"OS X's core is a POSIX compliant operating system (OS) built on top of the XNU kernel, with standard Unix facilities available from the command line interface. Apple has released this family of software as a free and open source operating system named Darwin. On top of Darwin, Apple layered a number of components, including the Aqua interface and the Finder, to complete the GUI-based operating system which is OS X.[32]" - "OS X", Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But how so isn't it random? The article doesn't say, unless I misunderstood.
Makes sense. With my primitive understanding I assumed this was why it was so computationally expensive still. But the descriptions by others make much more sense.
While I agree with your assessment of how people act, I really hope that's not a reason that the FDA really uses to keep information from people[1]. It would be troubling to find out that the government had decided that I should not be able to freely access personal information about myself, given that it exists. Whether as a society we can deal with that information currently or not, there's no hope for us dealing with it in the future if we aren't given a chance.

1: I don't doubt it's some people's underlying motivation, I just hope it's not overt enough that it's valid reasoning in official reports.
Electron: Build cross platform desktop apps with web technologies
The reason for HN's guidelines is not that we're uptight finger-waggers. It's that we understand the dynamics of a large anonymous internet forum. The alternative isn't HN-as-it-is, spiced up with more sarcastic or aggressive comments. The alternative is internet sludge.

The way to preserve what HN has that is good (and I'm not saying it's great, only that it's better than it might be) is to have a clear set of principles and communicate them. If you know a better set of principles, where the fitness function is high-quality discussion at scale, I'd love to hear what they are. Otherwise I'm going to suspect you of magical thinking, in which HN's current level is assumed to just happen for free, and for some reason meddlesome thought police keep intruding on it.
No, there is no demo for builder. Structor runs as server on localhost and reads files from local filesystem. So, if there was a demo for each on-line demo session we would have to start new docker container or something like it.
A comparative benchmark necessarily requires access to a range of processors, on a routine but rare basis. It really is inconvenient to buy and manage them all. For starters, where would I put them?

More software developers would take advantage of the special features in processors, if Intel provided easier access. I've been curious to try features and make comparisons, but it's just a couple steps too much hassle.
The patent doesn't, but the license does. Patent licenses can contain pretty much any legal conditions the licensor likes, much like software licenses.

In this case the condition of the HVEC license is that you pay them a fee for every copy you serve.
I'm not quite sure how to read your comment. Are you expressing surprise at that, or suggesting it as a semi-obvious explanation?

I would say that once you've chosen the correct algorithm to implement and understood it deeply, writing algorithmic code often isn't so difficult.

In contrast, interfacing with existing systems can be arbitrarily complicated, if you're handed something with arbitrarily bad design.

How is sandboxing directly relevant to the usefulness of an application?

It can be relevant to some applications: generally applications that are made more useful by being able to infer things about the global state of your OS. E.g., an unarchiver that wants to default to the current directory instead of asking you each time.

But certainly not all. And not even most.
It feels likely they could claim that any court order to transmit and log the keys would be "unduly burdensome" and would in fact fly in the face of their carefully considered business practices.
Or is it only barriers which require a restart to disable?

Yes, that's what I meant by "nonstandard." Apple has invented a brand-new access control mechanism to keep people from tinkering with files that reside on their own computers. For now you can work around this feature. Once they close that particular gap, I'm guessing we'll still be able to use a debugger to get the job done... and I'm guessing you'll move the goalpost accordingly.
This is a Javascript project, but there is no NPM distribution for it.

Edit: yes, it's not a Ruby gem. I stand corrected.
Except the perl kids weren't cool (I was one of them) because they didn't write c++, and they weren't cool because they didn't write assembly, and on on!
There's a pretty good chance Goldman has sold when-traded OTC contracts on a lot of these hyped up private companies, in effect making themselves short the stock. Hence the WSJ article. Actually when you think of it this way and realize they have probably fleeced a lot of dumb third world money, the whole Theranos board setup makes more sense.
The problem/difference is that mobile apps are like websites.

From what I've heard, a lot of them really are websites, as all they do is wrap the OS's browser control and open it to the specified website. In other words, they're nothing more than enormously bloated browser bookmarks. That is a problem, but I think it's more attributable to the lack of support for adding browser bookmarks to the home screen than anything else since the only reason they exist is so people can go to some company's website more easily.

