Stop it and focus on one single web app instead that anyone can run. Unless your app is going to be in the top 10 that people can't miss downloading.
It wasn't clear why they are using VoIP for WhatsApp. Sounded like it was because it allowed more background processing?

I doubt they would ban end to end crypto, but you are right, it is more of a locked down system.

Edit: keep reading. People explain this nicely below.
Quite a sight to see. I'm surprised that the build process is able to efficiently use up all of those cores. Plus I see you've got 64 GB memory, quite a beast of a machine. Care to share some more hardware specs and some details about the build process? (Compiler, language, purpose?)
Standing at a crossroad in my life right now, your friend Michael has some really insightful quotes. Thank you.
I see it as more similar to cl-cpp-generator (https://github.com/plops/cl-cpp-generator). It's not a new programming language: it's a Lisp surface syntax for C that inherits Lisp metaprogramming capabilities.

That's not really correct, is it? Google decided not to comply with censorship laws (which I think is a good call), they weren't outright banned. There's a difference between "you must not operate in our country" and "you must not operate in our country without adhering to local laws".

Well at least she was honest and self aware. There are legions of tech support tales of users just lying their mouths off about having taken troubleshooting steps they hadn't, techs started making up workaround so users had excuses to do the thing they'd said they'd done.

"Unplug it and blow on the connector" is a classic, the point is not to blow on the connector, it's to give the user an excuse to actually check the connection / fit after they've told you they have already despite there being 99 chances out of a 100 they have not.
They haven't been blocked in China, they don't operate in China because they don't want to support China's censorship and authoritarian population control.
Part of the reason Maglite is so popular with security guards is that it's a weapon that also doubles as a flashlight and thus becomes legal to carry around.
> You want to solve a problem caused by shortages with policies that historically always causes shortages? (Socialism)

Introducing socialized single payer healthcare is not socialism, no matter what the Republicans are spouting.
I read this article as a promise of an utopian future. The good guy comes, builds high-speed railroad and cities on the side without government’s money. Might be good chapter for some modern bible. It is just too good to be true. There is longer Forbes reading about building new cities and it’s not going to happen without will and government’s resources: https://www.forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2017/12/12/why-hund...
I use mbasic.facebook.com on my phone (since there is no messenger on facebook's mobile site). Reading messages on mbasic doesn't remove the "new messages" notification from the regular website. That is to say, this might also be a technical issue, i.e they keep state of "messages read" per front-end.

And, of course, it's an engagement thing probably, too.
That’s a good point. I walk all the time, travel by train a lot, don’t own a car, and thus weight (and volume, btw) are really important. Probably if you’re not carrying a lot of stuff in a single bag and walking everywhere with it, you care less.
I looked at the link. They actually were also having people stay up longer, so I don't think you can conclude that.

The brain also "resets" during sleep. As part of that process, it shrinks substantially.

Aa you do stuff during the day, synapses swell as they see repetitive use of the same pathways. This reinforces those ideas or actions, crowding out other things. In order to restore short term memory formation and the ability to learn new things, your brain has to reset at night.

There's also interesting research on two proteins, amyloid and tau, that accumulate faster when people are sleep deprived. They are both associated with Alzheimer's.

One of them rapidly resolves when you get caught up on sleep again. The other doesn't.
> If Brin lived in Russia, spoke Russian, and wrote books in Russian we wouldn't call him American just because he wrote a few books in English too.

But if he spoke Enlgish, had an English name, lived his professional life in America. and most of his major works were in Enlgish.

I'd supposed you'd call him an "Anglophone" academic, which is the sense that Arab is used in.
Thinness really matters to me. My last laptop was much thicker than a MacBook and it limited what I could fit in my bag. I’m comparing with a standard dell or whatever, not a MacBook-like Lenovo etc.
Google assistant is so much better to look up information and understand what you want.

I use Alexa, Siri, and google assistant. And others don't come even close to assistant when it comes to understanding what you mean and the context. Or even understanding what I've said.

