I run it in the Tint browser on Android and got Hacker News plus a few false positives, sites I never heard about and never been at (maybe some images included in other sites?). I got a much longer list of sites in Dolphin but that's my main Android browser. Again, many unknown sites but I can't remember or notice any random link I touch.
I tried again with Chromium on Linux and got the cannot calibrate message. Firefox is my main browser and is not supported, luckily, let me add :-)

thats a shitty analogy.

Also wikipedia has more technical dept than the worst govmnt project.

Just look at the php backend shit. The parser alone makes people blind. There does not exist a grammar.

You cannot process the content properly, because only their current php thing parses tge wkitext as the author intended, and it consists of 65% quirks and hacks.

The layout/ html rendering is 10y in the past. I can think of a dozen helpful things the html pages could do, but its not possible because of the rottten backend that literally takes minutes to render some articles.

And that with millions of donations. Wikimedia sucks so hard its almost like they purposefully want to wikipedia from evolving.
Meet the world’s first publicly traded tech incubator
This is what angers me about current tech companies. They spend billions of dollars and thousands of man hours to make sure I see ads that are relevant to me (why the @#$@ have they not figured out I have never clicked on one?) I've got a glorified taxi cab service that I can order from my phone (omg!) and will be here in 5 minutes. My phone just notified me that my friend took a pictures. All while a gov that spends unknown billions monitoring all of these rather useless, non-quality of life enhancing companies.

Imagine what we could accomplish if capital/compute/mindpower resources were reallocated from showing me ads to solving something I cared about. Can we not have another cab/delivery/ad/food delivery/message/social text/video/short video/music network?

My deepest condolences to the Meyer family, I can't begin to fathom the pain and loss you must feel.

There are other language interfaces to OSA. Frontier's UserTalk was an early implementation (and much more useful than AppleScript IMO) IIRC, there are also Python and Ruby bindings as well.

JavaScript isn't that bad. It certainly has it's faults but there are much worse languages that could have become ubiquitous than JavaScript.

Honestly, I find web programming to be generally terrible. JavaScript is actually one of the better parts of it.

Most of the time I work in C++ these days though.
HW decoders will not send the deblocking barrier to external memory (typically). Instead you will buffer the required rows until you have decoded the next line of macroblocks. As long as the filter margin are the same this will work fine in itself but you will not have done the buffering at the same place you did deblocking or any of the simpler overlap filters. In that way you will force larger changes to your architecture. Similarly your transform unit is likely not set up to handle this so it requires redesign. Getting to many of these hurdles in can be the death of adoption for the CODEC.

Any ReactJs component framework that can replace ionic?
Currently, my weekend project is using ionic framework.

My weekend project - App to send full size photo to any phone number:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eddyy.app

I think angularjs is fine but ReactJs is much more flexible and fast.

Any ReactJs component framework (mainly css + some common thing like ftScroller will be totally enough) that can replace ionic?

I tried http://goratchet.com/ and plus all my hacks. But many small effects will be missed. Ex: click effect or text selection.

For weekend projects, it is too hard to maintain all the things.

Let's talk about the docs. The Groovy website docs (the "official docs") have some pages that are years out of date.

Let's look at the main tutorial, Groovy in Action. The first edition came out in 2007. In 2009, they began work on the 2nd ed. IT IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE except as an "early release book" [1]

What mystifies me in all this is that Groovy is a language with a company behind it. How can they not have made more than such a feeble attempt to provide current docs?

They're very different use cases.

Applescript is used for automation of already existing applications which will still be written in C++ or Objective C. Applescript, a proprietary language with no other uses, is just being replaced by a much more common language in Javascript so people won't need to learn a new one to automate apps. People don't generally write applications using Applescript and they probably won't be using Javascript, so there's little overlap.

In GNOME Javascript is being used to write the applications in the first place. There is total overlap between Javascript and C/C++.

People see the GNOME choice as both redundant and reducing performance of desktop apps while people see the Apple choice as simply using a common language instead of a proprietary one for scripting.

