That's just a setting choice on most up-to-date cameras. The mainstream film industry likes 24fps because it blurs motion nicely, among other aesthetic reasons. Feature films generally aim for expressionism rather than a simulacrum of reality.

I've never worked in porn but it wouldn't surprise me if 24p is the norm just because it's such a popular workflow choice that it's a highly-optimized default in many video-editing packages, and there probably isn't enough paying demand to support the 2.5x extra storage and bandwidth requirements of 60fps. I'd have thought for Oculus Rift the money would in 3d-modeled games rather than anything recorded with a real camera anyway.
I was/am listening to Car talk right now - when I saw this post. We are going to miss him.
Yeah, it will. I still use Redbox when they have what they want if I want it in Blu-Ray. iTunes' HD is pretty good, but it's no match for physical media even on my ancient 42" 720p plasma. But I don't know that grabbing a dollar from my wallet once a month is a sustainable business model.

Redbox is giving streaming a whirl, but frankly when I saw Verizon's name attached to it I didn't even bother.
The web-based version is way too outdated. Given Inbox was written using the newest GWT, and I assume Calendar is using an older version, maybe it won't be such a big deal to refresh that, too.
Indeed, the link you gave pretty much nails my exact issue with it:

> FreeBSD’s kernel crypto RNG doesn’t block regardless of whether you use /dev/random or urandom. Unless it hasn’t been seeded, in which case both block. This behavior, unlike Linux’s, makes sense. Linux should adopt it.

The system call is arguably better, sure, but it should also be quite possible to fix /dev/urandom to just block when unseeded so we can finally put this issue to rest.
Good job incorrectly conflating chip & pin with contactless transactions there Mr. Author. Entirely ignoring the fact that many US cards already have contactless built in even inspite of not having chip & pin.

Honestly the author is trying too hard to make this news US-centric. Trying to turn it into a discussion about why rolling out chip & pin in the US is "bad." While entirely ignoring the fact that chip & pin and contactless aren't one in the same, and that the US already has contactless.

Really poor article in general. The author either doesn't know what they're talking about or worse does and is trying to mislead the reader.
Why not both? At least enough to understand what each framework does well and why someone would want to use one over the other. I'm not a web dev, but from what I've seen angular seems to be more widely used so if you're heading down that path I guess you will be more likely to see angular at some point.
I gave context to the suicide rate by linking the page I did which clearly shows the San Francisco has met the target of less than 10 people per 100,000 dying by suicide, with a little green dial.

But suicide is still a significant cause of death, especially for middle aged men, even in San Francisco.
I laughed too hard. I'll get down voted?
Lets make a car analogy:

If you restrict a Japanese car seller to only export 10k cars to the USA, that car seller will inevitably export 10k luxury cars. The reason why they do this is because the demand for luxury cars wont be exhausted by such small numbers. Once they can sell unrestricted, they will definitely go for the far more profitable median market cars, because they can sell far greater volume of them.

If you want to prevent gentrification, you would allow massive density increases. The middle class out buy the rich in aggregate.

This blog article gives a better overview of the concept:

I've read Ted T'so dismissing the "/dev/urandom for everything camp" somewhere lately.

Together with his appearance here on HN, I very much doubt he's going to change his position anytime soon.

He thinks the criticism of Linux's random device is purely academic. Maybe he's right, he's certainly way better qualified than I am, but I'm still very unimpressed by how the Linux guys just dismiss any discussion for a changed random device.

Well, they implemented getrandom quickly. Let's take it as a promising sign.
I'm a little worried that this is introducing a new vector for spam. I have already been getting spam through invites (where they get auto-added to my calendar even before I have a chance to see what they are).

Frankly, I want my calendar to be a private calendar. I don't want to share it, or receive invites through it, or auto-add events just because I got an email. I'm still happy to have the sync capability, because I use a smartphone, but aside from that I really have no use cases which require my calendar to be online at all.

Admittedly, this may just be a case where Google's interests are not aligned with my own. If so, are there (real, viable) alternatives?

The mono compiler (that Xamarin uses, and would presumably be replaced by the Roslyn compiler), is released under GPL and MIT X11 licenses (https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/LICENSE)

I don't think this will have any effect on Xamarin licenses at all.
I would like to agree. My Yankee sensibility tells me I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars when the goal is simply to stand up at my desk. For the few times I need to sit I can use a stool as you suggest.

That said, I've been sitting at desks for decades. I'm a little reluctant to buy or build a high desk with the assumption that I will be able to stand at it all day and be productive. The adjustable desks give you a "way out" even if it's just for a few hours a day while you get used to it. I think that's why they are popular. Few people want to commit to a change like that and all the ways to "Try" a standing desk are nearly as much effort as the ~$500 is worth. especially if you are counting it as business or office expenses as I would.

