Here's a handy one liner to grab all links from the downloads page and save a curl command to the clipboard:

copy('curl ' + Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a')).filter(a => String(a.search).indexOf('gamekey') > 0).map(a => '-o ' + a.pathname.substr(1) + ' ' + a.getAttribute('href')).join(' '))

You've only included a single year of gas/electricity in your calculation. That makes no sense for something that wins in operating cost not in up front cost.

Assuming repair costs even out (not a small assumption, but), in about seven years the cost of the camry and the tesla will be about even. Ever year of service after that is entirely profit (aprox. 5k/year saved in gas).

Tesla: (7 years × 3700 electricity + 80000 vehicle cost) / 233,000km = 0.45 $/km

Camry: (7 years × 10000 gas + 35000 vehicle cost) / 233,000km = 0.45 $/km

He's talking about there not being any applications that appeal to normal non-tech users and your example is a linux desktop app that looks like a windows 95 application. I don't think you two agree on what "non-tech" and "appealing" mean.

I have been thinking about using canvas because like you point out, its faster. However I had not worked at all with the canvas and new something about d3.js and svg.
d3.js allowed me to use some dragging / events, which I could not have build myself when i started out with this project. That was simply what tipped me in to going with svg.
To late to change now...And although there are times when speed is an issue when using the map, its got more to do with some inefficient programming from me.
My wife's uncle had a successful if unassuming career as a civil engineer. Then one day, shortly after his 50th birthday, he decided that he never really wanted to be a civil engineer and that his real passion was social anthropology. By 62 he had a PhD in social anthropology, 3 or 4 published books in the field, was generally considered an authority in his niche and split his time between writing and lecturing part time at the university. He worked until he was 70 and enjoyed every minute of it far more than his previous career. Even at 50 it's not unreasonable to assume that you have anywhere from 25-50% of your working life ahead of you, don't let a decision you made as a kid get in the way of getting the most out of those years.

Yes. Unfortunately, from the perspective of the researcher (or even the research team), pure research is a lottery, whereas applied research offers more chance to success.

These folk are also know as the "job creators". Why should they pay you for not working? Your newborn doesn't do anything for their bottom line. After all, it is their fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value by screwing over employees, customers, suppliers or anyone else who is not a shareholder. They are already not fans of raising the minimum wage, why should they be pro-labor in any other area?
In the last 2 years I've done about 30 interviews. (I like short-term contracts.) I've only been asked about a degree once, and the guy said "I don't have one either".

I still took a few Coursera classes because computer science is just damn interesting to me :)
> destructive actions should require a little more confirmation, no? It used to be you had to double-click almost everything if there was a chance of a strong side-effect;

I grew up with Windows 98, so for me the X button would be the baseline that feels perfectly logical and natural. But I want to ty and explain why I think it doesn't contradict the above logic:

I think a long-standing design rule in Windows is that the X button action should have as few side-effects as possible apart from closing the window: Closing dialogs and tool windows typically does nothing except closing the window - and your user expectation is that you can trivially restore those windows if you wanted.

For "Yes/No" or "OK/Cancel" type dialogs, the X button typically maps to the action with the least consequences - i.e. "No" or "Cancel". When all choices have consequences is sometimes even disabled to force the user to make a conscious choice.

In the events where closing a windows has direct, irreversible consequences - e.g. closing a program that has unsaved data - the program is expected to show some kind of confirmation: An "Are you sure" or "Do you want to save?" dialog. So in effect, clicking the X button is even safe in these cases because all that click will do is bring up a confirmation dialog.

All of this requires more effort from the developers of applications, but I think treating the X button as a non-destructive action by default actually gives the user more confidence to explore the UI because there is an obvious way how to safely get back.
No, they will use that money to pay their inefficient and unproductive, sometimes parasitic public service workforce. Then their religious schools and holy men, then buy more weapons.
Depends on the job. Some considerations:

- your intent: playing around to learn, creating something serious, contributing to OSS, etc.

- how far you got

- who is using it?

- solo or collaboration

- how production ready is this?

I suppose you could sum that up with one question: "Where is this on the spectrum between homework and a real product?"

This falls into the topic of side projects, and I wrote about that in detail here:

http://www.madeupname.com/truth-about-side-projects/
You couldn't send credentials nor file descriptors to other processes without UNIX sockets. I would argue that allowing for that kind of decoupling of permissions and file access is very much in the spirit of the UNIX philosophy. Quite frankly, there are some problems you simply wouldn't be able to solve without them (in runC, the underlying runtime that Docker wraps, we use them quite extensively).
The article calls this a lie:

"Scientific progress on a broad front results from the free play of free intellects, working on subjects of their own choice, in the manner dictated by their curiosity for exploration of the unknown."

'On a broad front' I think that's probably correct. If you have specific goals you want to achieve, sure you should probably direct research at that goal to have the best chance of achieving it. But if you are more interested in exploring the wild frontiers of science, less directed efforts are the way to go. Of course in reality we want to do both, but the article offers no such grounded perspective.

