No, I think you missed its point.

I dare you to demonstrate that the "big data solutions" guarantee logical and semantic correctness the way true RDBMSs do. Without that, garbage in garbage out. But because those "solutions" are so complex that nobody understand them, including those who designed them, their results are BELIEVED to be correct, which is not the same thing as being correct.
Well, there's been clearly a decline:

As another commenter has pointed out, maybe the pointedly run-on style of this prose is meant to reflect the ceaseless self-doubt and second-guessing that goes on in the mind of the "depressed person" such that they can't even feel secure in their ability to finish a single thought without their mind jumping off its rails. I can personally attest to that phenomenon.
I don't think that bulb ever dismissed entirely the idea of learning Rust for fun or for acquiring knowledge, did he?
Indeed - their precious supply of "just hanging out" time will begin to evaporate quickly as they get older. There's plenty of time to be busy (shudder) when they are adults.
I don't understand why this is on the front page. The article has a catchy headline, but none of the points it makes actually substantiate its claim that email is doomed. It is possible to make email secure (eg with PGP), so we don't have to abandon for security. What's more, everybody uses email. Does the author really think that many people will just abandon it? A Slack account could have been hacked just as well as a Gmail account. And if the admins were so professional that they would have configured Slack to "forget" messages, then they might as well have implemented better security for email. What's more, who says that Slack actually deletes messages?

Catchy but lacking in real substance.
I find it hard to believe that people in the cloak and dagger business have twitter accounts.
It took me a good while to read it because it is rather information sparse (lots of puffery and filler content).

It's also setup with more of a story to the situation that shows a biased view of 'how we got here'.

I wonder if that 'storytelling' is something readers expect / prefer in general or if it's a crutch that is commonly used by in depth reporters who should instead be primarily presenting information with a great depth.
Well, I have profiles for them, but with the default profiles – which I have to use, because that’s what the end user will see – the issue occurs.

The "Friends of Rust" page here lists organizations who have voluntarily chosen to advertise their production usage of Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/friends.html

Furthermore, I attend Rust meetups all over the country and invariably meet people using Rust for various tasks at their job, even if their company doesn't choose to deliberately advertise itself as a Rust shop.

We also have a large internal list of contacts at companies using Rust (publicly or otherwise) that we use to schedule periodic conference calls to discuss the needs of production users in order to prioritize language development (e.g. Dropbox and Mozilla really, really want faster compile times, which is why that's been a determined focus for this cycle).

Overall we're quite encouraged by how many folks are willing to use Rust in a production capacity considering how young and unproven the language still is. :)
From what I've seen "unlimited" hosting providers will simply limit you in another dimension, which I think is just fine. For e.g I frequently see bandwidth sold in two tiers: you can have "unlimited" transfer at 100Mbit/s, or metered transfer at 1Gbit/s.

This approach let's the host plan capacity while giving users the illusion of unlimited bandwidth. Meanwhile customers that genuinely need the extra throughput can still get it at a premium.

---

This is essentially what T-Mobile is doing, they're just not being transparent about it. You can have "unlimited" bandwidth at ~3.5Mbit/s (a 480p video stream), or you can pay a premium to saturate your link. They're just choosing to apply the throughput restriction to a specific class of traffic (HD streaming) because (A) it's a large fraction of their total traffic and (B) it's fairly easy to market to customers.

Of course there is no such thing as truly unlimited, but it can certainly be "unlimited" in one dimension. The issue here is that's not how T-Mobile is marketing it, they're marketing their network as "the fastest LTE network"[1] while also saying you have unlimited monthly bandwidth. The latter may be true, but it comes at the expense of throttling the throughput (for some fraction of subscribers); and once you throttle a subscriber you can no longer say you're providing them with access to "the fastest LTE network in America."

In git, you `git rebase` any commit will always do whatever you tell it to do.

In Mercurial, `hg rebase` will abort if you're trying to make it do something to public commits. Public commits are commits that have been shared on a publishing server. The contrast with draft commits, which are commits that have not been shared or only shared on a non-publishing server.

If you really want to edit public commits, you have to manually force them back to the draft phase before you can rebase or rewrite them.
The K1 chip has a blob-free boot (unlike the newer chips AFAIK) except for the USB-based flash programming / recovery mode, so for the initial installation you'd need to manually flash the eMMC somehow if you don't want to run any proprietary code.

And yes, CUDA isn't supported by the open drivers. Other than that, I've heard Nouveau works relatively well. Though I'm not still sure if the open source graphics community has figured out a way to get stacks like Xorg or Wayland/Weston running without hacking the source on architectures where rendering and scanout are done by different DRM devices.

