Front-End web developer currently specializing in WordPress. I can build static websites or custom themes. I have rock-solid web fundamentals including ES6.
Regex is included in C++11, not sure why you'd need a library for that.
I was always under the impression that BSD or MIT + patents was Apache2?
No compute shader support in WebGL. Have to wait for WebGPU for that.
That's how I'm assuming how ETIAS will be implemented: you're usually not eligible for visa-free travel if you're already a citizen. In the past, border police never really cared if you tried to enter EU on your Canadian passport, even if it says you were born in Italy with an obviously Italian name.

But if it's the machine that's deciding these things based on the letter of the law, you might have a problem.

Maybe ETIAS will have a bigger carve-out for these situations than the US and Canada (which exempt eachothers' citizens). Or maybe they won't.

Good point. But maybe being in HN there is high demand also for not inventing something that knowingly takes money from dumb people.
There was a music chatroom a few years back (turntable.fm) that was trying to do this. You had 2+ DJ slots in each chatroom, and they would take turns picking the next song, and the participants in the room could update/downvote their picks.

It was great. The DJs would generally be good at sensing when the mood of the room needed a switch up, so you could generally stay in a single room the whole day and never feel bored with the music.

I guess they shutdown because they couldn't figure out how to license the music the DJs were playing.
Even at the start their rates were fairly bad, price crashes + being blocked must have made it a lot worse. And few legit sites are going to use something that gets them branded as hosting malware, even if only some of their users use software detecting it.
I agree with you, but if this is the case, isn't it a bit sad that YC funded something like this (or, equivalent, allowed the pivot into it)? Would YC fund a casino?
In some cases, the right to freedom from discrimination (or right to equal treatment), for instance Catherine MacKinnon and Langton have argued that pornography does this to women, and they're waiting on empirical confirmation of that[0]. Indeed, in some cases the law has even conceded the point and still favored freedom of speech[1] simply because it is speech. To me that seems like dogmatism. There are of course other issues here such as hate speech in the U.S. and those parties that argue for unequal treatment. Speech often makes people feel unsafe, for instance a Jewish neighborhood in which neo-Nazis are marching. Susan Brison has a good overview of the case against free speech[2]. To put it another way, why is it that we have a right to free speech but not a right to swing our arms? What exactly differentiates speech from other actions? Brison finds nothing there.

Okay, here's my feedback ignoring license terms:

It reminds me of https://templeos.org/, which is also decades of a single man's work. CIDLib doesn't really do anything that isn't already done elsewhere, and its organization is very strange with odd, antiquated names. Definitely reminds me of C++ you'd find in Windows 3.1 programs.

For example: what is "CIDMacroDbg.hpp"? Ah,

This is the main public header for the facility. It is the single point
of contact for the outside world. By including it, they get what we
have to offer.

Uhh..

Despite early detractors, touch interfaces are now dominant in mobile devices for this reason, their flexibility.

I'm in the market for a new flagship phone (mostly for a highly portable connected camera), and if I could get one with a physical keyboard I'd buy it in a heartbeat instead of debating and delaying trying to decide.

Especially in a car, reconfigurability is an advantage for the manufacturer more than it is for the user. Like you hint at in your last paragraph, touchscreens completely deny the use of, ironically, our sense of touch.
Trying to Tell a Persuasive Data Story?
Sure. That's why it happened.

But what to do with all those containers? Many current disposable containers are durable enough for long-term use. Even a couple centuries ago, they'd be passed down through families. Maybe they still are, somewhere.

But what do I do with hundreds of ~4L plastic milk bottles?
It would be interesting to see the slides of the other presentations given at the meeting. I'm quite sure that most agreed with the orthodoxy. But did any of them present data?

And if they did, how did they handle it? Compared (say) to how carefully they would handle data from their own field.
Buy like how do you guarantee that aside from saying it?
Good luck with that :) Any modern website requires javascript interpreter on client side, so unless you provide some sort of javascript interpretation (which can be messy), you'll be able to scrape only simple content with scrapy/BS.
I think I can give an unbiased answer - I remember The Offspring wrote a song about the same thing back in 1994 (ie pre-modern-internet, pre-smartphone) called So Alone.

