I love that video. I've got an autographed pencil sketch of Bob's P-51 (autographed by both the artist and Bob!). And while watching him fly, the only explanation I could come up with that explains how effortless he makes it look is that he was actually a bird in an earlier lifetime.

While agree the increase in supply would drop the price I don't think the Spanish Price Revolution is analogous . . I think that's more analogous to what cryptocurrencies are doing to the Dollar.
It says it has to scan the entire threadlocal heap with mark and sweep. What am I missing?

Anyways I'm sorta being pedantic that it obviously has some sort of runtime. Maybe they meant to say not a runtime like a full VM ala Java?

You're not missing anything, that's exactly what's happening. WebGL/VR, WebCL, WebRTC, Filesystem API... the browser is becoming a simple feature-rich client OS for the cloud, and WebAssembly is the machine language.
This is even taken into account when loading fuel. The savings are enormous compared to ignoring this. It's both fuel saved to burn and fuel saved to haul.
I haven't lived in NYC in over 40 years, but I still remember the roaches. It's not something you easily forget.

That's the problem with high density older apartments. Your neighbors' roaches are your roaches, your neighbors' mice are your mice. Etc.

About the worst I've had to deal with in suburbia was an invasion of carpenter ants. An eco-friendly exterminator easily took care of them.

When prostitution is illegal, they are not able to receive the protection of society and the police. They are not able or discouraged from taking advantage of social welfare programs.

We are taking an already vulnerable and preyed upon population and essentially throwing them to the wolves.

I'm agreeing with you, just want to add that dimension which you touch upon but is the core of my belief.
>I assure you nobody wants to make you feel unwelcome. In fact we are happy to have you here.

Steve Bannon has explicitly said otherwise, and it's safe to assume he and the President share many of the same opinions, so I would not be too sure about this.

As crimsonalucard stated, it was on one hand something I've always wanted to try out. Just living on the barest essentials and seeing how far I could take it. Also I don't have any people I consider close family in my life, so in case I lose my job and the economy tanks, I can feel secure that at least I can survive.
You will almost always get better performance with CSS, unless you are using something like GSAP (which actually beats hardware accelerated CSS in some case). There are times though when you need animation to be dynamic, and React can be difficult to use with the more established framework agnostic animation libraries. This is also still a very young project, so I'm sure there are optimizations to be had. At some point, you will always be able to overwhelm the browser thread with too much to animate in under 16ms. I hope to get as close to (or under) that target as React and RAF will allow. As for the size, you may be right compared to standalone animation libraries. I am mostly comparing it to something like React-Motion (30kb I think?)
I went to college near there. I really miss being near stuff like the VLA. Plus every (clear sky) night being perfect for looking up!

Hello HN, This is a simple side project I made to prepare grocery lists. Just pick the items and your shopping list appears on the right (on smartphones, you will have to scroll all the way down to get the list). You could then print, copy or e-mail the list.

Tech: It is a static site built with vue.js, bootstrap. There is no database or webserver. I bought the domain name for 88 cents and am hosting it on firebase for free.

Why I built this: I have trouble focussing on my side projects. My past 4 side projects never finished because they were too big or I lost interest. So, I picked a simple pain point I myself had and built this.

Let me know what you guys think.
So far thinking:

- Demo day: 10-min pitches, treat it as the real deal
- Audience can fill out feedback cards
- Organize guaranteed user feedback networks(from i.e. at least five other startups)
- Party/network afterwards and celebrate our launch day/commitment to keep pushing!

Corporations, startups, small/medium sized businesses - and yes even average people want as few people doing as much work as possible. Would you want 3 plumbers to show up to your house to fix a leaking toilet? I do understand the history behind the rise of unions. And I generally think that unions have been a positive force in the world (and some current industries could probably benefit from unionization), however plenty of unions to this day give unions a bad name. Unions should protect workers against egregious corporate retaliation. They shouldn't be protecting workers jobs at the expense of a companies fiscal survival.
Biggest mistake to me looks like that there should have been fewer, shorter buildings, closer together to achieve roughly the same overall density but without all the for-cars space and weird not-parks. And yeah, ground-level retail, which would be more feasible without all that space between them.

