Of course redistributing wealth to a person in bulk in the short term is going to improve their wellbeing. Was anybody really wondering if this is true? This is bordering on tautology.

The criticism of these programs is that they will cause economic problems in the long run. It's not to say they won't make anybody happy in the short run.
"new" the cloud is not new. AWS was launched in 2006.

Also firewalls/DMZ/IDS has nothing to do with a SaaS offering from GitHub. That on prem setup you mentioned would be practiced by GitHub.

My opinion of general on-prem security is that it's often haphazard and updates are almost never applied.

But also a lot of on prem security practices hamper developers and users. Because they rely on decades old outdated ways of working.

Also your comment makes no sense as this is likely to be a hack through stolen credentials.

Yes, to highlight that this "horrible rigmarole" and "irritation" you describe is entirely on the basis of there being a Perl script involved. Something I suspect the majority would overlook without even really noticing.

An in-house application that we (I) developed in order to handle game balancing, queuing, and overall network state for a multi-LB Minecraft network. The application's name is MasterControl, and it's architecture and design (or lack thereof, it was literally the first program I ever wrote) has been the source of many headaches over the last few years. Had I known years back that we would see the kind of player numbers that we have this year, we 100% would have completely rewritten it into our modern microservice architecture.
I have OP's problem (drifting trackpoint) with an x230. To be honest I had never looked it up or saw it mentioned before, I just kind of live with it. Sometimes the cursor randomly starts drifting and I have to play a little with the trackpoint to get it to stop. It is occasionally annoying but doesn't bother me that much. In any case, it is the x230, so looks like the problem isn't exclusive to newer models.
It’s funny.. I was at Microsoft recently for some meetings and their rooms were Teams integrated. On at least one occasion we had to revert to Hangouts Meet+HDMI in the room to get external people to join simply because Teams wouldn’t work. The best thing about Meet is the simplicity.
Emacs Lisp is a much better language than JavaScript, and that goes double for extending Emacs.

Emacs Lisp is the reason for Emacs being such a cohesive ecosystem. JavaScript would be a major mistake.

Yes, because air conditioning units have net positive heat generation. Though they usually use water as their heat sinks, and if that water is flushed then it effectively eliminates the heat in a practical sense if not a thermodynamic sense.

Reply in comment, since HN is rate limiting my VPN.

This is assuming that the terrain without solar panels would convert as much energy into heat as the solar panels are collecting. In reality the terrain without solar panels reflects a lot of the energy it receives, whereas solar panels are optimized to absorb as much of it as possible.

How easy would it be to estimate costs based on something like data points/performance traces? On the one hand, it makes total economic sense to align pricing against utility but I’ve also heard for larger enterprises, something that lets them price things out for the future helps with cost management.
Whether or not compromised, I am sure my messages on iMessage are not used to train censorship applications by the NSA. Messages on WeChat are used for censorship.

I also, separately, think that in aggregate Apple has incentives to make iMessage secure. While Tencent has incentives to share WeChat data with CCP.

These are among many reasons why the comparison was false equivalence. The world is not just black and white “secure vs not secure.”

It might be the case that a seven day quarantine with a test on the fifth day (for example) would be enough, but I imagine their government would want to see data confirming that.

It's probably not the case that someone can be tested on arrival and assumed not to be incubating the virus at as-of-yet undetectable levels.
Maybe, but there are other metrics than just developer output.

If having a codebase that's well organized makes developers happier, and happier developers stay longer at the company, then that's also a win.
> does "real science" even exist?

Sure it does. Newtonian mechanics, relativity, and QM/QFT are all real sciences. So are astronomy, chemistry, and biology, at least.

> that really means we have never changed to a new paradigm?

No. The old paradigm was Aristotelian physics (at least it was in physics). That paradigm, as I've already said, does not survive at all today, not even as a special case or an approximation.

If you want examples from other sciences, here are some:

Astronomy: old paradigm - astrology and other schemes that knew how to keep track of where stars and planets were in the sky, but did not construct or test any models to explain why the appearances were as they were; new paradigm - Ptolemaic astronomy, which was the first model that actually purported to explain why the appearances were as they were and to test itself against observations, further progress has all been on that same basic pattern, although the underlying models that have survived being tested against data have changed a lot.

Chemistry: old paradigm - alchemy, phlogiston, caloric, pre-Lavoisier chemistry; new paradigm: Lavoisier and post-Lavoisier chemistry, which started with a proper understanding of combustion and went on to the atomic theory, kinetic theory of gases, periodic table of elements, and now is applying QM to analyzing why atoms and molecules have the chemical properties they have.

