I'm not suggesting those, nor am I suggesting anything at all. I just say what I think the reasons and the future trajectory is.

No need to be binary about the potential political changes. I only say that nation-states are bad, I din't say that states per se are bad.

Also, the next world war won't be before anything but the end of all of us. I didn't ever say anything about a global state, but what I think indeed is that, analogous to programming, state should be contained in the smallest possible context, that is, I think that smaller, more focused states with more direct democracy and with more (respective to today's nation-states) people that indeed share common values, would be more stable and peaceful. I know that such an idea will get many objections (even I do have my objections), but I believe such a political situation would be better for everyone.
far too high
Up to an ELO rating at 2000 (and even beyond that) there is no need to memorize openings. It is much more important to learn the basic opening and development ideas. Even if you play against non-masters who have memorized some openings you can easily crunch them by the basic ideas. It takes master level to go from memorize to actually understand how a given opening works.
The self-pitying language from Hollywood is hilarious.

How DARE people want to work for Netflix intead of us, just because it pays better, is sexier and cooler, is technologically cutting edge, and allows much greater freedom from executive meddling?

NOT COOL GUYS.
if you plop a lithium recycler in the middle of sahara, or arizona, where solar power is plentiful, you only have to deal with the economics.

i don't see why tesla wouldn't do exactly this a decade or two from now, when there'll be 100x more lithium batteries at or near the limit of useful capacity. it could be literally next door to the gigafactory so they could feed it with a conveyor belt.
What are pros and cons of outsourced technical support?
Businesses require copious amounts of technical support to keep pace with the ever increasing impact of technology in the modern world. Choosing the best support provider to align with your needs whilst remaining cost-effective can be a critical challenge. Considerations such as company size are one of the most important factors influencing the choice of IT support services.

What are pros and cons to choice of outsourced IT support?
It might be fun.

I don't know that you'd gain much in the real world though. Starting such a project now? Rust, for sure, for me anyway. But is it worth rewriting Curl? I agree with the author there, it most probably isn't.
I can actually order and watch Netflix in EU (for 12EUR/month for 4k/HDR). I'm not allowed to pay for HBO Now (which is even more expensive at 15EUR/month and features only HBO shows) and HBO Go requires me to subscribe to a min 50EUR/month cable service full of crappy content.
In the libguestfs generator (first link above) the generated C code is required to be completely readable. It must look like it was written by hand (albeit by a programmer who is impossibly consistent and perfect). So reading the generated C code is fine. Modifying the generated code is of course not fine except for tiny test hacks, but we also include in the generated code comments reflecting where in the generator the code comes from.
Nice pickup. I actually did not realise this was from 2013. I should always look at the dates, happens a lot on here.
Sky is a useless hog of idiocy, just selling lots and lots of advertising. Most cringeworthy thing to tell about is Sky Bundesliga (the german soccer league). Its the only way to see the most popular sport in germany. You pay for Sky Entertainment, which you MUST have to get the basic soccer package (no other sports or international soccer) which already amounts to a whopping 42€/Month. When you have that, you can either watch via Cable at your specific address, or can use the abysmal Sky Go system. That runs on Silverlight(sic!) and allows only 3 different devices in 6 Months to connect.
When you surpassed THOSE hurdles, you need to hope that Silverlight works on your OS (good luck Linux), doesn't crap out (what a coincidence with unmaintained software).
Then you can watch the "Game". Except the commercials extend to 30s before the ref starts the game, during the game you get 2-3 times a framed commercial, the commenting person has to advertise multiple of sky's services during the game, the half time is 12 out of 15 minutes commercials, and the second half is the same.
Disgusting. The 2-3 games a year I watch, I freely admit to using other means of watching.
Canada has an 11-sided 1 dollar coin (the loonie) and a bimetallic 2 dollar coin (the toonie). This new £1 coin is basically a mash-up of the two.

Fair warning: People are going to put these things in pneumatic presses, hit them with sledge-hammers, etc. and then claim their brand new £1 coins are defective and "just fell apart". You should probably ignore these people. I'd be very surprised if the Royal Mint hadn't talked to the Canadian Mint and made sure they know how to make these things absolutely bomber.
I'll be completely honest. I was anti-react when it initially (this is pre-create-react-app generator) came out and I'll tell you why.

I tried to learn it and struggled understanding the new concepts react was bringing in all while people were saying "It's easy! Everything's a components. HTML,CSS,JS all in one place!" whilst I was struggling to get a simple hello world example to run.

Just recently at my University we were forced to learn React as a part of our course and damn after I finally understood it I fell in love! It's a huge improvement over the normal web-app design work flow.

