Yes it is useful to have a list of everything, but I feel like I can get a list like this in about a half hour with Google. What I can't get in a half hour is a summary of the problems people have had with particular framework, or the reasons why they chose to start using or stop using a particular framework.

The picture from the beginning is very exciting and optimistic. To pick on ImGui again, it's easy to get started--but I know there are some issues with larger projects, some things that are hard to do in immediate mode, etc.
What are you talking about? There are cell towers everywhere. The CA senate in 2017 voted to remove local rights to govern their placement. 5G is rolling out everywhere. 5g radio transmitters on streetlights broadcasting continuously next to children's bedrooms. There was once safety concern over cell towers' placement. That is no more. We made the transmitters more powerful, but now they're smaller. So they go everywhere. "NIMBYS" have no say in what happens. It doesn't matter whether people think "cell phones give you cancer". The FCC doesn't care about anyone's safety. And people come on the internet rallying against some straw man they invented to showcase how silly it is to be concerned about the health effects of new technology.
Maybe the same law can make commenting on web sites illegals. Sitting and lethargy kill many more than driving.
DE= double-edged I assume?
As was Google’s.
It’s excellent to watch. A big swarm has enough honey onboard to fill 2-3 full depth boxes. I’ve caught some big ones, but a full box in a week is my record.
It’s good to let them and not to help or give them frames. Getting them to make wax gets all the honey out of them as this honey can contain American Foulbrood spores. Locking it up in wax is lower risk than having them feed it to young larvae.
The thought that someone could enter the place that holds everything I own is more shocking to me. If my landlord wants to enter my flat, he can ask me and I'll let them in - I can't make sure that my landlord doesn't enter my flat.
Uber's business plan under Kalanick was to create a monopoly and then raise rates. Now that Dara is CEO they're trying to legitimize themself, but it's going to be an uphill battle to say the least.

Yes. In emergencies, people forget how to operate airline seat belts often enough that airline staff have to check for it, even with the reminder.
You say this because you want it to seem like desperation.

The claim that any stock that is overvalued at IPO shows desperation is just not true, and it's the statement you are making.
So basically a land mine.

You ever read an article about something being outlawed and find yourself wondering why they were legal in the first place?
It does, yeah. They don't distribute pre-built linux packages, but most distros do.
I sure could use more ram on my 2013 MacBook Pro.
It’s not surprising that cats are smart. Many things are... but humans oddly assume that anything that cannot speak their language is not smart unless tested and proven so.

As for the dogs vs cats, my experience with both tells me that dogs often seek human approval and attention. Cats only seek attention (or food or petting), when they want it.

So testing cats would also be a test of human patience and persistence.
This is not true in California. I had a landlord who wanted to enter all apartments to inspect for evidence of pets (someone had seen a cat inside the building) and I told them exactly where they could shove it.

(Paraphrased from CA Civ Code 1954)

A landlord may enter the dwelling unit only in the following cases:

- In case of emergency.

- To make necessary or agreed repairs, exhibit the property, or perform move in/out inspections.

- When the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises.

- Pursuant to court order.
Firefox on my phone crashes ALL the time. I can't load 3 web pages without it crashing. Is Android doing this on purpose? I just cannot get firefox mobile to work, sadly.
Oh I couldn’t agree more. I didn’t mean it as an endorsement of ORMs, but it does demonstrate that SQL isn’t entrenched as the sole user interface to RDBMS.

Thanks. That’s the second one I purchased. It seems like I’m an outlier. They’re all incredibly short by my standards, yet modern cartridge razors often have handles that work well for me.
select isn't in C; it's in POSIX.

I worked in Windows development shops where nobody knew select; but they could write WaitForMultipleObjects code in their sleep.

A strictly conforming ISO C program can use the select identifier however it wants, including as an external name for an object or function.

