The tradeoff between flexibility and reliability in the interface engineering world is very poorly understood. There's several dozen layers of reliability abstractions you can add to your Javascript code. Each one individually is probably a smart idea; taken together, you can create an endless array of overhead to even complex Javascript apps that massively reduce flexibility and slow down the iterative process if you want to continue improving and experimenting on your UI.
So why are you rambling on about unrelated pet topics in HN threads?
If you're arguing species-level survival, really we're going to survive longer than that, short of a meteor strike or maybe nuclear war.

Sure, 99% of the population might die, the equator could become uninhabitable, and we might lose advanced tech in the ensuing wars, but it'll take much more than climate change to completely wipe out homo sapiens.

We do need to be colonizing other stars within a quarter billion years or so though. The sun won't last forever!
Meh, the article seems like a clickbait joke article, the advanced features in iphone are kept that way, that is how Mac has always been. Easy for most and special features tucked in plain sight.

A possibility straight out of a thriller novel - and definitely exciting!

I don't think it likely though because such a nuclear option from the CN government would have the effect of basically destroying their position in the global supply chain.
This is a false dichotomy. Unlike tulips or public company equity, startup equity is highly illiquid. It's hard or impossible to sell it an attractive price as an investor. Sure, later investors may invest at a higher valuation thus increasing the value of your holdings on paper but it's exceedingly rare for later investors to purchase equity from earlier ones.

In order to get liquidity, you need to have your portfolio company have an exit, either by IPOing or being acquired. Good luck having either of those two events with an entirely worthless company. Even if you do, it's fraud and people will sue you and government investigators will kick down your door.

I think most of the other commenters here are on the right track. VCs just don't do that much diligence for early stage companies, especially if they have a compelling emotional pitch. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if someone flagged that their technology was impossible and a partner pushed ahead with the deal just in case of a miracle. There's so much money chasing returns now that $10MM is a pittance for venture funding.
Is electron really worse though? I use VS and VSC professionally and VSC is the best ide I’ve ever used.

VS is great too, but it’s performance is really, really, terrible when your documents and settings directory is on one network drive and your codebase is on another. Not exactly VS’s fault, but it’s an ide for enterprise that can’t function with the most basic enterprise drive setup?

VSC, the electron app on the other hand doesn’t give two shits.

People usually tell me VSC is the one off unicorn. But isn’t discord better than team speak and ventrilo? Isn’t slack excellent?

I don’t think sunk cost is a negative when people are building better tools with it.
I learned many lessons in nature, and it allowed my mind to light with imagination and curiosity.
I agree with you, now its normal practice to blame someone without evidence. Intelligence communities around the world are major source of "fake news" and media manipulate. My understanding is that "whistleblowers" are part of experiments done by intelligence communities to gauge public response on certain activities(might be illegal ,immoral) and with passage of time we forget and accept theses practices as new normal.
There's zero evidence that people stop reading at the first answer. Otherwise no other answers would have any upvotes, and you can see that's not the case.
Wait, if I do (in any language)

foo = createFuture(1)
bar = createFuture(2)
foo.poll()
bar.poll()

I would expect them to start doing work before polled, otherwise there'd be no concurrency. Do I undsrstand you correctly about polling?
One often doesn’t need TypeScript. TS solves some classes of problems that would otherwise become crippling in projects of certain sizes and of certain levels of complexity, but, by design, JavaScript tends to happily let you throw any data into functions and have it work (by some definition of “work”).
GCs have a lot of implementation specific quirks and properties, so for example a real-time app would be better served by shipping its own tested GC implementation than giving a "short pauses please" hint to the browser API.
The difference I think comes down to a few things.

- One is that it is a hell of a lot harder to cheat on Mars than it is in the remotes of Earth. Once you establish the outpost, its not like you can just call in a maintenance team and have assistance at your door within a few days. This forces teams to find ways to make it work. This also makes it much harder for changes in leadership to cancel the mission.

- The other is that developing tech for extraordinarily hostile remote environments tends to produce more potent solutions because the cost of not being sustainable is so much greater.
There are times when I think Black Mirror portrays things too ridiculously, but the underlying sentiments end up being eerily real.
Really because WPF, web forms or razor all seem very inferior to me than VUE or react.

Hell when we were still building interfaces in .Net we paid a subscription to use Telerik on the frontend because the standard .net stuff is absolutely terrible.
Wow, that was super interesting.

Basically the worst part about the fake news issue - the sheer volume of it makes it in effect impossible to deal with at an individual level.
Space exploration is simultaneously a legitimately hard problem to solve with strict and unforgiving parameters, a blank slate socially speaking, and inspiring. It has served for many years to fuel innovation that would not otherwise happen. It is worth pursuing for that reason alone.
Error messages could be better, Elm has set the bar in that regard.

