>>In the case of fascism - (capital-F and lower-case-f), it's already been demonstrated repeatedly (with great loss of life and material progress), that this kind of intolerance must be stopped early and often.

This is your political bias coming through I think. I assume you self identify as "left" as such you easily see the extreme harm that comes from fascism, but I bet you do not view communism and socialism as being equally dangerous. They are.

The danger to society however is not Fascism, but is Authoritarianism / Totalitarianism. That is what needs to be combated with arguments, and education. Fascism is a type of Totalitarianism, but lets identify the root cause of the problem and fight it. Lets oppose all forms of Authoritarian control over people, not just the economic "Right".

Education is really the key, an educated society generally, and naturally wants to have more liberty, they trend more libertarian. This is why one of the first things a Authoritarian society does is limit education to only those groups that the people in power believe will be loyal to their Authoritarian power structure.

My biggest issue with your comment is you have not defined what "shutting down fascism" looks like. You can only defeat (truly defeat) an oppressive dogmatic ideology like fascism with logic, reason, and education. You might be able to temporarily suppress it with guns, violence and "internet bulling" but all you are doing is covering up a festering wound.

Change your tacit, Oppose Authoritarianism, Support education (not schooling), support teaching people how to think critically, support rigorous debate.

DO NOT support censorship, curbing of freedom, violence (i.e Punch a Nazi), or even bullying, that will never defeat ideologies like Fascism, and in some ways to strengthen them
I hope that this is widely used, and that Private Eye picks up on it as a source of information. Also if any commenters haven't read "Bad Science", and the follow-up "Bad Pharma" by Ben Goldachre (who inspired the tool) they are well worth a read.

The use of "chrome" in this context isn't limited only to browsers[0].

My recollection is that Google Chrome was so-named because one of their design goals was to _minimize_ the amount of GUI chrome, so that the maximum amount of screen space was available for displaying web page content.

Raw figures are worthless without taking into account cost of living, taxes and public services (social security, retirement plan).
Let's assume redbox buys a single bluray for $20, and there's rental demand for each movie for 1 year. If variable cost = $1/physical disc per month, then redbox profit per disc would be something like:

P = (# of rentals * $1) - $32

where $32 = the $20 disc cost + monthly var cost

If redbox rents the movie once per week, their per disc annual profit is $20

But, if redbox can now sell the virtual download code for $8 online (essentially $0 variable cost for holding digital inventory), and digital sales has little impact on physical rentals, then the equation would be:

P = (# of rentals * $1) - $32 + $8

With annual profit per disc in the 1x/wk rental case now $28, or a 40% gross margin increase. All #s are just napkin math/assumptions, but it's easy to see the benefit here for redbox.

You kind of expect, with their possibly the best supply chain teams and economy of scale, Apple will be getting some advantage over other players. Example they are possibly the largest NAND and DRAM purchasers, and yet it doesn't seems to be reflected in their product. I.e the NAND prices for Apple should be cheaper then say Lenovo, HP or Dell.

I have had the same theory about Apple's diseconomies of scale long before Gruber publish it [1], although we may have no way to prove it, this Cobalt story may just be another example. Apple are willing to pay a premium for it, as long as the supply is stable.

As soon as VR gaming started, people wanted to interact with objects in multiplayer environment.

The implementation here is extremely valuable. One can go and just make VR volleyball or any other VR application wixh requires multiple people to participate.

I wouldn't buy a TomTom device either, because I've got it in my phone and that's what I was talking about.
The most interesting part to me about the crash is that it embodies everything that's wrong with planning things on a large scale. The plan reflected the utopian view of the original architect, rather than the real life needs of the people that ended up living there. As one of our town council members put it 'Nobody ever tried to make a whole city happy with endless space to fish and walk'.

That's a bad thing. At least when you are reading Washington Posts online article about the russian hack of the US power grid it says:
"Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid."

In old media, people would still believe it was russian goverment hacking. Now it backfired in the online world and "fake news".
I can't help but wish we'd seen where the rapping Alexander Hamilton's thoughts were going.

