I mean, I know that for a small "hello world", you'll get an executable much larger than the source code.

But with a decent-sized program, full of header files and comments and config files and descriptive variable names and all the rest, there quickly comes a point where the executable is vastly smaller, no?

I really can't believe that the C/C++ source code for Windows (or Word or Photoshop or whatever) winds up compiling to a larger file size, can it?
As others have said, it's the export that's the issue.
I think you interpreted that comment backwards.

AirBnB properties have been performing terribly during the pandemic and many of those properties are no longer viable as short-term rentals and are now flooding the traditional rental market at discounted prices or the owners are scrambling to sell them before they default on their loans.
> NYC is open 24 hours a day.

The Vegas strip is open 24h. NYC isn't.
But it’s not. It’s funding more robots for the Mexican plants, which means fewer jobs for Mexican auto workers. So some workers will do better, others worse. And American consumers pay higher prices, so they are worse off.
The landlord provides the option to live somewhere with significantly less time or financial commitment than would be required if buying. The number isn't the landlord's parasitic decision, it's just economics.
What strikes me after reading about some of the compatibility issues they encountered is that the 128 bit pointers cause exactly the kind of portability problems that 64 bit pointers caused when they were new, and there were very few problems due to capabilities per se.
San Francisco is the fourth-most dense city in America (among cities with >75,000 residents). If you only count cities with >200,000 residents, it's the second-most dense city in America, behind NYC. Its overall density is 17k/mi2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

And if you look at entire metropolitan areas, rather than just cities, LA is actually the second-most dense metropolitan area in the country.

Meanwhile, Phoenix, Arizona has a population density of 2k/mi2, and is having a massive outbreak.

Public policy appears to be the determining factor in flattening the curve of COVID outbreaks, not density.
> It raises the cost of automobiles (that's why analyses project a reduction in automobile sales by a bit over a million vehicles per year)

What do new cars cost in the US? Does a price difference of $500 or $1000 really make someone say "all right, I'd rather do without a car"?
Conversion of debt to equity. The alternative was bankruptcy, triggered by the coronavirus crisis. Norwegian is privately founded and owned. No government involvement. No bailout.
The post doesn't justify the title, unless it's a metaphor about never giving up.
Another argument is that a conversation we are having today (nothing to hide and between friends) may be used against us in the future. It could also be used against your children.
FFTF has a campaign on this now as well that routes a call to each representative: https://www.noearnitact.org. The bill is voted on tomorrow, so today's the last day to get your voice heard.
My understanding is that these price crashes are largely happening in the VHCOL (very high cost of living) like NYC and SF. One of the dynamics at play in the VHCOL cities is that the rent is so expensive that the cost of moving, even if only for a few months, is fairly trivial in comparison. If you are paying $4k for a 1-bdrm apartment, packing your stuff up, putting it in storage, and moving into a short-term rental in a lower COL area is likely to be net positive in term of cash flow. Financially, this make less sense in more moderate COL areas unless the pandemic/lockdown goes on for much longer, or if you can work remote permanently.

So cities like Denver and Austin are probably not seeing as much outmigration, but are also probably seeing some immigration from the VHCOL areas.
So you are saying these bot accounts have opted in to receiving emails? You don't validate the email when someone signs up?
About the $40+ for the advice part - seriously, that is a few hours of developer salary. Compared to the few days it would take reading, it is essentially nothing.

Now the question is, investing those few days total saves you more worries. And doesn't derail you. That's hard to evaluate, and I don't attempt to. But for information, $40 is cheap.
Seems like a literal translation of Russian idiom meaning “skimmed through the text”.
Rstudio – Pending Legal Matter
Were these bought by folks looking to get a cheaper helicopter or bought officially and the price difference embezzled by someone?
I think a lot of airbnb is now technically sub-zero-income property. Glad to hear there is one less airbnb property out there, and congrats on the cheaper rent.

