So there are 2 meanings, and I read it "funny peculiar". But why is it "funny peculiar"? I think it is right to say Elon Musk is the new Steve Jobs (as in "most popular tech/computer-stuff person for the public"), so working for Tesla has some kind of "coolness" factor and they have good marketing and might beat Google's self-driving endeavors simply via time-to-market (similar to IPhone).

But why is that funny (haha) or funny (strange)? If they can build a self-driving car for the masses Elon Musk will be the uber-tech guy for a whole generation, and Tesla seen as one of the good guys with cool tech.
the boundary is fuzzy, but how much training does a barista require, and how much training is required to call a job unskilled? Even hauling rocks requires requires some training to perform safely and efficiently.

Well, TIOBE's rankings only prove what TIOBE's rankings say. You should examine their methodology and take it for whatever you think it's worth. It does a very specific kind of thing.
I don't know if I can applaud any harder given the way Fark treated its userbase around the whole SJW/GamerGate beginnings. Karma is one trifling bastard.
Memcached is a LRU cache.
I agree with you... What I'm saying is even with someone reporting information from a "privileged position", the Police _still_ need a search warrant to gain that knowledge in a way they could charge someone with a crime.

If Police want to move forward with charges based on information from a paid CI alone, they are certainly able to do so. However, I doubt it happens very often because they know they need evidence collected via the correct legal process.

Hey, I work in a similar space. What has changed over the past five years is remote work. A call center can better fit their input by scheduling employees for a couple hours in a shift, and an employee can be happy with that if they can work that 2 hours from their living room. It looks like a win/win based on the customers I have talked to.
Have you read Vance's biography of Musk? He's definitely a flawed individual in many ways, but I don't think he's fundamentally an egotist. Certainly not to the sociopathic degree many business leaders are.

And I think your categorisation of his work as a tech demo is unfair, and uninformed. SpaceX have built rockets that are delivering satellites into orbit and supplies to the international space station, and have achieved reusability. They have played a significant part in building a private sector space industry. These are not tech demos, they are real things. Can you boast any such achievement in your own life?

Likewise, Tesla have built and sold electric cars that people want. They've created a global re-charging network to supply them. And they've been the first company to deploy significant automation into the automobile market on a large scale. These are not tech demos, any more than the gigafactory rising out o the Nevada desert is.
> Can the sponsor expect a return of their money/goods if sex is not provided?

People can expect anything in any circumstances, but even with traditional prostitution (except, of course, where it is legal and therefore legal contract enforcement is available) you don't get your money back if the seller fails to provide sex. So you can't really use that to draw the line, since a "no" answer would make sugar babies exactly like (illegal) prostitutes.
Doesn't seem like you have an issue writing code, nothing wrong with googling for answers if you apply them correctly. You meet the bar for "Software Engineer" but I'd be skeptical of "Principal Architect", it doesn't sound like you have much experience designing and building complex systems.

I hate the term software engineer though, what most of us do isn't engineering. I stick with the software developer title myself.

> My friends with CS degrees from MIT/Waterloo don't make this much.

CS typically doesn't cover many/most of the real world skills needed for software development. They might learn a lot of stuff you don't know, but very little of it will be applicable in most software development roles. I've worked with CS grads that couldn't code their way out of a paper bag, even if you aren't writing "good" code, it sounds like you're writing functional code, which is infinitely more valuable.
You don't always have to jump to the hype train! Yes, you don't hear much about Dart here on HN, but the project is far from dead. The most important thing is that Dart works, it's stable and production ready and it's being used in production not only by Google but also by other companies.

Dart is a very refreshing change for front-end development. No fatigue! Great tooling, nice language without surprises and optional static typing.

On the backend you get probably the fastests dynamic language out there, maybe competing only with LuaGIT.

The new Flutter for high performance mobile app development looks seriously awesome. I specially love the instant live reloading.

Dart's package ecosystem (pub.dartlang.org) seems healthy with constant updates and new packages.

