Except GTK is not the product, Gnome is. Your argument is absolutely true for end user products that are the focus of development. But the Gnome developers are not focused on GTK - they are focused on their desktop as their product, and the toolkit is just an abstraction to make development easier.

I think the schism was that this was a change of behavior, because like you said, GTK2 was pretty much toolkit first desktop second. The focus was on the toolkit that enabled the desktop, rather than the toolkit being along to complete the vision of the desktop. Back then I would definitely have considered GTK the premiere product of the Gnome developers.

A similar thing is happening, I would say, in reverse from KDE - long ago the applications and the desktop were the star, and the libraries were just there to enable the desktop. Then in KDE 5 the libraries were split up, dependencies were mapped, and documentation was improved - along with significant upstream contributions from KDE into qt5 to make that better - to make their libraries generic C++ libraries for general use. Today, I may not say the frameworks are the premier (Plasma Desktop and the applications suite are still huge) but they are at least equal in importance in terms of development effort - just consider how Kirigami and Plasma Mobile were announced - a library for development and a desktop component.

But it really should just demonstrate with these desktops its at the discretion of the developers themselves, rarely paid, volunteering their time, to spend it how they think it would be most valuable. If they don't move in the direction you want, you can be disappointing, but it is not the death of a product by misdirection - it is a realigning of objectives.

I would definitely not recommend anyone use GTK for anything but Gnome specific software within the Gnome project. Qt and the KDE Frameworks are just so good now its not even close in my mind, especially with versioning. But the Gnome developers still produce a fantastic desktop that I can easily showcase along side others and it shows its polish over alternatives like Plasma or Unity, and they make a valuable contribution for it.

You can mourn the loss of portable GTK, you can even suggest it be like that again, but in the face of a conscientious effort by its developers to deviate from that history, you have to respect that they are doing it intentionally and Internet complaints aren't going to change their minds, nor should they. I respect them for their contributions to free software too much to harp on them for not doing what I want.
This article is pretty good instruction, but very good SEO. I know quite a few people asking this question.

To be a tad more concrete: GunDB can run in the browser as well as on servers; CockroachDB is a traditional, client/server database. GunDB is aiming for eventual consistency, but when I looked a year ago, it seemed like the algorithm they chose wasn't actually convergent--nodes could diverge because non-commutative updates could be applied in different orders on different nodes. CockroachDB, by contrast, is a serializable, single-key linearizable store. I don't think GunDB offers transparent sharding or SQL, both of which are important aspects of CockroachDB.

Both depend on wall clocks.
I flew up to Vancouver for a wedding. I'd lived there before and strangely I was aggressively questioned at Canadian Customs.

Why are you here? A wedding. Where are you staying? 2400 Motel out on Kingsway. Oh, a site of known criminal activity.

One thing I've found super helpful on my current project (which happens to be node) is using OSS concepts and npm as a unit of modularity.

Eg, everything is just a grab bag of functions in an npm module (sometimes with a closure holding some state - I either reject or don't understand FP people when they claim FP doesn't have state).

Each module has tests, dependencies, a README, and if it is reusable by other projects, is even OSSd and published. Writing software as if it's going to be published makes me be more modular. Being modular makes things easier to reason about and therefore has stopped by codebase from becoming complex to work with.
Given that border agents may go as far as cloning hard drive contents, what advantage does an additional partition have? A thorough search may uncover the hidden/encrypted partition, which then becomes another item for which you'd be requested to provide "technical assistance."

> which crashes the road-space efficiency of the central area, which damages not just the people driving into the centre, but also the people who live close in, who are using much more efficient and scalable forms of transport.

More traffic on the central roads is induced demand, but as jessriedel said, that's likely a sign of added value. Cars from outside displacing cars from the centre should only happen when it's a net gain - the limited road space is being used by those who gain the most value from it. People who live nearby and use trains etc. are unaffected by traffic on the central roads and can live exactly as they would if the motorway hadn't been built. Cars displacing more efficient buses is a real issue, but a general one not really related to building motorways (an increase in local car traffic would cause the same issue), and can be solved with e.g. bus lanes, congestion charges...
Try reading OSS C++ code and cross check it with C++ FAQ;
because they all operate under the assumption that incidental characteristics like where someone is born and what color their skin is are more important than motivational characteristics like do they want to be in the U.S, do they agree with American values, and will they be a contributing citizen here.

