Nobody is “omitting” anything. Not all discussions of X must focus on all aspects of X. Sometimes it’s useful to just study a subset of attributes of X, and that’s perfectly valid.

Separately to your second point, I think you’re just badly mistaken. Firstly, meritocracy would mean someone receives financial compensation directly proportional to their productivity. I don’t know any software developers for whom this is remotely true. Often developers are paid a tiny fraction of the revenue they generate, nothing remotely approaching a fair fraction from a meritocratic point of view.

Secondly, there are many skilled software developers who cannot find work and cannot find competitive wages. Some end up unemployed from chronic burnout or the toll that dysfunctional open plan work environments take, some have family circumstances requiring them to live in places where the job markets are poor, some are unemployed after being fired for ageist cost cutting, and some work for successful companies but are deeply exploited, earning a fraction of what the person in the next cubicle is earning, despite being equally productive.

It’s really harmful to propagate this stereotype that just because a person had training or skill in software engineering, they have a simple path to a middle class life. Absolutely not true.
Yes actually I do think they're ridiculous for physical things too. I take a pretty libertarian lean on most things.
Study history, and realize that the world used to be so. much. worse.
Meat is easy on teeth, what traditionally wore down teeth in human history were rough unprocessed grains, tough vegetable fibers, nuts, and the use of teeth as tools (working plant fibers for example). Of course the inclusion of sand or grit in food also contributed. People also chewed a lot of bone in history, either whole or as with Aboriginal Australians, as a mash of whole animals.

Because it turns out that where this happened, New Zealand, has much laxer gun laws re: semi-automatic rifles, then where the shooter was from - Australia.

Quite directly, this person went somewhere where it would be easier to acquire the guns he used in the attack.

Unlike America, New Zealand is probably going to implement Australian style laws after this.
You handwave, but:

1) That probably is a valid defense in some countries

2) It is completely reasonable to ask for an articulate link between a crime and some sort of victim, otherwise the crime shouldn't exist. "It is obvious" is only for crimes with a very obvious victim.

For child pornography, I assume the link is because people might be selling it for cash which is harder to trace and collecting it might be supporting a community through, say, ad revenue. Because while it is sick, I don't see how curating a private, personal collection could feasibly cause harm to anyone and hence it seems like a waste of money to prosecute without some sort of connection to how it is profiting CP providers.

I've thought that the countries that criminalise cartoon depictions of child porn have gone too far. It may be obscene, but possession shouldn't be a crime. Literally nobody could be suffering from it.
This is almost exactly what I did while learning to use Vim over the last month.

I ended up having 7x sticky notes around my monitor with around 80 commands and motions written down after the first week.

Now 1 month later, I don't use them and have about 80% of the most used things memorized. It's not 100% brain dead automatic yet, but most come to me in a few seconds.

Current vimrc[0] is sitting at about 40 plugins and every single one of them came from a direct need.

Microsoft's proprietary emulator for Xbox 360 provides access to 551 out of 2100 released games on the Xbox One. One of the main reasons I bought one (pretty amazing I can LAN party Halo Reach between my 360/One X).

I can't see any reason they wouldn't keep improving the emulator and bringing it to their next consoles (which are very likely to be AMD machines and thus have near native backwards compatibility with Xbox One).
Yeah, it's kind of funny. The extreme social cohesion itself forms a sort of dictatorship. Although it's a distributed dictatorship. Every one of your peers is a dictator.
Is a brighter screen what we want though? E-ink type screens are excellent in the sun, but lack gorgeous colors... And I'm almost ok with it.
Ask HN: Tips on Migrating from Heroku to AWS?
I highly value the ease of deployment and monitoring found on Heroku and wonder what the modern way to setup something similar is on AWS? I know of Kubernetes and the CloudFoundary stack, but I feel like there must be some out of the box AMI's that I just dont know about.

I have a Rails hobby project that is costing me ~$200+/- a month because its on the heroku ecosystem. The app is not too wild, but occasionally takes some batch processes which force me to make some spin up higher quality services (increase Redis memory, increase processing power/"worker" count, etc).

Can anyone point me in a direction worth exploring?
If that is the case why so they make it look so spammy?
1.) Which countries?

2.) Your opinion is at odds with the laws of virtually every country on Earth. Countries that can’t agree on things as simple as diet, or whether gay people should be allowed to live still manage to agree on this.
The military, police force and security companies are 99.9999% consumer of legal guns.

int[] UserIDs; If you had a choice of knowing the variable was an int[] or knowing it’s name was UserIDs the latter would be much more useful.

