I have to say I was a firm supporter of tesla's autopilot, but you know, this is rediculous, Tesla should be ashamed say sorry, say oour system is crap , is a demo version and it doesn't work, and thats it. The rest is history, I was about to get a new tesla, not anymore.

Most likely filesystem access and other native features like desktop notifications.

Then there is the efficiency. My suspicion is that electron has a completely misconfigured caching system. Usually only one browser is running on a system and therefore many applications share the caching system. This means each electron application has an oversized cache that wastes memory and disk without meaningfully increasing performance.
I think we are beyond the point where services can lead with being a social network and succeed. Every service that supports multi-user interaction is a network, and every network that supports personal expression in its interactions is a social network.

A service that is, as this is billed, just a social network, with no clear defining feature or problem it’s solving, is vapid and akin to the dotcom bubble.

I’m finding that “social networks” should be a consequence of a product that solves a real problem, not that product’s raison d’etre. And furthermore, given the data collection/privacy zeitgeist of late, I’m of the belief that a social network developing within your service is a liability.
Sure. But from this, it follows that you'll have so many AP disconnects that you might as well keep the AP off, defeating its purpose.
Except on Twitter it does work and very organically too.

Definitely not the case. They only banned a few of the worst offenders.
> There are better places if you just want to talk about yourself.

hmm, I don't agree with what you are implying defines acceptable comment content on HN. There are many if not a majority of comments highly rated on HN which are highly personal that necessarily talk about themselves, it's part of what makes those comments interesting, if we all commented like wikipedia articles it would be a dull place indeed. My comment maybe flawed in the eyes of other HN readers, but not for the reason you have highlighted.

In my case it's is both personal and relevant but to be honest - not interesting or insightful which is probably why someone mean enough gave me a downvote... but then afterwards I broke the "first rule of fight club" which on HN is equivalent to throwing yourself to the wolves, I accept that, and also can't help it, it's just my nature, I don't self censor for points.
I agree as well that protocols would be the answer. I don't believe in it though. There are two very large groups of people who make every attempt in this direction fail. Yes, even things that apparently succeeded already (like email) are always fighting an uphill battle against these two groups.

Group one are the Trumps and Putins. The guys who want to control everything. They always want to centralize everything with themselves standing at the top. Sadly a lot of people with power/money are like that.

Group two are the dont-care folks. The ones that sign up to every next facebook because they don't care if their data is misused. The ones that make jokes about Zuckerberg today, but still use FB. They won't put up with the slightest bit of uncoolness or usability discomfort no matter what harm it does to their freedoms.

Sadly both these groups work very well together. Basically I gave up hope that anything reasonable can be achieved as long as both these exist. There's only the option to join either group and live with what these groups bring with them.

My internal voice while reading is around 2-3x as fast as most people speak (this is natural speed, without trying to speed-read). It's also one of the main reasons I stumble over words when speaking - they get jumbled together because I can't actually speak that fast. So I don't find that unbelievable at all.
I suggest Voat.
The point I was trying to make with the WhatsApp examples is that the work to make it easier could be part of Peepeth. I don't think WhatsApp is leveraging much existing work to do what it does, they've just come up with a good flow that fits their model.

Yes, the challenge for Peepeth is probably greater than that faced by WhatsApp, but not impossible.

The implicit assumption being made in the parent is that the current market size is dictated by UX, rather than something else like a compelling use case for the majority of the population. I'm suggesting that with some UX work and a compelling use case (which Peepeth may or may not be), there is nothing preventing large scale adoption of crypto.
Dear lord why. Can't they just let it be? Why risk changing things when you have such a massive user base? It's not like there's a slew of users lamenting gmail's bad design or a major competitor threatening their market share.

Does anyone remember the Pierre Omidyar's "manifesto" on how Ebay is all about what is good about human and that humans are mostly good by default? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
First, let's clear the misconception of cost effectiveness. An F-35 shooting down a dingy Su-24 amortized way back in 1992 would be entirely worth it, if Su-24 was on a mission to strike your C&C centre or naval port. No different really than using a $50,000 guided bomb to destroy Taliban encampment with $800 worth of rusty AKs and a pick up truck. If it solves the military objective and you can afford it, it is a good solution.

Long term, strategically, cost is important, sure. Prolonged world war, major players scale. Short term, no. And in a conflict, minor players have short term only operational horizon at their disposal.

> What's most interesting to any buyer is for X billion dollars, and N years of flying, what capability can I get?

Norway found the cost manageable, in competition with other bidders. And for comparison, a municipal garage of the parliament in Oslo now stands at the cost of three F-35 acquisitions.
Agree they should not match, however I think it is also important that people trust the tech, which in turn requires it to not make any mistakes we would consider obvious. People are really bad at estimating risk, a problem which I think will be easier to overcome this way.

A system which makes exactly the same mistakes as a competent human but never gets tired, never uses the phone, has 360 degree vision with no blind spots… even that would be a huge improvement over the status quo. On the other hand, a system which crashes because it missed something Joe Average calls obvious when they see the black box pictures on the news… that system will never be trusted enough to replace human drivers, not even when it has a tenth of the fatality rate.
> Trains have wifi

On the WCML, you have to pay ££ for WIFI unless you're in first class and even then it's patchy because the train doesn't always have a clear view for the satellite data.

