> why should the US be forced

You've got it backwards. Nobody is forcing the US to take anyone. Instead, employers in the US are instead being forced to hire native workers, and are effectively being prohibited from hiring from the rest of the world. It's this prohibition that needs to be defended.

I'm an employer, and I want to hire a French software developer. I'm willing to pay him $160,000 a year. But now, immigration restrictionists are getting in my way and saying that I can't hire him. If I hire him disregarding the laws prohibiting me from doing so, I would get hit by heavy fines and might literally be thrown in jail. Immigration restrictionists effectively advocate for the use of state violence to block me from employing non-Americans.

Now this isn't some hypothetical story that I came up with. I work for a French company that has an office in New York, and we've tried to bring a Software Developer from our Paris office for two years now. For two years in a row, he lost the H-1B lottery both times. The L-1B visa didn't work out either. My company which is French-owned and French-based and has to deal with this stuff. It's this restrictionism that has got to be justified.
The runaway favorite in wind energy is Denmark, where wind turbines, predominantly offshore-based, produced 44% of the total energy production in 2016.

https://apps.axibase.com/slider/energinet-2016/?slide=2

However, wind energy production is remarkably volatile with the minimum and maximum average hourly production per day being two orders of magnitude apart: 912.7 MWh (min) vs 102.6 GWh (max).

https://apps.axibase.com/slider/energinet-2016/?slide=24

They started incentivizing solar generation since it is counter-seasonal compared to wind, wind is stronger in winter months.

https://apps.axibase.com/slider/energinet-2016/?slide=5

This is not sufficient however, so sufficient reserved conventional capacity and interconnects to Norway (hydro) and Germany (gas) is something that helps them even out production on abnormal days.
I went through that same list while researching note taking apps a couple months ago. I downloaded and tried a bunch but none of them really hit the sweet spot for me.

I'm glad that Collate hits the same use cases for you as it did for me!
These are my thoughts (as a webdeveloper):

We have 5 big browsers and 3 OS's that we need to support (different rendering, different canvas rendering, not to mention 3d rendering quircks, different installed fonts), I think we don't need yet another way to make our lives difficult.

I understand that privacy is a big issue, but think about "normal" web developers who just want to show a cool working website to their users, but need to display this message to them: "Thank you for looking at our website, but unfortunately your browser is in lite JavaScript mode. Please set it to full functionality again and restart your browser en go to our site once more.".

I have already used dirty hacks to support the default setting of 3rd party cookies in Safari, while developing facebook apps or some apps inside an iframe that have different domains. It's there to make users feel more secure, but there are always ways around it.

It would be better to add the functionality you are suggesting as an option and not by default, so people, who understand the "risks" of not viewing some sites properly in favor of more privacy, will turn it on by themselves.
Pijul – A free and open source distributed version control system
After a few years playing around with BASIC I tried to teach myself proper programming with C++. I quickly ended up confused and bored at not getting anything non-trivial working that I gave up on programming all together. It wasn't before years later I when was introduced to Perl and then discovered Python before I started programming again. When I few years after that again took another stab at C++ it was so much easier.
AWS Launches Amazon Chime, a Skype for Business Competitor
Shouldn't flagging it be sufficient?
I'm in a strong financial position and support my kids and their education to a very great extent.

Even given that, I'm unlikely to co-sign on a substantial loan for their education. Most parents would be even less willing (or in a less strong position) to co-sign for a loan that can't be discharged in bankruptcy. (And I completely support why they can't be discharged in bankruptcy.)

What we might be able to do is transition the federal guarantee to a private (or possibly still federal) insurance program with properties like variable PMI, factoring in credit, degree, grades, criminal record, or anything else actuarially linked to future repayment prospects. I don't love that idea, for many of the same reasons you mention, but that is a possibly workable middle ground of sorts.

Hi. This is my 2nd algoritm visualization. Creating them is fun.

Besides designing the illustrations, I've spent a lot of time crafting the framework so expect more of these in the future. Ongoing effort, but also tried to make the codebase approachable for others to learn from and be able to contribute: https://github.com/skidding/illustrated-algorithms

How would you make algorithms fun? Looking forward to ideas and feedback. Thanks!
Is Chime based on WebRTC in any way?
Users perceive the app store as giving a level of curation and security. If it became a list of "all Mac software that exists," and one of those turned out to be dodgy, Apple's image would take a real hit.

Also, what would listing software that hasn't been through the submissions process actually mean? That the app is verified by Apple? That going to the site and putting your credit card number into the shopping cart is guaranteed to be secure? That other things that haven't been listed yet are not as favoured in some way?

I'm not saying I like the app store model, or that they can't have a second tier of lower-scrutiny apps. I do think it would need a lot of thought and care, however.

Have you updated the OS? I found battery to be a problem on my 15" until 10.12.3, wherein it's much improved.
No, since it is stupidly expensive in itself. Moreover, AWS services in general are ridiculously expensive for what has always turned out to be a sub-par experience. Overly complicated to set up and manage, lacklustre performance, and premium pricing. Thanks, but no thanks.

older version of wget and Java also doesn't support SNI, for example used in API https callbacks, or Android apps.
One trick I use it to load that site (or the most important) first in nginx, because those that doesn't support SNI will use that certificate.

