Code is going to disappear - estraschnov
http://make.bubble.is/post/90659170481/code-is-going-to-disappear
======
davideschiera
A very interesting source of thoughts is the work done by Bret Victor
[http://worrydream.com/](http://worrydream.com/) (take a look at Recent Output
section).
Code the way we know it today will change. After all, human languages keep
changing.
However, changes will happen in a very natural way, with selection of the best
compromise between efforts and results. For instance, programming languages
might not change that much while we might end up with more and more powerful
frameworks to build software.
Nevertheless, next 50 years of evolution will be very very interesting to
follow.
~~~
estraschnov
Yeah Bret has some very interesting points. I don't think he's shipping stuff
anymore, that's kinda sad...
I agree with your point about frameworks, Bubble is a framework in some ways.
However, my point was that at some point, creating software will not be done
via typing code, but more through a more pleasant input/user experience
(independently of the framework, which will of course evolve).
~~~
davideschiera
Ok, that's a good and hopefully true point. Code and tools will both evolve,
eventually you might not deal directly with code but with the abstraction
offered by such tools.
Code itself won't likely disappear. It will be just buried behind more and
more layers of abstractions.
------
rnovak
Code wont disappear unless there's some magical evolution of the PC.
Last time I checked, the idea of a universal computer came from Robert Turing
several decades ago, and no one has even come close to revolutionizing that.
Even quantum computers fundamentally are hardware devices that emulate other
computational machines through means of software/algorithmic theory. It hasn't
changed, and it wont.
Just because you can understand a couple languages doesn't mean you understand
computation.
~~~
estraschnov
When I said code will disappear, I mean people won't use it as much as they do
today. Code will still be there, assembly language is still there for
instance. I agree with that point.
I'm just saying that at some point, more people will be creating software, and
for most of them, they won't use code, but something more visual. Similarly,
today, most people don't use assembly language any more.
In other words (back to what we do at Bubble), we're trying to make of
JS/Python/Ruby what assembly language is today.

Translating an ARM iOS App to Intel macOS Using Bitcode - sjuut

The intro makes it sound like this could be feasible for translating x86 Mac
apps into ARM Mac apps.

Right. The flag to enable bitcode isn't even visible in Xcode for Mac apps.
There's no such thing as Mac/x86 bitcode yet, in or out of the MAS. And:
> ARC appears to use some inline assembly, which means you'll need to disable
> ARC for a project for arm64-to-x86 translation to succeed right now.
So this approach will only work on Objective-C programs, written in a pre-2011
style -- which I'd bet is a vanishingly small fraction of the apps on the MAS
today.
It's a neat exercise in what is possible for a simplest-possible-app, but it's
hard to imagine Apple would actually use this approach. It'd require them to
ship a couple big new features in Xcode, and then for everyone on the MAS to
recompile their apps using those features. Easier all around to just add a new
architecture in Xcode the normal way, and have developers compile fat
binaries.
~~~
Someone
_”ARC appears to use some inline assembly, which means you 'll need to disable
ARC for a project for arm64-to-x86 translation to succeed right now.”_
That’s fairly easily fixed, certainly if you’re Apple. They already have the
equivalent x86 code (Swift and modern Objective-C couldn't exist without it),
so they could detect the specific inline ARM code fragment and replace it by
the equivalent inline x86 code.

This is rather "embed intermediate representation, extract, run another
target's back end, and link". I was hoping this would be explaining how to go
from ARM by uplifting executable to LLVM IR and retargeting for Intel. This is
notionally already possible with ELF and PE executables using McSema
([https://github.com/trailofbits/mcsema](https://github.com/trailofbits/mcsema)).
If anyone is working on this please email me (address in profile), it's
something we slated for a future research project and I'd love to talk.

I would be _very_ surprised (and impressed!) if Apple managed to pull this
off. With the bitcode transition on watchOS Apple had full control over the
ABI and architecture that they were going to target: this isn't the case for
x86. Sure, this works for the very simple case presented here, but I forsee it
quickly breaking down for any non-trivial application. At the very least, it
will not work correctly on _every_ application.

Who's "we"? If you mean Apple, their IR (bitcode) is alomst a 100% the same as

The universe is teeming with cross architecture IRs. Eventually, LLVM will
have a cross platform LLVM-IR, which will possibly be even more impactful than

The shady economics of ‘buy one, get one free’ deals - zzaner
https://thehustle.co/are-buy-one-get-one-free-deals-worth-it/
======
rlue
What makes this really interesting is how living in an economy where prices
are both set by the seller and non-negotiable causes consumers to equate
asking price with value.
As a consequence, BOGO feels like a better deal than one item at 50% off MSRP.
A 50% discount is a change in the asking price; the value of this item must
have depreciated in some way for the seller to want to get rid of it (e.g.,
this garment is going out of season), and the price I'm paying is a fair deal
that I'm happy to accept because I don't need to indulge in extravagances.
But in a BOGO deal, the asking price hasn't moved (or, as the article
discusses, may actually be inflated); the fact that I paid full price means
that it retains its original value, and the one they throw in is simply an
enticement. In other words, I purchased an extravagance at full price, but it
was a deal because I walked out with two. The amount paid is double the
previous example's, but the perceived value is fourfold.
This isn't even getting into the actual value of perceived value (cf. the
sticker price of wine vs. its perceived quality). Really interesting stuff.
~~~

> This isn't even getting into the actual value of perceived value (cf. the
> sticker price of wine vs. its perceived quality). Really interesting stuff.
I fall foul of this trick quite a lot when food shopping. For example if I'm
buying a box of cereals and I see one is priced at £1.80 and another is priced
at £2.50 but is on sale from £3.50 I'll buy the more expensive one because I'm
under the illusion that I'm getting a good saving and a better quality
product. In actual fact though I've just spend quite a bit more for a
marginally better, if not the same quality item.
~~~
maaaats
Even without discount on the more expensive one, it can be used as a marketing
trick to make you buy more expensive. For instance offer three versions of a
product: $1 branded as cheap/bad, $2 branded as good, $5 branded as luxury.
The last one exists mainly to anchor the value of the $2 as also cheap and to
make you buy it. If one only had the choice between $1 and $2, most people
would choose $1 option.
~~~
chriswarbo
I agree that there's been a move to split "Store Brand X" into "Store Basics
X", "Store Brand X" and "Store Finest X", and that the "basic" product is
often perfectly good.
However, for broader product categories, there's also a tendency for the most
and least expensive products to be outliers, with the cheapest being barely
enough to justify the label and the dearest being aimed at rich suckers. Hence
the heuristic of getting the 2nd cheapest (especially if it's a one-off
consumable, where savings won't accumulate); or, if splashing out, getting the
2nd most expensive.
In my experience this definitely applies to things like wine and chocolate,
where the scale is roughly:
|
Q|
u| x
a| x
l| x x x x
i| xx x
t|
y|
|x

In some cases, businesses know consumers are following some heuristic like
this, and counter-strategize accordingly (or so I've heard). According to this

I feel that there is a wealth/background effect here that could be studied
somewhat too. I think people who don't have to worry about money are less
likely to pay any attention to discounts and deals.
Having come from a council estate, there is a certain mindset behind getting a
deal for everything, making your little money go as far as possible, buy one
get one free, or discounts on anything, or coupons to get into restaurants or
discounted vacations, or companies that "get you deals" on all your electric,
gas, TV, internet bills, 8 packs of cheap beer, etc. are all seen as victories
and you are crazy for not taking advantage of them. There's an emphasis on
getting more quantity for less money. That's easily exploited.
~~~
hannob
I don't have hard numbers to quote on this, but I'm very convinced that you
end up paying more in the end.
From my own experience and pretty much every one I talk about this, people
have a tendency to buy things they'll never need. (I constantly try not to do
that, but it takes active thinking about it all the time.) No discount deal is
cheaper than the one where you don't buy something you don't need.
Then there's underestimated costs that aren't immediately visible. If you buy
more stuff of items that you use over a longer timeframe you'll have to store
them. Which of course means you're paying rent for the space in your flat
that's taken up by excess stuff.

A long running promotion in Tesco is 3 bottles of any brand beer for £5.25. I
can't imagine anyone ever goes into a store with the intention of buying 3

In reality, you're spending more and drinking more than you really want to.

I recently went to a department store called Kohl's for the first time with my
wife, who'd been shopping there for years. For those unfamiliar with this
store, think something similar to a JC Penney's. What struck me was that above
every item was some digital signage showing a discounted price or promotion
(B1G1 Free, 25% off, etc.), along with the MSRP price. So basically, anything
I looked at seemed like a great deal. They also have a rewards program whereby
you get "Kohl's cash" whenever you reach some threshold for purchases
(something like $5.00 Kohl's cash for every $100 spent), which effectively
gives you a discount.
Of course, I soon realized that this was all simply a tactic to encourage
people to continue to spend their money in the store, an effective one at
that. The "sale" price was really no different than the standard price at any
other retail store. It was just the perception of getting a good deal and
triggering the dopamine receptors in the brain. I told my wife this, but her
reaction was one of incredulity. Her thinking was she was saving money by
shopping there. It's such a simple, yet brilliant tactic. Make people feel
like they're getting a good deal, and they'll spend more money than they
otherwise would.

You will find people vigorously defending their behaviour when challenged on
this. For example: Amazon Prime.
Amazon Prime is a product that costs you money and makes you spend more money
on Amazon, and yet people will defend their spending saying that they are
"saving" money.
The shipping is "free" but you have to spend £8 a month to qualify. If you
don't spend at amazon during that month you are still down £8 (that's about
£100 a year). If you spend something at amazon during the month you are still
down the £8 in addition to the money spent at something.
Amazon Prime is a shady product designed to get you to spend money at Amazon.
As the article says often you will find the same product for lower in other
places. You just need to do the sums. Another common defence we will see when
people respond to this is "Oh I know it doesn't save me money, it's the
convenience".
Retailers love making their customers comfortable and not thinking about these
shady offers. Imagine having millions of customers so happy they will pay more
money to you _and_ defending this very process.
Now... there's also the shady dark patterns the company uses to sign you up
for it and make it it harder for you to cancel, but that's another thing!
~~~

I'm embarrassed to say Amazon got me with this trap a few times. I'm at the
checkout with a $19 mouse but amazon reminds me that I could get free shipping
if I get to the $25. So I go back and look for something I need for $6 bucks.
Can't find anything I need for $6 bucks so out of frustration I somehow end up
with a $70 worth of stuff I don't need just to save a couple of bucks on
shipping.

mneubrand
What worked for me is to settle on a generic filler item. Personally I use
toothpaste. Costs a decent amount, can be stored for a long time, doesn't need
much space and I'll need it eventually. This way I don't go looking around
randomly but just always fill the gap with that item.

Buying the right BOGOF items saves money. For instance, after spending a lot
of time trying different options, I now know exactly what face soap I want and
I also know the price it sales for. From time to time, it'll be sold as a
BOGOF, so providing the price makes sense (i.e. it is the normal price or less
than 200% of the normal price) then it is a good buy (it has long shelf life,
and will always be used).
I use up about 1.5 loaves of bread per week, so some weeks I buy one loaf,
some weeks I buy 2. If it is a week where I only need one, but it is BOGOF I
just buy 2 and put on in the freezer (and then take it out the following
week). It is a similar story for cheese (although that doesn't need to be
frozen, staying in the fridge, sealed, lasts for long enough).
One of the bigger savings we have got from a food perspective is to move
towards making a 'menu' of food we are going to eat that week. Then buying the
ingredients needed for each dish. This means little or no wastage (good on so
many levels), being able to buy at a good price (rather than not getting
something required then picking it up at somewhere convenient buy more
expensive halfway through the week) and knowing the quantities up front makes
it easier to either buy in bulk, or knowing when a deal that involves extra
quantity will be suitable.
The above approach has also meant eating much healthier food, not finding
ourselves in a position where we order take away because we don't have
anything in. Ensuring we have not only meals planned, but healthy snacks
(fruit etc) factored in too. It isn't a binary choice of by doing this we get
everything 100% perfect, but it has been a hugely noticeable improvement.
I have read several times that some of these approaches and typically favoured
by those who have more disposable income, which isn't ideal, as we really want
those with less income to be getting all the good savings to try to ease/stop
the wealth gap.

The disposable nature of income is orthogonal to wealth. It is possible and
common to be wealthy and still be broke. Consider the pro athletes earning 7-8
figure income that are still forced into bankruptcy. It is also unrealistic to
think people who are weak at saving money need a nanny to follow them around
and police their spending habits in an effort to close the wealth gap.
The most straight forward means to close the wealth gap is to tax capital
gains as regular income and incentive spending from the wealthy with a
punishing estate tax.
~~~
sokoloff
A punishing estate tax probably does more to incent trust formation, life
insurance sales, minority ownership transfer structures, and other such
mechanisms to bypass the estate tax than it does incremental spending.
It's largely unprepared idiots that pay any substantial amount of estate tax.
------
Vinnl
I tend to make a conscious effort to ignore "deals". As far as I know, the one
case in which a deal is actually advantageous as a consumer is when that deal
encourages consumers to buy more of a certain product at the same time, and
the merchant passing part of the scale and predictability savings on to the
consumer. For example, if you buy tooth paste every now and then anyway,
buying it at the same time as many others might make it cheaper to offer that
tooth paste. Or for example having the option between essentially equivalent
meal ingredients, more people cooking the same meal at the same time can allow
for offering those ingredients more cheaply.
In most cases, however, it feels like they only benefit the merchant, by
manipulating the consumer to buy things they don't need, or more expensive
things.
I don't think the cost savings I'm missing out on by not making purchases in
the first category outweigh the extra costs I avoid by also not making
purchases in the second category.
That said, I'd love to hear of more ways of how deals can actually benefit
both consumer and merchant.
~~~
wdutch
there's a tactic called a loss leader where the merchant has a discount and
sells a product at a loss to get people into the store (and hopefully buy
other things that make them a profit). Loss leaders are pretty hard to spot
unless you actually know the normal retail price
~~~
Vinnl
Right - I thought of mentioning it, but then decided it was part of the
category "making me buy more expensive things". Presumably, I wouldn't have
gone into that store otherwise, e.g. because it's more expensive. A similar
trick is selling a certain product (e.g. an ingredient) at a loss, because it
is often bought together with more expensive products (e.g. the rest of the
ingredients of the typical meal).
Of course, you could still benefit from this if you were to visit that store
anyway, or would have bought those products anyway. However, that's still the
case in my "ignore deals" strategy: I don't actively _avoid_ deals, I just try
not to use them as a reason to buy something.

Up until 2009 in Norway, it was illegal to advertise products with unrelated
additions ("tilgift"). Not strictly related, as here it's the same product.
But this made it illegal to do promotions like "buy our car, get a free iPad",
"buy this coke, get a chance to win prices". I think consumers wanted the law
gone, as it looks like we missed out on deals other countries had. But it
makes it harder to compare and tricks our brains.
~~~

So even on an electoral level, consumers get fooled by this and want access to
shady deals. That's going to make it really hard to get fair consumer
protection laws.
(Though maybe it's not surprising that people get fooled in politics.)

I quite enjoy mentally parsing these "offers" in logically equivalent ways.
E.g., "buy one get one free" as "only sold in units of two" or even "each
purchase of one requires compulsory purchase of a second".
As a child I remember considering the difference between "extra free" and
"free" which I used to see on cereal boxes. Sometimes the box claimed "10%
free!" but other sneakier boxes would claim "10% extra free!". The latter
allows the marketer to quote the same nominal figure for a smaller absolute
quantity.
~~~
thaumasiotes

I'm not sure they're trying to be sneaky. The difference is too small for
anyone to care about:
\- 10% free! (purchase price pays for 90% of the cereal)
\- 10% extra free! (purchase price pays for _91_ % of the cereal)
(Also, it's the first option that indicates a higher unit price, not the
second.)
~~~
ocfnash
Actually I think we're in agreement here: I didn't make it clear but the
nominal figure to which I was referring was the magnitude claimed free. By
saying "extra free" they get to write down 10% instead of 9%.
I also agree the difference is small in this case but I'd argue:
* Small wins are still wins.
* The difference is not so small with bigger percentages.
Imagine I decide to tweak my margins for a time and sell 1.5Kg of cereal for
the price I previously sold 1Kg. I could say "33% free" (relative to old
price) or "50% extra free".

We're staying in Nashville overnight on our way somewhere else and enjoyed
walking around on a weekend evening.
We noticed that all of the stores selling cowboy boots (and there are
multiple) have a "buy one get two pairs free" offer. All boots in the store we
checked out seem to be priced at $300+. So, instead of simply offering
discount boots at ~$100, they're leading you to think you're getting
$300-quality boots and $600 of "free" value in the extra pairs. Framed like
that, who could possibly refuse?

I’m very interested in knowing what proportion of retail revenue comes from
these types of dark patterns. Is it even possible to come up with a number? If
so, I’d be willing to help fund the research.
The other day a friend and I were discussing the “take X% off your entire
order” coupons. These seem to be very common, lately. She mentioned that she
recent used one on a cart of $100 in items. She expected a $20 discount. But,
to her surprise, she only received $2 off. Apparently all but one of her items
were ‘restricted’ items.
It seems like many companies find it easier to trick people than to actually
provide great service or products.

"Free shipping" is a funny one. For smaller businesses, it's basically
subsidizing far away customers with nearby customer money.
I offer it not because I want to deceive people, but because we sell more that
way. People like predictable upfront prices without having to tell anyone
their location.
It is, of course, not "free". We just calculate the average shipping cost and
pad the price.
~~~

How much does shipping cost actually vary? I always assumed that first//last
mile handling of a package dominates over the fuel/depreciation cost share of
driving the item farther.

Tangentailly related; i recently needed to buy a new shirt, where in the past,
i had shopped at Express for some work shirts - but havent been in their store
in several years - i went in as they were having a 40% off store wide.
Their shirts, which i used to have dozens of - are now priced at $69 per
shirt... less 40% for this sale.
Ive never paid $69 for one of their shirts in the past. So the 40% off now
reflects what i ised to have paid. So i feel they raised the prices of their
shirts, then hold frequent 40% off sales to lure in traffic of people thinking
they are getting a great sale - only to pay what the full retail of the shirt
used to be.
So Express literally found a way to inflate sales of product through this
tactic.

My local supermarket does this all the time to my great annoyance, I never
thought about the mathematics of why they don't just discount the item. At
least it's better than the kind of deals that abuses people's misundertandings
of mathematics entirely, such as

Here in the Southeast the grocery chain Publix is pretty much the BOGO chain,
as in you buy stuff that is BOGO and take care otherwise. Their prices are
standard fare for a chain grocery and the standard price of the item falls in
line with other chains. Now for the most part any serious saver would BOGO and
then hit up Wal Mart or Aldi to finish out their savings.
One interesting note is that in general you don't have to buy two items as
part of a BOGO, you can buy one at half price. Now this is not true as some
manufacturers, namely Coca Cola, require the purchase to be made as described.
Meaning if its buy two get one you must take all three. They even get silly
with Publix in that there will be buy two get two with Coke products that, you
guessed it, you have to have four of the product to get it at the price of
two.

My local pizza shop offers "Buy one get one free" and "Free delivery".
They also offer a discount if you only want one pizza, and a discount if you
collect instead of having it delivered.

I'd argue this is legitimate, or at least everyone is footing the bill when
you request delivery. But that's no different than everyone footing the bill
for having tables and chairs in the shop.

A discount for getting it yourself is the same as charging for delivery,
though.
And “free” delivery never is, at least in then US where tips are expected.

I think the counter argument to this is non-perishable food and other
groceries.
There is a certain brand of shelf stable non-dairy milk that my family use a
lot of. The usual price is £1.50 a carton. Every few months there is a 3 for
£3.00 offer. Now this is obviously a ploy to get you to buy more than you
needed and also to appeal to new customers.
But I use these offers to stock up on weeks worth of the stuff. If has a shelf
life of over a year so it's a no brainer. I hardly ever pay full price.

mrhappyunhappy
I’m curious to know what’s happening with our supermarket ice cream discounts.
Every Friday all ice cream is 50% off and as you’d expect a lot of people buy
their ice cream on a Friday. The rest of the week it’s full price. Does that
mean they are taking a profit hit on Friday just to move inventory or is the
ice cream marked up higher than their ideal selling price which would be the
standard profit margin they expect on Fridays? Not sure...

They're using it as a loss leader: taking a cut in profit or even a loss to

I've been living in Thailand for a while now and the market is so unregulated
and abused by these sorts of deals.
A big super market near my house runs 2for1 buns every day for the past year.
I've got desensitised to the point where I don't even see the "original price"
anymore. The deal price is just the real and only price. The only real deals
are the "almost expiring" price reductions super markets put out before
throwing out old food.
I wonder if in the grand scale of things this abuse backfires or I'm just a
rare case as a foreigner.

Are regulations supposed to stop that behavior?
There's plenty of grocery stores in NY that continuously run the same
"special" on the same items. I've seen the same hot dogs on sale for the same
price for a year.
~~~
vxNsr
Yes, there are laws about how long a sale can be, if a product is on sale for
a significant amount of time the seller has to make that price the actual
price and cannot advertise it as "on sale." Likely those stores run afoul of
this law but are too small to be prosecuted by the DA/FTC.
------
consp
Fortunately some of this (bloating the price just before a sale to cover the
cost, note: e.g. day before) is illegal where I live. Though it doesn't stop
shops from trying. It does give the customer some extra power. If for instance
the shop fails to sell all stock and dumps it afterwards you can try to claim
the difference as this falls under deceptive practices.
The buy one get two variant is fine as long as there is actual profit to the
customer and no shady 'you still pay the same but it looks different' offers.
~~~
JeanMarcS
Same in France. So when sales time arrives, you can see some items prices
rising up a week before (which is, de facto, legal as long as you do it in
advance)
~~~
karambahh
The rules are slightly more complicated.
You are only allowed to discount items already in stock a month before the
start date[0] That's why the back of the shop is fully loaded by boxes a month
before the sales period starts.
The rules seem silly because it's an open secret, all companies jack up the
price and stock up just before... but you'd be hard pressed to find actual
proof:
"I ordered 50k items to the supplier just 30 days before, I meant to buy only
50, fat finger mistake, so we had to discount them".
"Yes, the reference price is based on the highest price we had on record among
our 500 stores. Yes, I know it was more than twice the median price, fat
finger mistake but hey, who does not make mistakes, 14€99 is too similar to
5€50..."

I suspect a lot of the BOGO deal structure is to exploit the consumer who
intentionally buys only what he can use.
Supermarkets here have gotten big on "buy one get (1, 2, or even 3) free" for
large meat packages (racks of ribs, for example), but keeping the price tag
high-- say $12 per pound. If you fully exploit the offer, you're effectively
paying a bargain $3 per pound, but that requires a lot of fridge space to deal
with four big packs of perishable meat. The consumer who says "I only need one
or two" is being gouged for NOT wanting to throw rancid leftovers away.
A similar related gimmick are the "buy N, save $M deals." If you buy any ten
of a pool of random items, they knock off $10 from the order, but if you only
need 9, or 1, you're paying full price.
There's definitely been a swing from "everyday low prices" to "gimmicks and
games." Everyday low price became "3-day sale" became "only with club card"
became "only if you install our terrible app and explicitly select you want
the promotion ADDED to your club card."
I think the ultimate goal is to get where they can advertise aggressive
discounts, knowing they don't have to give them to anyone but the people most
willing to jump through hoops to get them.
~~~
Spivak
So price discrimination. I don't see any problem with it. People who are the
most price sensitive will jump through hoops and be rewarded for it.
------
whoopdedo
A related and greater rip-off is the discount cards that give you coupons
after a purchase. Consumers become addicted to these "deals" that make it seem
as if they're paying a very small amount for something. When in fact they paid
up-front with the original overpriced purchase. It amounts to an interest-free
loan to the retailer that is paid back to you with those coupons.
~~~
chippy
These cards are the original data tracking example as by using the cards you
give the retailer all your data including demographics of your age and
location etc. From what I recall retailers cannot use your credit card
purchase history for this, you have to use opt in and use the "loyality"
cards.
------
User23
My mother always said "50% off what?" Obviously when the merchant sets the
nominal "retail" price to whatever they want, they can set the discount to
whatever they want too and maintain their profit margin. This is basic algebra
solving for one variable given a desired "discount". It's amazing how
effective it is though.
~~~
simonh
I'm only (vaguely) familiar with the rules in the UK, but they include tests
to ensure the 'was' price was actually a genuine usual selling price. This
includes tests that the 'full' price must have been in place for longer than
the promotional period, that it must have been recent and that significant
sales were made at that price. Buy one get one free also has to mean you get
two equivalent or similar products. Compliance is also monitored and enforced.
I'm not claiming it's perfect, but by and large over here you can have
reasonable confidence these promotions are usually valid.
Conversely my wife is Chinese. Over there 'buy one get one free' usually means
something like buy one dress, get one flimsy, non colour-matching belt free.
~~~
thaumasiotes
I'd be pretty surprised if British law prohibited "buy a dress, get a belt
free" promotions.
~~~
simonh
If you promote it as such, or 'free belt with every dress' then sure. You
can't market it using the phrase 'buy one get one free' though.

