Also, which UI conventions are you referring to, specifically ?

I'm from Portugal, so I click on the dropdown and press P. The standard behaviour is to jump to the first result, but this one automatically selects it, closing the dropdown from under me and starting an update.

There's no horizontal scrollbar even when the content doesn't fit, so if I reduce the window horizontally, it becomes unusable.

When I click on a row of the table, nothing changes; I must move the cursor to see it has in fact selected it.

And the text is not selectable.
2011-02-28 + 1m1d = (2011-02-28 + 1m) + 1d = 2011-03-28 + 1d = 2011-03-29

2011-02-28 + 1d1m = (2011-02-28 + 1d) + 1m = 2011-03-01 + 1m = 2011-04-01

Also, you have these overflow rules:

2011-03-31 + 1m = 2011-04-30

2011-04-30 - 1m = 2011-03-30
We could throw out the entire list and rebuild it in one go, but re-rendering large amounts of DOM is also slow.

Oh really?

Here is how we gonna do. I will start by saying, no it isn't and you we will try to convince me that it is slow. You gonna have to be convincing because I'm pretty sure one can render a full webpage on a 1080p display at 60Hz (yes, I mean render it 60 times a second).

This is a real question. Aren't we?
So you're suggesting we keep drowning the department in cash, hoping that one of the projects they build has a happy side effect of not murdering or spying on people.

You need to squander less of the taxes you raise. The Swiss pay on average less tax than the Americans on a percentage basis. (11% vs 10% to 39%).
How is "1m" more obvious that "plusMonths(1)"? I mean really, the latter is basically and English phrase. I know it's cool to shit all over OOP and Java these days, but if Haskell/Clojure/Whatever had a function (plusMonths dt 1) or something that, you wouldn't call it a pile of FP.
I've met Germans who said they wished they had only ever learned English and not German.
That was, like, the point, though. I thought it was great when Finn turned out to be mostly useless at Jedi-ing and Rey was actually the main character, because I didn't see it coming after all of the trailers and ads. A bigger twist than, you know, the other one.
My point was that memory bandwidth won't sell anybody on FPGAs if they didn't already have strong reasons to be considering FPGAs.
3 Questions for Startups to Answer in a Volatile Fundraising Environment
I'm really excited to try Nim out in a project. It's been at the top of my list for a while, despite the evident rise of Elixir as the next hot new thing. Really love the Pythonish syntax and the ability to compile down to C and run as a native program.

Edit: just noticed this was posted on Oct 20th, 2014. Nim has been evolving a lot over its short lifetime and it's possible that some statements in this article are no longer pertinent.
Thanks for your replies, you seem both experimented and it's a pleasure to read!

CAD tools being more powerful is good but not when it comes at the expense of powerusers, like (I suppose) brudgers and I are. It's frustating because others trends aren't exploited.

What the sense of being able to do more and better when your scope is more and more restricted?
Where are the standard file formats that really carry informations? (small example: Creo and Inventor implemented svg import then dropped it...)
CAD is a big walled garden and there are no alternatives, when they'll realize that openness is pure marketable innovation?

As a side note, I worked in a company where "if Inventor doesn't crash everyday, you're not working!"... spend lot of time debugging colleagues, not the soft. And, we were using Inventor less than 20% capabilities.
I think that said a lot about a concrete use of CAD.

Someone posted this on an earlier thread about the article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_trade_zone
China uses free trade zones extensively. This means that some items a moved in bulk to domestic staging areas, so not everything is leaving from China, I believe that there are requirements that they be postmarked from China due to import export rules.
Second, China's postal system is heavily subsidized and therefore much of the costs are hidden in the system.
Nope. I tried it from a different geographical location (west coast of the US) and got exactly the same thing.

Agreed.

It's amazing how many of these "backdoors" are showing up. Including ones which were obfuscated so as not to be visible to people reading the code.
This is looking very suspicious.

Why are are there no prosecutions under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, under the "exceeds authorized access" provision? In many cases, no EULA would get the vendor off the hook, because that doesn't help in criminal prosecutions. Also, the party spied upon may not be the one who bought the device or software, so they're not limited by the EULA.
Yeah without US support of NATO there wouldn't be a Switzerland just nuked out mountains flying post WW 3 soviet flag. Or maybe they would fare better considering their sham pro-hitler neutral actions that saw millions of jews perish during holocaust.

