I think it's just a legacy thing - historically, the only things that needed grounding were static appliances like fridges, washing machines and air conditioners. The manual in our fridge has this instruction for earthing http://mayoyo.tokyo/jIe.jpg

I need to revise my comment that "I don't think I've ever seen a three-prong outlet in Japan", because now that I have power sockets on my mind, I just saw a three-prong outlet at my gym. So I guess newer buildings have them.
The only people Trump has promised to deport are those here illegally, so I'm assuming that the friends you mention are illegal immigrants, whose mere presence in the country is a crime. Is it so much to ask visitors to our country to follow our laws?

I've traveled to a lot of countries. Every country I visit, I read and follow the laws of the country, including visa and immigration rules. Many of these laws I disagree with it find morally repugnant. Forgive me if I don't cry any tears for your deported criminal friends.
Setting up a build, testing and development toolchain on open source projects is often a nightmare.

They all have world-class natural harbors. That was far more important for transportation purposes even 60 years ago (and certainly when these cities were established) than it is today. Population centers formed around places where large quantities of goods and people could be shipped from. And that meant harbors.

Good harbors used to create economic powerhouses and centers of immigration, which in turn created large dense cities. The sort of large dense cities that people naturally chose to build when unregulated but that modern policies prohibit (or at least pose obstacles to) in places that are not yet that dense.

Similarly, NY and Boston are situated on and partly limited by major rivers, which provided access to the interior in a time when travel by boat was much faster than over land. You'll find the same is the case for almost every major non-coastal city in the US and worldwide. That was less of an issue for SF, which grew in the railroad era.

There are of course many obstacles to attracting people to a NEW city. But specific types of geography that happen to typically be limited by water are no longer crucial to making a city dense. Access to ocean shipping is helpful, but it's now viable to import and export over land to and from a harbor town.

Edited to add: Boston isn't really a peninsula. The reason these cities are dense is largely about developing prior to the car. LA could be nearly as dense as Boston if it weren't so car-dependent. If it had become a major population center prior to the advent of the car it would have had to be by necessity.

People built dense because of limits on how far one could realistically travel on foot or by equine-powered means. That limited the size of a city far more effectively in Boston than geography did (this is also reflected to a degree in LA's older downtown).

New York was able to grow beyond downtown and midtown Manhattan largely because of rapid transit (elevated rail later displaced in favor of subways) but even that has limits that kept the city dense. (One of those limits of course being that it was less likely to get built in areas that weren't yet at least somewhat dense.)

Think how long it would take to ride from an outer LA suburb to its downtown in a mule cart. That density-enforcing function doesn't apply to the same degree when you have an automobile.

BUT there are limits on how long people are willing to travel to get places, be it by foot or by car. Even in LA, we're reaching the limits of car-enabled sprawl.
> they've been rejected by the development community at large

I remember the time when everybody was getting one of these: https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=pfu_keyboards,hh...

Apple tinkering with the function keys has allowed the development community to recongratulate themselves with IDE it seems.

Seems also that people confidently touch type debugger instruction, despite the key that you want being literally squeezed between 2 keys that will ruin you debugging session and make you lose the next 10 minutes.

I think the developer community at large is more prone to overreaction.

Note that I think people are going to be impacted. I think the touchbar is a downgrade for people that needs to use Windows either in the VM or Bootcamp. Some IDE are especially F-keys happy like Eclipse will be slightly worst of.

I still type on an old MBP with physical F-keys and they are actually awful for touch typing. They are smaller, evenly spaced (no grouped) and not aligned with the lower key rows. If you are serious about touch typing potentially workflow ruining key combination like debugger ones, you must use an external keyboard already.
For one, iOS keychain won't let me see items itself, or their full descriptions. It only allows to paste Safari website passwords. At least I haven't found how to do more than that.

> I can’t help them and I’ve learned over the years that just trying to explain how I have nothing to do with the product they’re using is often just too time consuming and energy draining to be worth it.

You could write out a form response once, then just send it to everyone, and not respond to follow-ups. Not that you have to, of course, but it shouldn't be energy draining, at least.
Most features are very good. My favorite ones are range-based loops, lambdas, and strongly-typed enums.

The things I dislike most are pairs and tuples. They make the code enormously harder to read, understand and debug, compared to non-standard classes or structures with meaningful member names. Even this guide promotes them in “using Coordinate = std::pair<int, int>;” Please, never do that, create your own class with x/y or latitude/longitude instead.

