It is unsurprising only if you fail to consider the implications of it being true (in the strong sense).

Some languages have extremely complex ways of indicating tense (making a grammatical distinction between, for example, past events that occurred and then ceased, versus past events that are still ongoing). Some have retained complex grammars for expressing wishes (the optative mood, for example). Other languages have far fewer grammatical ways of expressing tense and mood. Tenses in Mandarin Chinese are often "optional" in a sentence, for example, and in general the mood system of English is a lot simpler than it is in, say, ancient Greek. Ancient Hebrew, strictly speaking, does not have past, present, and future tenses at all (but instead combines context with perfective and imperfective aspects).

Now here's the possibly dangerous leap. "The Chinese think differently about time" (or are less concerned about it). "The ancient Hebrews were very focused on the present and rather feckless about the future." "German and Greek are the only languages worthy of philosophy" (a direct quote from Heidegger). "There are certain emotions in Hopi that cannot be expressed in English." "People speaking a creole are less capable of nuanced rational thought." You can probably see where this is going . . .

Okay, let's pick something rarer. Rational numbers.

If you integrate the characteristic function of the rational numbers over any interval, you get zero because rational numbers are very rare.

So they don't exist either?

To be less glib, I don't see Feynmann's argument to be bringing anything new. We already knew that counterexamples, if they existed, would be very rare because we tried looking for them with computers and we couldn't find them. But stuff being rare still doesn't prove anything.

Many of us were fooled by Skewe's number:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewes%27s_number

There's no way to conclude that this exists via brute calculation. It's just inconceivably large and would have eluded any of Feynmann's methods.

My sanity and income both improved remarkably once I stopped trading hours for money. Now I trade results for money.

This gives me a lot of control over how I work. The client only cares about the result - X% increase in website traffic, X new leads, etc.

As long as I make that happen, it doesn't matter to the client whether I work 5 hours or 50.

I'm often done with my month's work in about 10-15 days and have enough downtime to focus on side projects.

I hope we don't go back to MVC for everything. I think we just have to use the right tool for the job. If an app is highly interactive or will have frequent data updates, or if it's supposed to be used almost like a native app, a SPA is the perfect way to achieve this. If it's going to be like most sites, traditional MVC will probably be better.

Not that react isn't great for traditional websites, I've just seen too many fullstack or backend devs struggle with it, so if they're going to be involved in the frontend it may be worth considering the alternatives.
I agree, I don't think this is a feature that web designers should worry about. How I scroll is something that should be set on the browser level.

This is sort of like a web designer writing CSS to redesign my browser tabs while I visit their site. This isn't their job.

Plus, on Mac devices with trackpads, the system OS already adds a smooth scrolling to all actions we do. So when we visit these sites that add smooth scrolling with Javascript it can cause us to go insane. Because scrolling becomes insanely sensitive, with 2-3 inputs trying to control scrolling behavior (the OS, the browser, and now JS). The system is adding its own acceleration and deceleration, and then javascript is sitting on top of that trying to interpret these forces and add their own multiplier on top of those. I have visited sites that have JS implemented smooth scrolling that is so sensitive, that I can't even barely touch the trackpad without scrolling down an entire page length.

The overhead is typically “a few extra keystrokes”, Java and C++ notwithstanding. There are more complex cases in which standard type systems aren’t expressive and expressive type systems are arguably too difficult, but even then you could use an “untyped” type like interface{} in Go and program that bit just like you would in Python while still enjoying type safety in the other 99% of your application.

There are two forms of mess in my experience, none of them have to do with SPA.

1) You have the problems that different developers have different styles. So when you jump from one area to another in the code base you're hit with WFT this is functional/procedural/inheritiance/composition, etc. style and your first thought is "barf" they did it wrong...

2) People either have huge functions that are spaghetti or tiny little functions to avoid complexity that are one line if statements.

Both of these are usually rooted in lack of a shared code culture, these are not SPA issues but team issues.

> You can find it to be whatever you want, but it is legal and not fraud.

It's fraud and it's legal. Which is why the EU cracks down on it pretty hard with large settlements, fines, and the passing of passenger bill of rights. In this thread alone you see passengers offered $100s - $1000s in compensation. Do you think those airlines wanted to pay out compensation? Those fines are statute according to the terms of passenger rights, which you will find printed on the back of every ticket.

Just like speeding, most don't get caught. But just because they don't does not make it any less illegal.
Project-based billing solves this neatly. It also ensures alignment of incentives (ie, working faster / more efficiently yields higher effective rate, vs working faster -> get paid less), and is helpful in emphasizing value.

