So we have different definitions of CMS. To me, it’s just a system that allows CRUD ops on content by non-technical personnel. It often does other things too, like access/role management and editorial workflow, but I personally don’t see these as core to the definition.

Can we maybe agree to call this a “static CMS”? Just saying it’s “not a CMS” feels like we’re taking away a useful way of talking about tools like this — in exchange for some vague sense of semantic purity.

> they rather recreated all the complexity of C++

I find that this assertion holds about as much water for Swift as it does for Rust, Swift is not even remotely close to C++'s in terms of complexity, and that's with building in mechanisms for performant memory safety, a concept which C++ literally just shits on to this day and for the foreseeable future.

I motion to make this sort of empty ideological criticism against the HN guidelines. It should be a formal logical fallacy to critique the economic activity of other people just because they're choosing not to engage in whatever your favorite flavor of saving the world entails.

There's no effort expended nor insight contributed. It always follows a simple formula: woe to the world that all these {brilliant scientists, talented engineers} decide to work in {high frequency trading, advertising, data mining} when they could be working on {curing cancer, solving climate change, helping the poor}.

If you're not well enough acquainted with economic theory to appreciate why financial markets are at least somewhat useful then that's your problem, not anyone else's. Don't try to insinuate that society has lost something because some very capable people have decided to engage in work you won't even take the time to understand.

It's simply disrespectful. You have no idea what precise benefits their work contributes to society. You also have no idea what kind of charitable work they like to do in their free time or what kind if philanthropy their salaries allow them to contribute to the world. And this is all beside the fact that there are many secondary benefits of a company flush with money releasing excellent open source software and stewarding programming language development.
That is what unit tests are for.
> the receiving party might not have the original text

Sadly, that's why I wouldn't build such a feature (or whatsapp) and remain poor whole of my life.
it would be interesting to see if NNs could learn tell how many objects are in the image, and/or where in the image the objects are.

if the answer is no, then I don’t think that even feedback would help in the original problem..
In the context of this discussion, the idea was that it would act the same way as Python. But it obviously doesn't.
> I would imagine the item now has to be sold at a massive discount, recycled, or simply thrown away, so to them it's probably 100% loss when you include things like shipping.

I've received numerous "new" items that were previously opened and returned merchandise; things like a vacuum with hairs in one of the cleaning attachments. Same with a pair of headphones. I'd be happy if there were a discount for accepting a minimally used item. As it is Amazon just hopes you don't notice.
Could be that they've been in the PhD bubble for so long that they were never really exposed to how the rest of the world works.

I remember a lot of the profs at my college--gross old dudes--sleeping with their students and getting away with it. Hell, if I were a young girl, and I've got to listen to this guy every other day, and he has control over my grade--which could have a major impact on the rest of my life... maybe that would eventually have some kind of effect on my psyche.

Who knows?
> This case and this verdict had nothing to do with GMOs

Over 80% of genetically modified (GM) crops grown worldwide are engineered to tolerate being sprayed with glyphosate herbicides.
They should at least make it easier to get a shipping refund when things arrive late - right now they make you talk to a representative in chat.

I just went through this. They really should automatically refund you when your order arrives late, they have the data to implement it (meaning, they know when something arrived late).

Well corrected on his affiliation. Great quote too... Drink RoundUp? "I'm not an idiot".
There are quite a few components so common that people refer to them only by their part number (ESP8266, 555, WS2812, etc) - are you planning to support things like that too?

Right now it looks like only common/standard parts are parseable (resistors, leds, etc).

Webpack is your Achilles' heel
You do realize that policies like that insure that everyone ends up paying for someone's mistake or issue. The vendor (whether the seller or manufacturer) will calculate that when coming up with prices for what they sell.

Let's use airline fares as an example. If you allow people to cancel at any time for any reason (and for example to not show up) then the airline can't sell as many seats but has the same costs. As a result they would (in theory) have to charge a higher price for seats on the plane.

My point is that while on the surface this looks like it comes out of the businesses profit in actual practice it doesn't.

