It’s like someone saw how much the is-odd/is-even (yes one of those first two depends on the other and just returns the inverse with !) packages are downloaded per week and said “hold my beer”

Of course they don’t hold a candle to “is-number” which has 29M/week

Of course this is completely unrepresentative of reality because “yolo just install dependencies at deployment” may mean it’s downloaded 5 or 10 or 50 times for a high traffic site/service with a bunch of backend installations.

Last year we had a management meeting and somehow started talking about smoking. Someone suggested we should ban people from smoking because they are wasting company's time.I defended the smokers arguing these are usually much needed breaks for those on the phones. Then I went on explaining that I could literally sit outside the office all day and just talk to my colleague and smoke one after another and It will be a productive day for us.They were taken back for a bit by such arguments,but then I explained that we get paid for using our brains and if it takes 5 hours to sit outside and think how to do it and then jump back on the keyboard and write code in 2 hours that implements this idea,then that's what it is. Everyone agreed and we moved on from the topic:)

> 1. The vast majority of web developers/IT people/etc. aren't really knowledgeable enough to make the call whether something actually needs to be encrypted.
> 2. Just because your system doesn't need HTTPS now, doesn't mean it never will

The web... used to be a place where people, companies, and organizations shared linkable information publicly. The whole point was to make a massive web of interlinked information. If your goal is to contribute to this web, the cost of entry was to buy a DNS name and push out your content on an inexpensive server.

The modern web has greatly degraded this experience and HTTPS adds friction and implementation costs which degrades it even more so more and more information which used to be easily shared and accessible becomes trapped in FaceBook and other walled gardens.

> 3. Even if you don't need encryption for yourself, do it for everyone else who does need encryption.

I get this, but understand that lots of small organizations and private individuals aren't going to pony up the time/ money to bridge over to the fully encrypted web and will just become nodes on FaceBook or other large sites where hosting is "burden-free".

The open web is more or less a memory already and this is just another nail in the coffin.

Same deal with "infocenter": https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/infocenter/eyJ3IjogIm...

Granted, I don't know if it's technically a dictionary word, but I've definitely seen it in technical contexts.
It seems to me that this game doesn't actually take in account all the seemingly existing light sources when computing the shadows: see for instance at around 7:45, there is an obvious light source in the bottom right region (actually a bunch of synchronized pulsating lights on some sort of cylinders) which clearly should affect the surfaces close to it, but it doesn't in either mode! In the next comparison, there's a fire burning close to a wall, and likewise the fire doesn't seem to emit any light on the wall. Actually, the commentators do mention that there isn't that much dynamic lights handled in the game, limiting the effect of RTX.

I don't know how that RTX tech is working, but from what I've seen of the port of Quake2, it looked much more convincing - did you see it before making that judgement?
Am I missing something here? The experience is basically the same as the best available in JavaScript/TypeScript, how is it "nastier" or even "nasty" at all?

Also Clojure is doing just fine, not sure what you mean by "dying". The core and the tooling continue to improve, there are lots of libraries, more people writing than ever. I just don't see this death you're describing.

The comments here just strike me as ignorant and incoherent as a whole. Why do people who clearly have no experience actually trying to do something in Clojure have so much to say about it?

Clojure may support things that look daunting to you, but if you actually had any goal other than critiquing the variety of things you actually have no use for, you would not have the difficulties you describe.

Maybe I'm spoiled, I remember JDK setup being a pain on Windows a decade ago when I used it last, if that's the problem then I get it. My spoiled experience on a system with a functioning package manager is basically install-and-go, and
zero configuration required to get CIDER going after that.

I just don't get what's so bad about it, it's basically the same experience as Rust with Cargo; is that another "nasty" experience? What language with package manager has a better experience?
Apparently Chipotle has white-labeled delivery through their app. You just choose order for delivery in the app and it looks like ordering off Pizza Hut or something. But once the order is placed and you get into tracking, you do see a thing that says it's "Powered By Door Dash."

It will be interesting to see if any of the big chains can force the delivery suppliers to allow multiple integrations, and Chipotle lets the lowest bidder deliver your food. Ultimately I think that's the next step. It doesn't make sense that there's a super special delivery driver who works for Pizza Hut. A better solution is to have multiple delivery providers delivering food and other goods for everyone. I think people would be surprised to find out how much generic delivery work there is to be done. Like every car garage has one or more parts delivery services. And these are mostly people in regular cars delivering your particular car's brake pads from a warehouse to the auto shop. Why can't Uber, or Door Dash, or whatever deliver that too?
No, in reality VCs are eating the loss (real loss, not less profit) in hopes of higher returns later when everybody needs to order via this food-delivery service due to the rest being bankrupt.

They've rebuilt their browser from scratch and are re-adding the APIs. It makes total sense to prioritize the most frequently used ones now and expand to the other ones later on.

> The other opportunity is the tabs permission. This permission lets extensions see what tabs are open. Pushbullet uses this permission to avoid opening new tabs for websites that are already open when mirrored notifications are clicked. This is a small sacrifice to make to let go of a big permission. Let’s let it go!

No, that "small sacrifice" sounds super annoying! I don't use Pushbullet, but if I did and this got removed in an update, I'd be pissed off! At least leave it behind an optional checkbox.
Is Unreal Engine at all related to Future Crew's Unreal in 1992?
I'm not clear on the exact reasons, but I think some people see it as "Python with S-expressions" rather than "Lisp". I think it's because Janet does not use lists implemented with cons cells and historically that's just what Lisp always used. (Janet uses arrays instead.) But by that logic Clojure isn't a Lisp, if has no cons cells...

