One problem with this approach is when you're relying on web fonts for Unicode character ranges which aren't universally supported by your visitors’ OS.

A compromise approach which can work nicely is declaring @font-face values using unicode-range to target specific language blocks and then having your font-family be something like 'sans-serif, noto-sans-whatever` so it'll default to a similar system font but load the webfont when the page actually has a character which isn't in the system font.
Container Orchestration Specification for Better DevOps
As far as I'm aware Slack does not offer on-premise installs. (On-premise in this case could mean running in my own account at a cloud service provider) It's unfortunate because I'd love to adopt them as well at my current company, but it will be very difficult to achieve if the only option is to become yet another tenant of some large multi-tenant infrastructure.

Microsoft will quickly take over this market if they offer an easy-to-manage on-prem solution that's integrated with the company directory, as it seems they've done. Plenty of firms already have Exchange and ActiveDirectory and Skype for Business.

If the gas tax was pitched and passed as a usage tax, rather than as an incentive for purchasing more efficient vehicles, I'd have a different perspective on moving to a mileage tax. However, in California, at least some gas taxes were pitched and passed as vice taxes, and the mileage tax here was explicitly pitched to replace the revenue generated by it (by at least one CA representative). Thankfully, thus far we've resisted.

Related: a usage tax for maintenance of roads and bridges has a far simpler option than taxing gas that may be used in boats, tractors, and other non-road uses: toll roads, which tax everyone who uses the roads equivalently. And before anyone argues that such a tax is regressive: a gas tax is far more regressive, as those with older, less efficient vehicles are hit harder than those with the money to buy a Tesla.
Ugh, the Steam browser...

Some dubstep I've heard actually has quarter tones in it. If you find that everything you come up with on an equal temperament scale is boring and familiar, using different tunings and scales might be a useful next step to unlock creativity.
Google.com is 366KB transferred for me.

I wasn't trying to suggest all web pages should be svelte. I was suggesting that a page complaining about bloat should probably be optimized. Especially when we're talking about web fonts that are typically 50 to 150KB.

I'd also call out a blog post that, for example, called out jQuery as being unneeded bloat, if the blog post itself used jQuery. Assuming the blog was itself run/configured, etc, by the poster.
It's funny how achieving great success more as a result of luck than ingenuity seems to go hand-in-hand with arrogance.

Firefoxes 'user font' facility tries to accomodate them by fallback to Webfont if the glyphs are not included the user fonts unicode ranges. This works with sites that use icon or expansion unicode ranges to display icons, but some eg. imgur assign icons in the range for common characters, so they look dumb, but at least something gets displayed.

Buying real estate and renting it out might actually be the most reliable way to build wealth. You need to be in a market with steady growth, which is true of many desirable cities. You need some starting capital, which most people could earn through a few years of steady work and frugal living (probably have to hold off on having a family unless you have high income).

It's not a "get rich quick" scheme by any means, though, and managing properties is still work. I know more than one retiree who has built up 8-figure wealth this way. Of course, it took them a lifetime.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Microsoft Team doesn't currently have a self-hosted option. I hope it's in the pipeline because my company can't use an offsite IM service. It would be nice if Microsoft added support and then Slack followed. Competition is good!
I had a similar experience working in a hardware research group for a few years. We were working in Bluespec, and our process was very software like, in that we'd hack things together and fix bugs when they arose. We were doing okay in terms of getting working hardware quickly, and our process was fairly bad (e.g. we used SVN, often badly). I think a better funded team using modern practices (backed by some more traditional QA) could do really well.

And my impression from our interactions with the industry is that hardware and software are so culturally separated that there are hardly any people who end up experiencing enough of both to truly tackle the problems. Hardware people tend to think abstraction is a synonym for inefficiency, and software people often aren't familiar enough with the complications of hardware to abstract it efficiently.
no that's just a stupid idea anyway. If someone came to me with an offer I'd wonder how crazy and/or stupid this person is and just say good luck at company X.
Just looking at all those dongles he has to use makes me sad. Apple makes wonderful hardware but what a hassle to not have an HDMI cable and regular USB.

