Ah, yes. I remember. Ten years ago we worried about trivial things like how honest the dating sites were. In 2020 this story wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

You've just given me a horrible thought. What's the betting Google retains the free tier [albeit at a reduced level] and starts sticking adverts in amongst your photos?
I think it's more that cost per TB for HDD and NAND scaling started stalling a few years ago.
Huh, neat. My father is from Mainz, and I still have family there (I'm Canadian). I've been over many times, last time for my Oma's funeral. My Opa worked for the city for decades, helped with post-war reconstruction, I believe the title was Baudirektor at some point, not clear. When I was 19 I went over for the first time and over several days he took me through the whole core of the city, building by building telling me the history of what was there before the war, what was there now, things he was involved in, where he went to school, his grandparents, their parents, and so on. Made a huge impression on me.

It's a lovely city.
I don't think that's what is being claimed to be the issue there. More that the minority party will often resist, challenge, filibuster legislation, even if it is for the good of the country, for no other reason than "we are the opposition". There are many things that might be objected to on philosophical grounds, but during Obama's term, McConnell literally was quoted as saying his goal was for Obama to be unable to pass any legislation, regardless of the good it would do.
As far as I know activestate has a TCL IDE.

But I think like lisp, an IDE is a foreign concept in coding TCL.

TCL is a different beast, it cannot be represented with an EBNF, you can redefine anything including language keywords etc.

TCL is thus closer to a human language (much more expressive) so making an IDE to accomodate features of TCL could be harder than conventional languages.
Even though it would get terrible press and PR, a "no surprises" dating site where height and weight and photo are verified would go a long way to solving some of these problems. This way people can swim in their lanes, without wasting other people's time.

Indeed, healthcare proxy is a big factor.
You can use the database layer to achieve read-write separation as well. Martin Fowler mentioned reporting databases. With Azure Sql Database which is a SAAS you can pay for readable replicas.

I have never used Google Spanner. But my understanding of Google Spanner database is it was designed from scratch so that reads never will slow down writes so it scales out of the box.
A simple way to do this is to just shut off the main breaker in your fuse box, instant power outage. Leave it off for whatever amount of time you want to practice for. Same thing goes for the main water shut off. You could leave those two off all weekend and quickly find out what you need. Another good and simple practice run is if you normally drive to get to a local store to plan and execute a route for walking there and back. Vice versa for if you normally walk everywhere, figure out what it would take to drive to a more remote location. Planning and knowing the ground truth of alternate routes is very important in a disaster scenario. For food preparedness you can do something I call the Bean Day exercise, simply don't go to the grocery store for an extended period of time and eat only what you have in your fridge, freezer and pantry. You'll have to get creative to reach the end, you'll realize how quickly you work your way through your stock, and you might discover a whole new set of go-to foods and dishes.
And I'm questioning whether lack of open source FPGA development tools means that the device is "locked down". You can do everything that the device is designed to be able to do.

"9. Generated declarations can inline types from dependencies"

Why do they generate .d.ts files instead of publishing .ts files alongside .js files? This should solve inlining issue, no?
The great comedy is that you have provided no sources for your claims, some of which I think are false or overstated, some of which I think are true. But, a person who replied to you, with a source, about men being victims of sexual violence by women is down voted to the point that you can't reply to it!

Yes, men can't be victims of sexual assault by a woman, because having sex is the male modus operandi! I would blame HN for having a garbage community at this point but the reality is you'll see the same behavior on reddit or anywhere, society wide a male rape victim by a woman gets a high five, not trauma therapy.
I see in another comment that users have a key pair generated for them. What you can do is fetch other users public keys and encrypt data to them, or better yet, generate a symmetric key for a project and encrypt that to trusted users.

It's how we did it for Portabella (https://portabella.io) anyway but that's not based on Etebase/Etesync, just another e2ee tool

The issue of intrinsic merit is nowhere near as settled as you imagine, even leaving aside time wasted by Rust's extremely slow compiler.

