I've a friend who joined FB recently and he said, quote, yes yes I know it's evil but it's so interesting.

So there you have it in a nutshell straight from the horse's mouth, as it were.
I don't think there's a solution that works 99% of the time yet. Personally, I've found the Call Filter app via Verizon, to be far more effective than any of the other apps. I've heard similar things from coworkers regarding the AT&T filtering app too. See if your carrier has something.
Google fonts tends to have a lot of the really popular open license fonts.
About 6 or 7 years ago I was searching for a language that had great concurrency built in and a sane enough model of concurrency that would allow me to get things done.

Eventually I found and fell in love with gevent because I could write fairly straightforward code in a synchronous fashion and reason about the code a lot easier than other models. But then I found some warts with gevent: what about good community support? What about exploiting parallelism? Monkey patching 3rd party libs is a bit ugly and not 100% without faults.

So imagine how I felt when I found that Go offers this model of concurrency CSP with support for parallelism due to the M to N threading model. Also a not quite but close enough Python looking syntax and at that point I never looked back.

Sure there other models of concurrency and other languages that are also proving to be useful. But Go has been a good bet...at least for now.

And I know this is controversial...but Go’s time is running out...other languages are getting there with more advanced support for asynchronous programming...so I imagine in due time I’ll be onto the next thing.
Yes, sure. I do technical due diligence for a living and when researching a particular company every time I come across another interesting link that hasn't changed color yet I open another tab. Then I just keep reading until there are no more tabs open, and no more interesting notes to take. It's part of my workflow (and one of the reasons why the scrapbook add-on is essential to me, another reason I do my work on the older machine).

Why Canada?
My point is that they are able to own the decision only because the public opinion has accepted it as a new reality. If CockroachDB was the first OSS database company to do this, they would have a much harder time explaining their rationale. MongoDB et al have paved the way for them.
Is there any CVE on it published already? It'd be very funny if yes or if someone publishes one following Vim's.

"In the first episode of “Chernobyl” the nuclear reactor explodes, blows the top off the building, and catches on fire. The plant workers vomit, their faces turn red, and several appear to die.

We see a plant worker in his twenties hold open a door to the reactor hall and various parts of his body start to bleed. He rescues a comrade with a red, blistered, and bloody face, and appears to leave him for dead in a hall. Later we see the man slumped over and smoking what appears to be his last cigarette.

Later, the plant manager who was in denial about the accident becomes violently ill after he learns the true scale of the disaster. As he leaves for the hospital, we see a fireman who is carrying a body on a stretcher collapse and drop the body.

I was left thinking that dozens of workers and firefighters were immediately killed, but according to the official United Nations report (p. 66) on the accident, just two workers, not dozens, or hundreds, were killed within a few hours of the explosion."
The Worst Movie on IMDB
As long as you exclude China from the world - they mostly use AOSP variants with no Google Services.
I don't like the change but I understand their point of view. It's also commendable how Cockroack Labs has conducted this in a professional manner.
That coincides with a note that says "bot activity". Not sure how much of that spike you can actually attribute to the iPhone SE.
IMDB is viewer ratings, not critics.
16K panels and 2K inverters, man, if Sacramento weren't such a hike from Seattle, I'd pop down and pick up a little something to put on the roof at home. I mean, two thousand inverters? Stick around to the end and they've got to be begging you to take them home, or I'm showing my abject ignorance of the California industrial inverter market.
As a mid-level Chernobyl geek, I found this show generally underwhelming. I admit it may hold much more interest for those who are not yet familiar with the story. But I must say, there are so many things which could have been done spectacularly, and instead we got a very pedestrian TV affair, with ample use of disaster movie and horror movie cliches and tropes, and basic bitch cinematography. Chernobyl should deserve a more flavorful adaptation if anything does. I also hate the gray-blue color grading, it would have been far more interesting to portray Pripyat as the rather vivid and young city which it was, with warmer color tones and more humane elements, instead of defaulting to dumb USSR cliches.
Isn’t that exactly what they are doing and saying in this blog post?
I was actually pleasantly surprised about how fairly this show portrayed nuclear energy.

Sure, it shows the scary side of nuclear energy and how badly things can go wrong. But it also highlights how many bad decisions led to this catastrophe and how many deaths could have been prevented if it hadn't been for the secrecy and lies of the Soviet system. It made me oddly reassured about the safeguards we have in place today.
Carbon Dioxide is literally plant food except to the climate-change-death-cult.
Var tech failed during CAF final, chaos ensued
My knee-jerk reaction is to agree with you, but I think we're doing what every generation does... Things aren't as different as they seem.

