So you’re suggesting that one person decides that they like JQuery on the front end and one decides that they want to use plain Vanilla JS and one decides they like the look of Material UI, the other Bootstrap, and one happens to like sites that look like MySpace that’s ok?

And on the backend, if one developer liked log4net for logging, the other Serilog, and yet another developer likes to build his own logging framework that’s okay?

Let’s take this to a logical extreme, since one person is an old school VB developer and another likes F#, let’s just do that and throw in a little COBOL.Net for good measure....

And when a new dev comes in snsr takes forever to ramp up. No big deal. While we are at, let’s not follow the REST semantics either and no one needs those pesky frameworks like Express and ASP.Net. Let’s just go bare metal...

Or you could just have agreed upon standards....

If you’re going to have standards anyway, why not just use frameworks where you can open a req for the required framework that lets you get some developers who you can make sure already know the basics?

You’d be surprised at how many cheap developers you can get to throw together your yet another software as a service CRUD app using React.
> I don't understand what you mean by conservation of gravity. Do you mean conservation of mass?

I don't. Say you suddenly open a wormhole and gravitational force pours though. This would violate conservation of gravity since now there is gravity when before there wasn't. i.e. such a wormhole would be impossible.

Or some kind of gravity shield that blocks any gravity from passing. Again, violates this rule. (It would have to deflect the gravity instead, so the total force doesn't change.)

> there's nothing in any of our physical theories that says you cannot have magnetic monopoles

It's not about having the monopole, it's about creating just one of them, and not creating both at once. I believe there is a conservation of magnetism law that would prevent that, analogous to conservation of charge (you can not create just one charge, both a plus and minus need to be created together).
Where do you find yourself spending your internet time instead?
Thanks for your service.

I paid for my college via the USAF. I'm helping my kids with similar deals that you describe.

With hard work, part-time jobs, good ACT preparation and well-chosen schools, college is definitely in reach.
Waiting for the API to be turned off to force use of the official app. I am subscribed to lots of niche subreddits and love browsing reddit from my app of choice, but when the day comes that they force me to use the reddit app, I will abandon ship.

They won't care, because they probably make no money off of me.

The idea that flags here are sensible is hilarious.

A nice Clojure project. I also like the AGPL license business model. I really like to see Libre software licenses used when they make sense. For an end user business intelligence tool, I don’t see problems for end users grabbing a stable JAR and just running it. Hopefully a future enterprise version and money made from buy an alternative license when integrated into a larger system will keep the developers well funded.

I'm not a fan of these types of efforts. You could be putting energy into making Rust better. Memory management aside, C++ has become an incomprehensible mess filled with cruft. Rust does much more than provide safety, it provides better abstractions, a better type system, and actual tooling. Building tools for C++ to keep the ship afloat just means we have to deal with writing C++ longer.
Well 10% of the front page of the internet, and they do have 20% of the world population.

> all the features people want like chargebacks being stripped out of it.

Chargebacks were never stripped out because they don't exist. Bitcoin has always had irreversible transactions, and many people view that as a feature.

Your argument would carry more weight if you didn't have inaccuracies in it.
Ugh this is so true about Twitter. It really does seem like the feed is filled with political retweets. Good idea about turning them off.
One nice thing the Asus firmware has is nice grouping of devices for family members which can show monitoring, overall usage and even quick shutoff controls if necessary. Does the Unifi stuff have the equivalent, even if a huge pain to set up?
"Our mission is to ensure that physical retailers can innovate and improve their stores with data, in the same way their eCommerce counterparts do, while protecting customer privacy."

Unfortunately "the same way their eCommerce counterparts do" is by violating customer privacy.

The only reliable way to protect customer privacy is simply to not collect the video and other data in the first place.

10+ year user, I only consistently browse ~3 subreddits now. I realized it was time to move on when I was using Reddit Enhancement Suite more than Reddit itself. My subreddit filter list (so not including keyword filters, blocked users, domain filters, etc.) is currently 1,391, which translates to 2 or 3 unfiltered posts out of 25 if I browse r/all.

"Why don't you just browse your own front page instead of r/all?" I do, but Reddit decided it would be a great idea to limit the number of subreddits they display on your frontpage unless you purchase their premium membership. As a result, even though I'm subscribed to many interesting subreddits, I only see content from the largest and most active ones on my frontpage and the rest of them are hidden from me.

