There is no industry-standard record of credits in the games

No, but that doesn't mean people don't use it as hiring critera. Some software companies use github profiles to screen candidates. Open source contributions in general, and github in particular are a comically inept way of evaluating candidates, even in comparison to credits. But it still happens.
As I can't edit the comment, I wasn't referring to the name /usr/local as much as the permissions. It'd make more sense to store systemwide hierarchy in /opt/homebrew/* and user-specific hierarchy in ~/.homebrew/* instead.
Is there any tool which converts design into mobile user interface code?
Some of the challenges for me are, the amount of time it takes to convert each of the screen signs into pixel perfect layouts on mobile. Is there any tool which allows you to upload a design and this gets converted into html/css, this will definitely save our time, and help us focus on solution/logic then rewriting the same code over and over again.. Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Your argument sounds like a bunch of pretty arrogant generalizations to me.
I think it could be your knowledge that falls short.

Why require CORS? What good is that, here? If you're a malicious CDN, you'll just not support CORS and so no one can use this to protect themselves. If the CDN is benign but gets hacked, this just leaves the (unlikely but possible) option of the hackers breaking CORS, waiting for the inevitable "I guess I'll just disable SRI", and then altering the subresource.

Requiring CORS simply makes security more difficult to achieve.
Agreed but even many of them squander it all and live paycheck to paycheck.

Index investing is passive investing.

We need investors who actively invest, by evaluating the companies, so that more money goes to good companies and less money goes to bad companies.
The index represents the current batch of the top 500 good companies in recent times as decided by the active investors. The index is re-balanced as the preferences of the active investors change.

So, if there were no active investing, then investing would be completely pointless.
How does space debris reach a stable enough orbit that it doesn't just fall into the atmosphere and burn up? Also (maybe depending on the first question) wouldn't the chaotic nature of space debris collisions cause less stable orbits?
What you really mean is that you wouldn't be willing to pay $15/month. That's reasonable, but another thing entirely.
That does seem like an entertaining read; thanks for the recommendation.
It is easy to point to the subsidy of financial aid as the likely source of rising tuition, but there is no evidence to support this. The most significant act of education subsidization by the Federal Government, the post-WWII GI Bill, had essentially no inflationary effect.[0]

However, in the decades since then, states have largely defunded higher education. Schools have been directly forced to make up the difference through raising tuition, which can often only be paid for through loans.

DOIs work for referencing resources because someone, e.g. a scholarly publisher, has a self-interest in making sure that DOI-based links keep working. They put a concerted effort in making that happen. When referencing "web at large" resources that reside on any kind of web server out there, the admin of that web server is typically not very interested in putting work in to keep links working. Hence, the person putting a link to a "web at large" resource in, or the platform on which such link is published, caries the burden to keep the link working. Our Robust Links work (http://robustlinks.mementoweb.org/) is all about how that can be done. As someone in this thread says, it involves "metadata". But not the kind of metadata that's mentioned in his post; it's all more webbie than that. Note that link rot is not the only problem for "web at large resources". Content drift is another: content at the end of a link changes. See also my comment in the Mozilla Science discussion "What makes code a research object" (https://github.com/mozillascience/code-research-object/issue...). And see our extensive study regarding reference rot in scholarly communication (http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0115253).
Sure I'm not proposing a single "solution". However I am saying that housing benefit is a substantial part of the near-enslavement of the UK.

What We Need, but Dislike Following
Mostly my experience is similar to you but I have seen the delay in sync a few times recently. I was a Premium customer for a year or so but their lack of a proper Firefox extension (back in 2013-14) made me switch to free. I upgraded to plus again recently.

This reminds me of how bad their Firefox extension was for a year or so. They introduced new version of clipper (6) for Chrome, Opera and Safari but Firefox stayed at 5.9 for almost a year. They had a long forum thread about this but took too much time! As a paying customer, I hated that and still feel that for a company with main focus on note taking and clipping, they should have been faster.

About the "Text-to-Speech" section there, I was really impressed with the updated Swedish "Alva" voice in OSX El Capitan: it correctly pronounces "tomten" in different ways in the first and second occurrence in this example:

say -v Alva "Tomten dricker julmust på tomten"

"Tomten" can mean either "Santa Claus" or "the yard"/"the plot" depending on context, and apparently they're able to detect this properly.

A. OSX is not a single user system. It inherits from various Unixes, and no Unix has ever had nonprivileged writability on any directory under /usr.

FHS does not apply to OSX in any way. Why do people think so?

Also, /Applications is not writable by nonprivileged users either!

