If people like Brave's ad model, all the power to them. I would personally never touch it. I'm not philosophically on board with the idea that paying people to look at ads is a pragmatic way forward. It doesn't matter if it's opt-in, free-to-play games with loot crates are opt-in, but the decision to go down that road will effect their decision making process when designing new features and I don't want to be part of it even indirectly.
I've been using Brave on android for a while now and it has been really good - it is basically the same as chrome, except with a built-in ad blocker. Highly recommend it as your daily driver.

I use firefox on desktop, but found firefox on android to be a bit clunky the last time I tried it (years ago)
Does Python generate ES5 code for maximum compatibility?

Or does the Python generate the Typescript which is transpiled to ES6 which is then transpiled to ES5 for browser compatibility and the SASS is transpiled to base CSS templates for browser compatibility as well?

What if I'm using web assembly to generate my Python which generates the JS which transpiles to Typescript then to ES6 then to ES5?

I'm a big fan of how flexible all of our web language API's are!

Someone should make one language that transpiles down to Javascript AND Python AND Ruby AND Erlang even! Then you could code in ALL languages with just one language!

Like a terraform for programming languages.
You can turn off ads in your browser settings under "Brave Rewards". You won't earn any tokens though.
No it's not strange. The MBPs are (were?) great, reliable tools on which thousands of professionals rely on every day. They also rely on being able to replace them with equivalent or better replacements when they break.

They work. There's no need for needless new gimmicks. It's fine to have a reliable, consistent tool available for purchase. Just like Thinkpads, hammers and multimeters. It's ok to be conservative on new things in some market segments.
Not rendering ad networks and trackers.
Probably the built-in ad and tracker blocking. All of those scripts and content add up.
"They ban entire accounts that are not paying" isn't a hard-and-fast rule either; I wouldn't risk anything you can't afford to be cut off from stored monoculture-style in Google's ecosystem, whether or not you're paying, if it's absolutely critical to you. Regardless of whether they apply a different account risk model, the checking thing is experimental and I definitely would recommend against handing it money you can't afford to lose.

Your point on Paypal is valid, and people dealing with Google checking are making a risk calculation like people dealing with Paypal do (but of course, one would hope that over time, the offerings improve; Google entering this market new should be offering something better than Paypal).

I mean, that was a pretty terrible thing to do and learning it does color my perception of Brave. I just wish the OP had provided that context (and they probably wouldn't have gotten so downvoted by others if they had).
Lack of focus on the class, boredom, lack of will to obey rules and instructions, punishment instead of rewards (for example, bad grade on a math test because they did it in their head instead of writing down the whole process) for different behaviour and many more
I agree public cloud needs mitigations to be secure. But a significant number of workloads (~50%?) run on-prem or in private clouds. Those generally host "more trusted" code.
I'd be curious what IDEs support the touch bar for debugging or is that something you configured yourself?
Blocking ads?
I guess just blocking ads and trackers gives a significant performance boost they leverage in their marketing. I bet benchmark against any of the other browsers with ad-blockers installed would give a different result.
I wanted one of these when I first spotted it, but in hindsight it would be too dependent on software to work and I'd probably end up spending ages setting it up when the right thing to do would be to get blank key caps.
Quoting from https://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt/potential-impact-processors-...

"On August 15, 2018, security vulnerabilities codenamed Foreshadow/L1TF (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646 and CVE-2018-3615) were announced. Two of the vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-3620 and CVE-2018-3646) could potentially impact Power Systems. The Firmware and OS patches released by IBM in February and March 2018 to address the original Meltdown vulnerability (CVE-2017-5754) also address the L1TF/Foreshadow vulnerability, except for Power 9 Systems running with KVM Hypervisor. OS patch for Power 9 KVM Systems will be made available soon. The Firmware and OS patches for all other Power Systems are available in this blog below.