I started browsing r/all instead and filtering out all of the subreddits that don't interest me as a workaround to the above problem. I used to see a lot of interesting subreddits pop up on r/all, but as the site has grown real content has become drowned out by low-effort meme subreddits that multiply like rabbits, politics, and karma-farming bots that repost incessantly. Right now on the first 10 pages of r/all 15/250 posts pass my filters. I have no doubt that over the next few years this number will continue to decrease towards 0.
gVisor is also pretty neat, they say KVM support is experiemental though: https://github.com/google/gvisor

gVisor is used behind Go 1.11 on App Engine so Google must be fairly confident that it's a sufficient security boundary though I'm fairly sure they don't use the public KVM isolation so YMMV.
Just anecdata, but I have vaped 0mg nicotine while helping a friend decide what flavors to buy in bulk while at a vaping convention. All the juice makers have it in stock. Whether that's because there's actually demand or if that's a best practice or legal cushion is another question.

> They designed their desired genome sequence on a computer, and synthesized the DNA by chemically printing it into segments, and then assembling those segments together into a complete genome.

Just to be pedantic, but insightful (hopefully) those 'assembly' stages were in other host organisms (e coli, first, via Gibson assembly, then, yeast using TAR cloning) -- I worked in that lab.
Gosh, what a surprise. I'm sure this saga will convince the general public of the need to be more sceptical about pie-in-the-sky bullshit in the future, and nobody will ever fall for pseudo-scientific scams again.

> The declining hash rate, the declining price, the exchanges going under

This has happened every previous cycle. When mining becomes less profitable, the hash rate declines and difficulty declines until it reaches equilibrium. Currently 1800 BTC are being created every day, but when the next "halvening" happens I wouldn't be surprised to see an increase in price as all of a sudden the same amount of demand is competing for half the daily supply (900 BTC).

If you look at past cycles, the "halvening" has precipitated many BTC bull runs.

The geometric shapes you see when hallucinating on things like psilocybin were studied in the 1920s by a guy named Heinrich Klüver. He called them form constants [1] [2], and the honeycomb pattern is one of them. They've been observed with mind-altering drugs, as well as near-death experiences, synesthesia and other extreme experiences.

This brought back some good memories. My dad had to work in a remote area for a while and rented an apartment. No DSL/broadband either. We had DSL/broadband back at "home" and I setup a dialup server (running on Windows 2000) built out of spare parts. I forget the details but remember it worked fine, up to around 33.6 kbps. Of course, it tied up two phone lines when in use.

What does it mean for America when it's no longer the owner or creator of culture? It's historically one of our largest (and most important) exports. I'm not sure if that claim to fame is a net positive for the world, but the changing of this guard will certainly have a local impact.

I'm just not yet totally sure what it means, broadly.

For the sake of argument here, consider a different perspective.

Can the voting US public really make a difference to foreign policy with the UAE\Saudi Arabia?

===

There's a grey area that's worthy of discussion, but we the voting public and as voters for democratically elected governments have cracked the shits with governments and international businesses for much less than what Saudi Arabia have done as a hostile, extremist sovereign third party has achieved. The only difference with Saudia Arabia is the ridiculous amount of financial influence they hold and this blurs borders on the cost/value of morality.

Most companies are beholden to their share holders to make a profit, but at which point do write a line in the sand and say, we no longer allow money to grey the lines on what we consider morale and immoral?

===

Also consider the US voting public are losing their shit about a wall at time of writing. That's a fairly black and white concern when you consider the implications and rather obvious cost benefit (slim to none). The border wall is potentially the biggest white elephant that's gone to US policy in recent times. It's not going to work. And it's going to be incredibly expensive if it is built. Yet... a strong portion of the public still want it built. And it will be at the expense of schools, public health, infrastructure, disaster relief.

Now consider.... you think the US voting public have the collective nous to make an international impact on US foreign policy with an extremist, wealthy 'ally' like UAE\Saudi Arabia? Sincerely?

I don't have the same faith in the public hive mind as you. But... I don't have another option that can help besides publicly discussing the point as we are. For all the benefits of how much better life is for those living right now vs prior generations. We do an exceptional job at shitting in our own beds over and over again.

There's no difference between our two ideas except that I have put both "versions" together in one string (please correct me if I'm wrong here).

The reason I've done this is because the second you make one version the "real" version that developers will see in their config files, that number will once again take on "emotional" value and lead to resistance to updating it.

There is theoretically nothing stopping node developers from using the system you describe today -- except that the "API" version is the one that people see in their files, and so naturally becomes the "spoken" version. If the "public version" isn't represented anywhere meaningful, then it requires a tremendous amount of 1) work on the developer's part to communicate its existence, and 2) restraint to maintain the spirit of the semver that users will actually repeatedly see. This is certainly something that a big corporation like Google is capable of, but small package developers in the ecosystem have shown that they are unwilling to do. The simple hack is to just append the "public version" to the front of the "API" version, and now everyone is happy.
You can do this with a non-SPA website just fine if the website's backend is the API client. Sure, it adds an extra layer of indirection between the browser and your data, but if the separation of concerns is really your goal, then that's probably as good as it gets.

