I'm not anti-SPA (and in fact, I think of the tools out there react is a pretty good one if you're going to do SPA), but I do think it's the wrong tool for a lot of jobs. If your site is mainly content-based, like a blog or a forum, why make it an SPA?

I feel like React/Angular/Vue/etc apps are becoming "the way the web is done" when so many things would be simpler and more efficient as plain old web sites with server-rendered HTML. It's like everyone decided that because convertibles are cool, they should be used for everything, and are now spending a ton of effort hitching trailers to their convertibles when it would have been much simpler and more effective to just drive a boring minivan in the first place.

You can certainly avoid that, just make it part of the protocol. You could create currency with such rules on top of Ethereum today. Court judgments simply become a part of trusted oracle.
I'm with you on the Marvel side, even more because they really push the formulaic cross-referencing of characters/situations.

I can remember one line in "Luke Cage" from Barnett saying "I'm going back to Hell's Kitchen", sounds very cheesy in that context and kinda broke the suspension of disbelief when watching, even though I think that "Luke Cage" is one of the best Marvel series on Netflix right now.

> Class consciousness refers to the proletariat recognising

Splitting the population into proletariat and 'big bad businessman' excludes all those that work for themselves, excludes the non-factory workers (hence it is a division made to divide and conquer). Not to mention the fallacy of the surplus value, because apparently to Marxists having a factory costs nothing and somehow businessman would hire people if that cost them more than they're getting out of it.

Your proletariat will be increasingly replaced by robots, and as much as I'm in favour of giving everybody living conditions all socialism has given is poor conditions to everybody except if you were one of the higher ups.

I believe this is independent from Social Media connections.
I think the hardest part is finding the topic that they are interested. Most people will ramble on about their greatest interest forever. You can't start with "How's work?" or "Watch anything good on Netflix lately?". You have to move into something else like "What have you been doing in your free time?" and then follow up on that. Odds are that they will lead you right to their greatest interest almost immediately. I think questions only has to be clarified with positive reinforcement. If they say they like X, your question needs to validate them too. "I'm not familiar with X but that sounds really interesting. What is the coolest thing about X to you?"

I second the recommendation to write/file patents yourself vice wasting money on lawyers. As implied, you generally won't be succesful selling an idea without a decent demo prototype, so dont fall into the trap of thinking the patent is the end-game. If you do consult a lawyer, I suggest thinking twice before filing any foreign patents (assuming you're outsie of the USA). If found foreign patents to be a major money pit, which pobably isnt worthwhile unless you've invented something like, say, "the wheel."

For patent images, you can do just about everything in PowerPoint and Sketchup.

Lastly, if you do file yourself, note that you can file your first few patents as a micro-entity, which lets you pay a little less. Don't forget however that ther are mainennance fees down the road though after the non-provisional is published. These can be a shock if you're not expecting them. Here's a rough summary of small entity USPTO patent lifecycle costs.if you file yourself (its a little cheaper for micro), details may vary slightly:

1. Provisional Filing - $130
______________
(after 1 yr file non-provisional)
2. Non-prov. Filling - $140
3. Utility Search - $300
4. Utility Exam - $300

Total non-provisional fees (2-4): $800
______________
(after ~2yrs patent will issue)
5. Notice of Allowance (i.e. issuance) fee: $480
______________
(Maintenance fees over patent's life)
6. @ 3.5yr: $800
7. @ 7.5yr: $1800
8. @ 11.5yr: $3700

> IMO it's not appropriate to lump Rust in with "nice FP language"s.

Maybe I should have expressed it better, but I didn't intend to lump these together.

>And don't look now but lots of stuff is being rewritten in Rust.

I'm myself cautiously optimistic re Rust, but having been burnt by C++ in the past I'm not enthusiastic about fighting language idiosyncrasies (though modern C++ certainly deserves a second look). Then there's the issue (some might argue it's a plus) that Rust is at the same time a language, a lib, and the only compiler implementation (unlike C or C++ which give you choice).
I think you are being too generous. All of those 11 vulnerabilities were caused by the language, its lack of memory safety, limited expressiveness, poor abstractions it encourages, etc.
Yup, you could run it on any S60 phone, and even access stuff like 3D via OpenGL ES.

Body and mindset hacking from leading thinkers and experimenters, in a concise format
Solus is an interesting recent distro in that it's written entirely from scratch, not built on top of Debian/Ubuntu/Arch, etc. It also made its own DE, Budgie, which has since been ported to Ubuntu. It's also become the go-to distro for Linux Steam enthusiasts, because the developers put a huge amount of work into making their own package of Steam that seems to work better than many of the existing ones.

