Thanks guys. I'll see how integrated this functionality has to be to the site, and just use PHP if needed. Otherwise Python, which would be quicker for me.

In 5 years how many cars will be equipped with the basal level of sensors that make these sorts of hacks possible? My guess is more people will have compatible cars in their house than qudrotors....

That would needlessly tie front and back-end, imposing restrictions on both sides for a minimum common denominator.
Both can be true. Figuring out poorly explained technologies is still indicative of a certain kind of aptitude or proficiency.
There was a recent video about him trying to reverse some SoC IIRC, where he would MitM the cpu and sniff protocols and ISA. My memory is blurry, but it was a similar effort than the article here.

Designing a reliable system which combines widely distributed computing and Smalltalk-style integration appears to be a significant CS research problem.

In the short term, I can imagine a system which exposes a REPL from each backend instance and a websocket-driven REPL from each browser client, and ties them together in a unified interface that allows enumeration and provides convenient syntax for evaluation against multiple targets. Such a system might offer some interesting possibilities around realtime client and server hot-patching and problem investigation, if it could be made bulletproof enough not to also serve as a gigantic SPoF or security vulnerability. But I don't know if it's really similar to what you're thinking of.

I had a recently gone onto SO, and a question was asked about an error in a minified file... I suggested he try the unminified version to see if the problem still existed.. I was then asked where to get the unminified version. It went downhill from there...

...and absurdly complex.

One of the quick tests I like to do to ascertain the complexity of a codebase is "how long does it take to find the entrypoint" and "how long does it take to find the core functionality"?

In this case, I have been clicking around through nearly empty directories for 15+ minutes and haven't seen anything that looks like an entrypoint yet, nevermind the main loop.

In contrast, I downloaded the Bash source and within 5 minutes found the main loop (eval.c) and entrypoint (shell.c).

Now I'm curious to know what the cmd.exe source is like, but MS seems to have no intention of releasing that.
I'll second the recommendation on the TP-Link Archer C7. It's a really nice, not too expensive, piece of kit. Bought one for my folks to replace a cheap old Walmart-grade LinkSys, and it was night and day better - now my dad can pick up usable signal in his garage, 500 yards away from the router.
I might actually do that, mostly because I really only do quick edits on the console 99% of the time.

Trunking makes it unlikely you'll achieve much more than 56k without the phone company being "cooperative" (setting up DSL). Even 56k is/was a major feat given that the analog signals would typically get digitally compressed into 64kbps channels.

If you could somehow get a "pure" un-trunked copper line end to end, it'd be down to distance and how clean the switch connections are - e.g. back when I was running an ISP in the mid 90's the local telco often delivered multiple Mbps leased line connections by simply hard-wiring "normal" copper subscriber lines on the switches in between, but of course that let them test and ensure the connections were clean enough and take appropriate action if they weren't.

I agree. I felt that with maths many times - it was fear caused by lack of understanding. "I don't know what it is, I don't know how to bite it, I don't feel the problem, help!".

I have that with software too, sometimes - again, due to lack of understanding. For most of my Java experience, Maven POM files for me were "that fucking pile of shitty XML I'm not touching with a ten foot pole, because it doesn't make sense". I didn't know why it looks the way it does, what any change will do, how to make anything work. I eventually bit the bullet and spent a day reading up on the docs and now I'm not afraid anymore. But it took me some years to first stop avoiding the topic altogether.

> 'losing all mail/photos/....' (which is, given the person's skills, usually actually very hard to do for them).

The thing is, they don't know that. They have no intuition for the range of operations and capabilities of a piece of software in front of them. You and I both know that this program they're using probably won't be able to find user's mail or photos by itself, much less delete anything - nor that anything in its operations comes close to deleting anything. But regular people don't know that, and I think the common factor here is not having an intuition about the limits of space you're moving in.
That's not true. I WAS true a few years back which is what is probably misleading you.

That's your choice. The importance of Dang and the other moderators to this forum astronomically dwarfs the importance of individuals like yourself or myself.

And no one here is solving how to put dinner on the table for anyone when ranting about Trump, Clinton, BLM, KKK, inequality, immigration, or any of dozens of other political hot topics.

This is one of the reason I'm truly excited about the future of javascript in its ES6 or Typescript form.

