I'm interested in TS, but I've been working with CoffeeScript (and Python) for 2 years and am very fond of significant whitespace (and not at all fond of semicolons and curly braces). There was a Typed CoffeeScript project, but nothing is active now. And CoffeeScript 2, with built-in support for JSX, is in beta.
Are you going to declare war over it?

Unlike how a lot of science fiction portrayed it, it really does not look like genetic modification is going to be individually costly once it is "production ready". A lot of the fears are of creating an underclass of genetically inferior humans, and then the usual argument is you have to ban improvement based modifications for that reason, but why not just promote not having unmodified births the same way we somewhat incentivize aborting fetuses with significant defects already?

All it is moving the bar higher, so that the "average" natural birth just becomes acknowledged as a defect. This is not new - centuries ago children born with even some of the most debilitating mental retardations could still be useful as manual laborers doing the most simple tasks. The abolition of most of those tasks has made is so extraordinary mental deficiency is almost always absolutely crippling, to the degree parents often do decide to abort over it.

The bar was raised then. People only seem content with it because it is both uncommon and a burden to them to support the deficient. When we have superhumans, are regular humans not then also a burden?

My point is that a well rounded education probably makes for a smarter person. If all you do is code or solve calculus your world view might end up being rather narrow.
I'm not sure how much extra "security" you're really getting out of staying strictly within ChromeOS. Yes, Secure Boot is disabled. However, the ChromeOS partition is still encrypted, and you can manually encrypt any of your crouton chroot environments, so someone looking at the thing still wouldn't be able to peek into the contents. If you're asked, "Why is this in Developer Mode?", you can answer, "I'm a developer."

Additionally, once Developer Mode is enabled, you must hit Ctrl+D to move past the warning screen every time. It is incredibly easy to inadvertently hit Enter or Spacebar, and then have the Chromebook wipe itself and restore to factory settings. I've done it inadvertently myself, and have heard multiple reports of a developer's spouse/child accidentally clicking it, too. Unless a Border Patrol agent knew exactly what they were doing, I'd be willing to bet they'd accidentally wipe it as well.

Finally, while I'm aware that disabling Secure Boot in theory opens you up to an Evil Maid attack, what is the likelihood that border patrol/customs would have a malicious OS on hand, and the know-how to flash it? Worst -case scenario, if you suspect they've tampered with the OS, simply hit Spacebar yourself as soon as you get it back, restore Secure Boot, and then start over from scratch!

As an aside, if you are confined to ChromeOS, I highly recommend Caret as an editor. It's a FOSS, Sublime clone chrome app that works swimmingly on Chromebooks.
I've been doing the same thing, but as I work with Docker often I had to waste a bunch of time compiling a custom kernel[0], which I ended up trashing after about a week because who cares?

Instead, I just have my Chromebook and a VPC on Google Cloud that I SSH into for work. Theoretically I wouldn't be able to work if I didn't have internet access, but I've never actually run into that problem. I still have dev mode off, but I don't think turning it on is a huge risk.

Steam games though? I didn't know you could do that.

It's a crying shame that DKMS is so horribly broken on RHEL/CentOS/SL. Nothing like having it blithely make weak-updates symlinks to the ZFS and SPL modules that were compiled for your oldest still-installed kernel, only for those symlinks to end up pointing nowhere after that old kernel gets deleted. Oops! Your zpools now won't import until you clean up the mess. Been there, done that too many times.

Say you put £100 in the bank 50 years ago.

Compound interest tells us how much money we have. If we assume an improbably static 2% every year, today we have ~£270 in our account.

Inflation doesn't work on top of that because £270 is what it's already worth today. Inflation tells us what our original £100 is worth in terms of buying power.

If a loaf of bread cost £0.10 in 1967 but costs £1.50 today, we can say over 50 years there has been 150% inflation. These sorts of price index comparisons allow us to compare worth back then.

