Well, collecting the data yourself and writing the code yourself would be even more independent.

Indeed. I am just old enough that I more or less missed the pokemon craze growing up and to me it is a very noticeable generational signifier. For the millenial generation it's ubiquitous, to an insane degree. So it shouldn't be any surprise that a new game would generate huge adoption and enthusiasm, the only difference today is that the game is a different kind of game, and for various reasons is causing people outside the pokemon fanbase to take notice. But again, this shouldn't be surprising. The pokemon franchise has earned $46 billion. That's an average of $2.3 billion every single year for the last 20 years (which is how long it's been around). It's a more dominant media franchise than the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, or Harry Potter.

The fact that anyone is at all surprised by the success of Pokemon Go is a testament to their ignorance of cultural phenomena they simply care to ignore.

The game has different layers. Personally I just try and catch pokemon. 'Winning' would be getting all 150.
i meant pocket the difference in time saved. Nice added benefit is irs doesn't tax time off, energy saved, or happiness.

you can use that time and energy to make money elsewhere or invest in learning, networking, understanding your bureucracy.

but i am sure there are companies where your bonus depends on your performance vs. your proposed budget. If you are not being rewarded for improved productivity and being treated as a commodity, why should you pass on your internal productivity gains.

sometimes you want more work (responsibility). that's how you get experience and a bigger budget. Even if you can only spend the budget for work things, you still gain autonomy and power.
Sounds like the distro problem. Yes, a lean, mean, linux machine is great, but when you have to hunt around for all the tools you want, it becomes a pain to manage. Far nicer to have a curated set of tools that most people can agree upon.

In this case, mjolnir, the lean mean core, then the various subprojects, and finally the "distro", containing a curated set of popular modules that people can download as a turnkey system. Then, if you want your own custom setup, minus the bloat, you can set up your own distro. If you just want to use the damn thing and don't care about how the sausage is made, use the "recommended" distro.
I am not a fan of the "Right to be forgotten" but I am an even less happy with the idea that just because they are so good are providing searching that somehow they aren't allowed to favor their own interests. Are we to treat them as a utility or such simply because they spent the time and effort to become so good?
Financially responsible people are far more likely to keep and maintain their stuff in good condition over long periods of time. That is a huge (and often overlooked) aspect of saving.
It takes money to save money.

People seem to think that poor people can't manage money; but the fact is that they're maximizing quality of life for the income level they have.

I don't think you understand what elcapitan means by numerically stable.

Numeric stability is a function of the environment. If I take an algorithm designed for 128 bit IEEE binary floats and implement it on a system with 64 bit floats, then it may be unstable.

That doesn't say anything about the correctness of the original method for the original environment. It only means the method wasn't designed for the new environment.

You are used to a world where computers are a commodity, likely based around the Intel architecture, and almost certainly using IEEE floats.

I tried to enjoy ingress, but didn't and I enjoy pokemon go.

Obviously the Pokémon brand is a draw, but ingress felt like a platform for a game that people had to construct. I got contacted by people who told me I needed to join these groups and talk in these IRC channels to have fun. I live in an area that's not so tech-savvy so there's few ingress points / Pokéstops but I can still walk over to the park and wander around some time through the few Pokéstops and gyms there are and have a lot of fun.

To me, ingress feels like an endless RPG quest where you have to retrieve items from various points. Sure, if you gather and co-ordinate efforts over the IRC channels and chat rooms I was invited to promising great depth you can create enough of a social element to make it pretty fun but I could be doing anything else.

With Pokémon Go, I feel confident to flip it out anywhere and gain a little bit of ingame development and fun that I can share with my friends, and I don't lose anything if I don't.
I'm sorry but could someone explain to me the point of this?

I can see it be amusing to have repos with pokemon names, but for practicality, I would have no idea what they are for by reading the name.
I still play snake

Why don't they just put their money in a bank, or invest it?
This makes me laugh my ass off. This is a bit of a pet peeve I have with people and modern technology. They believe they have a right to use a service even though they're not paying for the usage of the service. Then they turn around shocked and angry when the free service is removed. `Why! why did they do this to me, this is the biggest injustice! How un-professional of them!`.

