Anyone aware of any promising client-side solutions for responsive images?

I'm hoping to see something like the picture element suggested here:

<picture alt="angry pirate">

<source src=hires.png media="min-width:800px">

<source src=midres.png media="min-width:480px">

<source src=lores.png>

<!-- fallback for browsers without support -->

<img src=midres.png alt="angry pirate">

</picture>

Would something like this be possible to implement with React or Web Components? Or will we have to wait for HTML6?

In my opinion, responsive images really shouldn't be a server-side concern, much less something that should require a third party service.
Well, I think a big part of why it's considered "lame" (if that) here in the States is primarily because these scooters made a HUGE hit among children about ten or fifteen years ago. So they are considered mostly for children. That being said, there is certainly a prejudice against some kinds of transportation that is considered "low class" or juvenile, like skateboards, mopeds, or public transportation, which is extremely unfortunate, as for most of my life it's all I had, and it's the same for many Americans without the luxury of a fancy automobile.
Every time I read about this awful case I am reminded how happy I am to have left Java behind. Yes as a developer this makes no difference to me in any practical way but it did put an awkward and uncomfortable cloud over the Java framework for me. Using a language owned by a company who does this kind of thing just didn't feel "right" and I disliked knowing I was [indirectly] supporting Oracle by using Java.
Yeah I agree. I'm not sure about the specifics of their product but with mine I can't spend too much time on each SMB because the return isn't high enough to compensate for a complex sales effort.

I'm not sure this is what Beltiras is referring to, but in the privacy FAQ for Windows speech, inking, and typing [1], it says this:

"When you interact with your Windows device by speaking, writing (handwriting), or typing, Microsoft collects speech, inking, and typing information—including information about your Calendar and People (also known as contacts)—that helps personalize your experience. This information improves your device’s ability to correctly recognize your input, such as your pronunciation and handwriting. You can turn the Speech, inking, and typing setting (which is called Getting to know you) on or off in Settings.

Note: If you want to use Cortana, you must have Getting to know you turned on.

We also collect your typed and handwritten words to improve character recognition and provide you with a personalized user dictionary and text completion suggestions. Some of this data is stored on your device and some is sent to Microsoft to help improve these services. You can turn the Send Microsoft info about how I write setting on or off in Settings."

Is this fair? I mean, you lose power because you have less shares. The share price is only part of the investing story.

I too got rid of Windows as soon as I graduated. It's been a nice feeling.
Discussions about differences in behavior among versions of Windows would not be as informative as a discussion of Windows in comparison to other OS's. Ubuntu bounces stuff off Canonical servers, iOS off Apple's iTunes and in-the-wild Android...well where to begin?

Facilitating high connectivity is what modern mass market operating systems do and Microsoft is playing catchup not leading a charge against anonymity. They couldn't if they wanted to. The commercial internet is built on tracking individuals and their behavior. I guess everyone would feel better if the Windows splash screen said "This OS Uses Cookies, by Continuing You Agree to Our TOS."

You’re Still Modeling Growth Incorrectly
I don't think your argument is correct. That is the whole point of portfolio theory:

OK, the main page lacks information.

https://www.presslabs.com/gitfs/docs/usage/

https://www.presslabs.com/gitfs/docs/arguments/

So apparently you can mount remotes, not only local .git dirs. This is really handy and it should be listed on the main page, really.

I raises an other question: can I mount remotes where I don't have write access read-only?

For the directory structure the history directory makes sense for mounted projects that are edited with gitfs. For other projects, not so much. What about having a read only tags/ and commits/ directory too?
Business Networking Event South Wales Hero Business Club
Both Ecuardor and the SPA blame the other side for the delay.

It is worth reiterating the facts of the case:

1. The Swedish prosecutor refused to question Assange in London for the last 3 years.

2. Sweden’s Court of Appeal rebuked the prosecutor Marianne Ny in November 2014 for breaching her duty to progress the preliminary investigation.

