And you can cut the fat out of your caffeine consumption too, both in time and money. I take caffeine pills now over coffee (mostly to combat coffee breath and the guaranteed poop 20 minutes after drinking). 200mg, equal to a grande I figure, 5 cents a pill, and maybe 20 seconds to plop one into my hand then my mouth.

The speed and price is a boon for me, but also how compact the dose becomes. I can take it anywhere whenever I need it with just my palm; no need to plan for a coffee break. If coworkers are going out after work, I'll take one at 5, then stick a couple in my back pocket to keep the night fueled 4 hours at a time. When I wake up early for a morning run, I'll take one and hit snooze and fall back asleep, then by the time the alarm finishes snoozing I awake already caffeinated and eager to run at the crack of dawn. In college I would take one in the middle of lecture if I started to nod off. Really changed my life.
I assume that one difference is that a facility for LiIon batteries costs more than just LiIon battery cells; and the land, the transformers, the site security, and general maintenance of all the above are non-trivial compared to cell costs?

>But I felt the same way when Yegge announced his job at Grab --- just, "why am I reading this?"

Because many others on HN liked the story and upvoted it, it's not all about some individual's preferences.

"Intellectual curiosity" aside, it's also not all about discussing algorithms, startup strategies, and the nth JS framework this year. It's not like we don't get enough variety or that it's all "new job" posts...

The thing is once you do a number things in the open in geek-land, you become a short of mini celebrity in some circles. And people are interested to learn news about your career and progress -- e.g. of people like Steve, Katz, Abramov, Dahl, and so on.

Those sorts of posts also let people know how other people think about their career, the sort of process involved when interviewed/or asked to work with companies like Google, Cloudflare, etc (which someone reading HN and starting out with the whole programming thing from say Poland or Australia would not have the chance to know first-hand), and often what to expect from the person taking the job (e.g. I'll be working on X as part of my new job, and contribute back to the Open Source X).
Change your netflix app language to your target language and you magically get more subtitle options, if available. In US Netflix, when I set my language to english, I see english, spanish, and maybe french or italian for some shows. When I set my language to Korean, I see English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (trad and simplified) when they are available for that show.

Why they base it on your display language and don't just have a setting that is "show me X, Y, and Z language subtitles if available", I don't know.
Kind of, yes. But asymptotically so. In the sense that, the high priests of the AI koans drop off to negative infinity, with zero crossing having occurred in the 1990's, and from there, positive infinity came crashing in, and the vanishingly small number of digital immigrants persists above zero, and never goes away completely.

So the nigerian princes, and the chain letters will always be there, and fantastically stupid people will always exist, but selective pressure will lop off enough of their heads over time, that fewer and fewer unfit specimens will manage to reproduce.

This doesn't account for captive cattle, though. And for livestock, we know the rules are fundamentally different. Natural laws do not apply.

Verizon is a good example of a feedlot, replete with antibiotics, and horomones for growth and lactation, but no genetic engineering (yet). Fiber optics and anti-net-neutral-deep-packet-inspected video and quad-copter-drone-enforced DRM is like the graduation from bolt gun slaughter to anal electrocution. The slaughter house advances its automation, but by the time we're ready to genetically engineer the cattle, the meat will be grown in vitro and assembled into hamburger patties by pipettes.

So, pretty soon, I expect to have a Verizon subscription to a big mac vending machine in my living room, and I'll never leave my house. I'll earn my living breaking captchas in order to mine block chain credits that prove I watched advertisements for cars so expensive I can't even steal them, and for that, I can scrape together enough proof of work to authenticate half a big mac a day, with no special sauce. Which is fine, because I never need enough caloric energy to get off the couch. Just enough to flip over to avoid bed sores. Sounds fair to me.

Agree! I've accidentally found this gem. It is really written from the actual hands-on engineering/programming perspective which covers all aspects, from the front-end to the actual storage implementation.
The reason is simple. Whenever I type in a movie I want to see in Netflix search, it's available on DVD but not on streaming.
Not sure if this is related to errors loading resources, but all the "Source code and live demo" links go to pages that seem to render the demo in javascript but don't show any code. Maybe the reader is intended to view source to see it?
"ICE agents are, in terms of entrapment, no different than ISIS agents would be in this case."

