It really hurts reading this.

I'm not involved in this, but like any other citizen, I rely on this system.

This shows that some people who carry certain responsibilities haven't lived up to their task, and without this test, we wouldn't have gotten to know this, while they would still have collected their paycheck as if everything is ok.

The lesson to be learned from this should be to implement a monthly test run, like other countries are doing.
The thing about the fine structure constant always bothered me. If it were slightly different, our universe would be very different. But how do we quantify how different is different enough to warrant investigation? How do we know what the range of such a number could be?
The goal is to do as little mental work while possible while relaxing listening to music. Exercising self control is antithetical to that purpose.

It may not be a brain bug everyone has, but the point is to pick a method of relaxing that doesn't exacerbate it.
I've invested in a Dawless setup, I have a groove machine + analog bass synth + a mixer (mpc or something like an octatrakt) to orchestrate and apply fx. It avoids the tedium and allows for a level of electronic music improvisation that reawakened my love of the craft.

It allows you to hit that flowstate that you can hit playing a bonafide instrument. The sound quality is good enough, the arrangements arent that hard,its house and techno anyway, and allows me to get away from the tedium of engineering, that as I get older, wears on my patience.

Glad you saw that. I already treat us as living in a closed loop environment, but very few people share and act upon that sentiment with me, so I find it easier to illustrate by analogy.

Generally speaking, our human organizational psychology is extremely vulnerable to the principal agent problem throughout the body of the organization when timelines and scales are larger than an individual can internalize. MEGO is the usual response I get when I speak with most people about timelines exceeding a human lifespan (their human lifespan to be specific), or resource quantities at industrial and global scales.

Until we can solve the problem of shifting on the order of 3e8 metric tons of mass off-planet without ruinous side effects, we're really stuck on our cradle world, and should plan (including actively researching how to get off world at that scale) accordingly.
Minitel is the terminal system, with the CPU, keyboard & screen, but by extension, it includes the protocol to display & download the data.
Actually, i was used to connect to "minitel" servers, RTC or BBS-like that were dedicated to the developement of HP48 calculator applications. It was a very rich scene in France, with RTC servers named Pulsar, RTC-one, etc. Basic BBS boards with discussion boards (like HN!) and where you could download HP 48 programs.
Some history (in french) about one of these boards http://wiz0u.free.fr/pulsar/historique.php

It was back in 1997 with a pre-internet scene, the first IRL parties, internet friends, etc
Basicly it was some smart guy hosting an atari st in the garage, with a dedicated telecom line (so 1 people connected at the same time!).

He is not special. He broke the law and he should face consequences like everyone else. Instead, he wants the world to dance to his tune.

I’m curious if security consciousness has been raised to the point where people are willing to pay for the iron-clad guarantee that their information will never be sold... and if it’s enough to support privacy-first apps and startups.
Yes, although to be fair, that's on the high-end even for San Francisco. Total compensation in the range of $100-200k is much more common.
Because any serious comparison of recycling and landfill has reduced carbon emmisions as one of the benefits of recycling (and similarly burning for heat/power, which is still better than landfill on most grids today).

So, if climate chamge is an issue you care about, then recycling is one of the fixes and landfill and its methane production and waste of useful materials is one of the causes.

But since we live in a world where even the existence of climate change is a political hot potato, I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see one of the fixes attacked with well funded lies as well.
> The downvote here is supposed to mean not that someone disagrees with you, but that you aren’t following the guidelines, seem to be arguing in poor faith, etc.

Yeah you would think this, but there was an Ask HN thread maybe a month or two ago asking why people downvote and disagreement in opinion was a surprisingly popular justification.

Wordpress has had a history of serious security vulnerabilities that gave it a bad rap for folks that have been following the industry for a long time. I think automattic has done a great job overall in improving Wordpress and you don't hear about mass defacements or easy hacks for the standard wordpress install anymore.

The plugin ecosystem however opens you up once again: here the devil is in the details. Every plugin you install might be the giant blinking red light that says: hack me, steal my data, etc.

