If by framework you mean web framework, I've used Dropwizard. It's a lean and mean modern-java option, and it's not a Kotlin native thing (you do have these). You can use any Kotlin or traditional Java framework out there transparently (that's a good value of Kotlin).

For ORM, Dropwizard and its ecosystem got you covered.

Also dropping out to Java when ever you want can be done in the same project (which I encouraged) seamlessly both in terms of how Java and Kotlin interoperate, and in terms of Intellij, which is first-class in both languages because Kotlin is Jetbrains' baby, and, because Java has been best supported by Intellij for ages (can't really find that kind of thing anywhere else).
Yes and in my observations from life erratic driving and riders exiting inappropriately apply to taxis as well. Double parking for pickup is the new problem (not so much drop off). But that's a result of app based hailing and would apply to traditional taxis as well when responding to such hails (e.g. Flywheel). I see it more as a significant bike lane issue than a significant contributor to car congestion. Remember that easy and good taxi service reduces the motive to drive independently downtown, which reduces traffic.

Is there an Android sample app that show how to do I/O properly (off the main thread, and so on)?

I know there's some kind of system to prevent network I/O on the main thread... w... why... I dare to ask the obvious, w-wwhy isn't there a warning for simple disk I/O too?

You said if someone was to publish a search engine for illegal truths they would be jailed in the EU.

You are continually framing the right to silence others as some sort of right.

You ought to note that such rights normally derive from obligations to those whom you entrusted your data in the first place.

Your doctor nor his staff may share your medical information. Either explicitly in an agreement or implicitly by law you gained the right to expect that your information remain confidential when you became his patient.

When you mug someone and break their face no amount of jail time and rehabilitation obliges your victim nor society at large to silence.

You imagine all of society possesses an obligation that rightly attaches only to those with relevant relationships like employee/employer, doctor patient etc.

You cannot attach such an obligation without grossly limiting freedom and such an obligation attached to no human right I can imagine.

Your position isn't merely badly thought out its morally wrong. If you can no longer discuss it then I'll drop it.

You're ignoring the main factor: cost.

I agree.

But I think someone's opinion on this will differ depending on where they fit on the political spectrum.

Right-wing thinks MSM has liberal bias - would rather people avoid it.

Left-wing wants people to consume more MSM - vice-versa.
That's not what this is about.

It erupted across every news channel precisely as Pizzagate did. If you searched on Google News for "Pizzagate", what you would get was "FAKE NEWS!" "FAKE NEWS!" "FAKE NEWS!"

The MSM hasn't been this desperate since it was shrieking to high heaven there was no chance in any universe in which Donald Trump could possibly win the US election. Whether this is because the MSM is desperate to cover up this issue - like the Pizzagate investigators allege - or there is some other coordinated motive at play (like not losing control of the narrative), its obvious the campaign is coordinated and aimed at some specific desired outcome, one way or the other.

Pizzagate itself is just a mountain of circumstantial evidence. Circumstantial evidence is not necessarily evidence of a crime, and often leads people looking at it to jump to incorrect conclusions. But trying to sweep it under the rug with frantic cries of "FAKE NEWS!!1!" does nothing but make conspiracy theories grow.

There are some extremely strangely-worded emails that came out of John Podesta's Wikileaks. All kinds of bizarre pictures on Comet Ping Pong's Instagram. They use code words identified by the FBI as pedophile code words - but it could be coincidence. One of the neighboring pizza restaurants to Comet Ping Pong had an FBI-identified pedophile symbol in its logo (since removed) - but it could be coincidence.

What a real journalist would do is say, "Huh. There's a lot of odd circumstantial evidence here. Let's get to the bottom of this and either rule it out or see what questions are still on the table."

What the MSM is doing instead is taking down articles on high level pedophile rings, like this one that no longer exists on NY Times:

http://archive.is/uq4oF

Then trying to tar and feather anyone who asks questions as a "Fake News" personality.

