I just ruined my search history so let's see if I get my account suspended.
That's fair/true. I should've used language that better expressed it being "tech enthusiasts".
Generally, a "progressive web app" is something that behaves a bit like a regular native app, when the browser supports it and user allows it. This includes using serviceworkers to cache data for offline (and low bandwidth) use, making a home-screen icon that launches a standalone (from the task switcher perspective) window with no browser frame, and so on.
Ok, then you need to learn the things I mentioned. It is not as hard as OP suggests. Based on your comment history, you seem more than capable of figuring this out.
> Rust is still twice as slow as C which is still a fair bit slower than if a skilled assembly programmer had taken on the task.

Really? Are there really people who write (a lot of) assembly in order to get code "a fair bit" faster than C? What on earth are they working on?
This is called Washboard Road, and is a result of erosion. It's very common in the desert and the Midwest.
Why is the Prius so reliable? I know Toyota is good but I would have expected it to be less than the Toyota average because it's a more complex hybrid car.
I'm completely no expert, but wouldn't it be simple leverage to lower prices?

Mr. Apple: "Well, I've been talking to Intel and actually just bought some of their spiffing chips, how much did you want again? Because, you know, Intel said they were totally in to that thing you said no to..."
It used to be a slightly different app on a different link, but that's gone now; this one is the replacement (and what the reception displays now use).
Oh well, another reason to switch to heroin. The FBI can't access your dealer's records.

Seriously though, this is bad for privacy, bad for addicts, and bad for patients who need painkillers.

Who thinks of this shit? Aging drug warriors I suppose.

> I think it's an issue of copyright law being ridiculous.

I disagree, scientists generally aren't seeking to get money by people buying a copy of their paper (if anything they're currently paying so people can read it) there's no need for them to invoke copyright law at all, in fact that would be against their own interest.

The problem is that the current system forces scientists to publish in journals, which will happily charge an arm and a leg for the privilege, and invoke whatever law they can to make more money, even if this goes directly against the interests of the scientists who wrote the papers.
I love the netherlands! It's a lovely country, full of fantastic people and tasty treats. I lived there more than 30 years ago, and I still miss poffertjes and lament to all and sundry the lack of fresh stroopwafels in the US.

But it's roughly the size of the Front Range in Colorado. It's tiny. Serious question: how many places in .nl are > 10km from a city of moderate size? I'm going out on a limb here and suggesting "not many".

MOBA games have an additional challenge in that if one player isn't as strong as the others, he actually makes the opposing team stronger.

If I'm playing, say, MechWarrior Online, and my Catapult K2 is killed by the enemy, that doesn't make the weapons of all the enemy mechs suddenly do more damage. But that's exactly how MOBA games work.

So it seems to me that the game design pretty much encourages this kind of behavior.
DuckDuckGo is pretty fantastic all around.

Bing is alright, to be honest (some of their data widgets are more comprehensive than Google's), but you will find times with Bing that you are sad with the results.
Sorry? Engaging a prostitute is sexual assault?

Suburbia is too broad a category for meaningful conversations to happen around. I assure you the low crime/good school stereotype for instance is not universal.
How usual is it for the court to decline to stay enforcement? What's the reasoning used to not stay? Can this decision itself be appealed?

If it's true that the appeals court would be likely to severely reduce the damage amount, if not overrule the verdict itself, is it reasonable to claim that the decision not to stay enforcement is by itself unjust, in that it effectively robs the defendant of a chance to exhaust the judicial process?

> It is right in front of your nose. Whatever your views of Gawker, Thiel destroyed a news company out of spite. That seems like maybe a little bit of a problem.

Thiel didn't destroy Gawker, Gawker destroyed Gawker. They willfully broke the law. Even put up a self-congratulatory article about how they'd been told to take it down and weren't going to.
You don't generally have to spend money to have children (once you have children, they will create new demands on your money.)
To what benefit on their part? They don't manufacture tires, so they don't profit if you have to replace them more often.

As another commenter pointed out, this is quite common on performance and luxury vehicles because it has handling advantages. If you're buying a luxury car, you're by definition choosing to pay more than is absolutely necessary for (what you consider to be) a better experience. The tires are part of that. You can argue that the line should be drawn elsewhere, but it's not arbitrary, and it's very much in line with the market segment they're going after.

