It is a combination of factors.

It is not that Ruby suddenly popular again, the scaling issues is still there, Scaling not impossible but mostly have to do with being expensive. If you are an average dev in UK or US with 100K+ Salary of course scaling is cheap. But not everyone has that luxury or operate on the same budget. But the combination of Ruby and Rails getting faster and Hardware is finally getting cheaper.

> it's kind of a shitty move by Google.

It's kind of business as usual for Google. Why would anyone expect them to be kind and generous suddenly when they have consistently for years pulled the rug out underneath previosly-free services. (or killed them off completely https://killedbygoogle.com/ )

gmail subscriptions are next, just wait and see.
Yeah, but it's AI-complete. Its an adversarial problem also, as people are really motivated to share their content.

It reminds me of the filters on facebook that kept killing compliant nude pictures of larger people, because the model had obviously just learned to count pixels of skin.

YouTube already does ads on every page right? The ones in the top right corner of the watch page for example.

I think this is now referring to in-video ads.
The beginning of the text accompanying that photo (tweet) is: “I’m not proud of what I tweeted, but I have no regret. Nevertheless, I would like to clarify some points about my tweet against FN.”
If a laptop's performance is on a par with a desktop's, and the fan's aren't going crazy, I'd call that a big win! My 2018 MB Pro has the fans running most of the time, and even then sometimes throttles back the CPU.
Stack is just burning through a giant pile of VC money at the moment (latest round was an $85m Series E back in July). When that runs out they'll start to ramp up the adverts and the paid user features.

There is probably nothing wrong with it. But booting up a VM is quick and convenient, whereas for example searching through the bitsavers archive for the right ROM images isn't, just for one thing.
No, it's provably not true that "Scintilla only provides the textarea control that can perform syntax highlighting."

So what actually loads and saves the files, even if they are many megabytes? Scintilla. What is what makes that loading fast, compared to the implementation of Windows Notepad (which is how people discovered Notepad++)? Scintilla. What performs all the editing operations fast? Scintilla. What maintains all the undo information? Scintilla. What performs all the rendering of everything shown, in all the fonts and with all the configured properties, (and it works on all platforms, which is far from trivial)? Scintilla. And yes, what does all syntax coloring for all the languages? Scintilla. It's in its source base:

https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/code/ci/default/tree/lex...

Scintilla does provide all the programming level interfaces for its configuration, which can be also seen in the sources. In Notepad++, the dialogs which use these interfaces are, true, written by the Notepad++ author. So yes, most of the main functionality of the editor is in its editor engine, Scintilla, and the dialogs and menus are implemented by Notepad++.

I didn't elaborate because there really isn't any more to say about it. If you've read up on how the GDPR works and know what essential means, you will see this person is correct.

For what it's worth, I have been involved with implementing the GDPR properly in a number of reasonably large companies. Sadly a number of people can say this and a vanishingly small amount of companies actually adhere to it properly, so I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Although I’m definitely not convinced enough to make the jump yet, those emulation benchmarks are impressive (and seem to also apply somewhat to general use based on another review I read). Running x86 code faster than native equivalents, using an ARM chip, that will probably be consuming significantly less power doing it is something I did not expect to see in gen 1 of this switch.

>The underlying reason that I believe electric aircraft can break the sound barrier is that electric motors can deliver far higher power-to-weight ratios than piston engines, jets, or turbines.

That's a completely worthless figure of merit (I assume he means thrust to weight; because electric helicopters have abysmal power to weight ratio -shit like this matters) and no reason to believe in this nonsense. By the same reasoning, one could build a piston engined supersonic aircraft because there are piston engined helicopters. Another thing that has a high thrust to weight ratio; those water rockets I used to play with as a kid.[0] Pretty sure you can't go supersonic with those either unless you fire them out of a howitzer.

Electric airplanes are a terrible idea without battery technology comparable to hydrocarbon power to weight ratios. Even then, they're a terrible idea unless the motivating technology is lighter than a jet engine and tanks for reasons that should be obvious to anyone with high school physics educations.

I think that I had New Math in sixth grade, and I remember nothing in particular of it but learning about number bases (as Feynman remarked, kind of pointless), and learning the terms commutative and associative--though it was a long time before I grasped the latter.
> You can't be distinguished from an attacker, from the computer's perspective.

