> This is the idea of the open Web. CDMs are literally the opposite idea.

Yes, both a CDM and passworded accounts limit access to content. The difference is that CDM providers are only letting certain Web browsers view the content. Passworded accounts have no such limitation.

The open Web is dependent on any conceivable browser being interoperable with ALL Web content. Any barriers to interoperability are only technical. Third-parties, like a CDM provider, cannot setup arbitrary barriers. Otherwise, it is no longer "open". THIS is the definition of 'open Web'; it has nothing to do with authorization as in subscription only websites.

I would love to try this, but having the monthly subscription as the only option is off-putting. You should at least offer an option to 'buy' a trial pack.

Awesome - really happy to hear that! I use it every morning at home and it's soooo easy.
none of the things you just mentioned are easy or cheap, so i feel like minimizing the "what they're doing" part is a bit strange, or maybe that's just how i read your text. most businesses when analyzed on paper like this are very simple, or are re-packaging existing ideas. that's not something i would put against a business idea.

having said that, the primary reason i pound cold brew instead of making 2 or 3 aeropresses every morning is because i don't like boiling water, and grinding, and waiting, and cleaning up. some people find it all very mindful and relaxing and zen and whatever, but for me it's just a pain in the ass, so for me personally $2.50 for something i could just pay $1 (on average) in a big concentrated cold brew growler is perhaps a weird price point.
Announcing Free Orgs at npm
Regarding pledge: I agree it's a good pragmatic design, but I wouldn't see it as an example of BSD vs. Linux broadly. To my mind it's a very specifically OpenBSD style design, a kind of ruthless reduction to a dozen or so hardcoded cases that cover 90% of the benefit, sane defaults, opposition to configurability if it can at all be avoided, and screw coming up with a clean "general" solution. Other BSDs have gone in different directions. FreeBSD's solution here is capsicum, which predates pledge and is more powerful in principle, but is more difficult to use, so not that many programs in FreeBSD actually use it.

The big problem vim has in this particular test case is the XML. Vim syntax highlighting of XML is significantly slower than other syntaxes. I disable it for XML in my vimrc.

A large C or json file would be a good test case to add.

(Also, as someone else mentioned, the 3GB file also had rather long lines, some of these editors that failed on that file can handle 3GB files with ~100 character lines.)
I updated my post to add a few things and reword a phrase that was kind of rude and patronizing.

I guess I'd like to hear specifically what a private school that is using fixed tuition dollars could do differently. How could they pay teachers that much more? If parents take their kids out and the school goes out of business, how does that improve the outcomes for the kids who didn't leave the school who's education has been disrupted?

EDIT: I should note that here in Fargo, no private school is paying teachers near what they are public schools. I went to look for assessment reports in the school district profiles, but the private school system is not listed.

Have you tried this?:

1. Get a box (not too large - just small enough to fit thru the door of the post offices package box - or better, use one of the USPS free shipping boxes)

2. Collect the junk mail, and put it in the box, sans any identifying information (this is important!)

3. As you collect the junk mail, keep back one of the pre-paid envelopes sent with some junk mail.

4. When the box is full, tape it up, and tape or glue the pre-paid envelope to the front. Alternatively, put the address of the postmaster general on the front. Leave the return address blank!

5. Take it to a random post office, and mail it. Use the outside boxes, and make sure not to be caught on any cameras (you may need to do a bit of looking around first)

6. Repeat as needed, paying attention to the previous step and not using the same post office each time.

This is probably not completely legal - but if you do mail it to the postmaster general instead of using a pre-paid envelope, I think you can do so without needing to pay for a stamp or anything (can't recall).

It might be very satisfying to do it once or twice, though.

WorkingCopy – a powerful Git client for iOS
Well, there are other reasons; you want to write code that operates on the data, and neither the code nor the data fits on a single machine - you have to target an abstraction which spans machines. Block storage is too low-level an abstraction.

That isn't to say that using high performance block storage isn't still a win even when the redundancy is multiplied at a higher level. The higher level redundancy is also about colocating more data with the code - i.e. it's not just redundant for integrity, but to increase the probability it's close to the code.
> Each of these consumes, on an annual basis, in the region of 400m tonnes of other animals.

The amount of food consumed by spiders is certainly impressive, but limiting the comparison to the tonnage of animals consumed must just be for clickbait.

While a cursory search failed to find total food consumption, this NPR article [0] uses USDA data to outline average American food consumption. While these numbers are obviously inflated compared to average human food consumption worldwide, the percentage breakdown can shine some more light on the issue.

* Dairy - 630 lbs (32.7%)

* Meat - 185 lbs (9.6%)

* Grain - 197 lbs (10.2%)

* Fruit - 273 lbs (14.2%)

* Vegetables - 415 lbs (21.5%)

* Sugars - 141 lbs (7.3%)

* Fats - 85 lbs (4.4%)

(There was a missing 70 lbs from their provided total of 1996 lbs, so I just summed the included values)

Even if "of other animals" included dairy products, that is only 42.3% of food consumption. Pretending we could accurately extrapolate those numbers worldwide, that would lead to a real total food consumption of ~950 million tonnes. If "tonnes of other animals" is exclusively meat, that would mean total human food consumption is more in the ballpark of ~4.2 billion tonnes.

