Sure let's create tech that reduces the human labor needed to maintain human life and civilization. But the result should be people working fewer hours, not fewer people working.

There are efforts to build OSes directly on L4 kernels as well. Most notably Genode. http://genode.org/

They recently added support for running on seL4 too: https://sel4.systems/pipermail/devel/2016-August/000967.html

Good to know the WaPo is finally revealing itself to be a trash mag. Amazing how much of a 180 it took since Jeff Bezos took over, although it wasn't much better in my eyes prior to then either.
How hard is it to understand, "It used to be interesting but lately it's boring, what's up with them?" feeling?
Besides what good is an OS upgrade, if it isn't exciting while it has a risk of breaking things and possibly changing your workflow?
Nice! More iterations per frame would reduce the jitter probably.
My inspiration is mentioned in the README. :)
Sure, but tell me what isn't feasible? Ok, I'm not creating photoshop in a browser, but there have been some non-trivial highly interactive apps I've built and they are still modular and serve their purpose well.

I'm not saying we shouldn't get on react - I'm sure in the end it will serve myself and others well, but it's a bit of a headf*ck trying to figure out the whole ecosystem, and how to write a good solid app in it. For anyone that tries to say "but it's only react with x" - No it's not! Not for anyone that cares about the quality of their app, theres a whole heap to learn.

And I am learning, but at the same time I'd rather create a well designed app with the crummy tech I know than a crummy app in something I just haven't figured out yet. Luckily I'm doing my own thing so have that choice.
I think a lot of it is a response to Facebook's instant articles too. They were beginning to build up a story where the fastest version of the Web is via the Facebook app, not the browser and not search. It doesn't take a huge amount more before that story becomes a threat to search.
The code already does that. ;) Perhaps you'd like a larger constraint: https://github.com/fogleman/primitive/blob/master/primitive/...

The evidence seems to suggest that the push for AMP us all about making sure Google gets its ad tags hardcoded on your pages. Otherwise, Google could release a YSlow type package of best practices. I believe it once considered doing this under the title Page Speed Project.

Dos and don'ts on designing for accessibility
Agreed. If I remember correctly it even destroyed a site once when it was attempting to make sure their validator could reach the verification file. I just did what everyone said: "it's so easy, just run it on auto mode with apache and it'll configure your cert for you". Turned out to be a huge PITA.

Recently I had to renew that site again (I've been postponing and dreading it) and looked for a different client. The getssl bash script[1] had its own problems (all caused by me not taking the time to read the readme, but the default settings were a bit odd), but overall a 10× better experience than the official client. Much less magic, much more a unix-like tool ("it does only one thing, and one thing very well").

When the government gave or sold the land to the first titleholder, it was not giving or selling absolute rights over the land – that is sovereignity, which governments usually don't sell or give up (although occasionally they do, e.g. Russia selling Alaska to the US) – it was giving or selling only partial rights. Even if it labelled the transaction "freehold", I think in reality all real estate is actually leasehold, with the government as the landlord, subject to lease conditions (laws) and rent due (taxation). It retained the ultimate ownership of the land, and only sold/gave a limited and subordinated form of ownership.

Suppose someone wants to lease land, and make the rent proportional to the tenant's income. You might think it is an odd arrangement, but freedom of contract implies if landlord and tenant agree on this it is binding. Now, that essentially describes income tax. The government owns all its territory, it has leased it to the residents of that territory, it has made the rent (tax) proportional to income. If you don't pay your rent, the government can seize your moveable property, just like how your landlord can seize your moveable property if you don't pay your rent. (Unpaid rent is a debt, and its collection can be compelled through the same legal processes as any other debt.)

What iOS dominance are you talking about? Android has larger market share, last time I checked. Even if that's not true in some regions, it's not dominance at all. If people don't like iOS restrictions, they can use Android, it's very competitive platform.

Don't forget that Windows is really the only universal desktop operating system. OS X hard wired to Macs and Linux has really tiny share on desktop market. So those laws about monopolists can be applied to Windows, but with iOS it's a very different situation.