Does anyone know of a book (even better a textbook, if possible) detailing

papers), I would greatly appreciate it!

Not a textbook, but Freakonomics is in that ballpark.
It's (un-) surprisingly hard to find academic information about this on Google

Thanks, I'll definitely look into Freakonomics. I agree it's pretty hard to

yitchelle
The book "Predictably Irrational" by behavioral economist Dan Ariely that was
mentioned early on in the article is also a good read. It does not directly
related to pricing strategy but provide good insight to the irrational
decisions that we make, and the BOGO falls into that category.
In a similar vein, I have just finished "Nudge: Improving Decisions About
Health, Wealth, and Happiness" by Thaler and Sustein. This might be worth a
look as well.

Everything even vaguely commercial with the word "free" attached is shady. I'm
in a minority here (I must be, otherwise it would stop being common because it
wouldn't bring in enough marks) but I've grown cynical enough that the word
actually puts me on guard and I go searching for the small print, or it just
puts me off completely if I don't have time for the small print.
It isn't just BOGO offers, anything free is suspect:
* Just pay postage! (postage is nearly as much as the item costs on Amazon/eBay/others with delivery included, and it'll take up to six weeks for your item to arrive)
* Do the Great North Run for free! (... plus a £320 charity pledge)
* First month free! (if you don't cancel 27 days before the free month ends you'll be paying for the service for at least 6 months afterwards)
~~~
chii
> * First month free! (if you don't cancel 27 days before the free month ends

I usually look at the body element and start removing classes there. That

2T1Qka0rEiPr
Minor comment, but I'm pretty sure in Ariely's experiment he dropped _both_
prices by 1 cent (i.e. the Lindt became 14 cents), hence the drop was
identical, but this completely shifted the purchasing decisions.
------
vxNsr
One way to combat this mentally is to have set prices for things in your
head... ie the price you feel each commodity should cost. Don't buy things
that deviate to far from that price.
For example I feel a nice non-iron, fitted, button down shirt shouldn't cost
more than $20, so I only buy when I see them at, or around that price, BOGO or
not (and I need one/two). Same goes for lightning cables, I'm not paying more
than $5/(10ft)cable no matter what material it's wrapped in.
~~~
aembleton
Where do you get the idea that the shirt should cost $20? Is that from the
prices you've seen at retailers? The same ones that run BOGOF promotions.

ksec
I think we need to cite those Study were done in US. And the results are
pretty much US specific. From my experience ( Retail is big, so it might not
be applicable to every category ) Buy one get one free or anything with the
word "Free" works in US, Works in UK, Kind of Works in EU, Doesn't work in
Asia. Or At least most of the SEA, China, Japan, Korea etc. The consumer
mentality is completely different, and in reality the 50% discount price would
work better.
Having it completely "Free" as the spend $12 Beer for Free T-Shirt example
doesn't work in Asia as well. Because you would soon realise these market wont
pay a $12 product to get a "Free" T-Shirt. It only works in Japan and Korea,
and that also depends on the products.
Generally Speaking, Discount is better than Free with Strings attached in Asia
Regions. Pricing Strategy, Consumer Expectation and Product Selection is so
vastly in every Asian Market are part of the many reason why many large
Retailers failed in China.

This article of course totally ignored the scenario where the buyer is aware
of the going rate for a given item, and either stocks up when a sale happens
or waits until the price point they want to pay. The article basically is
suggesting "deals are bad" instead of what it should be saying, which is
"don't fall for bad deals".
~~~
ianai
I agree, in the mane. But I think their point isn’t for people who target a
specific good or service but who instead suddenly enter a market (purchase
something they wouldn’t otherwise purchase) because of a BOGO deal.
Quote “”Retailers are often as guilty as you can get with manipulating price
of an item,” says Cohen. “You’re often charged a price that nobody has ever
paid; anything that’s free is just carved off the regular price.””

A friend once pointed out a deal on Coca Cola in one store where 2 bottles
were actually cheaper than one single bottle. I reckoned the expensive single
bottles were only there to convince you that you were getting a great deal?
Coca Cola is, I think, the classic example of a product where fair cost has
become irrelevant.

This can be generalized to: Every time someone offers you a "deal of a
lifetime" it's a deal that mostly benefits him. If it doesn't screw over a
third person it usually screws you, and if it screws over someone else it
still might screw you.
That's why the smart man will find deals himself. E.g. instead of waiting for
a prospect from a cars dealer that makes him a good offer, he will study what
makes a good second hand car, when the prices of second hand cars are lowest
and then he will go and make an offer to a caring owner of a car to become its
second hand owner.

======
terhechte
Funny, I'm almost done with a fork of a Clojure static web generator and I
really went into the opposite direction. What I wanted was to have one (or
several) html files as templates that I do not need to break up into parts and
that are not plastered with weird template tags. So I'm using Enlive to define
selectors and the generator uses theses selectors to fill the content into the
html structure. That makes it really really easy to edit the html for the blog
without having to go the html -> haml/whatever -> break up -> ... route. I
just relaunched my blog with this generator and it feels so liberating that I
can just work in html without having to do any kind of conversation afterwards
but the content is applied.
I'm currently extending the tests for the generator, and will release it then.
If anyone is interested, drop me a note and I'll notify :)

Is there something like this that operates at a higher level? Unlike the
author, I'm ok with HTML (and I can't stand markdown), except that it's too
low level. I want to break things up by title, author, date, summary, content,
etc. and then generate the HTML by plugging it into a template, so that title,
date, and author become part of the heading at the top of the page and so on.
So something like
<title>...</title> (pretend this isn't already taken) <author>...</author>
<date>...</date> <summary>...</summary> ...
It seems like XSLT is what I want, except that I have to deal with a bunch of
XML nonsense. I could always write my own parser, but I keep hoping someone
already wrote something like this.

delluminatus
What you're talking about can be pretty easily implemented with template
inheritance that uses blocks/sections. Pretty much any templating language can
do this for you (usually static site generators use templating languages, so
by extension, static site generators will do this for you as well). For
instance, jinja2 is a common one for Python that I use for my website.
You can read about jinja2 template inheritance in their docs [1]. The gist of
it is that you can define a layout in HTML, with placeholders for specific
things like the title, author, content, etc. Then your actual post is just a
file that inherits from that layout template and only defines the relevant
blocks. So in "template pseudocode" your page might look like this:
{{ extends site_layout }}
{{ block title }} Title here {{ endblock }}
{{ block author }} delluminatus {{ endblock }}
{{ block content }}
<p>Content!</p>
{{ endblock }}

If you just build the things your users are asking for or voting for, you may
find yourself constantly correcting symptoms rather than attacking root

You can either go the route:
1\. Discrete Math -> Algorithms
or
2\. Discrete Math -> Abstract Algebra
or
3\. Discrete Math -> Real Analysis
Discrete Math will put you in a mathematical state of mind whatever that
means. Discrete Math to Real Analysis (or Abstract Algebra) is like
weightlifting (and general body conditioning) to a sports discipline like
classical wrestling (or soccer).
Real analysis will teach you to be an opportunistic problem solver who rock-n-
rolls (street-fights) their way through problems.
Abstract algebra will turn you into a morosely formal, orderly and pedantic
systematizer and generalizer.
You want to be both a formalistic thinker and a flexible one.

Hi, I'm Nuno, a Result-Oriented Front End Angular Engineer with a strong
technical skill-set, attention to detail, and 18 years of experience. I have a
passion for translating beautiful designs into functional user interfaces and
building great web applications.
I actively seek out new technologies and stay up-to-date on industry trends
and advancements. Continued education has allowed me to stay ahead of the
curve and deliver exceptional work to each employer I’ve worked for.
I've successfully delivered projects like a CSS UI library used by 17,000
employees, a mobile app that has 120,000+ users, and a web app serving over
100 million images. I've done frontend work for Adobe, Webflow, Bayer, among
other companies.
I'm originally from Portugal but I've been working remotely for the last 7
years for companies worldwide. I can be flexible in order to have overlapping
working hours with a distributed team.

SEEKING WORK | Los Angeles | Remote
I'm an expert engineer and data professional interested in consulting and
architecting data pipelines. At Edmunds.com, I worked on a fairly successful
ad-tech product and my team bootstrapped a data pipeline using Spark,
Databricks, and microservices built with Java, Python, and Scala.
These days, I work for a "new media" company you probably heard of and, over
the past year, I re-built an ETL Kubernetes stack, including data loaders and
extractors that handle >10,000 API payload extractions daily.
My area of expertise includes data interoperability with Facebook Marketing,
Facebook Graph, Instagram Graph, Google DFP, Salesforce, etc. That I'm a top-
tier developer goes without saying. I'm interested in flexing my consulting
muscle and can help with best practices, architecture, and hiring.
Would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

The future is as unknown as it ever has been and we as technologists play an
important role in building it.
For the past 5 years or so I've been studying the business side of technology.
Crossing the Chasm, Innovators Dilemma, 4 Steps to the Epiphany, etc. I've
heavily annotated and studied over 100 texts on what, where, when, and why to
build, not just the how that I focused 2 decades on.
What's considered important in society has changed in the last 30 days and
hasn't yet stabilized. The future we were building toward is not the same and
tomorrow is resembling yesterday less and less.
This means currently we are awash in new opportunities that may be hard to
spot because they don't look like the old ones.
So if you're looking for a passionate experienced engineer who is looking to
work towards a better tomorrow, please reach out, I'd like to talk to you.

There is no technology I am not willing to get my hands dirty with. As long as
the problem is interesting (or important), I am up for solving it.

Work: [https://jonpurdy.com/work](https://jonpurdy.com/work)
Email: [email protected] (will respond from my real one)
I recently moved to SF with my wife (sponsorship NOT required). I'm primarily
a Technical Project Manager looking to help teams build software more
efficiently. I'm looking to move into a Technical Program Manager or Technical
Product Manager role.
I have worn many hats having worked for startups and small companies. I
started off building support workflows, tooling, and documentation for an
emerging telecom product. I moved into DevOps and infrastructure after that.
And in the past couple of years earned my Scrum Master certificate and took on
Project and Product Management roles. Have a look at jonpurdy.com/work to see
some of the projects I've built or worked on.
Aside from my technical skills, I have a deep understanding of the product
development pipeline and SDLC, balancing stakeholder requests with what is
technically feasible, and gathering user feedback to improve products over
time. Thanks to my education background, I can bridge technical and non-
technical teams, help team members improve and achieve their career goals, and
communicate succinctly and unambiguously.
Ideally, I'm looking for a SF Bay Area-based startup or growing company that
has built (or is close to completing) an MVP and is looking to scale the
development team's size and efficiency, technical infrastructure, product
documentation, and product support workflows. But I'm open to pretty much any
company, large or small.
Thanks and please email me if you have any questions or just want to chat.

Hi I’m Mark, I’m an Applied ML Scientist and Product Designer. I'm the founder
of yuri.ai where my goal is to make it really easy for game developers to
balance their games using Reinforcement Learning. I’m looking for a job
because the Lebanese banking system is collapsing and I’ll soon need income to
support my parents.
How I can help you:
I can write top notch documentation and can explain anything to anyone: My
book robotoverlordmanual.com is a visual and accessible robotics, ML and math
textbook with over 28000 monthly viewers. I’m very comfortable writing and
speaking.
I can manage your most complex projects: I was the BI lead when Microsoft was
selling its display ads business to AOL, I made sure Outlook AI efforts were
compliant. I’ve worked on projects with 100+ stakeholders and have
bootstrapped projects where I was the first engineer to 10 engineers.
I can turn your research into a product: I’ve done this with Yuri, I’ve done
this at Microsoft when I was working on a next gen email ranker and a part of
speech tagger and I’ve done this at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory when I
was setting up their computer security anomaly detection pipeline from scratch
I can setup your entire BI infrastructure and measure what matters: I’ve done
this for more than 10 teams at Microsoft. I will help you find and measure the
metrics that are most indicative of your product success.
I will also get along with your dev team: I have extensive science and
development experience and can tell the difference between realistic work and
sci-fi. I have extensive experience with tooling and research in BI, ML, RL
and game dev.
Please ask me questions!

Hi, unfortunately my startup was recently impacted by the new economic climate
induced by Covid19, and I was recently included in a round of layoffs. I have
full stack development experience through most of my 8+ years of development,
mostly in Java using Spring boot and either Angular or ReactJS. My latest work
for about a year was applied ML using Kubeflow and DVC to transfer learn
Tensorflow 1.15 research models for use cases like object detection, pose
estimation, and instance segmentation. I would love to continue my pursuit in
applied ML but am also interested in software roles that are back end or full
stack using Java + Spring boot or Python.

Business process automation is a particular aspect of software that I have

spent a fair bit of time in fin-tech... To name a few, video-game item market

I'm an American citizen based in New Zealand, looking for a remote engineering
role.
I'm a full stack engineer / generalist that has 15+ years industry experience.
I have deep experience with Node.js and .NET, but I'm passionate about solving
problems with any technology and would jump at the opportunity to work with a
new stack. I can wear many hats - engineer, leader, mentor, agile coach. I'm
comfortable driving a roadmap and working to deadlines. I have more than 7
years experience working remotely. I've worked for early stage startups
through to large fortune 500 companies.
Living in New Zealand, I'm effectively only 3-5 hours away from the west coast
of the USA. Plus, due to the exchange rate and market differences, I can offer
significant savings on salary.

Recently graduated from the Stevens Institute of Technology in NJ, right next
to NYC - CS bachelor's degree with a minor in philosophy. Worked with Node.js,
Vue.js, and Postgres in the web ecosystem, plus a bit of PHP and React; I use
Python for everyday scripting and a heavier language (C++ or Java) for larger
tasks. I'm currently working with a professor on writing a mobile (responsive)
version of an existing web app and fixing legacy PHP code.
Always excited to try new languages, frameworks, methodologies - you name it.
I love to learn new things and branch out.
Serious recruiters also welcomed.

looking.
I am a citizen of the US.

Email: On my Github page
12 years in the industry; Mostly in startups and R&D departments. Spent the
last 2 working on my own projects / research following an acquisition. In that
time, I authored the Serpent.AI framework (streamed it on Twitch), released a
handful of Python packages and worked on a few curios (e.g. custom style
transfer implementations, auto-painting application with NumPy and OpenCL).
I was planning to return to the working world in the later half of 2020 but
with the COVID 19 situation, I figure it's wise to start considering it now.
I'm a pretty collected, friendly person; Competent and professional. I prefer
working in smaller teams / companies (more hats to wear, closer to product)
with insightful and good-natured colleagues. I'm alright with freelance too if
you don't have payroll in Canada.

Résumé: https://dotancohen.com/DotanCohen-English.pdf
Email: hackernews splat dotancohen spot com
Now is actually a terrific time to hire me due to the Coronavirus lockdown.
I am an experienced software developer who works well in teams and on my own.
I am often praised for my ability to quickly come up to speed with new
technologies, and often find myself as the fix-it guy for people that I work
with.I love to break routine and work my way through a difficult problem.
Others often rely on me to debug their must frustrating bugs, which I enjoy. I
have experience building CRM, CMS, and other business application software
both from scratch and in popular frameworks. I follow industry best practices
and ensure that the systems I write are secure and maintainable. I have
planned and developed new systems, maintained legacy systems, and led teams
which have done so. Software development is not only my profession, but also
has been my hobby since childhood. I enjoy work and always arrive with a happy
attitude.

in/capable of web, native mobile, and interactive/immersive display/experience
development. However, I am always looking for new/different ways to apply my

Apps using front-end and back-end technologies.
Have developed relatively popular open-source software in the past: see Github

Specialized in Web development, with additional experience in that I founded a
popular niche app templates site called
[https://myapptemplates.com](https://myapptemplates.com), which I was
fortunate enough to grow using SEO and then, after a year, subsequently sell.
Through this, I solidified my SEO/marketing-related skills, as well as my
ability to create and manage complex projects within the context of the
marketplace that I was operating in.
This, along with a solid grounding as a developer, allows me to provide a
unique perspective, and ultimately, a high-quality result to any individual or

I have a mathematics degree from Waterloo, where I was employed through their

working on the 3D viewport. I then moved into augmented virtual reality (as we
called it), researching developing mapping systems for a company which sold to
Facebook, Sulon technologies. After that I worked for Teledyne Optech, the
leading Lidar company, developing their mapping suite software. At the present
I am working on building a startup developing an analytics suite software
using NLP for M&A law firms. Ideally I would find some part-time remote work
(30 hours is still okay) so I can continue with my business, but I am willing
to cut my losses given the right opportunity. Thanks!

I'm a full-stack Ruby engineer with 8 years of startup and e-commerce
experience.
Most recently I was part of a remote team for Sticker Mule — the Internet's
fastest growing printing company. My role was to help expand to 27 new markets
by designing and building payment, invoicing and tax related features. I
implemented 6 external API integrations to solve business problems and
increase scalability by breaking down a monolith e-commerce application into
microservices.
I worked in two app development companies where I built multiple web apps and
MVPs for US startups.
I lead a 5-people team, mentored and delivered constructive feedback. I worked
closely with product managers by taking ownership of the development
lifecycle, gathering requirements and making architecture decisions. As a
Scrum Master I built and improved products and processes iteratively.
I’ve been working remotely for almost 5 years. I’m most productive at my
dedicated office room with a stable internet connection, two monitors and a
stand up desk. Collaboration in this setup is essential. That’s why I
communicate progress and potential issues clearly, making best use of regular
video meetings and asynchronous communication channels.
I constantly perfect my skills by attending Ruby/Javascript conferences,
Startup Weekends and local meetups. I learn new technologies and tools by
reading books and watching online courses.
In my spare time I automate my home with programmable smart devices.

ABOUT:
I've most recently worked in a data-analytics backend-stack: from ETL to
database design to web-api to devops. One of my major projects is an analytics
engine for web applications
([https://github.com/hwchen/tesseract](https://github.com/hwchen/tesseract))
using Rust and Clickhouse.
However, I'm naturally curious and happy to work in any domain which requires
high performance and maintainable code. I've worked with a distributed worker
system, debugged async database drivers, and implemented text layout
primitives.

That foot caught in your door could be that of a digital security enthusiast
(i.e., mine)!
A night off is often spent at the workstation hopefully long enough to solve a
CTF reversing challenge or boning up on my cryptography, be it in coding
practice or theoretical studies. Proudly, I have completed the Cryptopals'
original six and aim to take it all the way!
I am looking to step up from the sandboxes and assist with fortification
efforts for live infrastructure as a consultant. And, it is my hope that such
industry exposure, sprinkled with your expert guidance, will accelerate my
pursuits in further learning.

I enjoy learning new technologies and working on inspiring projects. In
addition, I prefer to work throughout the full stack as my background has
required full understanding from UI through to the full backend
infrastructure.
The majority of my experience has been in the startup space, and I'd prefer to
move back into that type of environment over working for another medium/large
corporation.
I'm also very passionate about security and am studying to pursue the OSCP
later this year, so any roles in secure development or appsec will catch my
eye over full stack roles, though I'm open to most opportunities.

I have been working remotely most of my work history, mostly for startups and
related to web based projects. 6/10 projects I have been a solo-developer,
building from ground doing sysadmin to backend and frontend work, most recent
work have been related to build ERP/CRM like apps within large teams.
You can get an idea of my coding skills, by looking at my Github profile
[https://github.com/mariocesar](https://github.com/mariocesar), I often post
code snippets in
[https://gist.github.com/mariocesar](https://gist.github.com/mariocesar)
# What is my stronger skill?
Django and python based projects. I have been working with Django so many
years that I know how to manage myself quickly to start and complete a project
quickly.
Even I have been working with React.js since their early days and have created
big production ready projects for it, VUE.js is my to-go tool at the moment.
# What are the most recent skills that I'm excited right now?
aiohttp. I have been working doing "real-time" apps with node.js and switching
to aiohttp was a production high jump getting back to python to build these
apps with aiohttp. I also have enjoyed learning Vue to make large
applications, I still enjoy React however, the internals of Vue really clicks
with me.
# Somethings that made me happy recently?
My latest Recommendation in Linkedin.

WordPress site is one example. Also helped a friend who is bootstrapping a
business to optimise a few slow Ruby on Rails SQL queries.
I love to take ownership of business problems. I work much better when I know

Hello all.. I am a jack-of-all-trades / IT generalist who would like to
transition into an entry / mid-level Java or Kotlin development position, or
perhaps DevOps. I don't need a ton of pay, but some patience for a few months
to learn more best practices and your companies way of doing things. Looking
to primarily deepen my Java / Kotlin skills in the next year or two. Most of
my experience thus far has been for very small shops where I had to wear a lot
of hats and didn't primarily focus on software dev, but did more project
management and web development.

Ask HN: What if a technological advance makes all existing cryptocoins obsolete? - ler0ix
======
cjbprime
You can't just say "What if" and then describe something plausible that has
mostly predictable consequences, as if the question's profound just for being
asked. This will probably happen! What specifically do you want to know about
the consequences?
No-one's satisfied with the protocol of any cryptocurrency right now.
Transaction rates are very low, proof of work algorithms are ridiculous, the
decentralized protocols are still incurring emergent centralization.
So there'll be new protocols, and the price of coins running on the old
protocols will presumably decrease eventually.
However, something like Bitcoin could be adapted on the fly to gain newer
protocols, which has already been happening somewhat. You just have to
persuade the majority of miners to adopt the change. In that case, the coin
could retain value rather than become obsolete.

Ask PG: Is HN Expired Link Eventual Fix Planned? - baldajan
I believe the expired link issue came from using a new lisp feature, but I'm curious if there is any plans to fix it?<p>It's a little annoying since I constantly pickup tabs that are a day old, and have to start from the beginning. Hopefully I'm not the only one on HN with that issue.
======
pg
It's not a single thing. There are multiple places that use dynamically-
generated links. They make the source very simple. I've gradually replaced
them in the most common situations. Replacing more is not in my top 10
priorities for things to fix. The reason is that it's not really what users
want. What people come here for is good stories and comments. I doubt we have
ever lost a single user over expired links. Whereas stupid or uncivil comment
threads have probably cost us lots of users, and indeed, some of the ones I'd
least like to lose. So that's the sort of issue I spend time thinking about.
Incidentally, for those of you working on startups, this is a good example of
why making something people want is not a simple matter of making what they
say they want.
~~~
credo
_> >The reason is that it's not really what users want. What people come here
for is good stories and comments. I doubt we have ever lost a single user over
expired links._
Yes, you probably haven't lost any users over expired links
However, I think you have inconvenienced a lot of users through the expired
links. Sometimes, I think it is good to spend a little bit of effort on
helping a _large_ number of users.
I'm assuming among readers (who attempt to go past page-1), an overwhelming
majority has hit this problem multiple times (and lost time because of this
problem)
~~~
SiVal
Amen. What a nuisance. You can keep clicking the next page button to see what
other stories there are until you actually read one, after which the next page
button will fail, and you'll have to start over again. What's the point of
even having more than about three pages? The only way to reach those pages is
to keep clicking next while carefully avoiding the temptation to read anything
along the way, lest you get sent back to Level 1.
I'm not buying the argument that if HN has good stories and comments people
will keep coming back and if they come back, it means they _want_ a next page
button that fails. A doesn't imply B.
If frequent expiration is to remain a _feature_ , would it be possible to have
a preference setting allowing us to put the first four pages or so on our
front page? Then we could read whatever looks most interesting among the first
120 items instead of the first 30 before we get that expired next button we
supposedly don't mind.
~~~
nazka
To avoid that I use this website: [http://hckrnews.com/](http://hckrnews.com/)
Maybe you should take a look. Just simple and useful.
And to share everything I also use a theme for HN. It makes the design a
little more as a flat design and with bigger letters which is especially what
I wanted. [https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/hn-
special](https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/hn-special)
~~~
wanda
There is also [http://hackerbra.in](http://hackerbra.in)
but I always use vanilla HN because I'm fond of it and the UI is pretty much
the best for me.
That said, it would be very cool if users could implement their own custom CSS
natively like you can on [http://yayhooray.net](http://yayhooray.net)
I personally detest browser extensions and I don't like how they slap custom
CSS over the top of sites like make-up. Even those who aren't up for fiddling
with style sheets could share in what others make.
~~~
nazka
Thank you to share. For extensions, I do like the good old design of HN but I
really prefer to have bigger letters. That's mainly why I use the other one.
~~~
SiVal
Thanks for your suggestion, too, nazka.

They are not going to make improvements to Hacker News. They have proven that.
They don't have to fix it or make any improvements. They can run a very poorly
performing site with no features and a horrible appearance, because they are
entrenched, and they literally own quite a large portion of their userbase.
Unfortunately no matter how many people invent software that does the same
thing as Hacker News but works much better and offer it up for free, nothing
will be done.
The owner of the site has too much invested in its technology stack (Lisp) and
its particular implementation and appearance. The improvements necessary
probably require going back on some of those fundamentals, which is never
going to happen, because they are too proud.
~~~
asveikau
I upvoted you because I like seeing people who go against the grain here, who
hold combative viewpoints and are willing to be blunt about faults, regardless
of whether or not I agree.
However, after seeing this:

