Can you link to a small Haskell code base or single file that you believe is "more readable" than any other language?
In the OECD? Yes.
Although descriptive of the legal situation, I object to the term "pirate library". There is no practical difference between a pirate library and a brick and mortar library, except the larger stock of books online. My local library even has a photocopier.

A library is a place where you can choose a book, and read it for free. That's how it's been for thousands of years. Copyright is a modern intruder and has no right to brand bone fide libraries as "pirate".
How old is this? In practice, since there is no native support for this format, ways 2 and 3 are the same (both JS based). We now have srcset + media queries that let us achieve this without any overhead.
I really hate to be that person, and content-wise I find the article very interesting, but:

“The text collections were far too valuable to simply delete,” he writes,
and instead migrated to “closed, membership-only FTP servers.”
More recently, though, those collections have moved online

So an FTP server is not "online"? I know, I know, it is a minuscule nitpick. But for some reason this kind of thing takes my attention hostage.

And let me repeat, content-wise this is a fine and fascinating article.
Zigfrid – A Passive RFID Fuzzer
An ugly thing about using negative digits with base ten (or any even base) is that you either have ambiguity on how to write numbers, or you have a different number of positive and negative digits.

For example, if you do base ten with digits EDCBA012345 (E=-5, D=-4, etc.) -- that's 11 digits -- then five can be written as 5 or 1E; fifteen is 15 or 2E, etc.

So you either:

- Accept that some numbers can be written in more than one way, which seems a huge disadvantage over what we have today.

- Rule out certain sequences of digits (E can only follow a negative digit, 5 can only follow a positive digit, if 5 follows a 0, then it depends on the digit before the 0, etc.). Not only is this inelegant, but it adds seemingly arbitrary rules for people to memorize when they're first learning how to write numbers.

- Remove one of the digits (e.g., remove E). Then things aren't symmetric around zero -- e.g. five is 5, but minus five is A5.
You didnt cite examples where this is working.

Sending them from pro to anti propaganda, assuming propaganda works, does work.
How is it a deterrent? Honestly, I can't see it. If I currently owned an unregistered drone and was using it to shunt contraband into prison, how would this legislation change anything for me? It wouldn't increase my downside.

Also, with guns, it's you, there, holding the gun, so it can be enforced.

With drones, you could be in a moving car a mile away. How does that get enforced?
I apologize if this is an incredibly stupid question, but why do these monitors cost so much? As I understand it, you can buy a good 4k TV for considerably less, so what features of this monitor make it a better deal?
There's a big difference between "inequality between sexes" and "death for homosexuals".

Just a tiny nitpick. It's per se, latin for "by itself", not per say. Just like should have is not should of.

I think one constraint is that the meaning of glyphs should be translation invariant. But this does not hold for dotsies either (the glyph for "a" could be interpreted as "b" depending on where the baseline is chosen). I wonder how subscripting or superscripting works with this font :)
Oh hey, it's this fan game. Never expected it'd be posted on Hacker News.

It's a pretty damn impressive project though, especially given how things like online level sharing have been implemented and what not.

Probably won't be shut down by Capcom either, given their past history of supporting fan projects. So yeah, definitely one to check out if you're a Mega Man fan, or just want something a bit different to Mario Maker.

And you may also want to read my interview with the game's creator if you haven't already. Goes into a bit of detail about their history, previous works and inspirations for the project:

> All these BIPs are just short term fixes which don't address

Wrong, SegWit (BIP 91 and 141) solves transaction malleability, which in itself will allow new layers (off-chain) to be built on top of the first layer (on-chain), which will allow orders of magnitude more throughput on number of payments per month.
Much like voting, being at the table should be opt-out.

Portugal will introduce drone registration and insurance as well.
You didn't cite examples either, and I'm skeptical of the premise. If reddit started redirecting /r/the_donald links to anti-Trump propaganda, or Youtube started redirecting his own videos to anti-Trump propaganda, no matter how good that propaganda is, I don't believe you that you could change their mind. And those people aren't even radicalised.
This sort of determinism seems wrong. It implies that if you had a Monte Carlo simulation engine of the universe and ran it 1,000 times beginning at the 20th century through today, you would expect those iterations to look a lot like our world. Only with some of the names and people being different, but fundamentally, everything else would still have happened.

