"There aren’t enough young people coming into the workforce who really want to work in warehouses."

Translation: We don't pay enough.

If there was a economic shortage then they can simply increase the salary. This will result in a higher supply of workers.
How much more flapping there needs to be? Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Salt, Vagrant, Docker, CoreOS, runC, Kubernetes, OpenStack, the list goes on and on and on. People are going way, waaayyy out of their way just so they wouldn't learn shell programmimg and how to build all this automation with OS packages. Is learning N amounts of discrete orchestration really easier and simpler than writing shell scripts and encapsulating them in OS packaging? Seriously?!?

Enough with the flapping and discrete solutions already!!!
Impressive and very detailed work. Thank you
Google hired away some key developers, yes.

Chrome was insurance for Google. Even with IE's monopoly broken, their search engine could become under threat if someone else outbid them for Firefox's default search. With Chrome having significant marketshare, this is no longer a worry.

It's worth investigating how much money Google lost because Firefox switched to Yahoo, just in the USA, and even accounting for the people that switched back. The number is astoundingly high.
For the same reason Facebook Messenger is not. Integration with bots and third party apps.
Are you thinking of client-to-server federation? Google didn't cancel support for that (and supports it to this day: I still use pidgin here and there to connect to GChat). That's not what this conversation is about: Google's cancellation of server-to-server federation. Facebook definitely didn't support that at the time that Google cancelled it, and to my recollection, never did (though I may be wrong).

I personally assign a premium value to hand-crafted items. I wonder if others do too, which would explain why software and software jobs can be so highly valued - everyone knows there's a craft involved in making it.

Likewise, items that are heavily processed or created via automation have values diminishing to zero (for me). I can't eat at Taco Bell anymore so it has a value of zero for me even though I used to love the taste of their food. Taco Bell is so full of chemicals and the quality of their components have dropped below a level my GI can tolerate so I had to swear them off.

If a robot can harvest, pack, pick, transport, cook, clean, and construct tirelessly and safely, I think we should give those jobs to the robot. People will come to know that the craft has gone from those work products, and I would expect that those non-crafted items should diminish in value as we'd only be paying for components/consumables and the design. Everyone's buying power will increase.

I say let it happen, it's inhumane to have work be dangerous or drudgerous anyways.

And it seems to me we shouldn't be looking to Trump for answers to big existential questions like "what will all the workers do with themselves?" That's the makings of comedy gold!

Just let people plan out their own lives and organize collectively where they must in order to take care of themselves. Pleading with government to save us only leads to more wasteful power grabs and taxes and spending which just exacerbates our problems.

A vacuous statement is a statement about 0 things. So, ironically, you're saying that Linux has no users.
On the other hand, sitting in a chair all day could be construed as physically insulting. Two counters:

1) There's no reason exercise by nature has to be boring or free of intellect. Physics greatly applies to freestyle snowboarding, for instance, and the adrenaline is top-shelf. Not to mention the scenery and vitamin D! Gymnastic and weightlifting activities in general encourage a practical understanding of leverage, torque, moment arms, etc.

2) Even without choosing exciting sports and applying your scientific knowledge to them, why not walk on a treadmill while you work, or sit on a recumbent bike as you watch that 3rd convolutional neural net video? It's an easy way to up your circulation while taking in knowledge and alleviates boredom.
I've struggled with falling asleep over the years. At first I couldn't cope with it at all and was mortified before bedtime each night. But nowadays sleep comes easily. I've noticed that:

- Whenever I'm in a relationship and sleep together with someone I have no sleeping issues at all.

- Having the pill Stilnoct prescribed helps immensely. I don't take them often. But just being aware that I have them reduces the stress around falling asleep.

- If I feel that it's one of those nights when I can't fall asleep I just treat it as any other sickness. I email my colleagues telling them that I'm working from home the next day and turn off my morning alarm.

