Ultimately, it's because it's easily approachable and it mostly works. You can learn JS and do stuff on both node and the browser. That's incredibly powerful.

Debugging node has gotten much better as of the last year. [0] You can use Chrome Dev Tools to debug node! I'll admit I've had limited experiences in this area, but so far Chrome Dev Tools has provided one of the best debugging experiences I've had. The killer feature is that it's easy to get started and gradually pick more stuff up as you go along.

JS syntax sucks? That's subjective. After learning functional languages like Elixir and Haskell, I agree that JavaScript is lacking many nice features. I don't hate or dislike JavaScript, though. To help solve this, have you tried out macros? [1] I'll admit I've only looked lightly into the feature and I haven't given it a very serious try, but it looks quite promising.

NPM is filled with a lot of junk. That's pretty accurate. You need to be incredibly diligent when pulling in dependencies. Make sure your dependencies are well tested and not bloated and overly complicated. Have you had a better experience with other languages? I can't say I've had any more luck with other languages. From an outsider's perspective, I think Go and Rust seem to be maturing quickly, but I haven't used either seriously enough to answer with confidence. If I'm hacking something together, I think using node is an amazing choice; if I'm looking for incredibly long-term support, I'd probably use Java (as much as I dislike it).

Of course they're comparable. When you deliberately kill that many people the reasons are really beside the point.

Perforce is mostly a better Subversion. The two have an extremely similar model, but Perforce handles merges much better and gives more flexibility in slicing and dicing your local view of the repo (extremely useful for huge monorepos).

Disclaimer: it's been several years since I've used Subversion, this may have changed.
I stopped using Uber after a couple of instances where a driver accepted my ride request and then drove steadily in the opposite direction for quite a while before canceling and triggering a charge to my account for not 'being where I was supposed to be'.

Each time this happened on a busy Manhattan avenue where I watched empty yellowcabs fly past for 15 minutes. Totally infuriating. Used to take a few per month but now haven't taken an Uber since September.
I've requested a refund multiple times and never been rejected.

Furthermore, when the estimates are more than a couple of minutes off as GP suggests, Uber waives the cancellation fee.

Okay...I can detect the snark. Got it. I'd submit that you're seriously oversimplifying things, and given the poor track-record of "defeating" insurgencies in the past...like I noted earlier we'd have to engage in some pretty awful tactics. If you can stomach that, great. Not really sure that was the argument.
It's faster and easier to just get a refund through the app first, and then try a credit card dispute. %99 of the time they do it. I've never had something not refunded when it should of been.
Not related. Can someone share what are those interactive "images" made of? Or what are the correct terms to call those "images"?
Interval arithmetic is far from trivial. 1/(1/x+1/y) is not the same as xy/(x+y). It breaks things more than normal floating point math does.
I was in CA for a summer. My girlfriend at the time lives in SF. She was using AT&T until she had enough of the DSL performance, so I helped her switch to Comcast. Comcast would even charge us for WiFi, but we were able to keep the Wifi off the modem. Luckily we had a nice rep from Portland to work with us. The price has only gone up since signing up with Comcast, and service hasn't been good.

I live in NYC so TWC (now Spectrum) is a choice in my area. The service has been pretty good since their first major service line upgrade (probably around 2013, 2014). I get to speak with a customer representative and get a discount promo price every 12 months (very known trick for ISP, just call and tell them you wanted to cancel your ISP account, they will likely offer you a promo price). TWC even have a mobile app which I can use to check service status and even chat with the representative directly from the mobile chat! The app itself is slow kind of a crappy version, but hey, it's amazing.

When I moved to my new home, I bought motorola sb6141 modem instead of the stock version. I can tell you that the speed is consistent and noise level is low compared to my old modem. I understand environment (where I live) may matter, but I am happy with my own equipment.

TWC let me keep the factory modem in case I needed a replacement which is a nice touch. I have more faith in TWC than in Comcast. Just another customer rant.
Agreed. They are free to hire and fire whoever they want. But that's not my point. The question is this: Does marginalizing and demonizing - in the internet era - make fringe ideas weaker or stronger? Or is "there's no such thing as bad press" finally not true?
Unfortunately, IME, neither is "deep knowledge" gained by an average student during an average undergraduate education, despite practitioners' best intentions.

"Do aggregators change prices based on geographic location of the buyer?"

Not sure if they do, but airlines do. I wanted to fly from NYC to Singapore for a few days, and then fly to a friends wedding in the Philippines. Searching the websites, the fares were ~600$ but my singaporean friends said it should be cheaper. So I flew to singapore, walked into a local travel agent office and got my tickets for around 150 SGD
> Watching at home, the Hawk-Eye appears to be a precise, schematic account of what just happened in a tennis match, tracking the ball in flight and then zooming down to the service line or the base line to show whether the shot has landed in or out. But what Hawk-Eye actually does is anticipate where a ball should land, triangulating the most likely outcome based on visual tracking of its trajectory. Despite the appearance of microscopic accuracy, the system at the time still assumed a margin of error of about 3.6 millimetres.

