A lot of people are talking about this but no one will do anything about it.

It's fun to get outraged and all. But how do we actually change it?

This is one reason I actually really like code camps. I got my bachelor's kicking and screaming because I knew most of the stuff I was learning was completely irrelevant. These code camps cut right through all the bullshit. In fact nowadays maybe you would question the intelligence of somebody who got a four-year degree to become a programmer?

No, I can read the source code. I'd be 100% fine if they advertised people to run `curl xyz; nano xyz; python3 xyz`. The stupid&dangerous part is `|python3`. It allows people to run arbitrary code in your machine.
I know it affects everyone differently, but I was prescribed Adderall for ADHD and at 30mg my heartrate was elevated by 25bpm, I didn't feel tired for ~28 hours and I was unable to drive because my brain would get convinced that I was standing still and the road was moving towards me.

I didn't take it a second time, and am now on Focalin.
Exactly, if I were going to put an ad for a babysitter, probably looking to get a highschooler who has some free time and needs some spending money, I'm not hoping the car mechanic who got laid off and is looking to pay rent gets to see that ad.

Likewise if I were to want help in taxidermying a cat, I'm not wanting the butcher or the baxter seeing the ad as well. I only want the taxidermist.
Is there anywhere to download this library in bulk? I've always wanted a copy of the BBC sound library on my hard drive

Lots of schools that are hard to get into try to make it (relatively!) easy to graduate. The average GPA at Harvard is like 3.7. I do wonder if part of it is to prevent students that were really successful in high school from having imposter syndrome when they don't get straight As in college.
Is there a particular feature that this requires to work? Using Firefox so wondering what version I might expect to be able to use this.
Well you don't take out a loan for an entire education on day 1 so I'm not sure just 18 is when $70k happened.

But if they aren't capable of making such a decision, do we want to go down the road of saying they can't take out a loan?
Is there a way to convert PDFs to Kindle format though ? I'd love to have research papers on kindle.
Unfortunately, that article isn't surprising at all
Apple Maps does this too. Or it'll show the street names in tiny, tiny font and then keep the tiny font when you zoom in. "Hello, I'm zooming because I can't read the font, you arseholes!" (although I will grant it's impossible to distinguish between "can't read font" and "need more detail" zooms but still.)

I didn't want to get into what your motivations may be, but I alluded to this: Now, if no one is picking up trash and you want it picked up, then by all means go pick it up.

The idea was that you might be doing it yourself because, in that case, your surroundings being clean and beautiful is something you desire.

> ... we should share what we have in order to become less narrow and frightened and lonely and self-centered people

Wallace's view of humanity is self-serving and awful. He's a noble savior, the poor people are helpless without their saviors, and everyone else is frightened, lonely, self-centered, etc.

A better approach is one founded in gratitude, wherein charity is merely one form of expression of gratitude.
There's no sample code, even on that page. It's difficult to see what this looks like.
please see the comment below: "Important: at this point the examples are intended for desktop browsers. Mobile support is on my todo list, but will take some time."
I think you are dramatically underestimating the cost of a dependency.

The dependency may change in surprising ways in the future. The dependency may not change in expected ways in the future. (ie, now you're trapped in an old version of the language, or another one of your dependencies)

The problematic part with reinventing the wheel or NIH is that you add a fixed cost of doing business to any given change. The problem with importing the world is that you add a dynamic cost to simply existing without change.

It's a tradeoff, and it's not a tradeoff that's consistent across organizations. For some orgs it's really important to be first to market. In other orgs it's important to not break shit for your existing customers.

My org is well established in our field. Nothing matters more than retaining our existing customers. Importing a new lib requires approval from legal, which requires about a personweek. In other words, if one developer could implement the same thing in less than 40 hours, the developer should implement it themself. For us, a slow moving org, I think we're at the right place. For a startup, obviously not.
2018 was third-deadliest of the decade on American roads, NHTSA says
I stopped buying books when I realized that I don’t really read most of them (blame short attention span). So I pirate a lot of books, which also, for the most part, remain unread. If I read a book and really like it, then I’d look at buying a DRM free ebook copy of it. I also buy ebooks when they’re on sale at a low price.
Thank you for the comment!
I totally get what you and other threads are trying to say and I don't disagree with what you are saying.

I probably should have cleared this out in my original post (my bad) that I do not wish to pursue the legal route. I personally feel that in my case, it will just drain everyone's energy for not much gain at the end. Also, personal relationships matter to me as well.

I'm trying to find ways to get compensated for the time and effort I've put into it.
If not financially, then in some other forms. But I don't have any ideas.
I disagree. If you make an API Gateway responsible for that concern then it's the only thing that needs to maintain state. The blacklist itself probably kept in something like Redis and the API Gateway just checks against it. Then all downstream services get the benefit of JWT in a "stateless" fashion as advertised. That is, none of the downstream services know or care about any state. They get a request with a JWT and if it has the right claims, it services the request.
Actually, J.D. can be the one to organize software developers into a em.. guild: an organization with membership fees, staff lawyers, accountants and all that. The organization could start with the non-compete agreements nonsense. He's surely a controversial figure, but that only makes him more visible, and he has personal reasons to start such an organization. With the 250/month fee you only need 150 members to get the ball rolling. The memberships need to be sufficiently obscured and Damore has the suitable background to get the anonymity right. One idea is to use the DBAs - name aliases that can be registered with your company to hide your identity. Every member would be an LLC, but I'm sure software devs have money and ability to overcome this minor obstacle.

