Chromium dev tools essentially IS an IDE with a built-in debugger. You can set breakpoints, step over/into/out of code, monitor network requests, view/edit the DOM tree, edit CSS in real time... For some code, you can even edit it while it's executing. Plus it exposes a REPL at window scope.
Day One Strategy – Part 6
In that case why do we have laws for television stations or print media? Why do we have libel or defamation law, even?

Because we can see it's essential for democracy for public discourse to be structured in a certain way, specifically that it not disproportionately represent one person or organisations views.

I can see that in principle people can choose not to use Facebook, but in practice we see that it is very dominant, and so, if a society perceives that a very dominant platform curtails freedom of speech, it's absolutely right to do something about it.

In principle, we might imagine, a newspaper that prints lies will go out of business. But, maybe it won't? In practice, all developed countries have laws against printing untruths.

It's clearly a balance, but if we look at other mediums and the way we've chosen to regulate them, Facebook is a clear outlier. If that's the case we should find the least intrusive way to ensure a single company doesn't have so much control over public discussion.

The idea that everyone freely selects Facebook for their communications because they love its moderation policy doesn't pass the common sense test.

[2], [3] and [4] I would argue are not problems specific to JS, but are problems with "lingua francas" in general. Ubiquity, massive massive general popularity and low barriers of entry for a language will lead to an ecosystem dominated by the NIH and overengineering of eager & inexperienced programmers, and by egos. This would occur were any language put in JS' position.

The challenge is navigating such ecosystems in a selective and informed way, which is a programming skill in itself.
Little of that life expectancy had to do specifically with worse nutritional quality of food. Access to food, nutritional understanding, and food spoilage, yes.

Much had to do with a lack of awareness of germ theory, with waste disposal -- both human and trash -- with pollution of water supplies, and with poor or limited public health measures against community-propogating infectious disease.

The highest mortality rates were among infants and children, which did a great deal to reduce total life expectency at birth, but had compartively far less an effect on adolescent and adult life expectency.

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005140.html

At birth, in 1850, white male life expectency was 38.3 (additional years of life), but 48.0 at age 10, and 40.1 at age 20.

In 2011, the comparable values are 76.3, 66.9, and 57.2.

The increase was initially rapid -- by 1929-31, rates had reached 59.12, 54.96, and 46.02, respectively.

While there's been some improvement in later years of life, it's been far less. If you survived to age 50 in 1850, you had a life expectency less than 10 years shorter than in 2011.
Oh wow. Now I can see it that is great

I wonder if 50 years down the line, maybe when humanity is building spaceships to go to other planets, will the interstellar software be written in C++/Java or Assembly or be produced entirely by AI subsystems or what.
But no writing exists that completely defines what those standards are!

So what? Being public is not the same as being in writing; you could have doctors responsible for answering questions from the citizenry, for example.

And they're the ones who pay for the standardization process by purchasing copies of the standards.

And why couldn't it just be an extra fee added to the license required to do construction work?

Is this really censure though? You'd think it's Facebook applying certain policy mechanically and not Facebook being very pro Vietnam war by trying to curtail others' speech which I would count as censure.
Is the crawling actually taking place on the phone or is there a backend service that's grabbing data? If the phone is doing crawling I'd imagine this would nuke your battery.

That's hardly true, because many modules have lots of unseen dependencies. For all I know, your tiny module could have refs to 3+ other modules to do its work.

Thus, getting leftpadded.

I reject the idea that the size of the module means it is not complex.
A floating tube would present the problem that air might get sent into the engine, the results are described in the article. Hence the intake is at the lowest part of the engine, the only floaty is the measurement device to see how full your tank is. That floaty can have a sliding system to make it adjustable to different tank sizes, if set slightly different then it may cause early or late fuel low warning.

When reading the sentence about debris at the bottom my face went into an unnatural position.
The scientific consensus is that weight gain is caused by saturated fat. Anybody who disagrees with the consensus is anti-science and a fat-denier. Any scientists who disagree with the consensus must have being paid off by Big Fat.

Even Crisco agrees that their products are the cause of Global Fattening and is working on alternatives to oil. Companies that produce saturated fat products should have to buy Fat Credits and fat skeptics should be thrown in prison!

But what about all the actual scientific evidence that a low-carbohydrate high-saturated fat diet results in weight loss? Well, I never said that weight gain causes weight gain or a Global Fattening. What I said was it causes "Body Change".

Body Change means eating saturated fat will make you become deathly skinny or morbidly obese or grow a tail or get cancer or contract herpes or go blind or a million other medical problems.

Basically, if something is wrong with your body, it's because of Body Change. Child falls off jungle gym and breaks its leg: Body Change. Man dies of heart attack in China: Body Change. Conjoined twins: Body Change. Down's Syndrome: Body Change. Hot flashes: Body Change. Wet dream: Body Change. Body change hides under your bed at night waiting to murder you with saturated fats.

Some people say that Body Change is idiotic and unscientific! I guess they believe bodies never change. What morons!

