Anyone else catch this? First:

“The Chinese government says its distant-water fishing fleet, or those vessels that travel far from China’s coast, numbers roughly 2,600, but other research, such as this study by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), puts this number closer to 17,000”.

Several paragraphs later:

“More recently, the Chinese government has stopped calling for an expansion of its distant-water fishing fleet and released a five-year plan in 2017 that restricts the total number of offshore fishing vessels to under 3,000 by 2021.“

Why would you need to announce a plan to reduce your fleet to below 3,000 if it’s only “officially“ at 2,700? Is this a case of inconsistent propaganda?
He literally said:

> if that's not why you go to bars, i have to ask -you'd enjoy going to bars with mostly men?

Which is a pretty dismissive normative claim (it excludes women too for what it's worth).
Yeah, I agree. Otherwise it's like saying we can't grow corn because you need water, minerals and these days, fertilizers. When we really want to, we can take care of the whole chain.
Do you buy into the criticism of our phones and social media being addictive and harmful to our ability to maintain focus and concentration? If so, then there must be a way to build strength in the opposite direction, right? For some (including me), meditation seems to help.

I used the guided sessions from the free Oak app and a lot of the beginner stuff is about just sitting and focusing on one thing (usually the breath). An early skill is to recognize when a distracting thought enters your mind. You acknowledge it and return to focusing on the breath. I use this when I'm working. If I suddenly remember that I'm supposed to do something later in the week or start to wonder if the SR-71 could ever achieve a trajectory with escape velocity, I write it down and come back to it later.
> They're able to make of break businesses overnight by changing the stream of traffic

Maybe small businesses wake up to the fact that building the core of their livelihood on the foundation of a whimsical megacorp is a Bad Idea.

Google attracts businesses to work with them because they make visibility easy. But if they screw over those same businesses, then maybe the bait isn't worth taking in the first place? Maybe networking and building your customer base without Google, in some venue that you have better control over (or is at least more reliable/transparent) is preferable?
Too true the thought crossed my mind but it provides an opportunity to make your own point in reply.
Depends if the attack is targeted to specific users: sysadmins for example will often have jre installed to run clunky old kvm clients.

I've enjoyed having children but they are extremely hard work and you need to accept that their needs take priority over your own. Very few people are able to maintain any significant hobbies or social life, at least when the children are young. There will be some extremely tough times - up all night, illnesses, tantrums etc. and sometimes you just need to grit your teeth and get through it. At other times you will experience love and joy which is unlike anything else you have felt before.
Ask HN: Why is daily or n * daily deployment so popular?
Another job listing has appeared which promotes multiple daily deploys as a positive bullet point.

Is this really beneficial? Has there been any meaningful analysis of the use of CI/CD - in parts or in whole?

My limited experience with CI/CD has shown significant overhead, both human and compute, but much less end user value. Aside from research, I would enjoy hearing both positive and negative experiences people here have had.
> needs immediate treatment

What percentage of cases that take that advice end up on the ever expanding array of drugs with unknown side effects?

We're conducting a massive experiment with the mentally ill right now feeding them experimental pharmaceuticals and I get the strong feeling we will end up being judged just like lobotomies were.
When I say hard drive I don't mean just hard drive, I usually mean storage medium designed for desktops. So a PCI-E drive would suffice, besides my assumption was that we'd have more storage space but files wouldnt endlessly increase as they seem to be.
I'm well aware of NewsCorp, having grown up in the UK and seen them basically decide every election since perhaps Thatcher.

Despite that, this particular point in the draft legislation in an interesting idea, at least to discuss. "Why Not?" was short for "Why not require Google and Facebook to inform affected businesses when they're making changes to their ranking algorithms?" ... that's a discussion that can be had independently from NewsCorp
These meta studies always seem suspect.

The conclusion does not seem to have any provable basis.

In this case, the worst extent of the flaw is that Windows doesn't warn that a file used by a piece of third-party software could be dangerous. If you want a case like this to involve liability, that's what you have to include.

If a producer of software is made aware of a defect in their software that may lead to a breach of security

Now, I can guarantee you 100%, based on its track record, that a code execution and sandbox vulnerability exists right now in Adobe PDF readers. Should Windows be required warn users before opening a PDF file that it could be dangerous? What would be different for any other non-trivial software that consumes a non-trivial file format?

It is by no means a stretch to say that if Microsoft is liable in this case, they must be liable for not warning users on a whole host of other issues with third-party software.

