My guess would be the vast majority. In addition to being an area that has everyone's interest right now, the hardware is getting more and more specialized so it just doesn't benefit general purpose computing. Just as FPU enhancements target a fraction of computing tasks, GPU's target an even smaller fraction, Tensor cores / 16-bit FP etc smaller still.

This is the exact opposite experience we've had.

We're all over Europe and the U.S. It was pretty painless. Our business does not rely on the ignorance of users or the abuse of their privacy. What "army of lawyers" did you have and why was the spirit of the law not enough? We had several different business units get through compliance without any problems.

This isn't a hard thing to address at the end of the day (so long as your entire business doesn't depend on it). I just can't help but feel a few ways A) You didn't understand what the law says B) what your lawyers were actually worried about or C) this story is just made up.

It’s 2018 and people still work on COBOL, but unlike that, Django is actually really great.

Where I’m from the most popular techs are .net (not core), Java, PHP and Django. Django is perfectly viable in that regard.

Go may be better, but if you can run Instagram on Django, I don’t think most people will really have to worry about scalability. Go might become popular eventually, but right now, there isn’t a single golang job in my country, so you know. :)

Not necessarily. It's a seller's market due to huge demand, so prices alone may not be a good indicator of difficulty at this point.
It's similar to how Redpillers would explain how women, who they believe to be less intelligent than men (among other deficiencies) are still able to dominate society: through lies and manipulation and controlling the media, etc.

It's remarkable how much the narrative stays the same whether the enemy is women, or Jews, or people of color.
> The distance from a car door to a shop is a good ten minutes, so she simply doesn't go there. She goes to out-of-town supermarkets with disabled bays right near the entrance.

...which is rather ironic, considering "ten-minute walk from parking lot to shop entrance" is an almost unique American suburban problem: we need huge parking lots because everybody's driving.

Construct a city so that 95% of the people take public transportation, and you can keep parking space for the rest 5% who really need it, and they will be practically at the front door when they get off.

It is. The issue is that for the "shelved" step there is only one shelf per piece of inventory. So once it is one the shelf there is no guarantee about the origin.

Amazon does allow sellers to pay extra to keep their inventory separate. I don't know if the stuff Amazon sells is kept that way, but there's no guarantee it is.
> To me, the Django project exudes the stubbornness of the developers who maintain it because rather than fixing these problems they've decided to write this page about how it's you, the user, who is wrong.

Sounds like you're doing the same thing. You have a set of expectations about how the world works that is not the exact same as Django's - which is true of any other tool anyone uses.

Also I want to point out that software is not made by a monolithic entity; it's made by people, and you suggest a few simple things like adding type checks and validations, which would be a wonderful opportunity to contribute! In fact, opinions such as yours are enormously helpful to the creators of software frameworks. Software doesn't build itself; if you have ideas, contribute!
About the signup flow:

I'm a founder searching for a corporate credit card, so naturally I'm comparing benefits with other cards.

The rewards page boasts "Brex gives you valuable rewards equivalent to 500,000+ points on competitor card programs.", but gives no specific information about these rewards without signing up. This felt deceptive / scammy to me, and I instinctively closed the page.

Later I found the rewards FAQ question, but the statement "Like our cards, our rewards are different. They offer valuable savings to companies on the products they use most, like software, servers and advertising. These rewards help build the company, rather than competitor rewards programs that offer consumer-oriented benefits for individuals." again was too vague to know whether it was worth signing up to learn more.

Just my anecdote, but I would suggest offering more details on the reward program pre-signup.
A tech forum that's local to me ran a 'CPU forwarding ring' - you could sign up to have a CPU sent to you, and after upgrading your BIOS you'd have to send it to the next person who needed it. I thought that was a genius solution.
To be fair that’s pretty much the doj enforcement strategy too. Except you don’t even have to serve American customers to be targeted there.

ACLU Advice on Securing Software Updates
Rather than trying to force some particular vision of "the good life" on people, what if we tried to price transportation and other things appropriately?

For example, get rid of the gas tax. Toll all state and federally funded roads. Scale the toll according to the amount of wear and tear the vehicle causes for the road. Price something in to account for emissions. Make sure the tolls are high enough to pay for the road and its ongoing maintenance. Cameras capturing license plates at intersections can keep track of everything (tolled highways near me already work this way). Bonus points if you get municipalities on board and reduce property taxes being spent on transportation.

