I would definitely like to live in a country where everyone who has a talent is able to learn and develop their skills for a decade or so and then start contributing something amazing back. But I would say that this is the case for no more than 6% of all people in the US. In all fields (from carpentry to opera).

What are you talking about? Apple won't allow developers to do any such thing. They only recently allowed a narrow range of NFC uses even though the hardware itself has been there forever. You think they're going to let people develop your own kernel drivers? Maybe with a $10,000 "hardware developer" account.

You cram these words into mine ears against the stomach of my sense...

There are no paintings of Shakespeare that are definitively him. Nobody knows what he looks like. Sure we have images but we have images of Jesus Christ too, again not too definitive.

This looks like the effort of someone wanting to get a few extra Twitter followers. It does not look like the effort of someone who has taken the time to study the smallest of sonnets, never mind try and get through the complete works.

Studying Shakespeare is hard, it requires understanding big words and dedication. It is in a totally different realm of intellectual pursuit to Googling a few hacky python scripts together. What next, putting Dickens in a colostomy bag?
That got me too. There is a real disconnect when I am swiping down on my magic mouse and the page is going sideways. They broke their own HIG with this one...
And yet we regulate swear words and nude imagery on broadcast television because the airwaves are a limited public resource.

First ammendment absolutism in the face of rapidly changing technology is way more tiresome.
And yet, nobody has done the same for Twitter until now.

The difference is that twitter applies a series of operations to all uploaded image, stripping EXIF data, recompressing, etc., which would normally be difficult to work around.
Building the MFT first is pretty much what I want to do. But I'm not aware of any utilities that can handle it, nor where to start with writing it myself...

I have a project where I routinely need to copy large amounts of data (3 to 8 TB) to a hard drive. Problem is, my files are all 512kb. So this is much slower than it could be...

If I write it as a single tar file I get excellent throughput, but the users who need to be able to work with the drive are unable to handle a tar file. They need to be able to plug the drive into a Windows computer and have it "just work".. which presents some problems.
If this is the biggest issue you've encountered, consider yourself lucky.

Why didn't you just roll it out yourself? I would've just checked the boxes and moved on to something else.

I'm pretty sure the Linux kernel, BSD kernels, MySQL, Postgres, gcc, etc. will all be with us for quite a while. A few years ahead things won't be written in TLA+ or Coq because they're not even programming languages. Lamport is very explicit that TLAx is a specification language, and the central component of Coq (Galina) is too, so the name-dropping doesn't really make your case more convincing. C should definitely not be the only or even primary language people learn, but it's pretty critical to understanding how things work today and will continue to work for at least the next decade.

> Wouldn't be better to offer a list of options

I do believe I already said something like that. Yep, just checked. I did. The point is that, even if it's only an option, the question of how to teach it is still important.

> That's not how programming works today.

In your opposite-of-humble opinion, which is wrong. In fact, implementing things that are already pretty well known is exactly how programming is taught. Everywhere. In all languages. Students learn about pitfalls, and tradeoffs, and why "this" is easy/common but "that" is hard/rare. If you want to teach C, you have to teach C as it is used and why. A language is far more than just syntax you can learn from a book. Any student who has actually implemented a "basic language feature" in C is better equipped to understand how that implementation of that feature in a particular other language represents only one set of decisions within that space, and that others are possible. I'd say that's pretty important knowledge. Programmers who just settle for "it's magic" and "that's how it is" are never going to be very good programmers.
Inspection Paradox (2015)
I'm building something that's very single-page app for the first time. A project to use flask, sqlalchemy, and ajax and really just do some fun flashy things, not necessarily practical things, but I do feel like the SPA space is much better than last I'd looked. I definitely see how it's easy to create something bad in a SPA doing it all yourself. My code right looks like that horse, with 500 lines of jquery full of repeating functionality still in snippet form. But really, the horses face is just as ugly as his ass.
I switched from OSX to Ubuntu/Unity a few years ago, and recently switched to Fedora/Gnome. I found the transition from osx pretty efortless, and would say I prefer Gnome over Unity.

> Error HandlingAn MPA renders a 500 page upon error and that's it. However, an SPA needs to detect errors in the client code and then update the user interface accordingly. Again, busywork required to regain what MPAs offer out of the box.

I'm no gilded dev, but 5 years back when PHP wasn't avoided like the black plague we would still need to update user interface handling these internal server errors. It's judt good design practice.

I more or less agreed/understood with the writer up to that point. Everything else past this just sounded like a argument for argument's sake.
The problem with that is that the helium doesn't do anything special. Just damage/destroy the phone some other way. You're not exploiting its special ability to look completely broken but then magically repair itself in a few weeks.
This article isn't great.

First, it illustrates an MRI story with a (mislabeled) picture of a CT scanner.

Then, it overestimates the volume of gas expelled by a factor of 1000.

170L X 750 = 90k L = 90m^3.

This would fill a 35m^2 (about 350 sq ft) room, maybe the size of a living room, with pure helium.
This is great news. Waymo chose to expand to Mountain View for their second location because their HQ is in that location then I presume?
Wow, read the book years ago (books actually, there are four that I remember but the first is by far the best) and you just brought me back to the emotional impact of that particular story. It was powerful. The story of Rachel and her Merlin's sickness also. The story of the priest, the cruciform parasite and the bikura was viciously disturbing on the other hand.

