You may not have read that far down, but the article mentions exactly what you did regarding Fossil:

> Fitbit would not be the first deal that Google would be carrying out in the wearables space. Fossil Group Inc said in January it would sell its intellectual property related to smartwatch technology under development to Google for $40 million. Google’s plans for these assets are not clear.
If you've got a paper record, just use that instead of the machines.

Machines just add more opportunities for fraud.
With two simple rules you could clear up so much absurdity in the criminal justice system and in the public perception of the law:

I order pizzas on-line quite frequently, and to me it has very little to do with talking to other people. The main draw of on-line ordering is that I can pay on-line. I don't usually carry enough spare change in small enough coins and bills to be able to pay for a pizza on delivery without an extra trip to the ATM and then a shop (to exchange bills for smaller denominations).
Meh, Brooks stopped suffering ... the moment he took his own life. Thanks for the guilty chuckle and the Shawshank ref.
Perhaps the impulse is cruel but for me, the fact that humans can't remember IPv6 addresses is a selling point. It forces people into what I believe are better practices (indirection through dns, using tagging in firewalls and load balancers, auto-assigning IPs, copy-pasting addresses in the cases where they're actually needed).
> Think Twice Before Open-Sourcing

I think it is a problem that it is very hard to monetize open source infrastructure libraries. In the past, you could try to do consulting or else offer paid hosting. Now with the cloud providers doing "zero management" hosting of open source libraries, both those avenues have been seriously curtailed.

Honestly, it seems like if you are the primary author of a popular open source library, your best bet is try to leverage that notoriety into getting hired by one of the cloud companies, and try to work on the open source library as a side project. Trying to use that open source library to support yourself any other way, seems destined for penury and misery.
So you don't have a second revelation: there's also hover text, but only for the past couple years, whereas there's a red button image on almost every comic (for 17 years).

What BitFinex is doing is literally illegal.

No bank on the planet (even Deutsche Bank) will have any direct/legitimate ties with BitFinex. No legitimate corporation will hold $4Bn in cash (if BitFinex even had it -- which they don't). Any illegitimate person you hand $4Bn to would just run off with it (which is what BitFinex did by now with any "real" cash given to them).

The founders of BitFinex have a long and lengthy history of fraud, posting online about how they plan to use their exchange illegally (for wash-trading), ripping off their customers, and also just being general scumbags.

People can take whatever opinion they want on Bitcoin. But Tether is 100% certifiably bullshit.

It's worth noting that shorting Crypto is pretty dangerous, so long as Tether is around. BitFinex can in theory (and almost certainly has in reality) minted billions of Tethers to inflate the value of Crypto assets. Ironically, the founder of BitFinex posted about the need for some reserve-bank (which Nakomoto famously harped about in the Bitcoin Genesis block).
That was one of my motivations to try IPv6 at home, only to quickly get disappointed because my ISP gives me a new prefix change very often (in stark contrast to my IPv4 address for some reason).
So you're referring to a few particular avenues in one neighborhood during rush hour.

I'm just pointing out that that's hardly indicative of the overall speed of traffic across Manhattan at all times. Vehicles go fast on the avenues when they can, definitely faster than you would want to try to keep up with on a bike.

FOSS already has the largest competitive advantage - it is literally free and accessible to anyone who has access to a computer.

That paid solutions still manage to trump many FOSS programs tells me that people value their time more than their money, and FOSS developers ought to work to develop software that takes a lot less time to do things with.
Not sure how helpful that data would be, considering you'd get groupings like Aaron/Erin, which are very gender-aligned names.

That just means they add bicycle setbacks in an attempt to scare drivers. It doesn't solve the problem when people are routinely allowed to drive without demonstrating an understanding of how a traffic light is supposed to be interpreted.
I developed a chest/heartbeat reflex with my chest muscles after some intense anxiety/panic times. It made my heartbeat painful and very noticeable.

I had to do a lot of exposure and conscious challenging of the reflex in order to remove the anxiety connected to the reflex. I had to show my body my heart wouldn't stop if I played around with my chest muscles.

I still am working on this, but I am much better.

I am impressed with how much my body went along with my initial impression that my heart was at risk, developing this very strong defensive reaction!
Good. Let them see if the quantum AI powerbots of Google can fix the sync issues.
Wait, so this also means the sale value of these cars has increased too?
GraphQL Interactive Landscape Launched
Tcl is a Lisp with bash-like syntax and features.

I have a strange test for languages - I tried some of them being drunk (a litre of some nice tripel). This test tests how effective can you be with diminished higher-order thinking, or, in other words, how much of your mental ability each tested language takes from you.

Tcl has immutable proc arguments - if you pass somewhere a value you can be sure the value at caller's site stays the same. It happened that this means a lot and one can (semi)successfully program in Tcl while being drunk.

Every language where arguments' values modification is visible to the caller is much worse in that regard, these are C, C++, C#, Java, Python and Perl (and many more). Aother bad feature is a null pointer - Per is better here.

