It's disputed territory, but one thing is clear: that guy does not belong there and has no legitimate claim to that place whatsoever.
I wish I could find the attribution, but I read an interesting comparison - imagine somebody from 1880 who was transported to 1950, and imagine how shocked he would be at the changes in the world: cars, washing machines, television, airplanes… now transport somebody from 1950 to 2019. He would be impressed, but not overwhelmed, at the changes that have occurred in the same time period. Besides the computer, most of what we have now is just better versions of what they had 70 years ago.
I think Snapchat has a lot of potential, but they just need some more focus or an identity.

It's definitely an interesting space, and a more convenient and fast way to take pictures is a great idea.

I just feel like snap has been releasing a bunch of 'beta' hardware for a while now, but they should be at the stage where they can put out a real device with a sensible price, targeted at the average user.
I get the feeling that you are easily dismissing my points without having personally experienced the languages and ways of working I'm referring to. If that's true, then we can only agree to disagree as the only way for you to really see my point of view would be through familiarizing yourself with the paradigms and tools I mentioned.

I'll give you one example, for the last point, Python not being an interactive language. If you work in an actual interactive language (Smalltalk, Common Lisp, Erlang) you will realize what the term can mean when properly pursued and made the focus of a language, and see exactly how Python fails to live up to that.

This article helped me to realize I probably should be seeking help for anxiety. I always knew I had anxious tendencies, but I didn't ever think I was just "sucking it up" until I read this.

I grew up being taught that drinking alcohol is a sin and drugs are evil and your body is sacred. Although I don't hold those beliefs myself I can't help but be manipulated by them. In actuality, I think I'm glad I was raised that way because I think I could very well have fallen into a hole of substance abuse. I've had to learn to cope with my anxiety in other ways. I tend to get very stoic and hyper-focused on problems that make me anxious. I try to use logic to find solutions or--more likely--to find a way to run away and avoid the problem. It hasn't always been easy on my marriage; fortunately I think my wife understands these emotions I have better than I do.

I don't know if this is generally true, but for myself, I think the problem has gotten worse as my family has become more and more dependent on me to survive. My wife skipped getting an education to raise a family and as I make more and more each year and our lifestyle gets more and more comfortable then I feel this pressure building up to not fail. If my 18-year-old self could see me now he would be shocked. I'm totally risk-averse, far more introverted, and far more anxious. I don't think it's totally a bad thing, it keeps me and my family protected to a degree, but like everything in life it's a sacrifice. I sacrifice some unknown quality of life to keep what I have now.

I find that sometimes I wish it would all come crashing down. That I would lose my job, lose my home, or worse. I think I fantasize about these possibilities sometimes because although they scare me I recognize that I might need an external force to change a life with too much momentum. To be clear, I'm pretty happy. I love my family, I have a decent job with fantastic coworkers, I make good money. I don't have suicidal thoughts, I'm not "healthy" but I don't abuse substances. That's all great, but somehow it isn't enough by itself. I'm just an anxious man I guess.

"Not interested in politics" is an euphemism for clueless and easy to manipulate by those that are.

Conversely, there are also those who are "too political" and want to bring their politics into every aspect of their lives and the lives of those around them. People like this can be as toxic as those they are speaking out against.

The broken English and the weird "holy" part of the name alone give me the creeps. Not that I mind broken English as such (I'm not a native speaker myself), but the site doesn't show anything that points to the origin of its creator(s) (I'm guessing Eastern Europe or Northern Asia?) — it's all so abstract and feels off somehow.
That's a choice everyone's making. There are other ways, and big Ag isn't the only one. Sitting in the current solutions instead of looking to evolve them and learning from the past isn't how hypersanity works.

And yes, hypersanity is probably the most extreme form of privilege. Also, the back-to-nature theme is great, not merely fine, and something indigenous cultures are trying to reclaim as a human birthright. They're arguably way less privileged by your standards. Privilege isn't a reason to dismiss a good idea.

Treating nature as something to live with collaboratively rather than avoid or treat as subservient/separate from us isn't privilege. It's science. Mutualism > competition.
Who decides the categories? For example, what would the category say next to a cert for Amazon? Google? Netflix? What would the cert say for Slack (who pivoted from one industry to another)?

