I'm a huge Postgres fan and yes I'm probably biased towards it. I do think it's probably the best open source database out there, but I also don't love these types of posts.

What makes something better than another things is a whole host of things, not just highlighting one really bad case from the other side. I'm sure if the MySQL world wanted they could point out ways that MySQL is so much better than Postgres. Just look back at how long it too for us to get upsert, we're finally getting a better replication story in recent years. To take this one case and highlight it doesn't put the Postgres community in a positive light and it's a shame, because most I know within the community value good engineering work.

MySQL has had a lot of people that contribute to it and has some good things about it, it might be worthwhile for us to pay more attention to where they are better and just focus on improving Postgres and leaving things at that.
Capacitive buttons are also highly sensitive to noisy ground busses. A cheap power supply can make one go haywire.

Want to bet the developers all had good clean power while the production units got cheap Chinese bricks?
Russia is not an enemy. You have been conditioned by mainstream media. Who the real enemy of you and your family is, controls what you watch, what you hear, what you learn. 90% of all degeneracy that is to be witnessed in Western Civilization can be attributed to these group(s) of people. I will not be going any further.
Yes. Edit: Well, it means the users who repeatedly upvote crap comments eventually have their votes ignored.

By 'crap' I mean something not as subjective as that sounds, which you can gather by reading those links and https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
There absolutely is when those 20+ seconds are jump cut in the middle of a calm interview.

The debate itself was far more than 20 seconds. It is entirely selective.

I clicked on the video because I was interested in an example of this high velocity, arcane, rule-optimized debate game that we're all talking about on this story. What I got instead was a video cutting the most shocking and ineffective parts of their performance in with them discussing their win on TV, done for effect. Come off it. I could record your next presentation and edit out all but the parts where you said "umm" and you'd look like a moron. Even more so if I then creatively cut that in with video of you explaining to your boss how you'd done a great job in the meeting. (I have no idea what you do; I am sure you can understand the analogy).
Another aspect is when the linking happens.When building the application? When running the application (plugins)? You mention "to compile" and "to run", but that is an orthogonal design dimension.

So, currently we have four ways to resolve dependencies:

1. Specific at compile time (import in source file via compiler)

2. Unspecific at compile time (via build system)

3. Specific at run time (shared library via OS)

4. Unspecific at compile time (via plugin system)
Designing an Enterprise Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) System
They should add this as a shortcut button in Firefox. I think it makes even more sense than having the Pocket icon there. Not everyone may want to save their articles on another service, but pretty much everyone needs to send a file privately to someone else every now and then. So something like this should be super-easy to access.

I learned about Firefox Send when it launched but completely forgot about it until now. I would definitely use it more if it had an easy-to-access (read: not burried in the Settings page) shortcut in the browser.
Two thoughts on this:

1) Fascinating story. I had no idea the Ainu existed. Their way of life seems very reminiscent of the Haida and other indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest.

2) I thought the author's description of the iyomante was precious and patronizing. TLDR: according to the article, the iyomante is the ritualized slaughter of an adult bear that has been taken from its mother as an infant and raised in confined captivity. It's not a quick death, according to the article:

> At the start of the ceremony, an elder offered a prayer first to the goddess of the fire and hearth, Fuchi. The elder led the men to the bear cage. They prayed. They released the bear to exercise and play, then shot him with two blunt arrows before strangling and beheading him, freeing the spirit. People feasted, they danced, they sang. They decorated the head and an old woman recited sagas of Ainu Mosir, the floating world that rested on the back of a fish.

I get that knowing how this ceremony was carried out is extremely important anthropologically, and there's something to admire in the extent to which the Ainu were connected to the ecosystem in which they lived. That said, I thought the article really went out of its way to romanticize the captivity and torture of a non-domesticated wild animal.
Alright, I’ll bite. Achieving a certain level of quality requires a certain level of knowledge. It’s possible for a full-stack developer to be effective, sure, but it’s very difficult to be effective, high quality and fast.

I’d argue that to be a high quality, effective and fast front-end developer these days you need most of:

- deep knowledge of HTML5

- deep knowledge of CSS layout and text standards

- deep knowledge of modern JavaScript

- good knowledge of 5+ different browser families and their versions going back 5 years

- good knowledge of accessibility best practise and the various groups of assistive technology

- good knowledge of the rendering pipeline in multiple different browsers, and the ability to write code that will not cause jank in the user experience

- ability to set up and maintain a build chain

- an eye for design, and the ability at least to talk to designers about implementation problems

It’s absolutely possible to have all of these things, but is it possible to have them all along with the same high quality equivalents on the backend? Doubtful.

I don't play as much as I used to, but these days most 2D things I come across are based on Unity.

Was not aware of the extensions made in QB64 over QBasic (though I knew the author had extended QB64) - thanks for pointing that out.

Given labor costs, packaging/disposables, energy (freezer, grill, holding cabinet, environmental, ventilation), franchise percentages, real estate lease, shrinkage/waste, promotional discounts/combo meals...yes. It comes very close.
Well, you can with FTP and UPnP. You the client gets the external IP of the machine, then use UPnP to open ports on the router/firewall, then uses PASV and connects to the destination. The destination runs an FTP server, that uses UPnP to open up the incoming port, and gets its external IP and uses it for PORT mode. The end result is two individuals behind NAT sharing arbitrary files in bulk. You can even tie this into FXP to do syncing with the cloud.

Or run a local SFTP server with UPnP and avoid the extra complexity.

