I'd recommend continuing to look into .NET Core. It's really quite stable these days and has all of the features you've mentioned, as well as C# having a lengthy history as a language. Knowledge is relatively transferrable amongst JS (especially TypeScript) developers, as well as Java developers. This puts you into an area where finding capable people is easy and cost-conscious (vs. niche languages.) Historical baggage has also been trimmed with .NET Core, and Microsoft has done well maintaining the language over time (adding new concepts and removing old ones.)

In a couple years, .NET Core will be even more stable and will surely have convinced the stragglers in the community to adopt it. (I'm seeing this is already mostly the case, because everyone likes not being locked into Windows.)

I'm a pretty big fan of .NET Core (coming from Node.JS) and I really do expect it to grow a lot in the next few years as people discover how easy and sane it is.
Interesting article, kind of wish it started off with some context and simple reporting on the situation though -- I'm not familiar with the story.
What do you mean by desirable?
That seems like a wiser operating plan. Avoids any long term deception.

Looks like only their routing / network was down. My servers just came back up and haven't experienced any power outage.
Adding a bit more detail to the question:

I'm keen to understand people's solutions for sending sensitive data (e.g. CSVs, PDF docs) to third party organisations that can only be assumed to have standard (MS Windows / MS Office) tools at their disposal for decryption.

I'm keen for encryption to be of a modern, robust standard, and preferably available via mac / unix tools.

Thanks HN!
You seem to be overly fond of data structures! ("Cue", rather than "queue")
Sorry, i didn't see the time stamps! You where first! :D
It's pretty hard to just up and make new friends in America past a certain age. Sometime after 30 a lot of people seem to decide that family and career are the only important things in life, and friends get relegated to occasional weekend meetups. They're certainly looking to make any new friends. So if you're in that age bracket and you're looking to meet people your own age, you're largely out of luck.
Swift is a potential competitor in this space too.
You forgot the step of

export TERM=tek4015

With that, various things that I have installed, including the humble clear command and a fair amount of ZLE in the Z Shell, do in fact work. It's not quite nothing.
i guess it all comes down to whether you believe swift is going to get better with time and solve its current issues ( the ones you mention),or if it's inherently a bad design. I'm betting on compilation speed and fragility improving a lot in the next two years. What matters to me is that the language type system is among the best ( enums and optionals) , and the general feeling when coding with the language is a real joy.

For objc, however I've never been able to say anything better than "i got used to it".

Of course we are. We don't like reality, it's cruel and harsh, so we twist reality all the time to make us look and feel better and special.

Just one example - why do all hollywood scifi movies have everything happening in US? I presume it looks OK to you, but ridiculous to anyone outside. World is much bigger (and more interesting) than just US.

I presume, to developed aliens, we would be like neanderthals or less. Primitive, cruel, not thinking much, acting more on emotional impulses. Yepp, that's our world and societies of today.

Bit dramatic and a false dichotomy. It wasn't like he didn't have other choices.
Algorithms are generally incapable of bias.

What an algorithm does is a perfect reproduction of it's instructions plus it's parameters.

The actual bias is either by the designer by making an algorithm that does not fit the intended use properly or by using flawed parameters.

Also known as; garbage in, garbage out. The pipe in between doesn't care if it's garbage.

In your example, this was a decision by a Google engineer or c-level, not the algorithm. The algorithm did as it was told to in exactly the way it was designed without bias or error.

> GraphQL knows all of the data requirements for a UI component up front, enabling new types of server functionality. For example, batching and caching underlying API calls within a single query becomes easy with GraphQL.

And immediately after that the article spends two pages of text explaining how insanely complex the "becomes easy with GraphQL" really is, and offers no actual details on the "easy" part.

Oh, your client has to be cache aware. Oh, and there has to be a gateway that's cache aware, and schema aware, and has to cache all responses... And invalidate them... But there are no tools yet. And then the graphql server should be cache aware. Oh, and your database layer should also cache all responses.

Caching is a hard problem, and there's nothing in GraphQL to make it easier. Heck, exclusively relying on POST requests they deliberately remove the most obvious and the easiest part of the equation.

