I'm not saying they were great, and definitely on an organisational level they did some evil things. But on an individual level, shooting an unarmed person in the face in cold blood generally just wasn't done in the same way as it would have been in some other regimes.
You’re really comparing Netflix with a total yearly net income of less than $1.5 billion with a total debt of 10.1 billion (https://ycharts.com/companies/NFLX/total_long_term_debt) to Apple with a total debt of $50 billion with a net income of $57 billion?

Apple borrowed money to pay dividends and stock repurchasing to get around repatriating income before the tax changes. Netflix is borrowing money to keep up with much larger studios.

That's not accurate. Netflix can and do license their Netflix Originals just the same as any other production studio. They just don't do so as frequently as streaming is a superior delivery platform (from their perspective) in terms of user lock-in & profitability (no middle men). Those latter two reasons are a strong driving force for why Disney (and prior to that Fox) have been moving into the space

People don’t buy Netflix Originals on DVDs like they do Disney properties. People are still buying Disney DVDs of movies released 50 years ago. Disney is moving into streaming as an additional source of income.

I'm not sure I've ever been told what type of plane I'm flying in when I book - are you typically told?
A diplomat would say we could trust the FAA but now they need to be verified.
We've been working on a very similar idea to this for the past few months: https://pocketweb.io

There is a very early iOS beta available, and Android is coming within the month. We've thought a lot about battery and data and have gotten really good results by leveraging existing radio wakeups, batching requests, and doing all sorts of optimizations to the sites themselves.

Right now we're focused entirely on personal websites, because we believe the majority of those can actually easily be hosted on a phone (eg. How many people actually view your LinkedIn page every day? A single Facebook page doesn't require a datacenter. Etc).

We're limited to single static pages with images right now but better support for multiple pages and server code with SQLite is coming. More template types, for example stores, are coming as well.

Let us know what you think!
Been using IINA on Mac for a while too. It's simple and stays out of your way. Just plays the video/file I want it to play and has sane keyboard shortcuts to skip ahead/back. No faffing around with playlists.
Go modules is exactly the reference case, but let me expand on that a smidge, because that was when this become crystal-clear to me.

There's one exchange in a blog post linked from the article[1] about dep/modules that I think is illustrative of the entire issue (double >> are quotes in the article from Google/go, single > are commentary from the linked blog author):

>>Although it was a successful experiment, Dep is not the right approach for the next decade of Go development. It has many very serious problems. A few:

>>Dep does not support using multiple major versions of a program in a single build. This alone is a complete showstopper. Go is meant for large-scale work, and in a large-scale program different parts will inevitably need different versions of some isolated dependency.

>Russ [a member of the Go team] has asserted this from day one, and has brought several examples out in evidence, but has simply not convinced the committee that it’s true. Calling it a serious problem, let alone a showstopper, is a significant overstatement. The strongest claim that can be made on this point is that it’s a matter of opinion.

That, to me, is that. Go is Google's language, and Google said that for them, not supporting multiple versions of a dependency was a showstopper. The community read that and saw it as a point for debate, and the author continues to try to debate it in the article.

And that's the issue! It was not a point for debate. Google was being forthright. Google was saying "from day one" it was a literal showstopper, and the community seems to have read it as a figurative showstopper. Who was right in this instance is irrelevant; if the community wants to litigate Google's decisions rather than integrate them into their tools/patches/etc., then the community will not get those things adopted into go.

It is a comparison against a 7nm along with 0.65 area die reduction.

Current Nvidia is 12 nm I believe, so the question si what is the possible pixel count bump.
I do, because in long term sight their approach is irrational and expensive.
Some, but usually the rule is to not let them know - if they don't understand the problem, they shouldn't be burdened with deciding when and how the problem should be solved either.
They admit it but don't do anything about it. The very definition of a psychopath. I have no issue with people who are driven, mind you. The issue is that it leads to quality of life suffering for everyone in the company as expectations continue to ramp.

