>The problem with that is that it breaks a user's flow too much :/

Unironically and without rancor, would you say it breaks a users flow more or less than having to go fire up their password manager and find the service from dozens of entries?

The number of services we use daily is increasing, and they just keep getting hacked. The idea of actually memorizing your password is rapidly becoming impractical. Most people these days who understand password security have either developed a personal algorithm for deriving passwords, or use a password manager for literally everything.

I'm super glad someone has done this, because it means I don't have to get off my arse and do it, and lord knows I love laziness.

Generally speaking, for websites that I log into less than once a month, I reset my password every time I log into them, and set it to a random and long keyboard smashing every time I do so. This is the same workflow, but without having to use notepad to stage the new "password" for entry into the confirmation field.
I find it really weird that the unique openness, positivity and lack of pretentiousness among EDM fans/dancers is being perceived as something negative. I instead find it hugely refreshing - EDM is all about going with the blissful flow and feeling/sharing in positive emotions with the people around you. As long as the music contributes to a great vibe it's fantastic music as far as I'm concerned, I don't care one bit about if you spent an hour or a year creating the song.

I spend way too much of my regular life being analytical (heh..) and thinking instead of enjoying, and I really don't understand why it's so popular among music fans to always look for the flaws in everything instead of finding the beauty. I understand that as a someone who has seen through the smoke and mirrors it may be tempting to clear the smoke.

But I came because of the smoke machine, and when I look back I'll remember the warm feeling of empathy, fun and joy seemingly flowing through the hazy air - not about how much time or effort the DJ spent on the tunes. That doesn't make me stupid or ignorant, I'd argue it makes me the opposite.

And formulaformillionaires.com redirects to medium.com. Weird.
it's really amazing how bad giphy is.

rightgif works a lot better, but isn't as nicely integrated (not their fault -- 3rd party integrations don't get the same abilities as built-in giphy; come on slack...).
I don't think there's any C++, it's just referring to the C headers above.
>Repos are cool but don't be a programmer. Programmers make programs. You should probably make money

This is an interesting point. I like to think of myself as a business owner/entrepreneur who programs. Programming is such a small part of what I do.

Of course if you want to be a Programmer, there is nothing wrong with that. Some people don't want to have to worry about biz dev or all of the other stuff and just want to code/create/build.
> You are picking the extremes to show why my analogy isn't good, which is unfair.

I'm trying to illustrate why your analogy isn't good. How many phones do you own that are 100 years old? How many of those charge with Micro-USB? How many of them even have connections not designed to be hard-wired?

It's unreasonable to point at electrical standards that took decades to reach and have stood for decades and say "look, standards are great" as if that logic is applicable to phones that will be replaced in a few years that are using standards that have existing for less than a decade (Micro-USB) and only a year (Type-C). In the past two decades there have been over a dozen changes to the USB spec and almost a dozen different physical connectors.

While consistency is great, standardizing on a bad standard too early isn't a good thing. Would USB-C exist if not for Lightning?

> but 220 volt outlets are standardized in the US as well.

Kind of. There are both 3-prong (NEMA-10) and 4-prong (NEMA-14) 220 plugs in wide use. There are actually a whole bunch of "standard" connections in lesser use.

> The point is because of Apple continuing to "move us forward" we will never have something to standardize around.

If the alternative is that we were stuck with Micro-USB for a hundred years, then I'm very happy that Apple "moved us forward".
Change the title to something like "Picking an Apple laptop for development use".
Suggestions:
# Landing Page
1. Increase the visual weight of the Call-To-Action button. One way to do this would be to move the button up on the landing page, perhaps after the first paragraph.
- You only want enough text to entice users into clicking the button. You can have a secondary fallback that allows them to read more on that page by scrolling down and add a secondary terminal call to action (at bottom of page content above footer).
- - You can defer the story information to the waiting stage area for users to read while they're waiting.
2. INCREASE THE SIZE of the call-to-action text, namely "STOP THE INVASION"
# Game Page
3. "join the queue of fighters" - How do we join the Queue?
4. The use of @names looks like twitter integration. This could be a nice way to add some virality by letting people oauth into enlisting.
5. Can you sell a queue jump for $.99? Either instantly putting you in control or making you next up? It'd be an interesting experiment.
6. if usernames are only preserved by session you could still create lightweight player profile pages. If you twitter oauth in perhaps you can provide links to their twitter profile. You could include things like number of plays, number of shots, number of hits, total points, average points, play frequency per day, etc

General Ideas:
Improve virality mechanics by integrating more tightly with twitter. Allow posting of score, perks for referring people (front of queue hop perhaps?).
Show us some info on our weapon system even if its totally made up.

