I had a callout a few years ago to fix some issues with a sheep pelter. I'd never seen one before and didn't have much context until the guy described how it was meant to work, at which point I... did not feel well. Ended up having weird OS comms issues with the PLC programming software and after a few hours of frustration wasn't able to connect anyway, but to this day that's the most morally compromised I've ever felt about my job. Which I guess is weird, I mean the sheep were already dead so it's not like it was gonna suffer more, but... ew. Ew ew ew. So much ew. Not gonna lie, a part of me was relieved that I couldn't help them.
I’m missing something in this oft repeated argument. If non-App Store distribution is the solution, there’s Cydia (or whatever the kids these days use) right? And Android is “open”, isn’t it? Just like TPB, those should be hard to block. And if you want Apple to “sanction” this app distribution method, that gets you right back to the situation where Apple can be pressured by local governments.
Yes. While it sounds impressive, it seems more like a fantasy jumble of every desirable feature they can think of than an actual plan.

"Keyboard is QUERTY". How do you misspell "QWERTY"? Yet I'm hoping they did.

They seem to be hoping for a Pixel Qi style screen (but self-developed?), but describe its reflective mode as: "A non-reflective - a button driven backlight “off” monochrome mode for very low-power use in sunlight"

yeah definitely noticing an uptick of downvotes after the wallstreetbet crowd arrived a week ago.
That's the thing, though: very few Slack users will care that it's Slack's fault that calls don't work on Firefox. They'll blame Firefox, and switch to Chrome, if that feature is important to them. (Or they'll use Slack's Electron app.)
I didn't look at my stool. There was a decent stripe on the toilet paper. I was in denial so I didn't measure it. ;)

It was infrequent. My doctor speculated that if I had a firm stool, that would cause the tumor to bleed.
Are you questioning in general the utility of animal models? If so, that's a pretty strong claim.
Yup, performance was one of the reasons I decided to port it to Rust. The other reason being that Rust gives you a single binary that is easier to deploy compared to python.
You're not wrong! But the classic "get good grades, get good scores, do A, B, C, D" gets you into a school like UNC in state at best. Most people don't have the opportunities to do the sorts of things that get people into top schools (and hoard opportunity).
Is it really? Or is this just availability bias. You choose to hang out on HN and read whatever e-rags cover startups. Meanwhile there’s probably a new plumbing proprietorship or small software consultancy starting nearly everyday in your town. They don’t get or need much press.

Global laws like copyright are some crazy level of entitlement imo. What if a country has a different perspective on how to motivate creativity and wants to use different rules? Trade embargo? War?

Iraq was justified by "democracy" being a "global law", USA volunteered to enforce it and got some others involved as well.. We also have "human rights" and then there is "copyright"?

Maybe I am misunderstanding something... I would really appreciate a run down on how they justify / implement these kinds of things...
fwiw, the version of the forum forked over there (Anarki) no longer uses the table layout. But that codebase has no direct relationship at all to the one used in HN.
Engineers are already working on quantum-proof blockchain technology.

Rust is more performant, but Java is actually much more ergonomic, since you dont need to worry about borrow checking concerns and its frequent refactoring. Still, the tradeoff is good for a game like this.

So american companies will compromise on their own freedom, an important american value and principle, for the sake of pursuing profit in foreign countries. They'd rather obey a foreign dictator than lose their business.
Does it auto-identify the page by URL, or can I specify an ID of some sort in the "code snippet" vaguely mentioned? I do have canonical URLs for all pages [1] but some pages have more than one URL.

Okay, thats nice. Do you think anyone here on HN is in favour of people going hungry?

And by a free lunch, I meant the idiomatic expression.

It would be fun to watch someone calmly and rationally explain this impossibility to the legislator. Perhaps with slides about Turing’s universal machine and the x86 architecture. And while you have their ear, maybe convince them that end to end encryption can’t be safely backdoored, and that cellphone radios won’t crash planes. Legislators have so much respect and patience for technical arguments that limit their power.
FWIW it would be impossible for him to drive the car pictured in the commercial (Cadillac Lyriq) in real life because it's not in production yet.
End of the day, we evolved and are bred to recognize patterns and project outcomes based in what we see. The problem in modern society is these instincts make us vulnerable to poor risk management.

