I would add that there is absolutely no technical reason why an application expressed in one language need not be as fast as an application expressed in another. First, compilers improve static analysis, and second, JIT analysis will also improve. For this sort of thing, running on the GPU matters a lot more than source language, and WebGL has you covered there.
Integrated browsers really bug me and I wish Apple would update their TOS to require launching Safari (or better the user's choice)

The problem with integrated browsers is the AFAICT the app doing the integration can read everything that goes through it. That means if you click link and it links to page that asks you to login the app hosting the integrated browser can read the keys/input/network traffic. How can I trust any such app not to be spying on me? Sure I have to trust Apple with Safari or Google with Chrome or Mozilla with Facebook but that's 3 companies to trust, not one company per app * every 3rd party library they integrated.

At maybe a more minor level it also means the hosting app can read every URL you visit from linked pages.

Great job Expo team! :)

I think between Sketch and Create-React-Native-App, you guys are solving the single biggest problem in React Native right now: getting started. The relatively complex environment setup really discourages newcomers. Once they try it in the browser first, they're sure to love it :) After that, Create-React-Native-App makes setting up a breeze.

I plan on using both of these things in my React Native classes, since they're going to save a lot of time and effort!
>> the Mexican cantina I visited in Milwaukee

Every 'Mexican' restaurant around here has the same furniture, menus, plates. It all has the exact same hand-painted looking Mexican caricatures and scenes on it it. So tacky.
It's the natural result of the glorification of greed and selfishness. I recommend checking out Chomsky's "Requiem for an American Dream" documentary, it expands on some of the ideas you've touched on here.
Probably not very many people tell themselves that. Seems more like something cynical and judgmental people assume other people tell themselves.

But I can tell you almost anything creative / productive / self-developmental feels more rewarding than the time I fritter away doing nothing on the internet, like idly scrolling Reddit.

I'm not content that my default mode is to do things that never feel rewarding. So any minute I can reclaim for something more self-developmental, like a Duolingo Spanish exercise, makes my life a little better and satisfying in my own eyes.
Does that not mean that it's the canonical one which other implementations should be measured against? That would seem to imply just the opposite.
It's worth noting that MATLAB is a horrible language despite it's massive success. I feel like I'm baffled by something new in the design every day.
Ask HN: A creative way for an “offline” progress bar?
I want to mark progress of some habits I try to establish. Like eating an apple a day, or doing pushups in the morning. I feel that tracking progress in an non-app/software way will help me stick longer to those habits.

I ran out of ideas for such an "offline" progress bar.

So far I tried using a self made bar of bubble wrap: each time I completed a task, I would pop a bubble. It's even fun to pop a bubble, but its really hard to see how much I already accomplished (because its just not that visible on transparent bubble wrap). Also, sometimes it kinda not making the pop noise which is actually a bit demotivating (seriously).

Also, the obvious one: using pen and paper and noting it after each completed task. That's really not working for me, as it feels to much like book-keeping and less natural.

Do you have a better ideas of how such an offline progress bar could work?

That might have been true originally, but I don't think anyone uses LLVM like a JVM/CLR-esque VM any more. As the parent states, the original Low-Level Virtual Machine initialism was even retracted, meaning the project's name is just the "arbitrary" sequence of letters LLVM, with no particular meaning assigned to them.
I like these rules, but for myself, I always struggle with #4. For a while, "my best" was a half-hearted effort. "Oh well," I'd think, "this is the best I can do." Around college I had a resurgence of willpower, and "my best" became unhealthy obsession - dangerously low calories, dangerously frequent lifting, etc. Finding a balance there is a question I think about often. Technically, "my best" can easily kill me. It's not just about effort, it's about a high amount of thought and consideration into whatever it is - finding a weight target and just choosing a date for it to avoid over-dieting. Taking only so many classes that I can still have a social life. Etc.
It's a good description of the type of people I like to be around. By extension, it seems like a good way to be a person who makes friends easily.

Ask HN: Project Euler-Type Challenges for Data Science / Analysis?
I've used DataCamp a few years ago to get started with data analysis in Python and R. Learning to code through the browser, and "get this answer right" in order to advance the course you're taking is a great way to mix theory and practice. Recently, I've discovered Project Euler, and fell in love with its format.

