Hmm, for google maps not knowing which streets are one-way - that is not true for Switzerland. Sending you to streets that you can't enter (and have to suddenly find ways around in heavy traffic) would render any city navigation effectively useless for me, and outright dangerous too.

It definitely works, at least I can confirm for bigger cities. Hopefully your (and other) areas will get updated soon with something as crucial.

It's most likely going to be like with ARM and be embedded only, sadly. There's a large number of us, not large enough though, that want a standard ATX motherboard, with PCI-Express and an ARM, RISC-V or PowerPC processor (well an affordable PowerPC).
Sorry, I honestly didn't mean to be snarky. It was a genuine question. I couldn't really see the real-case justification for testing a clock that slowed down, sped up, or went backwards. But you're right, malfunctioning clocks would be an example.

"Because most important crops reproduce only by sexual seed, they cannot be clonally propagated. "
This is entirely wrong, many important crops (infact all) can be clonally propogated and many are.
Patreon only really works if you have a personal following. People need to know that their contributions are going to someone real and who they respect.
for driving Waze is number 1 for me
I'm an active free user with over 10000 photos. Not had intention yet to upgrade to pro. It's simply more cheaper to buy two-three external hdd-s for multiple backups than paying annually for a backup service.

I somewhat expected this decision, because 1TB free storage sounds to good to be true from the very beginning. I know, I will loose all my edited photos, geotags, edited descriptions and all my additions on flickr. I've uploaded publicly thousands with them of points of interest and with free to use licence, but seems that there is nothing to do. All the photos will remain buried in a forgotten hdd, somewhere in the bottom of a case.
I use a GWT based application regularly which Smartclient appears to be. No thanks.

As for testing with selenium it's more the point that the entire thing is stateful so the user journeys are much more difficult to program which leads to horrible test coupling as you scale the suite out.

I suppose you have to ask: Do you have 22,000+ test cases?

From time to time there tends to arise a demand for news that are not "bad" or depressing or paints the world in a somber palette. However, I'm often reminded of this quote by George Orwell:

“Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.”

Perhaps news are inherently skewed towards the negative side, and that's the way it should be.
I think SPAs can be a decent choice for certain classes of applications, but this article seems really weird to me.

> Templating languages are basically smart string interpolators and have quirky syntax.

Well, yes, templating languages take a string + data and return another string. That's definitely true. What that actually means isn't clear. Especially when the followup "have a quirky syntax" doesn't have a particularly precise meaning (and may not be universally true) and also, the problem remains the same whether you address it on the server or in the client.

> We cannot use server side rendering any more — or can we? Let’s write endpoints that return HTML and not JSON.

I can't tell if that last part is sarcasm, or attempt to examine a potential avenue, or a complaint that one would have to multiply endpoints in order to return JSON or HTML instead of having a back-end that pays attention to the HTTP Accept header and has capabilities of returning different representations of the same resource.

> When to subscribe/unsubscribe from events. Otherwise we will run into memory leaks.

This is also hard to decipher -- is he talking about event listeners on replaced portions of a document?

> How to name things — when everything is dynamic, naming becomes hard.

As the saying goes, naming is one of the two hard problems in software. The browser is itself a dynamic environment with a dynamic primary runtime. There are languages that'll help or hobble you in the browser or on the server but that's orthogonal to whether you're choosing an SPA.

There might be a kernel of a worthwhile argument in here about component testing and isolation being more difficult if you're doing it on both the server and the client, but the rest of this seems thinly justified rather than reasonably explored.

Yes, you are definitely right.

My point is that people refer to being scientific or philosophic as being detached from ordinary people, as if scientists or philosophers would purposely want to be seen as different and hard to understand. ( e.g., see the critique on the Deep Learning academic community by Jeremy Howard during the Fastai DL courses - an example that pops up quite often here on HN).

How Automation Help Airports Increase Capacity and Improve Customer Experience
I assume that cheap flying drones are the weapons of the future, not just in military but police too. Small drones everywhere of all kinds. The drones would at least be semi-autonomous as having a human behind every single drone sounds expensive at scale.

