The YouTube series “HTTP 203” has a couple of great episodes on WebAssembly. Here’s one I like as it is both accessible and in depth: https://youtu.be/S0NQwttnr1I
The Teams iOS app does audio hand-off really well in my experience. Have you tried that?
Yeah dude, I think so too. Some of the ideas I liked though we're about prescription, and then him saying it's all about destination. And trying to look beyond words and towards an understanding.

And I agree, most of it can be summarised as "life is a complex system. You can't marry any kind of ideology if you want to achieve any goal, but instead keep listening to feedback and tune accordingly"
Is it not? The US doesn't require minimum turnout for elections, so not voting just amplifies the power of the people who actually vote. It is in effect a tacit endorsement, unless you're trying to effect legal or regime change in addition to not voting.

As far as "my vote doesn't matter", this is quite silly considering how the last two elections featured electoral votes won by ever thinner margins, and that even at the presidential level with the highest turnout most people don't vote, to say nothing of state local elections, primaries, etc. https://i.redd.it/p0z5srsw7py51.png
enclosing it in double-dollar signs (ie. $$...$$) also works.
This is probably the smoothest html5 platformer I've played. Kudos.
One possible way to mitigate this problem is a Pigouvian tax on signalling (perhaps compensated for by a reduction in income tax).

Signalling is a lot like standing up at a baseball game. It gives you a great view, at the cost of having your legs get tired. Once everyone else starts doing it, your view is no better than before, and everyone is a little more tired than before. But no one can sit down, because they don't get to see the game.

A tax on signalling might reduce the benefits and thereby reduce the amount of resources wasted. Additionally, the people who don't engage in signalling would enjoy reduced taxes.

To begin, I'd propose an education tax, since education seems to be our nation's most expensive form of signalling. You want an education? Fine, but be prepared to pay an extra $5-10k/college year to compensate the people who don't get a job as a result of the degree inflation you cause.

(Obviously, ending subsidies for higher education would also be a good start.)
anyone completed the entire game so far? I made 5 levels, planning to have more by next weekend
The author was lucky that he received a bad sample. Generally how this goes is that they'll provide an great sample, wait for the large followup order, then ship you garbage. Many firms don't have the stomach to continue after their first batch of defective goods arrive.
And how exactly would you exchange bitcoin for dollars? Presumably, you'd have to go through a bank, or PayPal, or a regulated brokerage house of some kind. To keep bitcoin from taking off, all the US government would have to do is pass a law or put pressure on the financial industry to not allow that exchange.
Currency Diversification. The point being that at the end of each day/week/month you can cash it out for dollars/euro/yen.

That's the idea anyway. I'm not sure how practical it is!
> For me it just means I might not get along with the person since they do not think RMS being in the board is an issue for FSF.

This is where you and I diverge. I have worked with a lot of people that I think have had bad opinions. People that were leftists and people that were conservative. While I kept in my mind that this person had bad opinions I was usually able to get a beer with them, it didn't mean we'd be fast friends though. Would I draw a line? Probably, notice I left out far-right; because I'm probably not getting a beer with a racist or someone who believes in ethnostates.

I will get a beer with someone who is a devout socialist or communist whose ideals will inevitably end in a lot of bloodshed when property is ultimately seized. I'll still get a beer with someone who has a nuanced opinion on pronouns. Just because I disagree with them does not guarantee me alienating them, because I might be the opinion they need to hear for their views to be swayed, or more practically their opinions in isolation can only become worse.

What bothers me is this idea of enforcing camped friend-groups or work circles. From everything I've learned about Russia, this is exactly what they want you to be believing. Their attacks on US democracy weren't just trying to embarrass the right by giving their extremists power and influence; they were far more foundational. They invested in promoting discourse on the far right and the far left that made discourse seem impossible to a nation that by its own distinction was very friendly to a wide range of views. They attacked the very foundation of American culture.

If anything, it was designed to enhance consumerism.
Corporations put a lot of effort into avoiding leaks of their source code. Compared to the amount of AAA game projects, actual leaks happen rarely.

I can see "competitors" smelling value in buying source code of a project that generated a lot of profit.

