Please, don't Apple. A Mac is a different device with a very very very different user interface - in the sense of how users are interfacing with it. I don't need ANY of the UIKit interface elements on my Mac. It's like Write

Did you just compare running a fully fledged server application framework with a simple Go and Python server? What was the point here?

Downvoting for stating facts on postings about Nuclear is HNs standard modus operandi. I wish more people on HN had lived through Chernobyl. They wouldn't lap up the cool-aid quite as enthusiastically then.

No one makes the case burning fossil fuels is better. Renewables are cheap enough and practical enough to end all this.

" It is too bad the broad public perceives nuclear as a 'risky' energy source. It is in fact the safest energy source we have ever developed, in terms of deaths per kilowatt hour." And there goes the misinformation campa

Site is incomplete. Misses out on whole categories of software classified as AI (like Cognitive Computing with approaches like associative memory). Sad.

It is still a bit shocking to see how many people are not getting the distinction between an API and a RESTful service. They are very different things and they have very different goals. The hint is in: how much do you value the client? If

This was an awesome awesome game. Unimaginable how I played that for so many hours on such a tiny tiny screen :)

It's called a browser.

by beders 10y ago
People often don't make a crucial distinction: Are you developing an API that happens to be accessible via HTTP or are you developing a Web Service. For an API where you control both the server and the client, you don't need to us

OS/2 was pretty advanced back in the day. Something like System Object Model is still nowhere to be seen on modern desktops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System_Object_Model Instead we are now at distributing

Using a document description language for general application development is and remains INSANE. The browser is an atrocious, non-sensical platform that was invented to display Hypertext, not to run apps. Now look what we got? 5 new JS fram

Stop looking at nuclear. (Maybe read up on the nuclear disasters so far and think about that when they install a nuclear power plant in your neighborhood...) Also, again, why bother? https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles&

Renewables is the way to go. No waste problem, vastly reduced risk. Why bother with this?

by beders 10y ago
Requiring 'traditional' reactors for baseline is a myth. Renewables work just fine.

Are you concerned about the acreage? Luckily there is a report for you out there that looked at the potential for solar energy in the US. In short, it is about 1000x higher than what would be required to provide the US with power.

Why? This is pure lobbyism. There is a cheaper, safer and abundant alternative. Solar energy. Just do it already.

Baloney. Unless the form factor improves significantly, this will disappear again quickly. AR has a much much better shot at mass market adoption.

Unless you live 15 miles away from it. There's no succeeding with nuclear.

Just to remind the nuclear fans here: cost of Chernobyl: estimated around 201b euros, cost of lives: between 4000 and several hundred thousands indirectly, the area is a radioactive wasteland for centuries to come, the reactor still needs a

The Java/C# as you wrote it doesn't just solve 'find the area of a square', but a whole set of other things. A more idiomatic version would be: Square.calculateArea(double s) { return s*s; } That said: One often
