>Chrome introduced a lot of neat new features (Porn “Incognito Mode,” multithreaded memory changes, tabs and more).

Now chrome is getting credit for in private browsing and tabs? (Safari and Opera respectively. Phoenix/Firefox popularized them long before Chrome was a twinkle.)

How long have browsers offered to save passwords? Seems like a lot of bad history in this article.

>The way existing password managers work, the vendor’s liability even if they are hacked is minimal. They don’t hold any passwords!

HUH? Yes they do.. They absolutely hold a copy of your password ... in the cloud.

>Sure, Chromium and the V8 engine are open-source, but they still belong to Google in a way that, say, TCP/IP or IMAP does not.

Im gonna feel really bad breaking the QUIC / HTTP/3 news. Cuz google totally wrote the new transport layer. They wrote the last one too (SPDY HTTP/2.) With this much market share, what google implements and forces the hands of the standards organizations.

>This is why Microsoft’s decision to kill Internet Explorer, once the leading portal to the web, and replace it with a Chromium-based successor says so much about its new direction as a company. I suspect that decision had more to do with clearly understanding Microsoft’s strengths and weaknesses than anything else.

Its primarily for two reasons. 1 is battery life, they want to embed blink into the os so programs dont need to bundle it (electron included.) 2 is because 99% of the web just targets blink now. I dont think you can credit "the move to ssas" alone with Microsoft finally abandoning IE derivatives.
OK :-D

Why ‘Radical Self-Inquiry’ Can Create a Thriving Workplace
I've never understood why iOS isn't more like macOS. There aren't really any technical reasons why this couldn't be.

It's common for the security argument to be used to justify Apple's practices, but Mac users have been perfectly fine installing third party apps such as Transmit, Adobe Photoshop, or even Google Chrome from outside of Apple's walled garden. I've been using macOS since 2007 and I've never had a virus or any security problem, nor anyone else I know using a Mac. From my dev colleagues to my 70 year old mother in law or my 15 year old nephew.

It seems to me the only real arguments for Apple's walled garden are economical.
Django brings a lot of concepts with it. It may be simpler to start teaching with Flask and build up from there until the need for something like Django becomes obvious.
Yes, and while I haven't run s/qmail myself, I have sometimes borrowed (and then usually refactored) some of his code, and have frequently collaborated with him on improving ucspi-tcp6, ucspi-ssl, etc. I'm still hoping he'll consider participating in notqmail development.

As someone who works for a high perf timeseries database (QuasarDB), the first thing I tell potential clients is to solve the problem with PostgreSQL.

For people who are still exploring their problem domain, using something as flexible as Postgres is a blessing. You’ll be surprised how far you can get nowadays in terms of performance with it.

Only once you properly understand your problem domain, and more precisely the limitations of PostgreSQL that you are running into, you can start figuring out your actual requirements and look for an appropriate database that goes with it.
Well there aren't any great alternatives. The state of general computing (as parent puts it) is frustrating, and people talk about it, sometimes by switching from a related topic. It's venting. Are there more productive ways of dealing with this? Maybe; but seemingly part of the frustration is that the average consumer feels powerless. Even your meta-post could be classed as a way to deal with this frustration. And, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss venting as a waste of energy: it raises awareness, and in the right setting it can lead to discussions of the cause, and what could be done about it.
A lot of things are starting to work like operating systems for performance and/or security reasons. We might need to eliminate the distinction in our thinking to get better results on new systems. Quite a few programmers and researchers already have, making things like you describe. Others are building from hardware up to try to make their implementations more 1-to-1 with how hardware works.
Who knows, maybe the social attitudes/standards will revert to those before the 90s, and then in a few decades we'll seem funny exactly because of our "outrage" at earlier times.

EDIT: such a reversal would not be unheard of -- if you read some communist texts from the 60s, they often talk mockingly of the capitalism of earlier decades, and congratulate themselves for having superseded those times. From our vantage point these 60s texts indeed seem outdated, but not because we have progressed even further along the path they had in mind :)
And it's tragic when you consider that LisaOS had multitasking, process separation, and I believe a hardware MMU.

The Mac grabbed most of the good UI aspects of the Lisa, but stripped out all the decent OS concepts. It worked to sell the first Macintoshes, but didn't scale out later, and by that time they'd killed off the Lisa.

I listen, his podcast is a great way to fill my commute. Here is what I think he does well:
-Give people room to "breathe" and get a sense for who a person is in every day life
-Expose a broader point of view/marketplace of ideas than the average media outlet
-seems to promote a general sense that everyone should strive for self improvement
-improve discourse for dissenting points of view

Here are some things that he doesn't do so well/don't like so much
-Can be one note(you need to do psychedelics/ayahuasca/intermittent fasting/twitter tribes)
-He touts that the long format is there to allow for nuance, but often there is not said nuance in the interview.
-Most times things wont be a deep dive.

