applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference

"Without any possibility" - You'd think that'd raise a few red flags.

The probability that Ethereum will be subject to downtime, censorship, fraud, and third party interference is 1.

How can they have that on their landing page and keep a straight face?
I agree with your point but think it furthers the above logic that personality (or editorial motivation) matter quite a bit. Assange and his motivation is important as he has seemingly near total control of WL.
I feel that the biggest advantage of Vue over React is that it's incrementally-adoptable. It's small and lightweight and fits nicely everywhere.

Preact offers a similar experience.
You think €51 per GB is absurd? I have a Vodafone prepaid connection from Germany. Currently traveling in Switzerland, Vodafone informed me my roaming data charges are 17ct per 50 Kb.

A little back of the envelope calculation and that puts my rate at €3.500 per GB. Now that's an absurd value!!
totally! but the pure JS syntax is pretty rough (IMO) and I was simply comparing their "default" templating languages, since most people will probably start with them.

I love react and have always been super impressed with the ecosystem FB created - just wanted to give Vue credit for being an enjoyable framework.
Hi Guys,

I wrote a cryptocurrency twitter sentiment analysis tool I use for trading, but I'm about to go on a holiday for a month, and thus making it public for a while!

It filters tweets by amount of followers, favourites and retweets.

It's connected to the google language api and does some weighting over followers amount and average user sentiment. If you want to know more, send me a message or an email!

If you like it, feel free to donate a coffee!

I was hoping for WebAssembly - that is, a bash interpreter really running in the browser. Of course, that would be a lot more ambitious, since unless you wanted to be limited to bash builtins, you’d also need some kind of kernel and the ability to run other processes…

(Yes, I’ve seen jslinux.)
You might want to have a look at Weex, aka "vue native":

JSX is not a requirement for React. React has the same kind of flexibility you are criticizing.

ICE 3 weighs 400T, it has 16 motors that probably weigh less than 2T each. Overall the motores are most likely less than 10% of the weight (ICE 3 is a very light train overall, with lots of motors, probably giving it an unfavorable motor/train weight compared to an electric locomotive-pulled freight train).

A bigger concern is the efficiency of transporting energy _to_ the train. That's one of the reasons why long distance routes use overhead electricity, because you can have higher voltage (12kv-25kv) compared to third rail (600v-1.5kv).

This is like third rail on steroids -- lots of construction near the ground, probably lots of energy losses all around.

Plus it's an unproven technology, with a single vendor. It'll be a hard sell.

You are right, the 6 second limit is on the low end. Ther is also a timeout for general inactivity which is currently set to 60 seconds. I want to make them both configurable and provide better defaults.

The storage of arbitrary secrets is definitly on my todo list.

As for the git integration i do not see the point of having it. For someone who is able to set up a remote git repo, it should be trivial to use git for synchronization, even without "git integration", since everything is stored in a single file.

I have not yet looked into browser integration or clients for mobile platforms, but maybe there is a way to integrate with existing apps/extensions.
That's 77 euro for 10GB. For that money you can buy a 1TB harddrive, send it by mail, and it will be faster still.
Yes, it does. But the classical universe emerges because sub-systems of the wave function become classically correlated as a result of entanglements [1]. These entanglements are what define the arrow of time in the (or perhaps it would be more accurate to say "a" instead of "the" here) classical universe [2]. Information about the past is the classical correlations that arise from entanglements. Entanglements can only arise in (sub-)systems that were initially co-located, so relativity insures that these propagate only from the past into the future.

