Yes, you can use just simple function references, e.g. you could just define flatten as so

function * flatten () {
for ( const item of this ) {
yield * item;
}
}

And it would work just like it was part of Trine - in fact that's probably how it's going to be implemented in Trine. The chaining is not a feature of Trine, but the function bind syntax proposal ( https://github.com/zenparsing/es-function-bind ), Trine has merely been designed to work well with this syntax.
I am a fan of the sentiment behind HTTPS Everywhere but I wish you would spend more time educating people on root certificates and trusted CA's.

Why are there 200 root certificates in my Apple key chain? That is at least 200 entities who can MITM my SSL connection without my knowledge.

The trust assignment protocol is a vital aspect of communication security. What good is end-to-end encryption if I don't know which "ends" to trust?

While we're on the subject, perhaps it's time to take another look at Hacker News's ban of gawker.com domains in submissions.

While yes, there is a lot of linkbait trash, there are relevant original articles to tech (e.g. http://gawker.com/remember-brands-can-turn-your-dumb-tweets-...) that get caught by the filter. At the least, I haven't seen any of the former being submitted.
I'm really not focusing on financial compensation here (I'm more interested in discouraging people from breaking the internet) , with the amount of people affected that's a topic you could write books on.

I am focusing on liability though, I very much believe Telecom Malaysia should face criminal charges for this (I do not know if they should be sentenced though, as I am not aware of all the facts. That's up for the court to figure out)

In most countries (I do not know if this applies to Malaysia too, but I believe it should) denial of service attacks are a criminal offence, I'd say exporting prefixes like this would constitute as one.
I really don't see what's the point of defending Telecom Malaysia, a plenty of people manage to operate their equipment in a manner that doesn't break the internet.

Perhaps the point is that Malaysia is part of the world, and we can't realistically expect to exclude them from the internet, any more than we could expect to exclude them from the commercial airline system. Their network people answer to their customers in Malaysia, not to us nerds on HN. (Also ISTM many Malaysians are more concerned about earthquakes caused by exhibitionist tourists [0] than about internet stability.) I guess in some way TM answer to their upstream in GLBX, and they could get "demoted" in some way, but GLBX isn't going to just walk away from an income stream.

Many times when one node is blamed for network-wide bad results, the nodes that connect it to the network might be blamed fairly, as well.

Yep, that radiation hardened 486 was used quite a bit. I believe it was used for the Space Shuttle as well.

The Mars rovers have moved to a more efficient PowerPC platform, but its still old tech. Radiation hardening CPUs isn't cheap and the processing requirements for what these projects do isn't high (its more sane to just send the data to NASA and have terrestrial computers do all the heavy lifting), not to mention you don't run a bloated desktop OS on these things. A minimalist VxWorks RTOS is typically used.

Price? The RAD750 on the Curiosity Rover starts at about a quarter million dollars.

Money management works at all levels. It is just a lot easier when you have more to manage because your tolerance for error is higher, and you can thus be much sloppier and spend less time on it.

What I don't think works so well is teaching everyone to be good at money management. Ignoring the other possible contributors to being very poor (culture, prejudice, whatever), there is undeniably a component due to intelligence. We should thus expect some portion of these very poor to be incapable of managing money, no matter how much they have, and a better policy would be to manage their money for them. This already happens for some mental hospital patients that are out in the real world but need support for medication and housing and food, and if you give them too much unrestricted money instead they'll just buy a PS4 or something else that's shiny and the money will be gone, they'll have to sell their PS4 in a few months to keep paying the rent, and then a while later they'll be evicted due to non-payment. Better to give them a smaller amount of unrestricted money on top of the other aid, but in my experience the same spending patterns emerge (that is, spending it all), very few save, or save beyond what is necessary for a particular shiny toy. There is also a disincentive from getting a job that pays too much income, because their benefits are based on income-received and can be taken away very quickly, but that's another issue. My point is that such individuality-invading money-management could probably be beneficial for more than just the mentally ill, but it will be immediately dismissed by people intelligent enough to manage their own money and who wouldn't be affected by this as nanny-statism.
The Valleywag reboot started with Sam Biddle, Nitasha Tiku, with Kevin Montgomery joining later. Simultaneously, Biddle was moved to main Gawker after causing an advertiser to drop millions in spending, Tiku move to The Verge (later, BuzzFeed), and Montgomery moved to BuzzFeed.

Dan Lyons attempted to restart Valleywag but due to personal reasons it was short lived.

Valleywag has been dead since.
This is a lovely and very clear summary!

Two notes, which I also sent to the author:

* Renewal does work already, it's just not documented anywhere. There is a script that can check when your cert is a specified amount of time from expiry, get a new cert, and subsequently deploy the new cert by updating symlinks. This mechanism works now, if the script is run from cron.

* You can use the client on a machine that doesn't have Nginx or Apache, it just won't be able to install the resulting cert. But the client's standalone mode can obtain the cert and save the associated files in the current directory. (In this case, they also won't be enrolled for automated renewal by the renewer script.)

Nowhere did he say they were "distractingly sexy". He said men fall in love with women. That happens. He also said women fall in love with men. That also happens. If it didn't, the human population would be declining and not increasing.

His only sexist statement is that they cry (with the caveat that you criticized them). It's very ironic they are crying on Twitter - no less about something he never actually said.

