Absolutely. But you still CAN make these mistakes, so people will. No one claims that it is literally impossible to write safe C++, just really damn hard and that you'll probably fail given a sufficiently large codebase. Rust makes it impossible for some set of errors.
Yeah there's not much else you can do at a 4 way stop if the timing is bad.
My point was a simple one -- entropy isn't a "hoary and largely discredit trope." It's a very well-established principle, grounded in copious evidence.

> Try breaking Chrome.

Happens every day. Google must remain constantly vigilant for this possibility and offers substantial monetary rewards to those able to break it:

If breaking Chrome was a practical impossibility as you suggest, this program wouldn't exist or pay out rewards. But that's false.

It may not be sufficient but it is surely very useful when you have no idea how to pronounce the word. Besides, I think it works quite well for English. When I started learning it I had to rely on the IPA transcriptions every time I looked up new words in a dictionary. Even now, when online dictionaries have nice recordings of the vocabulary spoken by native speakers, I still use it for proper nouns(names etc.) that are not included in dictionaries when I can't find the recorded pronunciation e.g. on Youtube.
Is there a way to use a desktop computer as the tty for the Debian instance and to run the scheduler on the Android device in active mode without keeping poking at the touchscreen?

I recently installed Ubuntu Touch hoping that I could turn my Nexus 5 into an ARM dev board, but power-save scheduling when usin the device via ssh made it useless for my use case: http://askubuntu.com/questions/875625/how-to-make-ubuntu-tou...
I know what is it and yes, it is neither a crisis, nor it's acute problem that should be invoked as an argument against helping others. If you are poor in developed country, you will not starve to death, you will not be tortured and you will not die from air strike or accidental bullet just to be called "inevitable collateral damage". Your life is hard, but you are not in grave danger like people fleeing from a civil war or dictatorship. There are already plenty of charities and government programs that will help you.
This is all good, if you are on git.

Like I said in my other downvoted post... too many TBD zealots look at big companies that use it sans branches, and assume that it is the one true way, instead of understanding the larger picture (branches outside of git suck, these companies don't use git for various reasons)

Spare us the rhetoric, please. The only purpose it serves is to confirm your alienation.

Business mixing with activism is nothing new, although progressive businesses engaging in activism is. You'd do well to remember the recent fracas over churches and resorts choosing not to host gay weddings. That's conservative activism.

> Or perhaps the Republicans, though new federal liability laws, should render Airbnb's business model non-viable at the national level.

Such laws would be a stunning display of hypocrisy from a party that claims to be against federal interference in markets. It would also normalize (or continue the trend of normalizing) political punishment for companies that don't agree with the current administration's (non-legal) policies. Regardless of who's in power, that's not a good road to go down.

> The left has been engaging in total war against the right for about a decade.

I hear this sentiment often. While liberals (such as myself) have benefited in terms of visibility from the last 8 years, I see no signs of "total war" on my college campus or in my neighborhood back home. There is general agreement that conservative (and Trumpian) policies are categorically bad for all Americans, but this doesn't reflect a contempt for conservatives or Trump voters as people. More than anything, there's a feeling of bewilderment stemming from the conservative party's unconservative choice of candidate.

Edit: I realized that I forgot to add this in the last paragraph:

The idea of the left engaging in "total war" is discomforting for another reason - it doesn't accurately reflect the facts of this past election. Over the last 12 months, only one party selected a candidate who hasn't made any attempts at bipartisanship. Whether or not you agreed with HRC's policies (I didn't, on many occasions), she made a conspicuous effort to appeal to both liberals and conservatives. The more progressive contingent mocked her for this, but it's still a showing of good faith. No such good faith attempt was made by the Trump campaign.

It's worth noting, however, that Trump's campaign isn't really to blame for the aforementioned. He merely tapped into a talking point that the GOP has been brewing since the Watergate scandal - that the media can't be trusted, and that the party must be the source of facts. Combined with Gingrich's 1996 Contract With America and the reactionary appearance of the Tea Party in response to the Obama administration, the claim that it is the left that has waged war looks, at best, shaky.
> What kind of soulless, dead-eyed scumbag do you have to be to wilfully introduce something so utterly pointless and utterly destructive just to sell more shampoo?

If it's the cheaper solution, of course there's going to be someone trying to sell it. If it sells it will give the company an economic competitive advantage and other companies will be tempted to follow suite in order to keep up with the competition. Some other company will try to market a shampoo without the plastic beads, at a premium price. Most consumers wont have the money (or interest) to vote with their wallets and so plastic beads will continue to fill or oceans.

