That anxiety does not exist for everyone. I do a thing I call "immutable browsing" with tree-style tabs. I open EVERY link in a new child tab (and I might try to make my browser [0](shameless plug) support new-tab form submission). When I no longer need the parent, I just close it and other tabs move up.

Navigating a tree of your actions or your current context is actually way easier than re-navigating a website. This is especially true with things like API docs where you might open a bunch of things and constantly re-reference them. Saving off trees and supporting a kind of quick-tab-find approach both help here too. This also helps when navigating things like source repositories on GitHub.

We don't tell people to retrieve files externally because their filesystem makes it hard to find things. And we don't really chide people for too many editor tabs open either because we have a navigation panel. Why is a browser any different here?

As the article mentions, there are many players in this area and time will tell how Kickstarter leverages their brand to succeed, especially as it is an invitation list only (for now).

Some interesting thoughts from Perry Chen (Kickstarter Co-founder and Chairman):
“If you look at a lot of companies, it’s COO, CMO, blah, blah, blah,” Chen said. “But look at a museum. You might have a CEO or director, but then you might have a curator. There is a very specific articulation of roles and lanes, and I think that’s really necessary for Kickstarter, trying to be a different kind of company over a long period of time. If you have operators coming with the classic business playbook, I don’t think we’ll be able to sustain our focus on our mission.”

As for comments regarding the name, you get an idea of why they might have leaned towards drip. On one of the artist's page [1], you see there are different tiers for supporting his project:

1. Dripper [$3/month]

2. Drizzler [$7/month]

3. Sprayer [$15/month]

I really wish that it was standard procedure to treat a lab notebook like a journal, in contrast to the status quo and this paper.

Scientific papers today try to separate the knowledge discovered from the authors own steps. It would be so useful to learn about the false starts and misunderstandings they had; that knowledge is just as important as the discovery itself in my opinion.

I remember reading somewhere that Go was originally intended to take over a lot of projects that are currently C++, and that it was kind of a surprise that more Go programmers ended up coming from languages like Python. If that's right, it might be fair to say Rust and Go were "originally" competitors, even if they aren't as much anymore :)
In Sweden, the deduction is more limited; a deduction of 30 % of interest up until 100 000 SEK, and 21 % over that amount.

As nominal marginal tax rates are somewhere in the 40-50 % range, this typically means <15 % actual reduction in taxes.

Ask HN: Firefox vs. Chrome security
I'm seeing a lot of hype surrounding Mozilla's recent release of Firefox Quantum - which promises massive improvements, mainly speed.

I had an idea for a competitor in the Patreon space a couple of years ago, but with a twist that I feel would have made "patrons" much more comfortable with the whole thing. I even registered a domain, started on some coding, and consulted with some designers. But it quickly became apparent that financial gateways (credit cards, Paypal, etc) are hostile to the idea of allowing me to charge customer A, keep a cut, and pay customer B. Terms of service usually forbid this sort of action.

How does one circumvent this hostility? Obviously it's possible, since Patreon and Drip exist, but I didn't know where to start. I still think my idea is worth a try, but I'm stuck.
I think this "zero tolerance for all the things" is more dangerous than the things it targets in most cases.

I assume Tesla is a very high stress place (at least at times). I don't know if you've ever experienced a highly emotional situation but it's possible to get so upset you yell things at people that you actually feel absolutely terrible about later (and didn't realize you were capable of saying). I can imagine someone, in such a highly charged situation, saying something hurtful like that and then feeling absolutely gutted about it later. Of course you don't have to accept an apology in that situation but I personally wouldn't think much of the kind of person who would write someone off, permanently, for one such event when they never did anything like that before or ever again and sincerely appologized.

This guy is not wrong, but on my site I decided that for photographs it probably doesn't matter much and just provide a single image resolution. Chrome does a terrible job of resizing images but even it is acceptable. Maybe if you run a high-end stock-photo site you have other opinions, but I don't.

Logos and illustrations are a different matter, but the answer is not to turn on an obscure rendering option via css. You either supply images in all sizes your site requires, or use the format that was explicitly designed for such things: SVG.
> Go is focused on concurrency as a first class concept. That is not to say you cannot find aspects of Go’s actor oriented concurrency in Rust, but it is left as an exercise to the programmer.

