I think the NHS was at one point very good, especially in terms of price/performance ratio. What you see now is the result of over a decade of governments that have a fundamental antipathy towards any kind of public service, and who consider the NHS as an obstacle that must be torn down before a more private system can be established. The difference in quality of care is visible, and the policies the system must work under essentially amount to sabotage.

Loopring is interesting, thanks for passing that along.

Even with the options on ethereum, Tether alternatives, etc. involvement with cryptocurrencies has high risk for someone who doesn't have a strong understanding of how it all works at a technical level, which is what the parent comment stated.
Realistically the actual competitors of America here are Canada, the UK and Europe more generally.

I suspect that a lot of this immigration is both the desire for high-paying jobs and to live in a (slightly) more stable country.
If you believe that Network Solutions will be around and in the domain business long term, you can have them handle it for you.

They offer 20 and 100 year "registration". I put registration in quotes because the max underlying registration is still only 10 years. They implement 20 and 100 year registration by registering for 10 years and then extending that one year per year.

The 100 year "registration" used to even be a good deal. It was $999, which for .com and .net and .org brought the effective per year price down to around what the cheaper registrars charged and locked it in.

I actually thought of using it for my domain, until I remembered that I'll be long dead before getting anywhere near even half of that time out of it. Even taking into account likely price increases in year by year registration at the cheap places, which make the break even point for $999/100 years much earlier than 100 years, I was unlikely to be around that long.

100 years is now $2000, making it a much less interesting deal. Still, assuming a modest annual increase at the cheap registrars it still does eventually win so if you are going to need the domain a long time it might actually be worth it (if you are confident NS will last that long), and does make it so you don't have to think about the problem for another 100 years.

The 20 year option, also for $20/year, is almost certainly not worth it unless not having to worry about renewal for 20 years is an overwhelming concern for you. The prices at the cheaper registrars are probably unlikely to rise fast enough to make the break even for $20/year less that 20 years out, assuming you start with a 10 year registration now so that the current ~$10/year is locked in for 10 years.
Downvoted for providing a relevant fact as well as an observation? Gee thanks
Why not compare it to a instead to a contemporary competitor - Nomad - which has simplicity as a core value? It has _far_ fewer moving parts than Kubernetes.

Actually included both words without me quoting them - I wish DDG did that - you normally need to search for "gcc" "cmov".

If you're mildly vitamin D deficient, you would probably want to take an additional 1000 IU per day in addition to the 1000 IU in your multivitamin. It's safe for most people to take up to 4000 IU per day, but unless you've been tested and know you're severely deficient then I wouldn't take more than 2000 IU total per day. Then just keep checking your blood pressure over the next 6 weeks and see what happens.

FYI, international students have to pay often significantly more as turion fee alone.

Smart local students go to in state public schools to avoid crippling debt.
> More than once I have seen a peer or a whole engineering department of brilliant people going down a technical rabbit hole for weeks for intellectual satisfaction, where instead I will just take a step back, walk to the manager and try to work a different take for a solution that can be implemented in a few hours/days even if the business goal is slightly moved.

What do you do when management doesn't want to move their business goal? Now you look like you're incompetent and incapable of just doing the damn thing they asked for.

Asking rhetorically, not as criticism, but because I've been there and it fucking sucks when the people who aren't working on the problem think they might have a better understanding of the big picture than they do.
Well, except aren't foreign students essentially subsidizing local students? Since they receive substantially less financial aid and often pay the full price of tuition. [1]

So when all of that money goes away, tuition rises and local students get less financial aid. Or said universities and colleges downsize, reducing the number of professors and students attending which means fewer local students get to go to college.

This seems like a 'cut your nose to spite your face' sort of reaction fueled entirely by xenophobia rather than any sort of rational basis.

It's not really for autofocus. For autofocus, you need a model that can detect blurred images. You also need to operate on 36-42 bit data.

