A little off-topic, but part of the problem with personalized medicine I think is that the target market for any drug developed for a particular personalization is necessarily small. In other words, right now it is a bad business decision. Perhaps it can be used as a delta- to a mass-market drug in the future, like seasonings to a basic recipe, but that's a bit off.
Switch makes sense in really low level languages like C where it becomes a branch table (and allows things like Duff's device), but it has no place in higher-level languages. Fallthrough, while very occasionally useful, is bug prone and weird (breaks the "principle of least surprise" in a major way). Python made the right call not including it.
They are user problems in a way, but indirectly. Without user reviews new apps are buried even when searched with exact names. So the exact app you need for a niche task will never be found in the first place.

The only real solution is for Apple/Google to not wipe the slate every app update. You have to see the user benefit to that - apple right now literally has a direct disincentive to updating an app.
There was WAP, which was kind of the ancestor of AMP. It wasn't terribly popular then either.
Yes, that is my point. Lies are lies. Facts are facts.

The indiscriminate usage of the term by the mainstream media is a strategic mistake since they are giving ground to the frame of all facts being subjective and equally applicable. Remember that 'fake news' was quickly and effectively used by the alt-right to tarnish mainstream media. I expect 'alternative facts' will eventually be used against them, too.

Also 'alternative facts' might be a position that the mainstream media needs to defend, if the current administration upped their game and began to mislead through selective usage of facts rather than more overt lying.
If you would only keep bodies warm, wouldn't you constantly have steam coming out of your mouth in cold weather? Wouldn't you have steamy windows without heating or air conditioning? What about babies in baby seats?
I think it depends on context. As you point out, a lot of coverage is given to climate change denialists - out of proportion to the number of scientists who are sceptical of the consensus. Other examples of that include vaccine safety, evolution, GMO safety and cancer therapy.

However, in other contexts it seems like the prevailing consensus is reported without any controversy. For example; many popular psychology books have been written and findings reported as truth, which is now being thrown into question by the recent reproducibility crisis in that field. I've not seen any coverage of "big bang denialists" or "inflation denialists", despite how esoteric some of these theories are.

I'm tempted to see a link between those issues which negatively affect people's lives and the rise in belief in alternatives which are less negative (but potentially falsifiable). However, this is by no means a thorough review of the issues, and perhaps reflects my bias in recalling examples.
I would say that privacy in all forms is a basic human right. I do feel uncomfortable that I'm just a number controlled by the "state" and corporations. It affects my well being and sometimes my creativity.
Or 'hacking'.
But then if you switch windows or tabs, the timer for the animations in the tab that is now invisible can be stopped, surely??

Why redraw an invisible window? In any ordinary paint routine, you query for the invalidated rectangle and only redraw what you must. In the case of pages that are out of view, then nothing needs redrawing.

Processes that are busy doing things they need not (like redrawing on a timer, polling a mouse) is why Apple starting highlighting offenders in macOS (what is hogging the battery??) and why I don't use Chrome on it - it just gobbles power keeping all of those tabs alive.

Hopefully these new changes will help.

Thing is, by doing this you are not encouraging users to give your app a fair review and write what they truly think of it. Instead, you want to filter those to only positives, and that is indeed gaming the system, you quite frankly want to have a cake and eat it too.
Don't you have to be logged in to the app store to review? I think many children (and some adults surely can't be arsed to log in, too) are logged out by default.

I did that for a while but then moved to doing things in command line imageMagick with 'eog' to see stuff. Then I moved to php imagick library as the command line tools were a bit 'high level' for what I needed to do.

Naturally I also moved away from Adobe vector editing tools to Inkscape and then to using vim to edit svg files.

Having discovered this 'convenient' way of working I am not enthused by the idea of installing some ppa to install Wine to install Adobe Creative Suite so I can get access to some version of Photoshop to then crack/hack it. Seems a lot of work to tweak the levels on an image.

I was taken back by this rather harsh treatment of Python.

Is it really realistic to 'have it all'? I'm fully aware that I'd have to go to crazier languages if I want parallelism or speed. For what Python is, it offers me reasonable tradeoffs (mostly slanted towards productivity)..

Regarding the FP comments, since it lacks TCO, my take away has always been that Python can only ever become a quasi-functional language. Its hard to be more than that in its current state.

Anyways. These questions made me want to ask you - what languages do you think are better in comparison?

Because military surplus exists, and it's cheap.

You still need a significant amount of strength and time to ready a crossbow. Anyone can fire it, but not everyone can load it. Also the bolt is relatively slow (the shot travels in an arc that's more pronounced the slower the projectile), requiring you to be close to what you want to hit.

And if you're hunting game, even firing a crossbow will likely spook your target.

Or you could buy some 100-year-old military rifle and become proficient with it. Nearly all of them fire rounds that can be (and frequently are) successfully used for taking all North American game.

And a bolt-action surplus rifle (or any other repeater) is still faster than any bow, and you can carry more rounds than you can arrows in a quiver for the same weight, and bullets don't snap in half or depend on delicate pieces on the shaft to fly straight.

