Broadcom chipsets are notorious under Linux, because its had to be reverse engineered without support from Broadcom. The reason it works out of the box on Windows 10 is because the drivers are fully supported, with Broadcom engineers providing a full implementation of everything - if they did the same for Linux then it would work perfectly there as well.
> multiGPU rendering for games in Linux is not currently possible in any shape or form (no games or solutions).

that's because crossfire has been abandoned for proper mGPU support in the new Vulkan API. which is 100% supported on Linux. this is total FUD
I looked into Pony some time ago and I always found the capabilities-thing to be quite complex although very interesting. It was hard to imagine using it in a project with developers unfamiliar to this concept. Especially since I was mostly working on large web applications where only tiny parts were actually using shared state between threads.

TBF I have never written Pony code, I was mostly reading documentation.
If complying with CLOUD act would infringe on EU citizens rights, is there any legal reason why EU regulator should not fine a company that is infringing EU laws?

We, Europeans, should follow our laws to their full extend and fine infringing companies with full power. No matter on whose request they break our laws.

Great article, really enjoyed it! Having had a curious mind ever since I can remember myself, I've always wondered how things work behind the scenes, television included. This was such an amazing read, getting to know about all the bits and pieces behind the scenes.
Furthermore, here are some tweets from last year when I started polishing a few of the minigames that appear in the game. You might enjoy a small look at their progress:

>It is easily possible to saturate a 100 Mbps network using an OpenVPN tunnel. The throughput of the tunnel will be very close to the throughput of regular network interface. On gigabit networks and faster this is not so easy to achieve. This page explains how to increase the throughput of a VPN tunnel to near-linespeed for a 1 Gbps network.

I think the protocol just wasn't designed for such high speeds.

I use offlineimap (https://www.offlineimap.org/) weekly to backup my email from FastMail.
I think it all depends on how this happens:

> don't need to work at all

For instance some people currently don't need to work. They are primary care-givers or already retired to give a few.

But we don't put them into ghettos because there is a consensus that we are better with them around than them out of the way, and also they get enough revenue to survive decently (they can get gov. help for that as well)

I think it would be the same if that situation spread to 95% of people, there would be a moment where people will start wondering "is my neighbour a net positive to society ?".
People will have a strong incentive to do something that is useful to the group, to keep a modicum of social status. In that sense I don't see society getting worse just because work is not a thing anymore, we'll still somewhat push people to do something, but it might genuinely be useful, for once.
Another thing is to add the DF Tube (or Distraction Free YouTube) extension which lets you hide most of the annoying parts of the UI like recommendations, comments, trending videos, etc.
I really like theirs newsletter, helps me to notice interesting topics I have missed and over the time highlights books that appear as recommended. That's how I finally started reading "Why we sleep", which I thought will be boring but is very entertaining.
According to my SW engineering study books, iterative development is redesigning the whole product from the beginning to add new features. Surely the author meant more agile methods?
So you agree with me, but still want to ridicule my argument ("parody of itself")? I'm also quite surprised to see a statistician use anecdata as arguments.

Humans are predictably irrational, there are mountains of scientific evidence on the topic [0, 1].

The industry plays us like fiddles to get us to consume ever more. There are more parameters than the ones I described above (socialization and long term hormonal effects come to mind), but the growth of the food industry is the main driver behind the obesity epidemics.

All that food has to be bought, otherwise there's no growth, and investors are not happy and they put their money elsewhere.

The easiest way to convince people to buy food is to make them want to eat it. Modern food has been engineered and optimized to be deceptive and take advantage of our instinctive and cognitive biases, in order to get us to eat more than we need to be healthy.

I think anyone with a corporate career and ambition is working hard these days. The difference with Americans is that so many in the workplace are just overly jittery disorganised idiots and it creates a cascading effect onto the culture.
> There's some data that indicates volumes drop off pretty dramatically over time at the individual well level. If this is true, then it requires perpetual investment of new capital in new wells just to maintain constant production volumes.

I discussed a few years ago this with my brother who's working in the oil industry. And he said that much, this type of well have much shorter lifespan than traditional oil well and new wells are required every few years. Of course it's just an anecdote from someone who's not even involved in that part of the industry, so take it with a grain of salt.
Tax breaks are minimal. Everyone should have a right to an excellent publicly funded education system (and they generally do, not just the childless), and paid maternity leave is absolutely necessary.

