Richmal Crompton's Just William stories had us all falling about on occasions. Richmal Crompton had no children but knew quite a bit about how small boys operate. She wrote the first story nearly 100 years ago but they remain popular for very good reason.
GUI development isn't broken, you're just trying to build a skyscraper with sand.
Weird. I'm usually a consumer and not a poster to Hacker News. Any idea why? Or what I could do to fix?
Because it requires developers who inherently need to have fairly decent academic qualifications (though not always) but often food maths, which costs in terms of bigger salaries
Like I said, it's like a bomb going off at ground zero. The pictures you link support that: notice how the damage is mostly near street level (from projectiles moving outwards from the crash site) rather than at the top of the building (from projectiles falling on the building).

Somehow I doubt that will result in less disagreement.

As with any asset you don't physically own, you are trusting that it exists. Digix is insured, and any token backed by a physical asset you would need to trust the organization that issued it. But this is not rocket science - these types of businesses and the industry surrounding them have existed for a long time. The innovation, if you believe it's innovative, is that the representation of the asset exists as an ERC20 token.
Everyone complaining about the state of UI development should give Dear Imgui (and similar immediate mode UIs) a whirl. It may not yet be the right solution for all types of UIs, but it makes creating UIs fun again and the productivity is astonishing.

Yes but short interest is still dwarfed by traditional long positions. All the money wrapped up into long positions can also drive press.
Thank you for this reply.

your repeated implicit argument that your leaderboard position alone

I am clearly miscommunicating something because my point is not that my (former) position on the leaderboard alone should open doors. My point is that my (former) position on the leaderboard should stand as proxy for community esteem and since I appear to be the highest ranked woman here, why can I not achieve what I am trying to achieve similar to what men at the top of the leaderboard are achieving? The top three people on the leaderboard have very clearly established professional connections here. Why is the top ranked woman so unable to establish the same?

It is also intended in a nutshell to suggest that it looks to me like sexism is a very large factor, because if the seemingly highest ranked female member here can't get a toehold, surely no woman is getting much out of the forum professionally on par with what men are able to achieve if they so desire and set it as a goal.

I apologize if this seems argumentative. In the good news column, I did get my taxes filed for free last night and using different software that asked different questions, I am due a refund instead of owing money. However, that isn't money in hand at the moment, so I am still having a larger than usual crisis.

But I very much appreciate your comment. It is one of the meatiest comments genuinely addressing my issues in this forum that I have ever seen and I expect to find it useful.
They can (and do) leave a voicemail.
They're both likely true.

Unions, conventional automobile companies, and the oil industry are all terrified of electric cars. EVs mean less jobs, less parts, longer renewal cycles, and of course removing inflexibility from oil demand. EVs threaten industries collectively totaling trillions of dollars and in some cases even double digit percentages of nations' GDPs. It's absurd and naive to think these industries would do nothing.

... but Tesla is a corporation, and corporations act in their self-interest. Corporations (and governments and other large entities too) routinely omit negative information, cook their numbers, ignore problems, over-reach, and generally push boundaries in their race for profit, power, and status. As good as Tesla's mission is, I don't necessarily expect it to behave better than a standard issue corporation.

Conventional auto industries only implemented safety in vehicles and in factories after being repeatedly whacked upside the head. They still don't hesitate to ignore safety overseas when they can get away with it, nor do they hesitate to destroy the economic well being of entire regions of the country to save a bit on short term costs or flout environmental regulations.

Tesla is new, so they'll probably need to get whacked around a bit too. But I still hope they are successful because their mission is good for humanity in the long term. Continued reliance on oil is an existential risk to the human race.
Sorry, but how often does that happen?

Yeah, this is just simple naivete. I do agree with the author's premise that "GUI development is broken" but certainly not because I can't rip out a "text editor" in a couple hours. Things that seem simple tend to have the worst problems.
It seems that F-35 still has problems but they are slightly different than described in the article. There is also neat solution, cut F-35 orders by third to pay for increased maintenance and operating costs. http://fortune.com/2018/03/28/air-force-f-35-cost-cuts/

The beauty of all this is that this works out fine as long as there is no large high intensity war against near peer opponent in next 20-30 years.

>> I think that misses the point. Since WASM is a compile target you don't need JS to achieve interop between different languages if they are all compiled to WASM

Really? Can you please point me to some documentation about this? I can't mange to find out how to use a wasm compiled library (compiled from C) in C#/mono project (which also compiles to wasm )
Definitely. The best thing StackOverflow taught me is that I don't need StackOverflow.

