Back when we had different connectors for different things, we knew one thing: if it fit, it worked. But the proliferation of incompatible connectors, driven by the advancement of technology, meant that nothing fit! So we created one connector to rule them all: USB-C. Now everything fits, but nothing works.
There are many alternatives to chai/mocha. Ava, Jest and Tape.

I wouldn't consider Webpack an alternative to Gulp. Gulp is more generic. But if you use Webpack you can replace to task-runner part with a few scripts.

When using ES6 or TypeScript I'd also consider Immutable to be optional, because of "const" and "Object.assign()/Spread-Operator".

Also, React & Redux can be replaced with 1 thing, when you use a framework that bundles view components and state management.
The link explains it further. The point of the chronophone is that you can't just send ideas you already have back. If you want to send the scientific method back in time, you have to actually do science. If you want to send the printing press, you actually have to think about better ways your present civilization could transmit information.

I think his point is that, if it were universally part of basic cable packages (which AFAIK, it used to be), it shouldn't drop more than basic cable subscribers overall. So I suspect, though don't know, that because of its increased cost to cable operators, it may be in a higher tier package on some systems that many people are not taking.
I agree, we are moving away from "if it's the right shape it's compatible" to "everything fits in the port but they also need to speak the same protocol to talk".

This isn't completely new, a lot of non-standard USB hardware needed a driver (possibly in userspace) to work. However it is going to be much wider.

I think we will need to find methods to advertising to consumers how to figure out if things work together. The single port solution is technically superior but there are definitely human disadvantages that I think we can overcome with a little work.
Sort of, but it sacrifices the main benefit of generational GC by not allowing for bump allocation in the nursery.
The basic idea is that this is an area of the system that even you as the owner cannot inspect, but I'll let others do the bulk of the explaining:

Windows 10 just works and now we have WSL (i.e. bash i.e. run all your favorite CLI tooling). In general, Microsoft has gotten a lot better about Windows just working. Perhaps Linux has too, but you still had to make sure you had fully Linux-compatible hardware and then do extra steps to get Wi-fi, last time I played with it.

Also, the web browsing experience on Windows is so much better, and the audio stack doesn't fall down at the drop of a hat because you edited a config file wrong (hope you have someone sighted who knows how to unedit it for you). I'm not sure I'd call Linux a stronger foundation; this was not at all my experience with it. OS X is, but then desktop Voiceover sucks to the point where you can't really program with it (basic things like terminal do odd things, nevermind the 10 or so keystrokes needed to navigate from code to the project explorer in Xcode. And we have to mention the speech latency). Then they just killed the function keys, which is an additional problem knocking OS X off the list.

But I think the biggest thing about Windows for me is that it's got synths which are capable of being intelligible upwards of 800 words a minute. Linux didn't even let you get at these settings via Orca last I tried it, and you can't set the inflection either, so it never emphasized punctuation. When your interface is linear and top-to-bottom, the biggest bottleneck in the general case is how fast you can go with the synth, and any platform which significantly cuts this down is therefore not a winner in my book.

But whether or not you agree with my points, I consider it pretty clear-cut that only a blind programmer even has the option of trying Linux in the first place, and certainly not a new one at that. You need too much knowledge to have even a halfway decent experience. In terms of making things accessible and having them matter, you've got to hit Windows first.

I pad for the VMware plugin and the support was awful. It's supported on a best effort basis.

The horrible VMware plugin is what's making us stick to VirtualBox, even though everybody hates it (shared folders and 3D acceleration being the worst areas).

3D acceleration on VMware Workstation 12.1 is awesome (60fps inside the VM in OpenGL) and it let's me use the VM as a full desktop without even noticing I'm on a VM. Shared folders performance is also 10x better than VirtualBox.

Unfortunately, I have to use vagrant for work and that means my VMware install is dormant... and vagrant's VMware plugin license was wasted money.

This has nothing to do with watching porn. Plenty of men watch porn and don't rape anyone.

We turn first to the parallel quotations from Massinger and Shakespeare collocated by Mr. Cruickshank to make manifest Massinger’s indebtedness. One of the surest of tests is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest. Chapman borrowed from Seneca; Shakespeare and Webster from Montaigne. The two great followers of Shakespeare, Webster and Tourneur, in their mature work do not borrow from him; he is too close to them to be of use to them in this way. Massinger, as Mr. Cruickshank shows, borrows from Shakespeare a good deal. Let us profit by some of the quotations with which he has provided us—
Massinger: Can I call back yesterday, with all their aids
That bow unto my sceptre? or restore
My mind to that tranquillity and peace
It then enjoyed?

Shakespeare: Not poppy, nor mandragora,
Nor all the drowsy syrops of the world
Shall ever medecine thee to that sweet sleep
Which thou owedst yesterday.

