I don't usually put myself in debates on HN but I have always thought of you as a very rational guy so I'm surprised you make this comment-

Situation A: where none of this happened. Ami reserves the right to publish photos. Perfectly legal.

Situation B: Present
Offer- I wont publish them. But if you cheat- we go back to situation A.

Plain and simple. I am no lawyer bit everyone I've read today says that basically bezos has no case and his legal allowed him to publicize evidence and comment on 'an ongoing case'- commentary which can alter the 'case' pretty much means there is no case. The only thing that remains to be seen (or ignored) is when Ami will publish his photos because if they really want to play this game- that's what their next step would be.
The "move pointer while button is pressed" behavior has been there forever, even on Win/Linux. Two-finger right clicking requires multitouch support which is not universal, however.

I wonder how many devs out there are going to basically hand over access to their companies property (private code repos) to this random guy by "signing in with github", without even thinking about what they're doing.
I have linux/libinput on my thinkpad T470. I have nothing to complain about the trackpad. I can do almost everything a two-button mouse can do with just the trackpad. I can left-click, right-click, multiple clicks, drag and scroll with just the trackpad. There are three mouse buttons that let me do additional things or some things much more easily.

Besides that there is an app Touchegg that lets you do more with the touchpad. But I haven't bothered using it because I am pretty happy with my setup.
Well, not everybody travels business. Me its for adventures, backpacking etc. No way I am carrying a laptop with me, even tablet is an overkill (rather I'll take heavier full frame camera for pics you simply can't take with phones).

So that leaves me with phone on which I want to preserve battery because adventures don't usually happen in concrete jungles of the cities, quite in contrary in fact. And usually crappy entertainment system, with really bad provided headphones (they don't block the engine noise very well so movies are sometimes hard to follow... I wish optional EN subtitles would be standard everywhere). I can handle it, I don't get bored with myself easily and usually carry a book on travels (migrating to kindle soon). But fun? Nah, that really ain't the word I would use.

It seems there are quite a few uber-rich people here that don't mind shelling out 500-2000$ on top of basic ticket for some additional comfort for 10-15 hours. I am not one of those, and neither is most of the population. I mean, I traveled in India for months, in buses where seat spacing caused me to be in embryonal position for 12+ hours, without possibility to stand up or stretch. So I can very easily handle one trip in plane. Unless it would be my minute income or less, I would rather put those money into improving the life of somebody poor but smart & hard working (plenty of those folks out there). You just need to find them and give it to them directly, no greedy middle-men.

It actually did get significantly better in Go 1.8, in early 2017. See https://golang.org/doc/go1.8 ("The overhead of deferred function calls has been reduced by about half.").

However, I think this change was mostly just an optimization for common cases with few arguments or no closures (e.g. "defer f.Close()").
Yeah birthright citizenship for one. Complaining that people who don't belong to a group don't identify with it and act like it is just stupid.

Question : modern PHP is great for websites, but what are the solutions when you need to make some async work ? For example if I need to make few third party API calls in parallel ? With Laravel I resorted to using queues which feels like more complicated than it had to be (each worker takes up quite a bit of memory). Eventually I switched to SQS + Lambda + node.js.
Is there any mature way to do async work in PHP ? In Node.js for example, it's quite trivial and powerful with promises and async/await

Right click is not required on Windows/Linux, except perhaps in highly specialized software - for the most common use, there's a dedicated [MENU] key and it has been there since Windows 95 introduced it, together with the super/logo key.
I was going to post something similar. Thank you for saying this.

I'll add that my recent laptop history was a series of thinkpads running linux, and most recently a newish MBP. The MBP reminds me how much I hate trackpads. I miss being able to click and drag w/o figuring out a shortcut. I miss not having the cursor shoot off into lala land when I accidentally drag the heel of my hand across the trackpad. I miss not having to move my fingers from the home row in order to move the cursor.

