>Unlike IE and FireFox and Safari it comes from a company that is notorious for wanting to know everything about you.

That's not true. Microsoft has now gotten into the spying business, and is infamous for the Windows 10 telemetry. They're basically copying Google.

Firefox and Safari are the only ones that come from companies that aren't notorious for wanting to know everything about you. And Firefox doesn't try to get you to spend scads of money on massively overpriced but mediocre hardware that locks you into their ecosystem.

Firefox has its warts, but it's the only choice that really makes sense if you care about privacy and freedom and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Leaving gender aside, it's quite true that some personality types will react with panic or contempt when faced with such news. Perhaps a mix of both.
For far too many problems the work doesn't subdivide cleanly. A single person "pulling" for 16 hours a day at a given problem achieves 2x more than two people pulling at it for 8 hours each.

Or to put it another way, when Jeff Dean pulls an all nighter and commits code at 6am before collapsing under his desk for a few moments rest, for the rest of the day, all of Google is twice as productive.
It is unfortunate that the effort spent to accommodate screen readers is easy to see as less rewarding than the effort invested into all of the other users... Truthfully, it seems like the only really good solution would be to make screen readers much better at understanding the content than to make the content much better at being understood by screen readers. Pool the expertise where the need is. This kind of thing is why I feel that good AI is so important. We can make information far more accessible, especially when you consider that the AI doesn't actually have eyes either.
There's nothing preventing you from manually doing that when you type the code, but editors and pretty-printers won't know about it. Special-casing them to have "if the car of a list is cond, or this vector was preceded by let, ..., then every second element gets extra indentation if it's on a different line" vs just using the regular list formatting rules just squicks me.
This is what I came here to post, and you can see that, in the mobile chart, Chrome and Safari already seem to be levelling off. Maybe a better model would be like an ADSR (attack decay sustain release) envelope in sound synthesis where the logistic curve represents the attack / initial adoption phase, possibly followed by a mirror logistic curve representing mature saturation then eventual replacement by competitors. That said, some products do come back from the dead, like Mozilla itself; the Apple Mac is another example.

Saying "Chrome won" now feels like saying "IE won" in 2002 or so. Look at the chart here:

I really hope this isn't true, Clojure is my favorite programming language. I feel that it spoiled me. Builds are easy, code is elegant and easy to parse, functional programming combined with immutable data structures is beautiful. It also is great for "full-stack" devs in that there is little context switching between server and client.

I think the "killer app" that Clojure needs is that it should be compilable into C/C++ with the same great interop it has with Java. It would be amazing to be able to utilize all those libraries, all those frameworks, all that code... in a Clojure REPL!
Oops. https://xkcd.com/224/
The reciprocal of this is that here in Oklahoma we've got animal breeders turning saltwater runoff from reinjection wells into mini seas so as they claim... to breed tiny pet whales. The goal is to have teacup size whales that fit into purses in a hundred years or so. Idk internet cuteness combined with the desire to eat them in a sustained way or something, I guess. I think the whole thing is crazy and unethical.
We've accomplished much of the same by using GKE and making artifacts out of containers. New instances scale up within a few seconds (and less than a second if we pre-pull the image).

It's pretty amazing.
I think you are right, now it would be somehow hard to deny the fact that ipv4 addresses were possible to memorize, ipv6's, quite a bit less so. I agree that it's a non-issue 99% of the time, and the overwhelming majority of lambda users will use DNS anyways - that said, when you don't have DNS, are a sysadmin/engineer or what not, you do feel the pain sometimes :)
Further extrapolating on this idea, it would be neat to have "one lisp to rule them all" which worked something like the LLVM where you could write a module for each language you would like to compile into and then Clojure could be the glue between all of them.
Firefox's implementation is laughable at best. It doesn't support much of the local filesystem api. And that's just an example. Tons of other examples in bugzilla.

Very strange! I recently read a similarly-titled book by a certain Sarah Knight! I think my friend meant to recommend Manson's book, and i ended up ordering and reading Knight's months ago, and only figured out now that there might have been a miscommunication. Haha, thanks HN.
Yes. They'd be better off making it as utterly obscure as possible.

