This. I just got a new T460S and installed linux without any problems.
One thing that keeps me on CouchDB is Cloudant's pricing. It just destroys most of the competition. For example, the only RethinkDB hosting I know of is Compose and their pricing is $22/gb. Cloudant is $1/gb.

I guess CouchDB is not the easiest thing to install in a non-technical person computer, but PouchDB, on the other hand, is as easy as it can get.

I don't understand how projects like remotestorage, for example, aren't using Pouch and Couch and instead try to develop their own replication protocol without success for many years.
I switched to MacPorts following the Google Analytics debacle [1] and how it was handled [2]. I had this expectation that MacPorts would be backwards and full of ancient packages but it's not - it's fantastic! The package repository is really good, the project itself is stable and it doesn't have a default-on analytics component aggregating my package data at Google.

W8, what's Voice, Messenger and Duo?
Thanks for trying to support multiple major versions! I run into this problem all of the time with LLVM and its dependencies. I'd love to get have the latest LLVM available for my own work (which depend on the static libraries it builds), but also be able to use tools which depend on older versions of LLVM.
I remember when my mom wanted to teach me not to drink soda when I was young, that it was bad.
So to show it was bad for the tooth's she took one of my tooth I lost and put it in coca cola. And after a couple of weeks (don't remember the time exactly, but it was quite long time) it had dissolved to just some goo at the bottom of the glass :)

I use WhatsApp Web quite a lot, it's not perfect, but it's a nice interface to use when you have access to a desktop/laptop and can continue your conversations there.
If you didn't take a look at stronglifts, you should give a try.
Actually, it's only one of a few beginner strength training (most focused to powerlifting, but you can mix with BB if you want to) available out there. I started lifting with stronglifts, today I do greyskull LP.
>Companies shouldn't run their support forums. Instead, companies should offer a better level of support by default.

To clarify, by "run" do you mean "have one" (that they therefore by definition operate) or do you mean exercise moderator power over?
dang sorry to hear that man :/ that's exactly why I don't want to upgrade just yet.
So because we're resourceful, we shouldn't venture off our planet and consider mass suicide?
I really like this post... Linux seems to become more mainstream :D

I doing same: shell scripts (or Perl/Python/C) and RPM packages. Works well for more than decade. But I use my own library of modules for bash (bash-modules project on GitHub).
Just wanted to highlight that as of this release, all the core code for Homebrew-Cask (the sister project for GUI apps) has been (re)integrated into the Brew codebase. This should allow for tighter integration between the two and a renewed focus on making installing GUI apps as painless as possible!

From a user/developer perspective, we've created a command line utility (`cask-repair`) to make version bumps as painless as possible. Would love to see more people using it [0], and we welcome suggestions and PRs (we have a few long-standing issues that have gone unaddressed, and fresh eyes are always good!)

That Sauron was evil with no redeeming qualities was the whole point. Otherwise the quest would not have been so heroic. Some of the dark races were described as deceived more than evil.
As far as female characters go, I would say Galadriel, Eowyn, and Arwen were all quite powerful and interesting.

That's precisely the point. It should compete on its own merits.
An argument for this approach is that it keeps the ecosystem healthy. Instead of a lot upper version bounds to keep track of and conflicting dependencies, broken dependents are fixed upstream if they don't build. As I understand it nixpkgs, in general, works this way.
Oh, stop trying to stifle the confidence of others.
Google wants to own the whole IT stack from servers and software services to devices. It supported the entrenched alternatives (Windows and Macs) when it had no alternative, but now it won't, unless it really has to.

In Google's thinking, the whole IT stack is Google cloud-based, and in the long term, people having "different desktop devices" isn't the right way to go.

Yes, this is overstatement for sarcastic effect, but the trend seems to be real....

You could argue that the FBI's use case does not harm, perpeutatue, or endorse the exploitation of children any further. It would be a different story if the FBI also commissioned new content to run the site.
And even there, to be absolutely sure, you'd have to have a well-sanitized environment (say, start from ensuring that when you build your application from sources, you know all the source code, and you know your compilers and libraries aren't pwned, and you know your hardware wasn't hacked by e.g. some BIOS-resident vulnerabilities.)

It's pretty depressing, actually. A determined adversary with intelligence-service level resources can get a lot done. Your main hope is to be such an insignificant target that they don't want to waste resources, e.g. expose 0-day vulnerabilities etc to get just you.
Obligatory: dependencyci.com, which does the a very similar thing.
The amount that your dev's will benefit from the distraction free environment depends how much they're distracted in their day to day environment, unless that's a lot then a 2x productivity increase seems unlikely, more like 1.2 - 1.3x. Stress of a tight deadline and no time to recouperate may also work against the dev's depending on how they deal with stress.

