Base Web, Uber’s New Design System for Building Websites in React
This is one of the things that really makes me hopeful. A few 100 years ago, something like Ebola could have easily devastated civilization. Now, we have come up with a way to treat people who have it and more importantly to prevent people from getting it, even if exposed. This is truly amazing, and despite all the problems on the horizon gives me hope that human ingenuity and cooperation will win out in the end over our challenges.
Neat. FYI, ripgrep works fine in pipelines. You should be able to use it just like grep in those cases.
Have you read through the other comments here and on reddit? Many people have had similarly bad experiences
Lol. I really enjoy these online traffic simulators. Specifically, I like seeing how people manipulate them to suit their own ideas about "proper" driving.

There is no easy answer. Aggressive driving = bad. Tailgating = bad. But see what happens when you crank up the acceleration and decrease distance between cars. Then do the opposite. Simple little simulations like this teach us that bad driving is actually good for traffic.

One very interesting lesson is that speed seems largely irrelevant to traffic flow. So long as people don't leave gaps, that they all follow each other closely and accelerate/brake like racers, net flow is divorced from speed.
Also clear communication (although you are pretty much describing that too).

I had a friend who had an unusually high frequency of conflicts with various management, project managers (I expect there are always some, but this guy had a lot of bad experiences).

He showed me an instant message conversation:

PM: "Is X done?"

Dude: "Yes, but a, b, c is not done"

A, b, and c were parts of X's requirements.

Now the project manager or such should have been able to read between the lines, but man don't lead with "Yes" and actually describe a situation that is "No".
The focus today for 5G is fixed wireless access and smartphones, not IoT.

5G covers 3 variants:
1) massive broadband (with mmWave in particular);
2) URLLC - Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications;
3) massive IoT.
The current focus is on (1). Lot's of talk on (2), but nothing much concrete yet. (3) is moving along, but it's actually based on... LTE.

Strictly speaking, 5G is a set of requirements defined by the ITU-T, not a technology. The actual technologies are developed by another organization, 3GPP. And there are 2 technologies to cover 5G:
1) NR, or "New Radio". This is what most people mean by 5G. It's for massive broadband and URLLC;
2) LTE (release 15 and later) for massive IoT!

Yes, the IoT variant of LTE (LTE-M and NB-IoT) will be the 5G implementations for a while. Eventually there will be new NR versions for IoT, but nobody is in a hurry there. LTE-M and NB-IoT evolutions will be just fine for a long time, as far as massive IoT is concerned.

When you hear about 5G deployment today, it really mean "NR" and not LTE based IoT. The concern for smartphone is really capacity during peak time in the busiest cells.

I work in the field BTW, as you may have guessed ;)
You don't need to read anything to know you don't tell your car to move by itself if you can't see it, with current Summon. With the new Advanced Summon, you would not need to see the vehicle because it would have move protections in place. But you still wouldn't Advanced Summon the car if you don't even know where it is (e.g. still on the lift or not)...unless you're a moron.
The insight that proofs and types are analogous is an interesting one, but all of this (the writing, the math, and the code) strikes me as fairly impenetrable. It does not surprise me that this is rarely mentioned in industry.
The link appears to point back to HN, not to the external article.

I was actually interested in reading that article. Can someone supply a correct link? (Or is this a meta thing where "revolution" is illustrated by being led in a circle by the link?)
Nah. There are multiple options:

None of which are trivial in terms of expense or engineering.

View the problem of reaching the rocket as similar to locating the head of a CNC or 3D printer. You need XY positioning.

To reach all the legs, you'd need two. As these are the dimension of the entire landing pad, they'd cost more. They're essentially gantries. Also, they'd still need to be engineered to withstand and remain operational in heavy seas. Would they be running on hydraulics? What of the effects of the rocket blast. What happens if there is a hydraulic oil leak?

Another way is an arm. An ordinary heavy-equipment arm, as used for digging up roads, could reach out and pin down a leg of the rocket.

Those would certainly be hydraulic, so the same objections above apply. This is a good use of existing commodity equipment -- except that it would have to be hardened against the sea and the rocket blast as well, so it would still be an expensive specialty item.

It need not be automatic; a human could remotely operate it.

Keeping telemetry going while the rocket is landing is still something they haven't solved.

Another way is to flood the deck with adhesive, possibly something like molten solder or polyurethane foam.

It's thinking outside the box, but this isn't going to work 100% in heavy seas. I suspect that any adhesive that would work in heavy seas in the necessary time frames would be expensive to remove afterwards.