Looks like capitalism at work to me.
This is a strawman. People call Trump racist, but this is an unconstitutional action with clearly racial motives.

Arguing against this being called "racism" is completely missing the point.

What Trump is doing is unamerican and unconstitutional. Arguably an impeachable offense.

This is an outdated article. Many of the things it claims you cannot do, you can in fact do, you just weren't able to when this was penned.

For example:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31437121/how-to-output-am...

Just setting <xsl:output method="text"/> will let you more or less output whatever you want. It doesn't care at that point if the output is valid XML. It is used regularly to convert XML to other text formats using only XSLT.
My argument is, you should distinguish two majorities, the majority of media-reported incidents, and the majority of some real-life things.

Those two are very different. If you don’t distinguish between them, you’ll come to absurd conclusions like “the majority of US drivers are drunk”, “vast majority of US citizens voted for Hillary”, or “the majority of US companies are breaking the law”.

Prestigious means nothing ‘coz it’s hard to measure that. But for biggest ones, here’s the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_companies_by_r... Good luck finding Enron or Wells Fargo there.

You say "polishing", which implies minor details. Could you cut a bunch of stuff, and release next week? The real adventure doesn't start until you've deployed. You might even find out that the polishes don't even matter that much, and something that wasn't even on your roadmap is everything.

Unless your previous experience was as the first engineer at a startup, your previous experience was probably preparing you to iterate on an existing product (late phases of phase 1 or phase 2), or a new product for existing customers. You had a base level of expectations. Previously, you were forced to released a polished version, but you had the resources to do it. In your new capacity, you (probably) don't have that. There's something to be said for just throwing out there a minimum version of the product, and polishing it later. You'll save weeks of wasted effort probably.
Considering that Musk is competing against the entire petroleum industry (major supporters of Trump) with SolarCity and Tesla, I'd be surprised if the "friendship" was anything other than convenience.
This is insightful.

Ran into this sort of thing at a .gov during audits for systems accreditation in 200x.

It's too bad there aren't more Corrode examples on line. But from what's available, it just passes C raw pointers through function calls as unsafe Rust raw pointers. The interfaces generated are no better than they were in C. You can't rewrite one side or the other and get safety, because the interface itself is unsafe. That's no good.

This isn't a syntax problem. It's a semantic problem.
Unless I didn't read carefully enough, it's not really an answer to why we hear things. It simply confirms that some people do hear things and reminds us what such phenomena is called. Interesting nonetheless.

You've written a much more substantive and civil comment than did 'yongjik while raising the same issue.

There's evidence Bannon has been the chief author behind some of the recent executive orders. Especially the immigration order. Trump is arrogant but he's very easily influenced. And I'm not convinced he even understands what he is signing.

His antisemitism has been well documented. How he gets along with Kushner and Ivanka, I have no idea. I suspect they don't get along at all. There will plenty of books on Trump's Team of Rivals, though probably much less glowing than for Lincoln's similar team.

One reference for Bannon's antisemitism: http://www.timesofisrael.com/stephen-bannon-5-things-jews-ne...

Speaking of which: I also wouldn't be surprised if Bannon is behind Trump's recent Holocaust statement in which Jews aren't mentioned at all.

Sounds like they still use Brazil.

I've never understood the mono repo argument. With something like Brazil (or even sonatype nexus), you end up in a much stronger place for guaranteeing consistency and immutability in your builds.
"The use of the cloud for server farms made of hundreds, thousands, and often more computers that are transparent to the user has achieved much the same goal, providing one’s connection to the cloud is also redundant. "

This isn't true at all. The cloud offerings are more like traditional, high availability such as fail-over clusters. They might compete with VMS clusters by now with the right components. Maybe even exceed them except for longevity. Systems like NonStop and Stratus are fault-tolerant systems supposed to get five 9's availability with [hopefully] imperceptible moments of failure that [hopefully] recover immediately. I wouldn't trust a cloud platform for that. The latency alone would probably prevent the solution from matching a local, NonStop cluster.
code can be very simple, and we don't always know what it will do.

Simple example: can you tell me if this snippet of (python) code will ever terminate or not?

x=0.5

while x<0.6 or x>0.7:

x=3.59*x*(1-x)

print x

... and what if the 3.59 was replaced by a different number - maybe 3.60 ? or 3.84 ?

