For a task like taking backups on servers that involves invoking bunch of commands, I'd rather not use a scripting language that asks you to open a process, bind variables on its stdin/stdout and all the boilerplate handling.

How do you do this in a scripting language without complication?

$ ssh remote.server 'mysqldump db | gzip -c' | gunzip -c | mysql db

It's the power of individual commands though I admit bash sucks as a language but it got invented forever ago, so can't blame it. But we need something better than bash. Fish is close but not too good.

From the article: "...Mr. Molina had sometimes signed in to other people’s phones to check his Google account. That could lead someone to appear in two places at once, though it was not clear whether that happened in this case."

If this is how it really happened then the investigators didn't even bother to crosscheck the data with the cell tower information (assuming the telco logs this info). Sending false location data to google shouldn't be that hard, but it should be a lot harder to fake the cell tower connections.

I'd guess some things affect the way they see it.

a) Their media probably doesn't point it's finger at Chinese gov very often about this specific subject (or any other)
b) Our media/government is just too eager to point their finger at China, for many social/cultural/political regions. This barrage of criticising tends to make many people believe the issue is exaggerated and even fabricated after some time.
c) If you're Chinese, item 'b'is specifically impacting, since you not only may prefer believing in your own government, you know for a fact that US and NATO have specific interest in painting your country badly, regardless of how much truth is or isn't involved in the arguments.
Well put. Thank you.

In my world, config files are machine-parsed but human-generated and modified. JSON is just easier to work with.
I'm so sick of this story. Essentially the same story comes around once a month. Apple is following the laws of a country they do business in. Full stop. They are not censoring anything. The Chinese government is censoring.

There are plenty of things that the US government wouldn't let Apple publish. We may all agree that they shouldn't be allowed to publish those things, but it's not like China is the only country with laws.

It's naive and childish to expect a corporation to ignore the laws of a country they operate in and forego a billion-person market over something as petty as this. It's not Apple's job to fight your social justice battles. Quit whining and take China on directly.
It's a technical distinction without a practical difference. They are both declarative languages to describe data.

Why is it so horrible? Have you ever typed a <ul><li> list? Or <input name="key" value="value">? What exactly is so difficult about this syntax in XML but completely fine in HTML?

The point isn't whether you can represent a document in JSON, it's about how easy it is for a human to manage it. The XML/HTML structure is far easier as things get more complex. The page you linked to shows this quite clearly even with the small "Bulleted List Example" at the bottom.
Easy and expected solution: they should count the number of Share via Message into the share count (even if it is shared privately).

Are shares not as good of a metric as comments (even though most comments are effectively shares, making them even more noisy)?

Playing with Yourself: The Power of Personal Projects
The cycle network is not half decent imo. Take a walk - or a drive around London and it quickly becomes apparent that cyclist are the lowest priority next to cars (1st) and walkers (2nd). In many cases, the cycle network is so half-assed it ends up making things more dangerous for everyone. Numerous bike paths exist that head directly into a utility pole, or last less than a block, or are consistently used as parking spaces, or lack any sort of protection from drivers. London does have a handful of nice 'cycle superhighways' which in any other city are simply 'bike lanes.' It's a good start.

I see bike infrastructure as a win-win-win. You reduce traffic and pollution, free up space on public transit, and improve the health and wellbeing citizens. I think London could develop a really unique bike network too - because many of the paths don't need to be associated with roadways and can instead cut through parks or follow along beside train tracks, canals, or the river.

I was thinking of a device similar to a pi-hole for blocking TV commercials. It plugs into your TV's HDMI port and somehow as soon as a commercial starts it switches to playing some relaxing music or a low key picture slide show. Even just switching to a blank screen would be better than the commercials yelling at me. Not really sure if it is feasible because it would have to have the smarts to distinguish between the actual tv show and a commercial but I'd play good money for something like this. And for bonus there would be some running metrics, just like how those water fountains that say something like "saved 3432 plastic bottles from entering the environment," this would say "saved you for seeing 242 hours of commercials"
There was a period when the internet was new for everybody, and everybody was discovering it at the same time. It was like the first few weeks of college, except it was the entire world. And that's not going to happen again. Somebody will come up with a new social media app that solves the problems of the current platforms, and it will have some of the old magic. But the rush of the early days of the internet / blogging / social media, was a one time thing.

I setup a rpi+pihole a month ago after reading an HN post, and I was amazed at how much faster most browsing was (especially on phones).

I've only had a couple of things that didn't work because of the pihole, and honestly I found it faster to just make a phone be a 4g hotspot, connect my computer to that hotspot, get past the "hump", then switch back to my home network. It's not ideal, but it doesn't happen often.
Would you pay a few % more in taxes knowing that every human in this nation could receive the healthcare they need? I would without a second thought.
There is definitely a psychological problem. When I had a high deductible plan I always set the max aside but considering the potential cost of a doctors visit I often hesitated. 1000 dollars is still 1000 dollars even if you have set them aside beforehand.

Is the government entitled in any way to “proprietary information” that is then treated like property?

