Reading these comments, I feel like a heathen for this opinion, but here goes:

I find I prefer Jetbrains IDEs to VSC, massively so. VSC is nice, and I tend to use it as my daily driver, but I experience a host of issues with it that I've never been able to solve. In no particular order:

- Autocomplete/Intellisense/whatever-you-call-it just stops working, constantly. This has persisted across many languages: Rust, C, PHP, Elixir, Java, Javascript, Typescript, Scala, ... despite having the relevant extensions installed. It's incredibly frustrating. Reinstalling VSC, disabling all extensions, etc etc etc has made no change. I've found absolutely nothing that indicates what could possibly be the issue, and fixes I've found online haven't helped. I admit I have a habit of leaving VSC open for days on end, but that shouldn't impact anything -- Jetbrains IDEs work reliably for me under the same circumstances.

- Performance-wise, I find it slower. Sure, a window opens up fast, but that's about it. I have a few extensions for symbol/token colourisation (think rainbow parens, rainbow do/end in Elixir, ...), since it makes it easier for me to read the code, and I find that these have a giant impact on its performance. Things like smooth scrolling -- which I like -- tend to lag out a lot for me when there's a lot of text in the terminal, even when not coloured or anything. It's not like I'm running this on a low-end machine, either; specs are R7 1800X / GTX 1080 / 64GB, so to me it's absolutely inexcusable that it's this slow.

- Unreadable themes are an issue I've run into, tho I understand this isn't a VSC-specific issue. With VSC specifically, I can't find a theme that actually has comments that feel readable to me -- I strongly dislike green comments, and all the themes I've looked at make comments a really low-contrast colour that blends into the editor background. I have neither the time nor the patience to make my own theme (or customise someone else's), so using VSC just becomes frustrating at times because someone thought low-contrast comments were a good idea.

- Stuff like jump-to-definition, refactorings, ... are consistently either not-very-functional, or just don't work. Jump-to-definition specifically loves to just give "No definition found" even when the relevant symbol is in the same file.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. But I've used VSC for the last ~2 years and it's been consistently far less usable for me than a Jetbrains IDE. VSC feels like I'm using a plain text editor with syntax highlighting, an integrated file browser, and an integrated terminal.
I agree about the pricing. The killer app would've been to just bundle it in with GSuite.

That, and given Google's habit of cancelling novel projects, I just wouldn't trust this over a third party service.
I will take a look at this. Will reach out once I have had a chance to look
Every time we talk of hardware from this era I'm reminded that I was absolutely set on getting a Commodore 64 or even better, a ColecoVision Adam computer, and my dad 'made me' get a Tandy instead. Ugly tan box. Yuck.

My dad and I don't have what you might call compatible decision making processes, so there were many times I was disappointed by his decisions growing up. But that machine taught me DOS, the next one got me onto Windows (answering the question, "How could I possible fill up a 43 Megabyte hard drive?") and those got me my foot in the door at one of the best jobs I ever had.

I'm still a little jealous of all of the Atari and Commodore fans out there, that I didn't get to participate. But if I'd had my way I would probably be worse off and still not be able to participate because I don't think anyone but me has ever mentioned the Adam unless I fished for it. Kids are dumb.
Fascinating reading about the agony of requesting permission to string the line; I would be surprised if the practitioners who established NYC's eruv jumped through the same hoops.

"Americans don't feel they can get justice" is probably sufficient.
It takes Google several years to wakeup, rub their eyes, brew some coffee, code it up and deploy it. You will be amazed how hard it is to not be lulled by the sweet sound of tens of billions in revenue adsense/adwords spews out every year. Why bother with anything else?

Google's political economy is groups building new products not to build new revenue streams but to claim larger bonuses of the ad-revenue pie. Limited shelf life products and their users are just cannon fodder in that game.
I haven't printed a PDF to sign in years. Why don't you just affix a digital image of your signature to the file? Save it and email it back to whomever.
For those a bit confused: This subdomain redirects to https://beta.shodan.io/host/$YOUR_REMOTE_ADDR. This runs a search against their existing database of information. Shodan has an army of bots that crawl the entire Internet and stores what it finds along the way. Folks generally pay Shodan for access to these notes.