3. The prosecutor only changed her mind in March this year which left little time to resolve these difficulties.
It is dilution but doesn't necessarily reduce the price the stock trades at. That depends on how confident investors are that the money will be spent wisely.
This is why MS was wise to create their own “MS Java”, named C# (when Sun still existed). I wouldn't want to depend on Oracle for anything.
I work in the space. Oracle gets picked because is perceived as "safe" by executives, because they have armies of people you can shout at when things go wrong (not that it will solve anything, but executives usually enjoy it).

In addition, their portfolio is so vast that any large business will likely have something else that can be leveraged in any discussion ("don't like our db pricing? Let me cut the renewal price of this other product you bought last year. Or what if I throw in a few licenses of that other product you were already evaluating?"). This also allows one good product to cover for the shortcomings of others ("ok, this project failed horribly, but that other thing last year was hot stuff! You got to give us another chance!").

Of course, they already are on the list of approved vendors, so there is no bureaucracy or exposure for whoever signs the purchase order. CYA rules.

If you want to get really technical, however, most Oracle products will just "tick all boxes". They might not be the best option, the fastest one or the easiest to maintain (and they are never the cheapest), but they're likely the most feature-complete. For example, the db: want multiple active-active instances? can do. Active-passive? can do. Multiple names for same instance? can do. Multiple instances on same box? can do. Cross-platform? can do. Working without DNS? can do. Objects? can do. XML? Can do. Your company has weird storage requirements? No prob. Maintenance tools? More than you will ever use. And so on and so forth. On paper (which is where executives live), it's hard to justify anything else; problems only come up when you actually try to use the beast.

From the perspective of fact finding and evidence collecting, the case was for all practical purposes finished August 31, 2010. The last interview occurred that day which was with Assange, and there he was told of the charges against him which was when he then told his side of the story. All this could be read in the news papers a few days later thanks to the leaked investigation documents.
the problem for me (and people like me) is that I'm running a gaming / game dev rig. I actually need Windows as most of the games I play are windows only - plus my current rig is way more powerful than any mac I can afford. I love linux and attempted to dev my games in pygame so that I would only need Windows to play games, but this isn't a good solution either as I prefer Unity.

I don't have a Windows 10 box near me but I remember an option to send typing data back to Microsoft, which I switched off. I see they have a short FAQ about it too: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/speech-inking-...

"Go to Start, then select Settings > Privacy > General, and then turn Send Microsoft info about how I write to help us improve typing and writing in the future on or off."

Does anyone know if this stops Windows 10 from sending typing data across?

Markets are inefficient and frequently overvalue/undervalue companies. Lots of companies in tech and biotech are overvalued right now including Tesla.

I haven't valued Tesla since 2013 but it was overvalued then so it went into the "nope" pile and I haven't looked at it again since.
Particularly since he could still appeal back to the UK if Sweden tried to extradite him.

Also weird this wasn't an argument he brought up while fighting the initial extradition to Sweden.
It is fairly clear that there is an ongoing US investigation into Wikileaks and Assange.

Whilst this is ongoing, there would be risk of US extradition requests were he to leave the embassy (to Sweden or elsewhere). His best strategy is therefore to stay in the embassy for now.
Or, one could argue that Ecuador changed the deal when Sweden finally took them up on the offer.

(I don't have a dog in this fight, I just find the whole situation interesting.)
Minority Report, here we come.

Incrementalism is a powerful tool for exerting an unstoppable force onto something which would otherwise notice that force and resist it.
In principle whoever holds TSLA at $238 does so because they think it's worth more than that. And they are being diluted, the intrinsic value of their shares is now worth less than before the capital increase. Stock holders who find TSLA overvalued should be happy, but I don't think there are many of those.
(Edit: I don't disagree with the parent comment, the effect on the stock price will be because people will re-evaluate the company and not because of the new shares themselves, which by the way are not priced yet. I was addressing the dilution part of GP's questions).
Comparing framework size directly is not very meaningful. For example Bustle.com, already running Ember 2.0 today, sits at:

