I think that was the idea of Scala — to provide all of the modern language features in one language so that you don't have to decide between, say, Java libraries or higher-kinded types or actors. You get them all, you can mix and match. This is powerful because it gives a good basis to test any new feature on a substrate that already has all the existing ones.

I think this lack of an arbitrary feature boundary makes it a useful research language. However, for the same reason, I imagine it's not so good in production — it's like Perl with "more than one way to do it," but now you need a PhD [1] to understand several of the myriad ways of doing things.

[1] You don't need a PhD, but I'm guessing only a very small proportion of working programmers know what, e.g. a higher-kinded type is.
As a lawyer who depends on network building, especially a during no-contact world, LinkedIn is critical to me to stay up to speed, increase interaction with clients/colleagues, source new hires, etc.
i would also want to burn linkedin to the ground, but i found pretty much most of my jobs through it so not sure how i would do otherwise
> My concern is that neither political party seems all that interested in ending the wars.

Meanwhile less and less of their constituents are interested in continuing them. Even the former aggressive jingoists seem to have lost interest in the never ending situation in the Middle East.
You are giving too much Credit to Beats. They are simply Crap.

Dyson on the other hand ranges from poor like the Air Purifier to Decent with their Vacuum and Hair Dryer.
feralimal implies that people wearing masks aren't thinking for themselves, when the reality is that masks are in everyone's collective self-interest and the vast majority of people understand this. Widespread mask-wearing is highly correlated with reduced spread of airborne contagion, coronavirus included.
> Samsung can easily find other cities to produce in at lower cost outside America.

No they can't. Austin and the surrounding area are key silicon fabrication regions. There are very few places in the world that can compete, and it is possible that they are forced to produce within the USA due to import/export restrictions on what they are manufacturing.

This is a situation where the decision is already made, but it can't hurt to ask for tax break. Because hey, free money.

Kind of like how Amazon "passed" on building out an NYC headquarters because the city wouldn't give them tax breaks (after locals protested), only to come back six months later and begin construction of their NYC HQ.
I don't believe I've ever had a keyboard with Home/End keys. What do they do on OS X/Linux?
Are there smartphones where all data - except some write-once installed programs - is stored encrypted, with a complex enough key to not be easily breakable by the authorities, on one hand, but being reasonably usable by you, on the other hand?

As an activist who's actively engaged in defending for our civil liberties, I see HN as a great forum. True, there are plenty of people who share your and edw519's attitude -- but civil liberties topics always got a lot of upvotes here, so there are a lot of people who see things the way I do.
Eye color is nothing. Can you remember faces and names?

I struggle to remember names of faces of people. I have very poor memory for names, faces, and all that sort of thing. I don't remember the names of movies, celebrities or any of that sort of thing. I remember by people by their intellectual thoughts (I.E. the person who though X, or the person with spoke with this sort of vocabulary).

Am I a mathematician? Not really. I gave up on mathematics after I got addicted to the 3x+1 problem.
Thats not a service business as this article is talking about. We are talking about services that cost $1000 a day and dont scale without good people. $200x30=$6000 a month is not enough to run a really profitable service business either.
It would be nice if it controlled for various factors like income, and gave it in a more parsimonious form. For example, it claims that while 54% of PC people have completed a college degree, 67% of Mac people have. But perhaps the linkage is through income.

Additionally, as someone else mentioned, the "% more likely" isn't really a great measure. Also, what about the significance levels, not to mention the level of bias in the sampling?

I know this is just sort of for fun, but if we're expected to make any use of this data, then it needs to be more rigorous (especially the bias).

I've been doing the same, but on a very small scale. Mostly sending a funny episode of some show to a group of friends or occasionally sending a movie to my folks. I don't doubt that if I was mass distributing these files it would attract attention.

