I would have the same question if I didn't see the response come back from https://normandy.cdn.mozilla.net/ myself.

I encourage you to go through the whole Normandy process yourself in a test environment, and even better (if possible), check out the code to see whether it looks legit or benign.

I'm happy, because I went through and checked it out myself without needing to enable Normandy on my actual Firefox, but ultimately, it will be great when Moz can get instructions for manually applying the fix out.
I would say iMessage also fills this niche, probably in the US only.
The problem with that is, there are credible sightings from quite a while ago, before drones really took off, not to mention the speed, acceleration and size of the "drones" are far superior to any drone.

Airport employees, pilots and bystanders have all reported seeing it, but it was dismissed. I remember seeing an interview with a retired Air Force officer who said that nothing's being done about the supposed UFOs is because once you start working on something people will demand results, and if you say we can't do a damn thing about these, your career will be in jeopardy.

There's a difference between changing results (or adding) and not supporting a feature that is dangerous and rarely used. Kind-of like banning handguns vs. providing unknownly modified guns.
It's interesting that functional programming is becoming more popular while functional languages are straggling behind a bit, but I think there's a contributing factor besides just imperative languages borrowing features: IO & error handling. What I find with functional languages is that once I start adding in a lot of IO and error handling things get gross really quick, ie things like print statement debugging are a "side effect", along with things like logging, and so on. If I was more of an expert in functional languages maybe I'd find a more elegant way around this, but I guess I find using something like python I get most of the benefits of a functional language without the aforementioned things becoming painful.

From a practical standpoint, debugging by setting things like breakpoints and watching a value also becomes a bit more weird, because you have so many return values being pipelined through multiple functions without ever having an alias assigned to them, so how do you add a watch? Of course there's ways around that, but I wonder if dealing with practical problems like that turns a lot of people off. Especially since one of the things that draws people to write functional code is it's elegance, but it stops looking so elegant once you have a lot of these concerns in place.
I think you're being downvoted because of the bit about regulation. At least, that is what I choose to believe, because imagine our state of affairs if you are being downvoted because of your comments about the idea of free speech.

>A simple LINQ expression can be passed around an translated on the fly by various providers. The same expressions can be translated to Sql, Mongo, regular IL, etc.

The same can happen with a simple abstract expression in native syntax (in fact tons of tools in all languages that do that). LINQ just gives you a standardized built-in DSL for that -- but nothing you can't build yourself with the language's main syntax. Heck, LISPs have been able to do the same shit for half a century.

>Last time I checked neither SmallTalk or Haskell are taking the world by storm...

Yes, they only made a dent with the smarter developers.

Still, C# isn't taking the Linux world by storm either, and it's nearly irrelevant on mobile too, so there's that.

>Haven’t Java proponents been claiming Java was going to be fast for over two decades?

Java has been fast for over 15 years now, so not sure what you're getting at here. Faster than C# as well, so there's that too.
Reminds me of my mom. She was _super_ into the internet between 1995 - 2000.

It's weird to think about now, but she was in IRC channels all day. She was really into the early pirate music scene. She even started dabbling in web development.

Eventually, she just lost interest when life got to busy and over time she become less and less technical.

Which I think is a shame, that would of been so cool if she became a developer.
> Yeah, now that photo perfectly summarises modern architecture taking the piss. It's all either "as cheap as we can get away with" or "look how {clever|edgy|controversial} I am".

This is true of pre-modern architecture, too; it's just that the distance of age makes cheap either gone and forgotten or “efficient” and clever/edgy/controversial—or, the also common in modernity, tendy followers of a successful instance of that—into memorable and iconic of a particular combination of time, place, and movement.

There were no "performance penalties" to speak of related to the GUI layer. IDE UI is not doing anything crazy to be performance bound. And I've (like millions of others) have used it in 2003-era PCs, with spinning platter HDs.

What indeed was, were some penalties of the GC kicking in (unrelated to UI widgets). Still nothing a .NET app wouldn't have (and I've used SharpDevelop as well back in the day).
Surely you aren't suggesting the difference between discretionary and non-discretionary spending is "somewhat arbitrary". Pretty much every economist in the nation would disagree with you there.
Without knowing you my question is how can we know that you won't benefit from 8 hours? The research suggests 8 hours is optimal. It also suggests that people who are sleep deprived have a new baseline and may not be aware that they once felt better and could again feel better with a lifestyle modification.

