Mozilla has a selector, mozResponseArrayBuffer, to get an AJAX result as an ArrayBuffer. Having worked with binary data from an AJAX query I whole heartedly applaud!

I hope Webkit has a mechanism for that, and even more so, that the W3C writes a standard for it.
Cool. But in my opinion, what matter the most is the conversion of files between Office and Google Docs. As a student (who have to submit paper in .doc or .docx), I have to buy Office because I can't be sure that the conversion will be fidel enough.
Keep in mind that if you decide to hire people later on, you may have to go through your site/app and change every instance of "I" to "we". :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbitz

"Orbitz was the airline industry's response to the rise of online travel agencies such as Expedia and Travelocity, as well as a solution to the continued increase in Global Distribution System (GDS) fees. Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, and United Airlines, subsequently joined by American Airlines, invested a combined $145 million to start the project in November 1999. It was code-named T2 — some claimed, meaning "Travelocity Terminator" – but adopted the brand name Orbitz when it commenced corporate operations as DUNC, LLC (the initials of its first four founding airlines) in February 2000.[4] The company began Beta testing early the next year, and Orbitz.com officially launched in June 2001"
I really want to. I just wish that the BDXL discs were, like, half as expensive as they are.

It's not M-Discs fault of course, I just have too much data...
The app asks 7 pages of very personal information. Then there is a text field to type an email address in. At no point is explained what happens to the data (the privacy policy is boiler plate), or why an email address is needed. Looking at the questions the same could've been accomplished by a 7 page offline PDF file.

All data is submitted to api.emailjs.com, a company based in Israel. It is not listed in the privacy policy.
its fun, he probably didnt make this for your company/corporation, He made it because he likes making stuff as a programmer.

I find it kinda interesting too so I might try it for my next project...thats how it goes.
Well, Ok then.
I don’t think they were saying that just the resources to build the reactors would exceed that CO2 budget, but rather that the world would exceed that CO2 budget in the time it takes to build the reactors.
That's incorrect. Simple was checking only until recently. (been a simple customer for about 7 years)
Please elaborate on what he's good at. I know nothing about Ferris, but 5 minutes of searching leads me to believe he's good at selling people on things that are at best unsubstantiated. His fortune was made off BrainQUICKEN - a snakeoil supplement to "help the brain" as best I can tell?
The one in 2016? Yes, that was really awful. But when talking about the specific pair of burning down a police precinct and murder of law enforcement I think the reference is to the Boogaloo Bois. Unless your "what about" has a more specific point that you could make more clear for me.
Real poverty rate- measured by cost of essentials to income.

The static list measures by income - assuming that costs are the same across areas. Which isn't true.
You're right. A more nuanced way of putting it would be that the Republicans prefer that government interfere less with economy. To that end, they support regulation which restrains government from interfering with the economy, and are against the more-typical regulation which directly interferes with the economy.

I think this restraint has merit, but not when applied to interference with monopolies and utilities.
I care about capability, not credentials. That said, a BS from a decent CS program has some value, if only as a filter. And programs like these "bootcamps" have a similar value with a much lower bar. In both cases you need to know the program to really figure out how to scale it in your decision.

Running an educational program is hard, I agree. And if you guys are doing a really excellent job of it over, say, 10 weeks the way I look at it is this: the potential hire is an entry level person who has about a 3 month jump on the approx 2 years it will take to make a developer out of them. If your program is a year long, they're maybe a bit over half way there.

So given that: I'd have no problem hiring these people as entry level (i.e. developer in training), and if I knew something about the program itself that would count in their favor against similarly green candidates.
Out of curiosity, how did you generate that list? I looked into doing something similar a couple months back, but i couldn't find nearly as complete of a source for syllable count.
Yes they do. I'm a recent App Academy graduate and everyone gets a job. There are a lot of benefits to doing a program like this versus a classical CS education. I've been programming since 8th grade, and I was a computer science major before I dropped out of college. I remember having CS professors that couldn't code themselves out of a box, but they "taught" the material they were supposed to teach. App Academy and other bootcamps prepare you for real world jobs by teaching you how to code. They also teach you data structures and algorithms- not as much as a computer science degree might, but by learning how to code, you learn how to look things up and apply them. If you're wondering if you should do it or not, it's definitely a yes. If you have any questions I would love to answer them.
Yeah, I agree that the tone of my comment was difficult to understand. Mostly, this is due to the fact that what I described in my post, that people think they're buying a product, also occurs in my own mind every time I think about contributing to a Kickstarter campaign.

