@jafl5272 -- Jo is brand new, so it's nowhere near the maturity of YUI or jQuery yet, agreed. As for progressive loading, Jo is geared more for downloadable apps (using PhoneGap, OSX widgets, Opera widgets, Chrome Apps), so the rules of engagement are a little different (and flexible). Also, jsdoc does not have the flexibility out of the box to even handle custom events (though YUIdoc does) -- I've used both extensively, and still wanting more. I liked the idea of natrualdocs, but preferred markdown as a better plain text standard. Very readable in the source, and easy to produce decent HTML with. joDoc is primitive at the moment, but it does munge markdown comments together with auto-links and an index for now. Seems like a good start. :)

@aaronbrethorst -- this was leaked a bit earlier than I expected, so I'm scrambling to put together some more interesting sample apps. Please stay tuned, or better yet, collaborate on GitHub and help make one. :)

@detrus -- agreed that it needs a good "positioning" summary, interesting suggestion. :)
By the way, try first to buy that domain you want to buy...before gaining traction. Gaining traction brings traffic to that owner also...thus, the price is raised because of this too.
I figured because it was repeated it was simply the same word in a different language, but having it presented as English bugged me some =P
It more of a meta-comment about the genre of articles that yours loosely fit under :).

I missed the fact that you were actually referencing a claim made by Apple--sorry for jumping to conclusions!
The point we should all take away from this is to avoid inflammatory comments that segue into the point you actually want to make. They serve only to distract and weaken the opinion.

A simpler statement would have sufficed - say, "I believe these laws are too broad and should be rethought, as the impact of violating it in this case would be negligible." Civility is key.
It's weird to think that in 20 to 30 years well have magnetic fields this strong in every day devices. I wonder how we will deal with issues like this.
Very similar here, typescript + react + postgres + kubernetes for a full web app deployment. I'm a solo dev working with various SMBs and this is my current go-to stack for new projects. I do lots of smaller projects and I can have a high development velocity with this stack.
XTrackCAD[0] is a free & open-source CAD program for designing model railroad layouts.

Here are collections of user created layouts.[1,2]

I also live in SEA. While distilled water is pretty popular (gaining more popularity these days), spring waters are even more popular and widely available (also tastes better IMO).
Using black is not about how the code looks but to eliminate an entire suite of review comments/discussions. Everyone simply runs black over all code before submitting and no one ever comments about how anything is formatted.
(Author here) Absolutely! I love TypeScript and refuse to write JavaScript without it (even just in JS-checking mode with jsdoc annotations), but I'm already fighting, like, 4 different battles in that article, I didn't want to bring a fifth one into the mix.
This is ancient... Dates back to 2011 or so.
London has had 10,000's of mini-cabs for decades that served a big chunk of this non-Black cab market. They weren't perfect but they were cheap, pretty ubiquitous and served most (if not all) of the spaces left in the market by black cabs.

So Uber as a service hasn't been that revolutionary in London, the things they HAVE done is improve the ordering UX and making CC's ubiquitous.
HTTPS Everywhere was well-intentioned, but the people behind it didn't realize that high-volume use of HTTPS forced less secure use of HTTPS. That's why it's a form of security theater.

I still trust the link between CloudFlare and Hacker News more than I trust the link between a dodgy ISP and Hacker News. Further, there's no reason that a CDN can't use SSL to the backend, so in that case the only weak point is the CDN and the original site, not any of the links.

Using HTTPS to a CDN is still far better than using HTTP to a CDN or to the original site.
"Putting it into the querystring instead of a POST body is a bit surprising, but I think not utterly negligent."

Putting sensitive data into query strings has been considered bad practice for a very long time. To name just one problem among many, it goes into the browser history.
My advice is the demo video should show something compelling being created not a bunch of completely random nonsense that does nothing to evoke any kind of connection with anyone. Presumably you created this with this Hamletesque title to create memorable "Internety" experiences. Show one. Otherwise I think it is hard to understand. Sure, someone else could probably create something much better than is in that video but if even the creator can't create something compelling ... its a bit weird. Just my advice. It is an interesting drawing tool, otherwise.
It's because languages are designed to be niche. There are so many languages, that to be used you just need to be good at one or two things.

The "universal" language would be fairly low level, but would allow you to create your own DSLs. So you'd really be designing your own language for each task. That language would be 100% suitable to the task at hand. For example, you'd embed SQL directly into your code, not as a string, but actually parsed by someone's library so it's syntax checked.
I guess probably bad name for app, its not even searchable name, lots of lots of portfolio apps.
It sounds like this work has expanded the envelope for how wide a set of inputs the autopilot will stabilize (and that's a bit more difficult at time of launch - so good going!).