I love how the every next part, starts ,with a sentence that shows how complex caching with GraphQL is (emphasis mine):

> With GraphQL, frontend developers have the capability to work with data in a much more fine-grained way than with endpoint-based systems. They can ask for exactly what they need, and skip fields they aren’t going to use.

I would love to see an explanation how GraphQL makes caching for this easy.

> Schema stitching is a simple concept: GraphQL makes it easy to combine multiple APIs into one, so you can implement different parts of your schema as independent services. These services can be deployed separately, written in different languages, or maybe even owned by different organizations.

It's called REST APIs and we've known how to do them since 2001.

I have heard about bitcoin when it all started and did not give a damn about it.
Then my friend invested a lot into mining not because of financial incentives but because it was fun. It was fun for him that he bought the GPUs and then ASIC miners.
Bitcoin was worth peanuts back then.

Then prices started to grow.
I thought it was too late when it was on 200.
Then the value dropped. And then again the price increased to 1000$ and again I waved it that it's too late. Then the price dropped to
400 and then again it continued to grow until today.

You will always be late to invest if you do not do your homework or are too risk averse.

Likewise self-employed, I find myself increasingly strict on making new knowledge 'pay rent'. It's heresy hereabouts to say "I don't want to learn that new thing" but if you spend a week learning a new framework or package to solve a problem when you could code up a custom solution in three days, you've wasted time. Learning is an investment and you only get returns if you benefit from the knowledge.

Oddly in Australia, the most played team ball sport is soccer (football).

http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/6123-australian-sports-par...

But the Australian soccer (football) league isn't that big.

I lived in the US though and found that there weren't nearly as many local teams for basketball and soccer as there are in Australia.

In the US it seemed High School football was a bigger deal than school sport in Australia. In Australia it is more organised with local clubs.

Also in the US the colleges run other sport where as in Australia there is just local clubs running that kind of sport and pro-clubs for the highest levels.

The lack of clubs with thousands of juniors may diminish having clubs for seniors too.
I'm not sure about Conda, but virtualenv already does that.
I hate playing the "idiot, its obvious. downvoted" target. HN can be so vicious at times when you would expect someone else to fill in the junior level details. I guess my lesson is to include even the simple blackhat explanations. HN is probably lacking of that kind of crowd...maybe to a boon.

Anyhow, you are all wrong to disagree with me. There were just CVEs for radio chip exploits a couple of days ago! These have been coming out quite often lately. The layer at which these exploits can be done does not require the TV to be on any network. Not even ad-hoc. Just the fact that it has a listening radio chip that has old firmware is enough to make it extremely dangerous [digitally.] That TV can literally became a wifi enabled worm distribution center, infecting everything in your home. Not worth the risk IMO. I would stick with a dumb TV.

Its also because Japanese dont have much to talk about in the first place. Look at their media, its all tabloid level at best, and you would have a hard time finding people who talk about other things than completely mundane subjects in ANY context.

This is predicated on the notion that Bitcoin transactions in contrast to fiat money transactions aren't equal to taking out or paying back a loan: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deflationary_spiral

Paper money essentially is an IOU with a specific value at a specific time. If the value of the underlying currency changes after that point in time that changes the incentive to pay back that IOU because the amount owed is still the same but the underlying value of that amount is different.

The assumption with Bitcoin is that rather than a debt Bitcoin is an asset. If that asset becomes more valuable relative to the market you'd simply pay less Bitcoin for the same goods, simply because you don't have to worry about its value relative to a loan you've either taken out in the past or you're going to take out in the future.

That's the idea at least. Time will tell if it really works out that way but the theory seems to be sound.

I don't know through what kind of mental gymnastics you managed to come to that conclusion but let me try to get rid of your cognitive dissonance.

If chinese engineers are completely worthless then how do american companies manage to let chinese manufacture their products to american QA standards but chinese companies selling to chinese markets fail to adhere to them and only follow chinese QA standards?

It's quite simple if you think about it. American companies have american QA standards. Chinese companies have chinese QA standards. If you buy from a chinese shopping platform you get products that meet chinese QA standards. If you buy from an american shopping platform the products follow american QA standards.

It has nothing to do with competency of the engineers.
I see what you mean but that doesn't make sense to me.

