Well that's just silly. There are plenty of high profiles apps out there with many users who have a set of known domains that their app will need to connect to. As an example, Facebook, will never push a config update that points their app do a domain other than Facebook. Most big apps will likely have backend mitigation for problems like DDoS. You're right that most apps don't hardcode URLs, but most configs also don't update domains to something completely unexpected on a regular basis. Also, even if you enable ATS on specific domains and you need to point your config elsewhere, following Google's instruction, that will mean your new endpoint no longer enforces ATS, which is still better than having disabled ATS for every URL in your app for all users from the start.

Agreed, that's what I would choose as well, but would the people that are already homeless make that decision as well?

It seems like part of getting someone off the street is building a support system to help them stay on the path to recovery. If you establish that system in the bay area (maybe with local friends, family, social workers, etc) and then ship that person out of the city or state, what are the chances that they will return to homelessness when things get tough?

And therein lies the problem with node. Its great for rapid prototyping, but things fall apart pretty quickly with CPU laden tasks. That and the whole single threaded thing with node (technically JS) can be a wrecking ball when one task takes too long.
yes, one thing you've got right - a lot of assholes on the road thinking that it is the other people around them who are shitty drivers. These assholes look the same today when i drive a hybrid as they looked before when i drove a sporty V8.
OK, then add "and take reasonable breaks" to the amendment.

Stopping for 20-30 minutes every 150 miles or so isn't a burden for most people. Some people really like to push. But you really should be stopping that long, that often, regardless of what you're driving. People don't always do it, but they should.

As I mentioned in a comment elsewhere, the impact of charging time really depends on what you do in that time. If you can time your charging to coincide with a meal, for example, then the actual penalty from charging is zero. If you're doing a 400 mile road trip and you can make your supercharging stop your lunch stop, then you'll lose less time to charging than you'd lose to filling the tank of a gas car. Obviously that's a big if and it's not at all guaranteed, but the point is that this isn't an absolute, and "30 minutes to charge" shouldn't be thought of as being the equivalent of "30 minutes to fill the gas tank."

Personally I love long trips in the Model S. Part of that is just because the car is extremely comfortable and easy to drive, which makes long trips much less tiring. I'm sure that would come with other cars in that price range too, so not something that's exclusive to Tesla. The extra charging time has not so far been at all an issue. I've made three trips beyond the range of the car in the six months I've had it, and my total time spent waiting for the car to charge is zero. I'm sure that will start to become non-zero when I want to do, say, 500 miles in a day, but I still look forward to longer trips in it more than I did in my previous cars.

> The type system helps you enforce useful invariants in your code and can make verification easier, but it's completely orthogonal to how you can prove programs correct.

That's true for Java. Haskell, OTOH, constructs the entire language around verification through types and pure functions, and everything else is secondary. I don't know if the connection to C-H was made later or was a conscious design decision, but the result is the same from the user's perspective.

> Theorem provers based on C-H are general-purpose logics that can be used for a lot more than just program verification

We've discussed this before, and I believe those uses are too niche for the Haskell approach to gain any significant traction.

> You can show that, quite literally, any "true property" of a program in your more complicated language is also true of the corresponding program in your simpler language.

Of course, but that is only useful if a human programmer writing in the more "complicated" (by your definition) language would use the "simpler" subset, which, by my definition, she wouldn't do.

> There's no need to solve the much, much harder (and poorly specified) problem of "what is easiest for humans".

It's not a mathematical problem with a clear solution, and therefore requires no robust specification -- just like architecture (of buildings), or any other UI design problem. We learn what works through trial and error and try to do better.

I find it hard to accept the point of view which considers UI to be a methematical puzzle, or, alternatively, that doesn't recognize programming languages as UIs.

> but that's an entirely different problem independent of semantic considerations.

From a UI design perspective, you can't separate the two, because if the user fails to interact with the machine well, you don't know if it's a matter of design or presentation unless you empirically test it.