We (some of us) allow corporations to treat proprietary information as intellectual property with the same legal protections as physical property because it benefits society to protect the revenue streams of eg hollywood so that they will continue producing new movies at a profit. But it is a specific hack to protect revenue streams of businesses to incentivize them to produce new and valuable information.

We never agreed to the same protections for the state, or even that such is good or necessary.

I am not sure how treating a video bitstream of war crimes (produced with hardware purchased with my tax money) as “property” that does not belong to me (a member of the group who paid for its production) benefits society. I am not sure how punishing someone who furnished me with a copy of that bitstream as someone who “stole” benefits society or encourages production of new or innovative or valuable information. Recall, that is the whole basis for the concept of “intellectual property” - a metaphor for businesses to profit from spending time and money producing new bitstreams, by shoehorning it into old physical property protection systems. The state is not a business and their prosperity is not an explicit goal of our society.

All it does it protect the state, who has demonstrated over and over again its willingness to break the law, perpetrate violence, and lie to everyone about all of it.

That is not a legal interpretation of “property” that we agreed to.
We do have public education but I suppose its too much to make this sort of thing mandatory.

I think using the popularity of HTML (a rich text format) to justify using XML as a configuration format is a bit disingenuous. The two use cases (structured data and rich text) are genuinely very different from each other. In rich text, the primitives are text and markup. In structured data, the primitives are structures (lists, maps) and data (strings, bools, numbers). The impedance mismatch goes both ways - try taking a typical JSON document and expressing it in XML. Which parts end up as attributes? Elements? Text nodes? How do you express the semantic difference between a list and a map? A string and a boolean value? It’s arbitrary, ugly and verbose no matter how you slice it. And, just like it’s inverse, basically unmanageable without tooling.

Also HTML is not XML. HTML is non-strict (the spec is it’s parser not its format). HTML doesn’t have schema files. HTML doesn’t understand self-closing tags. HTML does have void elements (img, br, input, etc). HTML is designed for humans to write. And it’s a tool fit for its purpose, unlike the abomination that is XML.
This is such a rad app. I really wish it integrated with Chrome.
It's not necessarily that simple.

I would say that for most Americans who are cash poor, they intentionally do not optimize their taxes to break even, but rather to ensure they never end up owing the government money at the end of the year.

The rationale for this is pretty simple. Even if you're poor, $50 a month in extra income isn't going to make or break you, but an unexpected bill for $600 in April can really mess you up. On the other hand, just going with max withholdings and discovering in April that you get $600 back from the government is a nice bonus.

It's not the "optimal" decision from a finance perspective, but for a lot of people it works better in real life.
This is one of my favorites too.

HCL and HCL2 from hashicorp have a similar feel -- which makes sense, since they were inspired by ucl and nginx configs apparently (so says the readme).
HTML is distinctly not XML. There is XHTML if you want to use a form of HTML that is processed like XML, but XML processing is a lot stricter than HTML processing in which you can take a lot more liberties in the markup and still end up with a readable result, maybe even what you intended, whereas an XML processor will usually refuse to render incorrect XML markup at all.

They are of course free do that, but that certainly reduces their standing if they try to preach privacy. The most revealing test of a company's principles is when they have to make inconvenient choices.
Apparently that’s what they’ve proposed, but we’re still not sure whether is it really going to happen or not.

I programmed exclusively with text editors for a number of years. Of course you can do anything in a text editor that you can do in a modern IDE as long as you have patience. I would even go so far as to say that having the experience of using a text editor instead of an IDE is a valuable one; certain types of edits really can be done much more efficiently in vim than an IDE so it's an excellent tool to have at your disposal. But text editors simply can't match the sophistication and efficiency of a good IDE that is built to interact with your code programmatically from the ground up. For example, here is a list of refactoring operations that IDEA provides as atomic operations that can be done in a few clicks/keystrokes and instantly, safely undone with a single keystroke[0]:

* Change signature

* Convert Anonymous to Inner

* Convert to Instance Method

* Encapsulate Fields

* Extract refactorings

* Extract constant

* Extract Field

* Extract interface

* Extract method

* Extract Superclass

* Extract variable

* Extract parameter

* Extract into class refactorings

* Find and Replace Code Duplicates

* Generify Refactoring

* Inline

* Invert Boolean

* Make Static

* Migrate

* Move and Copy refactorings

* Pull Members Up, Push Members Down

* Remove Middleman

* Rename refactorings

* Replace Constructor with Builder

* Replace Constructor with Factory Method

* Replace Inheritance with Delegation

* Replace Temp With Query

* Safe delete

* Type Migration

* Use Interface Where Possible

* Wrap Return Value

Meanwhile, merely performing a simple pure-text find-replace across multiple files using vim and emacs is a chore. And better hope you don't screw it up because there's often no easy way to safely undo such a change, especially not with a single keystroke. The idea that even master-level users of vim/emacs could begin to hope to replicate the operations listed above with the depth, accuracy, and user-friendliness that IDEA offers is simply laughable. Any granddad worth his salt is perfectly capable of understanding that advancements in software have yielded tools that are by far and away objectively superior for a wide variety of development tasks.

