> It does not provide any abstraction for re-use of reactive flows, which is essential to large-scale codes based on the paradigm (imagine coding without functions).

This is wrong. The "pipe()" operator allows you to reuse parts of an Observable flow in RxJS. For example the following function can be used in many different Observable flows:

import { pipe } from 'rxjs/operators';

function checkAuthPipe() {
return pipe(
doSomething(),
runAnotherPipe(),
map(out => out.isAuth)
)
}

This works great at scale too, as pipes can be composed from other pipes...

Good work with the library though, like the documentation and the concept behind the framework, we won't know if something's better until we try it.

I'd say more pragmatic than purely libertarian. :)

You still need a regulatory framework, and I would strongly argue for compulsory education on drug use, not to mention treatment programs, all of which should be funded through use taxes.

Otherwise, though, I agree very much with the libertarians that that empowering individuals to make their own life-choices is far more beneficial to society than criminalization and prohibition.
The argument from the parent about using a laptop is "orders of magnitude" less safe than using a iOS or android device is just not true. It depends what you're running on each device.

I don't know why you keep arguing this. You said that motorcycle helmets are "never" to be worn by bicyclists. I point out that there is not just one but -several- different companies cross-marketing DOT-approved motorcycle helmets for bicycle sports. Now you are talking about the "average" bike rider. I think you just have a narrow, inaccurate conception of the universe of all cycle sports and you've probably never been anywhere near a motorcycle. Look at these BMX kids, then look at the motocross kids.

When someone is flung from a car, I'm not really worried about the damage they will do.

And if you're in flinging territory, the cell phone is a rounding error compared to the windshield, and a lot more blunt too.

Yeah that sounds terrible. It would be much better to detect saccades and/or blinks.
I think that ship has pretty much sailed, but in either case that has nothing to do with Firefox's decision. If they wanted to use Google, for whatever reason, they could do so while supporting user privacy by piping it through e.g. Startpage.

"Reverse racism" is often worth an eye-roll in the same way rich people complaining about anti-wealth discrimination is, but not because the phenomena can't be real or even genuinely threatening on occasion. Because while no privilege makes you invulnerable, some burdens are chronic/systemic. Situational racism is different in degree than systemic racism.

Binary gender roles are a bit different IMO. Without making a judgment about who has it "worse," it's probably fair to say that there are systemic privileges and burdens members of each experience. Misandry might be one way of referring to one side of one side of that.

Eh, not true in my experience. Especially not the getting worse every year part. Things mostly still get better over time - now you can get CarPlay instead of the shitty builtin infotainment systems, and even those get more usable. Smart TVs work a lot better than they used to.

What I’ve noticed is there are still industries that don’t use a lot of computers yet and every once in a while the entire industry all at once decides “we need to force computers on everyone now”. And they do this way ahead of putting any thought into user experience so it usually sucks and you end up dealing with new sources of shitty computer interfaces sometimes I.e. smart TVs. But they do generally seem to get gradually better from there.

This doesn't seem to be doing downloading in a streaming manner, as indicated by its use of my old "file-saver"[1] library. Edit: Originally thought this also did encryption without streaming.

Nowadays I would recommend using Penumbra[2] (another library I've worked on) with StreamSaver.js for streaming file encryption/decryption/downloading.

For the record, as one of the developers on the Rust project: we consider that kind of over-the-top evangelism counterproductive and unwelcome.

Even if you want people to use more Rust, that kind of aggressive evangelism doesn't serve you well, and people find it off-putting.

I’m a fan of Ford trucks myself, drive a F150 for off-roading. Tacoma and Jeep Wrangler out here in CO are extremely popular and have great reputations. The build quality on Ford stuff is fine. I think the recommendation for Ranger is solid, but I am not sure if it is better. If you are really serious about off-roading full sized trucks are not ideal (too wide/long).
I think when you give people the facts and remove the stigma and the "mystery" surrounding drugs, you will get people to start making wise choices - to counteract it you need a sound education policy, not the fear-mongering that goes in the name of education now.
Just what we need, another startup injecting themselves into our lives. And then for the right price, "acceptable robocalls" can be Verified by Twilio™!

