I've had better luck with flow over typescript, though frankly, I don't use either... I used flow instead of typescript for an angular 2 project a while ago. Not sure if the webpack story for typescript has improved.

I've managed to get webpack + babel + sass working pretty readily, in about the same time you mention above.

That people can abandon their life instead of committing suicide. But it does not matter, the message was downvoted for lack of clarity, and is too general to be useful.
Agreed I know the feeling. You think "well if doesn't get any worse I know I can handle it". Then it progressively gets worse and you get progressively get worse. Then you start thinking "how can get another job if I'm barely holding in to this one." This feeling is especially worse for new grads on the first "real" job. They wash out because they couldn't do the impossible and leave with no confidence in their talent.

It's quite trivial for a static analyzer to distinguish between a "string" and numeric value. So I think it's unnecessary to annotate : string : number, etc it just adds noise to the code. If you want to catch real bugs, check the parameters!

There are lots of alternatives to VNC that are much more efficient and depending on your connection can even stream HD video. Unfortunately many of the alternatives are poorly documented.

RDP will give better results and there are tons of implementations.

NoMachine is probably the best documented and supported. However is proprietary but they have a free version. I believe it can do streaming video.

Spice is poorly documented and seems to not be maintained however it is very efficient and can stream janky video.

Have a look at XRDP with libfxcodec for streaming video (need lots of bandwith) otherwise without libfxcodec for decent low bandwidth
The downvotes speak for themselves. This advice is too unclear to be helpful, and too general to be useful. Instead​ of giving general advice and feeling better, we should try to dig deeper, and resolve the actual problem. As far as the other person wants help, at least.
It's a tough reality, but yes. Memorizing trivia is a useful skill to get past first-tier tech interviews at large firms.

As a developer, you have a few options. First, you can recognize this reality and simply spend the necessary time cramming useless algorithms for a few weeks before you go off interviewing.

Or you can declare all this stupidity as beneath you, go in to your Google interview cold, and get rejected based on trivia even though you're genuinely smart and good at what you do.

Or, you can spend your first several years building impressive artifacts and creating relationships that you can leverage when the time comes to bypass the entire Tech Interview/Resume Filter/HR step of the hiring process and skip straight to the part where you're having coffee with the guy with hiring authority.

In that scenario I'd use git, and have a bare repo (`git init --bare`) on the file server for each of the client machines to use as a remote. Strictly speaking you could use git and just push code from one machine to the other, but having a central server is quite handy if you want to do things like CI or deployments.

>Same with C++, we were the outliers until console vendors started pushing C++ into devs. See Mike Acton's talks about about how he enjoyed having been forced to move from C into C++.

The first (major) console C++ SDK library is GNM/GNMX for PS4. Are you saying C++ games has been outliers till 201x? I guess this depends on how you define outliers then. Other than the guy casting his game writing on youtube (Code Hero?) I don't know of any significant titles in C past 2000. I have not seen all the games but I shipped a few myself and have friends working on many more and nobody that I know had been writing pure C. Think of all vtbl-> you'd have to write if you are targeting Windows/Xbox just for the pleasure to name your source file .c instead of .cpp!

>What one gets is type safety

Thanks, we've got this in C++ already.

>You know exactly who is responsible for releasing it, there are no double deallocations, releasing invalid addresses, or having to deal with library specific smart pointers (CPtr, QSmartPtr, unique_ptr, my_in-house_ptr, ...).

Never had been a problem for me. The only game I touched that had smart pointers had them because it used NetImmerse and it got cancelled anyways.

>Having a GC doesn't preclude lack of support for cache handling or SIMD.

I don't know what is cache handling, to be honest, but what I meant is that, since GC moves stuff around memory, it's likely to create cache hazards. And since it probably uses a single pool, you cannot change cache policies on per-entity basis.

>As for JIT quality, it is no different from any other compiler, otherwise as I referred, why not discuss C performance using MS-DOS compiler's benchmarks.

Really? You believe JIT will be on-par with a profile assisted, bruteforcing compiler, which can spend a week optimizing a single function?

I'm not from the US, but the hearsay is that getting a driver's license is a lot easier than in e.g. in Germany. Here in Germany getting a license costs ~1500 Euro and it's not uncommon for people to flunk their first attempt.
Install git without requiring root privileges... Also git is a 3rd party application, yet somehow all distros treat git as part of base system/OS bundle/whatever, so Fedora 25 has set version of 2.9, 24 of 2.7, etc. WHY. WHY. It's third party software, not part of your god damn OS - there should be only one version of git in the repos for ALL FEDORA VERSIONS - and that would be the latest... Come the fuck on.

Replace "git" with every other package....

Linux is so amateur hour with all plainly stupid decisions, I'd rather pay good money for proper unix.

I've also lived with many other nationalities and none of them do this. Fascinating.

I ran a Hackintosh laptop for a couple of years - a Dell mini 9, probably the best supported laptop for Mac OS ever.

It was great. Basically everything worked, and it never crashed.

Well, almost. Sometimes sound would stop working until reboot. Sometime wifi would not work after wake from sleep. I couldn't upgrade Mac OS. The keyboard was garbage, as was the screen. Ironically, A friend tripped over the cord and smashed the screen - if it was a real mac MagSafe would have saved it. (I replaced the screen for $35, which was nice).

