9 - I love it, it's my passion. Programmer by day, programmer by night. Not a 10 because I struggle trying to enjoy life in alternative ways. Not that I haven't found other ways to enjoy life but it's harder to me to get out and make friends out of nothing vs staying in front of the computer.
Are single-quotes allowed in the spec?

There is an explicit call out for "double quote == bad", but single quotes are also valid property delimeters in HTML.
it's true, but when you figure it out, you wouldn't have it any other way. I remember how much I hated the UI, but like with any tool the more you use the better you get at it.

For example, I find the left/right mouse buttons completely natural now.
Actually shamsmall (in the thread) shows the it is a compiler bug, because their compiler does reject it any compile time.

Just as an implementation note, one way to maintain compatibility with older devices while allowing modern ones to use better levels of security is to use haproxy on the front end. This can handle TLS/SSL itself or hand over to the correct SSL backend depending on the connecting device.
What loads faster than straightforward clean basic HTML? The answer to speed issues is dialling back on fancypants javascript, not buying into corporate giants' content vaults. IMHO, obviously.
Your definition of fascism is totally inadequate. Here, try reading Umberto Eco on the subject: he grew up under Italian fascism, and has some insights: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/
"pretty old" is an embellishment in this case. They run the OLDEST nuclear reactor of the world.

To repeat it, one of the richest countries of the world runs the oldest nuclear reactor in the middle of central Europe. If this one blows up Switzerland and Southern Germany is toast forever. There will be no lucky wind directions.

And it doesn't help that the Swiss don't have a independent regulating authority for nuclear energy.
Even without full-blown reflection, the problem is that you don't have an "is instance of" operation for unerased types. Which is crucial to case/match as used in Scala and functional programming in general.
>Are there build optimizations for E3/V5 vs E5/V2 that could make such a difference?

Potentially, yes.

Either way you're not comparing apples to apples using packages from a 3rd party repo built for a different system.

Newer processors have different instruction sets (AVX is a big one). You'd want to make sure you're not only compiling it on each different platform, but also using a new enough compiler to support the instruction sets.
I'm honestly not sure, good question though.

I guess it's difficult to test, would also be interested to know if somebody has tested the different versions against each other.
I came up with a phrase: "The internet litmus"
Sorry but this reply is just kind of vacuous given the link I posted. Eric Lippert gives a pretty detailed, neutral, blow by blow summary of the issues working with js at scale. And he quite specifically says that dynamic typing is not intrinsically the problem, just that dynamic typing tends to be correlated with other things that are a problem. He specifically mentions things like error handling. Did you even read the link?

I think your attitude is more that nothing is really bad with js relative to other languages, more so than actually trying to understand why it draws a lot of criticism, which is what you claimed and what I tried to link to.
I did. Keep reading.
They don't currently - they use Stripe for card handling. Ideally they should probably be using Stripe's own recurring payment feature rather than storing card numbers themselves.
Here's my reply to another comment about the keyboard: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13051133
This really reminds me of this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12769385
Pixar had started well before Jobs entered the picture. His role in Pixar was of a mercurial money-man who constantly threatened to shut down the whole operation, and almost killed the studio on the verge of their big break because he couldn't stand the thought of giving out shares to all workers they had been promised to. Not much of a help, more like a hindrance who was tolerated because of the money he brought to the table.

He certainly did great at Apple but Pixar succeeded despite him rather than thanks to him.
Thanks for the post as well. As you can imagine it takes a lot of effort, but is definitely very rewarding as you gain a lot of valuable world perspective. :)
The UI seems to only accept credit cards
Do you have a spec reference for that (not trying to be a dick - i just want to understand what the type system believes it should be doing here as the value being assigned to a reference should not influence the type system behaviour)
I guess my point was I don't think you can leverage it. The algorithm will just hide stuff that doesn't fit Facebook's agenda.
This is pseudoscientific crap. Mathematics does not concern itself with physical reality.
Much less so than Trump. HRC also had much less coverage overall than Trump.
What is freedom of information if countries can decide on their own whether they will release their answers on not ? It is disappointing that rebuttals to information requests do not have to go through any judicial system.
I bought an ANOVA 18 months ago and two more people have bought one after eating food from mine.

