Well, yeah, Reader is that kind of thing.

I guess that the complexity people are concerned about is that once you implement a parametric polymorphism, HKTs are inevitable and that probably requires some brain flexing in order to get the meaning of a structure, which defeats the main purpose that is being explicit and simple. Pretty much a deadlock. I now understand why the community is so in odds with the parametric polymorphism as the concept but I'm also sure that simplicity of use and convenience of writing a robust solution is the two things that require it. You can't keep your head near the sand and avoid HKTs when you want flexibility and you can't allow that type of polymorphism whilst striving for what's Go trying to do.

While understanding the both standpoints, though, I still hope that Go will get parametric polymorphism as it's just so much more pleasant and convenient than carrying around a mess of structures to be explicit no matter the costs.
In my experience, you don't really have to target es5 anymore. Most browsers support new features all the way through es2018. My Babel / Webpack config is pretty minimal these days.
Yes Java has many issues, but writing complex GUI apps in plain C in this day and age is the wrong thing to do. The early Gnome founders learned this the hard way which led to Mono, which at least had automatic memory management.
I fear this OS is destined to become like Samsung Tizen, which is riddled with security holes. It's not as if we don't have excellent libre languages, e.g. Rust and OCaml.

I applaud the open nature of this phone, but using the Gnome stack looks to me like a mistake.

What is really funny, is that for blender, historically speaking, 2.8 is massive. Have a look at the file sizes of some of the early work - https://download.blender.org/release/
Sorry - I misunderstood. Are you talking about kids who will claim to have made-up friends because of peer pressure? I've not heard of that sort of thing before, but I suppose it's possible - some people/kids will tie themselves into knots just to fit in with the other kids.

(Personal example: I deliberately lied about not understanding how to do long division just so I wouldn't look too clever in front of my peers - I kept up the pretence for several months.)
You view this as a bad thing. As a consumer, I view it as a good thing. I’m not sure if folks remember what “apps on mobile” were like before Apple came along, but it was the goddamn Wild West. The fact that it’s walled in, that I’m not going to get pwned, that my parents won’t (and won’t be tempted to by the promise of an extra $0.99 saving) is to my mind, a good thing.

If all this competition that the article talked about was such a good thing, apps would be cheaper on Android, and I, as a consumer, would switch. Fact is, the fact that Tinder et al are now bypassing Google’s mechanisms isn’t a good thing to me at all. It’s more the reason to stay on iOS.

The article writer is pissed he can’t get access to me without paying Apple’s toll, but what he doesn’t understand is that I am like it like that.
> I’ve met their head of data science. They’re doing all that stuff and have been for many years.

This sounds very much in violation of GDPR. Are they just betting on people being too embarrassed to take them to court?
@amzans any reason you’re doing a show HN now? Been following this for a while, and just noticed a new release... is there something in it that makes you feel it’s ready for prime time?
My wife bore us 7 children, but I still totally disagree with your argument.
So it is ok for companies to do things like this with the tax laws, but not OK for individuals?

There is no law against giving up custody of your child. Additionally, FAFSA says you must include parents wealth, so if you have no "parents", then you don't have to include them.

When I tried Blender a few years back there were lots of tutorials, but they were all in video format. For some people that's great; for some people that's useless. Has there been any improvement here?

Even aside from personal learning preferences, I suspect trying to learn a complex UI from a video is going to be a struggle if you're working on a single screen.
Right, that's why the setting is called resist fingerprinting. You still need to take other precautions like not full screening. A while ago I tested resistfingerprinting with a few machines and they all have the same fingerprint, so at least it's better than nothing.

I tested with my browser and it was unique as well. It seems to be caused by high dpi monitor breaking the window size rounding logic. Retrying with high dpi disabled results in

Within our dataset of several hundred thousand visitors tested in the past 45 days, only one in 5551.36 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 12.44 bits of identifying information.

