Nope. Every single game played in casino is a scam. If you figure out any way to beat them, you will be in huge trouble and even behind the bars. Casinos are powerful enough that they have made this in to actual law. Police will literally be after you if you ever beat casino consistently in any of their games. There are tons of stories on people figuring out how to beat casino in black jack and they were ruined by casinos because of that. This would sound ridiculous to most sane people but casino's have done great marketing and physiological twisting that people now go there with full knowledge of this and think losing is actually fun and its quite enjoyable. Basically what you are saying.

You present no real argument rather than calling it pure evil. It loads fast, ads and analytics go where they're supposed to, and now the URL issue is mostly gone too.

For users, it's basically seamless benefit with no draw backs.

For developers, yes it takes effort but a lot of it is done for you, and you also inherit this huge cache, which you call evil but in reality, costs quite a lot of money and you're getting for free.

It's easy to call something "evil" and completely dismiss all the huge benefits of a technology, but I'd like to hear what exactly are the remaining issue.

Why don't developers unionize? Because they don't want, to, and nobody can make them.

Next question: Why don't they want to? Because they detest bureaucracy, and they see unions as another bureaucracy that they would have to put up with, and they don't want the headaches. They get enough of pointy-haired bosses; they don't want another one, even if the new one is supposed to be on their side.
I don't think so (sticking it to SV). He was threatening to reform the H-1B visa program during his campaign.
Let me introduce CASUVP -- Cooperatively Ad-stripped universally viewable pages. It's a concept, there's no implementation yet.

Basically, it's a version of the web where users cooperatively clean up web pages from ads and other unwanted material (e.g. scrollbar-hijacking, user-tracking), so that only the plain text with minimal markup of the article, and images remain.

The cleaned-up pages are distributed by torrent or by IPFS, and there is a consensus algorithm to make sure that pages are not tampered with (e.g. by content distributors).

Browser plugins help users view and seed the material.

Now if only people pick up this idea and implement it...
>And if you like your bookmarks synced between mobile and desktop, that makes Chrome on desktop no-go option too.

1. Slowing down the action e.g. playing a piano or a violin at a painfully slow rate to make errors more noticeable

Interesting to contrast this advice with the HN story from the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13570892

In that document, several authorities point out that learning Morse code by listening to characters being sent at a painfully slow rate is actually counterproductive -- as in, the worst possible way to go about it. You never learn what the characters really sound like if you do that. Is there an analogous effect at work when learning a new musical instrument?
Anecdotally, I feel football is gradually losing ground among younger generations. My sports-watching-est friends seem to be less and less devoted to football in particular and more interested in other, more niche sports. Even those strongly allegiant to football are less insistent on catching many individual games real-time as they are staying informed about the league overall and watching highlights or stream or DVR when they can.

In Europe they mostly have, but it's still so variable and subjective. For one thing, people are very different sizes, based on your market. I mean, I'm a "large" here (in Europe) but a "medium" in America, presumably because the average American is considerably fatter than a European of similar height.

And tailoring/fashion add another layer of subjectivity. A pair of size 34 jeans are much tighter in Europe than the US, because that's de moda. And there's considerable variation between brands, depending on how they want you to look when you wear their stuff.

In the end, there's just no getting away from the fact that you'll need to try clothes on if you want a good fit.

Unsurprisingly, I care more about my own friends and family than a situation I understand little about. On a global scale, everything is trivial. I'm not going to stop trying to improve the circumstances immediately around me because things are worse somewhere else.
Any sufficiently large project that pulls in dependencies will likely involve you dealing with all 4 of them.

Which describes my current work situation. However, this would seem to imply that a startup or a small project would be able to set up a C++ project with a beautiful, cohesive subset of C++. Your point is something that people who are serious about language design for programming "in the large" should definitely pay attention to.

This is one reason why I doubt adding more features to C++ (making it 5) is going to make the language any more pleasant to use (outside toy, one person programs).

How do you distinguish between one, two, three, or four person projects? Can you really make such a blanket statement about all the different possible codebases that exist? Methinks you exaggerate.

(And I say this as a former dyed-in-the-wool minimalist Smalltalker!)
Mesos with placement constraints solves this problem. In case of AWS, store the data on an EBS volume, use constraints to dedicate agents with specific hardware to the DB containers.

Rust doesn't have a new operator (its equivalent to malloc is Box). When that's used, it forces the value onto the heap- but that's not what you would write most of the time.

