If you fork an existing rendering engine, you're rather implicitly using a WHATWG DOM. In order to use W3C DOM 4.1, you'd either have to modify a WHATWG DOM renderer into a W3C DOM 4.1 renderer -- which is a bit like starting with the emacs source to build a vim clone -- or to build your own. The inertia of forking an existing project pushes you towards the WHATWG implementation, not W3C. That's the point of forking. You get to preserve the forking.

Further, the W3C's argument historically has been to make the DOM easier to implement from the ground up (XHTML strict) compared to the overall rats nest of HTML5, which, as far as I'm aware, still is not fully supported anywhere [1] and is very loose about document structure errors etc. So, if you're planning to implement the W3C's DOM, it makes sense that you're agreeing at least somewhat with the W3C's historical philosophy about what the web should look like and how it should behave, so you're more likely to be concerned about the implementation difficulty of HTML5.

My wife and I visited the Mayo Clinic this year, and I was surprised and relieved that they had a giant PDF file of every service they offer (which is a lot) and the associated price. I don't understand why all hospitals don't have this. The price we ended up paying, since it wasn't covered by insurance, is basically exactly what it said on the pricing sheet.
It depends on what you want to compare. If it's performance at a certain price point, you select systems at that point. You can compare on performance per watt or per volume or more abstract comparisons (ideally unbound by price or size) of performance per core, socket or thread at various load factors.

I can think of a number of crimes, which are pretty much irrelevant for a character assessment.
If felons were truly forgiven, they would have their right to vote restored.

I have always thought that was outrageous. I think people should be aloud to vote even while they're in jail. The current system could allow a group to wipe out their political opponents by simply passing a law outlawing a common activity, then selectively enforcing it. I mean that's basically what the war on drugs was about.
I agree that it’s backwards but it’s not realistic to expect that from now on people will act rationally and not dismiss without a chance for an explanation a perfectly capable coder, Mark the Javascript developer, simply because his crime ended up in the news.

News doesn’t cover all the criminals even if they are convicted. For the most part, It’s an entertainment and the editorial process can make Mark unemployable because his crime brought a lot of ad impressions but the wife beater never ended up on the news because wasn’t shocking or interesting enough.
Unbounce: Zombies are attacking our servers
Yes, it's almost certain it will be interpreted more leniently. At least to start with.

Elizabeth Denham, UK's information commissioner in charge of data protection enforcement, had this to say:

"Having larger fines is useful but I think fundamentally what I'm saying is it's scaremongering to suggest that we're going to be making early examples of organisations that breach the law or that fining a top whack is going to become the norm. Our office will be more lenient on companies that have shown awareness of the GDPR and tried to implement it, when compared to those that haven't made any effort."

In reality, nobody knows how GDPR will pan out exactly (including the authorities).
Our media isn't propaganda, because it doesn't fit the definition. Propaganda is slanted views that are approved or promulgated by the reigning regime in a country. The news in the US simply isn't like that: just look at how anti-Trump most of it is (not saying this is a bad thing). Propagandized media is where the news media is really nothing more than a mouthpiece for the current regime, as you see in China and Russia, and doesn't air views contradictory to that regime.

This isn't to say that our media is completely neutral. No media really is. But it doesn't represent our current government, it represents the interests of its owners, who have different interests than our current leaders, and are frequently at odds with them. And of course, we have multiple media outlets, who frequently disagree with each other, a good example being Fox News.

Sort of. If I let my kid watch Peppa Pig on the TV, I can be reasonably assured that it won't suddenly take a turn (while I'm in the next room washing dishes) into Peppa Pig having sex with Barney just before they're both ground up into sausage.

The same isn't true on YouTube.

Neither is connecting people to cook food for each other. If your tinder date cooks you breakfast, has anyone run afoul of food safety laws?

You can't be a food distributor if you're not distributing food. I've gone to our local small business seminars for food service, and I've been told that as long as you're not handling food at any point, you can't be held responsible.
Not if that < had slipped in because it was in a piece of static text in a string somewhere in the source code.

