This made me realize how little innovation there is in the browser space today.

I don't think that's true. There's lots of innovation, but it's in things that aren't necessarily obvious to the end user until there's decent levels of adoption by developers. Websites can access gamepads, advanced hardware-accelerated 3D, bluetooth, accelerometers, different layout engines, P2P data sharing, push notifications ... the UI that doesn't change very often, but that's only a tiny aspect of what a browser is.
Some fair points, especially that there is a difference between weekly availability and on-call availability. However, if businesses are already doing that and employees are struggling to defend missing shifts and keep their jobs, isn't there some benefit to the employees, who already think of themselves as on-call, to at least get the notice? Honestly, if the situation you are describing is real, I don't see how employees who don't check the paper schedule daily actually keep their jobs anyway and they might as well save gas and gain the ability to react to their new schedule instantly rather than hours later.

If the same notification technology ends up making it painless to switch shifts and line them up, or even to automate more consistent shifts, does that change the ethics for you?

Talk about overloading a project name...
There is no truth but thats not really relevant. We are debating whether politics today is less fact based than it used to be and which is the reason we see claims of "post-truth".

We are not talking about some rhetorical analysis of language and I never meant it in that sense which the context of this discussion should have made clear. If not then I am remedying that now.
It's a real shame they didn't have a UX professional on the team to tell them not to include backspace as a shortcut for back in the first place.

Although I believe that was Microsoft's fault, but Google shouldn't have copied it. I've lost more data to that than any web browser bug over the years. Fortunately Chrome had an extension that let me turn it off!

You can't forget that there are good reasons for those regulations you mentioned, and getting rid of them isn't necessarily going to create a brighter, better future.

I'm not going to push "terrorism" or "pictures of small children" angle, because people engaging in those actions are very rare. Reality is much more boring - those rules help against run-of-the-mill fraud and abuse, the kind which every other individual business, small and large, would happily do. Nor did those regulations came out of thin air or "imagination" - they're almost always responses to real problems.
>I've never had a desktop Linux experience work "out of the box"

Completely the opposite for me. Ubuntu installs on almost anything I've tried (laptops, netbooks, desktops with production dates ranging from 2006 to present day). Install and setup for use usually take less than an hour. For a couple of years now I haven't encountered a single issue (like networking or graphics not working).

Not to say your experience isn't accurate, just wanted to add how impressed I've been with Linux and particularly Ubuntu for the past few years.

Conversely, installing windows (8) on modern, fresh from the factory, HP laptops has been an experience I will never voluntarily repeat.
What does that even mean? They're sparing a potential competitor the entire R&D cost of a modern, cross-platform browser. I don't think Google developed Chrome out of sheer altruism but it's probably cheaper now to compete in the browser space than ever. It's unlikely to be profitable, though, in itself.
Are you implying that Obama didn't make a good faith effort to do what he promised and wasn't repeatedly thwarted by a leery Congress? Because that's not what happened.
> Gaslighting is a form of personal attack that's designed to make someone doubt the validity of their own senses or personal experience.

Asking someone for a source (ie. "citation needed") isn't the same as 'gaslighting'.

There is no need to feel offended when someone asks for a source when you boldly claim something.

Using the website 'lmgtfy' and using this as source however is condescending. Say you are writing a paper. Would you then provide a Google search link as source? You wouldn't. That is why (indirect) Google links are not a source. Google is a tool to find a source.
..."other tools of persuasion" like posing as your own fan on message boards to defend and flatter yourself, after you're criticized for claiming that women are "treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone."

If an idiot and a genius disagree, the idiot generally thinks the genius is wrong. He also has a lot of idiot reasons to back his idiot belief. That's how the idiot mind is wired.

It's fair to say you disagree with Adams. But you can't rule out the hypothesis that you're too dumb to understand what he's saying.

And he's a certified genius. Just sayin'.

Thanks for the really informative post. I've actually tried some blogging in the past but have since slowed down as I wasn't getting a ton of results, I'm definitely going to try and stick with that though. I also like the idea of being active in various communities. Thanks again.

The reposter still doesn't link back to the actual article as requested, though that's just a "please" clause. I guess naming (and even linking) the author and giving the title suffices to satisfy the attribution clause of the license.

Before leaping to vehement criticism (as I almost did), recall that Opera's market includes televisions and video games. A physics engine for browser chrome and a name-recognizable designer actually make some sense here.

Cars can be dangerous and everybody should read the manual before using one, but it doesn't mean they are sold in an unsafe state where the user has to configure something first, otherwise it'll kill everybody.

Even knifes are sold with some package that prevents them from cutting before the package is removed.

