This perceived simplicity of only having a single non-scalar datatype comes at the cost of increased complexity when you have to stuff a square peg into a round hole, i.e., when you approximate other data structures with tables.

My favorite example are arrays in Lua: They are hashtables, but not quite (in the implementation, every hashtable has a separate array region). They look like hashtables, but not quite (there's syntactic sugar to help dealing with them). You can use hashtable-functions on them, but they don't quite work (which is why there are special functions for when you want to treat a hashtable as an array). Hashtables are great for unordered maps and sets, but they're a crappy replacement for ordered sequences.

> Python is the classic example here, where you have tuples using parens, arrays using square brackets, and dictionaries using curly brackets. At some level that is clever, but at another level it is a cause of confusion.

If that confuses you, then the source of the confusion is you not having a clear understanding of the intended semantics of your code or datastructure. Mixing all of that into a single type won't help here.
Facebook can "show off" and develop a reputation as having interesting, technically innovative, meaty, challenging projects to work on which is useful for recruitment purposes.
> The obvious benefit for adopting USB-C is compatibility with other devices.

Not an obvious benefit for a largely wireless device. For the vast vast majority of people it’s only used for charging and that’s moving to wireless too.
What could work is to drink water with your old cup of coffee. That might sounds bullshit but, but your body is accustomed to have the coffee cup in hands. It like a smokers that have to have somthing between his fingers, and that's why they end up by eating some junk food (not all of them of course)
I'm not sure it is a minority opinion, I just think it's so ingrained in us at this point we don't stop and notice. Perhaps it's having a kid, but I've recently been thinking on a regular basis that at some point in the future people will look back on the Advertising Age and wonder why anyone put up with what is essentially lying to encourage you to do something you probably don't need to.

I get why advertising exists and I think it probably did and can fill a need in a limited way but the incentives are all wrong. Ideally advertising would be a way of leading all buyers of mousetraps to the best mousetrap. Instead it is a way for the lesser mousetrap manufacturers/ the lazy/ the actively evil to foist inferior products on people via emotional appeals. We have homes filled to the brim wth crap we don't need because advertising suggests this next product will remove that existential dread or feeling of emptiness or impostor syndrome from your life.
Who would have thought an optimizing compiler would optimize.
Yeah, even a "Select All" button that checks all checkboxes requires Javascript.

Aside: I don't understand the premise of this thread that suggests it's a "SPA" just to, say, use React on a single page of an application. The whole basis of the "SP" in "SPA" is that the Javascript (state) spans multiple pages.
What is the distinction between low latency networking commonly used in supercomputers today and cloud computing?

What is the cutoff?

I've commonly seen 500 microsecond latency between certain AWS zones. That's pretty impressive. Inside a given zone, 200-300 microseconds isn't uncommon.
That's true; I do have a Steelseries Nimbus, although it feels a bit jank compared to console controllers from other companies.
The Air of my wife was the worst computer we've owned, yellow display with dark areas, Wifi basically doesn't work anywhere and trackpad broken in a short amount of time.
The key feature that drove me to buy the 12.9" iPad Pro last year was the ability to read and mark up PDFs without having to constantly zoom/move it around. Old eyes.

I also use it to create routes for road trips for my Jeep club: it's really nice to have my GPS app and a satellite view side by side as I look for interesting back roads.

In short: I bought a Ferrari and use it like a Civic.
Yea, I mean if this were a paid service with full ActivityPub and OStatus support (and could interact with Mastodon, Plemore, GNU Social, et. al.) then that would be something different.

But a $5 a month, non-open source, closed, siloed system?

I'd recommend going back to the drawing board and use more off-the-shelf stuff. Create a payment gateway to setup and maintain a Mastodon or Plemore instance, with a backend that automatically sets up the domain and handles software updates.

Yes, there are other services which do this, but there is plenty of room to do it better. Creating a new micro-twitter is pretty much a non-starter at this point.
Compatibility with Steam games was one of the big reasons I recently switched from Fedora to Ubuntu. Don't get me wrong, there's a great community behind Fedora's Steam support and I'm glad to hear it works for you, but I found a few things to be a bit more "fiddly" than they needed to be (the fact that I'm running on an Optimus laptop surely doesn't help).

Agreed on Gnome 3.30, I know desktop environments are controversial around these parts for some reason but I think it's fantastic.
> I would actually argue that most of the Python data science toolchain is years behind what is available in R.

I do not want to litigate this on HN, but the problem with R is the toolchain around your data science work.

You've fit a model in R, and that's great! Now how do you get it into a real-time system? Or how do you test the software you wrote to train the model?

Nope. Apple would need to do a pretty decent amount of work on iOS to support desktop like behavior. I'm not sure if there's much sales incentive either. Which is a shame because Apple got where it is by pushing the best possible user experiences. Not blind sales maximization.

I've owned both and the iPad Pro was better for me in almost every way. The main issue with the Surface Pro is the horrid windows software eco-system, especially around touch interfaces. Almost without exception windows touch apps are terribly designed.

