Thanks a lot. I think regarding the IP it's very messy and questionable who owns how much, because he may have paid for the development, but it was based on by sketches & app flow, and I've contributed to the development with a lot of testing & design stuff. Even if he wanted to take his chances, Jim would be in a worse position than me since it would be pretty unclear what I'm entitled to & that could be toxic for investors or in case he wanted to sell it right away.

We have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow, I'd stand my ground as you've and others suggested and we'll see what happens. If it gets really messy maybe I'd think about bringing on a lawyer, but it would have to be certain that I'm not going to lose money because of that since lawyers... well, aren't cheap
same background, but different advice: pick a problem you have and build a website that solves it. start with a trivial problem, then start adding javascript.

Vexing Exceptions
You should be able to pull down on any page of the home screen to bring up the app search screen, rather than having to swipe all the way to the left.

You can now also long press the wifi icon (twice) from the control centre in iOS 13 to quickly switch wifi networks without going into the settings app, you can also do the same with the bluetooth icon.

A lot of this stuff is really hard to just discover though if you're not already aware it exists to begin with.
CNBC’s Interview with Ashton Kutcher and WeWork CEO Adam Neumann
If you don't mind, a question: do you believe in reincarnation?

That's always seemed like a barrier to consciously 'accepting' Zen, the way one might accept Confucianism or utilitarianism or any other moral philosophy.
Even if one counts Ireland as “not English” there’s at least also Moldova that uses Romanian I believe.
That is true. They are quite a different beast than HTML5 though. Not much left to code yourself there.

It’s the difference between using Canvas, and writing Canvas.
Fantastic news. I haven't done anything too serious with Nim, but I did find for the code I did write in it, that its extremely intuitive and easy to get going. It also has all the features I could ask for in a language and it never feels like you need to work around a limitation. Of course that's the initial impression, I haven't used it as much as languages that have batteries included for the specific tasks I do (most of the programming I actually do these days is around data analysis, economic forecasting, so R is pretty hard to beat).

I don't think there's anything wrong with DoT, but DoH is deliberately more difficult to block, which is a sensible design goal for a privacy and anti-censorship protocol. Both are better than directly using legacy plaintext DNS.
Empty suit
Start small! Boil some rice, make a protein salad (eggs, chicken + olives + lettuce etc), scramble a few eggs. Good luck to you.
Well Crystal is newer than Nim and gives me even more of a "what is the unique advantage of this language" feeling. As to the specific point, Crystal may be nil safe but union types have many of the same problems as unchecked null (particularly when used with generics). Nim has compiler-enforced not-nil types plus true sum types (and therefore an option type), which make it possible to program in a completely safe way - though I'm not sure how well the standard library supports that approach; I would certainly prefer a language that didn't have null at all, as OCaml does.
> I... but... how in the world is anyone ever supposed to know that exists???

Apple products have been like this for ages. I.e., they present a "simple" interface for the "typical" user, and then they provide "advanced" features for the "power user" that are only accessible via keyboard shortcuts, or what have you. (E.g., doing a screenshot on MacOS is via Command-$.)

Their success in achieving the right balance, however, has been quite mixed IMHO.

How do you find out about the "advanced" features? Via Google or Stack Exchange or reading a book or guide, I suppose.
For a long time, there were multiple newspapers in each city. They would love to catch each other in mistakes. If one paper wouldn't publish criticism, the others would.

These weren't just yellow-journalism tabloids, but two or even three genuine competing reporting organizations. They fought to be the first to publish, but couldn't afford to simply publish falsehoods, or fail to admit mistakes.

Not that they were paragons of honor all the time. They're humans. But it did set up a pattern of keeping each other honest, which they maintained to a large degree after they could no longer sustain multiple papers. That has diminished substantially as they're competing against Internet-style "move fast, break things, nobody cares what you wrote yesterday" publishing (and before that, 24 hour TV that wants to present a constant crisis so that you must never turn it off).