The fact remains, and will remain, that C++ can encapsulate in libraries semantics that Rust cannot, and according to the Rust core language developers will not. As a direct consequence, it is possible to program at a higher level in C++ than in Rust. This gap will get larger as more libraries are written that exercise the difference, and as C++ adopts new features that expand the difference.

Within the HN echo chamber, the apparent situation is muddier because technical merits carry little weight vs. trendiness and surface sheen.

How likely game programmers are to use the greater capabilities is neither here nor there; they probably see more effect from the extremely slow compiler.
> We have powerful computers that can play 4k video games but UI design is boring boxes and most important thing for designers is to collaborate online.

I think the hidden truth here is that "boring boxes" solve most problems pretty damn well.

Unless your product is literally art/design, then you don't need anything custom, and boring boxes are probably the correct choice.

There is some wiggle room here - It's easier to attract customers with pretty designs, and you can make it easier to onboard a new user with some nice effects and design flourishes. But if you go overboard you differentiate yourself too much and make your product much harder to reason about and interact with.

As a user trying to get value out of a product I mostly don't care what it looks like. I do care a lot if slow animations or videos keep getting in my way. Nice the first time, fucking miserable on the hundred and first.
I think those are the build artifacts

Not sure, but "Harrison Bergeron" could work.
Here in Switzerland you can get it for $50 [0] and in Sweden for $46 [1].

My favourite thing about it in Switzerland is that a bunch of different ISPs share the infrastructure, so I can get that speed from ~5 providers off the top of my head (Salt, Sunrise, Swisscom, iWay and Solnet).

It's so weird that the US has most of the world's largest tech companies but its technical infrastucture is such a mess.

Are the blocklists public? I thought these schemes involved uploading files to a "trusted third party" like Microsoft, and for them to decide if the files are lawful?
Maybe that's because I came from Mercurial but I dislike rebase workflows. You can rebase as long as it is in your repository and you didn't publish anything, you are free to do whatever you want on your PC. But as soon as it becomes public, it is history, and you don't change history.

Git is decentralized, and works kind of like a blockchain. With Bitcoin, the foundation is that everyone share the same history, no one should be able to rewrite transactions. I expect the same behavior from decentralized version control systems.

And if you make a mess, too bad, it is here to stay. It is ugly, but it is what really happened.

If it really is a huge mess, call the admin so that he can fix the thing, notify everyone that the history has changed, and have your name added to the hall of shame.

But that's a personal opinion. I know some people prefer a clean (but fake) history over a messy (but true) history. Continuous integration tools tend to like clean histories for instance. You can even have both system coexist. A messy/true history branch where developers work and a whitewashed version running in parallel for integrators.
Please no. For better of worse, HN is one of the few public outlets not afflicted by celebrity culture.
10 years later, and I know quite a few people who met through online dating websites and apps, some even getting married.

So maybe the average is bleak, but if it has a good P90 or P95 success rate, it might still be worth the try.
Color space and gamma are clearly identified as sRGB.
One of the quirks about online dating products is that unlike almost every other product, success is correlated with how quickly your users delete their accounts.

Users sticking around for a long time means you failed horribly at your mission.

I'm really not sure how one would create a good revenue model for something like this. Many apps try a subscription-based approach and all I can say is that for someone who is earnestly looking for a partner, an annual subscription is the last thing they want.
> Another one: "women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium" - https://archive.is/ZJymw

Women rate 80% of online images of men on a dating site as worse-looking than their personal definition of medium.

I think it's important to keep in mind that:

* There are disparities between gender for how much appearance factors into attractiveness.

* The fact that a person is on an online dating site itself sends an attractiveness signal.
> constant pain with reading and debugging C++ templates

C++ templates are a nightmare agreed. What C++ does is just one way, a poor way, to implement generics. Please do not conflate generics with C++. If you've ever worked with C#, Java, TypeScript, or others you'll know that "generics" come in many different flavors. Some are quite nice. Generics are coming to Go ([https://www.gophercon.com/agenda/session/233094]).