However, if I sit and think about it, I realize that what I'm doing is funding an idea. Kind of like donating to a political campaign. There's no promise that my chosen candidate will win, and if they don't I wouldn't expect my money back. Obviously, this analogy breaks down somewhat because whether a candidate wins an election is ultimately outside of their control. Whereas for a Kickstarter project, presumably the vast majority are possible to achieve 100% of the time as long as they don't screw up somehow. And that's not even considering the quality of the final product- that the game is fun, the fancy electronic gizmo isn't a cheap POS, etc. (This is obviously buyer's remorse, although one could also argue these are fraudulent too if they promise a "fun" game, or a gizmo that's not a POS.)

Either way, if you read the TOS for Kickstarter, they actually only require that projects do their best. If they fail, they have various outs to continue compliance with Kickstarter. One of those outs is explaining where everyone's money went, and why they aren't able to issue refunds. Of course, they also go on to say that backers may still seek legal action against them for a failed project, but in most cases these LLCs are probably out of business anyway at this point. Regardless, they're in the clear from Kickstarter's point of view.
The problem with C/C++ and "newer" languages is that programs need to be individually compiled or have an interpreter installed to execute them - the main problem the author is solving.

The author precisely realises that there used to be multiple architectures, just like you, but also notices that we have converges on x86-64 - what she terms the lingua franca.

I also completely follows her sentiment, that we should not switch ISA unless there is a very real computation per power unit benefit of doing so.
Isn't that what flashlights are for?
Not that I blame you if you want a premium experience out of the box, but I've gone to Graphene and am quite happy.

Even my SSO works well enough. Some notifications rely on Google Play Services though, but I find I don't really miss those apps anyway.
Don't think the ads are in this release. They're being rolled out to a cohort of users, independent of version.
Sure, if you have a window manager that solves the problem that's great. The rest of the world can use Firefox's inferior integration while they wait for their window manager to get that feature.
I'm very interested in understanding what I'm doing and what I'm bundling into my software.

What I'm not interested in, is this kind of walking uphill in the snow both ways:

> So you had to make sure libs from one program didn't crap on another program. And developers had to be conscious of what dependencies they included in their code.

ie. having to understand what everybody else is doing in order for my software to run properly. No thanks. That's not why I'm here.

I'll put the exact dependencies I want, in the versions which work best for my software, into a Docker image or whatever tool offers a similar level of isolation, and I'll be working on my code while everybody else spends their time fighting over the ABI compatibility of C system libraries.
Funny, i've always imagined it was chosen only because it wasn't a regular slash like other systems. I never mentioned it though because i figured I was wrong.
While I do believe the Japanese murder rate is low, the Japanese criminal justice system is also a complete farce and I would not consider their statistics reliable.

Unsolved cases are unacceptable and so suspicious deaths without an obvious suspect are classified as a suicide or natural death with little investigation and no autopsy.

Not that when they believe a crime has occurred is much better.

If the police think you have committed a crime, you are guilty, whether you are or not.

If you don't agree that you're guilty, they can just torture you with sleep deprivation and non-stop interrogation for a month without access to a lawyer.

If you cave to the torture at any point and sign a confession (or if someone just...forges your confession) that confession will be considered binding with little chance of overturning it. Good luck withstanding that.

"Most of our offices are in large cities like New York, London and Stockholm"

I looked out my window and laugthed abit reading that. They can't compare Stockholm with London amd NY like that ...

Spotify in Stockholm does not pay NY wages today atleast.
What'd be the concurrency primitive used in the parallel block? Is scheduling done per loop or globally? All of these questions are trivial if there's a runtime and become very cumbersome if the language has ambitions to be usable without any standard libraries.
Iowa comes close. Sure it is a third, but on vastly less land area.
I agree - Adams is incredibly humble (and shy) - and he's driven by making the game he wants to play; he cares less about the mechanisms and more about the results - he wants edifying gameplay and a game that can tell STORIES.

It's almost perfectly the academic/amateur divide if you will; which is amusing given Adams' background in education.
> Crawford is not a genius, he is a visionary.

Why is it that judging someone as a genius or not comes so easy to everyone?

