Thanks! Is this a new feature? I tried searching for it a couple of months ago and didn't find anything. I'd still like to get notifications when I'm specifically mentioned (but not when @everybody is) but this is better than nothing.
This is some sort of joke right?

99% of developers will use npm directly, anyone claiming otherwise and also claiming that everyone else doesn't have a QA department because they do this is completely OOT and from a different decade.

This thread has massive upvotes and a mass of comments precisely because this is what everyone does. It's utterly ridiculous to claim otherwise.
It may be considering unpublishing as a modification.
Android tablets were simply not very good. I had a N7 and it was okay for the money, but suffered all sorts of quality issues. A couple updates of Android and it takes minutes to start. The battery life also always stunk. I have a couple Samsung tablets in the office for testing and they always felt cheap compared to the iPads. I'm sure there are great Android tablets out there, but I have not found them.

Speaking of battery life, I can leave an iPad for months in sleep mode and it still have a lot of battery life left when I need to test something. No Android tablet I have lying around can do that (the Kindles being the worst).

Painless Way to Pay Your US Taxes
I know the car analogies are tired and cliche but that's not too far off. I used to work for a guy who was an Apple zealot whereas I was more the type to do price comparisons and buy whatever I could afford without going overboard for bells, whistles, and extra layers of polish. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that the guy was a business owner who got his start via a nice big trust fund his family had set up for him whereas I was paying my way through college working for him.

Either way, this wasn't a tech company but more like a retail shop with an attached cafe. People frequently would chit-chat about computer stuff and several times people would complain that their old or severely underpowered/low end PC was too slow or crapped out on them. Boss' answer: "Get a Mac!" Every time without fail.

It really made it hard not to bristle at the sentiment or take it out on Apple in general since they had similar themes in their ad campaigns at the time (this was the "I'm a Mac" days). Essentially people were either using the equivalent of aging Camrys or newer models at the extreme low end of the market like some 3cyl Ford Fiesta and the solution to their problems was obviously to buy a Mercedes.

Of course a luxury car (or computer) is going to run better than something old or low-end but there's a much wider range in between that will often cover your needs, sans some extra layers of polish that demand an understandable premium, for considerably less money.

So yeah, marketers will market. Fanboys will fanboy. I get it. But it doesn't make it less irritating when users and customers start parroting the lines from ad campaigns that seek to convince you that anything less than the Porsche or the Benz are just going to crap out on you and leave you sad and lonely.
SXSW music hack launched in 4 days
Interview: Rich Jones on Zappa
My daily computer at work is a 6 year old Dell Optiplex. 4GB RAM and an SSD. Perfectly good for what I do.

My laptop is a 1st gen Macbook Air, inherited from original owner. Also perfectly good for what I do.

My car is from 2004. Perfectly reliable and meets all my needs.

There is a HUGE amount of retail activity that is caried out just because people want the newest and latest version of things. And I have no problem with that, but it's absolutely not necessary if you don't want to participate.

Sure. The US needs to prolong their racist and anti-communist policies, that's why they came with their current prison system afterall.

Nixon improved the system to ensure better voter turnout for his kind (20% less democrates votes and get blacks from the streets),
Clinton improved the system for more cheap slave labour (which worked great for centuries to make the US the greatest country of all) and helped private prison incentives. Mandatory sentencing, war on drugs, reducing accountability on law enforcement and justice.

Actually helping improving the crime rate is not the goal, the goal is entirely business and political.
The crime rate went down due to Roe v. Wade btw, getting poor people access to birth control. That's why the right-wing states are fighting that. It would diminish their advantages of the current imprisonment system.

Makes me think of something i ran into about the freedom concept that was bouncing around at the time of the American revolution (and thus inspiring and influencing the founding fathers).

I think it boiled down to freedom being the absence of coercion in any form.

I use a PC that's about 6 years old. I use IDEs, I need "full Unix power", but I don't play modern games so 6 year old hardware is good enough. I have a quad core CPU and 8GiB ram so I'm rarely waiting for the hardware. I did upgrade to a bigger SSD but it's not subjectively much faster than the original SSD. A good 5 year old PC is much more powerful than any mobile device.

