Just a random thought: How many total hashes of applications does Gatekeeper track?

It's not that hard to have a SQLite database of the 50,000+ most common hashes physically on the computer... It would be tiny. If there even are that many!
I too have doubts about the real-world suitability of the Raspberry Pi in formal education environments, but certainly the business of resetting it _is_ a solved problem; every kid is issued their own SD card, and can flash it back to the starting image whenever they want.
Dr. Dawkins was my calc. 2, 3, and differential equations professor when I went to school for engineering.

He's an absolute treasure as far as teaching goes, and I don't think I'd be as successful and skillful at math had I not had him as my instructor. He's insanely energetic and positive in the classroom, and he's basically perfected the art of getting "math" into other people's heads.
I can't tell you how many times I wished there were "sleep rooms" in our university to wind down in afternoons and get refreshed for more study and work.

They should at least offer them for PhD students who spend most their life in office.
This article does not apply to TCP over SSH, as in SSH port forwarding (not openssh's VPN feature), in that case the timers are tied together and you don't get the crappy cascading behavior.
Last time I used it there were two fees (I don't remember exactly what they were called but it was like a service charge and a delivery fee) and dashpass only covers one.

Also in my experience (in Chicago) the food in the app costed $1-2 more per item (this wasn't listed anywhere, but if you compare the cost with what the resturant charged it was a lot more).

Also there was at least one resturant that I visited that would give you less if you ordered through a delivery app to make up for the fact that they had to pay a fee. This is shady and shitty on the resturant's part and not really DD's fault (although frankly it's kind of predictable) but it was still a thing that happened when I used the app.

I haven't used it for about a year though (because of the above shady practices) so they might have changed.
Maybe. Maybe Californians just aren't actually buying the "oppressed rideshare driver" narrative as much as we've been led to believe.

This is what something like a kindle shines. That isn’t such a bad form of screen time. Other devices are dangerous for me because, well, here I am on HN rather than preparing for my day. If I picked up my kindle instead I wouldn’t be on HN.

I agree partially, even those people in rural areas depend on fuel, machine parts, technology, books, cleaning provision and most importantly medicine and medical attention.
Just imagine, dying because of simple cuts as you do not have antibiotics, or after few years, having issue with tooth decay, food poisoning... communication wise probably those that would remain would go back to good old radio wave, and what when all parts burn out... there wouldn't be anymore China or Amazon to order spear part, how many people know how to make diode, transistor or resistor DIY?

I am not saying it is not doable, but thinking about people who got crazy during pandemic just because they were in quarantine for few weeks, and then multiplying that on a bunker environment for few years until long term fallout from nuclear power plants settles down simply does not seems as a feasible for 99.999% of people. Probably only pockets of people would survive at the end Also question is in what form and how badly would be long term DNA damage for human offspring.

Nature would find a way, as it always does, not sure about humans. Literally, it could be as a ancient story of flood but this time with fire...

This only seems like part of the story, though. What do we know about other work these people do? Is Uber maybe a supplemental job because the primary one doesn't pay the bills?

Also please provide sources if you make such claims :)
One doesn’t admit to a material misstatement if it is at all possible. It is a HUGE deal because it admits that someone fucked up and the error wasn’t caught until the audit.
For people with 'untreatable' or 'psychogenic' chronic illnesses, universal healthcare would just mean a different institution denies your claim for treatment.

Progressives, especially in 2020, don't look kindly on people who lack faith in medical institutions. A lot of people with chronic illness have found themselves in this category after being failed by these institutions.
Maybe the desktop environment itself is fine but for third party apps I don't see $10 range nifty apps that boost productivity on Linux.

Half of the apps I use are on Linux as well but that won't get me to the productivity on macOS.
It's just weird none of the high profile tech sites or social media I followed mentioned this outage? I really hoped for more of a noticeable backlash for a high possibility of change.
No. I don't presume your motivations.

I just think Occam's razor applies here.

Either directly following the passage of the civil rights act southern voters suddenly en masse rejected neo-capitalism, or something else was going on...

I know it is unpopular to discuss but there is a high correlation between trump supporters and racial resentment measures. It is silly to ignore that.
You're not wrong, but none of those things are why Trumpers hate him. It's racism, pure and simple.
> where by they tell upstream what they are doing and if upstream wants to continue to be "Github compatible" well upstream better adopt it as well....

Do you have an example of this? This seems like it would be a hard sell as there haven't been many (any?) breaking changes to Git itself in a long while.
Everything is political.

Social justice existed LONG before Jesus' time, it just didn't have a specific name.
The way to think about it is as an amplifier: if you have issues with latency or packet loss they’ll be notably worse over that VPN tunnel. If you have a low-latency connection or aren’t doing latency-sensitive work, it can be okay - downloads won’t be too much different, SSH will be impacted, web browsing is in between.
This is the first post in a series that will walk through App Home design and best practices for Slack apps, step by step.

The first part is very standard language. In general, the risk section needs to cover every possible risk so no-one can sue you. The likelihood doesn't matter.