The relationship between “crazy” antivax people and the actual attributes of a vaccine are not correlated. Antivax is a con game. Bad actors take advantage of natural instincts (ie protect your children), project false qualification and leverage ignorance to push their narrative, and usually product.

Here's the thing: It's pretty easy to chat with a bunch of experts and test your hypothesis.

In fact, I've recently done so owing to some recent health issues. As best I can tell there's almost no consensus among experts aside from "everything in moderation" and "eat a balanced diet" which isn't directed advice as much as hedging.

I have asked the various experts I've talked to why advice is so varied and their answer is that there is no consensus on many of these issues. Some had their own opinions about which parts might be right, others were clearly in the "it's a mess, just don't eat too much and wait and see" camp.

This is not a well developed field.
It’s a really great article, worth the full read. The big take away though is that the founders had essentially no business instincts or discipline, but a phenomenal product and lots of fundraising success.

If they were a software type company their shortcomings probably wouldn’t have mattered, but they weren’t.
Can't tell if this is irony.
Check out Playas de Tijuana, Mexico. Occasionally it smells bad, but not usually, and in my neighborhood we have a strong police presence. Also living a block from the beach only costs $500. And on Mondays there is a market on the street right in front of the apartment. I rarely see any homeless people. The dogs and barbed wire are usually enough to prevent most robberies as long as you don't park a really nice car on the street for long. And it only costs $500 per month for rent.

Based on the descriptions in this thread, I actually think my neighborhood is safer and more pleasant than many places in San Francisco.

It's making me feel better about my own situation.
Rust offers more performance. There are some big 3d games written in C#, but they have also suffered from performance issues.
i measured 1.6MB uncompressed (and I'm adblocking statscounter.js).

Anything that can be done about reducing the load on this?
Yes. But we lazy people always abbreviate words. How long is it since you heard somebody say 'facsimile machine' instead of 'fax machine'?
Lol, that got a chuckle out of me. Yeah, it boggles my mind that someone would be disdainful of something as useful as a good variable viewer in an IDE. While it is certainly pretty essential when you are working with data or prototyping algorithms, I also do a lot of software engineering and library development in Python and I still find it *extremely* useful in Pycharm when prototyping code, and especially when debugging.

Like sure, I could drop into pdb and tediously work through printing things out (and good luck if you are printing out ndarrays or large dictionaries or wanting to look through instance variables for an instance in your local execution context) and take 4X longer to figure out why something isn't working, or just in a quick glance figure out exactly what the issue is. I guess I'll continue being a n00b developer happily relying on a variable explorer whenever available :o).
Oh... That makes so much more sense.

I have many ever-so-slightly aged cookbooks (Asian-themed, in particular) that would always recommend, "Use rapeseed oil for stir-frying, due to its high smoke point" and driving myself nuts trying to find rapeseed oil at grocery stores. Even at Asian marts! I could find grapeseed oil, but never rapeseed.

Thank you!
Coming from the pure CS side I definitely got this feeling. But the real value it provided me was to demystify a lot of what I was working on top of as a programmer. Not that I believe that working through this book has given me a complete understanding of the stack below where I work. I think a superscalar processor with a fat OS like Linux or Windows on top and several layers of drivers and firmware between is far far away from what this book teaches. But it did help me to stop thinking magically about a lot of what is going on. It's embarrassing to admit I once thought a lot of tools like debuggers and whatnot were doing some hocus pocus I couldn't hope to understand. This book really showed me that everything going on in a computer is capital D designed.

From your first projects in CS you're sitting atop a huge stack of tech. My own education was fairly low level compared to most CS programs. Several assembly languages, C, debugging crash dumps, register watches, etc were all part of my curriculum. Even still there is so much down below where I work it is hard not to think magically. Just being given a toy model of how all this doesn't but might work was extremely helpful. This may be why you might find CS majors more fond of this book than CE or EE.

