You get paid for the pain dude. That’s what the money is for (Draper’s speech in Mad Men: https://youtu.be/w2MV-x924KA).

I can promise you any company you go to has a shitty code base. Good luck, and have a happy career.
well there are still many large software written in C, e.g. nginx, lighttpd, even linux kernel.

I checked BCHS a few years back, the key piece is that it's Openbsd, if it's Linux it might have caught on, due to linux's popularity, good or bad. This could be useful for embedded device for example, but not so many embedded devices running OpenBSD, if any at all.
I want to know who keeps changing their wikipedia page to past tense
Indian is definitely not used in Canada nor is Native American as it turned into a very derogatory term. The preferred term is First Nations and Inuit.
But a lack of crime is exclusive to wealthy neighborhoods.
Planet is an arcane term with minimal utility for communicating what you are actually talking about. Whether something is a planet is dependent on not just its own properties, but also the object's location and environment. Something that would be a planet in one location is not elsewhere. The definition of planet is also only applicable to our solar system. Even if you were in orbit around an object, you would not be able to know whether it was a planet or not. It's okay if you are trying to distinguish 8 specific objects from the rest of the universe, but that's about it.

Planemo is a word describing what comes to people's minds when they think planet. A contraction of Planetary Mass Object, it is something large enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium (round because of its own gravity) but small enough not to fuse elements. You can tell if something is a planemo just by looking at it.

Earth: Planet? Yes. Planemo? Yes.

Pluto: Planet? No. Planemo? Yes.

Earth's Moon: Planet? No. Planemo? Yes.

Earth's Moon if it didn't orbit the Earth: Planet? Maybe. Planemo? Yes.

Mars' Moon Deimos: Planet? No. Planemo? No.

Mars if it had the same orbit as Pluto: Planet? No. Planemo? Yes.

Pluto if it had the same orbit as mars: Planet? Yes. Planemo? Yes.

Hypothetical star in orbit around sun: Planet? Yes. Planemo? No.

Tatooine: Planet? No clue. Planemo? Yes.
As a dev who works on a Mac with Safari, I say none: my co’s app, which is quite complex, “just works” on Safari (what I use), Chrome (what the rest of the team uses), and Edge (what our bigger customers use).

Is this because of React? Babel? Webpack? Maybe. All I know is that we happily code away on this complex beast, and everything. Just. Works. Everywhere.
I opened a Venmo account a year ago and never did anything with it.

I recently rented a house and the landlord wants me to pay with Venmo. I logged into Venmo and tried to add my bank account — error. Then manually. Then debit card, all errors. I knew it wasn’t really an error, plaid showed my bank balance before erroring out.

I had to call their customer service 4x before I found someone who could see that it was a kyc block and put me through the process of verifying myself. Upload documents. Wait for them to review. Then put my account into partial freeze so I could add my bank and then verify transactions. Then talk to CS person and wait for them to manually unfreeze my account.

It took a week. Just so I can pay rent.
So true. This line was great, “And when you use Google Search or Google Play, we might have to give equal prominence to a raft of spammy and low-quality services.” I’ve had to help family members put locks on their credit report because of top-ranked, fake websites that offer global entry, DMV license and registration renewals, etc. Digging deeper, you can find troves of consumer complaints about these websites being scammy. If they can’t even prevent spam websites for critical government services from being recommended, I’m not sure how much worse it could get before people start dropping them faster than Ask Jeeves.
Sounds awesome. This could be the key to more productivity in college and at work by eliminating distractions from the outside.
To the contrary if people are repeatedly violating the law in the willful and obvious way that is exactly what bail should be used for. The bottom line is that they are seeing a lot of repeat offenders something is going to have to give.

what makes you think they aren't already doing just that?
The challenge is that chief executives, boards and audit committees set a tolerance to risk, like they do with all other risks. And those responsible will not accept a high level of residual risk, so we put controls in. The challenge is knowing what the best controls are.

Chances are if its already happened and you haven't detected that it has, then you've really not taken cybersecurity seriously.
A cursory look at San Francisco and Oakland should be adequate proof.
You're not making the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict better. You're making the word "apartheid" meaningless.
At the time it meant working with Sun not Oracle. Further, it didn’t need licensing - DTrace, under the same CDDL license - ships with macOS to this day.
I am not white or a city Native American and I use Indian for people from the country of India, because it results in less confusion.
How is it smelted from ore in the first place? Quick look suggests that it starts out as an oxide, and is a byproduct of aluminum production.
It does taste nice and goes well with many foods.

