Noted. From my perspective it's the same class of issues as with using _t suffix for custom C types - also reserved, so technically not good, but trivial to fix if it ever causes any trouble.

PS. In practice, the use of underscores, both single and double, as a name prefix is wide-spread. From the use of _foo notation to pass arguments to functions, to using _bar() to designate member functions that should be called under some sort of lock, to using __xxx for macros - I mean, yes, all this doesn't align with the C++ standard, but it exists, it's actively used in live code and it also leads to the coding habits that are hard to change. Hence the use of __f() in this particular library.
WBUR is more than just a radio station. They're an NPR affiliate--which is to say they're a web news organization as well--and they do a lot of pretty in-depth reporting.

I don't listen to the radio in the car too often anymore, but it's never left 90.9 FM since I bought the car.
Ask HN: Should I get a new domain for the product I'll launch?
Hello,

My colleague and I will soon launch a landing page for an upcoming product, which is basically a mobile app.

We are debating whether we should get a new domain for this product of if it won't make a difference.

Our "main" domain, the organization's one, is 6 characters long and ending with .com.

Our product's name is also 6 characters long, so our landing page would be abcdef.ghijkl.com.

Another point that was mentioned was e-mails, will it be a problem to have an e-mail like support@abcdef.ghijkl.com?
Probably because there is enough people that also value being able to always trace the code written by less experienced team members?

Hint: it is in bad manner to discuss voting on HN. Voting is a popularity contest. If you want your comments to be popular try to be pleasing to everybody and if you don't, don't get upset by downvotes.
We should be very protective of this archive, those that produce the news want it to be extremely compelling and convincing for the narrative they're writing, but instantly forgotten in time for the next crisis. The patterns that will emerge from this will be damning, and I suspect that efforts will be taken to ensure those patterns remain forgotten.
I imagine this would be a treasure trove for an artist like Kenneth Goldsmith [0]. He has a moving book consisting of verbatim transcriptions of broadcast shows that were aired during several tragic events in US history [1]. Or another book (800 pages; yep, I read it through) capturing every word he spoke during a week [2].

When served well, verbatim transcriptions can make a fascinating or very emotional form of art. It's like this stuff, with all the stutterings, illogical sentences etc, is occasionally more directly "wired to my head", and thus closer to sensing the other person's "thinking", than a regular, careful literary composition. Then again, it is probably also easier to "overuse", I guess.

It's more about how much you care that things like that are logically supported by and can be derived from the answers to questions like "what is physical reality?" For ancient Stoics—the ones who developed the philosophy—this was more important than for most people reading it today to learn how to be happier or whatever. So a modern reader might say "it's weird that this writer emphasizes determinism in their description of Stoicism" while an ancient Stoic might think it's weird that (basically) everyone interested in Stoicism today minimizes or ignores their physics.

[EDIT] not to say their physics & metaphysics were constant over time—Stoicism's period of serious activity spanned centuries, after all—and that much of their "lower level" philosophy wasn't very likely produced by working backward from their conclusions, which is common in philosophies that attempt to prove or support their ethical beliefs in such manner (see also: "natural law" or "natural rights")

[EDIT EDIT] and I'm not claiming that original approach is the superior one. It's just why there might be a difference in opinion over what's essential about Stoicism. The utility of a Stoic mindset may well be pretty unrelated to an underlying approach to the problem of evil, a statement about the nature of the divine, claims about what reality actually is, and so on.
PEI has an outsized number of MPs for their population though. Comparatively, Alberta gets 1 MP for each 120,000 people.
Good for you? I guess? Not sure what to do with that comment of yours. Is it an attempt at venting or constructing a situation where Let's Encrypt is responsible for your server?
Yes, but I think that is probably a backsplanation from later movies. I you only watch the first (xkcd:566) it felt more like there was a first person escaping.
Joel has a post about working in a bakery: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/05/11/making-wrong-code-...

His idea is that there is a pretty high standard of cleanliness in a bakery, just not the obvious one. A similar "hidden rule" presumably applies to cities etc.
Chrome seems to have this - that is, you define a domain+query string and a keyword that, when typed, indicated that it should be used on that domain query. Did Brave remove that feature?
It is possible that the five minute "shower insight" would not have happened without the three long days of coding.

