If you're curious (as I was) the breakdown of these Nobel laureates is:

41 medicine
34 chemistry
25 physics
8 economics
1 peace
1 Literature

Average year 1998, standard deviation 11.4 years.

Tl;dr - mostly scientists, mostly still working.
You only hate not being able to edit your comment on HN. So do I.
If the 25KB are packaged with each library you add to your webpage, + ads , + analytics then maybe.

One often doesn't need lodash. In fact, the only methods one does need are Object.keys to get the keys of an object and Array.prototype.reduce to iterate over an array, 90% of the time.

But yes, difference, zip, chunk, assign... are semantic and make for cleaner code. And yes flatten, xor are non trivial to implement, and the code one doesn't write is the code one doesn't have to test if already tested.

Of course, the best solution would be for the ECMA spec to implement most of lodash methods. I would also like to see an official way to curry, the same way Function.bind allows partial application.
Is it bad? Yes. Does this happen? Also yes. Maybe you're assuming that there isn't software which gets written and installed but only touched sporadically. Web services will be integrated in some web site and forgotten about. Sometime after the service is shut down some user of the site might notice. It's not the case that all users of a web API are developers like the HN crowd and in the loop of things. To be clear, I'm not saying people should expect different support times, just that one shouldn't rely on a third party when it's all over the network and you have no local copy of the code to potentially operate for longer than officially supported.

They are simply ignoring the real world economic impacts though, which is stubborn to say the least.

The world is no utopia, and as long as money / economic gain is the utmost priority for most of humanity and its corporations, allowing widespread use of patented G.M.O.s will only cause more damage in the long run.

Imagine a whole countries population being dependent upon a companies patented seeds. Now add some secret courts implemented via trade agreements so the country is effectively unable to just "use" these seeds without paying up incredible amounts of money and suddenly you got yourself a situation where the country might end up under effective control by the company.

Yes there's probably still a way out of this dilemma, but with the right/wrong people coming to power through the course of action, you might quickly end up with nationalist government for which the most easy solution is out is a war.

If you can grow food in more hostile environments, won't that mean people move to those more hostile environments and again end up dependent on unreliable food supplies, but now slightly further into the desert/salt flats/etc than before?
They are synonymous because that's the current situation: GMOs are the product of billion of dollars of R&D, on which the owners fully expect a return on investment.

Which means protecting the IP of GMOs, aka. sterilizing / privatizing / patenting seeds, and usually selling additional chemical products related to the GMOs, as in RoundUp resistant seeds, with their own set of problems when deployed on a massive scale.

The Laureates are effectively saying: "GMOs are OK to eat. This scientific / statistical fact has no direct link to how they are developed and sold in practice and what consequences that will have on society, the economy, and the environment. That's a different problem. Stop bashing GMOs."

They are not only missing the point: they are behaving in a very irresponsible way.
> Our memory is limited too,

Is that really true, though? I mean, there most probably is some theoretical limit how much data can fit in a structure of particular shape composed of particular number of neurons, but are we really hitting that limit? Are we even capable of hitting this limit after a lifetime of learning and experiencing? It may feel that way, but it could be a side-effect of some focus-switching and memory-compressing heuristics implemented by the brain.

What I mean is that there are obviously people who learned both JS and a framework, so why wouldn't anyone be able to do this? And I can guarantee that, once you learn it, both JS and a framework fit in your 'cache' perfectly. Actually, I felt no difference between recalling things before I learned a framework and after.

In other words, learning a new framework should be possible for anyone. And programmers are expected to continuously learn new things anyway, it's not "added" cost, it's just part of the job. From this point of view, I can't see any problems with introducing a library, given that it's a good library (docs, active maintainers, community, etc.)
How save is it to plant modified plants? My biggest concern was always, that the plants would spread in to the wild and displace native vegetation.

Or do we already have some commonly used dead man switch so the plants can only survive with additional chemicals put on to the fields?
From an OPSec perspective, yeah, you shouldn't expect that your location couldn't be compromised somehow, even with countermeasures. So in some sense they're right, in a legal sense is where its a bit scary.

