This is simply not true. C in this case is just an intermediate representation of the source program. Going through multiple intermediate representation of the source code is fairly standard practice when compiling anything. If anything it is easier to target C than directly generate target CPU assembly, because of the high level nature of C (you finish the compilation earlier, without last couple of lowering steps).

TV networks were also retracting their content from Netflix when they started seeing that it could one day replace them. It's good that Netflix managed to get big enough to publish so many shows and soon movies, because otherwise it would've probably started to go downhill.
Hmm. I live in Vietnam and fly out of country once or twice a month and I've never been asked to take an iPad out of my bag.

I fly SGP, SGN, BKK, TPE. SGN did have me remove my shoes last time I flew though, which was a first.
I don't see why these women can't be intelligent, but I agree with the correlation between insecurity and misery and shallow hedonistic behavior.

TV and cable puts out a lot of shows, so their top 5% is going to be better than netflixes average. But, IMO Netflix's average is fairly decent. It can also take a while for a show to hit it's groove. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrowingTheBeard

As someone who watches a lot of football, Bundesliga and international competitions like Champions League and Euro League, I share your pain. Since Sky lost the broadcast licenses to La Liga and Premier League, I subscribed to DAZN, a legal streaming platform for international sports, and despite several flaws it's better than Sky's abysmal online service and offers a very fair price.
"then that position is absolutely necessary as I'm trying to maximize profits"

Yes, that's the all point of the article and also the one I explaining: Capitalism is about "maximizing profits" not about social, intelectual, or even productive efficiency.
Who are getting value from the articles, you, or the readers ?

Getting visitors is like the chicken or the egg causality dilemma, you need to be on the first page of Google. And you can't get there unless you already are there ...

So before you write an article, make sure there are absolute no article on Google, even slightly relevant to the one you plan to write, so you are guaranteed to get onto the first page. Then when you start to get traffic, you have an entrance, where you can put more interesting and relevant content. It will also boost page rank for all other pages on your domain!!

This is actually an important thing to do and difficult for many of us "hacker" types that think more analytically.
There's a set of libraries like Aphrodite, Glitter, jsx-style, and JSS that help you do this. I'd look at some benchmarks [1] and do some comparison before you make a decision yourself.

I've worked extensively with Aphrodite (disclaimer, my employer maintains it) and have found it works with React to make a pretty good workflow for SPAs. It does require some buy-in from everyone involved with the codebase since you'll have Aphrodite-defined styles clashing with stuff in external stylesheets, and there are occasional edge cases where you'd like to use some crazy CSS selector that Aphrodite doesn't support, but this is often a sign that you should be restructuring your component in a more straightforward way.

The style reuse and composability story is very good, since all styles are wrapped around bare JS objects which are super easy to manipulate and the ES6 spread syntax [2] makes it all look very elegant. If it's important to you to keep styles and markup in different files, you can do that too as long as you're happy giving them all .js/.jsx/.ts extensions.

In general it is frustrating to me that total buy-in into the React model comes at the cost of support for actual standards like Web Components, but I never want to write UI in a non-declarative way again so I'm hoping someone smarter than I can figure out how to bring these two worlds together so we can let the browser properly namespace our CSS rather than relying on randomly generated class name infixes as Aphrodite does.

I've had a blog since 2009 (https://www.thenaterhood.com/blog). My personal network (classmates at the time) were, and still are, my biggest officially subscribed base as far as what I'm able to track with minimal effort.

I've been posting much more regularly this year - once a week, versus periodically, as a way to vent some of my frustration with the current state of affairs. Otherwise, I've been doing pretty much the same - post it then tweet it, Facebook it, and LinkedIn it. Being regular I've seen has drawn more attention than anything in the past. With a once a week post, I have more re-shares and more clicks than I have before. Part of it may also be that I'm doing less of just spouting things into posts, but doing a lot of research and linking out to my sources.

What's interesting about having an audience though, is that they seem to be harder to track these days. Most of my personal network uses adblock, ghostery, or other similar extensions to stay off the radar, so their visits don't show up. I know they're happening since I use trackable links when I share and the number of clicks is far and away higher than the number of visits Google Analytics logs. It also seems people are less likely to give out an email address or subscribe to a blog feed since it pops up on social media. I used to get the periodic new email subscriber, but I haven't had a new signup in years now.

Even for myself, I don't "subscribe" to blogs anymore. I hate seeing an unread count and all that which most feed readers provide because it feels too much like an inbox. Give me a list of headlines and let me decide what I'm going to read. In light of that, I periodically check in with blogs I read by directly visiting the site.
I can't speak to Sherlock Holmes, but Season 3 of Black Mirror is extraordinary. Nosedive could have been edited down substantially, but so could White Christmas or Fifteen Million Merits from the seasons before. I don't agree at all that there was any Netflix degradation.

Abstract is triple-A. A Chef's Table is triple-A. Stranger Things is triple-A.