I find making that assessment incredibly challenging.
Wow! European here. Family of 5 and we are at 8kwh per day. Total yearly electricity bill is < 1000 EUR.
I read the article. There was like a little bit of criticism in article that contains both positive and negative claims. And everyone frankly overreacts to it. It is absolutely fair to disagree or argue against what was written, but it was not hit piece by any reasonable definition.

And the first article about him also did not done anything that would be objectionable.

And frankly, I have seen way more aggressive writing from journalists who are praised here as truth tellers.
Arguably, one of the dumbest things you could do is restrict the training and employment of medical professionals while simultaneously having privatized healthcare.

I disagree with private healthcare but there are ways to make it work.

Here is the basic idea. People are sick and there are not enough doctors and not enough drugs. Cost of healthcare rises until more doctors can be hired. Thus there will always be enough doctors. It also rewards superior care by making superior care more profitable.

However, if you artificially restrict the number of doctors then you are going against the idea of privatized health care. Similarly, if its possible to buy an existing drug to monopolize it and raise prices you are going against the idea of privatized healthcare.

It's the same with student loans. You privatize education and make students pay for it. Fine. However, by guaranteeing loans you did the exact opposite. You simultaneously privatized it and nationalized it in a highly inefficient way.
Looks like a type definition in Rust.
Is this like Angular in that it can't be run on a Node/io.js server to generate HTML? Any isomorphic plans for it's future?
As long as they find a way to stay a public company, they're a success in my book.
It's not just risk. It's complexity. Groupon is a single product. No single product is going to put human colonies on another planet. No single company, or even single government, seems likely to do that. What, precisely, is Sequoia or Kleiner supposed to throw a giant check at? The rocket maker? The rocket fuel maker? The habitat designer? The logistics and supply companies? The cryogenics company? Lots and lots of moving parts and interdependencies involved, and no apparently clear winner to take the lion's share of the financial upside.
Here in Brazil Log Drivers still exist, mostly in the Amazon Rainforest (lots, lots and lots of rivers, even between cities most transportation is by boat).

But usually it is done for illegal logging companies (it is illegal to log near a river, because the soil falls on the water and makes the river shallower).

Thanks for the link; that's going in the direction I was looking for. So could one say that V is essentially the Go the author would have wanted, and the new language is justified by the "~20%" difference, and an independent development is necessary due to the slow pace at which Go is evolving? So that would be a similar motivation as Nim versus Python, or Oberon+ versus Oberon.

The feature differences in list form are helpful; but the priorities and motivation for individual features would also be interesting; e.g. why is "variable shadowing" bad and why is the V approach better, and how can smaller runtime and binaries smaller by a factor of 100 be achieved with a feature set that is at least 80% the same as Go? Does this really have to do with the language definition, or rather with the implementation?
It's bringing back lots of memories looking through the XGenStudios catalog [1]. I remember playing Motherload when I was in middle school, around the time it was released (2005). It was a neat game, but was really difficult, with games lasting multiple days, a couple hours per day.

I replayed it a couple years ago and was done in about 3 hours. I see they have Super Motherload, released in 2013. I may have to check it out.

I jever said it was exclusively Christian nations, did I? The Barbary Coast pirates are just one example. This whole discussion started with a a claim that Christianity "ended" slavery by the Vikings. Christianity never had an issue with slavery if it was Christians doing the slaving. And it was Christian colonial super powers that used slavery all the way, in tremendous scales, all the way to the mid 19th century.
In that case, the road isn’t fit for purpose.
I was reading that one yesterday, in connection with https://math.stackexchange.com/a/4429436/25554 . (The answer that mentioned it has since been deleted.)
>Safari is IE: they are both browsers you should only use to download a better browser.

Safari's great for battery life. I've switched from Chrome for that reason. Judging from the system-wide beachballs and frequent fan spin-ups for no obvious reason back when I used Firefox, I assume it would be even worse than Chrome.

Its developer tools aren't that different from Chrome's, either, and it's got a decent selection of plugins. I have Chrome installed and occasionally use it, but close it ASAP.
I took a look at the FoundersCard during it's beta, I guess.

Seems to make sense if you have AT&T and don't have another corporate discount applied to your account.

However, I'm not on AT&T and when I have to fly one of the 'big carriers' for, say, international travel back home I don't fly American as they don't fly into LHR.

