I would get 5 books on the topic. Bring them home, try them all, and you're bound to find one that you like and can work your way through.

One I'd recommend is "Eloquent Javascript". It may be a tiny bit out of date now (I read it over 5 years ago maybe, and Javascript has improved a lot since then), but it's a solid book.

Other books you might like: Pragmatic Programmer, Pattern on the Stone, Clean Code, Mastering Regular Expressions.
It is a market, and economics has it that the buyer needs to optimize the return on investment for interchangeable products in order to prosper. As a producer, you want to have a non-interchangeable product and what Warren Buffett calls a "moat". Your moat is the proximity, fluency in English, and US citizenship, but in this case it was not deep enough. Your product is interchangeable. What you can offer is to be a liaison for the overseas contractor, and find more than one client.
Through this lens it seems obvious we should switch to cultivating and consuming insects.
On the other hand - why would you build a language where commas aren’t treated as whitespace?
Maybe I misunderstood the speed complaints about HashMap in Rust. I thought it was the hash function that was the slow bit? What is the anticipated improvements from using SwissTable?
I agree, Snowden was a pretty big story exposing the tech companies for working with the NSA in the PRISM program after previously denying it, including Apple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)
How do you think this relates to our present crisis?
Afaik nuclear appears to be expensive mostly because of excessive regulatory code/capture, and political risk.
Rust developers have actually been very cautious about integrating the 'usual' sorts of PL-theory driven features in Rust. The PL theory of Rust-like languages is still in its infancy in many ways, but it has already usefully informed the design of library features like e.g. Pin<>, as well as eased the understanding of seemingly ad-hoc language features like so-called 'internal' mutability, which - as it turns out - can be described via a remarkably simple theoretical basis.
Just wondering out aloud rather than floating any theories, if it is in any way related to the 6.4 magnitude earthquake and/or geological events leading upto it. Also inter/un-related, Google provides Apple with the infrastructure for iCloud; they also experienced some downtime in the last few days, along with others i.e. tremors causing some sensitive/critical servers to misbehave.

However, I doubt that it is down to these factors, as there will likely be significant amount of distributed fault tolerance, failover and contingency plans in place.

The Amazon model doesn't "scale" to multiple companies because it is winner take all. It's a platform.

What could become an alternative would be a public decentralized protocol that many different retailers, warehouse operators, and delivery drivers could plug into. That is the sort of thing that could give consumers the selection of Amazon without putting control over everything in the hands of one company.
We’re moving from getting services for free that are taking all of our data to paying for services that are taking all of our data.

It’s honestly ridiculous and only government intervention will prevent this from getting out of hand.
Why those specific days?
The world isn't perfect, and I'm sure your code isn't, either. It's a series of trade-offs.
Most early stage tech diligence is not very thorough, and rightly so. Things will change a lot in later rounds. It's more like whiteboard level, maybe a couple of slides, show us a demo... oh, it works? great!
I wonder if there is anything similar going on in western Massachusetts, e.g. the Pioneer Valley area including such towns as Hadley and the surrounding areas, where tobacco barns are not an uncommon sight.

Perhaps a change has already started but I am currently personally unsure; for better or worse I moved away a good number of years ago due to college and work and have yet to move back [should that be in my future or desires].
HN isn't the world though, and seems a bit obsessed with nuclear energy to me. For example, when activists stormed a coal mine in Germany a majority of that discussion was about "why not nuclear".. I think that is nowhere near how the average person would react to the same news, which would be either yay or nay, but not making it about nuclear energy. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20253954
I overreached a little with 'no one', I admit. I's just, telling someone he is just wrong while there are reasons, idk.

Have not really thought about a 100000 year warehouse that maybe susceptible to disaster or attack, sounds great.

I'm on board if the costs are paid by power company.
They have a #ailored #ccess #perations department. Look it up.
Quantum trajectories more or less have the usual Copenhagen interpretation built in, so they don't really solve the old interpretation problems any more than decoherence does. Although they can be a nice way to understand some experiments, in particular how conditional probabilities of a set of measurement results obtained in sequence occur, I'm not sure if it's good to present it as some fundamental insight in popular articles.

