That's like saying you don't need static typing if you just write better code.

The primary reason to use other languages is not to avoid Javascript, but to use better tools. I use Elm because it has built-in immutability (JS doesn't), a statically-typed ecosystem (JS' is bolted on in a side channel), a single architecture pattern (vs JS' redux/flux/react/angular/etc).

By the time you get static typing, immutability, and an architecture set up in Javascript, you may have taken on a bunch of libraries / moving parts that are more complex that using a different language that comes with all of that out of the box.

Saying I'm just trying to avoid Javascript suggests misunderstanding.

That article sounds too much as an article paid to be written by some company, organization or person who profits from fossil fuels, thus having an incentive to discredit or slow down anything which can put at risk their source of income.
I've tried to use PatteryFly a few times, it's actually a pretty terrible system. the biggest drawback is the lack of documentation...as you click through what they call documentation it's full of missing content and 404's. Personally, it's just better to use adminLTE or Twitter Bootstrap.

With the exception of RHEL, it's just like most of Red Hat's products...purchased from someone else, half-baked, and a rather pathetic attempt to stay relevant. It seems that the only support is from internal RH devs and if you look at a lot of Red Hat's other products, even they can't really figure out how to use it (see ManageIQ).
People who say this, do you realize that if the market were left to its own devices cars would still be deathtraps without seatbelts?

The market isn’t magic, and the market we actually have is far from free.
Movie theatres probably have high fixed costs and a low variable costs. As such it can be in their best interest to drive up utilisation, even if the revenue per customer per film seen goes down.
I'm an old C++ programmer who's had the pleasure of doing an XP codebase and I would pick Go any day of the week over the early-aughts C++ I remember working in --- but I concede this may have gotten better since then.

While I don't think he was trying to say Go solves every real problem (rather, just that the subset of problems Go solves are all practical and not theoretical), it would be constructive if you could take the time to list the problems you think Go is bad at solving, and why.

I'll probably agree, but I may also learn something, and I'll definitely learn more about where you're coming from.

I'm with you. Red Hat is trying to stay relevant, but it seems that their management has no idea what is going on...or what to do outside of RHEL.
First of all, where are you located? Can this be enforced at all? What would happen if you just ignored?

Second, don’t you have a month to respond?

Third, aren’t you allowed to charge a reasonable fee? I suspect 99% of these requests go away if you charge $50, which seems reasonable if it takes someone more than 15 mins to respond.

Fourth, how do you validate the identity of the requester? Email addresses can be spoofed, so that’s not sufficient. Can you make them jump through another hoop to prove who they are?

I think my approach (if I wasn’t going to just ignore) would be to to spend the next month to prepare a form letter to match theirs that’s as vague and non-specific as the law allows, and then just be able to plug in a few pieces of info for that specific user, if needed. And then I’d charge them a fee AND make them verify their identity somehow. I think 99.99% of them would go away. And yes, they’ll file complaints. Which puts me right back at: if I wasn’t in the EU, I’d just ignore this and point them to my privacy policy.
Interesting, thanks for the link.

I know it seems dumb but the preposterousness of that scene ruined the episode for me. I've played too much KSP :D
Learning is used in more general ways. Buildings learn, according to Stewart Brand. Evolution learns. Populations learn. Police forces learn techniques for dealing with new types of crime. Criminal gangs learn new ways to evade the police. Physics has learned from chemistry, and vice versa. etc., etc.
Not true. Product liability lawsuits have been around for ages. It's just that the tech industry has been able to escape them, by and large. I think one of the greater injustices in business was Microsoft's avoidance of a lawsuit from their spate of windows malware from roughly 2003-2010. They just sat on their hands and let for-profit A/V companies and nonprofit volunteers secure their platform, while consumers lost millions of hours and billions of dollars to simply be able to use their computers again after being rooted by 4 lines of JavaScript
I'm fortunate to have been around long enough to observe the "swinging bias" of Wikipedia. In 2008 the conservatives complianed that it was too liberal, but over time I've seen articles wander pretty far in every direction. I still think this is an advantage, though: if your entire reality is a specific classical news source it will seem unbiased and universal because your universe will be exactly it. Whereas if you mostly read Wikipedia then you will see the bias because the center of mass of an article today might not be its center of mass tomorrow.
To demonstrate the way it blinds people to options:

What you mean is running 3rd party ads via ad networks.

