You're completely correct but I'm not sure that negates the point.

What a person's specific religion is isn't interesting, just like their hobbies aren't interesting. They just don't say a lot about the person.

What _might_ be interesting, is if you only have one interest in life. e.g. Bubba Blue (from Forrest Gump) isn't someone I'd want to spend a lot of time with, even though I like shrimp.
Note how the JVM JIT kicks in from the 2nd iteration onward. This was tested on a 2019 Macbook pro 2.6GHz i7. I took the fastest Java and C# submissions.
I wonder how this compared to the Biosphere 2 experiments conducted in the 90s. It seems this is a much more artificial environment, and thus probably closer to an actual moon mission.
Isn't every NDA basically the same? What makes theirs especially "airtight"?
It’s a massive marketing and reputation coup.

Besides, Intel has the kind of margins and volumes that if TSMC wanted to massively expand their production lines, Intel’s orders could underwrite it.

Finally, there may be some technology transfer advantages as well.
I'm sure people do at least now and then. I almost certainly have--are at least I'm not super careful. And I know mine does get accidentally yanked out every now and then.

And I find the covering of the whole cord tends to deteriorate over time, which isn't strain related.

This site provides game music rips from many video game systems, both arcade and home.

The VGM format is interesting because it captures raw commands as sent to the music chip [1] It's kind of like .nsf or .sid, but supporting a huge array of sound chips based on different tech - simple square wave, FM synthesis or PCM sampling.

Because the risk of catching it from spending more than 15 minutes indoors, unmasked, is much higher than all those other activities.

If your date is a walk in the park six feet apart, then great, you're probably fine.

If your date involves touching, hugging, kissing, or vigorous sex in a small bedroom for more than 15 minutes, then you have a much higher chance of spreading the virus.
I’d say Rusko is responsible for the whole brostep thing. You can see how it all grew from his tunes.
Whenever I read a biography about some person I admire, I always end up disliking that person. Failed relationships and abandoned responsibilities are exceedingly common (especially among artists and people who are highly driven to success). I think that most of us have some “unsettling” details in our past. People are imperfect.

The allegations of physical and mental abuse here are particularly bad, and I’m not trying to make any excuses for Rodriguez. But they aren’t exactly uncommon in this world, either.

The tone of this article feels a little too judgmental to me. Like Rodriguez somehow had an obligation to all the people who were interested in his story, and has let them down. But is it really surprising that someone who died in such unusual conditions, with no friends or family to report him as missing, would have had a rough past?

The author also says at one point “maybe that’s the prettiest bow you can put on the box that contains this strange story”. But why should we as interested observers feel the need or be entitled to “put a bow” on this other man’s life?

> Could very well be, but there's no way to prove that.

Sure, but espionage and surveillance are rarely about proving anything, they're about making good educated guesses. Besides, the receiver will very likely be among your friends and acquaintances, so the NSA would only have to look at your social circle to find them.
Stenography is common, but usually it's just modifying the last bits of an image or hiding the extra payload after the image data. This is "drawing" within the audio spectrum, making the image out of audio that will be audible.
This is a good suggestion and something I am going to attempt to negotiate. I think part of the problem is something a person called out below -- we are fundamentally different. She does not need the same amount of time alone and may resent me for wanting that. But something to try.
As much as I dislike Zuck, I think WhatsApp is being honest about what's happening, if you follow the link on that page to https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/about-...

I.e. it's more about allowing sharing ad viewership data between the platforms (FB, IG, WA). "But WhatsApp has no ads?", well, I guess in February^W March, Zuck's going to pop up on your phone and say "Surprise, motherfucker!".

On the topic of businesses, I remember booking a domestic plane ticket in Asia, giving the travel agency my phone number, and getting WhatsApp messages from the agency's business account. I guess there were no concerns about data privacy laws there...
I suspect this is related to all of the people getting kicked off of other social media platforms. Signal may be becoming the platform of choice for the far-right to share disinformation and organize.
This very inspiring, great job! This place has that effect. One of my open source projects got a lot of popularity just because I posted it here on HN and people found it useful (or at least the tech keywords were baity enough).
I not suggesting anyone is going to recommend being homeless. However, understanding issues is important when trying to address them. For example is it better to give 100$ to a homeless shelter, food kitchen, or a homeless person.
> But in the long run knowing all that makes it easier. We could have some GUI for doing all those things but it would end up being a massive mess of buttons EVERYWHERE and endless menus.

