Yea, we probably don’t want to do that. Over-expression has a tendency to compete with other regulatory genes, enabling the reverse of what we’d aim to achieve.

For people still using Twitter with a web browser on a laptop or desktop, I’d highly recommend tweetdeck.twitter.com. The interface is split into multiple columns and allows one to focus on what’s interesting or relevant. I personally liked it a lot when I used Twitter in the past for sometime.
I guess this is technically by design, but only if you have your iCloud account associate the number with iMessage (you toggle the send/receive from the number in the settings).

So even if your phone isn't using imessage, if your computer or ipad is, they'll receive the imessages and apple doesn't also send a text in addition to the imessage for the non-Apple device.

Just adding this in case anyone is using vs code and is wondering about dev on windows. I'd say that wsl is nice for some tasks but I wouldn't rely on it as a daily driver. It's great for installing some CLI tools to perform certain tasks. Maybe some file grepping or searching that you want to do with your local stuff but find it infuriating to do with powershell or bat scripts. This doesn't mean WSL is bad by any means. It's actually great. But not good enough. Not yet.

But I use windows as my daily driver and what does work amazingly well for me is virtualbox and running a VM as my developer machine on it. I run Ubuntu server. And for developing, VS code has this amazing feature that allows one to connect to a remote and develop on it as if it's a local filesystem. This includes having extensions that interact with the remote too. This also means I don't do the whole shared folders dance with all its oddities around speed and syncing anymore. Honestly, it changed the whole windows dev game for me.

Once the new terminal for windows is actually v1 (not holding breath for that. Theres a lot of work for that. Its probably going to miss the winter v1 projection) I think the windows dev experience will be complete.

Any accusation of "unfounded generalization" -- words that I did not use but that you still put in quotes as if I had -- I may have been making was towards your original point (influential ideas, not people; of all time, not just the 20th century), and not the shifted goalpost. So I don't see how your examples refute the objection in its original context.

Second, even in the restricted context, sure many very influential non-Europeans may have been European-educated (as a result of European colonisation), but that doesn't mean you can casually discard the bases of their ideologies that came from their non-European roots. Take the case of Gandhi in India. European-educated for sure, and probably the most influential Indian of the 20th century: but his most influential ideas were distinctly non-European.

Third, what about influential people who weren't European-educated or in any obvious way influenced by European thought? Take the case of Abdul Sattar Edhi, considered Pakistan's "most respected" humanitarian (quote from Wikipedia). No European influence in sight.

Outside shifting goalposts and cherry-picking, I think your original point was a bit of an overreach. You might as well add most influential in Europe, really. The world is bigger than Europe.

At this point I'd be more concerned if they have no plans to support AV1 and AVIF. It would be nice if Apple played ball more with the open ecosystems instead of constantly being a thorn in everyone's sides and such a contrarian in everything.
Good points. Pretty much seems like a rephrasing of "do things that don't scale".
> any responsible application should track when that data was read and reject updates if the backing data has changed since it was read... but very few applications even attempt to do this (it's really hard and a huge amount of boilerplate with most APIs).

it is done very simple by versioning. Usually implemented transparently for the data layer API clients.

Is that true? This was the time when Germany was creating higher criticism.

It certainly bears out here in California where every year our wage increases are immediately followed with a rent increase.

I'm the person paying literally the cheapest apartment rent in the entire county, because of being grandfathered in due to long tenancy. $1300/mo. Everyone else in the same complex, for fewer or the same amenities, pays easily $300 more. Rent everywhere else runs about $1800 and quickly rising.
ABI stability benefits users too. It reduces payload sizes because runtime can reside in the OS as a shared library.

Will 2020 be the year when WebKit, and the Safari browsers by extension, will have full and proper support for Service Workers and PWAs on par with other browsers? I recall reading that Safari lags behind on it, and the allegation was that Apple prefers native apps and doesn’t want web apps to be more popular.

I had the same experience with FF on laptops. Switched between FF and Chrome a few times then settled on Brave for a combination of Chromium’s performance, just without the Google :) It was a bit buggy but they’ve mostly ironed it out.