No I don't believe that Google or Apple should make money from the oppression of women. I believe this app is free, so they don't appear to be in this case. Nevertheless, I'd like to see it removed.

But nor do I believe that Sundar Pichai or Tim Cook were aware of this app previously or had any personal responsibility for it.

Nor do I think they should be vilified for shaking hands with MBS prior to the murder of Khashoggi, and especially not prior to the Yemeni war.

Can’t tell if this is sarcasm to be honest. SegWit added a small amount of breathing room without changing block sizes. Not increasing block sizes lead to the split into BCH, then further into BCHABC and BCHSV.

I post jokes here occasionally, and often feel like my share of upvotes might be a little too biased toward joke posts or reflexive comments that would fit in a tweet.

But one of the most important things of being a successful comedian is to play to your audience. On HN, you cannot be crass. You cannot be dumb, but you can be pun. You should not be satirical, but you can be ironic, and you should know the difference. And you absolutely cannot be cruel or stereotype others -- these jokes aren't really funny anyway, despite what people think. Those comments deserve all the downvotes, and occasionally flags.

But a certain kind of joke is part of HN culture, especially those that make you think. Humor is the nexus of our expectations and reality being in conflict, and the best jokes can demolish our illusions.

It's nice when I don't have to enable JavaScript just to use a website. My battery appreciates it at the very least. Forcing me to run arbitrary Turing-complete code from the Internet just to, say, read an article or buy something online is not okay, especially when that code exists solely to either 1) spy on me or 2) reimplement half of my browser.
Don't worry, they own some Lyft too.
I want my code to be usable by anyone developing free software of their own. I want them to be able to integrate it, modify it, redistribute their modified copies, and more.

The GPL, being long and complicated (over 5000 words, and that’s just the GPLv3!), and with the ideological restrictions built in, is incompatible with many widely used free licenses, not least previous versions of itself. In any situation where social or legal barriers prevent the target audience from switching to the specific version of the GPL in question, any code I release under it is unusable to them.

Releasing my software under a simple, understandable, and permissive free license prevents this from ever happening.

I dislike proprietary software. I don’t use it or create it, and advocate against it wherever I can.

But given the choice between letting some Chinese featurephone developer use my code without “giving back,” and preventing swaths of the free software community I care about from using and improving my code for themselves, I will favor permissiveness every time.

Again you side step. This time side stepped that everyone’s now heard of and been burned by btc which was not true prior to the last run up, that my figures are still astronomical whether halved or not, or quartered, or eighthed. That major companies were burned by it. VCs were burned by it. That people have come down from their hopium high and realized blockchain in and of itself won’t solve literally any problem it’s thrown at better than MySQL will.

You side step explaining why you think your money should be magically worth more over time.

The question is whether there’s still 2.4 or 1.2 billion in new cash to add every single year until the next “mooning” which if were using your own expectations will be followed by an equally horrific crash.

It is rare for general purpose languages to make matrices as easy to manipulate as MATLAB does. Maybe Julia will fill this need, once it becomes more popular. Right now, for fast coding involving matrices (not necessarily fast running time, mind you), MATLAB takes the cake.
> I'm sure they love being told they're wrong because they're young and vain.

I wouldn't say that, but it is a decision based on vanity and it does tend to come from younger/junior coders in my experience. Making one bad decision based on vanity doesn't make you vain though IMO. It's not personal vanity either, it's "code vanity" so maybe a better word would be: hasty or risky...

Anyway, the effort that it takes to setup and use Prettier (which we use) or before that, "eslint --fix", is the least amount of effort of all the options.

You're expending more effort to memorize edge-case rules than my teams are if you're not using Prettier and if you are using Prettier but without semis, then you risk running into a bug like the one that broke Twitter Bootstrap due to lack of semis.

It's just a bad decision.

> I think people who really care about semicolons in JS are people who just don't write a lot of JS...

> I'm aware styleguides recommend semis but I'm more referring to people who have strong opinions about what is a minor semantic.

It's not just some guides, it's the majority of the most popular style guides and the biggest JS-using companies that write and use those guides, which recommend semis.

It's also not a minor semantic. The language requires them and if you make the error of omitting them, the runtime will try and correct your error. Depending on this runtime behavior is the kind of hasty and shallow decision that costs real money. That's why the most popular style guides recommend them and that's why the de fact standard is to use them. Googles style guide requires them company wide. The people who wrote these guides really cared about semicolons, that's why they put it in the rules.
