Doing TCP from a "native" JS app should be pretty easy[1] (caveat: I haven't tried.) I'd think the cost of running a proxy server would be enough motivation to figure this out, for any developer whose primary reason is as simple as technical difficulties with JS and TCP. I think it more likely the other responses such as doing heavy indexing that won't work as nicely on the clients.

This is VERY interesting research.

I'm in the process of testing out a new, faster way of teaching programming that uses an associative method called 'constructivism'.

Instead of assuming no similar knowledge when teaching a new language or framework, we try to leverage the knowledge of similar languages and frameworks that you already have to build a new knowledge structure, and ultimately teach faster.

I expand on this idea more here: https://fromtoschool.com/why-most-programming-tutorials-are-...

> Most of the time, those “things” are dumb business logic applications that can’t explore the hypermedia to discover new functionality and furthermore are not designed to do anything with it anyway.

Dumb business logic is not the point. One of the benefits of HATEOAS is that it allows REST clients to be loosely coupled with REST services, in a way that APIs can change freely change (i.e., change endpoints around, break away functionalities into other services, etc.) without requiring clients to be updated under the penalty of breaking compatibility.

The main reason why no one does REST and everyone does RPC-over-HTTP is that while REST clients require tracking and updating state to support service discovery, RPC-over-HTTP just requires a single HTTP request to achieve the same purpose, albeit without the resilience and future-proof.
One can be a tiny bit more charitable and say many of them provide a nearly worthless service (slapping your manuscript on their fly-by-night website) while misrepresenting themselves as providing a much more valuable service (peer review, dissemination to an audience that actually reads their journal, etc) and charging accordingly (thousands of dollars per manuscript).

Perhaps it's arguable whether that is to be called a scam, but certainly it is a rip-off.
Not exactly a fair comparison, and dodging the point. Use a hydrogen generator if you prefer. Or a battery for that matter (as indeed our cars are headed). Point is it might be easier to be self-reliant (calculated local storage) than contrive a secondary power delivery pathway.
> If you take a photo of someone and don’t obtain their permission to use it aren’t you violating their right to privacy, which is clearly secured by the forth amendment?

If you are in a public place you do not have a right to privacy. You are in public and a photographer has a right to photograph and publish your photo without permission (with certain exceptions like accidental nudity). Any pictures taken in public can be used without permission, even for most commercial activities.
Ask HN: Improving Data Quality for Addresses
I am currently working on improving data quality of global postal addresses that we store. It has turned out to be a lot harder problem to solve than I had originally imagined owing to no standardized format for addresses. I am leaning towards using ML to solve it but cant figure out a way to do that. Can forum members share their experiences if they have solved such problems in the past. I would also appreciate being pointed to some ML/DL research papers/ techniques talking about similar stuff

I’m an ER doc, it’s unclear to me how many of these excess deaths are due to covid, or due to the covid lockdown. I am sure that many are due to covid, but patients avoiding hospital due to the worry about covid, cancelling surgeries, and delaying chemotherapy adversely affects health too. The US government paying for covid care is also a positive step for society, but it does have the effect that patients who have no covid symptoms but have a positive screening test who die of non-covid pathology will end up being labelled a covid death in order to maximize the hospital and physician reimbursement.
Thanks for the detailed answer. I guess the word “communication” threw me off.
I'm a little surprised at the flack you're getting.

I'm with you though. If I have personal obligations, I shouldn't feel any pressure to help out a coworker by working later than normal with no additional incentive just because they have children and I don't. And if I decline to help out that coworker, I shouldn't be publicly shamed.
Sure but the interactions aren't occasional over Facebook, they are pretty regular, in fact it's the whole concept of the platform to constantly share that data to your friend group.

Sure it could be only accessed when you friend request it, but then it goes over a whole lot of performance issue and complex infrastructure, all that over something you voluntarily decided to publish... while not having any advantage. Facebook still has access to that data either way. You still have to believe their pinky sweare they won't do anything bad with it.

