Why was it hard to just screen capture 4k before? (sounds like it)
Not likely as I believe they turned off the transponder, which is what these devices listen for.
But there is no debate, that's kind of the problem. There is vague doublespeak with fine print declaring no further replies will be made. Old or young, this is just inept.
Hard-Skills for the Startup Driven Revolution
Yes, there was a ton of Perl in the early days. This came about because Paul Davis was a Perl aficionado and did a lot of script writing with it early on, and the non-programmers, of which there were n-2, could pick it up much more easily than C (of course). Which is how some of them became programmers. Incidentally, we used C, not C++, though I liked OOP, because I had previously had less than great experience using C++ on large projects. We used a C++ compiler though because it could catch more errors than the C compiler could. This is one area where Steve Yegge was a bit off in that famous post.

Where does this number come from? Heat capacity is almost the same for CH4 and
CO2 (and half of that of H2O).
Wait till someone points out that dev tools are not useful to the average user and should exist as a separate extension.

Where's the line?
Mainly news. For that I follow the news sites but am hesitant to follow editors, columnists, journalists etc as they tend to post useless comments that are supposed to be funny. I do follow them but unfollow once they become a wannabe comic with unfunny puns, oneliners etc. For similar reasons, I don't follow well known tech bloggers (though I read their blogs or medium posts).

Secondly, I follow handles for topics such as museum, history, science etc. I generally distrust curators who seem like enthusiasts, so try to follow authentic sources as far as possible.

Thirdly, I follow some highly opinionated people, many of whom are usually well known from all walks of life, while some I find by their responses to certain topics. It is fun to see how people can twist anything to fit their agenda.

Lastly, I follow official accounts of various national governments, and organizations like UNESCO, RAND, PEW etc.
The question is how sensibly Chrome uses those 8 GB of RAM. We are very much still at the point where (most likely) not your entire hard drive + whatever data is generated on the fly or loaded from a webpage fits into your RAM. As such the often repeated statement that "unused RAM is wasted RAM" is still nonsense. There is always something which could be cached in RAM and would provide a speed-up of some form. If Chrome reserves 8 GB of that for itself, then it should utilize that in some form, so that it's used more sensibly than it could be used by other programs.

For example, Chrome could keep a hundred pages from your browsing history cached in RAM, so that when you go back, it loads that instantly. That is a speed-up, but you probably will never go back one hundred pages in a row. So, another program could almost certainly use the RAM more sensibly than Chrome, if that was the case.

And what Dotzler is referring to, is the worst kind of offense. If his promise holds true, Firefox's implementation will be just as good as Chrome's in terms of speed, but will use less RAM. Which would mean that Chrome is using some RAM without providing a speed-up, i.e. actually wasting that RAM. And that is always unacceptable.

I find it amusing that people in the US have been willing to extend copyright from the original 28 years to 100 years, and in most cases to give no moral rights to the artists involved in the creation of the work.

And this is the framework the US is pushing the rest of the world to adopt.

> an electric car ... is still much more ecologic than a combustion engine.

I agree on this point, but don't forget the other critical points for energy: storage-ability and transportability.

If you think about a centralized transport network (ex: train), then a dam and some wire will do the job. But, if you consider small, independent vehicles (ex: cars), unfortunately for humanity, up to now oil is unbeatable.

I think that we don't need any more remainder that pollution sucks. We need more research to find alternatives that pollute less while providing the same comfort.

Polish law is harmonised with the Copyright directive, which implements the WIPO treaty.

Watching a video on Youtube is only lawful if the rights holder has given their permission. Here, the rights holder hasnt given their permission and isn't getting compensation, thus it's not lawful in Polish law.

It might be useful if you provided a cite the the Polish law that gives this exemption.

The person uploading the video is clearly breaching copyright, and if they monetise the video that becomes criminal in most of EU. But the person downloading the video is also breaching copyright, albeit not criminally.
I'm in the UK and my image of NY is from the Netflix "Daredevil" show.

It amazes me the times I've seen one of the characters, Karen Page (attractive blonde white woman) just part company with another character at night and walk home. The streets look almost deserted except the occaisonal walker and cab. I thought it might be just fiction but another part of me thought that NY might be safer given the strictness of the police, zero-tolerance policy and increasing gentrification.

Every time I see a cURL update I always wonder why I use wget without a second thought, but cURL has so much more capabilities. If I need a more advance download cli program I then skip cURL and go to Aria2C which many times is just over kill. I need to force myself to use cURL more and not worry about how the syntax currently makes me feel.

