Phew. And people complain about JavaScript frameworks. Those are just the ones I've remembered. Probably a hundred more whose names my memory did not retain. Varying use cases for the likes of min.css and Material Design Lite/clones but still.

I also developed my own (it would be unfair to call it a framework in my case) boilerplate for front-end work, but even if I turned it into a UI framework, I wouldn't be able to justify adding to the list above.

I'm in two minds about UI frameworks anyway. I keep mine as a boilerplate because I like to offer significantly different design options when I develop a website for a client, and I think front-end frameworks have played some part in the samey-ness of all websites today.

That said, how many start-ups have launched with less money spent on front-end developers thanks to Bootstrap? Lots, I'm sure.

How many hours were saved not working out all of the IE8 hacks Bootstrap includes as standard? Many, many, many.

Bootstrap and friends can all be chopped down to size before you even download the source files. Others like Bass CSS are designed to be extremely malleable, so I'm
not sure what else there is to bring to the table.

Stuff like Bulma is flexbox-based, which is advertised as a feature, though I'm not sure it should be. In my experience, any mention of flexbox means 'less reliable than using float/display: inline-block/position: absolute for older browsers'
It's extremely offensive to me that the people are so powerless to fix things like this without sneaking it (like that guy that added a much-needed highway sign in the LA area before it was caught over a year later).
I read it more as that he does trust Apple (who could remotely update his phone with backdoors, read his iCloud contents or ..., but likely has strict controls in place against this), but he doesn't necessarily trust a random individual Apple employee who has unlimited and unsupervised access to his phone. Especially since there are documented cases of store employees copying photos, less so of Apple actually compromising user data if avoidable.
So many people are missing Troy's point and suggesting that he could wipe the phone, or you can trust apple like you trust a plumber.

It's a hardware problem. Can't Apple as the hardware manufacturer create a sandboxed service area on your phone where they and their genii can do diagnostics? Does it really take every person with a hardware issue to either hand-over their entire device unencrypted or wipe the device before giving it to the manufacturer for maintenance?

Imagine if you could let a plumber into your house, but they could only see the plumbing! They would have no access to all the goods in your house. Isn't that what we should be aiming for with technology? Don't try to put real world constraints where they shouldn't exist. I can already create a sandboxed 2nd user on my device, why can't apple do this themselves, just for them, with the correct hardware or whatever. Or why doesn't apple recommend people do this before handing over the phone.

The Times is the news for capitalist elites.
Interestingly, Facebook apparently had worked on a fix to fake news months ago, but it was cancelled as it would disproportionately hit right-leaning sites, and they were afraid of outrage from it. Doesn't sound like the Bay area dictating anything to me. It sounds overdue.
Maths for Hackers; the 'Hacker' Theorem
Aren't delivery drivers and contractors also in conflict with buses? 80% of the problem of delivery parking could be resolved by removing car parking spaces and putting in dedicated loading zones.

I haven't seen a transit system yet where bikes are allowed to ride on the rails in underground tunnels, so I don't see how bikes are directly in conflict with subway riders?

How are bikes more in conflict with pedestrians than cars already are?
The critical part is the difference in how those on the right and left rate articles that are viewed as right or left leaning. No prizes for guessing how that will turn out.
Freely accessible to random employees, without anything in place to prevent that? Source for that claim?
Sadly, you often look like a killjoy if you respond with a Snopes link discrediting someone's shared image. And even if something's retracted, it's too late - the disinformation is out there.

Could something like Slashdot's meta-moderation ever be applied? In that case, you judged moderation anonymously.

Is spouting non-defamatory lies or exaggerated information free speech?
we aim to rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That is to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor

While they are not alone it's a shame the MSM led itself down this path, I don't feel their almost-admission of bias is going to save the trust.

I do look forward to watching how this unfolds and hope they can bring back some respect to mainstream journalism.
I found this article it links to more alarming: http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/apple-store-photo...

>The Australian privacy commissioner will call on technology giant Apple to explain reports of staff stealing, sharing and ranking of customers' explicit photos.

