I work with angular and I'm scared badly of two-way data binding. I moved it to only work with simple fields as you described, but even in that case ended up being a problem. Once the bug was detected, in the end you need some kind of local variable (local to the component) to avoid the two-way data binding change causing weird behavior outside (things change from down to up, urgh.)

Be careful, long term two way databinding bites badly. The best idea is still a simple event when the value change, and trigger the change from top to bottom, not bottom-top
Trump’s Tech Opposition
I think VR is still so early and there is still no 'viral winning app' that 100% justifies VR. There is a lot of searching and scrambling for it. Perhaps it is in business and productivity. There is limitless potential for VR, but the tech isn't quite there for many use cases. And worse yet, is there is still no single app or game that is like, this is the single reason you buy into VR.

With rising property costs in many major areas and pushes towards open offices. Think of how VR would solve the proximity problem, if you could plug into VR into a virtual office and still have 'proximity benefits' while working remotely but still have privacy/separation and cheap rent and commute.

These aren't limitations imposed by The LEGO Group. They include a box of parts with instructions to build a model, but that doesn't stop anyone from building other things.

There are a few sites around where LEGO fans post alternate builds of models. Here's an example search showing 100+ alternate models built from a single 67 piece kit:

You can do this with licensed themes as well. Here's five alternate models that I built from a tiny X-Wing:

The cynical play for Greece might have been trying to schedule their bailouts in a default-friendly way. Accept bailouts, conduct several rounds of aggressive cuts to balance the budget (while financing with tranche funds), blame the Eurozone for them at home, and then default with a balanced budget immediately after a funding unlock.

I'm not sure it was possible - the deficit was too big to close without damaging the economy - but I suspect that leaning on international support while preparing an easy default might have been the best chance.
Thankfully, there is a good amount of space between money under mattresses and a government controlled economy. Your comment is a giant straw man. Canadian and EU systems are private ones and the government has little or no power to directly intervene, short of law enforcement.

The idea that eliminating paper is some sort of boogeyman from Revelations is about as silly as the idea that holding on to your Glock allows you defend your rights against a corrupt government. Neither actually offer any type of protection against these particular issues.

Unless you are wandering around with $20K in cash everyday, your bank account is still subject to the very things you seem to be afraid of. The only thing that changes in a mostly cashless society is your access to your bank account. If the government is going to freeze your account, it matters little if you have a chip card or need to go to the teller.

Thankfully, we in the west have moved most of the management of this to the private sector, and require things like warrants before any real action is done. That can and is an issue at times, but has little effect on the day to day implementation of one method over another.

Upcoming generations see Youtubers as their idols. It sounds stupid on the surface, but the ability to play a perfect game of Pacman wouldn't be the worst thing to bet on if you wanted to take over some big media company. Even if you don't have a tech billionaire stacking the deck.

Like finding startup ideas, I don't think the killer VR app is going to come about from someone looking for killer VR apps. It's going to start as something silly done by the people messing around with VR today.

Now imagine Zuckerberg 2020 VS Trump 2020. Who has better chances?
Because communal goals can't trump individual freedoms.

Communal goals must maintain freedoms that our battle tested constitutional rights guarantee.

I am fine with such analysis. But, we must keep above guidelines in mind when looking at pros/cons that the analysis reveals. You may say 500 accidental deaths are not too many and we should take away rights.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States

Each homicide is where the victim could have availed the option of defending self with guns. Whether such attempt to defend was successful or not, doesn't matter. What matters is that we as society didn't stop that person from having that option. 4.9 homicides per 100k people, that's 16,170 opportunities where a person could have used that option but failed. Then there are incidents where threat of gun stops a homicide. Is 500 accidents are OK as a cost? First of all, I don't agree that gun accidents are a cost that we are paying for having gun rights, there could be knife accidents or bow/arrow accidents if guns are banned. I look at it differently, imagine if you can go to each of those homicides as it is in progress, hit stop button on the time machine and tell the victim that please realize that you use to have an option to defend yourself in this situation with a gun, but we intentionally took it away because few other people were careless in their use of guns. Do you find it ethical to do that? I don't. And therein lies my stand on this.

Play it little differently, imagine each successful use of gun to defend oneself or their loved ones. Using time machine, do you feel comfortable going back to each such incident, take the gun away from the victim and ask them to use the phone instead. If you go back enough in time, then there wouldn't be phone, you would have to ask them to fight with frying pan. Can you do that? If not, how is the situation different today? How can we ask someone to not defend themselves and face a more powerful adversary with bare hands? Are you ok with people dying or being raped or looted where they had used guns successfully to avoid those outcomes? If you are ok with it then how are you not the enemy of those people?

