Web apps are definitely the place to start looking for solutions, since they always have resizing forced on them. But very few web apps can handle a lot of resizing (particularly down to phone resolutions) without ending up looking like they're obviously the wrong size. This shouldn't be too much of a problem for apps designed to start at WVGA or smaller, but like most things Web-related, it still completely ignores the touch aspects.

Profit-maximizing firms are gender-blind. The fact that Google wouldn't hire anymore men until they hired a women is a huge problem and does the opposite of helping the "more girl geeks" cause.
Hehe, on odd occasions the departure time from my provider comes back as the unix epoch (Jan 1st 1970) so I suspect that's what you saw.

Can you remember the flight number so I can investigate further?

I've thought about the alerts idea (text,email,call) but I'm not confident the data is good enough for that yet, I'd hate to give people the wrong information!
Criticism is welcome, no worries!

The search bar is meant to give the feel of the old style departure boards with the mechanical displays - perhaps it's an analogy too far with the results also presented that way.

I'll look into why AA5066 didn't work, it should have. Thanks for the heads up!

I think flightcaster.com is doing something different really - flightlite.com is all about what's in the air at the moment, more a way to track the progress of a visiting friend or just take a peek at a flight you might be taking in the future (seeing what you'd be passing over etc). Maybe there aren't really enough people interested in that - who knows!
To be fair, this happened a bunch with more traditional stock brokers in 2020. Most notably was Robinhood (definitely not a traditional broker), which seemed to go down every few days at the beginning of the pandemic.

Comically, it was obvious how many trading bots were not made to support a circuit breaker because the spread between the bid/ask exploded for an hour or two after the first breaker was triggered.
CSS-only solutions for interactions are usually awful for accessibility.
There are enough unique filters that a spammer cannot hope to account for them all in a timely manner. Getting .001% of spam emails past Gmail's filters is much more efficient than getting 100% of emails past my personal Thunderbird spam filter.

That's a valid argument for not using Gmail, but that in the case of Youtube, almost everyone wants a single place where they can watch all the user-generated videos.
Glad to hear it. Feel free to email or post any more thoughts. Good critique is always valuable.

It will work with embedded videos very soon. We're tracking down some errors in a JS DOM parsing library that the web app uses.
You are not alone in your dissatisfaction. May I recommend using http://www.Jinni.com, the taste and mood basaed personalized recommendation service? The recommendations are amazing, you can connect it to your netflix account for discovery over the netflix catalog and your reccs won't be influenced by other household users (*Disclaimer - I work for Jinni.com, but seriously it's awesome!) Let me know what you think!
You mentioned the service on Twitter and I signed up immediately and added my Twitter account. Within 2 hours of signing up I had used the service no less than 3 times to dig up links I wanted to share with other people. So damn useful.
Have you spent much time on the Head-Fi forums? People get banned all the time for advertising things who aren't at all related to any sort of feud with forum sponsors.

nwavguy was specifically told to stop advertising in the manner he was, and he didn't. Plenty of other people have gotten the same PM from jude.
And what exactly does the credibility of her reporting the conditions have to do with the conditions themselves?

In my opinion, zero. Facts are facts, and it's not exactly new that prisons in the US tend to be shitholes.
It also probably won't work unless you can figure out how to get a similar antenna on the other end.
When you get a gift card from Coinstar, you are not charged the 10%. So when I'm feeling lazy with a bunch of change, I just dump it in the Coinstar machine for a Amazon gift card
It's the other way around, it gets ignored because it is consciously designed and maintained to serve a very particular niche: high performance extension language. I wouldn't consider Lua a fantastic language anywhere else.

> aren't consistent

Those idea's aren't opposing and aren't the brunt of my point.

"Free Education" causes an increase in cost? Self evident. No market feedback and an increase in demand? Massive cost increased. And removing the "free education" (not really free) results in increased funding (more money from individuals than from a single government program) doesn't negate the first point. So your "they aren't consistent" example doesn't in any way shape or form contain two opposing points - they are actually complementary points. Government control of markets make them more expensive and opening markets leads to more money in the market? complementary ideas that feed each other.

And, as I said, those are tangential points to my main idea: "Free education" isn't free and the thought that it doesn't come with it's own shortfalls, issues and complications is short sighted.

> less sports and focus on jobs

Again, tangential ideas but that's largely because those schools don't have freedom as extensions of Big Government.

