Can sombebody explain this:

"A: It does not matter whether Apple Face ID "learns" new images of the face, since it will not affect the truth that Apple Face ID is not an effective security measure. However, we knew about this "learning", thus, to give a more persuasive result, we applied the strict rule of "absolutely no passcode" when crafting the mask."

Does it mean passcode was completely off and the phone would not lock itself after a few failed attempts? Because there's a difference between trying until it works and getting a mask within 24 hours that does not fail three times.
This is the infamous "nothing to hide" argument in a different form.
Much of nalgebra's woes come from it trying to be n-dimensional without support for constants-in generics yet (this is in the works). To do this it does crazy wizardy using traits to model numbers at compile time. It's impressive for sure, but the compile errors are equally impressive. Which is why work is being done to add support for constants in generic parameters.

But this is the case of one library. Another library to suffer from poor errors is the futures lib, but that will be solved with the `impl Trait` syntax that is in the works.

Definitely agree it's a good idea to have a balance when it comes to generics, but likewise I'm glad folks are pushing the boundaries and finding room where things could be improved. It does take time for the language to catch up though, but they're working on it. Lots of good stuff is coming out of the current impl period.
Doesn't SQLite of all things include an (optional) native full-text-search engine?
No, it was actually the people setting up the stage accidentally triggered Face ID often enough that it fell back to passcode. Could find a link to Apple's explanation if needed.
The road ahead is Elixir / Phoenix.

Parent merely stated that we are already over-consuming with rather high death rates, not having any deaths at all most certainly wouldn't help with our current unsustainable ways, as we'd most likely overpopulate the planet pretty quickly with all it's resulting woes (even more pollution, killing off the rest of the biosphere).

Imho it'd only work the other way around: For us to beat death, we first have to solve our sustainability/resource problems.
What point is there to "endlessly living" if the reality of that boils down to being stuck in overcrowded and miserable living conditions? That sounds more like hell than utopia.

Which you can already do. This is exactly what business class is, right now! For example, the top deck of a BA 747 is entirely lay-flat business seats, which are incredibly comfortable for long haul.

Yes, I think it makes more sense to monitor and gather data on what comes out of your body instead of monitoring what goes into it(e.g. all smartwatches/diets).

I'd like to one day have a room-sized analysis unit which screens feces/urine of all attached toilets and performs various tests on it. Analysis results could be assigned to individuals based on the DNA footprint.

It could immediately tell you that your sugar intake is too high or that you should drink more water. With this kind of immediate feedback people will be able to live healthier because they can correlate food <-> result on their body.

Also we could do so many interesting studies..
> Is it likely that a leak would impact the Russian election?

I'm russian and Russia is more unstable than many believe. This alone[0] is likely the reason P. postponed his equivalent of the State of the Union speech, which was unheard of before.

[0]http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/us-senate-attempts-inc...

There is also the fact that P. has still not announced that he will run, and in this case silence is deafening. It means that there is a very severe conflict behind the scenes - the ruling elites have not agreed whether he should run or someone else should run as his successor that will guarantee his personal safety and not let him get the Milosevic treatment in Hague for the events in Ukraine.
Django makes a crazy use of reflection (and the higher concept that Python has of Metaclasses).

I don't really see how Go would make a better job than Python at something like Django.

The upside of Django is that you write so little code and all is covered. The downside, is that you have to test it carefully.
I highly recommend Laravel. It's php based and ticks all your boxes except the admin ui * . It's old enough to be stable and have a large ecosystem of plugins and stackeoverflow answers.

The most important thing for me was the high quality official and free unofficial docs (laracasts).

I've used it for a little more than a year and always reach for it for my commercial work now.

Oh it also has really good Vuejs support if you wanna get fancy with a js framework sometime.

* There are some starting projects on github with admin uis, but I haven't tried any yet.

You said "open source Rust based MK OS..." Does that mean an OS written in Rust? I had not heard of that. As I recall the Rust support for RISC-V is quite limited for now until the LLVM patches go upstream (which will be soon).

I agree with your statement "I have no idea how successful we will be and I frankly do not care." There will be a lot of benefits as a result of this work regardless of the immediate outcome. Keep building the future!

There are a lot of comments here on HN that seem completely uninformed of what's actually happening with RISC-V. They are about to be surprised.
How to have clients find you (rather than you chasing them)
I have been working as a web developer for 10 years. Here is my little secret. I have started with PHP, then moved to Rails, then to Node. Guess what? I am finally back to PHP. Why? Because I am tired of chasing the hype to feel cool. I just need to get things done and PHP is just that. I like to use Vanilla PHP, but if you need more features, I would suggest Laravel.

