F-Droid is kinda a ... less friendly store though.

To me it feels like a store for developers. When looking for even something simple like a qr code scanner I ran into a lot of one off developer type apps that require specific hardware and other apps or programs installed to even function. I found even the explanations hard to describe.
That's why if you want to install Avast you deselect everything except for the file shield and behaviour shield.
When I first read it 5 years into my now 10 year programming career, it felt timeless. I've been meaning to reread it ever since. Curious what I would think now.
Having for/while loops definitely isn't fundamental to OOP at all. Languages like Erlang and Racket capture the essence of OOP fairly well, yet you don't need to use loops to write programs in them.
In this case, if you're using tmpfs like we recommend the performance is identical. It's the same as if we used normal shared memory (or so far as I can tell via benchmarks).

Even with an optane pmem mount the perf. is super close.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. It didn't read like an ad to me. It reads like someone who was excited to use a cool new product, and wrote about it on their own website.
Yep. That's why we've seen a glut of public offerings in the past 18 months, as CFOs push to get them out before the drought.
It would be great if the UI allowed you to mass-delete entries, at least in test mode.
I wonder how Square missed the boat so hard with a developer payment API. I know they have one, but of course never hear about anyone using it.
https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/exped...

An experimental nuclear rocket from the 70s nearly doubled our "payment energy". It should greatly reduce the initial and total mass portions of the rocket equation as well. I don't have all of the numbers to punch into the rocket equation to figure out things exactly, but the exhaust velocity and initial/total mass make up significant portions of the equation, and increasing the former while decreasing the latter will make significant impact on the ability to leave a more massive planet.
Not OP but I've used the Stripe API extensively (I know it nearly end to end due to implementing one of the framework client libraries) and to me the parts that come to mind if I think "bloat"/"unintuitive" are SKUs, Coupons, and most likely what GP is talking about the new payment intent APIs, even though I don't think there's a real way you could implement them any better given the PSD2 requirements.

By far Stripe has the cleanest experience of all. I wish you'd treat your APIs more like amazon treats theirs though, that is to say: no private internal-only APIs; I should be able to reimplement the Stripe Dashboard in my own app if I so wanted (just like how the AWS console only uses public APIs). That'd also make for some cool potential projects like a Terraform plugin for Stripe.

Feel free to reach out if you like, email on my profile.
This will most likely be a direct listing because Airbnb doesn't need to raise more capital. Its actually about employee liquidity for people waiting 10+ years.
I do hope the reforestation efforts work out... I also wouldn't mind seeing similar efforts in farming to better re-integrate animal + crop farming again. A lot of actual nutrition has been reduced by mono-farms at scale, which can be more efficient, but that efficiency isn't necessarily better for health of an ecosystem, or the product's consumption.

-- edit:

I mean matching a lot of experimental farms, fisheries, etc where rotation for grazing animals and/or a more healthy ecosystem are part of the goal and process.
Yeah this was a while ago.. maybe 2007.
The point of an IPO is to A) create liquidity, and B) divest some of the risk to a bigger pool of investors. If you are cash flow positive, and have only long term investors, there’s no real monetary benefit. You’re giving away your dividends to other people.

It’s a question of whether you want to discount your own risk or hold it. IPOing allows you to price your risk and sell some of it off. But if you’re a long term investor there’s a good chance you value your risk higher than the market, which means you’ll lose money in the long term by selling it.

It also depends on your other investment opportunities. If you have other places to invest, then your money has a high time value and you’re paying more “interest”, so-to-speak, on the risk. If you don’t have anywhere better to park your money then the time value is very low and holding that risk is cheap.

There are other factors as well, like government limits on buying other assets, that could make a private investor want to hold.
These seem like they'd never work in the US. They aren't fast enough to go on the highway and their range is limited to 62 miles.
Nobody said this was an IPO. Most likely a direct listing since Airbnb doesn't need to raise capital.
For some reason, unlike many governmental institutions, Darpa is really good at picking and investing in promising, long-term projects. I hope this is one of them!
In what concrete ways do we subsidize oil?
> I'm probably missing something, but I think the company is going down and they're pulling an exit scam.

