Yes and no.

There are a few options I've been looking at that could yield improvements in this area.

1) Install the play store, if your chromebook supports it. Then something akin to Gnuroot Debian, and set up the environment that way. Install the package, and then forward the X11 window to something like "XServer XSDL". Tricky to explain to people, and I couldn't get it working when I tried for a few different reasons.

2) Add a side-by-side node.js server inside VS Code. This would effectively serve up the HTML/CSS/Javascript inside the window and the user could just use the web browser. By launching on boot this would have the neatest integration with Chrome OS, as you could pin to shelf and then it's just a http://localhost:XXXX URL. Even if the web content could be forwarded in this way I think re-implementing the Electron calls for the web could be a lot of work, and it probably belongs as an alternative Electron implementation I would think. The upside is that you wouldn't need dev mode as this could also run under e.g. GNURoot.

These are a couple of ideas I've had. Would be eager to get someone from Microsoft's take on it though. :-)

I don't understand the priorities of WhatsApp. I don't need video calling.

I need support for bots.

WhatsApp doesn't have it. Meanwhile, Skype, Telegram, Facebook Messenger and Google are where the action is, building great bot support. I want to use WhatsApp, but am using Skype and Telegram now to build a bot.

Bot support could also make WhatsApp viable as a business in the long run as an independent, secure service. Simply make businesses pay for bot accounts.
I'm not sure he's right at all. I'd define any equation "a" which can be re-arranged to equation "b" to be equal ie. a==b

They are the same thing. Thusly

y=3x+2

is equal to

10y-20=30x

is equal to

5y-15x=10

etc

It's been a while since uni, but I don't remember any other mathematical definition of equations being considered equal. I guess the thought is something about what is being defined in terms of what (y= vs x=) but I don't think that's a meaningful distinction between two equations.
This actually uses Crouton to create the Ubuntu environment that Code is installed into. ;-)

The locksmith analogy breaks down fast: the locksmith can enter into your house if he really tries, but Apple can not enter into your phone without your help (if it can, it's utterly broken)
I've seen several articles already that seem to amount to: "Trump said he was going to do something awful, but he's not going to do it really, or not yet." While he was going to repeal Obamacare, he's going to keep the bits that make Obamacare good, for example. And he may have a global warming denier in charge of that, but he's not going to repeal green energy subsidies (yet).

Was his whole campaign just talk in order to capture the extremist vote? I certainly welcome that he's backpedaling a bit in some areas, and I hope he continues doing that, but it doesn't exactly help his reputation as an erratic flip-flopper, and underscores that we still can't believe a word he says.

Still, better that he only says the stupid things than that he also does them.

Oh, for sure. A lot of startups don't need that ability. I work for a pretty infra heavy startup so AWS is simply required at this point. But we've hit AWS capacity limits during the worst times (one of our clusters processing 20k events/sec hit 100% utilization) and they literally had no capacity left for that instance type. It's not a perfect thing all the time.

But in the end, the pros significantly outweigh the cons. Our resource consumption is naturally extremely elastic. While we'll always need to slightly over-provision to maintain some headroom, adding/removing nodes throughout the variance saves quite a bit of $.
Forgive my ignorance, but if you're issuing certificates for internal hostnames that you want to keep private, why would you need a public cert? Wouldn't an internal CA be better?

They came in with Chrome-dev-editor and then dropped it again. https://www.infoq.com/news/2015/06/dart-github-chrome-dev-ed...

I use it on my Chromebook quite a bit. It makes for a reasonable on-the-go environment running Node on the Linux crouton side and editor, output on the ChromeOS side
Last time I tried to use a Chromebook for development (using crouton to have a proper unix environment), you had to enable developer mode. This presented a 30-second splash screen at boot saying 'press space', where pressing space would wipe your drive, resetting the machine. The machine also does this if the drive becomes too full. I can't go back until they sort these issues.
Voter suppression is much easier to pull off and much more effective if only two parties can ever get into power. If more parties are in the running, or parties have less dominant control, gerrymandering and suppression is much harder to do effectively.
>I don't advocate for imprisoning users. But we should punish manufacturers, traffickers, and dealers harshly.

