When do you expect the cast to chromecast feature to make it into the stable build for Mac?
Well, that is the problem with the system. There are many vague laws but with this one, not only certain policemen try hard to apply it to people, but they also get supported by the judges. It shouldn't be hard to distinguish between the original knives banned by the law and a broken pocket knife. That people get punished for just owning a broken pocket knife makes it look very intentional.
You are more than welcome here.

It's just so many of us have gone through the routine.

See a Psychologist--spend so much on dubious Therapy sessions. The Psychologist then give the refferal to the Psychiatrist. We are then given drug, after drug with limited success in many cases. We are always required to keep those mandatory office visits though. In many cases $350/hr.

In the end, when the treatment just doesn't seem to work, the profession hides behind, "Oh, well--it's an art too?"

I get that it's an art. All medicine is part art.

We spent years hearing about the benefits of the hetro, and tricyclic anti-depreaants. Yes--most of that was the result of clever marketing practices by the drug companies.

Then some PhD uses the Freedom of Information Act to number crunch all the meta data from all the studies; we are left with do these drugs even work? (Forget the guy's name, but he made a name for himself.)

All in all, I know it's a complicated speciality. I have utmost respect for ethical/moral Psychiatrists.

I know you're probably busy person, but we would love your opinion when one of these posts pop up on Hacker News.

And don't be leary of being down-voted. There are many times where the down-voted person actually has a point. There are many of us here who don't follow the heard mentality. We will give a wide bearth, but just want honesty.

People should give more credit to Ext JS. For a long time, Ext JS was the best choice for enterprise applications and made possible for web applications to replace desktop dinosaurs, such as inventory, accounting, trading apps, etc. Sencha is still a great choice for such apps as it offers components optimized for "data-intensive" apps, but with ES6 and React they are behind technologically.

My company is selling premium themes for ExtJS and we saw a big decline in sales with Ext JS 5 and Ext JS 6, especially after the "min 5 license" change.

We're now working on our own framework called CxJS which has features similar to React, Angular and Ext JS combined. Please take a look if you're looking for an alternative to Ext JS.

You should look at daily disposables and see if those work better.

I get 20% off exams and frames+lenses as a member (life member actually) of the Cal Alumni Association. I usually schedule my visit in the summer when things are slow. It's always nice to be on campus again.

I don't think there's a reciprocation agreement. There is for library privileges. You can actually join as a UCSD alum. Life is about $750 (it was less when I joined) which has paid for itself for me. I believe there are alumni advantages at UCSF Dental as well.
It would be likely that anyone prone to selling out would have done so a long time ago when stakes were in the tens of thousands.

I never suggested morality will prevent a judge or jury. Just that doing fewer bad things results in fewer complains results in less likelihood of spending prosecutor effort on us. But probably when our share price hits $25+ we'll be big enough that someone will decide to go after us for real.

If our opsec fails, I'll end up in prison, very probably. That's what contingency plans are for: the project can keep operating without me. Meanwhile that's going to take a ton of effort and time, so I can the project to a point where I'm not vital.

Lawyers opinions are the same. No lawyer will advise their client to be the founder of an illegal enterprise. This is not much of an insight. Other than that, most lawyers are not capable of assessing opsec risk.
I've been wearing Felix computer glasses for the past ~2 weeks. I was really surprised to see the difference. My eyes were so strained all the time previously and that feeling has almost completely gone away.
I'm confused. Is this a GUI that runs on top of a kernel (like Linux)? What part of it uses NW.js? Using JavaScript for a system like this is generally not a good idea. The garbage collector can interfere at any time and cause all sorts of problems in a kernel or OS environment. It'll also likely be incredibly slow.
Completely agree that women have it a lot worse. And this is excluding the gender discrimination that women face at the workplace etc.

Its really frightening to think of how much fear women face regularly, just in their daily life. From actual stalkers, to being wary of shady streets at night, being careful when walking alone, going for a run at odd hours etc.

Not to mention all the unwanted attention when all they want is to be left alone. And many men not taking no for an answer.

It took me some time to really internalize this and come to appreciate women's difficulties with these things, since I didn't have much personal experience to relate to because I'm a guy.
Could well be, but I haven't seen as much TV coverage of it, very likely because of the power- and transportation difficulties.
It's actually not that hard. Most blockchains use a variation of Gossip, which is quite trivial to implement. On startup, your nodes get a list of seed nodes, recursively ask for peer lists until they can connect to some "max peer count."

When they receive transactions (from a client, or a peer), they simply forward them to all other peers (if it's the first time they've seen them.)