I agree, I don't think your job is done just because you wrote somewhere "pay attention to this".
That would not qualify as one of the products because Google never bought it. They created it out of fun, and it was used by the masses.

The lack of business model had it floating on air. And the because it never went mainstream it removed all excitement from the product.

Otherwise, it could have had great vision ... Google Media, Inc., similar to the company that owns Digg.

This is similar to what we have in many urban areas in Sweden. It works really well. The local government runs the local fibre loop, just as it runs roads, piped water, electricity, sewage, and other services too, like schools and hospitals etc. One key thing is that the local government has local taxation rights to be able match the demand. Water, fibre, electricity is run on fees, and things like schools, roads and hospitals are run on taxes.
I'm not sure if it meets your needs, but DBVisualizer [1] has a reasonably full-featured free version. I use it for basic tasks and it works really well. They have a paid "pro" version but I haven't yet needed those features.

I've had a lot of mixed results from reddit as well. I'm fairly active in a number of subreddits so I find I get decent results when I post products in those, but overall my experience could be categorized as "luck" I would say...Sometimes it takes and other times it doesn't.
This is exactly where you are going wrong and I believe not really understand what politics is all about.

People didn't vote on Trump because of those things that politfact measured. There weren't watching the debates to figure out who was the most well argued person based on some basic idea of their rhetorical skills.

They voted on trump for all the things that Politifacts didn't measure but which matter to people and on those he was not lying.

Also Hillary won the popular vote so even on that account she won and he didn't.

Nothing new here.

Yeah, playing games of driveway basketball to fifty baskets didn't teach me a lot about history, either the type I now prefer to read or the type he thinks I should be reading. But my main regrets about driveway basketball are that I didn't think about what a dribbled basketball sounds like at 7 am, and that I didn't work more on my vertical leap.

And didn't C.S. Lewis say that those opposed to escapism are commonly called "jailers"?

Speaking of enthisiasm, I just transitioned from OSX to Fedora 25 and I'm loving it. I use both macbook pro and fedora laptops for development and both are excellent. Linux is faster all around, Gnome is excellent and my only complaint is oversensitive trackpad. OSX does much better job with that

> I did significantly more damage to rental properties than I lost deposits to repair... intentionally

Why?!
For almost every course I've taken in OMSCS, I always run into those issues. I'm pretty sure Piazza team knows about these problems too, because I had these issues since I was taking courses in undergrad (4-5 years ago). What this makes me think is that Piazza is just incapable of improving its own core product because it's struggling to monetize and generate revenue. I think Piazza in its current state just doesn't work at the scale of OMSCS. It could work with class size of maybe 30-40 students. I would gladly switch over to another product if it was offered as an option.
It also sucks if you want to interact with the page, since, inanely, you can't click through to the real page.
No, it means that they're using Blink.

User agents are confusing things now. Everyone says they're Mozilla, and have done since pretty much the dawn of the web (Netscape, IE, everyone). WebKit claims to be Gecko. Etc.

Why? Because many websites used to look at your user agent and serve you a different version of the page to try and give you the best experience. So new browsers, or improved browsers, started pretending to be other browsers so that they could get these versions of the pages and not the one for their release from three years ago.

Eventually you ended up with a mess because everyone claims to be everyone else.

Which is why friends don't let friends sniff for user agents.

Good job. This is an example of falling into the 3rd category and not the first.
I think they're all Christian, but I don't know any that require belonging to a specific church or totally abstaining from alcohol. I think they do all ban smoking habitually and getting drunk, though. And they all have a broad statement of faith and require participating in some kind of regular church/spiritual community.
It was a one-stop shop that had all your content in an easy to read format sans ads and tracking. I think Google realized that if everyone went with Reader their cash cows of ads and tracking would disappear, so they killed it.

Its probably trivial to replicate, but RSS/Atom wasn't very popular to begin with and this move just motivated others to give up on it. Webmasters didn't want to have that weird RSS icon that no one understood and designers probably didn't like that their hard would went away with RSS.

On the flip-side ad blockers and things like Firefox's and Safari's reader mode help a lot. I think its not a big coincidence Chrome is late to the reader mode game either. Google wants you to load that ad tracking .js file because that's their bread and butter.
Experience is subjective. If you teleport to another location you're not the same person you were before you left, you're a similar set of molecules reconstructed in the same fashion. In all actuality, "you" died and another "you" took your place. But to you and everyone around you, it seems like nothing has changed, so you carry on with your life.

Likewise, if you travel back in time and change the future, you're not helping the people in the future you left, you're helping the people in the past avoid that future. But to you, it looks the same. It looks just like the past you're familiar with, and it develops into some semblance of the future you were expecting. So for all intents and purposes, from a subjective viewpoint you're avoiding the paradox and helping your ancestors. It doesn't matter if the people you left are still suffering, subjectively they don't exist anymore.
"Instead of helping sites to solve the problem, we'll take care of it for them! And no need to worry about vendor lock-in, we're 'not evil', remember?"

