> ...jQuery it’s still a thing... for example a grid with a subgrid that supports bootstrap and is easy to change...

No way. Angular made me leave jQuery forever. React made it even simpler to create components. People should still learn jQuery and its internals because of its simplistic (api) interface and internal code.

I like Vue too, because its so easy to develop a lot in a few hours. But as code grows and complexity grows - Vue loses its simplicity and I end up migrating to React.

EDIT: Reading the article it feels like they lack expertise in both JS and CSS (and Thinking in React way pushed them over the edge)
Just in case you are not joking and for anyone not familiar with the terminology: Physics, and a lot of the hard sciences, are often broadly divided into "theoretical" and "experimental" halves. Experimental physicists design and run experiments, i.e. they "get their hands dirty", or at least the hands of their graduate students and post-doctorates. Their end goal is to find some actual fact about the actual universe, usually a quantified measurement. Theoretical physicists, on the other hand, create theories: mathematical and conceptual models that hopefully explain how or why the universe is the way it is. Ideally, the created theory not only explains the measurements that the experimental physicist has already observed, but also predicts the results of new measurements not yet observed.

No it is the same. They cannot occupy the same space unless there are dedicated lanes. I guess even then it is single occupancy. A bicycle is a single space same as a car with only a driver. I wish I had the link now, sorry.

Hasn't actually happened, no. The closest thing was some deal between YouTube and MetroPCS, though competing streaming services didn't have the technology required implemented and MetroPCS said they would add other sercices once that happened.

I'm very shaky on the details there, so don't take my word for it.
It saddens me to see HN jump on the bandwagon of an anti-free-market campaign such as this. Words such as "battle" and "fight" have no place when coming up with solutions to problems in a market economy. I know government and its history of cronyism are a big part of the problem, but to think that more regulation will make everything better is woefully misguided. How did it come to pass that there's so little trust and understanding in the system of voluntary, peaceful, free trade that has produced virtually all of the wealth we see around us? Sure there are tons of problems, but I'm sure you'll agree that they pale in comparison to those of state-run economies.

The mistrust of large corporations is definitely warranted. McDonald's doesn't give a rat's ass about your health as long as you're healthy and happy enough keep coming back. And the reason why people come back is because McDonald's knows they have options; enough so that we all have it pretty good dietary-wise. Consumers and suppliers don't need to organize protests and boycotts of fast-food chains. Likewise, I don't think the major ISPs give a rat's ass about our choice/speed of content, so long as we're happy enough to not jump to another provider. As with food vendors, more choice, not more regulation, is the answer. The market should determine what it wants; not bureaucrats under the influence of large corporations.

We Support Net Neutrality. Still
The Internet of the 90's I remember was a small, local ISP that basically gave me creds to a unix system. I had access to ftp, telnet, usenet, web, email, etc. I knew the people working there and could drive over and have lunch with them. They were eager to share how it all worked. As long as you didn't (regularly) go over your storage quota, you were good.

This is the neutral net that I recall and so wish I still had.

I think we're all making slightly different points. OP said "We will end our reliance on fossil fuels ... by developing green energy tech that is simply more efficient and cost effective than fossil fuels. Once this happens the transition away from carbon based energy sources will be swift."

You replied pointing out that electricity and transportation are not the only sources of emissions -- not sure if it was intended as a rebuttal because OP didn't say they were. I noted that electrical heating can generally substitute fossil heating, that the developed world isn't undergoing deforestation, and that agriculture is a much smaller source of developed-world emissions compared with fossil combustion. Neither I nor OP said or implied that "just inventing our way to replace the current grid with green sources is sufficient for meeting the climate budget."

We're obviously going to blow past the "safe" 2-degree-rise-by-end-of-century cumulative emissions target. In the long term, if complex civilizations survive, I expect large scale atmospheric carbon removal efforts (enhanced silicate weathering and similar). Otherwise feedback processes and anthropogenic emissions apart from fossil combustion are probably going to amplify ~4 degrees of end-of-century warming to more like 7-9 degrees of warming by end-of-millennium. After that it'd take ~100k years to restore the pre-industrial atmospheric CO2 concentration status quo by natural sinking mechanisms alone.
That Vue component, from a glance, seems less readable, more complex, and more stateful than the given (poorly written) React component. And none of the arguments against React really make sense to me (ES6 is not complicated, JSX is light syntactic sugar, and you probably don't need FLUX to start...).

It seems like the _main_ problem they were having was that they were trying to graft React onto an environment based on jQuery and then realized that it made things complicated. That's not a knock against React, that's just shooting yourself in the foot and blaming the gun.

This is so confusing. What's that? A replacement, an addition? Will this clutter up my photos?
It's like an invitation to: Try it out to find out what it really does and if it clutters up your photo stream... deal with it.

Update: oh the blog actually writes it is an replacement. Great... now I don't know if this works in any way with Insync in parallel :(
What Russian Journalists Think of How American Reporters Cover Putin and Trump

"What do you mean by "give up his rights"? Whether he can allow other people to use the patented idea?"

