But TBH it does tarnish their brand a bit, in my eyes, and I don't fully understand why this is a big enough improvement to dilute the brand at all.

I can understand why piping is attractive, and if you want it as a language defining feature as the author that's your prerogative. :)

So is the .new() method in that case an alternate constructor (i.e. constructor code will not run only the contents of the new method will) or is it a method being invoked after the constructor code runs?

Let's not blame Chinese learners for the US's political refusal to provide free university education. And when the US was developing, it notoriously thieved intellectual property, to Charles Dickens' dismay. (Because that's how you develop.)
Alternate title for the article: "Lists of lodash features replaced by ES6 if you don't mind throwing an exception when given invalid input such as null or undefined".

All kidding aside, a lot of our lodash code ends up looking something like this:

function (xs) {
return _(xs).pluck('foo').filter().value();
}

That code clearly expects that xs is an array of objects. However, we might occasionally end up with xs being undefined, or with xs being an array but one of the elements is null, etc.

Most of the time, we want our function to just swallow those errors and return an empty array in such cases. This is exactly what lodash does, but if we tried to call xs.map(...) in that case we'd get an error. Similar caveats apply for grabbing the foo attribute if one of the array elements ends up being null or something.

For this reason, I recommend continuing to use lodash almost all of the time, even when there's a native Javascript method available.
Red Hat touts Linux experience as container differentiator
Wow bro you're so right. The reason is 100% culture. Nature has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's all nurture. Omg. You're so enlightened.

The fact that men evolved for millions of years tackling incredibly hard logistics problems (hunting animals, warring against other tribes and nations) while women evolved during that time in social roles that revolved around bearing and caring for children has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that men gravitate more towards solving logistics problems than women. Absolutely not related. Nope. Not at all. It's all CULTURE! Nature had nothing to with it, it's all NURTURE!

/s

You're blaming it all on culture but only a sith deals in absolutes. The real answer is a combination of nature and nurture. Your black and white thinking reveals your cluelessness.

Watch this documentary if you actually want to learn the empirical truth about nature, nurture, gender, etc:

http://vimeo.com/19889788

Until then, have fun remaining in your hypnotized trance state of thinking in absolutist black-and-white terms and blaming culture for everything you don't like.
Have you heard a woman's voice in this "masked" state? It still sounds extremely feminine because of the manner of speaking. It's very odd. You can even hear it in this short clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFqRIvd9d5s

That alone gives the observation questionable merit.
It's still a scientific study, or an attempt at it at least. The way to go, is not to dismiss it because it was retracted under dubious circumstances but rather to have several third parties replicate the study correcting the flaws that were found in the original one.

If you are curious why I said dubious circumstances, read https://www.rt.com/op-edge/monsanto-gmo-studies-reports-588/.

That's the whole point - the proper conclusion is "the numbers are meaningless, the experiments we did cannot provide any opinion about the existence, magnitude and direction of such differences", and any conclusions you might draw from seeing some specific numbers would make you less informed than you are right now.

> The real travesty of the current state of GMOs is that things like "Roundup-Ready" plants do nothing to reduce the usage of chemicals.

In my understanding, this is not quite accurate. The perception of "organic" farming is that they do not use pesticides, but this is not accurate. Organic farming does use pesticides, but they just happen to not be synthetic - that is, the pesticides happen to be "naturally" occurring. But that does not necessarily make them safer.

So, if you have a crop which is engineered to be resistant to a very particular, effective pesticide, then it is possible that you will end up using less overall pesticides when compared to organic farming. See http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/organic-pestici...

The Austrian experimental physicist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Tajmar is a legend already, since he measured in 2002 a gravitomagnetic effect in spinning superconductors at Seibersdorf, but this sensational effect is also probably just bad experimental setup and not a new gravitational theory.

President EU Parliament:“Not EU Philosophy That the Crowd Can Decide Its Fate”
> Can we than fire the judge?

This was a federal district judge, who under the U.S. Constitution (Article III) has life tenure and can't be fired; he can be removed from office only if impeached by the House of Representatives and convicted by the Senate after a trial.

The chief judge of the district could cut this judge's case load to zero [0]. In this case, though, (A) that's very unlikely to happen, and (B) the judge would still stay on full salary.

[0] EDIT: This sort of happened, for example, to (now-former) federal district judge Sam Kent in Galveston after he was accused of "inappropriate touching" of female court employees. See http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Criminal-cas... Kent later pled guilty to a felony charge of making false statements to investigators; he tried to retire from the bench so as to keep his pension, but that pissed off the House judiciary committee, which pushed through articles of impeachment, which caused Kent to resign. He served not quite three years in prison. See http://bigbendnow.com/2011/08/disgraced-former-judge-complet... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_B._Kent
OUCH.