You can ask it stuff like "What's the name of the blonde actress from that new tarantino movie" and you will get the result (works on google.com too), then you can ask follow up questions about her.

This also carries over into setting reminders, controlling smart home devices.
"Set a timer", "No, you know what, cancel it". It feels like talking to a person. And it sounds more like a person too.

The ONLY reason I use assistant the least of the 3, is the wake word.
Could just be the editing, but that line read like them admitting, "yeah we're listening all the time, it makes us money".
This is just false. Both Google and Facebook have been reported as seeking Chinese government authority to get re-enter the Chinese market this year, and neither Facebook, Google, or a large chunk of the rest of the Western internet is accessible in the mainland due to the Great Firewall.
Have been running my 6s since 2015 - alas, come iOS 13 we’ll likely have to upgrade the hardware or remain with unlatched critical known vulns.
Running a website is paying lip service to the problem. It's virtual help. You can't feed someone bytes. But go on thinking you're a superhero. While salvation army feeds tens of thousands per day.
You're far too quick to paint me with the brush of "enemy" simply because I can understand why sensible people are worried. That I tangentially refer to 8chan as bigots should have been enough to tip you off. Maybe you should allow a little color into your world of black and white.

I suppose you don't find historical things like McCarthyism very worrying, given how easily you are to think your principle of discriminating by choice separates what you judge to be good from what you judge to be bad. But do you really trust every imaginable leader with such a power?

Disney+ will be rolling out globally but I can’t see that this bundle will however (at least not in Scandinavia anytime soon) considering the ownership of sports rights outside of the US.
It’s worse than that even. Open platforms that are popular get commoditised easily, which squeezes margins for vendors, increasing pressure to monetize by any means possible.

The race to the bottom does benefit customers in terms of prices, but there are real costs in terms of the quality and trustworthiness of the products. The cheapest products are most likely to be monetising in shady ways.
That was changed recently, I get 'xbxcx' on 3.5 and 'xbxxcx' on 3.7

And coming to Perl vs Python regex differences, there are too many to count, Python's 3rd party module 'regex' is more comparable to Perl regex. For example, Python doesn't support possesive quantifiers, subexpression calls, \K, \G and so on

Your assumption seems to be that the actions of a few (which come with harsh consequences for others) are totally unrelated to the site at hand.

I am not sure if anybody who visted 8chan before will be convinced by that hypothesis. Other than violence in fiction and games, the discourses that take place over there at times do impact people’s lifes in a significant and negative way.

And it really doesn’t matter if it is on the internet or not, if your newspaper would house radical islamists discussing how to blow up the next building, you’d be shut down within a day (and rightfully so). Why should society treat right wing extremism any different?

Ethically Aligned Design by IEEE
I think what we as programmers or more largely knowledge workers miss is doing something which is physical and involves direct contact. Typing away on a computer in a room with dozens of others with the him of white noise is far off from that kind of experience. I like to cook, the experience of touching produce, cutting and cooking is a uniquely human experience. So, yeah get a hobby which allows you to do that. Disconnect and recharge.
The premise of an axiomatized system is that you can "mechanically" check proofs. So you can also invert the question and ask "Why the hell do we still prove things by hand?".

The answer to that is that there are no good tools and no universally accepted common notation that is amendable to automatic proof checking yet. Those are problems that projects like this want to solve.

I applaud the effort really; it's hard work, and people tend to ask more critical questions ("What is it good for?" "Theorem proving is for academics only") than for any other type of program.
It’s clear that it’s not who did the math first that gets recognition, but the person who makes the scientific leap to connect math to new ideas of how the world works.

