There's RISC OS Pico. It's a cut-down version of RISC OS for the Raspberry Pi, without the GUI layer. It boots straight into Basic.

http://weblambdazero.blogspot.ch/2015/11/modern-micro-with-r...

It looks like this, and anyone who grew up with the BBC Micro will instantly recognise it:

RISC OS 192MB
ARM1176JZF-8 Processor
Piccolo Systems SDFS
ARM BBC BASIC VI (C) Acorn 1989
Starting with 97040636 bytes free
>_

That's also Acorn's structured Basic, with fast named procedures and multiline control statements, so it's actually reasonable for writing real programs in. It's pretty much COMAL. There's no structured types, unfortunately --- it's still a 1980s language --- but you get still get instant feedback that a traditional micro gave you (and the traditional Basic IDE experience, but I believe they also include the full-screen editor).

I use React all the time and don't currently work on a single SPA. Most of the time they are composable widgets that spit out hidden tags on a form. Even for simple things, React is usually much easier for me to reason about than the old jQuery way of transforming data and then transforming your DOM separately (or even worse, transforming your DOM, which is the same as your data).

As a library, its comparable in size to jQuery, which is pretty much ubiquitous these days.

I'd like to take a moment to point out, as was done in the article, that receiving this award is further validation that electric cars are becoming mainstream. We can compare it to an upcoming competitor (the Model 3) but at the end of the day, they're vying for positions on the same team. That being said, a lot of this felt like an advertisement as another poster mentioned.

One thing I would like to see is better charger standardisation now that Tesla has its own apparebtly faster but non-standard alternative.

Friends just moved out of Amsterdam after having kids because they didn't want to raise kids in the neighbourhood where they lived. I couldn't think of a better neighbourhood to raise my kids than the one I live in. Tons of friends live nearby, lots of neighbours with children in the same age group. I wouldn't want to raise my kids in the dreary suburban town I grew up in.

But I live in a more expensive neighbourhood of Amsterdam than those friends. I can imagine if you can't afford that, suburbia become a lot more attractive.

He could have read the paper without paying attention to the authors names, or he could have forgotten them. I certainly have forgotten the names of various authors of papers and books I have read, even those that made an impact on me. When I happened across more of their works years later, I thought I'd never heard of them.

I actually have a concrete example of this. I recently had my attention drawn to David Chapman's Masters and PhD theses and some of his other works. I thought I'd never heard of him, but then I realized he was the editor of How to do research at the MIT AI lab, which I've read a bunch of times, and still return to on occasion.
Most electric cars lack a variable-ratio transmission. At some point and you only have the final drive to reduce the speed of the electric motor.

The final drive has to strike a balance between torque for negotiating inclines and top speed, as the electric motor cannot rev to infinity, neither can the power systems handle infinite power though them.

An electric car with a two-ratio gearbox would be ideal for both taking off from a standstill and top speed.
The stories and themes in HR and MD are certainly ambitious compared to most games - unfortunately the writing simply isn't up to the task. I don't know whether it's due to lack of skill, prioritization, resources, or perhaps courage to really say something original or controversial.

And that, starting from the pretty ludicruous premise that most conspiracy theories are actuall true!

I think it's important to teach kids that achievement takes serious effort, and that making a blob move around the screen is so much more important than reaching the top of the leaderboard in Call of Duty - which according to my son, many kids just don't get.

I suppose it's a lack of imagination, combined with laziness, which has been reinforced by decades of "Make learning fun!" and "Science is easy!" slogans that the government education tzars love to produce.

He does give feedback, if you take a look at LKML he's only "rude" to the repeating offenders, not those who make a one-time honest mistake, but rather to those who got too comfy to actually review the code they're sending to Linus as "reviewed".

I am not saying Linus is always right, but if you actually follow his reasoning, it makes a great amount of sense.

If they heavily compared it with the Tesla, it would be a sign that the technology isn't ready for mainstream adoption.

Only enthusiasts set on buying an EV will sit down and compare the two given the 2x price difference. For most, the purchasing decision will be squarely against petrol vehicles in the same class.
On the other hand, Trump manifestly knows how to get things done, just not in the government domain.

The thing that gives me hope for better than "90% DOA" is that he also doesn't play by the current, or perhaps previous rules of the game, e.g. obsequious bowing to political correctness.

Hmmm, let's see if he can kill off the Senate Launch System, he's made that a very explicit and reasoned goal (get NASA out of the "logistics" game), it's the right thing to do, but of course the pork barrel types in the Congress will resist. Strenuously.

Also don't judge failure too soon, i.e. I think there's a serious chance he'll run against a "Do Nothing Congress" in 2018 and no doubt beyond to eject enough of the GOPe in it who already hate him with a passion anyway.