This is why new languages are trending towards inferred types. Much easier to write and read (you get your padding taken care of for free as well when you use var)

Also ‘what’ is happening is the actual flow and logic of the code. ‘Why’ it is happening is in your comments.
Pretty amazing (since it confirms my own ideas ;) do you have name or books to read about it ?
I'm a huge fan of the WebTorrent protocol too, and think it has potential to completely transform the content distribution paradigm on the web.

However, the JS implementation leaves much to be desired. It's a huge resource hog compared to native libraries like libtorrent and torrents often freeze for no apparent reason on faster connections. Development seems to have also stalled quite a bit in recent times.

At this point I'd be more confident betting on something like IPFS in the long term.
737 MAX 8 still airborne over US
Aberdonian here. Not sure about the A92, but the A90 between Aberdeen and Dundee does carry enough traffic to warrant a motorway, and really needs to lose the unsafe junctions, tractors and cyclists. The state of the dual carriageway has been atrocious for 10+ years (at times dangerously so).

Also, the A96 between Aberdeen and Inverness is still not even dualled, something that has been slated for decades, and will likely come as no surprise to you.

Something that perhaps will come as a surprise is that Aberdeen now has a bypass. The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) was finally opened recently - although after something like a decade and incredible costs.
Excerpt: "South Street Seaport and the Financial District, along the eastern edge of Lower Manhattan, sit so close to sea level — just eight feet above the waterline — and are so crowded with utilities, sewers, and subway lines that we can’t build flood protection on the land. So we’ll have to build more land itself.
Over the coming years, we will push out the Lower Manhattan coastline as much as 500 feet, or up to two city blocks, into the East River, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Battery. The new land will be higher than the current coast, protecting the neighborhoods from future storms and the higher tides that will threaten its survival in the decades to come.
When we complete the coastal extension, which could cost $10 billion, Lower Manhattan will be secure from rising seas through 2100.
We’re going to build it, because we have no choice."
No he's saying that AWS sucks at updating their status page.
You think you understand, but until you really see something or someone go from living and breath to abruptly dead, you don't.

As for the 16 year old, it wasn't long ago that by 16 you'd have seen a few of your siblings and friends succumbed to illness or accident.

Death used to be part of life and we dealt with it.
Here's a link to the NTSB report that appears to be the source for this article:

There's more information in the original report, including the type of aircraft.
Message passing is much more general than method call. If you look at Erlang/Elixir (making the assumption that Erlang processes are akin to objects): messages can be sent to any process running on any node on the network, the answer (if required) can come from a third process, messages can be stored for future processing. And since processes may be created or die dynamically, and messages sent over the network may timeout, there are built-in tools to handle all the failure modes.

Method calls in C++ or Java are rather primitive, in comparison. Though of course you can build/emulate all of that on top of either. After all, the Erlang VM (BEAM) is written in C...
Why does me seeing a murderous rampage equate with me somehow having the ability to affect such events? Like I'm somehow indifferent to this until I see it and now I'm imbued with the will and ability to make it stop? How does me seeing this give me the ability to make it stop? I think this is terroristic and shouldn't be given a platform because that is exactly what this sick piece of shit wants.
That's unbelievable. Romania's GDP per capita PPP is 25k$, same as Greece and turkey. How Is Romania so undeveloped?

Some of the things about railways and road connectivity are even better in poor country like India
I can tell you what I’ve done:

* chewing hard gum, falim/mastic, for jaw muscle development

* exerting pressure on the back of my hard palate with the tip of my tongue

* focusing on adjusting my breathing and swallowing patterns to press on the palate rather than elsewhere
>their next of kin have the standing.

That's not what standing means[1]. At least in the US, if the video was recorded legally[2], there's nothing you can really to do prevent publication of it. The laws are stricter if you're using it for commercial purposes, but it's not the case here.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_(law)

[2] You could argue that the shooting was illegal, so therefore the recording was also illegal, but that's a stretch.
Surprised no one talked about their acquisition by Corel on here. I am really curious as to how much they got bought out for.
You mean indirectly paying because of the costs of pollution, that society pays for?

But garbage disposal already costs money, doesn't it? Maybe it doesn't cost enough - but then rising prices for garbage disposal would at least have similar effect to mandating multi use packaging, without the market distortion?

The difference is that garbage disposal is the price for the actual damage that needs to be avoided. Multi use packaging is just an idea for avoiding it, without proof of overall effectiveness.
The credit card thieves set up icloud accounts using the stolen card numbers. They make purchases of their own fake apps. The real credit card owner doesn't report the fraud to Apple App Store, but to Visa. Visa issues a chargeback.

Apple iCloud fraud team doesn't communicate sufficiently or at all with Apple App Store fraud team, because the losses are seen as chump change or due to organizational friction. App gains traction in App Store due to high revenues and low complaints.

