Lombok brings huge amounts of unnecessary magic to the codebase.

A new coder diving in to the code will need to either know all the Lombok annotations by heart or look up what every single one of them does.

Also it makes debugging kinda crappy for the same reason.

I heard people buy those cheaper games and activate using VPN which will be dealt with sooner or later I suppose. If you really really stretch it, can go as far as tax evasion I suppose as you virtually "import" a good into EU and don't pay VAT which you are supposed to pay here but no in other regions.
My bet is to reduce the competition from other MOOC offering sites. If colleges didn't offer MOOC's, then that model would stand in stark contrast to the traditional educational model. And when MOOCs showed to be effective and gained popularity, it would put the authoritative hold universities have on education into question. Now that they are leading the way in MOOC's, they can curb that authority building and reduce the dramatic contrast which makes their model seem absurdly anachronistic.
As long as shit like this happens, I consider it a big problem:

Ask HN: Discussion on the various UI/Widget frameworks available on platforms
I always wondered how the various UI/widget frameworks compare across platforms(OSes) like iOS, macOS, Android, Linux(Multiple), WIndows. Which platform provides the best rich and flexible framework.
Also which of these are a good design.
Just to clarify I want to know about the frameworks for example, equivalent to iOSes UIKit, CoreGraphics etc.

Osu! also uses IRC for it's game chat, but it's not obfuscated . IRC is good enough for game chat, you don't really need anything more, unless you want to integrate voice-comms too. Actually, I once made multiplayer-over-IRC in a game jam, as the interface is so simple and flexible.

Just a few hours back I was checking whether I could capture audio via 3.5mm from iPad nano, to stream FM radio channels to my smartphone.

I was thinking like 3.5 mm from ipod to RCA & then RCA to Raspberry pi Mic. Then processing the mic input for streaming.

I think I'll loose the dual channel & also not sure whether I would be able to control the channels without creating a breakout switch in the line to ipod's 3.5 mm.

Can anyone suggest a better way to do this? There's no Internet Radio in India & smartphones doesn't have FM radios now a days.
Pairing or close one-on-one supervision hasn't much in common with being in an open-plan workspace.

>The definition of 'change' (verb) is "make or become different."

>Following on from the previous segment, we therefore believe that a change in view simply means a new perspective. Perhaps, in the example of literally looking at something, you've taken a step to the side; or a few steps; or you've moved around and now stand behind it.

BeOS, a modern operating system that supported SMP, preemptive multitasking, and a journaling file system waaaaay before Windows 95 was even released.
Wearing another pair of glasses is pretty intrusive. The value added (if any) by Google Glass clearly wasn't enough over the phone for how much more intrusive it was.
That’s a good example of confirmation bias.
The most important question is if wind and solar capacity can come online sooner than nuclear in order to slow down stop global warming, which is estimated to cause 250,000 deaths/year worldwide 2030-2050 by the WHO. Solar and wind were only 9.2% of the U.S. total in 2018 and the US has very good conditions for them. Solar energy will have a harder time replacing base load plants. It might work out fine in the US but how about other countries? I think both renewables and nuclear will be needed. Carbon caputre technology would need to be ~5 times cheaper than currently to be viable.
Very interesting post. Thank you for sharing :)
> So that a delivery app, for example, can't strong-arm you into enabling location services by refusing to work otherwise

I can confirm this. I work for a top 10 consumer focused app (< #10 on the App store) and Apple did exactly this - ask us to enable users to use the app even without giving location permissions. There have been multiple push backs from Apple similar to this regarding user privacy and security and none from Google. And this isn't a vague generalization - Google has never asked us about this stuff, ever. It just isn't a priority. And so, as you might expect, I tend to trust and use the Apple platform for a lot of my personal stuff.

CAD allows much more optimization. In general the more you optimize, the better defined and all-encompassing your metrics have to be. Otherwise you will end up optimizing away qualities you took for granted (in this case, serviceability. or more specifically being able to easily remove inexpensive wear parts).
Well, maybe this will lead to prices based on cost of development rather than "provided utility". If they are able to sell to a lower price to a given country, why would they not sell at that price to everyone else ?
BeOS was indeed great, but its first version was released a few months after Win95.

The idea of Russia invading Norway to resume Norwegian oil production because the EU asked it is absurd.

Were it to happen in real life, Russia would be applauding Norway for rising the oil price and ramping up its own oil production as much as it can.

A la https://www.xkcd.com/378/ (Real Programmers) or https://www.xkcd.com/435/ (Purity).

This seems to be a thing developer-type people struggle with a lot, and I really think it is an engineering mindset issue. We tend to like the things we have control over or understand completely, and technologies that have hidden parts (like Reddit or certain controversial programming languages) are disliked for their perceived dishonesty.
And some of that desert is already mildly radioactive, due to a. uranium deposits, and b. atmospheric nuclear tests in the 50s.
Let me argue that there's at least one more design flaw: backup generators are generally not very reliable. So for any given plant, there's a comparatively high risk that they don't work when you need them. This risk is non trivial even when the generators are well taken care of (both maintenance and regular test runs) but it's very easy to skimp on the tests.

My knowledge is from another industry that relies heavily on backup generators.

