If the sea is still enough to land, it's still enough to take time securing. The previous stage was secured by tying down the thrust structure ("octaweb") to tack-welded fixings on the deck with hoofing big chains. There may also have been shoes, we couldn't see clearly.

Tack-welding fixtures to a steel deck is apparently SOP in big shipping, so it's not as radical as it sounds.

Not sure what evidence there is that the quality of leaders has changed, but there is evidence that both (a) we perceive strangers differently (compared to say the 1960s), see Robert Putnam's book Our Kids and (b) there are cognitive biases that push us to think things are getting worse (declinism, rosy retrospection, positivity effect).

Please, do not make me spend the whole afternoon just to get one gnu domain up. One little quickstart page should show just two commands, e.g.

Yeah, that sounds like a broken process.

The story is the last possible moment of decision making before the developers go and develop something. Obviously it may need further refinement at a later date once you have learned something. But, by definition, you now know -everything that can be known before development starts-, because development is about to start. As such, anything, -anything- that remains unspecified, is, again, by definition, undefined. It may be worth explaining that if failure conditions remain undefined, then you will ignore them for convenience, because whatever you decide to do will almost assuredly be wrong. If the product owners want -any- say in what it does in the event of something going wrong, and don't want it to be a surprise, and require even more work, then now is the time to say something.
Regarding the good move, from the wikipedia article linked above:

After their initial reluctance Greenpeace embraced the result of the popular vote and used the name at the center of its campaign. The added publicity, at no cost to Greenpeace, gave it enough impact to convince the Japanese government, and the plan to hunt Humpback whales was abandoned in December 2007

Now that is a great result.
"Juvenile", oh please. There's miles of difference between juvenile and irreverent.

What I would love to see is how many plays/streams each number one got "this" week by comparison. It would be interesting to see the longevity of some of the songs as a replacement for "good", i.e. are there hit songs from the 60's or 70's that still get way more plays than hit songs from the 90's or 00's.

Anyone else watch the video and notice all the falsehoods?

Allegedly, previous to WS, the only alternatives were flash and polling! Except that long-polling isn't really polling in any meaningful sense (they very clearly describe polling that isn't so-called long-polling), and in particular doesn't have the latency-vs-bandwidth tradeoff and impact that actual polling has.

Allegedly, WS are "exponentially more efficient"! Except that they're not, they're more efficient by a constant factor.

Allegedly, the range of bandwidth saving is 99.8% to 99.9%! Except that obviously if you're passing enough data around in few enough responses, the bandwith savings could be more like 5% or 10%, and I find it hard to believe that typical uses actually save over 50%.

I sure do think web sockets are sweet, but wouldn't it be nice if there was some way to hold liars accountable?
> I think there is noticeable deterioration in music quality of the top hit during the past millenia.

Maybe the top hits, but not music in general.

The main reason is, in my opinion, the diversification of styles and the more varied tastes of the listeners.

For example, a lot of the music that I listen to would never be played on the radio (partly because this was not the main intention of the artists).

The other reason is, of course, the business-ification (?) of music - we have no problem with the term "music industry" it seems.

There are bands which are "companies", and they produce "products" which happen to be songs.
They invest a lot in PR and marketing, they research and deliver what the market wants, just like a for-profit enterprise would. This is somewhat opposed to "true" artists, who express their feelings and emotions through music.

I've always looked skeptically at these "tops", because they are not about music, but about the business behind it.
Some of the songs, though, are good and I enjoy hearing an older song because it reminds me of certain time-space points, which is to say, they bring good memories about when I was younger.

People would refer to "The Software Development Life Cycle", which was by all means a waterfall-esque process (look it up on Google, you'll see the classic waterfall diagram used for it). The word itsself may have been coined as something to compare Agile against, but the process itself existed, and existed long after Agile had "won" in more traditional companies.

I ran projects that ran through a VERY traditional waterfall process as recently as 2010.

Sure, there's a certain stigma attached to anyone who enjoys Japanese culture -- older white men included. But even then, one of the words that pop into my mind when thinking about said stigma isn't rape. It's weeaboo, nerd, otaku, geek, parents basement, neckbeard, etc etc etc.... I say that as someone who enjoys japanese culture from time to time myself. Not anime, but j-dramas, movies and their music. Especially their music. It reminds me of how music was here in the 90s (not as manufactured, still a lot of experimenting going on, etc).

On the Democrat side, it is a rigged system. The concept of "super delegates" who don't vote by primary voter choice - instead they vote by some nebulous concepts such as "democrat purity" - has meant the Clintons' deep connections have triumphed over the enthusiasm that Bernie has supported.

On the Republican side, Trump did something I don't think people quite get yet. He basically became a gaffe machine and didn't walk it back. Everyday was 2 or 3 gaffes that kept him in the news. He covered one gaffe with another.

Christian Grothoff is an excellent academic. In fact, he is one of the most knowledgeable in the field worldwide.

Unfortunately, that's why ,IMHO, GNUnet didn't succeed. To build a successful product/network, you need to be practical, and you need to make useful features/services available as early as possible (without compromising security of course). Designing with pluggability and forward-compatibility in mind helps in this regard.

Academic perfectionism, however, can delay your product/network launch indefinitely. And that's what seems to have happened with GNUnet.

a) something works on someone only when you describe it to that someone

b) something works only on some people, not all of them and you don't know why.

EDIT: some people didn't understand that what I'm implying with the above points is that hypnosis is more akin to the placebo effect than anything else(altered state of mind etc).
> [mocking HTTP..] We’re still completely implementation-dependent. If we want to pass a new query string parameter to our service, for example, we’ll also need to add it to the test so that nock will match the request.

Yes, if you change your API you need to update your tests anyway.

---

I haven't played with it or looked at the code, but the only advantage I see is speed of writing tests: hit run, store the "tape" and you don't have to write any specific mocks (which makes it very good imo). Except when you want to test edge cases (specific error messages from the server, time outs during response, errors on the network level, etc).

I wouldn't talk about the speed since it should be the same as a traditional mock.

> Look, no implementation details!

Isn't the HTTP module considered stable? So your API is more likely going to change then node's HTTP implementation (when was the last time this changed?). In which case you need to record new tapes anyway.
Appealing and persuasive aren't the same things; Trump is "appealing" to a certain demographic and mindset of the U.S population and that's how he bulldozed the GOP - he was charismatic to the right group of people at the right time. The GOP really did it to themselves... they moved so far right over the last 30 years that this happening was inevitable. I remember saying back in 2008 that if the GOP keeps this up (anyone remember Palin or Huckabee?), they're going to have have some batshit crazy candidate running for president. And here we are. He's not convincing anyone who believed something different; he's just pandering to an already primed base (a base which has been moving further right ever since Reagan beat Carter). I think opportunist would be a better word here.
