Just to play devil's advocate, what was the first online store? I think Amazon was pretty damn close, having started in 1994 as a store that simply stocked a large selection of rare books. The shipping took weeks as I recall.

It was not an obvious idea at the time, simply because there weren't that many people on the web. It was around the time that SSL was being developed [1] -- so if you were much earlier you probably couldn't take payments securely.

There were probably mail order catalogs that had websites, but I think that is a different thing than a "web store".

Also, Netflix wasn't the first online movie portal, but I'm pretty sure they were the first people to make a business out of mailing DVDs! It's crazy that they started like that.

Indeed Turing himself proved that there are non-computable real numbers.
>Between 1950 and 2015, there were 82 occupations out of 459 that flipped from male to female and/or female to male. Out of the 82, 72 shifted from male to female majority. There were 28 occupations that shifted from majority female to male.
In belgium a written counter-offer is binding. So, say a buyer makes an offer via email, the seller makes a counter-offer via email, the buyer accepts, then the seller is obligated to sell at that price to that buyer, even if a higher offer comes in from someone else. If they refuse to sell they can theoretically be forced to pay a fine, though in practice things usually don't escalate that far.
How many fewer AirPods do you think they would sell of the iPhone 7 still had a headphone jack? Given that every iphone 7 came with lightning EarPods and a lightning to headphone jack adapter, I would guess that AirPods sales would barely have been affected.
>Do you think Bannon forced Charlie Rose to interview him

Those two really went at it. Whenever the topic turned to the media Charlie's (conscious or otherwise) bias was so glaringly obvious.

It was like watching a debate between the president of a police union and and a the director of an inner city drug treatment program or an oil company exec and a university professor who researches climate change. Neither side could comprehend that their biases reinforced by the people they surround themselves with throughout their careers causes them to greatly over-estimate the validity of their side of the issue.

It was some damn good TV.

I love Sublime. Tried Atom, but too slow on my 2012 Macbook Air.

One question:
How is sublime sustainable economically? I mean alternatives like Atom is free & open source, supported by a big company. With a infinite free trial model, how can sublime survive?
I got something out of it. How about being constructive and share some writing you think is good, or some of your own writing?

A page of text is not meant to compete with the "classics", so if that's what you're looking for you shouldn't read this site at all.
Agreed, also it's a case of "good enough but will get better", the more people who use electron the more its performance will improve.

I was bearish on it initially but it's starting to prove itself in a way where I'm seriously considering it.

Also as a former desktop developer who moved to the web a lot of what it does looks pretty good tbh.

That and TypeScript has completely changed my opinion of "client side" web development, it's solved so much of the pain it's unbelievable and is good enough I'd consider it for desktop development for me the killer example is vscode - proof that you can write fast applications on the platform.

Is there a distinction between "its already here" and "its already being made popular by someone else"?
"Fantasy"? Not even close.

We hope it stays far away, but when a highly technological society breaks down, it can happen very fast.

Just read about Sarajevo, went from thriving metropolis to desperate in a matter of days, in a matter of 2-3 months, people were dying of starvation. Gangs ruled, and you had to be organized and armed to survive. Venezuela is descending into that state now, even with recently imposed gun confiscation. (and those are just political disasters)

I write this without having made any particular preparations, as increasing instability has not yet crossed my threshold of probability.

But to think that it is a mere "fantasy" that things could get bad enough to need stockpiles and weapons is itself the fantasy.

Just read a bit of history, and/or do a bit or research into how fast things will run out --critical things-- when our Just-In-Time economy no longer delivers everything in time.

[[edit: add parenthetical on political disasters]]
Monoids (& monads) are one of those tools that I think help shape your thinking (like FP) and, even if you don’t use them daily or regularly... still help make you a better programmer to understand.

The concepts are actually very simple but their effects are complex. This is great introduction though I think a little high level for beginners.

Wrapping Spotify Web, Outlook 365 and HipChat into their own "application"s lets me treat them as if they are native apps, but for some reason it uses a lot less resources than the actual native apps.

