That is one thing to ponder. For MS the home/consumer desktop has been pretty much a means to an end.

This in that they can point to the consumer sales and say that those are people already familiar with MS products, and thus require less training when hired by a company.

That is, if said company base their computing environment on MS products.

MS going cloud is basically saying to said companies that MS can handle all the day to day support issues, for a fee. Thus the companies can reduce the size of their IT department.

> Bitcoin and Ethereum and their ilk have, out of necessity, valued ACID qualities above all else

They definitely don't have ACID properties.

The blockchain gives you something like eventual consistency, but it's probabilistic.

You have atomicity within a single block, but given the acceptance of the block is only eventually consistent, I'm not sure it's meaningful.
A non-profit can make money it just has a social agenda as well. It would also end up paying taxes like a for-profit probably too.
They're not a culture that relishes saying "no" outright either, so what you're talking about can get intensely aggressive by way of a substitute for "no". For example, if someone in Japan tells you that something is, "Very difficult", they means it's about as likely as spontaneous, unpowered, human flight.
> we just have to take the word of people

Unfortunately, that's a loophole large enough to drive a troll truck through, so it isn't workable.

Moderation is guesswork. We guess wrongly sometimes, but at least it's usually easy to show us that we're wrong. In such cases we correct the mistake and say sorry.
"I can't be bothered to remember which tags are self-closing, which tags need explicit closing tags which can't be combined into the opening tag, etc"

You're right lets not bother ourselves with this small things, cause === and == do the exact same comparison in Javascript and all browsers are exact replicates when implementing html, css and javascript.

Beyond all the sarcasm, in reality, web programming is a hassle. But other programming languages and markups have their quirks as well. I'm glad you found a solution, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't look at the fine details of a specification.
Kinect data includes depth. I guess you mean train a model based on kinect rgb+depth and use it then to predict depth using only the rgb data.

For real -- having most of the *nix niceties in a visually appealing, hassle free environment is so nice. We are on Red Hat at work, and the hoops one has to jump through to get reasonable fonts up and running and the huge inconsistencies between desktop apps makes me pine for the Mac.
It looks like the linked article has been updated at the end to clarify.

It sounds like some third party extension's installer (e.g. DivX) is reaching into Chrome.app and mucking with permissions (setting owner to root). Not sure why they don't install into "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins" (maybe it doesn't work with chrome anymore?)

(Edit: but a comment in the linked bug report suggests that this may also occur if Chrome is installed as one user and used by another.)

Your alternative is to shoot them at the border, or film them while they drown at sea... and even that wouldn't work as well as you might hope. Just wait and see what the next few decades hold, it's going to make this recent wave of migration seem absolutely delightful by comparison.

We've made the implicit choice to live our lives in such a way that the AGW is going to make the places like Northern Africa utterly unlivable, and then we'll blame people for fleeing from it.

It's the typical tragicomedy of a species that has a collective memory of about 20 seconds.

Here I agree very much with you. With stuff so complex I can't imagine going through all that code. That's why I don't get people saying "if only I had the this or that source code".
I wonder how many of those devs "pivoted" from being web devs.

Best i can tell, Mac got a inroad in the web development world thanks to:

A. Being unix based and thus similar to the then prevalent LAMP stack.

B. Apple having a entrenched position in media production, and web development, via newspapers and broadcasters going online, becoming a part of that economy.
They wouldn't question this if the VR Apple had smell or taste. They are assuming that because the technology doesn't exist today it can't be true. They would say the same thing it the early 1700 if you told them that we will one day fly across the sky and talk on little devices. The magic behind this is that the technology has yet to be invented so people cant comprehend how it works. Even if we are in a simulation. Anyone who codes or understand AI at its lowest form will understand that we ourselfs are just 1's and 0's.
Because when this bug happens, the pilot is going to face a "christmas tree" of warning lights and cautions, most likely provoking an immediate PAN or Mayday and a possible diversion to the nearest suitable airport.

Loss of attitude info is a serious business, in the worst case the pilot may be left to fly only "raw data" and using the backup "steam gauge" instruments, because the displays and automation will stop working. Such event is no cake on a big jet, even during daylight, perfect weather and with the crew perfectly current and capable to fly like that.

Murphy will have it that it happens during night, in a storm and most crews today are trained to rely on the automation and rarely getting to hand fly, even less raw data, without any of the computers. The result will be another AF443 ...

It's terrifying that you can innocently trigger bugs in your visual cortex that will take lots of time to fix.

A terrible idea would be to make a video game (or a short movie maybe) which triggered the effect. Imagine if the background in (e.g.) Super Hexagon were designed for this purpose...