Another criteria used is homoiconicity.

I think the argument is about if a language satisfies the historical definition of "Lisp" rathen than being a Lisp-inspired language with parens.
>Do you live at home still?

That's a curious question. Don't most people live "at home"? I'm guessing you mean "do you live with your parents still". Do most people consider their parent's house(s) "home" even after they move out? I sure don't.
I think for both of these companies, the path to profitability is eventually cutting out the human aspect for automated delivery. Self-driving cars is a good vision for the business and a very end-result. And for food delivery, I'm seeing more of those robotic carts that contain food driving around sidewalks in the Bay Area.
I think it's far from a good spirited joke. It's clearly gone too far and is causing real harm to real people.

That's often the fall out of these 4chan esk dark humour groups.

Generally these groups also pull in the genuinely hate filled as well.

Also to say it's only creates for humour doesn't justify it's existence. It's does make it a very different beast than a genuine white supremacist group.

It's different because these people are rage farmers. They want articles like this. They want their actions to cause outrage. They want them to be noticed. To them that's the goal. The goal is not to be exposed as a group of immature idiots causing real harm. These are like school children that carve swastikas on their desk just because they know they shouldn't.
> I wonder though if Erlang might have been a footnote in programming history if it weren't for the mindshare that OTP generated.

It absolutely would be. There's plenty of "simple FP languages" out there. OTP is very definitely the main selling point of Erlang, and nowadays of Elixir as well.
Or, to phrase it differently: their technical problem, your financial problem.

I still don't think that sector can make money the way its currently structured. Unless the customer pays for the delivery themselves and the delivery stops taking a cut from the restaurant money, I don't see it really making sense. Sure there is a boom right now but it will zag the other way as soon as the shelter in place guidelines are lifted or when the vaccine comes out. Then, people would want to go out. This is the time for these companies to change user expectations and behavior.
Valid point, for sure.
That doesn't make it not explicitly racist and white supremacist. If you set fire to a synagogue and then explained it was just to trigger the libs, do you think that would make it less of an anti-Semitic act?
It may be that people with low Vitamin D are low because of a combination of their skin tone and the amount of sunlight they get. This causes them to also be low on Nitric Oxide. You see the low Vitamin D as a marker, but it might not be the true cause.

The shelter in place is causing people to get less sunlight, so until we know more, I'd focus on getting more sun.

Is there enough demand for non-standard food types (I have to imagine more folks get pizza delivered, than say, sushi) for each restaurant to maintain their own group of drivers?

Not saying the end result has to look like uber eats, etc, but there do seem to be efficiencies from having X drivers collectively cover Y restaurants, with X << Y
If the threat model is random exploits, they can still do that. Heartbleed etc have shorn that even the TLS stack itself can contain catastrophic vulnerabilities, so it's likely there will show up more in the future.

Quite possibly, if one shows one's work on how one arrived at that statement (statistics can be bloody slippery things, and while individual data points are facts, the analysis, interpretation, and summarization of them starts to wander away from "fact," especially when one begins to do curve fitting or assumptions about population distributions).

And if one runs with that fact alone and tries to build behaviors on it, one's likely to fall into a similar trap to the one the phrenologists fell into: assuming that a single fact is descriptive enough of the world to dictate theory or practice.

The jurisdiction language basically excludes parents with diplomatic immunity, under current rules, not other people flying above the US regardless of the aircraft's country of registration or any other status attributes of the parents.

In practice, what I said above is well-settled legal and administrative practice in the US, whether or not the constitutional words could have been interpreted or differently by Congress and/or the courts.

US authorities receiving proof of birth above the US and lacking reason to suspect parental diplomatic immunity certainly will and actually do grant proof of US citizenship, no further argument needed once the location of birth is documented.

> I hope the developer finds another load of permissions they can tighten up, resubmits, and is approved.

You're missing the point here. The developer isn't given any guidance on what needs tightening. This shouldn't be guess and check. These rules impact this developer's livelihood. They should be well defined, documented, and communicated.

Ask HN: How open source contributions helped you land a job
So I have been consuming hackernews daily. I have seen many great open source projects that were shared on hackernews and I have even used those project. but the real question is how open source contributions helped you land a job at your dream company or just in general.

I got indigogo, which amusingly is the (slightly changed) name of a real service.
We use localhost to communicate with our desktop application which is commonly installed alongside our extension by users.

An example of how we use this communication channel is preventing both our extension and desktop apps from showing notifications on the same computer. Our apps are all about notifications so this would get unacceptable very fast. We ping our local desktop app via localhost to see if it can manage the notification, and show it with our extension if it isn't running.

Maybe if we limit it to just the local port we use? Seems like it can't hurt to try that too.
To sort of answer my own question, there is one more "leak" I forgot about - array bounds are unchecked https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/11122, which can give you `undefined` (though not `null`) without it being reflected in the type of the expression. Similar for objects with arbitrary keys (i.e. maps/dictionaries/etc.) https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/13778.

E.g. `const a = [1, 2, 3]` will let you do `a[5]` and still give it type `number` instead of `number|undefined` as mentioned in the github issue. Many other languages also do this (though they have runtime checks/errors).

So that kinda sucks, but the rest still stands (there is still no practically realistic way for `null` or anything other than `undefined` to get there). Hopefully they'll fix that in the future with a new compiler setting.
