Well, yes; it's called type annotation (as noted in comments both here and at the original article). Telling the compiler it's "just a String" (or more precisely a dictionary containing strings) cuts the compile time to 100ms.

Yes, the type inference in this case could use some improvement -- maybe guess the simplest possible interpretation first, and search the space of alternatives in the background, assuming there's a mechanism to go back for a do-over if any are eventually found...?
I guess if you don't pay for the journalism, you shouldn't expect them to provide services like "not being a propaganda mouthpiece".

Not trying to single out TechCrunch; it's a major public goods problem that was solved pre-internet by the difficulty of copying newspapers, so companies could profit by doing thorough research and fact-checking. I hope they solve it by some kind of "one payment, all-you-can-eat, payout-in-proportion-to-views" system.

Indeed. I quote Joe Armstrong:

This story illustrates perfectly one of the big reasons why Bitcoin and company aren't and will probably never be used by the general population for anything really.

If even someone that is technical savvy (I don't know much about the OP but someone that uses RAR, knows how to make crypto wallets and knows how to check the processes running in his computer is much ahead of the average person in terms of IT knowledge) can't be safe with their Crypto coins, you really can't expect that the average person ever trusts Bitcoin and company for anything.

I'm sorry for your loss, but there is nothing you can do really. Try and contact Poloniex for the Ether, but unless you have some prof those coins actually belong to you, it will be next to impossible to have them do anything.
Yep. Not only that, but I find it to just be insanely fun to go double-clicking with wanton abandon throughout Observer, digging in to everything just because I can. That it's all there, with no setup and effort required, makes it feel almost magical.

That's a pretty big if. But truth be told, most things don't need to be ultra-high-quality with ultra-tight tolerances.

>If you do not think thinking coding is basic skill like literacy and arithmetic, then what do you think you will be doing in ten years to stay as productive as the machines taking so many jobs?

The human mind will probably have little to no value in the economy of the future. Machines will inevitably write the books, make the movies, make the music and publish the science. Of course, there will probably still be a market for human generated content, but only because of human vanity. Humans will still play Go despite it having been mastered by machines already, and will still consider themselves "good" at it.

>Will anyone with dream's of being a novelist be able to compete with the computers in twenty years.

Most people can't even write well enough to compete with other humans, so very little harm done there.

>Write code or prepare to compete with software.

It doesn't matter. You can't compete with software, you have already lost. Human software literacy is nothing but a necessary stopgap until all coding is automated as well. Human computer literacy is doomed to become a fringe and arcane art, like calligraphy. How many jobs with good penmanship get you in the modern world?

This is why coding isn't a basic life skill. Most people never encounter code in their day to day lives. Their computers run applications someone else has already written. They only need to know how to push buttons. Coding is nothing more than the application of existing basic skills like reading, writing and logic to a niche (and soon to be obsolete) occupation.
Sounds like you should be automating more stuff, there is little reason compiling something like nginx should cause technical debt. Especially since nginx versions in stable distros are usually really old versions, and when it comes to security take a while to get patched up.
It's just a bug. It's pretty easy to accidentally have such cases in a generic type inference algorithm, particularly one with implicit conversions. Other similar languages have had pathological cases in type inference too.
You want to argue that a university policy which prohibits sex while one party is "intoxicated" without specifying any method for assessing whether that standard is met, isn't a problem and can't be triggered by a minimal level of alcohol consumption. But this is not the case. If you'll permit a digression into some cases where alcohol did not figure in the judgment:

Here ( http://reason.com/blog/2016/04/07/student-suspended-for-rape... ) is reason covering a case in which USC found a boy responsible for sexual assault and was then overruled by the courts.

> The University of Southern California found a male student, "John Doe," responsible for sexual assault and suspended him for two years. But his alleged victim, a female student, "Jane," maintained that the sex between them was consensual.

> Doe was ultimately punished, not because he hurt Jane, but because he did nothing to prevent two other males from having rough sex with her—from slapping her on the buttocks—during an orgy.

> After dancing together, Jane, Doe, and Student 1 went off to a bedroom together to have sex. All agree that this encounter was consensual

> Later that evening, Jane and Doe returned to the bedroom to have sex again. Jane maintains that their sexual activity remained consensual, but other men—likely including Students 1 and 2—entered the room and also began performing sexual acts on Jane. These activities became rough, and culminated in one or two of the men—not Doe—slapping her butt.

