Ask HN: What should I do about the ad disabling setting I found?
I was poking around the website of a company that I love (via dev tools). They produce a lot of content, so their website offers a ton of condensed videos including highlights, promos, interviews, et cetera.

For a bit, I was simply studying the video player component in js, and then started to study the actual js file in resources. Eventually, I stumbled upon a setting that controls whether or not ads are enabled at all. It's not simply for error handling or other edge cases as it has a comment above it explaining it is for use when developing locally.

My first though (of course) was to cobble together a chrome extension to share with everyone, but instead, I thought of trying to let them know I had found it.

Should I try to tell them? If so, how can I do so without getting anyone in trouble? Of course, I'd love to use this as an excuse to make an introduction. I'm happy in my current job but would love to make that connection for the future.

However, it's a pretty simple find; as easy as

Player.foo = true;

so I'm not sure how much they'd even care.

Or should I just share it with the community so we can all talk about how to avoid doing it ourselves?
Of the bootcamp people, everyone has had at least a bachelors, maybe weighted towards less stem but that's certainly not the rule. I don't think I have a good numbers backed answer for you, but I also don't think prior academics is the issue. It's mostly peoples ability to problem solve. We have no shortage of applicants but it still takes us forever to find people that can do the job.

Trains in Tokyo are usually packed during rush hour. If you are traveling off peak (as a tourist often would), you'll usually find lots of seats open. I've never had trouble getting a seat on he ring line or another JR line, simply because I was traveling in the afternoon.

In my experience, very experienced programmers end up converging towards very similar idioms: terse expressions for common patterns, clarity when the domain is complex through verboseness if necessary, and just keeping things as simple as possible unless there's evidence that complexity will reduce technical debt in the future.

I don't really see highly competent devs doing the whole J2EE architecture astronautics anymore, nor using single-char variable names. There's a tendency to write things concisely when simple, and then moving the complexity away to some other place, stashed in its own function, when it reaches a certain mental threshold of complexity. There's a tendency to use the best features languages have to offer, maximizing simplicity through orthogonal features and repeated idioms, while discarding unnecessary cruft; one of the marks of junior devs is their desire to try to fit problems into new idioms just to test out language features or strange design patterns.

Given that human intelligence is fluid but the variance just isn't that high (after all, we all have a similar amount of working memory), common design practices emerge out of this understanding for our limits for reasoning about problems. Exceptions abound in extremely technical and complicated problems (just check out non-trivial linear algebra code or bit-flipping, low-level device drivers), but the most part it just sticks out how things are made to look simple within a finite range of tradeoffs. This has been my experience in my domain of expertise; look at most current web development frameworks and they respect common patterns even in radically different languages that are really about the essence of the request-response cycle, not made-up constructs of additional complexity or a restating of the problem.

Thanks, that was a good read. This sounds like the Prop 58 exemption https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_58,_Real_Esta...

I am too young to remember the pro- and con- arguments concerning this proposition, but it's a little surprise 75.7% of the voters approved.

Looking at a larger picture, cash-starved municipalities are not that exciting to live in, with their dilapidated roads, aging infrastructure, poor public service coverage as far as police, firefighting, libraries and parks, as well as underfunded (and probably underperforming) school districts.

So isn't the issue self-correcting long-term? Places with a larger proportion of Prop 58 exemptions eventually run themselves into the ground, while places with tons of new construction and healthy resale market tax themselves into a nice school district and well-paved roads?

I don't know how saying governemnt officials should speak through a specific medium is 'censorship'.

Any organisation will want to control its message, and having your officials use a channel that's 140 characters maximum leads to only being able to talk about issues in the most flimsy of ways.

Personally, I think there should be less Twitter and more published in-depth reports.
A fundamental strength of Erlang is that as many things as possible are simple, which makes it easy to know that it works correctly and under what conditions it doesn't work so well [1]. The compiler writer isn't necessarily the GC writer either; although, it's probably the same couple of people in Erlang.

[1] If you touch a lot of ref counted binaries, without generating enough garbage on the process heap to trigger GC. GC time scales with process heap, if you get a large enough backlog in your mailbox, GC may reduce the throughput to the point where you can't recover, although doing selective receives if you don't trigger the optimization for new references[2] is much more painful than GC scaling.

[2] http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2010-June/05175...

EDIT: from slides about r19 GC [3], it seems that both of the GC issues I mentioned have had targeted changes: for refcounted binary issues, there's now a 'virtual binary heap' to help trigger GC; for GC with a big mailbox, there are different allocation strategies available which may help.

Swift is simply a safer language to use, safer as in it tries to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. And at this point the framework support has pretty much caught up. So my vote is for Swift on new projects.

It's seems to me that you've gutted the entire argument of the GP. The ACA was the only piece of evidence presented. Everything else is unsubstantiated personal opinion.

I also take issue with the lack of scope and over-generalization. Did Abraham Lincoln (R) use the language of power? Did George Wallace (D) use the language of truth? Is Donald Trump a typical Republican? Both parties have and are evolving over time.

Some of them don't know that they own the land. Many of them most certainly do.

He isn't conducting the lawsuit out of some strange desire to figure out who is related to whom, or to clarify some papers. The purpose of a quiet title lawsuit is to steal a piece of land from its owners.

Discovering who the other claimants are is the first step in this process. The second step in this process is... To force them to put their land up for auction, where it will be sold to the highest bidder. The current landowners have no say in this. [1]

And, at the end of the process, Zuckerburg's investigation and attourney fees will be billed to... The owners of the land. For some of those parcels, they are quite likely to be higher then the cost of the parcels.

You couldn't come up with a less fair law if you tried - because it was specifically designed to benefit a wealthy party, that wants to take possession of a bunch of land, and the only thing in the way is a bunch of peasants who refuse to sell.

