I’ve never read a blog post about why PHP sucks. I wrote PHP for many years and it wasn’t that bad but compared to the alternatives I would never go back. Also tormented by all of the Wordpress plugins and template hacks that I got paid to write over the years. Yuck, no thanks I don’t want to do that anymore.
If this is purely backup data, wouldn't glacier be a better fit than either S3 or B2?

Glacier is already cheaper than B2 and has the advantage of storing data redundantly across datacenters. And glacier deep archive is 4 times cheaper than that.

Browser that automatically update are actually hostile to the end user. The biggest effect is that it has been making it easier to create walled gardens on the internet.
Have to agree here. We're talking about potentially avoidable deaths. Blaming the parents won't help, parents will keep doing things like this. I don't think they realized it could mean their child dying.
Except it doesn't work like that. Businesses will prefer to go for the most well known or branded. The $600 a year is nothing to them. Segment being a case in point.

Ask HN: My hand writing sucks, what can I do about it?
When I was about 13 or 14, I abandoned pen and paper for a keyboard. As a result my handwriting is beyond awful - frequently I can barely read my own writing a few weeks later. I often get issues with the bank as my signatures don’t match, and frankly it’s just a bit embarrassing. I’m fairly certain that simply practicing the art regularly would improve things, but does anyone know of any guided drills, programs (digital or otherwise) or any iPad apps that would assist in this?
Then start from a blacklist-fucking-eveything-approach, and hand off elements to sites (or frameworks, or individual pages) based by what they can and will use responsibly, starting with charactersets and linefeeds.

Emphasis, lists, links, colours, headings (pages all in <h4>, yes, I'm looking at you), asides, headers, footers, graphics, audio, video, fonts, sticky elements, scripts, cookies, notifications? Earn that shit. And lose it fast.

If this sounds like a paranoid defensive stance from being under persistent attack, it is and we are.

(vs. it's actual meaning as a guard against government suppression of speech)

False, False, False! This is not how it works in US jurisprudence. Freedom of speech has to do with fundamental human rights and society. Government, being an important part of this, therefore must abide by Free Speech. However, private parties are also subject to it as well. Free Speech is fundamental, and even supersedes other rights, like property rights.

You can still shout whatever you want in the town square,

This is such a dishonest conceit. It's like some dictatorship declaring they have freedom of speech, because while they control the radio, TV, and newspapers, the opposition can still post pamphlets. No, I'm sorry, but the scales of relative power just don't work in a practical sense, either in my examples, or in the one you just proposed!

In 2019, it's like a farmer trying to assert property rights against airplanes overhead. Sorry, but laws do have to change in response to new technological realities.

but you aren't entitled to the audience of any particular publisher.

This is a conceit. The audience relationship is not with people and YouTube. It's with people and a particular creator. It's not the publisher refusing access to its audience. It's the publisher throwing up barriers to the audience.

If there were a monopoly on printing presses, the printing press company wouldn't be allowed to say, "It's my audience, you have no right to it. No Pro Democrat words get printed!" There was a monopoly on telephone wires. It's not as if they would have been allowed to say, "The people connected to my network are my audience! You are not entitled! No Democrat communications over my network!"

What you're defending is just a technological end-run around freedom of speech, which you support because it's your side that would hold all the power.

I agree that it is likely low impact:

> In the grand scheme of things, this backdoor likely has a fairly low impact. As noted, the backdoor was found and fixed quickly but, for a little while, it did have the potential to wreak havoc on affected sites. It is a popular gem, but the version that was backdoored was not from the current 3.4.x branch; 3.2.0.2, which was the last good version before the compromise, was released in September 2014.

Always a good reminder tho to use a defense-in-depth strategy. Containerize your applications and keep the image as lean as possibly so the attacker's capabilities are minimized.

Is this actually a Linux distro, though? I've long held that "WSL" is a misnomer; it happens to be compatible with binaries compiled for Linux, but given that no Linux code is actually present, this would really be Debian GNU/NT.
This doesn't happen as often as you'd think. Most good salespeople jump to companies that are in adjacent but not directly competitive markets. That way they can leverage their client base without coming off as disingenuous by pitching a product they were saying was crap last week.
You shouldn't be getting downvoted. This is a good point. Not that cars should actually be recalled because of this, but that there are risks on all sides that parents are constantly weighing and navigating.

