I would like that in Germany too. Here it's fixed but if you get caught speeding beyond a threshold your driver's license gets suspended we also get points and with a certain amount of points you are not allowed to drive anymore at all.
I've never seen anyone do that in the UK. It would be illegal anyway but people don't even speed up and slow down. Which countries are you talking about?
Likely, yes. Any computer now can store the entire internet from 20 years ago.

If we have just one similar breakthrough in the future, storing it all will be trivial.

Is there a way to use the Bitcoin hash rate to solve more meaningful problems than SHA-256 while still being cryptographically secure? Imagine if we could send math problems to the Bitcoin network, is this possible?
Every domain you visit is sent to a DNS provider of some sort. By default, that would be whatever your ISP has defined. But it is completely configurable if you care.

So the choice isn't between Firefox sending your data somewhere and Chrome not, it is a case of both sending data to somewhere that ordinary consumers have little control over.

If you are going to send DNS requests, it makes sense that they be encrypted. If such encryption becomes standard, then I would agree that there would be no case for Firefox to default to CloudFlare. As it stands, there's not many options for encrypted DNS, and general users don't want to be prompted, they just want the best security.

Agreed, they do have some of the best tooling. Damn, VB6 was one of the most amazing development environments ever made when you think about it - shame the language was so limited.

Still, I did prefer Borland Builder and do prefer Jetbrains Rider.
If there's double predestination of that kind, then it's meaningless to say that society needs to change, as it's all predestined anyway.

I take the view that it isn't double predestined, and society, and ourselves, need to better ourselves. But to better ourselves, means giving criminals second chances, while protecting other people. After all, what you said about birth conditions and so on has some (i.e. nuanced) truth to it.
op here and the creator here, this doesn't include the chrome runtime so is much more lightweight than electron, and yes, obviously this won't solve the UI inconsistencies that electron apps have since this is also using web for rendering part but the apps created with this are more than just a web link. They integrate with the system launcher and open any external links in a separate chrome window, plus this has its own notification system polyfilling the web notification API.

> you don't get the same compile-time safety guarantees in OCaml when you use mutation.

OCaml is a garbage collected and mono-thread language.

You obviously have the same guarantees in that you can't do what would be problematic.

As a side note, a lot of the people currently writing Rust would ihmo be better served by Ocaml. You rarely need the protections Rust provides and they have a real complexity cost.
> this is an anti-science hit piece.

You're needlessly painting the world black and white. Very few people are against science.

This is not a hit piece. It's just a piece that you disagree with. That's fine, and I think your comment would be a lot stronger if it was formulated as such.

EDIT: removed lots of needless snark.
> Not knowing what the script is going to do.

This is more like:
not knowing what to do, when it doesn't work.
And this is always the case until it works. Which is just a local Phenomenon and i can't expect things that work for me to work for others. So why don't write an expressive installation documentation with multiple steps instead of one-liners that either work or don't. There is just no in between.

Take the installation instruction of syncthing for example:

curl -s https://syncthing.net/release-key.txt | sudo apt-key add -

echo "deb https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list

These two steps are hard to automate, if you don't have an interactive shell.

Same goes for the saltstack-boostrap-script. This script doesn't work on all platform equally good. This is not an reliable state. So in the end I'll stick with the normal way to install things which is very easy to automate.
From the article:

"... Swift's Stabilized ABIs on Apple platforms ... are not actually properly documented, xcode just implements it and the devs will do their best not to break it. Apple is not opposed to documenting it, it's just a lot of work and shipping was understandably higher-priority."

Having worked in Apple's Developer Publications department for eleven years, I can confirm that this statement is mostly correct. Apple has the financial resources to hire more technical writers and properly document all their APIs, but it's just not a priority.

The sad thing is that developers outside Apple need this documentation and would even be willing to help write it. But they can't because, as a matter of policy, Apple does not generally involve the developer community in writing their official documentation.
maybe they were equal...but Apple had more number of "talent" available.

Which then begs the real question - Swift is what Rust would be if Mozilla had more money/resources ?

I 100% agree that lacking windows support is a dealbreaker for many.

I actually cared a lot about the ideas of swift and wanted to (try to) contribute in some way. But without any Windows support AND lacking tools for linux+WSL it's really hard to stay motivated.

Here is what Chris Lattner said in mid 2018:

> I think that first class support for Windows is a critical thing, and I doubt anyone in the Swift community would object to it. The problem is that we need to find someone who wants it badly enough and has the resources/know-how to make it happen.

I think the root of the problem. First class windows support is a too complex task for the community and should have been initiated by Apple/Microsoft.

This is what I admire Golang and Rust. They focused on developer support early on and as a result they are (currently) more usable.

Yes, I agree that the aviation industry hiding behind the streak of years of no accidents has contributed to how bad Boeing became. They were using that statistic as a shield and a hammer to justify further deregulation.

