Cell phone service is a conversation where anecdata matters. The carrier you have must work in the places you visit. Unfortunately for you, that only seems to be the most customer unfriendly one, Verzion.

Where I live TMO data speeds are much faster than both ATT and Verizon (we have tested in the office with people on different carriers). TMO service is also better than Verizon where I live, and if you travel overseas at all nothing beats TMO.

The best part of this is that all of the big carriers are improving their networks like never before. Hopefully sooner rather than later, network coverage will not be a competing point.

> won't bacteria lose their resistance after a while?

DNA is good at accumulating, and relatively poor at editing out. Some bacteria will lose resistance, just like your ancestors lost the ability to make Vitamin C. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3145266/ but you only need one single bacteria to have not lost the ability.

> What if we cycle certain antibiotics on an annual basis?

it helps. We can also stack them, and use multiple attacks at the same time. which also helps. But it just delays the inevitable.

> When we reintroduce them, they'll be more powerful. Right?

the bacteria, yes. because they'll have accumulated defense mechanisms.

Ultimately, I think we win this race, because we can intelligently and actively edit DNA.

This largely depends on your target audience. Flexbox is only problematic for IE <= 9, which, according to caniuse.com accounts for less than 1% of all browsers.

But this should always be checked against more relevant stats (your country, old website you're redesigning, etc.), so yeah, if you know you have a lot of people on IE9 and lower, flexbox is out of the question.

So what are those "certain ways" that show ST3's "crazy architecture"?

And is it crazy overall, or just when it comes to handling brackets from a plugin, in which case, it might just be a corner case that was not originally catered for?
Dogma, Dogma, Dogma.

Have you seen the size of the reference implementations for chacha20, blake2b, or poly1305? Those are tiny,
a couple hundred lines for all three! There is very little room for errors to sneak in. Between test vectors, compiler warnings, and Valgrind, we can be pretty sure all bugs have been shaked out. Add in good old code review and the safety of this stuff is pretty much guaranteed.

Of course, I would never make the mistake of rolling my own OpenSSL clone (too big, bad API, some bad primitives), or even my own AES implementation (slow or prone to timing attacks).

Of course, I don't make the mistake of going blind. I read the literature before making any choice. If I don't know why some construction is considered safe, I don't use it. Due diligence first. And I certainly don't implement the first primitive that my search engine gets its hands on. I go for the most vetted alternatives.

yes, my above comment wasn't phrased that well. but do distinguish between a plugin system where you load so's or DLLs to extend an app, and an application that has dynamic linking against them, where the linker handles this.

So basically something like apache modules - either you can load the module or not - vs something like "cannot find symbol foo in foo.so.0.1."
I think perhaps you are missing the wider point I am making :-)

Some thoughts:

- Good CSS design needs zero !important statements. Fix your specificity or your component architecture if you have a need to use !important.

- DRY is a good thing, not a bad thing. Maybe straight CSS isn't quite there yet but...

- Why not use the tools at your disposal to aid in development (and DRY) such as SASS/LESS?

- Flexbox will be great once IE dies the well-earned death it deserves.

I'm very happy the author had great success with their setup. What works, works. But I hesitate to assume that just because it works without using DRY principles or other tooling, it means you shouldn't.

Hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.
Flexbox is supported in all versions of IE that Microsoft themselves still support (IE 11 and up). You can still support it in IE10 too, albeit with a different syntax.

That means even windows installations that haven't been updated since 2012 will support flexbox.

Greed in the medical industry doesn't "kill people." There is a difference between not saving someone's life and taking it. That moral distinction undergirds our whole economy.

Corruption is bad, no doubt. But the double standard applied to medical companies makes no sense. If not saving lives is the same as taking ones, then many of the things developed by Silicon Valley are morally abhorrent. How many lives could be saved if the billions of dollars flowing into Facebook, Twitter, Tindr, YouTube, Netflix, etc. were used to buy or develop medicine? I could save the life of a kid in Africa suffering from malaria, but instead I chose to purchase a new Apple Watch. If people actually applied your moral principle in a non-hypocritical way, we'd have almost nothing to talk about on HN.

