At least with my provider (AT&T), it's the same with SIM cards. They associate the SIM with the phone, and you can't just swap the SIM into a new phone. Last time I did this, I had to actually go into the store in order to get a brand new SIM paired to my account and the new phone, and the old one was permanently de-activated and thrown in the trash.

I'm assuming it's a move to try and make life inconvenient for people who want to buy used phones instead of getting a new one through them.
Aside from using the term "waifu" instead of something like "wife" / "SO" / "girlfriend", the comment itself seems fine to me. I've heard stories of low computer literacy in Japan from other sources as well, it is quite interesting.
Fully half that list is movies from the 20th century, going back as far as 1920. I think it's a flawed list in many ways (especially the lack of non-English language films, missing masterpieces like Tarkovsky's Stalker), but it doesn't seem to be driven by mere popularity or advertisement.

Aha, thanks. Sounded to me like extra income... but I was clearly not paying full attention.
I've been in some open office situations where it was so loud that you couldn't even talk to each other about, ya know, work stuff. It was like living in a call center. Conference rooms were overbooked and the situation was simply untenable.

However, I'm currently in an office where they went to great lengths to absorb sound and space everyone out to create an area that at most times is actually quiet except for the few times we chat with each other.

So in this instance I don't mind it, I mostly chill on the nearby couch anyway. So I can see how some would love it, and others would hate it. It really does matter how the office is architected and the density of people.

The reason that this wasn't done is that we believed (and it still seems to be true) that you cannot make C or C++ be memory safe at compile time. Or rather, you cannot do it without introducing backwards incompatibility, which means you're effectively making a new language anyway, and something that's a non-starter for those languages. (as it should be, IMHO.)

It had nothing to do with "sexy" and everything to do with engineering goals. I assure you, a lot of work in Rust is dirty, political, and not sexy too :)

This is an OS problem, Rust won't save you there because you're going to use unsafe anyway, in Rust you would create wrappers for the unsafe part, they probably do the same in C/C++ for OS, you don't use unsafe / low level things for higher part of the OS.

Redox is an OS written in Rust and had kernel panic with bad arguments passed to a user space program so ... ( it was a community challenge from 2 years ago )

I think Rust has a good vision for security but it's clearly not bullet proof as people seem to think, especially not on the low level fields like OS.

The only reason you can get away with this sort of thing is because Americans have never had to experience these sorts of policies or any of the other things that they do to other people. If they had they would change their minds.

At the end all these policies are to steal resources, and have nothing to do with human rights.

Hi HN

I have built a fun product - claporslap. While upvoting on PH people unconsciously upvote the product with highest upvotes or because of a bias towards a makers. So some of the good products never see the light of the day.

ClapOrSlap shows you a recent random product without any upvotes or the name of the maker. It is an experiment to prove the above hypothesis.

So far, we have seen some popular products getting a significant number of slaps. I will release the stats soon .

Would be great if you could provide some feedback on it. Thanks !

Happy clapping or slapping

Yes, the first one found was Karatsuba multiplication. It's based on splitting the number in about half and doing smaller multiplications.

It is quite interesting to learn, the algorithm is both easy to understand and surprising in result (though less surprising if you know FFT or this result).

Tim Pychyl, one of the quoted researchers, is fantastic. If you want to hear more from him, this is a great article by him (I was the editor for it):
https://medium.com/s/the-complete-guide-to-beating-procrasti...
What I don't understand is the part about the supralinear/sublinear particularity of the dendrite. First, the article explains that: " If enough inputs are activated in the same small bit of dendrite then the sum of those simultaneous inputs will be bigger than the sum of each input acting alone (...) A bit of dendrite is “supralinear”: within a dendrite, 2+2=6." Further in the article, I find this explanation: "Because dendrites are naturally not linear: in their normal state they actually sum up inputs to total less than the individual values. They are sub-linear. For them 2+2 = 3.5". What makes the difference between a bit of dendrite spiting a sublinear vs. supralinear "result"? I feel that the difference lays in the 'if enough inputs are activated' vs. 'in their normal state'. If that's the case, what's the "normal state"? Could anybody help me understand this part?
Getting a satellite into space is ~50,000$ for a 1U cube sat when I looked around. You might be able to get NASA or somebody to send it up for free if it's educational and they have room.