I live in BCN now and I think Airbnb is really the biggest issue - the other things don't really affect you if you stay out of Las Ramblas, Barceloneta etc.

I moved from Sagrada Familia to Guinardo and its much nicer and not yet affected by the tourism etc.

It must suck to own a house in Barceloneta or something as it has changed completely although you would probably be able to sell it for a lot more money than it used to be worth I suppose.
"Edge to edge glass" doesn't mean there's literally no physical edge banding around the screen. The iPhone X models with their "all-screen design" still have a stainless steel edge band. The iPad pro clearly still has a metal edge.

The device you seem to be imagining where the glass runs all the way to the edge with no edge banding doesn't exist, and would be an ugly and unpleasant device if it did, as the edges would reveal the electronic innards (and heaps of glue).
I can't imagine XCode could run in the RAM available on an iPad — maybe rework it to do the heavy lifting in the cloud?

its not everyones cup of tea, but, emacs can connect to notebooks: https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook

If I am just poking around I use a Jupiter notebook. If I have to do a lot of prototyping, I use the emacs plugin. So the muscle memory typing works.

I find the whole "notebooks are a revelation!" thing kind of amusing, given that we have had REPLs for a long time. emacs is just a big REPL if you know elisp. But, yeah, ein is great.
Yes, my wildest dream is that they will release XCode with developer's tools (i.e. compilers), my laptop will be gone that exact second.
We might be talking about different kinds of conservative Christian, then. White evangelicalism is for the most part strongly authoritarian and highly dogmatic. That makes it possible for them to believe entirely contradictory things as long as it accords with the desires of the powerful. And I'd agree that most people who identify as conservative are using that term differently than I would like to, although I think that's a bit of a lost battle.

With evidence, I'd certainly believe Torba was a cryptofascist from the get-go. There are plenty of them out there "hiding their power". But I haven't seen that evidence yet, and the way his COO, Sanduja, stuck with him from founding through a few months ago, makes me think that Torba wasn't a fourteen-words type when he started.

That said, I don't think "good faith" is what I'm describing here. Right-wing doublethink requires strong compartmentalization and a refusal to reconcile one's positions and actions. If someone ardently believes in and espouses a free speech message, but only happens to put in work when it advantages white men, are they truly free speech advocates? I'd say no. Are they lying? Also no. For me "good faith" would require sufficient self-examination that they could detect and self-correct when espoused principles contradict behavior.

So it's possible to me that Torba believed in the free-speech message sufficiently to a) espouse and promote it effectively, and b) attract other people who were entirely sincere about it. But if that's the case, I also believe he was on the path of self-radicalization when he started it, and has only gone further down that road.
>less than 14 MB

It's kind of crazy to me that even that's considered low
I just don't understand why they would release all-new phones literally 2 months ago with Lightning ports, but then release iPads with USB-C. Makes no sense, especially with how they market the X-family as "future-proof". Clearly they aren't. They should have gone with USB-C all around.
Wildlife thrive near Chernobyl because normal human activity is more destructive than that radiological disaster has been.
You're not the only one. I also like a bit of a bezel or "chin" on my phones, because it makes holding the device with one hand for e.g. taking photos much more secure.

Even if that's true, the game has had incredible longevity. That expansion came out 14 years(!) after the original release of the game. I'm sure the player base isn't what it used to be, but that has to be some kind of record.
>I don't really understand what market this Air is hoping to target.

i'm assuming it's meant to target the people buying the $1300 macbook pro, so they can get rid of that model and ratchet up the prices of the pro models while still having a 13" laptop that works for most poeple.
Same. I primarily use a desktop for gaming these days, but also do iOS development. My dream machine would be a Mac Mini with an eGPU.

I'm looking to do a gaming rig rebuild soon, and was excited to see a new Mac Mini before I made my decision. These prices though....I'll just build a mini-ATX myself.
I agree, large scale political action is the only sustainable fix. Included in this needs to be an effort to switch to a renewable energy economy. This would potentially transform both our environment and the incomes of lower class people. Wind already employs double the number of people as coal in the US.

We need to end the use of coal and natural gas, thereby eliminating mountain top removal mining and fracking both of which destroy their surrounding environment and dump massive amounts of waste into the water supply harming the species that live there. Initiate a gradual tax on petroleum based cars and then use that tax to fund the adoption of electric ones. Provide tax incentives for switching to electric vehicles.

Add a gradual tax to beef and pork while slowly using that to subsidize organic farming startups. Widespread pesticide use in farming is decimating the insect population. Government subsidized closed system farm startups would help as they limit waste and encourage the reuse of water and soil.

Attempting to limit population via government mandate at this stage can only lead to a dystopian bitter society and IMO is not the route to go as it attempts to override natures prime directive driving discord and civil unrest unless we are willing to also accept enforcement along the lines of the Chinese model; which personally I am not.

Dumping chemical waste into streams and rivers should be politically removed as an option.