I suspect it is truly less safe for parents to be critically sleep deprived than for a baby to sleep in one of these. Especially in the first couple months when you're driving to the doctor all the time. Are there statistics on car accidents including infants due to sleep deprivation? Or even just injuries due to dropping babies when sleep deprived? I suspect it would be hard to gather these because parents don't like to acknowledge (even to themselves) how much the sleep deprivation is affecting them.
Restoring anything from glacier is a pain in the ass due to all the arbitrary restrictions that apply.

At some point... is there a difference? If you find yourself in a group "ironically" screaming you all support X for long enough, soon you'll find that some of you actually support X. And that you enabled those people.
Please don't spread FUD. Tracking makes it sound like I'm being followed. This is collecting usage-data.
In addition to rolling over and suffocating, young babies with weak neck muscles died through positional asphyxia. Their heads tilted to one side and closed off the airways as they slept. It’s the same reason infants aren’t supposed to sleep in car seats outside of the car- the additional risk is worth it while driving, but not while stationary.
As far as my understanding goes, RFC3021 is unsupported on some router devices widely used as it doesn't have a broadcast and network address and is therefore invalid (/s), so some ISPs default to /30 instead for peering and don't filter out their peering networks in BGP.

> get out of soothing the baby at night

I don't think you meant it this way, but just a note: it's not selfish for parents to prioritize getting some sleep for themselves at night. It is not good (or safe) for anyone if all the care providers are too sleep deprived to function.
I honestly tried to come back to PHP after most of a decade in ruby. I couldn’t find a decent ORM! And after trying to write one, I think I see why.

And that's how you make a browser which gets no users.

The no users part means it gets no funding.

The no users part means it gets no influence over how websites work.

The no influence over how websites work part means nothing renders properly in it - which loops back to 1.

The no funding part means you can't have a team of developers working full time to make it.

The not having a team of developers working full time to make it means it doesn't exist in any form that resembles a modern browser - which loops back to 1.

It's like a vicious feedback cycle but the feedback isn't even necessary to make the idea a non starter.

Another huge advantage: low resource use. I'm often running resource-hungry machine learning and dataprocessing jobs on my laptop (and Slack), and when ram usage gets high often VSCode or Jetbeans IDEs will just freeze up, often requiring a restart (especially C++ Intelllisense). I've switched to Emacs exclusively now for coding (C++, Python and Julia), and the productivity gains from having a rock-solid editor that never freezes or crashes more than outweight the reduced featureset. To be fair though this seems not entirely the IDEs' problem, as I used to encounter this problem less on Windows; Linux just seems particularly bad at providing a smooth desktop experience when RAM usage is high.
The company marketed it as a ‘sleeper’, with an image of a mother sleeping in bed while her child sleeps in the Rock N’ Play. The parents should have read the manual, but Fisher-Price deliberately marketed it in a way that is fundamentally unsafe.
They're "backups" in the sense of storing customer data, but realistically they're more like instance snapshots for various customer game servers. They're created and restored multiple times a day for every customer as they hop between games (accessed very frequently), so Glacier wouldn't be a good fit.
I love the 2nd. And yes, I am an outlier.

Besides, some European countries are starting to see civilian gun ownership as inherently normal, like Czech Republic and Estonia. Though European Union has started to impose some arbritary restrictions on civilian gun ownership, such as what features a gun can have and magazine capacity restrictions.
I have an 8 month old. We still use an incline sleep pad placed under his mattress (i.e. not under the mattress cover, literally between the crib bottom and mattress). It did help a little with his reflux, and so did Prevacid. But after 30 days of Prevacid, our paediatrician referred us to a GI specialist because she doesn't like doing a refill without the consult.

After a lot of back and forth, and difficult times, we eventually determined that he actually has FPIES, and was having issues with cow's milk. My wife cut it from her diet completely (i.e. won't even have processed products that have milk ingredients in them), and his reflux, spitting up, eczema, and tantrums while nursing disappeared.

I mention this because it's a super obscure and rare issue, and if some new parent reads this comment, it might save them some aggravation.
there are some design decisions, in the core language, that cause pervasive weirdness that’s hard to code around. It’s worse that “too permissive” - it’s like there are bad defaults that you have to constantly fight against

Taste testing:

PhilosophersNotes is like sparknotes for self-help books. Can be used as a way to discover / screen books you'd like.

Audio:

Psychology in Seattle's episodes regarding Attachment Theory (6 episodes). The reason why is it's a swiss army knife for understanding relationships and behavior. These episodes are paywalled though, but there are free episodes available if you use a Podcast app.

