The original Wii was very selective when I looked into what it took when it first came out. Do you know whether the Wii U was fairly open initially, or just towards the end? I'm wondering if they just always start off being selective to ensure the quality is there initially, and open up more later?

That would make sense, as I think there's plenty of cases where a device hasn't been selective enough with the marketplace initially, and the deluge of crap makes people think the market isn't worth using. It's much easier to shovel crap out the door immediately than it is to deliver a polished product, so early markets can be quite bad.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. North Korea is under incredible sanctions, and South Korea's embracing of the free market is considered to be an economic miracle made possible only by multiple headwinds, and some solid good luck.

China can hardly be called a free market, by the way.

Even when it's the "native" app, it's kind of still running in a browser (it uses Electron).
And yet, the example correctly points out that Python, while a suitable choice, is not the ideal choice when it comes to programming for kids. Classroom time is precious, and kids need to be able to get right into the meat of things. Things that are easy for us to grok, like imports and functions vs methods, are tough for raw beginners. And _no_ kid should be forced to contend with ANSI escape sequences!

More appropriate would be to compare with some Python programming kit that had similar graphic environment abstractions:

fontsize(4)
while True:
ink = rndcolor()
paper = rndcolor()
text("Hello, world!")
sleep(1)

But even then, unless you wrap Python with something that handles imports/globals/etc for you (a la Processing), doing this in Python is still going to take a bunch of extra gunk.
Ask HN: Recent denial of H1-B visas for low paying IT positions systematic?

> super dense cities like Tokyo or New York can feel suffocating. A lot of people can't bear it. The lack of green space, and the overcrowding of people and cars increases the stress levels by a lot.

I strongly suspect when people say that, they're thinking of the day time population of the tourist/business districts in those cities. The daytime population of Manhattan is nearly 4 million people, mostly concentrated below 130th street. The density is probably 200k-250k people per square mile. The resident population density is actually only 70,000 people per square mile. I was there after Hurricane Sandy, when the commuters and tourists were gone, and it was empty.

Here is a typical side street in Rogers Park Chicago: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.0103744,-87.6640436,3a,75y,2.... At 30,000 people per square mile, it's about double the average density of Tokyo.

Here's one of the newer business districts in Tokyo: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6807167,139.7630674,3a,75y,9.... That area probably has way above the average population density of the city.

Currently yes. If your state doesn't fit in memory on the number of machines you have, you'd need to add more.

We plan on adding support for only keeping part of state in memory. That's in the discussion phase. We want to talk to folks about their use cases and ideally work with them before adding it.

There are many trade-offs involved in such a feature and making those trade-offs based on informed decisions of our possible users needs is our preferred solution.
there are more airports worldwide that could handle the a380.

I live in germany near freiburg and there is a small city called "lahr" it has a airport with a big enough runway. it also has a terminal and could handle most passenger flights.
but it's not in use (except for europa park flights) because the city didn't wanted that a airline could fly from there (except some exceptions like europa park from/to + freight or political flights).

it currently was build by the canadians after the second world war. (http://airport-lahr.de/en/airport-lahr/)

I expect more airports like that were passenger flight is not allowed directly so they are not officially listed as airports that could handle it.

(Edit: Lahr actually bidded for the manufacturing process of the A380 (but never gotten it): http://www.airports-worldwide.com/germany/lahr_germany.htm)

The bug causing this crash might be exploitable. Think of a classic buffer overflow: if you overflow a buffer with all zeroes or random data, then the return address most likely gets overwritten with garbage that doesn't point to valid code or a mapped address and the process crashes. But if the attacker specially chose the data they put in the buffer, then they could choose to overwrite the return address with a valid memory address and make the process execute the attacker's own code.