Peter Turchin has a blog post (http://peterturchin.com/cliodynamica/the-mad-prophet-of-conn... ) expressing his own views about the Atlantic article, explaining:
"I cringed in a number of places as I read his article. Yes, I propose a fairly ambitious program of testing theories about historical processes by translating them into explicit models and then testing model predictions with large datasets. But no, I don’t think of myself as a Hari Seldon. In fact, the fictional Hari Seldon had no appreciation of nonlinear dynamics and mathematical chaos (because Asimov wrote the stories before the discovery of chaos). And cliodynamics is not psychohistory."

And you went to a trust fund narcissist who has never demonstrated any care for anyone but himself, I would have voted for almost anyone other than Donald Trump.

First you learn basic calculus. Then you learn advanced calculus. Then you learn how to apply what you've learned to more than one dimension. The second one is actually the hardest of the three.

The binary you get from your upstream repositories are signed but they aren't verified after that. On macOS if you download vagrant and grant it the ability to read your project directory I can't overwrite or modify your binary without it tripping the system and losing those privileges.

That's a 2 year process to get 10K site licenses, possibly to the point where the CFO gets involved. Have fun with that.
Google isn't a startup any more and hasn't been for a decade or more at this point. Google Photos was only launched in 2015 far out of the scrappy startup stage and into the area of using their success in other areas to crush competition in a new area by willingly losing money while starving the competition.
> I don't understand why an entire elementary statistics pseudo-textbook is bolted on at the end, forming the entire back half of the text

It's quite difficult to talk about empirical software engineering without discussing methods, after all papers like [1] were deemed necessary 20 years ago and still the occasional meta-paper is published about correct design of experiments or analyses. As someone who worked in the field it doesn't seem particularly surprising to see some treatment - there are a handful of papers in my former subfield that are oft-cited because they describe a statistical procedure/experiment design consideration, but they also bundle the explanatory stats "for free".

I would hazard a guess that the intent of these chapters is to equip the reader with enough background that they could replicate or run some of the experiments in the book to try to specify findings/experiments to their own organisations. I'd follow that with an assumption that the author felt that chapter 13 needed background, and recursed until they'd finished writing a textbook.

Indeed. The team should pick the right tools for them.
How to Use Reddit as an IndieHacker
That's strange. All else being equal TCP should perform worse. I suspect it's because TCP is getting preferential treatment (eg. less throttling/qos, or better connection tracking in NAT), rather than TCP actually being better.
This is already how it works. After the first check the result is cached and then it can verify locally.
in my case, they ship a almost up to date kernel, they don't use snaps, vanilla gnome, the distro is very stable. The linux community I follow also likes where the distro is going and the overall "Fedora philosophy".
> That seems like a great incentive to hire Ray Charles to run your backhoe.

There's also a law that if you own a sufficiently large forest you need to hire a "forest manager" which, in part, has to survey the forest for potential endangered or protected species and similar.

Of course if the manager finds an area where some rare flower or bird lives then that area has to be preserved, and so you get a similar incentive where the land owner prefers managers with poor eyesight.
Well said. You can’t blame people for their limited world view though if they just haven’t spent any time in the private sector (writing a book about yourself doesn’t really count). Most progress and most wealth in our civilization has been created in the private sector. When people have no exposure to the realities behind their cheap paper towels, cheap books, cheap TVs, smart phones, etc, they often become radical and have a warped perspective.
> I don't get why the Trumpers hate Obama so much... he's always come across as well thought out and pragmatic.

I know a lot of people don't want to hear this but a large number of people just can't accept that a Black man should live in the white house. That black man can be the best person in the world and this set of population can still not accept him due to reptilian hatred.

You can't generalize every supporter obviously but you can see it from which policies of Trump get the most support. It's not like Trump actually improved quality of life for anyone but he sure did tickle the reptilian hatred.
Lately I have been doing my best to limit my "optional" screen time (optional meaning anything that is not for work and school). I fingered though Cal Newport's "Digital minimalism" [1] about a month and a half ago and decided to try out the 30 days tech fast in the book. The idea is to use this time to reset your relationship with tech and to really figure out what you value and what you are trying to accomplish with your tech habits. If other people are like me and struggle with compulsiveness with using the internet and computers, I recommend giving it a shot.

There is always a war on when property is not democratized. In the Anglophone world, the easiest example to think of is enclosure[1] which was a war between the mercantile class on one side and the lazier half of the lords and the little people on the other.

If any company, be they Google, be they Apple, should experience total "victory" in the war on intellectual property they would find everyone who is not

* An investor
* In management
* An employee
* A temp/contractor, or
* A happy customer

Set against them and they would fall. Imagine there was a neural network or network of neural networks that could arrange bits into entertaining movies. It would print money and it would not be strategic for whatever company had the resources to do that to hoard the benefits, they would have no customers if they did (I suppose if they had enough compute and memory resources to succeed in such a task they might already have a monopoly on money).

