If you want an open-source text editor based on Node.js, Light Table might interest you.

(Light Table itself is written in ClojureScript, which is a bit idiosyncratic, but it's hardly worse than Elisp, and anyway you can write plugins in normal JavaScript.)
Awful to say but I think there's truth to this. Maybe people will respond more properly when their politicians move to defund important services.
There's a difference between leading with ideas and such and executing well. The latter is more important in a crisis.
> GTK3 are... to be avoided for new projects / dead?

Despite rooting for GTK, I think this is where it is going.

A lot of criticism as of late was that GTK is turning from a Gimp ToolKit into a Gnome ToolKit, and you can see how dramatic was the drop in mindshare has been since that trend started.

Just like Gnome didn't really survive the 3.0 transition because the project been really stolen by thew few people who force fed Gnome Shell onto the wider community, the GTK did not survive the transition from GimpTK to GnomeTK.
Doesn't this put into question the whole premise that China had defeated the Covid-19 and things are beginning to come to normal?

The lockdown is in effect and the moment it's taken down, we'll see a second wave. No?
Isn't that exactly what unhammer is demonstrating?

I don't know about a general survey of (western) countries, but I would guess yes.

As one datapoint, the Netherlands indeed has this: PDOK[1] is a cooperation between the agency that collects building/plot plans (Kadaster), ministry of internal affairs, ministry of economics and climate, the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat), and some non-profit called Geonovum. Very few people know of it aside from openstreetmap contributors, since we can get some data from there (not all of it is license-compatible, but things like addresses and buildings are imported), but it's quite comprehensive and has interesting maps like noise levels alongside major roads.

The EU has the INSPIRE project[2], though it's not exactly a map so much as a link to various maps of the member states and agreeing on some common standard to make sure they work when combined.

Fair enough. I guess the idea that a disease which had exploded in the way it did in China could ever possibly be contained doesn't really make sense to me, but maybe you don't live in a place with a lot of asian immigrants. I'm on the west coast of the U.S. and there are just huge numbers of asian immigrants here. There's just no feasible way a disease in China could somehow not make its way here. Way too many flights and way too many people here with connections to China.
I run a previous-generation 2990WX (320W TDP) and the largest Noctua air cooler is easily sufficient at a low fan speed. If it's in your garage and you don't care about fan speed, you should be able just to blast the fans faster and have a well-ventilated case before resorting to water cooling.

The cores start to throttle at 70C, which is far hotter than even the hottest garage.
They are still very young.

But from my own childhood I can remember that kids are not subtle - if they are mocking you, you will know (names, finger-pointing, jokes, etc.). Whereas if a friend laughs with you about a silly fall, you get a completely different kind of scenario played out.

Coming back to your initial point, and being blunt: showing your children that clumsy falls can be funny, and not to panic about them, does not increase their cruelty towards other kids.
I know some people, who parasite on the system, by leveraging systemic knowledge via the stock market. Never really contributed anything of value in their whole life - whole systems of parasites with parasites on top.
For well over 12 months, the Model S Owners Manual (p. 40) and the Model X owners Manual recite, "When you finish speaking the command, tap the voice button again or simply wait."

Neither of my Teslas operate in the manner described in the manual since late 2019. If Tesla's manual writers can't communicate with the software developers -- is there anything in the manual you can trust? Can we always count on Tesla to arbitrarily loose functionality without anyone telling their manual authors?

Anyway, I gave up telling Tesla about this problem (in multiple iterations of the manuals), and reported it to the NHTSA https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/VehicleComplaint/
TIL Zimbabwe, Ecuador, El Salvador, Palau, East Timor and the British Virgin Islands are all "basically US colonies".

What about countries that don't use the dollar as currency directly, but keep a fixed exchange rate to the dollar - they would be paying the unseen tax of inflation too, right? With a fixed exchange rate if the dollar value falls, so will the value of their currency. So that would mean Hong Kong, Cuba, Jordan and the Netherlands are all "basically US colonies" too. (China may be kind of surprised about that first one.)

Does this work for other currencies, or just $USD? Are Martinique, Andorra, Montenegro and Kosovo "basically EU colonies"? - they all use the Euro as currency, but are not part of either the EU or the EEA.

We don't actually have to hypothesize about what would happen if an unstable economy switched everything over to dollars (or Euros), either directly or by exchange rate peg, because it has already happened, many times.

Once The UK lifts the Swiss share trading ban (due to EU restrictions) I can see this 'trend' reversing pretty quickly. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-09/u-k-to-li...

It remains the case that the 4 most competitive financial centres in Europe aren't in the EU (Global Financial Centres Index). That's likely to continue once London and Zurich form closer ties.
*Current revenues of $450M a year. However, $28B for revenues of $5b a year, 10 years out? Undervalued with ZIRP.
So, we need to see loan-forgiveness for businesses then?

