I think you are describing the work of a junior software engineer. Sure a junior engineer can do "google-fu" and glue together a working application but there is so much more to being a software engineer than that. Here is just a sample of the kinds of things a more seasoned engineer has to consider when developing an application. Note that none of it can be solved by simply googling and glueing in another open source piece of kit. It requires careful consideration and knowledge/experience that lets you make these decisions.

Frontend:

- Should I use a frontend framework with backend API for a single-page application? or use a standard web site with no distinction between frontend/backend.

- How will I handle mobile responsiveness of the html/css?

- How will I server css & js assets? Use a CDN or host them locally?

- Will I minify css & js?

Backend:

- What business requirements will I take into account when choosing a language/framework?

- Is speed and concurrency a must (perhaps choose Golang)? Or rapid prototyping and complex business logic (perhaps Ruby on Rails or Django)?

- Will I write a monolithic application or go for microservices?

- How important is security? Will my framework prevent vulnerabilities like XSS and SQL injection automatically?

- What web server should I use? What kind of scaling requirements do we have?

- How will we handle version control? What processes need to be put in place around deployment?

- How do we handle deployment?

Database:

- Relation SQL database or NoSQL?

- Are there any cases where I will want to de-normalise my data right away or should I wait

- How can I design my schema to be flexible yet still scalable?

- What columns need to be indexed?

Hosting:

- Use a cloud host? (AWS, Google, Azure...)

- Do we need dockerized deployments?

- Should we use kubernetes or a more managed solution?

- How important is vendor lock-in?

- How do we handle config secrets (like API keys)

- How do we handle changes in configuration (i.e. use Chef/Ansible/Terraform etc.)
It's ironic that the 'postal mail' version is free but the online version costs money. Mindnumbingly aweful method of handling resources. Its much more convenient for the government and the tax payer to file electronically
Right now, a lot of it is Cranelift. We haven't yet done much optimization work on Cranelift yet, so there's a lot of room for improvement.
There are actually methods available to set your screen brightness correctly.
Pooling already happens, AFAIK. On AWS at least you have to pay extra to not be pooled with other customers (ie. for exclusive use of a physical machine, regardless of your VM type).

澳洲大学留学生挂科被开除
澳洲大学留学生挂科被开除+Q：575121832
出国留学同样将面临对各种考试成绩，成绩是衡量学业成效最直观的标尺，但国外大学宽进严出的标准，自律差的学生时间都拿去享乐玩物丧失，耗费了精力没有准备去面临对上课、学习、作业、考试，那么带来的就只有挂科，同时拉低GPA所面临的将是学校的警告处分，部分处分严重的学生甚至还将遭受退学、开除、劝退等处分。

只要作为一名学生，就永远逃脱不了学习、考试。学习中最能打击你痛处的是什么？没错，就是挂科。别以为说出国留学就能摆脱挂科所带来的困扰。是的，国外没有挂科，但是有各种Fail，要知道，国外院校在成绩合算时，日常学习表现的分数会占很大一部分比例，一旦Fail，不要指望像国内一样的卷子来让你补个考（当然，部分院校也会采用补考的形式）多数Fail的情况就要面临重修，同样的课程再来一学期，学费自负的同时也有大部分学生没那么好运，相反，一旦重修失败那将可能收到面临开除/劝退等邮件

同时，留学过程中除了挂科，可能还会出现一些让你措手不及的问题，列如：出勤率低、GPA达不到学校规定要求，也有对于不了解国外院校的文化造成的违反学术诚信，考试作弊，论文抄袭，代写等等等等事件都将面临着被学校（Probation）警告，（Suspension）停学，（Withdrawal）劝退，（Dismissal）开除，导致不能顺利毕业的情况也时常发生，特别是对于那些在本科阶段，往往年纪不大，缺乏自制力的学生

如果不幸遇到类似的情况该怎么办？

21世纪是信息化时代，互联网已经完全融入了生活，改变了我们很多方式，学校的办公也离开了纸质的年代，电脑信息化的处理方式，数据结构程序化的处理更加有效的节省了不必要的时间以及消耗，也减少了人工的错误，为了保证数学质量，有效利用学校的软硬件资源，就必须提供一个智能化的，灵活的高校系统管理系统。咨询Q：575121832能在有限的条件下竭尽全力的为学生提供大学成绩修改《承接国外大学挂科/GPA/成绩修改，处理处分警告，开除、劝退等业务》

首先，改成绩的目的是相互的，大家各取所需。解决学生学业阻碍

而在留学的过程中遇到因为考试挂科、出勤率太低、GPA不够还是学术不诚信等等状况面临开除，或者已经被开除导致不能本科顺利毕业无法做学历认证和回国人员证明，甚至是在留学期间遇到 I-20被取消，这些问题都是有很好的解决办法的，无论现在是在国内国外，都可以加Q：575121832在线咨询，提供安全修改计划方案，针对性更改，解决学业成绩的困扰。
I have downvoted because despite having 1st World passport I had experienced traveling a lot in SE Asia how Cloudflare blocks (sorry protects) 1/3 of websites.

