That's not the case I was describing. By intend to cancel, I mean during the free trial period. However, how is a "subscription you intend to cancel" case different from a "free trial you decided you didn't like and forgot to cancel" case, as far as paid subscription management?

For example, CBS All Access had a free trial a few months back which had Picard on it. The monthly fee was nominal and it looked like they had a few shows I might like so I entered the free trial period. After finishing Picard, I tried a few other offerings from the service during the free trial and realized none of them were to my satisfaction. Therefore, I intended to cancel but forgot. Surprise, next monthly billing cycle I see a charge on my card.

So, if the point of the use case of a free trial period is to offer a free trial to evaluate a service and decide if you'd like to continue but prevent you from paying a fee to "test drive," then the upfront payment authorization fails at this for many people who don't instantly cancel the second they decide they don't or may not want the service (but aren't sure yet), or be sure to do so before the free trial ends.

All and all, I would argue the up front authorization free trial case often grabs a subset of the free trial accounts into a full cycle of payment. It also likely grabs those less attentive to longer periods of payment for services they're not using. So free trials are often crafted to prey on these situations, which I typically tend to avoid.
That was my thought exactly! Other equipment like this generally doesn't track miles but hours. Need to know both in this instance.
Just saying "purely functional SPAs" was lazy, but it's usually enough to convey what makes Hyperapp different from other frameworks like React, etc. Let me try harder.

There's no native API for representing apps as finite-state-machines (Moore style) [1]. Admittedly, we could do a better job at explaining why you should care.

Hyperapp actions (Elm messages) correspond directly to FSM "events". Hyperapp effects (Elm commands) correspond directly to FSM "actions". The "single-global-state" corresponds to the fact that an FSM is always in just one of a number of "states".

Hyperapp is FSM architecture for JavaScript apps.

It is also bundled with a VDOM implementation optimized for immutability, e.g., you must derive your UI from the state, can't produce uncontrolled side effects, and can't use traditional DOM events, instead you think of every UI interaction as a state transition.

One more cool thing about Hyperapp is subscriptions. An abstraction to toggeable event streams: think bidirectional effects, e.g., global mouse/keyboard events, time, animation frames, geolocation.

"New England" IPAs aren't overly hopped, have more of a citrus character, and are not as astringent as classic IPAs. I don't like super-hopped beers, but I like NEIPAs. But they're definitely "trendy" at the moment.

New England is much more heavily influenced by Ireland and the UK, and I think that's why we don't get many good examples of continental styles around here. I also suspect that a lot of people who move from a brewing hobby to a brewing business have a lot more experience with ales, and less experience with lagers.

I've never had an excellent hefeweizen made outside of Germany.
Apologies - I didn't even realize that the epigraph expressed some of the equations in terms of flux density! That's what those extra terms mean! I did actually include an explanation of what flux is and how to intuitively derive it within the guide, and you can find it near the integral explanations. Hopefully that helps!
One other reason is it gives people an opportunity to pay for the product off of the app store platform. Apple wants to be the one to manage your free trials on their platform, otherwise people could implement paywalls to sign up through a site that doesn't give apple 30% of revenue.

> Yeah, we investigated that route, but on stateless containers it seemed really cumbersome?

I agree, it could be cumbersome without something to manage the secrets. I use OpenShift / k8s at work so injecting these secrets is trivial.
I love the idea: in particular, the arbitrary molecule generation. I've been thinking about is using the mechanical structures already provided by DNA to generate antibodies by reading the DNA tape in the same way that human cells assemble proteins. But it would be great to find a more general solution based on chemical computation that doesn't rely on and isn't limited by organic chemistry.
QM can be understood intuitively, the problem is we are still teaching the bullshit 'wave particle duality' when we basically know that fields are what is real.

There's also no such thing as 'observation'. Fields interact by a precise and well-tested mathematical function. That function does have the effect of mutating the state, but why should there be such a thing as pure observation? There's nothing magic about conscious observation.
there is no such thing as "regular people's interest". everyone's interest is a little bit different.

Ask HN: How to drive up employee/intern morale in an online working environment?
Transitioning into the online working environment could be tough, especially in a startup environment with not a lot of structure in place. I was able to quickly adapt within 2-3 weeks of work. However, that wasn't the case for some of our employees and interns.

