Two kids allegedly getting sick after receiving an MMR vaccine.

I don't know if those terms are justified, but if they are then that's rather different from "two kids having a bad reaction to an MMR vaccine."

One thing we need to educate people about is that just because you get sick after getting a shot doesn't mean the shot caused you to get sick, and that even if it is, an occasional bad reaction is worth it if the rate is sufficiently low and the consequences sufficiently mild.
Absolutely, take static as far as you possibly can. In a world with S3 and Cloudfront, there is really no reason for a static site to ever be down. This is great for a company's marketing focused web presence. But often the reason you're getting all those visitors to your site in the first place is that it does something valuable that requires data persistence, which usually implies user sessions, which implies authentication flows, and all of this requires being able to serve dynamic requests at scale, so you need to figure out how to do that as well.

But we definitely serve too much of the web from dynamic php sites that could easily just be HTML files sitting in a cache or on a file system.

The ribbon is stacked button bars. Navigating the ribbon is as unsettling at stacked tab bars. One nice thing about menus is that you peruse them without clicking. Ribbons force you to hunt and peck through the layers with the mouse. Further, when you have no idea where anything is, it's easier to read the menu labels versus scanning the disparate icons and hovering for tooltips.
Why should it be a button, rather than having anything affected by a change automatically re-generated with cache control headers updated properly?
Nope. Read the end.

There are a lot of broad generalizations and some misinformation here.

I am curious what you consider to be the open web stack and why you think that Angular is not "compatible" with them. In my mind, it includes things like Linux, Apache, possibly Nginx, MySQL, languages that begin with a "P" and some other letters, etc. None of these remotely have incompatibilities with Angular. You want to sprinkle in some jQuery with Angular on the front-end? That's fine too, if you want.

As for moving off of Angular causing a world of pain, the same could be hypothesized as likely if moving from any set of patterns to a new set of patterns. I would not discredit it for providing a set of patterns, it is a framework and that is the point. Also, as for learning Angular versus learning JavaScript -- the same goes for most frameworks. You can learn the framework, and you can also learn the underlying, lower-level details that implement the framework. The two are not the same.

Doesn't work with Bootstrap? What? Sure it does. You can use any CSS classes you like, and as for the Javascript components, although not necessary there are even these native directives from the AngularJS team to make things easier:

React is pretty much environment agnostic. It supports server-side rendering because it works without a DOM.

Based on how they are specifically talking about not sharing code but sharing knowledge (i.e. same API, different components), I'd assume the environment-specific stuff is implemented by the actual primitive components (View, etc, the equivalent of div, etc, in the browser).

They make it very clear that you won't be taking your web app and just magically have it work natively. You'd just write your native app using React, too.

I saw the question mark. I also read the judgment right afterwards.
Would you allow parents to hand their children a loaded pistol and let them play with it outside, endangering themselves and others?

Remaining unvaccinated is the medical equivalent. Maybe we should let parents medically endanger their own children (although I really don't think we should) but we definitely should not let parents endanger my child, or me.

There is no simple answer here. It's not just a matter of declaring that free people should be left alone. Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose, and your right to remain unvaccinated ends when you make me sick.
Probably 3D Studio or 3D Studio MAX which had just come out that year.
For now, I'm trusting the comments from the various trade and campaign groups on that point. They've been in meetings I haven't with organisations like HMRC, and they all seem to be telling a similar story, though also with a similar lack of detail so far.

I completely agree that some official guidance we can all see and act on is well overdue on this point. There are several issues connected to the new EU VAT rules that are being widely reported but I'm having trouble finding official citations; probably the most important one I've come across is the legality or otherwise of declining to sell to customers in the EU but outside your home nation in an attempt to avoid the whole mess.

How is that working out? I know the argument is that it's working out perfectly because the free market would curb the behavior if it weren't tolerable, but that can be said about literally every other issue that the free market supposedly "solves".

> If you go to a club on a Friday night, the music is so loud that your conversation with the person next to you is "jammed". Should that be banned?

Loud music is a feature of the club. It is considered an attraction by its patrons. For your analogy to validate, wi-fi jamming would have to be a feature of hotels. It's not.
It literally couldn’t grow that much. It can only go from 1/4 of the web to 4/4 of the web. :)

Genetic Memory: How We Know Things We Never Learned
People must always have a choice to vaccinate or not, forcing it upon them will do nobody any good because it will only increase the distrust of government.

