Whether you see that or not, the market is not addressed, whether because of fear of doing something first or simply backward thinking mentality of lawyers and others in that mostly legacy industry.

I.e. instead of selling video DRM-free, they are losing sales to piracy which provides these DRM-free options already. Smarter execs would have started competing by providing legal DRM-free buying options. Whether it's recent blockbusters or old classics is irrelevant. The issue applies to both equally.

The reason GOG started with classics when addressing these execs, is to have easier time overcoming common stereotypes and fears. Not because DRM-free is only relevant for classics. What they discovered is that even with classics, the backwards thinking is too entrenched there.
Having been reading hacker news since 2009, I’m really tired of these unevidenced clickbait listicles on some persons anecdote.

There is no evidence presidented whatsoever in this article. It also seems that this person hasn’t worked with a numbered and diverse enough set of clients to even warrant listening to him as a practioner.

He’s peddling tired DDD tropes amongst a spattering of meandering well worn blog posty unsciencey ideas he’s read throughout the years.
Unlikely as there are no readily available replacement planes for airlines who need to replace their fleet. Airbus can only produce so many, the supply chains and production facilities just aren’t there. Even if Airbus somehow magically increased their production by 50%, Boeing would still sell 2000+ 737 MAX planes (or the previous generation 737 models)
I agree with everything. But the treatment of water in California and its safety is subjective. The amounts of salts in the tap water is very unhealthy in certain regions. Even though this water is deemed safe by local governments, I still wouldn’t drink it.
It‘s extremely simple. Several friends of mine have gone through the process and just had to do the language and society tests. Should not be an issue for someone who lived here for fifty years.
I updated my previous comment before you posted this.

The link between the Renaissance and moving type is quite uncontroversial. The impact of democratization of the press is hard to underestimate.
I'm all against tracking, but the whole post was framed as "epic launcher is doing [scary techno-sounding stuff]", when really it's "epic game launcher is using a webview".
Varies by state. State of Washington has laws protecting garbage. There is an expectation of privacy even once the trash is picked up, and can’t be searched without a warrant. Interestingly there are city laws regarding what you can throw away in your trash with regards to recycling/compost and my wife is eagerly waiting for these laws to be challenged in higher courts.
This is tangential, but what kind of education is sure to boost critical thinking, creativity and collaboration in their students? Is there a creativity path which pays off more than proficiency path?

> This one never ceases to amaze me. Any codebase is small, until it gets big.

do y'all work on the linux kernel or what ? most of the projects I've seen across multiple jobs are less than 5000 loc. And they never will "get bigger" because they are not "products" that get evolved over time.
Which is why it's hard for me to believe that someone could be spending less than one third that per day and eating well.
It's a common way to say "show up unannounced" in Indian English.
I could generalise it as anything with fast rise times. A 74lvc14 can kick out a 400ps edge even if you clock it at 1Hz for example. That's got quite some harmonic energy.

Also it's usually the really slow stuff I have that oscillates madly :(
That's just a matter of competition catching up though. From a consumer perspective multiple stores should have a positive effect. On the other hand streaming services are not benefiting the consumer directly.
> It doesn't slow down development

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but I’ve never once been slowed down by a compiler saying “It won’t work like that. Don’t waste your time”.
Generalizations are such fun; when you say, "The intellectual rigor just isn't there in any humanities classes because most of the students shouldn't be in college at all" I think you are conflating rigor with substance. Computer Science is easy but tedious if you're a Math major as I was. On the other hand, Native American literature was anything but easy because it required the clarity of a different world view as well as being able to write about it within the reality of the "inside-outside" nature where much of the literature originates. That understanding and the ability to write well is a rigor of its own.
To me, the time of day is four digits counting up.

IMHO these two are inextricably linked. Most people want to live in their own emotion-mediated reality. By not innately editing your own thoughts based on their emotional implications, you're able to arrive at more correct (but inconvenient) conclusions. But everyone else still has to take the slow road.

And yes, it's very hard to get doctors to break out of that mode when communicating. The vast majority of people they see need that mode, and it's very hard to directly convey that you are non-medical but still highly technical.
I love almost all the Xeno- games, but I think the first Xenoblade Chronicles is my favorite. You travel through a huge world one step at a time (no overworld map). Due the way the game was structured, I never used fast travel (I can't remember if it was even available). So at the end of the game, I had this amazing feeling of having actually taken every single step of the journey, a feeling no other RPG has given me.
You'll find that the more you work with types, the less this becomes an issue. You begin to think in types as a first class construct.

Types don't slow me down, and I can't imagine working without them.
I am not. CoffeeScript was never as popular as Typescript already is. TypeScript is a tool which solves a problem, CoffeScript is a language (IMHO) no one needed.
I agree. I think it's important that your test suite gives you something useful with every test, instead of writing a bunch of pointless extra tests just to get to 100% coverage because you read somewhere that that's good.