Probably built in an area where you have to commute by car, though, so eliminating or reducing the car-owned space to make it more walkable, attractive, and human-friendly is likely not feasible. Which means you'll also have to drive to shop, and, and, and... further driving things apart with more parking, driving surface, and buffers for cars, and removing all other options as they become impossible (walking, biking) or impractically slow/expensive (buses, trains) due to low density. Same disease most of the US has.

Kinda looks like hotel/condo developments along the US East and Gulf coasts, actually.
The History of Computer RPGs
Damn that is really nice.
With the updated WSL version out I probably won't ever run across the issue again. I can't remember the exact circumstances, I may have had the folder open in a window or something (thinking of it, Windows doesn't let you rename files out from under processes, which may have been the reason).

However I do recall that trying to ctrl+c kill it didn't work. I don't recall what else I had/hadn't tried; I was rather busy at the time and couldn't stop to make a proper bug report.

All that mattered to me was that it completely stalled for no transparent reason and my best option was to just not even try to do real file management from the WSL environment.
I'm genuinely curious to know what you are implying here. Indians in the US are making highest median income because of some kind of racism/cronyism favoring them?
I always thought it's because a significant percentage (not all) who immigrate are at the top already
I had this same initial reaction, but concluded as others have that this architectural approach was not actually a separation of concerns but merely an unwieldy separation of technologies: http://blog.andrewray.me/youre-missing-the-point-of-jsx/

When you start thinking in components it becomes much nicer to have the styling, logic and layout all in one file, isolated from the rest of the application and easy to edit, move around and apply to any page.

The previous 'best practice' of having these coupled aspects in separate files now seems quaint and tedious.

There are of course trade-offs, and CSS-in-JS has not triumphed yet, but if you've held off from considering this approach simply because you've had 'separation of technologies' drummed into you in the past you might be missing out.
It provides incentive for those disposed to leaving anyway.

Not really incorrect, just disputed.
More than students it would suck for universities, less funding, less infrastructure growth, it would cause a domino effect. If not US then somewhere else, students will figure it out, they are young but it will have a long lasting effect on US. If talented students don't have options out side their home country they will improve the conditions of their home country and cause less brain drain. Especially China and India considering their population.

A more accurate statement might be that non top tier universities are terrible?

After doing a little hiring of Indians and working with them I get the impression that the top tier universities are pretty good, but the second tier and below are a lot worse in comparison to similarly ranked institutions in the US.

This looks great, but I still prefer the model of react-motion for most use cases. The main difference between the two is that react-move uses preset durations, whereas react-motion uses a physics model where the durations are dynamic at runtime, directly following from the physics calculations.

The account is likely shadowdead or some variant of it. A lot of places have a "silent ban" to stop unwanted trolls from continuing to make accounts.

The "silent" part means the user is cajoled into believing they're not banned. One of the ways to do this is to not kill their comments until a couple people reply to them. That way the system can tell them they have +3 votes or whatever when in reality nobody after the first 2 minutes even sees their post. If nobody ever replied to them it would look suspicious.

Not totally sure that's whats happening but it looks like it
I've never done mobile development, but I've always wondered why there isn't more of variety on third party UI frameworks for mobile, while on the JS side of UI there are plenty of good established choices, and new choices keep popping up.

I imagine some of it has to do with both webdev being more accessible, and JS as a language facilitating building frameworks. But as much as I've read people complaining about pain points of mobile development, I only see very few third party driven ui frameworks, and usually from well established companies(like Facebook with this) , not so much through community efforts.

Anybody with mobile experience care to chime in?

> I can say without a doubt in my mind that there is enormous cronyism and nepotism going on in the US.

And do you have any evidence that is more than anecdotal?

FWIW (not much) I am finishing up a CS PhD, and there are many Indian students in our grad department, and many Chinese in undergrad. Haven't seen much favoritism towards these groups at either grad or undergrad (by my observations TAing) over the 5 years I've been here.

It's crazy to me that not only you think there is epidemic cronyism, but that you also have "no doubt" about your beliefs...
If they're coming from different locations, then any one ship's path would be disrupted by "foreign" sources, making it somewhat unreliable. Worst would be when two sources are blowing (puffing?) at a ship between them.

Or, maybe they are intended to push ships: alien ships, to keep them away.