Furthermore, autofocus has already progressed from face detection to eye detection.

In all seriousness, you make a reasonable argument, but tinkering existed well before the age of Flash. Now, won't something else fill the role?

China and AI: What the World Can Learn and What It Should Be Wary Of
> Surprisingly (to me at least) that is the feature that resonates the most with non-technical users. A lot of people use Google just as a navigational tool to go to a website they know about. This saves them a step for some highly popular websites, but your point is still well taken.

And I think that's the crux of the confusion here. HN users are on the more technical side and it seems you've covered some of the technical search terms well.

I think it would help to pick a target demographic and focus on that. For Google that's non-technical or low-technical users, which leaves many others scratching their heads as more advanced search features start disappearing and junk content ranks higher and higher every year. I don't think it's possible to please all demographics simultaneously.
>It’s like a sports team: you have the ability to draft the top players from around the world for cheap. Why would you decide to boycott the draft itself and let the competitors (India, China) take those players? Especially some players that you have already trained (graduated students, post docs)

You're thinking about it from the wrong perspective. The people who are anti-immigration are anti-immigration because they personally might be negatively impacted (in terms of losing jobs or getting lower wages), even if it means the country as a whole is better off. Seeing the US GDP grow 30% faster is little consolation to you when you've lost your job to immigrants (or at least, you thought that you did). Going back to the sports team analogy, it'd be great if your team drafted the best international players and won, but what if that resulted in you getting kicked off the team, or sidelined most of the season?
Undoing the mess that was H1B was probably a good thing (provided an alternative path for professionals to immigrate without forcing them into indentured servitude becomes available) but this just seems stupid.

The only good thing about is that it could change the way universities think about tuition? I don’t even understand the argument for why the students are being sent home. It spreads the virus around (people crossing borders is pretty bad for that) and if they were allowed here in the first place why are they being sent home now?
I agree, except instead of 'mediocre' I'd use 'competent'.

As long as technical wizardry doesn't add significant value, or it isn't essential to the business, most companies would rather not pay for it. They believe they don't need experts. And most computing folks at most companies know that rising technically is not the way to advance your career. If it were, more companies would be crying out to hire experienced 'expert' 50 year olds. But they're not.

From what I've seen, expertise is overrated. And competence is underrated. Adding real value to an enterprise comes from achieving multiple avenues of competence (technical, business, social, etc), and then anticipating the needs of the enterprise before experts have to be drafted to rescue a misdirected effort (or a disaster that never should have happened if sufficient competence had been employed).

A lack of emphasis on expertise is probably a good thing. Answering clever interview questions well, like taking tests well, is at best a surrogate measure for street smarts -- the skills that really matter outside academe.

Emulation just means running it on hardware it wasn't intended. That runs the spectrum between ISA emulators like Dolphin, software RTL simulators like verilator, and FPGAs can certainly be used for emulation if the design wasn't really intended for them as the real end goal.

There's also an interesting point in that spectrum of the cadence/synopsys hardware emulators. They run in a rack sized device composed of a bunch of FPGAs and arrays of custom ascetic processor cores that can only do logic and branch ops to run HDL for SoC sized designs at ~1-10MHz.
Show HN: FastIcon – Generate Icons for your mobile app with ease
Hi, I built FastIcon. I am developing mobile apps and one thing I realize is that I need to render each icon size using either Illustrator or Photoshop which I think is tedious enough for me. So, I hope this app can help ease the problem and concentrate more on shipping the mobile app product. Any feature request, feedback, please send to sawir.ricardo@gmail.com. Thank you.
Wait, so can you explain what exactly was awful about those screenshots? I'm genuinely interested since I don't see anything horribly wrong with them (aside from some dated gradients).
Do you really live in a world where Big Pharam is a force for good?

I live in a world where many of my friends and even my father was killed in cold blood by that system in its blind pursuit of profit over health and honesty.

