I've been meaning to update that post to mention that Poetry has been releasing fixes and improvements more frequently than Pipenv. Poetry is great for developing packages, too.

(Showing up in an HN thread is a neat little milestone for my blog and me. Thanks for sharing!)

Adding on to this, I am 100% certain I would be happier if I had enough money to retire right now and maintain my current lifestyle. I might even choose to keep working, but that piece of mind would definitely make me happier in general.
Big difference with Corp data. Even FB never leaked that.

I think technical books are a bit different than a lot of other books. They generally have a smaller audience and are most valid for a year or two. These and text books (for core subjects) have always been around $50-$100. More niche books or reference books are many times more.

Since the audience is small and most of the benefit is early on, I think there's a lot of value in publicly releasing it later. Much like id Software tends to open source their engines about 5 years after release even though they would license and sell it for many thousands of dollars.

About your javascript example. A lot of companies are just very tight with money. I doubt most places I worked would use version control if it wasn't free. Years would go by when we needed to update something like MySQL on a server, but nobody had the time. I'd ask, "Can't we just get a contractor to carry it out? We're all busy and it doesn't make sense to hire someone full time." but that fell on deaf ears. I imagine part of it as mindlessly sticking to a system that has worked for them (only having full time workers and doing everything in house) and part of it is getting burned by wasting money on unused services. I've often seen, "We're paying 10k a year for that? I can install/port an open source version and spend probably 10 hours a year maintaining it"

Personally, I've pushed to open source anything that's not a competitive advantage. I see everyone wasting too much time doing the same thing at multiple companies that just take time away from what we like/want doing and what makes us money.
Google has gotten to the point where it creeps me out. I've switched away from Chrome. I don't use their search engine unless I can't find the results on Bing or DuckDuckGo.

I don't know if it's going to get to the point where it hurts their business (I'm just one person), but I'm to the point that targeted advertising is a really good way to make me not want to buy a product.

It is impossible to engage with someone's mistaken position without clarifying that position. As a result, I asked which rule they thought was violated.

Since they are unwilling to even explain their reasoning, it is simply not possible to engage with them productively. Instead, people make it personal (like you just did with your accusation of propaganda) and go completely off the rails instead of answering a very simple question.

This entire thread has fallen well short of the expectations of intellectual curiosity and genuine good-faith debate expected on HN. Shame.
Is this similar to what FreightHub is doing?

On the practical side, if you're working on a low level with NGS data, htslib[1] may be worth looking into. It is a C library for reading, writing, and manipulating data structures that are commonly used in NGS (BAM, VCF, etc). I have used it and can attest to its quality. However, as is the issue with all software related to genomics, its only documentation is its header files and example programs. Here is the very example I used to get started[2]. The comments in the header files are usually good enough.

The reason I'm recommending it is the quality of its interfaces. It can seamlessly handle (input or output) virtually any kind of file you throw at it (SAM, BAM, CRAM). I can't say the same for a lot of other software I have run into in this space.

I use all my mail through G Suite on a domain I own through a third party registrar.

I logged into the link provided in the article and got a message “You don't have any purchases”.

Maybe this feature isn’t available to me since I’m a G Suite user rather than a gmail user? I actually wouldn’t mind having this feature available, although I do keep google’s location history disabled.
It is actually much simpler. You should look at those who filed false reports without proper investigation of an issue and checking the circumstances. If they blindly trust their computer system that tells them "Report John Doe", it is their fault. They should have proper procedures to double check the details for such cases.

Programming bugs are unrelated to the issue.

I might be wrong, but if you submit false tax statements then excuses like "program bug" won't help you.

An addiction to social media... you have got to be kidding me? If you have an addiction to social media then the problem is with YOU, not social media. FB has problems but people spending to much time on it is not one of them or rather not for people who have any sense of self respect, discipline and dignity. If you can't regulate the time you are spending on FB and it is altering your life then that is your fault.

Comparing excessive use of social media to an addiction is ridiculous and irresponsible. If you can't play with your child because your to busy scrolling threw pictures on Instagram then you are a bad parent and having a FB account was never going to change that.
Look I'm a broken record at this point (if you check my history), but I feel like _someone_ has to say it.

Lets treat big oil like big tobacco. Big coal. Big fast food. Big soda. These things _literally_ kill so many people every year and while Facebook is surely attributable to some deaths as a medium, it has at least some social utility.

