And by the way, no I'm really not interested in generally helping with a language I don't use. What I object to is the Perl6 community siphoning off Perl5 oxygen and then using it to do nothing. I WAS willing to help ... in the moment that it would have helped. Its too late now, I'm not sure how Perl6 gets the spotlight again when it so perfectly eschewed it when one was waiting to shine on it.
This has about as much hype as Ginger (Segway Transporter) did before it was launched. Disrupting multi-billion dollar industries in a single bound, changing the world forever at it's launch.

But in reality what it really takes to disrupt an industry is both a disruptive product and a really compelling mass-market price point. One of the reasons the Segway PT failed is it was $6k to buy. That severely limits the addressable market to only the rich and those that really want a new form of transport.

This is the same problem Magic Leap and Microsoft's Hololens have. If the product is more than say around $700, it's not going to be a mass consumer product, and it's not going to disrupt entire industries. The iPhone is a good example of a product that is sold for about the maximum price point a user can tolerate in most countries, and even then a lot of iPhones are sold in installments to bring the upfront cost down.

I find it hard to imagine that Magic Leap can hit that entry level price point in a Version 1 product, and if they can't then there will be quite a few big tech companies gunning to catch up with their technology by the time they hit a V2 to erode there exclusivity. Just look at how Google turned Android around after the iPhone launched to go with full screen touch just 6 months after the iPhone.
I find the old icons were easier to distinguish between each other than today's saturated and color-filled icons. Of course today we have way more icons / apps than there was on the old mac, but today's icons all have very similar shapes. Switch your screen to grayscale (in Accessibility settings) and many of the modern app icons in the Dock all look very similar.
Here is one more reason I use MacPorts, because it never does crap like this:

> it's very questionable the North could have fought some more

China didn't enter the war "just because" - the main reason was the US encroachment on the Chinese border. By comparison, it would be as-if China was warring in Mexico, and the US decided to ensure China didn't continue marching northwards.

Both China and the US more-or-less stood-down together, which left both North and South Korea in a tough spot - fighting could absolutely continue, however it would have been more of a drag on both nations without their "big brother" support.

So, the ceasefire wasn't because one side of the other couldn't continue the fight - it was because both sides _could_ continue the fight, but both recognized it would be devastating for everyone.

If we fast forward to today, it's unquestionable both sides (with or without foreign support) could continue to wage war on the other.
Having been born 9 years after 1984, I look at this and think how little desktop operating system GUI's have changed in 32 years. The same menus, windows, icons are all still very familiar, albeit with more visual 'eye candy' nowadays.
Another way to look at it is that a relatively large amount of money was taken from Tesco, and Tesco has simultaneously been fooled into reducing the reported balance on 20,000 customer accounts.

The difference is between whether this is seen as a bank robbery, or a series of minor incidents of identity theft.
Despite Monsanto and Syngenta's marketing about "saving starving children", there's good reason why developing countries are actively fighting GMOs. Giving centralized control of food production to a handful of American corporations is a precarious position.

In practice, GMO agriculture creates a trade imbalance. Instead of simply exporting produce, many countries will find themselves importing huge volumes of proprietary products from the likes of Monsanto. This includes buying new breed of patented seeds every year, fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, etc. And of course, once a farm goes GMO, soil damage makes it almost impossible to go back to organic farming. High level of lock in.

GMO seeds have been modified to create plants that won't make new seeds, great for recurring revenue
Interesting analysis. After ten years, I wonder whether the authors' choice of sampling intersections should be updated as new bike lanes make certain routes more preferable. For example: There's a heavily-used bike lane on 9th Street which is on the official NYC bike map; 7th street has no marked lane and doesn't get as many riders in my experience.

This is a odd generalization and mischaracterization of ceasefires. There's nothing intrinsically magical about a ceasefire. You can only truly judge their success by their circumstances and goals, not what happens after they end.

We wouldn't have the peace we have now in Northern Ireland without negotiated ceasefires.

One issue with this is that URLs for sites can, and in my experience, often do, change, while logins remain the same. A password that uses the URL/site itself may no longer work unless you can remember the old site. That's a headache. I used to have my own mental model of generating a password based on a URL, and it eventually failed several times over because of this issue.
Agreed on both counts. I didn't mean to say I'm not making those assumptions, just that they're the relevant questions for opposing GMO crops that produce pesticides/fungicides.

