DNS is my favourite hack in that respect because so few people are aware of it.

For those who don't know, there are even full IP proxies that uses DNS [1], but you can hack up a primitive one using shell script by basically setting up a nameserver for a domain, turning on all query logging and using a shell script that splits your file up, encodes it into valid DNS labels and requests [some encoded segment].[yourdomain]. Now your file will be sitting in pieces in your DNS query log and all you need is a simple script to re-assemble it.

Best of all is that it works even if it passes through intermediary DNS servers, such as a corporate proxy, unless it's heavily filtered (e.g. whitelisting domains) or too rate limited to be useful.
I don't know about you, but I would much rather work for a person than a machine. You can bargain with a person. And people have limited attention spans.
Yes, but most Republicans I actually know (granted, definitely not a representative sample) were aghast that Trump won their party's nomination, and didn't vote for him (thought most made it a protest vote of some kind, not voting for Clinton either).

They are "conservative" but they assumed that Trump's continuous barrage of easily-debunked lies and blatant disrespect for the intelligence of his audience would prevent his victory.

Still, I will concede your point that the "conservative" population in the USA seems to be more greatly affected by this kind of "reality rejection syndrome". I don't think Trump really has any coherent political ideology; I think he just chose to pwn the Republican party because they had the most rubes susceptible to his brand of snake oil.

(I feel like that might just be because a big segment of that population is angrier than most people, but who knows.)

The real issue is, companies should not touch, and especially not store data unless absolutely necessary, and only store it for as long as it's needed and not longer.

There is a German word for that. Datensparsamkeit.

https://martinfowler.com/bliki/Datensparsamkeit.html

Actually, and probably for the first time ever, I completely agree with Fowler:

"Datensparsamkeit isn't just about bad people stealing data, it's also about your relationship with the primary company themselves. The default attitude at the moment is that any data you generate is not just freely usable by the capturer but furthermore becomes their valuable commercial property. Privacy advocates, including me, think this assumption needs to be changed. Companies should only capture what they need and the burden of demonstrating need should fall on them. In addition, of course, they must be completely transparent about what they capture, what they store, and who they share their data with."

This, I believe, needs to be enforced by regulations, worldwide. Businesses won't do it themselves, because it's a clear case of conflicting social and monetary interests.
> with 200 miles of range, you don't need to find a charging space every day

Depending on your commute. And the weather -- cold weather essentially halves my range.

Also you need to be more careful with your charge. Because if you run out at an inconvenient time, you're stuck charging for at least 30 minutes -- if a reachable charging station is not occupied.

My BIL was recently stuck in Zürich for a few hours, waiting for a charging station to become available for his Tesla so he could drive home.

Don't get me wrong -- I'd love to have an EV. And I really enjoy my hybrid. My next car will definitely also have electric drive.

But the fact is that dinosaur juice is just far, far more convenient and practical. Certainly now, but probably even in a hypothetical future with vastly improved charging infrastructure.
Also I heard that there is a legal precedent that if the government confiscates your drugs you can attack them and demand reparations and they will have to pay.

> The compiler is part of the IDE, not some external process that needs to start from a blank state for each file

I'm pretty sure Borland used to separate out the IDE executables from the compilers and a couple of other tools tool. I don't have a copy to hand to prove this but I'm sure I used to occasionally invoke Turbo Pascal's compiler from the command line outside of the IDE (due to it being a separate .exe / .com) and I vaguely recall Turbo C++ having a similar design.

I also don't recall build times being that much faster then than they are now. But maybe that's more a symptom of myself compiling on budget hardware previously where as I can now afford better spec'ed dev machines (compared to the market average).
I was able to hang the session using unsafeCoerce to cause a segfault, so you might want to specify -XSafe in the GHCi options for good measure. I don’t think there’s a way to unset -XSafe in a session once set; trying :set -XUnsafe rightly generates an error.
I grew up there. It's relatively easy for me to understand why Hillary Clinton didn't get elected, and why there's disappointment in Obama: while we're still incredibly well-off in a global sense, the post-Bush 2009-2010 recovery was uneven at best. Automation and changing technical literacy requirements have shut a portion of America out of jobs. I get it. What's hard for me to understand is why anyone thinks Donald Trump – the guy with no experience and a giant ego who lies all the time – could possibly be an improvement.

