I think they are a great Innovator's Dilemma example. Quarter to quarter and manager by manager they could always do better denying the coming reality.

I'd bet there were plenty of people within AOL who knew they were fucked in the long term, and I'm sure some of those actually tried to change things. But it's extremely hard to do anything that threatens existing revenue streams. Eventually the innovative people leave and you're left with the people who can't see the decline or are ok with trying to squeeze the last few drops of cash from the remains.

And really, in some ways they're only around now because they did manage to change a little. They've collected some decent content brands, which was basically an investment in the open internet.
quit dancing around your point.

the answer is no, it is exceedingly rare, because women marry up socioeconomically. no matter how successful a woman is, her preference is to marry someone equally or more successful.

people tend to provide extreme counter-examples to argue against this, but in the vast majority of cases, it's true.
What's the state about https://luvit.io/ ? Or are there other similar projects?

I think Nodejs gave JS a big popularity boost.
This is like celebrating that the Windows PC market is no longer "Dell" and "Gateway" circa 2000. True, but eMachines and similar low-margin makers don't necessarily portend a healthy, innovating market. The Chinese upstarts look promising, but with razor-thin margins, there will be strong incentive to include crapware and cut corners (RAM, sourcing internals from spotty suppliers to save a few cents,etc). Without an Android high end, it will be a lot harder for anyone to fast follow Apple features and accessories.
It would be interesting to see how client-side templating affects SEO, namely now that we understand that JS is indeed executed by the crawler.

"Niche" is a French word, but even in French it doesn't have an accent (and you don't pronounce the e at all).
Or have it built into the bottle, perhaps even measuring the current fill level.
"To see the value, you .. need to find value in something?"

I disagree. I think everyone is capable of empathizing with a market and understanding why something would bring value, even if it doesn't bring value to you specifically.
I am honestly not surprised by this. It basically means that every developer needs and expects higher salaries to cover the cost of living, and I imagine that's one of the main costs for tech related start-ups.
I slowly saw all of my Samsung-fan co-workers/partners transition to iPhones or atleast other Androids during my 2 year stay in Beijing. Ancedotal evidence at best but the quality of their phones and the software was subpar. I've had my Galaxy S2 for four years and only had to replace it last week. But their Samsung phones seemed extremely glitchy, would freeze at the most inappropriate times and have random battery issues.
With what I know about both companies, they are practically made for each other.

Verizon needs a gullible user base and anyone still using AOL basically is purely gullible.

BTW how does Verizon get away with breaking the law every single day: when they were licensed 700mhz by the US Government (on behalf of the US people) for LTE they were required to not restrict user devices on that band. Go try bringing your own non-verizon LTE device to verizon and see what they say (the answer is always no)
With "App Nap" and "GCT" Apple is pretty much saying that you no longer have to quit an application. However, I don't necessarily buy that.

Taking away the ability to "quit" an application will result in the less computer-literate consumer base throwing a fit about how the battery on their Macbook dies so much faster, no matter how optimized the OS is.

Give it a shot. Very little work to get it embedded as a scripting language into an existing Java project.
If performance becomes an issue look at Groovy, but it probably won't become an issue.
Because its so easy to integrate you should just do it without even looking at performance.
Even with the dragnet surveillance in place, the only thing they've prevented are their contrived "plots" that they orchestrated.

And the reality is, effectiveness is complete irrelevant: the search is unconstitutional, even if it demonstrably saved lives.

Americans are just too willing to throw their freedoms at the boogie man.
Duh? I can access hangouts from arbitrary browsers and devices which means, at best, Google has "my" private key and that is the same as having the plain text messages.

This is like the yearly "Dropbox lies about encrypting your data!" post. Any service that gives you access to your data via a browser without a key only you control is the same as it being "unencrypted" even if on their end they encrypt it with their key before it hits a physical disk.

Dead give-away.

I loathe this kind of thing. To me it evokes an image of someone who only knows computer science, and is entirely ignorant of other topics (say, history and literature) that a person needs to know to be a successful human being.
Except that Python's listen comprehension syntax was inspired directly by Haskell's.

