"I've always though of HTML as a way to hide the idea that it the markup is just an s-expression"

This is a historical issue with HTML. It's supposed to be "markup". The original idea was that HTML documents would be mostly text with some tagging. Since it was just "markup", markers that triggered formatting operations, it wasn't considered necessary that a strict tree structure be enforced. HTML5 still tolerates and parses such constructs as "Plain <b>Bold <i>Bold italic </b>Italic </i> Plain". This may be a holdover from the way things worked in UNIX nroff/troff, an early markup language.

XHTML requires that the tags balance, which seems to put a lot of people off. I thought at one time that XHTML would replace HTML, but that didn't happen.

In retrospect, browsers were made too lenient. It probably would have been better if, after detecting an error, browsers put a red band across the page with an error message, then continued to display using default fonts and colors. Then we could have avoided years of struggling with browser incompatibilities due to non-uniform handling of errors.

(I'm currently trying to figure out why BeautifulSoup 4, the Python library, creates a broken parse tree and crashes for documents which contain "<head><head> ... </head></head>". "kroger.com" has that. You'd think that the web pages of the Fortune 100 would be better.)
GitLab has been ridiculously easy to manage for us. Really my only complaint is that it's slow as all hell, and gives up too early on a lot of pages because of this.

Still, compared to the Perforce server crashing every other week (a slight exaggeration, but still), it's a marked improvement.

Well, at the very least, you should send your landlord a freshly baked pie and a letter of gratitude each month with your rent check as thanks for paying some substantial portion of your rent.

> note that it and least some of the libraries it uses are written by devs for whom english is at best a second language, so expect difficulties communicating

Considering that English is not their native language, I'd say they're doing pretty darn well so far. Speaking with at least one of the developers personally and via email, I've never had any trouble.

> don't expect assistance from the community

Well that's a mighty presumptuous thing to say about a lot of good people. By and large, the Go community likes Gogs and its developers. I've met Jiahua personally. He's a solid guy and one really dedicated developer. Overall, the Go community wants Gogs to be great.

If you don't like Gogs, you don't have to use it. But you're raising a warning about it because you think the Go community treats it like some sort of poison and that the developers are incompetent. Neither are true.

Why should the owner of the building have to lease the unit to Joe at a lower cost than he could rent it to Frank? (Joe and Frank are otherwise equivalent as stipulated by GP.)

Do I have to sell my labor to my current employer cheaper than a prospective new employer? Do I have to sell my used car cheaper to someone who once rode in it than I could to another buyer? Why then should landlords be subject to those restrictions?

I helped fix a few problems on a charity site and forum a few years ago.

It was a serious WTF of hacked together PHP, gazillions of files with hundreds of lines of similar code and it was hard to figure out what was getting executed and what wasn't.

Needed a serious makeover but that would require a lot of dedication.

I can imagine there are a tonne of such sites out there waiting for a professional to fix. I don't just mean coding but the whole thing - consult, design, coding, change management, SEO, etc.

Melissa McCarthy Shows Off 50 Pound Weight Loss at SXSW
Meanwhile your argument is super hand-wavy. There is not an infinite quantity of rich people wanting to live in San Francisco. I don't think it's reasonable to assume a priori that demand can not decrease absent rent control.
The real answer is to increase supply. Build more housing in bigger and taller buildings. SF gov is living in a fantasy land.

Uhm? Unsafe servers? How so? For me it looks like the ticket is about unsafe pages trying to mess up with innocent local services, like router http control panel. WSS origin is exactly what's needed here.

With the server being already running and meant to be connected to from a browser (as combination of WSS and proper localhost cert is proving), listening and explicitly allowing the client to connect, what threat is supposed to be there?

I especially see your second point becoming big by the end of this year. Especially with the rising costs in Silicon Valley. I see smaller cities doing everything they can to bring in these startups and even more established businesses. I work in a suburb of Atlanta, and it's fantastic. The commute is less than half an hour, the location is great - downtown Lawrenceville - and I don't have to lose out on the benefits of Atlanta networking.

That is silly since there are so few well off people compared to the mass of people who are not. What percent of rent controlled tenants would you say are "well off" compared to say the 90% of people who are not?

On roads, vehicles absolutely have a priority over people. This is so obvious, I'm honestly not sure why I had to state the previous sentence.

> Do some women take low paying jobs because they are often the primary caregiver for children?

There are undoubtedly many different reasons, which mostly boil down to individuals making decisions to meet societal expectations even though the alternative choice(s) were equally available.

> Nevertheless, the pay gap is a fact.