Agreed on ~"changes yield outrage", but in this case, it's just a software application vendor violating obvious historical and specific guidelines from software OS vendor, and people blaming OS vendor when things break. This perplexes me.

Secondly, I am so glad I went to high school in the 80's because this is going to make life a pain-in-the-butt for a lot of high school students.

Dude, I work in risk on the sell side. If anyone in banking seriously mentions TA they get laughed at at best. Bad idea to bring it up in an interview though.

The only field where a sort-of technical analysis may be mentioned is HFT, but that's due to the fact, that HFT works on such a microscopic time frame that it is difficult to come up with conventional data used in financial analysis (example: correlation). So it's more of a tech arms race than anything else.

Just because TA uses mildly advanced math, doesn't mean it's any good. Just like it doesn't mean that heroin is good for you, just because the producers use sophisticated chemistry equipment.

Transport for London have officially launched their Unified API:

"The API supports all the data requirements of the tfl.gov.uk website. Every data driven aspect (including maps) of the tfl.gov.uk website is powered by the Unified API. If you can see it on our website it should be in the API."
I'm surprised I didn't see this on the morning news and wow what a thrill it must have been.
Number are rough because of different currencies, but:

Housing: $400 (own apartment with my SO)

Student loans: $150

Car payment: no car, bike most places

Income tax rate: 32%, but employer pays another 30%, so effectively 62%

Sales tax: 25%

Insurace: $15

Phone: $15 (cheapest possible plan)

Internet: included in housing

9 challenges you’ll face as a Spanish entrepreneur
Agreed, I don't understand why so many people use homebrew instead of macports. Macports seems to be immune to so many issues that complicate homebrew, and I love that it keeps everything in its own dir, '/opt'. Easy to see what it installed, and easy to uninstall (rm -r /opt). The commands are also easier for me to remember -- no awkward, overstretched analogy.

I often help people start hacking on open source projects and I can't tell you how many times they've made a mess with homebrew, nothing works. Replace homebrew with macports and their problems are solved, rarely to return.

Maybe in some cases homebrew installs something a bit faster, but it's rarely a meaningful amount of time and it doesn't make up for all the time spent fixing homebrew when it messes up.
The debris doesn't have to reach stable orbits. The debris gets created in orbits that are already stable. It's also important to consider that stable in this context doesn't mean that the debris stays up there forever, it's just staying long enough to be a problem.
This is also part of the problem.

It's of a piece with the other 80s privatisations: rather than provide services by the state, move them into the private sector (but still paid for by the state), guaranteeing profits to the purchasers.
How about this:

There's a warehouse 'owner' internal to the browser (and not exposed to pages/extension), who 'remembers' the resources the browser has, and the times it took to access them (for commonly-accessed resources). When a page requests the cached resource, the owner 'returns' the resource with a delay of whatever the original access time was, fudged around by some noise.

A weakness of this would be that websites would be able to 'communicate' with each other by engineering response times to your browser, and then checking how long it takes your browser to access that. But this is a different scenario than random websites trying to figure out where else you've been: here the pages need to be in collusion with each other.

The servers might try to use fancy algorithms to try to figure out if you're using cached versions by hitting different distributed servers and figuring out if the resource load time is an outlier. But that's prone to a lot of noise and other issues, and lesser of an issue than the original concern. Right?

This obviously won't help with page load speeds, but will help network load for bot users and servers. One possible issue might be: if you've been in a slow connection previously, all your connections will seem slow even after you are in a faster connection. For that, you can just purge the cache and force the browser to reload the
resources.

Edited for formatting.

In summary: frictions (informational, capital, & regulatory) that distort the efficiency of free markets, which technology can help solve.

Coming from an investment background and comparing to what I see offered to retail, it seems you could just be your own investment manager by picking up any college finance text. This would tell you the orthodoxy on just about everything you need to know, and doesn't cost much.

This is especially true if you don't have much money or can't write your own automated trading strategies.

The real reason to get an investment manager is access to interesting investments, for instance private debt which is the sort of thing you need some connections for. You'd only be thinking about this at rather large amounts of assets.

> My experience playing Kerbal Space Program

KSP's ion engines are WAY overpowered to make for better gameplay.IRL thurst is lower by orders of magnitude.

If we are talking about probes in the solar system, then the mission durations are already long to begin with. Instead of firing a conventional hydrazine-based thruster for a few minutes, we'll fire an ion engine for months. But, if it takes years to get where you are going, who cares?

