Well, it feel entitled because he mention about don't want to 'let untrusted websites run javascript in my browser'. Said untrusted website however, is the author's website. And it feel like the author need to answer these personal request.

I mean, it may technically true in every way, just not a nice way to ask for something. He can simply just ask(hell, I'd love that too) without giving his personal technical reason and it will feel a lot nicer.

Agree on Heroku as well - the cognitive overhead they help take care of is well worth the money. There are other commenters saying "but it's expensive!", but your comparison should be Heroku vs. a Devops person (or yourself), not Heroku vs. <cloud_service_that_you_manage_yourself>.

My one complaint is that their support seems to have gotten worse over the years - they used to have great support engineers across the board, but have hired poorly recently, specifically in off-shore markets, so depending on what time you send in a ticket request, you may get someone who doesn't fully read your ticket or comprehend the situation, and just fires back a canned reply.

This usually gets solved if there is enough back-and-forth as they then seem to escalate it properly, but I have noticed that the initial reply to support tickets are not as good as they used to be.
Warp Drive News. Seriously!
That’s not the case. There are tons of driving laws that are based essentially on a subjective idea of what is safe or reasonable. Laws about cargo being secured safely. Laws about the driver’s view not being unreasonably obstructed. Laws about the driver being distracted. Laws about exercising appropriate caution in response to traffic, weather and road conditions, the presence of pedestrians and other dangers and obstacles, etc. There are tons.

Thanks, you made me think. You might be right. An unsubstantiated part of me wants to think that oil being pegged to the dollar and the dollar being pegged to nothing is the ultimate root cause. What allows western aligned funds like Softbank to accumulate so much mis-managed money that WeWork is even a thing. I feel like this whole thing will collapse and Bitcoin will look honest in comparison.

I might be wrong (so happy to be corrected by a native speaker) but I liked when I heard that the German word for convolution is "faltung" which translates to "folding". This is a much nicer word to metaphorically understand the operation. Maybe it still confuses the hell out of German undergrads though?
Excellent catch.

And that makes some sense. A huge percentage of the country lives in a fairly narrow band near the US border in large cities. With not a lot of driving to other cities. Because they’re too far away.
Did we lose a smaller percentage of our population in WWII and that somehow goofs up our death rates which then somehow feeds bad data in to life expectancy because the way they calculate it is off?

I’m asking because this is the sort of thing which gets discovered all the time. Even, or especially, because it sounds so implausible.

Summary of Measure What Matters (OKR Framework)
It's not quite that bad.

A M.2 SATA SSD will fit into any socket designed for M.2 SATA or M.2 PCIe SSDs, without damage. A M.2 PCIe SSD that only uses two PCIe lanes will fit into any socket designed for M.2 SATA or M.2 PCIe SSDs, without damage.

The only way to run into trouble is to force a M.2 PCIe SSD keyed for four lanes of PCIe into a M.2 socket keyed for SATA only with no PCIe lanes. Forcing this requires you to install the drive upside down and overcome the 0.5mm misalignment of the 1.2mm wide notch in the drive (meant to be filled by a 1.1mm key in the slot).

If you merely install a SATA SSD in a slot only wired for PCIe, or a PCIe x2 SSD into a slot only wired for SATA, the drive will fail to work but nothing will be damaged.

(You could theoretically also end up in trouble by forcing a SATA or PCIe x2 M.2 SSD into an appropriate slot, but upside down. However, this requires considerably more stupidity on the part of the user because in this scenario the SSD has two notches in the connector, so it is fairly obvious that any mechanical difficulty with installation could be due to having the card upside down. When installing a drive with only one notch, it's less obvious that the difficulty arises from a fundamental and intentional incompatibility.)

I've always been curious if the Flash animation studio really had anything to offer in terms of usability over, say, modern HTML5 in WebStorm or Visual Studio.

Absolutely, without question. Timeline-based visual animation tools and shape tweening were amazing, even back in 1999-2001. Friends and I used Flash to render animations to video, too.

I've yet to see anything else like it.

I wouldn't even call it white skin, actually. It's not really a flesh color; breaking out the Digital Color Meter, it's slightly warmer than a grey.