This is how you dump a story. Everyone's on the way out the door for the weekend. Google will publish something "amazing" on Monday morning to excite everyone to the level that people forget Google sold them out three days prior.
In another discussion about the TPP I was pointed to this link:
http://economixcomix.com/home/tpp/

I thought it was a very enjoyable way to learn about the agreement and why one might oppose it.
I keep coming back to a very simple policy: disclosure. When the ACLU pays for lawyers, it's not a secret and e.g. a judge, government official, etc. making decisions about the case does so with full knowledge of who's backing it.

As with campaign finance, this has two benefits: it avoids trying to enumerate all of the ways someone might try to game the system and it addresses free speech concerns by simply requiring attribution in an area where there's a strong public interest.
He's arguing that ORMs break down for complex situations, so you shouldn't use them.

It's a false dilemma. You can use an ORM for a lot of needs and then, when necessary, kick out to SQL. He says this "breaks the abstraction" but who cares? Abstractions aren't laws of physics: do what works.

False dilemmas are the best dilemmas, because you can just ignore them. Unfortunately, programmers seem particularly susceptible to this sort of fallacy. I think it is due to a form of puritanism that I often see in the mathematical mind.
Sound article. Im also a musician/sing writer/web app developer =)

I really like your personal promotion site for development. But I extremely dislike the centered text in all the modals (at least thats how it is on my phone)

Any reason you did that? Makes reading at least twice as difficult.

Still a very nicely done site just felt the need to let you know this.

Why should other countries give those "5 or 10 specific objectives" to American companies in exchange for nothing (since those countries don't really have an equivalent "tech" industry it really wouldn't be mutually beneficial). This is where things like allowing foreign workers to undercut American salaries comes into play.

Mind you, there are apartment complexes in the suburbs, too.

It's just that suburban apartments are large campuses with over a dozen buildings either two or three stories tall, not high-rise towers.

A good rule of thumb is that if buildings taller than 3-4 stories are few and far between, you're in the suburbs.
Yeah, I got ya now. The problem is that repairs can continue. $450 for brakes? Ok. $800 for tires + alignment. $125 for a new battery. $600 to replace a bent rim and it's pair. When data like this indicates that the maintenance cost of BMWs or other vehicles is higher, it's not just a question of quality: many times the parts + labor are just more expensive.
I guess this is a mental failing for me here. When I think 911, I still think of the cars as they were before AWD and traction control. To me, that's when they were the most fun to drive and had fairly homicidal tendencies. That's my ideal 911.

I don't really think of the new ones because they're almost boringly pedestrian to me. Not that anyone should need to drive a dangerous car to have fun -- you don't. I just find the last decade or so (or two even?) of the 911's history to be mostly devoid of character over its competitors.

Edit: Moreover, I don't want any car to be "pleasant" to drive at high speed. That sounds just way too relaxed for that level of speed. It should be pleasant at much lower speeds, absolutely, but honestly anything above 70mph and especially 90mph should require 100% engagement. That doesn't necessitate being difficult, but still not something I want to describe as pleasant. Your grandparents could probably comfortably drive the new GT-R at 130mph in pouring rain. That should absolutely not be encouraged. I've driven at that speed in bad weather and it requires me to be hyper-alert.
Yes. (But I do think the right to tasteless speech is important and worth defending)
This is a completely futile waste of money that goes against any real progress of the human race.

It takes VASTLY more energy to keep a mass of any significant quantity (i.e. human sized or greater) suspended in air with the ability to accelerate the body significantly enough to "drive" it. (granted gliders do not use that much energy, but they are very limited in their maneuvers).

This also seems like a very solved problem: if you want to take off vertically, use a helicopter.

I very much wish the economic and thought leaders of this country would invest to allowing humans to exist and thrive where large amounts of energy are not needed. I know this goes against the power-hungry megalomaniac personality of most CEO's that want MORE POWER!!!! But if we can teach humans to live in "low-energy" states, we will prolong our precarious existence on this planet. We have passed peak-oil, have neared peak-computing. If there was ever a time we as a species could solve the "important problems", it is now.

