no the issue is that while it's true that complex library accessing native stuff in c are hard to port, you don't need the whole stuff ported under jni, and here is the missing link, the functionality provided by unsafe is limited enough (think of it as a building block for higher level stuff) that it could be reasonably done in c, using posix stuff and some patching in for window which while non posix enough is at least stable trough versions.

so it basically become write twice run on many things, which is good enough.

the problem is that it's not 'rewrite all the libraries in jni' but only 'rewrite the two calls you need in jni' - scoping is relevant, as we are not arguing about jni in a vacuum.
Maybe Google is distributed enough to stay up, but I'm pretty sure Microsoft and Amazon are not, and I doubt Google has the spare capacity to handle Azure load, much less Amazon load.

Americans are absolutely nuts about what they'll let their pets do.
It's not about how much data it hogs -- it's that for prepaid plans (which are the vast majority of overall subscribers worldwide), when your data runs out it often just completely turns off until you get another top-up card.
It might actually be the reason why you (and I) misread it. One of the theories of lexical access (how you retrieve the semantic content in your memory through speech/text) is that it starts with the first few sounds/characters and then just picks the one that gets accessed first, which is based on how often you use that word, etc.
I can't think of a game right off the top of my head (I don't, and honestly haven't, played that many).

But I wanted to comment on your site. Wow that's pretty awesome! Can you share a bit more about the technology behind it and who you are? It looks like you are using Meteor at some level or another. Very neat idea!
When I was elementary school age I saw some older kids at the park taking turns peeing on a drinking fountain (and laughing). I have used public drinking fountains since, but only when the need was severe.

There has to be a better option.
It's not something I'd expect. A shell deals with plumbing together programs and files, which are an abstraction over the actual raw filesystem (which is exposed by the kernel). For a shell to do true snapshots, it'd have to talk to the underlying filesystem. In theory this is possible I guess, but then your "shell" needs to be the compatible with the filesystem you're in, which is a very weird situation.

IMO a much better way to go about it would be to encode filesystem operations inside a monad. Then you could chain together filesystem operations to make up some sort of transformation, then after it's built up apply the operations to the real filesystem. It achieves something similar, but doesn't require any sort of filesystem support.

You can manually get filesystem snapshots with say `btrfs subvolume snapshot`, but the shell doesn't care about that. It doesn't ever deal with the filesystem directly, it either asks the kernel to do something or calls a program that asks the kernel to do something. To draw an analogy to databases (which are usually essentially based on immutable data structures in the sense that they're transactional), this would be like asking the postgresql command line client to handle making sure that the actual database manipulations are done transactionally. It doesn't quite make sense, that sort of business belongs in the postgresql server (which would be the OS kernel in our analogy here).
A little bit of knowledge on the “age of the pyramid”
Let's not be revisionist. The original Airbnb concept was actual air beds and hosts that would actually make breakfast. That was the business. That is what the VCs passed on because it's kinda crazy. VCs can't pre-detect when founders will be willing to sacrifice their original cute, but untenable, ideas and move to where demand actually sits.

This whole massive illegal sublet renting thing isn't what those VCs passed on. Those VCs passed on literal air mattresses on floors.

Sidenote: it looks like the mark is now officially "Airbnb", but their logo says "airbnb", even though it was originally AirBnB? No company with multiple capital letters is ever presented correctly.
I believe the parent comment was referring to the numerous hospitals or other critical services who rely on these infrastructures.

You can't quote the retirement age in isolation. You also have to capture the replacement rate, the percentage of the pensioners salary paid out by the plan. That rate usually changes as employers age, so that early retirees replace significantly less of their salary through pensions.

The UK, not surprisingly has apparently one of the lowest replacement rates in the world, even for people with full pensions. Greece has one of the highest, and was (at least prior to reforms, some of which may have grandfather clauses) notorious for generous replacement plans for early retirees.

Again: these aren't value judgements about Greek citizens. They're assessments of the sustainability of Greece's pension obligations. Greece spends an anomalously high percentage of its GDP on its pensions.
This is exactly the approach Elm takes. The recommended way to structure the application is so that the view is a pure function of the Model (application state). Moreover, the change to application state is also pure: there is a pure function that takes an event and an old model, and then returns the new model.

Having played the same games for console and arcade, they were definitely less fair in arcades. Some games had 2-3 times as many pitfalls and other failure conditions to avoid as their console version. Unfairness was a business model.