To all startup founders and HR managers here on Hacker News, I would love to seek some advice on how you approach a situation like this. If you have any tips, guides, or even successful case study you have implemented for your company, i would love to further connect and learn more from you.

> Do people actually run Windows containers successfully?

Yes, it's been done. Cloud Foundry has done it for a while and Kubernetes can do it as well.

It's not easy. Earlier versions of Windows didn't expose APIs suitable for partitioning resources and information in the sense that we think of as containers, so a great deal of hackery was needed to sorta-kinda-but-not-really recreate the experience. Later versions were better, but still lots of hackery was required. In my understanding it's only the latest versions of Windows that make it possible to "containerise" on par with Linux.

Part of the difficulty has been that there's a very long lag between "we need Windows to do X", to "Windows version 4000 now achieves X", to discovering that actually it doesn't really do X, to "Windows 5000 now achieves Y", to "and customers have actually installed it and retired Windows 3000 and 4000". That loop can be more than a decade and it imposes enormous overheads onto anyone proposing to support Windows containerisation as a platform capability.

Meanwhile in Linux-land, stuff lands in the kernel much sooner and arrives in release-ready form much sooner. What I've seen (anecdotally) is that there is a sudden step change in Microsoft platforms from .NET to .NET Core. Folks want containers, badly, and Core gets them there with much less fuss.

> Not for coding. The resolution just isn't there yet.

Spoken like someone who hasn't programmed in VR yet.

I don't think you'll be programming any operating systems in VR anytime soon, but there is still a lot of programming, specifically object scripting, that could be done in VR. A number of people--including myself--have built demos that prove out the concept.

One of the reasons is that text legibility is not strictly about display resolution. Motion within the view improves legibility significantly. Yes, the fonts render to very large pixels. But the specific pixels they render to are constantly changing. Your brain fuses those images over time. I'm not able to find the paper right now, but the US Navy did a study that proved pilot visual acuity improved when they were in a dynamic scenario. The study performed a visual acuity test where pilots had to identify letters in view from within a flight simulator. One group had full use of the simulator in motion, one was told the simulator motion systems were broken, but they still sat in it to perform the same test rendered on the same screen.

And as you said, larger fonts are easier to read. There is a lot of spatial resolution in VR that is not used very often. You're used to thinking about organizing your code on a 2D display, but you have an entire 3D environment around you. That environment could be a zoomable interface where code editors are linked to live objects. Use individual editors for individual code units. Organize them in a tree structure linked to the object. Trees organizers are a lot easier to navigate in 3D than on a 2D screen, especially if you eliminate window scrolling.

Window scrolling was created to account for the limited spatial resolution of 2D displays. But in the process, you lose spatial memory of where things are located. Things like windows and tabs and desktop workspaces were invented to try to wrangle that problem more, but they are not as good as a real, spatial filing system.

Think about it. You probably know exactly where your favorite book is on your bookshelf. You could probably walk over to it and pick it off the shelf without even opening your eyes. But there is very little chance you can pick any particular file you want in a 2D GUI system, specifically because of the absence of spatial relationships.

So a combination of "text legibility is not as bad as you think it is" and "code could be a lot more organized than it is on 2D displays" means that programming in VR is a lot better than you're making it out to be.

I do not need to coast underworked "just in case" -- I do not idle very well, it makes me restless.

The 600 watt Electric Heater listed under "Football Tailgating" is a little suspicious. Don't they all pull 1,500 watts on max output?

Makes me question all the other numbers for equipment I know nothing about.

Edit: I looked and apparently they do make 600 watt space heaters. I'm leaving the comment because I still think it's a bad example.
I never said it did.

But marking your engineers' spare time as donated since your contract owns everything they produce anyway, and selling chips at cost and marking the profit as a donation when you were probably going to take a loss on them does in fact net you ahead.
One of the groups that signed on for updates on such laws sent me a link over SMS. It automated calling 22 senators to ask them to reject Earn IT. I spoke to staff or left messages with 20. Two had full voicemail. One of this was my local rep, Feinstein. Figures.

Earn It act is adorable little attempt at institutional police state policy.

