I'm liking the idea of NativeScript as well, though when doing large image work (or audio or video work), you might still want to drop into native code in a plugin.

So that, for instance, you can be sure exactly when the resources for an image have been deallocated.
The company is accused of pirating the software. If they had it lawfully, they wouldn't be in this fix. The question here is whether the program outputs from a pirated program are free of copyright restrictions.

I'd suggest a better question to ask would be: could you ever trust Zuckerberg to honestly tell you what his real policies will be -- as opposed to what he might say they are, in statements to the public -- when the government comes by to twist his arm?
Hah, yea, same here. He almost explains it in the book, but not quite.
They don't say anything about being a non-profit. And it's not clear what they actually do aside from selling domains, memberships, and making a YouTube playlist.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for awareness of climate change and science in general. But not everybody is in it to support that cause.
The underlying principals of SOA haven't been dismissed.

However, there have been some rather bad implementations of SOA that have been passed off as 'how to do SOA'. When enough people started using, for example, web-services without thinking about how to handle something as common as a network partition, those people became disenchanted with the terms SOA and micro-services.
Colorado is pretty nice.

You are oversimplifying and by doing so basically disguising an argument that seems to be that more wealth should be transferred from coastal cities to the interior.

How about the interior elects some reasonable governments, engages in trying to educate their populace, put some regulations in so they can build some decent communities and try to attract talent -- how about the interior starts trying to compete rather than blaming their woes on the federal government while seeking to increase their outsized (and poorly managed) federal handouts (which gets funneled disproportionately toward their tiny economic elite because of their states rights motivated insistence on the freedom to form corrupt local governments.)
I've seen large images give native iOS and Android apps trouble. It's a challenging problem to solve no matter what.

And using ReactNative or NativeScript for the high level UI and a plug-in to handle pushing the bits around is probably still a better choice than going completely native.
You can't say any of these is "more correct" from looking at the renders. Those hard shadows stem from a difference in light size, which is almost certainly a problem with the scene parameters being treated differently. The light size may have been "lost in translation", turned to 0, creating a perfectly sharp shadow.
The system doesn't have to provide them with anything. They request something from the system and it gives them something back. What is to be ashamed of about that?
This is not a good thing though, meaning the language and abstractions are not expressive and not reusable enough. Self-hosting compilers, like the author's, feel wrong to me because of that, meta DSLs for compilers should serve as much better abstractions and save a lot of work.
Again, source of the crime is recording without consent.

You don't need separate law to prosecute revenge porn uploads. It should not matter if you recorded and uploaded porn with your girlfriend or if you recorded and uploaded a conversation you had with her at the dinner table. Both are privacy violation.
Right. I understand where you're coming from. What I'm trying to get at is why include that in your comment. Part of the problem in US politics right now is the intense polarization and division people feel. There's been a lot of people expressing that their voices haven't been heard. While it's of course important to look at the past to figure out what has and hasn't worked when looking at what we want to the future, I think focussing on the division rather than on what we want to do to improve the situation hurts, rather than helps. (And it's not like everything was perfect and peachy prior to 8 years ago either.)

What I take from the description is that the defendant, Unigate Enterprise (UE), used the software (SDS/2) to produce drawings for its Chinese contractors. The drawings are in a proprietary file format that can only be viewed by SDS/2 (written by Design Data Corporation (DDC)).

Chinese contractors use illegal copies of SDS/2 to view the drawings. So yes, the Chinese have broken the law. It's Unigate's problem that they chose software that produces files that can't be openly shared.

In claiming that the output is copyrighted, DDC seems to be resorting to a last-ditch (and groundless) effort to sue their American client, UE, because they have little prospect of getting anything out of the Chinese.

Bottom line:
[1] Somebody broke the law.
[2] It has little to do with copyrighting a program's output.
I don't understand how it was a loss?

I think it's important to note that the majority of these protests are happening in large urban cities on the coasts that overwhelming did not vote for Trump. There are no large protests in the Middle of the country.

I've dabbled with NativeScript a bit. It does seem a bit closer to the underlying platform but from my experience of it, it felt incomplete.

I first tried the Angular version before the final version of Angular was released and I recall occasions where the documentation for NativeScript was behind the actual API. I had to look at the actual code samples to figure out the correct APIs.

The next time I looked at it, I tried the regular JavaScript version and I recall having trouble deciphering the API for the SideBar plugin.

This left me feeling a bit insecure about the product. It looks to have a lot of potential though but it could use a bit more polish and better documentation.
This is, what looks like, new-ish construction is small-town Michigan. Unless the builder was grossly negligent, it's likely to have a 100 or 200A amp service panel, and 15A circuit breakers (not fuses) distributed according to code.

A, no way 1500W is going into a laptop, even temporarily with a surge. That's crazy.