So there was less "suppressing public criticism" than you seem to be implying. It happened, to be sure, but it was very different from the current self-swallowing echo chambers you get today -- at least among the major newspapers. Modern journalism, even the comparatively mainstream stuff, has a lot more in common with those yellow journalism tabloids.
Exactly. Which is the "hard way". We need to win this with technology and, where technology alone isn't enough, with government action to curtail emissions. We aren't going to get lucky and run out of oil.
Thank you, sir, for your honesty. While mother tongue is surely a big part of a person's identity, any language is also just a means to an end. Some linguistics suggest that entire peoples have switched languages in the past in just a few generations for the utility and convenience. Kalevi Wiik for instance.

Not being an avid learner of languages, I have personally always liked the idea of an universal language. English seems to be closest to the spot at the moment. It seems that Esperanto has its most avid supporters in China these days, because they would like the luxury of having to learn just one western language.

Still, every language is also a cultural artifact the loss of which would be a bummer. Today we cannot read the writing of Rapa-Nui, the Easter Island, which is sad.

The recently deceased Finnish writer Matti Mäkelä once talked about the idea of two languages: the language of the heart and the language of trade. The former you speak to express the deepest thoughts and the latter to make deals with all of the people in the world.

Maybe sometimes in the far-away future we will all speak two languages, the heart-language and the trade-language. I don't care if the latter is English or Chinese or anything else as it's just about trade and utility. For poetry and confessing my love I have another language.

>I would never teach kids to make fun of others. It's simply bad form.

You were clearly trying to accuse Sesame Street of making political propaganda against the current President Donald Trump, now you're packpedaling, because I'm guessing you never bothered to fact check. There is no clip in that video more recent than 2005, certainly no "second or two" of anything during his presidency thus far. According to every site I checked, including the Muppet Wiki, there is no Trump parody on Sesame Street more recent than 2004-2005.

Quit your bullshit.
> WeWork's business model is convincing investors they are a tech company with a dozens-of-billions valuation

That's their recruiting model too. These cults have people married to them their whole career and don't even know they are a laughing stock. They have conversations with their friends like "well joining a tech company has been very different from my old cubicle farm!"
I'm afraid your comments have been repeatedly breaking the site guidelines. Would you please look them over and stick to the rules when posting to HN? We'd be grateful.

The "no meat" policy is what did it for me. The company is such a virtue-signaling joke.

This was loosened in June 2017. Now apps can can download and run any interpreted code, using any interpreter. It’s not restricted to coding apps or user-written code.

In the developer agreement, the second paragraph of section 3.3.2 gives special permission to programming environments, but that’s for executable code, which won’t work on iOS anyway.
It's not even that new. A professor was using a much earlier version of this same tech to steer his boat in the 90's. It was very easy to read left and right signals to control a rudder as a prototype.

There have been commercialized versions of this tech already. The Myo was Kickstarted in 2015 and then acquired by CTRL-Labs. I have one and that generation of the tech was still tricky to use effectively.

House launches Trump impeachment inquiry
No. The S&P 500 is selected by committe. And it's 6.1bn, not 8.1bn. Mabye that's the plan for the Russell 3000, though.

But it doesn't really matter except when the stock gets added to the index. The index funds and ETFs are going to rebalance their positions based on market cap and will not affect the price. These funds could affect the volatility though, since it's conceivable that with a lot of the shares locked up, these stocks are going to be more thinly traded than they would have otherwise been. This could create price instability, though I'm not sure there's any proof that it's true.
I don’t know. At 19 I was at the university doing my first year and already earning £18K/year freelancing as a software engineer.

So frankly there are many people who can start their own companies, but there’s a lot to learn in terms of actually working with people and choosing the right ones to build a company with, too.

The fact that their party can’t be fair regarding their share is already a huge-huge red flag. Many supposedly greedy people I know wouldn’t do that simply because they have respect for the capitalism (or in other words - they know perfectly well that their words are no longer enforceable).
I was curious so I looked up how much of Harvard's endowment is disbursed every year.

In 2016, $1.6 billion was disbursed for university operations.

http://www.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/content/20160401_...

"Using conventional financial reporting standards, 84 percent, or $31 billion, of the $37.6 billion
in the endowment is restricted by the terms of original gifts."

"Of the endowment that is restricted, the leading restrictions include (1) support for professorships
and faculty salaries (32 percent), (2) financial aid (21 percent), (3) support for teaching and
research programs (8 percent), (4) program initiatives (e.g., cross-faculty programs, global and
international programs, and women’s studies) (5 percent), (5) support for libraries and museums
(4 percent), and (6) maintenance of the physical plant (1 percent)."

