I've used f.lux for years and I really like it, as I have noticed my sleep patterns have improved during that time.

However, I do think that the transition is sometimes really too quick. I can be working away, deep in 'flow' and I will alarmingly perceive the screen going darker/changing a couple of times over the evening. It almost feel like I am passing out or getting a precursor to a migraine sometimes, with the change, which is quite jarring.

The other thing is the constant annoying notifications of "You are going to be awake in 'x' hours". Well, actually, no - If I am up and coding until 2am, then chances of me being awake at 6am when you expect me to is just not on.

I also wish they would have an 'emergency awake' function, so that when I jump on to the keyboard to fix a server outage at 5am after many hours away sleeping, that it would immediately go to full brightness there and then, rather than wait until 0630 as per normal. If I am active at that time after a long break, I am NOT going back to sleep and I have to have full illumination of all those red signals on my server dashboard! :)

Google Talk was an instant messaging system that replaced others for many people. It was XMPP so you could use any client with it (Pidgin was popular). It was great because not everybody wants to use web based IM.
I think the bigger hole is DNS. Full-tunnel VPNs to primarily TLS-encrypted sites seems like overkill. Encrypted DNS plus an "HTTPS Everywhere" plugin should obfuscate enough info for most people without significantly affecting latency.

I think Apple may have deliberately chosen to go for a less severe difference in colors, so as to get more people onboard the general idea of colors shifting through the day, at first. Expect it to evolve in a future macOS/iOS (hopefully along with the introduction of a true dark mode.)

f.lux, while more effective, may be off-putting to most people. The medicinal orangeness was a bit sickening to me when I first tried f.lux, to the point that I didn't want to use it, though I warmed up to it later.
Repairing a clock, or creating a weaving machine requires thought with an underlying simplicity (and definitiveness) to its logic - you have to take simple facts and relationships (without rich associations) that can piled on top of each other and yield precise calculations. Poetry is a great preparation for many things, but probably not clock design or repair.

Math, logic, mechanics - what's so different about these tasks is that they're simple-to-complex. But because our minds are association-machines, they're all hard for us. Chess gets you closer to that sort of thinking than Go does (it's a more intuitive game.) However Chinese chess has a long history and isn't much different than Western chess, so chess hasn't been a Western advantage. And a language with an alphabet and tons of homonyms strips away many of the rich associations present, say, in the written Chinese language. I'm going to guess you haven't experienced and can't imagine the difference, or perhaps the notion that the Chinese way might be richer or superior in any respect.

Compare many of the mind-bending "reasonings" of Medieval thinkers from a time when Latin was the medium of scholarship. So many of these, which were taken very seriously at the time, are just stupifying to moderns - because the arguments are so easily taken over by coincidental associations which to a modern person have no logical importance at all, of any kind. Latin borrowed, but never as freely as English did, and by Medieval times was a pared-down, rationalized version of Ancient Latin. No forest of homographs.

Another pretty well-known hypothesis holds that english common law, which in contrast with so many other top-down legal traditions, necessitated the logical reconciliation of decision across many circumstances, etc, over hundreds of years, reinforced the mechanical bent of mind. I guess you'd find it plumb crazy too.

One tip when rebasing in vim, you can execute commands in the session. I use sed to replace picks with other commands:

Also, I've gotten used to using git commit --fixup with git rebase --autosquash, so I rarely need to interactively rebase these days.

A Bot That Can Tell When It's Really Donald Trump Who's Tweeting
I can see where you're coming from, but I tend to bucket apps I write into either general use case, mostly business-logic apps, or highly specific services. (say, a network proxy or compositor or something) The general use case apps all tend to share a good deal of requirements (multiple pages, authentication, forms, etc) and while it would certainly be possible to pick and choose each component, it's nice to have a shared set of functionality that is well-tested together and that stays the same between multiple projects and teams.

I think adopting something like ember is pretty much the opposite of "can't maintain it" since while I understand how it works internally, I don't actually have to maintain it myself. In my experience I've seen more instances where we ended up ripping out a homegrown library to replace with a community-supported solution than the other way around.
Are the charts for Night Shift on MacOS? The dataset provided at the very bottom is for the iPad Pro...
I think there is a LOT in this, as individual pageviews dictate revenue more than reputation, However, I think there is a misnomer about pageviews vs reputation.

In Australia, the equivalent of the NYTimes is probably The Age or the Sydney Morning Herald. On both sites, people read a lot of gossip. I haven't seen stats recently, but when a mate worked there they were usually the top stories on any given day outside say Steve Irwin dying.