As to not needing the alarm clock, I experience that as well. I would think that is actually quite common with training.
An excellent point which no one else has brought up. Like the old programming saying goes, "GIGO," garbage in, garbage out.

Would you please not post unsubstantive comments and especially flamebait to HN? It leads to low-quality threads, and we're trying for better than that here.

Lots of the site guidelines are about this. If you'd review them, and take the spirit of this site more to heart when commenting here, we'd be grateful.

> So if a sheepish new employee fails to revoke them, why blame git or any other system? We have contracts, insurance and then criminal code for people who fail to follow protocols.

Because you won't know that a protocol isn't being followed. Your contracts, insurance, and criminal code won't cause you to realize that an employee caused an infosec incident if they don't tell you (and neither will your math and cryptography). And the more you threaten use of the criminal code, the less likely people are to admit that they made a mistake.

You can either build defense in depth (e.g., regular secret rotation, policies on use of GitHub in the first place or better yet automation that only pushes publicly after internal review, DLP via a corporate MITM, segregating your open source dev from your secret dev, etc.) or you can let your single defense get breached and have no idea.
Please don't start a gender flamewar, or any flamewar. Also, be kind and not snarky. These are important parts of the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

HN readers are interested in lots of different things. That's actually the point of this site. Not everyone is interested in the same things, though, and sometimes people complain about what appears here, even though the guidelines ask them not to. Even if someone does that, please don't respond by breaking the guidelines worse yourself.

Edit: I also feel like someone should defend the HN community against the implied slight in what you posted here. It isn't good to make such misleading insinuations, because (a) they worsen the problem you're complaining about, and (b) they're not true. To see the latter, look no further than https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19822123, which has a similar topic to this one and is currently at #3 on HN's front page.

I could find very little information about that website. First time I've seen it referenced before. Seemed like a very strongly worded article to me.
That's a "no true scotchman".

Happiness is simply being happy (or, if you want, content and enjoying yourself).

If you do that by inflicting unhappiness, or by depriving others of things, etc, it's still happiness.

There's no part of the happiness definition that says it's incompatible to with "unhappiness to result in others". That might be part of Bhudism or Christianity etc, but it's not some given of human nature.
> We're a democratic republic

In theory, more of a federal republic whose constituent members are democratic republics than a democratic republic itself. In practice those members are more oligarchic (specifically plutocratic) than democratic, though, but most of the people saying “republic not a democracy” probably don't want to come out and say “federation of plutocracies.”

The _neu_-nuclear powers possess at most a few hundred warheads and lack true intercontinental delivery systems. They might kill a few million people but the damage will be localised.

All of the countries that could - and would (given the right kind of existential threat posed by another) kill a few _hundred million_ people in even a limited exchange are on the council.

There are other, non-nuclear states that could cause similar (<10m) deathcounts if they had a conflict. What we don’t want to do is frame the security council as “the nuclear club” which allows them to dictate global security - that would give states like DPRK and Hussein’s Iraq even more motivation to pursue a nuclear weapons programme.

To an extent it does come down to sincerity - I’m not concerned about India being a nuclear power despite it bordering Pakistan and PRC: I have faith in India’s democracy and stability to use their power responsibly (Kashmir is another discussion) - but I don’t extend that to DPRK who are clearly using it to avoid a Libya-type situation but who may end up using it anyway given the inherent instability of autocratic dynasties.

Efficient Anti-satellite weapons are low-tech if we are talking about space-to-space combat.

Scratch is full-on coding, albeit with visual blocks.

Underlying all Von Neumann machines is the same type of register/instruction pointer architecture, so any means of controlling that kind of a computer winds up in assembly (actually, machine language) code.

The best way to help your students is to explain this. If they understand how the computer actually and physically operates, then programming is reduced to the semantics of the language at hand.

