Rude assumption.

I always, as a matter of principle, buy the "remove ads" IAP if I use an app regularly. Even if I didn't it wasn't my choice to charge nothing for the app. That's on the developer. Apple doesn't owe you a living, I don't owe you a living. The state of the app store has been known for years now and you've had a long time to decline to participate.

Your problems with Apple are not my problems as a user.
They impeached Clinton for committing the crime of perjury, so your comparison makes no sense. With regard to the Foreign Emoluments Clause, Trump is donating all proceeds from stays in his hotels by foreign officials directly to the US Treasury. I am not a constitutional lawyer, but apparently he has been advised by those who are that this solution solves that particular legal issue.

I realize that this issue will never be solved in the minds of Clinton voters, but as long as it legally resolves the problem, opinions simply don't matter.

He was voted in by the people, through a legitimate democratic process. Democracy works. Freedom of speech works. 1984 didn't get it right. It's not the government that needs to be feared. It isn't the big evil corporarions. It's the people. The mob.

4chan ran a more effective propaganda/misinformation campaign than any dark shadowy corporate entity. Our insitutions are less than stellar, but at least they are run by adults. Americans are run by bedtime stories and mass hysteria generated by their own delusions, the manifestation of which now occupies our highest office.

1984 was a warning against communism, but China has a brighter future than we do. Nobody wrote a science fiction novel taught in high schools warning us against democracy in the age of decentralized peer to peer media. Government surveillance isn't ruining lives, but a poorly worded tweet can.
>And honestly, sometimes I don't know if code is too "clever" or the reader is just too "dumb".

IMO, the answer is people vastly underestimate the cognitive cost of reading code. "Code" rarely exists in a vacuum, the reader has a universe of inputs, outputs, problems, solutions, failures and goals. The cognitive cost of trying to read someone's code is something that must be paid multiple times per day and at one point do you have to wonder - is the gain in expressiveness for a single programmer worth the cognitive cost of the multiple programmers who have to parse that code.

I'd imagine the answer is no - especially for companies that spend more time iterating and patching based on customer feedback than actually designing and architecting systems. My belief is that expressive languages have their place but companies are far more likely to build their software in a "patch-test-iterate" environment which favors less expressive languages.

What else could that comment be claiming? It wouldn't really make much sense if the claim was "more people live under the poverty line in the US than Morocco, but they are among the most wealthy people in the world."
Scala is an excellent language from a safety and design perspective. It's biggest flaw is the lack of a corporate sponsor and higher barrier of entry. Map, FlatMap, Options are all really great but hard to grok at first.

Hi Raresp!

Thank you for your awesome feedback!

1) True, but it belongs to Zakynthos island, where Tsivili is located. Sometimes we had to choose for a more general place near the city we are mentioning, to get a decent image. And since it is very near, we think it's ok (When you will go to Tsivili, you definately will visit Navagio beach (Shipwreck Beach).

2) Planning to!

3) Good one! Is it ok to generate it dynamically (does Google find it in then?)

4) We'll thake that into account! But we'll first focus on developing the web app further and add features :)

Thank you!
Debian stable's Wine is often fairly old. I wish there was an easier way to get a newer Wine on stable.

They're rejecting your reports because the issues are often fixed in newer versions - someone would have to re-confirm your reports on a newer version.

I think I've been cured of this bias by seeing a lot of videos of analog modular synthesizers, which share the patch-cable programming techniques of analog computers. Analog systems can do some interesting things, and they have a nice physicality to them. The noise, instability, feedback, and imperfections in analog synthesis have an aesthetic appeal that has only matured with time. In ease of programming, though, simple imperative code feels like a huge release - you can actually follow the execution flow top to bottom, and the syntax makes it trivial to define many mathematical ideas.
How about:

As far as I've seen, happy user have little incentive to go and leave a good review. But the users who have had some annoyances with the app are definitely going to take it to the reviews. This leaves you with negatively biased reviews a lot of the time.