You can check out a DistroWatch review of it here:

The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge, a professor at MIT.

Some might call it a business book. It focuses primarily on teaching readers to use "systems thinking" to turn companies into learning organizations that respond and adapt to change. That's useful advice to those in management positions, but I have to be honest and confess that the chapter on personal mastery changed my life in a big way. It put into words something that I had been thinking and feeling for a long time: namely, that we have the power to change the systems that influence us.

I can't immediately find it right now, but if memory serves, the last time this came up, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Stranger in a Strange Land" seemed to be the strongest answers.

I have since read, enjoyed, and been influenced by both.

Neither are properly regarded as "non-technology," but I think from your point 2 it's clear that you are just looking to exclude training manual type texts.

Hitchhiker's in particular imparts a lot of great advice for creativity in technical fields, and software in particular, but does it using a fictionalized world with comedic logical oddities.

Another book I'll add, which has some of these properties, is "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins (although take note that this book is highly erotic and explicit).
Yes, it would be quite nice. But this version is simpler, and you can implement your version by writing to a temporary file, then doing an atomic rename.

My operating model assumes a user creating some kind of content using an application. E.g. Photoshop is running and the user is editing a file. Photoshop can very well write partial updates to the file, so it's important that nobody else write to it, or you end up with a corrupted file.

Maybe just opening the file with no locking mode should always succeed though, or there can be an additional LOCK_NONE for that case (I don't want to participate in the locking scheme and yes I want to read whatever data is there). In that case you're saying "I just want to read what's there even if it is not consistent right now". The LOCK constants should probably also be named FORBID, in the sense that you're opening the file and FORBIDding the operation from happening while you have it open. So you can forbid writing (because inconsistent data is nonsensical for this case) or reading and writing (because you'll be updating the file). But I think the LOCK names are easier to use, since you're specifying the operation you'll be doing and can be understood analogous to read/write locks.

4. Why assume that you heard the question properly?

>If you're doing image processing in WebGL, then to write many pixels to a framebuffer all at once, you draw a single polygon that covers the entire viewport. Your shader is applied in parallel to all pixels drawn. That is how ShaderToy works, it renders a single quad to the viewport and applies whatever shader you give it, the GPU runs that shader on all pixels rendered.

>Whoa, hang on. Hey I only mean this to be helpful not insulting, but it sounds to me like you may have some misconceptions about the way WebGL works.

You draw a simple quad, which the shader then processes all the pixels in parallel, returning their frag_color as the output color. It can read textures and other source information, but it does not have access to what is being processed currently for other pixels, because its parallel. You have to wait until it has rendered that, and then pass it in again. I am unsure what I am misunderstanding.

>https://webglfundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/webgl-image-proc...

This was a cool insight into using framebuffers for multiple passes, thank you.

>Here is the demo from that article that uses the techniques I've been talking about. All of the filters in this demo are doing neighborhood computations. And note you can apply multiple filters. There is no texture copy here, this tutorial renders directly to a texture in one pass, and then samples that texture in the next pass and so on. The iterations or feedback that you're looking for happen by combining render-to-texture with drawing the viewport polygon multiple times.

From what I'm seeing, this is not just a couple passes, its a pass per-filter. None of the filters singularly rely upon multiple passes, their output is calculated purely on the image that was filtered before it, meaning the filter itself doesn't need to write pixels and then read them again. You can see that in the for loop that calls setFramebuffer() and drawKernel(). I understand that you can apply a shader, and put its output back in, but I still fail to see how you're avoiding doing that at the very least in the hundreds of thousands of times. error diffusion dithering classically is sequential from top to bottom, or bottom to top depending upon serpentine or not, I don't think you can just process a ton of pixels at the same time and still look anything like a sequentially done Floyd-Steinberg.

How much would it cost, though? I mean if a pound coin costs more than a pound, that's not good (that's possible even with the dumb coins, I recently heard that the turkish one kurus costs two and a half turkish kurus).

That only works if you have a great way to help people find just the stuff they'll like and hide the rest. If they hundreds of series that are "trash" to me and a handful that are "great" to me, I'll probably end up watching a few of the trash ones first and then canceling the service.

Easily my favorite childhood book that I read for the helluvit every few years: The Ellimist.

I was a huge fan of Animorphs, but one of my favorite characters was the omniscient being.

spoilers (Book is now 17 years old as of this post)

Just a brief summary if memory serves me correctly: They were a bird-like race called the Ketran, and although the planet surface was inhabitable, the atmosphere was, so they spent time keeping up a perch. To deal with their boredom, they created a game-like system of virtual reality. This gaming system allowed them to play things like chess or play characters or entire species in virtual simulations.