> I never see the kids in my neighborhood doing that. I've never seen any of them leave the street, and always with the parents on the patio, chatting with each other. The last time I saw a roving band of 9-to-13 year-olds biking around town was probably the early 2000s.

I dunno... I see "roving bands of kids on bikes" a lot. Also kids playing unattended in vacant lots/etc. Perhaps it's because I work from home and am therefore in a residential neighborhood when school gets out. I never noticed "roving kids" when I worked downtown and didn't get home until 6-ish.

Kids will always be kids. They'll always find ways to get away and be unsupervised. For our generation, most shenanigans happened on the way home from school, anyway. That's still unsupervised time. I feel like kids today interact differently due to omnipresent communication, but they certainly still wander around and get "into trouble" pretty regularly.

I think we also forget how much of our time was supervised. Sure, I played with friends down by the creek and out in the woods, but someone usually knew exactly where we were, and we were rarely out of shouting distance. We remember the crazy romps around wherever, but we forget how much of the time a parent was just around the corner. It's really not so different today.
I agree with that and it is one of the main reasons why I personally don't care for Open Source and make a huge distinction between it and Free Software.
all of the difficulties I foresee have to do with multiprocessing/sharing/context switching...

I'd like to be able to park a high performance actor on a particular CPU, and have it consuming its "inbox" queue, no context switches necessary.

my guess is that only one logical program can use the scratchpad at a time?

How about registers or a scratchpad which has async pub/sub semantics? One CPU can write, and the rest can read? A mechanism like that would use the same hardware which already supports cache coherency, but would let programmers forget about a lot of potential headaches.
For those who haven't read the article, the prediction is based solely on climate change, not on other factors (predicting up to 3 degrees centigrade increase in mean temps globally by 2050 in comparison to pre-industrial levels, which as far as I know is on the extreme side of most predictions). It is also from Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration, which obviously is probably slightly biased toward alarmism regarding climate change.

To me as a pragmatist, climate change is a foregone conclusion at this point and we should be exploring ways to cope with it and engineer around it.
Did anyone else find themselves wondering, "WTF does Paraguay care about Chernobyl so much more than most of Europe?"

Disclaimer: I miss the point a lot.
I don’t know if monopoly is the right word, but if I want to share messages with my family and friends reliably, I have to use their devices.

I could conceivably convince everyone around me to switch to WhatsApp or similar. But in practice I don’t think that’s likely so I just only buy Apple devices.

Apple also lied to us about this, claiming FaceTime would be an open protocol. I don’t think they ever said the same about iMessage.

I think there is both fraud and federal telecommunications law being violated in these acts, but I don’t have the resources to sue Apple.
While that frequently seems to be the case, just reading their informational page about it seems to show that the functionality of this app is simply being moved to their other apps, namely Google Maps. This could be argued to be bloating up Maps, but this will also mean those features will probably be used by a lot more people now (and thus they'll make even more money in advertising).

Honestly, I don't see the problem here.
Yes, because it still makes those SEO links. But more so that if you do a good press release you can cross link it on sites with higher SEO ratings. Like here if it makes it to the front page. Even if it doesn't go anywhere beyond the 'new' section a search engine will eventually pick it up.

I wouldn't pay $300 is worth it. Just do it yourself or hire a reputable PR firm. the best path to go to forums like Reddit. Talk about your product, get feedback, and build a community. Thats worth more than any press release.

What if context-free grammars were as easy to use as regular expressions?
A static mixer does not qualify as a stability augmentation system. SAS uses feedbacks from the state of the vehicle to change the plant dynamics.
How is Apple suppose to do “manual” checks to ensure that data sent to the app makers server is not then sent to third parties?

Your design gives way too much credit to the average user who is not clamoring for any app that is not on the App Store.

Where is the killer app that’s available for Android but not for iOS that making its developer serious money?
I've dumped Chrome altogether since FF 67 was released.

My only gripe is they still aren't blocking ALL ads, but regardless it's a way better user experience now than it ever was.

Firefox 67 feels like a whole new beast compared to their older versions.

If you haven't tried FF for a while I recommend doing so and I suggest trying it across multiple devices. The tab management, syncing, pinning and sending etc. across multiple devices is awesome.
My early years were in the Bay Area and Sacramento and I shake my head at the things we did (late 80s). My girlfriend grew up in Santa Cruz and the things her and her siblings did, she never will let her daughter do. And it's less about helicopter parenting/etc and more about the addict/criminal element that has crept in to a good deal of the city. More freedom as they get older, but there are things I never had to deal with - rampant numbers of unstable individuals.
It is really a great show.