This kind of rose-colored article underscores this concept - it was said about people who were trying to remake Starsiege:Tribes in the late 2000s: "They don't want Tribes back; they want 1999 back." For some inexplicable reason, everyone wants to return to their childhood.
Rounding Algorithms 101
Question: How comfortable are you with well-upvoted and -participated-in discussion threads -- like the one we are participating in here -- suddenly dropping out of visibility on a community you contribute to in a matter of minutes, without explicit explanation and behaving other than how you might expect from the published details of the local ranking algorithm and official moderation policies, as this one has?

Your answer to this question might relate to the "popular" perception of the leader of reddit in the past ~year, whether honestly and solely earned by them or not.

Congrats, team! iTerm2 (esp in fullscreen mode) is THE reason I could never go back to windows development.
Acceptable risk levels vary from project to project, and often it is a good choice to de-risk your UI so that you can budget risk to something more important to project success. I am currently working on a manufacturing support project that uses jquery in a progressive enhancement style, for instance, because that's the most comfortable level for the team, and we prefer to have the risk in the part of the code that gets into the business processes. This means we use a framework, LESS (for bootstrap UI) and we support web standards. We do not support IE6 because one cannot legally purchase a computer that runs IE6 in 2015.

The article is making statements that claim to be conservative, but were too conservative for businesses supporting them to survive. In 2006.

This is a bad article. I had trouble finding the date on it, but on the site's index it states that it was written in 2014. This makes it violently out of date at the time of it's writing. You should not treat it like a good article because it flatters your prejudices about new-fangled web development, because most of the content of the article is flattery. Not only that, it flatters you for not paying attention to what is going on. That should be a bad sign.

Very. I have pet issues that I'll participate in, but HN is not a forum for resolving the tech industry's controversies.

To me, the most important moderation goal for HN is ensuring that members remain collegial and capable of discussion, even though we wildly different backgrounds and experiences.

"Hot" controversies --- Reddit is one, most political stories also --- can harm that goal. People get nasty in them. If dropping hot stories off the front page reduces nastiness, I am all for it.

Reddit is not HN. I have no idea how Reddit should be moderated. I try to minimize my participation on Reddit, because it's not moderated in a way that I find compatible with how I want to interact with people. That doesn't make Reddit evil, just, not for me.

(I am a semi-avid consumer of the "good" stuff on Reddit, though).
I'm sure he thought that was a clever solution.

Except that every time even one direction of the viaduct is closed during rush hour (due to an overturned semi or whatever) traffic grinds to a complete halt throughout the entire city.
The site is lightning fast! Very nice.
In the case of potable water valves, this is accomplished by preventing backflow and being made out of a hard smooth material. When you turn on a drinking fountain, the stream of water flushes any loose dirt and debris, so as long as you avoid contact with the fountain (the stream should be adjusted so that this is easy), there isn't going to be significant transfer of anything.
I love these, no more awkward aiming with the bottle tilted hoping you don't overfill and make a mess.
By 'systemic' I mean not confined to one company.
I think you're confused on how Reddit works. People visit Reddit because of the huge amount of content being posted, and reposted, on the site. A very small percentage of the userbase does that. If that small percentage of posters move away from Reddit a very large percentage of the 'silent majority' will follow them. Reddit has a hold of nothing. There is little cost to moving to a new site. With Facebook you will lose your personal contacts that you likely know by name, with Reddit you only really know most people by aliases. Popular things like AMAs and Ask(whatever) work because of mods working for free. Good luck keeping that going by pissing your mods off. Reddit is somewhat lucky because the lack of competitors in the sphere because it is difficult to monetize the user without driving the user off.
Has nothing to do with events and everything to do with attention and loyalties.

In an online community - just as in a real-life community - you can always tell who is actually invested in the community and who is using it for their own purposes. Take a look at the reception that Starfighter got on HN vs. the one that a random promotional post on the New page [1] gets. A lot of this is because you and Patrick have both invested in HN - you post about things other than ones directly related to your business.

Yishan made a lot of unpopular decisions when he was CEO at Reddit as well, but the community outrage was blunted because he was, to some extent, seen as "one of us" and the tone he took when communicating with Reddit was "Yeah, Reddit is a business, I have to make some unpopular decisions, but I care about the site just like you, and I've been a Redditor for years." The mistakes Pao made aren't all that different, but she's given very little latitude for them because the Reddit community views her as an interloper, a corporate CEO brought in who doesn't really understand the product.