When Lithuania banned sales on Sunday after 3PM the sales of it skyrocketed. IIRC NZ grown 100% lately too. Many people choose it when they drive.

I like my 9% IPA's but when I have to drive or there's bbq party middle of the day I'll go for low alcohol ones.
Pretty sure they were referring to the amount of resources Valve puts in to keeping the PC platform open, including the vast amounts of ooen source software they create and the ones they contribute to, primarily for Linux. Hiring devs to work on FOSS, contracting out to FOSS companies like Collabora and Sourcehut, these are great things to do. Valve does plenty bad, like any big company, but one thing they don't do is use their marketshare monopoly with Steam to create an actual monopoly, lockin, etc. Even their hardware isn't locked down.
If its "Gibberish" I'd suggest it's safer to assume it as a Get request regardless.

Something I don't see many people talk about, but I've setup web instances with both read and write clusters similar to db's, and have the nicety to getting more umph from the read cluster by making sure it only hits read db nodes and disabling any framework stuff for tracking changes on a model.

Yes, many wealthy communities have lower crime. Criminals have easy access to many of these areas but don't go there to steal because the chances of consequences are higher. In contrast, there are communities where the thieves can steal with essentially no risk.
The C library used (https://github.com/kristapsdz/kcgi) is portable and working on linux as well. Putting this behind nginx as fastcgi seems very well doable.
AFAIK there aren't any fission bombs any more. At least not in the US arsenal. Everything is thermonuclear now. More efficient.
Those constraints don't seem that strong to me. The algorithm could've just been retrained with different stack sizes if it ended up making a big enough difference.
You understand those things they are buying have value right? That they are not just throwing money into the void. Investing in future growth is what businesses does in a competitive environment. If they don't keep buying stuff their service will fail and they will lose everything they had invested to that point. Thats how you don't make money.
Ballmer gets a bad rap but he was the one that got them moving towards Azure and cloud. He made MS a lot of money, they didn’t suffer under him. It was mostly just optics where he didn’t look good.
How to Read Dig Output
I looked into it too ;)

- Large Monitors are unavailable or (if you use business monitors) a lot more expensive and usually don't have latest panel tech.

Agree, monitors in regular TV sizes are way more expensive than the largest 'cheap' monitors. But I'd rather make a decision between paying $300 CAD for a 32" monitor that is 'large enough' but not huge or a ~43" monitor that is way larger, has 4k etc. and costs ~$1200 CAD etc. or a $500 50" 4k "generic Smart TV" in "dumb mode" than to use it as an actual Smart TV.

- You'll loose surround sound and also 4K on most platforms

There you go, no expensive 4k monitor needed if you can't get it anyway. Surround sound I'll give you but see your sibling if you are so inclined to go the potentially unlawful but ethically probably totally OK route.

- The integration is usually worse (you'll have to start more devices, if you're lucky CEC decides to work)

To be fair it's been a while that I've had cable and had to deal with that and that was in low-def times (so I had a cable card in the mythtv server). I don't fancy setups w/ IR switching cable channels and such but to be honest, I think it's worth it to at least try if you have to keep actual cable for some reason. Nowadays other viable options than having cable do exist if you ask me.

- Good luck with HDR

I probably just don't know what I am missing and as long as it stays that way it's like staying on 720p and a monitor most people would think is way too small but actually totally adequate than to complain that my huge 4k one looks bad with that source material ;)

offline smart TV are good contenders, too

Totally agree, if you're looking for a cheap huge "monitor" that can definitely be a good option as long as you stay away from the actual "features" and are fine with the other limitations.

Personally I'm on a 32" regular HD IPS panel monitor. Given the size of the living room and how far away the sofa is, this is totally adequate (I upgraded from my >>>10 year old 4:3 "I don't even remember the size of it" monitor when it finally broke!). Surround sound depends on the source. If it's Netflix the upmix is "good enough" for most of what the kids wanna watch and then there's other material too where proper AC3 is available. Most of the times I can't really have the bass turned up anyway so as not to wake the kids :P
This is absolutely correct. Early medical research was dominated by the assumption that males and females will react similarly to drugs, which is just not the case. Our labs has focused on recruiting females with autism in part because concerns of equity, but also because it might give us insight of the causal mechanisms underlying autism.
What's funny is the principals of what modern progresive intellectuals find right or wrong were introduced by Abrahamic (specifically Christian) teachings. Before that, the whole framework of the poor or meek being something everyone should protect wasn't a common idea. Even devout Atheists are basically Christian philosophers with scientific faith replacing theistic faith.
>I think there's a bit of distance between that motte and the initial ("standard") bailey.