I do not care about capitalists. They somehow manage to exclude themselves from this unfair redistribution anyway, so the most of the tax burden is on the hard working middle class.

As for the people in the poor countries, they're getting richer because of this process, to an extent that the capitalists have to move their cheap labour manufacturing further and further - just see the trends in textile, for example. So it's all levelling, I would not worry about this particular aspect.

"If their goal is hiring from industry, as opposed to from schools, I think I could credibly defend an argument that they don't.

I would agree ... if they were actually having trouble hiring from industry.

IE despite everything everyone ever writes here, google simply isn't having trouble attracting enough of the right people that they want to hire (despite arguments to the contrary that they aren't hiring the right people or whatever).

So i can't see an argument that they do it wrong as long as it's actually working.

Its not the code that's concerning, its the hardware. The idea that they never bothered to virtualize or emulate this in 30 years says a lot about how IT is run at that school.

A single developer could emulate whatever IO goes to that radio and have it controlled by a simple computer with redundancy. I wonder what they're paying the original developer to maintain this turkey. I imagine he's charging enough to where the sunk cost fallacy is obvious here.

What I find interesting is all the places where FOSS is lacking. There doesn't seem to be a popular and well managed FOSS climate control system. Is anyone making standardized controllers, thermostats, etc? This stuff should be a commodity by now. I'm guessing its hard to work with all the proprietary HVAC stuff and its also an unsexy problem to solve. I'd love to replace my thermostat with a raspberry pi and have a lot of fun modern features. There's a hackaday article about someone doing this, but its a pretty primitive project.
> I do appreciate him not pretending that a bunch of people making fun of him on twitter suddenly changed his mind he's spent 72 years making up.

Well, I guess I appreciate him not pretending to have reconsidered after the public response, OTOH, I don't know why one would appreciate someone not actually reconsidering such a position.

I fail to understand how, as often seems to be the case with issues like this, people respond with an attitude of "well, sure, he's got a horrible position, but at least he stubbornly refuses to reconsider it even when large numbers of people point out how horrible it is".

> accounting has nothing to do with maths.

Sure, but like I said, with a Mathematics degree you can self-study and get an intro-level position pretty quickly.

Otherwise, I guess you can go to grad school or become a teacher? Or, certain types of software developers get to do interesting math as well.
I thought self-teaching, self-taught, and similar were jargon that has been around for a long time. In the historically recent programming community especially it's all over the place: people who never did formal CS education teaching themselves how to program and are as or more effective than their Stanford peers. The difference between self-teach and learn is that the former is an attempt at learning through one's own will and direction, and the latter is merely a state of understanding the path to which can be from many directions (self-directed, teacher-directed, or just simple observation of the world around you).

This claim does not match the actions of self-identified GamerGate partisans. (Easily disclaimed as false flag attacks, right, because the world really is out to get you, I know, I know.) By all indications, GamerGate is "for," when it can be "for" something other than doxxing women and sending them death threats, a world where gaming "news" is, by and large, fed to you by the PR flacks of the industry publishers. You don't want news. You want reinforcement. Literally (Who) every one of the media personalities--no, not journalists--that get GamerGate love are telling you only what you want to hear, and to somebody with just a teensy bit of critical thinking, that becomes a real concern.

Your epistemic closure and your desire for its continuation is your own problem, no one else's.

> not a vehicle for censorship and denigration of gamer culture

This is always the best. Do you ever pause to notice how nobody talks about music-listener culture or film-watcher culture or book-reader culture...?

I guess I need an expert opinion. I'll ask my stepmother what gamer culture is like. Her Facebook news feed is full of game updates, after all, so who'd know better?

excellent post, pro-boxing has always been bullshit
I would love to tinker with this, but I wouldn't take the risk since it is not finished: "I guess because it isn't done yet" indeed.
Nick Douglas was a quality satirist, and under him things were a good balance of smarmy and smart. He was an insider and his writing was from the viewpoint of someone who loved SV but wanted to improve it. Ironically, he was fired for being too insider-y.

Biddle fancied himself a tech Jon Stewart, but really he was the crazy guy on the street yelling stuff at people walking by. His distain for everything and everyone tech was palpable.

I had hope when Dan Lyons took over (given his brilliant Fake Steve blog), but his choice in low-brow posts were incredibly disappointing. He said he wouldn't stoop to those levels, and then instantly did. I suspect he was pressured into it, and left because of that.

At its best, Valleywag is a sorely needed insiders view of our culture. At it's worst, it's absolute garbage.

Now I suppose we have things like @StartupLJackson on Twitter, or Silicon Valley on HBO to fill that void. (Not so coincidentally, Dan Lyons is a writer on the show.)
There's definitely progress being made, but I'm sure we could do better.

You are confusing mockery with argument. This is not intended to demonstrate that Hunt is wrong; the audience at which it is directed doesn't need that demonstrated.
It's the opposite. They're proving him right.

Most of the offense seems to be taken on his first statement: "Men fall in love with women." Twitter 3rd-wave Feminists twisted that into "too sexy for the men".

You don't see any men going on Twitter complaining he called them irresistible and distractingly sexy (things he never actually said anyway). Where's all the offence taken that "Women fall in love with men" from the men?

Them crying on Twitter about something he never said (and he said about both genders, not just females) kind of proves his 3rd point: they cry.
