This example is extremely contrived, of course it's going to be a nightmare in C. GUI latency probably has little to do with the overhead of objC message sending and more to do with tuning how things respond for UX purposes. For instance it's well known among gamers that on OSX the mouse has acceleration which makes it smother but less responsive in gaming. I wouldn't be surprised if this carried over to scrolling, animations, etc.

> If I were forced to write an OS X app in plain C, there would be plenty of macro usage around objc_msgSend

You will have re-invented the early versions of Objective C which were all done in the preprocessor :)

The awk script just does terminal escapes, so no real graphics. Canvas is pretty complicated, I'm shying away from that and also since it's time consuming and orthoganal to create pretty pictures for modern hardware. JS is even worse when you try to teach enough to be fancy and portable.

In any case I spent some time on it tonight for my son. I've made a little html file that is a nice harness for him to write JS so he does not have to know much of anything other than innerHTML.

> Christianity is about the person of Christ, it's a historical claim, and therefore open to investigation by reason, according to the historical method

What investigation? That there was a person called Christ living in that period, in that area? Probably hundreds of them ...

That he performed the claims attributed to him? How are you going to verify that? Little written records, general superstition abounded, populace was illiterate and easy to fool ...

The historical facts have been scrutinized for centuries, and each time findings have contradicted biblical facts either the bible itself has been adapted (there are lots of versions), the message has been turned into a metaphor, historical records have been tampered with, ... The remaining message is largely metaphorical, and unverifiable.

Besides: on the one hand you have a small and powerful establishment in control of the message, the historical facts and all secrets which could help in falsifying all christian claims; on the other hand you have those who would be able to unmask the plot, but do not have the access, or even the interest, in doing so.

I specifically mentioned Koschei rather than Baba Yaga because I know there are stories where Baba Yaga isn't pure evil (although I know of rather few Slavic folk tales, not trying to come across as any kind of expert here!). I don't know of any story where Koschei is benign. I have some trouble seeing how that would work out for a character whose defining attribute is having used dark magic to cheat death.

I think the other replies to this post miss the point that gonvaled was making (or at least my interpretation for it!): that, by giving such available options, there are tainting the results.

If someone believes in God to some extent, but they are more sure that the Big Bang occurred, with this poll you are polarizing the answer of that person. That is, if you don't get multiple choice in that question, the results are tainted. That's a possible reason for the absolute 0 responses of "God created the world", where "of people who were 25 years or younger [...] only 42% said they were Christian". "only" for almost half of them sounds a little biased, by the way!

There's Carbon as well, which was replaced by Cocoa. And as of 4 years ago (and I suspect today as well) there are still some things which you could only do in the Carbon's C APIs, so lots of CoreFoundation types which you can bridge directly from their objective C equivalents. Pretty neat stuff how well the backwards compatibility works.
When were you there?

> That's pretty revisionist. Religion certainly was not like that in the past.

"There is a teapot orbiting the sun, between Venus and Mercury". That is a very concrete fact, and in principle verifiable. I am anyway making a claim outside of rational discussion, because I know that with out current knowledge and technology, it is impossible to discuss this fact.

That's how religious facts work: they make concrete claims, but unverifiable with the knowledge and technology of the period when the claim is made.

That those claims are unmasked by the progress in human knowledge is just a design flaw of religion, not a prove that they anyhow want to take part in the rational discourse.
> I would say religion is compatible with anything: since it is not based on reason, it can not conflict with any other human discipline. Which is (if you ask me), by design.

Floods happen often. I see no reason to think 'the grain of truth' means we should even consider the idea that the water went as far as the eye could see.

Your "wide definition of around" is a span of over 1,000 years. Look to the tall tales of the American West, like Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill, for examples of how tall tales can be embellished in an oral tradition. Each ended up giving a creation myth for the Grand Canyon. What is the grain of truth behind those stories?

Your exercise is also one of cherry picking. Consider Job 1:1 with your replacement: "This man was blameless and upright; he feared the Universe and shunned evil." What does it mean to fear the Universe?

Or Job 9:13 "God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet." What does it mean for the universe to be angry? What are the feet of the universe?

Or in Genesis 1:6-8: ""And [the Universe] said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So [the Universe] made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. [The Universe] called the vault “sky.”"" How does the Universe speak?

Also, I find it hard to reconcile omniscience with special relativity, which says that it's not possible to know what lies beyond the light cone. Perhaps each point in the Universe is its own god?
“Bitcoin Inventor” Hired David Bowie’s PR Agency
When I look at London, I'm amazed this trend isn't happening faster.

London is full of young people who are basically just breaking even, spending 50% or more of their monthly income on rent. I think people tell themselves this is ok as long as they're gaining experience and moving up the ladder.

The fact that people aren't moving away in greater number says more about the stagnant UK economy outside of London, than anything else.

I think we're on the cusp of a massive re-think of how we live and work in cities. This will either come through regulation (rent controls, bans on 2nd homes, tax on unoccupied buildings, etc), or innovation (maybe we'll all have homes outside cities and come and stay in Tokyo-style capsule hotels during the working week).

Right now, millions of people are working hard every day to make a relatively small number of landlords richer and richer. It's unsustainable, and I think some major societal change is coming.

IIRC there was a note taking app that was included with Ubuntu for a while. It was mainly removed to save the disk space (the target at the time was CD size), but there was a lot of negative feedback about it at the time.

