children born to slaves were treated as the master's children

That applies to Hebrew slaves. What happens to the children of foreign slaves is not clearly stated, but it's the logical consequence of the rules applicable to Hebrews and foreigners.

further beating slaves had consequences of letting the slave go free if he is injured

If they are permanently injured. Cf Exodus 21:20-21:

Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

There are no repercussions for whipping them as severely as you like as long as they recover.
Some companies gave out wristwatches commemorating significant tenures. There's even a Domino's Rolex.
It can get worse - imagine a program that normalizes all paths before handing them off to the fs. Then you go to delete the denormalized file, but it deletes the normalized one. With this change, the only safe way to handle paths would be to NOT normalize at all, but Apple are recommending the exact opposite. I predict a lot of confusion will arise from this change.

>If it's an open standard, they need to check in with everyone //

You're​ missing the point I think (or I got cross-threaded). It's Discord's standard, making it an open standard just means the protocol details need to be public such that a third-party client that uses their protocol can send and receive messages to & from their client(s).

The people to be pleased are not just HN readers but everyone who uses an IM system as each system could, if desired, then speak direct to others. In theory it wouldn't matter that I have Facebook and you have Google, I could still message you. If the market works effectively the best protocols could then win, as could the best UX, even if they came from different companies.

If I were drafting a law on this then it would have an exclusion for SMEs or new companies, it would as you say be an unnecessary regulatory burden to require protocol openness prior to establishment of a service. We're looking at million user plus systems.

It's actually a very common things in Japan at least, for men and women. Not just karaoke either, men and women pay younger, attractive people to pour them drinks, pay attention to them, laugh at their jokes, etc.

Not defending Uber's CEO of course, but this is like learning that Jeffry Dahmer occasionally drove slightly over the limit.
You don't, there is only one unicode representation of those characters.
I think we're more likely to see direct neural interfaces before we see AR in a form factor that appeals to consumers.

It's almost as hard to consumerise the latter as the former. You really need to improve component density and power efficiency by an order of magnitude or two to make AR portable and useful, and that's not an easy thing to do.

It's also much easier to consumerise voice/haptic AI than display-in-your-eye AR.

There are plenty of applications where voice/haptic gives a better consumer experience. I think that was supposed to be the point of Apple's Watch. The product launched too early without the AI support it needed, so it ended looking like a rather pointless wrist terminal/failed fashion accessory.

But it's not hard to imagine Watch becoming a much smarter on-wrist assistant with links to phone and desktop.

The real shift won't be to AR, which is barely a display technology, but to a SmartOS model, where there's a single unified cloud and compute OS that stores personal data and projects, and can be accessed using a variety of mobile and static hardware endpoints.

The problem in the industry now is smallthink Balkanisation. We have too much nostalgia for the Internet business culture of 2000, with too much emphasis on developing incompatible market enclosures to monetise advertising eyeballs and encourage content sales. There's too little interest in bringing it all together to give users new ways to invent cool stuff.

A procedure defines "order of things". So no matter what you are programming in, if you are defining "order of things" in any manner then you are defining a procedure (even if you call it by other names like method or function).
20 years ago, I was in Hong Kong and Macau. The first time I saw this, was my first reaction as well. To my Chinese colleague, it was no big deal.

I thought it interesting how western culture and eastern culture were so different and what was acceptable. I lived in the Far East for 6 months. Very interesting times.
I mentioned this a few days ago, but it's a shame he didn't look further into Java. NodeBox may or may not be slow but it isn't doing the same thing as the other apps, and like any GUI toolkit, it's easy for developers to make it slow.

Spine (http://esotericsoftware.com/) is a pro-level skeletal 2D animation app written in Java, though you wouldn't know it from the website. Judging from the videos of it in action it has no trouble doing high speed UI refreshes. Additionally there are lots of slick 60fps animations on Android written in Java too.

