The only hard part about that is avoiding cars coming at high speeds from behind. (Though usually these people will be used to slowing down and they actually have to slow down if the car in front of them is legitimately overtaking another one The main responsibility to keep everyone save lies with the fast driving car on the left lane and with cars changing lanes to insure that they are not blocking someone else. Since autonomous cars have no blind spot and should be quite good at estimating distance and speed, presumably better than humans, that should really not be an issue.)

It's not as though you have to drive fast. Most people actually don't drive super fast, they stick to 130 to 160 km/h. You will only occasionally encounter someone going way beyond that. Just because there's no limit doesn't mean people drive at speeds they are uncomfortable with … extended periods at 160 or beyond make me queasy and I tend to stick to 140 or so. That also gets better mileage.
I use it to print out HTML presentations. I did found some very annoying bugs in saving to PDF (I'll have to see if they have got fixed!), but this is the only (scriptable) way I know of saving each slide of a HTML presentation to PDF (which you need sometimes)
gulp doesn't define groups of servers, or connect to them over encrypted sockets. This does.

FYI the authors (which I'm not) seem to be gulp fans too, and want to leverage as much as they can.
What I have noticed recently is that if I want to buy something very specialized (say, a good spectrometer), it is very hard to find the sellers. The internet is usually no good and needs major effort to find anything at all. Information is usually handed down within companies and organisations, and very hard to come by otherwise.

I wish I got some advertisements from these companies so I knew what offers existed at all, instead of more advertisements for things I know exist and I don't want or need (about any consumer product at all).
A chess board is a closed system with fixed rules, as far as I know you only need a lot of computing power to apply the min-max algorithm to solve any chess game.

In a chess game there are no probalities, AI is about to independently recognizing patterns in noise and develop assumptions out of it. The trick human brains are applying here is called intuition.
They have their online coins insured, so if they lose them, they can reimburse you.

That's a little irrelevant, because their hot storage wallet (their online coins) should be a small subset of their total coins. The whole point of a hot storage wallet is that if you lose them, it doesn't matter. So insuring those is pointless except as a marketing stunt to confuse people, which is why saying "We're insured" is bad faith.

This is a serious, professionally-run company backed by a lot of VCs we all recognize, plus banks and the NYSE.

Indeed, and if Coinbase loses all the coins, none of those people will step in to replace them, because nobody is going to put up hundreds of mullions or a billion dollars just to reimburse customers.

They have everything to gain by honesty and everything to lose by committing fraud, including prison (and that is the only reason they would become insolvent).

I disagree that technical problems can't make them insolvent. All it would take is an unhappy accident in their cold storage procedures.

But beyond tech problems, consider a thought experiment: If you're a gambling person, would you trade 20 years of your life in exchange for becoming a billionaire?

Banks are nice because if someone takes money, the money can be retrieved. Not the case for bitcoin. Someone is in charge of the cold storage procedures, so that person is in control over all the coins. If they decide to take all of them, there's nothing anyone can do about it except throw them into prison.

Obviously, bitcoin may be completely irrelevant by the time you're out of prison. In fact, emptying Coinbase's cold storage reserves might even cause that. But money does strange things to people, and this technology has changed the power dynamic. Some of those changes are good. But are you sure you want to trust a single person with your entire fortune? Worse, you're trusting multiple people where any single person can take your fortune. Even if they require several people to sign off, that's a very small number of people in complete control of your fate.

It probably sounds like I'm anti-Coinbase. I'm not. I'm pro-consumer. As soon as Coinbase insures all of their coins or offers true protection to consumers (by default!) then I'll be their biggest fan, because they'll have become an awesome bank.
Suggested minor change to the non_fp one:

var inList = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];

var non_fp = function ( myListOfNumbers ) {
var out = [];

// square the numbers
for (var i = 0; i < myListOfNumbers.length; i++) {
var x = myListOfNumbers[i] * myListOfNumbers[i];
if (x > 10 && x < 100) {
out.push( x );
}
}

return out;
}
We have got a constitution, it's just not written down in one big decisive document and some parts aren't written down at all.

Our civil servants have written more constitutions than anyone else, we are (or were) quite expert at them. We just don't need a constitution to rally behind and so people know what's proper. We never had the vacuum or potential for a vacuum after a revolution like most other countries..

I think that something inherent but generally unacknowledged about the oxymoron that is "Creative Industry", is how Capitalism robs creativity of any and all integrity. Exploring ideas for the sake of creation, for any reason beyond money-fetishizing, is a wonderful and incomparable thing.

I have coded in Haskell, although only to get a sense of it, and quite a long time ago. I'm not going to pontificate about it here, but I would love to be able to filter these comments based on the length and depth of experience of the commenter, both in Haskell and other language of choice.

