I would say that markdown for informal writing is fine and I like Markdown for many thing BUT if I need formatting LaTeX is a better tool. I have always waited for a new system but its hard to replace what works (With some cursing and banging on the desktop). Writing Math equations there is almost always a need for formatting within the document.

To me a math equation is just another plot. I love making quick plots but when it is my name on the document I want to be able to control every line and space.

I really like Scribble a Racket made document language is certainly the way to go but it will take a while to get broader usage. https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/

EDIT----

Math Library - http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble-math/

What Scribble does really well is you write your document and it is a one line change to change the output. It can output to MathJax or LaTeX or Markdown or PDF etc....
I'm curious: Where do these anti-React (anti-spa?) people come from, technologically? Rails? Php? Some .Net stack? Do you think the web Peaked with Perl-based CGI-scripts?
I've been in this game for many years, and to me, any technology that speeds up development cycle time is an improvement. There's a reason React is so popular.
I am student and I like C, I've tested Rust/Go, I like the feeling of C. Maybe that sentiment will change later, but for now, I like C. It's simple and sharp and there's lots of doc/books.

> Of the netflix originals, i've only enjoyed a handful.

OR, they're just targeting demographics that don't include you. "I don't enjoy [thing] therefore it's padding" seems like kind of an ego-centric worldview to me.

Haven't they even talked about how not having a fixed number of viewing hours means they can more easily target niche audiences?
The word framework is broad and I dont see this as the same kind of thing as React. This marries set of frameworks which work well together and provides a opinionated but clean approach to building larger apps more efficiently/consistently. Similar to eiffel, MEAN, jHipster etc. There is great value in this kind of bundling effort for those of us less-experienced with the frameworks who need help getting a proper start

Ask HN: How do you monetize from Patenting?
I have filed quite a few IPs through my current company. But, the rewards my company pays are meagre. I think I have some more promising ideas that can be patented in areas of Autonomous driving/Computer vision.

How do I monetize them if I have to file on my own? Is it worth filing on my own as there is significant Cost I need to bear for Patenting. or are there any alternative options. Pls suggest.
Yes they do.

But there will always be racists who will dislike people for any petty reason
ML is delivering a lot of value, but is largely being applied to high value areas since the start-up costs of adding ML to anything are pretty high compared to traditional dev work. So it's not going to replace traditional dev work any time soon, but it's​ certainly going to be important.
There is a huge misunderstanding here in the comments. From my understanding, this change just means that hangouts can no longer be used as an app that sends and receives SMS from the carrier. They used to think it is a good idea to have everything in one app, but now they figured it's better to have two apps. It doesn't mean that they're disintegrating SMS sending (through Google) functionality from Hangouts.
Bear in mind that 90% of "regular" TV is trash (to me), but a huge number of people enjoy it. They aren't just padding their content, they're also catering to a wide audience, which means lots of people will hate lots of their content, but lots of people will also like some of their content
This happened to me recently, with Facebook. However, Facebook didn't reactivate my account, I was the one who mistakenly clicked on a link on Spotify when I reactivated my account which somehow triggered the reactivation.

I'm going to guess that OP of article had a similar situation; Using another service, an errant click was made that triggered an event on Facebook.

I cited sources with statistics, not my personal beliefs.

But to answer your question - the accounting is explained by an increase in debt (see the businessinsider article I linked earlier), and by the fact that what's spent on education/housing/healthcare, isn't spent elsewhere.

And I'm well aware we're better off than Somalia - that was my point. We don't have to wait until we're not before we start complaining. Should we do nothing but feel guilty we live in decent countries, until there's no-one who's worse off?

Big, bulky noise–canceling headphones are a must.

If you can put up a screen behind your display (posterboard works quite well for this) you can block out distracting movements around the edges of your display.

Learn to ignore people hovering behind you. If they want to interrupt you then they must actively tap you on the shoulder or something.

I found working in a totally open–plan office terrible for writing and programming, even with headphones. Semi–open plan (cubicles with decent dividers) worked as did semi–private offices with 4-6 people.
>A compound word has a meaning which is distinct from the sum of its parts

Right. That's the point. This clearly shows that Chinese has multisyllabic words.