I didn't cite the commandline itself as the problem. PowerShell does a significantly better job at making sense than typical core-utils do, but you hear people used to core-utils bad mouth it all the time because it isn't exactly the same as core-utils.

And I submit that your lack of ability to conceptualize a GUI for doing the same thing does not mean one can't exist, but that is beside the point, because I don't think knowing how to use those tools is a necessary and fundamental part of programming anyway.

Someone who is just getting started in a new programming environment shouldn't need to know the ins and outs of a dozen different tools, especially when those tools are used to solve problems that user has not even conceptualized the existence of yet.

Again, this all comes down to one thing: why is it so damned complicated just to get enough of a programming environment running that the user can write a goddamned program? Not write it well, not write it efficiently, just f'ing write it in the first place?

Boneworks certainly takes the cake as my absolute VR title. It beats even Alyx in terms of gameplay alone. Playtime-wise I spent most hours in Elite Dangerous - flying in an HMD adds so much to the game that its hard to put in words how immersed I feel.
A thing that collects files, posts, comments, geolocation and other data about me, and displays it day by day. A sort of "on this day" for my life, with room for a daily journal entry.

It's already running in production, and collecting my backups, social media posts etc. I add new sources on occasion.

Unfortunately, it's really hard to access my own data on other services without relying on manual imports. The biggest hurdle is getting my photos, which Google Photos is holding hostage. There isn't an easy way to export text messages from various apps. I'm not too sure about Google Calendar either.

It shows how little control you have over your own data.

The background here is that WhatsApp previously stated that they would never share user data for profit, i.e., not selling ads [1]. Reading that blog post leaves a sour taste in HN's collective mouth, because not 2 years later they would get acquired by the ad giant Facebook and now mandate that users agree to share their data with FB. The wording made it seem like accounts that didn't agree with the new policies would get terminated on February 8th.

A few days later, WhatsApp posted [2] that their update was misinterpreted by users and media, and that the clarifications to their policies were to increase transparency. They also pushed the ultimatum for a few months.

How are you identifying your genetic variants in the DNA data? I'm still learning how to do that, so any pointers are appreciated.
Read anything about amazon working conditions.
There are a lot of liberal/leftist communities online with that same gripe. Democrats pander to "pop politics" but have no plans for labor reform, healthcare reform, etc. that would go a long ways to helping the majority of the people in this country.

It's all theater.
I wish the person that downvoted you would give an explanation. I'd love to know how to avoid the middle step of switching family to Signal before, once it's more usable, switching to Element. (Or perhaps they meant that decentralization isn't better and Signal is the final destination. Guess we'll never know.)

It's... Not even close. What I had in mind was what clinical narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths do. Their brains are wired completely differently than what is regarded as normal, to the point where you can see that on CT scans. There was a story about a researcher who figured out he's a high-functioning psychopath by looking at his CT scans. I'm digressing. So, typically, starting from a very early age they'd learn the behaviors they need to do in order to not get into trouble. Down to 'make an upward arch with your mouth when you see someone who knows you'. Must be very hard to live like that, I don't think it's comparable to what introverts do. Because introverts simply amplify behaviors that they do have, or understand, or are at least able to relate to from parts of personal experience. Contrast that to literally coming up with an artificial persona that you can't even relate to in any way and having to always stick to that.

This is why the masks ar pretty much always super charming and likeable. If you're acting anyway, might as well act like someone that's super likeable. Pretty much how you max out a player in some game.
For more complex string matching tasks that the built-in patterns cannot handle, LPeg might be a good choice. I think it's not likely that something like PCRE-compatible regular expressions would be included in the Lua standard library because PCRE is fairly large, by Lua standards.

By the way, for formatting Lua tables for debugging I like using "inspect". (It's not part of the standard library but oh well, that's the whole topic
of today's discussion).

Yeah, this was a classic success disaster for Signal.
Interesting!