* 155K of vendor JS (Ember, jQuery, addons)
* 76K of app JS

Artsy.net is a universal/isomorphic JS website using Backbone. Backbone is maybe a tenth the size of Ember, maybe. Their homepage payload sits at:

* 26K jQuery
* 6K raven JS
* 127K analytics JS
* 300K main layout JS
* 274K homepage app JS
* + stripe

Now I also think Artsy does a lot more than Bustle, to be fair. However the point is that framework size is only a part of the story. The complexity of your code, how you ship it, and how concisely the framework lets you express a design are all extremely impactful.

Ember gives you a big bang for your buck with that 108K (a minified, gzipped 2.0). In practice not many people find this to be the main performance hurdle in their apps, but regardless we're working toward smaller payloads (something we call "svelte builds") and better initial execution performance (https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/pull/11576).

Worth remembering also that the reason Sweden wanted to extradite for questioning is that if they charged him first they would have been required to actually make the evidence public and Assange could then have defeated the extradition request by showing his behavior was not a crime under British law.

Apologists for Sweden never seem to have read the UK high court judgment or seem familiar with the actual legal reasoning behind the extradition request. To secure extradition, the Swedish prosecutor needed to insist that Assange was only wanted for questioning (else they should charge) but since questioning alone is not a sufficient basis for extradition requests they also needed to state it was extremely likely Assange would be arrested once questioned.

It is of course nonsensical for the Swedes to refuse to question Assange in London if speaking to him were at all material to the case. As such, their refusal to do so speaks plainly to the obviously political nature of the persecution.
> the balls collect a rim of sludge more easily

Not sure if that's a massive issue, that would probably seal the water off even more effectively. That makes me think that this whole balls idea will limit gas exchange too, i.e. much reduced oxygen absorption, but I guess if they want no life in the reservoir that's not an issue.

Overall though I can't help feeling like there are going to be some significant unintended consequences with this scheme.
There will probably be lesser frameworks in the future.

Everyone is converging to components based development and web-components are a standard, so they will be more similar than with the "we do our own idea of MVC" in the past.
Linus Torvalds shit all over Ubuntu for the feature (and rightly so)... but I don't see the need to boycott the system (as he does) since it is fairly easy to disable.

edit: just wanted to mention that when I first installed ubuntu I forgot to disable the feature, performed some very innocuous searches, and was shown loads of porn results from Amazon. That alone makes the feature completely worthless and frankly dangerous (depending on the environment that you're using ubuntu in).
Maybe they are, Tesla has a lot of short interest.

Because the market can stay irrational far longer than you can stay solvent...

Saying that a share is overvalued against its "intrinsic" value is not saying the share is overvalued or will go down, it's just saying that it's currently being priced with an expectation the company will be worth more in the future.
However this will turn out (for now it looks like the source not very trustworthy) I wonder if there's a small little tool you can install on a fresh Windows 10 that will let you disable all the various privacy related setting in one screen. Just a list of checkboxes with short descriptions of the setting and what feature you will lose when disabling it.
>Well, you simply have different assumptions than some (most?) of us. For me, "man" and "woman" mean biological sex, not gender

Um no, my view isn't an assumption. Gender isn't sex. People don't call a boy a man or a girl a woman. Maybe US western culture assumes sex = gender but the rest of the world has some form of distinction from sex (biological) and gender (social).

>Also, for me, a "name" is about the least personal thing about myself - it's what others call me, so it's inherently a cultural thing that depends on the social contract. For example, if you change your name without a good reason, most people would simply assume you're trying to run away from your past or avoid justice.

In our US western culture a name is a name whether given or self-attributed. No one demands Prince or Madonna to give their legal names. We know them by those names in terms of their public actions. If I greet myself as Veronica it's safe to assume that is my name. It doesn't require a background check in a social setting like a party or a meetup. It's not like I'm looking to get a security clearance.