ICE agents have some degree of lawful authority legally vested in them at some level of American governance, so it stands to reason that individuals can make the claim they felt 'required by some law' to do as that agency apparently behoved of them.

Especially if ICE were making statements along the lines of 'you're legally required to do this or that', then there's an issue here.
How does a government agent ask you to break the law nicely? ICE could ask me anything as nicely as they want and I'd still feel compelled. They are in an immense position of power over Motel 6 here.
Netflix's DVD catalog is very, very deep. There are likely 6 digits of titles. A Redbox machine probably has under 1000 DVDs in it, so your selection is about 100x-1000x better with Netflix.
> Yes. Given how mass data leaks have shown just how bad people are at choosing passwords - I think it's a very safe assumption that a large proportion of Last Pass users have weak, easily guessable master passwords.

Indeed. Which is in part why we developed the Secret Key. Even if someone chooses a relatively weak Master Password and all of the data were stolen from our servers cracking even just a single password of a single user via brute force would be implausible. The effort to reward ratio is very high (perhaps insurmountably so) on the effort side.

Full disclosure: I work for 1Password.
Thanks for the heads up, but doing it across Windows/UWP, Android and iOS requires a bit more of effort than what you described, hence Skia.Sharp instead.
Fair. But to say something as bold as understanding someone's political motivations, and ideology based on how politicians behave doesn't seem like good faith effort to understand the other side.

Legitimate question, would it be viewed as "not extremist" if it came from another group such Libertarians, or SJWs?
It sure as hell matters if you're poor.
Good point, although I believe gold is usually found in its elemental form (although sometimes alloyed with other metals).

I didn't know that fact about U, thanks.
I'm curious as to which languages you do recommend. You don't see Smalltalk being used a whole lot in devops.

Actually, class-based handling of raw data can be done very nicely if you have multiple dispatch, which solves the so-called expression problem. Cf Julia.
Is it possible for states to make laws saying that cop-likes can't lie about things? And then for the state to sue the federal government if they violated that?

Because the truth is that requiring a warrant won't do the trick. If the cop-like says he doesn't need a warrant I'm going to listen to him. I should always comply in the moment or "we'll do things the hard way". Then afterwards maybe I can sue.

Welcome to city-living. If you want peace and quiet, move to the suburbs or the countryside. Spend some of the bajillions you'd save in housing on getting a solid ISP link out to your home, and help your new neighbors get wired up to the 'net while you're at it.
To be fair, it's not 1 million of anyone entering the country illegally every year.
I wouldn't say it's the bandwidth limit per se. A bigger problem is latency, cache misses have a bigger impact the faster clock speeds go.

Grace Hopper and her nanoseconds (30cm) of wire, doesn't sound so eccentric these days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper#Anecdotes

Sadly, the extra bandwidth will come in handy as software developers become evermore slack.

I do agree about parsing text (like json!). It seems crazy to stick to text formats/ protocols when binary would be much faster (it's easy to convert binary to text for debugging purposes, as that's what happens anyway!), we're still not fully utilising http2. (Don't quote me) but I remember hearing somewhere that -10% of computer resources are spent converting between base10 and base2. Have a read of DotNet's Span (reference structs), by not copying values everywhere (and the relieving subsequent GC pressure) it's improved tasks like parsing text by an order of magnitude (often more) - That's something the compiler will be able to do without the developer's effort.

ASCII is underappreciated.
I really hope this gets changed as this currently makes fixing small changes a massive, and wanting to release a feature at the same time on a website and extension means the chrome version must be done a week in advance. This is really killing productivity
Windows made of transparent wood could help keep buildings warm
Given how much malware the Chrome Web Store pushes, and how sensitive of data extensions have access to, actually taking the time to properly review updates is absolutely warranted.

Inflation's greatest impact is on those holding cash reserves or dollar-denominated assets: bank deposits, loans, mortgages, bonds (federal, state/local, corporate), insurance policies, annuities, cash-denominated contracts, and the like.

The cash-poor with few or no financial holdings or savings, are largely unaffected, as are those holding non-cash assets (real property, capital, commodities, stocks).
She’s the victim, not the culprit in the distribution of that photo.
Yup. Capital cost, operation and maintenance, and charging costs are all added up, financed over the operating period, and turned into a cost to meet an investment IRR of 12%. The table in page 11 of the pdf I linked above breaks it all down.
So assuming you don't even trust the OS. How can you be sure you aren't running in a virtual machine or something.