We all use ours several times a week. It turns out so good and so consistent, I basically use it for all beef, chicken, pork, and lamb.

The effects of added sugars on various chronic conditions are highly controversial. Some investigators have argued that added sugars increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, few randomized controlled trials are available to support these assertions. The literature is further complicated by animal studies, as well as studies which compare pure fructose to pure glucose (neither of which is consumed to any appreciable degree in the human diet) and studies where large doses of added sugars beyond normal levels of human consumption have been administered. Various scientific and public health organizations have offered disparate recommendations for upper limits of added sugar. In this article, we will review recent randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies. We conclude that the normal added sugars in the human diet (for example, sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup and isoglucose) when consumed within the normal range of normal human consumption or substituted isoenergetically for other carbohydrates, do not appear to cause a unique risk of obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
There's something that never seems to be mentioned in articles on making decisions for planet colonisation based on cosmic radiation: humanity is already trying like crazy to defeat cancer, for the obvious reason that it kills people here on Earth as well.

It might sound utopian to suggest that one day we'll just take our anti-cancer pills and not worry about it, but when we're talking colonisation potentially a couple of hundred years ahead, it shouldn't be discounted.

(The point in this article about damage to brain tissue is interesting, but again, that's not something that medical research here on Earth will be neglecting).
What a horrible article.

You start labeling people as crazy and stupid ("That’s why the crazies are not going away. Maybe Trump won’t win. The UK might even reverse Brexit.") and you preclude all hopes of reasonable dialogue.

This is definitely a case of somebody with an axe to grind and the war boogeyman to scare people into doing what "smart" people want to do.
Care to explain why? Are you saying that immutable app states such as React/Redux shouldn't exist either? No wonder you got downvoted, just giving rants without proper arguments.

I do. Plasma nailed down multi-monitor setup in 5.8.x. Before that it was significantly worse.

For different DPI on each monitor you'd need to use Wayland though.
Ask HN: Are most engineers here front-end devs?
Whenever there is discussion about software developers, the most is consumed with javascript, RoR and alike platforms. Are most people here front-end developers?

Does any one work on Data Engineering/ Data Warehousing/ETL/Reporting/Analytics platform?

I don't have any knowledge about front-end (classic CS!). I am 31 now. I don't know if I should spend time learning front-end development or not. My goal is to create side projects.
Should I outsource front-end development and focus on backend and business development or should I learn front-end development?

What do you think is best strategy for quick results and monetization ?
I hadn't heard of Hammerspoon before your reply, but man I'm glad you posted. This nails a need of mine and looks very useful overall. Thanks!
[continued..] You can't generalize, but you can assume. Quite likely many Thinkpads use the same piece of code to handle firmware password-checking. Once the code is changed, it'll likely propagate (slowly) inside the company to all of the new (or firmware-updated) laptops.

That being said, it's likely the firmware's failsafe-mechanism kicking in when it cannot access the memory chip that stores the password (because access to the chip is hindered).

Yet utilizing the "WP" (write protect) pin on the memory chip ought to do nothing in my opinion - unless the firmware tries to store something to the memory at boot time (which is entirely possible). On the other hand, forcing clock or data pins to ground - in effect disallowing any signalling via them - should be a sureproof way to force the firmware to trigger it's failsafe mechanism.
There is a ton of evidence that as extremely poor people get richer they have less kids. People who earn less than $1 per day have more than 5 times as many children on average as people in first world countries

Yes. Password leaks, bruteforcing, and some "rubber hose" attacks can be mitigated by 2FA.
How can a company with cash reserves as large as several nations "not have engineering resources"?

They don't want to get engineering resources on par with competitors, for whatever reason.
Great article. I wonder what the performance implications would be vs using, for example, native (mutable) arrays. Such addition of analysis to the article would've made it just perfect.

@alexhayes it is a common color palette, I was going to link the most common place where I find it but I forgot about it, haha.

You said it's because of a mix-up when reading documentation, but you said nothing about /why/ changing the write-protect pin's state should work - or why tying clock and data pins together should not.
I do not ever intend to stop using my Anova. But in terms of going main stream, I feel like it is already or it is not and the ship has sailed.