I'm okay with less time in sports and more focus on functional educations - but those do come at the cost of freedom on the part of schools AND students and lower capacity, etc.

These ARE complicated topics and your points aren't 100% wrong or pointless... but again - my main point is that free isn't free and for the few bonus's that are lauded ("free"), it's amazing that the shortcomings and limitations somehow get left out of the conversation.
> Google Calendar seems to do everything I need and more; same with Gmail. I don't want new versions of them unless there's a really compelling reason. I sure don't want < 2 month release cycles.

It got there by doing short cycles
Just to explore this idea a little more: insofar as math involves inspiration from the natural world and the logical consequences of axioms, I would consider it a "science" (since these are sort of exploratory and discovered consequences of "facts"). Insofar as it involves redefining axioms, looking at them in a new way, or inventing new idealized objects/methods altogether, I would consider it an art.
This is the fundamental divide on dev and ops environment customizations.
Not unless they had significant debts or tax bills denominated in increasingly worthless Bolivar, or the newly printed Bolivar were being funnelled to them, no.

(Obviously debtors did not continue to be helped either, as businesses and lenders adjusted repayment terms accordingly, including a strong preference for receiving USD in untaxed offshore accounts, or just gave up altogether after incompetent monetary policy had ruined them.)
I'm amazed at the number of people praising Google, which is giving a comparatively small sum to a finished late stage project.

Many core developers have given an equivalent of that sum in free labor and receive no praise. On the contrary, a comment in this very thread accuses them of being "white males".

Secondly, just "giving money to OSS" is meaningless. It depends on how it is used, who pulls the strings in the background and long term effects on the health of the volunteer part (who has done virtually all of the meaningful work in Python).

People cite gcc and the Linux kernel. The situation is quite different. Sponsorship has started early by companies like SuSE, RedHat and Cygnus, who at the time were aligned with the original OSS values.

The means of sponsorship was hiring top developers directly, bypassing foundations and councils. The is pretty different from the bureaucratic process that is being envisioned here.
Good but not that useful..
"... At my previous job I worked with a 2 mln LoC code base for a core banking system. ... Imagine working with a code-base, that's layer upon layer of quick fixes. Imagine being woken up at 3 am to diagnose & resolve an issue with it. ... The company wasn't really affected by heartbleed. ..."

AND

"... OpenSSL code base, counting how much resources are needed to plumb it into shape, how the original maintainers - let's not go there. Let's say 'didn't do a great job'. ..."

Does anyone see the disconnect here?

That's your retort?

For others countries it's not that clear.
"Liberal-libertarian" isn't "leftist," and that's pretty clear from the context of the comment. It's minarchist, free-marketeer, etc.
I was going to mention this too. However, to be fair to the parent commenter, Apple Maps on the web is only a recent development, it lacks a ton of the features of Google Maps on the web, and its world-wide coverage isn’t great. There’s also the fact that there’s no direct web interface for it, so if you were going to tell someone using a browser to “just use Apple Maps”, they would have to jump through some mental hoops to find a way to do that.

All that said, I’m optimistic and hope they move in that direction.

I've bought and sold plenty on ebay using paypal exclusively and can't say my experience is the same. As a buyer, I know that opening a paypal dispute they'll side with me, and as a seller I know in screwed if the buyer does so. Two anecdotes - I bought a phone that was "new" and when it arrived it was locked to a carrier I wasn't on. I tried to get it unlocked officially, but apple or the carrier wouldn't help. Seller said no refunds. Paypal sided with me because they didn't explicitly put it in the correct ebay category.

As a seller, I sold a processor, listed it with 2nd class signed for postage and the buyer asked if I could ship it first class (next day vs 3-5 days). I said sure, paid the difference out of pocket and uploaded the tracking number. 24 hours later I got a paypal dispute saying item not received, that it wasn't sent by the right means. He had signed for it, I had the tracking. No dice, I was out a £200 part.

Paypal so heavily sides with the buyer in every scenario, it's why it's popular!

> though including "exploding popularity" in the explanation of how the sport was killed is a bit odd...

The issue with rallying is that it used to take place in remote locations with little or no crowds. There are no safety barriers to protect the audience. Additionally, the rally audiences got crazed by deadly dangerous activities like standing in front of the cars until the last second or trying to touch the cars when they zoomed past (there's a story that a mechanic once found a severed finger in the side mirrors of a car).

It became impossible for the race organizers to control the crowds and make the race events somewhat safe. That's why "exploding popularity" was an issue.