But of course I'd think that, having been a wobbler on the Firewood Test. ;)
Major versions of the same library are available, referenced by different paths.

It works if they don't reference any global resources outside of their own package. If they do reference any global resources (such as the using the standard flag package, paths on the filesystem, mutexes etc.), then things can fail badly. Yes, this means if one of your dependencies pulls in a different major version of a package than used by other dependencies, then they can end up duelling over resources.
Apps that work just as well across Mac/Windows/Linux.

Among terminal emulators for example, Hyper is the only one I can think of.

> Don't tear it down just yet.

Most of what was torn down will (hopefully) stay torn down, and what remains standing will probably remain a while longer.

> Housing prices are rising there fast now as well

That's because of an extensive renovation plan that took over two decades to take root.

The bigger driving factor is that Amsterdam housing prices have risen to the point that they made the Bijlmer look viable again.

I've had quite a bit of family and friends living in the Bijlmer, the whole place has a super turbulent history and it has been a very expensive and real life study in how large scale plans can go off the rails. Something similar but on a much smaller scale happened in Amsterdam Noord (Plan van Gool).

I agree with you, and I tried my best to change things.

A few years ago I made Anvil - a React-ish framework for Android for native UI (reactive, declarative, works best with Redux) and have been using it in many production apps as long as I was doing Android development. But it still is a niche product, most developers prefer visual UI editor and whatever is the official Google way to do Android apps. Still, I'm very proud of Anvil.

https://github.com/zserge/anvil

Then, once I had to deal with desktop apps I figured out that HTML/CSS/JS seems to be the best option for custom (no native widgets) and modern (animations, shadows, nice fonts etc) UI. But Electron was a heavy beast, so I made a tiny wrapper over native browser engines (webviews). So far I'm very happy with it, it's much lighter and smaller than electron. And it's very convenient to use from C++ or Go. Some kind people added Rust and Nim support, I'm now working on Python and Node.js bindings. So yeah, it's pretty much language-agnostic, although it's still web UI.

I really hope it can take it's niche for small desktop apps that don't need the full power of Electron, yet need to have a good look.

Small quibble:

> note that we are still dealing with pseudocode

He's got a funny idea about pseudocode!

This is very timely. I've been writing an app to draw polyhedra and it's slowly been dawning on me that there's a lot more graph theory involved than there is 3D geometry or vector maths.
> Dynamic programming. Only recently has it been shown that, unless P=NP, O(n^2) is basically optimal. [6]

This is about a dynamic programming approach to the edit distance problem. Not dynamic programming itself, which is a vague term (I think it's basically "use a bottom-up approach and avoid doing the same work twice")
Impossible Car City Mega Ramp 3D
Welcome to the new grand ramp racing game of next generation stunts in Impossible Car City Mega Ramp 3D
A browser (or Electron) does not allocate as much memory as it can on a whim, every byte of that memory is used to bring you features, caching, and so on. What program have you seen that takes 800 MB of memory? And why would a modern GUI program not utilise memory if it's available and it's free in order to cache data, requests, build an in-memory database, and so on? Browser programming is a lot more than finding the shortest path in a graph. It's commonplace to have 4-10GB of free memory at any given time and it should be utilised if it's available instead of being wasted by being unused.
For multi-platform to be worth anything it has to be good for something. Why would I care that an app I don't want to use can be executed on several platforms?
Off topic, but just a side note. If you test drive the high end Genesis, you will no longer think "oh garbage". They are amazing cars for the price. On paper, they are better in almost every way than a BMW and their highest end Genesis (previously Equus) is actually nipping at the heels of a Bentley when it comes to features. As for driving, I definitely prefer the feel of a BMW 7, but I thought it was comparable to a BMW 3 or 5.
Ask HN: How to Raise Money for an Ambitious Project?
Hey HN. Sova here. I love this community, I think we get a lot of positive societal work done here. I really want to benefit society and mankind through my labors in this life. I have an ambitious project that is completely feasible. In my years as a programmer and designer and coder and human-brain-to-computer-liaison I have accumulated a wealth of valuable skills and even some nice philosophical counterarguments to how the mind is not a computer. I digress, however. I'm building a really strong application with a basis in digital currency and I want to raise money for it successfully the first 'go round so I can hire 3-4 brilliant fellow coders and developers to help me make it a reality and quickly (within 1-2 years).

