-----------

Started as a backend developer (still have a lot of skills in that area) but slowly transitioned to front-end, where things are more exciting.

I am learning the concepts behind every front-end framework I am working with and discover both the good and the bad parts. Hence I can adapt to any new and shiny thing out there.

I maintain a couple of side projects for which I've also done some support for and realized the amount of difference the right message/explanation can make (regardless of how beautiful the code was written).

I am looking to bring value to a company either as an employee or as an external consultant.
Changing cities happens on a timeline of decades. We need to get rid of ICEs running on fossil fuel completely until maybe 2040, 2050 at the latest. That is, if we manage a linear GHG emission reduction starting yesterday.

Electric cars are the only option that can be rolled out fast enough. Of course we should start the transformation away from car dependence at the same time, just don't expect meaningful effects until after ICEs are already obsolete.
Thank you for your patient explanation, it seems to me then, if I understood, that the paper isn't relevant to what was being explained in the lecture, data acquisition/sampling, but rather to a later stage in the Data Science lifecycle, prediction/modeling.
SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

Project: Static website design & development

We are launching a new product soon and need a website to drive marketing and sales.

This is a project well suited for front-end developers with an eye for usability and design. If you are able to come up with a suitable logo, even better!

Requirements

At the moment we are looking for a very minimal, yet effective, website whose primary purpose is to provide information and allow purchases of packages.

We only need the website itself (HTML, CSS, JS if needed, static assets). The total number of pages required is 4, including the Home/Landing page.

Bonus points if you can design a suitable logo.

The budget for this project is €800-€1,100. Payments can be made 50% upfront, 50% upon delivery via bank transfer or other means you may prefer.

TO APPLY, please send your questions, portfolio, and code samples to rudasn at gmail.

Thank you for your time!
I think the only way to learn them is to use them. You can do that locally or purchase a VPS and work there.

Process Hacker allows you to execute program as user of any specified process, ex: create cmd.exe as IIS APPPOOL\app. Very useful for debugging access issues. I didn't find any other method to do this.
well is ADSL1 that bad? in most cases (non video on demand) bandwidth is never the problem. no matter how good your bandwidth is as soon as the latency is bad, it won't get better.

The cult of information, Theodore Roszak
Dropping the db just an extreme example. There are infinite ways a developer can use tools correctly but build wrong things. Don't get me wrong, automating things is great, but you're never going to replace code reviews. Unless you have some crazy advanced AI that can interpret requirements and detect incorrect implementations. But at that point I would imagine the crazy advanced AI might as well be creating the implementation in the first place...

If we put that on the table, yes, that's a grand idea.
I said it before and I'll say it again: the fact that malls are (justifiably) regarded as a treasured social institution in communities seems ridiculous to me.
It's a statement on the failure of a society to provide places for meaningful interaction beyond consumption, or places to feel safe that are not guarded by private security.

Ask HN: Cross Platform Email Archiving
I'm on a mac, and have several email accounts, like most people.
I'm using IMAP for everything, but some accounts are over 15 years old, and my email app (Mail.app) is getting slow. I can move email apps, but I also feel like it's a good thing to clean up / archive email or files.

What's a good way to archive email? Preferrably crossplatform?

- I could export all emails to .eml files in a disk image. This would allow spotlight to index it, which might come in handy in the future.

- I could use mbox format if that's supported, but I'd also need a viewer.

- On windows, people use .pst files, which would be great, but then again, I'm on a mac, and don't like outlook.
If they are happy to ignore my answers to the security questions and go with other questions instead then they should scrap the security questions altogether. Otherwise, yes, they should refuse me service because the point is to use the security questions to establish whether I am who I am claiming to be.

At Amazon, free shipping may be subsidized by the cloud storage business.
Monumental moment in both free software and Microsoft’s history. A decade ago he was probably the most persona non grata.

IBM already has solutions for secure passwords of variable length. Outdated systems may have stored passwords as plaintext with symbol limitations, but modern RACF can hash passwords, encrypt profiles, and generally take whatever you throw at it and handle it securely.

Also Pedro Paulo explained what the content of the talk was:

Very well put. I hold a similar sentiment (from India, lived in US for years, now live in UK).
No one is eating when while their vehicle is unoccupied.
IMHO it's not an advantage for the buyer: buying two items results would now result in you implicitly paying the shipping cost twice (I'm unfamiliar on if it was calculated like that etsy, but from my experience it's standard business practice in other e-shops to make you pay shipping only once for all items, if they can fit in the box).
Sure, but saying "I won't merge this because I don't want my software to be compatible" seems to be strange. Would you not accept say changes to your Makefile to support BSD or Windows or Linux?
Local government work is mostly cyclical and the "customer" is captive. It's not the end of the world if they bill someone a day late or have to re-add the new librarian to the payroll system. It's not like people can up and switch to a new government because they don't like the quality of service.

