There's even a fifth option: see it for what it is, and apply social pressure. Sure, people are free to use Facebook while accepting it as it is, and I'm free to cut them off for that. It's not like I am not offering arguments, but at this point the burden isn't on me anymore. We're all adults, we all have internet access and history books. It's our choice whether we follow fools or digest the hard lessons of wise men and women, and I for one am not interested in arranging deck chairs or making friends on Titanics. For all things we could feel superior to the old greeks to, I think this is spot on:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot

> An idiot in Athenian democracy was someone who was characterized by self-centeredness and concerned almost exclusively with private—as opposed to public—affairs. Idiocy was the natural state of ignorance into which all persons were born and its opposite, citizenship, was effected through formalized education. In Athenian democracy, idiots were born and citizens were made through education (although citizenship was also largely hereditary). "Idiot" originally referred to "layman, person lacking professional skill", "person so mentally deficient as to be incapable of ordinary reasoning". Declining to take part in public life, such as democratic government of the polis (city state), was considered dishonorable. "Idiots" were seen as having bad judgment in public and political matters.

Step one is to recognize the problem, and that's compared to the seriousness we should have, we're all idiots. And we no longer can afford it, we have invented to many idiocy multipliers. If that hurts anyone's feelings I'm real sorry, but considering all those war profiteers we host I'd rather be able to look wise people and dead people in the eye, than the people who can't look those people in the eye. The world's a dirty, dark, and more than anything a foolish, petty and derpy place; but cleansing one's own "soul" is possible, to a degree.

Magic Leap 2017 – On Creativity and Imagination
My workstation is an 11" Macbook Air, and has been for years. For what I do -- mostly Ruby, some C, some shell -- it's perfect. I fullscreen everything, and switch between apps with cmd-tab. I avoid or have disabled most macOS GUI features. 4 cores is fine. 8GB is fine, though having a couple hundred open tabs in Safari slows things down a tad. If I need to do something requiring more screen space, like an InDesign layout or a SketchUp design, I just cable up an external monitor & keyboard. Simple, straightforward, no stress.

They keep calling Trump a populist like it's some kind of insult. As though real politicians should be globalist, selfish opportunists who don't give a shit about the people or something. It's one thing to report on factual evidence that contradicts policy or positions, but the "news" outlets need to stop trying to blame/shame the American voter for the horrible performance of their anointed shit-tier candidate.
That's more about uniqueness than using your real name.

Spam and fraud accounts are a rather big problem, and this is one way of raising the barrier for creating those. And yeah, Facebook surely has other motivation too, like not having your metadata scattered across multiple accounts.

But I still don't see how knowing your real name would make a strong difference to them. I have quite a few FB friends that use obvious fantasy names (mostly for privacy reasons I think), and they don't seem to be banned or forced to change it.
That depends on what you consider to be the alternative to free speech. If you take it as "no speaking allowed ever", than freedom of speech benefits all equally. If you take the alternative to be "everyone I don't like isn't allowed to speak" then free speech disproportionately aids those you dislike.
They have been able to convert their cash to new Rs. 2,000 notes through the underhand deals with corrupt Government and Banking officials.
Given the press this has received, negative results for EmDrive seem extremely publishable.
That was my first thought.
That said, it sounds like they may be targeting first generation immigrants, and their successes come when they get through to someone who's not very familiar with US norms, and perhaps rather more familiar with the concept that problems sometimes go away after making illegitimate payments in unconventional ways to officials.

My second thought was to wonder how purchases and redemptions of thousands of dollars worth of iTunes gift cards managed not to be flagged up by Apple, bearing in my there's certainly enough money flowing through their systems for law enforcement to be very interested in monitoring their compliance with KYC/AML regulations?
City worker here: I'm guessing they haven't been. It's actually rather nice. Yeah, it's tiny, but it's fairly cosmpolitan, and the influx of 5000 city workers and their families would probably improve it further.