So, I would urge anyone whose anti-react to honestly give it a good go and force yourself a little to get over the initial learning curve and trust me you'll love it!
As silly as it may sound, my problem might be due to writing about my own interests. I'm not offering help or advice, I wouldn't even say I'm offering specific info (since what I do is more exploratory), and I generally leave opinions out of it.

If I had to explain it, I'm like a somewhat randomized, editorialized Wikipedia for a specific topic. I want readers to click around as if on Wikipedia, so they can gather a wide-ranging, hopefully in-depth view of the topic (in this case, a major city and its cultural/historical context).
The common theory is they did it to boosts Google plus. They wanted you to follow blogs interest on G+ rather than more directly via Reader/RSS.
I think the problem is that neoliberalism is an ideology and suffers the same problem as all other ideologies - their advocates only care about purism of concepts and not whether things work or don't work in the real world.

e.g. I'm rather happy with our socialist NHS in the UK - I don't want socialism in many other areas but for health it seems to have made sense. I don't want an ideologue coming along and trying to dismantle it just because they disagree with the founding concepts rather than how it actually works.
Ah, so close.

I really just want something like Handlebars, with a generic adapter for any language for compilation.

Then you can load with javascript a client-side controller if you want to add in interactivity.

---

To expand, I think the idea solution would be the following:

1. Server side view, let's call it "Bars"

2. Bars can be written on the front-end or back-end, does't matter. It'll compile to BarsHTML.

3. If you write Bars on the back-end, then when you serve your page it'll compile Bars into BarsHTML.

3a. If you want to sprinkle JS onto Bars, you'll use BarsControllerJS, an adapter to whatever framework of your choice, to manipulate it. The main difference between this and manipulating the DOM is that the interface to do this is not DOM centric.

4. If you write Bars on the front-end, it's the same as (3), but you get (3a). If you decide you'd rather do server side rendering, you literally just move your views to the server. The controller is already abstracted, so you wouldn't need to do anything else.
For cross-posting you can try ifttt. I'll refrain from the main question, as I'm not qualified to answer it.
I think the point was, that: Life is hard and often unfair. Get over it and keep working otherwise you will definetly fail.
Not a bad return, considering it'll sit their library forever.
I think that is due to the thickness of a laptop compared to an ipad and some x-ray machines not being powerful enough.

One time I've had to take out my tablets, out of my bag and out of their case even.
> Is the only option these days to be cross-posting?

No, it's SEO. For me at least. I don't follow blogs, but I find the same blogs over and over again, when I search for specific keywords.

The thing with blogs is: Usually, I'm looking for specific information right now. I need answers. I'd never sign up for a newsletter, because in a few weeks, I might've grown beyond this already.
I should try to get in touch with Netflix via the proper channels, but it will probably be hard to get an agent or manager involved involved with my movie because it is a short film (17 min). I'm currently working on finishing up the visual effects myself, but when I saw this Netflix post on HN I thought I'd take a shot at seeing if my post might reach somebody inside Netflix that could help speed things up.
You can't abolish nations. Nations happen organically whenever people live together. They just differ in size.

There are two contradicting ideas in your reply.

>hangouts can no longer be used as an app that sends and receives SMS from the carrier.

and

>It doesn't mean that they're disintegrating SMS sending (through Google) functionality from Hangouts.

SMS is sending and receiving messages from the carrier.

Hangouts doesn't allow SMS = SMS functionality removed.
Come on! India produces one of the best engineers in the world. If you look at the numbers, they need people doing run-of-the-mill 'coding' jobs who need not be 'trained' in complex algorithms and software engineering. They can hire school grads, train them to the basic skill set they need and hire them at 30% less salary. No good engineer would like to be hired for 2.5L in these companies.
I really hope they don't lose focus on the quality of their original content.

I understand that not everything Netflix does is tailored to me, particularly due to Netflix' growing, increasingly mainstream audience, diverse and varying preferences, more ground to cover, etc.

However lately Netflix' content simply seems to lack substance to me. It feels as if it's just the superficial result of throwing a promising combination of those very specific tags/categories the services is famous for onto the assembly line and ending up with a show or film that, while ticking all the boxes and not being bad at all, is still pretty far off the masterpieces of the medium. I'm not sure if classics like The Wire, The Sopranos or Mad Men could have been created with such a formulaic approach and I'm missing shows of that caliber on Netflix.
Maybe the service should offer brillant content creators the freedom and opportunity to do the shows they want to do, instead of dictating the theme and framework.
I wonder how many people are going to try to push out the middle the way they do to the toonie.
> None of those are C vulnerabilities, they were mistakes made on the part of the developers, not the language.

