How To: Using the Angular2 Http Library Outside an Angular2 App
Lots of projects need their own CLI for administration purposes, here there are ready tools for command line parsing - like GNU readline (or editline/libedit if you can't work with the GPL), these are very useful as they do such things as tab completion, etc.
Less than ~25% of active Android devices are on Marshmallow or Nougat, which somewhat tempers the impact of this change.

iOS does offer a slightly nicer three tiered request strategy over Google's yes|no. iOS let's you grant location access only when the app is active
Seeing as you need a TV etc. then it is worth considering serial too.

That seems reasonable - anecdotally I know many graduates from both sides of the pond who have never read a book they didn't have to - for instance, in the UK, fifty shades was broadly heralded as the first book many had read in their adult lives.

From within our intellectual elite bubble it's easy to go "surely it ain't so", but there it is. Hell, my ex business partner who was a highly educated and intelligent man doesn't own a single book and hasn't read one since "animal farm" at school.

The sad reality is that the vast majority of people have absolutely no interest in reading. It's not a question of access, rather perceived effort.

> I think the word "mundane" is out of place.

I think it's perfectly fine. "Mundane" means "commonplace", "everyday"; it's an antonym of "exotic".

Some people use it in a slightly derogatory fashion because, unlike you, they don't appreciate the complexity and ingenuity of many mundane things. Which is a shame, but I think sadly inevitable, as many (most?) are designed to be unobtrusive; the only time you should notice a sewage system, say, is when it goes wrong.
Ha! Came here to say something similar.

OnboardIQ (YC S15) Is Hiring Ruby on Rails Engs. With 2+ Years Experience
OnboardIQ (https://onboardiq.com/) is a hiring automation platform for companies employing lots of hourly workers — think delivery companies, retail, call centers, and service marketplaces. We went through Y Combinator’s batch last summer (S15), raised a $3.3m seed round, and we’ve grown tremendously over the past year.

On the surface, we're a b2b software tool. Underneath the hood, we've collected tons of applicants by serving as the backend that processes every single one of our customer's hourly-workforce applicants, and we've started to build algorithms that can predict hire rates and retention of applicants in a service economy that is characterized by unpredictable labor.

Our stack is Ruby on Rails on the backend, and React on the front.

We're about to raise our series A so it's the perfect time to join and be part of the early team.

the latency is basically the only thing we've focused on for a while, it's a very focused device in terms of what we spend our resources on.

Computer is not a car. Car is an appliance, and perfect bullshit-free car would be one that simply drives you from point A to point B safely, without any additional input besides providing the point B.

Computer is not an appliance, it's a general-purpose problem-solving tool. It's closer to reading and writing than to dishwasher or fax machine. You can argue that applications are like appliances, and that makes some sense, but refusing to learn about the environment those applications live in makes you that much less able to do things that span multiple applications.

You don't need LIDAR for self driving cars. You also don't need megawatts of power to play top-level Go: humans do it with a few tens of watts of energy. Yet Google needed ~megawatts of energy to run AlphaGo on their massive server farm.

Imagine two companies competing to win at Go, and one company had the attitude that megawatts of energy was not necessary, and another company threw whatever resources they could. The second company just played top-level Go this year. The first company is at least another 5-10 years away from it.

I'd also like to point out that humans do SLAM already (LIDAR solves SLAM). From a previous comment:

Humans implicitly perform SLAM (simulataneous localization and mapping). What do I mean? Look around your room. Close your eyes. Visualize the room. As a human, you've built a rough 3D model of the room. And if you keep your eyes open and walk through the room, that map is pretty fine-grained/detailed too and humans can keep track of where they are in the map.

For learning, I have a directory in my Dropbox called "Programming" with a subdir for each programming language. Then I make my test projects/tutorials in single dirs, for instance: /Dropbox/Programming/Lua/helloworld

For other projects which may or may not develop into something bigger I put it on Github now that my subscription offers unlimited private repos. Previously I hosted them on Gitlab.

