Please reread https://perl6advent.wordpress.com/2015/12/25/christmas-is-he...

Note especially this passage:

...the primary deliverable ... is the language specification, known as “roast” (Repository Of All Spec Tests) ...

In other words it's roast, the digital acceptance test for any candidate Perl 6 compiler, that is arguably the only thing that was officially declared, and hence the only thing that could be construed to have been officially declared any particular thing such as "stable".

Continuing:

... This Rakudo release targets those tests (over 120 thousand of them), and passes them all on at least some architectures when the moon is in the right phase.

Rakudo is a Perl 6 compiler (so that one can try out the announced language).

Note the moon phase comment. While obviously not literal and arguably misleading it is a brilliantly concise and precise explanation of the degree to which Rakudo, the leading Perl 6 compiler, should or could be characterized as officially "stable".

What's funny to me is how incredibly much faster the joke telnet interface is than using a web browser. Well, 'funny': it's actually pretty sad that we slow down our network usage so badly.
The emoji craze has had the nice side-effect of forcing a lot of projects to make sure their stuff supports Unicode properly, because now it's something that even English-speaking software users can appreciate. It's a good thing.

This is very true. The FAA really takes this seriously. So much so that since one of their duties is enforcement and potentially revoking licenses for violations they have built a system where NASA, a completely separate agency, manages the Aviation Safety and Reporting System (ASRS).

When we, as pilots, submit ASRS reports of mistakes or dangerous situations we know that the information we submit on those reports cannot and will not be used against us in a FAA violation proceeding. Furthermore, submission of an ASRS report will often reduce or eliminate any penalties for an infraction. This has created a cover-your-ass-culture that actually promotes safety as we will often report mistakes and dangerous situations early and aggressively, knowing that we are protected from FAA action and for commercial pilots, from airline disciplinary processes.

It seems to be a combination of the Silicon Valley echo chamber + groupthink. They're completely ignorant of any perspective that isn't their own.

It's the one thing I hate about Android. The UIs of Google apps have gotten consistently worse over the years, mainly because they've been prioritizing aesthetics over functionality/ease of use.

I'm assuming their thought process is something along the lines of "This is obvious to me. Therefore, it will be obvious to the millions of Android users". No, it's obvious to you because you just thought of it, it's most definitely not obvious to everyone else.

> No, you quite clearly haven't, and it's insulting for everyone in that position that you would pretend you have.

You're assuming that someone who differs from you in opinion (not their view of the facts), is stupider than you, less experienced than you, and dishonest. That's not an argument, that's just peer pressure.

> And yet manufacturing is still important for the health of a country’s economy, because no other sector can generate nearly as many well-paying jobs. Take Facebook, which at the end of last year had 12,691 employees, versus the 344,109 that Toyota had at the end of its fiscal year, in March 2015. Making things still matters.

There are so many assumptions in this article but especially here. Author assumes people are required to make things, they are not. Author assumes factory jobs will pay well, they often don't, and there's no reason they will. And the employment disparity between IT companies and Manufacturing is showing that you can create a ton more wealth with a small number of IT people than a huge number of manufacturing people, which is why Wall Street values those companies higher these days.

AI Coding Frameworks
I love that the Panamera looks so off the wall. I can never decide if I love or hate it, but I always love looking at it to figure that out.
Thanks for the link to Ramshaw's other paper. I'd not seen that before and I think it'll be very helpful for some work that I occasionally toy with.

As a side note to the parent comment, things like blossoms, polar forms, and sites aren't really introductory material, but it's something that I've found incredibly useful and a tool that I wish more people new about. Beyond graphics, Bezier surfaces have an extremely rich structure of properties that can be exploited and, for me, blossoms were the key to understanding that. For example, by using blossoms, I can force the intersection between two different triangular Bernstein-Bezier patches to be smooth and differentiable up to p-2 derivatives where p is the polynomial order. And, this can be done with linear constraints. See proposition 21.1 in Ramshaw's 1987 paper. There's a litany of other properties as well. Anyway, this is more of a way to say that Bezier curves have important applications in optimal design and other fields outside of computer graphics, but I think that requires using some of the lesser known properties of which blossoms are one tool.