> Yes it has

It would be helpful if you cited your sources for this. From what I've seen and read, most people found a way to launder their black money through brokers. [2] That's not just speculation, most of the 17 trn rupees of cash has found its way back into legal channels. [1]

You were also very cavalier about the downsides of this move. Yes, those 100 deaths are a loss, but far more people were affected. Many did not have any money for a month or more because their employers did not have cash to pay them. There were 8 million affected workers in the beedi industry alone, more in other sectors. These are daily wage labourers, remember. [2]

Many farmers were forced to sell their crops for pittances to make ends meet. One example is cauliflower being sold for ₹ 1/kg. Its usually sold at ₹ 12. The prices of soyabeans was down by 77% [2]

Judging by your comments on this thread, you neither know nor care about this. You speak as if the only downside to this entire affair was 100 people dying, all the while citing 0 sources.

That's not quite true - frontend has to scale for features.
"Furthermore statements like that -- "the base rate is never going to be zero" -- show an unwillingness to even try to do better."

No, it doesn't, and that's a hostile attitude to take.

"We may not be able to get to zero, but we can definitely do better than that."

Exactly how much better? Or are you demonstrating an unwillingness to address the issue concretely? Or do you perhaps not like that excessively hostile attitude on my part?

The situation is complicated, and people like to fling around statistics with the apparent intent to simply inflame passions with no regard for the result it produces. So the US has been talking all about this for the last year or so... has it improved the situation any, or has the inflammatory rhetoric actually made things worse? I look to results, not words, and I can make a far better case for the latter than the former. So I'm pretty unimpressed by the attempt to socially shame me into accepting a line of rhetoric that from my point of view has killed more than it has helped. (My current estimate is in the mid-hundreds at a minimum, just to put some numbers on it.) Whatever the solution is, this doesn't appear to be it.

I also consider the fact that it is visibly not working to trump any other vague arguments, such as, say, "but it's raising awareness". So what? It's not working. Awareness is not the end goal some people seem to think it is, it's as best a method to attain some goal, and that goal is not being attained. This rhetoric line is killing more people and corroding social fabric. Concrete results don't get changed by hypothesizing about how they could have possibly been good maybe sorta in an alternate universe. Do we care about reducing the violence, or do we just want to feel brief moments of emotional catharsis by blaming everything on cops? Because if it's the former, a change in approach is needed.
Having never worked on a modern game, but having been a programmer my whole career:

On the plus side, I'm impressed by the technical chops of the folks who can design optimized lighting systems, physics engines, and keep the whole things modeling and working within their frame rate budgets. That's impressive.

On the minus side, it's a bit depressing how much of a "cheat" game programming often is -- how game AI is really a series of dumbed-down decision trees and hacks, how models are faked and simplified to keep up with frame rates, etc. You get the impression that there is this wonderfully sophisticated model going on when I think in most cases it is very phony and shallow. Also, I feel a bit sad when I think of so much engineering talent going into developing... well, games. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy games, but I'll always be a "casual gamer" -- that is, a "serious person," where I think of the coolest games, designed for "serious gamers" as, basically, enormous time sinks and money pits that prey on people without enough meaningful things to do.
Haven't multiple independent scientists now replicated the results? It's no longer just the original proponents. It's multiple scientists trying to understand what is causing the measurement.

Pretty sure he's not. There are "personal use" exemptions that seem like they would apply. Not sure though, but if in the past ~20 years, if there is not a case of someone breaking the law by using a gopro or other camera for personal use, seems like it's a non-issue.
> "Why is it "morbid"? Did you call out the OP for associating the death of a 100 people due to an economic move like demonetization morbid?"

I call it morbid because "not enough people died hence its a success" is a bad argument. What is your cutoff for the number of people to have died for it to have become a failure? How do you arrive at that cutoff?

