did we watch the same E3? When did an emphasis on diversity become an "extreme left" viewpoint? Why are you feeling threatened by efforts to undo some of the marginalization of URM in popular media? I don't understand why video game enthusiasts like yourself feel like they're being threatened by more women and minorities in your games - there's still plenty of white male characters and it's not a attack on your identity but more of a fairer redistribution of representation. believe it or not, it's not just nerdy white males who play video games nowadays.
It affects code generated by the OCaml native compiler, which includes the OCaml compiler itself since it is written in OCaml. See also: https://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=7452

It also affects code generated by GCC, but apparently GCC is less likely to generate code sequences which trigger the CPU bug.
> To me, crying about the lack of conservatism is just code [...]

For some, sure. But there are those of us who are not conservatives who share the view that conservatives have been subject to ubiquitous censorship.

I'm an anarchist, and honestly share about as much with the left as the right ideologically. The behavior of the left today sickens me, though. Even after the election of Trump - who himself is not traditionally "conservative" - has not seemed to have changed the way the left sees the right. The right is not a racist, homophobic, misogynist minority. They are a majority (albeit a slim one), and their views are both less extreme and far more commonly held than seems to be believed by the left.

Yeah I've had great experiences with them every time. Felt just like flying a full service airline except with way lower fares.

I was on their first flight from NYC to Paris and they even had a mini celebration free "buffet" with snacks and gave out business class seats to the first ~ten people to have booked their seat on that flight!

There are distinct sound differences, although they may be less obvious to a layman, the same way functional programming vs OOP would just "look like code" to someone who was not a developer.

For example, Fenders, especially models like the Telecaster, have a "twangier", more treble-forward tone (they're used a lot in country music), where as a Gibson model, say the SG, would have a "meatier" more bass-forward tone and generally longer sustain (used more in rock, e.g., AC/DC is a good example).
Nothing was said about Obamacare. I mentioned Obama initiated and continued these policies.
There is a lot of pressure on women to have children, though, and having kids drastically changes how, when, and with whom you socialize.

To elaborate, in case you don't have kids: for the first several months, you're likely exhausted and don't even want to socialize. If you do, you're still limited due to time - young children just sleep and eat, and you're bound to their schedule. If you're exclusively breastfeeding, you can't drive an hour out to see a two hour movie with your friends, because your kiddo's feed is going to fall within that timespan.

Once they get older, you can go out again, but you're not going to necessarily be doing the same things you wanted to earlier. Being woken up hungover by a screaming baby at 5am is terrible, so you're going to cut down your social drinking. Going camping on the weekend is more difficult, too - you're leaving your partner in the lurch. Spur of the moment plans are difficult, too - you're still tied to your kid's schedule, and there are places where it is difficult to take a small child. ("You wanna go rock climbing?" "Yes, but...")

I think your post makes a lot of assumptions. I do not believe scale to be a reason not to use an ORM. If you pay attention to what you're doing you can scale a system that uses an ORM just fine.

The orm is usually not the problem, it's usually that people don't know what they are doing and introduce serious performance issues.

The author claims

> And for some purposes, an ellipsis is not just a convenience, it's a necessity. For instance, "1, 2, 3, ..., n" represents all the integers from 1 to n, where n is some unspecified positive integer; there's no way to write that without an ellipsis.

This claim is wrong. Let n be a positive integer. If one wants to denote the set of integers between 1 and n, then one can do so by just formally writing what one wants: {k in Integers | 1 <= k <= n}. If one wants the (ordered) list of integers between 1 and n, then one can write (k)_{k=1}^n.

Agreed. I moved from a right wing echo chamber (Boone County, AR) to a left wing echo chamber (Charlottesville, VA) about four years ago. Neither of those communities are currently able to even begin to understand the other.
Well from NYC, both of the airlines fly out of LGA and Spirit also out of Newark, but I've never, never seen fares anything that are better than the other carriers that I get through Kayak or other sites. Never.

NYC SFO July 11 to 20 RT is about $330 to $350 on Spirit, Frontier, and Kayak (with better carriers).

They are not comparable to EasyJet and Ryan Air which does offer substantially lower fares.
It was acknowledged, and documented in a errata bulletin, but not communicated back to the reporter. Assuming that it had not already been reported, discovered internally, or reported by another source.

> It lets you do anything, including create, remove, read, update both objects and buckets. You can also change permissions on the buckets using the bucket policies.

So if you don't want that, don't write it? I don't see how AWS forces anyone to make that infrastructure decision in any specific case. And its not default. You have to go out of your way to do that.

