Really, just do KBJC/BDU/APA -> KTEX and back. You'll save some money and BJC in particular rents at insanely low rates[1]. If you're in a flying club or own an EAB aircraft you can do even better.

Also, yea, mountain training is a must. I wouldn't actually take a 172 up there but a 182 or Archer would be fine in nice weather.

I know people that have the eternal babyface. At most, a few chin hairs but otherwise smooth. Some people just don't have the genetics for a beard.
You're forgetting a major one: there's a whole gulf of things that people just aren't willing to actually take their wallet out for. People even scoff paying $8/mo to Netflix while spending hours watching it daily. Good luck taking payments for your little project.

For all sorts of reasons, too: we have been conditioned to think ads = free, none of your competitors ask for money (they use ads, so they're "free"), the modern payment flow is still cumbersome and doesn't support microtransactions, there are all sorts of things like HN that I simply wouldn't use if it wasn't free, your users can't afford it, etc.

One of the worst aspects of ads is how they've mutated our society's relationship with paying for things that we value, but ads definitely fill the void outlined above. Your creation's value to society doesn't have to breach the high threshold of getting a user to take their wallet out.

But just think of all the things you have done on the internet today, all the things you enjoyed doing or thought were worth even a tiny amount of attention, yet how unwilling you'd be to actually send money their way in the current system.

So: the point being that despite having a secure network, the immediate impetus was to connect it to the insecure one?

And that without IP and network isolation, HOSTS.TXT was an utterly meaningless obfuscation / network isolation mechansim (which was apparently not ... apparent ... to them)?

The only bureaucracy more SNAFUd than government and military is private sector. You just don't hear so much about it except through lawsuits and leaks -- no congressional investigations or constituent concerns. Representation has some advantages.

> it's worth being a little skeptical about what Rossmann has to say about Apple

Sure, just like it's good to be a little skeptical about what anyone say.

Rossmann isn't a liar though, what he say about Apple is right. You may thing he avoid saying positive things about them (but I did hear him say plenty of positive things about them) but that doesn't make what he say about Apple false.

Camelia is the name of the butterfly mascot, hence the suggestion to use it as the name of the language.

rakudo, the language tool, basically translates as "way of the camel" playing on the use of the camel as Perl's O'Reilly book mascot. "Raku" or "raku", would basically be calling the language "camel" and the tool "way of the camel" which has a certain appeal as well. However, the camel has never been really directly associated specifically with the new language except in the names rakudo and raku.

So as I see it, there are good arguments for either side of this. Knowing Liz and Wendy I doubt their suggestion has much more to do with being girly than my feelings on the matter. I think it has more to do with making the clean break really, really clean.

Unfortunately all this furor within the community and even from without has nearly convinced both ladies to leave the community they've been pillars of for two and a half decades. They've suffered personal attacks over this and their participation in anything Perl related is likely to be curtailed if not ended. It's a sad, sad day because Wendy's one of my favorite people at the conferences.
Interesting read, appreciated!
I genuinely don't know how to explain that the fact it requires an income of more than 21/hr to meet basic needs is all the justification that should be required.

Maybe if we stopped thinking of employees/contractors as "labor" and thought of them as people it would be easier to empathize with their needs. Do you think that your friends, family, and loved ones deserve a wage that meets their basic needs? Why shouldn't all humans deserve the same?

Not necessarily true. Uber the company maybe operating at a loss but rides are not operating at a loss AFAIK. Kind of like Amazon in its earlier days, where they reinvested their revenue in growth.
Considering a 40 hour work week, $21 hour comes out to about $3350 before tax monthly, is that really too low for driving around a car?
Just keep perl 5 running forever please. I don't want to have to re-write the perl I wrote in 2001 that is still running in production. I wish now I had never started writing stuff in Python 2.

This is what I use and to be honest, I don't see any reason to use the windows version /at all/ for Emacs. WSL and VcXsrv requires minimal set up and works right away for me.

I used to have code in my config files to try and handle different paths, etc. when I was in windows vs linux and now I don't have to worry about that anymore.
I compared it with plain newline separated list of absolute paths, and savings were such that I could not imagine beating it with anything else I knew at the time, which would have similar characteristics.

The dataset has a lot of shared prefixes, and Judy excels at storing such data.

It was 15 years ago so don't ask me for details.

Yeah, It reminded me (not in a good way) of Cory Doctorow's works in the sense that even when I agreed with the general sentiment, I was infuriated by how much the "good" characters were winning by arguing against cartoonish villains.
I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say Brave is a scam, but it does extort companies and websites by effectively saying, "We're shutting down your monetization sources (no longer showing your ads). If you want that money (or a different cut), sign up for our platform instead."

I agree that they should do a better job at explaining issues.

My understanding is that at first the number of apps where the violation is unclear was so low that it was not worth it.

IIRC Google has announced that they are going to provide more info in the future on what the issues are.

however

the link in the article is pretty clear :
https://play.google.com/about/privacy-security-deception/dec...

