>However, it won't get new features

From the new features they have been adding lately, I'd call this a benefit... And that is the big disconnect between admins and the old community.
The actual title of this article is “The Pentagon has ordered Stars and Stripes to shut down for no good reason“. The second half of that title, which you removed, is the entire point of the article.
Altering that title does not make it more objective, it fundamentally obscures the entire point of the article. Moderators, please stop editorializing via manipulation of post titles. You are not making them “less inflammatory”, you are inserting your own perspective and misleading HN readers into thinking the article is about something that it’s not.
Yeah right, that's why plenty of political platforms were banned on their store.(Nothing illegal mind you, just wrongthink by "Apple standards").
It is interesting to note that if you read Roman generals' letters from the fourth/fifth centuries AD, they seem like they have no idea that their civilization is in the late stages of decline, something totally easy for us to recognize millennia later. It's weird and uncanny, and kind of concerning given contemporary circumstances
None of what you said is true, except on YouTube.

Facebook does not respond kindly to false takedown claims and unlike Google will revoke someone's right to use the online reporting function (meaning that future claims must be filed the old fashioned way, through a document or other means of communication that exposes the complainant to legal liability if they make a false claim.

Twitter is generally the same, as in 280 characters you can't meaningfully infringe many copyrights.

This is not textbook abuse. It's literally just Facebook making a bare statement about copyright licensing.
I wish more QR-scanners supported data URLs. I think it would be very cool to distribute tiny web-apps via QR code.
Come on..You get listing and visibility and distribution worldwide, Consumers don't have to worry about your credentials and bonafides because app store due diligence checks help keep out malicious and fraudulent apps.

People can download appstore apps without worry as opposed to some random guy publishing an open source app that most don't have time or expertise to vet.
Video games are indeed a form of media, but I think it is misleading to say they are art in the same sense as this author intends. Art and mass entertainment are only superficially similar, and most video games are made to entertain. Video games are (generally) consumable goods created to provide an amount of temporary pleasure.

Good art is recognized not just by beauty or the skill required to create it, but by its ability to engage with some aspect of what it means to be human, in a way that is coherent, mature, and thought-provoking.
There are no video game equivalents (yet, one would hope) of, say, Bach, Rembrandt, or Bernini.

Maybe someday there will be, but not today.

edit: To the downvoters, I'm saying all this as a pretty avid gamer. video games are a very young medium and a hopefully in a few centuries I will be wrong.
I've moved on, and come here. I always loved reddit for the news articles and conversation. I feel that both of those things have spread out to the margins. Some subs still have the quality text-based content that I like, but most have been snuffed out by power-hungry mods, or transformed by an influx of users who don't understand the older reddit culture.

When a friend referred me to hackernews, I found that it has the type of content and users that I miss from reddit. I also visit Tildes on occasion, but the user base is so small that the content is much more limited than it is here.
Same thing dude.

I probably spend like 50-40% less time on it.

I'm weary of download apps for content I should be able to view on a browser.

The app "mysteriously" takes up more space than the Chrome app to serve, arguably, less content.

I learned my lesson with the Facebook app, namely, that these companies are shady and their apps always require more privileges than necessary.
Absolutely. We're working on adding more and more!
Same here on chrome for Android.
I'll tell what my big blank spot is that I've never found a good tutorial for is how to break down a design file into a working page. I do mostly backend and architecture kinda work, but frontend/mobile UI dev has gotten more and more important. I understand the tech and can write code that functions, but when I look at a Sketch or Figma design, I just have no idea what to do with it.
Apply pattern/toolset recursively. Software supply chain problems largely eventually solved this way.

Some context might be useful.

Starlink was one of two somewhat similar subject-specific networks set up in a period of enlightenment by the UK Science Research Council (as I think it was then) operating in the 1980s, particularly for largely interactive analysis. The other was an un-named and ill-publicized one for nuclear structure as opposed to astronomy. I don't know about Starlink, not being an astronomer, but I guess it was also rather ahead of its time, like the nuclear structure one.

Obviously it had changed in astronomy by then, but I didn't see the attitude that physicists (and later, structural biologists) shouldn't write software or build the necessary hardware before or around that time. We had people and job titles like "physicist-programmer", and did what was necessary, and we did fit the facilities to the problem (when not working at foreign labs). The software systems were designed to be user-extensible anyhow, in our case.

