No, bars were not standardised at all!

One could interpret placement of barlines as something close to paragraph markers -- not all the time, but often enough that they seem to indicate specific intent.
> You can look at something like Bitcoin as a textbook example. The thinking was that by making a simplified model of money, money can be replaced, and the government (authority) circumvented. In reality, money is not just numbers in a ledger, and when you take away one authority you institute others.

Do we believe that the author of bitcoin has any ability to control Bitcoin other than releasing it or any way to compel adoption of bitcoin beyond advocating for it the way any of us could advocate for it?

If they are lacking those abilities they have just provided an alternative which dilutes the authority of traditional money without adding any authority themselves.

I may not understand where you are coming from, if so I apologize.

I think Universal Angular was designed to address that issue with server-side rendering:

It hasn't received much attention from the community apart from the occasional keynote presentation and it is not linked anywhere on the official documentation for Angular 2. However, the description now says "Current Status: Merging Universal into Angular core".

If no browsers had support out of the box and even plugins were hard to come by (browsers could actively prevent running anything it thinks is a flash plugin..) the problem might go away.
Lots of interesting and useful comments in this thread. It looks to me like Flash will remain a nightmare for Adobe until the company gives in and releases their source code to the public. Once that happens, their developers can get involved in supporting it and keeping it secure.

I spent some time trying to figure out what happened to Shumway, a while ago. As far as I can make out, Mozilla figured out that with the amount of resources they could afford to put into Shumway, by the time it reached the point where it could generally play most Flash content, nobody would be making Flash content anymore so it wouldn't be a notable feature for Firefox.

There's definitely still value in something like Shumway for viewing legacy, historical content, just like there's legacy in browsers being able to view old Geocities pages. But it's never going to be a feature of significant commercial value.
However there are some devices that are already capable of using Galileo. Recent Qualcomm chips and tomtom devices are I think.
Picture a piece for 3 players -- 2 soprano instruments and Basso Continuo (a bass instrument + let's say, harpsichord). It's a piece with a recurring harmonic structure; say, Passamezzo or ciacona -- think Pachelbel Canon.

The BC in this particular instance might only have barlines every 8 measures. The soprano parts might have barlines every 8 measures too, but might also have them where a significant change to their melodies change. Like, when a flurry of 16th notes begin to crop up.

Now, this isn't always the case -- it's definitely inconsistent, but such things show up enough that those hints cannot be discounted at all, and seem to be enough of a performance hint to at least be noted and appreciated by the performer.
I don't think I get deconstruction at a reasonable level. Every time it's brought I feel like I can't follow the argument.

There are many type of bacteries on human skin, but body odor seems to be caused by E. Coli[1].

I found at least one study showing that coconut oil _extract_ has negative effect on E. Coli growth[2]. Of course, this is not same as using virgin coconut oil.

There's also a study[3] showing that Coconut Oil may boost the growth for some other bacteria.

Anyway, personally I've found it to work, whatever the mechanism is.

The only successful desktop UNIX derivative is MacOS. That ship has sailed.

However the most relevant computing devices for consumers are phones and tablets nowadays, not desktops. UNIX derivatives run almost all of them. Big success, I'd say.

UNIX derivatives are running most servers too and are making inroads into the Windows desktop. The outlook is good unless a new popular market suddenly open with no meaningful *nix presence in it.
Looks like the evil robots off Robocop!!
I don't think both of us have solid enough knowledge in user/consumer psychology but FWIW, I think this would incite a much more violent reaction.

Emit a sound, you say? I can mute everything with a press of two-keys combo in half a second. Banner? People go out of their way to silence the Windows 10 updates in general. People who weren't technical decide to become technical just to "get back at Microsoft". Look it up, it's all out there in the internet for the future generations to collectively shake their heads in shame.

So you know, if Homo Sapiens wasn't what it was you would actually be right. But facts and history aren't on your side I am afraid.

Finally, I think Microsoft had to introduce at least one small leverage on the users to tempt/strongarm them to actually buy the higher licenses of Windows 10 where you can control the update times.

Windows is the most widespread consumer OS. I don't think it's so villainous that they give you 95% for free and ask for money if you want the other 5%.
The presentation claims that Swift offers "progressive disclosure of complexity", but I don't really buy the argument. "Progressive disclosure of complexity" works when you are learning a language and writing code, because you choose what language features you use. But it doesn't work when you read code written by someone else.
Аuthor points out that part of the hacker ethics always was unethical (to many) "the end justifies the means". And she warns the wannabes to think twice before accepting that.