Based on having grown up in the region and having, um, "connections" to state and local government I think it is highly likely that their desire to not throw out work was based around reasoning around how their public image would be affected if a batch of fines/taxes/fees/bills had to be waived. Cutting people (collectively, waiving something on a case by case basis is fine) a break because the government screwed up is kind of a non-starter because of the possibility of setting a precedent.

In my experience having worked at two developer tools companies where we wanted to partner and co-market products, Docker would never pick up the phone. There was definitely a “we don’t need you attitude” whenever I approached them and I had the same experience repeated to me by friends at other companies trying to do the same thing.
The looming scepter of Amazon seems to cast a very long shadow nowadays. It is beginning to feel like the bogeyman on which every company blames their current struggles.

Yes, ADSL1 is that bad. 8Mbit/sec is the best case, but closer to 1 or 2 is common depending on distance from exchange. About a 30ms latency penalty, IIRC.
Sure. None of the things you mentioned are DevOps.

DevOps is two things:

1. Applying the methods of modern software development (version control, automation, DSLs...) to operations (provisioning, config, deployment, monitoring, backups...).

2. Reducing silo barriers between devs and ops groups so that everyone is working together as a team, rather than blaming each other for poor communication and the resulting messes.

Then there are all the DevOps hijacking attempts, such as equating it to Agile or Scrum or XP, or insisting that it's a way to stop paying for expensive operations experts by making devs do it, or a way to stop paying for expensive devs by making ops do it, or a way to stop paying for expensive hardware by paying Amazon/Google/$CLOUD to do it.

No matter what your software-as-a-service company actually does, it will need to execute certain things:

- have computers to run software

- have computers to develop software

- have computers to run infrastructure support

You can outsource various aspects of these things to different degrees. Anywhere you need computers, you have a choice of buying computers (and figuring out where to put them and how to run them and maintain them), or leasing computers (just a financing distinction), or renting existing computers (dedicated machines at a datacenter) or renting time on someone else's infrastructure. If you rent time, you can do so via virtual machines (which pretend to be whole servers) or containers (which pretend to be application deployments) or "serverless", which is actually a small auto-scaled container.

Docker is a management scheme for containers. VMWare provides management schemes for virtual machines. Kubernetes is an extensive management scheme for virtual machines or containers.

A continuous integration tool is, essentially, a program that notes that you have committed changes to your version control system and tries to build the resulting program. A continuous deployment system takes the CI's program and tries to put it into production (or, if you're sensible, into a QA deployment first).
But if you are bored there longer you're more likely to buy something?
> “Right now, customers add things to their cart and balk at shipping costs, then bounce from the site for good.“

lol... so the solution is to make customers balk much earlier in the funnel when they see unreasonable base prices? And put (craft item, low volume) sellers in a terrible position to give up extremely important marginal revenue by not raising prices to fully offset shipping costs? Or else lose sales with dropoff in search placement (even if you’re the more relevant search result to satisfy a certain customer query)...

Etsy just seems gassed for ideas.

Your lecturer must have meant to refer to this paper, also by Xiao-Li Meng: https://statistics.fas.harvard.edu/files/statistics-2/files/...

It directly answers the question of whether a small probability sample or large but biased sample is better, using only modestly technical results (at least for the first part). It’s a very nice paper.
ArangoDB: Three Databases in One
I don't think the "US is big" argument really works when it comes to forcing telcos to get rid of their 20th century DSLAMs. Like, obviously ideally they'd be upgrading to something semi-modern, but even swapping out the last of the ADSL1 for ADSL2+, like it was 2006, would be an improvement.

A long time ago I wrote a warehouse management system for a fishing gear manufacturer that shipped enough packages every day that they had a contract with a courier for a fixed price on their deliveries. Regardless of how many there were and where they were doing a lorry turned up at the warehouse at 4pm every day, all the outgoing packages got loaded on it, and off they went. It cost a lot but it was far cheaper than pricing the packages individually, especially as fishing rods are quite an unusual shape. It meant shipping was a fixed business cost, so the price was only part of the product price in the same way that the office rent was a part of the product cost, or the CEO's salary. I imagine quite a lot of B2C product businesses work the same way.

The problem with black holes is that all of our science is observationally weak. You can't use any science that's based on the speed of electromagnetism or for that matter light.

