In a lot of ways I think the OOP approach is just too cumbersome.

If you imagine implementing a handler chain, the logic would be quite verbose and distributed. You might want to use an inline type definition. Then you might want to use an anonymous types, then lambdas.

Then you realize that pattern matching is just a sugared version of the OO handler chain.

> My sister in particular is incensed about the road blocks put up all over London that have resulted in several local deaths as emergency vehicles can't get through to attend to heart attacks etc.

I'm guessing you are talking about LTNs (Low Traffic Neighbourhoods). For those outside the UK, these are schemes where through motor traffic is prevented from using residential roads. The idea has been around for decades, but they have seen a recent government push due to people switching away from public transport due to COVID. They are usually implemented by strategically placing modal filters (bollards, gates, enforcement cameras, etc). Emergency services are given keys to the gates and bollards. Walkers and cyclists can travel through unimpeded.

In a public Q&A, London Ambulance Service said they had no evidence of delays due to new LTNs. In fact, they are generally supportive of the schemes. By law, councils must consult with emergency services before implementation.

They have also been the subject of disinformation campaigns by right wing newspapers and taxi driver unions.

I don't see any reason to believe that the ability to recite pointless facts correlates significantly with good decision making. I know many smart people who make very poor decisions, including in the voting booth.

On average, all mental tests tend to correlate with job performance skills.

But I think voting is about preventing violent conflict and maintaining social stability. People who get to express themselves in the voting booth are (hopefully) less likely to express their frustration by grabbing the nearest minority or outcast and stringing them up from a tree.

If that's the intent, the results have been the exact opposite.

Lynching was unheard of in America before the American revolution. All of Africa has been a violent mess since the introduction of universal suffrage. Demagogue politicians exacerbate and fan the flames of ethnic tension. Virulent anti-semitism was rare in Germany before 1870, but decades of politicians vying for power by blaming an outcast group turned anti-semitism into a terrible disease. Democracy universally makes ethnic conflict worse. Read Amy Chua World on Fire.

To put it another way: can you point to any model societies that are really great and are governed by a small ruling elite?

America before the era of Jacksonian democracy ( 1620 to 1820's). Victorian Britain. Bourbon Naples. Pre-civil war Liberia. Belgian Congo (not to be confused with the Congo Free State, which was a disaster). Rhodesia. Singapore. Post-war Japan (basically ruled by MacArthur as dictator). Egypt under Evelyn Baring. Mexico under Porfirio Díaz.

The fallacy that too many people make is that they look at the world and say, "hey, countries that are democracy have a better polity and quality life than non-democracies. Ergo, democracy is good." But this does not tell us if democracy is good, or if democracy is actually a poison. If I give twenty people a poison, only the strongest will be able to withstand it and keep drinking it. The weak fall to the ground sick, and therefore stop drinking the poison. A doctor who arrives on the scene late might see the healthy people drinking the poison, and think the poison is actually good. But that is not the case.

If you look at historical transitions from aristocracy/monarchy to democracy, you'll see that in the vast majority of cases introducing universal suffrage elections has inflamed ethnic tensions and lead to corruption, jingoism, and violence.

Keep on with it. If you're starting at a business you have to be learning and experimenting to succeed at it - regardless of whether the topic's code, infrastructure, employees, sales, etc. No founder is perfect at everything, and some failure is inevitable, but if you don't even try, you'll just be left wondering what might have been.

If you and your friend are serious, have a big discussion where you work out the explicit roles and specialties you're each covering. "I don't know" is not something to hide. Where something is unknown, schedule time to research it and determine if the best way to proceed is "book learning," buying advice, hiring the skillset, sheer trial and error, or something else. As long as you keep trying to tackle the unknowns, the business will progress.

I have a gmail account and a RoundCube thing at my own domain (managed by the domain name provider).

Gmail's spam filtering is very generous to DKIM-signed mail - it has a tendency to let it trough even if I've flagged exactly that sender before (as I did with walmart). The one on my own domain has received too little spam to tell how good the filter is.

Stop caring about labels, titles and recognition; then your struggle will end.

We all want to lead a life of significance, but don't fool yourself into thinking that the only way to find significance is to "achieve major recognition" in the eyes of others. In fact, you'd probably agree that chasing the esteem of others is probably the least significant thing anyone can do with their life.
You are right. node is a i/o framework. And because of that you can write easily servers, like http servers. Which you did.

