Definitely, 90s tech sometimes is the right answer.. HTTP request compared to HTTPS is far less back and forth between the server and the client, and websockets (I've used them) don't scale well into the super high concurrent connection counts (like more than 1 million) -- would love to know if there is an implementation that does? Or if its just implemented by lots of parallel servers each running like 100k websockets each?
USC a tax of 8% on all earnings before any deductions, such as pension contributions which is where normal income tax kicks in has been in place since the crash. It was supposed to be temporary but will probably never be repealed. That and having the highest mortgage rates in Europe in order to get the banks into profitability are how the ordinary people will be paying for this for the rest of their lives.
Amazon has a nice suite of services. A phone that has Music, Books, Shopping, Cloud Storage for Photos, and a few key apps (Uber, Lyft, popular games) but somewhat constrained otherwise, would be great for Seniors or people who don't need a high-performance general-purpose computer in their pocket.

> All the vulnerabilities. Speculative execution vulnerabilities were found in AMD, just not the meltdown vulnerability.

Just Not Meltdown. Or SPOILER. Or Fallout. Or RIDL. Or ZombieLoad.

You're really underselling the difference between the two. AMD's processors have only shown vulnerability to the issues that are inherent to the nature of speculative execution (Spectre).

Intel, on the other hand, has suffered from no less than 5 or 6 separate disclosures of vulnerabilities from various places in their microarchitecture where they cut corners on process separation in order to gain speed. None of these exploits have been pulled off against AMD, despite many of the papers authors explicitly trying to,
It certainly started that way! At this point it's pretty different though. I enjoy both for different reasons.

I seem to remember that companies that employ freelancers (programmers, in particular) who don't pay tax through their limited company's payroll can be made legally liable for the back income tax their freelancer fails to pay. This incentivises employers to insist on a limited company (or an umbrella company). This deters employers from hiring sole-trader freelancers (too much fuss).
They have to trash the Good Friday agreement because it requires a customs-free border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. This isn't possible with Brexit: having a customs-free border means anyone can just import anything into or out of the UK through NI.

Maybe one solution would be to have a county-by-county referendum, where each county in NI gets to decide whether it wants to stay in NI or instead join Ireland. This would make NI smaller, but would concentrate the UK loyalists in it, and the number of Republicans (the ones who want to rejoin Ireland) would decrease a lot (many would be in the counties that would leave, which are probably mostly right on the border, and some might even move), so maybe re-establishing a hard border would be more palatable then.

Interestingly six of the top ten built on Ruby!

Python is also strongly represented, but zero started with back-ends on Java, .Net. PHP, or other more broadly popular options.

This is strong evidence that the startup world is dramatically different from that of enterprises and businesses where tech is ancillary (which dominate total numbers in popularly shared statistics). In many ways it's a vindication of PG's old essays. Though we're not all using Lisp, startups lean towards it.

I'm not sure how it worked in Ireland. But when we bailed the banks out in the US, it was through a loan that they paid back in a year.

Lending someone IMAGINARY money to avoid, potentially, the next Great Depression doesn't really seem like a bad decision, to me.

Giving REAL money to the homeless is much more controversial. I'm not saying I oppose it. It's just this notion of one or the other -- at least from how things went down in the states -- doesn't really make sense. It was apples to oranges.
Is a boycott a form of trade war? What about an embargo? I'm surprised you can make such a sweeping statement. Frankly I don't think things are as simple as "free markets" since they don't really exist. Companies are also political entities, exercising power in the real, physical world. Not some idealized vacuum market.

What if we imposed tariffs on Chinese products that contain high amounts of lead? Does nobody win then? Suppose further that such a tariff hinders the expansion of companies who put high amounts of lead in their products, allowing a company who does not use lead to gain a supply chain and infrastructure advantage in these "expanded areas". Is nobody winning then?

Both. It'll easily use several hundred mb of ram and, if you use its cache feature (enabled by default) and hit the cache while measuring the latency, you'll see it takes about 10x the time to respond compared to pdnsd's cache.

Show HN: Boonited – an interest based social network
Boonited offers a completely new way to connect with friends and with the communities you like. Instead of traditional posts, you will send queries and will vote on queries sent by others. Pick any subject you have in mind and send a query to your friends and to communities that may be interested in it. Follow hashtags to vote on queries about subjects you are interested in and automatically share those votes with your friends.

On Boonited, you can keep your queries private or make it public by adding one or more hashtags to it. Public queries can be seen by the selected hashtag followers and their friends, while private queries will be seen exclusively by your friends. You have control over who your followers are since only you can invite them to follow you, not the other way around. This means you won’t get undesirable follow or connection requests here. Phew!!! Boonited is a place for close friends only.

Add up to five options on your queries, using text or pictures, and discover which one your friends and hashtag followers would pick. Invite friends via SMS, email or some chat apps, like Telegram or Whatsapp. Get ready for a more interactive and meaningful social network.

Actually, it reminds me of that pre-iPad Microsoft project that they killed off to focus on Windows 8. It was almost production ready too; had dual screens and there was a neat video of how the stylus interacted with it. I can't remember what it was called though and can't seem to find it searching DDG/Google.
The best solution was the old solution. Don't demonetize videos and do not give in into the demands of advertisers to select content. If that had happened, the "objectionable" content wouldn't be as popular as it is now.

Breaking down monolithic databases into microservices.

Containerism and modern devops practices become borderline impossible when you're working with a monolithic database that's encumbered in complex business processes. Ideally you're working with independent, decoupled microservices, but that's far from the reality that most admins face.

No that's not what it said. First there s no such thing as a brain state, second yes ofc the waves can target these specific proteins, they explain why in the article: the hydrogen bond between atoms of the molecules of the proteins would be "weak enough" to be broken.