> Unfortunately no matter how many people invent software that does the same

... I have to say, if you are disappointed, have you thought about testing
this theory? This website has not been around forever. It isn't the first of
its kind either. I'm probably not the only one here who came to this site
after having frequented a bunch of others that were essentially the same
thing. So I don't expect it to be the last one, either. If someone has the
interest and the skill set, I say, please do make this. Worst case you waste a
few weekends or something.
~~~
ilaksh
There are a number of Hacker News clones, i.e. people got fed up and even went
ahead and figured out how to mirror the Hacker News content. Far as I know
very few if any gained any popularity, but its not because they weren't
better.

They are continuations stored on the server (not a Lisp-specific feature).
There is a limit on the number of continuations stored, which is why older
ones come up as unknown or expired.
This has been there since Day 1 and will probably never be changed.

Closures, not continuations.
~~~
elwell
Could you give a quick explanation or a link that explains how that is set up?
(closures stored on server)
Just curious.
~~~
wlievens
A closure is a function augmented with implicit references to the context in
which it was created. In case of an upvote link it would hold references to
the post you could upvote. That reference exists not in the URL but in the
closure at the servers side. If you keep these objects in memory indefinitely,
you'll run out of ram.
~~~
elwell
Oh, I was assuming some sort of custom implementation for doing that. If it's
just hanging around in RAM, fair enough; can't see how that has scaled so
well, but hey.
~~~
wlievens
Well, a closure can't be more than a couple hundred bytes, I guess.
If he wants to continue with that technique, I'd hack it like this: use
reflection to crawl the closure, isolate the variables bound to the closure
context, serialize those (the user id's, post id's, etc). Then the closure
code, which will be one of only a few "templates", can be put into a global
dictionary. The serialized state goes into the URL parameters. The closure is
collected, and "reified" from the global dictionary and URL state once the
user performs the action.
I don't know if LISP's reflection can pull this off, but I'm pretty sure it's
no biggie.

This site isn't actively developed, and hasn't been, as far as I know, since

DanBC
It is a useful feature, not a bug.
People need to refresh the thread before they respond to ot, especially if it
is a day old. This ensures they have an uptodate version of the thread and
allows them ro see if anyone has already made their point.
People clicking next to read past the first page is good. Open any comment
pages you want to read in new tabs, and refresh those tabs just before you
comment.
I strongly agree that there are other problems with HN that need fixing.
------
jijojv
From a UI perspective is it too much to ask that instead of showing a FU
expired message, just client side redirect the user back to the homepage -
should be trivial to implement.
On a desktop it doesn't save much due to bookmarks bar but on mobile it saves
a lot of effort on starting over.
------
wglb
_expired link issue came from using a new lisp feature_
I don't think this is the case.
This fix would have a low priority on my list. I would rather have work done
on improving the quality of comments and unfortunate high ranking of
middlebrow comments.
------
dded
One of the worst things about expiring links is that they punish you for
taking the time to _read_ articles and long discussions. If I'm just skimming
through, there's no problem with expiring links.
------
dserban
The issue at hand never annoyed me too much. It can probably be fixed with a
browser extension (I'm using HN Enhancement Suite, maybe contact the author
and start a discussion?)
------
IvyMike
I'd just like it if the "expire links page" said "Expired link, sorry. Here is
a link to a fresh top page"
------
thekevan
The word "fix" assumes it is a problem. You load a page and after a certain
amount of time, the next page is expired.
I am not saying, "it's not a bug, it's a feature!" I'm just saying that's how
it works.

Quick Archive Service For Information Junkies - danielhodgins
http://www.getterdown.com
Just whipped up a quick and dirty prototype for a sexy little service I have been dying to launch for a while now. Any thoughts on the concept and philosophy of having a quick archive that functions as a 'second brain'? Please note this is the first iteration, and therefore, the features are minimal. Just wanted to launch something 'embarassingly early' as Reid Hoffman from LinkedIn so eloquently puts it.
======
danielhodgins
Trust is certainly a big issue with web applications. Before building
GetterDown I used Basecamp for an instant archive. Their functionality didn't
quite suit my needs, but I did trust 37 Signals with my data. Anything that
needs extreme protection (banking account info, passwords, etc) I just keep in
file folders at home.
Our user permissions and access system forbids us from looking at your user
data. As a user I would not want some admin peeking at my personal data, and
we want to ensure that users trust our system 100%.
Thanks for your comment, RiderOfGiraffes.
------
danielhodgins
Any feedback about this service? Your constructive criticism is appreciated.
~~~
RiderOfGiraffes
You've mis-spelled "separate".
I'll try it when I'm at a browser for which it works.
~~~
danielhodgins
Thanks for pointing out the spelling error. Sounds like you had some browser
issues with the site.
~~~
RiderOfGiraffes
I use an old browser (Konqueror 3.0.3 on KDE 3.0.3) on an old OS (SuSE 8.1)
better suited for plain text than fancy web. It's fine on web 1.0.
Actually your site seems mostly to work. It does seem slow. That might just be
my browser taking a long time to work out what to do with what you've sent.
Not sure I'd use the service. Like most people, I guess, I've already got
systems that scratch the itch, and I'm reluctant to put important stuff in
someone else's control. I would think that not-yet-established people would
have fewer reservations.
If I think of more comments, I'll let you know.
EDIT: The reason for putting some items top right and others on the left is
unclear to me. I'm not sure which to look in first when I want to do
something, but I'm not sure what. Probably with practice I'd know whether to
click "here" or "there", but it's a long way to move the mouse between them.
It's a small, picky, subjective design issue.
~~~
danielhodgins
There are lots of issues with the site right now, and that's to be expected. I
am fairly new to programming, so a few hiccups are to be expected. However, I
was able to actually launch something, and that matters. The decision to
actually put something out there way too early has already revealed many
things about the original idea and how it could be better executed. Thank you
for the feedback.

Phreeze - Ruby on Rails for Backbone.js + PHP - johnx123-up
http://phreeze.com/?utm
======
mikegirouard
This is cool, but is it possible to generate apps w/o relying entirely on
Ajax?
Truthfully, this style architecture is the root cause of almost all of our
support tickets. Our percieved load time has gone up quite a bit as data
tables, forms and property lists all need to be re-populated with every page
load...
If users try to trigger an editor prior to event handlers binding fully, at
best nothing happens; at worst unpredictable things (eg: orphaned
records/workflows, things only appearing to have been edited/deleted, etc).
And probably the biggest problem I have with giving this much responsibility
to the front-end is dealing with the mountains of interdependent JavaScript.
All these things are solvable, I know: for example push state helps with the
page load problems, event queuing helps keep ultra-clicky users in check and
having solid conventions helps keep JS organized properly; but I still find
myself always going back to relying on tried-and-true progressively-enhanced
HTML.
On that note, I have to give props as it is a breath of fresh air to see all
these great technologies used in a framework like this.

In addition to client work...
* Created <http://jspkg.com> for hosting javascript packages. A sort of plugins.jquery alternative, except for _all_ JS projects. This is still a very active work in progress that I've been working on for about 7 months now.
* Created the jquery dynatable plugin as a semantic HTML5 replacement for jquery datatables (<http://jspkg.com/packages/dynatable>).
* Rewrote basically the entirety of the rails/jquery-ujs adapter (kind of a creation, right?) that's now included in Rails (<https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs> and <https://rubygems.org/gems/jquery-rails>).
* Rewrote the entire remotipart gem for ajax file uploads in rails (<https://rubygems.org/gems/remotipart>) (again, I'm assuming the rewrite counts, since it essentially became an entirely new project that happened to have the same goals as the original).
I also contributed to a lot of other open-source projects like the ruby
carrierwave gem, citizenry, ruby sunspot (solr gem), ruby-git gem, and some
others.
I consider these contributions to be pretty much on-par with things created,
because whenever I want to create something, my first step is seeing if there
may be some existing project that even comes close, to which I could
contribute instead of starting something new for people to keep up with. So
really the only difference between creating and contributing is whether or not
I can find something of similar quality and purpose that already exists.

I created <http://dudmail.com> \- a disposable email site that allows you to
automatically forward emails, and permits attachments.
It's not been as much of a success as I was hoping (currently 1200 registered
users, with quite a large number more of unregistered users), but it was a
project that I started _and_ finished =)
~~~

For 1200 users, many entrepreneurs would cut out and sell their kidneys.
Congratulations on shipping your project! I'd like to check it out, but seems
down for the moment...
EDIT: It's live actually. Looks like a problem on my end.
~~~
davesmylie
yeah, don't get me wrong - I'm (sorta) happy with that, but I don't think
they're 1200 real users.
You don't need to register to use 90% of the sites functionality, so most
people probably never register.
But it's free to register, so of those that do, probably only 10% come back
and use the site regularly. Certainly it only seems to translate to about
100-200 uniques a day.
I'm still getting about 2-10 registrations a day, so hopefully (given a long
enough period of time) that number will go up.
The big problem at the moment though is that I've submitted to all the app
directories that I could find. This made a huge difference in google page rank
for "disposable email" (made it up to page two at one point). Now though, with
no new links I'm slowly sinking (now down to page four).

"If you call your variables a, b, c, then it will be impossible to search for
instances of them using a simple text editor."
This may be the single most important piece of advice in the history of
writing source code.
Then why do I keep running into violations of this. Just yesterday. Again
today. 3 times last week. It's tough enough sifting through your garbage when
I don't know what the variables means, it's 10 times tougher when I can't find
them.
The solution? If you ever murder a programmer who wrote
for x = xx to xxx
the penalty should be an $18 fine and community service.
[Seriously, I would amend this rule to, "No variable name should fully contain
any other variable name or reserved word." If I do a global search for
"vendEmail" I should get every instance of that variable and _nothing else_.
Naming variables is not rocket science. Sometimes it just seems that way.]
~~~
fhars
Your variable "vendEmail" contains the keyword "end" and is forbidden
according to your rules (depending on your language of choice, of course).

edw519
Do what I say, not what I do. (Guilty as charged, bad example.)
~~~
seregine
So when naming a variable, I have to remember all other identifiers in the
project? Seems impractical, especially for large projects.
My guideline is to use descriptive English words, not abbreviated. I take a
minute to find the right word, check the dictionary or Google when necessary.
If the same identifiers are used across the codebase, then they're used to
describe similar feature. A little extra typing saves lots of debugging time.
Not that my code has any bugs, mind you :)
The other guideline is to spend more time choosing names for interfaces than
for implementation variables, but that's just part of the general "interfaces
are more important to get right."

How A Great Product Can Be Bad News: Apple, iPad, and the Closed Mac - BSeward
http://createdigitalmusic.com/2010/01/27/how-a-great-product-can-be-bad-news-apple-ipad-and-the-closed-mac/
======
MrSartorial
That Apple is creating a closed system is of little surprise. Steve Jobs is
all about control. It works in the short term, but I believe it will bite them
in the ass over the long-term.
Making use of a closed-system and trying to be the best in a category assumes
that you have access to the most brilliant minds in that field, and the most
brilliant marketing campaign. What makes Apple great? Well, they can control
every aspect of their production because they own all their own tools and can
keep out the crap. Also, they have slick industrial design. For now they also
have some of the most brilliant minds in the industry, but not all of them.
This is why they will never achieve world domination with their products. I
suppose I could make use of their own advertising to make an example : "I'm a
mac, I'm a PC". You are either an apple person or you're not. Their closed-
system allows little flexibility. They would be doomed to what they used to be
were it not for them opening their file formats to standards.
Why is this not the best approach? Because of human innovation. People hate
being held down, forced into one category, etc. This is what apple is doing,
but because their products are so innovative, consumers will go for it.
Google is much smarter; they know what to hold onto and what to open up for
the masses. Even though they employ many geniuses, they are always on the
search for new innovative ideas. That's why they purchase so many startups, or
so I've been told.
That's why I believe in a race between Google and Apple, Apple WILL lose
eventually.
Closed-systems should actually drive innovation because they must be
circumvented. That's why Apple products are cracked all the time. So I guess
the challenge then is, that if you aren't happy with Apple, build a better
product and market it as well as they do. All things being equal, the open-
system product will win every time. You can't employ all of the brightest
people yourself, all of the time. I think Apple will learn this in due time,
and then things will change.
A sidenote is that a large part of Apple's appeal is simplicity because of
their closed-system. If anyone could create an opem-system as turnkey as
theirs, they'd come ahead by far. I think one of the closest systems to being
fully open and turnkey I've seen so far is Facebook Connect, but I'm starting
to become too long-winded, so I'll leave it at that.
~~~
telemachos
> _People hate being held down, forced into one category, etc._
Here's an alternative take on this (with a story). I recently saw Thomas
Keller (chef and owner of Per Se here in NYC and French Laundry in CA, among
others) talking about a new-ish restaurant of his in CA, Ad Hoc.
Ad Hoc has no menus. They make meals and serve them family style. You take
what you want from the dishes provided. You have choice only within that
range.
He argued that true luxury was the freedom _from_ choice. Now in a political
context, this is Orwellian and terrifying. But in the context of a meal, it
made a lot of sense to me. Let a great chef do his or her magic, and I will
try any damn thing they put in front of me and thank them for the privilege.
For us as hackers, computer use is more like politics. We want the openness to
do what we want, to dig around, to break things and fix them again, to change
things. For most people, however, computer use is more like a meal. Give them
some great toys to play with and they won't mind the limitations at all.
~~~
lambda
But, this isn't about giving the users freedom from choice; with 140,000
options in the App Store, that's a lot of choices.
This is explicitly about locking developers down, and not allowing them to do
things that Apple does not approve of. Want to write a competing web browser?
Sorry, you can't. Want to write an awesome JIT that optimizes itself for their
shiny new chip? No can do.
Imagine if this policy had been in place on their desktop or laptop computers.
Half of the technologies that they themselves use and tout as great would not
exist. LLVM/clang? WebKit? Heck, the Mach and BSD kernels that this is all
built on. None of this would have been created in a closed ecosystem with
restrictive policies, and yet Apple is perfectly happy to take advantage of it
while not letting anyone else play in _their_ sandbox.
The hypocrisy of their policies makes me sick.
~~~
izendejas
Your third paragraph sums up the link very well. Yes, many customers win in
the short-term, but they will lose in the long run. I'm one that thinks web
apps are the future, anyway, so Apple's focus on specialized apps that can't
be ported to other platforms very easily and without having to invest a whole
lot up front is going to bite them hard.
When html5 matures and is more widely adopted, developers will sidestep the
ridiculous shackles of the app store approval process... effortlessly. At that
point, it'll be a competition between the best developed browsers and the most
inexpensive mobile devices that will still deliver a very good experience.
Google, I think, will come out on top then w/ Google Chrome OS.
~~~
krakensden
When html5 matures? Seriously? Have you ever done any web development? Have
you looked at html5? It's an incremental upgrade, nothing that's going to let
you do new interesting things with all the new, interesting hardware we have.
Plus, it will still be very, very slow compared to code running through fewer
layers of indirection.

zacharypinter
This post adequately sums up my concerns.
Here we have a device that doesn't support USB thumbdrives, doesn't support
dropbox (at least system-wide, I assume the dropbox iphone app would work), is
unable to run ruby or any of my other dev scripts/tools, cannot install
firefox or firefox plugins, etc.
I do not want to see computing head this direction.
~~~
coffeemug
My dad, mom, grandma, and grandpa can watch videos, look at photos of their
kids/grandkids, send e-mails to their relatives oversees, and read their
favorite books on it, all without the need for a "computer-savvy guy" who has
to teach them how it works, and fix it when it's broken. In other words, it's
a logical conclusion of the personal computer revolution. I understand you
need to run your Ruby scripts, but this product was designed for the 99% of
the people in this country instead. You're not the target audience.
~~~
lambda
The thing is, without an open platform, the new, innovative ways of working
with this machine will never be invented.
This is about far more than running your own Ruby scripts. It's about the fact
that true innovation cannot exist in such an environment. And the problem is,
you will not see what you're missing; people won't bother developing new
technologies that have no platform they can legally run on.
Would the Web exist if Microsoft had been able to ban Netscape from running on
Windows? What new, groundbreaking technologies are we missing out on because
it's not worth the time and effort to create something new if the platform
vendor can simply forbid you from publishing it?
~~~
mattmanser
This is alarmist nonsense.
The App store and the iPhone have fostered a colossal amount of innovation,
and made a lot of normal non-techy people very, very happy. And a bunch of
techies too.
And in the end I hope it doesn't come down to open source advocates getting
their way so they can install vim, but it being about my Mum being able to use
it without having to phone me saying that it's all gone wrong again and can I
talk through 3 hours of trying to fix the damn thing.
~~~
andreyf
_I hope it doesn't come down to open source advocates getting their way so

Installing vim isn't mutually exclusive from having a usable system.

Some of us might argue that installing Vim is the sine qua non for a (truly)
usable system. (For what it's worth, I just love me some Vim. Overall, I'm on
the "this device is perfect for most people" side of this actual argument.)

mortenjorck
There is only one thing I want Apple to do at this point.
Open up developer ad-hoc provisioning. Keep the App Store closed, heck, make
it even stricter, but give that alternative, ad-hoc channel a chance. You
don't have to publicize it; all you need to do is to change a single number in
a plist somewhere on your activation servers from 100 to unlimited.
Then the hacker community will focus on adding features to your product
instead of on compromising its security.
------
Todd
I know of no other company that can charge $100 for 16GB of flash memory.
Differentiating on real features like 3G is good and expected. Differentiating
on commodity hardware like memory is unfair.
With the ubiquity of SD and micro SD and need for more and more storage due to
the explosion of digital media, they don't even provide a port. Obviously,
they don't provide a port because it would destroy their product line. When
you have the cheapest digital electronics providing these ports and high-end
hardware like the iPod/Phone/Pad not providing it, that says a lot. It says
"we don't care about anything except our product the money in your wallet."
It's ironic that MS gets so much flack from developers in the OSS purist and
Apple fanbois camps about their closed products. They've always been the most
open from the hardware perspective and they've always been great to
developers. Apple is just the opposite.
If we care about an open future in computing, we need to think clearly about
which platforms to develop for.

The revolutionary thing about this tablet is that it's not a Mac. Tablets have

a plethora of Android tablets that will be like a large Droid/Nexus One just

Restrictions only matter when they limit you from doing things you want to do.
For the vast majority of consumers, the closed nature of the iPad isn't a
restriction, it's a convenience.
We need to understand that the average HN reader is not the target market
here. We're generally more technical and are willing to tolerate more
complexity and maintenance in return for a greater level of freedom over our
software and devices. The things we regard as important are not seen the same
way by most people. They just want an appliance that makes the things they do
every day as easy and hassle-free as possible.

I bet someone at Apple is thinking hard about how could they seal the MacPro
case too. It's the only system they sell that you are allowed to open and
upgrade or tinker (beyond something limited like a RAM upgrade).
Apple is no longer called Apple Computers because they will not sell computers
anymore. They will sell closed devices with a closed software ecosystem. They
will also sell the best devices money can buy.
~~~
ericd
What? They have clearly segmented the market, they're not taking a "let's seal
everything" approach.
The Mac Pro is made for power users and developers, it's made very easy to
open and add hardware to.
The iPhone is made for everyone on the planet who can afford it, it is made to
be very easy to use for normal use cases and very hard to screw up to the
point where someone needs someone else to fix it.