Then what's the point of things like passwords and fingerprint scanners?

> Having the computer be able to attest that it's unmodified means that it doesn't have to mistrust you so aggressively, relative to today.

How so?

> Requiring a reboot to rescue mode to disable SIP is sufficient to block most social engineering attacks that would otherwise have you click through dialogs to bypass it. A dedicated attacker can still overcome this, and once they do, they can impersonate you readily.

We need to lock people out of their own computers to protect them from social engineering?

> I don't think most websites will bother, but those that care sure would love to be able to do so.

In practice, this will end up just like the abomination that is SafetyNet on Android, where if you take control of your own device, you can't use Netflix, Snapchat, Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run, Android Pay, etc.

> keeping their system in secure mode

Really? "secure mode"? What kind of attacks specifically would this prevent that an IT department would care about, as opposed to Hollywood/RIAA/etc. caring about?

I am. And thankfully I am also free to comment on his immature attitude.

The point in this sun thread is "phone creators make it hard to use other app stores, that's anti-competitiom", the GP claimed "it's easy on android, come on" I refused that notion. I didn't make a statement about the value as I'm conflicted. I see the issues of the Windows desktop, where users install whatever they find as administrator without second thought, but I also see the issue of gatekeepers apple and Google ...
Why not start a live archive online?
Let's compare to a Google phone of that era with the same issue.

>If you're among those affected, your phone will randomly shut down and completely die, even though your battery indicator might have said you had plenty of juice left. It's not a simple system crash, because your phone will stay dead until you connect it to a charger.

We've seen reports of the battery dying from a charge as high as 67% to as low as 15% on both Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat. So it's not a problem with the recent Android update, and it's not as simple as the battery meter just being off by a few percentage points.

https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/nexus-6p-battery-random...

Google simply refused to fix the issue and settled their own lawsuit over it.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/11/16/nexus-6p-early-shut...

So which is better for the consumer? A phone that was never fixed or one that was?

As a Linux user I wish there were a new improved replacement for Grub2 with a well-written manual. This would make dual booting much easier and safer and would most likely help to increase the ranks of Linux users. And also because I trust Microsoft and Apple - about as far as I can throw them.
Slavic languages (and maybe baltic) don't have them (probably also ugro-finnic ones), not sure about e.g. basque or hellenic ones.

Balto-Slavic comes from proto-indo-european and we have similar words (here in English / German / Polish)

'the' -> 'die' -> 'ten' (this)
'a/one' -> 'ein' -> 'jeden/jakiś' (one/one of many)

which come from the same PIE roots, but we don't use them as often. We generally understand from context whether we're talking about something specific or general.

And only use those helpers when we need clarification. There are also other ways to differentiate. For example speaking in singular (cat/kot) may mean 'a specific cat', but saying 'cats/koty' may mean 'a cat/cats'.

In other words, using 'the/a' is in majority of cases unnecessary from our point of view, because if we're talking about 'our cat' for an hour, we don't need to stress that it's 'the cat' that I meant when I said 'cat', or when we say 'Please feed cat' and we have a cat, it's way more likely that it's about our cat than some random cat on the street.

And this creates enormous problems for us when learning English or German (not sure about romance languages). We often ask ourselves, if we know whether we're talking about something specific or in general should we always use 'a/the -> ein/die'. And the answer is 'pretty much'. Unless you don't use it :)

'Love is a powerful emotion', and not 'A/The love is a powerful emotion', and even more elusive cases where those articles are not used.

> we have a relative freedom in changing time zone offsets

Who is we in this sentence? Programmers certainly don't, they have to report times and timezones in their software as the populace expects it to be reported. Governments can change timezones, but they're not going to, because the political cost of telling everyone that they're in a new timezone is greater than the political cost of telling programmers where to shove it.

Most of the public will see absolutely no reason why they should have to permanently change the timezone they're in for the sake of a one-time event. And honestly, even as a programmer who'd be doing the fixing, I agree that they're right.
You're free to look, it's OSS.

It would be very expensive, though, as they would have to recode videos constantly.

(Edit: my children comments are right)
Do you also block plain old third-party unencrypted DNS servers? Because those could also trivially be used to bypass content filtering on your local resolver, no DoH required. In fact some web appliances like the Chromecast already do exactly this without having to use any kind of technology like DoH.

