There have been a number of posts about this movie on HN, many of them interesting https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Arrival&sort=byDate&prefix=fal...

Some of them address the linguistic side of the movie.
Server-side rendering just means generating the HTML that will be displayed by the browser, entirely on the server, and then returning it in response to some request. This is as opposed to the model where your initial request returns a minimal bit of HTML and a big load of Javascript, and from there on the Javascript dynamically re-renders the HTML based on the response from AJAX calls. This is generally described as having a "single page application" or SPA.

In reality, apps can be a blend of both approaches. Which model you use is up to you. And I'm not an expert on the front-end stuff, so I wouldn't feel comfortable making a recommendation, to be honest. All I'll say is that, to me, server-side rendering is more intuitive and straighforward to implement and it's what I usually do since I'm not primarily a front-end specialist.
Because one is scalable (using motivation) and the other (directive) is not.

You simply can't pretend that "getting someone to do what they don't want to do" is motivation unless there is some changing of heart/mind there - now that's the leadership part.
Not saying this is the case here, but the answer is by bankruptcy and continual capital investments.

Let's assume that some small number of airlines continually make small profits (or at least break even). That creates a non-negative balance.

However, let's assume that a number of other airlines are frequently being established and receiving capital investment, before ultimately failing and declaring bankruptcy.

If the losses those airlines represent outweigh the positive balance from our successes, then the industry loses money, despite some players continuing to exist.

To take it further: if you assume people keep making capital investments with capital drawn from other industries, it's possible that the industry continues to exist even whilst no company generates profits in the long term.
Anything in common among the three?
When a previous company I had previously worked at (and owned equity in) was acquired by Oracle - I described like this to a friend:

"It's like finding out your daughter got married to Kim Jong-il, you're happy for her - but you're not looking forward to family events."
Django releases tend to add useful features/optimizations, and have very light upgrade effort. Most devs will WANT to upgrade to the latest stable.
>they would need to either spend less on education (and consequently become less prestigious)

Given many studies (notably Google's) showing that school performance is not a good indicator of future performance. Is losing prestige such a bad thing? It would be if the prestige was correlated with significantly smarter and better performing graduates.

But if the prestige only comes from being associated with higher class individuals, all you are losing is a false-positive signal.

For the sake of an argument, yes. However, Manning has a played very significant role in history and to fully understand that role we must understand the person, and why that person in particular chose to do what so many others in that same place did not.

However, if this assessment is correct, then I am surprised Manning even made PFC. Thats the story I would like to hear.
Fair enough. I simply meant that Go's semantics let you reason about what lives on the stack vs what lives on the heap much like you can in Rust (though in Rust it's clearer still because there is no escape analysis at all). While you don't need to know from a correctness perspective, you can reliably reason about what will live on the stack vs heap in a way you can't in, say, Java.

I've been using LP as a paid user for several years now, and was really annoyed when they were absorbed by LogMeIn. My main issue is this: while there are several alternatives to LP, there don't seem to be as many which have the same or similar features while ALSO integrating YubiKey's OTP functions. I bought a YubiKey because of LastPass, and slowly integrated it into my workflows. I really like it as a second factor, and the additional capabilities (such as storing secrets for TOTP, etc.) make it nearly indispensable.

Last I checked (over a year ago), 1Password wasn't terribly interested in adding it as a feature, and while there was a KeePass extension which implemented HOTP-based 2nd factor, I never got it to work reliably. Is there ANY service which integrates the YubiKey as well as LP does? I'm more tied to that than I am to LP.

Unrelated to the initial post, but here's a recent LP annoyance: on January 9, LP pushed an update to the Chrome extension which broke the version 3.0 view (which looked like a filesystem), forcing users to move to their 4.0 view if they wanted to use the extension. According to a user commenting on the support tab in the Chrome store, "you deleted the min.js file from your extension but your lastpass version 3 view still needs this file. cant even manually copy it back because chrome then thinks its malware. keep up the good work!"

I can't speak to the veracity of the comment, but LP's forum was pretty active, and admins essentially said "don't use 3.0" as a fix. Support tickets mentioned they were aware of the issue, but not much else. To be fair, LP did say they would eventually deprecate the 3.0 view, but there was little communication about the recent update, making it seem like they don't really give a shit. I don't like their 4.0 view; it's less efficient, and more interested in making things look pretty.

You could say that is what happened to earth.
Well, you haven't to be a soldier to be a hero.
Systemic covers both formal and informal systems.
I really wonder how much of it was timing. Startups with very little to lose aren't going to pay for support contracts on open source software. That takes established companies with SLAs, or quantified dollars lost per minute of downtime, or companies that just can't hire fast enough and too much work to do to bother with investigating DB issues.

But these companies that would pay aren't going to roll out new products on a database only a few folks have heard of.

