While i prefer stock Android, the Note arguably benefits a lot from a different software because it's tailored to the Stylus and round edges. Other than that they already toned it down a lot to where it was a few years ago, so i don't think the impact is that huge. I really love the Note 7 for the possibilities that the stylus brings, so the Samsung software is something i'd have to live with.
True, and I think they are probably wrong.
Not sure if I agree with the screen being hard to repair/replace.
I decided to do it a few months back and all it really took was taking all of the parts out, gluing the screen to the frame and putting the parts back in. Had I bought a screen with a frame, all I would've needed to do was transplant the parts from the old frame to the new one. Not difficult at all.
> Is it possible that Go or any other language du jour just seems cleaner because it's newer and so the cruft hasn't had a chance to form yet? Come back in 10 years, and tell me how amazing it is then.

That's the reason why. Most Go codebases 5/10 years down the road will be as obnoxious as any other 10 year old code base written in any other language. It happens with every generation of developer.

I still remember 4 years ago when Nodejs was deemed simpler, cleaner and easier to maintain than Java ... I would hate having to maintain 4 year old Nodejs codebases today.
You are using an idiosyncratic definition of "not dangerous".

There were zero people killed by nuclear weapons last year in the US.

Therefore, by your definition, nuclear weapons are not dangerous.

I think we can all see the problem with this definition.
I understand how people take offense at this. However I am saying that their offense is misplaced and the call for action validates the censorship of womens sexual desires.

I think you understand this, we just sit wanting different things. To my mind you are calling for the censorship of mens sexual desires to match.

In regards to finding a better way for the author to have said it, I imagine simply replacing 'women' with sex would be both more explicit and absent of trigger words.
Please do open an issue, thanks.
You do realise that samsung designs and makes most of Apple stuff, right?
There will be new threads about how the streams and other standard classes dealing with IO need to be rewritten/expanded to work well with async. I've been using async/await for about a year now(in node.js, much longer in C#) and took to wrapping them when needed; you find various levels of difficulty depending on how much eventing is involved. All the information hidden away in non-public properties/api's doesn't help. MS had to go through and expand out all their stuff with Async methods. I wonder how long the node.js maintainers will take..

Async/await, let, and TypeScript have made node.js bearable for me but, TBH, I'd rather be working with Go or C# more. Owell, right tool for the job and all which has a temporal component as well.

> but why hide all of that useful navigation behind an ambiguous, easy to miss, unlabeled icon?

Few reasons:

1. After redesign its possible to use application without sidebar for most of day-to-day tasks. I personally use sidebar 2-3 times per day while using GitLab whole day. Keeping it hidden by default allow me to focus on context and save screen space (really valuable on small laptop)

2. Both sidebar and project navigation visible at same time confused a lot of users. For example user clicked on sidebar "Issues" while they believed it will take them to project issues page.

Go back far enough and we'll find a common ancestor, and they probably came from Africa, and while confirming this is in itself interesting I think that people travelling and cross settling in our history is excepotion ally interesting.
Twitch is Justin.tv. It launched in 2007 (iirc), and pivoted to games in 2012. The company changed its name a few years after that.
If I was to carry on with it, I would look into using byteFrequencyData rather than timeDomainData. My initial attempts with the frequency data weren't great, but a few people have mentioned it so I'd take another look and see if I just wasn't doing something dumb.

I felt like the most fiddly work would be accurately sampling the sound. E.g. not recording when it was under (or maybe over) a particular volume, ignoring the initial thud of a key (particularly with the phone sitting on the piano), and making it so that the correct 'note' stayed blue as the sound trailed off and got less reliable.
Your comment just shows that SOLID is not understood, not overblown.
<devil's advocate> On the other hand, that shitty inadequate language got them up to their first billion or so users and way past Unicorn stage. If you're optimising your language choices and talent pool for your second or third billion users when you currently don't even have enough users to fund the ramen invoices, you're 100% certainly playing around with "the root of all evil"... ;-)
Absolutely, although I do sometimes like to marvel at the state of graphics/physics of the latest games!

Another example where I think lack of graphics actually contributes to making a great game: Avernum (RPG). Way back when I spent hours of my life playing Exile 1-3, of which the Avernum series is part remake (1-3) and part completely new (4-6). I recently bought the last three installments and I've been having a lot of fun playing it.

The thing is, even until this day few games I've played came even close to the experience Exile/Avernum provides, both in the tactical RPG sense and world-building and storytelling, even though the graphics are quite atrocious. Most Triple-A RPG's I've played were nice in many other ways, but fell short in the crucial elements that I care most about.
We want to prevent a not invented here mindset. And we'll work on import export functionality. By the way, GitLab already uses GitLab Workhorse written in Go to do much of the heavy lifting. I would say it is more then a proxy. This project is unrelated to Gogs.
For whom? YC or the people applying to YC?
Yes, it's quite different in different countries.