If all of this took place only in the US it would have a massive affect as we are essentially tied with China as the worlds largest polluters. Our scientific advances in attaining the green economy would trickle down into the developing nations, especially if we stopped exporting coal.
No it doesn't.

In fact C++ allows for flexible memory allocation strategies per data structure, while C forces one to hand code them all and replacing something like malloc affects the whole executable behavior.
Unit Testing Custom Xamarin.Forms Controls
According to https://www.oxfordenergy.org/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2011/0..., it seems that there is a positive correlation between GDP per capita and carbon emissions per capita at first, but the correlation stops after that and becomes neutral. In the UK and US, for example, carbon emissions per capita remained roughly constant over a 50 year period even as GDP per capita increased significantly.
This, exactly this. Completely goes against their marketing pitch that X-family devices are "future-proof". They just contradicted that entire line of thought by adding USB-C to iPads. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they did! But pissed that my XS is still using Lightning.
Yes, I'm definitely not saying that it can't or shouldn't be used for embedded applications, memory and speed constraints permitting, just that I never heard anyone recommend it as being more useful for that purpose than languages that explicitly target that niche. I also think that GP rather confused "embedded language" with being a language particularly suited for embedded systems development than having heard it being touted as such.

The GP obviously ran into some obstacles using Lua 5.1 for systems programming, though, and my point is that his experience probably doesn't reflect the overall utility of the language as much as it presents a case of "the wrong tool for the job".

of course there are many semantically equivalent ways to translate from C to assembly, and the optimizer may chose in surprising ways. But the point is that when you write your functions, there is always an obvious assembly representation that should be in your head.
I installed CBeebies on my iPhone and looked at the pi-hole to see what type of DNS requests it was making when the app was opened (I haven't clicked on a single thing in the app)

* graph.facebook.com

* analytics.localytics.com

* api.branch.io (analytics & ads)

* app-measurement.com (analytics, maybe ads too?)

* ssl.google-analytics.com

* settings.crashlytics.com (perhaps benign)

So right off the bat Facebook and Google are both siphoning off data from the use of this app among other 3rd parties. Did you know that?
What is the reasonable defense against this?

Intercepting firewalls like bluecoat are notoriously overbroad (and arguably open up MITM attacks on https). Desktop/laptop malware scanners notoriously use up CPU at murphaicly inconvenient moments.

Educating users is great, but attacks are getting sophisticated and it only takes one mistake.

Absent great intrusion detection, which I assume is not trivial, one that mistake is made, you have big problems. What is a realistic approach?
Interesting read.

I used to drink enormous amount of coffee at my previous work (5-6 cups a day) and the overall anxiety just became part of my daily life. Then I decided to go on cold turkey which lasted for about 3-4 months. First weeks were rough, imposter syndrome kicked in like crazy and I wasn't able to focus at all.

Now I have my morning cup of coffee with L-Theanine and that's it for the day. It lasts, the anxiety is gone and overall effect is magnificent.
To be fair, what slows down compilation is not "the sheer existence" but the extensive use of large and complex #include files.
> I could make a product, you can use it for free, I will try to make money selling consulting services around the product (you can compete with me on that!) just don't sell the software.

I agree that even if it's not FOSS, this is a healthy and reasonable way to profit from software. Unfortunately, the Commons Clause explicitly forbids this healthy use.

“Sell” means...to provide to third parties, for a fee or other consideration (including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software), a product or service whose value derives, entirely or substantially, from the functionality of the Software

Imagine that you create new a new project greatly improving Commons Clause software, offer it for free, and offer paid consulting exclusively on your project, while refusing any work that involves consulting about the code you didn't write. That would still violate the license, which says that only the original license holder can do consulting on anything that's substantially derived from the core code. As written, there's no way at all to make money downstream from Commons Clause code, no matter how much value you add.

RAID6 should be fine rebuilding online (in RAID5 mode) even under a moderate write load.

Of course one should source RAID disks form 3 different vendors, to ensure that they are from different batches, and are not going to fail at approximately the same time.
Nope, this is about usage statistics. Fedora was huge years ago, but Ubuntu has taken the "easy" desktop user, Arch has taken the power user and there's a ton of competition in the server space, with CentOS being an effective drop-in replacement.

Fedora just doesn't really have a home anymore and hasn't done anything to really set itself aside from the competition.

It still is - in the judicial system.

There has never been and never will be such a presumption in private enterprise. We can fix it if you want, but you won't like the amount of Government control over industry that would require.

Also, I realize "unverified accusation" is a commonly used distracting turn of phrase, but that hardly seems appropriate here:

> ...an official at X told her, per the Times, that “her account was ‘more likely than not’ true and that ‘appropriate action’ was taken.” Simpson says she was asked by officials at Google not to speak about the incident again. In a statement to the Times, DeVaul apologized for his “error of judgment.”

Sounds like verified, and admitted by the guilty party.

I would argue that for product sites like this we have massively regressed over the last 10-15 years.
