Thanks! I've used Game Maker and Unity in the past, but with HaxeFlixel something just clicked. The fact that it's open source and free to use as well is really the cherry on the cake.
Digital Locker is the way to go. Who, in their right mind, thought is was fine to pay for a "download". Valve understood that early and look where the gaming distribution industry is at: all the big players have the same digital locker solution, which is really just selling a license and offering the download part for free.
Yeah, spotify is not a great deal if you're just using it instead of your CD collection.

OTOH you can listen to hundreds of dollars worth of new music in a day if you want to, with no risk. If you pick something on a whim that turns out not to be good, just move on to the next album or artist. It's like going to a record fair with an unlimited budget, and a truck to carry your finds home in. There is a never-ending supply of crazy stuff on there.

If you use it like this, it's incredible.
Thanks for pointing out. I am going to check this option for my CLI projects.

The obvious advantage to native look and feel is that it will be familiar to users, and that consistency in itself might make for an overall more beautiful look.

If I use 5 applications and they all look entirely different, it will not look beautiful, and each time I swap to a different application I have to re-familiarize with whatever the UI designer thought was a good idea for that application.
>And BTW by "jail time" I mean serious jail time, as in multiple decades of jail time, and/or life sentences if necessary.

Have severe jail sentences rid the world of illicit drugs users, murderers, cutpurses, burglars, vandals, fraudsters, rapists or anything else?

If the chance of being caught and going to jail is lower than the expected gains of not getting caught, criminals gonna criminal. How do you aim to stop that with a threat? Throwing someone in jail is "too little, too late".

The VEP seems to be policy rather than legislation. Meaning that there is no legal obligation for the US Government to abide by it.

If anything, the question is whether the US Government is morally obliged to reveal the vulnerability, given that the risk of not doing so is much higher than the value the government gets from exploiting it as a tool against terrorism. That, I believe, is the EFF's strategy – getting public support and appealing to the government's moral obligation to protect its people.

It is interesting that the solution for order dependency problem essentially turns functions that update the state into functions that writes a program in a mini-language. When interpreted, the language updates the state. In Haskell this is known as Operational Monad [1].

The nice thing with that approach is that it decouples complex application-specific logic from state management allowing to test both components separately. Another bonus is that it enables things like Elm's time traveling debugger [2].

The drawback is that this adds maintenance burden as now one has to deal with the intermediate language. If that language is a poor fit for the problem, the burden can be rather high. This is especially bad in JavaScript where lack of rich static types makes generating programs and writing an interpreter is rather error prone.

Quoting redis docs (http://redis.io/topics/benchmarks):

> When the server and client benchmark programs run on the same box, both the TCP/IP loopback and unix domain sockets can be used. Depending on the platform, unix domain sockets can achieve around 50% more throughput than the TCP/IP loopback (on Linux for instance). The default behavior of redis-benchmark is to use the TCP/IP loopback.

Haven't measured myself though.
I confronted a similar caching requirement (in my case the cache needs to be much larger) in Java recently and chose to implement off-heap for some of the reasons you mention. It avoids GC and heap size concerns entirely and makes it easy to tune the rest of the application's GC profile. Systems handles 45k writes/sec and about double that for reads with very low latency minimal CPU. Implementing concurrent writes/eviction without typical Java concurrency controls was a bit tricky though.

Ok, this is all nice and true, but how would such a thing be handled in practice? There's a difference between "Standards Compliant" and "Does not work for me". Many of the standards compliant cables might work just fine for a majority of users.

Most specifically, the typical non-conformance was a wrong resistor value indicating that an A-to-C cable would be free to draw up to 3A from the A socket. This was in violation of maximum current allowed on an A connector, but I guess this is what many users appreciated, because it made the tablets charge faster.

So, who gets to decide if a USB-C cable is nonconforming? Remember, we are not talking about expensive industrial or laboratory equipment but $10 (or ceaper) cables.

