To be fair there are other ways of solving that problem.

If you're worried about class overlap, you can define unique/hash-based classnames on build with css-loader.

If you're still worried about aggressive stylesheets destroying your components, you can wrap them in however many classes you see fit (some people might use `.n.e.a.t.l.i.b .cool-class` instead of polluting component code with CSS).

As far as CSS scaling poorly, that's really up to you. I find that it's an afterthought to most people, and full of weird hacks and `!important`s a few months into a project. That's fine if that's how you want to do it, but it's not an inevitability.

(I say this as someone working on a component library that's used on over half a million sites)

Is there anything wrong with being patriotic?
By being proud of your culture?

Yeah, I puff my chest when I think of my personal achievements. But that doesn't mean I don't feel a sense of pride when I read I piece of text written thousand years ago in the same language I speak today.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of being a part of something, as long you don't disparage others. But I guess it's easier to think in collective terms when you're born of a minority that for the larger part of history was oppressed.
You said what I came here to say - "this really should be called Ub Iwerks' multiplane camera"
> It's not possible to engineer an autonomous system that never fails, but it is possible to engineer one in such a way that it never fails to detect that it has failed

This seems to me to be a clearly incorrect (and self-contradictory) claim. It entirely depends on your definition of failure.

Your analysis seems fine. The big problem is that the "autonomous" driver is using one signal (where are the lines on the edge of the road?) to the near exclusion of all others (is there a large stationary solid object in front of me?)

Maybe Tesla should have hired George Hotz (sp?) if only to write a lightweight sanity-check system that could argue with the main system about whether it was working.
Yes, once you start asking _really_ difficult questions that require in-depth knowledge of a niche topic to answer SO becomes less useful, since the pool of people who know enough to actually answer your question is too small.

In cases like that I usually just end up answering my own question later, after I've figured it out by other means.
There's actually a recent precedent for this. The "@" symbol was almost completely unused prior to the late 90's. Email saved it from extinction, but now Twitter and other services have made it a universally understood named-person-entity indicator (which English never had before).
> I know next-to-nothing about Chinese, but it seems to me that if a language can be spoken, it can be represented with a phonetic alphabet.

You might be interested in this:

One interesting thing I learned from it the logographic aspects of written Chinese have influenced spoken Chinese by encouraging short, phonetically-ambiguous abbreviations that tend to replace the original phonetically-distinct words.

> Those sentences which only make sense in traditionally-written, not spoken or phonetically-written Chinese, would obviously be a huge cultural loss.

That's already happened to a degree. The Chinese dropped written Classical Chinese for written Mandarin, which is based on a vernacular. That's akin to the West dropping written Latin in favor of vernacular writing. I understand Classical Chinese needs to be translated to be understood.

If an industry has a realistic prospect of making a serious dent in that number, subsidizing it IS the "moral" thing for a government to do, in my opinion.
A lot of implementation complexity comes from improving the user experience. E.g. you add a new feature and users will expect to be able to use all their old constructs with it.
As a general point , we have to assume that the configurations of matter is limited by some function of mass and available space. For any given space and matter, that matter can only be configured in some finite set of ways.

In that regard, the number of inventions (as subset of all sets of configured matter)- is similarly bound. We might argue that such a bounding is infinitely expanding along with the universe, as space is a important variable in the equation. Even so, my assumption is that space becomes irrelevant after a certain point of expansions. (If I have 2 atoms in a field of a billion of square miles, the number of configurations is only trivially changed by adding a few more square miles.

Once more, even if an infinitely expanding universe equates to an infinitely expanding art of inventions (configurations) - the fact remains that the set is fixed for any given time point.
What in particular has caused damage?
We have a bunch of people that have to build and maintain VBA excel files for our clients. We'd really rather not maintain all this VBA crap.
Can we replace that with this? Can it deploy files with all those horrible rules or is it more primitive than that and only functions as an IDE for personal Excel munging?

Ideally, those 'discussions' would be incorporated into an answer, if only a new answer. Even-more-ideally, a single (most-upvoted) answer would incorporate all of the info from other answers and subsequent comments. That, of course, doesn't happen that often.

Every Wikipedia article has a talk page. But that doesn't mean that the purpose of the site is discussion. I think the same thing applies to SO.