I would agree with anything sensitive, like banks information, medical information, etc... Things that make sense to pay for an actual regular audit, but for a social network like Facebook... that become completely absurd.

Is it possible to factor (e.g. GRI) sustainability criteria into the portfolio fitness function? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21922558

My concern is that - like any other portfolio optimization algorithm - blindly optimizing on fundamentals and short term returns will lead to investing in firms who just dump external costs onto people in the present and future; so, screening with sustainability criteria is important to me.

Google’s official statement admitted to collecting payload data from unsecured WiFi networks but said it was a mistake from including a library with extraneous code. [1]

The statement also linked to a third-party analysis of the relevant code which concluded: [2]

“Gslite is an executable program that captures, parses, and writes to disk 802.11 wireless frame data. In particular, it parses all frame header data and associates it with its GPS coordinates for easy storage and use in mapping network locations. The program does not analyze or parse the body of Data frames, which contain user content. The data in the Data frame body passes through memory and is written to disk in unparsed format if the frame is sent over an unencrypted wireless network, and is discarded if the frame is sent over an encrypted network.”

> If that's so, why doesn't starbucks, with all it's money and resources become better than local coffee shops

A local coffee shop optimises along a very parameters (let's say taste only) at the expense of scale, cost and other parameters. A Starbucks has to optimise quite a few other parameters but each of these parameters won't be at the levels that local coffee shops do. Remember, another thing a listed company like SBUX has to optimise is shareholder wealth so that constraint drives the rest of the optimisations.

On a related note, refer this[0] article by Joel on quality and scale. Here's a sampler:

Are you sure you didnt spell "China cloud" and "Huawei" wrong? /s

Just because we (Germans, Europeans) are culturally closer to Americans and share certain values does not mean that we should have a double standard on our external affairs.

Exactly. I'm constantly surprised how many companies carelessly upload all their internal documents to Google Docs, S3, Dropbox, GitHub, Slack et al. I'd suggest that anything that's not supposed to be public never be uploaded to such services, specially if you are not from the US.

I’m also a huge fan of Lynch’s Dune. Lynch, I would say, probably hates the movie because of memories of industry drama and studio pressure- more to do with having had a bad experience than the movie being actually terrible. It also almost killed his career in a way. I wonder if he had a desire to work on more big budget films in the mainstream like Spielberg throughout his career and perhaps Dune was the film which ended those dreams. Guy has like three of four legit towering masterpieces (not including twin Peaks)so his career was great despite things but I do wonder what kinds of movies he’d have ended up making if Dune was a success or if he never made Dune after The (very nearly perfect film) Elephant Man.

High concept sci-fi is consistent box office poison and while this new version of Dune looks good, and I want to see it, I don’t think it will set the world on fire. It seems to feel like YA fiction more than I’d like it to be and borrows heavily, stylistically, from Lynch’s Dune but doesn’t seem to have the same design impact as the original. The YA tone in the trailer for me feels like studio meddling. But we’ll see how good the actual movie is. Blade Runner 2 was a fine film but not quite a home run and I expect the same from Dune.
Multiple implementations suck because implementors rarely aim for full compliance, and now you have to have as many code paths as there are implementations to account for the differences between them. Best to have a single implementation that everybody agrees on -- like the winner of the graphics API wars, Direct3D.
> These concepts were developed for the web. Not APIs on the web, but HTTP itself.

This assertion is just plain wrong. REST is an architectural principle focused on providing APIs for web services, and Roy Fielding was quite vocal in making it extremely clear that there is nothing in REST that is HTTP-specific, let alone makes it tied to HTTP. REST is an architectural style that relied on the concept of resources, which should be linkable. That's it.

Semi true. Most GDPR regulators are extremely understaffed, and so they only act reactively, when either a company's practices become part of a large public debate or when there is a complaint filed.

Vulkan runs on Windows , only runs outside sandbox model and doesn't support RDP sessions, because ICD OpenGL driver model isn't supported in such scenarios.

