I'm a huge Flow fan, and picked it over TypeScript because at the time I didn't like the idea of:

- Switching everything to .ts and .tsx files

- Switching a lot of tooling (TypeScript's built-in ES6 transpiler instead of Babel, tslint instead of eslint, etc.)

- At the time, TypeScript's types were nullable, Flow's were non-nullable, which makes a huge difference to me

- Given that TypeScript is a transpiler along with a static type-checker, it's not always easy to tell which features are going to have build-time vs run-time effects (e.g. private properties, property decorators)

That said, some of the errors from Flow can be incredibly confusing, and even with the latest versions I feel like there's improvement which needs to be made here. This (in my view) is the number one thing it needs to drive adoption.
Well yeah, weren't a lot of the broken systems big cobol systems from that era?

You never know what software ends up being still used for critical systems 20 years down the road, so it's stupid to knowingly make a new system which is guaranteed to break in 20 years.

That said, it sounds like this guy has thought about it, and is making sure to use all 32 bits to store the timestamp.
Are there any companies out there trying to make it easy for consumers to legitimately own/host all their own digital content?

If the price was reasonable people would go for it, as long as setup and maintenance is transparent (that's what the company's services help you achieve).

If the networks were federated .. like e.g. Mastodon ...
Buying her books for your kids or the kids of someone you know is the right way to recognize her.

Awards are circle jerks that add no new value on their own.
Not hating on your points, because they're valid, but the sudden transformation part of #1 strikes me as similar to when your hands are wet and you're trying to use TouchID. The phone will shake the passcode prompt a few times and eventually give up and ask you for your passcode.

I don't really see a problem with this. Apple has done a good job of making it known their biometrics aren't perfect, and will err on the side of caution when tested with strange inputs. You're not allowed to setup the phone without a passcode, and it serves as the final barrier to access if biometrics fail.
Then, at least around iPhone, they're idiots. I'm not going to have one cellphone for the whole family. Even in the best case scenario of my wife being a stay-at-home mom, I'm going to work. I'm not leaving my phone with her all day at home. And she's not going without a cellphone all day. So... where's the "one device per family" coming in? Even if we assume kids "share" - that works until they're what? 5? 6? 10? At some point the kid is going to want a phone at the same time you do, and eventually "No because I said so" is going to fall on deaf ears.
GNU is Not Unix! Nor is it Linux. MacOS was a Unix, not sure if it technically still is, but if not it has Unix roots. And it is simple, the vast majority of users don't need a CLI package manager, they get the App Store and downloading from the web. If you want one there are package managers. Also Darwin is open source, it isn't developed in the open but they do release sources last time I checked.

You're missing the point. Whether or not you like the NSA, it shouldn't be shocking that they're spying on other countries, that is part/all of its intended purpose. Maybe they shouldn't be, but that's not really Snowden's place to decide.

The NSA is spying on American citizens (and doing so without telling them) is likely illegal, and that's the big revelation that Snowden released. But he also released lots of secret/confidential information on legitimate foreign intelligence operations, and even if you're ok with that it's not like that's something that should/can just get a free pass. There's a difference between leaking things because you believe they are illegal, and leaking things because you don't like them. One is protected, the other is not. Snowden essentially did both.
To play devils advocate - are you ok with YouTube brings discovery and hosting platform for extreme Islam propaganda, or neo nazi/far right? Or what about less extreme content deliberately designed to mislead and draw attention to an issue (see the constant barrage of lies published in tabloid newspapers directed at certain hot topics, ranging from slightly misleading to downright lies).

I also don't see what the ISO has to do with it in this case, the authors gripe is with YouTube. Regardless of their ISP, this could have happened with YouTube.

If you want to share politically sensitive content, I think it's fair to say that YouTube isn't your friend.

Regarding solutions, there are plenty of solutions for sharing video that will never result in content being taken down. thesr methods don't offer the same visibility or discovery that YouTube does, which is why they're not as popular.

If you want to provide a censorship free place to host content, you better be prepared to fight a very difficult fight. Where do you stand on copyrighted content, on illegal material (some of which may be legal in some countries but not others), distasteful or offensive material?
That's not how this works. With deniable encryption, it is entirely possible that there doesn't even exist a hidden volume to find. They will be unable to prove he has a hidden volume and surely a judge will not compel him for not producing something he may not be able to at all.
It's also called jit. In this case a static jit.

You don't need a private server at all to figure out how to use Git.
Interesting point, and not what I was assuming at all. I simply believe they don't put enough thought into it (and clearly the NTSB agrees).

Downvotes should be about bad form, not about "I don't agree with you". HN used to be about the former, but now is much more the latter, and it is a poorer community because of it. HN isn't the first online tech-news community, and every single one of these communities that uses an up/downvote mechanism to self-regulate comment quality have gone the same way: as an increasing number of users gain voting privileges, voting replaces debate. When that happens, the community becomes a simple echo-chamber for the "established" truth of that community. This increasingly keeps away quality commenters, strengthening the effect.