Let's suppose in an alternate universe Slava had made Rethink his hobby project and it had taken ten years to get to where it is today. Even then, companies that had taken a gamble on it may still be a few years out from where the survivors can (and it would make economic sense to) buy a support contract, but their runway would have potentially carried them into the sweet spot of having early adopters become paying customers.
So as a veteran I can certainly remember the annoying kids in basic training that couldn't really keep up. I think every veteran can remember some folks they went to training with that could barely hack it.

But what's the point of harping on it years later? I don't think anyone would be surprised that Manning was a 'bad soldier'.

Then there is a bunch totally unrelated stuff that happened much later, took a huge amount of courage, and led to arrest and imprisonment.
Just because someone has an "agenda" doesn't mean it is insidious or disingenuous. Everyone has an "agenda".

This cynical attitude is so toxic because it masquerades as "critical thinking" when in fact all it does it simple contradiction and negation. Like, what is your evidence? That you never "bought" into it? Give me a break. Have you ever met a trans person? Have you ever talked to someone going through gender dysmorphia? It's a heartbreaking, serious condition. This is someone's life, someone who was given an extreme sentence that is way beyond any precedent or any sense of justice considering their crimes.

Your pseudo-intellectual posturing disgusts me. HN is getting more and more of these cranks by the day, might be time for me to leave.

Airline regulations were totally different.

The point of those regulations were to ensure universal service and stability of service. It was an outgrowth of passenger rail regulatory frameworks, which emerged after the abuses inflicted by the railroads in the 20th century.

The absence of regulation has been good & bad. Prices are cheaper, but the service levels are horrific and the airline businesses aren't very sustainable.
It's not just "cruise control", it's "adaptive cruise control". From the report PDF (emphasis theirs):

I never got used to having variables sandwiched inside a type. I know I am not supposed to suggest out-of-the-box, but why can't we add a new syntax, e.g.:

return_type Fn(parameters) var;
typedef return_type Fn(parameters) TypeName;

where Fn is a new keyword -- or not, if compiler understands dummy syntax -- (I would suggest &lambda; when using greek letters in code become norm).

It simplifies the C syntax a lot IMHO.

PS: now I am out-of-the-box, maybe this is better:

Fn{return_type, param1, param2} *var;
"One Second After" is often suggested reading about what those issues might look like. Like many books in the genre, it's interesting but the political leanings of the author quickly become apparent.

Personally I'd love to see a "World War Z" style novel about the impact of space weather.

But if Uber is banking on autonomous vehicles none of this matters, because once there are autonomous vehicles providing sufficiently supply is purely a capital problem, and capital problems are relatively easy to solve if there are sufficient profits to be made. And if there aren't sufficient profits to be made, then Uber isn't a very attractive business.
Pretty certain he meant it the way I quoted it.
How curious you mention Bruno Vassel... I watched a number of his videos this week (and yes, @ fullscreen HD 1080 video it is mesmerizing!!). My goal was preparation for taking a new R/C model plane out for a maiden flight (a 3 meter ASW28). My hope was to glean some slope soaring tips. While I learned a lot and it helped me with my soaring, let me just say, he is highly skilled and makes it all look very easy and relaxing.

Soaring 100 miles without engine power is impressive. Doing so while literally feet away from a craggy mountain slope without freaking out, and taking the time to share some of the most beautiful scenery and sky one's ever likely to see with us is a real gift.

The part where he does loops to entertain some boy scout troops hiking along a mountain was joyful.

The swastika has been used as religious symbol for millennia before the Nazis adopted it. The Confederate flag was created specifically to represent a secessionist movement aiming to maintain the practice of slavery. The two situations are not nearly the same.
Tangentally related, I find it interesting that we often call people lucky when something very bad happened to them, but they somehow managed to survive the situation or land on their feet. We aren't as keen to describe people as lucky who avoided danger entirely.

Lone survivor in a plane crash? Lucky. Took a cruise instead? Meh.

Personally I think it's preferable to not be in the crash, than to have survived it.
> A car isn't much of a status symbol when most of your friends can't afford a nice one either. Kinda makes you look like a dick, in comparison.

Isn't that exactly what makes it a status symbol? Keeping up with the Joneses, and all -- it's one thing to not play the game, but that doesn't mean a lot of people don't, and this seems to just be agreeing with what makes it a status symbol.

Most American cities are sufficiently un-dense that things like "always having to look for parking" aren't big deals. Laws ensure places have enough spaces (these policies are very pedestrian-unfriendly, but such places are more car-friendly than the dense coastal cities). Traffic is slower at rush hour but a non-issue any other time in these places.

