Correct. I'm the parent. Not endorsing this. Just accepting the reality. Most off our TBTF bailouts were unnecessary in my opinion, or if actually necessary, the bailouts were insufficiently punitive to investors. Most of it comes down to the political power and DC influence of the company management.

> No it won't. Who exactly will it help? Converting someone to an employee doesn't magically change their income.

Contractors will be helped in many fields and industries. Outside of writing and development/technology, most contractors are messed with and not given their fair shake. This will change that.

> The only difference is now there is a lack of flexibility: An employee needs a certain number of hours, all the benefits are based on it.

If it is too tight laws can be adjusted. The point is it will help more that it will hurt.

You can still be a contractor in California that doesn't have to sign a non-compete, which is worth more than anything to a contractor.

> This law only has downsides. It will help exactly no one.

Are you speaking from a contractor viewpoint or business? The contractor/labor/worker viewpoint greatly is improved with leverage.

Companies have to be more careful with contractor classifications for people that don't want it.

If someone wants to work part-time and deny all benefits that is fine. Yes there are things like insurance and more paperwork but you don't think people will innovate and create products to make that easy in California. This is an opportunity.

This is California, without non-competes, where competition and innovation happens, and there is still some leverage on the labor/worker side of the equation. Big businesses hate that so California is incessantly attacked by corporate and authoritarian powers that be. America still has one state fighting for labor, California.

The video creator is on HN so if the gods of internet attention shine upon us he may be able to comment here.

In lieu of that, I'll offer my one-line take of the prediction of the video. JavaScript will fade from popularity, but its (original) popularity will inspire a low-level assembly-like language (looking more and more like WebAssembly these days) that will provide a new substrate for most application development, web-based or otherwise, replacing traditional binaries.

As you point out it's not at all clear, even five years on from this talk, that this prediction will be correct. WebAssembly is currently complementary to JS and cannot fully replace it. The vast majority of websites these days use JS but not WebAssembly. Use of WebAssembly for applications that traditionally have not been run inside a web browser (e.g. GIMP, LibreOffice, etc.) is still nascent and it's nowhere near a sure bet that it'll take off there.

But maybe, just maybe, it'll happen.
Yes yes yes. But even if everything plays out like you say I don’t think you can say there’s no foreseeable future in which this happens. Please engage with the actual plans and state the technical details you know rather than saying that China has no roadmap do a thing they have a roadmap to do.

Also let’s be clear if the C919 actually works out they will be a serious competitor. The market for wide body aircraft is the one that captures all the imagination and attention but the narrow body sales are the bread and butter. They absolutely do not need to succeed in this market right away to put a big dent in the duopoly.

I think we've had this discussion a number of times on HN ( * ). Calling a certain driving mode "Autopilot" rather than "cruise control" sends a message. A lot, if not most people, perceive the message as being "self-driving car". The fact that Elon deemed fully autonomous self driving cars just around the corner a number of times certainly doesn't help. I personally lost track. Are we at full self-driving capability yet? Or is it in 2020? Should be any day now, right?

Just for entertainment, here's a headline from the Tesla website from 2016: "All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware" [1]. I know, in the post they make clear that the software is not there yet, but how many on HN (and on the internet in general) are not a little bit guilty of reading only the headlines?

No. Before investing money in solving a problem, you have to at least have some estimate of how severe the problem is, typically measured in dollars. We don't have that. Instead, we have people shouting "the end is neigh", which isn't actually a reason to take any action. I think the right approach is to do nothing about it until we have predictions. Then compare the cost of coping with the problem to the costs of preventions.

Google was the first installation I know of to silently swallow periods. Plus-addressing was well-known back in the day, but as far as I know GUI mailers more or less killed the practice by not offering support for it, and web sites written by people too smart to know how to validate email addresses ensured you can't even use them properly anymore.

What blows me away is that frequently my expected delivery date for Prime orders is next day. More often than not that leaves my packages handled by Amazon or one of their third party contractors. Greater than 75% of the time the package does not come on time. Often times it even turns into 3 days.

If using the established players means the buy button says arrives in 2 days and it arrives in 2 days then I would be SIGNIFICANTLY more satisfied with Prime. I haven’t read enough of the other comments yet to know if my experience is the norm but I really think Amazon would be better off abandoning this whole scheme and letting the pros handle it. It wouldn’t kill American consumers to wait another day.

As an Apple fan and a programming language nerd, I have basically no interest in ever using the language.

Wanting to avoid literal shit on a bus isn’t irrational. If it’s a common enough issue that it’s acknowledged as more than a one-off thing, it’s rational to want to avoid that.

And it’s not only wanting to avoid shit on a bus, but wanting to avoid people who have no concerns with shitting on a bus. They’re unpredictable.

