The datepicker native input plugin exists, so it's just installing it. Then you get a JS api for it.

If it doesn't exist somewhere in the thousands of plugins available, you'll have to make it yourself. The other thing that happens, is perhaps a plugin is only available for Android. Maybe there's another one with a slightly different JS api for iOS... or none.

I've also done emscripten compiled C++ mixed in there. Which replaced various native apps. Since it was mostly OpenGL anyway... the few controls were easily implemented in JS/Html.

Anyway... just trying to share some options. Lots of native cordova plugins available (which I guess is it's main point). I really don't care what other people do... and somehow got drawn in to this discussion again!
Ask HN: Product Feedback
Hi everyone,

We are pivoting our product and before we dive I would like to get some feedback from the community.

We are building a set of apps which developers can use to debug and test web apps for security vulnerabilities. The key difference between these tools and others is that ours run on top of your browser which means that:

* require just a browser
* always updated
* no need to setup proxy settings or open up your environment to 3rd-party servers
* you can test local apps as well as remote apps
* not locked to specific apps
* embeddable - you can link them to your own portals, status pages, ticketing systems, etc.

We think this service will appeal to developers who are inclined to do some security testing for their teams without wasting too much time because the tools are just a click away and they do not require too much attention or to keep up with the latest trends in security.

The tools are offered for free so you can use them without logging in or sign up. We are thinking to charge a license fee which not only make the apps more useful (access to some private services and storage) but also make them compatible for commercial use.

The current set of tools are available here:

https://market.secapps.com/

I would love to get your feedback.

I am also interested to ask the following specific questions:

* Would you find a service like this useful?

* Would you find the tools more useful than existing tools because we use web is a platform?

* How often do you think you are going to use tools like this, once a day, once a week, once a month?

* Would you pay for the service and how much if we make it available today, i.e. if you say yes and we drop in a link for payment in the comments - will you actually pay for it?

* If you cannot be bothered what do you do for security testing - what other tools or services are you using?

I am looking forward to read your comments.
> He was banned because he was harassing people

No he wasn't. Twitter claimed he incited other people to harass LJ.

You are also correct that, very often, the freedoms granted to Americans concern the ability of government, specifically, to impede; Hence it is correct that twitter would act differently when the government involves itself.
Come at me, scrubs.

- Languages which "compile to javascript" are little more than linters with delusions of grandeur.

- Significant whitespace is still syntax. Replacing brackets with non-printable characters only offers the illusion of elegance, at the expense of legibility and explicitness.

- PHP and Javascript may be terrible as general purpose languages, but they're very good at their intended purpose.

- There is no moral dimension to software licensing. FOSS software is not fundamentally good, and proprietary software is not fundamentally evil.

- The web is actually much better now than it was in the 90s.
Maybe, maybe not, but the point is there is a much lower barrier for people to do so whether or not there is any reason for it when it doesn't affect their livelihood.

There is also a much lower barrier for someone else to take it public for the same reason.
More to the point, Uber pretends to work like a real estate agent, while they are de facto acting like a reseller.

Like you said, if they would not try to weasel out of the responsibility that comes with being a reseller, all of this would be perfectly fine.

I actually do, yes.

All of my machines at home and online are all Linux machines, one of. Some of them have graphical UIs for various reasons. With that, all I need do is include the -X forward in my ssh config, and I can run X apps and display locally.

Right now, I have 3 programs running on remote machines. I don't have to care where they are... because they're right here on my desktop. It just works.

And Wayland/Mir/whatever doesn't. That's trading security problems for a purely worse experience.

If you need a Unix system that runs adobe software you need a mac.

And lets face it building a hackintosh is 10x the risk of building a Linux desktop for very little benefit, especially if adobe pulls a valve and decide to support Linux for all of their platforms.

The problem for Apple is that they need to be in the officials of high profile professionals if they need to keep their brand as valuable as they are and that means they need to offer a high power Unix workstation with a high level of compatibility with the Linux and Java environments that exists on servers, render farms and HPC clusters. At the same time when their consumer vision is to try and kill cross platform compatibility and move away from their Unix legacy.

If apple stays on their current path there will be a day within a decade when someone goes to a science or web dev conventions and shows images of laptop uses without a single macbook in it and thats why the "pro" market matter to apple.

IANANS (..Not a Nuclear Scientist ) but this seems like a feature, not a bug.

While Solar and other renewables are pretty awesome and we should continue investing in them, I also think it makes a LOT of sense to invest in nuclear energy, get off dirty coal completely (e.g. France) and then transition from Nuclear to other sources as and when they become available. Because right now the biggest greenhouse gas emissions (AFAIK) are from coal power plants and vehicles; the latter we seem to have a promising solution (electric vehicles).

Decrypted: The Expanse: Here there be dragons
As far as I can tell, none of the ape comments were made by Milo? Which specific comment of his did he do so, or incite harassment?

