Adding emphasis to an empty word doesn't give it meaning. You answered my question but first you prefaced with asking me why I can't read your mind.
Visa's product is almost entirely orthogonal to Bitcoin. It has a fairly high service fee, which provides a (worthwhile) service of insuring both the customer and the merchant against misdoings by the other, that is, offering payments that can be reversed in the far future. It's centralized, and humans can reverse payments. It discriminates strongly on what fields they're willing to serve payments for. It requires not only identities but background checks of both customers and merchants, and can permanently shut down a customer or merchant they don't want to serve any more. It provides credit.

If they really felt threatened by Bitcoin, they would have changed any one of those things. Bitcoin doesn't even have an HTTP API, so adding one doesn't help you compete.
My favorite part is when they align the golden ratio to get the white curve "just right"... and then just do a bunch of other random shit w/ the stripe. SCIENCE!

Hi Smoyer,

We have pushed through the update, may still be some caching issues. Try loading http://www.csfieldguide.org.nz/ with a clear cache (or in an incognito browser), you should see a page with an indigo background. The Sphinx version is our old website.
It is probably very American. A lot of zoning regulation emerged from racist white flight ideology where, as the middle class white families fled urban settings, they pushed new suburban townships and urban sprawl they caused to adopt extremely tight building regulations to push the cost of construction so high the "inferior" races couldn't afford to tarnish their beautiful communities.

And this isn't some long ago historical thing. This was the 50s and 60s.
TPM support caught my eye. Brushing off the controversy surrounding EFI secure boot, the TPM is the under-appreciated "Secure Element" in business laptops and high end servers.
Point's waaaaaay over there, dude. This isn't about what is or should be. It's about what people perceive and how that affects their decisions. People who've been programming twice as long as the JVM has existed might still have a few funny ideas about it.
I spent 1 minute looking and then I left. Stripe has all my business. I "signed up" without ever signing up. Stripe has a perfect customer acquisition funnel.
Unfortunately you just need to hack keybase and serve malicious code. It doesnt matter if its signed if my malicious code tells you the signature verification succeeded.

Client side needs versioned code to make this harder. Including signed, versioned javascript code, automagically.

This will also make alterations of web sites code a lot easier to detect.
That does not work - I have to log in with the command line client, which fails because I it doesn't have GPG sign with the correct key. Edit: Managed to get it to work by restoring a backed up keyring from before I updated my keys.
I remember when this was leaked. I'm almost positive it's real, and not only that, but Pepsi spent $1 Million on it.

Try this: `class extends Component { foo = () => { console.log('this was bound at construction time'); }; render() { return <SubComponent foo={this.foo} />; } }` This only works if you have stage-1 class properties enabled though.
That sounds a great find, its minimal simple and very easy to indentify. Doent it looks like new Uber logo?
> Adding emphasis to an empty word doesn't give it meaning.

It's not an empty word, it's a very important semantic detail about what I was actually saying. It was chosen specifically and purposefully to transmit that information. If you dismissed it as "an empty word", then the fault of this miscommunication is on your end.

> You answered my question but first you prefaced with asking me why I can't read your mind.

You chose to discard the information I already provided. You don't need to read my mind when every clue you need to piece together the intended meaning is written on the screen in front of you. (Or, if you're blind, maybe you experienced it as an audio stream?)
Certainly not Visual Studio. Maybe it'll be taken seriously again if it were ported to the platforms where development is happening nowadays.
Thanks. I havnt checked Uber logo.
Why do the sales people need to be on a different floor?
I just went through a rather large profiling/optimization run on the my site, BitMEX (we're a Bitcoin derivatives exchange). Performance is paramount in trading, so our site has to be fast. Here's some additional tips:

0. shouldComponentUpdate (SCU) is everything. Consider creating a base React.Element extension class. I define a base shouldComponentUpdate and some useful utilities on it. Having it in one place is really useful because you can log its output from every component and watch how your whole application updates. It makes it easy to see useless rerenders.

- One very helpful addition in our app has been a static 'SCUSelector' property, which tells our shallow shouldComponentUpdate to ignore certain props/state/context. This helps in combination with rich componentWillMount() or getInitialState() functions to precalculate expensive data that updates rarely/never.

1. It seems the `connect(component, selector)` model [0] encouraged by Redux to hook up application data to deep(er) components is much better for performance. You want to avoid renders in as many tree branches as possible. To this day, the root element (`<App>`) still holds most of our data and fans it out to the Router, Header, Sidebar, etc. This root-level render must be extremely fast because it runs on every tick. Hoisting any and all data that can be made constant is a huge help.

2. We saw massive (50%+) performance gains from Babel's constant-elements and inline-elements optimizations [1]. Careful with it - there's is a nasty bug [2] that only manifests in production you need to be aware of if you're deploying this.

3. Immutable-JS is kind of a wash. I'm not a big fan of the API or how easy it is to nest mutable objects and arrays inside immutables. The new array/object spread syntax in ES6 makes it easier to construct unique objects every time data updates, so you can do a shallow shouldComponentUpdate.

