> The trick is trying to figure out where to spend your limited resources as the project is going.

In a situation such as this where you don't have the funds to test everything to the level you would like and the cost of a failure is large, I wonder if a reasonable compromise is to hire a smallish team of 'adversaries'. I.e. their full time job is to try and find issues with other people's work; and to ask what could go wrong, or, what is likely to to go wrong - let's go see if we can break that.

I also find the idea of a risk register useful. I.e. during development you'll often have thoughts about whether particular edge cases are truly being handled properly, but often the day to day cost versus benefit decisions mean you can't explore all of these issues. If however you log them then this can serve as a source of ideas for an adversarial team, or indeed your own investigations if you happen to have bits of free time for testing.

In what language do we input code as HOAS, and target that representation with macros?

(Can't we expand macros in a conventional representation with symbols and environments and then go to HOAS?)

(It's not news that macros are weak in some sense; I mean you can shoot yourself in the foot with the classic non-hygienic ones; you can disrespect even the first order abstract syntax that you're working in: the macro can re-locate a piece of raw syntax which contains identifier references into the wrong scope where those references resolve otherwise.)

I installed the app and it created a 6-letter string as my “personal” key. It would be a trivial task to write a script that spams other people's key(s). Of course the sender cannot know if there is a reader at the other end, but neither can a spammer when they send a spam mail.

And they're all mediocre when compared to Vim/Emacs (and these are both inferior to Spacemacs which actually combines these two.)

Why isn't everyone using Spacemacs then?

Visual Studio is much, much slower than all of them yet its still an incredibly popular IDE for some reason. It has endless flaws, one of them being its still 32-bit and often crashes on larger projects. (The last game I ported to the PSVita would hang VS for minutes sometimes, often ending with out-of-memory errors, we'd reboot VS between every profiling session.)

For a good chunk of users, features and ease of use are more important than performance (especially when most of the time it really, really doesn't matter for an editor.)
It's nice to get a laptop form-factor with a 720p screen for less than $100, but it's worth noting that the specs are on-par with a 2-year old smartphone flagship. Given Allwinner's history of GPL skirmishes and backdooring, I'm also not too happy to see their CPU in this machine.

Sorry, but that is just wrong, Certain types of APIs are infeasible to provide, because mozilla is too time and resource constrained to invest major resources into spec'ing, implementing and maintaining "niche" APIs.

> just choosing electron won't make your users happier.

Ah thanks, I lost some clarity in a post-write edit. My point wasn't that choosing electron would do that, it was that we should look more at end-user satisfaction and less at often pedantic technical analyses of solutions.

Re: C++: You may be right, but we can't deny that popularity and cool factor has a significant effect on hard metrics--eg, more frameworks, more libs, more components == faster dev speed & iterations, which I think is a good thing. ex: Mac hasn't been "better for graphics" in over a decade, but the 'cool factor' has made it the de facto choice for designers, which has resulted in a bulk of the latest designer tools being Mac only (a problem which, coincidentally, electron & its ilk aim to solve).

Last: no, it wasn't a joke. I know what the article said. My point was that the point of socioeconomic accessibility was mentioned, as you note, in the last line, but for the most part, the supporting data were more asserted as intrinsically bad. If it was a key argument of the author's, I think the data would've been tied coherently to the conclusion instead of requiring a diligent reader such as yourself to farm & cobble them together into a patchwork argument.

So, if you'll forgive me for borrowing a little of your snark: next time you google a word, for instance, 'skirt', you should probably prefer the first definition ("go around, past the edge of") instead of the fourth definition, as you've done here.

To be clear, my thesis is, in tl;dr form: "Anything that makes reaching users in the environments they prefer easier is probably good, but the extent to which this trades off with accessibility is unclear to me."
> Why "of course"? Did you set it specifically so that it would be on the FP? It certainly wasn't within an hour of you writing that comment.

Yes, we set it specifically so that it would be on the front page. That was the point. And it was on the front page for hours after we did that.
> This is very true in the Windows world, if an app uses entirely native widgets it looks very meh.

Yes an no. Windows is very versatile when it comes to design. However, if you just drag-n-drop elements in Visual Studio[1] or Qt, you get that "ugly" windows app. You'll notice plenty of Microsoft's own designs (as part of the OS, or as external apps) that look very well and fit in with the rest of the OS. There are also a few gems from 3rd parties.

> On Mac you'll see many apps compromise their branded style to look more Mac-like in style.

I agree with this, but I also believe it's an "optical illusion" in the sense that the GUI isn't very Mac itself, but it just borrows some design conventions used by the OS to make it easier for the user to understand the application.

> Meanwhile on Linux most people use apps entirely fitted for their desktop environment, and then it's branded apps that look out of place.

As a full-time (or at least 99%) Linux user, I tend to disagree with this. I know what you mean and you're sometimes right, but it's not really that black and white. a GTK app on Qt/Plasma won't look that nice unless you go out of your way to make it look nice (which is usually a lot of work), and open another GTK app and realise it looks broken, so you need to add more tweaks, and then you open the third app and give up. Same goes for KDE/Qt apps on Gnome.