I researched Milo for a while, after seeing his initial interview with David Rubin, where he explained some of the politics behind Gamergate. Although his own politics is quite contrary to mine, I agree with him that there is a regressive left that would rather shutdown conversations than debate. They have a blatant disregard of facts and data, exactly what they accuse conservatives of doing, but they feel they are uniquely justified by noble motives which is misguided at best. I would agree with Milo on that being a nonsensical approach, and should be admonished by any true liberal who supports free speech and the exchange of ideas. Twitter effectively held Milo accountable for the actions of other people who were simply on the same side of the argument, that being that the new Ghostbusters was a terrible movie, on a pretty weak premise of his inciting harassment, but as far as I can tell from his quotes, all he was guilty of in that context was being downright nasty in his criticism of Leslie Jones' appearance and her illiteracy (as her spelling and grammar is atrocious), at the same time as stating his sexual proclivity towards African American men. But perhaps I missed some of his quotes, as I didn't follow the original conversation and have only found quotes of him in various articles, so please enlighten me with specific quotes if I'm mistaken.
> Free speech requires more than merely the government allowing it

"Free Speech" in the context of the first amendment deals specifically with the role of government.
You're right in that they won't admit they made a mistake because; in the short term, their decision made more money.

"Higher sales" is orthogonal to what software development professionals want.

They discontinued the Pro version and put the "Pro" name on a "consumer" version as far a software developers are concerned I think.

You make a good point. But one should add that:

A) Nuclear power is not available to all countries

B) No country operates in isolation. so e.g. if Australia decided to convert 100% to nuclear energy but other countries opposed it, they could impose sanctions (e.g.)

How I made an Scroll-Animations website load in less than 3 seconds
The common solution seems to be using redux-thunk to shoehorn all of this business logic into the action creators. I think that's an absolutely terrible idea. IMO redux-thunk muddies up the terms "dispatch" and "action creator" and essentially creates a huge noob trap where new programmers don't even know what an action creator is anymore and they use the wrong terminology for everything.

Having said that, I think the thunk pattern is a fantastic solution. The two things the business logic functions need to do their job are dispatch, and the state, and the way redux-thunk does it with dependency injection makes your business logic functions very easy to test.

If somebody can come up with a solution with the same principle but without the absolutely moronic overloading of terms that people somehow find acceptable about redux-thunk, then they'll be onto a winner.

I am 47 and did this 10 years ago. I recommend doing both for a while. Get paying customers, build an mvp. Don't quit out of excitement, slow down and plan. Quitting or staying is a false choice. Some day it may not be but today it likely is.
Great idea, really like it. I really wonder why our overpaid German fintech ecosystem is unable to produce this kind of innovation? Is it because of too many regulations within the EU?
I would disagree with that one.

I worked on a neural network product that was coded in C++. It worked, and it came out early, before deep learning got bigger than beatlemania.

It used intrinsics​ to incorporate SIMD instructions, thus it was tied to a particular processor version. I seemed to be the only person who noticed or cared if the derivatives were calculated correctly, or to implement constraints with Lagrange multipliers rather than wishful thinking. Once we got it working we would be crazy to change anything.

Thus tensorflow, keras, and similar tools can save you a lot of grief.
Last time I tried Weston it had an rdp backend implemented.

That looks like JavaScript. Yes, of course you can use that - but which react projects do it that way? It seems this is mostly pulled out when people go... ewwwwwwww, stinky...

Most use the html+javascript language which is compiled and then spits out JavaScript and html. This is pretty much identical to PHP - which is a preprocessor template language.

Anyway, facebook says it reminds me of a template language, so I'll believe them.

1. Apple's telemetry is anonymize and not as invasive.

2. It's one option clearly in the setup and system preferences and easily disabled.

Neither of those is true for Windows 10.

Been using Vuejs for a couple of months now. Just love it's simplicity and flexibility. Tried Angular 2 earlier. It was ok. But they've lost it with their new release cycle. I guess people will hesitate to use it.

Needed a routing solution where we had to load list-> multiple details(multiple tabs from a list of items; loaded using ajax/websockets) not single detail view. Not sure either Angular or Vue's router could do it. So we ended up implementing a custom one.
Thanks for the kind words.

Ehhhhhh....I hate to bring this up repeatedly but SpaceX would not exist without NASA. Which brings us to the role of government in research: its not necessarily to own everything, but it is provide incentives in one way or the other. To create a Market where none existed previously.
Couldn't you just extend the React.Component class with whatever you need, and then use that instead of the base react class? Or am I misunderstanding what react is?

What they have done is semi-supervised learning (Char-RNN) + supervised training of sentiment.
Another way to do is semi-supervised learning (Word2Vec) + supervised training of sentiment.
If first approach works better, does it imply that character level learning is more performant than word level learning?
My previous car - Toyota Yaris - had an LCD speedometer in the center of the dashboard, and it worked fine. On the Yaris there was a system of mirrors so that the speedo was focused at infinity, thus you could look at it without your eyes adjusting focus at all.

No it's because marine reactors require highly enriched uranium to get the power density to weight ratio.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_marine_propulsion#Diff...

As you might guess, highly enriched uranium is trivial to make "dirty bombs" out of and a small step away from actual fission bombs. So it's avoided like plague in nuclear engineering unless it's absolutely performance critical and will be used in a highly secure place - like naval submarines & aircraft carriers.

I use it on my desktop and laptop today (Archlinux)

Have been using it since it was introduced in Fedora 16 (as I was a fedora guy) and I've never been convinced of its use on a server.

I understand it solves some problems but does so while introducing new and harder to remedy ones. (like tight ABI integration).

I don't mind systemd (ok, I'd criticise it but not nearly hate it as much), but I don't like that it's now the default target which forces me to use it in future.

I'm a Systems Engineer, so I have different needs from servers than Developers I guess, I want things to be easy to debug and diagnose.

I will say that I'm not only accustomed to systemd or sysvinit, I've also used runit at scale, along with SMF on Solaris and openrc.

SMF Beats the pants off systemd, even if it uses XML internally.