Someone can read gossip anywhere - so why go to a reputable site to do it? I think people still go to reputable sites because they can convince themselves they aren't one of the masses that reads gossip. Oh no. They read The Age / NYTimes etc.

The publications that chase pageviews at the expense of reputation threaten to destroy that convenient delusion, and I wonder if, longer term, that will hurt the bottom line. Fake News SHOULD be a huge financial gain for the mainstream media, as reputation is the number one factor people suggest when working out if something is fake news. So more than even reputation is the key - even when the goal is more gossip pageviews.

I was a happy user of the python autocomplete package with Jedi for some time. Starting in November 2016 they introduced kite-specific code, shipping kite-installer as a dependency and also added tracking of your autocompletion behaviour (I suspect this is where they get their Kite vs. Jedi performance numbers from).

Only in February 2017 I noticed that the whole package had changed right under me because of an error traceback window caused by their metrics collection going wrong. I looked at the package settings and IIRC there was a checkmark set for the "Use Kite" option which I'm pretty sure I did not set myself.

The telemetry collection alone is a deal breaker for me. But I also don't like the sneaky way they practically took over the package without clear notice and consent. The package README still makes no mention of Kite and the package is running under the innocently looking 'autocomplete-python' GitHub org instead of their 'kiteco' org. To me it's a very fishy 'growth hacking' strategy.
I thought it was a joke about race conditions.
Looks great. The template feature will come in handy.
What I am asking you to do is clarify what you mean by the terms "subjectivity" and "objectivity". I am asking that because it is common for people to differ as to whether a given claim is objective or subjective, and so I would like to know how you yourself decide.
I'm not sure which OS you're on, or how old a version, but on MacOS it should be on slow transition by default, and I'm not really sure of the details on "fast transition".

On Windows it actually has a more verbose option saying to transition over 60 minutes. I'm wondering if that's the default, not-Fast-transitions on MacOS?

On that site he has a massive spreadsheet of many if not all VPN providers and the various pros and cons.
Keep in mind Labor cost is only one part of the puzzle, it depends a lot on what you are manufacturing. In large heavy industries (Metals, chemicals, plastics etc) the raw materials costs can dwarf the labor cost by a significant amount. Obviously the story is different for lighter manufacturing (component assembly etc) where labor costs probably do make up a higher proportion of overall expenses.

An example from the industry I'm familiar with - Steel: The raw materials which go into manufacturing steel; iron ore and coal are such a huge portion of the operating costs that labor expenses almost look like a rounding error next to it when you tabulate out the expenses. A lot of heavy industry is similar (Aluminum has added expense that it required large amount of electricity which is why traditionally aluminum smelters have been linked to hydro sites).

If you can improve yield (ratio of raw materials consumed to product produced) by even a small margin you can justify your salary many times over which lends support to the idea you want to be employing smarter people not necessarily less people.

Here is Australia what has rocked my industry is falling demand, largely driven by GFC which has led to a sudden decline in new commercial and residential construction etc. (It is starting to recover now but is pretty staggered). As well as increased completion from imports.

I haven't seen any data supporting this but what I keep getting told is that in some cases Chinese government heavily subsidizes their industry so they can export at what would otherwise be a loss. This is called "Dumping" and is a form of predatory pricing the idea being you flood the market with very cheap goods then raise prices when competition is driven out of business. There is evidence this is happening to the US as well here is an article I found from Jan this year (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/01/18/us-affirms-finding-of-china-s...)

If I wanted to stimulate manufacturing I'd focus on demand (i.e government funded infrastructure projects) and trade policy (Better anti-dumping legislation etc).

there is a setting in the menu bar:

No, they're not.

The solution is getting strong, enforced laws that protect our privacy and punish those who break them.

But for the moment, with advertisers viewing themselves as gods gift to the internet who think that all your information belongs to them simply by virtue of existing, and who will go to great lengths to acquire and store it all (for perpetuity), a solution is needed, and part of that is VPN's.

I find C# to be pretty easy to pick up. (I'm wrapping up a project now with C# even though I've had very little experience in it before.) Since .NET has a wide range of applications and it's now cross-platform, I can see how it could become more important as time goes on.
The IP addresses are still there in the clear. VPNs for everyone for everything is the only long term answer to this problem and others like anticompetitive zero rating practices.
If I can fit a family of four in a 2012 Mustang it is nearly inconceivable a mid-size EV would not have enough space. Almost inconceivable that it won't have plenty of space.
> What if the user already has the IP address and knows the hostname?