The point of type system features e.g. Option types instead of nulls, or linear/affine types avoiding use-after-free is to make programmer mistakes turn into compiler errors. Nothing more. There is no point in talking about whether or not something is the "languages fault" or not. We know C is like juggling knives. It's a tool. It has drawbacks and benefits. Being widespread and fast are the benefits. Not turning many forms of programmer errors into compiler errors is the drawback. That means the programmer can't make mistakes because they will be shipped. But programmers invariably make mistakes.

The grandparent argued that for the sample of issues he looked at, a lot would in fact be avoided by the type system of e.g. Rust - contradicting the argument in the blog post (could be because of the small sample though).

I think it's perhaps less important to focus on the number of issues of each kind, and instead look at the severity of them. If the kinds of issues avoided by better type systems are typically trivial issues, but the kind of issues coming from logic errors are severe security issues - then perhaps the case for stronger type systems isn't so strong after all. But I doubt that's the case.

INTRODUCTION TO LABVIEW
As the top comment on this post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13965043) demonstrates, the title is misleading at best, and I do not believe you want to intentionally mislead your readers. Rhetorical smiley faces do not change that.

Keep in mind that clickbait titles do get penalized on Hacker News, as dang notes.
I guess I became way too cynical.

I though it was a satire, based on its name. Maybe there is some hidden self deprecating joke that went over my head, but Next + JS + 2.0 seemed too buzzwordy to be true.

The tech looks interesting. Still looks to me like a lot of stuff that I don't understand why I would need, but that's an old rant I have with the curent js ecosystem.
8 Mobile App Testing Scenarios Every QA Should Test
Cycle-perfect emulators at least for typical 8- and 16-bit systems need to run each emulator subsystem (CPU, video, audio, ...) in lock-step for each clock cycle. Spreading those emulator systems over multiple threads would mean that the threads need to synchronize with each other after each step (which is just a few host CPU instructions long). It might be easier for more modern hardware where subsystems are much more decoupled from each other (and I guess with Moore's Law dead this is our only hope to emulate more modern hardware in the future).
Damn. And it wasn't even funny.
I appreciate your perspective, and that of the commenter below as well!

I still think it is possible for Otzi to be a bandit/raider. He did not have a body for agricultural work, and he had clothes designed for surviving harsh (non-domestic climates).

My hypothesis is that he probably pissed off a few too many people and his reputation began spreading from town to town possibly.

He probably stole food and goods at night and then walked away with his haul to use or sell elsewhere.

Eventually, people figured out that they had a bit of a human vulture up in the mountains. When he came down to the village to get some goods and provisions, he was confronted by attackers, wounded, and escaped.

He fled high up into the mountains, stopping to eat and rest from his encounter.

Someone from the village, followed him, sniped him, and did not loot Otzi.

Why? I hypothesize probably because the person viewed Otzi as a nuissance, and viewed himself as more honorable than Otzi.

It honestly sounds like some kind of vigilante justice situation, or even a proto police force. Police aren't supposed to loot their kills (but these days they do, and auction off the items ;] )
It's happening already, although very subtle. For example some see Facebook as a digital nation. This is an interesting article from 2011 making this observation http://www.salon.com/2011/12/31/the_rise_of_facebook_nation/

Perhaps 20th century western nation-states won't get totally abolished soon, but they'll see a lot more competition from virtual states in the near future!
> Its verry dificult because you cant verify what people are thinking, you cant debug it and you cant start over -- you have to guess a lot

I think there is a way to verify what people are thinking and that would be by asking them questions. As you point out later it has to be genuine and not a clinical encounter, and I'd also add not a self-serving one. If you genuinely want to understand what they are saying you would then be very present in the conversation rather than just trying to hear what you think you want or don't want to hear (ie: "I've got to found out if he/she's going to abandon me or break my heart" is a self-serving interest and will eventually have the opposite effect), but trying to understand what they are saying because you are curious about them and hold them in high esteem will go a far way and asking questions that help you try to understand their point of view.

Too many people are trying to either narrate the relationship or are trying to serve their own self-interests and apply way too much meaning to each interaction and if instead they saw an encounter as an opportunity to learn rather than to try to have it mean something personally I think they'd find a whole lot more success.

I'm not extremely experienced in social interaction but I've had to learn to be to be able to communicate better with my wife and this is what I've learned, my self-centered motives have prevented me from learning so much more from others and using curiosity and questions has been super helpful in helping me to overcome social anxiety and relationship conflict fears.

tldr; let go of your ego (don't take things personally) and try to learn what other people are saying by asking them genuine questions (rather than trying to do all the talking, you learn more this way).
Thoughts Are Powerful
by that time the foot is in the door. The rest of the approval will be based on the merit of the work itself.

Remember that if all salesmen had the ethics of developers.... well the world would actually be a much better place but if some do and some don't then those that don't are not seen. Something like that... its just the old cold calling salesman within me looking for ins :).
Shorter code, since rust is a higher level of abstraction.

