This works fairly well in a lot of cases, and I definitely prefer it over page 1. But if you do that, you can't scroll up to see page 19 - you didn't really go back, you were just brought to a one-time page to see that thing you looked at most recently in a massive list. What if you were comparing things on page 17 and 20?

Another approach is with "virtual scrolling", by preserving space for the items above and loading whatever you scroll to - I've seen that once (I forget where) and it was really nice. They didn't tackle the linkability problem tho, and had other issues.

But all of this is fairly complex, and very few sites (or apps!) actually do so. Which is part of the problem.

I don't think you're right about Twitter. Twitter is a real time information company, more or less. No journalists or news savvy people to to Tumblr for content. There is value in having live content coming from "content creators" than in cases like Tumblr where most of the content is not original at all. Twitter doesn't know it's own value because it's poorly run, but I don't think they ever wanted to be like Tumblr.
I think the cruft coincided with a shift in mentality in the Linux world in general.

Quite a number of under the hood changes i see today seem to have originated with developers working directly or indirectly on Nokia's Maemo devices.

In November 2009 the N900 shipped, a clear break with the 770, N800 and N810.

early 2010 Canonical release a new theme for Gnome2, and a year later Unity.

And the same year as Ubuntu gets Unity, Gnome goes 3.0.

And further down the stack you have systemd (2010) that may well be better at home on a phone or similar usage device than a traditional server or desktop.

And then there is Wayland, that one of the principle developers i seem to recall was directly involved with Maemo development.

Never mind going from APM to ACPI (Torvalds have some choice words about the latter) and more recently from BIOS to UEFI.

There is also a changing of the guard going on somewhat. The old hats are hitting 50 and 60, and the people in their 20s and 30s taking over are bringing in experience from the web way of doing things.
Blindsight is a very compelling exploration of the idea that there may be different roles of consciousness in advanced intelligence. We know that a conscious decision on say the visual processing loop ends up costing 120ms or so. Why is this a good thing? What if you can have advanced intelligence without consciousness? Some work in AI (and some worries people have about AI) suggests this may be a real possibility as well.

The end result for me ends up being a much more intense feeling of the kinds of varieties of intelligence that may exist in the galaxy, or that we may end up creating ourselves.
This sounds really cool, but I'm not 100% sure what it means. Is this something that would be included in desktop software for rendering images on the screen, or something more useful for file conversion and running operations on images to produce new image files?
DeepFool: A simple and accurate method to fool deep neural networks
This. Scientific computing is not interested in running in web browsers.

As a former neuroscientist, I occasionally had connectivity analyses that would take 3 weeks to run. No way would I risk slowing it down with anything unnecessary. A 25% slowdown for using VMs in the browser would mean milliseconds for users and days for me.
Search engine agendas
And it would not surprise me if that install base of Android, dwarf them both combined. How much do Google contribute to kernel development?
I didn't even realize that all of these sites were deleting racist and "hate" speech. That's totally reprehensible. Any site that would do that would also delete blasphemy and violations of lese majeste. The worst part is that they justify it with philosophical jumbles like "open policies [are] stifling free expression," as if one person speaking prevents another from also speaking.

edit: also, the "trillion or so dollars of value" that an "expert" ascribed to Section 230 is simply a euphemism for ads. Nothing else.

edit2: Wow. I just realized that the reason I've stopped getting racist hits on search engines in recent years is because they've been removed. Part of the range of discourse disappeared and I didn't even realize it. That's also got to be the reason that comment sections in papers like the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and Washington Post have become racist cesspools. Forums where they could have their mutual appreciation societies away from normal people have been completely hidden from view.

Am I the only person who didn't think the internet was broken before all of this arbitration?
OP is not asking for something that will guarantee a complete, safe write on all systems under all conditions in all logically-possible universes.

OP is asking for something that, if it loses data due to the way the filesystem or operating system behaves, would be treated as a bug in the filesystem or OS, rather than a "lol, this idiot didn't even do (set of syscalls unique to the particular FS/OS combination), not our fault it didn't actually write after it said it would".
The amd64 Linux version of Terraform [1] unzipped uses 739 Megabytes on disk (`du -hc`). It is a collection of CLI tools, or one CLI tool that wraps many provider-specific tools (providers such as aws, azure, etc.).