> And to use your watch analogy, you wouldn't expect people on tight incomes to buy a Rolex when a <£15 watch works the same.

That is the point of my analogy -- you can justify a high end phone based on more than just its "status", and the cost difference is extremely small (the opposite cases of the Rolex and a normal watch). I'm not making an argument about what poor people in general should do; nor am I saying status plays no factor. I just think the argument that they are buying the newest phone based 100% on social status seems a bit thin.

It's worth pointing out that StartCom claims the verification email address in the article in question was only accepted because it matched the WHOIS record of said domain[1], which is permitted according to CA/B Baseline Requirements and their CPS.

I was passively listening to the keynote, and this comment caught my ear. My first reaction was, "Well damn, I'm pretty proud that the 2010 Macbook Pro I've been using as a 24/7 server for the past 5 years is still chugging along."

Though I suspect Macs might not be included in that statistic, it seemed out of touch nonetheless.

It's depressing to me that Twitter is willing to degrade my experience for a fraction of a penny. When I'm browsing from my pay-as-you-go phone (ie expensive data), I wouldn't be surprised if it costs me more to download and display the ad than Twitter earns. That seems very broken to me.
I still use my 2009 MBP. I upgraded to an SSD drive and 8 gigs of ram. I don't game on it, but I can do almost all of my development on it. I'll admit it's slower then my 2013 MPB at work, but I see no reason to spend more money on a working computer.

My second computer is a Chromebook. My oldest daughter uses it for school work and we couldn't be happier. It's much better then our iPad (which we don't use anymore).
Thanks. What issues are driving the licensing decision toward debate?
First, let's get the internet part clear. Mobile internet is consistently more expensive that fixed line (in xUSSR at least). And as somebody with more than 1 degree, I can tell you that you don't need an iphone map, phone, alarm, or camera functionality to make your life better, while internet and email on a mobile device is counterproductive. If you really want to save money and get better, go buy a core 2 duo desktop pc for less than $100 and a simple internet connection. Turn on the pomodoro. Turn off your phone.

> There are capable smartphones for much cheaper then an iPhone that could get the job done. That's what GP was likely getting at.

True enough. And yet, if you yourself are not actually poor, you may not realize the value that a marginal luxury like an iPhone or Air Jordans or a top brand purse (sorry, I don't know what the hot brand of purses is atm) can bring to someone in that situation. Spending a few hundred dollars will not get them a better place to live or a better job or out of debt, but it can get them something that helps them appear less poor to the people around them, who can't see their bank balance or their house, but they can see what phone they are carrying around.
Reading through that, the "native HTML/JS editor" is welcome information.

The "We started the year by building a proof-of-concept application on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and HTML/JS." is good for Linux support.

Any chance of BSD support as well? :)
The problem with those cheap phones is that your private information
will be mercilessly sucked into the Google cloud. Some of that is
disguised as perfectly innocent and helpful features: contacts
syncing, back-ups, connecting more easily to WiFis, etc.

if you truly value your privacy (most people don't; which solves the
problem for them), it is trivially easy: buy a cheap phone (i.e. Moto
E/G) and install a custom ROM like cyanogenmod without the gapps on it.
then just run a Card-/CalDAV server (radicale, owncload, ...) on a
computer in your home network (can be your laptop/server/raspberry ...)
and you get the syncing you want without the google part.

of course it's extra work, but it's not rocket science. so if you really
care about privacy, it's trivial to do. but as pointed out: most people
don't, no matter if they have a cheap phone or not.
I would disagree that the iPhones in your school represent a keeping up with the Joneses. Smartphones are swiss army knives that provide a ton of benefit to folks without the resources to buy lots of different devices. Through the myriad of purchasing schemes available, the real cost difference between an iPhone/Galaxy and a cheap android device amounts to a couple of bucks a month.

When I was a kid in the 90s, kids, even kids without lots of money, wasted lots of the money they have access to on music. That money spent on tapes and CDs is similar to a data plan. Except the data plan + wifi gives you access to a world of services from phone, texting, music, tv, etc.