That seems unlikely, no?
Not the same thing. The behaviour isn't "persistent": If you add or remove tabs to the window, the bookmark folder isn't automatically updated. Re-bookmarking every time you make a change isn't an option. You also lose state (history, forms, scroll position).
Watching anything on BBC iPlayer, even catch up programs, no requires a licence.

The BBC iPlayer service will warn you about content that needs a licence - it will ask before playing "do you have a licence?".

Have you told them that you do not watch tv as it's broadcast or anything on iPlayer? Once you tell them they should stop writing to you for two years.
> Because that is what decisions on blocksize are.

I disagree, blocksize is only related to decentralization/throughput trade-offs, not economic policy. The only economic policy that bitcoin has is the inflation rate, which is set in stone and very unlikely to ever change.
Probably a lot less volume being sold on ultra wide monitor panels. Therefore higher price.

Related musing: why is it seemingly easier to make very high resolution small screen (phones) than large screens of the same resolution ? Instinctevly I would think smaller leds are harder to make, but it doesn't seem it's the case ?
First and second are probably features for some people, third is solved, according to the source.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to revive plugins - back in the day we used object tags with links to the plugin to install to render the media. Maybe something similar can be done today with a link to some js that does the rendering. So you can have an img tag with mime type image/x-spif and a link to a js (or in the future, web assembly) handler in case there is no native support.

Web browsers are basically operating systems now. We should be working towards letting people safely install extensions.
No, not at all like that. I want the top search suggestion to be Wikipedia (or whatever else which is appropriate). I don't want to then click on an Wikipedia icon or whatever to search.
They tried to fix that with ISO Extended Pascal, but by then compatibility with Turbo Pascal extensions was more relevant.
I do use keyword search. Not the same thing.
At the beginning is just a splinter, but if an infection starts, and the flesh around it slowly begins to die you might have no choice but to amputate.

To some people is just a splinter, to others, well, you get the idea.
I suspect that in a few years a hololens / google glass style device will become cheaper and work as well as a big bank of monitors, and at that point it is going to rapidly replace physical monitors - and then economy of scale and iteration of the product will do the usual to the price/performance ratio of head-mounted devices, then screens go the way of CRT monitors when flat screens came along.

I'm not saying that a head-mounted device and virtual screens will necessarily be better than a bank of monitors - in fact it's time to asses drawbacks - but once it's cheaper and seems "just as good" then business will want to switch over, for better or worse.
I got to agree with the other guy on this. Youtube is bound by the laws of whatever country they operate in. If they refuse to cooperate with the Russian gov they will be banned and some other service which does comply will take their place. If you want to #FixRussianYoutube you got to first #FixRussianGovernment.

In Australia the difference between the rich and the poor feels a lot less pronounced. It helps not to actually know your mates might earn 3x what you do.

Thanks! I am so glad to see I was wrong on this!
It's designed for graphic design and other display-critical tasks, so it is calibrated to 99% sRGB color space. What it looks like on this monitor will be what it should look like in print and on the best of every other display. Plus, it's the UltraSharp top-end model, so all the mechanical construction will be top notch.

TVs, on the other hand, are designed to show the most oversaturated, "vibrant" colors on the demo loop on the show-room wall. And mechanically, they're designed to hang on the wall and never be touched.

Plus it's curved.
I Googled a good answer for you:

I strongly recommended Publii, new true static CMS. It comes with GUI and themes and supports a lot modern, popular hosting option: S3, GitHub Pages, Netlify, Google Cloud or SFTP.

https://getpublii.com
Monitors are designed to be viewed at close range, from multiple near angles. TVs are designed to be viewed several meters away, at roughly the same angle.

TVs play content of the same frame rate, so there's no reason for them to be any more precise. Monitors can go at very high frame rate as the content can be very fast paced, especially gaming monitors.

Freesync/gsync also integrates with the graphics card to reduce lag. This is the most expensive part of these monitors.
I have devices, I have an aerial, and there's a dish bolted to the wall. I don't have the devices connected to the aerial or the dish. I fill out the form, and I get a letter once every two years.

> but your reaction seems massively over the top.

