That comes from government regulation. The FDA keeps your food from poisoning you. As of now, there is no structure in place forcing twitter to keep the spread of information alive and well.
Electron is a sub-optimal solution to the fact that desktop development today is horrible. You either have to write your app twice (or three times if you want Linux) or use Qt, which limits you to either C++ or this weird langauge/ecosystem nobody knows called Qt Quick.

Electron lets you write desktop apps that work decently well everywhere in a language you already know.
Indeed. I thought it was a reference to many pentagonal forts from the Middle Ages, like Castel Sant'Angelo on the banks of the Tiber.

All these nice graphs, but only few publications get that an indicator towards "better" (more points, fewer milliseconds, more fps, fewer watts) greatly improves comprehension speed, especially when multiple graphs using different metrics are used.

You're telling me that benefitting 33,000 people by $125 isn't worth $1.25m? If we started paying founders based on per-customer benefits, it gets ugly, fast.

Amazingly, people here seem to think it's a grievance that gets paid, not the execution of the idea. In America, grievances are more common than good ideas -- everybody has them. And in many cases, no matter how good the grievance, it takes real work to get the wronging party to pay any significant amount.

That's not to say the class action system can't be abused, but class actions aren't abusive by nature.
The russian proverb is actually 'laughter with no reason is a sign of stupidity’. 'Смех без причины - признак дурачины'. But, yeah, smiling with no genuine reason isn't usual here in Russia.
Or maybe it has something to do with time-to-market for existing web apps, or other loserish things. No, can't be. You must be right. Especially because you know more than one language. After all, when you learn more languages, it makes your words more true!
I agree. Still running a Phenom XII 940. Of course I've been upgrading the HDD all along (went through a Raptor, a VelociRaptor, an early 80GB SSD and finally a 256GB Samsung), and put in a new video card about four years ago (don't play latest games, anyway.)

The Phenom cost me... $220. So the Ryzen 5 1600 has my name written all over it. But really, it would just make some things I do on my computer a little quicker. It would not have the profound effect that switching to an SSD did, in my opinion. I'll let the idea bake for a while.

because they don't need to. Our phones and computers aren't where they were 10~15 years ago. The end user doesn't even notice if an app is native or running in Electron.

Given that constraint, time to market becomes crucial as the huge cross platform barrier is significantly reduced by Electron.

It's also a demographic shift. Young developer's aren't coding in Java peak world anymore. We haven't even reached peak Javascript yet.
VR Was the 'Next Big Thing' 20 Years Ago. What's Different Now?
All nice comments from the author. Good ideas, except that most of the time these should come from upper-management: security and performance? They are additional features. We'll bother with them later.

Lots of developers have great ideas when they are given space, meaning when it's in the "sprint". Some developers simply don't know about the existence of benchmark tools, etc., but, by experience, many of them know how to google.

What matters is 1) time-to-market, 2) it's swooshy enough, 3) it does what it's supposed to do.

I may also completely wrong: it's not always management to be bad here. Sometimes, it's a "bunch" of people who think they are doing the right thing (like choosing a technology instead of another). Management can't always be blamed for it (of course not) - especially when one of the people choosing is trustworthy.
I found that to be a pretty low number too (for a consultant). It seems like given the value he's bringing, he should be able justify far higher prices.

My own consulting rate is higher than that, and there's way more people with my skill set. One of the big differences is I work with companies that value code as an asset. It sounds like he's working with Banks which view code as a cost of doing business.
Judging from this email, yes it does. It should be noted that it is a remote position.
Twitter is an incredibly important communication medium

Perhaps, but that's not an inherent property of twitter itself, it just happens that people are there now, but the same could be said about Digg 6 years ago, or myspace 12 years ago or ICQ 20 years ago, people move around the web as trends come and go. Maybe your competitor will be the next big one, but you're not entitled to a network effect just because you don't like twitter, and neither are you entitled to dictate twitter's prerogatives just because twitter happens to be popular as of April 2017.

