As someone with 16gb of space on my phone (before the OS), this has become really noticeable. It's a breath of fresh air when you install an app (like the habit tracker I installed the other day) and it's only 2mb...

It's worse knowing something like Facebook will cache a whole bunch of images, friend pictures and everything else.
I've been experimenting with Bulma (http://bulma.io/) and I've been enjoying it so far.

It absolutely makes sense! Over 10 years ago I started Productivity501 writing on various things I was learning about personal productivity. It has been extremely beneficial as a writing exercise, but it has also given me a much bigger presence on the web. A government agency was doing a background check on me for some contracting work. After they started, the person in charge of contracting called me up and asked how in the world I had time to do everything I had done online. They had done some searches and started finding hundreds of articles I had written over the years, interviews on other websites, people talking about articles I had written, etc. It made a huge positive difference in the way they perceived me.

Regarding not being an expert in some technical field: If you are putting any time at all into learning something, there is always going to be someone coming after you that knows less than you do. Explaining how you fixed a problem or set something up is going to be valuable even if it is very simple and even if you aren't an expert. Do a Google search for "connecting Visual VM to Tomcat 7" for an example of a post that I wrote simply to remind myself how to use Visual VM with tomcat. I am in no way an expert on Visual VM, but many people have found it helpful.

I have a few posts where I've written about a particular problem, forgot about it, and later Google led me back to my own post when I was looking up how to solve that same error again. So even just posting an error message along with a discussion of the details of how you fixed it can be extremely valuable. Think how often you've found an answer because someone else took the time to do the same thing. You probably didn't care if they were considered an "expert" or not.

One last example. Take a look at this article I wrote as an introduction to state machines:

http://blog.markshead.com/869/state-machines-computer-scienc...

I wrote that post to see if I understood the topic well enough to articulate it well. I'm pretty happy with its current state, but, despite all the time I put into it originally, the real work came when it got a bunch of comments from HN readers. If you scroll down to the comments you'll see people pointed out all kinds of problems that I fixed or clarified based on feedback I received. I may not be an expert, but taking the time to write the article, correct it when people pointed out an error, explain when someone thought they found an error that wasn't, and answer questions has given me a much greater amount of expertise than I had before and I'm not sure I could have gotten it any other way.

All that to say, go for it! Don't let your perceived lack of expertise hold you back. You'll find it to be an extremely valuable way to grow.

It's not necessarily the people who can benefit from a trustless network that cloud the ecosystem, it's shady people who want in on the hype solely to make money and apply blockchain to every conceivable use case just for the sake of applying blockchain. It's the kind of people who are an expert on fintech, blockchain, AI/machine learning and IoT all at the same time and seem to use the terms interchangeably.
Using bidirectional off-chain payment channels, you can build trustless payment networks that use Bitcoin as a backend (see "lightning network"). It's almost as good as normal bitcoin, and it's much faster and cheaper. This is perhaps what most transactions will end up using.

I think by autoplaying they starts playing when the page loads. There are a ton of news websites that put an obnoxious ad in the middle of the article.

I am not sure if video ads in the middle of Youtube videos would count. They seem more like TV commercials and seem to bother people less than audio on a page that only needs text.

But ads before videos probably should count.

I have 3 years of experience working in the backend and infrastructure team at an online payments startup. Currently I am attending the Recurse Center, a 12 week self directed program aimed at becoming a better programmer. The program concludes on 10th August, 2017. More about here: https://indradhanush.github.io/tags/#recurse-center

Distributed systems and network programming would be great. But open for anything interesting as well.
I am intrigued by your conspiracy theory and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Why did they want to "specifically exclude Pluto"?

Pluto is notoriously different from the other eight planets, as can be explained in very elementary terms [1]. So, not to open any wounds, but the question is inevitably raised as to whether it is the same kind of "thing" as the other planetary bodies.

There's a sort of a hobbyist/professional split. There's a lot of grey area inbetween, but it's easier to reason about it if you think of two markets. One will pay, one won't if there are acceptable free alternatives. But it turns out that there are rather big synergies to be had from both camps using versions of the same tooling. So you have enterprises that are willing to buy pro versions of tools at prices that subsidize the existence of users at the free tier. That's nothing like the old Borland model that the post I was responding to wants Delphi to go back to.
This misses a large point of the article:

It's not the storage size that is problematic as much as the transfer size. Websites and developers really need to be aware how long it will take for someone to even get your product. If a website doesn't load in X seconds, you're losing Y customers. If your app takes an hour to download, your customer has probably already moved on in frustration.

