I wrote about this half a year ago:

"Because the C64 boots directly into BASIC the main user interface of the machine is an easily accessible programming environment."

Though I only realised it on a subliminal level back then, booting your computer and being able to program it right from the boot prompt with immediate feedback was one of the magical properties of the C64 and to some extent the Amiga. In a way you could say these computers offered the first general purpose REPL.

This property is severely lacking from every mainstream OS nowadays, which of course is intentional because for the most part these operating systems target consumers and hence quite understandably try to hide perceived complexity at all costs. Ironically, the environment that comes closest to these early desktop programming environments is Microsoft Excel. In fact, my father (whom I'm incredibly grateful for introducing me to computers at a young age) although not a programmer by profession used to develop business applications on his C64 while just a few years later he resorted to Excel for the same tasks, which in some ways of course made things easier but also was limited in what you could do with it.

I'm quite sure a modern, well-designed programming environment in that vein would be conducive to both business application development and education.
I asked them on Twitter what the timeline was for the DMCA and they never replied. Their original post is vague on the timeline of when they attempted friendly contact and to whom:

https://twitter.com/dancow/status/777702314475819009

The earliest public Tweet I see about the issue is this, on Aug. 28, just a few weeks ago:

https://twitter.com/Scrollytellio/status/769971299317911552

So it looks like they've been emailing them at least before Aug. 28. But I disagree with the idea that there's nothing in between polite private emailing and then hostile subtweeting. Did Scrollytelling try the kind of gentle public shaming where they direct mention a few AJ editors about the matter? I don't see it.

Don't get me wrong, no matter what their intentions, AJ was in the wrong to host copyrighted frontend code, and in an ideal world, the wronged party shouldn't have to Google for Twitter contacts to get them to comply. But we don't live in an ideal world of instant feedback and retribution. Scrollytelling has the right, of course, to blow it up as they did. I'm just pointing out that it was not just limited to surrender vs. going nuclear on the blogosphere. And in the media world, media people are very quick to act on Twitter, even when they don't respond to emails. I once complained on Twitter about WSJ's paywall and immediately got a response from the executive editor of the WSJ. It ended up with him blocking me for probably being snarky, but the point is that media people up the chain can be reachable without Herculean effort.

And if you are a company whose customer base is completely reliant on media clients, it seems prudent to go for the constructive public outreach way rather than jumping right into "FUCK YOU PAY ME" discourse, especially when it seems that incompetence and not malice is the cause.
Wait, what? What other OS is it out for?
'Japanese weird' is nothing but confirmation bias. Because you only hear about the outliers, stories strange enough to make their way all through the ocean. There are myriads of ultra-bizarre things happening around you, but most likely you view them as isolated events and don't have a label for them. Whereas you do have one label for Japan, and whenever you encounter something unusual you confirm this bias - while ignoring other things. Next time ask yourself questions such as: is this commonplace in that country? is this considered unusual by the locals as well? is this considered normal in cultures other than mine?

Most likely the journalist will not answer these for you - bad journalists often rely on stereotypes and biases to appeal to your feelings of shock.

Black Diamond funded research into optimal ice screw placement a number of years ago.

The great Alex Lowe had this to say about the report:

"Good work on the screw research. Having read it and thought about the mechanics of pulls along the axis of the screw as opposed to loading such that shearing through the ice plays a role, it makes intuitive sense that a screw placed at a positive angle should indeed hold better, but only in ideal ice conditions - that's the big qualifier. Of course determining what constitutes "ideal ice conditions" is the art and essence of placing ice gear. I felt you made this clear in your article. My personal conclusion from your tests is to place screws at a positive angle when I feel the ice is 'very solid'. Obviously some rather ill defined terms in that statement! 'Very solid' will remain an intuitive assessment."

The chief researcher was Chris H. Harmston, you can find the full study write up here:

the older GoPro cameras offered these FOVs. Unsure what the Hero5 offers.

Wide FOV - 17.2mm
Medium FOV - 21.9mm
Narrow FOV - 34.4mm
No way this can be done in real time... at least in the near future and using the same technique :-)

If you create a frontend, it may be a good idea to add a button for buying a print (which you could do through one of the many online services available). Some of these look very nice and I'm considering printing something like this on a canvas to hang on the wall.
That's probably reading too much into it. The #1 problem is the resource curse, which happens also in capitalist economies that are singularly dependent on resource extraction. Imagine West Virginia without federal subsidy amounting to 25% of its GSP. The second problem is nationalizing companies. The government sucks at operations--that's been proven time and time again.