Kind of like the dicussion I have with my collegues that `shouldn't you know.... support the open source frameworks we use to make money with?`... `Why would we do that?` ... Kind of leaves me speachless.
It's at the lowest level so it's unaware of multiple tasks. If there are multiple stacks you'd have to switch. At that point an MMU would be more suited to the job but of course that's a whole different environment.
I'm the opposite... I would love a Pokemon MMO (imagine WoW with Pokemon!)
The problem is, Google actively advertises their reliability and does not actively encourage backing up your account to protect yourself from Google deleting you. As many people perceive that Google is incredibly unlikely to lose your data, this isn't usually thought of the way you immediately tend to think you need a backup of your hard drive in your PC.

Very few people backup their Google account regularly (or at all), even though Google Takeout is available. People should, but I'd argue part of the burden is on Google for misleading them into thinking they don't need to.
Culture played a big role in Pokemon Go's success. This culture is shared with adults and children across multiple countries. It also has a touch of nostalgia, which is pretty potent.
> I want to teach myself how to program

Great!

> Should I build a mobile or Web app?

As artellectual says, it depends on what you want to do, between those two.

But there are many more types of software beyond web or mobile apps. You could write personal programs that run locally, for your own use (and which are a good way to learn, since you're scratching your own itch). There's math, science, embedded, financial, etc. Any of these might be standalone programs, or they might run on a web server with a browser front end. You might program on the front or the backend.

If you want to learn "to program," here are a few resources:

It is not paranoid, it isn't even secret.

Koch Brothers
Exxon
Heritage Foundation

are just 3 examples. It is absolutely within the purview of science to consider these things, as is anything. You can't just declare it off limits. We observe and have records of these groups paying people to write fake sciency-sounding reports on climate science constantly.
Actually, he is probably correct, but I think in his case the opposite is happening from the article.

With USB 2.0 and before, USB ports would have input filtering so that this RF energy would be attenuated before entering the system. With USB 3.0, there is so much speed (5 Gbit/s!) that a 2.4 GHz transmit signal is actually inside the bandwidth of USB 3.0, so it can't be filtered out as easily.

So, depending on the cabling inside the computer and the design of the motherboard/system, it is definitely possible that some of this energy from the nearby transmitter is leaking out into other areas (ground planes, power planes, etc.) where it would be coupled into the audio path in USB 3.0, but attenuated with USB 2.0.
We'll see what happens when profitability takes a dive.
If I could regularly have my computer auto-request a Takeout archive, and then auto-download it when Google notifies my email it's been completed, that'd be a tool I'd enjoy having.
Great idea to leverage GitHub pages! Not sure if this has been done before but this is certainly a lucrative SaaS opportunity due to the non-existent marginal cost of creating a GitHub site.

Couple of nitpicks about your landing page:

- Syntax / typo: "no server's rent" --> "no server costs to pay" or similar

- Please do your visitors a favour and add controls to your YouTube embed. It might seem 'aesthetically pleasing' to have a sleek video but it's an explanatory film that a user A) might want to full-screen (lots of small text) and B) might want to be skip around in

Would also consider changing 'About Us' to a marketing-style header pushing the product itself (as it's not really an 'About Us' anyway) as well as an explanatory line or two that explains the product properly and succinctly, as icons alone don't really suffice IMO.

Other than that, great concept — and great start!

Genuine question: Is there any attraction of this tool for folks who already know how to use a static site generator (SSG)? I'm guessing most people who understand how to use git could catch onto an SSG overnight.

There has been enough raw data and code out there for an amateur to confirm that global warming is real for decades. I did it myself ~10 years ago. Here is a small subset of data and code that is public domain:

Ingress is also really bad if you're surrounded by higher-level players; there may be nothing for you to do in your area.

Pokemon Go is not actually all that tied to a specific location. You need a few Pokestops nearby, but as long as the Pokemon spawn frequently enough around you you can play.
Same question, but s/running repl in an Emacs buffer/authoring in org-babel/ - I have a hard time seeing Jupyter and friends as anything other than a subset of what people have been using org-babel to do for years, and I'm not really sure whether that's an accurate perception or not.
The section in question, "A quick aside on colon syntax", is referring to the code from the section above it, "Introduction to window movement":

local win = hs.window.focusedWindow()
local f = win:frame()

win is presumable a copy ("instance") of the table hs.window created by focusedWindow().

Meaning hs.window.focusedWindow() returns a copy of the hs.window table.

