That's why it'd have to be layers and you'd have to have some clever way of keeping what in each layer goes with which code.

I started playing with it a while back in terms of how you'd structure it and what I came up with was something like

foo.cs
foo.shallow
foo.deep

So that all existing tooling would work, foo.cs would just be regular old code and only if your editor supported layers would it care about .shallow and .deep, I didn't like that it would clutter up files.

If I ever get the time I'd like to implement a rough prototype in intellij.
Oil exposed to air can start to go bad after a month or so exposed to oxygen. So if your coffee beans have visible oil, they’ll be slightly more likely to taste worse sooner, just because the oil’s right there on the surface. But it doesn’t necessarily mean anything negative otherwise. If it helps, think of it like butter: you can reasonably leave a stick of butter on the counter for a while, and then it doesn’t taste as good anymore. Coffee is the same way, oil or not :)
No, it verifies that the certificate was issued to someone whose ID was checked. Money is paid for the covering the bureaucratic costs and keeping the records etc.
You can opt out of ads, actually, and those will be respected. And companies in the industry knew they'd play by the rules or suffer.

I was in favour of DNT and made a little browser extension that would allow you to DNT some sites and not others. My hope was that eventually we'd be in a state where you could signal to the site right away whether you'd accept tracking or not and the site could paywall you if you didn't. That way it's a "pay with your data or money" loaded into the User Agent and I think I like that. It respects user choice.
It’s not completely irrelevant. Like I said, if you know you need big iron you use big iron (I dealt with as400s and cobol for years).

But it’s not a commonly taught tech anymore. I look at it like a lot of niche languages. Erlang has a lot of great advantages but if it costs several multiples more budget to hire for I’m going with python if I can get away with it.

I will always use the most boring possible tool to solve a problem because I don’t want to get stuck as the “that thing” guy. And because I’d rather spend my “effort” bucks on stuff that directly makes me money.

Edit: I’ve seen zseries feature set and it’s impressive. Still not going to use it over AWS if I can get away with it.
> Good. It'll pass the House and then the Senate is forced to vote on it

How is the Senate forced to vote on it? McConnell seems to be fond of blocking votes that go against the Republican agenda. See: the shutdown. Also the anti-corruption and voting rights bill that passed the House will not be brought up for a vote in the Senate. Is there something about this bill that forces the Senate to vote on it?
I feel like I am the only one but I find that "uniqueness" - sour/fruity taste disgusting and can't stand the lighter roasts.

I prefer a dark roast with heavy cream :)
If you look at the bill of materials for a smartphone, the SoC is like... $20? Making the sort of interconnects you'd need and making them reliable enough probably costs about that much. For most people this need can be solved with software (Dropbox/OneDrive/iCloud), not hardware.
How+to+Draw:+Free+Beginner's+Course
What about the millions and millions of small businesses across the globe that were able to grow, reach their customers beyond the borders of their cities, states, or even countries, create jobs, create stability, and bring goods and services to the people that want or need them.

What about the charitable giving products that Facebook builds that has collected billions of dollars for charities globally?

What about the first of it's kind Crisis Response tools that allows people involved in natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or other horrible situations communicate with their family and friends across the globe and let them know they're safe - for free.

What about the groups functionality that allows people come together to support one another through cancer diagnosis, or the loss of a loved one (grief counseling), or coach and help one another land jobs.

I could go on for a little while longer, but the point is the facebook isn't the only company or service that can do the things I've listed above, but it's the only one that does all of them and doesn't charge the end user. Let's not kid ourselves, building those products and the infrastructure that it rests upon is not free nor easy and requires tremendous talent and resources.

Facebook is a business like any other and it has to make money, and it does so through ads. So to judge it purely on your experience/use case that may not include any of the products/features I mentioned above, it may seem like it doesn't produce a net positive result.

But for those users that have and continue to use facebook in these ways, the benefits are obvious.
When were those days?

I remember that 99/100 users didn’t think before installing a free screensaver and got hit with some kind of malware.

While I disagree with how centralized this practice is I’m applauding that an effort is being made to keep malware off consumer devices.

What we need is a decentralized and self policing ecosystem. A Wikipedia of validation.

Something that’s truly monumenta to pull together.

