This is such a boring, off-topic argument. No one that you're responding to even argued that Twitter can't lawfully do it. Merely that this is a bad way for them to choose to behave.

If I ask an alcoholic if he really wants to spend his days in a drug induced stupor, a good rebuttal would not be "Well he has every right to do that".
Nice job. More templates and integrate some color scheme templates and you've got a winner.
Is there already a company that tied the 'donated' cpu power to a real product with revenue/profit to a crypto currency?

I mean all these hashes are nice and all, but the little magic math hash.. is about as valuable as a painting. Whatever the idiot gives for it.

Imho, if there is a real product developed with the donated cpu power in exchange for crypto coins which stand for a money value in relation to the developed product/medicine etc.

Like combining distributed computing, crypto currency and a product (e.g. medicine) which we could all benefit from. And those miners aren't simply wasting electricity.

Yes i consider bitcoin, and sort in current form, mining a waste of electricity.
Having the choice between 100% certain doom and 95% certain doom, I'd go for the second. Just not very enthusiastically.
Their $100 / app, up to 10 apps per developer account "Keep the Cash" promotion made that very popular. Nokia's DVLUP program rewards people for apps with high numbers of 5-star reviews, so there are a lot of developers swapping 5-star reviews of these junk apps.
The problem with relying on donations is that people don't make donations.
As a UK employer, that'd be a straight ticket to an HMRC investigation and severe penalties, possibly jail. Employing people illegally, "off the books", is treated as a serious thing here.
meaningless reification of 'the internet'... the current secrecy debate is no more about the internet than Watergate was about tape recorders
Yup, > roadmap :)
For the same quoted sentence (@relistan):

1. avoid dynamic allocations (limit yourself to stack-only objects) and you'll get rid of those fears for memory management

2. limit yourself to functional programming and you'll get a pretty good concurrent-ready code

For this "I need a new language" stance you'll need some better reasons.
He's a lawyer and a politician. Do you not think he could argue the exact opposite if he was in power?

I think the problem is that your post doesn't read as if you're very well informed. You complain about apple-specific "tags" in a nebulous, hand-wavey manner, and all I can imagine is that you're actually talking about vendor-specific CSS properties.

And there's the problem: you're complaining about what you think is a violation of the CSS spec by making a reference to a mechanism and practice that was deliberately baked into it.

The authors of the CSS spec specifically accommodated vendor-specific extensions to give browser authors a place to work on supporting emerging abilities that are still in a state of flux. It's a special namespace where features are allowed to incubate. When these relevant standards leave draft status and become 'candidate recommendations', then a simple change will allow browser vendors to support whatever CSS property syntax is approved. When this happens, updating content on the web is an extremely easy change. This mechanism allows browser vendors and spec writers to work concurrently without creating a mess.

So, it's kind of funny that you're complaining about this when Apple is actually doing the right thing according to the letter and spirit of the spec:

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keywords

Edit to head your next objection off at the pass: Yes, the spec also suggests that "authors should avoid vendor-specific extensions". This is a message to web developers, not browser developers. Apple does not want a web where every CSS file has "-webkit-" properties in it. They want these emerging standards to be ratified so that the vendor-specific properties can graduate to an official, approved syntax.
Saying ideas are "worthless" is a hyperbolic way to put things. Why can't people say "an idea's relative importance is not as big as many people think."

I think Derek Sivers puts it nicely, it is a multiplier (but yes you need to execute in the first place): http://sivers.org/multiply
An idea that's the right goal or vision for me probably wont be the right one for you. What makes an idea good for me is who I am. Pursuing a great idea for making a better stove is probably not the right goal for me. But it was for Fred Carl, who founded Viking Range.

Dreams, visions, goals are specific to the right people.
You'd be hard pressed to come up with an idea so bad that
it couldn't succeed with the right execution. And it would
be even harder to imagine a great idea that couldn't fail
if the execution were left to morons.

Ideas are worthless. Execution is everything.