I wrote a script that allows me to acquire videos from a very popular video providing site (YOU mighT have Used it BEfore) from channels on said site, and converts them into mp3's, tags them with metadata from eyed3 and then adds them to my music library for use when I DJ over the weekends.
This script has saved me possibly more than 4 hours a week of manually hunting down music, plus if I need to get a specifically popular (stupid) song (despacito), I can always buy that on gmusic and just manually add it.

11 Things Developers Love Hearing from Non-Developer Co-Workers
Not everyone feels that way. Some services are worth it of course, but there are a lot of pretenders that have entered the picture who do not sell things worthy of a subscription. There is an older model of software as eternal, you finish the program and then move on to the next bigger and better program. At least then your old userbase doesn't get as shafted.
Java EE was also the cloud, before the term was coined.

When targeting EE application servers, you don't need to worry at all where it is being executed.

Of course this only works ad long as no native methods or APIs for file or process management are used.

He clearly states that the black community has been hit hard by the illegal immigration, and being outbid in the job market.
Disclaimer: I have a math background, but this isn't my field.

The continuum hypothesis was proved to be independent of ZFC. From glancing at the first few paragraphs of the actual paper [2], it's been established for decades that the following inequality holds:

aleph_1 <= p <= t,

and that aleph_1 = p can be shown to imply aleph_1 = t. Note that the inequalities aren't strict inequalities, and this proof is essentially saying that they were equivalent all along.

"Villain" as a word evokes the image of a silent film tycoon malevolently twirling their moustache over bags of money.

Rational might be the word you're after. AT&T and Comcast are acting as corporations to maximize shareholder returns.

But it is true that money often corrupts. A completely unregulated market leads to negative externalities that the taxpayer is ultimately responsible for. A completely regulated market stifles innovation and kills growth.

I'm not sure if regulation is a viable option at this point, mainly due to the sheer incompetence of regulatory bodies and government bureaucrats.
it's tied to both.

to gain visibilty, need to vote "good argument, but i disagree" or "bad argument, but i agree with the conclusion"

a naked 'good argument' or 'i agree vote' costs a small amount of karma.

a 'i agree, good argument', costs a large amount of karma, because those votes should be rare.
m with you pal, memory leaks are the last topic you touch when optimizing a function, usually you start lowering the execution time, followed by I/O blocking issues then proceed to server-related issues, network latency and after all that is covered you start looking for "memory leaks" so explaining memory is usually unnecessary at this point, since usually JR's devs are more focused on producing software rather than optimizing it.

IMHO memory leaks are important only on embedded software because you start there with a really low memory available for your software to run.

No it's not. Evolution itself does not have the objective of creating something.

Regarding evolution, having read both Kenneth's book and "The Blind Watchmaker" by Dawkins I can tell you that Kenneth rediscovers what Dawkins explained in his book in 1986.
The experiment Dawkins describes in his book resembles the picbreeder experiment a lot.
That's great until the mob with torches are outside your door calling for your blood. Intolerance will always win if you insist on every issue being a "both sides" debate. It's the same as trying to argue with a creationist, antivaxer or flat earther; there cannot be a reasonable discussion if one or more sides have no facts to stand on (master race bollux was bad science back in the 1920s and hasn't gotten better).

No one is loosely throwing around the term Nazi, these groups self identify as American nazis, carry fucking nazi flags, are on video chanting "jews will not replace us". Also these groups aren't new; they've been around for years technology has just amplified their voice. You don't need The Daily Stormer and its ilk to come to an informed decision on "are Nazis bad" just open a history book.

There's a valuable discussion to be had about whether it makes sense for the internet to not be a public run utility (and thus subject to full 1st amendment protections). But so long as we're leaning on the free market to sort things out, you're on the wrong side of history if Nazis are the cause you want to defend.

> While a religion often has an associated cosmology and other myths about the physical world, they have little effect on most believer's lives...

I'd go the other way and say that religions that have little effect on believers' lives don't mean much. They are just more fluid tribal associations.

> ...religions do not generally change fundamentally, let alone fall, if their beliefs about the physical world are found to be unrealistic

I think they do. I think Christian Science (not actually a type of Christianity, by the way) has been limited in popularity because of the failure of its beliefs to work in reality (1). So there's probably a lot of survivor bias going on.