It's perfectly feasible to show an image that links to some advertiser's site for a negotiated fee. This is the equivalent of a paper magazine with advertisements. Not renting out injection points to executing whatever foreign code on their visitor's devices.

My ad blocker won't even block it (well not by default, and only as long as you play nice, it's not like online advertising has any goodwill left over, or ever acted to deserve it).
Car makers have been held liable for the lack of intentionally designed safety features

There’s plenty of precedent

I think lack of safety features that meet our current common knowledge of the potential failure scenarios should be enough to shut down a company

We can refuse to enable commerce that jeopardizes or personal safety (literal or ephemeral data theft)

> I would guess that with antibiotics, meat production can be like 20% more efficient, maybe somewhat more.

But at great cost. The farmer makes more short-term profit, while offloading the externality of dealing with the consequences (breeding antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria) to the future[1] or just someone else entirely[2]. Are these costs really worth it for you to get cheap cuts of meat at the grocery store, or to ensure that the farmer makes more money (or remains profitable at all[3])?

[1] Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria make cattle farming impossible.

[2] Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria enter the general human population generating a significant health crisis.

[3] If the livestock industry can't stay afloat without these low-dose antibiotics, then maybe they should either charge more (meat becomes a luxury item), or they should just end livestock farming altogether. The production of meat isn't as essential to the functioning of society as people think. It's definitely not worth the risk of creating a health crisis just because "the meat must flow."
This 2011 chart shows antibiotic use in livestock in countries around the world, including New Zealand, the US and the EU. The use of antibiotics varies hugely between countries. If anyone has more recent figures, please post:

In other words, you are one of those people who uses the "I have nothing to hide" argument in favor of rampant personal data collection.
Are you seriously proposing that regulations move forward without an understanding of their impacts?

No matter what the ultimate decision is, no matter how sensitive the subject matter, impact studies are critical to making smart decisions.
Why exactly would you want it to stick around if it can't sustain itself without selling my personal data to shady 3rd party ad networks?

> All one is left with is pure thought fueled by memory

> Pure thought lacks space..lacks sense of self.

I think this is stretching the definition of 'thought' past the point of meaninglessness. If you remove all interaction with the rest of the universe, any closed system will still have self-interaction.

And if you take it to the extreme, any collection of matter can be seen to 'compute' some function.

Which one of those systems 'thinks'? All of them? Every sub-system of every system?
Because of SGIP[1], you can basically get a powerwall for free right now in CA depending on the circumstances. However, the requirements for the program all but guarantees it will use up the life of your storage system.

Tesla's powerwall at least allows you to do things like set reserve levels to 15% or 30% to make sure you're not cycling your battery too aggressively, but if you don't meet the required 57 full discharges a year they'll disable features like this automatically. In other words you own it, but you don't control it.

The article links to another article in the fourth paragraph. The use of the word seem implies we don't exactly know why.

"That’s because decades of agricultural research has shown that antibiotics seem to flip a switch in young animals’ bodies, helping them pack on pounds. Manufacturers brag about the miraculous effects of feeding antibiotics to chicks and nursing calves."

The above raises the question, do antibotics increase the BMI of human children long-term ? According to this article[1] the answer is yes.

If if/else is an expression, what would be the return type of `if (true) { 42 }`?
Or you could just point them to your privacy policy and then just ignore them if you’re not in the EU. They’re clearly just trolling to damage you.

The irony here is that the OP is one of the ones who put in the hard work to comply with the GDPR, and yet they’re one of the first being attacked. And is worrying about what to do. Meanwhile the truly bad actors have ignored the GDPR and would ignore this letter, and that’s the end of it. Perhaps OP thought that bowing to this law would appease the trolls, but nope. Like many poorly thought-out and hard to enforce laws, this will harm the law-abiding while the people it was aimed at skate free. What a shock.

€400 for a year (€33/month) and you have to pay it upfront.

I would probably go for it if I had to, but that’s close to my personal limit of what I’m willing to pay. Especially the whole prepaid aspect is a bit hard to swallow. (Since I have my UCI Unlimited Card now for more than a year I can cancel it monthly.)
JS has tagged template literals. I think they're still underused.
Are you talking about Reactive Native? Sounds good on paper, but it's just as fast or slow as a browser because it is a browser, and is far from creating a native app experience on either iOS or Android because it tries to do animation on a JavaScript-style single-threaded execution model among other things. What content-based apps do you have in mind? The Reddit app nobody is using because it doesn't add value to the web site, and which Reddit keeps nagging about in the most annoying way possible (thereby signaling users to never ever install it)?

