My experience is that after some time and level of proficiency in a language, some just stop learning and caring. I think that is a pity because I believe that with revisiting the rules in interesting exercises one can fix the mistakes even later.

It may help your Aunt to learn German (again) with beginners books. There are good self-learner books with interesting exercises. They are less than 20€ per level and if you are already good, it should be easy to do multiple pages per hour.

It would be important for a native speaker to check the answers, though. And also the solutions should be crosschecked with the books solutions, if there are any, because many Germans don't know all the rules correctly. If in doubt, just stick with the book.
State of Fear is a great eye opening book. The parts about how the news media exists to keep is scared is very enlightening and true.
I have been regular, everyday user of Signal for over four years. Myself and my friends use it as our primary communication method. In the last two or so years, it has been what I can only describe as "complete and utter shite".

When I send an image to a friend, it can take hours to send a half-megabyte image despite my internet connection being fine. When this happens, none of the consequent messages send. If I close my phone, messages stop sending. So I must violate my privacy by keeping my phone open for sometimes, hours at a time, just to send a stupid little image.

Despite the fact that sending an image will cause consequent messages to be delayed by hours, messages have started, in the last 6 to 12 months, to be sent out of order. This can be disasterous, as a fair number of my friends have depression and other problems, which means (as an example) my "haha" responses can sometimes be seen to be responding to /other/ messages (And yes, I can use the quote function, but sometimes that interrupts the flow of messaging).

This, plus stupid little problems like, backups not being tested to be forward-compatible (something that is ridiculously easy to test, but that they could not be bothered to do), mean that relying on signal is a fool's game at this point.
I totally get that I just think there is a lot of value to the tinkering being possible on the device they use for everything else.

How many kids got a PC to play games on but while bored found QBasic and Gorillas.bas.

How many kids on MySpace or NeoPets learnt HTML/CSS as a way to customize their profiles.

This all used to be a reality when kids grew up using a general purpose computing platform, now the choices are a Tablet that works as a general purpose platform you can't tinker with or a board you can only tinker on but not use as a computer.

Ask HN: What could UK do with a no-deal exit to save its economy?
I have been wondering amidst these short sighted news stories - What could UK actually do to save itself in the event of a no-deal exit?

As in, what kind of economic levers do they have to stay afloat or even try to get ahead of the pack..

Can they just reduce tariffs and taxes so much that all of UK becomes an easy tax haven?

Or reduce taxes, tariffs and incentivise businesses so much to compensate for the loss of access to EU and steer them to look toward everyone else?

What could their move be?
No, that's old tech. We need sprinkler robots!
not true, unless you are racist. Some words change their gender depending on the region. Like Radio, Cola, Butter, Bretzel, Kaugummi etc.. they are called "Substantiven mit schwankendem Genus"
But that's using a whole different noun, albeit one that sounds similar. In this case using the correct gender won't help, especially if the sentence could make sense with both nouns.
Those agreements are now void if they've broken the law.

>What if you had a child or sister, who got kidnapped. Then the police came, and said to your child or sister: "Ok, we'll rescue you, if we can have sex with you."

What? That's a completely different situation. The person in the story was doing his job just fine, no blackmail involved. He just decided to spend his free time paying for a sex service.

Hiring a prostitute in your free time is not abusing people.

I was really disappointed with the A380, having been told there was a noticeable difference. It was just like any other place, and being British Airways in 2017 the overall service was very much no-frills, verging on comparable to Ryanair.
nthing all the comments that these are criticisms of bad touchpads, not all touchpads, and that the Apple ones with OSX are great. For the click and drag motion I have it set to be a three finger drag (no click) and it works great. And two finger scrolling is much better than a mouse's wheel since you can scroll in 2 dimensions.

I use a Windows laptop, too, and between the inferior trackpad and inane use of ctrl (as opposed to command which is comfortably under the thumb) for all modifiers, it just doesn't feel as efficient or ergonomic to me.
Wow, I have to admit I didn't expect that large an effect.

Even if that were the only effect of GDPR, I think we could already chalk it up as a huge win, but it won't be. The recent news about German anti-trust regulators using very GDPR-like language to forbid Facebook data gathering/correlating, but with the additional teeth of anti-trust, is also a good sign.

I also saw that less than 100 fines were levied, so for now a rate of 600:1 breaches:fines.
Even worse, Tumblr had an incident where they accidentally changed <?php to i?php (my guess would be editing directly on the server with vim?) and exposed not only their source code but also credentials.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2343351

It would have been possible for tumblr to avoid this with good development practices (don’t edit code live, don’t bake credentials into code, etc) but I imagine there was a culture of doing it at the time.

