I don't think things are going to get better until browser makers (or Google) start forcing things. It's fine to say "Use less JS" but without an incentive, things aren't really going to change.

Looking at how HTTPS adoption has grown with Google giving HTTPS sites an SEO boost and Chrome giving scary warnings, I wonder if the solution isn't to do the same with JS. Throw in some SEO incentives for pages with minimal JS and see what the market does.

Since when have our political leadership allowed for BVR kills? The F-4 didn't have a gun as it was supposed to be the age of the missile, and the maneuverability was built into the missiles. Then the pilots were required to close up and identify the targets before shooting. I can think of one missile kill BVR and they already knew the opfor was hostile. As long as there is ambiguity in the conflict there will be no BVR kills.

In my opinion we should scrap the whole manned fighter thing, as sad as that thought is, and create an army of expendable maneuverable drones that are affordable enough to throw them into combat.
They're just "GOG.com" now, given that the "Old" part is no longer their exclusive focus.
> What I don't understand is how people can support Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac/Sallie Mae loan guarantee programs and not UBI-style welfare programs.

The guarantee programs are different because if someone defaults on a loan, presumably you can repossess the house and recoup some of the investment. If you distribute basic income and someone blows it all on garbage - what then? Do we let the person die? Do we subsidize further welfare programs to provide food/shelter/healthcare?

I am not an economist - just a person trying to understand. At my current understanding of UBI I don't think I support such a program.

Sikuli is simple but from what I know about it you can't write maintainable tests with it. Relying on the pictures to be always the same and driving your test is guaranteed to cause false positives.

I think the future lies with platforms like Screenster that have recording, collaboration, built-in browser execution, visual verification and lots of other magic, and not with low-level frameworks like Sikuli.

But both have their place :-)
I've always assumed the opposite, where Pale Fire was a sort of self-parodical novel, playing on Nabokov's realization of his own eccentricities.

Although Pale Fire came out in 1962 and Nabokov's Onegin in 1964, he had been working on Onegin translation since at least 1950, according to a piece he wrote in 1955, yclept 'Problems of Translation: "Onegin" in English'. A favorite quote of mine from that Partisan Review article:

"I want translations with copious footnotes, footnotes reaching up like skyscrapers to the top of this or that page so as to leave only the gleam of one textual line between commentary and eternity."[1]

I highly recommend giving the article a read if you haven't come upon it, and are interested in hearing his theory (and distaste for "substitut[ing] easy platitudes for the breathtaking intricacies of the text") in his own words!

Performance art it may well still be! But, a performance involving writing precise treatises well before Pale Fire was released.

Seriously, you are arguing that developers should be hindered from making software so that you don't have to make a selection from so many titles.

From what I can tell, my drives are understanding how things work, exploring the properties of problems, having a tool that acts as a kind of creative outlet to make things that are functional and beautiful, and having something to tinker with and fix. None of those are necessarily limited to programming, but programming's a decent fit for all four.
The secret world of vulnerability hunters
It wasn't hunky-dory at all. That's the point.

There are a couple of different ways of running a business, and a lot of them can be captured in what kind of growth you expect. Buffer did 50% growth last year. Great for what it is, but it's not the same culture and company as one that can sustain 100% YoY growth.

2 of the 3 founders wanted a 100%+ YoY growth company. The CEO didn't. Notwithstanding the realities of cash and organic growth, the CEO always wins these disagreements, so the other 2 founders left.

There are a lot of ways you can grade a business. Against the VC-rocket-ship metric, Buffer is mediocre and small. Against cash and stability, they're rock-solid and large. In the mind of the departing founders, the business was in trouble, because it was failing to achieve the metrics necessary to be graded well against that first yardstick. And they're right, but it doesn't mean Buffer is going to collapse today, tomorrow, or ever.
To be maneuverable enough to hit an aircraft puts upper bounds on your missile's size, which in turn limits the amount of fuel it can carry.

$200 Android phone? Look at the Pixel XL and the Galaxy S7 Edge. They're also about 10x slower than the iPhone (hard to tell since the numbers aren't precise enough but it's a HUGE difference).

For VMware use the intel e1000e NIC's, not the default ones that you get when setting up the VM using the GUI.