Personally I was glad to have the lightning-fast interactive graphics system on the nuclear structure GEC systems, and not the stodgy performance -- even when they weren't running something like Macsyma -- of all the VAXen I used. VMS was somewhat inscrutable to a physics hacker anyhow, so I don't understand why Unix made it more difficult, though I hold no particular affection for Unix.
Imagine running a database in the cloud and someone deletes all of the database nodes in the cluster, all of your data, and your backups of the data.

VMs can be disposable, but if you have data you want to keep, you should have a second copy hosted by a separate organization .. well that was my lesson anyway.
Because it's not an app. It's just some code.

You're going to have to segment your whole application into chunks, each chunk being sandboxed away from the others, causing huge overheads and complications. It'll generate more complexity, more errors, more security vulnerabilities. And it doesn't even guarantee that the code doesn't do other bad things that the sandbox doesn't deny. Sandboxing has comprehensively failed as a security measure for browser extensions - hence both Chrome and Firefox retreating from extensions.

Or, as a spurious example: you could audit the library's code to make sure it's not doing bad things, and then copy/paste it into your code base. You could even just copy the bits you need and leave the bits that deal with use cases that you don't need. Easier, simpler, more efficient and less dangerous.

There are still interesting communities and multi reddit are cool.

But you're right, reddit is being poisoned. Maybe they will remove the front page and /r/all one day. They should. All of this might be caused by elections.

I wish somebody would write a repertoire of subreddit by tags or categories. I still love to read comments on science and other constructive debates. Curated posts should also be more visible, not like digg did though. Subreddit of the day is nice too.

The shit posts are annoying, but it's part of how reddit want to attract as many types of users as possible, like tumblr.

If you don't explore reddit your using it wrong. I should search for a repertoire though.
Yeah this type of curmudgeon sarcasm is how you end up with "Ok, boomer".

I feel a better way to be jokey about the old tech, is to just be amazed at it. Folks know how to google something when they don't know what it is
Looks like it could be a "probability".
> That's the part I completely agree with. Music is absolutely stuck. There have only been micro-genres, such as the many micro-genres of techno/EDM or hip hop. There has been nothing approaching the birth of hip hop, techno/rave, grunge, "alternative" rock, and so on. Those all came of age in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. For some reason after 2000 music died.

I don't really see this at all. I might agree that mainstream music hasn't changed much since the late 2000s, when synthesizers seemed to mostly replace guitars in popular music. to me, taylor swift sounds really different than she did in 2009, but pretty much the same as in 2011 or so. then again, I don't really pay enough attention to this kind of music to give it a fair analysis.

grunge was certainly a major departure from what was popular in the 80s, but it's not radically different from a lot of less popular music that came before it. I would argue there's much more variation in the last twenty years of hardcore subgenres than there was between hüsker dü, pixies, and nirvana.
The Service Control Manager (SCM) has a list of settings for registered services: the parameters of a service are its name, executable path, arguments, environment variables, user to run it under, other services it depends on, restarting options, etc. When the system is started, the SCM starts those services. When the system is being shut down, the SCM stops them.

How is a service started? The SCM launches the specified executable, in the way it's specified in the service's settings and... that's pretty much it.

However, the service is supposed to support a certain protocol of interaction with SCM. First of all, the service must quickly (within half a minute from the start, IIRC) call the WinAPI function StartServiceCtrlDispatcher() on its main thread. That's basically a pre-written main(): it returns only after the service has been stopped. It takes several function pointers: to the ServiceMain where the service proper is supposed to be, and various event handlers (pause/resume/stop requests, system is shutting down, etc). It creates a separate thread to run the ServiceMain on, and then basically loops processing requests/events from the SCM (event handlers are run on the main thread).

That's basically it. Nothing prevents one to write an application that can run both as a service and stand-alone: put your logic in ServiceMain, call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher with it, if it returns ERROR_FAILED_SERVICE_CONTROLLER_CONNECT (that means you're not being launched by the SCM), call ServiceMain by yourself. Ctrl-C handler and "stop the service" handler are easily unified because on Windows, Ctrl-C handler always runs on a different thread. You just need make sure that your ServiceMain function can be safely signaled that it needs to stop from a different thread, but that's what thread-communication primitives are for.

Also pretty dubious.

Regardless of what you and your friends did, you have to admit that there’s a whole wider world that didn’t watch it. Just looking at the numbers, the SpaceX launch got about 10.3 million viewers (https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.space.com/amp/nasa-spacex-as...)

That’s good, but about as many as an important cricket match in India (https://medium.com/@refsrc/indias-streaming-service-hotstar-...).