Probably has more to do with preference and what you're working with. In Web programming having a debugger, the rendered page and your code all up is really nice. I actually have 3 monitors for this.

Doing other stuff you can have stackoverflow, your code, and a gui for version control.

Doesn't hurt to have the extra real estate for command lines, file explorers, email, a crm, remote support sessions, etc.

I think I need more monitors...
Java 8 was released almost 2.5 years ago. How long should they have to wait before they can use it? Java 9 was originally suppose to be released about now.
The only organisms affected in an asexually reproducing species would be the direct descendants of those that you treat. In a sexually reproducing species, the goal is to engineer the gene to spread throughout the entire population, even if it reduces the individual fitness.

Edit: though I guess I'm stating this poorly, since it would still only affect the direct descendants of those that you treat in a sexually reproducing species, however there's the possibility of that becoming 100% of the species without having to kill off all the untreated specimens.
Okay, my wording wasn't the best here. 3d doesn't "have" 2 planes. But, for some reason, you can look in any direction in 3d by turning in two planes. Test it yourself: turning your head left-right is rotation in one plane, turning it up-down is rotation in the other plane.
here's my shot at illustrating this:
https://goo.gl/photos/Cxt7KPbos5o2QnkD9

to be completely honest, I'm not sure if this intuition is correct. But it seems to make sense
Really nice idea & well executed. I might have to look into this one as I have an art project (for want of a better word) to execute on the pi. I want to make it so that anyone can setup a timelapse, upload it to youtube and then post the link to an aggregating site. TimeLapse the world ;) ... I have it working for me, but it wants more ;)

I see it's not possible to allow user-configuration when the block is being installed, is that something on your road map? Is it possible to have any sort of periphery checking (e.g. does the pi have a camera attached).

Not that it'll matter much either way, I mean you can just set the block up and have it fail gracefully, but I thought I'd ask.

Nice work though - looks really great!
I've found no lag when using Google photos, however it is mostly on the iDevices. When I do log in from a laptop I have never noticed any lag. This is in contrast to logging into iCloud photos from a browser which often has significant lag.

As my photos have been syncing with Google it has been automatically creating slide shows and collages. Each day I'm getting something new as it goes back in time. Pretty neat.

The UI is horrible, much worse than the minimalistic one in Linux and the content to screen area ratio is very low.

Freakonomics is a write up of several economics papers that used a statistical method called Instrumental Variables for causal analysis.

The value for you in Twitter is news. You try to stay away from people who might be excitable and/or trying to be entertaining, and follow folks who tend to give immediate little chunks of news.

Among MSM journalists, the word is that Twitter is just creating a huge echo chamber, where one person starts a rumor and then seasoned reporters and editors have to rewteet/comment on it or miss out. By staying away from certain folks, are you able to keep the BS/noise level down?
I presume seeing somebody very close dying from dengue/cerebral malaria/etc would change your perspective of "this ain't science". But that won't happen to many in 1st world countries, would it. Few millions of poor dying somewhere far away ain't that much of a hot issue to you?

mankind wants to eradicate all diseases for example. don't you think that they also have their role in the food chain, albeit probably more on the single cellular scale? why not protect those?

It's us vs them, due to global warming they are spreading to new places all the time. nobody is talking about removing all mosquitoes from the face of the earth, just those 100 you mentioned. Will there be some mess and consequences from it? of course, there are always consequences, even if you fart in the wind. considering the clusterfk we are heading to in terms of destroying the nature, this is peanuts with very real positive and immediate results to poorest and weakest of this world. count me in.

Perhaps the default behavior changes things? In wget, you download a file, in curl you display it. If you just want to download it, it saves you typing.

My personal main usage of cURL is when reproducing requests made by a browser - using something like Chromium's F12 or Firebug, clicking on the "Network" tab and in the context menu for a request clicking "Copy as cURL". Invaluable.

That line is entirely drawn by the owners and operators of the service, and people can always choose to use a different service if they don't like that.

That's all well and good until whatever business you run competes with the DNS provider or offends them in some way and they stop resolving your domain name. You're not going to say, "well, people can stop using Google's DNS if they really want to use my service".

IIRC, on Unix, Ctrl-\ sends the quit signal, which causes the process receiving it to do a core dump (before exiting), which can be used for post-mortem debugging, whereas Ctrl-C sends the kill signal, which makes the process terminate without any core dump. Those are the default actions for the signals.