So whilst the article is interesting in a way, I do feel like he just blows off quite workable solutions for no better reason than a dubious extrapolation of a single app to all possible apps using that framework. Heck, he even says it looks nice - redraw speed was literally his only issue. Maybe it's just not using buffering very well?
I didn't downvote your comment but I don't understand what you're talking about.
I'm far from an expert on the subject but as far as I know you can only see the structure of the chip (how the transistors are wired together, basically), not the current state of the logic. So you can use this to dump a hardwired ROM but not dynamic content.
I wonder how much first-class milotary R&D did US get out of that relationship.
The article you're looking for is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_card

It is a more general article on what we now call business cards, and contains a significant amount of information about the use of business cards in Japan and the etiquette involved.

OP, on the other hand, is about a specific precursor to the modern business card that only existed in the West.

well it's a JS app firstly so it's kind of laggy and a bit of a memory hog.
I'm not sure if normalization is good idea (generally because Unicode is complex beast and moving that complexity inside a kernel should be carefully weighted), but I'm sure that it doesn't solve any real problem. Characters "A" and "А" looks identical, unless you're missing Cyrillic font, but they won't be normalized, because they are completely different characters. There are many more other visually identical strings. So while normalization might solve some simple problems, it's not a complete solution, so filesystem might just treat names as byte arrays and let user solve his problems.

What exactly makes a FS driver compliant or non-compliant? Is there a NTFS compliance test suite, that we can run against specific implementations?

If there isn't, accusations of non-compliance are just FUD.
Apologies but this made me chuckle a bit. If you want to pull this off in a 'commercial environment' (where people actually need to be paid) you just asked for a couple hundred million dollars, with at least 5 years until the engine is production-ready, and a >95% chance of total failure. I'm not saying it's impossible in an open source environment of course (after all, Linux happened). But you need to start small, need to show steady progress over a couple of years, and if it works, be ready to spend the rest of your life with it ;)
The hard problem is consistency, in terms of tradeoffs and implementation. Pure AP is easy.

It's too late for C++ to regain popularity. C++17 features will become widespread in next 3-4 years (C++14 isn't a common standard yet). Moreover, the language has become incredibly complicated and sadly doesn't provide anything that would reflect modern needs.
I would pay a few bucks to have my articles proof read and for stylistic enhancements. How much this producer centric model would yield is another question...
> this is near-impossible to audit

This is only hard to audit because the Michigan tax authorities are criminally incompetent (or just criminal full stop).

Subpoena Amazon (and jet.com, ebuyer, newegg) sales delivered to Michigan addresses, compare address list with the list of addresses that self-declared sales tax for out-of-state purchases, send automatic back tax and penalty notice to all all addresses which didn't. None of these steps are hard, it will increase compliance millionfold and bring it hundreds of millions in revenue.
Before you downvote me, make sure your reasoning is correct.

HFS+ can be configured at creation time to be case sensitive. I did so a while back. Worked perfectly except for one application which could not find it's files. So i had to create a container and Format it case in sensitive and intall the APP there...
Thank you, that's actually a very well written Wikipedia article. I'd not heard the term "normalization" used wrt Unicode before.

Yes it is sad that it is one of those topics that HN users seem incapable of discussing objectively. Meanwhile Electron usage grows and grows, and will continue to until someone comes up with a viable alternative.
Google Glass sucked as a consumer product, it works fine as a business product.
How and why to learn about data structures
More generally, once APFS is deployed users can legitimately end up with
multiple files in the same folder whose names only differ in normalization.

The initial message that starts this off seems to imply the opposite - instead, application developers should be normalizing the name before handing it to the filesystem. In that case, an application which allowed non-normalized naming would arguably have a bug.
Ancient science is not the same as pseudoscience.

The problem with a lot of the ancient sources is the lack of proofs. What I am arguing is that lack of proofs in ancient mathematical texts doesn't mean that it is all bunkum, and the authors did not know what they were talking about.

I am not talking cultural relativism or "social science is a science" relativism.

Again, another example: Euler is the father of modern analysis, through his "Analysis of the Infinite" [1]. None of his proofs are rigorous according to modern standards. Do you think Feynman would've called Euler a fool?

You don't become successful in a city like NYC by being a good guy, you do it by being cutthroat. I'm not saying successful people are always bad people, of course. I mean, he hasn't exactly lived out of the public eye up until this point.

As an aside, from what I can tell he seems to not realize the power of his words as President, or the consequences of certain actions in the realm of politics.

After taking credit for good things happening he had nothing to do with, I nautrally wonder how much credit he will take if things don't pan out as he plans.

