No, it doesn't even support basic features well, like SVG. The Mask implementation just wrong, you can crash Safari in iOS with a single SVG filter, only one color interpolation is implemented.

But worst of all, it seems like Apple just doesn't care. Bug reports don't seem to be read at all, while when reporting an issue for Chrome you usually get a reply within 24 hours.
If Apple loses their anti-trust case in court and is forced to open iOS to alternative app stores, does that mean the consoles would be forced to open up their platform as well? It would be nice to have some of these alternative stores on the PS4 and XBox.
I lived in Sunset Park for years. My 2600 square foot house on 10 acres of land has the same combined payment for mortgage+tax as my apartment from ~10 years ago and that neighborhood was worse then than it is now.

My washer and dryer are enormous, I have a car, and I live 5 minutes from the interstate on a beautiful wooded property with faster internet than I ever had in New York.

I am originally from NYC and I think the time to buy a house there was around the 1980s. If you have no hope of affording a good property there now in 2018, you have no business living in NYC because you are on the wrong side of the trade there. All of your surplus is going to be captured by the hyper successful alliance of landlords and the government. Renters are just asking to be tag team bodyslammed. Every time you get a raise, your landlord also will give himself a raise.
I'd say the laravel/php and Ruby on Rails communities are the closest thing there is to that. Many of the people involved in those communities run sass businesses or build sass business tools.

I think this in turn is a symptom of conflating rendering with state management in the first place.

The line between React and vanilla code is blurring more every day - which is a bit greedy for something that's purely meant to be a rendering solution. I would personally advocate to push React as far away from my app code as possible, and instead implement a specialised container class that hooks into React's internals (Controller? Model?) purely to handle localised state changes.

I use Safari and Safari Technical Preview as 2 semi-containers (TP uses it's own storage for everything, but still syncs with iCloud).
I've never gotten the hate for static linking, which would avoid issues like this. You'd always have the version of your dependencies that you're expecting.

Also, dynamic linking completely neuters LTO. There's not much point to (theoretically) saving a few megabytes of RAM when you're pulling in twice as much unused code.

My wife has paid ~£90 in the UK several times to get a bra from Rigby and Peller (https://www.rigbyandpeller.com/)

> In SQL, NULL<>NULL yields false.

No, NULL <> NULL yields UNKNOWN. That's why NULL <> NULL and NOT (NULL <> NULL) behave the same: they have the same value. UNKNOWN is a first-order truth value in ternary logic.

The key is that in a WHERE clause, a record is only returned if the WHERE clause evaluates to TRUE. Not TRUE or UNKNOWN. TRUE.
The problem is that incentives aren't aligned. Companies don't care about your personal data they only care about your metadata, so they won't invest resources into protecting your personal security. TLS, SSH, PGP are all communications protocols, they provide no rules concerning value exchange, which is what account creation is. When you create an account on a 'free' platform, your de-facto making an exchange of data for value. The issue here is that the transaction is one-sided because there are no guarantees on personal security. If your account information follows you around the web in the form of a public key, then your in control of your personal security.

So true. The policemen know for sure that they'll manage to find _something_ that'll enable them to ask for a bribe. Even if one were to insist on paying the fine in case of a real violation, they'll ensure that they don't end up issuing a ticket and grab money _unofficially_ so that they can pocket it.

From my practical experience, Null has a use, but is over-used or misused. If you concatenate a Null string to other non-Null strings, the Null should usually be treated like a zero-length string instead of nullifying the ENTIRE expression result. I know this differs from how numbers typically are treated, but so be it. Strings are not numbers.

Without that behavior, one often has to write verbose statements such as: denull(stringA,"") || denull(stringB,"") || denull(stringC,"") || denull(stringD,"") etc. ("denull" name varies per vendor. "||" is concatenate here.)

TiDB is an open source NewSQL database that speaks the MySQL protocol. You can scale it horizontally by adding nodes.

It is a relational DB (not time series). To describe a couple of differentiators from its peers:

- It aims to optimize both OLTP and OLAP workloads (aka HTAP)

- It uses a component-based architecture (the TiDB server is stateless and speaks the MySQL protocol. TiKV is the distributed storage layer. Thus, you can scale either independently. You can also connect to tikv directly from Spark).
In the context of emacs, you only ever need to learn terminology like

- major and minor modes,

- special, regular, mini and read-only buffers,

- frames,

- backup files,

- dired,

- mark and kill rings,

- hooks,

- the difference between C-x and M-x,

- mode line,

- registers

- and whatever else there is in emacs' configs, packages etc.

I dunno. Perhaps in emacs lingo "standard" means "no one uses these terms anymore"?
My wealthy American relative had bidets installed in the bathrooms of his multimillion-dollar houses.

Same! I prefer Safari dev tools for inspecting the DOM, CSS prototyping, debugging, seeing request/response headers, local storage info. I use it every day, and find its interface much more intuitive and way less bloated. However Chrome devtools are better when it comes to performance profiling, and having extensions like React devtools make me wish that was a capability of Safari.