It's weird that companies that companies who compete so fiercely in the same markets really ever manage to work together. Once Oracle became a systems manufacturer HP had to know that they would boff them.

From a technical perspective, the stuff that HP has in Nonstop, OpenVMS, and Super Dome are really impressive. I read that they sold OpenVMS to a third party that is busy porting to x64. Looking forward to running it in VM's for fun...because I have a weird sense of fun. Stop judging me.
At the first link, I'm immediately turned off by his follow-up: Capitalism is fucking bullshit

What's really ironic is that this experience shows how well capitalism does work, more effectively than other systems can: The reviewer found a bad product, reviewed it honestly, and is now helping other people stay away from it. Let's see you try to make that happen when you're faced with poor and disinterested government-provided services.

So we just declare our research labs "safe spaces" to keep them out. And if any Chinese student complains we deflect by accusing them of cultural appropriation for wearing clothes from the Gap.
The article doesn't seem to consider that London may become more attractive to the financial sector. You know what banks hate? Regulation, you know what the EU has loads of .... that's right regulation. The UK will be able to offer a environment where financial services can thrive. Seems to have worked out for Singapore, and London already has quite the head start.

Interesting times.

> Judicial elections are ... tricky, but reasonably common.

It's state judges (in some states) who are elected. This was a federal district judge; they're appointed for life by the president with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The only issue I have with Chinese students is how acceptable cheating seems to be in their culture. Obviously this isn't true for all Chinese students, but it is wide spread enough that my parents (Professors who teach grad classes in physics and oceanography) say that you can't trust the standardized test results of Chinese students because there is a good chance they cheated.

Oh and they are often racist. Really racist.
iirc, that's actually been ruled true before....
Not statistically significant means that it is exceedinly likely that the difference was simply due to randomness in the subject selection, and that no difference in fact exists. At this point you're just reviewing the researchers' methodology.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the lack of statistical significance, std deviation, p-values, etc. Opinions are great and charts are fun but I don't really know that the conclusion is justified outside of Ferguson and other specific municipalities.

> If the UK negotiate to be part of the EEA within 2 years of activating Article 50, then it will be a smooth transition.

As I have tried to explain, negotiating to join the EEA while still a member of the EU is illegal under EU law. They can only start that negotiation after actually leaving the EU, not after triggering Article 50.
Sure, this is more and more the case families have one desktop PC to do important stuff, like bank transfers and backups on family photos and videos. Then we have personal computers: smartphones and tablets and some laptops.

If you can not expect privacy on your Home Computer, you can not expect privacy in your home. End of story.

By that logic, residences are also not private. As they can be hacked into easily (probably would require even less sophistication)

> If you introduce mutation based on human engineering, you could easily (even inadvertedly) develop something very dangerous, e.g. move a gene from a bacterium to a plant, but now all of a sudden this plant becomes as resistant/dangerous as the bacterium was, on a much larger scale!

This is 100% False. There is essentially no risk of accidentally transferring a bacterial protein to a plant. The molecular machinery involved in transfection is complex and fragile. The transfer process is gated and specific. Even if there was a transfer of the wrong gene the result would be a dead organism, not a super-organism.

Eukaryotes do not tolerate random prokaryotic genes in their genome in place of a functioning gene. The introduced gene has to be specifically designed/selected to be compatible with the target organism.

Whoever is telling you this is doing the exact fear mongering these Nobel laureates are advising against.

It is so much the opposite of easy to do what you describe that it is essentially impossible.

I don't understand why anyone would still require special notation for interpolated strings, when we have the awesome and unambiguous string interpolation syntax introduced by Swift (granted, this project was started in 2011, before Swift).

> Reference counting has the benefit of giving consistent, and more easily measured performance. There's no fear of the garbage collector suddenly leaping into action right at the worst time, or having to tune the collector to minimize pauses.

LoL. Refcounting can lead to just as long pauses as GC, if your reference is the last reference to a huge object graph.
They should not be using a blog post to convey critical safety information to their customers.
That's great news, and probably needs to be more widely known.
That's not how genetics works - moving a gene from a bacteria to a plant will not make that plant bacteria-like.

Please consider that the vast majority of scientists who work in this area disagree with your logic - that is what the entire NYT piece is about.
Yes, yes I am. The Chinese government is completely complicit with the information robbery campaign that they have waged for decades. They don't give two fucks about the trials and tribulations necessary to create knowledge as long as they can steal it and make it for cheap.

Am I blaming the average Chinese citizen? No.

But the Chinese government IS composed of millions of people, who are either complicit (in that the information stolen benefits them directly or the local businesses whose growth helps the bureaucrat's rankings) or actively working to steal every byte of information that American researchers worked damn hard to create.

And before anyone comes back with the predictable "but America stole information to grow their economy in the 19th century too!" response, first tell me why abundant land, natural resources, and immigrants weren't as big a factor, unless you seriously think forging steel is as significant as manufacturing high-precision electronics.
>I have to admit, that would probably crystallize the relevant afternoon a bit in my memory.