The number of people harmed by perscription drugs when there are less damaging, and often times natural and cheaply available and more effective, non-patented treatments is astronomical and ongoing.
No cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, nutmeg, star anise are ingredients common to every spice rack and every grocery store's spice aisle in the English speaking world. Even one of Starbucks most popular drinks is a "Spiced Pumpkin Latte" which consists of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, served over ice. During the European Age of Discovery the "Spice Island" i.e the Molucas in what is now Indonesia were so important because they were the source of nutmeg and cloves. Spice is added to food for either flavor or aroma. Heat is a sensation, its felt. Lastly Capsaicin - the compound in the ribs and oil of peppers doesn't add flavor just a sensation. There is no such thing as a salty, sweet or bitter heat. And it's not just English, in Spanish something that had heat such as a hot salsa would be considered "piquante" but not spicy.
RISC-V could be a pretty good ISA, if only it came with a popcount instruction. Given popcount, it is easy to compose a whole range of other essential operations with just one or two more instructions. Without, you are stuck running two dozen instructions just to get to the first step.

Is the RISC-V evolutionary process capable of processing small-sized, incremental improvements? Or are only big "extension" instruction families even possible?
Every technical blog post is these days, all just part of one massive content strategy grift. It's tiring. I miss the old days of good technical writers writing useful blog posts which people read and appreciated.
Yeah, and I checked a few whois history sites and the domain had been registered with Mark Monitor as the registrar. That's a major mistake on their [MarkMonitor's] part.

Edit: clarified that I meant the error seems to be on MM's side.
That's kind of the point though.

You are free to believe whatever you want.

If I come along and assert you're wrong for believing that, I must prove why. Otherwise, I'm just rejecting your belief and inserting my own belief.

But story points are estimates. Estimates are never set in stone. I’ve successfully argued this many times in the past. Software development is too complex for estimates to be always correct.

> My main qualm about REST is the number of inputs for doing something: Path variables, query variables, POST input, headers and for shits and giggles the Http METHOD.

As a sibling comment has already extensively described why this is the way it is, I want to add one more thing: REST is a set of principles leveraging what already exists in HTTP. And HTTP gives you a lot. Here's an extensive HTTP decision diagram with links to explanations on basically everything: https://github.com/for-GET/http-decision-diagram/tree/master...

Caching? HTTP got you covered. Editing conflicts? HTTP got you covered. A decision path for auth? HTTP got you covered. No-op requests? HTTP got you covered.

Meanwhile GraphQL libs are busy reimplementing half of HTTP spec inside a single POST request.

It's not gnome's own engine at all, it's the forked-a-long-time-ago from KDE's KHTML, adopted by Apple and significantly improved internally under the WebCore project/framework with changes shared from time to time with KDE devs before it was hard-forked as webkit and developed more in the open, then adopted by Chrome/Chromium (before Google hard-forked and renamed it to blink), with gnomifications for integrations and wrappers for the GTK userland.
Talking to voters is always a good idea, of course. I'm fairly sure that quite a few white voters would want to similarly disabuse us both of this notion that they only vote based on pure tribal loyalty, and don't actually care about their broader interests, however construed.
That folks should be skeptical and perform due diligence? Many similar things have been said about the recent rise in amateur options trading on the normal stock market. It's fine if the person knows and accepts the potential consequences, which amateurs visiting a link aggregator/forum should be explicitly warned against.
With RH/IBM IBM certainly wants to leverage the RH brand and separate it a bit from the IBM brand, while leveraging customers and technologies across the company.

Suse's current owner won't have much synergies between Suse and their real estate business (except that Suse probably rents office space there) You don't do deals like "rent an apartment, get a Suse license for free" Thus Suse, under obersight can likely set their business strategy and objectives more freely.
What a world we now live in where decisions not to censor speech are considered "vexing and heartbreaking [...] setbacks for civil rights". I feel as though many people have lost perspective on how hard the civil rights movement fought to be allowed to say things that offend the mainstream.