I know there may be uneven annual funding levels due to when a gift was given, but as an estimate 84% * 8% = 6.7% of disbursements are restricted to teaching and research. That's about $0.11 billion dollars in 2016.

In comparison, Harvard received $1.08 billion in research funding from the federal government in 2016.

https://ncsesdata.nsf.gov/profiles/site?method=rankingbysour...

So federal sources of money for research dwarf the disbursements from the endowment.

If Harvard's endowment were to begin dwindling, I am not sure what would be cut first of the 16% that is not restricted by donor intent, but levels of research funding would appear to be mostly intact.
Only 0.19% of opiate-treated chronic pain patients without a prior history develop any form of abuse or addiction[1]. And remember these are chronic-pain patients who take tolerance-escalating doses over years or even decades. Virtually no one develops an opiate addiction from following their medically prescribed treatment regiment.

Yeah exactly. Solving the ills of social media (whatever one thinks they may be) requires more than a build-it-and-they-will-come attitude.

Where I live, the primary goal of blocking vehicle traffic from cutting through is to protect "neighborhood greenways" from getting inundated with car traffic. These are specially designated bike routes on neighborhood streets that are some of the best, low stress, popular pieces of bike infrastructure I've ever used.

So here, at least, these efforts are a terrible way to keep riff raff out, as they make your street far too attractive to riff raff using non-motorized transportation.
The famous Dropbox comment?

HN is overly skeptical of startups that take something possible and simplify the UX. Although I can't think of a recent example.
Yes hospitality and they're pretty good at it as far as I cam tell.
And it’s still true 15 years later. They still haven’t been able to decouple IE for all the random crap that uses it. They’ve shoved the user facing interface into a dark corner hoping everyone forgets about it but it’s still there.
Note that it says "interactive software application" not "website", though it's possible on a website using a single page application and preloaded resources. Any time you're fetching a resource from some external source, it's unreasonable to expect it to load in under 64ms.

I assume the intention isn't speed alone, but part of the user experience. When you interact with an application, you should be able to tell immediately that it's recognized your input and something is happening.
because far too many in the political arena needed the crisis and as such had little real interest in solving it. it served both as a source of funds for campaigns and family as well as a means to keep opponents at a distance for fear of being branded. so simply working the selected voters gives them a solid base, one they can turn out for any affront, and one which will accept being told who the bogeyman is as long as it means never having to look in the mirror.

it is the same reason a school shooting, usually in predominantly suburban non minority areas whereas many more than that die in cities weekly.

political power is all about using problems for gain, not solving problems. while it can work in outlying areas it does not have the quick payback the city machine can. go look at the social interest groups, the community coordinator type jobs, and you will see friends and family if not down on their luck politicians who know which team to be on.
I wonder if the x86 dominance has declined slightly since 2015 - I know the #1 supercomputer is currently a POWER machine, and there have been some Chinese supercomputers that use their own manycore cpus with what I think is a MIPS-inspired ISA

> Or even better, the classic SO “What are you actually trying to do?” non-answer!

I've never contributed anything to SO, but this is one of the most valuable answers they could give.

Worst case, the people helping you can better understand the context around what you're trying to accomplish. Best case they recognize that there's a much easier way to do what you're trying to do, when you're too busy bashing your head against the wall on the particular implementation that you chose.

So often when people get stuck, it's because they were shaving a Great Brown yak.

But the Great Brown Yak can only be shaved with a razor from Bhutan. So they go to get the Bhutaneese razor but first they need to prove their worth by climbing the nearby mountain.

In order to climb that mountain they need the best climbing gear in the world, which is only available from a small shop in Honduras.

To get to Honduras from Bhutan they need their passport, but they lost the page with their photo on it.

Since they can't get back to their home country they need to get a passport photo some other way.

So they go to Stack Overflow and beg for someone to help them forge a passport photo.

SO asks what they're trying to accomplish, and they mention they need some Yak fur, and it needs to be brown.