I don't think there's any lack of calm, balanced, quality journalism. Rather, there's a lot of politicized rejection of calm, balanced, quality news. You don't have to look too far to find people who think AP (much less BBC or Al Jazeera) is part of some conspiracy or another.

> I was measuring by number of projects.

I think even going by that metric C++ does pretty good.

Not exactly "number of projects", but here are some numbers:

C++: 5th place
C: 9th place

StackOverflow survey: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2018/
C++: 10th place
C: 11th place

That just shows that C is a wild success, too ;)
To me, it's quite clear: the target language would have forked from its base, creating of necessity an incompatible ecosystem (no one wants an improvement after which you still can still make the same old mistakes, and some mistakes are emedded in the C/C++ syntax), and we'd end up with something slightly worse than Rust, using somewhat more familiar tools.
My company has ranges of pay for different locations for the same position. I guess it takes cost of living into account.

I hate open offices, and took it as a given that most others do too. But in my last office, they held a poll (anonymous, but kinda in-person, we all voted electronically while in an all-hands meeting) in an office that is mostly (but not solely engineers)...and it came back slightly IN FAVOR of open offices.

I was stunned, but asking around there were enough people that didn't seem to have a problem with the distractions to explain it, so I think it was actually representative.
A RT for news isn't going to fix the broken medium that is online journalism. Basic research, fact checking, editing/proofreading, journalistic integrity -- all things we take for granted with the news have been discarded in favor of more and more clicks/profits.

If anything, we need a new model for how news is manufactured/distributed in the age of the Internet.

I'm not sure why a programmer who is making something for others would even say 'I don't care'. Someone wrote a post saying that python was slow and they don't care.

Users do care. They care if something is fast, they care if it bloated and takes forever to load, or if it crashes or if it is insecure.

WCAG has historically focused mostly on accessibility for people with physically-manifesting needs (blindness, deafness), but has recently begun working on addressing usability for neurodiverse populations (dyslexia, ADHD, autism).

IMO, this is long overdue, especially considering how large these populations are. Things to consider here relate to text presentation and overall site layout. Think about text sizing/contrast, line spacing, column width, and paragraph height, for example. And consider how each of these things changes when the user is on mobile (paragraphs are now much taller, creating the "wall of text" that many people dread).
It is believed that 50 years ago depression was less researched and therefore less diagnosed/recognised.

You'll either need a mesh network (higher latency) or you'll need a backbone (which is an ISP) so you'll still run into similar issues.

That said I do hate my ISP (and most others) with a burning passion so...

I find the precision sort of comforting. One danger of the growth of state-actor malware is that a lot of us could be collateral damage caught in the crossfire. This sort of precise targeting seems at least reasonably responsible. Stuxnet also had careful target selection.

Only for newbie values of "performant". I work on data-storage servers. It has been quite a few years since I've worked on one that didn't absolutely need to take advantage of multiple cores to get competitive performance, and I'm very far from being alone in this need. Splitting one server into many separate processes is not a solution in these cases, as it just moves complexity from the in-process domain to the between-process domain where it's even harder to maintain good performance (or even validate correctness). As soon as I read "concurrency is generally a bad thing" the author lost all credibility.
Your argument is solely based on the rather odd semantics you ascribe to the term "computer". In common contemporary parlance, hardly anyone would call an abacus or a waterfall a 'computer' just because you can use such things. Conversely, I think you would not cease to call a desktop PC a computer if it is solely used for playing games and never used for 'making computations'.

When people call a thing a 'computer' they mean that it can run (potentially complex) algorithms to produce outputs based on inputs, in many cases it would also be assumed that it has memory, and it would not have much in the way of direct physical interactions with the world (although it might be part of systems that have such interactions). Based on these notions, it seems very valid to interpret brains as some kind of computer, made out of cells instead of metal and silicon, and formed by evolutionary pressure instead of human engineering.
Chris Voss' book "Never Split the Difference" goes into this.

He posits that bad deals come from people being strict about artificial deadlines... and it's better to have no deal than a rushed deal. Try it next time someone tells you there's a hard deadline... just tell them you'll deliver when it's done.

