(caveat: Volt owner)

I would make the case for either a volt or if you are a motorcycle person check out the Zero line. I am electric only on my volt probably 29 days a month. 30-50 miles of battery is enough for 99% of what I do, but having the option to go much further and not be limited by having to wait for charging is a huge plus to me. On the rare times I do need to go further it usually turns into a several hundred mile trip, at which point a Tesla isn't a whole lot of help. Additionally, I have no concerns with where or how I can get maintenance done...Chevy dealers are everywhere. It is my only vehicle and I am a happy camper (literally, I have taken it camping).

The Volt is far from perfect, but my friends with Tesla S's seem to report a similar number and type of issues. Having sat in and driven their cars I would say that the fit and finish on the Tesla is marginally better but at 3x the cost...and that margin is not enough for price jump. Every person I know with a model S owns a second car, I don't...that money goes into an investment account.
So don't allow contractual exceptions. Incidently almost all union workers make more than minimum wage.

I'm the author of the article, and I agree 100% with you: there are definitely application-specific memory management schemes that beat both malloc and automatic GC. In fact, I'm working on one right now: it's a way of storing a huge balanced tree data structure in arrays to save space.

The reason U.S. farmers created the dustbowl was, in part, because they were immigrants from the European temperate forest biome and had no idea how to farm properly in the grasslands of the American west.

The Dutch are not master farmers, you are just in a fairly moist climate and the culture has been relatively uninterrupted due to political strength that you obtained through the plunder of the developing world. I don't think your water security is anything to be proud of. How is water security in the former Dutch colonies these days?
In NYC I've had uber drivers from all over the globe (they love to tell stories about their home countries!), I can't remember the last time I've had a white uber driver. There's quite a few that used to be cabbies or worked for private cab companies. Maybe that's just NYC, though.

Thank you so much! I appreciate all the work you've put into Grunt even though I personally prefer Webpack, configuration, HotModuleReloading and I've been able to make it work with webcomponents and reactjs. At work we use Grunt so maybe this will help me at work but I am actively trying to convince my team to switch to Webpack.
Which is why I have been learning and using emacs daily for a few years now, and it's amazing how much more powerful it is than I ever seem to fully understand. I'll think "now I have it all like I want it", and then a few months later I learn about a way to do X.

Especially as a sysadmin, I spend so much time in a ssh cli, that part of my reasoning was "I want to be able to do all my normal tasks without the gui." Gmail, news, and rss in gnus, irc in erc, org-mode (loving export to latex for reports), eww for browsing, and who knows whats next. Elixir and go modes are improving too, and my general productivity due to staying mostly inside a single ecosystem has really improved.

Another reason I have done this though, is I feel like it's less about gui vs text, and much more about FOSS vs proprietary. In a few years when everyone has an iBrain with Apple (NSA) inside, I intend to have a MEmacs brain that I have control over.

I think RMS will be vindicated in history as a man far ahead of his time.

Why is this article talking about idempotence? I don't see why that matters in the slightest for a unix pipe. Idempotence only matters if you're going to take the output of the pipe and run it back through the pipe again.

There's a bit later on about idempotence and newlines, but I don't see what that has to do with idempotence. Vim will append a trailing newline if the file doesn't have one, sure, but if I pass the output back through Vim again, it won't append another trailing newline, it'll just preserve the existing one, so if the vim command you run is idempotent then the whole thing will still be idempotent.

I'm guessing here that the author is simply confused about what idempotence means. Because of the newline bit, I'm going to guess that what the author means by "idempotence" is "any text that the vim filter isn't supposed to modify will be left exactly as found in the input", but that's not what idempotence is, and I'd also say that that property is pretty much a given for any kind of text transformation used in a pipe, because if it doesn't hold then why are you even using that tool?
Check the title of the article. I'm comparing GC verus malloc+free specifically.