If software written in C/C++ crashes and it's not because of a null pointer dereference specifically, then it's realistic to worry about whether it might be because of an exploitable bug (like a buffer overflow, a double-free, etc). One common way for people to try to find exploitable bugs is to script a program to re-run with random input data to figure out which inputs crash it, and then they debug the crashes to see if they're caused by exploitable bugs.
I got introduced to HTML through Neopets as well. I remember joining a Legend of Zelda guild. Another member and I decided to start our own guild.

Crawlers & scrapers that rely on headless browsers like Chrome often initiate playback of video on the pages they access.

The company I work for (Mux) has a product that collects user-experience metrics for video playback in browsers & native apps. It's been a non-trivial effort developing a system to identify video views from headless browsers so that we might limit their impact on metrics. Being able to make this differentiation has a real benefit to human users of our customer's websites.

My preference would be for headless browsers to not interact with web video or be easily identifiable via request headers, though I doubt either of these things will happen any time soon.

Both hex and ascii85 will align at 1024 byte boundaries, base64 will align at 1024*3 bytes, so you'll end up with a symbol stream something like this:

symbol_1, symbol_2, symbol_3, ptr_to_1, ptr_to_2,...

ascii85 performs better than hex simply because it's dictionary is shorter.

If you compress something with a bit more structure, like "Hamlet", you'll get this:

>>> import urllib.request,zlib,codecs,base64
>>> hamlet = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/2265/pg2265.txt").read()
>>> len(codecs.encode(hamlet, 'base64'))
248577
>>> len(codecs.encode(hamlet, 'hex'))
368018
>>> len(base64.a85encode(hamlet))
230012
>>> len(zlib.compress(codecs.encode(hamlet, 'base64')))

Often used argument arguing against immigration.

That's a very shortsighted view. One can do an examination of world history and geography to strongly support the conclusion that commerce and cultural interchange has a tremendous amplifying effect on the strength of culture and the value of human capital.

Japan itself is an example of this on a smaller scale. When Europeans first got to travel in Japan, they marveled at the sheer volume of commerce they saw.

If cultural evolution is anything like genetic algorithms, then what's needed for optimal progression is a balance of interchange and continuity: multiple populations with some degree of interchange.

I mentioned the Valley, and having a West LA airport I don't find silly at all if it cuts LAX traffic in half, contingent on OP's idea of public transportation into and out of West LA relieving the 405 and the 10. OP's idea isn't to increase air traffic, it's to disperse it.

>Metro lines cute

Yes, that is also what OP was addressing. Faster lines between these theoretical airports, because metro is slow. These would double as public transportation for commuters. I'd love a straight shot with no stops from LAX to West LA to DTLA.
One small nit on the Go example code:

func (wordTotals *WordTotals) Update(word string) {
total, found := wordTotals.WordTotals[word]
if !found {
total = 0
}
wordTotals.WordTotals[word] = total + 1
}

Can be done as:

func (wordTotals *WordTotals) Update(word string) {
wordTotals.WordTotals[word] += 1
}

(thanks to Go default values)
My first exposure was to BASIC and I turned out fine, like countless others. Remember that Dijkstra was an academic and a fairly radical one at that; people like him pushed the envelope in the best way, but despite their protests and the inadequacies of the languages, COBOL, PL/I, BASIC, and other such languages are "how the West was won."

Seattle is a pretty large city. It definitely had an extremely large effect.

As I understand it from stories people told me when I lived there for a few years, South Lake Union was a lower-rent district near the lake where younger single people lived that weren't attracted to the lifestyle on Capitol Hill but didn't make enough to live downtown proper or on Queen Anne or Magnolia hills. Now those people commute 45 minutes on the train from Everett or wait in traffic coming south on the heavily congested I-5 or west across the heavily congested Lake Washington Bridges.

So many of you are baselessly claiming this yet none of you are telling me what I could have possibly done "improperly" to get into this mess. I told it to update everything. And there were no packages that had more updates... except these ones which wouldn't budge. If just telling my system to update and letting it do whatever it wants is "not using it properly" then -- to put it as nicely as I can put it -- there is a UI/UX problem.