And yes, there are plenty of examples of compounds with meanings that have nothing to do with their components, e.g.:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%8A%B1%E7%94%9F

But of course, if you already have the preconception that the parts of a compound word are independently meaningful, it's easy to tell yourself some kind of story about how they actually do contribute something to the meaning of the whole. Similarly, there are cranks who insist that particular non-morphemic sound sequences in English carry an independent meaning.

It really is amazing how confused people can get by orthography. Chinese has words composed of multiple syllables whose parts are not independently meaningful. Period. Again, this is information that's available all over the place, e.g.:

http://www.101languages.net/chinese/morphology.html

Or from Wikipedia:

>The number of sounds in the different spoken dialects varies, but in general there has been a tendency to a reduction in sounds from Middle Chinese. The Mandarin dialects in particular have experienced a dramatic decrease in sounds and so have far more multisyllabic words than most other spoken varieties. The total number of syllables in some varieties is therefore only about a thousand, including tonal variation, which is only about an eighth as many as English.[b]

They are absolutely the fault of the language, given other languages would have made these bugs impossible.

But besides my pun, "fast" code is a moving target relatively to the end result (see how performance considerations about Java running in a VM became moot because of hardware improvements notably on the CPU; see how today multithreading is making a comeback to rescue CPU-bound applications from stale improvements).

Fast is also subjective, it's cultural in that it's a trained perception. I'm annoyed if Excel takes more than a couple seconds to launch, but most people are used to 10s at least, because that's our daily experience. Likewise, I remember a time when having pixelated thumbnails until images loaded completely over dozens of seconds was the best browsing experience; nowadays on fiber/LTE we expect a page to appear rather instantly.

I guess what subconsciously annoys the hell out of "those who like as fast as possible applications" with Electron is that we know it will yet make fast a more distant concern overall, at least until hardware makes the Electron performance penalty moot, like Java VM.

I'm pretty convinced 'fast' is indeed a clear third priority for most consumers though, seeing how it doesn't seem to bother most people in UX research (less so than many other concerns), or how Apple rides ever more financial success while releasing ever slower hardware and software (comparatively to the whole market, and sometimes astonishingly even to their own previous models). Facebook is bloated as hell too these days, but it's as popular as ever. Spotify is sluggish too, even Twitter. People just don't seem to care, the looks and simplicity of use seem more determinant.

That's true. In the Netherlands the centre-left just lost a huge amount of seats. People voted for socialism when socialists had good ideas like building the welfare state or reforming healthcare to make it more inclusive. Nowadays they don't want to deviate from the same economic policies that the centre-right proposes. So then what's the point of voting for them?
To me, it seems like Hollywood is betting everything on 3D movies in the fantasy/superhero/werewolf/supernatural abilities/animated/zombie genre(s).

That's roughly 3/4 of what the three cinema chains in my city show. That leaves some 25 percent to the remotely realistic movies - the ones with characters and stories that could be true, at least in a distant future. There are nights where the only movies the cinemas show, are fantastic ones. Where the only cinema experience would involve wearing 3D glasses and watching childish characters save the world.

Personally, I am fine with the establishment taking some beating. But I sure hope there will be more than just a handful of providers of content. Hollywood, HBO, Netflix, Amazon. That's not nearly enough.

Everything else outside UNIX was using Assembly, Algol, PL/I, Modula or Pascal dialect.

Hello, I am the founder of Kwery.

Kwery aims to simplify the process of scheduling and emailing reports from datasources using SQL. There are existing tools which let you generate reports from datasources, but a lot of them are missing the bells and whistles when it comes to emailing those reports, Kwery aims to solve this problem. Also, Kwery stores all the generated reports and lets you search reports that were generated on a so and so date, so, no more foraging through emails for old reports.

Happy to answer any questions you might have regarding Kwery.
Yes, they are the same standard.

In Germany this is actually used in all cigarette or alcohol dispensers.

You can pay via EC card or via cash, but you first need to verify age via EC card or ID.

EC cards (kinda like debit cards) and ID cards have two age verification functions, of which only one per minute can be called, these just verify if the account holder is > 16 or > 18.