"Look at the crowd and tell me whether / All are surrounded / But none are together / If you're awake, look all around / At all of the people / Still you're so alone / So alone"

The idea that our political systems in the west can address climate change is naive, in my opinion. Attempting to fix things while working within the system that created the problems fails. It seems to only lend validity to the system, rather than create a legitimate class movement against capitalism.
OCaml? Someone other than Jane Street is using OCaml?
> But when he said he “made his own web frameworks”, I’m assuming he was talking about this decade.

I re-read the comment in question. Not sure why you would have assumed that. Someone who is now 37 likely started programming before the age of web frameworks.
As somebody who has written software for traders, I think this is an excellent question.

If somebody really has some sort of advantage such that they can be consistently profitable, then at worst they could trade manually for a bit and then hire somebody to code.

Like others, I suspect the real appeal of a platform like this is similar to the value of a racetrack. It's selling hope and optimism to people who think they are smarter than everybody else.
That's a screenshot you are referring to. It just shows how to connect different blocks. Like see the first gif that shows the kind of blocks we have with an example of indicator block (RSI/MACD etc).
In no way there is a sign that it will make you profit. In fact it encourage you to test your strategies on past data and live data.
Will try to make it clearer.
That is basically how Chromium's development workflow goes. Instead of 'merge' we have 'git cl upload' (and subsequent code review and eventual committing/merging). All of your local commits and revisions are landed as a single squished commit in the main repo.

Well, take the ISC license (works everywhere where they ratified the Berne convention) and remove most of of the warranties and you have a EU license. Most of the EU countries lack laws about merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, or at least lacks the need to be explicit about it (either because a "software provided "as is" without any warranties" will be enough to disclaim all warranties, or because you can't disclaim some warranties). Just make sure it works in your jurisdiction. Any international questions will, iirc, be governed by whatever the UN deal is called which is a bit more lax about implied warranties that UCC in the US.

But it is a minefield anyway, so just use the ISC license.
That's quite a bit more reasonable than a mysterious disgruntled roommate extracting revenge through a convoluted cheating scheme over the better part of a year.
A great, easy to understand example is found in the drug Prilosec vs. Nexium, the latter of which is a stereoisomer of the former. Prilosec is Omeprazole, which is part of a class of drugs called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI’s) which treat severe recurrent heartburn and GERD, as well as esophageal erosion from those conditions. Prilosec (Omeprazole) was due to go generic, so the company decided to isolate and purify the S isomer and worked hard to convince the FDA that it represented a truly new treatment. IIRC the rationale was that the enantiopure drug was half the dose of the racemic mixture, and regulatory capture did the rest of the work. Of course there was no tangible benefit to taking 10mg of Esomeprazole vs 20mg of Omeprazole, except the monetary benefit for the company.

As to why some other company didn’t snap up the patent, it’s an expensive proposition and not trivial to make enantiopure drugs, so a lot of the R&D budget touted by apologists and shills is entirely self-serving. Now sometimes an isomer is actually superior to a racemic mixture and there are plenty of cases where one isomer is therapeutic and the other is ineffective or toxic. Of course in those cases none of this patent fuckery applies, and there is no way to get a new patent issued or FDA writ because only one viable form of the drug exists.

It’s also true that a generic in the case of something like Esomeprazole vs. Omeprazole is viable, and that’s where the astronomical marketing budget that dwarfs R&D comes into play. Advertising directly to patients and doctors ensures that plenty of people won’t understsnd the value of a generic is they were even aware of it. You also get cases, as with Epi-pens, where supplies of the generic are scarce compared to the expensive branded version.

Good list of this kind of thing found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enantiopure_drug
Writing code that is helpful to and/or maintained by other people. Attribution does seem like a rather low bar, but I would understand if not everybody cares.
I have a hunch this might be related to the way American friendships work. The structure of the educational system encourages many weak friendships rather than a couple strong friendships. This then translates into other life.

Facebook is fundamentally a tool for managing these weak friendships.

I generalize of course.
OTA enables progress.

Assume there's a bug - safety critical bug. You cannot reasonably call people in house all at the same time, and continue to risk their lives as they "don't upgrade".

OTA updates also over time increases software quality, enables experimentation and slow/controlled roll out.

You are worried about short term problems over long term promise.