Okay, but this seems like letting the perfect get in the way of the good? A maintained, readable, informal spec should be quite useful as a starting point for writing a more formal spec later.

It need not be definitive. It would be quite reasonable to point out areas that aren't nailed down yet - this is also useful for the reader.
I wonder if IP is really the right decision. AX25 isn't the bottleneck with existing packet radio, and because it's made for hams, it makes it easy to be sure that you're really within your license requirements. ie: identification. It's also difficult to accidentally send encrypted messages over AX25, whereas on IP you have to really watch Wireshark and make sure you're not doing something wrong. It's also not as chatty, which is a real concern when you have a mesh network and someone is hearing you better than you're hearing them --- it could get really messy without coordination. That being said, this is a very exciting project. I'd love to see packet radio make some progress since the 80s (outside of just repurposing 802.11 gear).

We need the ARRL to stop wasting their time on a watered down HOA bill that they've been working on for like a decade, and start talking to the FCC about modernizing regulations for the 21st century. Two things that come to mind are that the spread spectrum/transmit bandwith restrictions are outdated, and encryption requirements need to be formally relaxed so that common digital communication like SSH or HTTPS can be supported to an extent -- I'm not saying I want the ham bands filled with encrypted traffic, but I'm fine with the small community of packet radio enthusiasts being able to remote into a computer from afar.
Good to know. Thanks for the explanation and all the insights!
I had the same reaction when watching blind YouTubers show how they use VoiceOver. It was so fast I couldn't understand or follow along.

A good takeaway was feeling their frustration with improperly labeled items. You want to order keywords first, for instance "March 25, created on" instead of "Created on March 25", because they have to wait through "Created on:" dozens of times, when they already know the label context.

Good points on the other accessibility areas.

Well you could see the hipocrisiy it in the cuba-missile crisis. All of europe was expected live under direct missile thread- and the same was to be expected for the russians (missiles in turkey) - but as soon as the very same standards apply to gods chosen country, it was considered worth starting world war 3 to stop that.

Ask HN: Is it a good idea to find Sales partner for developer to get customers?
I'm Full-Stack Web/Mobile engineer who wants to do a freelance job and grow into the company in future.

The problem is - where to get customers? The obvious solution which comes to my mind is to find them on freelance websites. But the downsides of that approach is the quality of projects and high competition.

A better option I think is to collaborate with a Sales person who has connection to customers, so he could bring me them in exchange to some percent from the money that customer will pay me for the job.

Is it a good decision/common practice? Any tips/advices on finding such people?
Nice, thanks (to you and the sibling comment, who got there at the same time)
While that's true for the possibility of conflict of interests, do you have any proof/data showing they've actually flexed that conflict for their own gain? Undermining the trust in the authority of the aggregate values is a huge issue I'm sure they'd much rather avoid as much as possible in order to extract as much value out of the platform as possible.

I know a bunch of folks recently complained that they were trying to manipulate the scores for Captain Marvel, but that was also under a huge organized attack to torpedo the audience scores even before it was released for viewing. So they had a legitimate reason to go in and try to "fix" the scores. Whether the new values is "accurate" is of course up to debate (for philosophical values of "accurate") but most of the criticisms I've seen have had reasonable explanations behind them.
"But don't we judge our characters and other's by how we manage despite that ?"

Some people do judge, but maybe they shouldn't be so judgmental, as it's not clear how much control people have over their own behavior, and without such control one can't be blameworthy.
I can guarantee that OP is infact a native speaker. English however might not be OP's native language.

When comparing programming languages / tech stacks, I am also more interested in the full picture (libraries, complexity, performance) than just differences in syntactic sugar. I use https://github.com/gengstrand/clojure-news-feed as a test bed for such evaluations. There, you will find almost feature identical microservices in clojure using ring with the jetty adaptor and python 3 on flask.

The clojure service was in 13 files with a total of 710 Lines of Code. The python service was in 33 files with a total of 1561 LoC.

I also have published load test results of these microservices at http://glennengstrand.info/software/performance/eks/gke where you will find the per minute average throughput for these two microservices to be about the same but the clojure version was about twice as slow as the python version.
