Upvote what you want more of. Downvote sparingly. I usually upvote more on comments I agree with and reserve downvoting for rudeness or gross stupidity (regular stupidity is better dealt with with a comment).
What if anything makes Dart better than say ES6 or ES7 or whatever version of JavaScript that adds optional types, generators, etc...
This outcome is worse than any of the 'worst-case' scenarios hypothesized by the ICA when they filed their open letter of complaint in May when the price cap was listed. In hindsight, why would ICANN classify .org (with its enormous base and community) the way it does new TLDs?

Would ICANN have any recourse if, after allowing this sale, the established registry dramatically raised prices?
Fair enough. But it’s also fair to quote the sentence you cited in its etirety instead of chopping it off at the comma:

« Heresy is any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs, in particular the accepted beliefs of a church or religious organization.«

A better word for a belief that disagrees with general sentiment without having religious conotations is iconoclasm which unlike heresy, has the religious meaning as its secondary definition.( heresy’s religious sense is still the primary definition according to oxford).

Though I must say I’m not surprised the differentiation between such words is coming to ruin given our general laziness in regard to language, the decay of religious systems, and a broad ignorance of etymology and history. It won’t be surprising to me if the word totally loses its religious elment in a few years.

Sorry for the salt. Have to presenr this one for the future so I can check my prediction.
It doesn't involve the mouse at all.
press windows key.

start typing, windows start doing an incremental search, heavily biased towards your most used programs in the list ordering, press enter if your choice is first on the list, or navigate with directional keys on the program.

Your method only works if the program you want is on the PATH, and if you type the full name of the executable.
The article is saying that you don't "build for the older browser" --- or indeed any browser specifically, but instead start off with basic HTML and adding just enough markup and styling around the content as you desire. Maybe you'll later tweak the site to look exactly the way you want in a specific browser, but this process means that even if it doesn't look perfect, other browsers will likely be able to use the site too.
Psalm 104:5 (NIV):

> He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.

Ecclesiastes 1:5 (NIV):

> The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.

A literal interpretation of the bible has the earth standing still while the sun moves. Of course you can interpret any text any way you like, and if somebody wants to make a contrived argument that Moby Dick was really about a shark rather than a whale then there's nothing I can do to convince them otherwise, but the text seems quite clear.
I don't think you would need Electron in the situation OP is describing...

Intel is very much of the mindset of that it is a silicon company selling hardware and everything else is accessory to that. The software is just inducement to use the hardware. Users of the compiler are not inherently customers; they're only customers if they're using the Intel compiler on Intel CPUs.

Yes, it's a weird mindset for a company that employs a lot of software engineers.
And industrial espionage to steal contracts form Non-US "allied" countries for economic gain.
Online yes - but a hell of a lot of Tcl was being written too, by people who just couldn't be bothered posting about it.
I'm sure I wouldn't believe what happens next.
One thing I'd say -- there is too much information about you there. The first thing I read at the top was "Hi, I'm Michael, a student and entrepreneur, and I've created a business- and environmentally-friendly product I think you'll like." This isn't important to your product, and it just seems like a bunch of fluff. Then further down you have more information on the left side about you. To be frank, I came to your website to learn more about your product. Focus more on what you are offering and less about introductions.

Just my two cents.
Though unfortunately upddate files are still distributed through centralized repositories.

I wonder whether there'd be major security concerns if a torrent layer was stuck over the main centralized backbone? It could probably reduce bandwidth costs for hosting and provide better speeds to people, though keeping the "swarm" updated might be kind of tricky.
To use the cliche - there's an app for that. It's called Epicurious and it's great. Not daily/weekly breakdowns but you can type in what you have in your fridge and it'll tell you what you can make with it. Of course if you have a smartphone or a tablet you also have google. Got a mind-blowing recipe for marinaded steak online that everyone loved :)
I just go the symlink route, and move Photos/Movies/Music to the HD with symlinks left behind. I guess it isn't as robust for Time Machine backups, although I haven' tested this!
As a sysadmin. I don't love any other tool nearly as much as I love atop. It comes close to making all other interactive general-purpose performance monitoring tools redundant. The logging, too, is fantastic. There's nothing like looking through the graphs of my metrics gathered by collectd, wondering why a certain spike or pattern occurred, and being able to step through previous days per-process resource usage via atop and figure it out. There's a great introduction to it at https://lwn.net/Articles/387202/
I usually abstain from "No, you're wrong" responses, but re-read this thread, particularly dman's longer explanation in reply to himself. He's accurate. Your attempted nit-picking is not.