Do I get to send it back to Amazon if it doesn't work with my USB-C device [which itself might be too picky, violating the standard] Or may I send it back when I can show a non-conformance using proper test equipment, even though the cable would work for most users? Does every vendor have to provide a certificate for successful passing of a testsuite/measurement? -- Also keep in mind that the specification doesn't only cover charge currents (which is pretty much exclusively what Benson Leungh had tested).

And when I have demonstratively proven that a cable is dangerous, will Amazon reimburse all buyers?

That's not what I meant. It's got the right easing curves out of the box for most transitions. Sorry for the confusion. But there are definitely some things that take a little more digging around as the documentation doesn't exactly offer "best practice" recommendations in all cases.

It does help to read obj-c code in the RN repo to see what's possible and how things work so you use the right javascript parameters, but you don't normally have to do additional obj-c coding most of the time.

FWIW on KDE you just click the application launcher ("Start" button as it was on MS Windows, not sure what they call it now, "Windows button"?) and type "schedule" or "task" and it suggests Kcron (in system settings it's known as "task scheduler") and gives you a description of its function.

Or use the launcher - which gives a search box that does things like install new apps, work as a calculator, search files, etc.. Or go in to the system settings and type in the search box there for the setting you're after.

If a user can't manage those things then they're surely not going to have any clue what to do with a firewall manager once they've opened it.
Linux has changed my life for sure, like others who have commented here. I just wish there was a bit more commercial support for a true polished, seamless desktop Linux experience (and more OEMs selling machines with it preinstalled).

Google is the only company who has championed Linux for mass market success, but calling Android handsets and Chromebooks Linux computers makes me cringe a bit. But that's what makes it great, being so modular and flexible.

On the flip side, Windows get bashed way too frequently. Say what you want, but since Win8 Windows has been fast, fluid and stable, and gaming and video performance are top notch. That's hard to walk away from when comparing to Linux.
React Native (RN) is not for all apps, it has its uses if what your app does is mainly text delivery, example news app. One of the more complicated app that uses React Native is Discord for iOS (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35309471/is-discord-mobil...), a Slack like chat app. That was then but I'm not sure the latest version is still RN heavy. You can actually build a native iOS app, and then add RN as part of your app. The tweet by Discord that said they are using RN is deleted.

Some reservations to choose RN: RN is possible due to the JavaScriptCore framework build by Apple. It is the bridge between JavaScript code and Cocoa API. Apple designed this so that you can use JavaScript as scripting language for Cocoa. The popular Sketch for OS X is using the precise JavaScriptCore to power its plug-in scripting feature. I guess Apple never have thought JavaScriptCore could be used the way RN does. Choosing RN means your app is relying on Apple's decision on JavaScriptCore API. Someone please enlighten me if RN is still possible or not if Apple remove JavaScriptCore.

JavaScriptCore opens up the Cocoa API, but does not give you a JavaScript ready API. So RN has to implement the bridge internally. So when iOS 10 is released, you will have some lag waiting for new features or changes to be supported by RN. I guess this is common problem to all cross-platform framework.

In order to implement RN for Android, Facebook implements its own JavaScripCore for Android. I have no Android experience, but what I read is RN app for Android is not performing as natively as its iOS counterpart.

If your business rely on all Apple's platform, then choosing RN does not help as there is no RN for watchOS and tvOS.

React Native will make app manager and web-dev team happy, but not those who treasure the last mile UX experiences. But is could also be useful for those startups creating their first MVP. Get app release fast and then change to native codes when you got the traction. Is this good or bad startup advice?

It will be a different ballgame if Facebook announce they are moving to use 100% React Native for Facebook for iOS app.

* I don't think the desktop is almost dead, and I don't think the conclusion of a trend of growing laptop popularity is that the desktop will wither to death anytime soon. The laptop is a great form factor, and I think that it's simply getting the share of the pie that it's always deserved, but I don't think it deserves the lion's share of the pie.