SHAKEN/STIR[1] is a much more network-agnostic solution to the same problem, using essentially the same, well-established technology used by internet certificate authorities. As such, it has all the same basic problems that CAs do, but it's a hell of a lot better than tightly coupling yourself to Twilio.

Except they have control of the phone and can intercept text and email alerts, if not with these exact vulnerabilities, it doesn't seem far fetched. And getting funds returned takes time while bills still have to be paid.

These folks may not want money, but the phone is vulnerable and the next set of folks may. Do you really think the crooks who commit identity theft and ransomware attacks aren't salivating at these attacks?
I’m an optimist that it’s possible. There are systems that are private but for legitimate government requirements with sensible public oversight. Maybe not in your jurisdiction, that would vary more than just about anything.
I thought the device wakes up from Doze regularly, and then you can poll for the notifications. The SDK docs sound this way too: "While the device is in Doze, apps' access to certain battery-intensive resources is deferred until maintenance windows"

But it seems these maintenance windows aren't frequent enough (every 15 minutes?) for some apps.

Modern smartphones UI do not use tooltips. Explore the app by touching it. Give option to revert the action.

It is an effective way also to learn an app - by doing, not reading.

If you need tooltip or guides like those, your UI has other serious issues.
In my experience Siri over CarPlay is significantly more reliable (in that it understands me better over road noise) than Siri over Bluetooth audio (in both cases using the mic/speakers built into the car). FWIW phone calls also sound clearer when plugged in via USB. I’m guessing it’s because of poor audio quality for voice over Bluetooth in at least the cars I tried.
When you run any given application on your laptop, it's normally run in such a way that it has all of your user's priveleges on the system; that is, it can access all files that you can access, it can look at the screen that you're looking at, it can produce any input that you can produce, it can manipulate the memory of any process that you can manipulate.

When you run an application on iOS or Android, it doesn't have those capabilities. It can only get them through security exploits. In theory it should be similar to looking at a web page. If a web page is able to read arbitrary files, that's obviously a bug in the system. If an application on your laptop is able to read arbitrary files, that's standard functionality.

Right now the hyper-sensitive, take everything way too seriously, you are either with us or against us zealots are speaking for everyone who considers themselves progressive. It will wane eventually, just like the satanic panic of the 80s. And I say this as a person who considers them self a feminist and hyper progressive.

That being said: I don't like Joe Rogan giving a platform to Alex Jones. I think that man is reprehensible. He is a tragedy exploiting ghoul. He whipped up a fervor around the "sandy hook is a false flag" conspiracy theory, harassed the families of the survivors, and laugh his way all the way to the bank while doing it. Alex Jones is a bad person and has done bad things.

I don't want to be uncivil and call you a liar, but can you explain why what you are saying about the ad replacement is true?

Brendan Eich has repeatedly said that they do not replace ads: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20831627

For what it's worth, I find Brendan's position on homosexuality to be on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side of faithfulness (I do not intend to put words in his mouth, but this comment feels like a strong acceptance that he has feelings or opinions about gay people that are hard to rationally, and intelligently defend) [0]

I want to make it clear I have no stake in protecting Brendan or Brave (I work for an analytics company!), but parroting bullshit you heard, or misrepresenting a company that affects your business is not taking the high ground even when the thing you are shitting on is led by a person whose position many people find despicable.

It's funny you say that, because last time I had a rental with Android Auto it would not let me even start it without allowing access to my contacts and other details. I ended up not using it because of that.

The normal car bluetooth systems on the other hand don't mind if you don't give them access to things, and you can restrict it to music and calls only.

