I think it also must help that a lot of these developers already have a bunch of ARM code running on iOS, so along with Catalyst and I’m sure shared libraries between their existing iOS/Mac apps it was probably easier to get builds out than it could have been.
Is it OK not to like Dark Mode for reading and general browsing? I mean, I like Dark Mode in some places (mostly the extremities -- Dock, Menubar, etc) and in games, IDE. I do have dark tone for the IDE but as soon as I'm typing Markdown or Text, I have a lighter version. This is the same for reading -- I like the old brown-ish background with dark texts.

Addresses do frequently get reused, though- people send to the same addresses, and last time I checked, the bitcoin.com wallet defaulted to reusing receive addresses
Back then when I used Frontpage, I couldn't care less about the code quality or the output it generated. It helped me really quickly get a site up and running on the web. Especially personal or family websites. They had wonderful templates for those.

I don't know anything like Frontpage in 2020 that has such a short learning curve but that is as customizable.

I would really pay for something like a modern Frontpage without the bad stuff the author talks about. Despite me being a web developer with a decade plus experience doing websites, I would gladly enjoy working with such a nice tool.
Sorry, but this is absolutely wrong and potentially harmful to your son if you eventually convince him. It is absolutely possible and not that uncommon for a neurotic person's mind to go blank when under considerable stress, at the point of forgetting otherwise completely trivial information.

I urge you to not dismiss your son's complaints but to instead investigate them further, preferably with the help of a professional therapist, to save him from the possibility of escalation of his problem.
It was about the same for me, and I used a simple stopwatch. Stopped the watch as soon as I saw anything on the page. I am on a fairly fast network, too
For sure. I just think that sort of string API is a great example of something we've historically had to trade off for type-safety.

There are of course nice qualities of simple functional composition and custom operators, though it comes with another layer of overhead that you wouldn't necessarily always choose over a simpler API in every case. Richer typed expressiveness lets us pick the right trade-off without being forced.
Those using Electron aren't desktop developers, so no I am to implying that all desktop developers are lazy.

Thankfully Electron is just a tiny percentage of apps that with exception of VSCode and Slack I can abstain myself from ever touching, with plenty of native or proper Web alternatives that don't augment the hegemony of ChromeOS.

As a home user of ZFS I would give it an ETA of never. We've been waiting for probably 10 years for this feature, but it's just never been enough of a priority from more serious (paying) users to get worked on.
Same! I actually looked it up right after commenting and realized my statement would still be true even if the bias in HN's demographic were much lower.
Slightly unusual use case for Dark Reader:

This year I switched to an LG CX 48 as my only display. This is a large OLED screen ("large" is an understatement -- it's the equivalent of a 4x4 grid of 24" 1080p monitors). Because it's OLED, there's some minor risk of burn-in. As one of my measures for mitigating that risk, I use Dark Reader with the contrast turned up. This also happens to look really cool on an OLED with its perfect blacks. There are a few sites that it does a poor job with, and for those I just have it disabled.
ZFS was one of the reasons I switched to FreeBSD, and it turned out to have a lot of other advantages too. Might be worth a look?
You're either a troll, or _really_ confused about what Socialism is.

That is because we have safety standards that are explicitly designed to address those risks.
No, not always. Users typically prefer waiting a few secs after entering their criteria rather than getting instant filtered and sorted search results, especially on price-sensitive services like price comparators, but basically everywhere the website is supposed to have the user's financial interest at heart.

Makes them feel like the site actually does some calculations, even if everything is cached in the background.

See travel agencies, airline comparators, train booking services, insurance benchmarks or credit simulations.

> You sure like the phrase “conspiracy theory”.

That's exactly what you're pushing: a theory of how some people have conspired to do something. Is this not true? Is this not the essence of all these outlandish and baseless theories on how there were people conspiring to rig the US presidential elections?

If you disagree, please do point out exactly which part of your argument does not involve neither a conspiracy nor theories.
Yeah, no worries. I realize you had a good intention, and I know it's hard to remember every single detail about how other people's lives might be different from ours.
Mving may require significant effort for products with sophisticated configurations.

Also, while I don't imply either to move or to stay, Travis still does the job as it did before¹, so, unless pricing or specific features are a requirement, the technical incentive to move may (may) not be high enough.

