Also how many of the packages designers are using are available on iOS?

Also no mention of the surface. Seems like we are missing a much better direct comparison.

So, the obvious question: will this stop Baidu from being used to attack American companies again [1] or not? There's nothing mentioned in the article.

Presumably if Baidu's site has some JS injected to make Baidu customers attack GitHub again, Cloudflare could do some egress filtering?

This would effectively secure Baidu's outbound traffic from the Great Canon.

> Well that's one reason yes, and by itself not really a good enough one. But if you read the PEP there are another 4 good reasons that you omitted from your comment, why is that?

Because the other reasons were twice as horrible.

"No loss of abilities"? Uh, you can't do this in lambdas anymore.

"Exception to the rule"? Who cares? It was useful and readable, that's all that matters.

"Uninformative Error Messages"? This has never been a pain point for me. If you don't like it then no one forced you to use it...

"Little Usage"? Well I guess everyone matters but me. Which is fine, but then you shouldn't wonder why it would tick me off.

Great! 134 comments so far and only 1 or 2 about "Python 3 will never prevail", "Python 2 is better" and the usual rant. Things are getting better !
Very interesting article. In human history, we have always had periods where growth comes from expansion and then periods where growth comes from innovation.

Globalization was an expansion-driven growth phase and we have reached the end of what it can do for global growth - yes there are regions that are still catching up with the rest of the wrold but barring Africa, their population is relatively small so their catch-up will not contribute to significant global growth.

We have transitioned into an innovation driven growth-phase now. We'll have to wait for it to start to sputter before we know what kind of expansion-driven growth we will see next.

I like the fact that the author thinks of "what comes after" because a lot of the green efforts that we are seeing are looking to prevent climate change/global warming and not enough of preparing for the eventuality that our preventive actions may fail and what would the world look like if we failed and how do we survive & benefit from that.

If eye-tracking is not a replacement, eye-tracking can still be used to initially teleport your cursor near your target, and then you can use the mouse to precisely place the cursor (Tobii EyeX (and Sentry?) has the feature).

I'm always a bit weary, when people rely on physics or rigid math to derive economic conclusions. In this case the author assumes causation between energy production/consumption and economic growth. The conclusion being that since we have a limited capacity to produce energy on Earth and a limited ability to increase efficiency of energy consumption, growth is therefore limited. Which is true, given the above assumption holds. Real world economics is known however for messing up assumptions, however reasonable.

I do agree that exponential growth in energy use won't end well. I'm reminded of the polar heat radiators on Trantor in Foundation by Isaac Asimov ;)

I also find the linear fit in log energy use vs time[0] somewhat dubious. It's confusing to just look at energy use. What matters is the relationship between economic growth and energy use. I'm sure that's been done. I'll look into it and report back :)

This is a great idea. It doesn't seem to mention tax or insurance - maybe I missed that - which are, unfortunately, pretty important.
You need some one-way protocol with redundancy if you're using this to sync a slave database to a master. You'd like to have a protocol with so much redundancy that you can survive an N minute outage on the receive side, N being larger than the reboot time. You could, for example, transmit a stream of updates, plus a stream of old updates from N minutes ago. Plus, perhaps, a slow transmit of the entire database, so if you lose a disk on the slave, you can get synched up again over a period of hours.

You'd perhaps need something like this to come closer:

>Microsoft patents eye-tracking keyboard software

The idea’s just like swipe-based keyboard software, but instead of tracking the motion of your fingertip, the system tracks eye movement.

As your glance moves from key to key, darting around and changing direction, a devices camera records its gaze, and with a little algorithm magic, Microsoft tries to work out just which keys you were looking at – and ultimately, what word you were attempting to construct.

It is an easter egg.
Very nice article, along the lines of The Limits to Growth.

It is a big question if technology can solve all of our problems.

Technology is definitely a part of the solution but human mentality has to change. Most of the people care about their preferences and standards of living, they do not care to look, nor are they interested in participating in solving the problems of the global scale. When this is the case, it's quite hard to shift to something more sustainable.