Ok I'll bite. What is the equivalent of redux-form in vue.js?
What's wrong with he? I think one can choose one or the other, and the author chose he. There's also the alternative of using he/she every time, but I think that would just be annoying.
That's annoying. I use F-Droid, and have all Google services removed from my Android phone. ZANavi for GPS, Firefox for browsing, and the Android mail client connected to an IMAP server for mail. Works fine.
I work in Operations, so unless it is a major security fix, I would never install anything on a day one/two/etc, but rather wait and see and after that install in the lab / pre-prod first...
How is inserting an item at the head of a linked list O(n)?
It's surprising that most languages will happily let you do this. Lots of C programs have 'FOO' and 'foo'; not so many will have 'Foo' as well but it's probably more common than you think.
Thinking of this as a caching problem, there need to be hyperlocal borrowing like at the level of apartment buildings or city blocks. The 6-unit apartment building I live in has a shared area in the basement—power tools, a shop vac, brewing equipment, knife sharpener, pentalobe screwdrivers, a weedwhacker, a multimeter, etc.) This complements the tool lending library (which my city has) which furnishes lower frequency needs. The hyperlocal thing is also a nice way to meet your neighbors (oh wow you also have a lot of pentalobe screwdrivers!) and share skills (I just learned how to fertilize houseplants).

For higher value items, I've been meaning to extend the above apartment-wide setup with a Google Doc inventory of things that people are willing to share, but want where participants want face-to-face confirmation, like loaning a camera or a mountain bike. I wish there were a way (a social institution moreso than a technical solution) to make quick contracts for borrowing things. I'm privileged enough to be able to replace minor things, but I am definitely relucatant to loan big things if I don't know if a friend can/would replace the thing if something bad happened on their watch. And no I don't want to rent them—I don't like the cognitive overhead of markets, and that's not the point.
My word choice of 'they' wasn't very clear but Western Union would have some access. However internet most likely isn't broadly available for those in poverty, so the recipient most likely doesn't have it. At least not reliably. Imagine having a currency you can't even use. Not very helpful. And then there's still the education part of learning how to use Bitcoin, securing your Bitcoins, and getting that currency accepted by others.
There has to be supervision. I am also a member of a local hackerspace, and there is no way around the fact that people will screw things up with the tools, and not take responsibility for the screw-up.

This means, there have to be 'Members' in the workshop, at all times. That is, you can't use the space if you haven't been checked out, and are under the guidance, of another member.

Then, when things screw up, the other member has the responsibility to report what happened, and you gotta fix it.

(It has surprised me, over the years of observing the rise of hackerspaces, that the social engineering aspect of the ethos hasn't solve this problem. But it is very interesting to see that the phenomenon of irresponsibility is global.)
Regardless of indifference or malicious, its still breathtakingly inhumane.
I assume you mean maintainer scripts here. If so we are already going in that direction: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Spec/DeclarativePackaging

For interactivity that should in principle be a solved problem with debconf, if it's not, we would like to hear what's lacking. If there is a problem with a particular package then a bug report would be appreciated.
As in "git pull", but you've changed a file in the boilerplate code, and have to merge changes.
Why would it half your ram and double your battery life? It's a re-implantation of google API's.
> "does it actually matter to an individual?"

Yes, and it's not just about population size, there are more important concerns, such as the safety and economic mobility of the individual.

Let me put it like this, would you rather live in your current nation state with the leadership you have, or under a world government run by a ruler like Duerte that openly promotes killing people (my apologies if you're currently living in a country like this).

> "For most people, they are stuck with the government they have no matter what"

Not really. People do move country when things get bad in their own one (for political and economic reasons), even when they don't have much money to do so. People even risk their lives to make such journeys.

> "They are already at the whims of leaders that can work harmoniously or for selfish ends that can better or worsen their lives with no recourse on their individual parts."

Not all countries are equally badly run. Some national governments look after their citizens better than others. I can list some examples if you like.

> "Europe is demonstrating that you can take a different route"

Europe isn't taking a different route. The EU is becoming increasingly centralised. The Eurozone is a step towards consolidating economic power in Brussels, there are talks of an EU Army, etc...

> "I would feel that is much more healthy than trying to erect universal laws upon every human on Earth."

In my opinion, the best compromise is universal rights rather than universal laws. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was organised by the UN is one example of this:

> For sure we can all agree that this encoding is irreversible

Isn't the loss of information, i.e. the breaking of quantum determinism, at the centre of the black hole information paradox [1]? It's a paradox because quantum determinism and reversibility imply information can never be destroyed.

But that's the analog system which is band limited, not the digital! The problem is poor analog components after the digital decode phase in this case. A time domain digital representation absolutely can represent a perfect square wave. (There are other waves it can't represent.) That's completely different from a digital encoding that causes ringing in the square wave.