If you started doing stuff like this, I think people's choices will start to change. When it costs $5 to drive 30 minutes in to work every day, people are going to choose to live in big houses with big lots in suburbia and drive everywhere. When they have to pay the full cost of making that drive, their preferences may start to change.

Yes, a lot of stuff would have to change to get people to agree to this sort of thing and make it work. But the author is already talking about re-making cities, so we might as well do it in a way that maximizes freedom and consumer choice... right?

You’re right: such city designs should be accompanied by good universal healthcare and accessible public transportation, like most other wealthy countries, so that neither of these would be an issue.
No law is clear until it's been argued a few times in court and an army of legal professionals have duked it out. This is why - at least in the US - the branch of government that writes the law is separate from the one that interprets it.

Imagine this scenario. You want to write your own code ProductX and link it with some GPL code. This brings ProductX also under the GPL license.

You can put ProductX on a server and never actually distribute ProductX to anyone. By not distributing ProductX, you don't have to distribute the ProductX source code to anyone -- although technically it IS under the GPL. Since you're not distributing the binary, you don't have to distribute the source. Yet the public can interact with your server and make use of ProductX's services.

The AGPL prevents that. If you write your code ProductX and link it with AGPL code, then ProductX comes under the AGPL license. But now, merely letting the public interact with ProductX on a server requires you to distribute the AGPL source code to ProductX. Now anyone else has the ProductX source code and can compete with you.

The AGPL is also a way for the author of an AGPL library to make money. A library such as iText. If you want to use iText with a proprietary ProductX, then you need to buy a separate commercial license for iText.

If the developer's intent in ProductX is to keep the source code private, then the developer cannot link ProductX with any AGPL licensed code such as iText -- unless the developer is willing to pay for a commercial license to iText.

A developer should never have code that they didn't write themselves, such as a library, unless that library is under a license that the developer can always remain in full compliance with. That includes proprietary and commercial libraries as well as open source libraries. While AGPL is "open source" if you cannot comply with the terms, then don't use it.

Finally, avoid any code you find on the internet that has "no license". If you use such code, the copyright owner of that code could sue you for copyright infringement. "But wait!" they say. "I would never sue anybody, I just want as many people as possible to use my code, so I don't put it under any license." I say: If you're not going to sue me, then put that promise in writing. it's called a license. If you're such a good guy and aren't going to sue me, then put it in writing like all other open source licensed code.

We definitely need to transition from a car-centric to a person-centric urban landscape. Free public storage (parking) of personal property is a blight, and it's reprehensible that polluting and environmentally damaging personal vehicles are given primary consideration in hundreds of cities. I do agree that it's ethically questionable that many of the wonderful commercial districts give up 10-20% of their land to park cars for a handful of citizens. Let's get solutions in the here and now to these car-centric nightmares.

However, let's also build for technology coming down the pipeline. Urban planners today need to think about the coming tsunami of driverless vehicles, as well as the steadily increasing trends of cycling, scootering, e-bikes, and other electric last-mile solutions. These technologies may not make a huge impact like the car, but if they do, our policy-makers should be planning for these potential game-changers.

For instance, with self driving cars, we must ask what will be their effects on institutions like city buses? Does it make sense to have massive often under-utilized buses which don't drop you at your desired location, or does it make better sense to have smaller, 5-10 person self driving vans which can dynamically adjust routes, dropping off riders at much more desirable locations? What about cycling, scooters, and such - will these become increasingly popular as self driving vehicles start to penetrate? I know I'd bike a lot more places if I didn't have to deal with very unskilled and inattentive drivers all over my narrow-streeted city. Does this mean, somewhat paradoxically, that self driving vehicles will actually reduce the number of vehicle trips in a city, while increasing other modes of transit? Will self driving vehicles in non-urban settings actually increase vehicle miles traveled, as couples in expensive metropolis areas realize they can commute twice as far if they get to kick back and relax during the journey?

The implications of these technologies, and others we haven't seen yet, are potentially massive. We need to bring these transport modalities into the discussion whenever we talk about reshaping our urban landscapes.