But, the mention of GPS is odd here as GPS is mostly useful for navigation, not basic vehicle stability (though you can couple it in for longer term sensor refinement... wether you decide to couple it to your pre-launch sequence is a separate issue too...).
Even if they are not convicted, these charges are more than enough to appeal the entirety of the case against Ulbricht.

As someone with direct experience with police corruption (I will save the story for some other time), I hope like heck he gets relief from his conviction due to these stunning revelations.

I don't claim to know all the details or connections between these rotten agents and the non-rotten ones, but to be honest, I don't think it matters much.

The actors in power have to be held to a much higher standard of conduct than the criminals do, and just the appearances of these perhaps illegal behaviors should cast grave doubt over the entire case.
The example you gave about Florida is actually very old, and is summed up in the "parable of the broken window":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window

As you can see in the Wikipedia article, there are actually many different interpretations and views on whether or not that rebuilding adds value to the economy.
Is PyPy basically going to replace the regular CPython runtime that people currently consider "Python"?
The folks stealing bitcoins probably would never take $200 out of grandma's purse...

You're probably right, and that would be great if agents primarily came into contact with grandmas and their purses. However, these individuals were employed to investigate successful criminal enterprises. It is very doubtful that this is the first time they've had an opportunity to steal from the wealthy target of a criminal investigation.
The lender for a secured loan is also obligated to not damage or devalue the collateral.

It is clear to me, if not clear to the courts, that in aggregate, mortgage lenders caused the collapse in real property values in 2007, the same properties that were the security for their own loans.

If you pawned a guitar, and as you watched, the pawnbroker snipped each string with wire cutters, then used a gouge to carve an obscene doodle on the body, would you still feel a moral obligation to pay back the full value of the loan as promised? If you got an auto title loan, and one night you discover that the lender was in your driveway, smashing up your car with a sledgehammer, would you still feel a moral obligation to live up to your promise to repay? Why then would you feel a moral obligation to honor the terms of your note for the very people that cut the value of your home in half?

The moral thing to do would be to deduct the damages to the collateral by the lender from the principal on the loans.

So far, the courts have not been considering this angle. Lenders drag their heels on modifications, fighting every step of the way and seizing upon any possible excuse to avoid reducing the principal.

The moral issue here is moral hazard. If you know the government will always take your side, you have significant incentive to always act like a total prick. And that is what the mortgage lenders have been doing.
"Why the obsession of economic growth?"

Because central banks (CB) print money out of thin air. That "money" is debt. You print 100, you owe 110 counting interest. How can you pay the 10, if you only printed/exists, 100? You can't. You, me, everyone, is a debt slave. "Times are good" = CBs print a lot of money (out of thin air). A lot of non existant interest too, but you don't notice, cause more money/debt is printed. "Times are bad" = Enough is enough, CBs stop printing, you have to pay/give back, what doesn't exist, ie the interest. Defaults are unavoidable, and the people on top, pick up whatever they want on pennies to the dollar.

To put it simply: You print 100 out of thin air. There is no more money in the world. Next year, you owe 110. Where can you find the 10? (Spoiler: You can't.)
Is there a transaction module that provides a null/no-op implementation for compatibility with CPython?
The Homecomputer on witch most programmer learned where to slow for functional languages of that time. So FP could only be used in specialized domains.

Most programmers went form basic (lack of alternative) to C then C++ and now Java thats a path of simularity. Most where never exposed to functional programming and now the all have a hard time to switching there OO brain off.
I think phishing is a more generalized problem; blaming OpenID or OAuth 2.0 for that is like blaming the weather.
No need to log in; it is possible, and always has been possible, to participate as a cookie-based user indefinitely.

We have some users that juggle cookie based accounts for as long as a year. And as of about 6 months ago we can reinstate your cookie on the "forgot my login" form, provided you gave us a valid email address to start with (we don't validate emails).
The ACM has a moral imperative to create and edit journals and make them freely available on the web?

I'm a member of the ACM, and I every year I gladly pay a few hundred measly bucks to have access to their archives. I see no reason to begrudge them their business model.
I have never personally used buildout so I can't speak about it pro or con. It always seemed a bit heavy handed to me but that's an uninformed opinion.

I also think the idea of packaging to egg files is somewhat unneeded. When I use pip, I use cheeseshop for the more established frameworks I depend on (Django, south, etc...) but I also use pip to pull directly from various git repos.