Deliverability is something that we're keeping an eye on. We're using AWS SES, which provides a lot of options in that area. Anybody who receives an email from Maildown can unsubscribe at any time using the link appended to every email. Once they done that, Maildown will refuse to send that user any mail from that Maildown user's account. Similarly, we track bounces via SES, SNS and Lambda and handle them in the same way. This minimizes our bounce count, and therefore enhances our sender reputation

That is clearly wrong as advertisers wouldn't knowingly pay for ads that have no effect.
Nuclear power is nothing that can be trusted with private companies, the long term nature is directly incompatible with an entity that can go bankrupt and "die". Renewables connected with battery/pumped/hydrogen storage is by far our best bet.

For some definition of 'perl6'. I have a perl6 book from o'reilly from 2006, and I flipped through it recently. It bears almost no resemblance to modern perl6. There were a couple of things that were still the same (and not just vestiges from perl5 like sigils and function calls looking like function calls), but by and large it was something completely different.
Swiping input yes, but the implementation of Swype was superior to the others like Swiftkey.

I've gained quite the appreciation for the initial pioneers who attempted e.g. docking maneuvers with the spacecraft of the time. Definitely a steep learning curve in-game, but once you get the basics of how to get to orbit it's pretty easy to wrap your head around transferring to other orbital bodies.

Once Hanford's contaminated ground water reaches the Columbia River, it will render every place downstream uninhabitable. eg Portland OR.

The Commodore Amiga, it had the advantage until Macs got color cards with the Mac II series. VGA gave IBM PCs with Sound Cards an advantage.

The Amiga had true multitasking for a 68K Machine and even ran MS-DOS and MacOS with emulators. Problem is they could only get game makers to write software for the Amiga. The business software, video editing, etc came too late. They still make Amiga systems with PowerPC chips now.

Well, we will see. As a German I can not believe it will happen, all our big car companies talking about it for like 8 years now. We had the goal of 1 mio. EV cars by 2020 in 2017 we have 54.99 (pure EVs) and about 160k hybrid. Thats 0.1 % EVs. Our gov pays you 4000 € bonus if you buy a EV, they still have budget for this campaign because of the low EV sales. Even the diesel-gate did not had a real effect, now everybody is buying gasoline cars.

VW announced the I.D. and a new e-up! But it is all only announcements, currently the cheapest car, the e-up! isn't even order-able. BMW announced the i2 (cheaper version of the i3) but it will take till 2021 to get one.

I hope you are right, but at least here it does not look like it.
Isn't this against the spirit of globalization and free/open markets? Or is that just meant for companies to benefit from cheap labor but not for consumers to be able to shop around?

Yes but the RBMK is still an irresponsible design: highly positive void coeficient, no containment, then the control rod misdesign which was fixed. VVER reactors (Russian PWRs) are much more safer by contrast. Of course it was profitable, it ran on natural Uranium and it was cheaper to build (no containnent).

You should watch the "A is for Atom" episode from Adam Curtis "Pandora's Box" series. It also talks about US designs and how they upscaled the naval PWRs to utility level which was not deemed safe by nuclear scientists of the time.

It's just a trade-off of mathematical probabilities. The alleged extreme safety comes with an extreme destructive disasters.

When it comes to risk management, the human brain that is bound by evolution to dangers close in time and location, is not capable of assessing the consequences of losing a piece of the planet earth's habitat for millions of years.
> You are still missing the point. The problem was not the idea. The problem was the way that idea was communicated.

No, the problem is that you are trying to misrepresent what was actually said and in the process using your misunderstanding to fuel your baseless outrage and moral tirade.
I had a friend with a Dreamcast he had to mod it to play CDRs as the Dreamcast had a different CD format to hold more info. They had to reduce the CD to fit in a 700M CDR. Most games didn't use the full CD.

No, this one isn't true. Performance was one of the biggest problems of webOS. WebOS user forums were full of posts complaining about that. UI built with HTML and JavaScript rendered by Webkit1 was way too much for 2000s hardware to handle.

Currently the prices of the used electric cars are crazy. You get a brand new gasoline car for the same price as an 6 year old VW e-up!. The Renault Zoe is still 30k EUR (including battery) for a small car with low to mid range (150 - 300km; depends on the model and year).
Sorry for the slow response. Yes we support all of those. We can send you the appropriate records to set this up on request
Really, you get less bang for your buck than that, for the simple reason that cryptanalysis isn't about brute forcing at all.

If you take some cypher text, and it is surely known to be a non-random value, for example, because you can tie the timing of a given point-to-point message to real world activities, say... insider trading. Well, fundamentally, we then know that the value of the text must be structured data, and not random, but human readable.

That means you can work backwards from the space of structured data, instead of the full scope of random strings, in order to break the keys.

Encryption is not as strong as it's purported to be, even without back doors, or less than random weaknesses built into the numerical roots of the scheme.

To understand what I'm driving at, consider the challeng of an encrypted string consisting of 4 characters:

$&@%

If we know it's a word, then that limits the attack space to English words.

So, let's say we have another length of text surely containing words, and encrypted with the same key.

Well, now we only need to look at the keys that transform the first string into valid words, and then the intersection of keys that produce words for both strings, after that, it's down to context and deniability. And with that, your brute force space is much smaller, much more manageable.

...or at least, smaller than the premise of thermodynamic laws requiring the utilization of a dyson sphere to break a cypher text.