990X et al are CPU chipsets. Not GPU chipsets. This is about the integration between the graphics cards and the CPU, not about inter-graphics card protocol.

EDIT: A better way to put this is that they're not licensing SLI to AMD, AMD has no use for SLI, they have crossfire. They are providing a chip that integrates with AMD CPU chipsets to motherboard manufacturers. I hope that's more clear.
Now, the cluster I have access to is impressive (several hundred nodes of 4 cores machines, separate development and execution nodes). But as a grad student, it was one Dell PowerEdge server that was the head node to a PS3 cluster, and another Dell PowerEdge that served as the backup file server. Both of the Dell PowerEdges cost between $5-10k.

I did have luxuries - most of the time I was the only one using the machines. But as a grad student, I don't think I had access to more resources than someone at a small software firm. However, I did only need to deal with text input and output. I can see having to compile, execute and test locally when dealing with consumer software.
Honestly $180k sounds like a steal compared to how much it would likely cost to investigate/deny this.
Modules on the web will have a hard time due to:

* Not good enough HTTP2 support in browsers. Browser will for example download pushed files twice, once when pushed, then again when imported, and not caching the pushed files.

* Many developers prefer to brake their code up into small files, meaning there will be a lot of hops until the entire dependency tree has been resolved.

* There is no standard for lazy loading, meaning the user need to download everything, even if only 5% is actually required.

As much as a hate bundlers, and would like to see more code moduleability on the web, bundlers get the job done using code splitting, deduplication etc.
Soooorta. It can actually translate between SQL dialects so it's a more like 1:10 mapping.
Why not just make a smartphone app? Maybe customize which virtual buttons you have based on what you need? Am I missing something?
The pot question won't immediately disqualify you -- you'd just have to sign a waiver saying your employment means you're not allowed to use illegal substances. They'd also ask you and confirm this in the lifestyle polygraph.

The foreign nationals question is a matter of seeing how deep your clearance process is going to go. If you're in Kansas and the only people you know are from Kansas and all of your Facebook friends live in Kansas, it's going to make it easy for the FBI agents (who conduct the clearance work) to do the required interviews. If you start listing foreign national contacts, each one of them has to be investigated individually (the ones who are close relatives), and that's a lot of work. It's basically easier to fail someone on that and hire the person in Kansas.
CPLX, the whole point is I don't think I should. And yes, we want to make it a big thing, just wait and see :-)
The Chinese, Iranians, and Russians take a similarly proactive stance on political assassinations. Should we emulate them on this front as well?
Stick a nice Duracell button beneath every one of them.
Rounding in Python is interesting though:

https://www.askpython.com/python/built-in-methods/python-rou...

"Also, if the number is of the form x.5, then, the values will be rounded up if the roundup value is an even number. Otherwise, it will be rounded down.

For example, 2.5 will be rounded to 2, since 2 is the nearest even number, and 3.5 will be rounded to 4."
Pretty much. We're definitely gonna fail to do anything significant about any of this crap until it forcibly ends the way everyone actually lives their lives.
Just watched Gold Diggers. It was delightful. Worth it just for the Forgotten Man song at the end but I enjoyed it all.

> The interesting things happen at the edges

True in biology also. Much more diversity at the boundary between ecosystems.
Like people you don't want to have contact with but have your old number being remained that you exists and starting to annoy or harasser you again.

And pleas don't respond with "you could just block them" that not in line with how the psych of many, especially vulnerable people work.

Also pleas don't respond with "you can just change your number", for many people changing their number is hard which again for some vulnerable people can mean it's basically impossible.

Sure it's not a "my whole live will be messed up because of it" feature, but it easily can be very very unpleasant.

Like as an harmless example I know someone who completely changed their live and do not really want to have contact with anyone from their old circle of friends (not because of them being bad people, but because of the memories this includes). But they are to polite and insecure to outright block them, similar changing the number isn't an option for them. And guess what happened recently Signal told me: Hy person X joined Signal. I knew better then to contact them, but I wouldn't be surprised if this caused them quite a bit of distress/discomfort.

Anyway, I'm fine that people which have my number can write me over signal, or that their app knows when the number is changed, to warn if the old number is used and hint at you when you try to contact the old number. I'm not happy about Signal (and others) actively telling everyone "Hy this person did [join|change number]". It's unnecessary and for some people harmful.
> If we abandon the scientific aspects of psychology, mental illness will still need to be dealt with, but without any framework of rigor or understanding.