AirBnB is doing fine. They've posted healthy profits for the past few years, which is more than can be said of nearly every other tech/startup company that has announced an IPO recently (Uber, Lyft, Pelaton, WeWork, Cloudflare, Slack, Postmates, and Pinterest are all unprofitable).
I didn’t say that. There are no good guys in media. It’s all trash.
They were making the argument that the headline shouldn't use an intentionally misleading word when there is a much better suited word that accurately and clearly conveys the meaning. Using a "technically correct" word isn't a defense when the vast majority of your target audience isn't going to properly understand the true meaning.
I had an X1 Carbon (6th gen) from Costco (which is a great deal) between MacBooks a few months back. I returned it within the 90 days because the speakers, trackpad, and display all felt several generations behind MacBooks in terms of usability. I’m not happy with lots of the MBP changes like most HN users but I can’t believe the rest of the industry hasn’t caught up. The Microsoft Surface trackpads are only slightly better than the X1. I’m not even a big trackpad user, but it’s just so annoying to have one that I dread using.
No way that’s worth as much as Airbnb
As I write this I'm on the 521 bus in central London. This bus is battery electric powered. I didn't even realise it was possible until I got on one.

The difference in noise alone is unbelievable. The elimitation of tailpipe emissions is a huge bonus in a dence city centre. Even if the lifecycle emissions are the same it would still be worth it.

The only thing I don't like about them is the torque and instant reaction of the motor make it easy for inconsiderate bus drivers to make the ride quite unpleasant.

It's one of these if you are interested:

Would be interesting to have an entirely separate 'Getting' section for folks on-boarding for first time just getting a handle on basics. Potentially even going as far as new 'Simple' APIs. Mention all the caveats up-front and direct them to documentation if they need more functionality. I'd imagine it would speed up adoption.
I just remembered that the Greeks also called modern day Georgians "Iberians". Probably didn't mean to include those.
If the scope of work document is invalid, then the current charges are the least of the involved party’s concerns: the document is proof of conspiracy to commit federal felonies. Many of the pentesting actions would violate hacking laws. The conspirators would include every state official and employee who reviewed and approved the plans, any county employees involved, and anyone else who helped put together the deal.

If the current cases were to actually go to trial, then even the most incompetent attorney would start asking for subpoenas of everyone involved, likely reaching into the highest political and law enforcement offices. These are people who can exert tremendous pressure in order to evade having to give sworn testimony.

I don’t know if the local prosecutors understand the massive political retaliation their are inviting.
Sure, the covariance between solar and wind production at one site isn't 1; and the covariance between all the contributing sites for wind isn't 1. So it does smooth out to some extent. (To some extent-- there are practical limits on grid size).

However, it's inescapable that you need a whole lot of storage. As we conceptualize it now, the grid has to remain available during 1% and 0.1% events.

Again, your point is orthogonal to what was said. If someone grouses about storage, mentioning a net exporter provides zero information. Mentioning that my house is a net exporter does nothing to inform them.
those are not regexes though, are they ? apart from the [:space:] part

[Stripe cofounder]

Thanks to everyone here who took a chance on us in the beginning and shared helpful feedback over the years! How to serve startups/developers more effectively at scale is still the main thrust of our product focus. We've fixed and improved a lot of things since we launched here in 2011, but we also still have a lot of work to do. (Both "obvious things we want to fix" and "new functionality we want to build".) I always appreciate hearing from HN users (even if I don't always have time to respond): patrick@stripe.com.

For anyone thinking about what they should work on: I started building developer tools when I was 15 and "tools for creation" is still, IMO, one of the most interesting areas to work in.
Wind turbines are currently over 100 meters high and installed into places that see lot of wind. It's a rule of thumb that you should keep the natural frequency of any large steel building above 20 hz. Swiching to heavier magnets will increase the mass of the generator which is mounted on top. That in turn will make the whole thing more wobbly (ie lower the frequency). To combat this you need thicker frame. Which in turn will cost more and weight more.

It's completely possible that current windmill designs are only possible with neodymium magnets. We would need to ask turbine designer.
> I recently learned that I have customers with different currencies and it's not even something I had to consider or account for.

If your customers are at all price-sensitive, you might want to give this a little more consideration. Banks and payment processors always offer "We handle currency conversion for you! How convenient!", and they pretty much always do it by charging several times the normal conversion fee (in the form of converting at an extraordinarily unfavorable exchange rate).

