I used to have Windows Phone up until 2012, and can tell you that the Hubs things did not really work as intended, as changes to the Twitter/FB/whathaveyou API usually broke functionality.

I especially remember FB messages taking hours to arrive sometimes...at its fastest there would be a delay of several minutes. So much for "instant messaging". At least back then you could still access messages in the browser.

Blackberry also implemented the Hubs feature in its BB10 and Android devices, but again functionality is pretty limited, by design. IM is a big business, and the companies behind it aren't interested in your using them outside of their own app, as you'd be deprived of using "innovations" like Stories, GIF addons and emoji packs.

I've almost been bitten by them in the same way. I vaguely remember that it was through HN that I found out about Kite and installed their plugin(s). It definitely felt 'dirty'.
I'm pretty sure that the only OS that don't have adware/spyware in them at this point are some Linux distros (maybe) and Unix.
Thanks for mentioning Brave. I've really been enjoying using it as a browser. Typing this response on it right now. Really hope it gets some traction as it's a cool idea.

I think your claim of "bigotry" is a bit overstated and I don't really care about people's political views in this context.
I use a combination of command line and GUI. From the command line, using git for commit, add, status, push, pull, fetch, branch, add remote and rm is just clearer, quicker and more straightforward in many cases.

From any of the IntelliJ derivatives I'll tend to do add, commit, push and diff just because it's a clean interface where I'm already working. I've never really like any of the standalone 3rd party tools though. They just never felt like they gave me anything all that useful.
I understand your position, but I think these companies do exist here. I know, because I've been at a few of them (Avere Systems and Bossa Nova Robotics, for example). I think our biggest challenge is getting sufficient capital in the region. The airport situation has been a serious impediment - great airport, few direct flights to the west coast - but that is changing.
Ah, thanks for the tip. That's a problem with Ubuntu as well, as old kernels don't get autoremoved often, so it's nothing worse than what I'm dealing with currently.

Thanks.... all this is great stuff. (Particularly the bit about going straight to the clipboard.)
I’d imagine the software would predict slower speed from bicycles and react accordingly, potentially backing off more than it would a car. Which might not be a bad thing, depending on how much is prediction versus reaction in these setups.

That it’s a different color recognition says something, and it might be that. Hard to say

The problem is that these lines of thinking have real impact. Schools are measuring their success, looking for dollars and changing curriculums around these memes.

We should expose kids to a variety of productive fields. Many people I know were pushed down paths they weren't suited for because of nonsense like this. My aunt was caught up in a "We must get women in business!" thing in the 80s, and ended up spending a long time working for the airlines, which was just a job for her. She went to PT for an injury and discovered this field the never existed, went back to school and became a physical therapist at 50. It's a job she loves and is passionate about -- the only thing she liked about her old gig was helping people.

That's not to say it's anyone's "fault". But there's a difference between pushing and exposing. We're pushing as a society. I don't want my son to be an engineer because his dad expected him to me.

This is why some data protection and privacy laws are starting to require active, informed consent before taking some actions, instead of merely specifying "consent".

Even without that, basic contract law in many places requires a degree of mutual understanding for the contract to be valid in the first place.

Bitmixer has stoped
It's a balancer item. It exclusively affects the leading player.

What's wrong with it is it's arbitrary (you can't really help it), it punishes good behavior (winning) but especially: it's too powerful!

Its balancing effect could be spread over a couple of other items. Certain items could receive a penalty if you're leading. The odds of picking just the right item up could be affected.

What's great about OP items like this is the amount of spectacular saves it creates. An expert player is already married to the game anyway, why care? It's only him that suffers. The rest has a very memorable stolen victory.

Honestly, I feel that at the very least the core team behind Kite should be held accountable for what they're doing. I'm not arguing in favor of an all-out witch hunt, but in the context of developers doing their development thing this kind of behavior should have consequences that potentially might include 'black-listing' at least the higher-level people behind it that thought this was a good idea.

Companies have no incentive to share information about themselves to anyone other than the government and credit agencies. So given that constraint what D&B does is the most efficient way. And they're already so dominant it's hard for competitors to break into their business. So they have monopoly power and can afford to have bad software.
> I miss webOS even more than Windows 8 :/. So sad we are left with two mobile OS options knowing there were good ones that didn't survive.

My first smartphone was a Palm Pre. I then switched to some of the first kind-of-mature android phones, like the HTC Desire and the Galaxy S2.