You can apply mandatory quoting to untrusted input all you want, but there are going to be times when you have trusted strings that can still contain stray characters that will make the resulting markup invalid. And in many cases you don't want to have mandatory quoting for all of that, because these strings may have markup you want to include.

And yeah, you can argue that instead of generating content by appending strings, you should be building up a proper type-safe DOM structure that can be serialized. I'll wait while you go boil the ocean of converting every single web application framework that exists now outside of a couple of obscure type-safe functional programming frameworks, and in the meantime I'll be able to browse the real web without every other page giving me validation errors.
This is a really great example of how powerful, and useful, static site technology is for the web.

Open-data is a huge talking point right now, especially with the [GDPR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula...) regulations coming out this year, the discussion around social media and other factors effecting our electoral process, and much more.

Static site generators like Hugo make it trivial for almost anyone to author and share data in open-formats, applying powerful filtering and control over what pieces of your datasets are made available.
Where's the smart contract that collected those funds? I'm really skeptical about that $660M number.

Filecoin raised $257M and they had the support of a bunch of VCs, top crypto funds, smart crypto whales, and thousands of supporters around the world.

$660M for a coin no one has heard of? Doesn't add up.
In that case it was even more serious. Like the PPUs of the Cell processors, each core runs one instruction every other cycle. If you have only one thread, you effectively have half the throughput.
It's a long game, adding surveillance. Surely more surveillance would not have prevented this senseless murder. No one knows why it happened; it seems to have occurred without any reason. We can surmise momentary insanity or a drug-induced psychotic episode. The apparent perpetrator refuses to confess, so maybe he doesn't even remember how it happened, though obviously he remembers scrubbing the car.

But CCTV footage wouldn't have stopped this madness.
It would have helped find her body a little more quickly.

In the long term, I guess surveillance would discourage violent crime, as the idea that "they'll see us, the police will catch us" gradually becomes well accepted among people who have the potential to commit crimes. This is probably already true in London, and maybe in other closely-surveilled capital cities.

But even if everyone sane shares the knowledge that "they're watching us", psychotic actors will still do psychotic things.
They are talking about things like generics. Considering the years it took for a team of people to build Go, I think it’s fair to assume they didn’t just forget about generics and that it was an intentional decision.

Flexbox and Grid coming from different companies isn't really relevant (and, to note, Flexbox comes from Mozilla originally, if I'm not mistaken, it is ultimately based on parts of XUL).

They're also not competing: flexbox makes many 1D layouts easier than grid does. They're complementary, not conflicting.

Yes, buffered channels should almost never be used for performance reasons.

Buffered channels should be used for their semantics, but in general unbuffered channels are preferred to buffered channels if possible because buffered channels cause combinatorial explosion of state, and are hard to reason about accurately.

it is my understanding that the bad C++ compilation speed is one of the reasons behind Go's inception.

Go has a GC because its creators thought they needed one to support concurrency.
yes there is. When you don't get a RST back at the expected time (say *2), you know SYN was dropped. Are you arguing that it could be packet loss? You address that by taking multiple samples, and by comparing against loss to ports that you get ACK back from.
That's not a bad idea, but it'd mean you'd need to subscribe to HN, Reddit, etc., because WSJ and other paywall publishers are going to want to get their money from somewhere. But I guess it's possible that sites like HN could institute an optional subscription system where you can pay a monthly subscription fee and then that's used to subscribe to these news sites through a special deal for linked articles.
I think one of the reasons Go is so good at being simple (relatively) - is that each feature required no other option available in order to make it into the language. I forget the article I read this from, so I may have the semantics slightly off.

With just rsc we lose a little of this. There are many other incredibly talented engineers involved such as Ian Lance Taylor. I'm interested if this philosophy will still be important in the future.
For the opposite effect, see legalization of marijuana. It was never fully removed from the (black) market while illegal, but since legalization easy access has meant usage has dramatically increased.

I try to read one of these on the major paths I'm not on. It's answering the question, "should I build my next project in what I know, or checking something new out?"

