The definition of this as an "echo chamber" is itself a value judgment that denies fair debate. Is Qt better? Can it deliver better outcomes with more tooling flexibility? I think not.

While someone else labors for something "slow and clean" to invert your analogy, Electron itself is improving. And many electron apps can be cleanly hosted on a browser environment, which further puts them out of reach.

What's interesting to me is that for every successful cross-platform app I can name, it has a custom UI (and in some cases custom runtime) engine around it. That's great if you have the engineering capacity to swing it. I'm not sure many do.

I wish we had a great, open source cross platform GUI toolkit that didn't mandate the use of C++. I don't think it's easy to suggest using C++ is reasonable for the vast majority of app devs. It's increasingly specialist even in its main domains.

And I'm not in that "let's use JS" echo chamber. Look at my submissions to see where my affiliations lie. I just cannot deny those folks can pull off better looking, better specified, and more accessible products for a fraction of the total effort.overrides this. I refuse to handwave that away.
It's not either or. The optimal solution is a phone that has a touchscreen and a keyboard. I had a HP Veer, and that one was way better for typing than all smartphones I ever had.

Touchscreens suck for typing. A smooth glass surface without haptic feedback can never be an optimal solution for that. It is only better for pure media consumption, if having only a touchscreen means having a bigger display.
Soviets attacked Poland few days after Nazis and split it exactly as described in peace treaty you mention. Soviets later rolled through Baltic states, Bessarabia and attacked Finland. Exactly as agreed in said peace treaty. While Nazis did their part of the deal in the West.

A big part of Soviet deaths were thanks to utter mismanagement and not paying much attention to human life. Even catastrophes like Leningrad siege may have been avoided (or at least greatly reduced) if Soviets were more humane.

It's a shame to humanity to call USSR a victim of WW2. Not only they started it, but they also took home the most. For a half of Europe, WW2 ended only after the fall of Iron Curtain. After nearly 3 decades, the division is still huge. It will take a long time to get rid of USSR legacy.

I thought the same thing! Small design agencies could justify investing time and effort to craft resources like this as it signaled craft and quality. Facebook doesn't really have any justification, they're only doing it because that spirit lives on in those acquired by the beast.
Putting product in charge of engineering instead of making is a partnership.

Then not holding product accountable for an inspired roadmap that is delivered 2 months into the half.

My team is working way below peak efficiency for 4 months a year as a result. The engineers are super unhappy about this but there is "nothing to be done" according to my boss and his bosses boss.
A bit of discussion on that article here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15039460
Agreed. Note that the update mechanism in itself involves microcode to operate on the blob.
Can anyone at Apple comment on the perception of Cook inside the company? He seems like a fairly inspiring leader to me, considering his position on LGBT issues, the FBI decryption incident, and now this. I don't work for him, though, and I'd be interested to hear from someone who does.
Thanks to the very absence of Javascript from this site, people can post here even if they have 4MB of RAM. And that is a very good thing.
Meetings - I think anytime someone mentions they won't be able to get things done because of meetings, they should reassess if the meeting is needed at all.
YouTube channels definitely have communities, but that doesn't mean that the community interacts purely through the YouTube comment section -- mainly because Google has managed to make said comment system worse and worse over time.

Often the community itself communicates over Reddit or some similar platform that is much better for communication, but the community itself was created around a particular video site (and channels on said video site). If YouTube had a better way of having discussions, it would likely be much a much better service.
Refreshing to see software devs moving to average cities rather than the typical SF, NYC, Seattle, etc. Impressed by the "300 miles of all-purpose hiking and biking trails." I enjoy reading posts like this.
How about you you go back and reassess your bad previous assumption about what book I was referring to. I'm not into conspiracy stuff at all and don't understand how you think a crackpot book about 9/11 is relevant to this thread at all. IMO you're trying to find reasons to vilify me because I'm expressing a dissenting opinion.
Wow, that's actually remarkable. I've already been really impressed by Spotlight - where Windows search is slow, unreliable, and constantly shows me ads, Spotlight is fast and almost never misses. But some actual control over what I'm getting from it looks fantastic.
Prop 13 makes houses a net negative on city budgets, so there is a financial incentive for cities to reject new housing units, while encouraging development of hotels and commercial properties which are net positives.

