Curious, what do you know? Did you mean controversial in western media? In that case, yes, I agree.

The local media (and people) see this as something to be proud of, there is not much debate about the money being useful elsewhere.

I don't think you can draw any conclusions about Apple's attitude toward dogfooding. I'm sure Swift is being heavily dogfooded there, they were just telling you that it hadn't reached the point where it could be used in the project they had in mind for you (especially if it's back end, which seems to be the case since your project was in Java).
But computing machines aren't unpredictable. They are very predictable. They appear to pull complex structure out of the aether.

Perhaps the interesting thing is that the set of n-bit programs expands to only 2^n possible outputs. Why are some finite number of infinite-length outputs accessible, but not others? Why does nature favor those sequences?
>Not with the anti-skeuomorphism tirade however. That is pure propaganda.

Maybe let's put it this way: a lot of it is misguided and/or throwing the baby with the bathwater.

But it does have some merit in some cases: when the skeuomorphic design dictates the use according to non-existing in the digital world constrains.

For example the dreadful DVD player apps of yore, that mimicked physical DVD players, making us push the same inconvenient buttons we hated on the physical devices too, but without any reason like the physical objects had.
I have a similar problem with google.

I lost access to my original gmail. If anybody took a 10 second overview they would see that I am the original owner but I am forced to sit back while an automated form response + an automated email response + an entire team of engineers + support forums + forum moderators + all the actual info I do still have on the account (which is accurate) and its still not enough to get my account back.
No the payment provider doesn't trust you; you gave them your identity and perhaps more as collateral. My point was that even if one wants to use a decentralized system we do not need the security that bitcoin's mining provides because for small amount we have other networks.

>> The problem with taxing the oil coming out of the ground is the incredibly complex nature of an unstable global market...

Just put a fixed tax per barrel, or per carbon atom, or whatever. The tax shouldn't depend on the price paid for the oil. Just put $1 for every barrel pumped in the US, and every barrel imported and presto - $19M per day of tax revenue ($7B per year) without a major impact to the consumer, and without creating that new market for credits and the associated politics. Do the equivalent for coal and gas too - you know all the carbon sources. People act like passing on a price increase is going to hurt their business, but when everyone has to do it that's not true.

Hi there! I work on Exponent.

We intentionally chose to not let users drop down to native -- the idea of having an interpreted language that sits on top of a native runtime on multiple platforms is not a new one, and it allows for so many benefits that you lose out on if developers can add arbitrary compiled code with direct access to system APIs.

Additionally, there is a significant value-add of using Exponent in terms of upgrades. As great as React Native is, it also moves extremely fast and it can be difficult to keep up with new releases -- a change in React Native might cause several of your native dependencies to break, and you'll need to fork those libraries and fix them if the maintainer isn't keeping on the same schedule as you. Updates with Exponent are as simple as updating JavaScript, which has much less churn and breaking changes than the native side (the React API itself is very mature, the APIs for specific native components may change).

Another nice advantage of this is that you can work on an iOS app from Windows and Linux, because you don't need to compile your app with Xcode (we handle builds for you when you want to ship to the app store, before that you can just use the Exponent client).

We ship with a bunch of APIs out of the box and are constantly improving them and adding more. We have analytics tools like Amplitude and Segment built in, Maps, Facebook login (working on Google Login), and more: https://docs.getexponent.com/versions/latest/index.html

React Native is still very early, though, and Exponent is just a small team of seven, so we understand that we can't possibly expose every API that developers working with the platform might want. So, we are working on a way for developers to be able to still take advantage of the Exponent toolchain and layer on native code. I've written up our approach in more detail here: https://blog.getexponent.com/answered-on-slack-ejecting-from...
If it's at all possible, try and organise your tasks so you can be offline / away from distractions when you're needing to get things done.

eg turn off your phone, ensure your computer is set for no notifications, etc.

Try to have the absolute minimal amount of device oriented / external things grabbing your attention.

If you're constantly really, really unfocused at present - which it sounds like - this can take a few days to get right.

In the meantime - until you adjust - you'll probably feel really bored without the external stimulus. If you can get through that, you're set. :)

What large factors outweigh calorie content? There are plenty of dietary restrictions for things like Crohn's and diabetes, but they're easily worked around without changing overall calorie consumption. Hypothyroidism and other metabolic diseases can't cause weight gain without an overabundance of calories consumed. The fact that someone's BMR lowers because of them is not a bigger factor than how much calories a person consumes.

.NET was multi-language and C# was an open standard; .NET itself was not multi-platform. I was there at the start. I was a beta tester for the first Visual Studio.NET. The reason Mono exists is because C# is an open standard and Miguel and Xamian (or whatever they were calling themselves then) were able to create .NET from the ground up, called Mono.

I'll dive into your architecture more later tonight, but I'm not clear on why Exponent has to handle exposing specific APIs? Couldn't it work in the same way that React Native doesn't expose specific APIs?
To "flash" the previous disk (terribly amusing choice of anachronistic terms there) you need a working disk drive to drive the disk with. (You also need a disk controller, but you could probably cobble one together out of an Arduino and some TTL shift registers or something. Surely Ken could.) It turned out that their disk drive wasn't working reliably, so that would have been tricky.
They had that test jig in the previous video that could drive the disk and read it (and i think write it). That would have allowed them to do so, i would think, regardless of how slow it might have been.

It does depend on the product.

I have a KitchenAid blender and a KitchenAid stand mixer that I've had to repair. In both cases, the part was purchased for under $10 online and repair only took a few minutes. The alternative was buying a new $300 or $100+ product.