Also, wouldn't breaking the hash nullify one of the ostensible advantages of this method (the de-dupe of the stored files)? If the goal is solving global file distribution, making each copy of every originally-identical file unique - and therefore requiring n times the storage - isn't a viable solution.
It seems like it was only a matter of time before Amazon released a product like this. With so much leverage over major cloud storage (they do, after all, run S3), it seems silly that so many other companies have launched profitable products on their storage platform.

I think that the $59.99/year is borderline expensive for "unlimited storage," but $12/year for unlimited photos? I've been using Google Drive for that until now, and I think I'm going to switch over fairly immediately. That's a crazy good deal, especially for high-resolution photo storage.

You're a long way from showing women are leaving/not entering software because of sexism.

So what?

I stopped reading there. You're an idiot and I'm not going to wasted any more time on you.
Haha, that is a good point. The format may have been confusing, but any questions not numbered were more personal questions to think over. (Not that it is necessarily any more useful.)

As I see it, most of these questions are not so much about what you get in the answer but how you get the answer: the metadata you might get at. I also like being direct. It shows confidence and interest. But definitely, I may be letting my naivety get the best of me here.
Very similar to https://code4startup.com/ but for a slightly different purpose.
I'm currently attending college and it is frustrating to watch grad students who know nothing get hired over some one who is technically skilled. It's baffling to say the least.

I learned a ton in school and have applied concepts and took ideas and expanded upon them. Now I'm not just hacking away at a piece of ice, now I understand everything I'm doing and why one way is faster than another
>They are all, of course, almost bombastically fervent about a strong military, and support the wars.

You know, this is so entirely wrong that it discredits the whole paragraph. You clearly know nothing about the Tea Party movement, or even that it was started in support of Ron Paul, the most anti-war politician there is.

>I mean, if we continually capitulate to those parties and politicians who support anti-democracy, anti-freedom ideas and laws, why wouldn't there be substance to the argument?

Who's capitulating? There are more democracies in the world today than ever before. Ever.
this is mostly speculation, but my guess based on experience is that most places only allow opentable to book one or two tables per time slot. i've been rejected several times by a few places and instead walked in to a not particularly crowded place.
i've been working on an extended digital version of hackermonthly that i should mention here for all you HM subscribers.

it's a 100% digital interactive magazine (click through it!) that on a daily basis takes the 30 "most interesting" posts from hackernews and puts them all on a single "front page".

as a bonus i've included not just a few dozen comments but HUNDREDS of comments (for your reading pleasure). the "front page" subscription service costs only $.99 a month and gives you a daily "front page" in a digital, interactive, and browser-friendly format (ipad & kindle too!). i've also put together a "more page" subscription service that gives you access to not just the top 30 stories but ALL STORIES -- in 30 page increments.

if you act now, each additional 30-story "More" page can be accessed for the ridiculously low price of $.25/page.

but that's not all. if you're a student and respond to this post in the next 30 minutes, you'll get daily access to not just the "front page", not just a "more" page, but EVERY PAGE in the entire hackernoobs archive for just $1.99/month.

limited supply, so hurry! act now!
Interesting idea. It still requires fairly sophisticated software, but at least takes out the need for lots of camera work.
Why? They paid their price for the ticket.
Super fascinating, any recommendations on where I can do further reading on this?
Mind sharing those patches?
Eh, I don't think that's what was actually going on for most of the 20th century. Journalist was not a prestigious job, it was in fact done by working class people. I think. It's instead a new thing that journalism is dominated by "elites".

"How journalism became a middle class profession for university graduates": https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2009/jul/21/new...

"The death of the working class reporter": https://blog.usejournal.com/the-death-of-the-working-class-r...