They actually already do it, we enrolled in Boston this summer in "RushHour". They pre-cooled our house 6 times over the summer before a expected peak demand and gave us a $40 or $50 credit. It was great, we were not home 3 of those times and the others we didn't notice at the time at all, so it was basically just free money.
Emacs VC mode has a bug where all listed files in the vc-dir buffer are shown with their basenames for at least Git and CVS repositories, and for CVS it renders the mode unusable.

Yes, that's what's taught in US schools, but there's significant controversy among historians over whether the Japanese may have been about to surrender in the late summer of 1945 anyway.

It's mentioned in the (rather "left") book and Showtime series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Stone%27s_Untold_Histor...

I don't think it's a stretch at all to believe that the US did not need to drop the second bomb.

And of course if you do, that is weakening you against other kinds of attacks.
I have some sympathy for your position, and I'm against the banning of Internet.org, but your reply is ineffective because it misses the arguments against the service.

Even something given with no ulterior motive can have destructive effects on the recipient society, since it eliminates potential competition, while often not providing a better good or service. How many future ISPs offering cheap open internet access will not even appear?

Ironically, if end tags were truly non-optional, html might actually compress better, because it would have less entropy (less choices). In practice, it would allow for a compression filter to represent the tree structure in a less redundant form with fewer corner cases to deal with (much like compressors do for binaries, for example).
There's a long wait list for street food vendor permits, so it's not as simple as you think.

> How is lobbying still legal in the USA?

Lobbying is well-protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. It is considered "core political speech," or, alternatively protected under the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There's an entire body of First Amendment law out there for you to study if you're particularly interested.
Ah, you're right. That part was left out of the warnings I got. "Jones and Holding (1975) found that 15 minutes of induction can lead to an effect lasting 3.5 months."

The point that you seemed to miss was that concerns regarding network availability in the event of a nuclear attack was what prompted the development of the internet. And so networking technology is an important concern when it comes to nuclear issues.

Distressed ravens show empathy
Friend of mine runs a tiny and successful to-go cafe. His most unexpected problem was competitor restaurants around him constantly phoning city hall to "complain" about his business in hopes they regulate him off the street. The most common complaint at first was cooking smell, so the tiny cafe is forced to install expensive filtration exhaust.Then the complaints turned to signage. A city inspector showed up numerous times to measure his sign, how far his little sandwich board was placed in the sidewalk out front, the brightness of the lights on his sign, that the artwork on the sandwich board was offensive or violated one of the thousands of regulations regarding public advertising. Then the complaints turned to patio, there was too much noise, chairs were too far into the street, garbage was left too long on tables, ect.

Anybody with a restaurant/cafe startup idea should have some kind of contingency plan to deal with the inevitable use of city hall to try and close you down.

Yes, but the whole point to using abstractions (such as high-level languages) is to separate the context where implementation details are relevant (e.g., when writing a compiler), from the rest of the system, where implementation details don't matter (e.g., when using a compiler).
This is very useful. Thanks for doing it, I was gonna attend but something came up last minute.
When's the last time you dined out --- had a whole meal --- on a "unique dish" in something other than a conventional table-service restaurant? Pretty much just food trucks, right?
It's a real shame HTML5 ever became a thing. We would have been a hell of a lot better off with a simpler spec - perhaps not xhtml as is, but certainly one that keeps the simplicity of well-formedness around.

Such a mess nowadays - and it's not just `<p>`, similar special snowflake rules exist for `<a>` and `<button>` too, and indeed lots of elements have special quirks that make composability a pain.
Yes. WebKitGTK+2 uses isolated renderer/host processes.

I like to put many attributes on one line too. It fills the page better, making it easier for me to take in: 80 characters wide by 50 lines long, instead of 20 characters wide by 200 lines long.
I call it smart vs clever.

If you're doing a bunch of "clever" things in your code, you or your co-workers are going to hate it when you have to come back and figure it all out again later.

Smart developers can make the difficult look simple.
Right. Most applications don't need that.

It's only the server apps running 24/7 on fixed hardware that should have a defined memory usage.
A good example of what you're talking about is Telegram [https://telegram.org].

Advancing ‘transposon theory of aging’
That's what it's supposed to be about, but the details matter. You can get different results by tweaking the story in different ways. For example:

You are seated at a console. In front of you is a button. If you don't push the button, five randomly selected people will die. If you do push the button, only one randomly selected person will die. That is all you know. Do you push the button?

