Not to flog unnecessarily an expired equine, you say:

> C's printf has had the "%a" conversion since forever

That turns out not to be the case. Would you care to guess:

* Which year it was first introduced?

* Which year it became wide-spread?

* When I started programming?

* How old some of the systems are in which I still work?
The necessary evils bit is probably a way to relieve our cognitive dissonance. Anyways, do you have evidence to support your fear and hatred cycle, as well as its prevalence in western society?
You're actually asking for a thing that has already been available for quite a while until now (click through errors). So if you're just now thinking "maybe they should do that", they already have, and it's a strong indication that you never ran into any sites still using TLS 1.1 or 1.0 — and that removing them is just fine.

> I'd rather see

TLS 1.0 and 1.1 have unfixable security issues and TLS 1.2 was ratified as an internet standard 12 years ago. Mozilla reported over 1.5 years ago that the total number of TLS 1.1 and 1.0 connections seen from users was less than 1.5% of total TLS connections. There have been years of notice leading up to this. What internet forums filled with nerds would "rather see" isn't really relevant. I'm sure there were plenty of people worried about SSL 3.0, too, and the world didn't come to an end.
> So "how dangerous is the job?" seems relevant to me.

How does the comparative danger of fields change how dangerous something is? If someone said "Shaq is really tall", would a reasonable response be "No he isn't. Yao Ming is taller"?

> A large fraction of police deaths on the job are traffic accidents.

Yes, that is one way cops die. But this seems decidedly different contextually than the dangers faced by, say, pizza delivery drivers, who also frequently die in car accidents. Presumably, police officers die in car accidents because they are rushing to the scene of a crime or to a place where someone needs help. Pizza delivery drivers die in car accidents commonly because they are rushing to improve the tip they might get, or to be able to deliver more pizzas and get more tips.
For me it is being able to efficiently navigate a file without leaving the home row (Gotta learn touch typing first). Once you understand the commands follow a composable grammar it is really like a superpower for dancing around text.

„Go down 5 lines, move right two word, replace the contents of the brackets“. I don‘t use the actual editor all that often but have vim mode enabled in all my „real“ editors like VSCode or JetBrains Suite. I am often wondering how people do edit source efficiently without vim mode but I am too shy to ask.
Are you saying you do not believe Google and Microsoft are competitors? From office suites and chat apps to cloud services and gaming platforms, they have a lot of competing offerings.

Its not a scapegoat -- the CDC is extremely well-funded and has a singular mission -- and is doing a quantifiably terrible job. They downplayed the North America risk the first two months of 2020, utterly botched testing but still refused to allow private lab testing until the White House intervened, and they literally lied to the public about the efficacy of masks. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/03/us/cdc-coronavirus.html
Poverty also induces poor people into a sad state of mind where irrational decisions become the status quo. It's a mental prison.
For all of the arguments I've seen from people claiming we need to be free from government tyranny, that small government is good and that we should defend ourselves from corruption, all of that seems to go out the window when the discussion changes from government to police. Suddenly the state deciding to execute people is perfectly acceptable, destroying property is fine (they were probably criminals anyways) and locking people up without due process should be expected if you question authority.
The patent system in a nutshell, ladies and gentlemen.
> Yes, but you don't like, need that to be, I dunno, a complete programmer or person.

Yeah? I'm not sure how meaningful this argument is here since you can just get by with nano and a terminal.

> Which is how the "cult" (tongue-in-cheek) treats it, and why this person has FOMO.

I frequent the places that the "cultists" would most likely be and the prevailing theme is "if your workflow works, keep it, but emacs could do X for you".

> There are tons of examples of programming wizards and productivity gurus who don't use emacs.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean Emacs wouldn't make them less or more productive.

I don't think I've seen the "you need emacs" strawman your arguing against in practice.

> And you'll encounter lots of people who can't get shit done but who fiddle endlessly with emacs or vi or whatever configs and believe they have some super efficient direct connection from their brain to their computer.

Would those people be more or less productive without emacs? I find answering questions like this for myself difficult, I can't imagine trying to decide others would be better off not using an editor.

Isn't saying lots of people exist that would be more productive without the kind of presumption that annoyed you from the Emacs cult?

> Some of the best, most productive programmers I know use notepad, and some of the worst use emacs. ymmv.

Right, which is why I commented what the other user was missing and not "you need this".
IRC was free too..
Why are we repeating the past!
You basically just explained how REST works. :)

* Limits number of verbs to CRUD ones (HTTP).