After Amiga, Atari, Acorn and Windows, getting to learn UNIX ideas seemed quite interesting (I started with Xenix).

However, once at the university I got the opportunity to dive into the work of Xerox PARC and ETHZ, the more I learned about them, the more I came to realize that I actually cared more about their vision about how computing should look like, than anything I ever used in UNIX variants.

Of course, Plan 9, Inferno and C+@ are other Bell Labs ideas that would have improved the overall UNIX experience, but as you say, have been ignored.
I really wish people and the media stop over emphasizing about every gaffe and focus on real news stories. For instance, the "alternative facts" comment/incident is being talked about everywhere, from TV news channels to news parody shows to talk shows to social media etc. But, at the same time it seems like there is so much more important news that one would think deserves more attention like the executive orders, withdrawal from TPP, revival of oil pipelines, changes in healthcare spending etc. I even just saw news articles headlining on the guardian now about agencies being banned from sharing information on social media or to reporters and few journalists getting felony charges after covering the protests around the inauguration.

It almost makes me wonder if it would be a good idea if there was a website that covered the latest gaffe and the corresponding actual news worthy story that was lost out on optimal coverage because of it.

Edit: I couldn't find this before but here is an interesting article I read yesterday [0]. It's an opinion piece by Alexey Kovalev. - "I’ve reported on Putin – here are my tips for journalists dealing with Trump".

> If "in-person" doesn't mean "physically at the inauguration" what does it mean then? It is not ambiguous.

The ambiguity isn't what "in-person" means, it's what "both in-person and around the globe" means. Does it mean "both 1) in person and 2) around the globe (each independently)" or does it mean "both (the total sum) in person and around the globe"?

Obviously the second is more strained, but it's not completely absurd, especially if you allow for the inelegant phrasing common in live briefings.

It's easy to find things like this if what you're really looking for is to start a fight.
I generally agree, except ...

> Had the cards fallen only slightly differently, he could have won the Presidency as a loose-canon Democrat

I agree that he is non-ideological. IMHO he does have some political ideas that meet his business needs, for example being strongly pro-big business, anti-tax, and anti-regulation. I'm not sure how he would square that with the Dems, but he I agree that he doesn't care about GOP ideology.

My point in the GP was that the GOP has been following this course since 2000, 1994, or longer; they started a populist fire that now burns way out of control. The Democrats have not; there is no way they would support him simply for competency and rationality reasons, much less policy.

> Does anyone really think Donald Trump has some deep ideological need to implement the "Global Gag Order", something he very likely never heard of before running?

Certainly he has a strong reaction to people criticizing or disagreeing with him; he wouldn't tolerate that from within the executive branch.
"This is probably a good time for people to be reading 1984."

This is ridiculous.

The hate for Trump has caused people to go into utterly misguided tizzies, and it's pathetic.

I loathe Trump - but he's not a totalitarian.

He has given no indication of encroaching on civil liberties, there's no indication he wants to socialize large parts of the economy, or expand control by government, or even expand surveillance programs.

He's boorish, loud-mouthed and says crude things - but his policy actions are not that drastic.

'Enforce immigration laws' - fairly reasonable.

'Build pipelines' - outside of environmental concerns - absolutely normal.

'Re-negotiate trade deals' - not sure if I agree but not crazy.

'Get NATO allies to pay their share' - not crazy.

A 'mild' social conservative totalitarian might roll back laws on gay marriage, abortion etc. - but Trump hasn't mentioned it at all.

He has been forceful on trying to get American jobs back, and he'll likely overhaul the tax code, likely with some tax breaks.

He hasn't been nearly as aggressive in terms of foreign policy as Clinton.

He's indicated that he wants to get along with Russia. Is this such a bad thing? Clinton/Obama tried it earlier as well.

I think he presents himself in a manner unfit for someone who's in public office, but in the end, his actual actions are not particularly outlandish - and nowhere near totalitarian.

Obama would have socialized the entire healthcare system if he had the choice, and vastly expanded the welfare system, and would likely have introduced far more controlling legislation if allowed - and we do know he oversaw a fairly robust expansion of the surveillance state.