> On iterables it behaves like forEach but also returns the iterable instance further. And on sequences it returns a wrapping sequence, which applies the given action lazily as the elements are being iterated.

like forEach and also returns the iterable instance or like map, it is the same.

For me the key thing is that onEach applies lazily for sequences.

If an app doesn't provide a "Don't ask me again" button, or even worse, continue to ask for reviews even after I've tapped "Don't ask me again", you can bet I'll leave a 1-star review. If you don't want 1-star reviews, don't beg for reviews. Ask once and leave it be.
Arguable, but lack of peer review certainly should inspire a lack of confidence in results.
True... I couldn't know it in a scientific sense. But I went from a commute from garage to parking lot and a weekly outing to the bowling alley, to all that walking, standing, and stair climbing. It was a couple of hours daily by the time you added it all up. That's a good, I dunno, 400 calories daily of additional burn? So I had to be eating more as well, or I would have dropped a lot more weight than 15 pounds in 2 years.
Fish is similar to zsh in a lot of ways, but without configuration you get the best of zsh:

* Syntax highlighting

* Implicit cd to directory

* 100,000 line history

* History de-duplication

* Inline auto-suggestions

* Tab completion using man page data

* Paginated completion

* Copy/paste using X clipboard

The only things I feel the need to configure on a new fish install, is PATH and my prompt. Because I'm pedantic and like things exactly so.

You can get these with zsh, but it's more than apt-get install.

> I'd encourage you to reconsider. Apple could fix this issue. A few vigilantes can't

Apple aren't going to fix the issue without it being a problem for them. I'm making it a problem by poisoning the review well in my own little way. I think this is a considered response - it's literally the only push-back that users have against the practice.

My preferred outcome would be a complete ban on asking for reviews.

Edit: my initial post was a bit abrasive, edited. But I'd like to end with a question:

What's your preferred user response to the practice of seemingly every single app begging for reviews? An actual, actionable response.

Two-star reviews? Three?
There is two tabs in the app store, one for "Current Version" the other for "All Versions" so it is not true that Apple erase previous ratings.

He said "conservative". You think Lincoln was a conservative?
The Democrat's decision to support civil rights and the Republican southern strategy shift to appeal to voters who opposed civil rights radically altered both parties. The Republican party shares a name with the Party of Lincoln, but that's about it.
Not at all joking that Adam West is the best. He owns the character like Shatner owns Kirk.

That said, I like the campier interpretations of the TV show and Burton/Keaton but I also like the grittier Miller/Mazzuchelli Year One and Nolan/Bale interpretations, too. There's a proud tradition of both, and they complement each other (one interpretation playing straight man to the other, if you will).
This is 100% because they fail to adhere to a caloric intake that is at or below their TDEE. That's about behavior, not physiology. They aren't violating the first law of thermodynamics and creating new mass and energy out of nothing. They're eating too much. They aren't tracking their weight and modifying their behavior when they see it going in a direction they and their physicians don't want.

It's no different than the fact that you must spend less than you make to avoid going into debt, and that you must save a certain percentage of your income to save up enough for retirement so that you can continue your standard of living once you retire. And yet we find huge portions of the US population in debt with little to no savings. This doesn't mean the advice is bad or invaluable.

This doesn't mean they're mentally incapable of saving up. That's a behavioral issue, too. And behaviors can be modified. There's research about how to successfully do that, too. Entire industries revolve around modifying behaviors to extract profit from people.

That the studies that you are personally aware of show that people have trouble maintaining a healthy weight suggests, not that it's impossible, but that the subjects don't know how to form and maintain habits.

That people can't implement advice doesn't mean it isn't valuable. At most, it just means they need more advice or counsel. But not different, mutually exclusive, advice.
If yesterday I thought the sky was going to be blue, everyone else swore the sky would be blue, and this lone fellow told me it'd be a blood red sky---and he was correct right down to the particular shade of crimson it would be, then yes I would take him a little more seriously.

No one thought Trump would win. Even in the states he lost in, he lost be lesser margins than was predicted. Hiliary seemed to be inevitable---after all she is an actual politiclan, with real experience. The democractic machine is behind her, isn't it? She has the force of history behind her driving her to be the first female president. How can she lose?

Then she lost rather dramatically. I looked at the election results and saw a sea of red from coast to coast, with Hilary doing well in high population areas but losing majority everywhere else.

VICE News Tonight recently covered this: Flint doesn't even know yet how much pipe has to be replaced. It could be up to 200 megabucks more just for retrofitting lead pipes.

It's another bulldozing tribal sites over the weekend before the TRO hearing kinda desecration added to the insult after the poisoning.

Pinned tabs definitely should be excluded from throttling. Pinning tab for me usually means that I want to keep track of something, which usually is my email, chat client, etc. I don't want to be notified about new email on my phone before I get that notification on PC, which is already happening too often. That's just unnecessary hassle.

Though I'm not sure how popular this feature is and I would vote for other ways to turn throttling off, especially for those which prompt user about it.

I can only guess, but the price is high enough that common share return probably = preferred share. Suppose you joined after the Jan 2013 round and took $100k of options over 4 years. Those options are now worth $640k. You probably made out better than you would have if you had worked at Cisco the whole time, but worse than if you worked for Google or Facebook. A good outcome! Considering that this is pretty far on the favorable end of the probability distribution, your expected value of joining a random startup with similar valuation is not so great.

I would consider Scala a far better language from a safety, syntax and design perspective. Go is compelling due to the low GC pause times, and to some extent the community for some types of software. I would imagine switching between these to be quite rare. I would expect more movement from Scala to Swift or perhaps Rust.