We all have a sort of cynical habit of presuming that things once were good, and now they aren't. But Netflix has always been a mix of good and bad original content, especially when viewed from the subjective eye that what some of us think is great others think is terrible. They're trying to serve all markets.
I know there was some public talk a few years back about them using a combination of phosphorescent materials that absorbed and re-emitted specific frequencies of light. Not sure if that's what they ended up going with in the end.

The original House of Cards was also a mini-series of just 4 episodes; Netflix would have done well to understand why that was such a good idea.
I loved Stranger Things, as a die-hard X-Files fan (and similar type shows and movies) it was perfect for me.

I agree strongly with this. I lost all interest in Big Bang Theory when they started appealing to a wider audience.

Also we have Amazon Prime but rarely use it for the videos. It's a pain to watch except on our one tv with a computer hooked up to it. It's also the only video app we have that we can't stream to Chromecast. Is that $20 device really worth losing viewers over?

Most languages already have HTTP client libraries. (In particular, Rust has Hyper. Ruby/Python/Node/Go have HTTP clients built-in in the stdlib, Haskell has http-client, etc.) Who uses libcurl really? (Spoiler alert… PHP.)

Of course libcurl does FTP and Gopher and all the things, but these aren't commonly required, most applications just need HTTPS.
It does seem a little bit irrational to state that immigration is being used by corps to distract us, while ignoring the positive aspects of it.

From about 1870 to the 1960s stock quotes were communicated using stock tickers that communicated over telegraph lines and printed thin strips of paper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticker_tape

The system worked well until the 1960s when the volume of trading on busy days overwhelmed the system, sometimes delaying the quotes for hours. There had been plans to build a computer network already, but the data outages made it an urgent issue.

The classic book Business Adventures has a chapter on the chaos sowed by the failure of ticker tape.

I think you just made my point for me
I'm interested in the results of this, but I'd suggest holding off and posting this to HN (and elsewhere) when the task is done. At the moment what we've got here is a goal and a disassembled laptop with absolutely nothing hooked up to the Pi, which is not really that interesting.

I'd also suggest that sufficiently interesting stories about why you couldn't manage to do this would also be interesting. ("I couldn't ever get the adaptor"... probably not interesting. "So I had to 3D print it, which was harder than I expected."... interesting. "I tried for weeks to get the RPi working and it almost sorta worked but it was only in monochrome and I couldn't figure out why."... interesting, and probably enough to trigger other people to want to help!)
I think this is a good idea but as mentioned in the article the connectors to keyboard and monitor are hard.

I guess there are XF86 standards and stuff for the keyboard but I still find it hard to think that it will behave exactly like the original.

Further, I would like to see more info on if the LCD gets working with the RPi because it seems like a great project.

Still, good luck with how the conversion works in the end!
Have you tried doing string manipulation in C? ;)
> I wonder what the audio equivalent of this would be.

Voice transfer. Imagine your words in the voice of any celeb.
If you like component approach, take a look at Polymer, I'm right now working with react, and while it is OK, I've found that web standards based approache to components is better. And web components can be used in react or other solutions nicely.

Being "anti-react" doesn't mean anti-component approach. You can do same with angular 1.5+, vue, aurelia or others.
Which is why both the Ember.js project and Angular 2.0 have a cli now that provide standard commands for development and a standardized structure. Of course, both are much larger frameworks than React and attempt to provide a complete solution for web applications while React is just a popular view layer.

Could you elaborate on which certain societies you mean? Thanks.
See, this is exactly why I was pissed when they suddenly removed the SMS app from Android and replaced it with Hangouts. I knew we were being forced into another Google product doomed to be weakened and discontinued within a year or two.

All the while I had to explain to my grandmother that yes, she had a new messaging app and no, she couldn't use the old one anymore. And yes, it's confusing it's called Hangouts now.

Now I can look forward to the same explanation the other way around again.
Or those airports have poor security or are at risk of penetration by bad actors.
In my experience, many anti-spa people have seen too many poorly implemented single page apps (web fundamentals broken such as links and uris) and/or have out-of-date information that spa cannot properly support such things.

Cannot blame them, althought the situation is better nowadays, it's still not uncommon to find a spa site where the said things are broken.
Here are some example programs:

I've always thought that someone armed with an efficiently implemented Logic Programming Language could sweep through the first few rounds of competitions like Google Code Jam.
Doesn't seem like a super up-to-date article. AngularJS? that's not the name of it for quite a long time. Also Angular 4 is out (or just in general, Angular) and the article mentions Angular 2 as the new thing.
I think the strongest argument is "rewriting would introduce lots of new bugs that we don't have now". It's a lot easier to justify staying the course with C on a project that has its troubled youth long behind it, than it is to justify starting a new project in C now.

I used to think reality TV was padding too. Maybe these kinds of shows just are not meant for us?

Have you actually watched both versions of the show? Sure they share a basic theme and a few plot points from the original are used in the first season of the US version, but the US version quickly becomes its entirely own thing and calling it a remake is simply inaccurate.