I just don't buy into it anymore. Management where I work attempts to pressurize people and I just laugh. Yes, the "hustle" culture is right--so your boss's boss's boss can make $20M last year while you have to cut coupons.
Blink is also under a FOSS license so I am not sure what the problem is. Competiting browsers use Blink as well.
Would love to try it and potentially integrate it. But to be honest the pricing structure is really not clear to me.

The developer page says try it for free and integrate it. Ok. Then it says commercial options for various scenarios exists. Ok. It shows a few scenarios. Ok.

Doesn't show a price though. When searching for prices it suddenly becomes "Find out about full applications" or "Contact Us " ?

Just looking at the dev engine you offer for download. what is the price of that ? What IS Wolfram|One ? What is the difference to the other options ?

Instead of making an easy decision as to whether its worthwhile to use some downloaded tech (which I still have to integrate no less) I have to wade through the page and different products or contact the sales people ? I also don't have any info as to how self-contained the engine is. How self contained is it ? Etc.

I was thinking of integrating WA before but had the same issue. Not something I would just add as a potential feature without making it a larger project with a specific customer in mind to be worth it for me.
There was an interesting Mentour Pilot about this, essentially the lead time for a new airplane order is in the order of years, and there are other costs as well. If you've built your business around one specific type of jet it's costly to move to the competitors, which is why the "no type rating change" was so important for the max.

Perhaps for future large orders this may be a boon for Airbus, but that would be in the longer medium term, and a lot can happen between then and now.

As it is, having two large companies trading blows is better than one dominating the market, so I hope Boeing are humbled, have a root and branch overhaul of how they conduct business, and shareholders take a hit, but that they survive.

Matlab lives from all the other toolboxes around it. It's not just the "coding" part.
for "regressive" and "progressive" to mean something useful, you need to take into account what the tax proceeds are used for. if a mildly regressive tax is used exclusively to fund healthcare for the poor, it's probably not regressive in the end. if a highly progressive tax is used exclusively to finance wars for the elite, it is probably not progressive in whole.

It's a stretch to say that people after Newton did not know what a limit was. It's just that they did not have the formal definition of one.

Newton invented limits. Only he did not have a fundamental basis for it. Hence, he saw it is a dirty trick that happened to yield correct and useful results.
The formalization of limits came later when the intuitive use of a limit started failing. If I recall, this was with the Weierstrass function.

I think we agree though. You can do most maths just by assuming you can do things with the rational numbers. It takes some really weird stuff before you need to properly define the 'real-numbers'.
I'd also add it will probably put some pressure on the United States to legitimize them again as well
Hold on a minute. Though the 737 MAX issues were caused by the desire to keep the same type rating, making the 737 MAX have a new type rating at this point won't solve the issue.

The 737 MAX needed to retain the unusual fuselage design of the 737 to retain the type rating, leading to the unusual positioning of the new, larger engines, leading to MCAS.

Even if they gave the 737 MAX a new type rating at this point, the fuselage would still be the same shape as a 737 with the engine positioning driving the need for MCAS.

The only way to get rid of the need for MCAS at this point, AFAICT, would be to create a new fuselage which doesn't inherit the historical baggage of the 737 (which was designed to support airstairs). That would be a whole new plane, not just a new rating. The 737 MAXes built so far would be scrap.

It's been remarked before, but if Boeing hadn't been so determined to keep the same type rating, reviving the 757 might have made more sense.
35% of the UK have a negative net worth. Inflation helps there, assuming your salary increaese with inflation. Interest rates of course then have the opposite effect,

Year 1: debt of £100k and salary of £20k and 2% interest and 4% inflation. £18k left over, £100k owed (5x wage).

Year 2: debt of £100k, salary of £20,800. £18,800 left over, £100k owed (4.8* salary)

Year 10: debt of £100k, salary of £29600, £27,600 left over, £100k owed (3.4* salary)

In Year 1 pounds, salary stays at £20k, but debt drops to £67,566, and interest payments drop to £1351 a year.
I think it's unlikely that it was a 737-MAX, Norwegian should have just 18 737-MAX and more than 110 737-800.

> Java has only things that were proved to work in other languages.

But they still somehow keep finding ways to make them not work so well when implemented in Java.