I hate merchants who use those services; I have a credit card that will pay you in any currency and only charge me a 1% conversion fee. Please charge me in your currency, not my currency.
Eastern Europe ran on pirated software thru the nineties. You need good antivirus when running random software copy obtained at the farmers' market from under the blanket.
Yup, 32 hours/week (on paper) and slightly less than 2k/month before taxes.
I wasn't really going for "don't do anything, it might make it worse" so much as calling attention to what I suspect is an act of greenwashing.

As far as convincing people to do without goes, IMO the root cause of the problem is consumerism, and anything that fails to contend directly with that is bikeshedding.
You can try, but it's not going to be very consistent. You're at the mercy of whenever the OS decides to start flushing pages.. head of line blocking, mmap_sem locks, file descriptor locks, etc. My old job had an mmap-on-disk storage engine at scale and it wasn't any fun.

I think the worst part is mmap-on-disk looks fine at first, and only comes out as a problem after you scale up a while. False sense of security. :/
No, reviews aren't important. Whether it's apps, books, movies or music, trusting a review only makes sense if you value the reviewer and I don't know if you've read reviews of Android apps but it's the same morons who are posting on YouTube, Reddit etc. Thanks but I'll decide what to install via other means.
An under-appreciated aspect of the Epstein fiasco is what his actual M.O. was. People focus on the benefits Epstein accrued directly from MIT, and ignore the indirect benefits, which were probably much more powerful. To wit: Ronan Farrow has emails in which Epstein arranged donation from other powerful people, including Bill Gates; essentially, Epstein's donations "bought" him the ability to act as MIT's agent among other wealthy philanthropists. His donations may have been pro-forma anonymous, but were in reality the opposite of that precisely among the people whose influence he cared most about.
I think this bible is an interesting attempt at avoiding call outs but... I agree with the parent - /\s(.?)\s/\1/ is just easier to read, even with character classes /[:space:](.?)[:space:]/\1/ than the trim example, it's actually a bit sad that string manipulation is the first section since string manipulation is such an inherently dirty task to do.

It is neat to discover functionality of bash I was unaware of by see folks push it to the limit though.

Remember that Sherriffs are elected, they can have zero training related to the job. That alone can explain a lot of this. You might be surprised at recent efforts to politicize them as well.

Reading between the lines a bit, I think they're also recommending that you avoid installing a lithium-ion ESS in the basement of your hotel, or the attached garage in your house... which is a big part of the marketing for these systems.
What if you took the solar energy and used it to heat up a thermal differential between two areas, and then you tapped into the kinetic energy from that?

Right. They are doing so well that many analysts expect them to do a direct listing which means they won't even be selling any shares in the public listing.

They raised billions and now they make more money every quarter so there is no reason to raise more money unless there are specific larger acquisitions or expansions that can't be self-funded.
San Francisco already does this with cigarettes. An eighty five cent tax per pack is levied specifically for this purpose. So around 4.25 cents per cigarette. I don't see why this could not be applied to other problematic litter sources.

Are all laptops not alternatives to MacBook pro? If you mean is it comparable spec wise then more or less.
I've been running Debian on a top-of-the-line 4th generation (2016) Thinkpad X1 as my personal machine. At the time, I had to tweak the UEFI settings a bit because simply disabling it didn't do the trick. Everything else worked out the box, even the volume and screen brightness keys.

To answer your question, it really depends whether you prefer using Linux or MacOS. I use MacOS at work and Linux at home and personally, I prefer using Linux.

A few important points: 1) Thinkpad displays are not great. They're usually kind of dim especially next to a Macbook Pro. 2) The keyboard on Thinkpad is much better. 3) The touchpad on Macbooks is superior but Thinkpads have 3 mouse buttons which are very handy for some graphics applications. 4) The speakers on my Thinkpad are bad. I have no idea if they've fixed them in the latest generation. 5) Thinkpad keyboards are spill-proof. 6) I love the matte screens of Thinkpad; the glossy screen of my Macbook annoys me.
... which has absolutely nothing to do with going IPO, since they would cash out/in and get access to stockholders money at the exact day of their IPO, not "next year or two".

If you do not need to raise money there are limited reasons to go public, however you have much stricter reporting requirements, and general things you cannot do anymore since you are publicly traded, not to mention hostile takeovers, etc. Dell's story is a great example why you want to go public / go back private.

