WFM™ here is survival bias given form. Your system hasn't failed you yet. When it does —because you're human and we make mistakes— you get to lose a digit.

The people saying they "need" this stuff are just saying they see avoidable risk and recognise their bodies are a finite resource worth the expense, even inconvenience of a few extra safety features. We're not talking about using sawstops in isolation.

But anyway, we clearly differ in our approach to risk, or perhaps how we balance our own skills against it. Whatever it is, I don't think I'm going to change your opinion here.

I think we have reached a sufficiently small statement, that all traffic should be treated fairly, that we agree.

But I still don't think it is appropriate or even productively useful for the federal government to mandate this and declare what is fair. And ISPs should have the right to use their position to get payment agreements with:

1. the end consumers,

2. intermediaries, per peer networks--thank you for calling these to my attention, and

3. from the domain of origin if serving that domain from external ISPs incurs a higher than average costs for the local ISP.

National scale network neutrality laws would make 3 very difficult and I absolutely do not think selectively applying 3 to only the flushest companies is wrong.

Why not let cities, who already have to have plans for integrating cable into roadways be the regulatory/ownership entities?

This reminds me of when I was 12 years old, learning to program in BASIC, and my probably 15th program was drawing a star on the screen in ASCII.

I named it *.bas, which the interpreter actually ran despite that being a terrible name for anything.

Yeah, I lost all of the other programs in the directory.

Use backups and source control. Sometimes you need to learn things the hard way, but this one, take it from us. :)
What is the difference between value and leverage on a microeconomic level?

Despite the common notion to "provide more value" to a business if you want a raise, it seems most business people, and thus those responsible for employee raises, conflate value with leverage.

Someone can double their output and easily be denied a raise because they have no leverage. However, if you have leverage but do not increase your output, you can likely get a raise.

So maybe we should nix the old advice about "creating more value" as it's a very confusing and an unclear metric. If businesses see value as leverage, employees should do the same as that's the only way they'll get what they want.

I hope this makes sense, I've been trying to figure out the relationship between value and leverage (at s microeconomic level) and they seem to be almost, if not completely, identical.

Thoughts?

Depends on your views about privacy, tracking, google and mozilla. Also your degree of tolerance.

To me privacy is of vital importance, tracking is to be avoided at all cost, so this is as bad as it can be. But I'm now used to mozilla engaging in tracking, giving away my privacy to google for money and firefox developers punishing users and distros who disabled their included spying tool.

Docker seems like a half-baked half-measure between LXD and Kubernetes. LXD is brilliant for small scale, stateful pet systems, legacy applications with nonrefactorable state, applications that already work well within a Linux distribution (e.g. integrated with systemd), applications incompatible with Docker's overlay network virtualization opinion, and is great in development for developers that are well-versed in the unix-like userland. Kubernetes is the choice for large-scale systems with immutable architecture.
Nice! Have you done any performance comparisons to C++ kiwi?

Question: Any reason you manually added backing fields for properties instead of using private(set) var name: Type, for example? Since the latter has the effect of making it a let property outside of the class (cannot mutate an array exposed like this from the outside, for example).

Show HN: [WebGL Demo] Interactive Mesh Deformation in JavaScript
Not to mention being backed by Open Society. George Soros' hand is everywhere you look.
Hi, this is a demo that me and my friend have worked on for some
weeks. Note that it takes a while to load the demo

In case the demo doesn't run, I have prepared a video of it here(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bykYClXkRg)

This is a demo that implements laplacian deformation in
Javascript. Laplacian deformation is a technique that allows you to
deform an arbitrary mesh as if it were a cloth-like material. In the
demo, you can grab handles on the mesh, and drag them. The vertices of
the rest of the mesh are then smoothly updated, resulting in a
deformation. The deformations produced by this technique tend to look
natural, since the general shape of the mesh is preserved. This kind
of technique is useful in 3D-modeling software.
I keep meaning to do something like this with my Amiga 1000. When I do get around to it, I think I'll do the Serial->PC[1]->Ethernet route as it's easier.

Not mentioned, that I saw, in the article, is the A1000 serial port carries 12v on Pin 23 - which if you are not careful can completely fry anything you connect to it!

