This is already being done.

Swift 4 (unreleased) has source compatibility with Swift 3 [0], so all Swift code working today should work in the next version, no migrator necessary.

Additionally, the goal of Swift 4 is to finalize the ABI. Once that is done, you can mix and match different Swift versions in the same project.

The real "problem" here is that Swift wants to be a "big" language, in the vein of C++ or Rust, as opposed to a "small" language like C or JS where you can read one book. (Swift does have a book, it's 1200 pages.) There's a lot of "stuff": a complex typesystem, many basetypes, generics, extensions, both static and dynamic dispatch, programmer-assisted memory management, closures, visibility, ephemerals, optionals, a mutability-based memory model, etc. etc.

Inevitably some of that stuff won't be quite right and so you have churn. But ideally you only need 10% of those (it's just that everybody needs a different 10%) and so the amount of churn you personally have to deal with should be low, and can be lower with the appropriate tooling.

The ideology in their logic: "Mecca" is bad because muslims are bad. Hackers are bad because they "think different" about your intended use for the technology.

"Apple said we would be the only state that would pass this, and that we would become the mecca for bad actors," (implying that hackers are bad actors)

"They said that doing this would make it very easy for hackers to relocate to Nebraska." (implying that Mecca is where bad people go)

Its good to know some things never change[0]

> This situation is identical to the one in Israel.

Although they are still called credit cards ("kartisei ashrai" == "כרטיסי אשראי") in Israel, and there are some other minor wrinkles, like the way you pay interest rather than penalties when you overdraw your bank account ("overdraft" == "אוברדראפט"), though it is still more expensive than a loan, so something like 3/4 of the population is always overdrawn by some amount.
It pretty much is, in the sense that there's no revolving credit associated with the card, merely a monthly limit (typically 2 or 3 thousands euro) and your account will be overdrawn if there isn't enough money when the bill is charged.

The thing is, both Visa and MasterCard have credit and debit versions of their cards. And thanks to recent European laws, the card has to explicitly state which kind it is, since the transaction fees are different for the merchant (and are capped to 0.3 and 0.2% respectively). Now in France, you won't get a Maestro or Vpay card even if you want a true debit card. It'll be a MasterCard or Visa. Payments are either debited right away or at the end of month. And banks have started to emit "debit" cards for the former, and "credit" versions for the latter, but it's completely irrelevant for domestic payments.
>Your argument presupposes that the only place morals can be derived from is religion ...

not exactly, because:

> where [the rules' existence] is the entire argument for why you should follow them.

also counts for secular law. Religions just suppose a common denominator for justice, and always via authority, in form of personification in priests, juges, elders, oneself and messages via koans, laws and other scripture.

The content of the message may be however debatable, because the argument of authority alone is not sufficient (as netiquette has it), but is not a fallacy that would subvert its message (except that power might corrupt).

>God says so, end of discussion

in context of social order the end of discussion means first of all that there are no further hints, so to speak, and you have to work out the hows and whys yourself.

All this is just life and atheists aren't free of it either. They prescribe to the opposition of a concrete religious ideal or otherwise don't care about it. But socially critical opinions especially can only be derived from social feedback, either way. Even if exclusive authority seems unacceptable, that can be helped by granting everyone some authority, instead of disregarding it for those offenders (ie. that god guy who I here so much about).

Edit: So of course, you are right, atheist do not fundamentally reject fundamentalism (you see, that would be paradox). I was just trying to say, I liked the first part of your comment better.

The purpose of the "Considered Harmful" headline was, and always has been, to draw attention. And it's frequently been successful, both in the original attempt and here as well.
Why hidden? Has it occurred to you that a Nintendo employee could just message you on discord for access?
I highly doubt that, considering how costly the rocket and the payload are.

It would probably drive up insurance costs significantly too.
I'm Russian and "Как вы на это увидел" is not correct. In fact, I don't even know what that's supposed to mean, sorry. "Как вы на это смотрите" on the other hand is perfectly normal and basically means "What do you think of that".
Why do you call it an accusation, do you have proof the parents is not knowledgeable on the topic ?
GUI is not a problem, you can always tweak it or delegate it for little money. The big problem is how to force yourself to do it regularly in long term, at leat in my case.

