Umm don't know which world you're living in but Google Now/Search, Photos, Maps/Waze, Youtube, Gmail, Calendar, Hangouts, Drive.. etc. Pretty much every smartphone in the world is running one or more of those services on a daily basis.

I never said they weren't running one or more of those services. Of course they are. I said that aside from Search and Youtube they weren't critical.

But I also wasn't aware we're calling basic web search, email and other web applications that have been around for a decade or more "cloud services". When did that happen? I guess by that definition (everything is a cloud service!) then you're certainly right - cloud services are indeed very popular.

I'm particularly fond of IMAP "Cloud Email" or as it used to be called "email". That's a good one. There's also "Cloud Messaging" (I've been calling it "texting" but I guess I'm pretty old school).

>Care to name one Apple cloud service that's so indispensable to that many users? Or perhaps, even just to iOS users?

I'm not sure why you're trying to make this an Apple vs Google thing. That's not at all what I intended. But re-reading your original comment I see thats exactly the kind of thing you were trying to stir up. I'm not interested in that type of discussion. Not even a little bit. Goodbye.
Even as someone who uses bluetooth headphones 100% of the time, I'm still pretty unhappy with this as they don't even support the industry standard for high quality bluetooth audio: apt-x (or if they did, I must've missed it somehow).
the thing is that you get six hours of low energy time. School is pretty exhausting. Also account for things like homework, hygiene, eating. How many hours are you left with? Your argument should be justifying the 7 hours, not saying you have 6 hours left.

While Visual Studio is a testament to understanding your users, it's not great software. Randomly slow downs (even with Visual Assist turned off) and hanging every time you open a moderate (~50 project) solution.
The one thing I systematically do in term of email validation is catch the common typos of the main providers. So things like gmail.con, hotmai.com, gmall.com and so on.

In 99% of those cases, it prevents someone from entering a wrong email.

We do not do email activation by forcing people to click a link in their email to validate that they received it since that causes a drop in the funnel and reduces the amount of revenues (non technical users tend to not come back when you ask them to go to their emails to verify it). So, in this case, correcting the typical typoes is very important. In our case though the information is not extremely private so it's less of a problem to do this.

Having people type the email twice doesn't really prevent typoes, people copy and paste. And if you disable paste, then it becomes annoying to users and you don't want to annoy users during the signup process (plus I hate websites that mess up with paste so I won't be hypocritical and do it).

Lastly, I know that having an email with a local domain name with no TLD is valid but it'll never be valid in the context we are sending so supporting them just doesn't make sense.
"In my world, developers barely understand the programming language or framework they're using and are more interested in using buzzword foo rather than solving the problem at hand or dealing with actually running the systems that solve said problems."

Oh, man. A thousand times this. Many devs I work with have been writing code that runs on AWS for years, and don't know what RDS means.
Unfortunately, this is often the rhetorical approach commonly employed in unpopular, ahem, professional science as well. No one wants incremental progress, everything has to be transformative (science's disruptive).

In my line of work I see an organisation regularly burning $50m in IT budget for developping a software that is completely flawed, horribly designed, not fit for purpose, though take years to develop and for that amount of efforts and money, could be much more efficiently done in Excel for 1/10000th of the cost!

This week I am trying to extract data from a data cube that was created for reporting. Problem, the cube was designed so that only one node can be retrieved at a time, and so if I need a bulk retrieval, which I need, it needs to be queried a billion times, sinking the server, timing out the queries, taking hours. The IT team is trying to figure out a way to run an overnight job so that it sinks the server during quiet hours. Basically these guys designed a vault where you can only add data but never retrieve it. They should be fired.

[edit] and before someone starts to think "yeah but this is big data", the underlying populated numbers in this cube would fit in a 5MB spreadsheet.

I am not sure that the audience of hacker news realises how terrible is the reputation of IT and developers in large companies from the business side. They are seen as a world of hyper-bureaucratic, common sense-free, business sense-hostile, half-assed lemmings.

Excel is not great but one has to have a hard look at the alternative.

Based on your portfolio, I would suggest seeking some design training if you seek to freelance - as a front-end developer you should be owning the latest design standards such as proper content spacing, font combos that compliment, simple colour palettes, interaction animations & loaders, etc etc etc - none of which I see in your portfolio. You really need to impress and to also learn to sell yourself as a freelancer (you know, fake it til you make it, all that).