React is fine for browser-based line-of-business (and I guess also collaboration) apps; for content, not so much because you have to go through hoops to parse content into React's vdom [1].

I'd be wary of any Ubiquiti network kit. I only trust their APs. The ERL for example is an awful router - it has had a firmware issue for years now where it causes persistent packet loss due to reordering incoming packets. I discovered these problems in my own testing, and there is a giant thread on the forums about it which I helped kick off. The ER-X is the only thing that seems to work properly. Their switches are bad too (small buffers). UI is nice and they are cheap, but not worth the poor performance.

I sold most of my Ubiquiti gear and bought a Netgate 2440 a couple years ago, put Debian on it with Shorewall and auto updates, and haven't looked back.
Oh cool! I have a StarStrider that still works, and I love it. This is a terrific site.

My first statement would be: Yesterday was too late to ask this question, GDPR was passed two years ago.

The most important bit is to have a contact email for privacy issues, where people can request their data, request deletion of their data, etc. You don't need an automated system if you aren't getting a volume of requests you can't handle.

And the other big thing is you need to clearly disclose your vendors. If you host on a cloud service, use a payment processor, etc, you are sending private data to those companies, so you need to point to their privacy statements as well.

If you're US-based, look at Privacy Shield. If all of the data processors you use also Privacy Shield compliant, getting certified yourself is pretty easy.
but it can. you just need consent.
Review of _Bullshit Jobs_
Red Hat break backwards compatibility every 10 years. the LTS approach has been copied by every other Linux distro.

systemd is windows-like in that it replaces a seperate and duplicate code in init, cron, atd, forever, and a billion init scripts with something actually designed.

Red Hat has supported XFS and paid it's maintainers for something like 15 years now.

I could discuss the rest but it honestly seems you're arguing from an emotional viewpoint rather than a technical one.
I would call your comment a better characterization of that "better characterization" :) Says it shorter, and gels with some of what I have experienced, specifically the last sentence. That even works if are you in a less limited language but consciously do not use some of the more advanced features, because you know you don't need them for some work at hand.
How do you think free sites pay for producing all that valuable content? I find it astonishing that most people seem to think having access to news for free is almost a right. If you had taken their paid subscriptions they'd have served you a less add riddled version.
Selection bias is real here.

I thought dbl quotes smart for all the reasons in the readme. Me commenting 'this is great' is just noise on HN, and discouraged by the rules. Never take self-selected anything as truth, especially comments (tweets/posts/voluntary votes)
Review of _Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber_; review by Eliane Glaser

> As well as documenting personal misery, this book is a portrait of a society that has forgotten what it is for. Our economies have become “vast engines for producing nonsense”. Utopian ideals have been abandoned on all sides, replaced by praise for “hardworking families”. The rightwing injunction to “get a job!” is mirrored by the leftwing demand for “more jobs!”
You can run ads without 5mb of tracking scripts. The options are not “invade evryone’s privacy to maximize profit” or “become a charity” after all. Most of the history of advertising functioned without probing the virtual rectum of your customers.
I have a hard time believing this. There's simply not enough lithium in the world to support every house having its own battery, let alone support all of the EVs coming into production.

Besides, there's genuine benefit being hooked up to the grid. I'll gladly pay the $10/month interconnection fee just to have that as a backup to my battery.
It would be cool to see another series in the same universe, but the dynamics of the crew were a big part of the show.

Something that I'd missed in previous articles about the El Faro sinking:

> Then, at
0554
, the captain ordered a
turn to port to get the wind on the ship’s
starboard side, generating a port list.
A few minutes later,
El Faro
lost propulsion

---

> Log books indicated no more than
26 inches of oil in the sump in the
months before the accident (

).
With this oil level, the bellmouth
would not take in air (lose suction)
with an 18-degree list to starboard
(
b
), but would lose suction with
an equivalent list to port (
c
).

They had other serious problems, but loosing propulsion in heavy seas is very serious indeed.

