By WebAssembly only I don't mean you can't call it from JS. I mean rather it's designed for Wasm not for JS. JS is generally event oriented. Native C/C++ games are usually spinloop+polling oriented. With the current design of commit is for spinloops but once you do a spinloop you can no longer receive events.

That blog post you linked to is 2 years old and out of date with what browser are actually planning on shipping.

For JS you no longer need commit at all. canvas (both 2d and webgl) work offsrcreen just like they do without offscreen. You render, when your event exits the changes get magically propagated to the corresponding canvas. commit is solely for when your event never exits (you're in a spinloop)

Hey that's a great thought 'co-living' vs 'roommates', reminds me of this: https://twitter.com/sugarsh0t/status/929976876474417153

Maybe it's the same thing. Although, the amount of 'co-living' initiatives popping up all have similar values to promote a the sense of community and support in addition to just living together.

So I think the word co-living differentiates from roommates because of the type of initiative it's used for. I could add a page to explain more.

>If its for makers, are things like tool shops important to highlight?

I only actually thought of digital makers. In the application, I ask for profession and interests, so if I see more physical makers, I can add some more relevant questions for that.

Either way, I'll look to clarify this.

>I would have liked to browse the co-living profiles. All of the calls-to-action involve applying of giving up some info.

I agree, it would be great to see some profiles before giving away any information. This will come next as more people join though. The main purpose now was to validate the idea before building the profile sections.

Each developer works in their own little silo and doesn't bother to learn the code outside their silo. Each team member developers their own idiosyncratic style. If they have to work with someone else's code, it's unfamiliar and they make slow progress and get cranky.

Now all the developers are going to the CTO or CEO and undermining the other developers, trying to persuade the CTO that so-and-so's code is shit.

Here-in lies the problem, the assumption that HN readers have to all prescribe to a single political and "social" ideology. I would argue a majority of HN readers would prefer to stay neutral while on HN. If users want that content, there is certainly not a shortage of political focused websites.

I am going to debate the fact that the HN community silences opposing opinions and comments, which won't be popular... But it is evident in the fact that I challenge you to show a conservative viewpoint post making the front page. I have personally seen comments and posts silenced by a minority that had the majority of votes countless times.

Anyway, I digress which is the entire point. In the same vein as I loath sports pundits that try and always get political because it distracts from the essence of sports, the same is true of HN.
That's true.

I played through X-Wing Alliance last year. It seems weird that they haven't even tried just updating the graphics and re-releasing them. Surely there would be a market.

At work, to alleviate this issue, we use a client library for service A (i.e., one that provides service.getChipmunks(color='blue')). This gives you the compile time check, assuming the client library is a compiled language.

One step better is autogenerated client libraries where a new version is created every time a new version of swagger.yaml is deployed. However, I don't know an open source project that does this.

Westfield uses third party hardware solutions in multiple malls to track in/out, matching against voluntarily-registered parkers so that parking tickets are not needed for smoother customer experience. These solutions track -all- in/out plates because that’s what they’re for. My info is dated but there was no data sharing.

Significantly more creepily, WF uses wide-coverage anonymous device tracking to build customer profiles of visitor paths/time spent in shops across multiple visits to place targeted ads via FB and the like. Don’t walk around in a mall without your Faraday cage.

You make a good point - we need to significantly increase the penalty for this kind of illegal immigration.

Thank you for elaborating your proposal. It might work in a theoretical scenario, but unlikely to be practical for existing projects with millions lines of codes.

Essentially, it was easier to write a compiler / linker optimization, than change the source code. On the bright side, everyone wins!
Yeah, I wasn't suggesting they immediately dispatch a team for transforming everything into this. But at least from now on they could try to get people to use this pattern, and make the move gradually.
I've inherited (then reinstalled) a monitoring system using SMS Tools. The modem has a long USB cable, and an external antenna. I positioned the antenna on top of the rack.

It's in the middle of the ground/machine floor of a large building, so there's a lot of thick concrete walls around, but it gets a good signal and reliably sends SMS alerts to me.
I am in no way an expert on these things. But it could be the case that you have anxiety. The 'weed' takes it away and allows you to program.

Maybe you could try to lower your coffee consumption and drink relaxing teas instead. You could also take a few days off work and try to figure things out.

What is your heart rate like? How much do you sleep? How many cups of coffee do you drink in a day?

If you're heart rate is constantly up and you sleep very little (4-6 hours) and you drink more than 4 cups of coffee a day, my opinion would be that you're suffering from anxiety. If you treat the symptoms (without weed ofc :) ), the underlying physical stress might go away and you'll notice that you can program whilst not being under the influence.

Best of luck

If all you are doing is starting the fact that some people have more money than others, that is a correct and useless statement. You very clearly mean to imply that this inequality is morally wrong and should be changed, and I challenge that moral claim as incorrect (and dangerous and self destructive).

This doesn't have anything to do with taxes, but American campaign finance laws certainly have room for improvement. The constitutional republic is certainly unhinging from the needs of the masses, but I would argue this is a federal government problem, not a money-buys-influence problem.

I am aware bad things are happening. This is not a reason to totally dismantle the capitalist system that catapulted hundreds of millions of people into an unprecedented standard of living and quality of life the world has never seen.

This is basically meaningless. The US has ~6 per thousand, and other countries like canada, Germany, and France have 3-5. You sound like you're regurgitating memes you saw on Facebook.