> Because they do kind of use the same security process - IAM permissions. And not just DBs and S3 - all of AWS uses IAM in some way or another. But it's all just different enough to make it damned hard to create any kind of standard.

So? The standard is running your own services and using any of the standard networking options. They are handling provisioning and networking so naturally they need an abstraction for security of network clients they are connecting for you.

> Some permissions can be fine tuned, some can not. Some can rely on conditionals, some can not. Some can be overridden at the object level, some can not. Some use roles, some users, some policies.

So? permissions, conditionals, asset policies aren't new or complicated and well within what you'd deal with in any tech stack in existence. Same goes for roles, policies, and users... Do those abstractions really seem that complicated? And in which stack do they not exist?

> Understanding the differences - what works when - is what makes it all so hard to understand. And when it changes, all that knowledge is useless (or worse, dangerously incomplete) again.

Thats fine, but arguably not better than any other service provider. You could also say those things about any software service out there - especially if its intended for consumption by engineers. Documenting APIs isn't a solved problem for anyone.

I'd advocate most people avoid this if their intention is to write an app. As an alternative, I'd suggest evaluating create-react-app [0] or preact-cli [1] if you're looking for something lighter. The lack of testing setup and module support in this kit feels like a regression, although I'll concede that it really depends on your use-case.

I've been using webpack [2] for a few years and wouldn't willingly go back to this style of writing web apps. Once you learn how to use it, the world is your oyster. You can write a loader or plugin to achieve pretty much any kind of requirement that comes your way.

Consider replacing sass with cssnext [3], or even directly using postcss along with the few plugins you need. As an example, you can use native css variables during development and compile em away for production. Another great addition is the :matches selector, which makes for much cleaner selectors in certain cases. I never really found much value in most other sass features.

Instead of running imagemin as part of your build process, consider installing imagemin-cli [4] and applying optimizations before checking in images. That way it only has to done once, regardless of how many times someone checks-out your repo.

Even if you enable ES2015 compilation with babel, you don't get any polyfills. That means trying to use standard ES2015 globals like Map, Set, or Promise will not work on older browsers. If you're gonna tell people they can add ES2015 support by changing a single line, it would seem prudent to mention this gotcha.

This a hugely important topic that also extends to everyday access in very rural areas. It makes no money so isn't of interest at a corporate level.

We made an initial exploration of a concept revolving around, excuse the pun, the idea of an orbiting fixed wing drone tethered to a ground based car battery. Ideally you could take advantage of some dynamic soaring to reduce energy consumption. The wireless solution would be a simple peer to peer network or such drones running unlicensed spectrum.

Sure. Some while ago I had an idea for a project and Dart sounded good. I did what I sometimes do with a tech I am thinking about trying: I checked out a few message boards a couple of times a week, and subscribed to reddit's subgroup. At least at that time there was not much activity and not long after Google cancelled the in-browser aspect. It started to seem to me that the up-talk also died away.

I, who do not know much about this thing for sure but I do know that Google will walk away from things, got the impression that is what was happening.

Not fair, maybe, but that's the answer to the question that you asked.
> couldn't deliver even a limited version of the game.

They have but the limitation is that the game is barely playable on populated servers. 3.0 (the next release) seems to be a push to make the game playable.

Ask HN: Are you programming server-side web apps without a framework?
Web frameworks for server-side development are very popular - so much so that it's more unusual to hear of apps and services that don't rely on a framework. By web framework, I mean frameworks like Django, Flask, Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, Symfony, Laravel, etc.

Are you doing web development but without a web framework? If so, what were your reasons for foregoing a framework? How have you found the process of going framework-free?
Who will suffer are backers who supported this project.
Care to qualify that?

I'm not following this at all, but I can't see anything particularly obvious that's a 'train wreck'.

They have a game. It's playable, if not particularly good. Some people are playing it (or something? Someone is posting gameplay videos anyway).

I have zero investment in it so I don't really get it; I see a lot of unhappy people making :( faces.

Games take time and money to make. They're making it. It's not done yet. They're keeping in touch with people and releasing regular updates.

I mean, what do you want them to do? Not make it? Make it faster? Communicate more? Communicate differently?

That's really good compared to some crowd funding people... isn't it?

...? Where's the drama?
So you mean "does reality depend on the viewers?"?

That our social constructs somehow have a bearing on what is actually real?
>"Norwegian borrowed the same play book Michael O'Leary (of Ryanair) used ~6 years earlier: putting in a big, bold order for new Boeing aircraft just as the aviation market was tanking (due to 9/11 in O'Leary's case and the GFC in Norwegian's)."

This doesn't sound quite right. Starting an airline is not a trivial undertaking, certainly not something you could hope to complete during a temporary downturn or use "market timing" like you would with equities.