Another option, if you don't need encryption, is to allow http.

Why not? The whole point is that yes, the kids are struggling to choose a major, and a large number of the time they make a bad decision. If their ability to receive funding was dependent on what they chose to study, then the idea is that more students will choose more productive and beneficial majors.

And the problem you pose is easily solvable. They have to re-apply for loans every school year. Maybe pretty much everyone gets funding freshman year before they declare, but when they re-apply for sophomore year their major is taken into account. If you switch majors mid-year, then when you re-apply the following year, you get evaluated. Or if you received funding for a given year, you are not allowed to switch your major during that year.

EDIT: It's really not all that different than home loans being determined by income, credit history, etc. If you are going to ask for a $500k home loan, you better have the income to pay it back. If you are going to ask for a $100k student loan, you better have the projected/expected future income to pay it back.

Just download an app that requires you to register with your phone number and then hand out your phone number to anyone you want to chat to. I mean, all the NSA-proof crypto is fantastic, but they didn't exactly test it with anyone who has had to worry about less theoretical non-state actors like, oh, jealous exes, abusive partners, creepy Tinder dates and so on.

Sparkle is ahead of whats available on windows, but I still find it super annoying. I hate going to use a program and - just at that point I most want to get work done, I get annoying popups. "There's an update available! Quick - make some decisions about it! click" ugh wait for download "Restart the app to continue!" click "Heyyy, check out our new features! clickkkkkkk".

Its a total momentum killer. Like, imagine if randomly (every month or so) instead of loading immediately hackernews took 1 minute to load instead, and it required that you babysit it the whole time while you hit "next".

Personally I wish all apps used Chrome's update mechanism. Its unobtrusive, the patches are tiny compared to the size of Chrome and it works great. Most users don't even know the updates are happening.

Thats how I want all apps (and, frankly, my OS) to update. Just, silently and reliably. No annoying popups. No decisions to make when I'm trying to get work done. No waiting for the update to happen. Update yourself quickly in the background, and do it without bothering me.

Given how long chrome's updater has been out I'm surprised there's no embeddable Sparkle-like version for 3rd party apps to use.
Yes, it pretty much is!

It's built off the [Collate data format](https://github.com/Collateapp/collate-file-format) which is just plaintext markdown files with YAML encoded metadata. One of the underlying principals of Collate is that you should be able to traverse your notes in a file browser and edit them in a text editor manually if for whatever reason Collate doesn't work for you. The current iteration of Collate is exactly that, and I'm looking to build on top of that going forward!

you can go past 6 months without naming your child but you are fined, I can't remember at which point the child will be given a name if you won't provide one.

Also of course if you give your child a name that is not recognized as a name by the name register there is a process for okaying that name, so in that case your child can have a name in the family but not an official governmental name yet.
And apparently you can, in some jurisdictions, re-name your baby within a few days of birth, replacing the original name (it's not even considered a rename - it voids the previous naming, as if it had never happened).

Good point. So maybe browsers should make the full version the default and then add the following options for more tech savvy users (and users can set the permanent default or per website setting):

1) full mode (all JS is enabled)

2) lite mode (only the bare JS is enabled, no tracking possible)

3) suggested mode (a machine learning algorithm decides what is really needed to be enabled and what is there for tracking purposes)

4) manual mode (somewhere in the settings you can tick and untick verious JS APIs that you want enabled and disabled, like websockets, WebGL etc)

Screen sharing not being available for free is going to make us skip the free trial. We have plenty of options for voice and chat. And video just isn't that important to my teams. Screen sharing, however, is vital. And we are willing to pay, but as long as hangouts works for free, why pay?

I know everyone says hangouts is dead and Google isn't putting much work into it. But it does work. And unless they actually shut it down, it gives us what we need. Free. We don't use it for large webinars or anything, and it has its flaws, but... free. That is a really hard point to beat.

I'll admit the act itself can be a not very stimulating exercise (ha), but there's a few counterpoints. One, doing the work, breaking your previous achievement gives a lot of satisfaction.

Currently you can attach images to notes but I really want to add a way to attach an image and have it download and save to the attachments folder. Then have an insert button available.

So one would download an image, attach it to the note, and then they could right click on the attachment and click insert into body or something like that.

Another idea was to create a web clipper 'note type' and expand past just simple markdown notes. Note types would be for example, a web clipper note type which would download a webpage for offline consumption as a note. Or a list note type which has check boxes, list items, etc. One could potentially be a gallery or image note type for attaching and viewing image.

I'm still thinking through the idea and implementation but it's one of the features I'd really like to implement. I think it would make note taking way more flexible than just markdown.

That's degrading the definition of design. WP was not even hacked-together/designed to be a full-fledged CMS in the first place!

It is certainly more designed then the early versions of popular CMSes. But one thing for sure, Drupal 8 is still not designed to be fast.

Not all languages suffer from slowness by abstractions. Rust, OCaml and Haskell come to mind. These languages are "designed". Again I'd argue that PHP is not designed but hacked together without much thought for design -- find some Rasmus quotes and you know what I mean.