That said, if you don't vaccinate, you are a threat to the public and I do think you should be banned from public schools, public transportation, public gatherings and should have to explain to anyone you physically interact with that you are a risk to them and their family.

We should be showing anti-vaxers the error of their ways using facts, debate, and the truth. Forcing it on them only increases their distrust and helps sway others to their side.
The IBM Axe Starts Chopping--Widespread Layoffs Begin
It's hard to tell whether you're missing my point or agreeing with it. The idea that computer science is unique among the sciences and professions --- including detail, abstraction, and symbol-intensive fields like aerospace engineering and forensic accounting --- is itself an extraordinary claim.

It's also a counterintuitive claim, given the reality of what software development work actually is. A plurality of professional developers do little more than plumb connections from SQL database tables they understand poorly to front-end frameworks they didn't write. That's the practice that requires exposure from preschool, like a competitive concert violinist?

No. Not buying it. Sorry.

Try lower-casing it.

EDIT: This looks like a case of a common programming antipattern: you don't care about the casing for comparison purposes, so instead of implementing a case-insensitive compare, you downcase the strings and call it a day. But that's inherently a loss of data, and not having that data will eventually come back to bite you.

I was really meaning when you hit publish it would auto-reflow all the static pages. The great news is WordPress could come up with a static way of using javascript for things like sidebars so you wouldn’t necessarily have to repaint every page with every blog post.

Something like call partial (list of recent blog posts) which itself could be static. Two-to-three static calls and you could have a very clean and robust system with no database queries.
Yes! I guess I'm experiencing an awe at symbolic prowess comparable to that of only-functionally-literate people staring for the first time at the syntax-colored/indented walls of text used by programmers.

I had to download the audio example and lower the playback speed to a third of what it was before it started making sense! It is a reading of an earlier draft of the first bit of the post, btw, so there are several divergences which make it even harder to try to match text to speech.
I have to use Office at work. I have not liked the ribbon since it came out. It's not that I don't like new ideas. I am a SW dev and I embrace new. I change jobs every 6 mos just so I don't have to deal with old code, that's how much I like new things. The ribbon sucks. It mind numbingly sucks.

Note: Some of this was an exaggeration to drive home the point of how bad the ribbon interface sucks.
Counter example? I wish Adium would add more features. It's been stagnant for years and the only reason why I'm still using it is because there's nothing better.

For example, MSN file transfers have always been broken. They never managed to fix that before MSN's shutdown.

Google Talk file transfers are similarly broken.

No support for Skype.

No support for webcams.

All these issues have been open for years. They only introduce basic bug fixes but not much else.

I am probably in the minority, but even AbiWord looks way better than this new design - let's have simplistic monochrome icons on our 4k 10-bit displays everywhere! Also, the font on toolbars is sci-fi and not serious-work-like. Huge white spaces everywhere with gradients out of place. I like the new fonts (seems inspired by Yosemite) and the bottom shape panel is nice as well.
But you probably don't have to show that level of detail until the payment stage, by which time hopefully you do have enough information to determine it.

The anti-smoking advertisements aren't out there out of the goodness of Altria's cold, dead heart - even if they do result in more smoking. As part of the tobacco settlement in the 1990s, the tobacco companies had to give billions of dollars to anti-smoking groups. The largest of which, the American Legacy Foundation (behind the 'Truth' ad campaign) has over a billion dollars in an endowment to run anti-smoking ads. Due in part to these ads, the teenage smoking rate is literally half of where it was before the settlement;

> I don't like the new MS UI.

It was introduced 8 years ago. It is hardly new anymore.

While going to the ribbon 8 years ago was a struggle, I couldn't go back now. The context aware parts, realtime previews, and just organisation is too good.

Unfortunately LibreOffice now feels cluttered and overly busy by comparison. That's more because Libre/Open Office has stood still, largely based on Office 9x rather than trying anything new themselves.

I'm not saying they should copy everything Microsoft does. I am saying that they should evolve themselves and look at where the industry is headed. For example look at all of the UI concepts from the web and touch devices, they've introduced a number of new ideas none of which Libre/Open Office have adopted.

If I wanted to use LibreOffice on my Surface Pro, I couldn't, no touch UI at all. That's a little disappointing.
> There's no specific colour decision-making process where we sit in a room and say, 'We're only going to use complementary colours to try and move the audience in a particular direction – and only use those combinations.'

A lot of production designers would strongly disagree with this statement. The color palette of a film is very much a part of the decision-making process (pre-production as well as post-production), and it's used primarily to "move the audience" in one way or another, as per the film's theme and story elements.

