Ask HN: For help: drowned migrant photographs
I saw the picture of the drowned migrants in rio grande today and have had a rough afternoon since.

I have two daughter and one is of similar age as one of the victims. As a father I almost cried when I saw the drowned 2 year old daughters hand locked around her drowned father.

I dunno how to process this and need help and hoping this wise community can give some perspective. I dunno what I am going thru but the most saddening questions come to mind. How bad must be life there that people risk such an out come. Why is is hard for people here to see how bad the situation is. What must be the last moments of this desperate father and daughter been like?

After I saw this and walked saw around my office people just working and oblivious to such suffering I could not help but think what kind of world we live in. Why can’t this kind of situation be solved?

To distract myself I ask what can I do about this. This leads me to ask the question why can’t immigration be solved globally. Would access to education and remote work within a global market where a global currency is be the answer to this ? Are immigration and such national problems fundamental down sides of the idea of nation which is fundamentally at conflict at diversity (of ideas, people, cultures etc.) May be as nation as idea is fundamentally flawed and smaller but “evolved” tribes where homogeneity thrives but also respect for other tribes to cohabit peacefully are a better answer? What comes after nations anyway. What if there was a no physical country but only virtual tribes which participated in a global market with a global (crypto?) currency. If Elon musk can dream of making humans interplanetary then why can’t people dream of solving global problems that affect humanity?

If you made it this far thanks for reading and please help me process this.
I've had Brave as my mobile browser since early 2017 and the only ads I've ever seen on it are the random Google Adsense ad that slipped through. These instances are in the single digits, in 2.5 years. im in Canada, so that might have an effect.
Boeing also has a solid safety record on their other models 777 and 767 and an incredibly poor safety record for their 737-MAX model.

The problem for Boeing is the history of flying has many examples of planes with poor safety records being rejected by the flying public.

Only time will tell if the 737-MAX joins that illustrious group, but the more the plane stays in the news for all the wrong reasons, the better are it's chances.
Power that uses no fossil fuels, produces no heat, and requires no combustion
My favorite 'around town' headphones are Sennheiser Momentums. Really light, comfortable headphones that sound great.

Along with these, @brundolf's suggestion of the Koss PortaPros is excellent. Cheap headphones that fold up small, but still give excellent output.

Personally, I would avoid NR headphones for a commute if you're walking at all -- especially in a city.
Boeing doesn't make a lot of the components on their planes. The plane doesn't fly until Boeing is satisfied with how those components work.

You don't actually believe the internet works that way, do you?

If the internet truly shaped thought in the way that remark suggests, or nevermind the internet... If it were possible for people to influence one another in that way, by expressing opinions, all opinions would eventually homogenize into a placid average.

What really happens is people stick to their guns and never back down, but sometimes they lose, go quiet, and bottle up their controversy and stew in it until better opportunities come along.

The difference the internet makes is that a wider diversity of opportunities are made available to jump into. The people don't change. They find comfortable places where no one tells them to stop or shut up, even if there's no "censoring" (banning, moderating, deleting or otherwise silencing) of the riff raff.

Here and there, the subsequent outcome to that, is that as birds of a feather flock together, some flocks reach a critical mass. Their noise and biomass becomes big enough that it ruffles the feathers of rivals, and you get collisions. The gang violence then spills out into the open, and the revolting conflict of contrasted polar extremes disgusts all of the outsiders.

But really, these different sorts of people were always running around, it's just that they never joined forces. They never wrote letters, had phone calls, visited, ate lunch together. They were all two towns apart, and total strangers, unknown to their subculture and often unaware of a potential for subculture.
The 68k to ppc transition came with ppc being able to emulate 68k code faster than any 68k you could buy (in an interpreter, no JIT!!!), and the native ppc code was just ungodly fast comparitively.

Neither part of that statement is true. I had an LCII with a 68030-40Mhz card before upgrading to a 6100/60. The 6100/60 (601-60Mhz processor with a half speed bus) was much slower running 68K software than my LCII. It was about the same speed once I bought SpeedDoubler.

Also, between the slower bus, the slow shared graphics memory and System 7 on the PPC being emulated, it felt much slower than a decent 486-DX2/66 or a Pentium-60.
since you're actively laughing, I'll just tell you to google the wiki page for prison abolition.

Surely you're creative enough to think of at least 3 or 4 other modes where we sequester people "from society due to past behavior"... there are a lot of other modalities than, say throwing people in an oubliette or conscripting them into an army. Some are actually ethical (in my opinion, which is far from the only legitiamte one), unlike prison in the US (also,, I do understand that this is my opinion as well).
Well, given that many of the readers of this forum, including myself, never went to college yet manage to pull down a healthy six figure salary, I think the actual situation is a bit more nuanced. Developers making a cushy living are firmly within what used to be considered the middle class, and if you take into account the stagnation of wage growth over the last 40 years we're all getting fucked. Also, many white collar office jobs are paying relatively poorly these days, and those are more likely to require a degree than a job in tech. A $50k salary in 2019 isn't what it used to be.

