I can now see what you meant by completion not being left-to-right solvable. Thanks for taking the time to lay out a clear example.

While completion isn't be solvable in general, surly we can agree that its usefulness (when solvable) merits making it more readily available to users.

Having the shell implementation automatically deduce suggestions from the command itself (when available/possible) would go a long way towards increasing availability in my opinion.

The only way to prove citizenship on the spot would be with a passport. The government knows your citizenship status when you register to vote.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind if the only requirement to vote was a passport to prove citizenship. It would probably disenfranchise lots of folks though, given only a fraction of the country has one.

I'm glad to hear that Backblaze has finally made such an option available. However:

> For cost reasons, Backblaze purges the files that you deleted from your local drive after 30 days.

As someone who once almost lost his PGP key and had to recover it from old physical backup media, I'd like to point out that that is not a "backup" service. It's sort of like a lazily expiring mirror, but it's definitely not a backup service.

Do you look at all of your files every 30 days? How long would it take you to notice that a random file had disappeared from the filesystem 7 layers deep? Have you ever needed to restore a years-old file?

(You need not explain why you do it; I understand about users who could use it as a cloud storage service by deleting files after they're backed up. The point remains that it's not a backup.)
These are new permissions that didn’t previously exist.

Why would “prioritizing my projects” include working for less than market wage for a for profit company?

Generally agreed upon definitions with respect to political systems/philosophies are a challenge, but I would respectfully disagree with the idea that the government is intended to be a trusted moral authority in a democracy (or a republic).

At least with respect to the US notion of limited governmental powers I think the goal was to keep the government from acquiring to much authority never mind something as all encompassing as "moral authority".

> the learning investment required by jq (learning a full blown DSL) is total overkill for most simple JSON based tasks.

There's no reason why you would need to learn the whole DSL for simple tasks. Just learn what you need. For simple stuff, the DSL is also simple.

jtc also seems to have its own DSL by the way, and it doesn't really seem more intuitive than jq's:

jtc -x'[0][:][name]<person>v [-1][children]<kids:false>f[0]<kids:true>v' -T'{"{person} has children":{kids}}' -r

That's apparently the equivalent of:

jq '.Directory | map({"\(.name) has children": (.children | length == 0)}) | .[]'

There are some things that seem simpler on jtc, though, like searches of string values without regard to the json structure.

It's too early to tell. Wars of any kind, including trade wars, are a short term cost hoping for a long term gain. If the Chinese economy is hurt more than the American economy that is one level of success. Then, if manufacturing moves back to the US and other Western hemisphere nations that's another level of success.
Please point to the research paper(s) that document "chronic pain" as a condition experienced by people who are otherwise perfectly healthy.

I've had (and to some degree still have) the condition I think you're talking about. I've had pain in various parts of my body for 15+ years, and it's been difficult to isolate a cause. But there is a cause, and now it's been found, it's being treated, and the condition is subsiding.

And yes, avoiding sugar/alcohol/gluten/dairy (along with other known inflammatory food ingredients) has been a part - though not all - of my treatment.

This is not some "random experiment"; it's an approach that has been widely tested and is advocated by many practitioners, including conventional physicians.

> Because of this scarcity, everyone who feels strongly about a story feels that their story is being unfairly suppressed on HN

Writing something to graph the course of stories over time was just something I did for fun, then I noticed that stuff. And again, I'm talking about stories that are ranked lower (and that can mean much lower, several pages lower) than stories that have a lower score, are older, and have more comments.

This story has over 2300 points and is at #32 after 14 hours, would you say that's normal?

Seeing this for a few months now, I did kinda pull back from other threads, at least from long comments on trivial subjects. I don't feel okay, at all, discussing harmless things while important things that intersect with the responsibility of the tech aren't able to be discussed freely. If you then read that as caring so strongly about China [sic], that doesn't mean I just dreamed all that. Or that I do care so much, for that matter: I just dig into things, swiftly and as thoroughly as I can, I've done this with dozens if not hundreds of subjects, and being German this is right up an alley which is way bigger and way more important than even the CCP, from my perspective.

It's not that other don't seem to get flagged by users, too. But for months, it was like clockwork when it came to the CCP. Whenever I saw something gain traction, I paid attention, and without fail, it sank.

And new software point releases, neat little CSS tricks, anything to do with money and making money, and so on. Including human rights, and the intersection with tech and/or games.
I'm interested in this too! I've been looking for one that can be used with arm-gcc for cross compiling on embedded platforms. What do people use in such situations?
A few points:

A) It’s very difficult to distinguish false-flag violence from hooligans

B) Once violence starts, it’s hard to stop it, but that doesn’t mean that the government should automatically get its way because a small minority of hooligans/false flag operatives got involved

C) Protesting for universal suffrage from an uncontrolled slate of candidates seems eminently reasonable from a western perspective; what do you think is bad about this?

There's a weird trend on HN. For proprietary products (e.g. slack) I rarely see them getting criticized for having a proprietary license. If you are fully open source, then of course they love you. But if you try to strike a compromise and give away a lot while still keeping some licensing terms to let you make money off your creation, then you'll be bombarded by complaints about your licensing.
Most wrong abstractions are created when people anticipate further growth that never comes. I wouldn’t say they are wrong by themselves, but it could be argued you should just refactor your code when you need them.
You could do that within a single window.

I'm curious if the guy who came up with that even uses it. Honestly one of the worst "features" that Apple has ever green-lighted.
Plenty of things measured in millions are small. A million bytes is a small amount of memory. There are plenty of domains where a working definition of "small" is roughly "can be slurped into memory on a single node without jumping through hoops for provisioning".

A million iterations that total to order of ten seconds seems quite reasonable for a quick performance comparison. It's just underspecified for the rest of us to take away much beyond that.
I expect applications to have access to my desktop. I do not need to be asked. It would be like asking permission to access my clipboard, or use my speakers, or read my keyboard.

If you bombard users with dialogues for every little thing, all you will do is train them to habitually click yes. Now you have lowered security, because users will ignore the more serious warnings too. And you've wasted everyone's time in the process.

The problem with "power users" is fairly simple: defining what a power user is, isn't trivial, and different people have different ideas as to what is good. Then you have being a "power user" does not mean "I want any app on my system to be able to do anything".

As for not asking for their password: This actually makes a lot of sense. Users already hit "ok" fairly quickly (I assume the inclusion of the readable name + icon in the dialog is to make noticing what is being asked more immediately obvious). Requiring a password would have the effect of making every new app ask for a password, so you are training a user to (effectively) grant root access for any software they install.

Compare the outcome: user auto clicks "give this app access to your contacts", app can access and/or encrypt the user's contacts. User auto-enters their account password: app can access and/or encrypt everything.

Note that even power users run into malware - they're not magically immune - and if you download "vscode" and it asks for access to your contacts, email, etc you might go "huh" and re-examine it.

They're literally killing us by the tens of thousands every year. It seems like every week there's some story about a Chinese product with Mercury or other poisons. Recently we caught them smuggling enough fentanyl through our southern border to kill a billion people. I agree, the only "deal" China will accept is a total capitulation of the United States, so there will be no deal.
Very well said. It is a rough upgrade, but a step forward in security and privacy.
Ah, gatekeeping, how convenient.

1. Invent a pseudoscientific field.

2. Make normative, political claims from said field.

3. When people outside the field express dissent, invent a non-profit to "verify the credibility of influential claims," and only allow people in said field to join said non-profit and verify the credibility of said claims: https://sciencefeedback.co/for-scientists/

> To Apply: You need to have a PhD in a relevant discipline, have at least one published article in a peer-reviewed scientific journal within the last four years in the field they are commenting on.

To criticize climate science, you must first become a climate scientist, which requires assenting to the belief in the validity of climate science, because anyone who dissents from that belief would not be awarded a PhD in the field nor have peer-reviewed articles published in it.

