I want Flash to die. What I need is a service that will transcode video to HLS and MPEG-DASH for live stream and VOD. Surprisingly, it's hard to find one that's really excellent.
OK. Here's a simpler way to describe it: if every instruction starts with a bit sequence indicating the length of the instruction, you only need to read those bits to find instruction boundaries, but you still need to linearly scan the instructions to find, say, the 6th instruction.

With this two-stream approach, you can split the bits that describe the instruction lengths from the bits that are the actual instructions, and move the former into the downward-moving 'CPU counter'. That way, you have a simple array containing those bits. That allows you to find the length of an instruction or, alternatively, its offset within its group in O(1) fashion.

From another comment, it seems that doesn't solve the main problem, which is that, with variable-length instructions, you need the ability to shift about any contiguous sequence of bits from a cache line (worst case: cache lines) into an execution unit. That wouldn't be that hard, if it didn't have to be very fast, too.
It's really frustrating to be physically at a business speaking with an employee, only to have them pause our conversation to take a phone call. I really wish more businesses would use SMS.

Great post. This resonates with me because too often others expect a quick reply. I have read receipts disabled due to that mentality and won't use a messaging service that uses them without an opt-out option.
The Tcl shell itself (tclsh, which is many people's only interface with Tcl) is just a REPL that uses libtcl. The Tcl library is written in C, and built to be easy-to-use and powerful. Tcl also has an incredibly stable API/ABI which allows for a "stubs mechanism"[0] which is quite a nice, powerful facility that allows for seamless fixes to your Tcl-dependant work.

I had always a bad feeling about angular.

The first guy I heard talking about it was like "It was made by an underdog at google" and "We often had the feeling about hitting a dead end when developing with it, but it was always because we were using it wrong" which both sounded strange to me.

I used ExtJS, Ember and React. And never switched away from them because it wasn't maintained anymore. It just happened that people preferred to use new frameworks on new projects.
Seriously I love that they added cards and dropped Panels and Wells. I used to have to create something like cards on nearly every project and used Panels/Wells maybe once.
>Do you long for the times of McCarthyism?

McCarthy was a bit overzealous but honestly I don't see the issue with it. Imagine if North Korea had its own party in the US, a party that worshiped Kim Jong-Un, and NK was 100 times larger, and had tons of nukes, and murdered wayyy more people than it does, and had spies at the highest levels of US government.

What would you think of the people who belonged to this party? Would you work with them? Trust them with positions of power, authority, or influence?

I fear google way more than the NSA or the government. Google can link my name to someone claiming I'm a racist. It can tie me to stupid things I said online 15 years ago. Who knows what it will do in 5 years when Bing reduces their profit margin.

In order for the NSA to actually hurt me the government would have to essentially go full on fascist. But even in that case, first thing they'd do was to crack open Google's database.

That's what the FBI did after 9-11. They went to VISA and Mastercard to find out what the hijackers were up to.

No undo function, but you can choose between disabling or permanently removing tracking features.

It only removes the most "controversial" features of the OS (the "keylogger" part), but it may be of interest for those who still want some features, like everything related to security and/or the cloud.

Maybe it can serve as a basis for a more advanced software which will offer more cleaning options. Or maybe such a software already exists (I didn't search much).
You can also do wildcard selecting with the namespaced approach. E.g.:

[class^="col"] { /* blah */ }
I was about to flag a comment (hoping that I could choose to pick "this is an answer") but didn't know if that was an option once you flag something. The tooltip on the flag icon says "Flag this comment for serious problems..."
I see several limitations in your analysis.

The fundamental one is your insistence on "value." Where is that requirement? How do you define value? If I want 'dalke-email.com' as an email for me and my friends, without a web server or any attached business, then is that sufficient value? What about 'dalke-cat.com', a memorial site in memory of my cat - if a business wants the name, does it get priority over a site that no one else visits?

Assume I have a new-born child named 'Kelly', and buy the domain name 'kellydalke.com', so that I can transfer it a a birthday present in 18 years. Is that value? To you, no, but to me, absolutely yes.

How should the arbitration organization determine things? If your stealth-mode company takes too long to be public, can your domain name be taken away because it hasn't yet contributed value?