Why are there so many articles about facebook and not soda!
Moving from one city to another surprisingly enough costs money that homeless people don't happen to have. Many of them have children in schools, and the school is the only place the child is ever warm or fed. Yes, in American society we will let children sleep under bridges. And if you do move to another city that seems to offer more opportunity you'll still be homeless and then 15-year-old Libertarian fuckwits on forums like this one will deride you as someone who "flocked here" for the welfare handouts.

I'm looking at the following from the post:

> The intrusion originated on May 5 when a build deployed to the development tier for stackoverflow.com contained a bug, which allowed an attacker to log in to our development tier as well as escalate their access on the production version of stackoverflow.com.
> Between May 5 and May 11, the intruder contained their activities to exploration

To me, that reads "we deployed a bug on May 5th that allowed intrusion, and it was exploited the same day." If that's not what they meant - I certainly recant my criticism - but "on May 5th when a build deployed contained a bug" is difficult for me to interpret differently.
Yeah, that's pretty cool! I'll probably wait for the price to come down a bit, and to see what the real lifespan of the things are, before I start doing anything more than experimenting with them, though.

It was good, if a little cursory. At times it sort of felt like a trailer for itself or for a multi-part series. Didn't have the same depth of say Triumph of the Nerds or Pirates of Silicon Valley. The ending was rather fluffy.
It's not you. There are plenty of people who dislike pipenv. Another commentor suggested poetry, which is what I favor when 'python3 -m venv .env' isn't appropriate.
Depends on the company. At our 6 year old startup, email is dead except for external communication. Everything is on slack including ops, stand ups and informal communication. At Google, hangouts was lightly used but everything was on email.
I would love to leave gmail but two things hold me back:

1. Archive export. This is the main thing, I've got a 15 year record of emails and now and then being able to search back to something that happened 5-10 years ago is a life-saver. Is there even a way to export your gmail archive?

2. What to replace it with? I've heard FastMail is a good alternative, and some people really like ProtonMail, but I've had a hard time evaluating services because it's not a trivial thing to set up and use an alternative email account, and I'm not sure what other than real daily use would be a valid test run.
Yeah, but no one would remove punctuation from a program because they think it looks nicer.

Oh, of course.
I can confirm it's not enabled (at least by default) for G Suite. I have email pass through a g suite account into a personal email account (so both accounts will see it) and the g suite account has no purchases history while the personal account has full history accurate up until yesterday.
Sounds wrong to me. Hiding chat logs or other business information from the company itself as well as customers (albeit suing ones) seem stupid. How would the company ever be able to audit its own operations? Getting sued is sometimes also not too bad as it can reveal bad practices within an organization. An analogy would be an X-ray, not entirely healthy but very revealing.
Really interesting, odd move imo. As others have said, this is a highly diverse industry, with entrenched players and smaller players as well. I think it's interesting to consider 'why'? Clearly Bezos thinks he can make money at it. A lot of money I'd wager.

The title would make more sense to the HN audience if it read:

"Navy Prosecutor Inserts Tracking Pixel Into Email Sent To Journalist, In Effort to Discover and Track Leak From Anonymous Source"

That would be a more technically accurate title that retains the spirit of the intended message.

The sender of the email was being deceptive, and attempted a poorly conceived effort to use a less than covert, but non-obvious loophole in technology that would fail to work on savvy users and technical folks.

Is it scummy? Yeah.

Is it secret? Nope.

Is it newsworthy? Definitely.

Is it respectable behavior? Not in the slightest.
Sure, I'll quote the original source linked to above from economist David Levine (who makes the case against copyright):

"we find that France, where copyright is introduced, the number of composers per million increased substantially more than in other countries."

I'm cherry picking this quote, but then again, this entire book cherry-picks examples that work in their favor.

I'm not arguing that patent or copyright law are correct. I think the patent system in particular needs a lot of reform. And copyrights are way too long.

What I am arguing is that copyright (specifically, I'm not getting into patents) helps creators profit off of their work, and that profit motive induces people to create content in the first place, at least some of the time. I'll add that from a moral perspective, I think that if you write a book, Amazon shouldn't be able to copy your book and start selling it for free without reimbursing you. Economist Grew Mankiw notes that he spoke with the authors of the book linked to above and asked (I assume jokingly) if they would mind if he made copies of the book and sold them for a profit and the authors didn't feel that that would be fair within the current system.
I'm curious about what the name means...anyone know?
I guess I'm a weirdo who likes shopping there. Compared to Kroger or HEB I usually walk out of Aldi with a bill 50% cheaper than the other stores. We have our own bags and a picnic like basket thing we keep in the truck for Aldi stops. Yes it's "generic" but my uncle worked for a big food company that made big brand food and "generic" is often just a label change over the brand name. I can see why the rich people would think it's like shopping for food at the salvation army. No selection, a quarter to get a cart, 4-6 isles, no in car delivery, you have to bag your stuff yourself. I'll take all of those inconveniences if it means I spend 50% less per trip to the grocery store to feed us.
> Why are there so many articles about facebook and not soda!