Alright, so most of that was for the parent commentator's benefit, but I'll say thanks again for the link to the other Ramshaw paper. I didn't realize there was a continuation of the original blossoming work and I think the results in that newer paper will be incredibly helpful for me.
It's the constraints I think. They restrict search space to something more maneagable, and make creating stuff much easier.

Same reason minecraft and lego are such inspiring tools.
Yepp, I put in two pre-orders yesterday morning at their Santa Monica, CA, store (one for me, one for my parents). Glad I got in yesterday, I'd have second thoughts now that they're at >115,000 pre-orders. Wasn't a big deal that there was no information available, the deposit is 100% refundable, so if I don't like what I see when it gets closer to actual production, I can get a refund, or I could even transfer my deposit to a CPO Model S (or $1000 worth of Tesla baseball hats if I really wanted to). But, I imagine I'll stick with it as I've been a big fan of Tesla since the Roadster, and I've been happy with what I've seen/experienced in my friends' S's and X's so far.
Is this an April Fools thing or not? I legitimately can't tell and it's making me hate this day even more.

Digital Design Labs | Liverpool, UK | Full Time | ONSITE

Digital Design Labs are a web innovation company, developing mobile-first products for the horse racing, betting, and gaming market. We are looking for a talented Frontend Developer to join our small technical team in Liverpool.

This individual will love the web, sweat the details, and be enthusiastic about producing an exceptional product. Our development process is often discussion-led, and the successful candidate will be expected to participate in robust conversations on how best to solve a set of requirements, including challenging established conventions within the company where appropriate.

Key skills include HTML5, CSS3, SASS, Git, and JavaScript. Some PHP experience would be ideal, but is not a requirement; this role is all about the frontend. Other beneficial skills include SVG, JSON, Gulp, and Babel.

When I lived in China, I'd never heard of April Fools Day. It seems to be a western thing. Hence this ban isn't all that relevant inside China.

From the examples it seems like China is actually trying to ban April Fools Day for western media, but the article doesn't make this clear, and it's difficult to imagine that is the case. So I find it hard to take this article seriously.
Apple has patented technology to automatically scan songs and remove swear words
It isn't me on the website. I've to replace that.
Wow! This even has auto-completion and other shell goodies.

However, there seems to be a bug in the auto-completion:

When pressing TAB immediately after the prompt appears, the whole telnet session hangs and does not respond anymore.
> “'April Fools' Day' is not consistent with our cultural tradition, or socialist core values,”

Which is also an opinion. But opinions like that are frequently given the force of law, and that's why stories like these provoke strong reactions.
They have the "best" and "worst" matches at the bottom of the page. I thought the "worst" set was pretty good, and I wonder if correcting for white balance would have given them a HUGE benefit. The majority of the errors look like daylight-for-tungsten correction, just tweak the yellows to blues FTW.
Why would you want to tax exports? It is as damaging as taxing imports, as it stands into exactly the same kind of barrier.

It's way better to base taxation choices on the need to collect money, plus a rare, exceptional sin tax. Taxation choices based on commercial strategies are almost universally poor.
I think this guy gets it wrong, and this has nothing to do with being 'smart', but rather sitting somewhere along the aspergers/autism spectrum.

The one interesting takeaway for me was this:

"I realized that the reason people missed me was because they had received positive energy from me. And the reason I didn’t miss them is because I rarely received positive energy from them. But this wasn’t because they didn’t send it. It was because I saw it coming. I expected it, and therefore could never feel real gratitude."

I think he's on to something there that a lot of people like him might be doing but not thinking about. How to address this knowledge is left for the reader to determine.

Thanks. Can I whitelist the whole internet (by using /0 perhaps?) using this method? I've seen people complaining about this issue on VPNs and such too.
I understand that the HN community should be polite in discussing matters like this, but I do think your comment demonstrates utter ignorance.

Note what the government calls rumors are often embarrasing news that the government wants to cover up. Legitimate news are often first reported by Reuters and other western media, and then in China. Sometimes true stories that circulate outside of China are never reported domestically. For example, the former premier of China has huge wealth overseas [1].

The Chinese government is suppressing free media and transparent information by cracking down on jokes/rumors. I have no idea what the h* you are doing here.
