Framework and language complexity is just a cycle thing. Someone makes a new language/framework that's minimal, clean, and suited to what people need. Needs change, or people miss certain things, it gets bloated, and the cycle repeats.

Except for C and C++. C just gets better, C++ just keeps growing.

There is a post on HN right now about predictions for the next decade. My prediction would be Reddit dying/overtaken by another site in next 2-3 years.
So you pull a Telegram and create a good alternative to APN/Firebase.

I have to agree. There was so much I didn't know about lacing a hiking shoe but I must admit, that is the part of it that has been most useful outside of hiking shoes.
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE (based in CHINA and INDIA)

I am 20 years Devops / system administrator practitioner designing and building CI/CD pipeline, automation and configuration management having maged team and infrastructure of upto 5000 servers.
I move between CHINA and India and prefer remote / contract work with face to face meetings if required.

some highlights / work done in past
CI/CD pipeline development with Jenkins and saltstack for mostly jvm and nodejs apps
Elixir / Phoenix crm for supply chain management with vehicle tracking module.
xml data pipeline. golang about 80G xml files/day pumping data to mysql and solr
Managed 4000+ servers for (advertising industry) home grown python and cfengine.
account management for GE industrial systems (2000) perl script managing accounts in 10 different domains( pre AD days, NT, Lotus Notes, Antivirus, Cisco and mainframe)
If marginal services or businesses essentially /need/ to merge to survive it could improve things certainly, but in that case the extent suggested is usually slim to none since the alternative is foregone insolvency for both.
I'm so sorry you are being downvoted. The current enthusiasm for psychedelics is making it very difficult to talk publicly about all the dimensions of a highly nuanced topic.
Ive's absolute shit, his design aesthetic is imbecilic and he did nothing but damage the incredible advantages of Mach and NeXTStep. He was more of an inimical influence on Apple than Sculley. His followers are crazed and or ignorant cultists with zero design taste or sensibility.
Honestly it doesn’t matter. It came out in the Oracle trial that Google only made $23 billion in profit from Android from its inception to the start of the trial and t still has to pay Apple a reported $8 billion a year to be the default search engine for iOS.

Apple has made a lot more in mobile from Google than Google has made from Android.

For awhile, MS was making more in patent fees from Android OEMs than Google was making in licensing and advertising.

Losing mobile was the best thing that could happen to MS so it could focus on Azure and making Office ubiquitous- where the real money is.
your FAQ still says it's not production ready? Is this still the case, I've been keeping my eye on this project
I did try training a Pytorch BERT-derived model on TPUs (on Colab) and it didn't work out-of-the box. (Where didn't work=was using the CPU)

I didn't dig into it to find out why.

They built the chip specifically so that it can tolerate failures in some of the cores. I wonder if it can do that adaptation only once or if it can automatically detect it and route around it.

Psst, you're not allowed to peek on Twitter.
I can't imagine that this could have "just" worked (simply trilaterating using signal strength). If the laptops & kindle were in outer space, I'd believe it, but wifi signals indoor get attenuated by obstructions, curve around things, and bounce off of things. This is one reason wifi localization uses fingerprinting instead of trilateration.

I'm guessing OP primarily ended up using the signal strength from one of the laptops, and just did a hot/cold chase through the house.
In 1870 > 50% of locomotives were 4-4-0 and there was plenty of wood to be had in the Sierra Nevadas. For sure, times were changing but if you came to California then, you’d see no shortage of wood-burning engines.

Probably the challenging thing is to define “Wild West”.
To me it seems obvious that Hillary Clinton was the one who pulled (or pushed) the victory in Trumps direction, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by some really interesting remarks about her core voters.

(Disclaimer: Not an American, don't like Hillary Clinton and definitely not Donald Trump.)
1. Reddit dying/overtaken by another site in next 2-3 years.

2. Current dating apps dying. OkCupid will become irrelevant. Tinder will get overtaken by another app but not the FB one.

3. HIV AIDS cure will be fully and easily available in next 5 years.

4. Twitter will die off in 5 years.

5. No World War.

6. YouTube will get less traffic and a new competitor will be around with more traffic.

7. Tesla will become a Trillion dollar company.

8. Mankind will step foot on Mars and Moon again.

9. Google will launch a few more products and then kill them after 2 years.
They halfway did. Other languages took the interesting parts of functional languages (Java and C++ have lambdas, now). The the dynamic bit, Python has type annotations now, and Go, a replacement for Python in some ways, is statically typed.

Except for the spread of Javascript. No one said backend JS would be a thing.
A former teacher of mine was working on a way to do this with pandoc and Rmarkdown. The result is called redoc: https://github.com/noamross/redoc
It's still in beta though.
The way he phrased pointed to an internal change, not something like this.
People go around affirming how this happens, but I don't think very many people go out and try to determine through observation whether it's true.