Biology: old paradigm - purely phenomenological and taxonomic classification of organisms, without trying to explain any patterns or test any hypotheses against data; new paradigm - attempts to explain inheritance and the development of basic evolutionary theory.
Honestly curious: knowing what everyone knows, why would any person who is not of Chinese origin, use WeChat?

First, I was talking about software that doesn't run on Linux but does run macOS, for the case where you don't want to use Windows but still need certain programs. For those users, the Windows "workflow" is already a deal-breaker, as is the lack of professional software on Linux, so macOS is the only choice.[0] I also didn't call out any specific software because there is lots of it besides the Adobe suite.

Second, can you elaborate? What makes Adobe run "horribly" on macOS? I admit I haven't used an Adobe product in years, but I used to do some design as part of my job, and I can't say it worked any worse on my Mac than it did on my Windows machine.

[0]: I recognize that this isn't necessarily a huge segment of users, but I for one would be hard-pressed to go back to Windows, even if it saved me a thousand bucks on a laptop.

Sorry, buy have to disagree. Management broadly (program or business managers and related workers) are not always wrong or wrong to ask. Nor is it waste to try. It's exactly this kind of fixed belief which drives behavior that ultimately runs the big risks. Not sure deeper meaning buy seeing this kind of interaction is a game, stupid game, or good idea by innocent if stupid people is exactly the kinds of things that work against team cohesiveness. Software isn't 6-sigma manufacturing so the best kind of predictive work that applies there doesn't work for us, but even they know good cross functional coordination is about a whole lot more than error bars. The book will give clarity and depth this forum won't permit. The inability to perfectly plan does not advocate for the "trust me model" from programmers.

I've used emacs for maybe 18 months solid. I never found it had a single feature that my other editors didn't have (not saying it doesn't, just staying I didn't run into them).

My other editors can be extended via scripts. My other editors (mostly) have keyboard macros, repeat, etc.. My other editors can be used efficiently keyboard only. My other editors debug various languages. My other editors open shells in the editor. I don't care about org mode, I care about editing code.

Conversely many other editors do their best to be dev env aware, reading/understanding/integrating various language environment project files, which was never something I found in emacs (maybe it's all been added since I my emacs times)

About the only thing I still would consider using emacs for is editing in a shell remotely but (a) usually it's not already installed and (b) usually I'm not editing anything serious remotely.

What's special about emacs? What am I missing that's not in other editors?

This is true but we did it for a reason. Buying a car used to require 35% down, 12-24 month payments, and 10%+ interest.

The average price of a new car is around $30,000. What percentage of Americans can afford a $10,500 down payment and a $900 monthly payment? I’d guess less than 15% but it’s just a guess.
> I would argue that this is better called "engineering" rather than science.

You can't do engineering to that level of accuracy if you don't have a solid base of science to build on.
Yep, IIRC timestamps are one of the issues - you can either drop the.timestamp or inject a well documented timestamp from the outside, so the user can do that as weel during the rebuild.

Indeed, a lot of the stuff you need to do to achieve reproducible builds can definitely make your build process more robust and secire.
At any rate all of this misses the point; Signal doesn't use phone numbers because phone numbers are an especially good identifier, but as a UX tradeoff to keep metadata off their servers.

Joe Rogan and Elon Musk; Round 2
This EFF release isn't about what technicalities or creative interpretations USPTO used to avoid the complying with Alice because that guidance isn't new, what's new is a report that shows the dramatic effect of their avoidance, and that's what the article is about.

If you really wanted to know what the guidance was, literally the first link in TFA leads to an EFF backgrounder that explains it, including linking to the actual source.

EFF's mission is to effect positive change in technology. If you disagree with their views on software patents, you should expect to not like what or how they have to say. Their mission is not to convert you, it's to drive support and engagement for their ideals among their supporters and undecideds.

I personally do agree with them on software patents, and so I approve of their methods because I can see that they optimize for effectiveness of their campaign, as they should.

The issue often is that management will not crush programmers if wrong. Managers aren't stupid. This isn't a competence issue primarily. This is a trust and openness issue mainly. So the estimates were wrong? What do people believe about why they were wrong and how will people react? If that decends into defensive behavior ... Read the book.
They are often within 6' of other people, a number which is seemingly arbitrary.
Emacs is not an editor, it is rapidly-programmable-at-runtime-evolvable software that is designed to:

+ Help you realize how _you_ best deal with information.

