Most of it is written from scratch. For better or worse, I'm very systems-oriented, meaning I like to understand everything from the ground up and I spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel. (Probably why I studied Biochemistry.)

Very happy with the lessons I learned throughout the process and the end result. Experience with Django and Rails design patterns was a tremendous help.

Let's try: as far as I know, this bit: Under this rallying cry, Lesswrong insiders attempt to purge discussions of any political opinions they disagree with.

Having hanged around LessWrong for quite some time, I'm pretty sure this point is false. How am I to show it however? Dump the whole site to show the absence of such purges? And how the inevitable counter-example? Quite a lot has been said there, we're bound to find unacceptable behaviour somewhere. All I can provide is a testimony. In other word, anecdotal evidence, which we all know to be weak.

There's another way to say "pseudo criticism and cherry picking facts". It's the fully general counter-argument. If the criticism can indeed apply to all groups, then it effectively applies to none, because it doesn't provide a way to discriminate different groups.
I seriously doubt anyone cares much about raw battery capacity per se. Battery longevity is what matters. I wouldn't mind the smallest battery in the world if it powers my device the longest. The good news is despite the smaller battery and thinness and much much better display, the new Retina MBP 15" has better battery life than the machine you believe was the last great one.

In the end, you might not agree with their trade-offs, but they are giving the customer the best of both worlds (something I suspect most of their customers appreciate), improving across both dimensions of weight and battery life. It's very hard to argue they are making a worse machine now than before.

Show HN: StringBean Superstar Framework
Looks like Köln could use a code of conduct. This is Dongle-gate all over. When will this sexism end.

If it's not clear, let me get rid of the ambiguity. The code of conduct would be limited to the women only as they would look into the code over how they conduct themselves.

Hirja.

Edit: It was suggested by the mayor.
The underlying assumption to your hypothetical is that thought crimes exist. I would say that someone in that situation doesn't have a privacy problem, they have a governance problem. Either a dictator has seized power or their fellow citizens have voted to make it illegal to express certain ideas. And in either case, encryption isn't going to be much of a solution. It'll only delay the inevitable. Someone who talks about illegal ideas is taking a big risk anyway.

It seems common that the arguments for privacy trumping other values depend on bad behavior by state actors. In which case, reforming the state by whatever means necessary would probably do more good than advocating for philosophical concepts.
While the research underpinning the product has always been weak in it findings, I find their goal post very low.

If we assume that brain games work, why aren't we comparing this to sudoku, Tetris, trivial pursuit or memory? Or simply reading a book, doing homework?

It's not like real life is low on intellectual challenges and if brain training is really transferable, shouldn't solving math problems be transferable too?
Maybe someone else can fix those things while he builds this cook framework?
There are very few topics where I just cannot get the point of the discussion among smart people, but this is one of them.

Look at the real world NOW, 15 years after all the surveillance. You still can explode bombs and kill people middle in a european capital without any encryption at all. Is this the kind of surveillance you are afraid of?

If you want to hide something, there are infinitely many ways to do this. No surveillance can (or ever will) read the one time pad encrypted communication. So you have (and always will have) your freedom and capabilities to hide — what's your problem?

Arguments like "well then show me your bank account" are just plain stupid: I have no interest in sharing this information with my work colleagues, my neighbours or my friends just because it would have implications in some social aspects (it's not about security!). But his information is only sensitive in context of a personality. I'd neither have problem to show anything to a random stranger nor would I be interested myself in this information coming from a random stranger.

If somebody uses my information in an unethical way, it is not the problem of a surveillance, but that it's possible at all.

Exposing my personal data to a government during an investigation could also protect me by verifying my alibi. We have nothing to hide, right?

The comparison with free speech is ridiculous. Free speech is the opposite of hiding and doesn't imply breaking the law. Hiding implies playing by other rules, than commonly established. Free speech is important because eventually I might have something to say. But no one would ever agree that he or she will have something to hide eventually (without getting criminal).

So I'm still missing the point...
Sorry, I assumed that the state will be taking taking mileage and general "condition" into account, and personally I'm used to people mostly buying used cars - and used car market isn't exactly a paragon of business honesty.

I can give you some examples for what can be described as micro-aggression (even if SJWs are totally abusing this term and take away any legitimacy when claiming to be a victim of it) Keep in mind that either of these things happen to me on a daily basis.

1) I speak JLPT ~N2 level with almost no accent, but get handed the English menu in a restaurant in Tokyo.

2) I get complimented for being able to eat various Japanese things (natto, umeboshi) or being able to handle chopsticks.

3) I get compliments for being able to read Kanji after talking to someone for the past few hours. How do they think I learned the language? With romaji?