JS engines have improved by about 2 orders of magnitude in speed for actual use over the last 10 or so years. They've outpaced Moores law.
This is reductionist thinking, the same kind of thinking that led to the low-fat fad, which unfortunately lasted decades.

Fruits don't deliver just fructose, the also deliver nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. As a consequence we digest fruits differently compared with processed sugar, as the absorption of fructose when eating fruits is slowed down.

And our taste buds love sugar because our bodies crave for fruits, to fuel our big brains. We would have never developed this trait if naturally occurring sugar would harm us.
There is no "View source" button for native applications, and you can not modify them and see the results immediately.
What I have heard and seems to make more sense is that fuel is used to cool the fuel pump.

The pump is usually located inside the fuel tank on modern vehicles and submerged in the fuel. The fuel is used to cool the pump during operation. When running low, the pump is exposed to air, runs hotter and may possibly overheat and be damaged.
6.0 was a canceled release. 7.x. is used by Cluster. 8.0 makes it easy to follow as "it just drops the 5".
And he said as much himself in an earlier discussion on HN:

"The name Doves Type® is copyrighted to protect my drawings. But if someone wants to go ahead and do what I did and recreate the type from the original printed sources there's nothing to stop them, as long as they do not use my font data as a basis for their font. It took me 5 years, on-&-off, to reach the stage where I was satisfied that I had captured the overall essence of the original. Though one can never recreate the patina of a letterpress type – the appearance of each glyph varies from word to word, line to line, page to page. That's why I prefer to call my digital type a facsimile."

Trademark-copyright confusion aside, seems right on.
In a Mercedes (at-least the Gulf countries Specifications model), the tank is really empty as soon as the needle hits 0 (Empty), unlike Japanese and American cars, where you can drive quite a bit even after the needle is below the "red" empty mark.

To be clear, the "low fuel" sign comes up well in advance, but as soon as the needle hits 0 (Full is 1. Half Tank is 1/2 and Empty Tank is 0) the car will stop, without any extra buffer for driving beyond that mark.
You can download firmware updates for lenses as well as camera bodies, and with MFT there's even an open standard for interchangeable lenses/bodies across manufacturers.
This sounds like it suits me very well. Any advice on how to get there without being a very good programmer?

I can read code and write it too, but mostly program simple front-end things or hack together side projects.

I'm good at telling people what they actually want from each other when they start arguing in a meeting. I'm the one who gets asked to write, simplify or clarify the concept of a new product. And as a generalist I will be asked about everything out of scope of the others (everything with media, much research, occasionally personal issues).

Regarding gating I have limited experience, but will be the one to try to get things out of the "MVP".

I'm currently in a very small startup and want to stick to it until after the initial launch of the product. Than it should become clear if things work out or not. I'm not sure though if I want to stay with the startup for further products to be launched.
Cool simple gui.
So wait, when do we celebrate? On the 256'th day or on day number 256? And is January the first the first day or day 0 of the year. And how was it with the leap years? is this a leap year?

Oh god, celebrating Day of the programmer with off by one errors, stupid 1 or 0 indexing, stupid irregular date calculation, and a slightly strange naming scheme. I have no idea whether I should hate this or love it!

Censorship? Not really. You were close though, it's targeted propaganda.
Separate from my other comment, I also just don't agree with this piece in general. It seems like the only way to make the journalist happy is to not let Tim Cook. Phil Schiller, or any other male executive talk at the keynote. Those people aren't really replaceable; if someone besides Phil Schiller gave his talk, that would be pretty big news. And my impression of the event is that Apple did push for diversity in all of the replaceable roles (demos, people from other companies, etc).

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see an Apple event where the majority of the time was spent with people other than white men talking. But that's really only going to happen when someone who's not a white man gets promoted to executive in one of the roles that actually warrants speaking at an event (e.g. head of retail doesn't speak at these events), and that's probably only going to happen when one of the current executives retires.

Apologies for the shouting, I just wanted to put emphasis on the company. Maybe asterisks would have been more appropriate.

I think I didn't put my point across very well, I by no means meant to defend FB. My point was really that problems like this will always arise when the people give so much power to a single company. Hence my suggestion to switch to an open alternative.
In the past when talking about free speech, it commonly meant talking on the street corners. Since the roads were public property the government could not censor you there.

What we have occurring in the modern world would be the same if a city sold all of it's roads to a private company and told its citizens their are no longer public spaces.
The justification for the rule of law is inherently ideological. If the law is just another pragmatic tool for the powerful to oppress the weak, then why should the masses respect the concept?

> a doctor may be liable to a patient for not conforming to accepted standards of medical practice. But no writing exists that completely defines what those standards are!

It seems like an "accepted standard of medical practice" is therefore a matter of opinion, meaning you could find two professional witnesses who reasonably disagreed.

But much of the building codes are hard requirements - you're never going to be able to find a professional opinion that running a 20A residential circuit on 14AWG Romex is acceptable, even if say it's only in an uninsulated wall and is therefore likely safe.