Just in case you don't know, tptacek is a world-class security/cryptography expert who happens to hang around and share his wisdom here. You appear to be assuming he's someone thinking one or more levels lower than you. I think it would be smarter for you to assume that he fully understands your argument but is thinking one or more levels higher than you.

I'm surprised by this statement. After recent events I'd say the imessage protocoll is a weird ad-hoc construction that failed to follow basic modern crypto constructions like authenticated encryption and forward secrecy. I don't expect anything alike from the signal protocol.

I've heard stories about inspection for the keyboards but never experienced it myself. I only have been working for the past 5 years but for something you say happen once a month, it look like I'm pretty lucky. I'm on an English keyboard by the way.

I guess there is language racism, people here are expected to speak English when most of us doesn't handle it that well. When we travel in an English country, we have to speak in English, when we travel to a Spanish country, we do our best to talk Spanish, we expect the same of you. Sadly even people that have been here for a long time doesn't even try to learn French. Most of the superior I had are only speaking English.

Don't you learn Spanish as a second language in US? How would you react if you would be expected to use Spanish that much?
Is it still the case that verifying a user's text identity does not verify their voice identity and vice versa?

IMO it would be very nice if calling someone and verifying the short code would confirm their text identity as well and if, once someone's text identity is verified, if voice calls to that person were protected by the verified text identity.

(IIRC the reason that Signal does not work this way is that texts use Axolotl whereas voice uses ZRTP and the key material is completely independent.)
Sure, see all the graffiti everywhere? Laws aren't protecting that art, au contraire.

The concept of copyright became stronger as lobbying and surveillance state became stronger.

Creative people will create regardless. Creative people who have ample free time and who don't have to think about bills much, will create more and, more importantly, more accessible works. The sophisticated thing to do is to allow copying anybody's ideas¹ and give people a guaranteed income².

¹ I think plagiarism, ie not giving credit where its due, should be punished. I'm not sure if it should fall in the realm of the law though, maybe it could be kept check under social pressure.

² If it can't be universal, then make it scholarship based, subject to renewal, or something.
High local prices can be addressed with "distributed sprawl". ie growth in other cities.

These are fair responses, but I'd like to push back on the idea that turn-by-turn is a suitable replacement for experience. In practice, an Uber driver relying on GPS in a neighborhood he's unfamiliar with is a driver who is making a lot of wrong turns, using streets that have better alternatives, and sometimes even attempting to use routes that are closed.
> I own the finest luxury automobile GM makes, the Cadillac Escalade.

It may be the most expensive and grant you the most prestige among a certain cohort, but it's not the "finest". Putting a Cadillac badge and some extra features on a truck doesn't change the fact that it's a shiny wrapper on a pickup truck chassis.
I am male, and I am (too often) an arrogant jerk.

If I'm trying to learn something, I assume that I'm smart enough to learn it, no question. If I don't understand it, it's because you didn't teach it well enough - it's your fault, not mine.

So I have no problem saying "I don't understand", because I have no self-image at stake. It's not enough to penetrate my arrogance. And when I say "I don't understand" in a group, I'm often not just speaking for myself. There are others there who don't understand.

That's what this lady is doing, only (hopefully) without the arrogant jerk part. She's decided that she can admit when she doesn't understand, without it threatening who she is. It's very freeing.

I got it as a side effect of being arrogant, but she got it by being brave. More power to her.
The 500e is pretty cheap in California due to federal and state income tax credits and the oddities of the CARB emission credit systems. Their website lists the starting price in CA accounting for all the incentives as ~$18k, and there have been $99/month leases popping up every so often.
>OTOH the Model S is the most well manufactured anything I've ever sat in.

I'm not sure I'd agree. The much of the interior and door handles felt very low quality to me. Theres just too much creaking/give on a light touch.

The central console is also pretty underwhelming. It's UI is gaudy and slow. The maps stutters and lags like a cheap ass Android phone from 2010 and the display isn't particularly bright or high contrast.