The trouble is it's a misleading fact because people will assume the primary cause is employer sex discrimination when it isn't, which changes both the consequences of the pay gap and the solutions to reduce it.

I think cloud providers are mostly good for small/medium, fast growing startups. Big companies need more granular flexibility.
The path to vertical integration in the software indsutry is a lot smoother than in many other industries, there are many levels:

You can...

1. Make your own hardware

2. Own/manage your own hardware

3. Rent commodity hardware from a standard hosting provider

4. Use IaaS (e.g. EC2)

5. Use PaaS (e.g. AppFog, Nodejitsu)

6. Use BaaS (e.g. Firebase, PubNub, Pusher.com)

The higher the level, the more technical flexibility you lose.
The bigger the company, the more it makes sense operate at a lower level because there is no significant wastage being introduced as you move down the levels (you remove the middlemen so you can pocket their profits) and the capital cost to move between levels is relatively low.

If you compare software to another industry like cheesemaking for example, if you're a cheesemaker and you want to make your own milk, the next step is to buy the whole farm and then you have to figure out what do do with the meat (wastage). Going between these two levels is expensive and could mean doubling or tripling your expenses so it's not an easy move to make.
I really dislike this trend of strongly written blog posts that don't try and make a logical point, and instead describe the irrational opposite of what the author dislikes.

Explicit stack-based interfaces are used for good reason: This allows simple accurate garbage collection (see eg. the Ruby API which requires somewhat error-prone conservative GC, Python which requires refcounts all over the place, or OCaml which requires annotating all local variables in a special block). A custom frame stack is also needed to have coroutines in pure ANSI C (two of the reasons Lua is popular).
I agree. FE technologies are in and out of fashion faster than anything else, it seems. Dig in and hate away and then maybe your knowledge will get a slightly longer ROI.

This article goes into a lot of depth on the effects of rent control:

http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/RentControl.html

"Economists are virtually unanimous in concluding that rent controls are destructive. In a 1990 poll of 464 economists published in the May 1992 issue of the American Economic Review, 93 percent of U.S. respondents agreed, either completely or with provisos, that “a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of housing available.” Similarly, another study reported that more than 95 percent of the Canadian economists polled agreed with the statement."
do those also feature the oxygen aspect? I assume that increases their precision.
Ask HN: Estimated costs to build a mobile app widget?
I'm curious as to the costs involved in building a fairly complex widget to be integrated into social (consumer) mobile apps. As an example, it would be like adding a "scoring" system option each of the app's tens of thousands to millions of users. Sorry in advance if this is vague, but I'm just looking for rough ranges. Basically, everything from hiring the developer/s to testing and launching.

Thank you!

In this case, those on the verge of poverty would also be marginal in the technical sense because a given price rise would cause them to choose to leave whereas those with more money might choose to stay because it's an easier choice.

The GP make simple and correct point - those with more money can wind-up choosing to buy something they "don't want that much" while those with less money overall money forgone things they very much want since they also need to eat.

I do not remember Theo ever telling me in the 1990s that he believed NetBSD team members were using their access to develop attacks. His opinion of the NetBSD team was far too low to give them that much credit. Theo was much more likely to believe that the concepts behind attacks were invented in the OpenBSD tree, and if he had a problem with how NetBSD managed its tree, it was that they wouldn't track OpenBSD fixes.

I don't know what Theo's saying these days. It's been over a decade since I talked to him. But I talked to him a lot in the earlier days of the project, during the original audit, during which time I wrote the OpenBSD advisories, sometimes at the Ship & Anchor in Calgary with him. I would remember this accusation. I never heard it.

Like most, my landlord's costs are largely fixed. So she should probably send me a pie for paying an unwavering percentage of her mortgage in exchange for zero equity.

But yeah, tell me more about how rent-seekers are getting a bad deal. We renters are such parasites, with our unreasonable need for stable living situations in exchange for the willingness to pay for other people's investments. We just take take take, don't we?
In this particular case, the word play (intentional or not) might actually be useful in explaining the problem. The idea is that, yes, for people who make the same amount of money, a completely free market distributes housing according to their desire to live in San Francisco versus some other place. But for people who don't make the same money, desire might not even factor in the equation. For a lot of people, being displaced from their homes because they can't afford it doesn't look like a cost-benefit analysis, it looks like well... being displaced. More crudely: as being thrown into the street and told to emigrate from a place where they have lived their entire life. While some software developer who could, theoretically, work from anywhere in the world, moves to the same apartment after deciding that "well, it's pricey, but nothing I can't afford, and the weather is nice". Economically, it might be efficient, in terms of say philosophical utilitarianism, it is inefficient (more overall misery than happiness is created, the developer didn't care about living in S.F. quite as much as the previous tenant cared about not being kicked out).