As a matter of fact there is a pretty widespread business practice whereby you allow people to buy and return for any reason if they are not happy 'NO QUESTIONS ASKED!' and you simply jack up the price of the product to account for the returns (which are predictable because it's the same product).
The presecution claims it's not the active ingredient but the whole herbicide that's cancer causing. I think the studies are only on one of the ingredients, not on the whole herbicide?

Also, questions of exposure are not addressed here. This person was drenched in it couple of times by accident. If I use rat poison for my job vs have it rubbed or consumed in different doses, results can be quite different. Monsanto claims it's safe in any form and quantity but I don't think that's ever been verified. Level of exposure matters a great deal. There is a reason so many cleaning products have warnings on them about keeping them away from the body (though not for cancer)
And the case was not for, against, or anything other than casually adjacent to GMOs.
Also the original Rust compiler was written in OCaml and the language draws inspiration from the same.

Also (perhaps this is encompassed by your statement already) there is ReasonML[0]. Switching over from the JS Quickstart to the OCaml Quickstart, one finds the very first line:

> Since Reason is just another syntax for OCaml, [...]

Side note: just finished a small project in ReasonML and it was a lovely experience. As someone who has been using Flow for gradually typed JS for a while now, I would totally recommend at least playing with it.

You may have meant "ethical responsibility". Viewing porn as immoral doesn't sound very 2018.
Yeah it is a super dumb excuse. The real reason is this:

> Our IT team is going to have to do some work and expose that traffic is sent unencrypted (or differently encrypted) to the final hop on the network.

I get why IT teams don't want to, especially for huge organizations, but "lol we can MITM TLS" is not acceptable. Terminate the exterior TLS at the network, inspect / log it, then re-black it to the end device.

Also, I want to take a second to complain about locally installed certs. I know we all know how they work and everything, but most users don't. The fact that I can see a green lock for google.com when Eve has put a local cert on my machine is really stupid.

People check their personal email on their work computers, that's just a fact of life. Their personal email password shouldn't be in some network log somewhere without them understanding that this is possible. There should be a different colour for when trust is different. A blue lock, for example. I know IT has root anyway, but most companies don't install key loggers on their gear or do obviously shady shit, and I think it would benefit users to have a clear demarcation about who they are trusting.
I didn't mean that middleboxes are incompatible with corporate networks, but that TLS's design of "your traffic is encrypted and nobody between Alice and Bob can read what they say" is. Middleboxes are a workaround for that.

As you say, there are other issues in a BYOD environment but is that common in an environment that uses middleboxes anyway?

The problem with middleboxes and TLS v1.3 wasn't that IT can see you're on Google, it's that you go to Google and get a grey page that says LOL_SSL_ERROR.
In other news, $2100+ for a small unit is viewed as 'affordable' for grad students to UC Berkeley administrators. I know there's a rent crisis out that neck of the woods, but that's some quality lack of perspective.
> CMS was designed to be...

On the contrary, the first CMSes were static site generators. You are correct that role-based functions came quickly, but the competition back in the late 90s was with Frontpage and Dreamweaver. Wordpress didn't exist yet. Most of the competition was around how easy it was to use your editors, how productive a non-tech author could be, and how much you could speed content through an approval cycle to get the signoffs in large companies on their public messaging. But the end result, at least pre-2000, was static content.

>I'm sorry, it's my fault, at the age of 66 I have visual limitations that make dark themes very uncomfortable.

I have been wondering why I longed for Dark Theme when I was young, and now twenty to thirty years later when Dark Theme in general finally arrived. I hate it.

