And it is possible to be far from a free market economy and still be capitalist, because Capitalism and "free market economy" aren't synonymous.

Let me cite Wikipedia since it's good enough here:
"Capitalism is an economic system and an ideology based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit. Characteristics central to capitalism include private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system, and competitive markets."

I made a few fun tools with p5.js a little over a year ago.

Image quilting: http://clayheaton.github.io/p5jsTiler/index.html

Genetic algorithm cartoon generator (that I never really finished): http://clayheaton.github.io/generative_cartoons/index.html

I love both Processing and p5.js. They're great tools for fun creative coding and also both are useful other types of prototyping and app development.

Some day I'll get around to extending the image quilting sketch to generate Wang tiles.
> The exact same setup (Chrome on this Linux laptop) works just fine with 4K youtube streams. Yet both Netflix and Amazon have restrictions for 4K where it basically only works with closed set-top box type devices. There's no reasonable technical motivation for the restriction.

That doesn't mean it will do that smoothly with DRM on top of it. It also doesn't mean that most users have equally capable hardware, since it might not be accelerated in hardware. While pretty much any device today will do 1080p H.264 with hardware acceleration. Have you ever tried explaining these nuances to customers who says their movie playback is terrible, if so, I think you would reach the same conclusion as those providers. Youtube is free and doesn't really have the same issue as people don't expect to be able to contact Youtube support and complain about quality.

> While I only have 2 choices, and those are the same two worldwide, I easily have 3 good ISP choices and those are local to each market, so worldwide there are hundreds or thousands. That's exactly my point. Worldwide the neutrality in content access is probably more important as it is a much more consolidated industry.

Well, good for you. But not every ISP market is the same, not every country is the same. I wouldn't mind that somebody looked at how content licensing works, but me being able to access Wikipedia or any number of other websites, a lot of which might be discussing my ISP in negative terms is IMHO much more important than i get to see the entertainment i like.
Tiny, single exe (and an ini for config) Windows programs have a special place in my heart. Perfectly portable, instant and lightweight.

I want to cry when I see simple software like Sticky Notes in Windows 10 using dozens of MB of memory and have a 30+MB install size with minimal functionality.

I don't have a big issue with .NET and Java based apps but I seem to be using more and more Electron based software and while the software isn't bad it sucks that every program comes with its own bloated framework :(

Is this actually true? A few days ago we found out 100 companies created 71% of the CO2.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14743137

Isn’t it really a matter of developing cleaner transportation and electricity to make us individually generate less CO2? Assuming of course, these companies become more efficient.
What is Search Relevancy?
I agree. There is some work to go off heap with Java and supposedly you can get incredibly results. Unfortunately the libraries that seem to help doing this are either proprietary are not very well support or stalled.

Of course I think part of the problem is most people in Java land just don't have the 5m concurrency requirements so it doesn't get the love it probably should.
My recollection was that availability of hardware drivers was a huge issue and a major barrier for operating systems attempting to take on windows.
T-Mobile has that set up in the US. Luckily you can at least opt out, which I have. T-Mobile offers various unmetered streams if you use the apps, but they degrade the quality of the stream. I believe all youtube streams become 480p, for example. I don't trust that they don't or won't affect other sites in some negative way.

Frankly, I'm happy with the data plan I have and I have no need to bargain off portions of the internet so that my ISP can closely monitor and manipulate certain sources.

I started to wonder how on earth it's possible we can see it if the amount of photons is still the same right? Well before I decided to blurt my unproductive comment here on HN I researched this article on Quora https://www.quora.com/If-photons-have-no-mass-then-how-does-... which says that gravity increases the photons energy, frequency and speed(I thought they travel at the constant speed of light?) as they travel through space allowing those faint objects to be still visible here on near-Earth space.

Yet if the amount of photons that travel is the same with a gravitional lense or not I'd argue that the information to see a lot of other distant and faint objects exists as well. We just need better instruments to detect them. And probably there is a threshold after which the photon's energy become so small that it regresses into a background noise. Well kinda obvious now that I wrote it down.

>So, you are right that Netflix has a natural monopoly on Netflix-owned content. But the ISPs have a natural monopoly over internet infrastructure, not just on the internet infrastructure they provide.

Netflix has more of a monopoly than just their own content. Network effects make it so that I won't be subscribing to 10 different streaming services so their monopoly grows naturally because customers want a single streaming provider and content providers need access to a big pool of viewers. That's actually much harder to break than the ISP monopoly because you can easily start a new ISP by building small amounts of infrastructure in a single dense area whereas you can't do the same for the content over those same wires because those people while geographically homogenous will be quite varied in terms of tastes. You can try to build a niche streaming service for a specific type of content but it has to be very appealing for people to be willing to have yet another subscription. But we don't need to conjecture it's evident from reality. There are hundreds of ISPs worldwide and only 2 or 3 relevant streaming providers.