+ Help you manifest your realization through _rapidly_ molding Emacs into your conceived model.

It is also the closest thing we have today to the Lisp Machine paradigm. I wrote this earlier today:

You'll get the most out of Emacs if you treat it as an
investment and put in the time to learn at least some Emacs
Lisp so that you can confidently explore and customize the
rest of the system. You don't need to become an expert
overnight, just learn enough to navigate the system (which
is self-documenting and geared towards helping you perform
that navigation).

Yes, it may feel weird or out of touch with contemporary aesthetics but that's really because it doesn't come with
strong, tunnel-like notions of _how you should think_ and _how you should work_.

It is not easy today to come to terms with a tool that's simply designed to help you craft
a computing experience, since we've been so conditioned to expect somebody else's model be there from the beginning:

While the worst case might be infinite, the average case is a lot less bad than that, and knowing whether something will take 2 hours, 2 days, or 2 weeks is important for prioritizing work. Maybe that one new column in the query isn't so important if it'll take 2 weeks, but if it's only 2 hours then let's get it now.

Your distinction here is 100% on the money.

When you say "do non-perturbative QFT in curved spacetime" you don't mean "make a risky prediction that could be falsified in non-curved spacetime", right? As I understand it the whole purpose of perturbation is to approximate QFT so that it can predict macro-scale things.
Why is your link downvoted?
This makes some, definitely not all, developers happier.

Organization for happiness is based on the individual developers personality and means you are putting some engineer’s happiness as a priority over spending that money providing other things to make the developers with a personality type that derives no benefit from strict organization.

In fact, strict organization rules make some developers less happy. Why is their happiness less important when this is well known to have no business benefit?

It’s worth noting that Facebook Messenger also intercepts and filters messages. For example, it’s impossible to send a message containing the link “joebiden.info”. On the mobile app, it will simply say “failed to send.” On desktop, it will tell you the link violates its “community standards” and cannot be shared.
What is the incentive for any app to do the right thing then?

It seems to me that coloring all apps the same regardless means that all apps may as well just do exactly as you describe...

> I am sure my messages on iMessage are not used to train censorship applications by the NSA

What basis do you have for this certainty?
One of the big points in the book: at many human organizations trust/openness is the last thing resolved. And most people think openness is scary because it means being yelled at or leaving oneself open to be screwed somehow. There can't be openness unless there is safety ... Hence the ray dalio quote (and this comes many many variations by many people): working is doing dumb ass things you wouldn't be caught dead doing at one's own company. There's tons of ineffective labor -- people know better -- but won't say it because they are afraid about being screwed.

> not all features of our models of nature are features of nature itself.

Bingo! Therefore our models are each wrong in some way. Paradigm shifts happen when a new model (theory, paradigm, etc) that is "less wrong" conquers an older incompatible model that is "more wrong". That incompatibility is the defining characteristic, not the usefulness or the scope of the model. Of course I consider Newtonian Dynamics to be incompatible with GR, one uses a single frame of reference and the other uses infinite frames of reference.
Metadata is data /about/ data. A file with all 4 billion possible IPv4 addresses written out is not an unprecedented security hole it's just useless for example.

"Who you send a message to" is actually a relationship between two pieces of information, a sender and a recipient but Signal doesn't collect this in most cases.

Who the message they received is _to_ in the sense of which Signal account it's for, they need to know in order to store it and pass it on. But who you were they don't need in most cases because of their Sealed Sender feature.

When you converse with Alice your phone fetches profile data that it is able to unlock because Alice's phone agrees you're a friend and provided the key to do so. Alice's profile includes tokens that her friends can use to send her messages. Subsequently your phone presents a token authorising you to send messages to her, and so Signal does not ask it to identify itself when sending this message.

As a result Signal intentionally does not learn who sent these routine messages between friends and acquaintances even though the message recipient can determine who sent them.
Right, how can keeping human error under the wheel be viable, considering you are already rigging the entire road infrastructure?. Just make more efficient public transportation under such circumstances.

Ask HN: Spec of Facebook's First Server?
Regarding the launch of Facebook in February 2004, all I've been able to glean is that they were initially running the site on a rented server costing $85 per month. Digging around in The Internet Archive for hosting sites that year I estimate Facebook was probably running on a P4 with 256Mb of RAM running PHP4, MySQL and Apache. Anyone have anything more accurate?
