Very much disagree. If you pay attention at all to security you'll always hear stories of that one client who hasn't done security updates in 3 months (or 3 days) and gets taken out by the inevitable "exploit Wednesday" shenanigans. On top of that if you're in an enterprise environment when you update you've already had months of home users beta testing the stuff (if you've chosen the semi-annual channel), haven't you?

From my experience as someone who has had 0 problems since beta (that weren't caused by me doing something stupid like uninstalling Windows Store) people mess with windows, usually by running a script or 2 because "omg Microsoft is spying on me!111!" then the update comes and throws them an error or 2.

Choose any other OS. Any OS at all that is sufficiently complicated as to compete with Windows (maybe as a starting point anything a tiny bit more complicated than ChromeOS). Then name a problem that's happened with Windows 10. I'll show something similar if not worse happening on the other OS you've chosen.

The problem, IMO, isn't the OS. It's the freedom the OS allows and the billions of different configurations you'll find out there. Of course any 1 update isn't going to account for all of that. Hell Apple can't even do it on iphones/imacs and they have a very tiny number of SKUs to deal with.
You can define iHittable and get the code to compile, but it doesn't make the actual issue (polymorphism) any easier to tackle. I think eschewing inheritance in favor of aspects is definitely the way to go.

(Of course, you can wrap everything in a fluent-style interface either way - that part is orthogonal to all the rest.)
Ask HN: Server-rendered web frameworks with static typing
I'm very comfortable with React, but I'm not comfortable creating a leaner, lighter, server-rendered website. I'm open to learning any language, but ideally, I'd have static typing available to me.
I think it should be acknowledged that there are likely a number of accessibility and similar requirements that at scale bear non-trivial costs. I.e. building a website with top of the line accessibility, providing resources for auditory and visually impared, etc.

I'm not saying current publishers are great at these things, just that they should not be forgotten and should be improved on if a new order was to take shape.
You do not sound condescending at all!

While it's true that popularity does not equal quality, one should be careful to go full tilt in the other direction and assert that non popularity means quality.

Objective C and Smalltalk were decent languages twenty years ago, but terrible languages by today's modern standards, starting with the fact that they're both dynamically typed, which we know today, is an evolutionary dead end in PLT.
China’s Big Dipper Satellites Challenge the Dominance of GPS
I have to reluctantly agree. If there is one thing I've learned after 20 years on the open commercialized Internet its that any uncurated medium falls to spam, trolling, con artists, cranks, propaganda, and hoaxes. The bad stuff is easy to make and generally has better "viral" characteristics, so it drives out the good. The money is also very much on the side of quacks since absent regulation quackery is more profitable than real medicine. Hoaxes and tabloids are also more profitable than real news.

Science without curation will fall to corporate shills and propagandists with political axes to grind. It's already bad enough but with no gatekeepers at all it would be a total free for all. Tobacco would become good for you again, homeopathy would work, etc.

Curation can be democratic, but if so there must be a well thought out procedure for electing curators and a constitution or set of bylaws that is hard to amend. Science has a lot of power, so any scientific curation system is going to come under constant attack. We are living in the age of information warfare.

You can build one thousand money transfer networks better than the banking system - it's irelevant, the incumbents will never let them exist at scale. Financial intermediation is a trillion dollars industry, do you think the industry will just let some small startups and OSS developers steal their lunch? No, they will lobby to hell, they will pressure all regulatory agencies, they will scream "money laundry, corruption and pedophiles!". In the end all you will get are paypals and stripes, thin tech veneers over thick banking gravy.

Cryptocurrecies succeeded to some degree precisely because they were not merely transfer networks - indeed, despite the dubious usability as such. They succeeded because they created their own units of value along with the transfer system, speculative virtual assets that allowed then to bootstrap without being grandfathered by the banking industry.

A social token that would strive for a balance between privacy and against criminal behaviour could be imagined. But it would need to follow a similar path, neither banks nor governments desire to relinquish any control over their currencies.

No, but every game that you buy that runs on any of the consoles have been preapproved by the console manufacturers and each game has been cryptographically signed by the manufacturer - even those sold on disc.

You don’t have to buy music from Apple. Music you buy hasn’t been wrapped with DRM for a decade. You can buy movies from Google, Amazon or Vudu, download the Movies Anywhere app, connect the app to your various accounts and they automatically show up as iTunes purchases (completely legally), there is an Amazon Video, Google Play, and Vudu app available for iOS. You can go to the Amazon store in your web browser and buy a digital video just like you can buy anything else from Amazon.

We are talking about consoles. Just like the other console manufacturers, you can not sell a video game on disc that has not been approved by MS and without paying MS a licensing fee to run on the XBox.

Glyphosate isn't used with fruit. He was referring to contact pesticides commonly used to kill insects that damage fruit (Eg. Malathion). You can wash contact non-systemic pesticides off easily enough.
And my other question? Any thoughts?
If you are interested in compression at all, be sure to take a trip through Charles Bloom's blog [1]. It's an incredible read, he covers everything from the basics all the way through state of the art algorithms.

A great example is this post [2], where he talks about how to correctly implement a Huffman encoder/decoder. It's a lot tricker than it is made to sound in most books. For example, most Huffman codes that are used in practice are length limited, to allow the decoder to use smaller lookup tables. There are a bunch of surprisingly interesting tricks to get that to work well from the encoding side (which symbols do you choose to be smaller than they would be otherwise?).