If you had to leave the US forever, which of these places would you most and least want to move to? What would be your ranking of desirability? Canada, Mexico, Australia, Hong Kong, Lagos, Costa Rica, Belize.

For me, I would most want to move to Canada and least Lagos. I'd also prefer Costa Rica over Belize. And Australia over Hong Kong over Belize over Lagos.

What makes Australia and Hong Kong more desirable than Lagos and Belize? What makes Canada more desirable than Mexico? Why do all the liberals who hate Trump threaten to move to Canada and not Mexico? It's not the geography. It's not like Canada has better weather. It's the people. (People will say it is things like the government dysfunction or the culture or the language, but of course, those are just properties of a group of people, not the land).

We're more likely to have liberal immigration policies with regards from countries that we see as desirable places to live. That is because 1) being desirable places, most people in those countries won't want to leave, and thus we won't be overwhelmed by their numbers. 2) since those people have made their country a desirable place, if large numbers of those people move here, it won't decrease our quality of life. I won't fear a decrease in government quality or cultural alienation if a large number of Canadians move to the United States.

In other words, country of origin is heuristic that will correlate with do they agree with American values, and will they be a contributing citizen here. Could we find a better heuristic? Maybe. Do you have any ideas?
I would also include the iMac, which was badly needed when it came out. A computer people actually wanted to own rather than grudgingly accept. Also the "it just works" philosophy which almost overnight raised the bar for what customers should expect in terms of UX. Also, the availability of Microsoft Office was key to early success, which other new platforms of the time (e.g. BeOS, the budding desktop Linux) just couldn't muster.

Similarly the Macbook Pro for raising the bar in terms of what users could expect from the high end (aluminium body, sleek bevel, rock-solid reliability, high performance).

Just to underline iTunes a little more - hand in glove with the iPod and eventually the iPhone completely turned the music industry upside down and gave it a new impetus since being destroyed by illegal downloading.

App Store and iPhone revolutionised lifestyle computing (ad hoc: there's probably a better term) by getting the balance between the walled garden and innovation just right (various others had attempted this before but fell between these two stools).

Also iCloud deserves a footnote for the automatic cloud backups if nothing else, which is still one of the killer features that keeps me with the platform.

It's an interesting correlation that most of these innovations (perhaps all?) proceeded under Steve Jobs' watch. Interesting that not much has happened since ... the watch maybe is kind of cool but I don't think we're seeing the same kind of stellar revolutionary uptake and ROI with these other products.

I wonder if he was around still would apple have made inroads into TV yet? Not much higher walled gardens than Film (Pixar), Music or Telecomms ... it would at least have been interesting to watch.

Many say he wasn't the nicest guy going but for me that's beside the point. Innovator on a global scale.

Ah, the underground Mars colony. It was confusing to me as to why this was so relevant to SpaceX that they'd not only take away engineering resources from other projects, but also start ripping up their parking lot to experiment.

If you want to build a radiation-shielded settlement on Mars, the best bet is to dig. But how do you dig on Mars? Just as Tesla & SpaceX solve the question of electric power in space, this project starts to solves the underground colony question...
Correct. Rice's theorem limits the ability to check a program, e.g. with a compiler.

Sigh. And in Norway the highest "off the shelf" cap is 200gb/month at ~800 NOK :/

I'm not clear what the providers think the future will be - even 200gb is a tight fit for streaming 1080p video, never mind 4k or 8k hdr.

Looks like they'll continue to drag their feet with fiber, and continue to spend on dsl while struggling to get people to commit to 4g (because at current price/datacap/coverage it doesn't really make sense).

Or maybe it's the electronics dealers that will take the hit because lossy 720p doesn't look any better on a 4/8k screen...