When I package my own projects for use, I just drop a setup.py script in there and then install from github using pip. Looking at my requirements.txt for my main project, I have about 10 dependencies from cheeseshop and about 10 pulling from various git or bitbucket repos.
I'm german, and that was my impression too, the rational style is great. I'm looking forward to read analysis on differences between those reports and official statements (in particular Bush era).

It feels like reading a history book almost in real time - This is the kind of stuff i would expect journalism to deliver as their daily work. If it was a newspaper, I would subscribe for that.

I think you're severely misreading the history here. Most of the constraints on our modern financial system, including the SEC, were built after the Great Depression to try and prevent it from repeating.
It should be noted that when you buy credit information from a site like Ratsit, the person being queried will receive a notice to this effect, including the identity of the person/business making the query.
That made me realize how much I missed .NET and my favorite tool LINQPad. Add Dapper next to your advanced ORM and you're basically unstoppable.
Any individual kindergarden may be unlikely to have it happen, but this is a business selling to multiple.

The more salient point is that even once is too many.
These arguments are correct and repeated for many many years. Nevertheless in reality most of the stated reasons have almost no real practicability.

They re correct in an "academic view" but most applications are CRUD and based on an ORM and there are not many columns fetched too much which will make any difference. There are some rare cases where these statements are correct, especially the lob fetching but in these cases most often the queries are switched to manually specifying the columns just for these tables.

What is really needed would be something like SELECT * EXCEPT verylargecolumn FROM mytable ...
So in most cases fetching to many columns would be no problem, but if there is really a column which is probelamtic you could easily request to ignore it.
No idea what that would take, I haven't had the honour of working in a windows environment in a decade.
Absolutely this was drummed into me 20+ years ago when I worked on my first major sql based project
I'm almost about to think people who just keep criticizing blockchain on wrong points are those who missed the investment opportunity to just get the steam off.

Blockchain on Bitcoin is meant to be inefficient. That's why there's a fair distributed race because it's a waste and no one has any head start or another motivation to mine to go ahead of the others.

You can come to think of something efficient and you should be able to start your blockchain and get funded well but criticizing is certainly the easy part.
No, they are not optimized for hitting rock walls.

They are optimized for keeping costs low, getting reasonable performance and gas mileage, and meeting government safety standards.

A car that is optimized for hitting a rock wall would get about 1 mile per gallon and have a top speed of 1 mile per hour.
Programs obviously are what complete the task of populating/refining the markov chains.

You need a masters in CS to do that professionally, most likely.
Compare this to 'Paper', Facebook's other iOS app which has 4 stars:

https://www.facebook.com/paper

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paper-stories-from-facebook/...

Not only is it a great app, but it's also given back to the iOS community in the form of several great open source projects:

https://facebook.github.io/origami/
https://github.com/facebook/pop
http://asyncdisplaykit.org

I find it fascinating that Facebook has two independent iOS efforts, and that while one is clearly better than the other, they seem content to pursue both apps. (Notably, Paper is still not available outside the US–I use Papers personally and can't imagine going back to the default app which just feels a bit lifeless in comparison, crashes/bugginess aside.)
The biggest takeaway from this story is "The absence of a specific QA function may be hampering the company as well." QA is vital. A proper QA department sees the forest and the trees. Developers see the trees (or, in some cases, just the branches). Having proper QA means that John doesn't accidentally break something that Julie was working on, because they run regression tests. It's quite astonishing that QA isn't a separate team at Facebook for their iOS apps.
This would have to start talking about the problems with previous attempts (box2d...)
They normally bankroll and distribute the game.
You seem to be doubling down on aggressive ignorance of human physiology. You can believe what you like but what you're proposing is simply nonsense in the general case, more akin to alchemy than anything resembling actual science or engineering.
I don't have much experience with LG phones, but my experience is exactly the same as you mention with Samsung vs. HTC, Samsung vs. Sony, and more recently, Samsung vs. Huawei. All of these four brands are or have been prevalent in my family and close friends and I have tried at least 4 or 5 of each.

To me, Samsung's UI has always been the clunkiest and worst of all I tried, plus their phones have a tendency to degrade fast in terms of battery consumption and lag (I don't know if due to hardware or software updates). And yet, the press has always praised every Samsung flagship while often lambasting the competition.

Honestly my hypothesis is that they just devote a lot of money to buy reviews.
Is this an intellectually challenging piece, or “deeply interesting”? Definitely not. But if you have a heart and feel like a good cry, this is what you need.
Unfortunately it's not physically possible to be neutral on this issue.