Browsing from a cafe, using VPN results in almost every attempt of following link from HackerNews in solving endless captchas. It is like being harrassed on the border control just because you have the wrong passport.

Saddly many of the sites "protected" by Cloudflare are interesting personal sites owned by honest people who had been scared about dangers of traffic from bad places.

Cloudflare is running internet protection racket Al Capone style.

The real innovation of the VOC was how they financed things. Prior to the VOC exploration was funded by monarchs. The VOC brought in the concept of banking and share holding. Later on this spawned things like risk management and the insurance industry.

Are there any 32-bit CPUs being produced for the mass market these days?

Can we stop assuming that people are always going to have the latest hardware? Even then, 32-bit SoCs running Linux are still pretty common in various embedded things and other low-power devices --- exactly the use-case for a small and native chat client.

Pretty cool! Congrats :) Would've loved to see a 3D render of the device.
Maybe, but I think improvisers wouldn’t even have to be able to read music at all. Just imagine sounds that go with the current tune and then play them. You don’t have to picture a score in your head to do that. Whenever I’ve jammed with other people that’s how it’s worked.
Glad to see some energy from the Sphinx folks. I had not hear about the fork, congrats!
Ask HN: Do you have a server troubleshooting guide?
I'm learning how to manage linux servers and the amount of topics to keep track of is pretty daunting (Apache / Nginx, dbs, mx, DNS, networking, CDNs, server load, etc).

I'm putting together my own troubleshooting guide and I'd love to know what personal / public guides / checklists HN uses when encountering issues while doing SysAdmin.
Whenever I get too worked up about how decisions are made in my group, I like to think of all the IT departments there are in my city, in the world even.

I don't care about what decisions are being made in those places, so I shouldn't get too worked up about decisions being made where I work either.

If, after giving my recommendations, and making my arguments, people still decide to do risky dumb things with infrastructure, I don't let it bother me anymore.
Perhaps this whole visualisation process is related to hallucinations. Do people with aphantasia ever experience these?
The comparator group is other philosophy professors. More ethics books go missing than in other sub fiends of philosophy.

The abstract

> If explicit cognition about morality promotes moral behavior then one might expect ethics professors to behave particularly well. However, professional ethicists’ behavior has never been empirically studied. The present research examined the rates at which ethics books are missing from leading academic libraries, compared to other philosophy books similar in age and popularity. Study 1 found that relatively obscure, contemporary ethics books of the sort likely to be borrowed mainly by professors and advanced students of philosophy were actually about 50% more likely to be missing than non-ethics books. Study 2 found that classic (pre-1900) ethics books were about twice as likely to be missing.
For me imaginary input has less details and exists in a separate plane, and it never mixed up with real senses, in the sence that I always know which is which and to my knowledge I've never mixed them up when awake (only in sleep).

Visualizations are "ghostly", have few details, like 0.1 - 10% of what I usually see. Detail level depends on amount of attention allocated to internal imagery. Picture is always moving, changing, in flow. It takes considerable effort to pin a scene and stabilize it though it increases resolution. I've asked around and some people report having sequence of static, very high-resolution, almost real life quality pictures, either from real experience or synthesized. And images flip, replacing one another. Other people say that they have very fast low-res flowing "movies" like me, often consisting of several independent streams in different "parts" of awareness, typically with only one if focus. It's not that imaginary stream is overlayed on real sensory stream, it's more like they are different kinds of perception, like seeing and hearing is, though visual imagery is closer to seeing because objects it deals with have similar perceptive qualities, like having spatial component and colors.

In my case imagined sounds are more detailed. When I'm remembering or simulating a conversation, voices are rather close to that of real people. Music can be recalled quite well too, maybe up to 20% detail level of original. On several occasions a had some excerpts playing unvoluntary playing in my head with like 90% detail level of original. Quite often I got some music stuck in my head. When I'm underslept it's usually some bad quality pop music from 80s-90s that I haven't heard since my childhood.

