Heh, would not go over well. Now that we have JIRA, tickets are not just watched by my boss, but my bosses boss, my bosses bosses boss, and a few dedicated project managers of some kind.
I love this idea, though I'm not sure I want my password manager executing arbitrary regexes it finds on the Internet.
There's even a warning about this in effictive Java. Glad I read that.
I can get the repo cloned, but nothing builds automatically. Specifically, when I click the "run on repl.it" badge, a repl.it command line appears with the cloned repo, but the run command from the .replit file is not invoked. I can type the command manually and then everything works.

I tried the first three examples (ascii_racer, minesweeper, ddgr) on both Safari (with ad blocker) and Chrome (no ad blocker). I do not have a repl.it account, so I am not logged into anything.

Overall this feature looks very impressive.
Such organization is begging for a quickly written code full of bugs. Then you do some overtime fixing it, and you are a hero for a moment. But before you get promoted, you get sick because your body cannot handle all that stress anymore.

Sometimes you learn to play around the rules. For example, if you are required to report your progress every day (and "sharpening the axe" is frowned upon), a possible solution is to report on Friday morning only half of what you did yesterday, and keep the rest for the Monday report.
What would you suggest instead of an empty array for a 0 item return?
>Android email clients besides Google mail are awful

I still use K-9 Mail to handle my non-gmail accounts. I find it very usable with how it threads my work emails.

Although from what I understand its not actively developed anymore and the last post I see on the playstore says Sept 2018. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them, especially if they are available via F-Droid.
How is that similar to Rodney Dangerfield? I’m not very familiar with him, so I missed the analogy.
>I m surprised every time i see people here asking for the evil that is censorship.

I'm sadly not surprised. While HN does attract hobbyists like me interested in technology and how it affects society, it also attracts a lot of those who dream of building and controlling the next big data silo for personal profit. Permanently liberating an entire mode of communication into an uncensorable distributed system that can't be easily replaced due to the network effect (such as your example of email) precludes that path to profit.
I like the idea of a tiered approach so that this could be bolted on to legacy systems where necessary.

Website wide obviously being over-ruled by local over-rides.

I love the work that the ACLU does, but they've always been picking and choosing which rights to actively support. See the opinion of the 2nd amendment on their own website: https://www.aclu.org/other/second-amendment

I personally don't hold the constitution as a sacred document, though I do find that it aligns with my ideals more than the actual policies of modern America. I could respect an organization being opposed to an amendment and deciding not to defend it for that reason, but it's always been weird to me that they have to hide behind a legal rationale rather than just admitting their political opposition to individual gun rights.

I still love the ACLU, and in the past I've given them time (passing out flyers, IANAL) and money despite these reservations. I'm really not trying to hate on them, but I would consider them "off the tracks" in this regard.
Yeah, you can compile it yourself and load it if the source had been available…
Well this is interesting, I recently spent a weekend creating a 'splicing compiler', which could take a typescript project split up into features, where a feature was written in just one single typescript file. Each section of code could then specify new 'code hooks', for future code to insert itself at during compilation.

My original inspiration was that English language is spoken sequentially, but ends up in a graph database (i.e. the brain's neural network). So you'd write code like a thesis, and the hooks you specify would allow the splicer to form the code graph.

In theory it seemed like it would be useful, so I built Pacman with it and, well, it didn't really work in practice! Things ended up being more abstract in the end, and I'd be mentally juggling where hooks were created and what the final code would look like. Even showing the code output to the right wasn't that helpful, as the way the code was spliced together put things in not the most readable order.

Additionally how to split up the code wasn't the most obvious, i.e. when should a hook be added? It often felt I'd only know after writing the code in full. At which point it just felt like extra work. I'd often find myself to be inserting code all over the place to get something working, and so the refactoring needed at the end became overwhelming. Ultimately these reasons lead me to abandon the idea.
> which is essentially what traffic is

No, not at all. Traffic is quite compressible, it just slows down when you do that. Which is the issue here.
There are other free email providers that snoop far less than Google does. VFEmail has a $25 lifetime option, payable with cards or Bitcoin.
I really really liked squirrelmail when my host used it. It wasn't perfect but had lots of plugins and was light and fast, and was open source. It was ugly though, and had a few bugs.

Then my host pushed, despite objections from the community, atmail, a proprietary gmail-alike webmail interface. It is even more buggy, and slow as hell, but hey, at least it looks "cool".
I didn't downvote you but I do strongly disagree with pretty much everything you've said.

> There is absolutely no need for me to have an API available to them, they’ve never asked for it and have no desire or ability to consume it.

Whenever I've used "small b2b apps," especially between non-technical businesses, if you don't have it I'm not asking for it. I know how hard it is to be a solo founder or part of a very small team so I'm either going to use your product as-is, or I'm not going to use it.

