I don't think that would work for me.

First of all, I prefer to have less on my screen, not more. I believe that the less visual clutter you have on the screen the better you feel and the more productive you are.

Second, activating tagbar adds a bar on the right. That means my code window will shrink. But my code window is exactly the size I like it.

Third, I would have to trust those many thousands of lines of code by "someone from the internet".
It's true, shrug. I distinctly remember thinking "Why don't other people make the right decisions?".

I'll admit including it is patronising and in itself immature. Maybe this is my "Why don't people realise that other people are complex beings?" moment and in another dozen years I'll be chiding my past self again!

> why aren't people more outraged at the near constant censoring of alternative voices in the West?

This is making a false assumption that the "censorship" is because of being different instead of those people not following super strict terms of service like "please don't use our service to start mass harassment campaigns of other people" or "don't advocate for genocide".

Hell, the constant complaining about twitter ("the hell site") on its own platform is proof of something.

You're saying "X happened to person with characteristic Y here, and people are cheering, therefore it's because of Y". That's rarely what's going on.

Most people are fine with China Daily being on Twitter in principle, just like Voice of America has an account despite it being basically American propaganda targeted abroad. The problem came in the specific actions being taken by these people.

The orchestrated unison happened after Polin Cowell gave his presentation for war at the UN. As the phenomenal article from USA Today you referenced mentions, his case was hardly compelling and full of aspersions with no unquestionable evidence (which is largely because as in hindsight we can now realize - such evidence did not exist), but that didn't stop the usual suspects of the New York Times, Washington Post, etc from not only unquestionably parroting it, but actively working to try to persuade people to support the war. That is why I do not think it hyperbolic to refer to what they engaged in as propaganda.

In checking out USA Today their coverage of Hong Kong [1] today also seems remarkably level-headed in contrast again to the New York Times, Washington Post, et al - which are presenting the situation in a sensationalized and single-sided fashion. Unfortunately more tempered coverage seems to gain little to no traction, then and now.

With Cats or ScalaZ you can get Haskell-like syntax, and the advantage over Haskell is that Scala runs in the JVM and it provides interop with Java libraries.

Why does this post have so many points? How is that article useful to most readers? I sometimes don't understand HN.

Performance matters... the article talks about a case that most of us aren't confronted with.

Beside, it concludes that in spite of paper being slower, it's still prefered, so how does that prove that "performance matters"?!

Should an article be upvoted just because an article is about life and death and has a catchy (pretentiously) laconic title?
You can try the following things :
You could try using forms/surveys and also you could try out sending periodic newsletters about the latest happenings related to your business line.
Keep a catchy subject line.
Use bulleted points instead of paragraphs in the email.
Keep a personal touch in the content like use their first or last name in the greeting, sign off with your name instead of the website team

Within Google, there is plenty of wasted capacity, but getting capacity for a service to scale up is a fiendishly difficult task. They even employ hundreds of people whose main role is to try to allocate all the various types of resources to teams. "Oh - you want 1700 GB of bigtable in Reliability zone 3 in Atlanta? I'm afraid your department doesn't own any there - you can trade with the ads department who aren't using theirs, if you give them 2Tbits of network bandwidth between Peru and Brazil? That trade will only be till the end of the quarter though, because then they need it back."
I'm working on a site right now that doesn't do any SSR—it's just an index.html with a bundle.js on it. Google indexes it fine and surprisingly we have great SERPs. 2nd result for "trillion trees"

It is perhaps possible that google indexed it from a previous version that did have html, or they are using a sitemap.

(I've just joined the project, and I intend to get them set up with proper SSR soon.)
Most security companies seem to fall in one of two categories:
- consulting
- appliances (aka blinky boxes)

Consulting seldom requires venture capital and cannot scale at the level VCs expect.

Blinky boxes can, but customers are slowly catching on to the fact that adding another blinky box to the network is really not improving their resilience all that much.

On top of that, it's not always easy to identify the real economic buyer in an organisation, and e.g. a CISO might not have the authority to decide on installing new appliances but needs to collaborate with e.g. IT. It all makes for convoluted and longer sales cycles.

One additional point is needed to complete the picture. Life sciences research is now almost completely dependent on technologies and reagents provided by a small number of commercial entities. Building custom equipment or synthesizing reagents has become almost impossible because institutions have gotten rid of their science support facilities and staff.
I built https://aktu.io, it's a rss reader with machine learning and news aggregation.

Main features are:
- items in your rss feeds are automatically categorized, names of people, places, etc... extracted. That means it's way easier to browse/filter your feeds when you have thousands of articles waiting to be read...

- items in your rss feeds are grouped together if about the same story. It really helps to reduce the noise in your feeds as you don't have duplicates any more, and at the same time it's convenient to have different sources/point of views for articles in your feeds.
GitHub doesn't do anything but centralise a bunch of services other companies (including Microsoft) have SaaS for. There's literally hundreds of git hosting platforms, kaban boards, issue trackers, CI services, code search tools out there.. All GitHub does is bring it together. It does not really have any kind of lock-in.
Humans are notoriously bad at balancing short term profit (a bump in nicotine satisfaction) and long term harm (lung cancer).

Humans absolutely need to be protected against themselves in this case.

It is similar and it is different.

One difference is that Arizona was founded as a state earlier than Israel, so people feel that "it's older, so it is OK now".

Another difference is that America decided "all the land is ours", then herded the Navajo into reservations. In Israel we built in specific places and the Bedouins continued to be nomadic around us.