I've heard that a lot from drivers all over the U.S. They run both apps and whichever gives them the next ride, they take.
I think it's not really about the tech but the constraints and the goals of your project with the resources you have.

For a lot of CRUD use cases a Web App/SPA is not really needed and a classic "monolith" can go quite far, and for this I find Rails still unmatched (maybe Django or Laravel too but I'm not familiar with it). You can have something up and running with nearly everything you listed in a week-end.

If you need a SPA you can still use Rails in API mode in the back-end with a front in React/Vue.

And if you are not about short-term productivity gains and looking for more long-term maintainability and scalability, then you can have multiple services in any language that fits you (static typing, ...) using the appropriate micro-framework for each.
TinyTiny RSS community sends dead threads to the 'gas chamber'
I read David Allen's book in 2002 and immediately started implementing it. At first it felt like godsend. Capturing every "open loop" (everything that is not the way it should be = everything with a delta between current and desired state) and deciding for each of them if there is any action that I need to take and if so, what the very next step was - that practice alone released a ton of energy and gave me a sense of control. Prior to that I felt overwhelmed, had a sense of anxiety that there are things in my life that should be different.

Over time I realized that what GTD was missing (or not stressing enough) was the insight that in addition to knowing your commitments and deciding what we need to do to make them move forward we need to constantly remind us that resources are limited and priorities are not distributed equally but rather very asymmetrically. Only a few activities will have a major impact on our lives. The key is to focus on a few activities and deliberately ignore the other "80%". And while we ignore the other activities we have to learn to deal with the stress of not doing the other activities.

David Allen's method encourages people to keep lists of open issues. That's a very good practice. But it lacks the advice to implement a filter: To ignore 80% of the potential issues before we let them onto our lists. And to endure the stress that is caused by ignoring most of the things that want our attention.

Tl;dr: GTD does not stress making decisions and setting priorities enough (even though it mentions it in many chapters).
Beck has been waging a pretty high-profile PR war against ride-sharing in this city..

But Beck Taxi are also the face of everything that's wrong with taxis in Toronto, so most people here don't take their position very seriously, and they do not have much goodwill from the population (or from taxi operators in a lot of cases).

That said, in the last few months whenever I talk to my Uber driver about "how things are going", the majority of them complain about slowing business, and making less money and getting less rides..

It seems like, anecdotally speaking, the downtown area in particular is pretty saturated with drivers, and while this is great for riders (I almost never wait more than 2-3 minutes no matter where I am), it's probably less great for drivers.
While I agree in general, airports are a bit different. Reading the title of this article I thought, "Good". It's their job to surveil and monitor the airport to the best of technology and law. It is our job to regulate what big brother can and can't do. While security is ridiculously dystopian and over the top, the climate of our world has forced this in airports, so of course they're going to be using all the tech possible. We just need to set the rules for this tech.

For a well known example of how this matters, consider the Pentium 4. Intel designed it with a deep pipeline on the assumption that they'd be able to reach higher clock speeds than was actually possible. At the intended 10GHz, the Pentium 4 would have had impressive performance for the time. But they couldn't achieve that clock speed, so they had to revert to the simpler pipeline design first used in the Pentium Pro and continue development from there.
Getting Started with Mining Cryptocurrencies
Haha, yeah, the idea was the first book covered the Americas and it's native people before Columbus (and white folks in general) arrived, so 1491. He admits early on that folks had arrived before 1492, but decided it was a more recognizable year.

And then the second book covered how global trade and traffic started changing the world after the arrival of other folks in the Americas, but it wasn't about the arrival itself, so 1493.
So, why don't you purchase premium economy seats, which are exactly that? Probably ~50% more, but for ~50% more comfort.
I’ve seen one case, not saying the generic model is not an issue, where this was particularly bad.

You're making the mistake of changing one parameter, but not projecting the entire world forwards. Immortality would be impossible without massive technological improvements that certainly would have other benefits; you can pretty well assume that both molecular nanotechnology and genetic engineering will be mature by then.

In combination, those should dramatically increase the carrying capacity of the world.

Ignoring all of that, though... Don't you think it's likely that people will start caring more about the future onceb they know they'll live to see it?
"leads to" is a really dangerous term here.
Your feature list almost read like a feature list for Django.

I don't believe in a "best tech", it depends on what you're building, the skills of your team, there's no point in picking Python/Django with you have a talented PHP team who would could accomplish more, faster, with Laravel.

