That's disingenuous.

Only 2 officers required hospitalization. For comparison, there were many hospitalizations every single night of the 90-ish day Antifa seige of the Oregon federal courthouse.

In Oregon, Antifa were blasting officers with fireworks, going after them with hammers, polearms, shields, etc. We didn't see that in DC either. Instead we find the police generally getting along with the overwhelming majority of protesters.

Even 9 guns is nothing worth mentioning statistically. If those people had been interested in causing serious harm, almost all of them could have shown up with AR-15s. Hundreds of thousands of people with AR-15s could easily overpower any troops that could have been sent into the area. The fact that we didn't see this once again plays against the media's claims of a coup attempt.
There is a pull request open which improves the algorithm massively. Author couldn't finish it because of health issues sadly.
I've installed it on my phone and it works great but I had to update some parameters in the code so it'd work.
You can already do this in POSIX.1-2001-conforming systems like Linux using `clock_nanosleep` (http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/clock_nanosleep.2.html).
American health care is one of the biggest worries in my life. I don't hold my breath about it being fixed though.
While this was a joke, I am concerned about terminal utils having (opt-out) telemetry. It seems to have spread recently. For example, Homebrew, .NET core, ...
Respectfully, I think you were playing with fire and got lucky. You have to treat bipolar disorder very differently than unipolar depression. I don't know any doctor who would recommend or even consider using LSD to treat bipolar disorder. Many of the treatments that work for unipolar depression are terrible for bipolar disorder because they can instigate manic or hypomanic phases, if not outright psychosis. I feel happy when reading that you kept bipolar depression at bay (that's really, really good) but I want to caution the readers on this website from using LSD if they have bipolar disorder.

What did you replace it with out of curiosity?
pours one out for Bricklink

Gonna miss you Bricklink, its was good while it lasted.
Even if they were curious his would that be realized?

You couldn’t just book a ticket and hotel room.

It cost a lot of money so the only way to do it was via setting up a company to try and make profit on the endeavor. Only few people could manage that.

It’d be like asking years hence, the Americans had been to the moon, why wasn’t anyone else curious about the moon, why hadn’t others put people on the moon?
That is my fear as well. I would say that the conventional outlets that provide the illusion of agency have in fact failed. That's why we got the rise of both Trump and Bernie. When people realize that neither unconventional approach gives them real political agency, look out.
Do you have a better source? The last edit on that Wikipedia page was made by an anonymous editor and just adds "Died 2019" without any citation. As someone who used to know him many years ago, I'd rather not see him declared dead without more definitive information.
>eventually full AIs

At that point there will be no corporations or anything else related to our society because it will break the premise society is built on - that we are better off working with each other - someone in control of such AI doesn't need anyone else - it's impossible to guess what they would do with it but a logical choice would be to eliminate potential threats (ie. anyone who can develop similar technology or compromise it)

Once someone kicks off a "seed AI" that can develop/replicate fast enough it's game over for the rest, they win. And note that by AI I'm not talking about Terminator style self-aware machines - I'm talking about a problem solving device capable of performing given tasks.
My sample size is around 200.

Interestingly, I interviewed one fantastic Indian woman. Turned out, she'd been schooled by Catholics.
Yay for more spa and salon ad's shoved down my throat.
Did you read your post? The downvotes aren't due to some Netflix fan club. Talk about what you don't like about the selection on Netflix instead of just calling it and its movies terrible.

"I know a movie is bad if it's available for streaming on netflix."

Many of the best movies ever made are available for steaming.

"I only use Netflix for streaming and everyone I know has the same problem with Netflix that I do. The streaming content is absolutely LAME."

Yet you still use Netflix?
Odd you would completely block all IE users (not just IE6) instead of letting them see a site that may have some issues but still mostly works.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Really, I run on props, and a comment like this is worth at least a month of energy.

As for being acquired, I feel like it's this myth that great projects get acquired or sold. But I haven't even heard a peep about potential interest. And NewsBlur has hundreds of premium users keeping the servers on at night! You'd be surprised, but I have yet to hear about any interest whatsoever. It's nice to have a profitable project, but if I were in it for the potential acquisition, I would've quit a looong time ago. It's just not worth it (or maybe it is... 10 million, 10 million, no whammy, STOP).
In my experience, programmers' competences aren't so broad that we can take the decisions you presented.

