jq is by far the best developed and has the most intuitive syntax, but it doesn't have a formal spec for its language.

I have been maintaining https://github.com/kislyuk/yq, which wraps jq with a transcoder for YAML and XML.
If they do, probably by reducing costs, it will likely be at the cost of manufactures, farmers producing the goods, and employees.
Between your Kanban board and your source control repository, there should be plenty enough for code documentation and comments. My engineers are trained to follow 2 basic software engineering priciples: function names should convey specific actions and methods should have a defined scope. Classes should therefore be compact as a result of the previous 2 principles. This keeps comments to a minimum and avoid ambiguities if semantic changes are required.
Yes, I was also severely disturbed by that photo. There are really good and important reasons for the separation of military and police, and the blurring of that line over the past two decades is going to have massive ramifications that I don’t think American society fully appreciates.

As an aside, I have severe qualms about the article (see my other comment) but that doesn’t mean there isn’t truth in that photo, nor does it mean that someone highlighting that such as yourself should be downvoted.
Unless the little guys were the original creators of whatever wares you were purchasing from them, their role in the value chain was merely that of a middle man. In that case, what moral, economic or societal benefit would come from purchasing from the little guy vs a giant retailer?
YouTube, where a user chooses to upload content and Google defines the platform features and standards, is pretty different to search.

‘Still retaining functionality’ would require assuming permissive access to images as the default, which is what has got a Google into this mess in the first place. The whole point of this is that, for sites and rights holders that don’t explicitly allow access, Google cannot assume they grant it. They have to assume the most restrictive grant of rights, and adoption of metadata to indicate more permissive access is so poorly adopted it’s just irrelevant in practice.
Yeah, if the RV is driving itself, say, 10 hours a day that's 500 miles. Call it $2/mile to operate--cars today are about 50 cents on average--that's $1,000/day. Maybe that's a bit high, call it $500/day.

You can live as a digital nomad today easily for that kind of money and aren't limited to being on the road or parked at RV parks. I'm not sure I see the attraction of being isolated and on the road all the time even if something else is doing the actual driving.
As much as I believe in free markets and less regulation, I believe we do need a law / regulation which disallows companies to use profits from one business to subsidize completely unrelated business while undercutting economics of the second one. For startups, they should be allowed to subsidize low prices only for a specified duration of time or until they hit a threshold of marketshare in a given market.

So Amazon should not be able to use AWS profits to subsidize retail, when other retailers don't have such cushions. Google should not be able to use Ads profits to undercut economics of browser or mobile OS. Uber/Lyft should not be allowed to capture more than 5-10% of SF/NYC taxi market unless they are profitable there.

Just to be clear - if someone can upend an entire business while being profitable, they should be allowed to flourish (eg. Netflix with rental movies, Apple with phones).

One possible exception - if there is no established business in a field and someone wants to move the technology forward there, they should be given some exception. So SpaceX can experiment with their rockets and Google can experiment with self driving cars because they won't be competing unfairly with any competitors.

Finally, I really hope EU adopts regulations along these lines. I have no hopes from US or China.
Running in a Dalvik/ART JVM isn't "truly native" either, from that point of view.
> eh, is that really the line? Does it matter what language it's coded in?

Yes, it matters. Levels of indirection matter. Doubting performance or not doesn't change the definition of the term which is admittedly ambiguous.

There are two forms of "native" IMO now. There is "system native" which I define as AOT to processor instructions. VMs, even with JITs, don't count (yup, this includes Android's JVM). Then there is "platform native", which I define as AOT-compiled to platform-suggested instructions. This does include Android JVM bytecodes.

This falls under neither. It may not matter what language something is coded in depending upon your requirements, but we shouldn't keep ascribing even more meaning to the term native.
You can fire people for more or less anything we are talking about whether its fair. Not sure how you get to total breakdown of trust.

> Not man enough, seriously? So are women exempt

Wow, you are seriously crazy. May I point out that your perception first of all is the result of your own brain? It is you yourself who has those ideas in their head - i did not write any of it, you found it in yourself.

As for part two of your fantastic rant, I refer back to what I wrote. You merely restate what was already said and what I responded to. Repetition does not make the argument any better.

This makes the mistake of correlating monetary success with wisdom.

Those are all salesmen. Go read Hatching Twitter. Jack Dorsey doesn't come off well. Ed Catmull was extolling the virtues of the creative environment at Pixar in Creativity, Inc. while John was regularly harassing women there. I like Paul but he's one for big claims and the other end of that is where you have to beg on HN to get Coinbase to give you your own money.

These guys are all impressive in their own right, but they should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Too much recency bias. I'd suggest that none of them belong in the same thought process as Marcus Aurelius, and they are put on the same level here. If they do belong there, you'll know an about 500 years. As it is, I'm not sure how much more to trust them than John McArthur, Creflo Dollar, or a random HN commentator. Hero worship is dangerous.