Wow, 5 posts attacking Google in the HN top right before Christmas. That can't be a coincidence. Someone with money clearly has personal issues with Google, but I don't see what this is to do with Christmas. P.S. I'm not defending Google as it's indeed done some questionable things, but 5 posts at the same time is really rare event.

This subject touches on a lot of things tangential to a lot of words like world wide problems. Many things wrong in the online work seem systemic and tend to magnify our IRL problems.

Is anyone out there creative enough to step outside the box enough to even envision a system that can support our current economic environment, let alone see a way to get this ship on that course before it's sunk?
I wonder whether they also looked at body size. Larger species tend to live longer, so it could just be that their regions are just associated with growth.
Na, you were fine, sorry if I came across adversarial. I just thought commenting here was an okay place to put my rant.
So you're preferring the form of manipulation that works best on you?

I'd prefer not to be manipulated at all.

In fact I loathe the feeling of being manipulated so much that it extends to all but the least obnoxious brands that try to advertise to me.

I can't be the only one who is allergic to advertising that tries to appropriate things from my social groups or background to sell me their shitty mobile data plan, insurance, or phone.

The most recent example is some random phone company trying to sell me their data plan with some shitty pun on "cum laude" on posters at university. Ugh.

Four years from date of enrollment, with negligible earnings, counts for a lot.
I have Safari, and find it to be a poor value. Here are a few reasons

(1) you can't read books in your browser while offline
(2) many publishers don't contribute to Safari (Springer, MIT Press, etc)
(3) publishers that are technically on Safari don't publish their whole catalog (Wiley)
(4) Publishers that are on Safari, and do publish their whole catalog, may take months, a year even to put their books online (Wrox). (5) A lot of the books in the catalog are from Packt, which I consider noise.

So, while I do have Safari, I use it as a last resort and buy the DRM-free PDFs from publishers that have then (Manning, Prag Prog, etc) even if they are in Safari.

This past week, my account got corrupted. I lost about one years worth of Playlists that I put much effort into curating. All gone. Support was able to get me a CSV file of a known good state, but its going to be a PITA to manually recreate everything again. I might not bother.
I worked at a place which had local server in-memory cache talking to local Redis cache talking to shared Redis cache talking to MySQL session tables and the traffic to the actual session tables was still heavy enough that they had to sit on their own DB cluster. Switching to signed session cookies encoding a few bits of information (or JWTs if you prefer a mad complicated outsourcing) would have been a huge win on that point.
That article is so clearly biased, why is this front page? The author clearly is trying to grind their axe, instead of reporting news in a matter of fact way. First of, the headline claims Bloomberg the company laid off half the staff, while in the following sentence saying that it's actually the Atlantic who's doing the firing. But that's not done before putting a picture of Bloomberg the candidate, first, to make sure the headline and the picture are what strikes people's imagination.

Rather disgusting.

You never know if the review you're reading is genuine or paid content, especially when it's part of one of those top 10 <product type> of <year>.

All I want to know is what to expect. Will this item break on me after X years/uses, or should I expect it to last longer? Am I paying for the brand/design, or durability?

Personally, I'm trying to cut down on the stuff I buy and discard, and a large part of that is buying quality items that last. In the past, I could expect that paying more means I'll get a more durable product, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore, especially when I've purchased name brand items that break far more quickly than off brand items.

I just wish we had a better way of signaling the trade-off between durability and aesthetics.

I think anyone can memorize 32 character passwords every 6 months if one uses some scheme. I usually use long phrases from books: a phrase that means something to me is easy to remember and even if I forget it, it's easy to look it up. Such passwords can be arbitrarily long.
> If he had that kind of money he'd be talking to a lawyer not us.

He, and you, may not know that you do not always need money up front to engage the services of a lawyer. Many lawyers extend credit to their clients or allow clients to condition their fee on a successful outcome (a contingent fee). Depending on the desired outcome in this case, such an arrangement may be easy. For example, if OP wants to arrange a sale of the IP to his employer, then the lawyer’s fee could be paid from the proceeds. Some lawyers also take credit cards.

Also, an initial consultation to decide if OP wants to hire a lawyer shouldn’t cost anything. OP won’t get any free advice, but he should get an idea of how a lawyer could help in his situation.
They could surely fork it and take it from there. They would rather want that they own the code-base so that their enterprise customers can be assured that it is a product that they control and own.

My product, unintentionally, solves a lot of problems for the enterprise product that my company sells.
It's a really cool idea. Where is this currently being used, and what motivated you to develop it?
The aim of AI is intelligence, not human intelligence. It's not to emulate a process; it's to solve problems.