Then there's the way light reflects off of it, some of it looking rough or dirty in a way skin usually doesn't, with some parts brightly lit as if by one very bright source. (I think glare explains some of it.) The breasts themselves often look brighter, and sometimes cleaner, than everything else; occasionally they do match the surrounding skin, which naively looks a lot better until I realize I have to abstract out the lighting.

Even if you can't vary the skin tones, I think that using more uniform lighting would help. And maybe something dumb like spraypainting the main body a mono-color would work, although that might make it more complex to show scars.

Does that work reliably with Ryzen processors? I've only had Intel laptops and it's a real pain to get them to not throttle regardless of temperature, power management and being plugged into the AC.

The steps are something like the following:

Install ThrottleStop
Disable "BD PROCHOT"
Set a mild undervolt via FIVR -> CPU Core Voltage -> Unlock Adjustable Voltage
Enable FIVR -> Memory -> Disable and Lock Turn Power Limits
Increase Turbo Boost Long Power Max, Turbo Time Limit and PP0 Current Limit

If I replace my existing XPS 13 (1065G7) I'll definitely consider AMD if throttling is less of an issue.

Not sure if search engines can provide user defined algorithm plugins for searching or day use search algorithm 1 or 2.

Most of the time feel like I am restricting myself from watching new videos in youtube because it might think I like this starts to recommend that will be a problem. So I don't even anyone my mobile to watch youtube videos. They should have incognito button so that I can watch new stuff.

One thing that bewildered me about reddit talking about Trump is that the amount of Non-americans that would chime in about our politics. Like why the hell do you care about my country so much?

Why do they think our countries influence is something they should try to sway?
Another way to describe the difference between Germany and India is that's the difference between a rich society and a poor society that has (a few) rich people in it. This distinction also correlates with multiple factors of collective well-being, including life expectancy, and income inequality.

America made the choice in the 1980s, with the arrival of Reagan, to transition from being a rich society to being a poor society that has a fair number of rich people in it. Income inequality has deteriorated since then, the quality of public services/public infrastructure has severely degraded, and social trust is rapidly eroding. It's almost certainly too late to change course.
I didn't articulate well on that one. (Also, the thought was half-baked.)

John Cleese was honestly a good man with good intentions, quite progressive a short while back. But time progressed in a way a little different than his ideas, and today he's sometimes blasted by those to the left of him.

Weinstein was a different kind of change story. He was running in circles that purported (at least publicly) to be 'pro women', even providing strong backing for a female US politician. Of course his private actions were 100% out of alignment with the spin being thrown to the viewing audience, something that caused collateral damage to some others in his one-time sphere.

Sorry for the mishandling of that response on my part. I have no excuse, not my best contributions to HN conversation.

Huawei Push Kit for Seamless User Purchase Reservations During Shopping Festival
It's not just wealth and life expectancy, it's pretty much every metric. Homicide rate and test scores are two big ones in my eyes, given the prevalence of firearms and a (seemingly?) subpar public school system. That being said, I think it's less so the American system, and more that the US "steals" the best of every other country.
I love how you described wealth not only in a financial sense, but also in a sense of civic responsibility.

Hey, author of the article that's now linked at the top of this page, nice to meet you. You wrote a fine article. You should be proud of it. I was wrong about which article should have replaced the blogspam link that originally graced HN, and your sibling comment to this one ("Hi there, ...") did a great job of explaining why with patience and politeness. The mods clearly agreed and made the right call.

This comment I'm replying to, though... you don't need to do this. If it had been the only reply you posted, I would have come away from our exchange with a very different opinion of you, and that would've been a bit unfair. Just something to think about for the future.
>Compare wealth and life expectancy of any ethnicity living in USA with the population living in their previous habitat, and the US population comes out on top.

>Japanese Americans for example have higher life expectancy than Japanese in Japan, and I expect the same would be true for Ethiopians.

Similarly, Americans do well on PISA compared to their ethnic relatives. (https://www.unz.com/isteve/the-new-2018-pisa-school-test-sco...) Asian Americans do better than Asians; whites do better than Europeans; Latinos do better than Latin Americans; and blacks do better than Africans.