Are you suggesting that in your experience, programmers never use unusual techniques, never push back on requirements, and never engage in refactoring or infrastructure construction?

Repeatable measures are easier when there is a repeatable conventions to deliver work.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Sure it's easier when there are repeated conventions. But are there actually repeated conventions? You could create an environment with repeated conventions by firing Fred, Ed, and Jed. Now you can measure everything with ease. Are you better off?
>"When this thread is referenced to a week from now there is no way to see what sort of agreement occurred with either one of us."

That just means that people will have to read the comments and decide for themselves based on the merits of the comments.

One might argue that that is better than deciding based on points because some people interpret points as assent to the beliefs expressed in the comment while others interpret points as a indicating the technical quality of the comment, e.g relevant supporting rationales and examples assembled logically.
Quite true. Our "recommendations" are frequently a weird hodgepodge with things like Thomas the Tank Engine and Californication right next to each other.

OTOH, this was only vaguely better when we had cable. (You could have user-specific channel lists, but it was annoying to access them. And even still, there was no way to outright remove channels from the main list - is it really necessarily for me (or my kids) to see what's currently playing on the adult channels I don't subscribe to?)
Yeah! Something I think about occasionally is traffic-light optimization problems, optimizing for throughput, wait-time, safety etc. I think it could work well in a packaging similar to Elevator Saga.
Eh, so what? I've had the same gmail email address for around 17 years now and I get like 50 spam emails a day that are successfully filtered by their spam protection.

I have to prune my email inbox like a garden. I'm constantly unsubscribing from stuff. It's just the reality of the way how the internet and email works, unfortunately.
The page is from 2003, I think, so I'm surprised it's even available, I bet most of the links live in archive.org because this site was picked up by major news sites back then.
Theoretically, yes. But such companies would also have the ability to argue that their API was fully interoperable with S3, a factor counseling in favor of fair use. Google could have talked about interoperability in this case too, but for some reason didn't; see my other comment [1].

The Parker Brother's trademark they had to license... probably to get specific imagery. However, the suffix "-opoly" as it refers to games was lost.

McD's probably waited until the trademark on Monopoly was sufficiently weakened for them to go out, license the other parts of it (as it was Parker Brothers(TM).

https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=4803%3A...

In particular - https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4803:qp... is likely the one that they're referring to which covers the trademark on the board and game pieces - which is different than the game name.

Also note that many of those (now dead) trademarks were all filed in '85 - '87... after they lost the trademark in '83.
>Oh, so it's almost like...

I'd love to be equally snide and rude in response but I seem to get a lot of moderator attention so I won't.
I get hosting companies have always had problems with abusers. The problem is, they banned me even before I did anything, and provided no recourse on opening a support ticket. They just ended with "this ban will not be reconsidered". I was honestly quite pissed but moved on since I lost nothing, Azure has been wonderful for me till now.
Yeah my brother's wife will completely shut down and start screaming if a dog comes within 5 feet of her. Where she grew up in China dogs were wild animals that would viciously attack you if you got near them, so it's a pretty understandable reaction. So I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here.

Also having personally seen how poorly trained most peoples' dogs are I would be very uncomfortable having a random stranger's dog near me. A lot of the dogs I encounter on the street are neurotic wrecks incapable of passing without barking, leash pulling, or lunging.
> Allergy or fear of dogs is not good enough.

I'm interested in this part. This seems to be counterintuitive. Is a waiter with a really bad peanut allergy required to serve a guest a dish with peanuts in it? Why does the clients (legitimate) health concerns override the drivers (also legitimate) health issues?
I’d bet against this. Neural networks still don’t actually understand the text at all. I would imagine true understanding is required for this task. You can’t get to the moon climbing progressively higher trees.
It doesn't matter though, it's still O(n) worst case (where n is the total size of the data).
I doubt that the majority of people who use IRC are ever gonna switch to Slack. I personally cannot stand Slack - so noisy, so distracting - if I have to use something other than IRC, it will be HipChat, Gitter [0], or Kato [1], but I guess there's a demographic that just loves wasting time with animated gifs...

If you're spending that much time analyzing what food to get when you're out to avoid getting "ripped off", I think maybe you should just learn to cook for yourself because it's a lot cheaper and rewarding in the long run.

Someone who thinks that way probably isn't a good tipper either, so enjoy the free ride on the restaurants' pathetic cashflow.

