The "don't break the web" excuse is the same old bad-faith nonsense:

1. The number of websites using the old version of Mootools is vanishingly remote, relative to the number of existing websites not using it, and the number of as-yet-unmade websites who will also not use it (but who will be harmed by the committee's dedication to retarding the development of the language).

2. Of those websites using this old version of Mootools, the number that use flatten, and do so in a way that would definitely be broken by the introduction of standardised "flatten", and wouldn't be fixed thereafter is, statistically speaking, zero.

3. Most of the same people who are affecting concern about backwards compatibility in the case of the web work for tech giants who regularly retire products and APIs that are relied upon by thousands of people, and make backwards incompatible changes to their operating systems that break masses of unmaintained apps.

But the fact is, you can't make arguments like this to groups like the TC39 and expect to even get a hearing. Despite their occasional spiel about seeking outsider feedback they are, like any institution, happy in their long-settled groupthink positions, and reflexively frightened and dismissive of any challenge or criticism by outsiders.

You saw this when the whole "smoosh" affair first broke. There was a long, passionate, but civilised debate about it on GitHub (https://github.com/tc39/proposal-flatMap/pull/56 ) which was abruptly cut off by a TC39 committee member, who locked out non-contributors entirely, with the dishonest claim that things had become "too heated". What he really couldn't stand was the sight of the committee's dogma being challenged.

Remember that next time the representative of a standards body whines about lack of participation in the process by regular web developers. It's a lie. These groups are only interested in the opinion of outsiders if they align with a set of fixed and unchallengeable precepts, and they will revert to depressingly familiar suppression of speech the moment it looks like things aren't going their way.
The entire move is a stepping stone in learning the technology, which makes sense to me. The question on my mind is if this gives them access to VW AG, which would include Audi, Porsche, and what I place my bet/hope on: Bentley. Because I doubt that shipping employees around campus in vans is their long-term goal here.

All those arguments do make sense, but only if the underlying cryptocurrency is actually big enough. That it has enough hashpower (in whatever algorithm) - to be secure. Bitcoin Gold simply was too small.

Internally, both foobar2000 and Chrome/Electron use ffmpeg for audio processing and codec support. The web audio api allows for writing all sorts of equalizers and audio processing effects.

Extensions and query and library management can be coded in JS easily, like VSCode, Hyper and others do.

Electron frontend communicating with foobar2000 sdk for every little interaction will lead to a huge mess of performance and latency issues. It's better to rebuild the whole thing in electron instead.

The first comment I saw when I came in to the post start off:

"Title using 'very large' does not come from the article, which gives a more subtle image:"

which sounds to me like someone taking offense to the title?
I'd rephrase that as "Only one of these things is going to still exist in 15 years" makes right.
The advertising is clearly deceptive. Read their marketing materials:[1]

"Build upon Enhanced Autopilot and order Full Self-Driving Capability on your Tesla. ... All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go. If you don’t say anything, the car will look at your calendar and take you there as the assumed destination or just home if nothing is on the calendar. Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigate urban streets (even without lane markings), manage complex intersections with traffic lights, stop signs and roundabouts, and handle densely packed freeways with cars moving at high speed. When you arrive at your destination, simply step out at the entrance and your car will enter park seek mode, automatically search for a spot and park itself. A tap on your phone summons it back to you."

Tesla does not have that technology. Not even close. Their cars do not have the sensor suite to do it. They did a demo back in 2016 of a limited self-driving capability on quiet roads in Los Altos Hills. They haven't said much since.

You are not necessarily disagreeing with what I wrote about correlation, that humans are predictable in aggregate, which is the opposite of your point that humans are random (in aggregate).

The text you quoted is disagreeing with the author with respect to the use of correlations to explain causality, which we both know will lead nowhere if all confounding variables are not properly accounted for; something which is infeasible to do in the real world.
xargs is one of my favorites, it's so easy to split something apart to speed it up by a few multiples.

gotta SSH into 100 machines and ask them all a simple question? xargs will trivially speed that up by at least 10x, if not better, just by parallelizing the SSH handshakes.
I have seen a couple people suggesting the solution that reassigning a non-enumerable property should make it enumerable. Does anyone here have any insight on why they didn't go with that solution?
TBH Google navigation sucks in recent years. No, I'm not going to take dirt road shortcut while driving on highways is supposed to be 10min longer. If locals speed on that dirt road in their AWD vehicles, that doesn't mean I'll do 70km/h on unknown dirt road in a small FWD car.

