LSU did research on this a while back post-Katrina and they already have a much more effective solution. The trouble is that the tourist beaches would be impacted by this if implemented everywhere.
For all the problems with Moment.js this article really sells it as the better solution for many use cases.
Why not just do the evil directly in the script if you can do that?
Just get any small Android device which is supported by AOSP and derived distributions, install one of those (Lineage comes to mind, AOSP Extended, MoKee, etc) and you're set - no 'crapware', no data harvesting if you don't feel like being harvested. No need to pay ₤1000 when you can get what you want for around ₤150 I'd say?
I'm not sure what conference you were at/what you saw presented, but there is drone software that creates a lot of value for construction, engineering, and mining companies. BVLOS may create a lot of value some day, but there are a lot more technical hurdles that will need to be cleared before it becomes safe and mainstream, just like Level 4/5 self driving cars. (unless you're talking about doing FPV inspections.)

Disclosure, I originally was the product manager for 3DR's flagship software product, Site Scan, which drove our transition from a hardware business to a software business, and I am currently VP of Marketing and Business Development here. Each mine that deploys our software saves, on average, 6 figures per year (after the product cost). This is on man-hour costs alone - the value is greater if you look at the increased safety of taking individuals out of active mines and increasing topography capture that enables analysts to identify issues before they turn into safety hazards on site.

That's just for one industry we serve - cost savings/time savings/improvements in project pursuit are all high for construction and engineering as well.

I think it's likely you saw some presentations from companies that had not done enough customer discovery or they were perhaps just very early in the process of identifying real problems and building the right solutions, but it's not representative of the industry.
Hm, I think there's a typo in the article: center camp would be at -i, not i.

Anyway, it seems a bit strange to me to use the burning man map (a polar coordinate system) to describe a Cartesian-style grid like the complex plane.
So, a death by NIH?

I for one am very excited about this. Loud, directionless, and without escape is exactly how I prefer my keyboards. It is unfortunate that the modules aren't ambidextrous, but I hardly use a mouse anyway and I'm right-handed. Rather than fixing that, I hope they start working on Bluetooth modules next. Maybe some battery modules and get this baby working on my phone.
Also VR or even better, AR!
Was this reply for me?
My guess would be that it's intended to be used as some kind of second factor for authentication.
Now we're all just _agents_ of change.
I've been using NCrunch at work for a few years now and it's really indispensable, especially if you have tests that run fairly quickly. You get test results and code coverage for your change a few seconds after typing. The only drawback is that I frequently forget to commit changes because the tests use the current editor state instead of what's been saved, so I sometimes forget to save.
I always hear people raise this point but there are better solutions than a flying robot inside of a warehouse.
They released the SE, originally, because there was enough demand for it. They said pretty much exactly that in the announcement of it. That demand clearly still exists.
None of those customers ever got an SDK (because there wasn't one) or any software. They only provided vehicles.
What's nice about something like Elasticsearch is if you categorize your logging levels you can more easily drop logs of a certain level at varying times. Debug/verbose/trace is a lot less useful after, say, 24hrs and takes up a lot of space while Fatal errors should be rare and probably want to be tracked year-over-year or between releases.
Eh, I don't think so. As mentioned above, almost all stores are closed in Germany on Sundays (not gas stations though, they will sell you emergency groceries for 2-3 times the usual price), and I don't think Germans are prepared that well. I think the frequency of natural disasters is more important for that (we have basically none in Germany).
Is it safe to buy hard drugs online?
Amazon launches part print in 2019. Take a picture or use the amazon ODB connect app and have your new parts printed locally and delivered within hours. Optionally have it professionally installed and recycled to make future parts cheaper. /daydream

So many need this. The cost of parts is outrageous. I remember reading some settlements where international part manufacturers were caught price fixing, but have not seen any relief in costs.

If it's emissions related they know you'll pay or many places won't let you register your car.

The cost of repairs has made it so I will never purchase an Infinity vehicle again. The cost of parts has me asking how many O2 sensors a car has in it before I consider it for buying. (that this is an expensive issue is imho dumb)

Local repair shop owner on radio show says they need to markup parts by 30% in order to pay for rent and insurance on the shops, and they need to markup the labor 30% to stay in business. So the only way for those repair shops to stay in business is to charge people more than their vehicle is worth to fix them, and depends on cities forcing emissions tests to make it impossible to drive without replacing expensive parts.

This isn't working well, though I suppose it is helping to sell new cars at the expense of the environment and those who are fine with upcycling older vehicles.

There has got to be a way to bring down the cost of replacement parts.

Are there any initiatives to have standard fit parts they fit multiple vehicles like generic drugs? I'd weigh that in the decision to buy a new car and it would affect the used car market well too.

Catalytic converter for one of my vehicles is $1800 they say, and it should be assumed that although check engine light is warning about one being bad, the second in the car is bound to need replacing very soon as well. Those two parts cost more then the vehicle is worth kelly blue book and such.