Isn't that the point of a motte and bailey? The motte is what you think you can defend to an outgroup member without prior convictions, or even an actively skeptical outgroup member. The bailey is what you and your ingroup believe and act upon when nobody's asking you to justify yourselves. They're very different.
Placebo Effect Accounts for More Than 2/3s of Covid-19 Vaccine Adverse Events
Most research shows that anonymous accounts actually facilitate more conciliatory and nuanced discussions.

The big issue in social media is that the moderates are attacked by both sides. They are often attacked more viciously by those of their own political persuasion that are even more to the left/right than they are. This especially occurs if they are agreeing at all on any point with “the other”. Obviously this has a substantial chilling and muzzling effect.

Anonymous accounts have less face to lose in the real world if they take a more moderate stance. However, over time even anonymous accounts build social credit with the in-group of whatever ideology they support.

This has many negative effects. One is that politicians get the most visible engagement on their posts from the most extreme followers and so the politicians themselves moved to more extreme positions because they think they don’t have any moderate support. Twitter is not real life.
Thank you You helped my project grow to 1k stars
Hello HN community!

I must say that over the years I've been very thankful for all of the insights, discussion, and intellectual vigor you all show on this platform. There have been so many things I've learned from you all and I wouldn't be the same without you. You are all invaluable and even the smallest of comments is well appreciated and most always provides a way of looking at things that was not considered before.

3 years ago I had an idea that I wanted to start a business to sell a budgeting app. What I thought would be a capitalistic venture turned out to be a side project that I've had and grown into (what I feel) is quite substantial and has a niche now in the community. I have not posted, nor shared its progress in quite some time, but the template is fully featured now and many are making use of it to build apps themselves.

The template itself is an Electron template, secure-electron-template, and in this blog post I write about it's origins, it's feature set, and how it was able to grow to 1,000 Github stars. All of this is thanks to the HN community, thank you for spreading the word about this project and letting me give back through my work of building this template.

I keep hoping for something like OpenWRT for smart TVs. I have a Roku TV that I'd love to de-Roku even just so it would switch between inputs more quickly.
Yea, I've used that before but just switching between vertical and horizontal tiling doesn't get you anywhere close to dynamic tiling and on demand layouts.
When I was young I knew people who stole (juvenile delinquents and some not so juvenile). Sometimes it was food sometimes it was other things. It was very rarely because they needed to. They were idle and did it because they could and would not get punished (back then cameras were not as prevalent.) Point is, more people steal because it's "easy" more than because they "have no alternative".

People sometimes think just because they would only steal as a last resort just before death that other people treat theft with the same moral compass. No, they don't. Some people are plain opportunists.
I experienced this as a pedestrian in downtown Chicago (on iOS in my case). It made me curious about what was going on — were the buildings reflecting the signal or obscuring it somehow? It's a fascinating phenomenon.

Import Yeti: Visualize US Company's International Supply Chains
This isn't true. There are many poor communities where enforcement is effective and theft and crime are low too. It is all about the expectation of consequences and community standards.
What humanity needs to know is the maximum number of humans that is indefinitely sustainable. At the US level of energy usage, that level is probably under one billion. At a European level of energy usage, we'd probably sustain about a billion and a half.

The current population level of just under 8 billion people is absolutely unsustainable, even at African Nomad levels of energy usage.
California surpasses 7M coronavirus cases
Thanks. Ironically I think of it as an anti-drama tool. For me, the drama is that removals are very often hidden from their authors, and revealing that puts people back on the same page.

This criticism has nothing to do with Game Pass. There are micro transactions whether you buy the game stand alone, play via Game Pass or play the free to play multiplayer.
That's a perfectly fair point, and the answer is, I don't know. It's quite possible that I misunderstood the report.
For comparison, the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens was about 24 megatons.
It's actually a very good price - even considering that you don't really pay for software there.
Shortly after the eruption I was seeing estimates of 100--150MT thrown around; bigger than Tsar Bomba, smaller than Krakatoa.

Edit: the Mount St. Helens eruption was about 25 MT total energy released.

> If Israel’s situation does really require essentially doing away with democratic norms, it’s somewhat delusional to still afford it that label

That's a bit of a stretch, I didn't claim any such exemption, and the state of affairs that you describe is not true either.