My understanding is that someone needs to hold a patent, be it a non-profit or commercial entity. What I wonder is if someone who could file a patent or already holds a patent for an idea could put this idea into the public domain without anybody holding a patent? Does this make sense?
No ISP is abusing net neutrality yet (to my knowledge), so they haven't had the opportunity. Also, as others have said, that worsens the problem and makes the Internet less neutral.
Which one? Hated in the Nation? The Waldo Moment? I think that both of those kind of argue that digital network systems can't exist alongside traditional governance without overtaking them. I'm talking about trying to integrate the two to prevent those kind of dystopian outcomes. Although with the advent of a figure like Trump, our "Waldo Moment" might have already come.

I was a little confused at first. As the announcement says, this is a complete replacement for the existing Drive app. No idea why they thought it was a good idea to rename it (and to use the same name for a separate application for Photos...).

I ran the install, and it appears that the main difference (other than UI) is that you can easily add other folders from your computer to your Drive now.

> As much as I hate on the protocol, the Layer 1 spec is truly ahead of it's time, in some areas. Watching two radios frequency hop, and negotiate to avoid a congested wifi channel was unreal.

What are you using to watch Bluetooth at a low level?

My Magic Mouse at work would get very jerky with my Mac Pro. Resetting it would sometimes clear it up for a while. I swapped it with my Magic Trackpad from home, and the mouse is fine at home, and the trackpad now has the jerkiness although not as much as the mouse did.

I tried moving the Mac up on to the top of the desk so the mouse/trackpad is only a few feet away, and has line of site instead of having a metal desk between it an the computer, but that made no difference.

I'm speculating that it is some kind of interference from the office downstairs. (It's an office of Azima DLI, which develops all kinds of stuff that might be noisy in RF).

I'd like to be able to take a look at what is actually going on in my office (1) with RF in general, and (2) specifically between my Mac and my trackpad or mouse.

I thought this might be an excuse to step up from one of those $15 SDR dongles I've played around with to a HackRF, but from what I've read the HackRF cannot fully deal with the Bluetooth frequency hopping. I think I read that using multiple HackRFs one can do it, but that's beyond what I want to spend.
There's critique (and I have lots towards both C and C++ but nothing fits my hobby better and all libs I like are in it and I know them the best so..) and there's just being downright stupid and insulting("stars aligning to write C", "humanly impossible to write C++", etc.).

In any case Rust is still solidly on my list of things to learn to become a T-shaped person with lots of insight from different angles but it's annoying to even be unable to skim through comments without seeing garbage, this doesn't happen that often, even the Java, C#, C, C++ quartet stopped going at each other's throats online a long long time ago and it's just skirmishes now and not a constant onslaught.
Yeah go to your email yo have a conversation about a forum, you know, the place where a conversation occurs. You truly are a fucking cunt!
The deal breaker for me is the unwillingness to rename outdated identifiers: `car` instead of `first` or `head` and `cdr` instead of `rest` or `tail`; the use of asterisks to show that a function differs in semantics (`let` versus `let*`); and the verbosity of using anything other than a pure list.

If I had to use a Lisp-like language, I'd choose Clojure so I can interoperate with the JVM. (I use Scala already, so I could interoperate with that, too.)

> this proposal is antithetical to the concept of network neutrality

Exactly the point I'm trying to make. If Google turns around and says "Fine, you don't like net neutrality? Let me show you how this works both ways".

The ISPs do not make the product, they sell the access to the product. If the product goes away, then they aren't selling anything at all- and their customers will stop paying them.

That happened to me the first time I checked the option to sync my Drive photos to Google Photos a couple of years ago. I had random work and school related graphics and photos jammed into my Photos library for a looooong time (and there was no "undo").
Sure, but it's a rather high price for just faster storage.

And like… 2 TB of cache is a bit high for SOHO NAS, and if you go full SSD for storage, you'd want two of them for a mirror and that's 1000 USD already…

No, we should not. Numbers should be different in every era IMHO.

I really started to take life and society a lot less seriously after I read The Illuminatus! Trilogy when I was a young teenager. It seemed to break through my mental barriers a lot better than any other book. It reads kind of like an acid trip, wandering around from the headspace of one character to another character throughout time and space, sometimes mid-sentence, but over the course of the book it tells an entertaining romp chock full of conspiracies.

More recently I've been reading through Antifragile: Things that Gain From Disorder by Nassim Taleb, and while I'm not completely on board with everything he said (his assertions that academia contributed virtually nothing to the development of the computer rang particularly false to me, so some of his other assertions are similarly suspect), it is forcing me to think of how I can live my life in a way that is less susceptible to things outside of my control.

For example, I've been following cryptocurrencies quite a bit and have some 'skin in the game' there, and that field does seem to require some 'antifragile' thinking in order to weather its volatility.

The book seems to be particularly good if you want to get more into the entrepreneurial or creative mindset.