And you're clearly unaware of how much of a gross oversimplification it being a "choice" is.
The word "fueled" in the title is in the past tense. I think it was meant to be a discussion of history...
To be viable as a general desktop environment for non-technical users, that has to be true not just for some users like yourself, but for all but about a few in a thousand users across a very wide cross section of available hardware.

People want a do-everything device that fits in their pocket. Specifically their pocket. People who already have their phone in their hand are not going to put their phone away, open up their bag, take out their tablet, just to get a larger screen. People leave their bags behind when they go to the gym floor, into the bathroom at work and home, etc.

Leave us engineering professionals (who need workstations to be productive) out of it. Most people have one, pocketable, device. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that, if you work within that restriction, that bigger screens will give people better experiences and thus make for better products.

If it ever becomes feasible to have a phone that unfolds into the size of a TV, you'll quickly find fixed-size TVs become niche products for always-on monitoring dashboards and advertising billboards. People will just unfold their phones to watch whatever show or movie they're going to watch, even if it takes them a couple of minutes to unfold their phone that far to set it up.
We knew there was a problem since decades in fact, the disemination of tropical hammerhead flatworms that predate earthworms and can release the same neurotoxin as fugu fishes (in our potatoes?).

But we shouldn't fall in the temptation of making a mountain from a sand grain. Falling in gross extrapolation for clickbait purposes is as bad as no data. I can be wrong, but it seems that what we have here is an article done in part by volunteers and non professional ecologists (there is a variability in the observers), about a local area and in a narrow date interval.

Would be like to register what I ate the 23-Jan and assume that this is what I will eat for the rest of the year. Earthworm populations can raise and fall as a normal process.

And we should not mistake quantity by quality. I had analysed marine trophic chains and marine annelida appear everywhere. There is a huge biodiversity in sea worms. Huge loads of some species is bad, not good. Means that the ecosystem is in big trouble. With earthworms is the same. Not finding earthworms is not always a problem and finding a lot of them is not always good news.
It's absolutely about financial support as well as everything else. If everyone thought about it in a purely financial way, you'd be forced to have children.

> Why is there no such requirement for MacOS?

Probably because nobody expects much from MacOS anyway?

One relevant part of the Apple world is, that it works within it's narrow world of Hard- and Software. This is how they sell it.

There is much much more Win-certified hardware out there. Much of it isn't used (for Win) anymore and therefore cheap as hell for excample. This is the hardware you'd expect your software to work with. This is where it's worth to invest time in.
"The problem is, that sometimes, unfortunately, these tools are just not sufficient, it's still easy to shoot your own foot and get lost in a sea of complexity."

I didn't take it as rude! I appreciate your input. And I agree that the billing will seem more complicated until and unless I can win enough trust that users realize the costs don't matter, because they'll come out ahead.

You're right that sending/receiving don't add to overhead much. The receipt is actually way overinflated right now, and should be down to a more reasonable number tomorrow (about $0.03/1000). I might just waive it completely if it complicates things too much.

Sending is much harder, because I need to deter spammers. I priced it significantly above Mailchimp's price for that reason. But the cost will definitely go down as my ability to detect and ban spammers improves, and we'll likely end up pretty much with a scheme like you're proposing.
There is hardly anything significant about the current subsidies in place, especially with respect to the other subsidies that exist already. Tech is one of the biggest recipients of subsidies as it is.

At least in Denmark, I really hate the petrol mopeds.

For some reason I don't understand, they're allowed to use most bike paths. That means they overtake the bicycles (and I don't like being overtaken with little clearance by larger, heavier vehicles) and leave a trail of fumes all along the cycle path. They're naturally going to be first in line at the traffic lights, spewing more fumes for the cyclists behind them.

On my commute, I'll change my route if there's a moped ahead.

(Cars are bad too, but they're not in my face, and seem to have much better emissions controls.)

Ask HN: What do you use for your CMS / marketing site?
My team build a web app, and we have our stack sorted for that - but we have a self-hosted landing page / marketing site and we want to outsource it's development and allow our non-technical staff to keep it up-to-date.