One of the freakiest lucid dreaming experiences I had was when I had a conversation in my lucid dream with a friend of mine while I was completely aware that it was a dream. We were having a conversation about how my mind was controlling what they said but yet it felt like a completely normal conversation, where I had no way to predict exactly what they were going to reply with. Bizarre.
This is possible although I don't have that data. It's still preferable as the amount of brain damage would be significantly less than during teen years, and they would hopefully be at least somewhat more responsible.

BUT if you add in the years saved ped cancer equals lung cancer AND peds cancer research has directly helped adult cancer. It is the hardest to fight and once found it would directly help most adult diseases. Now adults get the meds and the research and then 5+ years later they will start a trial IF they can get funding.

20+ years ZERO new chemotherapy drugs introduced to pediatric cancer treatments. We can do better. TO bad the cancer that killed my son has more research spending for dogs then there is for adults and children of bone cancer. Priorities!

Show HN: Dominus
Dominus is a multiplayer browser strategy game. The first test game just went up. Please help test it out.

http://dominusgame.net/

The basic idea is everyone has a castle. If you attack someone's castle and win then they become your vassal and send you 25% of their income. This includes income from their vassals. If everyone in the game is your vassal or a vassal of your vassal then you are winning the game.

exe's can store their own resources and that includes binary files.

Store a child exe within a parent exe.

When parent exe is run first, it should extract child exe, run it, do whetever it wants and quit.

Child exe's job is to see if parent exe has finished execution. Can be done by searching for windown handle or string.

When parent exe is no longer running, child exe should delete parent and quit.

Satisfies the requirement that parent exe's code will only run once if there is only one distribtion of exe.

Japan is protected by the USA's nuclear umbrella, and by mutual agreement shouldn't have nukes.

That said, Ukraine is also "protected" by the US thanks to a binding treaty, and we see how that's turned out. Japan has watched events in Ukraine, as well as in China's sphere of influence, and right or wrong their policies reflect their conclusions about US protection.

... and what's Japan's policy, today? They've carefully put together all the ingredients they need to build nukes on very short notice, and continue in that direction. They're glad to be on the US's "friends" list, but they're keeping an insurance policy all the same.
How does RabbitMQ compare with 0MQ?
thanks. AT&T was broken up in 1984 and the company became a 'long distance company', while the local phone companies were spun off to create seven baby bells --

there was no internet then, and 'long distance' was a monopoly. In 1984 MCI wanted in, so that's one of the major reasons AT&T was broken up.

The court realized that they companies should be restricted from these other markets, like long distance because they could vertically integrate-- ie, combine local, long distance, broadband, and control the wire.

Long distance -- while that market has been diminishing year by year, in 1996, the incumbents wanted to get into this market, so they created the "Telecom Act of 1996" to trade off-- opening the networks in exchange for entering long distance.

If you look at any triple play they still have a long distance component-- about $12 bucks.. not counting taxes and while many might go voip - the average customer just wants the thing to work.

if you want the full history search for the "Unauthorized Bio of the Baby Bells" -- also a free download, with Foreword by Dr. Robert Metcalfe. (1998) The opening in $300 billion was taken from this first book.

It's not ease of use I'm talking about, I was referring to API discoverability/ease of finding what you need.

Since the javascript code looks isomorphic to

outgoing messages whose subject is "JavaScript"

I'd think that the issue is not mitigated by a different syntax.
This means I may actually start scripting apps again. Applescript is a bit of a mess, at least I'm experienced with Javascript.

I wonder if this will imply (significantly) better debugging tools? Like a way to debug a javascript-script in Safari, sorta like iOS webviews?

The half a dozen or so times I can remember lucid dreaming I always try to fly. The only problem is that I start floating and can't control it and I start tumbling--it feels exactly like the point when you're tipping back in your chair and you realize you're going to fall.

They are conceptually very different.