I think that in terms of podcasting he has some of the most interesting guests to me, but I understand its not for everyone. I think Marc Maron is more of a traditional version of radio on demand format, and he has some good shows as well, but I find him more hit and miss. Sometimes Marc can be a bit exhausting to listen to when he is in an especially doom and gloom mood.

It seems like he is fast becoming a lightning rod for the far left, whom he is critical of.

I would love a plot focused on post war scenario in which neo has merged with the AI and peace rains. But there is a human/machine sect which is hell bent on starting another war. Or the plot could focus on neo breaking the matrix beneath the matrix addressing the weak plot explanation of human batteries in matrix 123. Or the plot could run focus on neo 1 and how the whole cycle of killing of humans every few hundred years even started.

Honestly this is awesome, i just hope that keanu is still up for it. He does not look the same as he did 15 years ago.
This is what I use for benchmarking: https://github.com/libspng/spngt, my platform is Debian 10, GCC 8.3.0 with -O3 on an i5-4670. I use -SPNG_SSE=2 because that targets SSE2 instead of SSSE3, this matches the Debian build of libpng, both are linked against zlib-ng. The results I get for medium_rgb(a)8.png and large_palette.png are the results on the charts.

The problem with Joe Rogan is that he’s the standard bearer for that weird form of anti–intellectualism masquerading as intellectual curiosity.

For a bit of background: His first big “gig” was on a (rather incredible, imo) sitcom in the mid-nineties called NewsRadio. Somewhere in his audition he mentioned that he thought the moon landing was a hoax, which at the time was probably the craziest thing that the interviewers had ever heard (we didn’t have vocal flat-earthers on the Internet back then). So they decided that his part would be just that, the crazy conspiracy theorist engineer guy. Fast forward.

I bet a lot of us had some kind of phase in college where you started to learn a little bit about the virtues of skepticism, then later post-modernism and deconstructionism… Some folks go down that rabbit hole and the next thing you know you’re up at 2am bleary–eyed insisting that this glass of beer in your hand is corporeal. The guy across from you keeps repeating “well, prove it,” and that ostensibly makes him a smart guy.

And now we’ve got flat–earth conventions and “fake news” and Joe Rogan on the internet having earnest intellectual conversations with the entire gamut of thinkers, politicians, crazies and scientists. The problem is that at the end of the day, he is, as he’s willing to admit, kind of a dumb guy, and this style of discourse is just making everything else dumber.
Don't want to spark a healthcare debate, but want to mention that I bet NONE of the non-US readers on HN would have given a single thought about the costs involved if this was happening in their countries.

It's wild to me that the potential financial impact of this was part of the picture for many of the US people reading it (especially the startup founders who are probably without insurance right now, and this would leave absolutely financially ruined for life).

The thing is that these people already treat us as disposably and inhumanly as they plan to treat their apocalypse guards. The situation after "The Event" is just a glimpse of some boiled down essence of how they already view the world and the rest of us. And they have always viewed us in this way, not just in the last decades. It's why so many CEOs are clinical psychopaths. Success in the rules we have set (or rather, they have set) for this world requires such a cold disposition towards our fellow humans.

I agree with your sentiment and congrats on the launch. I have a few questions for feedback:

1. Why S3 rather than an entirely free service like netlify, github pages, or surge?

2. Isn't one of the main advantages of medium the discovery element? As a reader of medium, I get connected to articles from new authors based on my interests. As an author, readers are connected to me who may not have otherwise heard of me.

If the area's geography and location makes it prone to violent hailstorms, I would think that those might simply be multiple hailstorms across the centuries.

I love the idea of providing various functionality under a sql interface. Sure sometimes it doesn't fit, but overall it's one of the better lowest common denominators I've met so far.

I've used osquery a few times on my personal laptop (this post reminds me to try to get the company I work in to adopt it!) and for me it was one of the bigger inspirations for creating OctoSQL[1] as a means for such tools to interoperate.

It's illegal for one to R&D one's own weapons and counter-weapons systems at certain functionality. If one wishes to develop cutting edge military technology, one must sadly commit his life to it at the government's approval.
Cool! I'm not aware what else is available in this space, what I think would be useful would be to add links to the organizations where I should apply, what's the process etc.

Nope. There's no single algorithm that will lead to General intelligence. As long as the apex of our ML techniques is parameter optimization via gradient decent, there will be no critical mass point. Currently, it's possible for someone to take a modular approach to general intelligence. And someone may very well be working on that and will spring such a system on the world but because each subsystem is only as good as the state of the art, and if the systems were that good the developers would try to capitalize on such a system immediately rather than waiting for all the other subsystems to surpass the state of the art, we would have some warning that the field was advancing; hence no surprise general intelligence.
It’s a common thing due to the fact that doctors see too many trivial, common cases and apply Occam’s razor.