* Makes every verb into a noun.

* Tightly couples HTTP-codes into your API.

* Requires creation of many endpoints you don't really need.

* Makes it awkward to have a single request that updates multiple different types of objects, or queries different types of data.

yeah, I don't want any of the above in my life.
One saying that I've always tried to apply to product development is a great insight from Mark Rosewater from designing Magic for twenty years:

"Your audience is good at recognizing problems and bad at solving them".

As soon as you presume that you know your customers problems better than you, you're in trouble, but it's totally appropriate to ignore the solutions they suggest to you.
yes. engineers almost always make poor product decisions if the customer is not also an engineering team, in my (vast) experience. this is because engineers aren't product experts. and if the customer is an engineering team, then engineers mostly make mediocre decisions, typically because of poor incentives (gaming story points).

in every company i've been at that is larger than a handful of people that all know each other, a separate product org is a requirement if you want a product with broad appeal.

i'm not sure what your complaint about the product backlog is. product people should be generating a large backlog. that is literally their job, is it not? it's only through a large backlog that you can say, hey we need more engineers. or hey, our vision doesn't match our capabilities -- refine it. and so on.

How exactly does a large backlog have a negative effect on velocity?

+1 to this, I only use GD for the interview questions. Furthermore, most people who search for jobs only start deep diving into companies after the offer has been extended. If you're interviewing them, then you've already passed the candidate's initial due diligence.
Fair, but the upfront price of a tape drive is $3-5k.

Ask HN: Can there be an open source homeschooling curriculum?
My wife and I have been reviewing homeschool curriculum for my daughter's upcoming 4th grade year. Here in Utah the laws are very relaxed around homeschooling: you can pretty much do whatever you want as long as you tell the state you are homeschooling. I'm not sure I love that, but it does allow for flexibility.

What we've been finding is that nearly all the high-rated courses are non-secular and we've decided we want to keep our kids in a secular curriculum. We've evaluated trying to edit the courses or pick-and-choose but it seems like in many of the offerings religion is so deeply-rooted in the work that it would be a very difficult undertaking.

My wife feels like the prospect of designing her own courses is very daunting and so it made me wonder if there has been any kind of effort to open source homeschool. Now more than ever it seems like a great time to have something like this available (we don't want our kids in a classroom while COVID is a concern). So far I've found mentions of open source schooling but nothing concrete or usable.

What I don't know is: what challenges might there be to creating such a thing? In Utah it seems very usable, but I'm sure each state has their own homeschooling requirements that maybe make this idea unlikely to take hold.
Wow this kinda blew my mind. I never knew there were tv sites like Hulu tv, or even YouTube tv...

And the prices! Outrageous. I’m glad I stick with Netflix.

Your comment does not directly contradict anything GP says yet your tone makes it seems like it does. If you are not sure what the percentages are your argument adds nothing to the conversation and in facts misleads readers into thinking that a significant amount of police can be considered heroes.
When (for example) ESPN charges like $9 per household, there’s no way to get 5 channels for $10 that includes ESPN. Sure you could get the shittiest 5 channels for $10 but what’s the point of that?

Until networks change their pricing model this a la carte option is not going to work out the way people hope.

Quarantime: Why the Days Drag and the Weeks Fly By
Question: Beyond aphantasiacs, could there be living humans who lack qualia altogether?

The Hard Problem of Consciousness™ is "how can a physical system generate qualia?", where "qualia" is something like "the internal and subjective component of sense perceptions", or "what it feels like to have experiences".

I once ran into a very intelligent person (philosophically trained) who genuinely didn't understand the Hard Problem of Consciousness, or what was even meant by qualia. It occurred to me during this conversation that there might be genuine instances of humans out there who lack qualia. As opposed to p-zombies (hypothetical humans who lack qualia but claim they have qualia), real life qualia-less humans might just find the notion of qualia nonsensical. Perhaps there are even people out there who understand what qualia is, and outright deny that they have it?

I would strongly recommend the book, "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving" - https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/isbn/0471135712/

It teaches you how to solve [math] problems, but not the kind you've seen in school. The author was a coach for the Mathematical Olympiad, and the kinds of problems he presents are creative, often requiring creative abstract lateral thinking to solve.

He won the USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) and was a member of the first American team to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 1974. Since 1985, he has composed and edited problems for several national math contests, including the USAMO and helped train several American IMO teams, most notably the 1994 "Dream Team" which, for the first time in history, achieved a perfect score.

