It seems to be the trend. There would be more and more equivalents in Go in a foreseeable future. There would be a split.

I generally don't use Java or Go in my applications, but Go components are usually more lightweight and easier to use if you're not majorly working with those runtimes. JVM has a big overhead, and Java applications usually make things worse if they use things like dependency injection.
Have been looking for a while, but does anyone know if there is there anything like which-key for tmux?

which-key on vim has been great in making sure, I use new features, I add to my config file.
If this thing works as a better search engine for medicine, then I'd want my doctor using it. Could this person have trialled it in a healthcare system with a public-option?

Convince the government your product is a benefit to their doctors and by extension their citizens, and a good government should pay you for it after a proper trial.

Instead he walked into a situation where the incentives are utterly fucked by an atomised, privatised, and consumer-oriented healthcare system.
Thomas J. Stanley, a wealth researcher, wrote some books on the subject:

Stop Acting Rich

The Millionaire Next Door

There is a class of people, typically 16-25 who live at home, with minimal expenses and much disposable income he called “Gold Collar Workers.” They often buy luxury cars (usually used or salvage title) they cannot afford to repair and generally act fiscally like stockbrokers (high MPC).

OTOH, there’s another thread to this story. People who feel guilty that their material and/or monetary accumulation deprives others. It maybe a sort of victimology where people need to feel like victims to be valued in the victim hierarchy or that they have delusions of grandeur to feel self-important, like homeless people who say the FBI has a file on them.
... and then told they wouldn’t be flown home, too, if they tried to back out. There are jurisdictions where this would be a rape case.
> Paying 6%, or even 4%, on a savings account is a MASSIVE red flag to anyone with a bit of financial sense.

Not necessarily. Our equivalent to a savings account (caderneta de poupança) had a return above 6% per year until a couple of years ago (it's down to slightly above 4% per year now). It's very easy to beat that (for instance, the 5-year prefixed federal government bond has a return of 6,39% per year at this moment). So a return of 6% per year would be considered normal around here, not a red flag.
To offer a different perspective- my favorite way of learning to code has been to find coding puzzles (like codewars.com) and try to tackle those. I ended up learning a lot about control structures, data structures, and logic through there.

Programming is inherently creative and few books that I've read have room for creativity. I find it better to discover information than get it from a curriculum.
Having witnessed ebike conversions by a couple folks that I would characterize as skilled, I would recommend buying something premade. Unless you are both a skilled bike mechanic and into electronics, it can be a huge rathole. It won’t be less than getting either a used ebike or a radpower bike new.

He said "throw coal in a furnace", not mine coal. When I was a teenager I had a summer job keeping a coal furnace burning overnight. It's hard to underestimate the skill required for that. They probably could have trained pigeons to drop in coal chunks in return for bird seed. The best part of the job was the time it gave me to read programming books.

There are only 30 slots on the front page and they are highly prized.

The fact that an earlier submission of your project spent several hours on the front page is a great win. Congrats for that!

But the guidelines [1] and long-established norms [2] of HN are that the same story/project/topic isn't entitled to take up a front page spot a second time so soon after its initial appearance, unless it clearly "gratifies intellectual curiosity" [3] and contains "significant new information" [4].

So it's nothing personal; it's just how HN has to work to stay interesting and allow exposure for as much different content as possible.

You can submit your project again as soon as you've added any interesting new features.

Modern smartphones already give you the tools to stop abusing your phone’s dominance of your attention.

Screen time and other similar controls let you limit your usage of distracting apps. Or just don’t install them and learn some self control. Put your phone in your bag instead of your pocket, or maybe leave it at home sometimes.

A black and white phone missing basic features compared to a modern Nokia feature phone along with being currently unavailable to purchase without waiting is, overall, a shitty proposition.

And I didn’t even see the price before writing all that out. $350. No way. A KaiOS device seems way more sensible.
It existed at CMU, but it seems like even CMU has moved over to PyTorch. I think Amazon just doesn't want to seem like an "also ran" by conceding to one of its competitor's frameworks.

How was the web version created? Is it the same code compiled to WASM?
> whatever that crazy contraption is

The people who built "that crazy contraption" are pioneers in an industry that is going to help lift hundreds of millions out of poverty via cheap, non-predatory financial services and create trillions in wealth by further unifying the global market.

I am somebody who spends hundreds of hours per year reading about Ethereum and blockchain. I could stop doing this whenever I want, I'm not bound by my employer or anything.

I keep at it because the underlying technology and things being built with it are amazing and valuable.

If you take one thing away from this thread, let it be that Bitcoin is the "Ask Jeeves" of cryptocurrency and the future is actively being built on Ethereum.
> It seems highly, highly unlikely that alien societies would all come to this same conclusion

The idea isn't that they all come to the conclusion, but that the ones that it is game-theoretically optimal and those that fail to do so (as well as some that do not) are destroyed by the ones that do.
We have these old glass grids in the sidewalks along College Ave up here in Fort Collins as well. Some are even still in use by restaurants to load inventory from the Cysco / Shamrock trucks.
The HN guidelines call for changing titles that are misleading or baity. That one was baity, so we replaced it with representative language from the article body.