Tcl does not have modifiable argument values except you are really want them (upvar and uplevel). It also has multivalue assignment in the form of "foreach {resultpart1 resultpart2} [procedure arg1 arg2] break" (or you can invent your own mutivalue assignment procedure). This makes building composable libraries quite easy.
If you walk when you have been assigned to walk, your risk of an accident goes down. Please do not wave your faux high ground around like an argument.
The site is using a webfont "protection" technique that was mentioned in a comment here a couple months ago, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20708371. It's a terrible idea.
Germany's stance on voting machines is not in a small part due to the history of the CCC and their expertise. Without the CCC it might be much different, but they recognized and spoke about the risks years ago.
I have been hearing this end-of-the-IPv4 world chatter for 10+ years now. While I understand it is a real problem, I wonder if we’ll still be talking about it in the present tense 10 years from now.
In the Netherlands the bike lanes are usually separated from the car lanes, so you'd have car lane - car parking - bike line - sidewalk. Much safer and also prevents people parking on the bike lane.
Make it simple with a 5% tax on any new bike purchased in the city. Call it the “bike lane preservation fund”.

The bad guys aren't going to be using the great majority of practical cases.
Noise cancelling cancels out white noise - not people's conversations.

Also - the "transparency" mode is quite common feature of noise cancelling headphones. All of the Bose NCs have had this for years. When you seal off the ear to provide NC you need to be able to hear yourself when youre on a phone call. So its more a necessity than a "nice to have".
I suppose as other people have pointed out in the thread, the first step is figuring out how much of the shortfall is actually real.

But yeah, ultimately the solution would have to be something along the lines of the things you mention. Of course, you don't necessarily have to automate healthcare: if you automate something else, it could also free people to then move to healthcare.
Can you easily get a free /24 from AFRINIC?

What kind of presence do you need? I will soon have to do a small CDN with a POP in ZA. I might as well get the IPv4 from AFRINIC if they have plenty.
Non-memorability is an annoying problem for IPv6.

The IP internet seems to depend on some degree of manual configuration, which requires identifying numerical IP addresses.

It's puzzling that the IETF hasn't recommended a human-memorable, word-based scheme for prefixes, something like what3words for IPv6.
More controversially, post/parcel delivery could likely benefit from being a single company IF run properly, big if, I know.

Seeing that all of the problems with the US postal service are caused by government interference, that isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

The postal service wanted to cut delivery days to save money - but Congress wouldn't let it. Congress also forced the USPS to fund retirement pensions in excess of any private or government organization.
agreed. i think the only right answer here is to just ban them all especially if its not a significant source of revenue.

Using large geographic/national boundaries to generalize ideological categories is of course inherently erroneous to a degree; it's like the Zen Buddhist teaching of "a finger pointing at the moon". You seem to be getting hung up on the finger.

The article specifically states they didn't implement CRDTs because they can do it more efficiently with a trusted server.
This is being overly literal with the meaning.

Yes, of course, NYC and Omaha need a different model when it comes to implementation.

What’s shared is the public/political will to challenge the status quo.

Pointing out the differences that you are isn’t terribly insightful. Anyone with solid algebra and geometry skills can see the variables involved and shape of the problem are different.
Ok, so an "amplitude" is just like a PDF, only that it can also take on negative values and that adding "amplitudes" is a meaningful operation?
I have always wondered what people mean by "Chinese ideals". As a Chinese person myself, all 4 of your options are things that I oppose. I find myself consistently on the side of individuality, privacy, free speech, and self defense, when arguing against Americans that disagree. In fact I'm doing that right now in another thread in the process of defending yet another undefendable scoundrel, Facebook.

Do you actually have something concrete in mind here, or have you instead considered that this is merely an example of calling the enemy tribe every bad name you can think of?
Where are you getting the idea that (one-shot) delimited continuations (stackful) "don't have the same performance characteristics" as stackless continuations, especially in a language with a JIT like JS? Also, "stackless coroutines without async/await" would give you (stackful) delimited continuations (albeit not multi-prompt). The reason Rust needs stackless coroutines is because of its commitment to "zero-cost abstractions" and high accidental complexity (and partly because it runs on top of a VM it doesn't fully control); surely JS has a different philosophy -- and it also compiles to machine code, not to a VM -- so whatever justification JS has for async/await, it is not the same one as Rust.

As to semantic differences, what is the difference between `await asyncFoo()` and `syncFoo()`?

BTW, I also like extra verbosity and type checking, so in the language I'm designing I'm forcing every subroutine to be annotated with `async` and every call to be annotated with `await` -- enforced by the type checker, of course -- because there is simply no semantic difference in existence that allows one to differentiate between subroutines that need it and those that don't, so I figured it would be both clearest to users and most correct to just do it always.
I can see that as possible, and I can also see how it might very negatively impact a documentation drive on accident. One of those things that sounds good, and could be beneficial, but when enacted without strong guidance just ends up combining with culture or human nature to make things worse. E.g. a rule that says there must be documentation, but without standards and enough review to make sure that it's good documentation. Stats show things getting better, but that's because we always drift towards optimizing what we measure, which is not always the same what we actually want.
Well, more like if we make privacy illegal than the enterprises providing privacy will necessarily be criminal.