It sounds as if a switch was replaced so network connectivity was lost for 40 seconds (a partition if you will). The network recovered but during the 40 seconds a lot of "things" had to queued and processed and things cascaded out of control.
Whenever people talk about CAP they seem to spend time thinking about behavior when there is a partition, and that's neat an all, but the real challenging parts come when the partition is healed, and people don't seem to spend enough time thinking about that mode of execution.
> I am inclined to agree. Go to CVS or Best Buy or something to buy a USB cable, and you'll probably get an expensive piece of garbage just like on Amazon.

I totally agree you can get overpriced crap from physical retail. However, unlike Amazon, it's much less likely to be dangerously substandard, counterfeit, or outright fraudulent like many of the items in the below search.

In my admittedly sharply limited experience, at least one party to any such conversation genuinely believes they are acting in good faith and for mutual gain. This even includes things like people trying to get me to vote for a candidate I think is unsuitable. Or for a policy I think more likely to worsen the problems the canvasser wants to solve.

I think there may be more room for subtlety here. I've known plenty of marketers in my life. Most of them have genuinely believed that what they were marketing was something to improve the lives of the would-be customer and were acting in good faith to make the prospective customer aware of this. This ice cream? It'll taste good! This salad? Nutritious and filling! This video game or book? Hours of entertainment! This cheap beer? It can lubricate the social events you value!

Are there exceptions to this? Absolutely! Philip Morris springs immediately to mind. It may be excessively cynical to dismiss all advertisements as deliberately deceptive, not for mutual gain, or in bad faith is all.

I see this as more of a reminder of the strength of our immune system than a failure of any particular technology. As a recent post on HN said, fall in love with the problem, not the solution. Whether or not CRISPR works, there’s an enormous community of people who devote their lives to treating genetic disease, which is the underlying problem. At the same time, I’m glad my body has the ability to stop some random bacteria from editing my genome with minimal effort.

The government can limit speech if they have a compelling reason (the governments reasoning outweighs the persons freedom of speech, think yelling fire in a crowded theater). If the government has a compelling reason they can only limit the speech in the most narrowly tailored way to accomplish their goal and still allow the most freedom of speech possible.

Always good to see more capital structures and options for both founders and investors. I think this case could really benefit from some concrete examples (numbers) of deal terms, and also scenarios in which bootstrappers would want to accept this kind of capital. The YC->VC model is well understood, but it’s not clear when and why bootstrappers would want to raise money under these terms.

I too love idealism, but I have to wonder just how broken things have to get before people begin to accept that a thing that sounds good in theory just doesn't work right in the real world?

In theory, unregulated free markets are always self-correcting. In theory, socialism works great. In theory, uninhibited free speech is one of the pillars of a free society.

So if we start seeing torrential downpour of misleading ads with a "paid for" line that's a total lie, making it harder still for people to figure out what positions actually do belong to a candidate, will that be broken enough then?

I mean, we've already got pharmaceutical advertising, massive media conglomerates muddying the waters, and a huge rise in hate speech that's dehumanizing people to the extent that they're being mass-murdered.

We already accept a number of reasonable limits on speech. Society hasn't imploded yet, at least not for that reason, anyway. I think you've gotta do better here than "it's a slippery slope".

>GovCloud seems like it's just some box-checking activity to ensure that there aren't any foreigners interacting with the system.

This is exactly it; it's a compliance thing. GovCloud is compliant with various regulations that the government has for its data handling and storage

GovCloud is used by private entities that are doing business with the government - for example, contractors.
Back in the day (iOS 3-4 ish?) you used to be able to install Cydia packages that would patch whatever exploit the Jailbreak originally used.

The freedom Facebook enjoys is not really the freedom of speech. It is the freedom of the press, the freedom to publish. Same amendment, different purpose.

What is less clear is: to what extent is Facebook the press? The press, in 1789, could not send you push notifications. It was not gamified with the intent of increasing user engagement. It was not interwoven with a person's private communications with their friends. It did not encourage users to build "profile pages" on which they hang their reputations and opinions. Someone might have seen you reading The Federalist Papers, but everything else was up to you.

Any of these provides a legal avenue to regulate Facebook without cheapening the broad freedoms prescribed to actual publishers. James Madison never dreamed that a Senator would send messages to his constituents that make their phones buzz when they aren't being looked at. In my unvarnished opinion, that's not freedom of the press, it's something else.
at least a couple years back using a surface pro 3, windows apps was clearly not up to handle hi-resolution displays: the majority of apps I was using that wasn't VS Studio (7zip, notepad++, eclipse, etc) was completely unusable (especially by means of touch) without screwing around with scalability settings, and swapping it to various percentages depending on the app I was using. I vaguely remember firefox being acceptable but poor as well, but I'm not too sure about that one

Dunno the state now, but that experience makes me reluctant to look at higher end laptops with windows. Otherwise its just generally clunkier and weaker integration of the terminal, but those don't hurt nearly as much as the inconsistent rendering for using a daily driver

It's refusal to tell me what file/program is stopping me from safely removing my hdd is also absolutely infuriating

Good point- This is an affiliate link. I actually don't want the money from Amazon from the referral link, I signed up for Amazon Associates for the API access to their product catalog for a side project.

You’re probably an English major living with his parents, unable to find work, and currently enrolled in a tech bootcamp because you saw that those nerds you went to school with who didn’t have time for Shakespeare and Dostoevsky are now making buckets of money.

Does this happen to other cars with auto pilot? I am just curious what the fixation with Tesla is.
