Touchscreens, like RGB lights or a numpad, are one of those things I specifically want my laptop to not have, regardless of if it can be disabled. I don't want to have to pay extra for it, I don't want the battery hit, and I don't want something designed by someone who thinks it's useful. All the touchscreen laptops I've seen have poor picture quality and the actual screen looks recessed from the glass, making it jarring to look at. It's not a good workflow for me to have to take my hands off of home row to navigate either - I do all my mousing with a thumb on the trackpad.
Government could subsidize the price of lumber. You want it to be a more economical alternative than farmland. Then leave things like efficient use of water, tree density, and type of fast growing tree to the market, those are probably already optimized.
Yev here -> Hah! It's less expensive and as long as failure rates are below a threshold for us - we will usually skew less expensive. Now, if failures start creeping up there's a lot more math involved, but since we're built for failure, we are very calm when a drive fails.

In some environments when a drive goes down, everyone goes into "red alert" mode and they have to rush to repair the drive or replace it. In our case we don't have to drop everything and run to it - so it helps keep the overall replacement costs down.
I’m sorry but this feels really hand-wavy to me. What did you feed your model for it to learn how to build vuejs sites? Vuejs template language is total chaos if you haven’t put in quite a bit of time with vue before, there are 2 or 3 ways to do everything. I am having trouble believing this was auto-generated from a deeply learned model. How do you write css, are you writing sass, vue inline styles, or something vanilla? Are you bundling with with webpack, what custom modules does your webpack use for handling those inline svgs? So so many questions about how and if this was auto generated...

It's a form of ad fraud. P&G isn't paying ad farms intentionally.
Those are solid state components, though, and they exist (or can) in the downwash of the rotor, so it really shouldn't be that hard to keep them cool.

I'd think the motor and rotor itself would be much more likely to be the problem.
Depends on what you compare it with. Compared with Netherland, rural France is very sparsely populated.

But even in rural Netherland (it exists!) you need a car. We're really talking about cities here. In a well-designed city, you shouldn't need a car unless you need to go to a rural area outside the city.

Unless we can link to a status page or other discussion of Kiwi Farms, linking to them here seems to only make things worse.

I'd never heard of it so here goes (from [1]):

> Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums, is an American Internet forum dedicated to the ongoing harassment and stalking of online figures and communities it deems "lolcows": the eccentric, artistic, or mentally ill.

It's likely a target of DDoS related to the mass shootings here in the US this past weekend. Is there a specific role they played in these specific events or is it just retribution for their rejection of norms?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms
For those who don't know: Kiwi farms is a forum dedicated to being mean to people, particularly women who have an Internet presense, in weirdly obsessive threads that go for thousands of posts.
I think this sentiment exists solely among people that don’t actually own any NVIDIA hardware. I‘ve never had any problems with their drivers, any crashes in video games can be usually be attributed to be at least in part the Games fault. In contrast to Windows Linux has abysmal support for restarting crashed video drivers.

Yev from Backblaze here -> If you have a lot of data (over 4TB) I'd recommend a local NAS or a simple Drobo to hold the data locally in addition to Backblaze for the computer. If you get a NAS we're integrated with a few NAS vendors with B2 cloud Storage so you can also have those NAS systems directly moving data to B2 as well (separate cost structure - but good stuff).
Zapata in an interview after the crossing indicated his invention calls on lots of core muscles, I assume in order to stay on top of the device. So forget about shouldering a gun on that thing.
> Other CDNs are also ethical for not banning it.

No, this is where you're missing the point.

There will be some CDNs who do not make the ethical choice. That's a fact of life.

I am uncomfortable with government intervention that makes the ethical choice the legally required choice in this case, as I'm wary of fucking with the First Amendment. (It's also somewhat a fool's errand, as you can host a CDN outside of US jurisdiction if you really want.)
Children don't process things the same way adults do, partially because just about everything they experience is new in a fundamental and total way that isn't true for adults. They can be prepared by adults for events but typically they'll still have questions and anxieties about them.

Would it? It's using libraries for the heavy lifting already.
There's a high chance you'll go try to vote as someone who simply didn't register. In California you could then register as that person and vote provisionally, but polling officials will check your identification.

Alternatively you may attempt to impersonate someone using vote by mail. In that case, there won't be a ballot to vote at the polling station, and even if you are able to successfully register provisionally or convince polling workers to give you a blank to fill out, election officials are already looking for these kinds of duplicates.
I wonder what the economic ramifications of this will be. While the article mentions free volunteer sources, I expect that in short order we're going to see a large number of these books available from commercial vendors for cheap or free. In fact, I fully expect there to be a cottage industry of publishers trawling the new public domain for hidden gems, and churning them out as cheap paperbacks for physical stores. And e-book stores will be giving away public-domain books as incentives to sign up for their services.

I wonder if we'll start seeing an explosion of film or TV series based on newly-free IP.
oh no what a tragedy...
Sure, but it might explode near people
Interesting idea but how maintainable is the code?

