I have no problem with ads, as long as they are not obnoxious and don't slow me down the site a lot. I accept the tradeoff. Some ads I actually like (such as an ad for a movie that seems interesting). It's not that rare for me to see an ad on YouTube that says "Skip Ad" and I watch it through till the end.

I don't even mind some targeting and tracking, I just wish I had more control over it. Amazon does it, to show me things that they think I am interested in based on what I have looked at. It's not bothersome to me when they get it right. Although I was never as big on shopping as some people, I don't tend to mind looking at things I might like to own.

Call it manipulation if you want....ok. I personally enjoy having a web that is mostly free, and don't begrudge people that try to make a living at producing content for me.
I feel that article is no longer valid given that it's written in June 2012 while WhatsApp got acquired in 2014. Things have drastically changed since the Facebook acquisition and I've particularly seen my facebook profile being "enriched" by data from WhatsApp (specially when it comes to adding friends). WhatsApp might not be using it for ads within the app but it is surely contributing to building a user/marketing profile on facebook.
Is that trend line really an indication of Angular's popularity relative to React?

It took a few weeks to get decent with Angular, over a month to get productive with Ember, and about a few days to figure out React.

That trend line might be more indicative of Stack Overflow searches.
My thoughts: Meteor got popular enough that the Javascript loons started pecking at it and infesting it with the general lunacy that accompanies NPM and it's ecosystem.

MDG adding easy React support was a definite win and I think using Meteor with React is -the- way to write Meteor apps. But they need to start ignoring the crazies out there and focus on their vision.
Let's say hypothetically I have 600 concurrent users, what steps can a Meteor dev take to increase performance?
Northern climates, offer(ed) predictability for a very long time. In ancient times, you will probably not get human population explosions, but they will thrive in the North.

It was easier for populations to blow up in southern climates but then there were resets(generational disasters) -- specifically famine.

React is a rendering engine, it's covers the final piece of your web app (rendering a data structure into DOM). But whatever you do to create the data structure that gets passed to React is up to you. This keeps most of your domain logic outside the context of the React framework, you just use React as a tool to render you final data structures into DOM. So basically the API you need to know for your domain logic is just Javascript, which most people know already and it's really easy to lookup answers to your questions etc...

With Angular your domain logic exists inside the context of the framework. i.e. if you ng-repeat something you can't just filter that collection with Javascript you have to use an ng-filter to do it which is a special Angular construct. So the API you have to learn to manipulate data isn't just Javascript it's Angular-specific. And what if you don't know how ng-filter works? Well, you're tied to the Angular docs to figure it out. The Angular docs are of particularly poor quality so this coupling turns into a really serious problem if you're trying to be productive, because you're constantly reading docs to figure out how you do something in Angular.

I'm not sure how Angular2 is since I haven't used it, but to me React vs. Angular1 is a no-brainer win for React, since it's much easier to be productive in React + you can target mobile now with React Native. Something I've noticed also, there are basically no developers who have switched from React to Angular and now evangelize Angular, yet there are thousands of people who have switched from Angular to React and now evangelize React. I think that speaks for itself in the sense that anyone who has used both extensively prefers to use React.
They could stay with Micro USB B though? Perhaps at least require all cables support USB 3.1 and power delivery?
You're right. I shouldn't limit myself to NUCs if I want something "standard".
You might switch your support to http://sfconservancy.org/supporter/ (the other organization mentioned in the article, and a charity rather than a trade association).
Are the macs running the latest version of OSX? From what I've read and experienced, OSX declined in quality when Apple stopped charging for OSX and started using it to drive hardware upgrades. These days OSX works fine if you have the latest, greatest, most expensive Mac hardware but if you try to upgrade an existing machine, that's when you get errors.
jQuery and React aren't in competition. Not even really tackling the same problems (though obviously there is some overlap in some areas) and neither one of them are frameworks.

React is overkill for a website. It is great for a web application. But your blog about recipes or hats for cats? You're just over-engineering at that point.
First of all, cleaning your ear canals with Q-Tips feels really good. That seems important, but they don't mention this at all.

Secondly, sure, the wax will fall out on its own if you don't Q-tip it....but do you like looking at people with little gobs of wax falling out of their ears?

I clean my ears regularly with Q-tips for those two reasons. Yes I stick them in the ear canal. No I don't push the wax deeper (you just need to twist as you put it in). And no I've never in my 50 years had an ear infection or hurt the eardrum.
I have a 2nd gen NUC and it works well. But it's underpowered for my purposes.

JSON certainly isn't incompatible with HATEOAS in theory, but we have enough observational evidence at this point to conclude that it will not be used in practice, on any meaningful scale.

From the article:

HATEOAS is a constraint of the REST application architecture that distinguishes it from most other network application architectures.

The is the under-appreciated aspect of regular old HTML is that it satisfies this requirement, and that makes HTML-based applications fundamentally different than (nearly all) JSON-based applications.
Eh, they really don't work well for cleaning the ear canal, though.

