What the Sunway TaihuLight and the World's Fastest Supercomputers Actually Do
Someone commented on his free e-book by saying "meh", and he replied:

Note that this review not only is completely unhelpful with just the single word "meh", leaving me nothing as an author to do to improve... but also that this review was from the kindle edition, which is FREE. ChrisP got a free copy of my book -- intentionally offered that way at a loss of income to both me and my publisher -- and took the time to come here and give a one-word, one-star review.

Seems quite reasonable to me really (though perhaps he'd be better off just ignoring that sort of feedback). I didn't spend long searching this so perhaps he's reacted worse elsewhere.
Researchers Crack ‘Social DRM’ EBook Watermarks
My favorite radiolab episode called 'kill em all' gives a very fun explanation of this technique. The episode is 2 years old, so Zika wasn't a problem yet, but it easily explains the sterilization science: http://www.radiolab.org/story/kill-em-all/
Annoyingly they take long enough to process that the freebooter has already ridden the viral - and revenue - wave to shore. So a DMCA becomes a hassle for the content owner.
You'll have lots and lots of smaller deals, all of them dissimilar to each other and with their own peculiarities.

Sounds like a nightmare to me. On the other hand, Switzerland seems to be doing well (although they are maybe focussing more on the EU than the Britain that you advocate).
Seems to me the problem is layers of "automagical" systems for locating dependencies. That in turn end up clobbering each other in various ways.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Switzerland is unfriendly. I'm saying that it's less friendly than the countries mentioned in the comment. That's because I believe they are too friendly.

Last time I was in Zurich, this is the first thing I've seen at the railway station [1]. This is a very reasonable thing to do for Swiss people and something very different to what is happening in EU during the "refugee" crisis. On the other hand, in the EU it would be considered anti-immigrant or even racist (especially by media).

Same here. Twice now I've installed Raspian on a Pi, left it running without having a real plan on what to use it for, come back to it after a couple of months, and found that it's crashed and doesn't boot anymore. They sound like a great option for small stuff where you just want to leave it running without any real power usage, but I just don't trust them anymore.

I might try once more with the system on a USB stick and a bunch of tweaks to cut down on the background IO. There are other SBCs with built in flash, that might be an option as well.
I hear all the time that the EU prevented war in Europe, but frankly war in Europe has been prevented by occupation by Britain and the United States. There are currently 21500 British troops in Germany. This is going to end in 2020, it will be fascinating to see what happens at that point.

Not really. Once the dust had settled, it was French-German reconciliation that kept continental Europe stable, not the British or US military. Sure, foreign troops in Germany had their role to play, but since the collapse of the Soviet Union 25 years ago, not so much as far as domestic affairs are concerned.
The tricky thing about looking at number of issues is that we have a high volume of interaction on the repo as well as a lot of cruft from even before the beta (I'm looking into winnowing these down). I'm spending 50% of my time on the road interacting with developers, and most of what I'm hearing is that M2 is much better to work with for professional PHP developers, but that there are improvements still needed. We're damn lucky to have an engaged community which will help us to constantly improve, assuming we continue to listen to them (which is a big part of my job). We also have our most senior PM overseeing developer experience.

Regarding PRs, this wasn't something we even _did_ before 2015. I wish we could have a quicker acceptance of PRs, but many are not in a proper state to accept - for example, several PRs have CI failures which are the responsibility of the submitter to fix.
The percentage of immigrants living in a country is a result of a long term process. I believe that what we are discussing right now is the 'refugee' crisis.
You are going to have to abide by those "bummer" consumer protection laws if you are going to sell goods or services to the common market which coincidentally will become harder if the UK really decides to go forth with this lunacy.
Economically develop. Wages in eastern Europe are a fraction of western Europe.
Noone really advocates any form of punishment.

But the UK got extraordinarily preferential treatment in the EU all those decades.

What most people actually advocate is real, tough negotiations, driven by both parties' interests.

And the outcome will --predictably-- not what the Leavers wished for. It will also not be what the EU wished for. That ship has sailed.

Britain will get a deal, based on relative strengths and things the EU and Britain have to offer and the other side wants.

And very much depending on the timeframe the Brits are shooting for. If they want something quick (one to three years) only the Norwegian EFTA model is realistic.

If ten to fifteen years are quick enough all kinds of complicated deals can be negotiated. Can Britain really wait that long?

