It's more telling than you might realize that you took their complaint to mean "I'm upset I'm around so many white people" and not "I'm upset a part of the population isn't included in my area / culture". It certainly makes the rest of your comments less surprising.
Thinking about "the stack", runtimes , development processes and the root-causes involved here i think, the best thing that could happen to "the industry" is some event preventing the silicon production to deliver new cpu-s/ram/gpu-s/harddrives for some 5+ years or so.

How would you validate that the EFF's feed is actually from the EFF? Assuming we're using existing SSL infrastructure, the browser would first need to trust the CA used by the EFF, which means we need an initial set of trusted CAs.

I've found this so often, I have a dual Xeon and 16GB of RAM and a calculator of all things taking more than a second is unacceptable.

I got a popup inside the calculator asking for feedback about it once with an inbuilt form and submission. I can only assume it has toooooons of hidden away cruft that does everything but assist in calculating things.
Interesting point. I spot checked CAs for some of the most popular USA government websites.

irs.gov (Internal Revenue Service): Entrust CA

va.gov (Veterans Affairs) : Symantec CA

So if Symantec is the CA for a critical mass of government websites that won't abandon them, Google Chrome could lose this battle.

Without looking at traffic data (e.g Alexa), my intuition says the vast majority of web traffic is not government websites. If Veterans Affairs forces user to switch browsers, I'm guessing people would still use their Chrome browser for all the other websites because that's where all their bookmarks live.

As for non-government websites, I notice that Netflix.com currently has a Symantec Class 3 CA. I'm guessing Netflix would rather switch to another CA.

I think I can help with that.

The article nicely explains the data transformation so that it becomes linearly separable. But the trick to the kernel trick is no to transform the data at all.

What you do is use a learning algorithm that doesn't need individual input vectors, but instead only needs their dot products. You then imagine a magical high-dimensional space where your data is (you suppose) linearly separable. The trick is that you never actually transform your data to that magical space — you don't need the input vectors, remember? You only need their dot products. So you define a function that given two vectors in your normal input space returns a scalar. Assuming your function behaves in a sane way (go read about the required properties if you need to), you can think of this function as a dot product. In some kind of magical space — you don't actually care much. You will never transform your data, it might not even be possible to: the most common gaussian kernel is defined over an infinite-dimensional space. But hey, who cares? You take your SVM, give it your kernel function and input data, and off it goes, working as usual, except your dot products are no longer computed in your input space, but in your magical infinite-dimensional space.

It's both really clever and really simple.

On the plus side: It's "built to print", we've already done all of the R&D work so it's just a matter of remanufacturing all of the hardware. The software's already tested and ready to go (an will get further testing when the satellite is rebuilt).

On the minus side: Long lead times, and payloads/instruments where the right things happened at the right time to make them possible. A failed launch on some projects could mean a 3-5 year delay - and then the whole point of the mission could be moot (technology moves fast).

And that's where you find yourself in the gray area: Ok, let's take our lessons learned and improve it!

A huge missing part of this discussion is Tech is not that concentrated in 'The Bay Area' people are. More people live in 'The Bay Area' than Maine, Montana, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming combined.

The Bay Area plus NYC metro area are 8.5% of the total US population so yes they are a significantly larger chunk of GDP and wealth. But, they are large enough that the differences are smaller than you might think.

"It takes an experienced programmer, with a reasonably accurate mental model of the problem and the correct solution, to know how fast the operation should have been performed, and hence if the program is running slower than it should be."

I love this sort of approach to performance. If you know the hardware, the software, and the application, you can predict how fast it should go. That's surprisingly rare, in my experience, sadly. About the time I wrote lmbench I was sitting in a lot of meetings at Sun where people were saying "we should do this" and I could do a mental estimate of how fast it would go (I memorized most of the stuff that lmbench measured so I know how many packets/sec we could do, how many iops, how much memory bandwidth we had, etc). You'd be amazed at the number of times "architects" were proposing to build something that couldn't possibly work.

It's pretty systems-y and not that common in programmers, what with today's frameworks and all. But there is still some value in being able to predict how fast something should run. I love it when I see people doing that with the needed knowledge to be accurate, very fun to watch.
Your comment is, in a nutshell, what's wrong with dialogue today.
Same for Go and typescript/React, there's no better IDE than VS Code.
Yes, yes, of course we have limited experience. However, there are more than a few things that every functional adult is expected to be aware of. The scale of global poverty is certainly among them. For software developers, it's not unreasonable to additionally have some passing familiarity with the going wages for similar work in other countries.

For the people lucky enough to be living in the world's number one economy, in an expensive city, in a well-funded startup or an established tech company, 100k is "not a lot" and spending $1500 on a chair can seem something other than absurd.

The other commenter that you replied to above pointed out very clearly that this applies only to some parts of one particular country, and it is perhaps not very polite to act like this is completely unknown to you.

You responded to this from your bubble, and then defended yourself against me by saying that we are all in a bubble. Well, no kidding, but some of us at least try to be aware of it!

Now are you starting to get even the slightest idea of what I'm trying to say?
You only think that there is an objective reality, and others may think differently. Thus, even if there is an objective reality, facts are nonetheless subjective because the actual basis for believing in facts is subjective.

If you like maths, Tarski's undefinability theorem suggests that anything which is a fact about our objective reality cannot be shown to be a fact from within reality.

Had a Lemur 14" about 5 years ago. Out of the box - Ubuntu support was very good but the battery life was poor (sort of expected at the time), build quality okay but not comparable to the 2012 Macbook Pro's, and the speakers were notably quiet.