The site returns various HTTP error codes based on the results of that lookup, or shows a fancier page with open ports and other information it has on that IP address. (Example: https://beta.shodan.io/host/1.1.1.1)

There is no active scan occurring here. (But you could be hinting to Shodan that these particular IPs are valid though!)

In the United States, most public spaces are streets or surrounded by streets. This law would make it nearly impossible for protestors to exercise their first amendment rights. Step one foot outside of the park in which you were protesting? Felony.

It would be a damn valuable acqui-hire though. I think the deepmind-acquisition comparison grandparent post makes is very apt.
I feel the same way about recruiters.
>So, from what I see, Biden has the lead in the polls, but Trump is following a pretty typical playbook to win an election. (Advertise and knock on doors.) Thus, I have no idea who will win.

Polls are vastly inaccurate even when there's just 2 options. For the USA, the electoral college makes polling even less clear.

>But, even though I have no idea who will win, I suspect there will be a lot of shenanigans no matter who wins.

This is the interesting subject I think. I have been seeing comments on HN(primarily antitrump folks) that they aren't going to accept election results. That it will be Biden winning.
Yeah, it's definitely missing some stuff, at least. I have a port open for WireGuard VPN traffic that it completely misses, but that's UDP so maybe that's why.
A well balanced team will have two types of engineers. One says "Here's the DD incantation that if uttered precisely right will produce the desired result."

And another engineer to say "Are you kidding me? Just buy another freakin' disk!"
One has to wonder if they were fighting over the Rose Bird. You didn't hear any rock music, did you?
One extremely useful part of Spring Boot is spring-boot-starter-parent, which specifies a compatible set of versions for all the various dependencies you're likely to pull in, which is otherwise tricky and tedious.
Had a similar occurrence, have a port open for some testing I’m doing and it did not report it.
Do you think Trump will use the insurrection act?
This sounds like a legal hell-hole waiting to happen. Admittedly I don't remember the exact doc, but the SEC takes information sharing and especially "facilitated network affects" to induce users to make market decisions very seriously.
I am a fan of old portable radios. Early radios of that time didn't come with a power supply, you had to power them with batteries. I do not want to use batteries yet pretty mich every power supply I use these days causes either bad rf via the device itself feeding into the antenna or via the power wire. Any advice for a stable low-cost stabilized dc swotching power supply which does not exhibit this terrible behaviour?
Funny. They totally deserve this btw. They will need to provide additional assurances for products. I agree we could use more assurances on product life.

It is good product that can grow if it garners sufficient interest. I hope it does.
> The storage is OK but the way most systems work there is no perceptible difference between an NVM m.2 drive and Sata for most regular use cases

As a developer I would just have to disagree.

After using NVMe SSDs for a while, using SATA SSDs suddenly feel like I’m on spinning rust plates.

To me it’s a night and day difference.
It's not the counting that takes a long time necessarily, but adjudicating the legal challenges in close elections over what ballots are valid.

Also, there are the inevitable delays caused by malfunctions in poorly designed and maintained equipment being handled by non-technical officials not competent to deal with them.
I'm lost. The point of using DOH (which isn't DPRIVE, which is itself a moribund project) is not using ISP DNS servers in the first place. Can you maybe rephrase this somehow?

I had Caddy server running and port 80 was open, but the scanner also said port 53 was open. After quitting Caddy apparently both ports are now closed. Any reason for Caddy to open port 53?
Ha! I picked up the original project (dosemu1) from an abandoned skeleton created by Matthias Lautner. I was a larval programmer and Linux was very much in its infancy. I really wanted to run Civilization on my one computer without keeping the DOS partition around -- staying on 24/7 Linux was a point of pride back then. While I got quite a few programs running well under dosemu, I never had much time to play Civilization after picking up the project.

Thankfully, when I got out of my depth and then joined a fledgling new ISP (MindSpring) as the first engineer, the worthy James MacLean took over and turned it into a solid system. Not sure why I'm not listed in the THANKS, but perhaps it's revenge for the poor code quality I left behind. :-)

It was one of the most enjoyable projects of my career, despite or perhaps because of how little I knew and how much I had to learn.