Words to live by. I often have to re-evaluate my own thinking because I tend to fall into the trap of waiting for a better idea.
You should try looking at many more linux and embedded shops. Many weren't hit that hard by the downturn. (But good luck finding a job wherever you seek).
If it cost $500 to register a domain name, I never would have started doing web development. Now it's what I mainly do for a living. I don't think that's the right solution.
"And the cucumber rose to hit the gardner" -- folklore
This is a fantastic post by Scott.

I think the great idea fallacy continues because it appeals to people's fantasy of becoming successful without much work.

Anyone can imagine themselves having a great idea and then being successful. It's a lot harder (and less pleasant) to imagine taking an unremarkable idea and spending years of hard work to make it succeed.
Btw, have you read this: https://async.rs/blog/stop-worrying-about-blocking-the-new-a... async-std allows to run blocking calls without hoops rather efficiently:

async fn read_to_string(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> io::Result<String> {
std::fs::read_to_string(path)
}

It doesn't have await inside! My mind was blown as I saw that.
Then the numbers are too low to draw conclusions.
The elephant in the room is that military budget has to keep going up ("support the troops", create jobs and satisfy lobbyists) but there is no good goal to work towards. Great things happened in the 1940s to 70s because there were clear enemies and clear steps to take to gain and keep superiority. Today the US has a military budget three times bigger than that of the next largest spender, and everything necessary to fulfill the current challenges already exists and is in operation. So you spend the rest to prepare for the future, but with no external pressure to do so fast or efficiently.
Who said at 30k feet? At low levels, that's what people are planning for, yes.

> We can build cool shit, but our government and most companies don't optimize for that.

ARPA was always kind of a jobs program, but nonetheless it created the internet at the same time as NASA was putting a man on the moon, the government was successfully building the interstate highways and Bell Labs was Bell Labs instead of whatever it is now.

Today we get the F-35 and the Big Dig and whatever other money furnace du jour that consumes more resources than the space race but has yet to put a single human on Mars or make fusion work or cure cancer or whatever else things it could have done but hasn't.

Something's different.

You can't go to jail for losing $400 million, you can go to jail for stealing it. You are implying that he has committed a some real crime beyond incompetence?
I'm a PhD student in Sweden. I'm expected to work 20% of my time for the University (teaching duties, conference organisation, mentoring new phd students). I'm getting payed a little bit lower than what the industry would pay. It's possible that salaries in the industry would also raise quicker. My PhD is supposed to take 4 years of research, but add in the 20% and you have 5 years.

I have very high job security and a salary that's a bit lower than a coder/consultant starting salary. Also, my work is much more interesting (to me) than what it would have been out there. It's a great deal for me, but YMMV.
My understanding is that you're never guaranteed RC funding and, also, the cost of doing so is that you have to do the research particular to that grant; so you've either got to hope for something related to your field, or go for something close enough to keep you interested. I've heard (sorry: no citations) that here in the UK, around 60% of PhDs are actually self-funded -- to pay the tuition fees, mostly -- and while I don't know the breakdown, that also includes research in the sciences. The upside of self-funding is that you're free to research what you want, within reason (i.e., it's actually worthwhile, the university agrees and you can find a supervisor, etc.)
No, I think the vectorized versions are much better but yeah, Boo is the best one.
Netware too, but that was in the eighties.
Undergrad for free == interesting and not all that common (though does happen elsewhere in EU, e.g. Austria)

PhD for free != interesting, I'm paid a tax-free stipend (UK) which also covers tuition fees (same for MSc). There are "self-funded" positions advertised but it's generally junior faculty trying their luck for overseas students. I've never heard of anyone actually paying out of their own pocket for PhD study in the EU.
Yea, that is a tricky part. Most of the video encoding services can be configured to take a thumbnail at the beginning, at a user determined point, or every X seconds.

In my use case,I don't necessarily have any reason to have the entire video encoded and it adds an unnecessarily complicated structure.

Currently I just take a thumbnail .1 second in (this also allows me to utilize minimal bandwidth since I don't download the entire video), but it should be fairly easy to add a parameter
This reminds me of the discussions between Tarsnap and Patio11 - basically, charge more and create tiered pricing. Even if the only difference between one of the tiers is having your phone number.

