Ember is fantastic, the oldest projects I have are about 4 years old and have been (more-or-less) painlessly upgraded every now and again. Everything is ember-cli and ember-cli-deploy now. Time and time again it shows that Ember is a community project that has a strong focus on scalability and maintainability over time.

I also do a lot of work in Angular and React (this year) and all the tooling, build, best practices change every couple of months.

A lot of people complain about Ember's learning curve, but the things you learn _stay relevant_. Personally I'd rather invest in that kind of knowledge than learning yet another arbitrary build system.
HN hit this hard. Down for now.

Why the US Is Buying Up So Many UK Artificial Intelligence Companies
It is incorrect to consider this form of AI as an "intelligence", and it's definitely not "alien". The hype train is a bit ridiculous, and even DeepMind and Google isn't go as far as to state that "humans are overfitted". That is hilarious.

That rule (the one I learned in primary school) does apply only to nouns. I'm not suggesting my primary school teacher's rule is the correct, most popular or best rule :)

Kenneth Pennington, the 25-year-old Digital Director for Bernie 2016, might be able to help if you have a way to get in touch with him
Agreed. I used to use grid systems, but being able to wholeheartedly embrace flexbox and border-box has meant that I really don't need to use them these days. Want to do percentage width and fill the rest of the container? Easy-peasy. Want to not specify specific widths but make one thing bigger than another in a relative way, that adapts to the viewport powerfully? No problems.

Hell, the only reason I use Bootstrap is for it's buttons and forms, etc. which nowadays I've replaced with PureCSS; and the best part about PureCSS is that I can use the bits I want and ignore the rest. Bootstrap can also do that, but requires a preprocessor like Sass or Less (v4 and v3 respectively).
> NPM has trouble weekly

Interesting. We deploy daily, always fresh from NPM at each deployment stage and have never had an issue with NPM. We had one legacy dependency downloading from github (ugh) which caused an issue the last time it went down, but we quickly sorted that out.
Two things:

1) I didn't necessarily mean exactly Solomonoff induction, as what I was describing would be for finding a single good description, rather than making good predictions using a weighted combinations of many descriptions.

2)Well, whether they would have experiences is a topic which is of some debate I think. They would behave as if they did, but, would they? If the simulation is run twice concurrently, are the experiences had twice as much?
There are all sorts of potential complications with things like computation with secret sharing schemes, and so I don't think the question is really settled.

____

My point was that even if something describes what occurs, what particles end up in what configurations, that doesn't seem to be a description of what is experienced, even if it predicts how people will self report their experiences, and give causal explanations for their self reporting of their internal experience.
I also tried neovims terminal support and I must say I really like it. The reason is that you have a consistent way to mark and copy text from your terminal buffer(it basically works like in the editor).
I had some other issues with nvim, which why I'm not yet settled on using it. I also like abduco for connection management.I'm currently using i3wm and a combination of some other tools such as parcelite to make sure that the copy and paste buffers are synchronized. I'm still looking for a simple way to be able to select something from the terminal buffer and copy it to somewhere else without the need of some complicated key bindings (e.g. not using screen or tmux). neovims terminal works well for this use case.

I don't have the need to run a complicated dev enviroment using only terminal windows on some remote server. I would rather run i3wm and use NX to connect (its fast enough) if I had that use case.
> I can't help but think this is just a whole bunch of people up in arms about not wanting to learn something 'all the cool kids' are.

There may be that. There's also:

a) Some of us are old enough to have mortages/kids/parents to support/houses needing renovation/desire a balanced life. We value skills that stay useful, and don't have the free time to keep learning variants of the same again and again*

b) Companies we work at/for value stability. They look at IT choices on a 5+year horizon; they don't have VC money to burn to 'rewrite' when JavaScript framework X no longer works.
Which am I more likely to get sacked for? 1) Not using the cool thing and us missing out, or 2) using the cool thing and having to explain in 18 months time that we need another $20,000 to rewrite it into the Next Cool Thing?