I want to offer investment to everyone, but it turns out that in the United States only accredited investors [people with many banknotes] can be asked to fund traditional companies with investment (think stocks and IPOs). This makes sense, you don't want to gamble with the cash of hardworking people, but I'm interested in sharing the wealth of a strong project early on with commonfolk. So I'm wondering, how can I do that as well? Thanks for reading.
That's a great, yet easily forgotten distinction
What do you mean which ones? I am talking about dependency injection as a technique/pattern. In Go you can just do it without importing anything.

Please read:

https://medium.com/@benbjohnson/standard-package-layout-7cdb...

(I've linked to the exact point in the article where it talks about DI but you might want to read the rest as well.)
I think it's much more subtle.

It might be better to separate the two use cases as: "data at rest" and "data in use" like Amazon does with S3 where they charge separately for storage and transfer costs. If you do not access your data stored on S3 throughout a billing period, your invoice will only reflect those costs -- your usage costs will be stated as $0 for that month.
Exactly. It's the basic Akamai error for: Your IP range are blacklisted, and it's probably because you are visiting from outside of US.
Yeah, I agree - C/C++ are the reasons why Qt is not popular.
That's almost exactly what I was thinking of. There does look to be a big caveat with it though - instead of JS, it has an ECMAScript variant called TIScript. I'm sure this was a good choice when it was made, but javascript libraries and tooling are a lot to miss out on now.

this so much. I have had terrible micromanagers these are anxiety inducing. Also fake bro-managers, fakely imposing a friendship where there is none and trying to get more over time just by being friendly.

You're not representative of the development world as a whole. You not wanting to use anything electron related is irelevant to its actual success.

Don't forget HN is a bubble : Electron is very much appreciated outside of this particular community.
I think that is a fair request. Fill an issue?
Well, I assume you are calculating as if you paid all cash for the house. With a mortgage, you leverage quite a bit. Most would never be able to leverage that much to invest in the stock market.
I don't know how the media landscape looks in other countries, but in Denmark actual news on TV is basically non-existing. There are news programming scheduled, but they often lack actual news content.

Danish TV2 for instance have a "30 minute" news program at 19:00. It consist of a short news summary (3 minutes), one main story (around 7 minutes), 5 minutes for "other news items". 5 minutes for weather and 5 minutes for an "inspirational" story, which would be more fitting for an evening talkshow.

There aren't real news broadcasts left on TV any more. I don't think that TV necessarily should die out, but the TV stations are slowly making themself less relevant by focusing on more, but cheaper content, rather than scaling down. Do you really need to run six channels, when you only have content for 2 or 3?
I'm not in Java world, but I remember there were talks about future AOT awhile ago - is this a thing now? i.e. you don't have to ship the whole JVM, and no more bytecode, just a native executable?

If this is a thing now, supported and official - why it's not more popular? (or maybe I'm wrong).
But fortunately for what is now 'nieuw zuid' but actually pretty old it always was an integral part of the city. Bijlmer started out geographically isolated without anything else to do there but sleep.

Incidentally I grew up in 'de pijp' which is right next door to mr. Berlage's creations so I know the area like my back pocket and went to school there for years.
That's a bad thing. At least when you are reading Washington Posts online article about the russian hack of the US power grid it says: "Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid."

The record that a correction was made only exists if all involved parties wants it to. If the publisher/government/Google/ISP etc. has malicious intent, they could make changes silently and pretend as if nothing happened.

