Alternative would be to keep the standard geographic map, but have clear points on all possible destinations X minutes away - ideally with a slider, watching the "X minutes" points slide around. Actually pretty easy, given each road segment knowing expected speed, and "X+1" just extending into untraveled areas.

JS, and the web platform in general, is solving problems that are hard in nature. Considering the constraints imposed by these problems, quite a few features of JS are superior to many other languages.

Consider the wide range of devices that a JS code must support. There is some pain in supporting all of them, but compared with Android development, the transpilers and shims available in JS seems like magic. Cross platform programming is hard, and JS seems wierd because any JS code must consider it, while many C programmers never need to think about it. Taking cross-platform into account, I prefer copying some shims from MDN to using IFDEF WIN32's.

Or consider GUI development. The nice API for working with DOM, lots of available UI components, and specially the asynchronous programming model made possible by Promises is really nice by GUI-programming standards.

Also the good parts/bad parts mindset belongs to the past. I can't remember the last time I even thought of using == vs ===, prototype hacks or similar "bad" parts. The usual post about strange behavior of ">=null" on HN is just amuzing, not problematic for my JS coding experience. As said in other comments, maybe everybody should just stick to using their prefered JS framework and master it.
The M855 was supposed to be a round that would leave less environmental impact both in actual use and in training.

Tungsten ended up being just as toxic (
The round also had stability and terminal ballistics issues but that is another topic) as lead so they've replaced that one in the M855A1 with mild steel.

Then they had a fancy jacket made out of bismuth and tin alloy that appeared to be both not exactly environmentally friendly especially for the users due to buildup of bismuth salts firearm and unstable at high temperatures which causes inconsistencies in accuracy when fired from a hot barrel.

So they've pretty much moved back to a copper alloy half jacket and an arrowhead steel tip insert, the M855A1 also didn't solve all balsitis issues and ended up being slightly longer which can cause feeding issues.
No, cheese from raw milk is not banned in the US. There are various regulations on it however. The raw milk cheese has to be aged at least 60 days and labeled as unpasteurized.
Let me rephrase: users could use the software only to gain free access to the patents. Thus this license is like giving away access to the patents.
One thing very few people seem to notice is that this bill doesn't just jeopardise online services with it's broad language, it jeopardises users who are not the source of the targeted content. Why? Because they too lose the CDA safe harbor, and it's easy to look at the way modern information services look (especially, e.g., social networking sites) and see ways that an enterprising lawyer might target third party users as “publishers” of, e.g., information that is visible to some other users because the targeted user interacted with the source in a particular way.

3 scrolling patterns and how to prototype them
It's been fun again since I stopped worrying about keeping up with framework churn and all the tooling. I still feel bad when people ask what framework we use and I can rattle off a list of trendy new stuff but I quickly remind myself how asinine that is and go back to making perfectly fine, successful-in-production JS apps with stable boring things like ES5 and Backbone.
from the FAQ: "in practice, we need just a little bit more: a declaration of the intent not to use software patents against users, and the shared understanding that contributions back to the project will be incorporated under the same terms of the license."

ISC don't have either of those. If the authors want a patent grant, why should they not be allowed to have that?

Things have actually greatly slowed down.

GTX 1080TI is March 2017 11.3 TFLOPs going back five years you find a GTX 680 from March 2012 is 3.1 TFLOPS. So less than 4x gains in 5 years.

Around 1997 you where seeing nearly 2x gains per year.
Pipelining would make those idle circuits useful rather than less costly
I totally hear you. Any transformation to push forward new technology in financial services requires multiyear projects and thousands if not millions of dependency checks, testing and upgrades that may or may not bring in the additional revenue that would make the effort worthwhile. Factor in the fact that systems knowledge might also be scarce and you can see why no one wants to go through the pain.

Yeah, there was an article a few years back about that, Command-line tools can be faster than your Hadoop cluster [1], where the punchline is that because of the inherent stream processing because of pipelining, the shell pipeline was 235 times faster than Hadoop.

There aren't many games that fall into that category. For example, look at Direct3D 12. You can count on your fingers the number of games that require D3D 12, and it's supported by graphics cards made in 2011 (although not all of them).

Just look at the new API features we've been getting, they aren't really the kind of things you'd rewrite your engine for, with the exception of Vulkan / D3D 12 / Metal / etc. But Vulkan / D3D 12 are really just API changes that don't reflect underlying hardware changes.

On top of that, a large percentage of games are made on top of engine middleware with good support for mediocre hardware (like Unreal and Unity, both of which run on phones if you want).

Well, not all of them! x86/64 compatibility is going to be necessary for awhile, and emulation isn't quite there yet. Especially with one of ARM's main advantages being power efficiency.