Prop 13 also induces people to not sell their property, or convert properties into more units like you, so there are less available units on the market, which increases prices even further.

For example go look at SF or LA vs Miami on Redfin and see the stark difference in how many units are for sale at one time.

Higher property taxes encourages people to sell their properties if it's not economically worth it anymore to hold the property and give it to people who would actually use it. And it also encourages them politically to build more housing so their property tax bill does not go up too much.
Total non-sequitur, but here's a great example of the problem with AMP. Instead of linking to slate (the original source), dragonwriter linked to google. Slate loses a backlink, and I can't even tell who the publisher is without following the truncated URL.
Mostly, access to new apps and security updates.

But you've got a point about newer apps becoming more demanding of the CPU. Ideally, this trend continues to slow down (Moore's law is essentially over) and software engineers start to find ways to do more with less. There's plenty of room to optimize most software out there, but historically very little incentive to do so. That's changing, or it should.

In the meanwhile, an expensive long-lasting phone should make it possible to upgrade the CPU and/or GPU in a phone for a fraction of the price of the whole phone, so that the phone can be used at its full potential for its complete lifetime. A similar provision applies to batteries, which usually die after a couple of years and would need to be replaced once or twice during the lifetime.

Frankly, I haven't been able to keep a phone long enough for the software to become obsolete because the hardware breaks after 1-2 years. So I want Essential to succeed. A long-lasting phone made with durable materials and with many years of guaranteed software updates is the product we need, if someone dares to make it.
Does anyone have suggestions for underrated (or upcoming) cities with a lot to offer and moderate real estate?

> I feel like there might a tremendous amount of tension in the economy that isn't as visible as one might hope.

Seattle, by any number of metrics, is one of the Boomtowns in America today.

But when you walk down almost all the major streets, there are usually at least one boarded up storefront. House prices are > 10x annual US median salary, and 5-7x the median Seattle salary. Homeless people are everywhere downtown. The "family size" apartments are nearly non-existent until you get a solid 30+ minutes away (everything is being aimed at rich people or young singles); single family houses are (comfortably) priced to people with a solid 200k+ combined salary (you CAN stretch it of course, but memories of prior bubbles suggest stretching it on living situations is a poor choice). This isn't making sense: it does not seem sustainable as a system.

Haven't dug into the numbers for Seattle, but the blue collar factories in the US etc are being pinched by a lack of entrants: no one wants to work for $12/hr and be at the bottom of the totem pole, but the employers claim they can't pay more. I read newspaper stories about this periodically.

Structurally, of course, there is significant financial inequality between municipalities/states/cities and more rural areas, and the concentration of wealth (jobs, culture, hope) in these metro areas is generating salt lake effects in many rural areas.

I think there's a definite snapping point in the economy that the current direction doesn't seem to be changing. I think, frankly, the US economy has metaphorical 'toxic' areas that haven't been honestly addressed and it's generating a lot of resentment.
Cool! Inspiring, I've been looking for something to build in rust and it looks like I found what's next! I've already made a TI-BASIC minesweeper on a graphing calculator, so logic won't be that big of an issue.
> There is no concept of time in pure functions.

Very true, but there is a fundamental concept of time, almost by definition, in game-worlds.

Whereas in imperative programming it's true that one actor always arrives first in computation, he might not have arrived first "in the game": conflict resolution is still a necessity.

As such I don't think this is a problem that only occurs in functional programming.

It's my impression that it's the events up to any conflict are much cleaner to express functionally.
I had to ban all Tor exit node IP's from my service because of a single bad actor causing problems for a large group of people on a small service I maintain.
> I'm not sure how you assumed that one.

Because you just mentioned the title and that's what popped up.

> I mean the currently bestselling:

That it is bestselling does not make it true and that particular author has a stench around him you can smell from a mile away. The last thing I'll do is send the cretin my $.