Attempting to embed additional visible info in the cert requires some centralized consensus, and trusted validation that certs being provisioned match the consensus. And all of this occurs despite the continued fact that end users do not even look at the certificate information anyways, so we’ve deployed a new central body with a bunch of administrative overhead and not moved the needle on actual security.

Alpine vs. Debian Container Images for Java / JVM Builds
Wow, I'm not sure I've ever read a story where every single character was so utterly unsympathetic before. These are the same kind of folks who routinely drag their scummy world view into civilization by throwing racist rallies in Portland.
People en masse are generally not well-informed and in large part irrational.

The West has had decades of support for Israel (whose existence has been detested by most of the ME since pre-inception) and the decades-long struggle for ME countries to obtain ownership of their oil resources while white guys were in the country getting rich off it created has created a powerful and lasting image embedded into the culture (not least aided by lots of opportunistic ME politicians drumming up anti-West sentiment for decades in the same manner Western ones drum up anti-immigrant sentiment).

China is too new, even if they're actually a more appropriate target for wrongs committed in 2018-2019.

There’s quite a large statistical literature on stopping rules for trials. Any trial that is stopped would have had to plan this in advance and an evaluation of his policy would be an important thing for the data monitoring and ethics committee to review, but shouldn’t be a cause for concern. OP is right to celebrate
Plenty of us still have CALS-mares. The Man will use license terms to control what you deploy and where and how - it's more than just a purchase of a Thing that you can use because it comes with FUTURE terms that can change, forever. See also weekend thread on Cisco locking users out of their own hardware.

This is why there is Free software -- free as in choice, not free as in beer -- so users don't get locked in or forced into something other than a simple purchase.

That really depends- if we get on war footing to address the problem like we confronted WW2 perhaps. If we procrastinate hunger, water scarcity, and conflict have a tendency to be destructive to knowledge.

So why rust then? Rust does not have a specification and it is currently still under heavy development, with many changes to the language expected to come out in the years to come. As many have put it before me, all of rust is technically undefined behavior. Change my mind -- I like the language, but I prefer those that have specifications and have multiple implementations so that the behavior is verified.
I will likely protest if HK Internet freedom is eroded, but to a much less extent than today when my real-life freedom is eroded. On that Monday when protesters flooded the subway, I was unable to get to work on time. I had to work late, and learned my lesson to return home by taxi, only to find that roads near my home were blockaded by protesters. I dare not express anti-protester views when I’m among group of radical protesters. I walked with them once, several weeks ago, when the protests just started and I thought they might have some valid points. I found most of them holding extremely biased and unrealistic views about HK or China, and can’t be reasoned with. I never walked with them again.
Thanks, andrevaillant. May be will need some help.
> But you forgot to tell us WHY it is acceptable for Microsoft to charge their customers a premium for using their fully purchased licenses on a cloud provider of their choice rather than dedicated physical hardware. And why it is ok for Microsoft to create an artificial monopoly for these licenses via Azure Dedicated Host.

Because they wrote and own the software you are interested in licensing. If you don't like the license, don't run the software.

Microsoft has the leverage that open source projects like Redis and Elastic wish they had on AWS (and why those open source projects are updating their licenses to combat AWS' profiting off of their work).

As someone else has mentioned, Apple restricts how and where you can run OSX/MacOS. I don't think thats going to stop people from using OSX/MacOS out of principle (typo corrected).
I understand, but the question was on how to overcome the unwillingness. I don't see any other way to overcome it than 'just do it'. It is not a physical addiction or a condition and bears no ill effects other than lost time and maybe some pride?
onsite pentesting for example. You want to train your employees to be aware of random cables and usb drives laying around, this is a good test to ensure your training worked.
>You don't get that in the real world.

Depends on the country. There are places with "mountains next to open grass lands next to coastline next to forests within a few miles of each other" (where few, eg. 100 miles). The world is not all like Utah US50 or whatever huge expanse.

But even so,

(1) there's something exciting on its own for driving in real-mapped as opposed to some fake designed terrain

(2) for certain games, it can main point (e.g. I can imagine a "route 66 hot rod race" or a "drive Monaco Rally" (and of course things like MS Flight Simulator, combat games, etc)

(3) There's absolutely no reason why a game couldn't use real world data and cherry pick different terrains for variability from those...

