The author did post a story about intercooler four times in the last 3 years. Where is the problem?

Whats the problem with that if their is no need to reuse the API, or if there is no API at all, just a bunch of uncool php scripts?

Is client-side rendering better per se?

What standard do you refer to?

I think it is obvious that this lib isn't meant to be the foundation for the next facebook app, be a contender for the current hip bloatware frameworks or might be the best lib for single page apps generally. But I can see lots of use cases where this lib will help to spice up some projects without getting burden under some boatload of unnecessary tooling and boilerplate codes.

I certainly won't presume to tell Will Stein about number theory, but it seems strange to me to include in a calculus class (even without proof). Far be it from me to suggest ever excluding interesting mathematical content, but I'd be suspicious of an ordinary calculus class appreciating the significance of this result. On the other hand, maybe such prophecies are self fulfilling, and the enthusiasm of the teacher engenders the enthusiasm of his or her students, whatever the material.

I used to just use the Windows "Update driver" dialog to manually find nvlddmkm.sys and install it that way to avoid the bloat. I haven't used Windows in a while but it may still be possible.
Artists that work commercially design. You think Pixar isn't making designed products? Or Nintendo? Or every act on the Billboard charts?

Yes, art made off the cuff does happen, and it's a great way to engage yourself creatively, and sometimes you have some great happy accidents. But anything more structured involves oodles of design work.

Edit: And yeah, this is probably most aimed at (graphic) designers who want to excuse themselves from designing. But it points the finger in the wrong direction.
Yes, this is key.

For some people, it's not really surprising that they're depressed. Low opportunity, low-income, poor surroundings, poor education, stressful paycheck to paycheck existence. Of course they're miserable.

Of course, adversely comparing yourself to peers is also a strategy for misery.

For those of us to be lucky enough to be in reasonable shape, the knack to avoiding self-pity and depression is to accept yourself, and work through or around your own limitations and count your blessings.

Those are all good reasons to use a bike but if you use one as a politician (consider that Germany has a Green party that actually matters) it's also a way of showing "street cred", if you will.

I bought the same model last weekend, and am very happy with it. Of course, it replaced my old 13" MacBook Air, not a Pro.

I was worried about the keyboard but have grown to love it (I couldn't stand the MacBook one, but this is much better). And the P3 Retina display is gorgeous. The colors and brightness are truly stunning, and the audio is surprisingly clear and "present".

Still, I miss MagSafe. It was metallic and elegant and had the perfect little charging light. This plug is white and plastic and cheap-looking and no light... it's a shame.

I mean, I get standardizing on USB-C only for peripherals, but I don't get it for power. You've always got to carry the power brick anyways, so the connector doesn't have to be standard -- or do we expect that someday USB-C charging cables will be so ubiquitous you don't need to take it with you?
This is exactly the kind of condescension by the coastal elite that is fueling the Trump momentum. Maybe just maybe, not everyone who supports capitalism and opposes a humongous federal government is not an ignorant racist. Too radical to contemplate for you, I guess?
> "In businesses, schools, offices, even newspapers, design is often associated with the art department. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of the aim of design."

True.

> "When art and design are confused, the designers’ domain becomes limited to style and appearance."

But then constraining art to style and appearance is also a misunderstanding of the aim of art... Coming from a designer of his caliber, it is unlikely he meant to say that. All the same, words like "art" or "design" don't have fixed definitions.
Fair. I try to do this. I still make mistakes, I'm sure. This ultimately comes down to a "good intentions." Would be neat to make a mechanism out of it.
If you like this sort of thing I can recommend to look at Patternslib (http://patternslib.com ), which has many tools to add interactive behaviour to a webpage without having to write and javascript, making it a great toolset for designers. The injection pattern (see http://patternslib.com/inject/ ) does everything intercooler does, but also a lot more.

I had a chat with a Japanese coworker some time ago.

Some of the Japanese addiction for work was to distract themselves from the destructive effects of WW2.

By working, they thought they would gradually turn their homeland into a better place and become a better society.

Now we can see some of the side effects of the excess work, like a reduced birth rate, increased suicide rate, growing debt, death from overwork (karoshi), people doing secret nap meetings or sleeping in their desks (inemuri), etc.
If you're a fan of "How not to be wrong" (http://www.jordanellenberg.com/how-not-to-be-wrong )—and, if you're not, then go read it and you probably will be—then it may be worth noting that this article is by the same author. It is an excellent and accessible exposition that doesn't shy away from pointing to more technical resources for those who are interested.

There is very little information in this post.

The only question I had after reading this was: how does one become become a blogger that gets a Macbook Pro from Apple to review?
Yet another really impressive deep-learning result. From scanning the paper, the data-sets seems to be rather limited though (that's why the sentences are so contrived), so hard to use in real life situations at this stage.