With that being said, win.frame(win) would just be hs.window.frame(win), so you're also correct. It's just a poorly worded example explaining Lua's colon syntax feature.
Most of these require (or are at least significantly easier with) some level of wealth already.
Also from the same site:

> "Since the industrial revolution in the 18th century, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (an important greenhouse gas) has risen significantly above the level it would be naturally. It now stands at over 400 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere. Evidence from ice cores (see Lesson four) tells us that the normal level for CO2 in the atmosphere during ‘interglacial’ times (such as the Holocene in which we now live) is 270 to 290 ppm, and that at no time over the last 800,000 (the time covered by ice cores) has the CO2 level been as high as it is now. (CO2 is thought to be at its highest level for three to five million years.)"

In-browser applications and virtual machine technology are both poor work-arounds to the same problem: that the design of modern operating systems gets it so badly wrong. If I can run completely different operating systems on top of another inside a VM application, why shouldn't I be able to run those other operating systems as applications? If I can run Javascript downloaded from the internet that is JIT-compiled to native code inside a browser application, why can't I just run native code downloaded from the internet directly (with the same security - such as it is - as Javascript code). Why should I be able to access one set of APIs from Javascript code, and a different set of APIs from native C++ applications, etc.? Why should I be able to set up and migrate a development environment in a VM and transfer it between computers but I can't set up a separate development environment natively in the OS for just one or a few applications and export it and all its dependencies just as easily as exporting a VM? In other words, if what I care about is about 15MB of customized files and 100KB of OS settings customization, why should I have to put 1.2GB of operating system files and other junk into a VM to make it sandboxed and portable? (I'm speaking in this latter example a Linux project called Code Data and Environment which accomplishes something like this by analyzing what files and shared libraries a running application accesses and packaging just those.)

It is much harder to modify old software than it is to modify an old building. I've seen projects to modify some small aspect of our system that took 10+ developers six months to implement, but could have been done in an afternoon by a single dev with an IDE, had the project been written in a statically typed language.
Yeah, the rest was fairly coherent, but that one threw me as well. Life insurance tends to fall into the same category as most optional 'insurances' for me - you end up paying out considerably more then you get back.

That said, for those with children, I can understand the purchase. Overall it's very circumstantial.

The one word typo was in the code, not the paper. It was setting DETREND to FALSE instead of TRUE. Their assertions were based on thinking they were working with detrended data instead of the raw data that they actually used.
A life insurance?

I'd rather say don't trust anyone with your money other than yourself. The insurance (like anyone investing your money) will take a nice chunk of everything it earns and if something is left (a big if in times of zero or negative interest rates) you might get it.

I think this article is short-sighted and poorly written. Its most grievous offense to me is lumping all non-rich people together.

The 22-year old out of college who needs a place to sleep doesn't need to save up for a mattress that will last them 10 years... they need a place to sleep. Especially when (unlike the article) you stop to consider other factors besides money. With "disposable" furniture/goods, you almost never need to take it with you when you move, as a 22-year old does frequently. This is an extreme example, but if the difference between a couch you'd want to keep and a couch you'd leave is $200 and the cost of the move is $200... it's actually a wash.

The middle aged parent taking care of multiple children with a poorly paid job isn't saving up for a nice couch. They're watching their family couch slowly disintegrate and they're getting years beyond what the author of this article might consider "useful".

I love the tech community for all it has given me, but the political and socioeconomic views of so many of its inhabitants ([redacted] in particular) who were born on third and told they hit a triple give me the creeps. Poor people aren't poor because they're stupid. They're poor because they don't have a lot of money, and the root causes of that can be as varied as anyone's individual life. Articles like this suggest that 500 words and a subscription to Slate can stand in the way of each and every one of those root causes.

Everyone should occasionally use Google Takeout to back up their stuff, but non-tech users don't understand this.

I use my own domain and private email service but I do run my blog on blogger. But, I have done the experiment of converting Google Takeout data for my blog and hosting it on my own server. My default is to use blogger because I like how comments are handled.

Services that Google and Facebook provide can be useful, but I view that as a small add-on to my own web properties.

What the rich understand that other people do not understand is that marketing is the means by which businesses separate you from your money and until you understand this you are likely to over spend as well as buy what you truly don't need.

Look at Apple, forums are replete with people trying to scrounge up money for the latest phone, tablet, or laptop. The idea of where you shop has become this generations version of the previous generation of what you drive and where you live.