So Apple expects me to use a dongle for HDMI, a dongle for USB and a dongle for ethernet. A bridge too far.
Yea, the argument that it's a usage tax falls apart when you point out that, even before the movement to fuel efficient vehicles, a gas tax always applied to different people differently, regardless of their usage, as so many cars get different mileage, require more expensive forms of gas, etc. Unless someone somehow tries to make an argument that the variation in tax burden is somehow progressive (which is ridiculous unless they're arguing that wealthy people as a rule drive less efficient cars), then there's really no way to claim that it's actually a use tax.
Why Are US Presidential Elections So Close?
What you wrote about Obama is actually correct.

True, Obama came in with a set of foreign policy objectives that were not inline with standing US foreign policy. So he lost that battle.

He was very reluctant to involve the military, especially in the ME. So in Libya, for example, and even in Syria, he was accused of leading from behind.

Even with respect to Russia, recall that he wanted to "reset" relations with that country, but that, too, was not in line with what the military guys, that is, the guys who actually run the country, wanted. So he lost that battle too.
This isn't something to have an argument over. However, while in Kiev I did not see a single armed person nor any signs of conflict. My visit was almost a month ago.

On the flip side, Crimean border is protected by armed forces on behalf of Russia and overall sentiment in the peninsula is not that favorable to Ukrainians.

Though I do agree that many still visit. My only point was that I did not feel comfortable.
I think the discussion of the kinds of risks Mars might act as a hedge against are being trivialised a bit. It's not all just about asteroids. Elon has researched this pretty thoroughly. If you want to really understand what he's talking about look up Nick Bostrom, but here are a few.

* a nanotechnology disaster

* Implementation of technologies that enable a global super-stable oppressive state.

* An AI disaster along the lines of a paper clip optimiser

* An AI or augmented intelligence that deprecates all lesser intelligences.

* The film version of I Robot.

* Biotech plague.

* Regression to a stable social and biological state optimising for lower intelligence or stagnation.

The way I think about this is that it's not just a backup. It's also deliberately introduced variation in environment and social structures that variegated Hunan civilization. Well develop technologies and social structures we wouldn't otherwise have that might help mitigate some of these risks. Semi-isolated from Earth, it would be at least partially protected from many of these threats. Of course, it could introduce new threats, but the isolation would work to protect Earth to some extent in that eventuality.

Sure, but my point is that there is a high cost to firing people. I agree that there is also a high cost to not firing someone when it needs to be done, but the two of those things combined explains why employers want so badly to get it right the first time.
That's never going to happen because all the browsers are funded by advertising. Except maybe Safari. As you say yourself, Mozilla makes their money by getting payed by Google to not do that. Unless user donations massively increase, they'd be committing suicide.
Yeah, but Hipchat or Campfire are just as easy to use. And Microsoft's will probably be as well.
As opposed to decades of proxy wars, sponsoring terrorism, election-dependent schizophrenia on the part of the Department of State, and much larger weapon arsenals?

The decades of arms reductions still put the arsenals of either the US, or Russia at ~10 times that of India and Pakistan combined.

At least India has a no-first-use policy. I'm not saying things are better in that conflict, but this is the pot calling the kettle black.

I wrote in an earlier comment, "Apple released new stuff, quick, write a contrarian blog post!" I'd almost swear an entire industry has built up around this very sentiment.

Seems to me that if Apple suffers from anything, it's the ol' Microsoft conundrum: "our competition is the previous version of Windows". My 2012 rMBP is chugging along just fine, running VMs and IDEs, and just being a general workhorse. Though I imagine I'll go against the grain and find the Touch Bar actually useful, I'm not dropping $2500 to find out. I'm not of the opinion that Apple is losing it, gone off the rails, or whatever the cool kids on Medium are saying. I just don't see enough of a jump to warrant spending more money. Which I imagine is a problem a lot of computer manufacturers are coming to grips with.