They had learned to broadcast their network gaming system across the planet to other Ketran and expanded their networks. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to them, they accidentally broadcast this virtual simulation across the galaxy to a war-like species, who thought they were being threatened.

The species came to their planet and wiped out nearly all the Ketran. The survivors were able to use one of their ships to escape and spent millenia searching for a planet like their own, but were unable to do so.

They eventually found a planet they thought they could inhabit, but the entire planet was like a sponge (known as father): absorbing anything on it and within it. So Father would basically capture and absorb the memories of anything that landed on the planet. Father could look into the memories of the creatures it absorbed. The last of the surviving Ketran were no exception. However, Father kept one of the Ketran alive, named Toomin, realizing he was a gamer and companion adversary, and did not want to be alone. Toomin and Father spent centuries playing "virtual video simulated games" with each other, but Toomin would always lose, because Father ALWAYS knew what Toomin would do, having his memories and thoughts. There was absolutely no way to win.

Fortunately and eventually, Toomin figured out a way to defeat Father. With his victory came the knowledge of every being that Father ever knew, so Toomin was able to create and know of technologies beyond what he could have ever known, and in a way, he was able to eventually figure out and understand immortality, which he may have achieved by accident.

With immortality comes a lot of purpose and lack of it, and that is what I will leave you with. Great read and only 25 cents on Amazon Kindle ( https://www.amazon.com/Ellimist-Chronicles-Animorphs-K-Apple... ).

Why does this book continue to influence me? Even in the moment that Toomin lost hope, losing everything he ever loved, being the last of an extinct species, and seeing no reason to go on living, he knew he had to keep going, for the sake of his own species, and he would eventually become one of the greatest beings to ever exist. In a way, I do seek to be like the Ellimist.

Perhaps we should first try to understand dolphin's language. Another suggestion for aliens to understand our language would be first to show then how evolution in earth has happened. Any high technology creature able to travel across the universe must have been studying some kind of evolutionary path. Perhaps studying the neurons they could infer a lot of information about how our mind interacts with the environment.

Dale Carnegie, this article, et. al describe various methods to be liked, listened to, etc. that all basically revolve around the idea that you should make the conversation about them and their needs. Even smiling is a small step away from outright saying you like them and are willing to listen.

One thing I've found though is that this can be mentally exhausting. It starts to feel like the people around you are starving for attention and suddenly they've found an oasis of it.

But over even a short time the entropy of being on the giving end of nearly every interaction with someone creates a sort of mental energy vacuum.

Certainly I can't be the only one who has experienced this -- how do you maintain your energy or sense of self when you are consistently trying to meet other people's needs?

I can share my experience on why I stopped having an RSS reader and keeping track of blogs, it kind of summarizes also some opinions from old avid readers I know.

TLTR: Lack of good content, and amazing alternatives.

- Huge backlog: I used to track 2k+ blogs on Bloglines/Google Reader, it was nearly impossible to read everything, but the collective mind of the internet made easy to keep track of what my close friends were reading using delicious and I could easily keep up with good content.

- Lack of good content: Once delicious was losing interest, I started to rely on Twitter to find good content, again unsuccessful.
Thanks, today we have Reddit/HN to filter this, but getting a click from HN won't make me "subscribe."

- Good alternatives for tech content. Today most conferences dump their entire collection on YT; I'd rather watch a 45mn lecture on 2X on youtube or listen to an excellent podcast than read a long blog post.

- Audibooks =)

In the long run, it's almost impossible for individual text blogs to compete with such social validated content and curated content.

The Better Angels of our Nature by Steven Pinker.

It's a history of macro trends in violence - wars, homicide, rape, etc. The burden of violence in the modern world is much, much lower than it was historically, even fairly recently.

The book catches a lot of flak from people who reject the claim that the future will automatically be more peaceful than the past. I think this is poor criticism because that's not what the book says; it is explicitly a descriptive history and not predictive.

I love this book because it presents remarkable evidence from multiple fields that the world has gotten profoundly better (at least, regarding violence). The realization that the world can improve and has improved is...liberating? Surprisingly many people don't believe this, though I expect on HN belief in progress is not uncommon.

Having such evidence that the world has improved so much is powerful motivation to try to continue - you know it's possible. It's the antidote to incorrect zero-sum thinking, which is not just damaging but also wrong. And perhaps it's a moral call to action: our grandparents' and parents' generations left us a world which is much more peaceful than the one they were born into. Do we not owe future generations the same gift?
I think we've regressed in many ways, to be honest.