Tactile, smell and taste sensations can be and are emulated too.

I wonder, do people with aphantasia have dreams? Dreams are fully emulated sensory input, though I feel like they come from a bit different place then imagined input does.

Edit: actually mind's eye is not restricted with field of vision of real sight, it can encompass say 1km sphere around me with very very low level of detail. I think that kind of capacity is used automatically in daily life when you walk somewhere and you have automatically constructed knowledge of what's behind your back.

Very true. When I'm at social occasions and I get asked what I do for a living, the subject will be hurriedly dropped when I reply that I'm a software developer. It amuses me. As you say, the whole concept seems to be so far outside of most people's frame of reference, that they have literally nothing to say on the subject.

The lack of intellectual curiosity in the general populace is dismaying to me, but it was ever thus.
Richard Holbrooke and Pax Americana’s Decay
I can draw (from sight or imagination) things I can't "see in my mind's eye" just like I often compose music that doesn't play in my head. When drawing, my hands move to create the drawing on the paper that represents the concept I want to show, even though I am not seeing it; I "just know" how to move, even though I can't exactly visualize what to do, like you probably "just know" how to drive even though you couldn't make a full 3D model of your car and the surrounding space.

It actually gives me more reward from drawing than most people, because what I access when drawing (seeing what I imagine with my eye) most people can do without the hard part of learning how to draw. For me drawing is the only way, my sketches are the only existence of some of these things I've thought of.
Just to be clear: other than the Mr Robot promo your main criticism is that their politics don't align with yours?

Because I think when people ask about Mozilla controversies they're thinking about situations in which Mozilla has "broken character" by e.g. risking users' privacy, not activism that is absolutely in line with Mozilla's stated goals (whether you personally agree with them and their interpretation thereof or not).
Emacs Org supports three different settings in terms of this:

- Show styling sigils and keep text plain;

- Show styling sigils AND style the text;

- Hide styling sigils and style the text.

In my experience, the middle option really hits the sweet spot.

I'm not sure what lane surfing is. But aside from the 130mph remark - changing lane to maintain speed is how you're supposed to drive on a motorway/freeway. So long as you're within the speed limit, of course. Braking is a freeway anti-pattern.
The second argument is about raising all relevant barriers to submitting your tax return. If I were in this camp I’d be pushing for everyone to have zero withholding and carry cash to a tax filing center. Ideally, there would be very few tax filing centers so you would need to travel far and wait in line. My bet is that within the first year of this taxes would be massively reduced. Also, very few people would actually be able to pay the government.

Again, this is just for the sake of argument.
This is not CSS minimalism, this is NO CSS.

How that site is rendered on your device is the default look of any website in your browser before any CSS is applied.

This site would actually profit a lot from this minimal CSS as the defaults are bad and on mobile they are even worse.
You can do that with the Symfony console, Phoenix mix tasks and I would guess a lot of other frameworks.

I went to a magnet middle school in small town south GA in 1988 where we had an Applesoft Basic programming course. All of the public high schools also had elective Basic courses while I was in school.

From the best I can tell, teaching programming in was a thing in the mid 80s to mid 90s and then declined

Org-mode looks very similar to markdown. Almost so that I would call it pointlessly different.

The word standardization gets abused a lot in our industry. Usually it implies something that 1) has a non ambiguous specification, 2) is widely used. 3) is endorsed by some standards body or cross industry organization or simply so widely used that it effectively is a standard 4) has multiple independent implementations (tools, parsers, websiters, etc.)

Org-mode has a specification (https://orgmode.org/); is at this point in time not widely used; has not been endorsed or proposed to a standards body like e.g. w3c, ietf, etc.; has a very limited amount of implementations. Declaring it a standard is meaningless until that is fixed.

The Github flavor of markdown has a decent specification (https://github.github.com/gfm/), many implementations of e.g. parsers for different languages, many websites/tools/etc. using it. It's not at this point a formal standard but the previous makes it more or less a de-facto industry standard that is widely used, with a reference OSS implementation and many other parsers aiming to be compatible.

If you are implementing markdown support, you could do worse than pick this flavor. Several other flavors are equally well specified, have similarly good tool support and industry endorsement, and might very well be considered standards in their own right.

Of course, like with Json, there's a long tail of not so great parsers that have implementation specific bugs/quirks/omissions/features, etc.
You misspelled Brazil ("Brezil").
Use O_CLOEXEC everywhere (even third party libs). It's really annoying, but necessary. Means you need to use accept4(), dup3(), popen with an additional "e" (of course all of that needs to be feature tested, during compilation/runtime).
You can do that with a free lunch too.