Hispanics and especially blacks' scores drag the US average down. Both white and Asian Americans score higher than Canada (and white+Asian is essentially Canada's racial makeup), and higher than New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Norway, and the UK; Estonia is below US Asians but above white Americans. Norway is by far the wealthiest Nordic state but its average is only two points higher than the US national average, despite not having a demographic that is 13% of the population and scores 85 points below the white American average.
Any UTF-8 code point can be stored in 4 bytes or less, and so as long as you don’t care how many characters your string ends up displaying to the user or try to dissect the string by “characters” somehow, you’ll probably be fine; it’s just a series of valid UTF-8 code points that have meaning you don’t care about at your storage layer.

If you’re tokenizing UTF-8 strings or trying to count “displayed” characters, then you also have to watch out for zalgo text that can use unlimited chains of code points and combiners to construct a single phrase out of potentially tens or hundreds of code points. Think it as a recursion limit of sorts.

I feel that Unicode and cryptography share the aspect of “don’t try to write your own code to deal with it, because you’re certain to miss something important”.
This is an interesting study, but there are so many influences that the article can't cover (probably due to its length) that it is a struggle to even draw questions from it.

Everyone dies of something. The fact that US people die from things at a different ratio from other countries is interesting, relevant and uninformative on the topic of life expectancy. Picking out obesity - the fact that US obesity rate deaths are higher than the comparison countries doesn't tell us anything about life expectancy. Are they old fat people, or young fat people?

The article also can't rule out Simpson's paradox style effects. Hypothetically, say the US is just much better at bringing sickly babies into the world and nursing them on into their 70s it would have better care and worse life expectancy. I doubt that theory could even begin to explain what is going on here, but when comparing average statistics of huge and diverse populations effects like that can creep in very subtly. Statistics can be completely misleading if the treatment is short and only deals with part of the picture.

I'm feeling good about reading an article with lots of data, but this didn't do a good job of addressing the title matter.
A right delayed is a right denied. And it's not just queues, apparently. It's the office is closed. The line isn't moving.
That's a setup for something that used to be a common interview question: how to extend a dynamic string or vector when you need to grow the allocation. If you allocate a fixed amount of excess (say, 5 bytes) when you need to grow the string, then repeatedly appending to your string or vector has quadratic cost. And an early version of Microsoft Foundation Classes (pre-STL, from the 80s) had this bug in the string class.
I have recently tried to pick up a domain name on Freenom and had extreme difficulty getting the website to respond and issue me a domain name.

I used to work for one of the oil giants. They had codified standards for bribery, a la: "While we do not approve of bribery, we recognize that in some places we do business, they are an unfortunate necessity. To that end, we have standardized our practices to keep everyone involved as safe as possible".
I recognize the clever point. Investigations in cases such as these will gather evidence to bring to a grand jury, which will issue indictment. So investigation would either proceed to either the grand jury trial, or be abandoned due to lack of evidence. In the case of jokes, it would be the latter, and experienced offices would recognize this early, perhaps before beginning, and focus on other cases.
Thank you! I appreciate the detailed answer
I’m sure you’re joking, but I think Jobs was referring to property taxes. I’m not sure how much other tax they could contribute to a local town (sales tax is probably much less than the property tax).

Tell HN: I think Ruby on Rails is dying, and it makes me sad
I've been using Rails for over a decade now, and contributed occasionally. I think it's a great framework and that Ruby is an awesome language.

Sure, it got some hype in the early 2010's, and understandably the hype went away. It doesn't really matter, it's really just hype.

Yet I feel like the framework is slowly dying.

Here's a simple GitHub issue I submitted 6 months ago : https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/39456
The only feedback it received was an upvote, and then… automated stale messages.

Here's another one, which suggest changing a default setting which is quite obviously wrong: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/39711 Again, the silent treatment.

And here's a PR I submitted, for what I think is a neat improvement (in a slightly advanced scenario). Got a couple comments (that didn't really address the core issue) like 6 months ago. And then, nothing but automated messages from a bot…
https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/39520

It makes me feel sad. Especially with major companies like GitHub and Shopify using the framework…
