> And then goes on to say that the most promising approach remains reuse, particularly of COTS programs.

Indeed, although I think more beneficial than COTS has been the rise of open source (which could be seen as a variant of COTS). From open source languages with rich standard libraries to application frameworks to whole applications (databases, operating systems, etc).

The benefit from open source hasn't just been the lower TCO of 3rd party software, but also changes in the development process. Perhaps the single biggest process change has been distributed version control. Not only has Git significantly reduced the accidental complexity of collaborating on software projects, it has also become the primary mechanism for distributing open source code.
It's important to rate poor drivers with low scores because a) you won't be matched with them again and b) you're potentially helping remove them as a driver to the benefit of other riders.

If they want to give you credits as well, so be it.
I assume they would need to accept whatever rides come their way under such a scheme, as otherwise they could just idle and collect money

Edit: From the proposal: "drivers would earn a minimum of approximately $21 per hour while on a trip, including the costs of their average expenses"

So yeah, it looks like it would only apply to time spent on a drive. I hope it at least includes the time it takes to get to a customer as well. I had an interesting conversation with a Lyft driver a while back who explained that if you're mainly moving people short distances in the suburbs, you're hardly breaking even. It would be neat if a pay structure could incentivise being available in lower-demand areas but I guess we're not there yet
Oh my god, so much fun. I got a 36. I wonder if I could go as high as 50.

Thanks for making this!

Very funny how you link to Detexify. That site has been around for a long time and it's a fundamental resource. I think it's still just being run by some dude for fun. I hope it never goes away.
What are you thinking about OFX/QFX? CSV is nice for breadth but some of the specialized formats are pretty nice for these kinds of tools.
Uber drivers don't have a $300,000+ salary to look forward to after surgical residency.
This is a completely reasonable take. You don't have a right to live in a city that requires $50/hr to live comfortably. $21/hr is an amazing pay rate for what is essentially unskilled labor

Weirdly, the politics takes a backseat to the protagonists personal problems, in particular her anxiety over public speaking. While the political elements are in there, they feel like they're in the background. The primary antagonist is motivated by a personal vendetta, not his political positions.
Speed is an important factor. AASP are really really slow around here. 7 days or more to replace a battery is ridiculous when 3rd party shops can do it in 20 minutes.

If those shops would have access to the same tools and instructions as Apple, that would be great!
It's simply been renamed Fantasy & Science Fiction.
The point of universal programs is that the "condition" for eligibility is existence [1] and thus there is nothing to optimize for, by definition.

Uber does not pay for any car expenses right now - drivers pay for their car, insurance, gas, etc.

Right now, Uber offers a rate based on time spent per trip, and mileage per trip. Drivers do not get paid outside of trips.
>You have, yes.

I hope you can see the issue telling someone they consented when they tell you they have not.

>you are beholden to the laws of your locale without ever explicitly agreeing to them

And yet we are free to break them as long as we are not caught.

>if you were to leave it it would require you to invest massively in self-sufficiency

I doubt so, because I find avoiding society is not an option. I guess if you can build your own rocket and launch yourself into space it is possible, but anywhere else in the world and you are subject to the local laws generally set by whomever has the biggest stick. I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but there was one day, not too long ago on the historical scale, where the ability to really live away from people self sufficient became impossible.

I guess there are some places you might be able to move to, not pay taxes on, and be so remote that they don't bother enforcing the laws on you. But that still depends on the idea of breaking laws as long as you can avoid any punishment you find unbearable.

>This, I think, is a pretty good thing, because all of us being hunter gatherers who fought over bountiful locales would be a lot less interesting than knowing things like agriculture, computers and boats exist.

Society has it's benefits, and yet I do wonder if every law was fully enforced would it continue to function? Think of work to rule, at national scale. Laws seem to be a sort of selectively enforced tax that helps keep society from crumbling, but even that isn't guaranteed since it seems to also give us the ability to crumble society in a way that hunter gatherers could never imagine.
San Francisco’s Workshop Cafe Is Shutting Down
68000 was a 32-bit ISA, but with 16-bit internals, mainly meaning ALU. 32-bit register file, flat 32-bit address registers (pointers). Moving data with move.l and move.w between registers was both 4 clock cycles. I wrote a ton of assembler on 68k back in the days and absolutely loved the large orthogonal register set and useful addressing modes. Going to x86 was rather painful after that. :-)

Some ways 32-bit, but 16-bit level performance.

I think in the end you can call it either way.
The only difference is that consumers have agreed to let the browser do this.
Yes, it is. Is it really that insane that doing a job a monkey could do shouldn't be paid the same as jobs that require actual skill?

Why can't that be a job you do on the side for a little extra cash on the weekends? Why does every job need to provide a "living wage"?
I would be perfectly happy to continue on the hackintosh path I’ve been taking for years now, but man the GPU situation is not making it easy. Right now if you’re looking for mid to high end GPUs that work with macOS, you’re stuck with nvidia on two-releases-behind High Sierra or Mojave/Catalina with outdated AMD (Vega 56/64) or expensive and EOL’d AMD (Radeon VII).

