If youve ever dealt with the uk ico youll know its true. They refuse to do anything about individual complaints. The gdpr also states that samctions will be determinedby the gravity of the violation and number of users affected, among other factors.

Nothing to worry about for people like the open source project in question. This is way overblown paranoia, but unferstandable given the current hype.
Google and Facebook don't use Git. Microsoft really loves Git and GitHub.

I understand the use of linters in interpreted languages. But I'd rather see this kind of stuff done as compiler warnings in compiled languages.

Ideally, one could configure the compiler to treat specified warnings as errors and fail the build if they are fired.
I'll probably be picking up a new 10" tablet in the next couple of months, but it'll be for use as an ebook reader for computer books and for use as a second monitor (https://www.splashtop.com/wiredxdisplay) when I'm away from my desk.

It may not be the same as an external 14" monitor, but it'll be a lot more portable.
Unless you were doing custom jQuery builds per project (which no-one was), it was always bad. People would routinely drop in the 35kb lib and only use 3-4 functions.

No, that simply doesnt happen. Ive annoyed the ico in the uk many times and they refuse to do anything for one complaint. I recently got a 500gbp out of court settlement in a spam lawsuit that the ico did fuck all about.

Exactly this. The beautiful thing about machine checked formatting and linting is that it's consistent, and the ask to conform to it is generally not onerous. If someone wants to make that the hill they die on, I would argue you're now into culture-fit issues with the employee not the process.

This is, in sharp contrast I would add, to all my experience with code-reviews where colleagues are making style criticisms at the same time, which is an utterly useless experience that devalues the entire code review activity.
I know a lot of people are excited about them, but I still have problems with how web components are being designed.

Custom elements feel like we're moving in the opposite direction from semantic markup - they just degrade into divs, so they're not particularly meaningful unless the DOM used to construct them is also descriptive and meaningful. So immediately we get Shadow DOM which hides a bunch of stuff from the end user. It's really clearly bad for accessibility and user control.

Beyond that, it's not clear to me what problem we're solving:

- Integrated templates into HTML: Okay, I get it, potentially useful. You don't need custom elements for that.

- Blocking global CSS from styling your components: Valid, but this is a really hacky way to solve that problem. What we'd prefer is CSS boundaries that don't require JS to use.

The main thing seems to be that people think the code looks cleaner than using divs and CSS classes. Which... great, I kind of agree. But why should I be so excited about what basically boils down to syntactic sugar?

The one super useful, really exciting part of web components was HTML import. HTML imports would have been amazing.

But that effort has been messed up as well - it relies on Javascript. We can already use Javascript to make AJAX requests and append content to the DOM. What we can't do is include a single header across multiple pages without building either a webapp or a preprocessor.

I think Mozilla is in the right to have dragged their feet so much on this. Beyond shadow DOM, which I'm nonplussed about, what is now possible with modern web components that wasn't already possible 3-5 years ago?
Y-chromosomes and the extent of patrilineal ancestry in Irish surnames (2006)
What makes you think one or more didn't?
They should because it benefits themselves and the country.

In the long run, the rulers of a country don't condescend to pay attention to voters because it's the right thing to do - rather because it prevents chaos, revolutions and guillotines. Voting is fundamentally an accounting mechanism that is justified by its provision of information about what is best for the country.

It's not so rational for people to participate in voting, because (virtually) no election is ever decided by a single vote. Thus, the electorate, as long as voting is voluntary, is going to inherently be biased towards irrational people motivated by emotion. That's why compulsory voting is a good idea. Voting isn't a privilege, it's a form of feedback that is vital to maintaining a healthy state, and having it be voluntary makes no more sense than voluntary taxes.
It has nothing to do with APIs.

Our app has a great tablet version, on par with iPad and we don’t use fragments at all. We just change things based on size.

It’s more that Google obviously stopped caring about tablets many major versions ago.
i just find it amusing that everyone gets up in arms what Brad Frost struggles with in React because he's famous. news flash: hundreds of devs face these issues every day and figure it out. Brad is famous and has problems with React; that's fine. He'll figure out a way that works for him. Doesn't mean his opinion at all reflects the experience of the thousands of devs who are happy with React. Let's move on and talk about more interesting things.
California doesn’t get much if it’s energy from coal anyways, utility generation is fairly clean. Not as clean as Washington, which has a lot more hydro, but close.
That's a hell of a claim. They sued Samsung (mainly because Samsung went out of their way to imitate Apple and fell afoul of design patents) but I don't remember them suing others.
I think people got carried away with the JSX side of React (which IMO is really just the icing on the cake) and forgot that React was probably the first view library that introduces the notion of the DOM as a pure function of data. It made functional programming mainstream in front-end development. This purity makes UI extremely easy to reason about and makes all DOM changes tractable. I was in a Backbone shop before using React and I remember Backbone was such a chore to manage in a large application. We switched to React and never looked back.

