http://mobilehtml5.org/ I'm interested in how you would define full-featured. Please check the symbian & opera columns. Also, iOS 1.0 ships with Safari3.0, not Safari3.1.1 in this test.

In iOS 2.0 they introduced a new feature that allows you to save web pictures to Photos.
Full-feature redefined. :)

While I agree with this, the quality of ORMs vastly differs. For instance, the ORM style that wraps sql in a dsl is strictly better than one that encourages model lifecycle callback hell, as activerecord does. The latter is never necessary to work with a database and is a terrible pattern long-term for composing database interactions: it is extremely difficult to reason about what will actually happen inside the transaction (or immediately after).

Tl;dr you aren’t wrong, but many home-rolled ORMs are simpler and much easier to use than, say, activerecord.
Wow, imagine someone trying to make this statement 15 years ago...things have sure changed.

Sure, but the best tech company do contribute to OSS, and this article specifically compare Sephora to those (software) company.
The idea being you incentive WhatsApp users to install your app that then harvests all their contacts and collates the "last seen" info on all of them. If they delete your app, you setup a proxy to imitate their device and continue the monitoring. Have a privacy policy that is super strong but has a couple "loopholes" that one can drive a truck through.

Is that the idea? Seems doable if you're not too risk averse, have no family and live in a country with weak extradition laws. Kidding, there's nothing illegal about any of this stuff or FB, Google and lots of other companies would not be in business.

FB would have a civil claim against you -- they paid several billion dollars for the legal right to all that user data!
People generally don't want particularly smart opponents in games. So, companies often reduce AI intelligence in the name of fun.

Anyway it depends on the game, Factorio as an example tried multi core and going from 1 core to 4 gave a 30% speed boost at the cost a lot of additional complexity. In part because the game has basically zero AI load.

Weak.

It doesn't look like almost any of these can be bought with bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
That's why I mentioned semver. APIs change all the time, backwards compatibility gets broken. Yes, conversions weren't always straight forward, but often were possible, and there was an evolutionary arc to it all, and a migration story to follow, even when sometimes that story was a bit rougher than anyone wanted.
That was due to SourceForge and how they decided not to develop their project and destroy the user experience.

> Both of these practices are extremely unfair and should be eliminated.

I realize this is Hacker News where everything must be rederived from first principles every single thread, but really, these practices exist especially to eliminate situations where extremely unfair hiring practices have existed, de facto or de jure, in the past.

If you don't like what the solution looks like, tough shit. Figure out how to avoid causing similar problems in the future rather than bemoaning the necessary recompense now.
"SSR with Next.js 4 is 2.6x faster and style initialization is 20% faster. According to CSS-in-JS benchmarks, Next.js styles are now the fastest of any library." Although, it doesn't seem [1] that styled-jsx is the fastest.

My area (PL) is dominated by conferences, and I'm pretty sure the chair doesn't screen out submissions, even ones that are obviously cranky.
I thought the movie was okay, but I suspect it worked for me by evoking the experience of reading the book. Maybe it doesn't have much to offer on its own. I would recommend giving yourself a year to forget the movie and then trying the book. You'll know within the first hundred pages if you're going to like it or not.
Haxe 4.0.0 preview 2: final keyword, arrow functions
Looking through their website I'm curious why what they're aiming for can't be accomplished with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or a fork of it, rather than trying to build yet another smartphone ecosystem from scratch?
Bigtable is oltp. You meant BigQuery ?
I've recently moved to clickhouse for some analytical work, and it's been awesome. It's not perfect for what I want, and I'm sure I'm using it wrong, but it's torn through what I have to throw at it and I've not spent any time doing perf tweaks.

There's a connector for redash too, so I can make nice little dashboards from the results.

Major problem is a lack of updates to data. At least loading is fast enough for my use.
Where does Credit Karma show your salary information?
We really need a phone for hackers no matter how small the market is. I hope that's Librem this time after Neo, Ubuntu, FirefoxOS.
The only issue I see with this is that it could affect the delivery of the actual senders, especially if people get tired of receiving them and start marking them as spam instead of unsubscribing.
> Unacceptable. It's now 5+ years since major improvements.

