How does your team (E.g., the people on the hook for reviewing/supporting/contributing to your project) feel about the change?

This is a big difference when moving from Go. A language that nobody calls beautiful, but is very easy for a team to contribute to and support (relative to other languages).

Well, at least for purposes of determining whether e.g. a culture of harsh criticism in a particular open-source project is turning away more women than men, it only matters whether it affects women more strongly than men, not why. The questions can be investigated separately.

For the latter question, cross-cultural studies would help, as would experimenting with sex hormones, looking at people of one sex with conditions that give them a hormonal balance more matching the other sex, possibly studying transgender people, etc.
TERF can still apply. Men can be feminist. (Feminism calls for equal rights, so men should be feminist.)
The meaning of the word "stabilize" isn't clear from the article, despite being used 12 times in the body and once in the title.

It would have been easy to make the article more clear. Simply explain what aspect of Bitcoin is supposed to stabilize.

Given the unending fascination with the USD/BTC exchange rate, it can be assumed that the author is referring to this metric. The inclusion of the heading "Does the price of Bitcoin have a Nash equilibrium?" also supports this idea.

However, if this is the case, why does the author include the following quote the middle of the article:

Why has Amazon stabilized, and will bitcoin do the same? When Amazon shares debuted back in 1997, earnings were non-existent. […]

The USD price of AMZN has in no way stabilized:

http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?s...

As you can see, it's a concave-upward curve, punctuated by various declines, all the way back to 2003.

This may sound like hair-splitting, but I think there's a real possibility the author is actually talking about USD/BTC exchange rate volatility. This is an animal of a completely different stripe.
The new study by Tkalčić and Phạm is cool work, but it's not even the first observation of PKJKP, so this press coverage is irresponsible. The "perspective" by Irving accompanying the Tkalčić and Phạm paper is pretty readable and BS-free: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6412/294
Editing in general no, changing the answer is. You get rebuked and told to post your own.
Rust is the answer to the question "can we have speed, correctness, and expressiveness in one language?" My company has been running Rust in production for awhile now, and it's exceeded every expectation. It's fast, it's safe, and it's so productive it's hard to find a reason to use anything else.

We've also found that the learning curve is, in our opinion, a bit overstated. We've ramped up several new grads on Rust with the O'Reilly Rust book. We see real productivity in about two weeks, which is actually faster than it was to ramp them up on our C++ code base. The compiler errors are amazing and it's almost like giving them a built in tutor.

I'm very bullish on Rust becoming the language of choice in the 2020s for everything from operating systems, web services, desktop applications, and more. It's that good.

> The gold standard here is Undo. You have to shake your iPhone (or giant iPad Pro) to undo an action. You discover this by accident as you get up from a restaurant table with your phone in your hand, only to be greeted with an Undo Typing dialogue box. Unless you are an expert, you have no idea what just happened.

Wow I have been an iPhone user for many years now, spend several hours a day using my phone (according to their new screen time metrics), and I did not know this!
So what's the problem exactly?
> My parents called the police, a detective came out and interviewed my sister.

And this is what is supposed to happen. Unfortunately, there wasn't a conviction (two of the proverbial 10 guilty free), but your sister has far, far, far more credibility than if she contacted law enforcement in 2040 when one of them was in the public spotlight, or about to be promoted. Everything about her and your parents behavior in that situation is very consistent.

> she called The Washington Post, contacted her congressman, and wrote a letter to her senator in July. Right after Kavanaugh was nominated.

Exactly. Assume -- just for a minute -- that Ford is lying.

At what point would she have accused Kavanaugh? 1982? 1983? 1984? 1985? 1986? 1987? 1988? 1989?...2012? 2013?...Jan 2018? Feb 2018? Mar 2018?...Or July 2018?

Obviously that she waited until July 2018 doesn't prove she's wrong. It's just circumstantial.

Agreed. Or Ford's explanation of a phobia of flying so intense she nearly couldn't leave her hometown.

The red curve is an average price. The first chart states that BTC would be $10,000 on 22-11-2017. On that day, the price was $8310. The prediction was made in 2014, so this is pretty accurate I must say. There is also a belief that the reason for inaccuracy of the first chart is because of a hardfork (Bitcoin Cash), that "ate" part of the Bitcoin's market. Afaik, the second chart was made by the same author a few days ago. It's obviously different, because it takes recent prices into consideration.

I'm not sure what you mean by "not JS compatible" here.

TypeScript obviously compiles into JavaScript, and any valid JavaScript is also "valid" compilable TypeScript (the compiler will complain, but it will still compile it into JavaScript that does the same thing). With the right assertions (and @ts-ignore where necessary), you can even get the compiler to stop complaining!

TypeScript does have some differences beyond just type annotations: namespaces and enums come to mind. But it's easy enough to just not to use those features - they're not even supported by Babel.

