This article fails to address the main problem: the javascript ecosystem is like a cancer: it spreads at an alarming rate and you just can't keep up and the quality of the tools converges to zero. Even the numerous [hiccups](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/23/npm_left_pad_chaos/) don't make js devs realize that there are big problems at the heart of the javascript world. They are either blinded by the Blub paradox or just do it for the money. Most js devs don't even know what big O is and how do you expect someone to write a graph library (or anything involving the simplest of algorithms) without that knowledge?

At least there are languages which can be compiled/transpiled to js and WebAssembly is coming so I don't have to touch this abomination.
> My personal opinion is that Slack has been so successful primarily because nothing older than it (IRC, Campfire, HipChat) was a decently modern product by the time Slack launched and Slack was really good at marketing.

I disagree about the decent competitors -- there is e.g. Flowdock which in many ways (such as proper threading) is still better than Slack, and was doubly so back then. I think it's more about access to VC money and network effects, and indeed the successful marketing you mentioned.
Overstretching infrastructure won't make it any better for anyone. Imagine the lifeboat which accepts everyone and sinks because it cannot support the weight.
AWS allegedly allowing unconstitutional blanket warrants and spying
I think that a problem in the JavaScript community is that some projects and people rise to the top extremely quickly and this creates undue hype - Then developers just pile onto the latest shiniest ideas and abstract concepts without actually doing the due diligence for themselves in a real-world practical setting.

Eventually, developers realize that while the over-hyped tool or framework that they're using does add a form of theoretical elegance to their project, it also carries crippling non-obvious overheads which slow down real-world development overall.

I think it's important not to buy into hype. When evaluating and selecting a framework or library for a project, if it has had a lot of hype then instead of marking that as a positive on your checklist, it should be marked as a neutral or sometimes even as a negative.
Tidb vs. scylladb
tidb and scylladb, which is the future?
Perhaps I am up too late and don't completely understand where your question is coming from... but there's a lot of hope available in biology because DNA is one of the most successfully widely deployed technologies of the last 4 billion years. It's had hundreds of trillions of years being battletested in production environments. It's cheap to copy, replicate and eventually it will be cheap to modify and write. Literally everyone is (badly?) programmed with DNA-- and CRISPR isn't the last word on genome engineering. There will absolutely be changes that large chunks of the population will demand, far and beyond the demand for vaccines.
I am sceptical. Are there any examples of successful government policy planned 23 years in advance?
Does the broadcom processor normally have access to main memory? If so, I would have to consider that a complete attack absent any mitigation technology.
Maybe your .swfs need to be embedded in an HTML page to work? If they use external assets referenced by relative URLs the path is relative to the embedding HTML page (this used to cause some confusion).

If you really want to get them working you can try:

- Opening them in the debug player, maybe you'll see a trace that gives you a clue.

- Decompiling (with the right software this is often quite successful... 'Sothink' used to be pretty good) , opening in the Flash authoring environment and re-exporting.

- Trying older versions of Flash Player (Adobe still provides them for download)
brainstorming:
Has timing got more precise over time?
Is it something in the atmosphere that's changed over time?
Has the threshold of pain willing to be endured been reduced in our culture?
Perhaps there is better awareness about the downsides of pushing through pain and injury.
Unfortunately they haven't. We recently moved away from slack because it's just too buggy using the desktop clients and nobody wants to have to keep it open in a browser the whole time.
OP's probably a script kiddie who thought "Hacker News" meant the other type of hacker.
And to add, this is clearly needed as otherwise a government could only undertake projects to the length of their term which would be limiting.
Well you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Don't expect quality js tools to emerge from an ecosystem which is rotting at its core.

His arrest was coordinated by the FBI. I doubt he would be arrested at all if not for the FBI.
I like Slack as a product.

I don't like how some open source and general interest communities use it for communication, as you have to go through this awkward sign up process that describes language like "welcome to the team!" and you have to set individual passwords for each team you join.

Slack seems to me like it's designed for businesses and teams to communicate, not as a public forum.

There are people out there that fall for 419 scams and spam email. You are on Hacker News. It's safe to say you're not the average measurement when it comes to who clicks ads.

On the whole ad blockers are not as popular as you might think, you just hear about them more frequently due to the circles you browse in.

In any case you say you click on one a year. Lets assume everyone does likewise and multiply that alone by Facebook's userbase and you've got a good 5 million ad clicks per day.

But you see, the endpoint of this endeavour is not to eventually find a better job or get the piece of paper. Is to learn something for myself.
So 1.1.1.0/24 doesn't seem to be in the global table from North American carrier perspectives. It's certainly not a routed prefix for any of my machines in North America. The closest prefix I can see an announcement for on a global basis is 1.1.3.0/24 (CHINANET FUJIAN PROVINCE NETWORK).

Like bcoates said, there's a bunch of dumb stuff out there designed by people who barely understood TCP/IP and used non-RFC1918 ranges for customer equipment. Occasionally they leak indirectly into a table that's being redistributed into some mom and pop ISP's BGP announcements, and this happens. The backbone carriers of the Internet all (well, maybe not tata) have much stronger filters than Honest Achmed's used car sales and Internet transit, so they tend to leak only within a country or region.