Because people don't know any better, shun anything that isn't their pet technology and generally sit on the wrong end of the Dunning-kruger effect.
I've always found the way people cheer on rising property values a little odd.

I totally agree, I'm just trying to understand the ramifications.
To be fair I don't implement all the mappers, but I'm pretty confident the core parts of the emulator (CPU and PPU) are as small as it gets.
You are both right, in a way. The main limitation on power delivery through a conductor is current (resistive losses/heat per Ohms law). To deliver more power through a smaller conductor requires raising the voltage, much as USB-C does, or the high-voltage transmission lines used for long-distance power delivery. But the challenges to deliver 2Ah (or let's call it 10Wh) in a few seconds to a phone are farcical, especially once taking into account the charge circuitry inside the phone.

You're totally right. Rising property values are a bad thing. As a society we shouldn't be spending resources on arbitrarily defined lines on land. We should be using that money to do things like funding scientific research, or rebuild infrastructure, not making some landlord rich.
CouchDB's changes feed predates Rethink, I'm not sure why it largely gets ignored. Couch is rock solid.

For graph DBs, I've found nothing easier to setup and more efficient than Arango. The team there is very receptive and determined too.

I'd love it if Arango had a changes feed, but realistically it's really easy to just pipe the data into a stream from whereever gets confirmed writes to the database. This is how I've always done it outside of Couch/Rethink. It helps decouple the stream from the db concept in case more data sources or sinks are added later (very common in my experience).
> That area of the code also explicitly had some protections provided by the language removed for the sake of efficiency

As far as I know the efficiency wasn't the issue, just that the "model" was, as I've said, brittle. The overflow was to be handled with what we'd today call "an exception handler" and the selected solution was, instead of (reasonably) writing "keep the maximum value as the result" handler, to leave the processor effectively executing random code in the case the overflow occurs. And the "exception" occured. It's not that the overflow detection was turned off to save the cycles, or that some default handling was provided. It was that it was handled with "whatever" (execute random instructions)! by intentionally omitting the handlers.
Well they could have a list of the properties without them all rendered and then render just the property they need when someone clicks on the property name.

And why should it render all examples on one page?

They could have a static page for every property so one could link to http://cssreference.io/align-content
instead of http://cssreference.io/#align-content
and get just that static page. That should be pretty quick, especially with long caching of all other resources than the actual page content.

There's lots of different ways to have done it without having to do it all at once.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I open/close my editors just as often as my file manager.

The main benefit of Electron is the community. Everybody knows HTML/CSS/JavaScript, so can write extensions / customisations. If I were Microsoft, that's how I would have justified Electron.

Still, I personally much prefer Sublime Text :-D

That is not a useful indicator. There's a reason that 'editor-wars' is a running joke.

But a user who was searching for a property with a particular name would presumably use Ctr-f/Cmd-f to search, rather than scrolling through the whole list to find it.
When I referred to "you", I kind of meant YC. Fair point, though.

I find all moderator actions inherently distasteful except in the cases of obvious trolling. In this case, though, it's particularly important that posts about i.e. censorship get their fair shake. The title you changed it to didn't really come from anywhere (Reddit comments don't have a title) and fails to convey exactly what's going on. Stepping in to change it like that reduces the weight of the title to the point of being meaningless to lots of people - I'm sure plenty of Reddit users don't even know who spez is.
I didn't notice the parent, sorry (see edit). However, the responsibility you have for commenting within the guidelines is independent of what you're replying to. We don't have permission to make bad threads even worse.
It was deadly serious. But the evidence is purely circumstantial. However, the more you dig the more data you find. From another comment of mine:

James Alefantis posts suggestive pictures of children on his Instagram AND He makes lewd comments about them AND Many of his friends do too AND Some of those friends are into weird things like making child-sized coffins AND There's FBI-confirmed pedophile codes and symbols everywhere AND Alefantis knows John Podesta WHO is into Spirit Cooking with Marina Abramovic AND Podesta hangs disturbing child abuse-style art on his wall AND He likes artists who produce disturbing images of abuse AND His emails have masonic images hidden in the attachments AS WELL AS Pictures of children with notes saying "Happy Birthday John" AND contacts of his mail him with messages promising "entertainment" from the young children in the pool AND He and his brother look EXACTLY like the photofits of two men who abducted Madeleine McCann in 2007 AND they were connected to the McCanns through a mutual friend who lived nearby AND ....

There's literally thousands of people digging and all they do is keep throwing up more connections and suggestions that there is a pedophile ring hiding in plain sight.
Oh, and also, I think that having consciousness is not an on or off switch, but a sliding scale. The more complex your brain is, the more "conscious" you are.

There's no reason for a brain of a dog or a mouse to not be able to observe/experience itself. It's model is probably simpler, but I bet it exists.

Like before you have learned how to code, your brain dedicated only a tiny amount of neurons to represent the concept of "programming", or "building a website". But as you gain experience, the model of this stuff becomes more complex. I imagine that brains that have less neurons can still recognize their own signals("be coonscious") , but their map of their brains would have a "smaller resolution".