My web server gets only 3,9% IPv6 traffic (based on counting unique IPs). Quite OK given that none of the major ISPs in my country offer IPv6 (neither on broadband or on mobile). Even for businesses it can be hard to get native IPv6 here.
> Those tiny seat-back screens cost airlines a fortune because of installation and the weight they add, and they make you feel trapped on the plane. Skylights has developed its own VR headsets and software so passenger can strap in and watch 2D and 3D movies on a giant virtual screen

How is a headset less heavy than a screen on a seat? On top of that, good luck for the hostess when trying to serve you a drink or dinner and you are fully absorbed somewhere else.
They should expose the NN coefficients to the end user so that one can at least start from a known-better value. This problem would seem analogous to JIT warmup.

I liked the screen for not being overly saturated like the others! And boy was that phone fast. Every once in a while when I try my Nexus 5 it feels faster than my 6P, for some reason.

> Bringing up user experience when talking about branch predictors is meaningless.

If working on branch predictors does not impact the user experience, then arguably that work is meaningless in the context of building real products -- it may still be interesting for academic purposes.
These kind of comments are really dismissive. Sure, MS PR did fire up the hype train a bit too much, but in the end they only want to show what it will be capable of in the future, as they are not selling the current version to consumers yet.

Pretty sure it will eventually reach that level of the E3 presentation when hardware gets faster/smaller/cheaper, by now it's just a tech demo and they have a lot more to actually show than Magic Leap for example.
If my lottery tickets had anything like the rate of return of YC's, then buying more would be an extremely sound investment strategy.
When I was a recent graduate, I was thrown into becoming the lead developer for a product at a startup after my boss left to become a Java dev.

The workload was enough that we needed to hire another developer, so we lined up a couple of people for interviews. As the most senior technical person on the team (with two whole years experience) it fell to me to try and hire someone. I had barely had any technical interviews, let alone interviewed someone, so I did what anyone who read Jeff Atwood's blog would do. I used FizzBuzz.

Then and now, I still feel it's a poor way to judge someone's programming ability. It judges your ability to know the modulus operator above anything else. However, it did seem to weed out most of the people who came for the job. We had people with eight years experience and significant experience in what we did that couldn't get as far as the for-loop. I asked a couple of super basic questions to judge their knowledge (how do you guys deploy code at your current job? difference between a class and an object? etc), and nearly everyone answered these, but FizzBuzz was solved by only one person, even when they were allowed to use any language they want. We ended up hiring this guy, and he's still there (well, at the company they acquired them shortly after I left). We're still friends, and I consider him to be a rock solid developer whom I would hire again.

I've not used it since, but I've worked with a number of developers in the past few years that have walked into a job with nothing more than a CV of impressive words and a memorised list of answers to the kind of questions you see on the first page of a "developer interview questions" Google search. My favoured approach has been a relaxed conversation in a cafe and a task to build something, done either at home or in the office, but I often wonder whether I'd be better off just going back to FizzBuzz.
Congrats on supporting a valueless abortion.
Thanks so much for the thoughtful and detailed reply. Your penultimate paragraph convinced me. I'm glad you folks are so careful when making changes :)
I rather like JavaScript. ES2015 anyway.
Probably because that is not what matters. With the epipen, I can just jam it into my daughters thigh, straight through thick winter clothing and all. I don't need to ensure she gets the dosage right, nor that the syringe doesn't break.
It's this linkage with the rest of your accounts that can make doing business with them particularly dangerous. After the Google+ real names debacle started, which included people using their real names which Google didn't believe, and shutting down all their Google services, I stopped using every one of their services except for ephemeral zero stickiness ones like search (fortunately I'd discovered Fastmail some time previously, and they're beyond wonderful).

Buying a house built in 1910 and having to remodel and move to it financially prompted me to buy a smart phone, and Project Fi was clearly the best match, so I've now seriously reversed that ... but that also means I now won't even think about increasing my exposure to these sorts of risks by trying to write apps for the Play store, using any of their cloud offerings, etc. My main phone and its number are too valuable, too sticky to risk.
There is trees on the Republic place. Not much, but there is some.

It's a solution for a made-up problem. Sure, async/await makes it easier. But not as good as the normal sync code would be. And for what reason?
The concurrency problems are already a solved issue in many many frameworks. Sure, if you do fully manual threads in something like C++ and code up everything yourself - you're in for the trouble down the road unless you are a good professional. But there are heaps of concurrency frameworks in all major languages that make this very easy.
And what about performance, how does JavaScript justify putting virtually every single return value of every function into some Promise object? Talk about wasted resources.
Forget that B2C startup idea, go straight to B2B. That's where the money is.

> It seems to be insurmountably hard for press to understand that virtual reality and augmented reality are related but distinct concepts.

Microsoft hasn't helped in this case, with all their blabbering on about "holograms" when as far as I can tell, the images it produces are not holograms in any conventional sense of the word (although the diffraction-based wave guiding is pretty cool.)
Building in an interrupt "Hey, pay attention to the real world now" feature would seem important. On the other hand, it'd still be awkward when you had to climb over someone to go to the toilet or something.