Apple has managed to maintain consistency and provide a level of experience
over the years by tightly controlling the platform. This is just another
manifestation of that. Look at the App store, the fact that you have to use
hacks to get OS X running on a PC or that you buy Apple computers with OS X
being pre-loaded as examples of that.
If you don't like the closed platform you can grab a PC, but I think this is
just how Steve Jobs does things -- he likes to have as much control as
possible so that Apple can deliver a certain type and level of experience to
users.
~~~
orangecat
Macs are wide open. Apple creates the default user experience, but you're free
to develop and run any software you want without begging for permission.
Apple's total control over the iPhone/iPod/iPad platform is a change for the
worse.

My position is if I pay good money for hardware it's mine and I will do with

I am reading a lot of concerns that Apple has created a closed system. You are
right, Apple has a closed system. That's what Apple has mostly sold for years.
What I think is exciting is that this device breaks new ground. It's only
version 1.0. Better devices will come out. Hopefully, from companies other
than Apple. There's virtually nothing stopping another company from selling an
open platform, one that runs open software, has open hardware, has WIFI, has
USB and has higher screen resolution than the 1024x768 that my 8 year old
iBook has. And, hopefully someone will deliver a device that uses low power
open cores.
Stop complaining. Start dreaming up something better.
------
metra
I believe Apple's success stems from its portable devices, mainly the iPod and
the iPhone. Both of those devices could take full advantage of Apple's closed
door policy. The iPod and the iPhone are _extremely_ well built because Apple
had complete control over all the parts. All the other phones on the market
just felt like cheaper plastic knockoffs. Furthermore, Apple is somewhat lucky
that the functionality you'd want from these portable devices is very limited
and so Apple didn't miss any of the market by providing such limited
functionality.
However, devices bigger than iPhone - in the netbook/iPad range - need
significantly more functionality. I believe Apple missed the boat with the
iPad, especially if it really is targeting grandpa and grandma. People are
becoming more tech savvy and they will be less and less willing to shell out
money for an inflexible device that only serves a rigid set of predefined
functions.
The iPad, I'm sure, is constructed extremely well. However, taking it to the
bathroom, to bed and around the house in general isn't the same thing as
taking it everywhere you go. Apple's success is in building beautiful durable
portable hardware. The iPad just isn't portable enough or flexible enough for
people to want it.
------
mark_l_watson
I agree with the article. I look more forward to a light weight Chrome
netbook. I don't know if it is the offing or not, but perhaps a Chrome netbook
could forgo a physical keyboard and have a popup virtual keyboard like my
Droid (although that adds the expense of a touchscreen). Bonus points to
hardware manufacturers: sell a Chrome netbook that looks like a iPad, but has
a slide out physical keyboard like my Motorola Droid phone.

Apple has become the prime example of closed computing. It has its benefits:
the iPhone is painfully easy to use, has very few viruses, and works pretty
much all the time (except when AT&T drops, but that's a separate worry).
Google is trying to take the opposite pole: you can do pretty much anything on
an Android phone, but that includes buggy software with bad UI design.
There will always be both positions. Both have benefits to different people.
To a HackerNews audience, the open system will almost always seem better --
HackerNews types enjoy tinkering and will tend to be advanced users. But not
everyone shares the HN love of tinkering.
------
ashleyw
At first I was let down with it being closed system. But after a night to
sleep on it, I'm starting to warm to the idea.
I'll never use the iPad for work, and in the same way I can't bring myself
round to using a Mac Mini as my media centre, I don't want the hassle of a
full OS over a purposely built OS for the task(s) in hand. All I'd want to do
on the iPad is browse the web, read, watch videos, and perhaps play some
games.
Overall as long as this isn't Apples future strategy for the Mac platform
(which would be suicide), I think it's a nice product, which by the looks of
it, will do the job it's made for brilliantly.
------
umut
This could be the big step for the developers' dream of using the actual
target device as the host for developing(end-to-end toolchain and the
debugging host of course). Success of open systems(both HW and SW) comes from
this marginal-looking(huge in fact) idea. So, the hardware is there, but
unfortunately they lack the determination. It is sad to see Apple performing
even worse than MS on this very department.
I personally will insist on "not" buying any Apple product unless they develop
a strategy to innovate(as they did in the past) instead of trying to
monopolize the scene...

I think the biggest obvious point people are missing is that Jobs intends
many, many people to own a MacBook _and_ an iPad. Probably an iPhone, too.
They serve different niches in the ecology of your technological life.
(Oh, and if you've got some other laptop and pick up an iPad just how long do
you think the average user will last before drooling a little more over the
MacBook lineup?)
------
mildweed
If I were Adobe, I'd be furious. Exclusion of Flash from this platform is a
slap in the face, despite Jobs' perspective of how it would break his App
Store model. If it weren't for Adobe focusing their Creative Suite development
on Jobs' platforms, Apple wouldn't have had the design community's support
that it had for so many years. Apple owes Adobe.

If it weren't for Apple, Adobe wouldn't EXIST. Considering what Photoshop was
first developed for and solely for Macs for several years. And the only reason
Adobe even still bothers to develop for Mac is because of the very high
percentage of the design community who are married to their Macs and won't use
anything else. If I recall correctly, something like 40% of Photoshop installs
are on Macs, which considering the general desktop userbases percentages is
fairly dramatic.

No, it would mean that Photoshop would have been developed for PCs, or
possibly for the workstation class machines of that era.

I see the iPad as a communal home machine that floats around the house. It
replaces newspapers, books, magazines, remotes (for music and hopefully TV),
picture frames, and for some video game consoles. Eventually it will control
your oven, door entry system etc. To me it's a "home computer."

i'd like to see one IRL - but i dont see the iPad being especially easy to use
with regards to its size.
on an iPhone you can easily type with your thumbs, grip it firmly and you can
use all sorts of multi-touch gestures.
i cant see that happening with a 10 inch tablet.
you would need to hold it / balance it on one hand and then awkwardly control
it with your other hand. Doesnt seem ergonomic.
maybe one of the accesories they should release is an iArm, so we can hold it
with two arms and confidently use gestures and such with your iArm

Apple just updated without asking and locked my iPhone - OmleteDuFromage
Just minutes ago, my iPhone 5 just updated itself without asking, and it got locked with an "Activation Error: This device is not registered as part of the iPhone developer Program.". I was still using the ios7 beta 3, and it is/was registered. Why and how the hell is apple doing shit like this without any prompt?
======
spicyj
It's always been the case that iOS _betas_ expire and that you need to always
install the latest version.
~~~
autodidakto
And the betas prompt you to update. But after the last beta (which was the 7.0
GM), update checks within Settings and within iTunes said "you're up to date".
Never was there any hint that there was a problem. Furthermore, the cryptic
errors hiding the inability of updating to "stock" firmware, requiring a
recovery mode restore (despite the last beta being the GM) makes it much more
frustrating.
------
slater
Did you read the beta TOS? I'm not an iOS developer, but I'll bet you a dollar
there's some vague language in there that allows this. Not defending Apple
(well, not too much), but I doubt they updated your stuff illegally. Which
also answers your other question - if the device had WiFi or any other sort of
data access, you probably gave it permission to do updates over the air when
accepting the TOS. Or, maybe it was timebombed, as most commercial beta
software is.
~~~
OmleteDuFromage
Even if I overlook the auto-update part, the phone is still locked, and I
don't seem to me able to restore it in iTunes. Hopefully DFU + restore will
work.
------
roflcopta
>> be dev >> does not know that it expires. >> face palm.png >> DFU the phone

acallaghan
This same thing happened to me - I searched Twitter to find a few having the
same problem, but not enough for it to be everyone. It makes sense for it to
be linked to the developer program for iOS 7 betas, as I'm on one too.
------
autodidakto
My iphone 4s was running the iOS7 betas. The last update was the GM beta and
it never asked to update again (apparently 7.0.2 has been out)?
I was listening to a podcast and the audio was still playing when it locked my
screen and demanded activation. Trying to activate, it says "can't connect to
servers". Connected to itunes, it says "this software is out of date...".
Backup, sync, and restore both give "cannot connect to iphone" messages. I'm
currently downloading the 7.0.2 firmware on a 1mbit connection (3 hours to
go!) and hoping a DFU boot and alt+restore will work.
Last time I run my podcasts on a device that can disable itself.
Edit: Twitter complaints here:
[https://twitter.com/search?q=iphone%20activation&src=typd&f=...](https://twitter.com/search?q=iphone%20activation&src=typd&f=realtime)
Judging by the amount, I don't think it's a few devs having this problem.
Edit2: Booting to DFU or Recovery mode seems to let you start the restore
process. Clicking on restore didn't give the same "can't connect to iphone"
error, but oddly said it was going to download 6.1.3 for me. Good sign that
alt+restore will work.
~~~
rstoner
Same problems. Please report back if the update was successful.
~~~
autodidakto
EDIT: People are the bigger disccusion thread
([https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6502756](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6502756))
are saying that it's possible to update without deleting/restore by
downloading the ipsw and alt+click the "check for updates button".
\--- Original: \--- Booting to recovery mode
([http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808](http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)) and
clicking restore will download the 7.0.2 firmware (no need to alt+restore),
wipe the phone, and update to 7.0.2
I was getting offered 6.1.3 and not 7.0.2 because my itunes wasn't updated to
11.1+.
Before booting to recovery mode, copy over your camera roll with image
capture/aperture/iphoto just in case your latest backup (iCloud or iTunes)
isn't up to date.

iOS 7 beta 3 expired August 29. It should not be surprising that continuing to
run a beta version long after it's supposed to stop working will lead to
things breaking.

I upvoted, because I find it funny and the blame is on us, because we don't
complain about mad enough.
Apple just goes along with this, like with many other "technical errors", do
you sincerly believe that it's technical error that they collect data of every
move you do and sync it with itunes, or that they accept nothing but credit
cards, or that they update your phone without asking, or even remove an app
that you bought? I could find references to each of these claims, but it's not
worth it, because you decide.
But don't get me wrong, as much as I was amused by this, I'm that much sorry
for you too on the other side. Because you dear Hackerfriend are getting
treated like shit [1] by Apple so much that even cartoons start joking about
it. The bad thing is that you can't do much about it other than buying into
the other "do not evil" Android phone.

I'm buying if it does. I'm on the bubble right now due to lack of camera and

raganwald
Well everyone is calling this "A computer for their Mom." Newslfash: My mother
is in her late sixties and _she_ uses Skype to talk to friends all around the
world. My co-parent's brother lives in Belgium. My brother lives in Winnipeg.
Guess what my children use to talk to their uncles? Guess what our respective
parents use to talk to their sons?
Skype is software everybody's mother uses. A computer for my Mom has a camera
for Skype.
~~~
electromagnetic
Agreed, my mum uses skype to talk to me (I live in Canada, she's in the UK).
It's not a device for my mum, because even for the applications she uses (my
dad worked in IT since before the 90's, it took until the 2000's to get her on
a computer, and until 2008 to get her on facebook) it's simplistic. For my
father, who did web development and application development (before then he
was working with some of the first computer controlled fuel injectors in
vehicles, so I have no clue what language that would have been programmed in),
it's far too simplistic.
I believe one of my cousins even got my grandmother (in her 90's!) onto the
internet to pay her bills. Telephone banking with a nearly deaf woman who has
no hope in hell of understanding an Indian woman, and no chance the Indian
woman is going to understand a 90 year old Geordie. I doubt it would be hard
to teach her how to turn on skype, meaning the iPad would be below her uses.

Leave it to the English novelist community to shun the one field that is

have come out of the non-SF/fantasy genres? Meanwhile, authors like Liu Cixin
and Peter Watts are churning out some of the most interesting material around.

Oddly, science fiction is one of the ways to escape publishing a book that has
"a novel" on the cover that is on the remainder rack for 99 cents. That is,
most literature faces indifference and sci-fi is an alternative ghetto to the
ghetto of "books nobody cares about".

When Chevrolet Ruled Uzbekistan (2019) - bilifuduo

Maksadbek
I am from this country and what is written there is exactly as it is.
It is very hard or impossible to come to a car store to buy a car and go back
with that car home in one day. You must first make an order and wait for
months(usually 4-6) while your car be ready.
Moreover, if you want to buy a car from foreign manufacturers (Mersedes-Benz,
BMW, Toyota, etc) you have to pay 2X of its original price.
~~~
bfirsh
I visited the country a couple of years ago, and a thing that puzzled me was
why almost all the cars were white. Do you know why this is?
Some said it was because it is better at keeping the cars cool, but this
doesn't explain why surrounding Kazakhstan/Tajikistan/etc had different color
cars.
The best explanation I heard was the president liked white cars, so only
allowed white cars to get made. This seems most plausible to me, and seems
like similar things happened in Turkmenistan:
[https://www.motor1.com/news/226932/turkmenistan-president-

~~~
Maksadbek
You're right, 90% of cars are white coloured. Honestly I have no idea why it
is that. Prabably this worth some research.
But usually when my friends wanted to buy a car, they chose the white color by
the following criteria: it does not heat much like other colors on the sun. If
we take into account that there are not much parking lots and garages with a
roof, white colored car is the best choice.
~~~
xenospn
In Israel, people say it's "easier to sell a white car".

trhway
This is final assembly only, an absolute minimum required by law to qualify
out of heavily tariffed foreign made car category (the countries of former
USSR, except for Baltic ones, like to highly tax foreign import in order to
supposedly protect "domestic manufacturer" \- as result nobody has good car
building industry). There have been several such Daewoo/Chevrolet plants
across the former USSR. Russia for example also builds Ford and BMW that way.
For example back in mid-199x Elabuga (city in Russia) Chevrolet Blazer factory
had extremely sweet conditions on the Chevrolet Blazers to be assembled there
- basically attach the bumpers and some other details - it took 1 hour for 3
workers per car.
~~~
vbezhenar
Russia used to have few car manufacturers and produced almost every car part
rather than importing it. After USSR collapse those cars were not very
competitive, especially with used cars from Japan and Europe, unfortunately,
so those factories either died or optimized (like VAZ which is part of
Renault-Nissan now and is moving to just build western Renault designs rather
than develop and improve their LADA cars). That's quite tragic situation,
plenty of people are losing jobs, country is losing an expertise.
I'm living in Kazakhstan and we have foreign import tax and "localized builds"
(very minimal work is done). But actually we're in economic union with Russia,
so most of new cars are built in Russia and imported without much taxes. So
it's not that bad here. AFAIK Uzbekistan recently joined EAEU, so, I guess,
situation should improve over few years.
~~~
trhway
>Russia used to have few car manufacturers and produced almost every car part
rather than importing it.
yes and no. Significant share (seems most) of major USSR car manufacturers
started as a transfer of technology deal and improvement on its own has been
pretty small and incremental since then. VAZ - Fiat (196x), GAZ - Ford (193x),
AZLK/Moskvich was "refreshed" by the complete factory transfer of the Opel's
one right after the WWII, ZIL - original 1917 and total re-equipment in 193x -
to build Italian and American cars under license
([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZiL#History](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZiL#History)),
UAZ models naturally trace back to the GAZ, and its most known and widely used
-
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ-469](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ-469)
\- hasn't changed much in 50 years. KAMAZ though doesn't look like an outright
transfer and is kind of local success story, yet also not much improvements in
50 years (probably for the same reason of absence of any real competition as
the USSR planned economy basically segmented manufacturers into their own
quasi-monopoly segments) .
~~~

Older Kamaz trucks however, looks precisely like Scania trucks, to the point I
could not believe my own eyes when I saw one.

Link to the Mozy announcement: <http://mozy.com/home/newplans>
For me the new pricing means that they are a no go (although I do appreciate
that my current 2 year subscription will continue on). I'm currently at about
500GB of stuff that I actually want backed up into the cloud (mostly photos
from DSLRs) and several more TB of stuff that be good to backup but I could
live without. With their new pricing scheme, I personally feel like I'd be
better off upgrading my dropbox account and putting more stuff in there +
buying more hard drives (and keeping them in multiple locations) for my
photos. Moving to another cloud backup provider would be an exercise in a lot
of uploading time to get 500GB up over a home connection.

I reached out to Dropbox customer service to see what they'd charge me for
500GB. I'll let you know what I hear.

The only thing Dropbox offered me was their team product: $795 for the year,

For the QR Code Shadowblock in the OP, I wonder how he dealt with supporting

combination that will work.
I have thought about a QR Code Quine, where the QU Code contains an OpenSCAD

tackle that, since the QR Code decoder is non-trivial.

The only part of this that would be difficult is ensuring that there is no
single dark pixel which is surrounded by all white pixels. As the dark pixel
represents material and the white pixel is empty space, you'll need to use
thin supporting structures within the QR margin of error otherwise there
wouldn't be anything to hold the material in place. Do a Google Image search
for "letter stencil" for what I mean by thin supporting structures.
That small caveat aside, it's super easy to construct: start with a solid
block of material, take QR code 1, and from one face carve out the white
pixels all the way through, keeping any thin connector pieces as required.
Rotate to another face, do the same for QR code 2, rotate again, and do the
last face for QR code 3. The remaining structure is what you 3D print.
~~~
ctdonath
Did you even go to the link? First picture on the page obviously shows narrow
diagonal connector pieces as required to support weak or unsupported
components.
~~~
biot
You must have misread my comment. I stated that the connecting pieces are the
only hard part in generating such a cube, not that connecting pieces weren't
used in the cube shown.
The next time you feel someone is in error, consider presenting your argument
in a nicer tone. The use of "did you even" and "obviously" makes you seem like
a dick.

jgrahamc
This reminds me of a thing I keep not having the time to design and 3D print,
so I'm going to say it here so someone else can make it for me.
Platonic solid Matryoshka "dolls".
Essentially, I would like to have a sphere (admittedly not a Platonic solid)
which splits in half to reveal an icosahedron which splits in half to reveal a
dodecahedron and so on through octahedron, cube and tetrahedron. Making them
fit nicely one inside the other.
------
Sukotto
Note that QR codes cannot be read in mirror image, so only
3 of the 6 possible cube orientations cast a readable
shadow.
Well, now I can't stop thinking about QR code rotations. How big is the subset
of QR codes that are valid in more than one orientation? (some combination of
rotated, flipped, or mirrored). Treating the marks for position/alignment/etc
as a separate layer and flip/rotate/mirror the rest of the code.
What about the different sizes of code? Can it only be done with, say Version
4 and not Version 3 codes?
~~~
networked
>How big is the subset of QR codes that are valid in more than one
orientation?
Given the placement of the position and alignment markers in a valid QR code
it looks like the only symmetry it can have is reflection (mirror-image)
symmetry about its main diagonal (the line from the top-left to the bottom-
right) [1]. If you take any given QR code and replace the part of it that is
below the main diagonal with a mirror image of the part above it then in the
worst case you will lose 50% of the information contained in the code
(actually less since the pixels on the diagonal stay there no matter what).
Now, the content of a QR code generated with the heaviest error correction
settings can be recovered even if up 30% of its data is lost [2]. If you
generate a QR code where the part above the main diagonal is similar enough to
the one below it (meaning at least 50% - 30% = 20% of symmetrically located
pixels are the same color) then such a QR code should survive being made fully
symmetrical.
The above is a simplification, though, since, generally speaking, error
correction in QR codes operates on blocks and not whole codes. In practice it
also may or may not be possible to generate a sufficiently symmetrical code in
the first place, let alone one with the specific content you want.
[1] See <http://imgur.com/YMNIsgc>. The red line show the diagonal, the green
arrows point out pairs of symmetrical pixels.

Can someone help explain how exactly this works? It casts a shadow that is a
valid QR code? How does it cast a shadow? On what does it cast a shadow?
It looks awesome and someone clearly worked incredibly hard on it. I just want
to understand it better.
~~~
GuiA
It's meant to be 3D printed.
One you have that 3D printed cuboid in your possession, you point a
flashlight towards one face, have the opposite face face a white surface, and
scan the resulting shadow with a smartphone– and boom! It's quite insane.
~~~
samstave
The questions is, can any QR code be made to work or are you pretty limited in
the info represented by the QR code?
I don't understand how QR codes work well enough to know the answer.
~~~
biot
You can do this for any three sets of 1-bit images. There's nothing special
except for ensuring that you have thin connecting pieces so that any "island"
where material would otherwise be surrounded by empty space remains connected
to other pieces.

indrax
It looks like this is currently built for an infinitely distant light source.
The sun might work, but you'd need mirrors to get the 3-shadow effect.
Fortunately, it should be relatively easy to tweak the shape for light sources
at various distances. (though the easy way won't yield a cube.)
~~~
ctdonath
Text at link: _This is a complex image. To get a readable shadow your light
source will need to be pretty far away to get a flat pass through. Perhaps
someday I'll do a version with transformed geometry, matching specific close-
up point sources._

Note that QR codes cannot be read in mirror image
It should be simple to make a QR reader that also reads the image flipped

though.

Ask HN: How much do programming instructors make? - instructorq
Hi all-
Regular HN user here, made a throwaway account just in case my current or future employers ever google me. I'm applying for a part-time programming instructor position (at a place like General Assembly, App Academy, etc) and I was wondering how much these positions generally make, and whether I should attempt to negotiate salary like I would with a development job. I've googled around a bit, and I can't find any information on Glassdoor or elsewhere. Do any of you have experience w/ these kind of jobs?
Thanks!
======
rdouble
I worked with a well known group who paid their instructors $2500 to $4000 per
week long class. The classes cost the students $3500 to $4000. The salary
variance was due to seniority and whether or not the instructor was "famous"
in his niche. Clearly, if you can run the class yourself you are better off
than working with a group.
------
argonaut
A lot. If the program has been around for some time, competitive with
engineering salaries in SF (I would estimate 200k+).
Do the math. Number of students per class x classes per year x tuition x
percent of students that get jobs through each program's hiring network x $20k
(recruiting fee) and holy shit you have a cash cow.
Subtract rent, taxes, utilities (internet+electricity), and janitorial
services and you still tons of cash flow (before accounting for salaries).
It's like consulting: very lucrative and cash-flow positive, but very
difficult to scale.
Though I would imagine that part-timers don't make as much.
mjn's estimate is quite off the mark. This is not tutoring.
------
wikwocket
You should always negotiate your salary. It is in the company's interest to
hire you for as low as you will work for; counter this by attempting to get as
much as you can.
If Glassdoor/salary.com/payscale.com don't have any info, you could look for
people in that profession on LinkedIn, and try to ask them for more info. If
you phrase it like you are new to the industry and looking for guidance from a
pro like them, some will probably be willing to "mentor" you, including on
expected salary ranges.

Is it hourly? As an extremely general baseline, TutorSpree found the average

That's not broken down by areas, though, and programming tutors are probably
higher.

database services using ODBC on Windows.
Why you would opt for this vs. a web form, given that both approaches would
require a coder, I really can't imagine.

IBM sues Microsoft’s new chief diversity officer over non-compete agreement - MikusR

>Microsoft said in a statement, “We’re pleased that Lindsey-Rae decided to
join Microsoft, both to continue to grow in her career and so she, her husband
and their three young children could be closer to her parents and extended
family on the West Coast. We have no interest in any of IBM’s confidential
information.”
>In a declaration filed with the court, McIntyre says, “For diversity work to
be effective, it has to be specific and customized to the company and
workforce at issue. My work at Microsoft must be centered on Microsoft’s
corporate culture and its internal goals as an organization, which are
entirely distinct from IBM’s culture and goals. Similarly, inclusion focuses
on what it feels like to belong and is entirely focused on management and
culture. Therefore, while the work that IBM (or any other technology company)
does on these issues may be interesting, it is not practically useful in my
role at Microsoft.”
How exactly are Microsoft and Mrs. McIntyre trying to justify this? Both of
their statements are effectively, "Oh don't worry, we have no interest in IBM
secrets, and aren't competing with our direct competitor, no way no how."
>"IBM surprisingly seeks a draconian temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction to prevent McIntyre from working -- for an entire year,

Hiring Your First Employee - jason_tko

======
popschedule
At what point does one go from the feeling that they have to do everything
themselves to make sure it's right to actually taking the leap of faith to
hiring someone. I feel like I am constantly bottle necking growth, but it gets
scary. What experiences have you guys had with this? What does it feel like to
hire your first employee?
~~~
prawn
"What does it feel like to hire your first employee?"
It's terrifying. Not just because you're changing something you're used to and
giving up control, but because you are becoming somewhat responsible for
someone's livelihood - they are literally banking on you to help them live,
eat, support family, etc. If you run out of work, what's going to pay their
rent?
I started a web dev studio in '98 with a friend. After 6-7 years, he moved to
London, wanting to work there, and I was a sole trader, using a few
freelancers.
Today, I have a full-timer, a 0.7ish (who cranks out stuff fast enough to be
considered a full-timer) and take on paid trainees from time to time. I pay
myself much less than I did when I was a sole trader but it doesn't really
bother me - I get a lot out of providing fun opportunities for two young
employees.
But before my first hire, I ummed and aahed for a long, long time. I made
half-hearted efforts to find someone and usually bailed before committing. In
the end, I gave a young, less-than-qualified but fast-learning, good-hearted
kid a trial and he did well. I can't even remember reading his resumé but we
met at a café to talk things over, got on fine and I can remember that he
could spell "definitely" in his emails. Sounds trivial, but the HN post the
other week about "when in doubt, always hire the better writer" really
resonated with me - when you're letting someone loose contacting the clients
you've nurtured for 5-10 years, you don't want them embarrassing you. You need
to trust them and it's easier if they show care and can spell.
I've never regretted that hiring, nor my second one either. They have jobs for
as long as I can keep the money coming in to pay them. Either my character-
barometer is sound or I got really lucky.
Terrifying to begin with, but rewarding later.
The only problem now is that I'm still the bottleneck. At 3-5 people, we're
big enough to need a production manager, but too small to be able to afford
one. All the worst parts of small business magnify too - even with an
accountant and bookkeeper, there are more boring and annoying parts to deal
with than ever, and I have sacrificed salary to bring employees on board. But
it's tough to jump from sole trader to a ten-person team, so perhaps this is
just a rough intermediary step.
A few keys:
- start them on a trial
- pick someone who fits your working culture (we are all very social in this shared office) and is a good personality fit
- pick the person that can spell "definitely"
- you might need to make sacrifices to take that next step
- don't worry about running out of work to keep them busy, just roll the dice. As my friend is wont to say: No balls, no babies.

------
mbenjaminsmith
A point I would make about 'Vision Over Job Description':
I think it's vital to also be open about the need for a generalist. If all you
do is give someone a title (plus vision), there's going to be enough of a role
associated with that title to create a set of expectations. It's easy to put
someone in a position early on where they think, 'an x doesn't do y, what's
going on?'
Even for a low-level employee, I would consider doing salary plus equity if
they're the first on board. I've seen it work before.
Another point I think is critical is if you expect someone to come on board
and wear all hats, you'd better make sure you're willing to do it as well. If
you're working all hours to make your business grow it will be easier for your
employees to swallow.
If they think they're working more than you they'll leave and that's hard to
recover from, at least in the sort term. Losing a team member hurts everyone's
morale, especially your own.
------
ahoyhere
We found our intern with the intention to hire if we found a good fit. (And he
found us by my comments here on HN!) I described somebody who was interested
in wearing many hats from admin to programmer, with at least some
programming/Ruby experience, and voila!
We lucked out on the first try and we will be employing him as soon as we can
get the paperwork together.
I highly recommend this type of approach for junior devs, do-it-all peeps, and
even admins.
Also, from my hiring days in corporations, my more general recommendations:
* hire on attitude, passion and team fit, not current skill set (unless you are totally crunched)
* ask them what they read on their own time
* figure out why they do what they do (or do what the job description says)
A smart, motivated, passionate, conscientious person with not-quite-enough
experience will quickly bring herself/himself up to speed. On the other hand,
a person with the exact skillset you need may be unbearable.
As for the money, well, we're a 2-person company. We have not just our SaaS
product, but live training courses, etc. Yes, it's kind of scary to employ
somebody, but we figured out that, worst case, we can just do one training
course a month to cover the monthly salary of our new addiction. That's a good
trade.
~~~
grammaton
> hire on attitude, passion and team fit, not current skill set (unless you
> are totally crunched)
I wish everyone in a position to hire thought like this. The overall quality
of developers in the industry would improve sharply, for one. Programmers as a
whole might be a less bitter lot, as well.
Kudos to you sir.
~~~
ardit33
yeah, but attitude alone doesn't build products. If we are talking for just
some simple web app, then that is fine, but if you are doing anything that is
technically challenging, you better have somebody experienced on the first 2-3
employees you hire.
You need both energy/passion, but also somebody that is good and has
experienced a lot, both successes and failures.
One thing I noticed really good engineers with experience tend to be a bit
more pessimistic/opinionated by nature, and also more pragmatic. They can
anticipate problems down the road (where a junior engineer would think
everything is jolly), while avoid over-engineering. Junior programmers are
more likely to either over or under engineer; brush potential problems as
"insignificant", or grossly underestimate what it takes to get something done.
Most of us have been there at some point. But also a junior engineer might
bring your fresh energy to the mix.
But remember, really good engineers, with experience,and with passion and
great attitudes, are hard to find. Mainly b/c they have no problem to find a
job.