> Please give an example of a finance guy adding value to the system

Finance guys lend money to relatively impoverished inventors to bring their inventions to fruition.

Finance guys make deals with corporations to remove financial risks e.g. foreign exchange, interest rate, corporate default, that the corporation doesn't have the expertise to be exposed to.

Finance guys insure me against certain catastrophic events that would bankrupt my family should they occur uninsured.

I've also heard that finance guys keep the white, fluffy cat and secret volcano residence franchises afloat but that may be apocryphal.
At the end of this scam, you still end up with your money back.

Unless the scammer is investing the money or holding it in an account with decent returns, while also doing this on a huge scale-- this doesn't seem ALL THAT worthwhile.

Why not both? Global flexbox support is >96% and in the US it's >97%.

Unless you're aiming for a 1:1 pixel-perfect experience in crappy old versions of IE, it's negligibly simple to detect IE (or lack of flexbox support), and just use something else. You can usually get pretty close to a lot of flexbox layouts with display: table and related properties, and also falling back to floats for others.

In a worst case scenario, you can provide old IE with a more mobile-like experience and just let things stack up.
There is a suit component for making flexible layouts in legacy browsers https://github.com/suitcss/components-arrange

It is not as feature-rich as flexbox is but it works great - I built a similar one when I used to work at Yelp https://www.yelp.com/styleguide#section-arrange and it scales well.
>I think there's opportunity in packaging this as a system installed & independently updated dynamically linked library much like WebView is updated on Android KitKat onwards.

The people who are browsing HN probably already have the solution to this problem installed on their computers: a web browser!

I don't really care about standardization of the "native" UI space. What I prefer is lightweight applications otherwise why not simply run it in a web browser? Electron loses the two primary advantages of the web and that is no need to install anything and being cross platform.

For Discord, there is no linux version and on windows I like the web version more.

> What we really need are OSes that take the ideas from human-computer interaction from Xerox PARC and Viewpoints Research Institute and take them further into mainstream, using safe languages in the process.

How are modern OSes prevented from using said ideas (which ideas exactly?) simply because they are a UNIX implementation?
Unfortunately that still leaves out a ton of users. I know that's a tiny percentage, but tiny nonetheless. The shop i'm heading to soon has a small number of clients (<5k, each being very important), but with many using ancient systems. IE8/9 iirc. We use Table layouts for our "old compatible" product, and i don't think we'll ever move on from that. Some clients just refuse to update it seems.

Luckily (for my sanity) we have a "new age" product that we can use responsive layouts for.
Looking back a few years at the dev log, it looks like it was one big update per year, then for 2016 we've seen an update every 2-3 months. So who knows anymore? I'm inclined to think these semi-rapid updates are to bring 3.0 out of beta, so I'm not so sure we should expect the same "speed" for too long.
IMHO, naming conventions such as SUIT, BEM, OOCSS and the like are NOT a good practice, but merely a workaround for dealing with the limitations of a global namespace.

My preferred solution are CSS Modules[1], Vue's scoped styling[2] or something similar.

If I was going to save your life, and someone physically stopped me. Then that person killed you. Which is a huge distinction from the SV example.

Otherwise locking someone in a room and not feeding them would not count as murder.
I think Electron has proven to be a very powerful model for GUI customization IMO. Some of the plugins people are building are truly amazing and I can't see this happening in a non-web ecosystem.

We use the tape's reference frame, of course! Looking at data stored on some particular device in the physical system is going to force a particular reference frame, where you will have a defined simultaneity. A global definition of simultaneity is only really needed if your system promises to provide sequential consistency.
Great idea. Another factor an engineer told me about high voltage power lines is that they could send way more power through them but the limiting factor is heat. The lines start sagging.

But on the ocean floor the cold water could keep the lines cool.
>Greed in the medical industry doesn't "kill people."

Well, if you read the comment you're replying to you'll see that, in fact, it does.
I agree with this comment from Reddit four days ago:

> The inability to unload a plugin defeats the use I would have for this, unfortunately. A long running service with plugins may want to load new, updated versions of an existing plugin. Not being able to unload the old version, ends up creating stale references which will keep piling up for the lifetime of the process. As I understand it, this is essentially a memory leak. [...]