Also, there's no such thing as a good reason to change one's name. You just change it for your reasons. The good and bad about it is merely a subjective valuation of the act of the change. It has no bearing in terms of the character of the person. If you can't just accept my name is Veronica upon first meeting then maybe you're just a jerk?
Are you aware that 25% of TSLA's float is short? That's insanely high.
download 'exe' ? Oh my God!
You agreed to the privacy terms, so you are at the mercy of whatsoever Microsoft implemented. Windows 10 even could totally ignore your settings.

I say this, not because I think that this is OK, but to reflect, that even the change of the settings do not save you from the harm, that was done from the privacy terms!

Why downvoted? When you disagree, than give arguments, not gutless clicks!
He wasn't leaving Sweden to avoid US extradition at that point. If I recall correctly, Wikileaks was particularly busy at that time working with the Guardian on several large stories. Hence, Assange would want to be in London for that reason.
If that's the case, this is the rare case for your money to actually go to the company. Unless you're buying shares "directly" from the company (ignoring the middle-man for now), the company never sees your money. So if you want to do that, now's the time (or if you think they'll have another public offering in the future, wait, I guess).
Linux is totally ok for a desktop, I would say much better than anything else! You have several desktop environments you can choose from and you can customize it to make it work exactly like you want it to. Once everything setup to your liking, the configuration can be easily copied to any other system because it is just files in your $HOME folder.

If you are a Hacker, you will be overwhelmed by the great amount of development tools that are much easier to handle than on any other system.

There are very few reasons nowadays not to use Linux.

If you've decided that Erlang is the right system to use, isn't it good to know how to -when needed- design the fastest Erlang code possible?

The existence of another language that creates faster programs doesn't make the task of optimizing software written in the slower language irrelevant.

Make sense? :)

And, I mean, languages like Erlang make writing software to solve certain classes of problems far easier than if one were using straight C. What's more, Erlang lets you plug in code written in other languages, so you can keep the very logically tricky stuff in Erlang, and do the perf-critical stuff in -say- C.
lol digg. That's still around?
Facilitating high connectivity is what modern mass market operating systems do

That's a bold claim, considering that until recently Windows was exactly what you used if you didn't want that kind of always-online emphasis and instead wanted to retain a degree of control and running your software locally.

Like many of the software companies moving in user-hostile directions, Microsoft's biggest competition is still themselves from a few years ago. And we know from both Vista and 8 that even Microsoft do not automatically have sufficient influence to get people to upgrade to a system that is perceived as being worse than what everyone already had.

[Edit: Perhaps instead of numerous people downvoting, someone could actually reply and say what they object to about this post? I don't think either my characterisation of Windows or my characterisation of Microsoft's competitive situation is unreasonable.]

When you tell OS X to shut up, it does. (It phones home as much as you heard or maybe even more so, but you can stop it from doing so too.) Dunno about Windows, I avoid using it for everything besides 3D or LabVIEW.

Could you explain why you wouldn't consider Linux for the desktop? Wine isn't horrible, if you want Windows compatibility, and it offers a huge range of functionality otherwise. It's the best platform for compiling and running stuff, for sure.
The article starts off well. It highlights the unquestioning use of video for online courses, and imagines better ways to promote learning. It goes on to cite a report called "Video and Online Learning: Critical Reflections and Findings From the Field" and discuss 3 recommendations from that report. This was getting interesting.

Unfortunately, 2 of the 3 recommendations were about how to do video. "Make the Best Use of Video as a Medium" and "Consider Lightweight and DIY Approaches" to making video.

Thought I was going to get some insight here. Turned out to be quite disappointing.
I agree, the main page is a little bit outdated.
You can mount remotes with where you have only read access, gitfs will fail to push something on the remote, and will put the entire repository in read-only. Right now, you don't have a read-only option, but it would be nice to have :)
Great idea about tags and commits directories. It would be nice to specify at mount point, if you also want tags and/or commits etc.

You can fork it https://github.com/PressLabs/gitfs and start hacking around.
