The article doesn't even discuss benchmarking Ruby against other languages, so I'm not really sure what you're on about. Couldn't resist taking a performance jab at Rails?

Also, I'll take "double the hardware specs" if it means I'm actually able to focus on what I'm building and not dicking around with devops or rebuilding all of stuff Rails metaprograms for me by hand.

If there was a framework for being as productive as Rails at half the cost then it would be flourishing. There isn't and as a result Rails isn't going anywhere any time soon.
It would be neat to have something downtown on State street. IKEA has stuff that isn't as big as say furniture, and could be hauled on the CTA.

However my thoughts were more along the lines of the very near suburbs, where there's a fair amount of vacant properties.

I don't know how well things are going at the Lincolnwood mall, on Touhy and McCormick Ave, just on the border of the city. Carson's just closed, and the Room Place furniture store has moved in. There are a handful of underperforming malls on the outskirts of the city, and it would putting an IKEA would definitely drive of traffic and make it more attractive.
The coronavirus disaster hasn't happened yet
"fake" is a subjective term and what I meant by fake was either substandard or direct knock offs of authorized manufacturers. we've been offered plenty of substandard "KN95" masks at <$0.10/mask.

btw, any of you at big (or small) companies that are looking at the daunting new normal of requiring masks at work (ie: uber drivers & riders) - please reach out - orders@maskhq.org

the HARDEST thing to do right now is match demand with supply. we had an entire production line (1M masks per week) running but once we fulfilled the order, that was it and now we are back at the "end of the line" to get more. the more we can pool large bulk orders together, the more consistent the supply chain is. ocean freight is ~20 days landed in LA and then 3-5 business days to get masks anywhere else in continental US.

for everyone else buying smaller quantities for personal use, as a long time HN lurker, use the discount code "HN" when ordering - https://maskhq.org/discount/hn

stay safe everyone!

Ok.

There will be no next time, I honestly tried to explain my point:

I AM NOT A SPAMMER, I do not advertise loans, porn and penis enlargement.

I tried to draw the attention of a very narrow part of the audience to the IT project, perhaps I did it too often, but apologized for it.

Instead of understanding, I received rudeness and insults.

Ok again.
Completely understand.
Short reason is because the market is driven not only by what value you provide, but how strong your negotiating position is.

As an analogy, imagine someone from NYC traveling to Mexico City to get tacos from a cart on the street at 9 pesos a pop (about 50¢ US). Those tacos are better than the tacos in New York, so why aren’t they paying $4 each?

>You are correct that ad networks have more information than your ISP does. The VPN will protect you from your ISP.

So to be clear, they'd get the data from the ISP? I'm not surprised DNS queries get saved but whole URLs is another thing.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am a little bit, that they'd expend the $$$ to store that info longer than necessary for core business functions.

>An easy implementation is to provide no personally identifiable information while using the web, and siloing the personally identifiable information when necessary. 1 email for your bank accounts and unemployment registration that uses your real name. A variety of differing emails and logins for all other websites.

I do this + throw the banking and personal email into Firefox containers.

Guerillamail is really useful for creating stuff like a HN account though it's sadly abused often enough many sites won't let you register using it anymore:

Instead of stating something new, I updated and added all the features i wanted in an app. I built the app to help me make solutions for reagents in chemistry lab , I was getting irritated by the calculations every time i had to perform a reaction in lab. It balances any valid chemical equation and gives you stoichiometric calculations with support for limiting reagents. With their molar masses. Also supports equations with fractional atom molecule (Doped Materials)( which was the real reason i made this). It has 65k+ total downloads with 10k active users.

Very true, countries can deviate from this in the positive direction. So the US is free to grant citizenship to a lot more than these (e.g. anyone born with at least one US parent, that's also what my country does), but it's not required by ICAO, it's a decision the US can make unilaterally.

> The day the GDPR came into effect, he filed violations complaints against Facebook and Google in four different jurisdictions.

When people do this it comes across as malicious harassment rather than a genuine legal complaint for harm caused. Why so many jurisdictions, and why on the very day it came into effect?
That's actually good to hear. I haven't used it, but it seems that it's important for some clients!
I do it too. I've found some vendors that will not allow their company name in the email address. For example, samsung@mydomain.com cannot be used to register with any Samsung-operated service.
I'm not seeing how this works with more complex state flows. Doesn't seem much better than useReducer.

Frankly, for state management I still haven't found anything that beats Redux on its own without thunks or sagas or any of that bullshit. This is despite doing my level best to see if useReducer on its own would be sufficient. It's not.

Thunks are unmaintainable. Sagas are put together with bailing twine and rely too much on generators for my taste. (The source code is smart but it's also wildly complex.) All of it is castles in the sky for no good reason. You don't need any of that anyway.
That’s interesting. The iPad version works extremely well for editing.
Has anyone had success using this with Adobe? I once had to install some Creative Cloud apps for a short-term project so I ran tree on the root directory as superuser before and immediately after installing and then used a diff checker so I’d know exactly what they put on my machine.

It took forever. When I was done with the project I “uninstalled” everything and then deleted every single file and folder from the list and manually poked around to see if there was anything lurking that I might have missed. I thought for sure I’d won.