I bought my Bluetooth(rarely use that part, just set and walk away) cooker for $125 over a year ago. Why would this competitor make it go mainstream.

I am all for more consumer options, but how is this different/better?
2 other areas for Apple to boost SW: AppStore backend seems inflexible to change (why can't I buy AppleTV apps from iPhone?). And Siri is going downhill with each iOS releases (I think should be the competitors are gaining much more with each iOS releases).
No it wouldn't. Not at all.
Yup, we use Stripe and their subscriptions with their payment method storage.

We do not accept PayPal in the interface, but will accept payments for yearly plans on individual basis. So if you wish to use PayPal, please just get in touch for now.
I use my sous vide machine around 3 times a week (I bought it about a year ago). For most preparations, sous vide is not more convenient than conventional cookery–the long cook times are almost never worth it.

But convenience is not the benefit; with sous vide I can prepare expensive steaks without risk of ruining them (in fact without risk of falling short of perfection). Were I Daniel Boulud, I would not have much need for it, but as a mere mortal, I imagine I will continue to love sous vide.
A sound type system is one that prevents illegal operations. Using a null reference is an illegal operation, and Java doesn't prevent this. Hasn't Java's type system been unsound all along?

The real answer is a 3d camera. That way you can actually make eye contact and interact much more realistically. Fortunately the apple patent doesn't seem to apply.
Really wish you could give a display name for an alias in the UI so you can use more random aliases for services and still know easily where it belongs

They're as meaningless as the American versions, only randomly ensnaring companies that sell to a doubleplus ungood entity. They don't do anything to stem the flow of crypto information or open source software to all parts of the globe.

And that NIST thing happened possibly once. It's not a common ongoing occurrence.
It's a PWR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beznau_Nuclear_Power_Plant#Tec...

A PWR isn't going to "blow up" when it gets too old, or at all really. Chernobyl, the only large-scale plant to ever actually blow up, had a crazy dangerous design compared to any of these older reactors (and you're not kidding about them being old, they are seven years older than Chernobyl).
TLDR: We always knew null'a could float around and cause NPEs, but many assumed they couldn't convince the compiler to unsafely convert, e.g., a String to an Integer. However, since null can inhabit any type, we can use null as a proof of any proposition, for example that there exists some super type of Integer which is a subtype of String. Of course, if such a type exists we should be able to traffic an Integer to a String.

The example on the page is pretty straightforward. I encourage everyone to reason it out.
Can you tweet me at @everythingdotio ? Might be able to open source this for you.
"There is also something else I notice: some people will decide they will not understand you because you look/are foreign no matter how hard you try or even if you don't make not many mistakes. There is a famous video about that[1] but this is not limited to Japan, I also saw it in France too with foreigners trying to speak French."

I have encountered this as well. It also happens more frequently from foreigners who have learned English (perhaps even better than your studying of language X) and they just don't want to talk to you in their language.

Fortunately, most people are not like this, and from my experience of both Japanese/Chinese people, they are very open to communicate with you in their language.

With the only exception being that you have to speak a bit more Chinese before English speaking Chinese people will agree to speak Chinese regularly with you, versus Japanese where they will speak Japanese to you from almost day one if you want. (which is a blessing and problem since you won't understand much) haha

Yeah, that's something I've had in the back of my head...one of the reasons I've been super restrictive about image uploading.

I'm counting myself lucky that I'm getting such a positive response on HN.
If we limit her statement to the white nationalists of the world it is hard to argue with the idea that these people aren't irredeemable. It isn't even about morality, whiteness viewed in the purist supremacist vein can't continue to exist. You would need a purity rate of 100% which is utterly asinine. The only hope is genocide which would lead to a nuclear war ultimately killing all the white people as well. It is in this context that you can see that these are pointless people to actually have passion in their illusory hopeless supremacy.