Trying to figure out how you unwind it slowly when apparently "slowing raising rates" still destroys many businesses with a lot of debt...
The article mentions saas. So instead of a single multi tenant db, you might have a sqlite for each customer? Maybe even copy it down to the client? I have a idea for a media cms, wondering if this design would fit.

One drawback I can think of is it would be difficult to create reports, cross customer.
All my coworkers are bilingual; if I spoke better Chinese, it would only get me some platitudes. It is my skills that add value to the team, not speaking Chinese doesn't detract from it (also, I work for an American company, so our biz language is English).

I would disagree a bit about what makes us different, or what Chinese can't do well. Creative independent smart local hires or experienced international savvy local hire managers exist, but there are not so many of them yet (the supply is not well developed), so why not bring in a foreigner who is easier to find? After that, diversity is still important; something we take for granted in the states.
> it very quickly devolves into a situation where two players have a decent chance to win, everyone else is royally screwed, and the game still has about an hour to go.

In that situation you can play the two big players off against each other. Offer a deal with Big Player 1 that benefits you (e.g. allowing you to get a group) and tell him that if he refuses, you'll sell all your assets to Big Player 2 for $1.
What I did was epoxied the Square reader onto a keyring. That way I don't need to think about remembering it.
As currently designed, the system has an absolute cap at ~21 million coins.
Really? Someone who said 'Gee-numeric', or who just assumed the 'G' is silent, would get the gist of it.
Why is it horrendous? The string is concise, unambiguous, and works when you put it in the location bar. Including the scheme makes sense only when there is a risk of ambiguity, and even Tim Berners-Lee admits that exposing such a technical detail to users wasn't the best design decision.
for me the question is still, what problems is this causing? slow db queries can easily be isolated and unless they have done something like every write to the database creates an object which then gets converted to a sql transaction, function names can be fixed with global search and replace. Not sure what you mean by MVC is not correctly implemented
tl;dr : 'Ideas suck unless they evolve into a vision.'

I thought it was pretty good article, myself. I especially liked this bit: "In terms of traits, a vision is more similar to love than lust. It takes time to achieve a vision, it’s something you nurture, something that you grow into more and more each day and the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. A vision is something that you spend every waking minute thinking about. Something that is so ridiculously complex that it becomes beautifully elegant. Simplified. Real. A vision will give you the foundation for genuine confidence, hope and expectation."
Because the convenience is worth the minimal fee? If I'm already paying $30 for dinner, the extra 82 cents doesn't really bother me.
No Go isn't a systems language because for one you don't have direct control over memory if you need it. For instance Go doesn't even have the volatile keyword which is essential in many cases when interfacing with hardware. The paper you linked laments this as well.
Thank you. The video is exemplary. Fascinating concept, very well constructed and thought-through. Please, make more!

I would be very keen to read an essay on the same subject too. I'd also like to write one, although I suspect my attempt might not be to the same standard.
One aspect of Uber that I think is missed as key, is not necessarily sharing, they are offering an existing service, a taxi service. It was there before, you share a taxi, you don't own it. What they did here is to take a very old industry and, well, disrupt it. They make it look elegant (home page looks like a fashion site), easy to use, rating of drivers makes sure quality is high, and no need to tip is a big thing, I hate when taxi drivers complain that I only left 15% and not 20% as if it's mandatory.

Uber make the Taxi service better, more modern, that's all, and it's good enough.

The next Uber IMHO will do the same for another service, any other service, that things like getting your service provider's photo in advance, following their arrival on GPS, no need for cash or credit cards due to a one click payment, known and final quote and pricing, and ability to rate them without the need to answer a recorded phone call with 10 questions, will have value to customers.

Any service that follows this, sharing drills or not, will have a good chance of making it big IMHO.
Django has an ORM that works with Postgre, MySQL, and other relational databases. Neo4django mimics the Django ORM, but connects to a graph database- Neo4j. It's a way to use Django with Neo4j, while supporting Django nice-to-haves like the auth library and admin site, in a way that's already familiar to Django developers.
You & the parent comment both offer great points. When looking at them together, along with the OP's article & many others on the "sharing economy", you see there still remains great opportunity & challenges in the almost inevitable "Sharing Economy"
I've done a couple of interviews recently for a C++ developer role, none had GitHub pages. It didn't negatively effect them, they were rated on their strengths from their CV's, interview and a take home programming task but I'd have loved to have seen at least one repo of work.