Having worked with/on two large-scale web crawling systems at FAST Search & Transfer; The C-Crawler that powered alltheweb.com (owned now by Yahoo) and a python-based crawler that was a workhorse for FAST ESP/Scirus.com/etc.. (now owned by Microsoft); this run-down is pretty good. Some things I'd add:

- Link traps. If you limit to 100 pages per site not as big an issue but if you want to go deeper you need a way to detect when a site is generating garbage.

- Near duplicate detection. There's lots of sites like you mention that republish content of others, but some just present it in different ways with different headers, timestamps, etc..

- Content/meta-data detection/extraction, once crawled you want to do something with the content and detecting the actual content of pages is non-trivial if you don't want headers/ads/etc..

- How do you handle non-HTML content (PDF, Docs, etc?)

- How do you handle large content (sample, truncate, ignore)?
In the context of Facebook's tracking of non-users and logged out users being found illegal in Belgium, and potentially elsewhere in Europe, couldn't this legally be considered an extortion racket?
Isn’t redistributing power different from increasing ones own power though?

My goal is to redistribute power from people of my “kind” to people in my geography, roughly evenly. I think that’s fundamentally different from “increasing my own power” although I do admit it’s not wholly different.

I think your statement is just too reductive. There are corporations, federations, partnerships, syndicates, all of these organizations have vastly different power centralization properties.
> In the early days of the Internet, before the Web, there was a system called Usenet which created primitive online discussion forums.

I wouldn't call Usenet groups 'primitive online discussion forums'; indeed, I rather strongly believe that in most respects Usenet was better & more advanced than current technologies.

It was fast. How fast? Really, really fast: every article was already sitting on your local system, so there was no network lag (or just LAN lag, if your local system was on a network). Articles were plain ASCII text: no ads, no images, no JavaScript. The combination of local articles & small articles wins over web pages every day of the week.

It was easy to find stuff. While the system was distributed across the world, there was a nice, neat hierarchy. This wins over the Web, which needs a service like Google to be usable. If one wanted to, one could perform full-text search over the entire newsfeed in realtime (James 'Kibo" Parry was famous for this). Imagine being able to grep the Internet!

It was decentralised: you could get multiple newsfeeds from multiple sources. You could have site-local newsgroups if you wanted to, or just share certain groups with your peers.

It had killfiles. It's hard to express, nowadays, how valuable these were. And you were in control, not some unaccountable moderator.

A 21st-century version of Usenet, with encryption, authentication & Unicode, and capable of scaling up to 7 billion people, would be just awesome.

Web forums are a primitive version of Usenet.

I'm not familiar with this person so I followed the link to his previous prediction of BTC reaching "$25,000 by the end of 2018" from January: https://altcoinreport.co/tom-lee-predicts-bitcoin-price/

> “We expect bitcoin’s major low to be $9,000, and we would be aggressive buyers around that level … We view this $9,000 as the biggest buying opportunity in 2018.”

BTC is currently trading at about $6,500. At this point I'd sooner believe cartomancers when it comes to cryptocurrency market predictions, the market is too irrational and easily manipulated to make these types of predictions IMO. Might as well try to guess the outcome of tonight's lottery.

There are ways to get around the immutability, but they are very highly discouraged and I haven't seen anybody use them other than newcomers. Think of it like `unsafePerformIO :: IO a -> a` in Haskell.

Namely there is:

- Making the Nix store writable. Normally it's mounted read-only, and only the Nix daemon can write finished deterministic builds there. Often wanted by users who haven't learned how to handle Nix packages, as they just want to change some file in the store.

- Disabling the sandbox. Usually all builds are done in a sandbox which doesn't have network access, read access only to the Nix store and write access only to only the destination directory in the Nix store (with some exceptions), which gives strong reproducability guarantees.

"You're conflating the choice to go to war with the technology to facilitate that war. They are not the same thing. The choice to to war was a mistake. But once the choice has been made, ensuring that victory is swift and precise is absolutely ethical."

I disagree. Creating these weapons, especially things like drones which make it much, much easier to go to war, and removes the penalty of having your own citizens die in combat, conflates those two things. If it's easier to go to war, and your side doesn't have to suffer casualties, you will go to war more often. Thus, these things are unethical, as you are facilitating war.
You don't have to make a lot of assumptions to realize doing the math is a waste of time. The group of people most likely to pay for services like Facebook are 20-something year olds with some extra money to spend. That's a group advertisers care very much about. If they're gone your customers (the advertisers) aren't going to be happy.

