No one here is talking about clients. One of the great benefits of using Rails, Django etc. is that they are stable, very well documented, well supported frameworks with a large ecosystem of libraries and developers. If you are making an app for a client these will generally be much easier to maintain than a bespoke Javascript stack.
Yeah, 'Observable' is an artefact of a specific dataflow/streaming implementation.
Show HN: Excel Price Feed – Live and Streaming Financial Prices in Excel
If you think about it, it's a pretty good musical trolling exercise.

A song about irony which doesn't contain a single instance of irony.
I honestly can't believe this is the top voted comment. There's a world of difference between HNers who've self-diagnosed themselves as autistic because they're a bit socially awkward and people like my severely autistic friend who needs specialist care and for whom life is a constant struggle.

It's incredibly insulting, actually.

Developer here: I’ve built an Excel Add-In which feeds live financial data to cells via simple formulas. It currently sources data from Yahoo Finance and IG Index, I am working on other data providers.

For example to populate a cell with the latest Apple stock price: =EPF.Yahoo.Price(“AAPL”)

For brokers, such as IG Index you can download historical data for analysis, submit trades and stream real-time prices to cells.

I have some users using it to automatically keep track of the value of their portfolio across different brokers and I'm also helping one guy working on an automated trading system in Excel.

Here's a tutorial on using it to build a realtime investment portfolio.

I think you're missing the point. Rails == Lavarel == Django in the context of the discussion.
I can recommend Mithril, which can support a full spa but is also very practical if you just want small parts of the page to be dynamic. It is a great little component based spa library that is small in size and has a simple api. It is very similar to react and doesn't require a compile step.

>but the story itself is nonsense. The US didn’t specifically ban them, they simply fall under a (sensible) pre-existing law and no one gives enough of a crap to change it.

Which doesn't change the essence of the story, which is not that the Kinder eggs where purposefully banned themselves, but simply that Kinder eggs are banned (and in general, that they'd ban something like Kinder eggs and co).

I'm really torn between two thougts.

Of course this kind of censorship shouldn't happen. What they are doing is wrong and I find it mostly just sad that the Chinese government can't function without such a degree of censorship.

On the other side though, people are being warned again and again about centralized platforms, and they never cared one bit. Even with China as a perfect example of how terribly that can go wrong, people just won't believe that maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't be relying 100% on centralized messaging and social media platforms.

We can't change the Chinese government; nobody can. It's a political monolith built from the ground up to maintain its own stability above all else. What we can do, however, is the way we think about software; not as something that just seems to grow on trees on its own, but tools that can and will be used for political purposes whenever possible.

It seems the author is already kind of biased when he set out to analyse the data.. use of the term 'overzealous vegans' in the first paragraph sets of a few alarms for me.

I think it would be interesting to look at other long term studies (like the 7th adventist study someone else mentioned here) as well as studies that look at plant based eating as a cure/preventative method for more specific/acute diseases (like Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's WFPBN solution for cardiovascular disease, or Dr. Greger's 'How Not to Die' which compiles and summarizes research in the WFPB space https://nutritionfacts.org/book/)
Some people don't always want to carry around their DSLR. Having a decent back-up with great image quality in their phone that they always have with them is convenient. And not everybody is willing to buy a DSLR, but cares just enough about picture quality that they might get this. Apple and Samsung don't fill their advertising with how great their cameras are just for fun.
But because they are thousands of km away it is easy for a human to tell which is correct based on context. And the search screen works very well. It autocorrects, gives a distance and a country flag.

I get hit by that one. but, tbf Linux and BSD differ on the behaviour of cp -r with ./thing/ and ./thing -I found references to ./thing/. worked on both.

Presumed liability doesn't mean drivers are _always_ at fault, but it does mean that the person operating the more dangerous vehicle has a higher burden of proof.

If you operate a car on a city street where you _know_ there might be kids running in to the street, then _you_ are the one introducing an element of danger, not the kid. Similarly, if you drive by a child walking down the sidewalk (pavement, walkway, depending on where you are), you should slow down to aid in stopping on the off chance that child runs in to the street. Even if it's your right of way.

Similarly, a cyclist might hit a pothole and fall, etc. and the reality is that a slight scratch on your bumper will be death to them, so you have to be more careful.

100, 110ish years ago, streets were full of people walking, horses, etc. It would be ridiculous to say "well I had the right of way so I killed that street vendor in my way". But enough drivers killed enough people using the street and we decided to say it was the fault of the person using the street as people had for millenia.