This stuff takes time.

I know of at least one music venue that is currently being built with VR attendance as a major goal.

For concerts and sporting events, you need the right cameras, video pipeline, and bandwidth. One potential camera is here: https://www.orah.co/

But how many music venues were built with the bandwidth requirements of high-resolution 360 streaming video in mind? My guess is almost none. The bandwidth to support things like that is an industry in itself.

As far as after-the-fact concert attendance, I know that at least Red Bull had a major presence at Bonnaroo (a major music festival with an attendance of around 70,000) last summer, and they were shooting concerts with 360 cameras with the intent of sharing them online.

(According to this article, they may have actually been live streaming, but I'm not sure: https://www.axs.com/bonnaroo-2016-to-be-livestreamed-on-red-... I know first hand that they were there shooting stuff on gopro rigs, though, which requires post processing, so probably wouldn't have been live)
How to CREATE a PRODUCTIVE WORKSPACE AT HOME
Well... that's one step closer to authentic than a "Japanese" restaurant run by Han Chinese, I guess.

In my town, the authentic Japanese restaurant was next to the Subaru and Mitsubishi/Toyota car dealerships, and was pretty much there just so the auto executives had a reliably Japanese place to eat while visiting. It went out of business.

Japanese people may be the best at making a restaurant authentically Japanese, but Han are (anecdotally) much better at making a Japanese-themed restaurant authentically profitable.

Notice a trend? I've watched them exploit people over the past decade. I don't like what facebook has done to my more vulnerable friends. Elected office is the same deal, only you (inexplicably) get to ignore the public outcry every time you screw up.
It's an excellent reference for best (and common) practices, but I wouldn't recommend it so much as a learning tool. The 1.11 version weighs in at 549 pages and covers everything from installation and dev environments to security and continuous integrations. It's quite thorough and obvious the authors are well-versed in Django development. Highly recommeded.
I disagree with the premise a little bit. A tool like this could allow you to write code which is better suited for a human to read/maintain, but then still get the performance optimizations of pre-computed results being sent over the wire.
Your resilience towards work issues goes hand in hand with your personal situation. Just saying that if you would be in a super happy place personally, this stuff might get to you less.
Cost, probably.
You know what's funny? I actually think Ready Player One nailed the only use case that might be a game changer for VR: remote schools. You can just make all learning materials virtual. VR school means no physical real estate, buses, cafeterias, bullying, janitors, you can cut like 90% of support staff, the list goes on. Also if you divide people by location (like we do now) you can still coordinate field trips and/or social events that I'm sure parents and nay-sayers would claim are lost with virtual schools.

Honestly I think if we had the right software we could do remote schools effectively right now. The largest barriers are going to be (as always) legislation, bureaucracy, and cultural. I mean companies still balk at remote workers, I don't see governments jumping at remote teachers and students any time soon unfortunately.
You're quoting out of context and distorting what I said. I didn't say that it is unnatural to like your work. I said that liking your work is not the state of nature, counter to the prevalent message that you should always enjoy what you do, or else you're doing the wrong work. Or, as Dad would put it, "that's why it's called work," or as others have said, "that's why they pay you to do it."
If it turns out to be a huge case ($$$$$) then I can forsee Google owning part of Uber if not outright.

As far as your previous post, it's so mis-informed and ill-conceived, that the fact that you have a right to vote in my country scares the shit out of me.

Sure, only people who agree with you should vote. I find it quite ironic that this comes from someone who supports a leftist government.

As for being misinformed, you could provide something useful to the conversation by arguing with facts. Because all you've done so far is attacking me personally. Isn't it his fault that we have capital controls enforced? Six months before he took charge the banks were open and working just fine.
Most significantly, the precedential value of rulings is in the reasoning rather than the result (now, this is still a clear majority without Alito, but there are cases where there is a majority for the result but no majority for a rationale, which then have little precedential effect, because there is no reasoning you can point to as the "rule" by which the case was decided.)
Moderation is political, it is unavoidable. There is no such thing as neutral.
Otto Warmbier: Release Unclear for North Korea U.S. Captive
You used the language "at least" implying that you had a fair amount of certainty that that's the minimum cost of a VR PC. Additionally you were off by at least a factor of 2, which is outside a rough ballpark. While it might seem picky the amount of people who would decide to commit 2k to VR is far lower than those who would commit 1k, so in this case it is important to be accurate.
I saw Root posted on here today (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14256300) and thought I'd post about Fire (I've been working for Fire for a few years now).