The problem you are describing is nothing to do with DoH, it is simply a consequence of the fact that DNS is not meant to provide access control. It is not an endpoint security management solution.
If you're referring to in-video ads, then no.

At present, if you choose not to monetize a video, no ads get shown unless a third part makes a copyright claim on your video.

I'm not quite sure about the situation with ads that show up in the corner of the page - those are unobtrusive enough that I'm used to mentally tuning them out.
Speed is still relative. Yes the benchmark numbers for the M1 are impressive, but I am curious to see non-benchmark, real-world workloads compared. I'm reminded of a YouTube video (link below) in which the comparison was made between an $11,000 Mac Pro and a PC kit that also cost $11,000. In this case the PC was rocking a Ryzen chip with 32 (or was it 64?) cores and smoked the Mac Pro on every benchmark. But when comparing comparable workloads, like doing a final render on a large video project using Final Cut Pro on the Mac and Premiere Pro on the PC, the Mac Pro did narrowly edge the PC. So I would be interested in seeing the M1 MBP do side-by-side, real-life workload tests like final-rendering a large video project, compiling a multi-gigabyte XCode project, applying a complex set of filters to an image, etc. Benchmarking is nice to an extent but I think lacks real-world significance in this context.

Hmh, not sure. I agree on lighting being very important, but RTX-Quake looked just weird too. But imagination probably plays a role in games like doom where enemies are barely more than a couple pixels. It's like horror movies are scary because of the stuff that is only implied through storytelling and sound, as these things then happen directly in your brain and not on the screen.

Bait and switch. This is what big companies do. They buy products that are a threat to them, or allow them to address the threat of another company. Then they offer the bought company's services for free for a period. Then it ends.

Thanks for the feedback. Will also setup the about page.

Regarding the trying part: I'm actually doing that "as we speak". I had an idea for a web-app on the shelve which I'm currently implementing with the help of IHP. Might do a write-up about that in the future.

Main idea here was to offer my notes for some of my co-workers who struggle with the same things I do/did.

Personally, I like to believe that haskell is - as you mentioned - not an insurmountable challenge to use. So I will probably not write about learning functors/applicatives/monads/etc., but will use them (at some point).

edit: added the word NOT.
Show HN: Low-Code IDE
Linx is developers tool that enables the rapid development and deployment of back-end applications like APIs, integrations and automations. Developers design and debug solutions in a familiar procedural style using a drag and drop interface with access to 1000s of ready made functions. Solutions are deployed with one click to servers running in the cloud or on-premise.

The Problem - Building and maintaining back-end applications are complex and time consuming. You need to select the right tools, write boiler-plate code, wrestle with the latest framework, try to understand other people’s code, figure out new APIs, etc. Deploying and hosting brings its own questions: How do we deploy? Where do we deploy to? How do we monitor it? What about versioning, testing, security, etc?

Our Solution - By providing high level functions as part of our plugin architecture we reduce 1000s of lines of code to a single visual function with properties that guide the developer to success. Deployment is a one step process to a server with monitoring, access control and versioning as standard.

The Designer (IDE) is free to download, test and play with. Give it a try and let us know what you think....

It looks like, due to the popularity of this series, Harvard Business Review has started using "Harvard Business Fundamentals" as a general term for a type of online class offering. The product I'm referring to is a set of 7 bound volumes, each a collection of the "best of" articles from Harvard Business Review, each volume focusing on one topic such as Finance, Economics, Marketing, (Start Up) Operations & New Division Formation, Lobbying and Governance, and International Business. When I first saw them they were leather bound and nice library quality, but the set I have is paperbound. I got my set 20 years ago, but saw a revised publication of the entire set about 10 years ago, also a hard and softbound shelf of books.

And don't let the age of these impact your opinion, these are the timeless articles that you probably recognize their ideas because these "radical ideas" when fully mainstream.

These are close, and getting any of these will prove to be a fantastic resource:

As a former user of SciTE, the definition of the word "main" here is highly subjective. If you mean "more LoC", then maybe, fine. But the value in Notepad++ is in UX, which is an immeasurably better than SciTE's (and an extremely challenging thing to get right—I'm not faulting SciTE for lacking here, UX is hard).