I don’t think it’s fair to tell developers “use our language, it’s super easy!” and then expect them to discard all of those bad habits as they start putting things in production.

Ask HN: How do you stay fit?
8 to 10 hour a day dev here with a family at home. I find it near impossible to find time to squeeze in a workout most days. As such I've fallen into the worst shape of my life.

I've started to suffer from Cholinergic Urticaria (Heat Rash where you need to sweat but can't) and am convinced it's due to my total lack of activity. The rash and the pins and needles it brings with it are pure torture, and darn good motivation to get off my butt and do something.

So, any recommendations / plans / routines / apps that have worked for you, HN? I'm not opposed to going to a gym, but time is tight so workouts that can be done anywhere would be good I think.

What is this supposed to parse to?
Gotchas in Javascript are syntactic/semantic, because there's no standard library worth its name bundled with it.

PHP's gotchas are syntactic/semantic but mostly on its huge standard library, which is an haphazard collection of functions from sending emails to parsing ID3 tags from MP3 files.

EDIT: JS, as the legend says, was written in 10 days, while PHP grew without much long term vision for years.
I don't have any evidence to support it, I just feel like it would be easy to reduce global emissions in a short space of time as we already have the technology. E.g mass installation of renewal energy like wind and solar which we already have the tech for. Eating more plant based foods as animal products are incredibly wasteful, again we can easily do this it's just changing people's habits. More recycling etc, lots that can be done.

Is it really true that with zero emissions tomorrow we'd still be in trouble? I find that hard to believe
This would be a cool addon into a Unity C# game, easily spin up some procedural dialog by NPCs, have some rhyming characters, spit out some 'clues' in their rhymes then save those as text variables and store them in the environments puzzle as solution pieces. Kind of dehumanizing though for the game, like sucking out the soul.

>>> "Bezos apparently believes that he was hacked"

Hacking implies a sophisticated attack.

Not saying either government didn't do it. Following paxys line of thought I would however agree that hacking is not the most likely explanation in how the private data was taken.

Social engineering is sometimes also described as an "hack" but I doubt that is what Bezos implies with the word.
Right, but that standard is more about the written standard language than about the language as spoken in Hannover. I know it's a trope that TV news announcers supposedly pronounce things like they are pronounced in Hannover, but that pronounciation is not a standard.

While that's probably not what you want to hear: Why not fix the software issue with the XGA projector and then create slides with not less then ~23pt font size for the code?

This is a trivial remark, but: Better show less code, with foreground and background colours, bold font, etc. -- showing too much code on a slide is like showing too much equations: it takes the audience a lot of time to read and understand your slide. Certainly too much time, compared to the speed you wanted to rush through the your slides ;)
>Apple is following up on their own promise to be a privacy-first company.

My current setup consists of the following:

- A XD75 ortholinear keyboard with the default split layout (looks like this but I have relegendable keycaps [1] )

- A Contour design RollerMouse Red Plus [2]

- A SwiftPoint ProPoint mouse (the latest addition)

An I am looking forward to maybe replacing the RollerMouse Red with a high end touchpad (at the moment the only existing one is the Apple Magic Trackpad 2)

I find that this setup allows me to more evenly distribute the effort between the hands. I can use arrow/PU/PD/Home/End with either hand and I can mouse with either hand.

The ability to switch hands and easier (though less precise) scrolling is why I usually prefer touchpads.

On the laptop I have a touchpad with buttons both above and below the touchpad but no clicking or force sensing on the touchpad. I have it configured so that all the buttons below are primary click and one of the buttons above is secondary click and tapping is disabled(because no feedback). The goal was the same, make it easy to use with either hand. The old MacBook trackpads that had a button were great at this. Having one button to keep pressed with the thumb made dragging easy on the trackpad.

On a six button touchpad there is potential for chording but since I didn't get used to chording on a mouse I did not try it on a touchpad.

> - "cut and paste and edit" is broken. You can't autoformat the pasted code into the right place, you have to go back and fix the whitespace. Since whitespace is semantically significant, this can introduce bugs.

Depends on how your editor is configured / it's feature set. Which makes me wonder how editorconfig would handle this when enabled. It seems like a insignificant issue to me, you can auto-PEP8 the code before pasting it. You should probably be following PEP8 anyway (as far as spacing is concerned at least).

> - visually identical whitespace may not be textually identical whitespace. Unless you go around breaking the tab key off your colleague's keyboards you'll trip over this. Especially (again) if you paste. Occasionally seen in merges too.