I like to organize the projects with Git because it'll often go months between when working on different private projects and by looking at the Git log I quickly see what was the last thing I worked on to get back on track.

ed was the first Unix editor I ever learned, back in 1991. The first terminal I was given in my first job didn't support screen control commands so I could only use line oriented commands such as ed. I got so used to it I still use it occasionally to this day just from habit, though I do now mainly use vi. I occasionally use it in scripts using 'here' documents.
For me, the keypoint is the haptic feeling. As a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, for me the physical "feeling" of the things I use in daily life is a very important and underrated aspect.

Most of the time I find myself switching between my pencil/notebook and google docs. The feel of the pencil on the notebook, the friction, the feeling of pressing on the notebook is a matter of satisfaction which we cannot find on tablets. On the other hand, the flexibility of digital stuff is a must.

With iPhone 7, I am satisfied with the haptic feeling of pressing a button. A similar achievement on a surface would be revolutionary.

Pearl Harbor survivor recalls ‘the day I do not forget’ 75 years later
the reason we're a bit scant on technical details so far is partly because we have spent most of our technical resources on actually making the device. but we'll try to get out a more technical blog post soon.

another reason is that we can't share too much about what we're working on in case some journalist picks up some wording as promising some feature we can't deliver on. a lot of the stuff we're working on is stuff we don't know if we can deliver in time, in a polished enough form. so what we're talking about is what we have already solved, and which we believe is going to sell the device best to the people we target.

lastly, Certain Companies that have tried to do this for years are really, really interested in how we have solved the latency problem, and we don't want to help them.

I have friends who are in this case. They worked in their flat first to save money, it is true.

But they grew tired of working in their apartment and started to rent a place as soon as they had sufficient funds (after 2 years).

Their problems were:

* Lack of separation between worklife and the rest.

* Living and working with the same persons. They are really good friends but it was still hard apparently.

* Having to dedicate a big part of your apartment to the work (desks but also hardware, documents, etc.).
> odious piece of political signalling masquerading as an argument

Are terms like "racist", "facist" etc fine in comparison? If I described them as above, I doubt it would be well recieved;

"
The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies 'something not desirable.' The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

Those projects have a lot of history and often very specific needs and workflows. Github's bug tracker is really simplistic TBH, and lacks a lot of crucial yet basic functionality, such as custom fields, issue dependencies, etc that are really, really useful if you're working on a large project, and they're very useful to the maintainers in particular. You can sort of get around a small part of it with issue templates but it doesn't really fix the root problems (e.g. it can't offer this metadata as part of the API if you script against it), especially if you ever need to extend or integrate your issue tracker elsewhere.

Also, maybe I'm reading part of your suggestion incorrectly, but you really only want one canonical issue tracker. I've seen some people use GH repositories as issues-only repos for off-site code, which is OK for public accessibility, if it's the only one. But multiple places where bugs can be reported and multiple trackers, etc generally take a substantial amount of time and effort to maintain for the developers. It's already hard enough for most teams to keep on top of whatever issue tracker they have already, having to wedge two tools together just makes it worse...

And also... Personally, Github is nice and all, but saying "Everyone should always go out of their way to use it so my life of reporting bugs can be that much easier, think about it" seems a bit self centered and short sighted, to be honest.

Having a code mirror on GH is always pretty good practice though, IMO, and quite easy to configure at least.
also it is hard to define the boundaries of 'political discussions'. A lot of events in the tech world have political implications - examples like data retention policies/what data is gathered at all.

In any event its an editorial decision: HN is a medium/tool of ycombinator and they decided that this is necessary in order to preserve its value.
At 55ms I'd much rather have a phone or netbook with this display. So I'll believe it when I see it.
I really like the idea. But I don't much care for it syncing to the vendor's cloud server. If it would sync in open file formats to my NextCloud instance, then that's attractive.

Also, there's definitely a balance to be struck between lack of distraction and lack of features. It would be a waste for this not to have an epub reader, for example. But while I'd really appreciate having email on it, that's starting to get into distraction territory.
No, not really. Once I install the extension, unless I do something unusual, I've signed up to automatically download and run whatever code is signed with the right key and put in the update channel. If the dev isn't trustworthy, I'm almost certainly going to be hosed before I know I have a problem. Being able to see exactly how I got hosed, after the fact, is somewhat cold comfort.
If you guys have any examples of AI, please let me know. Will add them to the site.