I don't know if there's any merit to the claims around Comet Ping Pong and the Podestas. It could just be some people are REALLY into pizza and when they talk about having small children in pools as entertainment those kids are there to sing Christmas carols or something. But the MSM's frantic efforts to drown it out by screaming about "fake news" is the Streisand Effect in action. They're giving anyone who wants to believe in a conspiracy even more reason to think there is some deep cover up that extends to the highest levels, and giving this thing legs it wouldn't have if John Podesta broke his tweet silence and just said, "This is all ridiculous and none of it is true," or the MSM did an investigative piece that conclusively explained away the things the Internet sleuths pursuing Pizzagate are hoisting up as evidence of a conspiracy.
I recently got a Dell UltraSharp UP2516D, it's great, also because I stay quite close to it. At work I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2715H, I stay like 10 cm further away. I don't see much difference even if one is 25" and the other is 27". I can not recommend them enough, my macbook air's display seems tiny now :D

These are good alternatives until you are building a large house, where you have, say 300 switch legs, 90 dimmers, 75 keypads, etc. You start to realize Lutron is your friend.
It's very difficult to relate to conventional CPUs because the model is so different; each of those DSP engines could be said to correspond to a lane in a SIMD instruction. However, they're usually set up for integer maths rather than floating point. So you could say that it's equivalent to 1,700 Pentiums running MMX instructions. But it's still limited to one or maybe two DRAM interfaces, so your data has to be very "local" and preferably streaming through the system to get that kind of throughput.
I agree. Ignoring bad news for the sake of feeling a bit better surely isn't a sign of being adult and mature.

However, I also believe that TV news and constant news checking are unnecessary and can make you depressed. You can easily get a wrong perception of mankind in general and the stupidity of other people by consuming too much news. This happened to me recently with news about Trump and the composition of his new government, for example. I genuinely got depressed from this. So I've limited my exposure a bit. It's not as if I won't find out who's in the new government anyway, and I don't need to hear about obviously stupid tweets, deliberate ignorance of facts and involuntary attempts to lead the world to WW3 every day. (What makes me depressed is ignorance, especially deliberate ignorance, not other other political views, and I'm sure I speak for many people in saying so.)

I've also found out that newspapers and their websites are much better than TV channels and their websites, so I'm now surfing to the Washington Post from time to time to keep me informed. Since I'm not living in an English-speaking country, subscribing to a good English international newspaper in paper form is a bit too expensive for me, but I've also found out that the International New York Tribune (formerly International Herald Tribune) is a great printed source for the weekend, and it's available at every international newsstand in the world. It's informative but not so long that you spend a whole afternoon on it. My girlfriend loves it and buys it all the time.

As for a bias of news, sorry I can't confirm that at all. Every news source is and always has been politically biased in one way or another, but in my experience the only people who complain about this are those who are unable to distinguish news from opinion and are heavily biased themselves.
I guess it depends on what kind of developers you think of. Unless you're developing macOS or iOS Software why bother with an inferior software eco system? Brew is a hot mess. MacPorts is slow as fuck.
If there's a Tarsnap outage because I screwed something up, I give Tarsnap users a credit to their accounts... without waiting for them to complain.

Apparently this is unusual. I can't imagine doing it any other way; I mean, who wants to deal with thousands of emails from customers who are owed account credits?
1. Deliver just a little more than they expect. Most times when we write a web app for enterprise customers, we try and give them a little bit of extra functionality than they ask for. One example is the user profile settings for their sign on to our web apps - most customers are only bothered with having a username and password, but we often incorporate things like ability to choose avatar images or upload their own images against their profile.

We did this on one education site we developed, and also gave them the ability to choose from about a dozen 'stock' cartoon style avatars if they didn't want to upload their own images. The users were impressed at the handover training session we ran, but I overhead one guy (who was indigenous Australian aboriginal descent) jokingly remark that the stock avatars didn't have a person of indigenous culture represented.

I took note of that, and when I returned to the office, we added a handful of indigenous avatars as well within the hour. Client was happy that we went the extra mile to take their offhand comment seriously and deliver on it.

2. Saying 'No' to 'easy money' projects. We've worked with some of our clients for over 20 years now. Mainly because often when they come to us to add on features to their custom written apps, we often say 'No', along with some valid data to explain why we thing the $$$ sunk into the added feature are of very little benefit.