Open source is by definition of the phrase, as well as in practical cases, a program whos source is available. Nothing more.

There are many prominent open source programs that also exist as a licensed product.

That's why I have always believed free software (FOSS) to be the other definition where the software cannot be licensed or sold for a profit.
It certainly makes it suspect by being so clearly related to a phrase created to distract and confuse. (Guns kill people, many people, in accidents.)

Intel is addicted to insane markups on chips. I'm sure their R&D department knows where to go, but the Intel of today cannot subsist on the relatively humble royalties that ARM charges.

On the very high end, they used to have no competition, so they could charge whatever. But that's being eaten by AMD, nVidia and ARM. On the low end, they can't compete with the margins they like.

In the history of that portion of humanity you "belong" to. There are several parts of the world where the last thing people feel before dying is the stink of their own diarrea; or the sound of rockets and drones about to tear them up; or the hopelessness of hunger...

Since you're mentioning statistics, I'll mention the "Polli di Trilussa", whereby if the average says everyone has a chicken to eat and you're not getting any, don't worry because there's someone gorging on two.
Opiate ODs are given naloxone in hospital. It's really effective but they feel like shit. If it's still in their system when they leave, and they try to use, they're more likely to double-dose to get the feeling back.

The problem with opiates (esp in the US) is they ones that are available are too strong and completely unforgiving. Fentanyl is an elephant gun but it's supplanting heroin on streets due to its prevalence (through overuse).

You've got to wonder what a regulated generally-available recreational opiate could do for street safety. It's not just about making sure of the purity, we need help people take the right dose of the right things, so they're not just taking however much of whatever is available.

That, and weaning. I'm sure a lot of these people would prefer not to feel like they do. Quitting opiates cold turkey is not easy.
Living in Japan for many years and i've literally never heard of anything like this. And it's important to bear in mind that there's a notable tendency for non-Japanese-media to play up the perceived weirdness/wackiness of Japan, particularly when it matches their established narrative (overworking, low birth rate, obsession with 'cute' things, &c &c)

On the other hand my particular social bubble is inherently biased so it could well be this happens all the time and I have no idea.
Right, but this isn't about point/counter-point or any kind of civil debate, it's about straight-up constructed lies and actual information.

Also, debate moderators have increasingly been calling out falsehoods during debates. There's a difference between being "wrong" and intentionally lying. I think it's great if the audience and moderators shut down verifiable lies, but of course wouldn't want them to shut down people I just disagree with.

Just use ReactDOM.render into a separate, top-level <div> that is usually empty. And then have the close button of the modal call ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode.

Alternatively, don't bother with all of this and just mount the modal into your children. Use CSS `position: absolute/fixed` to position it. Of course this assumes your ancestor elements don't have certain properties like `position: relative` or `transform` set, but this is usually not a problem.
Well I think for #1 we need to understand how many got on this path from a medical provider. We cannot just assume the epidemic is the result of bad diagnoses. The numbers are just too high. It is just more likely that the price point reached for this strong of a drug and the ability to get it to users reached critical mass.

with regards to #2, it would good to know death rates and severe medical incident numbers in any localities to see how much of an effect such an approach is having.

#3 should be requiring all police departments having the training and recovery drugs necessary to pull someone out of an overdose along with no charges being filed for any parties involved in such a call.

this problem has been around a long time and only recently was it even addressed at the highest levels. it seemed like the problem everyone wanted to ignore
>Some people are just attracted to the crazy unknown

Yes. "Find what you love and let it kill you" somebody said. And most people don't feel safe unless they're living fearfully close to the edge of what is possible for them. In the past men worked till they dropped dead in their 40s to keep their families alive through the winter; women had baby after baby until they died or couldn't otherwise cope.

The strange thing is that, absent those harsh historical conditions, people still want the feeling of an edge, an existential risk. So they gamble, they do drugs, etc.

But these aren't good edges to be on. There are many real, urgent problems the world faces that could benefit from obsessive, risk-seeking commitment to the 'crazy unknown'. Addiction-level commitment. It shouldn't have to be to drugs. How do we funnel ourselves towards these problems?