My next laptop will have a trackpoint.
> traits that are highly correlated with climate denialism

Sure. Since it is socially so much easier to be a secretly skeptic climate congregationist than an open climate denier, I'd bet one such correlated trait would be extreme honesty.
>Tipped workers have a lower minimum wage

Do they really though? The employer must guarantee that they earn the standard minimum wage, regardless of what happens with tips, so effectively their minimum wage is the same as everyone else's and all this stuff about "base pay" is a wordplay shell game.

Either way, what's effectively happening is the customer is subsidizing somebody who their employer would otherwise have to pay, so it all amounts to the same thing: your tips up to a certain level are going to the employer, not the employee.
I forget the names but various high-profile restaurants in the US have tried this, and abandoned it. I don't know whether the problem was with attracting capable waiters, or the price scaring off customers, or just change making people uncomfortable.

But there seem to be two equilibria. Opening a restaurant in Paris and telling diners they should tip 20% because you aren't paying the waiters (oh and we left VAT off the menu, another 20%)... even if this were legal, I think you'd have great trouble attracting either customers or waiters.

That's certainly true for clicking on a target but with a trackpad you can swipe to scroll/ pan and pinch to zoom and rotate giving you a much more expressive interface for many tasks. And as others have noted the difference between Apple's trackpad and others is vast.

A lot of suggestions here I agree with and I would specify HTML first, then CSS, then JS would be my prescribed order, and only vanilla/standard of those - no frameworks.

The reason is you need to understand the markup on a web page with HTML before you can alter its look/feel via CSS and before you start altering either via Javascript.

Frameworks will come and go over time, if you know the foundational aspects of what the frameworks are doing it will be easier to pick up the next framework that becomes popular.

Very neat implementation.
It gets worse with new words. Sometimes, there's a "correct" way of deriving the article I guess, but it sounds weird.

For example Blog. Correct would be "das Blog" (because "das Web-Log" = "das Logbuch" or "das Protokoll"), but "der Blog" sounds nicer imho. Some people say "das Laptop" although this sounds off for most and "der Laptop" is correct.

For other words, the article can change over time. Correct is "das Virus", because it's a Latin word and the ending -us comes with "das". But most people say (and the media writes) "der Virus".
Huh, I could have sworn your comment said you should use RISC-V instead. Apologies.
I imagine that part of the reason there are so many diehard trackpoint enthusiasts out there is because trackpad support in Linux is so frustrating. It's the one thing that I have never managed to make work and feel "right" on a Linux laptop (with the exception of fingerprint readers).

I am troubled by the lack of rational discussion of "capitalism" and "socialism" in the society today. Partially, this comes from the complete failure of modern academic philosophy to make cultural contributions. Part of it is from the weakness of a two party system that both seem to advocate for necessary and insufficient social functions.

The terms capitalism and socialism, on their own, are virtually meaningless, being shorthand for any number of specific policies. For instance: Are monolopolies a failure of capitalism or an inevitable outcome? Is capitalism stronger with or without monopolies? On the socialist side, is social ownership of the means of production necessary for maximizing the distribution of goods? Or are free markets and profit motives appropriate strategies for promoting social value?

Instead, you have the wall street journal treating socialism like idiocy and millennials treating capitalism as an obvious evil.

This is rather practical philosophy... So I'm disappointed things aren't further developed in our polical discourse.
"Das Layer", for me, 100%. But I can't give a reason.

Translations are difficult. If you are talking or writing you just use the first word that comes to mind, but when you are translating it takes active effort to decide on where to stop. On top of that, with open source translations there is always a bit of an assumption (and self-fulfilling prophecy) that power users would stick to the original English and when you think of an audience that does not know the technical terms it feels like helping them if you forcibly translate (which might be a mistake).
Thanks, that's one solution if making multiple calls is needed.
That was mostly an example though, for example if I wanted to run 3 functions in parallel, I don't find any "easy" and elegant way. Some libraries exist like amp, but it seems a bit heavy handed as the language itself doesn't have great tools for it https://github.com/amphp/amp
That's what Haskell already does. Dhall is optimizing on different dimensions (making sure the script execution ends, making the scripts verifiable at static time, making it convenient to marge files, making it convenient to centralize your configuration).
This provoked a wry smile from me too.