I think false rigor is worse than no rigor at all.

> In the linked article's example, if psychology were purely art, there would only be the authors' book, not a paper with actual math to debunk and a journal to interact with. I am probably overstating my point, because when a specious claim is backed up by scientific trappings people may be more likely to believe it, but I am increasingly less certain of that.

I think the primary reason why people are less likely to "trust" scientific results now than in the past is precisely because of some scientists generating "scientific trappings" with the appearance of rigor to justify a bullshit result. Most of the time, no one cares, and those scientists go on to their academic careers as usual. Of course, it's the follow-up careers, books, headlines that lead to the erosion of trust, not the fake math itself (that's just necessary to gain the approval of other scientists).

When that is attached to something that the average person can blatantly see is wrong, it erodes their confidence in the entire scientific process and establishment. They'll reject the entire concept of rigor before believing some of the things scientists claim to be true. How is a lay person supposed to separate the modeling that goes into e.g. climate change and "a 2.9 positivity ratio is the key to happiness"? To them they look pretty similar, a bunch of mathy looking garbage that tells them something that isn't intuitive.

Personally, I've been forced to sit through a lot of corporate management trainings that are full of citations of titillating psychology results that I know are bullshit. I just don't have the patience or motivation that Nick Brown has to properly debunk them.
Whatever is deciding if the traffic is tor or not can get ddos'd too.
Would really love a KVM version, simply because you can't run VirtualBox while you have the KVM modules loaded which is annoying as I run multiple KVM VMs.

Is there any future chance of libvirt compatibility as an option?

And there we go - the typical HN oh no, it costs money ($99 for an engine, mind you, that may save you hundreds of hours development time). How much do you charge per hour? Can this library save you hundreds of hours? Do the math.

I am not surpirsed at all that the average tech startup is a failure, with more than half of the people failing to get the "charge money for product/service" model everyone else in the world is using.

Oh no, it costs money. So what exactly are you trying to start that succeeds without having a price tag on it? Man, I get tired of this, really. For every spot-on comment on HN, I read 5 that make me dumber each day.
That is really quite nifty :)
Terrorism is merely the pretext for building a massive counter-insurgency apparatus. If the federal government is this concerned about insurgency it seems likely that they plan to consolidate their power.
I have a very warped model of browser usage, which in practice has translated to using:

* IE for two banks
* firefox+adblock for gmail, github and chesscube
* chrome for facebook
* opera for everything else, which includes HN.

Just looking back at that list makes it seem even more terrible than it actually is :(
Probably much harder than simply adding a new record resource type.
I've hoped for an app that would be a central place for subscriptions, almost like a subscription store, where I could give them say $20/month and divvy that money up amongst a variety of services available there. Maybe one is $0.50/month, another $1, another $3, etc. And then this store can pay the services in bulk, say 1,000 customers at $0.50 is $500 payment to the company.

Should cut down on transactions fees and help both subscriber and service more centrally manage subscriptions.
I'm very glad that they mentioned this attack is only applicable under a very specific threat model.
The Cannonball Run has very, very little to do with repeated 0-60 pulls.
I've never met a CEO that doesn't understand their main product. Sometimes, the main product isn't what the employees and engineers think it is. Sometimes that product is the company itself.
I'm not talking about "failure to maintain a vehicle" in a general sense, either; I'm talking safety-related recalls as well, because there have been serious repercussions in willfully ignoring safety-related recalls in the automotive world.

IIRC, under the aegis of seatbelt laws some states impounded cars that didn't get a critical safety-related recall due an issue with the Toyota automated seatbelts of the late 80s/early 90s.

Issues like that often end up with class action suits to deal with corporate liability issues, it's not all personal liability either.

Maybe that's still too "one time for one particular issue" to easily dismiss the flaws in your analogy. What about emissions-related recalls?

Some states still have ongoing vigorous emissions testing requirements and some of those requirements include checking for emissions-related recalls. Failures are sometimes impounded, almost always disallowed permits/registrations to use of the roads.

One of the largest scandals of which should still be in recent memory, "Dieselgate", where VW was forced at great expense to recall entire models of cars that would not be allowed on the roads of all states that followed US EPA laws. Which the US federal government led a lawsuit (which included several states as additional complaintants) against VW for the problem, and leveraged a massive corporate liability fine. VW had to work to buy back all the recalled vehicle models, and had to do massive corporate restructuring in response to the US provided mandates that they accepted in lieu of fine payment.

