> Once I discovered that it didn't extract files to a temporary folder, then copy files to the destination from there (resulting in two needless file transfers)

I believe they're saying a file archiver should _not_ do this, and that PeaZIP does _not_ do this.

> I haven't looked back.

I believe this means that they're happy with PeaZIP.
An awful lot of programmers have very high and entirely unjustified view of their programming abilities. I'm sure they find the hiring process weeding them out to be very frustrating.
It doesn't really say why these where banned. From a cursory glance, some of these fall into the "anti-vaxxer" and "anti-trans" group. Also, some accounts that you may call "anti-war" or "anti-police" are posting very graphic images of war or "police work". Those bans are warranted on terms of service grounds.

As for the "over 800" you mention, here's what the source (RT) actually says:

"Facebook is again being called out for purging political accounts too far left and right of center, after it removed more than 800 pages just in time for the 2018 midterm elections. Some had millions of followers.

Many of the affected pages were supposedly sharing links between groups using fake accounts, which then clicked "Like" on the posts, artificially upping their engagement numbers. This "inauthentic behavior" violates Facebook's anti-spam policies and goes against "what people expect" from Facebook, the company said."

That's basically platform abuse, so a ban is warranted as well.

To be clear, I'm not necessarily in favor of banning any of these "alternative media" outlets, but I can imagine why those may have been banned.
As many as it takes for Congress to change the asinine laws that make it so the IRS has us search for and input information it already has about us.
I'm partial to scheme.rs

[edit]
Which apparently does exist: https://github.com/isamert/scheme.rs
Speaking frankly, it's ambitious to complete even one of these courses in a single summer. Most students would be taking one or two of these in 12 - 16 weeks while doing nothing else but being a student. Accomplishing the same in about eight weeks from video lectures will be more difficult. I would strongly urge the author to slow down, choose a single course they have the background for and work from there.

I can't tell if the author has done a real analysis course before, but if they haven't that's the one they should choose next. If they already have that under their belt they should go to probability or complex variables. I don't see the utility of re-doing calculus or linear algebra if the author is already strong in both.

I appreciate the enthusiasm for math that's evident here, that's great! But if you're learning math the "right" way - by actively engaging with the material - there's only so much of it you can learn at once.
Good form deadlifts.
I missed this on HN last week but I just found it on Google. THANK YOU! I've been debugging weird serial errors for the last day, and this is helping a ton!
P4 was supposed to have it baked in the firmware as DJI didn't want to allow 3rd party apps to bypass that limit.
Ask HN: Can I reliably store/preserve DNA samples at room temperature?
I would like to store my own DNA for a long period (several years to 1-2 decades) in a manner that yield a high accuracy sequenceable sample when finally recovered.

I'm mostly aware of cryogenic storage options but they are somewhat expensive and I don't know if I can trust such companies in the long run.

Is there a satisfactory solution to this problem?
> And black identity is detached from black supremacist ideology?

Yes, it is. Both exist (well, at least black identity and black nationalism do, and that's close enough that I'm not going to quibble about it), but while black nationalism depends on black identity black identity exists and thrives outside of it (and historically does so as a reaction against White anti-Black racist actions and ideology), while White racial identity as opposed to ethnic identities largely does not exist outside of White racism (of which it is also a product, though not, obviously, a reaction against.)

> In fact, logic is useful in evaluating the world.

Logic is useful for evaluating the relationship between abstract concepts, but is only useful for evaluating the world when you join it with all the relevant facts about the world. When you reason about abstractions without facts, or in ways which implicitly make counterfactual assumptions, you reach conclusions that are either without material relevance or incorrect.
Yeah, it's what i mean. Thanks for reminding ! Edited.
I don't mind < > , especially when it's generics/templates. For example, D chose !() for it, and it's much harder for me to read.

Other religions that have kept their popularity and adherents over the centuries(and much in the past century) have, part, reformed and toned down the significance of these violent mythologies especially in their relevance to doctrine.
To assert otherwise seems like arguing in bad faith.

Microsoft's hard turn for the best is a weird mirror image of Google's hard turn for the worst.

It almost makes me want to give Windows a try again (ha not really). But I'd try a "Microsoft Linux" desktop (which no longer sounds like a ridiculous concept), before I would try Chrome OS.
Azure SQL is totally down for us, Storage (tables/blobs/queues) is mostly down. Seems to be a DNS issue, and this wouldn’t be the first time Microsoft has been brought down by DNS.

