There are more options in the design space than those two extremes. Rust does not do either of these two things, for example. It will not let you use something you haven’t initialized, but it also doesn’t force you to declare a default value for each type. If a default value makes sense, you can make one, but you still have to explicitly ask for a default, rather than it implicitly happening.

I think each of these three languages have made the correct choice, given their design ideals.
As a TypeScript user who always disliked the object API and preferred vue-class-component, I feel a bit left out in the fallout of this. JavaScript users are always the loudest. IMO there is no clear, great option for people who are TS devotees. Again it feels like TS was an afterthought.

Will have to experiment a bit. Maybe it's possible to do something decent with some helper functions.
It might not have been worth the money, but it's nice that it didn't end up in the garbage.

Churning out Javascript/webshit frameworks every month, and running on fumes and the good graces of VCs isn't innovation.

"Boring" industries like insurance might not seem innovative on the outside because their members aren't blogging and twattering about it constantly. One of my clients does catastrophe modeling, and uses both Python and .NET (F#)...but it's probably not going to be something on your radar. But guess what, they're raking in the dough while actually being innovative, yet you're here on HN claiming they're not proper engineers.

Best of luck to you.

Because it’s a common point of rhetorical contention? The facts of the matter are settled with proof by definition but the association between Islam and Arabs is a tarpit that’s useful or limiting depending on the team and the point being argued.

I’m simply a fan of speaking as carefully and clearly as possible. I don’t mind linking ideas in a conversation but doing so up front and in the open. Not with a wink and nod that we can intuit “what they really think.” Just look at how much weasel wording you wrote and assumptions made when clarifiying.

The government is the one ceding control in this instance via Waterfront Toronto, but even then there was an original agreement to what was actually being given up, which seems like it's being pushed aside by Sidewalk Labs.

People at least have a say in how government is run; a lot of times they're not motivated to, but with enough public protest the public has turned the large ship of government around (see: freeway revolts of the 1970s). In general I may not trust the government, but I certainly trust it a lot more than a corporation which I have no stake in and no hope of influencing at all.

This is big for making services which rely on DNS much easier to roll out in a container environment (ECS, EKS, etc). Traditionally we've had to create custom AMI images, use CloudFormation to keep them running with EIPs, and then have those EIPs be part of runtime configuration for our services.

I doubt many people know this explicitly, but I think the necessary behavior is intuitive to lots of people. I suspect people "on (or near) the spectrum", which is far more common in tech circles, get their ass handed to them career wise many times because of this, because they are in some sense looking at a different version of reality than other people.

I don't know Geometer's Sketchpad but I see my software as a drawing software with geometry features and not as an educational geometry software.

I have always been frustrated with vector drawing software because shapes are not linked together (except for grouping) and this make complex drawing very hard to modify. This is an attempt to solve this.

I originally wanted to add some generative capabilities like
contextfree (https://www.contextfreeart.org/) but I have not gone in this direction at the moment. The more "generative"-like feature is currently path effects (https://www.ludigraphix.org/path-effects).

It's basically a Pi, a buck regulator, a tiny COB USB audio interface and an SSD1306-based 128x32 display. Removed all connectors and replaced them with soldered wires so it packs neatly into a tiny box.

Long ago, in the mists of time when I was a wee lad, the internet was a simpler place. There were seven buttons around the world, all pressed down by volunteers. If any four of them were released, the world would end. “The world” was defined as “the internet”, and at the time that meant “the world” was defined as “men with beards and suspenders and real opinions about Star Trek”, and so that wasn’t so bad.

Today in 2019, “the world” is defined as “you know, the world“, and there are seven million buttons being held down all over the world.

If any four of them are released, the world ends.

We have made mistakes, is what I’m saying.

(I once had call to explain to nontechnical people how and why the internet is the way it is and why my ops crews tend to be full of people who are a little too calm about things being constantly on fire. This was my best crack at it.)
Yeah, that's a particularly tough one because the most obvious laws about racial inequality (equal access to housing, jobs, education) were passed a while ago.

Today if you want to address racial inequality via legislation, that means police reform and drug policy. When you talk about those subjects to someone who isn't either directly affected by them or well-educated about them, they don't seem on their face to be related to racial inequality.

Only recently do you see republicans starting to talk (a little) about drug policy changes now that opioid abuse has started becoming a huge problem in some white communities. Video camera footage of police abuse may also help eventually bring republicans in on that problem - but that is dependent on cops having working cameras, not turning them off, and the people watching the video actually having empathy for the people being abused. Maybe if cops started harassing vocal 2nd amendment advocates their tune would change.
There have been HN threads about Tangier Island English in the past, but I can't find any. Perhaps someone will.

Great article! A couple missing periods at the ends of paragraphs FYI.

I'm curious why so much of this lies on Verizon's shoulders. Couldn't DQE and Allegheny have implemented the exact same best practices that Verizon should have, so it never leaked to Verizon's level? And to the extent non-Verizon subscribers were affected, couldn't their ISPs have implemented the same best practices in distrusting Verizon? Is Verizon directly responsible for routing that much of global traffic?