It's disappointing that the curve doesn't go up-and-to-the-right more, but "unacceptable" reads a little harsh to me -- I doubt the lack of big IPC gains for single-core workloads was a voluntary choice. Intel (and ARM, and Apple, and AMD, and ...) are full of engineers trying to come up with clever tricks in the instruction scheduler, or branch predictor, or prefetcher, or cache replacement policy or whatever, that obtain fractions of a percent IPC improvement. It's really hard to improve on something that's been optimized to death for the past ~25 years (since the first CPUs with out-of-order execution), and they'll take whatever they can get.

I do agree that the competition with AMD will certainly be interesting to watch, certainly...
I am using Redshift since two years and, as every database has its own SQL dialect and its own tricks, but it is a really good product. It is a pity that Amazon forked early PostgreSQL v8 and not PostgreSQL v9 (with array support) but if I think about databases I used before (I was admin of a Netezza instance and user of an Oracle instance, they were Data Warehouses too) I realize it is a really big step forward that now we can create with few clicks and witha really fast provisioning time, a database that took days, even month (contracts, waiting they arrive to datacenter, DBAs configuring it, installing it, etc) to have it up and running, that now thinking about Redshift or Big Query it seems to live in another era.
If you have a better way to ensure knowledge based authentication continuity for all online IRS transactions until they switch providers, I'd love to hear it.
I worked in a tech team at a company and only 3 out of maybe 15 people did programming above HTML/CSS/jQuery. At least a third were just management.
That's even worse, because it makes it easier to correlate when two people are Whatsapping with each other. If they both happen to be online at the same time a lot...
> There are few faster ways for someone to ensure I cross their product off my list of things I consider production-ready than to do this.

Care to explain? You don't use Python or other languages where the libraries are built off code that is on github???? You want it hidden into some strange package management system that is closed to developers?
It will probably be a niche product but, regardless, I'm super happy we have an alternative to the current duopoly.

I don't have any personal experience, but I've heard many women without vaginas talk about how good Sephora has been to/for them. So don't worry, that's not happening.
Damn credit karma shows you all that? I don't think I've seen any place where it says how much I've paid for CCs or my bank accounts or my salary (not sure if that's just because it's self-employed/freelance income).
NASA didn’t subsidize SpaceX, like commercial customers it signed contracts for specific services, and specifically because SpaceX was cheap. ULA got $1B a year for “readiness” and its launches cost at least double the cost of SpaceX.

If you want to give credit to NASA for cheap private launch systems, then why isn’t it using them, and has it blown $20B in pork trying to replace them?
1. I've only ever given my SSN to a company in the same packet of information that contained my signed offer letter, so we'd be far past negotiations at that point. If you're worried about them going back and verifying what you said you made, well, you shouldn't be lying about that anyway.

2. I'd hope that people might hesitate a little bit before committing acts of identity fraud on an institutional scale.
Thanks.I wanted an easy script creator from my dynamic yet simple layouts, so I thought of building Cockpit. Now, all I do is re-run the script generated from the app.
Haxe 3.4.4 is released
You can oversell by quite a lot and still meet an advertised speed with 90 or 95% reliability.

If you want to sell 'best effort, no promises' then don't make promises. Or promise something low, like "2mbps" or "2-20mbps".

The real disappointment comes when you can't reach the advertised speed for multiple hours every day. There is much less disappointment in the end if the advertised speed matches a state of moderate, everyday congestion.
If I am wasting time, you're doing the same with generic comments. You provided as much proof as I did.
If you supported Edge or IE for Windows 10 Desktop then it would of supported the mobile version since both use the same platform. So you are still going to have to support this OS if you are targeting Windows for desktop and tablets.
That actually sounds authentic.
If a company gets to 50% women in STEM jobs it means 2 other companies of the same size can't have any.

Or you'd have to recruit from other kind of degrees.