Do you have a source for GMO improving yield and nutrition? I thought most GM was Roundup Ready and similar, designed to be herbicide resistant. I've heard of e.g., Golden Rice being more nutritious with beta carotene, but was under the impressioname that yields weren't great. Even with non-GMO there's a well known tradeoff between yield and nutrition (search dilution effect), so this would be a big deal
Well, they did shut down Parse. And that was even a paid offering.

Potentially, but literally no one ever gets yanked for jaywalking. I used to live right down the street from MIT and all sorts of sketchy people stumble their way across streets whenever they feel like it, and that neighborhood has a decent police presence.

The original point is still valid, it was just a bad example. No one gets cited for jaywalking here.

> In short, it leverages the inherent type information of a PIC to speculatively inline jitted methods directly at their call sites.

I'm not sure if you were suggesting that this was unique or novel, but the technique has been around since 1991 and most JITs for languages like Java, Smalltalk, Python, Ruby, etc already do this.

In many cases in those language, if we couldn't do this there wouldn't be any inlining at all and performance would be terrible.
It depends on the problem - if the particular interface is semantically suitable for REST, then there won't be any overhead and REST will just be a useful convention on how exactly you should represent it; and on the other hand if that particular interface needs are not suitable for REST then you probably should implement it with RPC, message queues or whatever other option better suits the problem instead of trying to mangle it into REST paradigm.

I'm totally pro science by default. But I really have huge issues with GMO foods. The patenting is worrisome. The seeds are more resistant than natural occurring seeds and they tend to take over and annihilate other species (Google what's happening with the corn crops in Mexico) and then ponder if a scenario like what happened in Finland in the 70s with the potatoes (they were just farming one kind of crop and it was infected with virus) would happen to a GMO crop (thankfully we have Svalbard Global Seed Vault now).

One other issue is the lack of oversight - the EU was fighting for 12 years to be able to scientifically test and publish the results of feeding Monsanto GMO foods to rats. After this unstable battle, they finally published the results and they were not good: rats fed with GMO food had developed tumors that were as big as their original size.

And worst of all, we are running a massive world scale experiment where the large majority of the the world is feed with GMO food without any prior proof of its long term safety.
And yet, we end up with swarms of minorities in prison for drug use, while many homicides go unsolved.

Yeah your point was sound, the example just turned out to be a bad one :) I've literally never seen anyone cited in central square, but I have friends who have been cited in states where jaywalking is still a thing. As a Masshole I've been lucky as I forget it is illegal in some places and will just cross a street if it isn't dangerous for anyone involved.
GM opponents made the same criticism, then they came up with the terminator gene. But GM opponents criticize that because no seeds come from it.
The thing is that communication style is not a mere decoration: it's an important skill for an engineer.

The EFF wrote about this both last week and yesteday:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/06/federal-court-fourth-a...

It is very concerning indeed, but will hopefully not be a precedent. At least if common sense and a basic level of constitutional competence prevails.

Rule 41 is a huge concern---as mentioned in the EFF posts---and risks decisions like this becoming commonplace. As the EFF mentions, it also encourages forum shopping: finding a court lax on fourth amendment issues, in this case.
Wouldn't a 1998 prize year mean that their major work was done in the 60s and 70s? The average age of Nobel laureates is ~60, which would mean many could be in their 80s now.

I think scoring high on the list in the article requires that you can do all of the above with ease, without learning the language. That would be the case in e.g. Stockholm, Amsterdam, but perhaps more difficult in Paris or Barcelona.

This certainly applies to me. The workaround is to just let those close to you know that you'll be off the grid for a while but are still ok. Then you don't need to worry about them worrying.

So when the government keeps zero-days to itself with plans to exploit them, instead of helping to strengthen security as they should, after this ruling they now have an additional conflict of interest: they have an incentive to keep this line of judicial interpretation viable by keeping security weak.