At least with newspapers, the physical copy of the previous version will always exist (barring the implementation of totalitarian government and 1984-style memory holes, of course).
Yes, but some of them are of very high quality, such as wxPython or PyQt.

And to be honest, modern C++11/14/17 is quite a different language, more friendly to beginners compared to 90s C++ people remember.

Writing C++ with wxWidgets or Qt really feels like Java or C# with their batteries.
Disagree.

We're worse off, specifically because of that.

Who's following the updates of the articles they read? Very few, much fewer than the already few who are reading in the first place.

No, the "mislead and correct after the news cycle" thing is most certainly not an improvement. It might have been different...

From the FDA:

> It is often not possible to determine which parties may be non-compliant based solely on the information in the record that is publicly posted on clinicaltrials.gov

Considering that "nobody has ever been penalised for breaching those codes", this sounds like a handwave. What's the point of the website if it doesn't accurately report missed deadlines? Or if missing deadlines doesn't breach the rules then in what sense are they deadlines?

Counting bloom filters are only marginally more difficult to implement. To increment a key, find the minimum value stored in all of the slots for the key, and then increment all of the stored values for that key that are equal to the minimum value. To read, return the minimum value for all of the values stored in slots for the key.

For these purposes, however, you probably instead want to store just separate Bloom filters for counts above different thresholds, since the common use case would be accept/reject decisions based upon a single threshold.
If you have more accurate figures, by all means post them. But it's going to take a lot to span a gap this broad.

Not that painful (speaking from experience of running one).
Assuming that efficacy is randomly distributed, you're left with some very frustrating math. You'd need to try five drugs to have a better than 50/50 chance of getting a positive outcome. After seven drugs, there's still a 34% chance that none of them have worked. After fifteen drugs, there's still about a 10% chance that nothing has worked. I expect that most patients will give up on drug treatment well before that point.

I don't want to be overly negative about antidepressant drugs - they're a useful treatment for many patients - but I do feel that the popular perception of their efficacy is far greater than the reality. Many people seem to feel extremely disheartened when antidepressant drugs don't work for them, often believing that there must be something uniquely wrong with them. The language of psychiatry doesn't help, describing these people as "treatment-resistant" rather than "people we don't know how to treat".

If you try antidepressant drugs and they don't seem to do anything, don't keep taking them just because you think you're supposed to. Speak to your doctor about alternative drug and non-drug treatments. If you have access, try a range of psychotherapies. If your symptoms are relatively mild, look at lifestyle interventions. If your symptoms are particularly severe and/or chronic, give some serious thought to rTMS or ECT.

In my experience (with apps like spotify, the signal client and a couple of others) it's only marginally better than running a Windows app through wine as far as the user experience is concerned. It doesn't integrate very well, it uses a shameful amount of RAM etc...

I'd much prefer if these companies used open APIs (some do) and let the FLOSS crowd make clients if they cared for them. I've replaced the spotify application with librespot lately and it works very well, although it lacks a UI so I have to use my phone as a remote. I'm also currently using the signal electron client which works okay but uses an order of magnitude more RAM after a few minutes of runtime than my irssi that's been running for months. It also doesn't have better usability if you don't like clicking everywhere and prefer keyboard control.

I don't hate electron, it's just "okay". It's a symptom of the webification of the world as web technologies make a foray into the desktop and server space. I think a framework like Qt is objectively superior, both from a developer and user perspective but I'm sure these days it's probably easier and cheaper to find webdevs than Qt devs and it's all that matters.
> First, the fact that it's within reach is amazing. It's one of those wierd cases where regular people instinctively put it in the "mars colony" category of futurism while sober insiders had to bring us back to a more optimistic view.

I think a Mars colony is closer than self driving cars. You need basically strong AI for fully self-driving cars. You just need a ton of money and an incentive for Mars colonies.
Most of the science for going to Mars is already there, as well as the tech. I don't think we even truly have the science for wide spread, all-weather, all-terrain self driving cars.
Can't wait to transfer my web apps to Electron and see how laggy it gets.
