A couple of points.

Javascript, Racket, etc that he listed aren't "untyped" languages. They are typed. Weakly/dynamically typed. Although I guess some people equate the two. So lets go with that.

Also, division by zero is an runtime operation error, it is not really a type error. The division operation doesn't fail because it violated the type system, it fails because you can't mathematically divide by zero.

Finally, x86 assembly doesn't really have what we call a type system in the general sense.

But assuming his premises and logic, the conclusion should be "Typed Programs Don't Exist". If x86 checks its type at runtime ( division by zero ), then it is a dynamic language. Dynamic languages are untyped languages like javascript and racket. And since all programs are ultimately assembly programs and all assembly programs are created by dynamic languages then it must mean that all programs are untyped. Hence, no typed programs exist.

Ultimately, the author's argument is that runtime division by zero error is proof of x86 type system. But if that is true, x86 assembly is a dynamic ( aka untyped ) language. And his conclusion is wrong.
are you suggesting that Chinese should ban all UK high tech stuff in China until it can be proven to be backdoor free? sounds like a fair reaction to me.
Thanks, you are correct - I just didn't want to encourage the trolls...

I think it boils down to the lack of grand vision. "Celebrity architects" nowadays mostly focus on the looks, slapping a fancy sculpture of a building into an environment they don't care about (like that one [1], the block might just as well "fit" literally anywhere else) and splitting it into the same old office/apartment boxes on the inside. Surely it looks good on renders, but there is no idea, it's just pure ornament. Compare and contrast with Barbican Estate [2] [3], which is a social experiment and an embodiment of a vision first and housing project second. None of those generic house-sculptures will be revered and studied in 40 years. It's a shame the current crop of star architects is so obsessed with bling.

Once upon a time, C code for games engines looked like this.

void do_stuff(void) {
asm {
}
}

Hardly any C code in sight, and most of the stuff could equally have been coded in MASM/TASM with their higher level macros.

Eventually game devs migrated to proper C.

A couple of years later, C++ code in game engines, was not even "C with Classes", rather C compiled with C++ compiler.

Eventually game devs migrated to proper C++.

Looking at the past, which I was partially part of, I see HPC# as a stepping stone into regular C#, in a similar vein that C code of yore was full of inline Assembly.

It is of course a matter of opinion, however I like to look at the past to see where the future leads to.

So lets see who's is right in about 10 years, regarding how game engines get implemented.
The iPhone SE, at least, rattles when you shake it. The internet tells me this is normal, and it's not the only iPhone which does this.
Nobody is saying Verizon isn't allowed to do this. The entire argument is that Verizon _shouldn't_ do this.
Tumblr didn’t say there’s something wrong with sex and nudity. They only said there’s now something wrong with posting pictures of sex & nudity on Tumblr, like most of the millions of other forums online that aren’t focused primarily on porn.
We're getting to the point where browsers are worthy of the decades old criticism Emacs has received. They have eventually become an OS with many fine features - simply lacking a good web browser.

It's a large, sprawling project to make a good OS. Especially when the language of choice to run on it changes with such haste.

Hopefully this nth re-imagining of dumb terminals dies off over the next few years and applications go back to the OS where they belong. Otherwise thing are going to get rough.
Well, if there is an easy enough pwa framework, yhen it might be almost indistinguishable for most people :)
> Airplanes always get most of the energy from ascent back in descent.

Given that the aeroplane ends up stopped on the tarmac at (approximately) sea level with (approximately) empty tanks, how so? A bit of heat I suppose but that's not usable. I'd say current aeroplanes generally deliberately dump energy to the environment (via deliberately increased drag, spoilers etc.) during descent, no?
Self employed consultants are pushed into private healthcare, which will ruin you when you retire (you have to keep paying >>$1000 per month until you die).
I believe HN has a flame war detector that trips when the number of comments is greater than the number of votes, and pulls the submission off the front page. (I haven't looked, but this is probably what happened to the Google post as well.)