FizzBuzz is much less of a game and much simpler of an algorithm than e.g. looking up something in a sorted binary tree. Do you have a problem with the latter as an interview question?
Saint Louis IX, King of France
I cannot recall the last time I interviewed someone for a position other than intern who could not at least muddle through a FizzBuzz problem. I'm talking hundreds of candidates. The likelihood of a "lucky streak" as long as that if "can't FizzBuzz" is common (i.e. not an outlier) is small.

Usually when I dig into a person claiming "can't FizzBuzz is common" the result is I find what they're calling "FizzBuzz" is nothing of the sort, but is actually a more tricky data structures or algorithms problem.
If everybody is so supportive and the regulatory picture is so rosy why is there a 20 year gap from 1996 to 2016 in the construction of nuclear plants? Even then the 2016 plant is an expansion of an existing plant.

Not to mention the ones that were started but never finished construction like the Virgil C. Summer plants.
I feel like EV sales are also going to be heavily segmented by the basic limitations of charger available for some markets. If you keep your car on street parking because you live in a condo, an EV won't work very well for you.
I agree, a 60 minute judgment may just be a random gut feeling, but...

Your new service offers to connect ex-Google, ex-Facebook, ex-YadaYada with work. It’s all pedigree. Pedigree in my face, on page and in the website title tag.

And... I’m none of those.

So... I personally prefer a world in which I have a chance to be misjudged to a world where I have no chance at all. Maybe it’s just me though...

I think you got the observation right. The solution, no so much so.
I would argue that when a website get enough users, it should be seen as a government. The number is as ill-defined as “how many grains of sand makes a heap”, but FB is now defining the social interactions of more people than the largest single nation state.

On the other paw, I don’t believe in absolute freedom of speech, because the very power which makes the freedom worth having also enables it to cause harm. I think the quote “If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him“ still applies today.

I wish I had a solution to that rather than just a vague feeling. Vague inexpressible feelings are part of the problem.
> most accident are in the 15 Km around the drivers' home (probably because the driver feel "safer" because he knows the road)

A 15km radius from my house would nearly cover all but the most far-flung areas of the medium-sized city that I live in. The vast majority of my driving would be within that radius, so it's not surprising the majority of my driving accidents would be within that radius.

Just for reference, a disk with a radius of 15km would have an area of 700km². You could compare that with the area of Chicago (590km²) or New York City (780km²).
The real question is how are you basing your liking a language? You don't like having wide-ranging libraries, extensive documentation and many prior examples/tutorials that will help you out when you inevitably get stuck? Are you a glutton for punishment? :)

All snark aside, the only sound business case for going with option (1) is if the language is typically only used by high-caliber developers so that when recruiting help it sets the bar for ensuring you're getting good help. Clojure comes to mind as an example of such a language. Too bad it has wide-ranging libraries, extensive documentation and many prior examples/tutorials! ;)

Hope that helps.

Is there even a reason we have to file? My understanding is that if you don't file, the IRS knows about your W2 or 1099s anyway and will punish you, so what's even the point of filing yourself? Just have the IRS send a check or bill in the mail in April and end this nonsense industry.
> Did Alex Jones specifically incite his fans or these trolls to do this? If so, then he's legally culpable

Yes, and he's currently facing (multiple) lawsuits because of it. His defense appears to be that it was temporary hysteria. We'll see how that plays out.
Banning spammers and system abuse is one thing but it's probably not a good thing that HN bans people for other reasons.

At the very least HN should have a public log showing all administrative censorship so people can judge it for themselves.

Without transparency we simply don't know how this extremely influential social network is being manipulated by a tiny handful of people.
Not the same as the fyre festival. They straight up lied. This is like a a battle over a brand. Of course losing the name might lose the acts associated with it.
Users should clamor for a feature that automatically delete emails with subject=password after say a week.

In theory the links are only valid for a few hours. In practice I don't trust that.

Even then, it's not about clamoring, but just having a way to create rules. You just can't do that easily in gmail.
I can think of one reason to lie; to lessen the emotional pain of "neurotypicals" looking down on them.

Thank you for this. You have the right problem statement. I hope you can solve it! I suspect it will be a tough battle, but it sounds like you have no illusions about that. Best of luck to you!
you know you can mute notifications right? If you need to work interrupted for some amount of time just mute... if they need you that badly they can come to your desk
Is it a US thing that this is a recent development?

