Well, we programmers are WRITERS who have to think thoroughly and write very carefully, because our READERS always take our words literally, and we really don't want things to go bad.
That's cool that you can afford $500+ for a phone.

But the rest of us just want to use a phone with a couple apps. We can't afford phones like that, and high market-share apps shouldn't be designed for the top 1% of phones owners.

If Facebook wants people to use their shit, they can't design it solely for early-adopters.
This is how they are adding features to the browser. This is a smart way of doing it. Make it experimental, gauge the feedback, and integrate it if the feedback makes it seem useful.

As an example, they tried vertical tabs, and it appears it didn't work as well as they needed it to be so it has been left out. On the flip side, the empty tab page was also an experiment, and that worked well and made it to the default browser.

These experiments are work on the browser. But instead of adding them as features, introducing them as experiments and then adding the polished, stable, feedback adjusted version as a true feature that can be marketed effectively.

Parsing NES ROM Headers with Nom and Rust
[random advice from the internet]

If your interest is sports science, narrowing the site down to that topic might be a better place to start because building one community at a time allows focusing on getting the details right. StackExchange is a good example. It started with StackOverflow and only later used what it had learned about heavily moderated communities to build other sites.

Good luck.
Well, I can't say that there's anything obviously wrong with the article.

You should be fearful, uncertain and full of doubt about privacy and democracy if you live in the UK.
And those companies really are farming people's data and doing whatever the heck they want with it.
And removing the people's access to private communication in the digital age is both stupid and evil.

There's no bluster and hyperbole, just the sad reality.
I Love the Freelance Life, but It’s Taking a Toll on My Mental Health
This has officially hurtled past joke and into the realm of really frightening. Nobody with even a scrap of power should have skin this thin, not even if they only had that power for less than two weeks. What's worse is this is just a pale reflection of our commander-in-chief, the real nutter.

Thanks in advanced for your time :)
I use that for 2 scenarios:

- to deploy on demand staging or QA environment including its dependencies.

- allow service/infra devs to try services quickly without the need to use Terraform or to buy expensive instances in the first stage of the development.

Restraining order against DocuSign
Yeah, that was pretty tenuous. And assertion that women buy Apple products to deter "romantic rivals from poaching [their] relationship partner" seems almost ridiculous.

I would say that iPhones and MacBooks are almost mass-market these days. Sure, they are more expensive than the alternatives, but they are so ubiquitous that can't really be considered status symbols anymore, can they?

Browser market share in July 2017
Was I the only person who did not understand the draw of Logo as a kid? Having to use it in school made me feel like the world viewed me as a lobotomy victim.

And today, whenever one of these teaching-kids-to-program language/environments comes out, I always wonder, "is a real language really beyond the 8-10 year old's grasp?" More importantly, wouldn't using something real be more interesting to kids? The excitement of computers was, for me, about what you could do with them, and if that meant having to learn some scary looking "computer language" then—By God—I would! And it would be exciting!

The turtle did nothing for me except count the minutes before I could go and do something else. Thankfully we had a public library that had computer books. They weren't the best, but they were about real computer things.

I wish someone had introduced me to Lisp as a child. It's so fundamental. I remember thinking in similar terms, and would have had my mind blown on so many different levels if someone had introduced me to Lisp when I was 8-10, or even younger.
Amazon's role in the oligopoly is running much of cloud computing. It comes down to this:

- Google and Facebook capture all the value in online ads

- Amazon, Google and Microsoft control the cloud

- Apple and Google have a duopoly mobile OS

- Apple and Microsoft dominate desktop OSs (sorry linux bro)

- Facebook essentially controls online political advertising,
and its founder is gearing up for a run at office

Even if the pyramids were made by happy, paid, unionized workers with a good health/mummification plan (which seems a stretch), they were a terrible misuse of resources.

I'm very skeptical of the benefits of lab-grown meat. It might taste the same, but I don't see how it can have all the same nutrition as an actual animal breaking down good plants with a real digestive system.

We hardly know a thing about what's good for our bodies. I doubt scientists will be able to produce a food that won't hurt us somehow in the long run.
Ask HN: Is S3 down?
It's very, very common that if you send an email to the relevant people, they'll sign off on whatever so long as it's not relevant to the business. They don't really want to retain control over your random side-projects.

Google, on the other hand, seems to believe that absolutely everything its employees ever do is relevant to its business.
"I don't really expect the same thing from people should be trying to counter her arguments with facts"

No one cares about facts. "Encryption keeps you safe" is a fact but its a boring one, it won't get shared around on facebook, which means it wont get out to the people who don't know its a fact. When you don't have facts to back you up you can just make up whatever story you want "Encryption kills your kids" will get shared on facebook no worries.

What we do actually matters.

It's estimated that 250,000 people die in America annually because of medical errors. That makes it the #3 cause of death, just behind heart disease and cancer (goo.gl/zntNUd). This is a major societal catastrophe - and it needs to be fixed. Part of the solution is the long-overdue modernization of our nation's health IT infrastructure. This is CareEvolution's mission - to create better patient outcomes by modernizing - and connecting - our health IT systems.