Trust me, WW1 in Europe makes the American Civil War look like a nice picnic with the kids in a park.
Static linking can also make the executable a lot bigger, and if the statically linked library uses new APIs, won't run on older Windows versions (I know about the special XP support option, but I don't know if it'll let you create binaries that will run on Win95.)

The other option (which I believe MinGW uses) is to link with msvcrt.dll, something which MS doesn't officially support and rather strongly discourages but actually works very well in practice and enables the "one binary for Win95 to Win10" effect.
I bought a MBP in April this year. It was my first Mac. I am quite happy with it, the retina screen & touchpad are really good, but I don't think my next one will be a MBP.
Windows has now the Windows Linux Subsystem and it is actually quite good for Linux development on Windows. (I manually updated it to 16.04). I don't need Cygwin anymore and it compiles to ELF format. I don't know if Microsoft will keep it but if the goal is to attract developers who deploy on Linux, it might attract all the ones that cannot migrate to Linux due to proprietary apps or don't want to tweak their system.
I recently tried to use Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10) as my primary desktop (once again I think I tried every year since year 2000) but still failed having 2 screens supported with 2 graphic cards, bluetooth headset being connected and sound through HDMI.
There's no killer app for me on the Mac (I don't use GarageBand or final cut pro), maybe I miss the viewer that is nice for pdf pages re-ordering or pdf merging (could not find free equivalent on Windows).
In what way are self driving cars different from Taxis/Uber? Why are the people who own cars today preffer to share them when they become self-driving?

I ask as someone who doesn't own and doesn't want to own a car. Where I live, public transport is good, and even taking a Taxi everyday is cheaper than car ownership if you only use it for your commute (not by much, but it's competitive). Still people love to own and use their cars. I would love to see people share them, but I fail to see how self-driving would be an incentive for that.

Thwy accept German EC cards, which is an entirely seperate network from MasterCard and Visa (and it's the E in EMV).

Mostly because their fees are even 10 times lower than MasterCard's debit card fees.
No, the correct step is finding people to join his cause. Doing otherwise is being dumb, not serious.
Trams require a different sort of infrastructure to install and maintain and are less flexible than a bus system.

Busses use much more of the existing infrastructure, which is one of the main reasons cities struggle to get a tiny segment put in. Busses are also much more adjustable to the city's needs. You can increase and decrease frequency on routs - or change routes by moving stops. Construction? Adjust routes. One bus down? Off the the mechanic and replace it with one of the backups.

And I'm not sure that would have helped parking and car ownership in the US. For some time, part of the dream was to own a car. A car meant freedom and it often still does as the us, as a whole, lacks decent public transportation outside of the larger cities. Sometimes the busses are stopped before the bars close, for example. Traveling from city to city? Good luck or prepare to be majorly inconvenienced. (overnight layovers, for example).

Xamarin has unfortunately muddled their branding.

Xamarin Forms is not Xamarin, it is a DSL. You do not need to use it. At its core Xamarin is c# with pinvoke to the underlying native platform implementation. You'll still need that platform knowledge but now you can share the core business logic between platforms.

To get maximum code share you'll need a MVVM framework such as ReactiveUI which is based on the Reactive Extensions and modeled on functional reactive principals check out https://github.com/reactiveui/ReactiveUI/releases/tag/7.0.0 or http://reactiveui.net
I don't even see an option in Firefox ESR 45.4.0 to disable 3rd party cookies.

I find this a little different than your examples since it is government forcing your actions within the private market, not forcing you to pay for its bundle of services. There is no cost to the system to stop doing this one, it just would make car drivers as frustrated as dog owners when they shop for an apartment in a metro area.

Given how much funding already goes to roads I would say enough is enough. But there is a risk of more long distance commuters, and it is hard to claw back the subsidies that make them.
Bought into idealogically speaking.

I think the 'reason' is a rationalisation and not hard and fast, it's also culture-specific so hardly transcendent. That's why I take issue with the idea of replacing one signal with the other - the worth of tge signal is entirely subjective and the signal itself is rather out of place in the modern world.

Yes, but only Xamarin, not xamarin forms.
Of cause. My point is that so many business applications are Windows Forms, and will continue to be so for many years to come.

Removing WinForms will disenfranchise a large group of developers, that for one reason or another, it could just be stubbornness, won't switch. Microsoft will sooner kill of WPF than WinForms, to not lose those developers. At least that's my belief.

