tickets in Australia are generally always sold as "non-transferable". They just happen to be easily transferable. If they weren't, I imagine you might be able to decide closer to the event if you'd actually like to go, rather than have to buy your tickets within 2 minutes of the event going on sale, 3 months before the event happens...
so true, it lacks an inbox feature like Bitbucket Server (Atlassian Stash) has. On top of that:

- keeping track of changes over the life time of a PR is impossible, you have review the whole thing over and over again
- toggle notes (comments) on a per file basis is silly and unpractical on PR's with lots of files and comments.
- there is no way to see which PR from a list you already approved.

And the list goes on and on. I have been using Github Enterprise at my new job since recently and it is by far the poorest of tools I have ever used to review code.
The reason im asking this question is, I am launching an app and it has different pricing based on different countries. So, the transaction doesn't happen on the client-side, its simply displaying the price of the app. The actual charge happens via Apple.

Big companies usually have different websites for different countries. But for smaller countries do they simple just display the price for the main country they sell in and if a user is buying from another country they rely on their payment gateway to display the local currency?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't they still pretty similar (in that they sound like misnomers?)

Relations ~= Consensus (traditional full-featured Paxos)

To use your sentence

If you use NOPaxos, the consensus doesn't disappear. You just have to perform it whenever your sequencer, or replica-leader becomes unreachable/fails.

The "OUM primitive" addition isn't much more than two monotonically increasing integers (session and order-number) which depend on a central (bottleneck) sequencer... NoSQL moved the responsibility for relation-management up, NoPaxos is moving the responsibility for consensus down/to the worst case... My point was that neither are fundamentally different from the "X" after the "NO"...
I did! Why do you ask?
I agree to an extent. I think in the example you mention, I would probably do it in vanilla JS. XHR is a negligible amount of code with vanilla javascript. It's also the same thing with event handlers but you do not need the overhead of the entire jQuery library. If you want animations, I would borrow a few CSS declarations from animate.css and add/remove classes or data attributes as needed.

I think it really depends on how you structure your HTML as well; having tortured myself into learning Angular has really helped with understanding how to think about data structures as opposed to strict DOM elements and this has carried over to how I write javascript nowadays.

One thing that I will mention is that I have worked really hard to not use jQuery over the last year, so my preferences may not be shared by you. I guess it depends on what is quicker and easier to maintain for you.
But we've seen "soft" AR and it appears to be fairly popular - Pokemon Go and Ingress. If you ask players of either of those games, if they would like a "harder" - i guess this means more immersive - experience while playing these games, they'll bite your hand off.

There's also father.io, which looks pretty fun, but I haven't tested that out yet.

For me, in my uneducated almost ignorant understanding of the situation, AR has a massive advantage over VR in that it tends to not make you quite as motion sick.
"First appeared: 1959" and it looks it. I don't think the author is doing himself any favours by going on about such an archaic language!
Ordering is definitely guaranteed -- it's the only thing that is, by this scheme (delivery is not, latency is unbounded).

They provide 3 approaches in the paper: SDN node, programmed hardware, and software-only. Software-only approach lost some of the latency-gains, as might be expected.
In my specific case, that I've mentioned, the tests surely increased the confidence as they were the part of the whole process, where the results from the tests were used to modify the product in question until it was able to pass all the tests. The tests allowed to proactively "solve the bugs" which would otherwise produce much more problems if the product had been used in production without these tests.

I have to see warnings for weak certificates, but loading 3rd party scripts is ok by default. When browsers are written by ad companies or beholden to ad companies, this is what you get.

Apple and Firefox (if Yahoo will let them) need to step up and block 3rd party scripts by default. Maybe even Chrome would get in on it if there was special whitelisting for Google's analytics.
Exactly. For my little JS needs I just use vanilla JS (even though the APIs are poor and the language is worse), since it will very likely work across all browsers I care about (recent FF/Chrome/Edge).
Thank you for the explanation. I now see why this won't work.

It seems then that the best option would be a device which affects your neural cortex more directly.
Is the second job "official"? Here in Brazil, no office rule can force you to disclosure to your employeers of other gigs (unless you work for government). Here, you sell 8 hours of your day and what you do in the free time is up to you (neither a NDA can change this).
Nah. The fact that this post exists is evidence that ageism is a thing.

What makes you think older people are passionate about the latest and greatest JavaScript frameworks? That is not my experience at all. New frameworks are just the same old stuff in a new wrapper. We've seen it all several times over. Like, backprop was a cool thing in the late 80s.

I, too, find this post sad, but probably not for the same reasons you did. This post, that makes me and you sad, doesn't make it any less of a fact that the young people in this industry think you are a useless dinosaur if you don't know what the new hot thing is about.
A desktop app would probably be tricky to use on a phone screen, but the big idea here is that you can connect the tiny computer in your pocket to a TV or a monitor and have it work just like a laptop, with no OS restrictions.
Read that last line again.
It's similar to the moving AI goalpost. At the end of the road, it's Matrix level wetware, though I'm sure at that point there will still be people waiting for "really, actually truly immersive".
120x120°? That would be wider than VR headsets!