This is awesome. At some point in the next five years I plan on taking a sabbatical and focusing almost exclusively on redoing my math education and moving deeper into advanced topics than I did as an undergraduate.

Is there anyone who has done something similar who might share some suggestions for success?
That is a very salient point. When isn't society being re-built, though?

More to the point, those 'golden days' still happen, and are not unique to any particular culture. There are plenty of neighborhoods in the world still yet where these things happen.
> How can Etherium ever work in practice at scale?

Aren't there a to of Bitcoin organizations with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through them? If these companies found a way to operate safely with manageable risk, through things like cold storage and encryption schemes, than how is it much different from Ethereum?

It's fun to say things like "code is law" and imagine everything happens within this self-contained bubble but this stuff still operates in the real world and there are risks and consequences for actions as well as real world security mechanisms regardless.
Now we're talking about documentation. You are correct, no code is conpletely self documenting. But that Quake code is very low level, the opposite of what I think the grandparent doesn't like (very high level abstract notation)
I worked on this as part of a project with US Fish and Wildlife in 2015 for bats! We were monitoring local populations to track the spread of White Nose syndrome. It wasn't in 3D, but we linked the audio data / classifications with lat/long points and plotted population estimates on maps.
more data IS needed. but some automation is indeed better than no automation. this has been settled time and time again. computers are more accurate, more precise, and don't get tired, sick, or drunk.
> The point of producing them on a ranch is to make poaching uneconomical

How does it achieve that goal tho? The price of raising an elephant on a farm is quite a bit and it takes forever. The price for a poacher is essentially zero.
Maybe you should share your opinion with Even You at the next conference you go to and see how he takes it. Writing Vue off like this is an insult to it's creator. Evan works really hard on maintaining and improving Vue for what probably amounts to pennies on the dollar when compared with the money Facebook pumps into react.

I'm not saying that you're wrong about Vue not being a "thought-leader" or whatever, just that you really should be more appreciative of developers who release awesome libraries under OSS licensing.

That said, being a "thought-leader" is not necessary in order to make a difference. Software has been, is, and always will be an iterative process. We build upon the shoulders of giants that came before us. We take the best ideas from our predecessors and combine them to create something new and, hopefully, better. Regardless of your opinion on the philosophical aspects of Vue, you have to give credit to its creator and its community.
On one hand there is much concern and awareness about the environment and our carbon footprint. Businesses globally are under pressure to become greener. Individuals are trying to do their bit. There is activism and global concern.

On the other hand bitcoin and other crypto currencies continue to encourage millions to waste power for no useful reason beyond speculation without a care in the world, and without being called out on it. Can future designers of crypto currencies consider the waste of power?

A lot of concern begins to look self serving and mere finger pointing at others if whenever there is self interest and potential gain at stake all concerns go flying out, things are allowed to coast below the surface and hand waved away.

Are business that adopt crypto going to be boycotted for encouraging the needless waste of power?
This reminds me of something I saw in a symbolic logic course in college.

Many Western kids struggled to produce a nice-looking existential quantifier (∃). I guess they instinctively thought of it as a mirrored "E" and found it rather awkward to draw from right to left.

Chinese kids, on the other hand, treated the symbol as if it was the Chinese radical 彐, which has an obvious stroke order: → ↓ → →. This resulted in a much better-looking symbol. (Strokes within a single Chinese character almost always go from left to right, even if the composition as a whole goes in a different direction.)

I'm Korean, so I just drew a 크, which has the same stroke order as above.
Because it's considered very rude by normal people.

For a hypothetical example:

I've spent a day for your interview. I aced it. I was told there is somebody better. I was then asked to waste more time in form or feedback.

Same goes for references. In fact, from a real life example:

My company needed an entry level technical writer. I referred them this kid with a fresh comp sci degree, eager for a job. Reviewing code: yay, he thought he made it. Got turned down because they wanted only a rockstar entry level, technical writer. Then chose to not get one.