Hi everyone! I am based in Minneapolis Minnesota and am actively seeking a tech cofounder.

I believe I have something that can compete on Amazon's level on the consumer goods side.

The idea is to build a web/mobile application where customers are able to order refillable, reusable consumer goods such as groceries and shampoos. Once they are used up, we pick it up clean it and have it ready for refill.

Vision for the future: Your in house AI that orders all your daily essentials not on a subscription basis but based on your beliefs and behaviors, providing you the power over companies competing for your attention.

Competitors already in it:

I wonder how much of this will be re-indentified.

For example, the path and browsing habits of someone as they travel through a store can be completely anonymous. But when they go to the register, it can be attached to a specific individual.

Ugh, have fun with the dependency issues. An easy alternative is to run a Unifi docker image. Currently running it from a Debian VM when needed but looking to move it to an alpine vmm on my OpenBSD APU2. The Linux image is the same as the cloud key so you can roll your own cloud key and use the unifi app.

Here is the image I use though there are others: https://hub.docker.com/r/jacobalberty/unifi/

I live in an apartment with quite strict fire-protection standards. Due to the fact that I have a cat that absolutly loves to go outside, I needed to find a solution for him to get outside without a catdoor trough my door.

So I installed a fire-protecion-approved door drive that is hooked to a raspberry pi. Another raspberry pi then analyzes a video stream and detects my cat. If my cat is in the frame for n amount of time, a message is sent to the pi conntected to the door drive and the door opens up slightly for him to get in.
Yeah, I scratch my head on that one. Is a DEF system that expensive for the end user? It seems like it would have been a trivial thing to include.

I'm not familiar with this side of networking, but it sounds to me the "BGP Optimiser" product was left largely to its own devices and automated a configuration change without any explicit approval from a human operator (I could be wrong)

With the protocol being prone to problems like leaky routes and sloppy peers accepting them, is it really wise to leave these BGP optimiser products running without some level of supervision?

EDIT: of course I guess the human operator might wave the change through too without fully appreciating the problem...

I think it is still a good thing to subsidize electric cars for several reasons:

1) even if powered 100% by coal plants, these plants have an higher efficiency than cars' internal combustion engines, especially if you consider the energy/co2 emissions due to the distillation process of petrol/diesel. Moreover, having a huge central plant means that you can install heavy and big filters and possibly re-capture some of that co2. You can't do this with cars

2) not all the power comes from coal plants, some from nuclear, some from natural gas, and even from renewables sources

3) when we finally crack nuclear fusion / thorium reactors / we found a way to store the surplus of renewables for underperforming times in a good way (like with molten salt https://newatlas.com/mit-molten-salt-battery-membrane/53085/ ) we can be carbon free from as soon as these technologies spread, without having to way for consumers to change cars

4) Pushing people to use newer technologies means that companies will spend more in R&D on this subject. Imagine if someone finally invents a battery with energy capacity of 5x current Li-ion. A car like the model 3 will have ~ 1500 kms of range

...

Of course there are points in favor of petrol/diesel cars, like the fact that producing current batteries is not that good for the environment, but if we don't invest on this we'll never have the incentive to overcome these problems.
'...High humidity meant it would feel like 47C, experts warned. “El infierno [hell] is coming,” tweeted the TV meteorologist Silvia Laplana in Spain, where the AEMET weather service forecast temperatures of 42C by Thursday in the Ebro, Tagus, Guadiana and Guadalquivir valleys and warned of an “extreme risk” of forest fires.'

Right -- it's ultimately a trust problem, and we're in an unfortunate negative feedback loop here.

Bots aside, what we post on the internet (and believe in general) is a function of the information we consume. That information is increasingly consumed through the internet, and the internet (as typically used) is feeding us increasingly poor quality information. (To be consumed, then shared. Recurse...)

We can (and I think do) cope by having different levels of trust for different sorts of internet information. I generally have higher trust in an HN post than an Amazon review, for example. This is useful, but has a dark side: some of the things I (and likely, you) take as a sign to "increase trust" happen to correlate with things that have nothing to do with trust. I trust Amazon reviews more if they have good grammar and spelling, largely because I trust general internet information more when it has good grammar and spelling. But perhaps I shouldn't when e.g. buying a screwdriver (what does writing ability -- and the things it correlates with -- have to do with evaluating a screwdriver?). Coming up with social/political-flavored-information examples is an interesting (and worrying) exercise.
2 Pis for dealing with ADS-B (airplane data), one for 1090Mhz, the other for 978Mhz. I could run that on the same one, but seemed easier to just split them up given some of the software is a bit picky with device IDs. The 978Mhz is much quieter than the 1090Mhz, so I also run a private SpyServer (https://github.com/lloydpick/docker-spyserver) for listening to radio transmissions.