My comment was more about the state then than the state now. At that time few, if any languages were designed from scratch to be extended and embedded. Tcl and Guile, to my knowledge were among the first. Tcl interpreter is a library. IMO Guile has grown beyond that charter and is more of a stand-alone Scheme now, but one that can be easily embedded / extended, but so is Chicken I guess.
Does it cost $150k/yr to hire someone you're paying $75k/yr?

I've heard the fully-loaded cost of an employee is about 2x their salary, but I'm interested to know what the fully-loaded cost of a startup employee is. At the minimum, an employer would probably need to pay for health insurance, for example. Even if the benefits aren't very good, the cost is higher than someone's salary.

The article says the cost with overhead is 1.25x, but is that realistic?
Forced to use Google's cloud? Chrome OS supports local network drives[1], third party cloud providers (like Dropbox), SD cards, USB drives, etc. Nobody is forcing you to store stuff on Google Drive instead of any of those others options.

Yes, your Chrome OS settings are backed up to Google's cloud, but you can always set an encryption passphrase separate from your Google password so that Google can't decrypt your settings.

Like I've said elsewhere, there's no built-in contact state that effectively communicates whether the person you are trying to reach is in normal work hours or they're with their family and only expect to be contacted in emergencies. It is a huge cultural problem, but the solution is technical: bring back away messages. It worked for AIM.
Most of mainstream media is willing to criticize the government as long as it is about anything but privacy violations. Only a handful of sites (The Guardian, The Intercept, Ars Technica, HN) have consistently reported on it.

It may not be just cowardice. The scary part is that the public-at-large just does not care.

If you haven't figured out by now that it's not a human that reads them, you're being wilfully blind.

Even if you are limiting it to humans, all it would take is you pissing off the right person. With your entire life in front of them, how many different types of revenge do you think they can find?
I see 2-way data-binding is mentioned here and will still be supported (good). Curious why has 2-way now become 'uncool' recently, e.g. React?
2-way is what got me excited about client side JS due to the code reduction in an average app. Is just that Angular 1's implementation was non-performant? (lots of other frameworks use it as well, e.g. Knockout, RactiveJS, etc).
Ha. I OC'd [corporate instant messenger] a 200 strong team (all, added to an OC a group, think corporate MSN, we sat next to each other, but nothing like this had been done before in our office) an open question "What does it make to be a strong [business line role]?"

It was quite fun seeing OC completely wipe out, but much more fun getting answers.

Even as connections were being wiped out due to latency, as being asked to hijack desks that still had connection. Some really insightful stuff that was irrelevant for anything 'in hand' but yet relevant, and that didn't usually come back through formal channels.

But, absolute OC wipe-out.

Some answers that came back were quite embarrassing, for all. It led to good things.

I think it's because Communism is such a good idea on paper that intellectuals have a hard time admitting that it has been tested numerous times and the results are definitive: it doesn't work.

But looking at the idea on paper now, it seems obvious what the problem is: it requires unprecedented power to be put in the hands of a few despots with no oversight. What could possibly go wrong?

I don't understand why they're only releasing this through the App Store in the first place.

- Giving 30% to Apple is no small thing

- You lose the ability to maintain a direct relationship with your customers, provide upgrade pricing, etc

- Any updates are gated behind a delay-and-frustration-prone release process.

- There are plenty of services that will handle billing for 5% or less, compared to Apple's 30%. However, in the post-Stripe universe, implementing a webstore yourself is actually super easy.

This is toxic. The article is right, this should be illegal, and there should be a supreme court ruling to make sure this can't happen.

The implications for social mobility are egregious. It's difficult enough for those who come from lower-income backgrounds to succeed, meet the right people, and flourish. Now we're looking at dictating the access to capital somebody has based on not merit, not individual trustworthiness, not potential... but the sum of their friends? This creates even more of a positive feedback loop for the status quo at each and every level of income, making it harder to move up or down.

Not okay with this. Zuck, or somebody that can, needs to squash this.

I researched this quite a bit for a guide I wrote on laptop border searches several years ago.