It should have long been clear that mass manufacturing in high-wage countries cannot sustainably support as many jobs as it used to be, given low international shipping costs and increasing domestic automation.

The subsidies should be spent to retrain the workers for hard-to-export and costly-to-automate jobs like electricians, plumbers, etc instead. Part of the funds should support their cost of living during the reskilling period as well.
I don't think it is, and yes I do. I'm well aware that crimes happen on BART, someone was murdered at my local station not long ago. But I don't think that 'lawless' is a good description, although many of my journeys take me to stereotypically sketchy stations or occur late at night.

It's because of this subjectivity that I said I hoped the case would turn on a more rigorous definition.

I’ve used lz4 several times for compressing blobs and storing them for serving real-time traffic. In my opinion LZ4 and Snappy hits fine balance of CPU usage and network usage when you are sensitive to p99 latencies. ZSTD seems to pay more attention to compression size. I hope to do a real life test instead of sythetic benchmarks. Has someone already used it in prod?

I have ulcerative colitis, which is a disease that falls under the category of IBD. My story is similar to many other IBD testimonials. I was a perfectly healthy young individual who contracted a severe infection that landed me in the hospital. I was treated with antibiotics and steroids, and made a full recovery. After a follow up colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with IBD.

I had an idea, albeit without any real proof, that my disease was onset by my infection by somehow "reprogramming" my immune system. This was how I rationalised going from a healthy to diseased status so rapidly. That idea trivialises much of what goes on behind the scenes in our bodies, but it seems to be more or less what this research is pointing towards.

> We are still struggling to get a good idea of what the impacts of climate change will be

But this problem isn't even an impact of climate change unless you think that not having access to clean water, causing kidney disease, was OK 20 years ago, and only became not OK when the temperature got a bit warmer.

In other words, by blaming it on "climate change", you're letting off the hook the people who are actually responsible--the governments and agribusinesses that have been making these workers work in the heat without giving them reliable access to clean water, thereby causing them to get kidney disease, for at least 20 years now. The way to fix that is to hold those people accountable, regardless of what the climate is doing.
God, this is funny. The anti-Trump local governments are making it harder for people to safely take public transportation to anti-Trump protests. Maybe the state of BART and the lack of desire to fix it, is one of reason that Trump was elected.

The Making of Quezon City (Director's Cut)
I can only comment from a user's perspective but the issues I face with google maps directions:

- The warning to turn a few hundred meters out works, but I find in dense urban areas is that the "turn now" message is delivered too early sometimes. Where there isn't much of a gap between turns It can occasionally lead you to make a turn down the wrong (earlier) road. Low speed, heavy traffic situations are worst.

- It frequently leads you through backroads here (Jakarta, Indonesia), which often dont have much space for a single car. Allowances for developing cities need to be made given the width of roads. Gmaps has improved considerably in this area over the past few years but its still problematic.

- Heavy traffic estimations (eg where the traffic is a dark red on gmaps) are far too conservative for this and other similar asian cities. It's like it hits a theoretical max-time that a car can be queuing without taking into account cities with insanely bad traffic :P

- It may be annoying for some, but id appreciate a "last rest stop for xx km" message when on the highway if its above a certain distance (say 40km) :)

- Gmap specific: It's very unclear whether the navigation is on mute or not
Where “the market” is a small number of firms with tremendous market power. “Market power” essentially means “power to do something other than what a competitive market would want.”
> The counter to your argument is that widespread use of existing payment methods means the market prefers them.

That's not a valid argument. The market always prefers what "is" until a critical mass understands benefits of a new technology. The existing credit system was not designed for today's world, is pull based, and is rife with fraud on both the merchant and the consumer side. Merchants absolutely despise credit cards, we can't wait for something better to be invented.

The market preferred horses when cars were first invented; it takes time for new technology to penetrate. Internet cash will be a thing, Bitcoin might not be the successful implementation of that thing, but that thing's time will come.

Credit card companies are despised by merchants.
That guy has some pretty interesting articles.
Ok so they say that small file compression is achieved via a training step to produce a dictionary for subsequent compression/decompression cycles.

For this to work either you need the library to include all of those models, or you have to transmit those models at least once so they can be cached by the recipient.

I don't see why any of the other compression schemes couldn't also use that type of bootstrap mechanism. Obviously it would not be binary compatible with the baseline libraries, but it's seems disingenuous to claim a huge improvement if the bulk of it is coming from just that.

The problem there is, nobody likes using escrow for everyday things.

Example: Renting a car. The rental companies want a way to recoup costs from any damage you do by, e.g., smoking in the car. They give you two options for how this can work: You can either pay with a credit card, which has a way for htem to do that built-in. Or, if you don't want to pay with a credit card, you can give them a bunch of extra money to hold in escrow.

Guess which option people basically never choose, when both options are available to them.

I would assume that merchants feel similarly about chargebacks vs escrow, and for similar reasons.
When I said "can", I meant by the rules, not the laws of physics. The car is morally obligated to try not to hit anyone no matter what, but that's not what I'm talking about.

And the picture I have in mind isn't someone suicidally leaping in front of a car, it's someone taking one step to order the cars to stop. This would be fine if there was a "reasonable stopping rate" clause, but it doesn't sound like there is.
anyone with a physics degree able to weigh in? could this be used to narrow the search for high temperature superconducting materials?