I noticed this recently when trying to upload a container image that happened to include Terraform.

> I don't see the harm in offering the ability to reserve an instance for a discount.

There is no harm with the discount. The harm is only with lock in. Once you reserve instances, you can not change the type (different CPU / memory ratio), region or the number of instances. Once you reserve, you have to pay for your instances 24x7, whether you use it or not. If you require more capacity than reserved, you need to pay the full rate. If you require less capacity, then you need to pay for the unused capacity. You don't have all these headaches with Google Cloud pay per go and automatic discounts. You simply use as many resources as you want and you get the discounts automatically.
Research indeed shows connection between maternal nutritional status and health outcomes of children. However it's a complicated, non-linear relationship.

There is evidence that individuals born to mothers overweight during pregnancy will as adults be more likely to have metabolic markers of health risk. IOW maternal over-nutrition can lead to offspring having greater chance of being overweight or having related health problems in early adulthood.

I agree a 100% with you.

Find & surround yourself with people who you admire & who are go-getters.

When I wanted to push myself to exercise more frequently, I surrounded myself with people on snapchat, FB, periscope, twitter etc who put out photos and texts which kept me motivated (sub-consciously).

I consider it a special kind of sub-conscious visualization and it works well for me. The key is to find people who you admire.

In your case, go and watch Brian Tracy video and talks.
Listen to or read about people who are go-getters (Forbes/Altucher etc)
Find other productivity podcasts and listen to them when coding.

Just exposing yourself to these will bring out changes in you.

We are what we choose to focus on.
Not all Mac apps are of the "drag to your /Applications folder" variety. Some still come with an installer they expect you to run, and prompt you for admin rights.
Also these words are often used for their idiomatic meaning:

"inshallah" (God willing): Hopefully

"al-hamdu lillah" (praise the Lord!): Fortunately

"wallah" (oh God, wow): I swear, I promise

etc.
Why wouldn't it? Have an automated email sent ~8-11am in the morning their time, personalize it with their name, ask for their thoughts. They either reply or don't - either way, automation made sure you didn't waste any time.
Kernel AIO is virtually unusable for anything other than databases because of all the restrictions you mention, and it can still block in many cases (some of which are runtime conditions like "too many outstanding requests"--no, it doesn't give EAGAIN or such for that; it just blocks). And it doesn't do filesystem operations, only file content operations.

POSIX AIO is backed by a thread pool in glibc.
Hi. I'm the author of the article. And also of Elixir Tzdata and https://github.com/lau/calendar I recommend using Calendar instead of Timex.

I'm curious: Why where you using e.g. GMT+5 or GMT-5?
Good thing the administration started working shovel ready projects in 2009. Otherwise imagine how much less change would there be.

Operating systems kind of suck at it. Which is why for Elixir I made Tzdata (https://github.com/lau/tzdata) not rely on any timezone information from the operating systems. A feature I would like from operating systems is to tell me the true time during leap seconds. E.g. 23:59:59, 23:59:60, 00:00:00 Instead of repeating 23:59:59 or just pretending the leap second never happens.
The Admiral in charge of the US Navy nuclear propulsion program still personally interviews and has final say on any individual applying for surface or subsurface nuke programs. From what I hear, it's a fairly nerve-wracking experience!
> Nice latent bigotry you've got there.

Nice social justice warfare you've got here, accusing me of bigotry for not believing the usual journalistic gospel blindly. I'm certainly implying that reporters often don't tell their audience all the facts to push a specific narrative. Were you in the plane ? me neither so I'm skeptical and just choose not to blindly follow the "muslim thrown out of a plane because muh islamophobia" narrative. The article is one sided, that's not news that activism.

If i'm a bigot then you're the most gullible person on this planet.
What's the pitch for brutalism? At least for buildings I've seen, they have all seemed to fail on a usability and aesthetic side.

Is there something appealing to building a dystopian building?
Here's the announcement:

http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2016/04/16/introducing-gpu...