Maybe I just hit it at a lucky moment before, now it's failing again. Probably getting hugged to death.
That's kind of the point though. Everyone has a Hadoop/Kafka, but when it comes to actually getting things done, good ole MySQL to the rescue.

I honestly don't see the draw for Kafka. And by all means I get it, I just don't buy it. Maybe I'm just holding it wrong or something.
Don't SVGs have to have an XML declaration? I think that magic will fail to identify the content type of an SVG if it's not a valid XML file.
Supercomputers are computers with 10.000s of cores of consumer-like CPUs. So it is the opposite of your impression. They can only work with tremendously parallelizable tasks. I don't know the exact details of weather simulation or nuclear explosion but they would have to be parallelized to work on HPCs. Even if the computation is not parallelizable, the scientists can leverage supercomputers by running a simulation with randomized parameters at every node and reach a consensus result.
Just a suggestion:

Give users the option to hide the controls. You already let people hide the formatting, but in order for me to want to use this to write, I would need the ability to hide the top bar ie

Are you arguing against a business being able to update their licenses, as they see fit, to adjust to major changes in the market? That doesn't seem reasonable.

As a consumer, if you don't like it, you can always migrate away from Windows.

How did this crap rate publication in Scientific American? It's really just a Millennial version of "uphill both ways".

I'm 53, and the amount of technological change I've seen in my lifeime is astonishing. I can clearly remember the first time I saw a video game (Pong) because I was 8 or so - old enough for it to make a huge impression. The first time I used a cell phone in a memorable way, I was 36 years old (9/11, calling my spouse to tell her what I just heard on NPR). This is ubiquitous, world-changing technology that simply didn't exist when I was young.

Now, think of CRISPR and other DNA-altering technology, and what that will mean going into the next century. Think about renewable energy more or less completely replacing fossil fuel in coming decades. Think about the extraordinary amount of light-cognitive work, like driving, that will be replaced by automation.

Final perspective... I have a potentially deadly chronic illness that hit me a few years ago, but I've probably had latent since childhood. It affects children more than adults at onset. If it had happened to me as a child, I would have died. Now, it's an inconvenience.

Who are these hypothetical users who are going to conduct a thorough review of Whois/cert data the first $n times they go to a site?

I’m a security-conscious, technically savvy user of the internet, and I’m neither convinced I would put up with this for more than a day before disabling it or that it would improve my security if I were to try. I’m pretty confident my eyes would just start glazing over the 5th time I scrolled through cert metadata.
Yes, but let's compare Examine.com to let's say Forbes.com

When you read an article at Forbes, you are assaulted by scrolling ads, banners and other stuff from every direction. The appearance and experience is chaotic and clingy.

If we are going by appearances, why should Examine.com have worse search indexing than Forbes articles?

Here is an example from both:

>This has to be one data-set we get right; with self-driving cars coming, it could cause injury or death if we don't.

Self driving cars can't (and don't) rely on maps to prevent injury or death. They only use to know how to go from A to B in the most general way -- and they'd still need to check for bypasses, closed roads, etc... (on top of the real-time, processing of obstacles, vehicles, lanes, traffic lights, weather, and so on).
I'm used to hearing the terms time domain and frequency domain. But I've never heard pitch domain as a separate idea. Isn't pitch just the same as frequency?
I’m being pedantic here, but there are exceptions to that rule.

In SF, it’s common for car thieves to break windows using a small chip (size of a pencil eraser) of ceramic from a spark plug. The ceramic is super hard but light weight and can shatter a window easily.[1] being hit by it would barely register.

For a lot of people, psychedelics are the only path. The black iron prison is not just you and your worldview but the environment you choose (or not) to place yourself in and everyone you choose (or not) to interact with.

A consensual hallucination is kept alive and reinforced by the consensus. Take away psychedelics and few if any stand any chance of maintaining a conducive way of looking at things long enough for the mental shift / cascade / holy spirit descending on / knowledge and conversation with the HGA / initiatory state (different descriptions for the same underlying experience) to trigger. Something as simple and common as a 9-5 job is enough of a barrier, by forcing on you daily interactions / hallucinations to keep you away from the path. The black iron prison is the ultimate brainwashing agent.