China Hing Kong and China Mainland was always a separate entity.
China Hong Kong Google site still remains blocked in China mainland (last I checked), because Google refuses to comply with China laws regarding privacy.

Google has other business interest that doesn't require direct access to customer data and products that can be only developed for Chinese consumers.

This is a ridiculous thing to say. Curtin, Hawke, and Gillard all left the faiths they were raised in, and the first two Prime Ministers were Spiritualist (no dogma, not really zealots) and Unitarian (no supernatural belief) respectively. Australia is not a country in which accusations of zealotry can be fairly levelled.

If you'll allow me to ignore the non-sequiter about Abbott, it's worth pointing out that while he did cut CSIRO funding, as much to my disappointment as it was to yours, it wasn't really unprecedented, with funding experiencing lows that were similar under Hawke and Howard.[0]

I certainly agree that the money (publishers, funding) is going to likely chase what's making money. Games that are free with in app purchased are making way more money than games that aren't.

I don't know if Fornite has any scammy and/or addictive qualities. My understand is it does not and is making the most money of any game ever. Around 10 million per day at the moment. So yes, the funding will probably go to those types of games more than the GoW, BotW type of games.
I'm curious about what do they mean when they talk about dismissing complaints. They mean that the complaints weren't investigated at all, or that action wasn't taken after an investigation?

That said, I also want people to build applications which run all around the world. I can only imagine what it's like for people in Australia to browse the modern Internet, but I doubt it's particularly fun and I'd like to help fix it if I can.

Very well-clickbaited title.
Good timing!

I would not say that apps are addictive. Some of them are be but not all.

Yesterday I was running a thought exercises around what makes Facebook, Instagram and Twitter so popular and why people keep flocking there despite their negatives - I certainly don't understand it. I reached to several conclusion but the most important one was that just like cigarettes there must be an addictive element that makes it into a rewarding experience for many people. Think of the likes count, sharing count, comments and even scrolling the news feed - you get a small doze of dopamine by just doing things and I would imagine, eventually it gets so addictive that you loose perception of time and you just get stuck in.

I would not say that the Web is addictive in general. There are some places which could turn into an addiction but I highly doubt anyone would get addicted to checking the forecast or searching with Google. These are very popular utility services. The same applies with many apps and games which provide utility: spotify, iTunes, notes recording, etc. But some apps are specifically exploiting our addictive nature. Social networks which rank the top lists are good example. Even this forum can be addictive in a sense that although it provides a function it also has the concept of ratings through the karma scores. It is gamified and that is what makes it addictive.

The sad fact is that many people in this forum are in fact in the business of making people addicted. We measure success in terms of how well and for how long we capture the customer's attention and if that has something to do with emotional responses I would say it is nothing but machine for making people addicted. Why would anyone spend 2-3 hours a day on Facebook or Instagram? What function these platforms provide that is useful in day-to-day life? Yes they are useful to connect with friends but this is not what they are used for mostly. You will put effort into making great posts and shares and the reward is the likes which I am sure is as addictive experience as it gets.

So worrying about getting customers addicted to your app or game is counter to the goal of making the same app or game very popular and I will say that it is also business prohibitive. You could however concentrate on ideas that are utilities (all of SaaS) but you should also be aware that you will probably have much tougher time ahead to make your idea into a successful venture.

I mean there's no reason you have to change everything by tomorrow. You could introduce it as a policy moving forward, the same way I'm sure you make any other changes to other patterns that need to be followed. I'm sure you have a process for this?

> Essentially, it was easier to write a compiler / linker optimization, than change the source code.

I agree, but see above and below.

> On the bright side, everyone wins!

Well, you waste space, time, and energy making the compiler and linker do work that doesn't inherently need to be done. You also lose parallelizability of the compilation of the two implementations if they currently reside in the same file. Finally the compiler (er, linker) might not be able to actually apply the devirtualizations you expect, whereas in this case it's just a matter of inlining since the target method is already known.
Regulators Are Slowly Starting to Get It: Utility Tokens Are Real
Oh, totally. My friends and I played tons of games of pick up ultimate frisbee, basketball, and football. Those games were 10 times more fun than any formalized sport I did.

There is 1 football game I especially look back to which happened after a massive rain storm. The entire field had like 2 inches of water perfectly spread across it which made it not too hard to run across but completely painless to dive and tackle on. You would be holding onto someone trying to bring them down while they would drag you across the surface just as if you were water skiing. So much fun!
I believe the problem lies in the wording of ‘exact’. Without a direct comparison to the source material ‘exact’ could be challenged. There’s also the problem of exact dating of a piece of art as being pre-1923. With a reproduction in a published book you have a publishing date in the colophon that logically must be the same year or later than the reproduction of the artwork inside. Without that you’re relying on the artist’s date of death or supporting material such as an original bill of sale to make the distinction.

Basically, the problem is that when you’re releasing a derivative work with CC0 you need to be 100% sure that your original licensing is correct. We’re probably being overly-cautious, but luckily the imprint style allows us to be.

As a daily user of the interrobang, I’ve just gotta say, how awesome is this‽

For any aspiring interrobangers, one thing that helps make them easier to use is to set up text replacements. I have replacements setup on my phone and computers to replace “?!” and “!?” with “‽” automatically.
Then why mention it at all? If you're not willing to back up such a statement like that with any kind of reasoning and state so explicitly, why bother telling anyone? This is a forum; implying a place for discussion. If you don't intend to do that, refraining from such provocative but unsubstantiated additions is more positive.