And perhaps that's the source of the angst. Many, like me, were probably looking for a reason, any reason to go drop $2500 to replace their 3-4 year old laptop. The big announcement came, and no such reasons were given. Doesn't bother me, it's a tool not a toy. But I can understand some disappointment.
I don't object to the respondent: it's true, SpaceX has broken out of earth orbit -- but that's still a far cry from deploying to Mars.

My point stands: SpaceX needs to get to Mars once before we can start calling them serious interplanetary contenders.
When commute becomes more bearable, more people will buy houses behind an even longer commute, so the total amount of miles commuted daily will increase.
Likewise. Even the Google app on Android annoyingly uses a weird 'Powered by Chrome' view.
Fine idea, but it needs to cancel the default event because otherwise the page scrolls up when you rotate a piece.
Every lottery ticket has the same odds of winning, no matter the "strategy" employed in picking numbers, location of buying the ticket, etc. Facebook is not in any way a analogue, unless you are arguing that its success was entirely random, and would have stood an equal chance of happening if I had started it at a community college, then put the headquarters in Alaska, which is false.
I don't agree. Many wouldn't.
A "browser" is now just a medium for exploration? Not necessarily webpages, but whatever type of content the particular "browser" happens to revolve around?

That's not a legitimate redefining of the term "browser", just a convenient (and poor) definition that makes the author's argument (falsely) appear more sound.
Are there any remaining ICBMs that use liquid propellants? Liquid-fueled ICBMs vulnerable to a first strike, not to mention all those messy accidents with hypergolic fuels.

I like xubuntu because it's minimalistic and not as bloated. It doesn't take a lot of effort to set up your favorite packages like a lamp server and the like after a basic install. My cheap touch screen is a little laggy, but when plugged into an HDMI monitor, the OS is as fast as a desktop computer. Be sure to buy the latest rpi though, because the original rpi1 is kind of slow and disappointing compared to the latest one with much nicer specs. With an external high-capacity battery and a USB wireless keyboard, it can even function as a laptop replacement if you're okay with using linux as your main OS.
You gotta stop going to those sites. :)
Simulation as a Practical Tool (2009)
"Don't underestimate people who hate ads, especially video ads."

If you don't want ads - then you have to pay for the apps.

Get it?

This has nothing to do with technology, ad-blockers, advertisers or anything else.

It's not even at the level of 'economics'.

No pay / No ads = no content.

None of you teenagers have been able to counter that point yet.

> 99% of Apps and Websites with content would disappear if there was no ad revenue or payment.

I can't believe that any of you are finished school and have jobs, because all this talk of 'turing machines' is laughable and incredulous.
> I'm not sure he was introspective enough to be a member of the cult of his own ego

I'm not sure that I agree. I think he was very introspective but, because of being put for adoption and other traumatic experiences in his childhood, he focused on things that are atypical (hence the accusations of sociopathy).
So buying a house behind even a 2-3 hours commute will become doable. So people will start doing it. Perhaps briefly wake up after 5 hours of sleep, hop on and get the rest 2 hours of sleep in the car.

Similar, but web pages are usable before fully "installed". Data has repeated shown that users quickly abandon websites that don't load extremely fast. Apps are like that, but even slower.

It's simple, when you want to do X, you want to do X, you don't want to do a lot of setup work before you start doing X.
It's not the same thing at all. Since modern processors abstract over the physical location/layout of memory, code at any location can access data or call code at any other location. This allows you to just jump in and write your logic without worrying about how the silicon physically moves your bits around.

You simply can't do that when designing silicon. All of your transistors have to be physically connected on a 2d plane so you can't abstract over the physical location or layout of your "objects" (logical groups of transistors and how they interconnect in this case). This means that the vast majority of possible Verilog designs are impossible to physically implement because there is only a finite amount of space to route traces from one transistor to another. Writing Verilog before drawing a block diagram is like writing an embedded IoT framework in Ruby before checking whether your target microcontrollers have enough ROM/RAM to run the Ruby interpreter.

