Periodically I keep coming back to HN to pretty much say the same thing. Which is that tabs are used as a replacement for bookmarks. And that's pretty much because of the failing of a good browser bookmark UI. I've tried many tab extensions and haven't been happy with any of them.

You can easily leapfrog Chrome with a better web interface and web page helpers. I see no radically visible innovation with Firefox or Chrome for that matter.

I had an Apple Powerbook, that with age couldn't cope with 'modern' web sites. So I took great pains to make browsing easier. Now I notice the same creep on 'modern' machines. JS may be processed faster, and pages rendered quicker, but many web resources are becoming more bloated and this ruins the browsing experience.

I have gone back to having one browser with no javascript running, just so I can read some pages, as I'm fed up with the inherent slow down. Yeah some 'appy' sites/pages are impressive.

But the bog standard web pages that eat my computer's resources to display a few adverts alongside a passage of text or a picture is pretty dreadful. Being able to easily identify and manage these laggy sites would be a help. There are tools but they aren't that accessible or easy to read or use.

And after running Windows 10 for the first time at the weekend, I can see how the Desktop UI and admin interface is still comparatively stuck in the stone age.

So in short I think there is plenty of room for improvement, across the board.
I am another user with similar habits. I think separating the UI process from contents is still required (since you use so many tabs as well, you must have faced UI blocking problems) - though not so sure about having a separate process for each page.
This doesn't need a dedicated space like a railway, and won't be delayed by traffic like a tramway. Of course those would be easier, but what's the problem with innovating?
I didn't know that. I wasn't even running it on a 6502 system. It was running on a mac, so either PPC or Intel.
Details of whole life insurance minuses
Anyone who has an interest in the purchase of life insurance should read every detail of a whole life insurance. Generally, term life insurances are preferred because they are cheaper. However, whole-life insurances ought to be checked, although a decent term insurance will properly cover the needs of most people. When it comes to a whole life insurance minuses the death benefit remains level throughout the policy’s duration. This insurance also guarantees there won't be any increases in the premiums that are a major feature. The insurer cannot ever cancel the policy. This insurance coverage is in most cases a participating policy, meaning it'll generate dividends for you personally.
A dividend is declared through the whole life insurance minuses each year, offered to those who have an entire life insurance.
The dividend can be cashed out (you’ll receive a check from the company), can be left there for earn interest or buy mortgage free additions, which are distinct premium polices (just like the one as the whole life insurance minuses). Cash Value Growth This insurance includes cash values, which is at your disposal in case you require it at any given time. The policy could be terminated and cash the accumulated cash or you can keep the policy by cashing it as a loan. When you receive interest around the cash value of the insurance policy, no taxes are paid on the interest. Taxes are paid when you cash it out. The loan also works on a tax-free basis. click here http://www.lifeinsurancerates.com
I think Web API was just intended to be a lightweight replacement for RESTful API in WCF. WCF does so much more, the most popular probably being SOAP, but I believe it does much more in the messaging, queue, workflow space as well.
In one of the other HN threads on the issue, there was mention that the switch occurred shortly after a change in leadership position of individuals with enough 'power' to impart technology changes by decree. So there is an aspect that there was some, if not much, political opinion involved as there was any technical analysis involved in the change.

Given the fact that the change which occurred is an "apples to oranges comparison" change (PostgreSQL and an SQL normalized DB table structure to MySQL and a noSQL style single table key-value store) then there is some credence one can put towards the rumor that some (or most) of the change may have come about from a PHB [1] saying "do this, this way".

You're thinking rationally, which isn't a strong suit of these scum that get pissy about ambiguous police-involved shootings, and conclude that ambushing and murdering police officers is a valid response.
MD5 caps your overall complexity at 128 bits (realistically probably 110 bits with modern attacks). Typical english text has about 3 bits/character, completely random ascii is 7 bits/character (though that includes control codes you probably can't put in a password field). So 80 characters of typical English would be ~240 bits (obviously 80 characters of just 'aaa...' would be less), so definitely overkill for MD5; ~36 characters (110/3) is the point where you max out what you can do with MD5, and ~26 characters (80/3) is good enough. You can reduce these numbers a bit by using upper case, symbols etc., but personally I find it easier to remember 26 characters of normal English than 13 characters of random letters and symbols.

The recommendation to floss was not justified by reduced gum bleeding, it was justifies by reduces tooth decay. Indees, its now been removes from official FDA recommendations. Likewise, flossing might very reliably make the backs of your teeth whiter, but this is a negligible benefit and is not curing a disease. The headline is a fair summary, even if it could have been more informative by not trying to be funny.
Did view it... locally. It kind of defeats the point if it's not reliable enough to trust it'll behave the same from a different machine.

No harm done, we're still in beta to catch bugs exactly like those, but our initial enthusiasm with terraform has been waning very quickly. Like I said, I love the design, but it's just not there yet.
Having the capability for doing OS development implies having a whole stack language, which Java never achieved.

Java is failure on the desktop, nowadays besides IDEs and a few FOSS tools there are hardly any applications done in Java on the desktop.

If Google hadn't forked it for Android, it would be yet another server language.

Besides Android, we only get RFPs for JEE projects nowadays.

Also all the features that should bring Java up to speed with the new generation of compiled languages in value types, generics and AOT compilation as standard toolchain feature are planned for Java 10 or later.

"a high percentage of young entrepreneurs there are just opportunists. They are not interested in sitting down and building something useful. Instead, they just want to quickly raise/burn money and go public."