4. Watch out for function identity because it will blow SCU [3]. Either ignore the property explicitly, or use a binding helper like the one I posted on that issue [4].

5. If you're doing expensive data computation, such as update/insert/delete/image on websockets, profile it. If you're accidentally causing deopt, you'll feel it. Make sure the libraries you use don't cause deopt either. A few simple tweaks [5] can give you 2-10x performance boosts on hot functions [6].

6. If you haven't already, watch videos on how V8 optimizes. It will help you write fast code in the future.

7. Keep watching your app! The new React devtools can highlight components as they update. This is really useful to see what work is being done and how you can improve.

Looks like they have support for the nexus 5: http://maruos.com/#/hardware
Because courts adjudicate laws, and it's the laws that are broken. The alternative would be courts that just make up their own versions of the law, which has its own problems. Among those is the tendency for patent trolls (or their equivalents in other kinds of cases) bringing suit in whichever jurisdiction is friendliest to them, and there's entirely too much of that going on in East Texas already.
Why did you use the word 'brogrammers' instead of programmers?
What's interesting about this is that it appears they did! Very very early SB models exist and tested MUCH better than the first run of production hardware. You can find a lot of early reviews that praise the battery life, etc.

Then the first wave of consumer-facing SBs went out and it was a total disaster. This might be something that Microsoft can fix, because they have dramatically improved the product experience and been very receptive to trading defective hardware. Mine was traded up the instant they looked at it, with apologies and a customer care call.

> they should have tested Skylake, and it in the Surface Pro 4 prototypes, detected the problem, and delayed the launch. Intel's problem became their's when they shipped it in their hardware.

Did you say the same thing when Apple shipped a massive defect rate on their first gen retina macbooks? Because they DID test thouse, and they still ended up shipping a truly phenomenal number of lemon screens with huge defect and failure rates.

Oh, and Apple refused to replace all but the most egregious failures. I still have a machine with such significant ghosting that it can be difficult to use. Ironically, DaringFireball is actually unreadable. I keep this machine around because it was part of a very special segment of my life, but also because I like showing people, "Yes even Apple's legendary hardware is rife with first gen bugs, and your iPhones and hypothetical new macbooks are no different."
That isn't adequate. The reason LXC languished and Docker took off is because of immutable images, layers, Dockerfiles, and push/pull. If OCI has none of those then it is pointless.
Hmm, both services look nice but don't appear to support Sphinx. Would that be a possibility at some point?
> that can't handle refunds

Please stop spreading this idiotic nonsense. Bitcoin, for all its faults, can handle refunds just fine. It just requires a different model than CCs do. You might as well say "cash can't handle refunds"...
The fact that Skylake was totally out of cycle with Apple's usual release efforts might have something to do with it. MS was in an unusual position.
Then no. The point being laws and court decisions can be as specific as needed.
I know you're being sarcastic, but California and NY combined have nearly 20% of the population of the US.

In the US, the most prosperous states are definitely also the most populous.
Github feels like a services company, not software. Maybe they always have been. But that means they may lack the talent to deliver enterprise-level features. Their API and extremely coarse permission don't even let you build your own. If that's your problem then it makes sense to bring in a new VP of Engineering. But the new CEO certainly hasn't done anything to inspire confidence since he took over.
I would love an invite in anyone has one. Email in my profile. Thanks!
Why You Should Take Your Personal Life as Seriously as Your Career
Getting upset about the TPP is a waste of time. The provisions of the TPP are a red herring. We should be much more concerned with what is not present in the TPP. It only has 12 signatories!!! There are 160+ "countries" in the world. How much could an agreement between 12 of them really increase "free trade?" There are notable absences (CHINA) that make the treaty effectively meaningless. If 30% of the world is not covered by it, then who cares what it says.

The people getting screwed by this treaty are not the spoiled first world EFF supporters, but the people who assemble all our gadgets and gizmos. If you want an agreement that actually benefits humankind, it better include some protections for the outsourced labor that first world nations continue to exploit.

Regarding the fearmongering bulletpoints in the EFF article... Let's be honest. Any mildly technical person knows that these kind of legal measures are technically impossible to enforce. If you want to bend or break the rules, you can find a way, and you can avoid detection. "The Internet routes around censorship" as John Gilmore says. He's also an EFF founder so I'm not sure why EFF is fearmongering so much when they should know these measures are meaningless until they're enforced, which will require implementing impossible, nonexistent technical solutions.

If you don't like the rules, route around them. Or just leave the country trying to enforce them on you. There are 150 other countries you can go to if you don't like these rules.

Honestly the concern over this treaty is so overblown that it almost seems insensitive to the people in the world who are actually suffering from global commerce. The real victims are the millions of people starving, working 12 hour days as children, losing their families to warmongering nation states, and running along a hopeless treadmill of despair.

If you're going to get upset over what amounts to a relatively small set of unimplemented, highly unenforceable rules affecting your "digital rights," then you should at least devote 1% of your complaints to acknowledging the plights of the people who are actually suffering in the world.
Because is harder to develop for developers.

I'm dreaming to revive the kind of development made famous by FoxPro/dbase (or more exactly, mix Acces+Excel+Databases).