So, given everything, because I'm a polite person, I'd rather not answer than tell them they are delusional and rude.
The answer: 1.6 gigs.
It's funny: I'm not even a web developer by trade, and perhaps precisely because of that fact, every other day at least I have a conversation with a colleague that goes something like, "Wouldn't it be great if there were Swing for browsers?" The idea of pre-styled and easily laid-out widgets holds a great deal of appeal. Vue and Bootstrap come close to giving me that, but not quite.
- HEADLINE: An install-time option to set up a barebones WM

- DESCRIPTION: The installer should offer an option to install a simple WM, like i3 or awesomewm, in the way that there is an option in the minimal installer to install a DE like Xfce or GNOME. Bonus points if you make it aesthetically pleasing to some extent.

- HEADLINE: Kernels in repo which do more than the mainline/default kernel

- DESCRIPTION: I'm thinking of specifically of the patches by Con Kolivas, but any other useful pre-compiled kernels being available in the repo would be great, it would save me having to figure it out by myself and I'm sure there are many who would welcome the availability of pre-patched kernels, better i/o schedulers etc

- HEADLINE: Look into more optimisation (like Solus)

- DESCRIPTION: Solus (www.solus-project.com) does some optimisation on their distro that would be a good-to-have in any other distro

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Infrastructure programmer for multinational corp
Frankly, I don't know -- hence the landing page.

I have an ultra-specific use-case that I describe in detail here https://yazin.org/experiments/lose-100g-a-day/ (essentially, I use it to track calories). Google Form's web interface gets tiresome when you have to use it 10+ times a day, so I wanted something quick and that works offline (I've had to resubmit that damn form countless times).
> Blockchain currency advocates like to claim that the law doesn't apply to them.

Example? Or do you just mean like every financial organization ever (even beyond Wall St) that pushes back on regulatory oversight?

Attempting to regulate Ethereum with human gatekeepers sounds ridiculous to me, especially at this point, and entirely defeats the purpose of the whole system.

These people who put money into that DAO fully knew the risks of what they were doing. And none of them are calling for centralized oversight from the US gov as a result. So I'm not sure who this would be protecting or helping.

That would be a nice feature for HN. I'm willing to indulge Butterick's idiosyncrasy (well, in the sense that I'm fine with the copy-paste rigmarole... I haven't actually purchased any of his books yet) because it's a creative genuine effort to do something besides obnoxious ad networks.
My psychological problem is that the market is so cut throat these days a lot of used items are barely listed at a discount. So it's too easy for me to justify buying new for 10% more to get "official" assurances.

On the other hand I've been buying only refurbished electronics for a couple years now and have had no problems.

Don't forget about others, such as Preact [1]

To anyone considering starting a business I would recommend reading a book called "The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael Gerber. It's 20 years old, but it discusses one point in particular which I think is particularly relevant for HN's audience. Many people who go into business fail because they operate the business with the mindset of a "technician" -- someone who is very good at a particular skill, and enjoys and prioritizes performing that skill.

The abilities of a technician can be very valuable to a business, but especially as it begins to scale the owner/operator(s) need to adopt different mindsets in order to succeed. In short, if you don't like the idea of spending most of your time on business or marketing stuff, you should find someone who can handle those, or perhaps be a solo consultant/contractor. (I think this is a large part of why YC encourages cofounders so much.)

Exceptions certainly exist--there was a time when tech was a magical world and you could do magic things just by being an expert engineer--but increasingly I feel they are getting rarer.
I used to work as an iOS engineer at LEGO. They're a phenomenally professional company who consistently pushes innovation in-house. I'd be shocked to see them react negatively to this.

That's part of it, but part of it is also that our communities are physically structured very differently. My parents have lived in the same neighborhood fifteen years and don't really know any of their neighbors. Their neighborhood is a modern cul-de-sac of McMansions designed to make it easy to ignore the people around you. In contrast, my wife and I moved into a pre-car era neighborhood just six months ago. We already know a ton of neighbors. It's hard not to meet them when every house has a porch and sits on a lot 1/5 the minimum lot size in the county.

Are there technical reasons why electron won over WebKit
That, on the other hand, can encourage people to be careless in what they do. It's not their own equipment, they don't pay for it, so why worry about whether it will break? Someone else will have to fix it.