Also she reminds that there are always live world and live people behind any computer or mathematical model, and all models are incomplete by definition.
There are some already capable, but they'll need a firmware upgrade. Recent Qualcomm chips for phones do at least.
I don't get it, aren't there free (and open source) Flash players besides Adobe's?

Google Chrome doesn't use Adobe's Flash player, for instance, but a player called PepperFlash.

Adobe could very well discontinue developing their player, and just tell people to use an open source version. They could make it a marketing stunt by open sourcing their player for user freedom or some stuff like that.
So does that mean it's likely just the heat and steam room/sunbathing and stuff will likely trigger the same mechanisms?
Personally, I think this a great thing for creatives and researchers, knowing they can spend as much time as they need to create real value for people without having to think of revenue or investors profits.

Ask HN: What is happening to JavaScript with ES6 and friends?
I've been working on a redesign of one of my websites, which is built with Node.js using Express.js. I've recently also been playing around with TypeScript, and was starting to like it, until the unpleasant stuff below.

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, or at least offer some insight to the below.

- NPM is great, but why are we now installing web dependencies with it? Bootstrap, Material-Components, etc. I know that there are still "traditional ways" of either using a CDN or downloading a local copy. I've avoided NPM for a while until I wanted to use Google's Material-Components-Web thing. My confusion here's because node_modules is private, so how do I correctly load a front-end asset by referring to node_modules?

- Suggestions for the above were to copy what's installed to a public/static folder, but NPM just spills everything all over the node_modules root now, so how would I know what depends on what?

- There's been the Browserify, CommonJS, RequireJS, WebPack et al. movement, where we are now using "require" and "import" to load modules. I understand the desire to do that, but why is it so complicated for front-end? I created a simple TypeScript file under my public assets, I require/import something, and then when I go to the browser, I get an error about require being undefined. I go to RequireJS website, and have to now learn the nuances of this library before I can get productive. Why should I have to load dozens of dependencies before loading a Hello World with some JavaScript? Is ES5 that broken?

While I appreciate the work that everyone's doing with JavaScript, I really feel like we're taking something fun and "easy" and complicating it. I've been teaching beginner programmers ES5 and earlier at work, and was planning on moving onto ES6 once I'm comfortable with the stuff I've been avoiding, but I'm inclined to change my mind so far.

I really hope someone can shed some light on this :)
I understood what you meant, that's why I disagreed. :)

> but to say he was a bad CEO because he didn't sell at the right time is akin to...

My point is exactly this. This, in hardware startups at least, is probably the most important trait of all, at the end of the day. Everything is a wave. You need to take the photos and jump while you are on the top of it, otherwise you are swallowed by it further down the "road".

Knowing when the wave is at its max (before breaking) is as important in surfing as in business, apparently.

Jumping trough hoops to make something work does not constitute 'iPad Pro is, by far, the best computer I've ever owned'.
That is an admirable job, thank you. I may or may not have gained some new insight. But I feel unqualified to decide one way or the other. But I did enjoy the pictures.

I think people would be fine with shutting down the study - but why remote shut down the devices? That's going too far.

I must be honest, my experience with node was very short but this article suggests me that working with js may be really more complicated than working with java. Too many frameworks (which often lives too shortly), too many things to learn, it's overwhelming...sometimes it seems to me that working with js has become so difficult that working with java and jquery is still easier and better (i know lot of people will throw me hate for this comment!)
Nice! Thanks for the sources

Why? I remember using a simple program in 2000 to see how many moves were canonically required, and most positions I came up with were resolved in 13 moves.

On the other hand, I would have thought 19 steps were enough because they already cover the full space of positions. To wit: There are 12 possible choices at each step, 19 steps cover 12^19 possibilities, which is 8 times more than the 43,000,000,000,000,000,000 positions.
Are you honestly arguing that algorithms of the current AI wave may possess consciousness? Or that they are comparable to a cat?

I have no hold ups with programmatic intelligence. I just don't think it has been created yet. Our best attempts are incredibly faint shadows of the general purpose intelligence of living creatures.

There have been some great advancements with targeted AI for specific problems. But these approaches don't involve approaching the world holistically or with any high powered general adaptability. They fail calamitously if the parameters in which they operate are barely tweaked and are no more aware than my microwave.

I have been thinking more and more these days that it may be very difficult for a general intelligence to arise without a comprehensive, coherent world model that is developed over time through interactive, direct experience in the world.
If you're going to do that, you should at least read the context in which the word is used. She doesn't say anything "feminist" whatsoever. If you have nothing nice to say, it's best not to react with a sexist comment like this where one is not due.