So for me, it didn't seem worth while. 15% discount on Uber is interesting and new since I looked, but if you can afford to take Uber cab enough then you're probably not an early stage startup :)
That isn't how their minds work though.
Python's stdlib docs could improve in places (I'm looking at you lib2to3), but a lot of the modules do include examples (see http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#module-colle... for an, um, example). My sense is that you see heavy examples in newer modules rather than older modules because of the rise of doc string tests.

But the real reason I wanted to comment: stop dir()ing through modules! Install ipython and learn to use ? and ??. Life will be so much easier.
"nearly 6 years of video is uploaded to YouTube every day"

I knew it was a huge amount every day, but this just blows my mind.
opt-in trial

Wasn't it like that from the beginning? Seeing the headline I assumed this was big news and they changed to WebM as the default.
They're showing the love to my bank account monthly. No complaints about violent tools, either. Can you elaborate?
The summary is that new videos are being transcoded to WebM, whereas the rest is going to take a while. The fact that the transcoding is already partially underway and I haven't noticed any difference probably speaks well for how the transition has been going (admittedly, I generally keep my browsers very up-to-date). EDIT: Aaah, just noticed the opt-in part.
WeWork seems to me like a real estate management group

A p trap can dry out. In my case the resulting sewer gas introduced 120ppm of CO into that bathroom, which started to dissipate and set off CO alarms on the next floor up.

This is common knowledge among the fire fighters here. They knew what was up once they found it.

So, how could VOC be entering buildings where they’re doing CIPP retrofit? Now you know.
Get a Thinkpad, remap the keys in software and never look down again.
OTOH, most of the very serious drawdowns in the past 200 years have been due to major wars or revolution. Both have been steadily decreasing for millennia.

It's extremely unlikely that the next 100 years will be anywhere near as turbulent as the past 100 years. In particular nuclear weapons increase the variance to the point that it's no longer relevant for stock portfolios. We're not going to have another Great War or WW2. Either we'll have peace between the great powers, or you won't care about your stock portfolio because you'll be vaporized.
It could literally be as simple as press a button to record the start of the game, and then retrieve it from the server later.
There was blue mode for a while. I remember using of Norton Commander, Turbo Pascal, where blue mode was the default and quite popular.
As I recall from 1491, the fisherman had enough trade as far as New England (by the 1600's) that the Pilgrims found a translator who already spoke English.

I wish HN would get a dark mode, and I don’t know why major apps like WhatsApp etc. are still dragging their asses over dark mode support while smaller apps with more complex UIs have already supported it for months.
Then what is Godel's argument, and why is it so perfect?

Once you've answered that, what kind of god does this argument "prove", and why should I believe in it, especially if it's not going to give me eternal life? How does a perfect argument conjure a god into being but not the perfect ice cream sundae and the universal pizza I can imagine?

The thing about rule law is that it's not about critical mass. It's the edge cases that are important. It's easy to have justice the majority of the time. If the state can arbitrarily subvert the rules just because they think it's really really important, that's not rule of law.

I know you're not arguing that it is, you're more talking about public opinion. I think you're probably right. But I wish that weren't the reality.
> I learned a valuable lesson here though. Don’t trust .gitignores and gems like Firago for keeping your data safe. Open source is awesome, but if you are dealing with anything that can be scaled up to thousands of dollars per hour – at least store it in a private repo if not on your local machine.

You learned the wrong thing :-P The lesson here is "always check what you're committing"
"we", "about us", "contact us", "Someone from our staff".

Running really is horrible. Let's not forget marathons commemorate a guy who ran until he died. I don't quite understand the pleasure people get from it!

Having said that I run 2km daily. No more, no less, 'tis a bitter pill but with heart disease in my family I consider it worthwhile insurance.
Thanks, that's a good overview. Hopefully something better than JPEG and WebP will come out of Daala still images.
Yeah, one of the other big issues that I've noted people in the field complaining about is how string theorists are indeed sucking up a disproportionate share of theoretical physics, but worse than that. Since their's is, from what I read, the US consensus on how to do that area of theoretical physics, in the usual group think fashion of funding organizations, other approaches find difficulty getting any respect, let alone funding.

Anyway, the problem here of course is that they would never accept being relegated to a field that's not "physics", since capital P Physics has so much respectability, pretty much the most of anything. But since they're now openly trying to redefine scientific truth (as the FDA did to come up with its second hand smoke "science"), it's hard to see any option less severe than the one you propose.
