Isn't that what we already had with standard OS window managers, before some applications (like browsers) started using their own internal window management (MDI and tabs)?

Also, purely tabbed window managers (and similar interfaces, like on iOS) have the disadvantage of not allowing user multitasking, which is a huge step backwards in UX. See this article: http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2011/03/04/multitasking.
It didn't, and didn't even have the co-operative multitasking that was introduced later.

You could simulate threads like GUSI did, by passing control on (simulated) UNIX system calls.
Not yet. gearman is a job service which sits on top of a queue (much like python celery). We did not need all that, given the fact we are using Storm.
I enjoy an occasional McDonald's burger. But my biggest concern is what's in it. E.g up until 2011 their hamburgers had "pink slime"[1] in them.[2] Yummy!

That fact alone leads me to be concerned that McDonald's approach to my health could be akin to "whack a mole". They dropped the slime after everyone made a big stink about it. What else is still in there that I don't know about?

Contrast to Chipotle, which McDonald's used to own a major stake in. I can actually see Chipotle cut the steak they use into little pieces, I can actually see them carry that steak out to the serving line.

I actually love the taste of Taco Bell and find Chipotle to be heaping piles of blandness. But all my friends and coworkers prefer it and would laugh at me if I ate cheap fast food, so I end up going to Chipotle more often. It's definitely not for the taste.
Because startups are based around abusing their employees who don't know better. If you aren't a founder, you are nothing.

That's a tough pill to swallow but it's a good thing you realized it and are doing so now, rather than after you took the job as first engineer. Your insight is 100% correct. You, as the first engineer, are taking on a huge amount of the risk of the startup and the work but you aren't getting the upside like the founders are.

Morality does play a part here, but what you took for "moralizing" is me pointing out how the framing of the question constrains the answer. Specifically this passage:

>>>The basic problem is this. There are a great deal of resources that can be brought to bear on solving problems in the world. There are lots of philanthropists in the world, with lots of money.

Yes, those things are true. There are also people over there, and their participation matters at least as much as (and I would argue much more than) that of the wealthy elite.

In the case of the "carbon-sucking gizmo", the cure is worse than the disease. Even Branson-level cash can't change thermodynamics and evolution.

The Virgin Challenge finalists are conspicuously absent in their energy and land use analyses. I expect they suffer from the same problems as previous CCS "solutions" — energetically they can't compete with simply shutting down a coal plant, and in land use they can't compete with reseeding farmland to forest. So when you understand why those simpler methods aren't done, you'll understand the finalist's actual scaling problem.

It all washes out in the lifecycle analysis. Anything else is feel-good.
How do you choose who to pay and how much?
I'm a cheap guy, just pay:

- iwantmyname for domains, a suckless register

- digital ocean for testing (vps)

- chicagovps.net for long term services (vps)

- pagekite, localhost for the world
He did not explicitly threaten me. However, because the administration pretty much just listens to what public safety says, things like enrollment were potentially at stake.[0,1] I was not willing to trade those potentials for a search that I knew would result in nothing.

[0] This is evidenced by the fact that my initial refusal was brought up later in a meeting with the administration.

[1] Imagine with me: officer assumes that my refusal implies possession of banned substance, uses refusal to file a report in that vein, two days later I'm force to prove to the administration that I didn't have the banned substance at the time. That's obviously impossible.

Edit: grammar.
I am the same way.
Sure! My startup, UtilityAPI.com, is an example of one that is targeting customer acquisition soft costs (10% of total installed cost). When you want to write a proposal for someone thinking about going solar, you need their utility usage and billing history. Collecting that data is currently a very time consuming and painful process, so not only do you spend a lot of man-hours on it, you also lose a huge portion of your funnel at this step.

We are building software that automates that utility data collection process, so solar companies can just bake it into their online forms/apps/internal tools. We estimate we can shave 5-10% off the installed price of solar due to time savings and increased conversion. The Department of Energy agreed and recently awarded us with $25k to build SDKs for our API (with the opportunity for $100k more in May)[1].

I think that most people do, and most people should - it's the principle of social proof at work. Most of us value this community, so we look to those who came before us to an article to signal if it's worth a read or not.