4) Speaking to staff in Japanese, staff answers to my Japanese friends instead of speaking with me.

The last three ones are almost symptomatic for 日本人論, where it is common to think that certain Japanese cultural habits or attributes cannot be mastered or understood by outsiders, thus it is necessary to point them out or try to compensate for them.

Some of these attributes are reasoned to exist because of biological differences (google Japanese Brain), others because of the 'rich' cultural heritage of Japan that was never tainted by other countries (as if China and Korea are not close to Japan...).

Don't take this as me being unhappy to be in Japan. I just wish that people were a bit more self-aware around here. The problem is just that there is not the necessary vocabulary around to address these problems. It's not as if 人種差別 is a popular subject.
Code in your most productive hours, do documentation, emailing, whatever other tasks when your daily ration of coding energy is gone.
I think most Western people don't consider ancient Egypt to be directly part of their history. The Romans, definitely. Many of the words in your comment and mine are hardly changed from Latin.
I think it depends on what you do. I spent first half of my career ordering a la carte.. In hindsight, I ended up building a lot of crap that the framework should have provided for me.

This is the major reason why I have learned to be cautious with getting wowed by the apparent simplicity of micro frameworks.

At the very minimum, I want a framework to have an opinionated model layer with migration support, and chances are you will get trickle down benefits from frameworks that have opinionated M layer..

Look at djangos form abstraction for instance. Or the way validation is handled in Django models, which in turn opens up for the possibility of creating a neat REST abstraction. These are the types of abstractions that you end up writing yourself or not writing at all when you go the 'light framework' route, but they are almost always handy and will save you time.
After watching documentaries about North Korea with smuggled film, it would surprise me if the country could have turned out much different than it is now.
I would again disagree and the facts in the constitution would agree with me. The word democracy never appears in the constitution, only Republic.

The framers were strongly against democracy and the term "constitutional republic" has only recently been wrongly attributed as the form of government.

The representatives and president are chosen by votes, but that does not make it a democracy or a democratic republic.The actual legal founding document is clear, it is only a republic.
That's my default assumption too. I don't trust them at all, though I still give the company the benefit of doubt. Innocent until proven guilty, etc. And hell, even if they're not lies, they're usually so vague as to be meaningless anyway.
> It's like someone sold carrots claiming they improve vision, and got thrown in jail.

Exactly. Want to tell carrots? Go ahead. Want to sell carrots by telling people with failing sight that it will improve their vision, and talk them into a monthly fee for carrot delivery? You'd better have some research to back that up.
Africa's "smart phones" (whatever that means) are usually a feature-phone with a web browser. Much less capable than a smartphone

Turn off wifi and 3G/4G see how long your smartphone battery lasts. Oh I did this recently with an old phone, it lasts around 4 days as well (and that's with an old battery)

Also a lot of apps abuse smartphone processing updating how many times per minute

But screens and processing power still cost a lot of energy
Yeah, I really feel like its the 'gold standard' in framework design.

Still, I look at things in Django and get angry that they were not MORE opinionated, like Rails. Like, not having a decent REST abstraction out of the box is almost unforgivable in this day and age.

The Grapple X on 8 November 1957 (a few months after the Grapple 1 on 15 May 1957) was a successful thermonuclear device[0], so it was only a short term bluff.

Bear in mind that this was in the context of the British feeling betrayed by the Americans on nuclear research - from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Energy_Act_of_1946 :

"Implementing the McMahon Act created a substantial rift between United States and Britain. The new control of 'restricted data' prevented the United States' allies from receiving any information, despite the fact that the British and Canadian governments, before contributing technology and manpower to the Manhattan Project, had made agreements with the United States about the post-war sharing of nuclear technology. Those agreements had been formalized in the 1943 Quebec Agreement. In the case of the United Kingdom, these were developed further in the 1944 Hyde Park Agreement, which was signed by Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt"

Problem is that node is buggy as hell. Try and do something more trivial than basic I/O and you are going to face lots of them. Its almost a decade since node hype has begun and still you will hardly find any large, well-known website being powered by node is the testament to this fact.

Also, if you read the docs of any major API implementation, you will find examples in python, php, java, etc. but I'm yet to come across a node example. Node ain't ready for the real world yet.

People.
Google is also killing Java with their Java 6 and a half fork, without any public roadmap how future versions are going to be supported.

This will become even worse after Java 9 and 10 get released, specially with the infrastructure API and language changes they bring in.

So if Google keeps their stubbornness, any Java library writer will be faced with support Android Java or official Java dilemma.

And hacks like RetroLamba aren't going to help anyway.

I really don't see any difference in behavior vs what Microsoft did.
This is stupid. The real lesson of running a startup is "don't trade your real life for the illusion that your startup needs you that much".

