It used to be the case, circa the 1990's, that you only saw libraries and example code. Sometimes a "skeleton project". Anything beyond that was exceptional. Having lots of open code available online was a new idea.

The thing that made the framework prolific - and it happened in tandem with the rise of Wordpress and other CMS systems - was having so many small, disposable projects. Rather than copy the same skeleton over and over, you could run a cute "new" or "init" command to do the same thing, glom together some plugins, tutorials, and styling, and instantly have something that looked the part - provided you didn't actually test it on a actual business case. Since many web site projects were and are still primarily fancy landing pages, with simple interactivity, frameworks became hugely appealing as a way to ensure a degree of polish and maintainability.

But frameworks became marketed as the way to make web apps, and here I think our enthusiasm went astray, since apps pretty consistently need to work through all their infrastructure from first principles, even if they're doing something relatively small. The "microframework" approach of bundling together unrelated libraries or interfacing their functions to a common protocol has remained a popular one, and that is most likely because it better satisfies the needs of app makers.

I think that maybe the submitters are running a variety of ad-etc-blocking software, and so they're not seeing it.
That's a huge red flag to me.

You got an application designed to host a few repos on a single disk for a single company. And you wanna run it to store millions of repos for the entire internet... on a single volume.

I understand that you want to run the same thing as your customers. But you have different needs, you gonna run in permanent conflicts.

How much storage do you have now per service? How much growth do they experience? Do you even know if CephFS can scale linearly with servers/disks?
Not only is NVIDIA getting those three things that Huang mentioned, but they are also planning, and maybe getting, a monopoly.
Think, rapidly switching from chip-making to AI, before anybody else, but not for self-driving cars. Then, when Tesla decided to start self-driving cars, NVIDIA hopped in and now Tesla is going to use their Drive PX2 supercomputer.
This is a smart move by NVIDIA, after all, they're five years ahead!

I saw so many bugs, so I switched from "code is working" by default to "code is broken" by default unless it proven that code is working correctly at target environment with required constraints.

Moreover, test cases are saving development time massively, so why waste time for manual tests and debugging sessions, when I can use computer to do that instead of me? When practiced regularly, test cases are written in tens of seconds. For example, if I will work on a calculator, I will write something like assertEquals(calculate("2+2"), 4, "Result of arithmetic addition is wrong."); Then I will work on calculator until this test will pass. Only then I may start to write unit tests. It's easy and fast, so why not?

Old line Silicon Valley companies like HP are notorious for doing this, although as I recall they've been cluefull enough to avoid the "train your own replacement" PR debacles that are most recently driving this, those are in companies where "IT" is a cost center, like that California electrical company and Disney.

Amusingly perl's documentation says .pl is for a perl library and perl scripts should be .plx (for perl executable).

So nobody pays attention to that rule anyway.

I do get slightly confused switching between #perl and ##prolog on freenode sometimes, but the other regulars just laugh at me and we move on ;)
To be honest, I don't think either should auto-play anyway. I personally prefer to using the Youtube website on my phone vs the app because its a better experience. Given that situation, I am usually looking for the video description and/or comments rather than the video before I start watching it. Unfortunately, Youtube hides the description under a tap icon and you have to scroll past all of the recommended videos to see the comments. Its not an ideal experience.

I think that a lot of people here make assumptions about the project that are not necessarily true. For example "everyone can deploy from master at anytime" is a great rule for a website that can actually be deployed by one click of a button, but a very bad practice for an iOS app, each new version of which can, theoretically, spend up to two weeks in review.

Also, what's your QA process and what is the usual quality of your builds? How R&D heavy are your new features, and how long do they typically take to develop? Are your programmers own different parts of the codebase, or is every one of them able to work on anything?

Without all this details it's impossible to know which workflow is ideal for your particular team.
I would probably leave, unless I needed the site and couldn't get what they offer anywhere else. (Eg online shopping.)

> How would you define "advertising" for purposes of this tax?