If your observational weakness prevents you from making any observations. Then you know nothing at all about it.
At least Docker is not going to benefit anymore right?
Whatever else it is, it's one of the more important guidelines of the site (at least judging from the time Dan and Scott spend on it) that you not make appeals like this in public comment threads. What evidence you hsve of this, you should send to hn@yc.
They probably mean that it's no longer used by the allocator which will be using nmap instead (although obviously that will depend on what allocator you use). The syscall itself is going nowhere.

The Forum in Rome (and the agora in Greek cities) was the total opposite to malls...

Small producers with unique offerings and shops (as opposed to chain franchises), directly integrated within the city (as opposed to an isolated space existing outside of it), a vibrant place for social and political interaction (as opposed to a place for bored teens to shop and eat fast food where nothing political ever happens and citizens are isolated consumers), plus each was unique to the city (as opposed to finding an identical (or nearly identical) mall, with the same shops, in every town in the states...

So the irony is misguided to say the least...

Not to mention that 2000+ years later one would think we could do better than Rome...

This is false. We can explain a lot without a placebo comparison. Also, the placebo isn't magic, we just haven't studied exactly what it is. It clearly does have limitations: look at all the studies where the placebo only does so much!
> I say this because more and more I notice people using "pseudoscience" in a sense similar to "heresy"

I think that for some people science has replaced religion as a belief and social control system

For these people science defines what is possible within reality and how the world works in a fundamental way; but they don't really understand how these scientific theories work, they just accept them.

I am not saying that science is a religion (they do work under different constraints), I am just saying that science has started to serve a similar role within our civilization, like religion did back in the "dark ages"

People jump on bandwagons.

Ten years ago you started with PHP + memcache + MySQL running on just a physical box running linux. No Docker or Kubernetes. No virtual machine for what it is worth. Then you split it in multiple PHP frontends with a load balancer or MySQL master and slaves as the traffic demanded it.

I think a lot of systems these days are over-engineered and over-paid from day one. It may cost you 10-20 times what you would if you keep the "old day" approach.

That said Docker and Kubernetes are nice. They give you a lot of flexibility. But the most important part, I think, has been that they consolidated the shift from "pet" to "cattle" servers that simplifies a lot the sysOp and sysAdm work.
There are times when my mobile speeds degrade to around 1-2Mbps (typical ADSL1 sync speeds), with variable latency depending on how much throughput is being used (typical ADSL1 experience). Webpages (being the insanely bloated things that they are today) stop loading at that point, and I have to wait for my phone to sync to a different tower. This often happens during my commute when I hit congested towers. It's annoying that the experience on a 56k dialup connection in 1999 was better than it is on a 4G mobile phone in 2019.

Edit/Sorry it was a joke about RMS.
There was a time when subscriptions had little to no ads, and ads were clearly marked as such. Now we have ads all over the place, videos autoplaying, and "influencers" (read: shady salesmen).

Now, before "the internet" (read: its commercial, world-wide success), in-depth research was costly, and it could not be copied easily. Newspapers had a reputation to hold up. It was easier to compete on information. Now the competition is much more fierce, and many people make/share news gratis, so it ends up competing with "free" is difficult.

As for NYT, there's some good people working there like Runa Sandvik, but I guess it works like every large news organization...
Hong Kong ‘Will Be Done’ If China Deploys Troops, Jimmy Lai Says
Your article is very impressive, really good work!

These days I also tend not to use d3 for DOM manipulation, but only for its powerful helper functions (d3-scale, d3-array, d3-shape, d3-geo etc.)

I even try not to import d3-selection except for very specific cases.

I’m using Vue for DOM manipulation, and computed properties play very well with d3 helper functions (i.e. a scale which auto-updates itself reactively). In a way it’s very similar to ObservableHQ’s reactivity. Most examples from Observable can be relatively easily converted to Vue with computed properties.
Contrary to what you seem imply, this is not some sort of vindication for Microsoft.

Anyone can invite rms to speak, and given some minor conditions, he will come. He will come and talk because he believes that everyone deserves Free Software.

This is not monumental in any sort of "MS and the FSF coming closer together" sense.

It was very nice of Microsoft to invite him though, but not more impressive than, say, a University or hackfest.

So if you have problem that goes away with another user, the problem commonly lies in a corrupted preference related to the app, so you start hunting out the .plists for the application and moving them to the desktop before relaunching and seeing if the problem is fixed.

If not, then you start poking about in Application Support for the app.

According to the English language article https://www.zdnet.com/article/free-software-advocate-richard...,

'According to Segala, Stallman requests no video feeds in "places using proprietary JS."'

Therefore, we see that his concern isn't about the language of implementation, but whether it's proprietary or not. So you could write a FOSS web video player and post a video of him there, but he doesn't want to be on YouTube since I can't say "well, this video player would be much nicer if..." and then do that.
