I got the opposite problem (tabs and address bar were bigger after update), and I fixed it by changing the flag "UI Layout for the browser's top chrome" in chrome://flags from "Touch" to "Normal". Maybe this flag can also fix your problem.
chrome already has this behavior built in, start where I left off under settings.

Is this different?
I made a simple firefox/chrome extension for people that horde tabs as temp bookmarks. You might find it useful to find tabs and quickly navigate to them by clicking on the link in the list.

What's so remarkable about this piece is that it says nothing at all about this "disease of blight." What is blight?

The article reads as if everyone was expected to know. But in fact, no one seems to know. Or talk about it.

It seems pretty clear that Detroit was not reduced to ruins by a plant chlorosis. So what happened? Did the same leaf fungus attack elsewhere, or was this a Detroit-specific disease? Is there a cure -- some kind of pesticide? A gene? Will a new GMO Detroit rise again?

I'm sorry but I never liked PCL that much.

It certainly shows some impressive Lisp techniques, and surely it will impress anyone who reads it about Lisp capabilities. The PCL made me feel awe about what Lisp can do. But not about what I could do with Lisp myself.

PCL doesn't really help the reader to really understand how all that code works to the point where the reader could write it without the writer's help.

I found this book: Lisp, An Interactive Approach https://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~shapiro/Commonlisp/
a better pedagogical tool to learn Lisp, and it guides the reader all the way, tests him, and makes him write all the needed code before going to the next chapter. It's not a showcase like the PCL book, but it imparts the reader with the ability to write a similar showcase himself.

The 'An Interactive Approach' book made me grok the power of Lisp in a way no other book could. It made me feel powerful and confident about what I could do with Lisp.
I always enjoyed this take on analogies, and their consistent property of falling apart upon close consideration.

Hey thanks a lot for this! I'll try to reproduce it and fix the landing page once I have a bit of time.
I'm not trying to say you're wrong. Especially because "...so (many) nice CVE databases full of examples".

As I recall, you had six(?) defects identified on a rather significant subsystem. While that's hardly ideal, it doesn't sound like those six defects should cost that much to fix.

And I'm not trying to say I can achieve some abstract perfection - I will have the odd memory overwrite early in unit test. But SFAIK, I've caught the overwhelming majority of them. But I will also be able to spend several hours building scaffolding to flush 'em out... this is especially true of networked code. I tend to use Tcl to torture them.

I will say - all the old guys I knew who were good C coders just got out of coding pretty much altogether. When I see discussions from younger coders, based on the problems they have, I feel that there's been some loss of information.

Also - for a major release of something as big as El Capitan, 36 seems a not-unreasonable number of severe defects. Obviously, we'd prefer it was a smaller number, and we don't know how many will be found eventually.
Apple still supports 32-bit apps. Aside from memory usage and possibly performance, the difference is not noticeable to the user.

"Me too I have written such software, when working in teams of no more than two people where we taken a Pascal like approach to programming in C."

There you go. That's how I have done it as well. The degree of "Pascal-like"-ness is always .. something to be humble about. I really, really wish it had been Ada all along but that seems not to be likely.
From the starting point of being a professional Java developer and a hobbyist Haskeller, Scala should've been the perfect language for me, yet I struggle with making it past just how complicated the language is -- not really complex, as such, just over-engineered.

To me, Rust feels like the simplest possible language that could achieve their design goals, whereas Go feels like they went so far out of their way to make it simple that they lost track of the other goals altogether.
+1 to reading The Power of Habit

Meditate. There are many different ways. Find one that works for you. It is the best way to become more conscious of your habits and less reactive.
Yes, Lisp is to me language so perfectly suited to build compilers and parsers, particularly when compared with almost any other language.
Nice... but why is it faster/memory is more important to me. I suppose I could look at the changelog but it would have been nice if the post guessed why.
So... does that mean matter is still being produced? Yes, from the Ether.

Where do you take this from? To the best of our knowledge the universe does not produce new matter. Space expands but that is new empty space, not space filled with some kind of matter.
Perhaps you should start with something less subtle? Like "transcendental meditation", that will have the effect of "making it" and motivate you to dig further?
Because I'm one of the only people passionate about Rust at my job (and there are plenty who love Go), I'm often asked questions about Rust vs. Go, which actually perplexes me a little. Asking "What about Go?" when someone brings up Rust is essentially like saying "What about OCaml?"; the languages have a few similar features (as most languages do, IMO), but they have completely different goals and only a subset of shared use-cases (and again, you'll likely find at least some shared use-cases if you pick any two languages). I feel like constantly bringing up Rust and Go together confuses things more than it helps, since they really aren't that similar.

From your link:

Urban decay (also known as urban rot and urban blight) is the process whereby a previously functioning city, or part of a city, falls into disrepair and decrepitude. It may feature deindustrialization, depopulation or changing population, restructuring, abandoned buildings, high local unemployment, fragmented families, political disenfranchisement, crime, and a desolate, inhospitable city landscape.

And:

Urban decay has no single cause; it results from combinations of inter-related socio-economic conditions—including the city's urban planning decisions, tight rent control, the poverty of the local populace, the construction of freeway roads and rail road lines that bypass the area, depopulation by suburbanization of peripheral lands, real estate neighborhood redlining, and immigration restrictions.