Not saying current rent control policies and development policies in S.F. are optimal (in the colloquial sense, economic sense or utilitarian sense), or that more housing in general should not be encouraged somehow. But the option of having zero rent control and letting the invisible hand of the market shove tens of thousands of people into the streets seems like a pretty bad solution, in addition to being a particularly callous one.
I'm not sure it's valid to compare Uber's response times to EMS's response times. An Uber cab can pick you up just by stopping in front of your building. But if you have a heart attack while in your apartment, an ambulance crew accomplishes nothing by pulling up in front of the building. They need to get into the building, go up to the floor on which you live (it may be a 5th floor walk-up, or the elevator may be out of service) and into your apartment, while carrying their gear. They also can't discourage you from calling an ambulance during peak traffic times by doubling their rates.

"Starting with SCA, Uber can begin to save millions of lives a year. It simply needs to mandate all its drivers to carry one automated external defibrillator (AED) and to go through the American Heart Association’s brief (only 4 hours) CPR and AED training course."

If you were having a heart attack, would you want your first responder to be an Uber driver with 4 hours of training or a qualified EMT? Would you trust the Uber driver to keep the batteries in his AED charged? Would Uber or the driver want to assume the potential legal liability of causing someone's death? What if you thought you had a heart attack but really had some other problem, like a stroke, in which case zapping you with an AED could cause additional harm?

By the way, I looked up an AED on Amazon, and it costs about $1000. If every potential Uber driver had to buy one of those, Uber would have a hard time finding drivers.

"With more investment, the emergency wait time can be slashed even further if Uber also finds the right partnerships to enable emergency lighting and sirens on its vehicles."

You can't just put lights and sirens on a vehicle and expect them to be able to drive safely through red lights. The driver needs to be trained in how to do that. In NYC, I've frequently seen drivers not stopping to let a huge fire truck with blaring sirens through an intersection, so it's pretty hard to do. No city would let untrained people try something like that - too much risk of death and lawsuits.
Female empowerment seems to share high correlation with the availability of contraceptives. For instance, countries where it is widely available, there is strong women's right and advocacy whereas in other countries, for religious or societal reasons, seems to lack it and women enjoy the same level of freedom and power in the 19th century.

This newfound glory of the female seems to have devastating impact on traditional familial values, where countries like South Korea and Japan have extremely low birth rates and marriages. In countries where fertility rate is not as severely impacted, divorce rate seems extremely high, leading to large number of offsprings raised with a single mom (as most custody ends up this way) and no male authority figure (shown to have negative effect on male offsprings). The single father who bears the grunt of the financial burden in low socioeconomic classes face higher chance of incarceration, harm and substance abuse. The single mom who make the living now must spend less time with her kids which has negative effects.
>> "Maybe we simply come up with better ways to build and design cities..."

Reading that, I can't help but think that the canonically best methods for how to "build and design cities" have been pretty well understood for decades [0], if not much longer [1]. We in America have just been doing it wrong on purpose for quite a while (perhaps in order to goose suburban construction and automobile sales?) So the problem isn't lack of knowledge-how, but rather one of political organization to wrest control of the built environment from the groups and organizations that presently control it.

The site is so cool that it just screams "fake". Cool pictures, not much copy, no details.

The big difference here is that they're doing photopolymerization at the bottom of the tank, rather than at the top like everybody else. This requires a transparent material that passes oxygen on the bottom of the tank, so the action takes place on the surface of that membrane.

They're vague about the details. How long does the membrane last? Is it an expensive consumable? Is the process gas air, or pure oxygen? Why do all the videos show the object being built slightly out of focus?

It seems to generate smooth surfaces nicely, but none of the examples have fine detail or sharp corners.

Understanding AJAX as a Beginner Web Developer
Hey, another co-founder here.

There is no reason why you couldn’t do that! we’ve even open-sourced a bunch of our components to help people do it - https://github.com/moltin

The reason we created Moltin was to speed up this process, bring it up to modern standards, and give developers the creative freedom to use the tools they’re comfortable with. By not going down the self-hosting route you also no longer have to manage the installation, keep the codebase secure or worry about scaling.

Our main stack utilises nginx, php, postgres, redis and a few other things in-between, we’re built on top of AWS purely for the flexibility it gives us.