Yes. There are a bunch of youtube videos of people saying the best thing to do is to never respond to the letters, but those channels also have people complaining about multiple letters and visits from TVL.

Depends what you're doing I'd say. In physics based modeling, which is used more in e.g. engineering, line plots are often very useful. When examining noisy real world data, not so much.

Fixed it for you. Like another person wrote, old Opera did it just fine in a period where PCs were much slower.
I asked derman what an alternative would be to the formal models quants use now and his answer was that the whole thing should just be left up to "smart people and their gut instincts". the problem is that as soon as these smart people's gut instincts fail (which they will) and they try to investigate why you'll be right back to formal models. derman strikes me as just a guy trying to sell books.
There is a greater failure rate the larger you make apanel. a great many are discarded from production lines. If the screen is smaller then it is less likely to incur error.

Also that cost is hidden in a phone, i'm not sure what the value of screen components would be.

The main headache seems to be blurry fonts which probably mean a lack of 4:4:4 chroma support or the inability to enable it.
This is not a gaming monitor, it only does 60Hz.
And it does not have freesync. The article mentions both facts.
It's like how megapixels are a bad measure of camera quality. This is a pro monitor with accurate color reproduction, low fading on the edges, minimal dead pixels, etc.
I don't understand why 100 mil aum is different from 1 bill aum. couldn't you just divide the billion amongst 10 groups that are Chinese walled from each other? then there'd be no problems of market moving or depth or anything.
Drone Wars - Robot Wars in 3D.
I've heard this sentiment from many people. I probably depends on how one uses Facebook. For me, I have a busy career, grad school at night, kids, and I barely get time to go to the gym. Sadly, my extended family gets left behind, we don't speak as much as we'd wish. Months go by and photos aren't shared. Being able to post to a limited audience and have them subscribe to these photos has lead to a much closer bond amongst our extended family. Same with childhood friends I love dearly but dont have time to keep up with.
Several reasons:

- TV's are generally low framerate, as much as they'd like to claim 240FPS, it's mostly all 30FPS, with software interpolation to increase the frames.

- Bulk. TV's are solid in higher numbers, justifying the lower price

- Distance from face. Your 60" TV can be two smaller panels "glued" together. Not noticeable from watching distance, but having a monitor so close to your face, you're more likely to notice the millisecond tearing.
I am happy to hear this because I stopped using firefox and migrated to google chrome around firefox 51, and boy it was SLOW.

Now it might be worth it to give it another try.

In the meantime, I am seriously concerned about Thunderbird. Thunderbird is my MUA of choice and quite frankly, there are very few options to replace it, and none of them seems 100% okay (except, maybe, Evolution). Clawsmail is okay-ish, but so ugly to see and feature-poor.
I'm not kidding, but I proposed doing something like this as an open source project for the Segment open source fellowship. I didn't qualify but I am keen on doing this. A few priorities have taken over lately, looking for a job primarily but I will get there. My goal is slightly different than what you have mentioned here. I want to start with a few tagged images and use clustering to get more images, tag them and increase the training set volume.
Only 60 hz. Sigh - I hope mainstream moves to 100+Hz monitors soon. I love the fluency of my far-too-expensive 'gaming' IPS 144hz monitor despite I don't play that much. Just the fact that web pages and mouse pointers don't lag is a noticeable improvement.
Do you have a source for that 40% claim? I can't find anything about that
Also, incidentally, I'd happily pay a bit of premium for a TV / Monitor that has good image quality but no other features. Perhaps not 2x as much, but 20% might be doable.
This is why C++ standard folks want a simple basic 2D library available as part of the standard.

I thought I was talking about the principal of static typing, rather than any language's implementation of it.

Back to my original point, if you have tell your language that 2 is an integer, well, that is a certain kind of issue with that. And if you don't have to tell it that, then there's another issue that happens.

I don't know Haskell or OCaml beyond toy programs, and I'm willing to hear things beyond my knowledge. But as far as I do know, the point doesn't change.

I'm happy to eat my words and learn.
Do you have a source?

I agree with you that programming is a skill that has to be learned, and that not possessing this skill is a greater barrier than the tooling.

