> Before getting all spun up, I'd dig a little deeper on the issue than what the WaPo does in this piece

You mean you thought you would stick to classic conservative viewpoints about overreach, toss in a bit of media bashing for good measure.
Up until 2016-08-23, Service Workers were marked in MDN as experimental [1], despite the concentrated push by various parties to get people to stop using stuff like AppCache and use Service Workers instead.

That being said, at least Dialog is part of both the WHATWG HTML5 "Living Standard" (a fancy name for snapshot), and the W3C HTML 5.1 Recommendation, making it approved and finalized by both the practical body of rapidly-evolving browser makers and the political body that historically set web standards. In contrast, Service Workers are still a draft, despite having been pushed for years, and its predecessor technologies having largely been deprecated.

In other words, this is quite normal in the world of the Web Platform today, for better and for worse.

Easy to romanticise it and forget exactly how the empire came to be - war, theft, violence, slavery, murder. Maybe it's breaking up because the tactics that put it together are no-longer acceptable.

Other way around. Bretagne in France was named after (celtic) britonic settlers from Great Britain who fled the invading (germanic) anglo-saxons. The "Great" denotes that the Island is larger than Ireland (which is "little" Britain).

Wikipedia:
> The Greco-Egyptian scientist Ptolemy referred to the larger island as great Britain (μεγάλης Βρεττανίας - megális Brettanias) and to Ireland as little Britain (μικρής Βρεττανίας - mikris Brettanias)
This bill rolls back the FCC rules. The problem is that it doesn't necessarily restore the FTC rules that had been in place for ISPs.

Yep, this is right on the money. Very few people actually want to work more than 40. Most who I know would kill to work less, even if paid proportionally less.

That said, I always try to get a sense of expectations in interviews. I don't care if it makes me look like a clock watcher (I'm not). I ask about how the hiring manager works and if they expect their employees to adopt a similar schedule. Or I ask about what the work life balance is like. That kind of thing.

I work to live, not the other way around. I don't want to be just another person who works their ass off until 65 or 70 and then finally gets to retire, only to be dead within a year or two.
The British empire ended slavey in my country.
That doesn't necessarily make the father biased/racist; but I think you're right about the economic incentives at play. Many of the problems I've encountered with Chinese manufacturing can be traced back to stateside managers/purchasers wanting to relentlessly drive the price down, yet still exert the same kind of QC effort (or less) than they did with their former in-house manufacturing. They (mgmt) failed to recognize a lot of informal QC that might otherwise be lumped in with "work-ethic." They also probably laid off the experienced QC and put a jr level engineer/recent grad "in charge", but with little/no authority to do anything. Meanwhile on the Chinese side, the workers work hard, usually with every effort focused on speed. I remember one specific case where an assembler kept ruining chassis because they wouldn't replace worn screwdrivers for the assemblers. They caused lots of rework simply because the Chinese shop manager was too tight to accept that screwdrivers are consumables.

tl;dr Don't rush to blame the workers, they're usually just doing what they've been told to do.
Liberalism is based on the incorrect assumption that man has agency.
100% agreeing.

In 2017, not being able to have native dialog, a datepicker or a solid i18l for content is just sad.
Unfortunately, you're only opining, and falling for the oldest data error in the media book, in that you think they're biased against your side. Equl numbers of moderates and left-leaning people think that the media are biased to the Right, from their coporate advertising masters. You'll have therefore to bring some data to the table to persuade anyone here.
It baffles me that this notion of Lisp as an interpreted language still persists. Common Lisp is a compiled language for all non toy implementations, and in general Lisps have had compilers for decades.
Weird; I had the opposite reaction. The data in the charts seemed soothing to me. I thought manufacturing had been crushed by double digit percentages, even today. It's rebounding significantly and while the author asserts it is a plateau, I think it's far too soon to make that call.

I don't disagree with the author's main points about manufacturing and the economy in general; I just don't see the dire situation in the data.
Would you mind sharing some links? And maybe explaining your thoughts further? Are you saying that you can't have a consciousness without a physical body?
>Although Washington Post isn't quite Brietbart yet they appear to be headed rapidly in that direction from my perspective

So you've never actually been to Breitbart then? I checked it regularly before the 2016 elections and, in those days, it certainly earned its nickname "stormfront lite." They've toned it down since the additional scrutiny and subsequent mainstreaming of the Trump era, but WaPo has never been and will never even come close to Breitbart. Also Breitbart is an overt propaganda outlet. WaPo may seem biased, but it certainly does not engage propaganda on the same level as Breitbart.
> Last time I posted something like this it turned into a bit of a flame war