Would it be a private, subsidies free school, or a public one? Quite likely the actual cost of a public school will be 10 or 100 more than you have to pay in tuition.
There is no listed equivalent of RecordIO. What do people use for high-reliability journals?

When I needed something like RecordIO to store market data, I couldn't find anything. So I implemented https://github.com/romkatv/ChunkIO. I later learned of https://github.com/google/riegeli (work in progress), which could've saved me a lot of time if only I found it earlier. I think my ChunkIO is a better though.
Does using hugepages help?
At EPFL we're trying a model with the Extension School that is somewhere between 2 and 3. We don't quite do flying cars (yet) but we're developing more and more advanced material - and the big plus being that learners in the programs get a diploma (e.g. https://exts.epfl.ch/courses-programs/applied-data-science-m...).

I do think that universities should invest more heavily in this mix, obviously without losing their strong standing in 1.
Opera started as a paid browser and nearly went bankrupt. They even had ads on the free version. Barely anyone paid for it and the ads killed adoption.

Heck, even Netscape Navigator started out as shareware. It was "personal use only" but most commercial users never bought a license. It was eventually defeated by Microsoft Internet Explorer, which was free for commercial use even before it shipped with the OS.

If there is any chance someone will attempt a paid browser again, it will most definitely be based on Chromium (or maybe Firefox) rather than written from scratch and no website will make any effort to test on it (just like barely anyone ever tested on Opera).
Conservatives always love when people say "vote with your dollars", because that means the people with more dollars get more votes.
This is neat. I'll have to look later when I'm at my computer but at a glance I'm not seeing a mobile app. Is it supposed to be compiled and sideloaded?
Perhaps - as a discovery that has attracted no research in a century and a half, diagnosis seems unlikely. When I came across it a few years back it was a news piece about some university research into an unexamined phenomenon. That must have been Essex uni in 2015.

It was only after that news piece I realised literally seeing images was even possible! I always just assumed anyone who spoke of "seeing" was just using a poor visual metaphor to describe something far vaguer. When I speak of visualising there is nothing I could call visual in proceedings, it's a feeling, a concept, a sensation. "I just know", and can sense and explore without seeing.

Like the commenter I replied to, having heard of this thing I had to ask a selection of friends similar questions "so you actually see a ball?". Oh. Wow. Really? So then I wanted to know how vivid, how often, how controllable etc. It also blew my mind somewhat as I just assumed visual was entirely metaphoric.

For me, it's not having a vague or ephemeral image and expecting something special or super realistic. It is being in a basement or coal mine during a power cut. Nothing. The mental cinema screen is firmly off. For all of my life.

I have never once been aware of any visual aspect to any of my imaginings or dreams. Not even a sense of light or dark, colour or even some vague, blurry outline. The sense of 3d and spatial awareness and modelling isn't - for me at least - connected with an ability to create images. I seem able to do the former just fine, and the latter not at all. Yes, it does seem strange to be able to do the spatial without any visual whatsoever, yet it's consistently worked quite easily. Describing it adequately is far, far harder... :)
I'm curious about how this works for dead-drops, especially when I think about journalism, political dissent and whistle-blowing. It means, I assume, there has been some previous offline interaction where keys can be exchanged, but how does that stop the keys getting into nefarious hands? Isn't that always a concern?

I'm leaning towards agreement with you, especially for embedded API docs in code.

I've been using Scribble for embedded API docs for years,[1] and the formatted result looks great, and is very powerful and extensible (Scribble is actually a better LaTeX), but it's not nearly as readable in code as it could be.

I think I actually preferred my earlier three-comment-character-Texinfo format I had before, and I even wrote a converter to Scribble for it (so that it would look idiomatic), except Texinfo format just couldn't handle Racket types.

Now that I've put Racket on hold while I Rust a bit, in the interests of job-hunting, I'm happy to see Rust is using Markdown (coincidentally, also with the three-comment-character prefix).

He's quoting Hickey out of context to try and make it look like Hickey is either ignorant or dishonest about what a type spec like "a -> a" means. In context, Hickey is using hyperbole to emphasize how little information is actually conveyed by a type spec, and explain why he decided to leave types out of Clojure. Thomas' rant is grossly unfair to Hickey, and does a great disservice to the programming community, especially considering the explorations Hickey is currently doing with regards to Clojure spec.