To agree- there's many places even in India where if you attempted to run a handful of charging bays you'd cause a brownout or blow a transformer.

Which has long been my suspicion why Google is so keen on promoting HTTPS.

If all sites are HTTPS, Google kills ISPs' ability to inject ads and to profile customers.

Not through any sense of altruism, but because Google is only interested in one megacorp being able to sell ads and track browsing: Google.

It's good business for Google, but let's not pretend it's about "making the web better". It's about keeping commerce on the web as a Google monoculture.

It's a ~$50 USB dongle, opensource and available for shipping. Anecdotally, I personally used it for an RF project that need uniform randomness and exhausted /dev/random on the target hardware. It worked fine, if a bit slow for my very specific usecase.

That said, if you want to go even cheaper, seriously consider if you can just stick with /dev/urandom. See http://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/ for an interesting read on why that might just work.
High profile aircraft (ie Trump Force One) tend to ask for their data to be scrubbed from these sites and the sites typically comply; however the data from those planes is still transmitted unencrypted over open airways for anyone to listen in. A network of people who share data could reconstructed and view the data that others wanted removed from public view.

As others have said, V8 in the title is confusing.. v8.0 would be better. Also, the website at a glance was very confusing to me. I feel the top should have a section about what "Flat" is and what it solves. I should know your mission statement right away.

Can't you automatically get the same with Firefox Sync? And indeed, it seems to me the UI has changed recently. Anyway, if you have sync enabled on both desktop and device, you can see the other sync'd devices open tabs (if enabled, what you sync is configurable). From the desktop is from the hamburger menu, "Synced Tabs" icon. From Android, you now need to go to the history pane. The first line is "Synced Devices", press this to see other tabs and open any ones as needed.
So instead of explicitly selecting to send a tab to a device, just wait or force a sync (on Android: from the Settings sync page) if in a rush.
That's a big one but FR24 isn't as useful for that nowadays as they mask private aircraft on request of the owners. Private tracking networks are more relevant now.[0]

Conversely, many aviation enthusiasts are more interested in hyperlocal tracking where FR24 again loses-out to tightly-focused private networks.

So it's really aiming to position itself as a (1) business solution for fleet management and (2) for general travellers who aren't concerned with watching 'special' traffic but want to see where is their delayed United flight.

[0] However many of the same operators who have their aircraft publically hidden or masked also use FR24 for managing their own fleets as it's much cheaper than subscribing to datalinking through SITA or whatever.

I can say that surpisingly R (The fastest growing language with a TON of hate for its warts) is the closest I have seen for your description. Though it really is not a general purpose language.

The closest general purpose language I have been exposed to that fits your description is Racket. Based off of Scheme and has the ability to really make your own language from it, but also has pragmatic pieces to get things done.

Love your definition: However, in FP languages the FP style should be considered the default and breaking out of that style should be done for optimization reasons.
My issue is latency from _idea in head_ to adequately captured somewhere.

A book is usually open in front of me with a pen at the ready. An application.. well it depends, but best-case scenario is that it's in a easy-to-switch-to window and is natural to just get the idea down without jumping through hoops.

As an aside from a sufferer of ADHD, I think Augmented Reality tech would be a killer platform for an in-place TODO/Note/Reminder/assistant.
I read the book when I was a MUD addict in the 90s, and MUDs had a similar mechanism.

If you became high enough level in many MUDs, you became a "wizard". Wizards weren't players anymore, but they could edit code, creating new areas in the game for players to explore. Changing the code of a running game from within it was pretty cool, and so was the programming language (LPC, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LPC_(programming_language)).

There are extensions that can search the body of the open but out of view tabs.

I have commented at length why I use so many open tabs. Basically that's my cache-to-do-list. Once I revisit certain tabs enough times they get upgraded to a bookmark. What bookmarks don't do well but tabs do marvelously is preserve the trajectory and context of how I arrived at the page. Very useful to recreate the state when I visit it later.

There is a larger pattern here. Is there any large B2C web service that's not monetized by selling the users' data (for advertisement targeting etc.)?

For example, I would absolutely love to pay a monthly fee to Twitter (say, 3-5€) in exchange for an ad-free, unmodified, chronological timeline. And I would also consider paying something (say, 10€ a month) to Google in exchange for an ad-free search site that does not collect any data about me without my explicit consent.