The slow progress reflects the knottiness of one of Silicon Valley’s most persistent problems: It’s too white.

It's actually too Asian. And too Jewish. That is, if you're using, you know, math, and a simpleton's understanding of demographics. If you're using contemporary ethnic racketeering, then yeah, it's too white. Even the NFL is too white.

I actually think it would be funny to see Bloomberg come out with an article demanding that fewer Asians and Jews be hired wherever they excel.

In the former, typing '2012.01.01' implicitly creates a date object (probably), and '1m1d' implicitly creates some sort of duration object (probably) and uses an operator to combine them.

Are these certificates exclusively for ELB and CloudFront? Does anyone see a way to download a certificate for manual installation on a server (EC2 or otherwise)?

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/setup-websi...

> Currently, ACM Certificates are associated with Elastic Load Balancing load balancers or Amazon CloudFront distributions. Although you install your website on an Amazon EC2 instance, you do not deploy an ACM Certificate there. Instead, deploy the ACM Certificate on your Elastic Load Balancing load balancer or on your CloudFront distribution.

Ideally ACM certificate issuance and deployment would be two separate things, and this would be a general-purpose CA, which just happens to have integrated deployment tools for ELB and CloudFront.

"It depends".

Are you writing a whole new app? or are you integrating with pre-existing js? Elm is designed around statically-typed functional reactive programming, and as part of maintaining that integrity at runtime, it puts some ceremony around js interop. Clojurescript <-> javascript interop is lower-friction, with all of the potential runtime failures that entails. So it seems that the less your component needs to interact with js, the more pleasant Elm would be, and vice-versa.

What do you and your team already know? In circle ci's case, they already used clojure, so it was an easy choice to stick to that language on the front end. If you or anyone you know don't already have some familiarity with either an ML (in elm's case) or a lisp (in clojurescript's), consider looking into a language like that on the server at the same time.

And of the two, clojurescript is more popular. This entails some confusion, sure (om? om next? reagent? wha? vs the 'just use the stdlib' of elm) but it is generally a Good Thing. In my experience, you're more likely to find answers to cljs questions, to have better tooling ('top speed'), and an easier time setting up that tooling ('acceleration').

You'll notice I compared Elm and Clojurescript, not Elm and Om/Om next. I think the attributes of the two languages probably outweigh any particular differences in app structure between Elm's "StartApp" recommended structure and om.
Iff NP=P.
I'm not suggesting taking money from "evil" corporations... only in that money made in a locality should be taxed in that locality... getting rid of corporate 'income' taxes in favor of tariffs/vat and money exports would allow for that, with less opportunity for subverting the system, so to speak... At the end of the year, a tax refund could be given if you're a person, and transferred less than 100k out of the country.

It could be a much simpler system, with less bureaucracy needed. There are other possibilities as well. Right now, many corporations are holding onto funds, which doesn't help any economy, and worse, shifting those funds to holding companies to avoid taxes... What I'm suggesting would punish holding onto assets and encourage activity domestically... foreign goods will always be needed, and as such taxes would apply. VAT systems happen in lots of countries.
That often expands into hundreds of thousands of lines though. It's more routine to go backdoor-hunting in binaries; you've given me the interesting idea of running `strings` on the binary and looking for anything that's not in the source.

What do you propose should be taxed?

Taxes are on things you buy.

By the way people who don't exercise will pay taxes on medicines and health care later. So yeah, some way of taxing that already exists.

Not very likely in American courts given the public figure libel standard.[0]

Essentially, in order to accuse a public figure (e.g. politicians), you have to prove that the defendant acted with actual malice.

Actual malice in this case is defined as either actual knowledge that the statements were false, or reckless disregard for the truth.

A reckless disregard for the truth is more than mere negligence, the person making the statement must have actual and demonstrable doubt as to the truth or falsity of the statements made. [1]

It is very difficult to meet that standard.

Having a major mosquito-borne epidemic that touches a _rich_ country would be the most straightforward way to effect this decision.

Malaria was once endemic to the US, and while we didn't at the time have the capability to totally eradicate mosquitoes, that didn't stop the CDC from wiping it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Malaria_Eradication_P...