One would argue that terrorists will simply use other inventive ways to get around lack of main stream encrypted tech (and they will). Or that a back door for the govt is a back door for anyone (which is true). Both are logical points.

I posit that this is known among backers of Earn It - they're not that dumb. Therefore, this isn't about child porn or terrorists, its about dissenters of established institutions (government, corporations, media, etc). That's the move - the "party of Davos" sees the populist wave from both left and right (AOC, Bernie, BLM, Trump, Bannon, etc) and this how they think they will stop it.

The next AOC, BLM, or any populist movement will be labeled as threats to the established order, maybe as domestic terrorists. With Earn It, you can see who they organize with, when they meet, how they strategize, etc. This is COINTELPRO with smart phones [1]. Very slick, very effective. It's what I would do in their shoes.

The only flaw is that it is poorly marketed. It's so transparent, it's cute.

J Edgar Hoover is smiling somewhere in the after life.

Do yourself a favor, treat your phone and email like CIA recording device. We'll be fine.

I don't think that's exactly what eggsnbacon1 was saying.

It may be true that all kinds of immigration greatly benefit host countries in the long term, but this is more debatable than that allowing wealthy, liberal, educated immigrants is a net benefit to host countries.

We can argue about the long-term benefits of open borders. I don't believe eggsnbacon1 was stating a position there--more like pointing out that there are some short-term costs that generate popular pushback. But ushering in the cream of the crop is obviously beneficial; it's a no-brainer.

I meant "and" as you guessed (I think?).

Everyone vowed to vote out the representatives that bailed out Wall Street and left home owners holding the bag. Then whatever came along and poof, that didn't matter.

Same (and more importantly) with the Iraq war. IMO, you voted for it, you're out. Doesn't matter why, doesn't matter what you believed at the time, you're out.

There's been zero accountability on death and destruction on the grandest scale this century, so I don't expect anyone to remotely lift a finger about some IT bill.
I think I'm getting annoyed at the way you're framing it that the indie game development would be relaxing. Why assume that the commenter would want as their goal to make a game that nobody wants to play?

Why assume they are saying "I am sure I would make no money", when it could be "I can't be sure that I would make enough money"?

Assume they want to make a game that people like, then it becomes volunteer work that has economic value, in as much as people often pay for games they like.

> "Again, the issue is them wanting to be supported by others. Taking, but not providing when you can. If they can completely sustain themselves, that's great."

They have to do with the behaviour of the electromagnetic field inside of different materials: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_displacement_field , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field#The_H-field

To get Maxwell's equations in a vacuum, just replace D with εₒE and replace H with B/μₒ.
Lesser evils aren't inevitable; they're a product of a bad voting system.

Other countries with other systems don't really do much better.

The fundamental problem is that the people who want this sort of power are the last ones who should ever be allowed to wield it. When people are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get a job that pays $500K a year, you have to wonder what's really going on.
Same could be said of Antifa, though instead of being 2a that unites, it's just hatred of fascism.

I have experience only with the Very Large Telescope run by ESO in Chile, maybe what I write is only valid there.

There is usually no real schedule of targets for ground-based telescopes.
There are two ways chosen at the telescope: either the astronomer who wrote the application is sitting there and decides what to do, or the staff goes through a list of approved programs and looks for objects that can be observed. This depends on the constraints described in the program (usually atmospheric conditions and height of object above horizon). Which target is chosen next is usually decided during the observation of the last target, there is no real schedule.

This is of course different for robotic telescopes (which is absolutely not the standard), like the Hubble Space Telescope but also ground-based robotic telescopes. But I'm not aware of a live feed of the pointing coordinates for them.

What one could do is regularly query the ESO archive[1] as finished observations appear there immediately (I think) and contain coordinates (just enter night: "2020 01 01" and maybe chose type: object).

In case of the Hubble Space Telescope and also ESO's telescopes, you write a proposal containing the science case, the requested time and instruments, and related previous experience, submit it before a deadline (twice each year for ESO) and hope for the best. The acceptance rate for the HST is currently ~20% [2]. It's a bit better for ESO telescopes. If you are successful you do not have to pay anything. ESO even pays your flight and hotel next to the telescopes in the middle of a desert [3].

The situation is totally different for American telescopes (as far as I know), where you either belong to an institution that has telescope time or not.