In order to do so, shut down your VM and edit the lines in the .vmx file with the virtual NIC to look like:

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e"

Repeat that for each NIC.

After that performance should be fine.
That'd be feasible, it just needs hosting companies willing to take payment in ether.

One the other hand, the Ethereum Name Service should be going live before long, and within the next year or so it should also have Swarm (distributed data storage) and Whisper (secure messaging) live as well, both integrated into Ethereum. The ultimate goal is that you wan't need web hosting.
Exactly. The beauty of this is that building to scale to cloud as needed makes bare metal even more cost effective compared to cloud, because suddenly you can plan for far higher utilization rate for your fixed hardware than you could before.

One note: you don't even necessarily need your own colocated equipment. If you're in a location with expensive real estate and/or power it is often hard to beat dedicated rented servers for smaller installations, because you often have more flexibility in renting servers further from wherever you have staff than what would work if you colo and need to be able to reach your setup in person.

Rented managed servers still tends to beat cloud with good margins.
Maybe I haven't been listening at the right times, but I've never heard someone suggesting that we should raise the retirement age or cut Social Security benefits because old people will be bored or lack dignity if they're not compelled to remain in waged labor. (I have heard other arguments for raising the retirement age or cutting benefits, but not the they-must-remain-busy argument).

A freestanding belief in the "virtue of work" is one of those pathologies that I hope we can leave behind as machines do more. Many good things in life can be accomplished only with hard work. It's good to be able to work hard, that you may accomplish good things. There is no virtue in doing hard, purposeless work[1] after you run out of hard, purposeful work. If a person wants to keep starting fires using flint and steel after the invention of the friction match, that's fine if they enjoy it. It's a little worrisome but not really my problem if they keep doing it the hard way because they feel guilty otherwise. It's a real problem if they want everyone else to keep behaving as if the friction match were never invented, because they've confused "a valuable outcome from difficult work" with "an inherent virtue found in difficult work."

[1] Of course you don't want to let your body atrophy from disuse, but there's no reason that exercising your muscles and your senses needs to resemble paid-labor-as-it-used-to-be.

> And yes, we can provide everyone with necessities by handing out checks. We've been able to over-produce food, clothing and many other things essentially without limit for decades. The rest is not going to be far behind.

I don't think this is accurate. You can provide everyone with money by handing out checks. You can't make them buy necessities with it. We seem to still have a social welfare problem in those cases.
Wow, I definitely feel this. I just switched from an iPhone to an Android device and it does seem like a second class phone experience.

A Low-Cost Solution to Traffic
The F-16 aggressor jets were likely flying with IR Search & Tracking (IRST/ATFLIR) pods [0] that somewhat negate the stealth advantage of the F-35. They also had external fuel tanks that would negate the kinematic advantage over the F-35. F-35 has the benefit of not requiring external tanks for combat missions.

On the flip side, the F-35 would have a Situational Awareness advantage and exploited this for both WVR and BVR engagements. The F-35 pilots won fairly by flying to their jets advantages.

AWL: Andrew's Weaving Language
At some point attention becomes the ultimate resource. Most people earn income by paying attention to somebody else's projects. But with a little introspection and basic goal setting training, many people identify projects to which they would prefer to give their attention if income were not an issue. I think a society in which a higher proportion of one's time can be spent on personal projects vs. other's projects is a goal worth working towards.

I hear ya on the data mining observation. I have been digging into 'applied' ML for the last two years or so and its painfully obvious how many articles are based on science fiction and not the current state of things (which appears to be mostly reinforcement learning)
That's only a problem is you want to use blob storage to host the root of a static site content... blob storage can be used for a lot more than just as static content hosting.

I think the ease of Azure Storage (Table/Blob/Queues) is pretty awesome, and getting up and running with Azure SQL is nice as well. Both are FAR easier to get started with than the AWS and GCE equivalents.

By comparison I think that AWS is really painful in the number of options for any given service, and their cost model makes it more expensive to get started with. On the flip side, it feels like Azure's compute nodes are pretty overpriced as well.

If you're willing to roll your own, Linode or DigitalOcean may be better options.

