Dear Hacker News - after scrolling 3 pages I still haven't seen the 2nd comment. Can you please implement collapsable comments? Please!?
In case you hadn't considered the alternative position, I get nervous deciding where something should "Really" be when that's based on a number of things, e.g. there's a multitude of hierarchies I could pick when organizing a music collection, and none is inherently correct over the others. Some things defy a hierarchical structure entirely. (I hate having a "Various Artists" folder, and those albums not being visible under each artist. I have considered symlinks, but too often software treats these as multiple copies.)

I can avoid that by having my files in a content-based-addressing pool with metainformation.
I'd dare say for the majority of living earthlings religion is the sole defining part of their identity.

> These people wouldn't just hoard their money because there is no ad telling them what to buy...

wut?

People see an ad, they're more likely buy that thing. If they don't see an ad, they don't buy that thing.

You think people are still going to be spending their money if they aren't talked into buying things? lol.

The economy grows when people spend money. Disincentivizing people from spending money is a good way to make sure the economy dies.

Apple has to support 4 different GPU manufacturers, in fact. And Chrome isn't using the native Direct2D on Windows, which would have made this easier: rather they chose to reinvent it with Ganesh. Ganesh is OpenGL only (also Vulkan) instead of using native Direct3D. I don't think the cross-platform burden is that much higher for Chrome in this specific area.
There are a bunch of plugins that provide collapsable comment threads.

NYPD cop shoots playful family dog in head while dog wagged his tail happily
Well, most people need employment, so of course that should be a priority of a government for/by/of the people.

The article skipped what he meant by "priorities" and "forces". Presumbly, it's not forcing companies to make up jobs, but by things like lowering employment transaction costs and making the people more valuable.

Education is the obvious one, but it needs to be education that actually does make one more valuable. Also make sure the people are healthy. Better infrastructure - pretty much all those "government" things.
I believe "var" and "final" is better than "var" and "final var" respectively. I mentioned this before[0] but was told that a 5 letter word was too much. I disagree, I use "const" regularly in es6 even though "var" and "let" exist. Currently "final" is rarely used for local variables and I think this would encourage its use. Unlike the author, I am excited for local type inference to remove unnecessary cruft that I don't believe adds too much. Also, for many it can reduce the amount of imports. I just hope there is never return type inference.

MS had a de-facto monopoly on the desktop at the time and got in trouble for abusing that position. Apple, optimistically, has around half of the US smartphone market and maybe like 10% of the global market. Apple can't remove consumer choice from the entire market when there's Android stuff which is functionally very similar, readily available, and usually cheaper.
Seems to be more, how to get bgp packets to an open flow server to do stuff...

I'd be interested as a network techy to see how they actually do the rest of bgp on openflow/sdn, like holding multiple full tables on the server and how the switch has enough memory to deal with that amount of information...

Advertising doesn't solve any of those problems, but makes them all worse.

Now instead of 200 brands of almond milk and 85 sushi restaurants to try or ask your friends about, you have 285 companies shoving ads in your face, all insisting they're the "best", when obviously they all can't be.

In fact, having to sort through 285 ads is worse than actually trying 285 products, because the advertisements are completely disconnected from the quality of the actual products.

Offer a good product and people will come back and tell their friends. That's the alternative to advertising, because it's what people will do anyway.

in lisps, data is code is data. So imagine you can edit your program while it's running, since it's just data.

How that compares to python, I'm not sure. But I don't think you can easily modify python code as easily as you can modify lisp programs.
Tiny wireless-rich COM runs Linux on Snapdragon 820
For me, the main reason I keep checking out options to run a regular linux distro vs. chromeOS/crouton is to be able to run kernel modules like KVM. Android Studio requires KVM to be able to run the emulator at anything greater than glacial speed.

I actually once built a custom chromiumOS build with kvm enabled and was able run both Android emulator as well as Windows 7 for Office :-) But it proved to be too much of a hassle to rebuild updates over time.
Who knows.

More jobs, more wages, more actual money in the economy to displace credit cards and pay down household debt, and improved infrastructure may well see new business opportunities come into existence.

Ask HN: What's happening at Google to justify the mismanagement of Chrome?
Chrome used to be the best, now it suffers tremendously in almost every aspect.

Does anyone have any insight about what they're doing that Chrome seems now a neglected project?
What makes you think they will ever be done?
Please. No. Java's beauty is that it is explicit, and that greatly reduces errors. Your IDE takes care of this crap anyway.
It is the mixture that is all wrong, and it is that mixture that you do not get in Scala or Kotlin.

Why don't we get that mixture in Scala? final is a valid keyword there, too.

scala> final var x = "y"
x: String = y

This works, even when it's not used. This would be just a matter of time in Java when nobody will use the `final var`.

