Honestly, the language they have the best hope of understanding is... English! English is, for better or worse, the working language of much of the world (particularly in business, diplomacy, and technology), even if it is not a native language, and there's no language that seems poised to replace it in this regard. Even if English is somehow lost, there is a plethora of bilingual inscriptions that could serve as potential Rosetta stones.

Of course, the real problem with this endeavor is that human nature is going to be that explorers ignorant of The Old World will happily ignore any signs saying "Danger! Keep Out! We Really Mean It! This Will Kill You (Slowly)!" looking for treasure. That's exactly what happened with the pyramids--they were looted within a few centuries of being constructed. If humanity regresses to a point that they don't understand radiation poisoning, they are not going to be stopped by even the clearest explanation of what will befall them because they won't believe it.
Some how is this different from every other VPN app out there?
Indeed. Genetic modification is doing with a scalpel what we've been doing with a sledgehammer for thousands of years with selective breeding and hybridizing.
I remember a really impressive demo where someone found all the alt accounts of a HN user using stylometry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17944484 The account didn't have that many comments on it (maybe ~1000 karma)

He also claims to have used the same algorithm for identifying company insiders for trades (see parent comment in that thread for context).

I don't think he was bullshitting even though his tool isn't public because he has a different NLP project that works reasonably well (https://hnprofile.com/ which can find users based on their interests).
He's probably saying if prostitution was legal and normalized in our society, there could be an outlet for men who can't get sex any other way, which could curb their tendency to go shoot up innocent people.
Percentages as in how many candidates do they need to source to get one that eventually accepts an offer? I’d wager 1000:1 or thereabouts.
Do you think there are any parallels between the bakers who wouldn't make a wedding cake for a gay customer and the company who won't host 8Chan?
We already have a warrant system in place that is more than adequate for protecting privacy and excessive dragnet fishing expeditions.

I don’t see why modern surveillance is allowed to bypass these laws in the name of security or w/e goal. When it’s clear investigators have more than enough to work with, just justify it first in court to a justice or judge.

Secret courts are extremely dangerous precedent too and basically defeats the whole purpose.
I personally know someone who was killed by a UPS truck on his parking lot. Don't think randomness only happens to others.
Also on point, if they have forgotten about the concept of nuclear radiation then discovering a nuclear waste dump will be a massive boon and cause for celebration. When we zoom out enough to see entire civilisations at once, a few people dying just isn't an issue; it is routine. We try our best to keep everyone healthy, but at the end of the day the benefits of progress outway handfuls of dead astronauts, scientists, explorers and early colonists.

We don't sit around moping that Marie Curie & co died doing research, everyone involved gets recognised for helping to usher in a new age of scientific progress.
Also, you can "flag". But I think it's only reserved for taking down partisan politics and flamewars (or other politically unpopular posts in Silicon Valley's standards), not (and I think should not) used for other purposes.

But I guess there's nothing to prevent you from doing it anyway, the guideline says,

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about [...]

So yeah, feel free to flag, it's not abuse. The automatic threshold rule and the moderators have a final saying.
4chan started out in fame, as the incubator for anonymous, then things happened and groups splintered off to make thier own "sub board" . 7chan and 8 chan were a couple of these.
now that 8chan is gone the users of 8chan are regrouping in familiar places, 7chan is one of them.
7chan has stikkied a no tolerance policy for the stuff that was happening in 8chan.org/pol/

what is an image board?
not all image "chanboards' are like this but lax rules and ephemeral postings cause problems.
its a lot like HN except it is the norm to post images with comments, usually heavy on the image side as a non text method of communicating like using emogis.
very often memes, and in 4chan/b/, unseemly images of the most extreme sorts. its the sort of place that HN wants to be as opposite as possible regarding the toxicity hostility and open endorsement of crime as a gallows humour, [mostly]
so the problem is people are constantly amplifiying antisocial[to say the least] sentiments and do serious damage to peoples psyches over long term.
I think a lot of people don't know what "domain squatting" is.

If there's a domain you want, but someone else has it but is not using it, that's not squatting. If you let your personal name domain expire, and someone else registers it, that's not squatting.

In order for it to be squatting, they have to be trying to profit off a trademark. I assume Jerry Alex is not a trademark.

"Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using an Internet domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price. "

This is amazing! Speaking as someone who played from ~2011-2013, seeing this type of growth in something I loved brings me nothing but good feelings. It also speaks a bit to a type of business model centered around tech that doesn't try to have completely explosive growth.

No, it's more like you accidentally put something out on the street by your trash and someone came by and picked it up. Just because you got rid of it on accident doesn't mean you didn't get rid of it.

