> How does this replace a Git web interface, though?

It doesn't. And it shouldn't.

I don't need code browsing on my SMB repo because, well, I'm the only one working on it. And even if I weren't, it'd be kinda fine anyways. I don't have the extra layer of security, but I don't need that either: I already need credentials to connect to my SMB share.

PRs - well, single project. It's just for me, so merging my own feature branches seems fine.

Issues are indeed an "issue". I simply track them in a markdown file. Whatever floats your boat should be fine, though. Combined, for me personally, it works better than managing a platform I don't really need.
> There are people out there writing Python just as bad as what you think of as bad PHP.

By that logic: there are people "out there" jamming pencils up their noses, therefore a shovel is just as good a writing implement as a pencil..
A lot of people here define ADD differently, they say it's this or it's that. But the truth is ADD will manifest differently for each person. The core characteristic is being chronically understimulated. People with ADD have difficulty focussing on things that aren't very stimulating for them. They will still be able to focus, sometimes very intensely (hyperfocus) on things that do stimulate them. Sometimes there is hyperactivity (an attempt to stimulate themselves) involved, but not always.

It's very real and stimulant medication, although it's not perfect, helps a lot of people.
It’s a nightmare when dealing with doctors.

Another example, Benadryl makes me insanely hyper. One of my kids is same way.

Telling a doctor results in being labeled a liar.

At least a dozen medications that I respond in weird ways to.

Your comment is disingenuous. Facebook has been around for nearly two decades. There's plenty of time there for people to make mistakes and try to fix them. Unfortunately they're competing with their contacts who re-add those same mistakes and also competing with Facebook's own incentives to not delete data.

It'll be fun if/when any of these numbers can prove they requested Facebook to delete their data under GDPR.
Great Innovative project.

Enthusiast communities are probably not the most objective group of folks, so I'd take what they have to say with a grain of salt.
This assumes that the world will continue on a “growth at all cost” model. Despite growing social inequality, and climate change, which seem to be at odds with a greed is good ethos that expands corporate profits at the cost of the environment and social stability.

This isn’t even mentioning the current market manipulation that central banks are engaging in around the globe to artificially inflate the value of stocks. What happens when we can no longer prop up equities? The consequences may be far worst as we’ve been effectively kicking the can down the road. Eventually the tab arrives and the people left with it will be those who hardly benefited from this historic run-up.

Several people have told me that one needs to sell him/her self to get a foot in the door. I have always and will always believe in being open from the very start. It's a time saver.

I fall short when comparing myself to the working experience others have. However, I am a hard worker when I enjoy the working environment and the product. I don't believe that something can not be done. When someone says it can't be done, that's when I excel, taking an interest in trying to find a solution despite not having any knowledge in the problem domain.

I recently got my BA in Psychology and have been learning to program in Python for the sheer joy it brings.

I'm a "slow thinker" and a late bloomer, in need of an opportunity.

> At first Oculus seemed like a cool idea, but you can really only play "simulator" games with it, games where you sit in a vehicle otherwise it ruins the VR feel and you might as well just play on a monitor.

Check out castAR which you might consider an "inside out" VR experience that projects the virtual world into the real world. Thus you can walk around and look at 3D objects from all sides, see other players, your coffee, or whatever is in the real world, instead of the VR approach of sitting in one place looking around. So it's a way of working you can't do with a monitor.

(CastAR can run regular VR apps too with a small adaptor, but that feels less compelling than the mixed/augmented reality)

> Having an illness is a full time job. And my boss is an asshole.

This is exactly true in my experience. When I was sick (very treatable form of cancer) I was always exhausted. I've never been that tired before or since. Concentrating on anything work-related was a huge challenge, and I'm grateful that my employer at the time was able to accommodate me.
I am skeptical that there really are good HR people out there who are capable of being effective in a startup environment. I think that's why startups so often don't hire any until it's too late.
I know what unit libraries are, and why they can be useful. There are several units libraries for Python, the Boost C++ library includes one, etc.

I don't know why they should be a 'requirement for most datatypes'. Could someone please explain the requirement part?