Or if that still feels like a moral dilemma to you, try this:

You are seated at a console. In front of you is a button. If you push the button you will save the lives of four randomly selected people who would otherwise die. Do you push the button?
Many people assume since they are usually motivated by their self-interest others are too.

The fact is, getting what I want and giving others what they want are usually not mutually exclusive. And anytime there is a conflict, there is usually an acceptable compromise.
It would be quite simple to have a two tiered approach to the logging problem since they have separated it into 2 components. One can just write and ship files while the other is what they have described in terms of providing real time streaming.

So the question then becomes what are the failures modes of their logging setup in terms of misbehaving clients? I don't know how kafka handles misbehaving clients. I suspect it would lead to global effects and slowdown of the entire cluster because of 1 or 2 misbehaving clients whereas in the current set up local misbehavior will be localized to the nearest aggregator dropping messages. Simple memory usage and other kinds of monitoring can then be used to find these issues and then mitigate them accordingly.

This is still a heck of lot simpler setup than using kafka and worrying about all sorts of weird distributed system failure modes. I'm sure kafka got them started initially but continuing to use it is like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly. For the use case they have this setup is the correct one and migrating to kafka if it becomes necessary will be possible. So in my view this is proper engineering. They've made all the right trade-offs instead of just chasing fads and trends.

It probably would make the parser simpler, however, which may well be faster. And xhtml is closer to the dynamic dom in semantics than html, by virtue of not having self-closing issues or nestability issues (i.e., you express nesting a button in a button with the dom and xhtml, but not html).
It's worth considering why you were advised to stay in the higher class cars. It could be classism and segregation, or there could be a higher incidence of theft and you got lucky. Or who knows.
>It was a nation of profound evil.

That's one perspective. Another is that Japan was merely doing what it felt was necessary to protect itself from interference by aggressive Western Imperial powers, and weren't necessarily more "evil" than any other empire at the time. A third is that the country that dropped two atomic bombs on civilian cities and firebombed Tokyo to the ground was no less evil than the empire they were fighting.

I don't necessarily agree or disagree with this, but "evil" seems more often than not to be matter of cultural relativism and propaganda. It wasn't long after World War 2 that the US was begging Japan for help in their other Asian conflicts and burning whole villages to the ground in the name of fighting the "profound evil" of communism.
Why not treat anonymity as opt-in?

A few big problems with the article:

- Comparing the brand new A10 to a 2013-era Intel.

- Asserting iOS for workstations.

While many people could probably get by on iOS, it is particularly crippled for people that need to do technical work.
However, I found the idea intriguing, of having a workstation with multiple ARM or Apple chips in it with a proper OS. I know they exist already, but having Apple behind them would make a big difference.
Well, it took several decades, but standardized html parsing is now actually fairly robust. So you may not be wrong, but anything that breaks is probably heavily outdated and probably not worth much to anybody (because it's parsing html different from browsers today, and it's not like optional tags are a new thing...).

I wouldn't get too worried about crawlers and parsers.
Nah, the only things that will hurt Intel are "good enough" SoCs out of Asia and possibly ARM in bulk in the server racks.

Apple's "special sauce" only remains special as long as it remains an Apple exclusive, and in no way will that be a Intel threat no matter how much the SV goes round the infinite loop...
Yes you could do ubiquiti for considerably cheaper, probably even less than $500. I was thinking at least an airfiber to get up to gbps speeds and have a little more reliability, but yeah you can definitely go cheaper.
Could you elaborate on the last bit - the fact that such workstations exist already. Can you share any pointers?
I see a few reasons: less compiled languages, more abstractions, more best practices, that means a lot of libs. I've seen Wirth pascal compiler, it's two files of a few hundreds of lines, but it's not decoupled in any way. Today most programs are larger than this because they compose lots of rules. It also brings false laziness, since you're not used to write short code, well you don't.

Dark Net; a Wilderness Where Invisible World Wars Are Fought and Hackers Roam Free
As a Linux user I have to admit this is a good argument.

I like how DHH thinks about it. Make a simple product (with his own words: it is not rocket surgery) which solves problems, do it for-profit and put a price on it. After earning your salary and paying your bills you can still do rocket surgery for fun and give back to the community. Or do it also for profit promoting yourself as a professional or even your product. That's totally fine for me because in Rework he even points out that this is the part of the Basecamp marketing strategy (Out-teach your competition).

If someone brands his social network as "non-profit" only to put ads on my screen hoping for my paid op-out, that is not OK for me. I trust humans who work for real money and sometimes give back to the community but I don't trust saints.

Anyhow, we may be different and that is totally OK.