I think the age and eyes strain explains a lot. I used to do font 8 or font 9 with all interface, code or web page. Everything is too large and it is like waste of space. Now I just wish everything has a 120% DPI scaling.
No, this was an effort by the Aacademy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Specifically, their Science and Technology Council.
Have you read the case? It's not about the crops getting cancer from the herbicide, it's a human being. Also human being is not a GMO product. I don't understand your GMO angle.
You may be too wrapped up in outrage to have seen my bigger point. Anyone can come along and claim a corporate culture is toxic for virtually any reason. If your company had a policy that gave extra breaks for people who smoked and said people formed a clique that excluded non-smokers then you'd have grounds to call this "toxic" and agitate for change just because you didn't smoke yourself.
I remember that video as well but frankly it's a silly non-argument. There are plenty of things that are safe to eat and drink that will still be highly unpleasant, especially in concentrated form. I'm sure that drinking a glass of vinegar won't give me cancer but it doesn't mean that I will do it on cue. I also wonder how much table salt you need to eat before it starts having bad side effects but something tells me that it's less than a full glass.

Besides if the glyphosate truly is dangerous then the risk lies with microdosing it over a long period of time, I doubt farmers quaff bottles of Roundup when they're thirsty.

Chambers in Egypt’s Great Pyramid concentrate radio waves
Just read SamWhited's comment.

Some middleboxes act as Man-in-the-Middle and inspect the plaintext, this is how those middleboxes were implemented in the past, and still, how they are going to be implemented in the future.

The middlebox disaster I mentioned is not necessarily about those boxes, but other boxes which do not decrypt traffic, but instead try to inspect visible fields and metadata in packets and protocols. One basic example is inspecting the SNI field to know the domain name you are visiting.

Many of these middleboxes are poorly implemented with hardcoded assumptions (but compatible with existing implementations), not fully in compliance with the standard. They also like to reject or drop the connection if they cannot successfully parse the protocol as expected.

After TLSv1.3 is released, guess what? Their assumptions don't work anymore, and they start rejecting every TLSv1.3 connection. The final solution is some tweaks of the wire format, to make it seems to be TLSv1.2 in middleboxes' perspective.

In fact, this is not really a new problem - many firewalls are designed to reject things they don't understand, because it was believed to be the defense-in-depth. This was the problem that almost killed TCP ECN 20 years ago, and officially condemned by the IETF (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3360), but history repeats...

Why not? If all employees want it and only one employee doesn't want it, why is it bad?

Why the person who doesn't like it just quit and go home.

Over the time I've seen in many companies where the employee is OK accepting the "bonus" even when they are clearly aware of the things that come with it but when it's time to deliver on those implied terms, employee rebels.

If work is 40-50% of our time, why not fulfill our fantasy at work? Not everyone has a privilege to have a life outside work, we can't serve two masters.

One size doesn't fit all. Look at the culture and move on if it's not what you want. Don't be greedy at first then find ways to sue a group in oblivion, that makes you a bad employee and a bad person.

I would love to defend the defendants for free.

I am an executive too. One outsider who accepted the proposal (greed?) failed to match the work expectation (lack of skills and motivation?) then found ways to act as a victim and thought suing them can actually be more profitable because posing as a victim, demonizes the company and its employees who were OK with its culture.

Edit: Downvotes don't teach me anything, enlighten me instead.
I would not be so sure about that. The reason why you are able to spend those huge amounts is because you are able to print the money while the world keeps on accepting it.

The same imbalance that strengthens your hand on trade (the huge trade deficit that the US has), is a big weakness regarding the dollar: the fact that the world has accumulated and keeps accumulating dollars could prove a big problem for the US once we decide your policies must be retaliated with actual measures.

For example, it does not make any sense for the EU to be unable to abide by a perfectly working international commitment (the agreement with Iran about non-proliferation, which has been positively audited internationally), just because we are unable to manage the flow of capitals when the US decides to block them. It would be in the interest of the EU to actively fight the prominence of the dollar.

That's ridiculous. Even in Amsterdam student housing is ~450 for single occupants, and the tuition is a lot cheaper as well.

At $2180 it is probably better to just move into your office or lab and sleep there.

The best way to deal with these idiot prices is to rent a regular house a bit off the beaten path and split the rent with a couple of mates.
Sure. Since the customer cannot inspect the item, as he could in a store, the legislative decided that the next best way to let him inspect what he's getting is free returning.