Some of the negative feedback was deserved, but I think most of it was FUD. I tried to run Mono for some things earlier on, and it was just a lot of effort for things that worked so well in Windows at the time. I think the CoreCLR work and acquiring Xamarin definitely show some work in the right direction here.

I've been doing mostly node.js dev for the past few years, may consider .Net again... tbh, more interested in looking at Go for something though, as an excuse to learn. I do miss some niceties with VS though.

Indeed, they're a very interesting exception to the general rule about healthy people not getting significant irradiation. Pilots in particular could be a useful group to study given that they have mandatory medical checks; however, I'm not sure that the sample would be large enough to yield any statistically significant results, even if the privacy issues could be circumvented.

(Also, you run into socioeconomic confounders: Can you find another population which has both the same irregular schedules and the wage scales of pilots?)

No, he/she checked the return value of the function inside an assert macro. But since Visual Studio no-opped the assert in release mode, the compiler found no use in keeping the returned value of the recursive fibonacci code and thus removed the function call altogether.

Why would anyone be against promoting a technique that has demonstrated a real reduction in fatalities? Sure, in some implementations, there has not been as much reduction. But, I didn't read anything that said the risks increased. Did I miss that?

Or, put another way, instead of 100% chance of reducing fatalities by 50%, you get a X% chance of reducing fatalities by 50%. Still seems like a great improvement.

Fuel-UI: collection of native Angular 2 components for Bootstrap 4
He did say total deceleration, so I believe he meant the landing burn starts at a velocity of 40 m/s and consequently the total ΔV of the landing burn is 40 m/s.

That said, I have no idea where he got that number, whether 40 m/s or 40 m/s^2; both are incorrect.

The best estimate available for the flight dynamics can be found at flightclub.io, specifically for JCSAT-14: https://flightclub.io/results/?id=eeaf889e-f3d8-4f9b-be98-b7...

This shows the landing burn starting at a velocity of 269 m/s and experiencing a peak deceleration of 12.3g = 121 m/s^2

I don't know how accurate these numbers are, but some fans put quite a bit of effort into getting the flightclub.io profiles as close to reality as possible, so they tend to be pretty good.
It's absolutely baffling. This kind of practice is never okay, be it bricking the device(that is borderline not-okay) or injecting garbage data. I, as a consumer, don't care about your IP, I care about the goods which I buy legally, using open platforms(i.e. eBay). If the manufacturer wishes to combat IP infringement, it may do so freely by doing legal action against counterfeit chip manufacturers, but affecting a device that I bought(perhaps unknowingly) is just rude.
YMMV.

In my consistent experience over 5+ years, https always performs worse on poor-quality mobile connections here in the UK. In rural areas with EDGE or poor 3G, a given site will simply not load over https but it will (slowly) over http.

So the trade-off for me is between "senate.gov doesn't load, at all" and "senate.gov does load, but may leak the information to someone that I was looking at senate.gov, or may potentially be MITMed to give me misleading information about the US senate".

The balance of probabilities is such that the trade-off of enforced HTTPS everywhere, on sites like that, is _not_ worth it for me. I obviously don't object to people using HTTPS who want to. Nor do I object to sites where a MITM attack would be catastrophic (e.g. banks) requiring it. What I object to is that, where there's a balance-of-probabilities decision, I am increasingly no longer empowered to take that decision for myself, and the result is that I simply can't view many websites in particular circumstances.

Throwaway because being anything other than 100% supportive of HTTPS is the surest way to burn karma on HN.
Yer. it could be fairly argued i don't care for it well.

But honestly the iPhone 6 is the most breakable thing i've ever owned.
Optimise for the most common case. I imagine there are far more people in the US with broadband connections being put at risk of MITM attacks than people in Kenya with very slow internet trying to look at the US governments website.

Unless MS has a custom C++ runtime that I'm not aware of, I wouldn't consider C++ a high level language like obj-c is, for better or worse. The benefits and drawbacks of runtime dispatch are highly debatable, but the amount of runtime metaprogramming you can do in ObjC is comparable to what you can do in a language like Ruby:

* Call any method (send message in objc parlance) based on the string name of the method
* Add methods to existing classes you don't own
* Swap existing method implementations of a class you do not own at runtime (method swizzling)
* Get and set variables by their string name for subclasses of NSObject
* Check if an object has a method with a given name (great for invoking methods conditionally)

Perhaps most smaller apps, yes. And some big ones too. But a very significant percentage of the commercial software industry writes apps for OSX in C++, including Autodesk, Adobe, many major games written using engines like Unreal and Unity (which also support other languages), etc.

That's not a knock against anyone who does or doesn't write apps in a particular language; but folks should know what the reality is, and Objective C or Swift are by no means the only or even necessarily the most profitable ways to writes apps for OSX, though those languages are perfectly fine for many circumstances.
You're completely right about the economy outside London. I'm from London and love it but i can frankly say the UK's biggest problem is having only one genuinely world-stage level successful city.

As for "ctl": Bear in mind that there are a lot of "ctl" commands. initctl (from upstart), netctl (from Arch), rcctl (from OpenBSD), pfctl (from OpenBSD), ip6addrctl (from FreeBSD), ntpctl (from OpenBSD), hastctl (from FreeBSD), swapctl (from 4BSD), rctl (from FreeBSD), pppctl (from FreeBSD), smartctl, journalctl, bootctl, localectl, busctl, coredumpctl, hostnamectl, machinectl, timedatectl, loginctl ...

Pick unadorned "ctl" for the systemd one, and one begs the question of why systemd alone is special enough not to require its name in the command.