An extension that's become as important to me as uBO. Discovered this only a couple of months ago thanks to a random comment from someone here on HN. I'd previously been using another extension that did the same thing, but poorly.

HN now looks like an old school amber monitor, and its default rules get 9 out of 10 sites spot on, with perfect contrast. Unlike other similar addons seems able to leave the right highlight and banner colours alone. If some rare site doesn't work well with the defaults you can tune individually or even add custom css for that site only. The few times I browse without it my middle-aged eyes are instantly resenting the excessive whiteness.

So I have to thank you, a lot, for your attention to detail with this. I hope you receive lots and lots of donations. :)

The only negative I find is it's sometimes very greedy with CPU, especially if you're switching between a few tabs a lot.
That’s a very specific development story, though, common to e.g. web development.

If you’re, for example, a developer working on an embedded platform which (even temporarily) has no ssh, and probably no emacs as well, tramp-mode won’t work.

The study’s result seem to be that users often get unique results. That’s not the same as “personalized”, and it certainly isn’t evidence of “bias” as the spreadprivacy.org-link suggests.

A good faith interpretation would point to google running learning algorithms on their results. That would also seem to be a far better explanation for Google changing parts of the page layout, such as the position of news and video results.

The use of the term “bias” for describing differences search results also trips my conspiracy theory detectors.

Controlled burns don't destroy the bigger trees the way unintentional, out-of-control fires do. So, your stats aren't very applicable to mature (sparser and taller) forests in which underbrush is managed more effectively. This is not a novel approach, and while there may be problem species in California, in the areas that have burnt and are prone to create the most dangerous fires, I don't think enough attention is paid to what kind of forests can be catered to be more fire-resistant (less brush and slower burning).

Trump is apparently an insensitive moron for putting the blame on forest management, but I don't understand why the spotlight isn't already on them since things aren't improving year over year. PG&E power lines caused multiple fires last year as well. I wonder if raking and cleaning and doing things underneath power lines would have helped. That may be simplistic logic, but the logic behind recent policy seems even worse and this article makes it sound like they are still figuring out the basics. I am not sure why that is the case.

Coming from an East European country I thought I've seen it all traveling through Europe where even Italy didn't bother me. Where I come from, road traffic is a fight. With hate and madness.

Then I went to Egypt. I've been picked up by a local friend on the Airport at night and I was shocked that once we came upon one of those north/south highways, the first thing he did was to turn off the lights! From then on he used them only to blink at the traffic coming towards us. Which made the whole situation even worse as it was pitch black outside in the desert. But everybody seems to be very chilled about it This day I learned: there is real madness on the roads out there but I'd be happy to witness (and survive it) all. Especially in India and certain other Asian countries where "driving" seems to be a different way of flowing with the rest but also somehow similar to a German Autobahn where you can flow with 200kmh and every small mistake may be the last one you witness.

Is it really as bad as you say? Microsoft is not giving up on making a browser, they are switching rendering engine. I see this as a good thing overall -- one less rendering engine to worry about during dev, but still have a different browser maintained by a prominent company (that comes with the most used OS in the world, even).

The net effect is that, stuff that Google tries to pull (like auto logging in accounts in Chrome based on your gmail) will still be negative for Google and still cause people to switch; because you have options. On the other hand, devs can expect code behavior to match more closely now even in MS Anaheim because its underlying rendering engine is now the same as Chrome. It's not monoculture of product choice, it's monoculture of underlying rendering engine, which seems like a good thing to me.

> With that being said they were all quant majors in undergrad, and actually enjoyed coding.

Right, this is top edge of bootcamp folks, and these guys do get hired and do succeed.

You're talking about folks who completed a tough STEM degree and then switched to tech. These are the folks you know. But these are already pre-selected people. They were already in the top 1% "most likely to succeed" before they even set foot in the bootcamp.

You're missing the 99% who never went to college because they lacked the desire or ability to learn, then drifted into some skill-mill that took their money.

These are the majority of bootcamp graduates.

> I've also seen people with non-quant backgrounds land ok jobs doing menial coding (e.g working at an accounting firm on database stuff)

Ten bucks say these were non-quant college graduates, and probably a good college too. So now we're not talking about the top 1%, but probably top 5%.

What you're considering "menial coding" is just simpler jobs, but not really simple or brain-dead. That stuff gets automated... often by startups staffed by folks who went to Stanford CS.

I hear things like this a lot.
It's not hard, it just takes time.
Is it hard to make that time? If it is too hard to make time to do something with your kids that you yourself think is important, you have to reconsider your priorities.

If you didn't plan appropriately, and decided to have kids before realizing the effort required, then you need to do some risk-reward analysis and determine which things you "have time" to pay attention to and which you don't.

> unwanted but hard to avoid space

Again, not hard, just time consuming.
Time and interest will make sure your kids are well adjusted (well, at least as well adjusted as their parents).
