Accommodate? They chose to make something that runs in a web browser so they should make something that works in a web browser. If I choose to use one with big scroll bars, that's up to me.

I don't know what browser you're using, but if it's Windows or some GNU/Linux distro, from memory both of these allow you to customise scrollbars. What if I have accessibility requirements and want to customise how software that I run on my own computer works?

The main thing that annoys me about this is that i've been having major problems with Windows 10. I previously ran server 2012 as my daily driver, which was fine for everything i needed to do on Windows (run visual studio, play overwatch, basically).

I've installed Windows 10 LTSB (which is the true enterprise version of Windows 10, with all of the apps etc. removed [telemetry still remains and has to be manually disabled]), as i refuse to install home/pro/enterprise after having it randomly reinstall/re-enable all "apps" and other telemetry settings i explicitly disabled after updating. 10 LTSB has been great in other areas. With the Ryzen, mobo, ram, video card I now have, I have had constant crashes/freezes. People have said that updates fix this, but i'm yet to see it. This is a common issue with Windows 10, not the processor/setup. (ie. see https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5yf9ed/brand_new_ryzen...)

I took a step back, and went to Server 2016 datacenter with a GUI (or whatever the hell they're calling it these days). Despite the fact that this SERVER still has baked in telemetry and forced restarts (i mean, seriously?) It was rock solid, no crashes, no restarts, no freezes. I was unable, however, to install the latest video card drivers for the AMD RX480, as only Windows 10 was supported. Marrying the drivers up in device manager directly to whatever inf files were available in the extracted AMD folder didn't work, and although everything was fine, running a game just sucked massively (like 10fps).

Basically, it seems i'm getting the worst of both, and am completely falling into the "you HAVE to use windows 10" trap. I'd switch to Ubuntu in a heartbeat (and might still have to) but would end up doing pass-through which A. might still have the same set of issues, and B. kind of defeats the point for my usecase (Visual Studio, Overwatch). It's such a shame as the C# guys are making HUGE strides in the right direction, and then the rest of MS just seems so scummy these days.

I realize this doesn't contribute much, but this whole situation is pissing me off. It might sound petty, but MS effectively attacking people and their choices at home is going to lead me as an influencer in a professional environment to advise steering away from MS products as much as possible. I honestly think this is their plan. Drive those away from the MS server ecosystem (other than SQL server, which would be a huge cash-cow) and then discontinue the server products. The home-market, and information market, is so valuable (see Google) and "easy" in comparison - ie. how hard is it to bake in heavy telemetry when compared to almost anything related to ongoing server features/support> (idk, take data deduplication as an example....something else that they've removed from Windows 10 which is another pain in my ass). I think we're just going to see a switch in MS becoming a "Google desktop", and a cloud services provider for Linux, with MS products. This seems to fit with C# going open source/being on Linux, and SQL server running on Linux.

I love chicken. Finding a chicken I love is surprisingly hard.

...so my father lives in a village in the north-west of Scotland; the butcher there did locally sourced everything (you could buy venison that had come off the local hills; he did amazing venison burgers, made from scrap venison cut with pork). His chickens came from, I think, Black Isle? But they were fantastic. Stuff half a lemon up its backside, rub with olive oil and rosemary, roast, serve with potatoes and plain boiled carrots and peas... sadly, he retired, and the place closed.

I haven't had roast chicken for ages. Dammit, I'm hungry now.
How does this deal with non-termination? Eg.

declare x (must_use);
P;
use(x)

(I apologies for the non-Rust-conforming pseudo-code.) The type-checker won't be able to tell if P terminates or not, whence x's use can't be enforced. That's a direct consequence of Rice's theorem (which in turn follows directly form the non-computability of the halting predicate).

I could care less for a PDF - but epub is a pretty useful format for actually reading a book. And a Kindle book is also rather nice (mostly due to kindle syncing location in the books across devices etc - I would prefer to buy ebooks without the DRM, as there's the worry one will lose access for various technical or business reasons).

And I'd like an offline copy - I do sometimes read in places without Internet access.

Without any of these - I'd be hard-pressed to buy - even if the content is excellent.
> it's that we want to, and meat is delicious.