* One reason I think so is that I believe that desktops will have, for the foreseeable future, a better profile of costs over time (serviceability / upgradeability) than laptops, because laptops are basically desktops with a severe constraint for portability. I also liberally speculate that the future maximum potential wealth per individual should decline due to increasing population and a finiteness of materials mined from the earth.

* I think the desktop driver situation is fine, but I acknowledge that laptop drivers are a severe issue that isn't easily resolved. Possible solutions would be, instead of installing a Linux distro on a laptop being an avenue to Linux, people may instead buy devices with Linux already installed on it. Even if the driver solution were magically solved, most people don't install a new OS (however easy that might be) as an avenue to a new OS. Another possibility involves more liberal speculation of industry, with a declining diversity of hardware choices by vendors, or an industry protocol.

* I think the GUI situation on Linux can be improved, but I also think that distros like Ubuntu already offer a great experience with no command line needed.

I'm not sure how the current implementation of Go handles it, but its spiritual relatives Modula-3/Oberon handled this quite well, with a GC for most occasions and ways to bypass this with "unsafe" modules that allowed for untracked allocations/deallocations and pointer arithmetic. It's not really an either/or situation by (language) definition...

>Whereas "We can't have fracking because it poisons the ground water" seems reasonable. Benzene is a known human carcinogen[1][2]

How many people die in auto accidents as compared to Benzene originated cancers? Cars kill humans on a vast scale. They even sometimes kill people who want nothing to do with cars, like pedestrians, or cyclists. If your success metric is "lives saved", then pulling cars off the road is the sure winner, no?

I'm not saying deliberately leaking Benzene into the water system and vehicular accidents are the same. I'm saying this problem is difficult.

Interoperability and the W3C: Defending the Future from the Present
Being a Gentoo user for years, if your issue is the config file updates I would say they are nearly if not the same, AFAIK there are some better tools other than etc-update that may make it easier.

The whole compiling from source well you can avoid some that with binary packages but that is not the focus of the distro, it has always been compiling from source.

About the updates I currently run it on a server and plan on moving my laptop from windows to Gentoo, at least on the server there are no issues, I have a cron to run sync everyday and send me an email report, when where are too much new packages I update it, usually pretty quick, unless there are new versions for gcc or other large packages (gcc takes 15min). I would say give it a try again.
The answer seems to be "install it from the Ubuntu Precise repository": https://berezovskiy.me/2015/02/update-git-on-debian/

Go is just functional enough for me to free up some boilerplate that I feel more productive there. Structs and funcs are 90% things, and I only use a receiver on a func if it helps to clarify an operation or mutate that value.

A lot of my time is spent writing and reviewing Java code, which I still enjoy a bit.

Amazon has a genuine problem with their reputation brewing at this point. Here's an example:

Try to buy replacement printer ink for a HP 8600 printer. This is a super common machine sold on special in Costco and Best Buy, possibly the most popular general purpose printer out there.

Seriously, go to Amazon's site and try to just buy some replacement cartridges for it. The first result looks great, tons of reviews average almost five stars, appears to be sold by Amazon and made by HP:
http://www.amazon.com/HP-Magenta-Original-Cartridges-CR314FN...

Now scroll down and look at the top customer reviews. Something is going on here. Are these real or refilled? Who exactly is selling them? OK go back to search results and look again. But there isn't any entry that stands out as obviously just made by HP and sold by Amazon, they all have similar problems.

Ugh. This of course happened to me the other day. I spent 10 minutes trying to just figure out how to buy real OEM printer ink, gave up, and navigated over to HP.com where aside from typing in all my info again, it was painless and next day shipping was free.

This has become a constant problem that Amazon has to fix.

The next exercise for the reader is to try to find a pair of genuine Apple OEM headphones, the kind that come with the iPhone, that can be bought with actual confidence. That should be the easiest online shopping task imaginable, but it's literally impossible at this point on Amazon. Not slightly frustrating, impossible.

And don't get me started on the switch to USPS shipping.

Despite their seeming chokehold on online shopping, Amazon is vulnerable to competition that can solve these kinds of problems.