When voting, especially downvoting, is a frictionless, costless action, the quality of varied discourse will sooner or later die.

Does Samsung Pay work with more banks where you live? In France there is no support for it (due to come this month but still no dice). I suppose that both can be used anywhere you could use a contactless credit card.

(Aside: in France you can use Apple Pay anywhere a bank card would work up to 20€ but in shops with explicit support there is no limit, few have it though)

> the government still bears the burden of proving that the property is the proceeds of a crime

Is it possible that's only at the federal level (which of course is what the House's bill addresses)? I've read many articles in credible sources, such as the Washington Post, saying that the owner of the property has to demonstrate they are its rightful owner (or some similar standard). The articles said many abandon their property because the cost of contesting the seizure, including attorney costs, outweighed its value.
I don't understand why people villinize Facebook and Google so much. If anything, they've done a fantastic job at data security. They explicitly hire security engineers and even offer bug bounties for potential issues, treating security as a priority.

I mention this all the time: What scares me is companies in the wild that consider security as a burden rather than something core to their business. We see companies even actively punishing people for finding issues in their software and going through responsible disclosure. This sort of response should be outlawed.

Equifax's breach is just a drop in the bucket compared to all the other breaches less well known companies experienced in the past. Like hey, some obscure pay system at Home Depot got hacked and someone stole my credit card, but fuck Google for tracking me online. We have this "too small to care" mentality about these business committing horrifying security transgressions until it's too late.

You really drank the coolaid I can see. I think dependency injection frameworks are a bad idea in general, and it seems as if the current trend goes against using them. Also I won't be expecting much good to happen after Eclipse takes over, they tend to complect implementation and not really drive development IMO.
Jarring exactly the phrase I'd use to describe my experience the past few weeks noticing that ads are following me around and not related to the subreddit I'm in.
They do for legacy apps only, though, since JSP, JSF and everything on top of it, such as portlets and faces component libs, has been obsolete for many years now. Handling UI state on the server just doesn't make any technical sense when there are React, Angular and Co as mainstream GUI kits.

I guess there are still those shops maintaining intranet apps, and for whom it is a priority that everything is 100% Java, or who can't or don't want to invest into JavaScript or another web stack, but I think a responsible consultant should tell these customers that their stack is on life support now.

There are two usages to the word "vanity." The one you're referring to has more to do with dignity (the desire to be respected by everybody.)

The property under scrutiny by the parent poster, though, is (I think) more like "narcissism"—the desire to be perceived as the best person ever by as many people as possible.

The desire for dignity is universal; whereas narcissism is a (rather uncommon) personality flaw.
Oooh I use Flyway but did not know about this feature! It solves a big problem for me, thank you for mentioning it! :)
I just started fiddling around with Blender the other day for fun. There's an official 25-video YouTube list of tutorials that really gets your feet wet nicely, and it can be done on a lazy weekend morning. I loved it and have enjoyed how far you can get with just a few hours of tutorials.

File Analysis with Serverless Architecture
Smarter and more insightful commentators.

That's pretty much it. Once the population gets too big and the level of discourse too low, the intelligent people will move to greener pastures with better signal:noise ratios. Slashdot's moderation system didn't save them, and HN's moderation system won't either.

I've yet to see a comment system that promotes signal:noise ratio over groupthink.
We faced a similar situation in our project and went with Flow instead. We found a TS + Webpack setup too unreliable. There are couple of popular Webpack loaders (ts-loader and at-loader), and both kept crashing the Node process every other build. Build times were pretty high. We could not find any documentation on how to fix these problems, except for a few open GitHub issues.

We then tried Flow. Oh dear god, has it been a blessing.

Pros:

* It's seamless to integrate with Webpack, ESLint & Babel.

* It's crazy fast

* Has great support for React

* Fits in perfectly with Redux

* Dead easy for beginners to learn

* Has an amazing Type system. My major experience with types has been Java, and Flowtype just blew my mind with - non-nullable types, subtyping and type refining.

* Documentation is great

* Community is very active

Cons:

* About 1/3rd of the time error messages are not intuitive. But nothing you can not figure out. And it's getting better.

Paywall, perhaps ironic. Don't know, I couldn't read it.
Wow, this is a great point – put a lot into perspective for me. This is exactly where I think there may be a gap in the market too – between path lights and rooftop solar. How to make a business around it without it being straight commoditized to Costco or Home Depot, though? Not that ending there would be a bad thing, but it makes it less of a viable business to build in the US...

Which is kinda funny, because nobody (ok, almost nobody) ever asks those questions when it comes to computer science or particularly IT security. Many of the "studies" thrown around would be laughed at by the community caring about scientific reliability.

If you would have the same standards for large parts of CS that shattered psychology then you'd have to admit some pretty dire things.
Spot on. There is some very odd psychology at work with people's attitude towards software licensing/service prices. It's clear that many people are actively angry when something is more expensive than some ideal arbitrarily low price (unrelated to the costs of providing the service) they have in mind.

