This and the weaknesses of AsyncTask are the reason why RxJava has been adopted so quickly on the Android side. Event buses are dead or dying.

With that said, Rx is still a moving target and it seems to attract a proliferation of redundant, but slightly different, operators that scare away newbies. Observables, schedulers, and map/flatMap/filter are immensely useful to any old school Android developer.

Posts like this play directly into Trump's hands. The entire Trump ideology is based on a belief that "real Americans" are being oppressed by a sinister "global elite". Demanding that Trump supporters be fired tells everyone that the "elites" are a) scared of Trump, b) can't win through arguments and have to resort to intimidation, and c) are a powerful, dangerous group which is hostile to average people, who need someone to protect them from this sinister force. Which is all, of course, exactly what Donald Trump wants them to believe.

Daily newspapers have endorsed Clinton by a margin of 147 to 2. It should be obvious, over a year after the Trump campaign started, that anyone voting for Trump isn't going to be dissuaded by yet another article calling him racist. Indeed, I think many Trump supporters back him because of all the articles calling him racist. "They" must be scared of Trump (the logic goes), or else "they" wouldn't spend so much effort attacking him, so Trump must be the only "truly independent" candidate who will "fight the system".

If you don't believe me, look at eg. this comment on /r/The_Donald, which was voted up to #1 on a recent Peter Thiel article:

"True story. I once hung out with a group of lesbians (most my friends are male), and when they found out I didn't agree with them politically, they told me they were taking away my dyke card. Thankfully there are a LOT of gays who give no fucks about the 'lgbtqjseflelkf community', and just live their lives like anyone else. This article is nothing more than typical democrat tactics. 'YOU'RE NOT A REAL <insert minority> UNLESS YOU DO WHAT WE SAY.' REMEMBER IF TRUMP WEREN'T A REAL THREAT, THEY WOULDN'T BE THIS DESPERATE." (emphasis in original)

The same tactics have been used against Trump over and over and over, for more than a year now, and his support is still pretty much where it was during the summer. Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over and over, and expecting different results.
Isn't Google in charge of Android? Seems like they could fix the button-hiding there instead of adding an HTML workaround for every AMQP website.
This looks more than a bit suspicious to me. Guy comes up with product idea, but before he can get it to market he's beaten by copycats in China. That's one half of the story.
Yet why has he failed his backers over and over again? Take a look at the comments. There are hundreds of comments going back 5 months demanding refunds, calling him a liar, fraud, etc. His original delivery date was supposed to be 5 months ago. He failed to meet that, and has failed to update his backers, and has said "no refunds" on top of it all.
Frankly this reeks of scam to me. Nothing about the copycat situation should affect his obligations to his backers who all apparently paid $50 for a device being sold for $10 right now. There is no excuse that explains him failing to deliver for the past 5 months.
I would not be surprised if he's trying to scam his backers and is involved with one of the copycats himself.

The member list is amazingly small. The only well-known names and the only "platinum" names are IBM and Samsung, personally I never heard of any of the rest of the members before. I say "amazingly" for the amount of attention this gets (I first saw it on reddit and a number of other websites). I would expect to see at least Google and Microsoft and possibly Mozilla on there, and whoever represents node.js (the foundation itself, or someone).

The way this usually works AFAIK is that you try to get as much "buy-in" from as many important parties as possible before making the first big public announcement. It seems that in this case that didn't quite work out, and they instead hope to let the announcement itself be what starts the ball rolling to get more members on board.

I don't see how WebPlatform was about standardizing. The standards bodies already exist: W3C (with its various WGs), WHAT WG, TC39. The main goal of WebPlatform was to provide a consistent documentation for all standard web technologies -- which largely relied on volunteer work and competed with existing solutions like the Mozilla Developer Network (despite Mozilla supporting the project).

I don't see the JS Foundation being even remotely related to this. The JS Foundation is pretty much just a small Apache Foundation for JS projects. And it's not new: it's mostly a rebranding of the jQuery Foundation which has existed for years.

It's also decidedly not the "JavaScript Foundation". They don't have the trademark for JavaScript (I think technically Oracle still holds the JavaScript trademark with Mozilla having an unrestricted license to use it). It isn't affiliated with TC39 or any standards body and it doesn't steer the development of the language.