Another way is to pre-place grippers all over the deck. Make a deck of grippers.

How about make the deck out of slotted rails? Make gripper robots which are designed to move on these rails or between rails? Also the slotted rail system can be made into a 2D grid.
> But unless you're a programmer, you can't really make out good code from bad code.

That's not always true. We recently dropped a small consulting company (~20 people, US based) that was awarded a small (but not necessarily trivial) project and really bungled things up. The end product was delayed numerous times, noticeably sluggish and riddled with bugs. It would have been an easy win for this company and would have led to more recurring work, but for whatever reason, they decided to assign the project to a single junior programmer without any oversight.
No, most IoT devices in most applications are dramatically underpowered for 5G.

It's the technology behind Share Play, isn't it?
Human(individual) customers won't reap the huge benefit IMO. This is a big step up for commercial sites though, where cellular modems serve as fail-over for fiber/commodity service. These customers typically have unlimited data plans, and are more than happy to pay any outrageous data fees that keeps their network operating.
What if there were people in the Americas before the colonists!

What if the colonists occupied the land those people had farmed!

I'm just thankful they posted a legit transcript of the podcast at all! I don't like having to listen to them.
While 5G Will be a great boon, especially the beam-forming satellite version, another unintended consequence besides weather remote sensing is nuking the extremely important 24 GHz range (K Band) for radio astronomy. There are a few narrow protected windows for absolutely critical spectral lines, but the truth is that nature doesn't play by the spectrum allocations rules, and there are hundreds if not thousands of lines that are observed routinely outside of the protected bands. It is also remarkably free and clear of radio frequency interference (RFI), in part because industry has chosen other frequencies not attenuated by atmospheric water vapor. This isn't to say we should halt global human progress to save a local river bait fish, but that threat to forecasting is only one of the serious consequences major spectrum reallocation can have. This is especially true for passive use in the sciences, which has a weaker lobby than the private sector.
Certain People in One's Life may be incapable of correctly addressing their messages without this feature, so yeah, it's pretty important.
Back when I was doing a lot with this stuff, GLUT was effectively dead. Stuff like MacOS HiDPI surfaces wasn't doable without going well outside of what GLUT wanted to help you with. GLFW has been under active development over that time period, unifying baseline OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and Vulkan stuff to build upon.
The Family That Feels Almost No Pain
Stupid question. I was under the impression that one of the limits of 5g was that it was a short-distance signal, easily blocked by a wall or any obstacle. Is it really going to create interferences all the way to space? I thought satellites measured the temperature of the top of the atmosphere, not of stuff on the ground.
If you believe that there’s no far left then either you haven’t been looking very hard or your own notion of center is very different than mine.
The concept of public prayer (what you referred to as providing status) versus private prayer (the opposite) emerged fairly early in Judaism and was inherited by the other Abrahamic religions. It is alluded to and mentioned outright several times in almost all the holy books and oral tradition (if applicable). I don't think it's a problem with the religions themselves, although possibly with religious education.

I also find that in the West, most people go about religion by finding that which fits the lifestyle they already have. Very few are willing to sacrifice anything meaningful or make serious changes to fit a religion's teachings. It is much easier for them to find the sect of X religion that also allows them to Y and Z.
No. HTTPS doesn't include NSA in its threat model. The CA system is finding a balance of diversity of CA vendors where any CA being compromised is unacceptable. HTTPS helps in situations such as: public wifi, small state actors, ISPs, domain name takeovers

Sadly it does not rain maintainers everywhere, especially when the role does not pay.
So... I'm a worried netizen. I have concerns about data monopolies, privacy, surveillance, the ad-tech industry, cambridge analyticas... which puts me in the hn majority, I guess.

That said, what specifically are we aiming for. Privacy laws? Is there a bullet point of what these laws prohibit/require? Enforcement mechanisms? Standards? Protocols?

"Pro-privacy" isn't really enough, for a political program.

It would be great if one of these think tanks could put forward a specific agenda, preferably one that a large portion of us can support. What is it we want achieved?
Simplest example of what not a manifold is the shape of the letter “Y”. Technically for a topological space to be a manifold, every small neighborhood around each point should look the same. But “Y” has a special point at the center.
Suspension, so you'd be lifting from the body of the car instead of the tires in order to access the components (and surely remove the wheels), right? Then how in the world would something like this happen? Need more details.
Gaikai became PS Now, which streams a selection of PS3 games on demand
Except they sold a piece of it to every person who bought the game. What right do they have to revoke the functionality of software on other people's computers when it isn't them maintaining that functionality?