But worth noting is that there are cancers that feed on estrogen for example. And other users have noted that cancers don't just feed on ketones.

But it's really cool because keto seems to be a diet that truly works, also requires some will power.
It’s simple though, stop claiming people are breaking the law (front-running) if you want to have a productive discussion. It’s not a “technical detail”, it’s a fundamental property of not being able to beat an order that made it to the exchange before yours.

The reason your concerns are brushed off is because they are nonsensical to anyone who actually understands the market. You’re complaining about extractive behavior but are unable to articulate how it is actually happening and calling it “front running” shows that you definitely have no idea how HFT is making money.

Describe the steps by which you think having something like first look or just faster access to the exchanges allows HFTs to unfairly extract money from normal trades.
The worst must also face accountability.
And unionized cannot? Maybe my children’s school is unique but the teaching there is radically different than my own.

A couple of years ago there was endless complaints about new ways to teach math.
Ease of use depends on your computer literacy, I think. For me it involves pasting the IMDB ID into a fairly popular public torrent site (eg. tt0095560) and feed the magnet link to Transmission running on my storage server. When it's done, it gets picked up by LibreELEC and is ready to watch. Could my mother use this? No. But you don't need a computer science degree to do this either.

When Netflix launched in Denmark, I immedately jumped on it. It used to have endless amounts of great content, and was way more convenient than piracy. Now it's just filled with trash, and I can never find what I want to watch. Piracy has again become more convenient.
Perhaps a "cracked" version can either use unofficial servers, or permits/includes cheating mods?
Stock with ticker SIGL surged 6000% on Jan 11 - investors thought it's the Signal Messenger. Same like the wrong Zoom company.
That's about Chinese people in the US. The headline explicitly says "people in China".

Note that even for Chinese people in the US (myself included), Signal was in my experience a pretty minor choice when Trump was trying to ban WeChat. Whatsapp, Line, etc were among the favorite alternatives.
Bumble is badoo. Interesting.
Depending on your platforms of choice, iCloud Drive has been a great solution for me. I was an early Dropbox user who got out when they started limiting the number of syncing devices for free accounts a while back, and the $0.99 a month I pay to Apple for 50GB of storage in a folder that appears on all my devices works exactly like I want it to - I save stuff there, and then forget about it until I need it, and its magically on whatever device I'm using.

Sync could be a feature, or sync could be a product. But the lesson seems to be that if your product is sync, and you grow big and take lots of outside money to do it, sync won't be your product for very long. You'll need to expand and try to do everything else that could use good sync as a feature.
>badly biased in areas relating to leftist ideology

Leftists could and do stay say that your opinions about their ideology are right-wing biased. What makes your statement more accurate than their position?
>There is no good reason for it. Employees at top companies are forming unions because they think that will allow them to say whatever they want on the job... It’s spoiled, overpaid techies upset they can’t use work time to preach political and social issues.

... you do realize you're making those broad, blanket statements in the comment thread of an article that's about the unionization of Amazon's warehouse workers who aren't "spoiled, overpaid techies", yes?
No, I'm saying their audit process focus more in box checking than actually seeing "you left the key under the mat"
In 2017 when I was single I got vastly more matches and responses when I changed my bio from actual information to a stupid joke about phil collins
Hi, I was a union organizer before I was a software engineer. I'll try answer your questions without much commentary:

Is everyone required to join? No. Following Janus, they might not even be required to pay dues. However, the union contract will apply to everyone in the bargaining unit (generally all non-management) regardless of membership.

Is Amazon required to negotiate? Yes, they're legally required to make good faith negotiations. Whether or not they actually do this is an open question, as companies regularly stall here.

Can Amazon simply close the plant? Not legally, no. They would probably end up owing the workers quite a bit of money if they did. Whether or not they take that course of action may be a business decision.
Given the multiple reports of deplorable working conditions in Amazon warehouses it seems like they would be ripe for unionization. Unions can be seen as the backpressure on corporations mistreating the workers, which Amazon has become notorious for.

It's one of those things businesses have to take into account when trying to compete. You can abuse your employees to gain competitive advantage over your rivals, but in the long term such tactics tend to result in the formation of a union which is a major competitive disadvantage in the global marketplace.