Do you have evidence to back up that claim?
Or they live in an area that has significant earthquake risk. You can argue about the relative odds of course but it seems as if the same logic could be applied to building in much of the Bay Area including SF.
Might as well add the Vice President suddenly being required to stay in Washington DC early on July 2nd, to the list.

Even if it involved the Russians attempting to tamper with underseas communications cables (and US service providers being forced to respond), we'll never get confirmation of it from either side.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. The Russians trying to screw with US communications makes perfect sense as an explanation for such a comically implausible whoops one-after-another result like this.

People here are saying that it wouldn't be possible for all the companies to conspire together to cover that up. Sure, tell me how it wasn't possible for numerous of the forced-to-join NSA programs to be covered up for years, all of which involved the participation of huge US service providers. Of course it's not only possible but very easy, major US service providers routinely work with US Government agencies.
I do that as well, but I don't keep every app open all day long so the dock still comes in handy.
You can map it so that tapping caps lock is escape and holding it down is control.
Mozilla Corporation is fully owned by Mozilla Foundation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation

Corporation is separated from Foundation for legal and tax reasons, otherwise, it is the same org.

(But employees of Mozilla get their salary, and it's not possible to give money directly to Mozilla Rust developers.)
You could absolutely do this as well. I'm just taking issue with a language that constrains you in such a way that you have to put the commas at the beginning of the list elements, so it plays nicely with {comments, source control blame}.
> If you have any example of where an actual malware was spread using ads, I would be happy to learn about it.

I just gave you a first-hand account of exactly that happening, and you keep dismissing that, claiming that it does not happen.

If you don't believe me, google for it. There have been plenty of articles about ad networks as malware services.

I find your behaviour here very dishonest, and for me it's EOD.
Not a good analogy. "Vaccines cause autism" reached the public via a doctor straight-up lying and falsifying data so that he could profit on a new vaccine he hoped would replace the old one. Just another grifting charlatan, albeit one who is now responsible for inestimable damage to humanity.
Hasn't industrial hemp production been legal in most of the world the whole time? And hasn't importation of hemp products (e.g. rope, or tshirts, or whatever) been legal even in America the whole time?

Surely if hemp was going to outcompete popular modern fibers, it would have done so by now. What am I missing here?
I think it supports 4K but not at 60 fps. You are stuck at 30 fps.
How do you manage AWS credentials? We use short lived credentials that are stored in the standard file system location and expire frequently, can your application just use these? We gave up exporting permanent credential a long time ago.
MISRA and DO-178B deliver more on the illusion of quality then anything else. They are desperate attempts to tame software complexity. But they don't fundamentally solve anything.
We feed one of our dogs Blue Buffalo. He thrives on it after years of methodically trying other brands. He's 13.

During our quest, we also found that the best supplement was fish oil (pollock). Prior to the fish oil, he had all kinds of skin problems and inflammation. The fish oil was beneficial and required regardless of dog food brand we tried.
Counterpoint: These apps never work, calendars are time prisons, we already have advanced technology for managing time: our brains.
AWS isn't the only cloud, and several AWS competitors have similar or better performance numbers. This isn't it.

This is obviously bad, but I think the deeper problem is with Android that it's impossible to turn off the long-home-button press behavior. The wiretapping statutes really need to be updated to cover "negligent wiretapping" and require manufacturers to provide an opt-out toggle that prevents it.

Alexa speakers, of course, are surveillance devices and if you have it on it seems fair to say you have opted in.

>complicating things and scaring off (non-C++) programmers.

On the contrary, Rust allow us (non C++ programmers) to use a system language without fear of breaking something. I'm a Rust developer with Ruby background and loving the language more and more.
It's interesting to see different approaches for tech due diligence (tech DD) work well. Point Nine is considered to be a very strong European seed fund and they've invested in a lot of great companies. I'm not sure what they do for tech DD (the first line in this article says this calculator is not part of their process), but based on the article I'd guess they do a significant amount of it.

My experience has been very different: I started out doing tech DD and quickly stopped because it didn't have much value for us. Here's a post about my experience: https://www.codingvc.com/why-startup-technical-diligence-is-...