He was high. I think that part was corroborated by multiple people. Everybody reacts differently. How Adnan reacted when he heard she disappeared shouldn't be the backbone of deciding whether or not he is innocent or guilty.

All the other kids didn't think murder when she disappeared either. There was a rumour going around that she ran away to Cali to see her father. It took a few days before the realization sunk in.

No, there's only one constructor for any given class. The body of a class is the constructor of a class, and that constructor is made available through a method called .new. It's sort of like...Python, and imagining that you get __init__ created for you automatically. It's just two ways of doing the same inner call.
Was just going to say the same thing. Appeal to Scientific Consensus becomes the new Appeal to Popularity or Authority fallacy, just due to scope of study.
No, we really don't.

What we know is what has happened in "nature", and while we can try to extrapolate from that, we really have no clue as to what is possible.

Even though you grossly exaggerate how genes work with regards to resistance/danger, the possibility of phenotypes that could lead to negative effects in human consumers is just as real by "natural" means.

I don't really think your comparison with nuclear weapons works though; for one, there is no such thing as a "natural" nuclear weapon - not to mention that a "natural" (objective) concept of "weapon" (irrespective of any subject making/wielding/using/thinking about/whatever) would have to exist if we were to compare apples to apples.

I agree. Yet, the spirit of "Show HN" is for items that other people can try out or play with rather than prose such as blog posts.
I think you misunderstand. The whole premise here is that none of the principals care where you're incorporated.

A company whose primary employees are in Europe and whose primary customers are in Europe can still be incorporated in Delaware and traded on the NYSE. These tax avoidance mechanisms aren't for "US companies," they only work if you're in practice an international company. A "European company" which is also in practice an international company could do the same by becoming nominally a "US company" without changing anything of consequence about their operations. Because international companies don't really care where they're incorporated.

The trade war isn't between US companies and European companies, it's between companies big enough to be "international" and everybody else.
This is ridiculous. Racial quotas in American universities select against Chinese people in favour of on average less-capable whites. One of the more noxious examples of modern racism is the fact that the ivies have much higher standards for Asain students than for any other race. Basicly a reply of the 1930s Jewish quotas.
The US is a pretty poor corporate tax haven. Our corporate rates are higher than pretty much everybody in the EU (including soon-to-be-out-of-the-EU Britain). It's one of the major contributing factors to corporate inversions (the moving of corporate headquarters out of the US) and companies like Apple not bringing overseas profits back to the US.
That's why people concatenate all the JS (and CSS), at least for a production build.

The idea behind my comparison is simply, that we can engineer things much more dangerous than nature can, that would never appear in nature by themselves.

The fact of the matter is that GMOs contain the same genetic material we already consume on a daily basis. We understand how it impacts our bodies (it pretty much doesn't) and there is no distinction between genetic material from a GM organism versus a conventional organism. It's chemically and functionally identical (derived from the exact same nucleotide bases and the genes already exist elsewhere with the same function), and has the same impact on your body. This is something that we've studied for a very long time, and understand fairly well.
I really hope that either a) the PBS Kids app on the Apple TV still has a couple shows or b) Amazon and Apple work out their differences and get Amazon Video on the Apple TV, because my 16 month old gets to watch TV the only time a day for 15 minutes of Daniel Tiger everyday before his nap. He's such a creature of habit that I'd probably have to go get a Fire TV Stick or make significant changes to my home network so AirPlay worked with that TV, otherwise my wife have a month of struggle to get him adjusted to a new routine.
On the one hand, IIRC, Windows Server on Itanium was almost useless for anything but running SQL Server.

On the other hand, I think I remember reading a couple of years ago that per CPU core, Xeons were already beating Itaniums in performance for database workloads. The main advantage apparently is that you can stuff lots of CPUs into an Integrity server, but mostly a cluster of smaller x86_64 machines has a good chance of being faster and cheaper.
Are you charging him with murder or lying to the police? A weak or even shattered alibi still leaves him with a presumption of innocence which the prosecution must overcome beyond a reasonable doubt.

To my understanding, Swift wasn't public for a long time. The idea behind requiring a special syntax for interpolation is that it's supposed to be more clear as to do you really want interpolation, or do you not actually want it. I'm :/ about the interpolation syntax right now. One thing I wanted to avoid is telling people "oh no your string never terminated."

You're right about reference counting being able to pause. But that's something you're more able to control. If you're doing game dev, you can say "I won't assign to references that might be big" during frame critical code.

With garbage collection, you're more or less "Run the gc before, hope it doesn't trigger during that critical spot." or the alternative of fiddling with the gc/manually firing it off so it doesn't stop your world when it's a bad time to stop the world.