For time and materials projects, avoid hourly if possible; that leads to micromanagement and commodification of your skills. I recommend billing by sprints or by the week. Try to limit granularity to a day rate (w/ minimum increments of 1/2 day).
Until you break the cycle. You can live a good life on 3 hrs of work a day as a developer. Working full time in today's world is complete non sense.

But people who see everything through the lens of consumption have a long way to go I guess.

That's only 1-2 seconds on a fast connection.

If you have zero of that content cached locally and are on a mobile or just not-fast connection it'll be way more than 1-2 seconds.

Your "solution" is one of the ones responsible for locking up mobile browsers all over the place, because the browser still has to deal with the entire DOM, and it's often done way inefficiently.
Access to the source without participating in the pen test is clearly governed by the contract I linked, both because that's what the page you need to click through to access the source says [0], and there is a different contract governing participants in the pentest [1].

I'm frankly more concerned with the indefinite NDA than the "you must continue to work for free clause". I'm reasonably confident that Swiss law doesn't allow for a clause to force me to work without compensation, and I'm quite confident that local law does not regardless of what Swiss law says. The indefinite NDA though strikes me as legally valid, and could plausibly put me in a situation where I'm stuck between keeping silent about vulnerabilities and civil disobedience [2].

I emphasized "without participating in the pen test" above because I just noticed an amusing loophole in the contract that makes the NDA somewhat (not completely, and still not the rest of the contract) reasonable.... The pen test agreement states

> If you sign up to the source code access programme and there is a conflict between the E-Voting Solution Source Code Access Agreement and the TC&CoC, the latter shall take precedence.

It also states

> Participants / researchers are allowed to publish their findings following a publication date agreed with the organizers. This date will be 45 days after the initial confirmation of the reported finding at the latest.

As such I think if I sign up for both programs the NDA on disclosing vulnerabilities is not indefinite.

It's giving you more than nothing.

It's fetching and replacing the HTML that needs to be changed, but removes the need to do a full-page reload, so the browser doesn't have to re-load and re-parse all of the HTML, and JS, and CSS. Even though the browser will keep a lot of this stuff cached, Turbolinks can make a site feel a lot faster from a user's perspective. But regardless, it's more than just a loading bar at the top of the screen.

Whether it's the right fit or not depends a lot on what you're trying to do.
> The origins of this report are suspect.

Potentially, but the data is now available and you can repeat the analysis yourself, which is a better position than we were in two days ago.

I'm not sure where they claim this - their lawsuit actually asks for all communications related to the NHTSA figure in question.

> Someone calculating the data incorrectly doesn’t make AutoPilot any more or less safe than it has been since the NHTSA reviewed the data in 2007.

Note the year in question is 2016.

In fact, we did not know how safe autosteer technologies were - this report shows that the report so many of us had relied on was, at best, poorly constructed.

> In any case an analysis from 2007 is hardly relevant today given how much the software has changed.

Again, the correct year is 2016. This could be true - hopefully Tesla will release a response with the data made available for independent analysts to assess the safety of their autosteer technology.

Ask HN: How to best approach new codebase in an unfamiliar language
I realize this is a very open-ended and possibly silly question, but how does one get acquainted as fast as possible with a new codebase, in a language he/she's not very proficient in?

I've been recently trying to pick apart some convoluted code in Java, which contains heavy-ish OOPisms. Ι come primarily from a Python/Go background, and I haven't worked with Java in a deeper level before, so I find myself trying different things. Unfortunately I haven't truly been productive yet, and I'm occasionally getting frustrated.

What are your stories, HN? Do you use IDE features to look up things quickly? Pen-and-paper notes and diagrams? Get a minimum example working and hack on it ASAP? Keep banging on the walls, hoping to make cracks?

Edit : Typos
SPA isn't automatically the best solution for a page or site with frequent updates.

The updates are handled by JavaScript and http calls.

You can write a lot of that stuff in a dozen lines of JQuery with nicely refreshing content and ajax instead of throwing in large amounts of framework bloat.

universal web app, that is web apps that can be rendered from the server or on the client are indeed amazing. Blazing fast loading on first use (like a traditional webpage), but also super fast to use for every subsequent actions (like a SPA). For a website like amazon, that can make a huge difference in revenues.
The price to pay on the other hand is complexity. It demands programmers that really know what they are doing, and even then, still has an overall cost you wouldn't find with an SPA.
Is it worth it? Well if you're a startup with 200 users, probably not. But for a big company, that can be a big way to improve results

I’ve been working on Snipline since around November and I’ve finally got it to the point where I’m happy to release it :).