I wonder what that means for other big companies in the power generation sector like Mitsubishi, GE, and Siemens? GE and Toshiba already were partnered on a lot of projects. It seems like there is going to be a large void to fill if Toshiba also falls.

Since 'expired' food is almost always perfectly safe for human consumption there's nothing wrong with selling expired food and there's entire stores that have that business model. - http://www.delish.com/food-news/a46182/wefood-denmark-expire...

I used to go into a small store when I was a kid and ask for the expired bread. They'd come out of the back with and entire friggin garbage bag full of bread that 'expired' yesterday. That bag was $1.

FedEx truck running over people is illegal whereas Christian bookstores only stocking pro-Christian material is perfectly legal and good business.
I'm consistently blown away that stuff like this gets past testing.

Personally I think every software engineer should have a CPU meter of some for running on their machine while developing. Its an essential element of seeing what you're doing. How can you write decent software without having even that much visibility over what your computer is up to while your code runs?

These huge CPU sinks making it through to release required nobody to even glance at a CPU graph.
The real outrage in the airline industry is the fact that we allowed security theatre in the form of TSA to get so damn powerful in the first place. There is no reason to be allowing naked x-ray vision scans, pat downs that border on or actually are assault, etc.

As Bruce Schneier said, the one thing they did right after 9/11 was to make the cock-pit doors reinforced and locked from the inside.

Do you think rich people on their own jets get TSA patdowns the same way? No. What we are creating is a state of freedom for the rich, and compliant abuse for the majority of the citizens.

Since the new TSA regulations, I have only flown twice, for these very reasons. The first time I was so outraged at the scanners I was going to protest, but they just sent me through an old school metal detector and I was on my way. The second time, I only got the scanner leaving London, and being in a different country I knew I didn't have the same rights of protest as in the US.

I once called in to NPR while in D.C. when they had a TSA guy on the air. I asked if it wasn't an obvious conflict of interest for the guy at TSA who approved the scanner purchase to immediately go to work for that scanner company, and referenced the above Bruce Schneier quote. I got some deft wiggling out of an answer and my number was blocked the next time I tried to call into an NPR show. (not calling too much, had called in maybe 4 times in the past six months)

It's like someone somewhere said, "the terrorists can't take our freedoms if we take them away first!" (Of course, the real terrorists are the bankers and financiers)

We need to rethink the patriot act, the TSA, homeland security, NDAA, AUMF, and every other peice of legislation the corrupt and/or blackmailed congress allowed to pass (in violation of their oaths) in the clamor post 9/11.
How Pair Programming helps deliver better projects
I don't think that apps necessarily chose it because of the reasons you mentioned. It is most definitely due to productivity, but there are ways to mitigate the CPU and battery usage -- I often have Spotify open on my Mac and it really doesn't use much CPU (often less than either Safari or Docker), and it doesn't suffer from poor performance most of the time. I would say that while Electron apps, as a whole, are generally worse than a native app, there are ways around the issues that plague some of them that depend on the developer(s). For example, VSCode and Spotify having pretty good performance and not hogging CPU, while Slack and Atom the opposite.
> Toshiba has a going concern

a concern is going, or it is not. a concern cannot have a going concern (although perhaps a concern can own another concern, or perhaps several concerns). see the rest of the comments for discussion on the use of the phrase 'going concern'.

in this case, toshiba is concerned it has stopped becoming a going concern.

Am on a similar raid1 setup -

For me, I have 2x extra drives and a USB caddy,
and rsync the array onto the caddy automatically,
keepping the unused drive offsite.

This does mean that the wear on the live array
is higher than the offsite ones, and I have to have 4 drives
total, but since RAID1 with a traditional filesystem doesn't provide integrity protection (e.g. bit errors on 1 drive can cause silent corruption), I don't have to worry about subtle raid rebuild issues gradually propagating through the entire raid set.

