In the US. Not in Europe. The iPhone is barely testimonial there, while in the US, the iPHone has a good market chunk, and thus, more developers.

The old Unix hats mainly use Acme and MacOS as a dumb client against a 9front cpu(4) with Drawterm or with Plan9port.

The could use whatever it has a GUI to run drawterm on, as they did with Windows 2000 back in the day.

Also, OSX still has HFS as case insensitive by default.
On modern Unix environments, OSX is useless. Period.
Why not pseudoanonymous / anonymous identities that work together on a decentralized platform like Urbit? The corporation is obsolete. DAOs will be the future.
You're very welcome. It's a fantastic tool and well deserving of some coverage. Glad others here on HN saw fit to give it some upvotes!
A fine ! How proper the nobles are ransomed back while the peasants are executed
I mean no offence by this, but nobody wants to be a janitor or a garbageman (woman?) when they grow up. I hate washing dishes. It's just something that needs to be done and you are adding value to the world by ensuring that faceless corporations adhere to the rules they are bound by.

Not every job is fulfilling but a lot of them have to be done.
Elastic IPs are region-specific (or perhaps even zone-specific - I can’t recall offhand), so those won’t work. One could possibly wire up something with their Global Accelerator product, though.
Can someone who's been involved in one of these seemingly-stupid corporate typeface rollouts speak to any actual benefits? Thinking savings on licensing fees to a type foundry or optimizing glyphs to save on data transfers?
Pointing to git refs should be sufficient for code that's not super volatile.

I personally envision using it for onboarding new developers to a code base, in which case I think being on an older ref should be fine, since I'm just trying to show the general structure of a project.

I could also see using it in a code review context, in which case pointing it at the branch would also be fine.

Also, if you look at the schema it generates for a tour, it would be pretty easy to go through and update the line numbers directly in the JSON.

> it turns out those are more explosive-barrel sprites, just squished down real thin. It turns out the Build engine was designed so that if you make sprites super thin, they just don't render.

A small correction. If I remember correctly, this was a special property of that specific sprite - possibly hard coded in the engine, not sure.

But only those specific gas bottles were rendered invisible if you reduced their width. Most likely specifically to make it possible to do effects like the exploding fan.

Other sprites could be thin and render just fine - you can see that with palm stalks, traffic sign poles and things like that. Those are often just very elongated sprites.

* 200,000 farmers in the Vendee

* tens of thousands of priests and nuns

* ordinary people, children, and eventually themselves.

The stench of the bodies was so great they moved the guillotines outside the city. One day after beheading a convent of nuns that refused to stop praying, next up was a young boy caught stealing. As he was led up to the guillotine, a shout could be heard from the crowd "Please, no more children!"

But hey, at least they replaced their King with an Emperor.
I know a couple of devs with dyslexia, their variable naming/spelling is pretty atrocious but they are stellar engineers.

Was it ever robust? Or just that there weren't yet so many exploits?
Not at all trolling :). Your setup sounds like it would be unusual in my spheres, where most people have probably close to a dozen different accounts (credit cards, retirement accounts, investments, mortgages, etc.) Online banking is very convenient for managing all this info.
I remember the Descent map where there was a very large room you could fly out of and into a corridor. The corridor looped around and went through the center of the big room, but the room in question didn't have a big column through the middle of it. So you were sort of in the room but also not when flying through the corridor. I seem to recall that while other players couldn't see or collide with you, they could shoot you if they somehow figured out where you were.
I see so much MIRO and my experience is it works in the moment, but then it can be difficult to organize after the fact or really hard to focus on what's important if you were not a part of the ideation that happened.

However nobody can deny that his hair is amazing
As a casual user (install something once every 6 months), I can't even keep brew's insane terminology straight. If I was a REGULAR casual user, I'm sure it would be fine.
With CodeTour, you can have "content only steps" (introductories, interstitials), steps that speak to directories, and also, add steps to files that don't necessarily support comments (e.g. JSON). So there seemed to be some value in having the tour be more flexible, than what what might be achievable code comments alone.

Additionally, after speaking with a bunch of folks, there are definitely teams that weren't interested in "polutting" their code with comments that might be tailored to onboarding new team members, and therefore, didn't need to be always visible.