The original claim I was challenging was "journalists in particular no longer find themselves in the upper middle class" -- I don't think they ever were, it's possible that MORE of them are now than previous -- as you say, even as salaries drop.
So, how this is considered to be corruption if money are moved to somewhere? Isn't it what every government is doing, including various US funds helping all kinds of crooks abroad?
slatestarcodex has a good article discussing this problem which they have labeled the 'chinese robber fallacy'. https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/09/16/cardiologists-and-chin...
I think this is the direction things are heading. Currently, I use yaml for tons of configs and the like because it's super easy to modify. I use jq to process because jq is the bee's knees. There is a yq out there which can read most config formats, but it doesn't support the full jq syntax, so instead I pipe everything through `yq read -j -` to convert to json and then `| jq 'query'`. works a treat.

I can see with a few more small parts an application which persists as bson, streams / tempfile / and/or mmaps to yaml/hcl/whatever you like, opens that in your editor of choice, and translates back to bson.

> It looks like a helpful tool for situations where the standard colormaps in matplotlib/pyplot don't work well. Is that an appropriate use case?

Yes, that's definitely the type of use-case I had in mind. Another big one: Choropleth maps.

> I also like seeing nbviewer used for documentation, I haven't seen that very often.

Glad to hear it! It's my first attempt at writing documentation in an IPython notebook. Seemed like a good fit for something so visual.
I'm surprised to see nothing about formatting dates, which in my experience is the worst interop issue with JSON. I'm glad people are working on this though---thank you!
The frequency isn't configurable. We execute the ingest daily for a 24 hour window that's IIRC 4 hours old. This works fine for us in practice.
It helps if you think of WIP internally always as "work in progress"

In a way we are so lucky that we have recording technologies now for both video and audio and literally 100's of hours of people like him to enjoy. Imagine what it would have been like to visit a concert where JS Bach was playing. Back then no amplification and really only the lucky few that got to see this up close. The very best your average person could do would be to go to church for some half decent music.
If it's an online game you cheating ruins the experience for other people who have their own rights and interests in a purchase they made. I still don't think it justifies a rootkit but it should be made clear that the impact of cheaters is often to the detriment of thousands of other people.
I agree with you that the defaults are annoying. With the latest Firefox on Android they simplified almost everything, but the address bar still has a staggering 9 options in settings! Personally I turned off all options except autocomplete urls, search history and search bookmarks. Now it works like I expect, again.

"Both iOS and Android" misses a whole decade of mobile computing, though! Before the iPhone was even announced, Symbian had already shipped 100 million smartphones.

For an in-depth look into how the original smartphone OS came about, I can recommend David Wood's Smartphones and beyond: Lessons from the remarkable rise and fall of Symbian:

http://www.amazon.com/Smartphones-beyond-Lessons-remarkable-...

David Wood was an R&D executive at Symbian. He's brutally honest about the company's failings... But he also paints a fascinating picture of how the vision for smartphones evolved in the late '90s, when nobody had a clear idea of what the form factor could be and what actual people might want to do with the devices.

(There's a widespread belief that Symbian wasn't a real smartphone OS... Yet it supported 3rd party apps, multitasking and background services, 3G data, touch and keypad UIs, had a mobile WebKit browser before anyone else, GPU-accelerated OpenGL in 2005, and so on. In many ways Android owes a lot to Symbian, IMO -- for example the Activity lifecycle is fairly similar to the base concepts in Symbian.)
This is cool. Realtime? Awesome.

Some thoughts:

* As others have mentioned, it's too easy to single-click accidentally and create a note.

* Pasting a URL to an image isn't discoverable. An explicit button for this on the toolbar, or one that appears when a new note is created, would be better.

* That aside, I really, really want to be able to just drag and drop images from my computer onto the page.

* As others have noted I wish I could zoom out to see more notes. The "map" is a good start but I think it should be fully zoomable.

* Chat is cool but it sort of takes you out of the experience. Try experimenting with integrating the chat into the corkboard metaphor, maybe: Instead of a pop-up in the lower-left corner, let me create post-its that are actually live chat rooms.

