Wow. I remember the initial hype for animated PNGs, meant to replace animated GIFs. We all expected it to happen in a matter of a few months, and that must have been nearly a decade ago now? It took 2-3 years before I simply gave up on checking to see if support had rolled out. To this day I have never seen an animated PNG in action.

Animated GIFs continue to reign as king. Image hosts' demand to reduce outbound bandwidth costs finally culminated in the .gifv "format". IIRC it's nothing more than a WebM or MP4 video without an audio track, targeted at the html5 <video> element.

What is the real reason why animated PNG was not rolled out years ago when we were all eagerly awaiting its arrival? Was the process encumbered for legal reasons, or was it simply not prioritized as an easily checked off box by the major players (ie: browsers)?

I think perhaps the reason you got downvoted was for taking a privileged perspective in terms of thinking all humans make sense of the world through the world wide web.

Most of the world isn't checking the internet constantly. Even if one were to take the position that they will be soon, it's still perhaps limited to think that improving upon that is the best we can do.

This is cool; I've never seen an example of extending Racket's readtable.

I always imagined implementing string interpolation by overriding the implicit #%datum macro and checking for literal strings. Here's a quick (probably non-idiomatic) example for comparison.

#lang racket

(require
(rename-in racket (#%datum core-datum))
(for-syntax syntax/parse))

(define-syntax (#%datum stx)
(syntax-parse stx
[(_ . x:str) (interpolate #'x)]
[(_ . x) #'(core-datum . x)]))

(define-for-syntax (interpolate stx)
(define re #rx"@{[^}]+}")
(define (trim match) (substring match 2 (- (string-length match) 1)))
(define (to-stx val) (datum->syntax stx val))
(define (datum val) (to-stx (cons #'core-datum val)))
(define (source text) (to-stx (read (open-input-string text))))
(let* ([text (syntax->datum stx)]
[matches (regexp-match* re text)]
[template (datum (regexp-replace re text "~a"))]
[values (map (compose source trim) matches)])
(if (null? matches)
template
(to-stx `(,#'format ,template ,@values)))))

42 ;=> 42
#t ;=> #t
"1 time" ;=> "1 time"

(define foo 2)
"@{foo} times" ;=> "2 times"
"@{(+ foo 1)} times" ;=> "3 times"

(define (scoped foo)
(define (format . args) "boom!")
"@{foo} times")
(scoped 10) ;=> "10 times"
iMacs run desktop CPUs, but mobile GPUs (which are still pretty fast, but not the fastest).

Apple REALLY needs to come out with a mini-tower Mac supporting desktop graphics cards. And no, I don't mean the new Mac Pro.
You can actually make a sudoku problem where, by the rules of the game, all open pieces have at least 2 possible values while still having a unique solution. So, to that end, I am unaware of how you could make a solver that doesn't have to guess. (As noted in a sibling post, I wouldn't be shocked to find I was wrong, but I would be interested in the details.)

So, I'm ultimately wary of the claims here. The system has to be doing a search. It may be crafted in such a way that it just walks straight to the solution for some specifications, but that is as much from luck of easy constraints as it is the algorithm.

There is some strange geeky enjoyment from browsing all the serialization libraries out there. For my taste, I have centered on Cereal. When workind with C++ end to end, I have found it to be the easiest and fastest way to throw data around.
I don't think OS X's sandboxing has seen nearly as much scrutiny as the iOS/Android counterparts. An OS X sandbox escape buys you barely anything since the vast majority of apps don't come form the Mac App Store and don't bother enabling it. I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith in it.
Politicians made a decision to help the "free market" by making an exception to immigration rules with H1B visas. H1B visas were intended to address a shortage of highly skilled tech workers. They were not intended to supplant US workers, nor provide a readily accessible pool of low wage IT workers.

H1B abusers like Infosys use H1B to hire 90% of their staff. They then undercut US workers and cause them to be laid off while their cheaper H1B visa foreigners took jobs on US soil. Pretty much every government in the world regulates immigration. And if you ask a business which country has less favorable business rules, that would be India which is amongst the worst in the world.

You misspelled tea.
Sounds like this web developer's computer may have been one of the infamous Performa/Power Macintosh x200 series[1]. These are ridiculously designed machines.

Choice quote from http://lowendmac.com/1997/performa-and-power-mac-x200-issues...:

One of the biggest complaints about the x200 series is slow Internet handling. For one thing, looking at the chart above, all data from either the ports or the ethernet controller must pass through the processor to get to memory, then be processed, sent to the IDE controller for cache saving, and then interpreted for graphics display.

There are symptoms to notice because of this. While a web page is loading, typed characters will be lost. When dealing with high IDE access, the graphics controller will seem to freeze. When copying to a network or downloading a file, the monitor will rarely update and will have redraw problems. Spooled print jobs will take forever if lots of processor resizing is necessary.

Free market is incompatible with permission-based visas. We did not have it. If we did, Mexican agriculture workers, for example, would compete unrestrained with the US workers, without a need for a visa.

H1B visas were intended to allow highly educated and qualified workers to work in the US, for a wage in par with local similarly qualified workers. Such people are in short supply worldwide. The problem with Infosys is that it tended to neither bring in highly qualified workers, nor pay them comparably to the US market.
I don't know about the PC Pentium chip, but on laptop Celerons and Pentiums Intel must have like 100%-150% margin.