We lived close enough to Chernobyl that if the winds blew a different way we would have been seriously affected by it. And I remember when it happened. The announcement on evening news (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuWIIiTLbFM). My dad saying "if that's what they admit to on the news, the situation is many times worse" and how we should all be very worried.

Then the refugees coming to our city, and how the locals had this irrational fear and hate toward them, thinking they were "radioactive" or brought "bad luck". The promises of new apartments for the liquidators, and how some, of course, never lived long enough to enjoy them.

Anyway, in the show, I think, they went above and beyond to make it authentic. Anything from the smallest details like the decor, clothes, the buildings, the things they say, the mannerisms, all of that. The lack of "Russian" accents, a common criticism I heard, never bothered me. Even the fictitious character of Ulana Khomyuk was very representative of what a woman scientist might have looked or behaved like. She reminded me of my chemistry teacher from high school.
It's basically Arial Rounded MT Bold which is even worse imo
It's a lot easier for me to switch phones or services than it is for me to switch jurisdictions.
Here's a heatmap distribution of IMDB rankings of movies by the year they were released: https://minimaxir.com/img/imdb-data-analysis/imdb-4.png

It's less of a recency bias (the trend is mostly flat by year of movie release), but both ends of the spectrum are more extreme for movies in the last decade.
Well they keep adding more stuff to it, including (according to the linked google page about this issue) functionality from the now-discontinued Google Trips app.
The only messaging controlled by Apple is iMessage and it integrates with SMS.
I read this faster than it took Wired to render the text on their article’s page, and I think your comment is more info-dense.

Although the ads & graphics were loaded, with the text highlights in place it looked like a weird redacted document.
And I thought "Limor" was just an alias and they typo'd "Fired", as in the founder of Adafruit was getting fired.
It is rock solid with 100's of tabs open

Thanks for mentioning this right off of the bat. Often you see folks complaining about how "version XYZ of software ABC" is "too slow" or "buggy" and then 27 comments later they make it clear that they have a very nonstandard use case.

I want to be very, very clear: there is nothing "wrong" with having 100s of tabs open, and it certainly would be good if all browsers worked just as well with 500 tabs as a single tab. I'm on your side!

But, in general, people making sweeping statements about software in public have what I feel is a responsibility to be clear when they're using it in ways that are off the beaten path.

Like if I complained about "Windows being buggy", and it turned out I was using a copy of Windows 95 as a substitute for a proper realtime operating system for my spaceship's navigation computer, that's something I really ought to mention upfront.

(Not that having large numbers of tabs is that outlandish, or outlandish at all)
I’m iOS 13 Siri is now interoperable with other maps and music providers on CarPlay. Apple is changing.

Something really unusual is happening then. I'd second trying with a new profile. You can get general troubleshooting advice at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-takes-long-time...

I think the ratings are clearly manipulated. All new releases somehow start with stellar ratings before sinking in after a few months.

That being said I was about to complain that Chernobyl didn't deal with the most interesting part, how the explosion happened in the first place, but the last episode did exactly that. I agree that it is an excellent mini-series.

Though the explantion in the tv show pretty much mirror the wikipedia article.
I really like this company, and their developers. Solid tech vision and the actual tech chops to pull it off.

I don't like the drama that seems to surround it.

This post is just one more vote in the "this company has a lot of drama associated with it", and that to me is always a giant blinking warning sign.

Without knowing anything about them (though I do), at this point, I would bet this company flames out eventually, fails to get further funding, and institutes yet another license change to milk the dying cow while the talent flees for greeter pastures. Best case they get acquired by Microsoft, worst case Oracle (I'm sure their users would love that). Or just fade away.

Anyway, my $0.02. I hope I'm wrong.
Basically, labeling products the customer is most likely to purchase.

but, pessimistically or realistically, I expect they are also training customers to blindly trust the black box and eventually the criteria will change towards maximizing short-term value.
This looks great! Does anyone know if there exists something similar in Python?
> Searching for “Goyard,” a French company whose bags usually retail for thousands of dollars, often displays a $25 knockoff as Amazon’s Choice.

Wow, this sounds like lawsuit material.

It's one thing to unwittingly carry counterfeit products. It's another thing entirely to actually endorse one.
Hey,

So... not that I think it's necessarily easy but how did you score such a lucrative gig at google? How can I do the same? Do they hire generalists? Thanks.
The nightmare employee in this situation is the "rockstar".
This is purely anecdotal, but I've noticed recently a trend of reviews that start with "I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review..." and they almost always include photos. True, these are easy enough to skim over, but people planting fake reviews could also be getting smarter and making their reviews seem real by including pictures.
> generally speaking when people in government fuck up, they have to deal with repercussions and consequences.