Fearless Refactoring. If it compiles it works, except if you built in some logic errors. The compiler will find all syntactic and type errors, which might feel annoying at first but if you reframe it into the compiler is helping you then it is fine.
The United States actually does have the ability to selectively degrade signals. I don't know enough to comment on this capability in more detail (another comment seems to indicate that it is through jamming). A relevant excerpt (from 2000) is below:

I imagine if you peeked over a teenager's shoulder as they went about their routine phone habits you'd have little idea what was going on through all the memes, inside jokes, cultural references, and slang. I have a hard time believing our ability to memorize is so rigid that it peaked in the period after operators routed calls and before phone books, rolodexes, and contact lists in flip phones. We just put memory to different uses throughout time.
A cynical explanation would be that Amazon has looked into it but have decided that it is more beneficial to promote Chinese crap over quality products, precisely because they break more often (more replacements sold) and more people buy low priced crap than high quality products that cost more (more earnings for Amazon).

I think the height of this is the iPhone's home button (which is gone in iPhone X, but regardless).

It has 6 functions, on a single button, based on how light or quickly you press it - single click, long press, double click, single tap (lighter then a click), double tap, triple click (if enabled)

Online Marketplace Ideas for Aspiring Entrepreneurs – Start from $500 to $5000
With Amazon and Alibaba taking the world by a storm, many ecommerce stores popped up to follow the trend. And why not? With majority of shopping happening over the internet these days, the odds of your business succeeding have increased multifold. People especially love shopping from a multi-vendor ecommerce website as they get better and more product and price options. Speaking of different industries, online marketplace in itself carries a variety of business models to choose from. Let’s take a look at various businesses internet has to offer:https://businesstown.com/online-marketplace-ideas-for-aspiring-entrepreneurs-start-from-500-to-5000/
Native support for WebAPIs is blocked on garbage collection - WASM code will need to claim a reference to garbage-collected DOM/JS objects, and will need to be able to hand off GCed objects and callbacks to JS APIs.
They list the Python Falcon variant in their filters, and it used to be up there in previous editions.
>I think there is a lot of value in going through the pains of setting up a development environment, writing build scripts, debugging environment issues, etc.

There is but not as the first thing you do. Even I still get frustrated with setting up new dev envs for new (to me) languages. I'd much prefer to just try it out first and then figure out the plumbing later.

>What real problems are beginners actually solving? I literally cannot think of a single one.

That's a very elitist take. Firstly they are solving their own very real problem of not knowing how to code. Second they could have a very specific problem they want to solve that can only be solved by code.

>Most introductory programming tutorials I've seen start off with very straightforward instructions to setting up a basic environment - and this is actually useful in the long run.

It's true but what is also true is that there will almost always be version changes and OS specific changes that break the instructions in small but material ways. A beginner will not have the skills or knowledge on how to resolve that.

>That being said online repls are useful for writing quick code for e.g. testing something out.

Isn't that exactly the same problem they are solving for beginners?
I am looking for internships here if anyone wants someone that really wants to get into Robotics.
Right there you highlighted the biggest issue most people have. They're scared to touch or change anything in case they mess something up.

All devices need a universal undo so you can change something and easily undo if you get it wrong or you just preferred the old setting.

For security you could prompt after a while to make the new settings permanent and delete the snapshot.

What are you doing for batteries? How's the battery life on your X62 in linux, and how many cells?

I did appreciate the improved battery life with the LED conversion, but my complaints are more along the lines of colors being off and a visible pattern of the LED strip at the bottom of the display. It's non-trivial to get the LED strip perfectly aligned in the CCFL gutter, and in my last attempt there were some other artifacts, it certainly didn't look OEM in terms of quality.

Having said that, the SXGA+ 4:3 screen in that dimension is a rather nice resolution. I just wish there were compatible OEM LED options to do the mod with. Unfortunately these days nobody seems to be producing 4:3 screens.

There are at least two kinds of ways different people use their devices: people who actively discover everything their device is capable of, and people who don't do that, because they are afraid to break things. My parents, for instance, are the latter ones. I am the curious "electronic computer stuff" guy, just because I explore my possession to the fullest.

However, Apple makes it as easy as any Android vendor to explore their devices, except that on any Apple iOS device it is the same system, and almost the same tricks. Not so on myriads of Android devices.

I must admit the bit that some features are indeed hidden, so that I cannot find them exploring. Sometimes I read an article about iOS devices and discover functions I didn't know my iPhone could do.
Why Rick and Canyon Barry Stay True to the 'Granny Shot'
This is correct.

"so-and-so is my wife" => it will update that contact's info (and yours). Then later you can say "text my wife I'm on my way home" and it will.

"call me Mister Smith" => it will update your contact's nickname and use that to address you

"Take me home" (or to work/etc.) => it will bring up directions in apple maps to the "home" address on your contact
Well said! Moreover, the popular “thumb on the opposite side of the scale” approach risks accidentally encouraging a “thumb war” of sorts: I think people’s attention is naturally drawn to the thumb on the opposite end of the scale, and thinking this to be unfair, will respond in kind with more thumb pressure on their end. This could escalate more and more, until you eventually end up with extreme unfairness vs extreme fairness.