I noticed a stock was up ~60% one morning not too long ago, and when I looked for news, it turned out that they just had their drug approved by the FDA. But it continued to rise throughout the day, and eventually leveled off at about triple what it had been the previous day.

The approval of a drug is about as clean and discrete a piece of market moving information as you can get, and yet anyone who could put it in context had hours to buy. That shouldn't make people go "oh, there are always exceptions", but "hmm, maybe a fundamental assumption somewhere is wrong".

I mean, presumably people are using ML and inside information to the hilt, as much as they can, in today's market. But the consequences aren't what people think.
I'm not sure if economists have developed some sort of model that would show when a consolidation would be beneficial in the long term for consumers, but I'd sure like to see one. We tend to not like it when firms collude with each other to control prices or stave off competition, in fact, we make it illegal to do so. But we rarely give them much trouble when they want to merge, which really isn't any different from collusion, don't you think?
I don't see any evidence that the company is atrophying based on its own measures of success: stock price and market share.

That's part of the cultural problem. You can't know if your culture helps or hurts because there's no control group.

Since Google is doing well financially, they'll have to conclude that their culture is good (or good enough) and stay the course. Firing VPs is rocking the boat, and any Board would be infuriated by it.

I'm reminded of the old adage that "we don't know what the scientific programming language of the future will look like but it will be called FORTRAN."

JavaScript today is much more usable than what came out in 1995. You still can't use the Set type to usefully contain anything but primitives, but there's a Set type!

Anyone have a recommendation for an RF scanner? Always hesitant to click on the amazon referral links in an article like this. Also an Amazon search for “rf scanner” appears to be mostly scammy advertisements for the same cheap Chinese garbage.

That's a hell of a generalization from an anecdote.
I wouldn't take investment advice from strangers on the internet. Especially one so uninformed to claim "Funny to see this finally making mainstream news" or someone so shady that he'd lie on HN to get people interested in his scheme.

You’re welcome to that opinion, but the iMac took off years before OS X was an operating system anyone would want to use.
"The right have certainly contributed to it by tolerating their crazies a little too frequently (even though they rarely win or have any power outside of useful headlines in the political media coverage) when in the past they'd stay the fringe and get zero news coverage or attention..."

I find that pretty funny considering who the current president is. I would go further to argue that was in part the reason he was elected. This is after all the man who started getting more and more attention for claiming that the former president was born in Kenya.

I mean, temporary alleviation of symptoms can be extremely valuable.

Think of how many people are on SSRIs that have mixed effectiveness, side-effects, and have to be taken daily. Then compare that with a treatment that you do once a month and whose main side-effect is a heightened sense of empathy. Even if it doesn't permanently get rid of depression and anxiety, and solve all of your underlying problems it's still a big step forward relative to the current state-of-the-art treatments.

I can speak to how nice it is to just feel fine for a while and get some respite from a constant feeling of fear and anxiety at everything. It's a world of difference, and could easily be the difference between someone not even being able to get out of bed, and actually taking a crack at doing things.
India Prime Minister Proposes Helping Coal Industry Survive Amid Climate Crisis
Yes, but--the gist of my post was that there is no utility (and maybe some negative utility) in trying to pass laws to prevent the NFL, or Hooters, or whoever, from hiring the people they really, really do prefer to hire, all other things equal.

By 2030:
1. Nigeria and/or Kenya's GDP will surpass that of the UK.
2. Global births will rapidly decline in all but the poorest nations. Data will show that "Peak Child" is near and will occur around 2040.
3. 4 day work weeks for salaried employees will be commonplace amongst large corporations.
4. A new search engine disrupting our commonplace search behaviors will be on its way to disrupting Google
5. The average Bachelor of Science degree in the USA will cost >$180,000 at a public university
OP meant custom graphic hardware. Dumb framebuffer is also what Apple Macintosh used, combined with full graphic library in firmware. Brilliant less is more/worse is better approach. Mac graphic accelerators simply patched firmware routines for their own accelerated versions - no drivers, no software rewrites, plop a card and everything is faster.
BTW - a clue for budding writers of UDEV scripts - you can't run daemons directly (udevdaemon will kill them when the scripts that started them exit) - you can use "at now" (after you install at of course) to start a secondary script that will be allowed to start your daemon for you

(that way you can write code that works with all init systems, largely by avoiding them)
The rate at which US solar electricity generation grows will pass 33 TWh per year, surpassing nuclear power's best decade (1980-1990) when US nuclear generation grew by 32.6 TWh per year.

So disappointing to see the top comment is an outright lie. This story has been covered by the mainstream media since 2018. What's even more worrying is this guy is giving investment advice to naive commenters who know no better.