This has lead to them trusting us a LOT more when we go the other way. Real world case study - we had one client, whom we developed a short term loan application for, ask us to add a Monday morning report with customer mobile numbers so they could do a ring around check for customers who were about to default on their loans.

I said 'Sure, but lets go one better'. I said that along with the report, it wouldn't take much extra work to actually have the system send out an SMS message to all those clients as well, with details on their upcoming defaults, and what they needed to do to fix the issue.

They were delighted and said to go for it. Well, that was two years ago, and it turns out that the SMS messages by themselves have reduced their default rate by an incredible amount, and they are FAR more profitable as a result. Hmm, maybe I should have asked for a percentage of profit increase as my payment! :)

One way is to be a California employee, where the labor law explicitly protects your side projects as long as you aren't using your employer's resources and isn't related to your day job. If you decide to take something Big Time and make a startup around one of your ideas, California also conveniently ignores non-compete agreements. These two things are why Silicon Valley exists in California and nowhere else.
He's saying that if the "suspect" is NYT, then his logic fails because they're reporting on their own fake news.

There are basically a shitload of datacenters in Frankfurt so I won't talk about every DC, but more of a general overview. It doesn't matter what your budget is or what your requirements are, you will find a DC in Frankfurt.

You basically have the big brands like Equinix (7 facilities in Frankfurt), Interxion (They are currently building their 11th facility in Frankfurt), Telecity (now part of Equinix) but also some local ones like e-Shelter, First Colo or Accelerated. There is also a DC only meters away from the Interxion campus that is called Interwerk and is basically the cheapest DC in Frankfurt, but it has an awesome price/performance ratio and you have access to all peering/transit options of Interxion (via CWDM) and can get a 1/1 rack for under 200 EUR/mo. I have been in that DC for several years and never had a single issue, so if you don't rely on any certificates this is a cheap option.

I was also colocating in the First Colo DC for some time, they are also in the locality around the Interxion campus. It's a pretty small DC but it is more premium than the Interwerk and also is kinda cheap. I personally wouldn't go with Accelerated, since they had multiple issues in the past.

For the big brands I would definitely go with Interxion, they are great, have all the certificates and are premium while not going crazy with their pricing like Equinix does. DigitalOcean, Twitch, etc. they are all in one of the many Interxion facilities in Frankfurt. If Price isn't a concern I would probably go with Equinix FRA5.

DE-CIX is present in around 7 facilities, 3 of them are Interxion and I think 2 Equinix.
pretty nice. i like the code in the article, seems much cleaner to look at different functions for different arch. This will come handy during code maintenance.
> Communism is an economic system of physical goods and services, digital and intellectual things aren't either so I don't think it's useful to equate the two.

This is a very confused definition of communism. The proper definition is a classless, stateless, and moneyless society (although I prefer marketless). What that almost certainly implies, is a form of goal-oriented economic coordination in the form of central planning of production.

The problem you're trying to describe is called commodification. It is harder to commodify digital goods than physical ones. But this is merely a pragmatic issue for the capitalists, as they have commodified and will commodify pretty much any facet of life.
If you mount with nobarrier I'd say that the chances are somewhat higher than 0%
They actually do steer riders to designated pick up zones. But it's optional and most people probably just stick with their exact address. They could make it mandatory, but it wouldn't be competitive. I'd hope regulators look at this before more drastic restrictions, as there are many environmental benefits to ride sharing vs how things used to be.
Ha Ha it won't boot, because of SecureBoot which cannot be disabled without disabling UEFI which causes a delay of 10 seconds on power up. Stupid computers ugh!
Taxation is one way to deal with a shortcoming in markets, namely externalities [1]. The free market is not a panacea. If left to its own designs it leads to all kinds of negative outcomes (such as externalities and monopolies).

Swimming is a fantastic suggestion and I wholeheartedly agree with it. I'd also recommend weightlifting as a great companion regimen.
Are you able to keep it enjoyable? Invariably when I ask people who run hobby-based stores selling things like toy trains, comic books, or stamps, they tell me it's no longer fun to them.
Yeah it shows a tiny little balloon-tip style thing over the hamburger menu.