It's still hard with really packed trains. You can not block aisles but they still take up space and it can be difficult to get on and off the train.
In bash, you can remove the limit by setting:

When the history file is not in the disk cache, startup time will increase noticeably after a while though (think a second, maybe two).

That's sort of backwards. Over the past 30 years, poverty has fallen massively, democracy has spread to more people, child mortality has fallen, literacy and education have risen [1], and rate of war deaths has fallen [2]. Maybe the direct death-and-suffering problems have now mostly been solved and that causes us to look to more intangible problems like human rights, freedom of speech and inequality. It's a common misconception that the world is getting worse but it's actually getting better.

Maybe the great lengths they went to against Manning and Snowden were because they released massively more data than anyone in history? People selling secrets to the soviets were dealt with just as harshly despite releasing far less information.
benologist, what I was pointing is exactly this. Why do OP wants to know what users want? Is it to make money? If so, I suggest to use an already built technology in place of developing a MVP, because if he is chasing ideas randomly, he probably will not be the best guy to develop a good product around it in a few months, as a lot of startup teams thinks they can and keep failing miserable. It is time to give advices in a different direction :)
How to Install and Configure the StoreFront Theme
Two 40 minute charges add 80% battery life and cover that distance assuming you start from a full charge. 750 miles is likely to take two refills on a gas car which take 5 minutes and you need to locate a station. So, the tech adds 1h 10 minutes over a 10+h trip, it's the infrastructure that's an issue for you.

PS: It's not really safe to drive 10h without taking a few breaks. But, I know the appeal.
> They are user problems in a way, but indirectly. Without user reviews new apps are buried even when searched with exact names. So the exact app you need for a niche task will never be found in the first place.

So as a user my problem with Apple is that search is crappy. Is this best fixed by the search being improved or app developers begging for reviews?

I'm sympathetic to developers for the problems of discoverability and customer support and think Apple could probably do a lot better for them. But by the same token I completely reject having it pushed back on to me via the annoying review popup every damn time I update something. I'll continue to express my displeasure with one-star reviews.

> The only real solution is for Apple/Google to not wipe the slate every app update.

As I understand it Google don't wipe reviews between versions, and this is still a problem.
it is one hell of a stretch to claim that any foreigner making standard use of a business you own or have interests is somehow violating this law.

You will find 10 People that tell you use X, 10 use Y, 10 use Z, any suggestion is right and any would be wrong.

Look at the frameworks and features and decide which one come close to your prefered development style. It is not easy and it took time.

In the last 24 month i tried many: backbone, ember, aurelia, react, react redux and currently vue and many of which i forget the name ;-). All have there pros and cons.

If you always look for a newer thing, then you will never find one. To myself: Lesson learned ;-)
Show HN: New website insights tool
It is a problem because in the end developers will just move to the next big platform. Right now Apple and Google essentially charge 30% just for card processing and distribution. Discoverability is no longer a benifit of the App Store.

The problem is that anything other than small, one trick apps are unsustainable. Look at Sketch for example - a perfect app for the iPad form factor but it doesn't exist because the App Store economy sucks.

The thing is it isn't just discoverability, but there are way more problems to deal with. Especially in terms of customer service. As a dev you get no info from a purchase of your app unless you mainuallu collect it inside your app. Have an upset customer and want to refund them? You can't. Want to discount an existing user for a new paid version? It is a super awkward process with app bundles. Want to give out a coupon code for a new product to existing users of another? Nope, can't do that.
Nobody posited that the Tesla 100 KWh battery is all the range anyone will ever need. Just that it was pretty impressive (implying that it will cover many people's use cases, i.e. people who don't regularly drive 1200km in one go).

I might just be tired of seeing this exact same discussion on HN over and over again. I was hoping to see discussion on the battery tech, not a discussion about how big of a bikeshed we need. The range anxiety discussion has been beaten to death. It's not insightful. I can read the exact same comments on YouTube.

Yes. Tesla has created a network of the so-called SuperChargers, which allow to charge with up to 120kW. So recharge times of 30-40 minutes for a leg of 200-300 miles are possible. Typically SuperChargers are placed on the main roads in less than 200 miles distance. You can find a nice overview of the network here: https://supercharge.info

I haven't done startup profiling in detail but I'd expect most of the time to go on waiting for IO. CPUs are fast but opening a database, checking disk for queued messages etc is slow. Startup involves querying the database in our app, so the DB can't do that work after initialisation. There's also network traffic and RPCs happening in that 5 seconds too.

Without a doubt also some algorithmic waste in various libraries that aren't optimised for startup time. Startup time is rarely a metric that products compete on outside the consumer space, so improving it is not normally a priority.

And then yeah, finally the lack of AOT compilation. When Java 9 rolls around I plan to try and see how much difference it makes.
I'm using react (with clojurescript) & angular2, and would suggest React. It is becoming mature and stable, great ecosystem, and a clear direction while angular (and other alternatives) are still finding where to go, mostly copying React. I'd go straight to the source.