For example, if you had a stack allocated object containing a queue and you changed it to always heap allocate the queue, it would still do the same thing as before but with a different memory layout. If you did the equivalent in silicon (like move the location of a group of transistors), at best it would break your functionality and at worst it would make the design unsynthesizable. Swapping an interface to point to an implementation with a different size (I.e. switching an IQueue* to an MPSC Queue from a SPSC Queue) is a trivial change with software but when you swap a 100 transistor interface with a 1000 transistor one you have to move the blocks around it, often requiring significant changes to avoid breaking functionality.

TBH, GP's neighborhood isn't universal in the US.

I grew up in suburban Dallas, and there were sidewalks everywhere. The only neighborhoods I saw without sidewalks were older neighborhoods that always creeped me out when I was little... I always got the impression that they were dilapidated.

Here's an example from a neighborhood right near where I grew up: https://goo.gl/maps/qGSvbk4HdAM2

And even the six-lane arterials have sidewalks here: https://goo.gl/maps/DUR8mdVQysu and https://goo.gl/maps/hZ4dL3yj8F32

And for completeness, a sidewalk-less street in a nearby neighborhood: https://goo.gl/maps/TnQ8bogKttL2 -- that whole area just looks old, and the neighborhood gave me the creeps when I was a kid

After working with Apollo for a couple weeks on a non-trivial side project, I'm particularly happy with how unopinionated the library is. While it's super hip to complain about JS fatigue these days, Relay just wanted to make too many decisions. In that sense, it's a pro and a con: Relay will make more decisions for you, but will present difficulty if you've already made some of those decisions yourself.

Apollo's using Redux is great. The model and API are well understood so it's easy to bring developers on board. Relay seems to follow the same principles, but does them in its own way.

Relay is also opinionated about your server's responses. I know that the cursor pattern with edges and nodes is great for performant pagination, but then our schema has to conform to that spec and I really don't enjoy spending time explaining why we can't just get that user's photos, we have to get that user's photos' edges' nodes. Graph theory has a place, but it's not that close to the frontend, IMO.

More than anything, it seemed very easy to get up and running with Apollo. After reading lots of Relay docs, it still took a lot of experimentation and effort to get this running to begin with. I am very happy with Apollo's docs.
Right, most of the code changes Typescript performs are the equivalent of babel plugins: the closer you write to the target output version of the language the fewer changes there between the input/output. The further back compatible you try to target the more "polyfills" and reconfiguring Typescript needs to do to support the older versions of JS.

Most of Typescript's output changes when you are writing for the same version of JS that you are outputting are simply just removing the type hints from the final output.

That said, with allowJS "mixed" mode of Typescript now you can also try for a hybrid approach of JS and TS files in the same project and that hybrid approach gets more powerful and capable with each release. I think with some effort you can even get somewhat close enough to the point that you can have some Flow-like behavior by using JS for most files and .d.ts and .ts files for only the really type-dependent stuff.
Before we started building Apollo Client, we actually tried Relay, but found it difficult to adopt, so we started a community effort to build a more flexible GraphQL client. Our main goals were to make incrementally adoptable, compatible with all view layers and easy to understand/debug.

While Apollo is easier to adopt and use, it's still under active development, so it's not as stable as Relay, and hasn't been optimized for performance the way that Relay has.

disclaimer: I work on Apollo Client
Richard Wiseman of 59 Seconds face actually has a book called "The Luck Factor".

One case study is a woman who wins lots of newspaper contests - the point being that she wins lots because she puts in for lots.

Another point is perspective. You fall and break your arm. You can either perceive it as bad luck, you broke your arm, or as good luck since it could have been your neck.
Is there any way to write programs that bypass the processor's front end for most the processors in use? If not, it what sense is it true that "you can go further than assembler"?
I've been wanting to try out vue.js and have a GraphQL endpoint. Apollo seems like a Relay alternative that's not tied to React. Can anyone compare the two (Vue.js+Apollo and React+Relay)?