Your car analogy is over-simplified, even if it is not entirely wrong.
Just as a heads up, you can email support after your free trial and ask for an extension. They'll pretty much always give it to you. If you're a student, you can send in your student ID and get a year free. YNAB changed my life.
Perhaps Tesla's market share in Europe could have been better had they had actually cars to ship there?

Just saying. Tesla had a record year and consistently high demand for Model 3 and Model Y.
I am reminded of a cartoon in one of my environmental studies college texts. (IIRC:) The cartoon depicted a colony of bacteria on pre-historic earth having hissy fits and NIMBY-like protests that their off-gassing of oxygen was destroying the environment and would soon endanger the survival of their species if something wasn't done about it.
But, it's not that hard to do a smoke test that doesn't deceive consumers.

What's odd though is the company that everyone looks to as getting consumers the best doesn't appear to do any of this sort of validating.
It will not end South Korea. Has Japan ended? (it got two bombs). However, it'll cause so much damage, a damage that might need years and years to mend, a damage that South Korea would never want to see.

MINI "ASK HN":

For those of your who've got it and get how it works, is there a simpler way of explaining the features that matter most to you?

We thought "personal trainer in your pocket that gets you doing little bits of activity throughout the day" was an ok start, but I think we were wrong; people (at least on HN) are really interested in getting to the specifics.

Suggestions?
Sweet, if someone buys it up I may not be forced to use Yahoo ID.
They probably bought a long registration and the card they used expired during that period.

I doubt that this shouldn't have been here on HN -- Google knows and anticipates that all news around Android are being watched closely and heavily anticipated by a large and tech savvy audience. I'm just not sure what to think about the current release delay. I have a hard time believing Google just pushes the code to kernel.org without contributing network infrastructure and servers... couldn't they easily help out kernel.org if this was just a technical problem.

Because the answer doesn't matter. If you just need the answer you can use a calculator. The point is to help kids develop an intuition for how numbers work.
It is mainly Windows, but as stated in a few other answers people are using Mono in production. How long ago did you look around? I have to admit that it's only really become fully practical (in my mind) in the last 6 months or so.
The problem with Common Core is that it phrases questions like yours using weird words and focuses on specific procedures instead of the correct answer (or a range or reasonable answers).

So depending on some factors, your question might be answerable with either "about $5" "about $5.50" "$5" "$5.50" or "$5.55".

Which one is the one that will get the child a correct mark? No idea. But you can see any number of angry parents posting pictures of they're children's homework grades where "$5.55" is marked wrong even though it's the most correct.

Some people will argue that "well the subject was about estimation", well that still leaves the child with 4 possible correct answers, but school being school, only one of them will be counted as "correct" and anything else will be marked wrong.

It turns what's normally an error bounded estimation problem with degrees of accuracy into a binary right/wrong problem that looks exactly like arithmetic and is graded like arithmetic, but unless you have the curriculum guide with the answers in it, it's a crap shoot to figure out what the expected "correct" answer is.
The math curriculum I was exposed to in school (relatively recently, by any standard) always included critical thinking and was likely the subject that involved the most critical thinking because it was the subject where critical thinking was the most objective.
The behavior of the WP adminship surrounding that particular controversy has revealed a serious problem with their policies that they do not seem to want to fix: consensus is regarded as gospel.

It is physically impossible for Wikipedia to factually report on something that is being misrepresented by the mass media, because mass media consensus is taken as the only thing that matters in establishing verifiability per their policies. This means that if the media is misrepresenting something, so will Wikipedia, and any attempts to correct the record will be seen as "original research" and deleted.

Say what you want about that particular controversy, but the problem is real either way.

I agree to the React bit. I have been trying to get past building Todo apps with Angular and Ember but didnt succeed. React somehow seemed more natural and easier to grasp the whole concept rather than the complex stuff and steep learning curve of Angular.

The whole world isn’t picking up on the Hunter Biden story. There are news outlets and social scenes all over the world.

Tucker Carlson has said that he had critical evidence of crime that would destroy Hunter Biden, but he doesn’t want to release it because he would be kicking an already fallen man. Even Fox has cooled on the story.

Either the story has legs or it doesn’t. Either you like Tucker Carlson and Rudy Giuliani's take on it or you don’t, as they are among the few to assert access to the evidence in question.
