I'd like to expect battery would be at least 3 hours while gaming. Considering that we know it's using a Tegra chip like the Nvidia Shield and the Shield gets ~2 hours, and Nintendo has a track record for battery-optimized gaming (Gameboy).

With the Shield's battery saver setting, it gets about 4 hours, and 7 hours for streaming. Again, I'd like to think Nintendo is doing better than this here.

You can call it highly modular. Or you call it functionless.
IMHO isn't that in any balance.
Or we could just repeal all the various laws advantaging the Republican and Democratic Parties over third-parties, open up local, state, and federal elections to real competition, and then let the surviving parties function as private organizations that nobody is forced to vote for.

I say this on HN all the time.
This is a little off topic but does anyone know of any resources for architecting/designing your own house. Specifically, I think it'd be worthwhile to learn from the layouts of other houses. I'd also love to hear about how people are wiring up their houses (fiber, audio, etc).

The problem may be that you think 10 years is a long time for a house.

The materials with a MTBF of 10 years and those with a MTBF of 50 years may look about the same to the untrained eye, but a subdivision builder can grab a bit more in profit by choosing to use the former.

The homeowner then has to pay elevated maintenance and repair costs after the builder sells their last lot and packs up to go subdivide the next parcel.

The houses don't suddenly collapse, per se, they just start to experience annoying problems. Screws pop out of the drywall. Door frames get skewed. AC units freeze over thanks to coolant leaks. Paint peels off of metal flashing. Mold grows on inferior siding, just on the north side of all the houses in the neighborhood. Garage door frames bend away from brick lintels as the electric openers open and close the doors. Cooling costs for the whole neighborhood are through the roof, literally, because the builder used the bare minimum of blow-in insulation. The flush levers on all the toilets break, because they're made of plastic. Buried drainage pipes in the backyard collapse, leaving a potentially leg-breaking hole in the ground. Weeds grow up through the patios that never had proper barriers under their foundations.

The materials aren't bad. They just don't last. People end up paying the same price for a house that won't last 25 years as they might for one which would last another 100, because you can't see the difference at the point of sale.

Browser extensions in all browsers typically do things to the web page DOM for various reasons. I don't know how the technical details work since I've never written one, but chrome addons can certainly change things about the web page DOM.
Out of curiosity, are you using ¬ to represent "approximately" in place of the ~ (tilde) symbol? The only place I've ever encountered the ¬ symbol is in formal logic, where it represents [not].

Have you visited a menswear blog or forum recently? It's the same sentiment. "How could you buy a dress shirt that's not 100% Egyptian cotton with perfect hand and pattern matching with fabric from a 200-year-old Italian mill and hand-stitched by this guy I know in rural Siam!?"

People don't close their eyes when the buy houses, but neither do they have an eye for architectural nuance.
Yes self driving cars could save lives, if they're working properly. That's literally what we're talking about. If they're working as good a humans, good. If they're working better, they're saving lives. If they turn into oncoming traffic like the Tesla did in the video, they can kill people.

A first-gen iPhone couldn't save people, but a first gen auto-driving car can certainly kill a lot of people if the software isn't working right.
Of course, there are no absolutes. There are good games out there that, with moderation, do no harm. That's what I tell my kids. It's not that I don't want them to play. They need to have fun and some of these games are fun. It's about moderation.

Here's reality, it is well documented that gaming addition is hard for adults to kick. There are stories of people wasting years of their lives on this stuff. Young kids don't have any self moderation skills whatsoever other than physical exhaustion. Addictive games are a perfect match for young one's.