Note also that the Bedouins were until recently very nomadic, but today few Bedouin are nomadic. When the Bedouins were nomadic they would roam huge areas, but "occupy" only a small area at any one time. From what I understand, the idea "this land is OURS" didn't pop into anyone's mind, each family (Hamula) would roam and they pretty much did not need to bother fighting over land. Only when permanent settlements started being built, and thus land was removed from the common pool, did this become an issue.

Another issue is that today, a sort of "land war" is happening between some Bedouins and the state of Israel. I actually believe that the state stared the problem and then it escalated. In a nutshell, the state is forcing Bedouins off some settled land and in response the Bedouins are starting to claim more lands as "permanent settlements". In one particular case that I'm aware of, the Bedouins have been pushed off a parcel of land and then returned over 100 times. We're not talking about grazing land, which there is enough of for everybody to share and build on. We are talking about tents and stables and families. There is a huge difference between the state building a town on a corner of the grazing land, and the state forcefully remove people from these places. The former is the case 99% of the time, but the latter is happening and any decent person will, as I am, oppose it.
But as I said, you’re not brute forcing the entire key space because you likely have an idea of at least some of the bits.

I'm currently in YC startupschool with a security startup, here's what I think is the problem: security doesn't scale easily on the marketing side. For most businesses security equals costs, and no quantifiable savings.

Most business don't have budget allocated at all for security. Big corps are the exception, but then you'll have the trust issue: they are unlikely to do business with startups when it comes to security.

I have also found that it's hard to find security experts who are willing to work for a startup. Given the salary options that security techs can get at big-corp/government/military, it's hard to be able to compete.
Thank you for sharing this video! It certainly clicked for me.

I strongly suspect that most work was spent on hardware support for the different dive computers and maintaining the drivers. It would surprise me if Linus did not have a bunch of scripts that automatically filled in most of the log fields, which then explains why so relative little efforts has been put into the UI.

I would imagine that the pain of maintaining the hardware support for dive computers is similar to supporting the computer inside cars. Multiple manufactures, multiple models, basically no standard and everyone wanting to lock the users into their own ecosystem with their own cloud sharing social network, and likely filled with ads for products of their own stuff and paying partners. A open source project would basically have to choose a very small subset which happen to be similar enough to reverse engineer the protocol, a handful specific devices which are so extremely popular that there will be a developer dedicated to each of them, plus that one company which is open source/free software friendly.
I used to get very anxious when I would post on Instagram especially when I had my notifications turned on. Now as I have gotten older I find I care less about the interactions I receive but more about the quality of each post. Especially as a media student it is sometimes difficult to not think about the quality of the content I am sharing with my followers.
Yup, that would be illegal in Illinois for sure
Why do you think "safety deposit box" is a "safe deposit box", just because of the name and branding?

Give this a try, go open and put some rock in your safe deposit box, then call the bank and tell them you placed a C4 explosive in the box and will detonate it if they dont deposit gold under a park-bench in 2 days time.

Then watch how safe your safety deposit box is.

That may be because Amazon Prime doesn't make sense in some countries. Example: Free two day delivery doesn't make sense if you can expect free/cheap next-day delivery from local webshops.

Other Amazon Prime benefits requires that Amazon have a local presence in your country or area, so it makes sense that it's limited to countries where Amazon at least have distribution centers.

Not a fan of YAML, but it has its advantages over JSON, such as the ability to comment specific portions easily.

EIPs are free when attached. And public addressable instances in AWS do not need an attached EIP, that's only if you want the public IP to be static and to be able to replace the instance without updating DNS records. So both are free compared to GCP's paid.
To be clear, this is a cultural lineage that dates to approximately 1000BC -- so, yes, I'd be quite sad to see it die out. America is great, but we don't have very strong cultural traditions today. So I admire groups that have longevity -- their culture will likely have a longer duration than ours.

Though, I'd love to see America only fading away in the year 4776.
You are putting words to my mouth. I was referring to words: 'To them, they live in a society with restrictions, but they've all benefited immensely from it in the past decades.' I think this is ok reasoning in my opinion. I think it is OK for a government to arbitrarily censor information to the public as long as they are serving the public good in other areas. governments are not perfect. If you ask my opinion, I think it is stupid to censor information. From what I observe, having access to censored information will not make public against government, sometimes it can make them more pro-China. Government is really thinking more about stability, they don't want to people to be either nationalists nor rebels. Information cannot be censored, it works because people don't really care.
I would say subsurface is to dive plan apps what calibre is to ebook management software. An all in one solution that works and imports from a variety of dive computers through libdc (a subsurface fork of libdivecomputer).

Alright, not git or linux, but not having to deal with crap spyware from the companies behind dive computers puts it on the same level of not having to install printer/scan drivers on linux. It kind of "just works", in the quirky way of some things that just work on the FLOSS world.

One problem with all of those ideas about "the end of capitalism" is that they are missing the core point of capitalism itself, which is having money (i.e. financial assets, i.e. the "capital") as a store of value.

The article uses the comparison with the end of feudalism, but feudalism only ended once one form of value store -- the land -- was replaced by another -- the capital. As long as some form of society exists, there will be a need for a way to store and transfer value.

There is reason (mostly anecdotal so far) to believe that vaping is a more reliable way to keep people off tobacco. Patches and gum have pretty low success rates.

There is also reason to believe (though more research is needed) that vaping removes 90+ percent of the harms of tobacco use.

Banning them then looks like an overreaction and would be counter-productive. Restrictions on advertising and other methods to attempt to cut down numbers of new addicts? Sure, that seems more reasonable.