That said, I totally agree with the value of a literate programming-based solution. But there may also be some nice properties to a "side car" file as well, and so I'm primarily trying to explore how well we could make that work, in a resilient and easy-to-maintain way. We'll see how it goes!
I am sometimes joking with friends by suggesting: Let's meet at 12 o'clock ± 5%.

Consent should not be an obstacle course.
A person may want to end their life for a variety of reasons, and not just because they are terminal or in excruciating pain. If a person is determined to "leave this world", for whatever reason, they are many ways to do it that no one can prevent: a gun shot, slashing their arms in the tub, gobbling medicine (not always reliable), etc.

IMO, a person who wants to leave should be allowed to have controlled death without a mess or violence. I agree that counseling should be required, like maybe 2 sessions, but don't agree that anyone should have the power to deny assistance to die. It's my choice to leave or stay; all we are debating is whether I have to do something messy or can have a goodbye meeting with my family and have a peaceful death.

My mom had pneumonia when she was 74. She had been very sick with rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years - bedridden in some of them, on crazy amounts of drugs for all of them, and for the last few years of her life, could only barely walk bent over a walker because of a failed hip replacement. Her body was shot, so when she went to the hospital for the pneumonia, she refused to let them treat her. If she took the oxygen mask off, she turned blue. The doctor wanted to send her home with an oxygen tank to lug around, but she could hardly walk as it was, so that was completely impractical. I guess she convinced the doctors she did want to leave, because they had a conference with us, said she was going to die, and allowed us to hasten it with morphine and Adavan. The shitty thing is, we (mainly me) had to go to the nurses station every 45 minutes to tell them she was "not comfortable" and get a morphine injection, and every hour do the same thing for Adavan. This went on for 9 hours, and it was only that short because they had her on 2 oxygen deliveries and I had to convince them that we couldn't keep doing this for 3-4 days. No one had eaten all day, my sisters are in the room crying their eyes out, and my mom had been unconscious for many hours. We knew what the end game was, but getting there was much more difficult that it needed to be. They could have easily put her on a drip for those 2 drugs to avoid adding to our suffering by forcing us to request drugs on some crazy schedule we had to track while our mother is dying. I am grateful they at least did it, but it was unnecessarily hard on us.

There are also cases where a person should be able to write a document, like a living will, that says "Under these circumstances, I want to be euthanized: haven't been able to communicate for N days" etc. There may be cirumstances, like an accident, where a person is not able to go to counseling or is not able to confirm their wishes verbally. That doesn't mean they've changed their mind. If a document is written when the person is sane (maybe someone needs to notarized that), there is no reason to not honor their wishes at the appropriate time.

We treat animals better than we treat people when it comes to end-of-life decisions, and that's a damn shame.
I used MacPorts ages ago, and honestly thought it went away, which is why I switched to Brew, which I've never gotten comfortable with.
Doesn't that sort of depend on the channel? eg Radio 1 has always been Obnoxiously! Trendy! Pop! Music!, Radio 2 a lightweight blend of news, musical standards, and entertainment, Radio 3 classical or music and Very Serious Discourse, and Radio 4 intellectual topics, politics, and and quality news, little or no music. I know there are a few other radio channels but I can't remember what their focus is. And of course all of these channels have variations of their own depending what time of the day/week people are listening.
PDFs is such a pita to handle. Firefox still only handles basic PDFs, anything beyond that, like fillable forms, is going to require a 3rd party solution. Just give me a full featured editor already so I don't need to use some sus site.
This is very poor from Shopify's perspective if that's the case: API can change as often as they want,but each new version comes as a new thing with its own documentation and so on,while the old ones stay there for a long time with whatever functionality was supported. I did receive some emails from Salesforce, saying they will be retiring version 7 of their API soon. Guess what, their current version is 51.
Twitter doesn't thread properly. It does weird things based on likes.
Yes, because there is an arbitrary choice of origin which renders the relative error dependant on units. If you're measuring a length, for instance, or an interval of time, the relative error is independent of which units you choose. If you're measuring e.g. a distance to some point, then again you have an arbitrary choice of origin.
Also, any modern DE could scale fonts up to 14pt and far more.

And OFC choose whatever theme, icon and font you like in order to match your resolutions.