I was going to say it's not a big deal but I quite distinctly remember it being the entire reason I switched to Vivaldi instead of Chrome. Full extension store compatibility with none of the nagging, and all the other cool shit it does is just a bonus at this point.
The system installed sounds like a Lutron RA2 system. These systems can work wirelessly, but if it's new construction, you're a fool not to hardwire it was well (THE WALLS ARE OPEN).
> What's really really scary to me lately is all of this talk about "fake news", which originally referred to outright lies that were part of click-farms, but is now being talked about as if CNN and MSNBC are somehow the only source of "real" news.

I'm genuinely curious to know where it's talked about as if CNN and MSNBC are the pinnacle of reporting?

Honestly I never hear/read anything but hate for them?

What is it you are proposing to invest in?

Regardless of the answer to that, your question appears to boil down to "what will be the future value of asset X, compared to asset Y". And not many people can accurately answer that question.
What a great feeling!
Depends how you'd invest it.
Ask HN: How do I install Ubuntu with UEFI without disabling SecureBoot?
The title says it all. Additionally I can't disable SecureBoot without disabling UEFI, the option is greyed out in the setup menu. I have no OS loaded on the eMMC flash on the laptop. The laptop(s) are Lenovo 100s and ACER ES13
This is one of the biggest issues. If you do not have a smart builder advising you on every step of the process, you will eventually take horrible advise from a salesman and end up screwing yourself.

Nothing wrong with "smart" lighting systems (Lutron). These lighting systems are essential for large homes. Just need to be installed properly.
Very hard to find, because it's not a hard factual area like medicine. Take a page from anthropologists and look for a variety of primary sources, or sources that do good analysis albeit with known (or explicit) bias.

Personally, for anything international and important I like to mix BBC (known bias), Al Jazeera International (different known bias), and Economist (explicit bias, in-depth analysis). Your tastes may differ.

The bulk of the parent comment is a quote from Trainspotting (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/) - just FYI.
We just sold a large flat in Edinburgh - a large proportion of the people viewing were moving from London.
While I wholeheartedly agree with the author that we often spend way too much time "consuming" news, I do not agree with him that following the news is totally superfluous. As a citizen, I want to know what is going on in my country and what the government is doing about it, so that I can take an informed decision come the next election. I also want to know what is going on abroad because I have friends scattered all over the world, and I want to know if there is anything major that might affect them. (Quite apart from the fact that global news often impacts national government.)

There was a time when I got my news from the BBC website (I have never really watched any TV). It was very interesting, I heard a lot that I wouldn't have otherwise heard - but in the end I used up hours of time without truly learning anything. Nowadays, I get a daily news digest via email; just one short paragraph telling what has happened and where (takes about two minutes to read). I have also subscribed to a respected national weekly newspaper that doesn't so much report news as comment on current developments (takes about four hours to read).

This combination of small daily updates plus detailed weekly analysis is working out very well for me. I stay abreast of current events while not wasting any time on half-baked articles, but also don't miss out on thought-provoking quality journalism. Not a bad situation, really.
Apparently the glass in phone screens develops micro fractures from being dropped. (Well, from hitting the ground). You can't see them with the naked eye, but they weaken the glass and they grow with each successive drop.

It's probably not just bad luck that the glass happened to break after the Nth time you dropped it. It was bound to happen if you kept dropping the device.
I do hardware engineering work for hire and one of the things that always works is having some documentation ready at the first formal meeting.

Specifically, I have a skeleton requirements document that I put together from our previous correspondence (there's always a phone call, few emails, etc.) trying to flesh out their project needs. It doesn't matter if this is incomplete, inaccurate, or any other in-word. It shows that I'm a professional who has tried to understand the problem, the business case, possible solutions, will approach it methodically and like a real engineer, and that I know what I'm doing.

Those 10-15, printed, very real, pages, mostly just ?-marks, have written me more contracts than I can count. It takes about 1-2 hours of work to write things up, but I've never - not once -, had a potential client fail to notice and be impressed when I show up and have a presentable document already underway.