> API[s]...need customer support

There are plenty of small, niche APIs where there is out-dated documentation and not much else. I'm saying that's a great experience, but let's not pretend it's illegal to have an API without on-demand live support.

> And I don’t really want random joes signing up for my API...

The reasons listed here can all be handled via code. There are very few reasons to prevent automated sign-ups.

> The better suggestion is to analyze your business and decide if offering an API furthers your businesses’ goals.

If you think it can't, you're just not being creative enough. Every single API with more than 2 users is being used in ways its designers hadn't originally thought of. Many brains are better than one brain and you can often get more (and better) ideas from what other people are doing with your tech than you ever could on your own.

"Appointed imperial legate to Bithynia, in what is now northern Turkey, Pliny was taken aback by how many Christians were there" and decided to "eradicate them or make them recant" but Trajan (the Roman emperor) "counseled moderation."

Bithynia was a significant part of what's today Turkey:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/1stMithr...

For a time reference Pliny the younger died around 113 CE (second century).

Eventually, whole 18 centuries later, most of the Christians in Turkey were "cleaned" at end of 19th and the first part of 20th century:

“Three Turkish regimes were involved, from the Ottoman Empire to Ataturk’s republic.”

“Our conclusion that between 1.5 and 2.5 million Christians were murdered, from 1894 to 1924, is a cautious estimate,” Morris says.

The person you replied to doesn't like returning "null". He/she would probably prefer returning an array that contains 0 items.
I will say that most of the time, when you want to pull out the intrinsics, you really want to use the autovectorizer instead and "restrict" will get you everything you want.

The main use cases for vector intrinsics, in my opinion, are when you are doing something clever shuffling the vectors around or packing / unpacking them. If you’re not being especially clever, just let the compiler do the heavy lifting and make it happen by putting "restrict" in a couple places.

If you are being especially clever, at least give the compiler a shot and benchmark the different versions against each other.
> This will turn off all the security features that have been added over the years, including the “Catalina Vista” prompts people were complaining about in September.

I installed it back in June, so my memory might be a bit hazy, but as far as I’m aware SIP doesn’t control TCC.
I completely disagree on first note, mostly because it's almost all JavaScript. There's very little "React" there.

On the second note it's copy-pasted code from the official Vue docs.
I don't think they were arguing not to charge, I think they were arguing a) not to charge an obscene amount, and b) not to charge individually for every little thing someone might like to do (e.g. have a couple tiers but not full-blown a la carte pricing).

Hey everyone!

My friend Luke and I made friend flights to help you find cheap tickets to meet up with friends.

For example, if you're in SF and your friend is in NYC, you'll get cheap fare alerts for flights to Guatemala, China, etc.

We do this by finding cheap flight deals across the web, and are working on integrating more standard flight price data sources as well.

This is definitely a v1, with a lot of the work right now being us emailing out flight deals to people. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see from this, if you have any questions, or if you have any feedback -- especially if you happen to know a lot about flight prices :)
>>> phonon coupling across a vacuum

Massive. Quantum fluctuations of vacuum energy seem to hint that the structure of spacetime holds within it the "potential" for particles to exist. And that alone is enough for them to eventually come into being, given long enough time scales.

>>> paves the way for the exploitation of quantum vacuum in energy transport at the nanoscale

I think that exploitation is very much still theoretical. But the estimated "payout" of, say, having programmatic control over radioactive decay is infinite.

Devices that can actually interact and measure properties of quantum vacuum seem to be an excellent starting point ;)

The signalling piece is what's missing and what I think I've solved. My exact proposed alternative will just have to get launched and see if it flies.

Global competition for most jobs is very much a reality. I live in a country that spans an entire continent, as do americans. Many people cross continents and borders to get construction and trade jobs, which include driving heavy vehicles and hanging drywall, and the solution covers them as well. Exciting times.
Any smart, ethical police department would go for a warrant. I'm friends with someone in law enforcement and they say the last thing they want is evidence tossed. Often they get warrants they don't even need just so there isn't a chance of having evidence tossed later.
Hm - maybe “fun” isn’t the right word, but I do find it mostly relaxing and pleasant to work through one as long as I’m not under any time pressure. I enjoyed TAOCP, for example, but I’ve definitely tried to read other books that I ended up giving up on, too.
Care to elaborate more on this?

The problem is that the OP presents opinions and specific _suboptimal_ ways of doing things in such a way as to discourage the student from questioning them (by omitting mention of alternatives, and treating cargo-cult patterns as if they were foundational principles or axioms.) The danger of learning from this kind of opaquely opinionated resource is that it fosters incuriosity; its students are more likely to discount or ignore other paths when they recognize "violations" of said [false] "principles". It'd be different if the materials were presented as a snapshot of one person's shortcuts, hacks and rules of thumb -- but that's not at all how it comes across. Hence my complaint and warnings.

It’s inconsistent and means I need to write special case code to check for it, when before I could choose to. It should return an empty array.