Cap'n Proto v0.3: Python support, better tools, other improvements - kentonv
http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/news/2013-09-04-capnproto-0.3-python-tools-features.html
======
srollyson
Hi, Kenton.
First: thanks for your work on Protocol Buffers. I've used it fairly
extensively for RPC communications between C++/Java clients and a Java
service. It made things so much easier to get native objects in each language
using a well-defined protocol.
One thing that bugged me about Protobuf is that it provided a skeletal
mechanism for RPC (e.g. RpcController/RpcChannel) but later deprecated the use
of that mechanism in favor of code-generating plugins. Since Cap'n Proto is
billed as an "RPC system", do you have plans to include a more fleshed-out
version of RPC than was provided in Protocol buffers? Having abstract classes
for event-handling and transport mechanisms is a good idea for extensibility
but it sure would make it easier for your users if there was at least one
default implementation of each.
I imagine that Google has standard implementations of these things internally
but balked at trying to support them for multiple languages as an open source
project.
~~~
kentonv
Yes, in fact, the next release of Cap'n Proto (v0.4) is slated to include RPC
support. There are some hints on what it might look like in the docs already:
[http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/rpc.html](http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/rpc.html)
[http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/language.html#interfaces](http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/language.html#interfaces)
The reason Google never released an RPC system together with protobufs is
because Google's RPC implementation simply had too many dependencies on other
Google infrastructure, and wasn't appropriate for use outside of Google
datacenters. There were a few attempts to untangle the mess and produce
something that could be released, but it never happened.
The public release had support for generating generic stubs, as you mentioned,
but it was later decided that these stubs were actually a poor basis for
implementing an RPC system. In their attempt to be generic, their interface
ended up being rather awkward. We later decided that it made more sense to
support code generator plugins, so that someone implementing an RPC system
could provide a plugin that generates code ideal for that particular system.
The generic interfaces were then deprecated.
Cap'n Proto also supports code generation plugins. But, as I said, we will
soon also have an "official" RPC layer as well -- and it will hopefully be
somewhat plugable itself, so that you can use a different underlying transport
with the same generated interface code. Anyway, this will all become clearer
with the next release, so stay tuned!
~~~
srollyson
I'm not going to lie; it took me a little while to wrap my head around those
stubs before implementing a TCP transport and semaphore triggers to unblock
outstanding RPC function calls. However, it seemed much easier to do that than
write a plugin for protoc to generate code that did roughly the same thing.
I'm currently considering RPC implementations for a personal project I'm
working on. Right now I may end up trying Thrift since it seems to support RPC
out of the box, but my ultimate goal is to have a WebSockets transport which
Thrift doesn't provide. I may end up contributing to Cap'n Proto if it looks
like the effort required to get RPC up and running has at least some parity
with the effort required to extend Thrift for my needs.
It's clear from your planned use of futures and shared memory that your goal
for Cap'n Proto is to make it the go-to library for communication in parallel
computing. I'm definitely eager to see Cap'n Proto succeed in that endeavor.
JSON is great for readability but it really isn't going to cut the cake when
efficiency matters!
~~~
kentonv
I look forward to hearing from you, should you decide to contribute. :) A web
socket transport for Cap'n Proto would make a lot of sense, particularly if
paired with a Javascript implementation, which one or two people have claimed
they might create. I expect it will be easy to hook this in as a transport
without disturbing much of the RPC implementation.
~~~
btilly
One random idea that just hit me if you're thinking about RPC layers anyways.
Make sure that Cap'n Proto plays well with 0MQ. They probably do already, but
a published example or two demonstrating it would not be a bad thing.
~~~
kentonv
You can certainly send Cap'n Proto messages over 0MQ (or nanomsg) pretty
easily -- Cap'n Proto gives you bytes, 0MQ takes bytes. Done deal.
However, supporting Cap'n Proto's planned RPC system on top of 0MQ may not
work so well. The thing is, 0MQ implements specific interaction patterns, such
as request/response, publish/subscribe, etc. Meanwhile, Cap'n Proto RPC is
based on a different, more fundamental object-oriented model that doesn't fit
into any of these patterns. A Cap'n Proto connection does not have a defined
requester or responder -- both sides may hold any number of references to
objects living on the other side, to which they can make requests at any time.
So it fundamentally doesn't fit into the req/rep model, much less things like
pub/sub. On the other hand, you can potentially build a pub/sub system _on top
of_ Cap'n Proto's model (as well as, trivially, a req/rep system).
I discussed this a bit on the mailing list:
[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/capnproto/JYwBWX9eNqw/im5r_E...](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/capnproto/JYwBWX9eNqw/im5r_E-
vlyIJ)
At least, this is my understanding based on what I've managed to read so far
of 0MQ's docs. I intend to investigate further, because it would be great to
reuse existing work where it makes sense, but at the moment it isn't looking
like a good fit. If I've missed something, definitely do let me know.
~~~
btilly
The killer feature that I like for 0MQ is that you can support message passing
asynchronously, even when the other side is not currently up. For instance in
a request/response pattern, one side might go away, get restarted,
reinitialize, and then they carry on as if there wasn't a period in the middle
where there was no connection. This kind of robust handling of network
interruptions is very convenient for many use cases.
However what you describe isn't necessarily going to fit into that. The #1
thing that your description makes me wonder about is whether RPCs are going to
be synchronous or asynchronous. So, for instance, if you hand me a data
structure with a list objects that are references to data that I want to have,
and I decide that I need 10 of them, do I have to pay for the overhead of 10
round trips, or can I say, "I need these 10" and get them all at once?

> _support message passing asynchronously, even when the other side is not
> currently up._
That's probably something that could be implemented in Cap'n Proto as some
sort of a persistent transport layer. But since the connections are stateful,
it does require that when one end goes down, it comes back up with its state
still intact. I have a lot of ideas for how to make this possible it big
systems but it's a long way off.
Of course, in the simple case where you _do_ have a defined client and server
and the server is only exporting one stateless global service object that the
client is using -- which is roughly what 0mq req/rep sockets are for -- then
it should be no problem to support this.
> _whether RPCs are going to be synchronous or asynchronous_
The interface will be asynchronous based on E-style promises (similar to
futures). In fact, say you call an RPC which returns a remote object
reference, and you immediately want to call another method on that reference.
With Cap'n Proto's approach, you will be able to do this whole interaction in
_one_ round trip instead of two. This is called "Promise Pipelining". There's
a bit (just a bit) more detail here:

The claims on this site are pretty impressive, but I have close to zero
knowledge of the history here, so can someone comment on how many grains of
salt this should be taken with? Otherwise, this looks pretty cool. Something
that beats protobufs in overall speed could be really helpful depending on the
application.
~~~
haberman
Just to give a bit of counterpoint, here are some trade-offs that Capn Proto
makes compared with protobufs. (Full disclosure: I work at Google and know
Kenton from his time here; I have my own protobuf library that I've worked on
for several years). I'm sure Kenton will correct me if I get anything wrong.
:)
Capn Proto's key design characteristic is to use the same encoding on-the-wire
as in-memory. Protobufs have a wire format that looks something like:
[field number 3][value for field 3]
[field number 7][value for field 7]
etc.
The fieldnum/value pairs can come in any order, and may define as many or as
few of the declared fields as are present. This serialization format doesn't
work for in-memory usage because for general programming you need O(1) access
to each value, so protobufs have a "parse" step that unpacks this into a C++
class where each field has its own member.
Protobufs are heavily optimized so this parsing is fast, but it's still a very
noticeable cost in high-volume systems. So Capn Proto defines its wire format
such that it _also_ has O(1) access to arbitrary fields. This makes it
suitable as an in-memory format also.
While this avoids a parsing step, it also means that your wire format has to
preserve the empty spaces for fields that aren't present. So to get the
"infinitely faster" advantage, you have to accept this cost. For dense
messages, this can actually be smaller than the comparable protobuf because
you don't have to encode the field numbers. But for very sparse messages, this
can be arbitrarily larger.
As Kenton points out on
[http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/encoding.html](http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/encoding.html)
, lots of zeros compress really well, so even sparse messages can become
really small by compressing them. To do this you lose "infinitely faster", but
according to Kenton this is still faster than protobufs.
In both cases though, the tight coupling between the (uncompressed) wire
format and the in-memory format imposes certain things on your application
with regards to memory management and the mutation patterns the struct will
allow. For example, it appears that the in-memory format was not sufficiently
flexible for Python to wrap it directly, so the Python extension does in fact
have a parse step.
Other cases where you could need a parse/serialize step anyway: if you want to
put the wire data into a specialized container like a map or set (or your own
custom data classes), or if the supported built-in mutation patterns are not
flexible enough for you (for example, the Capn Proto "List" type appears to
have limitations on how and when a list can grow in size).
It's very cool work, but I don't believe it obsoletes Protocol Buffers. I'm
actually interested in making the two interoperate, along with JSON -- these
key/value technologies are so similar in concept and usage that I think it's
unfortunate they don't interoperate better.
~~~
kentonv
Generally a fair analysis. A few comments/corrections:
> _For example, it appears that the in-memory format was not sufficiently
> flexible for Python to wrap it directly, so the Python extension does in
> fact have a parse step._
This is not correct. The Python wrapper directly wraps the C++ interface. You
might be confused by Jason's claim that "The INFINITY TIMES faster part isn't
so true for python", but this was apparently meant as a joke.
It is true, though, that the constraints of arena-style allocation (which
Cap'n Proto necessarily must use to be truly zero-copy) mean that working with
Cap'n Proto types is not quite as convenient as protobufs, although most users
won't notice much of a difference. Lists not being dynamically resizable is
the biggest sore point, though most use cases are better off not relying on
dynamic resizing (it's slow), and the use cases that really do need it can get
around the problem using orphans (build an std::vector<Orphan<T>>, then
compile that into a List<T> when you're done).
OTOH, over the years, many people have requested the ability to use arena
allocation with Protobufs due to the speed benefits, especially with Protobufs
being rather heap-hungry. I always had to tell them "It would require such a
massive redesign that it's not feasible."
And yes, there is the trade-off of padding on the wire. You have to decide
whether your use case is more limited by bandwidth or CPU. With Cap'n Proto
you get to choose between packing (removing the zeros, at the cost of a non-
free encode/decode step) and not packing (infinitely-fast encode/decode,
larger messages). For intra-datacenter traffic you'd probably send raw,
whereas for cross-internet you'd pack. Protobufs essentially always packs
without giving you a choice. And because it generates unique packing code for
every type you define (rather than use a single, tight implementation that
operates on arbitrary input bytes), Protobuf "packing" tends to be slower.
~~~
haberman
Thanks for the correction on the Python point.

Yes totally, I agree that arena allocation is great. I think we both agree on
this point, though we've taken two different paths in attempting to solve it.
Your approach is to say that arena allocation can be made pretty convenient,
and sparse messages can compress really well, so let's design a message format
that is amenable to arena allocation and then implement a system that uses
this format both on-the-wire and in memory.
My approach is to say that we can solve this (and many other related problems)
by decoupling wire formats from in-memory formats, and having the two
interoperate through parsers that implement a common visitor-like interface.
Then a single parser (which has been optimized to hell) can populate any kind
of in-memory format, or stream its output to some other wire format. Of course
this will never beat a no-parser design in speed, but the world will never
have all its data in one single format.
I think of these two approaches as totally complimentary; to me Capn Proto is
simply another key/value serialization format with a particular set of nice
properties, and I want it to be easy to convert between that and other
formats.
Since your approach is much more focused, you have been able to turn out
usable results orders of magnitude faster than I have. I'm spending time
implementing all of the various protobuf features and edge cases that have
accumulated over the years, while simultaneously refining my visitor interface
to be able to accommodate them while remaining performance-competitive with
the existing protobuf implementation (and not getting too complex). As much as
I believe in what I'm doing, I do envy how you have freed yourself from
backward compatibility concerns and turned out useful work so quickly.
~~~
kentonv
It's more like I started from "Let's design a message format that can be
passed through shared memory or mmap()ed with literally zero copies", and then
arena allocation was a natural requirement. :)
> _Since your approach is much more focused, you have been able to turn out
> usable results orders of magnitude faster than I have._
To be fair, the fact that I'm working on it full-time -- and with no review,
approval, or other management constraints of any kind -- helps a lot. :) (Down
side is, no income...)

bsimpson
The Python implementation is a wrapper around a C++ module, so it's probably
not practical to use on AppEngine.
~~~
kentonv
Yep, that is a big trade-off. There's room for someone to write a pure-Python
implementation as well, to fill that niche. You could probably get a lot of
the way using Python's `struct` module. But it would be slower.

Tips for Better Deep Learning Models - lauradhamilton

======
gamegoblin
A note on dropout:
If your layer size is relatively small (not hundreds or thousands of nodes),
dropout is usually detrimental and a more traditional regularization method
such as weight-decay is superior.
For the size networks Hinton et al are playing with nowadays (with thousands
of nodes in a layer), dropout is good, though.
~~~
agibsonccc
I've found a combination of the 2 to be great. Most deep networks (even just
the feed forward variety) tend to generalize better with mini batch samples of
random drop out on multiple epochs. This is true of both images and word
vector representations I've worked with.
~~~
gamegoblin
I've found that with a large enough network, using the two together is good,
but as your network grows smaller and you lose redundancy, dropout starts to
hurt you when compared with using weight-decay alone.
In huge networks in which you have a lot of non-independent feature detectors,
your network can tolerate to have ~50% of them dropped out and then improves
when you use them all at once, but in small networks when you have a mostly
independent features (at least in some layer), using dropout can cause the
feature detectors to trash a fail to properly stabilize.
Consider a 32-16-10 feedforward network with binary stochastic units. If all
10 output bits are independent of each other, and you apply dropout to the
hidden layer, your expected number of nodes in 8, so you lose information
(since the output bits are independent of each other) without any hope of
getting it back.
~~~
agibsonccc
Definitely agreed. The networks I'm typically dealing with are bigger. I would
definitely say the feature space needs to be large enough to get good results.
That being said, most problems now a days (at least for my customers are
bigger numbers of params anyways)

I think you are misinterpreting what he is saying about grid search. The grid
search is just to narrow the field of parameters initially, he doesn't say how
he would proceed after that point.
Just curious, what do you consider the state of the art? A Bayesian
optimization? Wouldn't a grid search to start be like a uniform prior?
The rest of his suggestions looked on point to me, did you see anything else
you would differ with? (i ask sincerely for my own education).
~~~
vundervul
Bayesian optimization > random search > grid search
Grid search is nothing like a uniform prior since you would never get a grid
search-like set of test points in a sample from a uniform prior.
I didn't really want to write a list of criticism for what is presumably a
smart and earnest gentleman and the similarly smart and earnest woman who
summarized the tips from his talk, but here goes:
The H2O architecture looks like a great way to get a marginal benefit from
lots of computers and is not something that actually solves the
parallelization problem well at all.
Using reconstruction error of an autoencoder for anomaly detection is wrong
and dangerous so it is a bad example to use in a talk.
Adadelta isn't necessary and great results can be obtained with much simpler
techniques. It is a perfectly good thing to use, but it isn't a great tip in
my mind. This isn't something I would put on a list of tips.
In general, the list of tips doesn't just doesn't seem very helpful.

Reading this, it comes to mind one of the most unknown episodes of Churchill’s
life is the Bengal famine of 1943 [1], in which he was personally responsible
for the death of at least two million Indian. I guess that painting and
writing wasn’t enough of a past time. Gallipoli wasn’t really something to
write letters home about, you just need to read something mildly objective to
realize the kind of sick person this man was.
The point I’m trying to make is, History is written by winners. In most
contexts, this man would be nothing more than another early 20th century
psychopath. Certainly not a hero, a giant or even a decent human being.
Wouldn’t he had been kicked out of 10 Downing St. Europe would have certainly
suffered another WW2 aftermath, only to feed his personal and sick bloodlust.

aaron-lebo
This is inaccurate. Churchill if anything was underrated by history. The
Gallipoli disaster occurred not because of his plans (which was a quick naval
attack up the straits, which the British were on the verge of doing and the
Turks later admitted would have taken Constantinople had then done so -
probably ending the war much earlier, saving millions in Europe, Russia, and
elsewhere).
This is a man also largely responsible for the tank (also ending the war,
eventually) and probably the main reason Britain did not back down in 1940,
saving much of the world from far far worse in Nazi Germany. We can disagree
about his methods, but he was probably right in _why_ he was so aggressive
after WW2 - he saw the USSR for what it was, as he did many things through his
life.
Not without flaw or mistake, but to describe him as you have is not very
accurate. There's few people who deserve to be considered "great men", but he
was one of them. Even if not, he was not the one sided caricature you have put
forward. I'd suggest a good, in-depth biography.
It's perhaps easier to understand some of him when you read the pleadings of a
boy for his parents to see or respond to him, which they ignored while they
had time for the king and the rest of British high society. This is a man whom
actually fought in battles, didn't shy away from conflict or duty, unlike some
in his social class. He was at times a liberal and at times a conservative
(and took principled stands for both sides), but at the end of the day, was
not a monster and was much better than most. The victors may write history,
but sometimes there is a reason they won.
To offer a counter-example, consider Churchill's dressing down of the man
responsible for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in front of Parliament:

_Both Secretary of State for War Winston Churchill and former Prime Minister
H. H. Asquith however, openly condemned the attack, Churchill referring to it
as "monstrous", while Asquith called it "one of the worst outrages in the
whole of our history".[54] Winston Churchill, in the House of Commons debate
of 8 July 1920, said, "The crowd was unarmed, except with bludgeons. It was
not attacking anybody or anything… When fire had been opened upon it to
disperse it, it tried to run away. Pinned up in a narrow place considerably
smaller than Trafalgar Square, with hardly any exits, and packed together so
that one bullet would drive through three or four bodies, the people ran madly
this way and the other. When the fire was directed upon the centre, they ran
to the sides. The fire was then directed to the sides. Many threw themselves
down on the ground, the fire was then directed down on the ground. This was
continued to 8 to 10 minutes, and it stopped only when the ammunition had
reached the point of exhaustion."[55] After Churchill's speech in the House of
Commons debate, MPs voted 247 to 37 against Dyer and in support of the
Government.[56] Cloake reports that despite the official rebuke, many Britons
"thought him a hero for saving the rule of British law in India."[57]_
Dyer was celebrated by the pubic at large both before and after the attack
(and after this speech). But if Winston was a such an inhumane monster, why
take the side he did? You'll find in many occasions in history, he took
principled and considered if not always correct positions. He certainly wasn't
a Hilter or even a Bush.

No, it _really_ doesn't. It's pulp fiction fantasy.
I read it when it came out and I enjoyed it - as fiction. I like alternative
histories - I've read many. I enjoyed the novel SS-GB 30 years ago far more,
it was far more credible.
From memory... His whole argument is built on the assumption all Hitler wanted
from Poland was the return of Danzig, and that all Germany wanted was peace
and prosperity, but poor harmless Germany was surrounded by oppressive
enemies. The same oppressors who spent 15 years appeasing whilst Germany
occupied Rhineland, Austria and Sudetenland (Czechoslovakia) Well, there are
so many ways to tear down the second point I barely know where to start.
So let's have a go at the first. He claims Hitler wanted Poland as an ally so
clearly only wanted Danzig. So how better to gain an ally than invade them? So
he starts trying to make a case that German diplomatic efforts were entirely
honest and seeking to preserve peace. Further he dismisses the Polish
politicians in short order (as some historians have done). It does rather
raise the question of why then would Germany want an alliance.
Nonetheless they signed a non-aggression pact (note: not an alliance) in the
mid 30s. Germany then sought to be given sovereignty of Danzig the surrounding
region and roads leading to it (includig a half-built autobahn) in, I think 36
or 37. Poland declined, ultimately resulting in the 39 German ultimatum and
invasion. Yup, definitely seeking an ally.
From there he builds on those unlikely assumptions and dives off into fantasy
and antisemitism. Oh, and if Britain had accepted the Nazi's 1940 peace offer
the Holocaust would not have happened at all. Even with all the antisemitism
in Germany throughout the 30s and the propaganda and violence against them?
Further he claims moral equivalence between Hitler and Churchill. Oh dear,
really?
You could make a credible case of an unnecessary war, but it would resemble
this book barely at all. There's a lot of arguments and ways you could
approach that.
You might start with Churchill's (surprising given his history) actions as
Chancellor in the 20s. The disastrous return to the Gold Standard, and by
dramatically reducing defence budgets, _especially_ naval, encouraged further
German rearming and especially naval building. One of the few points I was
able to agree with in the book was his criticism of Churchill's adoption of
the Ten Year Rule. Though he makes it as a minor argument.
You might also point at the harsh terms of Versailles and the failure of the
post-war alliance. It's worth noting Woodrow Wilson's 14 Points War Aims and
instigation of the League of Nations. Not to forget the Americans never
actually got as far as officially joining the League which significantly
weakened the global standing of it. As far as reparations go it was
_Clemenceau_ who wanted harsh terms - mainly as so much of the war took place
on French soil. With the obvious expenses that caused. Lloyd George argued
firmly against excessive reparations. The United States Senate voted down the
agreed 3 party post-war alliance with France and Britain. Churchill wanted an
Anglo-French alliance in the absence of Americans to keep the continental
peace but was unsuccessful. None were willing to occupy alone. Thus
reoccupation of Rhineland, Sudetenland etc were rather easier than they should
have been. The rest is factual history.
Forgive any mistakes. It'll all be on Wikipedia so I'm not going to link.

For many of the reasons outlined in this introduction, I've taken up drawing,
wood engraving, and origami/papercraft. The repetitive parts (carving lines or
folding paper) in particular have an acute soothing psychological effect.
Additionally, my sense is that while engaged in these activities parts of the
mind normally dormant while working with code all day spring to life.
Seems a good antidote to boredom or sadness is painting, drawing, sculpting,
gardening, or something else that's a different language:
>Since change is an essential element in diversion of all kinds, it is
naturally more restful and refreshing to read in a different language from
that in which one's ordinary daily work is done.

lsalvatore
I've sadly come to the conclusion that painting is not a relief from coding
for me. Coding is translating data logic to keyboard strokes, and then
painting is conceptualizing very different abstract shapes into brush strokes.
They are actually so similar in concept that the coding wears out the part of
my brain that would be really helpful for painting. I've spent many days split
between coding and painting and I've yet to come out the experience feeling
extremely worn out at one of the two. Of course I'm talking about
representational painting, not just making random marks. I've had many nights
of making random marks with brush strokes and all I create is a mess. Perhaps
I need to try to completely lose the analytical part of my brain during
painting.

Show HN: Klart – Capture Anything (Pocket for Screenshots) - drikerf

nubela
Why will I need this? (What problem do you solve?))
I use Pocket to read things later, and offline. I use screenshots to convey a
visual point of view, and it's usually ephemeral. I don't keep them.
The only other images I store are camera photos, but I have Google Photos for
that, and I pay $1.99 for 100GB of storage (2/5 of your pricing).
Happy to hear what your thoughts are.
~~~
drikerf
Hi! Thanks for your feedback :)
I also use Pocket for saving things to read later. What I needed was a way to
save visuals of a website. Not just references but images (since they might
change design etc later).
Primarily I made and use it to save designs, copywriting, etc that I like for
inspiration.

I take a lot of screenshots for work doing competitive analysis with Chrome
Extension Screenshot Minus, which are saved to Dropbox.
Now, what problem do I actually have that I have sought out a solution for but
couldn't find? The abilty to automatically search these screenshots'
_content_. eg. I know I took a screen of a certain site and want to find it
quickly, without estimating when it was captured and previewing images around
that date and hope to find it.
Accomplish this by either OCR on the images and index the content to make is
searchable or save the HTML of the page with the image and index that.
I've looked into OneNote, Evernote and although they have some OCR it's meant
for taking pictures of documents and doesn't kill my pain.
Put that in a Chrome extension and service I would gladly pay for that since
it solves a real pain that costs me time and had too much friction.
~~~
tluyben2
Saving the HTML or the stripped content with the image wouldn't be much of a
problem to make right? Why OCR when the screenshot is of a website?
~~~
klous
I sometimes screenshot an entire w full page, sometimes just a portion with a
manual crop with Screenshot Minus extemsion. I only want to index the part I
capture and search the content within.
~~~
tluyben2
Ah that is indeed more complex... Can't you tie some services together that do
that? If you are the only user it can't be expensive. If no-one already did
that? Would actually be interesting to try. There are OCR cloud services ;
just no clue how solid they are ; anyone tried here?

baby
if you have firefox it's pretty easy to take a screenshot of the fullpage by
opening the console and typing something along the lines `screenshot
--fullpage`
if you have OSX and dropbox, you can sync your screenshots automatically to
dropbox as you take them.
my point of view: this is a sweet plugin if it came for free. I have no
incentive to pay for it, unless I'm a very lazy person.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! Gyazo looks like a great app.
With Klart I'm targeting makers/developers/designers that want to capture and
organize inspiration mostly. I'm not trying to be the go-to solution for all
kinds of screenshots but are instead focusing on this group (including
myself). This also means all features are tailored for this group :).
~~~
m12k
Do you have any features planned to differentiate it for that niche? I'm
asking because all the people I know who use Gyazo are precisely
makers/developers/designers. I know that it's sometimes possible to carve out
a business despite competition by having a simpler product focused for a
specific niche and communicating using that demographic's language - I just
wonder if that's realistic here. The Gyazo-users I know seem to use most of
its features - e.g. a designer would both use it to share inspiration with
other designers or capturing and sharing a small gif of a part of an
application to easily showcase a bug to a developer.