This is just anecdotal, but for me productivity in Rust is way higher than C++. Sum types and pattern matching, affine types, the choices made by the standard library, and Cargo all contribute to that.

I suspect once you get your head wrapped around Rust's type system idioms things will get better. I am interested to see how this turns out for people in general, though.
The 500 and 1000 had the same external expansion port, but it was on opposite sides of the machine, so some devices might look funny when installed.

The A500 had also a trapdoor port under the keyboard to double the 512KB of RAM that was on the motherboard already. The A1000 had a clumsy daughterboard you'd have to install inside the case to double the onboard 256KB. Its Agnus controller also had a different packaging from the one on the A500, so it couldn't accomodate the newer Fat Agnus and Super Agnus (1MB or 2MB of audio/video RAM). Without expensive hacks, that is.

The A1000 cost more to upgrade because the daughterboards had lower volume than on the A500. The external expansions cost more, for both computers, because they need a case, plus might need more logic. If 1MB was your target (and not just doubling what came with the machine), then on the A1000 the external port was the easiest. That, surprisingly enough, was also the solution with faster memory speeds. A silver lining. :-)
Could be a variety of reasons, bad design, cross-platform design, ad-supported and tracking you, siphoning your data, lots of graphical element, etc.

facebook apps are good examples of this.

It is interesting that when people say "everything is an expression," they usually seem to mean that "everything evaluates to a value," as a contrast to the expression/statement dichotomy in most other languages. But (summarizing) as far as Common Lisp is concerned, an "expression" is the object of what one expresses.

Let expression1 mean the syntax class of expressions-with-values (like mathematical expressions) and expression2 be the Common Lisp definition. Then it's "in Lisp, everything is an expression2" and "every form is an expression1." This ambiguity might explain the surprise when realizing Lisp in fact has other syntax classes than expression1s.

Heh. I am always amazed to see comments like muppetman's. Why get into technology if you don't like to see things improved?

It reminds me of this bit from Douglas Adams:

"1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.

3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

Often it'll be compatibility with some upstream legacy system which exposes data as CSV or tab delimited, and outputs data like this:

First,Middle,Last
Alice,Q,Foo
Bob,NULL,Bar

In a world like that, some code got written in the wrong tier to output

value.toUpper() == "NULL" ? "" : value

and you wind up with a web form that can't roundtrip a name that contains the word 'null'.
I agree with the sentiment that there are systemic problems. But I disagree with tone of resignation.

> If you try to break it up into multiple Makefiles, you lose all of the benefits of a single connected graph

Only if each Makefile is treated as a separate rule set processed with a separate make invocation.

> Read the article about why recursive make is harmful

That (now) venerable, old paper in fact shows how to break up into multiple makefiles (called "module.mk" in its examples) which are included into one graph.

(It's possible to actually have this file be called Makefile. Not only that, but it's possible to have it so you can actually type "make" in any directory of the project where there is a Makefile, and it will correctly load and execute the rules relative to the root of the tree.)
Not even close to universally true.

Bandwidth is almost always cheaper at a colo. Most compute instances are cheaper to buy and rack if you have continuous loads. Disk ... is tricky.

It is faster and has lower up front costs to get clouds up and running initially. For most startups who are going to fail, that's Good Enough(tm).

If, however, you continue existing for a while, the other things start to add up at much lower levels that you would expect. I'd say the crossover is around when you are spending about $15,000 per year. Your colo is about $10,000 of that per year and you can rack 5 new machines every year for the remaining $5K. That's not that much for an actual business.

Cloud is good for your initial startup and for bursty situations. Once you have continuous loads, you need to be moving to pulling stuff back to your own hardware.
I think you're raising an interesting point, but I disagree with your example - what pain that is so bad its sufferer needs "to lay in bed in agony" can be relieved by ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or any other OTC pain reliever? The Great Binge[0] ended long ago - perhaps for the wrong reasons, but ended nonetheless, until recently when legal opioid prescriptions spiked.

This is about doctors putting their patients at risk in the process of treating them for routine problems which did not result in opioid addiction rates as recently as 25 years ago, and certainly were not prescribed with any other side benefit as far as I've heard.

> everyone must be competitive!

That's far from being even remotely true. The whole point of a liberalized economy is to enable anyone that wants to compete to be able to compete. The state should have no right to stop anyone from competing with any established company and much less so with state-sponsored goods and services.