The U.S. government agencies with border search authority, especially ICE and CBP, claim the power to search both people who are arriving and departing the U.S. under that authority. They've decided to exercise this power much more regularly for arriving travelers than for departing travelers, in particular by physically making everyone pass through a CBP immigration and customs control checkpoint when they arrive in the U.S.

But they claim the power to do exactly the same kinds of examinations for people who are leaving the country; they just do this so rarely that they haven't built physical facilities to interview or search departing travelers on a large scale.

My impression is that they believe this authority commences when you begin the process of leaving the country, probably by checking in for your international flight. I don't know how that would work if you have a domestic connection prior to the international departure (if they would think they could perform a border search in the first airport or only in the second airport). Yes, that does mean that a CBP or ICE agent could come find you at the TSA checkpoint or, more likely, in the departure area or at your boarding gate and search or question you. This is true even if there are other passengers in the same terminal who aren't traveling internationally; whether the passengers are treated as subject to the border search authority could depend on where they're individually going, not just what physical part of the airport they're in.

I've never heard of this happening, but the agencies have policies for doing it.
I know this architecture tries to innovate everywhere, but disjoint streams that share registers, but not caches?

I haven't read all documentation on the Mill, but I would expect that that sharing part means that both streams can read or one can write each register.
"The NSA doesn't get my email unless it gets a FISA warrant since I'm in the USA. Court records show they get about 3000 warrants a year. I'm pretty confident I'm not one of those."

Your implication seems to be that this is supposed to make the practice more acceptable. Well, I'm not from the US or even a Five Eyes-country. I speak from the perspective of the billions of people who don't have these rights under the NSA and similar-minded agencies.
Great points. Something I feel that Tcl really got right and Python did not is handling concurrency. The Tcl way is to run the different interpreters in different threads and communicate between them by message passing but without the need for serialization - deserialization. They had this from the very beginning.

Its these kind of experiences that I want to learn to teach my child to make it through.

There are a lot of other people out there who will unknowingly be very discouraging, to both children and adults, but their opinions have no bearing on our ability to learn. I remember being in music class in grade 1 and it was my absolute favorite class. Near the end of the year I was told that I wasn't very good at singing by my teacher. I never tried to sing again, but I learned later that I have good pitch and a decent voice. I am not really interested in singing now, but I might have learned a different set of skills if I didn't avoid it.

Is there a way that I could have been prepared so that being told by the person I looked up to for validation, that I was no good wouldn't make me stop trying to improve?

I don't know about that, but if there's a way to teach that, it would definitely be a good lesson. It would certainly be nice if teachers didn't do things like that, but even if you could guarantee they didn't, you won't stop the bullies or the critics or anyone other hater as you get older.

It blows my mind that intelligent people could still be part of the CPUSA in the 50s.

> No, he's saying that employees using public forums to call other employees (including former employees) "batshit insane" are not welcome within Mozilla.

Let's do a thought experiment. If the post had been, "[NAME] was one of those batshit insane men's rights types. I'll be glad when all of his kind have left Mozilla and taken their misogyny elsewhere," would the CEO be reacting in the same fashion? Would The Verge write approvingly about it?

If not, then we're really not talking about some studiously neutral principle, and we should stop pretending that we are.
Because bank robberies are something that happens often enough and affects enough people that we should allow people in power (who are never, ever corrupt!) to have the capability to do something where the potential for abuse is incredibly easy to imagine.

Ask HN: What are the best questions you've asked your users for feedback?
There seem to be 2 types of user interviews:

(1) where you talk to somebody with the problem in the target demo and learn about the issue and how they deal with it now to figure out what to build next.

(2) talking to your current users and understanding how to make your product better or how to take it from where it is now to a point where users fall in love with it.

Emmett from Twitch has a really great video on conducting user interviews for case 1.(https://clip.mn/video/yt-qAws7eXItMk). My question is around case 2.

Questions I've seen and used:

-How likely is it that you would recommend the PRODUCT to a friend or colleague? (Net promotor score)
-What prompted you to try PRODUCT in the first place?
-What did not meet your expectations or what was hard to figure out?
-Have you shared PRODUCT with anybody or on social media?
-What did you use before using PRODUCT?

The answers have been useful, but was wondering if you guys have any other go-to questions for your users that have provided great insight.