And, to be honest, they said it's hard to verify what happens inside and it s a limited study: maybe it does destroy a lot more.

In any case stop spitting nonsense brain state magic :)
“Why I Resigned as a (StackOverflow) Moderator”
>the OK hand gesture was labeled as a white supremacist sign by the ADL

I'm not 100% sure you're criticising that, so if you're not, please take this comment as directed at the many other times I have seen it criticized on HN and elsewhere:

It always surprises me to see fairly smart people throw this out there like it's obviously silly. Communication is based simply on actual usage of language and symbols. If a bunch of people want to associate a symbol (especially one that's still ubiquitously known but has somewhat fallen out of popular real-world usage) with something very controversial and offensive, then they can realistically do that by simply using the symbol that way, even if they're only doing it as a hilarious joke. Then it just means that sometimes (depending on context), until they stop using it that way. If people are, in practice, using a symbol to mean a certain thing, then it means that thing (with the likelihood of meaning being a function of context). I don't have to think about it or philosophize about it when I see it - it comes naturally based on context, because that's how language works. If I've seen 10 usages of <Mercury-symbol> to mean "Mercury" in the past 5 years, and 75 usages of it to mean "kill all the elderly" in the past year, then when I see somebody who seems antagonistic write <Mercury-symbol> with no planetary context in sight, I can reasonably assume he probably means the latter, and I would probably be correct. As another example, the "V" sign means different things in different places - but if I see it in the US, I don't fret at the idea that I might misinterpret it. The fact is, in practice, it's used here to mean "peace", therefore it means "peace" at that moment. Sort of like how money works. You can't just say "no" and make the social agreement go away.

*edit: I didn't know HN filtered some seemingly innocuous characters - I've replaced my usage of the Mercury symbol with <Mercury-symbol>.

The rate at which technology advances doesn't change whether a good is considered a durable good or not. That term has a specific meaning in economics.

There are 50-year-old cars still in service today. I wouldn't drive one, because I want to take advantage of the tech advancements of the past 50 years. But that doesn't mean cars aren't durable goods.

And even though computing is barely 50 years old, there are 50-year-old computers in service today. I wouldn't use one, because I want to take advantage of the tech advancements of the past 50 years. But that doesn't mean computers aren't durable goods.

This applies even if a 50-year-old car, which predates bluetooth, doesn't have built-in bluetooth. And it applies even if a 50-year-old computer, which predates HTTP, can't load websites.

tkchia [0] has been working on getting gcc to emit 16-bit clean code (no 32-bit code prefixes) along with ancillary tooling like binutils, a couple different libc's, and some of the things you'd expect from a 16-bit x86 C compiler like far pointers and DOS-specific libc functions [0].

Nothing or Google depending on how you want to think about it. Google needed this service for themselves, as the default fallback DNS for their devices, their domain registrar, for GCP and it made sense to just let the public use it too for some good PR.
There is no such thing as a user interface which is naturally "intuitive". Discoverable user interfaces provide consistency and affordance. If a new operating system or device uses similar affordances to things a user has seen before, they can rapidly transfer their experience. This is usually what people mean when they call a UI "intuitive": conventional.

Users always have to learn, and as user interface designers we must give them a path for learning. If there's no path to learning about a feature, it might as well not exist, irrespective of whether you consider it "secondary".

Gestures, by design, have no afforances. Pinch-zoom is nearly the only multitouch gesture that has been so universally accepted and applied that it can be taken as given.

Pressure-based shortcuts, in the absence of corresponding visual cues (as implemented by Apple), likewise have no affordances. The 3d-touch hardware was great, and worked as intended. iOS used it in an opaque, undiscoverable manner, and the result was a total dud.
Nobody established any nullification criteria. They just said “do you want to leave the EU”. Parliament then negotiated an exit deal. The problem seems to be that the many of the same voters who said “yes” are unable to get their representatives to agree on accepting that deal.

I wonder if they would be like stale cheetos, that would make sense, ha. I agree with your statements.
Something else to consider (and something we've had to deal with at work): Not all company firewalls support websockets, long polling, and other newer technologies. So, if you want your product to work as many places as possible (without working with every potential user independently), you really do need to use tech from the 90's.
They want to tell us that "this doesn't matter to consumers", but this is just another way of saying "we're only interested in actually marketing to consumers that can't tell the difference".

That amounts to repartioning Ireland. The original partition in 22 was traumatic, and we're still living with the consequences today. The partitioning of India in 47, and the British Mandate of Palestine in 48 were also traumatic and bloody events. Partition generally causes forced population transfer, which tends to lead to bloodshed.

> If Zuckerberg... doesn’t decisively move to challenge TikTok soon... we could see our interest data, faces, and attention forfeited to an app that while delightful to use, heralds Chinese political values at odds with our own.

I'm usually a fan of Josh Constine's analysis of Facebook, but positioning Facebook as a defender of American political values is a bit much. If the growth-at-all-costs company that led us to social media dystopia is our best defense against Chinese political values, we are well and truly fucked.
This is really calming and helpful.
It depends. . . if the compiled program is 100% compiler output, then it's fine. If the compiled program ends up including bits of library code that ships with the compiler, then, in the absence of special exceptions, the output will also need to be AGPL-licensed.

That's exactly why, for example, LLVM ships with a modified version of the Apache license: http://llvm.org/foundation/relicensing/LICENSE.txt (see the bottom)

The ESP32 is pretty beefy, can you not do things on-device? I wouldn't rely on the network after what I've seen, but I haven't tried the ESP32.

Are you talking about horizontal or vertical density? Vertically, the 60 pixel per meter strip is the best you can do (there are some denser ones but need a lot of current), but a diffuser will make it look much better. Horizontally, you can get very fine resolution, up to the refresh rate of the strip.