Whoever wants to do their own thing should simply do their own thing. Anyone who prefers to be an employee and get theirs at the end of the month should also be able to do that, and it's fine too. That's it.

> so incentives for competition must be continuously increased using political means

No, again that's far from being remotely true. The point of competition is that it fosters innovation and is a source of progress. Yet, this only makes sense if the driving force is free will, and any investment is done voluntarily.

If however anyone prefers to simply found a commune and live off communal work then that's fine too. In fact, capitalist free market economies do foster the world's most successful cooperative organizations, such as for example the Mondragon cooperative in Spain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondragon_Corporation

The key factor is free will, and the freedom for anyone to do what they feel like doing.

> Everyone wants to be wealthy,

No, that's not right at all. The point of a liberal economy is that anyone should be free to engage in any economic activity without being sabotaged or hindered by any form of government or state institution. Money is not nor it ever was the driving force behind free market economy. Free enterprise is a synonym of capitalism for a very good reason. Different strokes for different folks, and some folks are happy to just get enough income to live while pursuing an activity that pleases them, even if it is far from being a cash cow or even profitable.

In a nutshell, your arguments are the main problem behind these rabid anti-capitalism nutjobs: they actually don't criticize capitalism, and instead they resort to a massive series of strawmen attacks on imaginary positions that they invented themselves, which have no relation with reality.

You are free to do so.

Choice of battery tech is a big one.

Basically, you can do like Tesla and go with LiCoNiAlO2 to get the highest possible energy density, at the cost of higher internal resistance (i.e. dumping lots of current produces lots of heat).

Or you can do like Formula-E cars (or RC helicopters, drones etc.) and go with LiFePO4 and sacrifice some range for the ability to dump massive amounts of current all the way to empty.

Cooling is fine and dandy, but it's hard to make efficient cooling reach into the internals of batteries. Reducing heat buildup pays greater dividends.

Agree with the sentiment that better battery life is needed.

Disagree with the premise that battery life is suffering due to camera engineering/effort. Battery life could be instantly improved by just making a slightly (in absolute terms) thicker phone. They don't need better battery through chemistry; just the will to be thicker.
"I have the feeling your way of thinking is 'remove every abstraction so that we end up with a simpler system'."

You're certainly right about that:

https://lobste.rs/s/to8wpr/configuration_files_are_canary_wa...

:)

"This works in some cases, but certainly not all of them."

This too I'm totally willing to accept. I believe most abstractions are prematurely frozen and so poorly designed. But this makes me liable to err too far in the other direction.

"configure is one of them. Why? Try removing a configure script for even a simple autotools project, and ensure that it still builds fine on all previously supported platforms by writing a cross platform Makefile. Good luck with that."

Here we part ways. I think `configure` is one of the easiest cases for me to be sure of, and it's because I don't care about "all previously supported platforms". Many if not all of them are obsolete. Also, as rossy pointed out elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15045076), it's impossible to know today if there's a bug in autotools for some rare platform.

We live in a world very different from the one autotools were built for, and it's almost a monoculture at this point. All that crap is utterly unnecessary today. I don't care about building software on all possible platforms, all I care about is building it on this one platform in front of me right now.

The most frustrating thing about autotools is that it's unclear which platform each individual check is concerned with. I have a whole mess of rules from 20 years ago -- and zero rationale for any of the rules. That makes even the few rules that are worth having a net liability because I can't separate them from all the useless ones.

With the truck argument I was just flushing out the analogy, which is a good one. Then, addressing the net neutrality part of the analogy and stating why I opposed the FCC's net neutrality rules: I disagree that it should be regulated at the federal level.

Your whole premise is wrong, because the final decisions were made by humans. But even if they weren't, you're still mistaken. If you write a program to do an important task, it is your responsibility to see that it's both tested and supervised to make sure it does it properly. Google wasn't malicious here, but it was dangerously irresponsible.

I disagree. Android has some problems (updates being one of them) but lots of people love Android because of the ability to customize the OS the way they like, being able to change default apps, access to the file system, etc...

As for Windows, I would say Win 10 is a great OS. Now, is it the best? I don't think in those terms. To me that's an OS that does its job well despite some UI inconsistencies, plus it's compatible with the apps I need.
