Let's look at the most popular JS books over the past decade.

* JS modules are in the seminal "Javascript: The Good Parts".

* "Eloquent Javascript" has an entire chapter called "modules" and that has existed across all three versions

* "Javascript: The Definitive Guide" also has a section on modules.

* Javascript.info contains an entire section about modules.

* "Exploring JS" contains a section on the module pattern.

* "You Don't Know JS" has even more about it.

I don't see how someone could know JS as a senior or even mid-level developer without having read at least one of these sources let alone the years-long barrage of blog articles.

I can say with 100% certainty that you cannot write properly using any modern framework without understanding closures (of which modules are one of the easiest patterns).

That's not "being purist". That's not requiring everyone to read the latest ECMAScript spec. That's a simple acknowledgement of the day-to-day reality of the job in a typical company.
The difference is that there is currently a government to mediate disagreements between you and I, as well as a shared set of laws.
Just moved to SF, but Toronto I was working on the same problem - we built milna.cc and the model worked pretty well. Happy to chat more :)

The small cyclic stack brings back 20-year-old memories of a stack machine for "genetic art" from random evolving programs. But random programs will underflow the stack -- what to do? Just wrap around, why not? It's not as if the programs have to make sense. https://www.deviantart.com/djb/gallery
Can you name a database that performs such a function? There might very well be one, but I'm not aware.

I'm most familiar with relational databases and the way in which their data is stored is generally dictated by the schema.

At a minimum, to be consistent with this patent we'd be talking about a database that accepts arbitrary groupings of predefined sets of fields, which then on-the-fly determines how best to pack these individual sets together with other sets belonging to other groupings. The fact that we are talking about two types of collections (one nested in the other) is key -- that is, the nesting of fields within the sets ("components" in ECS terminology), and the nesting of these sets within the groupings ("entities" in ECS terminology).
We can redefine it that way. Time to re-assert our sovereignty.

China is number 3 behind Mexico and Canada. We do import more crap from there than anywhere else though: https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/highlights/t...

But yes, we can't cut the cord fast enough. Still, trade is another matter than shared mass surveillance. If the USG is sharing our data with the CCP, I'd very much want some people fired and perhaps jailed over it.

I gave this app a spin today and I really like what they're going for. Unfortunately, I use Fastmail for email and calendars so I can't take advantage of one of the key features. I hope they add support in the future. It's a fresh take and I'd be willing to give it a serious try if I could sync my email and calendar!
A little late, but yes, subscripting an array yields a gvalue of that type, but that is not an access unless you use the glvalue in some other computation (I assume). But even if you do access it (i.e. make a bitwise copy of the entire array) that should still not be UB.

Out of all the alt-tech, Odysee has been my favourite. Their UI is quite nice and they also have a wide variety of content.
There are already cities in California surrounded by forest. We could expand them by adding new homes, building robust fire-fighting infrastructure (including fire breaks) in the process so the homes don't burn down.

My intuition is that a city will be easiest to defend from fire if its area-to-perimeter ratio is low, i.e. it is big. For example, there is no real risk of San Jose burning down in a fire, because its area (square of the radius) means it has lots of water mains and firefighters, while its perimeter (linear in the radius) is comparatively defendable. That suggests the strategy of expanding existing forest cities.
If you can produce them cheaply but not test them cheaply, the solution is really simple, just don't test them. Send them to space, see what happens.

It's not like space telescopes need any of the valuable orbit space, and even if they did it's easy to put thrusters on board that can de-orbit them or move them to a graveyard orbit (depending on their operational orbit) in the case of failure.
Ahhh thank you for the detail, I understand the setup now -- I hadn't taken into account the IAP (intra GCP) bit!
I don't know if you're being intentional, but one of these isn't like the rest. The reach and ambition of CCP though without much elegance is overwhelmingly overshadowing any efforts shown by others.
It appears that Facebook is off the hook, since it wasn't named as a defendant. Or am I reading this wrong?
If PPC is "far right", can you imagine how far left Canadian liberals must be.
Pay for gmail, that's it. You can pay for hotmail as well. If you are curious how safe are emails then spin up a VPS for a few bucks in your currency. Now sit and watch as emails come in and go out.
Right. Local storage is much more performant and cost effective than network storage. I tried to run some iops sensitive workload on cloud. It turns out I need to pay several thousands dollar per month for the performance I can get on a $100 nvme ssd.
Ooo that's interesting! I stand educated; thanks for sharing that.
The central premise of musical chairs is that there are less chairs than people but every round everyone gets an opportunity to get a seat.