Maybe having resistfingerprinting is a fingerprinting datapoint itself?
I have 529 plans for both my kids. Lets say I save up enough for them to pay for their entire college. If an alternate family, making the same as us, saves nothing, could they qualify for aid, while we wouldn't?

arrow functions are not just a function() alternative, but they solve the whole 'var self = this'/'.bind(this)' boilerplate.

It's one of the best JS improvements of the last 10 years.
My understanding is that it is possible to conduct an experiment which would invalidate pilot wave theory or confirm it, to the extent that theories are invalidated or confirmed--we just haven't figured out how to conduct the experiment.

The article mentions that Bell's inequality was in a similar position in the past.
Film 3D is mostly Linux at this point. All the major VFX shops (like Weta) and animation studios (Disney, Pixar, etc) are on Linux for artist workstations. Apple stuff gets lots of use, but mainly iPads for story boarding and such.
The intent has never been to engage in nuclear war. That doesn't mean you don't make contingency plans. Nothing has changed in that regard.
The problem is there is so much content available on the web, but there isn't yet a federated subscription service to support it all. I would pay ~ $5 a month for news access, but I'm certainly not going to pay 2 or 5 or 10 dollars a month for each random site I visit to read their couple articles that may interest me. I just will skip their content.

In order for the public to really want their genes sequenced,there will have to be privacy in place. Nobody should have access to the data. Just deliver it and provide analysis tools. Even then, it something you only need to do once. Demand won't get higher than that, so demand isn't really going to be a big price driver.
One thing that's nice about a monorepo is if the language has modules. It it supports modules well you can isolate your code better but still keep it in one large repo.

I dislike having all my code under one 'src' directory and it's nice to have modules like foo-ui and foo-util and so forth. Knowing that one module doesn't use ui components is nice because you can use it on the backend for example.

But it's all fully integrated and tested together.
I could quote from the bill, but the individual subsections all make material changes in the way the IRS runs.

Reducing everything to "creates a new department or abolishes an existing one" or "does nothing and just keeps the lights on" isn't a useful rubric.

Not sure that changes the relevance of the usury discussion, even if you personally are insulated from medical bankruptcy.
Why would anyone still try to hide a nuclear accident in this day and age when the fallout is traceable?
> Adding a transpilation step to extend support to older browsers comes with almost no cost to time or maintainability

They may be simple concepts, but there's definitely still an added cost with transpilation and minification steps.

If you work with Babel long enough you'll encounter scenarios where the transpiling didn't quite work as expected and breaks in-browser.

When you're debugging minified code in-browser using source maps, it's not all that uncommon to get different line numbers and stack traces than you get when loading up the original unminified source. I can recall a number of occasions where I had to deploy unminified source for in-browser debugging because the source maps were obfuscating the real error.

I mean the real world is not like Atlas Shrugged, which is archetypical self-indulgent libertarian fantasy porn. The invisible hand isn't God setting things right and making life fair, it's rich assholes (who worship Ayn Rand and think they're God) rigging the system to cheat for themselves.

It does. The students are declaring themselves "financially independent." The guardianship is a tool towards that end goal.

- Parents voluntarily grant guardianship (to friend/relative).

- Guardian dissolves (either voluntarily or automatically).

- Student gains financially independent status. Is eligible for financial aid.
Fascinating speculation in that thread:

...running DOOM engine inside Unity, render to a 320x200 texture and make Unity render that texture to the screen with orthogonal projection?

Given that Carmack and most of the original personnel left, I suppose it's unsurprising.
> When all the children were screaming in the theatre to the good guy "the bad guy is at your back!", I could not understand why the other children were screaming at the actor.

I used to do that too, but now I find it much more fun to let go and completely engage in the plot, including feeling what protagonist feels, verbal reactions, etc. This makes good drama much better, as the director is anyway trying their best to make you feel like the actor on screen -- so why not listen? :) Watching TV with friends becomes more enjoyable too!