American cops do it to pad up their arrest numbers

It always throws up a red flag for me when someone asserts that they know the motivations for another's actions.

I make no bones about the claim that many cops are crooked - I've personally been wronged by them, and witnessed it happening to others, to know that's not the case.

But I think that there's an alternative explanation for the kind of dishonesty we're talking about beyond base greed. It seems likely to me that many of these cops really believe that the people they're framing are in the wrong, but that the system has failed. In their minds, that we let people off on a technicality, or prevent the cops from doing the kind of searching that they believe is necessary, proves that the system is standing in the way of effective policing. So they take it on themselves to fix the bug in the system by circumventing those protections.

That's not really the point.

I'm sure whatever the original code is doing could be copied directly, including calling raw assembly code (which optimized codecs often end up doing to micro-optimize as much as possible). You'll just need copious amounts of unsafe code.

But then what's the point? You might as well keep your existing code. I guess it would make sense if you wanted to standardize your cobebase and move everything to Rust, but I doubt that's much of a use case nowadays.

Now if you write a brand new codec it might be interesting to start in safe Rust and once you're ready incrementally add unsafe code where it matters to improve performance while limiting the unsafe code as much as possible. Rust gives you the choice, C is just unsafe by default.

Coders have to write things differently if they want a different result, as should be expected. If the only metric is performance at all costs then assembly beats everything else.

Our core platform utilizes phone sensors and phone data to predict the state of an individual’s recovery in real-time, enabling the right care to be delivered proactively the moment it is needed.

Imagine if you could predict risk factors that lead to regressive behavior, such as when someone is angry; when they are experiencing a craving; when they are not sleeping well; or when they are falling off their continuing care plan. Now imagine doing all of this without self-reported data.

We are building apps on both Android and iOS, a customer-facing web application, a robust web services API, machine learning-driven analytics, and large-scale data processing. Our tech stack includes NodeJS and MongoDB on the backend, Backbone on the frontend, React Native, Swift and Java for mobile, and Python 3 for machine learning.

Here's one take DLT and Blockchain:
https://hbr.org/2017/01/the-truth-about-blockchain

TL;DR, it's gonna take a real long time to make blockchain useful, if it even is.

Further, I have yet to see a real production application of blockchain that isn't a crypto-currency. Everyone and their grandmothers has invested in it, or started a company or w/e. But has it actually been used to solve another problem? Blockchain was the SOLUTION to the PROBLEM of how do I make a cryptocurrency. It now seems that some folks are trying to make a PROBLEM out of a SOLUTION in every other domain.

There's also the speaker and mic, the power and volume buttons, and the toggle switch (mute/rotate/etc).

If they could use identical transducers that perform well as both speaker and mic, then I'm sure the remaining buttons could be made virtual as well (full touch-sensitive sidebars maybe?), although personally I like having certain buttons implemented as physical devices.

Came here to say essentially the same thing. One possibility would be a government mandate that financial transactions are done with a blockchain in order to have transparency. I don't see that as likely though as the use case is pretty tenuous.

>Its just that when something goes wrong, it goes REALLY wrong. That makes more of an emotional reaction in the general public than the scattered and sporadic deaths in other industries, in which there are sadly many, many more.

I don't this explanation really holds true. For example, there is a single failure with a hydroelectric dam [1] that has killed more people than have died as a result of all nuclear-power related deaths, and in more spectacular fashion.

I think it has something to do with the expense and scale of nuclear power, but also something to do with nuclear energy being a thing far outside the natural experience of most people. Nuclear power is also connected to nuclear weapons, which, understandably, has a strong negative connotation to most people.

Better science education might resolve some of the emotional problems connected to nuclear energy.

Even if the tech is "legit" it's encredibly inefficient. We're spewing off tons of CO2 just to verify the block chain, but we have plenty of technologies that can do the same with a minuscule amount of energy.

The problem is that they want a system that's trustless and that's simply not what most engineers care about. We want a system that's fast and efficient.
We have a government where the Department of Energy is run by a climate change denier.

> What's the benefit for Firefox users of including StartCom?

I think there is some benefit to maintaining a healthy ecosystem of multiple competing, independently operated CAs. The benefits of including StartCom are no different from that of any other CA in that regard.

Aside from that though, not much. Although... wasn't StartCom pretty much the only CA offering free DV certs prior to Let's Encrypt? If they're planning to resume offering that or a similar service, that would certainly be a significant benefit to overall security of the web.
I wonder if the only reason we have unrestricted access to good encryption tech now is because politicians don't understand it and underestimated how inconvenient it would be for governments, and are only now realizing their error.