So only people who agree with them are allowed to criticize them. Hm, sounds a lot like HN. And so scientific! I'm convinced, thanks for the link.
I'm not so sure - if a tough on China stance continues to poll well, the next administration will probably follow suit. What absolutely will be in the wilderness is the current approach of tarriffs and bailouts.
> But does it have higher customer retention over the long term?

I'm going to guess the answer is no - which is why organizations have to be careful which metrics they measure and incentivize on. Granted, this failing is industry-wide as the longest view on most orgs' dashboards is YoY. When that metric starts freefalling, it most likely will be too late to do anything about it, but most of the staff (up to the CEO) will have padded Resumes with amazing numbers for improved conversion/revenue which will get them to the next job.
Furthermore, why would they leave the corpses? If they actually are infected you would never want to leave the corpse or have to come back for it later, and if they aren't, well, you have a super creepy blood-drained corpse with various organs surgically excised just sitting there on someone's property as a magnet for panic and conspiracy speculations.

If the govt actually wanted to collect cattle for this kind of testing, they could easily pass a law that let them take animals and pay market rate for them. I imagine this would be much cheaper and simpler than ongoing covert helicopter operations combined with the cost of the investigations that the FBI did in the '70s. It's an explanation that makes basically no sense
> who got the same grades as me is probably a better student and will be more sucessful with a given set of resources than I would since they overcame more adversity than I did.

Isn't that contradictory? Are you saying that african americans achieve the same as asian americans even though they did not have to study hard? Then why would affirmative action be necessary?

Affirmative action is applied to upgrade the scores of candidates with lower scores if they are of a disadvantaged minority. So, an asian american with higher scores (and who worked harder) will miss out on an opportunity to an african american with lower scores (who did not work as hard).

> Apple is still good

I think you miss my point... an entire company can't be "good". "Apple" is a brand. You may like a lot of their products, but they also have some products with shit features, and they sometimes do "things" that are not so much "good" for "the users" as they are good for the company.

Their MacBook Pro keyboards are the worst in the industry. They make it so a user can't repair a product that they own. They censor application platforms based on the country a user is in. The majority of their products are a "captive market", often impossible to use with anything but another Apple product. There's many things Apple does that are against the users. But here you are, enjoying some of their products, so you call their entire brand, and presumably their entire product line, "good".

How does one define "good", then? Good enough for all? For some? For you? Good in quality? Good morally or ethically, and if so, based on whose morals/ethics? Do the people and places they effect outside of their immediate users matter? I don't think it's useful to think of an entire brand in such a simplistic way.

BTW, Google and Facebook offer necessary value. Facebook is used to keep up with people's lives (without it, many grandparents would know next to nothing of the lives of their grandchildren, for example) and encompasses two of the largest instant messaging platforms. Google is probably the biggest provider of e-mail, an absolutely essential component of having an online life (which is increasingly necessary for more of regular life, from getting a ride somewhere, to accessing government services, to transferring funds), to say nothing of search, maps, docs. And many of these services would be pointless without the Apple/Google/Microsoft platforms, but many of those platforms would be pointless without the services. So what's "necessary" is a bit subjective.

(Caveat to all of the above: Fuck Oracle.)

What would Wall Street care? All that matters is that a company goes public while there is still some (perceived, at least) upside for retail investors.

I've only ever had one problem with Backblaze, in my ... 7 or 8? ... years as a customer.

The problem: The UI for excluding directories is horrific. It uses the Windows "Browse for Folder" *SHBrowseForFolder) dialog, which requires you click down through each and every level of your directory structure to get to the directory you want to exclude. You can't cut and paste, it doesn't start from the directory you added your last exclusion in, it's just lots and lots and lots and lots of clicking.

This doesn't seem like it would be hard to fix, so I'm guessing they don't consider it broken?

If the Backblaze folks are still reading: Could you please, pretty please, with sugar on top, for the love of god, fix your fucking exclusions interface? Please?
