I am not sure what WebAssembly has to do with "breaking the monopoly Javascript has had on this space". It always has been possible to target JavaScript from your compiler. Sure, WebAssembly is a better compiler target, but it does not enable anything.

For example, ClojureScript compiles to JavaScript. Clojure didn't need WebAssembly to do so.

Ask HN: Why do we (hackers) suck at design?
My girlfriend is Taiwanese. Yes, kids could be Taiwanese, but I can't. Taiwan doesn't allow dual citizenship, and also has conscription (I'm a conscientious objector).

I know a mother and son from church here. She went to NYC, met a Chinese man, got married, had a kid. Moved to Canada. He went on a business trip and cheated, they divorced. Without him, she lost her Canadian residency. The kid had 4 passports (US, Canada, China, Taiwan - dual citizenship is allowed under 18) but he couldn't live with his mum unless they moved to Taiwan.

Aged 15, all his education in English, suddenly expected to study at a local Taiwanese school. Last I knew they were trying to move to Germany.

Taiwanese (and Canadian) permanent residency aren't permanent, because if I leave for more than a couple of years I lose it. NZ PR is permanent. (Or 4 years to Canadian citizenship).
>It is incredibly frustrating that police don’t seem to actively enforce the majority of the laws

It's not just the police. It's the DA and judges too. Also, weirdly enough, the defense attorneys and public have a very large burden of fault here.

A court clerk I know realized while filing records that our county had been in violation of state law for over 7 years in handling one type of case. Hundreds, if not thousands of cases have been prosecuted in that time. Yet, there was exactly 0 formal complaints about the counties violation of the statutes.

The clerk in question had to point that out to an attorney quietly, who then finally made a complaint on a case they were handling. After that the country dropped a few hundred pending cases on its books. But why did it take 7 years? Why hasn't anyone went "wow, the county violated people's rights for years, should someone be prosecuted"

Nope, just more revenue collection for all involved.

That I find it weird that people appear to single out Cloudflare (e.g. asking for a Cloudflare-detection extension) when there's nothing materially different about them from many other companies serving large parts of the web. Traffic is protected between you and an agent the site you are visiting trusts, just like in nearly every other hosting scenario. You're almost by definition not "pwned" if your traffic is seen by someone who is supposed to see it, as long as they treat it appropriately.
I think this is very subjective, but I'm going to give it a shot.

People are usually either artistic/creative or booksmart.

Of course there are people that excels at both, but not in the general public.

So I would assume it's because most "hackers" are booksmart and not as much artistic/creative.

You're not actually asking the right question, because it's not just about design and creativity.

I think Judea Pearl would agree with you in part. From an interview in https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/05/machi... :

As much as I look into what’s being done with deep learning, I see they’re all stuck there on the level of associations. Curve fitting. That sounds like sacrilege, to say that all the impressive achievements of deep learning amount to just fitting a curve to data. From the point of view of the mathematical hierarchy, no matter how skillfully you manipulate the data and what you read into the data when you manipulate it, it’s still a curve-fitting exercise, albeit complex and nontrivial.

I went to a similar presentation in Hawaii for educational purposes and was able to convince my wife and daughter to come along.

It was less impressive than we hoped it would be, but we had a good time by replying leading questions with undesired answers. (“How much do you pay per night for a hotel?” “$150 for our excellent Airbnb!”)

I almost felt bad (but not really) for the sales woman who was obviously wasting her time.

When her boss joined in to take it to the next level, I simply asked him: “we’re going to France this summer, 6 months from now, in the Nice area. Show me which offers I could book today through your timeshare plan.” There was nothing reasonable. He gave up soon after that and we received our $300 tour tickets for free.

All in all not a bad deal, but we won’t do it again.

I really wish that I could do some basic sdr with android.

People talk about decentralization and privacy and net neutrality, but sdr on handheld would sound very exciting. I'm sure ISPs would argue against it, but communicating small segments of data wirelessly between terminals would open a lot of gates for new kinds of software.

Dht is already at the core of Bitcoin, yet it's not talked a lot about. Dht, to me, is the most important networked algorithm. Implementing the concepts of dht over sdr sounds new and unexplored, but it should be the internet of the future...

Welcome to subscription hell: https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/06/subscription-hell/
Carbon neutral atmospheric recapture of personal vehicle transportation carbon is probably about 600-700$ per ton of carbon. (Based off of practical experiments in the UK.) My read of the literature doesn’t show any hope of this number decreasing. A gallon of gasoline produces 20 lbs of carbon. This puts a carbon neutral tax on consumer gasoline at ~6-7$ per gallon. If you allow 20% “inefficiencies” (tax collection; frisson; profit margins), you’re at 7.2-8.4$/gallon. My fuel costs would go from 2.75$/gallon to ~10.50$/gallon. My yearly commute costs would go from ~1100$/yr to ~4000$/yr. I suppose it makes even a medium range electric vehicle look cheap—especially given the far cheaper costs of capturing carbon “at the stack” at the power plant would mean that central power wouldn’t be taxed as heavily.

>Instead, government could've imposed ban on the consumer products which are wrapped using plastic material. Almost 50% plastic come directly from such consumer products sold by all FMCG companies. Such plastic material which is used as a wrapper (e.g. mineral bottles, wrappers of chocolates, biscuits, wafers, tobacco, etc.) is often useless and people tend to throw it right away.

Broadly speaking, that would be a terrible backwards step for the environment. Plastic packaging often reduces waste by protecting the product from spoilage and damage.

A lot of people bemoan the plastic wrapping on cucumbers, but that wrapping doubles the shelf life of the product. It's a net win, because the environmental impact of wasted cucumbers is far greater than the environmental impact of a gram or two of polyethylene wrapping.

