What do you mean, "who knows"? Seriously, I have no idea how you can listen to anything Trump says and come away with the idea that he represents positive change.

Granted, most of Trump's output is not even properly formed sentences, so maybe he's doing a malformed data denial-of-service attack on voters' senses?

Interesting. Could you explain that more?
I couldn't help but try to square this article with another article I saw today that said a record number of people are graduating high school. So, this article says that relative to each other people are staying in the same socioeconomic class, which they conclude is bad. But if everyone as a group is doing better, then I think there really is no problem.
I can't actually find any examples of extrajudicial extraordinary rendition originating from the UK. The best I can find is that some of the CIA flights refueled in a UK territory.

I hear you for nano, but what about compared to [graphical mouse-clicky editor of choice] (in non-vim mode)? I know enough of the basic vim commands that I could edit a file if I ever needed to but how much hand effort could it save me vs. kate or VS Code? (though i really prefer notepad++ to both of those) I feel relatively efficient in a good graphical editor but maybe I just don't know any better? Really just give me reasonable multi-selection features and I'm happy.

And in particular, it looks (at a quick check) like the google hosted files are in a very predictable location, so it should be easy to write something to check both that version and the hosted version against each other to monitor for discrepancies.

> I feel like we're headed for disaster on a dozen different concurrent tracks.

It has become obvious to me that the reason for humankind's problems is the fact that we refuse our spiritual nature (i.e. as in "connecting with the other side during deep meditation"). I believe our future suffering which seems more and more obvious will force us to reconnect with our spiritual nature. And when that finally happens, on a societal level, then our way of "thinking" and acting will profoundly change and we will manage to turn around. But not before, I'm afraid.

Edit: Psychedelic substances allow for short-lived breakthroughs on that level, which is probably one of the reasons they were banned by governments from even being researched. And it's also why they are so important.

This is a really long blog post that takes until the very, very end to make its point: that Javascript support must be assumed on the client for the web to move forward (ie. progressive enhancement is dead). It doesn't even clearly state this point, so I'm paraphrasing.

There's some other tangential points here and there, like suggesting to not "to blindly use" it, and how new form factors require new thinking, or whatnot, but these are pretty generic claims that are fairly noncontroversial and usually a given.

Your responses seem to boil down to "but I believe everyone has a moral responsibility to act like an engineer."

When is perfectly fine, and I agree with you. As I've said multiple times.

But realize that, in the US, programmers have no such legal obligation. They also have no formally codified and enforced professional ethical obligation.

Any such obligation is purely within the realm of personal ethics. Particularly obligations to the customer which go beyond or contradict with obligations to management (the latter are at least captured in the form of a contract).

So your moral stance, while admirable, isn't representative of actual enforced social norms among programmers.
You can check people's post history. The tone doesn't seem very PR-company-ey to me, shrug.

Nuclear is greener by most reasonable measures. Wind and solar don't scale (and kill people during installation/maintenance, and in the case of solar require a lot of environmentally-damaging mining); hydro renders larger areas uninhabitable during business-as-usual than nuclear does in disaster scenarios, and leads to many more deaths in proportion to the energy produced.

The Burroughs MCP came with source with users allowed to submit updates to them for redistribution. So, the first, great mainframe for business operated under shared-source license. It became a multi-billion dollar company. They closed it off and pulled all kinds of schemes eventually. Now called Unisys.

I think a combo of paid with source and closed-source extensions can still get lots of success. We're already seeing it with enterprise editions for features that basically only enterprises use. That keeps them from crippling the main, OSS product which costs less. I also envision giving free licenses to people that contribute lots of code, docs, testing, etc. One way is to simply not charge businesses below a certain revenue amount or only to charge a support fee tied to cost of delivering support. As they grow, so does the software house like in the royalty model.

There is a big elephant in the room here:

Most conferences have been converted to strictly money-making entities.

Here is how it works:

- a RFP is published

- you submit

- you get a response: "Unfortunately, your proposal did not get accepted, however, we have a limited number of time slots for sponsors. If you become a silver sponsor..." In other words, you can submit any crap, as long as you provide "sponsorship".

This may or may not apply to DevOps Days, I don't know enough about it.

I second the recommendation for Vim Adventures. The free part is fun, and being forced to work with a subset of features as you acquire more gives you a better feel for when they're appropriate.

I assume the non-free bits continue in suit, although sticker shock prevented my finding out. For someone benefiting beyond entertainment, it's likely worth it. As a long time vim user I had trouble justifying it.
On modern Linux distros every process is running in a cgroup and namespace by default. So these days the main difference between a "container" and a regular process is that regular processes are all jumbled together in the same root namespace, and containers are in separate namespaces.

Yup, i3 is what I'm using. I admit my wm investigation wasn't that thorough, I mostly chose i3 because coworkers use it and I really liked it right off the bat. I also tried xmonad and awesome.

And not that anyone will see this now, but most people in this thread were responding to my "OSX and Windows don't offer powerful window management solutions" specifically in reference to my comment about floating windows. That's just one example of many things OSX/Windows doesn't allow the user to do.

Not to be too dramatic, but i3 has made me more productive, more focused and happier while working. I now fear ending up in an environment where using Linux isn't possible. It's really that good. But really, tiling window managers are that good.