B, no decent manufacturer builds a 1.5kW supply and doesn't have reasonable PF and turn on protections.

C, The kid probably has a fridge or something, its pump kicks on, laptop turns on, trips breaker. "Ha ha, laptop is so powerful it blows breaker", etc.
In other places, it can be $800/$900 a month.

This isn't new, it has been going on for over a decade or more. And it's not necessarily just Chinese kids. Korean kids, Japanese kids, European kids even. My family did it in Canada.

This story is from People's Daily two years ago.[1] The original article is more useful. The factory supposedly had 650 people doing final polishing on mobile phones. That task was automated.

Voters chose to listen to fear-mongering about immigrants taking their jobs rather than face the difficult truth that the Democrats saw and tried to help them deal with: we need education to stay ahead of automation. But building a wall sounds fast and easy and someone else does it. Free education takes years of work.

The tragedy is that there wasn't more substantive debate about it, but this cycle was a circus of emails and Trump defending the size of his dick.
I 120% agree.

I once lost my emacs dotfile and suddenly i was almost unable to use Emacs on my own pc.

Since then, i've decided to apply as little customisation as possible to software I use, and read the documentation and learn the standard configuration instead.

For some reasons nowadays it's trendy to add colors, bells and whistles to things but I've found out that learning the standard/default configuration lets me be instantly capable of intervention on whatever machine i put my hands on. Worst case scenario, i can tell programs to ignore configuration files.
What I remember from this being on hn months ago is that is this an official AMD project aiming to compete with nVidia.

Whatever TERM is set for you outside tmux needs to have a full ncurses terminfo with all the extended ncurses-specific codes. Assuming that screen and screen-256color on your system is similarly fully-featured with respect to ncurses, then you'll be in a good position. If you're lucky, TERM=screen-256color inside tmux and you're good to go.

Without that, there are a variety of hacks at different levels of the processing stack you can use to fix things. You could set TERM to screen.<your-terminal> if your system has the right settings for screen.<your-terminal>; or you could try setting it to <your-terminal> if <your-terminal> is sufficiently xterm-like.
For just Youtube, I use this script with Tampermonkey:
https://github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube

I don't think I've ever updated it. It's just worked even during times when Youtube-dl required an update to start working again.

Makes it a little more convenient because it adds a download dropdown to the video page. These days, I use it to download all the good stuff because I've had too many experiences of good content disappearing forever.

NewPipe also serves as a good youtube downloader for Android.

Given the sheer number of people involved in Facebook's decision-making, I would believe it if they told me there was an internal consensus that differed from Zuckerberg's earlier college-age views. So I want to know if there is such a consensus, because if there is, then to my mind it would override that chat snapshot.

Also, yes, you can generally trust people to tell you what their real policies are. They might not be good policies, or well thought-through, etc., but there are very few people in the world who make it their business to lie and cheat every day.

If developers cared about that, nobody would be working at all these advertising supported businesses and Google would be a forgotten footnote in history. Here too, such a union would be alienating a large portion of its potential members.
My favorite tip: add bindings with the control key. So if you use "Ctrl-b n" to go to the next pane, add a binding for "Ctrl-b Ctrl-n". It's easier to keep the Ctrl key pressed than to lift it.
Causation likely runs the other way. If you are economically comfortable, you are less likely to have problems that you would be tempted to "drink away", and so are more likely to be able to occasionally have a drink without it reaching the level of problem drinking. The article indicated that almost all of the health benefits of moderate drinking vs non-drinking were accounted for by the presence of "sick former drinkers", who were lumped in with non-drinkers in the original studies but had previously had a problem with alcohol abuse that they had been forced to kick for health reasons.

Sites can easily design themselves to work well without ads. In fact, it takes more effort to make your site break if ads aren't working.
I'd venture the vacancy rates are inversely proportional to distance (first-class on a long-haul Los Angeles to Tokyo is a somewhat better deal than first-class on a quick Seattle to Portland) and proximity to business centers (where company pays vs me paying out of pocket).

Yeah. That's why Trump would have had such a field day with Bernie about his socialism. Which Trump would have conflated with communism etc.
If all you want to do is prevent the credit bureaus from knowing you hang around with poor people then massive mirrored aviators, a ball cap and the kind of beard that would make Osama jealous are your best bet.

Facial recognition works primarily on mapping the distances between key features, kind of like a bitmask. The more features you have the longer the bitmask and the fewer matches.

It's not about being "un-matchable" it's about having so few data points you match with enough people that whoever's deciding what "good enough" is for the application has set the bar above how ever good your match is.

For something like sending advertising the bar is super low, who cares if you send out some extra spam the cost of doing so is low. The advertisers don't care if they can't precisely target the mystery man because gaining or losing one lead isn't important when you have thousands. They'll either just not send anything or send something to every possible match.