The third L1TF/Foreshadow vulnerability (CVE-2018-3615) relates to SGX implementation and does not impact the Power Systems."
I couldn't even imagine. My family upgraded from dialup to satellite around 2006 as a luxury, and the latency was basically unworkable for anything remotely realtime.

Even for a reasonably decent plan, the caps were also ridiculous as well. I could realistically watch maybe 45 minutes of YouTube per month.

"Brave warns US Senate & Congress: foreign state actors can use targeted ads to run code on US government computers, exploiting conventional browsers"

Oh, my. I am so scared. And Brave is of course a knight in shining armor ready to protect our shaken foundations.
The US has workers who, on average, work longer hours than anywhere else in the world. Salaries, esp. in STEM, and esp. on the mid-to-high-end, are also wayyy higher than anywhere else.

If you want to make that fat US developer salary be ready to put in the work. Presumably Disney has the money to throw at you via salary... but they're going to get their money's worth.
I don't think it would fly. Google would just argue you agreed to that in the terms of service. Plus it would be slower and more expensive than just getting Google to reinstate your access, even if you had to fly there in person to beg them.
The malign applications of this technology greatly outweigh the benign. Discuss.
I don't understand the lineage that you've charted here. ML is older than all the others; Haskell is older than Clojure and PLT/Racket; Common Lisp is older than Racket/PLT, etc. The arrows don't make any sense.
>That's what I meant by cross-platform linking..

Everything there is taking place on YouTube. Ads can maybe be a cross platform, but even that isn't necessary

>I argue that you can

It can't. Knowing what videos I have watched in the past is very useful. This can't truly be anonymous and shared.

>Well if it doesn't help competition, how useful can it be?

You are the one arguing that releasing this data solves a problem.
Funny enough I just replaced my MBP 15 with a Sager notebook due to two of the issues they seem to have addressed with this release. First and foremost was lack of ram I have to virtualize a lot of specialty hardware for one of my clients so that I can simulate a total environment on a single machine. There can literally be 1000's of nodes running custom embedded systems. 16GB was stretching it on my last MBP and 32 just got me back in the game with my 15. I really needed 64GB and my new Sager has the ability to go to 128GB.

The second was the move away from the 17 MBP I know they are not popular and I know the reasons for killing it, but I develop on the road a lot and the extra screen space helps when a second monitor is not practical.

Had this been out 6 months ago I may have reconsidered my switch to a PC. That being said I am happy with my switch.
Initially I liked the concept of brave, but they destroyed themselves by bloating it with this coin/payment stuff that is not possible to remove 100%. Back to Firefox now.
The first time I tried to break the cycle with Google was for NYE 2011, but Gmail was impossible to get rid of at the time. The last redesign has meant that I literally more than prefer Thunderbird nowadays, and it's no longer considered weird to not want e-mail/Facebook/etc on your phone, so I'm aiming to dump Gmail for real for 2020.

Since they killed off so many services pretty much the only thing else that I use is Google Cloud. Current plan is

- Disposable account for my phone until I replace it a new phone that has no identifying marks shared with the old account. Probably create a new disposable account for the replacement phone and disable sync

- Otherwise unused Gmail account to own the gcloud stuff

- Delete my domain, move e-mail to pretty much doesn't matter any more, I'm back to where the only thing I actually need is POP3. It's insane that somehow this happened but it did. It's 1998 all over again
You disable competitors ads to show your own. Something is wrong with it.
>Who are these people that, having bought some sneakers already, get a email about other sneakers into their nearly bottomless inbox full of junk (presumedly, given they don't avoid these kinds of marketing messages) will actually notice it amongst the noise and then actually be compelled to buy additional shoes they wouldn't have otherwise

They exist, I just think it's stupid to build your business around them.