Anyway, who is being lied to and to what goal? Is anyone really fool enough to think that all of US science spending has been purely provided to scientists free of all strings? Has there really been an actual coordinated effort to persuade anyone that this is true?

I read Bush's statement as an aspiration, not really a statement of incontrovertible fact. Can aspirations be lies? Is there some terrible conspiracy afoot? This pudding is being very heavily over-egged.

The latter part of the article is a cogent and reasonable criticism of some of the problems in modern science. There's a lot of house cleaning that needs to be done. But that cause is not well served by dour, grandiosely pronounced, clickbaity conspiracy mongering.
This is fantastic. I like the progression in the table of contents. Something similar on the website might be helpful - it is packed chock full of useful information and great tutorials, but could perhaps use a little better organization.

So on point. I took Andrew Ng's first machine learning course, it was the future of learning!

In stead of building a framework for iterative improvements, and an online educational material, Coursera focused on building "classes" and "credentials" and trying to monetize. It isn't surprising that I learnt the most in college from Wikipedia. Which isn't even meant to be a teaching material.

Truly a shame.

Hopefully Khan Academy or even Wikipedia doesn't eventually disappoint.

You can do it that way, but using something that's made for the job makes life a lot easier. Between Scrivener for writing and Vellum for compiling to ebook formats there's no reason to spend your time futzing around. If you want to format for print, either pay someone or learn InDesign because nice print layout is tougher than it appears.

Then again, a lot of the self-pub strategy these days is specifically geared around getting as much out as quickly as possible, so that's not necessarily an invalid approach.

Yes, of course. There's something like, what, around 400 root CAs, I think?

I mentioned the .cn government (and their root CA(s)) because the article mentioned the .cn government, specifically, and the parent comment mentioned "any government that controls a CA".

Obviously, any government with a) control over a root CA and b) control over their entire country's Internet access could carry this out. The article we're commenting, however, called out .cn by name.

So instead of removing it, he just makes it invisible, and everybody (but the new or naive users) is happy.

"Trying things" is good advice for most of the major decisions in life.

For example, buying a home: if you've rented a bunch of places, it becomes clear what you want. You may notice that choosing a flat gets easier as you get older.

This also explains why so many people find relationships so difficult: most people only have a few (some only 1 or 2) serious relationships in their life. There's little opportunity to work out what you like.
Scalability is something it seems reasonable to leave until you're more sure you actually need it. There's also no legal requirement around scaling, and you're not affecting a specific group of people.

Accessibility is a legal requirement in the UK, and while you're right it's unlikely to come back to bite you as a small company, that's also a pretty crappy attitude to take. I don't like the practice of deliberately breaking the law anyway, but deliberately breaking the law requiring equal access to people with disabilities is awful.
Bitcoin can not become a serious replacement currency, as no government can ever give up control over monetary policy and would rather put away lots of people than allow any threat to how things work.

If you know nothing of computers you might find articles that explain Bitcoin briefly and then point you to a "wallet" that you can download and to various exchanges where you can buy Bitcoin for real money. Why not give it a shot, and "invest" a bit? You need to know quite a bit to understand the unfixable problems with computer security, and read a little to learn of the cruelty of the cryptocurrency world: no password resets, no deposit protection, no sympathy when you lose your money.
Pretty much. See previous disclosures discussing how the NSA captures, for example, configuration files for Cisco devices passing over the Internet in e-mail, TFTP, etc. If you've sent a community string over the Internet, it's quite possible that they have it too.

I have a hard time seeing where you think this is a tricky question. Let's imagine a terrible person, so terrible that there are no moral issues with just making them do whatever we want.

We've got a racist white babysitter who hates black children. Fortunately, we know better than they do, so we're going to... shut black children up alone with them for long periods? What parents do you think want to hire babysitters who personally hate their children? Why would it be a good idea to facilitate that?

This strikes me as a somewhat anti-social view of life.

It looks like that should be happening soonish if I read the Github issues correctly.

https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme/pull/124 is "Enable the server to specify requirements for issuance" which seems to include wildcard cert support, but was only merged into master about 5 weeks ago. I presume further discussion is ongoing.

Personally I'm glad that they're taking the time to get this right. They could have probably supported wildcard certs a while ago, but it would have been through some mangled and limited method. The method they're now looking at seems to be much more future proof.

Of course, I may be completely wrong about this, but the above is what I gather from following the issues.

Yes, the material got better, but my opinion is that these are not the main factor for these kinds of improvements in the last century.

Athletes competing today at that level basically have a staff of trainers, physicians and nutritionists that help them train better, perfect their movement and eat better. They also in most cases pursue this as a full time career which wasn't so in the old days.

As a result the physique of athletes today is very different than those of athletes a 100 years ago.

There are also disciplines where material improvements are too insignificant to explain the kind of improved performances we saw in the last decades. Take for example weight lifting. It's hard to argue that better shoes could have been the main contributor to the massive improvements in the last decades.
I wonder if minifiers are smart enough to do these things.
