History has plenty of examples of mobs ruining people's lives without due process. I'm not disagreeing that it's bad just that I don't think it's a new phenomenon or even worse than it used to be. The mobs used to kill you not just harass you.

Unfortunately, something within us seems to want to blame, shame, control and punish other people.
"YouTube TV sharply increases monthly subscription to $64.99"
> Of course there are ways that engineer around this, however they will exponential grow the complexity of your ontology, number of properties, and make for a terrible user experience for the annotators.

So, the obvious solution is to create robo-annotators, and that's what your company is supposedly trying to do?
The syntax looks well optimized for human editing.

The example seems like it would be machine generated though.

I hope the syntax learns from SQL, and allows for easy generation by either man or machine, preferably a little of both.
Though being dry doesn't diminish the value of the text, though. Very exciting.

I'd also be worried about ambiguity; humans can (sometimes) detect when they may be parsed the wrong way in context. I wonder if there will be a way to flag results that don't properly convey the data. How would that be integrated into the generator? (There's probably an answer in the literature.)

Lots of fun questions to explore.
For what it is worth, GitHub supports rendering AsciiDoc. You just have to name your files .adoc I instead of .md

Lisps were at the genesis of the original concept, it was called Lisp Machine, and the experience can still be replicated when using commercial Common Lisps like Allegro.

Finnish would likely work, though it would require very extensive rules on declinations. Some compound word and list rules are also fun... Finnish is rather liberal in word-order, but that's a simple fix.

What is hard in that the conjucts do not have unique identifiers in the example. That is an essential thing to have. As there is plenty of synonyms and meaning might change. Same applies to center.
Have to agree to this as well, and add another point of view.
I moved country about 1 year ago. Although I speak the language of the destination country I had trouble finding "where to look" for dev(robotics) jobs.

My first job was through recruiter page but my current job I got through a recruiter contacting me on LinkedIn. He even bumped my salary up by 15% from initial offer (because his cut was based on the salary and I also had another offer on the table).

It is a pretty valuable tool for a person moving countries for sure. Although I'm in Asia atm, I even got connected to a startup in SV while I were looking for jobs.
Yes indeed, it is recent (since 2020)
> I'm not engaging with your larger point, I'm just quibbling with you saying page 7 is wrong. I think that "takes" in the english description says that the temperature approaches the value over time, whereas you interpreted "takes" as referring to the temperature at every point in time.

I hear you, and I think we've probably approaching the end of the productive part of our conversation.

I do want to mention that the quote above, and interpretation of "takes" is exactly my larger point though. These definitions are all sloppy and prone to interpretation. Precise definitions would eliminate the need for all of this.

And since I can't help myself, thinking about this a little more, even your interpretation above is either faulty, or has to change the definition of "surrounding". If I have a point of average temperature, a doughnut or sphere of warmer points a small distance immediately around it and then the majority of all other points around that being colder, then the asymptote is actually towards the average of the of outer colder points, not the surrounding warmer points.
Hope the world never finds out how we get our driver's license.
Freedom of speech has much broader meaning than American first amendment. Pointing it out every time that private corporations can do what they want under American laws is same as saying the rest of the world doesn't have free speech because their laws or constitutions are different to America.
I think you could solve a lot of this problem by coming up with a legal framework for a digital first sale doctrine. If I buy a movie digitally, I need a way to legally sell it or, critically, rent it to someone else. Make that happen, and all of these digital rental services will suddenly increase their catalog a hundredfold. Netflix would do it overnight, since they already have a massive DVD warehouse and they'd just need to stop shipping the DVDs.
The person who took the video went to significant effort to ruin Emmanuel Cafferty’s life and it is a great shame that he has suffered no consequences from doing so.
From what I understand, most airlines are rotating the few remaining shifts. This way each pilot gets a couple of flights per month, which is enough to keep their ratings.