On balance though wordpress is pretty good these days.
Put it in an AWS S3 bucket.

use aws command line tools to sync to your local repo

easy way:

aws s3 copy index.html s3://<mybucketname.com> --profile <awskeys for this client>

hard way:

cd <mywebsiteroot dir>

git pull ## if needed

<website builder> ## i.e. webpack, angular, whatever

aws s3 sync public_html s3://<mybucketname.com>/ --profile <awskeys for this client>

I truly love Emacs. Magit is part of what I see as its three "killer apps":

- Magit. Best Git UI ever. The other comments in this thread discuss this, so it's probably sufficient to remark that it's the only serious Git tool competitive with Git's own CLI. Equal in power and superior in usability.

- Org-mode[0]. Nothing comparable for structured text-editing.

- Slime[1]. When you edit Emacs Lisp, you really want its near-perfect features around online documentation, jump-to-definition, code completion, etc. With this foundation you can understand the Emacs internals well enough to build whatever else you need. It gives you the best, most fully-featured REPL-ish workflow (C-x C-e to evaluate the current line of Emacs Lisp) within real source code files I have ever experienced.

However, performance issues have kept me from going all-in on my adoption. Mostly this takes the form of long load times upon opening a new file type. Sometimes it's simply a new file, since the whole UI will block on parsing/analyzing a new source file (depending on the major mode).

Guile Emacs[2] seemed like the only real contender to making this workable. But it hasn't received enough love over the last 5 years. Guile proper now supports Emacs Lisp, but the Emacs side of the equation still requires custom builds, and doesn't support many important features. More importantly, Guile ELisp is still slower than Emacs at running ELisp. The whole project is a dead ringer for high-hopes abandonware.

I've moved back to Vim in the meantime, since it reliably opens quickly and never lags on key input. I use a shell for the rest. But I have tasted the fruit of what's possible with Emacs. I want it to work for me, and work for next generation of programmers now gravitating to big piles of Electron like VSCode or JetBrains IDEs with ridiculous barriers to extensibility[3].

None of the alternatives can replace the kind of tight edit/execute cycle possible in Emacs, nor the incredible discoverability afforded by a Lisp IDE.

Are there other Emacs performance projects, hacks for speed gains, etc. worth following?

One of the things that's not obvious to me about things like this (and other similar tools) is where/how scopes/limitations/permissions are handled. I assume they either are or can be, I just never see it spelled out clearly. What am I missing?
They do, also for stuff like contaminated tap water. Kind of looks like the scene from Chernobyl, vans with sirens and speakers driving around town announcing stuff. But it works.
Sure, here in Vermont we have lots of dry good options (cereal, dry tea, spices, etc) that are bulk into reusable containers. Pringles aren't conducive to that but I'd certainly scoop tortilla chips, goldfish, etc if I could.
> Seems like nobody should really be treated that way though, so the fact he's being treated in accordance with others to me is more of an indictment of the system than his specific treatment.

Why shouldn't people be stripped searched on the way in and out of prison? How are the prisons meant to ensure the safety of the prisoners? Remember prisoners can and do smuggle weapons and deadly drugs into prisons. One of the best ways of keeping prisons safe is to search prisoners properly upon entry to the prison.

Why shouldn't people who have been proven not trustworthy be held in a dock? Remember, he skipped bail.

Why shouldn't someone who seems to be at danger be protected with bulletproof glass?

> people are innocent until proven guilty in general

He has already been proven guilty of a crime. He is a criminal.

> criminals are people too, and all people deserve humane treatment. After all, if you can't treat criminals humanely who are you to condemn them for treating others inhumanely? By all means, remove from society, reform, re-educate, etc, but no reason to treat criminals as anything other than your siblings, parents, etc who did something wrong and need some course correction.

I personally have been in the UK prison system and have experienced the strip searches and the court handling. Honestly, I never heard a prisoner once complain about strip searches, we understood why they were there. The guards weren't insenstive or treated us inhumanely. We were just told to take our clothes off while they inspected our clothes. And sitting in a dock is not inhumane.

JSON doesn't use Javascript doubles. It uses a custom format that excludes NaNs and Infinities. It allows arbitrary precision values: "A number is a sequence of decimal digits with no superfluous leading zero. It may have a preceding minus sign (U+002D). It may have a fractional part prefixed by a decimal point (U+002E). It may have an exponent, prefixed by e (U+0065) or E (U+0045) and optionally + (U+002B) or – (U+002D). The digits are the code points U+0030 through U+0039. Numeric values that cannot be represented as sequences of digits (such as Infinity and NaN) are not permitted."—ECMA-404[1]

That means that not all JSON values can be represented as IEEE754 doubles (Javascript Numbers) and not all IEEE754 doubles can be represented as JSON values. It's a lossy conversion.