The way I see it, finding a shortcut in a mental landscape requires that landscape to be setup in some sufficient detail.
>Wiener could not foresee a technological world in which innovation and self-organization bubble up from the bottom rather than being imposed from the top.

Holy shit this author is unutterably clueless. Wiener in fact wrote a whole book more or less on how innovation and self organization bubble up from the bottom. It was called "Invention: The Care and Feeding of Ideas."

> Wiener saw the world in a deeply pessimistic light.

Gee, a Jewish guy in 1950 was pessimistic and worried about totalitarianism. I wonder where he might have acquired this attitude? Maybe, you know, all them people recently killed in WW-2 might have spooked the man?

I used to respect Seth Lloyd ... until he published the ridiculous "on the computational capacity of the universe." Google informs me he also takes money from child molesting gangsters, which sounds about right. Dude should stop grubbing money from pedophiles and read a book.

Yep, likewise. I think the only thing that required the Desktop Experience off the top of my head was WSUS, but we have all sorts of other roles running on Server Core without any issues at all.

dhh had a recent response to someone about this:

https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1195013398280331264
"I think you need to read up on what “venture capital” means. It’s the force of capital that pushes you towards growth above all, as it seeks the maximum return through a liquidity event. Our deal had none of that, didn’t fund the business. Did you even read the piece?"

100x more colours is just nonsense. Trichromacy is already sufficient to see all the colours. The only difference is that some things may look like they are a different colour (which means they might be able to distinguish two objects where tetrachromats can't).
They didn't standardize the software, they standardized that all software should be accessible by API and that all software should be designed in such way to be openable to third party users if need arises.
True, but still quite impactful for initial issuance being provided live to end users of things like Squarespace, Zendesk, Pardot, etc.

You make a really good point. What one is actually doing with my strategy is arbitraging between my behavior and everyone else’s.
> It's not that learning anbn is not a toy problem. It is. But it's a toy problem for ILP.

I don't see why the distinction you are making matters.

> Neural nets can't solve it.

They can, it takes additional training to do so from scratch. Also, the work you cited is also nearly two decades old, I have no idea how SOTA would perform.

> solve the same old classification problems again and again

I truly have no idea what you're talking about, please point me to where, for instance, [0] has been solved "again and again"?

The claim I am making is not that Deep Learning can solve all problems, it cannot, the claim is that logic-based AI has failed to come up with anything of value whatsoever, whereas statistical ML has had sweeping results across many real problems -- for instance: AlphaZero solving Go, Chess, and Shogi; GPT-2 creating readable stories given a prompt; cars that can drive themselves under a wide range of circumstances. If you think a^nb^n is even remotely comparable to those feats, I don't think we can find any common ground.

WSJ INVESTIGATION

How Google Interferes With Its Search Algorithms and Changes Your Results

The internet giant uses blacklists, algorithm tweaks and an army of contractors to shape what you see

By Kirsten Grind, Sam Schechner, Robert McMillan and John West

Nov. 15, 2019 8:15 am ET

Every minute, an estimated 3.8 million queries are typed into Google, prompting its algorithms to spit out results for hotel rates or breast-cancer treatments or the latest news about President Trump.

They are arguably the most powerful lines of computer code in the global economy, controlling how much of the world accesses information found on the internet, and the starting point for billions of dollars of commerce.

Eh. Poetry and handling kids is orthogonal to intelligence.

Intelligence is a very narrow and specific skill of discerning the real. It allows us to predict things. Coincidentally, it allows to make money and thus is well paid. It's ok if others disagree with me.

My two examples above are meant to hint that intelligence consists of two distinct skills: ability to keep a still detailed image in your mind (the 3x3 grid example) and ability to analyze this still image (the counting bottles example). The latter builds on the former because if the image is blurry in your mind, there is nothing to analyze (you can't see words in the 3x3 grid if it keeps floating away). We can go further and divide the two skills into say 10 distinct levels of mastery, define their characteristics, but the point remains the same: it's a steep ladder that has to be climbed if one wants to get this skill.

Poetry, music and handling kids are different skills and are of no help in climbing the ladder of intelligence. No, I agree that compassion and other skills can be as useful as intelligence, but they are different skills and have to be mastered separately.