But we're talking for desktop applications only.
One really nice feature that Django has that is rare and well done is the password upgrading workflow. Not only do they let your app support multiple algorithms at the same time (with one preferred), they also let you chain algorithms during upgrade [0], so if you have a legacy database with all SHA1 passwords, you can upgrade all of them to PBKDF2. At first these will all be PBKDF2(SHA1(pw)), and they will get migrated to just PBKDF2(pw) as users log in, if you set PBKDF2 to your preferred algo.

Note that of course the password algorithms are typed, so this doesn't cause a problem in the corner case that a user's password is a sha1 hash of something else.

I don't think you and I mean the same thing when we say "theory". Here's Wikipedia's definition [1], which is pretty standard:

"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed, preferably using a written, pre-defined, protocol of observations and experiments. Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge."

There is of course no such thing for intelligence; if there were, general artificial intelligence would be a mere implementation problem. It is anything but.

As for "metrics", I guess you mean IQ tests. But being able to measure a manifestation of a thing (e.g. "this mineral affects photographic plates at a distance") is far from identical to having any understanding of that thing (e.g. nuclear physics).

This is very good in general. Now if they only could make a version for Linux and get rid of this whole "application barrier" thinking. Microsoft would probably be the only company right now who could fight the walled garden, developer lock-in approach that continues to destroy personal computing.

But if the past holds any indication for the future, then I'm not holding my breath for it. They'll probably just use the Mac version to introduce slight incompatibilities or make the Mac versions of existing products kind of slower and buggier than the Windows versions. :(
But Brazil would not exist without that foundation of violence. Do you think that if the Portuguese hadn't invaded Brazil would still somehow exist?
> Startups are overdosing on ambition these days

I was turned down recently by several EARLY STAGE investors on the basis that the Total Addressable Market (TAM) of our first target niche is only in the hundreds of millions while they only invest in billion dollar opportunities (ideally you should also have a proven product market fit or be profitable or both, you know, early stage). Trying to explain, that this is only the first niche we want to target and once we will have users we can experiment with ways to monetize them, didn't help either.
...But DOSBox and wine play all of this software better than this thing does. It had well-established, free, more compatable competition.

This would be inconsequential if this was a free utility which wasn't being sold as a commercial product, but it's not. It's a full commercial product, and if it's not better than freeware in it's main focus area, that's a problem.

It's more complicated than that. When I put on my tin foil hat (listen to that crinkling...) I wonder if the old redistributive working class left wasn't deliberately undermined by a push towards a more abstract, more divisive, and less politically coherent academic/intellectual left which focused on tokenism and identity politics over economic enfranchisement.

It's not so much that civil rights and feminism weren't important - because they were. It's more that at some point the third-wayers pushed hard to make them more important than fundamental concerns about class and economic inequality.

The latter affected much larger numbers of voters and ignoring the issues made the left much weaker as a political force.

The reason I'm suspicious is because this is the line taken by some supposedly left-wing newspapers like The Guardian in the UK, and also the DNC in the US.

Whatever the motivation, the political effect is always to keep economic populism off the policy table.

Trump has promised to change that, and voters like that idea. But of course he won't. Given his background and connections, there is no chance at all that he's going to be a firebrand economic populist.

The absolute best his voters can expect is some token payback projects. But he's mostly just going to keep using race and immigration as a misdirection from the problems caused by the establishment's economic policies.

What If? – this time by Mr.Holla
I predict synthetic meat will be hugely successful simply because it avoids all the gross parts of dead animals. No blood, no connective tissue, no risk of abscesses or parasites, no worries about cross-contamination, the exact same size every time. If I can buy a sterile and perfectly uniform slab of synthetic muscle and marbled fat, to me that's a better product than natural meat. I don't even care if it tastes slightly worse. Put some ketchup on it and it'll be good enough.

"Inferior" technology very often wins because of convenience. People preferred LCDs to CRTs long before they'd caught up with CRT image and motion quality. Touch screen phones are more popular than those with physical keyboards. More people use ballpoint pens than fountain pens despite the higher writing pressure and lack of flexibility in ink choice. Synthetic meat can be the ultimate convenient meat and that's enough to make up for a lot of other flaws.
Indeed. smiles wryly

It sounds like you're basing this argument on hearsay and not personal experience (shocker.) I have various audio setups with different macs and interfaces and no OS update has broken anything with my setups since 10.6 era.
I always wonder about that when people talk about these things. I think the reason is that Keychain Access isn't well advertised and a bit obscure, so most people are simply not aware that there is already a thing that does that on every Mac, with (optional) cloud sync and a standard API used by almost everything on the system (including ssh and Safari -- and Firefox with an extension).