You have to trust the OS to set everything up, do IO etc. I don't see how its tenable to not trust the OS.
Yes. However 825,000 Canadians weren't murdered.

Do you a plausible explanation for the stat that goes against the point being made that Canada is meaningfully decreasing poverty? Otherwise, that seems like a pretty useful stat.
Most people can't do nearly so much about the big fixed costs vs. small daily indulgences.

Only as a data point for comparison, here in Italy (due to a Law originally established in the '70's for counter-terrorism purposes) when you check in (in a hotel, B&B and similar[0]) you need a valid document and you are registered (name, surname, date and place of birth, current address and type and number of document) and this info is sent (nowadays electronically) to the Police within 24 hours.

[0] a recent extension to the Law now requires the same also for the "short rentals" which then include also all AirBnb and similar
I appreciate criticism like that, because it's helpful and valid. I happen to be aware of this and I do use Conduit often, but it certainly bears talking about. Haskell isn't a panacea, but I absolutely do not believe that all technologies are ultimately equivalent.
Very nice, how did you decide on your simulation? did you build a generic simulation engine you can reuse, or is your simulation tightly coupled to the objects you are simulating? It's fun seeing this, I have been recently thinking of a simulation game and wondering if to use a generic simulation library such as SimPy
As long as you don't monetize your videos, I don't think anyone cares about your footballer compilation video. I still watch a lot of highlights/compilations (tennis, not football) to this day.

I agree with the statement that the golden era of YouTube is over, but before Google bought it out there was virtually no way to make money off of it, except through abusive networks. I could be wrong, but most companies don't bother striking videos that aren't monetized.
I subscribe to it because I feel that my Linux ISO collecting thus becomes more substantial. What a great source man. Physical over WEBRIP any day!
Not sure, I've watched several lectures and I've got an impression that they are too theoretic. As I remember they even don't implement the database system, but some very specific part in some existing system.

So who from the federal government is charged for their part of the crime?
I feel like saying in a decade also attempts to lay a bunch of things at the current administrations feet by implying it's worse than anything that happened during the previous adminstration.

For the record, my honest opinion is that both of these (and other, yet, previous) administrations share fault.

This sort of headline writing is for cowards and weasels.
Way less likely when you're a young person to be so serious that you can't work. And you have universal healthcare & disability in Canada.
I just want to say that this is one of the better descriptions I've read of the relationship of the Catholic Church with science & scientific thought. I don't necessarily believe that Catholicism is perfectly compatible with a scientific worldview, but in practice many Catholics (and other Christians) seem able manage these tensions thoughtfully and contribute to our scientific understanding of the world.
While this might be highly burdensome for developers, I much prefer the world where Google reviews even single-line changes to extensions.
Is anyone working on flight controllers in Rust? Now that the STM targets are maturing it seems like a perfect target. I can only find stub projects and blog posts right now.

Blockbuster wasn't good at video rental. They were the big, inefficient bully, and the last choice of anyone with any sense.

The selection was tiny compared to the independents they mostly priced out of existence, then became the most expensive place to rent once that was done. They had major films sooner for about as much as going to the cinema. That's it. Their only selling point. They got shot of old stuff far too soon so you could never actually find old stuff in Blockbuster unless it was 2001 or Wizard of Oz.

The corner shop near us that rented, and next door but 2 to Blockbuster, kept going years after Blockbuster closed. Having experienced Blockbuster in 3 or 4 places I've lived, I gave a little cheer when they went.
Thanks for the pointer; didn't realize he had posted part 1 separately already. I have now posted links in the comments of that HN thread.
For what it's worth, you shouldn't have to end statements with 'sorry'. I this kind of context it typically implies that you're making the statement with the intent to belittle someone.
Coffee (caffeine) is a stimulant. It's helpful for a lot of things that are routinely treated with stimulants.

In my case, that generally means respiratory issues and allergies.