Is anyone aware of similar short-form, challenge-type websites out there, focusing on data science / analysis? Using real datasets to answer specific questions, possibly with many in the "very hard" end of the spectrum.
It's the inconvenience of having multiple accounts and logins with multiple services.

You call it the underlying mechanic. I call it the only necessary mechanic. If those additional mechanics are where the security issues come from, then just get rid of them.

I think maybe the basic idea is that by utilizing more cores and getting more done concurrently, they leave more idle time per frame for the GC to work. If that's the case, it doesn't necessarily solve the problem, but it may move the bar enough to be currently usable and useful.
This unfortunately does not account for different groups having different starting luck. I suppose you can in part handle that by having very large groups but since luck is luck simply the process of selection, even if random, is biased which gives you another problem.
It was mentioned on reddit as well that there are videos on iTunes that are not on YouTube and that the iTunes videos will be removed as well.
Yes. We're almost now risking it going the other way, that some bad programming goes unchecked for a long time, because overall, the process sort of does what it should. Even if it restarts like 10 times a day.
No they shouldn't, and stop spreading FUD. First of all, the headline has a blanket statement that they should be avoided, whereas the article says don't use them for sessions (which I agree with). There are many other uses for JWT that aren't sessions. The vulnerabilities the article brings up were quickly patched in all major libraries quite a while ago.
Isn't this the same that was on Reddit?

> I like Julia because it's extremely fast

...compared to Python, under some circumstances, disregarding startup time.

Don't oversell it. Don't confuse what Julia aspires to be with what it is, or you'll just turn people off when they feel they've been misled. There are extremely fast ahead-of-time-compiled languages that would have finished their computation while Julia is still JIT-ing its kernel.
No, safety and fuel regulations did not send prices of cars into the stratosphere. In the 1960's suburbs of Philadelphia, gas was 30 cents a gallon, a nice new car was $3k, the house cost $30k, and Dad made $10k as a VP of engineering at a small firm. Right now, all three are almost exactly 10x what they were then; so cars have not gone up more than regular inflation.

And, to top it off, today's car reliability is way, way higher, as is the quality (in the 60's, we were thrilled if a car lasted 6 years and got 80k miles; nowadays, that's about half of what you'd expect. And the safety is wildly improved (like, for instance, air bags, never mind seat belts!)
Hmm. I guess I was envisioning the service as being the non-profit, and the disbursement need not be to other non-profits.

But this brings up a few interesting points. First, if you give only to the founder, and not the contributor, will this engender resentment? Second, ideally the result would be that the founder would work more on the project in a consistent way, but that sort of gift would need to be something more along the lines of a stipend over the course of a year or two. Third, if the amounts were large enough (which would be the case if every 6-figure dev gave $1k/year), you could do something along the lines of the MacArthur foundation so-called "genius grants".
Many of my acquaintances consider it to be named in poor taste.

In the summer of 1920, the Black and Tans burned and sacked many small towns and villages in Ireland, beginning with Tuam in County Galway in July 1920 and also including Trim, Balbriggan, Knockcroghery, Thurles and Templemore amongst many others. In November 1920, the Tans "besieged" Tralee in revenge for the IRA abduction and killing of two local RIC men. They closed all the businesses in the town, let no food in for a week and shot dead three local civilians. ..."

I think that anonymity works for discussion of topics, which I consider separate from the notion of social networks. Social networks are made to be social - their entire purpose is, at its root, the discussion of people. They're all about what I did, what you're doing, what "he's* planning to do. Take the names off of that and it's pointless.

I wouldn't consider 4chan, most of reddit, etc. to be social networks. They're not for discussion of people; they're for discussion of topics. I think that anonymity helps in those cases because it completely removes people from the discussion. All of the identity politics, the virtue signalling, the reputation whoring, and a good bit of the circlejerking disappears. When you anonymize the participants, all that's left is a discussion of the actual topic at hand. I think that's why such anonymous discussion boards work so well and continue to draw users.

Also, I wouldn't say that /b/ is "generalized" - it's random, but not generalized. The board as a whole does not have a set topic (besides "whatever doesn't fit in other boards"), but each of the threads does have a topic. People come to the board to find interesting threads, not because they find the board itself, as a whole, interesting.
Incidentally that was why the 'green book' was started. It's a sad thing indeed.

