With Rmarkdown you have 2 options, both have its own merits

1. save code and output separately, so you can save the output (but not comparing the output versions), or always generate output from scratch when needed (this actually help to ensure reproducibility)

2. or you can use R notebook format, which save the result with document together, in some companion folders.
You missed the point completely.

The point is: There's nothing wrong with being off target in these failure tests, and it's normal what happened in both cases.

> All the most common US ISPs are there… AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, CenturyLink. IPs from Charter Communications in their Midwest, Texas, Pacwest and Northeast regions. ISPs I’ve never heard of before… who the heck is Delcom? Turns out they are serving some rural communities in Texas. Did NordVPN buy servers or connectivity from them?

I've been seeing a ton of these guys' advertising lately. If it turns out they're also reselling your bandwidth?

Still, I'd like to see someone take a peek at their local client traffic for any suspicious activity before coming to any conclusion.

Edit: I guess allegedly the 'botnet' aspect is provided not by other NordVPN users but by malware provided by companies associated with NordVPN.

I've always been a bit disappointed in the weapons available far into the future. I tried watching one series and the opening scene involved good guys shooting at bad guys and hiding behind boulders and such. It just looked so much like the conflict sequence in High Noon. I couldn't watch further. And they still suffered from the "good guy bullets" vs. "bad guy bullets" phenomenon. A good guy can run unscathed (or with superficial wounds, at worst) through a hail of "bad guy bullets." Then they turn and fire three "good guy bullets" and five bad guys drop.
Even my current favorite "The Expanse" has a lot of human aimed weapons. I expect that in the future that any weapons that fire a projectile would have an aiming system that would put the projectile dead on the target unless the target can take evasive action once a ballistic projectile is in flight.
But really, I'd expect projectiles to be replaced by directed energy weapons by then. Maybe Star Trek gets that right with Phasors. Do Phasors ever miss? (Check that - should be Phasers. Phasors are weapons used by college math and physics professors.)

Seriously creepy stuff. I hate how VPNs are being shilled by e-celebs these days as a privacy improvement.

It’s just using a different middleman. One middleman might be better than another, but if you have a good ISP already, there’s no privacy/security benefits to be had by using a VPN when surfing from home.

It might be worth getting a VPN if you use sketchy WiFi often, or want to bypass geo-blocking or restrictive firewalls. But remember that you’re trusting the VPN provider with all your traffic. DNS is still not encrypted in most browsers, so this traffic is still a goldmine of marketable info. Sure, they can’t see what you post on snapstagram.com or what pages you visit on news.ycombinator.com, but they can infer a lot about your browsing habits from DNS queries.

I used it in the context of Linux kernel development to model/verify various algorithms. I gave a presentation last year at Linux Plumbers:

http://procode.org/FormalMethodsPlumbers2018.pdf

Slides 4 and 28 list actual bugs found by such modelling.

I do find TLA+ (or formal modelling in general) pretty useful for real world cases, only that, unfortunately, I don't always have the time.
I looked in to this and at least for large sizes as of earlier this year, commercial displays aren't practical. The premium isn't 10% or 20% (which I'd gladly pay to omit "features" that disclose data to third parties), it's $2000-$5000 (60%-150%).

Also, for that massive premium, commercial displays often don't include HDR, HDMI features (CEC, ARC), and sometimes even 4k. They aren't a realistic solution.

Hey guys,

So my friend (an avid cuber) and myself spent the last 7 months trying to perfect a game that captures the feeling and difficulty of solving a Rubik’s cube.

In short - we’ve searched for a mobile game that captures everything that we love about real-world twisty puzzles. All we found were either 3D recreations that were cumbersome to use or 2D puzzles that are too simple. (If you want to read more on why we did it, you can read the whole story here: http://www.eclidus.com/our-story.html)

So in the end we made a completely new puzzle that is optimized for touchscreens but tries to keep all of the properties of the real thing.
We discovered that we really like to play and replay it, so we put in the work, worked a ton on the design, animations and sound and made it available on Android and iOS.