I don't even use Fastmail any longer, great though it is, because I have had to cut my costs absolutely to the bone in recent years. But I'm truly glad such an excellent service exists for if/when I'm again ready to pay for it, and that the engineers involved can get paid for doing a good job.

Fair enough.

But why would people need different healthcare based on different states? Or education? Or food? That never made sense to me.
I personally hate MDN. I actually prefer W3Schools. I want straight to the point examples.
Where is this sudden DI framework hate coming from? It's just magic object glue that assembles everything based on contract.

It's that or factory factory factories or sticky tape. Those are much worse.

All the Java EE tech is just a set of contracts really with some canned implementations that magic object glue sticks together.
I hope they include a backup iPhone with every purchase.
As mentioned, TMo and Sprint also own/lease towers. The big 4 are all real full network operators. They all have roaming agreements with other smaller carriers in areas they don't serve, but TMo and Sprint are not MVNOs, however they both OWN MVNOs.

Interesting. But it lacks a lot of simple compounds. For instance it doesn't recognize ethyne or acetylene only ethylene. These are all different names for the same thing but ethyne is the systematic name. Similarly it recognizes propane and propene but not propyne, but does recognize methyl ethylene.

This is a bit odd because all of those names are regular constructions that indicate the composition in formally defined ways.

Still fun though!

A lot of enterprise companies aren't buying in JS frameworks because the velocity of those frameworks is too fast. I kind of agree. When you have 50,000 desktops, a 6 month lead dragging a pile of apps over to a new browser is a nightmare scenario. All it takes is one app which the vendor doesn't give a shit about and one internal app deprecating an IE version used by 50 users due to a JS framework change in a branch office and there's a headache from hell on your plate.

Fortunately they're all starting to kick out chrome for business now.
Especially after their assets are seized.
My impression is that nobody uses any of the code shipped in Java EE. People use Servlet containers (Tomcat and JBoss) but the problems you can solve with EJB, JSF, JPA, JMS, etc. are all better solved with open source libraries, e.g. Guice, Spring, and Hibernate.
Yet another article that misses Damore's point.

Damore's hypothesis is not about ability or qualification. It's about interest. The paper claims that women are underrepresented in the tech sector simply because they're less interested in tech than men, not because they're less qualified or capable.

I disagree with that hypothesis, sure (quite a bit of anecdotal evidence among coworkers and family/friends actually suggests the opposite, and I don't think Damore adequately isolated supposed biological factors from potential socioeconomic factors), but I at least bothered to read the paper before blabbing about it on the Internet.
Perhaps there could be a way to instantly delete all iphone data with a voice command.

So, did you pay taxes on the BTC sale? I appreciate your story, but it's not really relevant. Did you comment on the wrong post?
You are right, what we do in school... and also in work... is typically as unnatural as "technology" and has to be drilled in. What fun? No puppy sits in a classroom all day long without being allowed to move.
I find it amusing that on one side there is always this complaint about not enough playing outside, not enough social interaction blah blah, at the same time we force our kids to sit in a classroom 5-10h a day, quietly listening and writing.

When I was in school 30 years ago we spent hours just transcribing stuff from books to paper. Yanking that C64 joystick was more activity than that.

And the grown-ups? Sit in their offices and meeting rooms all day.

My daughter is extremely active, but in daycare the drill already starts. I already dread the time when this curious drive for exploration is more and more extinguished by this system.

Technology didn't hinder me - I learned programming at age 12 by this type of curious exploration of that thing on the table. By experimentation and breaking things. I was able to write my first game in QBasic after a few weeks. Yet I'm unable to read sheet music or play an instrument after more than 8 years of music in school, transcribing stuff from books.

Nowadays I got a PhD in CS and feel that I'm quite successful. Even with all that evil fun and technology... Mindless consumption can also happen in school with books, creativity also with fun and technology.
I went through a similar process and chose TS > Flow.

- Renaming to .ts and .tsx is nicer than adding comments, because it integrates better with tooling (compile all files that end with .ts) and it's easier to see at a glance what's ported

- You can always compile TS to ES2018 and run that through Babel, if you like. TSLint -> ESLint is indeed a change, though you can continue to use most of ESLint for TS [0]

- As a rule, TS is compile time only. There are a few exceptions, but that's almost always the case.

For me the advantages of TS are:

- Huge library of community written typings for JS libs

- Mapped types

- Full support for literal types

- Read only types

That said, I really like Flow's co/contravariance annotations, and the corresponding $Supertype and $Subtype functions. That, and nominal typing can be really convenient (coming to TS soon, hopefully).

Check out, for example, the case of Martin Armstrong, held for 7 years in contempt of court for not producing items he said he didn't have. Eventually he had to enter a plea agreement and serve an additional 5-year term.
I remember a time when commenting seemed like a weird idea. Why would someone write on your site instead of on their own site? And then dynamically generated pages and eventually social networks took over. I wonder if the internet would be a better place if everyone had their own websites and RSS/Atom feeds rather than the centralized services we have today.
It's kind of like how liberals are all urban poor or coastal elites.