I agree with you that the actual value is not that high, but I can nonetheless imagine people willing to pay a lot for it.
Same for me only it was mid to late 90's and I was interested in understanding MUD code.

I'm sorry, but I believe this kind of fearmongering and hidden xenophobia is not welcome on Hacker News.
That's why i said 'perfect' (for gamestop)

The two-sided market structure makes it almost impossible for a new entrant in that area. Steam remarkably has good feelings from both gamers and developers and the current ownership structure helps keep it that way: not squeezing the last penny and not being inclined to throw Steam under the bus to chase the new shiny.
What's the anti-case against each country launching it's own version of Bitcoin/Altcoin? What's the bull case for bitcoin beyond the fact that it has been the first successful crypto? Genuinely curious.
It's extremely refreshing to see your perspective on hacker news; I encourage you to continue posting. The free-market-fetishism around here is becoming nauseating.
No, that was hardly harsh. Guy claims a hero is the fixer for all ills, I point you at a quack site. Can't handle that and gets all insulting? Okay. How about 'there are many doctors on the internet who claim to be the answer to every illness. The odds that your one guy has somehow out-thought every other smart doctor to find time to fix the most intractable health issues at the rate of (10 000 / career time) is hard to believe. That he might be the one person who knows about exactly what the OP has as a condition, has a likelihood that is vanishingly small.'

I reckon the issues of health are harder than programming. No programmer knows everything, and those who claim to should be ignored. Therefore, any doctor claiming to have all the answers should at the very least be treated with huge suspicion.

Add in massive self-promotion and every alarm bell goes off. The guy may have some great stuff, but being presented as the sole Doctor for the New Millenium is going to get you attacked, and far more harshly than I have.
That's the very definition of a C string - if it isn't \0 terminated, it's not a string. See section 4.1.1. of http://flash-gordon.me.uk/ansi.c.txt.

I wonder why it wants to use the facebook - analogy of (dis)Like on the facebook founder itself. If it wants to downrate the article, why didn't it use some other means to do it ? The image itself shows the impact of facebook.
For instance, logic, math and probability can describe what free will is, but cannot predict the choices made by a free will.

On a grander scheme, how can math describe things like love, goodness and beauty?
I didn't get the impression he was saying that. Quote:

"The truth is that in most embedded/real-time/kernel work, we almost never see actual recursion. When there are strict bounds on stack sizes, recursive algorithms can be downright dangerous, especially when operating on user-supplied data."
Funny, about 13 years ago, someone told me about this exact problem / solution. His professor said that it was impossible to solve the problem without recursion. He solved it with the exact solution given, and basically got an A in his class for it (a bet with the professor).

Oh well. moving on.
> Who said anything about jQuery or Backbone?

Well, if you're not using jQuery or Backbone at the very least to build SPA's, then that just adds weight to my argument.

> About the complexity part, I am referring to the number of concepts one must be familiar with in order to produce a working Angular app. I mean read TFA: part of it breaks down the three varieties of directives you need to know in order to do a thing.

I agree wholeheartedly that Angular has far too many bizarrely named concepts (transclusion being the worst offender), but if you don't put pressure on yourself to learn a framework inside-out in order to use it then you can save yourself a lot of initial pain. Simply using Angular's templating and two-way binding system and nothing more (no directives, services, etc) saves you from having to write an incredible amount of boilerplate DOM manipulation code. As you start to learn more about the different features Angular offers you will agree that most of them were necessary evolutions of the framework. Because it evolved over time, it has become a bit bloated as frameworks often do so the rewrite should be a welcome change.

> whenever you need to output a URL to the view, you get to go hunting for the docs for $sce and figure out your exact use case just so you can spit out the damn URL.

This is a built in security measure that you can easily override by providing a blacklist of URLs. Unless you're keen on coming up with your own sanitization logic, $sce is a very nice feature.
Stop invading and funding overseas? Double the savings!
Why assume they don't understand instead of assuming they do, and chose to use something more simple? Especially when simplicity is an explicit goal of the language.
Actually, an easy way to get your privileges after they were declined is to open the URL "app-settings:". In iOS 8, the settings page for any app includes easy access to the permissions, including at least location, photos, notifications, microphone, background refresh, and cellular data.