Around twenty years ago my dearly departed father had a multi-year war with an acorn woodpecker. The little pecker liked to hide its nuts under my dad's roof shingles. Those birds are outstandingly persistent and after a while and enough nuts they would pry up the shingles. Maybe a quarter of the shingles on one side were affected at most. About once a year my dad would go out on the steep roof and repair it.

After a few years of that he got fed up and shot the bird with a bb gun. He didn't find a corpse but didn't see it again. And that shot apparently solved the problem. It must've been just that one bird.

He may have broken state or federal law though.
If I remember correctly the XML format was just an XML-encoded version of the binary counterpart. Including all or most of the bugs and weird hacks.

As bad as the original name was, "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows", I think it was still better than WSL.
Great look into the distant future. Any idea what year this is set in?

Also do we know if TSLA will rise today?
Does it require login to force an update? I have a dynamic IP and it shows a open port (possible router management) of another user updated couple of weeks back. I understand that the cached results provide faster results, but does it make sense to cache results for dynamic IPs?
This is not a pro-AirBnB comment, I'm just pointing out gov't probably cares more about the money from hotels than "protecting residents". Same with Uber and Taxi/Transit.
It's not a coincidence that we have idioms such as 'digesting an idea' or 'ruminating' . It takes time to assimilate and relate concepts, it is not a write operation.

Good. Now if only they would quit the US too.
I love how every comment here is about the Atari ST instead of what the post is about, which is where the 069H byte check actually came from.
In Mac you can fill in PDFs with the builtin Preview app. I like it.
Good for Europe on more than one level, I suppose.

So, did you just find that image of the Statue of Liberty on Reddit as well? https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/ixjn27/a... one of the top comment chains mentioned this explosion.
I forget sometimes how much happier I am in my philistine pig-ignorance of what really goes on.

The title reminds me of two things. The blacklight sketch on SNL where everything had gross stuff all over it, and a week ago when I was trying to figure out why a button on a website wasn't working in Firefox, and so I opened the network tab.

Every time I even moused over anything there were four network requests. To so many different origins. I did not want to see this (like the joke of turning your lights on in NYC so the roaches have a chance to scatter before you walk into the kitchen.) I kinda miss when we had a visual indicator that network traffic was going on. I might still not want to know but the social pressure of it would at least slow their roll a little bit. Maybe 1 request per mouseover.
TL/DR: The author doesn't know how to learn, and rather than admit it and fix that problem, he's blaming it on the learning materials instead.
Swift for Android would be a real milestone. There are not so many mainstream cross mobile development platforms.

I regret not saying "net neutrality" as the reason for cancellation when I cancelled my Xfinity last week. I instead said "Unusable upstream bandwidth when 3-4 people are doing remote work/learning". We just got municipal fiber and it's committed to Net Neutrality, and gigabit up and down.

Aside: They spent several minutes up front establishing rapport (I kid you not "You sound like such a nice person!") then when I said I was calling to cancel service he turned it into a personal slight ("I thought we were friends, why would you do that!").
For config files, we add comment lines with references to issues, commits, comments, conversations, etc.

Here's how a colleague put their comment in a .json file:

"The_whys": [
"https://repomanagement.com/GoodCorpHere/XXXXXXX/issues/XXX#note_XXXX",
"https://repomanagement.com/GoodCorpHere/XXXXXXX/issues/XXX#likely-parts-and-draft-fix",
"https://repomanagement.com/GoodCorpHere/XXXXXXX/issues/XX#likely-parts-and-draft-fix"
]

But you make a good point. It could be done by adding an agreed upon field in TOML/JSON/YAML config files that would contain warnings, but not for now.
good job on the simple UI! I think it will prove useful next time I have a form to fill.
The US does not have a justice system, it has a legal system.

You need to come to grips with this fact before anything else even begins to make sense.
Just check your home IP from your phone (off wifi). A friend found port 80 was open on the public IP and closed on the LAN....
It's a bit too easy for large corporations to exercise control over Congress, so we (Americans) have little faith that they'll execute on pro-consumer legislation.
Your website is amazing! I hope your students are way more engaged to be learning physics being able to interact with the content.
GRC's ShieldsUp! has been operating since fall of 1999, in case anyone else was wondering.

This is not, in fact, universally agreed upon.