Hahaa! Really happy to hear that :) Thanks for the feedback re: one-off.
The major problem with lab-grown burgers is that cell culture is quite difficult and expensive to do at even small scale. There are obviously efforts to radically decrease those costs, but some things are going to be quite hard to do cheaply and at large scale.

For example, on their own, cells have zero defense against invading bacteria/fungus. And yet they're being grown in high-nutrient media where any bacteria would thrive and possibly outcompete the growing meat cells. So you probably need a very sterile environment, which isn't so easy to do at very large scale.

In contrast, these burgers are made using materials we know how to handle safely and can produce at large scale. These should be quite a bit easier to get to market. As for taste, I think both have challenges, but can't speak as much to that because I haven't had either.

That would severely complicate implementations, not to mention encourage bad programming practices, all for dubious convenience.

Somewhat surprisingly, human readable dates are an absolute mess of historical convention and complicated geophysics. To write a human readable date, at the most basic level, requires us to account for both calendar for and time zone.

But even that isn't enough. To get these display dates to match up with everything else in the world we also have to worry about a whole smorgasboard of national holidays, differing leap year conventions, leap seconds, historical mishaps, typographic conventions, and host of even more obscure minutia.

All this complexity obscures from the programmer that human readable dates, for the above reasons, are almost useless at reliably determining time sequences.

Instead, we should think of dates as UI details on the same level as a color scheme. Usually what we want is better thought of as a point in a time sequence which is best represented as ITA timestamps, e.g. Unix Time.
The leadership of Python, in the form of Guido, is certainly merit- and engagement-based. Nothing needs to be 'more aggressive' in Python development. It's perfectly fine for the standard, canonical version of Python to be the version that:

* Everyone is most familiar with
* Already is packaged in all operating systems
* Is the most stable
* Is compatible with all C extensions

Great question, CRDT is the answer, as OT requires centralized servers and gun is decentralized/federated/P2P.

Here is a really good (but long) overview of what is going on, including the tradeoffs of where gun does not ideally fit: http://gun.js.org/distributed/matters.html

A quick glance of the CAP Theorem tradeoffs: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/CAP-Theorem

Some lower level implementation details of the CRDT: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/Conflict-Resolution-with-G...

It is a hybrid vector/timestamp/lexical CRDT, which means it is very naive but has deterministic guarantees. It is a "stupid" enough base CRDT that you can actually build other CRDTs on top of it by combining it with other data structures, to build DAGs (directed acyclic graphs, like git), Merkle trees, blockchains, linked lists, etc. which is where most of your "business logic" value/use-case is going to come from.

Which means, it is powerful enough you can build OT-like alternatives on top, here is a demo of collaborative text editing: https://youtu.be/rci89p0o2wQ (note this is an old demo, I'm able to delete text now, and do other things)

Anything else I can answer? Great question.

I struggle to consider that Microsoft is really that inept as to only be able to design it that well. I mean, do they do any testing at all? Across the browsers and platforms accessing their sites?

I've used that technique in products I built. Not speaking for MS but in my case the UUID was either written into some server log (to hopefully be used to diagnose the problem if reported), or matched diagnostic statements in our source code (so the problem could be diagnosed in conjunction with the code). Using a unique identifier helps prevent the kind of confusion caused when 3 different developers all decide that "this can't happen" is a good diagnostic message to display to the user.

Fwiw the identifier you posted isn't a UUID but the same justification applies.

Try getting them to deliver to a person using some other location than an address, such as "wherever he happens to be". It can't be their purpose to do something they're not able to do.

That combined with pre-installed solutions like iTunes and Microsoft Movies & TV give users some pretty easy options to compete with their browser.
I'm actually a daily instant coffee drinker so I'll definitely check this out. Currently I use the Korean instant coffee packets (includes powdered cream and sugar).

Costco carries San Francisco Bay coffee, which replaces the bottom 3/4 of the plastic K-cup with some kind of cloth filter. They claim it's less waste.
Not to nitpick, because I agree with your point, but that's the beauty of _economics_, not capitalism. Non-capitalistic economies (e.g. socialism) also optimize for high-yield products that require minimal labor, the difference being who owns the means of production (i.e. factories): the workers, the consumers, private shareholders, the state, etc.

Also virtually every tech demo they did over the years. One might argue that makes sense, but it really doesn't. Change user agent and it works (it's standards after all, and half the browsers on market are Chromium based anyway).
Open-source DRM makes no sense, in that case anyone could just patch the DRM module to save to disk unencrypted while viewing.

Browser makers have plenty leverage. A Firefox user watching Netflix will, and this is a tautology, be worse off if they cannot continue doing so. That may lead to people switching to other browsers more often than dropping Netflix subscriptions, but the costs for Netflix wouldn't be 0, and may even be substantial considering the population of people using Firefox is self-selected to those placing a high value on openness.

If Chrome were to ship without DRM, Netflix would cave faster than you can say "thepiratebay". See what happened to flash when it wasn't supported on the iPhone. There are millions of archived predictions of Apple's demised in forums such as this, but even though they had 20% of the market at peak, they easily killed flash.

Unfortunately, Google has an interest in DRM for its own sake. This may serve as a welcome reminder that the awesome job they have done with Chrome is a result of an alignment of interest between them and the web community: they need the open web to compete against iOS and the closed Facebook ecosystem. That situation may not last forever.
