Thanks for the link to Newpipe! Been looking for something like this ever since YouTube disabled playing videos in background tabs.
Not following a dogma pretty consistently in a single code base (or part of a very large codebase) very quickly leads to inconsistent code and bikeshed style of decision making.
True, didn't think of that. Then indeed they are quite useless, and IIRC they are actuallt deprecated in C++17.
Other countries do quite well military-wise, without having domestic aerospace industries. They just buy the planes from other countries that do have them.

Maybe not feasible on a scale such as the US military, but still.
What is really undesirable is to have both pointers and references in one programming language as two separate constructs.
Frustrating twitter replies, to me this is just an ad for the City itself. “We’re not the type of city that works for Amazon, were relaxed, cool, smart ...” They probably never even considered bidding for Amazon lol (not to say they wouldn’t want to if they could, but it’s just a cute ad for the city nothing crazy)
>But at 22nd century level, they’d be able to launch a Bracewell-von Neumann self-replicating interstellar probe...

That's assuming that we'll get to that level by 22nd century (or ever).

I'm not so sure inter-stellar space travel and even space probing at that scale will come to be. Or even a colony as close as Mars -- for the reasons outlined pretty well here: http://www.ecosophia.net/terror-deep-time/
I would upvote you so much more if I could. So many issues I see in reasonings are a direct cause of lack of imagination. What we know is limited. Speculating is interesting. But it's critical to identify it as speculation.
Only final assembly of the planes that are sold to US airlines will be done in Mobile. In the Airbus world, final assembly tends to mean bolting together a relatively low number of finished sections that were produced somewhere else. So a lot of the labor will stay in Canada.
I think a key component of contractors' rights going forward will be legislating their employers' ability to "lock them in" with loyalty programs and the like.

"Ride-sharing" has started to become a commodity and one of the only options left for large companies to out-compete small ones is to have a locked-in supply of drivers. This leads to lowering of standards for registration, temporary incentives, etc. that I think are ultimately bad for the drivers and consumers.

Why should a driver have to decide whether to primarily drive for Uber or Lyft if they aren't an employee of either? If there is no downside to a driver registering for another company, it will allow competition to focus on quality of service, tech, etc. rather than simply having the biggest supply of drivers.

Maybe a driver has a shitty car, but can still register on every app except for the super-upscale one. Maybe a driver hasn't had a background check run, so he can only register for the cheaper sketchy app that most people worried about safety don't use. Doesn't that make more sense than this ridiculous scramble for a "network effect" capable of justifying Uber's valuation?
Please don't add a "social" section to the service, pocket, for instance is very useful as bookmarking service but their recommended is just a BIG distraction but this is only my opinion :(

And of course an API to GET and PUT metadata from the bookmarked links.

Your characterization that the 737 is a 50-year old airframe and wouldn't compete with the CS300 is entirely inaccurate.

Boeing just keeps the same model numbers for a series of aircraft, but through gradual evolution of sub-models the newest 737 MAX that exists today is an entirely different plane from the original 737-100 released in 1966.

Just look at this specification table for the different models on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#Specifications

Pretty much the only thing that's the same is that the fuselage is the same diameter. Everything else from length, height, wing span, passenger count & even how fast it cruises has changed over the years. It now has over twice the range that it did in 1966.

Secondly just because two aircraft aren't exactly the same size doesn't mean they aren't competing for the same market. As an example no airline sits down and decides they need a plane that carries exactly 150 passengers, and 180 would be out of the question.

Instead they look at the overall price, efficiency etc. Maybe they'll buy a smaller plane and run more flights per day, rather than a bigger plane with fewer flights.

You can trivially see this by looking at the multitude of airframes you can choose to fly with between pretty much any two major international airports.

Joe Celko popularised them. I've been unable to find when they were first introduced; but a search of my source code archive points to having written one ~14 years ago.
I wonder if all habitable planets with simple life would have the conditions necessary to create oil and coal. Love them or hate them, they still power most of our civilization. Imagine if we did not have a gas/coal readily available? We refined nuclear as a weapon first. The need for a nuclear bomb might not arise in a power constrained civilization and thus go much long before being discovered (if ever)
Butterfly effect, and as a result of it the theory that whatever we do is the result of chemical reactions happening inside of us. That means a person's behavior can be simulated given all of his state variables, which may be millions in number. So basically, nothing is random; everything in this universe can be predicted.
You might try searching for studies where they did MRIs or other brain scans of people masturbating to orgasm. I think that was the study I saw on the TV show. But it has been a few years.
The sets do not necessarily have no elements in common - their union is the set of all the elements in either of them. (Being a set, it does not have 'duplicates' even if an element appears in both of your A and B.)

The Learned Dog, Lily: A Whist-Playing Victorian Canine
Wouldn't it make more sense to beam all the data from the sensors to a server and sell access to that? Why would anyone need to access the actual satellite?
I completely agree with you here. I also wonder what other effects this could have on public higher education. My university was largely funded by the IP created by grad students and other property owned by the university.

Undergraduate student fees were actually paid to the state board of education, the university then got only a fraction of that back. The state provided less than a third of the budget to a state university.