Gee I wonder why.
Hi LyndsySimon, I read your post in another topic where you said that you were loosing weight by eating a ketonic diet. Got curious, followed your profile and arrived here, just to tell you two things. One that I can see that you're thinking different, and I congratulate you for this, as it's not easy to do so. Second, that regarding religions you can perhaps take a step ahead, too. God is universal. Religions are man made and serve to divide. You may be interested in a six book volume set that really enlightened me: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Teaching-Masters-East-Volume/dp/.... Please read the comments. ;-)
The whole discussion we have is silly. Robots and ai will kill jobs. Sorry but the concept of everyone becoming a programmer or roboticist is a fucking pipe dream. Some people are simply not cut out for it. Even if everyone was perfectly educated, there is no demand for that many people in those kinds of positions and there never will be. Weve already gotton a taste of automation from people doing any work at all for cheaper overseas. The result has been for people to get psychology degrees and other easy degrees and go on to get bullshit jobs in the swelling, fractured and broken systems of beurocracy that are now so common in the west. Why do schools need such huge adminiatrations? They dont. They got huge because people need work and not everyone can be a stem major. So the answer is obvious in my eyes. Sooner or later we will have universal basic income. It depends on how long the overburdened sources of business and psychology degree jobs can hold out before collapsing i suppose.
On the other hand, the narrative of a successful black entrepreneur who made it against odds is also the narrative favored by conservatives: "You can overcome discrimination if you work hard. Instead of complaining, just show what you're capable of! If these guys made it you could, too."

It all depends on how you view the story.
See, I don't buy the market based arguments. This is not something we want anyone doing, regardless of ISP. So why allow it to happen at all?
> I suggest you read the Android Security 2016 Year in Review

Oh I have, and I am well aware of the links I chose and their accuracy, regardless of you having a different "primary goal" in mind.

Thank you though, but I've got it from here.
How are you going to feel if the third time isn't the charm, and you're laying on your death bed thinking about all that work you were doing rather than spending time with your family. Work won't miss you, but your kids will.
What an absolutely absurd opinion. I really don't think you appreciate the manifestation of schizophrenia. Would you feel the same about someone suffering from Tourette's for swearing in front of a child?

The guy believes lots of crazy things: men in suits are after him, aliens put things in his body, that he has conversations with god about music, etc. He translates random number generators into ASCII attempting to divine messages from god. He writes long-winded nonsensical rants jumping from detailed technical dissertations to rambling about old war movies. Schizophrenia literally means "split mind" -- ideas, concepts, hallucinations attack his brain and he has no basis for dispelling which are grounded in reality and which are not. It's the biological equivalent of radio interference or a loose wire.

A large chunk of the things he writes are unintelligible. Yes, people focus on his work, because it's pretty amazing that somebody suffering so profoundly from an illness can do such interesting (and esoteric) work. The fact that a subset of his schizophrenic attacks include racist language is something I feel sad, not angry about.
You're welcome. C++ will continue to be strong in finance for low latency high vol stuff like HFT. Also for quant numerical stuff. If you've got a maths or physics degree that's the way to go. New lang? Wish I had time to learn Rust...
Oh cool! This experiment is very fun, not just from the results side. I was able to get a tour with the photonic side of this set-up (not the atomic side, as this paper elucidates). The photons are made entangled, then split and sent into some fiber-optic cables that run about in the tracts in the hallways. The rooms used to measure the entanglements are sufficiently far apart, but due to budgets, are at right angles from the source. We only went to one of the rooms, but the measurement devices are housed in marijuana grow pods you can buy, as they tend to keep the temperature stable, have access for the wires and cryogenic tubes, will keep out/in EM noise, and are pretty cheap. There was a line on the floor of that room, off in the corner, that had where the 'light speed' signal from the other measurement room stopped when the measurement (in the room we were in) was made, proving that the measurements could not interact. If you ever get a chance, get a tour at NIST, it is well worth whatever strings you have to pull. Getting to see The United States Second (where the US measures all of out time from) was a real highlight of my scientific career.
I'm not sure what the Jacobite rebellion of Battle of Culloden are off the top of my head, those aren't taught in history classes in America, but I've always been taught starting from James I in 1603 when the same king ruled the two lands. Being a partnership doesn't require being one combined country, having the same head of state seems like pretty close relations.

But if unsuccessful civil wars are allowed to disrupt the unity of a nation, hell, America has only been a country for like 150 years, not 250. The American Civil War was a lot bloodier than the Battle of Culloden.

Much as I love Clojure I find the list vs seq abstraction goes against the lisp tradition.
I've been working on a CL project for a couple of years. Was my first big stab at using CL for something other than a toy.
Sbcl is a nice choice, but far from the only option. It has many tradeoffs.
CL is not without its frustrations. Documentation that has not aged well. A community that can be less than welcoming.
(in contrast to say the Racket community)
Inconsistencies, e.g. first, nth, elt, getf, aref...
However portability appears to be a strong point vs on the scheme scene.
Single binary compilation on SBCL/LW/ACL/CCL are great. Found GC to sbcl to be lacking on large garbage rates. Tended to promote garbage to a tenure that prevented it from being removed. It would max out 32GB of memory, even with explicit gc's enabled between files. Where as the other implementations would stay below 4GB.