- Journaling. Write down everything that has happened to you during the day before you go to bed. A lot of timea I can't fall asleep because my mind is obsessing/processing recent events. Spend 10 minutes to write them down. It's like running a database drop script.

- Get a spike mat. It'll be uncomfortable in the beginning but you'll slowly get used to lying on it. This has worked wonders for my friend and I was thinking of getting one, but that was before my sleep problems just disappeared.

As far as I know Google didn't cancel server to server federation, but they refused to support encryption for it, and it's as good as cancelled, because most servers made it mandatory at some point. That's what caused all my contacts who use Google to disappear. Very annoying, and it's completely Google's fault. Anyway, the reason they left it to rot is because they abandoned XMPP for "greener pa$tures".
They probably manually inlined a line like

int num2 = _linqitems[i];

from the decompiled output. I'm fairly certain that if the transformation wouldn't result in compiling code, the compiler would refuse to compile it, resulting in no assembly to decompile. They also noted somewhere to have run the System.Linq tests and only one edge case involving Min/Max and NaN failed. Tests likely wouldn't run either if the code didn't compile.

- Unit testing: Provide every test case possible

Even if your program only takes a 32 bit integer as an input you'd have to provide 4294967296 test cases. Most programs' inputs are a bit larger than that.

- Pure Functions: Use small methods that cannot error and always return sane values

"cannot error" is exactly what formal verification is about. Pureness doesn't prove correctness.

- Fuzzing Testing: To find if the implementation is actually correct or if it is correct by chance

Fuzz testing is good for finding buffer overflows and such, and those bugs can be ruled out even without formal verification methods (i.e. Rust). Otherwise you'd need to specify every test output possible anyway, and you're back to point 1.
It is a bit confusing that you have unit selection (for temperature and wind speed) in top-right corner, and then separate for map. I thought it is broken before I noticed the other switch.
JARR (Just Another RSS Reader) – “Public Profile” and “popular” Pages Available
There are many downsides when you don't control the standard. Microsoft is not in the meetings when Google PMs decide the roadmap nor will they have any clout in directing its future or adding its own features. It's merely a consumer.

The main thing about AMP is that it gives consent to the search engines which is why Microsoft is happy to use it. The consent allows search engines to display content without directing users to the publisher platform. And therein lies the rub.
If the 30mg was not MR ('modified release', essentially this will release half right away, then the other half over the next few hours; I'm not sure there is 'MR' Adderall in every country or even if it's officially called 'MR' at all), then 30mg is a very high dose, even for someone as heavy as yourself. 20mg MR or 10mg 'straight up' is 'moderate' and will be noticeable by most people.

All true, but the example is a demo that doesn't do anything useful, and not typical code.

Just because their search results are a bit better (read: personalised) than duckduckgo/etc. ? I sometimes really understand the need for russian/chinese firewalls. Even Canada (reminder: member of the 5 eyes) refuses to send their country-internal internet traffic through the USA even it would be cheaper and faster at the same time. It's forbidden by law.

At the end, you need to trade something because one person alone can't get everything, and trust between peers is essential. And money made that trust easy, don't trust people, trust that they want the money :)
In my eyes, you trade away far more than they give you.

Chrome is one of the most web standard compliant browsers out there

It helps if you're the one making the standards. Much of the current web standardization effort is just documenting what Chrome does and what particular bugs Blink has.

> If firefox doesn't support -webkit prefix, the developers are forced to consider the compatibility issues

Evidence shows that they don't, and that developers are absolutely not going back and fixing code they shipped years ago, so all the principled stance nets firefox is "firefox breaks <outlook mobile>, it works just fine in chrome, screw that piece of shit firefox".

There will be just as many or more people using technology to solve problems, having access to a large number of methods.

But programming for user interfaces, networking and databases might not be the bread and butter of the future computer engineer, just like coding in assembly is rarely used today, even though all programs are eventually compiled into it.