However, I think that a lot of problems currently dealt with by programmers do not actually require programming skill, and could be solved by the end-user if they had a better interface available.

I think something similar has already happened with the standard libraries and package ecosystems of modern languages. You no longer need the skill necessary to write a performant hash table, or XML parser, or HTTP client; if you want to quickly throw something together, you just import what you need and then add glue as necessary.

So in a way, a "human relevant stdlib" could actually provide lots of people with the tools to do things that are currently "programming", but that aren't actually inherently complex. I'm not really sure what should and could be in such a toolbox, but trying to make programming more accessible seems like a good way to find out.
Perhaps it can also solve myopia that is common among nerds. At least if the focal point of the virtual monitor is chosen at infinity.
Delivery companies are probably the largest potential users IMO.

Imagine the potential chaos if all those the Deliveroo/Just eat drivers were replaced with drones heading to and from restaurants and takeaways with no formally defined routes.
Firefox Nightly does, and it's not done by default in non-nightly (but you can enable it with "media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground"). I imagine it will become the default eventually.

"Firefox doesn't do this" is not a valid one-sentence summary of what I just said.
Drone registration could actually boost the drone-business market.

Businesses should welcome registration because people won't just look at it and think "well I could do that myself!" because of the additional hurdle; hurdles that businesses will happily jump through. It'll separate drones more clearly into "toy" grade drones and business grade drones.

The businesses for drones are anywhere that you want equipment (particularly cameras but not necessarily) that previously it was too difficult or expensive to put a person for either due to practicality or safety reasons.

Drones are now reasonably cheap self-stabilising mobile platforms. They won't be going away, they'll just be incorporated into other businesses where appropriate. It's easy to laugh at drone-races and selfie-cams but as drones become more reliable, more efficient and quieter they'll just naturally find use cases.
Can you elaborate on why do you think that it "would place significant downward pressure on my salary" ?

I agree that in a particular single negotiation if it just so happens that they have this information then it could be a significant impact one way or the other (depending on what that history is) - especially since there's an information asymmetry since they know what you're making but you don't know what their other employees or the other applicants are making.

However, if it's a policy so that this information is available for both sides in every negotiation for everyone then it doesn't seem that this should fundamentally change the average pay in any industry. The core supply/demand factors are the same, and for every instance that might lower the wage there's are many cases that would have an upward pressure, i.e., the underpaid people can now objectively see which other companies pay better, and such employers can't simply rely that long-term loyal employees will be ignorant about the market rates as they do now.
"Need" is a strong word, but you'll probably want to if you're trying to be productive. VR/AR won't replace the tactile feedback of a good keyboard, etc.

Then again, as someone who can't even use current VR/AR offerings (high myopia, don't use contact lenses) and is only following all of this as a fairly disinterested spectactor, it looks to me like the initial craze is already blowing over and people are taking a better look at the disadvantages and limitations of the current products. I don't see VR/AR taking over monitors or much of anything else, though I'm sure AR will find productivity applications in specific fields soon enough.
How do you propose we figure out who is doing the illegal stuff?

I think most folks are like you - aren't doing anything illegal that they know of and are pretty fair to folks. But the fact of the matter is that some folks aren't fair and are doing illegal things. And even more folks have hidden biases that affect how fairly they pay folks.

Being open about things is one way of trying to overcome that sort of thing.

The bright side is that most folks won't bother. Even fewer will do so if their name is going to be reported to the person they looked up. But by golly, if I were affected by one of those unfair folks, I'd look it up. And I'm guessing you would too, without considering that the unfair folks woudln't like that privacy invasion.

Since it helps those getting screwed over: No. I don't think it is your own business how much you earn.
> So it would be great if Chrome and other browsers would support MDI with tabs

It's extremely unlikely that will ever happen (if they were to do it, they would've done it by now).
I for one much prefer a physical keyboard with a good tactile sense, preferably cherry brown switches. So I would keep that.

Picture the same setup, just with the monitors removed. Maybe a white plastic sheet as backdrop for virtual screens.

Well, suddenly simply being in possession of the unlicensed drone is an offence, so you're now at risk every second its in your car or in your house. Being a criminal, you probably interact with the police more often than non-criminals, and if they find it in your house or car or in some other way in your possession, they've got you.