C++'s template metaprogramming was "found" as an accident, and is a very bad example of metaprogramming as a whole. (Techniques like SFINAE and CRTP seem more like a hack, and leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you use it.)

What we should talk about instead: hygienic macros in Scheme/Rust, AST-level modification in Nim, dependent types, etc. I think metaprogramming is an aspect of programming that should be explored more, and is definitely useful for reducing boilerplate.
This is basically a type of meditation.
It mirrors my experience as well.

I will admit that Firefox has gone through periods where the UI is just plain butt ugly, kind of like the current iteration (sorry Mozilla guys, I'm just not a fan). That has always been easy enough to remedy. When Firefox still had real themes, you could make it seamlessly fit most UIs or even mock Chrome, if that was your thing. At least you can still modify userchrome.css. The Australis era UI was pretty nice. It's a shame they left it behind to compete with Chrome looks.

I always found the XUL plugin ecosystem to be significantly more robust than Chrome offerings. They are kind of on par now that they're both using WebExtensions.

I keep Chrome around for testing and other things that only want to work on Chrome now. For example, Google drive never seems to want to download my files when I'm using Firefox. They just redirect to a blank white tab. On the Mac, Chrome does this annoying thing when you hit Cmd+Q to quit. It tells you that you have to hold Cmd+Q for a period of time instead. I move quickly on the keyboard and that pattern breaks my flow. I know you can change the setting, which I have done, but it's totally different from nearly every other app on my system.

Github is probably past the stage of premature optimization.

Presume (for argument's sake) that we accept the premise that foreign keys do not scale. Then the question is whether there exists some sort of realistic migration strategy once usage grows past that. If it does, then using FK makes total sense until we hit that point, doesn't it? And if true this should apply to 99% of users.

But if there exists no such migration strategy, then maybe the guy has a point?

Should I Pursue a PhD?
I'm struggling about deciding wether or not I should pursue PhD. Answering this question is not definitely objective and depends on my background and my values. So I try to explain a little bit then I would like to get advice from you guys.

Currently I'm studying for my M.Sc in Vancouver. My field of research is natural language processing and more specifically neural machine translation. I recently published a paper in a workshop of a major NLP conference (EMNLP 2019) and attended the conference in Hong Kong. I also have two published papers in my undergrad in top tier conferences.

In my home country, I used to work as a software engineer in a top tech company in which millions of people were using our products and it was somehow the google of my country. I did software engineering 2 years part time and 1.5 years full time.

Why I'm struggling:

Advantage of software engineering to me:

1. Team work (much more than research)

2. Less stress compared to being a PhD student (you are worried about conference deadline and wether or not this idea is gonna work)

3. Features are delivered faster and you feel the impact.

4. You are directly having impact on your customers.

5. Good money -> Use my youth
-------------------

Advantages of a PhD:

1. Research is intellectually satisfying as fk.

2. Diversity of the problems (Much more than engineering)

3. Future is AI.

I was not even considering pursuing a PhD but after attending the conference I got inspired but still have my doubts. If I pursue a PhD it takes a couple of years of my youth. You are still a student and students are somehow poor financially. I want to use my youth to explore life as much as possible.

The reason I'm asking it on HN rather than reddit is that people here are generally curious and understand what I mean by saying that research is very very intellectually satisfying.

Any advice for me to consider?
The price of power is probably also regulated. You can't really compare France to the US, the French state steps in and regulates pretty much anything.

What I'll say might come off naive but I accept this at an attempt for a reductionist's viewpoint.

A singular update that side affects *N (times N) where N is greater than 1 will always lead to either a race condition or latency.
You do not need dedicated energy storage scattered around. It is far more useful to build large storage systems in one place then connect them to the HV grid like a normal power station. Then the energy can be exported to millions of homes and store energy from across the grid. And you get better economies of scale and lower installation costs.

