I used to take one in France, but I could not sleep well (like when taking an overnight flight) and arrived tired. It was a alternative to spending 5.5 hours in the train during the day, or flying. (then this service stopped)
One thing that is missing is the possibility to take a shower before leaving. I don't think there is any public shower in train stations in France any more. Same problem with night coaches: after having walked in a city the whole day, I don't want to make the experience bad for the other travellers.
I usually use a thin (cotton/silk) sleeping bag because I can't be bothered with the provided linens. No sleeping pad, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone use one. I think the padding is fine, it's certainly not unpadded. The more expensive compartments do have more comfortable beds.
Not the docs, the library code is (for the most part) automatically generated

This is actually a good example of how the thing works, you have to use MessageBody as an argument name to send the message. Or use the Entries argument

Those names and that usage style are far from Pythonic
It would be great if it was brought up constructively. However, this thread appears to be about mocking the concept of psychological safety in the workplace.

Except they induced the experiment. If your A/B test might negatively affect millions of people, and the only upside is your quarterly bonus, maybe it is immoral to be running those tests.
I very much doubt the conclusion that a lack of clearnet alternative means people have assembled on TOR. That's ludicrous honestly.

There have been a number of reddit alternatives over the years, typically the result of some act of over-moderation that drives angry people to alternatives. These always become cesspools of hate & racism because they advertise as 'free speech' alternatives (due to swinging too far in the opposite direction that drove people there in the first place).

I think most people who want to use the old interface are simply just using the old interface. Until they completely drop it I don't think that will change. Because anyone can start a reddit clone but it's useless until you can convince a mass amount of users to switch & stay there, which is extremely difficult.
The Caledonian sleeper is a funny one because the trains got to fast so the train now just stops in a siding near Edinburgh for a few hours to let people sleep and continues a little later in the morning
I love this. But how do you smoke cigars? Do you get a nicotine hit? Do you partially inhale? I find cigars mystifying.
> SAML is the only mainstream user of XMLDSIG

That’s not quite accurate. XMLDSIG is widely used in SOAP, and also in the European XAdES signature standard (which is an extension of XMLDSIG).
It also introduced, and led to the broad adoption of, a few really nice features: truly effective spam filtering

Google Mail's spam filtering is many things, but I don't see why it's been particularly effective. Adaptive spam filtering was already being done before GMail came along, and unlike GMail's approach, the filters in other popular email clients didn't lurch so far towards avoiding false negatives that they all but broke normal email by having so many false positives.
After a contentious few years politically, the powers that be are targeting the platforms they think are influencing people away from American political norms.

Not to say these companies should not be held accountable, but they should target the industry.

One sides political rhetoric being pushed down or up in terms of visibility can’t possibly be public preference itself. They must insist the public’s free speech include both sides.

It can’t be generational churn seeking to deprecate outdated, immoral political norms; racism and feudalism are forever.

The political class is worried their back room gerrymandered system is being end run around.
Ask HN: A Web template created in just HTML and CSS. Would you consider buying?
These are thousands of Web templates available for different products and frameworks e.g. WordPress, Ghost, Bootstrap, React, Vue, Hugo etc.

Would you ever consider buying a website template written simply in clean HTML and CSS, and with an attractive layout and graphics (but not tied to a product or framework)?

I ask because I am interested in creating something like this. But is it futile given how saturated the market for templates is? Would you only be interested in a template available for the framework or product you use?
High-speed, on-ground (or underground) transportation will be the future for the average Joe. While low-orbit flights may be a viable solution to transport for the upper class I bet that a sustainable railroad network will keep the folks moving in the mid term. It is not so hard to get carbon free and yet so effective.
Hum, interesting, that's an angle I hadn't thought of. So it's a comparison to the reliability and durability of cockroaches. To me, it immediately evoked a disdain to the idea of having cockroaches in my house. So it had a negative association in my head. I wonder how much product names can affect marketing draw, I wonder if product research goes that far.
It would sometimes work but I think this (very common comment) misses the general point, there's absolutely fine and non buggy on warning-worthy code that can be optimized away if the compiler relies on UB. A very simple example:

void do_stuff(int *some_ptr) {
do_substuff(some_ptr);

*some_ptr += 2;
}

static void do_substuff(int *some_ptr) {
if (some_ptr != NULL) {
*some_ptr = 10;
}
}

do_stuff calls a subroutine that does a NULL pointer check, then unconditionally dereferences the same pointer.

From this the compiler, if it decides to inline that code, can decide to optimize the NULL check away since if the pointer is NULL it's guaranteed to trigger UB. The logic being "clearly the programmer assumes that the pointer can't be NULL here, so thanks to UB rules I can too".

There's nothing wrong with this code, there's no reason to emit a warning.

Distinguishing between "of course that's a reasonable optimization, that's probably what the developer intended" and "wow this compiler is so dumb, obviously I never meant for that to happen" is a very tough nut to crack.