Since it's back on the front page now, I'd guess that the HN mods decided that this was important and un-tripped the detector.
I encourage you to read about matrix [https://matrix.org] - the protocol. In addition, there are numerous open source clients to use [https://matrix.org/docs/projects/clients-matrix]. Also, as far as organizations, matrix.org has recently become a foundation moving towards somewhat you described [https://matrix.org/blog/2018/10/29/introducing-the-matrix-or...].

I'm surprised to see such a narrow view about this issue on this forum.

This forum oddly has some anti-labor sentiment. It is seen in this thread and also in threads related to unions, where the tone is quite obviously anti-union.
The harmonics are above the transmission frequency, so a low pass filter is normally all that is needed to clean this up.

There is a project that uses a Raspberry pi to transmit from is GPIO

To use a home built transmitter you need amateur radio license, no matter what.
Perhaps Christianity is the degradation of society. The United States was founded with an explicit attempt to get religion out of government, until the Great Awakening gave a rebirth to a cancer in our democracy. Even conservative Republicans like the Reagan/Bush team were terrified of the influence of the radical Christian movement.
The US government may well be lobbying for this, but if so, I don't that they're doing it by going to Australian corporations and saying, "Hey, you lobby for this and if you do we'll give your something special." If for no reason other than that it's likely it would get out.

What I'm saying here is that "corporate lobbying" is a bugaboo for many people. There are plenty of bad ideas that stem from sources other than corporate lobbying.
This is an epic review. Expect a lot of cases of the "Smash Flu" tomorrow ;)
I understand why Verizon doesn't want to be in the porn business, but shouldn't this have come up during due diligence? Hasn't tumblr been porn-riddled since its inception?
I took CSP as a basis for learning how distributed and concurrent protocols work, and then did Erlang to see that into reality. Great thing to learn

With the engines placed at the tip of the wings it must be next to impossible to operate with a single engine.
I remember back when Facebook was only available to college students. I wonder if any startup would create another 'exclusive' network to increase it's perceived social value
sorenjan referenced matrix...and honestly, that's the way to go.
It didn't sound to me like the attackers were getting past 2FA, but rather that they were setting up new accounts with the same profile picture. That wouldn't require an attack or compromise at all.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong though.
Yes it's an active topic of research: https://openreview.net/pdf?id=rJNwDjAqYX
It's just an expensive exercise in modern construction practices and a vehicle to sell luxury flats. Just notice how generic it is. Can you tell which city (or which part of NY) it is if not for the caption? How is it different from any other luxury apartment development except for the looks?
Yeah, I said the same thing when Cloudflare was deplatforming white supremacists [1]. That's the thing about free speech: you have to defend it when you don't agree with the content, not only when it's speech you agree with.

I have since changed my stance after that event: platforms should deplatform everything they don't like. It's the only way people will advocate for solutions that support free speech in all its forms.

EDIT: Everyone running their own phpBB instance is looking pretty smart right now. To own your content/speech/destiny, you have to own your platform.

Yes it does look nice-ish, but this is stage when human-scale disappears. It would look much less bland if it was ten story high and not twenty.

Having that coffin to the left does not help. It wants to dominate the landscape but it's dwarfed by a messy box.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. thank god most employers go above the bare legal minimum, I never had anything less than 28 days. Once I even had the luck of being under a "naked" payment contract: 35 hour work week, unlimited overtime to be taken of whenever it was possible, 30 days of vacation and 12 weeks of continued pay in case of sickness (6 more weeks than mandatory). Ah, I miss these days...
The difference is the type of person that would do it for cash likely has other personality traits that make them at least somewhat easier to spot. If this could compel upstanding, trustworthy individuals to do the same, that's a bit harder to handle.

I wonder if there are solutions to astroturfing that have not been explored.

this is really challenging as it is something I have been thinking about a long time and each idea I have I find a way that it would simply not work.

Facebook has become a scapegoat: https://jakeseliger.com/2018/11/14/is-there-an-actual-facebo... for a media system that is unable to cope with its role in the 2016 election.

Once a company (or individual) becomes a media target, the media generates its own news about the company.

At the same time, most media companies cannot admit this dynamic even if they understand it (they don't).

If you spend $200 on a phone instead of $1000, you get five years of OS upgrades by getting a new phone every year. If you luck out and one of your phones does have upgrades, you can skip a year.