Occasionally its some ISP internal services and it's done deliberately to have easy to remember IP addresses for techs working on the network. I mean, do you want to have to remember to point SNMP traps to 216.31.49.167 or would you rather only have to remember 1.1.1.1 instead? Then the prefix hits the border bogon filter and remains entirely with that ISP's network.

Now that I think about it, scanning ISPs for known unannounced prefixes in the global table would be kind of a fun project to discover all the little internal services ISPs might have squirreled away throughout their network.
GATTACA!
All they have done is made an announcement. Convolutedly, this is more about: the now lame-duck prime minister who asked the people for a stronger mandate to negotiate the best out of the Brexit disaster but went down like a bag of sick with the electorate thereby weakening the government's position even further to 'laughing-stock in Europe' status. Who then showed utter contempt and a complete lack of integrity by trying to delay the inevitable, cling to power and refusing to do the honorable thing and resign, in doing so creating even more uncertainty for a repulsive, back-stabbing cabinet member to jockey for position during the recess and a gutless party desperately sucking up to the Greens and their ilk for support in a minority government and trying to divert attention from the stories of historical incompetence emanating daily from the press.

It also ironically falls in line with other EU states recent announcements. So old-, non-, fake- whatever you want to call it news.

I've lost more in my own local wallets due to losing both of the USB flash drives that contained the keys (as ridiculous as it sounds, I think my girlfriend's cat stole one of them).

Realistically, I've come to think cryptocurrency just isn't for me; it's too damned easy to lose. I also forgot my passphrase for some other BTC (I think I remember it, but it doesn't work, so, there those went). It's not huge sums; 1 BTC here (which was only worth about $300 when I "lost" it), a half BTC there, but the only BTC I still have access to is the half of one I have at Coinbase.

I may yet find one of those flash drives, or figure out what my passphrase actually is for the others. But, what I have found for sure is that BTC is too hard to keep safe (mostly from myself).
This is ridiculous overreach. It sets a dangerous precedent where any online trader must be mindful of all legislation of all possible jurisdictions on the world.

There is a lot of resistance, universally it seems, to the concept that outsourcing is different to in-house development/administration. It doesn't even seem like its a knowledge issue, but rather willful ignorance. Cost, convenience, and less likelihood to be blame for faults is more important than security and control.

To take one example, only government entity that I know that don't outsource email would be the military, and even there I doubt the in-house use is 100%.

Some suggestions, assuming this effect is true for other regions:

- because the social functions SMM has enabled/filled/replaced are more rich and varied, so longer and more differentiated conversations are more commonplace for a majority of users. Say, 'Pub social commentary' takes place online instead/in addition.

- because there's a decrease in complexity of messages in web forums: as platforms like Reddit become more populated, average user interaction goes down (and more so for certain personality types), but those persons have maintained a similar amount of communication overall.

- because the Internet has increased average verbal competency by increasing the raw number of written words processed. The younger you are when you start using it regularly, the more this effect is pronounced, such that only a couple of years makes a large difference.

- because of a difference in the base-level of verbal fluency granted by education between the early 90s and early 2000s. Growth of the middle-class comes to mind.

- because 'feminism' and 'politics': ideas that have terminology with more average letters are more popular topics. But that's a slightly silly one.
That seems like a very specific question, maybe something that you could get a faster answer to by messaging Spotify NYC employees on LinkedIn?

I worked at Spotify Stockholm (doing my master thesis there), and it was quite nice. Pretty much what you'd expect from bigger tech companies (Google, FB), only on a smaller scale. I'm sure you'll find a lot to do as a UX researcher since they are constantly experimenting with new features.
Can't popularity explain this? Marathons used to be for an elite of first movers, then everyone joined and the elite left to do ironman and other sorts of crazy extreme.

I mean, this is a personal theory that I've basically pulled out my ass right this instant, based solely on what I've seen my coworkers do, so it's probably completely ridiculous. But in my network the people who were the fastest at running marathons aren't running marathons anymore.

I had an employee once who, when tasked with designing an API for use by a partner company, copied MS conventions a-la "CreateWindow", when I asked about adding more functionality he said "I'll just do CreateWindowEx" and "IWebBrowser2". His claim was "If MS is doing that and MS is successful, this must be a good way to do it".

After I pointed out that, despite several attempts, there is no MS-Compatible API (this was in 2001, I think reactos and wine had both been started, there had been other attempts at WinAPI emulation, but none was worth anything), and that we had 2-people working on it, not 400, he agreed that perhaps the Unix API is easier to maintain, document and reimplement -- as is evident by many (re)implementations available.

For Microsoft, a labour-intensive-to-maintain-and-labour-intensive-to-document API is a benefit, because they can afford it and they are already holding the dominant market position (making it hard to be compatible with them). For a lean team, maintaing this kind of API is a penalty.

Similarly in this case, what's good for Google and what's good for you are not necessarily equivalent.