Quite a bit simpler, and takes the user right to it. Of course, you still have to initiate the action, but again this can be done at a relevant place in the app.
What revolution in games do you have in mind? Is there any particular video game that is making really interesting use of ML?
In that case any anti propaganda regulation is censorship.

We can't just reduce things down to being either censorship or free speech. Real life is messier than that.
So you're stating that AIDS was never an epidemic? Right. And that's based on your opinion I guess? Well there's actual facts too:

"In late 1983, the global presence of the mysterious virus motivated European authorities and the WHO to classify the growing number of diagnoses as an epidemic. In addition to the outbreak in the U.S., patients with similar symptoms were documented in 15 European countries, 7 Latin American countries, Canada, Zaire, Haiti, Australia and Japan. Of particular concern was an outbreak in central Africa among heterosexual patients."[1]

You can order Aeroeggs today, but they are not edible and do not autonomously ship themselves to you by air.

http://www.buyaerogel.com/product/aeroeggs/

>Aeroeggs from Aerogelex are unique aerogels made from hard-boiled eggs. While many people think of space-age blue holographic solids made of silica when they hear the word aerogel, aerogels can actually be made from a wide variety of substances including biopolymers such as those found in eggs. Aeroeggs are made through supercritical drying, the same process used to make other aerogels, just using boiled eggs instead of silica or polymer gel precursors. Boiling an egg causes the proteins in the egg to denature and link together to form a gel matrix that contains water in its pores. Once the inside of the egg has congealed, the shell is removed and the boiled egg inside is soaked in ethanol to replace the water in its pores with a non-polar solvent that is compatible with supercritical drying. After soaking the egg is put in a high-pressure vessel and the ethanol in its pores is extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide to make an egg aerogel.

>Aeroeggs are made from ordinary chicken eggs but are about half the size of a typical hard boiled egg due to contraction of the egg protein network when the water in the egg is replaced with ethanol and carbon dioxide. Density is approximately 0.6 g/cc making Aeroeggs approximately 50% air by volume. Aeroeggs absorb 3x their weight in water to irreversibly rehydrate back into regular hard boiled eggs.
> I think there's a lot of interesting work to be done linking programmatic and graphical CAD.

I thought about this as well, but I don't know anyone who works with CAD who would likely switch their work flow from GUI to text-based, other than people in this thread, I suppose.

Furthermore, while I don't know about the details on how to implement a text-based 3D modelling language for constraint based modelling, I don't think there's a lot of point if a GUI is going to be attached to it anyway. Existing systems already do a reasonable job.

One of the most annoying part of the confused constraint system, for me, is that it is difficult to fix the constraints. Options are likely to be hidden behind layers and layers of menus and dialog. A text file can be easily searched and diffed, which in my mind should make a confused system easier to resolve. So maybe this kind of constraint based CAD should have both a language and a revision control system built into it, or something.
I wonder if you could achieve something vaguely approaching reality with vr and limb tracking, and some weird "soccer ball on a string" gizmo tied into the simulation.

Soccer seems like it's on the other corner of the "implementation difficulty" matrix from racing.

It's pretty easy to hook up a ffb steering wheel and pedals to a computer, actually simulating the cars and track is the hard bit.

In soccer the actual simulation would be pretty simple - it's an elastic sphere bouncing around a fairly uniform surface and being hit by mostly solid body parts/boots without too many interacting parts. But putting the user into the world in a way that they get the necessary physical feedback is much harder.
QEMU exists and so do others, and has for many years, so I think x86 software emulation might turn out to be fair game.

In fact, out of Intel and ARM, ARM is the only one I know that tried to shut down software emulation...

(ARM blocked parts of QEMU from being published for a while, citing "you must have read the manual to implement this therefore you are bound by the terms of the manual". They also had an open source design removed from OpenCores.)

It would not be completely silly to modify QEMU with x86 guest and modified-ARM target (for implicit-barrier mode), and then just use QEMU for the emulation.

As long as implicit-barrier mode was generic enough I think Intel would have an interesting time claiming it infringed some patent of theirs. Making it efficient would remain Apple's problem but they are good at that. (Or were until the CPU designers left to start Nuvia.)