I'll put my other comment here as despite putting anything contentious, the mod here immediately locks my comments on housing related issues:

Correct. So rents fall yet we were told on hacker news over and over that zoning was the problem. That doesn't help, but airbnb was a huge, huge problem.
I took it to mean "unofficially and as an outsider".
Even without rent control, the "2 months free" offer earns them more revenue, assuming you stay over an year, so I doubt they would just give you the full discount.
Senior Front-End Engineer, Technical Lead

Location: NYC
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: Yes, West Coast or Northeast.
Technologies: React, Vue, Angular, TypeScript/ES6/Node
Résumé/CV: Please email
Email: hnjobs90@gmail.com

Hello, please forgive the throwaway. I'm a front-end engineer with a decade of experience building large-scale web applications for data visualization. I have a strong focus on team-building and mentoring. I believe in iterating quickly and working closely with product and design to build end-to-end solutions. Adept at architecting front-end applications and minimizing the symptoms of JavaScript fatigue. Looking for roles where I can apply my technical leadership skills and help build out productive teams.
How is the economy even functioning at this point? We have half of the country being unemployeed. I know that a lot of organizations are running on the bare minimum.. but this is extreme.
Broader angles show there are still plenty of physical controls in that F-35 cockpit, including on the HOTAS, which remains the primary control surface. https://youtu.be/hmnkcP-sJHk?t=521
Cities of the future. Here's my 1-minute pitch [0]:

Cities are inefficient, expensive and unsustainable.

We could build cities in a better way. Ten times better. But why it’s not happening?

$COMPANY will allow millions of people to pool money, resources and great design to build better cities.

Our first milestone, or Tesla Roadster, will be to collect 100 million dollars in pre-orders for the first $COMPANY village.

Builders, home buyers, and a 10x great design, as if you were building a city on Mars. And maybe Elon Musk will like to help us too!

Eventually we will build entire cities from scratch, to make housing affordable and clean for everyone.

I tried to build something like this already once, and failed, but I really want to make this happen, and I want you to believe in me. So, let' talk!

In literal Russian translation reading something in a diagonal direction (читать по диагонали) means reading quickly, without digging into it. I think proper English translation would be "to skim through".
I'm really curious what American left movements are going to remain after this. People finally realized #MeToo was mostly a partisan talking point thanks to Biden and BLM, yet again, became an anti-safety movement. Not a great state of affairs for an election year.
? A few minutes.
I find not including tax better tbh. That way people are being reminded how much tax they are with every purchase.
You're referring to the DC-DC converter, which powers/recharges the 12 volt system. You need to add a 12V->120V inverter to use the Volt as a generator.

This is possible on most hybrid/electric vehicles, e.g. https://pmarks.net/konapower
Isn't that most of them? Unless you assume they eat variable shipping by 'fronting' you a fixed price. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.
It means in a cursory manner.

edit: funny to see all that we all replied at the same time. Just to add to the conversation, "diagonal reading" is not just a Russian idiom, it also exists in French :)
I bet most of the information in this article was already known by others, mostly in the repair as well as the 3rd-party accessories businesses, and either wasn't publicised or was not in English. I still remember the announcement in a Chinese BBS a long time ago when the first company in Shenzhen cracked the protocol --- a few weeks after Apple started using Lightning.

Apple seems to like using 1-wire buses; here's another application of one: http://www.righto.com/2013/06/teardown-and-exploration-of-ma...
My biggest issue with Lightning is that it doesn't support HDMI over the cable. iPhones (and iPads) transmit an encoded stream to the Lighting to HDMI adapters which then gets decoded and converted to HDMI by a chip in the adapter. It adds encoding artifacts and latency.
You can build you own, manufacturing and selling them requires all kinds of hoops and certification. I believe if you build you have to do 51% of the work or it's not considered experimental.
Looks like information for the backend engineer is missing from the site.
I am in strong alignment with this comment. Our metrics for success need a serious makeover. Average wages per quartile or something of the population or something like that.
Maybe it helps you save. Saving is more important when you are poor since it's hard to save when cash is short.

I'm looking to work with a startup or a medium sized firm in a marketing/growth role. My past experience includes being the head of marketing and business development for a prominent consumer startup & various independent contributor roles in the performance marketing and social media marketing domain.
If anyone's wondering why the results started looking a tad more strange (and higher rate of unavailable domains on the list), it's because todays list was just processed over the course of the past. ~20min. Have some jobs spread out a little to be nice to the server and inconsistencies.

For the next who knows maybe hour or so, from this minute actually, you'll probably notice a few more than average domains one the list are already taken. Don't worry i've got my best robot people on it

What’s the consensus on interfacing w/ glass vs physical, esp with respect to haptics and usability in various conditions (warm/cold hands, gloves on/off, bright/dim lighting, combat situations...)?