So you press the button to get a bottle of beer, the system checks if you’re 16, you pay, and you get it.

Or you press the button to get a bottle of vodka, the system checks if you’re 18, you pay, and you get it.

All this is standard tech, supported by any normal RFID or card reader, and you can use the same reader for secure home banking, for verification, etc.

IMO the fact that they can record "trash" is what will make them ultimately successful - their shows can target very limited demographics while still making profit. While on network TV your prime-time show MUST cater to as wide audience , Neflix doesn't have to. They can make Sense 8, Jessica Jones, Kimmy Schmidt, cooking shows, etc. etc. Each of those will only appeal to a part of audience, but because of that it can be more targeted and creative than watered down inoffensive prime-time schlock.

The fact that they're pretty much the only ones (with the exception of Amazon Prime lately which is shooting themselves in the food for not providing apps for Android TV and other platforms) that are open to world-wide audiences, they're in for a huge success.

Meanwhile, HBO and others still rather show "Not available in your country" than collect 10EUR/month from several TENS of millions of subscribers outside US.

In the 2000s we used ASP.NET webform user controls and java struts in a VERY similar approach to what react calls a "component" which is great because concepts such as composition and event percolation come naturally and make a great amount of sense (to me).

There were many developers who were raised to strive for segregating logic from display (keep your js away from your HTML) and that MVC was a universal solution to front-end development. From what I've seen angular does these things very well and feels more natural to teams where this mindset is well-established.

> any technology that speeds up development cycle time is an improvement.

The problem is that for many, react does not do that – because you need npm, webpack, babel, systemjs, and so on and so on.

We come from a world where you have a simple .gradle config file, and you press one command, and it installs and everything just works.

No need to configure thousands of transpilers, no need to handle constantly breaking dependencies, because people keep their API stable for years, some even decades (see Bouncycastle, e.g.), etc.

Coming from this style of development where tech actually works well, and is stable, to the JS world of React where everything constantly breaks, is very complicated and over enterprise-ified, etc is quite annoying.

Obviously, on the other hand, the React world provides other massive advantages, such as quick iteration, innovation, etc – but the work to get something working with constant quality for years is entirely different. Because you’ll have to fork all your dependencies, because those won’t be stable.

So if you want your product to be included in Debian Stable, you don’t want to use React. Because you’ll end up forking and maintaining every single of your dependencies-.
> Automatic code splitting, routing and client-side rendering are necessities to provide websites that don't require a full screen repaint and server request to change small stuff.

Client-side routing is rarely used to change small stuff. It's usually used to replicate an entire page transition.

> When well-executed, it provides a better experience to the average user.

It's rarely well-executed. Client-side routing means you have to replicate every feature of browser routing, and most frameworks get it wrong. Numerous issues like not supporting cmd/ctrl+click to open in a new tab, ext, are common.

> Hot code reloading is a way to test changes without dropping current state, something that's extremely handy during development to avoid wasting time replicating said state every time.

Like the GP said, this is a self-created problem. Separate development pages to test out small parts of an application is how you avoid replicating state. But today's web development environment is so wrapped up in tooling and build complexity that creating a new page to test out a small part of the application is actually really hard to do.

> I didn't think would be possible without someone very skilled in photoshop going over the images

And this is similar how deep learning will likely erode the need for programming (IMHO).

Deep learning won't necessarily write programs (any more than this AI manipulates images via photoshop). Folks that say, don't worry, we can't write programs easily with AI are missing the vector. Writing programs isn't necessary for there to be widespread disruption.

Most programming is essentially hooking up I/O (of which UIs are a subset) to APIs, data stores and data manipulation. The "goal" of programming is not the code, but the functionality it provides.

AI's don't need to learn to code any more than they need to learn to use photoshop. They need to learn to provide functionality (or in this case manipulate image data).
Netflix was forced into this. For a while (I no longer look at the data) content costs were increasing at 8-10% per year which is unsustainable for distributors. The CEO of DISH once suggested on an earnings call that there should be anti trust inquiries into content pricing.

Additionally, Netflix's international growth was hampered by their inability to efficiently negotiate international distribution rights.