This is one of the Catmull quotes presented in full:

The takeaway here is worth repeating: Getting the team right is the necessary precursor to getting the ideas right. It is easy to say you want talented people, and you do, but the way those people interact with one another is the real key. Even the smartest people can form an ineffective team if they are mismatched. That means it is better to focus on how a team is performing, not on the talents of the individuals within it. A good team is made up of people who complement each other. There is an important principle here that may seem obvious, yet — in my experience — is not obvious at all. Getting the right people and the right chemistry is more important than getting the right idea.

How that could be written while sexual harassment was going on is boggling.

I'm currently in the process of trying to get the team at my new workplace to switch from MySQL to PostgreSQL. They chose it before I started and are now complaining about features it lacks (but Postgres has. Actually, some of the things they're complaining about can be done with MySQL, if only they knew how to use it, or knew enough to run a non-ancient version of it).

MySQL just seems like the amateurish "I don't know about databases but I need one" choice.
But where does the money come from then? Or better, where the incentive to put minor offenders in jail comes from? Especially taking into account how this makes much harder for them to have a normal life (job, friends, familiy etc.) afterwards. It seems things are arranged to get more people behind bars and make easier for them to return there; that way people who enter a jail for something trivial are more likely to become real criminals.
Some other users corrected me about the number of private jails so I'm genuinely interested to know. There are businesses involved with procuring guards, firearms, clothing, meals etc, but that would not change much in state owned prisons; in many countries it's perfectly normal to have public entities subcontracting services to the private sector.

On a related note I have been wondering why artist's never provide quality content for free. You know graphics/images for games etc and music/sound effects for example.

Coders provide software worth billions in man hours for free and trying to find quality "artistic" content is impossible. Every little clip art image costs many dollars.

Why do coders provide their services for free so generously while artists are mainly worried about their copyrights?

Hmmm... so under your plan would a bricks and mortar retailer be allowed to offer (say) free air conditioning or heat for customers who come in the store, or would they be required to charge for that? How about lighting? If so, how is offering free air conditioning to attract customers different from Google offering free search to attract customers?
> So, if anything, it is GNU that is "different" and "incompatible". (Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you)

What I mean under "incompatible" is not-supporting everything that the other does. Just couple of trivial examples: `sed -i 's/require/include/' Rakefile` throws `invalid command code R` Mac (you must use `sed -i "" 's/require/include/' Rakefile` instead) and `dd` does not support `status=progress` on Mac so you have to pipe it through `pv` and this is not free in terms of performance.
Yes all of it. I'm on a thinkpad T450, running Debian oldstable (jessie) which was frozen for release in late 2014.
It’s a common error of judgement to assume that people who don’t share your unvarnished enthusiasm are cynics. One way to test for this is to see if you can intelligently address the concerns of “cynics” without just waving your hands and invoking the rosy future you imagine. It can be helpful to look to the past and present and try to understand why people have reservations, and address them comprehensively.

Here in Bloomington, IN, we are dealing with militarization of our own police department.

The story: 2015, Chief of Police and Mayor went in private talks about armored vehicle. Over course of time, decided on a Lenco BearCat (https://www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/2017/09/10/us-back...) . Everything was hidden from public view. No discussion was made or attempted. 2 week ago in our newspaper, announced the purchase of it.

After that announcement, the Police department scrambled for a Tuesday @ Noon for an "informational meeting". Chief had no information about it, options purchased, considerations of other non-military vehicles - nothing.

This Thursday @ 7p was the State of the City address. BLM organized and started actively protesting after the Mayor made remarks that this is happening and meetings can be made to explain how it's used. Protest then commenced causing the State of the City to be forcefully cancelled.

Edit: We all can talk about Standing Rock, which is a national disgrace. But the militarization of police is a front that's happening everywhere, including little towns in flyover parts of the country, and at liberal college campuses. This is our effort of trying to stem this tide - and so far the fruitlessness of trying so.

Right, but isn’t this true about many other fields that women do go into, like art, design, medicine, journalism, earth sciences, finance, research, etc? In these fields, the “meat” of the job is also analytical and done alone, but they’re still seen as more social than CS.

"Prospered under inequality"? What was the name of this inequality law? Or was it "systemic" so I can't possibly understand it with my biased white male brain?

How is this liberal policy not racist?

Yeah, Commodore's business model seemed to be designing incompatible 6502 computers and throwing them against the wall to see which ones stuck. There was like a dozen of them, and only 2 or 3 really mattered. When they were riding high on the Commodore 64, they released the incompatible Plus/4 to great hype, and the market reaction was WTF, these guys are totally clueless.

Commodore mainly sold on price, which was great for people who wanted an accessible computer. But growing up, I knew a lot of people with zero interest in computers who had a Commodore stuffed in their closet. There was a thing "Computers are the future, so you're a bad parent if you don't buy one for your child." And the Commodore was the cheapest thing at K-Mart....

