Awesome things in store for Swift. With Rust like memory model as alternative and async/await I think it will massively broaden the appeal of Swift. I can start to see Swift taking over as the main mainstream language in the future. Java and C# has just accumulated too much cruft, they will be the new C++ languages. You can do anything but you have to accept a lot of complexity and awkward syntax to do that.

> Either at some point we will collectively wise up and re-decentralize or we'll go further down the path we're already on.

It'll have to get a lot worse before it will get better. This is just another case of the pendulum swinging, and for me the reason to stay away from these centralized services as much as I can. This isn't always easy, especially not when for other people the web is now synonymous with Facebook and Google (and maybe one or two other websites).

Over the years the trend has been a steady reduction in the number of websites that the average surfer uses on a daily basis, this is now < 10 for most people, with a shockingly low 90 or so websites visited per month.

Silo-forming is a logical response to the messy free-for-all that we had (in part Facebooks success is the fact that it limited freedom of expression over HTML), but this has now far overshot the mark where dependency on these very large services is fast becoming an Achilles heel.
If you want to find the reason to be upset, you will.

There is no lack of efforts to get scientists discussing (shameless related plug http://sciboards.com), but unfortunately there is a disincentive for scientists to do so (politics).
How could that be the case? Tap water is nowhere close to mineral saturation. It should make an astronomically small difference. If anything, it could be less corrosive due to the higher resistance.

I do see a possibility for it to be slightly more corrosive in pipes under specific circumstances, due to the lack of anything forming a passivating layer on the long run. But for teeth I have a hard time believing this.
> Timely, well-reasoned, and excellent article by Schneier.

I thought it was pretty breathless. He says

>> Retaliation is politically fraught and could have serious consequences, but this is an attack against our democracy. We need to confront Russian President Vladimir Putin in some way ­ politically, economically or in cyberspace ­ and make it clear that we will not tolerate this kind of interference by any government.

(my emphasis)

I don't see that the New York Times, releasing the same information, would come in for criticism, much less this level of demonizing. If other countries want to interfere in our elections by giving us accurate information, what's the problem supposed to be? That's the whole point of having elections.
There's a strong moral argument in favor of the DNC leaks: the American people ought to know that its political process was corrupted by powerful actors within its own institutions.

Schneier said, "This kind of cyberattack targets the very core of our democratic process. " In this case, though, the attack targeted actors who prevented democratic process.

Were we exposed to fictitious narratives intended to advance pro-Russian agendas? Was truth revealed, without manipulation of content? It seems to be the latter.

Attacking the polls would be unacceptable and deserve retaliation, but it hasn't happened yet. Attacking a whistle blower who has helped to reveal a corrupt political process isn't something I'd agree with. Schneier speculates that foreign influence will continue into the polls -- I guess we had better strengthen the election process and ensure transparency, then.
It's not entirely zero though. I learned/was reminded of this by 'Capital in the 21st century': Poor people make up society, when they are pushed over a certain line of comfort they will apply pressure to the system to rectify.

In these situations rectification can mean one of several things: Decapitating all who are or seem to be in power or inflating currency until being rich loses its meaning.

Obviously those two solutions are not very attractive to the capitalist market players, so there is an incentive to form structure with the goal of sustaining society. Though history shows capitalist markets are not good (enough) at forming that structure (thus their heads roll).

Value, or market forces, supply and demand are inherent in any system where the numbers of people of more than a few are involved.

The poor don't get priced out and die as you write. A potential market attracts problem solvers, yes, to make a profit (not a dirty word always), and new solutions are found to new problems - that is technology. Sometimes it creates new problems, hopefully less of a problem, and the cycle continues. Look at Cuba for what happens when you are cut off from trade, don't allow individuals to decide what they want to be when they grow up, and don't utilize technology and your natural resources efficiently.

I don't think any system, Capitalism, Socialism, what have you, allow you to meet and greet 7 billion people and get to know them to determine what is best for each individual, so yes, I'll go with market forces, supply and demand unless you have the ability to create something from nothing. These things emerge for the most part, and are not fully intentional constructs.

I'm willing to cut him slack for adding his own politics in to the article. With the election approaching, it's like the Ponn Farr here in the states. If anything, it was a bit reserved.

His over-arching points are important and need attention. 1) We are basically in an ongoing cyber-war with other major international powers, and 2) we've been busy buying electronic voting systems that are terribly insecure.

It's a message that needs to be transmitted, and he's one of the best folks to transmit it.

I don't think there's any demonizing going on. This is the state of affairs. We must be aware of it and act accordingly.
I think we need, first and foremost, a good mechanism which allows people to comment on papers, ask questions, and (for authors) add errata.

Right now, there are websites which allow people to discuss papers, but the problem is that a paper has no "home", so the discussion takes place on different sites, and therefore gets watered down. I guess we need to agree on a standard.
As an average Joe, I feel exactly the opposite. Spreads don't affect me much because the commission on a purchase or sale is so high and I trade infrequently. High volatility is what would make me more dyspeptic.

I think you would be quite silly to just outright accept intelligence agency declarations of "it was Russia". As history shows, not only are these people frequently ignorant to technical realities, but political reasons at every single layer of these organizations obscure and pervade the truth.
Yeah. This is another moral question along the Snowden/Manning lines.

Here's the thing: breaking into somebody's house is illegal. If you do it, you're a criminal and should face some kind of legal proceeding.

If you break into their house and leave some personal items along the curb, like nude photographs? I'm probably going to gawk at them as I drive by. I don't like the fact that I do it, but I am human. You are still a criminal, and as long as I don't start sharing your personal items, I'm not. I'm just a schmuck.