I remember feeling like I had taken a huge leap forward in hardware, but a backwards leap in software.

Even today I miss some things of WebOS. WebOS nailed the experience of having two documents of the same app. Each "card" could be a document, or a view into something, and each app could have several of those.

A short while ago I tried to write an email for which I needed to look often at another previous email. This is trivial on any desktop, but was a mayor pain on the mobile device I tried it (can't remember if Android tablet or iPad, but I doubt it's very different).

(If I recall correctly, Android today allows apps to expose several "Cards", or several views at the same time in the task switcher, but no apps do. For a while Chrome had an option to treat every tab as an independent card, which I liked but was messy for many people...

Every time I use a mobile device for anything serious, I think "This would be so much more comfortable and natural on Mac/Windows/Linux" every 5 minutes. May be it's just I'm antiquated.)
this, we need to wake up to the fact that China is willing to do whatever it takes to dominate. They have done massive research on genetics and intelligence and the top schools in china make parents take IQ tests to determine potential for children when accepting students. They don't care about diversity or equality, only results.

The US and Europe need to wake up or we'll be facing a billion hypernationalist, gentically modified super-geniuses while the only thing we have is the moral highground. Based on what I've seen over the last decade we should probably start learning Mandarin.

Parking downtown is bad, but I'd be curious what cities you are comparing it to with respect to traffic. I grew up in Chicago and lived in the Bay Area for a few years, and those are both far worse. A lot of the newer tech jobs are fairly close to downtown, the strip or the east end (both my wife and I are able to walk to work almost every day).

I imagine they aren't used much in places like the UK, where the government offers centralized business info lookup.
How easily extendable is that without the original source (e.g. when using as a library)? From what I can see it looks like if you can't edit the case statements you can't extend the functionality (e.g. expression problem stuff).

However, I'm not a haskell pro, so I don't know if I'm just missing the obvious here.

I still don't think this is a non problem. When you are using many different tools that are updating constantly, it is easy to not notice one adding telemetry. And even if you disable it, it very well may be silently reenabled in the future.

If it's the latter, yes, it's probably too late. But who knows how crazy it gets.
That's not true at all, the thread title very much says Arab not muslim. That is specifically a term for the middle-east. Also, that article seems to pull the numbers out of its ass without any proof. I'll stick with the actual numbers I posted, which means it is not a statement of fact. It is an exaggeration at the expense of Arabs.

Which is basically where your argument falls apart for BOTH links I posted. Because that's how The_Donald gets away with bigotry: it posts vague "factoids" that overblow a situation to let users make the desired conclusion but create plausible deniability once the users start posting them. You know it wasn't that long after before someone posted something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/6p7do4/hard_fac...

Turns out, when your sub is constantly suggesting a whole demographic of people are retarded without literally saying it, the users eventually make the connection and start believing it. Ironically that may be breaking down soon when such a ridiculous post like that managed +710, probably due to recent events causing desperation. (Also before you say "buts that's only Somalis!" OP was kind enough to elaborate in the comments that he's talking about Arabian immigrants too).

Either way last post, feel free to have last comment. This thread is probably dead now and now I can definitely tell you're not honest. This conversation is basically pointless.
No... cmd+shift+4 mostly covers that base for me. It's also a nice way to take quick measurements of screen dimensions. (Once the drag is started, <esc> will stop it without capturing an image.

But for cropping images in general, zooming in, adding quick bits of emphasis, etc. - Paint is pretty useful. (It also has the benefit of working more or less the same way since pre-Windows 3.0, so the consistency is a nice thing.)
Not really. In the US, Splitwise has a "settle up" button that lets your record a cash payment or use Venmo or Paypal to send the correct amount owed to the other person. Splitwise keeps track of who owes who. Venmo lets you pay them.
> Theft of copyrighted material

Copyright infringement is not theft. These are two completely different issues. When data is copied it is not taken away from the owner like when physical goods are stolen. Secondary damages may or may not occur, but they are not the same as depriving someone of a good. As an analogy, I wouldn't steal a car, but I surely would copy a car if I could do so by simply pressing a button...

> Show me evidence that OOP is better than other programming paradigms.

Huh? Why should I? I was responding to someone who claimed that OO had "failed".

It hasn't, and for non-failure, existence is quite sufficient (and no, this is not the "proof by popularity" you keep talking about for no particular reason I can surmise). Fact is that we have been able to successfully tackle much larger projects (and finish them with less code) than previous paradigms.

