I've been on Android for a decade as well but just got an iPad mini. The one thing I still cannot figure out how to do on iOS is block ads at the system level. Android has lots of apps that act as a VPN that block ads/trackers via DNS. It blocks ads in the browser, but also in apps.

I can't find the equivalent on iOS. All my searches lead to ad blockers using Safari's content blocking, but the VPN-style ad blockers appear to violate Apple's terms, and so aren't in the app store. I've also seen recommendations to use Pi hole on my network, which is fine until I leave the house.

If anyone has recommendations for system-wide VPN/DNS-based blockers for iOS, please share. That's the last real thing keeping me on Android.

Friend, the point of the story is that no matter how rational or scientific your views may be, they are still based on assumptions that are beyond any human verification. That fact should open our imaginations to some very remarkable possibilities.
juggling ruins you for that second test.

Know what's really hard? Grab a flashing/blinking bouncy ball, and try to play catch with it (or juggle) in the dark.
Yes I do worry about that. What scares me is that I hardly know very much at all about my great grandfather or great great grandfather. They were probably good men, looked after their families, were successful, yet I don't know much about them. In a few generation, (perhaps just 100 years) will I be forgotten?? What impact am I really leaving?
Aah, I see it now. Didn't think to reverse the URL text.

I assumed they were serious. Plenty of people are dragged to 3D stuff even though it bothers them.
Thank you.

This is the kind of response I was hoping to see. I'm not qualified to comment at all on Clojure, but I was interested to see what people thought who were part of this community.

I wish more people would address these points. If Clojure really is fine the way it is then argue that point positively rather than chip away at Strawman arguments, which, at best, were only tangential.

Finally, I'm not so sure about the public-private point you are making. There's a reason we protect free (public) speech: being publicly criticized is much harder to ignore than private requests.

This rant has become front page material on Hacker News. That's pressure. If there really is dissatisfaction amongst the Clojure community, this won't be the last time we'll be reading about this particular exchange.
Loop and Format are only useful for getting work done, but they fall flat for waxing poetic on LISP beauty.
They do, though all I've tried have been at the wrong angle, and you just look weird holding your head at 45 degrees for 2 hours.
I've heard good stuff about that one, too! I'm waiting for the new edition (coming in June, supposedly), I've got plenty to read til then.

I also really enjoyed _Essentials of Metaheuristics_. I bought a print copy, but thanks for putting a free PDF out there.
Was trying to figure out where it lies in the CAP trade-off space. Found this set of slides

http://hyperdex.org/slides/2012-04-13-HyperDex.pdf :

---

* Consistent: linearizable. GET returns latest PUT, always

* Available: in the presence of < f failures

* Partition-Tolerant: for partitions with < f nodes

---

So it seems they have strong C and a tunable trade-off between A and P ?

Then they take a jab at the popular interpretation of the CAP theorem and claim they have a work-around:

----

Working around the [CAP] theorem:
* Constrain the failure size
* Redirect clients to majority partition
* Proﬁt: Retain all of C, A, P
Realistic for a modern data center

CAP misses the point The real tradeoff is between C, A, and Performance.

---

Not sure what they meant here. Anyone understood this better?

> Intel is already behind AMD -- they have no product segment where they are absolutely superior.

There are some who would argue this claim, but I think it's at least a defensible one.

Still, availability is an important factor that isn't captured by benchmarking. AMD has had CPU inventory trouble in the low-end laptop segment and high-end desktop segment alike.

> The consensus seems to be that Intel who have their own fabs -- never really nailed anything under 14nm and are now being outcompeted.

Intel has done well with 10nm laptop CPUs. They were just very late to the party. Desktop and server timelines have been quite a bit worse. I agree Intel did not nail 10nm, but they're definitely hanging in there. It's one process node at the cusp of transition to EUV, so some of the defeatism around Intel may be overzealous if we keep in mind that 7nm process development has been somewhat parallel to 10nm because of the difference in the lithographic technology.

If we are concerned with cars killing people, we should get rid of cars. This FUD around self-driving == killing people will, in the long-term, cause more deaths than the handful of sensationalized stories about self-driving deaths.

The only reason those car crashes get national attention is because they were self-driving. In every other way they are boring. Bicyclists hit by car: every day. Man killed by semi: every day. etc.

Do you think you'd see a bunch of FUD about a 2021 manually-driven Chevy mystery car getting in a minor fenderbender and equating it with the safety of the entire car industry? No.

“immiserate other people who want to live there“

Perhaps true, but what right do the people who don’t live in his neighborhood but want to have the right to immiserate the people who already live there by building high density blocks?

