Beautifully said. The same goes for schema-less data models. The full appreciation of foreign keys, data type validation, and check constraints doesn't kick in until you try incrementally changing a NoSQL spaghetti app.

Don't you think that a game providing hundreds of hours of gameplay does hold a lot of value for the user? Getting hours (or even days) of entertainment for $30 certainly looks like a good deal. Especially if you compare it to $8.50 for a ticket to a 2-hour movie.

It also follows the sentiment often found on HN, where freelancers and consultants are advised to price their services based on the value they provide to their clients.

Pricing is more nuanced than just calculating the expenses.
Chrome and Edge do the same, what's your point? Also please stop using that stupid alt-right language inappropriately.
Here is an interesting analysis of Benford's Law from a digital signal processing perspective: http://www.dspguide.com/ch34.htm
It was an optional course for me, and also one of the hardest I took. But also one of the most enlightening, rewarding, and enjoyable of my degree.
The reason people were/are a bit more anxious about the NSA is because the government has the ability to put you in jail. And indeed we've seen some cases of evidence collected through mass surveillance being used in criminal cases through a mechanism called parallel construction.

All things considered, Facebook presents a similar level of risk, especially if nation states use it as a digital weapon as we've seen recently.
You're missing my point: nodejs is really not a suitable candidate for tiny CLI programs like this. If the author is just learning node, there's nothing wrong with it, of course.

In any case, the bash one-liner is just an alternative :)

Also, this kind of "it uses just 33 MB" culture is exactly what's wrong with node: 33 MB is small enough, but what about real programs? Would you still freely add trivial dependencies? This would get unwieldy very fast. There's also the security aspect that comes with relying on 61 dependencies. What if one of the dependencies is compromised (as it happened recently)?
Sure, it's faster if some scripts are blocked. Wait how fast it gets as soon as you add ublock Origin.
It think it's a pretty silly thing to focus marketing on considering they've been fast enough for the average user for years. I saw a TV commercial for it during The Walking Dead last night, surely that money could have been spent in a much better way. I think the marketing should focus on being the only major browser to allow ad blockers to be installed on Android devices.
Maybe in web or application software. In hardware, it all runs in parallel. The mechanism of something like SAFE becomes another component receiving input in the CPU pipeline. A conditional of sorts is added so the final write back to whatever memory doesn't happen unless the safety/security checks passed. The failure mode might also do an interrupt for OS so it could log the where and why of the failure. As in, application flaws could be patched quickly.
Sensors are absolutely nice to have, but depending on them is a completely different story.
If you can't in general parse a piece of perl without "running the program" as you yourself mentioned then I'm pretty sure that parsing it can definitely trigger infinite loops as perl language is definitely turing complete during run time. So your statement is a contradiction.

I don't get the hate here, Node works great for CLI tools.

Easy and quick install, supports colors and icons in the terminal, has several easy and useful table libraries to choose from, and it runs plenty fast enough for it's use case.

What benefits would rust, golang, haskell, or whatever you like provide over node in this situation?
I wonder how this will affect Cavium's ThunderX line. When Applied Micro was bought by Macom, their X-Gene line was more or less trashed. If this keeps happening to companies trying to develop ARM servers, you'll never see an ARM server in a datacenter.

They lost a lot of market share when Chrome came on the scene. Partly because it was faster but also because Google promoted it and it actually had some sweet process/tab separation.

I remained a loyal FF user myself and actually wanted to take this opportunity to promote Firefox Focus which makes it real easy to browse sensitive things like porn on a tablet shared by the family or SO.

It's oriented around privacy so it saves nothing and provides easy to access shortcuts for clearing browser history when you're done.

You only have to worry about things coming at you at 70 mph from the front.

The entire genre started with Cow Clicker by Ian Bogost, which was a parody of Facebook games at the time and their lack of interactivity. The problem was though that the parody worked as an actual game for many people, and became the thing it criticized while spawning an entire genre of idle games like it.

Tv Tropes had an entry that is called something different now, but i knew it as "Truffault was right." It's point was that you can't make a movie about the evils of war without inadvertently throwing in enough cool stuff (handsome actors, big explosions, lots of drama) that you end up glorifying it by mistake. That's what happened to Bogost...for all his commentary he just strengthened the whole social game mechanic by distilling it to its ideal form.
Mexico was the same way. We drove across the country and some of the public highways were very poorly maintained but right next to it was a (very cheaply tolled) private highway that was nicer than anything Ive been on in Canada (I havent driven much in America). It was a joy to drive on a well maintained roads... the value is real.

Most people may not realize what they are missing, as a result of their local/state being crippled by incompotent public management or all powerful unions, as they don't know anything different.

Not surprised to hear that it's not the case everywhere in the more decentralized US. Competence and good laws are possible. Especially when it's in a lower tax state like Texas which shows its not merely a result of lack of access to money.
It would be glorious if anyone could understand it. After reading their readme (https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-lang) for about 10 minutes, actually trying to understand it, I don't.