> your suggestion that it should be named the same as Go is a bit ridiculous

It's not any more ridiculous than wanting to have a library which imitates Go concurrency down to macros that imitate some of the syntax.
I'm surprised this isn't more of a thing. It seems like the natural evolution of "[X] as code". I've always been a little turned off by migrations (though they were certainly an improvement over the previous situation, which was basically just indeterministic changes on the fly).
Wouldn't they buy shares to raise the price, indicating they need money rather than shares?
GitHub Package Registry
Yep. I’ve still got one. Those keys were quite usable. Sigh.
I came to the comments expecting more about the founders, their equity, and their plans for the future. I'd imagine this makes them (even more) wealthy individuals, and they probably have agreements to stay in their new leadership roles for a certain period. I'm not sure if I'm sounding cynical - I really have no idea how excited these two founders are for the new arrangement. It could be really interesting for them. Or they could've hit the magic dollar amount that was needed for them to sell. Or maybe margins were actually shrinking against larger competitors, and this made good business sense.

Knowing none of the answers to the above, I hope the more diligent investigators among you find them!
Not being able to dump fuel seems like a pretty serious design flaw.
1. This will not "prevent" mass shootings

2. This will be misused.

3. You think arming everyone is a better option than just decent gun control?

4. From what I can tell, this can be easily be defeated by a bulletproof vest and a gas mask.
You seem to be under the assumption that people in a true emergency situation have the mental coherency to even actively consider their own safety. The reason airline safety rules are so often repeated is that it gets people acting on 'automatic' without thinking about it, and even then there are various documented cases where airplane emergency survivors just sat in their seats without doing anything until someone told them to get up and off the plane.
No, what the market likes is profit.

I do work for a Fintech startup as well. We use Clojure and Clojurescript - it simply makes sense for us. It is extremely pragmatic choice that allows us to move fast safely. Seeing and experiencing all three sides - in all honestly I have to admit: yes, Java and Javascript are inherently less efficient languages for writing software than Clojure/Clojurescript. Java and Javascript are good, sorta "low-level" languages if you required to stay close to the platform they are made for, but in most cases (I'm just gonna throw some arbitrary number like 90%) it is not what's needed. They kind of have become "assembly" of JVM and Web.
Lyft doesn’t have the money to spare, so it sounds like they need to find a different job.

Try a little bit of olive oil. A few drops will do.
McD 'university' grads make a lot of money as managers and their school is free. Costco is another one of these companies where you can work at lowest level and move to upper mgt so staying there 4 years doesn't always mean burger flipping.

I have been called to remove 2 swarms this year after the homeowner had already doused them in flyspray.
The last one was a bit bigger than a basketball. Depressing.
When I got my BSCpE, there were no language classes. There was an OOP class, but no "Welcome to C++. Here's how you write a function." classes. It was just understood that you either had to learn quickly on your own or you knew how to code already (which I did).

So, technically, Tim is right. But man, I am so glad I got an engineering degree. I learned some really cool stuff (that wasn't strictly coding).
<marquee>yes</marquee>
Same here. Why is cyanide randomly planted in the wild to kill wild animals? What are they eating that's causing problems? Seems to serve minimal purpose and carry a large risk. If anyone else shoots a wild animal that's eating their trash they could go to jail.
It seems like native desktop app development is getting harder simply because fewer people are doing it; web apps seem to be the future.

Less investment -> less modernization -> less usage -> even less investment
I think Uber had better hope that this isn't the relevant comparison. Facebook stayed low for 5 quarters and then was buoyed back into growth by like 33% or so operating margins.

It feels like Uber is a really fucking long way from 33% operating margins.
You're right. I never said otherwise.
I completely agree. I currently use Rust for all my cross platform use-cases. I'd love to have the same kind of library ecosystem ("crates") with Swift that I get with Rust. I hope we will get there slowly, with this and now that Windows almost works.
It's a good thing™ Stack Overflow doesn't have those IDs in the URI anymore.

How is Swift JavaScript-like?
At least in they project the plant would glow forever. In this project they add the reactives submerging the leaves in a liquid with nanoparticles that have the reactives, so it locks like they will glow only once.

> The light generated by one ten centimetre (four inch) watercress seedling is currently about one-thousandth of the amount needed to properly read by, but it was enough to illuminate the words on a page of John Milton's Paradise Lost.

this generates a tiny amount of light, don't expect to use it to illuminate the streets like they hope in the article.

There is a wiki page that lists some.