> "The displacement of people during the Partition was of a small percentage of the entire populace. Yet it was not managed properly at all"

Yes a relatively smaller percentage than demonetization (but not small by any means). Furthermore, less people were affected by partition but the impact to those affected was much higher. In demonetization, more people were affected but the average impact to those affected was much lower. They might even be the same area under the curve in terms of suffering. But how do we quantify that? Simply saying that "less people were affected yet more people died during partition in contrast to demonetization where more people are affected but less people died" is an incomplete argument. More people are affected by the poor air quality of New Delhi but less people die because of it than the partition, does that mean that the air quality measures that the government has taken (banning unleaded fuel etc.) is a success?

> "And most of those converting their cash were caught and the rest are still being caught. Did you fail to read the news?"

Survivorship bias. You only hear of the ones that got caught. There are so many that got away scot-free.

Also, do you always believe or agree with what the Supreme court says or recommends? How do you feel about the mandatory standing for the national anthem before any movie? Should that be something that the state should enforce? Hitler made it mandatory for civilians to perform the Nazi salute towards him.
He does not reply mails.
That last bit is truly unfortunate, because the answer is mostly easy: vote in every election you can, not just the ones that come up every four years.

For an example I'm familiar with, here in Virginia we have 5.5 million registered voters, and 3.9 million of them voted in the 2016 election. Yay! However, in the 2015 election, when the entire state legislature was chosen, as well as many local offices, only 1.5 million people voted. And then people are shocked, shocked, when the state government doesn't represent them very well.

If people would stop thinking that President is the only office that really matters and start voting at every opportunity, a lot of these problems would just go away.
Another language not dependent on any of those is Red which is currently written in Rebol & Red/System.

> Another possibility is to not allow TOS terms that require real names be used.

The problem with rules is that they are "one-size fits all". Very binary. Instead of telling people what they can and can not do, why don't we simply require full disclosure?

> We should write the best rules. If the company doesn't like it they can go to a different country.

That's easier for companies than citizens. But the determination of "best rules" in a (representative) democracy depends on which mob is in charge this week...
I code and I like huge, crisp screens. Minimum two or better three. One for the code, one for testing and one for API docs. If those monitors are hi-dpi, even better (or rather a must in 2016).

2x 5k 27" screen + the internal one.

No other notebook can do this. Most struggle already with 2x 4K monitors.

I'm not a Trump supporter by any means, but it's interesting to look back and notice that the top layer of the billionaire class -- the richest of the rich -- were either backing Clinton or taking great pains to distance themselves from and criticize Trump during the campaign.

It might be viewed as a battle of the major billionaires against the minor billionaires -- and the major billionaires lost. In any event, the vast majority of the wealth was on Clinton's side or at least critical of Trump.

Billionaires who directly supported and/or endorsed Hillary Clinton:

* Warren Buffett: $73 billion

* Bill Gates: $84 billion

* Carlos Slim: $50 billion

* Michael Bloomberg: $40 billion

* George Soros: $25 billion

* Laurene Powell Jobs: $19 billion

* Elon Musk: $12 billion

* Eric Schmidt: $11 billion

Billionaires who (at least) were critical of Trump, and refused to endorse or support him:

* Jeff Bezos: $65 billion

* Mark Zuckerberg: $53 billion

* Charles Koch: $43 billion

* Mark Cuban: $3 billion

Billionaires who supported Trump:

* Sheldon Adelson: $32 billion

* Carl Icahn: $18 billion

* John Paulson: $8.6 billion

* Woody Johnson: $3.5 billion

* Peter Thiel: $2.7 billion

* Wilbur Ross: $2.5 billion

* Tom Barrack: $1 billion

* Stephen Feinberg: $1.25 billion

* T Boone Pickens: $0.5 billion

* Steven Mnuchin: < $1 billion

I was considering buying a MacBook Air few years back to install Linux. However, I decided in the end to go for the Zenbook Prime at the time for slightly better characteristics in all departments EXCEPT in battery life. It was a great decision. Now I'm on the Asus UX305CA which is great in all departments including battery life EXCEPT it doesn't have a backlit keyboard. It is like every time Asus fixes a thing they screw a new thing.

