Pretty sure tons of content have been written about all of these topics, and not particularly hard to find.
Does it need any UX innovation? It's for entering text and control characters, what else does it need to do?

I certainly can't think of a time I've ever said "you know what my terminal needs? CSS!" and I have a browser to render webpages.

They also seem to be unclear the difference between a terminal and a shell.
I disagree. WordPress is a dependency of the platform. By your logic a project which requires CakePHP or Laravel should automatically be considered a "hack."
What do you use yours for?
A bad UX for privacy-critical features is worse than nothing. I don't want to be privately talking with someone and worry that it might be public to the world because I checked something wrong.
Ah, I see. I guess I've been unclear. The taste buds in your mouth don't cause the insulin response. There are separate taste buds embedded in the wall of your small intestine that activate the insulin response, and play a role in insulin resistance.

On a somewhat related note, my non-expert opinion is that sugarless gum is probably still better for you than gum with actual sugar in it for reasons relating to oral heath.
The Director of the CIA was still using an AOL account, which is worse than Yahoo, until recently. Let that sink in.

A lot of normal people may still be using Yahoo account for real communications.
You make the mistake that "on a computer" is the only people are lazy or take short cuts or risks for the sake of convenience. Just look at driving behavior when someone's in a rush and floors it when the light turns yellow.

Even with curiosity, the everyday stuff that's cumbersome still feels like a tedious unnecessity. Thinks like LastPass, and ssh private keys, or even 2FA are successful because they remove the tediousness yet still somehow add value in terms of security.
So the ethics of cultured meat are actually interesting. IIRC you still need some cells (stem cells?, not a biologist) to start a 'cultured meat' production and you cannot make these synthetically. As a result, you might scale to something like 1 slaughtered cow producing the amount of meat equal to 10,000 slaughtered cows which somewhat changes the question.
Does RethinkDB not support transactions? I thought it did.
No again. In order to be the "state of the art" in cosmology (as you define it that "concerns itself with the large-scale structures and phenomena") you should know what the "large-scale" actually is. That is what I quoted that these other Greeks actually calculated. The orders of magnitude.

And no, this is also not true: "really it took the invention of the telescope"

It's Tycho Brahe who measured enough:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe

"he was the last of the major naked eye astronomers, working without telescopes for his observations."

I don't understand why people who don't know history try to argue here. In fact, I think I know, you don't have to try to explain me.
Can I also send it to you to bypass HR for another posting with Owlstone Medical? :)
A side effect of Programming Language orientation. Old systems requires programmers to map higher levels to the machin themselves and accept legacy the hard way.

With javascript level, you can play the abstraction game which "can" make learning and prototyping way easier and unleash ideas.

Are you saying you can write a 100% user-space "driver" that allows for `mount`ing into the regular file system? How does that work? Can a non-root user supply the code running to serve /some/path that is visible for any process on the system, even root?
If you're not growing, you're in slow-motion liquidation.
What's Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)?
Section 7.1.3 of the article has a proof that such a counterexample cannot exist.

Of course, this being mathematics, changing the rules can produce a counterexample. A simple way of doing that is by declaring the inside of the shape the outside and vice versa.

I expect one could construct a counterexample around a black hole, too.
And that is the real reason behind all the surveillance we're witnessing.
To justify the market cap, investors are expecting growth. Unprofitable companies only trade at 7 times revenue when buyers (investors) expect them to grow and eventually become profitable. Otherwise you'd be waiting a long time to get your investment back.
In the interests of neutrality, isn't this basically what the Bush administration did as well?
Until Google created AdWords, you could say the same about online search and sem ads too. All frontier markets start small and become big over time.
As a SnapChat user, I don't really notice "ads." There are things like stories (which I am guessing are things that they charge money to people to get placement) and promoted filters and overlays you can put on your pictures. But when I am watching a friend's SnapChats, I am never interrupted by advertisements.

I really wonder what is the amount of revenue that they are generating through advertising. Off the top of my head, my recollection is that 95% of the time I open snapchat I do not really see an advertisement. I don't use the discover section, I almost never look at the "stories" and friends very rarely use promoted filters. I wonder how effective ad buyers are finding the SnapChat advertising platform. This is pretty highly contrasted to my recall of Facebook which I see advertisements nearly 100% of the times I open the app. I am a regular user of both apps.
This looks interesting. Which programming language is this geared towards? (PS: am not a programmer).

There's no way to refresh a tweet in the Android app to load new replies, either. Even if I leave that tweet and come back to it, it often only pulls up locally cached replies.

