well if you know postgres, you will know that at first there was pgadmin3, which was really fast and a really good/decent application.

however somebody tought it is a good idea to redo everything and build some kind of new application, which is a client/server application and the client is actually a javascript application which is hosted in a desktop application or directly in the browser.
However the desktop application is just garbage.
A few years ago I traveled solo through Bulgaria for a few days from Serbia to Greece on a 50cc Yamaha DT50R, avoiding major roads (due to small engine and it's just fun - spent a month going from Marseille to Istanbul - loved all the ex-yugoslav countries).

Never noticed anything dangerous while traveling in Bulgaria, although Sofia has that normal big city be-careful feel to it. No bribes required either.

Obviously only a few days and not a local and maybe I didn't see the rough areas...

Edit: obviously there is danger throughout many parts of Europe. I just wanted to say that travelling solo through mountainous roads on a 50cc motorbike and often staying in hick areas, I felt welcome. Then again: I wasn't in a campervan or riding a BMW; I am not from a usually hated country; YMMV.
>Are you insinuating the EU has implemented GDPR as a means to get some extra funding instead of to protect its citizens?

Yes, because its "protection" is just another form of security theatre.

> do you think that before GDPR there were no victims, but now, post GDPR there are lots of victims and they are the US IT industry?

How are you defining victims? People and government agencies (in the EU…hahaha) who blindly continue to use services of non compliant companies (within the US and outside of the US) while putting up superficial barriers against such at the same time?

Sure, humans can have rights, until they end up on the end of metadata drone strike from partially collated data from said institutions supposedly apart of the "protectors".

At the end of the day, governments nor corporates will give anyone privacy esp to those who dont take meaningful practical steps to combat intrusions for themselves in their everday life for whatever reason… though I don't mind having a laugh at those dancing to the tune of this circus of the piper singing what they want to hear.

I’m assuming that you didn’t read the section of the essay where I summarise Shanteau, Kahneman and Klein’s findings? Complexity of systems is one aspect, certainly, but valid and regular causal inferences are by far the dominating factor. Doctors, nurses, and auditors appear on both sides because they belong to fractionated fields of expertise. I have included a definition of ‘fractionated’ (their terminology, not mine) in the essay.

(Also, Marlie Chunger is a fictitious character invented to illustrate some of the ideas in the series.)

That's a good and positive idea in regards to framing principles towards human rights.

While inclusion is the antidote for exclusion, we are not faced primarily with an exclusion problem. There's simply been too many religious-justified atrocities and crimes from various religions. This world's violence and crime is ridiculous, and the details of the crimes are the extreme opposite of human rights.

I was taught that superstition was unhealthy. Perhaps I was brainwashed with anti-superstitious propaganda? My main "phobia" is: religion as a force in politics and education. Religion should stick to what it's good at - peaceful prayer gatherings. I support "freedom of peaceful prayer gatherings".

What happened at the mosques in NZ - unspeakable, sickening, the work of a deranged paranoid meat-head terrorist. More violence for fictitious reasons. Too long festering in corners with other truthers, confirming each other unchallenged; combined with likely sociopathic condition. (sorry for long post, passionate issues)

You can use console in browser to control playback rate:
1. select video element with: $('video')
2. than set playbackRate property on it

example write in console: $('video').playbackRate = 3; (and playback rate would be 3x) Works with rates between 0.0625 - 16.0(tested in Chrome and FF).

I wonder why I'm not getting this barrage of robocalls. I live in Netherland, not the US, so presumably that's why, but are robocalls not a thing in Europe? Do we not have these kind of predatory companies? Do we have surprisingly effective legislation to stop robocalls?

The only phone spam I'm getting are people trying to sell me new energy contracts (that's something that happens when you have a company for some reason), and tons of British recruiters trying to get me to work in Belgium or Germany for some reason.

>Consider it as a meta language to compile to native platforms is one way for the adoption of JS itself.

Compiling to javascript was never a good idea, it was only ever, at best, an adequate kludge for which no alternative existed. Now we have Webassembly, an actual bytecode which can run on native platforms and the web, and which doesn't carry the semantic issues that come with compiling one high level language to another poorly written, poorly designed, poorly typed one and pretending it's basically the same as machine code running on bare metal.

We can finally drive Javascript back to the web where it belongs and where it should remain quarantined.

Show HN: Lookup details about any IP address
Detecting website visitor locations can be useful to keep track of login patterns or other metrics. For a popular web application I needed to save the IP address and visitor country upon login. If a login attempt was made from an unknown location (or TOR) I could ask the user for a second (or third) factor authentication.

There are plenty of services offering geo IP information and I've tried a few. I've been thoroughly disappointed. Every single paid service managed to "guess" a city and country where I came from and every single one was wrong. The services looked great but upon closer inspection I noticed an alarming amount of incorrect results when analyzing real world data.

