The Problem with Internet of Things You Don’t Want to Think About
The field of application for SPAs is VAST - and (thanks, perhaps, to an ongoing obsession with the fragmented, resource-starved visual poverty of the mobile web) miserably underexploited.

A single page application is a good choice where interactive graphics are generated server-side (typically from a simple and tiny JSON configuration file), but finely manipulated (through selections and transitions) in a web browser.

Applications built using modern data-driven libraries have access to class and id values across the entire graphical structure, allowing exceptionally fine-grain selections, which can be grouped according to user's needs. These are the basis for spectacular and visually liberating transformations.

For example, for timeline-based, event-driven applications, GUI events can be grouped according to whether dynamic (timeline-driven) or static (hover-over / property interrogation) mode, allowing -overall- a much greater event handling density.

Using modern programming techniques, literally thousands of model configuration variants can be derived from one generic tool visualization base. For application areas with many classification families, this implies many thousands of unique models, but also (often the only workable solution) open-source / community-driven provisioning.

Generated on the server and presented on the client in either SVG or WebGL forms, each and any of these can be instantly and automatically hooked up with the timeline, sharing consistency, styling and timing with all other animations.

Visualizations can be literal (structurally redundant or abstract, as with SVG) or figurative (ad-hoc, drama based as in WebGL).

A compelling aspect of domain-wide SPAs is their ability to act as an integration stack for (otherwise standalone) artificial and machine intelligence solutions.

They may also build on off-site synergies, such as timeline-synchronized video or the psychophysics of visual processing, adding other intriguing visual dimensions or feedback channels.

Configuration preferences can be aggregated to define menu preferences and indeed entire online environments, which in turn can be one-click shared with others, providing the basis for globally-available information exchange platforms.

The linchpin in all this? Intimate data/DOM bindings, a.k.a. 'ditch MVC'.

My feeling is that as mobile bottlenecks are eliminated, graphics-rich SPAs are set to be the next great driver of user expectations.

All that and not a single example? Clearly didn't read the question :-)

As for AA batteries, they have been around since 1907 (though the size was not formally standardized until after WWII).

I wouldn't be surprised if they were still around in a few decades' time - there's simply too much cheap consumer electronics out there relying on AA for it to make sense to introduce a new standard. (Energy density is likely to keep increasing - but as for the form factor itself, I suspect it will outlive me.)

None of them have free credit cards.

Santander, Barclay, Hanseatic, Targo, DKB, Comdirect, ING-Diba, Consors, Wüstenrot, Noris, and N26 require that you have at least 600€ each month of movement via the bank account, or at least 1200€/year via the card.

I’ve tried getting a card from all of them. All of them refused, as I’d not use them enough.

> If yours does not

I’m a customer at 2 major national german banks (postbank and commerzbank), and a local one, none of them (or their subsidiaries, such as comdirect) offer this.

I just want a credit card, I’ll use it at most once a year, for at most 100 bucks. That is not available from any bank.

The only offer that exists even similar in cost is the old MyWirecard offer, and they closed my account due to not using it enough.
The term "attendants" didn't come from anyone joking around in this thread. The linked USPS information page uses the word because it's what beekeepers call them:

> Monday morning myth: attendants must be removed from queen cages

> Many beekeepers believe that you must remove attendant bees from queen shipping cages before you introduce a caged queen into a hive. They believe the queen will more likely be killed by the receiving hive if both the attendants and the queen have a foreign odor.

> This simply is not true. If you install the caged queen properly, the attendants will cause no problem. Before long the queen’s pheromone will circulate throughout the hive. All the bees—as well as the attendants—will then smell the same.

Yes. Hell yes. Basically identical velocities. Signal to noise ratio issues will do in this idea long before relativity has any sort of impact; it's not even close.
> make a write-only backup of your encryption keys every day and only keep the backups for a week (or a month, or whatever the legal requirement is).

A month would be better than a week, but it still allows a situation where the wrong user account is accidentally deleted and the mistake is not noticed for a more than month.

I think the best approach is for the EU regulation to give the company 90 days to delete the user's data. The company can then just have a cron job to delete older backups. Simple.

Gene editing beyond treating diseases quickly boils down to doing animal experiments on humans. Imagine that the gene editor made a mistake and now the test subject is missing the left ear. How do you deal with these "defects"? Of course! By putting them to sleep like regular lab animals.

Of course there is nothing inherently wrong about doing experiments on humans but the problem is you now need to justify that gene editing is good and eugenics is bad, that the test subjects do not need basic human rights and therefore can be disposed when convenient.
Fun, albeit sad fact: In Norway, 99% (quite literally, not exaggerating) of bookstores are owned by the various publishing houses.

They've pushed an eBook standard where you buy a dedicated reader, then buy proprietary memory cards in sleeves much like the ones used for compact cassettes - the idea being that people want something tangible, even when buying eBooks. (The cynical among us assume they just invented that tangible bit to have people still come to tangible bookstores, but that is another story)

It has not turned out to be a massive success. Cough.

Although every police officer involved in this said that the ridiculous orders came from high up.

