"Yet there is but one contemporary direct translation from the German for to lie."

> 1. Lügen
> 2. Schwindeln

You would find many more translations for "to lie" in a broader sense.
I have this same problem. I solve it by calling them or texting them and asking for updates.
thought for you:
Can i as a German contradict this article without setting an example for it?
It must be scary, imagine being this influential to the global economy.

His advances literally dictate the efficiency of 2% of the worlds power output, and that's just one metric of influence.
As a parent, one kid is involved with a theater group that organizes shows through facebook. School parents tend to communicate through facebook too. Of smaller significance, my regular poker game organizes games over facebook too.

All that added up to me begrudgingly returning to facebook.
indeed, there are some acquaintances who consume books 'filtered' via blinkist ^^). all in the hope of claiming in their conversation circles of how broadly read they are.

> Either Intel has something strong about to appear

People are hypothesizing this to be true given that Apple is putting Intel rather than AMD chips in the Mac Pro, and Apple doesn’t usually make dumb purchasing decisions, but does sometimes have private access to product roadmaps.
> As Stephen Frears, the director of High Fidelity, worked to translate the best moments of the Nick Hornby novel on which the movie was based, he found to his surprise that the best moments were the voice-overs, especially the direct speeches of Rob Gordon (John Cusack) to the camera.

> Frears said, “What we realized was that the novel was a machine to get to twelve crucial speeches in the book about romance and art and music and list-making and masculine distance and the masculine drive for art and the masculine difficulty with intimacy.”

> This is the case for most novels: you have to read seven hundred pages to get the handful of insights that were the reason the book was written, and the apparatus of the novel is there as a huge, elaborate, overbuilt stage set.
Commenters on HN often lack basic economic sensibility, the comments related to material business issues, particularly finance and economics are odd.

My point #1, is the opposite of ridiculous, it's the point.

Companies dominate by making money, that's what they care about.

Do you not grasp that Samsung, Huawei, end everyone else would instantly trade their position for Apple's?

Do you not think that Apple's 50x greater profits doesn't give them enormous leverage?

That Apple is selling into a competitive market, and still yields profits and margins massively greater than others is pretty amazing, it doesn't happen in other industries.

Apple is clearly the dominant power in mobile, and their next rival is not a handset maker, it's Google.

As to my original point: Apple is a huge, powerful and important company, and others will take note of what they do. They are a 'leader' in every sense of the term, it would be 'ridiculous' to deny that.

When America's most profitable and admired company that manufactures stuff in China decides to leave - it's a shockwave.
Can we please stop this canard? The youngest millennials are in their mid to late 20s, and the oldest are in their late 30s. Please stop generalizing an entire generation that for the first time in American history is expected to be worse off than their parents.
It's never been awful for me. Even when running it on an iPhone 6S, it has always been nice and responsive.
> when you move to a new role in the same company and you realize 3 months later that your manager is terrible

This can be generalized to advice:

Switch jobs, or at least managers, a few times, so you can get a feel for what kinds of managers there are.
"Couples are getting married later, so they are more willing to pay"
Yet the example in the article is 26

I wonder if this increase is largely in people who in the past would've gotten married in their teens. By those people not getting married until they're in their mid 20s, they have access to the kind of debt that can blown on a fancy enough wedding. In lieu of feeling like you'll ever have access to the means to buy a house, you might not care too much about racking up 10-15k on a wedding.
The state corrects for market failures, which no other institution can. It can also pool risk much more efficiently than a corporation can.

I'd say the current state (US or UK) isn't far off from what you describe.
Climate of guilt: Flying no longer the high road for some
Tread carefully, very carefully. The next level looks enticing when you are looking at it from the distance. But once you arrive, it can quickly turn into hell.

I have been in both sub-contract situations and setup a consulting firm with team of engineers, etc. The "next level" means that you spend a lot of time selling, negotiating, billing, collecting monies, managing your team, etc. Once you get to the level of 5+ engineers you are running a business full-time and won't have time to do any technical work.

What burnt me out was that clients are slow to pay, demand changes, nit pick, etc and I still had to pay my employees. With a payroll, insurance, biz costs of $120,000+ a month, things went south very fast.