Those rules (which vary from suburb to suburb, and are by no means a hard rule) are, more often than not, a large part of WHY people choose the suburbs.

Suburbia is a defensive design. Big houses & lots, and lack of public transport, means that it tends to be more expensive and requires reliable access to a car. Low density means that blight doesn't spread as quickly, and geographically-selected organizations (in particular school districts) don't change as quickly, and they're also selecting membership from the same groups that can afford the real estate and transport. HOAs explicitly prioritize maintaining property values.

This all selects for higher-quality neighbors.

There are ways to achieve this in urban settings, but it tends to require more direct, onerous, and legally iffy regulation.
Do you use this? I'm not following why you would want to track your free time in this way.
Interesting perspective.

I wonder if the immigration officers described here actually thought they were being fair, because they were applying the law as written to a white American, even though the law was not written to keep out white Americans.

Which is to say, we can be horrified by the attitudes of the officers, but it's the law that needs to be changed, not their attitudes.
He forgot to mention m.facebook.com . There have been many issues over the years with the mobile site that didn't exist on the main site. Examples:

1) You could invite anyone to a Facebook event via their Facebook ID by simply doing an HTTP post of Facebook ID's to the event invitation script on this domain, but not on the main site. For some reason, on the mobile site they didn't implement the check to see if you were actually friends with the invitee. Since FB sends an email to each invitee, this was an enormous spamming loophole for quite a while.

2) For a long time, there was no frame-breaking script on m.facebook.com. You could clickjack essentially anything on Facebook this way. Years ago I did a proof-of-concept on this where I clickjacked a platform app authorization, which let me receive the name, email, and other profile info of any user that did nothing more than click the X button on an annoying overlay I put on the screen.
How so?

Maybe Ted for fired for sexual harassment of a co-worker. Maybe he worked for HR and rarely, if ever, played LoL in the first place. He'd be fired as a toxic employee without anything in his LoL chat log to hint at it.

What they're saying is that if you have a toxic LoL chat log, you're likely to be a Ted. But the reverse isn't true: you can have a pristine chat log, and still be a Ted.
Interesting to see "conservatives" whining about urban sprawl and blaming it on Keynesian policies now -- while they had originally promoted it for nuclear survivability, improving the "feasibility" of a nuclear war.
>Why does it need to be 2,000 pages and full of complex, obsfucated concepts and details?

The cynic in me says thinks of the TPP as a gigantic pile of economic concessions to specific corporate interests.

The more generous interpretation is that free trade creates winners and losers, but there's generally more winners than losers. The length of the agreement is then the result of multilateral negotiations. Each party realizes - in excruciating detail - how they're getting screwed, and attempts to negotiate concessions for agreeing to the entire thing.
Luxury vehicles (of which Cadillac is) I'll give you.

Performance vehicles I disagree. Handling choices are up to the mechanic/driver and you want to give them options but also make their maintenance choices simple. You should have a wide range of tire options on a performance car.

DuckDuckGo it is then. Bing is still Microsoft's product, so thats a bummer.
Classic suburbia was desirable because it promised living in a newer house with a private yard and a garage, on a low-traffic street, in an ethnically and socioeconomically homogenous neighborhood zoned to a well-performing school. Automobile dependence was a feature to empower the car-owning suburbanite and to restrict the casual exfiltration of people from the city into the suburbs. (These fears, that good-for-nothings will take public transit to cause trouble in the suburbs crop up to this day.)

As suburbs age, their advantages decline. The houses are no longer new, traffic (on all but the leaf-node cul-de-sacs) has increased. When one suburb is built out, the urban area spreads outward, and newer suburbs and exurbs are created. Those that can afford to move do so, slowly decreasing the average income of the neighborhood, which correlates strongly with school performance. Desirability keeps declining in turn.

Some suburbs can avoid this fate by becoming large employment centers, and then we call them edge cities instead (e.g. Irvine, Tysons, Bloomington).
It's a spectrum to me. We're way behind the curve on monitoring and the "state of the art" in, anywhere but cutting edge shops, is woeful. I'd love folks to be able to anomaly detection easily and simply but the technology and tools aren't quite there yet. I am just hoping to get folks to advance their environments a little way forward.
Whenever you see conservatives complaining about anything related to the Keynesian regime, you can bet you're reading a bunch of horse-shit with little if any basis in fact.