They didnt put an expiration date on the box, and therefore every single City of Heroes box is currently a false advertisement and they owe everyone a full refund.
PlayStation Now is still a thing, you can subscribe to play lots of PS3 and PS4 games on it, they run on Sony's servers and are streamed to your local device.
Is it? Is it really sad that nobody wants to spend $100M-$10B on a building that's the only function is to show off wealth and power?
A new type rating wouldn't be punishment, but the bare minimum of common sense. It only seems like it would be unreasonably onerous for Boeing (et al) because Boeing set themselves in this position to call the FAA's bluff TBTF-style.

What should really happen, in the free market creative destruction paradigm, is that the entire design should be scrapped - designated as non-airworthy by the FAA. Since the design goals seem to have revolved around hacking FAA regulations, as opposed to good faith engineering, how can any of the results be trusted?

A reasonable pick-up-the-pieces approach would see the MAX grounded for a minimum of three years for an overall design review with no getting out of a new type cert, with production halted in case hardware changes are needed.

But what's reasonable can never happen politically, because Airbus, headquartered in that entirely non-allied and utterly foreign country France, would benefit. Mon Dieu!

Which is the general setup for Too Big Too Fail - ignore regulations/prudence, skim profit short term profits, and then make sure it is everyone's problem when the sham inevitably blows up. The Boeing executives that forewent actually designing a modern plane are the ones responsible for not having kept up with Airbus, and should frankly end up in prison for mismanaging a TBTF (ie quasi-government) entity.

Samsung 1TB 860 QVO is just £90 on Amazon
But that can be (and has been!) done with a phone software update, which is much cheaper.
It is so sad to see the bad actors in the tech industry pushing so hard to advance policies that are harmful to society at large and people individually.

It is even more sad that I'm not the least bit surprised by this.
Computer science researcher demonstrates password cracking
I really think that Mathematica and Matlab failed to capitalize on the rise of AI and ML in the last decade. Seems like Python is the only go-to language these fields.
From what I've read, the spire that was added in the 19th century was replacement of the one that had been removed a century earlier
There are plenty of people that believe they have discovered it, they just can't actually use it for anything practical except scamming rubes. I actually had a conversation once with a real person who said basically -

"The mistake the cold fusion guys made is they didn't apply it to something practical, like powering a car or heating a house".

Er, maybe there's a reason for that.

So my test for these things isn't so much did they achieve a P-value of less that 0.05, it's are their results good enough to use in a hospital to cure patients, or to propel a vehicle, or to use instead of a telephone. Are they actually useful for anything? Not just so that some people think they get a benefit sometimes, but that anyone can provably get a consistent benefit.

Lots of things many people think are just blue sky science are actually super-useful. Quantum mechanics is used to engineer semiconductors (the operating principle of a transistor is a quantum effect), relativity is used in GPS calculations to provide accurate positioning data, Chaos theory is used to extract useful information out of data once thought to be random.

Psi is super useful for making sensationalist TV shows about haunted houses and clairvoyants that claim this or that, provided you only watch the show and don't actually look into the facts behind the stories. If this stuff was true one or two police departments wouldn't have used one or two clairvoyants on a few cases, every police force would have a full time clairvoyant on the payroll and oil companies would fund clairvoyant schools and pay graduates top dollar to go prospecting for them.
JavaScript does have lexical block scope since ES6, with the `let` and `const` statements.

And continuations are implemented by convention in nodeJS (through callbacks)

It even is specified as including TCO, a classic scheme feature, but so far it is implemented only in Safari.

Non mutation also seems to be a trend in web development, again thanks to `const`. The only things that make JavaScript not scheme, then, are syntax and the lack of macros. (Which is kind of a result of the more complex syntax)
I'm working on a side project and the setup is basically that you get to see all the data I have on you. Granted this is a tiny project that is largely just for me, but as a policy that seems like that is the most clear cut way to go.
This seems like a failure on the FCC's part. If it was going to be a problem these frequencies should never have been licensed out to cell companies.
> We don't really have projects like that anymore.

We do. I propose - the greatest testament to the Might of God and the insignificance of Man - the Second Avenue Subway.
Really interesting. The Wikipedia page in French is more complete and give more context.
The number 1 complaint is that there are too many ads, a complex combination of lack of other payment models, tragedy of the commons in adtech, and, in a small part, irrelevant targeting.

>> All ads are irrelevant. If they weren't, they would be part of the content itself.