(even though it does not mention which part of the app exactly violates these rules)

And I disagree on the fact that the TOS are unreadable :
https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy/#!?mo...

Google could improve devs relationships for sure, but these are pretty clear.

FWIW, I had several strikes as well, because of a permission used by an unpublished app on a beta channel :/. The whole process of getting the account reinstated was pretty easy in that case.

I am kinda curious to scrape the op app and look at what might have got them in trouble, I might give it a go if I have enough time.

I'm sure this is a misunderstanding. I believe the author means to remind us that fashion and gender norms are arbitrary and performed, not to say that the hipsters chose theirs' _wrong_. Societal standards of masculinity are of particular interest here because they capricious, mutable, and especially likely to result in ass-kickings.

In conclusion the author encourages us to reflect on the difference between the person and the performance, and hold our assumptions lightly. You are not your beard.
Zerodha, India's largest stock broker, faces a 40 minute outage
The LTV was never intended as a description of what "ought to be" (in fact, Marx cautions against such use), and it was intended to describe how things are. The idea is that people do value things according to their socially necessary labour content, and that this mechanism works "behind the backs" of all members of society. I'm curious in what way it isn't scientifically valid.

The LTV wasn't thrown out because it fails to describe how things are, because soon enough marginalists realize that the same criticisms actually apply to their own theory. It was thrown out (mostly by Samuelson and his pals) of specific issues: the transformation problem, the generalized commodity exploitation theorem, and by extension the Okishio theorem, all of which have been addressed in the Marxian economic literature.
I think you're being naive to the way corporate communications work.

Clinton was centrist, not a leftist. Same with Obama. The left didn't abandon the working class, they were abandoned by the centrists who were trying fruitlessly to appeal to the right.

For every step the democrats took to the right, the republicans took two, and by the time the working class had been abandoned by both parties Trump was able to swoop in and point at how the democrats had failed them. He wasn't wrong, but the democrats did so in their effort to be centrist. Continuing to do so is suicide, there's a political vacuum created by the extinction of the left as a political force. The party that fills it will win, and it's obvious that the republicans can't fake their love of the working class forever.

> In other words, it detects only crashes. We can do much better than this. Assertions and their compiler-inserted friends — sanitizer checks — are another excellent kind of oracle.

I'm trying to understand this one. Isn't a fuzzer useful for catching unpredicted exceptions? It seems a non-zero or premature exit of a program is one of the best scenarios.
This looks great but a couple of things:

1) You should be defining a strict CSP and a few other headers given that this deals with financial information: https://securityheaders.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Flunchmoney.cc&f...

2) When trying to give provider info, I hit an error both times (with different financial providers) on the Plain screens.

> I have no clue why so many people desire to believe that our ancestors were apes

Technically, we are apes, you and me. Hominids, Great apes.

The degree of certainty we have about that and about core concepts of evolution is such that there's simply no room left for an honest discussion. If we look for places to explore alternative ideas, there're: sci-fi, comics and religion.
If you Google "EMT average salary" or "EMT average hourly rate" you'll see that EMTs are notoriously underpaid.

> Like what makes educated people more valuable as human beings?

On average, educated people contribute more value to the functioning of society. I can drive myself around. I can't perform my own heart surgery.

The argument that all humans are inherently equally valuable is specious reasoning. I can come up with all sorts of trolly car conundrums that if you were forced to choose, you'd make a value judgement about which person to save because they have more value.
The OP is predicting inflation from other causes, not from what uber does. Even the largest company cannot drive inflation by itself.
> How do you manage battery life when multiple apps need to keep its own persistent connections open to its own home server for push notifications?

Apple already has extensive experience in this area with macOS.

> Or, how does the mobile OS vendor perform any kind of spam protection at all on push notifications if they have to open their notification gateways to absolutely anyone

Do they? They could just as easily require that apps outside the App Store provide their own push notification infrastructure.

You act like these things are impossible to overcome.

And you pretend like Apple isn't already earning money from this. Apple is already charging people for the iPhone. People keep saying they are a hardware company. Are they really?
You should be paid what the market says you’re worth, which is exactly what you can negotiate to be paid.
Thanks Microsoft and the developers there for sharing ExFat!

It is great to see the changed attitude and embracing of open source software! This will ease the use of large external disks, sharing files between Windows and Linux systems. It will help with larger USB memory sticks which no longer needs to be reformatted. It will also make it much easier to deal with SD cards from cameras and mobile phones.

> - Network access

Most software does not "need" network access, it just ends up being used for telemetry, serving ads, and checking for updates you probably don't need anyway.

> Direct hardware access (such as games accessing the GPU)

"Direct", meaning they need a context handle and some shared memory to get composited by the OS. Still, I'm honestly not sure why this isn't a solved problem today. Why are GPUs not virtualizable the way CPUs are?

> - Sharing data to other software
> - Consuming data from other software

Software can be grouped together and allowed to talk among eachother within a certain context without giving any given piece of it the ability to burn the world down.