Because the Android ecosystem doesn't have a strong upgrade ability, app developers generally target a wide variety of OS versions, so when you do get cut off from app updates, it's really ancient versions, like gingerbread.

We used to half joke that graphics card is in fact nothing more than very good and cheap DDS signal generator.

And as for SDR applications: most of modern radio devices use software defined radios and many modern radio interfaces cannot be reasonably implemented in any other way.

Social data and data sharing really needs to be standardized around common protocols. I could see a better future wherein:

1. There's a core layer made up of an immutable ledger of encrypted social data (content users publish and relationships between users) and a series of protocols to use and manipulate that data. This layer is non-discriminatory and anything can be published.

2. The future "Facebook"s, "Tumblr"s create frontends that use (1)s data in interesting ways by consent of the user. These frontends can blacklist certain content depending on what their goals are. Depending on country of operation, these classes of services additionally act as legal gatekeepers for what is legal or non-legal content.
But wasn't the Atom a copy of the MIPS? I was under the impression MIPS did it first but ARM did it better?
He's basically copying Kurzweil's idea about the concept you get when you extend Moore's law into the past. But then he throws in something about being a bridge between the Japanese techno scene and the San Francisco rave scene, lol. I'm not sure if there's a point to the article. Maybe the point is that as technology advances we build more advanced things. Maybe the point is how the internet has been corporatized. But the whole article is kind of baseless. It's a story analogous to the reality we live in, at best.
This is a nice simple convenience feature, for sure [1]:

> example.com provides a /.well-known/change-password resource which redirects to their change password form, wherever it happens to already be.

> Password managers check for the existence of /.well-known/change-password on https://example.com.

> If it's there (the response code is 2xx or 3xx), the password manager can cause the user's browser to navigate there when the user indicates they'd like to change their password.

It's not trying to enforce a particular password schema, it's not an API endpoint to automate changing passwords, and it is not trying to dictate site design or form layout.

It's also dirt simple to implement with practically zero cost.

Aside from Safari, it doesn't seem like any password managers have implemented this yet.
It's also not in the IANA well-known URI registry [2] yet (even as draft), so that would probably at least allow it to get a bit more traction. Apparently they are working towards that [3].

Holy shit, this. The whole "my parents joined so I left because it wasn't cool" isn't it. The people who adopted in the early naughts are now those very adults we speak of.
No Jane --although cute-- I don't care about your baby. And is it really a good idea to put your baby on social media without their explicit consent? Who owns a child's social media presence before they do?
Just wondering, how can a German defend oneself from such bullshit?
I see tremendous upside getting into either $LYFT below $20B or $UBER at $120B, which recently announced operational air taxi service by 2023.
If it had been introduced today, would PNaCl have been rejected which ultimately lead to a better solution (WASM), or would it have been broadly accepted since it had sufficient market reach though Chrome?
Yes, the exact guidelines are going to be vague, that’s a good thing. It might just show they understand that it should be okay to allow art and breastfeeding and other forms of nudity that aren’t explicitly pornographic.

I feel like this article isn’t making good faith arguments. Every single sentence is trying to tear down Tumblr’s announcement word by word without attempting to understand their position, making the worst case assumption about their intent rather than assuming reason, and Tumblr’s position seems to be completely reasonable. Tumblr isn’t for porn anymore, just like most other web sites on the planet.

Plus, if they lost a spot on the Apple App Store due to porn, then the title isn’t true, removing the porn and getting back on the App Store will definitely make their situation better.
As if certifications would prove anything. Just look at what the German tüv certifies secure. They are missing even the most basic XSS stuff. I have no hope here.
IndieGoGo is a haven for scammers. They have absolutely no interest in protecting you. Even if you point out that the scammer is actively scamming currently, they won't do anything.
Ouch. Their status page seems to be overloaded, assuming that is the correct URL.
What counts as "misrepresenting their nationality"? I'm sure russian bots aren't going around saying "I, John Smith, an American citizen, think that Hiliary is bad". It's probably going to be some user named @johnsmith2009 saying "Hilary is bad".