I wish they'd just push to solve the actual problem, instead of using this as a chance to push people into their system. The issue they are trying to solve is absolutely real, but adding more layers and complexity to prevent layers and complexity is the opposite approach that they should be taking.

Netflix/Prime/etc aren't even comparable to a local media library to me. Legal issues aside, a local library can be configured to download the latest episodes of programs I like automatically, and keep an eye out for movies I like the look of, which I can then watch offline at my leisure. Streaming services allows me to browse programs I haven't considered adding to my library, or maybe haven't even heard of, and watch them immediately without having to wait for them to download. They're different use cases for different purposes, and with a few exceptions for hard-to-find stuff that I mostly keep around for nostalgic purposes, streaming is winning. I can't store the programs I want to watch for the cost of a Netflix subscription (a quick calculation shows that it would cost £10 per month in disks alone to fill a 4-bay NAS with 8TB disks, without considering Usenet subscriptions and electricity costs)

The Risk of Discovery
I finished the OMSCS program while working full time. I think most can do it unless you regularly work significant overtime or otherwise have a significant lack of free time. Those with families, kids, etc. seem to do best taking one class per semester. Those with fewer such responsibilities can take two per semester.

Also: Even at two classes per semester it takes two years. One class per semester, a bit over three years. It does take some determination to see it through to the end.

Would Sam talk to someone higher status with a fry voice, like he couldn't be bothered to muster the energy to speak normally? No. Vocal fry is used to show that the speaker is higher status. Genuinely high status people don't use it because it's a passive-aggressive way to show higher status.

You're not wrong that there are dependencies, but it's nowhere near as expensive as buying a whole new computer. I bought a desktop in 2011, added an SSD a few years ago, then added 16 GB of RAM (second hand, bringing me to 24GB) and replaced my graphics card with a Maxwell Titan X (also second hand) last year.

It's a very good system for running state of the art deep learning experiments on now. Cost me ~600 for the upgrades last year. You couldn't even buy a laptop with these specs. I bought a steam link and 2 controllers for ~150 last year to play co-op games with my wife, much cheaper than a console with the added benefit of my existing steam collection and Steam holiday sales!

I may have gotten lucky, because I sure as shit don't know what I'm doing picking components, but the fact that I can get lucky probably means there's a way to pick things with headroom intentionally.
It would be great if I can buy my physical line (to the interconnect) from my current ISP.

Commissioner Pai seems to have rebranded "Zero-Rated" content as "free data offerings", but its not really free, you already are a paying customer.

Also really political wording: "popular among consumers precisely because they allow more access to online music, videos, and other content free of charge"

instead of the more accurate

"access to our chosen providers online music... without counting against your data cap"

ok t-mobile is the one company that doesn't charge to be a "chosen provider", but the others.

This doesn't bode well..

I tested it on the live demo with a few sentences from Google News, English to Italian and viceversa. It looks to be at the same level of Google Translate: some sentences are better translated to Italian by OpenNMT, others by Google, even in the same excerpt from the news.

Both tools seems to be better at translating to English, but maybe because I don't realize some of the mistakes they do.

Overall it's a great tool. I suggest to read the FAQ at http://opennmt.net/FAQ/
Sure, but for the average 22 year old who has (up until then) gone through life moving from one exactly delineated set of expectations to the next, complete with quantification of the quality of the result (grading) and 'will this be on the test' expectation management, the PhD unboundedness is as alien as it is frightening.
I often use subtitles (often in ASS/SSA format) on content i'm streaming from Plex and have no issues changing the subtitle format mid-stream - if the subtitles are being burnt in because the player (e.g. Plex Web or mobile apps) can't natively render them then there's a few seconds delay before the video resumes. On players that can natively render them (e.g. Plex Media Player or Kodi with the PlexKodiConnect plugin), the changeover is instant.

My thought process of this has been that Superscalar is like a JIT, in that it attempts to optimise these instruction scheduling as it happens, always executing when viable. Bit obviously although this is good for optimising execution does come at a fairly high implementation complexity cost.

Whereas VLIW is where you optimise ahead of time with no fore knowledge, if the compiler is good enough, you get the same performance with simpler, cheaper, more efficient hardware (or potentially more performance) but often this doesn't pan out fully.

Another kind of, sort of, similarity between vim and Blender is that vim has different editor modes (normal mode, visual mode, insert mode and so on) and Blender also has a kind of different modes (object mode, edit mode and others), though I think the modes in Blender relate more to the mouse cursor and not so much to the keyboard.