I will need 4 monitors when my project is complete and I would happily pay $49 per month for that peace of mind.
good point - when I was initially writing this post (I'm the original author) I was planning to include a section discussing "the Hilbert questions" in mathematics. These questions not only guided the field, but just the conversation which preceded it was likely what catalyzed lots of the developments in 20th century math.

I think biology is ripe for such a discussion. We just need to convince people that it's worth having!
Nice bookmarklet! I have one quick suggestion. The font size and color on the results page make it very hard to read. Please increase size and switch from grey and light blue to black and darker blue.
I've experienced a similar issue with my 2012 iMac: after waking from sleep, I find that all of my terminal tabs are in a "Restored" state, so the history is correct, but anything running ends up detached. It's frustrating, and only started happening with Yosemite.
To point out, the Android private dns feature is DNS over TLS (853), not DNS over Https. So this wouldn't have worked.

That said, the Android private dns feature is incredibly simple to use, applies to VPNs, and is the best implementation I've seen.

Currently I use it with NextDns, and this post makes me wonder if a TLS to DNS module for nginx, or some proxy, exists...
Too many variables to give a good answer here.

Most of the advantages you list are about testing, not testing before coding, which is what I was curious about.

The static disappeared with the transition to DTV, not the switch away from CRTs. Analog signals can be "fuzzy", digital signals are either received or not.
I think your point could be stated better but the sentiment behind is worth exploring. If the economy collapses there will certainly be an increase in misery, spousal and child abuse, suicides, and murders. This may be a time where hard choices need to be made. Maybe we really are confronted with a "lesser of two evils" type situation.
I dont think there was any link to Fox News. Can you source why you think that is the case?

"Assange Trial" gets far more interest from an international audience. A previous post title "The Alex Salmond Trial and Censorship" did not get any traction whereas this post is accumulating upvotes fast.
We haven't reached shortages and such yet - and we also would have to have food scarcity for a long time to change the habits of Americans.

This will be "real" food scarcity, not the stuff manufactured by the left and the media, with food deserts and all. I haven't seen fresh beef or chicken and the grocery stores for two weeks now.

I doubt we'll get to the point of our grandparents and great grandparents, where they didn't waste anything when it came to food because they grew up during the depression.

But it will be a net positive for the country to go back to cooking their own meals, generally eating healthier, and eating less calories overall. The USA doesn't need to be in the top of the lists of obesity.

There may be casualties in the food and restaurant industry. But in a way we reached peak food with how ridiculous some places and prices were becoming.
Indeed, years ago I heard about Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship and was amazed at how difficult it was to find an English translation of it.
This has nothing to do with the Assange trial... can we get the title changed?
For me, a non-native English speaker, it added value.

It is not a common word, I didn't know, and the way the GP included it was explanatory. Having "tenant" there would be very confusing, now, I just learned one more interesting.

In a post about writing, that's even on-topic.
Doesn’t this also mean people need to go to the grocery store more often? Surely this is not safe.
You won't find the reason in any public court document, nor will asking the populace involved reveal the real intent because the reason such puppeteers give their intermediaries, often different reasons to different intermediaries, is never the real purpose behind surveillance. Much targeted surveillance using human agents becomes interference of some sort by those same agents. Often when surveillance becomes interference, the puppeteers tell their intermediaries they're trying to "help" the mark, but in reality, they're only pretending because the real intent of anyone behind this type of activity is always to harm. I experienced this when someone up here tried to shunt me out of work teaching college students and into work teaching children, telling people I should do the work that pays the most. They pretended to be helping so they would appear to be "good guys" to their intermediaries, but their puppeteers were really conducting harmful manipulation for their own ends. They ultimate reason behind surveillance, whether one-to-one or broadcasted "fatwas", seems to be to protect free cash flows, or maintain power structures, and what not.
That's crazy, I had no idea.

It seems like it could almost be used as an alternative to Font Awesome... but while they're obviously intended for use in private apps on Apple platforms, there's no indication I can find you're allowed to export/subset them to your own webfont to use on any website.

Not that I assume Apple would search/care in practice, but it would be cool if it were officially sanctioned.
If you can measure you don't have to imagine.
How does that relate to a 6x return?