I think BMW is doing the best right now. Their UI is a bit gaudy too but at least it's responsive.
Realtors alway say things like that, they're impossible to prove false and gives a sense of urgency. Realtors make money the more that houses change hands, and make money faster the faster they change hands.
There are often more than two sides though. You have to draw the line somewhere. There is a limit to how far this logic will go.

You only need to be able to understand a valid argument. The problem is that everyone will evaluate "valid" by their own beliefs and worldview.

Hey thanks for these comments, this is great.

Click-on-document to add an element is good, I definitely need to add that.

As I'm sure you know, there's a tradeoff between it being dead easy and therefore free-form, vs a) more secure or b) guided ("need signature page 4"), since those both require additional interactions on one end or the other. I started with the minimal case but I do want to offer more sophisticated features as an option.

A self-hosted version is an interesting idea, hadn't thought of it, but should be able to do it.

I'll address some of these items as soon as I have time. Thanks a lot for writing up your thoughts.

Be careful of overgeneralizing from the subset of the population you interact with in tech. For example, according to this FiveThirtyEight piece from last year, the actual trend is that college-educated millennials are slightly more likely to move to a subset of dense cities. [1] In general, it's unclear how much of an overall urbanization trend there is.

Some companies do. That's definitely a nasty pitfall that most customers would like to avoid. You'd have to review the specifics of the Grafana contract to find out exactly what is and is not covered. Patent infringement insurance isn't cheap, and they'd need it to cover their potential risk. With smaller SaaS startups, I can see how that might be an issue for them to cover.

The truth about WebMD, a hypochondriac's nightmare and Big Pharma's dream
My understanding is that Stripe is pretty much the de facto solution to get started with credit card payments on your site, and if you're relatively low volume you can review for fraud and manually reject it yourself.

I've set up stripe before, so I have a casual understanding of how it works, but I'm curious what an attacker would be able to do (worst case) if a server I have Stripe payments on gets rooted. Are they only able to charge legitimate customers' cards for the period of time that a payment token is active? Or I suppose they could re-direct the payment page to their own payment page. If they steal the Stripe secret key is there a way they can steal money using it? (other than just bulk testing if they can charge cards)

I'm a little confused. So you want to potentially give the police access to additional evidence (via your passwords/decryption keys) in the hopes that they will fuck something up or make a custodial error in the process of recovering it? You have everything to lose by giving them your passwords, even if you are innocent of the charges. You're under no obligation to give them your passwords or empty the contents of your brain in their presence. Why give them the opportunity to find something else? Who knows whether the machine has something they will find interesting. You shouldn't be providing LE with anything like this absent the advice of your attorney. There's too much to lose.

I really want to encourage you to read the following: https://www.eff.org/issues/know-your-rights

2) As long as we assume that society continues on its current trajectory forever, then yes, there's nothing to worry about.

Well this part is still very troubling. Yes, only speculation, but informed and reasonable speculation none the less...

Given his early morning wake-up call last week and the fact that he may now have to get rid of his computers because he can't be sure what the police did to them while he was being questioned outside his apartment, Robinson says he may have to reassess whether it's practical for him to stand on that principle.
The 110k vs 195k is just a comparison, not a statement of possibility.

The difference is that free() needs to be able to free objects one-at-a-time without knowing their size, and without moving any live data around. This inevitably leads to fragmentation, one way or another.

The one thing iMessage and WhatsApp have in common is that they both end-to-end encrypt without giving the user control over the keys being used.

So ignoring actual protocol and implementation flaws (I agree with you that WhisperSystems will probably be ahead of Apple there), both rely on the key management being done in a thrustworthy manner.

And this is where I trust Apple more than Facebook, especially in light of the recent FBI events. If Apple says they are not maliciously injecting fake public keys for the purpose of surveillance and marketing, I tend to believe Apple.

If Facebook is silent about this, I assume they are doing it.
