Oh, this takes me back to my university days where I spent time with Lejos [0] on an RCX brick (32 kilobytes of usable space).

I recall using Eclipse for development and I am sure the build process involved uploading the JVM and program code via a USB infrared interface.

Have to say that I preferred using "Not Quite C" [1] due to it having a simpler syntax and intuitive support for cooperative multitasking.

Yes, I would buy a Linux version of this. I use UFW, but it requires a lot of work. A gui with that network monitor would be great.

"I'm sorry, but rather than using kludges such as CSP to turning the lights off with a broad brush, how about fixing HTML and JavaScript in the first place?"

OK... how?

To be clear, I'm asking for an HN-comment level of detail, not a standards-body level of detail. I can't speak for everyone else on HN but I won't go over things with a fine-tooth comb, I'll only look at top-level issues.

But I will at least point out that being able to casually float third-party content into any site that has a weakness to XSS or man-in-the-middle or vulnerabilities in any other third-party content in the website is pretty fundamental. The fundamental composition power of the web is too powerful and it is going to have to be cut back. Some of the obvious solutions like "whitelisting hashes of valid content" have their own problems, like how a lot of the scripts being included out there are deliberately not constant and that's their whole point in the first place.

I have used Little Snitch for quite a while, then switched to Hands Off because I liked its interface a bit better and the ability to set a rule that would clear at reboot was a win. I regularly block outgoing connections; tracking attempts by Google, Apple & Microsoft (no PowerPoint, you don't need to check in to Skype at each launch...), limiting a lot of apps to loopback connections rather than full outgoing connectivity, etc.

Another benefit is that once I get over the initial rule configuration hump (and it is a real PITA for the first week or two) what I end up seeing are the anomalies and so I can pay closer attention to what has changed or where something is trying to connect that I might want to think about.
We have a lot of public infrastructure which needs love (i.e. construction); but of course the money to do this isn't there in the first place.
How about for app development? I got a small Windows 10 Chinese tablet that I want to use for testing Windows 10 UWP apps but don't want to open it (haven't had time to use it yet) if it wouldn't be worth it.

Yes, lots. It's amazing what makes (/tries to make) connections over the course of a day.
Unless you have a good reason to then I would recommend against rolling your own (with any library). Use an existing cloud service that specializes in it.
I totally agree that capped capitalism would have it's own set of issues.

Being from ex-ussr state I'm well aware of communism.. shortcomings. Communism was killing innovation at very low level. Small business? Fuck you. Self-employed? Fuck you. Artist who don't recite gov position? Fuck you. Work in BigCo and have some interesting ideas? Fuck you. Innovation did happen but it was very rare. Well, except military tech etc.

The problem with capitalism is that once someone grows big, it's too easy for them to limit innovation. They either buy any innovation that may threaten them (and likely kill and/or damage it like Google) or make sure they have very hard time growing. Education alone won't help there. It may create more attempts to innovate, but the BigCo ceiling would still be there.

It'd be great to aim for market where no single player have even double digits of market share. If there were 10 google searches, it'd be much easier to create new google search. Then educated people could push for innovation under their own banner rather than be forced to make their way through google ladder.

I've seen somewhat similar development in my country. For example, clothes retailers. Not exactly innovative thing, but hear me out. In 90s, there were a lot of small shops with great (especially after soviet times) variety. In 00s, most of the clothes retail was run by single holding. They have franchises of several well known brands and are biggest renters in most shopping centres. There's not much of variety and pricing is shitty though. Thank god H&M squeezed in. But new small retailers seem to have a hard time. Once some brand/style starts getting popular, the big holding fills that niche too. There seem to be a narrow line between staying afloat and getting bigco interested in your niche.

So I do this for a living... and I'd estimate the value of Uber's brand at $20-30 billion right now and growing. Brand perception among mainstream consumers is extremely positive and they're aggressively expanding globally. Think about how many times you've heard someone say "Hey, who wants to call the Uber?" That's brand value right there. They are essentially price inelastic given how many tiers of service they offer.

Uber is only having a cash bonfire right now to keep the drivers happy so they don't make it a terrible experience for the customers. But rest assured as soon as they are allowed to, Uber will replace the drivers, lower the price and capture some percentage of what they used to have to pay drivers for themselves. That's when Uber goes from a brand investment to a cash cow.

Just curious, how do you sell a product before exists? Do you literally sell it, or do you pitch it and then when they're sold on the idea you tell them it doesn't exist.
Yes. I don't think I was clear enough with my first comment.

Futzing is great, and I celebrate people who futz on this kind of level. The people who code golf a bubble sort to be one less instruction; the people who can cram a plasma and text scroller demo into 89 bytes; the people who really understand everything about a system from top to bottom, inside out and upside down.

