I've noticed food evolves in a particular way when it arrives to a new country. It's logical that food needs to be adapted to the country taste in order to get popular, but what it intrigues me is that it usually becomes more "complex", a lot of new ingredients are added, and the original refinement is missed.

A good example is pizza, I'm from Mexico, so I was get used to pizzas with a lot of different ingredients and a specific shape: https://tinyurl.com/y7wd7hl6

So I was really excited to taste the real stuff in Italy and then I got shocked when I noticed how simple one of the most popular is: https://tinyurl.com/nqcdhah

It actually does. In many western countries there are systems in place to ensure you have a place to live and food for your family. I think the USA is one of the few modern western countries left that just puts people out on the street when they are incapable of providing for themselves.
Even if you just target Samsung it's still not the same, unfortunately.

There's a pretty wide range of iOS devices now, but they're all similar, they're all good (or were good when they were released), and you can check your app on them in the Simulator. Just last week I was able to find and fix some bugs in an app that only showed up in certain combinations of screen sizes and iOS 10 or 11, without needing any real devices.

Samsung has many, many more devices; some of them are very good but lots of them are very bad; they do offer some testing infrastructure but it's not as comprehensive or convenient as Xcode; and they frequently make breaking changes to Android without any documentation. A recent example is their "game tuner" which automatically runs games at lower refresh rates and/or screen resolution. Depending which API you use to check the screen dimensions (and Android being Android, there are plenty to choose from) a game can end up displaying at the wrong size.
Ask HN: Ideal Maker/Manager Work Style Cadence??
What's the ideal alternation cadence between maker and manager mode as described by pg: paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html Maybe it's ideal not to alternate at all but to lock in to one or the other because of the killer switching costs and killer specialization gains. But for people, such as solo founders and others who must wear both hats, what alternation/cadence best practices have you found?

Serious question as a .NET developer...

Why? What's the advantage?

My first thought would be to skip the .NET and just use JavaScript all the way down. Or skip JavaScript and just go .NET all the way down.

Second thought would be to just go typical client-server, which is what I think I'm basically seeing here?

The advantages aren't clear to me.
I paid for all Battlefield season passes, and would continue to do so if given the option. The franchise has some of my most-played games (350+ hours in BF1, 150+ in BF4, 550+ in BF3). My only grief with the paid DLCs and season passes is the map segmentation: non-paying customers (well, those that didn't pay for the DLC) don't get the new maps, and then two parts of the customer base are segregated between two different sets of maps. I would be more than happy to see all new maps come for free, and I'd still pay for a season pass for new cosmetics/weapons/vehicles/whatever.

Hope that makes sense

I've used Arch Linux (with Gnome 3, i3, dwm, Xfce, Cinnamon, Mate) for 6 years now and it has (or any of the DE's/WM's have) _never_ bugged out on me (many different laptops and desktops as well). I've only once had a destroyed installation and it was completely my fault. I would actually recommend Arch Linux as a great distribution for getting real work done. I know academic research groups that use it as OS for the boxes in their labs and they've never had problems with stability or things working out the box. Fedora is a great OS, but I just don't really see it having a big leg up on everybody else.

> So essentially you have a linear limit to the one part that is promised to be potentially exponential?

It's not a linear limit - it's a fixed (constant) cap, but yes.

This doesn't mean you can't receive more than $100,000 in options, but it does mean you'll be taxed on those as NSOs, which is much higher.

Also, note that because of the cliff, you receive your full first year on a single day, which means that your second year's worth of options are much more likely to exceed the ISO cap and auto-convert to NSOs.

I suspect this anti-intellectual attitude is underrated as a key problem in American culture. There could be greater value for lifelong learning, science (as in valuing empiricism over arbitrarily inventing your own facts), problem-solving oriented attitudes, and open-ended discussion. People shouldn't feel complacent and act like they don't have room for more knowledge and improvement.

Parents pass on flawed ideas about education or have lax standards about school work performance. I'd see evidence of this as how the most affluent class tends to put a lot of emphasis on educational achievement and the results pay off (but I don't believe this status quo is the best approach).

It exists in our politics. An open hostility toward The Establishment often includes institutions of education.

It inhibits the effectiveness of schools and teachers if a student lacks the attitude and is unreceptive. A student can both have a strong work ethic but not care about educational attainment. Evidence of this might be that increases of spending on education seem to lack consistent increases in outcomes. Early childhood education is seen as beneficial, but then the benefits tend to even out (maybe as students become acclimated to anti-intellectual culture).