To be fair, concurrency is baked the Rust type system itself. It's certainly a first class concept. I think the better way to describe it is that Rust wants to make concurrency safe regardless of what mechanism it's based on (system threads, futures/asyncio, maybe other things eventually?), while Go wants to provide a particular (very convenient) mechanism as part of the language.

Until Java 9, not a lot was done about the memory footprint of Java. Especially Strings, which were all stored in UTF-16 internally. For a language prone to Stringly Typed coding, that makes containers a hard sell, but caused issues just running it on VMs long before containers were a thing. Really this is something that should have been started for Java 7 and completed in 8.

They also kind of hit a wall around 1-2GB of memory that took ages to get past with GC. It had the potential to kill your 95th percentile numbers to have long GC pauses. It contributed to things like Redis and Memcached taking off because of how frequently you needed data close to you but couldn’t just keep it in process.

Strong second. I love visual studio, and visual studio code, but this particular feature would be extremely irritating. I'd also worry that it would promote awful development models like Pivotal's pair programming take on agile, which has always struck me as creepy and totalitarian.

...this is probably better than simply terminating the loop.
This is a great way to put it, and very practical. Gives you a ranking of possible suspects, rather than completely ruling out any of them. You're allowed to suspect the compiler but only if other leads have been exhausted.

> High housing prices are great for those who already owned houses

Not really. Rising prices (not high prices) are great for people holding houses as investments. But for owner-occupied houses, rising prices are as bad for the owners as they are for everyone else.

my wife and I own a house in Northern California, which we bought during the sub-prime crash. Since then it has nearly doubled in price. It is also too big for us, so we'd like to sell it and move to a smaller house. But we can't. Why? Because by the time you factor in:

1. Capital gains tax

2. Real estate agent fees

3. Higher property taxes (even a smaller house costs much more than the prop-13 basis in our current house)

we can't afford to move!

Most likely some old myth regarding the JVM.

Its actually trivial to deploy and updates are just pushing one file; your uberjar. This is so much better than anything node/ruby/python/php have to offer.

I also feel much safer running code in a VM on the server than directly native where a single invalid dereference brings down the whole thing in a rain of fire.
its great that they have improved compared to themselves, but i think the question is, is it vastly faster than chrome?

think of it this way, why would i switch to firefox to get back to where i was to begin with (speed wise)? firefox would have to be substantially different from chrome to make people make the effort to switch. right now it seems that it is just catching up to the competition. i look forward to the continued updates and will continue to look into the possibility of switching in the future. right now, the speed is comparable to chrome, and extensions seem to be at a disadvantage. a few more months to go for me, personally before trying again.

> They are both being used, where C and C++ were the only alternative

> Some of the points to be made here is that C and C++ are being used for a very wide range of applications

That's a really good point. C is an odd language: people used it to squeeze every ounce of performance out of machines, even when they didn't need to. E.g. an ls or cat written in C is almost certainly a premature optimisation. Even a program like Sendmail should probably have been written in something like Lisp or Go (had it existed) rather than in C (and anyone over a certain age knows the high price of Sendmail being written in C: vulnerability after vulnerability).

People were using C almost as a scripting language, which in retrospect is insane. Using it as a portable assembler to build the bulk of an OS, or at least the low-level parts of an OS, made sense — trying to use it for high-level programming was a mistake.

I write Go every day, but I'd like to take a look at Rust eventually. I wonder if decent Rust can be written as quickly as decent Go can.

The fact that you take that as an axiom is frightening. Moderate deflation is no more scary than moderate inflation, and the idea that an "overall inflation rate" determines people's behavior is laughably wrong.

I mean, which of the thousands of inflation rate definitions are you talking about? The FRED database tracks 34,000 different series of some 10,000 inflation measures. More importantly, people don't sense overall inflation at all, they make decisions on domain specific inflation. Prices dropping for farm equipment or homes does not mean businesses stop buying computers and homes stop buying washing machines. It is entirely possible for housing prices to tank while prices for nearly everything else increase...in fact, we've already seen it happen.