That's basically it. :-)

Judging by my own high school economics teacher, the textbook we used for that course, and the free "core econ" textbook that was recently published online, yours may have had unorthodox views for a high school economics teacher.

"Core Econ", chapter 10.1 "Money and wealth"

Money makes more exchanges possible because it’s not hard to find someone who will be happy to have your money (in exchange for something), whereas unloading a large quantity of apples could be a problem. This is why barter plays a limited role in virtually all modern economies

Amusingly, they cite Graeber's Debt Ch 2, despite implying exactly the thing that chapter argued against: that barter was the primary vehicle for exchanging goods in pre-money societies.

I first got into this when I was taking Physics 7C which has a chapter on lenses. There's an approximation they use and I thought couldn't they use ray tracing and do a better job? So I started reading and yeah, they could and they do. What I was wondering about is what free form lenses actually are. And with modern CNC capabilities, you can do a much better job.
Apple created Swift, a new language that is very good.

Apple is also doing a lot of cool stuff with hardware, AI, and machine learning, including hardware specifically designed for machine-learning products like Face ID.

In terms of distributed systems, the app store and iTunes media services are among the highest-traffic services on the internet.

All of this stuff involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work that is very interesting to engineers.

For someone who claims to have had issues with mental stability, you seem very quick to use that label. /Anyone/ is capable of /anything/. The only variable is choice. There are many variables which can factor into people justifying immoral actions at any given time. Its easy to demonize others whom you disagree with, but you would do well to understand that the reality is not as simple as 'us vs. them'. Every single actor on the world stage has their own reasons and motivations for what they do. Not all of them align with your personal wellbeing.

I do not think that agencies will stop retouching photos. I suspect that they will just indicate "Photographie retouchée" on each picture and that's it.

Indeed, while the article talks about a "cigarette-packet style warning", I don't think there is any requirement for the warning to be especially prominent. Here is the relevant decree (in French): https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do;jsessionid=150.... The relevant part is Art. R. 2133-5. It just says that the warning should be "easily readable". I think in practice it will just end up as part of the small print that you already find on many ads.

This is a really good article, and I like all the hyperlinks to other material. Personally I also worked a lot to get to a point where I could have a decent social life as a nerd, and a lot of the content here is spot on.

I think the article mentions it a but it deserves to be said aloud: don't always have sex as the goal, try to enjoy the experience instead. Which doesn't mean that you shouldn't desire a sexual experience or try to have sex. But there are many many reasons why it may not happen so don't be frustrated if it doesn't. Do try to enjoy the company, rather than specific actions.

Which also means: don't hang out with someone who you strongly dislike or don't agree on certain fundamental things. Value your own time, and value others' as well.

>The internet actually stifles dissent.

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

"According to some experts, the initial excitement over the role of social media in political processes in the countries of the Maghreb and the Middle East has diminished. As Ekaterina Stepanova argues in her study concerning the role of information and communications technologies in the Arab Spring, social networks largely contributed to political and social mobilization but didn’t play a decisive and independent role in it. Instead, social media acted as a catalyst for revolution, as in the case of Egypt, where the existing gap between the ruling elite and the rest of the population would eventually have resulted in some kind of uprising."

That said, Malcolm Gladwell agrees with you -- that the low-risk protesting that social media provides is also basically without reward [1]

> Singapore is surrounded by far more corrupt countries

It's funny you say because I have my favorite counter-example from one of those surrounding countries. I was in Thailand when Thaksin Shinawatra with his ThaiRakThai party was first elected into power. Many people I spoke to had voted for him because "he's the richest man in Thailand, he doesn't need any more money so he cannot be corrupted!". Fast-Forward five years and he changed laws that allowed him to sell a larger share of his own company as well as evade paying taxes for the sale. He was ousted by the military for being too corrupt for Thailand!

Agreed. One of the core tenets of bitcoin, in my opinion, is that it's borderless --or international as you say-- and not centralized in any way. National cryptocurrencies won't work (IMO) because they violate the principals of decentralization. Open vs closed/government-based crypto is like comparing the internet to a closed off intranet.
4000 developers sponsored by 400 companies.

Let than sink in. It's not only 4000 opinionated devs. It's, potentially, 400 completely different organizations; 400 management layers on top; 400 different priority sets; devs in every time zone; etc. Google is just 1 company (a dozen, if you want to break down Alphabet).

It's amazing that they manage to get 8 changes an hour, and still be one of the most successful open source, and software project in general.