I agree with that, but a company that does business in Romania (my country) but instead pays all of its related taxes in Ireland (as Google does) is causing my country not to provide school buses and the like (that and endemic corruption, but that's another issue). I was regarding the EU as a bigger political-economic union, more like the United States, I'm pretty sure that inside both of Ireland and Netherlands both of their governments are interested in re-distributing the taxes they collect from business-activities carried out all over Europe.
Indeed. Google has the power, and that excuse that Android is open source and therefore Google can't impose anything on OEMs is getting a little old and tired.

If Google would have promoted Android the way it did with Chrome OS (and the open source Chromium OS), it wouldn't be in this situation, and we'd be getting updates often. But I guess hindsight is 20/20. I still wish they did more about the support of Android devices throughout the ecosystem, not just for the highest-end devices.

No, What I said is, monopolies can exist for a short time in a free-market system. But they live much longer in state controlled-restricted markets. And I doubt there is any example in History a real monopoly lived as long as patent expiration time (no, Standard oil was not a monopoly.) even in a "mostly" free market economy. Examine the Phoebus cartel for an example. Patents are indefensible in my eyes after witnessing the damage it gave to the development of human kind (pharmaceuticals, tech, software etc.). Besides, IP rights is only one of state's monopoly generation tools.

Perhaps my wording was not correct. What I mean by "forced redistribution" is getting money from producers by force (via taxation) and distributing it to a arbitrarily selected people. This is required in all forms of Socialism and it violates the rules of free market (capitalism).

I read the studies he cited and I'm not sure we can conclude anything from them. As far as I can tell, "bug density by language" is not a thing you can measure in a meaningful way. It depends on the specific programmers at a specific point in their career, their skill level, domain knowledge for the project, scope of project, who the project manager is, their culture of testing, etc. For example a great JavaScript programmer will make a less buggy program than a mediocre c++ programmer.

There is no silver bullet, though the article tries to pass off TDD as one. Also he does concede that static types can power tooling that might "feel like they make us more productive".

Disclaimer: I prefer having types but I also think JavaScript is great and don't shy away from using it.

I went into their simulator and asked it for the square root of 2. Answer: 1.414214 (yup, just 6dp). Then I asked for the square of that: Ans^2. Answer: 2.000001.

Ask HN: I upset almost everyone when I talk. Courses?
I upset my peers almost every time I open my mouth. It holds me back in every area of my life, especially in the workplace, but curiously not when I meet new people, where I can be very charismatic and charming.

I've been called 'abrasive' more times than I care to admit. I tend to appeal to logic rather than emotion, and upset people. I don't mince my words, for which I'm seen as rude. I expose workplace flaws quite vividly (so they can be addressed), which is often taken as criticism. Most interactions I have (especially recently at work) leave me feeling depressed - like anything I do or say to try to improve things will be negatively received.

I've tried reading books on the subject of people (for example How To Win Friends and Influence People) but none have changed my life. Running low on ideas and fed up with the situation, I am now here, proactively seeking help.

I'd do anything to escape this prison. Does anyone have any books, courses, resources or advice that might help me?

I don't think that's the fault of JavaScript - it does not specify the event loop itself. ES6 has generators, so all you need is an enqueue(fn*(){}). There's already an enqueue in the browser - setTimeout(), and one in node - nextTick(), so all the functionality you need is there.

> I don't doubt that strong type systems can catch bugs, I am wondering how their capabilities in catching bugs differ from test suites.

Type systems and test suites are complementary. When a test suite finds a bug, that proves that the program is incorrect for some inputs. When a type system doesn't reject a program, that proves that the program is correct for all inputs.

Which one to use depends on the impact of an error. In the case of a system that controls lots of money, you'll want a guarantee that all inputs lead to a correct balance. That suggests to use a type system.

On the other hand, if you're just writing an app to get data from a website and display it, you can probably afford it if the program doesn't work in some cases. If you can write a generator for realistic input, and check the output, that will give you a probabilistic estimate of correctness.

The main advantage that test suites have over type systems is the kind of properties they can easily check. If you have a test suite that only checks that the output values have the right structure (EDIT: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15137691 points out that part of the Lisk test suite does exactly that), you'd probably benefit even from the C type system. But to formalize the correctness of values, for many programs you'd need a much more powerful type system e.g. using dependent types, that isn't quite so simple to use as writing the equivalent test.

I think a good compromise would be a language that allows you to annotate your types with arbitrary properties, but doesn't complain if it can't type-check them, so long as you write a test. (But it should complain when it can prove that the properties never hold, e.g. using success types, so that you don't waste time writing a test for that.)

It's economics, sure. I don't know what qualifies as a "market" here, though. There aren't standard shares of "lobbying" that people buy and sell.

The name might be slightly misleading (InterPlanetary FileSystem) but IPFS has more functionality that just hosting files. Two that comes to mind is pubsub which enables you to have a distributed publish/subscribe network to send messages globally and "dialing directly to nodes" which enables you to send/receive messages directly to peers without having to use location-based addressing.

While the primitives in IPFS are simple, they enable you to build powerful architectures, such as CRDTs. So it wouldn't be impossible to re-implement something like a social network on top of IPFS.