So in my analogy, the last round ended in Sydney in 1978 meaning if you weren't sitting then then you didn't get another chance at a seat.

I remember seeing property shows in the 2000s and there'd be a young couple in their mid-20s with a baby looking at houses that were up to $800K. You'd really need to be earning $200k+ then to afford that or, more realistically, $250k+. Not a lot of jobs in Australia (even Sydney) paid that then (and still don't for the record).

So how were such people affording houses? The Mum and Dad Bank is how. Their parents who were sitting down in 1970s were now sitting on considerable unrealized property wealth and this gets passed along to the children.
> You seem to have assumed that I'm a 100% test coverage no matter the context or costs person, and ran with that.

I was talking about using type annotations to catch "simple typos in code paths that are not exercised in tests." Those are the exact words I used.

And you responded, first explaining how to catch those bugs with tests, or how the existence of these bugs is a signal that your tests should be better.

Like, I just don't get what you are trying to say. If you accept that your code doesn't have 100% test coverage, then you accept that there will be bugs in untested code paths that are not caught by your tests. But you said that you "take that as evidence that your coverage isn't sufficient." As far as I can tell, that means you're aiming for 100% test coverage or somewhere close.
The margin isn't high enough on substrates to make buying and maintaining the process worth it.
This sounds beautiful. Thanks for the reco.
My theory is none of the parties object to it because its in both their interests to pass it. Labour or Liberal, both do not care about privacy or "digital rights", because it benefits them to spy on citizens.

>We are going to need to start sequestering carbon in the later part of this century, with as of yet unknown methods, but it's doable.

Seems like a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone here with the climate and housing crises if we just plant trees and turn them into apartments.
Imagine how psychologically demotivated you would feel if you didn't have the property...
The yuppies and karens are trying their hardest.
maybe it doesn't have to be perfect, as long as there's some safeguards? like if you had some sort of collision radar or a way for the user to emergency stop (e.g. maybe a blink pattern), it might work well enough to give back some freedom.

I hope it changes too. I have a progressive disability and the lack of innovation/competition in assistive devices is starting to make me nervous as I start to need more.
Great hack, very useful link, thanks!

I assume you mean the 2020 election. Voter fraud and machine manipulation is my theory on why Biden is our illegitimate president.
The GPs issues were

An undiversified export economy, out of control house prices, a job-market primarily focused on two cities, a government intent on selling all public assets, very limited political interest in positive climate policies. The latter is simply addressed with "technology will help us out when we need it to".

And you suggest New Zealand?!

- Australian housing is a bargain compared to NZ ones.

- NZs job market is focused on one city, which is smaller, more expensive, lower wages and more crime than Brisbane or Perth.

There's a reason so many New Zealanders live in Australia and not vice versa.
archive.md works for me
I worked on a ship in which there had been a steam pipe rupture. Injured several sailors, caused deaths of two in the hospital from severe burns.

There is so much that can go wrong in engineering systems. Unintentional mistakes could lead to dire consequences. Safety and quality assurance programs may seem like time consuming inconveniences, but have a very important role.
The really sad thing is that this child was in the top half of the class rankings. You can imagine the bottom half probably never made it to class. This is endemic for city schools.
And then get even sharper temperature rise, which would be an even worse disaster.

Meanwhile, ocean acidification, unchecked, would go on to collapse the whole ocean ecosystem.
1.5 isn't going to happen. I'll be happy if we manage to keep it under 3. There's no guarantee that doesn't trigger a total disaster, but it's possible it would also just be extremely costly, damaging, and inconvenient.

At some level it would be a complete and utter disaster and it's not clear where that is. I think if we could magically reach net zero tomorrow, we'd be mostly fine. Obviously instead we will continue driving full speed towards the edge of the cliff, hidden somewhere in the darkness. I hope we apply the brakes earnestly and soon.
and then you were fired because your job was dependent on this taking forever
Commoditize as an alternative?
I simply cannot wrap my mind around what is happening in Australia. Continuing a lockwdown while the number of positive covid cases remains in the low hundreds and the daily death rate in the lower tens to single digits.