I would define it as all revenue from any for-profit publisher. This starting from the assumption that 99% of it is:

- reproduced from other sources without fact checking

- provided by PR firms and other interested parties

- actual advertisements or sponsored content

This powerfull spread of disinformation must imo be countered somehow, and I cannot think of any other way then let a democratically elected government tax all this and use the proceeds to fund a compensating force of actual journalists doing their job independently, for the benefit of society.

But you can't predict what would happen. Driving even healthy and sober, something could happen. Assuming you're in a more developed version of the self-driving cars, machine-learning has most likely come a long way since the beginning. The car/network of cars would have learned by now that the command:
"Stay on the right side of the road."
Doesn't mean to stay on the right side of the road but it's okay to hit a few cars or pedestrians."
They would have learned, or have programmed in them, that hitting cars or people is not good.
Machines don't have a moral sense, and hoping that they are not completely sentient, this means that they don't have opinions, meaning that if you don't like this guy, you can be a little rude to him.
And my last point is that the network of cars, all communicating at once, would learn how to be safest.
Done.

Local website[0] for tracking the magnitude and location of the quakes has it as a 7.5.

Unfortunately it's still the middle of the night there, so the full extent of the damage won't be known until morning.
In contrast with the earthquake in 2011, this quake appears to have had a longer duration, and more of a "roll" to it.
The 2011 earthquake in Christchurch was fairly short with a violent shake to it.

Judging from Buoy data[1] and recent reports, a Tsunami is very likely.

Unless I've misunderstood something, I don't think Mozilla has received much if any money from Google for a couple of years now. They have search deals with Yahoo, Yandex, and Baidu in their respective markets, which would make me nervous about the future if I worked for Mozilla. Not sure whether those deals might lead them to make decisions against the users' interests.
While I can't speak from first hand experience, I have an open ear sometimes.

There are these developers who just made an awesome webapp or something. It's really great but there is a problem. Noone knows about it. But they have a solution for that problem. They buy some "promotion". It's articles in newsletters or outright spam directed at their target audience. I cannot tell you exactly who their target audience is but I can tell you who it is not. It's not you, me or most readers on hackernews. It's less tech savyy people with more decision power. Old people. Their site is made for old people. And they don't care about you and me or any other passer-by who won't pay a dime. They care about conversion rates and that is what they monitor all day long.

It's a bit like in those scam-emails. They are so obvious that anybody with half a brain will click delete. But those who do reply, oh boy, they are so ready to be milked off by that nigerian prince.
I think the most important thing in _keeping_ your friends is frequent interaction. I'm over 35, I can't stand Facebook/Twitter, my closest friend (distance wise) is 1 state away, and most of my friends are married with children.

That said, I remain in _daily_ contact with my actual close friends, some friends going back to middle school, via games and group chats (then IRC, AIM, now Telegram).

I will say it is rare for _everyone_ to be online at the same time with juggling life/kids etc but no one goes missing for more than a couple weeks on vacation

Once a feature is merged, how is the history of a feature branch helpful?

> Anything questionable about these things?

Yep, always :)

I mostly buy your argument about central banks creating demand. But I think the phrase "The central bank can print arbitrary amounts of money" is ambiguous enough to warrant questioning. It'd be more convincing to say "The central bank can print arbitrary amounts of money, subject to political constraints". Because I do think those political constraints are non-trivial. But fair enough.

Your other claim was that land could be taxed "without disturbing the economy". I'm not sure I'm convinced. A land tax would undoubtedly modify land use, which would change how the economy operates. So maybe you meant it could be done without adverse consequences?

In general I think a land tax is a good idea: it would encourage efficient use of land. It would also mean that people pay their fair share for infrastructure improvements that they benefit from.

On the other hand, I don't think it's fair to say that a land tax can't have adverse consequences. Consider what might happen if a very high land tax was imposed. It might incentivise people to move to lower-value areas, pushing up urban sprawl and commute times. It might also increase the risk of starting up certain types of small business (will my city centre coffee shop go under because I can't afford the tax payments?). So I don't think it's fair to say there would be no unintended consequences.

