Friends don't exactly grow on trees.

My best friend died in his 20's. So, I have a cynical view on friendship.

It's very time intensive to find new friends and filter out the one's that don't make the cut. Not to mention the awkwardness that comes with breaking up with the one's that don't make the cut.
But for that it's enough to send it for same-origin requests. No need to send it cross-origin, except for tracking purposes.
> You also need brackets around "exists" since the original quote had "exist".

That's fair, I put too much trust in hedora's version.

> I think you're proving the point.

I may be demonstrating the article's point, that it looks awkward, but I still strongly disagree with hedora trying to make it look like the subjects get all wonky and confusing.
Wouldn't that (similarity matters) be very useful information to encode in the NN though? Kinda like how you can do non-convolutional deep-learning on images, but it takes exponentially more training data than convolutional deep-learning does.
Or even better for mobile browsing - i.reddit.com. Although the new functionalities are purposely not working there.
When getting rid of files remember that there will be legacy OSes and media forever.

In my example, that camera is storing pictures on a removable media, maybe FAT32 even in 2050. And there are good reasons for that: I saw mode than one person filling more than one 64 GB SD card with pictures on a 3 weeks journey.

And at the end of the example the machine that prints the calendar might want individual files and reset its state at the end of each print. It can even be a way to resist to attacks that upload malicious pictures.
It's a business association, like the Linux Foundation. It's very much for the corporate members, like the Linux Foundation.

There is. But "It's bad because it's bad etiquette", with no further elaboration or citation, is a pretty useless claim.

> ...but we always forget that maintenance in perpetuity is much much harder...

Citation please; and who is this "we"? Major infrastructure failures are rare and large expensive assets are generally well looked after. This Mullaperiyar dam situation sounds very concerning, but it has failed more slowly than the empire that built it. It wasn't built this century and it wasn't built last century either. It was built the century before that.

It is not obvious why this situation has arisen, but it is pretty much certain that the builders of the dam have no regrets and didn't forget anything. Nor did people around the dam for many generations.
Bezos would make his ppl do that until the problem is fixed.

Bro.
No, I think you're absolutely right, and the author of the Slate piece is a nitwit.

Of course it's better to find a quote that can stand alone, but if you can't do that — say, because there's a pronoun that refers to something too far away from the phrase of interest to include — then use brackets, ellipses, and so on.
Lynch mob is wrong, even if it hangs the right man on occasion.
Thanks, I've changed the title. But I'm confused by the page saying "1st edition (2019)" when there are HN threads going back at least to 2015: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10661376
Bitcoin and Pollution – The Definitive Answer
I haven't had formal qualifications for any of the few jobs I have been hired to do in the past 6–7 years, and my cover letters were almost always the reason I got an interview. I would like to think that my cover letters are not the standard, boring ones -- and I purposefully honest with a bit of humour.

In contrast, the accompanying resumes have been single-page, no-frills resumes -- I don't even bother saying anything about what I have done/achieved in previous roles because it seems pretty pointless when I don't have any certificates or practical experience to show.

I'm sure it's different from industry to industry, from company to company, and depends on the seniority of the role. It's just what worked for me to get interviewed at small-medium businesses and probably doesn't work for everyone.

As a final note, in some way I also treat the way I prepare my cover letters and resumes as an additional indicator for whether or not I really want to work at a company (particularly smaller ones with no HR departments): if they don't get back to me it's most likely that they are only looking for "the piece of paper" and/or they don't like my personality/the way I communicate.

Edit: typos.
It's a great feeling when you find out something new that you really like! I did not know this was a feature and it is pretty damn cool!
KSP has been 64-bit on Mac from around the same time as Windows and is still fully supported.

A lot of games did drop off the Mac when it moved to 64-bit only though.
Ask HN: Application level sharding and stateful services?
Does anyone employ scaling your apps via stateful services via application level sharding (i.e. using Akka)?

Here are some claims:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiVsKjZV-Ys

To me it seems it's much better to keep state in (sharded) DB rather than shard on your own in application level, but I'm happy to learn more.
Do you know of any literature/blogs on this?
I'm gonna guess what's behind that looks more like a handed-down, long-running family business/dynasty than anything else.

> I was asked multiple times for solutions to my self-pub ebooks that I relented.

