> Then I tested it in Safari

(emphasis mine)

I use Chrome as my primary development browser and Safari and Firefox as my second and third choice. When I do get around to testing in IE 9+, it's almost an afterthought. Is it surprising then that IE is the browser that gives me the most trouble?

All browsers have quirks. It's inevitable when you have many competing implementations from companies that have different priorities. The browser you use the most is naturally the one whose quirks you will get used to.
Well, repainting at 30 or 60fps is going to heat up a lot of computers, demanding graphics or not.

Although you're probably right that it's mostly a Unity Linux support issue. My understanding is that Unity Linux support is mostly a labor of love from the Linux-using employees at Unity, and that it doesn't get a lot of attention other than that.
No, you can't. You can install wrappers around Safari, but you can't install any app that uses the rendering engine of Chrome, Firefox, IE, or any other browser better than Safari.
Something to note: Argentina issued those bonds under New York law because they could get better terms on debt enforced by the US judicial system than on debt enforced by Argentinian courts.

Also "used the US government" makes things sound worse than they are. What the hedge funds actually did was sue Argentina in the jurisdiction in which the bonds were issued, and win. (Though the ruling is widely criticized.)
I don't necessarily attribute it to malice either. Their interest in making money and being successful will motivate where they spend their development dollars in maintaining older software and keeping current customers happy on their older systems versus developing new features and software that will increase sales.

Precisely! This sort of mentality that the system has a duty to protect investors from being burned is completely upside-down in my eyes. It's the investors that must take the fall when the entity they invested in goes bust, definitely not the gov'ts at the expense of the taxpayers.
Germans were pretty happy lending them more and more money.
I'm not sure if this is accurate or not, but didn't Argentina get fucked by the IMF? I know a lot of those South American countries were essentially hollowed out by IMF and forced to privatize a lot of their natural resources resulting in tremendous amounts of wealth inequality and a shrinking of their middle classes.

Of course, this is along with US Military backed coups happening left and right to any country which didn't privatize their countries resources so that American and Western European corporations could get "their share" (i.e. Nestle which still controls something like 90% of the bottled water market in South and Central America).

No, they cannot. I have no idea where this lie started, but repeating it won't make it true: There is NO mechanism to kick Greece out of the EU/Eurozone and when the other governments try to do it the european courts will stop them.
> It isn't that particles exist in multiple states until they are measured.

I thought it was exactly that. Or rather, particles exist in multiple states, and when they are measured, either those multiple states collapse into one (Copenhagen Interpretation) or you, the measurer (who also exists in multiple states), gets entangled with them, causing each of your states to perceive exactly one of the particles' states (Many-Worlds Interpretation).

Unless Bohmian mechanics is correct, in which case no, particles don't exist in multiple states, but do depend on faster-than-light transmission of information about the state of other particles.

High Five Emoji Against Racism
Given that the author self identifies on his blog as a twenty-something I'm wondering if he's old enough to have ever really had to lift IE v. 4-7.

IE was a vast pile of shit for about a decade. It was pile of shit so high that Microsoft took out ads saying in so many words that its latest version "doesnt suck, honest". I tore my hair out for years over IE bugs. Fucking kids these days. Mobile Safari might not be as magical as you would desire but it is not even in the same league as the virtual genocide/superfund/WMD that IE was.

GET OFF MY LAWN
> First, is that taking away national currency is taking away the ability to print and devalue your way out of trouble,

This is only true for the United States and, partially, for the UK, any other nation on this planet cannot just print their own paper-money and convince lots of foreign investors to buy local-currency-denominated debt. It pains me whenever I see this opinion posted whenever the Greek crisis is mentioned, because I grew up in a country where inflation was running in the high-double-digits for an entire decade, and trust me, there were lots of "trouble" for the Government and for us, normal citizens.

Nevertheless, I think you're spot on with the rest of your comment, I never quite understood how come the Governments are so enamored with the banking system (to this day I think that the 2008 financial crisis could have been a lot less worse had Bear Stearns been allowed to go bust with no strings attached in the early spring of 2008, and its creditors to accept the haircuts). I also believe that no-one knows where this is all going.