Through my readings about sustainability I've always been left with a very weird feeling. I'm perfectly aware of what the subject is about, but I can't seem to find any solution that would divert us from the current path, and authors are mostly just commenting on the current situation, being themselves perplexed by the possible solutions.

I'm moving near Frankfurt and I'll be fully working from home for the first time in my life. I was actually searching for a coworking space, this looks like a great alternative. The reason I'm looking for a coworking space is the social aspect anyway and this probably would be better in that regard. I'm looking forward to try.
He obviously added the efficiency to the pot. But energy use is one of the main factors of growth. That is one of the reasons why newly emerging economies from the third world feel like their growth is mutilated by all the requests for reducing carbon emissions.

Same reason why China decided to completely ignore the environmental effects, if they had fewer energy sources, their growth wouldn't be as gigantic.

It's quite interesting what will happen with India and with countries of the African continent. When they start enjoying their increased standards of living, they might want to use more energy, currently they are just a tiny speck of the world energy use.
When Scheme folks get hot and bothered about continuations not being gotos what they normally mean is that the idea of a continuation is much more fundamental.

I've found a much more elemental way of thinking of it is that it's not goto, but rather a tool you can use to make a goto. Or a break, or a yield, or coroutines like is mentioned in the article, and so on. Racket's web framework does an insane amount of clever things with continuations for everything from concurrent request handling to templating forms in functions that return HTML.

It gives you first-class control over control structures to a degree that still, frankly, seems like magic to me at times even though I've used continuations in several projects now.
Yes, Cloudflare can view the unencrypted content if the customer encrypts, but I think that's less interesting than allowing a customer to choose not to encrypt over the internet.
Sadly, this is representative of the new trend of C++ programmers.
I will get down voted, hated, and laughed at, but I do prefer the original version of the code.
It is infinitely more simple and readable, and the layers of abstraction added are of pretty much no value here.

If I stumbled across the latter version, I would just scratch my head. And I've seen sooo many projects just end up in a big code bloat just because some programmers wanted to add tons of "new" features like this that add nothing and just complexify the code for no reason.
I haven't notice on the website anything money related. How is this working, do the guests tip me at the end of the day? It is just for fun?

Ask HN: Salary negotiation coaching. What do you think?
I’m thinking of starting a business around coaching developers and software engineers on how to negotiate salaries, both on their current jobs and new offers.

I have already helped friends negotiate better conditions (ranging from $5k-$30k). They asked me for advice as they know I'm good at negotiation and proposals without being pushy or salesy, plus I'm a former developer myself, so I really resonate with them. I worked with them side by side for a few hours and it helped a lot.

I have been repeatedly told I should offer this as a service, but I've never came around to it.

I'd like to know if there's any real interest out there. What do you guys think?
The incompleteness of this article is stunning.... Replicate your database over a one way link. The problem is that replication typically uses TCP, which is a two way protocol, not compatible with a one way link.

You'll need to encapsulate the traffic in a one way protocol and fake the responses required by higher level two way protocols on either side.
Also disconnecting one fiber, will result in a link down/no carrier link state with default networking drivers, so some patches are needed in this area.
Love to see some open source software capable of this.
> In fact, it is extraordinarily consistent. Outside of disease processes anyone who takes up training like an athlete will begin matching the physique of an athlete. People are athletes buy choice, not by physiological imperative, and this is proven out extensively by people who take up athletic behavior anywhere at any time in life.

They only become athletic if they keep doing it, and many people are for a variety of reasons unable to keep doing it, which is why "exercise to lose weight" is unhelpful advice and is no longer part of the public health message on obesity. It's still really important to get people to exercise. Just don't claim weight loss as one of the benefits.
It really seems to be genuine. I'm amazed.