Unfortunately Hololens FOV is more like 30×20°. Other AR players are mostly in the same ballpark at the moment. The good thing is that this gives very high pixel density. The other thing is that you don't see the edges unless the 3D render is cut off, so it may not feel as tunnelled as in VR.

Limitations of HTML Email Design – Video, Font, JS, Flash Support in Email
No, they see a yellow warning icon instead of the green https, and in some browsers the https is even red, and strikethrough.

That's quite concerning as far as warning signs go.

And I don't want to have to compromise the users safety by switching entirely back to HTTP, which would just give no warning.
When will people just learn to disable flash on their browsers?
No frameworks, no boilerplate - this is a great idea. I've seen too many junior developers go straight into learning React/Redux, or using bootstrap, or plugging in some library like velocity.js. It's often easier, more efficient, and more maintainable to use plain javascript with web APIs.

I think my Vive is immersive, with the definition that it tricks my brain into believing I'm somewhere else to the extent any technology short of a direct neural interface could.

You're never going to "truly" be immersed. You feel your carpet under your feet. You feel the weight of the headset. You don't smell anything. Nothing you pick up weighs anything. The list goes on. Every item breaks "true" immersion to a certain extent.

But your brain really loves to be tricked, and the visual does this rather easily. When I'm playing Valve's Xortex 26xxx, I'm in a futuristic room fighting orbs that are shooting at me. My hand is that spaceship. I don't even really care that my FOV is smaller than normal, or that it's a little blurry due to the low resolution. It's good enough that my brain is fooled. When I take off the headset, I generally have NO CLUE where I am in my room because for the entire time my brain didn't know or care.

And does it need to be "truly immersive"? No. It just needs to offer experiences that you can't find elsewhere. Try coming even close to the awesomeness of Google Earth VR, for instance.
I feel X86BSD here, because Linux has a history of being different for the sake of being different. A relatively recent example could be getentropy (BSD) vs getrandom (Linux).

OTOH Linux has some extremely useful syscalls that others just don't have, sometimes causing major performance regressions. Case in point: sync_file_range.

But then Linux also has a history of screwing up and having a bunch of different syscalls on different platforms because somebody introducing a syscall didn't quite think it through. Case in point: sync_file_range. This "only" causes extra work for developers directly working with syscalls - so usually libc devs.
Yes, the problem is after. Step two is confirming the number (by SMS or phone call). Step three is "generating keys". Step four is registering to the server, and it always fails there.

One of the problems for AMD is that everybody uses nVidia for computing, and nobody uses AMD. One of the reasons is thaf they have been ignoring non-mainstream GPU market. Well, those non-mainstream markets become mainstream and if you fall behind it is almost impossible to catch up. I personally prefer AMD's GPUs for computing and prefer OpenCL to CUDA. But, they are minor, since nvidia has much better software offering. AMD absolutely need to offer superb Linux story if they want to get people to use their hardware for computing instead of nvidia. They need Linux more than Linux needs them.
Same in Germany. Some big chains have even phased out plastic bags entirely and only offer paper bags for 0,50€.

Your analogy is flawed: let me fix it for you.
"I invented a battery powered coffee machine which works using 10000 times less power: it works by deferring the actual coffee making to another machine you plug into a wall socket. Now you can stop worrying about recharging the battery on the first coffee machine, and still enjoy your coffee just like before!"

With WiFi, the advantage is that battery powered devices like your smartphone will consume less energy. Sure, your router will draw more power from the wall socket, but you are effectively reducing power consumption where you actually are using WiFi the most, mobile devices that run on batteries.
Yes, I've seen people mention this. Unfortunately that didn't work for me.
It's tough to communicate this accurately. I've noticed a trend in engineers self-evaluating as old on HN to say things along the lines "I am having more fun than ever learning about the cloud/TypeScript/webfoo". Several people on all these "old in tech" threads.

I have the feeling these posts are not at all representative of the domain, and neither are the proposed solutions to just learn more, but it's all I've seen so far.

More of the same thing is not bringing us any closer to solving this very real issue.
This will hardly change, back on my hard GNU/Linux days I came to realise that the gamer/demoscene culture and UNIX culture are totally opposed to each other.

The gaming and demoscene cultures don't care 1 second how much their tools cost, the openess of hardware and software tooling, rather the achieved results and getting their stuff on the hands of users, regardless how.

The GNU/Linux culture is all about the ideology of having stuff for free, replicating a desktop experience as if CDE was the epitome of UX, fulled with xterms.

Of course I am generalising and might get tons of counter examples, just noting my personal experience regarding friends and co-workers.