> The more languages you learn, the more you realize they have more in common than not.

That happens if you learn many similar languages, which is a waste of time. You have to learn languages in different paradigms to learn new things and discover languages that have nothing in common.

You can’t learn a language without building stuff.
I personally find the TOML solution quite nice. In part because you can always drop to JSON syntax to avoid excessive nesting of array tables.
Scott Manley has a good video on the Stratolaunch (it's a little bit old though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw84qJIGZeo

The flight of the Roc launch plane is very impressive, but they have a real problem with the rocket. The Pegasus XL is not cost effective and they've dropped the plans for making a custom air-launched rocket. With Paul Allen gone, it seems like they're trouble unless they can find another backer with deep pockets.

EDIT: There's a Chinese iTunes page for Hypnotize, and GreatFire's test indicates that the same response is served to users in China as in the US https://en.greatfire.org/https/itunes.apple.com/cn/album/hyp...

EDIT 2: Actually, that GreatFire check would have been unnecessary, since the censorship appears to be applied depending on the display language. Note the conspicuously absent song #14 here, then change "cn" in the URL to "us" to see it https://itunes.apple.com/cn/album/%E4%BA%BA%E9%96%93%E9%81%9...
Could you give an example of how an IDE could make you much more productive than emacs?
Showbiz (in its widest sense) is very much who you know.
The US has the first amendment. Can you give an example of something the US government wouldn't let Apple publish?
When someone asks me about what is the most important challenge of this century, I reply: PRIVACY. The way it goes right now shows us very clear sign there will be no privacy anymore. Anything you say or watch is preserved and can be used one day against you. My apologies to all future politicians. It is serious. Porn habits? No problem. Drunk jokes? Will reflect. The way to solve this conundrum is a change of social norms, but it's a long way.

Worth noting that Apple "gets away" with more in China than most:

- iMessage, one of the only end-to-end encrypted messaging systems widely available in China.

- iCloud Keychain, which they've designed to work securely on "adversarial clouds"[1]

(Of course this may only be because not many people actually use these features versus WeChat...)

I know laziness sells, but really is it so bad to just click the mute button and turn on some music? I rarely watch TV these days but when I do I often sit with a different form of entertainment (music player, laptop, handheld video game system) and just switch to that during commercials.

To me the real issue with commercials isn't the fact that they're selling me something, it's the fact that they're interrupting my entertainment. That will happen regardless of whatever pops up on my screen.

In saying all that, I do like the concept. Perhaps video taping a show and removing the ads afterwards would have the optimal effect? Just googling around I seem to find some video taping software already has this feature, not sure how well it all works though.
What they write is not important.

It's what they do.

The culture there is very different to ours ( friend politics..), we conceive it as important, because it's written. But that's not the case in their eyes.
Revoking access to the charge station somewhat make sense. There is a lot of power involved and if you modify the wrong stuff, things can go spectacularly badly.

Also, if a modified Tesla catches on fire at a charging station, do you think the headlines will mention that it was modified or will it just be “Tesla catches fire and blows up at supercharger”
> is the division of the world into distinct social networks an expression of increasing social stratification

i think it is more about the level of need for social signaling. affluent people probably dont need it , except the narcissistic ones, while signaling seems to be very important for the middle classes.
> Quit whining and take China on directly.

What if shaming US companies doing business in China is the most efficient approach? Who cares if it is indirect - if it puts any kind of pressure on the censorship system, it's worth it.

Besides, companies like Apple talk a big game about privacy and democracy. It is only fair to point out when they don't walk the walk.
Another commenter linked to this: http://www.jsonml.org/

Scroll down and I think it shows it perfectly how (X|HT)ML tags are much simpler than JSON syntax once things get complex and nested. It's not that hard to define basic primitives like we do with HTML (which has dozens of tags) but XML also lets you define your own schema if necessary to make things more compact.

I understand the technicalities between HTML vs XML but I don't see how it makes any practical difference when you're editing a bunch of tags in a text file. It's the same thing. The structure looks identical. What is the actual issue that makes HTML easy but XML hard?
Few more in taxes? Maybe we can redirect some funds pocketed by the military industrial complex instead. Though Boeing and others will fight to the death over their infinite money supply/bailouts.
why is it a problem to have a maximum deductible?

Relatedly, it seems like there's roughly some 'max' insurance expects you to pay each year, and you can decide whether to take the risk using a high deductible plan, and potentially not have many expenses, but lower premium, or have higher premium up front.

8 years ago, our HDHP was ... $280/month. It's now north of $800, and the deductible went up. Yes, we're a bit older, too but it's still a bit crazy.

$280/month, with high deductible, meant that, in a bad year, we might have $15k in expenses before the insurance covered everything else. Now, it's more like $10k per year in premiums, and another $10k+ before insurance really would kick in. Catastrophic need? It's fine - I don't want to have to face a $400k bill. Day to day? This stinks.
Possibly. I think the extra `&`s are something that could wash out with one-time tooling, and that the desire for `@nest .parent &` would bump the conversion rate, but it's always fun to watch the comings and going of standards.
