> The kernel has no way to know that it should prioritize the terminal you are trying to open to kill things rather than try its hardest to keep the offending application running.

This is one of the problems multitask OS's were invented to solve. The answer is always let other tasks run too.
You're on the front page of HN. I'd improve your sign-up flow ASAP if I were you.
JS admits that ... is two operators ("spread" and "rest"), but that they are essential related/cousins (dual in mathematics terminology) and it works well for both of them to look the same.

Rest is the variadic case:

function myFunction(a, b, ...rest) {
}

But rest can also be used for destructuring, such as:

let [a, b, ...rest] = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

Or

let { a, b, ...rest } = { a: 'a', b: 'b', c: 'c', d: 'd' }

In this case it's a extra-bang-for-the-buck expansion of variadic parameters into something more generally useful: tearing apart lists (and now objects). From that light, spread is the "structuring" side of rest, in the left-hand/right-hand world of destructuring/structuring.

The most common Indian bread, the roti, is not a foam. It's a very flat bread made of wheat flour and water with no internal structure.
Any plans to provide mercurial? Is too hard?

I haven't looked at all those stories but I don't doubt you're right about most of them and definitely do see it. FWIW, for years I was the loudest advocate on HN for keeping some politics on-topic despite the site guidelines declaring most off-topic, and regularly made many of the same arguments people have been making over the last few days. I'd be making them right now myself if I weren't a moderator.

It's indeed the case that politics is inseparable from many clearly on-topic-here things and that it's impossible to define "politics" in a way that would justify banning it outright. I told pg that very thing when he was training me to do moderation here, and he agreed. Questions around this have come up so often, though, that proposing one experimental week off from politics, just to see what we could learn, seemed worth trying. And we've already learned quite a few things, one of which is just how inseparable the political dimensions of these stories really are.
While you make a fair point, he does not have schizophrenia. He has dissociative identity disorder (also known as multiple personalities).
> I was asking about the native languages themselves and their typesystems, not the compile-to-js versions of those languages.

Are they different? If language X can be expressed in its entirety as language Y then we can speak about X and Y interchangeably -- that's literally the point: full interop between client and server.

Anyway, there's a world of difference between TS and GHCJS, Scala.js, Clojurescript, Js_of_ocaml, etc. One speaks javascript, the others speak both.

As for reliability, in so far as TS is typed it will provide the compile time guarantees that its type system provides; not surprisingly the same goes for Scala.js, GHCJS, etc.

So, the decision point probably hinges more on aforementioned overhead, size of community, and tooling than language/type system features/power. If it were otherwise we'd have seen a huge uptick by now wrt adoption rates for the compile-to-js languages. Maybe that will change in future but for now the big players drive the javascript bus...
Amazon: Transitioning items from a materials handling facility
There's probably a general cultural or sociological alignment to such openness you could identify in an area but the best chances are likely where the demand simply outstrips the supply enough that companies will be more flexible in their hiring.

Personally, I have zero degrees and no formal education in ANYTHING, not to mention a general distaste for traditional classroom training in general, yet starting with a graphic design job that fell in my lap in 1998 (it's who you know...), I've simply developed my skills "organically" (?) and parlayed each position into the next, having worked as a web developer (at loosely-run non-profits and for very traditionally-structured government contractors), UX architect (at a very well-known company/domain name provider), UI developer (financial institution), and now as software engineer building web apps for a very narrow vertical market.

While my first "real" office job was Southern California (in an inland bedroom community 1 hour north of San Diego), the bulk of my career has spanned 2 geographic areas: Phoenix and Denver (mostly the suburbs, at that.) Relocating to both did entail factoring in the availability of relevant jobs but was more about what I wanted for my life at the time the decision was made.

It's highly unlikely I'd ever be a strong candidate for a Silicon Valley-type company or a startup, which is fine wth me since I'm a work-to-live type temperament and have never been the "work hard, play hard" type. But I also have a seemingly natural desire to be a good employee & coworker and like to be proud of the quality of work I do. Some of that might be a result of the "leadership development" that was unofficially required in my first job.

The foundations for my career are only based in teenage dabbling in software (coding BASIC on a TRS-80 in the early 90s, reverse engineering the HTML in webpages to build my own in the mid-90s) and a general technical bent overlaid with creative tendencies. Having a nearly insatiable thirst for knowledge probably helps too...