Form building is another area that is far more complex that it need to be. The problem now is the multi-platform: Everyone (or most) want it, but not good toolkit exist to work on...
Well as an engineer, I think we all know that manufacturing defects can creep in even after prototypes pass.

It's also the case that it's incredibly hard to test things like battery life, wifi connectivity and the effects of heavy processor workloads in a systematic way. You hope that your vendors do a good job (and I bet Microsoft's contract with Intel involves penalties for these major defects to try and incentivize Intel to handle these).

Look at the first Iphone4. How did they miss something as simple as skin contact causing significant antenna interference? Most of us hit it immediately. The answer: hardware in the real world is really hard.

Simple answer is: Yes.

Though, I am of the belief that any scroll-jacking leads to a bad experience. It goes against what the brain expects and is almost never "delightful" enough to make up for the inability to exert normal movement control over the page.

If someone can find a way to do it that doesn't feel claustrophobic and like something is frozen or wrong, then maybe I'll change my tune, but it's always just given me a negative feeling when I encounter it.
The Unreal, Eerie Emptiness of China’s ‘Ghost Cities’
I went looking around for other opinions after leaving my other answer and found this SO question. You might be interested in glancing over it:
http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/53086/are-reg...

It made me rethink a few of the ways I've used regions previously. As a stopgap for refactoring legacy code, though, I'm still not 100% sold.

Like a lot of articles here, the comments and the back and forth are as interesting as the answer. I think right now I'd say that, used carefully, there's nothing implicitly wrong with regions, but overall it's probably better to avoid them. Honestly, I'll probably have to do a little more digging and see where it comes out.

They're reminding me of comments in general at this point, where there's nothing implicitly wrong with them, but every time you write one you should be asking yourself if you could clearly bake that intention/information into the code itself.
> The income of low-income workers is spent back into the economy

I think this statement vastly underestimates how much money is remitted back home by foreign workers - even low-income workers. In Canada, we lose about 24 billion USD every year this way [1].

I wonder how many places will report this with the headline: "Study finds majority of all cancers are not preventable"

I can't tell exactly what this does mean... does it really mean most cancers are just not preventable? If 45% are preventable, then are the rest NOT? The risks [0] are pretty obvious. The "Other Risks" [1] are rather interesting though.

Five Ways to Tell a Battle Isn't Worth Fighting
It bugs me when people suggest I'm "contrarian", because I do not as a rule arrive at positions by trying to think of the opposite of what the prevailing sentiment on HN will be.

In this case, though: the site is positively littered with things I've said about TPP.

Short summary: I'm ambivalent about TPP, dismissive of the notion that it's a secret conspiracy, and irritated by advocacy writing that suggests it is one. That's about it.

I immediately acknowledge that I have a big blind spot about TPP: I'm an American, and TPP has only a marginal impact on US public policy, but a pretty significant impact on countries in Asia that had policies different from those of the US.
We got 10 CEOs to tell us their one killer interview question for new hires
The article, at best, seems inconclusive...

I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail years ago...admittedly, I was walking, with a pack, not running...

If I was within sight of shelter (a rarity) I sometimes trotted, and stayed a bit dryer...usually I just walked on, smiled, and tried to find things to enjoy...

One thing I learned was that it didn't matter one whit if I got wet when hypothermia was not a factor...the only important thing was whether or not, once I'd enjoyed the rain, I had dry clothes in my pack to change into while I cooked my supper...

I think we undervalue the good feeling rain falling on us offers...kids instinctively experience it as something special and dance around in it...imagine that...

We could re-learn things from them...rain's nothing to fear...

As an investor I am familiar with often-cited data that shows how small and mid cap stocks have traditionally outperformed large cap stocks over time. I wonder if this cherry picking of returns whereby the fastest growing small companies leapfrog the public capital markets completely and only go public once they've captured the majority of returns will impact this historical trend.

And then someone blew that box up in order to knock out alarms while they committed a robbery...

I think that's an awesome sentiment if you're talking about something like an Arduino, where part of the experience is working around its quirks and limitations. If you've bought a device expecting it to basically be a transparent window into the internet (or your documents, etc.), having to deal with its quirks and limitations can put a really bad taste in your mouth. Especially if you paid top dollar for it.

I remember a comment once that pagination could be a sign that you need to provide better filtering or search options. Not so relevant for online comics, but consider a store where you're in the Camping section and there are 800 results.

The user is likely to be better off with sub-category filters (tents, sleeping bags, etc) or a nice, fat search box with auto-complete.

My pet peeve with pagination is when the default items-per-page is something pitiful like 10 when it could be 50-100. NameCheap did this for a long time when listing your products in the Control Panel - it was agonising!
I can't speak for the gp, but they were talking about inheriting a project/legacy code.

If I end up needing to go through legacy code, and there are a lot of gnarly, long methods/blocks, I'll usually add comments and regions to it as I go along. I'll use comments if I just want to note something, and a region if I want to note something about a region of code. It's my rough map. Being able to tell Visual Studio to arbitrarily collapse an area is handy for sketching it. The long term goal is to refactor, but it's handy as a way to quickly outline things.