To me this has some very interesting applications: e.g. surveillance cameras can scan crowds and conversations can be searched using word-queries. Or maybe people will want to do sentiment analysis of what is said in a store or restaurant.
For what it's worth, the 13-inch MacBook Pro with 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports (this one) gets a hair over 16 hours of battery life in Ars' Wifi Browsing Test. Unfortunately, this benchmark did not contain a measurement for the 13" MacBook Air, its spiritual predecessor. The old 13" Pro got 14 hours.

This seems to make things simpler at first glance, but I fear in the end you end up with the worst of both worlds: You have the API inflexibility and UX restrictions of a pure-HTML approach combined with the overhead and need for graceful degradation of a full-ajax approach.
A little bit of both. It is a commitment to efficiently and dispassionately evaluating the facts at hand on their own merits, but it also is the practiced discipline of disregarding your emotional reaction and recognizing that your emotional reaction to offensive ideas are not grounded in reason.

It follows from the idea that how something makes you feel has little relation to its veracity or rationality. If the goal of discussion is primarily about the veracity and rationality of an argument then taking offense contributes nothing toward that goal and tends to suppress otherwise reasonable perspectives via social convention.

Crocker's Rules can be looked at as an intentional refusal to have any sacred cows, consciously or subconsciously, and making an effort to respond to every discussion as if one actually does have no sacred cows.

Power by Jeffrey Pfeffer
Sounds exactly like my experience doing Project Euler. I learned a lot about mathematics from it. I don't know how much of it actually helped me as a programmer, because I don't tend to run into problems of this nature (not that I notice, anyway), but it was fun.
> but I don't get it for power.

Spot on. The move towards USB-C is for the better since it's one port to do it all, but charging via USB-C seems going backwards. I wonder how much of a technical challenge it would have been to let users do it both ways.
Ask HN: Tired of trying to catch the JavaScript train
Hi,

Since 4 years, I always tried to be up to date regarding a Javascript framework. Now, I'm really tired.
I find that the time spent on learning is not worth the time I spend on projects.
I don't know if it's specific to the Javascript world, but I find that it moves very fast. Too fast.
The problem is not with the language itself, but more with the frameworks and tooling.

My question is : how do you manage this tiredness ? How do you get over it ?

Regards.
This sounds like a reliable method (lots of data points!), and using different utilities should decrease false positives.
"or do we expect that someday USB-C charging cables will be so ubiquitous you don't need to take it with you?"

That one.
This is something that, I hate to say, will probably take a law to fix. Companies in general have shown a resistance to understanding why this is a problem (even when well intentioned).
> I mean, I get standardizing on USB-C only for peripherals, but I don't get it for power.

* A dedicated power port takes up space; now you can use it for data too.

* If a USB-C cable breaks, it's a lot cheaper to replace than an entire power brick.

* There are ports on both sides of the laptop, so you can now charge from either side – this reduces cable strain.

* And, as you say, it's a standard. As USB-C cords become ubiquitous, you'll be able to charge anywhere (or from a battery pack even).

It seems like a good decision all told, though I'll miss MagSafe too.
How the ‘Amazon effect’ [is] impacting retail
> I find the lack of response in the keys unpleasant, but I can still type at full speed and accuracy when I use it.

I'm not worried about losing speed, I'm worried about developing hand and wrist pain over time, which seems, at least for me, to be an issue with using low travel keyboards. Maybe I just need to learn to type with a lighter touch.
WoW as a whole may feel dumbed down, but the skill cap at the highest levels of play has certainly increased with the last expansion. Easy to learn, hard to master seems to be the paradigm with them.
How do you see this comparing with older existing solutions like Rails' Unobtrusive JavaScript? It has always handled this kind of thing very well for me, and has been around a long time.

By using a USB-C connector for power, you add a free port whenever you're not charging.

Errr, I should have said "(gently) throttle down", since that's potentially in the menu of options for liquid fueled rockets. What you're talking about sure sounds like an inherently violent deceleration. And the tops of those SRBs are uncomfortably close to the tank and the LOX tank in it at the top....

As you say, "a bit iffy", at the very minimum.
Also, error-prone works in a fundamentally different way to FindBugs: error-prone is a compiler plugin, whereas Findbugs is an after-the-fact static analyser. This means, for example, you can include dependencies on the codebase you're analysing in your findbugs checks, but not in error-prone.

This turns out to be really quite relevant if you're building domain-specific static analysis checks, as opposed to just running standard analyses.

Yes. I don't have a new MacBook but I have a USB C phone, and the prospect of not having to have different chargers (and the ability to get another one without paying ~$90) is super attractive. I'm not sure if iPhone will ever move past Lightning, but I can imagine everything else low voltage moving to USB-C.
Why would a capsule designed for Mars-return reentry with propulsive landing not survive sub-orbital reentry?
This experiment applies to textbooks as well.