There's a lot being said here that's true, and a lot that's personal opinion. I'd love to know the personal experiences that drive those opinions.

Alas, I suspect we will get the opinions, but no way to assess how accurate they might be.
The former only would if actually erradicating a group was either the intent or the (eventual) end result. Not sure the US eugenics program would count under that def (it might have hit many minorities disproportionately, but wouldn't have wiped them out entirely).

To extend off of this, to the point of:

> Their spokesperson spoke to users like they were kindergarten children

It's very difficult when you're in this position to come up with a way to show why something is so wrong without being at least little cynical or infantilizing. What do you do when someone is arguing something that's wrong on an extremely basic level, but also gets annoyed and feels condescended to whenever you try to explain basic principles to them?

If someone sticks their hand on a lit stove, and argues with you about why actually it's good to stick their hand on a lit stove, at some point there isn't a response you can have that isn't going to be infantilizing, at some point you're just going to have to say "hot things make you go ow." If people are angry that Google is insulting them by explaining these basic analogies, then it's harsh, but I kind of feel like I want to say -- don't make mistakes that warrant those analogies.

I think it would be a mistake for companies like Google to act like this is a reasonable debate being held between people with honest disagreements about infrastructure. It's not. It's a debate with an industry/government that fundamentally either doesn't understand how the Internet works or doesn't care. People are mad that Google isn't treating a really bad argument like it's a good one. But it's not a good argument, and it doesn't help anyone to pretend that it is or prop it up and treat it like some kind of serious, reasonable discussion.
This is why we can't have nice things. Raise a tax to guarantee that the richest people keep being rich? Do not want.

> I've never pushed a Tesla before but I'd bet that it's far easier than a regular car

Based on what exactly? A Tesla Model S weighs at least 1000 lbs more than similarly sized cars.
Also want to say - I have studied medicine. There were people on my course who held these beliefs and fully believed what they were now being taught was rubbish, but learnt it to "pass exams". They had done so since school. No amount of education would or could change their viewpoint, which, for me, is the most frightening thing.

Did he say anywhere that he is gay? If he is neither gay nor bisexual, gay marriage is obviously not an option for him.

And heterosexual marriage looks more and more like a really stupid idea for guys, with no visible benefit. I guess that is his point?
Still, the aluminium bodies are nice, but maybe other materials would be better (Magnesium)? The MacBooks are quite heavy, for example.

Granted, there is a lot of trash computers out there, atm I don't even know which ones would be nicer than Apple's (since Samsung has screwed up the design lately). But I haven't done the research, either.
I run Ubuntu entirely on my laptop... and it doesn't bother me that I'm missing it on that device, I have so many others that theres little utility lost.

That said, I see your point; what I'm worried about is the "HTML5 DRM" specification and the binaries for them not being released on Linux. Then we're entirely screwed, with no work-arounds.

Well, before Jason Smith started to try to monetize npm, I would have said nobody. It's open source, right?

After, well, he's the first one to do it, and it's not as though anyone else was in that space. So to me he has a better claim than Nodejitsu.

It's possible that my knowledge is incomplete though so if anyone knows better please correct my misconceptions.

I can't really see Nodejitsu's claim here. Also, why didn't nodejitsu voice their reservations over his use of npm before Jason decided to monetize the project? I feel as though either we don't know the whole story or Nodejitsu is pulling a fast one on the community.

Localhost tunneling has existed for a long time. It's great if you're already doing it somehow. The benefit of Vagrant Share is that it detects all these ports for you and is basically zero-touch: "vagrant share" and you're done!

Another benefit Vagrant Share has that I haven't seen yet in any other localhost tunneling solution is that it shares _every_ port (if you want), not just a single port, and gives the other person an IP to access the machine as if it were on the LAN. This is super nice if you want to expose anything like Redis, SSH, etc. You just "vagrant share" and, again, you're done.

Also, many localhost tunneling solutions don't support UDP. We fully support UDP connections in addition to TCP.

The big win, though, technology aside, is how if you use Vagrant, this just becomes another part of your Vagrant workflow that _just works_. You don't have to worry about installing anything, and of course it'll work with any sort of guest machine running on any provider.
In general, we feel like our body (brain included) and mind are the same thing. We want to go sleep but we keep worrying about work. We are trying to get focused on something but noises outside break our concentration. We need do to something but the fear paralyzes us. We feel an itch and we have to scratch it.

I think the best way to describe what these practices teach is a way to realize your mind is something else, and you can choose what to do with stimuli (external and internal) instead of just responding mechanically to it, or being dragged away by it.