> Generally regarded by whom* exactly?

It reflects badly on the investment bank. But doesn't mean anything about the companies fundamentals or where their stock is going to be in a year. Friend of mine bitched that when his company went IPO the bank priced it low and the result was the bank made a fortune and the companies war chest was smaller than it would have been with a higher initial price.

You used whom correctly, but an English speaker wouldn't notice if you used who either.
Profile on Garrett Camp, the Uber co-founder now worth –$3.7B
Ease of competition aside, I still think Uber is a massive bubble. Ride-hailing is of dubious actual utility, it's been causing traffic problems (and has been getting regulated accordingly), it has ethical problems with regards to employment (and faces constant threat of regulation from that angle too), and above all else, it's clear at this point that it will never be profitable while it relies on human drivers.

Investing in it is basically a hail-mary that we'll get fully autonomous vehicles within the next couple of years, and even in that best-case scenario Uber would be a strong-but-not-world-eating company (the traffic problems would still exist, and operating costs would skyrocket in the short-term before they go down). I can't fathom how it's worth nearly $10 billion dollars. I almost want to short it.
>eventual correctness, that is that every mistake made now will be eventually corrected.

That is not a feature unique to the scientific method, though. The same could be said of narrative tradition, or the heat death of the universe for that matter.

> The mutation rate across a genome is not constant

First time I heard about this, and it seems to explain why some animals/organisms hardly evolve at all over the eons (crocodiles comes to mind). So is this (the mutation rate) an established and accepted concept within evolutionary biology? and can it be used to explain the relative stability of some species? Sorry, not very educated in this area, just curious.
Main reason for Kotlin uptake is Android. Kotlin is successful due to smaller footprint of its runtime lib and just-slightly-better Java philosophy, because it uses Java collections instead of bringing its own like Scala did. A big runtime library and problems caused by high method count hitting limits of Android runtime slowed down adoption of Scala on Android and allowed Kotlin to take that niche. Later the official support from Google reinforced its position.
Link doesn't go anywhere?
Seems like your options are:

1. Mutable data (looks nice but can change)

2. Incrementing data (looks nice but can be guessed and measured)

3. Random looking data (immutable and unguessable but ugly)

Guids aren't the only option for 3 and some of the others may not look as bad, but it still seems the safest option. Any other compelling reasons to not use guids?
Erasure makes it easy for Java, Kotlin, and Clojure share code and data structures without costly runtime conversions. Languages like Scala and F# have had trouble implementing features on the CLR because of reification, and take a look at what Python and Clojure on the CLR have to go through for interop.

I know some people think that say they like reified generics in C#, but those are mostly people who aren't aware of what cost to the entire ecosystem they're paying in exchange to what is a minor convenience in C#.

BTW, reification of reference-type generics is not to be confused with specializing collections for value types ("arrays-of-struct") an extremely important feature that CLR indeed has, and Java is now working on getting.
Swift is not at all Javascript-like, I think. Interesting.
I called them. The rep seemed un-knowledgeable but offered that as, i suspect, a panacea.

I installed Windows 10 fresh.

Anyways, I got rid of the laptop - sorry HP, your competitors got my $2k :(
Ask HN: How do you deal with high blood pressure?
I hadn't gotten my blood pressure checked in at least 3 years. I went to the dentist last week and my blood pressure was really high for my age (28), albeit was a stressful day, it was pretty alarming to see it so high.

I have been actively monitoring my BP this week, with detailed notes on how my work day is going and any caffeine intake. After reviewing, I'm realizing that I need to make some changes to reduce stress, caffeine intake, and start making some life style changes.

Since a lot of us in tech likely have high-stress jobs, what do you personally do to deal with high BP?
>Now if only Apple would put more effort into cross-platform support for Swift...

You made the mistake of thinking Swift is a programming language and not just the Apple API.
Many developers don't want to think too much and generally choose Spring boot for a stable, highly-popular and well-documented framework. There is nothing wrong with this choice but I find it too bloated for lean container based micro-services.

Dropwizard and Micronaut are pretty good for getting a smaller and saner footprint. If you need more than REST, say you want a lean MVC-based web-framework, then Blade is also a good choice.

