work fine, or even better than some crazy integrated solution. Custom screws for everything just because you can. PCIe GPUs? Who needs em!? Gotta fit in this cylinder.

It's a problem they've created for themselves, and if they wanted to stop having it the solution is "Stop doing that." Go buy a normal screw like everyone else.
Golang lovers assemble – Berlin is calling you
Depending where you live, there are a lot of small-time artisan cheese makers who make great product. For example, Gunn's Hill in southwestern Ontario— their stuff is more like a mild swiss than a sharper parmesan, but it's beautifully flexible for sandwiches, sauces, snacking, whatever. And the cheese counters at our local farmers market have a number of options like this.

Moving to two’s complement sign representation – Modification request for C2x [pdf]
You wouldn't have to require whitespace around all operators; you could, for example, decide that infix math/bitwise/logic operators must have a space around them, while other operators (like the infix operators `.` and `->`, and the prefix/suffix `++`, `--`, `[...]`, and `!`) wouldn't require whitespace.

I agree that nobody would want to write `i ++` or `foo [10]` or `myvar . mymember`, but I think a lot of people could get behind `10 - 20` and `foo && bar` instead of `10-20` and `foo&&bar`.
But nursing salaries in general have increased dramatically over the decades. From wages suitable for "unskilled girls" to something that is almost appropriate for the highly skilled professionals that they are.
You don't need clean water, boiling some is enough to kill most germs. And boiling seems common in a culture with lots of cooked meals.

Germs which are not even that big of a problem anyways, considering vaginas are supposed to be in contact with dirty stuff : fingers or penises are not known for their cleaniness. It mostly self maintains.
The cells need to have some kind of hover styling. Without it the demo feels non-interactive.

Fomo.com is doing a few million and is owned/operated by 1 individual (although he has a small team). Believe he acquired it and grew it like crazy. I’d reckon (if he chose) the company could do a 100k a month in profit.

I think your specific situation has a HUGE impact on how much you'll enjoy working from home.

I'm married, have 4 kids, and I never feel lonely at home. I totally get how a single guy / gal with no kids would, though.

I never found any issues with dividing work / life, though. I have a dedicated office, and I believe it's a huge part of it.
Hell no
Care to share what kind of tool it was? This story has quite piqued my curiosity.
Israel airport security stole my laptop
I loathe offices, coworking spaces, and cafes. I need a clean environment free of distractions to focus. It took a few years to adjust to this initially but I'll never go back. I don't feel the compulsion to have meaningless social interactions with strangers - maybe I am unique in that way.
Thanks @Belphemur. Modular is a good way of putting it. Being modular allows users to add complexity at their own pace and never be overwhelmed by it.
Looks pretty good! Thanks for sharing.

Have you tried them by yourself?
One of my parents did this for years, so going purely from experience it's a matter of good communication: When I'm in my study, I am at work. Do not go in there or disturb me unless the house is on fire. Problem solved.

I don't really get why a lot of people feel this is an insurmountable obstacle. Surely being able to outline your boundaries and people keeping to them is a core component of a healthy relationship?
Why should the auction site get the domain to sell in the first place? A Romanian public asset is being basically dumped for 6 euros to a select group of private companies who then reap the rewards. It's not unfair between you and the other auction bidders, it's unfair between you and the auctioneer and the Romanian tax payer.
How much traffic does your site serve? I'm not saying that turning the feature on is difficult. Anyone reading hacker news can go and configure their webserver to start serving this traffic....

but I can tell you that a site serving serious production loads (let's just say 100 qps)... nobody is just "flipping a config" and sending the protocol out the door.
> millenials will be paying for the older generation's retirement and healthcare via Social Security and Medicare

My guess is younger generations, once better politically ensconced, will flip the script on boomers by funding broad social benefits out of social security and Medicare. (For example, by reducing Medicare benefits while making them available to all age groups.)
Yes,
I have a few complete code set with me which legally belong to me. I will find them and edit some and put in github. Thanks for the suggestions.
From the back of my copy:

"""Andy, Dag and Claire have been handed a society priced beyone their means. twentysomethings, brought up with divorce, Watergate and Three Mile Island, and scarred by the 80s fall-out of yuppies, recession, crack and Ronald Reagan, they represent the new generation - Generation X. Fiercely suspicious of being lumped together as an advertiser's target market, they have quit dreary careers and cut themselves adrift in the California desert. Unsure of their futures, they immerse themselves in a regime of heavy drinking and working at no-future McJobs in the service industry."""
Yes, but most decisions don't intentionally make permanent heritable changes to a species. It's not convincing to say the worst-case scenario associated with GMO monocultures is the same risk associated with, say, a person taking a new drug. One could only effect one person, and that person's consent is possible to obtain. The other could effect millions of people, and is almost impossible to obtain their consent. (Arguably, the anti-labeling campaign is an attempt to make getting such consent irrelevant).
Infamous means famous, but for a bad reason. Villains are infamous.

Not everyone needs Parmagiano-Reggiano. You can buy parmesan to put on your microwaved pasta and it will be Very Good(TM). No need to waste good quality DOP on that.

As with all cheeses, "parmesan" labeled cheeses will also vary in quality. Go for what your wallet + taste buds tell you to pick. There really are good quality "parmesan" brands out there. Maybe not the cheapest stuff in your grocery store, but as long as you know what you're getting...

I have a philosophy: if it's made from real milk and by craftspeople who respect the product and the customer, then DOP is not necessarily the only marker of quality cheese.

edit: Here's an anecdote: A few months ago I travelled to the USA (Detroit) for a friend's wedding. Most of the food after the ceremony was from local producers, either acquaintances or good friends of the couple. My friend (who is also not from the USA) told me to try some of the charcuterie and cheeses on one of the tables and to tell him what I thought (we're both from Spain). The parmesan on that table was just perfect. Obviously not the real deal, but you could see the texture: the crumbly-ness (is that a word?), the little crystals cracking in your mouth, the aroma... I would not have guessed it was local produce. The same goes for the cured meats (some chorizo, and some cured ham, with a profile somewhere in between serrano and prosciutto). Really good stuff, and definitely not DOP.
What's wrong with that? We're trying 'real capitalism' and that's not working.

Also, there are large and loud political movements pushing for Scandinavian-style democratic socialism which has been successful, it's simply dismissive to act like all millennials don't understand politics and are just trying to be edgy.
Anecdotally, I've been told that the real reason for many "security screws" is that they simply facilitate higher-speed automated manufacturing -- the standard cross/phillips head isn't great for that.

This makes sense to me since "security screws" are an almost entirely useless form of tamper prevention or tamper evidence. However I've no idea what the real story is.

I'm wondering if somebody with knowledge can chime in....
Except that there is a huge social stigma around being an addict. There is a incentive to hide it.
Additionally, continue to pay them their current salary but not require them to work.

An unintended consequence of this might be that people make false allegations. It's tough to find the right balance. Maybe they get a stipend to live on, and the money is put into escrow for when the case is resolved.
They are, but if you start a new project and you want a permissive license you should probably choose Apache 2.0. It grants the same rights as an MIT or BSD license but also includes an explicit patent grant and a section that deals with the licensing of contributions.

Sorry right I did overcount that. But that is still 2 trillion USD - revenue per year. It establishes the scale of this sectors financial clout. Insurers payed out $135 billion USB in North America last year for natural disasters, and business is continuing as usual. Nuclear plants liability are capped in north america at 13 billion USD the nuclear industry is simply exempt from arranging full cover - unlike other industries. Its not really viable to contend the arrangements are not exceptional and are beyond the capabilities and interest of modern financial arrangements.

This statement > "which is problematic since there are more than twenty nuclear power stations in the US" shows a misunderstanding about the insurance business. It is not necessary to have assets to cover worst case events everywhere simultaneously. I expect you do understand that but have not given this subject your best attention.

There is an important incentive to manufacture some category of products that are necessary for security. How do you feel about EVERY single non-trivial chip and piece of electronics manufactured outside US? Can you, currently, buy ANY kind of computer that is not being handled in China?

It sure will cost more, but the industry does not grow overnight and people do need time to get experienced and I think it is vital that some country other than China supplies electronics, too.
You're correct. None of the parent's argument makes any sense in light of this error. I don't understand why the post is being upvoted--the data is outright wrong!