That said, since many airlines have completely stopped flying some plane types (particulary the A380 superjumbo), those pilots are going to have a problem soon.
Yes. I'm just saying it would be beneficial if there were a public alternative to services like Gmail, Youtube, Facebook, offered to the users at cost, and only moderated to the degree necessary to comply with the law. Perhaps in exchange for this "neutral media carrier" the user accounts should be linked to a Social Security number and with their real names attached to anything they publish.

Nobody blames the postal service for delivering racist newsletters or pirated DVDs or drugs. The responsibility lies solely on the user, who is prosecuted if their conduct exceeds the scope of the law. We need that for the internet.
I wonder if there would be a case for anti-monopoly action against Disney et al, if the US was into doing that kind of thing. If media libraries were split up they wouldn't be able to charge as much for the whole package. It would allow more nuanced negotiations between distributors and the studios.
(I am the CTO and Co-founder). I can reassure you this is not the case, I don't have visibility on when we will do an IPO and we grandfather all existing customers. We always did that and we still have customers today on 2013 pricing! It bring a lot of complexity internally.

We released this new pricing only because we are convinced this is better for customers.
So there are a lot of tickets that are trivial, or a bullshit job, or just really not fun but still need to get done and a manager/architect is perfectly capable of doing any of these. They SHOULD NOT be doing the big/hard/risky ones because that's not their job; they'll block the team or worse, steal the most rewarding work from those who deserve it. Senior non-ICs and BS tasks are a match made in heaven (for many reasons!)
Type deduction from right hand side expression is enough and that was stated in FAQ that they didn't want HM inference.

To make things interesting, can we add the following choice: wading chin-deep over a half-mile wide tract of land flooded with raw sewage, to reach a C compiler.
also keeping grain reserves was probably the killer application of ancient civilizations; (you can also read about that in the Bible - on Joseph and his brothers), being able to weather the occasional famine was probably worth much more than the increased risk of disease in crowded and dirty cities or the cost of bondage/servitude (in these times that is) - alternatively it may be that this perception was a matter of perceived risk vs. known risk; the certain risk of famine had more weight than the uncertain risk of disease and loss of freedom; hard to say.

But these are all speculations.

agreed on the anti-capitalist part but to the credit of HN the last time I commented on something related to Paul Graham I think I wrote a pretty harsh comment (IIRC it was about haters) and people weren't downvoting and the entire thread in fact was pretty dismissive of it, because it honestly was a pretty bad piece in an awful tone.

It's somewhat better here than say, on an average subreddit.
There's a growing demand in marine tech development and marine autonomous surface ships (MASS), which I've been following with interest. They generally need seafarers with an understanding of tech, and techies with an understanding of the sea.

If you're interested in going to sea, it depends on your background. If you want to work in the deck department, the simplest sector to get into is yachting; if you've got an electronics background (electrician/electrical engineer), you can often get a reduction in the sea-time requirement to become an electro-technical officer (ETO). Since there's a severe shortage of ETOs at the moment, that would be the best option. If you just want to get to sea ASAP, cruise ships always need IT folk to keep things running (well, not during the pandemic, but in normal times), and I volunteer with Mercy Ships (mercyships.org) who also always need IT folk (and electricians, plumbers, cooks, etc.), even during the pandemic.

You can track AIS near base stations on https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-12.0/cent...

If Evohe is a voluntary observing ship for the met bureau (many merchant ship are), you can track them deep-sea on https://sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml based on their last report (6-hourly reports). I hope that helps.

This is not exactly true, the previous free plan was 10k records and 100k API calls (counting all indexing operations and all search API call).

We now only count search request and we did a simulation on our existing free plan base, offering 10 units cover all of them.

Btw, we keep offering more quota for opensource projects.
The cancel culture in soviet union (i was a citizen) was very similar, more often than not you weren't shot in the head but you weren't accepted to university, couldn't get a goid job etc all because you or your parents shed the guilt of disagreeing with extremists communists. For the average person the culture was similar what were seeing today, during the Stalin times they preferred bullet or Siberia indeed.
Show HN: Apkutil – a useful utility for mobile security testing
I think this is actually a good point as to why streaming works so well. How often do people rewatch the same movies / tv shows? I know in my case those are in the single digits.