I have ear canals that I thought needed to be cleaned regularly, until I stopped using Q-tips. Now they only seem to need to be cleaned once every 4 years or so (if I notice sound getting a bit muffled), with a syringe and sink full of warm water. I had thought the Q-tips were cleaning them, but were definitely causing more problems than they solved. (Ditto for ear drops, which didn't seem to help much. Just taking the time with a syringe & warm water is better).

My pediatrician uses little metal tools to clean out the kids' ears if needed. Better than a blunt, soft thing that can't easily get wax out rather than push it in, though of course you'd better hold still.
Interesting. Looks what happens when you add jQuery:

> Second, it hardly seems "anti-business" to require everyone (businesses included) to comply with the license agreements of the software they use.

Not if you are rooted. If you want to get really crazy you can even boot up a whole Debian image.

How do you claim on one hand that YC can materially improve your company, and on the other judge the company for not being improved after going through another accelerator?

Because they're not claiming credit for the success for their alumni, and they are also giving other accelerators the benefit of the doubt that they are good too, and acknowledging that the primary factor is the founders themselves. If they don't thrive after going through another accelerator than why would YC be any different? I don't see the conflict here at all.
I believe you, and in face-to-face conversation I'm sure your sincere curiosity would have been clear.
I've seen some of RMS's early work in relation to LMI, TI, and open source in the early days, before Linux. RMS has never been anti-business. Just anti the idea that closed-source software licensing is a sustainable business model. Very few people in any part of any flavor of FOSS are actively anti-business.

I don't see much "unabashed fawning", but even if you were right, it isn't hard to avoid either of these. In fact it's trivial if one wants to.
If you shower regularly and wash the parts of your ears that you can reach (as one does) you won't have problems with loose wax falling out of your ears during the day.
your english isnt the greatest but the points are reasonably sound.

in particular discovery is terrible - its worst - much worse than the altavista days. People don't seem to realize that 99.9% of the people see 0.0..1% of the content, always the same content, for all.

a browser that block all ads, trackers, etc can indeed provide the user data for a fee, since the browser always has access to all the data. not sure how it would access its own crawl index though, ie where does the index comes from?

> First of all, cleaning your ear canals with Q-Tips feels really good. That seems important, but they don't mention this at all.

Actually, they use almost the exact wording you used to explain this in the article:

> We continue to twist Q-tips in our ears thanks to a simple truth: It feels great.

I thought this was especially interesting. The thought of putting a Q-tip in my ear freaks me out big time. (Surely I've done it at least once, and I remember it making a loud noise, and it feeling like you're going to puncture your eardrum. And I have no real sensitivity in my ears, I've slept with earplugs every night for a decade!)
Nobody cares about your code (2015)
A lot of userland-stuff is GNU, Linux is the kernel. Kernel + Userland is OS!

So saying "GNU ... is the operating system for just about every single server running Linux" does not make sense.
It all depends on your context. If you are making a website, HTML on the mobile. If you're making an API, you can use JSON, just don't call it REST.

People seem to overlook RPC over HTTP. There is nothing wrong with that model. Look at the early RPC implementations. They look like objects with a set of wlverbs. A URI can be treated logically as an object. /users is an object. Implicit ops are the HTTP verbs. How you move between objects is probably API specific. If you are using JSON, it is API specific because JSON currently lacks linking capacity.
Cool, maybe now it'll be possible to obtain Atmel chips in quantity without ridiculous lead times.

I think you're mostly projecting here. Even if you were right, though, trying to get the rage needle in the red is the wrong way to approach the subject here. The HN community is genuinely interested in these problems.

Um, actually, that's exactly what every military working drug dog I've seen does. Source: spent a year as the legal officer on my first ship. Had a dog come to the course. Had a dog on the ship. And they definitely have a non-negligible false-positive rate. But, certainly, the video, as described, supports a cue.
> large parts of the GNU/Linux community are just irrational idealists hard to work with. ... Linus always said: He cares about the code back and otherwise not what vendors do with it.

I imagine they were called "irrational" when they started the FOSS movement and created the licenses and other tools that are part of it. Yet look what they built and what has been built on top of it. Now it's cool for people who benefit enormously from it, including Linus Torvalds, to disparage it. It's all lefty, hippy 'idealism' after all - if you ignore the enormous practical results.

What foundation are we building for the next generation of engineers and tinkerers? Spying and tracking systems? Closed proprietary silos (like smartphones and web applications)? HTTP/2 and systemd - which may be technically great, but don't provide that same freedom-to-tinker for future hackers.
I could use a fact check from a medical doctor here, but my recollection is that you do in fact need to wipe or otherwise wash your butt. If you didn't, the result would be skin irritation, rash, eventual sores, sepsis, and suppuration or abscess.

As a pragmatic matter, flossing your teeth will help to improve both the quality and duration of your life.
IIRC Microchip's 8-bit PIC line had poor/nonexistent GCC support because their terrible instruction set provided no way to maintain a data stack. Their own compiler just allocated everything statically.

Granted, it's (thankfully) been over a decade since I had to use a Microchip microcontroller, and they've presumably improved since. But Atmel got it right from the start. GCC-AVR produced beautiful assembly and their ISA was a joy to use. RIP Atmel.