No, pretty much everyone doesn’t agree that some level of infringement is okay.

The nuclear arms strawman is a long way from the myriad of restrictions, registrations and required permission for personal weapons. Remember that during the revolution, citizens owned personal cannons and warships with cannons, not to mention bombs. If they didn’t see fit to restrict the most destructive weapons of their day, why should we do so now?

And why would you trust the citizens in your government with nuclear arms, but not the citizens your government serves?
Does one need to use advanced features? The interessting aspect of python IMHO is the "pseudo code"-nature of it's syntax that you already have on the basic levels. So a beginnwe need to learn only a sjort bit and can write friendly code that feature are feature can be enriched with something more advanced over time.
Thanks! I hadn't seen this. It's much more nuanced that I thought at first hearing.

I loved using this until before I tried using PyCharm and VSCode and switched to them instead due to irregular updates while using Spyder within Anaconda on my Mac. Also, the UI started feeling a bit in my way but that's just me I think.
why is such feature of reloading needed in the first place?

thanks
Apple News gets an A from me.

Mac gets a B for Big Sur.
The 8-bit A and B accumulators could be addressed together as a 16-bit D accumulator. The contents of A and B could be multiplied with the product stored in D. There were also two 16-bit index registers with advanced and versatile addressing modes, X and Y, along with 16-bit user and system stack pointers, U and S.

Well, this is the thing: code completion in Python is not a a simple task and we've struggled for years to improve it. Now we support the Language Server Protocol (designed by Microsoft for VSCode), but still things are not great, i.e. there are many things that can't be completed by Jedi, specially for scientific libraries.

So, thanks to Kite's software, we implemented a client for it and now lightly promote it to our users, to offer them a possibility that works better, but it's completely optional.

We also consulted our community before adding Kite integration and they were favorable to it, that's why we decided to proceed with the idea: https://twitter.com/Spyder_IDE/status/1138466325532217346

Breaking API changes happen all the time, for example here is a syscall being removed after being deprecated for 10 years http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1911.3/02404.html

Linux strives to never break the API, and when it must does it in the most painless way possible. That doesn't mean they don't ever break the API, happens much more often than one would think to be honest. It's just the caution and planning around doing so usually makes it so few people ever even notice.

It takes 10 years to make an overnight success or in this case, failure.InMay 2019, Tesla and WeWork were both valued in the vicinity of $50 billion and now, Tesla is worth $800 billion with a 1500% stock surge and WeWork is valued at $2.9 billion possibly not because of its assets, but its brand power.

That's on the main page, which loads a large third party library and a theme library. I do plan to get this down when I see about dropping the full libraries and just pulling in what's required for the page.

The individual content (QuikPub) view page is a lot less as it doesn't contain any of the JS library scripts.
This might sound rude, but you never thought to google "rapeseed oil" and immediately clear up what it is?
It is more old than non standard. At one point this was near universal common practice. It is 90s era visual formatting for HTML before anybody used CSS. Dang has been quite clear that he is unpracticed with CSS.

It wasn't CSS that killed this manner of formatting visual content, circa 2005-2010. It was lawyers as it isn't friendly to accessibility.

A few years back, Robinhood Markets Inc. had a crucial insight: Instead of charging a $5 commission and passing along 80% of the wholesaler’s discount to customers in the form of price improvement, it could charge no commission and pass along 20%, keeping the other 80% for itself.

Robinhood didn't come up with the idea for PFOF. Bernie Madoff did.

I like the straightforwardness of your business. Zero BS.
Presumably much less expensive since cloud storage providers are mostly instant access data stored on HDDs and network connected to the cloud.

Plus, I'm sure writing to tape is slow. But it has to be faster than most people's paltry upload speed (at least in the US).
That’s what I read. Where can I get me an F18 surplus?
It seems like an outrageously simple and fundamental thing, to the point wherein one might wonder how many other positive things could be achieved - and - why on earth some people have such a deficit.