1) Lots of pesticides, including some of those we're addressing, are known to be bad for humans. Without going into biochemistry, the GMO-designer argument here isn't "it's safe" but "it isn't produced in the edible part of the crop". I'm content to say take the word of the people selling a pesticide-producing-crop if they say the pesticide is bad to eat.

2) This is a way bigger and harder question. If 'natural' pesticides are being pitted against indiscriminate use of neonicotinoids, we should probably choose the natural/GMO options and not kill all the bees. And I realize that some pesticide/crop combinations absolutely can't be cleaned up by washing - broccoli comes to mind as particularly hard to clean. I only meant to raise the question of dose/harm in pesticidal GMOs, not assert that they're always worse than external application.
You're probably correct, though subjectively I didn't start feeling like something was amiss until Mac OS 9, perhaps as early as 8.5.

I think OS X, as the child of NeXTSTEP and Mac OS, ended up somehow less than the sum of its parts.
I don't know. Maybe I just used my Macs differently, but I didn't really notice a lot of changes to the GUI after it went color. It was the same, just in color. What elements are you thinking of that went away or got worse after the Macintosh II?

When I went to buy a used stroller I was so frustrated with all the back and forth required to just buy something - I ended up spending the better part of 2 days trying to negotiate and arrange the pickup! Even with new players like Letgo and Facebook Marketplace it is still just as much time and effort to buy/sell online. Since I had some time on my hands (as I'm still on maternity leave) I decided that I'd build a better marketplace for kid gear. I've cobbled together a few apps in Shopify (including Postmates delivery) and using Amazon Mechanical Turks for the AI portion for now.

I'd love any feedback, suggestions, input, etc. that this group could offer!

What extinguishes the war, is that the resources of those spending for it, are rerouted to other theaters of the great game.

Doesn't always have to be that, they can end by enough men of military age being killed or disabled on one side. The US Civil War (as much as a 1/3 of the South; we don't have good figures for it), WWI very possibly, certainly neither resulted in a rerouting to "other theaters of the great game."

In WWII the main combatants on one side were decisively defeated, occupied, and pacified, at least for a while for the Germans, and the following "great game" strife didn't consume a fraction of the human resources of the US and USSR that WWII did.

Then there's Carthaginian peaces, although of course in that case Rome always had some other frontier to make war on.

So, yes? The author incredulously assumes that "it's not worth it" in which case it actually might be worth it for someone and that is an avenue to do it.
yeh. I grew up a nerdy shy geek making straight A's in advanced classes tested with high IQ and went on to get a STEM Degreee, and I was a girl, so being that as a girl was a super outlier. I didnt wear abercrombie and fitch and I didn't understand why talking poorly of other girls made you cool. I was relentlessly bullied and just ignored in general by people who did not bully me.

At the time I did not really think of it that way because I was in my own head alot and focused in class but in retrospect I would say yeh the way I was treated definitely qualifies as bullying and I think if I participated in mean behavior towards other outcasts and gossiped with the girls I would have been treated better or had a better chance of fitting in.
Thanks for the tip, I'll check out Rimworld too!

Primitive graphics are no barrier at all. I am a graphics programmer and graphics lover through and through. But I can say with some confidence that graphics only matter sometimes, and even then are only a part of what makes any game good.

I saw a great talk at GDC many years ago that had a study of what makes good games good and "realistic", and graphics was 7th or 8th on the list. The number one item on the list was how well players understood their own identity in the game, whether they felt like they fit in and knew what to do. Such an interesting and important and IMO underrated piece of gaming psychology.
> All of this was designed to run in 128k of RAM. Makes you really wonder why Windows 2000 requires 128 MEGS to run.

Like today, was it impossible to quite the app with a single mouse click?
So true. I had to stop loading Slack at startup because it was using 400MB of memory and running eight threads. As the article says, come on, "It's just a text chat app." For Electron to be viable we need a "Chrome Core" library that just has a JavaScript engine and some OS glue.
Thanks. Good point about leads - I can see the value of offering a more comprehensive service that could include SEO optimisation and help with lead generation.

I am also open to partnering with other stakeholders. I thing I thought of earlier on was to offer a whitelabel service so a third party could offer the online web builder as a service in a market that they know well - I'm just not sure how to find people to partner with.
The nostalgia makes me feel happy.