It may just be that the colors within a chosen palette are often classified as either "warm" or "cool" - orange and blue being the most obvious manifestations of those classifications - so we tend to see a lot of them. Without contrast (literal and figurative), a film simply doesn't say anything. Warm and cool colors go a long way in helping the audience feel positively or negatively about certain story elements.
It's better because given the same input you always get the same output. For example, in Gentoo when one builds a package the final result depends on what's been built before. Or (killer feature for configuration management):

Suppose one has a resource for file in Puppet

file "blah" do
source "yada"
end

if you erase that resource, the file still stays there. With Nix/Guix anything not defined in configuration isn't present at all on system.

Another feature : one can install, for example, different versions of Python/PyPy/etc locally using the same package manager. Local and system-wide package share the same underlying files and don't interfere.

Rollbacks, very easy way to restore system packages/configs to previous working state.
One reason we're not at 1.0 yet is because the original 1.0 goal was to have complete SVG 1.1 support in, which will likely never happen. We changed the version numbering scheme to better reflect where we think we are.

The reason why we're still not there right now is because there are some essential things like canvas coordinates, fixed "flow text" support (so it works in browsers), etc that we need to rectify first before we're comfortable with 1.0.

If you're going to declare that this stuff is "not based on science" it would be really helpful if you could provide some external information that is based on science, rather than just declaring it to be so.

I think everybody reacts quite viscerally to JSX the first time they see it. Mostly because it looks like something that has been tried in the past and didn't work then. It's actually not like that at all, though. It's decidedly not a template language but just an alternative syntax for JS.

It stopped me from paying attention to React until someone suggested it might be the best fit for a problem I had and I followed the introduction's plea to "give it five minutes".

Turns out it's exactly what I wanted and needed. It comes with a lot of (optional but related) other good ideas like immutability and unidirectional data flow. I can't wait to see how React Native works out.

It feels really weird to tell you this, but I do believe that was indeed your point. The original statement was

"Those who care about civil rights and an active democracy are young"

to which you replied

"What makes you think the youth will be on your side? This generation is growing up with twitter and facebook as facts of life."

to which I replied

"I don't believe the use of social networks is an indicator that a person doesn't care about privacy."

to which you replied with a stream of insults. I admit I do have trouble seeing where you're coming from. If I misunderstood you in any way, I apologize.
If you have the right kind of friends you can play "Who knows the most obscure word?". Everyone picks a word from memory, check each word's position (We used to use google ngrams, but this would work well.), whoever gets the least common word wins that round, repeat until it's not fun anymore. That's how I learned defenestrate, obsequious, and a few other words.

I absolutely despise ribbon interfaces. They're a show stopper for me.

I am forced to use it at work, so there's nothing I can do about that but FLOSS is all about user empowerment and choice so I don't think I'll ever use it at home.

I'll stay with an old version of the package if upgrading means having the ribbon foisted upon me.

I like the idea of having an option to select a Ribbon interface or a Standard interface. That way, everyone can get what they like.
What you call "idiocy" I call "the government is getting it right for once". Just because you own a piece of land or a building doesn't mean you get to set your own rules that supersede the FCC's rules. By your logic one could commit theft or assault, and as long as they are in their own home while they do it, it's okay. Sorry, the law doesn't work that way.

Basically, the hotel owners wanted to make a chunk of money by forcing patrons to use their overpriced, possibly monitored Wi-Fi service instead of the patrons' own secure hotspots, and they used illegal jamming equipment to do so. The fact that it was their own property doesn't enter into it, and they are lucky the FCC didn't take their equipment as they have no legal right to operate it in the first place.
In my opinion the pill scene [1] has everything that made The Matrix unique. The color, lightning, costumes, ambience (rain and thunder outside), surgical use of soundtrack and the dialogue itself. All the elements successfully contribute to give it that comicbook/cyberpunk feel.

In contrast, the sequels don't have such simple but striking scenes like that.

Ask HN: Google Analytics tracking mirroring as a service?
We've been asked to provide logs which include:

 Date

 Time

 IP Address

 URL and Query (Domain will be found within the query string of the __utm.gif, as will Referrer of the page)

 User-Agent

 Method

 Status

 Cookie (so ensuring that _utma is logged)

 Referrer (which will show the URL of the page, since it is the Referrer of utm.gif)

And the best solution we seem to have so far is to have a standalone server, which only serves this gif and then use its logs to supply to the third party inspection body.

This seems very wasteful to me, is there any service we can use, which does this out of the box?