My first stance to management would have been if they want to cut the deadline, they also need to cut the features. Unless there's some kind of launch / public event this seems like a silly thing to do for the sake of 1 week!
Be aware of "update bug"

If Homebrew was updated on Aug 10-11th 2016 and brew update always says "Already up-to-date". you need to run:

```
cd "$(brew --repo)" && git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master && brew update
```

I had to.
I was visiting China recently and started using WeChat... it really is far ahead of other messaging apps, the amount of integration with other services is staggering (many shops offer payment through the app, QR codes to link to WeChat are commonplace, even my hotel advertised its wifi settings through WeChat!)

I wonder if WeChat will try to push the service more outside of China?
Unfortunately we've seen that law enforcement in the US is able to get away with doing some rather despicable things in the name of fighting crime.

Personally, I don't believe it's moral or ethical for law enforcement to commit crimes in order to catch criminals. After all, how can we defend our own morals and ethics if we're willing to ignore them for "reasons"?
If you look into international politics and even the financial elite, the will to change and adapt green policies is there, more so than in the general public.

Which is exactly the problem. Nobody is going to follow a leader preventing them from buying 7 different iPhones even though you probably only needed one.

Which is a simplification, but the middle class is completely dependent on economic growth. Both as consumers, but mainly as workers.

I think there is a lot of hope for change though, I mean, automation is going to make 60% of the current workforce obsolete over the next 20 years. With that comes a need for change.

> I read articles saying the jobs will be offset with new jobs, but no one bothers to explain what.

Robots in warehouses (AGV's) need to be sold, designed, welded, eclectically wired, programmed, transported, installed, integrated into an existing system, maintained. All of those are done manually, by sales people, welders, electricians, CAD designers, electronica engineers, software engineers, site engineers, ... . I worked in the Automated Guided Vehicle industry, and custom projects are all made by men, not automated yet (because projects are custom).
So, not meaningfully encrypted at all then?

I see. I have to admit that I'm especially bad at these kinds of decisions :-) I don't use GTD, so abandoning my plan is easy for me. I also don't try to optimise, generally speaking.

The one thing I can say from my experience with software projects is that plans must change in order to have success. It is rare that you will nail the correct course of action up front. In fact it is rare that the thing the customer needs looks anything like what they think they want at the start. This seems to be true for me in my life as well.

A friend once told me that you should tell the universe what you want and then wait for it to be delivered. The trick is that the universe never gives you what you asked for, but rather what you need. Your job is to recognise it when it comes. Easier said than done!

But anyway, thank your for the ideas. I will have to think about this!
For the most activities we embark on, none of us is ready for. We just jump in and learn on the fly, the journey itself transforms and adapts us. So, maybe we haven't learned enough about taking care of a planet, but that's not a reason to hold ourselves back ...isn't it?
"something prone to corrosion"

Prone to acidic corrosion. Freshly machined stainless steel will rust unless its passivated in an acidic dip, you couldda chrome plated it but dissolving off everything not chrome ends up in about the same place.

Another good one is aluminum as in aluminum nails, pre 1980s house siding was aluminum for decades before it switched to short life vinyl siding, and aluminum is mostly impervious to acids and reacts very strongly to alkali. Technically pure aluminum will melt away in either, but the oxide coating is stable in acids and dissolves in bases, so in practice aluminum is acid proof and alkali melts right thru it.
Wait, are we talking about SemanticUI or Bootstrap here?

Whenever scifi invokes the "infinite number of parallel worlds" trope I become much more cynical about all of the subsequent events.

"Will he reach the airlock in time?" well there's an infinite number of him that do, and an infinite number which don't. And an infinite number where he's a banana. The only question is which outcome the writer has decided to show us.

Thanks for listing them, I was curious indeed.

By the way, in which area do the following requests fall:

- Yielding to an emergency vehicle with sirens on.

- Moving backwards to a safe and large enough spot when the route is too narrow to fit self-driving car and oncoming huge lorry (and there is no line marking the limit between road and ravine).

- Upon instructions from authority, recognize that the highway is closed due to an accident and, no matter what the driving code says, you actually have to make a U-turn on the highway and follow the crowd. Alternatively, just take that route (yes, the one with the large no-entry sign at the beginning) or that narrow path in the wood (yes, it exists, even if Google Maps isn't aware of it). At the bare minimum, park yourself off the road and let the others move on.

- Verify whether a queue is forming behind you. Listen to the honkers, they may be right. When you are an obstacle to the most part of traffic, moving to the side and letting others pass from time to time is sincerely appreciated.

You could still be running the site and not facilitate and distribute child pornography.

For example always throw a server error AFTER a user entered its credentials. This way you can still track users.
Basically. Better would be nice too. I mainly want better tab handling and the location bar under the tab though.

Last time I looked into this it required half a dozen barely supported plugins though. If anyone knows a good guide?
Small business doesn't get the support it needs from government, in terms of ease of starting & doing business. In places like Singapore you can have a legal firm chartered in an hour. It took a couple of weeks for some friends & I to get an LLC set up (receive the paperwork from the Secretary of State).

I think this is due in part to your Senator/Congressman not really knowing any small businessmen. All the lobbyists he sees are from large corporations. And he doesn't interact with a local dry cleaner, barber, or auto repair, as those services are provided by the capitol complex. If they did, they'd be more aligned with their needs.

