There's some equivalence, but consider the amount of engineering and research that Facebook, Instagram and Youtube put into keeping eyes on screens, and I think it's worse than ever.

Yeah Indian equivalent. Its called PF (401k) and PPF (IRA).

Show HN: A YouTube for Twitch Clips

I was planning on finishing it up before sharing, but since content creators on Twitch are all mass deleting their old content due to being frightened of DMCA I'll might as well publish it now.
I had a similar problem with Japanese. It was ok when I kept up with it every day, but at the default settings I was repeating so many cards so often that the time I spent running through the decks was becoming frustrating. I took a camping trip for a few days and came back to several hundred cards per deck waiting for me and it's been hard to get myself back into it.
The performance overhead is an interesting point here. I read a few times that Firecracker has better performance characteristics than Docker.
The Chernobyl explosion was not due to hydrogen and oxygen reacting. If you heat water hot enough to dissociate, it will explode just from the pressure of the steam. There's no need to add endothermic chemical reactions to the scene.
This was bound to happen with proprietary services like GitHub. It's better to use self-hostable services like GitLab & Gitea, where we can have regular backups of everything - code, issues and any other metadata. So, the service can be up shortly.

Sure, GitHub like features offer more than just a space to host our code. It has become a goto site for example, finding new and interesting repos to contribute to.

It's important that the devs or community that develop a software think about the potential censorship it might have to encounter from thugs like DMCA, based on what is it that they develop and evaluate the choice of hosting.
It’s just silly to introduce “Antifa” (which isn’t a singular thing) into a discussion about the pros and cons of nuclear power.

I agree with you that in 2020 there should not be ads in any paid product. But people did pay for cable for decades, after all.
I think Anki helps build the necessary knowledge base to make such connections, but actually making those connections comes with putting that knowledge into practice.
Sad but true! At least at the OBS level, it's an application running on an operating system instead of in a browser controlled by a corporation (ok Windows is becoming more walled too...)
The problem is, how do you make sure it has no virus?
Why does Indian society think it's ok for a letter to be written in this patronising tone?

For a newspaper to write it, it must be acceptable somewhat.

As a youth today I'd be more worried that you are seen as so weak that they can talk to you this way.

Western society does jab away at the youth (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/avocado-toast), but not this bad and the youth fight back.
Domain-Centric Architectures Every Software Architect Should Know
Well I'll take the bait, is there like a second god for other planets and species? Would non-human intelligent life have souls? Why wasn't this mentioned in the Bible? Doesn't this mean that both creation stories are inconvertibly false?

I understand that Catholics usually believe in evolution, but how could they square away the fact the vast majority of all life could exist without knowing salvation via Christ? Being ignorant of Christ doesn't automatically mean you are damned, but this now means belief in Christ is optional and kind of just a localized thing some humans choose to do.

It really should effect you, if for example aliens claimed their savior was the "real" messiah, how could you dismiss that?

I get that these are just dogmatic questions that arise everytime two religions become aware of each other, but it metaphysically pretty difficult too, like events the Rapture essentially cease to make sense or will have to be radically re-imagined. Questions about whether biblical commands apply to ET life are going to be difficult as well, let alone missionary work.

Upon reflection ET life isn't necessarily bad for the logical consistency of religion as I initially thought, but is more organizationally difficult.
I appreciate you for being open, vulnerable and expressing your ideas. However I am black and what you are saying does not sound correct to me. I know a lot of black people (including my family) who listen to Dave Ramsey and watch Fox News. Black people are in general pretty religiously conservative in the US. Personally I used to watch financial TV channels growing up like CNBC and listen to Clark Howard and Susie Orman.

I can see the appeal of a straight talker and pull up by your boot straps personality such as Ramsey. He has helped a lot of people. His style does not work for me personally.

I personally think the financial problems (in general) with black people (aside from racism) in the US stems from two related things: the lack of a coherent family structure and lack of intergenerational wealth transfer. The single-mother family poverty angle is pretty clear: Single mothers have low availability and are poor, and poor people tend to make poor financial decisions due to exploitation and desperation. The intergenerational wealth transfer angle is if you have something of value you are going to transfer to the next generation, you are going to spend time teaching them how to care for it. Think transferring a business, property, and other assets. Legacy is a real important thing for most people. This is something rare for black Americans. Unfortunately in a lot of cases the thing that is transferred between generations are debt obligations.
>>> Office politics is how you make sure that what you want fits in with what everyone else wants

Correction: Office politics is how you work toward some goals in spite of other departments having other goals, some goals are incompatible/opposite and cause the other department to actively work against yours.
No, this is false. The reality of the people and the personalities was that there was a smear campaign of RMS by his enemies going back to at least ESR and early versions of CaTB. The open source movement started out as "free software without Richard," with some pretty nasty people wanting to be the new leadership.

Perhaps it was inevitable that RMS would be taken down by neutral third parties, but now we'll never have any way to know. The reality is he WAS taken down by people who had been smearing him with exaggerations and half-truths for at least the last quarter-century, and this was part of that dynamic.