I think a better question is: what type of comments and discussion will lead you actually click through to the article?
Option 3 would be to leave. I don't have a lot of patriotism, but I also don't know where I'd go.
Title changed from "Boeing's force field patent".
The comments, for me, definitely add to the discussion but it is still the headline/link that catch my attention to read in the first place. My normal rule on the net, especially for things I write, is 'do not read the comments' except for HN... and Deadspin when the article is about a sport not widely played in the US. I learn a lot about the sport that way.
Not every Python user uses Django, you know.

I've worked on a number of software systems at several different organizations that have very effectively used Python 3 for years now. I think that Python 3 has been adopted perfectly fine by many other people and organizations, too.

We're just not overly vocal about using it, because it has worked for us with so little pain and so little effort in many cases. It really wasn't much different going from 2.7 to 3.0 or 3.1 than it was going from 2.6 to 2.7, for example.
I beg to differ. The hallmark of real intelligence / creativity will always be that they are eventually unforeseeable and uncontrollable. If you build something like that, you better have some “ethical subroutines” in store.
Oooo, that makes me want to use genetic algorithms just to see if I can come up with a great chess player... Is there an online tournament where I can match my algorithm against others?
I never got it to work. Multiple boxes, various problems. I was really sort of interested in building on it and liked the concept, but I ended up just tossing it in the end and syncing data via jungledisk and keeping a cloud drive with it.
This is kind of true. If you stick with it people eventually come around. I've been doing it for years. Dig it:

It's a more sane universe than yours it seems. And I'm going to keep it that way by excluding people like you from it if you can't tone down your aggresivity. I don't know what Gamergate is nor do I know Adria Richards and I don't intend to know all the victims in this world. /ignored
Because governments collect road tax from gasoline as an approximate usage fee. As EVs become a measurable part of traffic, they require a replacement.
I am very interested in spending cryptocurrency using my MasterCard, especially and only if it does not result in a capital gains transaction that I have to report on my taxes. If I have to report each transaction to the IRS, I am not interested and will not spend it. If I do NOT have to report it, I will use it all the time
So, a lot of staked addresses. That sounds like a good thing.
> This is almost a natural law of wealth. When you have significant capital, you can do things like loan it out with interest

It is a natural law of usury, which is what you describe. This is why we used to ban usury as unjust.
You're right. A dynamic USB mic is a solid and simple choice. Nothing wrong with that.

I don't have any resources for comparing the audio of airpods. Just personal experience and observation of other people's usage.

Not sure where the line noise would be coming from. Perhaps there's some RF or electrical noise that's being picked up from the computer. Computers can be super-noisy and introduce all kinds of RF and electrical interference, not to mention fan noise. Short of being far away from your computer or isolating it in a cabinet/faraday cage I'm not sure of the best way to prevent certain devices from picking up this noise. I can only cover it up or remove it after the fact.

Also, I was a little hasty in my statements. I was picturing this tutorial more on the spectrum of audio for Zoom calls and casual correspondence. If you're producing a professional video or something of high-production quality AirPods are not going to be ideal. I don't mean to discount your work. That's my mistake.
I'd suspect a bug in the NFS implementation. That would hardly be unheard of.

NFS's failure mode of freezing up your system and requiring a full reboot to clear is purestrain NFS though. I never understood why the idea of an eventual soft failure (returning a socket error) was considered unacceptable in NFS land.
Not just phishing attacks.

Compared to TOTP, U2F uses asymmetric cryptography to avoid using a shared secret design, which strengthens authentication against server-side attacks. Hardware U2F also sequesters the client secret in a dedicated single-purpose device, which even given the vulnerability described here still has a tiny fraction of the attack surface of a TOTP app and its general purpose host device.

Do you reject what the US ambassador wrote in Blood Telegram itself? As far as I have read, it wasn't that they created the situation, the genocide was already happening; they created a situation for an independent Bangladesh by supporting rebels.

Anything can be construed to be a safety issue. Spotify has no responsibility. It’s a dumb pipe and people can make up their own mind as to what to do with information they receive from content creators. If you think exchanging information is dangerous to the point that it requires censorship, then you’re arguing for authoritarianism and tyranny.
I have a large article about Li-Ion safety in the works, but because of the material I have not yet published it yet, it needs to be bullet proof first.
Yes but the expensive part of the locomotive is either the diesel generator or the equipment to take power from overhead wires (on-board inverters and the pantographs). It's not generally practical to convert one to another.
It’s not that a consumer can’t tell a business something - I would not advocate for that either. It’s that some people are preventing competing political voices from being heard. It’s that people with power (like Young) want to use their power to shut down others. I am not sure what you mean by “fascism via capitalism” but I don’t think the word “fascist” holds much meaning anyways, and hasn’t for a long time:

I don't agree. Occasionally there are lingering problems. Not very often in my experience.
That does happen, but less often than you're claiming here. Most of the time, it's easy to see how a comment violated the site guidelines or otherwise attracted downvotes. But it is less obvious to readers who agree with the comment, leading to the sensation that their views get unfairly downvoted.