About a week later I got a notification that Adobe Creative Cloud was requesting keychain access.

I’m convinced it’s un-uninstallable.

Community currencies are REALLY interesting in that it allows for local inflation but also prevents currencies in one community from dominating opposing communities.

For example, if there was a currency for 'coal' then the 'environmental' community could basically reject that currency.

Right now if coal mining makes a ton of money that's all that matters. They can dominate the local economy.
Right now I'm finally getting back to a chip8 emulator now I've figured out what I want to do for the GUI.

After that? I'd like to build up more of my (so far still private) personal website. Good excuse to learn more JS (and more modern JS). Maybe have part of the site be server based, learn more flask
I used to recommend Foxit too, but all major browsers now ship with good PDF support.
I don't think there should be any regulatory problems. I'm in Oregon. I think I just have to tell them it doesn't have an engine anymore to be exempt from DEQ testing.
What percentage of companies sell your info?
Thanks, yes that's what I meant. You want less body roll if your center of gravity is higher, so that requires stiffer suspension and stiffer anti-roll bars to keep the vehicle more level (at the expense of some comfort).
There is actually a "Design outside-in, develop inside-out" theory that I found illustrated once in an HN comment. It rang so many bells for me that I tried to write it out[1] so that I could understand it better.

Right, I don't see the justification for "breakthrough" on that particular page. It's interesting in that it's attempting to bring more performance to the JS world using old tricks, but from that page alone, I wouldn't call it breakthrough. I'd need to see more concrete justification for that term. It's possible that the compiler itself is truly groundbreaking, but that isn't really addressed in the readme.
How can you steal research to stop a disease causing global catastrophe? There's no good reason this research shouldn't all be publicly accessible.

If China were withholding research, I would applaud anyone who stole it from them. I see no reason I shouldn't do the same for China here.
Which suggests we will need to build new houses to satisfy all the demand. Which is exactly the question I was asking. How will those housing needs differ from today's? Will homes need more space for offices? play areas? gardens? bathrooms? Will multi-generational housing come back in-style to support elderly?
I haven't seen it on the web for literally a decade, but I think… Android might use it still?

EU is not Europe.

Why is it so difficult to stick with the same terms and definitions? Just in this thread Europe has been defined in like five different ways, all of which are various subsets, presumably picked to suit each argument as needed.

They just need to raise capital again. I wish for once they were just honest - need more cash because of the virus. Instead they are going to promise batteries that break the laws of physics.
Yes, I have a similar concern but I just make a new account every now and then.

Wow, big scope, but cool project. Any sense on what app will have the strongest pull with early users? Seems like a "I came for email but stayed for the notes" situation, but that's only me guessing.

Monoclonal Antibodies and Vaccines: A Q&A
God damn. $3,500 for a 1br apt. You must for sure live in SF lol.

Here’s how it really goes, as someone that fails Leetcode tests and interviews software engineers . Sometimes you are just in a high-demanding position, taking classes on the side to make your engineering better IRL, or you have a family. Grinding Leetcode just has a bad return regarding improving skills . I usually just end up focusing on being better in different ways. The candidates I interview seem to have Leetcode figured out anyway and it’s starting to become a bad tell. I’m having much more luck sniffing out good people with systems design questions.
Luckily other PDF editors do well with form fields and don't bundle a JS VM into their runtime.
Most LEDs will quote a CRI value. There are 15 buckets of color which can be tested, but generally CRI will just be the average of the performance on the first 8 buckets only. You can see the colors of the buckets at [1] or [2].

Higher quality LEDs will quote their R9 performance. LEDs are most efficient at creating bluish light, and use a phosphor to even out the light. Many LEDs lack red light output, which is what the R9 bucket is for. However ideally you want great performance across the full spectrum.

The LEDs I'm using are the Bridgelux Thrive. If you look at page 7/9 (page numbers / actual PDF page) on their datasheet [3], they have actual graphs of the light spectrums. Two pages above that they have a table with R1-R15 measurements.

On the lower graph of page 7/9, the dotted line is a black body radiator at 4000 degrees kelvin. Basically hot stuff glows and the spectrum shifts depending on the temperature. Incandescent bulbs are around 2700 K and make a shitton of infrared plus a bit of red/yellow. The sun is at 6000-6500 K; while it still makes a lot of infrared the spectrum now covers the entire visible range and also some UV and shorter wavelengths.

They plot against that spectrums from what would qualify as 80/90/98 CRI. You can see the 80 CRI has a large falloff on the red (right) side of the spectrum. Bridgelux invents a new number Average Spectral Deviation which just computes how different the light is from the black body radiator; as you can see the Thrive is almost the exact same except for the very deep reds and a small blue bump / green dip (which is a characteristic of most LEDs, you can see the others have a much bigger deviation).

I was a bit surprised to see that the 98 CRI had such a huge deviation in the blue (seems it trades a bigger blue bump for a smaller green dip). I don't know how trustworthy the comparisons are, but at least the Thrive is damn near perfect.

