I was replying to "we still call it..." "We" are officially not calling it "the year of the lord" in secular contexts because inclusive language is really important. The language has changed. Certainly it has a meaning traced back to religion for historical reasons but so do a lot of other things and it's inconvenient to throw out very well established conventions sometimes. And, yes, new terminology takes a while to catch on.
JS is evolving so developers want to take advantage of new features while still supporting old browsers, which makes complicated pipelines mandatory. Should developers stick with ES5 instead ? I personally like using classes instead of prototypes as it makes my code more readable. fortunately I can develop with a browser that supports a lot of ES6 features so the pipeline is only mandatory for staging,testing on old browsers and production.

Next working with Raw DOM nodes when you have to develop a complex single page app isn't really efficient. You need a way to write reusable components, these components need to be composite, and need to take care of their own life cycle ( registering, unregistering event listeners,...) . So basically it means creating a component system on top of the DOM. The DOM wasn't created to build complex applications, therefore it needs to be abstracted in some ways.

The alternative is to do everything on the server, and fetch HTML fragments to update the page through ajax when a specific event is dispatched. Sometimes that solution scales, sometimes it doesn't.

ES6 by the way makes working with the DOM a bit easier, and ES6 modules will help developers moving away from monolithic frameworks.
Either not getting a good ground, or not having a long enough antenna are two issues I have commonly seen with some of the more basic kits.

This is also just a single study with some questionable methods. It's just as ignorant to blindly dismiss this study as it is to blindly accept it.
The UK's postal service offered exactly this, way back in the late 90s. They discontinued it after just a year or so.
Different reasons for different users, but here's a few possible ones: dosage control is really hard with edibles (and they take a while to take effect), vapes are more expensive/slower, can be less portable, and I think the biggest one may be tradition/ritual that people enjoy around smoking. Humans aren't known for making the best decisions for their health :)

I might be out of touch with the latest news regarding Magic Leap but this is the first time I've seen a "live" demo of the technology. Those demo shots were filmed through an actual, working display according to the disclaimer and everything I've seen up to this point had been a pre-rendered "artist's concept".

I have a little more faith in there being something of substance behind their technology now that I know they have working prototypes. I'd only seen a mountain of hype and investment money chasing what seemed to be nothing but a concept and set of patents prior to this.

You willingly cause harm to your body and brain daily. I choose to drink too many energy drinks, knowing full well all the chemicals and additives are not good for me.

The point is, I don't go around claiming energy drinks are totally harmless simply because I enjoy them. Of course they're not good for me.

Accept cannabis causes harm, and then make an educated choice to continue using or not. I just ask that we be realistic about this - it's a foreign chemical being introduced to your body.

That's what parent poster is asking for.

Any time I post about cannabis on HN i have to include the line "I am strongly in favour of drug legalisation" or tediously predictable replies accusing me of shilling for the government appear.

And my position - that for some people smoking large amounts of cannabis is probably a bad idea (especially if they've young; have a history of psychosis; or have a family history of psychosis) - doesn't feel particularly un-nuanced.

Think about Google's conflict of interest: They ship most of the malware consumers get via malicious ads. And then they advertise about Chromebooks having no malware. Google doubly profits off shipping malware to consumers.

Microsoft, at least, has a good incentive to police their malware.

Apple Reportedly Running Secret Car Lab in German Capital
It will be interesting to see new interaction paradigms arise from using this kind of interface. Though it isn't clear how they are controlling this one, I'm glad they weren't having to reach their hands out in front of them to physically touch objects. Skeuomorphic interfaces are absolutely terrible for scenarios like this because people get really tired holding their arms out. Not to mention it's way less efficient than some kind of keyboard or gesture input method.
Ah, yeah I test on old hardware for efficiency too. One thing Im trying to assess is how registration might be accelerated. What operations are involved in a registration request that arent a trade secret or something?
As an amateur math enthusiast, I find this kind of thing both fascinating and frustrating. It would be amazing if someone were to make a 3-D gif animation of what exactly this proof is talking about, because I can't make heads or tails of the proof language / formulae.
I agree that libpng and friends are an abomination, but a reaction all the way back to a single header file is taking it too far. There is a healthier middle ground that doesn't go against the grain of decades of tooling. Wouldn't a streamlined interface and fewer build options be sufficient? It's not like compiling multiple source files is hard.

