Several production cars have a centre speedometer, Minis for one. I've seen digital centered dashtop speedos in other mass market cars too... I just can't recall them at the moment.

I have used a GPS speedo on my screenmounted device for years, and looking down and forwards for my speed seems unnatural now.

When io.js merged back into node.js the following happened:

1. Node.js was abandoned and replaced with io.js.

2. Io.js was relabelled as node.js.

3. The node.js project was put under open governance via the creation of the Node Foundation.

This doesn't really compare to npm:

* The npm-cli's name is using npm Inc's trademark: giving it away would leave the company with no name or create unwanted ambiguity between npm Inc the company and npm-cli the (then) community-owned open source project unaffiliated with the company.

* Yarn does not share any source code directly with npm-cli, it's a complete reimplementation of a similar feature set. It's currently backed by a mirror of the npm registry but that's the extent of the overlap.

* The Node Foundation already exists and Yarn is already owned by the community. I could see Yarn joining the Node Foundation and the Node Foundation replacing its bundled dependency on the commercially owned npm-cli but even then npm Inc has nothing to contribute to the process.

Personally I would much rather see Yarn join the JavaScript Foundation because it speaks to the broader appeal of Yarn outside the traditional "Node community" and the politics involved in the latter and its close ties to npm Inc.

FWIW I consider the close ties between the Node project and npm Inc nothing more than a historical accident that has resulted in a conflict of interest that is overdue to be resolved by dropping npm-cli from the official releases.

Now that yarn is no longer distributed using npm (although it's still possible to install it that way) that seems more realistic than ever.

How to Design Push Notifications That People Wait For
As I said, the Earth's mantle is large.

The total volume of the oceans is about 1.35 billion cubic kilometers.

The total volume of the mantle is 909 billion cubic kilometers, roughly 1,000 times greater.

Moreover, the radioactive minerals which came out of the Earth's crust either originated within, or are otherwise found in, the Earth's mantle and core.

We're also talking about timecycles of hundreds of thousands of years, and, frankly, a mixing dynamic which is probably not well known.

I'm actually not much a fan of nuclear power (it's potentially useful, but highly problematic, and much more limited in capacity than is generally understood), but deep-mantle-injection would actually be, on the grand scheme of things, statistical noise so far as any radioactive risk is concerned.

We're also not aware of any biological activity occurring within the mantle. The problems with ocean pollution -- plastics, metals, fertilisers, etc. -- were that these are:

1. Generally unevenly distributed, with concentrations in specific areas.

2. Highly interactive with life forms -- biological concentration of heavy metals, forming algael blooms, etc.

3. For lighter detritus (especially plastics), confined to what's effectively a film at the surface of the oceans, rather than mixed throughout the full volume of the ocean.

Even for substances which do mix with seawater, such as CO2, the rate of mixing through the entire benthic column is a concern.

Where radioactive waste has entered seawater (numerous reactor cores, mostly from the nine nuclear-powered submarines which have sunk, waste disposal, and liquid discharge e.g., from Daichi-Fukushima), dilution with seawater tends to make this a very low-level threat at any distance from the immediate site.

(Despite this, I strongly discourage the practice.)

My point: in the list of risks to worry about, this isn't one I'd spend much time on. I've already spent more than it's worth.

The idea of a value_ptr is something that's been around in C++ for quite some time, now. It usually goes by the name clone_ptr or copy_ptr. (Googling for either will yield several implementations.)

Looking at the author's code on GitHub, this implementation seems decent.

One thing to note about this implementation is that it doesn't address the other big reason for doing dynamic allocations: polymorphic types. Value semantics are preserved so faithfully that objects are sliced just as they would be if they weren't dynamically allocated.

Consider this example: https://gist.github.com/SeanCline/c81218e4c0208ccb871268aecd...
Hi, I hope you find out the light at the end of the tunnel. Regarding your situation, I would think about this as a project, a project to go out. It has to be planned and executed. That helped me out many years ago. You don't need to quit now but bear in mind crying doesn't take to the shore.

