You are missing an important thing on how PWA are supposed to be coded.

PWAs are supposed to check the avaialbe sandbox APIs and adapt accordingly.

So if a PWA is running on Windows on an UWP context, it can check it and then access UWP APIs, if they are running on Chrome OS instead, then check accordingly and act upon it.

Finally if only play old HTML 5 APIs are available, then make the best of it.

That is the whole point of Progressive, to enhance the experience depending on the surrounding context.

Didn't understand why they imply that being a code monkey means you know nothing about anything else... Must not be a code monkey themselves. Working with programmers you see people of all backgrounds who have a wealth of knowledge in all sorts of topics, some even have financial backgrounds, others business and military, and so on.
He shouldn’t ignore the minor events and only calculate the grand events. For instance the Brits attacked us in 1812, Mormons slaughtered settlers 59 years later, Mexican revolutionaries raided borders, Johnstown was flooded, Pinkerton shot strikers, we had draft riots, Martin Luther King’s assassination set off urban riots as did the Rodney King trial, if you were black in the South your life was in peril, Hurricane Katrina placed folks in desperate straits with an already corrupt police force refusing to help and actually hindering self protection to the point of openly shooting people for no god damn reason, almost forgot Kent State, the armed forces killing citizens. The whole fucking enterprise is corrupt. The unibomber may have been on to something ala John Brown whose body lies moldering in the grave.

I asked this question to a gastroenterologist recently and he suggested that people should treat them like medical drugs - don't take them at all if you don't have digestive issues, and if you do have issues, take them with medical guidance to help find one that works for you.

I have mild IBS and had done some exploration prior to asking this question. In my personal experience, the above is definitely true. The wrong probiotic can worsen symptoms or make you feel sick/feverish. But I eventually found one that works for me, I take it daily and it definitely reduces symptoms and makes my gut feel more solid. (I even have data proving this; I ran two three-month data collection periods to test various interventions, quantified symptoms, ran regressions, etc)

While we're at Windows Phone I must say I miss Windows Mobile. Always found the decision to kill it and replace with Windows Phone a total disaster. At the time it still had a very dedicated user base built over many years. It got replaced with a half-baked copycat OS. I doubt many WM users had any reason to switch to WP instead of Android. It was a completely different product. Microsoft basically threw away a dedicated niche audience for a different niche audience. And I don't have any data on this but I suspect WM users were a much more affluent, valuable and "Microsoft'y" group of users.

After the Nth photo sharing website that I'd early-adopted decided to close up shop, I determined I wanted to own the next solution I invested time into, and I founded PhotoStructure.

I've got 20-odd hard drives from laptops and servers and backups. No software that I tried, either open or closed source, would do what I wanted: organize everything into a nice, timestamped, deduped folder structure.

Many years ago, I'd shot myself in the foot by using tools to do JPEG editing and rotation, but those tools quietly deleted EXIF metadata, so PhotoStructure applies a suite of metadata inference heuristics to heal those holes, too.

The MVP is focused on high-quality metadata extraction and inference, and has a simple web-based UI. Simple editing support, along with GPS POI and face detection, is planned.

After spending more than a decade in the ads business, and (helping build) ML-powered behavior targeting based on metadata, it blows my mind that so many of us give the most rich metadata stream, our photos and videos, for free, to the FAANG. PhotoStructure isn't just an effort of love, it's also, at least in some way, penance.

I've got a limited number of beta users trying it out right now. If you're willing to share your feedback, please consider signing up. Use of PhotoStructure during the beta period is free.

I don't think whataboutism is automatically wrong. But in the context of hn threads on China, I feel it often adds an unhelpful layer of abstraction.

It's never clear if people doing the whatabouting actually dispute the negative characterization of China, or whether they agree with it but also want to change the subject to a broader topic in way the unfocuses the lense of the conversation.

The moral condemnation of what China is doing is not information I want to be lost from the conversation, and that seems to always be an effect of the whatabouting.

There's another alternative you maybe haven't considered: give up your Australian citizenship.