And Django is also a framework. But not for handling i/o requests or writing arbitrary network programs but for writing web applications.

But comparing a web application framework with an i/o framework and an http server is comparing apples and oranges. Both are fruits but thats it.

But comparing node with django, where the request is handled by another server like nginx/lighty/apache feels somehow really wrong.

tl;dr don't just compare two things because both are a framework.

What we "need" isn't important. Coordinated, responsible leadership sounds great, but that's up to the voters to decide. If the voters don't want that, then why should it be forced on them? Who are you to tell the voters otherwise?

The people elected Trump, so why not give him a dictatorship for 6 months? After all, it's within the President's power to declare martial law for times of emergency. It's the job of the voters to make sure they don't elect someone who can't be trusted with the awesome power available to that position. The same goes for any democratic country.

I should look into C++0x some time; I've been hearing good things, but I've never touched it.
That's the article's point--it's not supposed to stand out. Author is suggesting PayPal designed the button so it integrates into a variety of web pages. The button seems more authentic and secure because of this--as though the web site suggests you use PayPal.

I really dislike gimmicks surrounding charitable donations - open browser tabs, collect soda can tabs, etc.

I've never seen evidence that they really work well as marketing, and every single one ends up being more bother to me and less money to the cause than my just giving them $20-$50.
The takeaway here? If you want to "hack" into sites like these, you're virtually guaranteed to succeed by picking a few random usernames, and trying some combination of "123456", "password", "12345678", site name, and "qwerty" for password.

I think it's time for someone to come up with a radically better authentication mechanism.
I enjoyed the post. Have one thing to add.

IIRC the role of telomeres in aging has been known for twenty or thirty years. I'm blanking on the name, but there was a biotech company that went public in the 90's that had a drug in the works to lengthen or prevent the shortening of telomeres. But two decades later they haven't made much progress.

On one end of the scale, is this Internet-playable version of all of these games.

On the other end of the scale, is a complete archive of such games installed, and playable, in your portable DOS machine: http://openpandora.org/

And somewhere, on a different scale, is the myriad number of other system emulators you can run today .. and gain access to decades of computing history. If you are new to computers and are learning of this world, one thing you can do to enjoy the experience is dig into the emulation-of-older-systems culture that is out there. Old software still works, and is still quite productive in many cases!

(Personal example: Cakewalk DOS is still a wicked little music-making machine!)

This depends on how the response is generated. If it's a script, then of course there is nothing impressive about it, but if parts of the system can recognize importance in action and generate a sentence that asks for confirmation for important actions then it is a completely different ballgame.

This risk also applies to any card terminal where you pay contactlessly. In Europe, that effectively means every card terminal everywhere and a comfortable majority of card transactions (https://www.mastercard.com/news/europe/en-uk/newsroom/press-... says 75% of mastercard transactions in Europe are contactless).

The main protections against this are maximum limits for unverified contactless purchases (about €50, depending on the country) and banks outright guaranteeing customers against fraud (https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/financial-pr...).

No idea how that can translate directly onto phone-based terminals though. On cards, the extra-validation backup for suspicious/over the daily limit transactions is that the contactless machine asks you for your pin, but there's no way anybody should be typing their card pin into a random stranger's iPhone.

The amount of nonsensical DMCA requests I have received is absolutely ridiculous.

"They're usually on a mission to prove themselves right at any cost." Exactly.

That being said I wish there were more devs obsessed with mutable state. Some problems are inherently mutable, and trying to make them immutable doesn't actually get rid of the state, it just pushes it around awkwardly. Classes, for as much hate as they get (mostly deserved IMO), are a godsend for those types of problems. And while they're helpful, stateful programming is still extremely hard. I really wish there was more innovation in this area.
HN was upgraded incrementally over the years.

Your question implies that there were just 2800 people too many. That might be the case but I think it's unlikely. No matter what you think of a given company, and how lazy people outside of tech are, most people actually do do something during their working hours.

It's more likely that they'll do all the things they planned, but slower.

Or they're ramp up the amount of work the remaining staff have to do.

Or they'll cancel some things that would have happened without the reduction in headcount.