That, of course, makes driving less convenient - but then, cars make walking and cycling massively inconvenient and we seem OK with that. Also, for situations where you need long, uninterrupted stretches of high speed motoring, limited access roads (aka motorways) exist, and there it's reasonable not to expect pedestrians, cyclists, jaunting cars, etc.
Both Telco equipment and social chat backdoor or interception is possible but:

Reach of Huawei (or other manufacturer) potential backdoor is bigger and more business focused than social media and games.

So the risk is still great to economy with Telco compromise, but the social and political risk is probably equal or comparable with social media.

A bit comparing apples and oranges still, but interesting anyway.
My Take on Risk Management
A day or two ago I was having a chinwag to a reserve chief buddy of mine, and he referenced that he never comprehended why individuals are removing dangers being in and from the Forex showcase day by day.

"'Pattern following is the main way that appears to work for me", he said.

I to some degree concurred, and it made me think…

Despite the fact that I'm an intraday broker, I found that a portion of my best exchanges were the point at which I held over a couple of months and scaled in on the position; in any case, these were rare.

Along these lines, this makes one wonder…

On the off chance that you locate that one style works superior to anything others, would it be advisable for you to practice and just exchange that style?

In my view, in no way, shape or form!

The reason is something known as "Value's Law".

The law expresses that half of work is finished by the square foundation of the example.

"What does that mean?" (I hear you cry)

With regards to exchanging, it implies that half of your benefit is probably going to be made by the square foundation of the measure of exchanges you've made (or if nothing else the effective ones).

A short precedent would be; if I somehow managed to take one hundred exchanges this month, 10 of these exchanges would like to half of my month to month benefit.

This is determined by duplicating 10×10, leveling with to 100.

Another model would be 25 which has a square base of 5 on the grounds that 5×5 is 25, etc.

Something should shout out at to you here…

In the event that we limit our hazard and keep the upside boundless, you're ready to hop on those few exchanges that empower you to hit a grand slam, obviously, we don't realize which exchange that homer will be.

Exchanging is as much about brain science all things considered about building up a strong procedure. Without the psychological backbone to adhere to a technique, it will never work, paying little heed to how great it is.

Effective merchants figure out how to ace their procedure, however they additionally assume responsibility for their own brain science, creating attributes, for example, order, tolerance and hostile to pretension. Give me a chance to start by investigating the third attribute, basically on the grounds that this is infrequently referenced, however similarly critical.

Acting investigation and having mindfulness enabled me to perceive the vain partition (the part that is worried about the mental self-portrait and how others may see me). A large number of us are ruled by our personality and don't know it.

Along these lines, how about we separate it further for anybody that is somewhat lost.

For an average dealer, the more cognizant, sound and coherent reasoning piece of the brain doesn't commonly run the show right now. Or maybe, it's the more programmed responsive oblivious personality that is energized by sentiments and feelings that assumes control over when you become occupied with an exchange.

Many can erroneously accuse the sentiments and feelings as the guilty parties; anyway as individuals, we will dependably have emotions and feelings and they won't simply vanish as certain individuals may persuade.

We will all have our own particular manner of taking care of things however this is something that for me, was uncommonly imperative on my adventure to winding up mentally fit for the business sectors, and I trust it will help you as well.

When considering what people take from a CS education (and I come from one), I don't think it's the fundamentals, concepts or theory that's important if you are interested in building software. I think it's the skills you gain from being in that environment for 3 or 4 years: being able to think abstractly and decompose problems, being able to design systems etc.

I can't necessarily name X, Y or Z algorithms or data structures off the top of my head, but I do know how to take a problem, think about it and solve it.

If you can get these skills elsewhere then great. I've mentored people doing web development bootcamps and this is always the advice I give them.
I think the concept that Tencent is asking Epic to infect your computer with malware is a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

I work for a western studio for which Tencent is a majority shareholder, and I can tell you, Tencent hasn't even hinted at wanting any of our data, let harvesting more.

As far as I can tell, their motives are simple and capitalistic. Somewhat ironically, it was all the western potential acquiring companies that had agendas that were very ethically distasteful to us.

Tencent certainly complies with Chinese laws in china, but can you blame it? Wouldn't you comply with the law of your country?

The way security and surveillance is developing globally is incredibly worrying.