I only buy calls or puts, however, you have to look at the wheel in a different view. You are making pennies in front of a steam roller, but you are getting paid to buy the stock you want. Most people say, if AAPL goes to $140, I will buy. Well this lets you sell puts until AAPL hits $140, then you get assigned, so you get paid every week or 3 weeks it goes up. Then when you have the stock, you sell a call against it which helps reduce your overall cost basis.

This is a fairly easy strategy to automate and you can use a small account to do so.

The suggestion was to block it at the server not the browser. Presumably most of that 1% is because of old sites/servers and not old browsers.
Given that the article also has no information about the cause of the fire ("The firm has not yet commented on the probable cause of the blaze and the investigation could go on for quite some time") it's also fairly easy to read the earlier "electronics get hot" as trying to point towards a suspected cause.

As you say, it's total nonsense - even if the cause does turn out to be an electrical fire, it's unlikely to be due to insufficient cooling of the whole warehouse.

That's part of the inconvenience though, one of the advantages of CGI was the low tooling requirements.

> I think in this case, the fact that almost every language has migrated away from CGI-style routing is probably telling.

I mean sure, but beyond not being a very good protocol CGI needs to execute the handler script on every connection, Java is not known for that being cheap.

Indeed. I think it goes back much further too.

Restaurants are basically a 200 year-old technology, but rich people dining well when visiting each others' country houses goes back a lot further. And I believe it was the custom that, on departing, a visitor would tip the host's servants. It's my impression that this is where the custom came from (but not an expert opinion).

I can do way better than 20%. I do 100%. That's how I make my money and pay my bills. I charge for that skill because it has value. This is scalping which I don't do, it's just a good strategy to learn from, IMO.

I don't utilize it because my strategy is much better.

The risk with the wheel is getting assigned stock which you hold forever, but you sell calls against it and over time it ends up being profitable.
> some Latin doesn't hurt, "compassion" is just the same. "com" means with

English uses this "second register" to make words, which makes it harder. German and Dutch do not, they use the regular vocabulary. The classic example is scientific terms like "Carbon", ""hydrogen": In German "Kohlenstoff" and "Wasserstoff". It helps if you realise that "stoff" is stuff, material; "Kohle" is coal and "wasser" is water.

1. lock in to a specific platform with limited visibility tools and a dependency on a 3rd party when shit doesn't work

The logging analysis tools are excellent and it’s quite easy to tie your lambda logging to whatever tool you are using.

As far as “lock-in”, there is an Amazon provided framework in every supported language to just add a proxy that allows you to use your standard framework (Node/Express C#/ASP.Net, etc) and you cab deploy to Lambda or your traditional web server with no code changes.

2. when functions change you run into function incompatibility chaos and no smart way to handle that mess

What???

3. the "scalability" win is a lie, it's just deferred to whatever data storage service you are using - which ends up blowing up because while serverless scales, the db doesn't

Serverless Aurora (Mysql) and DynamoDB both have autoscaling. You can also auto scale Read Replicas fast with traditional Aurora.

4. addendum to 3, the statelessness of lambda means you can not use local caches to increase your throughput - increasing your hardware requirement

Again not true, if you are calling an endpoint frequently, the instance stays warm for up to around 15 minutes and can maintain state.

Also, you mention it's easier (why?) and hundred time faster, but I don't see anywhere a comparison with traditional regular expressions.
You're right and in some sentences, the entire meaning of the sentence only makes sense when you read the last word. Thus, a style guide for writing recommends to restructure the sentence as much as possible.

Unfortunately, especially in academic writing, some people want to appear smart and make their sentences super complicated on purpose. Fortunately, I'm not a student anymore and I stopped reading bullshit where the author doesn't respect the reader.

> The latter does not require quoted strings, except in ambiguous cases.

I believe it is the right choice to always quote strings, there should be various quoting formats as no single one is perfect (normal strings with reasonable escapes,raw string, multiline-with-indentation, multiline raw strings...) and you should be able to use unquoted keys (TOML has a good balance on this problem), but unquoted strings as a default are unnecessary and problematic.