It got to the point that I'm double-checking all Gmaps directions on other services. And if I know area well enough, I don't need Gmaps at all..
Factorio has to my knowledge a pretty neat modding API internally.
I've heard this so often, especially from my boss - whoever this is. I come to the conclusion this is just a lame excuse because the people feel out of control and overwhelmed when using this kind of software. It is heavily Java based and to those who never touched javac, the Stack traces must look both intimidating and ridiculous.

On the other hand, processing data over several steps with a homegrown solution needs a lot of programming discipline and reasoning, otherwise your software turns into an unmaintainable and unreliable mess. In fact this is the case where I work right now...
You're absolutely right. Yeah, I've been working on this for 6 months and everything is in my head and it's super hard for a developer like me to express the idea in a simple way.

I've made changes according to your suggestion. Hope it is better than before.
Thank you very much
That is a really insightful comment. I will keep the anecdata in mind.
So we all get to decide how all the resources are spent? I am concerned that the desire to deem certain energy spending as unethical can lead us down a creepy path of authoritarianism.
If Tesla refused to cut the power but required the work to be done anyway, it's absolutely their fault.
No it's not. It's a good game but has loads of flaws.

For example, you just spent the last 30 turns building a powerful ancient wonder. It's ready next turn! Oops, the computer builds that ancient wonder the turn before you do, you get nothing.

How's that well thought through? It's an extremely bad game mechanic, un-fun in the worst possible way. You have no visibility of the race. The old games at least let you switch to your 2nd choice or another building.

Also, generally speaking, the happiness mechanic sucks. It's such an unintuitive way of stopping people growing too fast. It's supposed to make a choice between lots of small cities Vs a few big ones, but it's only fun for a few big ones. So if you enjoy actually expanding and finding new places to put cities, it's not as good as the old games.

Also the entire city states mechanic is tedious.

As for the chess anecdote, the AI is bad, they give it massive bonuses, so it's like playing chess where you start with half the pieces of your opponent. This sucks a lot of the fun out of the game, as you get little opportunity to make wonders or other things early game as the computer simply brute forces past you.
That is... wow... it totally deserves the "nightmare" tag. Thanks for sharing!

Right. It would have fixed this “flatten” issue, if the versioning change were done first, because those old sites wouldn’t have picked up the new “flatten” method. It would be opt-in.
^ the moment you do anything even slightly non-trivial with sed, abandon it and use perl instead. for even simple regexes with a couple non-"match this char" segments I regularly see almost 100x speedup, it's rather crazy. it's also a LOT more portable in my experience because the regex engine is so much more capable and consistent, even across fairly major perl versions.

The height of the average male (178cm) is more than one standard deviation (8.9cm) above the height of the average female (165.1cm).

I don't really know if we should be surprised that the differences between male and female brain volumes are also statistically significant and larger than one standard deviation.
that's if you're stuck on the idea of beating a game of skill. if you need that idea, then you have to be able to beat pacman, and so you feed quarters to get to the game ending bug. if you dispense with that idea then you play for your best score, and feeding quarters to get to the kill screen becomes a waste of time.

Ok, I forgot Symbol, so you were correct.
Given normal circumstance(no mental illness etc), kids get bored by those devices too, as with information and learning. They adapt and learn how to use the tools to meet their will.

I think the magic ingrediences here is love, hugs, attention (when they seek it) and time is what truly matters. That will guide down the slippery slope they will take regardless. If the kids want to play, learn from it and can let it go without having problem with it, it should ok.

Anyway it's something they need to learn since most things in life will be tied to electronic devices.

What. If your ISP is not terrible, it just takes a route advertisement to switch the same IP address between networks. And route the same subnet through multiple networks.
There is no need for OSPF, RA is good enough. The ISP just has to not filter them out and forward into routing.
(You will have to inform them that you use a specific separate subnet on your network. This means typically a business contract.)
Good point, but if Antarctica weren't protected by very strict environmental policies, there might be a lot more people there exploiting the resources.

