Populus.js
It's a graphic design program. If there is a project where tight integration between the graphic library and the rest of the codebase is expected (for performance reasons) and hard to avoid is here.

In wireshark, for example, its meat is in the networking code, and the important skills of the developers are there, on inkscape, on the other side, the non-trivial contributions probably happen very near to the graphic frontend. If GTK goes to the gutter, retraining the developers to get to the same level in Qt will set Inkscape back years.

Is it something like a Darkpool and Uber leveraging the Buy and Sell there?
> This is how things would look if we used pure functions:

My gut reaction: "Eeeewwww, procedural functions in a global namespace."

I've dealt with an old codebase made that way, passing around and modifying associative arrays in lieu of real objects. (PHP, but the same principles apply.) Things get very messy very quickly, and there's no consistent/reliable way to know how a given key-value-spaghetti ought to look... except by reverse-engineering every step in the process that kept mutating it. You get the fun of manually verifying that none of those hundreds of "modify the thing" methods happened to get called with your unstructured untyped thing.

> So, if `this` adds so much complexity (as I’m asserting), how do we avoid it without adding even more complexity to our code?

If you want classy Javascript, you change how you define and instantiate things. Once you've defined the properties and methods of `Person`, you want you pass it through a step that transparently replaces all the methods with a wrapper that maintains the correct `this`.

In essence, you automate the use of `Function.bind()`. Several frameworks provide versions of the same basic approach.
I look things up that I don't know. Right click -> Search for '<term>'.
Great, that really helps me visualise a use case where an expect framework would shine.
Unimportant things like climate change and affordable health care? You can't say that now that Trump is President and is making important changes that Clinton wouldn't have made.

I suspect it just uses the original levels as is. I replayed E1M1, and literally every single thing - items, secrets, even wall decorations - was where it was in the original map (don't ask me why I still remember these things...). The only differences are in replaced graphics. Also, the secret room elevator does take you to the secret map, which, at the first glance, also looked like the right thing.

Agreed.

I used to smoke weed every day for years but had to stop around the age of 24 due to ever-increasing paranoia and anxiety. It was really messing with my head and negatively affecting my life.

I can smoke fine these days but there is always that slight sense of anxiety and negative introspection when I do. It's not a pleasant feeling at all, so I I generally avoid weed these days.

Strange really as I do LSD and MDMA maybe once or twice a year for special occasions and have no problems.

That said I am definitely pro-legalisation. I just think people need to be educated about it. Legalisation proponents with genuinely good arguments can often find themselves drowned out by by those that refuse to acknowledge any potential downsides to their favourite recreactional drug, which is a shame.

Great article -.-
Even more ridiculously the page name "Inkscape's Reposorities" (https://inkscape.org/en/develop/inkscape-git/) does not contain a link to their reposority.
Absolutely right. There is an implied trade where the user trades control, configurability, etc to get reliability, simplicity, ease of use. The trade is really one-sided though, since most people don't value the former qualities. Consumers frequently trade away anything that isn't part of "consumption". Things that change the ability to spend, acquire, use, and rely on matter a lot, so when they trade money to get those things most consumers take it as a benefit that it won't be self-service. We've practically all made this choice with cars, bikes (lots of custom tools that keep the cycle shops in business), etc.

I'd agree there is a trade, I disagree that it is uninformed. My experience with consumers says that they just do not value the loss of control within the same order of magnitude as they value convenience and reliability.
Woah, that's not very kind! Some of these sites are run on a shoestring by sysadmins who are also juggling other issues, and it's hard for them to justify a brand-new deployment pipeline when the existing 'fput ~/code/the_web_site ftp://hosting/our_great_web_site' deployment costs nothing to maintain and works fine (sales/conversions are coming in).

But there is difference between bias and fake news.