In addition, the very person who wrote about "No Silver Bullets" predicted that OOP (which was new at the time) was one of closest things to a SB that he sees, and 20 years later confirmed that estimation. He took a little harder look than you did.

> From where I gather we should all be using Haskell or something.

You should improve your reading skills. Haskell language level is 8.5, Objective-C is 12.0, Smalltalk is 15.0. Higher is better.

Once again, I wouldn't claim that OO is "best", though right now it is probably one of the least bad we have. However, the evidence is overwhelming that it hasn't "failed". (And no, single projects failing doesn't mean OO failed. And you are probably going to have more failed OO projects than other paradigms, simply because there are more OO projects).

To a large extent, other experimenters in the field at that time freely shared information. As indicated by this letter, the Wrights eagerly drank from that well, but did not reciprocate, as it was their intention to patent their achievements.

If they had managed their patents with the aggressiveness that we see nowadays, early aviation development might have been stalled for a decade.

I know what you mean about not knowing where to start! I think “all of this” is roughly what theoretical computer scientists call “Theory B”, or at least a large chunk of it, and where to start depends on which specific things you find most interesting.

If fact, we can argue, that Red-Hat management, being it a public company, is forced by law to do that.

You could argue that, but you would almost certainly be wrong. It is a myth that management at a company is always required to seek profit above everything else. Indeed, many companies explicitly do not do this, for example by having policies about operating in an environmentally friendly way for ethical reasons.
I've considered that approach, but that means keeping the code fully retrocompatible, and that kinda leads to madness :D

Plus if you have different processes per client, you can provide better security, particularly in terms of leaking customer data to each other. In our case, we just used different Linux and Postgres users for each client, but even just that meant that a few security bugs discovered in the application couldn't be used to read/write data of other customers.
If you understand Bitcoin benefits as: "decentralized no single entity controls"

Then, think of Etherium as: decentralized virtual slot machines no single entity controls

So visualize a slot machine: it advertises only the various ways you could win (in fact it never discloses the number of non winning combinations which are far greater in number) in other words manufacturers advertise only the possible upside to get you to put your money in. At best the thing being advertised happens at worst something else occurs which wasn't advertised, namely you lose your money.

The big difference between smart contracts and slot machines, is the ownership, in theory the casino owns the slot machines or at least leases the slot machine from the manufacturer, and so the casino gets the profits guaranteed by the code of the slot machine. Similarly smart contracts are crated/manufactured by an individual or groups of individuals, But here is where is gets tricky...instead of a casino hosting slot machines, smart contracts will live in perpetuity hosted on a blockchain. So whereas the slot machine directs funds that aren't wins to the casino, where do such funds in the smart contracts go? To wherever the smart contract tells the funds to go, even if it's an anonymous account (really owned by the smart contract creators) or the ability for any 3rd party to claim said funds. This little trick of anonymity allows the contract manufacturers to at least claim ignorance of the location of the funds.

There is one more thing to remember, Proponents of the smart contract somehow believe between the step the manufacturer creates the contract and releases said smart contract in the wild in perpetuity, by placing the smart contract on the blockchain, they somehow become indemnified legally (both civilly and criminally) from any damages the smart contract causes. In a most extreme example proponents i talk to believe you could build a bomb coded to go off upon a funding event, and once placed on the blockchain they would have no liability for the damage caused by the bomb because they claim the bomb was controlled/detonated by the code.
Designing Antiviral Proteins via Computer Could Halt the Next Pandemic
I'm curious why so many people are so vehemently opposed to cryptocurrencies, and in particular ETH.

If you believe it's a big scam/bubble and won't turn into anything, then don't purchase any. But what's with the influx of "ETH is the worst and you're stupid if you buy any" articles? They add 0 value to the blockchain culture and development, and only seem to be thinly veiled "I told you so/I'm smarter than you" think pieces.
Because it enables legacy code be reused in a/an good/expressive manner.

You just need to re-plug your legacy HTML+jQuery into render() and some functions in either React.createClass(to which is deprecated FYI), or React.Component (ES6 class extend).

Plus React features a very fast and tiny virtual DOM implementation making 60fps experience possible.

You can also do code separation by using ES6 modules system combining with Babel/Webpack so you can separate your CSS and images into somewhere else, this provides a better division and transparency of tasks and more or less benefited the software industries.

I mean Angular2 and Vue can do code separation too, but those two already came later than React.