It'd be wonderful to see mosquitoes utterly eliminated. They're the source of massive human suffering worldwide.

#4 was really "tax breaks for the rich". The check everyone else got was just an early chunk of their normal refund check.

Surpluses are a big problem to the "starve the beast" strategy though. The whole point is to run the government out of money so it is forced to reduce or shut down programs that are otherwise quite popular. That's why we implemented huge handouts to billionaires and not one but two unfunded wars.
Heck, it'd be nice to be able to park my truck outside of the city limits and borrow a subcompact until I get downtown. I don't need to tow downtown and I don't need four wheel drive downtown, so why try to find a place where I can parallel park a full sized pickup truck when I could ditch it outside of town and borrow a Sonic for 20 minutes?

I'm curious about how support for building unikernels will be integrated into Docker. The current Dockerfile-based build process doesn't support separate build-time and run-time environments, but when building a unikernel, the build-time environment is completely different from the run-time artifact. Support for separate build-time and run-time environments is also useful when building container images, so the image doesn't include things that are only necessary at build time. So I hope that problem is solved first; I think the addition of unikernel support will be more natural that way.
Yes. Good point. It's an interesting thought experiment.

What if the broad spectrum of Craigslist service providers included car drivers who could (somehow - hand wave) offer rides on Craigslist?

How much confidence would you have in them?

What condition would you expect their cars to be in?

What kind of driving record could be expected from the drivers?

How would you choose a driver from that spectrum?

Would you expect to pay less or the same as for an Uber ride?

Under what circumstances would you just avoid using a Craigslist driver altogether?
The key question is, how good are the quality for images comparing to others? Did not find info related to that on the site yet.
There's a weird urban legend going around that DDT would solve mosquito problems -- usually with the implication that environmentalists are evil for banning this terrific substance. You appear to have succumbed to this urban legend.

The story is just not true. DDT was banned not because of blind chemical-phobia, but because the molecule is way too stable. It stays in the food chain and environment for decades. Eventually, it builds up in certain predators and wipes them out.

There are plenty of insecticides which are perfectly usable, but without DDT's problematic stability. Stability does not help with mosquito control, so the lack of stability does not hurt effectiveness.

Consider the Silicon Valley. 150 years ago the land that Facebook is on was considered uninhabitable due to mosquitos. If DDT was that crucial to killing mosquitos, then mosquitos should have recovered in the 40 years since the ban.

Nim is great. It is fast and it works everywhere that C works or JavaScript works since it transpiles to either (and then compiles if transpiling to C). It is super fucking fast (usually faster than C) and it feels like it has none of the limitations that you normally find out there.

That being said, there are a couple of issues.

1. Like Crystal, Nim still doesn't have HTTPS for its webserver, and with both, the default instructions are insecure. (Download this thing and run it in your shell, pay no attention to any MITM that can trivially root your machine).

2. The community is really pro, but the arguments are too tiring. We had a huge argument over the equivalent of Ruby's chomp. Everyone is so afraid of bloat in the standard lib (which I don't really understand, since I've never found myself wanting less string methods).

3. While the syntax is way better than Rust, Go, et al. It borrows some annoyingness from Python where it could have looked to Ruby for better guidance. For example, sort vs sorted. Sorted is the safer operation in Python. It returns a new sorted list. Now what normally happens in the real world is that programmers make the safe version first and later make the fast version. But imagine that the first version was called "sort" and it returned a new array, how are you to transition to a fast sort and a safe sorted? Error prone patching. Ruby's array.sort vs array.sort! is much better during transition, more legible, just all around better. It means less mangling around and it means that 99.9% of the time you know the method you're calling is safe if it doesn't have the bang after it.

4. There is still some instability here and there when you try to do cute things. I can't remember exactly what it was, but something along the lines of passing channels over channels segfaulted. This leaves you a little concerned about just how much abstraction you build up.

That being said, I fucking love Nim. It's so fun to write, it's super fast, it's quite legible, and you can do literally anything. It's had shared objects (dlls) since I started using it, so Ruby <-> Nim is possible and fun. It's very debugable and once it hits 1.0 and gets more mainstream use I'm sure it's going to be a really popular language.