Here’s to hoping macOS gains Navi support soon — if it does I’ll jump on a 5700 XT right away.
So fraud prevention is closed source? How is that fair?
It is difficult to imagine what would be marketed over the internet like this that requires FDA approval and isn't at least a bit slimy. If there's something obvious thing that fits in that category that isn't, no one has mentioned it yet.

I'd be very curious to see if an Ask HN on the premise of “Engineering is figuring out how to do what you want with what you’ve actually got” but in the context of understanding what you can actually manage to learn or build with your current known ability to learn and skills. Could be a very interesting take on imposter syndrome and understanding effective ways to learn?

My uncle shaves twice a day and gets a single day per $0.10 Feather blade. That said, only the Feather gets 2 shaves in before it gives up, so it's worth the slightly higher cost.
I think the hostility seems focused in two areas.

* Brave browser still being chromium under the hood. It's not the worst thing in the world, but there's plenty of sound technical/ideological reasons to be against a browser engine monoculture

* A (healthy IMO) skepticism of cryptocurrency backed projects

Do you think those concerns are irrelevant? I find it funny that you accuse HN commenters of being Google shills (my experience is quite the opposite).

Brave skepticism is not automatically pro-Google.
I'm hearing this in the last few years quite often but I'm not sure what kind of explanation you mean.

The x-ray image was incorrectly misdiagnosed, because... What type of thing should come here?

... it didn't have this weird smudge thing on the top left in which case usually there should be a little hazier blob in the middle, except when the pointiness of the thing that is to the right of the brightest blabla...

You get the idea, my description is even exaggerating the nameability and describability of these structures. You'd get a long and complex description at best, because simple models don't work for pattern recognition. But even if you made sure to just use well understood features like edge thickness, angles, sizes of connected components etc, how would a boolean formula of a hundred such terms be helpful in court or wherever you want to use these explanations?
After tax it's probably closer to $2800, and health insurance is around $600/month for a pretty average plan. For a family of three this leaves you $1000 left over, and even the crappiest one bedrooms in California in small towns start around $1300/month.
"i don't know what I'll replace it with" sums it up.
That's a nice sentiment, but everything you believe is conditional. I doubt there is literally no changes that could ever occur that would change your mind about anything including love.

Perhaps the likelihood of those things are close to zero, but that doesn't mean it isn't in the realm of possibility. Although I suspect it wouldn't be that difficult to introduce a change that would trigger one of those conditions.

Ah, I see now. Back to your original comment:

"To prevent cities being turned into panopticons, we should make sharing data with people trying to build them mandatory"

The reason why panopticons work is because the prisoners don't know what the guards can see. And due to this asymmetric power relation, it is very hard to revolt. There are two solutions: either prevent the information gathering, or make the information publicly available. The former solution is not possible if you don't know what information is being gathered, so we are left with the second solution (to start with).
So you cut down your phone use because of FaceID? Did your needs change or did you start using a second device or something?
This is correct. The best way to support Mozilla products is to use them.
if you put a survey on your site, or send people a survey via email, asking them do you think we should do this, probably very few people will respond.

But let us suppose that you have developed a reputation for not being nice, if you propose something nice people will think you are being devious, if you send a survey you won't know how many people actually want you to be nice. But if you can get a petition out there then people will think hey, I can force those not nice people to be nice by putting in my two cents. Now you find out how many people really want you to be nice, furthermore then you can market it later - we heard, we responded, and those people all think hey my voice is important and feel good about themselves and maybe feel good about you and think maybe they really are nice after all?

It is a brilliant piece of marketing really, that will of course be taken over by everyone and ran into the ground and poisoned as a method to the point where nobody will believe honest petitions anymore either - but that is years away.
That's actually a good solution. Color detection is relatively easy, given it has been used for paint mixing for a long time.

The current lego pallet should still be at 51 colors, there might be issue with clear elements but for the most part they'll be significantly different than the other elements in a set being things like windows, windshields and cockpits. Also in a given set you are unlikely to have many, if any, of the same elements in similar shades that might get confused by an app.

The app would be useful for those that can see too just for listing elements on secondary markets like Brick Link.

It is far beyond my means but as an adult fan of lego I definitely see value in it.

I was just thinking about this in relation to CarPlay last night. I’m so happy to have an interface that 1) isn’t garbage and 2) actually improves throughout the life of my car.

I also know that whatever car I go to, no matter how crappy the entertainment system is I get to use CarPlay and don’t have to worry about the OEM garbage. Slow? Ugly? Confusing? Who cares!

I’ve outsourced the entertainment system to a software company with a clue, and I couldn’t be happier.

My maps are real-time updated by Apple. I can listen to whatever new streaming app comes out next year and takes over the market. I have Siri for voice commands, not the awful thing built into my car.