I prefer W3Schools over MDN since W3Schools gets right to the point. MDN would rather have you read three paragraphs on the history of the feature you're trying to use, but I usually don't need a full history on my reference cards.
I'm actually totally fine with having to type in zero, noting seems that unreasonable about that to me.. in fact I think there's some value in drawing attention to the fact that open source projects rely on donations.

However I find this whole guilt trip explanation in serious poor taste.

Picture Congress grilling someone in hearings, and then demanding they be fired.

A few dozen times.

Then there's an attack, and the President gets to lecture us about weakening security. Then everybody hangs their heads and lets the agencies do whatever they want again.

I personally believe our representatives in Congress are terrified of being the one blamed for weakening our security.
Right, that's been my experience as well (seeing mostly financings of companies in the southeast US).
hacker news and reddit are very close to real time content.

reddit is almost a chat service.

your example is also very poignant as neither of those would get close to exist without proper urls
The point is that this system, while penalizing non-muslims, allowed a mostly peaceful coexistence between different belief systems in the Islamic world, thus demonstrating by example that the notion of Islam not being compatible with other religions is wrong. On the other hand, the tolerance track record of, say, the Catholic Church was fairly dismal until its influence over politics became dramatically curtailed.

Ask HN: What do you think are the most future-proof skills in software?
I'm a 29 year old UX developer (truly full stack, I do everything from Ruby to JavaScript to typography and user research studies) with a background in C#/Java and databases.

Of that, I really like tackling things related to UX and performance, but I'm not sure how future-proof that is. I've got an itch to scratch with Haskell, Go, Scala, Swift, Phoenix/Elixir and Node, and have made pet projects (or worked freelance) in all of them but nothing has really drawn me yet. It's like I have programmer ADD, and if anyone could provide advice on which skills would be the most future-proof to hone, that would be great!
It scales as much as is needed, which is basically zero. The rate of growth in the number of products I buy is effectively zero. I use one shaving cream, one soap, one shampoo, one detergent, the same number I used 10, 20, 30 years ago and the same I will likely use for the rest of my life.

Also, I don't need a wall of buttons, a few inside the bathroom cabinet, a few inside the kitchen cabinet, a few at my workbench, in the garage, in my shed, is all I need.

Here is a case where having ALL records is claimed to have been relevant: pinning the 2005 assassination of Lebanon's PM to Hezbollah [1].

As we all start to internalize the value of metadata criminals will avoid using systems that expose it. This may reduce the value of this technique but I somehow suspect it will not remove it. So while arguing that the data isn't worth as much as claimed certainly sits well with me and other privacy advocates I wonder how long that argument will last.

[2] The panel noted that the government never “attempted to identify to what particular ‘authorized investigation’ ” the data of all Americans’ phone calls would be relevant.

I think this argument is also weak. That the act of collection has been limited to specific investigation has more to do with the physicality of historical communication mediums. At least I believe this has a greater influence over those limits than the idea of privacy. So I wonder how far this argument will hold. I will be happy if it holds in "public v. NSA" but suspect somewhere in the future, under some other constellation, it may not.

Good job for the innovation!
That seems reasonable. If more default apps depend on a full python/ruby install to operate, that would certainly have an impact on the overall size of the image. Also, mono is used in many desktop apps now.
While I cannot speak for anyone else, I rarely ever use JavaScript and my "user experience" not at all "degraded". The browser I use, along with netcat, tcpclient, etc., does not even support JavaScript.

The only exceptions are when sites force use of JavaScript. Curiously, often these are sites where money is involved, e.g., banks, merchants, etc. I guess JavaScript makes things safer in those cases? Then one of the popular high complexity (and high security of course) browsers becomes necessary.

Perhaps it is because the type of content I consume is just reading material, listening material or viewing material. Each of which I can usually download and view with a dedicated application, if I so choose.

I used to think JavaScript might become unavoidable for the user and I spent time thinking about how to accomodate it. I often pondered how search engines would cope with it as well. But over the years I have changed my mind; I do not spend any time worrying about JavaScript as a barrier to content.