I think that good idea is to integrate it with bot on your IM platform of choice. Messenger bot, in my case, could ask randomly what I'm doing and track it.
Well, not "reverse engineering", sorry, but that's the idea: did they use the same algorithms and rewrote them exactly as same in OCaml? did they find anything that could be done better? etc.
More than one would be good, but it's probably hard to explain to layman how to choose a phrase for which they can create an accurate model that's so cheap it can run continuously.
I guess Nintendo's play is to make exclusive games for the Switch and hope that it's enough to get users to buy the console and then hope that enough people buy it that developers are willing to make games for that platform.

Which I guess is everyone's console strategy, but it feels like a questionable one when there are so many casual alternatives on mobile. It also doesn't seem like a very consumer friendly strategy to me. With the Wii at least they tried something new and there actually seemed to be a reason to make a new console besides making money for Nintendo.

Are you planning on making a game for the Switch? Are you waiting to see what sales numbers are like? What would it take for you to make a game there?

I'm not even going to joke about anyone making an Android TV focused game.
The AppStore is not 100% 'family friendly'. There are M rated games available for Wii and Wii U.

You're projecting this ideology onto Apple.

Out of all of the places that people make pilgrimages to, Mecca is the most well known, and therefore commonly used to refer to a place that's popular for likeminded followers to visit. E.g:It's very common in Canada for marijuana enthusiasts to refer to Vancouver as the Mecca of pot in Canada. There's no negativity in that phrase at all.
What's your opinion there?

Any suggestions, for someone building a personal db.
I really do hope one day to return to the ease of smalltalk without the oddity of the software images it presents.

Nuclear energy is clean and to some extent cheap.

But, if a war breaks out and someone bombs a nuclear reactor, it will be messy to clean up the mess.
Yes, some websites will automatically block the attempt and further attempts, other will challenge the user with multifactor auth etc.

Google is sending an email every time you login in a different OS or browser even if you are on the same city.
Before we know it there will be TV ads similar to "Switch to Sprint" but with VPS Hosting. I can already see in my mind a young customer support person talking to the camera and saying "we'll even cover your switching fees up to $650".

Using Mecca in the context of 'central gathering point' is very common in the English langusnge and it's use here or otherwise carries no conotation that muslims are bad. If you want to see hate your going to find it everywhere you look.

I don't know how this website actually works, but if I wanted to make a website like this, here's how I would do it.

The first thing on my mind would be avoiding detection. You can't spin up 5 DO droplets and do your work from there-- every IP you use needs to be a residential IP, and you need thousands of IP addresses. You could go to the trouble of building your own botnet, but that's illegal and very difficult.

Luckily, there's an application called Hola that has convinced 20 million people to willingly join their botnet, and you can buy yourself access to it right here: https://luminati.io .

You'd think that would be the hardest part, but that service means it's the easy part. Now I'd need to go learn PhantomJS and start creating accounts-- being sure to keep each account appearing at a particular IP address. The hardest part is generating some credibility for these accounts. They should always look like they're active-- so I'd be sure to have each account load far more posts than they vote on, and I would upvote plenty of things that I wasn't paid to upvote. Just to generate some randomness.

But that only gets me part of the way there-- these accounts would also need to contribute. My first thought is that you could just scan for reposts in the default subreddits and then repost popular top-level comments from the previous post. I've actually seen this pointed out a few times on reddit. With the amount of comments reddit gets, they probably don't have the resources to detect duplicates.

Hackernews would be significantly harder-- I have no idea how you could generate relevant comments without doing it by hand. That's my guess as to what they're doing.
You're exactly describing how iOS AppStore apps work, i.e. Encrypted binary segment that is decrypted when paged in.
I'm sure where there is a will, there is a way...
He was on site with engineers. This is such a bizarre thing to be doubtful of.
Larry Page calls this the "magic moment" at Google...