Making Klart was pretty much "scratching my own itch". I do think many tools

Open redirects – a vulnerability class no one but attackers cares about - a1a
https://stevetabernacle.github.io/blog/open-redirects-the-vulnerability-class-no-one-but-attackers-cares-about/
======
tptacek
I don't know, I think this case is pretty flimsy. In practice, the value of an
open redirect against modern applications is for "phishing". But speaking as
someone who has dealt with several ATO dramas over the past two years: users
will click on anything. They're not hovering over links to make sure they're
safe.
Open redirects are worth fixing, but they're a lot more common than I think
people expect they are. I think the severity:low the "good" (unconstrained,
straightforward links, persistent, across all browsers) ones get is well
measured.
I see open redirects as sort of the archetype of the "t-shirt vulnerability"
\--- the one the bug bounty sends you swag, instead of cash, for finding.
~~~
shittyadmin
That's quite true, but I think the value in these attacks is that they work
against more technical users than typical phishing attacks - I remember
several years ago someone posted a link on a large technical subreddit which
appeared to be to youtube.com.
It presented a page which claimed to be an age flagged video - at the time
youtube was having many problems with age flagging videos - and sure enough
many people tried to login to it - they looked at the "(youtube.com)" text on
reddit, they looked at their browser when they first clicked the link, but
they never noticed when the URL changed to offsite when they had to login. It
never struck them that a legitimate youtube link could have sent them offsite.
The solution most of those people arrived was simple though: use password
managers which will force some extra suspicion if the login page doesn't
behave as expected.
EDIT: Found the link and discussion,
[https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bpy7h/think_yo...](https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bpy7h/think_youre_immune_to_phishing_attacks_see_if_you/)
By the numbers it looks like about 1/2 the people who made it to the sign in
page made it to the submit page. That's a pretty good result especially given
that it's a technical subreddit and people were primed with "think you're
immune to phishing attacks"...
~~~
chrismorgan
It is interesting to note that YouTube now inserts an interstitial “you are
leaving YouTube” screen on its open redirect spot.
That Reddit shows the domain name _next to the link_ (HN also) is, I think,
the key here—it casually set expectations. Most link situations won’t be like
that, and so I’m broadly with tptacek, that it’s not actually so useful. Plus,
businesses commonly use all sorts of different domains, rather than
subdomains, and something like yourbank-security.com instead of yourbank.com
may not even raise eyebrows—to say nothing of people probably not even
twitching at login.yourbank.com.evil.com anyway.

A decade ago people were using Google redirects to lure people into visiting
shock sites.
Back then, it seemed reasonable to not consider this a real security flaw. Now
that everyone has a Google account, the possibility of credential theft seems
like something worth taking seriously.
At the very least, either host the redirect on a domain that is clearly
distinct from the domain users log into, or ignore the destination parameter
if the referrer is not a trusted source.
Now I'm wondering if this is also a potential vector for DDoS attacks against
a third party. Widely distribute links "to a cute puppy on Instagram" that
redirect to a URL that triggers a resource-intensive search operation on the
victim's server? (Bonus points if the redirect points to a page that loads an
actual cute puppy in one frame, and targets the victim with a 1-pixel frame.)
It sounds like a stretch, but I can't rule the possibility out. Even if it
can't be used to launch a DDoS, I could see it being used for advertising
fraud.
~~~
geofft
> _Now that everyone has a Google account, the possibility of credential theft
> seems like something worth taking seriously._
Not sure I follow - is the idea to redirect from google.com to an attacker's
site that spoofs the Google login page? I think we'll get more mileage out of
solving that with origin-aware authentication mechanisms (password managers,
U2F, WebAuthn, etc.) and perhaps address bars that show the eTLD+1 instead of
/ more prominently than the full URL. Phishing is already a problem even
without open redirects.
> _Widely distribute links "to a cute puppy on Instagram" that redirect to a
> URL that triggers a resource-intensive search operation on the victim's
> server?_
Keep in mind that unrelated web pages can send GET requests to each other by
just using an image tag, so if your website has a resource-intensive search
delivered over GET and no automation to detect suspicious behavior and spikes
in certain types of requests, you're already vulnerable to this via e.g.
someone submitting an interesting blog page to HN that loads youe search page
as a resource. Either make it POST or add some HTTP-level DDoS protection a la
Cloudflare.
Same with advertising fraud - ad clicks should be POSTs. (Open POST redirects
do seem more dangerous but are probably rare.)
~~~
wtracy
Relying on your customers to use password managers to protect themselves is
not very useful in the Eternal September age of the internet. (I do see your
point that a Google redirect is only marginally more likely to be effective
for phishing than a link to something like goegle.com.)
Everything else in your comment is spot on.
------
TomAnthony
The problem is that often Open Redirects can be leveraged in unexpected ways,
beyond the conventional attacks listed.
I have previously been awarded a bug bounty by Google for an issue that
leveraged open redirects on victim sites to hijack their link equity
(PageRank): [http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google-login-
hijack/](http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google-login-hijack/)
It would have allowed a non-trivial financial impact on victim companies.
Secondly, I submitted an issue to Google which leveraged open redirects on
their properties to hijack the login flow (i.e. a user is on an official
Google page, selects a user and is redirected to an attacker for the password
prompt - halfway through the login flow, when a user has likely already
established they are on a real site):
[http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google-login-
hijack/](http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google-login-hijack/)
Sometimes open redirects are unavoidable, but all too often they aren't
necessary and so it is simply lazy to not fix them and point to Google and
others who mark them as WONTFIX as reason not to bother doing so yourself.

Surprised the author doesn't mention oauth - open redirects are the achilles'
heel of oauth flows and allow for full account takeovers. It is very common.
~~~
enjo
Very common in 2019? I haven't run across an OAuth provider in some time that
isn't properly checking redirect_uri against at least a whitelist of domains
(if not the full URL).
Is there another redirect attack I'm not aware of? The other attacks on
redirect generally involve gaining access to some other page on the client you
are attacking and using that as a redirect which the provider will often allow
if it's only validating the domain. That's not really an open redirect,
however...
Am I missing something?

They're also really useful for evading spam filters. I found[1] a bunch of
government domains with open redirects.
Spammers were sending out emails containing links to
`example.gov.uk/redirect?url=dodgy-viagra.ph` - and certain spam filters were
trained to whitelist "trusted" domains.
You also see a lot of open redirect abuse on forums - especially where they're
configured to only show the first few dozen characters of a link.

If you ever get a third party penetration test, this is like, the first thing
they find. To say "no one but attackers cares about," is pretty nonchalant –
we immediately patched up this clearly bad attack vector, despite it not being
extremely likely to manifest as a serious problem to us, because, like, you
should just do that.

OliverJones
I just fixed one myself. It's not that hard to sanitize redirect parameters.
One good way, if it fits your app, is to insist they be internal-only:
"/app/profile" rather than external
"[https://evil.example.com/phish/login"](https://evil.example.com/phish/login")
I believe it's worth fixing these, not only because it gets penetration tests

Depends on where in the system it is. If it's part of a flow involving

Yes, they still do depending on how you redirect (i.e. unsanitized:

they prevent attacks like this unless you explicitly disable those features.

People Over 55 Are Quitting Facebook - ciscoriordan

Demographics are appealing based on two things: the direct revenue that
advertising to them / selling to them can bring, and the indirect value of how
much they serve to propogate the brand.
Older adults are worthwhile because they've got a lot of discretionary income
once the kids are off at college.
Young hip adults are worthwhile because they increase brand cachet.
I hate to be morbid, but with the meltdown in IRA and 401ks since January,
people over 55 might not be worth nearly as much as a demographic as they once
were.
Facebook probably doesn't care too much about this.
At <http://smartflix.com>, we've done demographic surveys, and our best
customers are older adults - speaking in generalities, the women are retired,
or working part time, and have enough money to buy canvas and oil paints, and
the guys are retired or working part time, and have enough time and money to
work on their cars, learn metalworking, or tinker with their guns.
Because our price point is relatively low (our a la carte rentals are ~$10,
and our subscription plans are << $30/month), we haven't seen much of a
decline in revenue from this demographic.

https://gist.github.com/kachayev/b5887f66e2985a21a466
======
juliangamble
_it 's easier to work both with monads and parsers in dynamically typed
language_
I'm asking a genuine question. I'm certain other people have had a different
experience to this. Could you expand on what makes it easier? (And would you
deliberately distinguish between 'easy' and 'simple')
~~~
kachayev
Nice question!
It "easy". Cause it takes less characters in your code: you don't need "type
classes" of any form, you don't care about liftings etc. You can start from
2-3 lines of code and see immediate result.
But it's really not that "simple", cause without constant thinking about type
of each expr it becomes very hard to trace long chains of monad operations
very quickly. Plus types are great for verifying that you didn't break
anything inside your "do" block (which is painful in dynamic env).

"Cause it takes less characters in your code: you don't need "type classes" of
any form, you don't care about liftings etc. You can start from 2-3 lines of
code and see immediate result."
Considering you linked directly to the roughly-equivalent Haskell, which
contains neither of those things, that's a strange statement.
You will still need to care about liftings if you do monad transformers in a
dynamic language, and if you implement your own monadic value in Clojure you
may not literally type in an "instance" but you're still going to have to
implement it.
You may have attained parity with Haskell's ease-of-parsing, but you certainly
haven't shown it to be "easier". That _is_ saying something, though... few
languages can implement a monadic parser without horrid syntax. (Assuming you
actually have... it's a common problem to think one has implemented something
monadic without actually having done so. [1] But that's just a general
comment, I'm not familiar enough with Clojure to have an opinion.)
However...
"Plus types are great for verifying that you didn't break anything inside your
"do" block ( _which is painful in dynamic env_ )."
Emphasis mine. This tends to suggest that it is still not _easier_ in a
dynamic environment. Again, getting to even "almost as easy" is still a big
win, though.
Interestingly, I'd suggest that the biggest problem with monads in a dynamic
language is that when you do screw up, it's going to be harder for the _human_
to understand it, and in the process, it's going to be harder for the human to
come to understand monadic patterns in general. If someone is already very
fluent in monadic patterns from Haskell experience, the craziness that might
come out of a mistyped (in either sense) dynamic expression will probably be
something they can handle in stride, but my guess is that it will be
substantially more difficult to obtain that fluency in a dynamic language. In
my personal experience, the fact that dynamic languages allow for more
sloppiness comes out in code in a very real and profound way.
(And by "personal experience", I mean that while it is beyond the scope of
this text box to elaborate further I've noticed that my own work in API
creation between static and dynamic languages has noticeable differences in
correctness and clarity-of-thought when I'm working in static and dynamic
languages. I encountered another example just this last week of a confusion
I'd made in an API of mine between two different entities that the dynamic
type system had allowed me to conflate into one that a static type system
would never have let me get away with. And I'm not even talking about
Haskell's level of static typing... even conventional manifest typing would
have prevented this mental error.)

Book Review: Designing Distributed Control Systems - michjedi

I've found this book to be quite solid so far:
[http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032175.do](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032175.do)
I'm about a quarter to half of the way through and it's been interesting and
quite thorough even though it's still a "beta" book. The content is a little
high level so some familiarity with distributed systems principles is useful
but the text is very approachable and easy to understand (so far).
I got it after seeing several recommendations in other HN threads so I'm not
the only person that has found it useful.

Comparison of X Window Managers - _of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers
======
derekp7
I really wish the full potential of compositing window managers could have
been fulfilled, instead of the tech behind them being used for mostly eye
candy.
Here are two items that should be doable with compositing. First, when giving
a presentation with an external monitor, I'd like to tag specific windows to
be mirrored (and scaled, if appropriate) on the secondary monitor. That way I
can still be messing with my instant messages or email in private (which you
can't do if you are mirroring your whole screen), yet be able to easily work
with content that the audience is also viewing (by no having to shift my head
from my laptop screen up to the projector all the time). This would be similar
to using online meeting software where you share specific windows.
The second item, that you can sort of do now but not cleanly, is have multiple
mice and keyboards, so that a mouse that selects a given window gives its
associated keyboard input focus to that window. While the other mouse/keyboard
combo is working with a different window. This would be great for pair
programming, especially with a multi-windowed shared buffer editor (like what
Emacs can do).
You can do this now, with some editing in the X config file, but there is no
indication on the screen which window currently is focused to which keyboard
-- this can be accomplished with the WM changing the window border or title
bar color as appropriate.
~~~
microcolonel
This sort of thing is extremely difficult on X, but very doable on Wayland.
I've been thinking about putting broadcast/streaming functionality directly
into a compositor, so that your presentations/scenes could be composited
separately from your actual windows. Think OBS, but the components/layers of
the presentation are Wayland surfaces, and vice-versa, the windows are layers
of the presentation. In this sort of system, the compositing can easily happen
on the GPU, and can be accelerated like any desktop compositing.
~~~
Crinus
> This sort of thing is extremely difficult on X, but very doable on Wayland.
I'd say it is the other way around. With Wayland you'd need buy-in from the
entire stack since in Wayland everything needs to be implemented in the
compositor. With X all you need is a compositor (not necessary even your
window manager, it can be a separate compositor) that ignores the area of one
monitor when compositing and instead renders duplicates of the tagged windows
there. You can keep using everything else you were already using.
~~~
newnewpdro
I'm not clear on how this would happen on wayland as I haven't done any
development on it yet, but with X it would be tricky since the server still
has the window hierarchy state for event routing etc.
If you simply mirrored redirected windows in triplicate all over the place in
the compositor, it wouldn't magically make the window manager and X server
aware of all those areas as being windows to manage and route events at. You'd
just have these ghost windows that can't be directly interacted with as first-
class windows.
~~~
badsectoracula
> You'd just have these ghost windows that can't be directly interacted with
> as first-class windows.
But that is what the GP asked for, not full duplication.
Though if you want duplication it might be possible by creating a window over
the duplicated area that the compositor does not render but still grabs all
input events that are then forwarded to the original windows via XSendEvent.

WindowMaker, then FVWM were my drugs. I used tiling window managers for a
while, when my typical workstation was a laptop, but now that I have a large-
ish screen (27") on a desktop they're pretty bad -- everything is either too
wide to be useful, or too narrow. Ratpoison was definitely my favourite (I
also use Emacs, figures...), but I liked wmii, too. By the time I ran into pwm
I was hooked into Ratpoison :).
LXQT does its job for me these days. It's not the most polished but at least
it doesn't go out of its way to make my desktop look and act like a tablet so
I'm happy with it.
I've been toying with writing a Wayland compositor that does wmii-like tiling,
but can also do proper floating window management, but I have to wait for
things to settle on the Wayland front before writing anything that's useful...
Edit: whoever downvoted you _clearly_ never had a few hours of fun on a Friday

Haven't the Xorg developers expressed interest in deprecating it? Sure,
someone could take up the mantle to continue working on Xorg, but it sounds
similar to staying on Python 2.
~~~
Crinus
Unlike Python 2 not everyone among the Xorg developers want to drop it (e.g.
Keith Packard doesn't seem very interested in Wayland). Also Xorg isn't really
one thing, it is a bunch of different subprojects with the server being the
one that is mostly referred to. Even if everything else stays exactly the
same, the X server will still need to be updated since it also works as
XWayland.
Finally unlike Python 2 vs 3 the difference between Xorg and Wayland is
tremendous, so i can easily see people who will be willing to fork it to
continue development.
~~~
bitwize
> the X server will still need to be updated since it also works as XWayland.
No, it will not. Xwayland will likely be deprecated and removed in the coming
years. The rationale being that nobody uses any Athena or Motif programs
anymore and all of the toolkits that matter to modern desktops will have
Wayland backends already.
~~~
aidenn0
What about proprietary software?
~~~
bitwize
Proprietary devs will be expected to upgrade to, for example, a new version of
Qt that supports Wayland as a back end.
Xwayland may kick around for really old apps but it will not be maintained at
all and you will be expected to forward-port your software to Wayland.
~~~
jml7c5
I think parent is asking about proprietary software that uses X11 which is no
longer maintained or updated.
~~~
bitwize
They can use the last release of Xwayland, whatever and whenever that is.
But more likely, they will need to be run on some ancient OS or distro version
and thus containerized or virtualized anyway.

Currently it's just a Chrome extension. The Chrome windows API is pretty
decent. I think this "window manager" will have plenty of limitations, but I
also think it might just be good enough. In parallel I'm also poking at ash a
little bit, but I doubt I'd be able to take on such a large project and
actually succeed.
This extension is a window manager that mimics Amethyst for OSX:

Are you talking about DFA on straight Python?
In principle this is possible, but given the complex semantics of language
terms, this will be quite complex. Typically DFA is run on intermediate code
in the optimising part of a compiler. Intermediate code is typically RISC-like
idealised machine code. Each specific instruction is very simple and hence
computing its effect on global data flow can easily be worked out.

Fish Feel Pain - anarbadalov
https://www.hakaimagazine.com/features/fish-feel-pain-now-what/
======
pillowkusis
The tricky bit about consciousness is that nobody can find a useful way to
measure or define it. So we end up chasing our tails talking about if fish
feel “pain”, that is, they suffer, and yet have no tools or criteria that
would help us know.
Let’s imagine that, actually, deer don’t have any form of consciousness and
cannot suffer. Imagine a deer critically injured in a hunt — nose flaring,
eyes open wide, struggling to stand up, screaming maybe. This feels like a
reasonable way for an animal to respond, backed by evolutionary reasons, even
if its a mindless automaton.
Now imagine we magically imbue that deer with a consciousness in this
situation. What measurably changes about their behavior? They still scream,
try to run, struggle to survive — I can’t think of any way the situation would
be different. Conscious or not, the deer behaves the same.
Thus, the claim “deers have consciousness” is non-falsifiable — the claim does
not provide any way to be disproven, since there is no difference in
measurable characteristics if the claim is true or false. One day, we might
have a way to quantify consciousness. For the time being we are not even
close.
Claims that are non-falsifiable are not really worthy of scientific inquiry.
My personal conclusion, then, is that the question of consciousness is not a
useful one. Any animal measurably displaying pain is in pain, in every useful
form of the word, and we have a moral obligation to prevent it. Fish included.

You have rediscovered the "philosophical zombie" problem.[0]
Dr. Giulio Tononi[1] has developed an apparatus for calculating what he calls

It's currently computationally intractable for the human brain at full
resolution but heuristics are being developed to minimize that problem.

I read an article not so long ago (unfortunately, I do not recall where)
mentioning the studies of a doctor who was able to open some minimal channel
of communication with patients under a certain form of anesthesia, through
which they were able to answer 'yes' when asked if they felt pain. After the
procedure, they had no recollection of pain (or of being questioned, IIRC.)
This fairly clearly does not generalize to all forms of anesthesia, as some
(including local ones) do block either pain sensors or the signals from them.
I am offering this merely as a datum, as I am not sure what to make of it.

As humans we are evolved to have more compassion the more similar a being is
to us, and less compassion the more different it is from ourselves. Human
ethics is often selfish (pun not intended) in the sense that it is based on
what feels bad for US when doing it. In my opinion, there is nothing
objectively "good" or "bad", there is only harmony or disharmony in nature.
Pain indicates critical disharmony with the ideal state of any being. Same
applies to plants! Do you think plants feel pain? They certainly do, but
"pain" means something entirely different for them. What about planet earth
and its ozone levels?
The real question we have to ask ourselves is, how much are we responsible for
increasing the _harmony_ in the world around us, vs. focusing on our own
expansion in terms of technology, luxury and total population.

Negative stimulus reaction and pain are different things. We know we feel

pain in bacteria. Ants keep doing their job even after fatal damage. If they
feel something, it is not anything like our pain.
So it is not obvious that our feeling of pain is universal.

How are they different? Pain is a negative stimulus response that allows us to
know whether something is causing damage to our body.

How does feeling pain have anything to do with a brain's architecture? It has
more to do with nerves... block a nerve's functioning, and you don't feel
pain. Also, pain can be psychosomatic.

Have you seen ants writhe around after being crushed or dismembered? They
definitely feel pain.

Depends on your definition of pain, doesn't it?

adwn

The difference is between the unpleasant, subjective experience (qualia) and
the electrical signals indicating physical damage.
A car has sensors that detect physical damage, yet it doesn't feel pain in the
way that humans do. The question is, where on that spectrum bacteria, ants,
and fish lie.
> _Have you seen ants writhe around after being crushed or dismembered? They
> definitely feel pain._
Have you seen a car deploy its airbags and notify emergency services after a
crash? And yet, they definitely don't feel pain. Visible reaction to a
negative stimulus is neither a sufficient nor a necessary precondition for
someone or something to feel pain.

Living beings are not mere machines, so the comparison makes little sense. All
living beings have some form of consciousness, and so, are able to feel some
form of discomfort, of which pain is the most extreme.
~~~
adwn
> _All living beings have some form of consciousness_
Event plants, bacteria, and amoebas? You sound very sure – how do you know
this?
~~~
Valmar
I look at the common elements that living beings have, compared to plain
matter.
Animals have consciousness and can feel pain. Animal and plant bodies are both
comprised of many differentiated cells. Both have DNA. Bacteria are singular
cells, and have DNA...
Plants have been demonstrated to have short-term memory, recognize family and
neighbouring plants, and so on. So... it is extremely likely that plants,
bacteria, fungi, and perhaps even amoebas, also have consciousness, feel
emotions and feel pain. Maybe not in the way we think about emotions and pain,
but in whatever way they do, which is entirely mysterious to us, being animals
with animal-consciousness and instincts. We cannot understand what it is like
to be a plant, bacterium, fungus or amoeba... it is far too alien to our
animal-mind.

The article mostly focuses on commercial fishing, but I wonder what this will
mean for people that fish for pleasure?
I do mostly fly fishing where (in the UK at least on stocked reservoirs) the
catch is killed and (presumably) eaten. I guess in those circumstances it will
be treated similar to hunting mammals.
For coarse/catch and release fishing, I'm less sure of the impact. I doubt if
anyone will stop, but maybe it will mean mandatory barbless hooks and stronger
lines so the fish can be reeled in faster and don't need to be played for so
long to tire them out.

There's a difference between pain and suffering.
e.g. a human on an opiate drug can feel pain signals but not be bothered about
them. Yet he can still suffer from the knowledge of his impending death.
We can measure pain signals in animals; we can reasonably guess that most
species don't know that they're eventually going to die. More than that we
don't know yet. Perhaps when we understand better how the mind works (e.g. by
developing AGI) we'll be able to understand animals better too.

I have thought a bit about what we put some fish species through.before eating

me.

All goes around in circles. The more suffering we cause, the more suffering we

~~~
pessimizer
What will you eat when we find out that plants feel pain, they just don't look
as much like us when they feel it as a pig does?
~~~
inDigiNeous
Ok this is the most oldest argument people throw around. Let's just agree to
look at this argument for a while and dissect couple of things: a plant
doesn't run away when you catch it. A pig does.
A plant has a nature of giving, radiating, making oxygen and providing for
it's environment. A pig is a gatherer and hunter, and one of the more
intelligent animals out there. When you try to catch a pig, it runs away, it
squeals for it's life.
Anyway it's not about this fact even though it's important, more what's fucked
up in our current system is the systematic enslavement of feeling, thinking
animals from their birth, in these huge killing camps they call farms these
days. If it was even natural, like it used to be more, that the animals lived
a life that they could enjoy. How would you feel being bred just for kept in a
cage and then systematically killed, with no feeling, no warmness in your life
ever ?
~~~
supreme_sublime
Plants aren't capable of running away. I really don't see this as much of an
argument. Then again, I don't know if I agree that "plants feel pain" either.
I'm not necessarily a huge fan of factory farming, but if people want to be
able to buy meat at any time, I don't really know much of a way around it.
Though ranching still exists, there are plenty of ranches with heads of cattle
that graze freely and eventually are taken to slaughterhouses.
If we did end factory farming, it wouldn't be as simple as just releasing
these animals into the wild either. If we did they would very likely die of
starvation. So we're talking about a generation of cattle/chickens that would
basically need to be killed off so we didn't mess up the environment with a
massive population explosion it couldn't handle.
On top of all of that, you are acting as if these animals are capable of the
kind of thought that you and I are. They can think about their future, what
their eventual fate is. This is fallacious. While animals may show signs of
intelligence, there is no evidence of any kind of consciousness similar to
ours.
This can even be evidenced through humans. People used to think that deaf
people were mentally retarded in some way. Hence "deaf and dumb", however a
lot of them were simply missing language. Language is extremely important as
it not only allows for group cohesion, it also makes inner dialogue possible.
While animals may have some basic kind of communicative capabilities, it is
nothing on the level of humans. So without some kind of language, even if
they're theoretically capable of cognitive thought, they can't have the same
kind of existence as us.

Have you ever watched an animal in the eyes? Can you not see consciousness
there ? This is the same as thinking that animals don't have feelings. What
about dogs, have you not seen dogs doing kind things ?
Killing an generation of animals for food is much better than raising hundreds
or thousands of generations in captivity for the times to come.

Of course they do else they would not avoid things that damage them
physically. Even amoebas "feel" pain.
The important thing is not if something feels pain, but where we draw the line
in regards if an animal's pain is more important than our pleasure. It does
not take much human pleasure to make a few hundred million ameoba suffer,
while it had better be pretty large to make a chimp suffer [1].
1\. I am using pleasure here as shorthand for anything desired or beneficial
for humans.
~~~
misja111
I don't see any rational ground to make the suffering of an amoeba a million
times less relevant than the suffering of a single chimp.
Of course there is the irrational ground that chimps look similar to us and
therefore we find it unpleasant to think about the fact that they are
suffering. So in the end it is all about our pleasure and nothing else. The
tradeoff is between the amount our pleasure we get and for which it is
unavoidable that the animal suffers, against the amount of our pleasure it
costs because we feel sympathy for this particular animal race.
~~~
danieltillett
There is none, but that doesn't change that we need to make this decision.
Your body kills millions on amoeba every day just to stay alive. Ultimately
the tradeoff between human pleasure and animal suffering is arbitrary and set
by society and personal preference.
The only reason I chose chimps is I rather like them so it would take a lot
for me to hurt one. Equally, I don't like Bullrouts [1] (having been poisoned
by one) and I would not be upset if they were all to die a slow and painful
death.

Could we agree once for all that we are predators in a food pyramid and that
this naturally implies that we kill to eat. Now, as a sentient species, we
might try to kill in a more acceptable way (for the victim), but that won't
change much to the result : we kill.
~~~
cageface
Humans are omnivores with a physiology primarily geared towards eating &
digesting plants. We can eat animals but we absolutely don't _need_ to to live
a long, healthy life. So it's really a matter of how much you value your own
pleasure & taste over another creature's suffering.
~~~
leadingthenet
There’s still a significant difference between eating meat less often and
abstaining from meat and other animal products completely, isn’t there?
~~~
cageface
Yeah sure. The suffering you cause is proportional to how much meat you eat.
If quitting it entirely is too big a step for you then try scaling it back.
Even a single meat-free day a week is a good place to start. You may find you
don't miss it as much as you think you will.
~~~
Valmar
> The suffering you cause is proportional to how much meat you eat.
Oh really? Sounds like ideology more than fact.
Are you really insinuating that plants don't feel pain? Because they certainly
do. Look up Cleve Backster's research on plants.
~~~
cageface
It takes 7-10 kg of plants to produce one kg of meat, so you're causing that
much more suffering even if you are willing to claim that plants suffer as
much as we do from pain.
~~~
Valmar
Then we just need to feed the animals their natural diets instead of the
abnormal, unnatural diet of grains and soyabeans that most factory-farmed
animals are currently fattened on.
Solution doesn't seem that difficult to me.
~~~
cageface
If we do that then we can all eat meat about once a week. And anyway the ratio
of plants eaten to meat produced would be about the same so no gain there.