Many people argue that milk should be sold in re-usable glass containers rather than disposable bottles or cartons, but the environmental case is really marginal. The glass bottle is considerably more energy-intensive to produce and transport, with more energy used to collect and wash it for re-use. Returnable glass bottles are often worse than disposable plastic if the transport distance is too great and/or the breakage rate is too high. In many cases, the best option is reusable plastic bottles, which are less energy-intensive to manufacture, lighter to transport and more durable than glass.

Plastic is a wonderful material that has an important role to play in a sustainable economy. There has been a huge increase in the quality and availability of bio-based and biodegradable plastics in the packaging industry. We have irrationally demonised a very useful material, creating a huge distraction from much more serious environmental problems.

If you buy a beef steak wrapped in plastic, the problem is the steak, not the wrapper. The plastic wrapper produced ~10g of CO2 and required ~100ml of water to produce; the steak produced ~7kg of CO2 and required ~4,000 litres of water to produce. As long as it is disposed of responsibly, a whole trash bag full of plastic packaging has a negligible environmental impact compared to a single portion of beef.
You severely underestimate the bandwidth of your eyes and ears and other senses

This is so common there’s a term for it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox
X.509 subject names are human readable text and probably you shouldn't try to reason about them beyond the simplest exact bit-for-bit comparison.

Where the subject name is the name of a something on the Internet it should use the Internet's defined "Subject Alternative Name" (SAN) mechanism, rather than trying to squeeze into the X.500 system's hierarchical directory. For compatibility, and to save the X.509 subject being empty which confuses some software, you may write one of the DNS names or IP addresses into the X.509 Subject's Common Name (CN) field as human readable text, but you should always write all DNS names and IP addresses into SANs.

The dnsName SAN is defined like a DNS record, so it's case-insensitive and (if it's an IDN) Punycoded, it's also deliberately defined with a single encoding that is too narrow for anything much beyond an actual (Punycoded if appropriate) DNS name, to avoid people trying to write "extended ASCII" characters into this field by mistake.

You could also just use the ASN of the network which is always cloudflare for CF ips.
Accurate. They don't have to be inside the data segment - they can simply be part of the actual assembly instructions. But more or less, it means the constant is "being written directly into the program".

If "program" refers to the object code unambiguously, I don't think this expression is problematic per se.
> Maybe Docker is just reinventing the wheel...

Docker is way more than that, and he's completely ignoring the bigger picture, and many people seem to be missing that. It's importance is not limited to "my little server" - it's the concepts that matter - not the technological details. Docker standardised a set of concepts, which have been adopted at a rapid pace for a reason. It's no accident big corporations like RedHat Google, Microsoft, Amazon are jumping on Kubernetes (which uses the docker concepts, and massively extends them), for cloud deployments, it's the future.

It enables a standard way to quickly deploy and configure applications in a relative standardised way, and democratised doing this at cloud-scale. Sure you can use it locally and for smaller-scale, but that was never that hard, although it made it easier and faster too in some situations.

I'm a devops/sysadmin guy that introduced docker to quite a few developers, and most were very hesitant and sceptical at the beginning. But once they saw the power of what docker can do for them, that attitude quickly changed - and a lot went overboard with it initially (as did I in the early days I must admit).

Stuff the devs especially loved was the fact that with a single command, they could launch the entire application stack of whatever project they were working on locally, and with another command stop or destroy it. Database servers, amqp/rabbitmq/..., reverse proxies with path rewriting, ... One person had to maintain the docker-compose config, all the others just did 'docker-compose up -d'. It also allowed them to easily add dev supporting services like mailhog, that fakes an SMTP server, where they could visualise the emails they sent in a webui, add a chaos monkey for testing, ...

For ops it also made stuff easy - the "works on my machine" virtually disappeared or at least was very quick to fix. Configuration and deployment was clear and straight-forward, even if eventually it wasn't deployed on docker.

What you initially described isn’t a “debit card” despite GPs post, but a debit card isn’t what you think either. A debit card can be used like an ATM card (what you call a Bankomat, and isn’t charged a cash advance fee like using a pin with a normal credit card), but it also can be used pinless like a credit card, just the money is immediately held in your bank account. That’s the difference with what you described originally, the immediate rather than end of month part. The closest thing really we have in the US generally used to what you describe is a “charge card”, which some versions of American Express are. You are required to settle up in full at the end of the month usually, though, and carrying a balance isn’t allowed (again, not always, but usually).

Vespa.ai (Search Engine) Now Supports ONNX (Open Neural Network EXchange)
Not only are your tone and diction off-key, but your framing of this as a two-party domestic issue belies your myopic view of the world. My experience is that Americans grossly overestimate their advantage versus Asia, and are generally blind to the cues that several of the top economies in the world are laying the groundwork to free themselves from America’s increasingly confusing and belligerent influence. When the opportunity presents itself, the myopic West will have to admit that they missed clear signals like Japan’s decision to pursue TPP without the USA, and the warming of Sino-Japanese relations, including overtures by China to flip TPP to an “Asia First” bloc, and China’s inevitable domination of innovation and so-called intellectual property (a fundamentally flawed premise) in the coming decades. Not to mention the roles of Russia, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. in the New New World Order. China is openly talking about colonizing Africa and Eastern Europe. It’s all there in the news, if you choose to pay attention. The world is lining up for America’s Julius Ceasar moment.
> is often useless and people tend to throw it right away.

It's not useless per se. Packaging makes things look bigger on shelves and it gives a better perception of value for certain items (or makes them more visible on shelves).
