Sent 1400$ to coinbase.com and Never received LTC coin
On December 4/2017 I sent 1,000.00 USD and bought 9.61949136 LTC and sent another 500.00 USD at same date for 4.81318346 LTC to coinbase.com but I have never got my coin and I wrote many email to their support team and called 3 times but no body has done any thing! I am planning to inform media and sue them because of my loose if they still keep to be calm about my issue.
Wow. You just made me realize that most of the big changes I'd mentally spread out over 20 or 25 years happened just in the last decade. In 2007, I was considered a pretty high-tech guy for just having a blog and being able to edit it. It was still possible to add entries to Wikipedia about things that were not super obscure or recent news. phpBB forums still ruled the Internet. And reddit was a toddler!

It has been like that C. S. Lewis quote - day by day, it felt like nothing big has changed, but looking back, everything is different.

CoffeeScript is a match in the heaven with JSX IMO. You for example no longer have to face the bracket and semicolon hell. (Unless you have StandardJS or ESLint, which is pretty much default for all devs)

There’s also implicit return, so the code pattern is prettier, no more return (<JSX />)-ish thingy, and it feels closer to a template, but it is a boon and a bane at a same time since some devs got used to return like that.

Before CS2, we have to stick with coffee-react-transform, which is hacky and unmaintained and old. It transpile JSX to createElement directly, not good.

With CS2, you can write JSX expressions directly. A large subset of JSX is parsed, and only bracket/property expression will be transformed by the compiler, then processed with Babel. This is safer, more spec-conforming, and I could do some tricks like babel-preset-react-optimised.

CSX gets even better if you have MobX! It feels like PHP+Rails all the way while you’re also enjoying the MVVM ride. I'm already loving it and using it in my production heavily.

CoffeeScript is great, man. It is influential to ES6. Don't give up on CS yet. The ecosystem, however, is already shifted to JS. It took years to revive CS I guess.

> The default keyboard handling on a DOS PC are meant for typing. So any time you hit a key there is a debounce before the key is allowed to repeat continuously, usually on the order of a quarter second to a half second.

What he is describing is the keyboard driver autorepeat feature, if you hold down a key for a while the driver will generate a sequence of virtual keypresses. This is just a software convention, it's also possible to read the state of the keys directly (pressed down or not) instead of treating them in terms of key-press events. Using the word debouncing for this is incorrect.

Debouncing happens on a millisecond time scale, it's due to the key actually physically bouncing.

What do you think ADHD is? You say it's "definitely not some kind of genetic defect of the prefrontal cortex or anything of that sort," but there's been growing evidence of exactly that for a long time now:

> New high-resolution, three-dimensional maps of the brains of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) indicate significant and specific anatomical differences within areas of the brain thought to control attentional and inhibitory control systems, compared with brain scans of children without ADHD... The reductions in size of prefrontal regions observed by Sowell and her colleagues are consistent with other reports of reduced frontal lobe volumes in children with ADHD. The more advanced imaging methods and analysis used in the current study, however, suggest that those reductions are localized to more inferior aspects of the prefrontal regions than was previously realized.[1]

> In instances where heredity does not seem to be a factor, difficulties during pregnancy, prenatal exposure to alcohol and tobacco, premature delivery, significantly low birth weight, excessively high body lead levels, and postnatal injury to the prefrontal regions of the brain have all been found to contribute to the risk for ADHD to varying degrees.[2]

> Recently, neuroimaging has led to several important advances in the understanding of the neurobiology underlying the clinical picture of ADHD, and demonstrates a clear brain basis to the disorder in regions involved in attention, and executive and inhibitory control. Furthermore, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has provided evidence that intracortical inhibition, as indexed by the immature ipsilateral motor cortex, normalises with psychostimulant treatment. There is an exciting confluence between emerging studies in basic neurobiology and the genetic, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological analyses of ADHD.[3]

You outline only a single solution of which there are many. The thing RISC-V gets you is the ability to iterate on an implementation while still running the body of existing code.

If you read the rest of the thread, you'd find that both of your points are moot, as RISC-V code density is no worse than x86-64.

As for your claims on RISC not making sense, I'll just say it makes more sense than ever, as complexity leads to issues, which could affect security, and security is important in the present networked world.

> Why would they go in a circle when all they need to do is provide a single wavelength on a single axis?

Going in a circle (really a trochoid) is actually a pretty smart way to scan a 2D surface with a single light ray, you basically just rotate the vibrating fiber's plane of vibration around an axis to produce a cone of light. If you wanted to have only a single axis movement, you'd need many more fibers, one for each row of pixels.

>> In the case of near eye optics, there is no way to get the multiple projector image collimated AND seamlessly put together.

> Unless they did something completely crazy and invented a method to do this.

Did you read kguttag's argument on the matter? The reason this doesn't work is because the optics for collimation depend on the incoming angle of the light, so it must happen close enough to the light sources that the different light cones do not overlap. Then the light still expands within the optics before it gets straightened out, so there needs to be some gap for tolerance. So either they end up with some stray light rays that go into undesirable directions, or there is a gap at the border between the different regions.

Now maybe they showed a demo of this with visible artifacts to people and they were still blown away. Most likely they also told them that there was still room for improvement, while leaving open where exactly the fundamental limits are. Maybe they will release the imperfect version of their product than can actually be built, and people will still love it despite not living up to the marketing.