But realistically most companies are already begging for women in tech teams. Not being in the US, I've had some jobs where I've been told if they had just one female applicant the job woul be for them if they can type an Hello World program. But when you have 6 women in a class of 80, half of which are students from another country going back there once they have their degree it's hard to imagine a 50/50 team.

I think the biggest wall is not sexism, but the media using some cases to create the illusion of rampant sexism. Exactly like how people think violence is on the rise while stats show it is down due to coverage.

Well worthless is subjective. There's some value since the camera is pretty great and it can still be used as a legit phone. And I keep tabs on if anyone has built some 3rd party tools for it to turn it into something cool.

I have patience - but I don't want to pay the extra price during the patience time (in fairness, both verizon and apple music are free for 3 months). I'll downgrade and upgrade back when apps are there.

I'm going to downgrade because I know there's only a 14-day time frame for doing that, and I don't want to bet that apps will be there in the next 3 months. I hope I'm wrong of course.
Right. Automation means you can break things faster than ever. When you're asking someone who's already busy to rip out the guts and start over, and, if you're lucky, it will successfully do exactly what the old thing did... what's the incentive? So often in the ops/admin world changes can only make things worse and make your life miserable. And if your team doesn't have the bandwidth to deal with those 2000 users one-by-one.... good luck!
I think the preface tells.
It's probably a combination of high cost of texts at the time when Whatsapp became popular, no limit (or much larger limit) to the size of texts, a reasonable probability of texts not arriving or arriving late and a "fuck telcos for squeezing millions of euros from their users for no other reason than to turn massive profits from texting" attitude.
A late response, but the legal action was threatening to sue me for infringement of their intellectual property because my portfolio included projects I worked on there. It was an obvious case of Fair Use, but like the other guy said, suing me would have been pocket change for my employer and devastating for me regardless of who won. So I took down my portfolio.

PP means that in China, and actually majority places, people don't purchase daily needs on credit.

Yes people still need credit, and typically a government branch keeps track this kind of information.
The GP had exampled one easier and safer way of doing this: sandbox each user in their own Linux instance.

Anything short of that would be sacrificing security for the sake of convenience.
The thing is, this method works pretty well if people are chatting in real time, if you wait like 10 minutes to answers messages, it is much more difficult to create the links.

Moreover if people are using all the time Whatsapp, it is again much more difficult to do.

But I agree with you, there are many situations where these could work
Surely most of them have jobs? Even then, the top 5 cities could each handle a million more people - admitably it would require more infrastructure.

Also there is no rule that big problems can't have simple solutions.

Just so. SQLAlchemy and many other ORMs allow you to simply define an index. ActiveRecord always reimplemented far too much of the database. I'm not sure whether that was due to the state of MySQL functionality at the time or what.
I drink decaf sometimes because coffee does taste good. Caffeinated I only drink rarely, like when traveling and I need to wake up really early.

I remember growing up seeing people brag about how much coffee they drink and how much caffeine they consume and how addicted they are to caffeine - it seemed like a stupid macho dick-measuring contest. Later in life I learned about caffeine tolerance and addiction, and that confirmed my initial biases about regular caffeine consumption.
I don't have time to dig up research on the first, but the effects of representation have been studied at least a sufficient amount.

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

The above would be a good starting point.

On the second, I would retract the only for a "one of the few we know of". Early education work again is key, but there are still cultural struggles.
It's a lot harder to quantify, and it would be irrational to do so here. I mean, how much are you really going to grieve a $3 shipping cost?

It comes down to paying for the convenience of not having to "worry" about the shipping costs.

Personal example: To get to (and from) my boat during boating season I use a launch service. I can pay for the season up front, or I can pay by the ride. The season ticket gives me, let's say, 30 round-trip rides to and from my boat. 30 boat rides is a lot more that the average person actually uses the boat in a normal season.