> What’s the difference, really, between the music of the 1990s and the 2010s—between the music of Madonna and Lady Gaga, of Mariah Carey and Adele? Between the heavy metal or rock or rap of the 1980s and those genres now? Nuances distinguish them. You don’t need to resort to nuances to tell the difference between the music of the 1970s and 1950s or the 1950s and 1930s.

I find this comparison completely ridiculous. It is not just that I can tell difference between Madonna and Lady Gaga or 1980 metal against todays one. It is also that the actual difference between 1970s and 1950s music is that they changed genre. Metal must be metal, if it was different then metal if would not be metal. It just so happens that new genres did appeared between 1980 and now. Contemporary techno progressive music is incomparable to anything in 1980. Also, 1980 music is ridiculously easy to distinguish as 1980 music. And not just that new genres appeared, the music in 1980 was not consumed the way it is consumed now - all the time for free huge selection by own personal choice. Back then, you had either to pay or listen to one of radio stations. So the people moved more in lockstep.

> Renaissance linear perspective for the visual arts ... By mid-century, with a few admirable exceptions, the modern art world seemed determined to make itself the butt of jokes, as Tom Wolfe memorably described in The Painted Word (1975).

I personally like modern art more then renaissance, but that is personal taste - what I find fun.

The big reason for abstraction being the thing in art is that realism is largely figured out. People can do hyper realistic drawings today, the ones that are hard to distinguish from photography. They are stunning pieces of craft. But, at this point, it is craft that you can learn if you study enough and have talent. You are not discovering something new when you do it - but if they are your thing there are artists focusing on this particular thing. There are books you can read that teach you how to render, analyze and draw.
I think it's just slow to load the images. I had the same and eventually they started to appear.
Looks like it’s actually possible to string something like this together in Python; custom types are of course supported, and you can write a generic validation function that looks for your function’s type signature and then asserts that every UnitInterval variable is within the specified bounds.

You’d have to decorate/call manually in your functions so it’s not watertight, but at least it’s DRY.
Indeed, C11 and C18 don't bring a lot. I'm glad that they don't because backwards compatibility and roughly predictable development of the language is important to me.
It was a calculated risk. And I was, and still am, very poor. 3,000 is basically an entire months pay for me at this point. Back then it was two months pay. I don't work as a programmer, yet (knock on wood). So paying 3k is basically out of the question.
I believe they reset the startup setting then because I noticed this recently after an update and had to turn it off again.

I don't see national leaders pushing HCQ because Trump is doing it, I see them pushing against it because Trump is doing it and because they positioned themselves against him.

Trump has poisoned the well. If you bring up HCQ, you are immediately under suspicion of being an anti-science Trump-supporting conspiracy theorist. Guilt by association, reductio ad hitlerum, etc.

As for using HCQ as a prophylactic: That was the whole point right from the beginning. Didier Raoult can be credited with starting the HCQ hype, he has been prescribing HCQ+zinc as a prophylactic for at-risk groups. That's not as outlandish as you make it sound, HCQ has been used as prophylactic for malaria for the longest time and that is considered safe.

The studies that tested HCQ at a late stage (ICU) or without zinc are missing the point. HCQ without zinc doesn't work, zinc without HCQ is at least less effective, because the HCQ works as an ionophore, but if you already have a severe case of COVID, none of it is going to work. It's too late.

There are several studies that suggest that this prophylactic treatment works. There are no big RCTs that show it works, but neither are there big RCTs that disprove that it works.

See also this protocol for prophylaxis of COVID-19:

https://www.evms.edu/media/evms_public/departments/internal_...

It includes zinc and quercetin as an ionophore and is thus politically uncontroversial. However, it's unknown to what extent quercetin really works as an ionophore in vivo.

I think like anything else it comes with practise and some familiarity with the UI framework of the platform you're building for. You could try looking at something like dribbble and reimplementing some small widget or bit of UI in your platform. On mobile I've found things to become a little bit easier as the types of layouts are more restricted and designers tend to make use of the platform's stock UI elements more.

Makes me wonder how news websites archive their articles. Do they snapshot the HTML/CSS/JS, store it for every article and serve it as static sites?

In C, I wonder if you could do something with functions and macros?

Say you need to represent velocity in a transportation simulation. You could have a function, velocity, that looks like this:

double velocity(double v, char * of_what)

You use it to wrap constrained values. E.g.,

double v_jogger = velocity(8.0, "human");
double v_car = velocity(65.0, "city car");

velocity() simply returns the first argument, after doing validity checking based on the second argument.

You probably couldn't reasonably use this everywhere that you would use actual constrained types in a language that has them, but you could probably catch a lot of errors just using them in initializers.