I think this is important, because all the comments so far are about how this is a crazy hypothetical scenario that no one should be worried about. It's not.
Yeah fuck this account. I'm going to password out of it. Feel free to just delete everything I've written in the past that you don't agree with as well.
> Or maybe there is some trick to compare them without simplifying.

a / b == c / d is equivalent to a * d = c * b, although whether that's a good approach depends on a lot of things.
How is this borderline racist?
If you can't defend that accusation you should not add it. The point in question here was the choice of which countries to compare US to, and the other comment about the ranking has no links to race that I can see.
The problem is that so-called "real" news is itself full of subjectivity, bias and hyperbole. So continues the hand-wringing and pearl-clutching from last week.
My laptop was accidently switched up at the PDX once. I was coordinating to have it shipped back and the lost and found employee asked me to provide my password to prove that the laptop was mine. I had to insist on providing the full serial number a couple of times before she agreed.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here, but there might be legitimate technical reasons - streaming from your ISP's network may actually be easier on the network (it doesn't require inter-network hops, or maybe, since they control the content, they can cache it closer to the edge, etc.).

There may also be financial reasons - if people are paying them for a separate streaming service, then it's easier to justify investments in infrastructure to reduce the congestion from that service.

That assumes that the congestion isn't at the edge/CO/etc. If it is, then I don't know how to justify it, except as a way to get people using their service, which is obviously part of it, either way.
Can you give a cite for that? I missed that story.

The ones I read in Podesta's emails were quite clearly leaked, and then Donna lied about the message being changed by Russia. That was false, because it's DKIM validate and those headers cover the body as well as the headers.
Convenience in BI: Integrate and Embed Apps
You're saying that people used to edit locally, build locally, test locally, then upload to staging/the cloud; now you upload to the cloud first, then build/test/etc. (Of course, people did it this way with Heroku for years because it was harder to build locally, then the pendulum swung back with Docker...)
On Mac you can enable Guest Mode which does the trick.
Hackers at Berkeley
Is there a hacker/entrepreneur community at UC Berkeley? I tried several "startup clubs" and found that the members were mostly Haas-holes who think that wearing suits and using buzzwords is knowing about technology. The programming clubs have people more interested in padding their resumes to work at big software companies or making websites for third-party businesses. Where are the damn hackers? Please let me know.
What? You mean like every other program they've ever run in their lives if they're not a developer, except developed by a personal friend?

Compiling is easy. Configuring path variables and installing interpreters are arcane to non-developers.
To play devil's advocate, there are too many instances of families ruined by alcoholism and heart disease, but you can still buy beer and cheeseburgers.

We clearly will tolerate negative externalities to some degree; a good or service having a negative externality shouldn't be justification enough for banning it.
How is that the problem? Can you cite some examples?

Shouldn't blantantly false information vanish forever, or at least be pushed out of the platform? For example, the meme on Facebook that said the Pope endorsed Donald Trump. It was blatantly false; and yet it was shared over a million times.

Been there, done that. Even went to YAPC EU in Pisa and had a whiff of Larry. Not for me, that's all I can say. It's too loose, too much shooting from the hip. There's a lot of good ideas in there though.

Agreed. Which is why the 'one size fits all' approach might not be the best way to go. The main reason I decided to launch the challenge, and encourage a more combinatory approach with local special purpose allocators.
why is a story 7 hours old with 11 points and 3 comments ranked #page 2 of hN?

This is actually news, and sort of important.

But the article above has 300 points.//?
If that's true, then I don't personally care whether they are constantly capturing audio and discarding it. While that isn't as ideal as, you know, not doing always capturing audio, if it saves half a second when the user decides to capture audio and stops when the app is closed, I can understand that tradeoff.

I don't have Shazam installed on my laptop and honestly can't imagine I ever will, so this is academic for me.
I agree that the news situation is terrible. What's your solution?
I'm a fan of this library -- I used it to build Hecate (https://github.com/evanmiller/hecate), a terminal hex editor. If you get creative with Unicode box and box-drawing characters, you can build some interesting interfaces (tabs, progress bars, etc).