Edit: /ht `mulmen for “combat” hint!
The scarf is an issue in the sense that it was a way for militant, political Islam groups to test the waters. Which has led in less than a generation to much more extreme ways to openly show support for radical Islam (including burkas or more commonly niqabs).

It's an issue because a nation, a society must have a common bond, a common culture. It's not a giant supermarket or a hotel.
This is why, at some point, a party in power needs to actually just change the metrics to be meaningful and "good", and thus lead to actual societal change.
No to take away from your point, which I think is valid, but the NYT in 1921 is _the_ Internet. We’ve gone from being starved for information to being overloaded. So really you’re comparing apples to oranges they just happen to be named the same thing.
Yeah right, these would be right at home next to all the other counterfeit crap they sell on AMZN.
I can confirm this, having been a recipient of such a letter from her office a few times.

Happy for the construction workers.

Less happy about the other 90% that will be running their gas guzzlers for hours on end beyond normal to power their camping lights or whatever.
How about a product that doesn't grow by accretion with the goal of acquiring new users or upselling existing users, but rather changes rarely and only in ways that benefit users?

The growth imperative required by VC funding is directly or indirectly to blame for all the awful things about Dropbox mentioned in https://tonsky.me/blog/syncthing/. It's difficult to see how a product like Syncthing would be of interest to VCs.

ActiveState | Full-time and Contract | REMOTE | Build Engineering roles | https://grnh.se/772329f92us

ActiveState Platform - made by developers for developers! We are reinventing build engineering with an on-demand SaaS Platform and CLI tool that lets developers automate the building of any runtime environment using any open source language ecosystem on any platform. In Beta right now, we support Python and Perl and we're hiring to add more languages and packages! We’re building an ambitious language distribution platform so that no engineer ever has to suffer dependency hell again, and we need your help to build it.

All of the positions listed have Build Engineer in the title, but these are for two different teams. The Build and Release Engineer position is more focused on fixing builds. The other positions are more coding focused.

I'm a Team Lead here at ActiveState, though none of the open positions are on my team right now. Please email me at autarch@urth.org if you have any questions.
Six months is pretty "overnight" for such a change.
Calling a democrat that won't even pretend to support blue team freedoms the "worst democrat" makes a lot of sense.

What is called "centrist" is nowhere near the center, but is actually straight up authoritarianism. If you look at both the blue team's and red team's grassroots messages, individuals are not happy with how much control the government exerts over us. Each political team markets a half-libertarian message and lures individual voters in by focusing on those gripes. They then channel their supporters' energy into going after the "other team", and "compromise" by enacting the fully authoritarian policies their sponsors paid for.
hilarious to the point of tears since we've been enabling the opposite for decades
The site terms and conditions are displayed very publicaly and accessible to anyone who cares to read them.

By entering your email address you are opting-in for transaction related emails, including new order confirmations, shipment notifications, and yes cart reminders. It's spelled out for you.

It's the same for almost every ecommerce site.

That's different than marketing emails, which require a separate explicit opt-in - ie. the user has to go and type their email address into another form and click "Sign up".

It doesn't get any more transparent than that.

Don't call something a dark pattern just because you can't be bothered to understand what you're consenting to when using someone else's website and start entering information like your email address or more. That's entirely on you.
Funny timing; I was considering whether I wanted to use their platform to try a concept or two and get "free" social support, but now I suppose I'll have to figure out handling that on my own.

Also wonder how much of this is business/cost optimization vs user-generated liability.
It's almost as if you didn't even imagine what a "no 'opposite side' per se" would even look like.

I think there's a LOT more room for nuance than "this" or "that" even among the ignorant and/or unengaged. Just look at sports-team divides in the US for evidence.
Yes... I sort of thought about that when writing that comment. It is difficult to show how "authentic" a comment is and its tone in the internet. I even thought of adding a smiley but after reading it thought it might emphasize a hidden meaning.

The reality for me is that I am really fine with that, and I really am curious about the motives. I stuck to HN policy of "interpret the comment a the best of the intentions" so did not worry about the possible bad reading.

From my POV it will be stupid of me to worry, get angry or anything at such types of comments. It happens in the internet and it was expected. In fact, that was not the only comment showing the "solution", but the one which I though might provide some light.