In my London situation, 80% of my journeys will be within 20 miles.

However, I don't have a garage or even a house. I park on the street and I would need at least 1 weekly trip to some charging station.

In the 5% times I go over that distance, I will need to stop to charge when leaving and coming back ( considering I have never driven in the direction of a SuperCharger, so the only one available is in London )

So well, it was already a stretch to adapt my lifestyle to accomodate a Tesla, this missing feature is like a mail from Musk explaining me I'm definitively not the target demographic for his car.
All macroscopic life on Earth has existed for only about 600 million years, since the Cambrian Explosion.

Significant land life, about 350 million years.

Over 4.5 billion years, less than 15% of the total duration of the planet.

For most of Earth's existance, if you'd come searching for signs of life, you'd have found little but slime and bacterial stew in oceans and ponds. If that.
Yes, don't use globbing to find source files! CMake doesn't record that the file list came from a glob operation, so it doesn't set up the dependency checking to handle it. (Not all targets support this sort of thing anyway. I bet GNU make does a good job of it, especially if you use gcc -MMD and pattern rules; I rather doubt Ninja supports it; Visual Studio definitely doesn't.)

With manually-specified source file lists, using the Ninja, GNU make, NMake and Visual Studio generators, I have had to re-run cmake by hand no more than a few times, each time seemingly due to a bug somewhere. (Possibly my fault... I can't remember having had to do this with my current project.) Aside from that it's good at detecting when relevant files have changed, CMakeLists.txt included, and reinvoking itself as part of the build.

CMake has plenty of horrid parts, and there's probably plenty of reasonable workflows that it doesn't support, but I have to say that I've found the day-to-day workflow perfectly satisfactory...

Hi, I'm whatshisface, and unscrupulous team lead from the 1970s, when metering code seemed pretty workable.

Happening with humans too.

Humankind has transformed in the last century-and-a-half: a good chunk of our species is now taller than it's ever been.

Over the last 150 years the average human height has gone up in industrialized countries by up to 10 centimetres. And gains of up to 19 centimetres for Dutch men and woman.

Primarily due to improved nutrition, health, and in general a better quality of life.

A problem with any such rationalisation is that evolution is not teleological.

Animals don't seek to become anything, evolutionarily. But characteristics and traits offer fitness advantages over alternatives.

It's also difficult to disambiguate primary vs. secondary effects and consequences.

> Servo is already a runnable browser, and I'm amazed how fast it is

First of all, I think the idea behind Servo is awesome, and I follow it. But I've been testing it on Mac OS and Windows, and it is not a runnable browser, nor fast (as expected!). CPU is often fully pegged and it's very iffy if any UI elements or page loads work. Not to say they won't get there, but it's still very, very early and buggy.
Clojure is almost 10 years old. I don't think this reasoning makes sense though, because from what I've seen most of the cruft in any language comes from the very early design decisions (both in what's included and what's missing).

The constraints I impose are sufficient to exclude such cases in multiplications: a/b is first evaluated, and if the result is 0, it is precluded from multiplications. To avoid also divisions resulting in 0, you are right: We can easily constrain the nominator to express this, completely analogously to multiplication. This goes beyond the initial requirements though.

Ask HN: How would you value licensing software to a software vendor to sell
I have created a product that has a large addressable market. It won a hackathon and there is nothing like it on the market. One of the growing software firms in the industry has expressed interest. They seem really nice and have the infrastructure and customer base to help launch the software.

They would effectively like to run the software for me and pay a royalty. They are privately run and have had offers to sell which they have declined. So I don't think they will eventually sell to a larger vendor.

There are other larger software vendors in the industry who have expressed an interest in integrating with the software. Who could eventually buy me out or pay me a royalty for the integration?

Has anyone got advice?
How could I structure a deal? ie percentage rates.
Or should I go alone even though I think it will be a lot harder?
Agreed. I love work with clojure but no way I will pay a small fortune for a Datomic license.