The problem is not that Magic Leap's ideas are completely useless or impossible to implement, just that they are significantly overhyping the expected capabilities of the finished product.
I still prefer semicolons when connecting two related thoughts, whereas it seems that em-dashes are most often used as a pause or a pseudo-comma. The brilliance of the semicolon is that you can connect two or more closely related sentences without a full stop. Em-dashes can't be used to connect multiple complete sentences. Semicolons are really more powerful than em-dashes, less pretty they may be.
Google’s engine also doesn’t seem to understand basic copyright law. Simply having a brief clip of someone else’s content doesn’t, under many ‘fair use’ cases, constitute a copyright violation. The whole system is also grossy a “guilty until proven innocent” setup. There’s little penalty for people just putting out bogus claims so content creators tend to get flooded with “content claims” even when a 2 second human review clearly shows the claim to be bogus (see earlier posting about guy’s white noise video getting slammed with content claims).

Google’s crappy AI tech combined with crappy policies are creating a living hell for many content creators.

Of course here Google is basically just making up its own laws for their own world. As a private platform they can basically do whatever they want. Does that violate their “don’t be evil” mantra? We report, you decide.

Can't reply to everything here. I don't know to which extent Russel's type system influenced modern-day type systems in programming languages.

Well no, they know sort of what they have to say.

Yes, I agree. But I'd expect more from people who literally want to make formal, exact proofs viable.

Type theory is syntax-directed because this is what ensures it's mechanically automated and doesn't require any intelligence to verify.

Validity of terms in extensional dependent type theory is not decidable, but that doesn't stop people from studying this system. They could just as well study free locally cartesian closed category, but I guess it would be too obviously trivial.

Also, there's a growing push to use automated theorem proving tools like Coq in mathematics because of the growing complexity of this field.

Err... There are very few mathematicians who want to spend significant effort on this. And one of my points is that there is no reason to believe that a system based on intensional dependent type theory (e.g. Coq) is the most suitable one, except that it already exists.

Finally, your argument that a difficult proof hasn't been found in the handful of years since HoTT began, therefore HoTT is probably invalid or useless, is frankly asinine.

Why thank you. HoTT has existed for 10 years now, Martin-Löf type theory for 40, and experts in the fields about to be revolutionized are very reserved. If you think that not expecting a revolution here is asinine, I don't think we can come to an agreement.

This reminds me of an ongoing discussion I was having with friends about Golang web frameworks -- one side of the argument is that you can achieve so much with the standard library that frameworks are "unnecessary", but folk like me want an ORM(ish) layer and some kind of back-office scaffolding.

https://beego.me and https://iris-go.com are nice, but we (all) have (as yet) to find a Django-like framework that comes with an extensible back-office.

So... Any pointers on the latter? I can do an Ask HN, but this seems like a good context to ask in.

Don’t know if this is sarcasm, but no, doubtful it’s a secret. Or might depend on the JVM license. OpenJDK obviously has no secrets.

But otherwise, assembly overrides for hot paths in execution targets that support them aren’t actually a big secret, just that they’re rarely visible. Think Go has a lot of processed architecture specific assembly for some functions, especially crypto iirc.

Show HN: Convert Matlab/NumPy matrices to LaTeX tables
What is done in software is translation from raw scan codes to ASCII which is done by BIOS code (or overridden by DOS driver for non-US keyboard layouts) that handles interrupts from keyboard controller and presents API on INT 16h.

This code works by tracking state of modifier keys (and setting the keyboard LEDs appropriately) and converts key down events for other keys into keycode/character pairs.

DOS in turn provides function INT 21, AH=07 which is thin wrapper on top of INT 16h which waits for key press and returns it as either ASCII character or zero followed by extended scan code (returned on second invocation) for non-ASCII keys (this DOS function is what is called by readey() in Borland Pascal/C++).

Edit: it is not as thin wrapper as it looks like, because it does not blindly call into BIOS and block there, but loops in DOS code and calls INT 28h until key is ready. INT 28h is intended as a hook for TSR to either do unimportant background processing (kind of poor mans multitasking) or call into DOS when it is known to be safe to do so. Particularly interesting thing to do in INT 28h handler is executing HLT in order to conserve power as any condition that would cause DOS to exit from this loop generates interrupt.
> "The claimed utility of the internet is an open question at best. the internet have shown no use cases to date other than transferring information(I went and looked)."

Maybe if you'd asked that question in the 1970s. By the late 90s dotcom bubble, the internet was proven technology being used for many practical purposes: in research, government, and just hobbyists (ever hear of a site called "Geocities?"). Some of applications had even proved to be commercially successful, such as Ebay.

These early applications weren't ponzi schemes. Most people making geocities home pages weren't investing in anything, and most of those that were were using it as a legitimate way to market something real.

There's nothing like that for blockchain. Almost all of the proposed applications are hypothetical and used only by blockchain promoters primarily interested in pumping the value of their investment.
I like working alone when building new things, so I can do what I want. (Also at that stage there is little risk of possibly annoying discussions.) But when there are problem, whether dev, op or requirements related, then being alone sucks.

I was working at one place for almost 2 years and I ended up working almost completely alone on the dev side (+ most of the ops). Things worked actually quite well and I could even work with some really crazy JS framework but it just started to become boring as hell. Because with work colleagues I could only talk about the superficial parts of my job - the rest was some kind of rabbit hole.

Not sure about the Scrum. I mean when the colleagues rather work alone, I guess each task can be done in solitude. That's at least more or less the case where I work.