Interesting that you saw that. I guess it could be real, but sounds weird too.
I'd get an external display with a dock built-in. I have the new 4k LG one at my desk, and I love needing only one cable to connect to my MBP when I'm at my desk. It even handles power.
I'd assume to limit how much transaction costs for microtransactions from many users. Credit cards are awful for small transactions, so you buy a bulk of BAT every month to reduce transactional overhead and then let creators cash out when they have some threshould of BAT. They could have done it way simpler than a cryptocurrency, though, by just using a floating point number in a database somewhere, but I'm assuming they assume a distributed ledger is more secure somehow.
>You set a budget (e.g. 10 BAT/month)

What if a user doesn't earn 10 BAT a month browsing?

It seems like that system would break down over time.
Plus the updated CPU, RAM and GPU associated with a hardware refresh. They can be seen also as good selling points :)
You need some sort of cryptocurrency for this as microtransactions don't really work in the legacy system. Also by using their own token they can boot strap the ecosystem cheaply as they can mint the tokens themselves with the value accruing later after network participants are onboarded and transacting.
If people aren't willing to look at ads, what will news articles become? ads. What will HN comments become? Ads (many blog posts already are). Advertising covers a need

Hi, Breck.

I found your Tree Notation in this post and read through the website and the papers on the Github repo. It seems like a tool for creating a new DSL (or language). But I am not quite understand how to do it (even though I watched the YouTube video).

Could you write some document for how to create a DSL using the Tree Notation?

Thank you.
Except PHP. Hating on PHP is practically a meme at this point.
They are, but for much lower passenger volumes than trains or subways.

A bus rapid-transit line with all the bells-and-whistles like grade-separation (don't share any roads with cars), elevated platforms at every station for faster boarding, etc. can't handle more than about 3k passengers per hour[1]. A standard bus-line without that extra infrastructure, much less.

A subway line can handle 30k passengers per hour. You could build ten times as many bus lines on parallel roads, but it's probably going to cost more than the subway line and you are going to run out of space when you consider locations that have a subway station every quarter to half mile. Fitting ten bus lines in that space would be one every 150 feet or so.

What is magic about it? It looks very basic.
> They keep announcing it, yet you still can't buy it. I wonder why.

There's some custom parts involved, so maybe it just required getting new manufacturing processes up to speed and it took longer than expected? I think the Mac Pro is not manufactured or assembled in China, which might be part of that additional time, too.

> Extraversion expressed as gregariousness rather than assertiveness. Also, higher agreeableness. This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading.

Yes, that does say that women are genetically worse leaders and implies that their lower salaries are at least in part because they are naturally worse negotiators.

The whole section it's written on is focused on explaining how sexism is mostly a exaggeration and that sex differences can instead be explained by genetic factors. Any more questions?

100 miles is very doable with current BEV tech. A skateboard design will drop the center of gravity, can be armored better than most other designs.

Battery tech will get there. Electric motors will deliver more torque and independent torque vectoring will open up even more terrain to ruin.

Range can probably be done with a range extending generator, and PVs on the roof can charge while you camp.

But I'm not going to shed tears that BEVs don't fit the 200 mile offroad romp use case. BEVs won't come to Jeep segments until some other commercial application does it. Jeep buyers generally don't care about the environment when it comes down to it, they've been buying horribly inefficient dinosaur burners for decades and really aren't any different than Hummer buyers.
Your life right now has unpriced externalities among them: deaths from vehicle miles driven, sedentary car bound lifestyles, parking lot deserts, reduced childhood autonomy, pollution, highway driving commute times, class segregation by neighborhood).

You are welcome of course to continue living that way, but I wish you luck affording it once society chooses to price those externalities in.
You can customise it to a larger degree than you realise, with tools such as BetterTouchTool. You can script it. It takes some work to setup but it allows for extremely cool things to happen. This should be right up every hacker's alley!

Regarding discoverability - it's a touchscreen, why wouldn't you swipe it? No one complains about two-pinch zoom not being discoverable. It requires a single a-ha moment which you could've had from taking a cursory look at the Touchbar documentation.

As a hacker news reader, it's on you for not checking out the powerful possibilities before categorising it as bad.

Edit: I'm finding articles explaining the swipe-to-change from 2017, so it should be on that model (I believe it's on every model since the beginning).
"Isn’t it annoying / time intensive / costly to rely solely on cloud GPUs when trying to learn or have hobby projects in ML?"