Yes, this has been his project for many years now - he threw a fit and fled to China in 2016 when the NHTSA sent him a Special Order requesting test data for the Comma One product, which he then cancelled and released as pseudo open-source (the ML model is still a closed black box).
> This is off topic, but lack of sufficient bandwidth is only due to government sponsored monopolies such as Verizon and Comcast. There is no reason fiber can’t be extended everywhere. Somehow, the great US of A can get water, gas, sewer, and electrical utilities to a vast majority of homes, but not fiber internet.

Verizon and Comcast are not "government sponsored monopolies" (which are illegal under the 1992 Cable Act). And you overlook the fact the U.S. has tremendous difficult building infrastructure of all kinds, not just fiber: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/2/6/the-american-co....

Water, sewer, gas, electric, etc., infrastructure was either built long ago, before costs exploded, or has been rolled into the very high county infrastructure fees that are common across the U.S. For the most part people don't notice those costs, because they're rolled into the price of new housing, but they run to tens of thousands of dollars. My subdivision did not have public water/sewer when built in the 1920s.[1] However, the county came in and built that infrastructure a few years ago, charging every house $30,000 to be hooked up. If state and local governments were willing to impose those kinds of costs to build fiber, we could have widespread fiber in the U.S. as well.

[1] My house doesn't have gas either. We rely on oil and propane tanks for heating/cooking. However, we have had fiber since 2006, a decade before we got public sewer/water! Thanks to Verizon... I actually had another fiber line installed, from Comcast...

Searching for opening times of local shops is what keeps me on Google for now... Very basic but very common search for me...
DuckDuckGo is a little less powerful for some types of searches. Its date filter doesn't let you specify custom dates, the autocorrect behavior is some sort of bug (https://help.duckduckgo.com/results/autocorrect/), local businesses get lost amongst many others, etc. For example searching with "+goats" finds the author's movie, but the default search and the suggested correction of quoting goats don't: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=film+leonardo+dicaprio+%2Bgoats+sc...
OTOH searching on Google doesn't find the scene for me either; I suspect it only succeeded for the author because Google knew he'd seen that movie.

DDG's index of web pages seems bigger. The index isn't as up-to-date on popular sites, but many obscure sites (e.g. my blog) show up in DDG and not in Google. But then Google indexes more PDFs.

The Renault Zoe outsells all Tesla models in Europe these days, wasn't built on an existing platform, and came out the same time as the Model S. I believe for the whole of the last decade except for a year around when the Model 3 came out, either the Zoe or the rather similar Nissan Leaf outsold Tesla in Europe.

Tesla's main success story seems to have been the US, presumably due to very lackluster competition. The US isn't a huge market for electric cars, tho.
Sorry but I have to chime in here. His thoughts seem insightful and relevant to discussion. You are calling his contributions 'meaningless' and condescendingly telling him twice to 'be specific'. That's not how things are meant to be discussed around here and not how you get an answer out of someone.
You dont need to propose cuts. Just freeze everything in place.

Thats a big start
> Wealth is not "trickling down" mainly because of high taxes in Europe

it's not trickling down anywhere.

While it might be in most corporations best interest to have consumers that can afford to buy all the thing they are selling, it's also in their own immediate interest to squeeze as much money as they can, and keep it for them self.

And each year laws get passed (or reverted) that help corporations , and they get better and better at squeezing.

Look at the trends, middle class is disappearing, and more and more wealth is captured and kept at the top. (corporations are getting bigger and bigger, and rich people are getting richer)

and it's happening in USA even faster than in most of Europe. Pretty much the only place where middle class is growing is China (and other developing countries), but that is because they are still catching up.

So it can't be just the EU taxes.

Trickle down is nice theory, too bad it doesn't work in practice.

And no I don't even pretend to know what the solution is.

I just think that lowering taxes for corporations, will just make even more money for corporations, make them more powerful and not really help anyone else.
Isn't 16 beyond the age where this would seem impressive?
Haven't driven anything on that tier, but I've driven the Macan and Q5 family. Despite being on the same platform, they drive quite differently. The Macan could probably shame a lot of so-called "sports cars".

The next generation Macan is supposed to be entirely EV. I'm interested what Porsche will do to make it enjoyable to drive. As it stands my next car (this year) will probably be a Tesla Model 3 of some trim, but we'd probably be giving an EV Macan a serious look as the replacement to our CUV.
Those prices should come down, though. Lidar is fairly exotic at the moment, which contributes to those prices. Once more applications are found, I would expect those to drop. One interesting application is for motion detection. Lidar gives a detailed enough image to determine whether an object is a person or not, paving the way for motion detection systems that only trigger when humans move, as opposed to when anything moves.

The lifetime of the sensors is also important. If the sensors outlive the car, you can amortize a big part of that $200k by just putting old sensors on a new car. If the sensors are shorter lived than the car, the total cost of the car over its lifetime will be much higher.
I'd still rather be the driver in that scenario (Which I believe was the parent's point)
I love me some sencha!