If Intel won that, implicit-barrier would have to be explicit-barrier which is just normal ARM, but there is no fundamental reason why that cannot be fast, if the processor is designed to expect a lot of barriers and optimised accordingly. Especially if a dense instruction encoding is created for it.

(Everything I just said applies to RISC-V as well as ARM, should Apple decide to change course again.)
I think they mean over the next few years. This virus is in every city in the world, we can't contain it everywhere. Eventually its just another endemic disease, but one we can vaccinate for and treat at a steady rate.
Literally "just the flu bro"
Regarding running the engine on iOS: Technically they do that now with their Wolfram Player App on the iOS. The calculations are done on the iPad and not sent to a server like the Wolfram Cloud app.
If sites don't track me, I disable my ad blocker. YouTube does, so it stays on the block list. I watch YouTube without being logged in, but I'd be willing to pay if they can prove they don't track me.

> Most of her work appears to be "feminist literature"

That reads to me like a post-facto characterization based on perspective rooted in today's political climate. Personally, I find her books to be somewhat overrated compared to other works of "genre fiction", but having read some of her books, the "feminist" characterization as you are presenting is misleading.

"I just a reply from them"

What did they say?
"The payoff for a little more than a year of work, in this case, was too much to pass up."

They worked on this for over a year?
None of that requires spending a lot of money.
Well, if you must bring technology into it, I snap a picture and upload it into evernote when I'm done. Then it's in the cloud and tagable too. But I really enjoy creating the paper version.
A video starts playing the moment you navigate to that page. Note to OP: please add a play button to your video. The video should start only if the user has specifically requested it. It took me a minute to hunt down the tab that was the source of noise in my otherwise quiet work environment and, once I found it, I killed the tab without even glancing at the page title.
Great. Thanks for the tips
Awesome, that's very helpful. Thanks, David. Can you give me a sense of how much you're profiting?
Alternative question: how does tumblr get the attention of the teens, when blogspot or other blogging services don't?
That sounds great to me, but I'm inclined to take pronouncements of this sort with a grain of salt. It was only a couple months ago, after all, that some industry watchers proclaimed that the new Apple TV with AirPlay was a trojan horse that would conquer every American living room and topple the cable TV industry.

But here's the thing: When Apple releases something that they think is significant, they say so.
God I hope people don't start using "n/" and other silly twitterisms in their normal writing.
If I remember correctly, Feynman quickly suggested to Wheeler that this is probably wrong, as it would imply that there are as many positrons as electrons. At least in our little piece of the universe, this is definitely not the case.
Sure. That does, in fact, optimize well!

In the big Steve Jobs/Bill Gates interview a couple years back, I recall Steve saying that Apple is a software company and that the computer is the pretty box it comes in. Although they might require their own hardware, the hardware isn't all that different (from a functionality standpoint) from the hardware that other manufacturers were putting out.

So I'm inclined to agree with Steve. Apple is a software company. The hardware is just a pretty box.
I think it is desirable too. European version of Hacker News would be extremely useful for me - sure, there's lots of region-agnostic valuable content, but also many topics considering startups are irrelevant to people in my area (Central Europe) - for example 'whos hiring?' threads consist mostly of offers in US (and of course offers from Europe would be much more useful for european hackers)
Mine, from around 1988, looks similar: http://www.tzs.net/small.html

I didn't do lower case, though. I created this as a debugging aid when I was writing SCSI drivers for a third-party Mac drive vendor. I wanted a debug printf, but since the disk drivers run before the OS runs, the OS facilities aren't available. I made a debug printf that printed, using my tiny font, directly to screen memory. Each character is 3x5, so that with one pixel spacing you can fit a horizontal slice of two characters in a byte, so I didn't need to write a general bitblt routine.

On modern displays it is hard to read because the dots are so small. On a Mac Plus built-in display, or a Mac II with a 640x480 or 1024x768 monitor it was quite legible.
In the lab, they are making good progress with "mind controled" cursors.

If you can control the mouse cursor with your mind... what is the better solution to copy/cut/paste, a keyboard?

Given how long lawsuits can take, by the time a conclusion is reached, mind controled mouses will be there I guess. :)