I sense that people may blindly upvote posts reporting figures, especially if they come with sources.
A little lump of Parmaggiano will, relevant bodily functions permitting, be the last thing I ever eat :)
I find it absolutely depressing that we end up being fixated on such useless problems. Why does Apple need a non-standard screw? We can safely assume that helps the phone be cheaper, (cheaper being relative, of course) or lighter, and/or thinner. (since these considerations underpin anything to do with its design.)

Why do these things matter? Because consumers like lighter & thinner phones I guess? But although consumer preferences (mostly) direct what people can sell, it doesn't mean that consumer preferences are actually good, useful, sensible, or anything else positive.
I'm Italian living in California, I looked far and wide for reasonable alternatives and wished to find good stuff here. You can give yourself all the medals you want but it won't make you the real deal, the stuff you mentioned might be passable grated but it's not even remotely the same when consumed by itself.
This is my problem with the idea of working from home at the moment. While we do have a spare room I could use, I think the possiblity for distraction would be too significant.

Once my youngest is in school in a couple of years it might become more of an option, but I'd still have the same issue during the holidays.

Basically I need a larger house to really make it work though. A friend of mine has an office-shed in his garden, which would be perfect if we had the space but sadly ours is too small for that.
This was really odd for me to learn only a couple weeks ago. I had always assumed I was a Gen Yer and that Millenials were just getting out of college now.
But eventually the wheat will separate from the chafe. If example.com is always clickbait / shit, eventually people will stop going there.

This so much. I don't think most Americans realize how much poorly designed build-environment/cities costs them. Both in terms of maintaining the infrastructure of the vast suburbs and the cost of personal vehicle ownership.
I've tried and failed to picture myself in an open plan. I realize in my cube when I'm debugging something hairy I talk to myself, swearing at the hardware and my mistakes and life. For my own sake and those around me I really need to be in either an office, a soundproofed cubical with tolerant cow-workers, or an asylum.
How useful is this tech? Some tech is just pointless or part of someone's scammy business.

How Eternal is the knowledge? Math is Eternal in the true sense, while that new webpage framework will be around for maybe just 2-5 years, and is thus not worth learning. (Although I am sometimes happy that people sacrifice their lifes on stuff like that, I would never do it.)

Vendor lock-in? I steer clear from that.

Is it being maintained? (Some things are okay not being maintained though. It depends on the type of tech.)

Surveillance potential. I am somewhat paranoid in my own personal life.

When procuring network-attached tech I usually dig through exploit-db and the CVEs and try to make myself a picture of how their security is being handled. Small companies are difficult to judge from this because they have little recorded history. (So I didn't buy any mikrotik router because of their shenanigan attitude to security, for example.)

Do the creator of the tech try to keep my hands away from digging into the machinery? Like hiding that it is really just a Linux/bsd box underneath? I stay away from that, if possible. (It's not always possible, almost all tech runs on Linux nowadays.)

I can be bribed to ignore any of these things that I usually avoid. For example, I learned MS Windows and some of their tech because I got bribed.

Mapzen Data and Software for Mapping to Become a Linux Foundation Project
Perhaps, but it's not like there's a lot of other examples of battery EVs out there to compare with, just the Leaf and the Bolt really. There's also the motors in the Volt and Prius (which are both capable of running motor-only, and for the Volt the motor provides all the propulsion). But you have a point, none of those others have had any motor problems I've heard of. Thought to be fair, the Tesla motors are a lot more powerful than those in any of those other cars.

Adding to whats already said in other replies:

Plus:

* is it tech i wanted before i knew it existed.

* tech clear on limitations / being unfit for case XYZ.

* community with low frustration levels.. where clear answers get clear questions.

Con:

* tech that is just the opinionated alternative of the month. Even if it catched on.

* tech website cant (or forgets to) explain solved problem in simple laymans terms.

* not actively maintained, must if facing external dependencies. (includes os, browsers, libraries, etc)

* docs are inconsistent/unversioned, or old versions are not kept available.
I Am Not a Real Programmer
Adam for Kite here. We learned a lot over the past year and have worked hard to build several new features to Kite based on detailed user feedback (much of which came from the HN community). We're excited to release two new features of special importance today:

* Line-of-Code Completions - Kite's completions engine can now predict several tokens of code at a time, powered by the most sophisticated AI code models available.

* Cloudless Processing - Kite now performs all processing locally on users' computers, instead of in the cloud. No need to upload your code to our servers. You don't even have to sign up for a Kite account.