For something like insurance and credit the bar is higher because if you get the risk wrong then you lose profit margin or the ability to price competitively. This is the one area where the mystery man can win. The people selling data to the creditors can't just set the "hangs out with poor people" bool to true for each big group of people that is a partial match with a mystery person. That approach doesn't scale.

For something like IDing the guy who got a good look at the guy who placed the suitcase that had the bomb the bar is low because while the cost of interviewing a bunch of people is high the available resources are high.

If you want to stay under the radar of the analytics companies then license plate scanning should worry you a lot more than facial recognition (in the US at least).
The Congress and the President can pass retrograde legislation and issue silly executive orders, but we must not let this game of legal cat and mouse discourage us and distract us from our primary objective: to persuade a majority of Americans to REMOVE TRUMP FROM OFFICE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
Those are not the facts. UE didn't use SDS/2. They subcontracted work that requires the use of SDS/2 to a Chinese subcontractor who used an allegedly pirated copy of SDS/2 to do the work. It has to do with copyright in program output because that is what DDC is claiming. I would agree that the claim in this case is weak but it is before the 9th Circuit and their opinion is going to be very interesting either way.
When I read the title I was wondering if this was a new project. It's actually a continuation of the Datomish project. I'm glad they changed the name, though.
I think Google (the search engine) demonstrated pretty well that you can search the decentralized web very well. The search interface can be regarded as a centralized service, but it is just one of several services and plays by the same rules as everyone else.

I don't see why a video recommendation engine is inherently harder than a web index (which, as hard as it may have been, clearly was possible). You could probably monetize it in exactly the same way.

Video wasn't centralized before Youtube, but since they began offering free hosting for everyone (at astronical cost! they were burning through their money in record time before Google picked it up, and they have been burning money ever since) and video bandwith is probably by far the most expensive thing on your web hosting bill that's where everyone went. If anything, perhaps there should be rules regarding hwo much money you are allowed to spend undercutting your competition at a loss, but that's a polical decision. It can not be solved by technology.
> They have algorithms analyzing your photo. The solution is to run the algorithms on your computer.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? The whole reason Facebook is able to do what they do is that they have existing tagged photos that I may not have access to. I don't need to train Facebook to know what my friends look like. If I have to do extra work to tag my photos, I'd might as well be manually tagging them.
What was described with the ROM sounded more like a latch (transparent for one value of clock, opaque for the other). Did the author actually compose these into flipflops? It read to me as if it that wasn't the case, which just makes it even more cool.
I'll disagree with you. As someone who strongly hates ads, I think they could be useful and done well. They just aren't.
The article describes Markdown[1], basically. In my opinion, content should be written once and transformed to any format[2], including ConTeXt[3], docx, HTML, EPUB, or plain text. But here's a puzzler.

Every software developer defines and uses variables. If variables are so powerful, why do WYSIWYG word processors lack the ability to quickly and easily insert variable definitions?[4] In the screenshot, the left-hand side provides an editable variable definition hierarchy, the middle pane provides a Markdown editor, and the right-hand side provides a real-time HTML preview of the content with variables interpolated and substituted.

After variables, programming language integration--such as R[5]--comes naturally. Consider the following syntax (that could be hidden through a UI):

`r#csv2md('data.csv',totals=TRUE)`

The function imports data from an external data source and converts it to Markdown. The HTML version can be styled, or piped through pandoc to create beautiful PDF output[6]. In the screenshot, the left-hand side shows the csv2md command (totals are calculated automatically for numeric columns), the middle pane shows an HTML preview (real-time), and the right-hand side shows a PDF produced from the same source document using pandoc and ConTeXt.

The CSV file could also be a JSON request over HTTP, or database query, meaning that the document is always up-to-date with the most recent data: a living document. This could be accomplished without having to change the source document, as well:

`r#import(v$data$source,totals=TRUE)`

Here, v$data$source is a variable that defines a data source. In this case, the value might be 'data.csv', but could be 'protocol://host/app/api/json'. The variables themselves could be sourced from a YAML file, JSON data stream, or remote database.

This is what I've been working towards for the last several months.[7] There's more that this editor can do, but it's still in early beta stages, should anyone care to try it.

I've often been curious about this. I've heard this sentiment many times, but I've never heard of where/how anyone could actually buy a search history. Surely there must be some accounts of how the other side of the equation works.

Also, how much does it cost? All the facebook/google help pages I've seen focus on ads, where no personal information is shared.

oh yeah of course, it was a very theoretical "if i dig up this file in 30 years" - for the most part i access and update these files on the regular and have multiple backups. - but not much will beat stability of a format when things do go very wrong.

I can't find it now, but I remember reading about an organisation trying to archive work that had been on floppies and even when the data was read, the file formats were obsolete. so I wanted to draw the question on that kind of parallel.