There are things we can't do yet, such as orbital insertions, with ion engines. In these cases, conventional engines are better.
It feels like something that would fail if only one state did it. A lot of low income people would move to that state for basic income and the high income people seeing massive tax increases would leave. Then the system would collapse.

At a country level it is much more difficult for people to come and go and countries have some control over who does come and go. It would be better tried by some European country.

The reason I switched to HomeBrew, after attempting to use MacPorts for several years, was that the formulas all actually worked and resulted in installations that weren't horribly broken and/or reliant on 10 different additions to my PATH and environment variables. Homebrew may have some questionable policies, but at least it works well and has recipes that successfully compile. It also tells you why recipes aren't compiling.
> every one is OK with clearing it out.

Depends. Denying US access to any tech hurts them more than the armies that don't have such high tech capabilities. On the other side - if you US are mostly unaffected by that (preparations etc) they will be so far ahead that cleaning up the debris will hurt US superiority.

So - who will be ok with cleanup in that current moment can vary a lot.

To see a lot less serious mess unfolding in real time - Syria. While the end game is clear for all - get rid of ISIS and install strong stable government, everyone is moving to get advantage and increase its bargaining pool.

I have yet to pay off the house, but my wife and I (similar situation to the two of you) managed to pay off $47k in debt (credit cards, student loans, and car loans) in two years. In the months that followed, we saved a six-month emergency fund. We just stuck to a budget, and put every other penny on debt. We followed the Dave Ramsey plan. People poo poo him for not being sophisticated enough, but it's about changing behavior, not doing math.

I feel pretty confident that navigation and communications would stay about the same, at least the social aspects pointed at in the question (different tech would be used, but so what).

Weather forecasting isn't all that important, warnings for hurricanes would probably be about the same. So there would be some inconveniences, but nothing huge.

The geopolitics is the interesting question. I wonder what sort of imaging capability could be attained by strapping systems to commercial flights and fiddling flight paths to increase coverage. That would require international cooperation, but maybe there's enough political will to make it happen.
For what it's worth, you're in roughly the top 30% of earners globally. Whether that constitutes "a lot of money" depends on your definition, but we often forget just how little most people on this planet live on so I wanted to throw it out there.
That is absurd. To prevent malicious modifications and data leak you can just host code on your own server. Using free CDN (without SLA) you just increase your site downtime and get nothing in return (well except that company and NSA can now collect IPs, UAs and referers of your users).

CDNs are used to optimize traffic cost but hosting just single JS library there won't save you much.

Calculating hashes is bothersome and requires modification of an app so probably nobody is going to use it.

I never use libraries hosted at free CDNs.

EDIT: I cannot think of a scenario where this feature can be useful.

EDIT 2: And you cannot use this feature for scripts like Google Analytics because they can be modified anytime.
This sounds like a reasonable feature request, bug tracker item.
This is what annoys me about the supposed moral hazard around ad blocking. Content sites, particularly news providers have no respect for their users and just pile layer upon layer of crap.

At one point the huge org I worked for blocked all ads for local newspapers. Not because we hate ads, but because they were frequently used to deliver malware, and in one case malware suspected to be targeted at our organization.

We called the media outlet and even offered to help, but were rebuffed. So screw them I say.
One could have sites opt-in to it, e.g. by a HTTP header? CDNs and other common resources could allow it, but identifying files would still be protected.
Yeah, that was a great read even though it's not quite the same scenario :-)

In 2007, the Chinese tested an anti satellite missile against a weather satellite.

The missile contained no explosives, it relied purely on kinetic energy.

The collision released 2,300 pieces of debris that were large enough to be tracked, so about golfball size or larger, and probably many times that number that are too small to track.
> Weather forecasting isn't all that important

Unless you travel, use energy or eat food.
How about an additional attribute named "global", "shared", "public", "use-global-cache", share-with="*", etc. that the developer can use to opt in to the behavior?

A site operator would only opt in to the behavior for assets that are not unique to the site.

A second idea would be to wait until several unique domains had requested the asset before turning on the behavior for that asset. (By unique domain I specifically mean the part of the domain that's written in black text in the URL bar, excluding subdomains that are in gray.)

These are two easiest-to-implement solutions I can think of.
It truly amazes me that someone can say with a straight face that the Chinese started this.
Everyone with space launch capabilities would be fine with it, and they are also the relevant parties when it comes to treaty issues. I don't think Russia and China would want to leave junk up there, I don't think any one else is even questionable.
Actions speak loader than words.

Also, take a little time to analyze how the Russian media vs. the world reacted to the incident.