It's bad news for Amazon if they can no longer honor next day delivery for Prime members because of strikes at the warehouses. The workers have some leverage with strikes. It's not like coal miners where strikes were rather abstract because the lights never went out. This pain will be felt by the customers, and it's not like there aren't other businesses out there where you can mail order stuff. Maybe not all from the same shop and maybe you have to pay for shipping, but if Amazon doesn't know when it will be delivered because the product is in the warehouse and labor negotiations have stalled it's a reasonable tradeoff.
This is like having a spy on the street 24/7, but instead of cameras above like in London, cameras everywhere sending data from all the world to the USA for being analyzed and recorded forever.

For me this is dystopia. You can't get out of your house without being recorded all the time, just like in China.
(Not OP) I know replying "seconded" is out of line with Hacker News guidelines, so I'll add that in addition to the above, I'm also curious about whether it can cooperate with any front-end frameworks
Hi! Author of the article here - let me know if I can answer any questions about TuxMake.
>Unions used to be for protecting the workers and ensuring that companies were getting the very best skillsets when hiring.

Labor unions in the US formed primarily to combat exploitation by employers, often in the face of great oppression and cronyism that led to literal bloodshed[0]. This is one of the reasons unions can't be part of the companies their members work for, unlike in Europe. Unions in Europe formed from trade unions that had a longstanding history in European economy. That said, all you have to do is look at union activity in France, where there seems to be nationwide strikes every year, to dispel the myth that they are somehow more cooperative or amenable to making concessions.

> Storage doesn't have a built-in failure mode like contacts and location have.

Yes it does: disk full. It's perhaps a bit less reasonable to expect a program to keep working properly in such a case, but it needs to be handled somehow.
Neat! It would be good to know how this is different from Satnogs, e.g., max weight/momentum of antenna, what APIs etc.

Satnogs looks great and is probably more sturdy, but I can't just buy one (no kits afaik), and it is probably more complex to build one.

It's weird that the US didn't catch up with the UK how to "solve" the "problem" of unions. You see last year we got changes to a law that is called "IR35" which essentially says that people working like employees should be taxed as employees. Nothing wrong with that - until now (I simplified this), if someone had a business of providing a service (for example bespoke software development) and if they realised their relationship with the client is of the employment in all but name, they had to declare themselves in scope of IR35 and pay the tax accordingly. Person inside IR35 has to pay all the taxes employees pay, but they don't have any employment rights (because they are not employees). And here is the genius twist - someone thought, what if the decision about the relationship is made by the client? That sounds innocent, right?
Now (from April) a company can start hiring contractors instead of employees and write their contracts in a way that will make them always caught by IR35 (and declare the relationship as such). Since contractors are not protected by any employment laws, such de facto employees cannot form unions, can be hired and fired at will and don't have other protections - for example if your "employee" gets pregnant, they can be fired without consequences.
It makes _total_ sense to migrate to AWS's Elasticsearch product. This is, I think, the problem with incredibly powerful companies. Acting rationally as consumers makes them more powerful.

I mean, I still buy stuff from Amazon, use Gmail, etc.

We definitely need to rethink how OSS is delivered, but part of rethinking that is understanding how dominant AWS over OSS revenue.
You all realize half the reason we have "bad schools" is that families home lives have been falling apart for decades, and schools are the only government agency (except for maybe the police...) interfacting with those families on regular basis?

That and hyperlocal funding.

We can't like society as a whole fall part and expect schools to keep on performing well.
They clearly are trying to drag this out hoping everyone will calm down and forget about the policy changes in a month or two, then silently change it..

The current iMac design is really great; there is nothing wrong with bezels on a desktop monitor, what harm do they do?
The chin is a good place for the apple logo, it also raises the screen so you don't need a stupidly tall looking wobbly stand and it allows you to change the screen angle without touching the screen.
The current iMac stand is very solid; and it almost squats on it; in an extremely stable way.
The memory is simple to upgrade, it slides out from its own little door; and the curved shape overall is very stylish in a slightly retro way.
The ports on the back are the only pain you need to add a hub.
The mock ups of the new iMac that have been shown look like a rather boring monitor.