I understand why so many vendors have centralized their efforts.
Maybe OP is willing to help. And in any case, it's still useful. What if he's trying to run a FOSS project and doesn't have $500 for a cert? I would say that's different than someone walking around saying "I want".
I'm really excited about the software side of Purism but I can't justify buying a 2 year old processor on the laptop at a price still more expensive than alternatives, especially since that refresh happened in the last few months.
Aiding and abetting a criminal is itself a crime, following that reasoning leads to a criminal interview, regardless of whether you think the original crime should be considered criminal.
> You mock those who desire freedom at your own risk. Github is microsoft now, and supporting it feeds the beast.

Oh no, it's the 90s and Micro$oft is evil! They're going to embrace, extend, extinguish all my open source software! I won't be free to develop software anymore!

I'm quite happy with Microsoft, and if supporting GitHub "feeds the beast", then I'm likewise happy to see that beast well-fed.
Car ownership is innately expensive. Between regular maintenance, the cost of fuel, insurance, inspections, and the aggregated costs of getting a replacement every ~10-20 years you are easily spending several thousand dollars a year in vehicles even if you try to be optimally frugal about it. Most people are easily over 10k a year in car expenses, especially on some of the ludicrous commutes people on the west coast put up with.

If you have never met them consider yourself upper crust, but there exists a substantial population in the US and all other western countries of those who can not afford a car. You often don't see them because it turns out traveling any substantial distance from your often impoverished neighborhood without functional public transit or private car ownership can be quite prohibitive.

So even the guy driving the "clunker" car down this highway is still probably in the upper half of wealth in the area, easily, assuming they are actually affording to inspect, license, and insure themselves and their vehicle. A lot of people don't, but its a bit egregious to try to count people breaking the law driving on the road in the first place as contributing to the average wealth of the drivers on said road.
> we don't get this in Rust because of type inference

Might be worth mentioning that (AFAIK) type inference is entirely optional in Rust. If you prefer to write explicit types on your decls that's fine. (I suspect there are pathological cases where the type is impractical to write, but you'd have been screwed then anyway.)

This won't help you when reading other people's code, obviously.
Anybody could do it, but they didn't and you didn't either. It's really easy to bag on any art with that line of reasoning, but the fact of the matter is that art lives in time and space, and at the time that piece was made nobody else did it, and readymade had a colossal influence on every other aspect of modern art (and even design) that came after that. It's easy to dismiss it as a urinal with marker when you ignore the context in which it was created and presented and the influence it had on other art, much of which is universally regarded as beautiful.
It sounds like she "was" meant to survive.
The migrant caravan is very obviously being accused of breaking the law (at a minimum, conspiracy to commit a crime) and the journalists have "an alleged role tied to the caravan"

Is this hard to grasp?

>For each person, the documents show their photo, often from their passport but in some cases from their social media accounts, along with their personal information. That information includes the person’s date of birth, their “country of commencement,” and their alleged role tied to the migrant caravan.
Also considering the layers of hardware with layers of firmware. ... I should probabbly learn something about that too....

I'm thinking along the lines of google's blog on Meltdown and Spectre recently that basically said if two things are on the same processor.... there's nothing you can do now security wise and be sure about it.
Show HN: jtreminio/volsync – A tool to reduce Docker for Mac volume slowness
It doesn't make it inherently safe, but if you are attempting to prove your builds are safe then it is impossible for anyone else to verify that without the source. See the thread on Debian reproducible builds from earlier this week for more discussion on this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19310638

Code signing is something you can do on both open-source or closed-source, but it doesn't prove anything other than that a particular build was made by a certain person.
I like how Stripe does idempotent requests [0]. Essentially, you end up saying, "do this thing, which I'm calling 'charge-for-cust-foo', but only do it once, even if I tell you to do it again." Putting the "burden" of generating a unique idempotency key on the client seems to be the best solution, otherwise, they have to somehow store the idempotency key that your service generates to re-send it for the next request, which adds complexity on their end, especially when the request could be sent from multiple servers that need to share which key belongs to which request (i.e. multiple servers rule out storing the keys in memory, which would already pose a risk due to crashes/restarts clearing memory).

> Does your great code solve the customers problem?

To me, "solving the customer's problem" is part of the definition of great code. Not sure what definition of "great code" would not involve that.

And again, we are talking software. So you have an awesome communicator who cannot code (and can't delegate...). Versus a so-so communicator who can code. No contest.
That's why top programmers are more like top athletes; absolute focus, subordination of all activities towards their goals, delayed satisfaction. Companies that are lucky to get them crush the ones populated with regular, solid developers. That's why velocity is what matters in the end, if you have world-class developers.
Both of these analogies are against net neutrality though. The postal service has special requirements and costs for shipping packages that could impact it's services or employees such as Ord-D and Hazmat. Electrical services differentiate between loads that have an impact on the service in the form of power factor correction fees. You just don't see these as a typical homeowner because nothing you run has enough impact to warrant it.