And the need to get people "excited" is what leads to the kitchen-sink bloat of operating systems.
Likewise, in most discussions of self-driving cars, it is noted that they probably won't work well in the snow. Someone (presumably not from a snowy area) will then say that the car will pull over and wait, as you shouldn't be driving in a snowstorm anyway. They never say what's supposed to happen next, with the highways full of people whose cars have stranded them. Are they all supposed to call for cabs? But wait, cabs have been replaced by self-driving cars...
Blink is a fork of webkit so it supports webkit prefixes anyways.
The OnePlus looks like an option, though I haven't ever used one myself. It's got an unlockable bootloader, so an AOSP variant or CyanogenMod should be reasonable simple to install.
That's because they're useless for 80% of the stuff I do. If I'm looking at the weather, I don't need a weather app. You can get my location from my browser you can show me everything there. Why do I need to download?

Why do I need apps to do these things. Sometimes apps are handy but I will find them if I need them. You forcing me to use them does nothing but make me find somewhere else to visit!

The comments in that thread are really saddening.

I feel sorry for those developers that have suddenly had their applications broken for them on a whim by the Chromium team.

I write JS code and deliver it to clients. What will I tell them when their website widgets break because Chrome removed SVG support entirely?
It used to be that every time you get an OS X upgrade, you can expect the OS to be faster, more stable, crash less, and have more actually useful features, both for developers and casual users. Those days ended with Snow Leopard. Of course Apple isn't charging for MacOS née Mac OS X née macOS anymore, because it's not worth the money anymore, and they know it. Now it's just an auxiliary product to their mobile devices. It's a supplement.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE the user experience of the loading but everything else about it, in my opinion, is very negative. You can't even share it like you normally would on the web so it breaks the web in far too many ways just to hard code Google analytics / ads into the website.
Consumers would otherwise have had to pay some other amount for their unemployment, poverty, and reliance on handouts.

Laying all of them off also has costs, both financial and human.

If every human being was replaced by a robot, the cost savings to consumers would be enormous. There would also not be any consumers, as nobody would have money to spend.
The context I meant to suggest was that people have been wondering why rich people keep working so hard that they miss out on their lives for about 2,400 years at least.

Funnily enough the AMP version of my page is larger and takes longer to load than the non-amp version. And ironically I don't even get that little "amp" bolt symbol because it's a software product page and not a recipe, news post or blog post (there's only a handful of categories that are amp enabled).

I think I'm going to remove the AMP page, too. It offers nothing to me and is actually worse for my visitors than the normal responsive page.
The US has 72% of the manufacturing output of China, while having a factory workforce that is only 17% of the Chinese one. This doesn't square with your first assertions. US Manufacturing also spends far more on manufacturing R&D than any other country.

They could, but apps would break (especially ones whose devs are not quick to update or have abandoned), third party devs will complain on changes, etc. They wouldn't be able to iterate as they like, or make it depend on stuff only deep integration can provide.

And what would they get in instead? The ability to have the storage be powered by a third party cloud service because some folks might not trust or wont adopt iCloud?

If anything, they want folks to have reasons to adopt iCloud, not commoditize it.
I think rigorous application of formal methods plus deployment techniques like unikernels have the potential to improve the quality of a lot of software.
The best part about AMP is it provides an incentive for major content publishers to create non-bloated pages. Without the AMP standards marketing teams start adding "all of the things" causing page loads to become much heavier.
Sony provided an update to 6.0.1 I did not think the bloatware was as bad as a carrier-branded phone and most of it appears easy enough to delete. For a personal phone, I'd buy the Z3C again. (For my second, work phone, I liked the Z3C enough that I decided to go with a Z3, which I also like.)
I've personally been through several Buddhist funerals for my grandparents, and can attest to this murky and opaque "business" practice of traditional Buddhist temples. There are many additional "upkeep fees" that you're expected to donate to your family temple for years (at least 7 years after death iirc). As a westerner, I was quite befuddled.

But it's really a SaaS model of you think about it.

I really welcome the transparency this service will bring. Also, many people move to Tokyo from other regions and really don't have the "family temple" to turn to.

> What a lot of people don't realize is that prices aren't inherently good or bad in and of themselves, they just are. If somebody else is willing to pay 20k for a diamond, that's the price of a diamond.

Arguably, even the early Christian thinkers like Acquinas agree with you on this. http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2015/08/15435/
>..And IDEs being better is your opinion

Yes, but IDEs being more integrated with certain languages (e.g. IntelliJ and Java, VS and C#) instead of ad-hoc collection of scripts for a language that Emacs offers (except perhaps for Lisps) is a fact.
> As a programmer I can kinda evaluate the work behind Twitter.