C# may move faster, but its design team is also much more methodical about ensuring that new features have good ergonomics. In Java, I tend to feel surrounded by hacks that were hastily slapped on in an effort to keep up with C# and, increasingly, Kotlin.

Is anyone else extremely reluctant to fly on a Boeing plane after this?

A lot of people say "It's no big deal, they just need to update the MCAS software", but I see this entire situation as a sign of much deeper issues at Boeing, issues that can't be fixed with a simple software update and could affect every plane they make.
Or maybe this is retaliation for the billions Chinese companies have made off stolen American IP. Ever thought of that? To imply this is pure protectionism is over simplifying it.
You're about 10 years late to this debate, which has largely been settled.

99% is not a precise figure for sure. I've found those 2 articles / surveys on that:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-airplane-boeing-...

"Southwest said the comments were consistent with feedback it receives and noted that “well less than 1% of customers check their aircraft type traditionally, but we do expect more customers to become aware given the current climate.” " - 99% seems close :) I frankly don't expect that to change that much - maybe it will become 95%, still overhelming majority.

Show HN: I Created a Code Beautifier in Two Days
I'm of the mind that it is un-Java like. Whether or not there is a "Java" as a philosophy is not the hill I'm trying to die on.

Consider these contrived lines of code:

```

String first = someMethodCall();

var second = someMethodCall();

```

The first provides more useful information at a glance. I don't see any value in the "nice shorthand." Typing out "SomeStupidClassName" has never once been a material bottleneck in my 15+ years of programming, but now we have this new option that caters to the lazy, and in doing so makes life harder. Now I have to either ban it, embrace it, or come up with some ruleset around when you can and can't use it. Why? Someone can't be bothered to type a few extra characters.

It reminds of my grandfather, a former professional ball player, but one who played back in the days where there weren't these multi-million dollar celebrity ballplayers pissing and moaning in the press about just how hard their life is. He used to call those types "high-priced cry-babies," and I really feel a tinge of that in dealing with folks who just wholly embrace `var` and give folks like me shit for having criticisms of it. Perhaps that's just my old blue-collar showing but your convenience in writing a handful of characters simple will never enter into my considerations.

I love using Java, I love the addition of things like streams, the Optional type, etc. My sibling comment is a little right, and very wrong. Lots of Java developers have a certain conservatism about them, I'm mostly certainly one. But there are large reasons to hate it.
As long those languages aren't native, they won't be nearly as popular as swift. Swift doesn't need to be adopted outside of iOS development at all, because when people develop iOS apps the main choice will be Swift.

Swift is actually a very pleasant language, and apple provides some pretty good documentation although it could be better.

It's going to play out like this: Swift or Objective-C (for legacy codebases/people who already experts in objective-c and don't want to switch), and some other, slower languages that will always be second class.
I can't connect, the domain does not resolve.

But sure, there are good solutions to this, like SCRAM. Unfortunately, there is not much point when the authentication code is controlled by the server (eg. JS served by a server)
Oh yes. They want all contact to go through them. They charge huge fees and they want to make sure that the hosts and clients don't try to make arrangements on their own without AirBnb getting their cut.

I find the effects of overwork to be quite interesting- a lack of space for self makes it impossible to perform actually life enriching behaviors such as retreats, meditations, socialization, and hobbies. This means there's simply no room for any other entertainment or enrichment beyond the most shallow/fast/addictive stuff - social media, twitter wars, the thrill of buying nice things.

(EDIT: I should emphasize why it's so interesting to me because people often overwork with the justification for life enrichment, but the actual act of overworking reduces space/time for life enrichment!

I was born and live in Eastern Europe. I have also lived in Israel for a few years, and have visited other countries for significant period of time.

People here are much less trusting and are much more aggressive to others. It is actually LESS visible if you're a foreigner, because people are also concerned with self-image, and don't really perceive you as a threat or a contender for anything.

As an American who doesn't speak Russian, you'll get a much better treatment from stranger on a street than another Russian would.