To have passion in that viewpoint when simple logic can refute it is pretty desperate, pointless, and ultimately irredeemable.
Note taken! Thank you!
I'm not using the WP pin, I'm using the PROT pin. It forces the EEPROM to behave differently, because it signals it does not have a good power state. The EEPROM can be 'read', but the data it hands back is different. You can go read the spec sheets for the EEPROMs in question. You have the part numbers.

But I was more interested in the end-to-end test, as I expected others reading would also be:

SDL to SDA (the usual instructions given elsewhere) only works on some models.

PROT to GND appears to work on all. In my collection of ~ 30 machines, it works on all the models SCL to SDA does, as well as all the models SCL to SDA does not.

PROT to GND was the original hack as discovered around the time of the T20.
What is this distinction between a brand and where the goods are shipped from? The profit from those sales are booked to a Swedish company.

From a very recent article - July 4th of this year:

'IKEA Group Chief Executive Peter Agnefjall said the push was due to customers increasingly demanding more durable products.

"Customers expect us to do more (on quality). And nowadays you can't really make products that are throwaway: when you buy a sofa table it needs to be built to last," he told Reuters.'

I mean there you have a C-level Ikea officer admitting there's an issue. What more do you need?

OR of 1.25 is what, 15% attributable risk? Without any ground for causality either. I agree that it is really hard to draw any conclusion from this meta-analysis.

Can it work with a high dpi laptop monitor? I want to put Linux on an old MacBook Pro Retina but it appears that large parts of the interface are still hard coded for certain resolutions. Also read that battery life will take a big hit.
While I was downvoted, 12 hours later Reddit managed to post a much more accurate title (which made its front page). This is Reddit's title:

>Low-calorie sweetener use is independently associated with heavier relative weight, larger waist, and higher prevalence and incidence of abdominal obesity, suggesting that low-calorie sweetener use may not be an effective means of weight control, based on a study of 1,454 participants over 10 years.

This makes total sense to me. It is not fair to summarize this as "prevents weight loss."
Do you have a written citation for that, something from Out-Law.com (or equivalent), or from a qualified solicitor or barrister, which backs up the "I've heard..." up a little?

Not trying to be a hard ass, but I don't think HN benefits from people spreading "legal facts" (c.f. indefinite imprisonment) with an authoritative written tone but without citing legal precedent, or a detailed analysis of the statute in question.

I'm not a lawyer but I imagine if you were taken in front of the same Magistrate's Court or Crown Court, refused to decrypt the _same_ data a second time, were convicted under RIPA, sentenced, you'd have a damn good argument at appeal and it would very likely be quashed. IANAL.

To put more substance behind this opinion, we can look at the Sentencing Council, which when drawing up sentencing guidance, frequently uses the term "fair and proportionate" [1] which is something of a cornerstone remark about how the judiciary should go about dealing with infractions of the law. Reasonable humans would say going to prison twice for the same thing is neither fair, nor proportionate.

On a side note, I always try to remember that happiness is a choice. Simply try. It takes some work.
I also said 'SCL to SDA does not work everywhere, whereas in testing, PROT to GND does'.

PROT is not the WP pin. They're different. Go read the spec sheets.

The original hack as discovered was PROT to GND, not SCL to SDA. My only speculation was as to why the hack as reposted changed over time.
ENSI is Switzerland's independent regulatory supervisory authority for nuclear safety and for the security of nuclear installations since 1 January 2009. This satisfies the requirement for the independence of the regulatory body as stipulated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Windows is closed-source and edited by an American company, so I think there are security implications beyond the number of vulnerabilities that have historically been found.
Yes, it can. Plasma 4 wasn't really suitable for it, but Plasma 5 is OK. Can't say much about battery life - it can differ a lot depending on the laptop and how well various power features of the chipset are documented. A lot of time Intel for example are pretty sloppy and don't document things like that, so there isn't much Linux developers can do.

mjg59 wrote a number of comments on this subject.
For comparison, the minimum amount of RAM required by the precursor of Mac OS, NeXT, - 32MB (that's megabytes) - seemed insane. But then again, 90% of the computer science - including experiments in AI - had been done (at least, up until mid-80s) on computers that had less than 1 megabyte of RAM. (IIRC, the first version of UNIX was designed to run on a computer with 24 kilobytes of RAM.)