> or you can just use 4G.

Down the WCML, you're lucky to get even 3G thanks to the combination of poor coverage from cell towers (not much call for them in rural landscapes, really) and the metallised glass they use on the trains.

> hello is the first social network built on loves, not likes.

I'm sorry, but this sounds like a joke to me. Loves instead of likes? Is this the first thing you want to say about your born again social network.

> I designed hello to help you connect with people who share your passions.

Sound very much like the “Facebook has always been about helping people make connections” mantra.

So, I guess it's Facebook with loves and mobile app only... Say what you want about Mastodon, but at least it's a real alternative.

This is up for debate:

"But while F-22 pilots are confident about the Raptor’s ability to defeat the S-300V4 and the S-400, the Air Force official acknowledged that the stealthy fifth-generation aircraft has never faced off against these next-generation Russian air defenses in actual combat before."

I would not bet my life on it that a current S-400 can't blow an F-35 out of the sky. And considering the Russian habit ob hiding or understating technology, in combination with old Soviet thinking stratagems like the "axe theory", I would say: good luck!

Not from technical perfection point of view, but it is much easier to improve existing codebases than just rewriting the world.

One of the things Rust should focus on as productivity improvement is making that migration as easy as possible.

Right now I cannot justify from business perspective replacing C++ with Rust on the workflows we still use C++ for.

In C, you only have char, short, int, long and long long (signed and unsigned). Other integer types like uint32_t and size_t are typedefs to those. If int is 64 bits and char is 8 bits, you have to choose if short is 16 or 32 bits, and other one won't exist at all.

long really should be 64 bits of 64-bit systems, and it is on Linux. Windows kept it at 32 bits to make porting existing code easier.
This is amazing! Wow, well done.

It's 2018 and web developers are still not competent enough to build simple websites (blogs, news, reddit) without forcing visitors to use JS.

JS is the technology responsible for most of the malware infections and spyware ad-tracking. It's not like people disable it just to piss off developers, there are very good reasons to turn it off.
My very first job after University was creating a large app in Ember. I had no modern Javascript experience but I was productive enough with it to build a pretty complex SPA with a lot of bells and whistles. So Ember has a fond place in my heart.

I think Ember is fading because it's just pretty different from other frameworks and there is a pretty big learning curve. But once you get up the curb you become super-productive and it's really nice.

It's a shame.
Weirdly enough, I just downvoted you because I disagree. Not sure what to deduce from that.
> I believe he means RAII. It makes it almost impossible to forget to release resources or rollback transaction.

This kind of pattern doesn't exist in a microkernel. I agree it might be useful in a monolothic kernel, but that's not the context here.

My anecdotal experience is that people can't wrap their heads around such an enormous, complete, shift in the way labour and capital will work.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it" - Upton Sinclair.

The few truck drivers I've spoken with all seem to think that autonomous trucks are going to arrive just after they retire. Similar stories come from nurses, fast food workers, and construction folks like drywallers. They all say "oh, that won't arrive for at least another 30 to 40 years!" I don't belabour the point because that just makes people fearful and angry.

In the USA there's a huge amount of people in depressed rural areas already. Their fear at being left behind by society has been manipulated into keeping the Republican party in power by various hatemongers. Now imagine the fear and anger they and many more will feel when 95% of the jobs disappear. What sort of person will rise up and lead this vast angry mob? How many of them will claim disability? Imagine 200 million people potentially starving and angry, many of them with firearms? (NB: I make no statement on the ethics of firearms!)

I am deeply worried about the era my teenage stepdaughter will live through.
Honestly it wouldn't take a lot of changes, but it wouldn't work because the people who make the laws are those with money. And there are many people who profit from this problem.

Then the wealthy spend their money convincing the public that the government shouldn't have to guarantee reasonably priced medical care because it would tax the wealthy out of the money they gained from this system. This is a pattern that repeats across a lot of issues that affect the poor. Look at overdrafts on bank accounts, mandatory prison sentences, for profit prisons, drug laws...

If history has taught us anything, it's that the wealthy/powerful will continue this cycle until they're getting decapitated on the streets in a few decades, rather than make minimal changes now to head off the problem, no pun intended.
I found the whole drilling on shadow accounts particularly humorous. He should have turned around and asked her what her credit score was.
What you're basically saying, I think, is that there shouldn't be any easy way for ordinary people to communicate directly with each other and organise politically. That it's too dangerous to allow them to do this without the press acting as gatekeepers first. That certainly does seem to be the underlying subtext of a lot of the recent criticism of Facebook. It's also an astounding line of thinking, because it basically says that it's politically unacceptable, even a danger to democracy, for ordinary people to actually have power and not just the illusion that they do.

(Edit: to be fair, I should probably add that the press wouldn't be the only powerful institution that has the ability to enable or gatekeep activism and organising, just one of the most important. The more fundamental difference is whether you need to have one of those powerful institutions backing your cause.)

