Skimming the bash manpage every once in a while is important to stay out of information bubbles.

There are too many developers who rely only on Google/Stack Overflow to find and write answers to questions, and it's common to repeat bad, incomplete, or outdated information. I can think of a lot of times when the most accepted SO answer for many questions was "copy and paste this gigantic block of code" instead of using an existing command.
> I mean, fine. If you don't believe macroeconomics

That is a strawman against the argument and not brought forward in good faith. And macroeconomics does include the reality of countries using taxes to create a disincentive for consumption. Just like they do for domestic markets. There are a lot of these taxes in place from both sides.

Not saying the employment of taxes is generally a good idea. I wouldn't think they are with the intention to limit technology transfer, but there are certainly valid reasons.
> And how did Stalin get the idea?

Clearly you think that the only reason anyone, even a militant atheist, is ever against homosexuality is because they are religious or got the idea from religion.

As that's a belief not based on reason or facts, I won't try to argue you out of it. Been nice talking to you.
In this case, the social message implied in the headline is much more relevant than the content.

What is exactly the perspective that looks at the title of this article and thinks its perfectly OK?
Don't you think it's a bit less of a problem when it's isolated to a single vehicle intended for private travel? By this logic, it applies to every single road vehicle. What does it matter about whether it has a human or machine brain inside?
Misleading title. This appears to be a database of scraped data pertaining to Instagram influencers, left unsecured in AWS by a social media marketing firm.
Thanks for `man -t`!

It's actually 78 pages on my system (Debian, bash 4.4.12).

I've heard that OpenBSD has the best man pages that are more pleasant to read and more informative/concise.

slimv is pretty good
So true, and so worth mentioning :-)
He didn't attack your grandmother in any way. That's the sort of thing one feels when one is livid. HN is not a good place to post during living periods.
Some alternatives if the op-z isn’t quite hitting the spot for you:

Elektron Digitakt - powerful sampler / sequencer. No synth engine but you can make many synth sounds using single-cycle samples.

Elektron Digitone - same form-factor as above but with an fm synthesis engine (think yamaha dx7) instead of a sampler.

Novation Circuit - wayyy cheaper. Can play samples but not sample live. Powerful synth engine, not fully editable without a computer. Good for live improve with pre-composed patterns.
You can see some ground from the cockpit.

Wow, it’s quite expensive, especially in comparison with recent gen of affordable synths.
I'm probably going to take a lot of heat from all the young whippersnappers out there for this, but I absolutely love your comment about React. I'm going to save it. It totally describes my experiences with other developers. They want to use React to re-write major portions of our codebase that work perfectly well as is, just because React is super awesome! Can you guess how many of our customers have complained that our website isn't a single page application? I'll give you a hint, it's less than one. The devs will also make little teeny projects that would take less than an hour to write in Vanilla JS and make this big 20 hour development project that has a monolithic codebase that all the sudden needs routers and back button integration and url mangling and gigantic switch statements to draw the correct "page." Oh and don't forget you have to set up all that webpack and and compiling routines so that you can compile all that garbage into other garbage. And then you also have to do that build over and over again for every change. This is JavaScript. Script is in the name. It's not meant to be a compiled language. And contrary to our dev's beliefs, React does not run or draw faster than Vanilla JS, unless you are constantly redrawing the whole page in Vanilla JS, which no one does. I hate React.
Again, Facebook/Instagram servers are not breached but the people that they sell data are breached. Once the data the sell leaves original servers, the data is no longer secure, it can be stolen or misused. Remember Cambridge Analytics?

Facebook really needs to enforce strict restrictions and security audits on third party data brokers.
That's a good point. However, many regulators get hot with high loads. Also, the short circuit projection of some regulators is to burn out. Given all these problems and the relative carelessness of kids, I can see why they would dig through spec sheets and would measure temperature under various conditions.
> virtualenv is not installed by default

It is, but it's called venv these days:

python3 -m venv my_venv

(Unless you're sticking to a very old version of Python, but in that case there's nothing the Python developers could do about it.)
This! I've noticed a pattern recently of headlines that person X or company Y "knew all the way back in the 70s/80s". The real tragedy is that we have delayed doing anything about it for so long, people are now "rediscovering" the original warnings as if they are historical revelations.