I generally read this as a recruiting tactic. "Don't worry, our stock will be liquid soon, we promise"
I should elaborate. Excellent book by Mike Clark, under the Pragmatic Programmers umbrella. Based an Ant and Cruise control. An updated version using a modern stack would be awesome.
Once you become used to reading it, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But Haskell has a steep learning curve if you have never used functional programming languages before so it may take a while to pick up a few things.
Pretty common with industry norms and standard unfortunately...
I honestly think a good amount of legibility is a matter of familiarity. I've used Haskell for a couple of years, and I didn't find this code particularly illegible (if I had to guess, this is probably more easily-understandable to me than the equivalent OOP formulation).

That's not to dismiss your criticism, not at all; rather, I think that the challenge would decrease with experience.
The article isn't nonsense, it's just written for the kind of person who isn't comfortable writing their own plugins.
Who said anything about the media? Big Tech is worse.
I'm in favor of doing that, but I don't think it's necessary or helps a whole lot. Nuclear power plants need to run close to max capacity all the time to make financial sense at all. So you can't use them to bridge over low production for wind and solar. They also take ages to build. Nuclear might make sense for district heating in winter, but people generally don't like having nuclear plants close to where they live.
It is a neat academic exercise to find these but I think that's sort of the point - why?

If you're building something that multiple folks will be reading and using just call out to external processes and make it easier to follow what's going on. It's neat to know how to do these things, but they're honestly a bit of a security hole because a large portion of folks using them will never comprehend the why and how and just assume it's doing the proper what.
The test for violation of the interstate commerce clause doesn't care about intent. So, quite interestingly, if car manufacturers hadn't decided to only target CA emissions standards they would have been able to bring suit against CA if creating two models of everything was too difficult.

Would the solution of only creating one model and selling that have been a valid reason for a federal court to dismiss such a suit? I think it unlikely, as that would give CA de facto control over a huge amount of economic activity outside of its borders.
There are urban parts of the US where some delivery trucks never go on the highway and don't drive that far in a day.

There are also parts of Germany where delivery trucks need to be able to go on the highway and to drive farther than 62 miles.
>Now, I do not agree with everything Stallman said, but he has the right to be wrong. Why can't he be wrong? Is he not entitled to an opinion which does not conform to the majority?

You're really asking two questions here. Is he entitled to his opinions? Sure. Is he entitled to maintain his position while holding those opinions? Different question.

Or, to put it another way, is someone entitled to having any opinion without facing any consequences?

>Silencing people we don't agree with is a slippery slope, specially when appealing to some absolute morality standard.

The "slippery slope" is a logical fallacy, but more importantly neither you nor anyone else expressing similar views actually believes what you wrote. If Stallman had written, say, that he believes Jews are subhuman vermin and need to be exterminated, there would be zero question he should be fired and neither you nor anyone else who isn't an actual Nazi would be leaping to defend his right to express that opinion.

That photo looks terrible compared to what a modern device would capture...

It's easy to take an aesthetically pleasing scene and capture it in a way that looks vaguely pleasing when zoomed out.

The moment I zoomed in an extremely moderate amount it looked horrible, especially at the hardest part to capture, the clouds and sun.
John Gruber on Pixel’s Night Site Camera

https://daringfireball.net/linked/2018/10/25/night-sight

Gruber has stated repeatedly how much of an embarrassment that the MacBook keyboards have become but he famously still uses an old ADB Apple keyboard so he doesn’t have as much first hand experience as Marco who buys computers more frequently.

They have both complained about Macs falling behind compared to what Microsoft is doing with the Surface line.

Marco routinely criticizes the Apple Watch and compares it to the non smart watches he prefers. Gruber also prefers regular watches.
Because companies like to make money, and they can't make money when systems fail.

If maintaining a codebase causes burnout, maybe software isn't for you.
Not so much recession but the window in which non-tech companies can “techwash” for IPOs is rapidly closing if the WeWork fiasco hasn’t slammed it shut already
The people who say, "This is all obvious" are often the people who understand the "obvious" the least.
Thanks for all that you, John and Stripe have done for startups. Question for you, how will you continue to remain focused on helping startups if/when you go public and have shareholders to appease?
This is standard for standards (heh). If you work in the industry, your employer pays for access. Everyone else pays $50-100s a pop or buys a subscription.