I haven't used GCE enough to comment really.
Provable is rather the key bit - like Washington, I too am apparently a descendent of Odin, through several branches of my once-aristocratic family.

I put no stead whatsoever in it, as it both assumes no bastardy or affairs, and that legendary genealogies are factual.

That said, it is fun to watch "Vikings" and go "he's my 37th great grandfather".

In fact, going by my DNA I have a sizeable chunk of west African in me - which appears nowhere in the family tree.
> That still leaves sysadmins that you no longer need when using the cloud

Looking at our timesheets, managing cloud setups takes more time on average than managing bare metal server setups, and the amount of time spent handling hardware issues make up ~1%-2% of ops time spent on the bare metal setups for our systems. We "save" that on the cloud setups, but end up having spend more to account for dealing with crappy APIs to do all kinds of things we have much more direct control over instead.
Yeah, so describe how you think the middle class is doing these days.
>As for costs, sending 1 TB out will cost $90,000 in S3 transfer costs, before any other discounts.

1TB out would be closer to $0.09 * 1024 == $92.16 (still expensive) -- think you may have misplaced a decimal there.
If you are one of the best who can do all the developer work fast and the business rules, go for it, little by little.

I am on the other side of the fence. I'm trying to build something for myself but from time to time I dream to be employed. Even when I took a job, not it IT, the employers could see that I was not totally into that job, and I think that was the reason why I left some jobs or I was fired at other times. No one likes an employee who lacks motivation.

I suggest to wait for the right time if you care so much for the current job and dont want to loose it. Once you start a project your mind will be all the time at that. If you dont believe me, I'm telling you I was driving my employer by car and my mind was just not there, I was not going to stop at red at traffic lights, but I did because my employer did shout. And I worked other jobs also but my mind was not there.
I used to be a huge TF2 fan, I've got about 2k hours logged. But I haven't played in a long time, it really needs a breath of fresh air and to bring out TF3. I get that they are still making a killing off in game purchases, but they could do the same thing with a newer version, allowing people to bring items over with a 'vintage' like characterisation.

My main competitive game I play now is overwatch. They took a winning idea, and improved upon it with many more classes than TF2, and took elements from other genres (ie dota and 'ultimates')
Mostly agree :). If you are a marketing team of three and you're trying to do SEM/SEO, email, vertical advertising, channel programs, comms and social, then these tools are a lifesaver.

But if your team is big enough to have even one dedicated social media person, then they should be doing their due diligence and maximizing the quality of their content and channels. That almost always means doing a lot of the work manually so you get the biggest bang.

Plus, in reality, we're talking about 3-4 channels. It really isn't that time consuming to manually handle a lot of what Buffer automates.

Don't get me wrong, as products go Buffer is certainly solid and our team uses it sparingly, but I really think too many people get lazy and overly rely on automation.
A nice article but neither. The future of the web are webcomponents.

So today react/vue - after all they are component frameworks, but tommorow Polymer/Angular2 (or other native web component library) which already has most of its polyfills supported natively in browsers.

ING Banking, USAToday(gannet), Youtube, Salesforce, Slack, General Electric, Electronic Arts, Coca Cola, and Google obviously - are all going web standards route - so they use web components.

In the end it will the the fastest solution and the smallest as the core of it is part of w3c standards. Even chrome UI is powered by polymer.

https://www.webcomponents.org/ has over 500 elements to pick from - its really great to build on top of that.

> The payout function can be contingent on either the buyer or arbitrators releasing the funds.

How long is the discovery period? What about "returns"? What if the arbitrator is working with the seller and scams me? When does "I have a big gun and I am not afraid to use it" come into the function?

> The arbitrators can be determined before hand or rely on an external contract that offers arbitration services.

And how much will those services cost? Who vets the arbitrator? What is my recourse if arbitration fails?

> The possibilities are truly endless.

Yes, I agree. This is just built for a place that does not yet exist.
I think it would be best if he described what he meant by scalability. I think he meant in terms of team scalability. Since it is the most frameworky it has fewer design decision by your team and devs are more interchangeable. Of course you have to get past the learning curve for that to be true.
yep, use Intel e1000e NICs for freeBSD on VMware hosts.
If distance was acceptable you could use satellites. I think you need to escort your drone swarm into hostile territory using something like an F-35 so the whole package can penetrate as a unit.