You don't necessarily need to be using GitHub to produce OSS to the level of something like Rails, but even a micro library would have awesome. It gives you just a little bit more data to look at when you're considering options.
I also did that and I got a job with it too. Fancy that.
For reference, here's my article claiming the opposite: http://code.dblock.org/github-is-your-new-resume
That presumes that either (a) they have time to spend doing substantial work with open source outside of their day job and other obligations, or (b) they have a day job which allows them both the time and the regulatory freedom to contribute to open source. For many programmers with the desire to contribute to open source and substantial work experience, this is not the case.
There are a bunch of 2ascii utils, no idea what the author used but https://github.com/alexvking/png2ascii
My impression was that npm does little more than fetch code from the Web and stick it in a 'node_modules' directory. I've even seen npm used for things that aren't even JS, just bunch of files.

This approach ends up with multiple, potentially-incompatible versions of the same package in a project. True that's less of a problem in JS, since it's interpreted (deferring imports to runtime) and un(i)typed (no need to check if interfaces match up). Yet even that has lead to replacements/complements like yarn.
Opera Mini doesn't just compress web pages. They run Presto (their OG web engine) headless on the backend, pre-render the pages, and push THAT to the device. It doesn't just conserve bandwidth but also the CPU power.
No it's not. Both because courts don't always give you costs, and because even when they do award costs, actually collecting is tough, and finally, because courts don't always award the full amount of your costs.

Source: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/attorney-fees-does-l...

"To further this goal, the losing side doesn’t usually pay the winning side's attorney's fees. In the United States, the rule (called the American Rule) is that each party pays only their own attorneys' fees, regardless of whether they win or lose."

US courts can award costs, and they do in many circumstances. But it is not automatic by any means. Even in countries where costs are awarded automatically, actually collecting on those costs is difficult - I personally know people who have successfully defended themselves and are in exactly this situation in the EU.
I block ads because advertisers/networks don't respect the do not track flag. I don't want to block ads, but I value my right to privacy more than I value your right to monetize my eyeballs. If the ad companies played in good faith, then I wouldn't have to circumvent them.
Didn't even know those exist. Talk about failed marketing.
Cool! I was watching "Big Giant Swords" on the Discovery channel (a fantastic show) and they touched on competitive sword fighting last week. After seeing this, the whole thing makes a lot more sense.
Ruby is just not attracting the attention and crowdfare it used to. Engine Yard used to be Ruby only (and supported JRuby and Rubinus ...) and has since added more languages as Ruby is not the beginning nor the end.

That isn't saying Ruby is dying; just there is competition and sometimes it's hard to compete.
Palo alto is highly regarded among the firewalls.
And even for applications that try to emulate Emacs, they all emulate default Emacs, not your Emacs setup.
I am considering buying Intellij IDEA ultimate. Been testing pycharm Pro, and docker integration for specific OS settings, remote debugging, refactoring tools such as method extraction, package conversion, and terraform integration is a breeze.

Any way I could set such an environment up in emacs?
So because I have to pay to get into a public park or reserve, it's suddenly not "really" public?
I’m sorry it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that Hunter Biden’s board seat at Burisma had nothing to do with his personal qualifications and everything to do with his father. Whether or not Biden senior ultimately did anything unethical is absolutely unknown/unproven, but stinks to high heaven and it’s completely disingenuous to suggest otherwise. (To be clear in no way does this condone the current administrations actions around this matter)
I am reminding myself to be a little critical of this future domain of psychadelics used as mood stabilizers for the masses.

While human history is rich with tales of alchemy and mind altering substances, the usage was often ritualised and functioning in a "sacred" or communal context.

I personally experimented with some of these substances, and i intuitively see them as a potential great leap forward compared to the potential horror of opiates, benzodiazepines or life long SSRI use - but i also feel a vague dark undercurrent running through this newfound mainstream appreciation of psychedelics just as Mindfulness has become a utility or a tool removed from its context or even it's original meaning whatever that may be.

My own struggle with living a healthy life in 21. century "technocapitalist society" or whatever has led me to believe that most depression is not "just a chemical imbalance", "a lack of appreciation or gratitude" or a "lazy mindset" - instead depression is _often not always_ closer to an evolutionary mechanism telling you that "something is wrong" and you need to take radical steps to remove yourself from X situation whether it be social, about lifestyle or about geographic location - the opposite can also be true, that you need to be accepted by a tribe, reach out for guidance or establish new relationships.

Modern humans are in general pretty lonely, skin hungry, lack communal connection, touch, intimacy, a good proper diet, connection with nature, meaning/spirituality in a social context, have bad posture, are stressed out, have horrible sleep patterns etc. compared to our evolutionary blueprint or just compared to the societies of a few decades ago - without romanticising too much.