The 'cheaper' version would be to only have 1 offsite drive,
but that means my data on the raid array is only protected
from severe failures up to the last time I ran the sync.

Longer run, I'm looking at moving up to something with
integrity protection, but since my server is OpenBSD (less storage configuration options), this means RAID5 which was only recently OK'd for rebuilds, and soft-raid5 rebuilds take forever on spinny drives -
Will probably wait and upgrade to 4x SSD's 1st or get a hardware
raid card (my data set is fairly small).

Another thought I had was to setup a raspberry PI at a friend/relative's place and have an Rsync run nightly to it,
and offer same to them... but haven't gotten around to it.
Good points but the bigger problem for me is the lack of an archive.

You only have the last 10k (?) messages and that includes public and private messages. If you have a mildly active project, messages may only be available for a month and you lose the history of the project. That makes it an awful support option too.
Considering that Trump won, it seems supporting Trump is plenty relatable to many Americans (approximately half). It's 50/50 either way.
Henry Cipolla on Location Services in Apps
Likewise: I regard code generation as a red flag these days. The version skew issues when code generated off slightly different versions of messages are in play can be really nasty. CORBA suffered from that issue big time in the late 90s. And if your generated code uses mutexes in a misguided attempt to be "thread safe", all bets are off...

Don't forget the fact that all these companies built their empires on top of "viral growth", which is an effect only possible because they figured out a way to get people to spread the "idea" of the product the company was pushing at the time to others. Of course, making money off these ideas is also important, so the VCs and private equity firms were there to help "guide" the company into making decision to change the product in ways the users don't/won't/can't notice.
You have to have passion for something that makes money....
Go's "error" system is nothing like Rusts. I personally find Go's terrible and boilerplate-y.

Rust's uses algebraic types to make things checked at compile time and uses operators like `?` to give you expressiveness while removing the overhead and annoyance of manually checking everything. It is a huge improvement.
C's syntax is horrible, but we can live with it. Where are the attempts to fix C's semantics, dammit? This project is as if a mechanic were given a broken car, and the first thing he did were repainting it.

Surprised that people here are taking this at face value. Why would Twitter remove these tweets from random users while leaving the vast majority of negative tweets in place? No proof has been given. Indeed, this Jay Beecher's allegedly deleted tweet is visible as far as I can tell: https://mobile.twitter.com/dancow/status/851808188567388161

edit: To be fair, Beecher says that my tweet refers to tweets he sent out after the original tweet was deleted. Indeed, his screenshot shows a different timestamp for the original tweet. Not knowing him at all, I have no reason to accuse him of deliberately making this up. But burden of evidence is still on him, and hard to accept claims of random Tweet deleting when, as I write, #NewUnitedAirlinesMottos is a top trend (as it has been all morning), and we have much more definitive evidence that Twitter manually shuts down controversial trending hashtags.

On a sidenote, how is it possible for a user to have a screenshot of an old tweet unless they took it before it was deleted? Other than a caching issue, I thought all Twitter clients (especially the official one) removed tweets marked for deletion? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5955021/detect-tweet-dele...
Protectionism. When the law grants a monopoly, small groups gain a huge advantage over everyone else.

Ironically, unions play their own part in that. Here in Canada we like to pick on teachers because, thanks to a strong union, they can make almost $100,000 for 8 months of work. Which is fine, and good for them, but the problem is that they are able to achieve that high income only because they actively prevent other people from doing the job. Someone who is stuck in a low-paying job has no avenue to compete against them, leaving that person stuck in a low-paying job while the teacher can start amassing wealth with the high income their job provides. This is how inequality happens.

Of course, not the same degree that you find with what is quite possibly the most insidious form of protectionism: Intellectual property. It's no coincidence that people like Bill Gates, who built a business on copyright law, are among the richest in the world. As soon as someone tries to offer the "Doors" operating system to fulfill the huge demand for such a product, they will get the pants sued off them. You can try to offer something sort of the same, but not really, but that doesn't put much pressure on the market for obvious reasons.