Also, is anyone doing a user part runner / grabber service? I contacted several scrap places requesting they pull and send parts from cars they had listed, none replied. Is it only an option to go there and get the part off the other vehicle in person? This process could be better, I'd pay a runner to grab some parts from a few cars.

Oh I hope Amazon continues to disrupt in this space.
But there's also where you have to travel.

At 43kb gzipped, it's hardly lightweight - that's 70% of moment.js' size, 4x larger than date-fns
You have absolutely no idea if any of this is true and you risk nothing saying it. It sure sounds nice though.. :)

Making things at the scale that Apple makes them is hard. If the SE was a great business idea, Apple would keep doing it.
Maybe they will make another one in the Spring. It's not dead dead yet.
Whenever a "you might not need this heavy, popular lib" gets posted to HN, the responses are always pretty divided. I always try and write my own functions and import things like lodash, underscore, jQuery, and moment as a last resort. Bundle size may not be that important to the people working on prototypes and side projects, but it certainly is to many other people.

If a library is heavy, it is in their interest to organize it instead as a collection of submodules that can be depended on individually (IIRC, lodash does this) otherwise they risk people just not using their stuff.
Is there any argument why Taiwan should be treated as anything other than a normal, independent country? I know that China wants to claim sovereignty, but a want is not an argument. I don't mean this as a rhetorical question--I am curious if there is any coherent argument here?

There’s a Simple Fix, but Grindr Is Still Exposing the Location of Its Users
You have a point but are also mistaken. XPrivacy does way more granular access checks than Android or iOS provide. The downside is, it's not casual user-friendly.

With XPrivacy you're able (or used to be able - I'm not sure if it works on recent Android versions) control things like how apps can use WebViews (e.g. what URLs they are allowed to open there), or whenever app is allowed to read or write (all separately) clipboard data. Etc etc.
Far as I know, Lester Young invented cool.

Here he is just before he died[0] with his old friend Billie Holiday (who he nicknamed 'Lady Day' - he called everyone 'lady'). Before him, what everyone wanted to be was hot, screaming, wailing sax, jumping up on bars, playing a lot of notes, extreme. Then suddenly less is more. He came up playing with Count Basie, who was also a less is more kind of guy. To oversimplify, hot was about high energy, cool was about beauty and taste. Hot was macho, competitive, striving to impress; cool was human, content, enlightened.

I think a good log system should give you the ability to store everything but filter quickly. So for example I'll set up my systems to store everything down to LOG_DEBUG because I might want that information. But when I'm actually looking at the logs I like being able to exclude the DEBUG messages and look at the general behavior, then drill down when I think I understand what the sequence of events is. Good log systems should support this without making me filter as I'm storing the data.

Also in UNIX systems I wish there was a way to generically pipe the output of a command to the system log while preserving the return code in case the command exits. In BASH you can configure the pipe behavior to propagate errors to the calling shell, but in normal shells the last return code is the one that gets stored, which is not usually what you want. It would be really cool if the logger utility captured return codes from upstream and returned them so that I can use it in the antiquated SystemV init scripts I have to maintain.
You can do "warmer reboot" in even smaller code: int 19h (assembles into 0xcd 0x19). One surprising thing about that is that it confuses the hell out of ntldr, but to do fast reboot from DOS to linux through grub it works perfectly.
I'm assuming you don't have anything to do with mobile web design.

Our complex single page app is approximately 180kb gzipped (JavaScript files and a single html main page) - no html from the server except for reports.

Size is very important for first visit (lower delay loading files over cellular), and important for subsequent cached visits (mobile devices are slow to parse JavaScript).
I've somehow managed to work at 3 companies in a row that use Hg. I don't think it's rare at all, or maybe I'm a statistical anamoly.

In this context, I was having a happy conversation and not really expecting to be called "disgusting". That's not argueing against same sex marriage, and is not helpful in the work place. My mum is a staunch catholic and conservative, but never has she referred to me like that. I feel you're argueing the wrong person. I'm happy to listen to respectful conservatives, just as I am intolerant of intolerant "liberals", but sometimes you've gotta be intolerant of the intolerance.

And proudly signaled to the rest of the world that it was them that did it?

What cases are you thinking about?
...which proves the point. If you feel threatened by someone else's lack of training, it's only in the context where they are carrying a gun to work. I would hope that most reasonable people would agree that the majority of tech employees would feel less threatened by non-carrying coworkers than the opposite.
Very interesting! Though I wasn't watching closely I think I saw a real-world example of your concept on (I think) BBC News yesterday. Forgive me if this is not wholly accurately retold:

It was about about unsustainable fishing on a large trawler that could set out about a million fishing hooks a day, and catching everything.. large tuna, sharks, etc. They then projected globally; this is the dominant way we go about fishing, and with it halfway this century our oceans will be empty of fish.