Eh, that's like 10x average CPM nowadays. And advertisers usually are paying per click, not impression.
I don't think most people have an issue with that single sites tracking usage on said site. (Also, much of that can be obtained with server logs.)

This issue is cross domain tracking like we see with ad network that profile you over many different sites.

Title looks fine to me. It says “up to 20M jobs”. I always take that to mean anywhere between zero and the stated number. So “may”/“could” is sort of implied IMO.

For how much longer? I'm not asking facetiously, the trends across the entire industry are quite obvious at this point.

It's a bad thing that modern "security measures" somehow consistently manage to be as restrictive towards user freedom as possible. Methods that would accomplish the same user protection without resulting in a walled garden or vendor control of the device are somehow never selected for.

I'm sure there are no ulterior motives at play here though. /s

> There is far more violent rhetoric from the left than the right for the first time in my life.

No, there's not. Moreover there is, as has been true for many decades, far more violent political action in the US by the right (even excluding state action, though some of the longtime violent rhetoric of the right from outside of government, particularly against actual and suspect unauthorized migrants, is now manifesting as state action.)
If I make a sockpuppet and post the same comments in r/politics, does that mean it should get quarantined?

A lot of those screenshots are "1 point, 11 minutes ago" or "2 points, 17 minutes ago". If that's being expanded to cover an entire subreddit, then no sub would be safe when applied consistently.
The original 737 had a terrible safety record at first because of a rudder hard-over flaw. It then went on to become the most used in history
IME, searching by collections of keywords has become a good strategy. Avoiding using vague/topical keywords ('music', 'chemical'), instead asking for specific words that should/must be found in the search results. If the results start to exclude an important keyword (e.g. '1872' or 'giant' or 'legend'), put a plus sign in front of it and resubmit.

I regularly use DDG (which claims privacy) for this, and requests can be quite specific. E.g. a quotation "these words in this order" may result in -no result at all-, which is preferable to being second-guessed by the engine.

I wonder how 'search engines are not required' would work without expecting the searcher to acquire expertise in drilling down through topical categories, as attempts like 'http://www.odp.org/' did.
This is clearly a completely different take on the world of code. C is strongly typed, which is a cause of errors?

I guess if you compare Forth and C as operating on roughly the same level, in this alternative reality you could imagine Forth as the language that an OS Kernel is written in, and higher-level language compilers and interpreters could be written in. However that goes against the mindset that Forth programs should be small and simple.
Can someone explain what they mean by asymmetric magnets? I know that one pole can be weaker, but it also must be a greater size to balance out the flux. Is this what they mean? It's kind of misleading as they imply that they can create magnets that have a non-zero flux.

My guess? Issues that get raised on a major information platform such as The_Donald could turn into policy debate questions for the Democrats. Questions like "Given the Project Veritas video and associated leaked documents on emails, what is your position on big tech social media platforms and free speech? If you are President, what is your agenda for balancing the exchange of ideas on arguably private yet mass-media platforms?"

A question like that could a) but some of the Democrat candidates in a bind comparing their answer to any voting history/previous statements on the issue or b) could cast light on the sort of topics that obviously Democrat-supporting/anti-Trump big tech doesn't want people to investigate or learn about for themselves.

Japanese and Chinese lack plurals and grammatical gender but have noun classes that influence how things are counted. One counts “1 little animal of cat” or “2 flat thing of paper”.

These words can serve a kind of poetical function; but in principle you could use the generic one — “ko” in Japanese and “gè” in Mandarin Chinese — for everything, and it is even accepted that as a foreigner you will. However, doing so is taken to be a sign of infelicity with the language. One instructor related to me that failure to use an advanced counter when the opportunity presents itself is a sign of poor education, rather like missing the opportunity to use a word like “infelicity”.
How are good like things like its simplifying algorithm? I've used Sage which uses sympy from what I understand and it didn't quite cut it. Is Mathics just an interface or does it tweak the algorithms?
Philip K. Dick had perhaps the most effective solution for writers block: amphetamines. Over his 30 year career, he wrote 44 novels and 121 short stories.

All creatives (and the root templates of dynamically construted ones) are actually audited on the advertiser-facing platforms before they ever get to the publisher.

Unfortunately running javascript means these ads can do anything at any time and change into malware. Other than adding some technical guardrails, the best practice would be to ban bad actors (of which many are known and usually the same shady people) but many large adtech companies look the other way because it makes money and they have no consequences.

Malware and adfraud is primarily a business problem, not a technical one.
Actually I followed that whole episode as it unfolded and your comments across this thread are all sorts of wrong.

Tom Scott ended up being happy with Brave resolving an early product misstep.

The nightly build has tipping buttons for twitter and reddit. Hoping this will finally execute the micropayment use case for crypto.