Government policies didn't create suburbs, people trying to get out of cities did, not everyone likes city life and it's cheaper to live further out than it is in the city. Suburbs are the natural result of a car culture and plentiful land to build on. No Keynesian conspiracies required.
911's start in the low $100k range. "On paper" the Ferrari 488 is ~$250k, the Lamborghini Hurrican is ~$210k, and the McLaren 570 is ~$190k. You can easily drive a 911 home for close to that $100k price. You probably cannot drive a 488, Hurrican, or 570 home for less than $250-$275k. Maintenance is similarly expensive.

I agree that the Boxster/Cayman are more aligned with "entry level sports cars".
I think I brought this up last time there was a post about Your Mechanic. But I am still curious about it. I wonder how much their data is skewed by the fact that they're a third-party mechanic. I don't think they necessarily see a representative sample of cars and problems, especially in the early years. I have owned different kinds of German cars for the past 15 years, and they've all gone to the dealership for the vast majority of service for at least the first 5-7 years.

I only take new-ish cars to a third party if I need something the dealership doesn't specialize in (body work, tires, etc.). I'm not that price-sensitive about service, and I like the dealership experience (nice new loaner cars, all the parts are on hand, etc.). So I'd wonder what it is that drives people to Your Mechanic, and if that affects the volume and type of problems they see. For example, maybe people are more likely to use them if they have just received a large estimate for a major problem from the dealer. Or people who are more price sensitive go there, which might skew the mix of models they see. And so on.

While this is interesting data, I have a hard time considering it representative of reliability as a whole without some additional context.
Clinton vs. Snowden
Of the very many terrible things in these trade treaties (most notably the massive expansions of copyright and patents), this is one of the few that seems helpful. It's a step towards not having to care (as much) about national borders on the Internet. A company providing a service accessible to the entire Internet should not have to worry about jurisdictions other than their own.
> For example, plenty of websites (google docs, dropbox etc) offer an 'anyone with this link can view document' option. Which is generally safe, given these randomly generated links usually contain > 100 bits of entropy. Access to the link is access to the document, and so the link is a PW.

This isn't really particular safe even if its unguessable, its more the internet equivalent of a casual privacy lock.
For low volume projects it is clearly too expensive.

I prefer a volume based pricing model like 5apps is offering it: https://5apps.com/deploy/plans
Anybody who runs a service where data must be stored in the country of the customers/participants/whatever wants this. If you do self-hosted services normally this is a huge PITA.

Pretty much what I thought, thanks!

I'm a fan of the concept, hating apps that could easily have been webpages (public transport apps are often a good example), so it sounds like a good idea to give this a name and promote it. It's too bad that this name sounds like Microsoft came up with it in the early 2000s, but oh well.

Any place with a parking lot can do that, and there are better options to spending 20 minutes at a convenience store while your car charges.

"security concerns".

India has been learning from how developed countries deal with pushing down an unpopular piece of legislation.

Street view would decimate long held views about India. Posh localities would have slums nestled in a couple of streets as they form the workforce (drivers, maids, street vendors, etc) of those localities.

Not to mention display their corruption for the entire world to see. Sanctioned repairs are sometimes covered up and potholes covered with sand and water(!). Or how public land is discreetly and illegally converted into a lot to be sold off to the highest bidder or a relative of some minister.
Just to clarify that the whole banking system was locked up and there was no capital. In a normal market GM and Chrysler could have done what Ford did.

Ford was in better shape than the others because they had mortgaged everything before the financial system locked up. That means they also started improving everything sooner.

From my perspective in Michigan the auto bailout was a huge success. My friends in the industry report that most of the cruft in the big three was cut or let go and they really shifted the culture. The whole industry is focused on technology. The suppliers survived. Hundreds of thousands of jobs exist because of the injection of liquidity.

Wrong. I specifically mentioned IPFS and would introduce storj, sia, maidsafe, etc as deemed worthy.

Not the one I'm talking about. HTTP isn't even in the picture. Please please read my post that mentions non-HTTP.