Then they brought the example of - I believe - Irish fishermen, who some years ago and seeing hugely diminishing returns, decided on a different system whereby scientists would determine beforehand the minimum shoal size that would lead to sustainable growth of the fish population. The fishermen would then be free to catch the remainder of the population, and divide it amongst themselves based on stake in the game.

This 'share' determines their yearly quota. If next year the total shoal population had grown, their 'share values' had increased. This modern fishing method apparently worked perfectly, and every year they have bigger returns, catching almost as much as in 'old times'.
I'm not sure if you meant that as a rebuttal or not, but I completely agree. :)
Next time I'm in Japan I'll definitely try that!
Well that's just like your opinion man.

Rhino is such a joy to use, I honestly wish I had a reason to do some 3D modeling just so I could justify purchasing it, and have an opportunity to use it.

As far as I've been able to tell, trying to be as neutral as I can, I don't think the lies, hatred, and violence cherry-picked or selectively ignored by the NY Times and similar come anywhere near the volume of the same done by Breitbart and similar. Further, when it does happen, it seems to always be much harder to draw the connection to intent, e.g:

NY Times: Support some policy -> Policy could be considered related to communism -> Communist regimes have killed many people throughout history

Breitbart: Support hatred and rejection of broad groups of people directly.

Further, Breitbart and similar seem much more willing to engage in propaganda rhetoric and purposeful deceit.

I'm not sure. I couldn't find anything about how long data remains kicking around after you "delete" it. I assume anything I ever store on iCloud is stored permanently, _somewhere_, but who knows?
Interesting, made me look.. on my microsoft erqo natural 4000, the B key is on the left side, which matches what I seen on the linked site's pics.

Are you using a brand of keyboard that is putting the B on the right side of a large split? Or using a keyboard that has no space at all between the right and left?
Talking about not so much, but actively participating in yes.

I grew up in a Mormon family where smoking was not only taboo but very strongly punished.

Show HN: Bounce your startup ideas off me

There aren't a lot of tools for exploring fingering for non-standard tunings, and jguitar.com has served my explorations for the past couple of years.

jguitar.com is also very comprehensive in terms of chord fingering, scales, etc.

One major difference between jquitar.com and guitardashboard.com is that the facets (tuning, chords, scales, etc.) are separated from one other on jguitar.com, whereas guitardashboard.com tries to place them all onto a single screen. My initial reaction to guitardashboard.com is that this approach does succeed. However, jguitar.com has more to offer in total.

My thanks to both authors for helping us explorers of alternate tunings. Any help we can get is appreciated.
We are the generation who will be responsible for introducing this new paradigm. We are the generation with all the tools and platforms. Let’s try to avoid adding unneeded layers of skepticism just because people can’t or didn’t think it through.

I suggest folks to try it with a critical mindset in evaluating the productivity and social interaction. With a mature sense of responsibility. If you miss meetings or don’t deliver, you’re making it harder for others who know how and love to do it. Be mindful, either if you’re a worker or a company.

I have been working remotely for few months every year. My director was skeptical initially. I told him that if I didn’t act responsibly, that would have been my last time. That happened almost 10 years ago. It’s really on us, folks.

For people that feel alienated, well, social (and social network) skills can be improved and put us on the stage of this kaleidoscopic beautiful world. : )
Yes but there's another caveat there, I don't have that info. How do I know that Google Reader (remember it?) generates data that can be mined for their profit and how do I know it doesn't until they announce that they kill it? I know that mail and search are untouchable, was talking about the broader services.
I met one of PartPic’s founders at a mutual friend’s wedding last year. Sure, maybe he wasn’t a coder, but darn was he was smart. Before I founded my latest startup I built a “skunkworks” style startup in a larger public company after being acquihired. Have to be honest, the hardest part was navigating the parent org, not building the product. PartPic’s founder and I had a super interesting conversation about getting bigger companies to actually care about your internal project. The fact they even got this to a launch is impressive.
I'd do the same if I could still find a new LifeProof Nüüd for it or a very convincing alternative. Otherwise it wouldn't last very long anyway...

From the perspective of any one given actor/organization, the coherent argument might be "we don't want to piss of China".

But to the spirit of your question, no there's no argument that's externally valid. The CCP has claims relating to it's legitimacy, security and territorial claims. They are not widely viewed as credible, but China has insisted on making Taiwan a red line issue so everybody else has to pretend like these claims might be legitimate.

At the end of the day it's a very large political entity trying to take complete control of a much smaller one against it's will. It's colonialism plain and simple.
This is kind of already taken by elementary os though.
The term is used as a pejorative by conservatives so it is expected that they wouldn't use that exact terminology, but "they just want to be treated equally" is the rallying cry of the left and exactly how the left characterizes it even if conservatives don't want to carry the label.
I type in Dvorak and used a typematrix 2030 for about 2 years. I never got as fast on their board as I could on a standard, staggered layout. Don’t know why...

I feel like this is just a very short-sighted view of the JavaScript ecosystem. A huge amount of JavaScript applications aren't used internationally, aren't used on mobile, or simply aren't websites.
