You see in in movie trailers. The trailer will typically have a cold-opening and sometimes a "mini-trailer" before the movie title that last almost exactly 5 seconds. This is to at least expose you to the movie even if you don't watch the rest.

Examples (especially the first)

If you're writing a journalistic article and you're criticising something, you better have a very good reason for not linking it. They barely summarised it.

The reasons you gave don't rise to that level.

If the other critique I made—that they don't actually mention anything wrong with the mail article— wouldn't be the case, it wouldn't be as bad.

But the fact that they didn't make any substantive critiques of the article and didn't link it makes it a hit piece.
It feels like Snopes outgrew its roots in urban-legend debunking, and decided to scale up to more real-time fact-checking - either because they saw a commercial opportunity, or just because they felt that they had a duty to do so. I was really surprised earlier this year when I realized they'd employed a staff - for so many years, Snopes was just Barbara and David Mikkelson.

It's a pity if they did scale up for altruistic reasons, but in the process ended up out of their depth - fact-checking news stories in a highly controversial and partisan environment seems like an entirely different kettle of fish than unravelling easily-debunked urban legends.
The little touches were the best part of the movie - the nihilist industrial scream-metal music, the Islamic militia in the streets, the plausibly crappy vehicles... Incredible movie.
Aye but is it something you'd watch with a bunch of 8 year olds?

Perhaps it's one on a technicality, in much the same way Die Hard is. But it's definitely not what most people think of when somebody says "it's a Christmas movie."
It's still a lot of effort for a manufacturer that has to constantly work on new devices to keep competing. It seems that cheap update process for this requires a microkernel based OS, which linux isn't, otherwise merging linux support for old devices is not economically viable and neither is upstreaming it. I think there was a discussion about this in a recent thread. Then there is a thing about hiring pools, we just don't have a lot of Ada, SPARK, Rust programmers in the world, which also makes the idea too expensive. DDoS, on the other hand, is not a real issue, ISPs already have the expertise and the infrastructure to deal with them, once it's going to cause too much problems for the quality of their service. I've witnessed this myself.
I apologise - I totally misread your comment, and thought it was a request for Hacker News to have linked to the Daily Mail article. Yes, I agree that the Guardian should have linked to it.
Not true, you can use typescript and have it along with stays-out-of-your-way static typing, or only test in modern browsers and cross compile later.
That's exactly what I said when i found out about it. Its just one of those things....
Take a look at this talk on why mobile devices are so much slower than desktop devices ( they are indeed 10x slower in the traces I have looked at too) - https://youtu.be/4bZvq3nodf4

Also look at the speedometer benchmark (http://browserbench.org/Speedometer/) for a more realistic comparison of how slow your mobile device is compared to your desktop when running real world apps. Here are some numbers from the benchmark from some devices - http://benediktmeurer.de/2016/12/16/the-truth-about-traditio...
It's not the fact that there is a divorce settlement, but the contents thereof which are at issue. If this were entirely false (as I would have expected from the Daily Mail), they could've said as much.

But there are quite a few things, like the allegations of criminal activity (e.g. embezzlement) going on at Snopes that reasonable people might have questions about with respect to their fact-checking operations.
Guess I wasn't clear, I edited my comment above. Thanks for that.
Ping pong? :)
I cannot agree more. Took us a year to figure out the whole process. Especially updating and maintaining the models in production can also be a handful.
You're going to give a Forbes article more credence than Snopes? I still haven't seen anyone point to a substantive example of why Snopes should not be trusted.
I also don't feel that aif has much value, and doesn't resemble the linguistic anaphora that it is inspired by.

That's why I did a "one up" in my ifa design, to outdo the silly aif macro.

In English, I can say, "if x exceeds 3, then print it". When I say that, it's obvious to everyone that by "it" I do not mean the Boolean value of "x exceeds 3". I mean x. So aif is nothing like the anaphoric "it" we encounter in English.