You could always publish the solutions in a separate paid ebook. If people want to be able to check their own answers, or they want to use the exercises to set homework and make it easier to grade, they might be willing to pay you for them.
It is potentially worse because the experience gives a person the illusion or organic information spreading and popular opinion. This is very detrimental IMO. Sure, while your average grandma (to use a tired stereotype) has a hard time telling the difference between promoted content and organic content on Facebook, on Reddit most people believe that everyone they're interacting with is a unique human voice. I saw a study a few weeks ago that came to the conclusion that 50% of the accounts on big front page subs are bots, I don't have a link anymore unfortunately. Even if you know it is happening it is hard to remind that part of your brain that who you're talking to has a good chance of not being a unique individual with an opinion. Their UX is designed this way deliberately.
Depends what you mean by small. I think subs with even a few hundred thousand subscribers are generally pretty good, depending on the community of course.

I would disagree on some of those. The quality of discussion is higher provided you don't mind the lack of humour. And the diversity of thoughts and opinions isn't that high because of the strict moderation. If you want true diversity of opinion, but far lower quality of discussion, 4chan is the place.
A lot of modern supercomputer use/have GPUs. But most GPUs had very bad fp64 compute capabilities, so they were not really used for anything requiring precision for a long time.
They're both right. The Slate article is just picking on an uncommon, mistaken use of the pattern. I agree that it's pointless whining — I don't know that I've ever seen this mistake made.

I don’t know if this is even an option for you but you might want to take a look at Angular especially if you already have an OO language background on the backend.

Basically everything is standardised, you are mostly just writing classes the way you would for a desktop application, the majority of what makes the web frustrating to work with is abstracted away in a series of sensible patterns and overall the tooling is really great.
Does that matter really? For GDPR it's he users' location, no?
Interesting article, thanks, and especially at the end of the article:

> (Some cloudflare people) have proposed a solution to the Tor Project that moves part of the process of distinguishing between automated and human traffic to the Tor browser itself. The Tor browser could allow users to do a sort of proof-of-work problem and then send a cryptographically secure but anonymous token to services like CloudFlare in order to verify that the request is not coming from an automated system.

> By moving the proof-of-work test to the client side, the Tor browser could send confirmation to every site visited so that users wouldn’t be asked to prove they are human repeatedly

The onion site Https cert idea is also interesting
I'm really masculine. I'm tall, reasonably heavily muscled, assertive, hyper competitive, dominant, etc. I've still had some friends tell me that they wouldn't have been surprised if I was gay/bi. The only explanation I have is that they struggle to understand my refusal to conform to norms and I'm interpreted as "different".
Oh my! This is a blast from the past. I was a kid, probably 10 years old or something, and I had a LEGO MovieMaker webcam. I was trying to set it up as a sort of security/monitoring camera for the back door of the small business my parents ran. I remember using this software and supposedly getting it working.

I invited my parents to come see what I had done, and somehow typed the website wrong and ended up on a spanish-language porn site. I could not hit the back button fast enough. Possibly one of the most embarrassing memories of my childhood.

I have no idea what my parents thought I was up to.
Another deterioration I've noticed in knowledge is around the amount of understanding of a filesystem. There's a growing generation that don't properly understand files, folders and directory structures, as they learned their computing skills on an iPhone or iPad (my guess).

I've seen this generation start to reach college and lack familiarity with the basics of file management and general basic productivity on a computer.

The decline in general inquisitiveness is also a challenge - computing devices are now sealed and gasketed, single purpose, and most people have never looked inside one, let alone wanted to understand how they work. There's a part of growing up with technology where you should (in my view) start to wonder things like how if computers run programs, who made the first program? And how did they write it? And what tools did they use to write it if they had no other programs?

It's very challenging to enthuse someone who hasn't thought about this into wanting to learn to program and think like a power user - the locked down computers they've known as they grew up were content consumption platforms, not creation. Apps are made by "other people" in some unknown process - the thought they could do it generally doesn't cross their mind.

Now the 2077 source is public, can we crowdsource the bug fixes?
The author's point here is different than that, though. The original writer had no need to substitute the pronoun in the short quote. It was replaced with just another pronoun, so no extra information was inserted. It would have been just as clear if left in its original phrasing.

From TFA:

> Sometimes you have to use brackets anyway. Maybe the speaker or writer was using an acronym or a completely unfamiliar piece of jargon that the reader needs explained. Maybe they were referring to a person by their last name or nickname, when the reader has not yet been introduced to the person’s full name. But these changes should be both necessary and obvious.
Another reason I'm using uBlock origin in advanced mode is that the extension works on Firefox Android also.

Have you guys considered a open-core business approach? Would dramatically increase trust, and my willingness to throw money at you :)
Well your hardware is from a time when AMD was still primarily pursuing the binary fglrx driver - if your card had an open source driver back then it would still work. What got dropped is the proprietary driver, not functionality from the open source driver. And with r600g being open source, people (mainly Red Hat's Dave Airlie) have been adding to it - in particular, there is OpenGL 4 support for some cards now, just not for all yet.

