Isn't that the beauty of language? Communicate meaning through words. I agree that the word "forge" might not be defined as "a source host that adds collaboration features like issues and pull requests", however you have to admit that the word captures that meaning fairly well. What other word could be used to communicate the same meaning? Hub? Bucket? Lab? Hut? It could very well be a nod to SourceForge, but the idea of a software forge captures well, in my opinion, the kind of services that those websites offer.
I don't care what gets built, but the province really needs more trains. "The market is too small", people tell me. But then I see all the cars on the highway between Montreal and Sherbrooke and I'm pretty sure there is enough people there to fill a train every 1-2 hour. What the current prime minister really wants is just more room for cars (see "3e lien") . The "much more modern things" (than trains) are probably just a way to keep us thinking & talking while not building train lines for another 3 years.

As my comment near the top of this comment tree hinted, I pretty much do find statically-typed languages to be overall quite superior, but the reason that I find myself defending dynamically-typed languages all over this thread is because of the hard-line being taken by many that they couldn't possibly have any advantages in any situation. I do plenty of scripting, to improve both my personal and professional productivity, and I don't even think twice about using Python instead of Kotlin or C++ or what-have-you. I iterate rapidly on my scripts, they're not part of large engineering systems that a reader may be bouncing around, the rare bug that may pop up isn't production-critical, and the ability to be both fluent and concise just makes the code faster to read and write, given the small scope of the program. This is sort of a lazy example, because it's not far from the truth to say that scripting languages are suited to scripting and that's why they suck for engineering, but it illustrates the point that different situations can highlight or downplay the importance of the relative strengths of weaknesses of various languages and paradigms, and there are few common programming-language characteristics[1].

The problem here is that half the people on this thread are looking for a simple, low-dimensional model to cram the issue into, requiring dynamic languages to have _zero_ advantages in order to sustain their view that statically-typed languages are superior overall.

I'm not really sure how to fix this tendency, and it's by no means limited to just disputes within the field of programming, Simpler, black-and-white models are much easier for the brain to handle, so people gravitate towards them even when they don't match reality as accurately.

[1] though it is fair to say that a big chunk of the advantage of dynamically-typed languages is "accessibility to those who barely know how to code", which doesn't affect the calculus for someone who's capable of writing in either type of language

Microsoft Flow is a really powerful - in terms of advanced capabilities it offers.
If you're bought into the Office 365 ecosystem - the add-ins to Teams, Excel and SharePoint are really nifty. You can even run a "flow" over row data in Excel. I personally use this to file and track bugs - saves so much time for me.

It also has capabilities that allows you to connect to any REST API - look up Custom Connectors.

Finally, if you don't have Office 365, you can sign up for a free account using your personal Outlook / Microsoft account to test the waters.

Disclaimer: I work on Microsoft Flow and am very excited to see it here on YC.
It depends how it gets prioritized by the companies that own and contribute to these codebases - both open and private source. Right now there's not much incentive financially to migrate away from any of the existing code, so more often than not it will not happen.

One reason why we're seeing stuff like the [FirecrackerVM](https://firecracker-microvm.github.io) or [AzureIoTEdge](https://github.com/Azure/iotedge) is that the companies behind them know they will attract privacy-/security-minded customers they might not otherwise have.

There's other reasons as well, but this is just what stands out to me first.

I have to ask... what went so wrong? If you had a time machine, what would you tell your younger self?
Well, 2to3 works surprisingly well and I've converted tons of projects with it. Most major Python projects support both 2 and 3, so, private codebases, which "just work", should stay on the "just working" old versions of the interpreter instead of insisting maintainers to waste time entertaining their laziness, because things that "just work" don't require ANY updates, right?

> Moreover, verification is done with respect to specific properties that ensure no attacks of a particular kind.

No. seL4 proved functional correctness. It eliminates all attacks, not just particular kinds.

Functional correctness means implementation matches specification. As a corollary, seL4 has no buffer overflows. Proof: Assume seL4 has a buffer overflow. Exploit it to run arbitrary code. Arbitrary code execution is not part of specification, hence implementation does not match specification, leading to contradiction. QED.

Above proof applies to use after free, or any other exploits enabling arbitrary code execution, including methods which are not discovered yet.
There are different conceptions of what counts as a synthetic cell, but in this work the DNA is indeed synthetic. 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. There are commercial providers that will synthesize DNA from sequence information [1].

The actual design itself was heavily based on the genome of a natural organism, M. mycoides. They sequenced its genome and built an experimental dataset of which genes were essential and which weren't, then designed and printed a genome using the native sequences of just the essential genes.