I think you may underestimate how much human nature is more towards kindness and generosity. I think a lot of us have negative experiences in childhood and similar younger stages, and it causes us to be less kind, less generous as a sort of defense mechanism. When you realize that the defense mechanism isn't actually necessary, you realize there is more space for kindness, and maybe that is actually your authentic self beneath.
For the frontend I always use Nuxt, which is a server side rendered flavor of Vue. Vue just makes sense to me with how it handles markup, styling, and code in a single component’s scope. The only time I really make use of Vuex, the Vue solution for Redux, is if there’s user data that I need to share into other views.

For backend I’d want something either rock solid and fault tolerant like Elixir, or very speedy like Rust or even Go. Kind of depends if I’m doing this in my own or with others.

They're very different languages under the hood. Kotlin's biggest strength is also it biggest weakness relative to Swift– it's all built on the JVM. It gets great integration with the mature Java ecosystem, but it has Java's downsides as well.

On the server, the lack of JIT warmup & a smaller overall heap size could be differentiators for Swift, depending on the context.

Interesting take, to say the least.
Are you saying that you volunteered at a location which expressly served as a safe-injection or maintenance program site? Or a place where addicts clandestinely acquired and used heroin?

This discussion is about the former: is it a good idea to have safe injection or maintenance facilities at or near shelters? The consequences you are describing sound to me like symptoms of the latter, which are not widely described at actual safe injection or maintenance sites.
You can tell if it's the battery manufacturer or the phone manufacturer at fault because if it's the battery manufacturer then the same thing won't happen with the original batteries.

And how to ensure battery quality is a completely independent problem from whether you can buy a battery from someone other than who made your phone. There have been fires with original batteries and there have been third party batteries without any problems.

It's like 1975 AT&T arguing that you should have to buy an AT&T phone because it connects to the phone network. Of course they want you to buy theirs, the issue is that they shouldn't be able to require you to -- or there wouldn't be any iPhones to begin with.

Note that Unicode did add a "uppercase-ish" ß, as it does appear in German, but only in context of an all caps word e.g on a sign board, so captilazation of a whole word to SS and that new all caps ß are both correct (not sure if UNICODE changed the capitalization rules or just added that strange all caps ß)
The problem is now deeply entrenched, so I don't have perfect answers. But here are my guesses:

> Who (process-wise) is responsible for converting bytes to pixels?

The operating system, with minor exceptions (word processors, for example). Rendering logic is too complicated to be embedded into every application. And you get better accessibility and consistency.

> How do users on social media put in their name? How is it stored?

Keyboards, or their preferred input methods, and stored in UTF-8. I'm not saying to get rid of all strings, just don't use it for infrastructure.

> How do users get urls with specific usernames?

You don't, because that's how you get little Bobby FRACTION-SLASH. Also, if you have a valuable namespace like URLs, people will hack each other to get valuable names, but that's only tangentially related.

> Now take all that and multiply by the complexity of world languages, many which don't even map to one glyph == one morpheme. The ol' apple message crash bug was due to the property of some Arabic not being monotonic in rendering space vs string length.

That's exactly my point! You get this multiplied complexity when people try to peek into string contents instead of treating them like black boxes. Stop with the dangerous string operations and you now support usernames with zalgo-ed hieroglyphs if that's what users want.

> I think we could have skipped utf8 and just gone to 4byte runes. But even then, that would not have avoided the above bug.

> Utf16 is a hot mess though, worst of all worlds.

Agreed with UTF-16. I like UTF-8, and I honestly think it solved our encoding problems for non-legacy applications. Everyone should be using it, as long as the contents are for human consumption only.
I'll believe it when I see independent tests.
async factory methods for stuff the API requires me to keep around, but the same API requires my objects to be constructed synchronously. (This includes stuff in .NET) C++ doesn't have async as a language construct. (yet. I dread the day.)

IDispose. We have an ecosystem where a nonnegligible number of in flight objects need to manually be disposed of. In C++, RAII takes care of this for us.

Un listening to events. Needs to happen manually in the standard .NET listeners. C++ solves this with weak_ptr. C# could solve this with a better standard library, but we have .NET.

Honorable mention (not lifetime, but the deadlock quagmire that is C# and its half async half synchronous standard library) is WritableBitmap, which is impossible to use correctly, and has not been deprecated or had a safe replacement offered.

C++ surprises me in ways I expect to be surprised. C# surprises me in ways that leaves me confused and perplexed.

I have been substantially inconvenienced by people who are homeless. I live down the street from a soup kitchen, and I got scabies after someone apparently spent the night in my unlocked car. But obviously any inconvenience I experience pales in comparison to their suffering on the streets.