There's a reason why margins are high on certain menu items in restaurants; running restaurants are a rough business, labor-heavy, and the day-to-day take is volatile and meager, often to do factors entirely out of your control.
How long are grave sites kept in the US? Here in Germany they are reused (25 years is a common period), and family graves are "people buried stacked".
I think you could make similar arguments against the use of CSS. eg:

- plays nicer on lower end hardware (I actually don't buy that CSS is smoother than GIF. I think it's 50/50 depending on how the GIF was designed (eg # frames, delay between frames, frame overlay method, etc), the hardware the GIF / CSS is rendered on, the browser running the CSS, etc.

- GIF works uniformly on all platforms (bar console-based browsers obviously hehe)

- and to expand on your second point, it doesn't seem like you're using alpha transparency on half your examples anyway.

Anyhow, it wasn't my intention to be negative. There's some stylish work there and it shows you've gone to a lot of effort. I particularly like the Pac-Man example. Unfortunately though (and to reiterate an early point) sadly quite a few examples failed to animate. Below is my full user agent string, and a map of the examples that worked and failed, in case it helps you with future developments:

I like to advocate against using placeholder texts most of the time. The problem is often that designers/developers have to create a page with some content on it, but they don't know the content yet. They know a bit what it's about but the real texts on the page are not ready yet. Then they use Lorem Ipsum or something else.

This is wrong from the start. Before designing a page, you should know what the content is gonna be. The content should then decide what the design is gonna look like. Essentially, content is part of the design.

Designs that used placeholder texts like Lorum Ipsum can also fail, because the real texts turn out to be much shorter/longer than the placeholder text. Or the text is really something else than the designer/developer expected. Or the designer placed some cool text box somewhere but nobody has an idea what kind of content they should put there. This often results in useless texts appearing on the page because the design demands it. Or the other way around, the product owner wants to add a certain text somewhere, but there's not really a place for that in the design, often resulting in an ugly/quick fix.

In the end it is all about the content. The design is to complement the content. So I think generally the best approach is to start with the content, then create a design to complement the content.

Of course, in some situations it's not possible, but if you can, start with the content!
> Aging is encoded in our DNA with a purpose

Natural selection and evolution has no purpose. It does what works best in its environment. If mankind find that having longer and healthier lives benefits its species, we will probably go that way anyway.
That's just what they want - at least you won't be out spreading nefarious ideas that they can't monitor, and starting the revolution.

Now sit down here like a good little citizen and watch this lovely entertaining "programming" we have for you - and don't forget to buy some of the products we show you too - you know you need them really. ;)
Wasn't this the house owned by the douchebag director in Mulholland Drive?
In my experience, the worst programmers have negative productivity. 10X programmers must be real monsters.
I agree. It reminds me of parenting, if you are thinking about how you can be a better parent, you are already ahead of the pack.
What's funny is that MS-DOS is only 4 years older than Windows, initial MS-DOS release being 33 years old whereas Windows is 29 years old.

I'm pretty sure that in 2018, there won't be a “Windows Showcase” giving such a rush of sweet nostalgia; I wonder how come Win has so much more longevity than MS-DOS had?
I thought that candy bar looked familiar https://twitter.com/notch/status/545729155359207426
I like this theory, seems to fit my experience and intuition much more than the "innate ability" kinds.

But then again, I'm a weird kind of programmer. I'm a 10X+ programmer when working on my own stuff, or some challenge, basically for fun. Start paying me or expecting me to deliver, and my productivity drops to 0.1X. I've been unsuccessfully trying to figure that out for years and fix my work productivity, with little result. I feel like I'm wired to be obligation-averse. The moment I have to do something instead of just wanting to, I lose all my skills.
This would make for some quite spectacular accidents...
Really? But everyone uses it right?
I mean, clearly you're right, but since 50%+ of the really excellent resumes are also from awful candidates, there's still no usable signal.
I will forever remember the prophetic warning in the preface of Zen and the Art of the Internet:

"One warning is perhaps in order -- this territory we are entering can become a fantastic time-sink. Hours can slip by, people can come and go, and you'll be locked into Cyberspace. Remember to do your work!"
Any sufficiently complex system (whether it's a text editor, biological ecosystem, or vehicle) is going to be difficult to interact with for a new user. Emacs is hard to do, well anything, the first time you fire it up, you're probably going to die in the Amazon if without a knowledgeable guide, and you're not going to be able to sit down at the controls of a fighter jet and just take off.