Ironically, and I'm saying this without having read the book as you already know, but I would not be surprised if for once the title actually accurately conveyed the contents of the book.
I rode the light rail from east side to downtown every day for two years. It's dirty. West side to downtown may be another story.
Totally agree. Censorship advocates are exercising the same flawed logic as those pushing the war on drugs. New day, different target, that's all.
There's a difference between iterating based on community feedback, and "iterating" based on artificial requirements not defined by the community.
Speaking of moving - a downside of prop 13 is that people used to upgrade / downgrade their houses. Have kids? Get a little bigger house. Retire? Downsize.

So now people buy in and don't move.

And while I want to publicly acknowledge Apple Find my Phone lead to the arrest of the attacker and recovery of my stolen vehicle, I know HN is the one place I could turn to get a push to bring the duress code (thanks for the terminology) to the attention of the public and phone manufacturers/software developers.

that is not very clear, since "communism" can mean many different rhings. And in the way of Pol porlt and co. it was clearly linked to violence
It's great to see some competition in this space. Big fan of both Code Climate and Codacy. I like Landscape too but it's a bit more niche.

One thing I'd like to see from Codacy is a comparable level of open source as Code Climate which lets users run the full platform locally in Docker containers through a CLI.

It reminds me of something I read about the search for what we would now call "violations of conservation of energy". Scientists kept coming up with more experiments to try to show this phenomenon, but none of them worked. Eventually they were forced to conclude that that's just the way it is:

"A perfect conspiracy is a law of nature."
The example given at the emit conference was: You have a lot of code running in AWS, but all of a sudden, you would like to start using some nice features around google ML, and for this you need integration with google cloud.

Over a longer period, the idea is that there is an oligopoly of PaaS providers and if their features don't match 1:1 perfectly, your business may need a hybrid approach.
I'v seen this extensively in multiple upper-middle income communities on the east coast. Houses that have tripled in relative value force their now retired owners to sell because they can't afford the higher property tax. Developers can buy above market because they demo the house and put down 2 houses that each sell for 75% the original home's value.

This scales for quite a long time, and is generally how suburbia transforms into, well, east San Jose.

It's not that homeowners make rational choices as a result, it's that over time they are pushed out and the rational choice is made by the larger market.
For those that might not know WebRender is the project to merge the Rust-based parallel GPU-based web rendering backend from the experimental Servo browser with Firefox. This should ultimately result in greatly improved rendering speed for Firefox.
To be fair, you would also not say “My favorite subjects are games”; there’s only one subject, called “games”, even though the word “games” is a plural form of “game”.

I can’t really come up with a situation where you would want to refer to multiple “mathematicses”; it kind of just is something ethereal, not a _thing_ where it makes sense to refer to one or many.
Great question - we believe there are a lot of potential add-on modules, especially around building control. One that is gaining a lot of interest recently is using people-counting data to more precisely control HVAC systems (most systems today rely on simple motion sensing for control).

Modulating heating / cooling based on the exact count can help cut energy consumption, sometimes by as much as 30% for commercial buildings.

ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency) recently put out a proposal for such a system - you can read more here if you're interested:

In terms of arithmetic mean, Imgur submissions do have a higher score (about 20%), but there are a lot of confounding variables in play.
Is it? I need my phone to do three things:
1) Make and receive calls & texts.
2) Run a small number of ubiquitous apps (maps, ride hailing)
3) Not get hacked at DEFCON.

Phones with the Apple logo on the back do this job best. Their security posture is just so much better and you don't have carrier-enforced forced obsolescence from the software side. You literally can always run the latest iOS until the hardware _just can't_.

I'm an open source guy only as much as it makes sense.
Can you point to any writeups about this? The cost is low enough that I could just try it myself, but I do have one question about "controller support." I play PC Racing sims - I wonder about the support for wheel/pedals.

I'm assuming VR is out of the question due to the latencies.
A particular hatred of mine are "load-under" images. You know, the ones designed to look like a cutaway into the page, so you load 1000 pixels of height, but see a sliding 400 pixels of the image as you scroll.

It's like a microcosm of everything wrong with modern web design. It's wasteful on data, wasteful on memory, obscures useful information (like the actual picture), and actively distracts from the surrounding text. But it looks fancy, so it's not going anywhere.