I have no idea. I don't work for Peleton. I do work for a large, global company that makes things though, and I do see how the manufacturing things, legal things, digital things (me!), retail things, support things, and admin things all come together and require a lot of work from a lot of people.
I was once involved with the publication of an O'Reilly book. It was the first time I heard the verb "animaled", as in, "yeah, we just animaled the cover". And that meant they had chosen an animal for it. I was working with the authors, who had no input in the choice of the animal.
For me the top 3 health products are:

1. Water

2. Vegetables

3. Fruit

The only thing I have on "subscription" is water. We have pipes fixed in our house so that we can get water whenever we need it as part of our subscription with our water supplier.
In my biased opinion, the "easiest" solution currently is my own boringproxy, which I mention at the top of the list. Once you have the client daemon running on each of your devices (static executable with minimal CLI params and no config file), adding and removing tunnels is just a few clicks in the web UI.

It also has basic e2ee. The TLS certs never leave the client devices by default.

Even so I agree with you that this is still too much. I think a non-technical person should be able to write some content, go through a quick OAuth2 flow to point a domain name at that content, and have it just work. I'm currently working on building something more like that.

Reading OkTrends, I'm pretty sure they're not worried about it.
The article links to http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/does-google-have-double-st... which discusses the ethics of this situation, and makes unspecified allegations that Google does "all sorts of hinky things behind your back" that justifies doing full disclosure against them.

This is a really simple and strong proposal. It's amazing the power that a single url fetch request can have, although the ability to post data is probably necessary for a number of categories of work (for example, any location based apps).

That these background services are not composable puts some limits on their potential usefulness, but it sounds like this plus the existing services would cover most bases.
You cannot get back information - no, although you can artificially guess and make something that looks better in some situations.

But just because you recorded in one RGB space doesn't mean the particular display you are using can reproduce that exact RGB space - take any dozen RGB flat-panel displays and see if their color gamuts match up exactly. They probably don't - so while I'm ignorant of whatever feature the yellow is trying to achieve here - whether it's just fluff or actually filling out a deficiency in the output of their LCD gamut - either way, their display with the added yellow pixels can produce colours that their previous displays could not.

zero experience in this, so this might not be true. I read that due to the way most cities control parking Uber drivers often end up driving around waiting for the next fare.

It depends how a country classifies casualties outside those confirmed cases. Autopsy usually would not be viable given the scarcity of health care staff.

> The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus.

But people who died without a diagnose for the Coronavirus are deemed to be dead not because of it.

From https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-italy-...

> in the city of Bergamo, there were 108 more deaths in the first 15 days of March this year compared to 2019 (164 deaths in 2020 vs. 56 deaths in 2019) according to the mayor of the city Giorgio Gori. During this period, 31 deaths were attributed to the coronavirus (less than 30% of the additional deaths this year)

> "There are significant numbers of people who have died but whose death hasn't been attributed to the coronavirus because they died at home or in a nursing home and so they weren't swabbed," said the mayor

Granted, the sample and time interval is small to draw conclusions. But we'll know (perhaps when it's too late) what's the real death-toll of the coronavirus is.

tl;dr: The death count is not generous; probably the other way around. By, perhaps, a very big margin.
My worry with these providers is I get locked out of my accounts for some arbitrary reason or bug.
In the case of the supermarket, the person who is banned could pay somebody else to buy stuff for them. In an extreme case, that somebody would have to be the government preventing the person from starving.

In general I think private businesses should be allowed to decide who they want to do business with.

In the case of Twitch, the question to me is what is the contract the users enter with Twitch - what promise does Twitch make? If it doesn't promise anything, users invest at their own risk.
> And the fact is that humans can't reliably identify emotions from photographs, so there's zero chance for AI.

This is absolutely not the case. I work in adjacent fields, and it not uncommon for machine learning based solutions to reliably outperform any single human.

In most cases ML aggregates human judgement. Provided some humans are right more of the time than a random distribution would give (and there is enough data) then a good learning algorithm will find it.

Now there are issues with this of course - inappropriate generalisation, inappropriate overfitting etc.

And this comment is correct - data outside a single photo will make the system much more reliable. 2 second video sequences should help a lot.

But the general principle is valid: an AI/ML should be able to reliably outperform humans.
This sounds cool, but does it make sense?

“It uses just tiny bits of data that piggyback on existing network traffic so there’s no need to worry about your battery life, your data usage, or your privacy.”