Did that for the OS class in 90/91 at UND. Class was taught using an AT&T 3B2. First non-PC class I had that was not on VMS or an IBM mainframe. Was a very interesting project, and keeping the code clean was a bit of a pain.

Taxes are actually lower than in most US states, when it comes to profits. Obviously we have a lot of added taxes when it comes to salaries (by paying an employee 2000€/month, as a company you can expect to pay ~4000€ when you add up everything).

But as a startup, you have so many ways of diminishing your taxes. You can deduce your investment into R&D when it is a least 20% of your costs, up to 80.000€/year, "young innovative enterprises" (JEI) get a 50% tax break for 7 years, the CIR is quite literally 30% of your R&D paid by the state, I can't even list them all because there are so many.

As a startup, you are most likely going to choose to pay impôts sur la société, which is taxed at 15% for the first 38.120€ of benefits, then 33.3%. In your example, 5000€/month adds up to 60000/year, so the first tax bracket takes 5.718€ out, and the second one 7.220€, for a total of 12.938€ in taxes per year. Once again, that is before any tax rebate, which can very easily get your down to maybe 6.000€/year[1]

The high profile french leaving were leaving for tax havens, so I'm not sure that's really a good example.

The disconnect here for me is that your hypothetical is hardly a new phenomena unique to our time. What would you have done in the 50s? 80s? 90s?

Let's put things in perspective here. The very fact that you can have real time updates on the metrics off the /device/ that is expected to be carried with your son means you have a direct channel of communication to your son's device. Worried? Give him a call. Problem solved.
except we waited until we had actual hardware prototypes before going public, from an ODM we've been working on for a while. and (some of our team) are on HN, which gives us much more street cred.

and you can find pictures of us. one of the reasons I've been skeptical about the noteslate is because I couldn't really find out who was making it.
Worry you're blinded by capitalism's propaganda that everything nice must be paid for, in this case through attention to corporate messaging (ads), ceding control of personal info (social sign ups), and personal tracking (trackers).

That's a terrible price.

The web I grew up on was more akin to non-profit pamphleteering. If you wanted to say something, you hosted it on your home page and paid for it. You did this out of support for spread of knowledge like the .edus, or out of just wanting to have a voice. And it was fine!

I hear the same "pay up if you want music" nonsense from record labels. I'm sorry, but if they all went out of business and nobody ever spent a dime on music again, you think kids with guitars would stop songwriting? No, they'd all still self-publish. Even when the 80's equivalent of uploading was copying tapes, good bands still 'went viral'.

As long as you were hosting text, pamphleteering cost essentially nothing no matter what volume. Even in late 90's, a billion hits of pure text cost less than $100.

It's how Wikipedia still works today. Just a small donation from a tiny fraction of visitors, and the whole thing is covered. No rights were lost or PII given up in the sharing of those ideas.

We’ve had issues with Pingdom at work. We don’t use them ourselves, but we host web sites, and some customer of ours used Pingdom to monitor their web site hosted on our servers. The customer would complain to us about downtime reported by Pingdom, but we would read the logs and find everything OK, with multiple successful accesses from other people during the time which Pingdom reported our customer’s site as being down. A huge pain.

Initially I was also planning to buy the Archer C7 but it seems OpenWRT is not flawless on it. This is unfortunate since that appears to be the recommended router for OpenWRT, so there is nothing on which OpenWRT works perfectly.

That was the situation 10 months ago. I'm not sure if things have changed since then. If they did, the OpenWRT has not been updated: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr7500 According to some recentish posts on their forum there may be hope: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=342710#p342710

I wonder if it isn't better to just go DIY ( http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/09/diy-homebrew-router... ) with pfSense or with the PCEngines apu1d4 and use a separate switch and access point.

Right now, it is very important to have a router with firmware you can trust and upgrade, otherwise sooner or later it will join a botnet. Therefore for me any router option without FLOSS firmware support is eliminated.

Edit: Just read the comment above about OpenWRT being dead. Looking into LEDE.