It seems much fairer to universally fund zero or low cost tuition for public university (or trade school, etc)

I like the inclusion of trade school: https://jakeseliger.com/2018/03/12/the-case-against-educatio..., as a lot of modern college education is bogus: https://jakeseliger.com/2014/04/27/paying-for-the-party-eliz.... I've been on the supplier side of it, and the extent of the corruption in the system is understated.

Still, zero or low cost will create shortages, and that will create fairness or unfairness of a different variety. There is no panacea. We should admire and work towards better vocational education, though, because many people don't like sitting quietly and doing abstract symbol manipulation.
Free to start. Pricing for Pro 'Contact Us'

I hate it when they do that. I surely would never implement something for free without having some idea of the costs in case the volume increases. Still its often this way. Are other people really so careless ?
that's a cynical view. Capitalism is the freedom to buy and sell from whoever you choose. If what you choose to sell is something so unique, you'll escape competition.

I agree, irritation isn't a valid reason. Addiction, on the other hand, is valid. Endless scrolling is designed to help keep people glued to their phones, continuously triggering a dopamine response that makes them keep scrolling, liking, and following. The purpose of it is to keep you hooked.

I read the article and didn't find any compelling examples of how the Jason team did anything that created actual value for the DoD specifically or US in general.

AFAICT, this is a team of distinguished scientists that is kept on the government payroll so that the US has the best scientific minds available for national security issues. Sounds great in theory, but when a clearly sympathetic article's chosen examples of the good work the group does include nuggets such as, "In the 1960s, the Jasons invented a type of sensor that could detect enemy guerrillas in Vietnam and communicate their location to U.S. bombers", I dunno, I'm kind of skeptical. I mean, maybe that sensor had a subsequent use case for the space program or something, who knows.
Of course I'm biased. Google is a huge multinational corporation with a vested interest in keeping me on their platform. They're not researching vulnerabilities in Apple's products out of the goodness of their hearts, and although I agree that they're probably doing the right thing in this case, the fact that they're releasing the vulnerabilities at all probably has some ulterior motives.
The fact that bankruptcy is even possible is completely different still from the usury of 500 years ago.

> Borst said the university told the three students midway through last school year that their university-based financial aid would be reduced. “We didn’t hear any complaint, and that is also a big red flag,” Borst said. “If they were needy, they would have come in to talk with us.”

That's reminiscent of what gave away Louis Colavecchio, who was ripping off Atlantic City casinos with counterfeit tokens. The casinos knew they were being ripped off, because their token inventory was higher than they could account for, and the discrepancy was increasing.

The counterfeit tokens were good enough that the casinos had no way to detect them, and when they sent a batch of tokens back to the manufacturer that they were sure include at least some counterfeits and asked if the manufacturer could come up with some way to fight this, the manufacturer said all the tokens were genuine.

What finally happened is that Colavecchio was using his counterfeit tokens at a slot machine that took high value tokens, like $50, and the token mechanism jammed. Colavecchio just moved over to the next machine, and continued playing.

The security people saw this, and found it very suspicious. When a machine jams and eats someone's $50 token, they don't just move over and continue gambling, even if they are a gambling addict. They go find casino staff to retrieve the jammed token or get reimbursed.

They detained him and searched his car and room, and found a large collections of tokens for several casinos, and knew they had finally found the counterfeiter.
> but millennials have no power

Millennials are up to 38 years old in 2019.
Samuel Pepy's journal is a fascinating account of how money functioned in the 1660s. There was very little actual money, everything was done in IOUs. He worked in the Navy, purchasing food and rope. The King gave him an IOU, he then wrote IOUs to people he bought things from. People seemed to know exactly how much you had.
One time a friend of his hurt a servant, the next day everyone went to cash in their IOU with the friend fearing there would be a rush to do so. The friend was ruined and lost everything having to pay out the IOUs. Respect was everything in such a society.
The USSR also glorified scientists to a degree that is unheard of in the US. While people here grew up with Martin Luther King Ave, the USSR kids grew up with Yuri Gagarin street.

Furthermore, phds were available to people besides wealthy kids or those looking to commit economic suicide.