If we do build AI, maybe we'll never know if it's conscious. You can't know whether any other human is conscious, either. But you can know whether they make you laugh, or cry, or learn, or love. The knowable things are good enough.

This title just wants me to still throw a useless stone in an already lost battle: "book piracy" used to mean "Steal a book content and sell it putting you as the author". That's the original meaning of the word.

Copyright-infriging a book does not sound as serious as "piracy" or "theft" but these two words are actually misused.
What if you store passwords for non-ssl sites in your password manager? I have passwords for some really old mailing lists that don't use SSL and had a big warning that they're completely insecure on the page. I especially don't want to use a shared password if it has a decent chance of being compromised, but if I cared if that account got compromised I wouldn't have set it up.
99.9% of tech was developed within about the last 3-4 generations, no?

Maybe arguably not true for scientific progress.
That actually sounds pretty secure, if the computer had a reasonable password and FDE you've just implemented a hacky password manager. Even without FDE you're better than anyone who writes it down on a sticky or uses something trivial.

Unless they're using Excel functions to generate password{n++} . That'd be clever and yet horrid at the same time.

React batches updates that were queued from within its own event handlers. So, if you had:

setA(1)
setB(2)
setC(3)

in a single click handler, there would be a single render, and a single call to the `useMemo()` callback.

On the other hand, if the state setters were called outside of a React event handler (such as a `setTimeout` or somewhere in an async function), each of those would cause a separate render pass, and the `useMemo` callback would end up being called 3 times.

Note that in the upcoming Concurrent Mode, React will batch updates across event ticks by default.

Feedback is most helpful when directed to the appropriate, actionable context.
It used to be. There are now far more pharmacists than jobs so their wages and quality of life at work are plummeting. Read basically any thread at pharmacy subreddit or sdnforum. They barely start out at $80k to $100k, with over $200k of debt, terrible work hours and scheduling, and no future increases in income or job security (actually decreases).

The excess of pharmacy schools looking to make an easy buck on tuition also makes it so they let anyone into pharmacy school. There is literally no entry exam or requirement to get in other than ability to pay, i.e. take on taxpayer funded student loans.

The whole business itself got squeezed by the handful of large health insurers left, who control the money, such that even grocery stores are shutting down their pharmacies.
Seems like coastal real estate is fucked either way.
Thing is, it doesn't really matter what you "allow". There's no way to enforce it for these kinds of uses. A blanket ban can put it outside of purview of your average mildly curious common person for purposes like, say, buying recreational drugs. But if they have seriously decided that they want to murder someone, they'll find out how to make that payment - and you can't meaningfully trace that short of full online Panopticon (all connections wiretapped 24/7, all Internet access tied to secure real name ID).

There's a lot more coming. 3D printers similarly enable access to stuff that a lot of people would like to get banned, such as firearms and accessories to them. For example, it is already possible to 3D-print a high-capacity Glock magazine completely from scratch (the only metal part is the spring, and even that is bent to shape out of a suitable steel wire using a 3D-printed jig). And it costs about $200 one-off for the printer, and <$1 per magazine thereafter. There are already laws that make doing this illegal in some locations, but again - how do you actually enforce them?

Our societies will have to either go high-tech totalitarian, or learn to live with these possibilities. I hope it's going to be the latter; after all, past societies - before the growth of administrative state with its IDs, registries, accounting, and pervasive bureaucracy - already had to deal with a situation where it was very hard to track a determined criminal. But looking at the evolution of surveillance and police power laws in modern developed democracies and China, it's probably going to be the former.
You don't have to store them purely in-process. The session data itself can live in Redis. You can scale sessions beyond a single web server.
That's too bad. I really like Citylab, and having half the employees is still better than none, but is overall far from good.

One of the recent HN postings from CityLab was authored by Brooks Rainwater, who works for the National League of Cities in their Center for City Solutions. https://www.nlc.org/program-initiative/center-for-city-solut...

Could natural language processing and machine learning feasibly identify who wrote the source code for dark web websites?
Unfortunately, I find I do the exact opposite naturally.

Bigger ticket items are a pain, but they also don't have as much variety, so I'm more motivated to get it over with and choose between my available options fairly quickly (buying house, car, etc). I'm also more likely to be able to adapt the more expensive items to my needs.

However, smaller purchases tend to have far more options and searching more will nearly always turn up even more. Smaller items are also difficult to adapt, and I really don't like to add more to the landfill than necessary, so I worry quite a bit over these smaller purchases.

> facebook ad to hire for a bricklaying job

That's a straw man. The situation of concern is failing to advertise high value or high status products and opportunities to people who would be disadvantaged. So to stay with your analogy, if you have a job to hire a React developer (a job which is right around 90% male), but you don't show it to someone because their browsing history includes Pinterest but not Reddit, then you're discriminating. And that's a problem worth worrying about and trying to address. Likewise ads for vacation timeshares that go to Taylor Swift fans but not to Diddy afficionados.

Yes, it's possible that there may be some collateral damage in the bricklaying recruiting industry. And, sure, maybe that's something that needs some regulatory relief. But mostly I think you're just looking for an example here.