Ask HN: Should I learn to type properly?
I am a software engineer and never took a course on typing properly. As it stands, I can type 110 wpm with basically no effort. I use my thumb for the space key, my index fingers for letter/number keys (unless in normal mode in Vim), my middle finger for semicolon/period, and my pinky/ring finger for shift/enter.

I am quite fast and have good accuracy. However, I am worried that continued typing in this manner will result in RSI. I am also wondering if I will be even faster if I use proper typing technique.

Lately, I've been attempting to get used to typing properly, but it feels very awkward, I make lots of mistakes, and I feel like I will never be as fast. Most proper typists I know reach 80-90 wpm max.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Another problem is that my pinky finger feels quite weak, yet proper typing technique requires it to be used extensively, especially when coding.
Yes, makes total sense.

In my case, my pages are the equivalent of Bob's, they are at the end of the link referral line. Users create content on my site and link to it from their sites. If it were blog or article type content, I would think there's no issue putting ads on the content, but seeing how my site is a web tool/app, it seems like more of a gray area. There's risk I'll piss off my users. I'm trying to decide if it's even worth going down that road.
I think that's kind of the point. If your web server's TLS stack is trying to validate client certificates, you're doing it wrong.
Al lot of both really. Also, realising that you are generally amplifying most situations through a self destructive filter and trying as much as possible to be selfless and calm in most situations. This all helps.

Rather then just downvote you, let me say that I (20+ years webdev) and my colleagues use our audience to determine what browsers we support, not our personal preferences. My job is to provide visitors to my clients websites with the best possible experience, not judge them on their technical choices.On the site I support, hundreds of thousands visits a year are from Safari users. Based on your comment ("deal with it"), you pretty clearly are not the kind of web developer I would ever hire. Or your engineer friends.

The word 'also' doesn't belong here. Browsers on iOS don't tend to use core iOS components (WebView) : they are forced to. Your statement really isn't a counter point.

Stealth unfortunately does not make the plane invisible, just harder to detect by radar. But for CAS missions, you're going to be seen anyway, so stealth is useless there.

There's nothing wrong with client certs (other than insane complexity). However ultimately s2n is likely to need to support operation as a client too at which point things like certificate validation etc. will be needed and the amount of code will increase.

Don't worry too much if you don't get the esoteric stuff in the beginning. The fact that it's there just means that there's room to grow. The core language is actually very simple and quite straightforward. It just allows for some quite mind-boggling stuff.

You don't need to learn every feature to be competent in the language. Some features are advanced features that are not required in day-to-day programming (eg, transients, you can go forever without ever touching them, but if you need performance they're there). A lot of the advanced things are of most interest to library authors.

> On October 6, the Icelandic legislature instituted an emergency law which enabled the Financial Supervisory Authority to take control over financial institutions and made domestic deposits in the banks priority claims. In the following days, new banks were founded to take over the domestic operations of Kaupthing, Landsbanki and Glitnir. The old banks were put into receivership and liquidation, resulting in losses for their shareholders and foreign creditors. Outside Iceland, more than half a million depositors lost access to their accounts in foreign branches of Icelandic banks. This led to the 2008-2013 Icesave dispute, that ended with a ESA ruling that Iceland was not obliged to repay Dutch and British depositors minimum deposit guarantees.

So, what you're saying is default and fuck over foreign investors.

It is one of the simplest and easiest languages around.

The addition of transducers is an unfortunate case of Clojure "pulling a Haskell", valuing an elegant abstraction over ease of understanding and learning. Indeed, your comment alone shows that doing them (and especially giving them a high profile) was a mistake. Just because you can abstract something elegantly doesn't mean you should. No beautiful abstraction is worth scaring people away. Fortunately, Clojure doesn't make many such mistakes, and it usually tries to err on the side of pragmatism. I hope transducers aren't the beginning of a trend.