The size difference between the Objective C and new Swift version is significant:

GPUImage Version	|Files	|Lines of Code

Objective-C (without shaders)|	359	|20107

Swift (without shaders)	|157	|4549
What did you use Audio Hijack for?
I think it's important to read this article (http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2012/02/12/introducing-gpu...) before fully diving into this project. GPUImage (the first version) at a high level gave everyone the ability to create the Instagram effect (realtime video capture and image processing) with little to no effort. Now you will not find "Instagram" in that blog post but I've messed around with almost all of the sample projects in the original codebase and it's hard not to try and create some similar effects, plus I think it's an easy use case to explain to others. With that said, this project goes so far and above Instagram (honestly they shouldn't be compared, but again, easy way to explain it quickly), the use cases are really just limited to what you can think of regarding image processing and rendering.

Edit: Forget my Instagram comparison, Brad gives much better examples in the blog post announcing 2.0: http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2016/04/16/introducing-gpu...
Personal anecdote: I will google "<person> Twitter" to get their Twitter feed so I wonder how many of those searches are not necessarily interest in the service rather interest in a specific person using the service.
Idea: Maybe it's the "sh" in ssh that make it so useful. Environmental variables instead of "HTTP headers". envdir

Opinion: In terms of "authentication" I still think ssh has the edge over anything associated with http/https and www. Two parties should be able to authenticate to each other without involving a third.
"Investors other than Norway invest $860B in coal; money remains fungible and markets remain pretty efficient"
You are right. I have heard that one before too. That one is sort of implicitly covered by this part in the blog post:

"CST is also used for: Cuba Summer Time, China Time, Central Standard Time (Australia). PST is used for Pakistan Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time. If you want a unique identifier for the time zone in the Pacific West of the USA it looks like this: “America/Los_Angeles”."

In this case the name of the time zone "people live in" is "Europe/London", not GMT.

Just showed some of these to a generally non-tech-savy friend who said he didn't like them because they looked "too 90s." Personally I love them because they load fast, are easy to read, and don't require a knowledge of a bunch of different frameworks to write.
Nice work by the author. Honestly, though, it doesn't scratch an itch for me personally, since I'm pretty happy with https://github.com/fatih/vim-go ... This is like the ultimate vim plugin for Go and includes the kitchen sink, remarkably via included go tools for the most part:

- More colors than a christmas tree
- Autocomplete via gocode
- Auto-gofmt and auto-goimports
- Safe refactoring / renaming support
- Follow references / callers / callees via go oracle
- Show test coverage
- Show godocs
- golint, go vet,

And I'm still not remembering like 30 other features. If you're a vim user and haven't checked out vim-go, give it a look.

As someone else had pointed out, this new editor has pointed me in the direction of https://github.com/gdamore/tcell which looks mighty interesting indeed...
One take-home from gt565k's comment is to treat this simply as a psychological issue.

If you approach it this way, it just becomes a matter of re-programming your 'liquidware'.
Could I get https://blankslate.io on here? Is it brutalist enough?
Midbrow dismissal
Some of these sites are so refreshing. I'm starting to get tired of seeing the same "minimalistic" landing pages for every website I go to. This reminds me of a time when the web was younger.
You're right that we have a very strict review process for added permissions, but unfortunately due to the way libraries and Android's manifest merger work, this change managed to slip through our standard review process. We're definitely going to add stricter enforcement to make sure something like this doesn't happen again.

I'm not sure if I understand the categorization of it all, is it non modern web design, or no fluff?

Because you can't compare some to others:

https://context.co.de/ pretty nice, reminds you of man, nice and simple, one could even call it minimalist or whatever...

http://ethanbond.com/ not a bad idea for a simple resume page. it's clean cut.

http://drudgereport.com/ I will never go through that.

In my opinion, ability to describe and define interfaces (i.e. how different components interact) is mandatory.
"whole executable file is loaded to memory at startup" might be something you were going to do anyway, if you are running a latency-sensitive service. There's nothing worse than having to page in parts of the program after it starts serving.
Thank you! I'll take advantage of the author's generosity, making it available is a good thing to do.
There is potentially some bad tech out there, nuclear weapons and man made virii. But the tech being uber isn't evil or bad. Some of the people that use that tech is bad, and uber the company seems to be bad. But there are a lot of people and companies out there that are bad that have nothing to do with "tech"
Perhaps you should join an established company, out find a company that is doing something you like. There are plenty of people out there that want to solve problems. Go find them.