Nothing got people easier into programming than good old BASIC did.

MODE 4; LINE 10,10, 250,250

Instant attraction.

Beginner steps need to be small and need to give an immediate reward, BASIC got that right, almost every other language stood so far away from the available devices that the spark failed to jump the gap in many places.

Smalltalk is another language that got this right, people - especially beginners - need instant gratification to move from curiosity to immersion.

The idea that readability matters influences the whole Python ecosystem and community.
Python3 also eliminated quite a handful of quirks (e.g. division, Unicode). By the way, it's not since last year only that Python was used for introduction but for years now.
It is amusing what happens when you make games that are "realistic" in a way which isn't fun for players but is like real life, and get to see how the player base reacts.

"Even without a power structure, people will try to dominate, bully others, by posting more frequently than anyone else in an effort to drown out other opinions or contributions."

This can be easily countered with setting user quota (per day of week or whatever) on emails to the list. Not that this is a cure for all - but I believe this can improve the democracy of mailing lists. I hope some mailing list management software will add this as an option some day.

No, and if you were awake long enough to hear about the HoloLens you'd know that.
Thank you! I will never understand this push towards "isomorphism". Why do you want to use more javascript? I use javascript because I have to, not because I want to. I love being able to work in the language of my choice on the server.

Furthermore, I'm not convinced it's a good thing to blur the lines between client and server. Or in other words, I think it's a good thing for the developer to be thinking about the differences and the ramifications of code on the client vs. code on the server. The whole thing reminds me of the EJB days, where we were sold on the idea of not having to think about the implications of local vs. remote objects. In reality, no matter how you hide it in the syntax, those kinds of distinctions have consequences, and treating client code like it's server code or vice versa just seems like a bad idea to me.
Thanks, that is a good idea. I posted it to my blog:

You ignored the most important part of what I said.

> Thus, if the test-taker doesn't know English, they get the same (low) score on both tests—to the BNN, that is the same as "no new evidence."

So, of course, you wouldn't test APL vs. APL+whitespace on someone who doesn't know APL, because your test results would always, predictably, be 1:1. But you wouldn't be testing APL vs. anything—because APL is a set of design choices that have already been made, and anyone who knows APL would already have taken the time to absorb those design choices. It would be most scientifically rigorous, as I said, to start with a made-up programming language (a random combination of language features that has no overarching design principle which users could recognize to reduce cognitive load), teach it to the users, and then do the tests on that language, vs. that language w/ modifications.
Hell Ya!!!!
You're absolutely right that Tumblr is sexy. In fact, that's why I prefer it over Posterous. That being said, I'd be curious to see how many of these blogs are abandoned within a week, or even a few months?

I know that I have 10 Tumblr blogs, each of which I forget about after a few weeks, and I'm a tech-geek.

I love the simplicity of Tumblr, and it's a great service, but I just don't see how they can come out ahead unless they get better at monetizing. I get that they aren't focused on it, but shouldn't they get some practice?

SSD can also have lower power requirements. Combine SSD with the cloud, and you can have something which can respond faster to the typical user while eliminating any thoughts about storage size and backups.

If you just treat the Flash as RAM, with volatile RAM as a very large L3 cache, the notion of hard drive can just disappear. Everything just becomes orthogonally persistent.

I'm guessing this is a troll. Most programmers I talk to in person just get this without so much exposition.
>think that all parts of the EM spectrum have the same effect

Absolutely nowhere did I indicate that.

It does use radiation, and radiation is for the most part, and in this case, completely harmless.

I would assert that not understanding that all EM waves are radiation, including visible light, is the reason we have to deal with morons complaining about wifi signals.

There are a number of reasons to use open-plan offices, not all disreputable, as I explained here: https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2015/03/02/open-plan-of...

That said, a common reason for it is back-door age discrimination. Plenty of companies use open-plan offices without such an intent (they "look" busy, which pays off in marketing, and they're cheap) but the open-plan fetishism is all about "culture fit", meaning exclusion of the old, the female, the lower-than-upper-middle-class, and all disabilities except early stage alcoholism.

Tech companies are, in general, very badly managed. It doesn't prevent them from being successful because technology is so powerful that it compensates for inept management. I see this as a good thing in the long term (imagine what this industry could do if it wasn't run by idiots) but, culturally, it's bad because the worst attributes of "startup culture" are infecting the whole economy.
Now that you bring it up, the JSON API specification does not even mention REST or hypermedia actually. What I was trying to get at is that media types don't have to be coupled to the protocol. One can exchange an HTML document over HTTP just as easily as one could transmit that document over another protocol.

Some media types do consider their applicability over multiple protocols, for example: http://amundsen.com/blog/archives/1151