Slices, chans, maps, arrays are all generic in Go - and they are great! Stuff like the sync package (https://golang.org/pkg/sync/) with interface{} all over? Not so great. Generics solves a real problem.

Ask HN: How to go from an OK designer to a great one?
Hey HN! Over past the couple years, I’ve been teaching myself how to design better UI/UX for websites, apps, etc. That said, I think there are holes in my self education, especially around font position, alignment, padding. I was wondering if you have any recommendations on how to become a better designer, either through course, exercises, books, tutorial, or following certain accounts.I want to take my design skills to the next level.
Astonishing Performance of .NET 5
Being so strongly tethered to the web is absolutely Figma's achilles's heel. Well that, and its needless Electron wrapping for its desktop version. Its file format not being open and well documented (unlike the Sketch file format) is also concerning to me.

So if they…

- Add a full offline mode

- Ditch Electron for a more focused/lightweight webassembly+canvas implementation

- Open and document their file format to allay lockin concerns

…I'd be much more inclined to use it instead of Sketch.
This is a rickroll.

The founders have a 20+ years track record of success and thus are trustworthy - that is why.
I have to agree - I like tinkering and hacking as much as the next dev, and I don't like to be negative, but... what is the point of AI/ML here, where a simple sounds trigger works just fine? What problem is it actually solving - I only see this approach causing problems.
Ask HN: What about (M)AMP installations on the new M1 Macs?
I still use my MacBook Pro for app maintenance and deployments, but all the PHP development is done on an XPS13 with 32 GB RAM and the Linux Subsystem on Win PRO. To dabble with Ubuntu on the Windows Laptop in the WSL is surprisingly fast and satisfying. I also need the MS Office Suite constantly, so running purely on Linux is not an option.

Now the questions:

Would you shift from Win + WSL as a PHP developer back to Mac with the new machines? I find the 16GB RAM maximum a bit worrying!

I guess I would need to recompile PHP, Apache and MariaDB for the M1 to get some significant speed improvements instead of running on Rosetta 2?

I also like to state, that NOT firing up a virtual machine/docker to run Apache/MariaDB/PHP locally is my preference ;-)

Any geek opinions on native MAMP environments beyond the usual Win<>Mac flames?
Random ones requiring keep attributes for no reason on larger designs to keep stuff from being inferred away erroneously. Certain issues with limitations on SV interfaces only supporting constructs used in the "IP integration" scripting as opposed to the full language spec. I am sorry if I came off as overly negative, but I really think the FOSS EDA tools are going to lap them unless they open up somewhat.
HN is marketing for YC.
Well, no. Apple buys RAM chips at that price, and they just have to swap one chip for another. The differential in price from one to the other including all costs is that much. Labour costs and OpEx are not affected by choosing Chip A or Chip B that are essentially identical.

Its actually quite rare to see a library without either first or third party support these days. Many new libraries are either written in typescript, or the authors have taken care to create declaration files or contribute to definately-typed. If a library reaches any degree of popularity it usually isn't long before a third party declaration appears.

Older libraries that are long abandoned by their maintainers usually don't have anything. At work we pretty much ignore all libraries that don't have types from somewhere these days, but that doesn't eliminate many things.
We build this ourselves. It's React with little in the way of 3rd-party "magic".
The efficiency of these reactions is much less than photosynthesis, so don't expect to find this now.

Also, it probably requires an ambient with a lot of methane or some similar compound, but probably other bacteria are eating the methane, or oxygen is destroying it.
I don't think "there are about 20k people walking around with the vaccine, they had no serious side effects for months and the vaccine protects 90% of them" can be considered "no actual outcome".