So in these discussions, people always say Commodore had bad management, but that was also the public perception at the time. They seemed shady. Meanwhile, Apple was expensive, but they were seen as really solid company. And not to mention IBM.

Three words: Disaster recovery site. That’s saved our butts so many times. We fail over then work on resolution and RCA.

I am a systems admin at a large multi national company. Downtime can run in the billions per hour. I’ve only ever seen billion dollar downtime once in eight years, and it was for a few hours only. The DBAs delayed the failover decision, God knows why. They should have done that immediately.

We have strict change controls and auditing so that the disaster recovery site always acts like it should, just like prod. Replication always occurs and when it fails it gets attention. Failover is regularly tested. Good governance makes all the difference.

This article describes a failure of governance. It is a management issue.

Edit: And governance is free. Replication is now within reach of even super tight budgets. See my reply below. So small companies can do this, which was my intended point.

I love libraries like this, which is small enough to be read in one sitting. I can scan through and get a general understanding of everything that it does.

The "evaluation of sub-expressions" made me curious. This line:

token.func = Function('_,i,args', 'return ' + token.val);

..could be a potential security issue with user-submitted expressions?
Trying to define an industry or segment is way too difficult for this. Then trying to define all these bright lines (revenue, market size, length of time, etc).

This sounds like a terrible idea that will be used mostly by politicians to extra money from companies.

And after every election these lines would likely be redrawn. The chaos this would introduce.

Just because something is limited in supply and capable of reproducing doesn't mean it inherently has value in the context of the greater economy. I don't think this "debunks" the irrationality of tulips. When the price crashed, they weren't left with a tulip they could continue to breed and make a living with, they were left with a worthless tulip.

I'll admit irrationality is hard to define. One could argue the entire art in industry is irrational, but given how low it's been around, it's safe to assume it ties into some fundamental irrationality in us that in turn makes it rational.

In this case, there was a significant possibility of danger to the authorities. The protesters refused to leave voluntarily, so force had to be used. They had no way of knowing what kind of resistance they could expect, or if there were armed elements among the resistors. If you defy the lawful authority of the state, don’t complain when the state has to resort to brute force. It must be that way if we are to have the rule of law. And don’t be surprised when they choose overwhelming force over putting themselves at risk.

There is a right to protest, not to obstruct the lawful functioning of society. We’ve had plenty of debate, we’ve had elections, we legally decided to build this pipeline. If you want to protest, find another place, one that doesn’t physically block other people from doing what they are legally entitled to do.
Their monopoly is more abstract: they have a monopoly on convenience. They ensured their product selection covers a wide variety of common objects that most people end up buying and streamlined their checkout process (they had the patent for 1 click checkout for 20 years) to reduce as much friction as possible to ensure that carts would not be abandoned.

What if the JavaScript is compiled to JVM opcodes?

I guess I don't see your point here.

A Java compiler takes Java code and compiles it to JVM opcodes.

Presumably this package (I haven't looked at the details, so could be wrong here) takes JavaScript code and compiles it to JVM opcodes.

I see no prima facie reason to assume that one would be more "performant" than the other. That's the whole idea behind things like LLVM and CLR, right?

The reason I prefer JSON over XML is the latter's ambiguity. It's completely obvious how to convert a native object into a JSON object, for example. The translation to XML brings all sorts of questions about when to use tags vs. attributes of tags. It's cognitive load I'd rather spend on solving the problem at hand, not serialization.

If there had been an opinionated SGML syntax which mapped directly and unambiguously to common language primitives and back, I'm sure it would have been more popular than JSON.

> Why do we no longer have Renaissance men/women today, contributing to the sciences, philosophy and the arts? What did we lose?

A lot of the low-hanging fruit has already been claimed, and it's very difficult now for amateurs to make discoveries in mathematics and physics. There are people today doing amazing research, it just takes a career and a team (and in many cases expensive equipment) to do so.

If by "Renaissance men/women" you mean "well-versed/engaged in many topics", well, you just need to open your eyes. There are many folks like this now, likely millions. It was a bit more of a rarity a few hundred years ago, so it was much easier for these individuals to be documented/preserved.
For the love of God, we don't need anymore JS "native" app frameworks. Just learn Swift and Java like a competent engineer would.
That is not a naive understanding of American antitrust law; it's perfectly accurate. It's not illegal to have a monopoly, it's illegal to abuse your monopoly position to harm consumers. This is in contrast to EU antitrust law.

And yes, this is what I think the policy should be. We don't want to punish success. We want to protect consumers.
TL/DR (but read the link, it's worth it): MIT's Pirate Certificate became available in the Fall of 2011. MIT students who successfully complete Archery, Fencing, Pistol (or Rifle) and Sailing get the certificate.

It was intended as a fun way to incentivize students meeting the physical education component of their degree requirements. The certificate does not entitle the student to engage in piracy.