This is what I've been taught about meditation anyway.
True believers will not be swayed by catastrophic failure, or any other evidence, that is what makes them true believers.
I won't be that sure about SLS anymore with many recent events concerning it:
- it failed to do full mission length firing during during the Green Run testing
- its main supporter in the Senate Shelby announced he is going to retire
- Europa clipper will launch on Falcon Heavy instead of SLS
- early Gateway parts have been recently announced as also launching on Falcon Heavy

Not much left for SLS to do & its cost and delays are unly getting more insane by the day.
I work at Amazon. My father-in-law is a union pipefitter. We both make 100k a year. Except he has a pension and I have to pay into a 401k.

Further, the culture at Amazon is such working harder would require sacrificing physical and mental health. Especially on the retail and warehouse side.
Unfortunately, I can see why you are not getting calls. But I may be able to at least give some advice:

Your resume is all over the place. Sure, you've done some things, but you haven't listed a single technical skill. Tell us more about what your software skills are, not just list a description of projects. Your resume should be a focused story of how you have delivered successful projects, and how you can help a team improve the delivery of future projects. Unfortunately, your resume has way too many instances of "Didn't work, I shut it down." Failures happen, but you need to spin them to show that you learned something from the experience.

If I were you, I'd do a few things to fix this --

Don't describe every thing you have ever done. Filter it down to only projects that are relevant to software development. List out what technical stacks you used, and what skills you learned from the projects. Don't say, "I gave up and shut it down." Find something else to say about the project - describe lessons learned and how your skills improved. If you can't come up with a positive description of the result of a project, don't list it.

If you re-write your experience in that way, you'll have a better chance of someone calling you back.
To be perfectly clear, I did a double-take because I mis-read it the first time, I'm probably not alone on this, and I'd consider it an ill-advised name.

You could consider me oversensitive, but would you choose Niggardly for a brand name?

I agree "shouldn't be too hard" should be avoided, but in this case the developers should fix it even if it is hard.
Last month I heard people saying that Apple thinks normal users are more important than graphic designers, and the month before that I heard people claiming that we shouldn't worry about Parallels support because "normal users" don't need it. At this point, I'm not even convinced there is a normal user.
+1 to this. Jobs take up the majority of our mental space and energy and hours in the day. Why shouldn’t we strive to achieve something more meaningful within it?
A lot of our smart home stuff is primarily around our dog as well.

Cameras to watch the dog when we're out and lights to turn on when it starts getting dark.

We also have a training treat dispenser so when she barks at strangers, it'll dispense treats to keep her distracted and learn to calm down instead of barking.

In many ways, dogs are like kids, and you go through the same things for them.

It's one thing to nuke links, but this apparently went beyond that. From the TC comments:

This would be like if I asked you for examples of which sites were banned, and you couldn't even post to tell me.

I'm guessing that since this is a text-based markup language, a lot of people wanted a format that had a lot less friction in a compute-constrained mobile environment, preferably something that can be piped straight to a GPU.

HTML is fine for the browser because it is mostly delivering text and JS, which are both processed in a CPU. Text files are inherently GPU-hostile, and that makes them a weird choice for a graphical markup language.
This content, while still accurate (Rust is Web-ready, and all the frameworks listed are excellent!), is missing out a few credible and recent options.

In particular I want to shout out for Axum (https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum), from the folks who brought us Tokio. I've been building with it for the past few weeks and have enjoyed every minute.

I started with Warp, but ended up struggling a bit with middleware. I tried Axum as a web framework wrapper for tower (https://crates.io/crates/tower), and never ended up bothering to reintegrate back into Warp.
That would entirely defeat the purpose of cloudflare's DDoS protections.
You say that, but what if they choose paternalistic restrictions on post frequency?

"You must make all your choices yourself, and you must prefer that!" <- doesn't actually seem all that free, to me.

People act like any one website must support all use cases, all the time, when in reality, opting in to the site is also a choice; literally nothing on the Internet is required, you can choose not to participate (and all of the consequences, good or bad, that come with that choice).
Even worse, many of these self-appointed Article Sheriffs are part of little vigilante cliques that include members of varying rank and influence which they call on for reinforcements if they're formally challenged on anything.

I've had jobs at various tech companies. I'm fairly confident I could make a good living in most cities in the US, either through working remotely, contract work, or working for local companies if I can find a good one.

However, I just can't get the quality of work in Arizona that I can get here. When I go hunting for a new job here I can talk to dozens of world-class companies making products used across the world. More importantly, these companies are really innovating. They aren't just rebuilding or reapplying the same technologies.

That fulfillment in my work is worth dealing with the cost of living, though most of the companies compensate well.