Group B was terminated after an accident in 1986 Rally Portugal (?) when a Ford RS-20 car flew off the track and into the audience with dozens of fatalities and serious injuries. This was only a few weeks after the fatalities of driver Henri Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto in the Rally of Corsica. Toivonen's last interview concluded with: "these cars are too fast for the human mind, if you lose concentration, you're dead" [paraphrased from Finnish], then he closed the car door, drove off and was never seen again.

This is how crazy it was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYIH7ApCxoM
just checked some prizes out of curiosity for that route and found tickets starting from 400 EUR for 2 adults and two kids (unless you have to travel on the most expensive dates). Make it 600 EUR but it still does not sound like a big difference and you are not factoring in the depreciation and maintenance a car costs for a long trip like that. Financially i don't think it makes a big difference, it's probably about convenience in the end.

You gave that consent when you put your info in Linkedin in the first place, according to their ToS.
A defect like that is definitely a serious issue, and if at all prevalent in the series with the walker trigger, there should be a recall, regardless of cost to Remmington. It looks like they did the correct recall for the later model.

What happene is horrendous, and sadly could have been prevented despite the malfunction.

1. Always keep a firearm pointed in a safe direction.(Never point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot/kill)*

2. Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, and could fire, even after you have unloaded it.

3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

4. Don't let anyone near a gun who doesn't understand and comply with the above rules.

Those were the rules I was taught. some further explanation can and should be provided for each of those, but if you follow them, it protects against almost all accidental discharges, and keeps the intentional ones safer.

* Understanding what a safe direction means is critical.

But would you call VendingMachinesCo because there is a vending machine outside the local supermarket, operated by said supermarket, that spits out cocaine? Pretty sure that whatever you put in there is the machine owner's responsibility, not the manufacturer. GCP does not put content in their VPSes themselves the way that a bank operates an ATM.

I think it's more like the responsibility of an ISP to poke their noses in what they transfer, since it might be illegal content (similar to whether Google should poke their noses into people's VPSes). I'm not sure if we should want to require them to do that.
Is Nest profitable?
I am a very suspicious and wary internet user, hardly sign up for any services, but been using Credit Karma for my taxes and light financial monitoring for the last 3 years. Tax Filing was totally free and I got the tax refunds I was expecting. No issues with them whatsoever. I have never gotten any email or other spam as a result of using their service. I am a happy customer, though technically speaking I have never actually given them any money directly.
Brilliant writing, though— hint that the reason is there without actually filling up the script with made-up gobbledygook. Author Sid Fleishman said that if you had a plot hole in your story, all you had to do was point to it and it would disappear:

----

For example, in McBroom’s Zoo I wanted to use the Hidebehind, a fabled frontier creature. No one knows what the Hidebehind looks like because every time you look, the animal hides behind you.

I saw the hole at once. All McBroom needed to do was to hold up a mirror and he’d see the Hidebehind’s mug. I plugged the hole by pointing to it. Works like magic. “I even tried walking around with a hand mirror.” McBroom declares. “But the Hidebehind was too eternal clever for tricks like that.”
Well, from a utility point of view not to bad. Earlier Defenders could be used as generators for farming machines. And having compressed air isn't the worst thing to have. Doesn't change the fact that it is ugly as f*.
Oops, I missed your point.

I still think your summary is not what people are fighting as the threshold issue, but, I agree with your last sentence.
You can also use:

elevators.forEach(function(elevator, elevatorNumber) {...});

This will provide each elevator with its index in the elevators array.
Agreed. You will only drive yourself crazy trying to change culture. Just leave.
> - Waiting for Cross-Platform standardized SIMD vector datatypes

which language has standardized SIMD vector datatypes ? most languages don't even have any ability to express SIMD while in C++ I can just use Vc (https://github.com/VcDevel/Vc), nsimd (https://github.com/agenium-scale/nsimd) or one of the other ton of alternatives, and have stuff that JustWorksTM on more architectures than most languages even support

- Using nonstandard extensions, libraries or home-baked solutions to run computations in parallel on many cores or on different processors than the CPU

what are the other native languages with a standardized memory model for atomics ? and, what's the problem with using libraries ? it's not like you're going to use C# or Java's built-in threadpools if you are doing any serious work, no ? Do they even have something as easy to use as https://github.com/taskflow/taskflow ?