Yes, that means you must use a US passport when you are leaving a US airport. When you enter at an EU port you you can use whatever passport you want (unless the country you are entering has a specific requirement). I have an old friend that is dual US / UK citizen and both countries require that he use his passport when entering / exiting the country. So he leaves the US using a US passport, and he enters the UK using a UK passport. And vice versa. If you are a dual EU/US citizen you ONLY have to use your US passport when you enter the US, and when you leave (which hardly counts because there is no exit immigration in the US). Once you arrive in the EU use your EU passport to take the fast line.
This could go the other way, like you might be seen as saying that women don't have hand-spans as big as men, meaning that they're not as good as men when it comes to their physical capabilities and as such "providing" them with smaller pianos might be looked at as "demeaning" towards said women (you're thinking about them as not being as good as men are). Gender politics can be fun like that.
That I'm well-aware of the difference in degree was explicitly spelled out in my original comment.

My point isn't that "both sides are equally bad" or some such - I don't believe that. It's clear that Republicans, by now, are engaging in all of these practices to a far greater extent.

My point is that you didn't make any distinction about the degree at all. You just said that these are all the things that those people did, and that's what makes them contemptible. I merely showed you what happens when that bar is applied consistently - Republicans end up looking really bad, but Dems still end up looking somewhat bad. If you don't like that result - and reject the notion that your team engaging in those same things on a smaller scale is still bad, just less bad, but enough to feel contempt over - then consider that perhaps your bar isn't where you articulated it to be.
Is anybody using OneDrive? The family pack for Office 365 seems to be quite fair value.
Huh, I didn't know of that - is that UK only? But from a quick perusal - yeah, exactly like that!
While I agree that they didn't handle it well, I'm mixed on this. While I think putting a miner on a site covertly is unethical, I also think blocking something that's not an ad in an ad-blocker is equally unethical.

I think a miner like this could provide an interesting way for people to monetize their content, as long as it's opt-in, but blocking a non-ad like this just totally deflates the argument that ad-blockers are about privacy or intrusiveness, and their really about people having their cake and eating it too.

Look up robot process automation and visual web scraping. Web scraping without having to write code is a well established field. Just not very popular with the HN crowd for obvious reasons.

Some example would be Scrapinghub's Portia system and the Kantu startup. There are also established players like UIPath and Visualwebripper.
Bah... no linux 32 bit binary for my old home-automation server.
I think the US needs a paradigm shift where it stops thinking of income taxation as taking something from someone. It's not, because under the rules of society, that person is never due that money in the first place. That money is the portion of the nominal sum that is "earned" that accrues to society for the support and conducive living environment that the provide to the individual.

It's true that it is coercive: that the individual may not want to live in a society where that is the rule. But this is also true of all laws, including private property laws. The idea that property laws are natural and obvious, whereas other laws are impositions is utterly unhelpful and the source of a lot of issues, especially in the US where it seems pretty much all non-military public programs are underfunded.
I'm not sure how it's a perfect alternative. It seems worse on almost every dimension.

You're stuck between running this miner covertly (scummy) or asking for permission (who is going to click yes?).

How much of Coinhive's income comes from users who are unknowingly running the code? It seems like a move towards more user-hostility, not less.

The one time I saw an actual fit for the end user was an online game that would let you turn on the miner to win in-game coins. Who else can pull off an opt-in?

> In birds, the variance for body size is larger in females.

Do you have a reference for this? I would be surprised, as I thought the explanation for variance was not about chromosomes, but about investment... but I don't actually know if that's true, and birds (WW/WZ as you say) or reptiles (temperature) would be interesting examples.
No, it relies on that, but the creation of multiple function clauses via different matched heads itself isn't simply pattern matching.
I use it for work. It is way better than it was a couple of years ago, but the sync is weaker than Google and much weaker than Dropbox, which is the gold standard.

If you don’t upload a lot of big files often and can deal with their restrictions for characters in file names it’s a great solution for 98% of people.
Side note: saying my beliefs need to die as the first thing you ever said to me is pretty aggressive.

But to your actual comment: I'm learning new things all the time. My focus when I'm coding in my spare time is a simple IDE, some project management tools, and a simple game engine I am building. I learn new things in those projects literally every day.

I'm not going to do a bunch of hello world apps in random new "Pro" technologies. I did a lot of that in my 20s, it was fun and I was curious about them, but my interests have shifted.