So any random webpage can talk to your Hue bridge?

I'm surprised they even allow such cross-domain requests, but this anyway doesn't seem safe.
I live in UK, city in the North East, and there's at least 5 major ISPs(BT, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, PlusNet) available here, plus there will be a plethora of smaller ones which are subleasing from the larger ones(so I can get broadband from the same company that I get electricity from, but they are most likely subleasing from BT)
> That argument may have worked in a world without HDCP and EME, but that's not the world we live in.

My argument weren't with regards to DRM. Simply with regards to performance, since we are talking quite a few more bits than 1080p. Indeed HDCP and especially EME has been great for enabling better playback experiences in browsers. But that still doesn't help with support for H.265 and for the increased bitrates needed for 4K.
Well, think twice if you really want to go that way. From my own repeating experience, you spend years working on some insanely difficult problem, making you feel miserable all the time, then once you accomplish it you have your 15 minutes of chemical euphoria in your brain; in a week or so everybody around you starts treating it as nothing interesting anymore, and your bosses induce themselves even daily a similar feeling you had from your accomplishment by snorting cocaine, inflating their egos. In addition, all the "easy problem, low hanging-fruit" solvers that rank high in popularity contests will overtake you.
Self sign from an internal CA and add that to client keychains

(but yeah your points are valid, which is deeply unfortunate)
That's not a net neutrality issue. They are very similar, but they aren't quite the same. I guess it depends on how you look at an internet connection.

Your connection provided by your ISP is a communication channel akin to a phone number. That is arguably a public utility that should be treated as such. Yes, an ISP should be compensated for infrastructure, technical support, etc. Access to the internet is pretty much a necessity in many societies.

Your subscription to Netflix is an agreement between you and a private entity for a service. It is up to Netflix to implement throttling policies for different pricing tiers, because Netflix is not providing you a communication channel to the web.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but it really depends on if you're paying the QoS fee to Netflix or to the ISP. An ISP should have to provide reasonable connections to the web at a reasonable price.

Cal Newport (not Carl) -- just in case anyone is searching by author.

Thirded. Read his book. Do what he says.
> In JavaScript they are used for metadata and other things you don't want to be serialized by JSON.stringify() or Object.assign().

They're used to avoid conflicts for "generic method" hooks (similar to dunder methods in Python): the conflict issues is why environments have broken when new methods were added, and why e.g. Object.keys and their ilk are "static" functions rather than methods.

If you don't want JSON.stringify or Object.assign to see your properties just make them non-enumerable e.g.:

> const obj = {};
> Object.defineProperty(obj, 'prop', {'value': 42});
> obj
< {prop: 42}
> JSON.stringify(obj)
< "{}"
> Object.assign({}, obj)
< {}

Object.assign will copy symbol-keyed properties. In fact Symbol-keyed properties are enumerable by default.

They live in an odd half-way world because many constructs only accept/handle string-keyed properties: Object.keys/entries/values and JSON.stringify use EnumerableOwnProperties and (for..in) uses EnumerateObjectProperties, both of which are specified to ignore non-string-keyed properties (before even checking for enumerability).

> I've always been confused by why Ruby uses symbols so much.

Mutable non-interned strings.
Weird I'm kind of the opposite. I will procrastinate before I start something big usually a day or two and then it's kind of like my subconscious gives me the answer. And I'm like that's how I need to do this. This has to do more with design than programming tasks.

Unless I'm wrong, the link you gave only speaks about impossibility for regular convex polygons, whereas the original links deals with the more general impossibility for any convex polygon with more than 6 sides.
KASLR just requires ONE leaked pointer to calculate base offset of the kernel, and from there is the standard ROPchain technique. The kernel is still one big identical blog, just mapped at a different starting address.

If i understand KARL correctly, they reorder the internal code (and data?) in the kernel. Therefore a single pointer-leak does not expose all the ROP gadgets anymore. More information leak is necessary, or a smaller amount of gadgets. Therefore imho this is a much better protection than KASLR.
It depends on what program you're talking about. The previous iteration, Binge ON, capped streaming videos at 480p, but you could opt out on your account settings page.

The current iteration, One, caps Netflix, YouTube, HBO and other services at 480p, and you have to pay $25/mo for an "HD Add On" to get rid of the cap.

Sprint caps different types of apps (even games) at different bandwidths as well, and there is no option to get more than 480p from them.

There is nothing good about this.

How do you debug your slow internet connection? What tools let you know you're getting what you're paying for?
My vague recollection of the Google event where this was first announced (was it late 2016 or early 2017?) - was it was going to "record" your site usage for as long as you were "recording" - and give the report at the end.

But this now sounds like a coverage tool for a single page?

Does anyone know if it can record over multiple pages and/or application usage (such as an SPA)?
Current understanding of willpower is that does, indeed, function like a "muscle".

