What is wrong with that? Visual studio code runs on Electron. I bet it looks much more polished and performant than many native editors out there.

Log analysis. Storing a dump of .log files is probably cheap (.log.gz cheaper) but actually using those logs is where the cost comes in.
I suppose having grown up with 24-hour digital clocks since they first appeared in the 1970s, and most of the clocks around the house and on various devices being 24-hour digital, and using public transport which operates in 24-hour time, there is no "translation" that occurs, most Europeans are simply bilingual in 12/24 hour times.

1745 to me just means what 5:45pm means to you, but I never translate it in my head. In fact, if I'm texting someone older who I think might not naturally use 24-hour time, I have to translate to 12-hour time and it always feels odd to write the am/pm suffix.
Well someone has a pretty good network to get this to the first position on HN. Time to work on the HN anti-brigading code I think.
They built it.

They had an experimental project called 'annotations' where you could attach 1k of json to each tweet, like a DIY microformat.

I got onto the beta and created a prototype twitter client which you could attach mini 'apps' to tweets based on the payload type, e.g. you could tweet out a poll, or an inviation to play a game or a job advert or whatever, and you could attach your own app as a listener.

I think it could have been pretty amazing, basically A Message Bus For Everyone. If you build this yourself, you will run into the chicken and egg position, twitter could have pulled it off as they had the eyeballs and the developers.

Unfortunately they pulled the plug on it, around the time they started to close down the ecosystem.

I call bullshit. You're just dumping candidates in your database and allowing recruiters to search it.
Obviously there's a trade-off between security and convenience here, and that's a very personal choice to everyone, so I'm not going to argue that part of things with you.

I do have to point out a couple of things though. Password managers don't store "hashed" passwords with a third party - they store encrypted ones. I also wouldn't personally use the phrase "in the hopes that they will be able to protect my passwords" - I don't rely on LastPass protecting squat. If their entire database leaked, my passwords are still safe. I think that element of the design is very important and wouldn't use a system where hope was required!

You certainly aren't the only paranoid one and lots of people on HN seem pretty wary of password managers :)
This is crazy: "Approximately one in thirty £1 coins in circulation is a counterfeit."
The same in Portuguese: Monday = Segunda (Second); Tuesday = Terça (Third) and successively till Friday = Sexta (Sixth).
They are a recruiter search tool, so your profile just goes into their database for manual searching.
My key criteria for any password method is "what if everyone uses it?". If a major PWM fails, and lots of people did something like this, you can bet your boots that password crackers would give it a go and retrieve your real password.
So he recommends emailing people at random, joining a 'community' (meaning, create an account on a website), and creating 'Deep, meaningful connections' via LinkedIn. No actual detail about what happened when he did these things, and instead he just summarises at the end of the article that 'Great things, like stupid projects and incredible meals, have come from it.' I'm suprised this submission even got through the HN spam filter.
You can take a screenshot. It is an interesting idea provided it's as simple as mockup tools.
Fair. I didn't mean to diss async comms in general - they're still useful. Just took the opportunity to get a few of my thoughts out.
Wow i just went and logged in to https://gyrosco.pe/... Too many animations. Its making me wait for content to show up, lots of animations everywhere causing a lot of congnitive load. And an options to delete your account is not there.

I think animations are very much over used on that site. The article is fine. But dont do too much animations! Keep congnitive load small!
Code review or linters. There's a few linters out there, and they're widely known in the community with loads of documentation/examples. I believe there's Perl::Critic, but I've never seen it used on the few Perl projects I've worked on.

EDIT: I've created a issue on GitHub about this. (https://github.com/lesspass/lesspass/issues/43)
>I wouldn't jump to a conclusion that by applying Jack's ideas you are going to get your company to those 4000% valuation increase.

The reason I mentioned the raging bull S&P (+1400℅) during Welch's tenure and the reason I added the S&P chart was precisely to suggest the possibility of correlation and looking at the performance of each within the context they inherited the company.

The point I was making is that the controversy around Jack Welch as a person has no effect on what you can learn from him as a brain. Imagine if people wouldn't read Mein Kampf because Hitler was "not nice".

Now, you are warning people that there's no direct cause to effect relationship between the advice in the book and the 4000℅.. Is that warranted, though? That would probably be named "cargo cult reading".
Any idea how long ECMAScript 6 has been in development? Well, it used to be called ECMAScript 4 and it was started in 1999, a whole year before Perl 6.

People use this as a negative all the time, or as "the reason" it hasn't picked up, but the rules of software dev are simple: ship fast, ship efficient, ship cheap -- pick two. It's FLOSS, so one choice is already made: ship cheap. Glad that Perl 6 went with efficiency over getting to market quickly.

Spend some time with the language and then go find me anything that comes close to covering the same number of programming paradigms, let alone the coverage of the standard library, then tell me that it missed its shipping target.

tl;dr -- 15 years after it started and it still manages to be more featureful than anything else out there.

