IRC is as simple as it gets for people who are familiar with IRC. New users expect certain UI features for chat apps anymore, and people able to connect via a browser without needing to worry about /commands is the way the world works these days.

If you're switching between envs with cut and paste, maybe you could do likewise with the badge?

echo -e "\x1B]1337;SetBadgeFormat=$(echo "production" | base64)\007"

echo -e "\x1B]1337;SetBadgeFormat=$(echo "development" | base64)\007"

Consider giving yourself some bash functions with appropriate names, which set the env vars and switch the badge too. Then instead of pasting each time, you'll just use the function name in the shell.

The upper layer of the atmosphere are not denser than the upper layer of the earth atmosphere, so it does not make aerocapture more difficult. It’s just that the atmosphere is “deeper”: going down, it starts thin, and then gradually densifies until reaching earth conditions at around 50km, then you keep going down in thicker and thicker atmosphere, which means you don’t need big parachutes.

How is installing a matrix client any different than installing an IRC client?
"Java 14 is scheduled for release on March 17"

So it didn't quite arrive yet.
So I have a lot of experience with basically the same problem just from working on this: https://www.prettyfwd.com. As an example of the opportunity size just in the email domain, the amount of personal non-spam email sent every day is like 100x the total size of Wikipedia, but nothing is really done with any of this information because of this challenge. Basically applications are things like:

- Better search engine results

- Identifying experts within a company

- Better machine translation

- Finding accounting fraud

- Automating legal processes

For context, the reason why Facebook is the most successful social network is that they're able to turn behavioral residue into content. If you can get better at taking garbage data and repackaging it into something useful, it stands to reason that there are lots of other companies the size of Facebook that can be created.

Won't the pointer also be hot in cache in this case? I only ask because it seems to me like excessive data copying (and cache eviction) is a major source of slowness in modern programs. People are churning their cache to pieces by copying the world for every function call.

It's fine as long as your entire program fits neatly in cache, but once you exceed the cache size performance goes to hell because you force loads of misses of slightly-older data by constantly copying your working data.

Hi dang. I know you did not have to do that but I just wanted to say from the STH team we appreciate it. Have a great day.
Mining expenditures are limited by the benefits relative to the cost. Increasingly expensive mining is added until the expected revenues of bitcoins sold don't make up for them. At the moment right now, more mining could come online, but isn't taken online because it wouldn't pay for itself.

If energy becomes more expensive -- say, by pricing in the externalities of some energy sources -- that decreases the equilibrium expenditure, because marginal mining can't pay for itself anymore.

The concept of "pricing out miners" doesn't even make sense to begin with. Miners are competing with other miners (including malicious ones). Any resource constraint affects all of them; it can't make all of them give up. To the extent that other coins become popular, that (again) just prices out marginal miners.
Could you point me to more info/examples on physically impossible reverbs?

The correct particle filter masks will obviously protect. The risk is that by providing that guideline you risk disruption in the supply chain.

There isn't enough world production and stock for the average joe to panic stockpile N95 masks.

The likely reason for this walking back in the recommendation is that 1) most people don't know mask sizes and how to fit a mask 2) if we have a limited stock then priority should be given to health workers who have to handle infected patients on a daily basis.

Sure. I've been on IRC since the 90s. It's a tool I know and love.

OK. What good terminal clients exists which I can run in a screen session on my home server? Are there any which acts more or less like irssi or weechat, which I've developed deep habbits for the last 20+ years? And are any of these packaged by Debian or Ubuntu?

If it's mature tech, like you say, there should be lots of clients and finding one which fits my niche should be simple, right?
There are political entities which exist solely to provide an online presence for their clients. It's no different than "Russian trolls", except they're being paid by campaigns and committees instead of the KGB. It is my opinion that every comment, submission, and account operated by these organizations should bear a disclosure stating who is paying for them, just like every other paid public communication they might do.