But seriously, I agree that Apple made a HUGE mistake in completely missing the ARMtop 'Chromebook' market. Google really slammed that niche open - they've gone so far as to trademark 'Apptop' - and even Microsoft is beating them to the punch.

I mean, the 'Apple Apptop'...well, coulda shoulda woulda. 'Google Apptop' sounds good, too; both would be equally incomprehensible names to someone two generations ago.

It may be pretty powerful, but I'm uncomfortable believing that it really should be. For starters, every lawyer has a different opinion, a different style of preferred phrasing, and a different understanding of what open source software is. Ultimately the parties involved are you, your users and your contributors. Most of us don't have lawyers.

That said, I think it might be effective to put some short legal opinions, from experts in this particular field, into the FAQ. If anyone's listening: that would make for a great pull request.

The goal here is to make this thing as shipshape, watertight and bulletproof as possible, while remaining "simpler than MIT". Then it becomes the license I would have always wanted to use.

I think you are confusing the benefits of Chromebooks in general with Google's Pixel Chromebooks. Aside from the Pixel line of > $1k Chromebooks are usually $150-$300 with a couple "premium" $500 models.

Chromebook's being tied to Google's services is a great feature for the easily replaceable vast majority of Chromebooks that are given to students, grandparents, children. They turn on in seconds and take basically zero management. Every time I open my wife's mac there are 5 updates waiting to install because she can't be bothered to click on the notification.

I take the Pixelbook (and earlier Chromebook Pixels) to be Google's attempt to do what people are criticizing Apple of forgetting to do: remember the power users. They don't plan to sell many of them but they want the option to be out there for a developer who might install linux on it anyways but also might take a stab at packaging their app on the Chromestore, or put it on the Canary channel and submit early bug reports. If a couple especially price insensitive casual users buy them that's just a bonus.

It might also have the effect of catching people's attention who then go on to buy a lower price Chromebook. Imagine a casual laptop shopper wants a small nice laptop. They look for a Macbook / Air because they are small seem pretty capable and have nice commercials. They also notice this Pixel because it's in the same price range and other search filters, so it must be similar, right? They find it runs this strange "ChromeOS" which is really just a browser. Come to think of it that's all they really need, what other Chromebooks are there? Ohh look here's one that does everything I was planning on doing with the Macbook for $300. This is not the typical HN reader, but I'd wager a good many laptop purchases work like this.
More or less one could have a couple (programmable) bluetooth rotary knobs and buttons assembled in a old-style radio dashboard panel.

Of course provided that the stupid proprietary toouchscreen infotainment system can actually be interfaced with them.

It looks like they manage a lot of other domains, all of which should be avoided. Does anybody have a canonical list? It would be silly to switch away from .io to another of their domains!
See the comment by scroot above. It meshes with yours, but recognizes that the underlying culture has gone in directions that are undermining real progress and value of life. This is why I've put a fair amount of time along with many others in trying to get elementary education to a better place. I think we'll have to grow a few generations of "civilization carriers" to pull out. (And, yes, I've been staggered at the low place that much of computing has gotten to, but it is reflecting much larger cultural problems.)
This is super cool. I really appreciate the ability to use (albeit a more primitive version of) this technology on my iPhone 6. It isn't even 4 years old, and it seems to be one of the largest iPhone groups in terms of device share next to the 5S.

When iPhones 8 and X came out, I was thrilled more so with iOS 11 featuring ARKit, but bummed out my A8-powered device could not run their advanced augmented reality software. The price points are high right now for me, and what the devices provide are incremental, making me wonder when smartphones will taper off like PCs did in terms of delivering power across new generations of chipsets.

For the time being, software like this allows hobbyists like me to play around with concepts I'd love to but are otherwise locked out of for now. Thanks for sharing!
DNS Issues affecting resolution of .io TLDs
Amazon is reporting:

8:10 AM PDT Some customers have reported intermittent resolution issues with .io domains. We can confirm that Route 53 DNS services are operating normally at this time and these issues seem to be related to the .io top-level domain provider.

8:43 AM PDT We can confirm that resolution of .io domain names are intermittently failing due to issues with the .io TLD name servers that are hosted external to AWS. Route 53 name servers continue to operate normally, but customers who have sub-domains of .io hosted on Route 53 may experience issues until the .io TLD name servers hosted externally are resolved.

Anyone have any other info?

a) Sure, fitness can take an expansive definition. The question is whether sexual selection is a separate force from natural selection. If so, fitness would break down into environmental fitness and reproductive fitness.

b) the height of the survival bar of quite variable. Suppose you've got a decent niche that holds steady for a few millennia. Or your an invasive species with no real competition but others of your kind. In either case there's plenty of space for variation to arise which won't depend on natural selection pressure.
> They are going to do a better job of designing a framework than you will in most cases.