Local variables that are not explicitly heap-allocated (and don't have their address taken) can be on the stack or in registers, and this is true of both Rust and C/C++.
Because that would lead to a smaller Las Vegas which would hurt the livelihood of the constituents.
It's a similar situation for me. I've used Firefox for a long time, and it currently gives me the least-worst experience of the major browsers. That's probably the only reason I still use it.

I wouldn't say I like using Firefox, though. In fact, I think the user experience has gotten a lot worse for me over time. On more than one occasion I've wanted to move away from it.

Really the only thing that keeps me using Firefox is that none of the other major browsers offer a significantly more compelling experience at this time. I find all of the major browsers to be mediocre at best.

If a better non-Firefox browser did come along, I'd likely switch away from Firefox as soon as I found out about the alternative. I have no real ties to Firefox itself.

You can write a reference counter in three short lines of code that works the same as shared_ptr<T> or Swift. A modern automatic garbage collector requires a threading library plus tens of thousands of lines of intricate code. We're not comparing like with like here.
I wasn't really aware of the problems during the season. Such a small drop in SB ratings seems like a bit of a victory then I guess.
Wow, thanks for the reply. I copied the signature directly from your post and... it didn't work. I still got `user_index_handler` does not live long enough. But! If I replace

impl server::Handler for UserIndexHandler

with

impl UserIndexHandler

it does compile. Removing the trait impl was another thing recommended by the Arc guy at work, he didn't know how or why it worked. Here is the code that doesn't compile with updated Postgres: https://is.gd/fjYDIG.

Which brings me to a question, how does implementing a trait prevent this code from compiling? Sorry for comparing apples to oranges again, but in Go implementing an interface is an invisible operation, that doesn't affect compilation. What's different with Rust?
That's probably where I got the idea originally, tbh. I adore that story.

A lot of the work I'm doing right now is in a reasonably complex react native app with multiple screens. In that context its worth the added boiler plate. I wouldn't use it for a one or two screen app with little shared state.

At no time was the claim made that containers were more reliable than any other method of running a process, only that running a process within a container is not inherently less reliable than un-contained.

Unless you've gone out of your way, Docker (as well as other Linux container systems) are just namespacing your process. There's no extra abstraction layer, it's just a more restricted execution environment.

“URLs and origins represent, to some extent, trust and ownership of content. When you’re reading a New York Times article, a quick glimpse at the URL gives you a level of trust that what you’re reading represents the voice of the New York Times. Attribution, brand, and ownership are clear.”

Oh, Google suddenly acknowledges the value of real URL for the user...
Two which spring to mind:

(1) Email link. It has a menu item (File -> Email link) but no shortcut. Perhaps worse, the standard OSX means of adding a shortcut to a menu item (via System Prefs -> Keyboard) doesn't work with firefox. An assigned shortcut will very briefly flash the menu name, but doesn't then select the item.

(2) Chrome has a general dialogue for assinging keyboard shortcuts to extensions. As firefox doesn't, the user is at the mercy of extension developers, many of whom seem to be mousers.
Can this data mean that a significant part of "gig economy happens to be a fad, similar to 3D TVs or Groupon? I.e. that value of relevant companies could and would soon significantly shrink, just like it happened with Groupon and its clones, after they went through the whole body of SMBs (for most the deals were NOT profitable) and the deal-seeking individuals. The main difference being that attractive pricing for the labor-sharing and capital-sharing platforms was funded and subsidized by VC money, while for Groupon and clones money for reduced pricing went out of pockets of SMBs...
The heat map integration is nice, I wonder why real-estate listing websites don't provide something like this already.

The TV can only ID what it is that you are watching if the system has also been watching the same video/seen the same video/is also watching the same in real-time as you watch it.

Aren't there digital watermarks on all broadcast TV shows and advertisements? If not, if there's a fingerprinting algorithm that can run on a screen's hardware, or filename matching for USB, media could still be identified. No need for the rest of "the system" to have video files in advance, or at all.
>so you still have to pay for a click even if the user never really visited your website

Don't you mean so you get paid for a click even if the user never visited your website?
No, you don't need to do any of that stuff to disprove an invalid claim.

A claim was made that "I feel that regulation makes things clean and safe". I pointed out that that claim is utterly false using actual examples. I don't have to prove that regulation doesn't work anywhere, I only have to prove that it doesn't work somewhere. And in the places I've used taxis (NJ, AZ), they're awful. I have used them in NYC too, and those are OK (though to be fair, I'm not black, which I've read is a big problem there). You're right: it depends on the city, etc. Regulations and regulators are different in different places. But to make the broad claim that "regulation is wonderful!!" is blatantly false, and easily disproven by showing only one example of a place where it doesn't work right. Now, if you want to make the claim that "regulation works really well in location X", that's a defensible claim, and only disproven by showing that things are actually bad in location X (and not other locations).