'Liberal' - in every country in the world except the USA (and Canada) means 'Classical Liberalism' which 'economic liberalism' or 'everything not run by the Monarchy'. This is we call the Judiciary and Legislative 'Liberal institutions'. Economic liberals are kind of the old Bourgeoisie.

The 'Liberal' parties of the world are more like 'Libertarian' parties of the US, but they tend to be more 'business' like, and not so much 'anti government' and the don't have this 'don't tread on me' colloquial/aggressive attitude. They tend to be somewhat left-leaning on social issues.

'Neoliberal' is a term to describe those who are 'super free market' proponents, i.e. Chicago school of economics - free trade everywhere, no government 'interference'. etc..

I think what you mean is 'left-leaning' or 'socially leftist dogmatically'.

Also - European Football is not 'left leaning' - it's also what the rest of the world plays, and so do a lot of Americans.

I've read some polls indicating that the vast majority of Americans are upset with Kapernick, and the corporate tone of ESPN is getting fairly PC these days, which can be a good or bad thing depending on ... personally, I think sports is kind of an arena where people want to escape political issues and just play sports. ESPN has made some PC decisions lately and I wonder if this has been a factor myself.
If you are curious about why it's played, here is a good article: http://mentalfloss.com/article/22150/why-do-we-sing-national...

The short answer for why it is still played is "tradition". There's a lot of things in a lot societies that are "weird" for the same reason.
> so there is mini-DisplayPort (which looks suspiciously like ThunderBolt)

You're right here, Thunderbolt 1 and 2 use the mini-DisplayPort connector, now Thunderbolt 3 uses the USB-C connector.
This one has 4 USB/thunderbolt/Charing ports. They are all identical.
I wouldn't work there simply due to the fact that they advertise this. Not that it's a bad thing at all, it just shows that the company will have a culture that is very PC/SJW heavy and I'm honestly sick of it in this industry so I would stay away

It can, but not with a suitable latency for actual use. What you have to do is send the speech and ersynthesize on the far end. There's an NVDA issue for supporting RDP channels [0], but NVDA Remote made this very low priority and it's potentially blocking on another one to refactor how NVDA handles speech.

Well, YMMV but for me what took me several days with the gm wrapper, I had working in about 15 minutes with jimp. Now that I think about it, I recall that the gm wrapper had a very strange API, that greatly obscured what parameters got passed to gm underneath, and figuring out how that worked was a big part of the headache.

With jimp, everything basically did what it said on the tin. I remember wondering why such a useful library wasn't more famous.
I tried very hard to create the feature I was looking for without changing the source, but it just wasn't possible. I went through 3 or 4 prototypes, and eventually decided to just change bash itself (which was a good call in hindsight). I've had to make a few more change since too.

The source patch is located at

~/.fop/patched-executables/bash-4.3.30-post-patch-call-python-hook.patch

is has been applied after the LFS bash patch.

This patch is extremely sloppy and breaks certain things, but it does what I need for now. The way it works for bash commands is before handing a line of input off to be processed, it calls an external python hook which decides whether that line of input should be ignored or not, gives the hook a change to perform it's own custom behaviour (such as print an error message).
Literally no one cares about the anthem protests. They don't even show them during the games.

The big problem is that a lot of star players were injured at the beginning of the season - Brady, Romo, Dez Bryant, JJ Watt, RG III, Adrian Peterson, etc. Just so many injuries this year.

I am an adjunct professor in a CS department. I usually end up with introductory level courses, often for non-majors. This semester I have a visually impaired student in an introductory Java course who is unable to see the screen. He uses JAWS as his primary screen reader. To my great surprise, most of the tools we typically use were completely inaccessible to screen readers. I spent the first several weeks of the semester scrambling to find a reasonable set of tools that would work for him. We settled on Notepad++ and the terminal. Also, I provide him with special versions of the slide decks, readings, assignments, quizzes and exams.

I would be very interested to learn how visually impaired developers such as yourself and others got started, and for any suggestions for how I can make my student's experience more positive.

Thanks.
But GraphicsMagick and CGAL are nothing alike?
I'm a bit confused. The ports on the computers themselves can have different protocols- that makes sense.
But the cables themselves can also support different protocols? Maybe I'm just naive, but can someone explain how a "dumb" cable supports different specs?

It looks like the professor pulled a jerk move, jumping to conclusions based on scant evidence. Yet the writer seems to conclude that happened because of her ethnicity, without offering any evidence to support that. Maybe the professor is just a presumptuous jerk who pulls that with students regardless of their race, sex or ethnicity.

I'm not saying that's the case, because I have no evidence either way.

That means from USB-C I would either go to thunderbolt or directly to displayport AM. But how would it go on from Thunderbolt mode to video (displayport 1.2 version that intel specified)? Would Thunderbolt again dedicate some pins for it or is the signal somehow multiplexed into a big thunderbolt stream which carries everything?