My own framework will do exactly what I need. No more, and no less. It will only solve problems that I actually have, not ones that I don't. My framework will suit my needs better than theirs will, each and every single time.

>If the answer is that you only want a working product, time spent on building your own framework is time wasted, as in my experience you will spend significantly more time writing your own from scratch than you will ever learning one.

Time is not the main factor. I would rather have something lightweight that does exactly what I want, and only what I want, than some sort of generic one-size-fits-all thing. I don't want to deal with upgrades that are not backward-compatible. I don't want to spend days debugging someone else's to figure out what I did wrong.

> Frameworks are a tool, and telling people to forgo "pre-made" tools and create them yourself is going to be the wrong advice in most cases.

I'm not telling anyone to do anything. I'm only sharing my own personal views on the subject of the article. For a lot of people, I don't doubt that React or Angular is the best course, for a variety of possible reasons.

It's obvious to me that you and I approach the craft of software development from two entirely different angles. It's obvious that you perceive a great deal of value in these framework, so your best bet is to continue using them.

> Would publicly funded elections help this problem? I know NYC and some states have Fair Elections implemented in some form

No. New York already publicly funds elections. The problem is that the parties have constructed a system that allows them to bypass voters' wishes entirely[0], and that system is beyond voters' control[1][2].

On top of this, New York voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering is actually way worse than pretty much any other state that you usually hear about in the news. The difference is that it has bipartisan support in New York - since both parties benefit from it equally (at the state level), there isn't any political benefit (to those in power) to drawing attention to it and fixing it.

This system also affects the state courts, so no state court case will ever overturn it. So, short of a federal court case like what happened in North Carolina, there's no way to fix it. And I doubt that it's ever going to happen, because neither left-wing nor right-wing groups actually want to fix it.

I'd like to act as devil's advocate for a bit.

Showing ads according to a search term is totally possible, but having no attribution attached to a "click" or to an "impression" give very little advantage for the marketer who is paying for the ads. There are cost models allowing to pay for the actual action (like installing an advertised application) not just for clicks or views. Re-targeting people who had expressed their interest in a product is a useful tool for marketers as well. Having some kind of link back to the advertising campaign, which your users came from along with their LTV allow you to measure campaign productivity, which helps optimize future campaigns. And much more.

I really like the idea of not being tracked on the Internet, but it's seems like currently it's not feasible to remove a tool many marketers get used to.
This is probably idiosyncratic, but what about putting bits of code in as many files and directories as possible?
It doesn't seem that unreasonable -- people don't like to be told what to do and a small town might have more pressing issues than sidewalks which, if we're being honest about typical suburbia, that almost no one uses. I think even the staunchest conservatives would argue that a robust network of sidewalks would be nice to have -- I think the issue is making it mandatory.

I think it's weird to make sidewalks your hill to die on but without context it seems like it could be a reasonable policy decision.

I don't think search has much to do with YouTube's success. Just having all those long-tail videos is the main thing, and it has those videos because it's popular.

I've heard that a key early advantage of YouTube was that uploaded videos appeared immediately, not after a long processing delay. That helped it become popular, and once it was popular, it stayed popular and crushed the competition due to the network effect.

Out of curiosity, what did Vue do for you that React didn't? I've been writing React for three years now and I can't find a compelling reason to even try Vue out.
I don't like to use the word "disorder" in this context (or any context where people can be easily offended) because it does have some negative stigmas attached to it. However, in this case, it's important to identify some feelings (however real they may be to the individual) as signs of a disorder, simply because they cause real distress for that person, and they don't match the normally congruent relationship between sex and gender.

A person with schizophrenia may imagine and feel things that aren't strictly real, but are nonetheless "real" in terms of what they experience. In that case, it would be harmful to legitimize those things, and it's important to help the person distinguish between what feels real and what is real. In no way am I equating transgender feelings to schizophrenia, but those same principles should apply.
That certainly could have been better worded, but in context we aren't talking about photographers with nice cameras like were certainly used to take those pictures.

We are talking about spy cameras or cellphones generally used in a surreptitious manor to conceal the fact that ladies are being filmed/photographed.

IMO, if you don't want to be photographed while scantily clad in public, don't go into public scantily clad. People want the freedom of walking around in skin tight clothes that expose the curves of every piece of their anatomy to all that who can see without the consequences of exposing the same to all who can see. Apparently public shaming isn't enough and they need to call on the fringe "everything is violence" crowd to bring illegal actual physical violence into the mix. :(

Note: I have no problem with anyone wearing anything they want. I totally support it. I just dislike this topic being treated as news here.