JavaScript can be a nuisance for non-interactive www usage but, at least in my experience, with some effort this impediment can be overcome. Whether the "user" is a nerd using nc or Googlebot.

Do you think 1000 years from now there will still be one group of people working to make the www more "interactive" and another group of people working to make the www more "machine readable", the later undoing the work of the former?
For me, switching from "old school" light bulbs to LED and switching my old PC with new MPB resulted in a visible drop in my electricity bill. It's not gonna make me rich or anything but it's a good start and I after reading this I believe I've contributed to saving baby polar bears too ;)
The standard of living is different in different parts of the world. Even relatively small savings can mean a lot in some countries. However, investing in cutting edge efficiency can be prohibitively expensive if your household income is $1000 or so. New PCs, monitors, AC units - they all cost the same no matter where you live. Energy does not.
Come to think of it, telecommuting and self-employment isn’t very power efficient. Although people don’t drive to work, there’s really no big incentive to use the most efficient devices. They cost a lot, and big companies are more likely to embrace these new technologies and products. They also get better pricing (they buy fleets of cars, hundreds of computers at a time, sophisticated heating and air conditioning and so on).
This 1000 times. Dealers are unnecessary middlemen and provide no value added service. They are a protected cartel and serve to disenfranchise regular, every-day car buyers. My last vehicle was purchased using TrueCar (truecar.com) and I highly recommend using this service to make sure you are getting a fair price if you unfortunately have to work with dealers. Hopefully more and more Teslas will be available soon!! I'd buy one on principle alone.
... and yet, here we are! if there was this huge market that you are positing that exists, anxious to buy PCs and laptops based on battery life, screen quality, etc, then there would be companies building products to soak up their money. but there is not such a market, apart from a few people like you who hang out on technical message boards, not nearly numerous enough to support such a thing.
Because, you want the pipes to grow.
I'm really curious. What is bad with W3Schools? From those 3 links you posted, the only useful criticism says "they used to be notorious for serving outdated, or outright bad information." I don't see any example.

If Verizon is trying to expand their wireless offerings into areas where dial-up is currently the only option, then having much more direct marketing access to those dial-up users sounds pretty useful for them.
What about installing a bunch of solar panels on the roof? It’s expensive and they degrade over time, so is it worth it? I know many European governments offer subsidies for sustainable energy investments, or cheap credit if you want to make your home more efficient, but I’m still not sure it’s an option for most people (it also depends on geography and a few other factors).
Cramming a hundred people in tiny cubicles under fluorescent lighting is cheaper than having individual offices for everyone, or home offices. Then again, working from home or working from a crappy cubicle… No contest :)

More and more people are either working from home offices on a daily basis, or bringing a lot of work home. The numbers are bound to go up, I mean it’s good for employers and employees, probably good for public health, environment and so on. There’s still a long way to go though.
The listed price on some vehicles is total fiction. Like for full-size pickups. Twist the salesman's arm just a tiny bit, and they'll come down $8,000 or more on price.

Which says to me the truck was never worth what they were asking. And that makes me suspicious about just how good a truck it might be -- did they use a bunch of cheap parts that let them drop the price that much, that easily?
Yes, but as long as the same method is used to generate the hash, the same browser could connect to multiple services and share the same content.

In that sense there needn't be a single service. Just a bunch of rendevous points for browsers-with-content to connect and announce what they have.
I think it all depends on where you live and how much you pay already (as the author pointed out). This is basically a guide for developed countries, with very high power costs. Investing in home office efficiency in many parts of the world won’t save you much money, and might not be worth it, although it is good for the environment.
Some of my first tutorials - glad you like it! :)
A lot of home users have already moved to laptops, but not all. People who are into gaming will continue using desktops, along with all sorts of professionals (designers and so on). I am talking about proper desktops, towers with big motherboards, graphics cards and so on. These machines aren’t going anywhere yet, there is simply no substitute. Most people I know still use desktops in their home offices.
That's what I call an useful post! My wife will be happy with all these ideas to decrease our electricity bill.
Haha, I thought of the same thing.
There is no 100-mile border zone. That's a marketing creation of the ACLU. This question was put to the Supreme Court in the 1970s, and the Supreme Court unequivocally held otherwise.