Now that Apple is catching up, unless Asus/others release a good ultrabook by the end of this year my next computer might just be a Mac. The future is going to be made of USB Type-C so I want my next computer to bet heavy on those, including charging.
> How do we define module boundaries?

The question should be "How do we define module interfaces?"

Take Bootstrap as practical example.

How does it "interface" with your code?

CSS classes of course!

But wait!

If you use its "components" it also interfaces via HTML elements.

If you use even more of it, it also interfaces via JavaScript.

But even if you just use their CSS, how to switch to BlazeCSS, for example?

Well, you kick out Bootstrap, include BlazeCSS and ... you replace the CSS classes in your HTML elements, done...almost, sometimes you even have to fix up the HTML.

Hopefully this gets better with Web Components.

The problem we have right now is that CSS stuff is top down, while it still requires heavy customization from the bottom up (some styling only work for specific element types, etc.)

With Web Components, we can have custom elements "at the bottom" which are transparent in their child element usage, and can let CSS frameworks target them from the top. V1 uses ul/li for tabs, V2 uses divs all the way, but the users just includes the css/js and the used tag <fw-tabs> stays the same.

If you read the article the IRS scam is just one of several common scams that Indian call centers perform. I would imagine the Microsoft tech support scam is much larger than the IRS scam and has global reach.

You'd think by now I'd be on their do-not-call list.

Lisp is a family of languages. CL doesn't define all Lisps. The two big families tend to be Common Lisp and Scheme.

* Clojure - Immutable, functional, has pattern matching.

* Common Lisp - Mostly just multiparadigm, with a leaning towards Object Oriented.

* Scheme - More functional than Common Lisp, less Object-Oriented. (Though Guile tends to have an OO leaning, through its extensions.)

* Racket - Has a mix of lazy, static typed and other sublanguages.

* Picolisp also deserves an honorable mention. It is somewhere between Common Lisp and Scheme, with some clever language features of its own. It's mostly functional, with decent C/Java FFI and a Datalog-like library for OO.

Ok so now my "behavior" is under question with my statements being called "morbid", "rude", "short sighted", "huffing and puffing". Is it because I have a contrary opinion to yours? I fail to understand how my comments are "rude" when it's very apparent that you are the one being rude here (and you admit it yourself: "Sorry to be brash").

> "I'm about to walk into work so there's no time to dance around the facts"

I wasn't expecting a factual rebuttal after you called me "rude, short sighted" and "huffing and puffing" anyways.

RAM vs. Flash storage. You're comparing apples and oranges here.
All these things also apply to Google, except:

* you decide on a team before you start, but after you know you passed the interview

* moving fast is not valued as much

I would also add that Facebook uses a lot of Open Source, meaning your experience will be applicable elsewhere.

Here are some potential advantages about working at Google:

* Being ethical is a core value of the company.

* Google/Alphabet is more diverse (Search, YouTube, Android, Hardware, DeepMind, Waymo ...) and has more offices worldwide.

* It has an advantage in Machine Learning and Research. Google even has an internal research conference.

* Google even has it's own incubator for entrepreneurial employees (Area 120).

* Google is trying hard to make it's hiring and promotion process objective and unbiased. That's why they happen by a commission of peers.

Webflow + DPD (digital downloads), or Webflow + Shopify (physical goods)
If your CMS is not supposed to do anything particularly fancy and if you don't want the annoyance of dealing with techy staff, Webflow is currently the best website builder that I know. It's a visual tool and that saves you lots of time, especially if you are tech savvy. They are just releasing a CMS API that is going to make it even more flexible.

If you are selling real goods, Webflow integrates with Shopify very efficiently. If you are selling digital downloads, I'd consider DPD, which is in many ways better for digital downloads since it was born just for to do that. I am currently using it and I am very satisfied.