I've used a few tools over the years that automatically generate code, mostly in C, but I've usually had to rewrite it as it never fits in with any decent coding standard
I loved the part where you mentioned we should ‘Shut up and listen to them’.

This worked exceptionally well for DarwinMail [1], which I built to replace Google Inbox months before it was due to be shut down.

DarwinMail received initial traction from a Product Hunt release and a submission to the Show HN section (on the same day).

1. From day 1, I had a contact us option from which I received tremendous amounts of feedback which was instrumental to DarwinMail's development. Many requests & fixes were added to our Trello board via email feedback.

2. I created a public Trello board, from which every single user could see that I am adding their suggestions to the roadmap & working on them too. They could also see the future features.

3. For every user that joined our mailing list, I updated them every other week with the latest updates/fixes and features to DarwinMail.

4. I posted to Twitter regularly on various changes such as UI enhancements and mini-feature releases. I also had a lot of correspondence with users via this medium.

5. I gave away free lifetime coupons to anyone who would share DarwinMail with their friends. This generated a lot of momentum.

I hope this helps. While there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to getting your first users, I have learned so much from the experiences of others and so I hope I have provided the same kind of useful information for you.

I, uhh, what?
The government literally puts its name on the money it prints.
I wonder if we'll see a big move of such sites to ZeroNet or similar, it's fast and supports distributed databases, there's already a few imageboards on there looking to replace 8chan - 08chan and millchan. I'm sure it's hard for them to get users existing exclusively there, but adding clearnet portals to such services might do the job.
Depends on who he's meeting with and what industry. If it's an ad/service company where the design process is controlled by project managers or the clients... then I totally see where he's coming from in terms of meetings being a drag
Banning advertising would be the greatest imaginable victory for big brands and the end of small B2C business. The advertising that has already happened would get culturally locked in forever (would anybody forget Coca Cola?) and it would be illegal for new market entrants to change it.
Wow. I can't believe that anyone would ask to be interrupted every f'ing ten minutes for nothing.

> Even then the browser would still need to know to which websites the user could share. The user would first need to select websites and services they want to use.

They managed multiple search engine options just fine and mobile browsers implemented sharing without issues. I don't see a pressing need for user configuration (websites with share buttons don't allow this either), it would have meant potential additional revenue also for Mozilla & Co.

OTOH, they failed to fix "mailto:" for webmail ...

AFAIR toolbars added sharing buttons early on.
Not all of those APIs are published or available via standard libraries...particularly with newer services.
At this stage we are working hard to solve this simple problem of going from a design file to a front-end boiler plate. No animations or logic. We are looking forward to get as much feedback as possible from our users to understand where to go next.

I measure them and they do work. Email is clicked the most by users, but Facebook provides the most traffic back to the site. The native sharrow (on iOS) doesn't mean anything to older users, but a Facebook/Twitter/Email icon does.

The rationale for disabling overcommit only really makes sense if physical and virtual memory consumption are in the same ballpark. That's true for some workloads but not generally true.

There are totally legitimate use cases for processes that use significantly more virtual memory than physical memory (since virtual memory is relatively cheap, but physical memory isn't). A lot of programs are going to touch and not release all virtual memory they allocate from the kernel, but there are plenty of important counterexamples.

fork()/exec() is one example (which I've been burned by personally), but there are plenty of others. Any program that uses TCMalloc and has fluctuating memory consumption will have a lot of virtual address space allocated but not backed by physical pages. Sophisticated programs like in-memory caches or databases can also safely exploit a larger virtual memory space while keeping the amount of physical memory bounded.
Raising awareness of KiwiFarms is what is necessary.

The more the general public is aware of the existence of that place, the more pressure the general public will exhibit to ensure it is razed to the ground.
Web cams do have memory, and do a remarkable amount of post processing on the frames, hence the latency.

The alternative to regulation is if innovators could figure out a model where micro-transactions or payment for content actually work.

Because it's not like advertising is even that lucrative to begin with. Even Facebook, which is the king of ad monetization, only does about $120 annual ARPU for American users (and a lot less in other regions). That sounds like a lot until you realize the average user spends 38 minutes a day on the site. That's 30 cents per hour of use.

That comes with the clutter of the ads, the loss of privacy from all the tracking, much slower page loads, and lower content quality since the content algorithm's optimizing to maximize ad spend rather than user delight. I'd posit that the vast majority of Facebook users be much happier with $0.30 an hour for the much better ad-free experience.

And that's even in the most extreme ad-tilted case. Now consider a run-in-the-mill site like Reddit. Their annual ARPU is only about $1.00. That means Reddit's literally monetizing fractions of a penny per hour of use. I'm absolutely positive that all but those who are so cheap they're on verging on mentally ill, would pay one penny an hour to use Reddit.

Last year I was contacted on Linkedin by a headhunter at AWS for an opportunity in Ireland as a senior lead dev. At this time I was working hard toward a different destination, so it didn't exactly match my plans, but the "wow" effect of an opportunity in Amazon made me accept to "have a chat" with him, because I thought it was worth seeing if on the long term they could help me to reach my destination.