The main downside is that you have a compile step where you might not have had one before. And it can be frustrating to deal with situations where there's no way to "fix" an error except by suppressing it – but these are really rare. But these are relatively minor issues.
Ditto. I complain a lot about Apple software lately, but have to admit I'm turning on 3D touch for this.
It's true that most Lenovo laptops come with horrendous, low resolution, TN panels. Some models come with IPS variants (like the i7 x230)

I guess it's fine for me because I spent most of my time in the terminal so no GUI with tons of icons but I can see how it could be a problem for other workflows.
I don't choose entirely based on stars, but I'll take a look at the one with more stars first.

An example is https://github.com/indexzero/node-portfinder vs https://github.com/sindresorhus/get-port

I have very little interest in most of the differences in features, and the cost of switching is low in the future. So I'll just go with node-portfinder because it has more stars. ( I also notice the forks count is higher)

There's a search box at the bottom of the page. Have you tried that?
Hmm that is beyond understanding. I thought they wanted to make it look like a demonstration of power to all would-be critics. If they wanted to make it look like they weren't involved, aren't there much less risky ways to assassinate someone than to do it while they are visiting your consulate?
Thank you!

There's nothing particularly "exclusive and not inclusive" about Hacker News' UI, it's just a basic forum. If it only offered an API and required users to write their own clients, you might have a point about it filtering out nontechnical users who are willing to deal with a learning curve, but literally anyone who uses the web knows what they need to to use this site - type into a textbox, push a button.

4chan has an equally simplistic layout with arguably more of a learning curve than here, yet its culture doesn't have the qualities you describe.

The inverse correlation you're trying to draw between the simplicity of a site's layout and the intelligence of its userbase appears to be contradicted by lobste.rs, a more deeply technically oriented forum than Hacker News, which uses tags.
Also by simply reading most threads here, you'll find little more depth or intellectual insight to them than a similar thread on Reddit might provide.
It's downvotes because it's using false facts as a basis for opinion, and using weak logic to connect them. Fiat money is over 90years old, Bitcoin is deflationat by design, and neither of these facts matter. The open market is subject to manipulation (counterfeiting and cornering) as much as government fiat.
Presumably, that's a factor. But I doubt it is the entire explanation.
Yeah, but the states with no state income tax usually have high property taxes that are also capped in terms of deductions, no?
You're conflating a trivial function with a trivial API. The whole reason I jumped into this thread is because classnames is a great example of a trivial function with a non-trivial API. Yes, you do need to look up either the docs or the implementation to understand how to use it. I think my past examples made that clear.

What I'm saying is that it's EASIER to understand the source code than it is to understand the documentation for classnames. That's because it abstracts nothing away. It's replacing one simple API (template strings) with another one that's very similar and of roughly the same power. By turning it into a dependency you're adding an artificial barrier between it and your code base, that makes it harder for everyone to grok. Not much harder, but enough to be a pain in the ass in any codebase where that same tradeoff is made over and over.

If you can't understand that, then I don't know what to do for you. Keep writing shit JS code and making the web worse than it already is.
I do dig that 90s vibe, Dropbox’s current marketing campaign kinda doing something similar
> Medicare is not a decision making body. What are you talking about?

CMS absolutely is a "decision making body", with direct authority over a whole number of matters.

But even beyond its office authority granted by Congress, Medicare (both the people who run it and the people who generally support it) are incredibly influential as well, and they would use that influence to block any policy that would affect Medicare so negatively (even if it would be good for the public at large)

One of the allegations was that special purpose video encoder boards from a hardware startup that Amazon acquired (Elemental) were targeted. These aren't off the shelf boards that anyone can buy.
This is especially true for clay type soils that don't rebound as quickly or fully when compacted. When compacted beyond a certain pressure, the roots can't break through any longer. Small robots won't cause this though, it requires pretty high pressure. Consider an even smaller robot like 1-in wheel base, would that cause compaction?

> And who is going to fund them? As of now California tax payers are paying for pensions. Surely this is not a sustainable way of running things?

Why not the rest of public sector employees compensation comes out of tax revenues. The only reason pensions are unsustainable now is because in order to hide the cost of pensions the budgets underfuneded pensions years ago and the funds they did allocate they assumed extremely high returns on.
Vultr has it listed now officially. Don’t think you even need to upload the iso anymore.
Maybe things are different in the US, and your examples make sense. I don't live in the US thankfully and so I don't have to worry about these issues too much. Overall, where I live, governmental services are considerably less hell bent on convincing me that acting against my best interest is good for me and they won't go out of their way to manipulate me into doing those things. Every company I've worked at, not so much.
You can still get a Tacoma like that, I believe.
I think Apple intention was for people to grow with iOS. iOS has added more and more features, but if you started with an earlier version, and kept updating there are only minor changed to learn each time. Jumping into an iphone these days would be hard for someone coming from no smartphone.

Well to be fair it is just refitting not overfitting. If it was overfitting it would have heaps of free parameters and match the data really closely. The criticism should be what is the mechanistic explanation for why you would expect this logarithmic trend (for the log price, is that just linear or am I just confused?)