It would be kind of like if diary and poultry (Diary and poultry products have their own protectionist system in Canada, so I use that example as more than just a hypothetical) products were controlled by a certain group. You can grow celery to try and compete against them, but that's not really going to stop people from buying dairy and poultry if that's what the market wants. Celery is not cheese. As such, those who control the market profit greatly. A family friend is in the chicken business and he's been willing to share his wealth, and let's just say that I think a lot of startups would be pivoting to that business if there was a viable way in. The problem is, of course, that the protectionism doesn't allow a viable way in for everyone else.
And since the number of old guys available to help is constantly growing, it no longer makes sense to do projects without them. A diverse team makes better products.
Another excellent article.

What's good about them is they're very short and concise. You'll actually read them.
Sure. But my Twitter feed is not important enough for me to do something about that. As it is, it's somewhat entertaining (I check it perhaps once a week) whereas if it was unfiltered I never would. So I am at least one person for whom it makes business sense for Twitter to filter in order to keep me engaged.
Slack is okay if used appropriately.

Sometimes there's just general trash talk or real time chat and Slack is perfect for that.

We who use it don't want to have low value info pollute google search results. And we also have a public forum for info that should be searchable and requires asyn comms.

Of course like with anything if you're a fool and use it wrongly, you want get good results with it.
It's not for everyone, that's true. Some of us want to experience the joy of nourishing a new life, even if it's ungodly expensive.
This doesn't help if part of your goal is to have a system not written in COBOL. Emulating the older hardware and OS gives you an even more complex system that's harder to hire people to work on.
>I wonder if there's going to be a market developing for services that look like current services, but actually cost money somehow. Probably a billion-dollar-level opportunity for figuring out how to charge for a Facebook or Google or Twitter a couple of bucks a month.

You're really overestimating people's willingness to pay for a service that's already free and convenient. There's really no good comp for tens of millions of users switching from a free service to a paid service just to avoid ads/conspiracy theories.
Seems an easy question. English is basically a/the global language. If you want a massive portion of the community to find the content inaccessible, making it available only in French is a good way to do so.
Hyperbole is lost on you, it seems.
I would like to see more proof before I believe anything. People on the internet (especially Reddit) love to invent conspiracies. Is it likely that both Twitter and Reddit admins are somehow in cahoots with United Airlines?

Perhaps the federal government could find a budget every year to fund a website that provides exactly this, and that those managing it are not employees of the government.

Well it depends on how much you have worked with a person who was still learning English. For me it highly depends on the kind of typos:

- They're vs Their and similar normally denote uneducated native English speaker. The code might still be okay, but these typos passing to production makes me check code quality in case some similar QA mistakes are passed in the code.

- Grammar mistakes normally show a foreigner for whom English is not the main language. A small example just in the first line, "to create apps, games that run" => "to create apps and games that run", but this is normally due to a different language constructions. Similar to graphical softwares => graphical software.

So, kudos for OP to write the documentation in a non-native language! (upon light investigation it seems the main writer is French and his coworkers fix typos from time to time).
Not really. My point is that we don't like these titles not because there's something inherently wrong with the titles, but because of a Pavlovian association between them and poor quality articles.

Besides that, it feels like every single HN comment thread will include someone denouncing the article as clickbait. If so many people can read the article and find value in it, what does it mean to call it clickbait? Are clickbait articles more likely to be read and upvoted?
So when are we gunna start seeing Web Assembly targeting Electron and go full circle?

though I suppose trading access to some kind of encrypted rsync-like dumps or similar might work without some of those risks being too high

Well, of course when writing code you do want to run your tools that you are using without any issues. (IntelliJ, Visual Studio, profilers, ..)

So it's not just the "pushing text into a file" which you could of course just do from the terminal as well if you were so inclined to do.