If you hire the best staff you can get, then you pay a lot. If you try to hire cheaper staff then you end up having to fix up their mistakes, shortcomings.

These days, I sub-contract through companies that I have long-term experience and relationship with - they handle all the biz stuff and I can focus on the technical work. Their markup is worth it in terms of the work-life balance that I enjoy.
I am interested in this too.

The past 12 years I've been doing automation of various types, so I've forgotten much of the Data Structures and Algorithms I learn in college.
Like anything else you can overdo it. But, at a minimum, you will often want (somewhat overlapping) professional and personal groups. They made sense especially at a time when many people were realizing they didn't want all their social media to be one undifferentiated bucket.
I am learning High German (in Switzerland) and the writing style and general approach in this article to the words' literal translations and the aggressive cultural characterizations bothered me, for a reason I can't quite put into words. Ich habe keine Ahnung.
I went to Japan last year and speak rudimentary japanese. One big challenge for taxi use was always explaining where I needed to go. If I could have plugged in the address in an app, I would have saved myself some confusion. That said, the Tokyo taxi drivers know the city better than any driver I've ever seen ever. GPS is almost a complete waste on them.
Then you have a backup server that's privileged to access data from clients, which makes the backup server an attractive target.
They tested it on Googlers, and we were extremely vocal about the things we didn't like, but were ignored by the higher ups (read: Vic), using the argument you mention - "oh, but you're not the typical users".
Who is "we"? I'm certain I had nothing to do with this.
Probably because there is money to be made from advertising/sharing user data and human customers don't have the money to see you like businesses.
Probably Atlassian. It's not the quantity of products so much as the desire to use them and their establishment as the product to use for a given purpose. Slack doesn't have that many competitors that are as useful. Whereas Atlassian has a lot of products no one has ever heard of and a lot of competitors other people have heard of.
Hey, at least it’s not a student loan. You can still discharge your $150,000 wedding in bankruptcy.
Well for starters, I don't get my free shake now...I get it on my next visit....
> I didn't write the original comment, so I didn't say I "wouldn't be caught dead".

Fair enough, I wasn't paying attention.

> It's far from obvious to me that working for local government means working for "[my] community", especially in my rather scandal-plagued city.

How do you think it is that governments get this way? It's because the people who care about the community don't take part, so it is left to the people who want to exploit it.
> Google is probably your best option when it comes to security

for me it isn't...
You are the first person I have ever seen say that. WireGuard setup is approximately the same as SSH; the only thing it adds over SSH is IP addresses. I've set up OpenVPN multiple times and I'd reserve a couple hours of my time if a client demanded it, because that's how long it'd take me. WireGuard would take me a couple minutes and I'd be doing it from memory.
I did a mini-ITX build last year with a 2400G inside an InWin Chopin case (https://www.in-win.com/en/gaming-chassis/Chopin). Definitely not as small as an Intel NUC, but it's also a lot more powerful. It can also be upgraded, unlike the NUC.
So you're saying that on your planet TypeScript has runtime type validation?
Are you in school or training? And/or do you work with members of your social circle? And/or does family live close? If any of these are true, I can see how Facebook offers little value.

But the older you get, the fewer people you tend to have around. My social life is easily 30 times harder to maintain now than it was when I was in college. Work was also an easy place to find friends and kindred spirits. At first. But now, more and more, my coworkers are younger than me and even if we enjoy each other’s company there is simply less and less we have in common.

Family starts dying off, or gradually moves over time to where everyone is scattered across the globe. Same with friends. Or they get married, have kids, get busy with careers, etc.

New friends and family enter ones life of course, but they come fewer and farther between, and never feel quite as deep as those early life relationships.

Many other platforms offer a way to stay connected, of course. But many of them are either too superficial to feel worthwhile, or have too few people on them, or have too much friction to be consistently used.

I agree most of what is on Facebook is rather irrelevant, and I basically ignore 99% of what people post. But for those of us whose social lives have been scattered to the wind, nothing else out there comes close to Facebook’s utility.
Taxi companies are profitable, and it's normal for big Japanese companies to have diverse business lines (Mitsubishi mining, Nissan insurance...)
Affinity Publisher, a PC and Mac alternative to InDesign, launches out of beta
The root as I see is that Intelligence is still very loosely defined (or not defined at all). We cannot simulate something undefined.