Ask HN: Why'd a post about my personal OSS project trending #1 on GH get flagged
I hate to be a nuisance but I was really excited for the community response when I made a post linking to Github Trending telling people that it was my open source project that was #1, but it was flagged and removed. This is a lifetime achievement for me and I'm pretty bumbed out about that, any explanation why it happened? Thanks

International banks moving off of Libor triggers loan re-evaluations causing a financial down-turn

In response, US creates a trillion dollar infrastructure bill that gives power to states and cities to invest in infrastructure

China introduces state sponsored crypto currency uses it in trade with Africa and Asian trade partners (starts moving world off the dollar)

Russia replaces Putin, goes into irrelevancy as population ages

Amazon becomes major brick and mortar retailer (buys Best Buy)

Microsoft is first company to hit $2T valuation on backs of azure + developer tools and enterprise productivity.

Apple does not have another major consumer hit, has to make major cloud company acquisition to keep services business relevant

Google keeps search ad monopoly and continues to win TV video ads revenue through YouTube

Facebook + Netflix start dancing. Mobile specific content is released

Tesla is #1 car company globally. Existing companies are forced to license their tech (VW leads)

Not so sure our energy problems are going to come to a head in the form of all-out energy poverty. More likely I think: the convenience of energy being instantly available at all the right times and places will diminish.

Cloud spot pricing is I think one example where things that can be batched and deferred will be cheap even in a energy-decline future.

This is assuming we don’t sink so far as to lose our productive capacity for energy infrastructure altogether. Depends how bull/bear you are about the whole thing I suppose. In that scenario, there’s also gonna be no market to sell whatever you’re coding to.

I think SpaceX, while cool now, will be either non-existent, or a shadow of what it is today due to costs going out of control.

I feel like recommendation engines and personalized results already satisfy this "killer applications". I keep myself logged out when using YouTube and Google Search, but I always recognize that on YouTube it'd be a lot easier to find videos that interest me if it accounted for my history.
Tesla Cuts the Starting Price for Model 3 by 9% in China
Though it's definitely the exception, I found it nice when Patreon and Subbable merged. Everyone being on one platform, and the payment structure being consistent, was a plus.
Interesting and entertaining article, I enjoyed reading it. Now I want a "Which Emoji Weapons Shoot Real Bullets". I'm only half joking as many emoji sets transitioned from the depiction of real weapons to some form of toy, like a colorful water pistol.
It would be interesting to find out who started it and when the others followed.

> The Modi administration instead wants plants to install equipment that would cut pollution.

Can someone who has more expertise in this area weigh in on how effective are these pollution reducing equipments? The author of the article just brushes out this topic with hand wavy comments.
This happened to me recently where I had to make a judgement call about pursuing legal action and chose not to. It was regarding being reprimanded for discussing my salary with coworkers (with a heavy implication that I would be fired if I didn't stop).

Looked into it a bit. Discovered it was illegal under US law, but as far as I could tell the best case scenario is that they would be required to re-hire me in the event of termination and possibly give me back pay.

I sent an email to all my coworkers explaining what had happened and listed the phone number for the nearest regional NLRB office. Then I quit.

Still have some doubts about that decision. The company culture had made me to feel like I was doing something shameful either way so my emotions were a little all over the place at the time. I'd had a little more resolve I might have "played it smart" instead of blowing things up but the company was honestly too much of a juggernaut to be remotely effected by any action I took.

Well, not profit, clearly.
>One frustrating thing about Moxie's original post is that Signal derives huge amounts of value by piggybacking on an existing distributed federated network: the phone system. If phone numbers weren't an existing working identifiers that people had regardless of what OS

oh my sweet summer child.

I hop countries and switch phones every few years. This entire assumption that my identity is tied to a phone number which I will have forever is patently false. Phone numbers are an anachronism.

I sure as hell don't trust an alleged privacy focused messenger that insists on a hard identifier (even if I know how to subvert said identifier for now). When privacy truly matters, signal runs on an emulated phone and a burner number.
Isn't that true for Veblen too?
My read: he's realized that England's government gave up with hint of a clue it had after the rise of the EU, Brexit is about to reveal that fact, and it's time to grasp at straws in hopes that some kind of half assed imitation of ARPA will save it?

Come now. Let's just accept England's natural fate as a US protectorate alongside Guam if it leaves the EU.
so the process that fails releases the lock marking the job undone which causes another process to lock it?
Just want to point out you are taking the chemical at recreational doses and not therapeutic doses. This is why a professional administrating the drug is key. Look at it this way, Zoloft may give you a bad experience but not the same bad experience at 5mg vs 100mg. You can recognize the bad experience and work towards something else at 5mg vs 100mg (or replace with your favorite drug/dose) where you may end up in an outpatient hospital.