It should be obvious by now that this method doesn't work and we can't just erase the habit of using recreational drugs from human history.

Humanity is a species obsessed with experimentation and exploration. We take mind-altering substances for a wide variety of reasons.
Solving problems, winding down at the end of the day, trying to get a boost of creativity, having a spiritual experience or just getting fucked up for the sake of it.

If the lawmakers really have our best interest in mind, they should concentrate on education, harm reduction and making sure the drugs people consume do not contain any other, potentially very dangerous substances.

We don't need our governments to protect us from ourselves. We need them to make sure these substances are clean, people are aware of the risks and that they have somewhere to go if they need help.

On Chromebooks:

The only performance drawback I've encountered really comes from XIWI and the X11 forwarding introducing a slight lag sometimes, which is to be expected.

In honesty though, this isn't really an issue as the underlying performance isn't hurt (it's still running natively at full speed, it's just the forwarding that would lag in that scenario).

If you were in a drawing app, a game or in something like Blender, it could be more of an issue I guess!

On Raspberry Pi:

Solid. (At least I find it to be so.) :-)
Don't worry, you did the right thing.

1900 euros/month is peanuts. Even considering that you're fresh CS graduate, you're worth more.

Also, the fact that the contract is "non-negotiable" is a huge red flag. This company doesn't respect their employees. Trust me, you don't want to work in the environment like that.

Keep looking for job, the market is huge, you'll definitely find something decent.
I tried it a couple of times. Video quality was not great. The second time I tried Duo it had weird sound issues. Was completely disappointed. Didn't use it after that.

It's a surprise since it comes from Google. Hangouts has worked more or less OK for me.

People keep saying this without realizing what is going on truely, there is two option:
1. Install crouton and use shell to Chroot to your distro (which makes most sense, became what is the reason to buy Chromebook in first place, since maybe you can buy laptop with better Linux support about same price, in this option you have your dev tools in your distro and simultaneously you enjoying your command line dev tools)
But remember you are inside chrome OS so you dont have any way to access graphic stack and run Linux GUI app, I think with recent port of Android stack to chrome OS , makes Chromebook more valuable except if you want to run something like Java Swing oe eclipse( eclipse working on web UI , named Che)

2.Use croutin to install complete stack to run Linux GUI apps too.( Honestly I don't understand rational behind this, since you don't have for example Win key in Chromebook and many other issues.)
Unfortunately, mixing and matching ends up really complicating things especially with security in mind. Many people run within a VPC and bridging to another private network is, well, I don't really want to think about it at this time.
Choice which is not offered to you by Apple. They are neither explaining what it means to give them the unlocked phone nor telling you that you have the option to wipe out the phone before handing it to them.

You are supposed to know that beforehand, and they are even discorauging you to consider that there are some issues with handing over an unlocked phone, which means 95% of their userbase are not aware that there are security implications.

Answering the question in the title: no, probably you don't.

Many developers today do not understand what a SPA is and when one should choose this architecture. Writing a client side and a server side code is more complicated task that writing just a server side code so it should be justified.

Client side code is necessary when building interactive applications like spreadsheet or when an application has to work offline or store data locally. When a website feels more like a desktop application than a plain web page. There should be reasons to complicate architecture.

Most of a web sites are just a collection of pages, not applications. Using SPA there gives no advantages. For examples, developers of this website [1] used a megabyte of Javascript and API to display a list of 10 links. I do not see a single benefit from using SPA here over serving a 5Kb HTML file with those links. Everything just got worse.

And it looks like some JS frameworks authors do not understand it too. For example, I looked at Ember documentation and saw a tutorial [2] on building a rental site. Using Ember there gives no advantages over good old server-side generated pages (optionally using github-style AJAX page reloading). This over-engineered approach just makes a website load slower, comsume more CPU and memory resources, increases complexity, complicates deployment. If they are presenting Ember as a tool to build applications they should provide an example of application, not a plain old HTML 1.0 website.

I'm someone who builds a lot of SPAs for things that really don't need to be SPAs. The ability to host on gh-pages and to not implement a backend at all seals the deal for me.