As a quick refresher: the original climate deal, the Kyoto Protocol, was signed in 1992, by then everyone was well on board with the science. In fact, the climate negotiations were spun off from the convention on reducing CFCs (Vienna Convention of 1985), which are important greenhouse gases as well as being damaging to the ozone layer. It was thought (correctly) at the time that because CFCs were produced and used in a limited number of places, it would be much easier to resolve that problem and move the wider greenhouse gas negotiations into a separate treaty, which took another 7 years until 1992.
First let's dig more shallow. Op asked why we don't do anything if everyone involved wants something done. The answer is we vote for it and we do do something. It just so happens the severity of the homeless problem is in equilibrium with political will. Now to dig deeper.

>You’ll find plenty of dirt poor rural people that would benefit from entitlement programs just as much.

The big difference is in an urban area even the non homeless want to solve homelessness because it's a public nuisance that directly affects them. See any thread here complaining about sf. In rural areas poverty is a much more private problem.

As for Vermont, you're cherry picking. By and large it is undeniable that the Republican/Democrat divide follows an urban rural line. The exceptions are parts of the deep South (where the racial divide is more prominent), and parts of the coasts where liberalism is so dominant even the rural areas are blue. I don't know the mechanism for the latter, but if I had to guess I'd say a big part of the rural population in those areas aren't farmers but retired professionals living in mcmansions. I know people like that but let's not get into anecdotes.

I'm going to double down here. It's not just attitudes on entitlement programs that are influenced by rational interest among urban and rural residents. Literally every hot button political issue can be understood in these terms.

Take guns for instance. Guns in cities are synonymous with gun crime. Owning one is deeply impractical and police response times are fast enough that you don't need one. In a rural area guns are still practical and police response times are slow.

Take endowments for the arts. Guess where the all the state subsidized art ends up. Hint: it's not Topeka Kansas.

Want me to keep going?
I felt the same, until I realized that you don't WANT to code ON the iPad.

Just grab Blink, a really nice Mosh client for iOs, and rent a small linux box from whatever cloud provider you like (I use scaleway, because they are dirt cheap and super convenient).

Thanks to LTE you've now got an always on remote terminal, that can perform arbitrarily heavy compute tasks, without having any impact on portability or battery life.

It's even good for you as a dev, because you'll get better at your CLI Foo, and because you're SSH'd into a remote machine all day anyways, having to do it in production when something goes wrong is a lot less stressful.

Also if you wanna do pair programming, you can simply share your TMux session with somebody else, or give them access to whatever web frontent, notebook, whatever, port you're running.

It feels strange at first but it's amazing once you get aclimated.
What about the Circle line? :)

(Oh, it isn't run in a continuous circle anymore, after a 2009 extension to Hammersmith. Shame.)
Lengthy conversation about this from the original article when TechCrunch broke this[0] a couple of days ago.

Would you please drop the nasty rhetoric and not do programming language flamewars on HN? They lead to harsher, dumber discussion, and ultimately cause a forum to destroy itself. Learning from those past lessons was one of the motivations for starting Hacker News years ago, and it's not like we want to forget them now.

Edit: we've had to ask you half a dozen times in the past not to post aggressively and uncivilly on HN. Would you please fix this? Reviewing the site guidelines should make it clear what we're looking for instead.

Thank you, I can relate to this so much. It is the end which seems difficult. Showing the project to a few people before it is "finished" sounds very helpful and now that I think of it, I have done that in the past as well. Will keep that in mind for future work. Thanks again.
That's pretty solid space heater.
Most of information there is not worth having in my "brain cache" at all, and especially not worth refreshing it regularly. Life is too short to even trying to remember the things like what's the difference between .bash_profile .profile .bashrc .inputrc and .bash_login (bonus point for remembering what is redirected to what in the files themselves in which distribution) or what the hell is a "login shell" and what is not. And there are many such details that are effectively useless for 99.99% of the users but they just have to survive the suffering to fix the darn thing when they have some issue.

I'm sure even most of the readers here can't give a one line answer what is the "right" and "general" way to preset a darn variable for a shell. By design of all these artifacts we work with, it necessarily leads to a page-length discussion of which shells exist and what their differences are and whatnot. Such a waste of everybody's mental energy on a global level.