But Venezuela's example really tells us nothing about market-oriented welfare states, like the US and much of the EU.
And it's sitting on the table behind your screen...
Thanks brudgers!

I know already of both these applications. I probably wasn't clear enough in the original post - I'm looking for something online so all the partners would have access to all the data and be able to manage it. Or, a desktop solution with shared data...
> If I don't the competition will. We originally had web standards for a reason, now we're doing this non-standard stuff.

I suggest you file a complaint here, if you believe you have to use AMP to not get a competitive disadvantage (because that would be unfair influence on the market by Google):

EDIT: The parent comment complains that the market is unfairly influenced by two large almost-monopolies in their respective markets – so why do I get downvotes for linking the official reference for filing antitrust complaints?

Five Types of Virality
At first glance, it looks huge. But then, honestly, when you just consider vast benefit all of us are getting from them, this is nothing and probably should be funded on a higher level. Like 10-15M.
I think you'll find it easy to play up No True Scotsman to help with your cognitive dissonance here. The reality is that every practical implementation of socialism uses the government as a proxy of ownership of the means of production. Venezuela is Socialist. Socialists need to own up to it. No more No True Scotsman guys, we've been playing this game since the rise of Communism. Its time to admit that certain economic systems just don't work. How much more historical proof and human suffering can you possibly need? You sound like those people who deny the moon landing. There will never be enough proof for you it seems.
Even if your city did have a dedicated app, it's almost certainly awful.

Doesn't work for me in chrome either. The images (or whatever they are) doesn't load at all, but just show up gray with the text that they couldn't load. Better than choking like Safari does though.
welcome to the eighties computing, uphill, in the snow, both ways, and we liked it.
Protectionism at its finest. Nice search result you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it.
Its neighbors seem pretty glamorous to Venezuelans, who pour by the tens of thousands into Colombia to buy basic groceries when the border is opened.
You could run other programs on the box.
Is Mirage on L4 something that, if realized, would provide application developers with a more secure basis for building their own applications? I'm but a simple application developer but I do care about security and if there were a platform I could develop against that gave me confidence my code was far less likely to be undermined by kernel or TCP stack vulnerabilities I think I'd be encouraged to do a better job of security myself. This might not be the ideal human attitude toward secure programming but I might not be alone in feeling like my best efforts rest on shaky foundations and that's somewhat demoralizing.
The main thing is they don't believe in market prices at the moment. For example the official USD Bolivar rate is 10:1, the market rate is 1010:1. So you need some mining equipment imported? Either spend ages on sweet talking / bribing officials to get $ at the official rate or break the law. Result: oil production screwed.

As an aside here's an article on how things have gone in Venez vs Chile since 1975. http://humanprogress.org/blog/5-ways-capitalist-chile-is-muc...
Knowing where the viewport is relative to the document is pretty valuable; It means that AMP can defer loading potentially sluggish content until the viewport lands on a particular position.
That's exactly what I do every time, and I became unnaturally quick in this insane dance.
When the webkit-playsinline property is specified, Safari on iPhone allows videos to play inline. Videos without the property will commence playback in fullscreen, but users can pinch close on the video to continue playing the video inline.
On iOS, videos without audio tracks or with disabled audio tracks can play automatically when the webpage loads.

This allows for inline videos in Safari on iOS. Previously, webkit-playsinline only worked for pages saved to the home screen.
It's interesting that this NHTSA statement doesn't mention car-to-car communications at all. There are parties pushing for that, but Google's Urmson was against it. His point is that the troublesome roadway obstacles, from kids to road debris, won't be on the net. So you have to have good sensors, and they can see other cars just fine.
Sweden, Norway and to some degree Germany could be mentioned as successful examples.
I think it has more to do with the fact that it's a giant spectrum and we've never quite managed to build something in a particular strong enough sweet spot so at least for now you are going to continue to see the pendulum swing between NoSQL and SQL (or more usefullly, Document and Relational) databases. What's worse is that there may probably be no mainstream acceptable sweet spot, every developer/team has their own particular preference, and we might never see the pendulum stop.

The spectrum seems to be ad hoc data on the one hand versus ad hoc queries on the other. Document databases prioritize being able to store just about any ad hoc document you might need at the expense of being able to quickly pull off new ad hoc queries that you didn't originally plan for. Relational databases prioritize being able to query very complex relationships in just about any way you can imagine at the expense of making it hard to add new shapes of data.