You might be onto something here. Jeff Atwood posted several months ago about Android's suboptimal JavaScript performance in the context of Discourse [1], and that also uses Ember. I wonder what characteristics of Ember might make it suboptimal under V8.

That falls under "violation of something". But the department has plenty of buying power, they can easily put "promise not to do this" into the spec.

"maybe I'm missing part of the equation"

You're not. The main issue is that Moldbug writes in depth about controversial things, without including enough Leftist bromides like "Hitler was the worst" or "slavery is evil". This is very triggering to Leftists in the tech industry and so they want him removed from any conference where he happens to be presenting a talk.
>Mobile Safari can easily handle, say, a Photos.app-like interface with a translucent navigation bar, native-like swipe gestures and smooth animations. Chrome handles none of this. No position:sticky, no backdrop-filter, no scroll-snap-type

It's interesting that the things he lists as Safari having only work via a -webkit vendor prefix.
Final does not mean immutable, but non-overridable through inheritance. The val keyword is what makes things immutable.

I think you're missing the intent here.

But it you're turning off your logic in casual conversation, expect to get burned. Detecting fallacies should be an always-on feature, like HTTPS. Most of the time you're not going to have a MITM attack... until you do.

I think you've also missed the point of TFA, which says that anti-authoritarians can accept authority, if it proves to be a legitimate authority. And it still requires you to use logic, because no authority is perfect. I may be a Lutheran, but that in no way makes me a creationist like Martin Luther.
>> I don't want to research the 200 brands of almond milk or 85 sushi restaurants in my neighborhood

Neither do I. I'll just pick one arbitrarily.
It's almond milk.
I might even just skip it entirely.
I don't even really need milk, if giving up advertising meant I had to drink water that's fine.

I think the issue here is that you're approaching this from a consumerist viewpoint to begin with - it's difficult to explain exactly what's wrong because it's a completely foreign approach.

When I was 20, I worked washing dishes in restaurants. I applied for a job at a semiconductor manufacturer but didn't get it. I jumped at the opportunity when it came to work with electronics at a small shop. I would have tried manufacturing. But I don't know what "conditions" you're referring to.
Actually I am very happy Safari Mobile does not support autoplay. I have disabled it on my desktop Firefox as well.

In a perfect world, it would be a valuable feature. In a world governed by the attention economy, it invites abuse. If I wanted to have websites come on all blaring sound at full volume and distract me with video playing, I'd buy an $50 Android tablet.
Another way to view what Andy Grove was saying was we neither have capitalism, socialism, or central planning. Rather we have a toxic mix in many industries like Health Care, Defense, Drug Development etc. i.e the comment that what we have is inferior to "lasssez-faire" or free market.

China has used central buying/orders to drive up artificial demand/buying and as a result has a massive over capacity and debt problem that appears to actually be stickier and worse than ours.

I think the best learning is it's better to make a clear choice on the system to allocate resources rather than hybridize it. US Example? Healthcare-- Either go completely public like those in Europe which spend 4-6% of their GDP to cover health or go 100% provide and move government out of it . These hybrid systems have us spending 20% of our income on healthcare so we get the worst of both worlds.
As an Australian native English speaker, I'd heard of it - but I was a very widely read kid, which is probably where I came across it.

Was dart ever part of chrome? I didn't follow that closely, seemed like a separate effort from Google.
While your test is exactly what is expected from iPhones, it says nothing about their performance on other devices.

Chrome and Firefox on the iPhone are not the same Chrome and Firefox found on desktop and android devices. Apple restricts apps that provide web browsing to use old and outdated versions of the native IOS rendering engine and JavaScript engine.

If you want to compare Lisp Live Coding and you know Python, then let me compare it like this: How much faster can you get things done using something like ipython vs. a compiled static language like C(++/#) or Java? I don't want to go into a flamewar against the other languages, of course. Yet, if you favor an ipython repl against the compile/build/test cycle, then Lisp gives you just about the same order of magnitude more power.

I've done professional Python coding for 2.5 years, Ruby and JS for 7. I always believed that the REPL combined with those languages being dynamically typed can yield big advantages.

With a Lisp you can evaluate your code in real time in your editor. Also your app will re-load your code live without losing it's state. I've done that with Backends, Web Frontends and Mobile Apps. It's pretty awesome, not just compared to everything else^^

Take it for a spin and enjoy the ride(;

I don't understand how a liberal person can defend criticising how other people chose to have sex.

Young American couples are choosing more frequently to have anal sex. Unless it's rape, what business is that of yours?

This article presents the rise of some sexual practices such as anal and oral, as somehow fundamentally problematic.

You have sex how you want to have sex, I'll have sex how I want to have sex, and as long as nobody is being raped it's none of our business what the other person is doing.