I feel like I ought to write more on this one of these days, but I have a few testing pet peeves, as far as tests you shouldn't write. Don't write tests that are a copy-paste of the code you're testing. Don't write tests to validate things that should be proven by your type system and lack of compile/parse errors. Beware of tests so tied to implementation details that they make your code harder to refactor. Don't write tests for things talking to external services - the only real test is that it correctly handles the actual service responses.
Spectacle (https://www.spectacleapp.com/) is also open source and it's tiny, but only works with keyboard.

Magnet (http://magnet.crowdcafe.com/) costs 1 USD, but it provides mouse control via snapping at the display edges and it's also tiny (6MB).
Its default keybindings does NOT clash with most apps. They are logical, hence memorable. They are easy to press too.

In fact I invented the same shortcuts and I was always changing the Spectacle defaults to them on every installation, which was tedious... With Magnet I don't have to fiddle at all.

I used xmonad on NixOS and I quite like it, but in any tiling wm on macOS I tried, I hit some issues within 5-10 minutes.

To be fair IntelliJ didn't work with xmonad out of the box either. I had to set some strange `startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"`

As strange as it sounds that's not really how it works.

It's a competitive industry. So, an insurance company's profit is based on total healthcare costs. The only way for the industry to make more money is to cover more people, or for healthcare costs to rise.

Put another way, if total healthcare spending was 0$, their total profits would be 0$. They can cut internal costs somewhat, but that's about it.
History suggests that people will forget this very quickly. I wouldn't be surprised to see Boeing 'rebrand' the plane as 737-8, but it probably won't be necessary.
I believe this might be more prominent among uneducated folks of (at least in my neck of the woods) non-mainline American Protestant denominations. At least the doctors of the Catholic Church will specifically talk about preparation for death, dying well (also mentioned by Fred Rogers in the documentary I saw about him), etc.
Another idea: find 256 different syllables and use that to encode 8-bit numbers. This way we also can avoid profanity (except for the rare case where a string of multiple harmless syllables expresses a profanity).
I've been using Prisma in for some months now (even in production), and I'm a big fan of the product. With TypeScript you have an easy full autocompletion & type checking over your models, and coupled with a graphql-yoga server & graphqlgen for the exposed GraphQL part it has been a pretty nice experience.

The downside is (because there is always some), as it's a new tech, problems can pop up and more research have to be made compared to a more old and popular framework.

In any case, I highly recommend you to try it on your own, I'm looking foward to its futur improvements.
Ask HN: Which LDAP server doesn't require a degree to run?
I have a bunch of services on my private servers that all support LDAP-based authentication, so I would like to deploy a suitable server for SSO. The only serious option seems to be OpenLDAP, which seems to consider itself a rather generic database that just happens to be used primarily for authentication. And even if I eventually get through the initial setup, that just gives me the directory service. I still would have to deploy something else to give the users a frontend for changing their password etc.

Can you recommend something simpler than that? Requirements:

- deployment on Linux server

- schema defines at least user accounts with passwords, and groups where users can be a member

- self-service web GUI for users: to review group membership and change passwords

- should not require a bazillion components (e.g. I ruled out Authelia after reading it wants an LDAP server and a Redis and a MongoDB)

This is not about an enterprise deployment with SLAs or anything. Just a dozen users and a handful of groups.

For what? Anyone can ask anyone for paperwork. People can just say no. It doesn't really sound like a police matter, does it? (Unless there's different laws in India, but it's common-law isn't it?)
Maybe not luxury, but I can correlate. Most of these things don't even have translations in my language, and I'm not even sure where to buy them, although I would gladly. It's probably the same situation as with neighbouring countries to mine, in landlocked Europe.
One of the things that I've learnt is that the world isn't clear-cut enough for YAGNI[1] all the time, and that it's usually worth building things slightly more generic/flexible than the original ask, because it's rare that the original requestor understood the problem enough first time round.

I figure we’re going to be reading articles similar to this about blockchain in a couple of years.
I used to run 2x 24" monitors in portrait mode (2400x1920) which was pretty nice.

I upgraded to 27" monitors, but portrait mode (2880x2560) involved too much head tilting so I ultimately went landscape (5120x1440), which was both too short vertically and too wide horizontally.

So I'm currently using a single 30" (2560 x 1600) in landscape mode. It's ok. There's simplicity in having a single monitor.

The next (and possibly final) upgrade will likely be to a ~32" 4K or 5K monitor. If I had a 2nd monitor, I'd probably just want it to mirror the first one at 3x zoom centered on the cursor - my eyes are losing resolution about as fast as monitors are gaining it.
I find it hard to believe that you continue using software that crashes "literally hundreds of times a day".
I'm not speaking of dvds specifically, but products in general including books, medicine, etc.

they still 'need' regions because they generally charge US customers more. more often then not, US has to pay cost + IP costs + margin, where as people in say India pay cost + margin.

I think this remains true for dvd/movies. Think about it, I heard the cost of a movie ticket for a hollywood movie is about 1$ in pakistan.

I'm in favor of getting rid of regions, and outlawing the practice of making mostly US consumers pay the bill for IP costs illegal, but until that happens they 'need' regions. how else are they going to charge people in china 2$ and people in the US 20$.
Your attempt to justify russophobia is distasteful.

