It’s not really the same as a learning tool, but Google has FlutterPad [0] which is an online playground for Flutter app development.

Which if you’ve never played with, it’s extremely easy to see how Flutter and Dart work. Most online tutorials can be completed right in FlutterPad. So Google does know people want this, just seem to care more about other things right now.

I stand corrected. I didn't read far enough to know that this was Catalyst.
I particularly like the author's heirachy of information value. It applies to what individuals should be reading too. But I would probably seperate blogs/articles into "clickbait" and "serious" and put the latter category equal with books. It's important to be very selective with your internet resources, most of the internet reguritates information in a continous and boring cycle, while select corners push novel content and engaging ideas.

What does the author mean by "CRS"? Coordinate Reference Systems?

This is our MVP and we have only demo modules right now. We'll be launched in 2 weeks. There'll be embeded videos and more features such as goals and progress bar.

If you leave your mail from site or send me a mail at firat@jooseph.com I would be happy to reach you when we launch.
Looks cool and all, I was actually pretty sold the moment you started to talk about the editor. However, I still don't know what your editor actually does.

You ended the article abruptly and maybe expect people to click the link and go to your website to learn more? A bit more introduction is needed for your call-to-action to work. You can't just say "I made an editor" without at least listing the key features.

Other than that, good luck.
I'd strongly recommend having two: Nationwide as your base and a challenger for international wires/multi currency (I use revolut but there are lots of others).

Sure, let me just go download some more RAM. It's not like it's a finite resource in my machine or anything.
Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests is a bit old, but still a very nice book to read: https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Object-Oriented-Software-Guid...
I've always loved C# but can't quite get past having to target specific .net frameworks and keeping the different frameworks in my different servers straight and targeting each of them differently. Maybe that'll change with .net core (and once I'm able to get that on my servers), but for now I've discovered a personal love for Go as a way around this for my small utilities.
There's also a good chance that your change would break some assumptions/guarantees of AES, perhaps fatally (e.g. the result could be that your result only depends on just a few bits of the key).

True, if your threat model is exclusively future untargetted attacks ,your algorithm may be safer,but that is not a commonly accepted threat model I think, even for terrorists or banks.
> being coerced to kill someone with a gun to your own head

no such thing.

> There was a widespread conviction that it is impossible to withstand temptation of any kind, that none of us could be trusted or even be expected to betrustworthy when the chips are down, that to be tempted and to be forced are almost the same, whereas in the words of Mary McCarthy, who first spotted this fallacy: "If somebody points a gun at you and says,'Kill your friend or I will kill you,' he is tempting you, that is all." And while a temptation where one's life is at stake may be a legal excuse for a crime, it certainly is not a moral justification.

how did this end up here? there is no blog in the address, i dont know the person, a google search doesnt show anything from the domain. So either the author or someone with direct communication posted it (for what reason?)

Love the idea of this because I believe it has been demonstrated that group hires remove a lot of biases and helps diversity. However, I am skeptical because it reduces the employers poll drastically.
I don't think it is a technical thing.

You're paying a percentage of your income, if you're making above a threshold. This is in comparison to debt which has interest that makes the debt increase over time until paid off - regardless of whether you are employed in a well paying job or even whether you're employed at all.

Yes, under both system money is being paid back to someone. But crucially, there's no interest with an ISA. And furthermore, no money is taken until people get a job that pays a certain amount.
Is this thread being hidden and if so, why?
Tim Sweeney, creator of Unreal Engine, Epic Megagames, etc, recently had a code base where exceptions were causing problems even when not actively being thrown:

https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/122307740466037145...

Quoting him in a follow up tweet:

>They weren’t throwing and a disassembly showed no visible artifacts of exceptions. But turning off the possibility of throwing exceptions gained 15% and just made the assembly code tighter with no clear pattern to the improvements.
(quoting desc)
sigh
(end quote)

Exceptions make your code faster in the non-exceptional case.

See all those if-branches for error checks that don't exist in your code? That branch-free code is going to run faster than your branchy code. And the code's shorter, because it doesn't have the checks and handling intermixed, which makes it fit better into cache.

This isn't rocket science, I'm amazed that this isn't obvious.
I don't agree with your assessment of those events. 3 letter services had very little control over the process of dissolution, and their attempt to stop it (the GKChP putsch) was met with decisive resistance.

Of course, in most republics local elites have cleverly kept the reigns of power in their hands, but those were the Party officials, not KGB officers. I think that Russia is the only ex-USSR country where KGB managed to seize complete control. Others are democracies (Baltic countries and, arguably, Georgia and Ukraine, maybe even Armenia), authoritarian states (Belarus, Russia) and a number of sultanates.
So, if you don't have the decoder ...?

How about if you have it but never used it, so you have the index but never expanded Pi that far, or doing the expansion would take longer than the age of the Universe, say?

So, how about if you never viewed the 'file' from the Blockchain, aren't we creeping gradually towards saying that would be fine too. Of course the law has elements necessary for practical enforcement too which we generally ignore when waxing philosophical.

> I’m not justifying them, actively supporting a corrupt system is a corrupt thing to do

Ok, I'll justify them. There is almost no chance that anyone in the saga decided to do the evil thing because they wanted to watch the world burn. Not the government policy makers nor the police who carried out their orders. Every person is doing what they believe is the right thing. Some of the people were mistaken. With the benefit of hindsight we can see that Li Wenliang was not mistaken.

How many SARS II hoaxes has the government stomped on that we never heard about. How many doctors or patients in a nation of ~billion people have misidentified an outbreak of the common cold as "the next SARS" in the last 17 years. They aggressively stamp out the embers of a rumor before it gets going and becomes a raging fire of panic. This time the government erred, it wasn't a misidentification, the virus was real. They aren't evil or corrupt or murderous. They are fallible humans and they make a mistake.
All other things being equal, I'd prefer a real window. But another thing I'd prefer is being able to look forward instead of to the side.

If they replaced a real window with some kind of system that showed different angles (forward, maybe also downward), that might be a net improvement to me.
Speaking for some of those domains, we start finding a new place to put our portfolio.
Here's a question I've always had: why February?

December 32nd would be much more sensible.

I visited Apple store to get wife an Apple watch ( I tried to dissauade her, but it was what she wants ) and played with the Playground toys.

Neither my brother's nor my cousin's kids are ready age-wise, but it seemed like a ton of fun. I would love to be a kid today.
I would love to see the results for increasingly values of randomRange. This is just benchmarking the case when you throw exceptions 50% of the time.
I’d call that “safe” rather than “secure”. To me, “secure” implies that the target remains safe even against a motivated adversary, not that it just happens to be safe because no such adversary happens to exist. Semantics aside, it just isn’t that hard to gain unauthorized entry into most homes.
I'm just taking issue with the quoted claim at face value, outside of the context. Consider for example, the legality of jury duty, conscription, subpoenas, taxation, traffic stops, etc. Government-compelled actions are common and legal.
A year or so ago they introduced a bug (was it with the Quantum release) that Firefox would eat huge amounts of CPU (basically pegged at 100%) if used on MacOS with a scaled resolution.

Any idea if there has been any progress on this issue?
Last time I tried a few months ago it still wasn't fixed.
Why do you link to forum entries from dlang on a c++ exception topic? Is the implementation identical or at least somewhat similar?
The problem with benchmarks is that I never see any that estimate the impact of the extra code size on programs the size of, say, Photoshop. It takes annoying long to load such a program. Is code size part of that problem? Probably. Is the bloat added by exceptions significant? I'd like to know.
Some people have been claiming copyright on algorithmic outputs. Wolfram is one such prominent example. I don't know if it's ever been challenged, but he does claim all output of Alpha is copyrighted to him.
I guess my question is more focused on whether a person can copyright something they created that was created by something else previously. So, if a musician creates a melody and then later finds that same melody was previously recorded on an album from the 1990's can they still copyright their melody? Does it matter whether the 1990's recording was machine-generated melodies or human-generated ones?
you can inline external SVG files with SVG injection. Works pretty well and almost feels like working with normal images. Here is an open source SVG injector: https://github.com/iconfu/svg-inject
Nice list. It'd be nice to have a few more filters though.
Ask HN: Would you leave a comfortable corporate job for career growth?
I spent the last 3 years (post-college) working in a very cushy corporate job. The culture is super laid back: Unlimited PTO, extremely flexible hours, work from home whenever and even a ping pong table haha. The only issue is that my actual work doesn't excite me all, in fact, it's kinda boring. Also, career growth in this company is very slow. I would essentially be in the same position for another three years at best. Also, my salary is about 10K less than what I would make elsewhere. Am I crazy for looking for other stuff or should I just appreciate where I'm at?
yes! Microsoft and Android products have sort of done this in the past, but didn't do well in the market or the user/dev experience was not great.
TMobile-Sprint merger approved by US judge
My collaborator and I create animation art with SVG (he is the animator, and I'm the composer/video editor, though we work together on the overall concept).