You don't need a pause button on all the videos. You just need a single button that pauses all the videos. I would be delighted if the escape key on my laptop served this purpose.

Of course, now you have no UI no restart a particular video. But the advertisers would figure this out about 30s after a global pause feature was introduced.

I appreciate that Wired is writing about this topic. That said, I don't know anyone who works in tech that is not aware of the following facts:

1. Body shops overwhelmingly exist to abuse the H1B visa allocation system

2. Contractors cost more than FTEs, but it can be booked as CapEx instead of OpEx so looks better during reporting

3. Body shops generally supply subpar labor. People with cooked resumes that are incapable of performing at the same level as their non-body shop title peers.

4. Body shops overwhelmingly arbitrage the fact it's near impossible to legitimately acquire H1B visa allocations and the broken rules about job changes for immigrants on H1B visas.

5. All of this adds up to body shops treating immigrant workers horribly while at the same time largely defrauding their customers and the government offices responsible for visa allocations

TL;DR: Body shops are evil, everyone knows this, management doesn't care because it looks good to shareholders.

> For example "everyone can deploy from master at anytime" is a great rule for a website that can actually be deployed by one click of a button, but a very bad practice for an iOS app, each new version of which can, theoretically, spend up to two weeks in review.

What is meant by that is that what ends up in master should always be working, complete, tested code, not half-finished stuff. It doesn't mean that you need to deploy each and every commit to the public. It means that master is the canonical source of truth for the current state, disregarding tasks that are not yet complete. It means that there's a solid base for people to branch from without worrying about things that are temporarily broken.

What I normally do with iOS teams is have the CI tool produce a new internal build for every commit to master. That way everybody, including testers, have the most up to date version of the application readily available. That starts to fall apart if developers treat master as just the place to put work-in-progress stuff. It doesn't mean that we're submitting to Apple several times a day, it just means that we're sure what's in master is "done done".

It's just pattern matching. How is this pattern formally defined (for the first problem)? x = sqrt(x + sqrt(x+sqrt(x...))) is informal, so the real definition is a recursion x = sqrt(x + THING), and THING = sqrt(x + THING), which is convenient, because that's just x again. So x = sqrt(x + x) = sqrt(2*x). Oftentimes with mathy stuff (but not always), if you have trouble, right out definitions for the confusing parts and work with that instead, recursing until it makes sense.

> The underlying technologies of the Web are in constant evolution and we cannot keep TitanPad up to Web standards.

Is the web itself really changing in backwards-incompatible ways that would break a web application like TitanPad? That's disappointing if so. I wouldn't want the web to evolve in such a way as that documents need to be actively "maintained" or else risk becoming unintelligible or unusable. The value of having standards is diminished if they are continuously moving targets.

In contrast, I understand exactly why server infrastructure faces a large challenge in this area. I'm sure they built their "legacy" service on version 1.0 of something, which ran on version "X" of something else, and now that platform's major releases focus on version "Y" and beyond (and by the way, version 1.0 of something no longer builds on version "Y" of the platform), and the platform team has recently announced "X" has reached end of life and will stop receiving security updates. And so on, and so forth.

Bit rot. It happens with system software. Is it happening to the web too? I am distinguishing between the server software that renders the HTML/CSS/JS content, and the compatibility of that content to be displayed and interact correctly in browsers.
This is very true. When I was new to Portland, activities helped me make several friends. I joined hiking meetups and would randomly go on hikes to Rainier and Hood. I bought a bike and joined a biking meetup and met several good people. The key is to attend these events regularly. For me, the goal was not to make new friends but to just get reasonably good at the said activity. Making new friends was just a side effect.
I have a 3G Mobile Wireless Modem/Router (TP-Link M5250[1], heavily recommended btw) and this "if wireless connection present, download all the things" attitude really annoys me.

Whatsapp, Google Maps and many other apps too make the same false assumption.