Before you write us off, please do a 360 and see what the field looks like from other perspectives.

* I didn't say 'don't have time to learn'. We learn - but what we learn is evaluated carefully, and we have a much wider field to learn (Programming/Management/PM/Negotation - just a few of the core work-focused skills)

I find it particularly clever. What they are telling is that this is body for a human to occupy. Sensation and sound of breathing is simulated for him.

He's still in bit of a shock of waking up not in his own body. I guess pulling was instinctive reaction upon seeing it and finding a (painless) hole in the side of his face.
All of which are useless if you don't have Apple's signing key.

The code to ignore the lockout is quite possibly a 1 line fix.

That was bothering me too.

At least, it is not a typo from ubernostrum, it's spelled "defence" in the original [1].

Moreover that's the British spelling of defense (is there a link with the lack of capital?).

Also note that, instead of "Blessings", it is "Bleſsings" in the original. But they are roughly equivalent if you apply a compatibility decomposition in your unicode normalization (NFKD/NFKC).

So where is the edit button for that constitution? Or do they only accept pull requests?

I agree, but of course the people who argue against cash on convenience argue on the grounds that using cash you have to carry around different denominations, risk losing it etc.

My belief is that the biggest weakness of a solution is generally a side-effect of its greatest strength, in this case the need to carry around cash in different amounts and risk losing it, having it stolen are necessary in order to have something so easy to exchange among people.
Browser support. Desktop Safari's flex support was notoriously buggy, but I see that they've fixed it with El Capitan. The next major release of Bootstrap will have a flexbox mode AFAIK.

Good point. I actually don't understand its behaviour in regard to viewport width. Also, there are actually no media queries used in the CSS file.
This problem plagues a lot of sites actually. Create an empty profile on a site like soundcloud, do nothing with it, the click farmers will still find you and follow you to masquerade their true targets (their clients who paid for follows). Even though soundcloud isn't paying them there is still incentive to click fraud, even facebook is known to have this issue, and twitter.

Sure. But by forcing you to go through RDS even if you migrate X->RDS->Y, they are halfway there.

In the process you need to set up an AWS account, create a RDS database, import your data into it... and perhaps you stop there despite the initial plans. Or use RDS for your next project, since you are already more familiar with it.

I've tried Jitsi a lot but on Linux, it just doesn't work well, many little bugs make it unreliable :-(
Individual organisms are incredibly reliable when you consider the range of functions they perform. Compare, say, a quadcopter drone (or any other small air vehicle) with a parrot.

Lifespan without service or repair? Drone, weeks. Parrot, decades.

Autonomy before recharging/refueling? Drone, 20 minutes. Parrot, hours to days.

Cognitive faculties? Drone, slim to none. Parrot, long term autonomous in complex environments.

Reproduction? We can't build things that do that at all yet, let alone pack one into a 1kg autonomous aircraft.

Yes, we can build simple machines to replicate one function of a living creature, and those machines will be more reliable over short durations, but only because they are orders of magnitude simpler. You might as well call an LCD screen "unreliable" because it won't outlast a photograph.

Another option is to run your own. I guess it's swings and roundabouts concerning privacy, traceability and so on. I have a script to automate setup of an IKEv2 server on Ubuntu, which seems nice for a balance of security and the availability of built-in clients. I was inspired to set this up by the awful proposed Investigatory Powers Bill going through in the UK.

It's actually worse on mobile, because mobile connections typically are not order of magnitude slower than non-mobile, but mobile cpu power can be order of magnitude more limited (esp. on lower end hardware).

Ofcourse there is a downside... The loss of liberty being the most basic and obvious.

The FAA regulating, or banning something is them taking a liberty from me. In a free society in order to take my liberty it must only be done after all other avenues of solving the perceived problem have been explored and eliminated.

It damn sure should not be allowed simply out of "an abundance of caution" over a perceived problems that may not actually exist.