That said, a sandboxing feature for the apps you don't necessarily trust is certainly a good idea; nevertheless, I personally don't see much value in keeping around those which I only somewhat trust, but don't trust with full access. It's either apps I trust completely, or ones I find alternatives to which I can.
I guess it's good to be cynical at times, but do you really think the tweeter and indeed Facebook would put their reputations on the line to gather such a small, insignificant information?
Memory Is Holding Up the Moore's Law Progression of Processing Power (2014)
> I think the mistake (at least in today's world) is that un-sandboxed is the default. Even as a power user, I would like if most of the GUI programs on my computer (web browser, word processor, etc.) were sandboxed, so I can focus most of my scrutiny on my IDE, toolchains, etc.

As a desktop user I need little to none scrtuiny. My web browser, IDE, toolchains, IM, video player and computer games all work together well and while technically any one could own any other, this simply does not happen. It takes some (little) skill to avoid obvious malware, and then generally you're fine. On the other hand, I get to open my video file in my IDE, edit IM's data files in a word processor, and move things around seamlessly with OS; everything is expected to work and no program tries to lock me in.

> The other aspect is that programs are traditionally really bad at being conscientious about your system, even when not being malicious.

I don't think much has changed here. Phone apps are also not conscientious; they fight for your attention with other apps and with the entire operating system. The changelog of both Android and iOS is full of things done against app developers, because many popular app developers are willing to do anything imaginable to get your attention (and thus ad money).

My point is - the problem isn't with sandboxing itself; it's with the web and mobile ecosystem that makes developers work against the interest of users, instead of for it. The sandboxing is just a symptom - something that is being done to mitigate the damage of greedy "entrepreneurs". Desktop environments don't need that much sandboxing because there isn't that much crap going on.

I think the fact that desktops originally weren't connected to the Internet is a reason we've started with an open system, but it may be worth preserving this flexibility even in the Internet era.
conda is quite good. It makes a strong case to be a good general (not just Python) package manager. In particular I think the way it tries to make compiled binaries relocatable is very useful (and clever).
Sorry, quite new to HN. I just add "Show HN" to the tittle?
While using AES-256-CFB is not "rolling their own crypto", Steel has some other functionality around (see https://gitlab.com/Rosvall/steel/blob/master/crypto.c) which provides bad implementations, namely generate_pass which seeds from timestamp and verify_hmac which is not a constant time comparison function.
slightly off-topic - do you know if the catalogue in any of the Oxbridge's libraries are online searchable?
Ah, of course, silly me. Our cats are chipped, tattooed, and desexed - just not tagged.
Simply, it provides a way to install the exact dependencies a program needs without breaking others / polluting your OS.
It's kind of a cross between the two. Halide uses a compiler to produce byte code, and has a small set of operations.

I don't pretend to know or especially care about accuracy, but the semi-archaic language of the King James Version gives it a certain authoritative-sounding zing that others may lack.

"Thou shalt not kill" sounds a whole lot better than "Don't kill" even though the former has two words missing from modern English.
That's not an insurmountable problem though, and sandboxed environments are getting better in this regard. E.g., it is now possible in iOS to launch one application from another which edits the source document directly — not a copy.

That said, the notion of a file system isn't inherently incompatible with sandboxing. If you allow the user to grant permission on a per-app basis whether those apps can read/write to a common data store, you essentially have the benefits of a local file system in a way that does not break sandboxing.

You only want to sandbox apps to keep them from touching the OS and other private app data. If it is user-permitted for them to touch a common data store then that means data does not always have to stay within the app in which it was created.
Fair point, I thought you were saying before that critiques of union workers earning too much were really driven by this white vs blue collar issue, while now I see that what you were really saying is that the OP wasn't necessarily even talking about unions, just complaining about rich blue collar workers.

In fact, before I saw the rest of the thread I was going to ask for clarification about the original oil-field worker point.

I agree that manual work can have a high market rate even without unions, e.g. if it physically requires a very fit man to do the job, in addition to the right personality, dexterity, intelligence and reliability.
Sandbox all you want but give me root level access then. Notepad++ may not need the GPS or Internet access[0], but I need it to be able to edit Visual Studio's config files when I ask it to, without having to ask VS for permission. Don't let programs have magic databases that are inaccessible by users.