There is not a single sports car that you would get hit with a 50% depreciation just for driving off the lot.

For leasing, you aren't paying for the full cost of the car either, in fact, depends on the company you could actually come out ahead when compared to purchasing.

I have barely shared an opinion and I'm already forced to offer countless minutes of free "support" because someone on the internet misunderstood it or has surplus minutes for arguing. Now imagine if I had posted a github link to some fancy router, brand new web framework for Golang or whatever. Sorry but I really don't have time to explain you that I don't have time for "free support" even if the hosting is cheap now.
What a ridiculous statement and article. Why is crap like this posted here.
> If this really bothers you, use zhuyin, or double pinyin.

Double pinyin is still pinyin. Zhuyin works, but I suppose, on reflection, I also want the benefit of reinforcing my knowledge of how to write a character by hand.

> There is always one canonical way (the "stroke order") of writing a character. I find it a little surprising that a hobbyist learner wouldn't already know this? How are you studying?

I'm well aware; I was talking about in this input system. Ie, a given radical can be further decomposed into smaller radicals or individual strokes. If I input "stroke 1" + "stroke 2" instead of "radical comprising stroke 1 and stroke 2" is it meant to still work? (I discovered several situations where that wasn't the case, so another way of stating my question is: Is this intentional or a bug?).
Neat!

It's definitely showing me some cool articles I hadn't noticed before.

I wish I could upvote and watch it re-order, instead of having to click and then come back to a completely changed list.

Not that I disagree with what others have said, but I've found that the bigger the company and the more misleading is the mental model of a company as a single, unique, self conscious entity that would take decision according to its own interest.

Behind companies decisions there are real persons taking decisions or supporting them for their own personal agendas that are not visible from the outside.
Too big to fail doesn't necessarily mean that the investors (equity and debt holders) have anything left at the end.

Many manufacturers operate their own lease. For BMW, you are likely to come out ahead than purchasing the car and selling it yourself after 3 years. Their residual value for lease is artificially high.

For Maserati, some of their models actually carry a negative money factor, so you are being PAID to lease. You can lease an $80k Ghibli for $600/month for 3 years, that's way less depreciation than if you bought and sold the car after 3 years.

I don't get it. Reddit explicitly forbids self-promotion. https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion

I understand their policies, but I'm running a business. I have time enough to share my work on Reddit, but I don't have time to be an active contributor to Reddit, submitting links from a variety of sources, just so I can occasionally post my own links and get no clicks on them.

The only self-promomtion alternative is posting a sponsored headline. Doing that every time I want to share my own stuff is just throwing away money.
Amazing the submissive tone, and lack of confidence in that message. Compared to the holier than thou attitude Linus presents himself in these days. I would have never guessed he wrote that.
You are kind of comparing apples to used apples; EVs are currently unproven and have extreme loss of residual value.
Welcome to everything marketed for mass appeal, ever. Mainstream audiences don't exhibit refined tastes, and the product is more facade than substance. In music this has been an open secret of for decades.

To me, it sounds like the author just has a chip on their shoulder about EDM in specific. That goes insufficiently unexplored, but the reason is probably best described as "salty."

Yet, the article is dressed it up VICE-magazine's carefully managed branding and is designed to look like an authentic entity exposing something meaningful. All flash, no substance. Irony, thy name is VICE.

I'm hoping it survives until Apple releases something with replaceable internal disks. Realistically I don't expect them to do that, so I'll probably look into a home NAS for storage and use an iMac 5K or so. I have that at work and love it.