The nexus with reality of that "100 mile" figure is that it represents the limit of the distance at which the USG can establish a permanent checkpoint --- at which CBP is allowed only to stop people who have actually crossed the border. Some DHS person misspoke when describing that process, and ACLU picked it up as "the USG believes it has border search rights for anyone living within 100 miles of the border". Which is a farcical position.
Agreed, I can't believe people are taking that blog post seriously. It's literally FizzBuzz we're talking about.
Or any window manager that isn't part of the Gnome/KDE environment, for that matter. Personally, I love the idea of a trimmed down distro that allows you to install whatever packages you want on your own. Package managers make that easy, and I hate the bloat on most standard desktop distros.
Very fun.

Integrated all in one desktops, or small desktops like the NUC should be a good choice for many people. Of course, they can’t completely replace traditional desktops for everyone, but they are fast enough for most. If you don’t want to run games, edit video and so on, you can easily replace your tower with small desktop like the NUC or Mac mini. I expect to see more of them, along with more all in ones. Personally, I lean toward small desktops rather than all in ones. They make more sense from a financial perspective. They are easier to upgrade, repair or simply replace while keeping your old monitor. Plus, there are loads of panel sizes to choose from, and more resolutions including 4K.

Calling HTML a language is OK. But it's generally agreed that the term "programming language" should refer only to Turing-complete languages.
While I agree that shelling out is inherently problematic, all of these examples make me think ruby really ought to provide a shell-out wrapper that provides many of the partial solutions that "nobody does" for you. If not in stdlib, we could write easily a gem (that nobody would use, heheh).

result = shell_out('find ? -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep foo | wc -l', dir_path)

Would automatically `Shellwords.shellescape` interpolated variables, same as ActiveRecord does (hash params could be supported too). Would by default automatically `set -o pipefail` for you too, and perhaps even by default raise for a non-succesful outcome. All of these defaults could hypothetically be changed by option arguments.

In fact, I wonder if there already is a gem that does this, that nobody uses? :) If not, it makes me want to write one just for fun, link back to OP as explanation of why you want this. That still nobody would use except me, heh.

Shelling out is a hacky solution nonetheless, with a terrible performance profile, but there are reasons people use it anyway, and a wrapper like this could take care of many common gotchas.
Combination of functional and OO programming (i.e. Swift)
If the FAA gets it's act together then drones (aka flying personal butlers) could certainly be it. The disruption they could bring to delivery, courier, security, tourism, gaming, etc could be huge.

Also, self-driving cars (if they reached a reasonable price-point in the next few years) could have pretty profound effects on ridesharing, delivery, parking, congestion, etc. Could be a major quality-of-life changer for people in big cities.

But overall I think the most-important technology will be batteries. Long-lasting, fast-charging, small, powerful, cheap, recyclable batteries will be crucial to so many hardware-based industries. They are truly the stepping stone to many futuristic tech-trends.
I agree about the one megabyte at a time. I disagree that that implies it's likely evicted from RAM.

For one, if I'm running a MapReduce, it's either likely on the same data someone else is investigating... Or I'm likely to have to re-run my MapReduce a few times, calculating exactly what I'm looking for.

So, I may be cheating by saying "Only the first time is the data cold. Every other time, the data is likely to be hot in RAM."

Because you'd be right to say, "Well, duh. I'm talking about the FIRST time. And since I'm talking about the first time, moving the data across the network wouldn't be that bad. After that, yes, of course it will still likely be hot, just as you describe."

My only real response is, I think it depends on how much data, versus how much code you're talking about. And can you maybe even broadcast the code to the right nodes, to even more effectively use the network.

"in which case you don't have a mapreduce, you have a coprocessor."

...a coprocessor which uses the MapReduce API. Yes, I think that is exactly what you have. And it works whether the data is local or remote, cold or hot. One unified API for all of those things, and it's probably optimized to work local and hot, because I'm betting more than half of all MapReduces actually work out to be local and hot.