I'm generally in favor of some kind of serious liabilities for vulnerabilities, but let's not pretend defining liability in an effective way is easy.
> There's IRC, which tends to have a much higher technical barrier to entry though, and a lack of centralization makes for a more difficult discovery and user experience.

Some clients are nice enough to include a list of common / popular servers, but they don't provide much more context about them. I would love to see some of those modern IRCv3 features but I'm not sure of clients supporting them and IRC networks supporting them.
Yep, I was just chatting with a friend about our experience with this kind of thing; each of us has done large amounts of subconscious healing work over many years, and each of us has experienced some (at-times quite serious, in my case) anxiety as we progressed, to the point where you really start to question whether it's beneficial or if it's doing more harm than good.

With continued work things turned around, and each of us can now confidently say we're better for having done it, but it's very tough when you're in the thick of it.

This phenomenon is well known in traditional/unconventional healing practices; it's often referred to as the "dark night of the soul" or in Jung philosophy it's the confrontation and integration of the "shadow" [1]. In their work with LSD and holotropic breathwork, Christina and Stan Grof described this as part of what they called the "spiritual emergency" [2].

For me it was the developing awareness about the worst aspects of myself and feeling great shame over past actions and fear of committing wrong deeds in the future. It started passing when I was able to start forgiving and accepting myself and trusting that I could function in the world without succumbing to destructive impulses. But that work is ongoing.

One thing it makes me realise is that it's unwise to proselytise this kind of work to others, as you may be pushing them to undertake a journey they're not ready for. People really have to be highly self-motivated, in order to be able to endure the most challenging parts of such a journey.

I would add to it that like anything else in the world jumping on a deep end is the quickest way to learn something but some % will drown.

Walking is a good exercise for anyone. Would I recommend a 7 day backpack though wildness... maybe not if you heard about it from a friend of a friend as a good way to reconnect with the nature.

Absolutely.
Is there a good on-demand antivirus for Mac?

The only two I know of is Malwarebytes and Kaspersky.

The former installs with root privileges, runs on boot and cannot be ever closed, despite the fact that it is only an on-demand scanner. I've written to them to request an explanation, and did not get any response.

Kaspersky has had a fair share of rumors against it, and I am not in a position to evaluate if they are trustworthy.

Great, meat SHOULD cost a fortune. The actual cost of meat is not what you pay for it, the only reason it’s even affordable is because the taxpayer shoulders the burden of the farm subsidies. Cut those out and a $5 Big Mac would cost almost $15.

Add to that the environmental impact, insane water usage, and the fact that meat production will continue to destroy economies through pandemics, and it should cost 10-15x more than it does now.
That video is nothing short of amazing. Ilford HP5+ [1] has been my go-to film (I only shoot black and white) since Fujifilm dropped Neopan 400 [2] back in 2013 and my supplies ran out two years later.

Film photography is certainly something I can recommend, at least to anyone interested in photography in general. The lack of instant feedback does indeed change how you operate even when you shoot digital. I would never dream of not shooting primarily digital though if your salary depended on capturing anything but a fully controlled scene.
That’s a great question.

I would guess that dies are built from modular sections (e.g. SRAM cells), and it’s important that two identical modules perform identically - signal propagation time is relevant at this scale, so the shape and layout of each module must be identical. I would further guess that rectangular layouts are easiest to reason about, easiest to make masks for, easiest to pack efficiently at the transistor level, and easiest to test.

But I don’t know of a fundamental reason why a sufficiently advanced VHDL “compiler” couldn’t produce hex-cell or even circular layouts.

I have fond memories of ClarisWorks in elementary school. My elementary school in the 1990s had a bunch of Apple Macintosh Performa 575 and 580 machines running Mac OS 7.5; the school still had them as late as 2001 when I completed sixth grade. At the earlier grade levels we learned typing (using "All the Right Type") and LOGO programming, and starting around fourth grade we learned how to write basic reports using ClarisWorks' word processor. I am also familiar with the drawing tool that is part of ClarisWorks.

I've been collecting classic Macs for the past 16 years, ever since one of my teachers gave me a Macintosh SE and a Performa 6220. Every now and then I boot one of my classic Macs and open up ClarisWorks. One of the things I like about most software written for the classic Mac OS is their strict adherence to the Apple Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines.