Like aphextron mentioned Socrates: Republic, Apology by Plato are really good. The one narrated by Ray Childs.

Audible for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig (it's like a Socratic dialog about what Quality is)

A lot of stuff by The Teaching Company / Great Courses in general have been good quality (maybe I've been lucky).

Well and besides, the actual content on the site seems to skew alt-right pretty heavily, whether the racial slurs and swastikas are ironic or not. Taken altogether, it paints a pretty clear picture of a voat-style forum that will alienate most other people if it stays that way.
I only understand your comment enough to reformat it and discover the symmetry you're describing.

capacitors: charge to (flux/time)'

resistors: (charge/time)' to (flux/time)'

inductors: (charge/time)' to flux

memristors: charge to flux

It's every combination of charge or the derivative of charge over time with flux or the derivative of flux over time.
Oh what a thoroughly impressive academic hatchet job, and I mean that in the kindest possible sense. It's intended to kill the idea of memristors as fundamental passive circuit elements, and it's very good at doing just that.

TLDR: by re-deriving the periodic table of passive elements from first principles, it shows that memristors don't fit. The "missing fourth element" from Strukov's table is not really a missing type of a passive element. Rather, it shows that Strukov's table itself is wrong, that it's just a view of the standard C/R/I relationships that conflates two different ways of looking at resistance specifically (see especially https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-29394-7/figures/3 )

FWIW this does not diminish memristors as potentially industry-changing inventions, like transistors. But it denies them the status of fundamental, irreducible passive circuit elements, specifically, partly by showing that while fundamental elements are all connected by charge-voltage relationships (specifically, changes over time, like position/velocity/acceleration are in classical physics), memristors don't have a unique spot there; and also because fundamental elements can't be composed from each other, while the memristors demonstrated so far are "nonlinear composition of resistors with active hysteresis".
So I can store a file in ipfs by its hash, but there’s no way to link to the next version of the file. I can only link to older versions?

This is great.

I think I would be okay with companies like Microsoft collecting data on me if they make it more clear what data they are collecting, what they’re using the data for, having the ability to disable data collection (defaulted to disable preferably), and being able to download and have a guid to understand my own data.

As a dev myself I know all of that is difficult and sounds ridiculous, but I really do think we have a right to the data collected on us and on our behavior. Transparency, ownership, and access, that’s all I ask.

Any body remember when Alone was writing The Last Psychiatrist?
No doubt that she's a talented woman, but I'm guessing her minority status is the primary reason for her being chosen. Does anyone really believe that they were looking for the most skilled person for this position, and it just conveniently happened to be an African American woman? I'd want to believe that but I would just be lying to myself.
We have patents, copyright and trade secrets (e.g. Coke recipe). That should cover it. Depriving people of their primary means of making a living is quite frankly at best indentured servitude but is really in-human.

I’m surprised there aren’t more design tools with scriptable interfaces. Unity does this really well and gives programmers the opportunity to easily code up solutions to help designers with custom workflows.
I want Microsoft to share the vscode extensions, but that reasoning seems weird to me. MS is hosting the extensions, they could decide what applications get access to them. But also saying anything published by mistake immediately makes it part of the current state of an open source project seems too violent. Software authors should decide the terms of their software, maybe past versions maintain the license included in them, but they are not eternal, should the author decide so.

If at some point I want to turn my application more commercial friendly by amending the license or changing it completely, and people tell me "No haha sorry you released as MIT at some point so it's now free forever mate" I would get pissed off and stray away from open source altogether. At least this is how the "you can't revoke a license" argument feels to me. But like I said, past versions that include a specific license should still be governed by that license.

This is not a criticism. That's describing a feature. Yes, they do have that. You could implement your own name resolution in a different way if you need that.
I'm not super familiar with ipfs, but I _think_ ipns is supposed to solve that problem.

> Inter-Planetary Name System (IPNS) is a system for creating and updating mutable links to IPFS content. Since objects in IPFS are content-addressed, their address changes every time their content does. That’s useful for a variety of things, but it makes it hard to get the latest version of something.

Yes — and organizations have been firing (and historically enough, killing) middle managers to “crumple” diffused executive misconduct for a long time.

But “moral crumple zone” sounds sexy, while “the human in an AI driven system is just a scapegoat” is probably something the average person on the street has mused about, extrapolating from purely human behavior or in the context of “taking over” for self-driving cars.