Think about what you are proposing: you're saying that even if prices are irrational and we are in a bubble, the only response is to maintain those irrational prices for that bubbled item and inflate everything else until we reach equilibrium. That is insane. If we did that, we'd still be trying to catch up with railway mania. And it puts us at far more of a risk of runaway inflation problems than letting housing prices drop would ever put us at a risk of a deflationary spiral.

It's time to start questioning your axioms. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of blowhard macroeconomists out there that share the idea, but there are far more economists that have far more nuanced views and understanding of inflation and how it really affects people's behavior, and it is nowhere near axiomatic.

What does this actually mean?
If you want rapid prototyping I don't think you can beat Clojure, not even close.

Its really, really hard to beat the iteration cycle of a Lisp.
They sort-of-do, but on my machine (an i3 with 8GB memory running Ubuntu), there's threshold that - when crossed - causes it to slow down considerably, and e.g. take about 5 minutes to become interactive after quitting and restarting.

Also, they are way too easy to close accidentally; bookmarks stay, but if you accidentally closed one of your thousand tabs 3 months ago, good luck finding it in history.
You seem to be arguing against a straw-man, sir.

The OP simply said that the chances of finding a compiler bug are small. You seem to have found a few minor bugs, and that's cool, but how does that change the fact that chances an average C developer finding a compiler bug are minuscule? There are probably around a million C developers, do we even have one compiler bug per 10 developers?

> You seemed to have missed the part that said "the ACA's individual mandate, which is the foundation on which guaranteed-issue health insurance works.".

Starting with a premise that that ACA is working is invalid.

In the current US health care system about 49% of people get coverage through their employers, 19% are covered by Medicaid, 14% are covered by Medicare, 2% are covered by other by other public plans (ex: VA), and 9% are uninsured (for various reasons including not being mandated to get coverage). That leaves 7% of people that get coverage on the individual market[1].

On average, the cost to insure people in that 7% is substantially higher than the 49% receiving coverage through their employers. That's for a variety of factors including them being statistically unhealthier (unemployed people tend to be sicker) and more broadly because employer's generally provide coverage through self-insurance that removes all profits from the equation. Large employers don't just buy coverage from Anthem or Horizon, they self-insure and buy an umbrella style master coverage to cover outliers.

That leaves a small percentage of the 7% on the individual market that are not receiving any subsidies to pay a grossly outsized cost for health insurance because they're bearing the costs of the wider 7% risk pool. That's what's broken in the ACA and that's who bears the full impact of the mandate. The policy as it stands now is destined to implode as at some point that top end of the market will actively avoid it anyway.

My solution to all of this is to ban employer provided coverage entirely and require the same open access provisions for health insurance to all plans. That would widen the risk pool substantially, eliminate issues with fragmented markets, and open the door for more job mobility (health insurance wouldn't be tied to your job). Throw in Medicaid for free at the low end and a public option with which one could buy into a Medicaid-lite to add additional competition in underserved markets and you've got a working healthcare system that can be layered upon our existing one.

My idea for paying for open source code would be to auto-scan your codebase, find all open source projects, let you set a donation amount ($5, $10, $100, $1000) per month, and it would auto-donate to every project. Then give you a nice tax writeoff summary for the non-profits.

Obviously many details to work out, but I could see a company willing to pay $500 per month if it was easy to donate to all the tools and projects they use.
That depends. Location location location. The right answer changes based on what side of the city you live in. As such nobody can give a definitive answer.

In all but the smallest cities you have options for a different job. They might not be as good, but there is an option. If you lose your job you can find a different job close enough to your current house that you don't have to move.

Remember this is NOT an rational economic problem. There are good reasons to live near by the same neighbors that you know well for years. There are good reasons to live near your family. When you own a house you can make modifications to support your hobbies which in turn make your house a better place for your to live than anyone else. These all mean there are good reasons to accept a job that pays less than you could earn elsewhere and thus stay in the same house. With inflation you can probably afford the house on a lesser paying job after a few years.