That's a problem. A big one.

Maybe you could explain for the feeble-minded such as myself:

- how would you represent a simple key=value in dhall?

- how yould you represent a dictionary in dhall (multiple key=value entries)?

- how would you represent an array in dhall?

- maybe a more complex structure, say, translate (by hand) a package.json file to dhall?

(Nevermind, I found the tutorial. But the readme page is IMO a big fail if dhall wants wide adoption. If it doesn't then, ignore my criticism :) )
If you were living in Rome in the year 477, I wonder if you were deemed part of a cranky unmentionable fringe for expressing the idea that your civilisation was decaying and indeed collapsing all around you.

Honest question. I have been checking Kotlin since a while but haven't found a compelling case for me to start using it. All the features I have seen so far are syntactic sugar.

Even the article quote something around those lines: “The syntax for Kotlin, like Apple’s Swift, is clean and modern. The reaction amongst developers learning Kotlin is not dissimilar to the initial experiences with Ruby years ago. The syntax is so intuitively designed that even without any previous exposure it’s almost possible to guess it.”

The question would be: Am I missing something? Is syntax the only reason that makes people excited about it? or are there any new abstractions/ideas that are exclusive for Kotlin?
Very neat idea. I'd like to make the following suggestions:

1) Some vendors of said produce. If I can get grapes that were grown 5 miles away, awesome! Now where can I buy them?

2) A filter that lets me determine the maximum distance allowed. I ran a search based on a Northern Virginia zipcode and it recommended me some Bell Peppers from Georgia...609 miles away. We're not exactly "local" at this point. Simply having a filter option to stop it from showing me anything farther than 50 miles away would be useful.

Much the contrary, I am not arguing that I was allowed to do this because the software did not prevent me from doing so (which would be off-topic for the sake of the “Why Wikipedia Cannot Say The Earth Isn’t Flat”), I am arguing that there is an objective truth to matters, including that the earth is flat and that certain spellings are ‘correct’ and all others ‘incorrect’, and that policy (and software) must not prevent these truths from being asserted.
I have progressives, from Warby Parker though my initial prescription was by a trusted local optometrist who gladly provided the pupillary distance measurement, and it took a few weeks to get used to them and the constant tilting my head. The lenses are a compromise. They're great as general purpose glasses where I am frequently switching distances and I wear them many hours a day at the screen but they don't correct my astigmatism as well, they seem "dimmer" than my prescription readers, and they're inadequate for close work (electronics) and reading. By the end of the day I often use my readers at the screen.

Man, it's really unconscionable the way that textbooks juice people. There is no reason that book ought to cost $190 (what I just saw on Amazon for the hard-cover). It's across the board; once a book gets entrenched as one of these go-to textbooks for a subject, it can for some reason be marked up 400% over equivalent books.
Interesting comment on article:
Isn't this better stated as "some areas of the world are running out of sand"? The Sahara is 9.2E12 meters squared and one estimate puts the average depth of sand at 150m, giving 1.38E15 m^3 of sand. The earth's land area is 5.1E14 m^2, meaning the sand in the Sahara alone is enough to cover earth's land area in 2.7m (9ft) of sand
Here’s something to think about: how much CO2 has been released into the atmosphere just from crypto currency mining alone? One of the main reasons I’ve avoided getting into bitcoin mining is because my town is powered by a coal plant and I simply cannot justify burning coal to acquire make-believe money.

Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful.
Ask HN: Non-technical day trading strategies?
I do fairly well with my stocks and cryptocurrency investments. My general strategy is to buy and hold. I have done well by sticking with what I know (tech).

I'm interested in dabbling in a bit of cryptocurrency day trading (maybe stocks later) but I don't really believe in technical analysis and crazy graphing.

I'm curious to know what other kinds of strategies exist for day trading with the goal of making small profits every day. Listening/watching for news?

Perhaps I should simply continue my buy and hold strategy and simply liquidate a small amount every month?
For those of you who took it - does it go into detail how to do advanced LALR languages, including handling semantics and types? Can I use the knowledge to make my own OOP + FP language right away (Scala/Kotlin-like), or do I need to study much much more than what is covered in this course? Thanks!

It was common to use them as counters in early FPGAs such as XC2000 and XC3000. LFSRs where faster and smaller than binary counters since the early FPGAs did not have fast carry logic.

I used them for column, row and address generation in FPGA-based video capture and display cards.
Ironically, content blocker extensions have historically been a common source of slowdowns while loading all pages.
I disagree: the paper is clearly not trying to answer it's titular question, in fact it is justifying why that question is interesting to ask. In particular, it demonstrates that the answer to the obvious other question to ask (with n+2 instead of n+1) is yes and clearly if you altered the question the other direction (with n instead of n+1), then the answer is no. This immediately makes me find the question compelling.