> Being a small business doesn't give you the right to be negligent.

I can't understand this attitude that it's negligence to not want to be bankrupted by poorly crafted regulations.

We're dealing with things like a website to sell wood carvings that someone makes as a hobby. They've got names and addresses because they need to know where to ship them.

This is not a reasonable place to apply a complex regulatory framework. The idea that this involves "serious responsibility" or "grave risks" is akin to applying a regulatory framework designed for an oil refinery to a garage sale because a used lawnmower may contain some "hazardous" motor oil.

It's not that the danger isn't theoretically possible, it's that the regulatory requirements are totally inappropriate to the context.
I just bought one for my five year old, it's a pretty damned impressive device - she loves drawing on my 12.9" iPad Pro and having Apple Pencil support across the whole product line means she can do so on a less expensive device (the 12.9" Pro is already beastly enough, I cannot bear to put a case on it). With some fairly large games loaded up we've still got roughly 40% of the storage free, and with app offloading in iOS 11 I don't really have to worry about space like I do on her now defunct Fire HD 7.

With that being said, I couldn't downgrade to the 9.7" iPad from the Pro models, I didn't think the non-laminated screen would be too much of a deal but it really does make a huge difference.
Android tablets have been replaced by Chromebook convertibles that are capable of running Android apps. It's a much better experience than a typical android tablet ever was.

The news simply suggests Google isn't selling tablets anymore on their store. Their last tablet was the Pixel C which was discontinued on December 28, 2017 so this news isn't exactly surprising. This does not mean, however, that Android tablet are going away. You're still going to see tablets from Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, etc.

I played around with Lottie (iOS) last time it was posted on HN (or maybe Reddit) ~6 months ago.

Just eye-balling, but it does seem as though these drops in Y-diversity were far less extreme outside of europe and the mideast region.

That said, chiefalchemist is jumping to conclusions not supported by the data in the papers when he offers his conjectures on violence etc. The only thing we can really conclude with authority based on this data is that whatever happened, more of it happened in europe and the mideast.

Buying Nokia wasn’t the issue. Microsoft’s handling of Nokia was the issue. Microsoft is not good at making a physical product and releasing it to the world like Apple and Samsung. The fact many countries had to wait > 12 months to get the latest phone was retarded. Windows phone was awesome, but Microsoft screwed themselves by not doing minimum what it’s competitors were doing.
Microsoft understands tablets? According to this chart their tablets don't even register.

In the UK, you can be arrested for saying absolutely anything as long as somebody who heard it claims to be offended and a policeman also agrees it's offensive. There's no boundary or guideline that you can follow.
> I disagree

He's factually correct though. I don't see how you can disagree with the fact that the supreme court already ruled these practices legal (jury), neither republicans nor democrats managed to fix the matter (ballot), and the average american showers once a day...

Stories like these have been all over the news under both republican and democratic presidents and congress - nothing changed.

The JS world is so much more hype driven than say ruby, every few months they will have a new framework that promises to solve all the problems in ui land or the backend. They write songs in its praise everyone worships it like this is the one true framework a panacea for all evils. And then when the hype cycle winds down a new framework emerges. I am totally bored of looking at this cycle for the past few yrs. This just leaves a ton of unmaintainable projects in its tracks because the devs have found a new toy to play with. I have seen clients struggle to find backbone devs because no body in interested in Backbone this is a repeated pattern among JS Devs.

JQuery -> Backbone -> [Tons of Backbone wannabe's written in Coffeescript Batmanjs/Bananajs/what not..] -> Angular -> [Angular lookalikes with tons of magic] -> Ember -> Meteor -> React -> Vue -> [Wait a few months new framework in the Pipeline].

Unfortunately very few want to agree to the truth.
Presumably this is quite large relative to the expected number. I couldn’t find a statement as to what the expected number was.
I'm using made up words as placeholders like foo, bar, or anything else. Not suggesting you use your own tld of burrito. The point of using a nonsensical example is that your TLD choice for hostnames and rDNS in a management VRF can be entirely arbitrary, since it is not part of "the internet".

Typically the name would be something relevant to your needs, such as the name of the company, or AS number. I think what you don't get is that the public root name servers do not need to have anything to do with an entirely internal dns infrastructure.