If they manage to make this run and use emscripten and manage to build all the video computation optimizations.. how far of a stretch is it really to combine lodash+emscripten+BLAS/LAPACK to build a high performance computing platform based on javascript ?
Exactly.

For example, Mozilla is deprecating NPAPI just as fast as it can, because it long predates e10s (Chrome-style process isolation) and they do not play well together. e10s has been so long delayed already, and Firefox's performance problems are so intractable to solve without it, that from the perspective of a very long-time Firefox user like me this is very obviously the correct course of action.

This deprecation will break the existing VLC plugin for Firefox, but that's not a huge deal because it never has worked very well in any case - developing a reliable NPAPI plugin is a seriously hard problem in general and has been since browsers got complicated enough to do interesting things in the first place. You also have to restart the browser to make any changes to the set of installed NPAPI plugins, and that's a lot more of a problem than it was before the browser became an application runtime. Now that the JS runtime is fast and capable enough to run "real application" code, we derive a much better experience by leveraging that power than we do by targeting a legacy interface that is relatively ill documented and much easier to get wrong in ways that break the whole browser rather than just one page or tab. We also get cross-browser compatibility of a sort that NPAPI never could offer.

I get that a lot of people think it's weird for the web browser's page scripting language, which was nothing more than a cute toy a couple decades ago, to be eating the world like this. I think it's weird, and it's how I earn a living! But, weird or not, it's also the best application platform we have or likely soon will have for a broad and widening variety of use cases, and that is because, while no more perfect than anything else, it actually works really well. Railing bitterly against technology that works really well seems potentially counterproductive to me. But I appreciate there exists a diversity of opinion on the subject.

"reMarkable says the screen has 55ms latency for quick response from pen input"

55ms would be impressive for an LCD. Even the iPad Pro has a latency of 60ms [1]. So a 55ms claim for an E Ink panel? Should raise one's alarm detector.

> I'd wager political topics lead to emotionally charged, intellectually devoid arguments (much) more commonly than others.

There's a severe danger that you would lose. For a commentary on emotionally charged and intellectually devoid arguments about a technical subject, I give you http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/ProSystemdAntiSystemd/ (discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8488235).

But that's not the whole of it, by a long chalk. There have been "the OS Wars", "the editor wars", "the archiver wars", and others. One particularly extreme example that I personally encountered was a group of people in comp.os.os2.advocacy . They did all of the petty and stupid Usenet tricks such as rudely and impatiently splitting paragraphs and sentences to reply to all of the individual words. Much of the level of "argument" was the sort of thing that I'd expect from six-year-olds in a playground: parroting, insults, and general childishness.

I didn't read the newsgroup for the better part of a decade. When I went back to look at it I was astounded to see that the group was still at it, in (as far as I could tell) the same threads with exactly the same content-free taunting and rubbish.

Going back to that newsgroup again today, and picking stuff at random, here's an example of this sort of discourse. From 2011!

I can see myself being in the target market (sw/hw developer) - while much of my day-to-day work takes place on a computer, I still rely on pen and paper for early sketches/brainstorming and the like, leading to an office with (quite literally!) hundreds of notebooks on the shelves.

On your second point, this is a very interesting distinction between American and European views of privacy that I've noticed a lot here on HN. I'm curious about the source of European skepticism, but from my own perspective, America has always had a skepticism of government powerfully built into our Constitution, and you can freely choose to associate or disassociate with a business at your leisure; not so with a government. I would really enjoy hearing the other perspective.

He never said he'd "create a national Muslim registry", (assuming "muslim registry" means "a registry of all muslims); it was just implied that he did.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/nov/24/...

"No, he would not rule out a database on all Muslims. But for now, he wants a database for refugees."

And most importantly - it wasn't him that brought up the idea, he was asked this "John F. Kennedy is not a homosexual"-style. The fact that he failed to clarify either way was then reported in ambiguous snippets giving the impression that he had brought this up.

Even an insinuation that someone has a connection with an undesirable group apparently makes it legitimate to repeatedly ask them about it. I think such a low-bar to interrogation is not enough; sometime even being repeatedly asked something can give the impression that it might be true (or more likely), "big lie"-style.