The buck stops with him, I don't think that has fully sunk in during this past 90 days or so of his adminstration.

Only time will tell.

What's FreePascal's story with data structures?

My only experience with Pascal has been really old-school Pascal, which is a pointers-and-explicit-allocation language like C; if you want a map of things, you need to build one from scratch, track pointer lifetimes, remember to free stuff explicitly, etc.

Does FreePascal do better?

Your comparison doesn't really make sense.

If human pilots had a 15% error rate, and autonomous planes had an error rate of 5% - which would you fly? It's basic math - you pick the one that is most likely to get you there safely.

Most people have no issues getting into cars - despite the fact that they're one of the largest killers. So we've already established that for most people, the convenience (or their love affair) of cars is enough to overcome the current risk of death/injury - if we could decrease that, is that not surely a net win?
I do know the basic make, model and year (it's on the number plate in the UK). However, there are lots of extra letters and numbers that identify the exact model. It's all documented, so no need to actually remember it.

I tried bringing attention to this in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13344039

At least two people replied in the vein of "nothing to see here".

Now they have finally updated their canary statement (this was back in 16 Feb 2017).

They have added the following text:

> Q: Why didn't you update your canary on time in the winter of 2016?

> A: The canary was so broad that any attempt to issue a new one would be a violation of a gag order related to an investigation into a DDoS extortion ring and ransomware operation[0]. This is not desirable, because if any one of a number of minor things happen, it signals to users that a major thing has happened.

So, in my mind here's the lessons:

A) ignore missing canary statements at your own peril

B) orgs that have sloppy canary releases devalue their canary statements.

I was responding to someone who said whether "we" can expect privacy on a public road. I felt included in "we" being hacker news. Could also be "we the US" vs the rest of the world but that's not how I like to think of it generally...
Some things are absolute. Race and gender equality for instance, is absolutely better. No relative cultural context needed to agree with that.

Also, life is absolute. The amount of people who are unjustly prevented from living their life is an absolute number, as a percentage of the population.

So I guess I don't really see your point. Do you disagree with any of the above?
You are assuming that after this crash their rate is still lower than humans, however it might not be.

Honestly I would look at the job descriptions to see which jobs look more interesting to you. Coming from PHP and having a historical background in Java and C, means that all of these languages should be relatively easy to learn. The main difference between them is that C (++) involves pointers and now low level work, whereas C# is pretty much Java with a nicer IDE
Well, it's not a store. You're funding development of something that may not otherwise exist. They are pitching you their idea, you decide if it's something you're interested in and give them some of your money.

I've never backed anything on Kickstarter. But if everything you have backed has delivered something to you, it sounds like you've chosen projects very well!
From the article

"Bill wanted (still wants) a breakthrough in how we build rich productivity apps. He expected that the shape of that breakthrough would be to build a highly functional component that would serve as the core engine for all the applications. For a time he believed that Trident (the core engine for Internet Explorer) could become that component."
I might be wrong but it seems that it's a good example of the bubble that people have been talking about.

1. It's a blogging site. A nice one. But that has already been done many times over.

2. If they wanted to replace publishing houses then their first focus should have been to get quality people to write articles AND pay them well.

3. Failing (2) they should have made deals with the news beareaus and newspapers without good online presence to be their article backends.

I don't think creating a nice blogging website is very disruptive in this day and age.
> then I look at the domain: "Oh it's on medium. Never mind then."

In some cases (like medium.com) HN should not only show the URL behind the link (e.g. 'medium.com') but also the user/author (e.g. 'medium.com/@randomuser').
It is still the official Infrastructure language on the SDKs in OS X and its variants (IO Kit, Metal shaders, LLVM), Android (NDK, ART implementation, LLVM), Windows (DX, UDK, UWP, C++/CLI, C++/CX), Game engines (Unreal, Unity, CryEngine, Godot).

So it might not be popular, but any alternative, currently, means more work due to FFI layers, less tooling support regarding IDEs and debugging infrastructure.

We should support those more modern alternatives, however also be realistic that only in the last five years or so, many companies have started to move from C into C++ (e.g. BMW, Sony,...), and they will take a few decades to switch to something else.