This was actually less than the cost to educate an undergrad and so grad students work was used to subsidize undergrads who in turn subsidized other public schools in the state.

Grad students do deserve fair compensation for their work but if that happens it will exacerbate the problems caused by under funding public education. I hope I see the time when we solve these problems and I think this is a step in that direction.

I learned a lot from bypassing the deep freeze software they used on school PCs, from hiding games on network drives and bypassing the proxy servers.

It was a hell of a lot more fun than the actual "computing classes", which were basically just learning to use MS Word.
Just a reminder that there are many people who prefer not to think in objects.

Rant: Personally since working on my game engine in C, my architecture has become so much simpler, I can easily avoid unnecessecary allocations. My code is much more coherent. Aspect-oriented - which is not at all OO spirit, since OO encourages (trying) to bundle things in self-contained packages.

Yes, that seems hard to believe, since there is so much bad C code out there. With allocations, strings, file system operations etc. all over the place, just as in typical OO code. (Of course some things are really hard to do in C vs C++. The point is forcing myself to have a good architecture and avoid having to make many meaningless decisions).
The main difference is that General Assembly has product differentiation, and where you studied has signalling value. Where you rent your office space, much less so. Hence, WeWork produces a highly commoditized product, which will continually be subject to competitive pressure.
When or if? I heard one talk about Valhalla some time ago. If this project succeeds it will either be a miracle of engineering or a nightmare to use.

Just one example: Java's type erasure trick does not work anymore when value types are type parameters, so it affects the build process. The current approach seems to be to construct specific instances at run time (or rather at class loader time). That is very late though, because some information (like return types) are lost after compilation.
Confidence mainly, if you're an extrovert who exudes confidence, people will listen.

You're also speculating. Your original post is quite literally a list of 'what if' scenarios.

Not the only one. There may well be an armada of these probes on their way, but so far away in one of the billions of galaxies that the metric expansion of space means they will never reach us even at near-lightspeed - or may reach us long after we've become extinct. Or may miss our pale blue dot entirely. It's a freaking big universe.
Yes, they're correlated. If that's the only understanding you have of the relationship, would you agree with my assertion that the cost of employing a grad student is about 10% of the median cost of an employee?
It's pretty clearly key-logging and on top of that they've had poor security in the past which is not great when they're key-logging everything you type.

Personally I can't say I took the high ground though I just blocked swiftkey with a firewall and figure that's good enough for me.
> Product X having a stupid schema is not a good basis for an argument for or against a particular product.

What other way could Magento have implemented user-defined columns at the time, using a RDBMS? In 2009 when MongoDB was released, JSON columnstores were something to dream of and the alternative was storing serialised data in a BLOB field. That "stupid schema" did not have an alternative I can think of, except NoSQL.
I don't agree they are useless - they don't stop you from accessing nullptrs, but they do help manage the lifetimes of your dynamically created objects.

And I haven't seen anything indicating unique_ptr is to be deprecated - maybe you're thinking about auto_ptr.
That doesn't have much to do with my point, also the brain is the original neural network. If anything you should argue to call artificial neural networks by a different name.

If Uber is successful in getting drivers on the road in anticipation of high demand in a given area at a given time, they will not need to activate the surge charge.
Well, it depends. Often people consider the simulation as the stereotype of sci-fi simulations we read or watched about. But it could be much more than just "being in a computer".
std::optional is available in C++17. It has also been available in boost for a veeery long time.

Lack of good sugar for pattern matching sometimes makes its use a bit awkward though.
I think we're off on the wrong foot here. I agree with you that median cost to the employer and median income are not exactly the same thing. I asked if you thought that changed the substance of my argument, and you didn't reply.

I assume your 10% figure here is purely rhetorical, since per my estimate and sibling comment's the cost of employing a graduate student is at least $50k. So your 10% estimate would imply the median cost of an employee is $500k, which is obviously not true.

I don't want to drive this further into nitpicking so I will conclude this exchange by conceding, again, that median income and median cost to employer are not the same thing. Have a good day.
That was inspiring! Thank you for that.
You can make a McDonald's menu that can represent everything you want to say in a text language with 100% power/syntax parity. But then it becomes too burdensome for the user. Just like most visual programming languages that have all these features make things much more complicated just to make it visual.
I don't get the buzz about null pointers. They are not a problem. They become a problem when you start checking for null where null is not acceptable (most of the places null can't be a meaningful input), which is where is where the original intent starts to become unclear.

Let it go. Let it crash. Just assume inputs are non-null (except where null makes sense). Even C crashes safely on null pointer dereference.
It's a beautiful analogy. Especially since we as so keen on learning by repeating something we saw.
The update section of that blog post is very interesting for the ways to attempt subversion. Sure beats the locked down web browser based solutions I have seen.
As someone who has actively avoided all forms of mainstream news for the last two years I naturally agreed with everything in this article. For me, the most profound point is that most news has absolutely no explanatory worth at all. I got fed up of reading about conflict, death and war and not being able to glean any real non superficial insight into why it's all happening.