I wish I had taken videos of my kids lying about their "use". The look on their faces was that of addicts. Nothing less, nothing more. You could tell a mile away they were in denial and their little brains just wanted more drugs. Dangerous stuff.
That's certainly part of the blog's issue, but I don't think it's all of it. There's a lot in there about clean rooflines and such which I totally get. But sometimes you get a wacky roof because you shoved in an extra playroom for the kids or whatever and that was more important to you than the aesthetics from the outside.
"Basic CRUD" is basic only in most trivial situations, which by themselves are

program has to survive in such case.
I am still into phase of accepting it. I took help from two therapists and read books by Hermann Hesse and Anthony Starr to establish sense of authenticity and reliance in my life. I would say it is all about finding an original voice every new day. Keeping mind active and sharp while discarding old believes just like old cloths. A person who has multiple voices and an enriched mind can never feel alone.

I like to share this quote which always had made be good about my experiences. I know it extreme but this voice isn't for everyone.

“We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.”

― Hermann Hesse

You are right, it's a perfectly valid hypothesis, but it is an almost useless one, for at least two reasons.

* It is improbable.

Say I hear what appears to be a human being, but whom I cannot identify. It may be Roger Waters, there's nothing supernatural here, there's no reason why it couldn't be him. Yet, there are so many other people around that this hypothesis is totally useless: it very likely isn't Roger Waters, so I'm better off without it.

* It is very hard to prove / disprove

Intelligent, technologically advanced beings could very probably generate a wide variety of signals, so it is hard to prove that a certain signal cannot be generate by them; we also have no idea how the "typical" ET signal looks like, so the hypothesis doesn't really help us in furthering our analysis.

Standard density quotes for cities can be pretty misleading as it often reflects fairly arbitrary divisions. For example while Paris is indeed reasonably dense the oft quoted number is for a fairly small parcel of central Paris.
It will evaluate scripts with the permissions of the element being manipulated. Which in a normal webpage is the same thing as the script doing the manipulating, which means you have XSS, which is bad, yes.

In the context of an extension manipulating a web page, though, the jQuery thing you quote will evaluate the script with the permissions of the web page, not the permissions of the extension. On the other hand, doing eval() with a string from the web page will evaluate things with the permission of the extension.

So there is a pretty subtle (and irrelevant in web pages!) but important distinction between the two kinds of script injection here. In a web page they are more or less equivalent in terms of leading to XSS if you have untrusted input. But in an extension, the jQuery one is OK if your input comes from the web page itself, and the eval() version is not.

>Unfortunately, a lot of younger workers are paid lower than less skilled, but older workers simply because of lack of seniority and/or negotiating skills.

I'd say that younger workers were exploited a bit historically because they were largely unaware of their own market rates and didn't have a viable way to find out. That is changing remarkably fast through sites like Glassdoor and self-reported salary data on various other sites.
The article opens with:

>Frameworks, libraries, package managers, guidelines… even languages and meta-languages themselves are changing so fast that there's little to no chance a common or standard way of building applications emerges.

...and then gives an example using React, JSX, and ES6 modules. This is just my opinion but I think React + JSX will look about as antiquated and irrelevant as jQuery in less time than it took jQuery to lose favor among web developers, rendering the argument for longetivity moot.

At least jQuery solved the practical problem of non-standard JS/DOM implementations, but now browser vendors have finally made basic things work among each other, making it irrelevant in most modern browsers. React solves what? Encapsulation? There's Web Components v1 right around the corner, and dozens of competing frameworks that may take its place as the most hyped framework.
This "vulnerability" is harder to exploit in Chrome because extensions in Chrome (unlike in Firefox) have their own private DOM, and settings page have isolated DOM too. If an extension uses Angular only with its private DOM there is no vulnerability.

The vulnerability can be exploited only if an extension is running Angular on an untrusted page which is less likely in Chrome (but of course one should not underestimate the level of incompetency of a modern frontend developer).

UPD: @bzbarsky noted that Firefox is using the same security model as Chrome so both browser extensions can be vulnerable. To exploit a vulnerability, several conditions should be met: 1) extension should inject Angular into a web page 2) attacker should be able to find a way to get from content script context into extension's background page context.
A misunderstanding, I thought another article said something about FF getting a rebrand as part of this. Phew. The Mozilla icon I'm not attached to.