The term "xenophobic" just isn't applicable here. Almost all media deals are location-based. I expect that Netflix tries harder than anyone else to try to break down those license barriers.

I have been fighting for years to get people used to "90s aesthetics." Then again, I think (bitmap) aliased fonts, bitmap gif patterns, classic bitmap icons (susan kare, early KDE, IRIX, BeOS, Plan9, Mac OS 9, etc.), Netscape, CDE etc. were all incredibly beautiful. I have railed against complexity since as early as I can remember.

It's even more important for web design. Give me simple HTML with a touch of css, and javascript only if it's absolutely necessary. I can think of hardly any websites that I would consider "beautiful" these days for exactly this reason.

PS: I'm not sure I would classify these sites as brutalist; perhaps 'utilitarian' or 'functional' would be better descriptors.
It reflects the outsized influence Le Corbusier had in the architecture circle. Many people imitated him and built piles of concrete mostly for government and college projects.
That's not "brutalism" as defined by industrial designers and architects ... yet another idiotic buzzword since "flat design" or "zero ui" don't sell anymore, yet another misused expression by web designers .... Seriously, who is making up that crap ?
About as fascinating as two commenters who think I can't recognize the mocking/parody, and still find it to be equivalent to all the shitty content on the web using this one particularly "weird" headline "trick"? Criticizing something is not a signal that one missed the joke.
I still don't get it in terms of websites even though I get the concrete philosophy. What's linked in OP is a hodgepodge of random crap that doesn't feature concrete architecture's strengths in any consistent way.
I know. The first sentence of the post did not elude me.
Can cause problems while appearing to satisfy the desire for responsiveness. For example, on the iPhone: recent messages or calls may update in the middle of a touch, so the location of the input (thumb) actually initiates a call or brings up a thread not intended by the original display.

Showing what had been, and then updating the action of a display location, creates a UX of "shifting sands".

Often annoyingly occurs with popup ads, but in an iOS app itself is inexcusable.
It appears you need to switch the font to either Courier or Times New Roman before you could get on the list.
I see that for web, as with architecture, "brutalist" is shorthand for "bad"
UTC can also fail if your users need to see or enter times that are not in UTC. E.g. for a meeting or a train schedule or an appointment etc. See this http://www.creativedeletion.com/2015/03/19/persisting_future...
Also, deaths in car accidents are decreasing, so older people are likely to have known more people that died in car accidents in their youth than younger people today.
I'll have to agree it's not a good fit. Seemly the only advantage brutalism has is ease of construction. Given that a site, just like a building, usability and aesthetics will pay off in the long run.
I can't see a consistent trend here. Whereas, I'm reminded of something else that seems similar but makes more sense. Here's a web and software example of that other philosophy.

http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

http://suckless.org/philosophy
"Brutalism can be seen as a reaction by a younger generation to the lightness, optimism, and frivolity of todays webdesign"

...except the links include FFFFOUND, Pokey the Penguin, Craigslist, and The Drudge Report - a website almost old enough that it could vote in an American election.
I think there is a bug in that code. It will not print Nope.
I would rather they focus on making money for Norwegians and making the lives of people in other country better.
HN and reddit are two of the first things I thought of after I saw the first few examples.

If brutalism is favouring functionality over "design", then they are some of the most popular examples I know of.
The bigger question about Norway's $860BB fund is the price of oil. Right now oil is trading at $39.75[1] a barrel. Now that the Doha deal fell through earlier today, it is highly likely that oil will further fall over the coming weeks. Norway, and other sovereign funds, are now liquidating assets to make up for the shortfall in revenue.[2] We're talking about $5.7T in assets across these oil derived sovereign funds. That's a lot of selling folks.

Saying "brutalism" is bad is being totally ignorant of the work of architects like Le Corbusier.

https://goo.gl/T5o4Gk

On the other hand, half of the links on that website are just bad design and have nothing to do with brutalism.
Always called sites like these "utralight" though no idea if that's a standard term.
If these are good actions, then do more. What's the point of half measures?