A few months back we rebranded from PayWithFire.com to Fire.com which was a big step for the company. It's open to UK and Irish customers, but we're hoping to expand to elsewhere in the future.

At the moment the big banks are very slow here (probably the same in the US), when you want to open a bank account it takes a few months (and you'll have to actually go to a bank to apply!), at that stage you just get one currency, if you want another you'll have to go through another application process which also takes around 3 months - not good.

With Fire you can apply fully online and within 24 hours get up and running (both a £ and € account). If you want even more accounts, you can get another by just clicking "Add account" and you're done. Not to mention the banks charge ridiculous fees for startups that only have a few payments coming in now and again, who would much prefer fees based on usage. There's read only API access to the business account too which is handy for developers!

The feedback has been really positive from startups that just can't wait months and months to get access to a bank account. There's a personal app too which I suppose is similar to Venmo in the US. If anyone has any questions give us a shout.

The costs of dealing with breaches, no matter how demoralizing, never seem to justify
the extra time and money that good security requires. Additionally, although a security
flaw is sometimes traceable to a single line of code—as in Apple’s famous “curly braces”
bug—breaches are often a simultaneous failure on several levels of the software stack
and its implementation. So each company may be able to shift blame onto other actors,
and even the user.

That above paragraph provides another perspective on why the software security vulnerabilities happens more frequently, which is different from the hardware ones. [1]

I try to make the job interesting by looking at each project or task in a few different ways:

1) Can I find some way to automate it by building some interesting abstraction to the problem?

2) Can I use some new tool or technology to increase my skill set? This might even be a non-technical skill in some cases.

3) Can I write a blog about the problem and how I approached it and how I solved the problem. Doing this will help to market my skill set or help me make connections with other interesting people.

How does it compare to Google's closure compiler? It is considered by many best in class. It understands the code (uses Java based Rhino Javascript engine), while most alternatives (UglifyJS & co) just monkey patch things. You can trust the Google's closure compiler output.

There is some confusion in this thread about the purpose of this tool, which is targeted at generated code—specifically, code generated by other compilers. In order to get language features that don't exist in javascript, code has to be generated in a more or less context-agnostic way. This (as I understand it) brings more context to bear, to reduce the cost of the new abstractions for your specific usage.
I wish I could just have the ability to create virtual credit card numbers. I would be able to fill it with a certain balance, set up recurring balance refills, change the expiration date, keep a merchant whitelist, and cancel the number at any time. This gives me the opportunity to make sure that even if my card number was stolen or abused, the charge won't go through. If I sign up for a free trial or a service I only want for x months but need a card on record, I give them a virtual number and set the card up to cancel itself after the period is up. Or if I want to put all my netflix, hulu, pandora, etc charges on one number, I can set a monthly allowance for each merchant. If someone changes their prices, the charge gets declined and I can go back and reup the limit if I want.
Without reading further. I'd say yes and no.

No for client javascript. Compilation is a slow and intensive process. You don't have the time to optimize the mountains of code loading on every new page. It makes the page much slower to load. The returns are negative if all the code executed turned out to be a single function to flash a menu, before the user left.

Yes for server javascript. It's long running processes, web servers should take time on startup to perform JIT compilation. It's beneficial in the long run.

Hacker News is comprised primarily of people who do not wish to discuss a variety of viewpoints freely. Any comment that strays from the "party line" is immediately downvoted, usually without response from anyone. The "silent hand" of disapproval shames into submission or obscurity. The ideological purity of the community is preserved at all costs--especially at the cost of intellectual diversity.

I see comment after comment, ones that are completely reasonable and polite, downvoted into grayness because they disagree with the prevailing opinion. Instead of posting a reasonable, polite rebuttal--you know, furthering the pursuit of knowledge and understanding--people anonymously click the "I disapprove" button and censor opposing views. And you and dang don't do a thing about it. The people downvoting comments like that are completely abusing their downvote privilege, but it never stops. Then you revoke my upvoting privilege after I correctively upvote some unfairly downvoted comments. Apparently that's "working as intended" at Hacker News.

It depends. There really aren't any good numbers. We could tease out some conclusions by looking at things like poaching convictions, etc., in the First Industrial Revolution. Mainly, we can say that poaching did go down. However, whether that was because the law changed a longstanding social activity or because of societal changes that happened concomitantly with the law is something that could still be debated. In the case of something like poaching I actually think that deterrence worked. In the case of murder (which was my main focus) I'd say no.