And I am not talking about philosophical or linguistic definitions, but strict mathematical definitions with proofs and experiments.
Indeed... Same (possible) holds for PayPal.

I really don't understand why companies like Snapchat and PayPal don't do the reverse - add Facebook-feature to their product! Surely Snapchat would be more useable if it had profiles, friends, etc. (i.e. if it became Facebook-lite, in other words, Instagram clone). Sure, (some) users will revolt, but you don't need to force it down their throat... make it opt-in, or privacy-preserving, or something, and make sure that it's genuinely useful!

Ask HN: Anyone working for government in software role? What are pros and cons?
There have been a few posts like this, and the discussion always seems to focus on plain JavaScript vs TypeScript. I'd like to see some talk about Flow vs TypeScript instead. We have what I'd call a medium-sized project (~30k loc) written with Flow and TypeScript's superior tooling is indeed attractive enough that we too have been thinking about making the switch.

Having used both, there are a few features in Flow that I'd miss. I think classes being nominal is a good approach and the ability to declare new nominal types is useful. Otherwise Flow's type system is structural, like TypeScript's. Function parameter type inference is also very nice feature, so I can make simple module- or function-local helper functions without needing to specify the parameter types explicitly. Having a syntax for specifying parameter variance allows for a more sound type system in some areas.

Performance has historically been pretty bad but it's been getting better with every release. The tooling has also seen some improvements after Facebook nuked their own Nuclide-editor project and moved on to endorsing Language Server Protocol and VSCode. It's still far, far behind TypeScript, though. It's also a bit worrying that the community seems to be getting smaller, not bigger, with posts like this popping up.
Well Happy Birthday wishes is the big one.

Other times there's like maybe an inside joke or a picture or an anecdote that you think that their friends would enjoy more than your friends.

It's used way more by younger people, though.
I think it's much more that the prospect of owning a house in an area which one may want to live has gotten so expensive that many millennials just can't realistically factor in the possibility enough to save for one. And if you don't need to save up for or pay off a mortgage, you're gonna have some extra money lying around.
Slack macOS application is without question the worst performing software I use. Launching slack causes my cpu usage to skyrocket to 100% for 5 or so seconds.
One thing I learned (or maybe realized?) about math books especially is that they all follow a similar structure: a topic is presented with some proofs, followed by some sample exercises worked out step-by-step, followed, of course by practice exercises whose answers are available in the back of the book. One thing that helped me retain a lot of the material was to try to work the sample exercises on my own without looking at the author’s step-by-step instructions, just based on the description the preceded it. Once I was finished, I compared my work with his - I often found myself catching important concepts that way that I would have glossed over if I had just skimmed over the example.
Medium is disagreeable, but there are many blogging sites still around, and people still follow them.

A good example is Syonyk's Project Blog (https://syonyk.blogspot.com/). It's hosted on Blogspot, and despite being relatively recent - started in 2015, long past the peak of blogging - he already has over 2.3 million views (total), just writing interesting detailed logs of his tech and home projects.
90% / 0% Native English, I was guessing most of the time. Really surprised the medical words didn't screw me over. If it sounded and looked like an English word, I would answer Yes. I answered No to anything that seemed even a little odd. I think if I retook the test my score would vary wildly...
Namespacing doesn’t solve typosquatting or malicious dependencies. You typosquat the namespace instead. Any dependency can become malicious.
If it's important to you, and your family can't help out, and you don't have the cash on hand but will in the future, why not take out the loan? I don't see how this is different from financing a luxury car.
They changed Keep's name a few times, I don't think they are done. When I pull the app drawer in my phone I always wonder where will things be in a couple of months. Some apps have Google prefix, some don't. Some had, but now they don't. When they have the prefix, I can see only bunch of icons with the same label "Google...". It seems that now they are at no-Google-prefix phase, but I expect to see it changed a couple of times.

Keep naming history went somewhere like this: Keep, Google Keep, Notatki Keep (Notatki for Notes in Polish). So I had to relearn a couple of times where they were.