Relevancy has multiple factors, including contextually relevant to the content you are viewing.
Why the US Government Just Made Its Own Font
Very off topic, but the backstop is only meant to take effect if no other agreement can be made by the end of the transition period. If it does take effect, it's meant to be temporary until such time as a more permanent deal is agreed (although it's true it could last indefinitely if no such agreement is ever made).
My biggest wish for Rust right now is dependent types, I find myself wanting them in almost everything I write to ensure it is correct for all possible inputs. It could also improve performance eliminating out of bounds checks in many places.

I recall someone mentioning in a RFC that it was on a distant wishful thinking roadmap. I hope it is.
The whole extradition process needs an overhaul. In that the jurisdiction should decide you are guilty before handing you over to some foreign power to be tried in their court system.
It’s been a long time since I took a class on compression, but I wonder if 4K has worse image quality than 1080P at the same bitrate. Anyone know?

> One would think we need interest groups more.

Would love to see more of those, especially in the EU, and the way they have them in the US. I'd love a privacy focused action group, but I don't want to buy a host of unrelated political issues with that. The EFF and similar organisations do a pretty good job at that, would love if we had more groups like that over here.
It's a side effect of the design of WebAssembly, as long as wasmer itself has a conformant implementation (the WASM spec itself is already formally verified).
At the last place I worked, Fortune 50 systems integrator, you can find yourself in a program where risk is increasing and schedule is galloping to the right, yet people are getting shuffled to other projects in the classic matrix organization move to "save the budget". Maybe this is because higher management is gambling that another component of the program is going to be late and therefore there's no pressure anyhow, but this doesn't get communicated downward and there's jerky and inconsistent progress for reasons that don't otherwise make sense. After a time, people get tired of the idea that they are pawns in a financial game and whether they do good, mediocre or bad work isn't important or perhaps even relevant to company goals.
All but the first would be held by the ECtHR to be in violation of accused's human rights, therefore no signatory of the ECHR can extradite in any such case.
I have kind of mixed feeling on that. On one side I kind of see the fascination of looking at a construction that is almost 1000 years old. On the other side wood is wood. If the roof structure is rebuilt identically (and we most likely have enough pictures and blue prints to do so), rationally, does it really matter than the wood is not the original wood (and half of the wood wasn't the original wood anyway, and the spire wasn't the original spire either)?
Nice, much needed add
Is it the case that said funding is being redirected from the causes you mention to restore this cathedral? Somehow I doubt it.
Aside from the FCC database link someone else posted there's also https://www.qrz.com
The Facebook killing democracy meme is flattering for technologists but imo too simplistic. In America there are a number of “democracy killers” or “this is why we have trump” in the mainstream narrative: Russia, Racism, FBI, Facebook, electoral college, etc.

Let’s not forget people tilt towards economic or cultural nationalism for a reason, and it’s in our power to address those reasons directly, not chase band aid solutions.
Amid Notre-Dame’s Destruction, There’s Hope for Restoration
It's also why the later Infocom game that Douglas Adams collaborated on, Bureaucracy, is one of the best comedies that Infocom released. The subject matter, the obstinacy of parser-driven IF, and increasingly absurd solutions to puzzles all worked hand-in-hand given the subject matter.
That’s exactly what ended up happening with the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The construction was originally going to take much longer, but modern construction technology has made it possible to finish sooner.
It takes longer than we think because writing software is solving a math problem, and you can't know how long solving a math problem will take until after you solve it.

Great blog! Very insightful.
I would argue there were vastly more Windows Mobile users than Google Reader users, more than likely (in some countries, WinMo had a 10% or greater market share for a while), and I would love to keep using my Windows phone, but I'm going to leave it behind when security updates end this December.
Research on the topic will always be, well, tricky. We're talking about determining that the cause of a particular event is nothing more than the most mysterious system in the entire known universe. Until we can fully understand the brain, we'll never be able to create the kind of universal causality that underpins scientific achievement.

If I can do something interesting, say, 7 out of 10 times, science is not going to be happy until it's 10 out of 10. How do you get from 7 out of 10 to 10 out of 10? It could be as simple as changing your diet or as complicated as changing beliefs.

Science is only interested in fully-causal relationships. But human beings are the things least-driven by causality in the universe. Which is why we tend to separate 'science' from 'the humanities'. Studying humans is extremely valuable. But they're not deterministic and so you need less rigorous ways to study them.
This can be helpful and interesting for the ones who are interested in this stuff. I think that it is part of what the author want to achieve, correct me if i am wrong, thank you.