There are only really two scenarios in which nature will be fine. Humans wipe themselves out, or humans build a long term (billions of years) sustainable civilization that maintains extensive nature reserves well stocked with viable and sustainable populations of wildlife with no interruptions or reserve management screw ups for the rest of the life of the solar system.
Pretty much that - as someone else expressed in a joke: You don't want to send the message that it's about evaluating functionality and that you're lamost done. You want to send the message that this is a sketch to use as a basis for discussing flows.

This is one of the reasons why find people taking pains in some of these type of tools to not make it look like the real deal, because the closer it looks to the real deal, the more some people get hung up on irrelevant details.
Don't forget also the disdain for environmental problems that always bite you hard in return a few years later.

In the Chavez presidency, the Lake Maracaibo protection was neglected, leading to serious pillage and contamination episodes by Hidrolago, Petrol companies, etc... The old ecosystem, plenty of fishes was destroyed and displaced by another ecosystem, one that is very ill. You can't use this water anymore to provide food for the people. Most fishes are gone and duckweeds poison the water regularly.

You can easily create fertilizer processing organic residues, after all is a "subproduct of humans", but the government decided instead to simply trow all to the lake without any processing, that is a criminal movement.

With the addition of server push this would be an ideal tool for a web game I've been vaguely working on --- I keep getting lost in a maze of client/server code. With intercooler it may just all go away.

As an aside: Intercooler obviously requires Javascript to work; is there any fallback if Javascript's not available? It sounds like, at least for interactions on things like form buttons, it ought to be possible to send an old fashioned POST to the server which rerenders the entire page.
You don't have to sign a "must produce at least x photos for unsplash" contract when you buy a camera. If they want to make money off their photographs then indeed they'll use a site where they can earn money. Unsplash is not the site for that.

Talented individuals are doing bespoke work, not taking random pictures for peoples' 404 pages. The advice I can give to talented people who are not well off is learn to talk business. Your photos are great, that's why we're talking with you. Now lets hash out the business side of things, the easier you make it to buy or license exclusive access to these images we want the easier we push your invoice through accounting.
Depends on the app. For some sellers I prefer apps on mobile because their mobile web experience is shitty or inexistent. An app with good caching is preferable to a web app that spends half of the time re-fetching assets.

My biggest problem with web-apps is that you can select parts of the chrome half of the time.

Moreover, there are many usergroups and meetups

I've been to lots of those, almost always found something interesting about them and many times I've even had fun, but I've always left them just as lonely as I was when I went in. They're a great way to learn something, pass the time and find people to chat tech with for while, but I've never found them particularly good for making social contacts.
I'd like to add NEC to your list (surprised no one is mentioning them). They completely dominated the Japanese PC market during the 80's and 90's, and even though the've been declining heavily since, it's still a strong brand in Japan holding about a fifth of the market share.

The surface is the data. E.g. the ridership for Lafayette Street is the upper line of the green area, minus the lower line of the green area. This is called an area chart and is used to show cumulative data and how each part contributes to the whole. In this case it shows the total NYC ridership increasing from ~7000 to ~18000 (units are unclear!), while e.g. the Central Park West ridership has remained approximately constant.

Marxism is certainly disciplined as millions know to their cost.
Others have expressed most of them, but issues I see with this is:

* Algorithm can't be changed/improved without changing all your passwords.

* Your master password can't be changed without changing all your passwords.

* You have to remember yourself at what sites you are already registered, and in case of critical bug, you would perhaps need to change password at some services (again remembering which ones they were).

With that said, I really like the outside-of-the-box thinking on this.
Problem with Electron is, that some stuff implemented on it is really slow. Look how Atom compares to VSCode, one is really snappy, the other starts lagging when you installed a bunch of extensions.

Also, companies like Slack just use Electron as a 60MB wrapper for their website.
Looks like the original creators rebooted it under the github project https://github.com/evolus/pencil.
Perhaps then Go should include tooling to trace back the original definition (?)
It's not abandoned, but actually active again:

> They should drop the name Perl altogether and go for Rakudo IMHO

That would be a great idea. Inside the Perl community, everybody is already invested in Perl 5, and Perl 6 is just too different. Outside the Perl community, nobody would want to be found dead with anything called Perl. If Perl 6 is sufficiently better and sufficiently different, releasing under a new name would make a lot of sense.

Well, one of the big benefits of SMS twitter was you could subscribe with no account. We used this for our systems notification twitter account to send out status updates during downtime or any time when we were pretty sure our user base couldn't access our status page through normal means.

Mildly annoying was at the time there wasn't a way to see how many SMS subscribers you had. Don't know if that has changed or not, but it left us constantly wondering how many we had outside of our IRL headcount.

Algorithmic Accountability and Transparency in the Digital Economy
> AI is getting machines to solve problems they haven't been explicitly programmed to solve.

That's one possible definition of AI, and not a terribly good one – just this morning, gmail solved my problem "I don't have John's phone#" without ever being explicitly programmed to "find John's phone#".

It seems people will always redefine AI to exclude whatever advances are made. Even passing the Turing test will just mean we've build an exceptionally good chatbot.

So here's my definition: AI is an algorithm that gets distracted from its original purpose to argue about the definition of AI on the Internet.