Why are Modula, Modula 2, and Modula 3 so different? Or PHP 3 and PHP 7? Or K&R C, C89, C99, and C11? Or ISO Pascal, Turbo Pascal, Object Pascal, and Delphi?

There are many, many languages that have been closely related but with wildly different names. There have also been plenty of languages which shared mostly the same name but are very different. It might be easy to see a mistake here in hindsight, but when the project first started that was much less clear.

The problem with your logic, is that you still don't define what "full time" equals. There are 24 hours in a day, so is full-time working 24 hours/day? Obviously that's not practical, but then where do you draw the line?

Any conclusion you come up with is completely subjective, and might fit for some people, and might not for others. Maybe someone's full-time job is someone else's part-time job.
Why would the typical user make the effort to download Firefox when they're already happy with Chrome? The typical user isn't on HN with strong opinions on privacy, has little notion of what constitutes a tech monopoly, covets convenience, and has already configured their one browser extension but doesn't remember how (and it turns out that same browser extension isn't in Firefox).

For most people, they can already see the internet in Chrome, or Safari, or maybe even Internet Explorer. Why would they switch when they don't even know what they're switching to or why?

Meanwhile Chrome has the full force of Google behind it, and Chrome is actually one of their important projects that they aren't going to abandon any time soon. It's really Chrome vs. the world, and Chrome is winning.

A perfect and logical move for an established company. First, get into an unregulated market. Then, attempt to make that market highly regulated, which discourages and prevents new comers from using the same techniques you used (and thus, lowers competition).

Sure, naive is a pejorative. But the insinuation of "deliberate attempt to mislead" is worse. The site guidelines ask everyone simply to assume good faith, so there's no need to highlight the possibility of bad faith. Doing that doesn't add any information and just distracts from the rest of your comment.

Disclosure: I work on Tree Notation (https://treenotation.org/).

Two years ago, in 2017 I predicted Tree Notation will be a silver bullet: by 2027 we will have a 10x improvement in reliability, productivity, and simplicity, thanks to the Tree Notation ecosystem.

2 years later, and thousands of experiments and conversations later, I'm almost positive that will happen.
It's a really flimsy story IMO, but I'm glad people are attempting to write about what's going on and where they think things are going.
I doubt it. It would look uneven or left some marks on the chasis nearby, and whatnot.

The chasis did have abrasive finish too. I'm quite sensitive to abrasive surfaces, they give me chills.

Anyway, maybe I'm misremembering and it was just the chasis. Nevertheless it was a very unpleasant computer.
One of the problems for VR is that the goal posts keep moving. We're always comparing it to the best traditional 2D display technology available at the time, so it will always seem to come up short.

If you took today's Oculus and went back 30 years ago and handed it out to people used to 1024x768 CRT displays, people would be saying "Well, the VR problem is entirely solved, and there's no reason to do any more further research!" We'd probably have given up work on improving 2D displays.
No, it's not drastically better than it was in 2013.

People have done lots of things with browser cryptography, that's true. But none of what they've done addresses or mitigates the central flaw of browser javascript cryptography, which is that to use it, you have to continuously and durably trust the server. If you're doing that, you might as well just do the cryptography serverside.

Small, a few hundred, but was in a medical speciality so it was a reasonable number. In addition, that pool included all of our clinical investigators, the “thought leaders” you’d think most likely to have been consulted.
There is considerable motivation to reduce the need for programmer labor- programmers are one of the most expensive ingredients in producing many digital products and services. Many companies have made headlines with promises of visual programming tools and/or machine learning leading to "codeless software", but they are consistently either pure snake oil, highly limited in scope, or "mechanical turks" which obscure the role of human labor for marketing purposes.

Many limited domains have been "solved" from the perspective of having software available which allows non-technical users to suit their own needs: You can make a blog, a web store, or a wiki without any knowledge of HTML or a programming language. Yet even in these spaces, there are still users with a desire for custom solutions, and thus a market. There will always be new problems to solve- or old problems to solve better- requiring fresh ingenuity.

Marketing spin aside, I have seen zero evidence that progress has been made in replacing humans with software for the task of turning vague requirements into concrete, precise, machine-readable specifications. As long as that holds, software engineering as a profession will not disappear.

"Have to"? What country are you in?
In Kubernetes and ECS, a Service is already used to name the abstraction that represents a collection of Pods/Tasks.

(Actually K8s collection of Pods is usually a ReplicaSet, fronted by Deployment, from the perspective of making sure they run. The Deployment is related to a Service by labels and selectors, K8s service only decides what pods it will route traffic to. An ECS service is more like a Kubernetes deployment, and I guess what Kubernetes calls a Service, basically a load balancer, is just called a load balancer, and I guess you manage the ALB's configuration together somehow for your service group, manually or somehow other, or you can just create a new ELB each time, and pay again ...)

I had never heard of a Docker Service, but from the looks of it, the Deployment (or Task), Service, ReplicaSet and Pods are all rolled into one single abstraction, the "Service" in Docker Compose.