I have an anecdote about my experience not working for a long period of time. Sounds like I'm in quite a different place in my life to you but I hope you don't mind me sharing and maybe there might be some part of it that is useful. :)

I just spent a year on maternity leave when my second child was born in May last year and headed back to the office in April this year. I'm a software developer for a medium sized team.

Adjusting to not being at work was quite difficult for about the first four months, particularly towards the end of the fourth month where the novelty had worn off but I hadn't really figured it out yet.

Because it was my second leave, I knew that to be content I would have to work through my feelings around my identity without work. It was both difficult and freeing to rediscover myself outside of the pressures of work. I personally felt a little bit afraid that there wouldn't be much left (kind of sad, I know), but I tried to just stay patient with my feelings. I feel like my identity now is more grounded. It was interesting that actually most of the things I value about myself didn't really change. One less thing to feel irrationally afraid of, I guess. :)

With a toddler and a baby at home, I didn't have trouble filling my days, but I thought a lot about how I could best enjoy the time. My goal was just to feel content, not necessarily happy or fulfilled.

The best thing was spending time with my local mum friends. The kids and I would meet up with our friends during the day at least three times a week. I think having a strong, available local network was really important for feeling connected and staying sane.

I joined a local charity for supporting families with babies and ran a group for parents with new babies. It was lovely doing something I felt very passionate about that made the world a tiny bit better. It was kind of nice to be able to use my organisational skills to get it all up and running. A slightly surprising (to me) result was it expanded my social network quite a lot.

I worked on a personal programming project. With all the other things going on, I really needed something just for myself and to work my brain in that way. I would really look forward to the middle of the day when both my kids were resting.

At around four months, we all fell into a fairly comfortable routine. Our days had a fairly standard rhythm and we had regular playdates and play groups to break up the week. The weeks actually started to pass quite quickly at that point.

I feel quite proud that I learnt to live at a slower pace. I miss being able to walk the buggy up to the park just because the day is sunny. It felt quite luxurious to be able to spend as long as I (or my kids) wanted on things, to choose what I was going to do with my day and to not be on a timetable.

I was kind of ready to come back to work after my time was up (small kids are physically and emotionally demanding!), but I was really glad to have the experience. I think in an ideal world, I'd have a career break every five years. It was such a wonderful way to unwind and get some perspective on things.
Even crappy home routers can port-fwd, the real barrier here is the ubiquitous (in America at least) prohibition on "hosting a server" on a residential internet connection.
I'm much less skeptical than the median HN poster about government's use of new technology in its traditional roles of criminal justice and national security, but if this article is a fair summary of the case, I can't see how the ruling makes any Constitutional sense.

Because burglars regularly break into people's homes or cars doesn't make them subject to warrant-free search. If the FBI wants to run code on my CPU in my private home without my permission, they should have a warrant, just as they'd need one to manipulate other objects in my home without my consent.
What about businesses? Should they expect all their computers to be public and if so, doesn't that have serious ramifications for data protection and the prosecution of hackers?
That's a good point. If someone is opposed to both climate change and GMO food on the basis of "this is too complex to understand, so let's not touch it", that would be an intellectually consistent position.

But more often than not, that's not the argument I hear from climate-change-alarmists. Most of the time, the argument they are making falls more into the camp of "we understand the science well enough to know that climate change is definitely happening and will have negative repercussions on humanity. The scientific consensus on this is solid, and we should trust in that scientific consensus."

The second argument sounds a lot stronger than the first, which is why most environmentalists go with that argument. But it's intellectually inconsistent with their opposition to GMO.
To be fair, having tests somewhat relies on having a spec. OK, so in theory we could've had a cross-browser set of tests with some requirement along the lines of "this web page relies on this behaviour", but ultimately you'd still end up with contradictory tests. :)

I wonder if it's worthwhile to spend some time working on the 2.1 testsuite to try and improve coverage at some point. Probably? Unlikely to find so many bugs in mature implementations, hence why so much effort has been spent elsewhere.
