Exactly. Rx was created by MS research for Azure -- mostly to abstract away the threading model in the cloud - why reinvent the wheel when Observable / Rx is built for every platform you use and is fantastic.

When ELM came along with its signals, im like, meh, why not Rx? Im not even going to bother to learn it, your at v0.1 and ur gonna see why u need it soon enough. Subcritiption? Dont reinvent the wheel like Redux? Why not Rx? A few months later, everyone is going "how we we handle async actions properly?" Well thats an Observable my dear friend!

Just like when Flux "came out". They just rebranded Event Sourcing in the client UI.

Im getting pretty fed up with all this mumbo jumbo. I write C# mostly, i like FRP, ES, unidirectional flows. Im going to bring a slim universal c# solution with a typescript/JS bridge to the OSS community. The main philosphy is, one client/server architecture, to build scable responsive apps. With builtin backpressure handling.

If ppl had just embraced Rx like 6years ago when it was first V1'd, imagine how much further along the road we would be now? Like seriously, get over urself OSS fanboys, just cause its MS, doesnt mean its bad.
With people like Moxie the future doesn't look that bleak anymore. The guy is really dedicated to what he is doing and, quite honestly, it is pleasing to see someone in the tech community who is not egocentric around creating his online persona. I'm not trying to insult anyone, just expressing gratitude that there's people who care about code, not striving to become rock stars.
All the talk about encryption and privacy seems to ignore this basic point. Association can be dangerous and this does not protect people from exposing themselves in that way.
Electron 1.0 is here
Translation: Firefox is not Apple nor Google or Microsoft whom has literally unlimited resources. By having engineers on Test Pilot they are having less resources to do what he think is important

Personal Take: Completely agree. I am opening up Firefox with Panarama Mode missing, Pocket, Hello.

And BTW, e10s hasn't shipped yet, and at the current timeline, even if it ship in Firefox 49/50 it will still not be any good for power / heavy tab users, which incidentaly is the only group left using Firefox, most have moved on to Chrome.

I see light of hope in Servo. But liscenses ( MPL? Why not Apache 2.0 ) are a concern for a few company to join and devote resources into it. ( Apart from Samsung )
What about with people from those regions? Most problems with the Pirate Bay involved the founders being in countries friendly to the US, and a lot of problems with other shut down sites like Silk Road had the founders in the US itself.

Imagine if something from the government regime in those countries sponsored such a site. Would the US be willing to get in a massive geopolitical argument with Russia or China over some copyright disputes?

I actually wrote a few blog posts debunking the feasibility of the solar road, so I'm well aware of it and I may not be an engineer but I was a scientist once upon a time and I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron - uBeam seems like something else entirely. There's a very good idea inside of uBeam's probably misguided goal to act as a phone charger, which from what I read, is a big part of their pitch to VCs.
Keep in mind that you still need to obey the laws of thermodynamics. Those are rules startups can't ever break.

The writeup I linked has a good argument against the feasibility of wireless power for a TV:

> A typical large, flat-screen TV (eg. [42]) will draw about 60 watts. Since a TV is usually mounted in one place, some of the limitations get easier, but not all - if the TV is two feet (60 cm) from the wall, and the receiver is 40% efficient, that's still about 80% losses. To transmit 300 watts at 0.3 W/cm^2, one has to have a 1,000 cm^2 transmitter, a bit over a foot on each side (31.6 cm). One could make the transmitter smaller (100 cm^2, or 4 inches/10 cm across) by increasing the intensity to 165 dB, a level that causes burns "almost instantly" (from Question #7), but that seems unwise. Since most power outlets are near the floor, and the TV probably isn't, one would still have to run a cord to the transmitter. And uBeam takes 240 watts of electricity, about a dozen light bulbs' worth, and dumps it into the air for no real reason. That's not good for the environment. Or the power bill. Or the air conditioning - all that heat makes the room hotter.
11 Untranslatable Words from Other Cultures
Well, you are wrong. Ad Hominem means, "X is wrong because Y making that claim is a jerk".

I am saying "X is a claim in a highly technical field that most of us lack expertise in. Y making that claim has a made large factual errors in prior publications, and his claims run contrary to the vast majority of his peers."

Sorry if you miss the nuance in my point. People also have referred to this concept as "taking with a grain of salt" or "heuristics".

Now, outside of arguments over semantics, the link article is lousy and the interpretation over what the lousy article claims by the great-grandparent post are incorrect.

The TL;DR of the linked article is: "They should have used data from another sensor, too. Based on 5 months of overlap, I'm going to assume I can just adjust the other sensor's data and use them in a single trend. Even if you accept that, I'm going to use a linear regression in this new cherry picked range, after making a big point about the nonlinearity of the underlying data. Even minimizing it the most I can, it still shows a 40 year trend of 3 mm annual sea level increases."
But it is relevant bringing as sources people that is not an expert in the field?
But they don't sell "problems" they make and sell food, some of which is good for you and some not so much.