The fact that your very first instinct upon seeing an article posted by a woman, is to dig in and try to prove that the article must be about feminism, simply because the author is a woman... holy shit.

It's people like you that fuel the militaristic kind of feminism we see today. You explicitly seek to lash out against all women, regardless of the situation. Grow up and pull your head out of your ass.
In London, deliveroo is one of the most visible examples of this. I see them on every road, rushing through traffic so they can make minimum wage.

Sure enough, they have accidents as a result, again, something I see on an almost daily basis. They get no sick pay if this happens, no support whatsoever from deliveroo. So they get back on their bike, injured, and carry on working, as they have no choice.

They also get a lot of abuse from drunk customers in the late evening. Again, they just grin and bear it and carry on.

This is the definition of exploitation.

It's thoroughly depressing, almost Dickensian.
To people who funded this, why ? There are some established products already on that market, why buy into a crowdfunding campaign when you can buy the same thing from established vendors ? why take the risk ? reminds me all these drone campaigns (like Zano and co), you can go on the internet, buy a drone, and even send it back if it doesn't work properly, if you buy it from Amazon or Ebay. With crowd funding you'll pay then wait years to get your products if it ever comes and by the time it is there you can get the exact same product, even cheaper from honest vendors. I don't understand why people choose to bear all the risk without some form of compensation. But I'd like to understand. I'm not talking about indie video games or an music album that needs funding, but crowd funding tech products in general.

> You might think getting a "BahnCard 100" (a 100% discount card that costs ~€400/month) might be worth it if you travel a lot but if you routinely travel by train you'll also likely have to rely on public transport at your destination but bus and tram are often not part of the deal (i.e. no discount is applied whatsoever).

> The incentive structure that is created when you take resources from producers to award to non-producers.

I'm sorry, but this is idealogical nonsense. The classic 'non-producer' is the rentier. Quite the opposite of what you seem to be implying (i.e. that the needy are the 'non-producers').
It would be great if street parking everywhere were priced to pay for the land it used. Free (or very cheap) street parking (and also large parking space requirements for businesses) has to be one of the worst imaginable land uses: creates traffic, makes road design less friendly to pedestrians/cyclists/buses, undercuts paid parking structures, wastes incredible amounts of space.

It’s really nice that the commercial street near me in SF has started allowing businesses to replace parking spaces with public parklets. Much better use of space.

"7 habits" by Steven Covey. Read it 20 years back. Amazed how it is still useful.
There is no other way to define this except that it is socialism brewing here. In that light, I'd like to refer you to the words of Milton Friedman, 'If you want to learn the truth about socialism, look at how people vote with their feet'. People always leave socialist nations when their inevitable collapse occurs.

Please folks, I'd like to urge you to reconsider such initiatives. Take a look at these two articles about how this kind of mindset has ruined lives in Venezuela:

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-06-06/socialism-...

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/12/17/world/americas/ap...

From the articles:

For many Americans, it's a news story piped in from a faraway place. For me? It's my friends and family who are suffering at the hands of an increasingly powerful and paranoid dictatorial regime. As a kid growing up in Caracas, I remember the difficult decision my parents had to make when Hugo Chavez attempted his coup and took over shortly thereafter.

The force that is driving Venezuela into the ground is socialism.

In the midst of this chaos, I see people in the United States – most of whom have never known a life outside of the abundance available to them as a result of our market economy – gravitating toward socialism like it's some natural force for good. As reported in these pages, a recent survey shows that nearly 60 percent of 18 to 26 year-olds believe socialism is the "most compassionate system."

socialism operates under the assumption that an insulated leader and his legion of bureaucrats are the best judges of what people are worth.

And the most important part:

Socialism assumes that government officials are more qualified than individuals to decide how much a person should earn, which products and services are necessary for that person to live and how much that person should have to pay for them.

It is heartbreaking to see such a contributor like Kenneth Reitz in conferences. I really enjoy using Kenneth Reitz's creation : I would like to see him smile.

He is probably in the top 10% of the developers, he does not profit of his talent as much as an idiot that just code shit.

When I sample over the vast majority of free software coder I know (100s) over the non free one (~same) and I compare the wealth/recognition I can't help but notice that for some of the 1% top FOSS devs you do have a breakthrough, but then, blind obedience seems to give more results in terms of social and wealth status.

Something is rotten in the state of coding.

My advice: don't make free software enjoy life, and close your ears to the voice of the voice of the crowd open them to the one you care about.

And if you really want to make FOSS code, do it like others do knitting, pastry, moonshining, brewery.

Keep the fun in your life.