That's a wrong interpretation of this article IMO. When anytime income inequality is brought up, the point is not that we need to distribute the income equally, the point is that economy is primarily working for top 1% and not the bottom 99%. This means we need to find a solution so that it works for both classes. The incomes are NOT rising for bottom 99% in fact they are going down and that's a problem.
Really?

The cheap loaves of bread in australia are $1 (that's in dollarydoos - so it works out to 0.71c in the US.) There's no state sales tax beyond that -- and the minimum wage is 18.93 dollarydoos (13.38).
Ok, but honestly, where does Apple list the instructions for using iOS as well as the preinstalled apps? They believe their product is so easy to understand that people will just get it. But then they go and change things like where they put the autobrightness switch and even seasoned iOS users have to hunt for it. Or go on Reddit.

They just changed the battery page in settings. Where's the tutorial? An obvious place would be apple.com/batteries but I don't see it.
> Do you really think they have a production line where every week or so they create a different mother board adding this circuit?

No, I do not think that. I assume they hand modify a few boards at a time, just like the NSA.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...

Modifying every single board would violate one of the tenants of spying... it would make it much more likely for the implant to be detected.
These are actually false allegations which were originally spread by none other than Private Internet Access as part of a smear campaign. We have previously responded here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/8ww4h2/protonvpn...

As mentioned in Mozilla's blogpost, they did their homework and thoroughly checked ProtonVPN, including visiting us in Geneva at our main office, which also refutes these allegations.
I just can't fathom a huge market in stolen car parts. I do a lot of my own work and always just go to NAPA or maybe rockauto.com and buy any new parts I need.

Maybe there is a sizable black market of major parts (engines, transmissions, body panels) etc. to unscrupulous repair shops?
And this is why I don’t like this CoC. It reinforces the idea that religious people get to do what they want and the rest of us should just be quiet about it.

How exactly is it “intolerant” to object to a CoC that can only be followed by adherents of a particular religion?
No. It's a good way for a programming instructor to start a programming class. And there is nothing to "configure" in docker.
Theres a lot of armchair design going on here. Obviously there is some sort of balance between showing the user too many options or not enough and making the important stuff obvious without cluttering the UI. I imagine if Apple had gone too far in the other direction (which they would never do IMO) that people would complain there are too many options.

There is definitely room for improvement though. There are some regressions that are too obvious. The recent regression that comes to mind is forcing the end user to go through extra taps to switch the camera between front and back during a FaceTime call when previously it was a one-button click
You’re breaking the rules if you’re not Christian. How is that not discrimination?
We buy the book for them because we feel it's the best text out there, and they can get the 'Rust Book' for free on Rust's website, so that's two resources for them, plus being able to ask our already ramped up engineers questions.
and IIRC, that it was/is the "preferred" method because it's easier to pull off/harder to detect than most other methods.
The damage to the soil occurs mostly when turning, especially 180 degrees at the row end. The extent of damage depends on the wheels ability to articulate to the proper angles. The tracked vehicle can't change angles and pushes everything around. A bicycle is a cycle and has none of the turning drag encountered in 4 wheel vehicles or skid steers.
It hammers you on the head with it at the very beginning. There’s no need to “look for it,” it’s right there.
I would guess that you're spending a lot of time, angst and money on your 'image': flash watch, flash clothes, flash car, flash house. That's just normal for the "newly minted .... wealthy."

People who are born to money never need to display it. They have the quiet confidence that it's there when they want to use it, and never need to 'prove something'.

So their clothes are very often not flash, and maybe even a good brand that was picked up cheap at a Goodwill Store.

They might drive a good but quite old car that isn't/wasn't 'top of range' like maybe a 5-year-old Mercedes C-class. Why have an extra-expensive sports car? The C-Class is good enough for local driving up to say 300 miles. Anything further and you travel by air and very probably in Business Class.

Hi. Cloudflare Workers tech lead here.

No, process isolation does not work for us, because it does not scale well enough.

The point of Cloudflare Workers is to distribute your code across Cloudflare's entire edge network -- 154 locations and growing -- so that you can respond to requests at the closest location to your end user. We want to put every customer's code in every location, rather than forcing you to choose a handful. Meanwhile, obviously, not every one of our locations is a mega-datacenter.

This means we need a way to support extremely large numbers of tenants per machine, with relatively low traffic per tenant (because each tenant's traffic is spread out over the world). We need this to be efficient.

This means, we need low memory overhead (to support many tenants per machine), very fast cold-start time (since cold starts are a lot more common in a decentralized scenario), and low overhead to switch between workers (because we're mixing traffic from all our customers everywhere).

Using embedded V8 isolates within a single process gives us 10x-1000x better performance on all these metrics than if we gave a whole process to each customer.

Relatedly, here's a talk I gave at Heavybit about the neat things you can do when you have fine-grained server compute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZSvJNBZsxg
