I agree, and I think I've kind of trained myself to ignore it for the most part. Of course, this sets my ADD-addled brain off down a path of wanting to chase down every optimization for my ~/.spacemacs - thank you for that :P

VSCode is great and responsive locally on this macbook pro, and running locally on Windows 10 with a directory open in WSL is also very snappy. Unfortunately some of my work has to be conducted in an Amazon Workspace, which is so slow sometimes as to be unusable. So frustrating, and apropos of nothing, just wanted to rant!
I use this plugin for debugging. Works a treat!

GDB is also extensible as hell, and I can’t imagine vs code has something gdb doesn’t.
Be that as it may, I wasn't talking about C++. Also, the integer operation optimizations require no such flags on either side, and yet the resulting machine code was still very poor for Rust.
How worthy is it /really/ for a psychologist to read up on quasars?
We had thousands of years to address the root cause and income inequality is still very much here. There are just too many forces in favor of keeping and expanding it.
Hi.

While I like the general idea, I do have mixed feelings storing so much valuable data online, on servers of a company I don't know, that operates in the US.
>In any case no one could convince me to call the color of ... snow and sea cold.

How about the color of a gas stove flame?

Maybe we should have called them "warm white" and "hot white" instead.
Just more evidence that everyone parents differently. My friends hardly hear about the good stuff that my kids do. I want to talk about the grime and the shit and the speech delays and the temper tantrums. That's the stuff I feel like I need to get off my chest, when I'm afraid for their future.
They seem to have made it their task to report in depth on every single violent crime in the country. Being from Germany and having never lived in the UK, this is weird to me. For a crime to end up on tagesschau.de (the German equivalent to bbc.co.uk/news ) it needs to be of... well... national interest. This just seems like yellow press, honestly. Or is there something I'm missing?

edit: also their "reporting" on anything climate related is amazing. It's no wonder that extinction rebellion, a movement originating in the UK, has as the first demand to "tell the truth". At first I was confused because climate change in my media consumption was a regularly occurring topic. But then I checked the bbc website. See [1] for a screenshot. This is at a time, mind you, when the whole of Europe was shattering temperature records left and right, and Greenland was melting. And they choose to report on a thumb wrestling tournament.

> A current example: Hongkong. They have headline reporting every time there is a protest while other protests in other countries, and arguably much more significant protests, barely get a mention. This is not a coincidence.

Hong Kong is a former British colony with international importance, Chile is not.
In Alexis ohanian’s book he says you can still find them if you go back far enough on the site.
People downvoting this probably don’t know how hard 5k displays were to come by in the past (and still are occasionally).
It's a pretty tool, but like the other comment says, it could use a screenshot!

It's also not clear how long the link is active, or that we are even supposed to share the link.

Also, hosting (open) data anonymously is a market niche (since pastebin have a 500kb size) but you may not want to become the anonymous data host for obvious reasons.
I'm a c++ programmer but honestly hate the language more and more with every year, because it's so complex. Can somebody explain the first code sample to me?
Ask a lot - and you will get a little.

Ask too much and you will get nothing.

One thing that always kept me wondering: all politicians readily talk about their priorities. I want to know what is not their priorities. What are they willing to offer in their negotiations?
Brave browser integrates Tor browsing, might be worth trying for you.
From what I have read OxyContin was sold as needing only two doses a day. At that level it’s not that addictive. But it soon turned out that two times a day is not enough so people took more to avoid crashing in between. With that amount it became very addictive but companies still kept selling the two doses a day although they knew that people would quickly take more.
Director of UX here. We're trying to focus on improving existing workflows and less on visual design changes. That being said, form styles will be overhauled soon.
It's a somewhat insulting stereotype to think of designers as merely being interested in "sexy color schemes".

There are many people in the design/UI/UX space specialising on (often numeric) information design. They tend to be as fluent as any programmer in statistics, if not more.

