I assume it's because I pointed out shop owners not having guns makes them easier targets.

Also a lot of wealthy americans tend to fetishize New Zealand as a place they can 'escape' to every time a republican becomes president - so maybe this ruins the image they have of it.

Yes you can write that same bash script as a chrome extension and nobody will care. Many people use extensions that make automated requests not intended by the website operators.

Making automated requests isn't illegal and won't per se get you sued, it's literally how a web browser works. What gets you sued is pissing somebody off. So don't do that.
The historical norm also included pretty overbearing social surveillance of movements and contacts. I think you'd have an easier time getting a conspiracy past the NSA than getting it past the town elders.

Thanks!

And yes - this is actually totally doable. I've done it so far for platforms like Wordpress, Shopify, and Magento, as well as a couple custom internal admin tools of customers so far.

It isn't something I have standard pricing and docs on yet but I am totally open to doing that. Do you have a use case in mind?
Thanks so much, that means a lot!
Can confirm. Love my job, answered pretty much yes on all of these. Company's doing pretty damn well.
I don't think anyone who works in the industry thinks that OpenGL or DirectX (pre-12) are "fantastic graphical APIs" unless judging solely on install base.

Everything I've heard says that Vulkan and Metal both are far more efficient, let you get more out of the hardware with less CPU time, and can more easily support newer features.

OpenGL as a major target platform is dying, it's just a question of how long the tail is.
the US was dominant in Cuba, Vietnam and the Philippines too -- for a while. the people in Cuba were so happy with US dominance that they staged a successful revolution. and US dominance ended up killing, directly or indirectly, a couple million people in Vietnam and Cambodia. even today chemicals left behind by US forces on military bases result in thousands of Vietnamese cancer deaths annually. and the Philippines loved our dominance so much that they decided in 1992 not to renew US naval base leases worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

as for South Korea, Japan and Germany, how much credit can the US really take for their success today? we did not quite wage a war of 100% total annihilation in the 1940s, but US-led allied forces did bomb Japan and Germany pretty heavily in Nagasaki, Hiroshima and Dresden. Japan didn't exactly love being a US occupied territory. that lasted less than ten years.

the people in Japan, Germany and South Korea worked their asses off to get the prosperity they have today. but, ok, sure, the US can take credit for the Marshall plan, and for opening domestic markets to exports from Japan and Germany, and for not stealing West German infrastructure and sending it back to the US (as the Soviets did to East Germany).

I'm not disparaging any branch of the service, nor diminishing their contributions across the many fronts of WWII.

I am saying that the Army wasn't organizationally crafted around or trained for amphibious assaults against defended beaches.

Those units that did were re-trained, co-mingled with Marine units, and typically under Marine command (e.g. what eventually became V Amphib).

Marine units were built for that mission (i.e. by integrating air assets at a lower level). Army units were not.

And I don't think anyone in service would argue you could transfer a unit to a different branch and expect everything to work normally. Military culture makes corporate culture look easy.

But my original point was that diversity breeds strength. Army perspective may succeed where Marine perspective fails, or vice versa.
I read "uninformed" instead of "uniformed" personnel and manager bureaucrat types. The meaning didn't change.
Almost every evening a couple of officers stand at the end of my street in Tokyo. There they can easily catch motorists making an illegal right turn. The rule exists only at certain times of day making it very hard for motorists to comply.

The police know this and just wait there like a bear fishing for spawning salmon.

It seems so pointless. If the right turn is really a problem then mark it in such a way as to make compliance obvious. If not, then just allow it and stop enforcement.

Infinity was originally the default (which feels intuitive), but here's the argument for changing it [0]:

"I think Array#flatten should be shallow by default because it makes sense to do less work by default, it aligns with existing APIs like the DOM Node#cloneNode which is shallow by default, and it would align with the existing ES3 pattern of using Array#concat for a shallow flatten. Shallow by default would also align with flatMap too."

You need an iPhone to set up a cellular Apple Watch Series 4. After that, you can leave the phone at home and:

- Send and receive phone calls and messages

- Navigate using turn by turn directions

- Use Siri

- listen to synced music playlists with bluetooth headphones

- track activity and heart rate

- look at pictures

This is not that different from an iPhone prior to iOS 5, when you needed a computer to set up and update an iPhone.

Is the Apple Watch innovative? I would argue yes, it’s an incredible piece of technology. Will it be as successful as the iPhone? I would guess, probably not.

Power curves are one reason lead isn't more used (they spike a fair bit). The other one to look at is how the tech itself scales, almost all batteries all catch fire easily due to the chemical processes. That becomes a bigger problem the more you pack them in and there has been more research in getting Lithium cells to not catch fire than lead acid lately.

> Do you think Apple's software quality has not improved over the years?

I think quality has actively declined.