I guess I see it differently and I wish I could find the post I was referring to. I think that the current versions of the laws, which are different than many of the original laws that hit the first few states, are a direct result of Apple's lobbying. I don't think it's an accident that the proposed laws have sections that almost mirror the document in that link as far as what's required. If the date on that article is accurate too, then that plan from Apple actually pre-dates a lot of the right to repair legislation.

Check out the HotOS'19 paper from our lab :) https://danyangzhuo.com/papers/HotOS19-Stone.pdf
Things turned out well this time.

The last Gcc bug I submitted was a regression that made my program take fully twice as long to run. For that case, they decided making it slow was the correct choice. (Anyway it matched Clang afterward. :-)

The program's main loop, where it had spent 90+% of its time, was just four instructions, which Haswell and later can do in one cycle per iteration, provided the instructions are presented right. Occasionally, it would encounter something that would take 50+ cycles to deal with, and then continue looping. The regression was that it re-arranged the instructions to save a cycle on the slow path and add a cycle to the fast path, so it now takes two cycles per iteration instead of one.
I absolutely love my Tacoma. It's a 2009 4dr TRD Sport with 164,000 miles. I have no desire to 'upgrade' to something newer. My only regret is getting the short bed, I sleep in the back a few times a year and it'd be nice to not need to sleep in the diagonal.

It sounds like you're avoiding some of the benefits that emacs brings. Helm was one of the biggest additions for me. I also love that every action is a function that can be called, and that you can make your own functions. I often hit `SPC SPC` and then run commands from helm. I've even used its fuzzy-finding search to find functions I wasn't sure existed. It's a real joy for me.

I do use `:e` and `:w` pretty often, so I'm grateful those work. I suppose I would've felt very differently if I'd ran into issues with them early on. I don't actually use `:q` from spacemacs since with emacs you often leave open all your visited files. If I do want to get rid of something, I tend to do `SPC b d` for buffer delete.

Hmmm. How many of these are franchise-related?

"Some of these businesses are small diners or independent grocery stores; others are franchisees that own a handful of stores affiliated with a recognizable brand. (For instance, over 80% of McDonald’s locations are owned by franchisees.) In either case, the profits and executive pay at the country’s largest businesses have nothing to do with the stark economics these small-business owners face: single-digit profit margins."

If over 80% of McDonald's locations are owned by franchisees, then it's likely that MANY of these are franchise-related (also, profits and executive pay at McDonald's would certainly have something to do with the related economics of franchise fees and the back-end of the supply chain).

Crazy that the Implant was never detected directly on a phone. It's certainly visible to iOS itself, but apparently iOS isn't looking for unexpected processes running on the phone. As well, the Implant is sending network traffic that no one ever noticed or never tracked down. And presumably it has some affect on battery life. But all of this just disappears into the noise of everything else going on on an iPhone.

I wonder if the Implant ever showed up in any of the crash reports collected by iOS and uploaded to Apple.

> CarPlay as a requirement

Why don't you loose your requirement to just 2DIN space to install your favourite Car Play compatible gadget into?
In this case, there was a limit to the number of times the essay could be submitted, and there was a required score that needed to be obtained within that limit, otherwise the grade would go down. The limit was something like 20 tries, and when I got there they’d already used maybe 14 of them.

I could perhaps see value in having unlimited tries, as a teaching aid, if the result wasn’t being used for grading. That would at least leave room for curiosity and exploration. And, more importantly, I could see value if the software wasn’t essentially a scam that fundamentally is not able do what is advertised. If the software really could grade essays reliably, and provide meaningful suggestions for improvement, then maybe it could be used to help educate students, in conjunction with the teacher’s guidance. But the software does not grade reliably, and it absolutely does not offer meaningful constructive feedback, and the teachers were using it to avoid reading essays, not to supplement their own expertise.

One of the several amusing ironies here is how the software company has convinced the state and teachers to willingly replace themselves with bots, despite obvious evidence that the humans can do the job better.
