Disasterous :( For me, it has begun from evince and deadbeef, now firefox is on its way to follow.

The problem is that I am unable to find any compact gtk-3 theme that looks like xfce-b5 theme for gtk-2. Xfce theming engine seems to be broken under gtk>=3.8. The only possibility is to recreate theme from scratch and pray that nothing would be broken when minor bumps again. Hell, I am unable to find any theme compact enough!

Could somebody please help me to rule out: do most people really like that ugly-looking space-wasting bullshit like Adwaita (and other such nonsensical things mistakenly called "themes"), or is there some mysterious underground group guarding the treasure chest with human-friendly themes allowing only deserved ones in (how to become that one, btw?)?

Its like being forced to leave my simple but consistent country house (gtk2) in favour of tall block building (gtk3), using the lift (smooth scrolling) as an argument. I don't need lift.

tldr; Firefox won't be able to compactify its UI to the degree desired. Some users could clearly identify such situation as "regression". I am pretty much disappointed and annoyed of the trend.
Even if you manage to remove the explicit "reads" field, the "code" thunk is still going to point to the parent cells, so that wouldn't help the GC much.
No, because it isn't true. 10-20mg of adderall will treat ADHD in a hyperactive, but it will make a non hyperactive capable of repetitive tasks that require focus.

I haven't seen other mobile browsers support blocking 3rd party content yet. I think that's mainly because Google is the other major phone manufacturer, and their main source of income is that exact 3rd party content. Apple isn't burdened by that - they want to sell phones and keep them the best. Blocking 7 MB of JS that isn't the content the user wants is a good optimization.

The problem is that if health-destroying "performance enhancers" start to be seen as "acceptable" in sports, most performers will feel obligated to take them if they want to continue their careers, even if they'd normally wouldn't want to do that.

It's kind of how if everyone is allowed to cheat to pass an exam, the ones that don't want to cheat (even if the exam is so hard that they could fail) would be seen as fools (and arguably would be fools for taking the chance to lose the exam by not cheating).
Anti-doping in e-sports: World's largest gaming organization will test for PEDs
That’s pretty cool. I’d love to try using a browser like this for a while, but to be honest, I’d probably feel too naked to be browsing the web with no tracking-blocking extensions. No JavaScript makes a huge difference of course, but I doubt that that is good enough to completely prevent all tracking methods advertisers use (I’m thinking of things like third-party elements on a page, although maybe most of those are also loaded through JavaScript).
Commodities without an alternative (e.g. water) and natural monopolies (e.g. networks) should be owned by the public.

There is no point in having a market, when only one option makes sense or it is irrelevant which option you choose. There is no point in having competition, when it cannot improve the product or any process of its making.

In these cases private ownership just leads to cartels or innovation in marketing departments alone, both rising prices.

Having said that, the difficult part is to determine these cases and to figure out how to transition the privately owned companies into public property without stealing it or overpaying for it.

Another difficulty is to judge, when something suddenly stops to be one of these cases (e.g. postal services with electronic messaging as an alternative to it).

This is also something that I like. In my opinion, the programming languages environment is ridiculously fragmented, and one has to learn new tools constantly in order to keep up, without gaining any real benefits.

I would prefer it if we had several strong, open langauges that are complements to eachother and which would own the market so developers could focus on solving problems, not learning syntaxes and APIs. Instead we have C# and Java, Python and Ruby, etc.

I haven't seen much template wizardry in the C++ codebases I've worked on. It can generally be seen in the standard headers.

What boilerplate is that? Grain state interfaces are better now, and the Roslyn-based runtime code generator (https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/pull/528) is so close to being merged (so you don't have to include anything in your .csproj, even though that's automatic with the NuGet packages).

Whatever it is, maybe we can fix it?

Yes, I think everyone can see everything within the family plan (though haven't checked if just my account is admin). To me this is certainly fine for me/spouse/children/parents but wouldn't use it for other family and friends, which I assume is what actually makes this license work without being abused.
I was introduced to C and then C++ when I was 10 years old. I found the book on C by Arthur Chapman very confusing, particularly pointers. I then started reading a book on Pascal in the same series and that was confusing too.

But I stuck with it and have found that learning C++ has meant that I think in C++, and transfer this to other languages when I have to write them.

Additionally, the second thing I found was that all other languages I have come across (Obj-C, Java, Swift, JavaScript, PHP, C#) all have enough commonalities in syntax and thought processes that working in them is easy. In some cases, you get to consider them "dumbed-down" C++, and it makes working in them easier (and means approaches to things are different).

So it isn't a bad language after all. Particularly with the changes in C++11, it feels like an entirely new language.
Compiling to C would be better. Using C++ libraries from anything outside C++ compiled by the same exact compiler and same exact version of it as the library was is a royal pain.

On the other hand using C libraries is super easy from any language and something compiled 10 years ago still works today.

JPEG2000 just isn't that great, and DCT-based compression is very hard to beat. DCT with varying block sizes gets most of the efficiency of wavelets with fewer complications.