Were you on your own, trying to support these extensions? That might have been too much to handle, especially in the heyday of Connect - which is why we completely replaced it with a new app store called Marketplace. The big differences are (1) that all code is hosted by us, allowing us to review for quality & plagiarism, and (2) that we are curating the extension list (i.e., there won't be 50 Facebook login extensions).

While you had a bad experience, remember that there are literally thousands of people all over the world who have good income from this business.
Obama said that. Probably just to help the Remain campaign as a favor to Cameron. Trump has said the opposite, Hillary has said nothing aside from repeating how "close our ties are".
What you're talking about is (and especially, has been) a real problem, but that's because of institutionalized racism and prejudice, not because LEOs look the other way when an asshole deservedly gets his nose busted. Not least because many of the jurisdictions that have institutionalized racism of this sort would be quick to jump in if a "stereotypical" white-dude asshole was on the receiving end.

However, perhaps something about this works better when all parties are in the same "community", in a sense. The situation under discussion seems to fit that mold.

This is intentional right?
You're confusing the start of the process of leaving and the following negotiations. Britain and the EU have symmetrical, opposed interests there:

The EU wants a fast official declaration from the UK that they want to leave. They want to start the clock running. If after two years there is no agreement, so what, let's negotiate for however long it takes.

Britain wants fast negotiations, because their economy depends on results, but they don't want to formally start the process. Because if they can't get a deal in two years after article 50 invocation they are in a very, very bad position.
I found it pedantic as well. 'This' really is just the object to the left of the dot, unless 'new' is used to invoke the function with a brand new 'this' object. Functions called without a 'left-of-the-dot' argument, not having a 'this' injected, just see that of the global scope (Window). Call and apply allow to explicitly inject the 'this' object. That pretty much sums up at least 80% of the chapter.
Because dealing with their stupidity has allowed me to not pay for air travel over the last decade.

The leave campaign was explicitly and to a very large part about not having free movement of people.

They just want to keep free movement of goods and services.

Ask HN: Pros and Cons if GitHub were to add a Q/A tab like the “Issues” tab?
Hi,

I was just wondering that there a lot of repos on GitHub with only 1 or two contributors. So it doesn't make sense to ask questions about code on StackOverflow. You can certainly put it in Issues tab but I think they are more about bug reports / feature requests. A lot of repos (like AngularJS) frown upon it, when people ask questions about the code in the Issues tab.

So wouldn't it be awesome if GitHub were to add a Q/A tab like the Issues tab? This way you can get answers from the active maintainers of the repo/code and don't have to wish that somehow they see it on SO (and not break rules by posting questions in Issues tab).

What do you think? What are the pros and cons of such feature?
Still this nonsense? Lots of people make a living writing FOSS, and that's with the competition of non-FOSS companies.

As long as there's a demand for more software, there will be jobs for all the developers needed to write it.
Millions of Americans every year don't pay taxes or file any tax returns. I would recommend that instead.

Why Do You Need to Outsource Mobile App Development?
Corporations answer to their owners. (At least in theory, in practice they are mostly run for the benefit of management.)

The owners can decide on what goals the company should pursue. Profit is just one of the possibilities. (But of course, there's a zero-bound on profit: if you take losses for too long, you don't have a business left.)
Too many lags lately and a couple new releases within about a week have stopped for now. Thinking to spend few packs for only one new released item is ridiculous for the game. If players continue to spend, MZ will continue to release some other expensive and ridiculous items. It's easy money making for them, so why not to release.
You are free to type in any URI you like. In fact, a REST client can save links (bookmarks) or cache payloads that contain these links / forms (templates). But don't expect the server to not change things. So being able to navigate is a form of resilience. For me, thats worth to have with what you call "overhead". I call it a sane tradeoff.
Logically, it doesn't make sense for the EU to impose harsh restriction on trade with the UK. The reason the UK is allowed to leave is that the EU is a voluntary association. By and large, the EU is an association of individual countries, not a federal nation state with its own army. So the countries in the EU have a lot of freedom. If they misbehave you can only kick them out.

What countries would want to leave the EU? I'm not aware of any of the poorer countries wanting to leave. And it would not affect the EU much. For the richer countries, the EU is an enormous benefit, so leaving would be rather silly.

The UK is the only country that has been questioning its EU membership for many decades. But it seems to be unique in the position.

So for normal trade in goods and services, it doesn't make sense for the EU to impose too many barriers.

The financial sector is an exception. It does make sense for the EU to grab more power there.