Under what section in your resume do you put your side projects? Is it under Work Experience?
So roti isn't bread? That's a strange definition.
I've submitted this because I was actually the one to build the VR app for Legend3D. This is really exciting. It's really weird to see something I made show up in a big news outlet.

I built a WebVR app for them, so it deploys through your standard browser on your smartphone with a Google Cardboard, Samsung GearVR, or a Google Daydream. Pretty soon, Google and Mozilla will have bindings for your Oculus Rift or HTC Vive built into the browser you already have.

It's built with my open-source WebVR framework, Primrose: https://www.primrosevr.com
so you charged right away ?
More like fear is not present when they make that decision for "future me", and is present when making that decision for "present me".
Some comments miss the point. I don't think it's a suggestion that x86 has too much documentation or too much transistors. It just gives a picture in to how the hardware exploded in capacity, complexity and so on. Which is great (though obviously comes with a cost).
Your company is interesting. I probably won't try it personally because I'm self-employed working as an independent contractor, so most of the benefits don't really apply. Admittedly, I'm in the minority in this case though.
Is a Blockchain Token a Security?
Tikka masala was one of the dishes I had in mind. However, it still doesn't seem right to call it British. The culinary heritage of the dish is Bangladeshi (I believe the people who invented it were from Bangladesh, feel free to correct me), they just built on that heritage with a dish for the clientele they had at the time.

Similar questions can be raised about the kebab, whether its Turkish and/or German. Is the nationality of the originating chefs more or less important than the nationality of the audience they're trying to please?
Naan while being common in restaurants, is not common in households. It requires a specialized oven and isn't easy to make at home. Roti/Chappati/Parathas are the common ones. There are regional differences too - Naans are uncommon in South Indian restaurants. The staple one in this category in Kerala is a Barotta which is a flaky bread similar to the Thai rotis.
I believe the instructions were "when in doubt, flag," and this is clearly a political story.
I wouldn't count on this. My wife and I got a mortgage through our local bank which has two branches, both in towns under 40,000 people, and the loan was sold to Fanny Mae and their ilk before the ink had dried on the closing papers.

They were up front about it, which I appreciated, but it goes to show that using a small town bank does not guarantee your loan will stay local.
dude this is hella crazy nice yo. gonna use this for my next landing page
Interesting choices, I would definitely be interested in checking out the code behind it.
Seems a bit odd to change to a substantially different blog article; bigger strategy is important, but the original article focused more on the decision to stop exchanging Bitcoin, which is bigger IMHO than their other initiatives.

No plans to support Mercurial, it would complicate development a lot. Plus it would be a second-rate citizen and that wouldn't be very nice of us.
Not sure about that one, seems like an inverse law to me, computer games used to come with big booklets with documentation and backstory, now nothing (other than user made wikis of course).

Or a mobile dumbphone came with a manual explaining all the menus and options. Now the only paperwork with a smartphone is legal and warranty.
Well, a lot of the examples you give deal with technological development, which is different from science as such. For example, as soon as radio was invented, it was obvious that transmitting pictures was the next thing to do, and lots of people went to work on trying to do that. And powered flight was an obvious extension of work on gliders and was likewise very competitive (to the point that some Europeans doubt the Wright brothers' priority to this day).

But groundbreaking science is different. There the next step isn't obvious. While Einstein certainly benefited from the work of previous scientists like Poincaré and Lorentz, it wasn't as if there was a "race" to discover relativity like there was for TV (or CRISPR-Cas in human cells).
I personally would love to run this on a local server to fiddle around with. It is seriously fun, and looks like a great fit for a total newbie like me that just wants to mess around.
> large, open questions on basic stuff.

I've commented on this subject before[0], I think the past few years of web development has largely been about answering basic questions. Now there are well tested answers to those questions. I'm sure people will still reinvent these wheels, but now you don't have to when working on a large project.

Babel, Webpack et al are more useful when you're building a web-app, something generally comparable to a native app. The toolchain is complex, sure, but no more complex than what xcode or Android Studio do for you. I think the difference is that this has been a community effort, rather than a corporation assembling a product, so a) there are more people sharing opinions and b) the disagreements and exploration has been more public.

