I created this after losing couple of custom domain gmail accounts (when the domains got expired ). This service should help keep an up-todate copy of gmail backups, incase account is locked or lost.

Would really appreciate some feedback, on whether the service is useful to you, and if not, why ?

Thanks,
OP.
The ARM ports have never been "official" ports of Arch Linux. This announcement is about dropping one of the official ports, the 32-bit-only version.
>The usual way to solve this, is a simplified onboard system. Crash prevention and the like. Probably an Arduino or ESP8266.

My idea was have something like that hooked in to the bigger board via USB - the Android is creating flight plans and the micro controller is just managing the motors and following the plans it receives.

snapdragon 410 seems like it doesn't have OpenCL 2 (shared memory access ?)
That frustration and cynicism is basically the (predictable) result of being protected from actual discourse with people actually disagreeing with them. Now those people are in power, and it's not possible anymore to hide from the fact that they and their views exist.
I have not watched the video, but for people reading only comments let me clarify.

Numbers go naturals < integers < rationals < reals. Reals are the union of rationals (quotient of integers) with irrationals.

Rationals may have an infinite decimal expansion, like 1/3 has, but it has a repeating pattern at some point. Irrationals have an infinite decimal expansion and has no repetition of that kind.

This characteristic of irrationals does not depend on the base, it is always the same way. The finitude or infinitude of the representation of a rational depends on the base, but if infinite, there is a repeating pattern.
Unfortunately, events like this are one of the reasons I never was able to go all in on Gitlab. When I first started trying it out the performance was not great (it is pretty good these days though) and they just seemed to have more of these smallish events. I realize Github also has problems but it feels like they are much less frequent. I don't have any data to back that up though.

Either way, went self hosted recently so now I only worry about my server haha.
The Left seems to have bought into it too, with their utter incomprehension of how their anointed one could have lost the election.

> WhatsApp is owned by Facebook.

> They almost certainly do not have privacy as a central focus beyond its utility as a marketing bullet.

That's certainly one big concern I have with WhatsApp (and that's why I don't use it).

The other thing is WhatsApp is not as good as Telegram in UX like the GP claims it to be. As one example, Telegram has desktop clients that do not need the phone to be around after a one time account verification, whereas WhatsApp, in my knowledge, always needs the phone to be around for the desktop or web app to be useful.
1) You can argue that it makes tech much less dependent on needs of one particular entity. It can be a good or bad thing, depending on your views.
2) This one I do not agree on principle. I wish we finally stopped judging devs by "language experience" and start judging them by "domain experience". For early stage startups it might be a disadvantage, all the rest should not be concerned about it.
3) Actually it's pretty stable. It's constantly being expanded (i.e. GenStage, but I've been working with it for year and a half now and never had issues with breaking changes.
4) True, but this is a niche. Number crunching is important in some domains, but what you need from web app is usually making things work in predicable way. Everything else is more of a specialized problem which needs custom solutions.
"There should be funding bodies for projects like this who can fund projects and also provide a semblance of orchestration. "

A much better way than 'government funding' would be for users to just pay for it.

It's called 'capitalism' it works very well.

Oftentimes, it's difficult for the government and centralized bodies to know 'what to fund' and what not to - it's a hard thing, it can get political. Money goes entirely to the wrong places, even with good intentions.

It's not always possible to 'sell something' but often that works well because the amount of money allocated to the project is commensurate with it's value. Roughly.

So - 'bad projects' that are either crap, or nobody really wants - don't get funded.

And the ones that are awesome - and everybody wants to use - get support and expand.

Obviously it's not always ideal, but it's rational.

Maybe - instead of someone offering this guy a job, they could teach him how to charge a nominal amount for the software, in a manner that still respects it's 'open sourcedness'. Like a $5/month price for access to a super set of documentation, that everyone using Octave would love and have no problem paying if the used Octave.
I design and write my company's framework, that other devs use to write websites and webapps.