Absolutely- factoring in refrigeration as well, it seems like an ideal location for widespread solar. On top of that, power transmission in a developing country would benefit a ton from decentralization. The tough aspects of managing a decentralized grid (sensing and load shedding) are much easier today than when the North American / European power grids were developed. I'd even wager to say that some non-industrial areas should push for HVDC transmission and start to move away from AC altogether. With most of our household amenities trending towards relatively low DC voltages, the AC losses don't seem as worthwhile if we can avoid it.
Sounds interesting.

I think the evidence that's out there shows cannabis consumption has negative effects for developing minds. And there is some evidence to indicate that burning plant material inhalation is bad (although this is far from as factual as with cigarettes, for example).

Generally, the studies that indicate long term negative effects use a limited population or confounders (such as amphetamines in this case). Those studies indicate one method/combination is harmful, but (AFAICT) are not generalizable to most users.

I am happy to be shown wrong, but have yet to come across a generalizable study that shows long term negative health effects of cannabis consumption.

I think most of us have some fuzzy concepts about some things being 'a step too far', but I'll admit to not having a great idea where or how to draw the line.

It would suck to have an outdoor, late night heavy metal venue open up in an adjacent property, for instance.

OTOH, a lot of the limits on housing height and density and car requirements seem like bunk to me. And I'd rather live closer than farther to basic amenities like a grocery store, some restaurants, a small bar... stuff like that. I loved that about life in Italy.
I don't think you can really make a blanket statement like that. It isn't good for you or I, but anecdotally I know a few people who are more than happy with theirs.

I'm a developer. The lack of ports (and really, raw CPU power) would infuriate me. My boss, a former developer turned manager who spends most of his day in meetings, loves his single-port Macbook.
Strangely co-incidental. I'm currently going through a divorce myself. Add to that a voluntary sabbatical from work that I quit last year because I hated getting into the comfort zone. Since then I've been spending a lot of time alone, trying to do different things, and of course writing what made sense to me. This book was not even planned for when I first started writing to be honest and yes, I strongly agree on not putting any limits on who we can or want to be because of a certain personality type or a test.
I just believed that the reason I wasn't able to choose "one" thing to pursue in life was because I shied away from making that commitment to excelling in one thing. In my book, I'm only trying to convey that it's important to understand the pros and cons of our choices in life on who we want to be, since it's easy to get carried away by the lure of Entrepreneurship or life-hacking. I did try both and I hated it. I now know that I would never enjoy pursuing either of those paths and would be happier by simply writing and following my curiosity.

No, the study said that the subjects (who were either dependent on marijuana or non users) were given the amphetamine to elicit a dopamine response. The users did not smoke for a week prior to the experiment, so you would expect that if there were no dopamine deficits than they would have similar response to the amphetamine. I'm no brain scientist but it seems like a reasonable experiment.
A list of the APIs would be a good starting point. "Controls your lights" isn't helpful. "Talks to Hue and IFTTT" is.

Pretty good list that I mostly agree with. I think the only point of contention I may have is with using timbre--having tried it in the past, I found it didn't do much that clojure.tools.logging couldn't do for most use-cases, and added configuration complexity while not sparing me the trouble of dealing with logback XML configs and whatnot--Java logging seems to rears its ugly head no matter what you do, especially when using a fair amount of interop as our project does (and as any big project probably does to some extent). Seems like it's best to simply suck it up and learn how Java logging works. But, it's probably worth giving it the benefit of the doubt, and perhaps I should give it another shot--it's been a little while since I last tried it so maybe it's improved, or maybe I simply didn't understand well enough how to set it up effectively.

Otherwise, lots of great points. One other thing I will say about Schema (https://github.com/plumatic/schema): while it's a lifesaver in a lot of ways, its mere existence really does expose some of Clojure's deficiencies when it comes to the type system (or lack thereof). I'm probably in the minority in the Clojure world but I really wish that it had better static typing and a more sophisticated type system sometimes. I've mostly made my peace with it but once in a while I look longingly at ML-family languages from afar...
How do they get so confused about it? Is it because Java also allows overloading, which is a sort of static multiple dispatch?
Seems interesting! Would this run on a raspberry pi?