If, however, you leave evidence of moral or criminal wrongdoing out on the curb for everybody to see? Then the community has an obligation to take action both against the robber and the person who's house was broken into. Simply because you were robbed doesn't mean that you get out of consequences for your actions once they become public.

I'm tempted to view the ramifications of the leaked emails as a purely internal DNC affair. Having said that, I am reading partisan attacks that say there are illegal activities in there. If so? Well, somebody needs to face some kind of legal proceeding. And somebody else is still a robber.

Whatever our views, it's important to come up with standards that apply no matter who's "side" you're on.
Well, yes. But CPAN does not provide src urls via git (github, sourceforge, ...). You need to upload your tar.gz to a central repo which is then distributed via mirrors.

We have a tiny kitchen in our apartment and very poor grocery store options, which have to be local since we don't own a car. In addition, resteraunts are cheap (< $20 for a decent 3 dish dinner for two) and relatively tasty (and 5 minutes away). Yes, we do cook, but no, we aren't saving time or money when we do it.

I swear everyone here assumes everyone lives in the USA or Europe, their are other countries where eating out a lot makes a lot of economic sense, especially developing ones.
Great idea. But then Elsevier might refuse to work with people who have such contracts.
His point is that there are actors trying to influence the process by compromising technology, details of the DNC incident aside. In and of itself that is a very concerning threat to have and in general we have to take that into consideration when evaluating the role of technology in the election cycle, even if this time the hack seemingly had net positive benefit to the citizens. Next time we may not be so lucky.

As he pointed out, Schneier has been beating this drum for years. Computer security is not a high enough priority in politics, and with what we know is possible and see happening we can't assume elections will be free of tampering by default.

Ok, what is it that we're not supposed to tolerate from Russia? They spied on our documents and released them for public review. Schneier himself would be the first to tell you that they're not going to stop spying on us and we shouldn't expect them to. The phrase "attack against our democracy" can only refer to making accurate public representations to our electorate. That's not an attack against democracy.
As someone who in the past tried very unsuccessfully to get a distributed social network off the ground, I'm frustrated by the utter lack of interest in the silo dilemma. Even when a high profile case of someone getting screwed makes it onto the news (and it recently did!), nobody seems to have a problem with the basics of our way of doing things.

It's stunning to me that we live in a world where the technological infrastructure for a federated web is better than it has ever been, yet at the same time interest is at an all-time low. But I still believe it doesn't take much to start a swing in the other direction. If tomorrow a couple of HN users got together and formed a loosely-affiliated working group for decentralization, there is a decent chance the current momentum could be meaningfully changed.
My 60k CHF post doc was more than enough to live in Lausanne, which is way more expensive than SF or Seattle. I was also able to save about half since eating out was too expensive to consider.

Thanks for mentioning QB64. While I haven't tried it out (yet), having an integrated IDE and DOS emulation does sound pretty cool for nostalgia!

Personally, many many years ago when I was fed up with QB's limitations, first versions of FreeBasic[1] were published and I made the switch. I haven't been following its development closely for some years now, but it seems the language has come a long way since then, e.g. supporting OO. It still can be told to behave QB-compatible, though. Maybe this is interesting for anyone looking for an open, more modern implementation of Basic.

i used to store hot water in thermos that the inside glass got stain from hard water (apartment water was hard, contains a lot of mineral)

after i got a son, we replaced hard water with ro water, including the thermos. well, baby is important, right?

over time (months), the stains are gone, the glass inside the thermos got cleaner.

so yeah, ro water being soft water probably cancels out the stains from hard water previously used.

on waste water for aquarium:
it's because you misrepresent 'waste water'.
water in an ro unit gets filtered four times (must go thru 4 different filters). the first is sediment, and the last is the ro membrane. can't remember the middles.

the sediment filter gets brown over time and need to be replaced (cheap, ~$1 per cylinder). so there's some impurities captured.

after last filter, the membrane, the water that fails to pass becomes 'waste water'. it's actually clear, tasteless, just didn't pass the ro membrane.

so ro waste water is actually cleaner than the input water.
my fishes are okay with water from well. naturally, they should be okay too with water that's cleaner than well water.

on heavy metal, fishes are very sensitive to cu, not so much for pb. so if fishes are healthy and not jittery or die after a day, the water should be okay.

i also bought ro unit for my soft-water fishes: neon tetra. accidently, i found that human can drink ro water too ;)
I hate that he used the "Russians are coming" argument, but at the same time, he probably wouldn't have gotten even 1/4 of the attention if he just said "our voting machines aren't secure and anyone in the world, including our own government, could hack them."

He's playing on the Russian fear, which is what the Democratic party is really pushing right now (by the way, isn't this something the Republican party used to do - what's happening here?!). If this leads to a ban on electronic voting machines, then the methods may be excused by the outcome, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen, so this just ends up helping one party over another politically.

He simply wrote that TS isn't on the edge, without getting personal.

I astouned what some people read into a perfectly reasonable critique...

What about PureScript, it's way beyond TypeScript and still compiles and interacts with JavaScript.
Using a linker script was more painful than it should have been. Pre-processed assembly files (.S) didn't work (they should run through C pre processor). Writing toolchain file for cross compiling wasn't easy.

CMake works great for user space apps, and cross compiling works very well for them. But bare metal projects, kernel modules, etc just are not great.
I beg to differ.

Delhi has no planning. Every "rich" area is right next to a slum. Saket has Khirki village, Def Col has Shiv Nagar, Green Park has Gautam Nagar.

My supposedly "rich" area of East of Kailash is right next to Garhi village, which is phenomenally filthy. It's absurd to me that people who live in million dollar houses and drive 50 lakh carsare so comfortable with open garbage dumps right outside their homes