Anyway, I'm not sure you'll find what you want with data. Usually you understand what the magic moment is by putting yourself in the position of your customers and then using your own product. Or trying to use your product and identifying the moment where your reaction goes from "meh, who cares" to "oh, wait, this is really exciting!". If you're not your target user, watch your users using your product and carefully observe their facial expressions. The magic moment is entirely emotional; that's what makes it magical.
Medicare For Everybody would solve some problems, no doubt. I expect the opposition comes from the right, who are worried that the initial program, no matter how modest, would be the thin end of the wedge that eventually leads to the complete socialization of American medicine.
If this version had existed before I bought my Steam Link, I would probably have this instead of my Steam Link + Roku + Google Home.

It seems like the only reason to get the Switch is platform exclusives, which has always felt like a gamer-hostile move.
Proof of work systems were originally designed to combat these types of 'spammy' behavior.

Give a challenge string and ask the user submitting an upvote to compute a nonce that when added to the string would produce an hash with 10 leading zeros. User submits the calculated nonce, the server computes the hash for challenge string + nonce and the upvote is registered. This makes it computationaly expensive for an upvote provider to submit hundreds of upvotes
> because they "think different"

One of Apple's whole marketing campaigns was about thinking different.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth here.
That's a strong word. Also what are you accusing OP off? Everything OP has said? Maybe you should clarify things before coming off as butthurt.
"A Mecca for X" is a very common expression in several languages and AFAIK it never had a bad connotation.

Why do you think towns and cities are usually located adjacent to navigable waterways and natural harbors, going back thousands of years?

Take a trip down the Rhein river some day. There's a medieval castle at every opportunity next to the river. They were built to extract tax from the river traffic. The Rhein was the highway through Germany until railroads.

Just use an adblocker, then you don't need to wait on them to do anything.
Given how expensive nuclear is, running it for emergencies and peak loads is not a good economic plan. Given that concrete generates a lot of carbon, you're better off using natural gas peaker plants.
>It all comes down to writing code on a whiteboard or in a notepad.

Thanks for elaborating but that's sad news. I thought we had all collectively decided this was a horrible way to interview people. If a company absolutely must have code written, assign all interviewees a programming task and have them submit it through GitHub or on your site. Something that shouldn't take more than 30 minutes for a moderate developer. Anyone who doesn't complete it gets filtered, and you get a good example of their thinking, style, sloppiness, comment habits, etc. If you think they nicked it from the internet, have them make a slight change.

I've always considered the ability to be able to design a piece of software or module from nothing to something complete in a moderately elegant way was way more important than if someone had memorized how some algorithm works without ever having the need to implement it.

It's akin to asking a painter how to build various types of brushes and how to harvest paint, or an author how to make pens. That ability isn't useless, but certainly don't make that the focus of your interview.

I want experienced software designers, they can learn anything they are lacking with whatever stack we use in house in just a few weeks. I'll just stick to using my methods and wait until the industry catches up. :)
Or the Chinese, Venezuelans and Indians are buying BTC because either somebody else is in control of their currency or their currency is out of control.
True, the implementations were lacking some finesse. But a proper keychain type cert store handled by the operating system should in theory be able to protect the certificate against usermode malware (perhaps by only coughing up the certificate to an application signed with the same code signing ID as the application that inserted the certificate, and/or after an elevated password prompt)
A hip replacement seems like it would be closer to $30,000. Still not particularly affordable, but a lot less than $100,000.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/04/health/for-medical-tourist...

I guess for someone ~60, 3 years of US health insurance would be in the ballpark.

Edit: Here's a place located in the US that is specializing in medical tourism, estimated $25,000 for the hip replacement procedure: https://surgerycenterok.com/?procedure_category=hip#jump

That isn't the total cost, it doesn't include imaging and stuff. But that won't be $75,000 either.
>maybe

Maybe not! Maybe they depend so much on current state the questions have to be adapted and repeated. Maybe we only find partial solutions and depend on other one's answers, and we deny the answers that we don't like or because they are outdated or still incomplete.
Surely autonomous subs would make sense to hard to reach markets like the UK?
What do, for example, tourists pay? When I buy a plane ticket to the US, there is travel insurance, but I have never needed to use it and do not know how it would work.
Thorium reactors have too much going on inside the reactor, and a radioactive chemical plant outside it. The history of nuclear reactors indicates that plants with anything complex going on inside run into problems. Sodium reactors have sodium fires. Helium reactors leak. Pebble bed reactors jam. Boring old water reactors are about all that can be made to work for decades.