I looked over an old edition of Halliday+Resnick once, a well thought of lower division physics book. The text was substantially the same but it was black and white. This meant no syntax highlighting and also no glossy paper. The result was a LOT easier to read.

Glossy paper is a designery thing to do for deeper blacks but it's less readable. Indeed that's why actual designers like matte finish MBPs, because you don't want to read with a 20% opacity of yourself staring at you.
LA Transit has a "last 5 miles" problem. Many people live 5 or more miles from the stop. The local bus can add 30-40 minutes for what should be a 10 minute car ride. The park and ride lots are always full before 6:30AM, and account for 200 riders at the smaller lots and maybe 1000 at the larger ones. Parking is expensive to build too.

Add to that, poor choices to build at grade reduce the effectiveness of light rail. In Pasadena the Gold Line crossing was put at grade across a major artery; should have continued underground for just another mile. This creates a daily traffic jam that lasts for about 2-3 hours.

And then through Highland Park, the rail is at grade through a residential street, making it go 5 MPH and it has to obey traffic signals at the same priority as cars. The end result is a 35 minute commute time Downtown for a trip that takes 20 minutes in no traffic, 35 in typical rush hour traffic and maybe 45-50 worst case. People choose to drive instead just to save time...including my best friend who lives two blocks from a Gold Line stop.
That's great, but it feels you have been a single point of failure on a widely used project. As well as rebooting the project do you have any plans to expand the admin role so it's harder for the project to find itself in this situation in the future?
I don't think it is trying to become popular, it is just a cultural artifact of the Internet as it existed in the 1990s. Enough influential people in tech today were on that mailing list at the time that the reference and idea is still known to some people even though the mailing list is long gone. The only reason I know about it is that I was there (virtually) when it happened.

And that gives you a bit more courage to release things

I gotta say, if the major benefit of telemetry is that vendors can test less before they release, that sounds like a bad thing not a good thing for users?
Certainly. As I mentioned above, Microsoft forms a shell company ("Merger Sub") which is the entity that actually merges with and into LinkedIn.

When Microsoft forms the shell company, it actually incorporates a new company, usually in Delaware, and that new company issues all of its stock to Microsoft, which, since it's a brand new corporation, could be one share or ten million shares, it doesn't matter, since Microsoft owns all of it. Merger Sub, which doesn't operate any business, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft since Microsoft owns all of the stock of Merger Sub.

The Merger Agreement, signed by Microsoft, LinkedIn and Merger Sub, governs what happens to this stock of Merger Sub (and the stock of LinkedIn) at the moment Merger Sub merges into LinkedIn and out of existence. Although I haven't read it in detail for this deal, what typically happens in a reverse triangular merger is that the Merger Agreement will say that all of the outstanding stock of Merger Sub will automatically convert into stock of LinkedIn. It will also say that all of the outstanding stock of LinkedIn (held by the public shareholders) will convert into a right to receive the "per share merger consideration", which is basically that shareholder's portion of the cash Microsoft paid for LinkedIn ($196 per share, in this case).

When the dust settles, then, Microsoft will own all the outstanding shares of LinkedIn, since Merger Sub's shares converted into them when Merger Sub was merged out of existence. The former LinkedIn shares held by the public now is just a right to receive some cash and no longer represents ownership in LinkedIn.

With Microsoft now owning 100% of LinkedIn's shares, in theory, it could elect its own board of directors of LinkedIn, thus giving them control of the company.

In the first article you raised two issues about REST: Developers disagree on what it means to be "REST-ful", and HATEOS never took off, despite being the feature that distinguishes REST from other APIs.

In the second article you explained that HTML could implement HATEOS.

In the third article you argue that GraphQL is the natural progression of REST but its security model is complex to the point of being unsafe.

---

The first article, in my opinion, consisted of straw men arguments.

The second is understandable.

The third made no sense to me. With a system like GraphQL you can use a declarative column-based security model. This is, in my opinion, easier than the imperative stuff you're probably using to make your HTML endpoints secure. With GraphQL you need to set up your security constraints once. With HTML endpoints you need to remember to toggle off certain blocks of HTML for every single request. Is that what you're doing?
For phones I can certainly see it happening. It's already pretty easy to go out and assume that somewhere you'll be able to find either a micro-USB or Lightning cable which covers virtually all smartphones, and you can charge them quickly enough on virtually any USB port or charger. But for laptops, I don't think 50+ watt chargers are going to be ubiquitous, regardless of the charging cable. You're still going to need to carry the actual charger.

As described in the Bible, Jesus went around challenging and insulting the religious leaders of the day.

He did say to be nice sometimes as well, but that was not really what made people angry.
I don't blame NORAD for not predicting 9/11. I blame them for not having planes close enough to be useful.

There's a difference. NORAD assumed they would always get early warning of an attack, and there weren't even enough operational fighters to do anything about it. Both of those things were bad assumptions.