As you know something of the quality of Safari, I'll limit myself to that. Safari over the past several years has made myriad design changes that I heavily disagree with (killing extensions, removing user control over website data, baffling UI decisions), but even though those changes have made my browsing experience worse they may not be objectively considered "software quality." Instead, I'll focus on stability and bugs.

When macOS Sierra launched, I had to deal with weekly lockups and reboots of the OS that I mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13159008. I tracked the issue down to Safari 10, which introduced new resource leaks that eventually brought the entire system down after being left open. Even after major releases of the browser eventually stopped forcing restarts, leaving Safari open for extended lengths of time will still cause not just instability and misbehavior in itself (e.g., popover arrows eventually disappearing), but also knock-on problems in completely separate applications, including greyed-out standard menu actions that return immediately once Safari is quit. This resource exhaustion is independent of the number of tabs, but handling of large numbers of tabs has also regressed: tabs now crash or unload regularly, and there is no easy built-in way to see which; this causes data loss and erroneous cookie manipulation when the tabs are reloaded when navigating back to them. Pages often do not add correctly to History, particularly from clicked or OpenSearch search results, with mismatched titles/URLs or entirely missing entries: to this day, searching Wikipedia with Quick Website Search gives a tab title that does not match the page or the history item, and interaction with the back/forward cache is likely to exacerbate this. Worse, pages often disappear entirely from autocompletion, causing mistaken page loads and spurious searches when expected results are missing. A couple of years ago, Safari stopped preventing the Mac from sleeping while a download was in progress, forcing me to copy URLs into Terminal to download with a caffeinated curl command instead to avoid truncated files. A recent release of Safari marked random unvisited links as visited, likely due to some newly introduced hash collision, and was not fixed for many months.

This is just what I can recall off the top of my head, in one limited aspect of a single application. All of these were newly introduced errors; some major, many persistent. I sometimes have call to use older versions of Safari, and while definitely slower and less compliant, in many respects they are remarkably better in terms of feature stability and experience.
The New Zealand police force are beholden to their benefactors, and thus need to focus their efforts on their goals rather than social ones. ACC being the largest contributor is the reason why they spend so much time on policing the road, and so little time on criminal behaviour.

That's not relevant. Apple is one of the worlds most valuable company, and they're stagnating. They've been hitting home-runs with products before, and creating new markets.

Watch, even if it ends up eating the whole current market, but not creating new one, is a failure by Apple standards. Unless Apple is going to branch out and become company like Samsung, that makes everything from watches, to nuclear power plants. Apple success story was never about big portfolio of products - they were always about few products, but extremely focused and creating whole new markets for them.

The whole app is already updated atomically. There is no benefit here.

> and that Apple can push out any updates world wide without waiting on the carriers

The same as a Pixel or Android One device. The only difference is that app security updates are artificially slower on iOS due to poor design, and for apps like browsers, this is a fatal flaw.
If that's .93% over last year, then it's negative after inflation.

So there may not be an expectation of exponential growth forever, but literally declining revenue vs inflation is a different conversation.

I feel like I’m missing something. Never used monorepo before but looking into it for our node code base. It seems like the combination of a monorepo and individually publishing the packages to a private npm server such as nexus eliminates many of these issues. One project can remain using an older version while another can use a breaking change. Pin your versions and follow semver and you should be fine. What am I missing here?

> Retailers are not infringing the patent

We normally think about manufacturers being the main infringement target, but the statute also refers to anyone who “makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells” (among other things).
You can’t coerce someone into a contract against their will, but you also can’t try to get the benefits of a contractual arrangement without agreeing to the contract. And agreement does not have to mean signing on a dotted line. For example, if you say “I’ll $100 for someone to clean my yard,” and someone comes and does it, the contract is binding (acceptance by performance).

In the Linked-In case here, someone didn’t just happen to involuntarily agree to the TOS by making an HTTP request. They agreed to the TOS as part of creating a new account. That’s an affirmative act, as part of a bargained-for exchange. It’s no more “coercive,” in substance or form, than the release I signed the other day to rent a jet ski. You want the benefit of access? Abide by the terms.

After having agreed to the terms, the Does violated them repeatedly on a mass scale. Again, this wasn’t accidental. The complaint lists a litany of ways where the scrapers clearly encountered technical barriers Linked In put in place, and used technical means to get around them.
I want this right now.

I use four monitors at work and two 4K monitors at home. A high-resolution VR setup gives you infinite workspace. Couple that with intelligent auto window management and you can forget moving windows around EVER again -- this is the ultimate mouseless experience that a tiling window manager can't even get close to.

This is a huge productivity gain. The micro context switches that stem from moving between windows and tabs (or worse, virtual desktops each with windows and tabs) goes away. Workspaces become spatial, and you can leverage your brain's innate spatial reasoning to find and organize things.

Physical project workspaces are laid out logically. We've been constrained to screens and haven't had the freedom of doing this for our virtual ones.