That's just the Twitter you see. There is plenty you don't see: back-office systems, their strategic decisions and product roadmap. All of which have a material impact on staffing.

> That's why I brought up WhatsApp -- itself is an example of this very thing.

While the core functionality of WhatsApp and Twitter might seem technologically similar, businesswise they aren't (weren't?). Twitter, for better it for worse requires analytics and ads, which WhatsApp did not have. Additionally, even the technological similarities are superficial as WhatsApp is mostly 1:1 messaging whereas Twitter is M:N
I agree, LetsEncrypt has done a great job. My original comment was snarky though accurate in a focused sense concerning the actual creation of a self-signed certificate (which can be easily cron jobbed). Of course I understand and appreciate that there is the whole negotiating the larger certificate scene, multiple companies, politics, etc. and that takes time, talent, effort and money. If LetsEncrypt had just come out from the start and said, "we can offer this service for X dollars" then it would have been more transparent.

Hi. Author here. Really sorry about all the issues.

(1) Sorry for the bugs -- misconfigured subscribe tool has been removed and you can use http to access the site as there is an issue with the https config on the new landing page

(2) Graphs have the axes explained in the text. Removing them from the figures was recommended as a marketing hack, but very ill-advised. I'll get the figures updated within the next half-hour or so

(3) Advertisement? Sure. But... also a huge dataset and an interesting finding about the relative perceptions. It's not a scientific journal article by any means (I've written some), but it does outline how the data was put together. If anyone is interested in collaborating on a deeper study, I'm very happy to do so!
"Automatic driving will not be reached incrementally."

Not true.. There are other ways of doing this incrementally. For example, slow speeds, closed roads (no pedestrians or other cars), only in good weather, ideal conditions, etc.
The idea that not being "great" is insulting is more toxic than assuming someone isn't great. Lots of hero worship in this industry that fucks with people's egos - your statement being a prime example.
It might be -- I've only got one 4K I've tried.

But Thunderbolt is not "proprietary" is an open standard adopted by the industry at large, including PC makers.

Also the "expensive Apple hardware (outdated $1000 monitors only" is not really apt. It's not that running dual monitors necessitates using old Cinema Displays. It's just that Cinema Display's are old, and Apple hasn't made any new monitors for a few years. But no need to buy/use Apple monitors for that -- and it would be foolish to buy them when there are 4K ones around by Dell etc. Apple even keeps a page with supported and tested third party 4K monitors.
We got a warning from work about it.
Give them a thumbnail explanation of what Chrome did, and suggest a more inclusive browser.
I'm also looking to a good cross-browser, cross-device solution to this problem.

I'm using Pinboard's save tabs feature [0] for this, though it's only provided in browser extensions and so currently only available on desktop browsers.

I also wrote a short custom script to move tabs between Safari and Chrome on OS X [1]. At the bottom of the readme, you'll find a comparison of other options for the "move my tabs" problem.

Reminds me of a short-story, "All the Myriad Ways" by Larry Niven, although that was almost the opposite, because it dealt with a different kind of "pointlessness".

Specifically, about how choices were robbed of meaning when -- in some universe or another -- you made every one of them, as opposed to losing meaning because choices were impossible or predetermined.

Probably any self-driving vehicle should have a button you can push that amounts to consenting to "The car will now record that you initiated a manual override. You are now in full control. Anything you do is your responsibility." Insurers will throw a fit if you push this button but it's better than being stuck in a bad situation because your car can't figure out a way out of it.
I was thinking along those lines, perhaps a general swash shape that is randomised at the edges a little.

You have to compare the one death using autopilot to one death of people driving Teslas without autopilot. Musk tried to compare it against the universe of drivers (Teslas, kids driving crappy cars, etc), which was a complete false comparison.

So the reason it was a big deal is because it was a huge fatality. Tesla drivers are generally a pretty safe bunch. Statistically, if autopilot hadn't been engaged, that death would not have occurred. Autopilot makes Tesla drivers less safe, not more safe.

Also, the government is doing self driving industry a huge favor. These fatalities could screw over the whole industry if they get out of hand. Musk is giving self driving a bad name.