To this day, programmers tend to conspiratorially suggest to designers to read Edward Tufte, even though his are the first books they make you read in any information design class, and have been since the early 80s.
That is fantastic. I might finally make the switch over from firefox.
That might be more in the "very low" segment. At any rate, the point stands in my experience; so many of the whims and desires my partner and I have been able to cater to for our kids come from our privileged ability to do so, and I can list a few dozen things we'd cut out immediately if time and money were more scarce.
Thank you for the kind words, I wanted to write a whole screed/rant about how I'm still scared of doctors and won't speak up against them to get better care, but I figured HN wasn't the place and I'd get mocked.

I'll definitely listen to that podcast, thank you for taking the time to type that up. I definitely appreciate you and the effort you've put in to that response :)
Food gets expensive, everything else gets cheap.
No jobs. High skilled freelances paying huge amounts of money. Everyone has a bot, and bots are more popular than cars. Cars become just fun. Temporary public service grants minimal food. Almost no crime, everything is tracked. Web become VR and too deep to have a human guide, google VR guide is the most popular. Google and Facebook become gov in some territories. A wide range of variety of electronic devices in sizes and formats, weareable. And.... bots are not that smart yet, not like a money machine. But smart enough to play anything together. PRO CPU/GPUS's only in the cloud for rent.
ah, that is a nice movie but no, this is from early 1990s (or maybe late 1980s). The premise was kinda similar to Stuart Little but I remember there were multiple mice who were able to talk to each other, some toy car driving scene and a boy who perhaps owned them.
I miss a good tutorial on vim plugins :) still not trivial to explain to new comers how to use plugins they find on github for instance

Note: this is now a duplicate, happy if mods remove this.
Sure that case is a stretch, but I am curious about a lot of things that would really help my career or my social goals, but I still get stuck on a garlic or arguing about Apple and Google and China on HN.

I think the simple thing is that I've picked the low hanging fruit and what I need to learn and work on is hard for me to learn and work on, and I have no pressure to excel from parents and schools and potential mates, so I don't do it.
I am using Firefox 70 and uBlock origin. I'm a bit off the discussion, is it working or is it not?

Not according to CDC. Increased mortality is caused by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
You can do this in Firefox. Open about:config and search "dotonion". Toggle it. The other arrangements are left up to you.
I think both VSCode and Visual Studio defaults to this if you clone a repo using the editor GUI.
I set this up at one point. I should try and find the config again....
Ten weeks to try and build 3 communities... So a little more than 3 weeks each.

3 weeks. And they declared it a failure. Wow. I know "failing fast" can be a virtue in letting you move on to the next thing, but this is too much.

Getting even nominal amounts of free traffic and engagement in that time period is a "win". Give it 6 months of grass roots, a bit of time for network effects to appear at all. Why would they have any sticky users when there is practically no content yet? Let the slow free traffic gradually build some. Then maybe get some paid traffic, who will have a reason to stay around.

Sure, they still might have failed then too, but then at least it would have been a true failure, for the right reasons.
Same. Absolutely galling.
SPA Revolution with WebAssembly and Asp.net Blazor (TechDays 2019)
Indeed. To be clear, I am agreeing with you.

Thank you for checking it out and for your feedback!

An initial thought I had was to look at it as being akin to an insurance policy of sorts and that's what sort of led me down the recurring revenue path. Definitely will consider one-time fees for the future! Thanks again!
It depends on what you're debugging. There are plugins for a variety of languages and if you're a web dev, none of that matters since debugging with the browsers dev tools is pretty comfortable.
Let's check that:

Ok, says they have Bluetooth and WiFi. I'm not sure I would trust the firmware not to be vulnerable to 0-day data exfiltration once the device is back in base.
I think one of the issues the BBC suffers from is that in the attempt to be impartial they can sometimes give undue weight to crack-pot ideas.

That said, I often see both sides of a debate complaining about the bias of the BBC. So long as that is the case then we can reasonably assume they are doing a fair job of walking the fine line between both sides.
Why is that bad, per se?

In practice some sites drop Tor connections, and localisations come through wrong, but that doesn't seem to be why you said "no".
How the Government Helped Google Reach Quantum Supremacy
Possible. The point was that people kept building mansions in clearly unsuitable areas and when the private market wouldn’t insure them they made the government do so.

Do your feelings change at all with knowing that the data is completely encrypted at rest and inaccessible by me/the company even though I have access to the database?
It’s not it’s counterproductive. People want alternative transportation but also encourage undermining the effort. It’s like they don’t think things out.