Or in reverse, you can see this in very real terms. You could look at your £270 and see that would only buy you 180 loaves of bread. In 1967, your £100 would have garnered 1000 loaves. Interest has not kept up with inflation. You have lost money —in this example— by "saving" it.

On a shorter timescale, RPI and CPI allow central banks to see inflation and —to a point— alter their base rates to help influence the balance of savers-vs-spenders, lessening the popular disposable cash, and lessening inflation.

That's the theory, anyway.

As far as I'm aware, this is not necessarily true. We know that dolphins have rich vocal patterns for communicating, and I recall recently seeing an article hear about lexical structure in bird calls.

> the best "cross-platform toolset"

I've used Electron apps where no such restrictions have been put in place; it has lead me to believe HTML/CSS/JavaScript is nowhere near the best "cross-platform" toolset. It's more accurate to say that it's the lowest common denominator. Electron desktop apps today look and act like Java apps from ten years ago.

I'd say that the onus is on web developers to prove that it is capable of creating cross-platform apps that are even as good as, say, Eclipse, before attempting to call themselves "the best".

> do some light word processing.

Due to how much latency affects typing and interaction with an editor, I absolutely do want a native desktop app - neither Atom nor VSC react quickly enough for my editing uses, and Google docs is aggravating to write more than a page or two in.
Hmm, true. But, can we design for perfection across all traits?

I always imagined it's a bit like the old Mage vs Warrior vs Ninja (or whatever) selections in fantasy games - you can maximize total area under the curve, or you can specialize in certain areas at the cost of others.

Edit/add - A convergence would also indicate there is global agreement on the "gold standard". Sure, maximizing intellect and longevity/health is easy. But, physical appearance?
> But bill gates and Microsoft's business practices killed real businesses. This is not my imagination, please read up the history. Those entepreuners dreams were destroyed by an unethical company.

That's, frankly, a pretty small price to pay. Entrepreneurial dreams are a dime a dozen, and many (most?) of them don't even have a good social impact. Some individuals whose dreams were "crushed" may feel sad, but unless we're talking about people losing their livelihood and ending up in poverty because of Microsoft, it's not even on the map compared to what Gates is doing now to help the world.

The argument presented was that open sourcing would allow that little bit of internet history to be preserved. My point is that you don't need source code for that. IMHO we don't want anyone to continue developing flash. Even it's creator has declared EOL for it. I understand there are people who want to mess around with it and do things that are potentially interesting, I object to disguising those desires as a preservation activity.

Yes, the original motivation for me was because I did not want to mess with Make or similar build systems every time I create a new project or make a big change. It is more similar to systems like Bazel or CMake, where you define tasks in a high-level way.

I internally already have rules for Android APKs (including NDK), embedding other build systems (CMake, etc), Git and JavaScript. Once they are ready, I would like to make them builtin as well. I'm also open to contributions. (:
When I first heard of slack, I signed up right away and pitched the idea to my supervisor to move to slack. It has all we need. The idea was turned down. But I still wanted to try it out. So, I setup a slack for my family. It has been a great experience. I have multiple channels, trips, events and all. My parents enjoy it. I get asked why not use "Whatsapp Groups". I did tried it, but I felt Slack was a better and I really dont like to get added to random groups without having my consent. So, I stopped using whatsapp.

What are you storing in your contacts database that's so huge that it can't be loaded over the network every time?

Are you hand-writing notes and storing the notes as images?

I use Apple/Google's built-in notes fields on the default addressbooks and it works just fine. I can't imagine having huge write-ups on individual contacts unless it was for some business purpose. In that case, I'd move to a dedicated note-taking application anyway.
Look at it from the opposite perspective though: "because I only want to develop webapps, the web itself should be bloated to contain everything I need to create apps already possible elsewhere."

"Because that's not the way I want to develop" is not a good enough reason to increase complexity, security footprint, and unintended side effects.