Just because you are unhappy that your card was too old to be included in the current open source driver does not mean you have to spread FUD about it.
But a quote intermingled with [paraphrase] just becomes a more awkward way to paraphrase? Because surely it isn't a verbatim quote any more.

That is hardly correct. A genetic disposition to mate with the opposite sex would be a very strong force for reproduction.

In other words: Genes that make you have sex with the opposite sex would be a huge advantage and so would be selected for.

Even insect knows what to do instinctively.

I would need VERY strong evidence to accept that it is not gentically encoded.
Here in Russia, if you leave poisonous chemicals like methanol, etc, unmarked or put a bear trap in your locked house behind a locked fence with a generic warning sign, and then someone dies or gets injured by these, chances are you will go to jail. Idk if this applies to accidental traps like pools or rakes in grass. Same for taking a knife out of an attackers hand and stabbing them back.

We can do our part in my opinion, by educating, showing advantages of knowing how to use tech. I've written a tech setup guide for example for my family, taught my mum what CLI is, basic stuff on it. I think while this is an issue it can partly be solved without much effort, if we simply show others benefits of knowing tech

In what concerns Microsoft, I am yet to see anything besides Win32 and WinRT bindings generation.

UWP/WinUI foundations are in C++ and .NET.

Azure Sphere, despite all the security selling marketing uses C based SDK.

Windows kernel seemed to be in the right direction adopting more C++ and less C, specially with the userspace drivers COM SDK, but they just reverted to more C support on the latest versions.

So in what concerns Microsoft, I look forward to their Rust's adoption, although currently its adoption is yet to be reflected on the Windows development ecosystem.

First off-- Orca is incredible. It was just the piece of software I needed to get unstuck from a music-making rut and actually release a couple of new tracks. It's constrained, of course, yet has enough depth for serendipity, which is probably the most important thing to me for making music.

Reading about Rekka and Devine makes me feel like they come from a different planet. I can't imagine a more different lifestyle that's also somehow so close to home. I made a small pull request to Orca, and it felt so strange somehow to bridge that gap. (Devine seems awfully nice, by the way, based on that incredibly limited interaction.)

I could never live the way they do--I enjoy simple comforts, I guess, and I like having a house to hold guitar amps and drums. But I hope they can continue to enjoy their own lifestyle for many years to come. The world is richer with people like them in it.

Personally I find VueJS a joy to work with on the FE. It eschews some of the complexities that come with React and gives you a comprehensive and simple state based component rendering framework.

Vue's cli tool means that you don't have to worry about installing all the dependencies, just answer the setup questions about how you like to work and it installs everything for you: Typescipt, sass, babel, eslint.. all of it installed for you.

I absolutely do not yearn for the SSR template days. Sure when you're composing green field it's straight forward, but when you're coming into a complex project 3 years later, figuring out where on earth the JS is that's impacting this particular screen (or causing this particular bug) can be an absolutely nightmare. I'll be sticking with Vue and Typescript and not reverting to jQuery, thank you very much.

The timing will be off. It needs to emulate a 4.79 MHz 8088.
That second part completely ruins the pithiness of the saying. It’s much better as just “I hate people who generalise.” Or, if you really feel the need to be explicit about the humour, “I hate people who generalise. All of them.”
Added to the problem is the general lack of funding around the world for infrastructure, owing to the fact that politicians control the purse strings and infrastructure isn't "sexy" [1][2]. Building something new that can be named after someone is no doubt easier to fund than the maintenance of something that already exists.

"we always forget that maintenance in perpetuity is much much harder"

I imagine that part of the problem is that the heavy maintenance for large engineering projects begins years or decades after completion. Upon completion, it's hard to imagine these huge creations falling apart; add to this an element of "this won't be my problem (I won't be here in 50 years)" and you've got a recipe for short-term thinking - especially by those who don't have the expertise (read: the politicians and bureaucrats).

CLOS is about generics, so is about the type system, and is in practice pretty much orthogonal to purity. CLOS was originally implemented using macros, which are semantically pure.

CLisp supports but, unlike Scheme, does not really encourage programming based on functional purity. Only the CLisp implementations that support full tail recursion are OK choices for pure functional programming.

Now this is… post-hoc, Lisp-2 is the original form of LISP and predates the concepts of macros.

I would agree. However in reality we have a system that is half-assed vs a system that nobody likes to use.