There are two major parts/ideologies in Net Neutrality centered around the idea that traffic should be treated equal no matter what it is, and that traffic should be treated equal no matter where it is from or two. Both of these stances lead to interesting and nuanced technical discussion or at least used to before they became a broader public platform.
similar, I also started using a Go-inspired ~/src/HOST/ACCOUNT/REPO pattern for all my source repositories, which makes that mostly easier to deal with.

For the most part, just using directory structures is all I need. When working on something temporary, I also have a second SSD mounted and symlinked in ~/Work and another for ~/Projects ... I also have a NAS for backup and hard storage.
In LA, scooters become the next data privacy fight
Sure it only affects 50 people /now/, but this kind of a thing is really slippery slope. What's to stop the application of this process to other issues that the government would rather journalists not be looking into?
This might be an option, but it's a lot of extra work for only a portion of the users. Only works on Windows 10.
Yea I agree. You can definitely disconnect completely from society. I've been off social media for a while and don't really follow much outrage media. But you can't tell your friends and family what to do. They can still have an unhealthy fixation on the latest media/culture war and unless you disconnect from those people it will become a part of your life. Technically you can always be a hermit. I just don't find that a very appealing choice.
Honestly, with Shkreli's level of ambition and intellect, I doubt he'll ever be broke or unsuccessful.

I'm not a fanboy or anything, but a big percentage of rich people have done some illegalities. They still end up on top. It's really survival of the fittest.

The humble people that want work life balance and doing the right thing are way less rewarded with money and luxury. You can be on the humble side, but don't wish misery on the witty capitalists. It will never happen.
Two in five 'AI startups' essentially have no AI, mega-survey finds [pdf]
There's no difference between a CEO and a gangster apparently. They both ruin lives, kill people, and use contraband cellphones from jail to continue doing so. It's sad that our culture glorifies one but despises another when they are equally evil and antisocial.
Free Shkreli
I read a fair bit of it, and then started skimming. It seems to me that they think the 'bad idea' is how people are classified. They think that young people are learning that the underdog is always good and the people in power are always bad.

Instead, I think they hit on the real problem accidentally: Binary choices aren't real. Life isn't just black and white, good and bad, wrong and right. It's all grey area with almost nothing falling into the very extremes.

Being unable to recognize that people are complex is what people today are lacking, I think.

Those are now required to be reported in transparency reports and have been for the past few years.
I think the WSJ and Shkreli both have things to gain from over-sensationalizing the story, I think your comment is spot on.
Is it a Duck or a Rabbit? For Google Vision, it depends how the image is rotated
Its neat, but doesn't make sense for a majority of apps/programs. Why would I run GIMP/Photoshop or any Graphics-heavy program on my phone? Why run any GPS-enabled app on my Desktop?

You say "awful AI", but it's clearly a AAA selling game, where 90%+ of players play on the single player setting.

What is your goal as a designer? To make a game with state of the art AI, or to make a game that has AI that keeps people buying and playing your game?

I know which I would choose.
With invention of photography artists realized that there is no reason to depict reality anymore. But they also realized that there is much more happening than watching image. It is whole experience of contexts, mood of place and the way how the art is shown and all kinds of subtle things.

It is not about what anyone can physically do nor if it's easy or hard. It is about the ideas and navigating culture and finding interesting connections. It is opposite of random.

It's like saying "But this textfile with some wierd file extension? Anyone with no skill can write random characters on keyboard and call it programming"

Don't get me wrong i hate contemporary art but there are many interesting and important ideas coming out of it.

It's just not made for general public anymore. And people in that bubble don't care. That type of art was replaced by tattoos, illustrators, photographers and even popular movies/games etc.
More like categories, no?
Total US energy consumption by energy source in 2017: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/?page=us_energy_home
In many places your electricity usage costs more per kilowatt hour as you consume more kilowatt hours. So in essence, more power hungry appliances do cost more per kilowatt hour to use. For example, if someone powers an AC during the summer, their bill will be higher in a non-linear way based on the excess electricity consumption during this time. This makes running the AC more expensive per kilowatt hour if you view it this way. You could be consuming 2x the electricity but have a bill that is 3x higher.

The analogy for the net would be that domains that require more kilobytes would begin to pay more per kilobyte to have it delivered. I'm not saying I agree with this at all but the electricity analogy can be applied very easily to anti-net neutrality advocates' point of view.
By "most harmful" I meant total harm to society, not personal harm per microgram or something.