And to forestall arguments about that being someone's property, trash on the street is considered public property in many (most?) jurisdictions, which is why the police don't need a warrant to go through it.

Edit: and there are ways that this gets slimy too. I'm not debating the maral ramifications of this, just whether it fits the common definition of stealing. It's less theft and more more someone looking for people's small mistakes and making a living my making them very costly for those people. Morally bankrupt, but not illegal. Like the person who drives around looking for ADA compliance issues with businesses so they can sue them, not to make the situation better but just to extract money. Not illegal, but pretty despicable when done for personal gain.

There's a reasonably large public company that has the name of my initials, so I never had a chance with that one. I do have two friends who were much more forward thinking and managed to get their 3 initial .com domains early enough before they were gobbled up.

I also tried to get my full name, but that was already taken too. He's a performer so it's probably in better hands but that doesn't lessen my disappointment much.

That transaction limit is only a bank imposed limitation - while out of the ones I checked, Commonwealth (and I assume some other) does have a $1K daily limit for personal accounts, various other banks appear to have higher limits or just use the regular transaction limit (which you can usually choose yourself).

> Moral is subjective after all

This statement is not as self-evident as you seem to believe. Philosophers and ethicists have been debating it for millennia.
You can configure Linux to return ENOMEM errors. The theory is that most applications will effectively treat this as fatal and die; so, would you rather kill the app that happened to make the most recent memory allocation or would you rather kill the app using all the memory (and have some control over keeping processes like sshd from dying)?

I've tried using a VM with overcommit turned off and a modest amount of memory. Among other things, my mail reader, mutt, used more than half the system's memory when looking at my mail archive, so it couldn't fork to exec an editor to write a new mail.
The Wall Street Journal and Twitter are not equivalent.

Due to the monopoly of control on social media right now, companies like Facebook, Twitter, et. al. are the new public spaces. Due to their unique position as monopolies over the popular communication mediums of the day, they are able to make decisions about what very large segments of the population have access to. Google even moreso.

If the WSJ was one of 2 or 3 news publications in the entire world that people got their information from, them choosing to not a run a story or firing a particular journalist would be a big deal.
You never know if it's counted correctly, though, so it sounds like the auditing challenge remains
I am Canadian. I have no direction for a website, pondered a few ideas over the years, but no exact need for a website at this point in time. But now that I own my domain perhaps I will slap something together and see what comes if it. But like I mention I know very little about how to do any of this. But I do like reading HN so information is something I find interesting. I hope I can find some obscure way to use my domain.
Auto-Generate Ruby API Client (Faraday) for REST APIs
We've added Faraday support to OpenAPI Generator (https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator). To generate the Ruby API client (Faraday as opposed to Typhoeus) given an OpenAPI/Swagger specification file, please follow 3 simple steps below:

1. Download the Java JAR (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/openapitools/openapi-generator-cli/4.1.0-SNAPSHOT/openapi-generator-cli-4.1.0-20190806.012415-118.jar)

2. Rename the JAR as "openapi-generator-cli.jar"

3. Run the following command to generate a Ruby API client for the Petstore API (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml):

Mac/Linux:

$ java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g ruby -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml -o /var/tmp/ruby/ --additional-properties library=faraday

Windows:

$ java -jar openapi-generator-cli.jar generate -g ruby -i https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/master/modules/openapi-generator/src/test/resources/2_0/petstore.yaml -o C:\tmp\ruby --additional-properties library=faraday

If you've any feedback or question, please let us know via https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/issues/new

Yes, there have been male parents being discriminated against because some companies don't feel that men could ever be considered a "primary" guardian -- that designation is reserved for women, only. Thus, men can't get the full allotted paternity leave time; only women can. Just recently did the courts decide this is unfair; both men and women can carry the title and deserve equal time off. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/30/business/fathers-parental...

That said, I've seen cases where the opposite is true. Parents are treated well but other groups aren't. I know several friends working at a large, well-known, evil gaming studio. They've had controversy in the past surrounding how they pushed employees to work insane crunch. When it became public, they (moderately) changed. Project managers would never ask women to work late, nor ask an employee who is a parent. For parents, this is great... however, they pushed all that work to others.

If you're male, single, a PM asks you to work overtime (without pay) and you decline, it will be a detriment to your career. After all, you have no kids therefore no legitimate reasons to say no. Be prepared to receive negative, nebulous feedback on your quarterly reviews.

"It doesn't feel like this employee is a team player."

"I question their commitment to the project."

"This employee seems dispassionate about their job."

I've worked with a project manager who carried a similar sentiment. In a candid conversation, he said to my face that he'd never ask women to work overtime. However, if you're male and under the age of 35, you should, "know better." If you're getting into the tech industry, you should expect to work at least 10hrs/day.

