This website froze my Firefox running on an i7 CPU due to the animated background.
This is actually one area where I like our IBM i system, the 5250 console may be extremely lacking in many features compared to say a VT100, but the block-based console eliminates the remote server from needing to handle redrawing or dealing with input until the user explicitly requests an action. It's pretty amazing to see a thousand users connected to the box and none of them have any latency with inputting data (getting a new screen back from the server make take a couple milliseconds) because it's all done locally until they press a function key or some other action button that pushes the data off to the server.

It doesn't cover as many topics as some of the more well-known fact checking sites, but http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/ has a pretty good framework for evaluating claims, and the best answers tend to be really objective.
I don't think it's much of a slippery slope. I think most of us would (or at least should) agree, up front, that intuition isn't worth much. Even when investigating topics that are considered obvious.

Introducing FlockFlock: File Access Enforcement for MacOS
I found "slib" [1]. It is a Java library dedicated to semantic data mining based on texts and/or ontology processing. They can be used in the context of information retrieval, data analysis, recommendation system design.

I think this is a cool library since it was hard to find "updated" library that can calculate semantic similarity between words. Beside that, this library implements many methods on semantic/ontology research.

> From my point of view a liberal and progressive government would have the opposite impact on homelessness and mentally ill people: by providing social support and welfare to those in need.

San Francisco does that, but it has also cut back on the most important social service for those who aren't impoverished: policing. By refusing to punish people for defecation in public, bathing in public fountains, panhandling &c., as well as by offering standard welfare service, SF has made life very easy for the homeless and mentally-ill. Unsurprisingly, there are many of them.

It's also made life not so nice for those who aren't homeless and/or mentally ill and aren't wealthy enough to afford to live above the mess, but I don't think the SF political class cares about them.
From my perspective I think it is pretty clear that drone delivery is never going to happen and is just a fad.

Firstly, let me just say, technologically drone delivery could definitely happen. There's no technical reason why not.

But if we look at the history of freight it has always been about efficiency, and new competitors have always competed by finding ways of being cheaper.

We already have less technical "drone delivery," it is called a courier, but outside of New York and a handful of other places they're niche. Nobody wants to pay to deliver just a single package, it is too expensive.

Even services like "next day delivery" work on the principle of economy. You have trucks which are on other deliveries (economical ones) just drop off the "next day" packages between them. That makes these "unnaturally cheap."

What do drones offer that a human courier doesn't? It cannot deliver inside most office buildings, you're still paying for fuel/maintenance/development/lost drones/etc. It likely has limited capacity.

Plus let's look at competing technology coming up: Automated vehicles. How long until a delivery van can drive itself to your home, and then send you a text to meet it outside? That technology is coming with or without drone development, and solves some of a drone's inherent issues (poor capacity, lower maintenance, better economy, etc).

I really think drones for deliveries won't go anywhere. It is just a fad thing because companies want to be cool. Too many problems/limitations/high costs, and few benefits. And as I said automated vehicles will kill any remaining shot drones may have had.
Codeship: Email as a Microservice
But you can't always debug code that's out in the wild with the same exact scenario that caused the NRE.

It's helpful to have the actual thing that's null for post-error troubleshooting.
Dental caries result from certain species (S. mutans et al) of bacteria digesting sugars into acids that chemically erode bioapatite. If you destroy the bacteria, such as by using mouthwash, or prevent them from adhering to the teeth, such as by using xylitol, or deprive them of sustenance, such as by not eating sugars or simple carbohydrates, you won't get cavities, and you won't need to worry about flossing--to prevent cavities.

But cavities are not the only problem you can have in your mouth.

Food particles left in the mouth for long periods can cause an inflammatory response in the gums. This can lead to bone loss in the jaw. And that can cause your cavity-free teeth to fall out.

Flossing through the space between tooth and gum can potentially remove such particles, which would help prevent gum disease. But it might not be necessary to do it every day. Once a week, maybe? After eating jerky or popcorn?

I have no idea how often it is necessary to floss to achieve a statistically significant reduction in any of the oral diseases, or how much of a difference there may be between flossing twice a day and flossing once a month.

My dentist recommends flossing whenever I brush. While the recommendation to floss is probably well supported, I suspect that the frequency may be more based on psychology than anything else. They just attach it to the brushing habit. Perhaps it would be better to attach it to "whenever you trim your fingernails", or "whenever you shave your legs", even though those are not related to oral hygiene.
I've run into that as well, but I've since come to favor avoiding that pattern entirely as a code smell.