I have no idea how TIOBE works, but I find weird that people accuse Google of manipulating it to promote Dart. I believe it's the opposite, Google has done very little to promote Dart, and that's why you don't hear about it very often. I believe the project deserves more promotion because it's seriously good. Give it a try one of these days!

EDIT: I do not work for Google
Good points, technical costs are fairly minimal, considering that the court case lists a grand total of 3 operators.

Considering the nature of business, Backpage likely used payments not just as a revenue source, but as a filtering mechanism protecting against excessive spam. Even if you're not in the industry, there's some motivation to post a fake ad just to prank (or shame) someone, play a bad joke on the ex, insert a URL or two to get some free Web traffic, etc. Payment requirement somewhat mitigates the spam/prank/fake threat, which happens to appeal to consumers as well.

I think the intelligence argument is overstated - communications of such nature are typically handled by phone/SMS/temp email anyways, and if someone is worried about their IP being tracked, they are likely to employ Tor or commercial VPN service.
problem.. most people aren't good story tellers.. people are ok decent of at least taking pictures of something to create a story without words.. hence snapchat and instagram stories.
Essentially everything is run from a queue. It's either the public queue (called the Ocean) which runs from most popular on down, or it is the private queue (called the Stream) which runs from oldest to newest. And yes, it should auto-advance when you reach the end of one wave, going straight into the other.
Am I understanding your question correctly?
That's what I call a comprehensive commit comment.
Only one I could find quickly. Also, don't mistake statutory law for case law. There may be relevant case law that significantly expands the concepts contained in a statute.
> Do you think hotels and restaurants can deliver reliable internet without charging for it?

Many do. I've never seen a restaurant charging for Wifi, and I've seen plenty offering it for free. Quality varies, some are good, some suck. Hotels are all over them map, but I just stayed at the hotel that advertises free high quality Wifi (and it indeed was fine) as one of the amenities.

US-centric, of course, in some places I guess it many be too expensive for restaurants to do this.
Yea I found just using plane Dart to work really well. I preferred it over Angular. I had an entire functioning web app in about 80kbs, including all images, html, css, and JS. That was a while back, I'm sure its only gotten better.
I don't want to dog on anyone's language, but any list that purports that Typescript is significantly less popular than Scheme, Haskell, Alice, Lisp, COBOL, Ada, Logo, and a few dozen other languages you probably haven't ever heard of, is a complete waste of time.

I don't even use Typescript and even I know that especially with Angular 2 Typescript is gaining a lot of popularity and it was already doing well before they picked it too. I mean it isn't even on their list in the top 100. How is that possible?

It says that VB.net is more popular than Javascript too. Like that is even possible.
This is completely OT but I just googled about the topic of "solving" Texas Hold'em Poker and other imperfect information games and discovered that one of the contributors to the research on Counterfactual Regret Minimization algorithms, developed at the University of Alberta[0], is Oskari Tammelin[1] who also created, in the late 90s, my favourite piece of music software, Jeskola Buzz[2]. His personal website[3] contains pages on both topics.

Oh interesting. Can you elaborate on those issue are with 40 Gig cards?
Just tried it out, now waiting for the reports.

It'd be nice if they let me sign in with my Google account, so I can generate multiple reports without having to repeatedly type in my email. It seems reasonable to assume that anyone that uses a tool like this would likely have multiple pages or sites they'd want to check, no?
Apple uses a large amount of domains to avoid this problem.
At HN, we're a very small community in a very large profession. Viewing what that larger profession is doing based principally on what you see here is likely to be misleading.
I think this is from the culture at Google. To be clear, I think its perfectly fine to use AI or whatever other innovation - if it works. But to me, so many of their projects seem to be perpetually stuck in alpha/beta release mode and never seem to have all the features and polish to handle all the edge cases (which would require a TON more work).

I honestly thought the project was either dead or terminal. I tried to adopt it for a pet project 3 years ago and never followed through, and I haven't heard much about it since.

Given that what I liked about it most was types and web components, which are pretty robust now with well established tools (Typescript and React), I wonder what's the real allure in Dart as opposed to those seemingly more popular options?

Anecdotally, a university I attended made a huge deal of breaking into the first tier of the US News rankings, and had commemorative pins made and distributed. The administration couldn't not promote it.