I don't think we can reject it though. We may not / shouldn't "like" it, and we can sort of shove it to the background and try to come up with other explanations or theories that are more explanatory, but we do have to acknowledge that at least the weak form does make a kind of sense and we can't ignore it.
> Competition is good!

On Linux, the Epic Store does not compete and therefore it does not add choice for me.
Not true, the tube makes sure the chips stay mostly intact. The shape of the chips fits neatly around your tongue. Pringles are made of flour, they would turn to dust in an ordinary bag.
> I'm not sure how that's a benefit for users (multiple app stores).

The same way multiple grocery stores benefit customers. It gives them a choice.

> What he wants is the right to build his own App Store so that he can charge his own "tax" and (hopefully) become a monopolist.

That makes no sense because once the door is open for multiple app stores, there's even less of a chance to become a monopolist. To become a monopolist Epic would have to build their own smartphone platform and get enough market share to effectively control the market, like Apple has done.

Also, when using the generic term it's app store, not App Store. Apple does not have a trademark on the generic term app store [0], they have only registered for that trademark and they will lose even that if challenged. Apple is so petty though that your iPhone automatically capitalizes it anyway.

Hmm... I wonder why that is? Must be some mysterious phenomena involving price competition between stores...

Wasn't the 3/5 compromise rather a way to curb the power of slave owners? The more slaves they had the more power the votes of the state had.
I wouldn't say it's always ego flexing per se. For instance there are still tons of embedded engineers who won't touch C++ because they think it has some sort of overhead over C, even when C++ wins out in terms of binary size, execution speed, etc. So I'd say there's plenty of ignorance going on as well.

To be fair, as other commenters have pointed out, Arduino isn't always a good solution. This is the same in all of engineering though.

At work we tend to use Arduinos for production tooling a lot. Our main product is decidedly not an Arduino though. We have lots of constraints though, from form factor to battery life.
That's because the AI isn't allowed to cheat. The skill of "world class" bridge play mainly lies in creative ways to cheat.
uk.com is second level, pvt.k12.ma.us fourth. I think you really look words for denoting political separation (instead technical), but I don't know any good terminology for that. Public suffix is probably best term to differentiate between "shared" and "dedicated" namespace.
Technically though, root servers have information only about TLD-s. co.uk may be special for some people, but a.root-servers.net. don't care, it's still sends you to uk TLD nameservers, like for every other second level domain.
That political separation or what counts as "registry" is itself very tricky. Are dynamic DNS services registries? How about hosting (like blog) service provider, who gives subdomain/hostname for every client?
This is my experience, too. For example, if I look at the title breakdown across the three SRE teams at my employer it's

I wonder how prize winners feel about such huge sums of money. Especially that very succesful people who win such prizes tend to win multiple prizes.
Harvard and Oxbridge are world-class research universities, not just good undergraduate universities.

For selective undergraduate universities, there’s a whole bunch of “elite” universities in Asia — eg the IITs in India, or Tsinghua & Peking in China, or NUS in Singapore.

If someone asked me about Germany, Heidelberg probably comes to mind.

Sure, people will often use it that way. I think this is one of the reasons they cap downvotes for a given comment, so the “pile-on” effect doesn’t hurt your overall point total too badly.
That is my Aha moment too, but I have generalized to: Never start real work, until you can set a breakpoint in your IDE, where you can try things in the console.

I know there are people that can write code for couple of days without running it (seen this with some java colleagues I've had), and then it all almost always works when run, but I am just not that kind of developer.

> "Conformity or rebellion?"

> “Neither one. Both ways are simple-minded– they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity.”

This is very interesting as I've been thinking a lot lately on the subject.

What Nell chose is really the third way which is in no way better (or worse) than the other two. I don't know how to call it, but it's basically independent open minded.

Let me explain why, from >40 years of being that way. Not because I'm complex minded or anything like that, that's just my personality. Rebel on one issue, trust the tradition on the other, change my mind on past choices, choose the middle ground and upset both sides, and any other variation you can think of.