The trade of for this (is supposed to be) increased flexibility and power for the person interacting with the system once they are familiar with it. You can write elisp to automate tasks you do frequently, see animals in the rain forest not found in zoos, and do maneuvers that can't be approached with a Cessna.

Increased complexity of a system increases the possibilities for the user but also increases the difficulty of acclimation. This is a part of life and not specific to a text editor.
I have run into this issue in a previous endeavor. I would say scrap it or pay attention to the one thing that they liked in the product and see if there is a pivot opportunity in there. Refer Instagram story.
Ah, the curse of material reductionism.
Is anosmia worth including in the symptoms options?
Me and my SO have now almost fully recovered from COVID-19 after a rough few days.

Now that I have these anti-bodies in my blood, should we not be allowed outside, spend our money and help the economy?

There are must be at least 100 000 people in my (small) country that are now immune. A number that is growing faster than published number of infected.

Let's make a plan for our return to society. Let us wear a mark or put a stamp in our passports or let's think of something clever.

I feel like I could be doing a lot more than just working from home with my newfound super-power.

And it's funny, because in this article he says that he doesn't like making digital card games because they end up being overly complicated, but that's exactly what he designed Artifact as, and even bragged about how it was going to be the most complex card game people ever played.
> In essence, it provides a means to absolutely order events, regardless of which distributed node an event originated at.

Einstein said you can't absolutely order events -- and with widely enough distributed systems and small enough time quanta, sooner or later you're going to run into relativistic implications.

Probably not a problem for most applications we currently have to deal with, but one day -- soon enough that we're already giving new protocols names like "Interplanetary File System" -- our databases will spread out among the stars, and how will we handle time and event ordering then?
That's literally the use-case of pasting the link to your sketch to someone. The app itself is not touching your clipboard. Take a careful look at how this works, it's perfectly innocuous.

React is a piece of code that is versioned which the developer has full control over. A cloud service would be entirely controlled by Facebook, meaning your business can be bricked by Facebook on a whim, as has happened to many Facebook-hosted apps in the past. There's a reason why few take Facebook seriously as a developer platform these days.
Maybe it’s just me but the title confused me... I thought they found artificial impacts on Ryugu, impacts that were artificial but not man made. Spoiler alert: the impact is man made and the article is about analyzing this impact.
Bitcoin made a lot of sense when I first read about it in 2011. Back then I feel like it was primarily used as an anonymous payment method. Think dark web/silk road type stuff. I certainly don't endorse that behavior, but bitcoin as a payment method made a lot of sense.

Bitcoin makes 0 sense to me as an investment. It's pure speculation with no underlying intrinsic value. It's the Dutch Tulips 10.0 basically.

And now because the value of bitcoin is unbelievably volatile, it now makes 0 sense as a means of payment.
Which is the more satisfying purchase?

I'd enjoy spending money on a nice meal or say a guitar, things that bring joy rather than a say a boiler that brings utility.
Isn’t that the wrong comparison though? If you want to run scratch just use something other than an iPhone.

When I was a kid we had 8bit micros. They were programmable but they were also eye wateringly expensive. So it was a struggle to own anything you could program at all.

Also they all came with closed source, proprietary OSs.

I used to spend a fair amount of time just starring at adverts for things I couldn’t afford and that would be obsolete before I could.

Now you can get a whole computer given away free on the front cover of a magazine and it will do a pretty good job of running scratch for you.
In which case, I do agree with a lot of what you say. There are many alternatives to what Google offers for website builders nowadays. It's just most people aren't aware of them. Many guides will just say use Google fonts and use Google analytics.
Projecting a bit here?

I’ve been remote for a couple of years and my productivity is at least 2x what it was in an office. Said office was fairly quiet, plus I take care of a child during the day at home, and I am still more effective than before.
The arrow keys were an interesting challenge. We actually prototyped both versions, and the full height ones ended up feeling better to most folks. It's definitely a matter of personal preference though.

The Framework Laptop comes in at 15.85mm thick and 1.3kg. So a couple of sheets of paper thicker than a 13" MacBook Pro, but a bit lighter.

On the Expansion Cards, that is fair. We can say we're getting rid of the need for adapters that protrude from the machine and need to be removed when you need to transport it.