The reason why they exist at the level they do is because of the economies of scale you gain from being able to order millions of tons of grain, sugar, milk, etc., then processing them in huge factories, then distributing them to other huge companies that own grocery stores and vending machines, etc. It doesn't strike me as morally questionable to include other products, including medicine (OTC or not) in that process. In fact, if it makes the medicines more affordable it can be more beneficial for the people who need it than not.

The reason why activists keep going after them and other large corporations is because getting them to change their behavior, when they're one of the largest purchasers or creators of something, can make more difference than lobbying the government to make every corporation follow suit. Which is why we should try to encourage them to do better about issues that matter, including changing packaging and contents of "junk" food.
MediKeep 2.0 is here
I think whether or not we do an Android port will depend on how this release fairs (since this post, we have gotten traction from Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/image-search-keyboard). We targeted iOS because we’re working on a framework for rapidly developing custom iOS keyboards (which we describe some more in our launch blog post: https://log.rocketshipapps.com/image-search-keyboard-5a6b37a...).

Our image results aren’t instant (you have to hit a search button first), but this is a good idea for a future iteration.

See I think this is a culutre thing, but I imagine it doesn't work for the entire USA but is locked down to the left politically correct spectrum, because to me it's not all that bad a word.

Point being, I could quite happily call someone from work a MILF in a semi-serious / semi-jokey way and get away with it. In fact, I've said worse and had success because if the woman likes you, she'll like the fact you said it.

Now where the problem lies in this example is the guy should have read the signals that she wasn't interested and not just try it on anyways. Then again, I'm not sure why she'd move over to a private medium if she wasn't acting interested.

But I get it, you're outraged at a couple of tidbits of information that aren't guaranteed to be in order and are largely without context of the conversation. I can't really argue with that.

Ah, university notes. By the time we get to university, we're usually in good hands and you're smart enough to make it regardless of what you think about your education.

The issue is more about public education policy and the millions who don't make it to higher education, or who waste it. And all the lower level classes that don't amount to anything.

For someone to amount to something, they need to be productive. If you have a job, you know this by heart. Your production is the amount to measure, just as an artist is measured by their paintings. And to say mathematics or programming is about learning before building is total BS. Most self taught programmers do so building things. Engineering requires understanding, so if you've engineered it, you've acquired the knowledge.

If something has no productive value, then it would have no value (beyond academia). So the key is simply this: Make sure to arrive at productive value before the end of each course, and let students experience the production of it.

Of course there are better schools, better classes, and better teachers who practice this. There are students who get it, and already do it without being told. It's just that the whole paradigm is still backwards.
> people might read it

But will people pay for it? You cannot pay your rent or student loans with exposure.
> The Al Gore, IPCC arguments look bad to me, just from what I wrote, that the temperature record and the CO2 record convince me that CO2 has little or nothing to do with temperature.

You citing Al Gore is enough to prove that you don't want to learn about the actual science and that you already have a position that won't change
He is not, it is not rare to have 120 tabs, in fact some extreme even have 400+ Tabs openned. Today is rather lightweight for me and has 70 Tabs.
Of coz these wont be all loaded, Once you close and reopen those tabs will be unloaded. They are more like a list of things to read and do.
The point is because a lot of businesses have customized rules that fall outside checkbox options... Just look at how much customization happens with the likes of SalesForce... I don't think that will be automated away soon... Same goes for anything related to localized construction... We're a long way away from automating that too... Not saying it will never happen, but it'll be around the time we get flying cars.

It's required because your phone is where your messages are stored.

Whatsapp don't retain messages/media after they've been delivered to your phone, which is a compelling privacy feature for many.

It's also what allows them to serve such an enormous user base with limited hardware. Their technology stack (FreeBSD/Erlang) is pretty interesting, more info here:

There's likely no technical reason why you couldn't use a pc instead of a phone for users that want to use the pc as the primary client (with the phone optionally accessing the DB on the pc in the same way that the desktop client does for the phone). Perhaps they've decided that this is a small and declining market.

Getting tired of constantly cleaning malware from my father's and sister's laptops, I've installed Linux Mint for them. No complaints so far (few years later) and I highly doubt they are hackers.
On MacOS Classic (no memory protection) you can happily write to address zero and replace whatever is stored there (I think Apple wisely left that memory address unused, though).
They are getting shit-talked by their VP of Engineering, you know that person who is actually responsible for creating that hard tech and is saying that it's impossible.

Yeah, no use to me either, althogh I did recently upgrade my windows 7 vm to windows 10 (there's no windows 7 version either). Very odd.
> edit: fascinating how easy it is to be downvoted simply by pointing out the lack of credibility of AGW skeptics.

I think you have it wrong.

Usually it seems far easier to get downvoted here if you are on the "sceptic" side.

That said in your case it might be because you go straight to attacking the credibility of the source without saying anything about the accusation of blatant cherry picking of data.

Some commenters try to point out that those 97% of scientists that you refer to are a result of a pretty interesting way to do surveys and statistics.