Running a radioactive chemical plant usually results in a toxic waste site. All three US reprocessing plants are now major toxic waste sites.
Uber likes to keep the illusion that they aren't employing drivers, part of this means they don't record the full fare as revenue. Uber's revenue is just their take of the ride. The full amount of money is "gross bookings" which probably won't change a ton at first, but money actually going to Uber (revenue) will definitely surge.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/briansolomon/2016/01/12/leaked-u...

> However, gross bookings is not the same as net revenue, which came in at $663.2 million in the first half of 2015, compared to $495.3 million in all of 2014. That's the amount Uber actually receives before costs but after it pays drivers their cut and accounts for promotions, driver incentives, and more. For example, Uber paid out $2.72 billion to driver contractors in the first half of 2015, just under 75% of bookings.

So in the first half of 2015 they had $3.63b in gross bookings, but just $663.2m in revenue. If you magically switched out all the drivers to robots revenue would match bookings which is a 5.5x boost.
Except in this case it's like removing the bed so I can't hypothetically transport large quantities of nitroglycerin (addons with tracking) but they're preventing me from transporting anything of interest (tab mix plus).

I'll just use the Firefox LTS until it stops working with the modern web. By then hopefully the issue will be solved (perhaps by me, as I'm a dev).
Thanks for the advise, I passed it on to our UX team. I agree that rewriting in Vue is just an element of having a good interface and that the menu itself is very important too.
Hidden just to keep the details of findings slightly lower key until we're ready to do something with them. Nintendo folks could certainly message for access, but I'm not too terribly worried about that; if they patch our bugs in the next version, at least we'll have a toehold.

Edit: Also, the whole reason I decided to get back into this was to have a nice challenge, and to turn the Switch into the ultimate portable emulation console. What's the fun of it without the challenge? I look forward to the cat-and-mouse game.
Why Do Americans Refrigerate Their Eggs?
I think you're underestimating how carefully Apple chooses it's words when it's crafting these one-line public statements. When they use an ambiguously charged word like 'Mecca', they have carefully worked through every possible sub-text that might be associated with it, and if they use the word, then they are intentional about having those subtexts be associated with their statements.

They could have said that 'right to repair legislation will turn Nebraska into a hub for Hackers', but that's not what they said.
I am a bit surprised at the amount of credit (pun unintended) given here to Simmons, completely ignoring the contributions of Dee Hock[0] who started the BankAmeriCard[1] revolving credit system that later became Visa.

I think you'll find once you're excited about something, the story telling comes naturally.

A truly boring day can't be exciting. Honestly, I think the only answer to this is the most obvious. Stop having boring days.

Do things you enjoy and you'll gather talking points for people who also enjoy those things. Explore and enjoy more types of things, and you'll be able to interact with more people.

Maybe read an article/book or watch a video at work about something new that you'd enjoy sharing. Personally, I'll sometimes watch PBS Space Time on Youtube and share what I learned with people who also have their mind blown easily. It's a ton of fun.
The "don't spend money before you have to" rule is in effect! Good work.

Seriously, you don't need to be really good with this tax return. Say you wildly miscategorize expenses. The net profit is the same, so the tax is unchanged.

Agreed, I'd even go so far to say he is on par with Flanders and Swann, although obviously targeting a different market.
I think his main complaint is that Apple should stop publishing sample code (which they update sporadically at best) in Swift when the language is changing so much. At WWDC this year I believe virtually all code shown on screen was Swift, but ObjC would have been fine for almost everything.

More broadly, I think Apple should have marketed Swift as "beta" until at least v3, to really make clear (especially to managers) what it means to have a language with constant source-breaking changes.