Maybe it's just the nostalgia talking, but Apple Pages and Apple Numbers do not spark the same joy in me that ClarisWorks did, though Apple Keynote is a superb software product. I've tried using Apple Pages and Apple Numbers in the past, and I often end up resorting to LibreOffice, despite the fact that LibreOffice's interface isn't Mac-like while Pages and Numbers are first-party programs. It's hard for me to articulate this objectively, but Pages and Numbers seem to deviate from the traditional UI for word processors and spreadsheets, respectively, and I'm just more comfortable with more traditional word processors like ClarisWorks/AbiWord/Microsoft Word/LibreOffice Writer and traditional spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel/Gnumeric/LibreOffice Calc. I've tried Pages and Numbers, but I find myself reaching for LibreOffice.

Perhaps it would be nice if somebody created a modern-day ClarisWorks as a type of counter-weight to Microsoft Office and LibreOffice.
Work-from-Home Future: Now's the Time to Think About Security
Yes.

Deployments should be quick, simple, reliable and accessible to developers. With automated builds + unit tests you can have simple deployments that take < 10 minutes if not < 5 minutes without too much complexity on most medium sized projects.

This lets you ship often and break complex behaviour into smaller tasks. Exposure to bugs is limited to only what's shipped, so you can be confident that each deployment is correct.

I think the idea that there is significant overhead seems to me to be the opposite - frequent small deployments are simple and easy to verify. Single large deployments often change huge amounts of code, multiple DB migrations, and introduce multiple opportunities to fail.

If you deploy too infrequently, you can also develop a culture of rushing to get into the release, or being (or your customers being) scared to push to production due to bad experiences in the past.

Have you been in a place where lots of people ride bikes?

A small car world would be 100% -> 60% resource reduction. At reasonable scale, bikes are at least a 100% -> 10% reduction in all mentioned 'externalities' or should we say resource use, or 10x capacity for same resources, except for road size at maybe 3x, but still more than 10x on cost.

Public transit would grow (no need to fit all cyclists), but that should actually be a net benefit.

To comprehend the difference in scale, view images here [1]. Half as many cars wouldn't fit, even if they covered every cm of the image.

I get the point of low cost phone to keep the price low. I also know that there is a group that, rightfully, enjoys hacking on low-powered hardware to push it to limits. However, I wonder if there is also an opportunity to also sell high spec hardware, maybe in limited quantity. These phones are not for the masses anyway and I'm sure there is a Linux enthusiasts segment with pockets deep enough to afford the hardware - they know what they are getting into. Atleast what works will work fast and the software will only improve as we move along - which means improved overall experience. Plus it helps with the project funding too.
Could do like the UK does with the BBC and fund it via ordinary taxes. It seems like a relatively simple solution.

- google has monopoly on search results.

- traditional news companies not making enough money, blame google.

- Australian government decides it knows what is best, regulate the monopoly.

I would love to hear some input from actual journalists. It's telling that in the whole 29 page draft, journalist is mentioned twice and consumer(as a natural person) is mentioned once[1].

>Eventually, the code gets a speedup only after significant and non-obvious tuning that requires a lot of Julia experience

I wouldn't say it's non-obvious: the things you have to do would be obvious to any programmer who's written code in something like C++. The problem usually tends to be that MATLAB, R, and Python tend to train people to want to use sub-optimal programming styles, like something heavy on array allocations, even if writing a function that does a loop is perfectly optimal. If someone is always told that mapping one function at a time ("vectorization") is the optimal way to do things, then they will try it when they go to a more optimal language. So it's really just a re-education issue.

It gets better once they are past the toddler years. Parents with young children sometimes don't realize that a day will come when they'll be independent enough to just tell you "I'm going to the park, see ya later", and you say "OK!", and when most of your day is your own again.

I'd agree that no, they do not make you happier for the first couple years. But then they do make you happy when they are between 4 and 12. Then teenagers are tough again. My own parents tell me it is pretty great when they are adults.

Overall, if my kids are I are both in the world for 50-60 shared years together (hopefully), the 40-50 good years totally make the 5-10 tough years worth it.

1. Yes we haven't heard yet whether they will appeal, but the law as it currently stands creates a legal context where you can understand publishers wanting more information about Facebook users who comment on their posts. There are some perverse shakedown incentives created by the current situation.

2. Thanks - poor wording on my part. I meant to communicate that Facebook avoids liability in their terms, and of course the court determined the actual liability falls on publishers posting content.