A poorly encoded block only makes a limited area of the image look bad. In wavelets errors in lower frequencies have ripple (wink) effects. It's mathematically easier to reason about DCT, so encoders can be really good.

DCT can easily create noise and sharp edges (even if they're fake, they still can create realistic texture), but any sort of noise and sharpness is expensive with wavelets. In practice it turned out it's easier to do DCT and then blur unwanted edges than to express edges to wavelets.

Not exactly: you don't get the O(1) access to the two previous computations with loeb. It abstracts the collection used for memoization, but it doesn't provides "locality".

The switch from older (VB6, etc) model to .NET could be compared to the switch from Python 2 to 3, only MS didn't wuss out and actually made the braking change instead of dragging everything out. You can call it "stabbing". I'd call it "necessary progress".

Just because an ecosystem is large doesn't mean it's good. I once tried to switch the automation in our team from batch files to Ruby. Huge mistake. Try finding any Ruby gem that: works, has the functionality you need, is well documented, and doesn't rely on Rails (honestly, I don't want to load a whole web framework to figure out a recurring schedule).

> If you can make it fast on MySQL, it just means you are doing it wrong on PostgreSQL.

This is quite the statement and inconsistent with your later point. Postgres never updates data in-place, and certain workloads can never be as fast on Postgres as using a different storage engine such as MySQL/TokuDB.
I've asked my eye doctor a bunch of questions (happens to be my ex-girlfriend's aunt) According to her, eye sight is pretty much genetics. Some people have great vision, some people, not so much.

I started starring at a screen in 92 but I was fitted for glasses in 91. I've worn contacts since 98 and 99.99% of the time and my vision has stayed a pretty consistent -3, -3.25 (in contact lenses) since.

Some stuff I've learned (about contacts):

If you get contacts that last 2 weeks - use new ones in 2 weeks - It sucks - Accuview (the brand I use) are pretty expensive (something like $300-400 for a year supply) but old contacts definitely cause eye strain. I generally change mine every 3-4 weeks.

Focus on something in the distance every once in a while. A benefit of being a smoker (if there is such a thing) is every couple hours I... go out for a smoke. Nice 5-10 minute break from starring at the screen.

If you don't have plans after work and go home and get back to work on freelance or a side project, or whatever - switch to glasses - glasses allow the eyes to breath and help rehydrate them.

Drink water! Eyes need water like the rest of the body.

Try something like Gunnar Optics maybe? http://www.gunnars.com/ I have a pair and wear them (with contacts) when my eyes are really tired. They help and according to the eye doctor, anything that can reduce eye strain is good.

Change your contact solution. I was using Renu solution for a long time then switched to bausch and lomb biotrue and my eyes have felt fresher since.

Wear sunglasses! With a UV filter preferably, but anything helps. People give me shit cause I wear sunglasses when it's cloudy but when it's cloudy is actually worse then when it's sunny. The clouds trap UV rays and that kind of weather can be more harmful to your eyes (and skin) then when it's sunny out.

If they continue to bother you, have your doctor re-test your eyes or put you in a different contact / lens brand. People are so quick to goto a medical doctor for problems, but often neglect going to an eye doctor or dentist. Sucks - most insurances don't cover eye or dental, but it is important to get those things checked out.
Two hundred a day for a well traffic area does not look like much profit, let alone that appears to be before taxes, fees, and other such expenses. This is for a business that would be very dependent of location but also weather.

Performance reviews and ranks exist for the sole purpose of giving employer excuse not to give most employees more money. "It's not us, it's you."

If your employees leave you in two years max anyways, excuse or no excuse, there's not much point having this excuse.
Using statement expressions and the typeof extension, you are able to write function-like, type-generic, scope-insensitive macros like this one:

#define MAX(a,b) ({ \
typeof (a) _a = (a); \
typeof (b) _b = (b); \
_a > _b ? _a : _b; \
})

The inability to write template functions can be compensated by designing your function so that it takes a function pointer where the type-specific action occurs.

Ask HN: Language compiled to Excel spreadsheets?
Hi!

Yesterday there was a thread about biggest problems with Excel. I’d like to ask you for an opinion on an idea - source code for Excel. The goal is to give people who create models and tools in Excel the advantages of having a source code to what they are building and maintaining.
It is challenging and time-consuming to build spreadsheets that are really solid, minimize the chance of errors, that can be unit-tested and version controlled.

The idea is to create a declarative language which lets you describe fields, tables and worksheets in spreadsheet. You are encouraged to use names instead of cell coordinates. For formulas you just use Excel’s formula language. There’s a simple “compiler” that converts that into a spreadsheet.

Compared to regular Excel:
- you can unit-test the source code
- you can keep it in version control
- it’s much easier to read and reason about (it’s auditable)
- the outcome is a spreadsheet that satisfies the best practices (e.g. formula cells are blocked, input cells are validated).

What do you think about the idea? Who could make a good early adopter?