----

As I grow older and learn things, I notice that I get better at "meta" thinking, that is having a map/model of my own thought processes. When I'm trying to figure something out, I'm also paying attention to the mental operations my brain goes through as it tries to figure something out.

The perfect example of it is writing fiction. When you begin learning to write, and are just trying to type a certain amount of words per day(to practice), you are doing it without any "self awareness", your brain generates words/ideas, and that's all there is to it, you don't know how.

But as you get better, and pay attention to what your brain does as you write, you develop a neural network that represents the process of writing, the operations your brain needs to go through to craft a story. Because in the case of writing fiction this model is complex, it is really easy to notice. Like I can feel the neural network in my brain that repressnts the programming concepts that I've learned, I can also feel the neural network that represents mental operations I need to go through to generate a story.

Good writers have a more complex and "correct" map of mental processes they need, so they can competently craft stories any time they want. But you can also learn to write well without "meta" thinking. Then your brain just strengthens the correct mental pathways as you practice(without "meta" thinking), so you can be good at writing without understanding how.

I think that this is a really cool example, where you can directly experience a brain building a map of itself and then using it.
Thanks ufo, that's the point I was trying to make.

Some experiences:

a) Copying HN links doesn't work. All you get in the clipboard is "/item".

b) Google Drive is utterly unusable.

c) Facebook is mildly unusable. Rendering gets easily messed up.

d) No password management.

But these are fairly minor, I'm happy to use a secondary browser for them.
Even if the app is smaller on drive, it still takes ~200mb in ram for even the smallest apps.
I think this is a good guide for brushing up css knowledge before interviews.

Their strategy...

TL;DR: They dig in like ticks with marketing folks and saddle everyone else with dated and inefficient tools. The make integrations next to impossible, exports messy, and seemingly strive to fracture teams by providing duplicate services to tools like Slack, Asana, JIRA, GitHub... etc... that all do everything Basecamp does, but better, AND also offer integrations so all your teams can play nice and work seamlessly. Basecamp is cancer. I'd be surprised if they're still around in 10 years if they don't open their platform up and make it easy to swap components in and out of their closed system.

If a team already has Slack, or Skype, or Flowdock, or HipChat, or Fleep... or any of the other 200 chat tools... now with one instance of Basecamp introduce to a team they also have to check that system for messages from the one team that uses Basecamp in their company. Not even sure you can turn that feature off... but it's inefficient to not have integrations. "One-solution-fits-all" is dead, open APIs and modular tools lead to happy teams.
Well, duh doi. What I mean is that the introduction gave me the epiphany related to the concept I'm talking about, and if you're not ready to commit a ton of time to reading the whole book, you should still read the intro, because it explains a lot of awesome things related to the OP's post.

But you're right, the whole book does contain more information than it's first few pages. No shit.
>diamonds' only purpose as jewelry is to show you spent a lot money on them

I wouldn't say that is their only reason. They are also very eye-catching and can be used to accentuate certain features. Their hardness makes their luster and shine outlast other jewelry too.

That isn't to say that diamonds are worth their price, just that the do serve a purpose from a fashion standpoint besides for signaling wealth.
The real problem right now is if you say anything that identifies you as being in someone's [Wrong side], they will attack your livelihood and send you death threats and tell you you're voting for Hitler (yes, many on the right saw Hillary as Hitler, so this works both directions).

We have a society that has been taught:

0) Truth is bad, honesty is a sin
1) Intellectualism is bad
2) Your feelings are as valid as facts
3) [Wrong side] are actually evil
4) [Wrong think] is as bad as murder/rape
5) Do whatever is required given the above

Lawlessness, riots, class struggle, fake news. It all seems a logical extension of what we're being taught.

Point 0 above might seem a little odd to you. So ask yourself: what is the dominant mode of communication in society today? Get up, walk around, observe who is telling you what. Remember, billboards, magazines, TV, salesmen, politicians all count.

Also, ask yourself how long anyone's political career (or even just regular old career) would last if they were honest and truthful 100% of the time?
This has nothing to do with decentralization or giving people any advantages.

As someone who used to admin/moderate a medium-large forum for over five years, let me voice my strong disagreement. It's taking the easy route.

You're really only punishing those who aren't clever enough to (trivially) detect or circumvent a shadow-ban. And those are actually exactly the people that you didn't need to resort to shadow-banning for in the first place. And there's no excuse for that (I'd like to hear, why would stupid people be more deserving of punishment?).

Another important task was keeping ourselves, the mod-team in check, keeping tabs on each other (because emotions), to not abuse their powers like this, taking the easy way.

Part of that was setting stone-hard rules that were never, ever, to be broken. Obviously, one of those rules was "don't ever edit someone else's post without attribution". We were sure to drill in that rule, calling it out even if it was a "friendly" or helpful edit--partially for the principle of it, but also because not attributing friendly edits still erodes trust.

Oh and if moderating a single troll costs ten times the effort they put in, you probably need to upgrade your mod tools.