Nothing makes sense here. Draconian laws, complete shutdown over something that is and has been statistically under control and managed from months.

Am I alone here or do people really think what is going on in Australia makes sense and that attempting to completely eradicate a virus that may be as easily spread as the common cold makes sense.

Serious cannot leave your house outside and go outside for a jog … because there are 50 positive cases in a nation of millions ?

My mind is blown.
"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

There are times for both expressions, but police funding is probably a more local issue than can be solved in the comments of HN.
> as far as I know vaccine passports haven't been implemented in Australia yet.

I thought they were referring to the ability for businesses to ask about vaccine status.
It does if the people take it seriously. If they tolerate infringement of their rights every time the government says there is a crisis, they will careen from crisis to crisis until their rights are gone. A bill of rights is just paper until the people give it force by refusing to tolerate violations under any circumstances.
FYI: the original poster can immediately after submission edit it and fix the title, and HN will leave it alone the second time.
It can certainly be part of the solution.
Yes, handling 50 requests per second doesn't mean the server can handle 4.2 million a day. That can only happen if they are uniformly distributed throughout the day, which isn't the case for most website traffic.

Whoever is to blame, they are failing many of them. Not just this one. He was in top half of the school rankings. Imagine what the bottom half did. They probably never showed up.
The most damaging hurricanes rely heavily on warm water over their last 2-3 days before landfall. Suppose we focused these bright cloud emitters on the water in front of a tropical storm, as a way to prevent it from strengthening into a hurricane?

Imagine the city of Miami deciding that eliminating local hurricanes would benefit its local real estate market. They invest in a fleet of hurricane blockers to be deployed off their coast during hurricane season to reduce the odds of getting hit by any hurricane, and almost guarantee no more cat 5 hurricanes. This project is worth it for Miami because it has a dramatic effect on home values and insurance costs... And the world also benefits from the cooling that Miami's hurricane shield produces.
Some of the models I’ve seen involve staffing social workers to accompany officers on calls with the charge of defuse situations and connecting people with services. It sounds promising. In any case, they both frequently interact with the same usual suspects- might as well be from the same car.

Furthermore, that kind of partnership may diffuse some of the sort of macho banter between cops that seems to lead to embarrassing headlines.
Moved to Sydney from New Zealand and have been here for 6 years. I do like it here compared to New Zealand but I think I would move elsewhere given the chance.

The internet here is an actual joke, the politics are biased towards conservatism, don't think about owning an electric car but... the pay is quite good and it's a nice place to go out. Lots of nature and you can find nice apartments to rent if you look.

New Zealand by comparison is great but it's remote, expensive and has a low salary when compared to other western countries. It has been a while since I was there last, but public transport is hilariously bad - but if you enjoy nature and silence, it's there in abundance.

My company has offered to relocate me to NYC, which is interesting. Looking on YouTube at what the city looks like and it's pretty ugly if I am honest. Apartments seem to be small and you don't get modern style apartments even 45 minutes from Manhattan via public transport. I am concerned that my lifestyle would suffer living there.

Hey Canada, how you doing?

> You stop enacting race based policies, and you take steps to counteract the impacts of past racism on people in the present.

But by definition, that's not what ignoring race does.

> This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t acknowledge that racism was a cause.

By definition, that's what "rotating the line to be orthogonal to race" does.

> However black people are not the only ones who have suffered from impediments. Racism is one cause, but there are others.

> A person who is struggling today should be helped regardless of their own skin color or the skin color of the grandparents.

Agreed, that's why I said: "We can see the lines that history drew. Lines based on race, based on geography, based on gender, etc. and I think it would be ignorant of us to ignore the existence of any of those lines. It's not an either/or situation."
Oh I completely agree it can be done. But let's consider- did you have children? Were you able to love at home? Did you have to work full-time? Did you need financial aid? There are just a whole lot of variables here.

If you go to college broke, and come out in debt, and are then in debt for years after (I don't know offhand the average) then yes that's crippling debt. When figured against future earnings and actual take-home profit, how will those numbers work out for someone like that? Chances are, not well. Not everyone can just 'learn to program' to get a cushy 120k+/yr job. Also some people with families take longer than 2 years just for an associates degree. This is really survivorship bias wkth N=1.
Hey mate. Aussie here.