How to Apply for Software Engineering Internships at Startups
You'd be surprised how often it happens... to work
It's a lot cheaper in to do this in the US and with a long term view, my total outlay was under $3000 for a z800, z114, ds6800 all in with transportation. I also temporarily had two DS8870s but resold them because they were worth a lot more than I paid and I will pick up another for cheaper over the course of this year. Both of my frames have HMCs, the z114 was even IBM banded and "MSQ" maintenance service qualified which means they'd come and set it back up for some not-too-outrageous monthly fee if it were in production use.

The z800/z890 are probably optimal for hobby use even though they are old because they have modest power requirements and are relatively light and not too wide like the z114 which is absolutely massive.

Actually a P/390 (MCA or PCI card), or Multiprise 3000 (deskside hybrid CMOS/PC server thing) would be even easier but those are very very old 31-bit systems at this point. (I also have a R/390 setup and can comment on that if desired)

Now that said, this requires A LOT of dedication to get right. You need to understand at minimum shipping/transport issues, as well as electrical requirements and installation (or be willing to consult someone that can advise you on phase and conversion if necessary).

After that, you definitely need an HMC (a PC used to do things like load the OS) or at least a recovery disk and a lot of patience to set that up in emulation or on other hardware.

And then, you need a FICON (or older ESCON) capable array. Connor Krukosky goes into detail about what it's like without that, and you are extremely limited (basically Linux) in what you can do without FICON. A ds6800 is the easiest way to do that because it is a small rackmount unit, but they are also in demand for that reason. DS8ks are quite cheap all things considered, but serious iron like the frame itself.

And then finally you need some OS media which is also non-trivial to get (although there is or was some "out there" on file sharing).

I am willing to help anyone interested in this kind of thing for fun and preservation of incredible technology and history.
And yet Australian dairy farmers constantly complain about low prices and going bankrupt. This has been going on for years. The complaint doesn't add up.

There's more than enough milk powder to go around, people are fighting over the premium ones.
I'm not a climate scientist, so I let the experts battle it out and then look at the scientific consensus. I trust experts in all areas of my life, because I don't have the time to become an expert myself. Following the consensus is a fine choice if you're a politician and your task is to ensure that future generations have a chance to live a more prosperous life.
But the US has been at or under replacement rate for births overall for a long time now.

I'm an exmormon, birth rates are higher for Mormons, certainly, but even they've been obviously dropping. I had three batchmates out of 9 in the missionary training center with 10+ kids in their family. That used to be relatively common, now it's almost unheard of for newer families.
ive been impatiently waiting for this for a while, now i can finally start working towards moving over there
You're correct, but this is a mostly academic distinction on a network like Hong Kong's. The gap between trains is a much more important human metric, and it changes based on where you are in the network.

An example: you could fill as many trains as you could physically fit on a track coming from Central (the CBD) during rush hour; a train every 30 seconds or so is crucial to keeping things civil on the platform. As you get farther from Central, utilization falls until you reach a terminal station, where the time between trains can be more like 2-3 minutes without any problems. Through clever signaling you can achieve a much higher perceived throughput on the busiest stretches without actually running more trains.
It's hard to say – most Instagram influencers provide a public contact email +/- phone number for "business enquiries".

Could be that the data that is listed was previously on the profile but not currently (or matched from another service) vs acquired directly.
I'd believe the simulations are reproducible. However, re-running the atmosphere of the earth is certainly not an experiment anyone has reproduced. There's at least some room for questioning whether the simulations have sufficient fidelity to predict a chaotic system 50-100 years into the future.

Arguing this topic doesn't do me any good. It's like trying to tell a devout christian you think there's room for doubt and uncertainty about whether the apocalypse is coming. Most people just lock their heels and reinforce their current beliefs. This message will probably fade away into a light shade of grey, making me wonder why I even bothered.

However, every time I see someone trot out the word "concensus", as though that's relevant to good science, I grind my teeth.
Very cool. This is engineering at its best.
The wikipedia page about the Pioneer Fund is fairly damning even if you exclude the comments by the SPLC et al.
Reminds of of a comedy skit that was filmed in Australia a decade ago.

Someone dressed as a stereotypical "American tourist" and started filming places (Sydney Harbour Bridge and a Nuclear research facility).

Then they had someone dress up as a stereotypical "Arab/Mulslim terrorist" and did the same thing to see what happened when he started filming.

Only footage of it I could find was this which is 240p - but is enough to get the idea of what it was about:

This looks great! Is there an equivalent for zsh users?
"This way, you have no residence in Germany at all, and also you're there for less than 183 days per year, so they really have no claim to your taxes."