The big issue however, is that many countries have significant parts of their population that are against the EU. So there is a real risk that the UK will be hit with sanctions, not because it makes sense for the EU, but because it makes political senses in some of the EU member countries.

That would be sad, but that's the world we live in.

> Is it due to Edward's (over)use of the type system, making it fit (however complex) into the Haskell system?

No, not at all. It fits extremely naturally into Haskell's typesystem. The fit is so natural that it's quite astonishing they weren't discovered earlier.
> It's the only way to ensure—like mathematically guarantee—it's safe to vote for your favorite candidate _always_.

I am not so sure. I think there are other systems that can achieve this too. Eg a proportional system perhaps?

Anyway, yes, score voting is still a good idea if you can only elect a single candidate. People already understand how it works from sports.
Achievements and Rewards Programme – No Half Pixels Ltd
I read an engineering guideline on concrete that I wish I could find. It compared the economics of building a steel vs reinforced concrete bridge. Steel came out better when you considered the lifetime and especially the recyclability, but concrete was cheaper to build initially. The steel bridge would last indefinitely, as long as you kept it painted, or even replaced rusted parts.

Reinforced concrete is costly to demolish, and nearly impossible to recycle. Crushed concrete can be used as a filler, but in order to be used for fresh concrete it must be free of contaminates, which is rarely the case, and no one wants to risk the integrity of a new structure of any importance.

The percentage of all concrete structures even built, that are still standing must be quite large. This will not be a great legacy to leave future generations.
There is no difference in JavaScript, they have the same semantics & meaning.

However, single quotes have two advantages (IMO, since this is obviously subjective):

1. can be typed without shift on US keyboard layout

2. I use double quotes inside string literals (e.g. for quoting bad input in error messages) more often than single quotes (mostly used for contractions) so not having to escape double quotes by default is convenient.

Standard (and I guess eslint?) support "single quotes unless a single quote appears in the string", which is ideal (for me).
> since the elusive and charming elements of flavor that make coffee special never get dissolved into the brew, and remain in the coffee grounds, which get thrown away.

Isn't this just elegantly adjectivezed nonsense? The net result of a stoichistic process isn't altered by the speed at which it occurred. So cold-brew shouldn't end-up with a different composition if timed correctly relative to hot-brew?
Yes, though Lyft and Uber are on the verge of replacing their labour inputs with capital. Ie self-driving cars are around the corner.
Bash – opinionated review
It's understandable since it was designed to be a scripting language, easy to pick up and be productive with only a superficial understanding.

You have to get your mind oriented to concepts like closures and prototypes - there's a natural barrier there between the js dev and the real expert. People can get jobs without making the leap. I would think they can keep their job. But at some point having only the superficial understanding will have to be compensated for, maybe in technical debt.

Adblockers on iOS require the 64 bit A7 SoC which was released with the 5S. I'm not sure if there's a valid reason why they couldn't make it work on 32 bit too, whether it was just extra effort or whether they'd have had to make technical concessions, but the way they implemented ad blocking within Safari is different to other solutions (e.g. the side-loaded ad blockers that 05 mentioned) so it's hard to be sure.

> Opening up free trade to the US and Japan would probably be a priority.

And how the deal will be better than the deal between EU and USA/Japan?
I do use double quotes in my JS projects, mostly out of habit though.

One reason I can think of why people use double quotes is because JSON only supports double quotes and it's not uncommon to deal with JSON when you program in JS.

That's an apples to oranges comparison, though. Mud bricks are a good building material, and so are a lot of other things (e.g. wood, bamboo, paper), when the structure only has to support itself and a roof. But concrete enables structures that cannot (or should not) be built with those materials.
Apple has a backdoor for resetting firmware passwords via a special unlock file that must be cryptographically signed using Apple's private key(s).

In theory only Apple employees can sign the unlock files. How many employees have access to sign these unlock files? 10? 100? Every low-level employee? There may be some "bad apple" employees selling the signing of unlock files, some social engineering to trick Apple into providing signed files they shouldn't be, or a vulnerability the researcher has not found that allows attackers to bypass the public-key crypto implementation.

I don't think a second UK referendum is realistic and I'm personally pinning my hopes on a second Scottish Independence referendum, but there is no doubt that the close result is being incredibly divisive. I never thought I'd agree with Nigel Farage, but he did say:

Of course, he meant a 52-48 Remain win - but I think the same principle holds either way.