I don't see the problem with having a first digit and a last digit and an infinite number of digits in between.

Edit: Infinitesimal divided by two is infinitesimal, in the same way that infinity multiplied by two is infinity. So 0.000...0001 / 2 = 0.000...0001 . Infinitesimal multiplied by any finite number is infinitesimal. Infinitesimal multiplied by infinity is every number in the interval from infinitesimal to infinity. Or none of them. Or just one. Or all of them except one. Infinity just throws common sense out the window, then catches it as it tries to sneak back in through the chimney and sets it on fire. I'm not convinced that any sane person can adequately grasp the concept.

Don't confuse the limitations on mathematical notation with a limitation on imagination. 0.9 repeating is not exactly the same as the infinite sequence of ( 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + ... ). The repeating notation indicates to use nine's complement for that portion of the fraction instead of ten's complement. 0.9 repeating is literally equal to one, by notation convention, but the infinite sequence of 9 digits is one minus infinitesimal, which is equal to one in every calculation that does not involve an infinity.

You have to have an infinite number of infinitesimals to make any number that isn't zero, but when you do that, you can get all of them.

Show HN: Building an app to help other startups get customers in open public
https://www.brunoe.com/

Hi, I'm working on an app that lists latest listings from all startups and businesses so other people can find what they're looking for; discover options they didn't know existed; and startups can find meaningful users.

When I finished my MVP 2 weeks ago, I contacted a lot of people and I found out that people didn't understand what I was making.

So I decided to turn my homepage into an open feedback and commenting page as I work on the project in open public.

Please share your thoughts and opinions. Thank you!
A bit of advice about understanding concepts like these:

You don't understand every single instance. You understand the concept, and then you begin to learn individual instances.

The shape and the use of monoids is really easy to grasp. Sometimes understanding how a thing is specifically is a monoid or how it's implemented can be obscure. They are similar to monads in this respect, although often less complicated.

In summary, understand that there is a beach and that the beach is made of many grains of sand. Each grain of sand may not be obvious from just staring at the beach.
It also seems obvious to me.

There is no "infinity", there are just infinite loops, and they are all equivalent.
Xubuntu was mom-proof about 7 years ago. I put her on mint for a year or two, but I've had her on Xubuntu for most of the past 7 years. She's old enough to be a grandma.
It's possible to go overkill with learning tons of unnecessary shortcuts, but in my opinion all you really need for tmux is attach, detach, split horizontal, split vertical, fullscreen.

5 shortcuts is a paltry investment for a pretty sweet gain.

And unlike an IDE, this can be readily available on any machine you SSH into. Which is also what makes VIM so handy.
Saddest thing is that most Americans are brainwashed by one sided mass media to think that USA is doing good and righteous deeds. Sad truth is that USA is for a century producing countless wars for its own interest, in which millions of inosent people died and left many regions in ruin and in bad relationships to its neighbors.
Btw, i witnessed two of those pointless wars. Last time when as a kid in a capitol of Europe, Belgrade, bombs and tomahawks were falling on my city. Painfully pointless and sad.
> The U.S. has bombed them

Did you mean "airdropped weapons and munitions"? Probably they put "bombed" in the official expense reports as a shorter synonym. CIA has been supporting Al Qaeda and other Sunni Saudi proxies for the last 3 decades at least, and i don't see what can realistically happen that would make CIA stop now. If anything, given current Shia position - formed Shia belt from Lebanon to Iran (thus in particular killing any chances for Saudi pipelines to Europe) plus Yemen (where US openly turns blind eye to religion based genocide by Saudis) and Russia playing on Shia side (Russia no specific religious prefs here, they support Shia only because US chose Sunni) - the support would probably be increasing.
i had a similar complaint when the github navigation bar turned grey, but I just don't even notice it anymore. hard for me to discern UX principles here from user familiarity.
> but for some reason it uses a lot less resources than the actual native apps.

Because most "actual native apps" now are not native apps but electron or some other HTML + JS + CSS wrapper running an entire separate browser to render the app. By running the web page as separate windows you're effectively getting the same app but sharing the browser overhead.