> Change what your main branch is?

1. That makes no sense, the "main branch" has a semantic for the project whether it's the current development HEAD or the current STABLE or whatever other concept you appli to it.

2. That doesn't fix the issue, which is that different branches can have different licenses (and with respect to search do have different contents).

> The old license is still applicable to the old code.

Yes, and if you change the "main branch" you end up with the same fuck up, namely that older releases/branches are now marked with the new license, which is not any more correct than the reverse.

That is, the license is metadata of a specific revision of a project (and technically subtrees can even have different licenses), not of the project as a whole, the project can be relicensed at any time.

God how I miss konqueror from kde3.

Dolphin is... Utter crap.

KDE3 had this crazy thing, Kioslaves. You open a remote host via SSH using konqueror, open a remote file as if it was locally available, and KDE would somehow juggle sync-on-save. It was super awesome when editing files on remote ftp servers (you know, phone and stuff).
One way is to spread out the too-high value across neighbouring pixels, so-called bloom. This helps in creating a sensation of brightness even if of course no pixel actually has a higher value than 1.0.

The easiest way is to make a copy of the image, subtract 1.0 from the copy, blur that a bit and then add it on top of the original. This should of course be done before you go into gamma space, at which point you do clamp to 1.0.
I wish the oil/coal/gas price would go up... That would make solar so much more competitive and discourage people from buying combustion engines.
Probably going to get slammed for saying this, especially in a time where downvoters decide for the most part what is allowed and what isn't, but here goes anyway: even though it affects many things, I simply do not care one iota when people talk about rising temperatures and melting ice caps. Why? Because to me it feels like "just stuff that can happen". And I'm insignificant too, unlike these big corporations and factories that cause most of these problems without caring about anything but how to avoid paying taxes and so on.

I'm not a guy who throws random stuff out on the street. I do use my car sparingly because of emissions and I do donate a lot to animal and environmental protection funds. So like every other healthy person I do care about nature, and it breaks my heart to hear about rain forests being cut or burned down, whales and dolphins being killed, and seals being clubbed to death. I eat to live, not live to eat, and I am protective of my environment.

But whenever I read stories about stuff like rising temperatures, I just could not care less. They're just stories in my mind, with a lot of political, societal and economic interests, that make sure you will never really know the truth at all, and they play on guilt and blame. So I became totally uncaring about rising temperatures and all that stuff as a result.

Of course. there are lots of minor issues and surprising results with flexbox in modern IE and Firefox once you use it in more advanced ways. See https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs for an overview.

Nevertheless I use flexbox almost everywhere. It's a great system to arrange anything from general layout to smaller components. There's absolutely no way that I'll deal with any kind of hacks to get basic things like vertical centering right.

Yes, while the masses are starting to come around to the idea that climate change is real, people still seem to think we can stop it. Even if we stopped all CO2 production immediately, temperatures would still be expected to warm for several decades. We are already in a situation where we have to choose between "bad" and "worse."
You can get to much higher efficiency, but it involves very expensive manufacturing techniques which make the final cost much higher per unit of electricity. IIRC price-competitive silicon panels are now somewhere about 18-23% efficient, CdTe panels somewhat less.

- QtQuick is "the standard library for writing QML applications." [1], providing: Models, Layouts, GraphicalEffects, States, etc. Conveniences and building blocks to build GUIs with QML.

- QML itself is a declarative language totally different from HTML. Bindings are done with JS (by the way, a specific, custom implementation of it), yes, but there's no HTML anywhere.

- Qt also provides the WebEngine module [2], which is an in-house packaging of Chromium. If you use this instead of QML to build your GUI, then yes you're in almost-vanilla "HTML+JS" land. But this is not QtQuick.

Last week I was in an interview with Amazon for a position in their web development team. One of the questions was related to this, they asked me to describe how to create the layout for a web page with two columns, I immediately thought about Flexbox but decided to describe the code using "float: (left|right)" and box-sizing, I felt that the two interviewers didn't like my answer because it is outdated.