Because soda doesn't threaten Bloomberg or The New York Times' business model.
Okay, but that raises the question: what legal right do you think is being violated?

Just for the fun of it, I figured I'd try to log in and see if Google has any info on stuff I've purchased.

I'm over VPN so they insist this device isn't recognized (even though I've signed in from this exact machine, over this exact VPN connection, last week). Google helpfully offers to send me a security code over the phone.

Even better, though, it has a "Can't use your phone?" option. You know what happens if you click that option?

It takes you to a screen that says "You're trying to sign in on a device Google doesn't recognize. For your security, use your phone to show it's you signing in and not a hacker." and the only option on that screen is "Go back & use phone."

I think there's a joke about how to understand recursion here but I can't quite put my finger on it yet.
> There's a tiny but existent cost that's incurred every time formatting rules that aren't diff-stable result in a noisy code review that takes longer to read, or makes it harder for reviewers to discern the real changes from the formatting junk. There's a tiny but existent cost when excess delta makes it harder to gitblame.

Don't reformat code you didn't otherwise touch. That's just common sense. Common sense autoformatters lack.

> There's a tiny but existent cost when people have to stop and think about how to format their code manually.

I rarely think about how I format my code. When I do, it's because the code is hard to format in a readable way, in which case an autoformatter will produce garbage.

> Or when they have to stop and debate formatting.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."

> Or when they read someone else's code slightly more slowly because different formatting rules make it harder for them to skim it or rely on pattern recognition instead of careful reading to understand its structure.

Neglible. To the contrary, different formatting reminds you that you did not write this code and you should read it more carefully because you can't expect its creator to think the way you do.

Inching toward wearable millimeter-wave devices makes me pretty nervous about long term cancer effects. 5Ghz is pretty safe, but 140GHz? See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18666810 for a study on the effects of .1 THz (100 GHz) effect on lymphocytes, but I don't see a followup, and this is from 2008... so I don't know if I should bed worried or not but it gives me pause.
That's the discussion we're actively having now. My only concern is how to move the knowledge and context that's currently in Slack somewhere else. Also, who knows if Teams will actually catch on - though with Microsoft threatening to get rid of Skype, it'll end up being the more official looking meeting app anyways, so why not bring the rest along?
The "50 kinds of salsa" paralysis is so real. Some shops have a great selection, everything looks tasty, exciting, worthwhile to buy but you can only buy so much. In Lidl, there is no problem of choice, because much less to choose from, you are relieved from having to choose. I prefer it for staples.

It looks like it's just not very good at scraping my mail for purchases (which would be surprising) or it's just not showing me all of them.

I have a junk Gmail account that I sign up for everything with - retail store loyalty programs, accounts on various retail websites, etc etc. I have had the address for 6+ years and it thinks I've only bought 7 things - some concert tickets, a pair of gloves, and a pair of shoes.
I have both a G Suite email and regular @gmail.com address. I noted the same behavior you did. My custom domain no purchase history. Under gmail.com purchase history. Not sure if it can be enabled.
I mean the person just argued that it has to be solved at the national level. I think willingness of homeless people to stay in small to medium sized towns with bad winters depends on accessibility of student and tourist populations, but those balance of factors means they sleep in the snow to get their support, but the small town doesn't want to build a shelter and provide extra incentive to stay.

> That is the very definition of detachment.
> Feelings are the core part of you, and not separate from you

You are right. Then it is detachment but with feelings if it makes any sense to you. It's like you go beyond those feelings -- without excluding them.

> So whenever you begin to feel one or more of the following feelings[1] is it "natural, effortless" to experience your peace?

Yes because the peace you are talking about is what gives birth to all those feelings.

In other words, I no longer care about who goes to the toilet first.

And, it takes time for one to grow up. In that moment at the age of 4 no one could convince her that the pain/sadness she feels is self-made. One can argue that, those experiences are necessary to grow. But I'm sure we agree that it is a good thing to keep growing even after that.

It somewhat sounds like large companies are now just saying "we'll retire this ..." and then wait for the community and customers to give them arguments for why this is a bad idea.

The flip side is that on a story this big, they shouldn't publish if they won't be able to burn their sources if it turns out they're being played. If a source is too valuable to challenge, they're not worth enough to publish.