We opted for a premium model (you pay $1.99 once and that’s it) instead of relying on ads because I thought it really should have a clean design allowing you to focus on the task.

We plan on adding more puzzle variants and features (such as a timer and/or a leaderboard) but we first want to see if there is an audience for this.

Anyway, it’s called Eclidus and the website is linked in the original post - so please let me know what you think of the game and the business model. :)

(Note for cubers: It’s somewhere between the Pyraminx and the classic cube in terms of difficulty.)

It would cause a massive wave of something. The more I think about it, the more insane this idea sounds. If I'm renting and my landlord's costs double, is she going to double my rent? Even if you eased in the tax at something like 0.5% per year, this seems like it would result in an absolute bloodbath in which renters and mortgage holders get wiped out and the lucky few with large cash reserves and no property-backed debt buy up all the land at fire sale prices.
Technical clarification: We don't "generate" Vue.js components. Matestack generates HTML that contains component tags. Those tags reference existing Vue.js components and hand over some configuration.

This enables us/you to define interactive UI behavior by just configuring predefined Vue.js components in pure Ruby.

If one needs custom UI behavior here and there, just add your own Vue.js components (write some lines of JavaScript) and then add and controll them like you do with the predefined dynamic (=Vue.js) core components. this approach is much easier than creating a standalone JS frontend app. You might end up writing 90-99% Ruby and just some lines of JS while getting an interactive, dynamic UI (or even a PWA if you add some meta information).
Rtings pretty comprehensively catalogs and reviews mid and high end TVs. The only TV released in the last two years without WiFi or associated smart functionality is a pretty mediocre 49" TCL. While you can certainly still get smaller 1080p TVs without smarts, you shouldn't have to choose between getting a decent size and panel quality or not having a beefy OS built in.
So could getting hit by a drunk driver.

There was a case with a 14 year old girl here in Denmark who got hit and murdered by an ex teacher of hers who was super drunk and crashed into her in an intersection -- the impact was so bad it basically blew the bike a part.

And it is the most stupid crime possible to commit, since the upside is so small and the downside so huge.

Personally I would support an instant death penalty for drunk driving if I didn't think it would be abused, so yeah I am okay with somebody not being able to support themselves after murdering a 14 year old girl. I hope the starve themselves to death on the street.
Maybe it is time for you to have your own team?

- you have relationship to founder

- you delivered results

- there is more work than you can do

- other team lead has different priorities and handling things more loosely coupled would decrease friction and allow for a sharper customer focus (or similar sales pitch)
>I understand that culture counts for a lot, but modern organisational cultures are getting complaints that "leadership" is not going to solve at scale.

I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with you - on the one hand, this statement seems wrong, but on the other hand, everything else you said makes a ton of sense to me.

Everyone seems so caught up by culture these days that they forget the other big part of the leadership battle: process. Nobody on HN likes to hear it. It's unsexy, and, to a creative type (like a designer, PM, or, to some extent, SW engineer), threatening.

At the end of the day, though, people don't scale. Processes do. I believe good leadership has a lot to do with setting up good processes.

Edit: maybe I'm wrong, but tons of companies humbleblog on HN about their brilliant cultures. Very few of them open the kimono on their processes. Largely, I think, because those are what really make their businesses money.
> If it turns out they're also reselling your bandwidth?

Monetizing your free app through selling traffic is nothing new and there's a bunch of companies doing just that. You drop their SDK into your mobile app, they give you money and in return they get their very own "botnet".
Wait, no, its fine. You have to go to the Web Developer tools, then settings, and then turn it on via the check box.

> I just don't get the seemingly recurring obsession with artificially limiting growth.

At a basic level, it's a cognitive bias regarding economics, the idea of ultimate scarcity: a pie that's forever limited in size and that we all must share (opposite of a view of "abundance"). It however contradicts most of our experience of economics; throughout history champions of "abundance" (who dare to create it) are known as great kings and merchants and soldiers and religious figures. Facts are much less favorable to proponents of scarcity — such mindsets usually lead to economic crisis, under-development, stagnation.