Yes, and it took him 2 years as the developer of one of the biggest JS frameworks with thousands of users to reach that level. And even then, over 80% of his Patreon comes from 3 backers at 2000/mo and 18 backers at 500/mo. I assume those are all companies. The revenue he has from individual users is peanuts.
I think AlphaGo vs AlphaZero is a strong argument against this. AlphaGo used the best knowledge of humanity to try to tune its play and mix human expertise, and centuries of master level play, with the strength of deep learning systems. It seems like this would be ideal, particularly as per your analogy. Google certainly believed this as this is the system they directed their resources towards developing and then very publicly demonstrating.

AlphaZero was likely a curious aside at one point. The idea with AlphaZero is to throw everything out the window. Even the game itself is just generalized into a generic position->transition->terminal state system where most 'simple' (in terms of rules) games can be relatively easy replaced. There was no human heuristics, no human games to go from instead relying entirely on self training, and so on. Of course it ended up that AlphaZero became vastly stronger vastly faster than AlphaGo ever managed to.
A Generative Model of the Mutual Escalation of Anxiety Between Religious Groups
There seems to be two different discussions going in this thread. Frequent-flyer programs don't require to do any of reading blogs, watching YouTube or whatever. You just input your number at booking time (or later if you forgot or someone else booked for you). That's literally all there is to it. After a number of flights this gives you extra baggage allowance and line skipping and preferred treatment.

Maybe one day I'll book a flight with Avios, and when I do I'll have enough for sure, but I don't treat them like a perk.

Agree with the BA tools/site being terrible, it seems to be pretty consistent that this is the case across airlines.
I suppose I should point out that although the quote is often attributed to Orwell, there's no evidence that I know of the said it. A similar quote is also attributed to Harold Evans, during his time as Sunday Times editor.
"Make your boss a hero" is one of the most deranged things I hear managers say.

Why? If my bosses boss is happy with my boss then our department gets a bigger budget, more interesting projects and, most important, we get more autonomy and get left alone more. All of those things directly improve my quality of life. If I can keep my bosses boss off my bosses back, then my boss won't be on my back.

Near Manchester, UK. Most of the flights I get are to the US, so BA or AA and I can use my BA number on both airlines.

That said, when I need to get a flight somewhere else and there's no BA or AA flight convenient I just get the flight I want to get and don't sweat the loss of status building.

> they did exactly nothing to take advantage of that disparity

Oh come on, you cannot seriously believe that. Anyhow, I recommend you watch 'The Untold History of the United States' by Oliver Stone [0]. He has done a great job of telling people the stories that are not told in your history classes.
Not in the Netherlands.

Here any in-car navigation - even in my wife's 1 year old Seat Leon - is never as up-to-date as either of the major native Maps apps (Google or Apple). I exclusively use Apple Maps for navigating in the Netherlands (and elsewhere in Europe). I can count on one hand the number of times it's led us astray.

In fact, I think more like two fingers. The one time that stands out is navigating through back country in Croatia this summer. Both Apple Maps and Google Maps seemed to think a road existed that simply wasn't there, causing a massive detour to get home.

Otherwise, my experience of Apple Maps is completely the opposite to yours. Where have you been using it?

Edit: Also, OpenStreetMap is the best Maps data for anything off major roads here in Europe - it beats Apple and Google by a country mile. If you're going hiking or mountain climbing, OSM is much better.