This seems to be the problem with this whole regulation vs. anti-regulation argument WRT taxis and hotels: the pro-regulation people cherry-pick a few places where things seem to be OK. The anti-regulation point out that their experiences in other places are entirely different. The pro-regulation people them stick their fingers in their ears and refuse to believe that there's places where regulations don't work well. Maybe regulation really does work well in those cherry-picked places, but that doesn't help the places where the regulation is bad and the regulators are corrupt.
Thanks for the critique! This is actually super helpful to me as I try to grow as a Rust developer.

The point I'm trying to make though, is that if the developer's focus is on rapid development (which I imagine most people in webdev are), then at the end of the day I just want to urldecode something, and not necessarily worry about the character encodings etc.
If a casino lost money more often than not... well, there'd be no more casinos. C'mon, be at least slightly realistic here. Where is it written that casinos are supposed to provide you with great odds? It's entertainment.
The server itself doesn't (you don't get extra load), but analytics is forwarded to you. So you can still get the numbers you need to convince the higher ups, just not directly from your server logs.
I would not expect it to get implemented soon. It is not a very common use case. I don't think there are a lot of people/businesses run static HTML websites. So unless someone at MS convinces themselves that this is indeed a nice-to-have feature, it probably won't get implemented.

Same thing happened with ICMP (ping) support in Azure: Azure does not support ICMP. I personally expected this feature to get implemented for 4 years I worked there because I needed it myself many times. Turns out people can totally live without it and it is not a deal breaker. Last week this request got rejected for a foreseeable future. https://feedback.azure.com/forums/217313-networking/suggesti...

For instance, Google Cloud Storage (GCS) support static websites, and in addition you can use the "gsutil rsync" command, which works just like rsync to upload your website with the Google Cloud SDK. I was impressed when I first found that out. And it works out of the box just fine, I'll migrate my website to this soon.

Perl 6 is my go-to language for writing command line utilities. The combination of MAIN subroutines, named regexes and full-blown grammars makes it simple to write documented, maintainable programs that can parse just about anything. Oh and Unicode support is awesome. This protobuf grammar is a good example of what Perl 6 grammars are like - https://github.com/donaldh/p6-pb/blob/master/lib/PB/Grammar.... - and worth comparing to the official protobuf language specification - https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/referenc...
> like making the textfield get focus in the first name field on a form.

React et al is not for this kind of work. If you're doing things that add niceties to interactions or some basic form validation, then you do not need a framework like Angular. Use jQuery or similar. But if you need to, for example, write a very UI heavy and data intensive app, then you'll probably want to use an existing framework like React. Or you could spend 6 months or 3 years writing your own framework before getting any actual work done.
Not surprised to see no mention of UWP (Windows app dev) but I would figure that Instagram for Windows 10 Mobile would also be similar to the iOS/Android apps because UWP supports React Native?
I started using sqlbrite (in combination with sqldelight) and stopped treating the database as an object store. Instead I create an interface for the data the customer needs (e.g. an item interface for elements in a listview), write a select query whose result fulfills this interface, and let the rest happen via databinding.
This seems to work fine up to a couple of thousand of elements for me.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about fines for clearly criminal activity. This is most likely a felony issue at hand, here. The executives who green-lighted this activity should be held accountable and charged accordingly. That's the only thing people understand. That, or ruinous fines. Not a paltry $2.2M for a company with revenues of $3.1B - that's less than 0.1%!!! That's a rounding error to them. $10,000 per occurrence for the company would be much better, and jail for the executive(s) who are responsible, and then this crap might actually stop.
Last I'd heard, the Facebook app was still native per platform and not using React.

It was just a test for the venue provider, which is a really clever way of sneaking in a kill-switch as well.

Nothing stopping you from running your own server... I don't get what you mean about "in private".
The issue is that google has been pushing these slow, bulky pages to the top of their results, then they swoop in with AMP to fix the problem. The problem AMP is trying to solve is very real, but the answer isn't to consolidate things further into google's ecosystem.

Yes. My understanding from conversations with those in the know, and our limited testing at AMP launch, is that you treat the CDN as a proxy. All the downsides of losing visibility to your domain and none of the upside from offloading traffic.

That being said, we did notice some single digit percentage traffic bumps when we rolled out AMP, and it felt really good telling the hordes of product/business people that I literally couldn't add the dozens of analytics scripts they wanted.