I don't feel bad if people are taken down fairly. I only feel a little bad if people are taken down by, in your words, "a witch-hunt by prudish SJWs." I feel very bad when people are taken down by enemies spreading half-truths.
You can add or remove companies from the license agreement yourself?
Yep. Lack of support for nested routes is what's keeping me away from Next.js too. A tab view that doesn't rerender the whole page requires jumping through many unofficial hoops with Next.js.

Even standard patterns like having seperate components for page header, sidebar that doesn't rerender the main content section feels very hacky with Next.js, and that too after digging through many people's blogs to read how they accomplished that.

I guess next.js really wants you to ditch the whole SPA idea atleast when it comes to routing.

I hope folks also explore more moderate patterns like server rendering only the first page load (either with react dom or using state hydration) or exploring better separation of client bundles too, and figure out what works best for them. Rather than sticking to whatever next.js or CRNA are set up for by default
There is definitely a component of familiarity in the feeling or mental state that we call "understanding" (which is why analogies help understanding: they explain a lesser known thing using a more familiar thing). The brain is a neural network and repeated learning inputs definitely help. It's an oversimplification to look at the brain as if it's a simple Turing machine.
In the unfortunate scenario where in I’ve to shut down ente.io, I’d definitely open source every bit of code I’ve written so that my efforts wouldn’t be in vain. But I’d understand your skepticism.

If you are keen on self hosting, I’d also recommend checking out Piwigo[1] which is actively maintained.

I followed the Napster trial closely. Napster’s argument that it had legitimate use was demolished because it had an ability to monitor the specific use of its service on an ongoing basis. That is, it could see queries from users as they happened. In fact, this ability was at the core of the service since Napster relied on a centralized search index maintained by the company. The court ruled this gave the company a more active role in contributing to infringement than the precedent Napster was trying to use (which involved VCRs - the Betamax case).

The courts remedy (at least at the preliminary injunction phase) was not to shut down Napster but to force it to comply with search blacklists provided by the record companies.

youtube-dl obviously is not a service so had no ability to monitor ongoing use. IMO it would have a much stronger case for legitimate use.

IANAL
Maybe all of the replies are from managers and CIOs :)

I agree, it keeps working just fine. You see it every day on the real internet.

You expose an API to me, I build a website around it. If one day your site disappears, I need to alreadt have backup strats in place on how I can get data like yours elsewhere. I have nobody to blame but myself-- after all, I'm getting the data from you for free!
Has anyone ever in the history of complaining about this type of script run one and had it nuke their computer? What are the odds that the domains and companies and projects that use this have built their online presence just to pwn your computer for the lulz or that they have been compromised by a malicious actor without being detected at the same time you run the installer, and no one anywhere said anything?

How about if instead we exercise critical thinking and make our own assessment of the risk and act accordingly? Why would you choose not to pipe a shell script from a site you don’t trust but execute their installer instead?

If you don’t want to pipe it, download it and read it first.
CANDU reactors are a moribund technology. The attempt to sell new ones to Ontario ten years ago came in too expensive by a factor of 3. No one is buying them.
Google Play Music was great. It let you put your music library in the cloud and play it anywhere. Simple! Pay money and extend it with Google’s streaming catalogue too. Even better!

A simple product with a clear identity. In many ways a finished product with no need of big changes or a replacement. A Spotify-killer really. It certainly killed my Spotify-account.

YouTube music is the exact opposite in every way. No clear identity, it’s main selling point is some vague benefit of having access to the “YouTube catalogue”. Whatever. And your uploaded music is deliberately siloed off in a separate section which doesn’t integrate at all with the normal playback, search and playlist-functionality. A complete joke.

Why oh why does Google think this is an improvement for ... anyone? It’s offensive, really.
This would be like teaching slaves to read in the pre-civil war South. It would allow any child to rise above the worker bee status. Not something wanted by todays powerful businesses and institutions.
apropos-documentation (C-h d) and apropos-command (C-h a) provide some such functionality.

I don't see any buttons to answer the question or enter your answer in the app. I am dumb or is something not working right?
The tools mostly come from Grayshift, an Atlanta company co-founded by a former Apple engineer, and Cellebrite, an Israeli unit of Japan’s Sun Corporation. Their flagship tools cost roughly $9,000 to $18,000, plus $3,500 to $15,000 in annual licensing fees, according to invoices obtained by Upturn.
The police can send the trickiest phones to crack, such as the latest iPhones, to Cellebrite, which will unlock them for about $2,000 a device, according to invoices. Law enforcement can also buy a similar premium tool from Cellebrite. The Dallas Police Department spent $150,000 on one, according to the records.
Probably better to just jump in and learn a popular programming language that has the libraries you need. Most of what you want to do has been done before. Simply read the documentation and follow a tutorial. Avoid new technologies and the latest fads.

Because what you want to do has been covered extensively, you'll mostly be calling functions in libraries to do it for you.

You couldn't.

That sentence is the maximum possible available for a particular type of offence.

https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-co...

You'd need to combine location (possession at school, or in prison, or at a place where there is serious public disorder) or effect caused (causes serious alarm or distress), and also intent (crime based on hostility to religion, race, disability, sexual orientation or transgender identity of the victim), or the blade would need to be a "highly dangerous weapon" (ie, not a swiss army knife).