Highly elucidating, I'm sure you'll agree! Imagine a page on potato blight that read:

Potato blight has no single cause -- it results from combinations of inter-related agricultural conditions, including...

> Given the short notice this does nothing to increase total taxi supply, but merely redistributes drivers to higher fare areas.

Firstly, I'm skeptical that surge pricing cannot be predicted in advance to some degree. The weather bureau is predicting rain at 10pm on a Saturday night - doesn't that say something about the chance of surge pricing in a nightlife area? And look at the second chart on this page [1] - the surge multiplier between 7:30am and 9:30am is fairly predictable.

Secondly, this argument ignores the long-term changes to supply. Surge pricing increases the pay of drivers, so over the long term there will be more drivers signing up (even if it didn't bring out more drivers at surge times)

Lastly, even if supply was completely fixed and surge pricing simply redistributed drivers to higher fare areas, doesn't that lead to efficiencies which are shared between driver, rider and Uber? If I'm late for a job interview, I want to be able to outbid an old lady who is going to the supermarket to do her weekly grocery shopping. My gain will be larger than her loss.

I'm developing a tablet application which is extremely form-dense. It's replacing a paper form which contains approx. 200 data entry fields.

I'm not saying that in this specific case it's wrong to collect the data.

I'm saying that to "avoid evil" in the future it is insufficient for current developers to be ethical now.

You need to build systems that actively make it difficult, so that it takes persistence and intent to overcome if you want to do something bad whenever possible. Force people to face that they are putting in effort to bypass restrictions and breaking rules to do what they want to do, instead of "just" accessing data that are readily available to them, and far more will question the justification for requests they are given.
An update after I dug into this a bit - turns out this has been resolved by many of the AV vendors, so updating from Bitdefender 2016 to Bitdefender 2017 (should be free if your Bitdefender install is connected to "Bitdefender Central" - just sign in, click the Install button at the top right to download the newer installer, then install to do the upgrade).

William Gibson Overdrive
Largest ever report into European startup scene
Yep start small... not quite a year ago I started with just a Saturday class. About three months later I added another, and a month later, one more. Attend consistently except for the week I am on call. During call week I workout at home to YouTube videos and follow the similar HIIT/cardio-weight mix classes that I do in the gym on the SAME schedule. Strong results (belly smaller but seems to have reached steady state), fat loss else where, but not much weight loss. Resting pulse down by 6 beats/min.

Getting injured... nothing breaks routine and depresses you like this one. I got one earlier on doing jumping jacks - it was the achilles. Fortunately it preceded my call week and I recovered in a quick 3 weeks - which was surprising. So I missed at most 1 week. Never did jumping jacks again and always use the alternatives... in fact I take all the starter options I am given.

To add to your second point. I have more 'bad days' than good... shouldn't this stuff get easier? Some days I cannot finish some routines; just don't have the energy. But I always feel good leaving the gym. Getting to the gym is more than 80% of the battle - there are usually competent people at gym to take you the last 20%. Don't compare yourself with others - concern yourself with your factors.

I did not set out to change my eating habits. However seeing decent gains, I started asking myself if I need that extra item I crave. I often give in to the ask, but it is not without questioning myself. I am not the best when it comes to dietary self control, so, for now, this is my approach. Hopefully down the road I will question myself more, and eventually, give in less.
The actual article belies the headline, and supports instead the same notion that most recent reporting has supported, which is that Apple has given up on building entire cars, but still may be interested in building software for said cars.

Agree, which is why buying from whoever is cheapest are rarely the best choice.

Take Sweden. The loss of farming is causing a significant decrease in open fields, endangering several species who need that kind of habitat. Beef produce in Sweden is also about twice as expensive than the cheapest imported beef, so it becomes a price issue. This where certification can do a good job in guiding consumers to choose producers that in a local context has a net positive on the environment.
Are there really a lot of "shared use cases" between Rust and Go?

I realize that Go's creators intended for it to be a systems language. In practice though, it has found its niche in web apps or microservices, and command-line apps in the DevOps world. Rust is primarily aimed toward real-time applications that can't tolerate garbage collection latency.

Of course they're both general-purpose languages in theory. But in the real world, one is really competing with Java and Python while the other is competing with C++. I don't even see Go and Rust as head-to-head competitors at all... and I definitely don't understand their uni-directional "feud" (i.e. nearly every Rust thread is has people taking shots at Go, yet most Go threads don't mention Rust at all).
Thanks. This is why I love HN for finds like this, after poking around a bit this site looks like a really good blog that doesn't hype AI nor deny it which is congruent with my views.

No -- what's strange is that a monumental historical event, which happened in the lives of those now living, and caused immense destruction and immense sorrow to many human beings, is not attributed to any clear cause, or human institution, or organization, or even ideology.

Unlike potato blight, which is caused by one or more well-described organisms whose DNA can even be sequenced.

This is very much the kind of intentional forgetting practiced by many post-genocidal societies. It's very similar to the way Indonesians remember the 1965 massacres, or even the way Chinese remember the Cultural Revolution. There's simply a broad social agreement that "we don't talk about these things."

While I understand the need to use other data structures (and even in Lisp, I would not use cons pairs for everything), I think "stupid cons pairs" is pretty extreme.

If you don't understand why cons is important, and the appropriate places to use it, then you really don't understand Lisp.