Anyway, this is a great start. I hope you keep improving it!
This is one of the reasons its a shame you need to buy a console to play exclusive titles. I was going to buy a ps3, but am hesitant now. A security breach like this is really unacceptable from anyone, under any circumstance. I'll need to be careful about disclosing any of my data if I do get a ps3.
Do they have another option? If no site had survived the outage, then they may have been on to something. But with some sites surviving the outage, they just have no excuse.

Sure you can blame AWS because they said multiple availability zones in the same region would work. But at the same time there is an expectation that a site like Heroku is knowledgeable enough and sophisticated enough to intelligently process what AWS says and determine what's appropriate for them.
If you care enough about information then sony being compromised shouldn't be a threat to you. How come no one is talking about Anonymous' role in this? Unless you are a Sony exec you shouldn't be too concerned about anything but finding another device to watch netflix on.
Java is the best example of a not-so-great pudding being pulled along for over a decade (till it became better) just because of a large budget.
I am in a similar boat, trying to hone in on a topic for an independent research project.

At the moment I am considering researching which industries might be disrupted by crowdsourcing similar to how stock photography and language translation have.

If you go down the distributed human computation route, let me know as we may have some areas to compare research findings.
Things are cheaper in bulk right?
We care a lot more about the founders than the idea, but the idea still matters somewhat. And as we get further along, the differences between groups get smaller, so variation between ideas tends to account for more of the variation between groups. By the time we get to interviews we've narrowed the pool more than 10x, so we're basically choosing between good people with good ideas and good people with bad ideas.
As a Russian I am very happy to see what Serge is doing. However, knowing Russia from inside I presume that "building a startup in Russia" in fact means "having an R&D office" not "registering as a Russian firm and planning to grow a to a big corporation". It is not impossible but you have to have some kind of gut and connections to navigate corrupted government on all levels expecting you to bribe your way through, racketeering (attempts) by organized crime, and shady tax practices. For example, in Russia it is quite common to pay part of the salary bypassing the books (so called "gray salary") and as such you are at competitive disadvantage if you want to pay market salary _and_ pay proper payroll taxes.
I think the reaction was appropriate. It confirms the major points that people were upset about: 1) that the data is stored unencrypted, 2) that it lives even after you turn off location services, 3) that it was taken without explicit permission.

This press release doesn't change any of those points, it merely places the blame on bugs (which wouldn't have been patched had the story not been uncovered).

Isn't this comparable to the Google/Buzz fiasco, which was met with similar (deserved) scorn?

Again, they'd know the future tech path forward better than we, but I'd see a "cockroach" that went from basic agriculture to nuclear weapons and launching rockets into space within 100 years.

We've had the tech to be a significant solar system race for 60 years now. If the military budget were allocated to space development we'd have a full fledged space civilization and manufacturing base by now.
Well, I never had any sort of price switch played on me. I don't blame you - was it a scam or a true error - we will never know.

I think the Author has a very weird take on what shorting a company means. They equate shorting a company with moral position on wanting the company to succeed. A company can correct and go on to be successful. Similarly, you can recognize that a P/E > 1,000 is insane and still want a company or industry to succeed.

"I understand if you believe that the company is overvalued and you want to make money on a correction, but I feel that betting against Tesla’s stock is also betting against accelerating the electric transition. Tesla has used its high valuation to raise money and accelerate its mission. I wouldn’t want to bet against that"

To me this is important to know how to get younger people interested in programming. The application approach seems better than the "cool, trendy online class" approach.

Not just the Luftwaffe, either, and not just speed. Tablets formulated with both methamphetamine ("Pervitin") and, later, cocaine, were issued throughout the Wehrmacht. [1] Some branches also had speed-laced chocolate bars, Fliegerschokolade and Panzerschokolade for pilots and tankers respectively. [2] They also broadly issued opioids - including oxycodone ("Eukodol")! - and drunkenness was likewise extremely widespread, at varying times both with and without official sanction and material support (i.e. liquor rations).