Perverse and contrary monkeys that we are, there is no better way of ensuring that some future person will dig it up than to have all sorts of signs telling them not to do that.
Case in point: Chernobyl. It's not safe enough to live in (I'd say), but people visit there quite a lot I've heard.
Yes, I know there is Chicken Scheme and Guile. I prefer Clojure over them though.
Take a vacation (even a short one) and maybe look into talking to a therapist. They can help you figure out where the clarity of your thought process may be caving a bit to the stress/anxiety of your job. I.e Working a wallmart isn't a stress free life. (Which isn't to say you shouldn't leave your job, it's just good to make that decision from a place of clarity rather than emotion).
I actually had it wrong in mine. Wasn't paying attention and had the dictionary the wrong way around. Probably would have been more obvious with the char since you can't sum them...

With the reverse thrown in to switch the key/value around we get the correct answer

q) 1#desc sum each group (!/) reverse (" II";"\t")0:`:1gram
2006| 22569013

or

k) {(&x=|/x)#x}@+/'=:!/|(" II";"\t")0:`:1gram
(,2006i)!,22569013i

Works the same for the simple example

k)e: 4 5 8 9 6!"ABBCA"
k){(&x=|/x)#x}@+/'=:e
(,"B")!,13

So true. I think when I retire I will not have a computer at home.
Just need a few SF people to chip in a week's rent :-)
For first time purchases, there's the FHA program.

Also, it maybe cheaper to rent than to buy.

Or move to a more affordable area with a much shorter commute. Some people commute for hours just to say they own a home while they spend much more of their lives and more money driving for hours.

Next, some people just say "fuck it," buy a Sprinter or GMC Savannah and convert it to a commute vehicle / stealth RV. No rent, no mortgage and not piling on more debt to be a servant to for the next 15 to 30 years.

Inflation is the friend of the debtor, deflation and hyperinflation are the enemies.

Also consider property taxes of the future: they may greatly increase depending on political and economic conditions, especially if a "Greece" national, state, county or city debt default situation comes to pass, or expenditures like another large war occurs.

Finally, if a local housing market changes significantly it is possible to go underwater, even without climate change. In which case, people get trapped and may lose their homes. There are also legal, quasilegal and extralegal foreclosure risks which can wipe away equity.

Came here to say exactly this. Sadly kube isn't great for highly dynamic loads as you need a bit of time to spin up more nodes.

I would just run docker images over custom images. Spin up even faster and a bit easier to build.

So don't talk to your spouse because they might get upset.

Great relationship advice.
All the older administrative workers at my office, who have used IE for years (often because their enterprise apps required it) are pretty grumpy about Edge.

I think it's mainly just because it's different. A lot of people don't like gratuitous change (something most tech companies don't understand at all). I'm sort of in that camp myself. I basically abandoned Office when they came out with the Ribbon UI, and I still haven't liked any new Windows compared to the "classic" NT desktop.
His two podcasts with Joe Rogan are the best. Joe himself said as much.
We still don't have the android maids that are past due, either. We've got a robot that does the vacuuming, and recently it was counted a major success to have a robot that could merely fold clothes (and only that). I don't know about you, but I think that free beamed energy is way more beneficial than a clothes-folding robot.

Or even if you count the awesome toys that Boston Dynamics puts out; they're still just that, toys. Incredible toys, but nowhere near taking over from humans.

We're nowhere near the AI that futurists of the past thought we'd have by now. Same goes for cancer cures (CRISPR).
> Honestly, add another machine and the problem is solved. youll be able to afford a team of programmers to rewrite your app in any language of your choosing by the time you feel the slow down.

I understand your point, but your statement isn't true in all circumstances. It depends on your business model. Performance begins to matter more when the economics demand it. Say you're working on a game that has a free tier, or a service that offers some things for free and some things paid. Every customer hour costs you a certain amount, and you can expect a certain amount of revenue per customer hour on average. With this kind of a balance, a 20x performance difference can mean a fundamental shift in what kinds of business models can be profitable.

So for something like enterprise software, yeah, add another server. But for something like an MMO or 4Chan performance can be make or break. It's all about cost per user hour vs. revenue per user hour.
I'd argue Javascript has largely 'un-broken' the Web. It transformed it from a static, pageload-based medium to something far more dynamic.
You could be suffering from major depression, aka clinical depression (maybe not... but some of what you said rings that warning bell for me). The crying in the shower is probably the biggest bell ringer for me.

I've known a couple of tech types (one dev, one a pm) that both found out that they were clinically depressed. They've both bounced back from it and are their old selves again.