I used to understand the CEO's job as cheerleader, for the investors, for the employees. I still think that is how they operate tactically, but strategically, I think the goal of a CEO in a Obama-era neo-liberal is to put the whole world in one of those categories above I suppose, with the acceptable additions of

* Vendor/supplier
* Companies in partnership
* Competitors who participate in a trade association together in a reasonably civil manner, or
* Members of government who are lobbied to advocate for your firm or industry or a strategic need that you hold in common with the broader public

In the long run the alternative is to perish. Utopia I think may have been inevitable by the 50s/60s when people started to believe that some companies really would last forever. On a long enough time scale, it is best to do everything in everyone's best interest considered in toto.

So all of that to say that I expect one day, maybe 40 years from now, maybe 80, that IP as it operates today will be transformed into an index of ideas that everyone can take and implement who might put them to use beneficially for the citizenry and other residents. It will be nice after all of that work to have a primary key for the ideas that have been created so far, so I don't think we the people will burn down the USPTO or the LOC or anything like that.

Just declaring "oh this is a transitory job" doesn't make it so.

Yes, according to Boomer legend, fast food joints used to be exclusively staffed by high school students for whom $8.25 is more than enough for an adequate weed supply.

But that's just not true anymore, is it? And yet, its used as argument to deny full protection (for Uber) or not raise minimum wage (my fast food example).

At the very least, it should be uncontroversial to include these assumptions in legislation: require full benefits, but only for drivers driving > 15h per week. If your assumptions hold, Uber shouldn't need to oppose this, considering they have few drivers it would apply to.
Twitter should have never been allowed to give accounts to politicians while in office.

Those politicians should be working for us. Instead, some are intently hunched over their phones trying to control the way things are perceived by citizens. I'm not going to even get into the issue with media companies being paid to exploit for them. Just see Brad Parscale as an example.

But, government's function is to not just communicate with us, but communicate with themselves and work out differences. Instead, many squander that time and are insistent in over-communicating to us via available media channels! The only reason the press over-communicating to us (fake news?) is an issue is because the politicians are over-communicating to us as well. This is because of changes in media technology they are exploiting for profit.

Posting on Twitter has ZERO oversight (other than citizens posting to it), which means long term it can only degrade our assembled government and the functions it provides. It is in Twitter's best interest for the government, and the hard working people it represents, to continue to over communicate.

And, to clarify slightly, I do not intend to communicate that government should not have oversight. Instead, I mean the quality of the public involvement needs to improve. That is not done with too much information. It is done with the right information.
This is gig work. You can change whenever you want. You can move across the country. This isn't the 19th century.

What do you make of the fact that most Uber drivers advocate for prop 22?

https://www.reddit.com/r/uberdrivers/comments/i9awkm/my_fell...

Sure, reddit comments are anecdotes, but have you asked Uber drivers what they want? Do you think it's fair to deprive someone the right to work?

(I drive for Uber part time and I am happy being an IC. I do not want to be an employee. I drive for Uber because of the flexibility).
When he teaches in person, he literally reads these notes and writes them on the board. He revises his notes based on questions he gets in class when something doesn't click for students. He's been teaching for over 20 years now so they're very polished at this point.

To be fair to @pixelbash, I was the one who sloppily used "should". I meant it to imply that there's a market/economy effect that dominates, but it was sloppy/possibly ambiguous. I'm going to leave my comment unedited, but I wish I'd used "would" instead of "should" there to suggest that it's an outcome of economic inputs rather than a personal value judgment.
This is the last straw for me. Can anyone recommend a PC laptop which has screen quality somewhere near my 2013 15" Macbook Pro? My next computers will be running a desktop Linux distro.
To each their own I guess, but in 20+ years of using Linux I've never had any of those issues. Maybe it's because I'm cheap an I run it on older laptops.

As for Windows... really no issues there other than forced errors of whatever absurd company policies are in place that cause software I don't want or need being forced on my machine.
I had a new mobo broken in 1 week and replaced it with the same model and it ended up license being invalid despite the mobo being the exact same model.

I had to make a phone call since none of the methods Windows or the internet suggested worked and that phone literally took 30 min to reactivate my license again. That wasn't fun.
SLS never made sense.

Too big, too expensive, too low flight rate. These all problems contribute to each other.

Also, large solid rockets are very troublesome. They can not be fueled on the pad, so they are heavy and dangerous from casting to stacking to launch. There will never be a high launch rate reusable rocket with solids.
No, they don’t! If the server is unavailable everything works fine. The problem is when the server can be reached, but is nonresponsive.

I think that’s an important difference. If Apple’s servers ever go offline, the OS will continue to work.

>In Sweden we also have something similar to purchase orders which is common even with B2C and it always bothered me how often it is used compared to the US where credit card was more normal.

Our clients send us purchase orders in Europe, but the context is custom, turn-key, machine learning products developer for large enterprise. We take them by the hand from "I have many problems" to a product their people want to use.

We're building our machine learning platform to make that product development faster (data, scheduling training notebooks, automatic tracking, etc.). We also adopted a plugin architecture for product so we can plug functionality and, more importantly, remove functionality to allow clients to discard what they don't need and avoid a product with 2000 buttons and menu items.
Pretty much every senior politician has people keeping track of their schedule, what was discussed in meetings what the outcome was, what the key points were and whatnot. Only the personal "I couldn't ask my advisors so I discussed X with my uncle" stuff has to be recalled or journaled personally.