That's exactly what"tracking the ball in flight" means. And 3.6 mm is pretty much the thickness of the fuzz on the ball. No human can measure or control the ball to that level of accuracy!

And tennis, and this system, is exactly the kind of sport which should use this tech. You need to answer the question of whether the ball was in or out frequently, accurately, and quickly, and the tech does that. Same with strike zone baseball cameras.

I agree that it's unfair to referees of basketball or football (especially American football) to compare their instant judgement of a highly dynamic game to minutes of footage from all angles, at high resolution, and at high frame rates. There is more to analyze than where the ball is. Tech would basically need a team of dozens of analysts watching each player from each angle to catch everything in real time that the talking heads can pick apart for the next week.
That sounds unusually short. I bought 1pt milk from tesco on 2nd April and its use by date is 11th April; the 4pt cantainer i bought last week sometime (so 27th March or so?) is use by 6th April.

Perhaps 3 weeks would indeed be stretching it, but (with the proviso that I'm going entirely by my gut here, nothing scientific) 10 days feels pretty usual.

Let's back up and not make it about this particular person. I don't care what job you're working in, if you were willing to hire someone who has not been able to hold a job in the field, who had a criminal record and even mental health issues, you would be inundated with applicants. If you interviewed than and selected based on motivation to work, you'd have a huge problem selecting from the people who are absolutely desperate to get a job.

But, in all honesty, can you actually provide what they need? Can you deal with alcoholism, or drug dependency? Can you deal with absenteeism? Can you deal with behaviour disorders that might even be violent?

I'm not saying a candidate will definitely have any of these problems (or others), but I am saying that I have worked with people with all of these kinds of issues before. It is crippling. It's hard enough to do a good job when you are with people who are able to hide their personal problems away for 8 hours a day and concentrate on work. If you have to deal with someone else's problems on top of your own on top of both of your jobs, can you really cope?

If the answer is yes, then please hire these people and help them. If the answer is no, then you're going to have to draw the line somewhere. Where? How much risk are you willing to take on board? How much risk can your organisation realistically deal with? The places I've worked at can barely cope with the problems they already have. Looking for more problems to solve will not actually help anyone if you can't actually solve them.

It sucks to let someone drown, but it is foolish to dive in and try to save them when you can't swim.

>do crime

This particular verb with the word crime--may I ask if you are an American? I've only ever heard people who are not from America say it this way. Americans always seem to say "commit" crime.
Windows NT has a kernel mutex type called a "mutant" that was added for compatibility with OS/2's mutex (back when the NT team was still pretending to be building a new OS/2 kernel). Dave Cutler thought the OS/2 mutex semantics were "brain-damaged" and called NT's version "mutant". If an OS/2 thread exited while holding a mutex, the mutex would remain inaccessible forever.

Consider yourself lucky. It's never happened to me. I've only been charged numerous cancellation fees. Im starting to think i can just walked there faster.
> %99 of the time they do it.

This would need to stop - how many of the clients file a dispute? Maybe a large percentage of HN readers - but not so much from the general public. Uber wins money it never was entitled to. No service provided, no pay.

I see now why legislation might have been the better choice, after all.

So yet again, someone who is determined to beat the system (usually an abuser) can do it.

Someone who simply wants to prevent their personal information being disseminated to the entire planet when your database is breached, gets fucked.

So which VPNs do you think are run by TLAs? Can you cite any actual evidence?

I know one: Anonymizer. It's a CIA operation. But arguably the target was Chinese users, not American revolutionaries.

We know that HideMyAss complied with a UK court order, triggered by an FBI request. But we also know that PIA, which is US based, told a US court that they don't retain logs.

Still, it is a reasonable concern. But you can distribute trust, rather like Tor does, by routing traffic through a nested chain of VPNs.
There are main three design trade-offs in the space of serialization protocols (even ignoring RPC):

1. Do you want an efficient format (i.e. binary) or a format that is easily readable/writable by humans (i.e. text)?

2. Do you want self-describing format (data schema is part of the standard) or schema-less format, to save space on transmission? And how much?

3. How to deal with mixed text data? Do you want primarily to store strings and escape any structured data within them (a la XML), or do you want to primarily store structured data and force all text to be escaped in them (a la JSON).

Personally, I like CBOR, which interestingly wasn't mentioned.

Money is nice. But if you don't have lots of fresh cut stone for your buildings, you spend that money on other materials, as it stretches the money much further to look elsewhere.

You might note that American cities use very little stone masonry in construction.

While I'm interested in considering this role of the router's wifi, I also feel like it doesn't take very good wifi to keep a speed test going 50 Mbps.