It sounds like it was a good thing you got fired from Oracle. You got a raise in your next job (so Oracle was underpaying you), and you got away from a crappy company. Your only mistake, in hindsight, might be that you didn't leave Oracle sooner.

I stuck around at one company for way too long too, earlier in my career. I finally got pushed out because of a bunch of layoffs. I got a huge raise at my next company, plus a more interesting job too, and better coworkers. I should have looked around earlier, but I was comfortable at that job and afraid of leaving. (That next job ended up not lasting too, again due to mismanagement resulting in laying off my whole team, but the job after also came with another big raise...)

I think the moral here is to not ever get too comfortable at any one job, and don't take things personally if you get laid off: the company is probably being stupid and losing a great asset.

You identified the problem earlier in your post:

>Peoples obedience to authority didn't change much in general, it's an instinct for survival

What separates human beings from other animals is our ability to reason and not defer blindly to instinct. The issue is obedience to authority, not that people are simply listening to the wrong authorities. We should do our best to teach our children skepticism and critical thinking skills. We should urge Socratic Dialogue and, over time, move people towards being less susceptible to faith-based dogmas and conspiracies.
Check out the economist cover article for this week. Goes over it in detail.
Almost any business that has physical suppliers or business customers.

PDF is de-facto standard for any invoicing, POs, quotes, etc.

If you solve the problem you can effectively programmatically deal with invoicing/payments/ large parts of ordering/dispensing. It's a no brainer to add it on to almost any financial/procurement software that deals with inter business stuff.

Any small-medium physical business can probably half their financial department if you can dependably solve this issue.
Sample quote: During the 2019 p5.js Contributors' Conference, a group formed to discuss how radical inclusion, decolonization, and a de-centering of dominant communities could be further integrated and emphasized in p5.js as a toolkit and a community. We acknowledged and discussed the ways in which p5.js is built upon (and benefits from) colonial projects like the English language, the Internet, and their related infrastructures.
What have you looked into and dismissed already besides Elastic?
I had always hypothesized that numeracy is, besides being generally useful of itself, mostly useful to programmers as application domain knowledge rather than as an indicator of learning programming concepts or programming languages. That said, an awful lot of certain problem domains are heavy in mathematics.
That is a client/software problem, not a problem that needs to be replaced with complicated solutions. You're fixing the wrong problem and then shitting on the previous implementation without taking the effort to resolve the issues there.

Not to mention IRC has plenty of web UI clients that make usage simple, so that point itself is moot.
So far sugars, and amino acids have been found in both comets & gas clouds. BUT to find this protein is the slam-dunk, holy-shit they were right, proof that Panspermia is how we got here, and there _MUST_ be life in other parts of the universe.

It depends. Many techniques are very risky, but some are safe and useful, and can have significantly less financial risk than owning stock directly.

It looks like Robinhood users ended up missing the market upswing if they were hoping to buy low yesterday (Monday). As a day trader, I'd be going out of my skull. And it appears this problem was solely because they didn't use existing known-good libraries to count dates/time properly.
The patent office?
I agree with your caveat, but reply with a caveat of my own. The key difference between a mouse and pen/touch is the ability to hover. With a mouse, I can put the cursor over a UI element without "clicking" or otherwise interacting with it. That's difficult to do with a pen and impossible to do with touch. The key use case that hover enables is the ability to preview changes by hovering over a UI control and confirming changes by clicking. A pen/touch UI would have to handle that interaction differently.
While I have no objection to panspermia being possible, if it were true, it would be a significant hurtle added to the search for the origins of life. We would know how life on Earth started, but until we expand out into the galaxy, understanding the origins of the life that seeded Earth would be essentially unknowable.
I find lack of remoting to be a showstopper for a lot of apps that belong in datacenters, but a web browser is one of the few where it's reasonable to always run on your desktop (attached to the GPU and display, which Wayland can't live without).
Can I "apt install" a terminal Matrix-client, like I can probably apt install more IRC-clients than I can count?
I'm not sure HN is the venue for you to begin your race war or make whatever point you're trying to go for here.