I worked for several SF startups and most are the same. So I don't agree there are way more Theranos' in China. I would say they are probably around the same level in terms of many people claiming they are for something when they are not.

This doesn't just happen in tech though. I have seen it in banking as well when it was booming. When there is a booming industry, it tends to attract a lot of posers that exasperates the hype.
So they are basically rewriting the concept of a web-browser (which already is an application delivery platform)? Personally, I think this is crazy, and it saddens me. Why not cooperate with the browser vendors. Given their position, they should be able to pull some strings here and there.

If it was just about NoSQL vs RDBMS they could have used Postgres as a key-value store instead of mySQL. So yes they absolutely did endorse mySQL over Postgres.

Also, what is the scale of Uber that you think is unsuitable for RDBMS? Uber does a million rides per day but these rides are very predictably local. I don't know enough to make any firm claims here but at first sight this doesn't look like the sort of scale that is unachievable on an RDBMS in principle.

> But Terraform is supposed to be used (and is very very often used) to do ongoing minimal changes to infrastructure, often dozens of times per day.

I've seen BOSH used this way.

You just have to accept that editing a file and checking it into version control is a good thing.

After a while, infrastructure tends to stabilise into a predictable format for the given distributed system under management.

I think Terraform would definitely be easier for a fast-developing system because of its bias towards interactivity. But in the long run most systems cease to be fast-developing.

At Pivotal we're seeing more and more customers going all-in on BOSH. Not just for Cloud Foundry, but for pretty much every stateful service they can lay a hand on. They like that it's based entirely on versionable, auditable files.

> However, we require the state file in order to find the resources we own and then refresh the state of the world so we can do a diff.

BOSH will inspect the world when you ask it to, or you can ask it to do so continuously. As a rule, most operators prefer (like Terraform users) to do it manually.
I'm not sure it's appropriate to give that kind of people unwarranted publicity.
Positions (titles) have salary bands. If you're at the top, you typically need a promotion to get anything beyond a COLA.

They're saying that whatever your offered position is, you are at the bottom of the salary band as a matter of principle.

It's also my main problem with many otherwise great non-fiction books. First, it takes more time. Second, when I don't learn new things my thoughts start to wander, and I get very far from the reading flow state. Third, I have a feeling that either the author think that I am dumb so (s)he needs to repeat things, or it is hastily written (for me, an admirer of the Paul Graham's concise style, reducing text takes much, much more time than just writing it... and it's totally worth it).

the secondary indexes are saved in a different table and (I can only assume) the application layer (or one layer above mySql) is responsible for keeping that table up to date.

If you use only 1 table, then it's by no means "relational", so I don't see why you'll need a database system designed from start to finish to support a relational model.

I wasn't referring to philosophical existentialism. This is the definition of existential I was using, straight from google.com:

Sure, okay, there's no absolute standard for fairness. So there's no point in discussing the article, because by what basis would you even discuss whether or not employers should be allowed to ask applicants for their previous income? By what basis should we determine whether we should have any labor laws? What is the absolute standard by which you determined that there should be a minimum wage, or what that minimum wage should be?

If we ignore the entire framework of the conversation and my original comment, then we're veering off into a place I don't find particularly interesting.
The competition you're referring to is an economical one that's based on the product. For any product which is a software application (whatever UI should it sport, native, web based, remotely hosted, etc.), it's commercial success is tied to its features and UX. For something like Amazon or Google, it's not all that important if it's written in Lisp or BCPL or Prolog or whatnot, that's irrelevant in the competition among products.

Lisp's competition is on a technical level with other programming languages, and it's target audience is programmers. It can only help allowing easier development of technology, more fluid continuity from idea to product, robust and helpful debugging tools.

So writing a search engine in Lisp won't necessarily mean that you'll be one step ahead of Google in search business in terms of end product, you still need to come up with a better idea or better UX if you want to compete them, and other factors like advertising, conversion etc are in the play too. But with Lisp you may need less development resources to produce the product than you'd need with C++ or Java.

A bit of context perhaps:

Qinhuangdao isn't a very large city. About 1-2 million people probably in the urban area, so for China it's quite small. It is China's prime port for coal. It is pretty wealthy.

Northern Chinese cities are high-rise, especially in areas of change or economic development. A block consists several towers, often 20-40 stories high. Entrances are not road-side but elevated 3-5 levels up. The bottom 3-5 levels are used for shopping centers, gyms; leisure and retain. Paring in 1-3 levels of basement carpark. Complexes are build with 6-8 lane roads separating them into blocks or blocks of blocks. It is very grid like, and very high density.

IIRC, the proponent of this elevated bus is in the local Qinhuangdao government. That creates will where there's a way. Given city planning, they're build for something like this. I'd well expect alightment points to be elevated leading directly into the 2nd floor of the nearby complex.

The solution seems to be built for the environment it exists in, which is modern suburbs and development areas of Chinese cities that have developed very very quickly over the past decade. Everyone has a car. Traffic can be unbearable.

I doubt this will be adopted in Shanghai, Beijing, etc, as they developed while with wide roads, not with roads wide enough. This works in the younger developed places.

They mention striving to support many contexts. In the demo, they showcase offline editing of a single CSV entry. If the granularity is the atomic types, then a conflict only occurs when the very same field in the very same row is concurrently edited.

Then, the system can show the conflict and offer a default that keeps the operation with the highest timestamp, or if the timestamps are identical, the one with the highest hash.