Even as a well-paid, salaried software engineer, there's a moderate chance that they're still obligated to give you overtime pay (at least in CA -- heavily depends on your jurisdiction), especially if your job is implementing a series of small stories that are completely designed by somebody else and especially if there isn't enough leeway to take a little time to learn about the thing you're coding. You might consider talking to a lawyer or some kind of workers advocate. A year of back-paid overtime can go a long way toward weathering a recession ;)
That is an interesting take. I would assume that almost everyone in group B would also be in group A.

Group A would also have situational supporters outside B
A small feedback: You have a circle on the page that says "A better search engine. Learn why →". But only the tiny text is clickable. It would be great if that whole circle was clickable. Bigger link targets are always better.
Journalists should be held to a higher standard in the context of whether the content they journal is fact or fiction. As long as they are not committing libel, I want to know if private people are abusers, even if it falls within the law.

Zulip won my last bake-off for chat systems. Integration was easy and the topic method of providing threads was amazing. The only feature it was missing was federation.

I think long commit messages make sense for bugs, because unless it breaks compatibility you're not going to comment the code every time you fix a bug.
Aren't they 2nd place after Red Hat? I'm talking about distributions that are made for enterprises.

I heard for example that Intel was/is a huge user and used it on their computing farm.
All the screenshots you linked look, and most importantly, work, better than pretty much every "blank canvas" application I have encountered, though I'll admit the last one is worst implemented. Worst, yet still beats the pants off Electron and the like.
Like I said, I have already studied this question to my satisfaction.

Also, in general, I have lost patience with much good-faith argument regarding neoconservative initiatives. In retrospect, I think most of the money and power behind the charter schools initiative became focused on dismantling public schools, and (like Diane Ravitch) I regret ever arguing for the benefits of charters.
The difference is there is literature and research to support paper note taking as superior to digital in terms of comprehension and creative thought. If you've indexed your notebooks, it isn't hard to go back find relevant info years later.
I use -m as a natural filter for line length. If it's unwieldy to fit inside a -m cli flag, it's usually an indicator I can be more concise in my commit message. Obviously, from time to time you'll need to include more information in commit messages; I have sublime set up to be my default editor for these situations.
Some software shops, unfortunately, take their "Agile" a little too seriously. They end up treating developers like assembly-line workers with a quota to meet. Those burndown charts become a very important metric that managers can show their managers, etc.

One could call it metrics-driven development.
This should be more of a desktop feature. I'd like to play video wallpaper on gnome/wayland for example. I think this is as much on the desktop devs as the browser devs, if not moreso.

Well, it's not surprising giving the time period and the Chivalric ideas that went with it. (Late Medieval period) The Reconquista had just finished up in Spain, and the Ottomans were now bursting on the scene in the Eastern Mediterranean. Columbus was a bit of a Zealot and believed that god spoke to him personally.
Honestly, what is with that? Why is there a limit on how long I can renew for? Some TLDs I've seen 1 or 2 year limits. What the fuck.
The Auth Bottleneck Pattern
In my experience I don't often hear: "They'd never want us there, we're just resources to be used."

But: "Damn those stupid meetings again, wasting my time."

It is like a lot of developers don't consider meetings part of job. I am currently less and less into actual typing of code and much more into understanding what others are trying to accomplish.
You may have already discerned, but I don't give two shit's about the style of my comments on this site. The Internet is a bathroom stall, and comments are the graffiti. Taking them as seriously as you do is ridiculous.
If that’s the case, then why not have teams draft from the region they represent? For example, maybe the Patriots should not have had a foreign Michigander as their QB for 20 years, that spot could have been given to some up and coming Boston College graduate.

To address your point a bit more directly: can you show me studies where native born Americans have lost jobs to immigrants in the US? I know that many jobs got moved to China and Mexico, but that’s not what I am wondering about.