We know privacy is a big concern for users, so that's why we decided to bring Kite off the cloud. You can learn more about this decision as well as the full Kite release on our blog post, linked here.

Our core belief is programmers spend too much time on repetitive work like copying and pasting from StackOverflow, fixing simple errors, and writing boilerplate code. That's why Kite uses AI to make writing code less repetitive and more fun.

Speaking of fun, we've set up a playground for you to try our Line-of-Code Completions out in your browser. We hope you enjoy it!

As always, Kite is free to download and use. And we no longer require user accounts now that we've moved off the cloud.

If you already use Kite (thank you for your support!), you now have these features via auto-update.

We're really looking forward to your feedback. The detailed feedback we've received in the past has been immensely helpful in getting us to this point. We'll be here all day to answer questions, too.

The likelihood of a crisis isn't just propagating out current trends. Once enough boomers die off, how will policy change? In 5-15 years, universal single-payer healthcare and tuition debt forgiveness are conceivable.
File.io – Ephemeral file sharing (Snapchat for files)
Aren't "data" and "program state" mostly one and the same? Encapsulation can easily be seen to matter whenever one has several plausible representations of data/state that all are to some extent isomorphic to each other, and one wishes to operate on these representations in a way that can be easily verified to respect the isomorphism, and not to rely on irrelevant details.

These considerations are actually becoming more relevant to FP rather than less, especially as we're slowly gaining a broader understanding of the potential of newly-developed features such as homotopy types, in enabling one to write programs that can work directly with such isomorphisms, ensure that desirable encapsulation-like properties hold, and even convert code to work "across" any arbitrary change in internal representation.
I thought that this sounded familiar and then I saw it was from Sep 2018 and the confusion abated.

Can we get an update to the title please? :)

Exactly. The only thing preventing me from eating a pound of parmigiano is the price. Sad parmesan powder? Nope.

It makes me sad that we have to move the product around the world to consume it because it is just made at 1 precise location, emitting a lot of CO2.
Git Absorb
Fuchsia isn’t pure Rust, but has a lot and it’s only increasing.
The speed of the rendering is amazing compared especially to e.g. google sheets. I just informally timed both and gsheets was rendered and editable in 4 seconds whereas this took 0.2 seconds.

However nearly every native UI interaction seems kinda broken. Even entering a value on Firefox doesn't work well. The first letter typed is entered into the cell but then every subsequent letter triggers firefox's fine-in-page (which also doesn't work as others have pointed out). Similarly copy/paste doesn't work, and the context menu (right-click) closes immediately. Maybe it works better in Chrome.

I wonder if there's a case to be made for a hybrid rendering/ui approach here. Rendering could be handled by canvas but native elements swapped in when actual text-editing is invoked?

Cool little demo in any case. I liked some of the simple but effective spreadsheet evaluation code.
I agree but still, many women are probably not virgins so...
Yep, that's a good point. How many years have they had now to unionize? The video game industry isn't exactly new.

Baidu Announces Xilinx-Based EdgeBoard for AI Applications
This is interesting to consider. While we have Netflix and iPhones, it's not clear to me that these actually improve QoL over the middle class life my parents enjoyed in the 70's/80's (spacious home, 2 cars in the garage, time for leisure, etc...)
I've only visited once and for a weekend.

My prejudices were not quite reflected in what I actually saw, since I came totally prepared to hate the living bejeezes out of this place.

It's not quite as black and white.

What impressed me most was the garden at the bay. Where they invested a cool billion to build a garden on the most expensive (reclaimed) real estate in the world.

The food is fantastic too.

I understand why my parents loved it. It's instant asia without the hangover you get in places like Bangkok, or Kuala Lumpur.

That said, and while I didn't totally hate it a weekend is fine and I don't really need to go back.

The comparison with Dubai seems apt. If you're not into shopping malls it's mostly a rather drab place.

And there's always the slight undercurrent of fascism, which I intensly disliked. I got the strong impression that if you don't go with the flow you're a pariah and a social outcast.

It also doesn't help that they charge roughly S$ 20 (and up) for a bloody beer at any place, which is halfway in the city center. It's a place where happy hour really makes sense.

So, if I want a huge city with unmatched shopping oportunities, which has still a lot to offer in terms of liveability I rather chose Tokyo.