I apologize if the "undertone" of the comment seemed aggressive to you. (and hope this doesn't sound as well haha)
Usually you can only go after the leaker or anyone republishing the IP. Simply having access to it isn't a crime. Perhaps they could issue some sort of takedown notice for the schematics.
So you’re starting from the presupposition that British conservatives are racist and then trying to explain away evidence contrary to that presupposition.
Just a friendly FYI, the opposite of immigration is emigration.
Nationwide Voting Data in SQL
We created Dolt and DoltHub to distribute data more seamlessly, so users can acquire data with a query interface, not a bunch of CSVs. Open Elections is an amazing project for gathering voting data nationwide. We took that data, and created a nationwide SQL database. It's work in progress!
Awesome! Sent you an email.
I have a feature request - something to keep foreground from being the same colour as the background. Otherwise there is a lot of unreadable text.

Should have used a cryptographically secure PRNG.

The Mersenne Twister (for some reason still the default in many settings) has an insane period of 2^19937 − 1, but after observing 624 "random" values, you can recover the internal state and predict all the rest.

I think they are, it's harassment and mobbing. They should be prosecuted and given serious fines and in some cases jailed.
Andela, which builds engineering teams tapping African talent, goes remote
They probably colluded with state operators to funnel budgets for these things knowing they won’t ever be used.

This probably happens a lot everywhere with everything. It’s only a matter of time until a small town has a million dollar cloud services contract for their, you know, digital services and stuff (to backup files ... and stuff).
It sounds nice at first glance, but I don't think this argument holds up to scrutiny, because it could just as well equally apply to "companies other than Anker" manufacturing cables of this type, and the quality of a great many of those cables is almost notoriously terrible.
> 30% of my wages in taxes...

That seems a high rate for making $9/hour.
AWS doesn't close, which was the example.

The real reason stock markets close is because financial institutions are very interested in keeping it that way. It is lucrative to play pretend stock markets after hours.

(This is a very real question all over Europe right now, and it is interesting to see which institutions talk the loudest about how beneficial a shortening of opening hours would be to just about everyone.)
My guess is no, but it might make someone say "all right, I'd rather get a used car".
It is my understanding that the inherent handling characteristics of the 737 Max would have been acceptable under a new type certification, without MCAS. Is this incorrect?
Anybody who enjoyed this would likely enjoy the Fighter Jet Podcast by ex-Navy pilot Vincent Aiello. Each episode is an approximately 45 minute interview with a fighter jet pilot or other support crew, going step by step over pretty much any and every topic that relates.

Good point.

However, that also means that if there is a one-off drop of, say, 10%, then newspapers could report a "10% drop YOY" in 12 successive months.
> According to Zumper, the median rental price for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco fell 11.8% year over year, from $3,720 to $3,280, beating May’s 9% drop. The survey also reports a 1% uptick in national rents, with the average median apartment in the U.S. renting for $1,229 in June.

With even the most hardcore "you must work IN the office" companies switching to remote for at least another 6 months, and many probably staying that way, I don't see how more people aren't flocking out of SF. 3x the rent and a downtown slowly becoming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamsterdam there doesn't seem much keeping people there. The old argument of, "but that's where the jobs are" really isn't the case anymore.
Are you perhaps referring to mini USB? USB-C is already reversible.
Where can someone read up on these strategies/practices?
The costs you mentioned are associated with the building itself. However, in a city like SF, much of the rent is driven by land value, which has no such holding costs [0]. So they still have a lot of "free" income coming in, as owners of a government granted monopoly in perpetuity (sounds a lot like feudalism...).

[0] - Except property taxes, but CA caps their increase, so if you've owned the property for a while now, the tax isn't in line with the rent you can charge.
Is it solely to try to prevent third-party manufacturers? Is it for the cable to announce to the port that it supports certain specifications of power or data? (But why would that require a chip instead of just some kind of "dumb" extra pin that has some basic electrical property that can be read?) Is it something else?

My theory is that it started as the former and then they realised it would seem less suspicious and more friendly to also use it for the latter.
The travel bans will last as long as it takes for the US to get their pandemic under control, and given the current (lack of any) progress towards that outcome "forever" might not be much of an exaggeration.
In a nutshell, the answer is that the Lightning cables just seem simple, but they're not.
Most open-source, as well as most scientific work that gets published.

[edit: But these aren't sustainable businesses, necessarily, if that's what you're asking.]
> Does a price difference of $500 or $1000 really make someone say "all right, I'd rather do without a car"?

The answer to this is obviously yes if you think about it (assuming you're talking about deciding against buying a new car specifically). The question is how many people?