So Obama happens to be a 'nice guy' and 'not boorish' - does that make him any more or less totalitarian.

People need to grow up.

Trump is kind of a blow-hard, not a Nazi.

Trump has had reams of lawyers on this one for a while.

If the Dems thought they could 'get him' on his ownership of whatever, they would have been pressing it already.

I think as it stands, he's on decent legal footing.

Which admittedly is a little ridiculous, you'd think the Prez. would not be above conflict of interest.

Aside from that, Trump says ridiculous things, but they are mostly in the vein of ridiculous populism. It makes him look ridiculous to most people, I don't know why he does it, that said, none of his policies so far are as gonzo as his ridiculous rhetoric.

Give it time. Maybe he'll cool down, or maybe he'll do something impeachable.

"Failure to give up his business interests is an impeachable offense."

Nope. They've had lawyers on this for a while, and I think he's ok on it.

FYI - do you know how many Republican secretly wished that Trump were 'gone'? Probably most of them. He's a) a loose cannon and b) not actually a conservative on many issues.

I think he's legally in the clear on his ownership issues.
As far as I know he's more or less the proverbial generic Republican on foreign policy. Which sounds a lot better to me than Trump's uneducated unpredictability.

The Presidents don't have the final say in how much money each agency gets and how many Congressmen get a shiny new NASA facility or contract in their district. The slice of the budget that the executive branch has the authority to allocate is miniscule compared to debt payments, entitlements, and military spending.

NASA's problem isn't really the money, it's the ridiculous bureaucracy and systemic inneficies that inevitably occur when you are forced by opportunists to fragment your supply chain and distribute your engineering infrastructure across the entire country. The constant change in executive policy is a consequence of NASA's inability to achieve its potential in the face of a functionaly hostile legislature.

Absolutely agree.

I've helped maintain REST APIs in both Java and NodeJS at different points in time.

Doing so in Java was always a painful iterative process; ask the ORM for data, painstakingly map the data to Java DTOs created mostly for defining JSON structure, pass it off to RESTEasy or some similar framework, see how the JSON turned out. Adjust and repeat until satisfied. Yuck.

In NodeJS, by contrast, fire off the SQL to get the data, map into the JS object that you need and return it.

Kind of funny how, years back, a selling point of GWT was that you could use the same language across the stack. It wasn't a bad idea, just a poor choice of language.
Congress hasn't given blanket permission. The law says that it's illegal for certain government officials to accept gifts etc. It doesn't say anything about whether it's legal for the president to accept them; it merely says that the president is not within the scope of that particular law.

I would agree that those alone will have little impact, but they also tend to be indicative of an overall different life-style. It's hard to over-shop for groceries, for example, when you have to carry everything home on your person, and soft drinks tend to be more difficulty to acquire in bulk because of the weight.

You do have to adjust to a different life style when you rely entirely on public transit, and it allows for more positive choices just because of necessity.

> The fact that it is possible for things to be different doesn't imply that they are

Right, so let's stop talking of theoretical possibilities and look at concrete reality. I don't know of the last time a party embraced ideology as strongly as today's GOP; anyone who doesn't see that will never see ideology anywhere - it hardly could get more extreme.

> I do think there are very large segments of both that are almost entirely ideological, and that, unfortunately, these subgroups often take most of the limelight.

Again, a false equivalence IMHO. Which very large, limelight-stealing Democrat group are you referring to? Hillary Clinton supporters were the largest group; she's almost the opposite of ideological. Obama and his supporters are very non-ideological. The participants in last Saturday's marches were generally non-ideological, AFAICT.
If assuming competent development is bad, as you claim, why would it be a better idea to use a closed source password manager like LastPass instead of an open source fork of KeepassX?

I'm tied to the Norwegian app store by bank card. Norway has a small population resulting in the majority of apps having the "we don't have enough reviews for this app" and no review data at all. Instead of showing reviews from another country, or overall from all countries, Apple choose no data at all. Really useful.