There's still an interesting connection to unpopular opinions though: it's harder to express a contrarian view neutrally. Probably much harder actually.
Greetings! Is there anything a member of the public like me can do to help WebMIDI for Firefox along? e.g. testing or whatever? Thank you.
yeah, it's just too bad that black violates PEP-8.
Sure they may not be legally obligated but it's still their job. People perform non-governmental dangerous jobs without being legally obligated to do so.

The department can still fire an officer (assuming no union intervention) for failing to do their job, even if they can't be sued.
Knowing the key doesn't immediately mean that your access is authorized. This isn't equivalent to finding a $20 bill on the ground so there's not really any corollary to stumbling across it.
Or go to School, university or a movie?
I'm ancient and have been reading Sci-Fi my entire life. I just finished "The Darwin Elevator" (1st of 3 in a trilogy) and it was the most refreshing SF I've read in a least 10 years.
"1 in 1000 uninsured people die each year. It's not an exaggeration to say that due to the work we're doing here, 5,000-10,000 people will live to see the end of 2014. You should be proud of what you've done, but we should also all be grateful to have this opportunity."

Hospitals don't let uninsured people die and insuring people doesn't magically save their lives.
True, true - there was no web dev/web designer, no front end/back end... webmaster had to be a *nix admin, coder, HTML, graphic designer & security guy all rolled into one.
Just because something is interesting doesn't mean you should be doing it.

To put it another way, far off in the future, will you be satisfied with what you have done with your life?
Salaries and pensions are no joke either. I was reading about how recruitment works. It seems they have a relationship with many CS and Math professors who recommend bright students directly to NSA headhunters. I imagine working on some of the problems they do can be very exciting. Not everyone feels this need to publish publicly.

I find it hard to believe there's any sort of recruitment shortage. The NSA does today what it did 5, 10, 15, etc years ago. People interviewing for those positions know exactly what they're getting into then the same way they know what they're getting into today. The whole "OMGZ SPYING ON MY MAY-MAYS" sells on here on reddit, but apparantly lots of people don't take that view and instead see sigint as a legitimate need, like having a standing military with nuclear weapons or intervening into foreign countries. Arguably, good sigint means less conflicts and more wins. Hitler's Germany was damaged greatly by sigint hero Alan Turing. Funny how we celebrate Turing, but a modern Turing today would be vilified instantly. The world, if anything, is much more dangerous today than in the 30s considering how many nations have nuclear weapons. Honestly, if I had the choice I'd rather work there than find new ways to deliver annoying click-bait ads at a place like Facebook or get kids hooked on some milquetoast WoW-clone.

The Chinese, Iranian, and Russian sigint guys aren't taking some moral stand either. They're just getting their assess to work the same way we do.
The change from the gold standard is almost certainly a coincidence. Whether the dollar is backed by gold or government promises doesn't make businesses decide to give less money to their workers and more to their CEOs.

A much more relevant development in the 70s was the switch in economic policy priorities from demand-side to supply-side. Nixon was the first president who prioritized tax cuts, union busting, subsidies, and legalizing outsourcing to cheaper labor markets in China and SEA. Every government since has given corporations a blank check to cut labor costs by any means necessary to prioritize profit.
If anything I feel its more likely that they will face additional scrutiny. My understanding is the Democrats want more anti-trust laws, and are more likely to break up the big tech companies. Not sure how that might affect Twitter, but Apple, Google (Alphabet), Facebook, and Amazon are probably going to face a lot of additional issues.

Most grids have a rapid response system like this. They’ll have contracts with very large power consumers (think big hydro pumps, metal smelters etc) that can afford to have their equipment power down without notice in exchange for energy rebates.

Then when the frequency drops these consumers will automatically turn off their equipment to reduce power draw.