I am usually keen to try new tools. However, with the limit of 250 active issues and hassles to archive old ones, not many open source projects will be able to use it. On the other hand, I can't recommend it in my BU/company unless I have evaluated it for full extent.

Consider, providing a free-tier for open source projects.
Your rhetoric tricks are a bit tiring. The question is not settled by saying that something is illegal. Of course book sharing is illegal under the current law, that's the whole point. The law in question is stupid. People who respect the concept of law and the importance of laws are outraged by this, and want to use the legal system to change this stupid law. Repeating that "book sharing is illegal" as you do leads nowhere.
We must have been using it incorrectly then, oh well. Good riddance Atlassian.

But then got his job and pension back with the full backing of his union[1][2]. This is what I mean by the system propping up bad cops. If the "vast majority" of cops are heroes, why are they supporting someone who has demonstrated a distinct lack of heroism? Isn't he making the rest of them look bad? Don't they care?

What's more interesting to me is that Google only has ~2M YouTube TV subscribers. Perhaps there's newer metrics now.

https://twitter.com/RichLightShed/status/1224454820309811202

That's nothing, and in my mind - doesn't bode well for the long-term prospects of the service.

I've been a subscriber for about a year, but with the price increases, and the interface on AppleTV that seemingly wants to always show me Tennis when I turn it on, and suggest I resume programs which were recorded 3-6 months ago, it's got a very long way to go before it's got the usability of TiVo.

At this price, they're pushing me back to cable TV with a locked promo rate.
They exist as good intentions which are then controlled by busy-bodies who destine lives to feed from state-administered family planning (I'd consider this in the same category as public welfare).
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I will watch this repository, but I think it will be another showman piece which will join the many other repositories that are forgotten about and left to go stale on Github.

Why? Well if you look at some of the contributors, they all have new accounts generated around June, and some have a history of creating fad'ish repositories, probably to massage their ego online.

This repository has some good content but also a lot of "weak" to "non-existent" examples.
Only downside is it is regularly overloaded during any moderately interesting sports event.
Why would you even break the photo? Steganography goes back hundreds of years before computers.

If it's been stable for you, that definitely works well but I found OpenSC to be unstable and required hotplugging the device and/or killing gpg-agent on a regular basis.

Mac users do have built-in support which works the same way with certificates and is more stable in my experience:

This is also why the safety of commercial air travel is (sometimes) overstated. Since most crashes happen on takeoff or landing, the risk profile of a 100-mile flight is about the same as for a 1000-mile flight, but on a per-mile basis the latter flight appears safer.

Deduping blogspam and re-reporting of AP/Reuters, and using that redundancy to uprank the original source, is something Facebook should have been doing a decade ago.

It should be more akin to https://techmeme.com (or hn for that matter) where they editorially try and choose the first or best source. If a better source becomes available they swap. Facebook could benefit from this dynamicness, where a story can bump and replace an existing post.
The email standard is the same as only accepting letters mailed using letterhead formatted in Arial font.

Something to keep in mind is that people looking for jobs really do not care about GD rankings at this point. I know that you want the best candidate but you can probably land really good candidates b/c the market is so flooded with strong engineers that are out of work. KeyValues highlights this in one of their newsletters but essentially the ball is completely in your court.

As far as I know, for the lowest level of Dutch judges, it's a matter of having the right education, some non-court experience, an impeccable legal record and approval from a committee. Judges for the Dutch supreme courts (most countries have several) are appointed by a process involving the supreme court itself, as well as parliament and the government. There can occasionally be some politics involved, but not nearly on the scale as in the US.

Back in ye olden tymes, you could count on some variant of it being everywhere. It’s lightweight, ubiquitous, and powerful. It’s way more powerful than default Windows tools.

The muscle memory aspect is significant too. I’m a suit now, but can still work magic with Vi years later. The faculty at my college pushed emacs hard, but customizations are missing on foreign machines, and the key combos were too awkward on normal keyboards (for me) and the skills wore off.
The recent conversation between Tom Bilyeu and Daniel Schmachtenberger is a great primer on this topic. Tom inquires about existential risk from a pragmatic, entrepreneurial point of view.

Ultimately there is enough evidence to make a decision already--the case of police brutality is nothing as invisible or insidious as something like the sexual assault or harassment revealed by the #MeToo movement.