> Jane later texted Doe that she had a good time with him, but "your friends suck though." She approached him again at a party some weeks later, but he declined to dance with her.

> Months later, in August of 2014—after discussing her "confidence issues" with a counsellor—Jane decided that the incident constituted sexual assault and filed a complaint. Still, she maintained that she had consented to sex with Doe: it was the other men who had violated her.

> USC disagreed, and accused Doe of violating 11 different sections of the student code of conduct, including "endangering the health of others," "engaging in obscene behavior at a university-sponsored event," and "engaging in non-consensual sexual touching."

> Consider that for a moment. Jane said her sexual activity with Doe was consensual. The university then made the paternalistic and indefensible decision to override her opinion on the matter and described their sex as rape anyway.

The best 3D touch feature is the trackpad keyboard. It's also very not discoverable (who thinks to force touch the keyboard?)

Having said that, 3D touch is far from the only improvement on the 6S. If it didn't have 3D touch I'd still recommend the extra $100 to get MUCH better internals (processor, cameras, touch ID sensor) and a stronger body too.
A lot of what's seen as a "failure" to detect malware is a malware detection policy that isn't strict enough. The strictest policies make it hard to browse the web at all, and the deeper and wider you inspect, the more load on your firewall and less traffic you can handle.

And of course, there will always be clients with non-standard behavior that a more standards-compliant device won't catch, and some cases that are just missed by the product. But firewalls should not be seen as a replacement for client-side network or application security.

This tool is pretty neat, though, and has a lot of uses as a hacking tool.

Here ( https://reason.com/blog/2016/04/06/this-university-cleared-a... ) is Reason on a case where alcohol might have been involved. Who can say?

> Doe and his accuser, "Jane Roe," met during an impromptu gathering at a mutual friend's dorm on August 22, 2014. They first had sex that very night. They exchanged friendly text messages the next day, which were later provided as evidence in Doe's favor at his hearing, according to the judge's decision. They eventually had sex a second time.

> They had sex two more times after that—Roe was the initiator both times, according to the mutually agreed upon facts of the case.

> But on November 6, 2014, the university informed Doe that someone had accused him of sexual misconduct. He did not immediately learn that his accuser was Roe, though he was barred from having any further contact with her. The university also moved him to another dorm against his will.

> Roe's residential advisor and Title IX coordinator had submitted reports agreeing with her contention that their very first sexual encounter wasn't consensual. This logic seems to rest on the disputed fact that Roe was drunk at the time.

> At the actual hearing—which was attended by both Doe and Roe—Roe's roommate testified that she did not believe "Roe was drunk or otherwise incapacitated when she saw her shortly after her sexual encounter."

> A three-person panel sided with Doe and cleared him of sexual misconduct. But Roe appealed.

> At this point, the proceedings veered into Franz Kafka territory. Doe was barely able to review the new evidence against him, and was not allowed to even appear at the second hearing. The new evidence undermined Roe’s roommate’s testimony, but at no point was the roommate called upon to defend her original statements about Roe’s lack of incapacitation. JMU went to great lengths to accommodate Roe—even granting her several extensions on submitting new evidence—while making it all but impossible for Doe to defend himself. As a result, he was found responsible for sexual misconduct and suspended from the university for five and a half years.

> Given that this case appears to rest on whether or not Roe was drunk during the encounter, the accusation seems extremely dubious. Even if Roe had been drinking, mere intoxication does not render a person incapable of consenting to sex. It certainly looks like the university conflated intoxication with incapacitation, and that Roe ultimately failed to prove either state.

2-3 years is average, depending on how much you use your phone. Battery replacements are cheap (we charge $49 for the 5 series right now) and quick to do.

Easiest way to know you need a battery replacement: Your phone gets to 40% or 20% and suddenly just dies on you. That means at least one cell in your battery is dead, and it's time to replace the whole battery.

Also, if your screen is edging up on the left side but isn't cracked or broken, that's a sign of an exploded or "puffy" battery. Usually people have the first issue for a while, don't realize what's happening, and then eventually it goes puffy and explodes. It can even break the screen when it does that.