The scarcity view here would move that Earth is already saturated, no more room for anything / anyone, and thus we must all reduce our hopes and start sharing what little is there. Obviously, this is scientifically and economically absolutely wrong, the problem is more about distribution — the Earth is the kind of planet that can sustain 1,000 times more population, and that's low-balling it in terms of thermodynamics. It really is more a problem of energetic efficiency and now externalities (space industry to the rescue).

On a cultural level, technology and development seem to map on a spectrum of perceptions ranging from "technological utopists" to "luddites" (believers in a technological doom). Both extremes are unlikely so most people/cultures fall in-between, around the center usually.

It seems, again from history, from literature, that the best kind of development stems from a culture 'rather slightly positively biased towards technology' (with limits and caveats, what we could call a 'problem-solution driven society'). This was basically the bedrock of innovating Damascus around 1200, of innovating China (key moments throughout the last millennium), and of the scientific revolution in Europe, as well as 20th/21st century tech centers in America and Asia.

My problem with anti-growth beliefs and scarcity proponents is they usually stop short of describing the whole picture, what implementing it actually does to populations, what economic slowdown or depression mean in real-felt terms for real-people. In my mind it's just as dangerous as saying "oh let's build a fascist state because that will be better to solve our problems, that's a risk worth taking!" On paper, maaaaaaybe, you might think that, as a thought experiment; in real life it just never worked. Never. That cure has always been worse than the disease. True for fascism, true for economic shrinking (and there's no "minimizing" growth, the minute you stop aiming for growth which isn't easy nor granted by the way, you find yourself in a world of depressed indicators and it becomes uncontrollable).

Sometimes I feel like people don't realize that piloting a global economy is more like dog fighting or F1, it's not a walk in the park that we are free to take casually and amend to our liking — "oh, let's take this nice little path here!". No, it's hard, and when we fail too much, people die. It's not a toy to play with, it's a freaking hard tension between survival and progress. Idealism is very dangerous when met with complacency.

Doubt it’s an SOIC. More likely a 40 or 48 pin TSOP or the like.

But if it was an SOIC... just lift the power pin, power the chip externally and find some other points to tap into the clock and data lines and dump away. Then solder the legs of the new one on one side and connect VCC on the other side.
Apple’s behaviour is irrelevant in this instance. It has nothing to do with the situation being discussed.

Your second paragraph, while containing the seed of facts, is total hyperbole. It certainly isn’t worse than refusing to acknowledge anything was wrong and then refusing to pay for the repairs! This is precisely what NVidia did. At least Apple repaired the keyboards!

Your last paragraph is the usual trite rhetoric to anything that can be deemed ‘pro Apple’. Both items have been addressed by Apple (https://www.apple.com/uk/supplier-responsibility/) albeit after pressure, and they are continuing to apply pressure and drop suppliers that don’t meet their requirements.
No smoking gun, sure, but some very suspicious traffic patterns. How is NordVPN getting traffic routed through so many different ISPs who generally only serve residential customers?

Hard to imagine that so many ISPs are agreeing to help NordVPN bypass geo-blocking. Pretty certain that there’s some kind of shenanigans going on.

I honestly don't know what you might be thinking of Chrome doing that 'enables' AMP. If you said Google Search enabled AMP, by only allowing AMP documents in the carousel for example, I would agree. But I can't think of any Chrome-specific features that AMP depends on, and I believe Google (and Bing) currently serve AMP to Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.

Here in Denmark it now cost a point on your license, as well as about 200 or 300 dollars in a fine. Depending on when you got your license, 2 or 3 points within 3 years will earn you a new driving test (which, unlike in the US, is really though to pass).

Arguably you should forfeit your license on the first offense, but at least this is better than the old rule.

Oxylabs introduces reasonable doubt for every possible allegation of cybercrime! “It wasn’t me; it was this botnet malware routing through my computer without my knowledge!” It’s like having a Tor exit node on your computer, without the associated mens rea that would come from the explicit choice to install one!