I had the same experience in a big, prestigious hospital. After a surgery went wrong they insisted I’m ok and getting better despite my less and less vigorous protests. When they finally accepted to investigate this more thoroughly they realized the severity. The story repeated itself through multiple surgeries. Even just hours before the last one they insisted I should be getting better and again only investigated after several pleas. Which was very surprising considering that when going into this last surgery my chances of survival were under 15%, I was basically in septic shock and already mostly unconscious due to the illness and medication.

I think a doctor’s diagnosis starts with assuming basic issues and escalating later rather than the other way around. It might make sense statistically... unless you’re among the unlucky few.
Can anyone make a good guess on how much this would have cost here in the US and if it had happened in Canada ?
Spoken like somebody who has money. Do you have any idea how much pain and suffering a person can endure due to having no money? I don't think it's your place to say that person's life is worth living.
This article is very sexist. The title is about Joe Rogan but the author is more interested in his audience than the person or their actions. The actions of a single man are frequently attributed to men as a group. Lots of arguments made with tribalist optics of everyone vs men.

> All kinds of men out there are pissed off and looking for someone to blame.

All kinds of people out there are pissed off and looking for someone to blame, I think the author is one of them.

-edit-

I expected a lot of down votes for this comment and I'm getting them but I can't take an article with this much bigotry seriously. For example here a good point doesn't count for squat because a label of other can be applied to the mouth that said it.

> These are both good, if imperfect, points to raise, but neither of them seems to grasp that a good point coming out of the wrong mouth doesn’t count for squat.
> You can setup Windows to be secure

Or I could get them to buy something far cheaper that's already secure, rather than having to learn how to admin an OS that I have had no need to use for nearly 20 years.

The whole point is to avoid being an "IT Helper", otherwise I'd just give them an ubuntu laptop.

One point to keep in mind is when you have maxima and minima next to each other then Jet/Turbo is not the colormap you want, since it's very hard to distinguish dark blue and dark red.
To be honest it seems perfectly reasonably for a researcher to bring up their own related work. Maybe there should just be a separate metric which separates self-citations so it's transparent.

I'm gonna have to correct you there: Rand famously was not interested in 'others', much less a suggestion that people's success should be in any way conditional upon 'others agree' in any sense.

Perhaps you have an economic philosophy which I still wouldn't like, but which is nevertheless way better than what Rand was considering.

In all fairness, it's no different to any other major iteration of a framework. I imagine that a lot of Ruby developers will be telling their bosses about Rails 6, and trying to push towards it for multi-db support for large applications.

The big difference for me is that many .NET shops rely heavily on certain libraries and tools, and many of them are very slow to adapt. Umbraco, as a prime example, recently upgraded to Angular 2 for its admin section, and is probably a year or two away from an initial move to .NET Core.
> If we are playing anecdotes

Anecdotes stop being anecdotes when you're looking at well over a hundred consistently negative experiences from different users across a number of unrelated discussions. At that point those anecdotes become the consensus. Try to find 1/10th of this many HN users shitting on aws or gcp, you won't be able to.

I didn't pick up azure looking for excuses to shit on it, like you appear to be doing and confirming in your profile bio. I came ready to deliver on the next round of projects, expecting something resembling parity with the other cloud vendors. And walked away feeling borderline defrauded by the delta between how MS markets azure and what it actually is.

It will be a lot of work, no question about that. Fortunately none of it will be about Maildir, as folks like you have long since ironed out all those issues (thanks!).

It's possible to package qmail in such a way that it's trivial to install and run, supporting many modern features by default. I've done it. Here's a demo: https://youtu.be/Vq6vu9T3vow

But that required a lot of decision-making and a lot of effort by the packager. With notqmail, we hope to make packaging much much easier.
Except that std::vector can be specialized with custom arena allocators, which isn't uncommon in performance sensitive applications.
What I have seen is that one of the main issues in NLP is actually finding annotated text. Especially for some more specialized tasks annotating can be a very costly process. It is not easy to annotate an e.g an argument versus labelling a Bus or a person. I believe that unsupervised pre-training can help a lot with this issue. It is just not feasible to find such big labelled corpora to train a model from the beginning for all the NLP tasks.

Another issue that I've seen is that there is a huge inertia in academia in fields where (deep)NLP is really needed (e.g law or education) most of the academics in these fields just cannot follow the developments and a lot of the quantitative folks who can, they seem stuck in the SVM + heckton of features approach. I am glad that the trend is towards tools like BERT that can act as the initial go-to for NLP development even if its not exactly Transfer Learning as done by CV people