Major depression is a serious medical issue and can happen to anyone... there's nothing to be ashamed of (and anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant). Treatment is usually talk therapy and antidepressants (and usually some time away from work... expecting a sick person to be at work while they're undergoing treatment is plain wrong).

Googling "major depression" will show you lots of resources... but talking to your doctor about this is your first step (this can be tough... but you can do it). Don't put that off. Especially don't put that off due to worry about step 2 though N.

So... your 2 options are really 3: See a doctor!

Best of luck (and feel free to reach out and I'll offer what advice/help I can).
Since I have little to no patience today, I cannot resist saying: I have no idea why you said this, who you said it to, who you thought would find it compelling, or what it's point is.

I know a lot of what you're saying, but you presented it in a contrarian mode. Like you were trying to make something clear. But your post doesn't illuminate anything except perhaps some trivia acquired in our shared history.

My only conclusion is that you were eager to talk about this but not to have a conversation about it. Perhaps in the future, placing it higher up the comment hierarchy will get you want you want.
I got a virtual DOM solution in ClojureScript too http://respo.site/ less features, more pure.
It's possible you may not have cultivated the right impression. It took me a while to figure out the psychological aspect of it and achieve the "I'm busy and I have things going on" look, but once I hit the sweet spot, the before and after difference was astounding. When I relocated to another country and a different professional and social circle, it was like I was perceived to be a completely different person, even though my actual behavior and personality had only been slightly adjusted.

I essentially molded my behavior on that of people who I myself perceived to be busy and "important". In some cases, I wasn't even consciously aware that I treated some people with more respect and others with less (those who showed the same accommodating behavior I did, or worse) until I critically examined my relationship with them. It worked like a charm.

The most encouraging development was that after while I actually became a person with "things going on". Of course, this was only the natural progression of increased confidence, focus and free time.

Very cool, I wonder if the web one ends up responsive given a bootstrap-y model.
My wife would give me a good kick in the pants if I ever tried to slack off on my goals and dreams. I always go to her if I need some encouragement.
Yeah, I mean, I try to explain the appeal, and nobody is even willing to give it a shot. I can't help but laugh when someone tells me how their Magic Trackpad thing is so much better. The precision is terrible, it doesn't improve on all the standard mouse type of constant wrist movements, and so on. Sometimes I joke that trackpads were meant for species that haven't evolved thumbs, or haven't learned how to use them. :)
>> We really need someone to fight for our privacy and neutrality.

Well said.

I certainly hope it is not a PR stunt, but WordPress is probably the other big player in the fight for the open web. It might actually benefit all of us if Automattic starts making a lot of noise about privacy.

And ultimately, its not as if anyone wants any of these tech giants to completely fail (well, maybe Facebook). What we want is to not have the nature of the web changed to suit the whims of a handful of companies.
I don't personally agree with the following sentiment although I have certainly gone down this path myself even considering my beliefs. I think for a lot of people they'd rather not context switch into another language, or in many cases simply aren't proficient in a more appropriate language. Many devs are far from polyglots.

Even though I think that's the wrong approach I certainly have had many instances where I've whipped something quick up in language X even though it was wildly inappropriate simply because for me it was going to be faster
I went here: http://www.ory.am/sites/

They have a signup page. The premium option is $9/mo. I tried to signup, it brought me to a Google form. I completed the form.

OP: I will pay you $8/mo for this. It is beautiful and interesting, and is worth looking in to. I want to try to create some sites with this, I am happy to pay for it and self-host it. Hopefully it's easy to deploy.

Or better yet, I can let you host it for me. With the option of self-hosting anytime in the future. The key to adoption is making it as easy to install as Wordpress.

This could be big! Good luck.
I'm taking about using the 'Authentication: ' headers, not relying on the browser's handling of auth (other than making the requests).
You're bolstering my point. Thank you.
> wherein the bird extracts energy from the wind.

Just to be clear for others: the bird is gaining kinetic energy and/or elevation (potential energy). It's not extracting energy from the wind and converting it to chemical energy (fat/sugar).
Looking forward to when the code actually becomes available.. until then, it is a cool demo video :)
> is it not the case that sexual activity is recommended by therapists for stress relief?