See that is a measured opinion that I can agree with. :)

I do agree with the pesticide/herbicide use tracking and that lobbying is keeping the much needed regulations from being put in place.

OP's contention ("GMO plants with all kinds of non-long-term-tested gene modifications"), however, is just meaningless speculation.

No they don't. Only because some people ignore the function which is the second parameter is where it fails.

Isn't the likelihood function of given fit with any parameter theta with this silly function almost always 0, making it wrong to use either AIC or BIC?
Yeah, exactly the same work as you would need with an OS-supplied package
manager to build your own package. For some reason, though, this is considered
sexy, while doing the very same thing for RPM or DEB is regarded as boring and
troublesome.

Some cars (such as the Leaf) already supports this in a "vehicle-to-the-home" type system. I think the problem is largely bureaucratic and not technical.

Besides, I want my battery to last a long time, not necessarily be sacrificed to the grid.
Sounds like an exaggeration since I'm using it to post on HN right now.
Regulations absolutely raise the bar for new companies and give an unfair advantage to established companies who can afford the legal costs and additional staff. If I were a strategist for a large corporation, I would push for regulations that would hurt smaller competition.

Startups that specialize in easing the pain of compliance do help. I recently had to implement tax collection in an app and a third-party API saved me a lot of work. However, it was still a drain on resources and took over a month to implement and test.

I don't know a lot about GDPR, but the requirement to permanently delete all your information is absurd, especially if you need that information for a legal context. What if a customer sues you years later and you've deleted all their information? I don't get it.
A cheaper, and better (longer 5ghz and 2.5 ghz) option is the Archer C7 router as well.

Totally different. deleted=1 would be like adding a tag to a file saying "hey, this file is deleted" and never doing anything again.

A filesystem will remove the entry pointing to the data on disk, and mark that region as free and ready to be reused - and it will get overwritten.
The original Cisco article mentions that these aren't all of the vulnerable models, just the ones they've seen. There isn't anything fundamentally different between a 1009 and a 1016.
Science keeps going after your classes are over.
There's a difference, but the principle behind the GDPR is that "personal information cannot be conceived as a mere economic asset", and both those versions violate it.

"Nothing to see here." literally.
Slightly off topic but... my social circle grew concerned about our privacy some years ago and some of us, including myself, really didn't want to continue using a 'private' Facebook group. After a fair bit of trial and error we wound up using a vanilla Discourse image on some AWS provider. It's turned out to be the best think we've done for our friendships in decades.
Not only that. Animals in factory farms are held in very poor conditions, overcrowded, consuming a very poor diet not designed for them by nature, and spending most of their lives stepping and sleeping on their own manure. So of course they get sick. Do people really need studies and articles to figure out the end product of these sick poor animals will be bad for people?
I'm merely answering the "what's wrong with Redhat Linux?" question: it's enough to go to bugzilla.redhat.com and pull the publicly open priority 1 critical bugs, read the exchange between users and redhat and a pattern emerges. Never mind what I wrote and what I suffer through on RHEL every day, let's ignore and discount that; it's the exchanges in the priority 1 bugs that tell the tale for themselves far better than I ever could.

Try building RPM's between .el5, .el6 and .el7, the macro definitions are ripped out and (partially) put back in or modified for more often than every ten years. And that's just one example of many. Starting with .el6 they made their RPM backend scripts bust if -Wl,--build-id isn't used in CXXFLAGS, CFLAGS, and FFLAGS because they modified their castrated compiler to encode that automatically and rely on it instead, so if you roll your own fixed version of the compiler but don't implement that, all your RPM builds are suddenly broken. Now I have to put that work-around in my compilers. Should I go on? I've got plenty of technical details...

So yeah, they should go into web and not touch OS and kernel engineering ever again.
Spot on analysis. I assume this was intended to be a bit of a joke. Number of parameters is not really a useful metric when talking about the amount of data input to a function. What's important is how much data is encoded within the given parameters. I'm also relatively confident that there are likely a large number of functions with which you could achieve similar results (and probably without going to hundreds of thousands of digits).
There is no fundamental right for a business to be "sustainable" if it hinges on being able to sell off my personal data to 3rd parties. That is almost literally what this law is about.

You sound like the other people complaining "you know how much money I have to spend on lawyers to ignore this law??".
So critical that they'd leave the web interface running on public IPs without firewalling? If not then they're probably safe.