So ymmv.

Performance benchmarks using cl-bench really highlighted some strong points http://zeniv.linux.org.uk/~ober/clb

You bring up a good point that many people might not have realized: relying on the FCC to regulate solely without the backing of legislation will not result in the kind of long-term stable regulations and consumer protections that we are looking for because what the FCC decides to do could change on a dime whenever the administration changes.
Ya, so do I. Seriously. We can't have different political opinions without it turning into this?
No, this is a consequence of the republicans being in power.
Biology :)
The Republicans have a majority. This lets them do things that fit with the ideological center and/or other priorities of their party. So we will have lots of party line votes in the next couple years.

(They could have let the rule go into effect and then drafted legislation to clarify and unify the regulation of internet privacy. This might have been annoying for ISPs. So what.)
It's right here in the 2016 manifesto:

We believe that the Scottish Parliament should have the right to hold another referendum if there
is clear and sustained evidence that independence has become the preferred option of a majority of the Scottish people – or if there is a significant and material change in the circumstances that prevailed in 2014, such as Scotland being taken out of the EU against our will.

(https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/thesnp/pages/5540/atta... - page 23)

Quite aside from that, the obviously stated public policy of the SNP and the Greens is that Scottish independence is their preferred constitutional settlement. It's hard to imagine that one would vote SNP while being unaware that this was a possibility, and it's hard to imagine a more obvious and legitimate political move.
does that mean that our data was already (or is currently) being sold?

Probably. I doubt that broadband carriers would admit it publicly one way or the other.

They've been able to for at least 1.5 years, and counting.
In this situation, I'm not sure what the functional difference is between causing an outbreak and refusing to prevent one.

Let me walk through this (for my own benefit). People get HIV/Hep C from IV drug abuse. Needle exchanges are a way to get infected needles off the street. There was a statewide ban on needle exchange programs. Pence agreed with this sentiment and voted for public health funding cuts (2011). 2013, Pence is governor, and planned parenthood in Scott County shuts down. January 2015, outbreak happened, and cause was identified. April 2015, Pence allowed a temporary needle exchange in Scott County.

So this makes me think that, yes, Pence supported things that led to the outbreak. Inaction is still an action, is it not? But at the same time, he changed his mind (after 3 months, but better late than never) once he realized it was no longer gubernatorially (is that a word?) feasible to stick to his position.
But that's still likely too high.

The truth is important. Getting facts wrong about wars can only help people who are pro-war by making pacifists look uninformed.
To me this is quite depressing. The sure amount of bounds errors and whatnot in things like font handling, audio, images, etc mean that evil websites/email/etc have a strong chance of owning your device for years to come.

Highlights the value of languages like Swift or Rust that build in bounds checking into the language itself, preventing such attacks (as long as you don't call any explicitly unsafe bits). I do wonder if Apple is considering re-writing any of these core services in a safer language.
That's no different from any other empire.
Very nice editor add-on. Looking forward to the Enterprise info as more becomes available.

Realistically it is a fringe issue and people have 18 months to forget about it before there is an election.
> not to mention tamper with

Modifying the SNI hostname in transit is pointless - the client still knows what hostname they sent. Changing the SNI hostname would only cause the server to send back a different certificate, which would immediately be noticed by the client.
Unfortunately some popular services (Netflix, Hulu) block VPN traffic. So I've moved a large chunk of my browsing over to Tor, but that makes it an open target for the NSA since they feel they can attack any data passing through links outside the NSA.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Assuming, of course, that you didn't spend way too much buying the treadmill and can't afford another exercise device until you pay that one off.
WaPo has never been and will never even come close to Breitbart.

Well, they certainly weren't close to the Obama administration or Clinton campaign like WaPo was, as clearly revealed in numerous WikiLeaks-exposed email exchanges.

Meanwhile, if you see any factual errors on Breitbart, by all means post them.
I think the country would be a much healthier and happier place.