In your example, you end up modifying the struct value x, even if there was an error. Maybe there are cases where that is the correct behavior, but even then I would advocate for explicitly setting the struct value after handling the error, to make it very clear that it was your intention to do so, rather than doing it be accident.
As others have mentioned, being in control/possession of your own data is a factor.

>> I find the ribbon gui horrible.
> You're in the minority.

Not so sure about that, I personally hate it too and know of many who have trouble with it. Its main problem is discoverability of features. With menus you could walk from first to the last to find the feature you needed (even if it was grayed out, signaling that you are in a wrong context to use it), while this is very difficult to do with ribbon bar. Especially as sometimes the feature is triggered via button, sometimes it is hidden behind a dropdown arrow, via some link... In Outlook 2010 I learned to search for features on the Internet because it takes too much time to look for them in UI. Awful UI, I hate it with passion.

EDIT: MS Office vs. Libre/OpenOffice: one reason is that I can install LO/OO on OS of my choice (Linux usually). The other is that I can install whatever version I want without licensing issues and cost. Last but not least, it has a normal menu. The only downside is interoperability - if it is important for you to edit MS documents 100% like you would in MS Office, then you really have no choice.
We're not using it because... well... it's weird (for lack of a better word)? Sure, it's a multiplexing protocol that can support a few neat use cases like port forwarding and X11 tunneling, but that's really not what we want in most cases. It carries a lot of baggage in its clients and implementations that in principle shouldn't cause problems but in practice makes it suboptimal.

One of the most important aspects of why we don't use it: it's scary to work with. SSH's implementation of its protocol is much closer to the actual client implementation than the divide traditionally maintained between SSL and its clients. People are rightly afraid to get close to cryptographic code without sufficient training, and so there is the equivalent of a "If You Are Responsible: Keep Away" sign for most developers who might be inclined to improve the situation.

Still, the community found the impetus to augment the protocol and UI to help deal with latency issues that plague SSH via Mosh. It helps escape the legacy idea that RTTs will be consistent and therefore are ignorable in a shell implementation.

Ultimately, SSL is a better understood tunneling protocol and full of a lot less... maybe it's just the perspective we have in a world where SSL is ubiquitous but SSH is weird. Its rules are weird, its certificates are weird, its tooling is weird.

This is a common contention in Hacker News I'm often on the minority size of, but I submit that while syntactic interfaces (shell, programming) has clearly demonstrated its value and deserves to be better developed, the same can not be said for serial text entry interfaces. Something based around a streaming query protocol like SSL+HTTP/2 that makes some fundamentally different decisions than the legacy UNIX shell and supporting tooling would be substantially better, and be able to use existing web browser techniques and software.

Which is all abstract, but imagine for a moment something we've seen before: an Electron Shell based terminal. But what we haven't seen is someone really dive in and attempt to redefine the world around shells. So bear with me for a second...

Imagine an Electron Shell based terminal experience that works locally and remotely. A line buffer separate from the display accumulates and maintains the current prompt (because instead of PS1 being pseudo-executable in our shell it actually can attach scripting functions and web-browser style timers).

Executables logically return open dictionary objects (which can contain streams) instead of the current fixed set of indexed streams. We can use 0, 1 and 2 as legacy keys into these objects to maintain compatibility. But you could imagine a "rich-1" key that actually outputs rich markup, "error-1" that outputs rich markup for error, etc. And of course, media itself could either be file system references. These rich objects are just textual objects with references to valid HTTP/2 requests do what they do.

This actually resembles SSH's protocol on the outside, but using tools that are reusable elsewhere and a cryptographic stack and transit protocol that has more funding and attention and traction.
Hoping this might provide a bit of inspiration for other non-DIY savvy programmers/nerds like myself. It's easier than you might think to build.
"of COURSE you can't buy Barbie's American Dream House in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world"

It's not even that though, $1M now gets you what's called a "fixer-upper" in SF -- a euphemism which actually means a house with broken gas lines that you literally risk your life occupying.

It's also impossible to save money here for a future house in a cheaper city when the median rent is $4000/month.
Using Docker, one could have various images made for whichever runtime environments you require. This way, no dependencies for running/compiling code need to be installed on a dev machine other than Docker and can be easily used from any machine with Docker, avoiding the hassle of setting up all of these dependencies.
How do they manage all these tabs without Tab Groups then (which they removed)?
I am honestly curious where the economics are going to come in. Drones aren't exactly a power efficient way to do something, and they're also heavily range limited in many cases.