Rabbit is a broker based on the AMQP model of exchanges, queues and bindings. Producers and consumers talk to Rabbit, which processed, stores and dispatches messages across the cluster. It supports both direct (one message goes to a single consumer) and fan-out (every message goes to all consumers) delivery, and can pick targets based on wildcard routes. Queues can be "durable", where Rabbit will store messages on disk atomically in case of a crash. You can restart Rabbit, as well as producers and consumers, and the queues will still be intact.

ZeroMQ is (despite the name) not a message queue in the classical sense; it's more like multicast TCP or UDP, with some message queue functionality. To start, since Zero is embedded in each program, a "queue" does not persist if a producer and consumer are not both running; any buffering occurs in the consumer, so if a producer emits messages and no consumers are running, the messages are lost. Similarly, there is no durability; all messages must be handled right away.

ZeroMQ is a low-level toolset for implementing robust messaging -- it could be used to implement a high-level broker like Rabbit, but in itself it doesn't compete directly.

>That said, Ukraine is also "protected" by the US thanks to a binding treaty.

The Budapest Memorandum isn't a binding treaty. A treaty must be ratified by the Senate, but the Budapest Memorandum was just an unratified political agreement. We do however have a formal treaty with Japan that guarantees military assistance.

Furthermore it didn't say anything about the United State's obligations to protect Ukraine with our nuclear umbrella. It only said that the US (along with Russia and Great Britain) would: respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine; not use force, economic pressure, or nuclear weapons against Ukraine; and seek UN Security council action if nuclear weapons were used against Ukraine.

Nowhere does it say we are under any obligation to respond with military force if another country invades Ukraine, it just says we won't invade.

I thought that in order to create a distributed locking system, you need to be able to reliably fence unreachable nodes. "Network Partitions" sound a lot like "Split Brain" to me. I am more familiar with traditional clustering solutions such as Pacemaker/Corosync and the GFS2 DLM than RabbitMQ, so perhaps I am missing something here?
ACT-R (Cognitive Archtecture)
Depending on project, some aims for obscuring or hiding the ultimate source/destination from intermediary nodes, as well as ensuring end-to-end encryption of all data.

Generally the idea seems to be that the mesh functionality is there to prevent blackouts, while the surveillance avoidance is down to layering encryption to various extents.

Key to surveillance avoidance then becomes to get enough "legitimate" traffic over such a network that just monitoring traffic amounts isn't enough to look for potential suspects.
No, not really. If they developed they technology and are trying to license it, and suing people that don't license it... That is not a troll. That is someone who is doing exactly what patents were meant to do... Patents we're meant to encourage people to invent.

Perhaps word it in a more friendly way somehow?

Perhaps that it was a bit too harsh, and humiliated the original author?

I've just started messing about with ACT-R a bit lately. Really excited about digging in and learning to use it and learning more about cognitive models. I have some (admittedly vague at the moment) ideas I want to research by way of using ACT-R based models as part of some Semantic Web applications.

It's also a good excuse to finally dive in and learn Lisp properly. I mean, yeah, there is a Java port[1], but I think I'm going to bite the bullet and focus on Lisp for this.

True, but even new people read on hackernews.

I don't know, but as a 40 year old entrepreneur myself, I feel like us "older" folks are more than competitive. I mean, I know I can do things now I couldn't have done at 20 or 25, just due to the difference in overall experience, domain knowledge, context, etc.

That's not to say that I specifically will wind up being a "success story", I'm just saying that I believe pretty strongly - in general - that older entrepreneurs can succeed. In fact, I'd say being older has a lot of advantages in general. The biggest downside for a lot of the older set seems to be this idea of "I have a wife, house, kids, etc., so I am now more risk averse or have less flexibility" or whatever. And there's possibly something to that, but since I have no house, kids or wife, I can't really relate.
I am with him. It was putting performance above reliability that has brought the industry to the current state of security exploits that cost millions in tooling, bug fixes and paying damages.

We are still very far from other industries where reliability is taken seriously.