All this nonsense like 'we don't like Russian state but love Russian people" doesn't fool anyone.
Like the Toyota unintended acceleration issue we need third parties to look at the flight control software and engineering decisions taken for the MAX line and give a an independent report.

Certainly not the FAA who delegated their oversight to Boeing.

He's fucking right.
Then why are they slowing production? Interesting how the article doesn't explain that.

> had a common link of a malfunctioning flight-control software called MCAS.

My understanding is the software was fine, it was faulty sensors with no redundancy and poor feedback displays to pilots.
How I learned about event-driven design in the late 90s
This is why I never purchased any digital media from Apple. Amazon has DRM-free mp3s, so I purchase a couple of my favorite songs from them each year, and I can load them onto my iPhone without much fuss. But I don't buy digital copies of movies, because it's a waste of money as things stand today.

But maybe I'm just not one of those so called "experiences over ownership" millennials.
It's almost not worth complaining about because of the ubiquitous of it, but I absolutely hate and make a point of never doing this if I'm interviewing someone:

1) Puzzle questions not related to the work they'd be doing. It's ok to have a somewhat puzzling geometry puzzle if they're doing, say, 3d work, but for a web dev? Etc. etc.

2) Coding on a white board. Can't you just setup a laptop in a conference room? Or have them bring in a laptop and show some of their work? Nobody ever codes on a white board!! Plus seeing them use a computer tells me way more. Can they type? That's important. I know some really good coders that can't type well, but it's more the exception than the rule. Do they know their tools well? Those things are all actually relevant to the work.

Also here's the other thing: there's essentially no cost or barrier to writing code (IE, you're not using up precious materials or something), so I don't understand why employers want to PROJECT how someone MIGHT write code via puzzles and white board writing when they can literally just pair up and watch the person solve an actual real world problem on an actual computer, with google and stack overflow like they'd actually have access to, and then they don't need to project anything, because they know what it looks like when the person actually writes real world code! Spending a grand on a cheap laptop for this with a few software/IDE licenses is a lot cheaper than making a bad hire.
I have an incurable condition and spent about 3.5 months bedridden before finally getting a proper diagnosis. My condition has a significant respiratory component.

While bedridden, I hallucinated wordless conversations with the Grim Reaper. One day, in the landscape of my mind, he rode up to me on a black steed, leaned down and peered into my face, then swirled around and rode off. I ran after him screaming "Don't leave me here! Take me with you!"

That was the last time the Grim Reaper came to see me. With his departure, I knew I would live.

I wasn't happy about it. I knew I faced a long, hard, torturous recovery. Death would have been kinder.

At some point in recent years, I found myself in a group chat. Someone joined. He was a physician who had had a patient die on him that day.

It was a case of 'agreeing to pull the plug.' The man didn't want heroic measures. He knew he was dying.

The physician described this man's final hour and how his breathing slowed, then stopped. It was weirdly cathartic. A lot of stress went out of me and never came back.
Why be slow when you can be fast?

You don't need a native feature for that. Just emulate a big screen and dispatch a scroll event, that's what SingleFile [1] does.

It's not just a question of whether there is some value in TV and movies, the question is whether it's a better use of time than other alternatives.

"how do you not feel hungry"

If you eat tons of starch you won't be hungry. I eat whole-wheat pasta, potatoes, rice, beans, peas, lentils, corn till failure at every meal and I am in great health.

Also this is hardly a "luxury" diet -- some of the poorest people on earth eat diets based around starches.

They're still solid in the supercomputer space, no? BlueGene, and Summit and Sierra more recently are IBM projects.

Admittedly though given their pretty large size I can't name much else.
Similarity that jumps out to me is that both include a large degree of support for grammars.
For modern high performance CPUs the benefit of RISC in terms of simpler/faster decoding fade a bit in relation to the memory bandwidth benefit of more concise instructions. Still, a lot of die space is dedicated to interpret x86 instructions and issue operations for the backend. I wouldn't mind having that silicon dedicated to more threads (which mean fewer context switches) or a larger cache (which somewhat negates the advantages of a more concise code)

I'm not familiar enough with the automotive industry to know.

To make some rough strawman examples: If a smaller/startup company gives away patents under a "good-faith" condition, it may at best help other startups try to come up to develop the market - perhaps that was Tesla's intent at the time.

If a larger company does this, I'm a bit more confused on intent - perhaps it might be seen as an 'option' in addition to traditional licensing. Where one can either pay for a license or optionally get a free license in exchange for not asserting patent rights against the larger company later on.

I've seen cases where a smaller company may exert patent rights on something seemingly obvious on the industry (they filed the patent, and some judge in Marshall, Texas enforced it), and ends up becoming a method of sharing patent rights with other companies in the industry (e.g. smaller company exerts patent rights, larger company discovers smaller company is infringing on their patents, lawyers end up sitting down and negotiating some license for license agreement). This may be changing a bit with the changes in how patent holders choose courts (see https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2017-05-25/the-te... )
Yeah, that's plural.

Code that intentionally celebrates its unapproachability is not a badge of honor or pride, even as a joke. It might occasionally be an unavoidable necessity, in which case it needs enough documentation that the next person who has to deal with it has the best chance possible.
