Your comment was flagged by users due to the reasons I mentioned. Vouching makes it visible again.

I'm fairly certain there is some form of language barrier at play here which is why myself and many others have been trying to engage with you rather than dismissing your messages.

You have a lot of people reacting negatively to the tone and language you used in your post; insisting on phrasing such as "hippie logic" and just generally taking a negative stance in the replies.

I want to highlight this: nobody here is getting offended at your posts. Likewise, nobody talking to you about tone is calling out the meat of your argument.

You replied to a post further down saying "The validity of an argument is absolutely independent of the messenger". Yet, that post did not question the validity of your argument. It questioned the language you used, which is entirely dependent on the messenger.

MaulingMonkey already tried explaining this to you: this is a super ineffective debate technique. You're getting people to flag your post instead of getting them to read it. HN is not a community that rewards "who speaks the loudest".

I also understand you may genuinely think it's "hippie logic" and in your view, you're just "telling it like it is" by calling it so. Let me put it this way: In my view, believing in an all-knowing all-loving deity is crock. But if I'm engaging a theist especially if I'm going to debate with them, I'm going to respect them and their viewpoint even if I don't believe or disagree with it. And here, you may well be engaging with people who believe in that hippie logic; if you want to convince them otherwise, not using that language will go a long way to get your point across.

Hi,
I'm the author of this project. The code will be available soon on github: at https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news - right now that's the old version using Angularjs

The project uses as a starting point the amazing Vuejs Implementation from https://github.com/vuejs/vue-hackernews-2.0 . It has super fast server side rendering, that's why the feedback is imediate as you load the page.

The thumbnails are generated using phantomjs server. I'm using https://github.com/blockai/phantom-pool to make sure the phantomjs instance is reused. This improves the speed of the screenshots quite well.
Also I'm using a scheduling node package (https://github.com/Automattic/kue) to make sure that images are pre cached as the link are submited to hackernews.

I'll post the code on https://github.com/valentinvieriu/vue-hackernews-2.0, but need to take care of some hardcoded redis credentials first. I'll give a reply when it's up

Thank you for the interest! I'll do my best to reply to all questions if there is interest on this project.
There seems to be a lot of negative press around the rise in value of Bitcoin. The FT's article - comparing the market cap of Bitcoin to the trillions of dollars traded in fiat currencies - was shameful.

Bitcoin is not a country it is a movement, that has a technology product at it's core - to this end it should be celebrated, not derided as not as big as USD. Especially when the big currencies are being devalued daily, facing so much pressure that they have to use QE to stay viable!

China is a big factor in this and bitcoin must seem like a fun game to play for those countries with vast USD reserves and deep technology resources to match.

I hope that people embrace the individual and open source nature, rather than just use a shallow 'currency' comparison with established systems.
They are still using many unsafe blocks and there was an use-after-free before :P
So, than cargo needs to be improved so that there is a set of dependency values (name, version, rustc version, etc) that can guarantee the uniqueness of a binary library.

To me it seems FOSS undervalues the value of binary libraries in the enterprise, or how they get used in many corporations or companies selling components.

Rust improved safety is a good thing™, but not at the expense of continuously seeing the same libraries being compiled over and over, vs reusing binary artifacts across projects.

But it's in no way shape or form fraud.

If I "accidentally" visit my own website while I have this extension active it'll cause any adverts to be clicked and I'll earn money from them. Unless the plugin has a way to block the action on adverts that the browser user receives money from it's indistinguishable from deliberate click fraud - all Google knows is that the browser used a programmatic event instead of a user initiated click.

To that end I can see why Google might want to disabled it. I hope they'll also reach out to the developers to come up with a workable solution rather than just blocking it permanently though. Google have an opportunity to show they do actually care about privacy on the web here.
ReStructuredText with Sphinx is wonderful. The syntax isn't the most intuitive, however once you have overcome this small hurdle, it can boost your productivity enormously.

In terms of deployment, using Sphinx enables you to easily deploy to readthedocs.io, or github pages.

Since it is a static site generate, it also enables you to use bootstrap, any javascript front-end library you wish to use, so nothing stops you from having web-application type behaviour and interactions in your posts. It also integrates nicely with extensions, such as mermaid, to make graphs inline with your posts. It can include code snippets from code, offers syntax highlighting and a lot more.

Wow - it actually made "new" look interesting to me. When I look at "new" on classic HN, the "0 point 0 comments" and expectation of low quality means I rarely click anything. This drew me into interesting articles I would not otherwise read. Great - very valuable!

The title is nearly always visible on the rendered page. The overlayed title adds a lot of extra noise that is spoiling the browsing experience for me. Can you make it optional or on-hover please? I also don't want points/comment prejudicing my judgement of whether a story is worth reading. I feel the unique value this brings for "new" is to get you closer to the content "pre-click" and help you evaluate a page/story on its own merits. I still prefer classic HN for "top" where I'm interested in the discussion more than the stories.

The compiler may also assume undefined behaviour can happen, and do something documented, that programmers would probably expect.

Even though the standard imposes no specific requirements, it explicitly calls that out at something you could do: http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c11/n1570.html#3.4.3

But for some reason nobody seems to ever think this is an option.

Why Deep Learning Needs Assembler Hackers
We cannot call that foo as (foo) either, so we have nothing. We have to do something in foo to make currying work. If (foo 1) is required to return a unary function, of course we support (foo 1 2) which passes 2 to that function.