I base my work on existing technologies (lately Laravel, which means Symfony, Gulp, and hundreds of other great libraries) but I always strive to:

1. Reduce the number of requests per page, ideally down to 1 combined and compressed CSS, 1 JS that contains all dependencies, 1 custom font with all the icons. Everything except HTML and AJAX should be cacheable forever and use versioned file naming.

2. Make the JS as optional as possible. I will go out of my way to make interface elements work with CSS only (including the button to slide the mobile menu, various kinds of tooltips, form widget styling, and so on.) Whenever something needs JS to work (such as picture cropping or JS popups) I'll make sure the website is usable and pretty, maybe with reduced functionality or a higher number of page loads, even if the JS fails to load or is turned off. Also, the single JS file should be loaded at the end of the body.

2b. As a corollary, the website should be usable and look good both when JS is turned off, and when it's turned on but still being loaded. This can be achieved with careful use of inline styles, short inline scripts, noscript tags, and so on.

3. Make the CSS dependency somewhat optional too. As a basic rule, the site should work in w3m, as pointed out above. Sections of HTML that make sense only when positioned by CSS should be placed at the end of the body.

I consider all of this common sense, but unfortunately not all devs seem to have the knowledge, skill, and/or time allowance to care for these things, because admittedly they only matter for < 1% of most website's viewers.
That only matters if browser vendors stay ahead of the bloat curve (which I'm not so sure). Otherwise, one could say that for given performance point of the system (hardware platform + browser), there's a set level of bloat software sticks at, making the perceived performance constant.
Is Afrika Ready for the 4th Industrial Revolution?
I was wondering that too. For something like this maximum room for future expansion seems good. In the past I've used mITX to build low-power, low-noise machines, rather than building a high-powered processing beast.

On the other hand, it made the article more interesting for me. I can't really justify a home machine learning rig, but I was thinking I might soon replace that old mITX machine.

(edit - just reached the pics - really not sure why you'd go with a mini form factor and then add a 6" heatsink/fan!)
I don't know. The premise was precisely that labor would become more expensive.

The idea is that if we can automate "everything" (i.e. everything that can be automated), then we'll be left with human-only services. Since humans are scarce, and there will be rising demand from the income effect, people can still perfectly live off exchanging services.

I'm not sure that makes macroeconomic sense, so if someone wants to clarify misunderstandings for me, I'd be happy to hear it.

IMHO the best way to start working with Elixir is to persuade people in your current place to give it a try. In the age of microservices it should be doable and later on it creates the market. That's what I did anyway.

Bingo. Automation is cheaper, not higher quality. The only people that consider not talking to service agents or cashiers an improvement in service have social anxiety issues or something similar. A checker at a grocery store actually does all of the work for you. Objectively it is better in every way unless you consider it a negative to be involved in human interaction.
For general purpose programming I consider the meta languages (ML) to be great. E.g. Rust, Typescript, Swift, Scala, F#, Haskell, Ocaml etc. Something like Hindly-Milner typesystem in order to build good tooling. Scripting languages don't have this so I don't consider them great. Facebook build one for PHP after the fact and at great cost. So, I consider them successful despite the initial lack of a type system. It is great that the world is catching on to ML languages now. This stuff has been around since the 70s so it has been ridiculously slow.

I may get flamed for pointing this out either by people who are offended by the viewpoint, or by those who find it so bleeding obvious as to not be worth stating, but those page hangs (and I know exactly what you mean) are really down to poorly architected and implemented front-ends rather than an inherent flaw with JavaScript-heavy apps and pages.

Any time you do an XHR you can supply both a success and a failure callback and, if you care at all about your users, the failure callback can come in handy for error recovery, handing off to a retry mechanism, etc.

Modern web apps can be a lot more like fat client apps, just running in a browser. Even there, there's no inherent need for them to be unusable, even over relatively slow connections. A lot of it comes down to latency, and the number of requests going back and forth between client and server, often caused by the sheer quantity of assets many sites load (I'm looking at YOU, almost every media site on the Internet).