My conclusion over the last 6 years in venture has been that tech DD is important for companies with technical risk, but not many products have true technical risk. And regardless of the underlying tech, the CTO needs to be able to spot good talent, convince that talent to join, and manage a team for at least the first few years of a startup's life.

It's not even in the same solution space. I can't replace my YAML with Dhall and consume it directly. I have to now depend on the converter to go from Dhall -> YAML/JSON. All I did was add another layer of complexity into my config.

Maybe you'll benefit from the added abstraction; I see the value in having "typed" configs that are semi-scriptable but not turing complete. But it's in no way a "replacement".

Romanian here - can confirm your statement is accurate. The person in charge of Romania's GDPR enforcement agency is politically nominated by Romania's leading party - the party which made corruption semi legal. She is under investigation by Romania's Anti Corruption Directorate for illegal land restitution, and is reported to have made anti EU and anti US statements. She also threatened an enormous fine, using the GDPR regulation, for those who exposed the illegal activity of Romania's former defacto leader, imprisoned 4 months ago.

So yeah, this case raises eyebrows, given most foreign banks in Romania are proteges of corrupt politicians and the GDPR agency is lead by members of an infamously corrupt party. Perhaps this bank did something right, to actually get the fine.
How many of them were above ground with a substantial release of long lived isotopes? IIRC the ban of atmospheric weapon tests came quite quickly.
The outages occurred long before the earthquake but my mind originally wandered to the same place.

What earthquake related causes could have had effects 24h or more ahead of time?
> ...the ThinkPad brand got sold to Lenovo who promptly started shipping it with spyware...

That's incorrect. You're referring to SuperFish, which was only on Lenovo's consumer machines, not on ThinkPad.

> Natural selection is by the environment, kin selection is by the organism.

This is simply a false statement. Kin selection isn't distinct from natural selection. Kin selection is the idea that a trait could be harmful to an organism but if it confers sufficient benefit to close relatives (who are likely to have the same gene), the trait can be favored. It is one of the core ideas of "the selfish gene" view -- that from an organisms vantage point such a trait should go extinct, but viewed from the gene's vantage point, it is a desirable trait.

I am a heavy programmer, and I do not mind the touch Esc key. It’s a bigger hit box. Though it does not offer tactile feedback, I find that just something to get used to as you don’t really need to locate it through tactile feedback.

It very much is a small set of people who complain loudly about the touchbar, and many of whom have not even used it that just think they won’t like it.
If I want someone to know I've received their email, I can do so by replying. Also, I turn on read receipts for a few of my iMessage friends. I would consider doing the same for some of my email contacts if it were possible.

But I don't like non-opt-in "features" like Messenger's activity indicator. It is no one's business when I was last on FB, or if I have accessed it via computer or mobile.

Their YouTube app is pretty abysmal too (at least on iOS). It feels like Google in as much as it’s Material-tastic but the UX is lacking.
At this point, it’s time to finally quit YT.
FWIW, you can get a replacement battery for these for under $100.

It's not super easy to replace, but if you're comfortable with a screw driver, it shouldn't pose much of a challenge, and the instruction from ifixit are great.

I'm still holding tight to my 2012 MBP, but it's got a replacement battery, and a roomier SSD to breathe some new life into it.

RAR was great at the time because it offered "solid" archiving like a tar/gz combo. Zip and ARJ both compressed at the file level rather than the archive level.
Same here in the Cryptology course at UMD. That whole class was just so much fun.
There's been a few major office365 outages that coincided with the Azure ones, we've taken to calling it office364 internally.
I was responding to someone who wrote "It seems to me that our society is too focused on condemning historical persons for their flaws than celebrating them for their noteworthy deeds." That comment seems to imply that we should forgive (or forget) the sexual assault of a slave because she was assaulted by someone who deserves to be celebrated "for their noteworthy deeds". Since you flagged my comment, will you also flag that other comment? Surely that other comment is more offensive than anything that I wrote?
If the US is attacking Iran via cyberwar, it'd be likely they would want to retaliate. Google's post about fiber cables being cut, seems like a good experiment to see potential impact of our US network. Many companies rely on backbone lines to transfer petabytes of data between data centers around the country, these are our weakest points.
I have a 2015 and a 4K monitor and can confirm that this is the case. 30fps isn't great but it is usable for most day-to-day computer work.