A year later, their ranking fell (to a lower tier), and the official line was that US News rankings are not important.

There are a few optimized implementation in the BLAKE2 code package — https://github.com/BLAKE2/BLAKE2. "Ref" indeed doesn't use SIMD, but other implementations do use them. I think the claim that it's faster than MD5 is based on benchmarking SIMD implementations, and if I remember correctly, the reference one is a bit slower.

Yes, endianness conversion — that is, just reading uint64 or uint32 from byte arrays — if done in the most simple way by bit shifting can be a factor. Another factor that influenced performance of pure Go implementation (should be similar to Java) is bounds checking.
Sorry, I guess I mis-read your comment. Feel free to ignore my reply :)
Rust people are very good at marketing and community building and you have experienced it yourself. Which is a great thing, it would be sad for such a promising language to fail because "people just didn't get it".
I don't get it. This is a IBM PC moment right here. Imagine you could standardize the smartphone. Really divide it into block, standardize the communication bus. Make it a PC. It would be huge, eat up the smartphone world, just like the PC ate up the homecomputers.

I even think this is how Google would have beaten the iPhone. Android as the OS for an ever-evolving phone, where if a user needs more ram he would just add more, if he needs a new processor he would just replace the current, if he needs a higher resolution display the old just would get replaced. Of course that is not easy, of course in the beginning a tailor-made smartphone would be slicker, faster. But then you support it some time and you get loyal users upgrading their device instead of even considering something else.

I know there are limits to upgradeability, just as a PC reaches the moment where all that remains from its old incarnation is the case. But still, enabling upgrades and thus removing consumers from the market would be a huge hit to all other smartphone vendors, probably spawning a more targeted parts industry.

And no: The current module system from LG or what Ara was presenting in the end is not it. Adding a new photo lense interests no one. You need to be able to switch out the core components to make an impact. The Fairphone 2 comes close, but I don't think you can drive real core upgrades without controlling the OS, and thus it ends up with a core module. We'll see. If they manage to add things like replacing the display with a better display, the core module with a more powerful one, that might already be good enough.

The one issue I had with Dart, was typing was optional. But at the last DartCon they announced they are creating a strong typed mode, which forces typing and type correctness and it generates higher preforming code. Yay!
What size cutoff would you use for the <style> tag? In other words, at what point is the tradeoff worth it?
Equally possible: the user was posting so many dart articles it was crowding out higher quality non dart stuff from the 'new' queue.

Assuming the moderation action was due to "not liking dart" when we've nothing except the complaining of the newly-banned to substantiate it doesn't strike me as particularly fair.
It's pretty great, actually. You can also set it to run AppleScripts, which can call the shell. I have set up buttons in the touch bar for common tasks such as zipping an archive without .DS_Store crud in Finder, and for AirMail I have a button that creates a folder based on the subject line of the open email thread and saves attachments there. I have no idea how the Touch Bar is supposed to be useful by default, but I'm finding it quite nice with some work.
The amount of public (i.e., taxpayer) funding for public universities has dropped by more than half in the past few decades. The money has to come from somewhere, so many public universities have resorted to increasing the number of out-of-state and foreign students because they pay higher tuition rates. In effect, the out-of-state students now subsidize the in-state students.
Here is their methodology FWIW: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-defin...

I don't know what they are really trying to measure but it seems pretty useless.

I upvoted your comment after I read because I agree with you and the text goes in the opposite direction.
I think that's a bit conspiratoralist.

If dart was popular you'd see the flag being flown in multiple places; you dont. Its not. Even the /r/dart subreddit is dead.

It's not because of some conspiracy to bury dart news; people just don't care.

Community is important.
Probably shouldn't laugh at the new name, but "altaba" really sounds like "ali(baba)'s father" in Chinese...
Yeah. It's an important story and message, but it's not something you want on the homepage. That should be at least one more click deep. That should be its own page, maybe linked in the FAQ or something. I wouldn't have said "dark aura" but I'm struggling to come up with a better description.
> Do you think hotels and restaurants can deliver reliable [[tap water]] without charging for it?