Yes, after the initial simple version, when I thought of expanding it, I looked into js-cookie and Cookies [1], but they all seem to require a `.set()` and `.get()` methods which I find too verbose for something so simple. A couple more of differences:

- I just added a CDN to cookies.js

- The default is a 100-day cookie, as cookies for me imply long-lived cookies, not sessions.

- The default is that if you visit `https`, it will require secure connection.

- [configurable] to remove a cookie you can just null-ify it.

Wireless headphones that just work are seriously really nice. Once you use them, you wonder why all headphones aren't wireless.

Removing the headphone jack forces people to solve the wireless headphone problems: pairing, latency, and charging.

Per RFC 6265, which is the cookie spec you seem to use, the valid chars for cookie names is defined [1] by RFC 2616 (since obsoleted by the 723x series; but agreeing on this issue [2]).

The cookie name must be a 'token', which is incidentally the exact same rule as for HTTP header names. 'token' evaluates to one or more of the following ASCII visible characters:

"!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*"
/ "+" / "-" / "." / "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / "~"
/ DIGIT (0-9) / ALPHA (A-Z, a-z)

Right now you allow any valid JSON object key to be set as a cookie name.

EDIT: To be more precise, your defaults are fine as they URLencode the key too, along with the value. But the defaults are overridable and affect both the cookie key and value simultaneously. Allowing the value encoding to be overridden would be useful, while allowing the name encoding to be overridden can cause the cookie to fall out of spec.

In 1995 0.20 theatre tickets were sold per person in the world.

In 2016 slightly less than 0.13 tickets were sold per person.

This highlights 3 things.

- In the grand scheme of things most people in the world don't go to movie theaters and never have.

- Less do than ever before both in absolute terms and proportionally.

It seems unlikely that steadily raising the cost of tickets and food is going to be a sustainable way to avoid falling revenue in the future.

The smart money ought to be giving people the movie experience they want at home and giving people a higher quality experience out with a higher price tag.

The former will obliterate a lot of theaters and the latter is a smaller scale demand than the existing industry.

The right way to think about HP is as a conglomerate : a company of companies.

Looks like they are trying to create separate focussed companies out of it. This enables different companies to succeed or fail on their own merit. For example, the software company does not have to eat up the losses from the hardware company and vice-versa. This also enables the companies to partner with outsiders. For example, if HPE servers are terrible, the software company can now buy better servers from Dell or Lenovo. This would be hard to do before, as questions would be raised if a product company was unwilling to use it's own products. It can also integrate with products from other companies eliminating the so-called 'strategy tax'.

Disclaimer : I used to work at HP/HPE, but this is pure speculation.

In Japan you're not mentally ill, you're a recluse.

In Russia you're not homosexual, you're a paedophile.

Doesn't this simply illustrate the awful way in which human beings are treated -- by countries slightly more backward than those that, at least, acknowledge the existence of mental illness, or sexuality?

I have studied various articles on this issue. Your claim that light and heat are EM waves as well, doesn't mean that they're dangerous, cause we've been under their effect for millions of years and nothing happened (or we got used to it). But artificial sources of radiation are much more powerful and unfortunately, they mostly use directional antenna, as opposed to omnidirectional sunlight.

Yes, Apple has included those wired headphones, too. But don't forget that the focus henceforth is on "wireless" headphones, about which I wrote my concerns.

I work as a scientific programmer and I used to have that reflex; even deriding others who couldn't or wouldn't automate such things for wasting time. To me, 'data' was just a blob, to be looked at as little as possible.

I've done a 180 on that. The other day I started work on making a plant database, by hand; from designing the schema (columns and sheets in Excel really - blasphemy!) to typing in the values from encyclopedias, wikipedia and books by hand (ok, the latin names I copy/paste). Yes I could just use one of the several large, well-known databases; or one of the hundreds of specific-purpose ones. But making this database has taught me so much already, things I never would have learnt if I'd spend that time on writing import scripts.

Nowadays I let my students/analysts first do extensive eda, which is usually lots of tedious work that seems a waste of time to the programmer instinct. But it's not.
So it uses less memory than x265, but is it faster? Does it produce better output?
The point is that it is much more intuitively understandable what happens when you fill whole columns with that formula.

In R1C1 notation it's obvious because the formula doesn't change. In normal notation the exact same thing happens under the hood, but the cell references you're seeing change.

My theory is either a ruthless competitor has been trying to destroy linode for years, this is a distraction to cover a different attack on them, or at some point in the past someone attacked and blackmailed them and Linode paid to make it stop.