I tried to use the JIRA "Catalyst" app (what is JIRA app in the Mac App store) and... it's bad.

It's fast, much faster than the web version. But otherwise pretty bad. I kept being frustrated with it too much and switched back to web.

And Catalyst is supposed to be "more native" than iOS apps running on macOS directly...
"passion" often seems like code for "will work more for free".

From a business standpoint, it makes sense as it shifts risk to the potential employee.

But like having unpaid interns, it biases the employment pool toward those who have extra money and time to work for no income.

I did something similar for a self-hosted github enterprise installation:

* A webhook would be fired at my host when a new pull-request was created, or updated.

* When the webhook was received we'd store details of the repository, the branch-name, and the PR-ID into a queue, from the webhook paylad.

* A bunch of worker machines would poll the queue, and when a new message was received they'd checkout the repository, run "make test", and add the output of the run as a comment to the PR.

This was done as a temporary thing, rather than spinning up Jenkins/similar, with the expectation we'd get Github Actions coming to Github Enterprise in the near future.
Remember to stop using VSCode, since it's based on Electron

Not to take away from the merits of ZFS, but this sounds like something that 2 disks with software RAID1 would prevent from happening.

I understand what you are trying to say - proper use of units is important, especially on a technical topic. The SI[0] is simple, everybody can take a look and understand it in a minute and never make a mistake again. But you really don't need to be so condescending.

I still hate it when people flag comments like yours because maybe it sounds "offensive" or something, but you can improve your tone too.

Always when typescript is
is compared with js, people talk about you get less bugs in typescript. I am honestly curious to see some evidence.
In my opinion application bugs are usually in the flow itself and have nothing to do with wrong types. I work a lot with both plain and Typescript projects. I used to like Typescript. But not anymore. With typescript applications tend to become bigger and more complex. Most devs using it have never seen vanilla js and are more java minded that prototype minded.
IDE code completion works better for typescript. For sure. But is that really essential? Sounds a bit like the typical Java developer who works with giant spring applications containing classes with hundreds of methods spread in many files in a 10 layer deep folder structure.
The negative effects may be the very reason why it works, as it has an hormetic response https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormesis similar to fasting.
The metric I'm watching is Google Trends[1]. So far it's hardly budged and is far below its peaks in 2017 and 2019. That indicates to me that this run up in price could be just beginning. I expect that if an all time high is reached then a wave of publicity will propel the price much higher, as it has several times in the past.

I don't see a 10x price increase like 2017 though. I expect less extreme price movements now that bitcoin's market cap is so much higher and more large investors are involved. I think it would take something huge to move the price that much, like a bitcoin ETF approved by the SEC.

Any plans for arbitrary-size transforms? (i.e., not restricted to vectors whose dimension is a power of two)
The Flash runtime was not power hungry. It was the terrible code that was written that ran on it that was power hungry.

As HTML5 was emerging someone posted a HTML 5 demo on hacker news. It put 1 core of my machine to 80%. I wrote an equivalent version in Flash and it used 5%.

All the people writing terrible code in Flash simply started writing terrible code in Java script instead.

I have both, MacBook Air 2019 and Dell XPS 13 2018.

MacBook is stunningly smooth, while under heavy CPU load you hit CMD+Space and Spotlight is there. Under my Dell with no CPU load at all, I hit the windows key - and nothing happens.

What really keeps me at Apple is this overall smoothness. Under Windows/Intel you can pick one spec that is impressive, but as you said, it is the overall experience.
I want Swift-on-server to be a thing because context switching from UI to backend development is taxing enough, at least the language and some of the tooling could remain the same.

Maybe you can do that with JS+HTML+CSS on the front end and NodeJS on the backend but Swift is such a nice language to work with.

Here is Vapor, a web framework made with Swift: https://vapor.codes

Teach Your Kid to Code
So has anyone here used zfs and btrfs and would like to comment on the differences? I've been on a heavy zfs kick lately, but the performance loss is hard to stomach and the only research I found points to btrfs being faster (though of course they both take a hit).

Basically the reasons I'm drawn to zfs are:

- checksumming & self-healing

- ergonomics & flexibility of managing pools with zfs

- copy on write for cheap local copy/experimentation (i.e. just clone your DB folder and you have a new DB)

- zfs send/recv for very efficient incremental backups

From what I can find it seems like btrfs does all that, and faster[0]. In addition to being faster, it also is in-kernel[1], and more flexible for the user in various ways, for example allowing resizing[2]. Looking around btrfs may not be blessed as stable but there are a lot of big orgs using it.