I work for a company that owns a website containing information that in my opinion is valuable to the public. The website may go offline forever in the coming months. How can I get in touch with the Archive, to ensure that the content is saved? Parts of the content are not easy to index (e.g. there are "hidden" pages that you will only find if you have the exact URL), I can assist with that.
The ACLU.

edit: to be clear, I think the government itself could really do with reeling it back a bit as well - but this very news is a reminder that some people are watching out for the watched.

How would you compare Dart to Kotlin, in both typing system and functional programming support?
Interesting. Seems like you're an engineer, how would you learn new technology in practice?

The website aims to provide a list of projects for people to learn these skills (like uploading a file to AWS).
IMHO jobs and economy are secondary. University is first and foremost about having educated citizens. And you can't do that in school because you need the freedom of not being forced to go to class and freedom from your parents too.

And in a lot of jobs, you don't need much more than some core knowledge, and being independent enough that you can learn on your own - you can't teach a specific job at the university, that's what internships are for. Teaching jobs, (outside of technical schools), is the responsibility of the companies.

Note that the overwhelming majority of engineers, especially bridge ones in France don't come from the University system - but rather the élite ingénieur schools - maybe a bit like the US Ivy League ?
(There's the super-élite school literally called "Bridges and Roads")
Those get a disproportionate amount of funding, but aren't that relevant to the discussion, since they only teach a tiny minority of students (~5%).

I recently came upon an interview with Oliver Faron, administrator of one of these élite schools, which has a specific focus on education of people returning to superior education. They also have an especially good record with 20 times better results with technical (="low-quality") high school graduates than universities.

(I guess that extra funding and the self-selection of the most motivated students might have something to do with that ?)

And his dream is to have a mandatory year of university to replace the long-gone mandatory military service, so that the different social classes get to "live together" again ! (More than one year would probably make for diminishing results?) :

The debate around single-family houses
You have to read this book "Flip the script" by Oren Klaff. This book describes basically how you can make a sales script for your business like Jordan Belfort had during his cold-call telephone sale in the movie "The wolf of Wall Street".

It is a killer to read and will redefine how you look at sales in way that will come completely natural to you as introvert.

Agreed. Particularly in a city like Berlin where cars are worshiped and being pedestrian makes you a second-class citizen (Cars > Bikes > Pedestrian). Car free zones + speed limits will hopefully make the life better overthere for non-BMW owners.

Agreed. In fact, I don't know what people use Oh By codes for ... but they do, in fact, create them and even purchase them.

I will point out that it is difficult to "tell" someone a QR code over the phone ... or shout it to them ... or chalk one of them up on a wall, etc. Oh By codes solve this problem (to whatever degree this is a problem to someone).

This made me wonder,

Do spoofed callers appear on a capture device as the spoofed number?

If so, you could in theory use law to target anyone by calling their number using a spoofed number that is included on a surveillance order. Just keep calling the numbers you want to monitor and the net keeps getting bigger.

Please tell me this is not the case?
This article really made me think about the Google Ads API. Miserable to work with.
Presumably they would prefer an array always be returned. If zero items, an empty array; if one item, an array of length one; if more items, a longer array.
I love the distinction between incremental and transformative learning. Personally, I've experienced the most transformative learning through working with a coach - a 3rd party who offers the space for reflective engagement, new perspectives, and experimentation. Much of this is tough to do on our own because we get stuck in the same mindsets and patterns of behavior. A coach helps articulate what's going on in a new light, uncovers blindspots, and holds us accountable for taking action, ultimately fueling transformative learning.

(Side note: I'm on a mission to spread the power of coaching by making it easier to find the right coach: https://uplevel.coach/ Happy to chat with anyone interested in learning more!)
you'll never see a pack of benson and hedges and think of anything else again.
It’s not a problem per se, but then there’s no reason for anyone outside of Twitter to care about this.
sounds kinda weird. IC engine planes get more efficient with lower fuel (lower weight)whereas with Electric ones, you still have to carry the weight around with lower power.
By the way, this is the official SCRUM way. Product people should be there for planning and for demo. If at the end of the sprint they got what they wanted to get, they should be happy and do their own work... or relax if they have nothing else to do.

Micromanaging means you have nothing useful to do, and you are needlessly making other people angry. Such people should be fired first. (Yeah, I know, they are often the last ones to stay, because people who have better options leave first.)
PPX: Probabilistic Programming EXecution Protocol and API Based on Flatbuffers
If you return an empty array, I can always process the result by looping through the array.

If it's sometimes an array and sometimes null, I need branched logic for each call.
This makes sense now. If I did a GET to posts and got a "null", I would think I made some kind of error. If I get an empty array, I would (correctly) assume there are no posts yet.

Basically, GET to posts would always return an array of posts. Whether there are 0 (empty array), 1 (just one object in the array), or many (array with n length). This makes API logic way easier to handle without having to check what structure I received even with a 200 status code