Just my 2c.
Dreams are recombinations of a nervous system's existing sense data.
The verb is "incorrectly" used only if you assume that "pelosi" implicitly refers to female politician "Nancy Pelosi". You might infer that if Nancy was recently in the news, but that's a hard leap.
Well yes, open source firmware and drivers would be cool but for most companies that's part of their proprietary IP and they think that making it open would make their product easier to copy/exploit by competitors. Since it cost them lots of time and money to develop there's no way your gonna convince management to just make it open unless you're some stinking rich FAANG Co. and those HW product sales are not your main source of income.

Just look how locked down Broadcom documentation and even datasheets are. Everything is under NDA.

HW business make money by selling more HW so making you buy their latest product just for the latest updates even though the 10 year old one still does the job is a viable business model for them.

Source: I worked in the hw industry and it's how they think.
A Discussion of Open Source Culture
dehydrated is easy to set up this way, and has barely any dependencies.
Thats true enough too, of course. But too often people want to be spoon-fed, and so you want to point them at decent resources which they can self-study, and then be on hand to answer specific questions.

There are books such as "Linux Device Drivers", which are great resources, and there is a lot of existing code out there to read too.

The person who asks "How do I do x?" without having appeared to carry out the minimum of self-searching themselves is often impossible to help in any detail anyway.
> Or is almost everyone’s blue cone exactly the same?

I get a stronger blue channel from one eye than the other. So I'm quite sure that there is variability, it's a matter of degree. Also, research into language and culture shows that the brain is heavily influenced by colour as well. Some cultures have difficulty seeing differing shades of blue or green that westerners think are trivial.
Show HN: Taxammend.com, a simple site to amend your taxes
So, "Brazil", then.
Further, I'd think the brain must value that extra information, lest it'll just ignore it. If a kid is told that oranges are orange and bananas are yellow, will it actually develop a sense that there are different shades? Otoh, the ability to pick the bananas which are just perfectly ripe or the sweetest strawberries might come in handy. Oranges, bananas and strawberries might be bad examples as to some degree trichromats can perform such feats, but there might be other fruits and vegetables for which this would be more difficult.
Ah! Now I have theory: We trichromats have a hue circle, and magenta is the point where the lower and higher wavelenghts are joined. However this simple model breaks down for tetrachromats. Perhaps they have two hue circles orthogonal to each other. This means, hue becomes two-dimensional. Really crazy to imagine such a thing.

I imagine in school the teacher tells the poor girl: Mix the blue and yellow colors to get green, and the girl doesn't understand because she has a lot more complex color model than the teacher.
If your opinion is biased, as you said, why do you even share it? Just be honest that you want to advertise your (commercial) product.

Your "comparison" is just a long list of what you think if bad about Joplin, as if there could not be a single good thing about it - there's nothing neutral or fair about any of it. You're just denigrating competition and advertising your own stuff.

I guess it's to be expected from someone whose tagline is "the app that doesn't suck", yet heavily copying features from all these other apps, which presumably, suck.
Does it handle endianness?
DOS based?
Some useful further reading regarding "why" of podman and buildah (for those interested in hearing the case):

http://crunchtools.com/docker-support/

http://crunchtools.com/why-no-docker/

I work for Red Hat, but I find myself pretty centrist on this issue. There's good arguments on all sides. Red Hat isn't doing podman and buildah etc because they want to crush or destroy docker. There are legitimate arguments and they have been open about them.

One big one is security. You may think it's overly paranoid to be concerned about having a daemon (especially one running as root, tho rootless docker is either here or near), but keep in mind different people have different requirements. If you're a bank securing billions of dollars, that attack surface is scary.
- It works for every application on your computer, not just web browsers that also support adblocking addons. Useful for applications with embedded web browsers (game clients, chat clients, etc).

- The failure mode is to block rather than allow. Even with a browser with adblocking addons, the addon could accidentally be disabled or uninstalled (by you, by a browser bug, by a browser feature, etc), so you'll start seeing ads. If the DNS server gets disabled you won't be able to resolve anything, let alone see ads.

(I used to do a home-made version of this, but resolving to a local gifserv so that I didn't have to see "page could not load" errors from ad spaces. But recently I got a pfsense router so I've switched to pfblockerng instead.)
> Given those things, what are the remaining biggest reasons I might prefer Firefox?

Iridium seems to be quite outdated - the latest release that's listed on the website is from April. Given that there have been multiple critical security issues fixed since then - with some of them allowing for arbitrary code execution (https://www.cisecurity.org/advisory/multiple-vulnerabilities...) - I personally would consider using Iridium too risky.

