Re:How Eve unifies your entire programming stack on Monday November 21, 2016 @10:35PM (#13011416)
Not sure why I was flagged. Any ideas? Seems excessively narrow minded on the part of those who did the flagging.

Anyways... I see there is a tier missing between the consumer of such model and Eve. That tier is of the Assemblers (a light version of the traditional "Developer") who will take requirements to modify an Eve app to the liking of the given consumer. They (the Assembler)( could also put out different versions of the app that fit the most requested use cases.

I think the thing that the Eve developers are missing (from their mental model) is that the "essential complexity" of a given task is irreducible and is often more than someone who is not an algorithmic thinker can handle. This is different than the "incidental complexity" which Eve might reduce greatly.

Why don't you just make that app for iOS/Android and let food truck owners download it? I know that is a useless thing to suggest given your intent but I think it's equally useless for food truck owners to want to build their own app. There must be a better range of use cases.

You are making the article the point of the discussion here. The point of the discussion is your racist attitude that you display plenty here by asserting that discrimination based on race is not racism. LOL. Grow up.
Re:You Are Still Crying Wolf on Thursday November 17, 2016 @11:19AM (#12978747)
I think you are missing the bigger point that racist campaign promises weren't a deal breaker for people who voted for him, so just as most Germans in WW2 didn't think they're racist they voted in Hitler and the majority of them did nothing to stop the extermination of the Jewish people in Germany and across Europe. They didn't think of themselves as racist. There you go I simplified the moral equation for you.

A registry for muslims is being pushed by the Trump transition team. So how much are we willing to re-contextualize? Until they've gone after every minority group? Irish, Jews, Italians? No, you don't think?

It is against all principles that America is founded on. It is utter bigotry and yet it is happening.

Not renting apartments to black people is not racist? Proposing a ban on Muslims is not racist? Fear mongering about Mexican immigrants is not racist? Assigning strategic roles in his new admin to the likes of Bannan and Horowitz is not racist? Also, he's got 400 lawsuits against him including the fraudulent Trump University. That last point does not add to his racist credentials but surely it does undermine the notion that he has any moral standing by being a "businessman from New York"

Re:Do you really want a single-page application framework? on Tuesday November 15, 2016 @03:33AM (#12956502)
No, we can't all agree that Angular 1 served us well. Terrible architecture IMO. Used it on one small project (just to be open minded) and never touched it again. React, on the other hand, is well founded, but has its own flaws, as does everything. Nothing is truly stellar.

Palantir, one of Thiel's companies, will now be able to embed itself even deeper in the surveillance state. It's what Trump needs to "get even" with people who make fun of him or oppose him.

Re:Async/await support in Firefox on Wednesday November 02, 2016 @10:12PM (#12861069)
Single threaded concurrency is not the same as synchronous/sequential execition. You and TC39 folks are telling us that mixing sync and async behavior in the same cognitive space is good? Amazing. Async handling should be in its own cognitive space.
Re:Async/await support in Firefox on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @11:03PM (#12851963)
Why would we want to mix async and sync behavior in one cognitive space? That seems counter evolutionary.
Re:WebAssembly Browser Preview on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @02:23PM (#12848756)
Just like with the very late and crippled intro of webgl support in iOS Safari they are aftaid that WASM apps and especially games wriiten for WASM (e.g Rust has a WASM target now) will compete with the native apps/games, taking a chunk of AppStore revenue with it

HN ranking is a stupid algorithm (not simply "dumb" but demonstrably stupid) Also, for a site that promotes new startups and technologies etc outsourcing censorship to the crowd promotes majority-approved views, which is, once again, stupid, not simply dumb.
Re:Mixcrate shuts down on Sunday October 23, 2016 @12:02AM (#12771870)
Wait a second... Why don't we have completely anonymous companies whose technology/app cannot be shutdown (at least not by armies of lawyers) -- Is there such a thing?
D-Wave does that with supposedly quantum version of 'spin glass' model, a generalization of the Ising model.

Re:Why we chose Vue.js on Friday October 21, 2016 @02:37AM (#12758569)
Building something fast is a radically different proposition than being able to maintain it with ease. React is mostly aimed at the latter while VueJS at the former. There is no comparison.
You're thinking too hard.
Re:Educating towards a circular economy on Tuesday October 18, 2016 @11:23AM (#12735351)
Garbage Tax. There should be a Garbage Tax on all manufacturers, distributors and resellers of non-recyclable/non-bio-degradable/non-bio-consumable products. We're all paying for the externalized cost of waste management but the ones who should be paying for it (and penalized for it) are the one who are profiting from it (all those who manufacture, distribute and sell non-reusable products that externalize the waste management cost to the rest of us)

You're being ludicrous. A million startups can be founded by pathological pu$$y grabing liars but that does not make them the next Google. Does Monsanto have pathological liars at the top, sure but they're not Google. To be Google you're head has to be screwed on right.
Re:Peter Thiel, YC, and hard decisions on Monday October 17, 2016 @04:29PM (#12729393)
You cannot be in a startup that is the next Google and be a supporter of someone who is a proven pathological liar and pu$$y grabbing sexual predator. That simply defies logic, if not the rules of common decency, and you need to be good at logic to be Google, or anyone (other than Trump)

Pyret looks like a good endeavor.

Another dumb question: doesn't every recursive function have an iterative version? and in the case where you're transpiling to JS couldn't 'map' (whatever the syntax in Pyret) and other functional primitives be converted to imperative code? Generator functions are no different than regular functions when it comes to stack depth. I think that depends on the amount of memory you have, so different from machine to machine. I'm learning by asking dumb questions... :)

Re:React Implementation Notes on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @12:11PM (#12685736)
Ah! You're right. Now I get what you mean. Thanks.
Re:React Implementation Notes on Tuesday October 11, 2016 @10:27AM (#12684632)
<<So to use generators as a compilation target, every function has to be a generator>>

Sure, but in those cases the functions are transpiled to JS so it doesn't really matter, not like they're coded by hand, right...? I think I understand what you mean.