Some samples of our work here: https://vimeo.com/user1776782

Thing is, he doesn't use the animation facilities of SVG, because he can't get it to do the extremely complex things he wants to do with it (honestly, his XML/XSLT/SVG chops are not really in question here). Instead, he has a (gigantic) system that renders individual frames using XSLT, and then stitches it together with ffmpeg. His SVG files are already constantly pushing up against the abilities of tools like Batik, and for XSLT, there's really only one fully compliant tool in town (Saxon).

I find it kind of amazing that there aren't better tools out there for SVG -- and frankly, for XML. The fast tools (imagemagick, rsvg, libxslt) aren't compliant, and the compliant ones aren't fast (they're all in Java and very resource intensive).

Despite the fact that all of this uses open standards, it can sometimes feel as if we're working in the next Flash.
I’m often annoyed with people that leaves them open when the sun is right there. Blinds me and makes it nearly impossible to watch anything on the screen.
Because it's got the least number of days, so adding one brings it closer the the average? But then I'm going to be curious as to why it only has 28/29 days.

A month with 32 days would just be introducing a new anomaly instead of making an existing one less so.
True - I don't think so. There are regulatory assurances that they ringfence the money and you should be able to get it all back should they go under, but yeah I would be wary of using them as the only place to keep my money or substantial sums. They are super useful for receiving and sending money to/from different countries though, reasonabble fees.
OP here on this comment chain.

I'm a front end and back end developer that uses multiple libraries and tech stacks and need to find answers to stuff immediately. I leave them open as a resource while I'm working, which may be on multiple things at once. In addition, I have mail, messaging, music, and other work-related things open in the browser.

It's really one of the only features that matters.
If you look at GDP per capita figures for China vs. India, they were mostly comparable until about 1990 (India was actually slightly in the lead): https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?end=1990...

After 1990, China really took off: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?location...

Of course China didn't suddenly turn authoritarian in 1990, so this is not a democracy vs. authoritarianism issue. Rather, it's that the authoritarian decided to change the way they were doing things. (Deng Xiaoping's "reform and opening up".)

That's something I gotta ask on my way to my next job. My company is extremely conservative in every meaning of the word, and is not unlike patio11's description of Japanese megacorps in mannerisms.

"What happened the last time production went down?" should produce a quite illuminating answer. Do they go through a detailed root-cause analysis? Do they answer with marketing-speak meant for a legally minimal disclosure? Do they blame "that moron" whom I'm meant to replace?

As it stands here, the official corporate policy is everything happens perfectly until someone who shouldn't be there messes things up, and the problem is best solved with a public and angry firing letter. Quoth our business partner: "We're allowed to change our minds, but you're not allowed to be in error. Even if we give you bad data, you're expected to infer proper data and give us proper output. BTW we're not paying for testing"

The evidence is that iPad Swift Playgrounds compiles to native code.
I wonder how much of that was locality vs shifting standards. I recall antitrust receiving a defacto softening of standards by going from business impact to consumer impact (there are some things to debate there since effectively any merger which makes them more competitive would technically count some).

Essentially locality means Exxon and Mobil can merge but not the only two gas stations in town. Speaking of which I remember a few gas station chain mergers resulting in closing of gas stations at an intersection not because they were redundant but laws against the same owner having separate gas stations within a certain distance.
Back in 2013 the game magazine Polygon created really stunning illuminations in their Playstation 4 and Xbox One reviews. It's what got my interested in the more advanced uses of SVG and CSS -- it uses a clever trick where it uses the bezier curves as paths that are then filled in by offsetting the stroke fill... here it is.