Also, 15-20 people isn't a Secret Car Lab, it's a brainstorming session.
I've been working on this project for a little over a year as an advisor, primarily on the marketing and bank tech pieces of the business. The team saw an opportunity to make something (saving for 1099 taxes) that's unnecessarily complex much simpler, so they developed this nifty automated bank account to save from a user's self-employment income. You can set a fixed saving percentage, or let the software estimate for you based on your state and projected income. So far, we've seen developers, writers, real estate brokers, Airbnb hosts, and designers get value from the platform. The founders will be checking in here to answer questions, so ask away!
I tripped over this as an undergraduate. On the surface, overloading looks like it has the same purpose and function as (virtual) method dispatch, but the difference between static and dynamic typing is subtle enough that they don't interact the way one might expect them to.

Not at all, and it's kind of strange to me that you do. It's just... how the app works. Slack lets you do it, for example, and I've used it occasionally. Heck, reddit (and I think HN?) let you delete comments, even if they were previously, uh, transmitted to a reader's browser.

The Gmail example is irrelevant because that's not how email works. If a new company / protocol came about which wanted to try their hand at a different way of sending online letters, that let you delete them later then I'd have no problem with that. I might not use the service, but there's no foul play or anything.
Correct. Voting works, but the arrow icon will not update.
As long as we can't preimage arbitrary hashes, the difficulty will adjust.

There are contingency plans for if a preimage becomes possible, and I suspect they'll move to a stronger hash before it's needed.
Lack of motivation is a pretty common reason for prescribing amphetimines as well.

Also, I know plenty of counter-examples to the "lazy stoner" stereotype. You just didn't know that the CEO of your company has a stealth grow op in his basement because that's not the kind of thing you advertise. Anecdotally, I would say that regular and heavy cannabis use very common among management consultants and software developers -- and it's hard to remain in those jobs long if you're unable to motivate yourself. But if work is stressful, a few bong rips at the end of the day can be a nice way to relax.
I wonder how these devices address the question raised in this study [1]. Also, can you perform all tests (e.g., metabolic panel) on these devices ?

How many studies need to come out before folks start to accept that maybe their favorite pastime isn't so harmless after all?

It's fairly obvious introducing chemicals to your body long term will have undesirable side effects.

In the end, it doesn't matter how harmful or harmless this substance is. People will continue to use and abuse it regardless. But we should not reject modern studies simply because we want to believe old data.

The airtight safety housing alone would be way too heavy for bike racing. You can't have a flywheel spinning at zillion rpm sitting out in the open because it could kill someone in a crash. Plus the flywheel would need to be in a near vacuum to avoid air drag.
It's never about it being "better," it's only about it being "different." In a world of cookie-cutter web devs, how does one stand out? By trying something difficult, succeeding, and then saying it's the "better" way. Same reason we have so many damn programming languages - they each claim to do something the "better" way.
100% agree. It always comes down to money. I respect Elon Musk for wanting to get people to live on mars. I too feel we need to become a multi-planet species.

However, what is the financial incentive for this? Are the new investors of SpaceX, really going to want to waste billions upon billions of dollars, for something that will not make money? Hell no.

When Europeans set sail for the "New World" hundreds of years ago, there was a huge financial incentive. Gold and other raw materials.

As much as I respect the idea of getting people living on Mars. It's ass backwards. We have to start with mining or something very profitable. Then we can get people living in space or other planets / astroids.

You apparently previously worked for apple, and are on HN.

Therefor, it's probably a safe bet you're a developer of some kind.

What exactly makes you think the thinnest lightest laptop Apple have ever produced, is targeted at you specifically?

Do you also complain that their iMacs and Mac Pros are less portable than a laptop, and that their MacBook Pros have smaller screens than a 27" monitor?

They have a range of products. There are definitely some gaps I would agree with you about (I'm still clinging to a 17" MBP) but faulting an ultra thin/light laptop because it doesn't suit your specific use-case is ridiculous.

I suppose if Apple do release a car, your first comment will be "this is crap it only has four wheels and 5 seats. My cousin's big-rig has 18 wheels and can carry a 40' shipping container!"