1. The certbot client is not a product of the Let's Encrypt CA and is not mandatory. You can use another client.

2. With the certbot client, instead of using a deep integration with your http server, you can use `certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path /var/www/html/.well-known/ -d example.com` (or similar) and provided you told your web server to serve file from the /var/www/html/.well-known/ filesystem directory under the /.well-known/ url path prefix on your domain, cert issuance and renewal will work. This should be easy to do with any web server. certbot will not know which web server you happen to use and will not care. You can replace the web server and renewal will keep working.
But Chrome is still #1 on the Mac, too. Most Mac users do download a third-party browser and use that rather than the built-in one. Just not Firefox.
Just don't use auto stuff. Be responsible for your configuration. certbot certonly --webroot works fine.
Do not by past those official chain
How many people just want to use their mobile device as an appliance as opposed to a few geeks that want an ssh server running on their phone?

How much more willing are people to buy and install random crap on an iOS device than a computer because they know that they don’t have to trust developers and that they can trust IOS to sandbox their apps and apps have to explicitly ask for permission to do many things?

I wish that there were more permissions around what apps could do. Specifically, access the network at all. Right now, you can deny an app permission to use cellular but not WiFi.
Advice for New Developers
Certainly. But that sort of subconscious prioritization isn't the same thing as putting in the work, as measured in reams of scratch paper.
You mean UI issues with Firefox, compared to Safari? Gosh, where to start?

- Standard keyboard shortcuts for text editing still don't work. That alone is a dealbreaker for me.

- The toolbar(s) don't look or work like standard toolbars. The standard toolbar editor is missing, too.

- Tabs don't look or act right, either. They're actually styled like Windows XP tabs.

- The scroll bars look good, but scrolling doesn't work the same as any other app. It hits a solid wall at either end.

- The preferences dialog is not a dialog, but a web browser tab (!), and its controls all look strange. They're not like standard OS controls or standard web controls. They're mostly just words floating on empty space, and some of them happen to be clickable. (It doesn't even have the advantage of being a webpage: the back button is enabled, but don't take me back to the last thing I was looking at here.) Some settings open a (custom, of course) dialog-in-a-tab, which is resizable, but if you resize it, the main scrollbar disappears, so you can't see the bottom of the dialog with the Cancel/OK buttons.

- It doesn't use the standard localization setting. It has its own, but half of Firefox doesn't even seem to use that, because even though my System Preferences is English, and my Firefox language preference is English, and even my Firefox content preference is English, it's showing half the UI in Japanese still. The context menu is half English and half Japanese!

- It's got a whole second menu (!) in the toolbar, with no way to hide it (see above: non-standard toolbars). The font, text alignment, highlight color, icons, and animation are all non-standard. Of course, it doesn't obey the system accessibility settings, either.

- Tree controls (e.g., in the History window) are non-standard, and standard keyboard shortcuts don't work here, either.

- It uses a (custom, of course) pop-over as an upgrade notification, which can't be dismissed by clicking outside them. Or dismissed permanently, like normal notifications.

The whole reason I use a Mac is for consistency. That's been its primary benefit since 1984. Instead of learning 10 completely different different programs, I just have to learn the common parts once. (Remember those keyboard overlays for the IBM PC we used so we didn't have to memorize which F-key meant "Save" in each different program?) In Firefox, everything is custom, and works differently than other apps. The keyboard, mouse, display, menus, windows, and controls are all weird. If I were OK with that, I'd switch back to Linux.

Nobody has mentioned StartPage.com. I believe that uses Google Search in the background, while not sending your personal data or returning a bunch of advertising garbage.
Is it time for the blue team to rediscover libertarianism yet? I do miss that aspect of the Bush II years. The general concept you're looking for here is "states' rights".

I don't see what legal basis the EPA would have to nullify emissions standards of the individual states for cars registered there. But I also think Wickard v Filburn was a crock of power-agglomerating bullshit.

Hypothetically, could the federal government declare murder legal and preempt state laws because they disrupt the commerce of contract killing?
Search Quality is so hard, it's hard to make everyone happy. Wish every Search engine had an easy to use personal option (IoC).

Not that I defend Google by any means, but it's hard to get everything right with a system like this.