The average car these days lasts 10+ years. Perpetually renting cars is going to be seen as disadvantage for a lot of people who take out ~5 year loans and then can keep the cars for quite a while after finishing off their payments. Anecdotally I'd wager that people buy new cars more for the status, or for the change of having something new, than to replace something that just doesn't work anymore, nowdays.

What other car company can even recover the airbag deployment rate per mile?
This is possible thanks to Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

In most countries when you go bankrupt, you go out of business. In the US you usually go into Chapter 11. This lets you default on some of your debt, renegotiate contracts, and then come out of bankruptcy stronger than before.

The problem with this is shown with airlines. They would all make a profit if they could just lose some of them. Unfortunately whenever that looks like it might happen, the loser goes into Chapter 11, enjoys a competitive advantage, recovers, and comes out of it stronger. Then someone else goes bankrupt.
I found your post very compelling. I have tried messing around with the APL derivatives (J and K and Q), but never created anything substantial.

>It sounds like you just wish they were more like you? Isn't this the kind of mentality that prevents diversity?

Using your definition of diversity, yes. I think that part of the point in making is that people maintain diversity as the ultimate goal. If it's directly harmful to the more characteristic goals of your grad program or company, is it really worth it? (I'm not advocating for discrimination, but using fewer visas isn't discrimination.)

>I actually hate when teams go to pubs because it just marginalizes people who can't/don't drink, god forbid there are any recovering alcoholics or people allergic to it.

Meh. I don't think drinking should be the only group activity, but a little alcohol goes goes a long way in getting people comfortable with one another.

>It's our job to make them feel welcome and like they can express themselves in this country.

I generally agree with this. However, many of these people seem to have little interest in American culture, and wealthy leftists seem intent on pumping as many immigrants into the US as possible. For example, many STEM grad programs are completely overrun by Southeast Asian and East Asian students who did undergrad in their home countries. IME, these programs have a small minority of Americans and are absolutely abysmal socially. The professors tend to be SJW's, which makes me think that they don't want to acknowledge the consequences of this, although it may just be hard to find qualified American applicants.
This is worrying sign when they are trying to change things through branding...
This article is about things Manning had done before, and may help someone understand the disclosure to Wikileaks in the context of the individual's other actions.

Do you think the leak should be judged in isolation? It seems very difficult to judge any one act in isolation, as one cannot interpret whether the action was motivated by justice, loyalty, attention-seeking, or other motives.

About 10 years ago, I used something of that description with a Lego Mindstorms robot. The project site (looking at the Wikipedia page, we must've been using Lejos NXT) had API documentation like the Sun site did, links to their cut-down JDK, etc. I don't remember if we flashed the controller brick with a custom firmware, or if the JRE was linked into the class files produces by compilation, but it worked nicely for our purposes.

For reference, the NXT v1 brick has an ARM-based Atmel microcontroller with a clock of ~55MHz, 256KB of flash, and 64KB of RAM, along with a smaller ATMega4 microcontroller.

My three best managers all managed UP the org chart. The worst ones managed down.

Then there were a few in the middle who gave us too much autonomy, deferring to our best judgement on everything, but not doing much firefighting on our behalf.

The three worst ones were glorified secretaries. All they did was keep track of who made what decisions so they'd know who to throw under the bus. The sort of people who won't even break a tie on any important decision where the dev leads are deadlocked. Small, petty excuses for humans that I hope never to encounter again.

This is cool, but there's an argument to be made that the baggage is the whole point of doing retro computing. You can emulate a Z80 on an STM32 and it will run faster than the real thing. Much faster. So why bother with a real Z80? Because there is something ineffably cool about the "real thing". It's kind of like vinyl records. Digital audio is vastly superior by any objective measure, and yet people still want vinyl. The don't want it despite the clicks and pops and the annoyance of having to clean it and futz with the needle and the turntable speed, they want it because of all of these things.

> That's different from typedef'ing a function pointer so that you don't need to be a C parsing expert to read the code.

If you can't read C code you should work on your C programming ability, there is nothing difficult about reading function pointers.

Edit: If people are getting tripped up with basic syntax good luck with the actual hard parts of C, Like lack of memory safety, concurrent memory management, undefined behavior, etc.

auto greet = std::mem_fn(&Foo::display_greeting);

Looks pretty simple to me, much simpler than C function pointers. :)

Pairs nicely with std::bind, too, like so:

Foo foo;
std::function<void(int)> setter = std::bind(&Foo::setValue, &foo, std::placeholders::_1);
setter(42);

As a Ruby programmer trying to take a look at Elxir, i still find it hard to read. Maybe functional languages take time to get used to but it doesn't seem as "clear" as procedure or oop style. I know the added benefit of speed and concurrency, but for most apps we build it is not needed for now.

Do any Ruby programmer find Elxir easier to write or read? Im genuinely curious to hear about this because a lot of Ruby devs are writing Elixir.