ICD OpenGL drivers are also not supported on Windows ARM variants.

Microsoft is driving the effort of OpenGL and related technology on top of DirectX instead.

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/in-the-works-opencl-a...

Also so far there is no Vulkan on PlayStation, and while Switch does support Vulkan/OpenGL 4.5, most titles are either using middleware like Unity (ca 50% of Switch titles) or NVN.
And you won't have to build one storage instances for the US, one for the EU, one for China, and one for every single country that decide that their privacy regulation are superior than others countries...?

Facebook can have a pretty big team to engineer that kind of infrastructure, while the startup won't have that luxury. It's even worse when you need to go through a lawyer to make sure every single regulations are followed to the letter.
I think the person you responded to was comparing OpenGL to Vulkan middleware wrappers from the perspective of API usage. From that angle, whether or not OpenGL drivers are provided at all is completely irrelevant. The API itself will presumably remain available, implemented under the hood via Zink (or similar) on top of Vulkan (or DirectX, or Metal, etc). Such an arrangement is likely to be more stable than middleware that can change overnight at the whims of it's developers.
Here is what I can't figure out. What would have to happen in Portland for the protestors to stop protesting? What would represent success? I honestly don't know. Am I wrong to think that most residents of Portland would like their community to go back to some sort of "normal" peaceful routine? How can that happen if there is a minority of residents who have a perpetual veto on returning to "normal"? And even if the demonstrations stopped and therefore the police reaction to demonstrations stopped, doesn't "normal" policing have to happen? What type of policing would be accepted by those who are protesting?

At this point if people really think Apple is a bully and want to do something out it, pull your apps out of App Store. Better yet do an over the air update letting the users know how much of a bully Apple is.

If a significant % of apps protest, then Apple has to bend down. Apple isn’t with much if they don’t have the developer and customer mindshare.

Microsoft lost the mobile market because they couldn’t make a viable AppStore. Those Nokia phones were fantastic but the apps were very subpar.

No. A Swedish citizen is, in general, free to go wherever they want on Swedish soil, including private property. This is protected by the Swedish constitution and one of the oldest base laws[0].

>figure from the NSA who illegally spied on Americans

I like the way you included just 'Americans', may be because it's just the domestic spying which is against U.S. law, may be because you thought 'spied on Americans' hits harder for an American reader than just 'spied on everyone'.

But, for someone outside USA or China; there's absolutely no difference between U.S. tech or Chinese Tech w.r.t Privacy, what U.S. does privately, China does openly and that's not limited to just spying.

One day another of Saroyan’s friends, the poet Ted Berrigan, got a look at his latest one-word poem, eyeye, on a sheet of typewriter paper. “He said, ‘What the fuck is this?’” Saroyan recalls, “which I thought was a promising response.”

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/68913/you-call-tha...

A poem should not mean

But be.

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/17168/...

In a world that's meaningless and mostly empty there's time to waste reading and writing and discussing nonsense poetry until it starts to make sense. I think you're right that Saroyan found the responses to his poetry more interesting than the work itself. The Reagan administration went in trying to dismantle the National Endowment for the Arts, citing Saroyan among others, wound up eventually inflating the budget, and was rewarded with Immersion (Piss Christ). I think it's funny too.

So what if he was high and having a laugh? It exists, it's been read, noticed, observed, considered. "You could feel him in a room at his typewriter, like a monkey or a cat with a little extra brainpower." It does not have to be liked, it can be "banal".

As for the analysis, you may have overlooked some of the more nuanced conclusions. The North American field cricket chirps 33 times a minute. Big Ben, six-o'clock, 1924. Tic-tac (1969).

And extending lighght to L-I-G-H-G-H-T is absurd, this is visual art and it's not the same at all once that's done.

Yes it does, because they can compel the company employees. A previous company that I worked for used to have data centres in Amsterdam and Sydney (pre-cloud), but it was an Australian company with Australian engineers, so it wouldn't matter very much in this context.