Depending on what you are loading it may be more efficient to bundle everything in one file. If you are only loading a few kb per page, the overhead and extra time required for the network requests mean it's probably not worth splitting code.

> Just because you're not personally going to build a billion dollar chip fabrication facility to implement the new silicon etching process your research group patented shouldn't prevent you from licensing it to Intel and suing someone else that uses your invention without a license, IMO.

I completely disagree. You're now squatting on a useful technique and preventing someone else from using it even if they invented it in parallel without your help. That is extremely unethical.
It's the new language that the creator of Scala is now working on.
I sincerely wish people would get as upset about the regional monopolies ISP's have as they do about net neutrality. We have a serious problem the way things are now, and they just want to make it worse by grabbing even more power.
There are companies that are trying. Athena was doing a good job in a lot of respects but then decided they wanted the hospital market and that hasn't gone well. The issue is that switching EMRs has a huge switching cost. You are looking at years just to get the sale. Then there is the time and cost to switch which can easily be 6-24 months depending on size. The biggest problem is that all the health care workers have to relearn a whole new flow and these things are not trivial. Add in that most health care workers are not as tech savvy as you would think.

Additionally, as was mentioned, the health care systems depend on the EMR for all government and compliance reporting. The EMRs also do NOT play nice together so even if you get customers, it is hard to get data out and shared with other systems. It is possible to disrupt this space but you better start with a war chest, start with a very focused niche (say Urologists) and be prepared to slog it out for a decade.
In priority shipping, only one side pays the fee. If the post office or UPS said "oh you want it there faster, pay X" to both sender and receiver, and both were required to pay for it to be faster, then it would be the same.

No, US lawmakers have been actively trying to stop Alipay from having any meaningful presence in the US. They called it a national security threat. It is all over the news.

You can probably read some news about Alipay approaching US retailers recently, that is all about 1) providing services to Chinese tourists visiting US, 2) serving Chinese online customers purchasing US products online.
Startup Fundraising: The Executive Summary
Thank you Joe for saving me countess hours and from social media addiction. You certainly left a great great legacy and your family should be very proud.
For me, math has always been a source of unplugging. I'd sit at my kitchen table, put in some headphones, and just get lost in endless math problems.

Interestingly, now as a masters student in a statistics graduate program, I've learned that I don't like "doing" math but get enjoyment from teaching it. I really like it when students challenge me when I'm at the chalkboard and I'll do anything for those "ah-ha!" moments. The best is at the end of the semester hearing students say "I thought this class was going to suck but I worked hard and am proud of the work I did." I'm hoping that on some small scale I'm shaping their views on math. Or at least give them the confidence to say, "I don't get this, but I'm not afraid to learn it."
Of course it's harmful!

We have a similar thing in our region (Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia). Mobile operators give you access to a couple of services unmetered, and you spend your data for other. As long as you can't choose the services you want to be unmetered, I consider these packages anti-NN.

This works in your specific advantage since you've probably already been using Spotify previously. If you were an Apple Music / Google Play Music subscriber, and were forced to switch to Spotify, it wouldn't be ideal for you, would it?

I even took things a bit further. About two dozens of websites from the region (so, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia) either shut down, or displayed a static message about the harmfulness of such data packets today. It's kind of a small support towards Battle for the Net and their action, but our goal was more to spread awareness and start a story than to ask for a specific action (like sending comments to the FCC).

It's not as big as Battle for the Net, it's mostly me and the websites I already had a previous affiliation with (posted articles previously and things like that), but I had $0 budget, a steady job + other obligations, and was basically able to spend <2 hours per day convincing websites to shut down for a day.

All in all, I consider my own project a success.

No point in sharing the link in an English forum, but in case there's someone from the region interested in it, and in case you really feel helpless outside of the US, here's an example of what you can do. This is not a local fight, this is a global fight against the ISP fuckery: https://netneutralnost.com/
It is what will become Scala V3 (eventually)
I agree with what you said. What I was really trying to get across was the need for a real community and wider adoption.
Their biggest problems seemed to just stem from their arbitrary choice to use subdomains instead of subdirectories. If they just put everything on the same domain (/sites/stackoverflow, /sites/superuser, etc.) then they would literally just need 1 certificate for everything, no third-level-wildcard nonsense. Not sure what this decision to have a gazillion different domains has gained them honestly. Reddit clearly manages to work that way.
In my previous life as a cubicle drone in the late 90s I have worked with Delphi under Windows and always dreamed about it being ported/cloned/whatever on Linux. After seeing a demonstration of Kylix many years ago I almost lost any hope (slow as molasses and buggy), then one day I saw this new project called Lazarus which promised high compatibility with Delphi code and to allow building of native apps. Admittedly it was very buggy then, but eventually it matured over time and I'd say it has been damn ready to be used for production for some years. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.
I understand, but we could definitely use your help. The current administration is hostile to most citizens, and anything that could be done to stop them would be appreciated,