As a society we're not very good at protecting those people from harm (in the form of bullying from other students) or providing them with work that makes the most of their rare talent.
>>Even if autopilot was faulty in some way, if more people were living than dying - does it matter?

If you let your friend drive you somewhere in your car because you think they're a better driver, is it their fault if they crash?

The reason could be anything - you're drunk and they're not, you're in really congested unfamiliar area near where they live, whatever. If you think they're statistically going to be a better driver it does not absolve them of liability. Someone is always to blame.
I wonder if those real numbers were based on a 40 hour week.

Ah, the price of Running Ubuntu/OSX/Windows....it always bites you in the ass.

This is like the B2B SaaS marketspace - it's almost taken for granted that your app integrates with Salesforce. People are surprised if it isn't.

However, anyone who runs, Microsoft CRM, SugarCRM, Netsuite, etc. - are all used to hearing "Sorry, we don't integrate with X". I'd say ubuntu falls into a similar category....

Interesting you ask, because honestly the answer is, not really. In the grand scheme of things, business logic isn't that difficult. Take some data in, process it, output it. And what Haskell provides over C#, an explicit separation of purity and impurity, isn't that great of a help. I design most of my logic to be pure anyway, and when it's not there's a reason for it. Forcing me to jump through hoops to handle those few cases of necessary impurity generally harms more than it helps.

"Difficult" code is stuff that involves things like distributed transactions and whatnot. All that stuff has to be bundled in a big wad of IO anyway and so Haskell has nothing to help out with that in the first place (if there was a language that could, I'd be all over it). At least that's my experience. YMMV.

If you're ok with Ubuntu as a base OS, Elementary OS may be what you're looking for. It has (in my experience) the most modern macOS-like interface that is still minimalist enough to not get in the user's way. It is clean, fast, and beautiful to look at. I've been using it as a daily driver for over six months now and I'm still finding things to love about it.

I do wish it was based on a more sane (for my tastes) distro like Slackware or Gentoo, but that probably wouldn't work given how much it depends on the Ubuntu/Debian way of doing things under the hood. The fact that it has made me give up Slackware on the desktop still surprises me; I'd been using Slackware almost daily since about 2001 but the last few releases have felt trapped in the past while struggling to catch up to every other distro feature-wise. Maybe that's due to their insistence on remaining systemd-free (something I am proud of them for) but whatever the reason, I now only use Slackware on servers and really old hardware, and only use Elementary on the desktop. Anything else in either setting just doesn't compare.
That's a pretty neat article. Currently I'm trying to get away from Sublime because it's closed source. I considered Lime Text, the OSS clone, but that project seems to be dead. So I settled for vim. I'm still not as productive as with Sublime, but I'm getting there. Does anybody know a similar article for vim or other editors?
Step 1: don't recall the robot surgeon. While it does have a fatal bug, recalling eat would kill 79% more patients. Oops.

Step 2: Correct the bug, so the robot stops killing patients.

The Tesla autopilot may be in a similar situation. Even if there is a number of fatality inducing bugs, disabling it would be even worse. That said, 40% crash reduction is not enough. I want to see 75%, 90%, and more.
I think it's coming after Trump.
Yeah; that's ultimately why Uber treats driver quality as a short term problem and they don't do a lot more pre-employment checks... it's a problem they'll fix by removing the drivers entirely; so better to sweep it under the rug and by the time they get in trouble, it will be too late...

Uber is basically a walking dead company. At least with this business model it just can not justify the valuation. Hence, it just can not go public and needs to continue raising more money to keep its market share.

Unit economics doesn't work—this is Uber's broken moat. In the cities where it works, there are cheaper competitors and Uber struggle to become a significant player. In my city (Kyiv, Ukraine) Uber was introduced a year ago. I used it only while it offered promotional price. Now every other local ride service is cheaper than Uber and has mobile app—sometimes even better than Uber's. Yes, Uber made these services to improve, but now they are all better that Uber in terms of prices of rides, especially in surge periods.

Uber with this model could survive only with:

1/ Autonomous cars to cut costs on drivers and

2/ Controlling the whole driverless platform in every city.

And this is not happening since to control significant portion of driverless cars one need to control the whole driverless tech stack. It will be pretty hard to aggregate in one service different co's driverless tech with different specifics. That's what Tesla does.

I guess later when driverless will become growing en mass, Tesla will start own ride service, and letting own car for the a ride service will be opportunity to reimburse car purchase. It is then that Tesla will start licensing driverless tech to other manufacturers, including sensors configuration and centralised trained AI cloud with driving skills on different roads, and give opportunity to join Tesla's own ride on demand network. It will be a car selling point: "buy a car with Tesla driverless tech and let it for rides via Tesla's network to cover payments for your car".