A physical power switch would take more volume in the computer than the camera itself and would have a failure rate at least an order of magnitude higher than the camera. Things which people physically operate need to be physically more robust than electronic components on a circuit board.
Better shared folders and 3D acceleration would be a good start. They are completely broken and/or missing important features.

The community has no interest in maintaining VirtualBox, mostly because of Oracle. It's a dead project just like OpenOffice, OpenSolaris, etc. One day, enough customers will stop paying Oracle for it, they will look at community contributions (rare to nonexistent?) and will close the project down rationalizing it as they did all the work. The reality is, they don't know how to steer open source projects and have no desire to do that anyway (separate private bug tracker? write access to repository only to Oracle employees? harsh email replies and comments on bug reports?).

It's on life support and will stay like that for a little while. Unfortunately, it's the only hypervisor that vagrant supports decently and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux (as opposed to using KVM on Linux, xhyve on OSX and Hyper-V on Windows... for someone considering building vagrant boxes).

It's sad but completely expected.

Ah, it makes sense now. Thanks for clarifying!
The problem might be 40 years of tight monetary policy. The inflation that comes with a higher growth economy gives wage earners opportunity to move to new, better jobs. In a low growth economy, they fight over jobs and lose earning power.

A better national economy also probably has fewer people chasing the wealth in the valley.
Why Alphabet’s stock repurchase is $7,019,340,976.83
This is a sort of facile answer, since there are a lot of details to prove, but in short, because monetary policy over the long run should not have any effect on the real rate of return r and economy-wide growth rate g, which is what the book's argument hinges on.

The two big differences between the gold-backed system before the 70s and afterwards are:

- We picked fixed pegs to gold, meaning exchange rates were fixed and not floating as they are now

- Fixed exchange rates + free flow of capital is incompatible with being able to exercise monetary policy (banks can't print money since it needs to backed by gold) [1]

But it doesn't matter whether central banks exercise monetary policy or not!

Let's say a central bank today decides to print money. In the short run, that stimulates the economy, but in the long run it will lead to large rises in both nominal rates and inflation expectations, which cancel out (since real return = nominal return - inflation). The long run real rate of return is unaffected, as is the GDP growth rate.[2]

Right, wealthy parents are able to provide more opportunities for their offspring. But hasn't that always been true? I imagine the education available to the least fortunate today is much better than the education available to someone in the lower class from 100 years ago. Capitalism has allowed for better high end services, like better teachers and tutors, but overall information and knowledge has been democratized. There is no secret math or science you learn for the right price.

The problem I see is that when we talk about social mobility, we always talk about relative classes, in which case there will always be 1/5th of the population in the bottom fifth. In terms of absolute wealth, my experience is that everyone, more or less, is better off from generation to generation, at least in material terms.
A big difference is that Shenandoah still does compacting while gogc does not. That also means it can do bump-pointer allocation, i.e. it has a faster allocation path.
>Vectors have more values, 3 is common. Very useful for things like position or color.

>If two vectors overlap, the dot product is 1. If they are perpedicular (90 degree angle), the dot product is 0. (Note: just for vectors that only represent a direction and have length 1, you can think about varying vector lengths later)

Something is terrible incongruent (pun intended) here. How can three numbers have a length, much less length of one? I think here, the mathematical introduction that a vector is just an arrow is better here. It just so happens you can express the arrow as a set of numbers, which I admit is not obvious at first unless you've taken algebra 2. But the jump from "3 numbers" to length is confusing too.

The truth is people conflate vectors with arrays, but if you want to think deeper than anyone who does computer graphics needs to, you don't need coordinates or any group of numbers to express vectors.
Not as soon as you might think. NBA just signed a broadcast deal with Turner and ESPN big enough to allow every teams salary cap to increase to $94m (from $70m) per year. This is making even mediocre players incredibly wealthy this year.

Take for example this feature on a relatively unknown player named Tyler Johnson[0], who just signed a deal that'll earn him about half of Michael Jordan's entire cumulative career salary in just 4 years -- or $50 million. And that's one of the lowest new deals cited in the article.

I do know that it's a fact broadcast deals affect player salaries, but I expect salaries to continue trending upward even while broadcasters shift focus to web/streaming distribution.

While I don't disagree with you at all, the fact that "ministers in Indian Parliament watch porn" is meant literally makes me wonder what kind of overlap there is. These are elected officials watching porn on their phones during parliamentary sessions. I'm not saying that one causes the other, just that they both might be symptomatic of a related root cause.

ESPN is unfortunately bound contractually that they have to delivery their content through cable providers. I remember reading that if they developed their own direct-to-consumer product, they could no longer be on any cable channels.

That's why they've partnered with Sling TV and Sony Vue, whose numbers are not included in the 650k loss. I'm sure those services each have a couple hundred thousand subscribers, and anecdotally, many of my cord-cutting / sports fan friends get their ESPN fix through those instead of a huge cable bundle.