As a further clarification, why should people in scientific computing, in fields which use non-SI units like eV, amu, Angstrom, barn, light year, and megaparsec, use a programming language which requires SI units? Quasar 3C 273 is 749 megaparsecs from us, or 2.31E25 meters away. I don't see why SI should be preferred.
I didn't see that post originally. I saw the 'follow up' where one of the writers complained about getting abuse on twitter. That's obviously wrong but I find it hard to have sympathy for someone who attacks someone who innocent1y made a mistake and then cried as they apologies on camera. It seems that on the internet it's no longer possible naively do something wrong (and I would argue there was nothing wrong with him wearing that shirt), apologize, and move on. Writers who want to get clicks will try to drum up rage anyway and won't let anyone move on.

If you do not have a Unix machine, thanks to virtualization they are now easy to set up without risking a heart attack in a normal user:

Just fire up a VirtualBox, and install Ubuntu in there. The hardest part about a Linux installation is most often the partitioning--but you can just use the whole virtual disk.

Or you just download a pre-installed image of a VM.

Mastercard is a payment support platform. They take the burden off of the business owners and let them focus on their business instead of the minutia of interfacing with the financial system. That doesn't go away with cryptocurrencies. In fact it might be more needed than ever as there are now multiple payment networks with lots of intricacies such as coin storage, keeping track of transactions for taxes, etc.

Visa and Mastercard are likely still going to be important in the future just for the sheer fact that business owners will take at least a decade to update their backend stack to be sophisticated enough to handle the various payment APIs, UX problems, etc that crypto brings. With Visa and Mastercard your existing PoS terminals still work (now with crypto) and you can continue focusing on selling books or groceries or whatever else you do instead of being a financial systems engineer.

> Over a billion people use Apple products

That is not true. There are only 1.5 billion active Apple devices. I myself own 4 of those. Everyone else I know that has an Apple device also has multiple. I'm pretty sure the average Apple customer owns more than 1.5 devices. Thus there can't be over a billion of these people.
Its not MLM its network effects. Every node added to a transactional network adds real world value to that network. Its etreamly evident in telephone networks.

The reason people would want to buy bitcoin once it has grown out of its speculation is the vast marketplace of people and vendors who accept bitcoin as tender + the use of bitcoin as a hedge against the inflation of your local fiat currency.

It becomes another investment vehicle to diversify with.
If you can bundle a static or shared library that have a common api where you can link and build your platform over,
where the dev will know what composition HTML, CSS, JS works without having to resort to a common denominator in contradiction to your point of view, i don't think is the best approach.

It will give more burden to the platform developer and to the developer, having to work with less features and unable to follow more experimental technologies.

> it shares the system browser engine keeping memory usage down

The problem with high memory pressure have nothing to do with sharing a DSO or not, as this is a per process issue, the problem is that with the multi-process architecture, each renderer process have its own WebKit and V8+Node heap instances that need to deal with tons of javascript, resources and the bloat that comes with modern platforms like React, compiling Typescript on the fly or loading big WASM binaries.

I mean, the web standard is too complicated now, and theres a need for companies who can afford thousands (expensive) man-hour just to keep up.

Which leads to the reality of most browsers engines not being able to follow and becoming outdated in the near future.

Which means that shipping a "killer app" in such platform, like Visual Studio, will be harder than platforms like Electron, that giving its direct use of V8 can also have a "batteries included" platform by shipping together with NodeJs.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Sounds like an easy way to develop horrible documentation-free, semi-functional systems.

Same, my CI has looked like this for years now:

It's worked in virtually every CI system, and locally. Bonus point, it really points out the amount of ceremony some CI platforms require to map simple commands into their pipelines. Looking at you, CircleCI.

I don't understand. Either we're not properly measuring merit, in which case you may have a point, or selecting random people will reduce the competence of the boards.

Of course, if we're not good at selecting competent people, one might argue that we should address that issue, instead of substituting the goal of competence for the goal of fairness. Who knows, we could even focus on properly training a more diverse set of people in addition to making things more meritocratic...

I really don't understand your reasoning, here. I'm at a complete loss.
Which Telescope did you end up getting?
What you are expected to do with Cassandra, to achieve your horizontal scalability, is (a) denormalize by each supported query up front, and (b) fan out all of those (often by time) so they never get too big.