Could it be diet, exercise, other things?

If this response turns out to be valid, in that fecal transplants materially affect these kinds of therapies ... it would seem to me that we need to spend a few $Billion researching this immediately, the potential outcomes for relatively non-invasiveness ... seems like massive ROI opportunity.

The company got bought out of bankruptcy for $1M. The founders walked away with literally less than nothing. The new owner felt he could continue the brand without them, which I think is probably pretty foolish, but I guess we'll see.
If the domain not be well understood when one is crafting the markup for a layout as simple as Hacker News's, one simply lacks even the most basic experience.

There is no need to use exploratory programming for such matters; it is a very common and well understood problem for which there are good and bad solutions.

A simple `margin-left: 20px;` in CSS is a good solution; transparent spacing images are ridiculous.

> railrodders are fun

What is a railrodder? This is the first time I’ve heard of its use outside the title of this film, and I’m pretty sure it’s referring to the Keaton character.
Yes on the first account. Kind of on the second. Each project had you finish in a way that would allow you to put it in a box and take it as an abstraction into the next one. That part worked well.

The part that was hard for me was that the book's language often muddled concept and implementation in the description of the project. This wasn't too much of a problem for myself as I went through this book several years after school. I had been working as a professional programmer for some time then and was used to disambiguating concepts and detail.

I know a lot of people work through this book as an undegrad but I must admit I doubt I would have enjoyed as much had I less experience. I can't speak to how much they've improved this aspect obviously and otherwise I found the book's language unusually clear for a textbook.
How can something so subjective as the quality and intent of writing be judged on whether it's "logically consistent" (which, even in a more appropriate context, is a uselessly low bar)? And "intelligent"? What does such a broad complement even refer to in this case?

The one I found is available to me here is Garden of Life - Primal Defense Ultra: https://www.gardenoflife.com/primal-defense-ultra-probiotic-...

It has Saccharomyces Boulardii, like many if not most Probiotics, which is already good and I tried that one in isolation before as well. Then it has various Lactobacillus strains that are common in most Probiotics in some combination or another. If you specifically have problems with histimine, like me, then the different strains actually matter, because some produce histamine, while some reduce it or have no effect on it. I had tried various other probiotics that basically had zero effect, while this one had an effect. I can't prove it, but the only real difference on the labels I found was that this one had Bacillus subtilis, while none of the others I tried had it.

There are actually some Lactobacillus, that made my condition _worse_. You may know Danone Actimel, which makes probiotic claims. I can attest that they are true. The do have active Lactobacillus casei. I know, because it caused me headaches, because Lactobacillus casei actually _produces_ histamines, which is the cause of my migraines.

Worst headache I've ever had in my life was with a Zinc pill. Back then I had no idea why I sometimes got headaches. The capsules were Zinc + Histidine. Histidine being converted by the body into Histamine ... Which btw. is (big part of) what makes your hangover headache.

The other good thing is that if I now have a "slipup", I just take a Benadryl and it's all gone :)

Are you hiring
I recently started working for the D foundation - the pay per hour is pretty reasonable considering I'm 20, but I nominally only do a few hours a week so I wouldn't be able to live off of it.

I basically got the job by bothering to write a nice email asking to do it as far as I can tell - I like to think I know what I'm doing (!) but realistically this is a sociopolitical thing not magic.

We have a few more people also working for the foundation who are paid more than me, you could live off that.

The D community is small but very efficient in places, there are a bunch of companies hiring D developers for quite a bit of money, just no where near as many as there are (say) C++ shops. For example, the company funding my position at the foundation manages about 6 Billion dollars raised to the power of D - we're lucky to have them.

We do need some fresh blood, but we can change that now we have people working on it.

Just curious what curriculum gave a low level CS education? Did you deliberately choose courses such as Compiler thoery and Operating System? In my school(I'm in first semester but join as a returner as I got a Stat master yrs ago) they are both optional and we can skip many low level courses.