The meth-addled and jobless need access to health care, extended unemployment insurance, affordable education, access to low-cost housing, and jobs programs. Donald Trump isn't going to deliver improvements in any of these areas. He'll actively make the situation worse, then lie about what he did. It's the only mode he's ever operated in. His next bankruptcy will be ours, and everyone will be worse off as a result.
How robust and dependable is the Raspberry Pi? I've been looking at Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) systems recently, and as far as I can tell, they're third rate hardware loaded up with fourth rate software selling at first rate premiums.

I've been considering rolling my own around a Raspberry Pi, but I'm not sure how dependable they are. Does anyone have any advice on that front?
I bought a Pi Zero last week from The Pi Hut, arrived in two days, they had loads in stock. Might be a problem with your local distributor? I'm in the UK so supply may well be better here than elsewhere.

I did get tripped up with the camera connector being a different size to normal Pis though, darn it.

You haven't heard about the hundreds of billions of dollars companies like Apple and IBM are holding overseas, or the number of companies that have invested in operations in (for example) Ireland?

> A major draw for US firms is Ireland’s low 12.5% corporation tax rate and numerous controversial tax breaks. The government has promised to phase out the latter.

> The corporate tax rate, which remains a sacrosanct part of Irish industrial policy, has been so successful in wooing US investment that the country’s neighbours across the border want it too. The Northern Ireland assembly passed legislation this week allowing for corporation tax powers to be devolved, with politicians at Stormont aiming for a similar rate.
Thanks for pointing this out. I've noticed this as well. But, you should be careful with comments like these, as someone will probably accuse you of both being "triggered", and of being a "cuck".

Computer security is a new thing in those industries; regulations have yet to catch up.

The point here was, there are always companies that are looking to make a quick buck and which will always refuse to "spend extra time and money securing it properly". Such companies have the market forces on their side - the less they give a shit, the faster and cheaper they can sell their products/services. Regulations in established industries ensure that the minimum level of giving a shit is still safe enough for people.
Their view point and reality are incompatible. For instance, Breitbart repeatedly claimed that the airport protests were "terrorist-funded" by CAIR. There is no factual evidence that the airport travel ban protests were funded by any politically-motivated group seeking to wage violence against the United States. It's a viewpoint, sure. But it's wrong.

Why would I buy the Raspberry Pi Zero instead of an OrangePi PC ($15) or an OrangePi Zero ($8.99)? With the latter, I can actually use an M.2 SSD with the HATs available for it, and I'll get 40MB/s unlike the Raspi's 4 to 5MB/s, and both OrangePis are able to run a fully libre stack with kernel 4.10 and have much more CPU grunt than this Raspi (4x Cortex A7 @ 1.2Ghz vs one ancient ARMv6 core at 1Ghz).

The built in ethernet port, full size USB port and ability to easily add POE support are just gravy on top to make it easily usable, rather than have a dozen dongles and a USB hub hanging off it needlessly.

Edit: Added kernel version, clarified POE support.

It is written from the perspective of amateur. C++ exceptions comes at no cost. RTTI comes at no cost. C printf is unsafe; one can write perfectly safe printf-like formatters in C++ (did it, works well). Why one can use metaprogramming but not STL?

I imagine that stuffing an RPi into a box in a badly ventilated area might cause some heating issues. They run hot and are not really rated to handle that long-term.

More generally, if you're looking at POS systems, the new hotness is to just use a tablet. Solves the display problem quite easily. USB barcorde scanners usually work as keyboards, so it's not hard to get set up.

If you're looking to do it with a Pi, there are small screens for the device, but I think the parts total will quickly get higher than a low-end Android tablet.
It already has.

And you forgot on your list that JS makes your SmartTV, STB, Xbox, PS, Wii, and many more platforms work. An example, Netflix for all those platforms is made with JS. You've also got react native and Cordova for mobile.

It's been stated here that Uber's board cannot fire Kalanick, they don't have the power to. Ultimately Uber is still a privately-held company so unless they're doing something illegal, justice has to come from the market.