SO suggests that they shave the Minor Brown Yak which can be shaved with an off the shelf Gillette but produces indistinguishable brown Yak fur, and could be done in five minutes.
Do they negative parody others? Are any of the other parodies related to trash? Serious question.
idk. Global oil consumption has been steadily ramping up 1-2%/year with little regard to renewables or climate crisis.

The increasing penetration of renewables is dwarfed by increased population + raising living standards.
Here is one of the actual studies, which is much less annoying to read: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6234325/?mod=ar...

I was particularly interested in the participant selection section; they did go to an effort to select male and female participants with similar gaming habits. However, this doesn't mean that the only explanation for the different "craving" response is a fundamental difference between men and women. Just because you end up with a similar population with similar habits, doesn't mean that the path those individuals traveled to get there is the same.

As an example of how the observed differences could still be due to nurture rather than nature, suppose that across all young boys and girls, there is a subset of people that are predisposed to addiction. Also suppose that in many cases, an addiction can begin the first time you're exposed to something. Even if both boys and girls were equally predisposed to become addicted to both video games and social media, they would not be equally likely to be exposed to those two addictive digital activities. It would be more likely that a boy's friends would introduce him to video games, and that a girl's friends would introduce her to social media. Once they are addicted to one or the other, they will spend more time on that activity, and will be unlikely to explore the opposite.

Eventually, these hypothetical boys and girls grow up, and our hypothetical scientists select participants for their version of this fMRI experiment. They do a good job selecting male and female participants who play games for similar numbers of hours, but the potential female video game addicts in this universe are much less likely to ever start playing games, before getting addicted to something else. Since these hypothetical people have selected themselves out of this hypothetical study, they discover a difference in fMRI responses to images of video games that's correlated with gender, but still 100% caused by existing gender roles and stereotypes.
Ah reminds me of the famous leak on Oil Production here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contents_of_the_United_State...
what are the other companies you'll never work for?
Exotic in the sense that pretty much all gear that is polling 1000Hz nowadays is gaming gear. I never implied it was unattainable - I have a 240Hz monitor, G903, and still use the ps/2 port and the games. However I wouldn't doubt the fact that my 240Hz monitor is exotic.

As for touch screen technology, the Apple Pro Pen I believe is only 20ms and is state of the art. While I do believe that developer ux has contributed to lazy resource management, it's also clear that sub-60hz latency has regularly required exotic hardware.
Careful, dang has to get every joke for it to be allowed on HN...
This is like the people who say they can say what they want because of free speech.

If you're able to justify something because of a technicality and are intentionally ignoring the ethics of the situation and what is clearly right/wrong... well, that's not a good look.
I am curious about Prisma2 because I tried to build a server side API with v1 as a novice to graph systems and it became an unwieldy nightmare. Partially my fault for wanting to do it without the SaaS they provide but trying to build with something complicated and Apollo on the frontend with a skilled FE dev got me so confused I put it off.
This is interesting. I read a book back in 2009 called
"The Coming Economic Collapse: How You Can Thrive When Oil Costs $200 a Barrel" by Stephen Leeb, Ph.D (2007) [1]

The title is total trash, and it seemed alarmist but IIRC the premise of the entire book is basically what you describe, at least in my very pedestrian understanding of energy / petroleum markets.

Are you familiar with this title, or the author? Your post makes me want to pull it out for a re-read.

edit: maybe not. really spotty reviews. [2]

This is true and I can relate. College break down barriers even if it’s just partial and just for a short period of time. This does wonders. And not all legacies are lackey failures, many work quite hard and actively hide the fact they’re legacy. This make sense, so long as you raise your kids well, there’s no reason they should be entitled, they may even inherit your work ethic and intelligence.
Real estate companies also need data science since they heavily rely on data for making decisions.
Yeah I love this attitude. You know you're doing something that is unethical but you ignore that because you got 'em on a technicality.

Congrats.
The national standard languages in Europe all have an associated dialect continuum that they were picked from. The standard varieties tend to overshadow other parts of the spectrum, but if Switzerland or Austria decided to abandon Standard German for a standardized form of Alemannic resp. Bavarian as the national language, those would stand as separate languages in their own right. They even have ISO 639-3 codes assigned already.

For an attempt at mapping not just standard languages, but also dialects that could be considered independent languages, see https://www.deviantart.com/totentanz0/art/Languages-of-Europ...