There's no right answer, just the answer that works best for you at the moment. The pendulum will probably keep swinging for a while, and we'll see more hybrids like we've been seeing Postgres and SQL Server embracing JSON more heavily, because the right answer is probably closer to the middle ground or at least "Why not both?".
That’s “near-sighted”, not “short-sighted”, which is another thing entirely.
This handle was still available when you registered?

I imagine all the legal regulations surrounding charitable donations and tax breaks. If someone was fraudulently gathering money under the guise of charity, it would turn into a huge headache for them, even worse than normal fraud.

That's pure speculation on my part. Given that Tim Cook is personally very pro-charity (he put a matching contributions policy in place after assuming the CEO role), it seems likely that this will loosen up once Apple can put some certification policies in place.
It's much more entertaining and useful to read about the overhaul from Transit itself: https://medium.com/transit-app/transit-4-0-is-now-live-2329f...
I don't see why they need to highlight these pages. Apparently they already use page load speed as a signal in their search rankings. Why not just increase its importance?
Pure speculation: the nation's infrastructure and institutions (think electricity, water, police) are now so broken that the investment that would be required is large enough and risky enough that the risk-reward ratio doesn't make sense even if the oil itself is free or nearly so. Doesn't seem too improbable given the current low market price of oil and the disastrous conditions in Venezuela.
Can retrocausality solve the puzzle of action at a distance
I'm with touche. Why in the world is AMP telling iOS to do scrolling different from other pages? What's the benefit? Why bother?
If your database has schemas, multi-entity ACID transactions and joins, then it's almost certainly a SQL database. A NoSQL database is one that misses one of this features. For example, ArangoDB provides multi-entity ACID transactions and joins, but is schemaless.
Cool! Now someone should try doing this in 3D :)
Can I just say, after years of neglect and falling behind the industry, fuck Safari.
What interface? Every website can build it how they want?

A big factor is that oil prices tanked in 2014.
This seems like it could explain all corruption everywhere? After all, "it's just a matter of time" for everyone.
You can use BrowserStack (https://www.browserstack.com/) or Sauce Labs (https://saucelabs.com/) to test with Safari.

BrowserStack supports Safari 10 now (https://www.browserstack.com/list-of-browsers-and-platforms?...), Sauce Labs only lists up to Safari 9 currently (https://saucelabs.com/platforms#macos).
Claude E. Shannon – A Goliath Amongst Giants
They mangle the URL and there is no link to the actual article.

They do have a "share" link on the previous page that does not have a copy to clipboard or a send as email. (why someone would share before reading something remains an unanswered question)

So in the share interface, you can share on Twitter, which gets the url rewritten. Then you copy it from the share text and paste it on mobile in a new browser tab to get the real url, then you can copy that to the clipboard again and actually share.

Who the heck approved this crap?
I appreciate the effort to define a fast subset of HTML, but the AMP loader on google.com makes the whole page-loading experience different and worse in many ways. Several times today while trying to visit different sites, the AMP JS loader has broken down, displaying only the Google address bar, a fake AMP address bar below it with the intended URL, and a multicolored Android-style circle spinning endlessly (on an iPhone). All the native browser controls for page lifecycle (including timeouts and Reload button) were completely ineffective. It's important for the loader to get its replacement for these things right if it's going to try to supplant the browser's built-in functionality, and it currently doesn't succeed at that.
Business Architecture
Feel free to continue using Snow Leopard if you're happy with it. Here are a few things I've liked in subsequent releases (sorry if some are actually in Snow Leopard and I forgot):

* Notifications
* Air Drop
* Face Time
* Native Full Screen apps
* Multi-touch gestures (mostly use with multi-desktop and fullscreen apps)
* Mac App Store (I like it better for OS updates)
* Recovery Partition
* App Resume
* Terminal improvements (I stopped using iTerm)
* Air Play mirroring
* Notes (and syncing with phone)
* Compressed memory
* Full Disk encryption
* Improved multi-monitor support
* Spotlight improvements

A few things I'm looking forward to when I do upgrade my hardware:

* updating while asleep
* hi dpi monitor support
Even in comparison to their neighbors, they are doing poorly no?

I think the best indicator would be how people are voting with their feet. Are people fleeing from Venezuela to its neighbors or the other way around?
I would use an FPGA for this kind of project. One of the ARM+FPGA hybrids could be easiest.
Pitons are used extremely rarely. For most rock-climbing, protection is usually equipment such as a nut [1] or a cam [2] wedged in the rockface.

You may come across gear given another name - such as Hex, Micronut, Stopper, Chock, etc - but they're all variations of the two: either a lump of metal that wedges into a crack in the rockface, or a spring-loaded movable metal device, that wedges into a crack in the rockface.