There's also the convenience factor. You're over at a friend's house and decide to watch a movie? Better hope you grabbed the dvd with you or that he has one. Just discovered something you wanted to see? Have to wait a day or two or drive to the store to get it. Oh, not what you expected and get bored after ten minutes? Tough, you won't get your money back.

Doing drug development without animal testing is like trying to modify a huge, messy, legacy code base without integration tests.

Our computer models are like unit tests. They are relatively self-contained and quick to run. However, they cannot test all the interactions and stuff we do t know about, so we have animal testing as a kind of integration test to make sure stuff works like expected.

And a phase 3 clinical trial is like pre-prod. When you think everything works, you expose test it in the real world with very careful monitoring and plan to keep it from going out into prod if problems are found.

The Discover section on the front page is good for this: https://bandcamp.com/#discover

You can sort by genre and a few other variables, but I leave it on the default settings and listen to anything that seems interesting, one page at a time. The Discover section is available on the android app, but it doesn't give me the same feeling that I'm rummaging through a record store.
“The Dropbox app for Macintosh...” seems like a very lame overreach.
Some background information about the JIT in PHP: it was clear from the start that it wouldn't affect classic web applications all that much, since there's not a lot of "hot code" to be found over there, especially since by default PHP doesn't use any long running processes to handle requests.

There are some benchmarks out there that claim the JIT has an immense impact on PHP performance, but these only measure specific code samples in isolation. The JIT _can_ open doors for PHP to venture into new areas of programming, but we shouldn't expect it to significantly impact our day-to-day web programming.

I love bandcamp. Just the other day I read some reviews of the new Jessie Ware album. She's a fairly mainstream, moderately successful pop artist from the UK. I thought ... no way she's on Bandcamp. But ... there it was, her brand new album, available in FLAC, ogg, whatever. Bandcamp is the union of everything that was good about the original mp3.com and cdbaby.

ps. if you like 80s sophisticated disco, that Jessie Ware album "What's Your Pleasure" is totally awesome.
Hello from Japanese internet.
Prices are going up because there is no competition. All these services have different selections of content, and paradoxically the more of them there are, the smaller the slice each one gets, and the more services you need to subscribe to in order to have a well rounded selection. If you are fine with the old model, where the station picks your programming for you, then this model is an on demand continuation of that, but if you would like a model like in music streaming where all services carry mostly the same content but provide a different UX, you are out of luck.

I’m currently subscribed to four streaming services, and disney hasn’t even launched in my area. It is too much. I’m going to get rid of a few, and just start pirating content again. There are many shows and movies I can’t get on any streaming service anyway, but the pirate bay carries them all in bluray quality.
I've been using it about 8 years at work, and don't mind if they take another year, it'll take a while to work into large code bases anyway. Personally I've felt generics as a lack but not a huge unfillable hole, and prefer language stability to churn, so am completely fine with it taking time to add large features. I'm pleased with the evolution of the generics proposal so far - it's getting simpler and more transparent.

I really wish in their mooted Go 2 they could just remove some features, as listed above, rather than add some. Perhaps everyone prefers a slightly different subset of the language though so that isn't really possible.
Good question. My sources were oral; I'll see what I can dig up this weekend.

Oh, OK. But all of your examples are open source programs. And there is a reason I only run open source programs on the desktop (except maybe for a driver or two, I guess, possibly). I'm not afraid that Vim is scraping my clipboard and selling the contents to an advertising firm. Because it’s not.
> And yet, recruitment's still here, more or less unchanged. At this point I'm pretty sure recruitment has always been terrible, and will always be terrible. There's some perverse incentive buried deep in the process that can't be shaken out. Or something.