To keep it as short as possible I will have to simplify: you really only have 3 choices: lead, follow or get out of the way. For lead and follow you need other people and people only get together if they have a common way of thinking. So those options are only available for people who are (or appear to be) conformists or rebels. So what's left for individualists? Just to get out of the way and achieve pretty much oly what 1 person can achieve - not much. You can also fake going with one side or the other for a time being, but you can't form life long relationships (which are also required for important stuff) so it won't last long. And this society aspect is just one example. Another quick simple one is you tend to keep reinventing wheels.

So yeah, being independent open minded is just as simple minded as the other options. In reality none of them are simple, they are just personality types each with pros and cons. Each can overcome some situations and fail in others just as likely. No mental model inside of one persons head can keep up with reality (even reduced to only society interactions). Any attempt to classify one model as being superior is just trying to feel good about one self and superior to others, and that IS simple-minded.
There are more and more stores that sell dry food without packaging. The customers have to bring their packaging (jars, etc..) required to take the goods home.
Like you would put `package-z >= v1.2.3` in your dependency manager, lawful requirements could be expressed like this. Maybe something to consider.
It sounds like you should store your configuration in some sort of KVS (Consul or etcd) or database (SQL) with a frontend rather than flat text files. There exists tooling for all of that.
If you're really going for Excel, why not even make a plugin that hooks in to it. Personally I'd find that horrible, but if it works for you and your team has no objections, why not.

I'd wager that the major reason no one has taken it that far is that your preferences are very rare.

But who knows, if you build it and make it available maybe others will find it useful too.

You're probably getting downvoted because unless I'm misinterpreting your previous comments, you're mixing up abstraction levels and concerns when you're talking about types.

Personally I think yaml is a terrible and confusing format in general (yes I do understand it quite well), I see your point with JSON, but I wouldn't personally say it's a fundamental issue the way you're describing it.

It is an incredible lack of imagination that people actually think this is the end of history with regards to mobile device operating systems, and we should just declare Android and iOS And their ecosystems public utilities that should be regulated by the government.

Because that really is the only recourse here to give people what they want.

Markets aren’t created by god, they’re created by customers. If you want to force the creation of an App Store market, one that customers aren’t actually asking for, it will need to be government-mandated.

Maybe there will be a weak sauce version of this where the review process isn’t regulated but the commission rates are regulated. We aren’t going back to the PC model where a thousand app stores bloom. No government will force that - there’s too much risk for malware and spyware as it is. At best it will be government-sanctioned stores with a government-sanctioned review process.

Windows once had 95% market share (still does!) and this hasn’t happened, even though Microsoft still gets a cut of almost every PC sale.

Be careful what you wish for. Folks here really haven’t studied history of antitrust beyond scanning Wikipedia.

There is a ton potential for new devices and platforms in VR, AR, and other experiences. The current state of affairs is not permanent. Most historical antitrust actions had very limited positive effects on consumers. The Standard Oil breakup, for example, is often cited. But it’s breakup didn’t really fix anything. Its children became bigger than the parent within a few years! Same with the AT&T breakup. It led to oligopoly. The only real telecom competition has been foreign entrants like T-Mobile. Microsoft’s consent decree had almost no impact on its monopoly status and revenue steam. What mattered was the market changing, to the point we didn’t care about the Windows monopoly anymore. There were other platforms that mattered in iOS, Android.

Valve has a near monopoly for PC game app stores and is poised to compete with Facebook and Apple for the next generation of VR/AR. Epic wants in on that. And likely there will be others.

You're making an underappreciated point: Activist short sellers can be capable of torpedoing a company that would have been successful in their absence, if the company's development depends on financing and goodwill.

It does present a bit of an ethical conundrum. Is it ethically correct to not point out something you believe to be fraudulent?

It's certainly unethical to deliberately slander something you believe to be viable, purposes of profit or not, but it can be hard to tell the difference when judging any such initiative.

I could see the case for banning advocating a short position, reasoning in terms of market manipuiation, but I don't think it's clear-cut. Was also a very close observer to the Tesla shennanigans two years ago, and there were some shameful tactics being used at the time.
