I'm standing at my desk in my apartment that I pay $1589/month for. An equivalent apartment in SF or NYC would be $3500 or higher.

The problems are two-fold.

1) Vancouver hasn't created a single-family detached home lot since the 1970s. There is an ocean to the west, the US border to the south, Burrard Inlet and mountains to the north. There just isn't any land. The only way to expand is east into the Fraser Valley.

The single-family detached home is dead. Live in a condo. Everyone gets a view. Everyone gets sunshine. Everyone gets services. Everyone gets a park a block away.

2) Vancouver companies pay dick-all for salaries because Vancouver companies make dick-all for revenue. Everyone that lives here and can afford works or consults for a company that is not from Vancouver. A tech company that can't afford to pay an employee to rent a $1589/month apartment is not a tech company.
I'm not sure what you are referring to? It has been LGPLv3 currently was LGPLv2.1 but v2.1 is not recommended anymore so they dropped it. "LGPLv2.1 is an older version and not recommended by the Free Software Foundation for new projects anymore."

It's dual licensed and it is rather prominent everywhere on their webpage that it is a dual licensed Open Sourced / Commercial project. I have found Qt to be very Open/Free friendly, unless you have other evidence to prove other wise?

If your referring to the commercial aspect I'm not sure since I only use the LGPL license.

Pretty big. If you want to use LGPL Qt you need to dynamically link, so deploying will get you around 20 MB of libraries. You can do a command line JUCE app in a few hundred KB, or a GUI app in not much more.

> This is a biased and uninformative opinion. You haven't seriously tried it

Correct. I wasn't asked for anything deep here and I already told everyone I haven't seriously used it...

> yet you're already strongly against it and your biases suggest there are obscure transpiling bugs when I've yet to see any in practice.

I'm against any tranpiling languages. I'm glad you've never seen any in practice. I have with CoffeeScript and it cost me a huge amount of time. But like I've mentioned in multiple threads here I understand that's an extremely rare edge case at this point in time.

That's not the only reason I've cited though. Transpiling adds in an extra level of complexity. I hate complexity. In order to test changes you have to transpile the code after your changes before you can test them. Yeah you can automate it but now I'm adding extra packages to my application only so I can run slightly different code than before.

No thanks. I like simplification. As simple as I can make something the better.

> Had you used it for any length of time you would've noticed it catches several bugs which you otherwise wouldn't discover until runtime.

Maybe? Since I've been using dynamic languages without runtime checking for over a decade I'd like to imagine I'm pretty good at finding most of these issues ahead of time. Still, it gets compiled into a less strict language so it's not a silver bullet by any means.

> You're also waiting for the "magical" WebAssembly target that makes everything better, but instead WebAssembly would end up generating much more unreadable code that runs much slower for JavaScript which already benefits from highly optimized JS VM's in Browsers.

I'm curious, why would you think it would run slower. According to the V8 team its start-up is faster and it uses the same engine so the speeds so be equivalent.

Regardless the code being "unreadable" for WebAssembly doesn't matter. Do you care that bytecode is "unreadable" or MSIL? I highly doubt you do. Same thing here. WebAssembly is going to exist inside and outside of web browsers. But we're also a long way off.

> It would also much larger in size as it would require embedding its own GC and be littered with numerous type-checks in order to support a highly dynamic language like JavaScript.

Wait, why? The V8's team's announcement said they still have to implement GC, etc for the DOM but that stuff would exist in the WebAssembly implementation itself and has nothing to do with your code.

WebAssembly is still a ways off but I'm excited at the possibilities.

I'm also not trying to match minimum spec, if I'm going to spend money upgrading for VR, I would want something that will last at least a few years, so I looked into (reasonably) top-of-the-line hardware.

I love Typescript, I do all my javascript coding via it.