If you bought a used BMW or Volvo in the 90s with 150k km on it, you would definitely have a reasonable expectation that it would last another 7-8 years. The people I've known with extreme mileage have been like 400k or 500k km.
In America, there isn't really. For the most part, immigrant groups have adopted a culture completely or substantially different than the one from which their ancestors came.
You think Alex Jones is a 100% sane? And no need to guess, all those conspiracy theories discussed on his show had already been talked about by others. The product line is a strawman.

In addition to what kossae said, overpaying for the market is not good for Stripe. The flip side of massively reducing churn is that it also means people wont leave even when they want to, because of the golden handcuffs. Stripe doesn't want demotivated employees who are only staying because they'll have to take a 50k pay cut to work anywhere else.
Oh my sweet summer child.

What does being proud to be white mean to you?
So are you claiming that you can't actually delete your data? Or are you saying that letting you delete your data isn't a thing?

Because "letting you delete your data" seems to be a thing the company is doing. Which you say we should look at.
When I tell my clients Azure had another outage they're going to demand we move to another cloud service. Looks like I'm in for a looong couple weeks.
One of those there is not like the other. Just because we hear repeatedly that the 9/11 story is fully understood doesn't make it true. There is absolutely nothing far fetched about the idea of a conspiracy around 9/11, whether the the evidence is there or not. The motives are there and there is plenty of evidence of lying and false flags throughout history, including recently in the US. Please read on Operation Northwoods and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. This sort of thing involves human politics and is simply not in the same class as reptilian overlords.

If everyone only wants “great” people, where are the mediocre people supposed to work? Think like this long enough and soon the have-nots are plotting a revolution.

Companies with defined, well established revenue streams need to build mentoring programs that turn mediocre developers (solid C) into good (solid B) developers. Those employees tend to be the most loyal and are capable of a great amount of menial to boring coding tasks without complaint. Why do we devalue the grunts? They are the bedrock of every organization.

It’s not like Google’s Adwords is undergoing a complete code rewrite every quarter. Neither is Microsoft Word. Most code changes are incremental, and people need jobs, so why do we denigrate them so?

Plus A players are only usually A in their requisite subdomain. A crack coder of financial systems is going to struggle mightily when writing a morphological filter or a seam carving algorithm. There’s real value to the business when an individual acquires domain knowledge, especially when the domain is not fundamentally exciting (e.g. finance, geology).
Yes, I aggree, a few driven people is probably enough. There is a really interesting book called 'in praise of slow' which has the idea as its main point
I believe you can only file certain forms, and even that varies based on whether you're filing for other people, whether you're self-employed, whether you make over $10M, etc. (https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/e-file-for-business-and...)

If you want to write e-file-enabled software for others I think you need to become an Authorized e-file Provider (https://www.irs.gov/e-file-providers/become-an-authorized-e-...)

That is just an appeal to authority. Once upon a time, that same kind of authority said certain races were sub-human and had few or no rights. The question of whether or not it is a right is completely separate from the current trend of those in power.
I’ve been doing more machine learning for work, and I’ve realized a) how much calculus is involved in it and b) how much calculus I had forgotten since I took the courses as an undergraduate almost 30 years ago. I happen to still have my old calculus textbook (I couldn’t sell it back to the bookstore back then), so I dusted it off and started working through all the problems. I’m about halfway through right now, and man I get strange looks from people when I start working calculus problems. Good to know that I’m not alone, although I’m about halfway through the equivalent of 18.01 (1/10th of the poster’s coursework) after 6 months. It doesn’t look like there are that many sample exercises in the online course, though - that may make it harder to really absorb.

This is my number one annoying dark pattern from Google at the moment.

I would very much like to store my home and work addresses in Google Maps on my phone, but I can't do that without them also storing everywhere I go.

There is no good reason for these two things being tied together other than to make we share my location data. We are talking about storing a few hundred bytes of relatively static data and letting me select them as a shortcut, this is not a complex feature, it's a simple shortcut.
Hey, author here, I really appreciate the feedback. Are there any specific prerequisites to Real Analysis?

Your suggestion that privately held malls are subject to free speech protections is misleading. See Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner. There are counter examples of course, be these apply only in niche situations.