This is a false comparison since even most industrial jobs have machinery which does the heavy lifting and most dangerous part of production (I know from personal experience). As for how women work in an office it largely depends on the job and the social norms in the office. I've seen women act as cut throat as the men in some offices and I've seen men work toward consensus in others. It's not biology that drives the behavior patterns at jobs it's the factors of production: the input, the tools, and the desired output. Everything else is an accident of history.

the market maker selling order book information for high prices

In 2015, at most exchanges dealing in US equities, the "market maker" is reading the same tape as everyone else hooked up to the exchange. Your scenario is literally selling access to the outdated output of an API to which non-outdated output is available for the usual subscription fee. This sounds far-fetched. I also think anyone who believes this scenario to be plausible has an idea of what "order book information" contains which is likely not an accurate representation of what they actually expose over the wire. (It's like folks who think Facebook sells customer data to advertisers. Seriously -- where's the API you can hit that does that? That needs to be a thing that exists in the world for this claim to be true.)

Dreaming here, but I wonder if someone from the Periscope team could go around mid-Market/Tenderloin and try and get people to do exactly what you're describing. Spread the word: "Need to call 911? Use Periscope to educate the 911 dispatcher about the problem." Visit shelters, offices, etc. in a 1/2-mile radius or something and ask people to do it. Of course you then get into an issue where the 911 dispatcher is not the person who would actually know the street-level specifics, but you're right that there would seemingly be countless benefits. Tackle it from both sides, maybe, and talk to the city while you're at it (as slow as things move, the only way to actually change things is to start).

As one of those people who isn't straight (B and T for me), I am a victim. It's a fact of life that in the United States if you are openly LGBT you will get hurt or even killed. So, unless you got FBI crime stats that says otherwise, I'm sure your conservative/reactionary nonsense will fly for long.

I tested this in their beta for Mac and am now back on Mail.app. After several updates, I continued to suffer from primarily two issues:

1. App would crash in the background and need to be reopened.
2. Emails that had been archived in Gmail still appeared as “incomplete” in Mail Pilot.

Perhaps the latter is product design and not a bug, but regardless, it was frustrating to say the least that emails I had hidden from view on Gmail were still visible in Mail Pilot.
The difference between Reyes and path tracing is this:

- Reyes batches camera-visible geometry into grids of micropolygons and microvoxels. These micro-elements are then shaded using any method you please (which, in the case of Pixar movies since Monsters University, has been raytraced physically based illumination). The micropolygons are projected to the image plane and stochastically sampled, much more akin to traditional rasterization. There is no raytracing for camera-visible geometry, and all projections must be linear.

This style of doing things was to exploit locality in screen space. It assumes that the image can be broken into "buckets", and the information outside the bucket can be destroyed when the bucket is finished. This used to be true when RenderMan was first designed, but now that everybody is raytracing their illumination, it is less of a useful optimization.

This also means that shading happens at discrete times. Usually everything is shaded at the shutter-open instant, so specular highlights will be smeared in an unphysical way, because their motion is not properly correlated with the geometry motion.

I should also point out that Renderman keeps an internal radiosity cache in Reyes mode, which is basically just stored colors of illuminated geometry. This cache is queried by raytracing when computing indirect illumination, and a cache of the whole scene is kept for each bounce. Pixar only uses one or two bounces in Reyes mode due to the heavy memory cost. Note that view-dependent indirect illumination is not possible with this scheme-- Second bounces (and deeper) are always diffuse only. (It is possible to avoid this, but it tends to be slow because Reyes makes all kinds of generally-untrue assumptions about its ability to batch shading which fall apart in second+ bounce shading).

- Path tracing fires rays for camera-visible geometry. In most path tracers, including RenderMan RIS, each ray hit generates a new shading exec. This means that time-jittering for camera motion blur also trivially produces time-jittered shading, so (among other things) moving specular highlights will be correct, and view-dependent indirect illumination is possible. Because of this live-shading aspect there is no radiosity cache, and so much deeper levels of indirect illumination bounces can be used (compare 8 bounces to Reyes' typical 2, for example).

Also, because camera-visible geometry is raytraced, it is possible to do interesting things like nonlinear projections.