I suspect the tax and insurance situation will be complicated, added to which I'm not sure I want a bunch of local weirdos coming round my place. The social pressure to accept someone you don't like is going to be large - it's hard to say to someone whom you can probably bear in a social setting, no I could not stand 8 hours of your personality. Then it's easier to shut the group down than to have that conversation

However I sort-of like the "state your days goals" thing - it is an attempt to be inclusive. My own experience is add a non judgemental / "these things take longer" but at the end - in a normal team structure I find daily reporting is counter productive because most worthwhile things take more than a day, and either folks get disheartened because they don't have something to say, get trapped by saying things are going better or further than they have, or simply don't try the good stuff and stick to smaller chunks.

Personal bugbear there

> technology is trying to overcome the randomness that is nature

This is a major reason why consumer electronics and information technology have enabled so many more rapidly scalable businesses in recent decades than other industries (hence "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters").

The technology industry is uniquely founded on physical phenomena that are deterministic, even at high speed or recursive complexity (CPUs, storage, networking, displays, peripherals, etc). Therefore, if you can think of something in a mathematical fashion, you know that it can be built. This essentially eliminates technical feasibility risk - rather than worrying about whether a product can be built, you can focus on what should be built and why.
I think it will kill magazines and certain media. Where you used to pay more for what you wanted, that did cover the cost of that particular media, your interest plus more. If people now only want to and will pay for what they are interested in, part of the magazine will no longer be able to cover its costs.

It'll all shrink, in volume, quality etc

The second version is quite convoluted but it makes sense. But as you say, in this instance I don't think it is a problem that really needs to be fixed when the first one is quite obvious and simple to read.

And to me, the first version does look like someone used to C who comes to write C++ but writes their C++ like it is C. Wrapping it in the second version (as others have pointed out) is safer because it is reusable, and cleans itself up.

Probably it's just the general stability of the oscillator circuit. It seems to drift around 300 kHz around its center frequency of 340 MHz, so about +/-1‰. For such a very simple transmitter that's likely demodulated with an equally simple LC-filter and an envelope detector, it could just be be right "up to spec": http://imgur.com/l47Nm4B

Edit: % -> ‰

Despite my last name, I'm skeptical about predictions that growth will foreseeably slow down or cease entirely. I believe it was Jim Manzi who coined the concept of the "Icarus Fallacy," in which the experts of each decade invariably predict an energy crisis 30 years hence — just after they will die.

Does this demonstrate that current, analogous predictions are false? Certainly lot. But Bayes theorem dictates that the similarity decreases the confidence that one should have in contemporary climate science.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to remain current on cutting-edge climate science. Whenever I check in, I find that the critics seem to be getting the better of the argument. But I profess no expertise.

I do, however, consider myself reasonably qualified to opine about the state of AGI research. And, despite more than a decade of trying, I have no idea when to forecast the emergence of AGI. I would not be shocked if it happened tomorrow, nor would I be surprised if it occurred 300 years from now — or not at all.

I am, however, confident that the emergence of AGI will radically alter the state of the earth, thereby rendering virtually all pre-AGI predictions worthless. The population trends of Africa mean little if some Western nation unleashes a digital demi-god capable of reshaping the earth in its image.

The IPCC's failure to account for this effect, which I believe in quite strongly, does not inspire confidence in the reliability of its other data. I do not, of course, mean to imply that it would be reasonable to expect an international panel on climate change to address the risks from artificial intelligence. But that is because there are so many different contingencies that it is silly to make projections so far into the future. It is not at all clear that an energy crisis is even the greatest existential threat that modern man faces.
Tornado added support for that recently, I believe
In practice, it's actually pretty rare for a GraphQL schema (exposed to clients) to be identical to a database schema which often has admin-only columns or database-specific idiosyncrasies like SQL join tables that you would opt to expose differently to a client.

That being said, there's a lot of low hanging fruit for building a GraphQL schema "generator" libraries for various backing databases - while some things are likely to change, it's quite nice to just apply those edits rather than building up a near-parallel schema again.