Now, I’m totally fine with the secondary market and repurposing used scooters the companies dispose of after 100 hours or whatever it is. But encouraging theft is that same old saw of why we can’t have nice things. These companies should have programmed to sell their used scooters to the public.
I think anthropology has a lot to say about how we tailless monkeys intuitively behave in modern complex civilization.
If you're interested in learning the language, you may want to look at HÍ's Icelandic as a Second Language programs. As a side benefit, they're officially full-time university study, which makes you eligible for a student resident permit(1).

This is the route I took last year, for similiar reasons as yourself. I'm now pursuing my Master's in CS there and having a great time.

That's true, most broadcasters have to also bid for broadcasting contracts which give them a-lot of revenue too if they win.

However, UK audiences tend to question the TV license if the BBC does anything out of their duty. But non-UK audiences will see ads on the site that will eventually be clicked on.

So what does the BBC do? Increase more click-bait articles on newsbeat, entertainment, brexit sections to make up for their lost UK audience that are now on other news or streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, etc.
> I mean this in as polite a way as possible, but why wouldn't established companies like Stripe just fuck off to another city entirely?

To be totally blunt, I also suspect a large part of it is that the founders would like to be in the bay area.

I don't mean that as a slight either - I think if you're spending a good portion of your life on something, you might as well do it in a place you enjoy spending time in!
I would suggest a mix of both. The issue with lifetime fees is eventually someone will start to cost you money. I had a friend who sold some lifetime subscriptions to a VPN service, it's just not entirely feasible.

On the other hand, this is what I use BitWarden for, so my wife has access to important accounts and vice-versa. BitWarden does provide free shared passwords for 2 users.
Everyone has an agenda, news and comments are product of people and people are inherently subjective. Moreover, much of written history, as the adage go, is documented by the victors. And even if you try to take it on you to read from broader sources and rank them by some kind of elusive objective reputation, you are still biased in trying to reconsile them with your prior system of belief about how world works.

I think it is still better to have access to the other point of view,
and as one frenchman once said, even if you don't agree with a point of view, you should defend the right to be able to say it.
rust doesn't guarantee anything if you opt out of the guarantees. two examples that come to mind: unsafe and maybe bounds checks in release mode.

fastmath is probably different anyway, as the "breaking" is on a floating point logic level, as in: results become imprecise, but not exactly "wrong" - as in undefined behaviour. but i don't know fastmath, so i might be wrong.

Manipulating Text with Sed and Grep
> You can load local extensions in Firefox as well with warnings

Extensions loaded in about:debugging are not persistent, they are removed at the end of the browsing session.

> And has been pointed out in most of these threads, the reason for not allowing people to circumvent some things is because that also allows malicious software to circumvent it.

Yes, and the discussion mostly ends after people point out that malware if free to circumvent extension signing in any number of ways when it has root access on the device.

The threat model is flawed, or at the very least they're placing minimal security benefits above important user liberties.

Forcing extension signing by default is a great initiative, but we must be given ways to override defaults, guarded by administrative access and appropiate warnings, and be able to install local extensions in the browser we love, and that is the release version of Firefox.
GP didn't use 'sexy color schemes' to denigrate the hypothetical work that might be done, it was a description of what they like today.
calvino was a fascinating person and a powerful author. it's a shame he isn't more recognized in the mainstream of western literature.

he strikes me as the kind of person who is both mysterious and familiar at the same time -- someone who is wise and accessible, yet avuncular and rare to interact with. and, of course, he's deeply italian.

Director of UX here. What's your mobile vs desktop use? Which devices are you using?
That will help us getting more mobile-friendly in upcoming releases.
That’s a different thing, the actual control was as you describe (measuring stress markers over time).
The thing mentioned appear to be an attempt to confirm some previous study's finding about self-sufficiency, which is pretty much related to what you say about autonomy and control.