I tried to make ifa at least superficially try to capture some of that: (ifa (> (whatever) 3) (print it)): prints value of (whatever). Also, suppose (whatever) is a place. We want to be able to say "If (whatever) exceeds 3, increment it": (ifa (> (whatever) 3) (inc it)). And we don't want (whatever) evaluated twice.

The expression (aif whatever expr-containing-it) doesn't buy us much over (iflet (var whatever) expr-containing-var). Both communicate an organization of code around something returned from whatever, which can be nil (don't run the code) or some non-nil object (do run the code, refer to the thing as var). To me also, aif does look mostly like keystroke saving.

My iflet/whenlet/whilet/condlet constructs bind multiple variables. The last one is tested: (iflet ((x whatever) (y another thing)) expr-evaled-if-y-true). This makes the macros helpful in more situations. (Next release will make the y optional if expr doesn't need it.)

E.g.:

(whenlet ((x (get-something arg))
(y (get-some-dependent-thing x other-arg (calculation)))
;; code run if y is true, with access to x too
)

Or:

(whilet ((next (get-next-object stream))
(maybe-foo (if next (get-foo-property next))))
;; process only maybe-foo things from stream
)

We should try towrite macros that have some half decent level of impact: bang for the parenthesis and symbol. Especially if they are intended for enduring public use.

What self is there to understand? Does a computer chip know what it's processing?
Also, the package definition.

You need the package definition for the source-code-read time of whatever you're compiling, and the macros for its macro-expansion time. Practically speaking, these are tied together.
The one difference I'd say is that the AmazonBasics house brand is usually leaps and bounds better than the competition for much cheaper. I needed a monitor arm, and they happened to have the cheapest one at the time - the next most expensive one had bad reviews for not being strong enough for heavier screens.

My memory sucks, and I would love an app to help me. Alleviate my concerns about data privacy, and make it available on Android, and I'll give it a serious try.
Did you consider using an off-the-shelf solution like Realm?

In my experience it made it trivial to handle the synchronization of arbitrarily complex object graphs (including those with circular dependencies).
How so? I've watched it several times and not sure how it relates?
Better than nothing... But in its own way it really needs a high def, surround sound experience to become fully absorbed, and your full undivided attention. Same way if I recommend that someone watch 2001 for the first time or Apocalypse Now Redux (the full 3 hour cut).

It's good that somebody's trying to fill the (massive) boots of Flash. Yes, flash is clunky, and it's soundly mocked around here for good reason, but it filled a genuine need, and was used to create a lot of cool content (Eddsworld, Animator vs Animation, Weebl's stuff, My Little Pony (yes, really: look it up)), and sparked an age of experimentation in game design, kicked off casual gaming, and allowed easier publication of and access to independant games than ever before (Speaking as one of the many who have lost countless hours to N, Run 2, Meat Boy, FreeRider 2, Fancy Pants Adventures, PacXon, Portal The Flash Version, SHIFT, The World's Hardest Game, This is The Only Level (1, 2, and 3), Exit Path, Escape the <x>, Sushi Cat, and countless other games).
agreed, It was amazing because everyone automatically knew what was at stake and sides no longer existed in that conflict (temporarily atleast).

It's not a "hit piece" any more than your comment is. It's an opinion piece.
Its not trust thats the problem. Its marketing. You don't seem to have a marketing systen in action. To me its pretty clear that you need to work on converting those 300+ users into paying customers through a drip campaign and special offers.
On a lighter note, I had a good chuckle when the article mentioned that the director deliberately avoided depiction of cellphones to avoid creating an unintentional period piece[0].

The last movie I watched in the treatre is Clint Eastwood's "Sully" and I distinctly remember the main character using a chronologically appropoaite Samsung flip phone and that single prop instantly dates the movie to the first decade of the 20th century. Just as much as Pulp Fiction is locked in the early 90s with Vincent Vega pulling the antenna out of his Motorola brick phone in one exaggerated motion, albeit these choices are probably intentional.