All that said, there are articles like this one[3] which are somewhat dated but paint ZFS really positively from a maintenance point of view. Very hard to pick between these two.

I'd really like to use ZFS -- the community seems very welcoming and amazing but I'm a little worried about picking the wrong tool for the job.

[EDIT] - there's also this old comparison from phoronix[1] which is confusing. I'm still learning towards ZFS but sure would like to hear some strong opinions if anyone has em.

This is a contradiction - if the number of transactions isn’t increasing, and mew addresses are created from every transaction, then the number of mew addresses shouldn’t be increasing.

So something most be changing - either wallet software is preferring to use new addresses more often, or something else, like more distinct users.

Ask HN: Does Clojure significantly increase your productivity? How?
I have been a full stack developer for 8 years. In the recent days I am getting a feeling that there's something missing in languages like JS/Python. Because some of the work I feel is redundant.

I have heard about clojure and I often hear it enables to write code in a way that takes of redundant code and increase productivity.

Is it worth investing time to learn clojure for the sake of increasing productivity? Is it a significant increase?
I'm fascinated, and at the same time slightly troubled, by your usage of the word "compute".

_Requiring_ any arbitrary metric or technology stack to be allowed at the top of the google search result is utterly antithetical to the idea of a search engine providing the "best" result for a search.

Google don't run Google Search as a public service. They'll rank pages to generate as much money for Google as possible - that's a balance between quality of results to keep users coming back, making sure the ranking order is bad enough that users have to click adverts instead of only using the search results, and making sure the ranking order is opaque enough to encourage companies to buy adverts rather than simply invest more in SEO.

The final point is the relevant one here - Google need to change the rules regularly in order to hamper company's SEO efforts, which makes them buy more adverts until they can make it back to the top of the SERPs again.
No need for a bet, Apple said so at WWDC. They started a transition period that will last 2 years.
You’re right about typescript, but in my opinion the same thing could be said about C++. You can say that, superficially, C++ is also just “C with types”. You can write “C in C++” and ignore the types, as many developers do, and risk runtime crashes or errors.

I have to deal with this sort of code on a daily basis. When I talk to the people who wrote that code, they mostly shrug and say that C++ was too complicated for them, they just used what they know.

The flip side of this is people (like me) who know C++ pretty well, keep track of most of the advanced features, and use them semi-regularly. Unfortunately, this effectively creates a barrier to entry to those same other devs. You can blame those other devs all you want for not keeping track of the language, but what if they don’t want to and have other, more important thing in their lives than to keep track of the language? So I’ve come to the conclusion that in my opinion the problem is you (or in that case, me), not them. If you want your code to be long lived and maintainable you have to take the people around you into account. I’ve come to consciously limit the number of C++ features I use in code other people see to a bare minimum.

I like the idea. An app that roars louder the higher the cpu load.
FWIW the bitcoin.com wallet (and really bitcoin.com) is borderline malware. It exists solely to leverage its official sounding name to constantly nudge people towards deceiving people into buying "Bitcoin cash" which is largely unrelated to bitcoin. When ever they're called out for doing it too blatantly deceptively (e.g. spent months calling "bitcoin cash" the real bitcoin, and bitcoin "bitcoin core"), they just walk it back slight enough to not get outright banned on platforms.

No it isn't. It has degenerated into being only browsable in its entirety by Chrome, with all other "browser vendors" except Apple having given up due to sheer complexity and infeasibility to keep up - Opera, Microsoft, and now Firefox. That's what you get by putting Google (ie WHATWG, consisting of Chrome devs) into the role of defining so-called "web standards", with W3C (a self-declared "standardization body") depending on Google's and other big player's money having done nothing meaningful for years except brittling and foobaring CSS.

Ask HN: Why companies use Gitlab Self hosted ver when SaaS ver is priced same?
Gitlab prices its SaaS & self hosted version at the same rate as per their pricing page? Why would a customer use a self hosted version when it would also be extra effort in hosting Gitlab in own infra?
Gitlab doesn't have very sensitive data ( I am assuming it would be mostly code) - so why save it in your own cloud vs in a multi-tenant cloud?