Sure there are some exceptional cases, such as when things just Will. Not. Work. when getting started with a new language/framework/whatever, but I learned to make use of documentation, Google, and StackOverflow's search in place of asking the internet to be my personal debugger.

I only ask a question as a last resort, and sure sometimes it gets flagged (oh no, the horror!), or people in the comments assume I don't know anything about anything (maybe, but I tend to know at least slightly more than they take me for). But as a whole, it's a very healthy community and I tend to learn something new with each visit I make.
I surely used the wrong term - I meant that the entire board consumes around 2W in idle/light workload.

I can't guarantee about the precision; 2W may be 1.5W or 2.5W on my tool (it doesn't have decimals), although, I've measured my XU4 consumption, and it's consistent with third party measurements (5W on idle).

> The most interesting use of the F35 is not as a weapons platform but a sensor platform for sneaking behind enemy lines and picking targets for ship based weapons platforms to attack at distance.

A $1.7 trillion supersonic, VTOL manned fighter as a remote sensor platform? Yeah, I don't think that's such a bright idea. That's exactly what stealth drones are for.
No no no! I am not your child’s parent! You are!

I will do my best to be your child’s teacher and teach them and be a positive influence in their life, but I am definitely not their parent.
If we ever face a non-nuclear conflict with a major power, say a sizable proxy war, our drone capabilities will be greatly diminished. Command and control would likely be knocked out with trivial effort through jamming.

That leaves two options: maintain a superior fleet of manned aircraft or develop drones with fully autonomous combat capability.
QML is amazing.

Every time I make a change in my QML based photo editor I marvel at how easy the toolkit has made it.
Of course not, because Apple, Google, Facebook et al have the resources to spend millions on attorneys to implement the GDPR. My comment comes from the perspective of an operator of several small sites that get a total of a few million visitors per month combined. I'm not spending millions on attorneys, and EU traffic is only incidental to my sites anyway, so I am indeed taking my ball and going home.

This will make a difference for some users on some of the forums I run, as they will be banned with an apology and an invitation to come back if they ever move out of the EU. But it's not worth taking on the liability of potentially millions of dollars in fines for accidental non-compliance with a heavy handed, massively complex law that is up for different interpretations in the courts of no less than 28 unique countries. Unless you're in the EU or are a multi-billion dollar company with a large legal department, accepting EU traffic post-GDPR is an act of insanity.
He wants his fine reduced? I believe it should be increased! This is taking a property used for the common good (the phone system) and abusing it in such a way that it becomes worthless. These sort of people need to be made an example of, lowering the fine would definitely be sending the wrong signal.
Because being the low-regulation option worked out well for Arizona and Uber...?
>The F-35 still has a long way to go before it will be ready for combat. That was the parting message of Dr. Michael Gilmore, the now-retired Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, in his last annual report.

Some F-35s have already seen combat for one.

Yes it's expensive but the per unit cost will be cheaper than already existing jet platforms and we plan to use this one for 50 years.

I have a friend that inherited a couple million at 25 and how he's handling it has really made me realize that it isn't the process of fast wealth that makes someone treat money responsibly. It's something deeper. Their "soul" or "core values" or something like that.

At 25 years old my friend took half of his money and he researched which Canadian Aboriginal tribes his grandfather and great-grandfather displaced with their logging industry and he directed his money to supporting their causes. He's just about finished his law degree and rather than use it to make money as a corporate lawyer or high priced attorney he's dedicating his career to helping refugees.

You're not wrong that it can hurt, but I don't think it is as much of a given as you're making it out to be.

I'm actually willing to give Tesla credit here precisely for that reason -- not because unions are bad (many industries need it, auto included), but because UAW in my possibly-misinformed mind has been at least indirectly the cause of a decline in build quality in American cars.

We're using a lot of drones. It's just not mainstream news.

"Cyber warfare" should be the #1 concern. An F-35 isn't going to prevent the power grid from going down.

The F-35 reflects a 20th century mindset. This is very troubling.
It is still releasing the same amount of heat, but diffused a bit more. The designers were trying to avoid really "bright" hot spots, to make it harder for IR-guided missiles to lock-on.
I do take protective measures against being hit by lightning. I don't take shelter under trees during a lightning storm - I do so in a building that has a working lightning rod.
Well... two of 3 of the languages you provided as example were designed to be transpiled to javascript. I doubt JS is a more suitable target for other languages than an IR like wasm which is being designed to be a compiler target.
What does "flagged to death" mean given that you can see them?