Not only that, but "Showing and hiding the URL bar on mobile no longer resizes the initial containing block or elements sized with viewport units such as vh." Thank God! I thought they were never going to reverse this horrible decision. These two changes should substantially reduce scroll jumping on Android which is one of my biggest annoyances on the web these days.
But you could build a $30K prototype and show it to investors, saying that the cost would go down when mass production ramps up.
Can you explain what's the honest conversation to be had here? That "old" people should be looking for jobs outside of Tech? I am trying to understand your point of view. I can't even start to imagine how hard this gets when you are "old", have a family to take care of and, for god's sake, you'd like some kind of stability in life.

I am 30 by the way. I feel way more prepared than 5 years ago. I think experience is important sometimes.
Tangentially: I am working with LuaJIT these days and this feels really exciting to me. The compiler is a new kind of beast and possibly the beginning of a large Lisp-like family tree. Feels very "MACLISP" to me - exciting!
But every player of Pokémon Go that really tries to play the game not just for 30 minutes disables the AR camera first to save battery and because it doesn't add value. People using Pokémon Go with the AR cam enabled are young kids (it's funny) and Asian tourists snapping photos with Pokémon in front of landmarks and tourist spots.

I second your remark on motion sickness. And VR cuts the user/player from the real world, which is a social annoyance outside your own living room.
Almost every ageism post I've read on HN ignores the hundreds of thousands of others jobs that exist outside of [hot SV tech companies] (avg age at FB is 28? no way!), and also don't mention those people who are right of the bell curve and working at companies like that (because their experience actually is valuable).

Some of these posts are real ageism claims, but most are "I'm old, I'm scared, how am I going to survive with a highly valuable skillset?" It's fear mongering. If you're concerned with job security, go find a job with security in government or in some monolithic non-tech company based in Go-Fuck-Yourself, GA. The "Hi, Fellow Kids" hipster-posing BS isn't going to land you a job at Facebook no matter how old you are.

I upvoted your comment because it is a real pain. But I don't agree with blaming the Linux kernel developers for it.
Neither do I think it's analogous to this particular discussion either, because a, Linux kernel developers can optimize/prioritize their kernel code as they please.
b, In this case, AMD is submitting a patch to make it easier for them to support linux for their GPU. So the "ball is in their court" to find a solution the community finds acceptable.

Your case is about porting code between different OS kernels.

Even if you know that, you don't really have an option to stop it. You can buy a smartphone with either Android or iOS - and both are spying on the user heavily.
That's my understanding too of the situation too. Thanks for the link, BTW.
No, because you get full access to the OS APIs, so any application is exposed to the implementation specific behaviours of POSIX and OS specific syscalls and paths.

Where in Android, you just get Java and a tiny bit of C and C++.

Check the NDK documentation, Google provides a list of the set of APIs any NDK application is allowed to use.

Since many used to ignore that list, starting with Android 7, any app that uses unauthorised native libraries will get killed.
I think motion controllers and room scale make the difference. Usually it's Google Tiltbrush where it clicks for people. I think Valve's Robot Repair also did it for me. Walking over and slowly opening a drawer was really immersive.

I still think it's missing the killer app that'll make it stick. It's too low resolution for a virtual monitor and the fatigue would set in well before lunchtime.

I've seen a few very niche businesses where VR will probably change things. Room scale VR really helps with visualizing something; scale and shape. One of the car companies is using VR to prototype interiors--this replaces foam core, glue, and paint. I also think it'll do well in architectural visualization if the tools and talent to generate content are reasonably priced.
Or, instead of using iframes, they could have just redirected via link to the actual site.

My position is equal to yours: unless there are facts, it's a fantasy (modestly saying).

Moreover, in this particular case there are facts which don't fit into the idea that Russia first experiments in Belarus. For example Russia has a regulation that personal info of user should be stored inside the country (LinkeIn was banned recently for not obeying this regulation). There is no such regulation in Belarus. If Russia was experimenting first in Belarus they would try it here first.

Also, there is Chinese experience to study, I don't see any need for additional experiments.

So, it's nothing more than a conspiracy superstition.

It's not just Angular. I really do like React, but the ecosystem complexity is staggering there as well.

Facebook's "create-react-app" tool does a great job of packaging all the pieces... But the cost is apparent when looking at the size of an empty create-react-app boilerplate app:

> 85,174,715 bytes (148.8 MB on disk) for 23,387 items

This is on Mac, so the wasteful HFS+ file system means that an empty web frontend project takes up 150 MB of disk space. Each project I make with create-react-app will have this same overhead. That's fairly incredible.

People think C++ is complex, but a full C++14 compiler and dozens of libraries will fit in less space than a web boilerplate.

Well, yes, they also want everyone to be "civil", as though that's the highest ideal to aspire to. As though it's ever "civil" to, for example, call for the denaturalization and deportation of all Jewish people (as one very prominent HN member recently did), no matter how polite a tone one takes in doing so.
Живой ( jee-voi ) is also a Russian word that means alive. Or in case of Жива ( jee-va ) it is a feminine gender of the present tense.