However there is a workaround if you are willing to disable SIP and play around with a program called SwitchResX. You can customize the display timings in such a way that allows 4K60 video to just sneak in under the bandwidth limits of the Thunderbolt ports. It also requires a Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.0 adapter, and a compatible monitor. If you like fiddling around this is one way to do it, but I have found it finicky and not really worth it.
I too have similar thoughts . worse is soon after Walmart's acquisition of Flipkart, the govt came up with new ecommerce rules & regulations that made things really tougher for Amazon and Flipkart (there are widespread rumors that these rules were brought in to help Reliance Retail's ecommerce wing) .
and not a single mention of this situation. 16Billions isn't small, even at Walmart's scale.
I do have a bluetooth mouse although it's not a Logitech. It works ok. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody but it gets the job done.

Maybe I should give a Logitech BT mouse a try. I've been holding out waiting for Logitech to release a mouse with a USB-C adapter but they don't seem to want my money.
It's definitely the end times. Locusts coming anytime now.
Sure, but it's a laptop to look up some kitchen recipes, watch YouTube and use facetime occasionally. If it has security vulnerabilities I'm genuinely not bothered - any minute spent installing another system is a minute just not worth it for me.
From the public, yes. From other nations, no.

Is there anything new here that adds to the discussion on HN or can we expect the same pseudo-scientific back and forth between "nuclear isn't too bad, we have new reactors" and "it's still not safe enough"? The democratic society in Germany settled on the latter decades ago, I'm not sure why this needs to be regurgitated every month just because some countries settled on the former.
There have also been a few "nines" related jokes, as in:

> You can't run any major resource operation without smart people.

Given "perfect automation", owning the means of production will be all, there will be no labor aspect to it. That's gonna be a whole lot of wealth and power in very few hands, and the few specialists needed to built and operate the machines may very well get be forced at gunpoint (i.e. threat of perfected, indefinitely prolongable torture of people they are close to and/or themselves) to do their work, and they will never know how many other specialists elsewhere recreate the same work they do to make sure they are not doing anything funny. If I can think of that in the time it took me to write this, absolutely water-proof solutions can be found, too. With enough in the balance, nothing is too cruel or too invasive.

edit: Who knows, "not smart" people might end up as pets in some kind of zoo, their harmless spontaneity a source of enjoyment for the owners; while the super smart people might end up completely scrutinized and controlled, being both a source of danger and power. Go further, and assume they will be bred for harmlessness and utility, whereas the remaining pet humans will at least be bred for harmlessness and beauty.
it could also a sign that the company is reliant on this rock star, and not have a team around the product.

It isn't so much about restricting as derailing.
Yes because he revised his views on nuclear.

"Moore co-chaired the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition, which was supported by the Nuclear Energy Institute, a national organization of pro-nuclear industries.[59] In 2009, as co-chair of the Coalition, he suggested that the mainstream media and the environmentalist movement is not as opposed to nuclear energy as in decades past.[59]

He argues that any realistic plan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels or greenhouse gas emissions would require increased use of nuclear energy to supply baseload power."
It's a common practice in the Haskell community. Knowing where the creator of dhall comes from I would say that that's the source of inspiration
I don't know what tool they use to get user feedback, but it would be trivial for me to find out how many user requests we've gotten for a feature like read receipts: just do a search for "read receipts" in our contact email inbox. Might it miss some requests that didn't have the exact phrase? Yes, but it's in the CEO's interest to have a count that is very low, since he's trying to say that their users haven't asked about this much.

So it might be hard to get an exact count of how many people asked for some feature (particularly if it doesn't have an agreed-upon name, like "read receipts", but if you're just looking for one phrase and don't mind erring on the low side, this should be a pretty easy exercise.
YouTube needs to accelerate their banning process so they can become solely focused on mainstream psychological brainwashing clickbait. This way my favorite creators can actually move to other freer platforms and get paid without fascist payment processors and trying to abide by YouTube's insane terms and conditions. YouTube is going the way of cable TV channels dedicated to infomercials. The interesting stuff will be purged soon. The writing is on the wall. Backup and escape while you can. It will not get better.