I'm very happy I don't work with him anymore.

There's compelling evidence that industrial meat production has significant environmental impacts. (I'm not a vegan but am sympathetic to it). Yes, the vegan extremists go too far but that should not detract from the facts.

This appears to be a case of false equivalency.

Is urging you to not eat meat (whether or not it's really "right") controlling?

Do you believe that people are driven by incentives, with money being a primary one? Think about all the money to be made from fossil fuels, might they be highly incentivized to keep those pumps pumping so they can continue to make money?

There's several situations that need to be addressed in every VMM:

Cold pages - not being used

Warm/normal pages - average use pages

Hot pages - being used a lot

1. LRU/histogramming cold RO-code/RO-data pages to be paged out (dropped) or compressed when other pages are hotter and there's memory pressure.

2. Compressing or paging out to disk volatile RW-data when cold and other pages are hotter and there's memory pressure.

3. Pinning in memory (compressed and/or uncompressed) pages that are hot for performance reasons, unlocking them when they become less hot or others become hotter.

4. Having the ability (like on macOS) to signal applications that the system is under severe memory pressure (say "SIGMEM", "SIGLOWMEM" or "SIGOOM"), and to drop volatile data that can regenerated or is ephemeral.
The single algo program is a proxy for "can this candidate think through things logically and come up with a good design, and explain it".

If you can do it, there is hope you can learn docker, k8s etc. However you can be "good" at docker, k8s from courses without being a competent programmer (but a good systems admin).

Also a company has to deal with 1000's of applications and unfortunately they need early filtering stages, they don't have the resources to look at that many Githubs. Let's say it takes on average 30 minutes per Github to evaluate - that 500 hours per 1000 candidates, of which that time is coming from people who should be doing Engineering tasks. Even if they can afford it, it will slow down the process too much.

And then how to evaluate Githubs? - did they just fork something? Was it their code? Did they get help? Etc.

Github is maybe OK for a later stage interview where the investment is worth it to discuss the projects with the candidate in an interview. It could be a nice alternative to a coding test. But you need an interview to get a feeling for if they really wrote the code.

My advice - be a good dolphin, and learn to jump through this hoop.

It's like the driving test where you need to prove you can "reverse around a corner" - something I have never done while actually driving.

Nativescript has supported the web worker paradigm for multi-threading for a while now[0]. Also, I'd like to point that for a lot of applications (especially the ones that are basically informational without much interaction or client-side work, this actually isn't an issue early in the development process.

I've used Nativescript on client projects, and it is fantastic for prototyping, with well demarcated paths to performance optimization. Since you can easily use native screens/controllers/etc with it, at the very least you can use it for fast prototyping then drop all your custom code in.

Do you know of any hybrid frameworks that are not running JS code on the main thread by default? And by JS code I assume you mean display-related code, because Flutter suffers from this same issue, do too much hard work on the main thread and it stalls (as anything would). Even on android itself[1] you need to do some extra work to make sure your UI-related heavy lifting happens off the main thread:

> However, when the main thread’s messaging queue contains tasks that are either too numerous or too long for the main thread to complete the update fast enough, the app should move this work to a worker thread

But wait, where did company X buy their shares from? They must have bought them from somebody. Therefore somebody got that money. Moreover, your shares in the company increased. If you had 1 share to start with, after the buyback you have the equivalent of 2 shares. Your "dividend" is the extra share, which the company bought for you using the cash they would have otherwise paid out.

Whether or not any individual sells on Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with their anti-competitive practices.
Unfortunately enabling swap in linux has a very annoying side effect, linux will preferentially push out pages of running programs that have been untouched for X time for more disk cache, pretty much no matter how much ram you have.

This comes into play when you copy or access huge files that are going to be read exactly once, they will start pushing out untouched program pages to disk, in exchange for disk cache that is completely 100% useless, even to the tune of hundreds of gigabytes of it.

Programs can reduce the problem with madvise(MADV_DONT_NEED), but that only applies to files you are mmap()ing, and every single program under the sun needs to be patched to issue these calls.

You can adjust vm.swapiness systctl to make X larger, but no matter what, programs will start to get pushed out to disk eventually, and cause unresponsiveness when activated. You can reduce vm.swapiness to 1, but if you do, the system only starts swapping in an absolute critical low ram situation and you encounter anywhere from 5 minutes, to 1+ hour of total, complete unresponsiveness in a low ram situation.

There _NEEDS_ to be a setting where program pages don't get pushed out for disk cache, peroid, unless approaching a low ram situation, but BEFORE it causes long periods of total crushing unresponsiveness.