Distributed storage can make sense when it is colocated with a generator (like a wind farm) as it helps increase utilisation of the expensive grid connection.
Imagine being an actual engineer and caring about correctness and stupid, oldskool stuff like that.
That article is confusing. Above the entry you linked to I read this:

> California statutes of limitations are a little different and less complex. Felonies like murder and other offenses that are punishable by life imprisonment or death have no statute of limitations nor does the embezzlement of public money. If the punishment for a crime is eight years or more in prison, the statute of limitations runs out in six years, and other offenses punishable by prison time have a statute that expires in three years.

So I suppose the limitation of 6 years is for lesser degrees of murder? But more severe murder charges (that could result in a life sentence or worse) carry no limitation?

The Golden State Killer is one example where crimes committed over 30 years ago are still fair game for prosecution (and he never went into hiding nor did he leave the state, so no tolling)
This is ridiculous. For better or worse his name is already public record. It reminds me of when the military ordered enlisted people not to read the Wikileaks publications, even as the Wikileaks info was published everywhere and read by everyone.
I find the keyboard layout switching really awkward but for different reasons. On MacOS/Linux, setting the keyboard layout is global - under windows it's per-application and the default is for shift-backtick to switch between layouts which is something I manage to hit pretty frequently.

When I was working on a host where I needed two layouts (US-Dvorak + US-Qwerty for other users) I ended up solving the problem using AutoHotKey to hook all keys and send a different keyevent. It was pretty gross but it bypassed all the issues I was having in a convenient way.

Perhaps you could hook US symbols such as "$" and rebind to UK equivalents with AHK? Alternatively, creating a modified EN-US keyboard layout which has relevant key-symbols would also work / be less hacky, but probably require more effort.
Hopefully not. I'd hate to click through "This site wants to push new ads to you. Allow notifications?" modals on my shiny new iPhone (edit: in addition to content being constrained to poststamp-sized areas between GDPR banners).

The correct way of doing Hungarian Notation, as demonstrated in this article, is to encode in the name of the variable what it does, not its type.

Me too, please!

I want to build (or use) a custom 3D rendering engine that:

+ Renders from center of screen, in clockwise spiral outward, if any pixels remain after 15ms I want to drop them (should only be peripheral, I'm OK with that in exchange for constant performance time).

+ Can add secondary orthogonal clipping triangles to each triangle, such that the clipping edge could be defined by a curve. Imagine a hexagon (made of 6 triangles), we could easily extend a low poly hexagon into a high resolution circle just by interpolating a curve here.

+ My goal after that is to then define an animation pipeline, where it will procedurally generate thousands of fluid dynamic simulations that it then feeds back into itself as a machine learning training set. Once it has associated these slow compute intensive simulations with the model, ideally we can swap in high-resolution smoke/fluid graphics in-game by only using a few low resolution particle "marker" calculations that then trigger substitutions for the model.

And much more.

I'm OK if this takes me 9 years to make. My target is Rust+WebGL, inspired by the really impressive work of MakePad.

I'm also willing to spend money on people who can teach me this, so please contact me if you're an expert on Shaders and low level WebGL experience.
ABI stability is not about size! It's about enabling the libraries to evolve simultaneously with the app.

For example, in the next version of the OS, all table views get type select. Combo boxes work better with screen readers. Menus get dark mode. etc.

An OS can provide much more than libc or Win32 "basic layers". It can provide a whole UI vocabulary, and apps which use its frameworks enjoy new features as the OS improves. That's the hope at least.
They care about privacy and still have a massive connection with China?

Idk but if you're willing to break your privacy for one state, what's stopping you from breaking it for another?
That's plausible. But it also could be a good guess. Lots of messages from valentines day gives us a good hint that we have a time capsule from february. Machine with time capsule reboots and then sends everything is plausible for SMS systems (smtp too).

No strong carrier affiliation for senders or receivers suggests an intermediary. Not a lot of those in the US; Syniverse, maybe SAP (Sybase 365); I don't think Bandwidth does intercarrier work.

It still might be possible to have types like `UserId` or `UserCredential`, which get parsed at the request time and never roll back to plain strings. It is evident that they are indeed different subtypes of strings: user identifiers can't have a space for example.

That said, I generally agree that conventional type systems are not (yet) capable of encoding all those informations to a type. I prefer a mix of actual types and coding conventions for the practical matter.