Carrying a swiss army knife, and not having a good reason to do so, would be culpability D and harm 2, and so the sentence at mags would be a band C fine (about 1 week of your pay) or a medium level community order.
I was hoping they would actually secure Meet so that not just anyone with the meeting code can join.
"You can process up to 300 transactions per second (TPS) per FIFO topic or FIFO queue"

I want to say Kafka can do significantly higher messages per second on a single partition (and significantly higher than that on a many-partition topic). I don't think it can compete for a lot of use cases as a result. If I were in the market for managed Kafka, I think I would just go straight to Confluent.
TLS not E2E. When Zoom got called out for lying about having E2E [0], I looked into the landscape around this a bit. Facetime and Signal are E2E, but don't support recording, which would of course need to be on-device if implemented.

Does the distinction matter? I think so. There's a big difference between the provider promising to keep your data secure and to not do anything underhanded with it versus the provider simply not having access to your data.

We use a self-hosted Jenkins for CI/CD, tests. Does Gitlab offer anything substantially better in this regard? I am open to moving away from Jenkins but only if it is better. Jenkins is easy to maintain and relatively simple to configure.
First, I think you might be a decade off on both accounts.

Second, the connectivity was not the same at the time, ideas travel much faster now.
Good catch: I’ve written many thousands of lines of shell scripts over the years and that’s exactly the kind of rake in the grass which is too easy to miss. Using set -eu -o PIPEFAIL helps as does shellcheck but it’s still easier than it should be to have unexpected behavior from something you thought was well tested.

About 15 years ago I switched to Python for anything which doesn’t fit on a single screen or uses any advanced feature and have had zero reasons to regret that decision. It’s especially good for anything you use with other people since you spend your time talking about features rather than how to trick the shell into working correctly.
Do you know of any systems that do this? Seems like a good idea.
What is your approach ?
Do take us through the ideas you investigated and what you have seen personally work well
It can help. In the article, I recommend Nielsen "Seeing through a piece of mathematics", which is about exactly this. http://cognitivemedium.com/srs-mathematics
France has managed quite well and has shown the way IMO. Yes they turned against nuclear now but their policy before was quite successful.

Although maybe the biggest concern being expressed is by the old who are in dire need of the youth working to look after them. From that perspective, the situation seems a little sad.
Maybe the issue raised is that libraries/APIs that define an ABI (Application Binary Interface) can be used from multiple programming languages that share calling conventions. So a question is about how Julialang libraries can be called from other programming languages. The "Embedding Julia" chapter of the manual says that from C there is an interface layer to lookup function objects, box parameters, and call.

It's unlikely to be a youtube-dl wrapper. A quick search of GitHub reveals a wide range of YouTube downloaders, written in languages from C# to Java and wholly independent of youtube-dl.

* https://github.com/dqn/youtubedl

That said, many of them are clearly hobby projects, badly documented in the main and not at all polished. Whereas this is apparently a commercial closed-source tool with no visible means of income.

The fact that Utubster's screenshots show an unadvertised "system repair" program forming part of the supposed video downloader does not inspire confidence.
In case you aren't aware, there are plenty of tutorials out there that help you get a raspberry pi to boot from USB, which allows you to use any HD there is.

Moreover, nothing stops you from getting everything to run on a RAM drive. There are raspberry pis with 8GB of RAM on the market right now.

Having said that, an official raspberry pi SD card with 16GB is sold for 10$. Not exactly something that pushes you to bankruptcy.
BTW, I just installed it using `choco install youtube-downloader`. Nice to have while they don't find a new location.

It also showcases a marvelous advantage of using git as a VCS, they automatically have multiple backups and can easily transport the project. And it showcases that all the other project info, like issues and comments should also be under version control and downloaded in developers machines. You can't depend on an external service for your project.

BTW, is it possible to use GitHub features in a distribute way? E.g.: create issues in my machine and pushing it to the server?
We in Austria have such courses. It was in the core plan of the public school I was on. I think two years long. One or two hours a week. It was as called "economic and economic law".
What's the relevance to HN here? Yes, youtube-dl got whacked from github, but I doubt the youtube-dl users - especially on this site - want to replace it with a closed source, Windows-only, proprietary GUI tool with no reputation at all.

I don't disagree with you. Maybe I should have been more precise with the term 'language learning'. If you find yourself in the situation that you propose, I think you are already at native level in the target language. I'm mostly referring to those that try to go from zero to C1 or C2 with it.
> It's not crazy to suggest that pedophiles are mixed up with the government.

Yes. It. Is. Because that suggestion requires evidence, which Q Does. Not. Have. Rotherham is not evidence for Q. Epstein is not evidence for Q. Rotherham and Epstein existing in history are not a license to make shit up about democrats and pretend it's the truth.

I think to an extent financial education suffers from the same problem as CS education: it's hard to find teachers because those who understand the content can make much more money as practicing professionals than as teachers. It's really a shame because those two sets of skills are very important. Most of my self-learning has been in these topics, to fill in the gaps left by my formal education.