It'll be interesting to see how Steve & Alexis do now that they're back at the helm. They have immense cultural capital by virtue of being the founders, and so far I think they've managed it well with their public comments. But the Reddit userbase (suspicious as always) is going to be watching them to see "Is Reddit being managed for my benefit? Or is it managed for the benefit of shareholders, and I'm just a product being bought and sold?"

Ignoring that everything else about reddit is designed to keep people hopping between subreddits and exploring new subreddits is, in fact, demonstrated by the idea that he thinks toxic users will happily stay in their own subreddits and not attempt to spread their toxicity elsewhere.

Furthermore, the fact that I am over here on HN complaining about reddit instead of trying to argue this sort of thing ON reddit should be proof enough that reddit as a "community" has changed so drastically that HN is somehow an IMPROVEMENT.
This isn't an anti-change thing. I have personally experienced the annoyance/pain of having to re-implement navigation in JavaScript. Sure, there are routing libraries that try to make this easier, but on the other hand, routing is kinda built in to the platform.

The author of the post made his point pretty clearly:

> [T]he application handles the browsing instead of the browser. Attempting to mimic the browser using Javascript is the root cause of the self-induced issues.

I think you're conflating "single-page applications" with what the author called "rich user interfaces". They're two separate things. A single-page application is defined by the fact it does not let the remote server handle routing. I think you're conflating the two because otherwise your rant doesn't really make sense to me. You asked for fixes, and the blog post comes with one: let the server & the browser handle routing; don't re-invent the wheel (badly).
Yep, it has already happened!

Nice idea, but 'internal server error' (per the linked tweet, didn't try it) isn't exactly a good reaction. IF someone thought that this might make sense, the result should not/would not be a 500..

For me, the credit cards wouldn't be the most useful, but rather the membership cards like Costco, Zipcar, gym, etc. The problem is that none of these cards are standardized (Costco has a photo of the member, Zipcar is a prox card, gym card is scanned by barcode rather than magnetically, etc.)
Fair enough.

Until when should Europe (Germany, France, etc) keep bailing out Greece. They did it for the last few years. The answer should not be "indefinitely". In fact, doing it more than 3 times is impossible... the trust is completely gone. After that, its just charity.

There are also remote jobs in the "cool" languages.

That's close, but not it unfortunately. I'm looking specifically for a UI that allows me to modify the state of every and any component at run-time, I have no need to replace any code.
After working on a pretty massive SPA for our company dashboard, I've kind of been turned off to the idea. Unless you have a really good reason, like data is live updating all the time with some sort of socket connection, it's probably not worth it. There is so much state you have to keep track of, which is just asking for obscure bugs. It's a relief to work on traditional sites where a page refresh gives you clean slate each time. With the framework we used we also had to duplicate lots of server logic, like model fields and validators. It's a bad pattern. The future is either in something like Meteor, where back and front end can share code, or in traditional multi-page sites.
I have tinnitus and it is aggravated by stress. I have changed my lifestyle to avoid stressful situations but it isn't easy.

I've seen those too. I don't care whether or not they have a filter (my water bottle does), but I do like that it just makes it way more convenient to top off the water bottle. Before, I had to tilt the bottle and that would mean I couldn't fill it all the way.
That's so odd that Ohanian was allowed to be chairman of the board, as well as be an employee, I can't imagine having to dance around that situation of having to manage someone who effectively has the ability to manage you. If the 'rumors' are true, he's effectively running the company from behind the scenes. Which is weird? Or is this type of situation normal?

As for multiple parallel versions installed, sure you can. All you need to do is packaging them using different prefixes. What you can't do is blindly use packages from the main repos; those are built to be used to support the OS programs, not yours. But even those are often made to have multiple parallel version: I have python 2.7 and python 3 installed, both from Debian's main repo.

You are confusing what HTML and XML are if you think they are similar. XML is a way to encode data, validate it conforms to a schema, query it, etc. HTML is more than the surface syntax. It includes an schema and semantics (the DOM, the CSS OM, the boxing model, etc). Using XML as a declarative layer on top of their UI, as android does, does not make it similar to writing HTML because of the completely different semantics associated with it.

Android takes all the xml layouts and compile them and expose them through the R(esource) class.

But that's how voting works. People vote for who they want to represent them. Yes, there are going to be parts of the population too young to have a voice. But later, they will and there'll be a whole new population too you to have a vote. You can't change that.

The important part is this; if you live in a country where you're allowed to vote for your representation, you are part of the government and share in it's successes and it's failures.
