Because being an SPA adds tons of potential for bugs that normal sites don't have. Case in point, your demo:

- required changing my adblocker settings to work

- Breaks the back button on the first page by adding instead of replacing the start page on the history stack

- changing pages doesn't reset the scroll position - you jump to somewhere in the middle of the new page if you switch pages while scrolled down

All of these can be fixed, but a non-SPA wouldn't have any of them in the first place. More work for what benefit exactly?

(While I'm listing bugs, the top of the content scrollbar is cut off/hidden behind the top bar, but that's not SPA specific)
Don't worry, this is a pure climate alarmist. You can tell by this quote and others:

"But no matter how well-informed you are, you are surely not alarmed enough."

This person is literally saying we need to be alarmed.

I really didn't understand the part where they said methane has 34 times the greenhouse effect as carbon over a period of time and then changes the timeframe to bring the multiplier put to 84 times. To me it felt a lot like when congress talks about deficits over a decade - well actually they talk about reductions over a decade so it's times 10 and increases are just annual. Anyway, there is a difference between methane and CO2 but to try to make it sound worse by talking about time is just another alarmist tactic.

Regardless of your stance, this article is intended to be alarmist and even says so. IMHO it is not worthy of HN.

Straightforward integration with existing tooling was not a "mistake", it was a design point. There were plenty of competing runtimes even in the 80's that were better than C's linker model. C++ succeeded because it didn't create that friction.

Well, the rule is attributed to Niklaus Wirth, whose credits include Modula, Modula-2, Oberon, Oberon-2, and Oberon-7. The -* languages are extensions of their originals, so it seems his rule only applies within a single edition of the language. They can add new things, because they are new languages.

The justification, then, seems to be that if you legitimately need new features, then the language has failed and you should start over anyway. I think Python 3 is sort of an offshoot of this idea, except that many of the new features keep getting backported to 2.7 anyway.

Machine translation has a lot of research funding, and has had it for decades.

I'm not sure about USA, but it's been a major focus of very large EU grant programs due to the obvious multilinguality of EU and the explicit goal to move towards a single European market by reducing barriers in trade, including language barrier.

It also has many commercial use cases and thus has always had quite a lot of people and teams working on it compared to other fields of ML or NLP.

The problem is that it's hard. Every 0.1% of progress has historically required a lot of work.
To take nothing away from this gentleman and his accomplishments, but consider if this timeline seems plausible:

> I mean the trackpad issue is generally down to the manufacturer and the drivers they provide...

Was just wondering this myself. I tried a Surface Laptop this week, and its trackpad has everything I love from the 2012-era Mac trackpads. A satisfyingly snappy physical mouse click, gestures & acceleration, and a perfect size. (I can't stand Force Touch on the new MacBook Pro, and I don't like their new giant trackpads.)

That's kind of the issue with automation in general. Its funny to see the 'fuck you we're automating jobs/art/literally everything' coming from a subgroup of an industry that is apparently now cannibalizing itself through automation.

Of course you can make a very strong argument that they should have never hired techies for things so easily automated. I suspect we don't see this in the west because there is a tendency to simply automate from the outset due to the high cost of labor.
First off, the author is prodding people into action by scaring/alarming them. Thus, the entire point of this article is to highlight many of the bad long-tails (note I did not say WORST long tails, eg Clathrate Gun, or phytoplankton crash leading to global anoxia, because they almost instantly wipe out human life), which could give the impression we are more screwed than we are;

In other words, all of these happening is not a probable outcome (the article is not based on a statistical inference or climate model). However, as we climb up the \delta +C ladder, all of these effects/implications become increasingly probable. If you crank up \delta +C to +5C for instance, at least half if not all of these will occur (due to positive feedbacks eg albedo);

I would not say we are beyond the hope of any action at this point. There are two sub-sets of conventional actions being discussed in the context of official orgs, eg UNFCCC at the moment:

-Mitigation- reduce emissions directly,- eg turn off coal plants or plan to do so to dozens within the next few years, massively scale up solar adoption

-Adaptation- take actions now to reduce devastation from past [inertial] and unavoidable future emissions, e.g, invest in heat-proof seeds and crops for certain tropical biomes

Broadly, both are still possible. The former is notably more susceptible to political landmines and fossil fuel monopoly blocking than the latter, so a lot of climate scientists are urging folks to focus on the latter. Is it enough to save us? In terms of physics and climate systems--no, but metaphorically it could reduce pain like palliative care for the swathes of humanity, largely from tropical regions, who probably wont make it. The real heartbreaker here: mitigation is crucial to avoiding all the evil long-tails, but our poltical and economic systems seem allergic to it. How about just a little mitigation- eg lukewarm Paris implementation-- do we still miss some of the worst evils? Very unclear-- now we need to consult the statistical physicists.

There's a third bin too which I would call pure engineering solutions; These could involve for instance, building plants to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere [1], seeding the oceans with certain chemicals to increase Co2 oceanic uptake [2], or straight up engineering the atmosphere [3]. I listed those in increasing order of possible risk/backfiring (complexity of the climate engineering operation).

I invite anyone to clarify or add to which they think are feasible and infeasible amongst these; I listed this all for context, and not to advance a particular legal, moral, or political argument, although clearly there are a litany to be made.

> What does personal responsibility have to do with fetal alcohol syndrome or kids raised badly?

Both are the result of negligence of their parents. It may not be pleasant to lump that together under personal responsibility but that's the root of the problem and addressing it is the real solution.

A mother that drinks alcohol while pregnant is at fault for the harm that comes to her child. It's not society's fault, it's hers and indirectly her spouse's fault for allowing that to happen.

> And how can you believe in personal responsibly when public health can change so drastically in response to policy changes?

The fundamental disagreement is that I believe people are capable of good on their own and should not be baby sat by a nanny state. I'm willing to accept some of the adverse consequences of people making their own choices in exchange for the freedom and quality of life it brings.

What I'm saying is that a company that hires remotely very likely won't have issues hiring, because they haven't arbitrarily decided that what they do requires everyone to be in the same office.

If you're trying to hire for a place people don't want to work in or if you're having issues with skill levels of new hires, the solution is to widen the net: Not in terms of skill ranges, but in terms of geography.

Not everyone wants to work remotely and that's fine. Especially considering that for the vast majority of people, there is someone better than them out there that desperately wants remote work.

Looked into this a bit more. The GTX 1080 is based on the Pascal architecture and so will be faster than any Kepler-based K80 on any cloud - even faster than a K80 card with 2 GPUs. The GTX is a consumer board and is less expensive than the datacenter equivalent P100 PCIe card. The P100 has 16 GB ram and HBM2 memory (twice the memory and more than twice the memory bandwidth) and supports ECC if you care about detecting memory corruption. The P100 will be faster than the GTX 1080 once it is available. As I said before,
GCP offers K80 GPUs in passthrough mode and you can use a single K80 die ($0.70 / hour billed by the minute) or you can attach up to 8 K80 GPUs to a single VM. Disclaimer: I am a product manager for GPUs in Google Cloud.

Specifically my food problem in Mississauga was that lunch sucked. You had to drive at least five minutes from my office to get anywhere, and then it was just fast food. Maybe go a bit further to streetsville, get something a bit better. It was just corporate mid rises and suburbs everywhere else!

In Toronto, I am walking distance from everything after work, plus the subway to get me home. Port Credit may be cool, but it can't compete with that. Also, as you said that's south of Mississauga- again, we're going to have to drive everywhere.

That's just not there lifestyle I want, and very few in my office did- which was why we pushed so hard for a downtown office instead.

I'm German. I would strongly advise to talk to a lawyer in this situation. Lawyers are very affordable, especially if you just want to check to make sure the law is on your side.