However, Though I wish it were, Typescript is NOT currently suitable for defining modules for external consumption. The problem comes down to no effective means of publishing the typings of your project and your project's dependencies. For example, if your project uses Promises, you might choose to include a definition of those promises, or (worse) reference a Promise typing you found on DefinitelyTyped. This will work fine for you, the publisher. But any consumer of your project will be rudely greeted with typing collisions: Things like "The interface 'Promise' already exists in es6.d.ts"

There needs to be a solution to this module publishing problem before people can seriously publish modules (using NPM) using Typescript. Unfortunately, I have been tracking this issue and there is no timeline for resolving it, mostly due to too many different module systems, and handling module publishing being outside the design-scope of Typescript.

> That is the law decides who may or may not own or access a certain type of data with penalties upon tort or criminality.

What if criminals are willing to break those laws? (That's kind of the definition of criminals, after all.) Who cares, you say, because data isn't sacrosanct? Well, some of the data we'd like to protect is financial, and criminals can use it to steal my money, so I care.

What if foreign governments are willing to break those (US) laws? Again, who cares, you ask? Well, if I'm a company facing foreign competition, and the foreign government is willing to do economic espionage to help their companies, then I care. And if I'm the US government or military, I definitely care.

What if the US government is willing to break those laws? It'll never happen, you say? Read some history. It's happened before, and it will again.

The law only protects me against people willing to obey the law. I also need protection against those unwilling to obey the law.
Amazon should definitely be feeling the pressure from Google on this. Per-hour billing has always been a pain to manage for offline/batch workloads.

If you're interested in leveraging advanced cost-saving techniques on AWS compute and storage, we're currently building something in the cloud HPC space that does exactly this. Nothing public yet, but email in my profile for more.
Our system automatically manages elastic fleets of instances and right-sizes instances to their workloads (including spot and lambdas), and also makes it easy to reduce TCO on storage. It's agnostic in terms of deployment (hosted vs. bring-your-own-VPC).

> the underlying issue appears not being able to trust and administer your own computing device

I'm not sure it's wise to trust your phone these days. I can root and install a custom ROM, but that doesn't solve the problem. What ROM do you recommend? Most are forks of Android that change some features or remove bloatware; I don't know one that locks down the fundemental security of the OS.

> From what I can tell a local firewall is possible (with iptables)

How can you efficiently configure iptables?

1) Run each app in isolation

2) Sniff network traffic

3) Detect and identify every packet heading to an undesirable destination

4) Write a rule to block it

5) Retest until traffic is clean

6) Repeat every time any software is added or updated.

That's not practical. Also, some of the leakage is embedded so deeply in the OS that I don't know if iptables (or other software firewalls) are sufficient.
bots like these seem to be a natural way to work around github's limitations. realistically, they won't be able to support everyone's use case, but they can provide a platform where lots of different tools can be integrated together.

unfortunately, bots like these are very annoying to write right now. at least one reason is that there is no github event for editing comments. if you try to use webhook events to mirror comments made in github to another code review tool, you will quickly drift out of sync if those comments are edited in github. instead, you have to implement polling, which comes with it's own set of challenges.

also, in general, the event formats are pretty inconsistent. as a random example, in the push event the repo owner only includes name and email, while in the commit comment event the repo owner includes all sorts of information about stars, followers, etc... there are inconsistencies like that all over the place, which means you might need to implement additional API requests for some events and not others.

on a somewhat related note, i've seen a lot of speculation in the open-source community that the reason open-source is getting so little attention from Github is that they're focusing on enterprise customers. i can say that as a somewhat-large enterprise customer, i have yet to get a single issue addressed. examples like above (add a comment-edited and PR-edited event) have been in the ask 6 months or more.
I would use Typescript, but its type system isn't smart enough to handle the complexity of JS ecosystem. The other day I wanted to move my project to typescript, the first module needed ambient definition that didn't exist in Definitely Typed repo, it was quite annoying to create, and I am not even sure it's correct, then I wanted to type some parsed JSon that had a TYPE_NAME property with a string giving its type, it's basically tagged union and it doesn't exist in Typescript but only in Flow ... but flow doesn't work on Windows.