While it might feel like the fancy unicode operators are encouraged in documentation or posts about Perl6, every fancy unicode has a corresponding operator in simple ASCII. The operator in question earlier in this thread '∈' is the same as using '(elem)' (including the parens). So '42 (elem) (12 42 56)' is the same as '42 ∈ (12 42 56)'.

No need for new keycaps :)
Could instructions be added to the site? I was going to add a top level comment to say "Why does every image include the launchaco name?"
mahmoud lacoste
Ideally, there's a difference. I just got an offer accepted on a house (yay!) that has an actual office. There's a tiny little foyer leading from the door to the main office space, the office itself would be too narrow to comfortably fit a bed, plus a space to walk around the bed, and there are four large windows in the relatively small room, and the sills of the windows dip down below where a bed would meet the wall.

I mean, you walk into it, and it's clearly not a bedroom. But, hey, throw in some bookshelves and a desk and you have a stereotypical office!

My parents also had a "study" (the house was built pre-internet, when people had studies) I actually used it as a bedroom as a teenager, but there were a couple things that separated it from a "bedroom" There were floor to ceiling built in bookshelves all along a large wall, but there was no closet. There was also a phone jack, which was a feature none of the other bedrooms had. The room was also sort of oddly shaped, with no clear place to put a bed without it blocking some of the floor to ceiling bookshelves.

So, yeah, there are some things, but, in many cases, they could be used interchangeably. I'm using a second bedroom as an office right now, and it's basically just a big office with a closet!
I think you're missing the point. It's not really about bonds.

A proportion of the sheltered money used to buy government bonds "should" have been tax proceeds, rather than forcing the government issue debt and pay to borrow that money.
Also, given how many political stories aren't getting flagged and are getting a lot of discussion, how oblivious a lot of people here seem to be to the political dimensions of their work and hobbies?
Ok, understood. Just trying to get a sense of what's permitted.
Somebody needs to come up with a law that correlates the size of a processor's documentation to the number of transistors on that processor.
There is no reason for anyone take GNU manfiesto and modify it unless thy want to ride on Stallman's opinon.

If someone can't write their own manifesto without copy pasting, they probably should not write manifesto. There is no value or reason to modify opinion works.
Yeah, well, unfortunately, you'd be wrong for thinking it's bogus. I've actually been verbally attacked for adjusting my swimwear on a beach in Mexico (an empty beach, mind you, that had all 6 American adults on it -- 4 of them being myself and my group).
Interesting points. Good ideas for features I would like, and laid out in a way that makes me want to contribute.
Please. The guy depicted in the movie has nothing from a Hacker.

He's just a dude suffering from schizophrenia. Hackers, for starters, are playing in the autism-asperger spectrum.

They're utterly opposite and incompatible psychological traits.
> but it's an attitude that's pervasive of the Hindu Right anyway

I haven't seen that attitude at all. Even the worst among Shiv Sainiks seem to consider vada pau their traditional dish. As for naan, the Indians I know consider it Punjabi, and traditionally made in a tandoor oven. Looking at it from another point of view, potato, tomato and chili are now considered inseparable from Indian cuisine. And yet, naan apparently came to India long before these vegetables did.
I think a sociologist could write a thesis on the never ending argument of how a resume "should" look.

Anyway I put them under "projects," right next to a couple company projects. The projects section is structured very similarly to the "work" section.

I know you work at Brightcove; are you involved with Circle at all? (for the benefit of others, both have same founder) Personally I think all of Circle's initiatives combined are less of a story than the decision to stop trading Bitcoin.
To show complexity of x86-64 it is best to look at boot process. You processor starts in 16bit mode, then is upgraded to 32bit and then to 64bit mode. You want to do some call to BIOS now? You have to downgrade through 32bit mode to 16 bit mode to do that and then back up to handle the response.

And it is just very small component of cruft that x86-64 has.
wish they'd matched linode. Oh wait they have poor performance, never mind...though actually the bandwidth might be useful cost-wise still, relative to "normal" AWS bandwidth costs at least, until you reach the max, then apparently it's $0.09/GB, whereas DO is $0.02 per GB for overage (and I think they don't actually charge for it yet even LOL).

digitalocean is being attacked on all sides, interesting.
Hard to believe that giant AWS is trying to imitate one of its upstart competitors...

Definitely. As a dominant platform owner they can push everyone to bend over backwards all the time. And they will since any fab and power savings will be totally worth it for the user, even if they marginal.