But just don't use transducers until you feel comfortable enough with the language. They're not an essential feature.
No need. Getting started, and to a level where you can be productive, is very easy. LISP is a very simple language, and lots of the features of Clojure mean that it's simple in practice too. That's compared to Haskell and Scala, which do require a little theory in order to get started.

IMHO.

There will perhaps come a time, where you want to know about and transducers, but by that time the concepts won't seem intimidating.
While it's dated "6/30/15", it's an "encore selection -- from Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep", published in 2012.

The topic has hit the pages of HN before. From a bit over two years ago are the 107 comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5542453 . One of the commenters there pointed to the 2009 paper "In short photoperiods, human sleep is biphasic", at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2869.1992.... . More background on Wehr's argument for biphasic sleep is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmented_sleep and http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16964783 .
It's a mixed bag thus far.

China has successfully flown three pre-serial production prototypes that met spec. It's been spotted with ELINT and weapons hard points. Full production is slated for 2018.

However, they've been having severe difficulties with engine development. Most of the demonstration flights were done using outdated engines (usually the WS-10.) Once the production engine is functional (the WS-15), it should be able to lay claim to being a true Fifth Generation fighter and F-22 competitor.

If they can't get the WS-15 working, they'll probably have to buy Russian Su-35's NPO Saturn 117S engines used in the Sukhoi Su-35, which they've been negotiating, but it would make the J-20 more of a 4++ Generation fighter.

The front stealth shape is nearly identical to the F-22 Raptor, however it uses canards to give it some aerial superior advantages at a high angle of attack. But this comes with a tradeoff of some stealth, especially on profile as opposed to head-on, and sacrifices aerodynamic stability making it heavily reliant on its fly-by-wire system.
Actually the learning curve is very gentle, and you can gradually expand from basic features into the more advanced stuff when ready. Many of the Clojure features that have sophisticated underlying design principles (like transducers) can be used cookbook style from easy-to-understandable examples. Jump in, the water's warm.

Just in case you're serious: Not using autotools is a feature, not a bug.
They are to blame for the mistakes committed up until the bailout. The destructive IMF/ECB mandated policies, that held down Greece's economy from any possibility of meaningful recovery all the while making the citizens poorer and poorer, all so that the big banks could effectively have the risk from their investments offloaded to the taxpayers, is totally not Greece's fault.
I was wondering the same thing. One of the original challenges to the shared currency question was its implicit subjugating of sovereignty to the currency oversite committee. Back during the voting I recall an editorial asking people if they would let their neighbors balance their checkbook, why would they let Brussels run their currency. And of course if you can make the government do what ever you want to its people in order to keep it solvent, is it really in charge?

Europe went for a much looser union than the union of the United States. It has never been clear to me how you could have an economic federal government but not a military nor social federal government. Greece is putting that question to the test and the outcome will have a big impact on the future of the EU.
I'm not sure the exact experiment performed in the article (which sounded similar), but I've always thought the delayed choice quantum eraser was about the best example of this, once you spend some time understanding the experiment and results:

> What was the rivalry like?

It was pretty close in terms of wins against each other. However Sampras has won more matches that _really_ mattered (in Grand Slam tournaments).

Also, they had 2 completely different styles of play (on top of having completely different personalities). Sampras had a great serve (his second serve is still considered the best of all times) and came to the net a lot (serve-and-volley tennis). Agassi, on the other hand, was a great returner of serve (probably the best of all times until Djokovic showed up) and had devastating ground strokes (stepping into the court and hitting the ball early on the rise). That difference made their rivalry extremely entertaining.
Don't know why you were downvoted. Docker doesn't give you reproducible builds because you're still running in a raw host OS environment with all its state, but simply the subsystems partitioned into their own namespaces. Docker is more akin to a snapshot than reproducible.
This was the problem in 2010 and as far as I understood it a lot of e.g. German banks would say: We are done if they default... that's why they shifted the debt to the IMF/European countries.
It feels better cuz it's less bloated. :) Eventually you'll be running Arch / Gentoo to cut out all the bloat 'cept what you need. :P