All in all it was great, and after it I saved and saved and bought a real Mac Book Air 13 in 2012. I could not be happier. I have used it for tens of thousands of hours and it's still going strong taking a lot of abuse in West Africa.

At the end of the day, a Hackintosh just approaches the Apple experience, but I don't think it will ever get there.

> So designers have picked up the ball and now they want to program, the result being NodeJS, JS and blindness to their holes ( — craters) . Designers are no engineers and vice versa, we should stick to our respective strengths.

Wow, didn't realize I was a designer. Could've sworn I'd gotten that degree in CS.

If using Node on your backend is causing "millions per year" your app is too complicated for it to be written in Node. You're trying to street race in a smart car. Javascript is a silly language, sure, but you can't escape it on the front-end and using it on the backend when you can has some pretty undeniable advantages.
It wasn't really that closely tied, if I remember. It simply used Terminal Services to run a single application on the server. You've long been able to open local documents with remote applications, and have the general experience very close to a local application.

This is the only reason I have considered a Hackintosh in the past, actually got one but didn't get around to writing code for it because I got busy with other things. I wish it was less of a closed garden. I'm not sure how it helps their cause by setting the entry bar tied to hardware costs.

Um. Isn't that a contradiction in terms? By definition, DM is stuff whose existence is inferred by observations that contradict what we previously presumed to know. Hence postulate the existence of DM to close the gap between what we observe and what we "know".

Which software in particular?
As of now I don't see any problems with C++. I doubt Rust is going to offer something so much better that people will abandon the tools they already have for these benefits. Though, who knows? I never touched Rust.
I think that most people would answer your question by saying "because I need Mac app XYZ and Linux doesn't have a nice equivalent yet". I used to have a MacbookPro. I'm now 100% Linux (Debian). In my particular case, the only reason I would go back to using a Mac is for Logic Pro X (music creation software). I've used Ardour and Bitwig on Linux, but Logic is still superior in many ways. Having said that, it's not enough to drag me back to Mac, and there's no way in hell I'll ever use Windows again on any of my own systems. Generally speaking, I'm now 100% FOSS, and plan to be so for the rest of my tech days.
Thank you. And pardon the partially rhetorical nature of my initial response.

I... "grump" a bit, that way, every so often, as I hate to see the "open" web become -- from my perspective -- less and less so.

(All the more so for what is essentially static content.)

P.S. I don't consider Javascript-delivered content as libre as other, as the client has to trust that the scripting won't compromise them.

> Yes, the exhilaration of having the next big thing is great, but functionally I'm inclined to believe that having the old thing is just fine 99% of users, and probably 80% of HN readers.

A couple of months ago I dusted off an Acer Aspire One netbook (released in 2010, Atom N450 processor, 2GiB RAM) to install OpenBSD 6.0, after a few years with Linux and Mac OS X on other systems. Surprisingly it is my primary machine now.

Today I wanted to see if there were even smaller netbooks with usable keyboards around and came across this video comparison of the Sony Vaio P and Fujitsu UH900: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szbfvV4vwEI

The video was posted in February 2017 and the thing to notice are the complaints about the mini netbooks being unusable for web surfing and viewing videos in 2017. 99% of users are absolutely convinced that the reason web pages load slowly is not in fact horrible garbage JavaScript bloatware, but that their computers are too old and slow. HN users do things like uMatrix filtering and `youtube-dl -f`. I think that the 99% of users are much more demanding of their hardware than HN readers, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

Asking for money is such an huge entry barrier. Even if it would only cost one cent, it would still stop 99.99% of the users from using it.
I was kinda hoping for Bitcoin to fix this. But now it already cost a lot to make a transaction, and you can't instantly verify the payment. Paper money was a huge step, electronic payment was another huge step, lets take the next step!

Why do you care about the registry and NTFS?
I can relate, but consider this your first lesson in supply chain disruption effects.
People aren't conditioned to pay single-digit-dollars-if-that because of app-side shennanigans. They've been conditioned to pay that because of the vast array of free stuff out there. The difference between 'free' and 'a few dollars' is only a few dollars. The difference between 'free' and 'fifty dollars' is quite a bit.

Other companies have had similar levels of scrutiny after people died by suicide.
Everyone is blinded by the large number like $3 billion. That's not the number that matterS. All the companies in this market are subsidizing rides (except maybe the traditional taxis). What matters is how much each ride is being subsidized.

This question was asked on both 2015 & 2016 in HN. I would like to ask it again today to know what are the newest options for this.

Q: What would you recommend as a reasonably priced (sub 150$) quad-copter/drone, that has a camera, the ability to be programmed (so that I can process video/write my own stability algorithms for it), good range, and reasonable flying time?
In the event nothing fits that price point, any pointers on what the state of the art is?

Thanks!

fluxcapacitor autor here.

Fluxcapacitor is focused on speeding up complex programs - most notably test suites (that do fork/execve). The idea is to cheat on time, to allow testing timeout-related branches in code. You can spin out a server and a client, write a test that needs to wait 60 seconds for completion and see it pass in 0.6 seconds.

Tardis on the other hand seems single-threaded, which makes it useful for... not really sure. I guess a demo how to use ptrace.

The problem with syscall interception with ptrace is that it doesn't work for golang. Golang doesn't use libc. This means there is no way to hook into the VDSO[1] - based syscalls. They are just a jump from userspace to special userspace memory region, so ptrace won't ever see it.

So, this approach, using ptrace, as used in tardis and fluxcapacitor will not work for golang.