Windows 10 is useless without scaling.
They have some education programs, they just are always not focused on skills that are valuable outside. There’s also issues, believe it or not, about people not knowing these programs are avail. What we are doing is trying to create Edu programs for in demand skills and bring in a dif local business to teach each course. This way it breaks down the stigma for these businesses about hiring justice involved individuals, trains these individuals at a skill, and helps them get hired by these businesses after. And this is not training to work in fast food chains.

There’s also work release where certain members can go off location to work when they’re getting close to release. In addition there stuff like unicore
https://www.bop.gov/inmates/custody_and_care/unicor.jsp
Unicore pays pennies on the dollar though. But this money helps people upon release have enough maybe to get an apartment for their first month out - which most cant afford.

Some cool organizations trying to help, just as examples off the top of my head in case you are interested in looking further about solutions include:

-KOBEYO

-Justice reskill

But main point is really these individuals that have served their time are not adequately given the resources they need to succeed. Tons of opportunities to contribute though - as with any u underserved demographic.

Isn't the checkmark just a verification? Pretty sure that's there so users can differentiate between real and spoof accounts. That way users know that @realDonaldTrump is really him, instead of the (probably) co-opted account @DonaldTrump.

It's a pretty far cry from having any sort of additional power.

Furthermore, acknowledging status where it exists is not the same as creating a distinct group of people with special status. What about "Dr." for people with doctorate degrees? Doctors don't have any more rights than anyone else, and having the title exist certainly doesn't create some part of society that is inaccessible to others.

Holding political leaders to a different standard on social media doesn't mean they are royalty, it's just an acknowledgement that they do hold power, elected, inherited, or otherwise. Furthermore, if Twitter's history is a sign of what any new policy would look like, world leaders would be held to a more restrictive standard than others, on Twitter.

>> The financial system did that already, hundreds of years ago. And it turned out that the most efficient way to iron out these bugs was through trust and regulation.

>> To an outsider, the entire crypocurrency world just looks like a giant exhorbitantly expensive not-invented-here syndrome recapitulating the entire early history of finance.

> Did they, though? If I were to describe the finance industry, "trustworthy" and "well-regulated" would probably not be the first words I'd reach for. (EDIT: To be fair, I'm a pretty typical layman, and I might just be throwing stones at a strawman. Maybe EVIL GREEDY BANKERS are a rarity in an otherwise idyllic system, but that's not what's in the zeitgeist)

The GP isn't claiming that the finance industry is "trustworthy" and "well-regulated" in an absolute sense, just that the cryptocurrency world is repeating a lot of old mistakes for no good reason (making it relatively less trustworthy and well-regulated in comparison).
I've been up all night and I feel awful and I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I'm just thinking of some novel I read where some nouveau riche fool paid someone for their riding boots because his were too new looking and he wanted to look like he had been riding a long time. He wanted worn-looking boots. He didn't want to look like it was his first time.

And the guy took his money with a straight face and sold him the boots even though the color of the boots signaled he was a trainer or something, which is something the nouveau riche guy had no way of knowing. But it would have been immediately laughable to most people who were in the know.

I am not going to go through the account and try to make up BS, but the bike may be custom built, the gear he's wearing may be amazingly good, the locations he is posting from may be something incredibly special in some way and not commenting on those details may be part of the appeal.

I'm a writer by trade and I get paid by the word and also have to meet other constraints and you can sometimes say very little with three paragraphs or you can say a metric fuck ton with a few well-chosen words.

I absolutely don't know enough about the topic. I just know that when things get popular, it is often due to some value-added detail that no one explicitly talks about. The fact that it gets slipped in and not commented on is part of what makes some things wildly popular.

A density of quality info and yadda is often some element of that and that is often not obvious to outsiders who cannot readily tell that this photo is some superficial tripe and that seemingly similar one is worlds apart in quality, data, informativeness, whatever.

Anyway: This is my insomnia talking. It is absolutely not intended to be ugly or pick a fight or yadda.

You have a great day/night/whatever.
Right, but those methods which are implemented are not in the set of methods intended for descendant classes to override. If they are in that set, at all, then the base class is by definition not abstract.

The fundamental issue is that Python doesn't really have a way to enforce this, so there's ultimately no such thing as an abstract class in Python - there are only classes that act like they're abstract (by replacing all implementations of meant-to-be-overridden methods with no-ops or thrown exceptions).
Excluding someone from a domestic violence shelter isn't just a way of thinking about something. Imprisoning people more likely to be raped with people more likely to rape them isn't just a way of thinking about something.