I read Scott's stuff and he also complained about the trolls putting bad reviews on amazon. I had a look and there were exactly two bad reviews giving 1* and saying don't buy because he's promoting Trump.

There is dance music that is original and tasteful you know? The article instead shows quite well how the mainstream edm scene is mindlessly homologous and that for this scene in particular the hype of big dj's is meaningless. In other dance music scenes DJ's are revered for combining their large collections of music, knowledge of track selection, and understanding a crowd to create an individual experience each time. Sure if you have brainwashed yourself to enjoy the tired formulaic mainstream edm drivel you'd love a cliché mainstream edm DJ, however for people who love dance music it can be insufferable.

I think luck here is referring, mainly, to risk taking - a giant corporation is not going to be the company on something that has a 0.5 probability of happening, but a startup might.

For instance: All these startups around self-driving vehicles. There's a non-zero chance the publics current unsettledness swings to full on majority disapproval, leading to gov't regulation killing self driving cars.

You can set yourself up to maximize the chance of that not happening, but but you cannot bring the probability to zero. Hence, these startups all rely on being "lucky".

Meaning, unlike what I felt you are implying in your comment here, startups are often and in many variables betting on probabilities that they are not in control of, aka luck in the exact same sense as a lottery ticket.

A lot of early vines that made it big relied on pretty racist stereotypes, I really disagree when people label Vine as a haven for black entertainment because in reality I feel like it was overall a pretty bad place for anyone not white.

Yes, there are some very awesome and entertaining content creators on Vine that are black, but there's also a lot of racist shit hitting the top of the comedy section that plays on every old and new stereotype you can think of.

I feel like for most of vine's lifespan, the comedy section was filled with stupidly simple sketches about 1) Asian and chopsticks/ninjas 2) Black people and swimming/tough guy/etc... 3) muslims and bombs. I'd hardly call that a welcoming culture.

that being said, I feel like the current comedy section of vine was finally more matured and had content that wasnt stupid simple racial stereotypes, sad that's it's being shut down now.

wubi and pinyin are for two different kinds of people. pinyin is for ones who read the character out in their mind as typing. And wubi is for people who visualize the character. For native speaker, speaking is natural, that's why pinyin is gaining more popularity among native speakers.
That's true. Would be nice if Adobe at least threw some resources at it though.

It's a huge undertaking. There are just a ton of library calls to support. Here's the list of AS3.0 classes: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionsc...

And a whole lot of games are still in AS2 - game developers never really embraced AS3.

It really isn't going to happen, I'm afraid.

EDIT - Maybe it's possible to compile the C++ sources for the Flash Player to WebAssembly? Then you wouldn't have to re-implement the libraries.

I don't know the state of these compilers, but there was a Mozilla post about it a while back: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/12/compiling-to-webassembly-i....

Adobe hasn't open sourced the Flash Player, so it would have to be them.

The author appears confused as to what being a DJ actually involves. This confusion is understandable considering she seems to believe that the electronic music scene begins and ends with the Big Room EDM of Netsky/Flume. Whilst this may be the commercial face of EDM, for many fans it is no more representative of the EDM genre than chart Hip-Hop is of the Hip-Hop genre. The very idea that refined DJs would want "the platform occupied by cake-throwing pyrotechnic-firing entertainers" betrays her claim of understanding the scene.

Anyone can play some popular tracks and mix into the EDM scene for a while but that's not going to get you on the Resident Advisor Top 100. Serious DJ's (I'm talking the likes of Ricardo Villalobos or Nicolas Jaar) have a religious like commitment to the art and performing sets is only a fraction of what they do.

In fact, I wish we had more diversity as far as operating systems are concerned. For example, BeOS/Haiku would seem to me a saner choice for a desktop than an OS primarily designed for servers. (Windows and Mac OS used to be purely desktop OS, but not any more.) RISC OS is another interesting example.

But what does irritate is that the site has dozens of third party scripts, including passing on your email to "intercom" and a bunch of other trackers without hashing it or using a different tracker Id.

So you not only have to trust the content to Draft, you have to trust it to a dozen third parties with which you have no relationship.