It's not analogous to never giving people change on the street because you donate to soup kitchens and mutual aid orgs (or whatever). If you don't support unionization, you are effectively undermining it. This isn't meant to be some kind of woke purity test. It's just the facts of how a market operates.

Every individual that is willing to work without supporting a union, is an employee that hurts the power of that union, because that's one less unit of labor that the employer has to rely on the union for.
I have used craftwork design method framework to build startup landing pages and websites.

https://craftwork.design/downloads/method-4/

It ships with many layouts, blocks and components in React that you can mix and match for building landing pages. If building a page from scratch isn't in your wheelhouse it's quite useful to get something out quickly.
Isn't that trade-off already made on the CDC guidance of 5µg/dL? This is pretty much an economic decision, because the reference value is changed to match the .975 quantile of blood lead observations. It was 10µg/dL until 2012.
Yes, I agree with you, Uber should have to deal with it.

A lot of people in this thread are arguing that the driver should be forced to suck it up and I think that's shitty for both the driver's and rider's safety.
As a homebuilder, 100% of labor is done by subcontractors. For me to blame subs for any issue is beyond comprehension. What makes Uber different?
Funnily enough my story is the opposite - I don't care very much but my Dad (72) just announced to my brother and I that he's moving to Signal and we need to follow him over there...
>which is that the responsibility for safety has to be taken at the org at every level.

The CEO has enough power to prevent such a thing from ever happening (by that I mean he can easily create a morally corrupt company culture) and there is a very big profit motive to do so.
>The hardware companies are still stuck way in the past.

If only. In the past it was common to provide schematics of your hardware in order that people could repair it. This was common for consumer products, industrial, instrumentation, test gear, almost everything. For example, the manual for the Amiga 500 had the schematics in it.
Print it yourself
That doesn't answer the question. Even Spot requires constant battery swapping to be able to function all day. Its battery life is measured in minutes, not hours.

The comment referred to robustness, not endurance.
> Apple's hardware and build quality in superior then virtually anything else on the market, even at the same price point.

I don't see how it's superior. For that money you can buy Dell XPS or Thinkpad of same quality or better.

> but it falls short on every other metric

So far I didn't see any evidence of that. That may be true in 2011-2012 where not many laptops had hires screens with decent matrices, but definitely not relevant today.
Can you point me to a study showing the effectiveness of not touching one's face?
Been there, done that, I was lucky and didn't have to sell the t-shirt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convertibility_plan <span style="voice:Mingo">One Peso, One Dollar"</span>
Germany banned a whole party a while back. They're doing great, now.
They had to pick the most click-baity and disagreement-enticing quote of the article for the headline, hadn't they?
Sorry, lost you. What was the same reason?
Hello author, hope you don't mind the negative comments since this isn't for everyone including myself. I found your dedication to organization very impressive and only shows that you'd do the same professionally.
Only works if people understand there's no incentive...

Which they won't, cause math is so hard...
California is a "two party" state for audio/video recordings. He could get in trouble for posting these recordings made without the consent of all parties. And the records would not be admissible in court if he did get sued.
Oooh, Scoble is on HN. Welcome Scoble!

Is it just me or have the major bloggers taken an interest in HN recently? I noticed that Dave Winer started engaging about two months ago and now Scoble. Did something major happen to prompt this or is it just a general response to the increasing levels of traffic that we send to the various blogs?
Twinkles were abundant today near my facial area.
What if the behavior of the TSA worker is reprehensible? The fact that they are working hard to make a paycheck wouldn't excuse their actions. And yes, I would make anybody who engaged in activity that I thought was morally unacceptable clear that I thought they should be ashamed of their current occupation.

Ironically, I have zero problem with strict security checks at the airport, so I'm completely polite to the TSA. But I understand, intellectually, how others could be offended at their activity.
we are in a similar situation and there is another approach I'd like to research. In order to have a distributed properties I was considering using something like consul[1] or etcd[2] which have some control access and load the required variables from upstart scripts

What is Godel's argument that proves Jesus was born to a virgin and came back to life?
The permissions on our chef repository are different. We can give access to the main code repository without giving access to the chef repository.

Alternatively, if you're running on AWS you could also fetch the secrets config file from an S3 bucket which is only accessible by your production servers.
Not sure if this is relevant but Moodle (open source course management software) has a job board for Moodle related stuff. Its mostly in person jobs but there are some remote gigs. https://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=54&mode=list&perpage=...
Check out https://youtu.be/xKRndVoo2ms, it explains how monads can refactor messy things like call chaining if you're building SQL-like result interfaces.