I'm of the opinion that there was a time, very early and ever-so-briefly, when icons were useful in distinguishing on thing from another. But now we have so many of them, all demanding our attention, and looking quite similar to one another. App icons on macOS maybe not so much, but for sure toolbar icons. IIRC, there are even usability studies out there that back me up on this, though I'm too lazy and apathetic on the topic to go look them up.

Point being, useless as icons might be these days, "we've always done it this way" and either no one dare go against the grain or no one has a better idea.
> Should prostitution be legalized, should people be able to settle debts with their bodies?

It would be indentured servitude if a court ordered it be done to satisfy a debt, which I believe is illegal.

Otherwise, it seems like it would be no worse than a glassworker being allowed to pay off his debts by making you a window. We do have reasonable bankruptcy laws and other tools for handling debt-related disputes.
Not even for the micro-pennies that experimenting with the real deal would cost you?

If you think you might end up using it, why try and replicate it on your machine (any more than Docker already does) rather than just cross the deployment bridge sooner?
> So then why can our brains do it?

Because current NNs only simulate, like, less than 1 mm^3 of brain matter. Someone writing lyrics for a song has millions of such tiny networks working concurrently in their brain - and then there are higher-level networks supervising and aggregating the smaller nets, and so on.

Current AI NN architectures are flat and have no high-level structure. There's no hierarchy. There's no plurisemantic context spanning large time intervals and logic trees. No workable memory organized short-, mid- and long-term. Etc, etc, etc.

We're not even scratching the surface yet.
Do you have a write-up of your experience by any chance?

We're primarily using DataFrames (since we're doing lots of ML processing) and Pipelines API, but I was looking forward to switching to Dataset API.
Just because an idea makes one uncomfortable ("eating sludge", "efficient and sustainable nutrition impacting public policy", etc.) does not make it unreasonable, least of all unreasonable for discussion. The opposite should be true.
You seem to be approaching this as if every human that has been trafficked is doing so willingly. Are you suggesting that people should be empowered by the law to take young people and rent them out to people as sex toys? And that such a move would actually decrease the number of, say, young girls are forced into prostitution against their wills?

Or, put another way, do you really believe that human trafficking exists because child prostitution is illegal?
> Maybe that initial, small, tiny road bump encourages people to look up tutorials instead of trying to forge ahead without any training.

I believe this is what's called "user-hostile".

You're basically telling the user to RTFM, which is just going to drive away the creative people that you actually want to cultivate.
I banged heads with him a few times on the Mac OS X mailing list. Perl had a very cultish following for a bit and he was adored and celebrated by them so if you crossed him you had to deal with his minions.

On the other hand, a few years later he did stick up for me when I defended my still using CGI.pm on one of the other Perl mailing list and that sure turned the tone of the thread around in a hurry.

I don't recall there ever being any sexist remarks on any of the Perl Mailing list but those incidents mentioned at that link don't surprise me. Randall has a history of doing stupid stuff.

Yes, you had to hold the mouse button, so it's still one click. And that still works, you just don't have to do it.
How would you possibly do that? Part of Go is that there are no warnings, only errors. If you want it to just error a build if you've "deprecated" a thing, just delete the thing...

That's not an argument against transgenetic modification, it's an argument about intellectual property and economic practices.

As for terminator seed, this is a valuable technology that addresses concerns that transgenes could spread into the environment. It's also quite irrelevant to any crop that relies on hybrid vigor for yield; F1 seed must be specifically developed from inbred parents, thus no seed saving is possible. In this context, a terminator line would only serve to protect the environment.

If I read and interpreted Prop 60 correctly too, it also looks like you can sue for any video re-posted regardless when it was originally released, and it becomes the responsibility of the defendant to prove the video was produced before Prop 60 came into effect (assuming it passes).

In other words, someone pirates an old (pre-prop60) video, uploads it to a sharing site, someone can use it to sue the producers and the producers have to prove the video was produced and released before Prop-60 was enacted.

Am I reading that right?

For long running containers, true. But I want to manage some of my data processing as a bunch of individual components that may have very short runtimes. I don't feel like paying for 10 minutes as a minimum makes sense if I only need a machine for 90s.

Their recent examples of using it as a highly parallel build server make more sense there. Do you want to pay for 10 minutes every time you trigger a 1 minute build job?