There are many interesting things to do at CareEvolution, including mobile, web, platform, integration, devops, analytics, ETL... and lots more. This is a place where you help define what it is you want to do, and how to help the world.

We're a small team - still under 100 people (and all technical!) - but our platform manages health data for over 130 million people.

Reading through this link, I like that the author/presenter is trying to relate things to what the kids experience. That said, it still felt a bit all over the place. That's OK, of course, as I wouldn't expect much more than to pique the interest of the children, inviting them to explore a bit on their own later.

My five year old is starting to understand a bit about programing and computers, and we enjoyed going through the following book:
https://usborne.com/browse-books/catalogue/product/1/9570/li...

It's a pretty good basic introduction, in my opinion. It doesn't get too complicated, either, presenting different types of computers, the basics of binary numbers, input and output, and also has online resources available as supplement. If you can find a copy at your local library (which is where we picked it up), give it a look-see.

What I think is potentially more interesting is the anti-consumer behaviors of Amazon in what I call the Amazon/Google cold war over video:

- Amazon not allowing the sale of chromecast

- Amazon keeping its instant video app off generic android TV devices for a long time, even though they had an app that worked with the Sony android TV.

- Amazon using its instant video app as a trojan horse to get you to install the Amazon app store on your Android phone. (and weakening your phone's security, due to having to "allow unknown sources"
Everyone keeps saying this, and it's probably true. What I don't get is... why the hell these libraries everyone is using don't support MODULAR compilation. Why are they including stuff people aren't using?

I'm not an app developer. But I've known about libraries that section off lesser used code as "addons" since... well... since I started programming. This seems so fundamental I don't understand why everyone isn't doing it. Especially considering the gains are far greater in the mobile and web world than desktop.
Being able to have non-symmetric disk topologies with redundancy. I believe that md raid does not support that, while btrfs multi-device does (which is what I think of as one of the really unique features of btrfs -- not even ZFS can handle the sort of disk topologies that btrfs can).
I own an Apple watch, and I would agree with those sentiments..two years ago. Ever since watchOS 2 none of those things are really true anymore.

Text entry modes now include voice, quick replies, and simple glyph drawing. The speed of the gen 2 apple watch is pretty awesome, and with the advent of the "dock" you can have all your third party apps open instantly (up to 10, which for me covers everything I use on the watch.) Lots of iOS apps actually include a watch app, you would be surprised.

As a developer, it still annoys me because there are so many limitations. Complications on the watchface can essentially only be text or fixed images included in your app bundle. So nothing truly dynamic. Watchfaces still aren't open, likely just so they can control branding (Hermes for example.)

Personally I look at it like this, the apple watch is a fitness tracker, a notification machine, and a secondary display for the iPhone, in that order. If you don't want the first two, then you don't want an Apple Watch.
I use FF only because of extensions right now.
That seems like a No True Scotsman :)

If non-fashion, non-mass market brands targeted at the mid and high tiers of in-house haute horlogerie don't constitute "real watches" for you, what does? Your comment reads like I mentioned the widely recognizable "status" brands like Rolex and Tag Heuer. Nomos (entry-mid) and Lange (high-ultra high) are two of the most well-respected watch houses in the world right now, and probably the most well-respected from Germany (as opposed to Switzerland).

You're right that I'm a "gadget guy", though. I just appreciate both, and my original point is the Apple Watch's raw utility is capable of displacing my passion for mechanical timepieces and their craftsmanship.

I often leave comments exactly like the one you replied to, so while I'm not the person you replied to, I might as well be.

HN loves to hate Apple and everything they do, and the Internet as a whole loves to hate Apple. Going back to the infamous "less space than a Nomad, no wifi, lame" comment. Now to be sure, there are tons of us who like Apple products, but there are a lot of loudmouths who need to shout from the rooftops that this Apple product isn't targeted at them and that's why it will fail. Is it the majority? No, far from it. That's why Apple products are almost always huge successes. Most of their customers actually like them.

But every thread about the iPhone you have people who feel the need to explain why they'd never buy one because they need a headphone jack. Every thread about the iPad you have people who need to tell you that an Android tablet is cheaper, but people don't need tablets and the fad is wearing off. Every thread about the Macbook someone has to say how the XPS is a better value for the money and actually has function keys.

So when you hear someone like me or the person you responded to saying "nerds love to hate Apple", it's hyperbole. Nerds love to love Apple just like everyone else in the world and that's why they make a shitload of money every quarter. Internet loudmouths love to hate Apple, and unfortunately Internet loudmouths are the ones who get upvotes. So it gives the impression that nerds hate Apple, which leads other people to think "hey maybe I should hate Apple too" and makes news sites run stories about how nerds hate Apple's latest products.

It's not true, but that's the impression you'd get if you read HN or /r/technology.
The comment thread seems to suggest that even if you define the behavior you can still optimize that case, and in fact Clang does.
I appreciate it I'm gonna try it soon

The real fools are the journalists who uncritically parrot these bogus valuations. Every so often someone will write a good analysis like this one, but next week the headlines and buzz will be some other bullshit valuation.