Use alphabet to write this comment!
Driving a car has largely been democratized, yet most of the car driving research is done by highly credentialed phd scientists working for rich american tech companies.

Although it may sound like one, I honestly don't intend this as a strawman, but as a, "I pretty much ALWAYS expect research to occur in that way." I pessimistically think most very deep fields that require significant domain background are largely out of reach of "citizen scientists" nowadays.

But even by the standard of doing research, I'm a rather uneducated (by the standards of a PHD AI researcher) programmer who has given multiple talks on AI models I developed, and uses relatively deep functionality on a day to day basis that I couldn't hope to implement the end to end of by hand. Depending on where you draw the line of democratization, I think we're already well into the promised land, and I'm only seeing continued positive improvements in this respect as well.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting, but IIRC installed Android apps are still compressed on disk, to save storage space, hence the recompression.
You know, this lingo about "Extraordinary", "Remarkable", "Astonishing", "Phenomenal", etc developers is incredibly off-putting.

I mean really, now - who would want to work with someone who described (or even overtly thought of) themselves that way?
Because it will be an entry-level position with low expectations. I'd never pay $125k to a self-taught engineer who will move at a snail's pace, and might need a lot of help from the team.

The $125k salary comes later once the engineer moves faster and doesn't need a lot of help.
But your above comment does in fact argue about productivity.

It communicates that you could "concentrate in such an environment.", when he could not.
You have to remember the overhead for that $5m in revenue would only be a few engineers let's say 5 at $1m, that's $4m profit.

Whereas on the $43m they still had to manufacture, ship, hire designers, engineers, etc.

That $4m profit would be a LOT more than 10%, that would cover 20 people's salary
I tried for a while putting in big letters "Please do not offer me jobs for less than $n" (with n about 80% of my salary at the time) on my LinkedIn profile, but it had absolute zero effect on recruiters. Presumably they don't manually read the profile at all, rather just skim for keywords.
What's the point? Why bother when we know what the response is going to be?
The real problem with Mr. Robot is how it's perceived by noobs who think that using SQLMap or whatnot would give them the ability to hack into any site in a jiffie. Popularizing specialized themes is a double edged case. At one hand it makes the general public understand our work and also the dangers modern technology carries. From the other hand it makes hacking seem cool and easy which is far from true.
No worries, I get that we're probably not a demographic you've considered, and like I said, I don't even know if in the end this tool will work for me.

To give you an idea of what I'm thinking of, I've looked into https://github.com/dennybritz/neal-react (unfortunately the hosted demo appears to no longer be up.) I'm sure this will bring out the "JavaScript shouldn't be abused like this!" haters, and I'm not the biggest React fan, but I like that I can position a few high-level components without having to think "I need 2 divs, one that's a panel, one that's X width and another 12-X, etc." Granted, I've never built anything with this React library and don't even know if it looks good, but it's closest to what I want in a page design system. Just give me a few high-level blocks that are responsive and look good, and I'll go from there.
Very efficiently done!

Love that you didn't force me with any annoying pop-ups or interfering spaces to ask for email. I gave you anyway, with my 100% will.

Looking forward to your finished product. My girlfriend wants to build a Yoga website to put in all her stuff and promote her private lessons. I was going to build it myself, but your product is so intuitive that I might give her this and ask her to build it herself!
Actually, the post you replied to seemed serious.

fwiw, I read that as being in the voice of "his wife's biographer", not the modern author. And either way, to be about the fellow's behavior, not some actual judgement of the worth of women.
This is a point that is brought up a lot, and I'm happy that our community is having these discussions, but I don't think that this is the best place to bring it up again. This post is intended to convey a lot of technical, inside information about this tool to people who are already using it. If you don't know where to begin with Babel, this is not a good resource.

Also, constant negative feedback discourages the creators and maintainers of projects like this from continuing to work on them:

I've never used a Unicode operators myself and there are no requirements to use Unicode characters. Every Unicode operator has a "Texas" counterpart in 100% ASCII. This was mentioned in the OP.

I think you are mistaking `<a b c d>` with a `Set`. `< >` is a shorthand for "give me a `List` of these words" (or in this case, characters). `<a b c d>.Set` would coerce you a `Set` from that list. The set operators coerce by default, so you can pass it a list of words without requiring you to coerce it yourself beforehand.