And the replies are often neither chronological nor threaded in any meaningful way. I know the 140 character limit strongly discourages meaningful discussion, but I'm starting to think they believe that every single tweet should stand alone. That replies, likes, and retweets are nothing more than a metric to judge the quality or interestingness of an individual tweet.
Robots will be stocking shelves before they're in homes. And they'll be picking off of warehouse shelves before they're stocking. They're already moving stuff around in warehouses, like what Kiva is doing.
That's already are problem - power is concentrated in too few people (politicians) that are bought out by special interests.

My direct democracy proposal expands that power to more people. You would have the power to vote on issues you're qualified to vote on rather than be beholden to your jack-of-all-trades representative who isn't the most qualified person to be making every decision.

Slow motion liquidation usually gets better prices than a fire sale.
I just replied to a comment further down the thread. The taste buds in your mouth don't play a role in insulin resistance. There are separate taste buds embedded in the wall of your gut that are responsible.

I'd still recommend chewing gum, but you'd have to weigh the evidence for yourself, cause I'm not a doctor. However I believe the oral health benefits outweigh the potential risks. Acid reflux is also correlated with a lot of really nasty health issues, like esophageal cancer and heart disease. (It's my understanding that the heart disease link may be due to the elevated calcium levels caused by consuming large quantities of antacids) If chewing gum helps control your acid reflux I'd keep chewing gum. I'm actually considering this myself now that you mention it, since I suffer from acid reflux as well.
You (as well as the developer) don't seem to know the difference between a terminal and a shell.
RethinkDB didn't fail because any of those things. As far as we can tell without an actual post mortem, it failed because RethinkDB -- the company -- didn't make enough money.

Going by the public information on their website, the only way the company was making money from its product was via support and training.

The problem with making money only with training and support is that it falls flat when the product and documentation are so well done barely anyone considers these things important enough to spend money on them.

Additionally the website doesn't really provide much information on these services other than a contact form. If you're not already in touch with RethinkDB devs, you're probably more likely to ask a local contractor or specialised training company for help instead of reaching out to RethinkDB.

By all appearances, RethinkDB has been pretty successful as an open source project. It has a strong and active community, it is well represented at meetups, conferences and podcasts, it has 16k stars on GitHub (MongoDB has only 10k, MariaDB and MySQL have only 1k each).

But the company was not able to turn any of those numbers into revenue. Downloads, GitHub stars and Twitter mentions don't pay to keep the lights on. A successful open source project does not equal a successful commercial enterprise.

"RethinkDB operations are never atomic across multiple keys. For this reason, RethinkDB cannot be considered an ACID database."

However, certain operations on a single key, like incrementing a counter, are atomic.
Economic value is a measure of preferences. If I'd pay a dollar to own a widget instead of the status quo, then the economic value of all the processes that got me that widget is $1.

With that model, saying that economic value is "potentially infinite" is equivalent to saying that there will always be a way to improve someone's life.
[pedantic] "UTF-8 space"... UTF-8 code units space is quite limited by single byte - 0...255. You probably meant Unicode Code Points space that, at the moment, is 21-bits number:

The modern view is indeed that there is no preferred reference frame. It's just a matter of choosing a coordinate system.

If you wanted to make a distinction you could say that the laws have a simpler form in a heliocentric coordinate system, but this is only really true if you make certain approximations.

For you to have such a strong opinion on so many topics, you must know the in's and out's of Systems Administration. Would you consider writing tutorials or a blog about best practices, and why we should avoid complex systems built on Node?

For what it's worth, this comment is toxic. I am probably the kind of dev that would get lumped in to the group you're calling out, but I edit my own nginx files, I am interested in being close to the metal, and I'm focused on having strong fundamentals. So why not help out instead of being pessimistic? The eternal september thing is everywhere on the web. Everyone loves to talk about how much better it was 'back then'. It's very easy to look back and say that the past was better. You just strap on your rose tinted glasses and sense of superiority, and excuse yourself from any logical, productive discussion.

What I would like to see from experienced devs like yourself is some help with merging the best of both worlds. When should I be close to the metal? When should I work high up the stack? If you offer some real help, you could save us days or weeks or months, but if you take the easy route and point the finger then we all lose.
You're arguing that "in an FPGA" doesn't make it any more patentable than "in a computer" does? That seems like a reasonable argument.

But it's a big step to get the courts this far. (And, probably, another five years of fighting before this battle's really over.)
Everytime I've tried that I can usually finish the section I'm on, but can't move onto the next one. I've read they used to have an implicit caching behavior, but that hasn't been my experience.
Lol, did you just read some listicle like "10 top anti-vegan arguments" and you are just repeating them? Because these are rehashed arguments that you can easily find convincing counter-arguments for but I can tell you haven't done the research.

> If you value them as the same,

They don't have to be the same value for one to still be valuable.

> a few field mice or rabbits die so a human can eat a tofu sandwich.

This argument is silly. How many of these do you think die from grain production? How many animals in the world are slaughtered every year? Also the ethics are also fundamentally different.