It seems more that the film industry has been disrupted, it's just that small studios have been hurt and large conglomerates were the ones to seize power. Technology changed the economics of the film industry in a disruptive way, and "disruption" shouldn't be a term reserved for small startups taking advantage of those shifts as opposed to large companies.

I agree with your assessment, but the lesson that society seems to have learned is that 'all-male communities are bad', even when those communities are not loci of prestige and power.

For example, I think a lot of the hostility coming out of the Gamergate community is partly an attempt to claim 'gaming' as an all-male space. These aren't country-club millionaires figuring out how to buy the next local election.
That's a really good point. Experts have much different needs than other users, because much of the knowledge is available via a much faster system better integrated with their thinking (their memory).

Are we still trying to trumpet the claim that the entire allegation was part of the big set up to extradite Assange, or smear / assassinate his character?

Because if it was "he had somewhat consensual sleepy-sex" (no offense meant) "and now we want an STD test" is a pretty pathetic character attack for a state - I highly doubt that was the best they could muster.
There NO relationships whatsoever between normalization and the number of attributes, which are determined by the number of properties that entities have in the real world i.e., the conceptual model.
I don't understand 2 day either. In the UK it is 1 day, for some stuff same day. That makes a big difference. But 2 day for me tips it over sufficiently that often if things are not available with Prime shipping I might as well pick it up the next day when out and about.

A close friend of mine did https://devbootcamp.com/ --- and coupled with the instruction and a lot of hard work in the class, was able to switch careers successfully. This was a few years ago when there was less competition amongst boot camp graduates to find jobs, but I'm still seeing devbootcamp graduates successfully change careers.

I think the combination of the kick in the ass, working on projects as a team, and access to recruiters at the end of the program is what makes them successful.
There's a big problem here: Parents are judged poorly no matter how they oversee their children. You watch over your children and make sure they're safe and supported? You're a helicopter parent. Took your eyes off your child for five seconds and he jumped into a cage with a gorrilla at the zoo? You're a horrible neglectful mother. Spoke to the principal of your kid's school concerning a bully or about putting some padding over the concrete at the playground? You're creating a "safe space" for your child and raising them to be a sissy. Being a parent is a no-win scenario in the eyes of public perception.

People always talk about "back in my day" when things were tougher and how that made them resilient. Well, back in those days, kids got impaled on steering wheels sitting in their parents laps while they drove, got skull fractures from falling on playground concrete or teeth knocked out from see-saws, or they committed suicide because school administrators saw bullying as a natural means of letting kids establish a pecking-order. Following science-informed safety measures is too often dismissed as coddling our children.

I'm all for letting kids roam and giving them responsibilities. But there's a rational, measured way to provide for such freedom and responsibility. Because if anything bad happens to your child while giving them such freedom, you will face the wrath of social media. I watch time and again as the same people complaining about sissification of our children are also the first to rage against the parents when the news reports on a child coming into any kind of harm. If people would empathize with parents instead of leaping to judgement of them, the world would be a better place.
Actually, almost everyone got rid of unlimited, and had fair, net neutral data tiers. And then T-Mobile's deceptive marketing led everyone to follow suit. I understand that as a 16 year user, you're inclined to defend them, but this whole current trend was T-Mobile's idea. T-Mobile started zero rating certain types of apps, throttling people's video traffic, etc. "Uncarrier" is a whole new field of net neutrality violates T-Mobile pioneered.
> They never are, so this is a worthless question to ask.

I agree that defrauding people is wrong. But why can't counterfeit goods match or even exceed the quality of the so-called originals? We all know there is a huge markup on "original" products that has nothing to do with cost of materials. So they should be capable of at least matching the quality of the original and selling at a discount.

Do you know any programming languages? In addition to non-Java JVM-based languages (like Clojure and JRuby), which should work in theory (and in some cases do work in practice, like with Ruboto), there's also stuff like Cordova (though I don't know if Cordova can do what you're looking to do).

> Choosing to AOT on device instead of doing at the store like everyone else

There's a few major problems with doing it at the store.

1: Google can only AOT for their devices as the AOT depends upon the specific platform version that the app will be installed on (as symbols & offsets change, of course). It's a substantial scalability problem.

2: The compiled version is substantially larger than the dex code. That's a non-trivial cost (in terms of $$$) to put on people in the majority of the world that doesn't have high caps and/or unlimited bandwidth.

3: Apps are signed by the developer, so the store can't recompile the app without breaking the certificate chain. And then the app won't be able to update anymore, and the trust flow back to the original developer is lost.

I'm not retired, by no means - I'm 51. I'll keep on hacking for as long as I feel the urge and find some need. I do concentrate on trying to make our (way of) life less dependent on a steady income stream - in other words, I use time and some money to make us less dependent on future money. A farm with enough land to support a family is a good start, especially one which has both arable land as well as productive forest. Hence my choice, although the fact that I studied forestry at an agricultural university might have something to do with it as well.