IMO the name is unfortunate unless they extend the scope beyond "we support a couple of open source JS projects".

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. I don't care enough about US politics to know for sure or assume that you're assertions are correct.

Anyways, the point was not what Trump does, it's almost irrelevant.

Relevant is that one assumed that someone who supported Trump held equal beliefs, which is probably very easy to be shown untrue.

It's a very disgusting and toxic attitude and a very unhealthy world view to hold.
Yes, but they updated it in a fashion to downplay potential misuse of the JVF in Clinton's favor.

Edit: for context "We were able to keep him from including more on the JVF, it has a mention in there, but between us and a conversation he had with Marc Elias he finally backed off from focusing too much on that."
And that's the point: quality. Altavista was a good search engine at it's time and now it's just memories. Because a "better" search engine appeared, giving results that were more useful.

> Usually because of some misguided desire to shelter them and keep them safe.

The first computers I used (Amigas) ran off floppy disks. Whenever we bought new software, we'd use copies of the disks and keep the originals stored away.

This had the effect of making everything safe; even accidentally formatting an OS disk was no problem, since it was just a copy and most things didn't need it to boot anyway.

When I was about 8 we got a hard drive, which made life much more convenient (e.g. the ability to install games, rather than swapping floppies around, easily finding saved data compared to trawling through umpteen disk boxes, etc.) but also introduced some danger: changes (including mistakes) would persist across reboots, the HD didn't just contain copies of stuff (we, like most people, didn't have backups), and the impact of something like data loss was expanded to include everything we have (including other people's stuff), rather than just the particular floppies in the drives.

I imagine those introduced to computers between, say, the mid 90s to ~2010, would be under more pressure to be conservative, as their mistakes might have a real impact on things like their parent's budgeting spreadsheets, etc. Also, a bit tangentially, I feel that Windows and Linux present more opportunities for mistakes compared to AmigaOS: they spread important files around various parts of the filesystem, and there's a quite tight coupling between the OS and third-party applications. My Amiga HDs all have a standalone Workbench partition for booting, an Applications partition with each program in its own drawer, etc. which limited the scope of any of my experimenting; I remember trying to set up Windows in a similar way, and find that whilst all installers give the option of installing to a user-chosen directory, many programs don't actually work if they're not in the default "C:\Program Files" :(

This is where I think initiatives like the RaspberryPi really shine: they're inexpensive, standalone machines, so the impact of any mistakes is very low. Accidentally formatted the drive? Your parent's work documents are safely stored on a different machine. Whilst you can't get back to a clean slate by rebooting, at least SD cards are easy to pull out and make backups of.
I want to Android as an example to prove otherwise.

While yes, you can install CyanogenMod (without Google Play Services), or others along those lines that remove the "Google" out of Android, it's true value (for most common users) is Google Play Services.

While you can say that you can get apps from apkmirror or F Droid, most apps still won't work without Play Services (case & point - Snapchat)

my entire point being - yes, it's very easy to have alternatives (and their importance can't be ignored), Google services (be it Play, or Gmail or others) are what people are looking for.

> If I earn money, should I be able to spend it how I like?

You already can't spend it to buy grenades, chemical weapons, illegal drugs, etc. You should not be able to spend it to influence elections either. I just explained why.

It's not 'fair', sure. But a lot of things aren't fair thanks to stupid people being stupid. Most recreational drugs are outlawed to protect the idiots that can't handle it. (Well, that's the narrative anyway. We'll sidestep the racial undertones, benefits to big pharma, etc.) Because otherwise, those idiots can go on to do the rest of us great harm. There are a lot of stupid people who are swayed by bullshit political attack ads (said attacks are deplorable from both sides), so we need some way to minimize that damage. Campaign contribution laws were not a perfect solution, but at least a stopgap measure. Now the floodgates are wide open.

> If we were to take down Citizens United, how would you deal with media outlets like Fox or WaPo?

They operated long before Citizens United came down. They concern me as well, as does MSNBC, RT, Al Jazeera, etc.

It's probably not possible to get fully unbiased news, but we've definitely gotten way worse in recent years on partisanship in news. And regardless of which party you support, you have to agree that the divide between us is becoming increasingly toxic and dangerous. The media is in large part to blame for stirring that up for their ratings.