That said, I try to load a static version of the compiled result as part of the skeleton HTML. Even if it gets overwritten by the SPA afterwards, it makes things look faster.
And I need true multi-device support (not a crappy desktop client that needs your phone to be near you, connected to the Internet and using the battery). And a way of adding contacts without exchanging phone numbers.

WhatsApp has always been the worst among the major messengers (Hangouts, Telegram, Line, WeChat all have this) but the sad thing is they can do what they want. They have the network effect on their side, the masses use it, so they can get away with being light-years away from the others in features...

I didn't manage too. And I'm a bit confused since it seems simple according to other posts in this thread.
Except that you fell for the GP incompetence in geography.

The fact is that one should read everything very very carefully everywhere and try to just access bare facts and abandon everything that is purely a (journalist) opinion. It is very important to know bias of the source and understand that information is used to distort the understanding of the reality.

There are quite many people who think that they have escaped the misinformation field except they have been fallen for other carefully constructed reality.
You have to think about what your BANT is - Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. And that can change, so if you get a similar offer again, that just might be your worth. And sometimes one needs to take a bad deal to get their foot in the door. But, it's also a question of the market and the risk of a company lowballing you is that you won't take it. But ask around to get a sense of market conditions.
It is definitely doable. You can refer to this blog post by AWS (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/join-amazon-redshift-a...) to set up FDW to Redshift.

What is more exciting is you can leverage Redshift MPP architecture with this method.
A better version can be created in 5 minutes with Thymble: https://github.com/bkarst/thymble.

Clever idea though.
Storing and processing data locally in a user's browser without using server API actually can be a valid reason to build a client-side application. But they just use one megabyte of JS code to implement client-side rendering for JSON data received from API. Serving a 10 Kb HTML page is obviously a better solution. I see no single benefit from using complicated JS framework here.
too early and seems to be more like a joke I'll visit once than something useful in a job search
a) I don't really have a good enough sample size but I'd imagine a lot don't.

The biggest selling point of AWS is everything around it. You don't just get EC2, you get Route53, ELB, VPC, RDS, S3, CloudFront (although it's kinda expensive), ECS, etc... If I can pay AWS to do something instead of building it, I'll do it.
It's simple. People are oblivious or just don't give a shit.

I checked the FAQ once again: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/

Here are the exact words from Amazon:

> The Amazon RDS maintenance window is your opportunity to control when DB Instance modifications (such as scaling DB Instance class) and software patching occur, in the event they are requested or required. If a maintenance event is scheduled for a given week, it will be initiated and completed at some point during the maintenance window you identify. Maintenance windows are 30 minutes in duration.
The only maintenance events that require Amazon RDS to take your DB Instance offline are scale compute operations (which generally take only a few minutes from start-to-finish) or required software patching. Required patching is automatically scheduled only for patches that are security and durability related. Such patching occurs infrequently (typically once every few months) and should seldom require more than a fraction of your maintenance window. If you do not specify a preferred weekly maintenance window when creating your DB Instance, a 30 minute default value is assigned. If you wish to modify when maintenance is performed on your behalf, you can do so by modifying your DB Instance in the AWS Management Console, the ModifyDBInstance API or the modify-db-instance command. Each of your DB Instances can have different preferred maintenance windows, if you so choose.

Running your DB Instance as a Multi-AZ deployment can further reduce the impact of a maintenance event. Please refer to the Amazon RDS User Guide for more information on maintenance operations.
wget writes a ~/.wget-hsts file with the HSTS information for any URI you have accessed that served an HSTS header.

Making it ignore --no-check-certificate if the file has an entry for the hostname you are visiting should be trivial, if it hasn't been done already.
The HN community at some point decided to collectively turn on GitHub, because of some incident where (choose your own adventure: someone at GitHub was accidentally trying to help someone who wasn't white/male/heterosexual OR they're too busy waging identity wars to actually work OR someone with the right intentions definitely went too far, actual damage was limited, but it's the type of issue that people remember forever)

I think they collective criticism has long ago become unfair. Two reasons:

– The OSS community is currently working incredibly well. It's innovative, productive, inclusive, and the quality is excellent. Github is responsible for a large chunk of this development. Go check out sourceforge to get an idea of how it used to be. Seriously – it's like David Foster Wallace's Fish/Water metaphor: we don't know how good we have it, because there's no point of reference to compare it too.