This is something I'm seriously considering. I live in Europe anyway, and at this rate I have zero interest in ever living in Australia again. I won't return, and I won't do anything to support Australia in any way, if I have to go down this path.

The Australian government has truly committed a hostile act against its own citizens.

I looked briefly but didn't see it - does Minecraft scripting have a way to save state and reset to that state instantly, how about stepping through code in real time? If not, most programs are just macros - they simply mimic user-actions, and if somewhere along the script something doesn't go as planned, it's just a mess. It's really hard teaching 10 year olds how to do anything more than the basics if every time they run the program, their entire world is messed up, and there's no way to undo the script they just ran, or understand why it went wrong.

This has been true in Minecraft for years now, it'd be great if it were addressed.
We usually post a comment about it, but not all the moderators are in a position to do that.

Delphi was much more productive, but VB6 was more broadly present on US enterprise market.
I was worried about this as well which is why I read the law and commented above.

The short answer is:
1. Non-compliance with a TAN/TCN is a civil not a criminal mater
2. As I stated above the law clearly says that it is a defence for non-compliance if a TAN/TCN would compel you to commit a crime in a foreign country. The issue is whether you can be compelled to commit an act in Australia, which would be a crime in a foreign country.
3. Consideration must be given to your legitimate interests.

In short, if you get a TAN/TCN then seek legal advice.
I was about to comment to say this is the source of the confusion. The Java based one is the original. Microsoft doesn't have the best history with Java, so my best guess is that eventually Bedrock may indeed replace the original in constant development, but it doesn't appear to be too soon. It doesn't hurt to just invest some time into the Java edition of Minecraft until the Windows 10 catches up with the new mod system.

The Raspberry Pi has a minimalist rendition of Minecraft that let's you script it with Python. Just downloading (or getting n00bs) the official Rapsberry Pi distro Raspbian includes Minecraft with it.

I think the conversation about that came up with chronic fatigue. These days it’s used to describe mild hangover-like states, mostly. What people with celiac suffer is more like the confusion that comes with multiple sclerosis. As far as other people’s ‘brain fog’ I think they’re referring to a much more mild condition.

Self described sensitivity to gluten is on the rise. Possibly some gluten intolerance is on the rise, too. However, incidence of -actual- celiac disease as confirmed by biopsy has not changed, but screening and diagnosis have gotten a lot better.

Wikipedia knows of this thing called XL, or ‘Extensible Language,’ though I haven't seen it anywhere else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XL_(programming_language)

> XL features programmer-reconfigurable syntax and semantics. Compiler plug-ins can be used to add new features to the language. A base set of plug-ins implements a relatively standard imperative language. Programmers can write their own plug-ins to implement application-specific notations, which can then be used as readily as built-in language features.

> XL is defined at four different levels: XL0 defines how an input text is transformed into a parse tree. XL1 defines a base language with features comparable to C++. XL2 defines the standard library, which includes common data types and operators. XLR defines a dynamic runtime for XL based on XL0.

> XL has no primitive types nor keywords. All useful operators and data types, like integers or addition, are defined in the standard library (XL2). XL1 is portable between different execution environments. There is no such guarantee for XL2: if a particular CPU does not implement floating-point multiplication, the corresponding operator definition may be missing from the standard library, and using a floating-point multiply may result in a compile-time error.

Frankly, I'm not sure if this is much different from implementing a language with a parser generator, but apparently the ‘semantics plugins’ are written in a version of the language itself, instead of something like the eternal C[++].

Pivotal Cloud Foundry is terrible. I am having a terrible time working with PAS.

The use case of PCF is weak especially when Kubernetes does everything it can do. It just sells enterprise fluff to "architects" in suits who haven't touched code in years and are so far from the reality of Devs working day to day.

One of the worst things about this bill is that the opposition knows it is full of problems and could have blocked it and forced a range of amendedments.

The Labor party here though is afraid of creating any point of difference on anything that could in any way be considered “national security” legislation.