I had this exact same thing happen to me coming into Oklahoma from Texas, while I was living in Dallas for a few years. I'm actually from Oklahoma, so I was going back to my Dad's at the time so I could renew my license plates.

One thing I will note is that I won't allow someone to tell me they think I am lying, if I'm not lying. I don't have to rationalize with someone who blames and speak for others. The best possible thing to do is get of of the car and lock it behind you and stuff your keys in your pants the absolute second you are stopped. When they start blaming and speaking for you, tell them they are doing so and you won't allow it. You can then keep your mouth shut until the officer makes a choice between hauling you in and towing the car, or letting you go.

Nobody has to make things "right" when there's nothing wrong to begin with.

By keeping the amount of stuff you say to one of these jackasses, and what they have access to, greatly limits their ability to fuck with you.
I hate Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon, in a good way. I mean, he is a super talented musician, singer and youtuber. And just recently I learned that he is also the CEO of Patreon? And I'm just a mediocre musician and an always aspiring founder. That's why I hate him, but not really.
This would seem to explain it. The shipping is subsidized, but not by the Chinese government, rather it is the recipient first world countries.
> No, don't. When I go to Amazon, it's not for goods dropshipped from China. It's for things I want delivered quick and from reputable manufacturers and sellers.

Which they do that anyways. Last few items that I got from amazon... now shipping from China. Even an American flag.

Working Hard but reaching nowhere – How should I work hard?
I joined this job recently at a well known tech firm where there are super smart people. 10 months in, I have been working quite hard, but not been able to meet the expectations of my team members. They are awesome people and I hate to let them down. It seems my hard work isn't paying off.

Question is "How do you work hard? What I might be missing? Feel free to ask my any followup questions. This situation has left me very low and sad.
I disagree. Newspapers were always terrible and full of heavily biased content. Same for most magazines.
My grandma used to use the loop side of a safety pin to clean her ears. I personally use q-tips but I only do the twist thing at the very entrance of the canal. The point is to keep a clean "appearance".
Heroku is probably the closest case study, in that they started as (and mostly remained in the popular conscience) a Ruby on Rails host. I believe they sold for $200+ million. Not a "unicorn", but not a small exit, for such a short period of time. They were only around as an independent company for a few years.
Joining a bad accelerator reflects poorly on the company (unless it was basically free money).

Either they couldn't get into a "good" accelerator or they didn't do their research.
jQuery filled a need.

It's as simple as that.

Its success has nothing to do with looking in the other direction or not redefining Javascript: it solved a problem that a lot of Javascript developers were struggling with.

Now what's really fascinating to me now is that while one can safely say jQuery created a revolution in the Javascript world when it came out, it is today widely looked as a smell and avoided as much as possible in favor or frameworks that modify the model instead of the UI.

And this quick rise to success and fall to obscurity could very well happen to the successful frameworks we are currently using today (including React).
Humans have two entirely different types of ear wax, determined by heredity, named "dry" ear wax and "wet" ear wax. I am mentioning this because I only came across the information recently, despite having had problems with itchy ears for years, and despite having participated in many discussions about ear wax. I can see that there are already some strong disagreements beginning here in the comments.

The two varieties have significantly different properties. "Dry" ear wax tends to be crumbly and flaky, and can usually be removed effectively with a curette (if you dare). "Wet" ear tends to be dark, smelly, and sticky.

I do not think that people with dry ear wax, in particular, really understand what people with "wet" ear wax are saying when they talk about ear wax buildup and removal.
Brave Software – Building a Better Web
I'm not sure. I haven't looked at it in a very long time. The open source implementations I know reasonably well are: Maxima (and therefore Sage), SymPy, and Axiom. I did some work on a integration test suite for Sage before I had to put it on hold. It was based on a suite from Axiom.

Hey folks, I'm the speaker in this video. Happy to answer any questions about IHaskell if you have any! You can install it using `cabal` or `stack` from Github [0].

By the way, if this stuff interests you -- Haskell, data analysis, interactive computing, science, visualization, etc -- please consider joining us at Karius. Karius is the biotech startup where I work, and we do a ton of really cool bioinformatics and high-performance data analysis and use Haskell for some of our infrastructure, and would love to hear from you. See our Who's Hiring post [1] for more info, or contact me!

Big thanks again to Joe for recording this, this was a fun talk to give and I hope you enjoyed it.

I was lucky enough to start reading the foundation series in chronological order at the start of this month and finished already. It was an amazing amalgamation of thoughts on possibilities, human nature, the potential of technology and the meaning of life and how we fit into it (particularly in Foundation and Earth).

My favorite part of reading the books though is realizing how things that seem impossible are always being made possible. Computers have evolved near to the point where they were in his foundation novels - space tech not so much - but with passion and resources so much can be created. It's humbling and empowering to see the world through his eyes.
Unless this comment is from SMM team at Meteor, WTF? What is NPM market :)? "Bare metal" npm? Name single sizable project that uses Meteor? You do realise that for 90% of enterprise projects it's a wrong tool. There is no usable universial/isomorphic option, you can't expose API for external consumption, if you have to consume services on the backend the only cool feature that Meteor has is gone. Not to mention long term risks of what will happen to the project when vc funding runs out.