Even users who aren't logged in can see them so... I'm not really sure what the point is. Is it so the submitter knows they got flagged a lot?
Finite supply.
The rough idea is that you look at all the decisions made by the fraud model (sample 1 is fraud, sample 2 is not fraud) and the world of possible "predicates" ("feature 1 > x1", "feature 1 > x2", ..., "feature 10000 > z1," etc.) and try to find a collection of explanations (which are conjunctions of these predicates) that have high precision and recall over the fraud model's predictions. For example, if "feature X > X0 and feature Y < Y0" is true for 20% of all payments the fraud model thinks are fraudulent, and 95% of all payments matching those conditions are predicted by the fraud model to be fraud, that's a good "explanation" in terms of its recall and precision.

It's a little tough to talk about this in an HN comment but please feel free to shoot me an e-mail (mlm@stripe.com) if you'd like to talk more.
An armchair general viewpoint, but the relatively short range of modern fighters makes them of limited use beyond traditional dogfight. And it needs a LOT of support that is relatively cheap to compromise outside of your home fortress (and maybe even within it). The main role it can play is flying from a nearby base to suppress air force of a low capability adversary, but 1.5T is a steep tag for this. We should limit our losses.

But 64-bit is enough to represent essentially any value you might care to manipulate numerically, with rare exceptions such as cryptography. Given the constraints and trade-offs of real world computing, I suspect 128-bit will never become the norm.
"Proof" is a question for the legal system it has zero barring on if something is actually illegal. Otherwise the perfect crime would be legal.

"I will not engage in business with you if you employ that person." is a very vague statement that covers a huge range of situations. One specific case relates to the California’s Fair Housing and Employment Act (FEHA) and that really may legally require someone to ignore past criminal behavior depending on specifics. EX: Lack of conviction. In that situation you could quit your job on the spot, but that's about it.

A wider issue is 'tortious interference' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortious_interference If person A is employed by company B they have a contract. Trying to get someone fired is unequivocally "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when one person intentionally damages someone else's contractual or business relationships with a third party causing economic harm"

Now, you might not like those examples, but I think I am well past the bar for on online discussion.
There’s a bunch of uses of wasm outside the browser. I’m personally not a huge fan of crypto currencies, but Etherium is looking to use it as a language for smart contracts, for example. Just like any small language, you can embed the interpreter into whatever and use it for scripting; the spec is written so that this is pretty easy.

That said, none of this means “replacing” JavaScript, no matter what the parent says. It’s a non-goal.

It's getting to the point of being trivial to jam a drone - and you do that, it's no longer under your control.

Harder to jam a human sitting in a plane.
"Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows.

Seems to me that the strategic question is 'What is the cheapest means of attacking an F-35?'

Attacking ALIS. Or denying the maintenance regime - you could ground the RAF easily simply by knowing that they have to do engine maintenance on the opposite side of NATO in Turkey. That’s a long way to go for repairs if you’ve got no air superiority. Block that and just wait...

This might be true about F-22 (or not), but F-35 does not have much of latest tech as countries are suspicious of sharing cutting edge military tech on a multinational project.
I believe you are wrong. WASM has a text version and nothing stops you from using the DOM or the web APIs (given that wasm gets an API). What exactly is the black box? You can use OpenGL in javascript too if that's what you mean by "black box". You can't do anything new in wasm than in JS except you get better performance and more options (language wise).
>miraculous

Yes, miraculous is precisely the right word. 128 bytes of memory. BYTES! Or as the article's author so beautifully frames it : "the RAM can't hold a full Tweet". And that's just the RAM; CPU is similarly limited.
"half the CPU time is spent Racing The Beam" meaning "half the time is spent tracing video ram to module the Cathode Ray Tube electron beam to generate the video output."

The last catastrophic war took place less than 90 years ago. In addition, the developed world has been "at peace" for only about 40 years (end of Cold War => MAD).

These are but rounding errors in the ~5000 year history of advanced civilization.
The problem for the F-35 is that all that advanced tech is not working properly and may never work as well as originally imagined. Meanwhile, adversaries already have aircraft that are faster, have longer range, and are more maneuverable, not to mention air defense networks.

As long as the F-35's principal advantage of being somewhat stealthy holds up it will be fine against opposing air forces and AAD's. But if that advantage is sufficiently whittled away it could find itself outgunned and outclassed.
It doesn't apply to him because it's not a true statement.