Why Is Silicon Valley So Awful to Women?
Stress. They say people will adapt to a "new normal" within 3-6 months of a major life change. I would argue that a person who is on the fence about a major life decision is maintaining a state of stress by not making the decision. Once they make the decision and commit to it, they will achieve the "new normal" in time, but will be freed from the stress of indecision. The relief of that stress should make them happier all by itself.

> taking quizzes where any moron with the ability to type would get 90% correct -- and then sharing the results with their friends.

This bothers me so much for some reason. Title a kindergarden math quiz "Only people with an IQ of 150 can pass this test! 90% of people cant!" and when people get a 100% on it, they will inevitably share it, to show off. And then another person sees it and says "there's no way cousin Sally could get that good of an IQ score! I've got to try this to prove that I'm better!"

It's clickbait that appeals to pride.

That was my assumption, and in that case I have no idea how it competes directly with Snapchat--Facebook basically invented that feature.

Apart from the use case that you have mentioned, there is another little way this can be helpful to users.

If any startup/side project is putting effort in Twitter, it is safe to assume that they will tweet at least 200 times a month (the number of recent tweets that this app searches). With that, users can check every month how their avg. likes and RTs are increasing (engagement level).

It would be useful to show Total likes and RTs for each source device, possibly in the line next to average numbers because most people are likely to average between 0 and 2 when they are starting and this is not encouraging.
Others have made this observation; you might be curious to see:

You're both giving me too much credit.

I think it depends a bit on class of errors. Certainly not everything is suitable for this treatment.

Lost connectivity to RabbitMQ or Elasticsearch would mean our site is dead anyhow (you can't do anything). So either of those errors should arguably result in some static 500 pardon-our-appearance page.

But say someone messes up the network connection or we get a brief problem.

Why wouldn't the nodejs process start quickly?
Why not?

Once you're on D7 the pawn can be captured or kept. If black moves to capture the pawn with a bishop, you move the king into pawn's old spot. You capture the black rook with the other pawn for the win.

If there are no more bishops on the diagonal, or if they move their king to the B column, then you get a Queen and finish them off.

πfs – A data-free filesystem
Right, I've read that it was mainly those apps (and Lotus-123 being huge [1] even among them) that made the IBM PC and clones (the PC's we now take for granted, though much more powerful now of course), take off as a product category (i.e. become wildly successful) and sell in the millions (both the hardware and the apps) - right from the early days, the '80's, I mean. IBM released the IBM PC in 1981, I've read, though Apple and others were in the home market from the mid-'70's or so.

[1] I read somewhere long ago that it (spreadsheets, and Lotus may have been the first one) replaced what were also called spreadsheets - physical ones used by accountants in the US - large sheets of paper for doing accounting calculations, with maybe many joined together to get more area. So an innovation like a spreadsheet, where you could simulate such large joined-together sheets by scrolling up/down/left/right, was a boon and a huge productivity aid to them, also the fact that you could edit data in-place without overwriting/strikeout, etc. And of course, formulae and automatic recalculation.
But that would be an authentic hockey stick. It'd just be a shit one.
I'm not sure I agree there. I think most of the responses were in the same vein as "look at these mindless sheep who can't lift their heads from their phones".

5. JWT has more LOC inside, say header payload is just useless. I believe having OpenSSL::HMAC helpers is better and simple enough to not do it wrong

This is the exact same argument for the dozens of hosting and even some "cloud" providers (which is really just rebranded hosting) that are quite capable of a) charging you the fair market price for what they're selling, and b) offering it with simple, unambiguous pricing structures.

Even Google's Cloud (which I don't use and don't promote) has managed to integrate long-term use discounts into their pricing structure so that you don't have to engage in craziness like this.

And FWIW, I would much rather deal with the complexities of a datacenter than specialize in the equal or greater complexities required to manage proprietary, black-hole solutions like this that serve to lock you in by forcing you to specialize in something that is not translatable to other service providers.
After playing 10+ hours on the Wii U, I can safely say the addition of the weapon fragility mechanic (after 20+ years of Zelda not having that mechanic) is the most frustrating aspect of this game.