Personally, I think if I had very little in the way of resources, I would choose a smartphone investment over a TV, radio, and many other things. Its a high return product.
Granulizing payments and exposing the pay-logic will just encourage more complex gamesmanship to gather the pay... and thats already putting aside the fact that micro payments add stress which has been supplanted by the subscription model.
How about the other moment where Apple showed their "40 years in 40 seconds" video and scratched out the Newton?

You really want to mock the massive effort of that group - a group you believed in at one point in time? At least honor the memory of Ko Isono.

I didn't see the Lisa or the Apple /// get the same treatment. Maybe because Saint Steve backed those projects?
The advice I give to anyone buying any tech is to buy the best that you can afford, then what you prefer (i.e. Android, iOS, Windows, Mac etc.). If someone on a 'tight budget' determines that an iPhone or an S7 is a priority, who are you to judge?
I guess my biggest question as a journalist is not, "what is the point of blendle?", but rather, "what is the point of the NYT, Times, etc.?"

I'd be happy to just publish directly onto their platform and let readers pay me directly for the stuff of mine that they want to read via blendle (vs. paying a publication via blendle, then the publication pays me).
> people disagree, backstab each other and generally don't want to be there, those are two very different populations.

So, may be the problem doesn't lie with a tool anyway.

Imagine a future with guaranteed minimal income, where all the companies are staffed by people whose primary motivation is the same as Eve Online players...
I think most people when left to their own devices (heh) would prefer to purchase something that's more expensive to buy but less expensive to own, and in that vein I think the iPhone is much better value than an Android.
> mercilessly sucked into the Google cloud.

Hyperbole much?

>Some of that is disguised as perfectly innocent and helpful features: contacts syncing, back-ups, connecting more easily to WiFis, etc.

Disguised? Um... That's how those features work.

Your personal information is a currency that you have to budget. Want timely weather information in your location? Guess what? You have to spend a little location currency to get that.

Why are you picking on the poor here? What are you trying to generalize about?
As someone sitting at a nearly 5 year old Macbook Pro, I took the comment as an off hand throwaway. I understand not liking the comment, but this isn't news. A company thinks everyone should be using the latest of their products. Oh no.
I paid my bills from Nov 2006 to Feb 2013 with a HP nc8430. I let it go because it started to be annoyngly low on memory because of my new usage patterns: more VMs of more memory hungry OSes and more browser tabs, only 4 GB. Furthermore it run out of support and I would have had to buy my spare parts, no more next business day on site assistance. I got a Zbook 15 and I feel like I can go on with that for another 6 years (i7, up to 32 GB). No need to be on a 2 years update cycle, sadly for HP (or Apple) but not for me.
> But I don't think it's any harder than c++

For the time being it surely is.

With C++ I just download XCode or NDK/Android Studio/Visual Studio.

I don't need to bother with FFI on iOS and Windows.

On Android I just need to bother with JNI FFI, not additionally how to call JNI from the respective language.

The IDEs show visual representation of data structures when debugging and two way editing between C++ and the respective platform language.

With Rust or Go AFAIK I need to use Mac OS X or GNU/Linux for cross-compilation. Need to compile that toolchain myself and write my own wrappers to OS APIs.

Also not enjoying the same IDE experience isn't that much fun.

> I can't say for Windows phone as I have never done anything for it and I think it's dead...

Except the APIs are the same as Windows and XBox are moving to, even if WP10 is at the end of the road now with the last update misfortune.

So if Rust or Go want a place in Windows Store for desktop and XBox apps, they need to get along with WinRT APIs.

Yes, those languages will surely improve but if I have 1 hour to work on a side project, I rather spend that hour coding and not fixing toolchain issues.

If I had more time, I would surely like to help to improve the situation, but sadly time is limited.
The linked study (not OP's article) only mentions first generation antihistamines, and Cetrizine and Loratadine are both second-gen ("non-drowsy"). This study[1] alleges that Cetrizine does not have a cholinergic response associated with it (good), but that Loratadine did show anticholinergic activity (bad).