I turn on show all whitespace on my editors regardless of programming language. I've been burned by Sublime Text not just figuring out the already defined whitespace ruleset for a file by what it's using and just shoving in it's own defaults. I wish all editors would base whitespace on what the file's structure looks like, if there's mixed spaces, give me a warning.

> - editors can no longer give you 100% correct indentation.

I don't understand this, it sounds like you've got your editor configured poorly or something? But it goes back to how unintuitive the nice editors can be. You can use editorconfig to define the indentation project wide, then any editor should pick it up, of course if you define PEP8 at a minimum it guarantees spacing settings.

I'm not sure if PyCharm covers a few of those cases, since I use it so seamlessly I don't usually have complaints.

There are also many foods eaten in other parts of the world which don’t look weird and have nothing to do with bugs but most e.g. Americans refuse to eat for no apparent reason.

Show HN: Beadifier – Import images and generate patterns for perler beads
https://www.beadifier.com/

Different brands of fuse beads offer different ranges of color options, but none of them come close to giving you the millions of colors of say a computer screen. So, how can we possibly represent images with fuse beads?

A dithering algorithm intentionally uses noise to smooth out errors in compression. In our case, the compression we are applying is the limited set of colors available. Using a website like Beadifier, we can easily import an image and generate a dithered pattern based on the colors of beads we have.

Appsec weekly review
Hungarian is the same. Finno-ugrics ftw!

“Computer” is non-existent in Hungarian, we call it számitógép, built from the words számitás (to calculate) and gép (machine). Since most Hungarian words are constructed like that, it sounds completely native to the language.

I cringe whenever I hear English words mixed in with Hungarian ones, they sound completely out of place, which is probably not true for German.
I come from a place where sarcasm is the usual tone of conversation, so my original reply could or could not have been taken seriously.

What you'll get a fine for is:

- Not reporting a major databreach promptly when you become aware of it

- Not responding well or taking proper steps to notify affected people

- Not taking basic precautions to safeguard data

- Being warned and then disregarding guidance (what it seems Facebook has done)

This is the kind of thing that makes me not want to register anywhere except on sites that use known open source and actively maintained software (so mostly forums). But I guess it's too late. The best I can do is generate a bunch of unlinked email addresses, and randomize passwords everywhere with my password manage. I used to use LastPass a lot, but once I lost my vault I havent gone back to fill a new vault, I really do want to use BitWarden as a LastPass alternative, but I've just been putting it off for a while. Maybe it's definitely time to take the plunge.
Exactly. I think the ratio reflects this very sensible approach. It always seemed sensible to me, but it's good to see the data confirm that, in a rough way.

What evidence do you have to support the economy tanking upon No deal?

Here are the facts:

Greed will always conquer everything, that is, the large corps, banks etc are greedy and if they want somehting to happen then ultimately it will, that is - if they want to trade they will make it happen, they're not going to let a nation rich economy such as the UK with all it's spending power not buy their goods and on the flip side those same corporations who have their fingers in all the UK pies will make sure they can sell their goods and services.

There is zero evidence except for speculation that the economy will tank, what's more likely is that countries like Germany and France that export (more than they import) masses to the UK will feel the pinch much harder and put pressure on the negotiators to sort it out.

The strongest evidence for trackpads being objectively inferior to mice is the lack of pro-level FPS players using them.
Yes, I think that the way to go from a personal POV. Laws won’t be able to change that.
Probably sounded decent on the radio though.
With macOS and BetterTouchTool, I set up trackpad to do so much:

- 2 finger swipe left/right: go back and forward

- 3 finger tap: open link in new tab

- 3 finder swipe left/right: move between tabs

- 3 finger swipe up: new tab/window

- 3 finger swipe down: close tab/window

- 4 finger swipe left/right: move between virtual desktops

There are so many other gestures available too. While I prefer having a desktop and a mouse if I'm going to spend hours working on a project...the Apple trackpads are still the best out there imo.

Note that what constitutes a reportable breach under Article 33 GDPR [1] is not entirely clear yet, so companies tend to over-report rather than risk the consequences of under-reporting.

For example, I know of a financial institution that reported a breach because they sent an account statement to the wrong address.

(Edit: well, certain breaches are entirely clear, of course. It's the breaches at the lower boundary that are in question.)

Even if data-breaches are not punished, we can still shame them and avoid using their product, which is a major step up from the old status quo where actively hiding the breach to avoid bad press was a legitimate strategy with very little downside.