Or, maybe the ships are messages in bottles, and the senders don't care where they end up. Their current Voyagers? Our future Voyagers?
I know Moore's Law is basically dead but I think that advances in applications of existing computing power like this will resurrect it, or something like it, before too long. Basically, there's a less dramatic version of the AI snowball where faster computers lead to even faster computers. Whether someone manages to build strong AI on top of that is different question.
Everyone working on JavaScript right now lives in a bubble. Take a look at how back end languages have evolved and that's your future, you can try to deny it but your going to go the way C did and Java did. You can cite openness and the web and all these other things that make some kind of sense but history is against you.

In reality those arguments don't hold water. In reality our field is 30 years+ old and there is some maturity in the way things are done. All this crazy shit of rewrite everything all the time will just eventually tire people out and people will cut this redo an entire framework just because out.

JavaScript is one of the most important languages around right now and pretty soon the adults are going to be taking it away from the kids. Just as an FYI, this is another example of that. Too many important decisions are happening without much thought about what's there already.

I don't know maybe I'm wrong and maybe this time will be different but I've been around long enough. I learned the ins and outs of angular only to be told "fuck that" shortly after. It all seems very wrong too me but maybe you can tell me otherwise?

I used to do so and then people would complain to me in person, so I made another account. An obvious example of why you'd want another account - what if you wanted to say something critical about an employer?

The reason I made another account after that is this account specifically seems to have its comments automatically moved down the list. It's easy to find examples where upvoted comments sit below grayed out comments, and oftentimes when I post a new comment it immediately starts at the bottom of the pile.
They definitely both have their place in the sun. I feel like most of the time, I'm looking for a preset duration, which requires some experimenting in react-motion. The physics are cool, but can be decently imitated with some good easing functions.
Indeed, I used U-Haul as kind of generic word for rental truck here, but I much prefer Penske if I'm renting a truck. They have fewer locations but their trucks are clearly better maintained.
A few questions.

Is "free" trade possible without "free" labor mobility? Currently, 11 of the top 15 tech companies in India are American. For most of the multinational US companies, India (not EU, not China) is the biggest consumer (after US) or growth region. So how many Indians should be employed by the American companies (both tech and non-tech) active in Indian market? Should Indians be working on localization only or on the core technology? It seems to me, at current H-1B levels, the balance is heavily skewed towards trade rather than labor mobility.

Also how does H-1B decrease the salaries of Americans? H-1B makes American companies more competitive. And they are able to sell products in more markets. A cut in free labor mobility will lead to cut in free trade from the other side. Imagine you are a startup founder. You go to a VC and tell him/her that you plan to hire only natives and sell only in the local market. Do you think you will get any funds from the VC? If yes, then will you get more funds (and more revenue and salary) if your startup hires at the best talent/cost and is able to sell all around the world? The point being that there is a reason that as software engineer you earn 150k in US, not 40-70k as earned by software engineers in other developed countries.

And then there are studies showing that each H-1B creates 2-5 jobs in the US (some studies quote a much higher number...)

Isn't this an example of win-win?
There's a lot of hypothetical pride for it, but as far as financing and material support of museums etc, that's still lacking. The government mostly sees it at a propaganda investment, and so goes for more flashy stuff over more interesting or important.

Then there's the whole thing about suppressing the bits that are hard to whitewash. There are a bunch of laws currently in force that ban "denial of facts established by the ruling of the International Military Tribunal, approval of crimes, established by that ruling, as well as dissemination of knowingly false information about actions of the USSR in WW2 period". That last bit is the catch-all that can be used to censor pretty much any opinion not in line with official propaganda. Here's the law in question (in Russian):

http://www.zakonrf.info/uk/354.1/

For example, last year, a man was convicted and fined for sharing an article about Soviet occupation of Poland on his social media feed, because said article stated that USSR attacked Poland jointly with Germany, and therefore both countries bear equal responsibility for starting WW2. This was deemed as "contrary to the findings of the IMT" by the court (which is true, since any such questions related to Poland were effectively sidestepped under Soviet pressure). Here's the article in question (in Russian):

I am! And so are you! We're literally talking about social pressure here; everyone is the arbiter of what behavior is acceptable, and in aggregate that has a lot of coercive power.

Sometimes. Re: Milo Yiannopolous (and Richard Spencer, and Steve Bannon, and Alex Jones, etc) specifically, what he's wrapping are not truths, and the motivation is malicious.