Here is the problem case:

(defun foo (x)
(unknown x))

Suppose unknown can return a function of any number of arguments. The developer of foo doesn't know how many.
If it returns a five-argument function, you expect the call (foo 1 2 3 4 5 6) to work.

Basically, we can make foo n-ary such that it calls unknown with the first arg, and passes the rest to the function that unknown returns.

A subtlety not mentioned in the thread is that (x) and x are distinct in Lisps. Applying an empty argument list is different from not applying arguments.

The combo is high yield, fast growth, good price and dense areas (as in, you can serve your market on a bike). I did not yet run the numbers, but I think it can be profitable. Take rucola, which grows very fast, if you can make 0.5kg per square meter every 2 weeks, then it's eur ~1.25 (1kg = ~5 euros) per square meter per week. With 10,000 m2, it's eur 12.5k per week. 10,000 m2 is a 100x100m square - not much, you can probably rent that much worth of loan in residential areas and pay in vegetables (1 box per week, etc.).

I think this is pretty doable. Go to market is pretty much done. Good story for being local, etc. Probably even tastier product if you know how to play with a greenhouse.

No, everyone does not do that and the rest of the world does not work that way. This train of thought is specific to capitalism (not to be confused with free market). Most large companies do a few things well and everything else mediocre or poorly. Most small companies do a few things well and everything else poorly.

The difference is a small company recognizes it can't afford to do those things poorly and won't pursue it. Large companies will keep dumping money into bad, poorly planned products. See Apple and cloud, Google and everything not Pagerank, Microsoft and mobile.

The world has more small companies than large ones.

Mozilla started as a big rewrite of Communicator 4, which was then open-sourced at an early stage. It wasn't great because it concentrated a bit too much on rewriting underpinnings (XUL, Gecko etc), resulting in a relatively poor UI.

Eventually a skunkwork project was started to drop all non-browser components and focus on user UI, and that became Firefox.

Private (a.k.a. non-exported) functions affect how the compiler optimizes code, at least around inlining.
Yes, the system lives around the idea of tasks taking 25 minutes or being able to break down into chunks of 25 minutes. But the trick (in my opinion) to not be overwhelmed trying to fit this method into your workflow, is to use this on everything because not all the tasks, like meetings, will fit this method. But rather use this only in a small block of the day (2-3 hours), where you can be more quite, to tackle all the tasks that have little or no dependency on other people.
There would be a huge number of possibilities given the size and sparsity of the redactions. It's not just words being redacted, but numbers.

I am not a doctor, but from reading, there are many different cells and cancers (ways for these cells to misbehave but still not being killed by the body).

Google seems to be quite fond of partnering with a hardware manufacturer when they roll out new ideas on the software side. I guess it’s one of the sweeteners they offer when trying to entice companies to sign up to a new product roadmap: “if you’ll make something like this then we’ll give you 3/6 month exclusivity on features X/Y/Z”

I imagine the Chromebooks that were slated to get Android App support will get it in a few months when whatever deal Google has with Samsung expires.

> You realise an isomorphism is actually a well-defined mathematical concept, right?

I think a prime example of how words loose their precise mathematical meaning is the word "function". It has a precise definition in maths but we programmers use it often with a different meaning. We used to have the terms "subroutine" and "procedure" for what we use "function" for nowadays. We even came up with the term "pure function" to refer to the original mathematical meaning of "function".
It's not really that clear cut tbh. The blocked ones are well known (you can google it) but what you also have are things like:

* throttling of all foreign internet at particular times
* effective blocks on sites because they load dependencies from blocked sites.
* Temporary local blocking (e.g. It's easier and reliable from my home internet to load reddit, but from a coffee shop 1km away it's noticeably less reliable)
* interrupting of pageloads based on keywords. e.g. if you try download a page from a non-blocked domain that features keywords "free tibet" then the connection will get interrupted.
Yeah, that's my impression too. And exposing the actually pretty fragile business model of Google and others. All they can do is hope that major browsers don't build these features into their browsers; it'd risk wreaking havoc on ad click valuation / ad pricing.
Yeah, most posts in HN Frontpage with Rust/C/C++ seemd to have a "never Write c(or the baddest: C++!!) in 2k16!1! Its useless because of Rust!"-comment.

Yes. But the point is any unsafe code can be reviewed separately and be subject to more stringent checking than the majority of code which is safe.

I've been looking at the HTML parser they are writing (servo/html5ever) which is incredibly impressive and parses the hideous Daily Mail homepage in my tests in < 30ms. It uses the tendril library which contains lots and lots of unsafe code, but this library is set out to do a very specific thing which is make parsing strings much much more efficient. This is a design tradeoff that is desirable; as long as tendril can be shown to be robust it's a good decision over a slower parser.

True to a degree, but I only had to put a few hours into bash and I haven't found anything I can't do. I've spent a fair amount on PowerShell and keep running into hurdles. I found no less than 5 ways to add text from a certain process to a file. PS did it, but something like 800x slower than Python and Perl. The only fast way I can find is a direct C# implementation in PS using streams. Why so harsh? There is a lot I like such as being able to build GUI's faster than anything out there (except Red or Rebol), but the language fights you at every step. I was aware that mostly everything was supposed to be an object. This is great for certain IT work, but just adds complexity for others. I have to then hunt for properties I want like "-property name" and it usually ends up as another rabbit hole.