I can do better I thought and so I've tried to create a better and free service: iplist.cc

The service is currently handling about 2k requests a minute on busy times for the last two months. The monthly bills are paid for by the other web application I'm selling so my goal is to keep iplist.cc free, as it is self sufficient for now.

I don't get what the author is trying to say. It should be obvious to any physicist that his "classical" algorithm for the Bragg grating is complete nonsense (as he now admits in the editor's note). Furthermore, he does not show that the problem the annealer is tasked to solve has anything to do with the physics of a Bragg grating. Essentially he is comparing a wrong physics simulation with the result of "quantum annealing" some random Hamiltonian that looks vaguely similar. I don't see how anything can be learned from that.
1) No. Whatever people make, other people can destroy. You could get rid of Stalin any time you wanted, if even by running away or making him irrelevant. With various degrees of difficulty involved.

And for every Stalin, you brought in a few Buddhas and Gandhis.

2) Again, that depends on how you approach innovation which has little to do with age. What would have to be instituted is probably rotation based on tenure, similar to presidency terms. If a professor is still deemed innovative, they can stay in charge.

In fact, such a system would be vastly superior to the current one where once tenured, a professor is almost immovable for many years. It would also help with the publish or perish part if extended to lower levels - you'd get more chances.

Most importantly, if the basic needs are met, you just gained access to a huge pool of genius engineers and scientists by sheer numbers. Imagine if, say, Feynman or Hawking or Knuth or even Leibnitz and Newton were still around, and cooperating... No matter the academic structures.
"meta language" doesn't mean "compiling to javascript".

As a westerner living here the stand out issue was the utterly random placement of industry.

All of the factories were placed to provide employment. When capitalism took over the ridiculous placement of them (far from raw goods & far from distribution) meant they all failed and died.

> That's also the only thing that keeps our population in check

Thinking longer-term, it's that plus being restricted to a single planet.

Before anyone says being multi-planetary is a pipe dream, it's historically true that what ends up happening in the longer-term tends to always to be something that would have seemed ridiculous and unrealistic at the time.

Of course, there's all sorts of questions here of the practicalities (eg costs) and the timeline (eg life extension could happen well before being multi planetary).

My primary point is only that it's not necessarily true that death will always be the only thing keeping the population in check.

Google have completely messed up this SMS policy.

Someone senior needs to step in and fix this, it's utterly toxic for developer relations. The process is unreliable and doesn't work, and bluntly this sort of whitelisting of APIs for people "we think really need it" is a bad idea in the first place.

Anything that is behind such a whitelist should be a userland permission, approved (or not) by the end user, not Google.

If you decision leads to a failure like this, you are directly responsible. Responsibility for business processes are not outsourced with the IT service. When a company that has huge guaranteed profits (by nature of the academic publishing "market"-structure), and no IT skills to verify network service providers, you are responsible for not having any oversight to the processes of your company.

Why is bubblesort consistently spelled as bublesort?
I think that's not as easy at it sounds (or I am misreading you).

Let's assume you're wary of talking about accomplishments - what reasons could be there?

Bad memories of trying to convey what awesome things your team did and were generally received really badly? Preferring to sit down and ship and not boast about it at all? Sure, never accomplishing anything might also be the case, but in my experience a lot of really good people weren't keen at all to talk about cool stuff they did in any official or formal form - only over beers between a few developers or not at all. I don't think this is necessarily tied to being an introvert.

I didn't downvote you but I think it's a bad idea. Also because the opposite is true. No matter how much they personally contributed, the loudest people will tell you everything their team did.
Thanks for the links. I'm confused though, as everyone seems to claim something else is the "bulk of plastic".

Staying power has less to do with relevance and more to do with legacy apps. There will always be some people working on any given technology. Be it Spring, Smalltalk, Common Lisp or ...some X technology. The question is, is it relevant? In an increasingly Multicore world where you try to extract more performance out of your CPU's Ruby may not cut it and by induction Rails. The future web devs would require writing better multithreaded code probably on the JVM. Clojure, Erlang or Go are the few awesome options that come to my mind.

> Why would one choose Vue over React except for the goal of making the project "easier to jump into" for "more junior developers" and sort of accessible to "designer-developers" too?

In my (admittedly inexperienced w.r.t. Vue) view, that is exactly the reason for Vue's popularity, and a perfectly fine one at that.

What I've seen from GitLab's workflow is that their front-end developers are not of the "SPA type", for lack of a better term, but more of the "design a page using HTML+CSS and add some Javascript for interactivity" type (same lack of a proper term). And that's perfectly fine; I'd presume they work more closely with designers or take up some design work themselves, and would at least expect them to be proficient in areas like accessibility much like many in the industry are not.

I think what's the better choice mostly depends on how one's organisation is structured. Though honestly, either would probably have worked just fine, and it's mostly a matter of nuance.