Then the ISP just does a reverse DNS lookup, which can be implemented a bunch of different ways, it's not particularly difficult.

> SNI makes getting the hostnames easier

Getting the hostname from SNI requires TCP sessionization and at least some form of DPI. Getting the hostname my way just requires single-packet inspection with a reverse DNS lookup. If anything, my way is easier.
They are doing this to train Lex and Alexa on conversations. Remember Tesla has better data therefore it has the betters self driving car. The end goal is of course to lose the human operator.

> It seems that China's workers can make Macbooks and iPhones with high precision and low tolerances according to Apple's specifications.

Isn't Apple's high-precision manufacturing highly automated to a level of expense that no one else would try? IIRC, they have acres of automated CNC mills churning out MacBook cases.

Apple's manufacturing operation is so unique that it's not generalizable.
One thing I was wondering, beyond your own personal ISP, does this mean that the backbone providers, the Level 3's of the world, are going to get into selling data to advertisers? I was feeling personally ok because I use an ISP with a strong privacy pledge, but I wonder if their uplink is going to be selling my data. Though I guess it's less of a concern since the backbones don't have the complete personally identifying info that the customer ISPs have.
I remember doing this with f.lux back in the day. Unless they've removed it from the options?
On the contrary, Hanlon's razor could just assume good intentioned VPN hosts failing to secure their design by negligence or ignorance of broken protocols.
My hatred was earned. I worked in 3 offices with Indians (likely H-1B). Most were not that good, just willing to take anything from the employer.

Most of the overseas ones were incompetent and unable to learn or use logic. Many of them honestly couldn't compete with an average American 5th grader. Yes I'm serious.

Also some weren't potty trained. Seriously. I still have an email containing directions about how to use the bathroom.

What's Dagger 2?
Frankly I'm surprised they aren't doing this already.
Those iron cannons, together with a wealth of Elizabethan technical innovations, are a VERY large reason why Britain spanned the globe. The advantage of world-dominance didn't precede innovation, it resulted from it. Better weapons, better tactics, better hull designs for ships, better mining techniques and on and on and on.

The U.S. won WWII with no small amount of accumulated Western technology and technological advance. What WWII did do was allow the US (and Russia, but not Britain) to simply seize every German patent in existence without compensation, afterward. If you research Germany technological history you might have a chance to overturn my hypothesis. But the industrial revolution didn't begin there. In any case you'd have to do a lot more homework than you have so far. Japan was a latecomer, and can't count as a counterexample.

English as the primary language of technology and science long predates WWII. The exception might be chemistry (German.)
And it's this kind of impetus that creates voter apathy. If you insist on trying to shove square pegs into a round or triangular hole, you're just going to end up with vote tallies similar to the one you just saw with the national election.

As someone who didn't vote, no, I would not have changed my decision given the outcome, and this "lesser of two evils" justification crap is exactly why. Enjoy your shitty country.
Yeah, that seems like the most reasonable explanation. It sounds like the answer was just "deadline".

> Unclean power plants are still vastly more efficient than the most efficient internal combustion engines.

I don't think so.

> That's why trains are electric wherever possible.

1. Thing is, you don't have to refuel electric locomotives, so that saves time and logistics. Unless you plan to install a pantograph on the roof of your Tesla, you still have to refuel it.

2. Unlike cars, diesel locomotives do not use any kind of direct transmission anyway, they generate electricity from Diesel engines to power electric motors. Because unlike cars, they have to transmit huge power and torque to make the first wheels turns, and mechanical transmissions are not good for that, but electric engines are. So since they use electric engines anyway, why not power them from electrical energy instead of diesel? That's why locomotives are electrical wherever possible.

In general, you can still identify users for advertising purposes without knowing their IP address.
Most of those are made up prescriptive guidelines, mixed in with some common misspellings. One grumpy person does not get to decide how the rest of us choose to use and evolve language. The "forceful" / "forcible" example is particularly inane and pedantic but hardly the worst on that page. I'll continue to say "being that", "ice tea", "center around", etc. as I please.

In linguistics the illustrative analogy is that prescriptivism is akin to an anthropologist entering into a foreign culture and rather than simply observing, they instruct the members of this culture on how to cook, dress, cut their hair, etc. Most modern dictionaries (including the Oxford English dictionary) take a descriptive approach to the study of language.

If I was a betting man - backbone providers don't do this (sell to advertisers).

It would be costly to maintain the interception/analysis infrastructure required for such data collection.

I daresay it would cost more than what they would make off the data.
Interesting. Is it a subtle effect? Maybe I just haven't noticed it before.