People who drink a lot of coffee are probably self-medicating for something or other, possibly without realizing it. My coffee consumption always goes up when I'm exposed to more allergens. When it goes down, it's because I'm feeling better, not because I have self discipline.
I'm not a native speaker so could someone please explain to me if I misunderstand the word 'loophole'?
Translation says "a gap in the law". That should make it fairly easy to know if I use one or not . Than again: I'm REALLY bad with taxes.
Blu-Ray will almost always have better quality than streaming, mostly due to bitrate. It's shocking how much better a properly scanned transfer in 1080p on a bluray looks compared to a 4K stream. It's night and day.
Modern chips have over a hundred registers per logical core, but either 16 or 32 you can explicitly access.
Time is the significant cost. Everything you mentioned is trivial. Unpredictable returns is another important factor.

I've made profitable games previously.
Wrong on all three points.
You mean NVME. M.2 is just a form factor that can be SATA based. NVME is the protocol that replaces SATA and makes it fast.
That is very interesting to hear. I should probably take it for a spin, then. The mobile app doesn't seem too bad but the thought of using iTunes again is dreadful.

We don't have any streaming subscriptions. We would probably use Netflix DVDs by mail, but honestly we only watch maybe 1 (2 at the outside) movies a month, so it's just cheaper and more convenient to run to Redbox. We can be to Redbox and back in less than 5 minutes. And we usually have some sort of promo code so we usually spend about $1-2/month on movies.
That's specious reasoning.

If you mean, body language is the main or majority channel for communication, well, how much body lanuage matters to communication is contested and differs based on context anyway (see: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/beyond-words/201109/...).

If you mean, there is a loss of expressibility going from the spoken word to the written word. Is there? You would have to prove that that loss is as significant as the symbolic/representational destruction you are advocating. Much of the imperfect synonyms we have developed in english are used to signal tone and intent -- things that are usually signalled in body language. So, just because we are using the written word does not mean we cannot express those things. You have something in a larger space, you can represent it in a smaller space using longer and more complex series of glyphs.

> Yet here we are still conversing with text despite the technology to record and send each other video having been widely available for a decade or more.

Yes, for the very reason that it erases the extra data. you not being able to see me means that you have to go on my words alone, rather than making extra-contextual judgements about me as a whole based on my physical appearance. That seems only to cement my point, though.
Ethiopian Carrier Rethinks 737 Max Purchase, Citing 'Stigma

(Part 1 posted yesterday; thanks HN.)
Having used SGIs in the 1990s they didn't have any power at all until you spent many many many thousands of dollars.

The ones that were impressive were the ones that might have been $20k+.

At the time the Voodoo came out the run of the mill SGI workstations did not come with any of the advanced 3D graphics capabilites. Certainly nothing that blew you away. They did stuff like wireframe or unshaded 3D CAD and stuff like that, they had working OpenGL well before a PC did.

But the stuff that blew you away was stuff like the Onyx. Those blew me away when I saw them in the mid 1990s when SGI came to recruit where I went to school. They were $100k+ a year or two before the Voodoo came out.

There were other things they did that was way ahead of their time. I had an Indy for my workstation in 1996 at an internship. It had a webcam that could shoot stills or videos and do some basic video chat. In 1996. People used to fill up the hard drives with video cause hard drives were still so small. Irix had a really nice X Windows UI in the mid 1990s when Linux and the other commercial Unix variants had terrible UIs.

Yes I realize SFTP is not FTP. But I also realize that no one in their right mind is going to deliver data over something as insecure as FTP in 2019.

We weren’t allowed to use regular old FTP in the early 2000s when I was working for a bill processor. We definitely couldn’t use one now and be compliant with anything.

I was trying to give you the benefit of a doubt.

Amateur mistake that proves you have no experience running any this.

If it doesn’t give you a clue the 74 in my name is the year I was born. I’ve been around for awhile. My first internet enabled app was over the gopher protocol.

How else do you think I got shareware from the info-Mac archives over a 7 bit line using the Kermit protocol if not via ftp? Is that proof enough for you or do I need to start droning on about how to optimize 65C02 assembly language programs by trying to store as much data in the first page of memory because reading from the first page took two clock cycles on 8 bit Apple //e machines instead of 3?

We don’t “share” large files. We share a bunch of Office docs and PDF’s as do most companies.

Yes, you do have to run DNS, Active Directory + VPN. You said you couldn’t do it without running “servers”.

No we don’t have servers called

SFTP-01

ADFS-01

Etc.

either on prem or in the cloud.

Even most companies that I’ve worked for that don’t use a cloud provider have their servers at a colo.

We would still be using shares hosted somewhere not on prem. How is that different from using one of AWS storage gateway products.