In terms of finding each other, the client could get its external IP, open up a UPnP port, and provide the user with a QR code or brief snippet to paste into a chat conversation, which the other user would feed to their client to initiate the file transfer.

You could do this commercially by providing an external website with which the clients could communicate out of band to set up their transfers (for free), and (for pay) optionally provide a cloud sync service (which would help person A "pre-send" a big file transfer until person B was available to receive it).

While some of this is available today, you're right, I don't think there are accessible clients. ICQ, AIM and IRC used to be the solution, as they all did P2P file transfer. But now everything is on the web, so everything sucks.
Maxwell's Equations
Maybe they can factor out those event/location-driven trends, or dampen them down.

I think the Christmas example is a good one, I wouldn't want half my Discover to have Christmas songs- but I wouldn't mind having 1 or 2, perhaps from an artist I had never realized had a christmas single.
You're doubling down on what I asked you not to do, which is casually sling accusations of mental illness with an internet swear word. If you do it again we will ban you.

Even if you were right in this case (which you have no evidence for, just a connect-the-dots cartoon, and few dots at that), this would still be so. "Sociopath" comes even before "shill" on the feces-throwing internet trigger list. Every time we tolerate such a violation of the site guidelines encourages others to do the same. That slope is both slippery and steep. Since my #1 job is to (try to) prevent HN from plummeting to its death down it, it's not like this is a hard call.
How do we know he didn't leave it unsent because he was still unsure if he wanted to commit to that course of action?

I write "drafts" of things and leave them unsent from time to time. After a cooling off period I decide that I don't actually feel that way or think better of it.

Unsent to me is a really bold line to cross. Email / draft form stuff is a scratchpad for developing how you feel and working out your thoughts.

I'm sure it also means any other deviation from the norm. Framed as something intrinsically bad, or at least indicative of deafness to tone.
Actually: It is quite well substantiated that the NSA has a mandate to usurp, and has factually usurped all technology in its purview, for its purposes - i.e. American information technology corporations, manufacturers, and so on, are bent to its will - it is treasonous for Intel to allow IME to be completely disabled, cf., the Yahoo case against NSA, etc.

The fact of secrecy around this issue is the only thing to be doubted. Its no secret to non-Americans/concerned citizens; if you choose to continue to be ignorant, I choose to set you the challenge: go and find out for yourself just how bad it really is with the NSA. (It is atrocious.)

Thank you very much! Both contributing and working (using it as a CMS in various projects) with Wagtail were an absolute joy!
> "Trump may have doomed us to an endless flood of celebrity politicians..."

We've had numerous celebrity politicians before Trump. Franken, Reagan, Arnold, Ventura, Springer, etc... The list continues[1] and it definitely wasn't Trump that was the first (although he holds the highest position of any of the other celebrity-actor-politicians, without having first held another political position).

EDIT: Clarified my comment on Trump being the "first" celebrity-president
The killer feature is the ecosystem. You have plug and play libs for every thing.
That sounds interesting but from searching around I can't find anything about that, do you have a link?

Aha, thank you. You learn something new about this site every day. Sometimes I wonder just how many robots (and humans) there are, ensuring that these discussions don't fill with crap.

This is probably because particular visual languages were designed specifically for non-programmers, and programmers who use them find that features they take for granted in more mainstream languages are missing.

In my language's IDE, you can set breakpoints or step through the code and inspect the contents of the the tagged value queues at the inputs of vertices.

No you couldn't. This is from the point of view of the US state. The US is not a direct enemy of the US.
Mac? No!! Apple controls every aspect of your life on a Mac. Linux and especially custom built ISO is your only option for privacy.

Plus if you assemble the RAM and processor by yourself, you never know how much viruses are there in our bootloader!

All the journalist is doing is setting the scene for what it might be like to work in that environment and the sorts of activities the scientists are involved in, for the benefit of a general audience. Some readers might not know much about what it's like to work in a nature reserve, it clarifies that the rocks weren't necessarily taken from drilled samples. It doesn't take away anything from the directly relevant content about the science. I read articles like this with my kids sometimes, but even for me conjuring a sense of place is useful.

Now if the content about the science was wrong, or misleadingly simplified, that would be a valid complaint. The recently linked article on baryonic matter discovered between galaxies didn't clarify that it wasn't talking about dark matter, which a lay reader might have assumed. That was a valid complaint. But this just seems a bit silly to complain about.
It was a production defect, it was not working as designed. The software fix to disable the feature on all devices before they start being sold means there is little likelihood that this specific problem will impact any customer.

Google jumping to fix it now helps their bottom line as much as their reputation, and is just smart business. Trying to cast it in a negative light seems biased, its more a "common sense/good business decision" than a positive or negative action.
California drug pricing bill will cause speculative buying and hurt supply chain
That would be awesome. Even if we could somehow prevent loss of life and manage the fallout of a Yellowstone eruption, there would still be one really tragic casualty - Yellowstone itself. Maybe it would be replaced by something even better... eventually. But if it can be saved from super volcanic death, that seems like a really awesome thing.

Of course, then one has to wonder if that sort of interference in major geological processes will have some other bad side-effects in the future.
The only way that no one lives in it is if there is such a huge housing surplus elsewhere that no one needs to. This will not happen in the US, because it puts the rent-seeker class at a disadvantage, and they give money to political campaigns.

There is no suburb so rotten that someone won't buy up pieces of it to extract as much money as they can from its local economy, and then not spend that money back in.
Rust has not brought much new in terms of modules. It just has decent modules support according to established best-practice. The innovations are primarily around the borrow-checker.