Of course, even without news, the internet and social media are a big problem now too. Everyone simply follows like-minded people, blocks those they disagree with, and live in echo chambers to reinforce and polarize people even more. It's ... really starting to get very dangerous :/

> what they do isn't classified as campaign support, even though it should.

Agreed. Not that it'd matter anymore :(
To me, these attitudes (and their general acceptance + support) are just as worrying as Donald's own attitudes and supporters.

One of the strangest things about human nature--at least that I've seen--is that when we vehemently resist something we detest we often produce its mirror image.

It's honestly extremely frightening to think that making a political donation to a major-party candidate you support could cost you your livelihood in this country. Those are not the principles America was founded on. (It's not even like McCarthyism anymore where they were persecuting a small minority party. We want to blacklist people for being __Republican__? Really?)

This is exactly how Democracy becomes eroded and one party systems emerge. And the fact that more people don't see that is quite chilling.

What's that old American saying? Something like: "I disagree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." That's the America I grew up in. What happened to it?

Hi, Jason
Roguelikes too, but there it seems to work fine. The corridors by themselves aren't that interesting, but combined with the chance of encountering monsters that can be weak or life-threatening, and loot that can be either junk or something truly spectacular that you don't find every game, that's what makes it interesting. The unique environment combines with the chance of something truly memorable. But if there are Holy Avengers all over the place, they become less interesting.

So I suppose NMS would work better if most planets have either no life, only sea life, or only really tiny life. That makes the occasional encounter with large animals a lot more memorable.

And this is why I simply cannot understand this. Educated people from countries which I associate with a strong democracy are asking, no, demanding political discrimination. This is illegal in any civilized country and for obvious reasons. And they do it in the name of progress too!

I must control my impulse of getting angry and calling names, but the fact is you are ignorant spoiled children who take your freedom for granted and would trade it for simple feelings of holier than though.

I've traditionally associated more with Republicans than Democrats. Like many others around here, I'm fiscally conservative but socially liberal. The Republican party's stance on social issues, especially marriage equality and lack of tolerance in general, has been chronically infuriating to me. I believe Thiel was the first openly gay convention speaker in the history of the Republican party. He received a standing ovation. That was a major moment that went unnoticed by many. But not by me. Consider for a moment that there may be more going on here than meets the eye. Thiel may be quietly doing more to move many old school rank-and-file Republicans out of the past and into the future than anyone else this cycle, and that's a positive development for the entire country.
That's a nice work of speculative fiction.

At this point, I wonder: with a huge dataset, wouldn't you have better time leaving the count field out of postgres altogether and use something like redis with its INCR/DECR instructions instead? This would prevent having deadlocks as well.

EDIT: that is, if you don't need to use the count field in other queries.
The best thing to remember is that if you're doing it for fun and learning, you don't need anything but a plain old HTML5 and a plain old script tag. Once you feel you need something more than that for a particular project (or for work) you'll be better able to evaluate what's out there.

I think one important point is hidden within this sentence:

"The original idea behind AMP was to allow content to be distributed to platforms (such as Google, Twitter and Pinterest) in a way that retains [...] control for the publisher."

(emphasis mine)

So Google sees itself as a platform in the tradition of Twitter and Pinterest - i.e. a controlled space on which content (with more or less control by the authors) is published. That's a significant difference to the gateway to the open web that they primarily still are at the moment.

I see it both as one of JS's greatest strengths, and greatest weakness's.

Certainly, at a prototyping/exploratory level, all of the freedom and choices are great!

For me, however, when you just 'need to get sh*t done', all the choices and configuration required to setup a project becomes a nightmare, commonly referred to now days as js fatigue.

I am looking forward to trying out http://www.electrode.io/ on my next project. Other than that, I have been digging into elm as a way to reduce the choices required and the cognitive load involved in setting a project up. It's great to have 'one true way' of doing things.

I'm pretty sure a huge portion of Trump's support is from people that are essentially single issue tax and supreme court voters (for the presidential election). Or even a Yuuuge portion. Jerry Falwell Jr. isn't struggling or left out of the political process.

I also don't understand what everyone have the right to say and mean what they want without having to fear the repercussions is supposed to mean. If someone repeatedly says stupid things, one of the repercussions is that I'm going to start thinking they aren't very thoughtful. Do they have a right to not be judged by me? Or are you referring to some grayer area of repercussions that they should not have to face?