So for your "primary" data store for a type data, you might use the date for the partition key. Then if you do a lot of day-of-week queries, you'd store a second copy grouped by year-month-weekday, and query as many months as you need, and combine them. If you are collecting data for several sites, have a copy that's stored by year-month-weekday-site. And set up your software so it's easy to say "write in these 5 places, keyed off this combination of values." And because it's in all these denormalized places, you can forget updating anything atomically. So you go to append-only mode and if you have an "update" you record that as a separate entry after the first and your application's understanding of the data store includes coalescing the events and applying the update. (Maybe if you need it you have a separate process coalescing updates after the fact, but in the background, non-critical-like.)

And you're right. This is very much not SQL. It's also super obnoxious and support for it in extant frameworks is pretty minimal (they tend to be rather myopically SQL-oriented, ill suited to take advantage of this model). It also uses lots of storage, on the premise that disk is cheap. But what all this accomplishes is crazy horizontal scalability, and when you make any one query, then all the data is right there on disk lined up neatly, so it all gets streamed out in a predictable amount of time. For a few select applications, this consistent scalability is worth the pain.
Interesting perspective on "raising too little". I was previously unaware that all bootstrapped companies fail.
Oracle has to acquire companies. It's the only way it manages to grow its revenue. As far as it's core products go, it already sells licenses to almost all the Fortune 500's. If you're selling to everyone it's tough to find new customers... Oracle doesn't sell to the small guys
Or, more accurately, this is the solution, very different from sIFR or image replacement. It’s how every sane person would expect webfonts to work (plus a few weird quirks you have to know about).

It’s relatively simple to do on your own and solutions like Google’s Font Directory or Typekit make it even easier.

This problem will probably get fixed soon. To get an idea of things that Nicholas (the language author) is working on, you can keep tabs on this page:

http://haxe.org/com/features
(e.g. optional structure types)

There are still a few kinks in the generics as well, more complex (but common) method signatures won't work, like this one:

class GenericMap {
static public function map <A, B, C:IFold<A>, D:(ICreateEmpty<B>, IAdd<B>) > ( c : C, f : A -> B ) : D
return c.fold( createEmpty(), function(a,d) return d.add(a) )
}

The haxe compiler is geared to be very quick, and I'm assuming recursive structural subtyping and complex generics might make things too slow.

The compiler is intimately integrated into most haxe workflows... it is used not only for compilation, but it also plays a key role in providing automatic field completions.

"We really want to get the gps data from his last text message, but it's been extremely difficult getting this from the cell phone company."

The phone company is unlikely to give that information to anyone except the police or other government agency - if a random person asks for it, they have no way of knowing whether their intentions are good or bad.

Have you filed a missing person report with the local police? If so, you could tell the police about the last text you received from your friend, and they might be able to get information from the phone company that they could forward to the Mexican authorities who are conducting the search.

I hope your friend is OK.
Google’s statement is, in my opinion, disingenuous.

Including personal information on your work calendar without using privacy controls is pretty bad practice, though obviously some people occasionally did it. There is no indication that this information was a target of the fired employees. There is also no indication that these personal events were included in screenshots “outside the company”. And that phrase encompasses a wide range of possibilities, I suspect that Google made it so general because the specifics would have sounded more benign.

The statement in general is designed to cast the four in the worst possible light.
> What's really needed is a standard GUI markup language (SGML)

What's wrong with HTML? Isn't it already everywhere, including in all browsers?

> HTML browser makers usually don't care if they break a particular JavaScript library by adding or tweaking features.

HTML and JS are two different languages. One is a markup language, the other a scripting language. If changes to the markup language break a library in the scripting one, its clearly the library that needs fixing. Expecting browser makers to somehow keep their HTML engines backward compatible with JS libraries isn't really realistic or practical.
Agreed. Some studies link climate change as the trigger of famine/conflicts that lead to the Arab Springs [1].

Those events also generated few millions refugees and, here in Europe, we are already unable to act. I can see that when this phenomenon will get 100s or 1000s time more severe wars will be fought for securing food/land (IMHO likely it will happen in south-east Asia at some point [2]).

Don’t see how that would make sense. Comparing the emissions of China vs that of Iceland just doesn’t make sense.

We can talk about total global emissions, but then bring it down to the total per capita contribution per country. e.g. China has 20% of the worlds population so are “allowed” 20% of the worlds total emissions.