As with other repairs, if you get a battery replacement at a repair shop, ask about the warranty. Replacement batteries can have real issues, and some runs of them have high defect rates. No big deal if the shop you work with has a good warranty and will just swap it out if it stops working.

America is not a single unified entity. All it takes is one trucking business to outcompete another for all the trucking companies to follow suit in the following decade.

As for individuals, the government might gives tax breaks or ban the things. I think it is most that likely early adopters will use them and brag to everyone how much they save on fuel and airline tickets and how more (work, reading, video games, etc... ) they can do while travelling. Of course there will be holdouts, but they will be quickly outnumbered.

Eventually so few manual drivers will be on the road that they are the exception and 99% of the accidents will be their fault. Then states will start banning driving manually.
I'm with you on wearables - I've been trying to think of mass-market use cases for at least a year now, but I just can't find anything that's appealing outside of niche markets like disabilities and medical monitoring.

As for 3D printing, the biggest problem in my opinion is modeling, not printing itself. The cost of stereolithography printers is finally dropping, and extrusion printers are getting easier to use, but actually printing things is useless unless you have a model you can print. Most people just don't want to spend the time or effort to create a model, especially when you can walk into a store and get a higher quality item that's professionally designed and manufactured for dirt cheap.
I had the same guess: both the huge number of sales people and the explanation of user analytics as the company's focus were giveaways.

It would have to involve pressing two buttons. Putting 9-1-1 on a single button over here has resulted in a lot of false calls, sometimes from simply sitting on a coat containing a phone.
There are many other laws, e.g.:

Zawinski's Law of Software Development: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Atwood's Law: Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

But there is perhaps no greater legal scholar than Norman Augustine:

Law XVI: Software is like entropy. It is difficult to grasp, weighs nothing and obeys the Second Law of Thermodynamics: i.e., it always increases.

Law XXX: The optimum committee has no members.

Law XXXV: It is true complex systems may be expensive, but it must be remembered that they don't contribute much.

While thats true that it could be more automated, its a whole lot easier to automate an "apt-get install nginx-statsd" than manually compiling and having to make sure it doesn't break between versions. Basically I don't want to "own" the process.
Nginx is annoyingly complicated in a microservices environment.

IP addresses of upstream servers change, and sometimes DNS doesn't resolve until another service is brought up. Nginx does not work well in such an environment unless you (1) have ugly configuration hacks, (2) add OpenResty/LUA to your configuration, (3) add a watchdog process, or (4) buy their nginx Plus version and keep track of how many instances of nginx you have.

I want simple. If you need a webserver that can use DNS, Nginx is a lot of extra work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards#/m...

As a layman these sorts of reductions always seemed pretty strict to me. It seemed like a backdoor way of banning ICE's.

We know that we need to hit zero CO2. I think that regulations on emissions are the complete wrong way to go about it, though. Health issues in cities are irrelevant if global warming means the cities are underwater.

Tax the fuel, give incentives to renewable energies and batteries, and let the market sort it out.

Or, have the government seriously attack on the research front.

It feels a bit like we're sitting here with this 'money' abstraction and pretending that energy research is too expensive, when realistically, governments across the world have the might to make clean energy the next Apollo project. Why aren't they? That would be a fantastic legacy for any president/prime minister/whatever.

No, non-citizens are arguably covered: http://scholarship.law.georgetown.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?ar...

"The Constitution does distinguish in some respects between the rights of citizens and noncitizens: the right not to be discriminatorily denied the vote and the right to run for federal elective office are expressly restricted to citizens.12 All other rights, however, are written without such a limitation. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment due process and equal protection guarantees extend to all "persons." The rights attaching to criminal trials, including the right to a public trial, a trial by jury, the assistance of a lawyer, and the right to confront adverse witnesses, all apply to "the accused." And both the First Amendment's protections of political and religious freedoms and the Fourth Amendment's protection of privacy and liberty apply to "the people.""

The restriction to US citizens isn't in the text of the constitution, which is written in the passive voice:

> "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted"

But a bit more digging reveals that it was explicitly banned by US law some time ago, making this discussion of its legality moot: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/20...

I'd also wonder if there's something that skews more people who have rose gold phones to break them? Maybe they're less likely to use a case because they want to show off the color?