Under your world view everything is banned by default unless the government chooses to allow it... That is the opposite of a free society.

The whole thing is a charade. Since the Snowden revelations we know that:

- the NSA has access to any information it wants, with (coerced or not) collaboration from US companies

- the affected companies can not talk about it. In fact, they are forced to deny any kind of interference, backdoor or collanoration.

The outcome of this trial does not matter. If Apple loses, it will give the impression that it fights for users rights, if it wins it will give the false impression that we have secure comunications.

Wombat: get more people using your app [private beta]
Why is everyone so anxious about this? That's the part that confuses me. When we introduced a library for a new project (at a Big Old Media Company with a team varying from interns, to working-70-hours-a-week millennials, to 9-5 family people) it was fine. If someone had something to learn about one of the 5 APIs, they read the entire library documentation (which takes like 20 minutes) or just turned around and asked someone.\

I'm not convinced we found the only developers who like React, but it does seem like there's a certain audience of people (which overlaps heavily with HN) who love to complain about their self-inflicted anxiety.
Could I be your iOS Product Owner for a few hours per week?
hi there, I create iOS apps for my clients at present, but more and more im meeting teams of lesser skilled developers that might need occasional help with their app. Im thinking of starting a service whereby a team can hire me on a 1-2 hrs per week ongoing contract, after an initial day or two consultation where I can get to understand the app and the domain, I will effectively become the Product Director where any decisions can be run by me for an experienced opinion. Just as a background i have been creating Mobile Apps since 2000 and for iOS exclusively since 2008, I operate using Lean / Agile Principles. Is this a service that sounds like it could be of interest to you?

> how we are expected a learn a full-stack like Mongo/Angular/Backbone and then 6 months later is like NO we need AWS/React/Redux now!

I live under the assumption that you don't have to. The thing you should figure out is: finding a stack that suits your needs (and the needs of your customers) best.
If you find it, is is perfectly reasonable to beeing a bit more conservative and stick with it. On the backend for example I used rails for years, and with good reason. I am not planning to switch, but I am open enough to consider my options and experiment with other stuff. I know there are (maybe pretty good) alternatives: enterprisey Java-frameworks; good old django; nodejs; experimental stuff with erlang or haskell.

I think the frontend/js-world is not so much different. You don't have to know every framework, because it is the latest hot shit... It is not wrong knowing the strenghts and weaknesses of new frameworks, but you don't have to use and adopt to everything thats new.
f there was some meaningful need for black cats to step on mirrors, I might care that the firefighters are serving some weird agenda, but I don't see any need for (especially private, unregistered) cats to be allowed near mirrors, so I don't even care if the firefighters are just objecting for the lulz.
There is no perfect, but I think that by ordinary police standards in any developed country, not trying to investigate this kind of perp's phones would be too imperfect. It would be sloppy police work and any police officer deciding not to try to inspect the phone would be vulnerable to accusations of misconduct.

That doesn't mean that I agree that Apple should be forced to break the encryption. It means the police really have a duty to investigate.

Proofs in software are more complicated than that. For something like flash, you could have proofs that it handles corrupt, either intentionally or unintentionally, data without blowing up.

Then again, I'm one to believe that we need to focus more on capabilities systems, and other ways to ensure applications can only do what they want to do. Look at something like the rowhammer attack. Being able to break out of a sandbox through completely valid code is something we should be looking at mitigating as well.
The answer to a slightly different question is quite simple: how did life get so reliable? First, we should define what it is that it is reliable at. Particular organisms are, of course, far from reliable, but if we look at life as a whole, it is very reliable in doing one thing: ensuring that at any time there's at least a single copy of the program (genetic matter) that is in a runnable condition. How is it so reliable at that?

1. The goal is rather simple.
2. The time and energy (the computational effort) required to arrive at that first viable self-replicating molecule was huge.
3. The computational effort of the constant required maintenance is also similarly huge.