Species also evolve in response to environmental stimuli. Nowadays anyone of any relatively normal genetic disposition can reproduce almost as much as they want. There is no selection bias in our children on a structural level - the beautiful smart people aren't having dramatically more babies. If anything, we are culturally selecting for poverty since the poorer you are the more children you have on average. Poverty itself is not a genetic trait, but the negative traits that can lead one into poverty are obviously going to be much more abundant.
My company has just launched Career Trend
(https://careertrend.com), a website that combines career content (articles) with visualizations of US data for unique insights.

In addition to the standard article pages, we developed occupation landing pages which are infused with data about salary, job growth and college majors. Lots of fascinating insights can come out of this. One of my favorites is to compare childcare (https://careertrend.com/childcare-workers.html) to animal care (https://careertrend.com/animal-care-and-service-workers.html) occupation growth over the last few years.

Pulling the data together was not as simple as it might seem. The jobs graphs, for example, pull data from several different offices at the US Department of Labor, and span multiple occupation classification systems.

Comments, critique, and questions are welcome.

Bathroom Bill Signals Widening GOP Rift in Texas
The problem with this theory is that it disregards opportunity cost. This is what I don't get about everyone that lionizes Gates and everything he has done with his billions. Those billions came from depriving others. What would those at Netscape have done with the extra billions if they hadn't been forced to sell for a fraction of what they could have become? What would those at BeOS have done with their money if Microsoft's illegal OEM deals hadn't made them fail? What would all the businesses who were forced to spend money they didn't have to on Microsoft software have done with it if it hadn't flowed to Microsoft instead?

Microsoft's business practices, in my view, introduced greater inefficiency into the software and business ecosystem. They were a parasite that drained resources from every healthy business "organism" and no amount of philanthropy can make up for the opportunity cost paid for Gates to amass his wealth.

Mattermost team here,

There's connectors to Mattermost from IRC, XMPP, Slack, Discord and many other services: https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge

There's a wonderful Pidgin plug-in (https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-mattermost) that even has its own installer to bundle Pidgin itself (https://github.com/Brightscout/mattermost-pidgin-client)

Here's a Terminal client for Mattermost written in Haskell (https://about.mattermost.com/galois-releases-matterhorn/).

Also, we've upgrade the polish on Mattermost UI for our 4.0 release this month: https://about.mattermost.com/mattermost-4-0/

Agree good UI/UX in open source is hard, I think there are two challenges: a) Attracting top UI/UX talent, b) Having a project that prioritizes UI/UX.

That said, I would also propose that what has already happened is not impossible.

Elixir/Phoenix is not what I would consider a step forward, or something to jump over to.

Tradeoffs I am not willing to make given the rails stack is more than fast enough.

Something in the water in Seattle
The tech isn't that expensive, it is the R&D into knowing what you are doing. Once we have "perfect" embryos cloning and implanting them will be an expense almost anyone in the world could afford, especially if global incomes in the poorest regions keep rising as they have been the last 20 years.

The broader problem is that the educated and wealthy will probably either sterilize themselves or use birth control to avoid having "normal" children, whereas the poor either won't know, won't care, or won't be able to consistently afford it.

I would recommend reading section 4 of the CDDL (it's actually very similar to section 6 of the MPL 1.1 because that's what it was based on).

In particular, it has an or-any-later version clause that is opt-out. This means that if Oracle decided to release CDDL 2.0 tomorrow that was GPL-compatible, anyone with CDDL 1.0 licensed (without the opt-out) codebases could then use it in conjunction with GPL code (by exercising the upgrade path). From memory, the original ZFS codebase (and also OpenZFS) doesn't exercise the opt-out -- which means that they can be switched this way. [This is basically how you would take LGPLv2 code and put it into an AGPLv3 codebase (LGPLv2 -> GPLv2+ -> GPLv3+ -> AGPLv3+).]

I believe that's what they were trying to say. I'm not a lawyer (as usual) but that was the opinion of the community a few years ago. Canonical decided to just "go for it" and see whether Oracle will sue them. We'll see what happens in the future.
I hear this complaint often and still don't understand it. Twitter has had threaded conversations for a while now and they flow just as easily as HN comments.