That said, I think there's always place for a (or many) counter-culture sites, but I expect a more rigorous intellectual foundation from them not a lesser one to be taken as proper alternative sources. Kuhn's paradigm view is helpful here, MSM is not perfect, but a lot better than fringe/crackpot explanations of the world, and sure, there is probably a better one, but that's not the dominant one yet, but it'll be found by better and more data, better analysis, better methodologies, not by less, and not by more anger. (Sure, reading alt-news might feel right, you might get the feeling of OMG WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD OF THIS! DAMN I'LL HAVE TO USE THIS to keep myself free from MSM bias!! But to get less biased the solution is to explore the topics at hand from more primary sources (like watch a few youtube videos about the topic, watch a lecture by an accepted scientist/scholar), not by perusing even more biased sources).
reflog is local though
These taxes are from a time when cars were a status symbol; they're (most would say 'they were', but that I disagree with - nominally, yes, but I'm talking about popular support for the underlying sentiment) not so much a tax to stimulate environmentally responsible behavior as they are a tax to 'punish' ostentatious displays of wealth. It's the same as the 'BPM' tax here in the Netherlands. It's, at its core, a "protestant austerity" thing.
Yeah, but I usually don't get to see it because I only see the stuff that the people I follow tweet or retweet.

It's only when I click through into a tweet to look at the replies that I see the huge amount of junk that gets posted as replies to get more eyeballs.

Well cars have odometers don't they, tax based on that.
It's not just different. It is intentionally meant to make it more difficult to deviate from the defaults. Like making it impossible for a browser to change the default browser and forcing a user to go through the settings.
It's a choice of developers, not Android's failure. I suspect that game developers are trying to protect from piracy. I doubt that they implemented those checks just for fun.

Obviously, there needs to be a maintenance team.
OK, but this still has the same problem as BLEU- it relies on comparisons to human scores, which are entirely subjective. I'm not saying they're not the best we got, but it's a big problem for machine translation that the only way to evaluate results is, essentially, comparing it to eyballing.
> It's worth comparing to other languages. There are known ways to segfault PHP and most other scripting languages, but those bugs aren't considered security problems unless they meet all three criteria above.

With Python it's ok to execute arbitrary code if the bytecode fed to the interpreter is not sound (so be careful when generating bytecode). Ditto for formats like marshal and pickle.

The experiment that kicks off the piece looks pretty replication-crisis worthy.
Taxing vehicle use is a great idea, but vehicle ownership also has negative externalities which means it is appropriate to tax buying or owning a car including:

- Polution created by making a car.

- Cost of parking, especially in cities:

- parking takes up space, making it harder to walk between things
- street parking is untidy / ugly
- street parking obstructs traffic, bike lanes and bus lanes
- the need for large parking lots drives up the cost of building, which is passed on to drivers and non-drivers alike

Even in suburban areas having the streets full of parked cars has negative effects like reducing the space available for children to play.
Easy: I can't. This effect is known as Gell-Mann Amnesia effect: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/65213-briefly-stated-the-ge...
I'm not native speaker and can't get what "appropriating" means here. But that wasn't a criticism, that was a sharing of observation that, despite of "the fact" that google search is superior and irreplaceable, this is simply not true at least for one guy like me. Discovering that is very hard, unless some default browser in popular linux distro temporarily forces you to non-default default.

Other services were mentioned only to support "completely" part, which is criticism, but not search-related.
If the BPM isn't a tax to stimulate environmentally responsible behavior why is it a direct function of CO^2 emissions, with no tax payable on zero-emission vehicles, no matter how mch they cost or how much of a display of wealth the are?

A nuclear-powered truck with a RBMK-type (think Davy Crockett) reactor (with the right economics of scale) might be so cheap to make, it would be more competitive than a gas-powered truck over its entire lifespan.

So, the debate is what you make it to be.
People do drive abroad you know. If I do most(or any percentage) of my miles abroad why would I pay tax on those miles where the car is registered? Meantime, I buy the fuel in those other countries, paying tax there.

No idea how to solve that for electric vehicles. Presumably still at the point of charging.
The stats are a bit misleading. Of course the sales for Jan 2017 will be low if it was known beforehand that Q4 2016 would be the last moment that electric cars were not fully taxed. Everyone who was planning to purchase an electric car would make sure to buy it in Q4 2016 and not in Q1 2017.