Most of those sorts of things are done on live kit. There are procedures and equipment that reduce the risk to virtually nothing. Which weren’t used clearly.
Being in the same stage as the OP, I highly second this comment. I have been working on something for last 19 months. It is nearly complete, but still finding it difficult to wrap up somehow. Your comment has given me some insight and some closure.

"use no-moo";
I don't own one, but I wish these speakers were smart enough to recognize their owner's voice. The number of podcasts I listen to where the hosts have banned saying "Alexa" and "Hey Google" is silly. They say it then apologize, or use Echo or say Hey G instead. It seems like something of a security flaw to me, as if websites had to avoid having "rm" on them in case it triggered file removal.
It is risky, but it is right, that's exactly why took a while to happen. A relatively small botnet can overtake many smaller coins in hash power in no time, that's the hypothesis where I'd put the money.
I agree, and it’s nice to have new content/fixes, it just creates anxiety/frustration and leads to not turning it on, which defeats the purpose of having it. Circular rant, first world problem I know
There was a change in the way social conflict is handled. The late-XIX century way was making a city like Paris have wide, straight avenues and "pour la canaille la mitraille" - a straight military approach to class warfare.

The late-XX century is on the side of psych-warfare and pouring oil on troubled waters, i.e. buying peace on a piecemeal basis. It's right out on Wolfe's first paragraph: "They knew you were the right studs to give the poverty grants and community organizing jobs to."

(I was going to quote that originally, but forty years brought that line too close to today's reality bone ...)
The Apple Maps location search experience has improved hugely in the last several years, at least here in the UK.

It's still not quite up there with Google Map's location knowledge, but it's certainly not the often-innacurate mess it once was.

The big difference I see now days comes down to how quickly the data is updated. To test this, take a newly opened (or closed) restaurant or store and compare Apple and Google's knowledge of the location.

Google tends to have it almost immediately, presumably because Google provides tools for the business owners to enter the information directly. But Apple's knowledge can lag behind by a few weeks, or more for more obscure things. This is presumably due to their dependence on third-party data providers like Yelp.
Nighthawk looks very nice!

However, I found out that for me tui is where it's at for music players. Using cmus combined with a drop down terminal such as tilda or a tiling windows manager is the most comfortable i've been with music players.
The article itself is not so much interesting to me that the reactions to it on HN. The articles says nothing on how these differences translate into psychological traits/abilities etc. Nevertheless, even a hint that there might be differences, and that they're might be quite pronounced, somehow cannot be a subject of civilized discussion on HN and people will flag it straight away. Why? What are you afraid of? Understanding these results might help us to understand ourselves better. Or do you prefer not to have such research in the name of political correctness?
It's not slavery. As the sub-contractor, it's your responsibility to contract to provide services under conditions that are safe and sustainable. In the restaurant example, don't offer a 30 minute service guarantee if you can't achieve it safely, or, know that on occasion you're going to have to pay out when you fail.

The sucky bit is being the employee of the scummy sub-contractor who promises more than they can deliver, and expects their staff to do bullshit like this to make it up.

In North America yes, in Europe it never really took off outside the first level countries.

I only touch Apple devices for iOS development, and they are shared as part of a company pool.

Regulating Sunlight (2014)
The way most safety regulations work is based on due diligence, did Tesla do what a _responsible_ company would do? Did they review training from contractors, do an investigation and come up with a solution to the issue? From solely the article it seems like they didn't and someone in the chain of command needs to realize how safety works.
The right way to burn $2000 on a PC case
Depends on what you're targeting. For raw computation, Go's similar and sometimes noticeably faster, even after hotspot has its turn. For garbage collection pause time, Go's rather amazing, typically measuring less than a millisecond even for gigabytes of heap mem[1]. For bin startup time (e.g. for a CLI tool) try Go instead just because it'll be done way before the JVM even hands control to your code.

For dev tools, oh hell yes. Stick to Java. Go comes with some nice ones out-of-the-box which is always appreciated, but the ecosystem of stuff for Java is among the very best, and even the standard "basic" stuff vastly out-does Go's builtins.

Good point! A boring task would definitely free up some of that brain processing.

He could pretty much do it with his eyes closed, as he’s been doing it for so long. Not to mention he’s just damn good at his job.

I guess it all depends on how much of your personal processor you can spare for your current task.