This is a great example of how looking at the world through the prism of stats really limits your understanding of what's actually happening.

You need to give size if you’re gonna start quoting build prices. “billions of dollars” would be a plant in the gigawatt range. The US currently uses about 400GW so we’re looking at a couple of trillion USD to replace the entire US grid with nuclear. What’s the surface area required for 400GW of solar / wind? Napkin math suggests around a million acres needed for solar (assuming internet sources are correct)

Well, in an ideal case, yes, you would be doing it like that. The reality might be different, especially when using an ORM.

>Of course, I'd also be wondering why an invoice would ever exist without an invoice number

Draft invoices do not have an invoice number, since they don't really exist anywhere. You can delete a draft invoice and nothing has happened. But if you have an invoice number, that's a record that must be kept.

> Saying that making a complaint public and it's answer public constitutes harassment just sounds trollish

Have we really reached the point where people think it’s normal to run every proceeding live on Twitter? Imagine if this was at an event, and a person was wearing a “I love HN” hat”, if another attendant stood up on a chair and started screaming from the top of their lungs “This makes me feel uncomfortable!!! It’s a violation of the CoC!!”.

Would your first thought be “this is a great process” or “perhaps we should tell the screamer to stop yelling and talk to the officials”.

It constitutes harassment because the aim here was not a proper review of a potential Violation, but an attempt at instilling mob mentality against an individual and forefinger due process in evaluating the case.

As for the complaint about exact motives being hidden. The argument is only that since the rest was conducted in public, the public should have transparency into the motives and review. Which seems reasonable as a response to this case, not as a general rule.
Apparently emails were sent by Google to support, to their GMail accounts, which they are banned from...
The real issue here is that (reportedly) the people who spammed got their GMail accounts shut down.

That's outrageous.

That's your real-life, not just your online-life. Your GMail account isn't even related at all to your YouTube identity.

Remember: if you aren't _at least_ paying for your e-mail service you don't own your own mailbox. When was the last time you made a backup of your GMail account? What contingency plan do you have in-place if Google ever accidentally, unintentionally, or in this case, intentionally, shuts it down?

(Disclaimer: I pay $20/mo for an Office 365 E3 account for my personal mailbox)
Yeah that's the problem with the overuse of speed cameras.

No decent policing of the roads - as there are hardly any police doing it - focusing entirely on speeding instead of unsafe or poor driving.
Amazing, HN filled with Google shills. This is real problem and proven time and time again that Google doesn't know how to do account management automatically.
Ran into this issue with CI and git. Was so difficult to track down. Now all Macs on my team are reformatted to be case sensitive because of this. Thankfully it's an option now.
I would not rely on a third party (especially a platform with so inconsistent behavior and unclear rules) when talking about an irreplaceable asset.
If just poor people learn not to speed that will already make the roads a ton safer, as there are many more of them.
>That said, "hundreds of executed instructions" are literally not a concern with present-day hardware

People really need to stop saying this and stop accepting it as a "truth". It only applies in _some_ applications, and even there it stops applying once you want to do it many times over and over again.
Yeah, me too. It's incredible how fast it can be, when words are in the dictionary.

"I'm a Norwegian who went to a Swedish music festival last summer.

I couldn't pay for a lot of things there, since the booths only accepted Swish (the only relevant Swedish mobile payment solution, it's a de facto monopoly). I couldn't sign up and use Swish on my phone, since it only accepts Swedish bank accounts. I couldn't borrow money from my Swedish friends either, since they didn't have cash (and it mostly wasn't accepted at the festival anyway).

When I could get someone to pay for me directly, transferring the money back to them was hard (since the festival didn't have any ATMs), so I had to go through the whole burdensome SWIFT procedure with getting their bank account number, their full name and address, their bank info, IBAN number of their bank etc, so I could send the money back when I got home to Norway.

Utopia my ass."
I would also recommend never storing mission-critical stuff only in your email. Losing the contents of your inbox should be the least of your concerns if there’s a chance you might lose access to your account. There are far worse repercussions - e.g. a) how do you update everyone else's record of your email address? b) how many services have you locked yourself out of, or made doing so much more likely?
Another victim of in-band signalling.

Unfortunately, converting to PNG doesn't work for interactive apps that use SVG as an interactive GUI instead of just a static vector image format. Of course, the user could just install Firefox (or Chrome) to get good-quality SVG support if Apple allowed it, which is why Apple doesn't allow it on iOS. After all, if Apple allowed you to freely choose a fully-working browser, they couldn't force you to use their Apple-only native technologies to get things to work well. It would be much harder to lock you and your customers (sorry, Apple reminds us that they are actually Apple's customers, NOT yours) into Apple's private world.
I predict the following article in two years:

"Netflix, HBO and Cable Giants Are Coming for Co-Watchers"

"A coalition that includes Netflix Inc., HBO, cable-industry titans and Smart TV manufacturers is stepping up efforts to crack down on people sitting on a couch and watching a movie together, discussing new measures to close a loophole that could be costing companies billions of dollars in lost revenue each year."