After I accepted, the recruiter asked me a CV. I gave it to him even thought my LinkedIn profile is far more detailed and qualitative than any CV. Then I received an email for a technical automated test, which was ridiculously easy.
Two weeks later, when I received an automatic email saying that I reached the first "candidate interview" step, I politely declined and explained why.

Copy/pasting my CV in a standard recruitment process and being handled like I had applied for the job by myself is not my definition of "having a chat" not of headhunting...

I already wasted the 4 first years of my career in a political and corporate "big company", thank you very much. I thought the ones like AWS may be different, but in the end it is seems to be the same corporate bullshit than in any big-sized company. I feel better working in human and really innovative startups with real entrepreneurs.

I don't see why people use Yelp other than the fact that they have a mindshare dominance on ratings. User generated/internet 2.0 style food ratings are basically useless anyway, add in all of the other shady stuff Yelp does and you have a hard pass from me.
"lolcow" is a way to denigrate someone who is excessively dramatic or responsive on the internet and should be 'milked' for reactions for the amusement of others ('lols').
Maybe some people are bored, but definitely not all of them. Stanford is a really exciting, interesting place for people that are intellectually inclined. But Google was born on its campus.

A good comparison is creativity in art. I know people who attend a ton of plays, for example, but that doesn't prevent them from creating new plays. Artists tend to cluster in space and in social networks (that is, schools of art) because they draw inspiration and ambition from other artists and their works.

I think it's not boredom, exactly, but being more interested in creation than consumption. For people inclined to consumption, we now have infinite amounts of entertainment. But plenty of people still like creating things for others, creating things with a real impact on the world. YouTube and GitHub make it clear that there are a lot of those people out there.
Ooh, I didn't know that journalctl could output json.

I recommend everybody do it at least for a while, and go back to it when productivity suffers. It's remarkable how well it can keep you focused- not screwing off when you know you're going to have to write it down if you do.
KeyChain is not an open standard and is not easily interoperable with other strategies or products. You shouldn't build best practice out of a single company's walled garden.
I'm sure the fast SSD helps to mitigate the relatively small amount of RAM, yes. I can't say to what extent.
A mixed-topic venue is precisely what they described:

> 8chan might be compartmentalized in a way that allows it to become an echo chamber of hate, but it also is highly connect to boards about general topics like video games, TV, and movies.

Nowhere in the OP is "the internet" specifically mentioned as a factor. It's all about the general concept of mixing it into other topics to make it palatable (which is precisely how radicalization usually works online and offline, see also eg. biker gangs), and an online message board just happens to be the context in this particular case.

In some sense it's very democratic for leaders to promise the moon. It's a bit worse for countries where coalition governments are the norm. Parties hide behind the coalition when they can't (inevitably) make everything happen they promised in the campaign for votes.
See the follow up comments about the experience in the Reddit thread. Everything bounced off this guy. He even thought he had “got me” by asking “what happens when the words are really long?” And I was like, “if the average word is long, that just means there are fewer of them for a given n and it cancels out.” I then clarified definitions about what “n” refers to and showed how it’s the same thing as “average word length L times number of words w”.

I even asked him what he would need to see to believe it was O(n) and he had no answer.

Nothing worked!
It looks like it's just applying a bunch of filters/convolutions to the image. You could write it in C++ to be pretty quick, in CUDA you could get it down to microseconds I think.

Though that does not take account of the latency of the webcam itself.

Where can you get unlimited mobile data plans in Germany?
Not entirely true. A lot of optimizations theory and practice are are straight-up inequalities.
My claim is very simple: by being able to solve moderately-hard MO problems, you are developing excellent mathematical problem solving skills that let you solve problems in other branches of mathematics or draw interesting connections, because MO problems require ability to solve problem that are at the intersections of different branches of mathematics.

I frequently see topics similar to this one popping-up on HM and a lot of people interested in learning or re-learning math as an adults. Excellent ! So let them learn discreet mathematics by solving problems in algebra, combinatorics and number theory. Once they are comfortable, they can move on to more abstract subjects.
My view is very similar to Concrete Mathematics, by Knuth, Patashnik, Graham. Their "concreteness" is very down to earth: combinatorics, number theory and few other things in the mix.
It is highly contextual to the recent stories that have made it to HN frontpages: 8chan getting banned by Cloudflare[1], and subsequently, by its hosting provider[2].

What it means to develop in the open
Here's a post I wrote about taking my open source influences and applying them to the release cycle of our commercial software product:

https://www.flipsidexr.com/blog/post/70/what-it-means-develop-open

I tried to explore some of the differences and challenges, some community building challenges we've had, and how it's helped us overall. I wouldn't recommend a lot of products necessarily follow the "release early, release often" philosophy in the same way, or at every stage of their product lifecycle, but there are likely similar cases where it may be beneficial to consider.

Shameless plug, a similar project with a simpler-to-use design:

It just needs a stylesheet and vanilla JS - so no dependency on jQuery and node.js, no build shell script required, and makes no external HTTP requests (uses simple SVG icons embedded in the JS).