It got a bit less attractive a few years ago, now the seller doesn't have to pay the postage if the item is less than 40 Euros (and some minor otehr requirements).

Hard to tell. On the one hand society has always had creeps and weirdos. On the other hand this may be a canary that indicates that we've had some kind of societal breakdown where these guys felt better about taking pants off in a meeting rather than just asking someone on a date and dealing with rejection there.

Regarding your example: it's true that you describe a power imbalance, but unless those professors were issuing ultimatums (for which a smart person could gather evidence), the girls were making their own choices on how to get ahead.
The fact that it's a shorthand means that it's not in the definition, just a convention. In fact, nowhere in my studies I saw anyone using 'division' when working explicitly with fields in algebra, it's always multiplicative inverse.

By the way, you cannot do the addition like normal on that series, you don't end up at anything. You can say it diverges and its limit is +infinity (not aleph0, aleph0 is used for cardinality of sets so I think no one would use it as the result of a divergent series). When I said it 'broke math' what I meant was that, in the same way that OP did, it is a way to assign values to things that usually don't have one. I know it does not actually break math.
I share 1BR for $2000 about 2 miles from this location (away from campus). It has a great yard but is old and has rats/squirrels in the walls. Rent is crazy here.
> the scientific consensus

Uhh. You mean the lack of consensus. Which is bought and paid for by Monsanto. When it comes to their own products, they outspend any independent studies by orders of magnitude in order to create enough noise for there to be a lack of consensus long enough to make a profit. It's straight out of the tobacco industry playbook.
> and then you said something like no, profit margins are determined by competition.

No, I did not say that.

I said that competition is in some cases a factor but definitely not the major ingredient. Profit margins are not an input into some calculation, they are the result of a calculation.
> Except that I know if it pronounces certain names or words wrong over and over it would make me crazy and I would have to stop.

Most decent TTS or assistive technology systems have a pronunciation dictionary. This is a very real problem for people who use screen readers on a daily basis but luckily it's a (mostly) solved one.
I think it's worth considering if we should support a company who carries out these kinds of intimidation tactics against its player and fan base.

I get it, their games are good - perhaps even one-of-a-kind - but much like Uber and Riot, perhaps even with their great service they aren't worth supporting.

Just an observation.
Maybe we can also teach crows to harass the homeless so we can finally get something comfortable to sit on instead of those awful chairs that are meant to be impossible to sleep on?
In Australia, you can get full refund if product is faulty or not as described.

But there isn't any legal requirement for a full refund if you simply change your mind. That's up to the store.

Some still refund, some offer store credit and some have a restocking fee.

For special order items which are expensive, not sold that often and need to be ordered in as needed from supplier - they are more likely to have a restocking fee.
Thanks! That is disheartening, however the spirit of the talk is still inspiring and this HN post reinforces the idea.

The motivational part is after all a bit orthogonal to the intelligence claim. So the answer to the question "could we teach crows to do this?" might instead be "absolutely, however wild crows choose not to participate". Which is quite different depending on which viewpoint you have.

The other anecdotes from that talk are still valid and equally fascinating.

Can't recommend that talk any more though, at least not without preceding it with the information you linked...

In a plane (where you are minimizing drag when an engine is out) you would put the blades such that the prop presents the minimum surface to the airstream, in a windmill you have a choice, you can put the blade in 'neutral' by picking one of two 90 degree offset orientations, one parallel to the apparent wind, one perpendicular to it. In either case the blades won't turn.

For safety purposes 'coarse' is not always the best position because if the wind is heavy enough it will have a lot of torque to work with, 'flat' is much easier to hold down with a brake.
This may not be a bad thing.

Aviation as an industry has been very carefully managed by the US and UK (and maybe other) governments. This has led to a very, very low accident rate, but it's also led to a very, very low innovation rate.

Maybe this is a good thing, maybe it's a necessary thing, but you can't just take one facet of a complicated issue in isolation. Tradeoffs exist on industry- or nation-wide scales.