Come to think of it, is there anything of significant nuance that journalists do get right?
> But there are plenty of assholes out there that abuse "free speech".

Yes. That's why free speech was created. To protect the "abusers". This is something you learn in your first year of college. At least I did. As my jewish philosophy professor said, free speech rights that doesn't protect neo-nazi speech is worthless. Think about it? What use is free speech rights if it doesn't protect "offensive speech". We wouldn't need it if free speech only protected "acceptable speech".

> There's a difference between defending a controversial point of view and telling people to kill themselves and simply slinging slurs and insults.

Not really. If you believe in free speech. If you were correct, atheists who insult the religious would be banned. The civil rights movement that insulted racists would have been banned.

> Generally, reddit tries to allow free speech while keeping out the assholes

It really doesn't. Reddit is an openly hyperliberal free speech.

> whereas Voat let the assholes have free reign.

Absolutely. Voat is where the rightist assholes reign free. Reddit is where the leftist assholes reign free.

That is the problem you get when you don't have free speech. You get echo chambers.

The only people who defend reddit are the hyperliberal people with an agenda. Just like voat is filled with hyperconservatives.

If you don't like voat, you really shouldn't like reddit either. They are fundamentally, the same kind of anti-free speech madness. Unless you have a bias and a hatred for free speech.

At least in Germany lying in the CV is considered as a very serious issue. What you called "barely 100% correct" would thus probably be called "fraud" in Germany.
At least at Google, most people viewed it as a part of your compensation. Similar to a raise. It was done every year, and you'd eventually have several overlapping GSUs at once. It was almost more a reward for tenure than anything else.

The thing that kept people around was the annual bonus. It was always interesting to see who quit the day after the bonus was paid.
There was a complaint in this thread that it isn't peer-to-peer, which is...kinda weird. Requiring that your recipient have the device they want to receive it on running at this very moment is kinda a non-starter for a file sharing tool, IMHO. Doing that without it being a Mozilla-hosted app isn't really a thing I'd care about. P2P is neat, but it's not a very good user experience, especially for non-technical users.

Check out Mattuck's Introduction to Analysis.

Analysis is basically "really rigorous calculus". Basic analysis courses are also usually where you learn to do proofs.

(To some reasonable generality "calculus" stands for "rules of manipulation", while analysis is the mathematical theory of calculus. So I can teach you stochastic calculus in a couple of two-hour sessions but understanding what the hell is going on (stochastic analysis) requires measure theory, some functional analysis and much courage)

This phenomena seems more like, uhh, forgetting that lots of people haven't built the mental framework that makes things obvious to you. Not sure how else to describe it. Like, it'll just assume a lot of detailed knowledge as just something that everyone easily gets, and the very specific system they built on top of it is the only thing that needs to get documented.

For all that I love Datomic, their docs are a particularly egregious example of this, IMO. See: http://docs.datomic.com/query.html

I've felt like vegetarian hot dogs tasted the same (indistinguishable) or better as regular hot dogs for a while now.

I'm a little more skeptical of "pork" substitutes simply because lard makes everything taste better. Split pea soup vs split pea soup with coppa. Regular pie crust vs lard crust. Plain pizza vs with prosciutto. Risotto vs risotto w pork fat (or goose fat). For all of these there's no contest (for me).

Take phone as example: You almost only have two main options for a smart phone OS here: iOS (+ Apple) and Android (+ Google).
I should have thought of this. It all comes down to avoiding taxes.
I'd say it's a bit of an optical illusion that we even think of Apple being in the same class as Microsoft for desktop OSs. Isn't it something roughly like 90/10 in Windows' favor?

> Who freezes ground beef before turning it into a world-class hamburger? What's the best frozen hamburger I can buy?

I do, because I'm not a restaurant, and I don't buy enough meat for one or two servings of hamburger. If a restaurant's been around long enough and has enough turn over, they won't have my problem, but a place could want to freeze for time reasons, or to help with getting a gnarly crust by cooking it from frozen, etc. If you're freezing with the kind of thing the NYC sushi guys use (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/nyregion/sushi-fresh-from-...), and defrosting properly, a truly great hamburger could easily be made from a frozen patty.

I've never heard of a good prefrozen hamburger patty unless you're getting something from Snake River Farms or something along those lines (they ship frozen meat). I freeze my own.
I do think it's a fight to the death for container orchestrators. The configuration files required to run complex auto-scaling systems can add up (and require DEEP understanding of all the systems involved and how they interact with each other) - Most developers don't want to have to do it for more than one orchestrator; especially since there is no straightforward migration path from one orchestrator to another.

Also, learning different orchestrators is a lot of work. Sure, maybe Mesos does more than just schedule containers, but that doesn't matter because a standardized orchestration platform is the main thing developers need right now - For orchestration to become truly standardized, there needs to be a single big majority winner.

It reminds me of the Minix vs Linux debate in the early days of operating systems; Minix was modular (microkernel) while Linux was monolithic. The reason why Linux won is because it provided a single consistent standard platform on which to build and configure applications. I think the same is going to happen here and I think that Kubernetes or Swarm are better placed in that regard.