I'm sorry to say that it seems to me no one around here gives a flying fuck about politics let alone anyrhing to do with digital rights. This is a war we've already lost.

I blame Murdoch but quite frankly most of the people I talk to are too wrapped up in working to pay their bills and care for their families to care about anything else.
If it's like the Apple one that requires wading through pages of links pushing activist narratives, it will fail miserably.
How's that Ukraine(a country from that list) has authoritarianism on rise? Any verifiable metrics to prove it?
Hey thanks a lot! It's soft launched. I'd love to hear what you think. If you try iOS, the TestFlight build [0] is most current. I deploy the web app all the time (just deployed, actually, so if you reload, maybe it'll be a bit different :). Android soon. I'm hoping to do a Show HN in a few weeks.

I reached out to a local University's research department to see what kind of volunteering opportunities might be available. It's hard to know how to get involved, ya know?
I think that there should be a humane operating system that operates for the human.

Operating systems shouldn't get too hung up on supporting applications or browsers, instead they should focus more on serving humans.

Common operations that humans need should be standardized across the operating system.
I think people often don't notice and then click away and go about their business. Nobody expects content they've just submitted to get silently changed under their nose.
Is Ex-Googler still a thing when everyone is an Ex-Googler?
The idea is pretty cool, and well executed.

I do think the coloring is what makes it jarring and ugly though. They could’ve gone with subtler, mixed colors - instead of a bright uniform blue.
once again they will warn us that GPT4 is a beta and is dangerous, skynet etc etc... but hey we're releasing it anyway.
Probably very few. Liberals who are alienated with the U.S. would sooner move to Canada for the healthcare, conservatives alienated with the U.S. would sooner be dead than be alive in Australia without guns if their bumper stickers are to be believed.
So, for the record, I 100% support gay marriage and abortion rights.

What you have to realize about the US is that the Supreme Court deciding these issues is... controversial. Many view it as undemocratic (although it's worth noting that many of those same people don't feel the same way about the Supreme Court's pro-2nd Amendment interpretations of modern times).

We're still seeing the ripple effects of Roe v. Wade being decided almost 50 years ago.

As others have pointed out, Supreme Court precedent is only that until a later Supreme Court comes along and changes it and that could very well happen with the current court composition. And you need look no further than the Court's refusal to stay the Texas abortion law pending a full judicial review.

So the date this was decided doesn't really give any moral superiority here of the US over Australia for two reasons:

1. Australia's position was decided by a democratic process; and

2. With 62% (IIRC) of people approving of the change, the matter is effectively settled. No one can complain about it. As such you don't see any real conservative Christian blowback like you do in the US as witnessed by the statements of Tony Abbott and others.
As another senior SE in Brisbane I can 100% back up what BrissyCoder here is saying.

Its even more so right now, if you're up for contracting. $1000+ a day is common. Kind of nuts, but hey its been good for my wallet.
> didn’t carry their tracking devices as they were instructed

Nobody in 2019 would have believed you if you told them tracking devices were mandatory, and that a significant bit of the population thought they were a good idea.
BtTF was a standalone movie, then a trilogy with only two sequels, not either 1) a multimedia franchise like many of the works I've mentioned or 2) an Inception or Tenet type Nolan blockbuster that requires infographics to tease out the plot.

Ha, "brighten clouds". The clouds would be brighter for the ten lucky occupants of the ISS. For the rest of us, this would more aptly be called "sky darkening".
Agreed on all points.

Parent's assertion that "Voting at all in an unegaged populace is bad." still rubs me the wrong way.

Why discount the votes of engaged individuals just because the masses aren't? Baby, bath water, etc.
"Democratized" in the context of a startup usually doesn't mean letting the public access something, it usually means letting a different group of investors (the funders of the startup) access a market (formerly controlled by a monopoly or oligopoly of established mega-firms).
„Massive Attack“ Unveil Plan to Reduce Carbon Emissions Across Music Industry
Yes! I think a lot of people would get behind "Fix The Police" over "Fuck the Police".

Both partisan sides have this weird cognitive dissonance where liberals support all unions except police unions while the right backs police unions unquestionably.

I'm independent because the party I wish we had would not be fighting for more or less government, it would be fighting for high quality efficient government!