As a Republican I think this is a repugnant idea. ISPs should be treated as utilities in this age. They should simply be dumb pipes. They should not be allowed to monitor, track, and snoop through your data. This is all the more reason that websites should be using HTTPS to prevent eavesdropping and modification of data in transit.
The one thing I always tell anyone on the job hunt, which few ever seem to take me up on: Informational Interviews. These are informal "can I take you out to coffee?" talks with people in your industry to see what they are working on, what is happening with them, what is going on in the industry. Every job I have ever gotten is through informal meetings with people I have met through my network (whether its the current employer, your friends, parents, relatives, or other).

At the end of every one I ask: "Is there anyone else you think I should talk to?" and "Do you currently have any opportunities at your company for me?". Rinse repeat.
I guarantee investing in 30 informational interviews will yield huge dividends vs. 30 career fairs, a personal pitch deck, starting a blog, dusting off your resume, or God Forbid: applying to a million jobs on online portals.

So, why is Twitter such a car crash as far as censorship goes? I've heard of shadowbanning, account limiting, double standards for freedom of speech based on political orientation and now stuff like this.

Heh... Horsepower. Candela. We have a lot of precedents ;)
>Why if I had cable TV would I use the Apple TV to access content I already have on Cable TV without the Apple TV?

Maybe you don't want to pay the monthly fee for another cable box. Maybe you're on vacation and brought your Apple TV. Or maybe the on demand access sucks (U-verse) and you can get full access to HD shows via AppleTV apps.

Once these apps allow a DIRECTV now or SlingTV login I'll never buy cable again.

Most people will simply evaluate this on the fact that Apple TV is $150. But if you want streaming, Chromecast/Fire/Roku are $35 and for streaming + high-end gaming, PS4/XBone are $250. The pricing of Apple TV makes no sense at all among the competition.
Free nights and weekends is exactly anti-net-neutrality.

I have always been an advocate for more, open, spectrum, and simple laws to outlaw intentional interference. We are not operating dumb radios - we can dynamically change or allocate spectrum channels to load balance congestion and avoid making it worse.

To legally cordon off everyone into separate silos is a hatchet solution to a nuanced problem with much better solutions if you could just incentivize good behavior and punish bad in commons.

I do not believe for a second we cannot technologically transfer h265 video via radio to every individual in even the highest population densities if we had full access to building infrastructure around all of the spectrum of light we use for communications.

"Amazing how", "Interesting how", "Amusing how", "Funny how" followed by some trite, oft-repeated generalized remark are not very productive ways of starting a constructive conversation.

For politically-charged articles, some times it's the only way to start a conversation without being downvoted.

And despite your criticism about my "trite" remark, you seem to be contributing more to shutting down the conversation than promoting it.
Right. Since they may ask for social media passwords, would that imply making a travel profile for my travel devices that has password access to things like Facebook and a subset of sites I'd need, but not necessarily all 400+ of my logins?

I don't care if they login to my Facebook (well, I think I don't). I just don't want to have them have everything, because then I'd have to change it all.

To be very clear, not planning to use any encryption strategies. And as you mentioned, being unable to access Facebook is not a sensible option. My question is about what to bring, not how to secure it.

I suspect this is an understatement. Looking forward to you expounding on your views in greater detail sometime.
Personally, I took some time to learn.

I don't mean learning on the job, or learning for a purpose, but rather, studying.

It won't, however, buy you anything beyond what you feel you have gained (no one will necessarily care about what you learned).

But for yourself, take that time, and enjoy the experience.

As IT people, we tend to be focus on acquiring knowledge for a purpose, and we aren't always great at actually learning, vs. learning what we need to do right now.

I found that receiving education I sought out was beneficial, and made me more engaged in learning.
That isn't marketable, but from a personal perspective, is important.

As others have suggested, see what the state can do to help the financial side of things, and think about this in a different way: if you had quit, and wanted to find the right step to take next, what would you do?

It is a luxury to do this (I live in Europe, it is easier), but one you should consider affording yourself: you are your first work tool.

The rock is very soft and we have earthquakes here. It took decades to approve the subway line down Wilshire Blvd. I'm assuming SpaceX gets special permission to do anything it wants, but it's still very surprising that they can just start digging a giant hole in the parking lot without some opposition