Papers motivating problems are, frankly, quite important and should be done more often.

> There needs to be a new set of rules built around enforcing competition around the data economy.

Agreed. In the US, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was the last major attempt at FCC rework. Our world looks nothing like 1996.

My emphasis would be on a more utilized regulatory authority over two methods of entrenchment: (1) data & (2) cloud infrastructure.

Service providers past a certain market share should be limited in how they're able to wield these against competition. If they choose to utilize either for their own, non-neutral services, they should be required to offer them to external parties under reasonable terms that allow for existential-caliber competition.

I realize we failed at this with carriers, but I don't see how the alternative is anything other than a mono-, duo-, or tri-opoly that's able to simply buy any threat to its revenue before the company is able to scale.

This whole research is based on the following, from the introduction:

> The quantity and quality of our social relations correlates not only with our happiness but also with our physical health. New insights from lifelogging research suggest that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to communities are happier, healthier and live longer

I wonder how universal this correlation is. From my personal experience, this doesn't apply to me at all. I feel much happier and healthier if I have as few social relations as possible.
> Clicking on a chumlink — even one on the site of a relatively high-class chummer, like nymag.com — is a guaranteed way to find more, weirder, grosser chum. The boxes are daisy-chained together in an increasingly cynical, gross funnel; quickly, the open ocean becomes a sewer of chum.

This seems like a particularly interesting point.

Presumably 'chum' ought to be higher-impact than the source page, so as to beat out "Related Articles" links, other open tabs, or leaving the computer. (After all, you just read an article of mental impact X, so you're someone who cares about stories of >X value.)

But there's a limit on how fast you can ramp up - you can't go straight to sex and death without provoking whiplash and disgust. So we get the weird progression that's come to define the internet; the outbound links for a given page are always weirder than the page itself.

Hence "the weird part of Youtube". Hence the 4chan -> Reddit -> Buzzfeed progression by which content is generated in strange spots, then sanitized for mass consumption. And hence the bizarre sponsored-content funnel: stock news leads to stock tips leads to pyramid schemes leads to "BUY GOLD!" Either you cash out somewhere (some of those sponsored links go to products, not 'stories'), or you stick to news and teaser sites, and head arbitrarily far down the rabbit hole.

Although a few years old, this article gets more relevant all the time as this kind of chumvertising gets incorporated into ‘native’ ads.

Chum seems to go in phases, and always worse. A while ago it was ‘Dermatologists hate her!’, recently it’s ‘What $celebrity looks like now will shock you!’

Like the recent debate about chum kids YouTube videos, it’s probaby automatically generated based on what gets the most ‘engagement’.
Not sure why you're being downvoted (maybe offtopic I guess?) but this is how I view pretty much all transactions I do.

I've also been comparing "time to earn X for Y bitcoin" when I purchase on gdax to give me a sense of relative grounding.
As a Scala programmer, Kotlin always feels like a language that frustratingly almost gets it, but is infuriatingly unwilling to listen to experience of what works in large codebases. Look at the examples on https://philipnilsson.github.io/Badness10k/escaping-hell-wit... - I think Kotlin has literally every one of those ad hoc solutions built into the language, but stubbornly avoids making the generalisation. In small examples ad hoc solutions look great, but to succeed in large codebases a language needs a generality and consistency that Kotlin lacks.

E.g. already there's no way to reuse logic between code paths that operate on Kotlin nullable types, Java Options (needed for compatibility with Java streams or more generally other JVM libraries), or rust-style Result types (for which there are several Kotlin libraries already, because it's a very useful concept and the language mostly has the facilities to support it), even though all three behave almost identically and you would often want to do the same thing in all three cases. But since the language won't let you represent what these types have in common, your only option is to copy/paste the code.
But on the other hand, Tesla already has a few notable sensor failures, the biggest one being the fatal crash when the sensors failed to see a semi truck at 90 degrees to path of travel (or cancelled it out as noise, etc.)

Obviously things improve with time, but Tesla has never convinced me of having a robust pipeline for validating their sensors/AI projects. Everything they release feels like someone said "well, it's good enough for how much we're willing to spend." Notably, their refusal to evaluate LIDAR when every other company is banking on it.
Android Games on Chromebooks Need Keyboard and Mouse Support
Mercy is as skilless as Reinhardt or Winston though. Winston's gameplay is absurdly simple; find a healer or squishy, jump in, chase them around, and then jump out before you die. Reinhardt is just keeping a shield up, and knowing when it's safe to do your easily telegraphed rush.

The reason why they are easier is because you need effective tanks and healers in the game, and hard healers or tanks as the only option will make players just be DPS instead. This is why Ana always sucks and never solved the problem of adding more healers; if you like sniping, widowmaker or hanzo is better, and if you like healing, Ana is really hard to heal effectively with due to lack of defense and the need for precision much more than any other healer.
