"I left the restaurant because they used blenders" vs "Blender is unsuitable for preparing {insert dish name} for {reasons here} therefore I don't order it in that restaurant which uses blenders while preparing it". I expect the second from a HN comment.

Also, if it's that obvious, why are there many people up-voting this and even then, why would you keep stating the "obvious"? Do you think the scenario you described, written as a "how to blend..." article, would attract attention here?

> PS. In Central and Northern Europe bikes are only useful for 4 months a year.

I lived in southern Sweden and while bike ridership did go down in winter, it was still very high. My city even prioritized snow-clearing/sanding of bike paths (they have special mini bulldozers).

edit: the numbers I found were that in Sweden 30-40% of trips on a bicycle were done in the winter half of the year, so about 30% lower ridership than in the summer[0]

That's of course the 1 Googleplex dollar question, what about the data. Currently FB/Google/Apple/MS (and now Amazon with Echo/Dash and(!) AWS) has a lot of data in one basket. And all of those baskets happen to be in the USA basket. (And of course there are also a few big basket things, but those are in China, and that's already a bad place for baskets.)

And so far Apple choose to sort of stand up for data protection. Google too, tries to do things securely (project zero, fuzzing, and so on) and fight NSLs and whatevers to a certain point. MS also went to court against DoJ over gag orders.

But what does that mean when they'll face a very underhanded administration, where things will just have to be done, when boots on the door first and you can maybe win in court later. (See also retroactive immunity, see also how long it took to stop "accumulating" maybe-terrorists in Guantanamo.)

But we also forget how bad other places have it. I've already mentioned China, but Turkey and Russia is the poster child for how things are going when you appoint friends to every position for more than 10 years, they have an incentive to please you and automatically side with you (and we haven't even talked about the obscene amount of money disappearing in the pockets of those friends).

People died because of money and conservative/fundamentalist ideology in Russia with the total blessing of the state/regime (I like the phrase `power structure` better.)

All in all, I think worrying about data is laughable, because when they are coming for data, a lot more is already long lost.

I think part of this trap was due to how FB encouraged people to "friend" as many people as they could..

At the height of my Facebook usage, I had less than 100 connections, because even back then I only stayed connected with people I was trying to maintain meaningful connections with.

No co-workers I didn't see socially, no one I went to high school or university with but didn't still keep in touch otherwise, etc..

So I rarely saw "junk" on my feed that was totally irrelevant to me, but it still happened sometimes..

In the UK we also have the after-effects of the Common Fisheries Policy, which has seen a ~50% decline in our local fishing industry since the 1970s.

I don't understand your concern. Does anyone read my comment and think that I think that I represent the HN readers? I doubt it, but, I'm sorry if that's the case.

This is genuinely applicable to me. I don't remember any of my passwords since I'm logged in at most places via cookies, and my passwords are completely randomized strings two dozen or more characters long, stored in a password manager.

Do border security understand how password managers work, or would I have to tell them how to access my own data?

Showerthought: If I delete my password manager from my phone, maybe the password manager should perform geolocation and detect if the application is trying to be installed at an airport (possibly indicating installation against my will). That's a very nuanced situation.

"wrong" is subjective here. You could also argue that Ruby+Tk is "wrong" because Ruby is not as efficient as coding in C++, or C, or Assembly.

What we're talking about here, (and every time this comes up, again, and again, and again, over and over) is what shortcuts you're willing to take to get to MVP. There are a lot of Electron success stories out there, and when you're a solo dev starting out, and want to make a cross platform app, Electron is approachable and proven.

What a great idea. I am renovating my house right now and I have to buy some paint for partially painting a facade. I could use such an app to be able to choose the paint color, in the store, as close as possible to the original one.

Do you know of any such app for Android?
Why do you think the reason matters? It doesn't change anything.
Not sure why it is the banks responsibility. If they sold their home, paid off any outstanding mortgage they are free to do what they want with the remaining money. However it still doesn't mean it was a good idea. What they have failed to see is that other social media companies usually burn other peoples money, and those other people generally are not going to become homeless if their gamble doesn't pay off.

I am hoping that the "we sold our house and cars and everything else" is just some BS to get themselves some publicity because I dont see how their costs are so high that they need to spend so much money on it. With their low numbers they are hardly going to be paying massive sums for hosting their site.

> Especially if your goal is to have a native app experience and not a website in an app.

FUD. People overstate the 'native experience' argument. Real users don't give a crap, there are tons of apps, even built with 'native' tech that feel unlike any other app. If I ask an average user the difference between Whatsapp/Spotify vs some native apps, are they really going to say 'Whatsapp/Spotify don't feel native'?