Generally we err on the side of preserving articles' original titles and favoring authors above everyone else! But not when the title breaks that guideline.

Do you even need stuff like this when we have CSS Grid now?

Manufacturing doesnt really use rpis i think? They'd want guarantees that the sbc remains in production and warranties and support and stuff. And emmc not sd card.
I just received my light phone and while I haven't used it much yet I'm mostly a fan. I used the Punkt MP01 for a while and it's still pretty much my favorite phone ever. We'll see how I feel about the E-ink display on this thing after some real use. The blinking and ghosting is kind of annoying, but not a deal-breaker. Honestly though I think the main reason I liked the Punkt phone so much was the buttons. Buttons are seriously underrated. I've noticed this already with entering text on the light phone. The screen is purposefully small and trying to cram a full keyboard onto a tiny touchpad is a little iffy.
I'm not so concerned about the lack of features at this point. I'd already though about coding up my own little text bot with Twilio to call rides through lyft or uber's APIs so maybe this will give me some incentive.

Edit: Yeah the flipping back and forth between landscape and portrait mode is pretty annoying. Devs if you're reading this please address in a future update.
Thanks for the example. That's interesting.
Sure, but you have to expect that. So, you look at the votebans, and you zap the people doing it unfairly. Or, even better, a voteban, legitimate or not, always costs you something--so you think twice before swinging the hammer.

These systems always seem to fail because there is no accountability. You can't allow actions without accountability for those same actions.

The problem is that accountability means involving humans and humans don't scale.
In fact, anything anyone does to earn extra income to afford a better home distorts housing prices. It'd have the same effect if they made the same money running a software consulting business in their extra bedroom.

Housing prices in desirable downtowns are mostly distortion these days. It's been a long time since they corresponded to the cost of construction.
I go all the way back to when there was only one store, on Lawrence (near the current big brown box, but they moved twice between the original one with IC legs painted on the side and the current location). I also lived a couple blocks away for a few years in the 90s.

For me it went downhill at the time they bought Infinite Universe (or whatever that store they acquired was called) and expanded nationwide. Actually it was kind of going downhill by the time they opened a store in Campbell.

I think the Fry's unique proposition was that it sold the stuff the folks inside the industry used, but retail. I remember being amazed the very first time I entered the store (when there was only one, remember) that they sold heat shrink. All sizes. All colors. They carried products that otherwise the only way to get was to order from a distributor, which was a pain because you had to know exactly what you wanted, or trawl through paper catalogs, wait for delivery, all that. Or you could get in the car, zoom round to Fry's and pick up what you needed.

Then over the next few decades two things happened: first, in order to keep making more and more money Fry's expanded both geographically and with more product lines. This took them outside the bubble where orange 5mm heat shrink off-the-shelf is something people want, and into competition with Costco and Walmart for basic computers, fridges, etc. Second the differentiation vs old line distributors eroded as everyone bought everything online with next day delivery. If you want orange 5mm heat shrink today, Jeff can get it to a locker near you in 1/2 a day[1].

In addition, Fry's became just a painful place to shop. e.g. since the early 1990s if you tried to buy DRAM modules there, the sales person would give you hassle about being an idiot for wanting tin plated contacts vs gold. They began strip-searching customers on exit when they moved into the brown box. They stopped carrying most professional products: e.g. if you wanted the simplest thing for a data center cage such as a shelf or a 4U ATX case, they probably wouldn't have that.

Not much. The thing about inequality is that it makes the top more powerful politically. The amount of money held by the top 0.1 percent is irrelevant to moving the income/wealth needle for the rest of the population.

There is a reason those who don’t like inequality had to come up with new measurements to highlight it. There is little impact on the mean, median, and mode if the rich get richer.

Reading through comments I feel like being from completely another world. While an option is to simply stay silent, I struggle to understand how that plot ends up unquestioned by everyone except lawyers. Is it self-censoring in action? Because I feel self-censored.
This likely happens to prevent the primary domain from being blacklisted. Many companies including key ESPs will register multiple domains to combat potential spam listings and blacklists. It's possible they rotate through a number of similar domains to ensure if any are blocked they have backups available for use until those get unblocked.

There’s more to a healthy economy than everyone being a programmer.
There is a lot that seems stinky with this deal... but The Register has reported that it was pressure from the US Government that led to ICANN's decision to remove the price caps from .org (without which the sale of PIR likely wouldn't have gone ahead). So it's hard to see how the transition away from US oversight would have been a factor here.

In fact, possibly it's quite the opposite - the NRO only has the power to request this information from ICANN due to additional community powers that were put in place as part of the process to end US oversight. So now the Internet community can steer ICANN in ways it couldn't before this change and (in theory) doesn't have to rely on vague threats from the US Gov to keep ICANN honest.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/01/org_domain_icann/

>Worse, the decision to push ahead with the contract change and ignore opposition to the price caps appears to have been made solely to appease two of the most powerful internet registries that ICANN is supposed to be overseeing, and in response to subtle pressure from the US government.