The facts described by the article were published by independent newspapers, and are now the subject of an investigation by the State Comptroller. See https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-693834
Nice! I can't be the only one who went looking and spent way to much time trying to acquaint myself with c++ :)

PS, I'm not totally sure, but they definitely use the count of letters as an optimization, and it seems they increment the bits associated with each type, so the order of the bits behind each NGX_HTTP_GET etc seems to matter...!

It's not the same. Amish fertility is 5-6 children per woman. Doubling is expected.

Native American fertility is actually below replacement (and lower than white, last I saw). But the definition of NA is more expansive, and the population can "expand" through outmarriage.
I think Oculus is too low res, but Simula One seems to be doing what is necessary. I’m on the wait list but it sounds like it could be a while.
Though the majority of running web servers, load balancers, protocol proxies like php-fpm, etc, are probably written in C :)
Alcohol is super expensive in NZ, exactly due to alcohol tax.

Right now 12pack of 330ml alcohol free Heineken goes for $23 NZD while alcoholic one is $22.

I remember paying €5 ($8 NZD) for 20pack or so of cheap stuff in Netherlands.

Cost to manufacture is negligible, really. Probably smallest part when looking at bottling and distribution.
As a user, I often do something akin to a binary search when direct addressing is available. It can be annoying when it isn’t available, or when there’s not at least a shortcut to skip 10 or 50 pages, or to jump to the end of the search.

This is such a strange article. It doesn't present anything or explain how a VR workstation can actually work.

Has anyone actually worked this way?

I spent about an hour with a Vive headset and it was the most obnoxious experience I ever had. The lack of feedback, the requirements of a large room free of obstacle, the awful screen door effect, the poor precision from the dual wands.

Overall, I was exhausted after just 30 minutes. That's not to mention the physical portion of using a headset + the wands.

There might a middle ground where you are sitting or lying down. But that still doesn't solve efficient input. As far as I see it, nothing really beats a keyboard.

I got into it thinking that we had passed the hype cycle, but it really felt like I was still in the tech demo hell.
That rebuttal straight up concedes the connection between slave patrols and policing in the US South since it's rebutting a fairly different claim.
> This type of 'update' is one reason I tend to stay away from so-called 'smart' devices.

That is why I call those devices 'dumb' devices (reminds me of a SciFi book where the AI helpers are called "artifically stupids"). Smart devices are local, no auto-updates, working with no issue in the event of an outage.

I have many smart devices, all that would stop working in the event of an internet outage, would be the voice interface.

I agree my response was snarky, I disagree it was shit. I wasn't looking for a "sick burn" sort of reaction.

Here's a slightly longer and more boring version of what I posted:

Itanium came out at the tail-end of a long movement from special-purpose to commodity hardware; servers and workstations were moving from 68k/MIPS/Sparc to PC-based hardware. It was a DSP that ran general-purpose loads "okay" when most people were looking for a general-purpose CPU that ran DSP type loads "okay" (i.e. the various SIMD extensions to x86 and POWER).

Anything that starts with "If Itanium had gone mainstream" is a counterfactual. Maybe it would have delayed GPGPU as the performance advantage of programmable shaders over running on CPU would have been smaller and maybe without AMD's competition, it would have allowed Intel to keep bus-speeds lower for longer.

My original point that Itanium was a failure to deliver the hardware people wanted rather than the failure of software to appear on said hardware stands.
lighttpd consumes 4MB while nginx is 8MB, so deeply embedded devices lighttpd is still preferred even today.

Depends on your definition of "not so long ago" - it's certainly most of the history of the web. The point when Perl, PHP, and Java started to become the dominant web app technologies is about as far from the present day as that point was from the moon landing.
On a trip to the Monument Valley, our guide explicitly told us they hate being named as Indian. They seem to prefer their tribal name or if I remember correctly, First Nation).

What you can do with a modern language isn't so different for each language. It's usually a matter of a few big points: static|dynamic|no typing, time performance, or memory performance. The rest are just details.

I fully admit that I find Ruby a much, much more elegant language compared to Python. I see Python as the caveman's tool. But I find Clojure much more elegant than Ruby. However, at the end of the day, or the project, what matters is what you achieved. I write Python when the libraries that serve me best are for Python, just as I use GNU/Unix tools and *sh when that suits me best.

It seems like time to make an effort to give up some preferences in favor of standards which will normalize and simplify our solutions. These would also make hiring and job finding much better for us all.