I disagree. The answer is not just "var" because you have now completely dismissed local variable immutability (something C# does not have). Did you read the link you are responding to? I am also not sure why you believe they want to be different "out of some misplaced spite"...any source for these claims? Finally, Java needs to be easy to parse and backwards compatible, and after all it does have many runtimes by other companies. What if I had a class named "var" (which does happen in auto-generated code)? These things need to be discussed out in the open (something C# did not do during those older decisions). As for the other features you mention, there are many reasons why they are different and many people can argue in favor of Java's approach (e.g. generic type erasure is backwards compatible as opposed reification, async/await are library problems not language ones, etc). They are different languages, they take different approaches to changes, and I believe it is unfair to hand-wavingly dismiss it as "wasting time".

Not necessarily.

In this case, the contract involved a vendor bidding with/through NYS Industries for the Disabled, which is a "preferred source" contractor that is supposed to employ disabled people to perform work. Typically this is light manufacturing work, although operating scanners for a purpose like this is also common.

As a preferred source contractor, they have preference over any other competitor -- if you bid on the contract and offered to perform the services for $1, the preferred source vendor would win.

The issue is that this is a serious fraud, not just a case of violating some contract term. I'm curious as to why the principles aren't facing criminal prosecution.

Sorry you misunderstand me. I didn't mean that Firefox is the new IE, but rather that it's difficult for anything to be the new IE, because of the choice now available. Chrome, Firefox, IE, and safari all now have reasonable market share.

The article is for some reason ignoring all but two browsers.

I take it that the original project said "kiked"? As an American, I wouldn't blame the creator for that since they clearly didn't know about the usage, and I think it's uncouth to assume malevolence here. It's not reasonable to expect people to exhaustively check anything they publish for bad words in any language on Earth.

Still, if you're publishing for an international audience, it makes sense and is polite to make a change once you've been alerted. I think Parro-it handled this very well. (Especially since, as others have pointed out, the proper English conjugation of "kik" is "kikked".)

This sort of thing does go both ways, BTW. There have been several significant media flaps over the word "spaz," which just means "clumsy/hyper/awkward" in American English, but is a pretty serious ableist slur in British English.
The principle is simple. Basically your entire accounting log is always a balanced equation: sum(assets) = sum(liabilities) + sum(owner's equity). Every transaction gets recorded on both sides of this equation, so you can check for (certain kinds of) mistakes by adding up everything on both sides and seeing if it matches. This is a vast oversimplification, and possibly slightly wrong, but hopefully illuminates the connection with unit testing. :)
You're confusing the motivations of individuals (Teachers) with the emergent properties of systems (Schools). It's entirely possible to have systems where all actors' motivations are positive, yet the outcomes are not.

This article appears to be about the speed of ember in Chrome, which is a real complaint, but everything else is just a sideshow.

Adding new features while being slow on others does not make a browser "the new IE". In general, "new IE" arguments are easy to throw out but don't bring much insight, but this instance completely misses the mark in understanding both what was bad about IE around 2000 and what was bad about IE in the decade that followed.

> And herein is the problem; Google implements features that (usually) work at a high pace, but they very rarely make them work efficiently...they introduced us to shiny few features like CSS will-change, requestIdleCallback, and a fairly solid implementation of ServiceWorker in the hope that new tools would magically make their performance gap go away. It doesn't matter to them that even these shiny new tools are 3x+ slower than their peer's counterparts

While new features are apparently rarely made to work efficiently, of the three actual examples mentioned, one is "fairly solid", one (requestIdleCallback) isn't in any other browser, and the last (will-change) is just a modifier of other properties so web developers don't all have to use hacks (translateZ) forced on them years ago by WebKit to get decent GPU support. And only with one of them (the "fairly solid" ServiceWorker) would it make sense to call slower or faster compared to other implementations...but of course there is no ServiceWorker in Safari yet to compare to. I haven't heard (nor can I find) any complaints about ServiceWorker performance in Chrome vs Firefox, but maybe they're out there and really mad about that 3x+ slower implementation in Chrome, for some vague definition of slower.

I do love:

> There's a lot of these errors that Chrome silently ignores or just "deals with", and it leads to code debt that we "think" is due to other browsers being shitty, but honestly it's just what I've come to call "Scumbag Chrome".

and then proceeding to offhandedly mentioning having to work around old Safari flexbox issues, old Safari WebSQL issues...

But those aren't a big deal to the author, because he knows how to quickly work around them. And that's what most of this article is talking about: bugs the author is familiar with are easy to work around, bugs he isn't familiar with aren't. Honestly 90% of this just sounds like he's used to his iphone and Safari devtools and is upset he has to build for other browsers on other machines.

If you think that sounds exactly like someone with a site that only works in Chrome because they're used to the Chrome devtools and they didn't check it in another browser until right before launch, you'd be right.