Matter of taste? I don't like it much, never did and I grew up in a family were we ate tons of meat and vegetarian was a dirty word. I like 'a bite' of very good beef, but I could never eat a whole steak; just bores the hell out of me and the taste annoys me after a few bites. Chicken I just don't see the point. Next to a programmer I am a cook (own a restaurant) and I find taste very important; always have. So I think 'meat is delicious' is an opinion of yourself (and often people who never tried much else; people who cook 'without meat' (for whatever reason) often cook very bland; then I can understand it; those meals give 'vegetarian' cooking a very bad name and meat 'automatically' would make those better tasting for a lot of people. I wouldn't eat a barely heated up mashed pumpkin without seasoning either); I prefer other things and sure, if there is a bit of meat in something then it can be nice under the right circumstances.

The problem here is (at least) twofold:

1) this is almost certainly a partially arbitrary limitation, since Kaby Lake is architecturally identical to Skylake, yet one is supposedly supported and the other not, and

2) AMD Ryzen hardware has already been sold with the explicit promise by the vendor that it will have Windows 7 support; Microsoft is now breaking that promise.

Also, you may be misinformed regarding how Microsoft's support lifecycles work. MAINSTREAM support has ended for Windows 7 -- which means no new features -- but it still receives security patches until 2020. So does Windows 8 and 8.1. In fact, even Windows Vista still receives security patches until April 11th.

It seems like what's happening here is that they pushed out a patch that maliciously UN-supports certain hardware. I was running Windows 7 on Kaby Lake fine yesterday and receiving security updates, and now they're telling me I can't. Why? All the chipset drivers are third party and have nothing to do with Windows Update.

> They are "protected", yes, but their mere presence encourages people to use them. There's no reason to use asprintf, but glibc makes it available so some software uses it. That software is now non-portable.

I think asprintf is useful - it replaces an ugly "malloc-realloc-snprintf-loop"...

On exposing non-portable functions/features:

- OpenBSD does it (pledge)

- Freebsd/NetBSD do it (kqueue)

- ... I'm certain other systems do too

I think _exposing_ non-portable features is ok, as long as you can't use them _accidentally_. Now, _if_ glibc fulfills that, the blame should fall on the (lazy) developer. If on the other hand glibc makes accidental use possible, then that is... bad for portability.

> Distro is synonymous with OS at this point.

Possibly to the layman but the term "distro" (short for "distribution") deliberately exists to differentiate between different OS's and different distributions of the same OS but with a different software stack and default configurations.

While you do sometimes get differences between the Linuxes in terms of init daemons and slightly patched kernels etc, they are all generally GNU/Linux - ie generally share the same common Linux OS fundamentals (eg GNU coreutils). There will be exceptions to this rule (isn't there always?!) but we're talking about the common desktop / server platforms people automatically talk about when discussing "Linux".

However many of the BSDs are developed in insolation. While they may have a shared heritage, the kernels have matured into something quite different from one another. Often the core utilities and init daemons et al can vary noticeably as well.

So in essence, FreeBSD and Dragonfly are different but similar OSs, whereas Linux distributions are the same OS but differently configured. This is why we make the distinction between "distro" and "OS".

I didn't say it bricked the PC -- but they literally did brick shit that gets plugged in to the PC. It's a binary blob that comes with windows update and it breaks your hardware, intentionally.

Surely it is if $2.13/hour leaves enough left over to hire a lawyer, or the employee is confident that the payout will be greater than a decade of lost opportunities as "someone who sues their employer".
Now that I think about it, as a smoker I've sort of naturally fell into some 'pomodoro-like' scheme with my own work, in that I generally work for 50-60~ minutes and then take a 5-10 minute fag break.

On a somewhat related note, I've noticed that I only really smoke (tobacco) at work, and rarely at home. I'll have 6-8 throughout my 10 hour workday and maybe 1 or 2 after I get home... I guess my job really is killing me haha.
It's only "police" vs the people when you include officers who break the law, and other officers who defend them. What we need is not a "war" that people can "win", but rather, a shift of mindset of the departments themselves -- they need to be on board with everything being above board. That is where the battle is.
As coming from a country where debit cards are widespread (France), and living in one where they barely existed until recently (Japan), and having had my (japanese) debit card fraudulently used (still a mystery how ; not stolen, barely even used at all ; last use 8 months prior), I now know that credit cards are better in that case: if you notice the fraudulent use early enough, it's not going to hit your account, while I'm now stuck waiting for a reimbursment that will hopefully happen 3 months after reporting the event.