I seem to spend my life citing this paper, from 1996, but "It's the latency, stupid" is still relevant today: http://www.stuartcheshire.org/rants/latency.html.

Even with a staging server, things can pass testing but fail in production if the staging environment provides an imperfect simulation of the production environment - and that's almost inevitable.

For example, your staging environment servers should be connecting to a different database with a different password. If the password's right in the staging config but wrong (or missing) in the production config, things that work in staging can fail in production.

I would agree if we were talking about center-right or center-left politicians, where the biggest criticism is "being too much like the previous person".

Trump, for example, lost the popular vote and seems to anger many of the people who voted for him. The only voices of support we hear are from Vladimir Putin and Marine Le Pen.

People are afraid and feel the impulse to do what they can to counter what is happening right now.

On a tangential note, I would recommend the 1995 French (fiction) movie "La Haine" (Hate). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Haine
This is undoubtedly true. One thing to note though is that I believe that Elixir/Erlang model of programming just fits well with the demands of web applications. There is a lot of cognitive load you're relieved from just because the used abstractions actually seem well suited for the task.
That sounds like one of those "alternative facts". After following the cite trail from Wikipedia, it was apparently something someone from the hydrogen car industry said at a conference. No further cite or info on what exactly they are counting in that figure.
It's surprisingly difficult to find the median car price. I just spent 15 minutes googling and could find neither the statistic itself nor a source of the data from which I could compute it.
I'm surprised vendor lock-in was not mentioned as a problem. I suppose it's a fundamental problem with offering "BaaS" and since the author is pushing his own BaaS offering, any critique of vendor lock-in may be unlikely.

I first used parse for a mobile app that grew to 600k users. I was totally against adopting parse, for a number of reasons including the unpredictable billing, failing background jobs, and the need for retry logic in every single write query. But my biggest issue was with vendor lock-in. When your app succeeds, and the backend is dependent on parse being in business, parse becomes a liability. Eventually you will need to take on a project to "migrate off parse." And you know what? That sucks for parse, because they were counting on power users to pay the big bills. But in reality, once a customer became a "power user," they started the process of migrating off parse.

When parse shutdown, I initially felt vindicated - ha! Vendor lock-in. But they handled the shut down and transition to open source extremely well. As a result, parse-server is now an open sourced, self hosted product with all the benefits of Parse.com but without the vendor lock-in!

I've been using parse-server exclusively for new projects. I'm very happy with it and it is always improving (though backwards compatibility has been hit or miss... but that's the price of rapid releases). It's very easy to setup, and does a lot of crud for you (user registration, email confirmation, login, forgot password, sessions). You can call the API from an open source SDK in almost any language on any platform (note: I'm the maintainer of ParsePy). Also, because you have direct access to mongo, you can optimize query performance outside of parse. For example you can create unique indexes, where with parse you had to query for duplicate objects at application level. There's even initial support for Postgres instead of mongo. Also, the dashboard is nice for non-technical people on your team to understand your data structures and ask more informed questions.

I'm not sure I would ever use another BaaS. It just seems like such a dumb decision to offload the entire backend of your app to a proprietary service. If the service was totally open source from the beginning, with a self hosted option, then I would consider it. At least that eliminates the threat of vendor lock-in. I get the feeling that the excellent handling of parse.com shutdown was an exception to the rule. I don't want to take unnecessary risks with the most important code of a project.
Well, the competition is Emacs.
We've had something similar for millennia, but back then fake news was called gossip or rumor.

The same phenomenon that causes these fake articles to go viral is the same thing that makes rumors and gossip travel so quickly through social circles. I think it comes from a need for self-preservation. Like 'ya that's probably not true, but I better pay attention just in case'.

The neat thing about social media is that it formalizes social circles such that they can become measured and analyzed. We might actually be able to get ahead of things like racist theories or fascist propaganda, but the technology is still in its adolescence.

I agree.