Now also take into account that most don't even know there is a path, nevermind what it looks like. For these reasons and more yet unwritten, I am a strong advocate for psychedelics. They take away all the excuses and blast the gate to the mysteries to smithereens.

As it is said: "To Know, To Dare, To Will, To Keep Silent"

It is "knowing" that is so important or in other words direct experiential knowledge [1]

Once you know, you can dare and you can will.

> ...all of rust is undefined behavior

Do you have any links or an explanation that elaborates on this?
What irks me about this is I like to ride as close as I can to the fantasy of SDE == 8 hours of problem solving.

Meetings, sprint ceremonies, interruptions I've come to deal with as baggage that comes with the territory. But when I have to blow the dust off my olde Microsoft Licensing Nits and Pitfalls Tome and play license-lawyer again, that really sucks the life out of me.

Windows Server is a great product and I want to pay great money and use it without worrying about where in the cloud it's floating. Why even cut a distinction about what kind of machine is hosting your product, virtual or metal? Nevermind even talking about who owns that machine being an issue.
It's worse than you're describing- Microsoft is charging one licensing price if you're on their cloud but another price if you're on someone elses. This anticompetitive behavior is what we expected from Microsoft in the 90s and early 2000s.
How to create good headlines which get clicked
I sense there are certain parallels between this article and the one recently on HN about the challenges at Yale. As an "outsider" to both Yale and Google, I admit the problems in both cases seem over-wrought, but I can't deny that the people involved feel very emotionally invested so I am still curious to see what can be learned.

Both articles present insider perspectives lamenting how internal conflicts within highly exclusive organizations were pushed into the public sphere through leaking and protesting. Both organizations are experiencing disconnects between people in various roles (admins vs students, execs vs employees) and a sense of loss of culture.

So my thoughts are:

- is this a generational culture shift? Less trust in internal systems and better access to outside publishing means young people aren't making a real effort to stay within the system to discuss?

- is "internal transparency" an impossible thing at scale in the modern era? Keeping things internally private doesn't work because you only need one bad actor out of thousands to leak everything?

- are the culture of Yale and Google really that special, or were they just really well marketed? Why are people so personally and emotionally invested in these organisations? Are all big orgs like this now, or were the cultures at these particular spots just well evolved for loyal following?
I like the framing of tech debt as value-neutral; whether it's good or bad depends on how you use it (just like financial debt). Of course, all else being equal, you'd rather have zero debt.

One higher level consideration that's particularly relevant for early-stage startups, is that you often simply don't have time to build the ideal "tech-debt free" solution. Focusing on 80/20 solutions almost necessarily involves adding tech debt. However, if you're mindful about where you take on tech debt, and commit to tapering and then paying it down as your resources grow, then you're more likely to avoid the debt spiral where your development grinds to a halt, due to everything breaking all the time.

One other point I'd make is that a common form of "tech debt" for early-stage startups is simply doing things that don't scale; it's often beneficial to make your domain models flexible so that you can support one-off manual interactions, for example if a new customer appears that requires it. Then automate that thing and constrain the domain actions once you have collected enough use-cases to know what makes sense to forbid.
Progress has never been a linear slope of ever increasing capability in all technology areas. It's better to think of progress as a series of new directions that we couldn't access without the prior advances.
It's enigmatic, yes, but it seems to be the more common term amongst some atypical groups (neurodiverse and queer/trans people are who I have the most interaction with). There are some people who find unusual to be more pejorative than atypical.

I think we disagree on this. I interpret the failure of OWS et al. as the inability of the protestors to take their ideas mainstream. While gerrymandering, voter targeting and propaganda via mass media do dilute the protesters' votes, change is clearly possible. We saw this with the Arab Spring where the protesters were up against a much more authoritarian and anti-democratic state.

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem facing the American left is complacency. A lot of people still think things are going reasonably well and simply do not empathize with the concerns of OWS or the sunrise movement or the BLM movement. It's hard to move the needle politically if a significant minority simply do not believe that there's a crisis worth reacting to.