- Debugging cross-platform code using couts, cerrs and printfs

because people never use console.log in JS or System.println in C# maybe ?

- Forced to use boost for even quite elementary operations on std::strings.

can you point to non-trivial java projects that do not use Apache Commons ? Also, the boost string algorithms are header-only so you will end up with exactly the same binaries that if it was in some std::string_algorithms namespace:

https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/43vKadbde
C++ is a broken mess and I'm completely fine with that because it couldn't be any other way. It started as C with classes and they've kept it moving into the 21st century. Rust is here now and should be used for new projects, but at least old projects get to use these new features, ugly as they are. I've also noticed that most people complaining about "new" features do not understand them.
People dying because ambulances are delayed by low traffic areas in London is a myth started by the Daily Mail. There’s no evidence of it happening. In fact the ambulance services support these schemes. [0]

How much lower paying are we talking about here?

Alimony probably isn't going to be a big deal, since I'm assuming by the age of your child you haven't been married for too long.
The abstract for that paper isn’t clearly saying that:

> Approximately 20% of telecommuters stay at home all day during a workday, while only 8% of commuters do. Telecommuters that have at least one trip during their workday accrue more vehicle miles travelled and number of trips than their commuter counterparts.

So if you throw out the 20% who don’t leave their home, the rest accumulate more miles on average?

And they mention telecommuters meeting clients (vs. office workers staying at the office), so I’m not sure the populations are even comparable.

Maybe the paper goes into these details?
And they need to exhaustively verify who is really buying these to be sure they really aren’t in the US so they don’t end up in a Bitmex style situation.

The larger problem here for Signal is US legal claims could nuke it off the (very) centralized Apple App Stores and Google Play Store. Then what?
Things like protected bike lanes and bike only routes are essential if you want mass adoption. They cost more than paint and require political leadership that is currently lacking.
I think crowd sourced recipes never work. Apart from obvious mistakes, a recipe is a very personal thing: how you describe steps, what ingredients, your cooking setup/hardware, what instruction you need, what ingredients are available etc. I recently did a Show HN[0] for a different approach: a private kitchen notebook to accommodate exactly this, your recipes.

But doesn't that highlight a fundamental difference between mathematics and programming, in that the majority of programmers out there are working on problems using programming as a tool, whereas the majority of mathematicians work on maths itself?

I don't mean to disparage either craft, mathematics is a wonderful thing, and of course the applications are enormous and vital to science and engineering, however the majority of work is not applied.

Additionally there is some truth in this, in that the majority of working programmers are 9-5ers who have no passion for programming, whereas maths work is difficult to get into and not necessarily as well paid as other professions so those who work in it are necessarily more passionate.
I'd love to see a paper presented on this.
I've been working on something pretty close to this for some time now. The hurdles mentioned by TomOfTTB are valid, but like another commented, there are services in place. It's really about stitching these systems together, but also identifying who the real customer is.

The author is right:
we're going to need to find another model

Spoiler: the customer is not the listener. Think Topspin, Bandcamp. Combine that high level model to some of the features mentioned in the article, and you're getting close. I hope :)
My humble opinion is that software is not science, but a creative solutions profession more akin to architecture or writing. It's a mystery to me why so many programmers seem to be ashamed of that.

I don't see architects spending their time being envious of mathematicians. "If only we could construct buildings out of closed functions on a plane of pure ideology, where no humans would interfere..."
I've gotten all of his kids movies just for the commentary tracks. It's been a while since I listened to all the commentary tracks, but I remember Spy Kids 2 being the best, Spy Kids 3D being decent, and Shark Boy & Lava Girl being a letdown.
One other big thing to point out is that this approach has the biggest pay-off when you're doing API-focused development (eg writing RESTful web services for thick client applications to use, which was where the framework originated from).

While you could do more traditional web apps this way too, I haven't really tried to optimise for that use case at present. It would need more rails-style glue code and help for HTML templating etc to get there, although that's certainly doable.

I've also been waiting to see if the new more flexible Rails makes it possible to switch in the resource-based routing and controller approach that I want. Sadly I suspect there wouldn't be much of Rails left by that point (we're not using ActiveRecord either), but bears investigation.
Yeah, kind of thought so--a little diversity can be refreshing imo. I noticed that HN redirects you to a previous submission if you use the same url. Perhaps the same could be done if you post something with the same url used on a previous reddit or digg submission.
My thoughts as well. That said, I think an occasional company retreat during the work week is a nice compromise.