Sure, at this point you could still hire some company to do phone surveys for you trying to figure out how many of you users would be willing to pay and you can make some kind of educated guess as to how that would affect advertising revenue but why bother, really.

Blockchain is actually a technological shadow cast by a sociological proposition, which is then you can trust people to voluntarily deprive themselves of leverage for the sake of the greater good.

Blockchain is essentially a tool for measuring how much leverage different nodes have in a network system. All of the functional premises of blockchain depend on the assumption that the only leverage that exists in a blockchain network is that which can be represented by the various metrics exposed by the protocol. Obviously this is not the case, networks are often stacked with multiple layers, not all of which are visible to instrumentation, and many are deliberately hidden or informally created as the opportunity arises. Cliques form, whether by design or merely as a consequence of some underlying structure or geometric boundary domain, influence builds around them, and sooner or later someone finds the ideal geometric position from which they can become the center of decentralisation.

This is essentially another instance of goodhart's law, which states that the moment any given metric becomes a useful target for optimization, it ceases to be a useful measurement. Or another variation of this same observation, the McNamara fallacy, which can be summed up as the belief that the only factors in a system that count, are those that can be counted.

There's also time-restricted eating. In mouse models, 2 mice with the same bad diet (high sugar, high fat), but one eating during a 12 hour window and another eating any time, the 12-hour window mice staved off conditions like diabetes much longer.

So it's not only what we eat, but "when" we eat as well.

Show HN: A module that parses markdown to HTML || Node.js
Nice quality content, I'll definitely take advantage of the free period. The cost to sign up seems very high for what this is though. I expected a one time cost, or maybe $5 or so a month. $290 annually seems expensive for a single format of lessons from a single teacher. Even the current promotion seems onerous. As a point of comparison, Safari Books Online does sales for $199 annually just about every year and has content from countless instructors in many formats, including live training. Perhaps I'm missing some information, as I only read the sale page before viewing content.

Not posting this to complain. I'd really like to see quality content like this reach more eyes, and I hate to see the author shoot themselves in the foot by putting up such a high barrier to access it. It's entirely possible I'm just not aware of the costs that go into creating this content.

Indeed.... if you pay anything to FB, you reveal a propensity to spend money online and self-select into a group of prime targets for adtech. FB is an ad company, they will not be able to resist brokering deals for access to that group.

You can't beat FB through playing by their rules. Rather we need to change the game.
What I wind up doing while developing is just creating a nix-shell with my native dependencies, and using pip/cargo/whatever inside that. It's not the "proper" way of doing things - you wouldn't want to install a tool long-term that way - but it's useful for one-off things or while you're playing around.

I've used npm2nix and cargo2nix a couple of times with success - they generate package sets from the relevant sources.

This is correct: if both parties have some pre-agreed secret, then it is much easier to secretly communicate over any channel and the method you are describing works and is similar in spirit to standard steganographic methods.

However, deriving the "secret" from "some headline from a newspaper" will not work because the adversary can also perform the same derivation and will be able to extract the secret conversation as easily as Alice or Bob.

The problem he's going to run into now is that giving him his fair share is going to have dramatically greater tax implications if given in the form of equity. Options are a possibility, and if the company is an LLC there are interesting ways to play with a share of the profit account instead of the capital account. Any way you cut it though, it sounds like OP is owed some substantial proceeds. I hope we hear how this one gets resolved!
Or maybe it's not steep enough. A forced-sell situation doesn't leave much pricing power. The classical Roman fire-sale is the archetypical case. Also I'm sure many taxpayers will elect not to pay the capital gains before tax day, deciding instead to ride out interest and penalties in favor for being able to sell at a higher price. This could get interesting.

I would love to see an after the fact analysis that deduces the relative market power of buyers and sellers from the transaction history.

Thanks. I suspected as much, but haven't had the time to actually look at the source code.

Looks like another bump in the road in getting this thing running on e.g. Linux. It'll be interesting to look at reverse-engineered System Shock file format info, and see if anything but the data-loading functions would need to be changed, to use the more widely-available PC data.