> You really think a TS->WebAssembly compiler is less likely to have bugs than a TS->JS transpiler (which essentially just strips out the type annotations)? Yeah, no.

Absolutely. Why wouldn't it? Converting to a very explicit byte code type environment versus a language meant to be used by humans?

> I have no idea how these things are relevant. Why would adding type annotations to your code affect your ability to write unit tests. What does dogfooding have to do with anything?

The context of the discussion was around creating libraries for everyone to consume. If you're not testing your code as if it's being run from just JavaScript then you have a blindspot.

TypeScript is not only annotations. Check out the code it generates to support those annotations.

> This seems to be a direct result of capital flight from China.

It's even happening to tiny PEI in the east we have seen a massive surge of Chinese people (to clarify yes from China) investing in and living in the province.

Five years ago you could walk down the street and it was typical small town Canada last summer I went to a Starbucks and every single person was Chinese. There are now at least two if not three Buddhist monasteries too.

I'm not complaining I like the new investment and more people living here I'm saying it's not just a Vancouver or Toronto thing. Although here it's more business investing here not so much speculative condo buying.
If property values were tied directly to incomes, as they are in any normal market, and what you are saying is true about salaries being low, the Vancouver market would not be as hot as it is right now.

The market is being artificially inflated by foreign buyers. Don't forget that Vancouver is a very attractive destination for wealthy Chinese multi-nationals. This is the same phenomenon that has wealthy Chinese buying $5 million luxury apartments in Manhattan through shell companies to hide their identity.

How to Respond to a DDoS Ransom Note
The key point of the 10th amendment of the US constitution [0] is that the people already _have_ the rights, and do not need to have them "granted" - rather, the rights of the national state are limited. The constitution grants powers to the government and individual states, and the remaining powers and rights are already the people's.

> The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This is in contrast to many prior systems of government, where the privileges available to a populace were whatever the monarch decided they could do, or which they had extracted as concessions from the monarchs via agreements like the Magna Carta.

Show HN: Virtual Impact of a player on a T20 cricket match
It has occurred to me recently that 12 random words from a 2000 word dictionary will give you 132 bits on entropy. More that you will ever need.

There's a number of advantages to this scheme:

- It's easy to write down and put in a safe.

- No funny characters required.

- Not case-sensitive.

- If a user makes a spelling error, we can correct it for him without any compromise in security.

- Guaranteed to be free from offensive words, unlike a randomly generated password.

- People are using words anyways, misspelled if necessary, whether we like it or not.

We can also make it even more user-friendly by carefully degrading security, such as trying common word substitutions for the forgetful users, or doing some kind of middle-ground "remember me" that does not let you straight in, but only demands first three words (to keep the family members at bay). Like I said, this required careful calculations as to how much security is sacrificed when we do that.

"what has US done right to remain talent magnet"

It sells itself better. Given the same conditions, an US offer will sound better because the benefits (the pay) will be highlighted while the drawbacks will be presented in a lesser manner or even hidden from view entirely. This is more so when it's about foreigners for which the discrepancy of what's currently available to them and what can be promised is simply staggering. Here is less about the job offers in themselves as means to cover needs as it is with them as advertised goods that generate tremendous amounts of attraction. That's why so many foreign talented individuals are jumping through hops and work on mediocre conditions (which includes the payment) just to be able to dream about the advertised big rewards. I say "to dream" because it works like a lottery, it's a rat race not for a piece of cheese but for a chance to that piece.

There is a lot to talked about on this subject, but it's suffice to say that at its root the difference comes from what is a fair trade, which differs greatly from USA in comparison to other places.

I don't understand the lack of love for - or at least general community attention to - the Closure toolchain. Type annotations make a lot of sense for JS - they are native JS, they are optional, and generally conform to the jsdoc standards that people are used to. The Closure type system is pretty decent, as well. I have yet to see a really compelling implementation of a JS-like language that cross-compiles to JavaScript.