Those are not Core chips anymore (since post-Haswell). They are Atom chips, which Intel used to make for $30-$50, which the company is now selling for $100-$150.

Making such rip-off chips is one of the reasons why they merged the mobile business and the PC business, so they can show higher profitability "overall" for the division (especially since Intel used to subsidize the mobile chips, in order to compete).

Intel's process advantage used to be more like 3 years. It's now down to 1 year. This happened for two reasons: the other foundries reached FinFET, too (Intel was 2 years ahead just from FinFET alone before), and Moore's Law slowed down first for Intel, allowing the rest to catch-up (and it's now slowing down for them, too).

However, even with Intel's one year advantage, AMD could use Intel's chip building strategy to best it. What do I mean? I'm talking about how Intel will build server chips first on 10nm, and PC and laptop chips later.

If AMD starts building 7nm laptop APUs ASAP before Intel puts out its 10nm laptop chips, AMD could actually be seen as the "better option" overall in laptops (not just in value, in which they will be the winner anyway, but in pure performance).

Intel has also signaled in other ways (other than the 10nm strategy) that it will start fading out of the PC market to focus on "more profitable" server/machine learning markets, because there's not much for it to gain from the shrinking or at best stagnant PC market where it has 90% market share. However, AMD could grow from 10% or whatever it has now to at least 50% in the next 5-7 years, if it plays its cards right.

The only question is how interested they are in the PC market, too, because they may also chase the more profitable server/machine learning markets first. I'm not going to say with confidence that this is a mistake. They may need to focus on that at least partially to become profitable (which they haven't been for years), but I think it would be a better strategic move for AMD and for its image, if it started "conquering" the PC market first, before worrying about "what's the more profitable strategy."

If I were at AMD, I would probably worry more about Qualcomm in the PC market for the next few years (unless Windows on ARM is still a catastrophe, but I have a feeling it won't be, and that regular users in emerging markets won't notice a difference at that Celeron/Pentium level of performance). And the reason for that is that I suspect that even with AMD's sever cost-cutting over the past few years, Qualcomm's ARM chips may still be more profitable to build at a higher margin, which may mean that Qualcomm's chips could offer better value in budget laptops than either AMD or Intel. But that should be revealed to us in the next year or two at most.

Serialization can easily be a bottleneck, especially for write-heavy systems (like we do, with Event Sourcing). So i think it's quite natural that people try and squeeze the last few milliseconds out of it. It can easily make a huge difference when serializing/deserializing billions of entities

"Free Trade" is similar to freedom of speech. While arbitrary checks are damaging, there have to be rules to inhibit the abuse. "Let the market run free and everything will be right" sounds good in theory, but that implies that we will be better off without anti-trust laws, and minimum wage rules. In that case, what would stop companies from colluding to fix prices?

It's easy to derive another conclusion from your premise. It'll create market inefficiency, which will allow other promising companies to compete, which can potentially raise the quality of the end-result. Possibly, Infosys' customers could be better served by more competent engineering force.
Couldnt agree more. Also I think that defending ones project by saying its an exploration is often just taking the safer, easier route.

> LuaJIT has some nice speed improvements compared to standard Lua, but more importantly it has a pretty amazing FFI library. The C declaration parser in particular is valuable.

My mouth was hanging open when I discovered that you could literally a verbatim header with packed structs and use it and it would work. Then I looked at the source to find out what they were using as a compiler frontend; it's all hand written. Incredible.
No. They deserve the same protection as mathematicians.
This is a sham. There are so many people that are suffering because of this. Really good project managers that now have a very tough road to PR, even the role of CIO has been removed from the list of PR eligible occupations that companies can sponsor you under. Why on earth should you only hire tech talent from your own country? I get the idea of supporting local workers but surely if you want a vibrant tech sector, you should be able to hire the best globally; a fair few people I know at tech firms are now looking at not getting PR or it taking much longer and being far harder.

I realise that the abuse needed to be stopped but the changes were too blunt.
You grant some rights to other users of GitHub, but I'm not seeing anything that prevents proprietary code:

> If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to access your Content through the GitHub Service, and to use, display and perform your Content, and to reproduce your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality. You may grant further rights if you adopt a license.

https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/

To anyone more versed in US law than me, what usage specifically does "use, display and perform your Content" permit?
Sometimes ideas go a bit too far beyond useful and need to be pulled back, adjusted and then moved forward again.

For example it's great the labor can move freely between borders at the senior level, but is it really desirable for seniors to compete with juniors?

Should companies make a profit from arbitrage between the bargaining power of someone on a temporary visa vs a permanent visa? It seems like an arbitrary and not very useful divide that has a very real market effect
> But you can only do that with so many people.

That's a feature, not a bug.
I was duped into reading this a few months back. The entire page is total nonsense, promising to solve all of the world's problems without having a clue about anything. HN sinked to new depths for me by having this on the front page :/
The 'dislike', as you put it, is more based on their gaming the H1-B system. It's much less caused by RIFs associated with outsourcing per se. Unfair competition in free markers makes people conclude that the system is setup against them.
That's really incredible.

It's sad to see educators like this get pushed out of their field. I had some incredible teachers as well, but also some awful ones. There needs to be greater competitive components added to the education system, such as statistically significant pupil success in education and career outcomes.