Citation needed. Because right now we're running most our Apache TomEE and Tomcat applications in prod on a 64m or 128m heap and handle hundreds of requests or messages per second. And this is on an ancient JDK1.8. On JDK11, we're thinking of running between 16m and 32m heaps.

I am the same way. I use emacs for git, org notes, small adhoc scripts, but for actual project work – IDE, hand down. I have converted a long time emacs user to try PyCharm once. He was skeptical for a long time, then he switched.
It is a real country, with a real Democracy. But if it weren't for an implicit threat of US intervention, it likely wouldn't be. My point is that its existence strikes me more as an artifact of America's of geopolitical posturing and, a policy of containment left over from the cold war than anything else.
How about not using the term "ROM" to refer to software images people install on to writable storage?
> Flattening the curve will only slightly decrease the total area under the curve.

I don't think that's true. Time delay has a number of actual long-term benefits. Hospitals are less likely to reach capacity. Better treatments can be developed. And, of course, eventually we'll have a vaccine.
Exactly. Until it's part of the suite it doesn't have Google's full backing and no guarantee that they won't kill it.

I use Keep to share lists with my spouse but even that I don't put anything important into because it could go away as quickly as it showed up.

When people discuss fighting income inequality, they're generally referring to structural obstacles, not the precise dollar amounts of the post-tax income distribution. If we increase Social Security funding by 10% with a haircut to all incomes above $100k, but don't change the underlying division between rich professionals who choose whichever job most satisfies them and poor millennials who never expect to achieve career satisfaction, I don't think we've successfully fought income inequality.
This is pretty pathetic of Facebook; and they stoop even lower by claiming embattlement solidarity with other businesses because of the pandemic.

A lack of safe, secure and legal international data transfers would damage the economy and hamper the growth of data-driven businesses in the EU, just as we seek a recovery from Covid-19.

Clean up your act, or leave the EU data in the EU; we all know you're not going anywhere.
Exactly this! Journalist should report "from all perspectives". But today rarely we see this - just look CNN and Fox News - only a single perspective is reported on both sides! "It's lying by omission."

I'm not sure what the difference is between sites "not working" and "breaking", but as a counter point, I've seen neither in the past three or four years of exclusively using Firefox as my web browser.

Weren’t there special compression softwares that added even more capacity?
Yes definitely, many lines of shell in YAML (or Docker files) is one of my pet peeves. It's always better to invoke a shell script. Then you can use ShellCheck on it, your editor will syntax highlight it, you can parse it with Oil (osh -n) [1], etc.

And yes there shouldn't be too much of a difference between what developers do locally and what the CI does.

It's sort of an anti-pattern if you have a bunch of automation that can only the CI can run. The developer should be able to run it on their machine too, without CI, and without YAML ...

Speaking as someone who has seen evidence that remove viewing actually works, put simply: we don't know. But it certainly implies that we don't know everything about the universe and how it works.

I would also point out that any non-obvious technical advancement wouldn't have a plausible mechanism of action, until we learn enough to figure it out.

It's a puzzle I would certainly like to figure out. But it's also a puzzle with far-reaching implications for both physics and society. It would have massive implications for privacy, and even calls free will into question. (If it's possible to remote-view the future, is that just one possible future, or is it /the/ predetermined future?).

You know what? On second thought, even having seen it work, I would be more comfortable staying in denial and assuming it's bullshit. (And THAT is why all this is classified.)

My eyes just rolled so hard they might be stuck in the back of my head.
Hotels in the US by far do not have security. It depends how large the hotel. Typically, places with large meeting spaces or banquet halls with a few hundred rooms and bars/restaurants will have security.

But your typical mid market hotel in the ~80 room to ~160 room range like Hampton Inn, Residence Inn, or Holiday Inn Express will not have any security, or anyone on property other than 1, maybe 2 people working the front desk. And they certainly aren't going to do anything other than call the police if something happens.

And the police may also choose not to do something if they don't feel like doing anything.
I'm still confused, because "curl -D - https://beta.shodan.io/host/$ALIP" where $ALIP is the IP address of my Amazon Lightsail instance, gives different results depending on where I do it from.

If I do that query from home, it correctly tells me that 22, 80, and 443 are open. If I do that query from the Lightsail instance itself, I get 404. I also get 404 if I do it from work.