Seeing these for Go, Rust, Elixir, Elm, and others let me narrow it down before spending the 4-8 hours to figure out if it works for my brain and use case. (For example, seeing this tells me that Go is bad for the things I want to build because my brain works in types and good error checking.)

I'd prefer more of these, frankly.
This is a weird question - I think you are trying to point out that the employer/employee relationship is not equal.

This is true. The employer always takes a much greater risk to hire you than you take to work there.

It is interesting that the article states that Iceland's conclusion from this case (and probably others) is "more surveillance." They don't mention if the autopsy revealed when during the course of these events the girl died. Would more surveillance have prevented her death? Or is the argument that it would serve as a deterrent? It seems remarkable that despite a perceived lack of sufficient surveillance, they have an extremely likely killer convicted, who if not guilty of murder, is most likely otherwise culpable for her death. He was caught on CCTV buying the cleaning equipment for the car, for example. Surely if CCTV is to serve as a deterrent, he would not be caught doing something so... obvious?
True in case law vs. advise for a private company to make hiring decisions?

Not at all the same thing. Actions have consequences, and we can't force companies to hire people they see as unsafe.
So, if you're building your infrastructure in a way that you need to access a separate datastore to discover which individual is linked to which event in a stream. Then, leaving the stream of event as it is, but removing all referred keys in the joined datastore would be "GDPR-compliant"?
There is a subtle difference in that the Obama campaign obtained consent from the friend who volunteered their subgraph to use that data for political purposes, whereas Cambridge Analytica’s academic sources obtained no such consent from anyone. One could argue that the distinction is less meaningful as Obama’s usage was not very well informed consent. But it’s a distinction nonetheless. And beyond that, Facebook has no incentive to expand the scope of their PR problem by advertising this lesser known fact.

As the tweet cites, Facebook was politically biased in a specific enforcement action in the past. That does not itself indicate that there is any political reasoning behind the decision not to release an Obama tool today.

When Siri first came out I wondered if it would be able to improve upon the voice macros that were built into MacOS for years.

Turns out the answer was no. Worse, you can't even get a list of everything Siri knows how to do, so you have to guess and hope she doesn't just stick the query into Google again. So she's only useful for demos and for the two or three things you remember she can do. Apple never even gave us a way to define our own macros. There should have been a whole section on the app store for Siri macros you could install for various interests. She can't even launch apps! It's so ridiculous.

You should checkout https://privnote.com/#

Basically if I send you a message using it, I have deniability. Screen shot all you want, I can simply say I never sent it. If we do go to court over something sent -- you will end up showing a screen shot or a copy and pasted text file. Those will be tough to support in court. Have fun going after an Uruguay tech company for deleted data.

This is different with standard email. A subpoena sent to gmail will reveal ip addresses (sender and receiver), what time it was sent, the fact that you logged in with account 9328439, the fact I logged in with account 298238, someone from google testifying it was sent and read, on and on.

I don't know what google is trying to do -- but what privnote did is really useful and an obvious win.

What about at 18? 19? Why 30s?

You say you disagree, but even the parent suggests as much: "But it does mean that, for the first while at least,"

That's what I take their meaning as. That after you commit a crime, you have to prove yourself again, and that takes time. It's why you suggest 30s, and not 18. For a while after their crime, it would make sense to exclude someone.

On top of that, why so late? Why are you forcing your view that 30s is the earliest someone can trust someone again? Why not 18? Why can't a citizen decide to trust someone earlier than some arbitrary number?
In part, I think it's because there is still good work that goes on under the W3C umbrella in other areas; the CSS working group has managed to stay reasonable, learn from the mistakes of some over-engineered past standards, and continues to work with implementers.

Also, there are reasons to want some of what the W3C provides that the WHATWG doesn't. The W3C has many more member companies, and it can get them to sign off on patent rights so there's less likelihood of some one of Adobe's patents on page layout in InDesign suddenly being infringed by web browsers due to something in the spec.

And finally, I think that the W3C wants to stay relevant and so it keeps on trying to work from a basis on the WHATWG spec, and promising it will be good this time, and then it goes off and pulls this stuff again.

In addition, something like this could also create internationalized video content very quickly.