> Side note, if you truly believe carnivorous diets are barbaric, than you'd probably also have to kill all the carnivorous animals

I thought that we as humans accepted the fact that we have something called 'morals' and therefore things like killing and rape are bad. I cannot impose human morals on animals but I can impose human morals on humans.
Even if that were the case, would the prescription be any different? Regardless of how the user fails to behave according to our designs, the designs which included their unrealistic behavior were wrong.
I'm a big fan of the Alexander horned sphere, which is even weirder. The interior is simply connected (like the interior of a sphere) but the exterior isn't.

> They just have to trim down to a profitable and stable level

Assuming such a thing exists. Which it might not; sure, Twitter could stop trying to generate growth and cut a bunch of costs, but there's no guarantee that that wouldn't result in a gradual (or rapid) exit of user time and attention (in general, or just in the advertiser-valued demographics) to other services, as Twitter stopped moving forward while the market kept moving forward.
Interviewing at Google gives him a specific target to motivate his efforts, but the material he is learning will be very useful to interviewing at other places as well.
For all intents and purposes, gitless has an index too. It lets you specify upto hunk-level granularity what you want to include in (and exclude from) each commit.
Agreed - it's what I meant by that third sentence. There are of course reasons to revoke one of a collection of keys, for example natural end-of-life rotation, weak key generation and accidental disclosure.
Then you haven't seen aggressive enough scripts. It's certainly possible using perfectly standard usage of web standards to cause a denial of service attack to most browsers in that way.
The sans has a real italic and not just an oblique. Color me impressed: real italics aren't very common in sanses, and that goes double for FOSS fonts. Very nice.

It's... everyone has heard the phrase "correlation does not imply causation." Of course I understood what you meant. Please do not condescend this much (again, I can't tell if your explanation of why this can be overapplied was meant to sound like it was directed at a five-year-old, or if that's just how you speak.) But just because it can be used incorrectly does not make it an invalid observation, and in the context of your discussion the meaning seemed perfectly clear. Just because a bunch of people on reddit are fond of using a phrase doesn't mean you should respond to a legitimate point by saying "You're just copying that from reddit! I've thrown a wrench into your mindless argument!" It's a well-understood phrase for a reason.

I apologize for dragging this out, and I know it's unproductive, I just found it really baffling to watch someone respond to a standard point with such a high level of totally unwarranted disdain. And then to think any disagreement is because I've never heard the phrase "correlation does not imply causation"?
On the other hand, letting Google host the fonts will allow your users to use the cached font without needing to waste bandwidth and time unnecessarily. Especially if you already use Google Analytics, I'll say, please let Google host the fonts too.
I don't think there needs to be a discussion and central planning over whether there 'needs to be UX innovation'.

It however does make it easier which increases the chances of useful innovation occurring naturally.

Have you ever gotten a popup message box in a web browser before? Pretty much all web browsers support them, and you can't click on any browser UI until you address the prompt.
This is really fantastic. It sent me looking for source materials for the character choices made for each language.

I'm dealing with a media experience in Dakota and Ojibwa right now where we have source material that is spelled/character-ed quite differently than the alphabet provided by Noto in those languages. Given the scale of this project, I assume that some considerable thought went into each language's character set, but it's difficult to know for sure without any sourcing. The git commit logs don't offer up any hints. Anyone familiar with the project, know where I could find this sort of source information?

Should I be referencing something in the Unicode definitions for these languages?

3 Ways to Attract Wealthy Customers to Your Website
If the DBMS's users wouldn't chip in enough money to cover the cost of developing it before the company went under, it seems hard to believe that they'll suddenly decide it's cost effective to pay for having it developed post-failure. If anything, it just implies that they've become so tightly coupled to the product that the DBMS vendor's failure represents a sudden existential crisis.

I think, more important that whether or not the DBMS is open source, just consider how critical the DB is. If you can't live without it, stick with a DB that you can be virtually 100% sure isn't going anywhere soon. Save your experimentation with new products for the small and less-important stuff, and make sure the small stuff doesn't reach some critical mass before the DB vendor does.
This is severely anecdotal: I know a few people who basically did this. They admitted one of their prime motivations for becoming a cop was being able to do things like speed, control others, take authority in situations where they wouldn't normally need it, etc.
>As long as they milk their core product they can do just about anything and look competent. Which allows a horribly dysfunctional leadership to thrive.

Well, some of us like Dynamic Typing. Just because you don't doesn't make it horrendous.

Given, it can be unpleaseant in certain contexts, but Lisp has really good metaprogramming support, so you can add syntax for a runtime type system relatively simply. It's not optimal, and it certaibly isn't the fastest thing, but it works if you want it.

And nowadays, CL (and several of the Schemes) provide more powerful type systems, and sometimes even compile-time typing. All optional, of course.