Never assume bad science when bad journalism would suffice.
I built a forum around 2001 for people in the state of Maine who loved cars. I seeded it with friends, I put fliers on interesting cars I found around the state, hosted meet ups, etc. It took a ton of effort to get that fly wheel to spin, but I made a few hundred dollars a month in ads from local business (car dealers, mechanics). Tons of fun, met great people and set me on a course that has served me to this day. I was a bit early for hyper niche communities though :)

Creating a better Reddit has been a brain storm side project I’ve been working on for years. The Internet needs it now more than ever. But after my $100k bet on VR I’m now more deliberate.

Anyway, this kid spending ten weeks on his side project is pulled out of a different era. Such experiments may have yielded fruit a decade or two ago.
I'm not sure this is the optimizer's fault. If I'm doing a bounds-checked array access that might panic, that panic is an observable side effect that cannot be reordered with respect to other observable side effects. That puts constraints on what the optimizer can do, not because it's not smart enough, but because it has to respect the meaning of the program.
This is cool, but I was a little disappointed to see the amendments as just commits. Should have been pull requests, with all the proposed amendments in there, with arguments about them, most of the PRs closed, only a few getting merged :)
Re school play: the phenomenon also neatly explains why Gene Hackman's line as Royal in The Tenenbaum's - "just a bunch of kids in animal costumes" - is so funny.

Apple TV App Launches on Amazon Fire TV Devices
A corollary to this well reasoned question would be: has Silicon Valley area peaked in terms of startup creation? On the one hand, you've got the talent there, attracted because the big tech is concentrated in the area; on the other hand, the living costs makes a ramen-profitable startup in SV way more expensive than a non-SV one.

How should I look at this issue from the perspective of an outsider? Should I join the crowd or run in the opposite direction?
I would be even happier if Firefox integrated Android password manager integration better.

This is very interesting. I think a lot of us have come to believe the claim that blue light exposure keeps you awake.

So what do we know? That excessive exposure to any kind of light at night keeps you awake?

It looks like there are several studies on the f.lux page discussing blue light specifically, but fair point that they could be cherry-picking just the studies that support their product.

Yeah, it makes total sense, historically, how we got to this point. I just like to take a step back sometimes and appreciate the silliness of language. Not trying to assign blame, but just notice: hey it's kind of screwed up that totally opposite descriptions of a temp are both correct depending on context.

"This 5,000 K light bulb is cooler than this 2,000 K light bulb."

No, and that's the problem. We crave the dopamine thrill of "news", but history would be much more useful to our understanding of our world.

The Volkswagen Autoeuropa plant in Portugal did this, and as far as I know it went very well.
US Federal law works just like this but with an awful manual process that is screaming for a VCS:

- Laws are passed by Congress and signed by the President.

- The actual formal text of the law is printed in the “US Statues at Large”. Think of this like a commit log— it’s written as a series of add/modify/remove operations to the United States Code (USC), which represents the “master” branch of the repo; our current laws.

- Sometimes the add/edit/remove operations have implications in many parts of the code. There is a manually-intensive process that actually determines which parts of the USC must be modified and how. This is like code review on a PR.

- Periodically, after many laws are passed and many mods to the USC, it is “republished” (tag/release).

Why we couldn’t do this with our laws is beyond me. Institutional inertia I suppose.
What prevents a 3letter agency from instructing you to:

1- give access to one of you trusted contact accounts

2- disable sending notifications to the account holders email

3- 3letter agency clicks on request data

4- data gets released ( as it will not get denied if the account holder does not receive a notification)
What are those opinions?
Probably wouldn't even need a nuclear payload for that. If it was a sufficient size starship impacting at light speed I assume the impact would be tremendous.

> First, the malicious app tries to determine whether it is being tested by the Google Play security mechanism. For this purpose, the app receives from the C&C server the isGoogleIp flag, which indicates whether the IP address of the affected device falls within the range of known IP addresses for Google servers. If the server returns this flag as positive, the app will not trigger the adware payload.

I can't believe something so simple worked so well.

Nobody is talking about surrendering. Quite the opposite: big wars are won in small battles.

There are a lot of small changes which can improve US healthcare: untie health insurance from employers. Make hospitals responsible for the billing, do that people don't get separate bills from anesthesiologists and surgeons. Make catastrophic plans accessible for everyone. Give free health insurance to children under 5.

All these are small things, but they are doable. Once done, let's pause and reconsider.