Can somebody please summarize what has changed? Maybe I don't use Reddit enough, but I just refreshed one of the subreddits that I like, and I can't find a difference. Possibly a caching issue?
I don't think that's an unreasonable assumption. People already view Twitter as a source of news, no reason they wouldn't accept Reddit as a news media as well.
Actually it does, for anyone that cares about how to write portable and safe code in C.

There is this myth that C is a simple language, when devs stick to a single OS/compiler combo.
I'd be hesitant to read too much into this. When was the last time an Apple product had a slow start and then fizzled out. Those that start slow tend to pick up steam in due time, the latest being the Watch.

> Our industry is very much in need of a temporary visa program for the low-skilled, essential workers

I think this is interesting because I hear a lot about a shortage of tech workers and the consensus I hear is that there really isn't a shortage, employers need to pay more. Or they need to offer training.

But here is another industry facing labor shortages. Is it really a shortage? My impression of restaurant work is that the kitchen staff get paid less and work more than the wait staff and there is little room for advancement, other than starting your own restaurant.

> I think millennials are really focused on quality of life

Ha! As opposed to what? Working really hard for some reason?
> What's really needed is a societal change with how food is treated. Someone else mentioned a tax on sugar and processed foods, which could help. But another big step would be trying to teach students about nutritious food and living a healthy lifestyle. Of course, it's difficult if the school is the only place they see this, but I don't think it would hurt to have more outlets for healthy living in a student's life.

Why stop at measly taxation of consumption or teaching programs?

Let's progress and go further and simply be the Societal Parent by storing the children units in a controlled environment where they'll only receive information and norms deemed by teeming experts to be beneficial to them or everyone. We could call it the Hatchery and Conditioning Centre.
lobste.rs is more of a HN replacement, but there you go.
hello.com used to be owned by Google, too. It came with the Picasa acquisition. He probably just asked Larry for both. It's not as if he were a random employee. Somewhere on the Internet I saw that Google might own a stake (I'm a former Googler, but have no clue about any such arrangements).
They only ban subreddits as a reaction to them pulling negative publicity. Has to be offensive AND making noise for them to do anything.
Maybe there is a revenue-generator/paper clip factory engine running over there and they're just stalling while they try to figure out how to unplug it.
Bad engineering in 2018 is still bad engineering.

JS can be used to enhance the experience, and even build things otherwise impossible in the browser, and it's totally justified. But taking the newest, shinest web application framework and turning what's a tree of regular web documents into a web application, with data unaccessible if you don't run the entirety of its JS? That's just wrong.
That voat repo is not updated since december 2017. Is this still actively worked on, but in private, or did the devs abandon the project?
The problem is that our design tools are not good enough. Sketch combined with a handoff tool like Zeplin is lightyears ahead of Photoshop for web and app design, but fundamentally, at heart, it's a draw program. You make a page, draw a bunch of boxes and call it a website.

It's not. It's a page layout. But websites and apps aren't pages, they're dynamic systems built from interactive components with multiple states and screen sizes.

All visual web builders do is replicate traditional drawing tools, but output to HTML/CSS rather than Postscript or bitmaps. This is not enough, except for the most basic of brochure sites.

There's still a massive gap between designs and working code. Some things that are easy to do in Sketch are tough in code and vice versa - it's too easy to do things that become problems later. And because it's static images, it's not easy to show live data or interactions.

Prototyping tools like Framer and Flinto can help here, but again, it's never a true representation of what can actually be done in code.

For both layout and interaction, the developer has to recreate something that's already been created - it's an inefficient process, and one that go wrong unless the design team thoroughly understands the systems they're designing for and can know the consequences of their design decisions.

I've seen it happen many times where developers struggle to implement something that the designer did quickly without really thinking about. Not the designer's fault - just falling down the gap between design tools and medium. And not enough collaboration between the teams.

There is some really cool stuff on the horizon however. React, and the move towards component-based design and development is making this possible. But it's early days.

> There are also library types that enforce checking for errors, something currently impossible in C.

This is a weak form of checking for a kernel. L4 Hazelnut was written in C++ for this reason, but they didn't use it much, mirroring Shapiro's experience with EROS. And when they had to revise the kernel design to plug security holes and they wanted to formally verify its properties, they switched to C because C++ was too complex and left too much behaviour unspecified, and thus we got verified seL4 written in C.
The name says it all, Visual Studio C++ compiler.

There is no written rule that C++ compilers are obliged to be C compilers as well.

Again, as C++ compiler, they are only required to be as compatible with C code as ANSI C++ requires.

Oh I definitely agree investing in cycling infrastructure is still worth it. I'm very happy my city has many bike paths and a bike sharing system.

However, the reality for most Canadians is that above all we need public transport that can be used year round. Most Canadians don't live in B.C., and pretty much everywhere else we have harsh winters (yes, even in the south).
Ditto. It's still an open question how open and accessible to end users the Internet will be. Anything browser-based still has that potential. Well, except on iOS where the browser doesn't permit augmentation.