And it only takes one Galileo to observe that the sun doesn't rotate around the earth.

It is annoying to have to refute every claim instead of wrapping them in a "denier" blanket statement and rubber stamp with "97% of scientists disagree" (for extremely fuzzy values of 97)

Edit: I work in solar and have previously worked in recycling. I am a sceptic possibly about to become a believer but what I perceive as arrogant PC rubber stamping of anyone who asks questions is really annoying to me.
In addition to these three, there are some things that simply won't be understood fully until you're in the middle of working on it, plus there are almost always unforeseen complications, edge cases, etc. Even if no major issues are encountered, having to deal with several smaller problems can slow down development significantly.

Non-engineers probably liken feature and project completion to a simple shot at a bullseye but it's really more like trying to hit a moving target at the end of a labyrinth.
What do you think the suitability of Electron is for software that is designed to provide revenue with per seat licences and no service component? I.e. 'traditional desktop app'. It seems to me, given how easy it seems to be to copy and modify an Electron application a third party could always copy an application, whitewash it and capture a portion of the market.

The counter point to this is that ownership of the developer brand and distribution channel is which will always drive sales. I'm not sure which aspect is more important when planning a technology platform and revenue model...
> less trying to convince people

> less calls to action

> less promotion of the tiny irrelevant bad things that it's doing

> less hiding of the good things it's doing

> more promotion of engineering solutions

So absolutely nothing to do with actual evidence then.

Even if it's "just a wrapper" the native notifications are worth it for me. I really wish iMessage would have a web view like WhatsApp that you can just open on another computer though. Even if it's not a Mac.
This is what I love about fb messenger over whatsapp. You can use it on your pc even without your cellphone. This dependency on the mobile makes no sense at all. It kills half the usecase.
It would be nice if Electron could enable cross-platform apps, written in languages other than javascript, that compile to native for the back end and to javascript for the front-end.
I've heard of a case where some guy put a pot with poisoned sugar water on his lawn to kill neighbor's bees and the other guy sued him. Don't remember what the result was, but it wasn't dismissed as obviously no-issue.

That's cool but seeing as Bitbucket has unlimited private repos for everyone, I'll be sticking with Bitbucket for private trash and Github for public trash.
> Guess how a shark tooth winds up buried in Montana?

My guess is plate tectonics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics
I'm sure a lot of people will be moving from Bitbucket to this, Bitbucket's plans were great for hundreds of repos, but Github's ecosystem is definitely preferable.
Ok, not necessarily but I know for example that for the Entroware Apollo they worked with upstream Ubuntu Mate to get the touchpad working. Everyone benefits from that. In practice, you will have very little problem installing other disto's on System 76 systems from what I have heard.
This is, of course, a positive way to spin the fact that they're raising prices significantly for many organizations.

I'm glad there's at least a year that we can keep using the old plans.
Question following up on the remark "Do you need FP64? If so, right now the OG GTX Titan is the default choice"

I am purely after FP64 performance for scientific compute.

a) what does the "OG" stand for?
b) what about the titan black model? seems to offer yet a bit more FP64 performance than the normal Titan?
The reason for the negative reaction is that there is a difference between "there are obviously many obstacles," and "they are promising something that is impossible under the laws of physics." Many people here on HN feel that it's the latter. I also personally know people who are legitimate potential uBeam customers, who were approached by uBeam looking for funding, and who were given the brush-off when they asked to see a working demo.

While it's nice to think that we could let uBeam toil along in the minute hopes that they might succeed, the problem is that they don't exist in a vacuum. The impossible specs that they are putting out there are almost certainly preventing legitimate technologies from getting funded, since you'd have to address the elephant in the room in your pitch deck. Additionally, companies like uBeam and Theranos create massive undertows when they go under -- no VC is going to go within a mile of a blood testing or wireless power delivery company for years after.

Finally, there's a simple way that uBeam could silence all the critics -- they could show some data in a public forum that proves that they can overcome even a few of the basic physics challenges that have been posed. Despite the withering criticism, they've refused to take that step. That's very telling.
For comparison, quoting from the AWS CodeCommit pricing page...

AWS CodeCommit costs:

$1 per active user per month
For every active user, your account receives for that month:

10 GB-month of storage

2,000 Git requests

And the 1 year free tier is:

5 active users
50 GB-month of storage
10,000 Git requests
I think you should try web app disabling the internet on your phone. Have you tried it? If watsup store the messages on its servers, it would be able to retrieve. But this is also not reliable since they may check phone connectivity before they retrieve from their "servers". I am still skeptical that they may store on servers behind the scene at least for speed and performance.
/agree.
I'm glad. Occasionally I would delete abandoned projects to make space and now they can live forever to remind me of my failure!
We will have to agree to disagree on the chart. For better or worse, the 2016 global land+ocean anomaly is on track to be double 2006 (1.2 C vs 0.6 C), or .06 C past the cutoff of the y-axis and well above the reconstructed MWP peak.

"E.g., was the Little Ice Age caused by less CO2? I doubt it!"