However it's not very efficient, outputting 100-120 lumens per watt. Less-accurate emitters can get close to 200 lm/W. Also there's not a very big difference between the prices of different LEDs, and a different module would likely be a drop-in replacement. So you could nearly double the output of the system I designed if you didn't care too much about color rendering, which would make it somewhat competitive with the market in terms of $ per lumen. There's still a bit of soldering and assembly involved though.

I think there’s subtle distinction, when they say “tech” it means web based human exploitation TECHniques aka “Ad”, and when they say “engineers” without specifying which(civil, mechanical, electronics etc) it implies social script engineering. I think the idea is if you think it means technology and software engineering respectively then they’d declare it a problem with your naivety thus quote-unquote your own fault.
Wow. What a way to describe the tradeoff of a programming language. No, thanks
There are a few Super Serial Cards listed on eBay right now. Your deep regret can be fixed for about $20-60.
> doing a walkthrough of the domain

Any advice on how to do this without a domain expert to hand?
Sparkle is slightly more limited in what it can do and grabs an authorization right (to run things as root) when updating using the system APIs to do so rather than always running as root. Some would say this is a much better design (myself included) but Adobe presumably did not go this way because they are either lazy or actually would like more access to the system than Sparkle needs.
The motor comes with a controller. It's made by SME, and is surprising small and light.
I'd counter argue the reason Tesla stock remains so high is due to brilliant PR about 'aims' rather than actual performance. The carrot is always dangling for investors. It's genius that Tesla retains such a high stock price in the face of global realities, not least of which is the current US China trade war headwinds.

Wiring the Quantum Computer of the Future: Novel Simple Build with Existing Tech
No, I can't imagine a single cart attendant would appreciate the extra work. What I am trying to say is: yes a good portion of people probably do follow the rules, despite the possibility of not having any negative consequences but that doesn't mean we should get rid of the rules. There are people who "just want a haircut despite my cough, what could possibly happen" and will infect people along the way. Sure, they were considerate because they considered staying home but that barber needs the money. Maybe they think it is considerate, but I have a feeling a lot of other people won't.
I'm not insinuating that they use the same method used as the moderation team.
Not necessarily. Ikea furniture has the principal advantage of being sized for the spaces you'd commonly find in cities. Typical furniture from a US furniture store wouldn't fit in my apartment. My Ikea "bedroom set" consisted of under-bed storage and a bed frame with slats. And my couch had enough storage under it that I kept all my hiking equipment in my living room. It was fantastic.
> Personal experience/preference, but the thing that has (almost) never led me wrong was doing a walkthrough of the domain of the application, and then thinking about what the client-side pages and functionality are going to look like (page-by-page, user stories), and then implementing the backend. Finally, wire up the backend to the frontend mockups/design.

I'm not totally clear on what you disagree with. it seems like you're suggesting roughly what the article is saying -- figure out the front-end and then implement the backend.

what is the diff between what this article is saying and what you're saying?
Yes. They don't go into a lot of detail, but I suspect they will look at all existing IKEA stores and selectively expand/convert some of them into mixed-use spaces. In particular, I can see them offering, say, 'satellite' office space and meeting rooms in certain suburbs near high-density areas -- for people that now want to work remotely but don't necessarily want to work from their own home every day.
I don't see this as a new feature, I see it as cost control. Fixing technical debt brings your long-term carrying costs lower. They're increasing the efficiency of their developers so they can do more with fewer of them, which helps reduce total compensation costs.

Al-qaeda is eradicated but they won, I fear many would credit 9/11 as the begining of the end of america. Much like insurgent warfare,terrorism will be studied as a means of warfare where due to extreme imbalances on weaponry and digital surveillance the only way to fight is by terrorizing your enemy. War is horrible but terrorism is a cancerous form of war where destroying your enemy does not translate to success.

Won what? As far as I know, they didn't achieve their goal of driving out the Americans out of the Middle East. The loss of privacy and rights is incidental to their goals.
By that logic, companies should never open source anything. Yet, they do. Typically, the reason is to attract talent. Not everything has to be focused on short-term ROI.
Isn’t that so counter-intuitive? This clearly means that it’s an inefficient market. I don’t need to have a good social network to buy a nice TV. What a great problem that needs to be solved.
According to your own beliefs, your statement above can't be true. But one thing about it is certain: It is not objective interesting to me in the slightest.
I am working mainly on TeXnicard [0]. While not yet complete, I have made a lot of progress in writing it (and I have mentioned it on here before, I think, but I implemented more since then).

I also read some books, too.

Also, I have a comment about the pagination on Hacker News. I will want to know how many pages there are in order to quickly skip to the last page. (Really, just implementing NNTP would help. It has a high water and low water number, to easily find the oldest and newest messages. It has a lot of other benefits too, including user-defined sorting, offline mode, etc.)

My opinion is that you cannot fact check opinion pieces. There is a difference between news and opinion articles.
On the flip side, if VCs decide their money is better spent in Provo or Austin than SV, there might be a move toward wage equilibrium.

20 years ago, tech was still a toy to the average person and lawyers were the ones in high demand.

The thing about markets is that they communicate relative scarcity, which tends to bring new people into the market.

It will be interesting to see what happens next.