Lorentz and Poincaré both had mathematical formulations that were the same as Einstein’s special relativity, but Einstein was the one who gets credit for connecting them to what we now call special relativity.
a) because they launch out over the ocean

b) because you can't turn a solid rocket off once you've landed

c) and because of the rocket equation any added mass costs so much more, if they could afford the mass for solids for landing they could just add more liquid fuel and do the spacex thing, that would likely use less mass

Is it given that 6s won't receive iOS 13? I bought mine because it's the only one still having an audio jack for my car stereo, and the 7 and 8 add nothing for me, except the price. Though maybe it's telling Apple themselves don't sell the 6s anymore.

National Certificate in Kazakhstan Is Canceled
Over the past two weeks, residents of Nur-Sultan, capital of Kazakhstan, have faced problems with access to the Internet. Officials explained that it was happening because of the new security system's testing. It was said to be a part of «Cyber shield of Kazakhstan» which allows to increase the country's defense capability and counteract information wars. According to previously received statistics, the authorities managed to inspect a third of all traffic in the Nur-Sultan city.

TSARKA assumed the role of a moderator in this situation and it seems that we managed to reach the top management of the country and convey our arguments. From our point of view, the optimal solution has been reached in the course of negotiations with the participants of the process.

A few hours ago we were officially informed that the tests were completed, all the tasks set during the pilot were successfully solved. Those who have established the National Certificate may delete it since it will no longer be needed. The need for its installation may arise in cases of strengthening the digital border of Kazakhstan within the framework of special regulations.

We don’t know how you guys are, but we breathed a sigh of relief when we heard about this news. Everyone got their own: we got the free Internet, the government got an instrument for fighting digital weapons.

P.S. We are especially proud of our role in the process. It was difficult not to fall into a negative point and maintain neutrality, but now we are satisfied with ourselves.

How does a person with your background end up on HN? Honestly curious.
I believe it was The New York Times or New Yorker that hosted one a few years ago.

I think it considered all players the same opponent and used something like a markov model for predicting moves.

If you took it one game at a time it was really hard to beat. Apparently we all kinda feel now is the right time to switch to scissor. My only strategy for not loosing was to decide on the next 5 moves as randomly as possible and stick with it, as it would choose it’s moved based on wins and losses and I wouldn’t, making me less predictable.
It is only an indictment, not a conviction.

Those are just allegations, not facts.
I disagree, locality data such as ownership, modified date, comments, permissions even, should not be part of the file, it breaks things like repeatable builds, version control and anything where the contents of the file are considered static.

shadow files (._*) and directory clutter (.DS_Store/desktop.ini) are one solution, but they're ugly and frustrating, having separate areas in the filestore (like a resource fork, but designed to be ephemeral) are a much more sane solution.
Yeah...I've been introduced to that song with my niece. It is the most played youtube video by far in my house. The original has 3 billion views.....If I was to go postal that song would probably be the one humming in my head.
Yeah, this is my theory too. I use Tinfoil for Facebook on Android, and it shows I have 15 unread messages. Basically, every time I open Tinfoil while I have a new message I haven't read in Messenger, it increments, and that never gets cleared. If they were trying to drive engagement or to get you to install Messenger, why would they want the number to keep increasing well after you've caught onto the trick?
It doesnt post anything without your permission. And you can long hold the notification to suppress and never see them again. It's not that big of a deal
@TylerE

That's fine, not every task that is possible must be directly supported by the OS - third party apps to fiddle with data that is considered non-primary workflow like that is OK.
Mocking Is a Code Smell
I wonder how to do it on wayland
It's unreasonable because it violates user expectations. One click already makes the field editable and selects the text, having a second click change the text has no precedent whatsoever. It's also confusing because this means that clicking to position the insertion point suddenly moves the text out from under where you clicked (thankfully it does still place the insertion point at the right location, but that location is no longer where you're looking and pointing).

There's also just no reason for this. It's unnecessary overhead to showing the full URL and there's no benefit.