The “thumb on scale” approach does work in some cases, I think, but it’s important that there be a “de-escalation” (or “de-thumbing”?) endgame strategy. What you don’t want is a situation where there are thumbs on each side of the scale, and each side is telling the other to remove pressure but neither side wants to because it’ll benefit the other.
"Time to time" is reductive even. Large Javascript projects succeed all the time, and have done for decades. This whole thread needs a bit of perspective, no matter what you think of Typescript, the web wasn't invented in 2015...

I don’t think it’s horrible, could you point me to something better?

We used to work with, first WPF then web forms and later MVC with razor, and we very quickly bought Telerik because the standard UI components in .Net are horrible.

Aside from that I’ve worked with JAVA I can’t recall what we used before FX but both were terrible.

In the JS CSS environment I can literally make an interface that doesn’t look like ass by simply using the standard setup in a front end with very few lines of code.

I guess a think like Blazor.net might make wasm competitive, but unlike JS, that requires Microsoft not to drop it in a year because they don’t have the OS movement JS does.

I understand why people dislike the package he’ll of modern JS, but so far, it’s proven itself to be just as trustworthy as any curated library.

On the other hand you’re not tied down in JS. When Microsoft made entity they wanted people to use it, even though it’s fucking awful. In JS you can very easily replace a component if something better comes along. That’s a great strength.

Graphql has been really instrumental for us for instance. We operate apps in low connective environments, so being able to only transfer what is needed is really great.

Graphql isn’t JS only, but it takes very little time and effort to setup an Apollo, graphql and vue app, and it’s got very few issues. The .Net integration of graphql is still a 3rd party library that doesn’t really work that well and isn’t easy to use.

That’s the thing with JS, it’s just really productive in the real world.

Blazor.net looks really productive, but it’s only productive when you don’t need it to do something Microsoft hasn’t thought of, and it’s the only WASM integration that I’ve seen that is even remotely competitive with JS.
Capitalism is built on the belief that ownership creates value and thus entitles owners to some portion of the value created in perpetuity. In a free market profit should be driven to zero through competition. As a result capitalism requires constant growth.

And so in the same way 'it is easier to imagine the end of civilization than to imagine the end of capitalism' the idea that we could survive for even a year without exploiting the planet beyond steady-state seems so unrealistic as to not be mentionable.

You might similarly ask why app stores on iOS and Android are such a big deal, and why Steam is even a thing.

It's because deployment is a harder problem than development (at least, it's harder for developers, because deployment is a social problem). The web is a pretty poor development target (though it keeps getting better), but it's a damn terrific deployment medium, and that's a winning tradeoff.
If the Democrats think like that Trump’ll win again in 2020.
Electron is popular among developers who mainly know JavaScript. It's popular when someone already has a web app or has to build one anyway. It's popular among people who think it's better for their app to look the same on every platform than to integrate well. It seems to be pretty unpopular among people who have experience writing native apps.

Mightn't this indicate that life on Mars is less, not more, likely than we thought? Respiration is complicated, so I would expect any life that might have existed on Mars to be anaerobic. If there's actually enough oxygen to support aerobic life, that doesn't bode well for any anaerobic life, does it?

A good analogy she may grok easily could be comparing her plan data to her water usage and comparing her phone storage to the kitchen sink.

The sink can only hold so much water at once, but she can use more/less water each month than the sink can hold. If the sink is full, she has to drain some water to be able to add more. Also, if she uses too much water, she may be charged more than she was expecting.

I've explained storage vs data this way to a few people and it seems to have been useful.

Ok, so we put the change font button always in sight? What else are we going to put in the UI?

I also thought I needed the Gmail app? didn't Google stop with any open protocols? (xmpp, imap, carddav?)

An iTouch? Please... And should Apple change their core UI for everyone because some people are almost blind? Sure they can be accommodating, perhaps a button can be placed somewhere, or better a Siri instruction for people with poor sight to activated a more clear UI. But don't change the UI for everyone because of this.

Would Siri understand a mispronounced street name? Who asks their phone for directions anyway? And why does she need help when the street is already on her screen? What at that point would help her? Seems like the iPhone was pretty helpful.

Ok, I'm starting feel sorry I even gave this any attention so I'm going to stop.
You can! I don’t find it very pleasant, myself. But you absolutely can.
Given how broad this effect, it seems like an amazingly good mechanism to attribute to a pet peeve of your choice: screen time, chemicals, lack of good old-fashioned memorization, boring playgrounds/toys, lousy education, lack of exercise, the decline and fall of practically everything, etc. Couple that to a golden opportunity for older people to self-praise ("In my day we weren't as dumb/sheltered/poisoned as you folks") and you have the perfect storm.

Making these fond arguments slightly more awkward is the fact that this effect doesn't seem to be happening in America, but I suppose all you youngsters lacked the attention span to read all the way to the end of the article. Now get the hell off my lawn.