There are certain cases I could see it being really useful and effective, prescription drug deliveries make a lot of sense to do by drone, especially because of the possible urgency and mobility issues for many people needing them. And the fact that pill bottles are light.

> Same reason even very beautiful women end up single and childless in their 40's.

I thought that was because they spent their 20s-30s focusing on college and their careers, and just as they had extremely high standards for those, they also had extremely high standards for men they dated, so they ended up not "settling" for anyone.

I'm just over 40 and have dated a few of these urban-dwelling women who 40 and up, never married, no kids. There's a ridiculous number of them in DC. In my estimation based on personal experience, they're all incredibly picky and won't date a guy unless everything is absolutely perfect. In my case they tend to lose interest very fast because I live outside the city presently so I'm not conveniently located. To be snarky, they seem to all want a guy who's over 6' tall, looks like a model, dresses like he's on the cover of GQ, makes $300k/year, and lives across the street from her. And I actually meet a couple of these criteria to some extent: I'm over 6' (which seems to be very rare here on the east coast I've noticed...), I have a good-paying job (though not $300k/year good), and I'm told I'm very attractive, particularly for an over-40 guy as I'm thin and in great shape and frequently confused for someone 10+ years younger; my deficiencies are that I don't dress like a GQ model (more like an engineer who wears polo shirts all the time), I'm not outgoing and gregarious (I'm a software engineer....), and I don't live in the hip part of town these women all live in. The last such woman that seemed to be seriously interested in me (a 40yo lawyer) dumped me after a few weeks because of the distance, or so she said, even though this was something she knew about up-front. Oh yeah, these women also don't like guys who are separated or recently divorced (good lucking finding a decent guy at 40+ who's never been married or was divorced years ago). And AFAICT, they are not quick to jump into bed with someone, in fact quite the opposite (and these are not conservative religious women either, they're all liberal Democrats AFAICT, though really more like "limousine liberals"). Sorry for the rambling, but the thing about single, childless, pretty women in their 40s is something I have recent and direct experience with so I couldn't help going off.

intuition can be easily swayed by emotions... harder to do with facts
Yeah but there was a time when most everyone believed in superstitions. The question not asked in the article is what happens to a society when a significant minority start believing in superstitions,give in to paranoia and conspiracy theories, etc. What happens in the aggregate when facts aren't persuasive? Is this sufficiently culturally different that it becomes untenable, and what does that mean?

Did you read the article? this is clearly a Clinton smear job using snopes as a vehicle. At best it splits hairs; at worst it makes her out to be an amoral Machiavellian who doesn't care about child rapists. I can't think of a more obvious conflict of interest here with the right wing politics at play on the blog.

I'm personally ok with snopes as a whole even if their characterization is "mostly false" instead of "half false".

Yes, Clinton laughed at aspects of the case, not the case itself. Yes, she defended him, but a plea deal is a far cry from success for the child rapist, it's success on her part.

All the stuff they complain about in the snopes article can be inverted to complain about this article--they took the most damning possible interpretation of the events even if it's clear they're only proving the literal phrase is 100% correct without touching what it implies.

Actually, on further thought, this gives me more confidence in snopes's ability to tease apart delicate political topics. I would be truly interested in hearing what aspects of the blog post people found convincing.
Except a lot of deliveries to residential areas happen when nobody is home. So getting a text to go outside and get my package from an automated vehicle won't help me at all. And this is where drones can come in handy. The drone could deliver the package from the truck to my doorstep. Sure, it may not work in urban areas with high rises but it will work just fine in single family house neighborhoods and that's a huge part of the country.

> What is the socially accepted minimal living standard for a couple with kids in the US / Canada?

A lot of this comes from the expectation of what you had growing up versus what is available in your current situation, and how much you actually want kids. Do you want to bring up kids from 0 to 18+ in that same 111 sq meter space? The answer can be no for a few people, and people aren't seeing that they can move to something bigger even if it becomes necessary.

It's also not a good idea to compare floor space 1:1 across regions, floor layouts and building structure can have big impacts. 40 sq m used well can have the same level of comfort as 111 sq m used poorly, but because of various property restrictions (since it's not detached) they might not be able to modify the 111 sq m space in a meaningful way.

The main thing here in this case is that the couple represented have the choice of whether or not to have kids and they see the environment as not good for it. This is the sort of thing that happens when educated people sit down and consider whether or not having kids is the right plan for the moment.