I learned SAS in college and 15 years later I'm still using it, so it's become pretty natural to me. It's not particularly fun to learn, though, I agree. The lack of a modern editor kind of sucks too. You're not going to get hints, code completion and linting. You do get a feel for the madness when you work on a mainframe implementation, though - all of a sudden, the PROC syntax starts to make sense. I'm not going to lie, though, I do most/all data manipulation and ETL ops in PROC SQL. The only time I touch the DATA step is when I need to loop. It does have really good Teradata integration, though, and that's really important for most of my use cases.

That said, the one language that's gotten me away from SAS is Python. It's nice to have a general purpose language with so much community support, packages, etc. And I don't need to call an account rep if I need to extend functionality. Budgets aside, SAS is seriously messy when it comes to its modules.

My wife is a dietitian and we gave our first daughter peanut butter (natural, no sugar added) starting at 6 months. The only other concern with PB is choking hazard, so we just spread it really thin on toast or crackers. At 6-9 months, they usually just suck on food or handle it. Rarely do they get a ton down anyways.
The thing that's interesting about Haskell is that lazyness had a payoff of leading to the discovery of monad-based IO [1].

Two things:

1. the largest part of the work on the "major rewrite" - do you mean quantum or servo? If the former, most of the bits we really care about will get shipped on Nov. 14th, and some other things like webrender will get shipped over the winter.

If you mean servo, you're right, that is a longer-term strategic project, but has recently provide useful as a source for innovation in Gecko with things like stylo and webrender, and especially Rust's capabilities as a language.

2. Mozilla is self-funded and has a very different governance model than perhaps you're used to - we are a US Corp ( and subsidiaries ) owned entirely by a US-based Not-for-profit.
I can't speak much for OpenShift.io, which is a different product and as another commenter mentioned is just one way to work with OpenShift, with added team-based features on top of OpenShift.

For instant Online hosted access, our Pro tier will immediately allow you to create an account if you sign up today. On our Starter (free) tier we are working hard to provision as many new user accounts as we can (this week we were able to allow in 2,000 new users). Both of these are accessible at openshift.com

And of course, there is the possibility of hosting your own OpenShift cluster for free (the project is open source), which was more my intention of recommending a kubectl wrapper for the above poster.

Video playback has actually worked quite well for me on the official reddit app, along with Alien Blue. What have you seen?
> We are disgusted, angered, and appalled by everything these racists stand for and do.

Let's back up a second.

What's the mapping of online avatars on that site to human beings?

If it's 1:1 then I should continue reading Tor's statement.

1:1-times-N for any N other than 1 is quite unlikely so we can throw out that possibility.

1-times-N:1 for N = 10 or even N = 20 are likely and cheap. An echo chamber of ten racists doesn't warrant a response from Tor, while an echo chamber of hundreds might.

1:N:1 for N = 20+ is possible especially by state actors. A small group of paid scammers simulating activites of 1000+ racists is enough to cause noticeable social disruption.

So the next question is: does Tor devbase have a way to map medusa heads to torsos?

I think the answer is "no". Not only for Tor, but also Wall Street Journal, Breitbart News, The Guardian, and possibly even Reddit, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.

If I'm right about that, then I read Tor's statement as essentially eating the cost of having no way to effectively separate signal from noise and simply rolling up their sleeves and treating all noise as potential signal. That's as wasteful as it was in the 90s & early 2000s to simply eat the cost of reading everything in the email inbox and deleting the spam manually. But here it's more than loss of productivity-- its potentially confusing a large portion of reality with a simulation. And unlike the widespread cynicism that came with tv broadcast, people seem to have convinced themselves that social media and random sites/comment sections are an earnest and democratic reflection of some meaningful segment of the general population.

I hear the AWS argument quite a bit, but am not quite sure if the costs of AWS vs. independent infrastructure have been appropriately analyzed by the person making the accusation, in many cases. Independent infrastructure ages and requires updating as time goes on. Amazon normalizes those costs and provides the billed entity with semi-predictable costs on an ongoing basis. Keep in mind the costs of power, cooling, and bandwidth as well.
Apps do get updates, but they aren't the issue. The system/kernel/system libraries don't get updates and if they are compromised all your apps are compromised too.
If someone know a vulnerability only in a normal app he can't do anything but look at only this one app, with system access well he can do way more.

(Also Android got some additional security/privacy features after Android 4)