Some long running manga series take another approach by quietly giving its cast the latest gear despite the timeline moving at a much slower pace.[1] It works until you start revisiting the earlier episodes and get reminded of how old the series really is with its depiction of personal electronics.

Ask HN: What is the ugliest code you've let slip?
I've seen some horrible code run perfectly, and some inexplicable snippet that shouldn't run work well enough.

What have you let make it to production that never should have been there, and likely was only intended as a temporary fix?

Did you ever get around to fixing it?

As somebody noted below, this just looks remarkably like Evernote: store notes, photos, places and reminders, with multiple tags that you can define yourself. It's an incredibly manual process, although as someone with 610 notes in Evernote, I attest to its usefulness :)

Really, this seems like the killer app for always-on video lifelogging, coupled to really advanced computer vision and automatic tagging. I would love an app that I could ask whenever I put my keys down in yet another inventively silly place, or ask when I last saw my wallet (was it stolen, or did I just leave it at home?), or ask to show me all the times I'd put away a cable so that I could figure out where my rarely-used external HD power supply was stashed.
That's another language. You can prefer Java. You can prefer TypeScript. They are just not JavaScript. (Nowadays there are so many source-to-source compilers to JavaScript. Even Java-to-Javascript compiler.)
Question: will this post help or hurt them when they're trying to get another job in the deep learning field?
> This is the clear and explicit way to express your intent.

I disagree. For the (common) circumstances where genexp's are appropriate, they are also the most clear and explicit way of expressing intent (explicit loops express the mechanism, not the intent.)

For cases where you need a list object, list comprehension are the most direct expression of intent.

There's cases where explicit looping is the most clear expression of intent; usually, this would be where complex logic is needed within each loop iteration.
This looks like it could be a more modern interpretation of what Apple's Hypercard was trying to be.

Flash did this very well but, the technology and corporate ecosystem around it was terrible so it was good that we got rid of it.

This seems poised not to have those burdons. I wish the creators of this would do two things:
1. Get a sustainable funding model - Patreon seems pretty good for this.
2. Make indepth user testing (with non-technical people) a heavy priority within their culture.

The internet needs something for making media that isn't Adobe or Facebook or Google or Microsoft. Something that is open and financed directly by the people who want to use it and people that care about a free and open internet should happen.

If the authors of this project open a Patreon page, I pledge $20/mo for an entire year. I will also match $5/mo for anyone else willing to join me in supporting this project.

FYI: I have never met nor spoken to any of the Wick team members. I just got inspired to do something other than just throw out random advice on the internet today.

To the Wick team: PM me if you are interested in starting a Patreon.
Virtual DOM doesn't really have anything to do with preventing XSS. It's done in angular 1 as well.

Really, it's about taint checking [1]. Distrust all sources of content by default that might have seen user input (or that you know have seen user input), and require explicit trust declarations from the developers to remove taints.

When you're about to use the data (e.g. appending to the DOM), you simply check for tainted data and escape is for the context you're in. Most times in the browser, that just means escaping content that might be valid HTML, but there are probably other contexts that require escaping as well.

That's a non-sequitur, you may as well say we're seeing this with the explosiong of freelancers and personal businesses.

Because that's really what those youtube personalities are, but that doesn't really address the issue of the older folks who have lost their jobs.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! Today I learned :)
There’s something really odd about Consumer Reports’ MacBook Pro battery test
It's a nonsensical idea.

Imagine you are a soul, in limbo, somewhere outside the universe and elsewhere in another part of reality the universe is progressing through its motions as time goes on. You are an other-reality-style being, yet somehow still allocated as "going to be a homosapiens on Milky Way\Sol\Earth", and your birth will be random during the era of homo sapiens.

Now you can argue about the likliehood of where this random birth happens.