So the two are completely different. Likely in the medical field, ambiguously policing those who stray too far from the herd is the best that can be done. But in disciplines with hard engineering rules, we can do better.

> As a practical matter, the folks charged with following the laws in question are builders

Erm, what? That's somewhat like saying the only people tasked with following
traffic laws are drivers. Well sure, but in that sense we're basically all drivers.

Or if you mean that imply that only professional commercial builders are bound by those laws, that is definitively incorrect. People doing their own work are still bound by the law, even in the ridiculous nanny states that attempt to criminalize people working on their own home.

I only buy samsung. The laser printers are cheap, durable and resilient. They remind me of what HP was, in 1989.

Now they are a scam. They do a better version of the hustle Gillette does with its razors.

Somewhere in the 90s they realized higher profits were available if they hoodwinked people by coercing them to become a victim to a proprietary ink-cartridge dependency racket. With that, their integrity and quality were summarily abandoned. What a crooked morally bankrupt company.
There are far fewer obstacles in the air than on the ground.

If you put a plane on autopilot and then go read a book for some hours, most likely nothing bad is going to happen (particularly on IFR, but even on VFR, realistically).

Tesla's autopilot is more advanced than aircraft autopilots, I'd say, yet more dangerous (for now) because of all these darned cars and trucks and pedestrians.

In that sense, "Autopilot" was an unfortunate and overly ambitious name.
> If fructose is bad for you then fruits are bad for you, there's no way around it.

Actually fruits also have fiber which slows down the absorption of fructose. The way we digest fruits is different from the way we digest table sugar.

Beware reductionist thinking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductionism
A really smart guy said to me once something like, “if you are smart and have money and you don't eat well then you are not smart”. I can't remember the exact quote but the sentiment really stuck with me.

Look I'm no expert but I'm telling you the results are outrageous. Please do your own research as I only really have a school boy understanding of how this affects the body.

My skin cleared up, my ailments all disappeared, I no longer snore, my wife says I radiate energy and my skin glows. People notice that my eyes are white and bright. My thinking is clear and alert.

I run up a big hill occasionally, a massive one, I did it yesterday, I broke a sweat but my body was working and I got to the top in record time with minimal effort. I had been training for years and never could match that performance. It's all SUGAR. I hit the wall because of sugar. I finally cracked the magic code, NO SUGAR.

What do I eat?
I will lose some people here, but honestly, whole fruit, salad, no dressing, chicken,steak,salmon and WATER. That's it. I said it was hard but I went 100% zero sugar. Real Food. Nothing in a box nothing processed. I now love this food more than anything.

Why is whole fruit ok?
My understanding is the fibre tells your body when to stop eating. It's a natural way to tell you that you've had enough. If the grapefruit it too sweet, don't eat it. Your body is telling you something. Listen to it

Sugar inflames your body, it gives you a rush, then a crash, then it makes you hungry. Sugar makes you eat more. It makes you swing up and down.

Getting off sugar is hard, you will have withdrawals. They are not pleasant.

My appetite and palette has changed for the better, I love food now, I can't even drink a soda, I spit it out as the most disgusting thing imaginable, that's a massive change for me. I eat way less I'm spending less money.

Medically all the little things I was thinking of going to the doctor about have completely gone.

3 months in, a lifetime ahead of positive changes.

sorry if this was long and ranty and a bit smug :-)
You're arguing authenticated vs unauthenticated remote code execution.

Given MySQL creds and a (fairly common) file write primitive (file upload functionality, log injection, etc) that in itself should not qualify as a vulnerability, you can execute remote code on the server with just this vulnerability.

I think RCE is a fair description here.

When I first started learning JavaScript, I wondered how people became proficient at the langue with all these weird quirks[0] that don't raise errors. Turns out that there are a bevy of things to help combat these quirks. Two of them are strict mode[1] (which can be scoped[2] in instances were libraries/frameworks would fail running in strict mode) and linters.

Strict mode and linters do not fix everything. This is doubly so if your developers ignore the warnings and errors that the linter throws. The language isn't inherently bad, but plain old JavaScript is not beginner friendly for new developers. It requires the discipline to not just throw things together.

Not sure how you can be losing at this point. Self-driving cars are far from a reality. The claim that they need a "sales force" now when they don't yet have a product is disturbing. The Uber experiment in Pittsburgh has made for some outstanding PR, but let's see how it actually goes before we praise them for solving the problem. You can bet they are minimizing as many variables as they can (only operating in perfect weather, and only along routes with no construction and very well painted lines that has been laser-mapped to the centimeter).

Fact is, it's extremely unlikely we'll see self-driving cars outside the most constricted of environments for decades yet. This should be obvious to anyone who (1) has driven and (2) works with computers. It's scary to me that everyone is eating up the hype and pretending they're imminent.
Where you don't use html tables (should more image charts be generated in the interim), provide a more sensible ordering. Alphabetical by make, then model, for instance. This one is a jumble and difficult to use as a quick reference.