My idea is that, instead of keeping commands in a note app or re-searching the web for them, you use them and then store them in Snipline for quick reuse. There’s also the added benefit of being able to replace context-specific parameters with each use. e.g. In a curl command, you would want to change the URL, the request type, headers, etc.

Some of the other features include, vim keybinds, multi-device sync, desktop apps as well as a web client. I’m currently planning on clients for mobile and command line in the future.

Counterpoint: you came from a well read family and were read to from an early age. Based on the implications of your story, you're literate and are an avid reader. You draw the conclusion that it was "the right book" but someone else could conclude that the exposure to books early helped get you to a state of literacy.

Also, literacy and "avid reader" are miles apart as goals. It seems you were already literate.
Great response. I chuckled at the first 5 panicking as that's dead on. The reality, as counterintuitive as it seems, is that when you're not going full bore your work is better (read: qualitative not quantitative focus). In turn, you can charge more and people trust your ability to produce a result more. The rest takes care of itself.

> What a lot of developers need to understand is that HTML shouldn't be use for layout. HTML should be use for semantic and information structure.

That was the great lie of the 2000s. It was oft repeated, but almost never adhered to. CSS Zen Garden was cool, but the typical attempt at "separating content from presentation" almost universally resulted in a div soup that was even worse than table layouts. If a div exists only to hang a class off it, so that it can be targeted in CSS, it's a part of layout, not semantic/information structure.

In a perfect world, in which most websites were not actively user-hostile, we could have separation of layout from content. It would include relinquishing control over rendering back to the users. It would require to stop obsessing so much over colors and layouts and custom controls. The very concept is anathema to the modern web, though.

The biggest problem for me was my (ex)spouse always pushing for billable hours. Every time I decided I wanted time off there was a constant nagging reminder and guilt of not only what it would cost to go and do what I want - for example cost of flights, accommodation, entertainment and food, but also the cost of the loss of income for that time off meaning that every time I was away from my keyboard it was costing me 10 times as much. There was always a reminder to "be responsible and not lose the income" which is a toxic mindset to be in.

These days I skip off work at every possible opportunity and to hell with anyone who can't comprehend my lack of will to bill every waking hour, partners and family included. I may not get paid as much, but there's so much more to life than work. Sure, I'm not billing when I could be and sure there's plenty enough work that I could bill 24 hours a day if I had enough energy and will power to do that, but I don't care. My mental health and my other passions need playtime or I'm going to flame out and never come back to this.

If you don't have a spouse that's supportive and encouraging of your need for downtime away from work, then you're caught in a double trap.

Even though your proposition is outside of the scope of typical cell phone use, I would likely live just as long as I would have lived without it, given that its radiation is A) non-ionizing and B) not focused.

As an example, you could spend 14 hours a day in the sun to no ill effect, but only about two minutes with a magnifying glass focusing sun rays onto your forehead.

Windows “failed” but the whole time Microsoft was making a killing selling DOS. Microsoft, Intel, and the PC manufactures were all making money. The PC market drove a demand for high performing chips and even when PCs were being commoditized, there was enough of a demand for high end processors to keep Intel’s R&D effort strong. The high end profitable niche of the Android market is teeny. It’s eveb worse in the tablet market and the wearable market.

Not even Google is making any real money on Android. It came out during the Oracle trial that Android has only made Google $39 billion during its entire existence. Even then, they pay Apple over $2 billion a year to be the default search engine for iOS devices. Mobile hasn’t been that great for anyone in the Android ecosystem.

Android as a whole is nothing more than unprofitable race to the bottom.

What use it to sell to 3 billion people buying $50 phones? If Apple starts losing the high end, then it needs to worry.

Even in the PC market, none of the PC manufacturers are rolling in cash - except for Apple. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple makes more selling Macs than all PC manufacturers make selling computers (excluding servers).

On a second thought, the biggest users of servers are probably cloud companies and Facebook and many of them are making their own servers.
One of the other posters here responded to you with:

>> Frankly, what you just wrote is what I want to hear in an interview.

I completely agree. Look back at what you wrote here. The word "I" appears plenty of times in your post and is very appropriate. You're talking about your experience so it makes perfect sense to mention yourself in that. You also mentioned the team and "we" a bit. Good. There is a lot of space between talking about your experience and being an egotistical jerk. Talk about your experience just like your post here and you should be fine.

1) Can this person DO things?

2) Can they learn things?

3) Are the interested in doing and learning the kind things we need done?