At this point you can push the blame to the C language not being expressive enough, in this case not giving us a way to express nullable vs. non-nullable pointers within the language, which forces the compiler to lean onto these UB heuristics to optimize.
I believe they meant that the API bindings themselves are autogenerated - which I think is pretty likely given how baffling and un-pythonic some of decisions in boto3 are.

You're right that much of the documentation clearly isn't auto-generated. Of the many Amazon APIs and tools I've worked with, boto3 among the better of them in terms of documentation.
Hopefully they'll find out some horrible things that our public servan^Wmasters are doing, and leak it to Wikileaks... where have I heard that before?
Exactly, which is why I was disappointed at how much screen time was given to literally just watching people moving pieces. The story was quite shallow, and the ending wasn't rewarding at all.

For all the anti-vertical farmers out there with a highly USA-centric view, consider that the Netherlands (the world leader in indoor agriculture aka 2nd largest exporter of vegetables in the world [1]) is investing in vertical farming and research into it. "This won't work in the US therefore it won't work anywhere in the world" is a very limited view. New York, Japan, Singapore and other regions and countries have very good reasons to invest in it [2].

In the spirit of the internet being past its peak and rapidly getting worse, we are now entering the second serious dark age in human history where the amount of porn available is shrinking. The first was the porn ban of tumblr, where one could find specialized tumblrs with archives spanning thousand of pictures as narrow as for „blonde guys with visible legs on beaches“ or „redhead girls dressed up as clowns sitting on balls“. Reddit is a weak replacement. Who knows how long they will allow porn?

Yes, yes, I know: Won‘t anybody think of the children!

I charge it nightly, and it’d struggle to get through 2 days for sure. I think the activity + music combo does drain the battery quite a bit, but it’ll still get through the rest of the day. Pretty low bar I know.. I have thought about using it for sleep tracking and just charging it in the morning because it definitely doesn’t need a whole night to charge. But yea, battery is definitely a weakness of Apple Watch.

I can find no data on that, and transoceanic flight have to fuel up at takeoff airport thus can't exploit lower taxes at home hub (commonly done with shorter range flights).
This was discussed at length when it was first submitted here 5 years ago. The researcher found a (known) exploit, claimed $2500, then a month later used internal details he gathered (and saved) from the first exploit to breach the system further to demand a bigger payout.

> They had an OS that was launched on one premium phone, well behind iOS, Android and Windows phone.

Nokia had Maemo since 2005 and tried to move to MeeGo in 2010. IOS was 2007, Android happened 2008 and Microsoft had almost no success with Windows Mobile, only launching Windows Phone near the end of 2010. Weird definition of well behind.
I have spent the last year building an algorithm for more efficiently trading using Interactive Brokers API. My algorithm is not a stock picker... I think this is best done using human judgement. I pick stocks based on business fundamentals, and while this strategy has underperformed during this bubble market, I think I have much lower downside risk than the people with fear of missing out.

I think retail investors like me just need a more efficient algo for getting in and out of stocks... Currently the big players can game the market far more effectively than a single trader just putting in a limit order here and there that gets quickly filled.
Sounds great at first, very soothing.

SF is trying that playbook. Hopefully the fleeing residents and companies are a warning to other cities in the US.
It also conveniently gets the train out the way of rush hour commuter traffic.
It depends on the specific years and places, but cities have almost always been net negative on human life. In that they import people from the countryside due to heightened death rates in crammed 'urban' areas. Rural life has had a history of being 'clearer' and healthier as a result of lower density. Though the ravages of diseases tend to affect less populated areas worse as the inhabitants are not as immune to a variety of diseases, however this is debated. The rise of Romanticism / countryside-escape and the Industrial Revolution occur at the same time for the reasons the OP mentioned.

Yeah, speed of PCB transmission is ~8 inches (~20cm) per nanosecond. Which is about 2/3 of the classic "light-nanosecond", which is roughly a foot.
I read The Plague this summer.

It's absolutely not an "overreach." The FTC is actually starting to do their job after decades of letting industries consolidate. Congress should increase their budget so they can do more of it.
>I feel much colder indoors in the winter in the bay area compared to in NYC.

NYC is uh, special. Due to the prevalence of steam heat most apartments I've been in usually open the windows when it gets too hot in the winter. Having a thermostat in such an apartment is a status symbol.

In short, combination of humidity plus tons of waste heat means you generally don't get cold there (unless something broke or you don't live somewhere with steam).
You don't have to hate someone to want them to behave better.
Theres a recent video on the print where the speaker recounts the ambassador of Japan directly speaking up during an event and pointing out that Japan got to where it did because of its democratic behavior.

Democracy has everything to do with those countries getting better, since a democracy works by building institutions and business models for the non authoritarian world depend on working institutions.
I very likely didn't, could you try explaining it in a way less subject to poor interpretation? I think, at least judging by a sibling comment, people are not understanding what you are meaning to say. English is not my first language, so I apologize for any confusion.
Im sorry, but this was alot of fluff to read. Good visuals, though, i see what you mean.