Health care expenses would go down a lot and I believe in many jobs productivity wouldn't suffer much either. I see so many people just going through the motions pretending to be busy.
On Sunday? Not happening. Ever. Weekends are off limits, particularly since having kids. Man, I hate meetings enough during the work week, and you wanna have one on the weekend? Even if it's short, or over the phone, or via email, or slack, or whatever, it's still a work intrusion. I personally think the weekend should be four days a week, and damn near sacred.
I don't understand why people like yourself have to try to reframe and deflect attention on everything to fit your political narrative. Why can't you just see the problem for what it is and hold the representatives with your political affiliation accountable? Who really cares who our "traditional" privacy regulator is if neither of them end up able/willing to do the regulating? Why are you trying to frame this as a mistake made by the "previous president" when every single vote cast to repeal the only possible legal barrier to the commoditization of the internet activity of US citizens was cast by house/senate republicans? Are you perhaps suggesting that republicans would be the ones behind pushing a law through congress protecting internet privacy? I cannot comprehend how you can rationalize this (UM ACTUALLY... THIS IS OBAMA'S FAULT!) drivel in your head without some serious cognitive dissonance
> But England and Scotland? Find me an older partnership than that one

The Co-Principality of Andorra. Sure, there was a hiccup in 1812-1813, but it's hardly like the England-Scotland "partnership" hasn't had hiccups, and 789 years beats 310 years quite handily.
This seems like a diffuse cost / concentrated benefit problem to me. It will be an uphill battle to get a large number of people to pay more for things in order to benefit a relatively small group of those employed in making those things. This doesn't even really work for local face-to-face service work where the benefit to the local community is fairly obvious, let alone for manufacturers largely located in completely different states.
We're talking about inexperienced users, so it sounds pretty much the same to me. Case in point: go search for API keys on GitHub.
THAT IS NOT A FLIP SIDE. The solution to being upset about one entity being able to sell your data is NOT to let other entities do it too!
Seems to agree with me, however, I don't need a study to know that legally preventing people from copying other people, prevents all of those other people from making progress. Patents make copying into theft, but copying is not theft. The reason we have patents is not to grant patent holders a monopoly, it's to ensure society doesn't lose knowledge that might otherwise be locked up in trade secrets; granting patent holders a limited monopoly is not the goal, it is the means by which the goal is achieved, making secrets public knowledge. The system has however gotten out of hand and patents are now collected and used as legal weapons against competitors to prevent competition. Software patents in particular, should not exist, and are rarely enforced because virtually everyone violates software patents on a daily basis as the patent office is too ignorant to know what should and should not be patent-able.
Pretty sure 50 is bankrupt now.
I think you will be happy with either one. It's targeted mainly toward people familiar with them, but here's a recent comparison:

http://fare.livejournal.com/188429.html

Note that a lot of what Faré likes about racket is somewhat intrinsic in there being one implementation, and a big part of why racket branded itself away from scheme (it was formerly PLT-Scheme).

In lisp there are still a lot of very different implementations in use, so if you want to "grow down" you either have to be non-portable or do a lot more work.

I love Common Lisp, so I will say "learn Common Lisp" but you'll probably be just as happy if you flip a coin (and I would recommend doing so rather than debating much as learning the "wrong" one now is probably better than learning the "right" one in the future).
For twitch communities, Curse is very much on the radar, and they can get very large. Curse has full integration of various features streamers use, such as giveaways. No longer do you need to setup a whole bunch of stuff yourself, you can interact with your community in an official capacity outside of just the stream.

Discord is a cool program, and I applaud them for how far they've come, but there are gaps in functionality that have been refused implementation because 'not enough votes'. Basic things, such as being able to change font sizes, or have two columns of guilds, or actually turn off the 'blocked messages' pop-up that comes in when somebody that you've blocked talks in a chat you're in. (Yes, that's a thing).

When someone has to download a mod for your program to experience it better, you're doing it wrong.

Discord still lacks features even Ventrillo had, such as text channels per voice channel. You can't just send stuff to each other, you've gotta form another group, or use a public text channel in the guild. Thats the kind of problem Discord was made to solve, yet refuses.

And, as you said, Its not near Mumble quality, and due to the convenience of the program everybody just uses open mic. I can't join a community VC without it sounding like I just joined a group Skype call. With mumble, you had to look through the options and setup your mic, and a lot more people chose PTT.

For anyone interested in fool-proof PTT, just re-bind your caps-lock key to F14 (Scroll Lock), or some other special key on your keyboard if you have extra keys.

Effectively, Discord is just used for text channels, because the very thing they advertise, VOIP, is worse than the software its supposed to be better than. Give me Mumble any day for voice, and Discord for chat.
> but it is very much a fact that the meat industry does subject animals to intense suffering

>My statement is indisputably factual, the only subjective element is whether you believe that system is justifiable.

That sure sounds to me like it's universal. Which is why I responded the way I did. I'm not arguing that's everything is totally good. But your statement reads as everything is universally bad. Which isn't factually correct, as you've admitted.

Ultimately yes there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the system. But if you only buy animals that were humanely treated it's pretty easy to sleep at night.
Of course! Sorry I didn't mean to suggest otherwise. I'm just frustrated and doing my best to channel that into action.