Chromecast app had it even worse, because at one time it merged or became Home. Of course it had it's Google-prefix phase AFAIR. It probably went something like this: Chromecast, Google Cast, Google Home, Home.
Is this a joke? If your real world data doesn’t have a fixed schema representable in a type system how do you machine parse it?
FWIW, if you want to know whether you gained weight, go to China. People will frequently tell you how much you have gained or lost since they last saw you.

EDIT to add: and the funny thing is, Chinese are very concerned about face and honour, and will lie to protect it. It's just that weight is merely an aspect of your body and health to monitor, not something sacred or potentially shameful.

Totally missing from that blog post: People won't want to use something if Google tries to cram it down their neck. I lost count of the various dirty tactics they used to try force me onto it.

That was my take on this story as well...that the CEO was humble enough to listen to his employees. That's hard to do at a large company and we don't see enough of it.
In the Guts of a Shiv App – Building SaaS with Python and Django #24
I think you hit the nail on the head—it is a person's responsibility to spend wisely, but they're fighting a steeply uphill battle. I don't know where the political will will come from to help create that social pressure, when so much money in politics comes from those advertising so heavily to us.
Or there's a long term exclusivity agreement. Who knows.
I kind of like the Touch Bar.

It's hackable, programmable, and versatile. I have never used F keys and making Caps Lock the new Escape key works better for me anyway since I have small hands.

How can you not like having Lemmings in your Touch Bar? [0]

I have no problems with the keyboard (my favorite is actually the PowerBook Pro Aluminum Keyboard), but it being basically the only moving part and arguably gets the most use of any component on the computer, it would be nice if it was user replaceable (the battery too, but ...). I'd like to always have a spare around or the ability to take it out and every once in a while get any dirt or whatever can get in under the keys out.

Signs That You Might Be a Bad Manager
They learned the wrong lesson from the Gmail invites.
The artificial scarcity of Gmail invites worked better than their wildest dreams. People were selling invites on eBay, trading then, etc. It worked really well to generate buzz. So of course they tried to replicate it. But if you're the only Gmail user among your friends, you can still email them. As you say, if you're the only Google+ user, you have no one to talk to.
That depends on what other languages you have programmed in. The "get it" and "mind-blowing" hyperbole comes from a time when people had perhaps only programmed in Basic or C. Especially people the latter group would have issues with how easy Lisp makes programming.

Nowadays the hyperbole does Lisp a disservice.

Lets bring back "You can't afford it"..

Starting with student loans... Giving $150,000 to an 18 year old is rarely a good risk, and it normalizes borrowing extremely large sums of money with no clear way to pay it back on the assumption that it'll all work out in the end. Higher education should find a different business model.

There’s a major difference between good and bad debt.

And yes, having a limited quality of life is the consequence of having a limited income. Fact of life that newer generations seem to have no intention of accepting, living inside their means.

I think you have some fundamental misconceptions about sum types. Note that enums also don't even need to have any variants.

enum Never {}

Either way, this discussion is no longer fruitful. I encourage you to read about sum & product types.

Notes on plug-ins development[1]:

> To be able to compile the plugins, you also need the header files for OpenGL and X11.

> See the Help page[2] for the documentation of the plugin API[3] (it's a work in progress). You can also use the provided plugin source code as template.

> The source code with the "Makefile" for the plugins will be in the "src/Plugins" directory.

> To add a new plugin, just edit the file: "Plugins/Plugins.list". It's a simple text file and really easy to understand.

FTR, developer has plan to fully open sources[4]:

> Q: I get many questions regarding if and when EQUINOX-3D will go open source.

> A: It is mostly open source already. About 80% of the source code is included in the package and I'm planning to make it buildable soon. If I ever decide to stop (not going to happen), I'm planning to fully open source it, so others can pick up development.

It's totally possible to automate the process using Anki Connect (Polar Bookshelf does this). But I tend to do it manually because I like to add context and pictures when appropriate.

When Im using it to learn something like a new spoken language, pictures and sounds are very important. When I am using it to learn a new computer language, it is important to provide context and a good example/card to remember some specific programming syntax or feature.