You are perhaps of a different generation. In the 1980s, it was possible for young people in Europe to get a all-in-one ticket where you could travel as much as you could for four weeks in the summer. The tickets costed about 250 €. It was a bit a thing that defined my generation. People who traveled on budget did meticulous time-tables to spend as few nights as possible in paid hostels, traveling to Paris then to Vienna to Athene to Rome then to some small place in Portugal and so on. Returning hungry, exhaustauted and longing for a good shower but with bright eyes and full of experiences, meeting unknown people, made many new friends, and seeing a nice bit of the continent.

It is perhaps one of the reasons why my generation defines itself as Europeans. And it is utterly painful to me that my young niece and her generation, at least at the moment, can't do it.
Freestyle Libre is a device you attach and replace every seven days. It can be read by a hand held patients get but there are apps for some features. Even it can be off and living with one you get used to where its going to be relative your actual level.

So I doubt they will get far from that any time soon. The first company that can do it without puncturing the skin is going to have one helluva a market. How that is done, if that can be done, is still to be seen. Perhaps there is some other measurement not yet considered which can offer numbers.
I suppose that's possible with some special cases, I wouldn't really know. This type of energy loss would be quite different from the claim parent mentioned about "stored heat" though.
If your tests make you write worse code, what have you gained?
My favourite are the motorrail sleepers where can you load your car on the back of the train.
I've also seen plenty of horrifically deep layered stuff in PHP, and to a lesser extent JS. Just like Java, it's possible to write elegant well structured code in any of these languages (yes even PHP, even though I still hate PHP).

And of course you can... purely in terms of organizing building blocks most object orientated languages are pretty much a super set. I think the problem is most people are not consciously aware that object orientated approaches are just a pattern, and like any pattern you shouldn't apply them to everything. Being built in to many languages gives the impression they are as fundamental as a loop or a function - those are technically still abstractions, but far more primitive and less subjectively applicable... Object oreanted patterns feel like they are in between domain specific and basic building blocks, the higher you go the more polarizing these become, trying to use a DSL will seem absurd for one thing extremely elegant for another - when classes fit they are beautiful, but when they are carelessly used as a default, they are annoying bags of loosely coupled functionality and data that only serves to obscure relationships.

I'd speculate that the prevalence of poorly applied OOP is more to do with legacy and culture of the language along with the focus on how to use the language for newcomers.
Travelling through Europe by train is a must. Sadly most modern trains are sterile zip-locked contraptions.

In Eastern Europe you can still find trains with windows to peek out of and doors to dangle your legs from.

Maybe not the safest experience, but certainly the most memorable.
Generally agree, though fingerless gloves are nice compromise.
Sometimes though you can expect to have another implementation at some point in the time however. A good design anticipates which are the key interfaces where this applies. Second thing is that sometimes interfaces can act as binary firewalls. Recently I was able to split a few classes conveniently into a shared library since their functionality was expressed in a pure c++ interface.

I disagree with your last point. In many cases in teaching, the teacher knows the correct path better than the student. One example I've found is that when an experienced teacher says "Practice this. It's boring and you won't enjoy it and you'll wish you were doing something more exciting, but investing skill into it now will pay off later" I very rarely regret listening to them even if it seems totally useless at the time.

I think 2017 showed that it will be damned difficult politically to make any change that requires a hard fork to Bitcoin anymore.

Pure proof of stake is fantasy. That's not "Bitcoin" and it never will be.

My personal hope would be that mixed proof of work and stake with on-chain governance, like Decred (their devs have built much of the Lightning Network tooling, performed the first cross-chain atomic swap, etc.) - could be adopted; but, realistically, I think that's also a fantasy.

The year isn't over yet. The graph shows an uptick in the last month of the data. December might be quite a deadly month.

[1] is an earlier study of excess deaths for several countries. "The US suffered some 275,000 more deaths than the five-year average between 1 March and 16 August". It looks like Spain has a significantly higher death rate as well.

Why did Spain and the US do so much worse than other relatively uncontrolled countries in Sweden, Africa, and Asia? Is it genetics? Population health/demographics/density?

Frankly, the order is one step short of "copy your Shared drive to a hard disk and mail it to us, we'll take care of the rest."

I'm genuinely interested in what US Code permits the FTC to ask for such a trove of company information and strategy. My suspicion is that they're reaching. We can talk about whether we feel it's an overreach or not - you clearly feel the opposite of me - but I hope someone can chime in with the actual mandate or code.
Agree it is hard but important to do to avoid discrimination. It’s less “regulating algorithms” and more “protecting personal data and access”.

Google and other big data co’s should not be allowed to profile unregulated and that’s exactly what they are doing.

I think a reasonable solution is that if a company is using someone’s “personal data” (legal definition pending) to configure/curate/personalize/uniquely-alter their experience in any way, that they allow the consumer or user to change those settings.

Configuration variables will open up transparency and is the first step to having a personal data right.

If an “Algorithm” is too complex to allow a user to configure (black box), they need to provide a way to opt-out to a general organic / main audience one then.