[0] - most desktop software doesn't need Internet access; even most mobile software doesn't need it in principle, it's only because of lazy business models that they have to have it.
Love both ideas! Will definitely implement it and have global recessions with mini city-cycles. This way it will make more sense to buy one or the other.
You guys are way better than me, my max is 1.3B

Hey guys,

While in between jobs, I decided to take a shot at learning ES6 and Redux. Probably doing a lot of things wrong, don't be shy and point anything egregious you see out! Planning on adding a lot more interesting features soon, but figured here's a good starting point. Any feedback / critique is more than welcome.

Thanks!
Fair, but I also want to grant sandbox apps to touch the OS and other private app data. The way how on desktop I can use Emacs to edit /etc/hosts, or MS Paint to change some other program's splash screen.
Yes, they are all terrible. I don't know if this will be any better. They all highlight how bad the web is as an environment to host applications. A rich text editor - something that is a trivial toy project in any other application development environment - is impossible to build on the web in 2015.
Very neat -- seems like React for textarea
The first is being distro agnostic. The second is the ability to install packages without sudo, and stuff like virtualenv. The recommended way to set up a python project these days is to create a virtualenv and install all your packages there. That way it does not interfere with system packages, and can easily by cloned or destroyed as necessary.
It's also open source. The developers (Basecamp) are obviously deeply invested in the Ruby stack.

If you want to install it with NPM, you could a create pull request with a package.json file and some helpful information for the authors about how to submit to the NPM registry, no?

This is the point of open source software you realise - that you can not just use the software, but that you can help improve it for yourself and others.
The arguments in that article don't seem to ring true. It's claiming that simple trap-and-remove just has other cats move into the area and that if you don't catch all of them, the breeding pairs bring population back to the same level. But with TNR, the population is never reduced, since you put them back; you have the same problem with breeders if you don't catch them all; and when the neutered cats start dying out, they'll be replaced by the same neighbours anyway.
Thanks for linking to that, I like that it's based around markdown.
So why do people pay subscriptions to Amazon then if they can get it so much cheaper elsewhere?
A few years ago, I opened and closed a company there with no problems. Did it again recently (post the various money laundering laws) and it was much more paperwork. When I flew to HK to get the bank account opened, they stressed I might not get it and that many foreigners could not get an account opened. 4 weeks later, HSBC denied me an account so the company lies empty until I decide to close it.

In a previous thread, someone said they managed to open an account so maybe it's on a case by case basis.
> My app Workflow[1] has a great workflow in its gallery that you can run from your widget to clear your clipboard if you regularly copy sensitive information.

Shameless plug, but the app looks awesome. Would be cool (if not already done) if you could plug into IFTTT to fill in features that you can't/don't want to.
(Also) Not the OP, but the Holman [http://www.hcsb.org/] has become my translation of choice.

As mentioned by other, the NASB and the ESV are also both good choices. I really like the NASB for study, but find the language choices make it a little jarring (compared the ESV or HCSB), so I tend not to use it for regular personal reading.
What is the computational complexity of inserting a character into a text containing N characters, using this editor?
No, it's not distributed as a Ruby gem.
This is cool, one issue thou is that on iOS the select content menu gets in the way. Not Trix fault but iOS makes these WYSIWYG editors a no go.
But that's the point of React - providing an abstraction layer over the poor decisions that were made in creating the web.

Apart from Javascript, of course. But that particular "bad decision" is getting modified with every version into something more acceptable ("now with classes!").

I guess the endpoint is that React + Javascript (+ Redux) becomes the defacto language for developing UIs in, and what implements that abstraction layer is immaterial. React-native all the things!

Thanks dang, your posts on this topic are always very thoughtful and reasoned.

I guess I would draw a clear distinction between aggression and sarcasm. I do believe you that it's a difficult task to make things function healthily at scale and I'm sure those involved in issuing recent guidelines were correct to do so. And of course I agree that we shouldn't be aggressive (though waveform apparently needs a reminder of this). But I'm pretty uncomfortable with eliminating sarcasm. That's really a very common mode of communication in some cultures. It feels very sterile/corporate to not be allowed to simply be sarcastic. Especially when the target of sarcasm is basically western hegemony, as it was here!
It may seem small and insignificant to us, but how much do you think advertisers would pay to see the link that I just pasted into an iMessage, or the contents of the email I just copied?
> People are biased about Facebook for various reasons, including $privacy-issue-of-the-day"

While FB as a company certainly is not altruistic, they employ quite a few privacy-minded engineers. Data leaks to the outside of their walled garden are very likely treated as company-wide problems, but as the LGBT doxes showed, there are wide implications even within their walls. [0]

As they try to capture ever larger parts of the online population, they will* keep colliding with non-Western, non-SV norms. The privacy issues may be nothing but a canary in the goldmine, because they are mostly an expression of non-SV values. For example, I have my doubts about how long images of traditional Hindu artwork would be allowed to stay up...