I think the idea (buying LEGO as an investment) is stupid but your argument doesn’t even match the numbers he mentioned.
I switch back and forth from time to time. For a while I like dark until I get bored with it. Then I switch to light until I get bored.
mosh by default doesn't support native scrollback. The way mosh is implemented (by default at least) is to just paint the screen locally with the remote "view".

If you try to scroll back in your terminal locally (literally scroll up with a mouse/trackpad), it will scroll up your local terminal instead of scrolling up in the remote view. So your scrollback is literally capped at the vertical height of your local terminal window.

This is super annoying if you want to see long output of a previous command or even see what the output was of the command you ran five minutes ago.

ET solves this by basically doing ssh under the hood. So you have real scrollback by default. It's REALLY nice and is one of the primary reasons I use ET.

---

As far as tmux control mode, in essence, it allows you to control tmux via your native terminal commands. On iTerm for example, you can use the key command to vertically split the (iTerm) terminal and tmux will actually hijack that command it do it in tmux. So you can use your native terminal multiplexing commands instead of the tmux key commands.

I only know of iTerm 2 that supports this functionality, just as a heads up.
> Professional Project with non-clojure(script) backend - no.

Allow me to offer a contradicting point of view. On my last project we used Elixir on the backend and Clojurescript (with re-frame) on the frontend.

Best decision we've ever took. We were orders of magnitude more productive than we would've been with Javascript. And we were all beginners to Clojure at the time.

Re-frame is a beast. Not having to deal with Javascript and its ecosystem is an absolute relief. Once you use Hiccup for the first time, you'll never want to use JSX ever again.

So yeah, if it's a new project in my opinion it is worth exploring Clojurescript, even if you don't plan on using Clojure.
I worked in this industry briefly - I'm pretty sure a wework successor or several will come out of it very successful, without the baggage that Adam Neumann brought, because the model is smart.

The basic model is to take distressed real estate, chop it up, sublease it and use some of the money to set up a mid high end space with plug and play offices, community events and a doorman. It works, but it is not easy to execute properly.

Yet again, reminded of the dismal fact that I can go several years before being reminded of the US’s 3800 warheads, Russia’s 4300, and China’s 300.

I think step 1 is to decommission both the land and air missiles and bombs, and leave only the SSBN missile submarines.

Generally, find a club, or group, or forum that specializes in whatever vehicle you have. But, Fred & Augie only made 444 Duesenbergs, so I would start with the ACD museum to get a recommendation for someone who could look it over for you and show you the quirks. Leno’s YouTube channel has several videos about them to start you off. Trivia: they were all
made in the same year, but the depression struck, and so they were all sold and titled over the following decade.
Yes, private enterprises can employ editors and still be the first draft of history.

If the OP’s point is that editors aren’t needed to publish at scale....yes....that’s been true since at least 2006.

Waiving copyright protection for FAANG wouldn't let you get at the content of the platforms - it'd just give you some poorly-debugged code for running your own platform.

What you're asking for is some kind of legally-mandated interoperability between platforms.

I agree, but as an x399 2990WX will be the end of the line and therefore no reason to lower the prices, like was the case with 4790k. 2990WX loses many benchmarks to 3900x, 3960x should demolish it most of the time.

Reinforcement learning might be a good use case for 2990WX.

Jay has a huge stake in this, of course.

http://www.patentproperties.com/

He is also the guy who created walker digital.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_Digital (look under "patent lawsuits and disputes")

Despite his claims, he is in fact, a troll - he buys broad patents completely unrelated to his company solely for the purpose of suing deep-pocket companies for infringement.

He has 719 patents, and cares heavily about monetizing them, having sued almost everyone under the sun.

He sued Facebook for friending, for example.

He realizes he is finally starting to lose the war, and writes pieces like this because he is afraid trolls like him are starting to finally get what they deserve.

(Jay certainly is a smart guy, and he is certainly an innovative entrepreneur. I take serious issue with his business models around patents, though)

The problem is that one-time hacks have a nasty habit of living on and becoming long-lived systems. And it can be hard to explain to users / business owners that just because it appears to work doesn't mean it's "already done".

Writing quick hack code is a good thing if you are in an organization that is disciplined enough to throw it away after you've learned from it.