Then again, even if they were acting illegally, they have a lot of experience with that.
I think you're really on to something here. We're more educated, in the sense that we're attaining higher levels on average (i.e. tertiary education). But this also means our knowledge is far more specialised. It almost seems like the more proficient someone is in their specialist field (mechanical engineering, for instance) the more likely they are to mistake this highly specialised proficiency for a more generalised one. It's only my anecdotal experience, but I find that these specialists are much more likely to believe all manner of crazy nonsense in areas outside their speciality.

And I suspect this is compounded by the fact that at least some people will see a highly proficient mechanical engineer/author/ex-playboy model and think 'Wow, that person is smart. There really must be something to this whole vaccine thing.'

If I'm not mistaken, your API is designed to be used synchronously. Not sure how WebSQL or IndexedDB could work towards a synchronous API.
You're mixing up cause and effect. "Ability to run without JS" is not a goal in itself. Nobody cares about users who disable JavaScript for the sake of disabling JavaScript and then complain when half the web stops working.

The reason websites should work without JS is that JS may fail to load (or worse: load incompletely or very slowly) over dodgy connections.

PWAs help by optimising repeat visits. This isn't exactly useful for something like news sites (where users typically visit individual articles at a time and may never come back for weeks/months) but can be immensely helpful for apps like Facebook where users will come back frequently.

PWAs also help by emphasising load performance. So even if the connection is slow, the app may still load quickly and reduce the time until the first meaningful paint and the time-to-interactive.

PWAs are orthogonal to making the app "work" without JS. You don't lose anything by making a regular "progressively enhanced" app a PWA. You also don't gain anything by making one that is not "progressively enhanced" a PWA.

However by using something like React to render the app you can use the same technology to render it on the server, delivering full content to the browser on the first paint. Where you take it from there is up to you and has nothing to do with PWAs or non.
I don't know about the Raspberry Pi Zero, but I've been running a reliability test-bench for power semiconductors non-stop since August '16, and the Raspberry Pi 3 hasn't failed me once.

I did purchase an industrial USB Hub though because there were too many USB peripherals drawing too much current.
Great intro to PDB, but I have to be critical of: "The second group took 9 minutes on average, and the first one 14 minutes! Those are not completely statistically significant, but that’s still a 35% speedup on an 8-line-long program."

If you want to talk about statistical significance, don't say "not completely". It either is or it isn't. If you think the p-value is important (and I'm not saying it is, but don't bother mentioning it if you don't think it is), then you can't claim a 35% speedup. If you're reporting results in the context of significance, and you decided that your results were not significant, then the 35% speedup is meaningless.

So, how is the competitive with Xunlong and FriendlyARM making the OrangePi Zero and the Nanopi Neo? It seems to have less I/O and still not have a libre stack, unlike the Allwinner H3.

Is the Raspberry Pi Foundation just coasting on branding at this point to sell products?

Edit: On another note, will the Raspberry Pi Foundation stick with this very limited SOC ad infinium? It seems like a poor choice for a single board computer, you really want I/O and low power usage, but it doesn't deliver on either.
I think you have to do a lot of squinting to see things this way. The vast majority of the funding for SpaceX has come from a government.

Many of those patterns that you list aren't actually trends resulting from received wisdom -- they're dark patterns, known to be actively hostile to the user.

> Average is different than the median.

I'd love to see some public works and upper-bracket tax increases aimed at bringing that median closer to the average. I just don't want the incompetence, nuclear saber-rattling, risk, and political instability of a Trump administration. This guy still lies about his inauguration crowd size to this day, and is now whining about Obama and "paid protestors" somehow being behind anti-Trump rallies. He's departed reality, and is wholly unqualified even compared to George W. Bush (the guy who at least anticipated and tried to head off post-9/11 anti-Islam sentiments).

Obviously, just anecdata, but I've worked for 10 years in the search area (enterprise search) and from what I've seen search users fall into two categories. 99% of people never use anything besides the search box. If they don't find what they want, they add more words. Even if you show them that what they want is just one extra click they rather try to find some magic incantation to get what they want from search box usage only. We provided advanced options, facets (only pdfs, only author whatever and so on), usually customized with something the customers deemed relevant, but people just don't use it.

The other 1% are the ultra-power users who use every feature you provide and always push for more. They even learned the query syntax for even more advanced searches than possible in the GUI. There was almost no middle ground.