...and now back to categorizing these pictures. If I see one more Ostrich I'm going to segfault so hard.

I mean the successful branded apps provide better convienence than a mobile site, makes transactions faster or provide functionality (loyalty program) over the mobile site. Like the you can argue there is no need for a Domino's or Amazon app because you can do almost all the functionality via their mobile site but their apps have millions of downloads. Brands can just leverage every inch of performance and convince via native apps. Also at the end of the day the end users are the ones that decide how beneficial these apps for them and if they keep them installed on their phone.

If I'm not mistaken the biggest disadvantage of supercapacitors is the energy density by mass[1], which means that while they hold a good power density by mass it's only temporary. Good at sprinting not so good at marathons.

It's great that there are advances in the field for many reasons, but I don't think they could replace batteries in the short-middle term, which seems to be the point of the "scientific click-bait" article.

Which "normal circumstances" are you referring to?
Suggesting that a fall itself might kill a cyclist is pretty far fetched.

Lying on a street - yes. Because cars might roll over you, cause of the kinetic energy.

Getting squished between cars - yes. Because of the huge mass of the car.

Banging your head against an opening car door - yes. This time it is because of your own kinetic energy that hits a small surface area which is immobile cause of the mass of the car.

So it is quite dangerous to get near to cars, yes. But almost always because of the huge mass of the cars, especially if they are moving. That was the point of ggp.

I had a Panasonic CF-Y5. As one review had it: "The exterior design of the machine's casing is reminiscent of a Sherman tank cross-bred with a 1970s sports saloon, while the lid opens with the grace of a bank vault door."

It was incredibly lightweight (1.53kg at 14" with an optical drive!) and built like, well, a Sherman tank. It wasn't only the casing reminiscing it. In a weird little apartment overcrowded by all startup coders attending a conference someone accidentally kicked it off the table and yet it was completely OK.

I could only afford it because the CF-Y7 just got out and for a while I couldn't afford them and then the B10 was no longer so incredibly tough (although the current models do mention a drop test and a pressurized test). Anyways, I am back to ThinkPads ever since. The keyboard is much better but the weight is worse. I am currently using a T420s upgraded with an 1080p screen and waiting for the Retro to happen.

I can't recall the article but it had the most epiphanic advice about networking — network with your work. When you are doing great work — blogging, building, or making side-projects — networking is almost a by-product. People get to know you from Forums, Github, and communities, already being ecstatic about meeting you.

I am a bit indifferent towards 'deliberate networking'. The problem with it is that you are often end-up cultivating weak-ties — people who 'just' know you. Personally, I emphasise on having, even if limited, strong ties with people whom you can relate to.

I don't have a strong network, but the best people I have met is invariably by happenstance. So I don't think any networking advice should go beyond — a) doing awesome work and b) learning to do small-talk.
Golang: How to Connect to MySQL / MariaDB or Postgres Over an SSH Connection
I wouldn't write off project managers' appreciation for interactive prototypes...

Although I would agree that they often (but, ime, not always) appreciate an export (eg pdf) that can be signed off and stored.

We've had some project managers who were almost the most enthusiastic team member about interactive prototypes because they were the most effective (and understandable) thing to demonstrate/give to customers.

(To your general point though, I entirely agree, I wouldn't use QT Designer for this role -- and I'm also quite a fan of pencil, because it feels intentionally plain/bland.)
Because there are other things to consider besides efficiency. You don't just swap out your stack on a whim, because you lose other things like experience. There are probably people up there who can fix a diesel generator in a snowstorm blindfolded using a part they had in their garage from 10 years back. They could probably fix a wind turbine.

But probably isn't the word you want when your whole town is dependent on that power source. So you start small, fix the problems that will arise, gain a knowledge base, and THEN move on to bigger things.

1. Through over-fishing, exploitation and pollution the higher marine animal populations collapse. Coral reefs disappear.

2. After several generations nobody alive has ever seen a coral reef, a whale or dolphin. Most of the 'attractive' marine environments are heavily compromised so nobody is interested in preserving the marine environment anymore as it's mostly gone already.

3. Humans develop a global stable civilization.

4. After a million years or so the remaining marine habitats and life forms have heavily adapted to the new environment. Few to no higher animals remain that resemble their 'natural' forms. Humanity comes to regard these as vermine.

Project the above over another couple of billions of years.

Here Is What a Big Part of Amazon’s Endgame Looks Like
Actually, AMD's latest design, the RX 4x0 series, measures up really well to NVidia's mid and low end cards, especially for Vulkan/DX12 apps. They're not a contender in the enthusiast market, but will be releasing high-end cards using a refined design in the first half of 2017.

As for drivers, AMD has pledged to open source their Vulkan and OpenCL implementations. While that release has been pending "legal review" forever now, alternative open source drivers are making great progress thanks to Vulkan's simpler driver model.
While NVidia's generally had the "better" driver, both from adhering less strictly to the spec and having the manpower to routinely fix application bugs in their driver, that's all changed with Vulkan/DX12 being significantly closer to the hardware.

I'd say things are looking up for market balance.