What do you use? Are there any excellent agencies / development shops that I should know about? Is there anything better than Wordpress? We could also use things like hubspot or instapage.

Virtually all our pages are static, and we don't need payment handling / e-commerce stuff. Just easy-to-update CMS, decent SEO, fast enough loading for good UX.
I don’t understand why people recommend books like “a programmers introduction to mathematics”.

They’re advertised as books for “programmers” or people that know little math, yet they hide solutions from the reader.

The reader that doesn’t know proper proofs or deep mathematics likely isn’t the same ones that know if their solutions are correct.

Programmers like to write code with test cases. We don’t like to write code once and trust there are no bugs. So, why would we want to write mathematics any differently? How is a beginner math student even going to know if their answers are correct? I’m sure someone reading this will say “you’re robbing the reader” if you provide solutions. I don’t agree with that. That’s a bit of gatekeeping because not everyone has access to a TA or professor and we’d really like to learn this stuff and know if we’re on the right track.

Are there any actual math text with solutions that are better than the one advertised in this list?
Then I am impressed :) I don't know enough ruby to know exactly why, though. I am just used to seeing this kind of behaviour in guile, and for guile I don't really see why that would be hard, at least if you have enough visibility.

I might have gotten it wrong for guile as well :) sorry to sound so dismissive. I would love to read your thesis!
Why is it being called a 'concentrantion camp'? Can someone explain that to me?
I agree. Companies need to find a way to operate within the law, or not operate. Throwing your hands up and saying it’s too hard is not an acceptable answer.
> The problem is that if the law says that we __could__ be forced to add something and not allowed to tell our customers, then there's no way for somebody to tell if we're telling the truth.

Why not report the opposite on a regular basis?

"We're happy to report that we haven't been forced by authorities to implement a backdoor in our systems."

That way, when you stop writing that every week or month or what have you, everyone paying attention will know you've been forced to add a backdoor and might be gagged.

I wrote this article :) I sold to Gadu-Gadu my bot for pennies. Owners of Gadu-Gadu sold the network to the Naspers. It did not have anything common with my small project (my bot had ~2k users when I sold it. Gadu-Gadu network had 11 million). They did not even buy it from me to work on it further. I edited the original paragraph because it could be misunderstood.

Understanding the Monty Hall Problem
I think people might just work on projects smaller than I'm used to. I set up a build on day one of a project and then just it for the next six months or year or whatever, so I really never see it as a pain point. As you say, well worth it for all of the benefits.

Although frankly if I was doing lots of small projects I'm sure I'd have one of the many starter projects set up how I like it and it would just be running a script once.
In fact I often use the "Thing thing" approach to variable declaration and I think I like it. It's an easy way for me to avoid thinking about taxonomy. But it's not that important. If it wasn't possible I could invent different names.

What really irks me is that in case-insensitive languages, codebases naturally start to use all kinds of variations of casing, to refer to the same variable. It really trips me up when reading code. It's also difficult when writing code since I tend to remember variable names in a very visual way. (Same reason why I dislike the case-insensitive Windows filesystems).

There simply isn't any good reason not to always use the same case for any variable throughout a project.

Beyond that it's also aesthetically not pleasing, from an engineering viewpoint. Case-insensitive comparison is much more complicated than simply comparing strings as arrays of bytes.

Historically, I think the reason why case-insensitive languages exist is simply that at the time they were invented (at least in the case of Pascal), many systems couldn't input lowercase characters.

Don't SPF/SSL also provide proof that email comes from where it says it does? As far as I can tell, DKIM's advantage is to allow for direct message forwarding (not remailing), which is a fair use case, but pretty specific. In return it introduces a fair chunk of complexity to do right, with signing and message key rotation and keeping track of who you gave keys to.

SpamAssassin assigns small positive scores for valid SPF/DKIM/whatnot headers (and larger negative for lacking either), but it's not really an effective spam deterrant. Spammers can set up their own domains that pass all the checks (although I've heard they're having good times just sending from Gmail).
> Wouldn't depositing such checks be trivial?

In Belgium? No, not really, nobody uses checks and I'm fairly certain that for most banks it will cost quite a bit of money to deposit.