> Is it reasonable to assume that companies that don't charge for [[tap water]] can afford the staff to make sure that users don't abuse it?

Sorry to post the snarky response, but with internet access, as with all shared goods like access to water or noise in a semi-shared space such as a hotel, yes, I do expect they can handle it and not have it be a big deal.
> Most importantly: so long as prostitution is formally illegal, men and women can't be pressured by social norms to participate in sex work.

Untrue, social norms can pressure people into formally illegal acts quite easily, and that absolutely happens with sex work now.

The Ultimate Media Outreach Toolkit [4 Black Books Total]
I can also recommend this. Even in its beta form its still a worthy read. It feels more "rubber on the road" and less formalism. I'm looking forward to the finished book.
What i personally liked is that we write once and in 99.9% cases generated js is compatible with all browsers. Also type checking and strong analyzer mode helped catch ton of bugs. Im sure if you bet your next project on this tech you wont be sorry. Fast code and fast development with webdev batteries included.
Somehow I've never hear of this one, that's quite a ruling:

"Vermont argues that its prohibitions safeguard
medical privacy and diminish the likelihood that marketing
will lead to prescription decisions not in the best interests of patients or the State. It can be assumed that these interests are significant. Speech in aid of pharmaceutical marketing, however, is a form of expression protected by the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. As a consequence, Vermont’s statute must be subjected to
heightened judicial scrutiny. The law cannot satisfy that
standard. "

There are differing levels of skill for a barista. A barista at Starbucks might not need a whole lot of training. A barista at a more high-end coffee shop may need a lot more. It'd be like the difference between a fast-food worker and a chef at a fancy restaurant.

thanks for the suggestion.
I would've liked to see Project Ara continue. I never thought the phone idea was good because the economics didn't seem to make sense. There's no way that a low volume product using expensive parts can compete with the handset makers and carriers on price and finished quality.

The real strength was in the maker space where you can put together components to custom build your own product. Just like a higher level arduino system, you can easily get a lot of functionality without the pain of low level development. There is a lot of potential, especially from the healthcare field, which had a lot of interest in this project. I know of a few people who were working on projects around project Ara before they pulled the plug on it.
'Safe for for now'

Notable I think the NaCl crypto library implements a compare as follows

uint32_t diff_bits = 0;
diff_bits |= x[0] ^ y[0];
...
diff_bits |= x[31] ^ y[31];
return (1 & ((diff_bits - 1) >> 8)) - 1;

This because memcmp() leaks timing information. And implementing it with a for loop also leaks.

Longer term worry is the optimizer will figure the above out as well.

I can't speak for what enraged_camel is thinking about. What pops into my mind is how you have the feds coming down on you in all locations. With states, you might just dodge the ones that are corrupt enough to consider your actions crimes. Keep a distance or sneak through them. If it's federal, you're screwed wherever you go with likely worse sentence on top of it. The federal cases also bring better-trained cops and equipment to the situation than many local jurisdictions.
i think strong typing generates same code as optional typing if you are not using dart dev compiler.
That's all fine but this is decided law. The states could fight and potentially the Supreme Court could overturn precedent, but as of right now the federal government is 100% in control of the legality of marijuana nationwide.

I actually don't see the Supreme Court overturning this precedent because it's relevant to too many other cases, such as outlawing fully automatic weapons. It's far more likely that congress could repeal or reduce its own regulations and leave this to the states. Supposedly both major parties should want this, since the right talks about states rights and the left want marijuana legalized for its own sake.

>> Great. I hope my medical data is sold so they can use it to improve my healthcare.

Me too. But I also would like to at the very least know who has my data. I'd also like to know what they're doing with it that isn't part of anyone working to improve my healthcare. I'd like to know when it's part of a data breach as well. I'd like to know where it's bought and sold, and who is correlating it with other data sets.

If it's used to improve my healthcare, GREAT! If it's commoditized and sold off again and again, then stolen, and sold and resold... I don't know if that's so great.

I don't know how we make it available for the GREAT, and keep it out of all that other stuff.