I'd just look for a lawyer specializing in employment contracts and pay for a <1hr visit to ask them their opinion on the situation. They can also tell you whether it's worth pursuing legally but the most important thing is that you'll know better next time and be able to say "No, you can't do that, you have to pay me for X weeks" if that's what the lawyer says is your right.

EDIT: Having a lawyer is handy if you need to sue someone but the real value comes from knowing with confidence when you're right and when you're not. This defends you against FUD, which can be powerful.

I still use a Freerunner (the successor to the Neo1973) as my only 'phone.

The GTK-based om2007 it came with was a joke, and had already been ditched for EFL (Enlightenment) in om2008 when it arrived. The EFL UI got the job done, but all of the actual 'phone applications (contacts, SMS, calls, etc.) came from QtMobile (QtExtended), so I ended up installing QtMoko (Debian + QtMobile) and have been using it like that for years.

Some annoyances I've had:

- The mic volume inexplicably getting set really low; I seem to remember fixing it via alsa.conf

- WPA WiFi doesn't seem to work in the GUI; running wicd-curses in a console is fine

- Can't manage to get audio out of a bluetooth headset

- The excellent predictive keyboard was ditched in an OS update in favour of a clunky non-predictive one. Apparently this was due to prediction only working well for English; as an Englishman, I was fine with that, but haven't been able to reinstate the old one :(

I believe that's the case at this time. However, we do have many remote employees, and it's likely that we'll list other remote positions in the future. Also, I can't give specifics or make promises as I am not involved in hiring, but there might be a possibility that remote would be allowed for the right candidate, even on a position that isn't listed as such. I don't think there would be any harm in applying for a position not explicitly listed as remote.

Go's compilation times are fast, but it also took a significant dive in 1.5, when they rewrote the compiler in Go.

They're slowly improving it to return to pre-1.5 performance, but last I checked, it wasn't there yet. The impact is insignificant on small projects, of course, but easily felt on larger (100Kloc+) ones.

While the recent optimizer improvements are great, my wish is for Go to switch to an architecture that uses LLVM as the backend, in order to leverage that project's considerable optimizer and code generator work. I don't know if this would be possible while at the same time retaining the current compilation speed, however.

Spotify's response could be a classic non-denial denial.

For this to be true: some third party created them on behalf of Spotify.

>“We pay royalties -- sound and publishing -- for all tracks on Spotify, and for everything we playlist.

FTTBT: they pay the third party a non-zero sum (normal rates??)

>"We do not own rights, we’re not a label, all our music is licensed from rightsholders and we pay them -- we don’t pay ourselves."

FTTBT: third party frontman "owns the rights", duuh

If they were "manufactured on demand", I would agree. You'd pay more or less depending on your needs. As it is today, each product you can get off the shelf is being manufactured in millions of copies, and is a part of purchasing environment. It affects the market for everyone, and its production affects the environment.

I'm of belief that tools barely suited to their function are a waste of materials, energy and production effort - and therefore should not exist. Worse than that, they also provide a price floor on the whole category. You get two categories of items - "crap" items, for which price is pushed down to minimum, and "premium" items, for which the price can stay higher, because customers going for them are not price-sensitive.

I currently believe (though this is not a very strong belief) that if we could somehow raise the floor of minimum acceptable product quality, we'd have much less waste, and the better items would be cheaper than they're now (supply and demand, after all).
That's fine, but if the roles were reversed, there would be the same outrage, if not more, and it's not petty. It's serious business.
Depending where you are and the state of the roads at that time, port credit could be an hours (or more) drive away. Some way to spend your lunch break!

I don't know, but sending audio over a network sounds like the sort of use case that requires a sound server. Playing sound locally doesn't. Although, as I said elsewhere, I have mpd stream to icecast for playing my audio remotely so, in my case, I don't need pulseaudio for this: I imagine you could configure a similar setup where anyone on the local network can register with icecast as a "radio station" znd stream sound that way.