'An incredible failure of leadership': Apple's car project
> It's mostly discredited now

Unjustly so. There is experimental evidence that at least in for some languages and some colors, language affects the ability to distinguish colors.

Here is one example: http://www.pnas.org/content/104/19/7780.short

> English and Russian color terms divide the color spectrum differently. Unlike English, Russian makes an obligatory distinction between lighter blues (“goluboy”) and darker blues (“siniy”). We investigated whether this linguistic difference leads to differences in color discrimination. We tested English and Russian speakers in a speeded color discrimination task using blue stimuli that spanned the siniy/goluboy border. We found that Russian speakers were faster to discriminate two colors when they fell into different linguistic categories in Russian (one siniy and the other goluboy) than when they were from the same linguistic category (both siniy or both goluboy). Moreover, this category advantage was eliminated by a verbal, but not a spatial, dual task. These effects were stronger for difficult discriminations (i.e., when the colors were perceptually close) than for easy discriminations (i.e., when the colors were further apart). English speakers tested on the identical stimuli did not show a category advantage in any of the conditions. These results demonstrate that (i) categories in language affect performance on simple perceptual color tasks and (ii) the effect of language is online (and can be disrupted by verbal interference).
There's a fascinating book on this topic, that is Guy Deutscher: Through the Language Glass.
That's a rather extraordinary statement to make without providing any substantiation!

I had a quick search around to see what I could find, and I did find a recent tweet from Wikileaks showing a clip from some pundit on Fox News called Bob Beckel calling for exactly that: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/763380671796678656/vide...

But a little further checking showed that despite this being tweeted in August this year with a headline and hashtag suggesting a link to the leaked emails, this video is actually from 2010, moreover from my exhaustive five minute search (it wasn't exhaustive really) I couldn't find any evidence of a link to Clinton's campaign, in fact according to Wikipedia the last campaign this strange chap worked on was Walter Mondale's in 1984.
Simple: character limit on Twitter, want to provide context to the statement, and want more exposure to the quote than a link would provide.

"This isn't a moral issue, it's simple economics."

I'm going to modify that a bit to say it's mostly economics but also barrier to entry. Wirth's Oberon etc work was designed to be easy to understand from language to architecture to tools. Students with little experience regularly ported it, redid it, and so on. I've seen similar in FOSS projects well-designed for easy understanding. I think many of these popular projects were not designed that way to the point the real and incidental (i.e. implementation) complexity is to high for most to justify time in. I know it is for me for several, major projects.

So, we need to remember that. More FOSS being designed for contributors as much as users might increase number of contributions.
Realistically, you will never get a majority of US legislators to agree that giving US legislators money is a bad idea. Unsurprisingly, when Congress moves to increase the salary of Congress, the bill tends to pass with flying colors. ;)

Therefore, your best bet is to get regulations against Google by electing people paid by someone else, then later get regulations against that someone else by electing people paid by someone entirely different. It's a juggling act of corruption!

There are some players in this space already, and I don't think it would be a smart play for Tesla to enter it.

Motorcycle manufacturing is a ~$4.4bn industry, and there were about as many Toyota Camrys sold in 2015 as there were on-highway motorcycles, so the market opportunity there is very limited. Motorcyclists as a demographic tend to be conservative in their preferences (for example, see the debate over ABS, Harley Davidson), as well as very cost-sensitive. The machines themselves are very sensitive to weight, and even the best batteries can't compete with gasoline for energy density which either means very short range (see Zero's offerings) or very heavy bikes (see the late Mission Motorcycles' 550lb R). Finally, there are very few engineering synergies between motorcycles and cars so cost savings by parts reuse is negligible.

Tesla's historical model of starting with a premium offering wouldn't work because even the best LiIon motorcycle couldn't compete with a petrol-powered competitor in any objective measure except for environmental friendliness... which is insufficiently compelling to the typical rider to open the market.

Motorcycles are very cool, and I'm an avid long-time rider, but e-bikes are necessarily a niche of a niche. Tesla is looking for hockey-stick growth over the medium term.

Edit: forgot to add that US automobile manufacturing output was ~$61bn in 2015.

Short explanation:
Qubits encode information needed for quantum computers. Noise from the environment can destroy that information. By introducing a driving field to the qubit they made the qubit+driving field the new qubit ("dressed" qubit) and it was more robust to noise.

It also gives some different levers to change the information (namely, the driving field).

That's not what I meant. How do you associate the original idea with the actual product being sold on Alibaba/express? Vendors could just create alternate listings with a slightly different title for what is actually the same product and avoid paying the 1-3%. Obviously they might miss out on some brand recognition, but on razor thin margins it would probably be worth it. Enforcement would require someone actively looking at the listings, or depend on the "idea holder" filing complaints against violators.

He's in sanctuary, in part, because of fear of extradition to the US. So yeah, he does have a stake.

If Clinton wins she has no motivation to stop an extradition, since she figures in WL and other leaks.

If Trump wins, and Assange/WL is seen to have implicitly supported him, there is a hope for Assange that President Trump could prohibit his DoJ from extraditing, and his DoD from rendering. Not from gratitude, but because Trump is vindictive and that would be a way to stick it to ... to ... The Global Media/Banking/Government/NotWhite Conspiracy.

I'm kind of amazed that WL or someone else hasn't hacked and released Trump data. Do they just not use computers?