Sorry car makers, you screwed up for too long. Now everyone just wants to bypass you with CarPlay (or Android Auto).

$50 for labor makes sense from a shop but you could do it yourself with a $5 screwdriver with the right bit and less than 5 minutes of your time, given you could find a part and weren't worried about warranty on the repair process itself.

Why would more users make the effort in 2018 than in 2019? This doesn't explain the trend though it's probably an accurate assessment.
That's probably true to some degree, but I found that the most effective thing that Google does to improve search results is to connect multiple searches you submit in relatively quick succession.

Googling a paper or article, skimming it, then searching for something that's in the text makes Google appear like magic. When I enter the first word of my follow-up question, Google will often suggest a complex 10 word query exactly like I would have entered it.

Apparently, many people have the exact same follow-up questions that I have after reading the same text.

That doesn't require a whole lot of tracking. It does require a session cookie, but that's not the sort of tracking I'm opposed to at all.

Another thing that Google does well is searching for local content. I think this is very difficult to replicate for DDG.

But for context free and non-local queries, Google is usually no better than DDG in spite of all the wealth of data they have on me. For some niches DDG is actually better than Google and they don't fill half of their result pages with ads.

Sometimes I wonder whether the entire ad targeting thing is a fraud. Maybe Google doesn't actually track us after all ;-)

There's a flagged & dead comment in this thread that argues (in four snarky words) that a Tesla would be a better choice for a software-oriented car.

Snark aside, it's a fair point. If software quality is important, of all current manufacturers, Tesla seems the best fit since their product is as much software as it is car.
My dad recently ditched his Audi Q7. Not for exactly the same reasons but because of endless electronic glitches and downright bizarre behavior. Now he’s got an EcoBoost F150 and loves it.

> But installing one was the big issue, as it would always choose the latest release of any module in the dependency chain, including the perl interpreter itself.

You are mistaken. No cpan client is capable of upgrading perl itself. If a cpan module declares a dependency on a perl version later than what you are currently running, the installation simply fails (as what would happen if there is a dependency declaration on a module that is shipped with core and is not upgradable separately, e.g. 'strict' or 'POSIX').
I was just talking to a friend about this. My main reason for not jumping on a Tesla is the lack of CarPlay. I would love it if automakers stuck to providing a great automobile platform and just implemented a standard computer interface for all devices to hook up. I don’t know when I will get a new car, but ditching CarPlay is not an option.
“ You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. (Laughter/applause) Right? (Laughter/applause) They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic – you name it.”

I agree it was a bad move to assume that republicans would not enthusiastically self-identify as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic”.
>CarPlay will be non-negotiable. I don’t want to have a separate computer system to manage in my car. I want to use the insanely powerful pocket computer I always have with me with my car’s audio system and display.

I agree, but even CarPlay is not flawless. And when something weird happens, it's hard to decide if the flaw is on the phone side or on the car side, since it's not clear how much is the responsibility of the car display.

But there are enough weird glitches when the phone is not plugged in at all.

Hello HN!

A lot of startups wanted to access our data to build personalized products so we figured we built an API for it!

Babel API:
- Access to our 550Millions+ Twitter profiles database
- 14 data fields: age, gender, location, affinities, influence score, biography ….
- Limited to 1000 API calls on trial version
- API calls are made requesting the user Twitter handle
- Documentation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YsPZ6720qYi6k8XHjEu3t65J...

Let me know what you think!
If you're talking about the name "scuttlebutt" then where I'm from (Upstate New York, USA) it's basically a synonym for chatter or gossip.

Hi HN,

ReactiveSearch is a UI components library for creating powerful search experiences. While we originally created it with React in mind, we have added components for Vue.JS and React Native.

This release is a major rewrite of the library for more extensible component rendering support and adds support for controlled components, state access and also comes with experimental support for voice search, search operators and GraphQL. Here are the release notes for 3.0 - https://github.com/appbaseio/reactivesearch/releases/tag/v3.....

> At least right now, that's not true. It's harder to automatically scrape Facebook than a random decentralised system - mainly because decentralised systems need to have the data sharing built in to work. Sharing the data in a structured way is the central idea behind them.

I disagree. It is harder for Joe Average, but for state actors MUCH easier to scrape one system, instead of thousands. Also, it is possible to design decentralized systems in such a way that scraping becomes almost impossible.

> You're not going to be able to block this access from gov only. If known networks become blocked, new gateways can be obtained for less money than is worth mentioning.

You can block based on more than IP address. Decentralized systems can use networks of trust to curtail unwanted information gathering.

> Again, if you're interested in anything resembling a social network, you'll need to share your data with a lot of people. Unless you want to keep it all private - you can do the same thing on FB currently, and border control will not have access to it.

Of course border control has access to it, regardless of your privacy settings. Do you really believe FB has full control over your data?