I have no idea why people think this is a crazy hypothetical. Of course some techs will look at your nude photos. And in this case, copy them, post them online, and rate them.
Yes, news is a tricky, subjective thing. No, not all news sources are equal. Some contain hyperbole. Some contain outright lies. To suggest that we shouldn't fix the latter unless we can also fix the former is disingenuous.

Bitcoin is has a supply limit, so that taken together with it's technical features such as a proof of transaction and digital-ness makes it highly valuable in an economy where more and more transactions take place in the digital rather than the physical space.

I'm sure there's a better answer, but that's the best I can muster with my current knowledge on the matter.

I think a better question is "given the rarity of bitcoin, why wouldn't people value it?"

Also, as for the confidence thing, bitcoin is no different than anything else in our economy. Our economy is built on confidence.
Presumably that only entitles you to call the police rather than "neutralise" the problem though.

The next step is to ban them from the platform. Any Facebook Page that continually posts fake news should be given a warning, and then booted if the practice continues. Just as Google has quality guidelines for websites, there should also be quality guidelines for Facebook Pages. To do otherwise is to open up Facebook's users to abuse.
You have a pile for each candidate. The pile for the eliminated candidate is redistributed to the other existing piles in the following way. Each redistributed ballot paper is directed to the highest preference marked on it that is still in the race, if any. Only the redistributed votes need counting at this stage. You don't combine the redistributed votes with the existing piles until you have counted them.
Are there any countries with comparable inequality and diversity? Only South Africa and maybe Australia come to mind, but I think even those lag behind on diversity quite a bit.
Fair enough, that wasn't a right choice of words; I meant more 'xenophobic'. I've changed the wording.

More to the point, shouldn't it be up to us if we want to install the app or not, not just Apple? They can kick him out of the store, of course, but we should still be able to side load (without this open source compiling manually method).

If Android had a phone and watch small enough for me I'd love to change over, but their devices are all for giants (and have no fitness features and not enough privacy features).
Break up the media companies -- 6 of them owning the vast majority of media in the US is a massive problem. Unfortunately, the people supposed to guard against this are part of the same revolving-door lobbyist/crony complex that exists. The AT&T deal is the most recent one that should be blocked, and it seems like Trump has already indicated that is his position on the issue.

Try asking Siri what song is playing...she uses Shazam technology to answer and does so in a lot less time than it takes to launch the Shazam app, wait for it to be ready, tap the button, and get a response. (You can switch to the Shazam app from Siri's response if you want.)
That is the direction of macOS and Windows are going, but apparently many wish things to stay the same old POSIX way.

Give it a spin, you might learn something. Your class is probably focusing on general purpose, system level allocators; a much thornier problem without any really good answers. As How to Solve It states; if you can't solve the given problem, try to solve a simpler version of the problem.

Equality in general is a surprisingly subtle subject. "When is one thing equal to some other thing?"[1] is a fun article about it.

Java's equals method has two core problems in my eyes: it forces every type to define equality (when some types really shouldn't) and it lets you compare any two values, even if they don't have compatible types. My Java is rusty, but I think an Eq<T> interface comparable to Comparable<T> would be a reasonable design:

public interface Eq<T> {
public boolean equals(T o);
}

In particular, I don't mind the fact that there can be at most one equals per type: it's a sensible default 99% of the time. Most things that admit some sort of equality have an "obvious" default equality that makes sense; it's fine to make other comparison functions more explicit. Weird types with no obvious default equals method just shouldn't implement that interface. Worst case, you could just construct a wrapper that exposes a particular equals for that type.
How is that going to change the content of the news? How does that change the incentives that have resulted in the current situation?

Only if you insist on clinging to a general purpose, system level perspective on memory allocation. No amount of thinking and reasoning about these issues is useless.
It is somewhat ironic that he quotes a tweet about Surface being repaired in sight without asking a password, when MS now forces all kinds of telemetry and spyware on their OS.