That being said I do feel the US version has very much overstayed its welcome.
Think of it as a way to create your own complex HTML controls like the combobox/select. And just like those, try to give all information it needs to work via attributes or sub-elements.
I think this is a flawed mindset for a number of reasons.

First, I'd rather appeal to every user than most users. That one user I didn't have to appeal to is going to be a much more faithful and grateful user than the "normal" ones. Most of my software work is open source (remember this context is a discussion about curl), and this encourages active collaboration with users with niche situations. If I choose technologies that make using my software attainable for these people, odds are they aren't going to stop at just porting it to their platform.

Limiting your platforms to Linux, OSX, and NT also stifles innovation. These platforms are all deeply flawed. Their popularity isn't due to having the best design, but rather to having a good enough design and being entrenched. They're old platforms, we've learned a lot since they were started. New or niche platforms bring a lot of value to the table. The BSDs are a great example, as it's the best suited platform for a wide variety of applications.

All a new platform has to do to be able to run nearly all general purpose software is port a C compiler. Not even that - they just need a cross compiler. This is a great thing, IMO.

>Embedded can maintain their own software, they do all the time

This is a pretty silly argument. Most embedded developers don't ship their own implementation of HTTP, they ship curl!

It helps that network boundary typically becomes responsibility boundary (different teams)... in the end disciplined devs will make it work anywhere, anyhow.

Yeah I wonder if Google realized that people were reading long form content (much of it hosted off Google) without ads. Thus their own audience was being shunted off-site without revenue.

That interpretation only makes sense if you think Google would rather have more good little click monkeys than organizing good content...

You're right. It's all about the long tail.

Netflix (and amazon) are in a powerful position to analyze and understand what people really want in a way that cable and networks (remember those) simply can't match.

Providing "hits" to relatively small demographics over and over again, I think, might make more business sense than going up against the more experienced competition for mass-appeal.

"Stranger Things" is a good example, it was a pitch-perfect, nuanced thriller series. I dare say it was an 80's period piece. That's niche. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but damn it was cool.

By appealing to the long tail, Netflix can make smaller demographics VERY HAPPY with their product, one demographic at a time. This is perhaps better than trying to please everyone at once with a blockbuster hit.
I like that Netflix invests to produce their own shows, but I feel like the end game of this is that Netflix becomes just another studio. I'd like a world where I can legally watch any movie for a small fee better than a world where I have to subscribe to ten different Internet-TV-Stations to get access to their respective content silo.
That doesn't work when you need to be clicking around and focusing other windows while keeping time.
I'm a little skeptical—it sounds like the claim here is that we just have some technical hurdles, and we'll need some cheap electricity. Missing from this discussion is an analysis of the environmental impact of recycling and the environmental impact of mining.

By no means am I making claims about how batteries will be recycled in the future, I just think we should base our policy decisions on the science. Recycling lithium batteries is not easy, since they tend to blow up. The main recycling processes either toss them in an incinerator, cryogenically freeze them, or chop them up in an inert atmosphere. Most of them recover negligible amounts of lithium, which is cheap to mine anyway.
As someone who works a lot with React — and have previously worked with things like Rails and Backbone — I adamantly disagree that the benefits are trivial or that it's more complicated. The functional component architecture makes it considerably easier to create less buggy UIs with less messy codebases.

You sound like you don't really know or understand React. Which is fine, but it doesn't put you in a good position to criticize it intelligently. React isn't popular because of any kind of echo chamber phenomenon. It's popular because of its design; it managed hit a particular very sweet spot combining the various principles of composition, modularity, functional purity and internally consistent state management.

I do agree that web apps aren't as good as desktop apps. But that's not the fault of SPAs.
Same here... I then moved to Bloglines, which was also closed down eventually. (Or maybe it was the other way around? Not sure which one closed down first.) I now use feed.ly, but I really don't read blogs as much as I used to.

Netflix didn't have original content for a long time, but they still had a lot of trouble with the studios. Their original content was (probably) a response to that.

So the situation isn't quite the same.
However, that would imply Google had some sort of coordination between teams...

I understand why Google chooses a synchronous model of development, that wasn't what I said you should explain. If you believe your explanation is crystal clear and complete, and people just need time, then good luck. But I suggest you try reformulating it.

By the way, "Money creation in the modern economy" wasn't hard to understand. In my experience, most things aren't, if they're well explained and you have the foundation knowledge. "The brain needs time to adjust" tends to be an excuse used by people selling perpetual motion machines.
Or not. I've never had them check my laptop once (other than the scans) in any airport I've been through, and that's quite a few. (Not that I haven't seen it done though)

This isn't about an assessment on airport capabilities in laptop security vetting.
In that case they could just do it from a phone... Honestly, the only reason I can see that makes sense is that it helps American airlines and is going to cause significant losses to the big Middle Eastern 3 airlines..

There are plenty of $80K developer jobs in cities with a $20K lower cost of living.

If there were actually enough jobs in Texas and Tennessee for everyone in San Francisco to live there with lower expenses but the same salary, explain why most of those people don't do that. Note that things like "cost of finding a new job if you lose yours" are components of cost of living.