How does one inspect WAMP payloads in the browser? I played with the demo app that syncs the position of a remote cursor with a local one, generating >100 state updates in the process. I was curious what those messages consisted of, but the Dev Tools Network tab didn't log any network events besides an initial "ws" asset of indefinite "(pending)" duration.
Wasn't this just top of the front page? Now it's not even on like page 5? What gives?

Is there admin over-ride to what's on the front page and did this get censored?
I'm very much in this camp. Two weeks ago, my 6 member family took a flight on Frontier, one of the discount airlines, from Philadelphia to South Florida. The seats didn't even recline! But don't take that as a complaint, the fact that we paid $611.79 for 6 round trip tickets (and 2 checked bags) makes up for the slightly less comfortable trip and no pretzels.

Fares like that make flying possible for so many more people now. If we had to pay $200 or even $300/ticket (instead of $100) it would have made the trip unaffordable.

>Not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that purely algorithmically generated music isn't copyrightable.

As far as I can tell, that's not always true. For now it seems largely context-specific, provided that a human wrote the software generating the output. There's a relatively well-known legal case of someone writing numerological software to generate eschatological texts, where the texts themselves were found to be copyrightable.

The USPTO is currently soliciting comments on whether and under what circumstances AI-generated outputs should be copyrightable [1].

> Yours in calendrical heresy,

Can anybody explain this signoff?
There's no IP war coming over facts derived from books because copyright doesn't cover facts derived from books and the other forms of IP (trademarks, patents) are even less relevant.

I've done some work with corpus linguistics and quantitative linguistics, and large parts of these disciplines essentially are about facts derived from books in some manner. Modern approaches tend to involve machine learning, deep neural networks and other things fashionable on hackernews, but in general that's an old, traditional area that was working on facts derived from books for decades before the "ML era".

To work on facts derived from books, we're sourcing all kinds of books and other written language, such as newspapers. Some publishers and authors are cooperative and helpful for such research, some are uncooperative and prefer to intentionally make working on their sources difficult - but in any case, even in the case of disagreement and conflict there's no "IP war", the conflict in our case tends to be about practical convenience of access, not about IP, because they don't really have a leg to stand on in claiming a copyright violation. They hold the copyright on the original text, which gives them certain exclusive rights, there's a bunch of intermediary data that we can't make available to public without their permission, but these rights don't extend to facts derived from that text, and we legally don't need their permission to work on, analyze, transform, publish and use stuff based on facts in the text or facts about the text, we can do that openly even if they've explicitly made it clear that they don't want us to do that. That's nothing new, that's established law that probably predates modern computers.
I’m with you. I don’t buy the lack of UK license argument. Surely they can apply for one and get it approved in time—just like other banks will have to. But it might have not been worth the time given the small user base and limited differentiation factors.

Ask HN: What are some mechanisms you use to deliver things as a team?
I work on a team of about 12 people and we have a well defined roadmap. However, whatever processes we follow—sprints, daily scrum etc., don't seem to contribute much towards advancing the roadmap effectively. What are some processes/mechanisms that you follow to be effective in terms of just completing the tasks that you set to complete over weeks/months?
DigitalOcean certainly is great, I'm using it too, but it's still far more work running your stuff there vs Heroku.
Check out the godbolt link I posted under desc's thread. The answer isn't that obvious. Both approaches have a conditional. The compiler/linker marks the exception handling code as cold. In theory this could go in a section of the exe that the loader never pages into RAM. (I'm getting out of my depth here).

How to upgrade from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Linux – Desktop tour and applications
The problem is that the "just" is an unsolvable problem.

Your phone and to some extent tablet are limited screen estate with the finger as the primary method of interaction.

Your desktop is nearly unlimited screen estate with high precision input methods (mouse and keyboard).

The "just different UIs" mean "entirely different UIs tailored to specific interactions and completely changing behaviour of an app in all but the simplest cases"
What I was seeing was the same in both cases. Firefox would be using the same amount of RAM either running by itself or alongside Ableton Live (and the performance of Ableton Live would suffer).

Perhaps plausible deniability around selling data? If you outright sell data, that is illegal, but if your app "leaks" data maybe it is harder to prove malfeasance and instead say "negligence"?