So at the beginning of the season I can do the math (vacation, work schedule, and so on) about likely usage, then make a decision. If I think I'm going to get out 20 times, I can just say "to heck with it" and get the pass. I'm paying for the convenience of, say, not having to go to the bank every few weeks and get a bunch of bills for the ride. This is a fee I pay for that convenience, and I may end up breaking even after all, and what-not.

But when you buy that item on Amazon you don't have that situation. You're not changing your payment structure- there's no inconvenience if you pay the shipping then or up front (if you had to re-enter your cc for a separate shipping payment you could argue it was one of convenience). You're simply going through the exact same steps as before and spending less money.

Now, if you are arguing that the analysis is up front with your Amazon Prime membership payment at the beginning of the year (like my boating analysis)- estimating your likely shipping charges, then going with Prime if it looks close, then I would agree with you.

But I agree with the original argument-that the convenience of paying more for not having to worry about shipping costs is an irrational behavior, as an economist would define it, one based on emotion rather than an economic analysis.

I do believe in raising the minimum wage, but how does that address the fact that outsourcing and automation have been reducing and will continue to reduce the supply of jobs?

Thousands of people have skills that are not worth enough, these days, to support the lifestyle they are used to. That's the problem here.
"Still in business"? Hell, not only that, their stock continues to go up after bouncing off what appears to be the bottom. Which makes me torn, because despite wanting very much to see Equifax and those of their ilk go out of business, I have a bunch of call options I bought when it looked like low 90s was about as low as they were going to go. I still hold those options (though they're set to expire in about two weeks).

You see, once EFX bounced off its low, I thought I'd catch a "dead cat bounce" with some call options I'd hold for a week and make a few bucks. It's a proven strategy for me, find a company with a scandal, wait a week for it to blow over, make a quick and small profit when it bounces back up. Then unload, because it won't last. Worked for me with United Airlines as one example. But EFX just keeps going up...and up, and I have no idea why. They were always a horrible, if profitable, company. But the Equifax problem isn't even remotely close to being resolved, and yet at the rate it's going it'll be back to pre-scandal prices before long. (Note that I don't believe it will get back to those prices any time soon, but it's trending that way.)

So to answer your question: I don't have a good answer. The almighty market seems to think things aren't all that bad, despite the masses of unpopular sentiment. My best guess is that there are a lot of fingers in that pie (this article being but one example) that don't want to see their source of data disappear. Still can't figure out why that's driving the stock price up, though.
Hi all! It's a very early release, hacked together in a couple of evenings, but it's open source and anyone with an interest in cryptocurrencies can join in & hack on the code.

I think there's a place for discussion price jumps after they happen, for analysis. Not trying to game the system, just learning about what causes price increase/decreases in +10% increments.

Funny you should say that, I just recently registered for a conference where the HTML form could not even be submitted until the "Institution" and "Role at institution" fields were filled in.

I wonder who's actually going to use the breastfeeding emoji.
Yeah, I'm somewhat worried about this as well as 1.5 million is not a lot considering that they actually have to ship phones in the end and can't just pour it all into R&D. I'm assuming that they'll be using mostly commodity hardware (i.MX 8M SoC plus Alibaba-tier chassis, lcd, capacitive layer, etc.) but even then they still have to put everything together and create a deliverable product with reasonably workable software, although I expect that they plan on leaning heavily on the KDE/GNOME/Debian communities. Probably going to flip a coin later this week to determine whether I'm going to back this or not.

That may be so, but WinRT comes with a bunch of limitations, so there isn't really a no-brainer choice for application development, and also, considering how deeply it's associated with the unpopular Windows Store app and Windows phone, who wants to throw in their lot with it? Frankly it hasn't seemed worth investing that much time into any of them and I pretty much just end up reaching for yet another WinForms MVP app. But WinForms practically works against you in the effort to separate UI from behavioral code so that isn't that satisfying either.

Having a credit/debit card in that situation wouldn't help you either. If power is down, then so are the payment terminals and likely also the ATMs. Cash is the only option in that scenario and the prepared take cash out in advance, which you can do with either a card or mobile phone in many countries these days.