I remember another Polish journal: Horyzonty Techniki dla Dzieci (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalejdoskop_Techniki ). I was reading Russian translated version of it under the name Горизонты техники для детей. I don't know if this journal was popular in Poland, but we, kids from USSR, liked it very much!

And I still remember the chapters of В Стране Микроников, или Секреты компьютера by Мирослав Томаля. This book was published in the journal. Sorry, I found no Polish or English sources about the book and the author. The book was about the kids who by some magic got inside the computer. Basically the story is the same as in The Town in the Snuff-box by Vladimir Odoyevsky. But with a lots of details about how computer hardware works. Today I could suggest this book to kids and some curious front-end web developers! :)
Yeah this sort of thing has much to do with a chosen paradigm than some blatant truth. If you instead changed the system to force manufacturers to play this game then they would do it and the system would still function. It would simply be a different set of economic moves. And there would be a lot less trash and probably the prices for many things would drop as well... and the system would become more efficient and that's exactly what shareholders don't want.
Flagged for arrant failure to add value to the conversation. I get that it's easy to just tear people down, and has a certain brief and nasty pleasure to it besides, but this sort of behavior helps nothing and nobody, and there is no place here for it.
OP, sounds like youre experiencing some real burnout. It's OK, it happens to a lot of people. Couple things to think about.

1) Are there ways you can keep going but change something to help? Going to see a therapist? Taking a short break? Talking about what's going on with your family? When you're stressed it's hard to remember all the support structures out there.

2) You need to ask yourself what is it worth to stay where you are (from a financial point of view). Is it worth a big payout in a few months to a year? Getting acquired is a good way to earn a big pile of FU money quick - and that will buy you all the time to relax and recoup that you need.

Do what you need to do to get better, and dont trash what youve worked hard to build! You can do it! Hope to see you post your success story a few months/years from now!
I'm with you on everything, but atm the most secure browser is Chrome. Of course I mean "secure" as in "difficult to exploit".
Firefox took marketshare from IE because Microsoft abandoned it for several years (IE6) then did an half-assed update with IE7. It was a big pile of poop and Firefox succeeded not because it was a great product because because it was the right product at the right time.

For Chrome on the other hand, its near-monopoly situation is worrisome but it's actually a pretty good product. So there is no pragmatic reasons to leave it for Firefox, only ideological reasons and it's a driver nearly not as powerful as suffering every day.
It can be done, but it's rare. I actually really enjoyed working with Expression Blend (Microsoft's front end xaml wysiwyg design program). The code that it outputted was usable, which after seeing the things that dreamweaver made was a breath of fresh air.

I'm try to understand how Ruby has any relation to Clojure's purported dying other than I guess a few critical things were said at a Ruby conference.

What is becoming less popular is dynamically typed languages or perhaps more correct to say languages who's types are not statically analyzed at compile time.

So if there is anything hurting Clojure I believe it is the increased uptake of languages with much better type systems than in the past (Scala, Swift, Rust, and even Go).

Particularly Go as clearly it is eating a lot of the jaded JVM crowd (that .NET core should be taking up but for various reasons have not).

Hell even Python is moving towards being more type oriented or at least having support for optional typing.

That being said I think out of all the dynamic languages Lisp, and thus Clojure are the best. I even like Elisp. Its the only time I do like a dynamic language (other than quick shell like scripts) and that is because the runtime is integrated so heavily with the development that essentially you are getting your types constantly checked (as well as auto completion and code lookup).
Looks very intuitive, and nice tutorial.
>>Robert Murphy, an associate scholar at the Mises Institute, which promotes the teaching of Austrian economics, wrote in 2010 that idealists like Mr. Fresco were “wrong to blame our current dysfunctional world on capitalism or money per se.” Instead, Mr. Murphy wrote, if property rights were respected by all, “humanity would become fantastically wealthy.”