Nuts and cams (as well as ice-screws) can be easily removed by the last person on the route (who is being belayed by someone higher up, so doesn't need the protective gear any more). In most cases, gear isn't left behind, unless something's gone wrong.

Now we're really making words up....

"Five types of viral marketing"
That's why I have an ad blockers.

Honestly the IDEA is pretty good, I just find their implementation horrible (see my other comment, quite possibly iOS specific issue).
Yes? If what we've seen from the banks is success, one would hate to witness failure.
If you enjoyed this post, pick up a copy of Carroll Smith's "Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook"[1]

The focus is geared more towards high performance racing machines rather than ice climbing but it's the bible amongst certain groups that like to stick two supercharged, fuel-injected nitromethane-burning blocks of metal together with a handful of threaded rods to produce 10,000 horsepower. It also covers more basic things like when you should use a washer and if so, what kind.

I also happen to particularly like the book as, at first glance, the subject matter looks dull but the author makes it...riveting.

It just feels different to non-AMP pages on iOS. Like, bad different.
I feel like I should point out that their name isn't storytelling but I also feel like I shouldn'tdo that... :/
I think you're hung up on the name change. It's now macOS, whereas it used to be OS X. When the parent poster is says macOS, they mean the latest version of OS X/macOS.
I work in developing markets, and am really excited for AMP. The web on 2g networks is a horrible experience -- imagine browsing the web today at netscape-era speeds.

My only big gripe with AMP is it's only built for publishing. It's missing a key feature of making the web complete: the ability for users to interact (ie no forms).
If you were smart, you'd snag primitivepics.com , stat. Forget Twitter, establish your brand. I wouldn't even open source it until you've done so. It's unique, and non trivial.
Hopefully when they're done with this project they can return their resources to their NYC Google Express service and stop forcing customers to order their food and water to arrive only within 8am-10pm periods instead of the previous 3 or 4-hour periods, making GExpress practically useless to the biggest city in the country
Germany wasn't being propped up by a single resource that was seized by the state. They are far more reliant on a capitalist system than Venezuela ever was during Chavez' reign. The comparison is absolutely silly.

You can use VOIP based endpoints and software like iaxmodem. A few years ago (~2007-2008) I had an E1 (30 telephone lines) to my office in mainland China specifically for oldschool parallel wardialling .. err.. I mean sending and receiving faxes. http://iaxmodem.sourceforge.net/
I think this actually has the opposite implication from the one you seem to be trying to draw.

If different teams finding the same bugs was common, then someone else probably would have found this one sometime in the last 14 years and reported it to Cisco such that it was actually closed. Therefore, finding overlapping bugs is rare -> NSA should stockpile bugs.

(We probably should have a separate agency in charge of attempting to make things more secure, perhaps by finding and reporting bugs like this)
>I mean, even if we assume a socialist economy is terribly inefficient, like operating at 50% of the efficiency a capitalist one, it still should be enough for sustaining a resource-rich country.

That's a hell of an assumption. One of the things you're failing to consider is that when resources are allocated by fiat instead of by markets, corruption becomes much more pervasive and suffocating.

Also, all of the people who have the skills and experience to get things done leave for somewhere they can be rewarded for their efforts instead of demonized.

>I mean, this is not some mid-African country with >50% of the population illiterate, bunch of horrible tropical diseases, plus children running around with guns and AIDS...

Except it actually isn't too far from that. People don't seem to recognize just how fragile civilization is.

Look at Cuba. It was once the richest country in Latin America. Today it is one of the poorest thanks to communism.
I don't think this as mysterious a problem as you think it is. If I take a snapshot of a VM on aws, and copy it to a new instance, the vm will 'experience' being shut down on one instance and waking up on another, while the original will wake up exactly as it was. This no more negates the existence of the operating system than your scenario negates the existence of consciousness.

(Btw, the videogame _Soma_ goes over your exact scenario)
Creating a certificate might be easy for someone with the proper skillset.

However creating an world-class organization that provides certificates as easily as LE does... definitely not.
Venezuela is a case study in corruption, authoritarian dictatorship, rampant interference from outside states, and a multiple decades long brain-drain due to the aforementioned factors.

this should not be held up as ANY KIND OF EXAMPLE whatever re: the efficacy of social safety net programs. it's simply a non-sequitur. the fact that you're even attempting to link them at all speaks poorly as to your own understanding of the situation and reveals your ideological agenda.
Finally - we've been asking for this for years. This is key for WebVR on iphones, also.