Google solves speed, redundancy and reliability by making and managing copies. ZFS makes one single machine the most reliable file system available today. But Google cares not about any single machine.

Do you have 100 copies of every important datum? If you don't, then you shouldn't copy Google.

The problem with UWP started with Windows 8.

As consequence of the traditional WinDev vs DevTools relationship, WinRT did not care for a good story.

Worse, it forced devs to write the app three times because the APIs were not the same between phone, tablet and desktop.

Window 8.1, helped a bit with the Universal Apps model. Then the business code could be shared between platforms, but the views (XAML) still needed to be written three times.

Finally UWP was supposed to be back into one single code base for all platforms, but it still lacks polish.

One area is that .NET Native imposes restrictions on .NET code and they are still improving on that area.

Another burning point was that they dropped raw 2D APIs from .NET, forcing anyone that wanted accelerated graphics to go write DirectX code with C++/CX or C++/WRL. Forcing them to make Win2D available.

This is also one of the reasons why Visual Layer was later introduced.

C++ devs also don't know much what to expect.

Initially there was C++/CX and C++/WRL, then Kenny Kerr got hired to work on C++/WinRT, which would support UWP but with standard C++ instead of the extensions used by the former.

C++/WinRT is still WIP after two years, and C++ almost vanished from Microsoft UWP related presentations. The majority of C++ talks are always related to standards support, or OS X/Linux/Android related tooling support.

No word when C++/WinRT will reach feature parity with C++/CX, be supported on Blend or even actually integrated into Visual Studio.

Meanwhile HoloLens and Visual Layer graphical coding presentations are done with C#.

A real pity, because UWP is what I wish .NET would have been since version 1.0 built on COM and AOT compiled to native code, but Microsoft doesn't seem to get it right how to send an uniform message to the developers to build up confidence.

After watching the whole documentary, I can't see how this confession can be considered "forced" - best claim defense attorney had was that the boy was so mentally challenged he didn't understand what he was confessing to.
Meanwhile, in non-first world countries, torturing and beating subjects on the usual, even non-vioent crimes is a routine. US justice had problems, but your "especially" is unwarranted.

pybind11 is a similar library, but for interfacing with C++ from Python:

That is indeed what happened. Unfortunately, HN has become so fucking dour, and mindless downvoting is quickly replacing interesting discourse. This is no longer a place for some occasional lighthearted discourse.
> All they have done is made an announcement.

Yes. We added "pledges" above.
The main argument (tulips have substitutes) is very light. Just by looking at the number of alternative blockchains flying around, it's hard to treat bitcoin as something unique. And that's what makes me extremely sceptical.

Might be an interesting cryptographic concept. An asset class? Nope.
the icons are also a little open source project https://github.com/renasboy/eth-address-icon
There's a story about a carpenter who walked into a library, picked up a copy of Serge Lang's book "Algebra", skimmed through the first page where he proves uniqueness of the identity in a monoid, was surprised at how ironclad the argument was, and became a mathematician to study it more.

I forget his name, or where I heard it.
This is nothing more than a desperate headline grab. Who would even want to build gasoline or diesel cars in 2040?
In one case, a digital agency had one of their developers going on holiday and the deadline for the project was two weeks away. So they needed a quick replacement.

If you know some good recruiters and you let them know about your situation, they can get very creative.

And that's exactly why this is a dodge: It doesn't affect the current administration, and if a future administration doesn't like it, they can just change it. it's a classic maneuver of the "kick the can down the road while pretending to make policy" kind.

Why is it so unbelievable to you that some countries have more extensive high school math curricula?

I don't know this particular case, but it's well known that countries from the ex-USSR teach math at much more intensive level. I personally know multiple parents who have immigrated to my Western European country and who complain that their child is being taught concepts they've learned years ago, so much that the parents end up having to home teach them after school.

> I still don't understand why.

Look at Apple and compare the iPhone and Mac versions. They share the same architecture and a lot of code and that is not just on the surface but for real. This allows Apple to have one very, very good codebase for their OS. Microsoft did not have that solid foundation and additional challenges particularly in the area of security. There was no way for them to catch up if they maintained multiple platforms. To see where trying to have multiple platforms lead just study Nokia.

It's funny, we were early (?) adopters of Flowdock, back in about 2012, on one particular project. We used it fairly happily for a year or so, and then just sort of forgot all about it and drifted back to Skype (I think with a brief flirtation with Hipchat whilst we were doing something Atlassian-centric), probably because Skype was free and Flowdock wasn't. In around 2014 suddenly everybody started using Slack, and I found myself wondering how, really, it was much of an improvement over Flowdock and why it gained massive traction. (I suspect marketing and the fact that Slack is effectively free for many types of teams.)

You're off by a factor of ten. Assuming monthly compounding:

(1 + .06/12)^(12 * (2017-1944)) = 78.97

78.97 * 180 = 14214

However the final amount is highly sensitive to interest rate assumed, for different interest rates:

.02 774.13

.04 3,321.26

.06 14,214.86

.08 60,692.55

.10 258,514.77

.12 1,098,489.57

However it's unlikely that the money would have been invested anyways.