The OP article says:

> Those with allergies can take a second-generation antihistamine like loratadine (Claritin)

But perhaps Cetrizine is more safe, and we should not be taking Loratadine if we can avoid it. Thoughts, anybody?

> We've been needing a micro payment standard since 2000, and one has yet to materialize.

Apple, Google, Steam, Sony (PS4 store) and others all have micro-transactions solved for their purposes (with credit cards, prepaid options and user "wallets"). So this isn't likely to really be an obstacle for Blendle.
If it is the article I remember, one example was showing that the study could be replicated if done at the same university (which would be years after the first study), but the criticism was that it couldn't be replicated at a different university.

So the criticism of the criticism seems to be quite overstated. If the study can only be replicated at a single university (or even all in a general area), it means that we need to be very careful in generalizing the results. So to the extent that people take a study of one very specific group and generalize to an entire culture (or worse, to all humans), the criticism sticks.

Back when I was getting my psychology degree, there was a joke that 90% of the findings in psychology can only be generalized to broke American college students who are willing to be lab rats for beer money. While that overstates the problem, there is still a lot of truth in it.
Give me a break! That was not a jab at poor people. It was explaining how a market there is.

If you want to see a jab at poor people look at Gainsbourg burn a 500 franc note (about 100USD at the time) on live television. That's a jab at poor people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMq3Zr9_ARE

If you look at it this way - all that's changed are "clients", the data displayed is the same for both. But only on one phone the system experience is enjoyable. I guess Schiller forgot about that they once had a good optimized mobile OS.
lol at luxury cars lasting longer and saving you money over the long run. Rare cars with rare parts.
I just wonder sometimes if it is really that hard to figure this on their own. We can't teach every basic thing to everyone. I would hope that people are able to figure such obvious things on their own. It is really strange that they don't.

The culture of blaming technological problems on culture, of course.

So culturally most teams value communication, therefore you need notifications because communication is an inherently valuable good. But this is a tool for a business sector where the $$$ are generated by people in deep flow, and notifications disrupt flow. So there is a technological design failure of including a notification system but culturally not being allowed to say no to it.

For example, everyone hates the (non slack) IM system where I work because its a disruptive annoyance of little value, so we all complain much like op about the users using it wrong, when whats really wrong is the design and we don't have the strength to overrule the cultural value.
I don't think Apple is thinking about the money aspect here. Instead they find it sad because many of these people are missing out on _progress_. Especially with regards to ease of use. Many of these people would be much better served with an iPad than with the PCs that they use now.
At the expense of being more in debt, or worse, skipping a rent payment or a grocery run.
Yeah it's a stupid comment; my PC uses a Core i5 2500K which is more than 5 years old. There's good reason; it's still plenty fast.

But saying this was mocking poor people is just ridiculous. It's trying to stir up outrage over nothing.
Mmm, sort of doubt this. EMI would only be causing serious problems with a return path - in this case the RX line, which wouldn't have much of an effect on the transmitted byte stream since relatively little is coming back over the UART_RX. Since this is all at 3.3V logic levels, I doubt there'd be much crosstalk anyway.

If by "EMI" you mean some sort of signal quality issue due to transmission line effects, I'd say that's probably closer to the truth, but still not likely to be the case. At 1MBaud, your UART Tx will be switching in the range of 12-15MHz. As long as your physical UART connection is under six inches or so (and it probably would be if you were using a USB FTDI cable or something like that), it'd be pretty hard to get seriously bad transmission line effects at that frequency or most of the important harmonics in that square wave.

This sounds a little more like an additive error from a baud clock mismatch. At some point, the FTDI is going to be generating a clock at some frequency that isn't compatible with the ESP's receive oversampler. I'm inclined to believe his explanation if he was able to show JTAG captures of the ESP's UART error register.

I don't understand how the author went from the guy saying it's "really sad" to "Apple is insulting people". I mean even his first argument on why people don't upgrade IS actually sad since they can't afford to do that. I know it is because I'm one of those people who can't afford to upgrade my machine.