None of the apps I listed feel like 'a website in an app'. That's a huge exaggeration.
I'm totally with you. I haven't managed to get tmux copy paste to behave like I'd like it to, so I have a bind to toggle the mouse on or off, then use the alacritty functionality to copy.

The article cites papers for some of the architectures, and FRP papers have been around since the 90s. AFAIK the first mention of "functional reactive" is FRAN, written in Haskell, in 1997.

TBAG was close enough to the idea (maybe closer than most JS implementations!), in C++ in 1994.

I don't think the GP was referring only to the speed of the algorithm. If the system adds more frames to the animation in order to smooth it out then the animation slows down by definition, unless the frame rate is also increased.

If you play a game like Street Fighter 2 you'll note that the animations for many of the basic attacks are extremely brief, something like 11 frames in duration. This may further be reduced by animation cancelling, which allows a new animation to override the currently playing one, speeding things up.

I'm generally skeptical of the ability to speed up the frame rate in order to smooth things out anyway. Players tend to use certain key frames as cues to help them properly time their attacks. By running at a higher frame rate, you reduce the temporal distinctiveness of these key frames. At any rate, I'd like to see and judge the result for myself.
Like starting a social media site isnt enough of a gamble.
It wouldn't matter.

1. Lying to them falls under "fraudulent access to the USA" and the penalty is permanent exclusion, no Visa will help you, you have no right to appeal.

2. You cannot discuss or appeal anything, there isn't a discussion that you are a part of in which you get to explain your side or proffer an excuse... your actions already did your talking.

Don't lie to border control, don't give BS excuses. Either you're willing to give them access or you shouldn't have boarded the plane. "I can't because I don't remember" is not a right to enter the USA... you do not have that right, the right is granted by them.

You appear to be suggesting we forgive the project for its poor memory footprint because Electron was used as a sort of rapid prototyping tool to get v1.0 out the door.

I think you know just as well as everyone else that this project's use of Electron is unlikely to be an interim measure. It will (probably) always be a resource hog, just like Chrome will (probably) always be a resource hog. That's a conscious choice that is here for the duration.

Using Electron may have accelerated the process but let's not pretend that the author is going to rewrite it in something more performant once a little traction is gained.

Sure, but they usually can learn it extremely quickly :)

> I used to build computers with up to 10 different fans in them, it sounded like an airplane when you turned it on

That's weird, because if you have more fans, each one can spin slower. Did you just leave them all at 100% without any software control?

My tower is extremely quiet at idle, slightly louder at 100% CPU, and only actually loud at 100% GPU. (The GPU is heavily overclocked which requires more cooling from the case fans. If I ever want it to be quiet while gaming I can just lower the GPU clock and voltage. But I prefer more frames per second, I use headphones anyway :D)

Resume/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juhamattisantala
Email: juhamattisantala@gmail.com

I'm a full-stack web developer with experience in building SaaS services in couple of startups, Chartio in San Francisco and Smartly.io in Helsinki. Since 09/2015 I've been a community manager in an entrepreneurship community / coworking space helping young entrepreneurs to get started and network.

I have a wide perspective on product development from both the technical side (I can code and build stuff, been doing that since I was 11 or 12) and the business/customer side (from seeing dozens of startups get started and working in small startups myself). Analytics and data is really close to my heart and working as a data engineer would be awesome.

I'm also a good community manager. My background there is in non-profits such as Rails Girls and my current work at Boost Turku. I also run a tech meetup Turku <3 Frontend for local developers that has gathered over 300 people in a bit over a year to the community.

Learn more about me at https://hirejuhis.com and http://hamatti.org. I'm available starting October and willing to move.
A Look Inside Airbus’s Epic Assembly Line
Ask HN: Do you regret taking investment?
I tend to agree with you. Examples:

- My local garage sent me an SMS notification when my car's MOT was due. The notification included the number to call to book it in.

- My bank sends me SMS notifications if my current account goes overdrawn, giving me time to log in to their app or online to transfer funds before I incur any charges.

- A couple of the local taxi services send SMS notifications when my taxi is arriving (this isn't Uber - it's made it to Cambridge but they have very few vehicles so it's hopeless).

These are all perfectly valid uses of SMS for one way communication/notification, or communication where the response isn't another SMS.
Generosity and Honesty Depend on Exposure to Pictures of the Opposite Sex in Men
I had a marketing client/photographer have me build a web site for local sport clubs. They updated the site with scores plus thousands of photos of the athletes. The idea was to sell the photos to fans and parents. It was a decent idea, but I think they priced the (digital) photos too high, and the amount of work for the return just never surfaced.

This doesn't sound like an organic growth social network, and I feel they are misjudging the ROI on all the investment of time, effort and money.