Also, this is a relatively small biotech (when compared to Pfizer and the like) which has been publicly traded for about a year now, and this kind of company depends on a good news flow in order to keep investors happy. After all, they have not yet made any money yet, and costs have been going through the roof lately due to investments into vaccine development and manufacturing.
Xi is exacting specific cultural violence as an administrator, neither the Mongols nor the Romans were as ridiculously obsessed with building an ethno-state as Xi once conquest was largely complete. Somehow, antiquity, immensely cruel and violent as it was, understood cultural/religious tolerance as an administrative principle better than a number of governments do today

Grouping Xi and Ghengis Khan is also an affront to the way in which modern state violence is exacted, we're comparing a confederation of nomadic horse warriors already habituated to raiding as a lifestyle vs a rational state organizing targeted cultural purgation

One of the extremely important things with any DIY project related to your baby is KEEP THE WIRES SECURED AND AWAY FROM THE CRIB.
A simpler solution is to stock your shelves from back to front so the oldest items are always the first you grab. Don't buy things that you don't eat on a regular basis because:

a) they'll sit in the back of the pantry and expire
b) if you do have to eat them you'll be miserable if you don't like them
c) you won't know how to properly prepare them and you'll probably be missing some other key ingredients
Safari is known among many web developers as the worst browser to develop for.
Thanks!

As for userbase: I think our and their scopes are very different. They are more of an easy way to store data that happens to use some encryption, not a comprehensive end-to-end encryption toolkit. They don't do sharing, integrity management, data de-duplication, and lot of other things that are needed for more serious applications. In addition, they don't have libraries for anything other than JS.
They get wet, cause a minor ecological disaster, lightly burn their skin (without ignition, known carcinogen), and require an extensive eye flush.

From experience, the eye flush is terrifying wondering if you'll be able to see again for about 10 minutes.

I've been pleased with PhotoSweeper on my Mac. I started with the free Lite version, then went ahead and bought the full version.

I set it at the highest match setting. If you adjust it to a lower setting, it will match things where somebody is looking at the camera versus looking away.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/photosweeper-lite/id506150103?...

PS: I was going to say that they have a PC version but it looks like the 3rd entry for me on DuckDuckGo is actually spam that says there is a PC version, then feeds you to programs that are "like PhotoSweeper". I wouldn't download those.
Wouldn’t help, the same numbers breakdown would occur, people would still be unhappy as a consequence, it would just be more up front. Well, it’s the world people want, hope they like it.
I also have 1Gbps and I'm able to max it, so long as the other end supports it (which is quite often). I regularly do it for downloads and for backups.

But generally, at 1Gbps, the speed bottleneck starts to move away from the connection between you and your ISP and towards your ISP's connection to the rest of the internet. At this point, most of the residential ISPs start to fall apart.

I wonder if there are huge advances to be made in suppressor technology? Other than the noise, guns are basically perfect in their intended function. I guess you could try to further reduce recoil.
Thanks for the schooling. In the end I'd say the effect is similar, rust belt workers are less needed than they once were and therefore wages have declined. The idea that the government can convince jobs to come back without handouts is a pipe dream.
A weekend is a pretty decent test though. If you flip the main breaker on your panel and use the water service shut off valve, you'll know in 24 hours how well you can cope. After 48, you'll know exactly what needs to be addressed. Provided you're in a house with access to those kinds of shut-offs
Reasons I can think of (unrelated to YC/HN though):

Fostering a community of tech-savy people interested in the latest technologies increases their brand size. HN is also a place where YC-related companies can advertise to and hire like-minded people. This in turn would increase the chances for those companies to succeed.

Regarding costs: I believe this site is hosted on one somewhat beefy machine, maybe two for redundancy. Compared to reddit, this site is (I believe) comparable to one active subreddit (Reddit has 100s of those), without image or video support. It has a rather simple domain model, only marginal styling, and has generally only a low overhead per page loaded, making it a rather lightweight application for the amount of traffic it receives.

Also, if you're interested, (parts of) the sources of HN are available here[0], it's a rather lightweight server in a dialect of Lisp.