Otherwise it's still running (plugged in) with an older relative who uses it to check email and do other simple web tasks.

If they've gotten the build quality right this time I'll give it a shot. I'm currently using a Dell XPS 13 (2015) running Elementary OS (used to be Arch).

> Powerful* text editors built on the web stack cannot rely on the OS text caret and have to provide their own.

Is there any reason that Electron couldn't provide an API that would expose the system caret in an OS-agnostic manner? Windows, for example, has an API[0] that can arbitrarily show the caret at a given point in the window. Sounds like something that would be useful to many apps and not get in the way for those that don't need it.

This is so irritating and happens to me often, I just don't have the time to follow up with it like the parent did. This coupled with the workplace politics and mistreatment of women as well as the lack of select or black car service at my client site has led me to just rent a car from Hertz for the week. It's been enjoyable to be honest, the only thing is I can't work while I'm in the car, which isn't really an issue for small trips. It's also a little harder to make calls, but I'll live with it. Maybe I'll give lyft ago but it seems like the same issues are there too.
> Well, of course, no number that represents a physical quantity can go up forever..

Money isn't a physical quantity, though it can be represented by physical tokens; and, yes, a measure of a physical quantity can go up forever if the physical quantity is continuously (rather than quantum) valued. It may even be able to go up without bound whether it is quantized or not (which is different than going up forever), depending on the exact measure used.

In any case, nominal rents absolutely can go up both forever and without bound, and real (inflation-adjusted) rents probably can, too.

And rent in any particular city can go up forever and without boubd much more easily than overall rents.

Well ok, brand advertising is one kind of ad, which is probably less useful for people. I still think there's a marginal benefit though, to having highly recognizable brands around.

I don't really like ads either, all I'm saying is that it's simplistic to say ads have zero value to people. If that were true there would be no reason to advertise anyway.

Well, I certainly hope you are right and I'm wrong. Still, the devil will be in the details and even with expired patents multi-junction cells are simply more expensive to produce. Keep in mind they only have to be ~24% more expensive to make to wipe out any efficiency gains and that's not a whole lot of margin. If this succeeds you might see a fraction of that passed on to the consumer and the cost of the bare panels long ago ceased to be the dominant factor in a regular (domestic) installation.

For large areas it might work out to be beneficiary earlier.

Edit: You can't just replace White with Chinese: unless Chinese people enslaved and murdered a race of people for hundreds of years, then segregated them in tiny ghettos while charging higher rents than other 'Chinese' had to pay, to finally - allow - them to leave the ghetto only to "redline" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining) any community that crossed the color line, outlaw discrimination - after - poverty had set in... (not to mention Chinese-flight, I mean, white-flight from communities that reached a tipping point of racial integration.)

The issues of race in American are legacy issues that won't just dissolve in time. And full dissolution cannot take place if the underlying issues of poverty are not corrected (read: aggressively attacked). This is but a small step in that direction.

Full disclosure: I'm not (totally) white.
Anecdotal and personal opinion, but I believe that it has. I've been a LastPass user since February 2014. I used to pay for the annual subscription because it was required to use their phone apps, but now that it isn't I find no benefit to the paid subscription, especially given how poorly some thing seem to be working.

The user experience with extensions for different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) is inconsistent. Menus look and behave differently. Some options are present (and turned on by default) in one browser's extension and absent in another. For example, Firefox's extension opens the vault every time you log in unless you uncheck a box, so if you're at a password field ready to login, LastPass decides to just get in your way.

But by far the most infuriating part for me has been the iOS app. For the past few months this is what I have to go through to use it:

1.) Open app

2.) Enter password

3.) Scan fingerprint

4.) Start looking for what I want to find

5.) App logs me out after about 30 seconds for no perceivable reason

6.) Enter password

7.) Scan fingerprint

8.) I'm now logged in, but the vault is completely empty

9.) Force close the app

10.) Open the app

11.) Enter password

12.) Scan fingerprint

13.) Finally get what I want

I really do want to switch to something else, preferably self hosted, but I haven't been able to set aside the time to do the research and export/import what I have in LastPass currently.
Heh you should share that contexption!
We might not be the plunderers, we might just be their tools.
I fear a WebAssembly rise of Swift as the new Javascript running in iOS, WebAssembly and server environments. I tend to agree that ES6/7 is a more elegant option and more in the spirit of OSS these days, but the backing of Apple on Swift could lead our stacks that way (though not with anywhere near the permanence that JS has had). Pure conjecture, of course. Either way, I couldn't see webAssembly as a replacement for just page logic though. It would be replacing the whole front-end stack...

It's better than it used to be. We have 4 major browser vendors now, Apple (Safari and iOS), Microsoft, Google (Chrome and Android), and Mozilla, all of which have plenty of market share and none of which have most of it.

There was a long period of many years when IE was king and anything else was irrelevant. There was also, even earlier than that, a period where Mosaic/Netscape/Mozilla and its kin were dominant.

This is the best it's been in a long time in terms of no single browser maker controlling the market.

I find two camps:
1. those who need to produce backwards-compatible code, avoiding or not thinking about new features
2. those who can/want to use new features

Camp 1 has the problem of continuously importing kitchen sinks instead of polyfills, which would allow getting into camp 2.

Camp 2 is essentially a luxury of time, thus rare. It already requires mental commitment, which may be scarce after a day of battling bugs for IE.