The pop up ads have been activated and I have been receiving the token for clicking, about $8 month worth of BAT. I am hoarding the tokens so that USD value might go up if the token moons together with bitcoin.
So, don't allow them to run JavaScript. That's not necessary, just convenient.
Large adtech demand/sell side platforms do not want to remove these bad actors because they make money on percentage of spend. They are incentivized to increase volume and ad spend at all costs, and there is no regulation to stop them from doing otherwise by continuing to deal with shady companies and known malware techniques.
this is total bullshit, ive been on that sub since the beginning, never calls to violence. I go elsewhere on reddit and Im told I should be harassed and die and so should my newborn son, because you know, hes white. Trump should be killed, mitch mcconnell killed, ag barr and on and on. its censorship, plain and simple, and spare me the private company bs.

you want to cite more instances of violence I dare you to find more on t_d, its a daily occurrence on politics, worldnews, the mueller.

the people that want to get t_d banned go in and make the comments and then say "look look"

but what do you expect from a bunch of pussies

Just visit a flight tracking website before booking.

In addition I'm sure airlines not flying the MAX will be using that fact as a marketing tool (i.e. we only fly Airbus etc) so you could limit your bookings with just those airlines.

As an example of this, here in Australia I know one of the carriers is planning to fly the Max some time next year.

If they go ahead with that plan, I will be making sure not to book with that carrier at least for the next few years.
There are plenty of bad actors in the SEO world, and it certainly has an overwhelmingly slimy history. But as is usually the case, the issue is more complex than "SEO bad, good content good."

I've been preaching basically what you said as the core tenet of SEO for over a decade. (I would add a "that people are actively looking for" clause to "make content that humans find compelling.") This is much more challenging than one would think, and can really benefit from someone experienced. Whether you call that Search Engine Optimization or Content Marketing or Copywriting or just Writing, done correctly it all boils down to this same principle.

That alone often warrants someone to assist a business, as most businesses don't have the internal resources or knowledge to do it entirely themselves.

But there's more that falls under the SEO umbrella.

1. The technical aspects of configuring a site to be indexable, accessible, and well-architectured. This might have traditionally fallen under the guise of a webmaster, and for larger sites might fall to more specialized experts, but for the large majority of sites the only people working on these issues are "SEOs".

2. Actually going out and promoting a website in some way. The best content in the world will go unnoticed by man and machine if it's not discoverable from some other source. This has traditionally meant "link building" or (for a long time) "guest posting", and might also include PR or advertising depending on who you ask.

3. Monitoring the results and improving the approach. It's great to say "make content that is compelling" but if you're spending the resources to do this then you need to monitor and analyze the effects it has. This can get incredibly complex, but again, for most websites, is performed by an SEO.

I call those asshole user stories unless there is a logged story “as a user, I expect inventory prices to be accurate in real time.”

I don’t like user stories that are anti-customer and in the developer’s favor unless it’s clear that there’s a path to fairness.

The motivation to a system should be to have as current as possible pricing, not some nightly batch that shows cheaper, unavailable prices and pisses off people when the real price is actually checked.

I don't agree with your premise that procrastination is based only on doubt or fear. I certainly didn't put off ironing my clothes for 3 days because I was nervous about my ironing performance. I think it's a combination of expected pain of the actual task (ironing sucks), ambiguity on the scope of the task, and potentially fear of how your output is perceived.

That's why many times, the best suggested procrastination treatments for a task are just starting the task (where predicted pain of the task disappears and you get clarity on next steps) or breaking down the subtask into very small subtasks that are digestible.

Perhaps what Apple wants is to keep improving their iPhone / iPads with better ARM processors (from where the make most of the money).
Just remember that they don't use the regular "off-the-shelf" ARM processor.
By having even better ARM processors, they can keep having and edge over the competition.

One day, they might switch Mac to ARM. But I don't see that in the short term.

Ask HN: How do you flag features in your codebase?
I am an engineering manager at a 30 person startup in New York. Recently, we found a last minute bug in our code as we were preparing a deployment for our biggest client. This happened on a Friday after everyone left, so I begun to message each engineer individually (9 staffed on this project) to track down the source of the bug and figure out a solution. Luckily, it only took an hour to figure out where the bug was occurring and which engineer had originally developed the code for it.

This ordeal made me think about a better way to manage dependancies in code - specifically, some system to keep track of WHO has special knowledge about a specific feature in our codebase.

At any given moment, I have a general idea of who is working on what, but I don't know who is working on what parts, i.e. Bob and Charlie might both be working on a billing system together, but I don't know which one of them is working on the DB models and which one is working on the Stripe API.

Git Blame is a theoretical solution to this problem, but it is only useful once I have isolated a bug to a specific point in the code. Ideally, I would like a Git Blame-like system at the repo level so that I (and my non-technical colleagues) can quickly track down which engineers are responsible for specific features in my codebase.

How do people manage this process in their organizations?
Actually, it was the part where you stated you considered not washing your hands? And I was honestly asking because most people don't realize how quickly human skin dries. I hate air driers also, but I generally don't use paper towels anymore either unless I'm planning on needing dry hands within a minute of leaving the restroom.

Or, hey, we could go with your interpretation that I'm a raging asshole that thinks you don't know how to wash your hands. Whatever floats your boat.

It’s an alternative to writer’s block, for sure, but I’m not sure I’d call that a “solution”, just like smoking cigarettes isn’t a solution to nicotine withdrawal.