On the other hand, take away the other place, and the souls, and the spooky assignment of types, and just look at the universe as a thing of matter and energy. Some configuration of matter was born to your parents, from their DNA. It is intimately connected to its surroundings by a continual stream of light, heat, air pressure, physical pressure; over millions of seconds it learns. It learns the patterns of air pressure that correspond to other people talking to it, and it learns what things it can and can't push by trying, and what other people talk about.

And it says "isn't it unlikely that I was born here and now, instead of some other time?"

And the question makes no sense. _What_ could have been born somewhere else? or somewhen else? Without its parents DNA, without its particular twenty continuous years of sensory input that it learned from, it would not be itself.

Some other matter, born to other parents, with other DNA, and other childhood experiences, and other knowledge patterns. It would be someone else. Entirely someone else. And ... that happens, we call it "other people".

If you don't believe in a soul, or something like it, what does it mean for you to possibly "be born somewhen else"?
Conversely, in William Gibson's Neuromancer, there are no cell phones, despite being set decades into the future.

Gibson knows a thing or two about seeing their scifi becoming dated, of course. The famous opening line, "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" no longer resonates with anyone born the last 20 years or so (although for a number of years, many digital TVs would display blue for missing input).

There's also some fun stuff about people physically carrying information (this also happens in short story "Johnny Mnemonic"). For a world where there's a highly connected, super fast worldwide computer network available, people sure travel around a lot.
I feel like a static password doesn't really count as MFA. Someone can keylog that static password without you knowing.
> I’m curious actually why an f-string syntax is considered OK when a print-statement is not.

One reason might be that f-strings work in expressions, while statements do not. Even with the BDFLs apparent distaste for functional programming constructs, syntax that works within expressions has lots of practical advantages over statements.
This is appealing for the duality. Important stuff should be protected. Unimportant shouldn't be able to do anything.

The problem is soon everything will be important. Think we can classify ourselves out of this? Good luck.

So, we can make things less vulnerable at a software level. Or we can pick our data. For example, your personal information should be more resilient to problems.

The problem is this is as much societal as software. If someone "robs" you by buying tons of digital non goods, there should be cheap recourse. If they bought real goods, should be the same.

But then we get to physical things like cars. Nothing is as good as the sandbox that currently exists of isolated devices. As soon as they are fully networked, the concept of sandboxing is laughable. Desperately needed, but laughable.
> Safer road for a webapp is to start from a net.TCPConn kind of server with your own tiny HTTP/1.0 parser

Yet you complain Go lacks "production ready defaults"? Surely the built-in server would be more battle-tested here, and you can use its existing configurability, rather than having to enjoy the pain of implementing timeouts yourself after your server dies.
I agree with this sentiment, but would add that I'd rather people want to be nice to each other than be forced to be nice to each other. It's a lot more compelling to have reasons why being nice is good than to just tell people to do what we want them to.
The baby (or the fact that it exists and will be born) is purported to be the savior of humanity. Sound familiar?
I have to admit that the world the movie depicts does seem quite prescient from today's perspective and the cinematography is excellent, especially those long single-shot scenes (and that particular scene towards the end of the film that other comments have alluded to), but I personally didn't find the movie to be as exceptional as others seem to. In particular I felt that the plot sort of meandered a bit throughout the middle section of the film and I also felt that the fertility pandemic theme was somewhat underutilized as a concept. Still, the movie is definitely worth a watch.
Very impressive. Certainly going to check it out soon.
I know a couple of people who went through medical school. It is not easy. Being smart certainly makes it easier (to get in as well as getting through all of it), so doctors are selected for intelligence, as well as hard working.

A pretty bizarre opinion at that. They seem to be suggesting that all of those knighted with "fact checker" status should be above criticism/investigation, and anyone who does shine a light at them is just "afraid of the truth."

I happen to think that the founder of Snopes embezzling $98K and spending it on prostitutes is relevant, as it throws their entire journalistic credibility into question.