From the writing style point of view:

- we wouldn't pace it like that these days. When the story splits, Tolkien tells an entire story from the point of view of some of the characters, and then rewinds time by quite a long way to tell an entire story from some of the other characters. We'd tend to use more changes of PoV, so that all the events progress at the same time. This has the advantages that the climaxes all happen simultaneously, and also allows compare-and-contrast between different plot threads.

- the writing style itself is pretty uneven; there are sections at the beginning which have the same forced-joviality-talking-down-to-children feel that the Hobbit had, but which is quite out of place in the much darker book. It gets better later on, though. (IIRC he only redrafted it once, due to not having a word processor.)

From the worldbuilding point of view:

- despite all the care behind Gollum's characterisation, the bulk of the antagonists get no characterisation whatsoever. Orcs are simple ciphers, portrayed as irredeemably evil; which doesn't fit in Tolkien's cosmology (only Illúvatar, God, can give or take free will). Tolkien was aware this was a problem later on and tried to address it in the Silmarillion, but apparently he was never happy with the solution there. Sauron, of course, famously never appears on stage at all.

- there's a lot of 1950s attitudes, both subtle racism --- he's got a regrettable tendency to use dark skin or deformity as a marker of being evil --- and subtle classism --- and I'm not talking about Sam vs. Frodo here; what I mean is that outside the Shire, the only people we ever meet who matter are aristocracy. Ordinary people exist, because at one point our characters stand on Edoras and look out at the burning farmsteads, but only as comic relief or bit parts. And, of course, there's the famous lack of female characters.

- Sam and Frodo's relationship is very alien to modern eyes: we just don't seem to do that master/servant relationship any more, or if we do, we interpret it as a sexual relationship (hence all the 'Sam will kill him if he tries anything' jokes). Tolkien uses this elsewhere; Saruman/Wormtongue is a perverted example. (There is, BTW, another excellent example of this done right in Kipling's Kim, which you should totally read.)

None of this, BTW, is any reason why it's bad, because not, it's a great book; and the fact that a 60-year old book holds up so well today is a tribute to just how good it is; but it is still very much an artifact of its time, and needs to be remembered as such.

It teaches you to embrace the fact that you are nothing, and to make peace with the impersonal universe. That's one way to ease existential pain.

Buddhism is remarkably compatible with the modern scientific view that the universe has neither purpose nor personality. Once you throw away the anthropocentric Judeo-Christian mindset, you are left with no external, authoritative source of purpose. Many people struggle to find an alternate source of purpose, either within themselves or in something else. This can be very stressful. Buddhism relieves you by teaching you that you don't need to try so hard, you don't even need to "be yourself". It's a strangely attractive proposition.
True, this is one of my worries, but honestly, I don't feel happy knowing that I am underpaid than my market value too. Thanks for the input.
I am with you. It really is not rocket science but let's admit it, many developers suck at negotiating and will get distracted by the free macbook and $5000 bonus and ignore the fact that they could have have gotten a much higher salary :).

Probably because planets help defend you really really well. The gravity well makes it much easier to keep an atmosphere, the atmosphere blocks UV rays and the majority of harmful falling objects, the planet's magnetic field helps block higher energy solar rays.

Plus, if there's a breathable atmosphere on the planet, your habitat isn't limited to the space you can enclose in a bubble.

Looking forward to checking this out. One issue I have run into with homebrew is that due to varying packaging choices as a project grows, I've seen stuff move back and forth from brew core to cask to neither, and the old ones stick around at the outdated version so you have to be careful when you tell people to install the thing (seen this happen with terraform for example, which a month ago when I last checked existed as a year-old version in a cask, a few months old version in core, and the current version wasn't available in either).

It might be cool to also allow some kind of process for marking packages as deprecated and showing a warning or confirmation prompt if you try to install it, for the cases when maintainers start packaging in some different way that can't be supported by homebrew.
In my experiments with noots my technical cognition didn't shoot up like i was hoping.... But my emotional intelligence did. In many cases for me, similar to yours, I realized the smartest thing in many situations for me was simply to keep quiet! It gave me a neutral place where I could validate peoples' emotions or listen without saying dumb things.
I disagree with the aspartame causes cancer nonsense - there is really no evidence for it and it poisons the whole comment.

However, it is spot on that drinking diet soda (or any soda) redefines the concept of sweet. Once I stopped, I was amazed that things like carrots, grapes, and even every day bread (sugar added, at least in the U.S.) are very sweet. Suddenly fruits and vegetables are like candy and actual candy is overwhelming.
Two easy ways to stand out:

1. Brand

If they took this approach it would require a much more concerted marketing strategy.
But I heard that it is a very effective dietary supplement for weight loss... Simply swallow 700-800ml of dihydrogen monoxide before every meal and snack you are going to eat and you are all but guaranteed to lose weight (assuming you have problems with weight in the first place)