Two things though:

* Developers, in general, are not business people. This may be different in Silicon Valley, but in a lot of the world, programmers have spent their life concentrating on one thing, learning to program. That doesn't mean they don't just "not know how" to start a business and find clients. It means they don't even know how to do the basic, first steps to registering one, knowing what to charge, etc. Let alone the complications of supporting an open source model on top of the usual business things like tax. It is just easier to throw up a paypal link and be done with it. Yes, something should be done about this, but there you go.

* When people pay for things, suddenly they expect it to .. work. As in, be stable. And be supported. And be kept up to date. All of a sudden you go from being able to work on your favorite project to supporting clients and responding to their needs. Many programmers don't want this. Admittedly, if you're floating such a project as your main income, perhaps you should be considering these kinds of things, but on the other hand one thing that keeps an FOSS project going, and gives it advantages, is not having to worry about exactly these things. It also might have a huge disincentivising effect towards contributions; why would contributor contribute if they don't get a cut? There are specific challenges in business-oriented FOSS funding models that would need to be addressed.

>When it came out, Windows 95 blew everything out of the water

We had two NeXT color slabs at the time when Win95 came out. We used them to help MS launch Win95 in Hong Kong. NeXT by then was gone as a company and the slabs were getting long in the tooth. We switched to SGI -- the SGI Indy wasn't graphically as slick as NeXT Step, but it it blew away ANYTHING out there. IRIX was a very nice BSD Unix. We built one of the first ISPs in Hong Kong on IRIX. Solaris had just come out, which was a buggy mess, and to me wasn't nearly as nice to work with as SunOS on Sparc 10s. We were running IRIX, SunOS, Solaris and not long afterwards, early versions of Slackware (which ran our Usenet servers). But even today, my fondest memories are using NeXT and SGI -- very cool, very expensive.
The problem is with the hectoring tone of the poster who seems to assume that the UK owes the rest of EU something, which I do not believe is the case.

If the EU gets easy access to streamed UK media, they will be the winnners. Many British TV shows are enjoyed across the continent; you cannot say the same thing about French, German, or Italian productions.

Did it even work usefully? While Linux itself retains backwards compatible drivers for a long time, X.org and others aren't quite as diligent.

E.g., five years ago I could not run any up to date distribution on Pentium 4 era notebooks with anything more than unaccelerated VESA framebuffers, because there were no compatible drivers for their integrated graphics card any more. (At the same time, we still had Pentium 4 servers in production use!)

That doesn't come even remotely close to "blowing everything out the water".
NeXTWorld Magazine in the early 90s was my favorite publication. Every issue showcased apps with elegant and surprising capabilities, like the first spreadsheet with pivotable rows and columns. John Carmack wrote Doom on NeXT, and claimed that NeXTStep made development ten times faster. Other developers agreed. People were excited about programming on NeXT, and not because of any reality distortion field. Reading NeXTWorld felt like seeing into the future! (Here's an archive, rather incomplete: https://simson.net/ref/NeXT/nextworld/ The pdf scans convey more of the joi de vivre surrounding NeXT than the plain text files.)

there might be some added value in premium cars - for example certification that it can go 100kmh fully autonomous (better processing hardware, more & expensive sensors), 130 (as per most EU countries) and so on. BMW can have a gap on safe driving at 200 kmh, ferrari 250 kmh.

but overall I feel those premium brands will have very tough times - most of their added value is in driving experience (for example what BMW delivers in ie 3-sedans is a wonderful experience) and this will be removed. not that many people feel the need to pay premium for something that will feel like a commercial airliner, travelling will be race to the bottom costwise.

Simply phrasing discussions in terms of "leachers" is immediately toxic to European unity. The question of who's contributing more can be toxic even when it's just a bunch of friends paying a restaurant bill; it's far more toxic when there are billions at stake.

This is part of why the Greek Euro crisis has dragged on so much. If there is to be a single currency, there must be a single bank resolution mechanism, and there must be a means of addressing fiscal imbalances. I'm still somewhat surprised that Greece hasn't left the Euro yet.