There were problems with the USSR, but education definitely surpassed US education in the 80s. Furthermore, what Kennedy tried to do with his fitness program was commonplace in the USSR.
> cross repo edits were painful.

We are moving to a mono-repo for this very reason. Debugging something where you had to make changes to multiple projects, wait for those changes to go through the build pipeline, pull in updated packages in projects that depended on them, then change those projects (and on), was a complete nightmare.

We're a bit over halfway there (the most painful half) and I expect us to get the rest done sometime in the next 3 months or so. Not looking back. At all.
Show HN: Building a Google Calendar Slack Bot – 5 Minute Tutorial
I had some for a brief period. More like characters I imagined interacting with me, and with one another. I could have told you they weren't real, of course.

My possibly-incorrect recollection is that I thought them up on a long road trip, and that they rarely "existed" anywhere other than the car. A couple hours-long trips to relatives' houses every year, usually one big vacation involving entire days in the car, maybe one or two other longish drives a year, plus shorter journeys pretty much daily. Wonder if tons of constrained, boring car travel has anything to do with it—if not causing the phenomenon, then encouraging it, anyway.
this smacks of the conspiracy fallacy... "the guilty are hiding the evidence"
A 1 carat diamond costs about $6000, a 1 carat Moissanite stone costs about $600. Even if you could resell the 1 carat diamond for $3000 (you can't, they depreciate in value once you leave the store faster than a car when it leaves the lot) it would still be 3-4x cheaper to buy the Moissanite stone.
For what it's worth, Mozilla routinely discloses internal findings, subject to the same policy as external findings: the bug report is opened up once the fix has shipped to a sufficient fraction of users.

So it's not "literally no company". ;)

This is why regulations in general are so messy. You come up with a "common sense" regulation to address a problem. You end up creating a new problem as people attempt to skirt the rules and get around it.

It's a good reason why healthcare is so messed up in the US. A ton of rules that create really bizarre incentives to get around them.
"Falsifiable" is a fantastic term but the philosophy of science did not stop with Popper, and it's not the only term we have available to discuss competing theories.
I understand that for some people this might help, but frankly I find all of these "reproducibility" frameworks fall flat as soon as truly big data enters the picture. Data versioning is not sufficient, because I typically cannot roll back my datasets to a previous version (and we moved forward for a reason).

Also, we are deliberately not using Databricks for this to avoid vendor lockin for something that will almost certainly be open-source soon.
If we assume that Ms. Thompson is generally terrible at opsec, then presumably she is also terrible at offensive security, which leads to one of two conclusions:

Either:

A: She is being framed.

or

B: Capital One's security was (and probably still is) laughable.

She doesn't seem to be being framed. If Capital One's security is horrendous, they are unlikely to be exceptional... so we will see much more of this.
For this particular case, I don't know. Someone who set the policy would have to articulate why they thought it was important. Once they have articulated that, we can decide where the line should be for who gets the exemption and who doesn't.

It is not an absolute formula. You have to use judgement, and sometimes you are going to get it wrong on the boundaries.
I honestly think your situation is probably more common than the one in the article.

I knew a few people in a similar situation to yours, where they could not rely on parental support after turning 18, but they were not considered legally emancipated before that point so FAFSA wasn't giving them any grants. The one kid I knew who has actually homeless due to parents kicking him out in high school, did get legally emancipated and was able to qualify for FAFSA, but it was a huge pain.

The people I knew in this situation mostly ended up working some job, going to community college and transferring into a state school or getting a cert for a different career path from community college.
How are private hotel security able to search someone's car? That seems sketchy.
> Name any other industry that gets a detailed map of your finances and savings before issuing a price for their services.

But, higher ed doesn't. They set a price in advance, and get that information if/when you ask for a public subsidy (which the university may require you to do and to share the information as a condition of offering their own discounts, framed as self-issued subsidiies.) Pretty much every industry can ask for that kind of information as a condition of offering discounts, though they may not have public subsidies available or be able to get the information used in public subsidy applications directly.