Re-election rates for congressmen over the years hovers at around 90%. Senators are around 85%. Perhaps they're all doing a great job, but I'm skeptical

Ha! I think I'm finally correct against you :-)

"AtomicExchange" is just a swap. It is NOT a compare-and-swap, so there's no Weak vs Strong version. A pure-swap is probably faster to implement than a compare-and-swap in microcode, but I admit that I've never actually tested this theory.
If I had to guess? Try disabling webrender on the new computer. Firefox is rolling this out by default but if your GPU sucks or has fucked up drivers for whatever reason it can cause severe performance issues.

goto about:config and search for gfx.webrender.enabled and make sure it's set to false.

EDIT: More info on the rollout https://www.ghacks.net/2019/05/20/firefox-webrender-rollout-...
How is that any different from game makers choosing not to support every console?
“Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni Et Proportionalita” to be sold
Quick question : my company uses a "devops as a service" partner. Basically we pay a monthly fee to have their guys on call 24/7 in case something starts to go wrong. Additionally they update and manage our kubernetes cluster, installing and setuping any dependency we require. From our point of view, we have a fully managed kubernetes cluster.

Financially, we pay AWS for EC2 instances and other expenses + them on top of that for consulting service, they have root access to the cluster. We do not have any devops/infra guy in the office.

Would they be allowed to install (and manage) CockroachDB on our cluster if we need to ?

Not only this, but these investors had to know, before investing, that Zuck had this control of the company and that they wouldn't get any power at all. So they have no cause to complain.
cypto is a scam. EVRERY CRYPTO ICO was a security.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, ALL CRYPTO IS A FUTURES CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF A LICENSE FOR FUTURE ACCESS TO A DIGITAL SYSTEM. this includes NFC TOKENS WHERE THE CRYPTO IS A LICENSE TO OWN THE TOKEN AND EXERCISED UPON OWNERSHIP.

the bottom line is that if you have a market for things that are being traded , and they are not consumed at the point of trade/exchange ( one of the objects doens't disappear) , then the objects , the digital objects can be stored for ever and are being traded for consumption potentially at some future date, or retrading again in the future.

they are ALL FUTURES PRODUCTS to the extent they are potentially consumable.

thus-----the entire last few years is a scam. the cftc shoudl have come in an put an end to everything then. they didn't...for a reason, to encourage financializaiton and bubble blowing. which might not be such a bad thing temporarily, but right now it's clearly a scam to lure in the dubmest money just like securitization was. so qui bono? and qui loso?
A 30% cut of what? The core costs are in the deployment of the servers, network, security, management, etc.
It would be more interesting to follow the evolution day by day of the rating from release date to until it stabilizes after a year or two.
Luckily I haven't had a bad experience yet. I've found some reviews to be a little more positive then I would expect, but I would take people being overly generous then the review cesspools I have stumbled upon on Steam or IMBD/Rotten Tomatoes.
> But they have that money today. They can spend it on lawyers.

Lawyers know that they cannot be paid with that money. If they lose it will be forfeited. Similarly you can't rob a bank and use the money to pay your lawyer.

> It’s not like anything will happen to the executives.

That's absolutely not true. It's not unreasonable to expect that the SEC might refer people to the DOJ for criminal prosecution and jail time would send a nice signal.
I don't disagree, but I'm curious, what could have been "done spectacularly"?
I feel like HN is filled with people who couldn't care less about NASCAR. That being said, crowdfunding racers isn't out of the question, look at Josh Wise and the Dogecoin car.
If you ever disable iMessage you permanently lose access to all group chats. Messages will just silently fail to deliver.
As does Sony over PlayStation, Microsoft over XBox, and Nintendo over their consoles.
If protecting your kids from injury or death isn’t sufficient incentive, I don’t really think prosecution will make a difference.

But I’m curious why parents aren’t anchoring these to the walls in the first place. I don’t think it’s malice. Ignorance? Too much trouble? Not handy enough to do it themselves? Believing the drawers won’t fall over?

(I’m a parent and had IKEA furniture when our kids were young and I anchored it, but I’m handy and like to think responsible.)
Got excited about an open source reactor pattern
Yes but that is not the point. The point is that it is unfair that just by collecting a huge pile of money from investors you can grab the profits in an entire industry, considering also that creating a food delivery portal isn't exactly rocket science. I.e. literally anyone could do it.

I think governments should deeply think about what is happening with platform economies, and perhaps they should strongly regulate them. An extreme view could be that running platforms is a task for governments.

Also, DSPs are now using restaurants to eventually bootstrap their dark kitchen concept, which is unfair. It's like Uber using human drivers to bootstrap their driverless cars business.