This was all about 10 years ago and it definitely lifted some of the trends with interviewing at places like Microsoft, Google, etc. There were 3 areas; technical, personality, and critical thinking. The criticism I noticed from interviewees grew further down that list. The job involved user support, which was the personality portion (it wasn't just "team fit"). Critical thinking had some of those abstract, problem solving questions tech companies were notorious for, but also had a mix of actual issues encountered.

Here's my defense for the critical thinking questions since I know it's a contentious topic here; I'm evaluating how they asses and troubleshoot something. Often, actual technical problems get caught up in the minutia or domain specific parts. So abstracting it and even removing all of the tech keeps people from getting hung up on that. I hate "trick" questions, but sometimes would ask one to see if they were thinking towards optimization or non-traditional. It's actually deflating if they already know the answer. I never cared if they got a result, I'd often move on if it took too long.

I felt the most criticism towards the technical questions. Many of them were more technical than really ever came up on the job. I think it's good to find the limits of a candidate's knowledge, but not ding them for it. An example would be doing stuff with pointers when the job is 100% in a scripting language. Sure, ask them if they know the basics of pointers, sure maybe once in 5 years they'll troubleshoot a bug that might need obscure knowledge, but I would hope that would get triaged and passed around instead of expecting everyone to deal with the 1% case.
Everything stated here applies the other way around.

i) China wants to forbid other countries to have a chance to win in pure capitalistic games. Thus it will block strong investors from outside but let itself invest in the same countries

ii) China (e.g., CPP) currently controls the entire world via electronics equipment sold globally at an undercut price. So it sounds like a bad joke when people claim that U.S.A is inventing some surveillance mechanisms like if it is a new one.

That doesn't seem that clear cut - in the case of a drug mule, is there a victim? Does someone consuming illegal pornography, who had no part in the filming, get in trouble for their being a victim at all? If so, does someone watching a video of a murder? How many degrees of separation are we talking for the victim?
Well, just to be fair, paper and pencil are not good enough any election.

It's a whole lot harder to steal an election without an electronic voting scheme in place.

>I think the one great feature it shapes with Lisp is, that everything has a textual representation.

Is this true even for procedures? I was recently playing around with Scheme and was disappointed that once a procedure is defined, it got internalized and didn't have a textual representation other than #<proc> or the like.

In TCL, procedure signatures and bodies are stored within the runtime. You could essentially dump the entire state to a TCL file.

"We should just have paper scantron style ballots that people fill out. Then have scantron counting machines to tally them up after all voting nationwide has closed."

Vote counting machines are just as problematic as voting machines. We should just get rid of all of the machines and both vote and count by hand.
Ah, this explains the other times I've seen this.
VLAs were added to satisfy the FORTRAN crowd, who are used to efficiently instantiating huge arrays on the stack. AFAIU, you can't catch stack overflow in FORTRAN either.

That doesn't mean that they're not safe, so long as the program reliably terminates[1]. And you can catch stack overflow, it's just not easy, and made especially difficult from a software architecture perspective because neither C nor POSIX support per-thread signal handlers, so catching stack overflow requires cooperation across components and libraries. (Fortunately, POSIX does provide per-thread signal stacks via sigaltstack(2). And I suppose it should be possible to write a shared library that interposes pthread_create and signal/sigaction to support per-thread signal handlers.)

TL;DR: VLAs are fine if you're doing something you might otherwise be doing in FORTRAN. Otherwise, just don't. It's trivial to use GNU obstacks or to write your own, as I do. Just don't go down the rabbit whole of trying to solve all allocation needs; it's not a solvable problem.

[1] Sadly, before Stack Clash was published neither GCC nor clang/LLVM did this :(

Tagging system of Tk's canvas is unmatched in HTML. Pity they (HTML designers) never learn.

Basically, in Tk, you can add a tag to an element of your drawing in canvas and assign mouse (or keyboard) event handlers to change colors or other attributes on entry and exit of mouse cursor.

I made a OO/relational database schema visualization in Tk, it was breese to navigate - once you hover over a relation, you can see classes highlighted; follow highlighted relation to get to them. And once you highlight class of objects you can see to which relations it belongs.

It tooks two foreach loops to get that behavior. As far as I know, HTML5 canvas does not support that out of the box.

> That's not going to end well for them.

Define what you mean? Like users will stop using it or advertisers stop advertising?

Facebook IS already banning some categories of ads that could normally upset you - for example you cannot advertise a Gun Store - even tho owning firearm is rooted in being an American. But I don't see Americans leaving in hoards to some other venue. Same with sex ads, viagra, etc, etc. Facebook has their own reasons to block them and it only "ends for them" with higher stock price.