I can't believe what an awesome idea this is.

Lately I've been saying I wish my Facebook friends followed Hacker News guidelines, Facebook would improve 1000% for me.

This cuts out the middle man.
I think there is a misunderstanding related to the terms here:

1. IIRC my router is supposed to switch channel (i.e. frequency) automatically unless I explicitly set it to a fixed channel.

I don't know how but my devices figures out and continues working.

2. I think the misunderstanding is related to the word frequency hopping or whatever was used further up in the discussion.

I normally take "frequency hopping" to mean changing frequncy multiple times a minute or even faster while I doubt my wireless access point will switch channels more than a few times in 24 hours.

Disclaimer: I never really sat down and verified if it ever changed.

Also agree with logicalle that I wish for a bit more civility.
At least in Ontario, Canada you have as much time as you need to make forward progress once you legally enter the intersection. Or something like that. But the light is there to indicate it is allowed to enter, not how long you have.

It probably massively increases average time on site and average videos viewed, and thus ad revenue.
The measure by itself is not sufficient. Which is why all the additional analysis was needed.

1. Using the current district map the last set of elections show that Wisconsin had a large gap.

2. Compared to other state's the gap is an outlier.

3. By creating a large number of alternate maps within the state satisfying all the other requirements that gap was still an outlier.

4. Calculating the gap under different voting outcomes showed the result to be robust even under a 5 point swing to the democrates. (This is where the discontinuity would show up if there results were not robust.)
I'd be happy to discuss an example, because right now the idea that smart pointers are opaque about destruction is unfortunately too abstract for me to give a helpful reply to.
I've always been interested in how this model would play out.
I guess the service would be a lot more favored by the employees than the employers.
It should really look for ways to genuinely benefit the employers as well by becoming an honest feedback channel rather than a source of company's leaked information for the tech media.
Perhaps "true hybrid" == RAM->SSD->HDD->tape, that is, warm-through-cold storage?

Whatever.

What would be really nice is raw SSD/storage access so that ZFS (or other FS) could manage all the wear leveling and bad block mappings.

There is no free-market! ISPs practically have a monopoly! I have 2 choices for Internet access where I live. Comcast and AT&T. They compete all right, compete on who can out screw their customers the most.

Exchange transaction fees might be one thing (cut out the middle man) but if you buy directly from a miner it won't influence the price as it would if you buy on a public exchange.

If you buy a big amount this is significant.

Such OTC (over the counter) transactions are also anonymous compared to exchange buys.
Yes, absolutely. But that didn't work on some older browsers (like MSIE7 and earlier), so some sites settled on weird "solutions" like this one...
If "Synced to Dropbox" is all you do you may be only one inadvertent mouse drag or clip command away from deleting some photos.

Yes, you can recover deleted files in Dropbox but to do that, you must know you deleted something, and then, what you deleted, or you must periodically check for deletions in the Dropbox UI.

Also, Dropbox probably will happily sync files that were written with bit errors on your hard disk.

Acceptable risk? I think so, but it means accepting some decent risk of losing photos.

My point is that many people likely would be happier if they spent, say, two evenings a year watching past photos together with their loved ones than when they spend that time making (more) sure their collection stays perfect (and at thousands of photos a year, two evenings is _nothing_ if you want to make sure your archive is bit-for-bit safely stored and properly indexed so that it is reasonably easy to find photos on demand)
LDAP and Active Directory in PostgreSQL
I'm not understanding the distinction from a JS programmer's perspective.

If I have

a = {}
a.foo = () => ();

foo is a member of a.

Where as if I have

class A {
foo() {}
}
a = new A();

foo is a member of the prototype for class A. This is important because I need to know if replacing A.prototype.foo will effect all new As or none. Documenting the function is defined on the prototype tells me this. So, I need both Array.prototype.slice and WebGL2RenderingContext.prototype. getActiveUniformBlockParameter documented the same.

If WebGL2RenderingContext.prototype.getActiveUniformBlockParameter is only documented as WebGL2RenderingContext.getActiveUniformBlockParameter that suggests to me that I can't do this

WebGL2RenderingContext.prototype.
getActiveUniformBlockParameter = someNewFunc
gl = someCanvas.getContext("webgl2")

Instead I must do this

gl = someCanvas.getContext("webgl2")
gl.getActiveUniformBlockParameter = someNewFunc

The first is far more useful because I can effect it indirectly. The second requires me to modified code at creation, code that might be in a 3rd party library.

So, if .prototype. is left out of the docs for WebGL2RenderingContext.prototype.getActiveUniformBlockParameter that suggests to me I can't do the first. Seems like those 2 things Array.prototype.slice and WebGL2RenderingContext.prototype.getActiveUniformBlockParameter should be documented consistently. In other words, a JS programmer does not care about implementation details. They don't care one object is a DOM element vs a JS Object (at least not in this case). They care how they can use it in a program. To do that they need to know is the function on the prototype or on the object itself and documenting as Class.prototype.func tells them that.