Sadly, the license of the library used to talk to the Oculus Rift (libOVR) is
also under very restrictive terms - you can't use it with competing systems,
can't distribute it in part, and lose the license if your users have health or
safety issues with your product.
With the source code available, it's hard to make a clean-room reverse

Next-react-analytics - An analytics library for React that's utterly butterly

months and there's no good time to share. Doing it now post midnight. :)
So, here's an analytics library that works with Redux events out of the box.
Declare one event listener for all your redux events and it will trigger the

A quick example of a universal event listener
```function getQuoteListener(event, eventsHistory){

What about specific event types? Don't worry, got all covered. Readme will
uncover more
It's very specifically tied to redux actions so far. So if your application is
structured in a way ( should be if you use redux ) it would sure be helpful
for you.

There are less focus on the last leaves but it's still great.

engage to a race to have the best first comment. We want to seek to engage

DougWebb
I can see why collapsible sub-trees aren't _quite_ dead-simple. The comment
list is a single table, and each comment is a separate row. There's no
container around a comment's children. (Also, the indenting is implemented by
putting a 1x1 image in the first column and setting its width based on the
indent depth required.)
Internally, there's obviously tracking of parent/child relationships, but
adding container elements so that the children can be hidden would require
getting rid of the table-based layout and replacing it with a nested div-based
layout. The markup and styling changes would be fairly simple, but none of us
know what the impact is on the backend, or on anything that depends on the
markup structure that may or may not be in HN's control. My guess is that
these non-technical impacts are the driving force behind keeping the markup as
it is, which prevents the kind of features you want.
~~~
pas
Find the row clicked on.
Find the indent.
For every row that has larger indent (until one with the same indent), set
display: none.
For this row, mark it collapsed (even by putting a div around the current
content, un-displaying it and putting a "show thread" button/link there).
So indent is width of the "invisible pixel", easy to query, isn't it?
What am I missing?

It _really_ needs some polishing, but I am using a handcrafted UserScript [1]
that lets me navigate comments with the keyboard (j/k as well as p/g/J/K),
fold/unfold (m) and vote (a/z). Also some styling to ease reading (larger
font, indentation marker). However, the "reply" (r) feature is not complete
(i.e. broken), "last" (G) shortcut fails for some reason and flagged comments
break the navigation.
If you look in the relevant folder, you may notice it was initially designed
for Word Press (WP.user.js), more precisely SlateStarCodex, and seems to work
for most such blogs. SSC.user.js is just meant to improve the styling of
SlateStarCodex.

I think users should be able to flag a certain subtree of the comments tree as
"off-topic" or "tangential" so that after a certain flag threshold such
subtree is automatically shown as folded, and users would be able to see the

I never used collapsible comments on reddit. By the time you're reading deep
into a branch and decide that it's better to skip it, you already too far from
the comment that started the branch. It's actually more difficult to scroll
back and click collapse than scroll forward until the next top-level comment.

There's a philosophical reason for a cumbersome UI, and it revolves around the
idea that comment volume should overall remain somewhat low.
It _should_ be hard to manage tons of comments on a story, because it lowers
the overall comment count.
I'd love to see some A/B testing on this.
~~~
function_seven
I understand the philosophy, but the law of unintended consequences means that
the comment threads are only about whatever the top commenter brought up.
For example, let's say the article is "Scientists discover new material that
boosts solar panel efficiency by 16%". The top comment might be, "This does
nothing to alleviate the base-load problem. We still need better battery
technology".
Well now the comment section for me is all about battery chemistry, battery
manufacturing news, hydro-pumping as a means of storage, etc. All because the
top comment spawned its own mega-thread that pushes relevant (to the story)
comments off the bottom.

no, i disagree strongly.

reading.
~~~
thex10
it's _not_ given to you 'all in one shot' though. the 'top' comment is first,
along with all of its responses, then the second top comment, and so on.
you'll still miss many good responses because you won't scroll through
hundreds of comments (which can be very lengthy on a mobile screen).
also let's not conflate collapsible and half-loading. this thread is not
advocating partial loading. you dont need partial loading of comments in order
to enable collapsible functionality.

Can you imagine if companies did this regularly? If people actually "listened"
to what they're agreeing to when they use common software? They might actually

New idea: A table on Wikipedia of software and the rights you give up by using
it, compared to Free software and the rights you retain.
~~~
mirkules
"New idea: A table on Wikipedia of software and the rights you give up by
using it, compared to Free software and the rights you retain."
IMO, an obscure table on Wikipedia is not going to make anyone stop using
software. EULAs were designed to make people "click through," and even if they
DID read them, they generally wouldn't care if the software did what they
needed it to do. I propose instead that whoever is interested in making Free
software that they make quality software that people want to use. Apache,
Firefox, and FileZilla are good examples of this (ok FileZilla may be
stretching it, but see below). GIMP and OpenOffice are not.
Personally, I will jump through _some_ hoops to get stuff working, but if it
seems like it's going to be a time-sink just to edit a photo, open a .docx
file or some other trivial task, I'm going to download and use whatever gets
me there faster. I might get downvoted for saying this, but I'm just not going
to waste my time configuring half-baked software when there are quality
commercial alternatives available (and same goes in reverse, in the case of
Apache, for example).
~~~
s-phi-nl
In complete honesty, what are some of the weaknesses of OpenOffice? Lest I
seem like an OpenOffice fanboy, I will say that I expect that I will agree
with a number of its weaknesses, but simply be unaware of them since I have
not used Microsoft Office much since moving to Linux a few years ago. One
weakness I do know of is that its .doc converter is not perfect.
~~~
netcan
IMO, its main weakness is that it feels like an outdated version of MS Office.
It also makes users need to think a little but more. For example, it
encourages you to make an informed decisions regarding your file format
preference and be aware of their consequences with regards to file sharing,
freedoms, etc. Something most users prefer to keep hidden. Spreadsheets and
presentations aren't as pretty and even less pretty when opened in MS which
means OO.org is pretty useless to anyone who uses these for work or school.
Basically its software for people who want free software or for people who
don't want to pay for software, won't/can't pirate it, and either don't mind
tiny inconveniences or have pretty basic needs.
Office is a software package that for many people, represents a big part of
their computer literacy. Being a little different can be the same as making
them a little dumber.
That said, its perfectly fine. IF MS fell off a bridge tomorrow most people
would use it without much issues.
~~~
kissickas
I'll have to disagree with two of those statements. To me MS Office
(admittedly I haven't owned any version since the ribbon toolbar) looks much
worse now than LibreOffice does (and as far as I know it hasn't deviated too
far from OO.o).
As far as the file formats go, I like it to remind me to convert back to .odt
when I'm done using a file in .doc because it uses less of my Dropbox.
However, I've given LibreOffice to both of my parents now and they can barely
tell the difference- once I set their initial preferences it stopped prompting
them about file formats.
~~~
netcan
Sure _you_ do. Most people don't want to know about file formats. Neither do I
honestly. To people who have been using the ribbon toolbar (newer versions),
OO feels like going back. And sure you can give it to your parents or anyone
else, especially for home use. I did say it was perfectly fine.
~~~
kissickas
What I'm saying is that by default it prompts you about file formats, but it's
easy to set it once (as .doc, even) and never bother with it again.
Do you like the ribbon toolbar? I was under the impression that pretty much
everyone hated it. Honest question.
~~~
netcan
Everyone hated it originally. Now people like it. It's just like most changes.
I haven't used it much myself. I usually use Open Office.
Sure, setting is a possible "solution" but that implies there is a problem.
Most people will do fine with it but most people probably also just wish their
son would just install pirated Office for them like their neighbors.

Now add the fact that Richard Dreyfuss' fame and fortune comes mostly from the

Personally, I'd rather click "Ok" on a absurd (and unread) EULA than to not
have access to the product at all.

carussell
Your "no access to the product" of course includes a caveat, which is that you
haven't paid for the product.
If you apply the same caveat to the EULA-bound Apple products, the net effect

If it bothers you, get out before you are locked in further. Stop buying new

products and buy yourself something else to replace the functions the device

If the people who don't like being locked in but just accept it anyway and

Follow-up: Mozilla's stand on H.264 as ActiveX analogy - sax
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2010/01/activex_all_ove.html
======
blasdel
How about a more relevant analogy to Flash? It has the same insecurities and
platform-dependence plus being encumbered by the same patents (and more!), but
Mozilla took exactly the opposite approach!
Since 2004, Mozilla has had baked-in support for automatically installing
Flash on the first encounter if the plugin is not found. A nice little yellow
infobar pops down (a brilliant UI innovation), prompting you to install it
with a few clicks, even without root access on both Windows and Linux.
They've also recently implemented automatic update checking for Flash. Since
it's their biggest security hole, they throw up a big nasty "update now"
warning on launch if you're using a known-vulnerable version. Mozilla even
initially distributed the Flash binaries under license themselves via
addons.mozilla.org -- I'm not sure if they still do so.
Flash is shitty, nonredistributable, closed-source, restricted-platform,
proprietary, and patent-encumbered but they're willing to go to great lengths
to help their users use it. Why not do the same thing for ffmpeg, which is
merely patent-encumbered?

And that's part of the problem too. The Mozilla devs have made it next to
impossible to plug in a video decoder to replace the embedded one, so there's
no way to just punt the decision to the OS by passing the video to DirectShow
/ QuickTime / gstreamer / etc. It's Theora or nothing.

Dirac stands a good chance of being added in the near future.

necessary scripting hokum.

duskwuff
Entirely doable, but <object> doesn't expose the same scripting APIs that
<video> does. So, for instance, you will get a playable video in YouTube, but
none of the YT buttons will work.
~~~
geocar
The YT buttons could be made to work because there is an analog for them, for
example: document.getElementById('video').controls.pause(); does what you
would expect.

If they make a compromise, they should drop Flash and support H.264. I would
prefer THAT choice. Flash is buggy, slow, unsecure, proprietary from a single
vendor. H.264 is much more useful, has a standard, multiple implementations
(hardware and software)...

Ask HN: How to deal with big existing code base when you are new to the team - maheshs
Context - I am just starting with a team as a new member which have huge ReactJS code base. I have only basic understanding of ReactJS.<p>Is there any mental modal, tips, experience which I can follow to speed up my understanding of framework as well as code base and start contributing ASAP?
======
machiaweliczny
Start with understanding what business problem the app solves.
Understand roles in application (admin, user, etc.) Click through the
application, do list of all URLs/pages, describe what you think it does and
consult with PO/team to clarify understanding.
Then learn where data comes in/out and in what format. Study schema of
database (hint: ERD diagrams). Then study business API (schema, endpoints,
graphiql).
Then you can move to frontend. Frontend is easy after you understand all above
:P You will basically know what it does/should do, so you don't even need to
read code.
React code is very modular so it's easy to navigate, to find where to start
simply use React Devtools (shows component name on hover), then you should be
able to navigate rest of code via IDE/editor.
If codebase is of high quality it should also have React Styleguidist or
Storybook with most components to play with.
To understand react it's best to write it yourself:

Get the application working locally. You will likely find a lot of old half-
written doc that doesn’t work anymore, and other developers have tricks and
changes they made on their local machine to get things running. You should get
it all running yourself and document what you did for the next developer.
~~~
thescriptkiddie
My team's code hasn't been able to run locally for at least 7 years. All
development consists of committing changes to SVN trunk and running a Hudson
build to update a shared dev server. We have hundreds of commits per day,
mostly with unhelpful messages like "up".
halp
~~~
kls
I cannot agree with the GP post more, you should be able to reproduce a
working environment from source and environmental config. If you cannot you
may want to try getting your team and your management to see the value in
investing in doing so. When I took my latest contract, I literally walked into
an environment where developers where pushing to the same server, debugging on
the same server and generally stomping all over each other. I felt like I was
developing in the 90's all over again. They did not see that it was a huge
productivity killer. I took the time to automate the development environment
to the point where each developer was able to run a script and have a fully
local dev environment. Isolated DB, isolated server, isolated LDAP instance
everything needed to run the environment completely disconnected. It is really
not that hard to go thru the process of setting everything up and capturing
the process in scripts, even something as simple as shell scripts or
powershell scripts are better than having the dev environment fail, and having
to stop progress while everyone scrambles to get an environment back up.
As for the topic at hand, I always find the entry point of the application,
fire up the debugger and walk thru the main workflows of the application. This
generally gives me enough of a mental map of the app to be able to dig into an
area when I get a bug or feature request. The debugger allows you to break on
areas you don't understand and work thru them in more detail.
Total tangent: this is why I detest and will not whiteboard in interviews, I
am a debugger forward developer, it is how I reason about code. I think behind
the compiler (or interpreter) the debugger is the second most important tool
in a developers toolbox. It's sole purpose is to help a developer understand
what is going on at runtime. It is hands down the best way to learn a new
codebase.
~~~
thescriptkiddie
Any advice on what to do if the code is heavily entangled with AWS?
~~~
kls
You should have development or pre-prod versions of your AWS services, for
those areas local dev environments should point to those endpoints. Ideally
each dev would have their own AWS sandbox, but I get it that sometimes that is
an impractical solution so what I would personally do, is create a nightly (or
unstable) instance where one can test their code against the latest code base
and push needed changes to, a stable instance where known stable features and
bug fixes get deployed and then a release instance where testers can test
against items deemed fit to go out in the next release. Developers should
switch their local to unstable and stable endpoints based on their needs as
well as the condition of unstable. If someone breaks unstable, other
developers can still progress against stable they just cannot push to it. So
think of stable as can read but cannot write. Once unstable is back up, they
can push any service changes they need to up to AWS. As a side note, it is the
responsibility of whoever broke unstable to get it back up and running for the
other devs.

a few solid starting options that I have used at different times in my career:
1) start with tests - reading existing tests, adding tests, fixing tests which
fail etc. Any of these should really help give you some threads to unpick to
get started in understanding the bigger picture. I don't think I've ever seen
a dev shop where an old hand would turn down a PR review from a new engineer
who was adding new test coverage.
2) start with backlog - try implement some dusty feature from the backlog that
has been sitting there for a while. One place I worked I started with "Convert
100+ functions from deprecated format A to new shiney shiney format B".
Another was "fix the thing which isn't compiling on new platform X". Another
was "fix the millions of warnings we get when we turn warnings on". These are
really unimaginably boring tasks in and of themselves, but focused me on a few
different things which are useful to know early (how to push a PR, how tests
work, how the build infrastructure works etc) and get you started contributing
something useful right away.
3)Start with infrastructure - I like the suggestion which someone else has
made of getting the app to run locally. I would extend that to fixing a piece
of broken dev tooling. If you're infrastructure-minded, this can be a nice way
to start and win you some goodwill with other devs.
Don't think you need to understand everything to make a big contribution
though. A lot of coding isn't about being an expert it's about putting in the
work. Observe code reviews, see what gets merged and in particular make sure
you understand and take on board why PRs get rejected/resubmitted.
One thing to bear in mind is you're going to be a bit of a tax on your
colleagues while getting up to speed. Help them (and yourself) by making your
PRs shorter and simpler initially to make sure you're on track. (eg in the
example above, don't do 100 functions in one pr, do one, submit it, ask for
feedback, then do more).

seanhunter
oh also look at the repo history to know who the real major contributors are.
You don't want to waste these people's time, but buying them the occasional
coffee and asking good questions can be worth its weight in gold. `git
shortlog -ns --no-merges` is worth looking at.

My coworkers at every new place I work at make jokes at me for doing this, but
I usually identify reference code I can print off right away.
For instance, once you finish a feature or task, identify the most important
bits that happen. Create a gist of it on github.com, then promptly print it.
It needs to fit on one or two pages at most, delete stuff that's not relevant.
Likewise, if you have to learn their styling guidelines and naming, print off
the most important parts.
Stuck on javascript concepts? Print the parts you struggle on. Stuck on
lifecycle methods? Print the diagram. Constantly flipping between jira
tickets? Print them.
The reason why this works is because you apply the concepts of space
repetition to pick things up quickly. Your forced to chunk the code snippets
in print form in a meaningful manner
As time goes on just write reusable code that you can copy later for different
parts of the app. You won't need to print anything anymore because its
commited to memory.
Also I make small side projects with coding patterns I can copy paste easily
too
------
kbrannigan
Start with a small feature. Like a total count. Look what list of objects is
being counted.
Make a note of the object's type.
Find what function is retrieving those objects say A list of users.
What is making the AJAX call to get those users.
Are there any tests?
------
thiago_fm
Take a look at the completed merge requests/features. If any developer of that
team was any good, there would be plenty of well-written merge requests and
commits.
With that, you would know what to touch and when.
When in doubt, check tests, the feature itself and the git history.
If you are new to ReactJS, also try to look for a mentor inside your
company/team. They don't need to to active mentoring, but more like a person
you can fall back to, and that enjoys doing mentoring and does it well.
BTW, Good luck on your new job!
------
danbolt
I'm not familiar with ReactJS, sadly but I often use breakpoint debugging and
IO (eg: print statements, drawing shapes, logging, etc.) to help get a feel
for the common data flow quickly. This lets me make a hypothesis like "when I
click on this button, does this line get hit?" or "does this series of
functions get called?".
Sadly, I'm not 100% what that would look like in your situation.
------
potta_coffee
There are lots of good tips, I'll add mine: I always ask for a few simpler
bugs or small feature requests that I can use to learn the codebase. For me,
it's easier to dive in when I have a smaller surface to focus on.

jammygit
I wrote a lot of sequence diagrams for tasks I worked on and saved the
interesting ones. Also, finding somebody senior to explain a module pays off
big time. Also, learn the database schema: all an app really does is
manipulate data

AnimalMuppet
Pick a part (like maybe the part that you're first going to have to work on).
Get a tour of that part from someone on the team. Then dive into that part.
When you have questions, ask.

rsync
This is the story of the VPS and how it came to be:
In August of 2001 I was flying from Denver to San Diego to do some contract
datacenter work.
I had a Toshiba Libretto 110CT that was running FreeBSD and I was trying to
troubleshoot an OS config issue, so I tried jail. It gave me a complete, new
FreeBSD system inside of a directory.
Then a lightbulb went on ...
A month later I posted beta invites to the cDc and 303 mailing lists and in
December "JohnCompanies" was born. I advertised almost solely on kuro5hin.org
and grew the company from my apartment in Aspen, Colorado. In February, 2004,
I sold the company.
We called them "server instances", but "VPS" is the name that eventually
caught on.
JohnCompanies still lives on today. Not sure where they'd fit on the "VPS
Compare" list. I see our ad is still up on kuro5hin, if only because Rusty is
too lazy to remove it, after more than 10 years...
The backup system(s) that we built for JohnCompanies customers was reworked
and launched as a standalone product in 2006. You know it as "rsync.net".

Needs an option for less than 1TB of bandwidth. Some of us just want to crunch
data and have no need for such large bandwidth. You even have an option for
1GB disk, so what about adding an option for 100GB bandwidth?
As another commenter has said, cores mean nothing unless they're dedicated to
my VM. There needs to be a better metric, but unfortunately it's very
difficult to "benchmark" a VPS objectively. Any ideas?
Is that 600GB of HDD or 600GB of SSD, or 600GB of SSD-cached HDD? Those are
all very different things, and the little icon to the left of the capacity is
neither noticeable nor searchable.
Big countries like Canada and the United States need to be broken down into
3-4 regions for latency-sensitive customers.
Users should be able to choose the currency. Right now you're second-guessing
the currency based on my location/Accept-Language/whatever and it doesn't seem
to be changeable.
Having a column for the virtualization platform might be useful for some
people. Is it OpenVZ, KVM, Xen-PV or Xen-HVM?

If you really want this site to have useful rankings for anyone aside from
those looking to pay the bare minimum, consider gathering some additional
information:
a) Uptime statistics
b) Customer-Support ratings
c) Technical ratings (user assessment of various tools provided by the VPS,
ease of migration, etc.)

This.
Small VPS are dime a dozen on Lowendbox.com. You can grab them for $1 and
below.
They tend to be unstable, slow as molasses, poorly supported, and the hosters
sometimes just disappear overnight (often to relaunch under a new name a few
months later...).
They are almost never worth the hassle since DigitalOcean will sell you a
proper VM for $5.
So _if_ you want to compare them, you need more creative metrics. A simple
"does this company exist for over a year?"-column would already weed out many
of the worst ones.

I would add the option to have sub-1GB RAM VPS's. Lots of them still are
offered in the 512 MB range. Include the option to filter by number of IPv6
addresses offered. Also, add a filter for virtualization technology and if
they use SolusVM or a custom control panel. Otherwise very cool and useful!

That's a great app. Some ideas:

- 1 GB as the lowest memory threshold leaves out plenty of good deals.
- Sometimes we need a bunch of machines for a short period of time. Can I pay per minute? Hour? Day?
- Which payment methods do they accept?
- Maybe, if possible, the ability to see for how long they've been around. Cheap hosters tend to disappear often.
- Maybe, if possible, uptime stats.

Where's the "can pay anonymously in bitcoin" option? I thought that was a
thing these days. ;)
~~~
jlgaddis
Honest question: is there legitimate demand for this for legitimate reasons?
I was big into Bitcoin about four years ago and work for an ISP nowadays. We
provide services as well and I've considered mail/web hosting/VPS/dedicated
offerings (on a small scale) with Bitcoin as a payment option but I don't want
to end up attracting the "wrong type" of people.
I realize that there are people who simply want to be anonymous and I'm
totally fine with that (I do run Tor relays, for example) but my fear is that
the majority of customers this would attract would be those that are "up to no
good".
Thinking out loud, perhaps a mail hosting service payable with Bitcoin would
be a good way to test the waters -- that is, we could take care of domain
registration, DNS configuration/hosting, etc. and allow access over Tor for
those looking for "anonymous e-mail" (although I'd be implementing pretty low
limits on volume, at least initially).
~~~
heyalexej
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to pay with BTC. I love how friction-
less and easy it is, especially if you get partially paid in BTC as well for
your services. I love [https://bithost.io](https://bithost.io) and I guess you
could ask Scott if he had any problems so far.
He gives you a limit of 2 instances (droplets) on signup. You can then open a
ticket and explain what you intend to do and he gives you the desired number
of servers. I give him access to the apps I'm working on to remove any doubt
and be transparent.
I always think that malicious people find entirely different ways to get what
they want without even thinking of payment. Hacking a box for example.