You don't seem to understand the context: In the UK internet advertising is already censored, and has been for some years.

In the UK advertisers are forbidden from advertising alcohol to children.

Here's the regulators page for adverts aimed at children: https://www.asa.org.uk/News-resources/Hot-Topics/Children-an...

Here's their page for adverts about alcohol (note that some of those ads were online): https://www.asa.org.uk/News-resources/Hot-Topics/Alcohol.asp...

There's currently a gap in regulation. App makers have apps targeted at children (and with an age range of eg 4+); those apps carry ads; those ad networks use information about the phone owner to decide the age suitability of ad.

This loophole is likely to close in 2017 or 2018

That artificial throttle is not so artificial; they are charging you a lower amount because you are using less resources. The "last mile" is almost always bandwidth constrained, if you use less, then you pay less.

I've heard of a few Men's Circles around LA; there seem to be more Women's Circles, but it's still a thing.

And the idea is just what you're talking about, and really, it's just an application of the support group idea: A group of people with a shared experience get together to talk about it.

There is an experience of "being a man", and there's an experience of "being a woman". Things really only get tricky when you have people with both experiences.
> I find the focus on boys less than ideal...To me, he should be focusing on all kids not a particular gender.

He has sons, not daughters, so he's focussing on what's best for his sons. I wouldn't be surprised if his approach might change if he ever has a daughter, but he doesn't have any obligation to worry about what's best for other people's kids.

Ask HN: Where can I find a front end developer?
I mainly work with the backend, but years ago when I first started I used to take care of the frontend too due to my small budget (designing logos, user interfaces in jQuery and just designing websites in general).

Now I've started working on a new side project and I'm just overwhelmed by the amount of work that I've put into the design so I'm looking for a frontend developer that I can regularly work with.

I've tried hiring designers many times in the past, but I've never been satisfied with the results. When someone is a part of the project and really puts their heart and soul into it then the result really improves so I thought I'd try something different for this project.

So to the question; does anyone have any good advice on where can I find a frontend developer that wants to partner up and work together?
I actually agree with you about immutable infrastructure, as I work at implementing it.

But that's dangerously close to the "One True Way". Which is certainly not the case - so much of this is evolving, and a wide variety of situations and circumstances.
In principle, MGTOW makes a lot of sense--straight men should not require the sexual affections of the opposite sex in order to live happy, healthy lives.

In practice, for a bunch of men with the philosophy "a man needs a woman like a fish needs a bicycle," they sure do spend a lot of time talking about how crappy the bicycles are for the fish.

You have to be careful with those sorts of numbers.

It says that monitored hospital visits (not injuries) have gone down, but those hospital visits have got a lot more expensive for most people too - one possible confounding factor.
I wouldn't judge designers this way. I think they are users too, but they have a certain aesthetics, that can be even more subjective than, say, software architecture. And in OSS you cannot really do usability studies, it's expensive (although commercial companies don't do them much today either, I think).

I think the problem really is lack of humility of some designers, which was trend-set by Steve Jobs. SJ didn't do what users wanted, he had a very strong sense of his own aesthetics (lack of buttons, for instance). This IMHO works if you can create fashion trend around it, but otherwise, it leaves a lot of people (maybe even majority) in the cold.
I've never been a big fiction reader, and I don't know how much time you spent trying his fiction, but I highly recommend giving Infinite Jest a shot.

I had to take a 3 month break in the middle of Infinite Jest (not recommended) and even then, finishing it was the most rewarding and somehow obscenely frustrating literary experiences I've ever had.

This accomplishment/frustration thing is also central to the book and is "the point" (really one of several). The fact that it still has that effect even when I know it was meant to is a testament to how well it worked.

I can't say much about that without seeing some examples. Of course it may not calculate&offer an ideal strategy or even outright choke if the system is put into a manually induced dependency hell, but that's a different scenario than resuming an interrupted process which was otherwise progressing OK.
> As far as I know, there's no simple way to pass an object from the service to the UI.

They are in the same process, you can communicate between them through all the normal Java mechanisms. For example, your UI can just register & unregister a callback on the service directly in its start/stop methods (or in onVisibilityChanged if you'd rather do this in a View instead)

I think there is real difference between saying the reality is different, and the perception is different, though I agree the outcome is the same. If teh reality is different, then teh outcome may be justified.

Everyone says this setup where the VC4 boots the ARM is weird, but isn't that pretty similar to how Intel ME boots the x86, right down to the proprietary firmware and everything?

It doesn't seem like an unusual setup to me at all: the only unusual thing, I guess, is that the VC4 is capable of a lot more than the small ARC/ARM core inside Intel ME.