What else do you expect me to do?
Throwaway here. This bit me in the ass. (I think)

Quite a while ago I was on an AT&T family plan with my aforementioned family. An unexpected death in my family caused a falling out/estrangement situation which jeopardized our cellular service, along the lines of an intestate inheritance, forfeited property, decades of fraud/extortion...and my borderline personality mother becoming enraged at the fact that we would now be reassessing my family's troubled history in the wake of this tragedy. The result of these events were that my (quite old) AT&T smartphone service was unexpecgedly cancelled, leaving me out in the cold. I needed service fast, and got a sim card ASAP but I did not reckon that my (fully paid for) cellular device would be carrier locked.

This is my mistake of course, but the result is that I was, late at night, caught out with no functional device to use with my sim card, and a brand new MVNO service agreement. I took to the internet in order to find a solution, and ended up using my privacy.com account to pay for a rather sketchy Samsung unlock service, which worked like a charm.

Eager to forget this entire affair, I moved on with my life.

One day about a month or two ago, my Samsung handset began demanding a carrier unlock code. Confused, and in need of service, I shelled out for the nearest used smartphone thing I could find.

This was rather alarming as I was cut off, yet again, and until this day I had no idea how my handset had relocked itsself! my MVNO CSR couldn't help, bless his/her soul, insisting I would need to contact the carrier for the unlock code. Instead, I hit that thing with a hammer and called it a night.

After I used the dodgy unlock software which I paid a 20 for, I had monitored my handset for malicious activity via my personal security gateway but could never identify anything unusually malicious.

Now I have a backup plan, and carry a spare flip phone.

If your mother has access to lexisnexis, I might consider a restraining order if your situation sounds familiar.

I concluded that AT&T has rescinded these unlock codes, leaving untold numbers of legitimate users without a way to conduct business.

Carrier locked devices should be outlawed. AT&T appears to my naive eyes as a malevolent shitshow, much like verizon and comcast and other rent seeking walled garden extortionists. The history of these telephone companies precedes them, but gosh i wish that my real life didn't feel like it existed in Eve Online.
There are no prestige occupations where authority figures can’t preclude opportunities. Academia, medicine, law, any large bureaucracy, in any one of them if you piss off the wrong person your career is over. There are bad fields for this and worse ones. You could work for Citibank, realise that your career was being deliberately destroyed by a superior and you might be able to move to a competitor and get over it. Same for the private sector more generally. But if you work in fields that are either directly government run or depend on government funding, like medicine or academia, if you realise someone with power has it in for you just leave. You’re not going to win.

The idea that extreme bullying is anything other than a normal feature of bureaucratic organisations with no competition is farcical. It’s like believing in fairness or the tooth fairy.
I didn't downvote but your questions give me a strong impression that you are fishing for an answer that will allow you to conclude that 'top student' status is not (significantly) influenced by relevant skills but by other factors. Perhaps your comments would have been received better had you been more open about your own opinion/suspicions from the start. In their current form they feel like leading questions.

The answer depends on the state and/or prison in the US. Many prisons don't have computers. If they do have internet access, it is heavily limited and monitored.
This is an extremely poorly-argued point full of one-sided emotion. The fact of the matter is that no other career path even comes close to the risk-adjusted lifetime financial remuneration of becoming a doctor. Every once in a while, some other career will briefly take the spotlight, like pilots in the 90s, real estate agents, or maybe even software engineers today, but none of them last. Get your MD. Don’t talk to a 30-year-old resident about it. Look at how 60-year-old doctors are doing compared to a random sample of their peers. Not even close.
People are going to use the mobile app regardless. It's the first-class experience for mobile. People don't use the app because the website is poor; people simply use the app.

Or to put it another way, Yelp would be rightfully lambasted for not having a mobile app. Having a mobile app is table stakes for a site like Yelp. And if you've got all this engineering effort going towards a mobile app, why double your workload by also building a first-class mobile site? The mobile site just needs to be functional enough to satisfy the basic needs of casual users.
And these bits are put into checklist. In theory (and in my experience) they are performed at the beginning and towards the end of every operations. It’s the large decision space in between that struggles to be covered.