Be careful X core means nothing reliable, for 99.9% of VPS providers, they are
not dedicated nor rated and could be divisible by up to 2000 guests
(particularly with OpenVZ provider), at least on Rackspace, AWS, Azure the CPU
performance is generally within a specific range (variability due to minor
hardware config differences, and noisy neighbours, but appropriately
restrained). In addition 99.5% of these providers don't have the sufficient
knowledge to run a VPS operation, they purchase a few dedicated servers and
copy of SolusVM and WHMCS and hope and pray for the best.
~~~
jlgaddis
I work for an ISP and can put as many machines in our datacenters as I want
(within reason, of course) so I only have a few (small) VPSes nowadays. When I
used to have a bunch of them, however, I quickly learned to avoid anything
OpenVZ-based like the plague.
This is anecdotal, of course, but OpenVZ "feels" very much inferior and the
providers running OpenVZ (more often than not) very much seemed like fly-by-
night operations simply trying to squeeze as many VMs as possible onto a
physical host without any regard to performance.

I've had the same experience. Xen and KVM seem to be best for predictable

Question for everybody: why would you choose a VPS over a "cloud" server (e.g.
AWS, Azure, GCE)? Why vice versa?
~~~
noblethrasher
Short answer: VPS are (usually) cheaper, and you have _total_ control.
Longer answer: There are basically two approaches to scaling software: Either
you build/simulate better computers (vertical scaling), or you deploy more of
them (horizontal scaling).
Dedicated hardware lets you build or simulate having a better computer (e.g.
FPGAs, or using a network driver that is ideal for your traffic patterns, or a
heavily tuned JVM). On the other hand, the cloud lets you quickly add (or
remove) computers in response to service demand.
VPSs just split the difference (though they are usually closer to the vertical
side of the equation).

It's OpenVZ, not full virtualization. That means you have no control over the
kernel (e.g. can' t upgrade it, can't fully reboot), and it's said - but I

Jobs didn't die after presenting the iPhone in 2007 though. He passed away in
2011, well into the "there's an app for that" ad campaign that boasted how the
iPhone _could_ in fact radically change the rhythm of users' daily lives.
~~~
sp332
There were no apps because they assumed everyone would use websites. Which is
still mostly what I use my phone for (although I have an Android).
~~~
jharger
I do not believe this to be true at all. The App Store opened in July 2008,
just over a year after the initial iPhone was released. That means that likely
had to at least be on the Apple product roadmap well before the iPhone was
even released.
~~~
chc
He explicitly said in the iPhone launch that the intended way to create apps
for the iPhone was to make a website:
> The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. And so, you can write amazing
> Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the

I remember a lot of jokes in the Mac developer community at the time about
what a "sweet story" this was. It seemed like the public SDK was a response to
jailbreak apps being more popular than the intended "iPhone Web apps."
~~~
jharger
I'm not debating that he said that, I'm just suggesting that it was a
marketing ploy, either to buy the teams some time to iron out the details with
the app store, or some clever product strategy to release the app store later
(which was hugely popular when it did come out)
...but then I don't know, I wasn't there.
------

I'm not sure there's a strong connection with Jobs' desire to limit native
code execution and social good will. It's probably worth pointing out that
reportedly, Jobs himself kept iOS devices away from his own children because
he considered them "too addictive."
Apple's original position on third party apps was that they deserved on the
web, in what would eventually become known as "progressive web app" form. That
position was abandoned not just because it was a mediocre user experience, but
also, it actually prevented device lock-in, which is something Jobs obviously
craved.
You can argue that some apps are time-sucks, or bad for your overall well-
being, and I'll be right there with you. But that has relatively little to do
with whether they're shitty web apps or native code apps.
And also, the fact that smartphones do way more than originally imagined is a
great thing. In most parts of the world, I can pull out my phone, tap a few
characters, and a car will magically pull up where I am and take me wherever I
need to go. Or bring me food. I can translate anything to anything. I know the
second a flight is delayed, which lets me be more present in life. My life is
assuredly better because my smartphone is turing-complete and runs third party
software.
~~~
endorphone
"Apple's original position on third party apps..."
To add some necessary context, Apple's position on almost everything is "what
we are currently doing is best" (and from that "what our competitors are doing
is wrong" or "what you wish it did is wrong"). Building a whole native
development platform, curation system, etc, is a massive undertaking, so with
the first device Jobs unsurprisingly pitched their current state as ideal. And
as they adopted new choices, those became the new ideal. Any who read too much
into Jobs various sentiments that could best be expressed as sales pitches
might be going astray.
~~~
bouncing
That's a good point.
"We haven't figured out third party app curation yet" might have been
accurate, but not in Apple's style to admit.
~~~
CharlesW
Exactly. Or even more likely, "we have a pretty good idea of what we want the
native apps experience to be, but it's not ready/good enough yet".
------
bradenb
I think the author is wrong on nearly all counts. I think Steve Jobs loved to
see what people were interested in and find a way to make it easier to have
and use. The iPod was a way of taking something people loved to do (listen to
music) and make it easier with "1000 songs in your pocket."
At the risk of romanticizing: from what I've read, he wasn't about creating
brand-new concepts, he was all about taking existing concepts and turning them
into what people really wanted them to be.
Lastly, I think the author gives Apple and Steve Jobs far too much credit.
Apps didn't become successful on these platforms because of app vendors, they
became successful because people started asking "what else can I do with this
phone?" People _want_ to constantly feel "in the loop" and "productive."
~~~
hopler
Right. this article is someone who has no credibility for their own argument
trying to borrow credibility from a dead person by outlandishly claiming that
the famous dead person agrees with them.
------
richardwhiuk
I'm not sure Steve Jobs's opinion here is relevant.
I'm also not convinced that just because Steve Jobs pitched something one way
in a presentation so that the audience would understand what the device meant,
meant that he didn't see a large vision of an always-on, internet-enabled
device.
~~~

goodroot
I get lambasted for this opinion all the time, but I am still holding it...
The Blackberry was the peak of efficient, minimal phone usage:
* It optimized for doing things like short letter and message writing well through the keyboard.
* Blackberry messenger still leads in terms of features that can reduce noise: appear offline and availability settings, friends lists.
* It focused on productivity applications, screen size kept browsing to "as needed".
As a Canadian, I remember when the iPhone started to take over. My friends
were sitting around playing Paper Toss, meanwhile my berry sat quietly in my
pocket.
~~~
Yetanfou
Yet that same Blackberry was also nicknamed 'Crackberry' due to the seemingly
addictive nature of the device which had some users glued to its screen just
as much as current devices do. The conclusion to draw from this is probably
that some people will get addicted to anything and everything which gives them
the semblance of 'connectivity'.

Having actually seen the video years ago, this article strikes me as a big
mischaracterization of what Jobs said -- let alone envisioned, which only Jobs
would know.
I don't remember the exact quote, but in the first couple minutes of the
video, Jobs introduces the talk saying iPhone is going to revolutionize three
industries by combining an iPod, a phone, and internet communication device.
Jobs was fully aware it was going to be huge for those three reasons combined.
Had he not envisioned it was about having the internet in your pocket, he'd
have stopped at it being an iPod that can place phone calls.
------
dare0505
I think "Wanted" should be changed to "Imagined" to better reflect the
content.
With that being said, it's a refreshing article. Most articles on Steve Jobs
focus on how visionary he was, how he was predicting everything etc. This one
is stating that, he was a human after all, just like us, and that the future
is notoriously hard to imagine and predict. Nassim Taleb would agree :)

He didn't want us to use Macs the way we do either. The Mac's spiritual
predecessor, the Lisa, originally came with an office suite and that was it.
No third-party application software could be installed. Eventually,
alternative OSes (including Unix) and an emulation layer allowing Apple to
badge-engineer unsold Lisas as the "Macintosh XL" would change that, but the
original concept was fixed functionality that would prevent users from being
overwhelmed by too many choices.
Steve had a fondness for completely circumscribed ecosystems and "computers as
appliances" which I don't think he ever totally let go of, despite innovation
and market demands showing obvious benefits to users being able to expand the
capabilities of their own devices.

> _He didn 't want us to use Macs the way we do either. The Mac's spiritual
> predecessor, the Lisa…_
Steve was forced out of the Lisa group more than 2 years before the Lisa
shipped, so it's a stretch to infer a "no third-party applications" intent on
Steve's part based on that.
Also, Lisa Workshop allowed for third-party application development and
shipped alongside Lisa Office System (IIRC). Are you saying that it was
possible to develop applications for the Lisa but not run them? (I honestly
don't know, but that seems unlikely.)
> _Steve had a fondness for completely circumscribed ecosystems and "computers
> as appliances"…_
You may be thinking of Jef Raskin, who originally envisioned Macintosh as a
"computer appliance". Steve's vision for Macintosh was much different than
Jef's, and Apple actively courted third-party developers during its
development.

It’s interesting to ponder how much of the smartphone ecosystem was an
accidental byproduct of implementation details: namely, the decision to use a
stripped-down desktop OS, rather than a beefed-up iPod OS. Allegedly, the
latter was also in the works as a phone, but it was Scott Forstall’s OS X team
who won the battle internally. Even though the feature set was shipped as
“iPod that makes calls”, the fact that everyone knew there was a full OS under
the hood made the proliferation of apps inevitable.
I suspect we would have gotten to the present-day norm eventually either way;
but, if not for “OS X in your pocket”, the iPhone might have wound up in the
same historic dustbin as the Newton, the Palm, and the Sidekick, a mere
precursor rather than the thin end of a revolutionary wedge.

That's because, IIRC, he was doing a dramatic reveal where each set of
features was discussed separately (iPod, cell phone, internet navigator). The
fact that this section came last doesn't mean Jobs thought it was less
important. In fact, it was arguably the most impressive part (iPods already
existed, as did cell phones, but there were no good touch-screen internet-
enabled devices). That's probably why it was last.

This essay absurdly treats humans and their beliefs as immutable objects.
There is no justifiable reason to think this, even as much as Jobs may have
likened himself to a deity.

Perhaps Jobs didn't appreciate the full extent to which their product would
transform humanity, but that is not necessarily the same thing as him not
wanting, or opposing, us using our iPhones as much as we do.
I understand the desire for a backlash on smartphones, but their ubiquity is
simply a demonstration of just how much utility we derive from them.

I don't think ubiquity necessarily implies utility. Was the ubiquity of

While the title of this article may be a bit misleading as numerous people
here have reliably pointed out, I think comments so far are missing the
broader point. Cal Newport's focus for awhile now has been on "minimalist" use
of our phones, and how social media, etc. are interrupting/damaging our lives
in numerous ways.
Despite the "cheap" headline and arguments you could make of his narrow
interpretation of Jobs' introduction of the iPhone, Newport's broader points
IMHO should still be recognized and are important to be heard.

Seeing that by the time the iPhone was introduced, there were already millions

The reason Jobs didn’t want to demo the Internet part of the phone was because
it was terribly buggy at the time of the demo and they rehearsed a way to
carefully navigate a few pages in a specific order that wouldn’t crash the
browser.

Jobs didn't focus on, at the time, non-existent features, like the mobile web,
because they didn't exist. The authors interpretation is not well supported

WAP was introduced in 1999, and m.example.com (or .mobi ones; introduced in

exist at all.

LOL at the NYT taking Steve Jobs' marketing tactics as his actual normative
views. News flash: Steve Jobs was the best in the history of capitalism at
"it's not a bug, it's a feature." The iPhone was perfect without 3rd party
apps because it didn't have 3rd party apps! Once there were 3rd party apps, it
was perfect with 3rd party apps. It was perfect with a 3 inch screen because
it had a 3 inch screen. When he increased it then it was perfect then. When it
had a bad radio it wasn't the phone that was imperfect, it was you and your
stupid fucking hand!
Notice how many times Apple has used the motto "the best iStuff since iStuff."
It worked better several years ago, but they always claim their current thing
is the Platonic ideal of its category.

Ask HN: Tools for taking notes on videos? - rpandey1234
What software exists for taking notes on videos? (e.g. lectures, political speeches, video games, or even music videos.) Having a clean and easy way to annotate video content according to timestamp would have lots of educational value. I've found these two sites which seem to do the job, but they seem clunky or non-intuitive:<p>http://www.videonot.es/
https://ant2.cehd.umn.edu/<p>Can anyone suggest other options?
======
jcr
If I was faced with your problem, I'd solve it in an odd way which _might_ not
be what you want.
I'd use subtitles.
With a bit of ffmpeg magic, I'd get the video file into MKV (Matroska) format
simply because I like them best and I find them easiest to edit. The important
piece is MKV supports embedding subtitle text into the video container format
as a separate "stream" (read:file). It's easy to add or remove subtitles.
The next problem is timing your text to specific parts of the video, but this
problem has mostly been solved by the fansub crowd. There are a few different
open and closed source subtitling programs out there. I have no experience
with them, so I can't make any suggestions. If I needed a solid suggestion,
I'd ask any of the fansub groups. They'd know what works well.
In most regards, what you want is the subtitling software itself since it
allows you to both view the video and _edit_ your text. If your text is
simple, it should do the trick.
EDIT: If you have the urge to do some hacking, you could also modify a player
like VLC or mplayer to show text in a separate window from the video. This
could help if you need to _present_ your additions to others.
~~~
ScottWhigham
Are you answering the same question OP asks though? By definition, "notes" are
your personal summary/questions/ideas about what's being presented. Your notes
might refer to the words in the presentation, or the video, or pictures, or
the music, or just random ideas that come to you. Subtitles are not that -
subtitles are the original text in its entirety. So I guess I don't see how
subtitles == notes.
~~~
jcr
Subtitles are just text data with a time code corresponding to a point in the
video, so the _feature_ of "subtitles" can be used to store whatever text you
want, including notes, even though keeping notes was not the intent of the
feature. There is nothing requiring the text data to be either an exact
transcription or translation of the audio data. In fact, some fansub groups
have released "joke" or "troll" translations for fun on various anime videos.
Once you generate your subtitle text file, you can easily merge it into the
video file. There are a few different subtitle text formats but the only one
I've really worked with is SSA/ASS.
The MKV video container format allows you to store multiple "streams" (files)
of ASCII or UTF-8 text synced by time codes to the video. The reason for
multiple subtitle streams is so one video (container) file can have subtitles
in multiple languages. This means if there's some hard limit (I'm not sure if
there is) on the amount of text you can have at a single time code, you can
get around the problem by adding another stream/file.

CSS Front-end Frameworks with comparison - afshinmeh

jbarrow
Really great comparison chart. One thing that I, personally, would like to see
is the relative sizes of each of the libraries (or at least their core,
minified includes). While it certainly wouldn't control my decision of which
framework to use, it would certainly be interesting to see which frameworks
achieve what functionality with x amount of code.
~~~
lowboy
Also helpful would be a brief list of functionality so you can make a
comparison more fairly. Bootstrap's minified 122kB css weight (with
responsive) is huge compared to that of Skeleton's 12kB, but the former has
more features. Or Toast, with it's 3.7kB min size but even fewer features than
Skeleton.

I hate to be that guy, but the chart would be a lot more useful if the colors
were used to communicate something rather than just being pretty. Ideally
items that were better (e.g. were compatible with older versions of a browser)
would have more visual weight than those that were worse. The less/sass and
tablet/desktop sections do it better, but the browser section is pretty
useless.
~~~
afshinmeh
Thanks for your suggestion, but can I know why you think the browsers
compatibility column is useless? Should I change it to something better?

Hytosys
I think he means that the browser compatibility column should take advantage
of color as well. Maybe more attractive/brighter colors could be
representative of frameworks that are compatible with older browsers.

Exactly. Browser compatibility is an important factor and is definitely
useful; it would just be nice if a quick glance could tell me whether a
particular framework was "more" or "less" compatible.

The original idea was compiling it to GLSL, but I got lazy. But it should be

It doesn't do constant folding or any smart optimizations, but it should be
pretty easy to code that in.

var tmp0 = (x - (1 / 2))
var tmp1 = (y - (1 / 2))
var tmp2 = ((1 / 2) - x)
var tmp3 = ((1 / 2) - y)
var tmp4 = ((1 - (tmp2 * tmp2)) * (1 - (tmp3 * tmp3)))
var tmp5 = (tmp4 * tmp4)
var tmp6 = (tmp5 * tmp5)
var tmp7 = (perlin(((Math.atan2((x - (1 / 2)), (y - (1 / 2))) + 6) * 8), (Math.sqrt(Math.sqrt(((tmp0 * tmp0) + (tmp1 * tmp1)))) * (8 * 2))) * (tmp6 * tmp6))
var tmp9 = (tmp7 + (tmp7 * tmp7))
var tmp11 = (tmp9 + (tmp9 * tmp9))
return (tmp11 + (tmp11 * tmp11))
function perlin(b,c){function g(b,c,a){a=a*a*a*(a*(6*a-15)+10);return(1-a)*b+a*c}function d(d,e){var a=2*(256*e+d);return(b-d)*gradient[a]+(c-e)*gradient[a+1]}b%=256;c%=256;var e=b&255,f=c&255,h=e+1&255,k=f+1&255,l=b-e,m=c-f;return g(g(d(e,f),d(h,f),l),g(d(e,k),d(h,k),l),m)};

For those who don't immediately understand (I hope I got that right):
\- the 'Try It' button disappears behind a text box if the browser window is
too narrow, making you unable to use the tool. (edited after hobs' reply)
\- 0 is black, 1 is white (and so is larger than 1).
\- if a,b is on top of the stack, then - pops b and a and puts (a-b) on the
stack
\- the value on top of the stack (after the entire string was processed by the
stack machine) will determine the final colour of the pixel
\- the algorithm runs for every pixel, that's why it's kinda slow

I am one of those people, because I see the examples and the text box but
nothing appears to occur when I use it or try any of the examples.

the button that I am supposed to click is hidden

The use of single digit constants is a bit strange. Why kot take the approach
of dc and let constant tokens be any string of digits, separated either by a

all tokens are separated by whitespace.

Lovely! It reminds me of some methods of generating images with genetic
programming, e.g. Karl Sims, [http://dahart.com](http://dahart.com), and
[http://picbreeder.org](http://picbreeder.org). The main difference being a
stack-based representation versus a tree-based one. Some people do use stack-
based genetic programming, so it would be fun to hook this up to one of those
systems and evolve textures.
One nice feature in the above strand of research is that the output value,
instead of being mapped to a greyscale, is mapped via a colour map to produce
colour images.
~~~
Lerc
if you provide a mapping function Stackie will generate colours too. It just
uses a grey mapper if none is provided.
You can provide your own function that takes a number and returns an ARGB
Int32, so for pretty flame you would just do.
f.generate(Stackie.program("x1x-*5*dx4**y3*p+y!-"));
var flame = f.getImageData(blackbody);

Since Stacky.program() just makes a function(x,y) I added a palette generator.
red is at y==0 green y=0.5 blue at y=1.0
so the palette program "x" generates a greyscale. "xy*" makes it orangy.

JS is ruthless.
It has no issue discarding an ENTIRE generation of programmer and 1000s of
man-hour to move itself forward. It does not sleep, like a eternal blackhole
it eats young men and spits out their heat at the other end.
JS is chaotic.
Just like nature, it is not uncomfortable in telling you the complexity that
is reality. Fighting it only results in broken dreams and tears. The best hope
is to find your small place and hope that the chaos doesn't someday destroy
you.
JS is War.
Created in the crucible of the young internet, it had to fight for its
survival as soon as the umbilical cord was cut. It existed in slumber while
the nations of python, ruby, PHP were destroying each other apart to get a
piece of land - in what is humanity's most empowering invention ever since the
printing press. JS was not part of the racket, it was too weak to participate
- only a nation of lesser mind. The lesser minds however represented large
segment of the hungered masses - students, artists. Like the white walkers
they came and waged a great war, the size of which so vast that the soldier's
fighting it are unaware like a - fish is unaware of water.
~~~
bartread
This is poetic, and somewhat funny, but also kind of nonsense.
The article pretty much nails it when it talks about choice of tools,
frameworks, and libraries being dictated by the kind of problem you want to
solve. For me, if I'm going to add another library or tool into the mix, it
has to be because it's adding some clear value to what I'm doing. If not, it
stays out.
Classic example: I have a games site I'm working on that uses lodash, and only
lodash (actually only a subset), because a key factor for me is keeping that
page weight down so people accessing the site via mobile on a capped data plan
and a laggy connection don't have to wait an age for the game to load because
I'm downloading 1MB of minified JavaScript libraries. That means that some
things I need to do are more work than they otherwise might be for me, but
that's OK because it's helping me hit my objectives.
All of that being said, whether you like it or not, "How it feels to learn
JavaScript in 2016," makes some valid points, and certainly captures that
feeling of being completely overwhelmed that I hadn't experienced with other
languages and ecosystems. You can substitute 2013 for 2016 and it exactly
resonates with the way I felt back then, when I returned to JavaScript after a
10+ year absence.
The maligned "snark" just goes with the territory. As far as I can see the
JavaScript community seems to thrive on upheaval and butthurt; it feels
professionally immature and full of easily bruised egos who want to be right
and don't give two hoots about the consequences of the willy-nilly reification
of their opinions. Just a couple of examples:

(sadly the commentary has gone from the original post on this one)
And the level of opinionation _is_ extreme. People love to talk about the
"right" way of doing things. And, "Oh you're still using X? You should be
using Y instead now." is a line I've been on the receiving end of quite a few
times now. It gets boring.
I'm fed up of "opinionated" frameworks and libraries and the people involved
in them talking about the "right" way of doing things as if it came down from
on high carved on stone tablets and isn't in fact just a bunch of stuff they
made up themselves. What I need are things that plug together easily to
deliver value and help solve a problem, with less of the sass(1).
_For me the interesting thing to be doing is building working software that
people will find valuable and actually use and, hopefully, enjoy doing so.
Languages, frameworks, and libraries are nothing more than a means to an end._

Bias: I don't like JavaScript.
I think this article is the perfect example of what is wrong with the
ecosystem.
It isn't that there are too many frameworks. I regularly choose between five
or six web frameworks in Python.
However, in Python, I've never had someone say that the framework was the
wrong tool.
The Flask community doesn't crusade that Bottle is bad. They are similar, and
have tried to work together, despite different philosophies.
The JS community seems to not just uphold a framework like React, they
practically worship it. Suggesting huge complicated things, for something as
simple as a HN site.
It isn't just, "Ooh! Shiny!"
It's "Idiot! Why didn't you use the shiny?"
This toxicity is barely under the surface, and is the shining influence of
those new developers who choose the language.
The ecosystem isn't the issue. The culture that promotes it, is.

I agree with the gist of this article. Choose the right tools for the job.
But as with anything, judgmental snark also goes both ways. The Javascript
ecosystem is more of a mess than other, similarly popular, language
ecosystems. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that. Although you're
right, a little less snark wouldn't hurt.

The only people who think that javascript and the javascript "ecosystem" is
anything other than an utter disaster seem to be those who've never used
anything else.

The one image that describes JavaScript perfectly:
[https://i.imgur.com/qPlBUp5.png](https://i.imgur.com/qPlBUp5.png)
Not much more needs to be said, It amazes me that there are people that
actually think JavaScript is an "important" language, It's an archaic mess
that has simply been polished over and made to look shiny(as the article
states).
If you polish a dirty shoe, It's just a dirty shoe that's shiny.

This image is absolutely ridiculous.
Problem: JavaScript won't run outside browser.
Solution: V8 (V8 was built for Chrome, btw, NodeJS is what took V8 outside of the browser)
Problem: JavaScript is single threaded by design. (This isn't a problem, you even said BY DESIGN)
Solution: Asynchronous programming. (This is a solution that literally allowed applications running on 20-30 machines to drop to 2 machines and still see over an order of magnitude performance improvements).
Problem: Callback hell. (Callback hell is NOT the way any reasonable Node developer programs. Promises are completely sensible to reason through).
Solution: Compile to better language (Promises are native)
I don't know how many times I have to post this, but this is what good Node
code looks like.
function doComplexAsyncTask() {
return Promise.join(
doParallelAsyncTask1(),
doParallelAsyncTask2(),
doParallelAsyncTask3()
)
.spread((result1, result2, result3) => {
let combo = doSomething(result1, result2, result3);
return saveComboToDBAsync(combo);
})
.then(result => doSomethingElseAsync(result))
.catch(err => handleError(err));
}
And that's an overly complicated example. And then from anywhere else in the
code you can call
doComplexAsyncTask()
.then(result => doSomethingWithResultAsync(result));
There is no callback hell. The error handling is trivial. Doing parallel tasks
is trivial. And that "single threaded" issue is not an issue. The moment
parallel tasks1, 2, and 3 START, your application is already serving the next
request. There is 100% CPU availability for every single thread, not a single
moment is wasted blocking. And if you're running on a multi-core machine, you
use node clustering to get 100% CPU usage of all of the cores.
People do just regurgitate the same nonsense over and over.

I agree with the message of the article.
It can be daunting to start out. I think the problem is not following the fad
and do your own research into what solves your problem.
I felt the same way when I started. So I documented every step I took and I
can say with confidence I am comfortable in the JavaScript universe.
If you are interested in how I learned it you can follow me here:

_I am comfortable in the JavaScript universe._
Are you comfortable in _the_ JavaScript universe or in _your_ JavaScript
universe?
While I'm reasonably comfortable writing JavaScript on my projects, I feel
that if I where to walk onto a random JavaScript team I'd have no idea what
was going on and equally if a random developer where to pick up my JavaScript
project the first thing they would do would be to re-write everything to
conform to their 'universe'.

Javascript is not just JavaScript. It is HTML, CSS and JavaScript. And all
three are evolving at a rapid pace. The tools and frameworks need to evolve
too.

Indeed. Seems to be as is for programming patterns; it needs to solve one or
more problems.

Interesting how Google tried to downplay the "patent battle" and purchased so
many patents on the next day. Just amusing, I guess.