[...]

>One of the very few comments in favor of lifting the price caps specifically noted comments from the head of the US Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division about how it supported "reducing regulation, by encouraging competitive markets" and then noted in the same paragraph that ICANN "had its contracts reviewed by the DoJ’s antitrust division, which concluded that only .com had market power in the domain space."

>It was a clear message that ICANN would be crossing not only its main funders but also its own government (ICANN is based in Los Angeles) if it did not approve the changes.

I wish the sysops that handle canadiantire.ca would read this, it's a beautiful website, not only does it tell me how much inventory each store has in stock of a given product but also what aisle I can find it in, in store.

The problem though is the site is so slow I almost always check other store sites first.
No, you don’t need to register the car if you don’t intend to drive it on public roads. See farms.
If it were something worth asking to figure out who is a good hire, maybe - however, it's viewed as irrelevant at most jobs, so why waste precious interviewing time asking about irrelevant grades?

It's a waste of time, and thus unreasonable thing to ask about, wasting a candidate's time and the interviewer's time in revealing how little the interviewer knows about effective interviewing.
Do you know of referenceable pseudocode (or real code) for that somewhere? I've tried modifying your code to switch the loops, but it always comes out garbled; clearly I'm messing up somewhere in the refactoring process, but I don't have enough experience with this algorithm to figure out where!

Hi HN! I'm looking for companies that only requires 40 hour or less work weeks and offers great employee benefits like a good amount of paid-time offs, remote work, flexible working hours etc...

Companies like Basecamp, Buffer, Doist, etc...

1. More than 50% of the existing,large PBM companies will be acquired by pharmacies or insurers

2. Saudi Arabia will experience a coup, but it will be unsuccessful.

3. At least one of the large non-mobile telecoms in the US, will be acquired, taken private, or go bankrupt.

4. Venezuela will have a peaceful transition into a new government

5. Amazon will come inder tremendous pressure to break up, after at least 1 of their product listings is directly traced back to consumer deaths due to poisoning, malfunction, or misuse. This will lead to changes (wider) liability regulations / court decisions affecting online platforms across at least 5 US states, and spark a wider discussion that threaten to spillover over content companies like FB.

6. The plastic straw and the plastic bag will mostly dissappear

7. 1 country in the world will make the US dollar or the Euro their new official currency.

8. The tv (and potentially other) remote control will increasingly be complemented/replaced by competing remote apps.

9. Brands (Kellogg etc) in the cereals space in the US will see at least 1 M&A or bankrupcty.

10. Same as (9), but in the sweets space (Hershey's etc).

11. A new credit card issuer will enter the US market (brex?)

12. A new (nonwinner) nation will win the soccer world cup

13. Snap, Dropbox/Box or Kayak/Priceline will dissappear/be acquired.

14. Hezbollah will dissappear as a political party in lebanon, but the armed wing will continue in some fashion

15. Signal will accelerate market share acquisition and in fact emerge as a viable US competitor to whatsapp.

16. A new company will out of nowhere become a huge by making road travel more pleasant

17. We will continue not to find traces of life outside our planet (hope im wrong here)

18. Coffee machines will start to noticeably dissappear from the workplace in favor of tea.

19. Medicare age will be raised

2o. The boring company will actually be a success, like space X. Tesla will be ok but solar will continue to limp along.

21. Changes in the US student loan program will send many 4 year colleges into a financial tailspin. Changes will limit loans in many ways or ask colleges to directly shoulder some of the risk.

22. Netflix, GNC/Vita, and Nike market cap will be reduced by 25%

23. The stetoscope will finally dissappear

24. Diamonds will lose market share by 20%, replaced by simpler wedding bands

25. The MLB will see a contraction in one of the following: total games played per season, total teams in league, total tv air time

26. The number of hospitals in the US will grow below the population growth %

27. Violation tickets will cease to be paper records in most US metros.

28. A new budget airline (probably Azul) will expand in latin america and bring down airfares in the region by 20%.

29. Cell phones will have ubiquitous pediatric toolkids for parents sold: thermometer,oxigenation,etc will all be included and easy to operate.

30. I will read this post in 10 years!
Same for us, though they have outages more often than I'd prefer. Half the time when we get a PagerDuty alert, it's because Scalyr is screwed up and not ingesting our logs, not anything wrong with our systems.

But when it's not having an outage, it's lightning fast and easy to use. I especially like that you can do basically 100% of the configuration (aside from stuff like billing info) by uploading JSON files to them, so you can keep all your parsing and alerting configuration in your own version control system.

We logged a paid support case with Microsoft a while back, and support tickets were coming from something like microsoftdynamicssupport.net. The domain wasn't even registered so we had to call them and discuss the way our email replies were bouncing. They told us to forward everything to the same address, on the .com version of the domain. Months later a colleague had the same problem. It's like the people managing these support desks didn't even know what domains Microsoft owned.