Sure, I did the repair myself, but a local KitchenAid service center (yes, they exist!) would probably have done the job even faster.

It boils down to cost/benefit. Would I have done the same thing with a $30 mixer? Not worth it; simpler to buy a replacement, but in this case, the products are built to last (both broken parts were "sacrificial" and designed to fail before something more expensive failed).
Especially with all the hype around containers, C# is left in the cold. The deployment story would have to be as good on Linux for many to even consider production services

Regardless of their intended purpose according to the SO FAQ, the comments in Stackoverflow are often the most interesting part of a question or answer. They do more than coordinate improvement to the attached question/answer. The comments often provide valuable context, point to other resources, and can offer some opinion.

I agree that a comment consisting of nothing more than "thank you" isn't particularly helpful, but a "thank you" + some twist or application tip is interesting and valuable. Sadly, some SO-cops just see the words "thank you", ignore the rest of comment and then immediately recite the rules and/or delete the comment.

As for SO communicating the difference, I think they already do. Their problem is that people like me _deliberately_ ignore "the rules" and post whatever we think is appropriate-- the mods just can't keep up.
"Inherited" can mean "genetic" or some other method of parent-child transmission (like learning)

"Environmental" can include "parenting", but in this case the distinction is between "got it somehow from autistic-leaning parents" vs got from something else.

Also, the claim that autism might be somehow learned from parents is extraordinary and not widely claimed or supported by existing evidence. It was a discredited theory of the past though, that "cold" parenting created austism.

In general, its better to bake accessibility in to a thing than to have a separate accessible version. If the gauge is the component for presenting this information, then it should present the information to all users.

My first thought is for the data to be in the HTML as a input type="range," with the readonly attribute and the value updated as needed by JavaScript. An additional ARIA live region attribute to offer guidance on when (or if) changes to the value should be announced would help. The canvas object could either get the range and current value from the input element or whatever JavaScript updates the input value also updates the canvas gauge. As someone else suggested though, SVG is probably a better choice than canvas.

I agree with you here. I used to believe that all the appliances are not fixable due to all the comments people make like "they are not like they were 30 years ago".

In reality when I opened up some of my appliances for DIY repair I found them to be incredibly simple and easy to repair after some youtube videos. I am sure there are some examples where an appliance is not fixable but all the appliances I have owned in my life have been.

In a child with autism, pain becomes debilitating because they can't communicate or cope with pain well. That doesn't mean an allergy or intolerance causes autism, however.

They will, because ultimately their new OS for developers is Azure. They do push you towards that but it is actually a good cloud system. Microsoft has moved lock-in further up to the cloud (just like everyone else AWS, Google) and the tools are so nice once visual studio is truly cross platform (not just vs code -- though nice competition to sublime/atom/etc) then a tool lockin.
Well there is the desire for the consumer to keep an item they know works (ie, a good-fitting pair of jeans or shoes).

I think the incentives here will simply make that edge-case more viable.

>> Why wouldn't the tax on fuel be a barrier to competition too, under your reasoning? To grow, the smaller airline would need more fuel, and so would be paying more.

Under the proposal, nobody pays anything if they maintain their current emissions. But if a small airline grows and takes market share from a big one, the small one will have to buy credits and the big one will be able to sell credits. The little guy in effect pays the big guy for taking his market share.

If you tax the fuel directly, everyone gets a cost increase right away which they should pass on to their customers. But it doesn't have adverse effects on the free market like the credit system does. You fly more planes, you'll pay more taxes but in proportion to your new revenue so it doesn't really matter.

Let's assume you found a serious bug in production. Probably one of the recently landed feature branches contains the offending change. If you rebase feature branches into master as a single squashed commit, things are straightforward: you run a git bisect HEAD $LAST_KNOWN_GOOD and then you might revert the offending commit and re-deploy before you dig into the problem deeper and fix the bug.

If you have a normal merge based workflow, your bisect will likely require some babysitting because git doesn't offer an easy way to just bisect your merge commits into master. Firstly of course there will also be many more commits to consider, most of which you don't really care about at this point and which will slow down the bisect. More importantly some of the intermediate commits from the feature branches will almost certainly be broken, because typically not every single commit even goes through CI. You can work around that by hacking something up to ignore these commits but it's probably gonna be a pain.

Once you found the problematic feature you want to back out you then will spend half an hour googling how to revert merge commits.

Of course, there are advantages to having the "intermediate" commits available and if git bisect were better designed the experience with merge branches should be strictly better, but in practice it's enough of a pain that people who semantically prefer merges opt for a rebase-based workflow.

Lisp is a language family. It'd be more like "F#: ML beyond SML" or something.
All we need to do is require manufacturers to be required to keep a warranty on their products as long as the best performing/longest lasting product in it's class.

For example, if you have a radio that only lasts 1 year, but a competitor created a radio that lasts 30 years, you'll need to cover the full cost of shipping, repairs, and reimbursement for the trouble for that long.

It will incentivize good work due to obvious desires not to cover the warranty that long. Of course it would need to be fine-tuned, but the idea is to internalize the costs manufacturers try to externalize.

Alternately, maybe there should simply be a system where industries self-regulate, i.e., with competitive incentives, to record the durability and life expectancy of their products.

If, e.g., it was easily shown that a MacBook Pro lasts around 8+ years where a comparable PC laptop will need replacing after only 3-4 years, the market will take care of the rest. The problem is really one that information is not sufficient to allow the market to function properly and force manufacturers to internalize the shitty products they try to externalize the real cost of onto their consumer.