You can also choose not to use a framework and say use code-generation from a swagger/openAPI REST document and implement the remaining bits on your own. If your deployment target is AWS, you can also choose to leverage Netflix's fantastic set of libraries.

Java has tonnes of options, so you usually need to spend some time evaluating what goes into your stack.

Yes, thanks for that, it stirred my recollection as I actually bumped into Jon Swartz by accident just in that era.

I don't think it was money, so much as the established culture at Sun (i.e. James Gosling: "Sun is not so much a company but a debating society). A more aggressive CEO/leadership/culture would have maybe raised the money to take on Google, or to take another tact.

So while you are right - and thanks for the reference - the issue here is what Sun was about, vs. what Oracle is about.
>No one doubts anymore that app-based cabs are the future and traditional taxis business is pretty much done now.

As a counterpoint, I haven’t used a ride-sharing/bike-sharing/scooter-sharing app since about 2016, haven’t missed them, and find recent studies showing that they unaccountably plague cities with congestion and litter and injuries both compelling and indicative that these services, which proliferated by aggressively avoiding regulatory oversight, are about to find that that strategy no longer works.
I tested the Dell XPS13 9380, the new thinkpad x390, and the razer stealth 13 - all based on almost identical chipsets.

None of them had the same issue, although Dell did ship a bad TB3 driver which needed to be manually fixed.

I have other USB-C devices, including phone, that charge just fine on any charger.
Yes, copywritten isn't a word, but their point was that Oracle pushed for API's to be copywritable, which was not the case before their suit. It's an incredibly bad result with many shitty implications that are currently mostly being ignored but could lead to legal nuclear war at any time.
Syntactically it's like someone took TypeScript and said, "what are a couple of tweaks we can perform to make it slightly more ergonomic, and also how do we get rid of the garbage collector".
My brain shouldn't have to ignore them, though; that's what technology's for :)
No, I said it is too soon to tell, and that it has more to do with the balance of power going into the IPO.

> There are a few reasons why the lift-lever lap belt vanished from cars but not from airplanes. For one thing, a shoulder harness in a car is attached to the car’s frame, a very sturdy part of the car. In an airplane, it would have to be attached to the wall (“bulkhead”), which is less sturdy. You could attach it to the seat, but you’d have to reinforce the seat, which increases weight, which we don’t want.

> The aircraft industry has made some minor steps towards upgrading this system, instituting belts that actually have little airbags right in them. But the venerable lift-lever lap-borne seatbelt costs about $50 each, and passes the FAA’s requirements. So they remain in our seats.
"Mistake" is a strong word, and I would disagree with it. But when building extensible libraries and systems I do often find myself wanting to pass around a List<Something<?>>, which isn't doable without writing a second generic interface or the like. On the flip side, in Java (or, these days, Kotlin), a type-erased generic can be mediated more easily because passing a Class is easier than adding a second interface.

Part of it is that a lot of that stuff is gamedev-related, for me. It's not the biggest thing in the world, but for a lot of the stuff I find myself writing in C#, I find myself wishing for type erasure to make throwing data around a little easier. On the other hand, though, when writing web stuff on the JVM--I absolutely will not waste my time doing this in .NET, ASP.NET Core is not very good and EF Core is awful--I often wish for type reification, so it's just a horses-for-courses thing.
I've had a similar experience as the GP, and I find it awful that autoplay videos will follow you around the page, pop-up modals will interrupt you in the middle of reading something, and ads will take up 40% or more of the page, loading between paragraphs while reading. It's hugely distracting to me.

We could make the same argument: you've spend years without adblock, and they have worn you down to the point where you accept active mental blocking of highly distracting ads. And even then you say sometimes it's bad enough for you to leave the site.
To me Java is like a diesel engine, old but proven technology that can keep on chugging for hundreds of thousands of hours.

(Not to discount the recent improvements in GC, etc which are also amazing...)

I would be surprised if Google would allow to "link" to their page by putting it in a portal tag.

Just like they don't allow putting their pages in iframes:

But I would not be surprised if they put all search results in portal links and therefore keep all users on their site.