In my case it would be $85 for the stool, plus a few hours labor and materials to build a little stand on top of my existing desk which includes a trip to the lumber yard. Then if I like it I go out and buy a permanent standing desk for about $150 and I'm rapidly approaching the same cost as if I had just gone and bought the adjustable desk in the first place.
No, I can't give references. I recall seeing that claim at least twice in the last six months or so, but that's a wide area to search. (And, not having references, I can't be sure whether it was the same person making the claim each time.)
Listening to car talk taught me an enormous amount about how to be an engineer, and it helped teach my wife how to be a doctor. How to formulate hypotheses and ask the right questions to test them, and that no matter how expert you are in your field, you will always encounter some oddball phenomenon that's entirely new to you.
Just checking but what would you do?

I'm absolutely shocked that Yahoo reformatted their blog URLs, didn't set up redirects, and broke old links. Shocked.
Do you mean that people should have a fixed standing-height desk, and also a tall chair they can either sit in or not? That is actually my current solution (desk cobbled from adjustable shelving plus a 3' length of used countertop, tall chair from Walmart), but it took me a few read-throughs to get that as a possible interpretation of your comment.
Really a special presence on the radio for so many years. So intelligent, so humane, so humorous, so useful!

> Dell has tried offering Linux on laptops: the sales are too low and the costs too high for it to be a viable business.

Well it's no surprise since the configuration options were extremely limited. Also the available specs were really crappy. There wasn't an XPS or Alienware option.

> so configuration is generally not an option. (Or not at a price people are willing to pay.)

Well then what differentiates Dell from anyone else?
I haven't done any performance testing on large data sets yet, but in general I've been super happy with the Go's CSV library, both in terms of performance and ease-of-use.

If the speed ends up being a problem, it should be pretty easy to add a "--bail" flag or something.
I agree with your points in general, but I think your point on AIDS is off. In the developed world, AIDS can be treated and managed effectively at this point to where it is essentially a long term chronic illness like diabetes. This is a huge departure from the terrifying death sentence it was in the 80s. Of course, these treatments are not accessible enough yet...
Nobody said SOMA didn't have residential property. It is a patchwork of different uses and zonings.

But you are simply* wrong that housing was destroyed or people were evicted to build live/work. As you now admit it was only built on industrial property. It is against the law to live in industrial properties - it simply not safe. However it is possible that people living illegally in industial space were evicted.

You stated that "a lot of people were evicted" to build live/work. Can you document even one example.

C'mon timr! You are letting you opinions corrupt your understanding of the facts. The world is just not so simple that everything will conform to preconceived beliefs. You need to actually check the facts not just make them up. Just admit you were wrong, move on and try not to do it again.

*-typo: simple->simply Thanks timr!
Another big advantage of doing this over using a local VM is that when you have to run the inevitable 12 terabyte software update (with six reboots) after not using it for a while, the updates download at Amazon data center speed, not your local connection speed.

Just make sure to save the updated machine image afterward. :-)

I pretty much agree with your point, but for those bringing in $240k as a family, after paying for rent in the most expensive area and having enough money for all your upper-middle class needs mentioned, still save at least SOME money every month. The same isn't true of most people in the rest of the country on $30-60k salaries - they're still paycheck to paycheck and often avoid doctor visits, quality food, and nice clothes.
It's not free, but I really like Browser Stack.
It's very clear that /dev/urandom will never be changed in a way that it could possibly block; that is considered by T'so to be breaking userspace. I could possibly see /dev/random adopting the BSD behavior, but more likely everyone who cares will switch to getrandom, and it won't be an issue anymore.
You don't need it for reference types, because those can just return a null.

I agree that it would be nice if C# checked that you dealt with the null case of the return - Resharper will happily warn me if I haven't, but it would be nice if the base compiler did. Maybe in the future!
I don't actually expect it to get traction, but I hate when I say I don't like HTTP2 and then having to rehash everything all over, every time. At least now I can point to a document that I can update, get input on, collaborate on, and show people who can analyze a more well-structured argument than belongs in a ton forum posts.

I think the best case scenario would cumulate with a FF add-on and apache module that would implement a bunch of the ideas in it as a proof-of-concept that could be pointed to as well.

Regarding the content-push header, It would be interesting to have a 4-phase (req, meta-res, meta-req, res) connection instead of a 2-phase (req, res). So, in the meta-response, the server would add a bunch of content-push headers. In the meta-req, which is all happening over the same connection, the client lists all the resources it needs. In the final response, the server would respond in a MIME-like fashion with all the resources requested.