Security establishments are treating domestic companies, infrastructure, data hosting and anything else they can as vectors for intelligence. Legislators are supporting them. No one is taking the higher ground because they're doing it too.

Meanwhile, the meatiest cash cows in tech are advertising businesses, and the technologies that make their money are ad-tech, which at this point is extremely adjacent to spy-tech. Facebook's ad-tech, for example, would be very good at narrowing down a list of people likely to go on Hajj... I'm sure tencent's is too.

China is more open/public/brazen about their domestic activities (we noticed that your friend went to Mecca) where the US is cagey about domestic operations (eg Snowden). They're more discreet about foreign surveillance, where the US is a little more public. Both are doing both. So are dozens of nations and probably few non state players.

Now we seem to have an arm's race, with spooks publicly "outing" rivals and simultaneously demanding (publicly and privately) legislatures and companies improve their access.

At best, we get technology and digital culture balkanization. At worst, we get stasi-on-steriods.

There doesn't seem to be any meaningful political force pushing in the freedom direction.

Rust is a nice idea, but as of 2019 C++17 is simply better in every way.

Yes, there's can be benefit to starting from scratch with a different language w.r.t. training new teams with good habits and skills from the start.

But going into Rust just because it's fashionable at the moment is a recipe for pain several years down the line.

If you want a working pain-free solution learn C++17 instead.

He's the very first Twitter account suggested when I type 'limbaugh' into the search [1].

In Moments, there's a lot of other people talking about him, so that's what's shown, (also a lot more notable Limbaughs, as that's a pretty common surname), whereas Dore is pretty much just him, not that many other people are talking. That's how Moments always worked, nothing shady there. It's also true if you put i.e. 'Taylor Swift' in Moments, her actual Twitter account is fairly buried, because there's lots of other buzz that the algo deemed more relevant.

If anything, it speaks to his popularity.

And that's despite him not having a verified account, which are deranked for everyone over verified ones. Type in ie 'Sean Hannity' and you'd see his verified account right up.

Perhaps it's time to admit that the simplistic narrative of 'left censoring the right' is not really true and it's more complex than that. It's really the establishment silencing alternative voices.

The right is more than happy to censor the left on BDS, for example, (with the help of the Democrats even(!)) & cement that into law. I don't see any of the right-wing 'free speech worriers', like Ben Shapiro talk about how wrong that is. In fact they very much support it.

On the other hand, you have left-wing channels like Dore & Secular Talk constantly bring up how it's wrong to censor right-wing voices, even doing long rants on specific cases.

Bold move to mention 'god' on HN. I think the analogy is striking (therefore at least rhetorically useful) in the sense that it challenges the idea of ourselves merely ending where our bodies do.

Socialisation and attendant technologies suggest otherwise: there's plenty of 'me' which is opaque to me, of me that precedes me, of me that derived from other minds. 'I' may even reside briefly in other minds, such as (trivially) in the form of this comment.

The more we look at how individuals are structured from somatic to social levels, the less convincing the notion of individuality becomes.

No, factoid can also be a real fact.

It doesn't get its "looks but isn't" from sharing the same ending as "humanoid". The same way an arachnoid is still an arachnid.

-oid just means "having the form of" (from the ancient Greek, oeides, meaning "of the type"/"belonging to the class"/"having the form of").

Sometimes this implies "looking like, but not being the thing" (like in humanoid, else we'd just say "human"), but in other words it just means "belonging to that family".

Factoids are meant to be small interesting tidbits (facts).

Quite often what are presented as factoids are bogus (e.g. urban legends reproduced by journalists to fill "Did you know that?" style columns).

Dictionary covers both meanings:

1) an item of unreliable information that is reported and repeated so often that it becomes accepted as fact.

2) a brief or trivial item of news or information.

But as you can see, the 1st meaning is not because of the "-oid" making such a meaning mandatory (else the world wouldn't have the second meaning, not to mention all the other words that end in -oid, but still don't imply a mere look-alike).
Interesting. Was that apathy from the new staff, who weren't interested in spending time acquiring institutional knowledge vs skills/experience which would increase their value in the marketplace?

Don't underestimate the cost of switching contexts. I find that when I have two projects on the go, even the most trivial "5 minute" request that comes in via Slack or Email has the potential to bomb the next 2 hours. You have to unload everything from one project and then reload everything from project two. Any momentum you had from the first project is now definitly gone and needs to be built up for the second project.