The author also mentions that their comparisons are done in cities, which are places populous enough such that it might be neighbors or people on the street using the Comcast Xfinity WIFI network via your router. It might be other people clogging channel time on your router's wifi, or it might be other people clogging the cable pipe!

Didn't see any other mentions, but turning off the public Xfinity hotspot is the #1 thing I'd try. It's a courteous service to leave open to travelers, but I wish there were some visibility to the home user about how much work it was doing for outsiders. Disabling guide:

Right but it's still not 'rape'. The concept of rape doesn't apply to cows. Cows cannot and do not ever give informed consent to anything, because they are simply incapable of ever being informed of anything.
It's not like it's unheard of for people to get arrested for online activity. And from what I understand, those often don't rely on network sniffing.

Because somewhere on your abstraction stack, you'll eventually get to things that are human-meaningful information. Things like facebook or backpage posts, credit card transactions, etc. Things that are in various ways tied to identifiable entities that exist in the physical world.
"People who "fast" while consuming coffee, broth, exogenous ketones, and other caloric substances still experience the benefits from caloric restriction. Still not actually fasting though."

If the coffee is black it has zero calories and is identical (in terms of caloric restriction) to tea or water ... so I don't think it belongs in the same group as broth ...
FWIW, I did not read Mz's comment as being critical of you.

If anything it was a confession that she misinterpreted your comment.
What is unfair is that too many high schoolers don't get the opportunity to be MIT-ready when they graduate, and thus MIT does indeed get many incoming freshmen from the elite schools the parent comment is complaining about.
I've been using a Zoom modem for years now with no issues at all. The Surfboard series is also pretty well recommended by my friends in the industry.

I still prefer to avoid combo modems though, I find that the Wi-fi tech upgrades at a faster pace, and prefer to keep the devices separate rather than combined into one box. YMMV, do what makes sense for your setup.
I don't think that's true unless you specifically request it.

Right, but what about all those people who like a stable government and life as usual in the U.S.?

Yes.

If in a sci-fi novel an alien handed a character their 'magic rock' (iPhone) and they smelted it for its gold content rather than reverse-engineered it's wireless charging, communication, and computation capabilities you would scream at the character for being horribly short-sighted.

I think this is the real issue. Companies would rather reach 100 real, interested potential customers than 100K "users" that are all fraud and views on click farm pages. At the end of the day, it is about how many people come out of the bottom of the funnel and become customers, not simply the number dropped in the top. At this point, it is hard for ad tech to take this approach because customers have come to view clicks as almost worthless so they hope a few real people fall down through all the fraud.

There is a huge opportunity for someone to disrupt this space but it will take a new approach. It is hard to evaluate context when a lot of the web is just crap and screen scrapes of other sites and they all look the same. I think companies would actually pay more for the right system if it really moved the bottom line.
People are missing the point. There are multiple comments here that say:

Is it normal to wait that long to go to a doctor in the US?

and

I never understood why the US didn't have more walk in clinics.

But she did go to the doctor. Directly from the article: When they returned home, she walked in through the back door and said the visit to the doctor was a waste of time.
The doctor just said it was the flu and to "let it run its course."

There are two big issues: 1) it's hard do diagnose exactly how serious any particular case of the flu is, and 2) she wasn't vaccinated

Of course, as the article mentions, vaccination isn't a sure thing. That's why herd immunity is so important. That's why anti-vaccination nutcase celebrities are so dangerous.
Note that DPDK works just fine with virtio-net on GCE as well, although we have not declared official support for it.

Personally, I hate talking to random humans (I have friends, if I want to talk to someone). The only reason I ever do so, in the case bots are intended to serve, is if the company's website can't do what I want. Give me a good website that provides all of the stuff I might need to do when interacting with your company, and I will never ever ask to speak to a human.

I've always felt like bots for use in customer service were trying to solve a problem by adding more problems. So, now, not only is someone talking at your company because they have a problem that couldn't easily be solved by your web presence, now you're making them navigate an uncanny valley of dumb questions and answers...following the same old support script only now with even less intelligence and autonomy on the part of the company rep.
Attacks on bad hombres and Muslims are how the capitalist class keeps different segments of the working class at war with each other to distract them from addreasing their shared problems.

>Retirement is an entitlement pyramid, that means, people pay the government for it to take care of older participants, and by doing so they get entitled into receiving something in proportion to what they paid.

No it isn't. Retirement benefits have nothing to do with 'paying in' or 'investing' or some sort of 'fund'.
I know someone with a golf vacation business and a good chunk of their business is via travel agents from Germany. Not sure if it's just bigger over there or if it's more prevalent for group bookings that they cater to for golf.

Your point about keeping corporate bookings honest makes sense. I've found executive assistants to be very good at research and bookings though. But I suppose they could be more easily influenced than an outsourced agent.
I got your point. I have friends in the same position. If someone has a drug felony they can't even get financial aid for college.