We'll move higher on the abstraction stack. That will make programming both simpler and more complex, as C++ made programming both easier than assembly, and much more complicated, when you consider OOP.

I don't feel like quoting Tolkien is going to win anyone arguments.

We should keep in mind that Gollum is for a short time reformed before he tries to lure Frodo and Sam to their deaths so that he can have a golden ring...

Susy is nice, but note that it's just a very fancy CSS layout calculator. Bootstrap, Foundation, and SemanticUI are full-fledged frontend frameworks. They're incomparable.
"Safecurves exists because all the standard curves appear to be backdoored. Curve25519 is not a standard curve.

This was your original stanza that I objected to:

"The problems are all in establishing keys. For that there are currently only two choices in use. ecdh. which all the standard curves appear to be backdoored. and rsa, which the russians reckon they have broken."

You were insinuating that basically there's no safe way to establish secrets (using some form of ecdh). While there absolutely is. Here's the list of open source packages using (safe) Curve25519 :

Yes, I'm doing basically the same (define constant a as literal type, then use "typeof" operator to define action type, and then create alias for all Actions using union type).

That's one of the reasons why I miss possibility to tell what is the type of the object that function returns. So I could do something like this (hypothetical syntax)

const INCREMENT: "increment" = "increment";
const DECREMENT: "decrement" = "decrement";

function increment(inc: number) {
return {
type: INCREMENT,
inc
};
}

function decrement(dec: number) {
return {
type: DECREMENT,
dec
};
}

type Actions =
returntypeof increment
| returntypeof decrement;

So I won't need to write action type when I have action creator method.
I hope that in future Typescript devs will add some feature to allow this kind of pattern.
If there is one think I'd trust about Google is them to be serious about security vulnerability.

Completely agree. I prefer to run at night, because running before work means I have some kind of timeline that has to occasionally be accounted for, like another thread running.

So after work is done, I love going on some kind of cardio adventure for 30-60 minutes. Running is my favorite but biking also works.

When I get home, all steam is blown off, and I manage to fall asleep in most cases.

Naturally, I am not really a great sleeper. Cardio helps a lot.

The terrible truth is that some web devs don't give a shit about web standards. They just want the site to look good on their iMac with Safari. So now we have huge webkit emulation layers in all major browser...
Haha! How is category theory "metaphysical"?

Your value judgments in this case actually seem dogmatic and nonsensical... which makes sense if it's derived from Ayn Rand.
Microsoft wants to kill "old" hardware and force you to use only the one they've certified, so they don't have to support 2 years old CPU and GPU, backport changes to between Windows 7 and botnet10. If they can force hardware manufacturers to lock hardware to only certain software, and apparently they can, they won't need to port drivers back to archaic to Windows 7 or 8. You will be forced to use 10.

AFAIK Android 6.0 and up lets you 'Format SD as internal storage' and from then on it's well, internal storage. I remember messing around with it on my Nexus Player awhile ago. In that particular case though, it did NOT handle unexpected power-downs at all well. I suspect it was a bug with remounting the encrypted filesystem on the card when booted back up next (where a Linux box would normally run fsck on it and then remount). I ended up doing some digging and filing a bug but never really getting motivated enough to stick with it.

FYI at least Samsung seem to be realizing their mistake as their latest models have the microSD card slot again after having abandoned it for some time, so it does seem like it's back.

I also have to concur with what others have said here - I've done my fair share of Raspberry Pi and ODROID-XU4 system image tinkering and come to the conclusion that microSD cards suck big time as a general purpose read/write storage device. I wouldn't feel comfortable having my phone's internal storage running off one actually.

Now if phones came with eMMC slots.... :)

It is bad idea to rely on new features anyway. How will your website work in a 5-year-old browser?
In my opinion, the lesson is that microkernels are too small (e.g. lacking per-user/group security schemes), and monolithic kernels are too big.
The problem is that it was tested and working in chrome, until they decided to remove that feature.