That’s a misunderstanding of the spec. The ask is to put in at least one label if there is space (when previously there were none). Filling all available space with redundant labels is not the ask.
I mostly agree. The biggest problems with Waze are when it puts a three mile detour to turn around, and that it struggles to find a whole host of places compared to Apple/Google. Particularly small out of the way places. It just doesn’t have the granularity of smaller back roads.
A lot of people from "standard backgrounds" have the theoretical linguistics approach baked in to their literacy. Perl on the other hand has a much easier time adapting to varying thinking styles. Here's a comment I made about a former colleague's code earlier today:

> one thing people like about perl is it can shoehorn into pretty much any mental model. [ colleague ]'s model is quite solid but also pretty mental

There's something to be said for enforcing a certain kind of mental model. Java and C# do a terrible job of this. Python does a reasonable job. Ruby is just perl done differently - seems to make the "mental" part a bit easier. Personally aside from perl the programming I've most enjoyed is arduino flavoured C, but that's just for fun. I do perl for fun and profit.
I have always found interesting how some people seem to make an effort to justify to themselves - in all sorts of ways - their failure to grasp something.

Alan Kay is a supreme genius, there can be no question about that, but also an original and deep thinker who is not afraid of not falling inline with the prevailing ideology of the day. He is deeply rooted in the outside, the sphere of human thought and potential that iconoclastic transformative ideas spring from. And, here you come, unfavorably comparing him to Bret Victor rather than seeking to fill the gaps within you that do not let you appreciate what the genius is plainly talking about. In a way you are testament to the point Alan Kay is making. Your inability to grasp simple - yet unpopular and certainly not easy - ideas and your preference for easily-digestible material demonstrates the degree of cultural erosion in play today.

In a world where people like Tim Berners Lee are given the Turing award and people like Alan Kay are ostracized and ignored, languages like JavaScript and PHP proliferate whilst the best ideas behind Smalltalk and Lisp are still not widely used because the armies of 9-5 for-money “coders” are not in a position to appreciate them, in such a world you have people reaching for Bret Victor and describing an Alan Kay talk as boring. Sad state of affairs.
Maybe the nice thing about the old internet was that it felt distinct from the rest of life, instead of an integral part of it - or, frighteningly, much of the foundation. Bad things happened on the internet (or AOL, Prodigy, etc.) in 1994 but then I just signed off and went about my day. Also, it felt like something most people hadn't quite figured out yet and, well, of course it was going to attract eccentrics of all stripes - including some less savoury ones.

I loved the internet, and Prodigy, when I was a kid in the 90's and 12 year old me would be shocked to hear that sometimes I dream of going to a cabin with just a landline, radio, and desk for writing letters for a month.

I hate that! That makes it unnecessarily hard to copy order numbers and the like on my iPhone.

Phoning is legacy functionality, I almost never want to use a number as a phone number.

Copy/Paste on the other hand, that's very useful. I can copy the bits I want, anywhere I want, without dumb as hell software trying to guess what I actually want to do.

I think China will create an AI bubble, currently studying in Beijing and all EE and CS students I know focus all their time at either stats, ML or data mining. While I think China might have a big shot at the AI race, I don't think it's useful to have to only focus on AI because it's hot right now, they may lack progress in other fundamental fields that may lead to more important breakthrough and technological change.

I find SPAs much easier to work with, maintain, reason about, especially as the application grows. I have experience with both server side rendering with Java and with SPAs and for the majority of usecases I would prefer an SPA but maybe that is just me.

Greyhound has never 'innovated'. They have regular buses, with Wifi, and it's substantially cheaper than any other form of travel.

They don't have 'hostesses' because we don't have cheap labour.

This is more about plentiful cars, and expensive gas.

40 years ago not everyone had a car, now they do.

Gas was cheap, now it's more expensive driving the prices up somewhat.

Also, the economies in those areas have not kept up meaning it's difficult for them to keep up the demand.

It's an extremely low margin business any one piece fails, and it's up.

If you look at recent news and HN discussions, you'd be seeing some interesting patterns -

1. Tesla building its factory in Shanghai, China - "forced tech transfer, IP theft"
2. Xi pushes for AI, "it will be used for monitoring of lives of everybody"
3. 4 out of the top 10 biggest internet companies are in China - "censorship, repression, GFW"

I am wondering whether keeping 1.4 billion Chinese living with stone age tech is the real agenda of these people.