I read an article once about a startup founder who didn't go to his brothers funeral because he was so committed to his startup.

It's not cool or clever or even giving you an edge. If your startup depends on you working New Year's Eve then you are doing it wrong.
If I understand correctly, all it takes is a few text messages from your client for you to incur huge bills on their behalf.

Thanks for the analysis.

That point on Microsoft is just their revisionism, though; the documents and emails gathered by discovery at the time show they weren't excited about Java, but actually trying to "kill cross-platform Java by growing the polluted Java market" (direct quote from their internal strategy docs).

it makes a lot of sense for film makers who want to film in 4K without forking out for a Red camera, just paying per minute of film instead.

It's the other way round: programs include the browser as a COM component. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752040%28VS.85%29...

So on the older operating systems, programs that shipped with the OS will be embedding the browser as a COM component, usually for help purposes. If they're rendering local HTML (or generated HTML!) then they require that to keep working. So that particular interface has to be maintained, making it very difficult to upgrade.

Microsoft were kind of correct in the "browser choice" lawsuit that they'd used the browser as an OS component, and everyone else was correct that this was kind of a bad idea.

On the other hand, how do you embed a browser component in a forward-compatible way?

I dont have experience to corroborate, but I can say I have been seeing a lot of interest in Node even from people in the enterprise crowd. Places that would ordinarily be writing stuff in Java and .NET are turning to Node instead..

But WINE isn't designed to be interoperable with Windows. I'm not even sure what that means. Outside of some special cases, it's not like you can get something useful (or even functional) by arbitrarily mixing and matching Windows and WINE components.

Instead, for the APIs it supports, WINE was designed to interoperate with Windows programs (binary and source) in same kind of way the Android Java environment interoperates with Java programs (again both binary and source) for the APIs it supports. There are some minor differences (e.g. WINE works with binary applications directly, Android requires that Java bytecode be compiled to Dex bytecode, etc.) but the overall structure is the same.

Sure, Android only supports few Java APIs and WINE supports tons of Windows APIs, but that's the distinction fair use hangs on, how does any re-implementation of a proprietary API ever get off the ground (legally anyway)?

The author's previous iteration of a library for multi-user text editing was called libobby, so that it'd be manually linked with -lobby. It might have been named some time after reading about libiberty and the like. Naturally, the Gtk GUI app had to have a G prepended to that, and the name was kept even though libobby was dropped in favor of a new, C-based library implementing a more complete algorithm with a slightly less gimmicky name.

Maybe globby would have been a better call...
Throughout the process I found left-overs from the previous processes and yes, it looked much worse. The worst part for me is that there were steps in the process than though simple, they were not defined anywhere and thus it required me calling various departments to ask for clarifications.

I bet that when Java 10 finally gets released, maybe around 5 years from now, Google might eventually release Java 8 support.

Even their recent actions with OpenJDK are related to version 7, not 8.

At their Autumn conference they only addressed Java 8, reluctantly during Q&A, and still asked devs to cherry pick features from it.

Given that Google is creating a Python 3 / Python 2 situation, due to their Java fork, I fail to see how their actions are less damaging to the Java eco-system than what Microsoft did.
Privacy is similar to property rights in this guise. Facebook is like your backyard or even your home for many, you don't mind people you invite in see the pictures on the mantle, wall, or whatnot. You would mind if they start rummaging through the house though.

So in regards to privacy we treat it like property. Governments which don't support good property rights are not going to care one whit about privacy and those who come after privacy will eventually tread on property rights.

People need to understand it as something to be protected just as you would your physical stuff and work towards having it treated similarly in government.
This actually sounds very close to a need I have been trying to fill, and failing to do so. I have many of these same issues, and can't stand dealing with touch feely psycs (I am way to practical for that nonsense). I realize that many of my issues are simply behavioral and can be overcome through simple training, and have been seeking a "personal trainer" of sorts.

Is this an actual product you have out in production now, or is it still in the planning stages so far? I would be very interested in further developments. I am a Software Engineer by trade, so please let me know if you would like any beta testers.

One possibility is being able to classify requests much more accurately, so that they get sent directly to a specialised "magician" that can complete the task very efficiently.
I found this a difficult line to toe during development. Where do I encourage developers to do whatever they'd like, and where do I enforce some sort of standard? I tried to pick a middle ground. I avoid helper functions where I can. Want to do something before you save the model? Learn ES6 inheritance patterns and write a save() method around the Parent#save.

Will still have to see where people run into the most trouble and go from there. But I would enjoy it if people could pick up Nodal and walk away confident they could build an ES6 app from scratch.