Why changing the system?
Early iTunes was pretty nice — a lightweight, focused music player and not much else. Over time it became slow, unusable bloatware — an iPhone/iPad backup / sync manager, an e-commerce / ad platform (iTunes store), a social media platform (Ping), a way for Apple to automatically tag/categorize/mess up your library, among others. I'm not sure if it's better now, I abandoned it years ago.
I never switched from Firefox. I have no idea why everyone else did. Chrome had fewer extensions, wasn't faster and was a huge security risk. I can't remember Firefox ever having a problem with speed. I say that as someone who is unhappy if a command line tool takes more than a few milliseconds to do its thing. I think all that happened is people tried Chrome because Google told them to, and they found it was faster because they had a hundred extensions in Firefox and none in Chrome.

"How can deferring checks of correctness to runtime be considered a feature?"

Correctness is not something that matters in the real world. Even defects don't really matter. What matters is problems that defects cause. It's a subtle difference, but very important one. Because you can either limit the scope of those problems at runtime or try to make sure that there are as few defects as possible to cause problems in the first place. First approach doesn't force you to specify anything to check correctness for, is flexible, productive, prepared for the real world. Second approach is much less flexible, much less productive, doesn't work well in the real world, where things fail not only because of defects, but by nature. So, this is how it can be considered a feature.

(While writing this I realized that Roboprog probably meant late binding as a feature from OOP, where it is considered necessary for OOP to even exist, not reliability.)
There are more forces required than the call-to-arms for a revolution to end in a net success for the people initiating it.

I think it's unfair to task 'the internet' with the entire task of establishing a fair government.

The communications channel succeeded. The call-to-arms was heard. The failure wasn't with the use of the internet, it was with everything that went on after dissent began.

People expected 'internet = democracy' and overburdened the whole concept. Free and wide communications is just a stepping stone, one of many, that edges a governing body into fair-practice.
Ah yes. I recall hearing about the idea that the basic economy need 3 entities. A buyer, a seller, and an accountant to record the transaction to ensure there is no double spending.

In effect money of any kind replace the accountant by making sure that the buyer do not double spend by handing over the tokens that allow him to buy in the first place.
Have you tried different brands? I started out with Bosch and Lomb contacts, which I thought were excellent. Then one year my doctor suggested that I try Biofinity Toric instead, and it was a revelation. Most of the time I can't feel that they're even there. If I forget whether I have them in, I literally have to see if my distance vision is clear to check.

That is not to say that Biofinity is the better choice, but it's worth trying out some different kinds to see if there's one that works better for you.

"Arrest quotas" is a bit like voter fraud. It's talked about a lot, there's heavy speculation, but there's little evidence showing it exists in any systemic form.

It's also worth noting in many areas arrest quotas are outright illegal.

What departments do typically do is look at distributions. Say on a Friday evening shift, over the past 12 month period, a typical officer typically has 16-18 speeding stops.

However, during the same Friday evening shift, an offer typically writes 1-2 for the past months. Why? Maybe it's something explainable. Maybe it's the officer isn't doing a good job.

But that's the intent of looking at distribution. It's not to say the officer has to write 16-18, but if it turned out they were slacking off, they may easily see it that way.
>having worked in a number of large organizations, the waste and inefficiencies one can find is absolutely staggering.

Sure, I agree this is true in a general sense (Dilbert cartoons, Peter Principle, etc). However, for things like choosing technology to help with market superiority, companies (especially software engineering companies) will eventually gravitate to something better.

We could argue that companies are "inefficient" for not embracing remote work-from-home instead of open offices, etc. (general inefficiencies). But, even badly run companies don't insist on using inferior floppy drives instead of USB drives or wireless network file transfers. Yes, a law firm might limp along with an 15-year old version of Microsoft Word 2000, but a software engineering company will not. (technology inefficiencies)

> introducing process and bureaucracy isn't always a win.

The Linux dev community also has process & bureaucracy.
See my previous link for the strict and precise formatting rules to submit kernel patches in emails. That's process. Just because it's not in a web form with fields doesn't mean it's not "process". They're just using emails as the workflow for it. (Linus has famously chastised contributors for not following "the rules".) Process & bureaucracy is not bad thing -- its effort just has to match the scope of work being delivered. (E.g. using JIRA for a "hello world" toy program is overkill.) The Linux kernel community seems to have converged on the level of bureaucracy that works for them.

It's interesting that even young YCombinator companies with much less than 4000 employees also don't stay with SMTP email-as-ALM as they get bigger. If email-as-ALM was a better software dev philosophy, there would be a huge arbitrage opportunity to outcompete everybody. Instead, the email-as-ALM fits Linux kernel devs' specific circumstances.