Amazon Rekognition and Webhose.io API = Cool Demo
Booked a flight for later this summer (US). United apparently thinks the Max is going back in service sooner than later, at least the MAX-9. I decided to take a less desirable iternary and more expensive flights to avoid that aircraft. Clearly the FAA is signaling to someone that this is all going to blow over. Does anyone actually expected the Boeing's to fail the investigation? I don't. Business as usual: "We identified what happend, won't happen again, promises"

I won't be flying on one anytime soon if I can help it.

I should have included in my first post. I think rather than splitting between Community or Cooperate, a more accurate representation would be how much Market Value are depending on those Languages. If you have a company dependent on OCaml, let say it is on 30th on the list, but the company is making billions in Net profits, you could bet the company will fund the development of Ocaml, even if it was driven by a Foundation, or Community.

Personally, I'd love to :)

One annoying point is that the core API, used by the modules, can change at any time (the modules are updated along with the API).

If there are Rust bindings for the core API [1], every API change must be reflected in Rust (and in modules written in Rust). This is problematic.

And then you only have a job. With any sort of business education (even on the job training how to operate a business) turns an engineer occupying a job into an independent professional capable of striking out on their own.
It depends.

The most well-known and common form of "IP theft" is cheaply made Chinese knock-offs that are forgeries. That's trademark infringement. It's not that big of a problem.

What is an actual problematic form of "IP theft" is China appropriating trade-secrets.

The bulk of "IP theft" that is used to fuel the current war of words seems to be patent infringement. Patent infringement sounds problematic, but really isn't. Even though China can produce devices that infringe, they can't sell those goods back to areas of the world where patent enforcement isn't as lax. They can sell them in China and that's a large market, but:

- companies buying cheaply produced local copies weren't likely to buy the real thing in the first place.

- Local copies are of inferior quality. By the time the local copies approach the quality of the original, they will be priced in the same ballpark as the original (and the original will be on the next generation).

So yes, there is "IP theft" going on, but once again the term "IP" is being thrown around to obfuscate matters to support a political end and reality is quite a bit more complex but not as threatening as it's made out to be.
Both terms are just stupid.

Deep web: stuff not indexed by search engines. Private forums, non-public social media accounts, Telegram rooms, Discord servers etc. are technically "deep web".

Dark web: a subset of deep web that requires specific software or configuration to access. Slightly more precise, but still includes every possible use case for IPFS, Dat, ".onion" etc. Note that this is nowhere close to what people usually mean when they use the term "dark web". They're referring to the subset of a subset of deep web that's used for criminal activities.
The nice thing about walking minefields is learning how to watch your step.
> Java developers are some of the most conservative developers around.

You're right, there are loads of conservative Java developers. It's one of the the things that makes me love using the language.

> The irony is that people are now abusing "aspects" and "dependency injection" via frameworks like Spring that bring everything but the kitchen sink, but then the language becomes effectively dynamic, as via those annotations all static type safety goes out the window.

> Misconceptions mostly.

But drop the strawman argument and borderline ad hominem. It'll do you better.
The Distributional Hypothesis (2008) [pdf]
Yes, I am. It's not a 'just need to update MCAS' situation IMO, that's a Boeing talking point. We don't know how badly the MCAS is needed and how dangerous the plane is if it fails, and their current solution is to make it more failure prone (read from two sources and disable upon >x disagree).
You're not missing the point. I apparently didn't do a good job of making it clear.

I'm primarily talking about external data/services. Anything which you would ordinarily consider "suspect", such as "reading from a third-party API", is the target here.

The odds of printf() failing are so ridiculously low that I am not going to write tons of code to handle this case. It's not worth the money.

The odds of putMoneyInCustomerAccount() failing are much higher, and the consequences are much graver, so that's a perfect candidate for saying "maybe just throwing an exception ain't the best solution here."

In the case of OOP, particularly in Kay's vision, these objects might be written by someone else, using code we don't see, and thanks to isolation, might be connecting to third-party services which do all sorts of interesting things we don't know about or need to care about. Thus, they're not trusted.

If I wrote the object or I can read its code, and I know what it's doing, I'm not going to sweat it.

I'm also not arguing that we should always make the code that robust. Some things you can recover from or your budget might not allow you to make the system more robust.