Norwegian along with most other budget carriers leases their planes. This gives them certain advantages. This model allows them to always be taking advantage of most fuel efficient planes and phase out less efficient parts of their fleet much quicker[1]. Also the lessor absorbs much of the maintenance costs on the leased planes where's bigger companies that buy fleet outright have to assume that costs themselves often with union labor.

In fact Norwegian is also now in the business of leasing planes to other budgets carriers[2].

Eh, I believe that to some extent. Someone decided that Black Sabbath would be more popular than The Pixies. But I don't think anyone decided that shared style of music would become popular: that was a function of sentiment at the time.

From the perspective of a hypothetical overlord, controlling what people want costs money. It's cheaper to predict what people want and sell them that. Of course if you predict wrong, you have to exert some control to make sure you recoup your investment. But music isn't an industry where you have to manufacture demand, so it's cheaper not to.
And the gradual rise of the keytar!
I don't agree. The consolidation of major carriers under Obama administration (United buying Continental, and American buying US Air) has reduced competition and thus higher fares, worse service.

They don't fly out of regional airports at least in NYC I think that is rare.

I"ll bet there are a lot of operational issues.

Delta, United and others own low-cost carriers (the famous United case where the senior was dragged off the plane screaming and kicking was not on United but a low cost fully owned subsidiary carrier of United) as it is, so they could have a low-cost carrier that travels to Europe. These low-cost wholly owned carriers are domestic only.

But none of them have them because they want to cannibalize the higher fares charged. They enjoy their margins.

Norwegian (like Amazon, like Uber) is in a contest to capture market share and thus may be willing to operate on thin margins or even take a short term loss to capture share. The major American carriers may not want to invest the money to retain share and prefer to use politics instead.
Writing a Linux Debugger
Instruments decline in popularity. It happens to everything. I play several instruments of rather low popularity: Highland Bagpipes, tin whistle, bodhran, and pipe & tabor. The last (pipe & tabor) is a medieval instrument pair of a three-holed pipe played in the left hand and a small snare drum hung from the left arm and played with the right hand. Its popularity died out several hundred years ago, yet some people still play and you can still buy them. The industry has shrunk a lot though.

WRT guitar I very much like acoustic fingerstyle, mostly the virtuosic type as played by Luca Stricagnoli, Michael Chapdelaine, Mike Dawes, and others. For electric I prefer Symphonic Metal or Folk Metal (Epica, Eluveite, etc).

I'd say there's plenty of room for electric guitar, it's a long way from being as obscure as the pipe & tabor, crumhorn, shawm, or theorbo!

I'm a millennial (well, Oregon trail generation, caught in the gap between gen X and millennials). My tastes are odd for my generation. Electric guitar isn't dying, it's just shrinking in popularity. Some electric guitar manufacturers will surely die though.
I went to a chiro for neck and shoulder pain regularly for a couple of months. I felt nominally better for a couple of hours after each session, but then the problem came right back. They also told me to stretch, which was obvious.

Took a trip to a doctor and got a useful diagnosis at the first visit. So I would say no, going to a chiro does not prove it to be more than complete BS. They stretched out my tight muscles/tendons which gave me minor temporary relief. Woohoo.

I disagree. GamerGate was the cause for the rise of right-wing social media power. Milo wasn't know outside those circles until after the controversy got the mainstream consciousness, and now he's a staple on all of the right-wing sites I frequent.

The idea that the largest gun forum on the internet would be regularly discussing posts by Milo and Gavin McInness would have been laughable before GamerGate. "Based Stickman", "Dave", etc. wouldn't exist if not for it.

From the perspective of the "new right", GamerGate was the first time a community does up against the cultural warfare of the left and won. It was the point where the left went from being counter-culture to being "the establishment". For the first time in generations, the social outcasts were conservatives, not liberals. It's now rebellious and cool to want to marry and start a traditional family. You can be booed off a stage for saying things like "the husband should provide for his family". The right has grabbed this and incorporated it into their identity; the left hasn't figured out yet that they've become what they thought they were fighting. They're the Man.

One of the biggest advantages are the short breaks. Sometimes they even don't turn off the turbines before they fly back. I am skeptical if Norwegian can copy all this to long distance.
Interesting since the officially sealed plastic coin-collector style enclosures themselves would be more easily detected by the cashier if compromised compared to the supposedly gold bullion they contain.

Obviating the need for the bullion to be more than just gold plated under most circumstances . . .

And making the seals and/or enclosures almost as valuable as their face value in actual gold, since they could be substituted for the real thing at any price level and follow the same pricing fluctuations.