Eventually someone not-tech-savvy will download it and complain. Then, maybe, it will get taken down. Or if someone writes a popular blog post about it.
not necessarily true. AirBnb created Lottie which drastically changed the way people can do cookie cutter animations in in apps. I'd argue that their business decisions are driven by tech. By improving their tech/apps they enable their business to succeed more than the others. Ubers app is also pretty complex, it's not just a simple queue of riders and drivers
You do understand that in your post-ww2 example, inflation was the result of a booming economy, not the cause of it? It's like noticing that most Lamborghini owners are wealthy, and then absurdly buying a Lamborghini expecting to somehow become rich.

The rest of your post, from the "shared prosperity" of the 1970s, to the idea that an infusion of cash would slow asset inflation, to using the pejorative "people like you" (twice) is both insulting and utterly nonsensical.
I’m not sure why you’re bringing the US into this when it’s about a crime that took place in NZ, and their requests for cooperation.
wow, thank you
Exactly ! I received Knoppix with some magazines I purchased in a kiosk near school, seems a century ago.
Honestly, because it has no relevance to me. I own a Huawei phone and a Lenovo laptop. I don't work any kind of government security related job and I run linux on my laptop so I don't see what I'm risking from the standpoint of a personal consumer and developer.
The video of the NZ attacks is not documentation. It is purposefully created propaganda by the terrorist himself. It’s not neutral. (Not that even something set up explicitly as merely documentation could ever be completely neutral itself, I’m just saying that this footage is extremely far removed from having any claim to neutrality.)

It does document the attacks, that much is true. And in that regard it is the same as footage of 9/11 – but beyond that there is a distinction here.

Don’t be confused by simplification. Do take into account context, intent and author.

(That said, I do think that you can question whether it was wise to play video of the planes flying into WTC basically on repeat during those days.)
that 737 costs 100,000,000

a plane crash kills a lot of people

I have a mix of things on Github: one might be positive, a few are ok, but most are crap. However I almost never ask important questions on SO. It’s almost all from languages/frameworks I’m playing around with, and I’m usually stuck on things I’d find elementary once I’m actually fluent. Actual work problems have too much context to make them things I can ask ok SO. So giving a thumbs up to a really good SO profile might make sense, but I couldn’t endorse caring if a candidate’s profile was unimpressive.
I'm curious, on what sites/services did you find the video so prevalent it was hard to avoid?
This is what I have on my MacBook Pro now, since the millisecond I took it out of the box. It's just not as pleasurable to type on, especially comparing to say, a Thinkpad keyboard. I was thinking how much peace of mind I would have using a bare Thinkpad P52 keyboard with a spare in the closet and knowing I can just go to Lenovo's parts site and order up a new one for a reasonable cost.
Newer versions of Nano actually do save the file on CTRL+S.
Why do you think this methodology support their conclusion that meritocracy doesn’t exist?
You forgot to include W (hard work) into the equation.

This is important, if you consider that the goal of a meritocracy could be that it drives more output.

> American dream-like meritocracy says it is almost all S.

And W. Yes, people want us to believe that hard work brings us success, for obvious reasons.

Why do you need to know "what's going on"? I've gone off grid for a month, and come back and realized that all the news I wasn't reading didn't affect me at all!

If you really need to "know", I suggest putting a reminder on your calendar to check Wikipedia current events [0] page once a week. And make a rule to not check it at any other time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
Read somewhere a few days ago that Southwest, operator of maybe the most 737's in the world, didn't like the MCAS on the MAX and that extra "package" was essentially customizations/modifications created specifically to make them happy.
A friend of mine who loves thinkpads bought two of those T25 anniversary models (2017). Sadly the only thing that was ThinkPad about that model is the keyboard. The CPU was a meh i5-7200. The motherboard was stupidly designed and the power switch had to come up through a hole in the keyboard. That's not how T4x/T6x series thinkpads work. Also there was no thinklight. Overall what they did was bring back the keyboard and then quit.
Huh? Spain definitely does not have orders of magnitude more motorways. It has only slightly more than Germany and France, and a little less than 4X more than the UK. A lot of this is explainable by differences in size; Spain also has over double the land area of the UK.

And keep in mind that "motorway" is specifically referring to what we would call interstate highway spec in the US. There's plenty of high quality roads that don't meet this spec that nevertheless would get you where you need to go quickly. In the US we have state routes and similar, and the UK has their own thing.
Disable their client side validations and find out if they bothered with server side validations...
Perhaps there is some inconsistencies between pilot training, work ethics in staying up to date, reaction under extreme stress
It is not just different body. Try to fees on pure sugar+vitamins (exact correct amount of calories) - you will be hungry and disfunctional and possibly gaining weight.

Starving people loose weight. They also develop host of problems, both psychological and physical. And our bodies have mechanisms to force is to eat by instinct to avoid that. When those mechanisms fail, we loose weight while being too tired to work, by gaining weight the first day after diet, by being dumb etc.