I think the parent agrees with you. The rhetoric around executive orders recently has spilled over from "I disagree with these particular executive orders" to "executive orders are inherently evil." In the Republican primary we saw people promising to repeal every existing executive order (because purple hearts and executive-branch pay scales are bad?). The parent was objecting to this, while certainly allowing that particular orders may be a problem.
I think map implies a data transformation without side effects. When I read 'map' in code, that's what I'm expecting. I expect I can replace 'map' with a parallel version that doesn't guarantee the order in which the elements will be processed and not change the semantics of the program. I expect that if I want to swap in an alternate function, I only need to be concerned with its ability to handle the inputs, produce the outputs and be a logically valid transformation.

I have no such expectations of a loop until I've read and understood its body. I hardly have any expectations of a loop at all until I've understood the whole thing.

And that's how map, used properly makes things better. It communicates what kinds of things the reader should expect it to do and not do. It reduces the cognitive load of reading the program, as if, for example, you're scanning for where a certain side effect happens, you can skip the function called by 'map' on your first pass through. It shouldn't happen there; maybe it could, but it should be pretty far down the list of places to check.
Was going to gripe about the same thing. Looks like they're injecting history per scroll event.

Convention over configuration is subclassing? (2012)
So you blame Scala both for Java's mistakes as well as addressing them, while Kotlin, which doubles down on Java's poor decisions does everything right?
This makes literally no sense at all.

Also, only a few of the newer concurrent Java collections disallow nulls. All the classes commonly used allow null, as well as the collection interfaces themself.

Java had the chance to address this with Optional, but they got the implementation of the null handling completely wrong.
Now they are stuck with it, which caused an obscene amount of complexity in the new generics spec to work around it.
Several of these (like #2 and #6, and possibly others) can be accomplished by having XSLT generate the XSLT you use to transform the XML.

Cumbersome perhaps, but I've seen this used in a big system, and when properly cached and used in the right circumstances, it performs just as well as a single XSLT.
Yeah, that's how I remember it too. NR was a great reference in the 80s, but then some time (after the 2nd edition '92) things started to change and now they've changed a lot.

First, I think the publishers started to see that there was money to be had as the copyright/left wars took off and the book left academia (where you weren't going to get any money suing them anyway).

Second, as the web grew (late 90s) "programmers" started just copy-pasting "code"/html from wherever they liked without understanding or attribution, and that is something that still exists today... although I hope that more people recognize it as a problem to be stamped out.

So now, NR is somewhat of a relic that oldsters remember as a useful tool, and a new generation see as another symbol of a problem they're trying to get rid of. It's really both.

There isn't anything decent out of the box, especially if you want to have a working LTE. You have two options. First, use Android kernel + blobs + libhybris, and on top of that install normal mobile glibc Linux distro.

Second option is the same thing, but using upstream kernel and open drivers. If you can succeed in that, it's the best.

Show HN: Password Generator Command Line in F#
5 years back it would be very interesting proposition. But today a lot of modern cloud infrastructure is getting written in Go. IBM/SAP/Apple betting on Swift for server side applications. So in past it could have been Swift app + Java backend now it is more likely Swift app + Swift backend.

I also think with Rust taken up by programing enthusiasts which otherwise would have prefered Scala on JVM is also going to put pressure on Java/JVM.

OpenVMS or AS/400. Very common for admins to report systems running for 5+ years without crashes while doing real work. People occasionally forget where they're at and have to go looking for them. My company has an AS/400 employees never saw go down or get maintenance over 10 years. It's in use 24/7. They might have some fail-over setup or upgrade when nobody is using it due to traffic patterns. We've just never seen it fail. Their other benefit is they're very hands off with it nearly self-administering.
Not to mention, this particular article was called out by another HN article:

as glorified pseudoscientific clickbait.
The demo is more than an animated cursor. The demo is showing that:

- you can override any output coming from the terminal and choose not to display it (in this case the "command not found" output is overridden)

- you can lay out an arbitrary `canvas` element on top and have complete freedom to style however you want.

The idea behind Hyper is that you can do everything as plugins. Instead of creating an experimental terminal like TermKit, my decision was to ship a _useful_ terminal and let it be arbitrarily and infinitely extended.

The only part I actually agree with is that people holding green cards shouldn't be stopped from traveling. They've gone through extensive vetting already. The administration should intervene immediately to stop applying it in those cases, but I agree with the rest of the order. I think Sec. 3 (c) is the part of the order that covers this?

The rest of the order is partially fulfilling his campaign promises, and the broad idea is what's expected of him.