I'd be interested to try inflight VR. It could be really good, or it could just be a one-way ticket to airsickness.

What I'd really love would be a feature that lets me see the scenery currently around me, as if I were flying in the air without the plane. You could just use Google Maps data at first, but if someday they installed a few cameras on the exterior...

> it begs the question as to where the population went to

I'm guessing they married out.

I cannot find a reference, but I seem to remember learning that eighteenth century Covent Garden in London had a significant black population, possibly former slaves freed by and then recruited into the British Army during the Revolutionary War. Within a century, that population had gone, at least as a distinct, visible group: the original population were all male and had taken local wives.
A parisian enthousiast for every non-car policy !!!
While ultimately all people are of African origin it is still interesting to see whether there were later migration waves out of Africa. (Or even back into Africa for that matter)
They were expecting someone with an illegal jammer, maybe. I'm not sure where you get "car thief" out of that. 911 calls are the reason jammers are illegal, and it was also causing major inconvenience to some drivers with electronic key fobs--either one should be a sufficient nuisance for law enforcement to step in.
Agreed - I'm certainly somebody who finds the history of the many waves of immigration to and emigration from the British Isles absolutely fascinating, particularly where these might overlap with the various origin myths for where peoples believed they originally came from.

[e.g. I've always wondered why I have epicanthic folds (which are fairly common in the part of Scotland I come from) even though my family has been in Scotland for many hundreds of years, although I think I've found a Finnish connection in the 17th century].
ENJOYING CARPENTRY
Yeah. I hate all these great text editors and other cross-platform software that Node brought about.
> I am 100% convinced that if Magnus could be properly motivated (think big $$$ and somehow convincing him that scoring a decent proportion of draws as White would be a "win") he could deliver for humanity :-)

You are 100% wrong. Computers overtook humans at chess in 1995. Unless there is some insight Magnus Carlsen or any other GM has which they are not sharing, it will remain that way.
Google, why can't you have support like DigitalOcean and Linode?

Because it's totally not in their DNA?

Because GCE and company are relatively low priority offerings? Would you agree these are higher:

Ad Words etc., which make the bulk of their money.

Search etc. which among other things has you seeing those ads.

Android and all their other efforts to keep themselves from losing their access to the users of the above.

For a while, Google+ was an anomalous offering they were pushing very hard (with this sort of brain damage with linked accounts that hit hard with their real names policy), but they might try such a stunt again.

Compared to the two service providers your mentioned, which only do one thing. Even AWS is I gather rather like that, there's it + all the Amazon selling stuff which is significantly separate. Some of the DNA is shared, but that's not all bad, such as the focus on customers.
I think the parent point is still valid. Look at Pokemon Go. Average user wouldn't care about AR performance, all that high gps accuracy or gfx performance in unity. Suddenly, there are millions of players who are choosing their hardware based on that. If you are planning for today's usage you you may be lagging.
It's interesting that they doesn't noticed that beginners often mix elements have to be double-cliked and which single-clicked.
The article is not very relevant in 2016. Much of the arguments are not valid anymore.
I'd guess they do the rendering on the DSPs, they're not GPUs but they'd be a lot better at that than an Atom CPU...

> iPhone 6 and high end Android smartphones already have augment reality apps with SLAM technology that is far more impressive

This is the most wrong comment I've seen on HN in a long time. The SLAM in Hololens is incredibly impressive and nothing on any smartphone is one hundredth as good, with the possible exception of the still unreleased Project Tango phone.
On the back-end, microservices. Starting with AWS Lambda. Google Cloud Functions. The space is going to move very quickly in the next couple of years. I'm super biased - as the founder of stdlib [1] I have a vested interest in making sure the space thrives - but basically, managing infrastructure is going to tend towards non-existence for the majority of general applications. As software developers, the way we write backend code and build apps will change significantly.

So did Gross really effectively say "OK so there's no evidence for this theory, but I'm going to continue believing it anyway because I'm too old to start looking for a new one?"

I empathise, but also consider it grossly* unscientific. Shouldn't there be some kind of penalty for this obviously "wrong" stance?

*yes I know. I couldn't resist.
Slower, sure? That's a given.

But being able to simply set my phone on my desk and keep it fully charged is a convenience I won't soon give up. I now buy phones with that in mind.

In theory, plugging in a cable isn't time consuming, but in practice, I only actually keep my phone charged during the day if I have a wireless charger nearby.

YMMV.

Can you clarify what you mean when you say, " thread that produces from the shaft body. " - I read that phrase over a few times, still not clear what you are saying.
I remember quite recently what we've been taught at middle school: Fruits are the product of a flower, period. Vegetables are plants cultivated for consumption.

So yes, tomatoes are fruits but because they are cultivated they are also vegetables. Some distinctions need to be applied as well (are apples only fruits or vegetables as well?)