Safer code, so half of the vulnerabilities wouldn't have existed.

Rust's ecosystem (package manager and libraries).

Of course you lose portability and you probably appeal to fewer developers, at least for now. So there is a trade-off.

I wish Rust compiled to C. It would be my dream language. The only reason I can't choose rust half the time is because it doesn't support targets I need to support.
It seems that they can make trash and as long as it convinces more people to subscribe to netflix it ends up meeting their bottom line. And I guess they have figured out that that is what works, as unlike a normal tv station per show ratings don't matter if it is more shows that brings people in.
I'd settle for fewer shows with earlier release dates. It's crazy waiting over a year to watch the next season of a show.

I guess I'm a dinosaur from the olden days of TV where once per week you watched a show. Then a break for summer and the new season started in the fall.

These days it's binge watch an entire show and wait 18 months for the next season. I can't stand that who can sit still for that long?

I bet Netflix would prefer a slower production and release schedule rather than a blast of a dozen episodes. Even the actors must hate that they must also have to wait until production starts again.

Production quality is suffering too which may indicate shows are being made too fast. On Iron Fist I noticed in each episode a red laser dot and grid shining on the actors. And in one episode you could see water dripping off the camera lens housing.
My main problem with this book is that it looks like it's aimed at younger people, but the language employed could stump even some college graduates. I wish the author would have significantly simplified it.
In 3 years, we'll go back to square one! :-)
I moved to a city a few years back where it was like every single person I met was a PhD student and none wanted to talk about what they did (some I wouldn't be able to understand anyways, such as astrophysicists, but others I could, if they'd have wanted to talk about it). They'd all mention the general topic, but that's about it. It was quite weird because I happen to share your view and wanted to know more.
If your idea really is worth a lot, you'd probably be better off starting with media-focused venture capital and indie production studios. That way, you could build the momentum required to make Netflix take you seriously.
I'm kind of torn on this.

On the one hand, Curl is a great piece of software with a better security record than most, the engineering choices it's made thus far have served it just fine, and its developers quite reasonably view rewriting it as risky and unnecessary.

On the other hand, the state of internet security is really terrible, and the only way it'll ever get fixed is if we somehow get to the point where writing networking code in a non-memory-safe language is considered professional malpractice. Because it should be; reliably not introducing memory corruption bugs without a compiler checking your work is a higher standard than programmers can realistically be held to, and in networking code such bugs often have immediate and dramatic security consequences. We need to somehow create a culture where serious programmers don't try to do this, the same way serious programmers don't write in BASIC or use tarball backups as version control. That so much existing high-profile networking software is written in C makes this a lot harder, because everyone thinks "well all those projects do it so it must be okay".

Hmm, no that's actually the opposite of what I was saying! The parent above me seems to have been saying that?
The way they released "Designated Survivor" was similar to "old school" TV shows. With one episode per week being released. So I guess they are testing with that model
A combination of wanting 1) the best price 2) fastest shipping times 3) the world's largest catalog and 4) profit.

You're buying some item. You're in New York City. Other websites sell it for $20. You go on Amazon.com and see that it's $14.99, here's where #1 comes in. Why is it so low?? In our scenario, let's assume "Fugazi FBA seller" just shipped in a bunch of counterfeit merchandise into Amazon's warehouse in Tennessee that cost them $5.00, $14.99 is a major win for the seller.

Now, Amazon matches the price at $14.99 and you buy it "ships and sold by Amazon". This is where #2 comes in. You're a Prime member. You expect to get it in 2 days. You're all the way out in NYC. The closest warehouse that has Amazon's legit inventory is in California.

Amazon says, "Hey we need to get this customer his/her item in 2 days. It's way FASTER and CHEAPER, if we just pick one unit from Fugazi FBA seller's stock that's in Tennessee and ship that out." - #2 and #4.

Once this product is end-of-life or Amazon can't source it, #3 comes into play and Amazon stops selling it "ships and sold by Amazon" and sellers (legit and illegitimate) are left to fight it out.
WSJ: The High-Speed Trading Behind Your Amazon Purchase
Didn't see this over the weekend, I wish I had. I did look into some different investing tools a couple months ago, but got intimidated by them, especially the ones that round up your purchases as you have to give them access to your checking. I really just wanted to get my feet wet with something smart and small at first. I'm not wealthy, but given the chance to learn I feel that I could be successful at it. I'll give your recommendation a chance.
I rebuilt https://www.emailprivacytester.com in NextJS v1 - https://gitlab.com/mikecardwell/ept3/tree/master - Was a pleasure to use. My main problem though was that I couldn't add custom routes for API end-points, so had to split the application into a frontend (in Next) and backend express app. Looks like v2 fixes this. I will definitely be updating to take advantage.