You can today get a lot of prescriptions mailed to your home just from the local pharmacy like CVS so that's not going to be such a huge advantage. Also pharmacists can have pretty important roles educating people about harmful interactions and answering questions which is something where an online prescription fulfillment service might have a hard time.
Hopefully things will stabilize once a few big players with dark patterns are taken to court, establishing some precedents.

You're taking away a mode of transport some disabled people depend upon, you have to take their needs into account while doing so. Simply adding ramps and slapping ADA stickers onto everything isn't an actual answer, just a convenient way to simplify the problem.

If you go from heavily vehicled areas to large pedestrian areas where vehicles are banned, you've gone from one extreme to the other. In both cases disabled people are left behind.

Besides what other people have mentioned FB is also one of the biggest Mercurial (which is build in Python) users out there and has a few developers working on it exclusively.
In this particular case, it wasn’t integer coordinates that were the issue, but the antialiasing quality, browsers (at the time, 3 years ago, might be better now) just couldn’t cut it. Say what you like about Adobe, but their algorithms are top-notch.

On the integer coordinates side of things, if an SVG has horizontal or vertical lines, I’ll always make sure they’re well-aligned before putting them into a UI.

It's inevitably a judgment call because there is overlap between political topics and good HN material. If someone is name-calling, yelling, or ranting, that's more likely ideological battle. If someone is substantively discussing UBI, that may be a bit of a tired theme, but it obviously isn't necessarily battle mode.

It isn't. It just feels that way to you because of the hostile media effect (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22hostile%20media%20effect%22...). Everyone always feels like their favorite point of view is censored or suppressed and that the mods are against their side.

> AV1 will eventually become the new de facto video codec on the internet (which is currently h264)

As much as I would like to agree with this, I think we should expect H.264 to be the de facto codec for quite a while longer. Consider the following:

* An industry research group's 2017 survey [0] showed us that most users still only stream at 720p and that will probably not change in the immediate term. When 4K is the norm, we'll have a glaring need for AV1.

* That same Harmonic 2017 survey also showed that most distributors don't plan to leave H.264 because it is serving their needs just fine.

* x264 only got to where it is today after nearly 10 years of active development. I remember how painful it was to encode H.264 with open source tools in the beginning. Most distributors will not want to take the plunge immediately into AV1 until x264-style stability and acceptance are imminent.

But when you are really old or disabled you can't drive either and then you are totally screwed. And your electric wheelchair is not usable in a typical US town.
Oh yes.

I just had surgery that requires me to be on crutches for a few months, so I'm temporarily disabled.

If you're young and able-bodied (like me pre-surgery) and want to understand what it's like to not be young and able-bodied (which you almost definitely won't be at some point) you should put your right leg in a brace, and try not to let your foot hit the ground for a day or two and try to live that way. The ground is lava for one leg.

"Walking distance" means about a block or two before you get sore from crutches or your arms get tired or your hands fall asleep.

Disabled access is a godsend, everywhere. And while I can't cook a meal in my own kitchen because I can't move around and hold a plate of things at the same time, I can drive to get takeout and carry the bag inside.

The world changes when you can't easily walk.

A bigger impediment to building walkable spaces is that zoning and codes usually prevent it from being built. From parking minimums, to very low maximum heights, to limiting the number of units that are allowed to be built on a plot of land.

All the regulations put a cap on density, to prevent it from ever happening.

Instead, some cities should try putting a floor on density: maximum number of parking spots (perhaps only enough for those with limited mobility), minimum building heights, and minimum number of units per parcel.

Or, just let people build what they want. That would also result in getting more walkable neighborhoods, which are super valuable, both to the residents and cities.

Legalize density.
I think the article was geared more towards giving outsiders a rough idea of how boards are made. Not an in depth guide to someone wanting to start a mill. Given the volume of material the industry produces, saving even 1/16" on a cut would likely translate into billions of dollars. I would find it highly unlikely that any outsider, regardless of their mathematics abilities, would be able to walk in and make an improvement. More likely only very incremental improvements come from people who've worked in the industry for years and have an in depth understanding of everything involved from how the wood is used, transported, cut, what's done with the waste, and things like how saw blades are made.