At least my comments add something to the discussion, yours is just meta complaints that helps no one. My comment was constructive, I even offered suggestion how to rewrite things to make it better. It wasn't more surface level then any other comment and I did "complain" about the content if you read the last two lines. My main complaint wasn't about the structure at all, it was about signal to noise level and not providing value. The part about accessibility is a perfect example, it has structure but says nothing to someone who doesn't already know what it is.

I wonder is this how you treat code at Facebook? You let glaring faults just sit because criticism are seen as complaining? Just because it's text and not code doesn't make it less important. In fact is often more important since the value is in the text itself, while code can be "good enough" if it produces the right output.

You have now made two comment, but still haven't actually disagreed with content of my comment. It's comments like yours that ruin HN by making it into lowest common denominator meta discussions where everyone just states opinions without having to present any form of argument.

Since you are so concerned about my time I can inform you that I was going to write another comment about something that I had researched which five other people were cluelessly speculating about, but now I wrote this one instead.

Sure, I'm not a CS major. So I'm studying undergrad courses right now. I'm documenting the entire process, but I'm only half way through at this point and I want to get it reviewed before publishing it on GitHub.

If you are interested in a particular course, please email me (pramodliv1@gmail.com). I'd love to hear your feedback.
Trix fully supports file attachments and image attachments, as documented in the readme. It includes an inline caption editor for images.

Trix also supports "content attachments" (currently undocumented) which allow embedding arbitrary HTML as attachments in the document. Basecamp 3 uses this feature to embed @mentions with avatars, and various oEmbed types, in messages and comments.

Oh, I see. I think I took your concern at slightly the wrong angle.

The guidelines don't rule out sarcasm. They ask for comments to be civil and substantive. The Venn diagram of those things may not have a lot of common area but there's definitely some. Just don't ask me to specify what it is—that's probably too hard.
Every Freeware Download Site Is Serving Crapware
Nice idea. Added to the list of upcoming features.
They would pay significantly less than the billions of dollars Facebook stands to lose if they were found out to do this.
It also means opening a video file (or browsing a website, or editing a photo, etc.) can trigger code to read your documents and email it to someone else.
Raising an issue on GitHub would be a good first step.

Edit: https://github.com/basecamp/trix/pull/32
It is not impossible. It just takes a lot of time and effort. It took two developers around 18 months to build Trix.

The readme explains how our approach is different from other WYSIWYG editors. (Most others are just toolbars that call execCommand.)
This is what I was referring to: http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2011/08/22/why_do_w...

Can you give any similar examples of violence against unions, say within the last 20 years and in the US?

I remember finding the beach that seems to harken back to Ico. The ambiguity is a thrill: there's enough to remind you, but never quite enough to prove it. And so you have an odd win-win scenario, where you can enjoy just finding something interesting, but maybe there's more to it. When you walk away from the game, there's a little part of you that thinks there's still more to be had, that the game hasn't ended yet. It helps stave off that bittersweetness of winning mentioned near the start.

It also helps that there really were some great hidden bits. The game is riddled with wonderfully hidden special spots. (If I remember correctly, it's a bad idea to eat the fruit in the garden at the top of the temple.)

When Myst Online: Uru Live got its second wind, a similar air followed the gameplay. Everything could be a puzzle or a plot with each new update. I always felt the Cyan developers knew they had to make puzzles that not only stumped a player, but a whole community of fans. I had enormous amounts of fun searching for and - in the end inventing - puzzles there. To this day I like to think Jalak was totally a puzzle, and not just a surprisingly involved gizmo.
Yes - unless you want people simply to watch rather than take action and impact the real world.
Definitely a fun start to a game. Reminds me of Adventure Capitalist and predating that Dope Wars and some similar games. It definitely needs to have independent boom/bust cycles for each city as right now there is no reason to touch most of the mid-priced areas.

Also I think the boom/bust cycles need to be a little bit more volatile. Right now it's far too easy to buy low and sell high as fast as you can click.
Okay, time to write up an article about all these different WYSIWYG editors.