People who can learn how to learn, or who appreciate and support those who can as leaders, will generally be better off.
You also don't have to build crypto from first principles, we have plenty of reusable software components at all layers of computing, that implement strong crypto.
Here's the thing, though. In the US, things like universal healthcare, maternity leave, decent disability and unemployment benefits, consumer protection, all sorts of regulation, and many, many other good ideas, often get attacked with cries of "Socialism!". These are things that all of Europe has, and they work.

So either they are socialism and socialism works, or they're not socialism and socialism cannot be used as a reason to deny these to the US. You don't get to dismiss these as socialism and then claim Sweden is not socialist.

But this is the problem with labels like socialism and capitalism. They can be used with varying definitions to prop up bad arguments.

You don't need a plugin to get the menu bar back, you can just do (tap alt) View->Toolbars->Menu Bar, at least in FF56. I don't know for certain if that option still exists in FF57, but I hope it does.

This is still a lot more work than it ought to be on iOS. It's possible to write screen-size-agnostic code, but the tools push you towards individually customizing everything for each of the current screen sizes.

For example, in Interface Builder there's a toolbar with buttons to switch between different screen sizes. But it would be a lot easier if they just made the UI freely resizable (in Interface Builder, not necessarily on the device).

Say, perhaps, every processor had a 2nd processor attached, that would run code not modifiable by the owner? With little public information about it's full capabilities? That had full unfettered access to the primary processor, it's memory, and I/O Ports? And insist that it's mandatory to the function of the primary processor?

Sounds a lot like Intel'S ME?
If we were post-scarcity (in the sense it's commonly meant) it would still fail, because no two desires are the same (either in actual shape/scale or desired implementation). What you want, versus what I want, will never be the same and in most cases it won't be even remotely close to the same. That's true about life ambitions and it's true about basic material desires.

You'd have to reach a state in which all people can have all/any things at all/any times. It's an impossible condition. Humanity's desire for things is unlimited (as witnessed by the last 5,000 years of development).

Conceptually if Joe's neighbor has seven boats, Joe is going to want 10 boats. That's human nature and it can't be smashed out of humanity with force and or mental conditioning. Then what? It requires infinite materialism. And that's to say nothing of the basic human desire to be different (frequently via material objects), to want to stand-out, to be unique, to own unique things, to have a unique expression, that by itself destroys the post-scarcity premise (ie there are many other factors that confound systems like Communism beyond base materialist scarcity questions). That aspect is as old as humanity, is represented even in most primitive tribal systems and it perpetually clashes with Communism's collectivist ethos (which you routinely would see in the rebellions against Communist rule in the 20th century).

The sole means for it to work, is to convert humanity into something else.
Keep in mind there's also the fact that little 10 year old Timmy doesn't actually care about any of this. He just wants to play star wars damn it! It's mommy's money that EA is taking, and mom doesn't know what's going on and likely doesn't have the time to notice that games are doing what they are
RHEL 7 only supported x86_64, so CentOS 7 only "officially" supports x86_64. While AArch64, i386, and other arch builds are available from the AltArch SIG, they aren't maintained by the core.

Fearless Concurrency in Firefox Quantum
To chime in with some of the others, I decided to try out Firefox again [0] when the FF57 beta/nightly/whatever was first released and am very happy that I did!

Looks like that was ~48 days ago and I think I've opened up Chromium maybe two or three times since then.

(WRT extensions, LastPass was the only thing I "missed" (we have Enterprise for $work) although I normally use the CLI utility instead anyways. They came out with a beta a few weeks ago and it was actually working great until about two days ago when it suddenly broke for me. The other extensions I use -- uBlock Origin, Vimium -- have been working just fine.)

I'll bet this means an enormous number of outdated devices outside the first world are missing. In particular, any area without cheap and reliable data access is probably eschewing the Play Store for some kind of local-area app sharing like Zapya.

Aside: how is WebAssembly's binary form currently shipped? In a demo I saw yesterday it was written out inline as a Uint8Array of integers between 0-255. Even with gzip enabled this can't be very efficient.

For completely unrelated reasons, I was already thinking of adapting (my fork of) the LZ-string library[0] to directly compress/decompress typed arrays to "websafe" UTF16 strings, similar to the already existing `compressToUTF16` functionality in LZ-string. Essentially, the strings would represent LZ-compressed bitstreams, using 15 bits per string character.

Could this be useful for reducing the size of WASM binary when encoded in plain JavaScript? (the minified library would probably be around 1kb after gzip)