I try not to unless it is reasonably relevant. In this case, the author is suggesting a way to deal with the fact that we are building apps like we were back in the 90's, but in javascript, and I have an alternative suggestion, which is that we build them like we did in the 00's.

But I appreciate that people who have seen it before are sick of seeing it again.

you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the
city…You can preach compassion, equality, and be the biggest lover in the

the working class. There is nothing positive gained from having them so
close to us. It’s a burden and a liability having them so close to us.
Believe me, if they added the smallest iota of value I’d consider thinking

Not really what you're looking for but the UK tv series "Grand Designs" follows people who self-build.

Congratulations, at least you were able to extract yourself from that road-to-nowhere and have positive things to look forward to. I am sure you'll be very aware of this in the future and help your own kids not get hooked.

As far as this not being the fault of developers. OK, sure, at a basic level, you are absolutely correct. Just like it is far easier for thugs to sell drugs to kids than to go find a real job or start a real company with real products.

The issue here is that all of these game studios go for easy-and-addictive without a care in the world about what damage they are causing. Trying to find new creative and positive gaming experiences is much, much harder. The formula for addictive games is known and relatively easy to implement these days.

I can ping google.com with 1-5ms in almost any locale I've been to assuming fiber is installed. Google has a presence in so many areas that low latencies are trivial to get.

Sub 10-15ms is easily achievable even with a modest investment for gaming services. Azure or AWS could do this if they chose, but they would have to deploy many mirrors. Even in 'fast action' multiplayer games, as long as the total latency stays under 40-50ms you're good, not great, but completely playable. That's perfectly achievable in a world where we're moving to gigabit and other lower latency last mile solutions. Heck, even my uverse vdsl isn't too bad with latency and that's a last gen technology.

OnLive launched when home bandwidth was slow and had higher latencies. I could see this service doing okay as people migrate to better internet connections. Also hardware accelerated mpeg4 is on pretty much all PCs now considering it launched with Sandy Bridge '11. OnLive just launched 5 years too early.

The industry would have to change along with this. You'd probably have a slower tick rate on multiplayer game servers to make up for increased latency and other things hardcore gamers won't like, but for most of us, it won't matter. Hardcores won't be using this service anyway. Even if some multiplayer games cant be played like this, its still an incredible value for single player games. A gaming PC is prohibitively expensive still and a hypothetical MS or Amazon version of OnLive could be cheaper than buying a console and buying games for it.

If SF had been a little less NIMBY, we'd have been covered in freeways a few decades back and it would be lovely.

http://hoodline.com/2015/03/panhandle-freeway-revolt

The only reason BART exists is because of the NIMBYs:

"Lost in the story of the Freeway Revolt is the role it played in helping BART get institutional support. After the 1959 Supervisorial defeat of freeway plans, BART advocates got surplus Bay Bridge tolls allocated to the proposed transbay tube. After the 1961 vote against the Western Freeway, Mayor George Christopher and the influential Bay Area Council both endorsed the proposed BART system."

The Geary line would be something akin to Boston's Big Dig in complexity and scale.
> Don't extensions have their own DOM

They can. They can also manipulate the page DOM.

> Why would anyone run Angular on a browser page?

Because you want to manipulate its DOM and Angular is what you're familiar with?

> It would probably conflict with existing application

Note that it would operate on the same _DOM_ but not in the same scripting environment. That is, if you have a DOM element "foo" that comes from the web page, then doing:

foo.somePropNameIMadeUp = 5;

will set a property that is not visible to the web page, while doing:

foo.setAttribute("id", "myId");

or:

foo.id = "myId";

will modify the DOM in a way the web page can see.

I agree: a lot of people care what their houses look like here. But 99% of the population doesn't care about this level of architectural nuance. And certainly not the population of people who are in the market for these sorts of homes in the first place (upper middle-class, suburban, etc.).

It's hard to prove a negative, but "despite all of this, the popularity of McMansions is picking up again". If McMansions are as "bad" as the author makes them out to be, and homebuyers "care" as much as you say they do, how do you account for the market?