How many families have been torn apart by alcoholism? How many drunk driving deaths? And yet it still doesn't get the stigma of being "drugs" - this is the bullshit I'm referring to.
The boy who cries wolf <-> The app that notifies

Do it too often and with too much urgency, and eventually you will be utterly ignored.
I believe recent Windows and other recent OSs can hash the contents of pages and de-dupe them, which could have some benefits for the same library linked statically across multiple binaries, assuming the identical code ends up page aligned in the same way. This strategy also has benefits for running VMs with the same OS loaded multiple times.

Not sure why you think "great code" = "overengineering".

Great code is not overengineered, by definition.

K-Software does not sell EV certificates for $85/yr. They start at $349/yr.

The parent comment's issue is that EV certificates are essentially required due to the poorly-designed SmartScreen reputation filter. The $85/yr certificate you're mentioning doesn't help solve this.
I've been using ~/src/HOST/ACCOUNT/REPO pattern for all source code since playing with go... host could be github.com or GROUP.visualstudio.com .. account can be an account/group/project name and repo is the individual code repo. Local temp things ~/src/local/PROJECT/REPO

I have also taken to a few setup scripts that ensure tooling is installed, and checks out the repos in their respective directories.
> The migrant caravan is very obviously being accused of breaking the law

By whom? I've never heard this!

> (at a minimum, conspiracy to commit a crime)

What crime? What are you talking about?

> Is this hard to grasp?

Yes, because none of it is true. It looks like it's all made up to me and you have offered no evidence of your claims. You just state that you are "very obviously" right, but I think you are lying.

What law is so obviously being broken, that would lead to individual people being very obviously accused of breaking it? Having "ties" to something is not a criminal accusation anyway, so I'm really super confused about this.

AFAIK, none of the journalists or activists are accused of committing any crimes, much less convicted of it already as suggested by OP.
At some level, that's also what glider pilots do to take off from mountains.
Are Airpods and Other Bluetooth Headphones Safe?
I too find myself in constant awe when in the presence of renaissance masters. I can't stop returning because italy is dripping with it every where you turn, constantly full of awe-inspiring surprises. In terms of workmanship, there is nothing since which compares to even the 10th-best basilica in rome.

But I don't appreciate those nearly as much as I do no-named postmodern pieces, even procedurally-generated ones. There are so many curious layers of questions that arise when staring into the abstract and being left to your own perception to pull out appreciable components. So much to wonder about the artist, his intentions, and his chaotic vision or process. It is far deeper than masterful material work.

Considering how absolutely we are able to control materials these days, particularly now that atomic-level artificial composition is within our power, I find the questions of what? why? why not? or even lol wtf? far more appetizing to modern curiosity.
People escape it all the time. We don’t live in the main DC continuity.
I'm curious about your hand grinder and if it does a better job than my automatic Baratza Encore burr grinder (priced at about $129 US). I've been hearing over and over that the grinder is the most important part of the whole process, but I haven't been willing to jump up to the $400-ish price point for something like a Eureka Mignon Silenzio....
Negative impacts of social media and mobile tech for society
Just because someone certifies that it wasn't tampered with and comes from who it says it does doesn't mean it is safe.
The fact that enough of us are a) thinking this b) that such a strange event has such reach, and c) involves Monero, leads me to believe that this is the true purpose of this event series.

I do ARGs and Nordic LARPs and generally know of everyone involved in organizing events of this nature and this is totally off my radar.
IME Windows SmartScreen still gives a scare-warning for software that's signed with a valid certificate, unless some magic "reputation-threshold" is reached and who-knows what factors into this.

The current code-signing-certificate model is pointless, regardless of price.

He's having them vote on the Green New Deal (sarcastic comment, but he really is).
This is only true in terms of climate change, and I doubt even that part. WW1 and WW2 fundamentally transformed our populations, our institutions, our countries, our economies, how all the above relate to each other, etc.
Buying options shouldn‘t be a concern at all as long as they are lossless - you simply convert them to the lossless format of your choice. There won‘t be any quality lost. Lossless to lossless is still lossless.

Your format of choice should be dictated by your mobile platform - if you use iOS device or simply like iTunes, go for ALAC. Any decent player will handle FLAC and ALAC, but Apple requires ALAC. If Apple isn‘t a concern for you, there‘s no reason to use anything but FLAC.

Personally, I use ALAC since I use iOS. So far there haven‘t been any downsides.