It probably won’t be solved by tech folk as it’s a squishy people problem that’s hard to quantify (case in point: threads on HN bemoaning robotic HR processes att FAANG)
You seem pretty moved by this discussion. What is your use case that is broken by protecting the clipboard and filesystem?

using the components in the UIKit and AppKit SDKs

Yes, if you want to provide a native feel, with native features like clipboards, and native accessibility features, use the native widgets. They usually tend to be stylable any way you want (my UI experience is with HTML, Qt, Swing, Win32, Winforms, and Gtk; I'd be very surprised if Android and iOS don't support widget styling). Just like on the web, it's a big problem when people reimplement a text input box from scratch.

operating systems should not support programmatic access to the filesystem.

This is the direction desktops are going, and it's where Android and iOS started. I shouldn't have to give a chat app access to all of my photos, videos, music, and documents just to let it download messages. And to upload a photo, both Android and iOS provide system file pickers. Desktop/laptop OS sandboxes should also provide file pickers to give an app access to one file or one directory.

An app doesn't need to access my clipboard until I'm trying to paste something in that app, or I know that it does something useful (and nothing nefarious) with clipboard snooping. It looks like iOS has provided clipboard notification events for different media types so that apps can show a Paste button without having to read the actual contents until the user is ready.
I don't remember Microsoft ever being this obnoxiously in-your-face.

Are anyone’s rights to free speech actually threatened? Or is there just backlash from the public.

I’ve noticed how this “You take away my free speech when I get backlash when I speak some idea that is now interpreted as X-phobic or harmful” argument seems to pop up among during movements that cause painful resistant power shifts.

also this....

“Personally, I think adding trans performers would breathe life into Drag Race. But I’m a viewer, and I don’t get to decide that. The point is that RuPaul’s Drag Race is RuPaul’s show, and we don’t get to scream and cry and throw tantrums until he changes his own show.“

.... but what about free speech you were just arguing for?

why don’t people get to scream and cry?

This appears to be conservative grief masked as liberally tolerant protection of free speech.
The issue is not about making a political statement.

As an individual, you should always have that right.

Both the New York Times and Breitbart are purveyors of propaganda for their respective political parties. They literally do nothing but make massively biased political statements, all day long.

Imagine you work there, and you disagree.

You can totally try to change that from within. Fight the system.

Work your way up. And once you have sufficient stature within the organization, you can run, say, an article praising George Washington on the front of the NYT, or a piece condemning him on Breitbart.

But, you, as a journalist, are a public face for your respective brand, and as such, you will likely face disciplinary action for going against the brand image.

It doesn't mean you can't make a statement.

But when you leverage your employer's platform to do so, there are going to be consequences.

Now, if you use your own megaphone, you absolutely deserve protection from being fired!

Build your Twitter/Instagram/Facebook following, and preach as much as you'd like. You built it. It's yours.

That's the reality of being a public figure. You are paid to be part of a brand image.

Tell me where I'm wrong on this. Or where you think we should draw the line. I'm happy to hear other opinions.
Modern two engine aircraft are amazingly reliable, but there are rare cases where they have lost both engines. BA Flight 38 crash landed on approach to Heathrow due to ice in the fuel clogging heat exchangers for both engines.

Pretty good. I've been 'upgraded' a number of times on KL691/692 to and from Toronto when I ran a small multinational and shifted every week between Toronto and Amsterdam. The flight on a 747 compared to smaller planes is already much better, and on the upper deck the food; chair and room were several notches above anything else I've experienced on board of aircraft.

Prevalence of Markdown is to a certain extent accidental. It is one of those many markup languages that are easy-enough to reimplement which helped with the spread and I think it was supported on Github early on.

If you listen carefully, History Channel doesn't actually say that. (implied heavily, and maybe it was different in earlier seasons, but I think "Ancient Aliens" ought to be required viewing for anglophone school children[1], because each episode starts from presenting factual information and slowly works its way towards very carefully hedged wild "conclusions"[2]. as with the sorites paradox the question to keep in mind while viewing is: when does the shark jump occur?)