But beyond that, sugar is not same as same amount of calories from protein.
This seems like a horrible way to do both of those things... very easy to track, and you don't think Apple/investigators will notice if a lot of stolen cards are buying the same app?

FWIW this article specifically is mainly for common traps (e.g. spamming arrow keys) in vanilla vim.
As a systems software researcher, I concur. I like Unix and I’m very greatful for its impact on computing, but Unix and its derivatives are not the final answers of systems software design. I feel that much of the software engineering and computer science world (even among OS researchers) is unfamiliar with non-Unix designs other than Windows. We can learn a lot from historical non-Unix operating systems such as the Genera OS for Symbolics LISP machines and the Oberon operating system.
a ridiculous and sometimes hilarious poke at all things computers is "The Binary Bible of Saint Silicon" .. from long ago, when computers were fewer.. it makes fun of Catholicism and similar too, so be warned..
> After a few years, your VIM will become extremely customized. You'll actually have trouble writing code on any other IDE.

This would actually be a significant detriment to many Vim and vi users who do system administration, because they can't rely on any customization when the drop into a terminal on a random server.

The one thing I really wish the browsers would adopt is a reliable vi/emacs toggle for text entry windows. Vimium, vimperator, etc, they're never reliably available, always at the mercy of the upstream browser.

Can you provide some evidence that “CPUs are not even 50% faster in the last 10 years?”
The whole god damn thing was his propaganda!

Why did he film it? why publish a rant? why write things on his guns?

to try to push his shitville excuse of a view. To embolden other shitists. Do sow fear and anger into the non-shit.
I opened this comment section just to see if there would be an alternative I could try on Linux. Going to look into figma when I home.
What do you mean? The entire thing is conjecture. We just don't know if there was even an issue. It's possible that the two accidents were uncorrelated. It's possible that the software worked perfectly but the pilots made wrong decisions. It's possible that the software worked perfectly but pilots panicked because they were unaware of what was happening. It's possible the software was at fault .. and on and on ...

He also claimed that there was a sensor problem. Are we sure about that? I have a hard time believing that a critical system would rely on one sensor to function properly. These things are built like space shuttles - with multiple redundancies and a fail-over strategy.

At the end of the day, we just don't know. Smart people are trying to figure it out, and we'll get to the bottom of it. Let's just wait a bit.

>Boeing sells an option package that includes an extra AoA vane, and an AoA disagree light, which lets pilots know that this problem was happening. Both 737MAXes that crashed were delivered without this option. No 737MAX with this option has ever crashed.

Jesus. What an atrocious statement.

Percentile cutoffs.

2nd - $24000

3rd - $46400

4th - $76500

5th - $127400

It’s not that hard to go from the 1st to the 2nd but that’s not exactly a livable wage for a household.

The third is also not hard for a household if you have two earners. But good luck with that $46K if you have children needing child care.

What most hear consider “middle class” and what is the statistical middle class $46K - $76.5K is completely different.
Point out the disrespect.

I think Stallman would applaud software that allows freedom from locked down hardware.
This kind of compromise is made all the time. In the past you needed 4 engines to cross oceans, now it is normal to just have two. It saves lots of money, and has been a massive success in terms of safety. The industry generally seems to get these compromises right when you look at the amazing safety record.
I don't get your point. Atmega328p arduino boards start at $2 or so ($4 for uno) and are currently at "apt-get install arduino" level of convenience that arm isn't getting anytime soon. Plus the whole point of microcontrollers is in working against specific chip, not universal API.
I really love this brand because it's just a troll brand but it became popular. Because 'oh look it's got funky asian writing on it' cool factor. It's just perfect. Every time I walk passed someone wearing that shit and read what the hell it says I crack up laughing.
Data structure can certainly be units of reuse. Widgets in a GUI toolkit for example.
I actually agree with that - it's an interesting exercise to communicate concisely within a limit. (Sort of like Vine, which Twitter destroyed, but oops there I go getting smart-assy again.)

It's just, if that's your game, stick to the game, don't cheat by sprawling across 14 of those. It fails as an instance of the Tweet artform because cumulatively it's too long, and it fails as a longer-form piece because it's all broken up.

If I strung together 1780 Vines to make Fellowship of the Ring (and yes, nerdily, the math works out there), what have I proven? My powers of conciseness and economy? My respect for rules and limits? My ability to choose the right tool for the job?
1) Well South Korea, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and a smattering of African countries by the look of it [0]. And the level of enforcement probably varies wildly by country.

2) I doubt you've actually read my opinion properly, it was that the link between crime and victim should be articulated on request. That is going to be a very popular opinion in the civilized world.