Work on synthetic cells is now moving in a few directions, including designing the genome from scratch and building cellular or cell-like chassis to 'run' the genome. [2] Even in designing a genome from scratch, however, we would still be using proteins sourced from nature, because our ability to design proteins is still very limited. One way to think of this is that the biological world provides a massive pre-designed parts catalogue, and then we can compose those parts in a synthetic genome.

I'm a graduate student working on building a cell [3], happy to answer any other questions you might have.

I'd love to hear more about your reasoning. Obviously metrics and dashboards are shiny CTO-bait, but what would people be looking for in terms of business outcomes?

There isn't any. Infowars and company were banned from various content platforms for violating platform policies.

These features existed in the form of 3rd party libraries like react-loadable for code splitting and recompose for hooks. I don't know any serious React devs who haven't used code splitting in the past few years, and recompose was very popular as well. We just have a canonical way of doing these things now.

The current price is back at the price in August 2017. Anybody who got in before the subsequent speculative wave is doing absolutely fine. The $20,000 price of December 2017 was a speculative fluke of some kind of wannabe gold rush. For someone like me, who got in years before, I am actually happy that the hot money is mostly gone now. That batch gold diggers were turning the entire scene into a gigantic lottery carnival.
You might be able to, but you won't be happy with the results -- cell phones use low bandwidth compression codecs, around 12kbs if I remember correctly, but for use as a modem, you'd be lucky to get half that or less.

I thought you didn't want to be burdened with selling ideas, but just wanted authority to implement them without convincing people.
I started my programming career at 17. Suffered burnout at 21. Went to university for a year but was offered a job that was too good to pass up. So I left and didn’t return to school until I was 30.

I took 2-3 classes per semester plus spring and summer courses through correspondence. I continued to work (freelance/consulting) during that time.

My degree is an Honours Math degree (no minor), but took a few upper level CS courses, linguistics, classics, and a few other electives which were all very rewarding in terms of academic experience.

I had in mind to pursue a PhD but I’ve been successfully freelancing since graduating.

It took me at least a year or two of asking the same questions you are before I finally made the decision to start taking classes again. I was in a good situation financially so that wasn’t a hurdle. In the end I felt it was just something I had to do.

Note well: "tobacco use" is a umbrella term that includes e-cigarette use (with nicotine), since the nicotine in vape juice is derived from tobacco plants. Also note: "combustible tobacco product use" declined.

"Among high school students, during 2011–2018, no significant trend in the reported use of any tobacco product overall was observed (Figure 2). However, changes were observed for individual tobacco products over this period. A significant nonlinear increase in current e-cigarette use occurred from 2011 (1.5%) to 2018 (20.8%). During 2011–2018, significant linear declines in combustible tobacco product use (from 21.8% to 13.9%) and ≥2 tobacco product use (from 12.0% to 11.3%) occurred; by product type, significant linear declines occurred for cigars (from 11.6% to 7.6%), smokeless tobacco (from 7.9% to 5.9%), and pipe tobacco (from 4.0% to 1.1%). A significant nonlinear decline was observed for cigarettes (from 15.8% to 8.1%). A significant nonlinear change during 2011–2018 was observed for hookahs (from 4.1% to 4.1%).

Among middle school students, no significant change in use of any tobacco product overall occurred during 2011–2018 (Figure 3). However, changes for individual tobacco products were observed. A significant nonlinear increase in e-cigarette use occurred (from 0.6% to 4.9%) during 2011–2018. A significant linear decline was observed for combustible tobacco product use (from 6.4% to 3.3%), ≥2 tobacco products use (from 3.8% to 2.4%), cigarettes (from 4.3% to 1.8%), cigars (from 3.5% to 1.6%), smokeless tobacco (from 2.7% to 1.8%), and pipe tobacco (from 2.2% to 0.3%); a significant nonlinear change occurred for hookah smoking (from 1.0% to 1.2%)."

The cost of these security flaws is likely to become more expensive than the cost of replacing the existing software.

Expensive to whom? When was Microsoft or RedHat or Oracle or the FreeBSD foundation last fined or sued because of a security flaw - an unmanaged memory one, specifically?

When was a random company or developer fined or sued for same?
Yeah, seems like a moral panic to me. If we smoked coffee, it’d probably be carcinogenic, that doesn’t mean that consuming it otherwise is an “epidemic.”

> `reselect` is an option that you don't have to use.

Of course.

It just happens that for my real life needs I've needed state that was derived from redux state: filtering, selections, pagination, normalizing / denormalizing state, relations between entities (classic library data model problem) etc.