Do you think something dangerous has happened if you drive 70 on 60 when that's the speed everyone else is going and the city hasn't bothered to changed the speeds to match reality?
It’s been an option since basically forever (I think you could use HFS+ case sensitive on Tiger, even).

But it breaks a large number of apps, so do it with caution.

It’s probably a choice because of restrictions upon this “innovation unit”. If deployed for real, itnprobably wouldn’t be a choice.
> If you give people a choice,

I would be curious to see how/if it brings down speeding if they don't get a choice at all but just have to wait. It's not very practical but I do think it would work in principle.
I found this book at the back of my parents shelf when I was much younger and found it fascinating. I still think of it sometimes even today, and flip coins rather than roll a dice when I'm indecisive. I'm surprised that the author is so wholesome.

Brilliant book, and it's a shame the film adaptation has fallen through. I guess it's a bit hard to adapt as a lot of it's exposition is inside the main characters head?

The author would do well to read more philosophy of science. Popper's over a century old; Quine's only just recently closer to Popper than to us! And the author doesn't even know about Quine.

Edit: In particular, while Popper was very concerned with falsifiability and how to reject pseudoscience, Quine was concerned with compatibility and how well different theories fit together. Quine's view is useful for physics because it immediately highlights that relativity and QM work very well within themselves, but not with each other; therefore we know exactly where the interesting scientific discoveries ought to be found.
> If you give people a choice, the super wealthy mostly will pay a relatively small fee and go about their day, and you'll end up temporarily incarcerating the very poor for the same social malfeasance. (With some distribution of behaviors in the middle.) Is that better?

I think this pilot is giving people a choice, but any actual implementation would not.
I don't know how this works in other countries, but in the Netherlands, police can nearly always find a reason to make you spend a night in jail. We have laws against public drunkenness, against "unlawful assembly", etc. It's mostly used to break up bar brawls without having to gather too much evidence.

Stuff like this only works if the police is not terribly corrupt of course. But if the police force is corrupt (or, like in the US, continuously afraid of their lives + racially biased), then I'd wager there are bigger dangers to society than the ability to make someone stand by the highway for a while.

Tickets for all violations result in points. Speeding points depend on the amount over the limit. Total points in last 3 years are one factor that goes into insurance pricing.

> ABI-resilience by default at dylib boundaries

Actually ABI-resilience is not the default, it is enabled by a compiler flag.

In addition to that, there are some current compiler limitations when it comes to cross-module usage of generics and inlining that affect performance. But those are not by design and can be improved in future compiler versions.
Yes, it feels you are standing absolutely still when one of those mercs or porsches rocket past you (while I'm driving 130-140 km/h it still feels like standing still when some of them pass).
Manual speed traps are nice. Often, you don’t get pulled over for going a little over the limit, especially if everyone around you is going the same speed.
Last time a DBA suggested me dropping foreigb keys for performance reasons, i suggested him to write code ensuring data consistency with distributed parallel writes. Haven't heard anything about FKs from him since.
No only that but, by doing so, they're effectively taking away any remaining semblance of proof that you weren't spamming.
Yes perhaps but we don't all get to spend that 24 hours equally in a day so is it really fair? A poor person may have to work 2 jobs at minimum wage and still barely get by working 16 hour days. This person already has to spend most of their day working. Now for the person making millions off investments literally making making money while they sleep and only has to work 8 hours a day is it really the same for these 2 people to take a 1 hour time out? The only way I can see this system work would be ever increasing time frames each time you get pulled over and since people can't spend 8 hours on the side of the highway with no bathroom or food, they should just make people come sit in a classroom where they could also educate on the dangers of speeding. As a person who struggles with sleep, I am on a regular basis pulling over on the side of the read for a half hour to catch some sleep. This would hardly be a punishment for me and I would not be deterred from doing it again. Make it several hours long, cut the internet and then we are getting somewhere.
This is like being put in the "naughty corner", for adults.

... and since most adults experienced this form of punishment during their formative years, it's bound to be super effective.

Brilliant!
It is pointless, also nobody ever cares much how well a text editor can handle obscure text files (file too large, broken encoding, ....) What matters is how it handles well-formatted files, the others aren't worth opening in an editor anyways :)
I find it quite disturbing that in the US you have this insurance/tickets connection, it has been said clearly by many city halls and police forces that most ticketing and regulations are rigged to be just another city income stream, nothing much to do with safety or concern (just cap car speed from manufacturers you really care about safety). Glad here in Europe it's completely separated afaik.
That sounds about right. The danger one poses on the road is a function of, among other things, speed and time behind the wheel.