I actually kind-of like that: bulk resource downloading but without the need to send all of them every time. It doesn't clash too much with the current model (i.e. if no content-push header is there, the response is treated as it would be under http/1.1. It's still able to be debugged easily and isn't trying to implement transport control either. It also removes much of the complexity and overhead of HTTP keep-alive.

Would you want to write out your idea and submit a pull request, or would you mind if I wrote up a portion about it?
The bottom line is a kernel developer, a senior kernel developer at that, should know this already, and should never violate the golden rule of kernel development, and if they did somehow, should not argue against reverting their userland-breaking changes. Seems to me, given the circumstances, Linus was much more reserved than he could/should of been. A great way to make people think twice before doing something stupid is to call them on the carpet when they do something stupid. There was no name calling, no profanity, no personal attacks here.

That's not to mention your snippet above would have received the same exact pushback (maybe more) from Alan at the time since Alan believed he was in the right.
That's great news, Linux may finally have an RNG where we don't have to choose between poor speed and poor security. However, it is still quite possible to fix /dev/urandom for existing code which runs at boot, which has caused many security issues on routers and such. Glad to see progress is being made though.

The "Don't" video looks like billiards balls on a break, which might be the feel certain apps are going for, particularly games. It doesn't make sense for a productivity tool like Calendar, obviously.

It's also just a guideline, a suggestion, and if you think your app would benefit from having items fly in and out in all directions, if that's the feel you want to give your users, that's your choice. It's just probably not the right choice in most cases.

> If I deploy my new triple-A game to the Web, and I'm only going to get 60fps on 25% of the browsers, and 15fps on the rest of them, do I really consider it the same ecosystem?

This was always an issue on the web. Browsers have always had speed differences on that scale - either due to browser optimizations, or running on much weaker hardware (a phone vs. a powerful desktop). We've never had consistency the way consoles do, which is why AAA games run best there.
In your experience is it CPU bound or disk? Maybe you can split files and use go routines etc?
Ask HN: Brazilian company going to SF for the first time. Can we meet?
Hi!

I'm a Brazilian developer and co-founder of https://brasilbybus.com - We sell bus tickets online.

Me and another co-founder will be visiting San Francisco from 12/7 to 12/12 to attend a demo day and I have some free time that I would love to fill meeting with local developers and companies. Is anyone up for a coffee during this week? :)

Just as a background information our company runs mainly on Microsoft stack on AWS, but we also use non-Microsoft tech on infrastructure and some non-critical apps and services.

I'm more than willing to share and exchange experiences both in the technical as in the business side of running a small company.

Thank you!
I'd be interested to see how quickly you could get a minimum wage job.

I'm not sure there's an ethical way to set up the experiment where you apply for a bunch of minimum wage jobs to see which ones you can get; and I doubt there's a way you can spend the time to do it.

But I'd be really interested to know if you could get a minimum wage job within a fortnight.

I loved Click and Clack. Their laughter and enthusiasm was always infectious. No matter how down I was, listening to Car Talk always lifted me up.

Though they were exceedingly smart and good at what they do, their self-deprecating attitude humanized them, and really instilled the lesson of humility.

Will miss him and the show.
One of my fondest memories growing up was sitting around the breakfast table with my parents while listening to the puzzler segment of the show, as well as when people would call in to have them diagnose random problems with their cars.

My dad, a decent car mechanic in his own right, would try to guess the cause himself and then we'd wait to hear if he was correct. Given that my dad passed away suddenly one month ago makes the timing of this even sadder for me. Truly the end of an era of my childhood.

Regardless, I'm excited to see more of these options.
I've only been aware of car talk for a few years (having moved from the UK) but this is sad. Seemingly every significant road trip I've done has involved laughing my ass off at something in that show, but also being struck by just how wise a lot of their advice sounds (whether it is might be something else). Mere mention of "Manila Folders" or the BMW 9 series manual is enough to reduce my partner and I to hysterics.

Already sorely missed. RIP.

No, it's a blessing. Removing the ability to debug your HTTP calls while at the same time shoveling money into the pockets of sleazy CAs who are in the pocket of the NSA isn't going to help anyone.

If we had a truly distributed, truly incorruptible CA system, I'd be all for shoving encryption down people's throats. As it is though, many things don't need encryption (such as any publicly-available informational site) and forcing people to use it by buying into a broken system doesn't make sense.

Yes, people should be using more TLS. But it feels really, really wrong to force this in at the protocol level. Encryption is a transport concern, not a protocol one. I understand the purpose behind it, but it's the wrong solution.
Browser Stack isn't usable in Europe, at least, due to latency. As in 'type characters and wait for them to appear on screen' or 'Eclipse' slow. modern.ie originally used it, I hope moving to their own system speeds up responsiveness.