IMHO, the next best language to teach them is JavaScript because of its ubiquity and usefulness. Those kids are gonna need jobs. Besides, they'll be impressed that they can control what you see in a web browser and that's arguably just as compelling as something like Lego Mindstorms.
Kinda. I think what Ruby is missing is how minimalist Smalltalk is and how many of the primitives in Smalltalk are implemented in itself. To give you an example of what I'm talking about, in Smalltalk an if statement is implemented by sending a message to a boolean, like:

someBool ifTrue: [ "some block to execute" ].

In that context, either the "True" object receives the message and executes the block, or the "False" object receives the message and doesn't execute it. (Or even some user defined object that just happens to have an ifTrue: message handler). (Sorry I might be a little off on the syntax and exact details, my Smalltalk is rusty)

Loops and such are also similar. Granted most of these things probably end up being implemented in native code on a practical level for performance, but conceptually it's a very small language. Most of the standard library and IDE is written in itself. Ruby definitely has a lot of flexibility, but it also has way more built-ins and much more separation between "interpreter code" and "user code"

I think this is what people are missing when they bring up the point that messages and method calls seem very similar. In a practical sense yes, but the smalltalk style message system is more about messages being a fundamental building block of the entire system.
The same can happen with a simple abstract expression in native syntax (in fact tons of tools in all languages that do that). LINQ just gives you a standardized built-in DSL for that -- but nothing you can't build yourself with the language's main syntax. Heck, LISPs have

Okay so where is it? What language besides some .Net based languages allows me to take the same query expression and have it interpreted differently based on the provider and allows me to switch out an RDMS or Mongo for example without changing the calling code?half a century ago I wasn’t even born (about 5 years later). Saying Lisp did it 50 years ago is about like Mac users bragging in 2019 that they had a GUI before PCs.

As far as LISP, what are the job opportunities like in 2019?

Yes, they only made a dent with the smarter developers.

Can I make money with those languages?

Java has been fast for over 15 years now, so not sure what you're getting at here. Faster than C# as well, so there's that too.

Benchmarks?
Correct. RStudio has this feature, where variable values can be inspected in a sidebar. This would be a really useful feature for Jupyter, especially when running a Python kernel.

>People are free to misunderstand anything they choose, but words have meanings and reality can be accurately described using words with specific meanings.

Words have commonly understood and dictionary meanings.

Not some meanings you or some other person with a strong opinion gives them.

And the standard meaning of happiness doesn't include "not inflicting pain to others" as a requisite.

>Happiness is an internal upwelling of feeling. Pleasure is a physical sensation. They are not the same.

That's just pseudo-profound hocus pocus.

In fact the nuance goes even deeper: if you think you have the upper moral superiority, you could even think you do good, and are totally justified to feel happy, while inflicting untold pain on others (e.g. if you're a Nazi supporter hunting Jews, which you think betters mankinds).

So, it's not just that you can be happy inflicting pain because you're sadist and enjoy it, but also because you think you do something very good and laudable by inflicting said pain!

And, a third possibility, is that you could very happy with "an internal upwelling of feeling" because you got what you want, and your personal life and relationships go great, while still inflicting tremendous pain, if it's to people you don't even care about, and never spend a moment thinking about them (e.g. you're a rich person with a perfect family life whose riches depend on your minions exploiting lower classes which you never personally meet, and could not care less about).

How's that for nuance?

Pressure large meat companies to not buy from farms that use routine antibiotics. That's probably the biggest practical thing.

I thought about a social media concept called "scene" where people are initially randomly matched based on common interests, but then the group is closed to new contributors at a certain population count. The idea would be to simulate groups that form based on geographic proximity (local scenes and clubs) without the same distance constraint, because for me those local groups have always been more meaningful than online forums, with a few exceptions mostly tied to local groups. The group population cap would limit the number of noobs in healthy scenes.
No authority told me to use a debugger, I use them because they work for me. They save me time, help me make money, and make it easier and more fun to code.

If I ever saw a "research study" that said "print statement users have 12% fewer bugs than debugger users" - or vice versa! - I would dismiss it out of hand. What possible relevance could it have to my work? That's not real research, it's just playing with statistics and making up overly generalized stories about them.

That kind of research would just become the "authority" in a new appeal to authority, complete with an infographic!

And nothing has to be "settled", nor should it be. There are many different kinds of programming that require different tools. It's best to be aware of the variety of choices available, and choose your tools according to the particular situation you're in.