I find that major news events tend to reach my attention through friends and colleagues so I don't feel totally disconnected and can definitely attest it has made me happier.
We have in mind the "block-based editor" or "content builder" solution you're talking about. This could be relatively easily created having CKEditor as its base. This means that CKEditor may not be the ready to use way for it but it provides a good framework to develop such solution.

For example, its powerful widgets system [1], which can be used to handle "blocks", providing at the same time an excellent user experience.

At the same time, it would avoid issues that we see with the current solutions or prototypes available out there. For example, paragraphs would not be treated as separate blocks, like a video embed, but instead, they would be part of the content flow. This would allow for easy selection of multiple paragraphs. This would also avoid issues with large selection copy-and-paste.

What is needed here, is work. And this work much probably would go beyond the CKEditor scope, because it needs some level of integration with the application. It needs the development of such "blocks, and control of its behavior. All this on top of a dedicated UI solution, maybe in some senses similar to what we have with Letter [2].

There are hundreds of different use cases for editors. Our intent with CKEditor was designing a decent framework for others to build on top of it. It would be great to see the community getting together to bring such solutions to life. We're more than happy to help.

I think that's addressing a different problem. There are two distinct issues:

1. Is the data correct?

2. Has the data been changed?

For many cases, 1) is not solvable in software.

I'm not sure I really understand why 2. is something best solved with a blockchain with a private group, but given people who have actually looked into this when I haven't think it's relevant means I'm probably missing something either on the requirements, difficulty to implement or features.
This is an interesting idea but from what I know carrying computation in the space just because it's really cold might not be as good as it seems: space it's almost empty (not really a vacuum but with very few matter). This means that in space you can't really loose heat by contact but only by emitting infrared radiations. This means that although space is really cold an object put in space will take some time to cool down. Correct me if I'm wrong but given the fact above I don't see a clear advantage in using space as a heatsink.
Trophy has a version for LVs that’s can do that so can some other APSs.
tl;dr, headline is false. Smartphones aren't killing people. Stupid behavior is killing people.

They know better, and they do it anyway.

Smartphones make it easy for everyone to record all of their phone calls, protecting them from phone predators. They provide location capabilities which make it easier for rescuers to find victims of accidents. So on and so forth.

Smartphones are great. Stupid people are going to find ways to kill themselves no matter what tools you place in their hands. It's natural selection.
>Twenty-one percent of respondents told industry site StackOverflow that MongoDB was the most popular database, second only to versions from the dominant technology, SQL, which traces its roots back to legacy technology companies such as Microsoft, IBM and Oracle.

Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle are legacy technology companies? What kind of hipster journalist wrote this article?
> Also, as much as I would like a 15” screen, the off center keyboard is a deal-breaker. It’s just asking for RSI.

Agree. Is entering numbers with a numpad so common use case that it justifies the inclusion of mini-numpad at the cost of off-centering the main keyboard?
That sink concept sounds really cool. I would really want that semantic in my C and C++ code.
I'm sure someone has simulated that but it appears highly likely that a planet with plants (or any carbon based life) will at some point "generate" fossil fuels.

And maybe, if we hadn't found oil, we would've come up with more efficient ways to use electricity generated from renewable sources. Would've taken longer but we could've made up for that later in the process. Batteries were known at the time of the oil revolution and electricity from hydro & wind were also known.
I was thinking more alongside of mobile systems, true, but I never heard of SailfishOS. I think it's pretty irrelevant in the market right now.

Also FOSS software can't solely be attributed to the one guy who started it. I would say the Linux Kernel is global and it took a lot from Unix.

As others pointed out, you assume that other civilizations have similar technologies, motives, potential, political situation (or politics at all) and even material structure or needs.

It's all speculation.

We have satellites and yet know very little of what's happening in other countries. We mistake their needs and intents all the time. We are regularly surprised of what they are capable or incapable to do. And yet those are identical being living in the same spot as us.
Nice list. I’d also add Node and NPM since you can’t do much front-end without those these days.
Really? I am not personally acquainted with any rapists or creeps (not knowingly, anyway). Why would anyone be?

Intervening all the time whenever somebody says something silly to a woman could also be very patronizing. Exactly the thing feminists then claim they don't want, because it makes the assumption women are weak and unable to speak for themselves.

As for this current "men could do more" meme: lets compare it to theft. I think theft is more common than sexual assault. Could men to more to prevent theft? Does every man know somebody who is a thief and lets it slide? I don't think so. Likewise, the idea that most men stand by why their fellows abuse is nonsense.
I think you’re mistaken, simply by observing the incredibly high amount of drunk driving that goes on in my city. It’s indicative that alcohol can have very strong effects on inhibition and judgement.

> It would not be “informative” for me to research anything, since I already know about the soy lecithin angle and didn’t think it was worth mentioning.

Whereas I would suggest it's precisely the kind of interesting insight that you should have shared, given its potential importance to the discussion, and the fact the word lecithin doesn't appear anywhere in TFA or HN comments (at the time).

Anyhoo, ultimately I did manage to learn something interesting from your 'where I'm standing right now there's shops nearby that sell chocolate that I like' contribution. So that's good.