Quite so. But the point is more about path dependency in media appointments.
Google Uses StarCraft II Game as Testing Platform for AI
I recall reading in the last year or two a recount of how a game developer got their PS3 engine to run at 30 or 60Hz framerate by aggressive triple-buffering of their scenes.

One of the interesting bits about the article was their memory allocation scheme. Each game frame they'd allocate a single huge memory pool and then allocate from it by simply incrementing a pointer into the pool. I think this is what you describe as a slab allocator, because they never free()'d their allocations, they just recycled the pool after each frame had been rendered.

I kindof see slab allocator as a happy middle ground between allocating temporary memory from the stack and full-blown free-list allocator (or whatever your classic malloc implementation is.)

Are there any high level languages that have the ability to provision fast memory allocation pools like a slab where garbage collection occurs when the slab is no longer accessible, for instance?

Facebook apparently already had a fix ready for fake news, but didn't implement it because it disproportionately affected right-wing news sites, and they were afraid of backlash:

http://www.gizmodo.com/facebooks-fight-against-fake-news-was...

This got me thinking. I'm center-leftish, but I'd like to think open minded. To me, the results FB saw are correct - from Birtherism, Obama being a Muslim, Sandy Hook trutherism, all the way to Democrats using the voting records of dead people to swing the election, the false conspiracy pedalling news stories I've seen have been overwhelmingly on the right. (note that I am not saying all right-wing people believe these things, just that most of the people who do are right-wing)

But am I wrong? I'm constantly aware that Facebook puts me in a filter bubble. Does anyone have any good examples of left-leaning fake, conspiratorial news stories in the last few years?
Opening an audio device and starting recording should take less than a few hundred milliseconds.

Shazam may be looking backward in time to build its fingerprint, so it would need to buffer some audio first.

Agreed, but that's an if; there's no reason to assume anything. And the next scmuck also doesn't need to spend most his time struggling to find a combination of dependencies that still kind of work. There are advantages to owning your code.
An oldie which I saw many times. BTW, I only more recently realized why the latter couple is in such a hurry to take their child out of the back seat: it's the gunpowder smoke in the car after the airbags have deployed. The smell is quite strong and you could think the car is burning.
All of you are complaining about fake news, but what about omitted news?

What's the point in having a news source which presents only/mostly true news, the same time ignoring huge amount of those ones which do not fit their political line?

This will result in people having a false image of an overall situation, exactly the same as fake news will.

Moreover, I think news omitting is the root cause of fake news problem. People see certain events happen around them. They know these events are true because they see them with their own eyes. But they do not see reports on these events in mass media. The same time alternative and partisan media report these events, people see them on their FB timelines. So they redirect their trust towards these media and FB. If this schema repeats for years, they can trust these media so much that they can accept fake and unbelievable stories (which are also naturally more likely to appear in partisan media). And refuting these stories by mass media makes them even more sound in their eyes, especially if they once saw these media refuting stories which were real.

And this applies to both sides.
Can we please stop using the word "paranoid" with respect to security? Security doesn't happen by passing the responsibility back onto the user. I don't care if the actual task is "easy" (a subjective term); by judging levels of "paranoia", you are saying everyone should have to make a value judgment about the value of the data on their device, the probability that the store employee will attempt to abuse his or her position, and have enough education in the field of computer security to even begin evaluating the "value" of data.

The entire point of this article was that Apple shouldn't be requiring bad practices that require either teaching bad lessons or preexisting technical knowledge about the existence of and need for a workaround.

A good example of a similar principle are the modern rules for gun safety[1]. One rule is to never put your finger anywhere near the trigger area until just before you intend to fire. Nobody should be judging if a gun is safe, because accidents happen when someone makes an incorrect assumption or mistake. Instead, anybody handling firearms should be in the habit of following basic safety rules. Safety - aka "security" - happens by minimizing risk, and the way to get the average person to minimize risk is either by making failure modes impossible, or by teaching and encouraging good habits.