It's also quite obvious that GitLab profits from the conceptual work done at GitHub. I'm not advocating that there should be any protection for software concepts, screen layouts etc. But I like to at least acknowledge where good ideas originated, and GitHub has had quite a few (once again: it's easy to forget after getting used to it).

I also had the experience that GL was dog-slow when I tried it. That probably changed, or I really couldn't understand anybody using it.

ah yeah, I totally missed the 'without dev mode' part of his comment, so sorry for the snark
I can bet uncompressed 10 Kb HTML file still would load faster.
What I would like to see, and they're effectively doing this already by allowing the Play Store on Chromebooks, is a sandbox INSIDE the encrypted area, but outside of the signed code.

Basically, an official container support in user space that once you enter developer mode allows you to keep the security features you have currently (signed boot-code checking, encryption), but also a restricted container that allows for native apps like this.

Then we could get rid of the Developer Mode splash screen, or at least allow it to be disabled by choice.

As someone who remembers the first Tomb Raider, it was a weird time in gaming^. I'd sum it up as everything was either 'the epitome of 2D gaming' or the first steps into 'a 3D version of {insert game concept here}'.

Laura Croft was a 3D version of James Bond and Indiana Jones' love child. The hook was that it was one of the first 3D games were things looked kind-of, sort-of, maybe-if-you-squinted-at-them realistic. And also the first 3D game that I saw with realistic translations between animation states.

It's probably a lost cause trying to explain it to people who have grown up with high fidelity graphics, but there's a certain magic to "Wow, that hedge looks like a hedge!"

The ChromeOS and Android APIs have very little of UNIX.

To critique the critic, that review, although quite cutting, seems like a clumsy attempt the channel the spirit of Roger Ebert, e.g.:

> Spice World is obviously intended as a ripoff of 'A Hard Day's Night' which gave The Beatles to the movies... the huge difference, of course, is that the Beatles were talented—while, let's face it, the Spice Girls could be duplicated by any five women under the age of 30 standing in line at Dunkin' Donuts.

Exactly. With Apple's track record, the author has every right not to trust Apple with his device's security, no less so because he is in security himself and regularly gets notified of hacks / data breaches - presumably on his phone. Australia Red Cross Blood Service and Cap Gemini being the two most recently published.

He is not being alarmist; it may only take a few rotten apples to spoil the barrel, but boy did it get spoiled.
Have you got a demo working of this?

What specifically were your reasons for using rails for it?
It's a bit clunky, but you can pull up Chrome Developer Tools on a ChromeOS device, create a workspace in Downloads, and with a bit of fiddling persuade DevTools to map the files directly to disk. Now you can use DevTools as a pretty good HTML/JS/CSS IDE with debugger integration, editing the files directly in the DevTools window with proper syntax highlighting etc.

AFAIK there isn't any way to get VCS integration (but I have a faint memory that DevTools extensions are possible?), but it's a great deal better than nothing.

...and, of course, if you dev unlock the device, you can install Crotoun and get a full Debian system side-by-side with ChromeOS. Then you can do what you like.
You are again mistaking "American liberalism" with "neoliberalism."

You are correct that economic globalization is part of "neoliberalism", but it is not part of "American liberalism." Now, you are certainly correct that Democrats espouse economic globalization, but so do economic conservatives (who are distinct from populist conservatives). This is reflective of the fact that the Democrats have drifted closer to the center over the past few decades, and are now really a centrist party, possibly center-left.

But support for unions is not neoliberalism. Support for a higher minimum wage is not neoliberalism.

You also have to be careful about the term "neoconservative." It is typically used only to describe a specific hawkish foreign policy philosophy, and has little to do with economics (and typically doesn't have anything to do with trade - but this is a blurry line).

Because rarity in and of itself doesn't confer value. Or every altcoin would be valuable.

Yes, but not only that. Use of fiat currency is made legally compulsory.

Maybe Bitcoin-demanding ransomware plays a useful role in the BTC economy, as it gives people a negative/fear-based reason to obtain BTC.