No, it's all of those things when you use them professionally as well. There's a couple of things that people (usually business/operations people) overlook with respect to the cloud. Let's take a look:

1. The cost of compute clouds grows exponentially with every addition. Need an SSD? Extra money. Need an extra large HDD? Extra money. Need it on a secure private network? Extra money. You can very easily rack up the cost of a single local GPU system per-user per-year if you work on the cloud as a large organization.

2. Security: The cloud causes a lot of privacy issues and security issues. Are you a government agency with confidential information? Do you need to keep exact track of where it is at all times? The cloud will never let you do this.

3. Connectivity: I've yet to have any cloud provider provide uptime on the level that a local GPU box can provide. Our record cloud down-time was over a week.

For these reasons, in larger organizations, cloud tends to get a lot of push back. Unfortunately, this is largely ignored by executives who have drank the cool-aid from Microsoft and think "cloud is the future"

This gives me confidence that it's most probably not fatally bad. Which is good enough for something so delicious as dairy.

Presumably, they want BAT to be publicly tradeable. Hard to do with a central currency.
Germany has been spearheading the neoliberal assault on democracy alongside the US and Great Britain as early as the 1980s. In the 2000s we created "Europe's best low-income sector" (Gerhard Schroeder) and destroyed the pension scheme. This dramatically decreased social security among low- to middle-income workers.

German labor institutions are strategically oriented towards collaboration (much like in the US), they are extremely centralized and anti-democratic and if you're in the workers' council and you're a member of the supervisory board, socio-economically you belong to the upper class. This facilitates the same corporate conspiracies as everywhere else.

Furthermore, East-Germany's labor market as a whole is much more like Eastern European labor markets. It is super-exploited. However, it is right in Western Europe where you've got access to decent infrastructure and massive subsidies.

> - Either the item is listed as being sold by its original manufacturer and fulfilled by Amazon

I wouldn't trust that one. Since Amazon co-mingles inventory, stuff that's sold by the original manufacturer but FBA could still get mixed up with counterfeit product.

What you'd really want to do to make sure that it's coming from the original manufacturer is look for stuff that is sold by the original manufacturer and not fulfilled by Amazon.

It's not the marketing. It's the fact that it's what biologists call expensive signaling. You are spending money, not on a trip that you both enjoy, but on a ring that really only she enjoys. This is an expensive (therefore hard to fake) signal that you care about how she feels.

Now, imagine that the diamond is cheaper. It is no longer an expensive signal. Therefore, although the diamond is the same, it no longer serves the same purpose. So, the cheaper diamonds get, the less demand there is from prospective brides, even if only marginally. This fuels further declines, although that is probably already happening due to better industrial diamonds.

This takes time, of course. But that also means it has a lot of momentum. As the price decline continues, and the word of that spreads, it will accelerate.
I had that conversation with a doctor. She wanted a diamond. She knew ALL the issues with diamonds. I said, "and knowing all that, kids arms hacked off, you still want a diamond?"

"Yes!!" And she was giddy at the prospect.

I felt confirmation in that moment for having broken up her years before that.

Another few years after that conversation she got her diamond -- after gaining 100lbs and getting a boob job.

I really don't understand how some people think.

I think they want users to be able to control the web through their attention. It's a great idea that acts as indirect pressure on websites to behave. As things are now, users have no way to slap a site on the wrist for being horribly slow and invasive. Brave seems to want to change that.

Why is the routing and fare calculation a big problem? I can see writing to a legacy system being slow, but I would think there could be constant caching somewhere of the data as it is read by anyone, and thus reads could be mostly fast, making routing calculation fast. Then it would be a matter of checking for validity of chosen routes.
Trying, failing, and backtracking is an inherent part of innovation. It's not as sexy as trying and succeeding, but even Apple can't win them all, so the alternative is never trying. That would be the real stagnation.