No. Not it is not the case. No therapist would suggest sex for stress relief. While there is some evidence suggesting regular sex can reduce stress, it's on the same order of magnitude as exercise, getting enough sleep, eating right, etc. Using sex with your partner as some sort of stress release activity is really not healthy for the relationship.
My opinion was wrong and I stand corrected.
In addition to what other people are saying, a marital relationship typically starts between adults. We all have a back story and everyone has some kind of baggage, but a marriage is fundamentally different from a parent-child relationship in terms of power dynamics. An abused child has zero real alternative but to cope as best they can with what the parent is doing to them. Marriage is a bit more complicated than that.
Or, you know, go to an accredited medical professional instead of taking medical advice from randos on HN. Incidentally, a side effect of depression is also addiction.

> You are a web agency and are lookin for tailerd solutions?

From the pricing page. Is this a typo or a joke I am missing?
I wonder whether you know how to nurture leaders under you and how to delegate effectively? Many founders are relatively inexperienced and I understand this might not be the case for you. But if it sounds like something that resonates, consider reaching out to a mentor who can help with this. With an exit on the horizon, there's an end-game. It's likely the acquirer would anticipate you would leave anyway. You might start a dialog about building the skills of a replacement, you know, if you get hit by a bus, wink wink.
>1) that's an idiotic stereotype. Men and women both will react in similar ways.

Do you say this from a position of experience and authority on this subject (i.e., you know that it is false because you yourself have experience with seeing how different people react to news like that), or do you disagree just because such statements conflict with your value system?
Definitely agree with much of that, though I don't think it detracts too much from my main point. Most of the companies I work with don't have the luxury of dedicated ops people, and those that do I still think insulate developers too much from the production environment.
The natural evolution of this is for men and women both to have bots go on dating sites for them, and when their bots hit it off online, their human masters can meet in the real world.
i blame monolithic microservices...
If you look at how long it took for Sun to make Solaris free software (and even then it wasn't truly free in some cases) I doubt Microsoft would ever consider spending that much time doing it.
Vacation aside, I have a tactical suggestion that could help quickly if you can afford it: Hire an assistant. You get two things from this pretty quickly: instant help with your petty day to day tasks to allow you to save your energy for the truly grinding chores that only you can do, plus a teammate who will be by your side as you fight through the next couple years.

I have a relatively stressful founder job and have recently been able to do this. Just having someone who's in my inbox, seeing the same demands I see, makes it much easier to get through each day.
Huge security hole now that Alexa is available via any Web browser?

The single most effective thing I've done to speed up my web browsing is to install an advertisement blocker extension/plugin/addon.

Based on this I wonder whether web browser benchmarks should be based on how fast they are after adverts are blocked, not only their rendering engine per se.
Excellent advice, though I must say that

> If you died in a car crash today, the company would find a way to continue.

might not be the most comfortable way to describe a person's importance when they're feeling down. I would instead say "if you quit today suddenly with no warning,".
Servo is already a runnable browser, and I'm amazed how fast it is. It still has rendering issues with plenty (any reasonably complicated media-heavy site, i.e.: cnn.com) of sites, but even then, it's already an amazing piece of technology. On top of that, the point of Servo isn't to be a brand new full on browser, it's to be a proving ground for a next-gen engine.

And it's proving to be fast, safe, and the future of browsers.
What do you expect people to be doing on the train? Contributing to emacs?
Hey, you weren't totally wrong. If you want to use a simple and fast web-browser on the bleeding edge of development, you can use Servo today. On all the computers I've tried it on it's been really fast, though with plenty of rendering issues.
I agree, but I don't think you can get there without seriously compromising the privacy of the individual. It's just too easy to leak information about a given individual when their "profile" is available to companies.
I suspect such a system would still produce better results than the current landscape.
I primarily use the Epic Privacy Browser (it is chromium based). No other browser except TOR comes close to them in terms of privacy.
What is the best way to start learning React Native?
Hey does this mean that any automated drone in North Dakota ... say, an Amazon drone... does that mean that Jeff Bezos can then be accused for reckless endangerment and sent to seven years in prison?
I understand that people who like rust REALLY like Rust, but you do realize that your examples of a purpose for existence consist of:

1. A programming language, that hasn't yet shown "escape velocity" to go beyond D and other would-be-C++-successors in traction.

2. The only major application of that language... a pre-alpha browser engine, which may or may not eventually replace the engine in a browser that is seriously declining in market share with no reversal in sight.

3. A desktop email client, from which Mozilla has repeatedly made clear their intentions to divest and move on.

4. A JavaScript and HTML reference manual.

Mozilla is an organization with over $400 million in annual revenue. Where that money is going baffles me.