This doesn't tell much about the future of electric cars sales in Denmark; after a while the sales will recover again and only then we will know if they have dropped comparing to the earlier numbers or not.
Adoption has taken forever mostly because it's a solution in search of a problem, at least in terms of how it's been sold to users. The main user-visible difference is "lose the ability to run remote programs on your local display" - you can understand why users aren't lining up for that.
Pretty sure Google can't do user-facing tools that have a greater support burden than "FYI type your query into the box" (and also don't generate revenue)

To be clear: the resources+alternatives aren't a problem, it's big G's inability to convert them into a revenue stream with light support/maintenance costs.
Whilst tethering is an option it would be more convenient for the laptop to have its own HSDPA connection. My phone uses up more battery power when I have the hotspot function activated, so I generally don't have it turned on. As for WiFi, when you are on the move, having to connect to different WiFi networks becomes a chore.

When using my iPad I really do like that fact that it automatically connects to the 4G network without me having to do anything. So I would buy a laptop with a SIM as long as it runs OS/X or Linux.

Who complains about stuff on someone else's website not being tagged NSFW? It's their website, they didn't name it workrelated.com -- I just thought "protest" sounded a little extreme and a sign of our sensitive new culture, where we each expect everyone else to tiptoe around us. Maybe I misinterpreted.
I suspect, requiring all cars to have a telematic device is the answer here. Insurance companies are already using these and the behaviour of individuals drastically improves when one is installed.

This has an advantage in enabling provision of a device at country borders etc.

Another option is to develop a cheap Automatic Number Plate Camera and create a network of cameras across our road systems.

Both approaches not only allow road pricing strategies, but also address speeding.

This may be a bit big brother for some but this is pretty much the way I see us heading.

Ask HN: Why working in a cafe makes me feel more productive?
I'm sure people have asked this before, but I still want to start a thread, to get more thoughts and share my own. And of course, I am in a coffee house right now when I am typing this.

I find that working in a coffee house can make me more productive: I can start some new work; making new connections or important phone calls; finish some overdue work, and more. And it's not only the coffee that help this; I have coffee in my room and office, but still not as productive.

In my opinion, I think a coffee house environment brings the following:

1. Coffee (Dah! Coffee can help you awake).But I think this is not the most important factor.

2. The Flow of people and sound. I think this can help keeping your brain more active. You can observe the crowds, moving objects, and have maintain strong visual picture in your brain... I often feel like "ideas just flow all over my head" when I am sit by a window and look outside.

3. Another thing could be the "openness". My room has a nice desk, but it faces a wall. When I look up, I either see the wall or the reflection of myself in the monitor. I don't have scientific evidence, but being able to look far ahead can definitely help me awake and think.

4. Emotion. I also find my self often in a peaceful and delight mood when I am in a coffee house. This emotion can help people think better.

5.Curiosity. If you look outside a window, you may sub consciously thinking: what are these people doing? It's like a dog or cat watching the human world, it never gets sleepy.

There must be some signals and visual stuff going on in your brain when you are in such an environment, I may even conduct some A/B test myself.

That's my 2 cents. What's your experiences and stories ?

Well electricity is so heavily taxed in Denmark the price for electricity is multiplied multiple times over.

The actual cost like 90% of the price is taxes if I remember correctly.

So taxes for electric cars "Fuel" have already been accounted for.

Edit: grammar is hard
You can't selectively tax certain goods without creating a market failure.

E.g. if the purchase of cars isn't taxed I'll just import €10,000 of audio equipment by buying an old beater, then ripping out and selling the sound system and selling the car for scrap, while making a big profit because I'll be competing with local sellers that have to pay import tax on sound systems.

This is a straw man. The point is aside from whether there is a problem with D&I - but it also depends one what you mean by these terms as well.
The consensus is around some sort of road pricing either through ANPR cameras or telematic boxes.