Also if performance is hugely important, then Go or Java might be a better choice... And Java developers are still easier to find. Depending on where you're located you'd also have an easier time finding a good PHP developer than a average Python developer.

I like to start with Node.js and add modules from npm as needed. For example I'll npm install:

- `websocket-stream` for websockets support.

- `secure-password` for password security.

- `is-my-json-valid` for API/scheme validation.

- `level` for data persistence on disk.

- `sodium-native` or `sodium-universal` for crypto.

Mostly I use The Lebron Stack[1].

For client work I still use php, and we typically put them on WordPress or CraftCMS. Those are usually typical CMS builds and don't require anything too fancy aside from maybe a few plug-ins.

I want electric vehicles to succeed more than anyone, but lets not delude ourselves:

Tesla's batteries are not that energy dense, they are currently 140 Wh/kg[1]. A 400Kwh battery will weigh at least 6000 pounds.

A 400Kwh will get you maybe 150 mile loaded range, 200 gallons of diesel in a semi is a 1300 mile range[2]. To compete with a 400Kwh battery pack you only need to carry 25 gallons of diesel.

Charging a 400 kwh will take at least 3 hours on a supercharger, vs a few minutes for diesel. Its simply not practical for "long haul" as claimed. For it to be usable for long haul you need at least 500-600 miles for a days driving then charge overnight (even that is low for a truck driver). 600 miles is a 1200Kwh battery at 24,000 lbs costing more than the truck with some kind of faster charger so it can be ready in 8 hours.

Bottom line diesel is 30x times as energy dense as current battery tech and that not even counting how much efficiency is left on the table for diesel, the various super trucks programs are showing real world 10+mpg on a semi vs the current 6.5mpg standard by doing secondary heat recovery like a power plant among other things.

The Tesla semi might have some use for local urban delivery but I am highly skeptical of any "long haul" highway replacement claims, will be very interested in the real specifications come Thursday.

the difference between UI and UX.

This sort of criticism is neither helpful nor accurate. UI has always been about more than just cosmetic details. We've been talking about usability, accessibility, information architecture and so on for almost as long as we've been making UIs. Certainly that means several decades before someone in need of a new buzzword for their blog/presentation/resume first coined the term "user experience".
The problem is the implementation, not the feature.

In my opinion your requirements are a little fuzzy. If you're developing a website (no hard database requirements) you could go with something easy as jeykill, middleman or gatsby. If you're developing a web application I would try to evaluate my future needs:

Need #1: Since I don't know what my users will do I need to be agile and quickly adapt to business changes.
Tool #1: Rails - the flexibility of RoR is still unbeatable. Especially if you're a startup this is really a timesaver. Furthermore it's no rocketscience to develop a decent frontend on top using React or Vue.

Need #2: Shitload of people will use my site.
Tool #2: Elixir / Phoenix has kick ass performance and language and framework are well written and thought through.

Need #3: My whole team are frontend devs who just know JavaScript.
Tool #3: Maybe Node.js is for you. In the past I've rarely seen a good Node.js backend project but if you're really disciplined (aka writing a lot of tests) it should be doable.

Need #4: My project is a FinTech and I need to talk to banks.
Tool #4: Java/Scala/Clojure since you'll might talk to these services directly and all of the have JVM based SDKs.

Need #5: I'm a microsoft consultant.
Tool #5: Well then go with C#/F#.

Are Lyft's incentive better than Uber? Or is that they are better because they are the underdogs? AFAIK many drivers service all ride share apps at any given time.

> At the end I would see on paper that there is too much stuff going on in my head, something that I already know...

The point is that you get it out of your head, and let it go, to focus on the task at hand. The fact that this physically accumulates outside of your head, is just a side effect, and just points out that you can't do everything, and so you have to let go of some task or idea, maybe for today, maybe forever.

I used to use GTD, but nowadays I mostly just use the "capture" part, a.k.a LET IT GO OUT OF MY SYSTEM DAMMIT. The remaining steps just sort themselves out as things are falling into very different buckets: a. very general life goals (non actionable by themselves due to their large scale, virtual nature, and can only be achieved by habit as well as internalising what I truly want, but certainly not with reminders), b. whatever I fancy doing when I happen to have some free time (for which I may go back to a quickly jotted draft of step 1, and since I'm in the mood for it, well, I just do it), c. very concrete errands and other mundane tasks.
You can build a lot using only plug and maybe ecto as orm.