There are enough jobs I can say "no" to the people who want only coders who are using the newest "Pro" toolset.

Honestly, a good hiring manager will realize you ideally want BOTH that person and people like me on a team. One person will know that Rails 7 solves our new problem, and the other will know that a simple refactor will save 30 hours of headscratching over the next year.

> The platform is for traders who knows what they are doing.

No, the platform is for people who think they know what they're doing. Which it's why it's a bad idea. It's a very elaborate and expensive way for people to learn that the problem is much more complicated than they initially thought.
I shouldn't have said "crippled." It's just much more limited than when used in Erlang.

From digging a bit it appears to be somewhat the JVM's fault[0] and quite a lot of it is simply that it's a different type of language from Erlang.

In Erlang, nearly every line of code involves pattern matching, regardless of whether the developer takes advantage of it or not. Every assignment statement, every function return, every function parameter, is an exercise in pattern matching. It's at the core of the language, not an add-on.

As I mentioned in another comment, a closely-related feature that really shows it to its full advantage is multiple function heads/clauses.

I think in most cases “failed” just means the founders think there are other (clearer) opportunities to pursue. Doesn’t necessarily mean what they were working on didn’t make sense.

IMHO there still is quite an opportunity to find substitutes for ads that provide revenue for websites and aren’t as annoying as ads whether it is mining or something like SETI or something like re-captcha.

Would love to see more in this direction.
I think the Reason syntax is picking up a lot of steam these days, especially in areas where React is used (web frontends and ReactNative apps). You can see some of the companies using it here https://reasonml.github.io
This is one of the reasons Scrum stopped using the word commitment in favor of forecast https://www.scrum.org/resources/commitment-vs-forecast

Most people who say they are doing Scrum or think they are doing Scrum aren't really. Scrum is far from perfect but it's better than most of the bastardizations people invent for themselves when they claim to be doing it.
Can you please suggest a way to raise these topics that wouldn’t be considered “ideological battle comments”?

From my perspective, you routinely practice “the truth is offensive, mind your manners” style censorship: I don’t believe there’s any way I could have raised Democratic support of racist or sexist policies that wouldn’t have had you show up to censor that under the guise of decorum.

Genuinely.

So, please make a suggestion for a better way to discuss it, or admit you’re censoring for ideological reasons — that the truth is inherently offensive.

Again, from my perspective, the reason that comments like this generate such a strong response, including censorship from you, is because people can’t reply to them factually: my comment is factually correct, and the distress from that leads to the non-responsive comments and you censoring it to keep the peace. (The distress because of cognitive dissonance from having supported a party that acted that way.)

Censorship in support of groupthink is unhealthy.
I had read Terry's story and was sadden by it.

I see no conflict between the two approaches....As far as I am concerned, progress is progress.

I have been watching the CIDLib videos (ie CQC) and it appears to be a comprehensive IoT type platform covering almost every aspect of deploying an IoT type solution, including a drag-n-drop IDE to create control applications (think old DirectX filter programming but on steroid). I am sure there is room for improvement.

There is no such thing as ASIC-proof. You can make an ASIC for any deterministic algorithm.

True. Although you could probably design an algorithm which requires so many of the capabilities of a CPU, like a fast 64-bit FPU and a lot of cache, that the transistor count of an ASIC would approach that of a general-purpose CPU produced in much greater volume. This would make special-purpose hardware not cost effective.
Kotlin does not support pattern matching.
OP is referring to “Chartists” and technical analysis. If you google about for Bitcoin analysis this is unfortunately the sort of stuff that still comes up, sometimes even on Bloomberg . Your Bloomberg terminal will happily draw RSI, MACD, Bollinger bands and the rest of it in 2019 so that you can feel that you’re “adding alpha” as stated in another post.
All true. The only winning move is not to play (quit)
Why would you rent recycling bins? I use old 5 gallon paint buckets where I live that I just painted the color coding on and my recyclers don't care.

The thing with recycling is there are mountains of externalities to whether it makes sense or not way beyond just the question of if recycling itself is profitable, the most profound of which just being the carrying cost of consuming so much space with landfills, especially in areas of higher population density - you have more trash per unit area but have to carry that trash farther to get it away from the density. In those environments local recycling centers can be much more economically viable.