In other words; it's not weird that people are depressed in this day and age spending so much time inside, not being close to friends / family, not moving about enough . And i am not convinced that mainstream palliative care is sufficient or even the right approach the problem. It's about restructuring local community, our cities and our daily lives.

Anyway i currently se this as being very promising, and a am still endlessly fascinated by the philosophy and science of consciousness, meditative praxis and psychedelics, so i am not against that aspect but critical of the utilitarian mindset behind this type of use.

EDIT: I can see that i receive quite a lot of downvotes. Can anyone elaborate?
To be fair, his use case was/is for writing very simple things (blurbs on his blog), that simply don't get into painful corner cases. It's a simple tool that works great - for simple things. It can fail hard on more strenuous cases. As you say, he resists attempts to resolve the ambiguities, yet, he also guards the name "Markdown" - which has all the mindshare - causing headaches for others who try to resolve those ambiguities. So, we get things like CommonMark.
I haven't read 100% of the article, but from skimming over it, I see no mention of p-traps [1]. How exactly are these fumes getting into places when there's essentially an airlock in every drain connection?

It should be worth noting that this is a pretty strong (and I don't think defensible in the case given) claim to make - you're echoing the Marxist/socialist objection to profits (one which I may agree with) but Marx (nor anyone else) ever claimed that this happens without employing wage labour. For profits to be nothing more than unpaid wages, we need to be talking about at least one waged worker who applies labour, and his product is appropriated by his employer.
I use my CV the same way as you. I enjoyed the post, but don't appreciate you sharing the technique with the rest of this lot. :-)
This is why I don't take pictures with my phone or use Facebook or Twitter. I don't want to become just another reporter of experiences like everyone else. They're mine, and if someone wants to know about them they should have to ask like they did back before these tools existed.
My initial thought was it will be a stand alone version that you can download and run next to IE6+ instead of Chrome, FF, et. al.

So instead of replacing IE6 with the competition, replace it with Spartan and MS gets to keep their browser market share and Corp IT can keep running IE6 apps.
We know quite clearly that cancer is (generally) caused by a set of mutations - not necessarily in an order, but some orders are not successful. There are four or five genes which keep social order amongst the other genes. If you silence all of these, you get cancer.

Cells that deviate from what they're supposed to do are either (in order), repaired, silenced, voluntarily commit suicide, or are killed. There are proteins (genes) that are the final judges for each of these processes - and have 'go, no-go' power. Only if all of these judges are killed do you get a cell that can do anything it wants - like replicate uncontrollably to the detriment of the host ('cancer'). Thus the statistics of getting cancer roughly follow the idea that you have to get random DNA modifications of those exact 5 genes, in a single cell. Lots of things can increase your random modification rate (UV, smoke, radiation, etc). Some of these things correlate though - and again, what hurts one cell, might hurt its neighbor just as bad. They're not entirely independent events. For example, losing your DNA repair machinery (this is what HPV does - it silences your DNA repair machinery) amps up the baseline mutation rate and makes further mutations more likely (dependent correlations then arise).

The Brca gene that has caused so much controversy in patent law (whether a test for its existence could be patented) and indicates whether a person might or might be susceptible to breast cancer, is the master repair technician of the cell. In people who have this gene in working order, the Brca gene signs off on whether the cell is in need of repair. But if the Brca is not it working order, cells that are in need of repair might not get it, and instead are allowed to more freely operate under non-optimal internal conditions. If you are missing or have a mutated version of Brca, you are missing one of the checkpoint processes.

So again, we quite clearly know of a handful of genes which do most of the master regulation of a cell's job - and if these jobs go unfulfilled - by having their blueprints be damaged by the environment - you have fewer and fewer mechanisms to prevent that single cell from runaway growth.
While I agree with you, I think it's also important to see that this sort of analysis can be used two ways:

1) Taken at face value, managers might try to directly change the positive metrics. For example, since face-to-face communication is shown to be superior to conference calls, ban remote work and mandate all meetings be in person. Obviously this probably wouldn't make people too happy.

2) On the other hand, understanding what is really driving the metrics can generally improve workplaces for everyone. For example, the article points out that instituting team-wide coffee breaks not only increased productivity, but also employee satisfaction at a call center.

As with all research like this, some companies will make good use of it, and others will not.
Ask you champion the following questions:

* How much money will the company lose if the project is significantly late / cancelled?

* Who at the company will have the most egg on his face if the project is late / cancelled?

* How much competition do you have from other vendors?

* How risk averse are they (would they pay more for fixed-rate payment?)
I talked with a Spartz Media representative at a job fair a couple years ago. I remember thinking that their business model was deplorable--essentially spamming the internet with low-value content--but assumed they would fail. I'm a little scared to learn I was wrong.