So, it's rather hard for Uber to use advantages of driverless unless Uber builds own full stack and is the first on the roads with it + starts licensing it to car manufacturers for their cars to join Uber network.

I have a budget ultrabook based on Pentium N3700. Despite the name it is also Atom core based and essentially just a tiny bit faster on paper than Z8300. Same 4 Gb memory and HDD instead of flash drive. Windows 10 installed.

It boots up for a long long time. Win10 uses about 2.8Gb in idle state (which is good and bad both). Any significant drive activity locks the system for good - antivirus scan firing up, overloaded browser etc. Battery lifetime, despite having a 6 Watt SoC with integrated video and DDR3 memory, is average - maybe 4-5 hours top, doing nothing. My big old 15" laptop with 45 Watt cpu, geforce video and other older stuff lasted for 3 hours while it was new.

I used Visual Studio on it - it is possible but painful. Building code takes significantly slower, all actions are slow. But it can cope with MSVS, open browser, books, iTunes and some other stuff simultaneously. Development in lightweight editors should be way better.

64Gb of storage for Win10 with IDEs should be just barely enough and I would not recommend that.

If possible you should put inside 128Gb or bigger ssd and more RAM, I plan to do that at some point.
New report reveals details about FSB meetings with Trump “envoy”
Definitely agree. I like the idea of it, but when I installed it for the first time and rebooted, it fired off so many confirmation requests for various cryptic services I had no idea what they were, I removed it just as soon as I'd managed to click through them all.
I was thinking about forking the language just so I could add a Maybe monad.

I now typically deal with this via a Must() function that takes to values and return the non-err value or panics if there was an err.

That means you can call it like con := Must(db.Connect(...)).(db.Connection)

I have blocked everything Adobe Lightroom and its little cloud friends try to do, except on install to validate key. And a bunch of other apps / Apple services. If it wasn't for Little Snitch I wouldn't feel at ease running Mac instead of Linux. For me MacOS is a decent compromise between privacy and convenience because of Little Snitch. (Except that I implicitly add to the problem by accepting Mac in my life, leading by example and all that. Still struggling with that. But I tell myself I have bigger fish to fry.)
If you use your brain to work then playing games, watching documentaries, reading books and articles does not qualify as relaxation. What qualifies are the activities in which you don't use your brain as in: gym (mandatory, all weekdays), walks, manual labor etc.

Re-post from the AWS thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13442022).

That's a good high-level list, although the comparisons don't always match up. For example, I'd say Traffic Manager is more like Route 53 than ELB (which only works within a region).

If you're after something a bit more in-depth (but covering less services) then I wrote a three part series last year. It may be a little out-of-date, but most of it still applies. Azure now supports MySQL, for example.

Nah, Trump and his crew are useful idiots when it comes to Russia; they think they are #1 teaming up with #3 to keep China stuck at #2, when the reality is they are getting tricked by the old "let's you and him fight, partner" gambit.

So, useful idiots, some bought off for stunningly cheap and others true believers or just outright incompetent.

Far likelier than a non-imperialist defense policy will be Flynn finally trying to launch that pre-emptive Christian jihad he's been salivating for, in partnership with Russia.

It would be nicer to see what you see, of course, but I can't what with having familiarity with the people involved.
Don't forget the gas resources in the calculations. Well worth it, for Russia.

Little Snitch is at once both great and horrifying. If you watch the day to day stuff that happens on MacOS, you'll see that Apple's reputation for security and user privacy is a pretty low bar. Aside from the constantly pinging Apple defaults, so many third party apps are just all the time phoning home to corporate servers when they're not even in use. Chrome can really just look for updates when I open it, not check in with Google about god knows what every thirty minutes.

Great comment, only tweak I would suggest is replacing "conflict" with "peer review" in terms of language, as I think people are more comfortable with that.

I'm learning as a leader that I am reluctant to accept a proposal unless it has been thoroughly peer reviewed for gaps or weakness, and if there is some disagreement about the approach, then great let me hear that to. Rigorous peer review is very healthy, the trick is to get people to attack the proposal and not the proposer ;-)

This is just my opinion, but if you get two passes for drunk driving and you do it a third time... that's your fault. Also from the data, very few inmates get more than 10-20 for drunk driving. Those are also probably people who have way more than 3 convictions, or have committed egregious drunk driving.

We might want to look at what is causing you to drunk drive (addiction, which should be a medical issue and not a legal one), but something should be done after your third time.