Ah, if you want to help this, call your House rep early today, in an hour and half or so, and tell him not to vote for Ryan as speaker.
"For Chromebooks" is rather misleading. It would be better titled, "For ARM-based Linux distros". The setup installation includes the following:

Download crouton.
Create a chroot on the local device based on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr).
Install Visual Studio Code into the chroot.
Install git into the chroot.

So it's not natively compiled for Chromebooks as a Chrome/Android app. Instead you're just installing crouton and then putting Ubuntu onto it. With all due respect to these guys, crouton has been around for some years[0]: I had it installed on my Samsung ARM Chromebook in 2012 and used it for coding.

It's also worth noting that putting your Chromebook into Developer Mode will wipe the device, so if you decide to do this, make sure all your local files are backed up first.

The usual pipeline looks something like this:

Dev -> QA -> Ops

or

Idea -> Design -> Build -> Test -> Deploy -> Maintain

For example, Infrastructure Operations used to be responsible for providing a Test environment, now developers can test without Ops because tools like GitLab automatically provision test environments on demand (and then destroy them when they are no longer needed). You still need Ops to take care of that CI system, but you don't need as many personnel.
Heck, or they even have cooperation from Apple. Apple claims they dont have a backdoor, and the FBI moans that they can't hack current iPhones.

But honestly, who can ensure to me that there is no national security letter (or other mechanism I don't know about) forcing Apple to cooperate, with a gag order forcing them to keep silent?

Who can ensure me that the NSA et al have are not bribing, blackmailing, or using court orders on the three or four vocal security experts I can name (like Bruce Schneier, tptacek, Moxie Marlinspike, ...). Everything they say on this topic might be manipulated, who knows.

There could be backdoors everywhere, in apps, hardware, routers, lamps, whatever. Occam's razor suggests that this is crazy, but then people found spam sending wifi chips in clothes irons, so I guess nothing is too far fetched.

If you suspect "they" might be out to get you, the only thing you can really do is to stay under the radar, and hope they don't notice you and target you individually.

for a while now, liberalism has held an "ends justify the means" sort of attitude towards victims stories, out of context gender statistics, and "grassroots" activism. (conservatism has too, but that wasnt the question posed.)

obviously not all attacks are fake, and there is a lot of hate in the country. but a lot of sensationalized stories come out, that basically exist as propaganda, and spread like wildfire, without being fact checked. how many of you saw this link on facebook? how many of its stories are untrue? https://twitter.com/i/moments/796417517157830656?lang=en

if you stick to huffingtonpost & salon, and all the clickbait derived from their sphere, it really could be as manufactured and fake as the right, it just feels more real because the stories are more plausable.

Deus Ex got me at the perfect time in my life (15 y/o pseudo-intellectual nerd) so I really loved the game, so reading this was great. Such was my nerd infatuation with this game, that as I was reading about the various locations, the corresponding music would pop into my brain almost immediately, a testament to the great soundtrack (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FZ-12a3dTI )

Especially interesting is seeing how the times and what we expect from videogames have changed, on page 23 there's a dejected nod to people expecting a 90s first person game to have multiplayer, even though it's primarily a single player RPG, but they'll do it as a bullet point to go on the back of the box.
While I agree the tone of the article is a paid ad, the reason you can't compare it to a model 3 is because the model 3 doesn't exist yet. Comparing it to a Model S is ok in the sense that you _can_ compare a Cessna 172 to a Learjet, but why? Different markets, different price points.
> Yup. A lot of media organizations endorsed Clinton over Trump.

Pretty hard to endorse Trump, given that he's a crooked racist and narcissist, a sexual predator, a pathological liar, and wholly unqualified for any public office. Given what he said in his speeches, not many companies would even hire him.

As a result, even Republican newspapers broke with tradition and endorsed HRC, except for one Las Vegas paper owned by one of Trump's backers.

> I find it hard to believe that no bias exists, and I think a lot of journalists try to be objective, with varying success.

There's a strong bias towards getting the truth reported, which is why the leading newspapers have trained journalists, fact checkers, subeditors etc, plus ombudsmen to handle complaints.

If you have the facts then you can argue about causes and solutions, and you might have (say) a more Democratic or a more Republican approach to those. Those opinions may involve denying at least some of the facts, but people generally choose the outlets that suit their own opinions.

The problems start when news outlets no longer care about facts, like Fox News, Breitbart, Drudge etc. Fox actually argued in court that it wasn't obliged to tell the truth because it was an entertainment channel.

I can't see any way this company is going to succeed. I wouldn't even think about staying without engineering a change in management, which it sounds like would require ejecting the worst of the 2 founders, assuming the other isn't also inherently a non-stay the course micromanager. And "that trick never works".

Note also their response to the this catastrophic, frequently company ending debacle; if they don't take it absolutely seriously, and as their fault, leave, the company is just not going to make it. "You can't fix stupid" is I think the maxim there.