Not suggesting icann is going to crash and burn either, but that "real" TLD relevance to what you do in rfc1918 IP space in a network that is not routed to the internet is minimal at best.

Bet you $5 that Google's actual internal dns for the oob, SNMP management, automated provisioning tools which control those 1e100 hosts is not 1e100, and is not a zonefile you can find cached anywhere public. They built their own internal dns for it. Have seen the same at two large CDNs. Their internal authoritaive DNS servers for their management IP space have no connection whatsoever to the public internet or to the lettered root nameservers.
i've followed those rules for a while, surprisingly hard to keep it up these days, even harder to convince others why it's not a good idea. like explaining to your GF why you don't want to show a relationship status on facebook. maybe easier now with the analytics scandal, but still

That's one of the benefits of Chromebooks: there isn't really any way to install the custom crapware. On Android they are obviously not limited there and (ab)use it to a great extent. It's really too bad, because I love their hardware. Can't stand the software tho, so I buy elsewhere.
10 hours? You on a dinosaur computer or something???
I initially bought it only for laptop-mode (web-browsing and Google Docs). The keyboard and touchpad are pretty great. The tablet-mode has just been a convenient bonus for reading when laying down.

While I think it has the perfect form-factor for a laptop (thin, light and great battery life), it's not the perfect general-use laptop as it can't run arbitrary x86 applications natively, nor has high specs. (I hope Project Crostini will make it a suitable for some light dev work though). Its touchpad is great, and so is the Chromebook-style keyboard (small tweak I'd make would be a double-width backspace key, but I for sure prefer no Super key and no F1 to F12 row).

It may not the perfect tablet because as you say, iPad is lighter, and the ergonomics of a hinged hybrid will always be slightly worse with a keyboard on the back. But it does a really good job.

While arguably imperfect in isolation, together as a single unibody aluminum device, it is the best device I have ever used. For what it is, it's very very cheap, you're right it may be slightly more expensive than an iPad (and the price hasn't really fell since it came out a while ago).
How has Kaggle fared under Google? Just asking. Also, ms has been focusing on open source quite a bit. Largest contributor on Github. Makes sense. It'll also send a message to the tech community. Mostly Google hogs the limelight for open source stuff.

I guess Google doesn't want phones to cannabalize their Chromebook marketshare.

Android, Chrome, and ChromeOS exist as channels for Google to deliver its services, they are not profit centers in and of themselves (no license fee for Android, Chrome is a free download, ChromeOS runs on the cheapest hardware out there). Google would have no qualms about gutting the ChromeOS market if whatever replaced it offered a better opportunity to get their services in front of more eyeballs.
> and increasingly through news video

Well, yes, because Facebook's timeline is optimised to surface videos over other content. If you priorities one type of content, it's no wonder it becomes what people consume the most.
I’d love to see a link substantiating that claim.

Apple his owned the high end of the tablet market since the day the iPad came out.

As of earlier this year, the price of a fantastic brand new iPad is down to $300.

Android tablets never seemed to get anywhere. My impression, having never use them, was that the software wasn’t quite ready at the start and by the time it was it was too late.

Amazon attacked the low-end with cheap and subsidized tablets, taking up anything Apple didn’t.

The only thing that seems to be left are the $80 things that you can buy at pharmacies and other places. Sure they run Android, but the version is ancient and the hardware is garbage.

So basically only Amazon and Apple seem to be left at any volume.

Windows tablets obviously never took off, despite the fact Microsoft has been trying forever. The only “success” they have is convertibles, which are really Windows computers with detachable keyboard. No one seems to use them as tablets from what I’ve seen.

You know what’s an almost ideal image component? <img>. Sure, browsers could be a little cleverer about prioritising image loading, and I wish everyone would prefer to slim their images down somewhat, but compared with all other attempts I have encountered (with no exceptions), <img> is almost ideal.

I unconditionally hate all scroll-based lazy loading of images. Any other forms of lazy loading of images such as you outline in this post I will also hate, p≥0.96. And attempts to be clever like detecting high latency and working otherwise in such situations normally mess up what I want to happen.

I’ve written about these things before and I’ll doubtless write about it again; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16518010 is the last time I wrote about it on HN and some discussion arose. (The previous time was on the SVG image placeholders article linked elsewhere in these comments.)

Sort of tangential, but React is way less painful with TypeScript/tsx. I combine that with an IntelliJ IDE (RubyMine specifically) and honestly, it's a lot of fun to write web apps this way. (Maybe that's because I come from an iOS background?)