I wouldn't call it luck; it really depends on a lot of factors. If he's a software dev like most people here, then he's in an industry where there's a high demand for his talents, so it's generally not that hard to find a new job. Unfortunately, this is of course not the case for all workers; laid-off coal miners for instance will have a much harder time.
Mozilla's Matrix numbers disagree. Riot/Matrix is much more accessible than IRC.

I'm a junior dev, turning 20 soon, self learned, started a few years ago with Python, now I'm working on building a portfolio in Go. I like making CLI stuff, libraries, and generally backend stuff, more technical, less visual. I didn't go to college, nor was I ever employed, so I don't have much to put on a resume yet. I'm currently in New York, but want to get out, preferably somewhere on the east coast.

> Fonts in PDF’s are insane because they’re often subset so they only include the required glyphs and the characters are remapped back to 1, 2, 3 etc instead of usual ascii codes.

I've actually seen obfuscation used in a PDF where they load in a custom font that changes the character mapping, so the text you get out of the PDF is gibberish, but the fonts displayed on rendering are correct (a simple character substitution cipher).

The important thing to remember whenever you think something should be simple, is that someone somewhere has a business need for it to be more complicated, so you'll likely have to deal with that complication at some point.
I'm running Arch on my office workstation. I install up to date software literally every day.

The diamond princess is... interesting, yes, but an unmitigated disaster is how most experts have defined it. It’s unclear we can extract meaningful info applicable to the rest of the world based on the cruise ship.

Also consider my point that many, many of these cases are unresolved. Whereas the China study, which most health experts are relying on currently as our best guess - not the cruise ship — looks at resolved cases.
It's unclear to me whether any command-line based Matrix clients are in major package managers, for one thing. Going by Github the only one that looks like it's active is written in Python. Other, non-CLI desktop clients look variously half-finished or abandoned. Looks like mobile and web get all the attention.
Eventually. For some reason, people aren't all in favor of giving everybody universal health care. If we did, then yes, everybody would eventually have all of the advances in medical technology.
I'm not an expert, but I think that there are different flavors of panspermia. Some would say that we got at least single-celled organisms from space; others would say that we just got complex chemicals.

I wish they'd issue short-term scoped CAs under the same criteria as they currently use for wildcards.

No significant load on their infrastructure, and you'd not have to break the "private keys don't move over _any_ network" rule.
I wonder how performant this is in comparison to other quick and dirty methods to work on local files like bash, pythonz etc.
I find it mildly annoying when people state such nuggets of knowledge as “laws”. Sure, it’s generally true that you can’t go for the most sophisticated and powerful system at the first go, but sometimes the minimal working system is complex no? Anyway, it’s certainly not a “law” of the universe.
Your comments have been using HN primarily for ideological and political and (now) religious battle. That's not what HN is for, and as the site guidelines explain, we ban accounts that do that.

In a way it has. In my experience, there have been multiple times where a "generate PDF" requirement has come up, with the best viable solution being "develop it in HTML using standard tech" followed by "and then convert it to PDF".

The author started Atomic Object, a consulting company that happens to be in my hometown, so I've kept track of it over the years. It has been going since 2001, and last year he stepped back from CEO and is now just chairman, with other employees now taking the lead. Their managing partner, Brittany Hunter, recently told me, "Atomic Object is 100% employee owned and will stay that way forever...our vision is to be a 100 year old company!"

My strategy is to use two passes.

First, dump the raw content in quickest way possible. Generally the quickest way is plain text, if I have a good keyboard around. I also like eraser boards so I have some small ones by my desk [1]. Wipebooks are nice for portability [2].

The part where I put more care is the second pass, where I go trough the notes and try to structure them in a more useful way for reviewing and learning. The guidelines for formulating knowledge from the SuperMemo author are super useful here: "Effective learning: Twenty rules of formulating knowledge" [3].