The one that Apple's browsers request on every domain isn't even in the list:

/.well-known/apple-app-site-association

That's the only .well-known request we have in our logs from the last year or more. Seems to be looking for an app associated with our site.

Aside from that, I don't know anyone or anything else using .well-known. Seems to be an Apple thing.
Lots of React-related decisions so far - https://stackshare.io/tool/react/decisions. Beyond the reasons why they chose React, I like seeing the complementary tools like react-mentions.
Again, you're making circular arguments in order to claim that pornography and prostitution are bad. You can't reasonably make these claims without also arguing that we should ban alcohol because Prohibition led to illegal smuggling runs and all sorts of crime. Prostitution is illegal, therefore it leads to human trafficking, therefore it should be illegal? How are you going to have rampant human trafficking in a transparent system that requires brothels to have licenses, undergo inspections, and empower their employees to report unfair/unsafe/unsavory business practices?

You also need to leave out your personal opinions about sex when it comes to this discussion. I noticed that you previously mentioned that one of the reasons women turn to pornography is because they are "out of options". That's not your decision to make. If an adult makes a personal choice to turn to pornography, it's not your place to go "but that's unsavory to me, let me protect you by making that profession illegal". You're imposing your own negative views of sex on everyone else. If you think participating in pornography is inherently degrading, you don't have to do it!
The FCC regulations are very long, hard to understand, and occasionally contradictory - I know, I work in the industry. The closest section of the law that comes to mind is for very low power (typically under 1mW) devices that do not require the user to have a licence. These are so called "part 15" devices, which refers to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 47, Part 15.

While the user of these sorts of devices doesn't require a licence, the device itself needs to be certified, so that, among other things, it doesn't spew noise all over the RF spectrum. This device wouldn't pass.

There are also experimental licences that can be held by businesses such as RF equipment manufacturers that allow for using equipment that hasn't yet received FCC approval. They are usually band restricted, geographically restricted and power restricted, and you must take care to not have high levels of spurious emissions.

edit: Here's a PDF explainer on Part 15 devices: https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Do...
They are claiming a price of $3 million plus. While that sounds like a lot, from what I can tell it is cheap for aircraft of that size. (it is very hard to track down prices for new aircraft so feel free to correct me). It may well be feasible to buy 3 of these to replace 1 of something else, and have 2 charging all the time.
I don't want to argue about Android vs iOS at all. You should buy what you like, I just provided a couple reasons why I use Andoid. I'm assuming your numbers are worldwide since you did not provide a source. If they're US centric, I'd be very surprised. Living in the US, I know plenty of people with Pixel 3s and S9s. These people did not buy these expensive flagship Android phones because they were cheap. There are plenty of valid reasons to buy them.
Arguably, though perhaps I am unwise to post this here (if so, it is a sorry state of affairs..), the idea that there is "nothing wrong with nudity" is less controversial (more true, even!) than the idea that there is "nothing wrong" with white supremacy.
iMessage on Android would be huge. Do that, then introduce a meetup feature and I swear half the people I know who "have to use Facebook" would delete their account. FB would shrivel up in five years.
So, we are willing to arrest foreign businesspeople and risk an international crisis in order to make sure that our supply of oil is secure, but if our own businesspeople rip off the American people to the tune of trillions of dollars, we not only let them walk free, but we compensate them for their losses. Interesting to see what kinds of behavior are actually punished. Shows you who's really in charge of the government. (Exxon, Goldman Sachs, etc)
I'm using the Sony Xperia XZ1 compact, a truly excellent device which launched around $580 USD and which I bought new for $450 last year. It's a bit cheaper than the non-compact version that more people know about, but has all the same specs and internals, just a smaller size and smaller screen. After a full year of use and updates it doesn't seem any slower than when I bought it, and because it has a microSD slot I will never run out of space.

Bit harsh, compared to America it's still saner day-to-day with healthcare, gun control, and very liveable cities with public transport.

You mean ARM not Atom?

That looks like a good idea, but why not go one step further? Provide a common API interface for password changes.

Think about it: If you assume your pw manager database is compromised - what do you do? Go to a hundred webpages and change your password? probably not.
Your PW Manager can't provide a feature to do it for you. But it could if there was such an API.