Be careful with this. I don't know about Germany in particular, but in many countries tax residency isn't as simple as whether you were present for >=183 days.

Take the UK as an example. The relevant legislation (Finance Act 2013) defines a 'Statutory Residence Test'. It's complicated enough that HMRC (UK equivalent of IRS) created a booklet to help you understand how it applies in your own situation.

That booklet is 105 pages long: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rdr3-statutory-re...

Even if you spend only 3 days/week in the UK, it's possible to become tax resident there, and is more likely if you do it for 2 years in a row.

It's not the same, but if you'd like to have a go at mainframe technologies you can do it with a Pi Zero:

I think this comes from purely emotional perception of, well, life. And pure emotions are bad advisers more often than not. Rational view would be, no matter what religion (or lack thereof) - body after death is just a pile of fast decomposing organic material, nothing important neither for living nor deceased.

I have much more respect for some eastern religions like Zoroastrians or some Buddhists in Tibet/high Nepal who chop the bodies of their close ones and leave it to predators. That's a true expression of proper belief in their religions.

People can't stand sight of their close one decomposing (apart from some remote tribes who have mummies/skulls of ancestors around the house), some would even be properly traumatized, but yet there is some obscure need to have the same biological matter confined somewhere where they can come and feel 'connected' again. Wouldn't a photo/3D model/hologram of the person achieve the same?

I mean, I wouldn't care less if somebody brings some flowers to my grave or lights candles. Just remember me when convenient, some good experiences and I will be glad
I see your point. However, even if being an American(or any other nationality) was merit by itself, why would you demand government involvement in the hiring process?

If being an American is a merit, then companies could choose to hire based on this merit.

I'm just trying to understand that way of thinking. Maybe they think it's a merit but are insecure about it and demand recognition for because their experience shows that companies do not value this merit enough?
i don't like that these devices don't use any sort of graphics accelerators though. that seems to be the most "fun" part of programming the retro architectures these things are inspired by. it's a pity there isn't any market for such chips anymore. i guess an FPGA is an option.
On a different note, the book "Functional C" teaches C programming to ML functional programmers. Quite interesting and gives a new perspective to C programmers on their favourite language.
I am astounded that after all this time it is still 0.y.z

I mean, it has been around for like 5+ years...

I am even more astounded that people are happy to use a product that by its own definition is not stable.

Same happen in ruby a lot. You find a Gem that claims to follow semantic versioning and it is still in 0.y.z after years of being used in production which flies in the face of https://semver.org/#how-do-i-know-when-to-release-100

I've heard of ISPs blocking ports, but not in Europe. I just forward ports 80 and 443 to the server (and pinhole the IPv6 ports) and it's done.

The upstream bandwidth is about 60Mb/s, which is fine for almost everything.
Another interesting part of getting PR by marriage: you only have to live in Japan one year. You could get married in another country, live there 2 years minimum and then move to Japan and get PR after only one year of residency.

You can look at the impact of the various train and tube driver unions strikes in Paris, there's usually at least one every few years and the cost are usually in the millions
I see where you're coming from, but I think it's the attitude of the developer that's more important. I've learned a good deal of Bash from places like SO, but I've always tried to learn why the command is like that, and I've found other sources more useful than man. If someone is the kind of developer who blindly copies and pastes chunks of code from SO then there are bigger problems than not using man.
That is the future of tunneling. If we had tech that could dig tunnels the size of a big tube this would be quite a big advancement. Shrinking the equipment seems to be one way forward for tunnel digging.
OpenBSD man pages are what engineering documents should be. The contrast with Linux's is astounding.
If each person has half the chance of a normal person and since if either one are chosen then the other is chosen, wouldn't their odds be (1/2 + 1/2) = 1 unweighted chance of being selected?

Multiplying the odds by 2 (making your chance 2/4) lets you use this analogy: If you had a bag with 2 marbles labeled 1, along with and one 2 and one 3 marble, your chance of drawing either a 2 or a 3 is the same as drawing the 1 marble. This still works if you add more marbles to the mix, as long as they're weighted to be pulled twice as often as the 2 or 3 marble.
Because when another company fills the void they'll know what happens if you don't think about these issues and risk getting shut down themselves.

That opens up the possibility of benevolent actors filling the void. Or, someone at least as bad but better at playing the government.