Just for that, I now prefer a CC, not using the "Credit" part of it. Edit: well, technically, I'm using it, but only as a buffer.

But it's always awkward to be asked "single payment?" for ridiculous amounts like $20. Huh, yeah, why? are people really paying such amounts in multiple installments?

>I think asprintf is useful - it replaces an ugly "malloc-realloc-snprintf-loop"...

Well, implement it yourself then. It's really not hard to live without, though. I don't know about this loop you're talking about but I just do this:

int len = snprintf(NULL, 0, "fmt", ...);
char *foo = malloc(len + 1);
snprintf(foo, len, "fmt", ...);

Easy to wrap that up in your own asprintf function if you would find that useful. And in practice writing a lot of these functions is going to happen anyway when someone ports your non-portable code to another system.

are you certain the meat was grown 100% animal free (outside of the stem cell line)? As far as I know, higher organism stem cell culture is still not possible without some amount of animal product in the growth medium. For Memphis Meat's burgers last year, for example, fetal bovine serum was used. As far as I looked, they don't make any outward claim of actually being animal-product free (they use cagey terms like "clean", which doesn't have a legal definition, or "from self-reproducing cells"). Fully animal-free meat is a laudable goal, but I wonder if a company that is being evasive about what their current product line is under the pressure of "demoing something, just anything" has the chops to solve the problem of removing all the animal derived products from the growth serum (this is NOT a trivial problem, and some very smart people are working on it because of its arguably less frivolous application towards safe in vitro organ growth for transplantation).

Moreover, an important question is how many replication cycles the animal stem cells use - unless they're hybridized with tumor cells, they will eventually run into the hayflick limit, at which point you'll have kill another animal to obtain more stem cells.

I'm amazed at the way people are looking at this. I think we're very jaded when we lose our capacity to see just how remarkable homelessness is. Being homeless and living homeless is something amazing. Just because it is common, doesn't make it any less so. Just because it is common doesn't mean that we understand it.

The only thing that makes this more or less interesting than some tale of independence and "acceptable" survivalism is the contempt of the beholder.

One of my absolute favourite books as a child was The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by WH Davies. Perhaps it has coloured my vision, but I think we owe at least a grudging respect to people who can survive in the modern world (by any reasonable means) as such outcasts.

In a ponzi scheme, nothing is created. Uber has created a service used by millions and which tens of thousands of people make an income from.

Tesla has created products that hundreds of thousands of people use, millions want, and hundreds of millions admire. Tens of thousands of people work in their factories. To many of us, their products hold a promise of a better future. SpaceX is reopening a chapter of human exploration that nation states had closed. Literally the most powerful organisation in human history, the United States, had all but given up on it. In my mind, landing a rocket is one of the most astonishing technological feats by humanity in decades. And it was done by a startup.

Now, I don't know what you spend your days doing, but I cannot compete with Musk. And I am just talking about his achievements until now, not the potential future ones.

I get that from an investor point of view, Tesla might have created little of value if it bankrupts soon. Eventually, though, all companies bankrupt or close in other ways, and so will Tesla. But the EV revolution that Tesla started will not stop. The cars are still there, the ideas have been proven. Is the comparison with ponzi schemes really a good one?
It helps if you open uMatrix every time, see what third-party CDNs are used, give them necessary permissions but not more (only images if they don't need a script, no cookies unless it's necessary, etc), and put them in the whitelist.

Just look at the labour market. Even when companies don't switch languages they constantly have employee turnover.

The only problem is that the labour market is a lagging indicator. Perhaps the best approach is to combine statistics about active switchers (like the OP) with labour market statistics.
It depends - e.g. it could count as fair use e.g. within a museum exhibit or for preservation on your own hardware; but it wouldn't count as fair use for distributing it to others or making available to public.
There seem to be really extreme regional differences with this. Wherever I am, when I take an Uber I usually tip a small amount ($1-$2) and as small talk I ask the driver what ratio of people leave a tip. Here in Western Mass I've gotten answers in the 30-50% area, if I'm right. New Hampshire seems to be similar. But in New York, they tell me it's maybe 1 out of 10.

So glad to see him articulate what I've always felt about x-exprs.

It often gets overlooked because we all understandably want to hype something in a language that's really cool, original, abstract or otherwise reflects well on us.

Even if working on XML and HTML files is boring and a technically solved problem in most languages, it feels better in Racket to me, and the essay did explain why it feels better.