Cis and trans are opposites by definition. They existed long before they were applied to gender.
It would be, but that made me fall into the HN rabbit hole. One hour later, I know more about the hacks used in Duke Nukem 3D but my tasks are still uncompleted.
The security concerns are overblown because this assumes everyone will start using chroot for everything, which isn't the case. There are plenty of use cases where you intentionally sacrifice security for usability.

What's the danger here, that a program will create a chroot and that an attacker will then break out of it? So we're back to where we are now, which is not using chroots.
It's from a November 2019 report by Indeed of 0.1% of job postings mentioning Rust (https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/19/todays-top-tech-skills/), with growth of 44% compared to 2018 (https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/26/fastest-rising-tech-ski...).

But you can even have a rough estimate according to your own measure. There are roughly between 50K and 100K developers working at FAANG (maybe replace Netflix with Microsoft). How many of them would you guess are using Rust?
I've been using Typinator and singing its praises to people for years. I have some abbreviations I only use once in a blue moon, but there are a couple I've gotten miles and miles of use out of.

I started by picking a 'shortcut tag'--a single character that prefixes all my shortcuts that aren't typo replacements. This prevents issues like having a shortcut trigger in the middle of writing a command or a piece of code. These days I use ';' and then follow the trigger with a space (e.g. ';dt ' is the full shortcut), as that doesn't come up in normal writing. (Annoyingly, the default substitutions in Mac OS/iOS don't respect these--if you create a trigger named ';dt ', it's going to try and trigger every time you write 'dt', with or without the semicolon and space. Probably because it's tied to the Autocorrect engine, which is very aggressive.)

Couple I've found particularly handy:

;dt -> Prints the date as 2021-Mar-19 (very useful for quick-naming backup files!)

;DT -> Prints the date as 19 March, 2021 for more formal writing

;chr -> Prints "Cheers, <name>" as a quick way to sign an email

;fullstack -> Prints the subCA and root CA certificates in PEM format for the CA we usually use

;rarr -> Prints the "→" character, which is handy for nice lists. :)

I also take advantage of Typinator's variable system. So I can enter ';ldif ' and it will prompt me for a user's name and UID values, then construct an LDIF file for use in adding them to LDAP. I have a couple boilerplate email responses in there as well that will just blow out the standard response with spots to fill in the user's name, for those "did you turn it off and on again" emails you write 50-odd times a day.
So the goal is to generate money? Why not try for the big stock trading/investing firms then, those people tend to make more than the tech people.

I had this CPU. 386dx 40Mhz. What a beast. It was my first PC that I purchased myself. It was also my first online purchase. I bought it off of FidoNet through a BBS. I'm still amazed that worked. Cash-on-delivery (COD). $50. Probably took an entire month getting to me via UPS.

Reporting that critical care facilities "were this week 93% full.". This in itself doesn't sound too bad. Most countries scale (expensive) ICU units to be max out in the busiest time of year. The article also mentions 20 ambulances waiting outside a hospital. This also isn't too uncommon, for example happened a few times in London during the last ten years [1].

Problem is things sound much more alarming if you weren't aware of these things and media reports them all the time.

Experiment Monitoring with Data Versioning: ClearML and Pachyderm
> The majority of “influencers” are young women,

Just to add on that.

"Though women make up 77% of the influencer market, male influencers are paid almost 100% more. " [1]

And 88% of female influencers are less than 34 years old. [2]

So 67 % of influencers are young women (if 34 years old is considered young)

Also women get 10 times more like than men [3]

Interesting, I didn't know about this at all. Is it that common in Scheme to write functions that immediately return other functions? Seems like an oddly "blessed" usage of syntax that IMO could be better used for something like pattern matching.

Looking at this example from the linked SRFI [0]:

(define ((greet-with-prefix prefix) suffix)
(string-append prefix " " suffix))

(define greet (greet-with-prefix "Hello"))

(greet "there!") => "Hello there!"

I'm not convinced that this is anything but an obfuscation, compared to the standard R5RS version:

(define (greet-with-prefix suffix)
(lambda (prefix)
(string-append prefix " " suffix)))

(define greet (greet-with-prefix "Hello"))

(greet "there!") => "Hello there!"

What do the experienced Schemers think?