The seeing such a huge drop like this is extremely unusual, no doubt many systems immediately started load shedding (both voluntary and involuntary) to compensate
> Seems Romanias production fell under the consumption at around 15:30

But the incident started at 15:05, that was just a consequence of interconnects failing i think.
I thought that Facebook didn't allow for any unofficial clients, be it for Facebook itself or Facebook Messenger ?
"you are paying Apple to not abuse" you

That sounds like a familiar business model.

Granted I pay for an email service that could similarly abuse me.

I think the goal should be to create services/software that make it impossible for a company to abuse people, so we don't have to rely on their word, or have to worry about them changing their word later.
Isn't it encrypted ?
LocalDate is defined as the mean day since 4713 BC, yes.

This allows you to specify year, month, and day easily, and expose it as hebrew date, japanese date, julian date or gregorian date easily.

For a day relative to the current year, there’s a separate type.
And I believe they orbit around the set of self fulfilling prophecies described in books. Fibonacci or similar simple arithmetic range estimates, deviation from the mean, etc.
How do they provide that? Doesn’t that require you to use a proscribed server stack?
To what time period and what situation are you referring?
uBO static filters work fine as a replacement for most uM rules, except that you have to write them by hand instead of the convenient table UI that uM had.

Eg my static filters start with:

*$css,font,frame,media,object,ping,script,websocket,xhr
*$image,redirect=1x1.gif
*$csp=worker-src 'none'
@@*$1p,css,frame,image,script

! GitHub

!! github.com
@@||s3.amazonaws.com^$domain=github.com,websocket,xhr

The first three lines disable a whole bunch of things on all websites, then the fourth selectively re-enables some of them (@@ are exception rules) in 1p cases. Then for each web property I have a section that selectively re-enables more things for that web property's domains (exception rules with a domain= filter).

Eg the first rule in the GH section says that github.com is allowed to make websocket and XHR requests to s3.amazonaws.com. If that line wasn't there, the very first line's rule would've blocked it.

Notice that 1p JS appears to be enabled by the fourth line, but I actually have dynamic rules to prevent JS by default, unless enabled per site:

no-scripting: * true
no-scripting: github.com false

The reason I do this with dynamic rules instead of static filters is that uBO has the ability to simulate noscript tags on websites where it disabled JS, but it only does that when JS is disabled via the `no-scripting` dynamic rule, not when it's disabled via static filters.

The only thing that uM does and uBO doesn't is cookies, so I still use uM for that.
That doesn’t give you shiny graphs with no effort though.
can i use ffmpeg with h264_evenc to encode videos with it?
That's more relative than absolute expectations, or maybe you just know a lot of neurotic people.

Even if climate change is as bad as WW2 (doubtful over the same time scale), people still had children then, and they still had children when every city was covered in a foot of horse poop, all your kids died at 14 and doctors didn't believe in handwashing. In fact they had more!
You can’t limit the clients which connect; it’s an open protocol. If the data being stored in the rooms can’t be represented as text messages then you will see empty rooms - but the point of MSC1767 is to try to ensure that you do see a relatively meaningful representation of custom structured data even in a plaintext Matrix client. For instance a video game could have a bunch of KV state events in the room representing game objects. With MSC1767 they could have simple fallback representations visible in a generic Matrix client (eg “chair” or “door”) or more sophisticated HTML representations (eg an html table showing you that object’s name and spatial coordinates and velocities). Or a more sophisticated but generic matrix client might be able to map out generic 3D or 2D scenes without actually understanding the game specifics. Basically, think of the generic Matrix clients as acting as a debugger console which at least gives you some way to interact with a room - and lets generic bots/bridges interact for the simpler generic use cases like IM and VoIP.

That does not propagate to maven central (at least not that I know). So you have to add a custom repository. You can also use jitpack.io or rsync artifacts to your websiter (I've done both).
Valve is not, and has never been, for sale.

It's the "lifestyle company" of a bunch of Microsoft Millionaires, who wanted to have fun making games. Then they were in the right place at the right time to make Steam. There is no realistic point in their history when they would have both seemed to be this successful, and would have entertained buyout offers.
Usable IoC actually can be implemented in just 4-5 classes. Yes, it won't be as powerful as Guice but for some (or a lot?) of applications it's probably enough.

Looks cool but it'd be so much nicer if it wasn't only a Chrome plugin.

It really sucks that Chrome is becoming the monoculture of the web. People make plugins for it only and target it first for development. The web isn't just Chrome!