You might even want the drones to fly behind using a wire-guided system so they can't be jammed.

Imagine the F-35 trailing a cable that spreads out to 1000 wires. It's basically just a way of giving one F-35 a thousand smart missiles that it could never fly itself.

The basic idea is used by MIRV ICBMS. You get the whole thing into enemy territory quickly and then launch more attacks than the defense can hope to counter.

1. Fly to the edge of enemy territory.

2. Launch your F-35 towards the enemy.

3. Launch 1000 drone missiles following the F-35 (maybe from a C-130)

4. Split off drone missiles in variable sized chunks according each target detected.

Just imagine an F-35 with a dozen F-22s vs an F-35 with 1,000 flying missiles behind it.
From what I've read GCE offers better performance numbers, but I haven't worked with it so can't comment.

I will say I find that Azure's service offerings (blobs, tables, queues, and sql) much easier to get started with, and for less cost than the AWS equivalents, but compute nodes are more expensive and less performant.
I've pretty much only heard about it in the context of OLAP. If your data model requires transactions, you're gonna have a hard time when you outgrow a database.
Being unrepentant is different from forgetting. You said "America is allowed to forget", but that just isn't true. We are constantly reminded. It gets shoved down our throats all the time by self-loathing types, and most of us reject the guilt trip. Mostly, the rest of the world is far more awful, and we are thus justified in our national pride.

This will break in a lot of pages as the html will be different on each request in most pages although the content will be the same. Perhaps it would be better to compare visible text rather than the raw html.
When making HTTP requests with Go (or any language) you should at least consider the following:

- Setting a User Agent (req.Header.Set(Key, Value))

- Setting Timeouts (https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-complete-guide-to-golang-net...)

- Avoiding ioutil.ReadAll() and checking body length (or using https://golang.org/pkg/io/#LimitReader)

theaviationist.com article: Royal Norwegian Air Force pilot writes from Arizona his experiences with the F-35 and compares it to his F-16 experience. Possibly a PR piece. He concludes the F-35 is more maneuverable at low speed and high angle of attack.

scout.com article: Matt Hayden, US Air Force, also says he likes the F-35.
I keep putting it off.
It's very easy to do, by arresting anyone who will accept transactions from you. The US government can destroy crypto-currencies overnight, by simply shutting down interfaces between the crypto-currency, and the rest of the world (exchanges and payment processors).
Companies don't pay employees relative to the value provided, they pay them what they can win in negotiation.

One of the most important pieces in that negotiation is the employee's opportunity cost. "What would companies in your city pay you?" is a very relevant question, especially when most good tech jobs are not remote friendly.

If we see remote take off in a big way, I expect "you live in a cheap city, we'll give you less money" to stop working as remote companies do away with it to attract better talent. That is, unless the best talent stays in the most expensive cities, and like to use that as an excuse for "fairly" getting more salary :)
1) Would explain stagnent prices, not prices going up as a percentage of total income. And I am about as convinced that there is a massive difference in how much things inflate as I am that the sun will rise tomorrow (one example: compare how much better an iphone you get in 17 vs 07 when they launch with how much gas you can buy for a set amount of hours worked).

2) I am not sure how that would work. If we take gas as an example, then if that is 10% of the cost to produce a good intuitively it should be at most 20% of the cost to produce a good even if it doubles (and might be a lot less, if the new higher cost of gas means it is cheaper to produce closer to the consumer).
It's fundementally about control.

The people in power are afraid they will not remain in power if suddenly tens of millions of adults are given the opportunity and free time to scrutinize the decisions of the elite.
Wordpress is used for more than 25% of internet sites. That also means that is the CMS most hacked :)

Fortunately the WP and its community is working hard to fix the problems asap and make new release.

The major problem is that people doesn't update the cms. I really recommend the auto-updated and a good management of all plugins versions. If you are a delveoper and you are taking care of several wp sites, there are many plugin that can help you to manage the WP and plugins versions for a large number of sites.
I'd recommend Linode for startups.