So I kinda can't "imagine" any "serious" work with redux without helpers like reselect etc.

> Easy to read/write once you understand the pattern.

Sure, there is nothing "complex" about any of that.

And I am genuinely asking how people deal with that.

It is just way too verbose for me. So I am wondering, how other people approach it.

Close their eyes and plow through? Don't really care?
One angle is there is a fair amount of need for back end stuff for IoT.

That said embedded covers a wide range of things, from tiny bare metal projects to single app full up computers.
When the list says "Debian" or "Ubuntu" it includes all software in Debian and Ubuntu. That includes software like Google Chrome, Firefox, Python, Ruby, etc. For example out of the 40 listed in 2019 in Debian 36(!) are Google Chrome bugs, not Debian bugs.

Do go ahead and count CVEs in Windows and Windows software (games, office, databases, browsers, etc.) and come back with your results for an apples to apples comparison or go back to Reddit and troll.

> "The hard part will be when they integrate such software into every appliance. Anyone have any idea what those of us concerned about privacy will do then?"

Purchase appliances that don't have those software integrations. It's not that difficult. The market exists for it, and so the products will always exist for it as well.

If you're concerned about other people having smart appliances around you, well, then that should be the least of your worries when companies like Facebook already have a dossier on nearly all of us whether or not we have accounts.
Too complex to beat their easy-to-use competition (e.g. Google WiFi) and too simple to beat their feature rich competition (themselves in Unifi, Orbi, Asus, etc). Essentially the worst of both worlds. Plus the price is high without justification.

Why would I recommend AmpliFi over any of the half dozen alternatives on the market? Reality is that I simply wouldn't, and this coming from someone who loves Unifi/EdgeMax.

They also shipped a clearly not-ready product which took months to patch, not cool.
/me is one of the minions from team "Eye of Sauron". However I'm not stuck in this tower.

I'm torn between two worlds. One side applauds the grass roots based solutions and the JFDI attitude. The other side is concerned that these solutions becomes widely used, de facto production, and problems upstream ends up breaking the output. On error, hopefully fails loudly but subtle problems could creep in. If the reports are consumed by other automation, the problem spreads rapidly.

Ideally the IT department would take a step back, assess what the users (you the stakeholder) needs are, and provide the solutions. Better Agile.

Using the successes to drive more development and operations budget is the way to go.

If you have Ethernet or coax or even power line you can backhaul the mesh network. This means that the meshed WiFi boxes don’t need to coordinate over WiFi so you get better throughout. The mesh part is important if you want multiple base stations with the same ssid.

To clarify how punch cards worked: most of the characters in BCDIC/EBCDIC had one or two holes per column, but some had three. E.g. $ had three punches 11-8-3. In addition, you could use "column binary", where each column had arbitrary punches to hold 12 bits of data.

Regarding the parent comment, there's no reason you'd display the hole pattern for two cards on an 80x24 display. The point is you'd use 80-column displays so each line represents the contents of a card.
Both Sundar Pichai and Tim Cook met and shook the hand of MBS. All smiles. None of these men care about women or LGBT unless it's legally enforced. Yes, the irony that Tim Cook is gay is not lost on me.

Even Sam Altman says he doesn't understand the significance of a journalist being murdered by MBS in a consulate.

Big surprise people here don't like when the truth about Sam Altman is revealed.
As someone who has never once paid for an app or paid for in-app purchases, nor do I allow apps that show ads, I find this staggering.

But at that point what you're doing has no resemblance to semver. And there is nothing at all wrong with that!

Just don't call it semver, because if you do, people will expect it to be... y'know... semver.

The same applies to putting your not-semver version number into places where people or tools expect a semver number to be placed. If you encounter those places (like npm) please put an actually-semver number in them.
I strongly believe that we should all be taught ~primitive engineering like this.
BTC is fundamentally flawed because it's deflationary by design. It will never be used as currency for that reason, only as a store of value. As a store of value I'm not convinced of it vs. other assets. Stocks are liquid and have good yields in a mostly regulated environment, while real estate is improvable and multi-use. Cryptocurrencies could be valuable if proof of work led to a valuable information resource, such as labeling data or hosting content in a distributed web, and if there was no cap on the amount of crypto currency that could be generated.
Marv Minsky wrote a book that explores this idea. "The Society of Mind". I don't think it is "correct" but it is a model and interesting. Recommend reading it.

"Apple and Google accused of hosting Saudi gov't app that tracks women " is a weird phrasing. It's absolutely, 100% verifiably true they host it, as the article plainly states:
